Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 24, 2015, Builders FirstSource, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to an offering of $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 10.75% senior notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). The offering of the Notes is expected to close on or about July 31, 2015, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the initial purchasers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to contribute to payments the initial purchasers may be required to make in respect of those liabilities. Furthermore, the Company has agreed with the initial purchasers not to offer or sell any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company for a period of 180 days after the date of the Purchase Agreement without the prior written consent of the representative of the initial purchasers.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to (i) pay a portion of the consideration for the acquisition of ProBuild Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ProBuild”), in which the Company will acquire all of the operating affiliates of ProBuild through the purchase of its issued and outstanding equity interests (the “ProBuild Acquisition”), (ii) repay certain of its and ProBuild’s existing indebtedness and (iii) pay related transaction fees and expenses.

The Notes will be issued in a private transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Notes and the related guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act and the Notes and the related guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. This Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Builders FirstSource, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), proposes to issue and sell to the several initial purchasers listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), for whom you are acting as representative (the “Representative”), $700,000,000 principal amount of its 10.75% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Securities”).

The Securities will be issued in connection with the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by the Issuer of all of the outstanding equity interests of ProBuild Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ProBuild”), pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2015 (as amended from time to time, the “Acquisition Agreement”), among the Issuer, ProBuild, FMR LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, ProBuild Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, ProBuild Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ProBuild Parent”), and Lanoga Corporation, a Minnesota Corporation. In addition, in connection with the Acquisition, (i) the Issuer will obtain senior secured credit facilities comprised of (x) an $800,000,000 senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility pursuant to an asset-based credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) and (y) a $600,000,000 first-lien term loan facility pursuant to a first-lien term loan credit agreement (the “First-Lien Credit Agreement” and, together with the ABL Credit Agreement, the “Senior Credit Agreements”), as described in the Time of Sale Information (as defined below), and (ii) the Issuer will issue equity in the form of common equity having a gross aggregate amount not less than $100,000,000 (the “Equity Offering”). Upon consummation of the Acquisition, ProBuild will be a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and upon execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement (as defined below), ProBuild and certain of its subsidiaries will become parties to this purchase agreement (this “Agreement”).

References in this Agreement to the “BFS Guarantors” refer to each entity listed on Schedule 2-A hereto. References in this Agreement to the “ProBuild Guarantors” refer to (i) ProBuild and (ii) each entity listed on Schedule 2-B hereto. References to the “Guarantors” refer to the BFS Guarantors and the ProBuild Guarantors, collectively.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Transactions” means (a) the issuance and sale of the Securities; (b) the Equity Offering; (c) the consummation of the Acquisition; (d) the execution and delivery of the Senior Credit Agreements and any documents required thereunder; (e) the repayment of the Existing ABL Facility, ProBuild’s unsecured subordinated notes due in 2017 and ProBuild’s existing indebtedness incurred pursuant to the ProBuild Credit Agreement (the “Refinancing”); and (f) the payment of all fees and expenses related to any of the foregoing.

The Securities are to be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Initial Indenture”), to be entered into among the Issuer, the BFS Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), for which the obligations of the Issuer in respect of the Securities will be fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the BFS Guarantors (the “Initial Guarantees”). The ProBuild Guarantors will enter into a supplemental indenture, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Supplemental Indenture”), with the Trustee pursuant to which the ProBuild Guarantors will provide Guarantees (as defined below), effective as of and from the Closing Date. As used herein, the term “Indenture” shall mean the Initial Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture. Following the Closing Date, the obligations of the Issuer in respect of the Securities will be fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by (i) the Guarantors and (ii) any domestic subsidiary of the Issuer formed or acquired after the Closing Date that is required to execute a supplemental indenture to provide a Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement is to confirm the agreement concerning the purchase of the Securities from the Issuer by the Initial Purchasers.

On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall and shall cause each ProBuild Guarantor to execute and deliver a joinder agreement (the “Joinder Agreement”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, whereby each such ProBuild Guarantor will agree to observe and fully perform all of the rights, obligations and liabilities contemplated herein as if it were an original signatory hereto; provided that until such time as each ProBuild Guarantor executes the Joinder Agreement, no ProBuild Guarantor shall have any rights under this Agreement.

The Securities will be sold to the Initial Purchasers without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon an exemption therefrom. The Issuer has prepared a preliminary offering memorandum dated July 16, 2015 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”) and will prepare an offering memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Offering Memorandum”) setting forth information concerning the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Securities and the Guarantees. Copies of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum have been, and copies of the Offering Memorandum will be, delivered by the Issuer to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Issuer hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the other Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum in connection with the offering and resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by this Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

At the time when sales of the Securities were first made (the “Time of Sale”), or prior thereto, the Issuer had prepared the following information (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as supplemented and amended by the written communications listed on Annex A hereto.

