ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.01    Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained herein shall not survive the Closing, provided, however, that: (a) the Fundamental Representations and Warranties shall survive indefinitely; and (b) the representations and warranties in Section 3.19 shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days. None of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing for the period contemplated by its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the survival period set forth in this Section 8.01 is a contractual statute of limitations and any claim brought by any Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII must be brought or filed prior to the expiration of the survival period.

Section 8.02      Indemnification By Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VIII , Seller shall indemnify Buyer, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and equity holders; and each of them individually (each a “ Buyer Indemnified Party ”) against, and shall hold any Buyer Indemnified Party harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, any Buyer Indemnified Party based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) (i) all Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Sellers; (ii) all Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Company Group attributable to the Pre-Closing Period as set forth in Section 6.16 ; (iii) all Transfer Taxes for which Seller is liable under Section 6.15 ; and (iv) all Taxes attributable to any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations or warranties of Seller in Section 3.19 . For the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election shall be allocated to a Pre-Closing Period; and

(c) the amounts of any Outstanding Indebtedness or Transaction Payments that are not reflected in the calculation of the Final Cash Purchase Price.

Section 8.03      Indemnification By Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VIII , Buyer shall indemnify Seller against, and shall hold Seller harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Seller based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement; or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 8.04      Certain Limitations. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the “ Indemnified Party ”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the “ Indemnifying Party ”. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The sole and exclusive remedy of any Buyer Indemnified Party for any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, a Buyer Indemnified Party based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of Section 8.02(a) shall be to make a claim against the R&W Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to, and Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for, any Losses based upon, arising out of, or with respect to: (i) any inaccuracy or breach of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties; (ii) Seller’s Fraud in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII ; or (iii) claims under Section 8.02(a) , Section 8.02(b) , or Section 8.02(c) (collectively, the “ Permitted Claims ”). In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action against Seller for any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement, except for Permitted Claims. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 8.04(a) shall apply regardless of whether: (i) Buyer maintains the R&W Insurance Policy after Closing; (ii) the R&W Insurance Policy is revoked, cancelled or modified in any manner after issuance; or Buyer makes a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy and such claim is denied by the insurer.

(b) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds (including, but not limited to, proceeds from the R&W Insurance Policy) received and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by the Indemnified Party (or the Company Group) in respect of any such claim; provided that the amount of such proceeds or payment actually received shall be net of (i) any deductibles for the applicable insurance policies, (ii) any increase in the premium for the applicable insurance policies arising from such Losses and (iii) any other reasonable, documented costs incurred in connection with collecting such proceeds or payment. The Indemnified Party shall not be required to pursue or make a claim under any insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

(c) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit actually realized in the year in which the Loss arises and increased by any Tax detriment (including loss of asset basis), in each case, as a result of such Loss by the Indemnified Party or the receipt of the indemnification payment.

(d) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive damages, except to the extent claimed by a third party.

Section 8.05      Indemnification Procedures .

(a)      If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “ Third-Party Claim ”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve

the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the initial right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and with counsel elected by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and with the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, but not the right to assume or control such defense. The Indemnifying Party may assume control of such defense only if the Indemnified Party fails or refuses to defend such Third-Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b) , it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.07 ) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(b)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event the Indemnifying Party is defending the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 8.05(b) . If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a) , it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to settle any claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(c)      Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “ Direct Claim ”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day

period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request; provided that (i) Indemnifying Party signs a confidentiality agreement mutually acceptable to both parties, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party is not required to provide information covered by the attorney-client privilege. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.06      Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.07    Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 10.11 , the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud or intentional misrepresentation on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII . In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII . Nothing in this Section 8.07 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 10.11 or to seek any remedy on account of intentional fraud by any party hereto.

Section 8.08      Disregard for Qualifications as to Materiality . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether any representation or warranty has been breached and the amount of Losses arising therefrom, each representation and warranty in this Agreement and the schedules and exhibits hereto shall be read without regard and without giving effect to the terms “material,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect,” “except where the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect” or similar words or phrases contained in such representation or warranty (as if such words or phrases were deleted from such representation.

Compass Diversified Holdings Acquires Foam Fabricators

Accretive Platform Acquisition Adds Leading Designer and Manufacturer of Custom Molded Protective Foam Solutions to Family of Niche Leading Businesses

Westport, Conn., January 18, 2018 - Compass Diversified Holdings (NYSE: CODI) (“CODI” or the “Company”), an owner of leading middle market businesses, announced that on January 18, 2018, it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Foam Fabricators, Inc. (“Foam Fabricators”) from its owner Warren “Budd” Florkiewicz for a purchase price of $247.5 million (excluding working capital and certain other adjustments upon closing). The acquisition is expected to close within the next 45 days, subject to customary closing conditions. Wells Fargo Securities served as exclusive financial advisor to Foam Fabricators.

Headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ, Foam Fabricators is a leading designer and manufacturer of custom molded protective foam solutions and OEM components made from expanded polymers such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) and expanded polypropylene (EPP).

Foam Fabricators provides products to a variety of end-markets, including appliances and electronics, pharmaceuticals, health and wellness, automotive, building products and others. For the trailing twelve months ended November 30, 2017, the company reported net revenue of approximately $126 million and EBITDA of approximately $30 million. CODI expects to fund the purchase price through a draw on its revolving credit facility.

“We are pleased to start the year with an attractive platform acquisition, growing our family of niche leading businesses to ten,” said Alan Offenberg, CEO of Compass Diversified Holdings. “This platform acquisition will be immediately accretive and will enable us to continue growing our cash flow and provide attractive and stable distributions.”

Elias Sabo, CODI’s CEO-elect, stated, “Foam Fabricators possesses the key characteristics that we look for in all our subsidiaries: a strong management team; a diversified customer base; strong free cash flow; and attractive growth prospects. We look forward to working with them to capitalize on the growing demand in many of their end-markets.”

James K. Hughes, President of Foam Fabricators, will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer and continue leading the company.

CODI provides the financial stability and experience to allow us to continue to meet the needs of our customers, employees and stakeholders. We are eager to

leverage CODI’s financial resources and proven expertise in growing middle market companies to build upon our 60-year history. I would also like to thank Budd Florkiewicz for his leadership of the company over the last three decades.”
