These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Baker Distributing Company and subsidiary as of September 30, 1996 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

See notes to consolidated financial statements. 9 BAKER DISTRIBUTING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the accounts of Baker Distributing Company (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Booth Refrigeration Supply Co., Inc. ("Booth"). All material intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trek Corporation (the "Parent"). Interim Financial Information - The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1997 and the unaudited consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending September 30, 1997. The sale of the Company's products is seasonal with revenues generally increasing during the months of May through August. Cash - Cash includes cash on hand and on deposit at various financial institutions. Depreciation and Amortization - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When items of property are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the assets and the accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Any resulting gains or losses are taken into income. Discount amortization - Discounts on long term debt are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related debt. Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are calculated in accordance with the method described by the Financial Accounting Standards Board under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Accordingly, deferred income taxes are recognized for items of income and loss recognized in different periods for financial and income tax reporting purposes and on differences between book and tax bases of net assets acquired in purchase transactions using presently enacted rates. Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company believes the carrying amount of its financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable, employee receivables, accounts payable, deferred compensation under stock appreciation rights plan and long-term debt) is a reasonable estimate of the fair value of these instruments. Future Accounting Pronouncements - In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121, which is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995, establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. Impairment is assessed by comparing the book value of such assets to the estimated undiscounted future operating cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its final disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Effective October 1, 1996, the Company 10 adopted SFAS 121. The adoption of SFAS 121 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. 2. BUSINESS Substantially all of the Company's revenue is derived from the wholesale distribution of air conditioning, refrigeration and heating equipment, appliances, parts and supplies. The Company's operations encompass the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. 3. INVENTORIES All inventories are valued at the lower of cost determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method or market. The LIFO method results in a more appropriate matching of current costs with current revenues. Under the LIFO method of inventory valuation, inventories were reduced by approximately $4,018 at September 30, 1996. If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation had been used, income before income taxes would have been increased by approximately $892 for the year ended September 30, 1996. 4. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt at September 30, 1996 consists of: Mortgage note (7-1/4% at September 30, 1996) due in monthly installments of $6 including interest through June, 1998 (interest rate renegotiable, not to exceed 9-1/2%) $102 5% Small Business Administration Loans - due through 2009 in monthly installments of $2 including interest, net of unamortized discount of $88 based on imputed interest rate of 18% of $2 including interest 127 ------ 229 Less current portion (69) ------ $160 ====== The mortgage note is collateralized by land and a building with an immaterial book value. The Small Business Administration loan is collateralized by inventories and accounts receivable. Maturities of long-term debt after September 30, 1996 are as follows: 1997 $ 69 1998 51 1999 7 2000 8 2001 8 Thereafter 86 ------ $229 ====== 11 5. OPERATING LEASES The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancellable long-term operating leases which expire at various dates through 2014. Future minimum lease commitments as of September 30, 1996 were as follows: REAL ESTATE EQUIPMENT TOTAL ----------- --------- --------- 1997 $ 3,169 $ 496 $ 3,665 1998 2,902 298 3,200 1999 2,103 103 2,206 2000 1,397 12 1,409 2001 1,149 5 1,154 Thereafter 5,481 - 5,481 --------- --------- --------- $ 16,201 $ 914 $ 17,115 ========= ========= ========= Some leases require the Company to pay property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance and repairs and have renewal options. Total rental expense was approximately $4,313 for the year ended September 30, 1996. 6. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes has been computed as if the Company filed tax returns separate from the Parent. The difference between the total taxes reported for the Company and all other subsidiaries of the Parent and the consolidated expense is reported as part of the Parent's tax expense or credit. The Parent therefore receives the benefit of or charge for any difference between the consolidated tax provision and separate return provisions. The provision for income taxes for the year ended September 30, 1996 includes the following: Current payable $ 2,620 Deferred 37 -------- Provision for income tax $ 2,657 ======== Reconciliation from the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate to the Company's effective rate is as follows: Statutory tax rate 35.0% Effect of graduated rates (1.0) State income taxes, net of Federal income tax benefit 3.9 Other, net .9 ----- Effective tax rate 38.8% ====== The Company's temporary differences are principally related to depreciation, timing of deductibility of other accruals and recognition of other gains and their related tax effects. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at September 30, 1996 are summarized below: Deferred tax assets $ 1,223 Deferred tax liabilities (939) ------- Net deferred tax asset $ 284 ======= 12 The Company, through its acquisition of Booth, can utilize certain tax attributes such as a net operating loss carryforward ("NOL") for both regular and alternative minimum tax purposes. The amount of the NOL for regular tax purposes is $949. The utilization of such losses is limited on an annual basis subject to certain limitations in the Internal Revenue Code and will expire in varying amounts ending in the year 2010. 7. PROFIT-SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLANS The Company has a trusteed, non-contributory profit sharing and retirement plan covering substantially all employees of the Company. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, Booth's plan was merged into the Company's plan. The annual contribution to the plan is determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors and amounted to $910 for the year ended September 30, 1996. 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Parent provided the Company short-term advances with interest at the prime rate during the year ended September 30, 1996. There were no outstanding borrowings at September 30, 1996. Interest incurred on these short-term borrowings was $218 in 1996. The Company provides long-term and short-term advances to the Parent. The long-term advances are non-interest bearing and totaled $2,185 at September 30, 1996. The Company guarantees two notes aggregating $53,000 for the Parent. Outstanding borrowings under the notes were $37,700 at September 30, 1996. The Company incurred costs for the year ended September 30, 1996 of $1,300 for management services provided by the Parent and costs of $40 as a usage charge for the Company's computer system, which was provided by the Parent. The Company also guarantees a credit agreement for the Parent. Amounts available under the agreement are adjusted periodically according to seasonal requirements and range from $57,000 to $84,000 for operating capital, letters of credit and bankers acceptance financing. Additionally, $165,000 may be used to enter into foreign exchange contracts. Outstanding borrowings were $28,800 at September 30, 1996. In addition, there were $10,790 of letters of credit and non-discounted bankers acceptances outstanding at September 30, 1996 and the Parent had contracts to sell foreign currencies for U.S. dollars at fixed forward rates of $33,953 and contracts to purchase 1,150,603 Japanese yen ($10,511) at fixed forward rates. The Company was allocated costs of $416 for the year ended September 30, 1996 for general business insurance and workmen's compensation insurance that was obtained by the Parent for the benefit of the Company. The Company leases one store from the profit sharing and retirement plan as of September 30, 1996. Rental expense to the plan was approximately $29 for the year ended September 30, 1996. 9. DEFERRED COMPENSATION UNDER APPRECIATION RIGHTS PLAN The Parent has a deferred compensation plan under which common stock appreciation rights may be granted. Holders of the stock appreciation rights are entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the increase in book value per share over the initial value. The charge to operations under the stock appreciation rights plan was approximately $430 for the year ended September 30, 1996. 13 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Effective June 30, 1997, Booth, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, was merged with and into the Company. On September 30, 1997, the Parent completed a transaction pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Watsco, Inc. ("Watsco") whereby the Parent sold all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company to Watsco. The accompanying financial statements do not include the effects, if any, on the carrying amount of assets and liabilities relative to the transaction contemplated in the Agreement. 14 ITEM 7(b)(i)