The Issuer and the BFS Guarantors and, upon execution of the Joinder Agreement, the ProBuild Guarantors hereby confirm their agreement with the several Initial Purchasers concerning the purchase and resale of the Securities, as follows:

1. Purchase and Resale of the Securities.

(a) The Issuer agrees to issue and sell the Securities to the several Initial Purchasers as provided in this Agreement, and each Initial Purchaser, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Issuer the respective principal amount of Securities set forth opposite such Initial Purchaser’s name in Schedule 1 hereto at a price equal to 97.75% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, from July 31, 2015 to the Closing Date (the “Purchase Price”). The Issuer will not be obligated to deliver any of the Securities except upon payment for all the Securities to be purchased as provided herein.

(b) The Issuer understands that the Initial Purchasers intend to offer the Securities for resale on the terms set forth in the Time of Sale Information. Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and agrees that:

(i) it is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”) and an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”);

(ii) it has not, directly or indirectly, solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act; and

(iii) it has not, directly or indirectly, solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities as part of the initial offering except:

(A)

within the United States to persons whom it reasonably believes to be QIBs in transactions pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and in connection with each such sale, it has taken or will take reasonable steps to ensure that the purchaser of the Securities is aware that such sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A;

(B)

to persons inside the United States that are accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2), (3), (7) and (8) under the Securities Act); or

(C)

in accordance with the restrictions set forth in Annex C hereto.

(c) Each Initial Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer and, for purposes of the “no registration” opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 6(f) and 6(g), counsel for the Issuer and counsel for the Initial Purchasers, respectively, may rely upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers, and compliance by the Initial Purchasers with their agreements, contained in paragraph (b) above (including Annex C hereto), and each Initial Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.

(d) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers may offer and sell Securities to or through any affiliate of an Initial Purchaser and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Securities purchased by it to or through any Initial Purchaser; provided that such offers and sales shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including Annex C hereto).

(e) The Issuer and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that each Initial Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Issuer and the Guarantors with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Issuer or the Guarantors or any other person in connection therewith. Additionally, neither the Representative nor any other Initial Purchaser is advising the Issuer or the Guarantors or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Representative nor any other Initial Purchaser shall have any responsibility or liability to the Issuer or the Guarantors with respect thereto. Any review by the Representative or any Initial Purchaser of the Issuer, the Guarantors, and the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Representative or such Initial Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall not be on behalf of the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other person.

2. Payment and Delivery.

(a) Payment for and delivery of the Securities will be made at the offices of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on July 31, 2015 or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as the Representative and the Issuer may agree upon in writing. The time and date of such payment and delivery is referred to herein as the “Closing Date” and the time of Closing on the Closing Date is referred to herein as the “Closing.”

(b) Payment for the Securities shall be made by payment of the Purchase Price to the account or accounts specified by the Issuer by wire transfer in immediately available funds against delivery to the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), for the account of the Initial

Purchasers, of one or more global notes representing the Securities (collectively, the “Global Note”), with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale of the Securities duly paid by the Issuer. The Global Note will be made available for inspection by the Representative not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the business day prior to the Closing Date.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Issuer and the Guarantors. The Issuer and the BFS Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to each Initial Purchaser and, upon the execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement, each of the ProBuild Guarantors, jointly and severally with the Issuer and the BFS Guarantors, represents and warrants to each Initial Purchaser that, as of the Time of Sale and as of the Closing Date:

(a) Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Time of Sale Information and Offering Memorandum. The Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale, did not, and at the Closing Date, will not, and the Offering Memorandum, as of its date or as of the Closing Date, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Issuer and the Guarantors make no representation or warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Issuer in writing by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum.

(b) Additional Written Communications. The Issuer and the Guarantors (including their respective agents and representatives, other than the Initial Purchasers in their capacity as such) have not prepared, made, used, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities (each such communication by the Issuer and the Guarantors or their agents and representatives (other than a communication referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below) an “Issuer Written Communication”) other than (i) the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, (ii) the Offering Memorandum, (iii) the documents listed on Annex A hereto, including the term sheet substantially in the form of Annex B hereto, which constitute part of the Time of Sale Information and (iv) any electronic road show or other written communications, in each case used in accordance with Section 4(c) hereof. Each such Issuer Written Communication, when taken together with the Time of Sale Information at the Time of Sale, did not, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Issuer and the Guarantors make no representation or warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in each such Issuer Written Communication in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Issuer in writing by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in any Issuer Written Communication. No Issuer Written Communication contains any information that conflicts with the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum.

