REDACTED PUBLIC VERSION. FILED ON JUNE 1, 2016.

Exhibit A

LIMITED GUARANTEE
This Limited Guarantee (this Guarantee) is made as of September 2, 2014, by Genstar
Capital Partners VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the Guarantor), in favor of
Construction Software Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (CST), BidClerk, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (BC and, together with CST, the Sellers), Fortis Advisors LLC, as
CST Stockholder Representative (CST Stockholder Representative) and Archibald Cox, Jr., as
BC Stockholder Representative (BC Stockholder Representative and, together with CST
Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representatives).
The Sellers and the
Stockholder Representatives are referred to herein collectively as the Seller Parties).
WHEREAS, reference is made herein to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of the date hereof (the Agreement), by and among Blueprint Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (Parent), BC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Merger Sub BC), CST
Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Merger Sub CST, and together with Parent and
Merger Sub BC, the Genstar Entities) and the Seller Parties. Capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to the Seller Parties to enter into the
Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged by the parties, the Guarantor undertakes and agrees for the benefit of
the Seller Parties as follows:
1.
The Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the
due and punctual payment, observance, performance and discharge when due of all debts,
liabilities and other obligations of any kind, nature and description of the Genstar Entities to any
of the Seller Parties pursuant to the Agreement (the Obligations). Notwithstanding any of the
terms or conditions of this Guarantee, Guarantor shall not have any obligation or liability to any
Person relating to, arising out of or in connection with the Agreement, this Guarantee, or any of
the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby, or any other agreement or instrument
contemplated thereby or hereby, other than as expressly set forth herein. Guarantor shall make
prompt payment (in any event, no later than five (5) business days after written demand by the
Seller Parties therefor) to the Seller Parties of the amount of any Obligation if and when due
under the Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Guarantor acknowledges that this
Guarantee is one of payment, not collection, and that the Seller Parties may, in their sole
discretion, bring and prosecute a separate action or actions against the Guarantor for the full
amount of the Obligation, regardless of whether action is brought against the Genstar Entities or
whether any of the Genstar Entities or any other Person is joined in any such action or actions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Guarantor shall have the right to
assert any defenses which the Genstar Entities may have under the Agreement or otherwise with
respect to the payment or performance of any of the Obligations the Seller Parties demand be
paid or performed by Guarantor.
2.

Guarantor represents and warrants to the Seller Parties that:

(a)
Guarantor is a limited partnership, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite power and authority necessary to

3119961

REDACTED PUBLIC VERSION. FILED ON JUNE 1, 2016.

execute and deliver this Guarantee, and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution,
delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guarantee have been approved by the requisite
limited partnership action, and no other action on the part of Guarantor is necessary to authorize
the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guarantee.
(b)
This Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor and,
assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of this Guarantee by the Seller Parties,
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and similar Legal Requirements now or hereafter in effect relating to
or affecting creditors rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity. Neither
the execution and delivery of this Guarantee by Guarantor, nor performance by Guarantor of its
obligations pursuant to the Guarantee, will (x) conflict with or violate any provision of the
Organizational Documents of Guarantor, (y) violate any Legal Requirement applicable to
Guarantor, or (z) violate or constitute a material default under any of the terms, conditions or
provisions of any Contract to which Guarantor is a party.
(c)
Guarantor has and shall have when required pursuant to this Guarantee, the
financial capacity to pay and perform its obligations under this Guarantee (including payment of
the Obligations), and all funds necessary to fulfill those obligations (including payment of the
Obligations) shall be available to Guarantor for as long as this Guarantee remains in effect.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor has uncalled capital commitments
equal to or greater than the amount of the Obligations and the enforceable right to call such
capital to fund commitments under this Guarantee.
3.
Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged,
in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (a) the failure or delay on the part of the Seller
Parties to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Genstar
Entities or Guarantor; (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of the Obligations,
or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any
of the terms or provisions of the Agreement made in accordance with the terms thereof or any
agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations; (c) the
addition, substitution or release of any entity or other Person now or hereafter liable with respect
to the Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement; (d)
any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any of the Genstar Entities or
any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Obligations or otherwise interested in
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement; (e) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization
or other similar proceeding affecting any of the Genstar Entities or any other Person now or
hereafter liable with respect to the Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement; (f) the adequacy of any other means the Seller Parties may have
of obtaining payment or performance related to the Obligations; or (g) any discharge of
Guarantor as a matter of applicable Legal Requirements (other than the discharge of Guarantor
with respect to the Obligations as a result of payment or performance of the Obligations in
accordance with their terms).
4.
To the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements, Guarantor hereby
expressly waives: (i) any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any Legal Requirement