The accompanying notes to unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are an integral part of this statement. 17 ITEM 7(b)(iii) WATSCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements give effect to the purchase by Watsco, Inc. ("Watsco") of all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Baker Distributing Company ("Baker"). The pro forma information is based on the historical financial statements of Watsco and Baker. The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may not necessarily be indicative of the results that would actually have been obtained had the acquisition of Baker occurred on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future. In the opinion of Watsco's management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly such Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes of Watsco and Baker. (2) The estimated purchase price for Baker is $65.3 million, including estimated acquisition expenses. Goodwill, representing the excess cost over the net assets acquired, will be amortized over a 40 year period. A reconciliation of the net assets of Baker to be acquired to the total estimated purchase price is as follows: Fair value of net assets $31,742 Adjustment of inventory to FIFO cost basis 4,393 Assets not purchased - Due from parent (3,545) Employee receivables (584) Liabilities not assumed - Federal and state income tax liability 673 Deferred compensation under stock appreciation rights plan, net of related tax benefit 1,288 Excess of purchase price over net assets acquired 31,333 ---------- Total $65,300 ========== (3) The inventories included in the historical financial statements of Baker are stated under the last-in, first-out method. Subsequent to the acquisition of Baker, such inventory amounts will be stated by Watsco based on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. These amounts represent adjustments to reflect inventories and cost of sales using the FIFO method as if Baker valued inventories under the FIFO method as of the beginning of each year presented in the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. (4) Watsco intends to use borrowings under its current revolving credit agreement to fund the acquisition of Baker's capital stock. (5) Represents pro forma income taxes at a blended statutory rate of 38.5%. 18