Upon execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement, the only material subsidiaries the Issuer will own or control, directly or indirectly, are listed in Schedule 3 to this Agreement.

(f) Capitalization. Except with regard to Dixieline Builders Fund Control, Inc., Builder’s Capital LLC and Pro-Build Real Estate Holdings, LLC (the “Transferred Subsidiaries”), all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each subsidiary of the Issuer and ProBuild are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer or ProBuild, as applicable, free and clear of any security interest, claim, lien, limitation on voting rights or encumbrance (collectively, “Liens”) (other than the Senior Credit Agreements (as described in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum), the Existing Indenture (as described in each of the Time of Sale Information and the

judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for any such default or violation that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(o) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer and each of the Guarantors of each of the Transaction Documents to which each is a party, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the issuance of the Guarantees and compliance by the Issuer and each of the Guarantors with the terms thereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or asset of the Issuer, ProBuild or any of their respective subsidiaries pursuant to, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer, ProBuild or any of their respective subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer, ProBuild or any of their respective subsidiaries is bound or to which any property or asset of the Issuer, ProBuild or any of their respective subsidiaries is subject (other than any lien or encumbrance created or imposed pursuant to the collateral documents relating to and required by the Senior Credit Agreements), (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents of the Issuer, ProBuild or any of their respective subsidiaries or (iii) result in the violation of any applicable law or statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, except, (A) in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) above, for any such conflict, breach, violation, default, lien, charge or encumbrance that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (B) in the case of clause (i) above after giving effect to the repayment and termination of all obligations under the Existing Credit Agreements.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. the Issuer and each of the BFS Guarantors and, upon execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement, the ProBuild Guarantors, jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for or defending against any loss, damage, liability, litigation, investigation, suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) whether threatened or commenced and in connection with the enforcement of this provision with respect to any of the above, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Issuer in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

(b) Indemnification of the Issuer and the Guarantors. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Issuer and each of the BFS Guarantors, their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer or any such BFS Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above and (ii) upon execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement, each of the ProBuild Guarantors, each of their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such ProBuild Guarantor, or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above (each person described in clauses (i) and (ii), an “Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party”), but in each case only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Initial Purchaser

Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum, in each case as amended or supplemented, or any Issuer Written Communication or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by the Initial Purchasers specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party is a party thereto) whether threatened or commenced based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Initial Purchasers consists of the following information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum: the fourth and fifth sentences of the seventh paragraph and the eighth paragraph, in each case found under the heading “Plan of distribution.”

(c) Notice and Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party (the “Indemnified Person”) will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Person”) under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the Indemnifying Person of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above, except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnifying Person otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to it that are materially different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential materially differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and any such separate firm for the Issuer, ProBuild and the Guarantors and their respective directors

and officers and any control persons of the Issuer, ProBuild and the Guarantors shall be designated in writing by the Issuer. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request; (ii) such Indemnifying Person shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent, in respect of clause (i) below, will not be unreasonably withheld, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer from the sale of the Securities and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer or any Guarantor or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (d), the ProBuild Guarantors and any of their related Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to any contribution hereunder until they have executed the Joinder Agreement.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Issuer and the BFS Guarantors, and, upon execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement, the ProBuild Guarantors, and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Issuer, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date: (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum.

9. Defaulting Initial Purchaser.

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Issuer on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Issuer shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons

satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Issuer may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Issuer or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Time of Sale Information, the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Securities that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Issuer as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Issuer shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Initial Purchaser’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Issuer as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Issuer shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of the Issuer or the Guarantors, except that the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 10 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

10. Payment of Expenses.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Issuer and the BFS Guarantors and upon the execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement, each of the ProBuild Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and printing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication and

the Offering Memorandum (including any amendment or supplement thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial Purchasers); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and reasonable expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; and (ix) all expenses incurred by the Issuer in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors (it being understood that the Initial Purchasers, collectively, shall bear half of the costs associated with any chartered aircraft). It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section 10 and Section 7 hereof, the Initial Purchasers will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on resale of any of the Securities by them, and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8, (ii) the Issuer for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers or (iii) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

11. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates of each Initial Purchaser referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

12. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers.

13. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (d) the term “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (e) the term “written communication” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

14. Compliance with USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Initial Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Issuer, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Initial Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.