During the thirty (30) days immediately following the delivery of any Notice of Disagreement, Trek and Watsco shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to any matter specified in such Notice of Disagreement. At the end of such 30-day period, either Trek or Watsco may submit to a nationally recognized firm of independent certified accountants (the "SETTLEMENT ACCOUNTANTS") for review and resolution any and all matters which remain in dispute and which were included in any Notice of Disagreement, and the Settlement Accountants shall be instructed to resolve all matters which remain in dispute and, after resolving such matters that are in dispute and taking into account all matters which are not in dispute, calculate the Net Book Value of Baker as of the Closing Date. The Settlement Accountants shall be instructed to use reasonable efforts to perform its services within 15 Business Days of submission of the disputes, and in any case, as soon as practicable after such submission. The Closing Date Financial Statements and the Intercompany Adjustments Schedule, with such adjustments as necessary to reflect the Settlement Accountants' resolution of the matters in dispute, shall become final and binding on Watsco and Trek on the date the Settlement Accountants deliver their written resolution to the parties, absent manifest error.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" means all information furnished or made available to Watsco and its Affiliates and Representatives by Trek and its Affiliates and Representatives concerning Baker or ISI including, without limitation, customer and vendor information, financial statements, sales, sales volume, marketing strategy, business or financial plans or projections, and information concerning the identity, employees, facilities, operations, or ownership of Baker or ISI. Confidential 36 Information may be oral or in written, electronic or other form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information which is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Watsco or its Affiliates or Representatives does not for purposes of the Agreement constitute "Confidential Information". (b) From the date hereof until the Closing Date or, if the Closing does not occur, until July 21, 2002, without the prior written consent of Trek, Watsco shall not: (i) Disclose or divulge in any manner or to any Person any of the Confidential Information; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Confidential Information may be disclosed to Watsco's Representatives who have a need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the transactions and matters contemplated by this Agreement (it being understood that Purchaser shall advise such Representatives of the existence of this Agreement and obtain their agreement to be bound by the terms hereof and shall not disclose the Confidential Information to any other person); or (ii) copy or use Confidential Information for any purpose other than for purposes contemplated by this Agreement. Unless the Closing occurs (in which case, Trek shall no longer own any Confidential Information and all Confidential Information shall be the property of Baker), all Confidential Information shall remain the property of Baker or Trek, as the case may be. Until the Closing or, if the Closing does not occur, until July 21, 2002, Watsco shall keep a record in reasonable detail of the Confidential Information and of the location of all such Confidential Information. As soon as possible upon the written request of Baker or Trek or following the termination of this Agreement by Watsco or Trek, Watsco shall (and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to) return to Baker or Trek, as the case may be, all tangible Confidential Information and will destroy (or, at Watsco's option, return to Baker or Trek) all Confidential Information prepared by Watsco or any of its Affiliates or Representatives. Such destruction (or return) will be confirmed in writing to Baker and Trek. Any Confidential Information not so destroyed (or returned) shall remain subject to this Agreement. If, prior to Closing or, if the Closing does not occur, prior to July 22, 2002, Watsco or its Affiliates or Representatives are requested or become legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process), in the written opinion of Watsco's legal counsel, to disclose any Confidential Information, Watsco shall provide Baker and Trek with prompt notice of such request or requirement and the documents requested or required and cooperate with Baker and Trek so that Baker and Trek may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and consult with Baker and Trek as to the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or Baker or Trek waives compliance with the provisions of 37 this Agreement, Watsco shall furnish only that Confidential Information which is legally required and shall, prior to such disclosure, consult with Baker and Trek as to the nature and wording thereof. Watsco will also, at Trek's direction, exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information so disclosed. If Watsco or its Affiliates or Representatives shall breach or threaten to breach any of the provisions of this Section 6.1, Baker and Trek shall each immediately be entitled to injunctive relief without having to prove actual damages. It is specifically agreed that Baker or Trek may incur incalculable and irreparable damage from any such breach, and that neither Baker nor Trek would have adequate remedy at law and would be entitled to injunctive relief for any such actual or threatened breach. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting Baker or Trek from pursuing any other remedies available to either on account of any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 6.1 by Watsco or its Affiliates or Representatives, including recovery of money damages, and Watsco shall indemnify Baker and Trek and hold each harmless from and against any loss, damage, liability and expense, including attorney's fees, incurred by either Baker or Trek arising out of or relating to the breach of this Section 6.1 by Watsco or its Affiliates or Representatives or disclosure of Confidential Information by Watsco's Representatives unauthorized by Baker or Trek. Prior to Closing, Watsco hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the jurisdiction of both the courts of the state of Wisconsin and of the United Sates of America located in the State of Wisconsin for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Section 6.1 (and agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts), and further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to Watsco's address set forth in Section 11.1 shall be effective service of process for any action, suits or proceedings brought against Watsco in any such court. Prior to Closing, Watsco irrevocably and unconditionally: (a) waives any objection to the laying out of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Section 6.1, in either the courts of the State of Wisconsin or of the United States of America located in Wisconsin, and (b) waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any action, suit or proceeding bought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. (c) Watsco agrees that, unless the Closing occurs, neither it nor any of its Affiliates may at any time prior to June 22, 1998, seek to employ or employ any person (other than hourly or non-exempt employees) who is at any time during such period employed by Baker or Trek, or otherwise directly or indirectly induce any employee of Trek or Baker to leave his or her employment, without the consent of Trek or Baker. (d) Following the Closing, the terms and conditions of Sections 6.1(b) and 6.1(c) shall be void and of no force or effect. 38 SECTION 6.2 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party agrees to cooperate fully with the other parties hereto and to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered at all reasonable times and places such additional instruments and documents as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out this Agreement. SECTION 6.3 HSR FILINGS. The parties acknowledge that they have made all filings, reports and documents as may be necessary to comply with the HSR Act in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

Each of Trek and Watsco represent and warrant to the other that it is qualified to make such an election. Trek shall pay any Tax attributable to the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election and will indemnify Watsco, Baker and ISI against any Losses and Liabilities arising out of any failure to pay such Tax. Trek, with respect to the sale of the Shares and with respect to (i) those states or local jurisdictions whose laws adopt the provisions of the Code or whose laws provide for an election substantially similar to the election available under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code shall pay any state or local Tax and indemnify Watsco, Baker and ISI against any Losses and Liabilities arising out of any failure to pay Tax attributable to such election (or which results from the making of such election) and (ii) those states or local jurisdictions whose laws do not adopt the provisions of the Code and do not provide for an election substantially similar to the election available under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code, shall pay any State Section 338(h)(10) Proxy Tax and indemnify Watsco, Baker and ISI against any Losses and Liabilities arising out of any failure to pay such State Section 338(h)(10) Proxy Tax. As used herein, "STATE SECTION 338(H)(10) PROXY TAX" shall mean the lesser of (x) any state or local Tax attributable to an election or deemed election under state or local law substantially similar to an election available under Section 338(g) of the Code (or which results from the making of an election under Section 338(g) of the Code) with respect to the sale of the Shares, or (y) the actual amount of any state or local Tax imposed on Trek, Baker and ISI with respect to the sale of the Shares. 39 (b) ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE. Trek and Watsco agree that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of Baker and ISI (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to the assets of Baker for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting purposes) in a manner consistent with the fair market values of the assets. Within sixty (60) days of the date that the Purchase Price is finally determined in accordance with Article II, Watsco shall deliver to Trek, for its review and approval, a Schedule setting forth the allocation of the Purchase Price among the assets of Baker and ISI (the "ALLOCATION"). If Watsco and Trek are not able to agree to the Allocation within thirty (30) days, either of them may submit any unresolved matter related to the Allocation to the Settlement Accountants to resolve all unresolved matters related to the Allocation, and such resolution shall be binding on both parties. The fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountants shall be shared equally by Watsco and Trek. Trek and Watsco will file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation. (c) ELECTION TO FILE A CONSOLIDATED TAX RETURN. The Affiliated Group of which Trek is the parent will file a federal consolidated tax return within the meaning of Treasury Regulations ss.1.1502-75 for the taxable year in which the sale of the Shares occurs. (d) RETURNS AND INCLUSION OF INCOME FOR PERIODS THROUGH THE CLOSING DATE. Trek shall file the Tax Returns for and include the income of Trek, Baker and ISI, respectively, (including any deferred income triggered into income by Regulation Section 1.1502-13 and Regulation Section 1.1502-14 and any excess loss accounts taken into income under Regulation Section 1.1502-19) on Trek's federal consolidated Tax Returns and on all other Tax Returns for all periods through the Closing Date and pay any Taxes attributable to such income.

Any refunds in respect of such Tax Returns filed for all periods commencing on the Closing Date and ending thereafter shall be for the account of Watsco. With respect to any Tax period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (a "STRADDLE PERIOD"), for purposes of apportioning a Tax with respect to Baker and ISI, the portion of such Tax period that ends on the Closing Date shall be apportioned to Trek and the parties shall treat the Closing Date as the last day of such period; and the Tax for the Tax period that is allocated to that portion of the Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall be (i) in the case of a Tax that is based on income or gross receipts, the Tax that would be due with respect to the period ending on (and including) the Closing Date, based on actual operations of Baker and ISI during such period as shown on their books and records, and (ii) in the case of a Tax that is not based on income or gross receipts (E.G., real estate or franchise tax), the total Tax for the Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of 40 days in the Tax period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period.

Watsco shall furnish Tax information to Trek for inclusion in all Trek's Tax Returns for all periods which include the Closing Date. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, Watsco shall retain, and shall cause Baker and ISI to retain, and Trek shall retain, until the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions) have expired, copies of all Tax Returns, supporting work schedules, and other records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Returns for all tax periods or portions thereof ending before or including the Closing Date and shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any such records without first providing the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and copy same at the cost of such other party. Watsco shall give Trek prompt notice of any audit or similar investigation or proceeding in which the IRS or any other Governmental Authority makes or proposes to make, or in which Watsco has reason to believe that the IRS or any other Governmental Authority will make, or proposes to make, a Tax adjustment affecting the liability of Taxes of Trek, Baker, ISI or any Affiliate of Trek with respect to a pre-Closing tax period. If such Tax adjustment or the manner in which it is to be settled or compromised relates solely to or solely affects the liability for Taxes or any item or income, deduction, credit, basis, tax accounting method, gain, or loss ("TAX ATTRIBUTES") of Trek, Baker or ISI for any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, Trek shall conduct and control all aspects of the Audit, including the settlement or compromise thereof. Furthermore, in the event any such Tax adjustment with respect to Trek, Baker or ISI results in a refund of Taxes to Watsco, Baker, ISI or any of their Affiliates with respect to any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or in the event Watsco, Baker or ISI or any of their Affiliates receives a refund of Taxes with respect to any Tax Attribute of Trek, Baker or ISI for any such period, the amount of such refund shall be paid within five days to Trek by Watsco or an Affiliate of Watsco upon receipt of such refund by Watsco, Baker or ISI or any of their Affiliates.

For those jurisdictions in which separate Tax Returns are filed by Baker or ISI, any required amended returns resulting from such examination adjustments, as finally determined, shall be prepared by Trek and furnished to Watsco, or its successor, for approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), signature and filing at least 30 days prior to the due date for filing such returns. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Trek to amend any Tax Return, other than as set forth above. 41 (g) ORDINARY CONDUCT. On the Closing Date, Watsco shall cause Baker and ISI to conduct its businesses in the ordinary course in substantially the same manner as presently conducted and on the Closing Date shall not permit Baker and ISI to effect any extraordinary transactions on the Closing Date (other than any such transactions expressly required by applicable law or expressly permitted by this Agreement) that could result in Tax Liability to Baker or ISI for periods on or before the Closing Date in excess of Tax Liability associated with the conduct of its business in the Ordinary Course of Business.

SECTION 6.5 REASONABLE EFFORTS TO CLOSE. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, which are necessary, proper or advisable to cause any other party's conditions set forth in Articles VII and VIII to be fully satisfied (but not waived), including, but not limited to, in the case of Trek, making commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consents listed on SCHEDULE 3.11(B)(2), and (b) consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consents and approvals referred to in Sections 7.7 and 8.6.

The party requesting such cooperation shall pay the out-of-pocket expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of the party providing such cooperation and of its employees and agents reasonably incurred in connection with providing such cooperation, but shall not be responsible to reimburse the party providing such cooperation for the salaries or costs of fringe benefits or other similar expenses paid by the party providing such cooperation to its employees and agents while assisting in the defense or prosecution of any such litigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.6 shall not apply to any litigation which is the subject of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Article IX hereof. 42 SECTION 6.7 INTRA-ENTITY OBLIGATIONS. Effective as of the Closing and after taking into account the dividend described in Section 2.3(d), all amounts due and owing by Trek to Baker or to ISI, and all monies owing by Baker or ISI to Trek (other than amounts owing under this Agreement or the Related Agreements and the matters contemplated by Article II), will be forgiven and canceled without any further action by Trek or by Watsco, Baker or ISI.

Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, Trek shall indemnify and hold harmless Watsco and its Affiliates from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by Watsco and its Affiliates after the Closing as a result of or arising out of: (a) (i) The falsity or incorrectness of or breach of any representation or warranty of Trek or any of its Affiliates in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or in any schedule, certificate or agreement furnished to Watsco by or on behalf of Trek or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the matters described on SCHEDULE 9.2(A)(II); or (b) the failure by Trek or any of its Affiliates to perform any covenant or agreement of Trek or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement, any Related Agreement or under any schedule, certificate or agreement furnished to Watsco by or on behalf of Trek or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 9.4 METHOD OF ASSERTING CLAIMS. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under this Article IX shall be asserted and resolved as follows: (a) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. If any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under this Article IX is asserted against such Indemnified Party by a Person (a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM") other than Trek or Watsco (it being understood that claims of Affiliates of Trek and Watsco shall not be considered Third Party Claims), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice and the details thereof including copies of all relevant pleadings, documents and information and (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim (collectively a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM NOTICE") to the Indemnifying Party within a period of thirty (30) days following the assertion of the Third Party Claim against the Indemnified Party (the "THIRD PARTY CLAIM NOTICE PERIOD"), PROVIDED, that a Third Party Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given as promptly as practicable after the action or suit is commenced. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Third Party Claim Notice within the Third Party Claim Notice Period, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend has been prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party within a period of thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice by the Indemnifying Party (the "THIRD PARTY CLAIM RESPONSE PERIOD"): (i) Whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX with respect to such Third Party Claim; and (ii) whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Third Party Claim Response Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense shall defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted to a final conclusion or, at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party, will be paid, compromised, or settled (with the consent of the Indemnified Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnified Party will cooperate in such defense at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party and shall furnish records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, 47 trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith. The Indemnified Party may, at its sole cost and expense, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party's delivery of the notice referred to in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, file any pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests. The Indemnified Party, at its expense, may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim conducted by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.4(a). If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Third Party Claim Response Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party Claim or if the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in a reasonable manner and in good faith and will not be paid, compromised or settled (without the consent of the Indemnifying Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall, at its sole cost and expense, cooperate in such defense and shall furnish records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if the Indemnifying Party is determined not to be liable for such Third Party Claim pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 9.4(a) and Section 9.4(c), the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party's defense or the Indemnifying Party's participation therein pursuant to this paragraph, and the Indemnified Party will reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such defense. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under this Article IX or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Third Party Claim Response Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the actual Losses of the Indemnified Party as finally determined will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article IX, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Losses to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Third Party Claim Response Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, either party may require that such dispute be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 9.4(c) hereof. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.4(a) to the contrary, with respect to the matters subject to indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(ii), (i) no Third Party Claims Notice need be given by Watsco, and (ii) Watsco shall control the negotiations and any 48 defense of such matters in a reasonable manner and in good faith, and shall not pay, compromise or settle any such matter without the prior written consent of Trek (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), it being understood that costs and expenses incurred by Watsco related to such matters shall be Losses for which Watsco shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(ii), subject to Section 9.6. (b) OTHER CLAIMS. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under this Article IX against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim or a claim under Article II for a purchase price adjustment (which Article contains its own applicable dispute resolution mechanism), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice and the details thereof, including copies of all relevant information and documents and (if then known) the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (collectively, an "INDEMNITY NOTICE"), to the Indemnifying Party within a period of thirty (30) days following the discovery of the claim by the Indemnified Party (the "CLAIM NOTICE PERIOD") and shall furnish records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith. The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice within the Claim Notice Period shall not impair the Indemnified Party's rights hereunder except to the extent that an Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnity Notice by the Indemnifying Party (the "INDEMNITY RESPONSE PERIOD") whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX with respect to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Indemnity Response Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the actual Losses as finally determined will be conclusively deemed to be a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article IX and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Losses to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Indemnity Response Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, either party may require that such dispute be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 9.4(c) hereof. (c) RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES. Any dispute to be submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall be finally and conclusively determined in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "RULES OF ARBITRATION") then in effect by the decision of one (1) arbitrator (the "BOARD OF ARBITRATION") selected in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration. The Arbitration shall be held in Coconut Grove, Florida and the arbitrator shall render its decision in writing with respect to and stating the amount, if any, which the Indemnifying Party is required to pay to the Indemnified Party in respect of the claim made by the Indemnified Party. To the extent practical, the decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered no more than thirty (30) days following commencement of proceedings with respect thereto. The arbitrator 49 shall cause its written decision to be delivered to the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. Any decision made by the arbitrator (either prior to or after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period) shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and entitled to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law and entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Trek and Watsco each hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the foregoing arbitrator and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any local, state or federal court located in the State of Florida for the purpose of enforcing the decision or award of the arbitrator or otherwise. Trek and Watsco agree that all service of process may be made on any such party by personal delivery or by registered or certified mail addressed to the appropriate party at the address for such party set forth in Section 11.1 hereof. All fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in relation to the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees shall be paid by such parties as determined by the arbitrator. Each and every arbitration proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 9.4(c) shall be consolidated with any arbitration proceeding simultaneously or previously commenced under this Section 9.4(c). SECTION 9.5 CONTINUED LIABILITY FOR INDEMNITY CLAIMS. The liability of any Indemnifying Party hereunder with respect to claims hereunder shall continue for so long as any claims for indemnification may be made hereunder pursuant to Section 9.7 hereof and, with respect to any such indemnification claims duly and timely made, thereafter until the Indemnifying Party's liability therefor is finally determined and satisfied. SECTION 9.6 LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION. (a) CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for special or consequential damages, other than those sought to be recovered against an Indemnified Party in a Third Party Claim. (b) THRESHOLD AMOUNT.

There shall be no such limitation for any indemnification payments with respect to Section 3.7, Section 3.19 (only to the extent it relates to a defined contribution plan), representations and warranties regarding matters of title to the Shares in Section 2.4(a), Section 5.3, Section 5.4, Section 5.5, Section 6.4, Aritcle II or the Noncompetition Agreement. (d) LOSSES NET OF TAXES AND INSURANCE. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be (i) increased to take account of any net Tax Cost incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (grossed up for any Tax incurred on such increase) and (ii) reduced to take account of any proceeds of insurance received by the Indemnified Party and of any net Tax Benefit realized or realizable by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss. In computing the amount of any such Tax Cost or Tax Benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have recognized all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified claim. (e) ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent that Watsco has or gains knowledge prior to the Closing Date of any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article III hereof other than from Trek or Baker, Watsco shall promptly notify Trek of such breach, and in the event Watsco does not so notify Trek, the amount of Losses incurred in connection with or arising from such breach shall be reduced by the amount of Losses, if any, that could reasonably have been prevented by Trek if it had received prompt notice of such breach. For purposes of this Section 9.6, the knowledge of Watsco shall mean the actual knowledge of executive officers of Watsco. (f) ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS REGARDING 9.2(A)(II).

SECTION 9.7 TIME LIMITS ON CLAIMS. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a claim by any Indemnified Party under Section 9.2(a)(i), 9.2(b) or 9.3 may be made only prior to May 1, 1998 with the exception of (a) Sections 3.7 and 3.19 (only with respect to a defined contribution plan) with respect to which such representations and warranties shall survive and claims thereon may be made until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation; (b) Section 3.22 with respect to which such representations and warranties shall survive and claims thereon may be made for 51 three (3) years following the Closing Date; and (c) representations and warranties regarding matters of title to the Shares included Section 3.4(a) of this Agreement with respect to which such representations and warranties shall survive and claims thereon may be made without any limitation as to time.

SECTION 9.8 REMEDIES.

SECTION 9.9 SOURCES OF PAYMENT.

The foregoing right is in addition to any other rights that the parties may have for indemnification. ARTICLE X TERMINATION SECTION 10.1 GROUNDS FOR TERMINATION. This Agreement may, by written notice given prior to or at the Closing, be terminated: (a) By either Watsco or Trek if a material breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by the other party and such breach has not been waived or has not been cured within ten (10) Business Days of the date such notice was given; (b)(i) by Watsco if any of the conditions in Article VII have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Watsco to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and Watsco has not waived such condition in writing on or before the Closing Date; or 52 (ii) by Trek, if any of the conditions in Article VIII have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Trek to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and Trek has not waived such a condition in writing on or before the Closing Date; (c) by mutual consent of Watsco and Trek; or (d) by either Watsco or Trek if the Closing has not occurred (other than through the failure of any party seeking to terminate this Agreement to comply fully with its obligations under this Agreement) on or before December 31, 1997, or such later date as the parties may agree upon. SECTION 10.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Each party's right of termination under Section 10.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies.