3119961

REDACTED PUBLIC VERSION. FILED ON JUNE 1, 2016.

which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Seller Parties; (ii) promptness,
diligence, grace, notice of the acceptance of this Guarantee and of the Obligations, presentment,
demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of the
Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by
virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium Legal Requirement or other similar Legal Requirement
now or hereafter in effect or any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Genstar Entities
or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Obligations or otherwise
interested in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement; (iii) all suretyship defenses
generally; and (iv) any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of the
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Seller Parties upon this Guarantee or
acceptance of this Guarantee. The Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been
created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the
Genstar Entities or Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Seller Parties, on the other hand, shall
likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this
Guarantee. Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits
from the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this
Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
5.
No failure on the part of the Seller Parties to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise by the Seller Parties of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other
or future exercise of any right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power
hereby granted to the Seller Parties or allowed it by Legal Requirement or other agreement
(including the Agreement) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other and may be
exercised by the Seller Parties at any time or from time to time. When pursuing its rights and
remedies hereunder against Guarantor, the Seller Parties shall be under no obligation to pursue
such rights and remedies it may have against the Genstar Entities or any other Person for the
Obligations, and any failure by the Seller Parties to pursue such other rights or remedies or to
collect any payments from the Genstar Entities shall not relieve Guarantor of any liability
hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or
available as a matter of law, of the Seller Parties.
6.
This Guarantee is a continuing Guarantee and shall be binding upon Guarantor
until the complete and indefeasible payment, performance and satisfaction in full of the
Obligations, in the event the Obligations arise pursuant to the Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Guarantee shall terminate and Guarantor shall have no further obligations under
this Guarantee (i) as of the termination of the Agreement in accordance with Article 11 thereof
under circumstances in which no Obligations are payable or (ii) following the termination of the
Agreement in accordance with Article 11 thereof, if Obligations are payable as of such
termination, at such time as such Obligations are no longer payable.
7.
Each party hereto hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it (i) shall
not institute, and shall cause its affiliates not to institute, any Claim asserting that this Guarantee
is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms and (ii) will comply in all
respects with all applicable Legal Requirements and orders to which it may be subject if failure
to so comply would impair its ability to perform its obligations under this Guarantee.

3119961

REDACTED PUBLIC VERSION. FILED ON JUNE 1, 2016.

8.
Guarantor hereby agrees that the Obligations shall not be deemed to have been
released, dismissed, impaired, reduced, discharged, paid, observed or performed or affected as
the result of the bankruptcy, insolvency, disability, dissolution, termination, receivership,
reorganization or lack of corporate or other power of Parent, and Guarantors liability in respect
thereof shall continue and not be discharged, including the case where any payment or
performance thereof by Parent is recovered from or paid over by or on behalf of the Seller
Parties by reason of a fraudulent transfer by Parent, or as a preference in any bankruptcy of
Parent. The Seller Parties shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations in
the event that Parent becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and
the failure of the Seller Parties to so file shall not affect Guarantors obligations hereunder. In
the event that any payment to the Seller Parties in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with
respect to the Obligations as if such payment had not been made.
9.
No waiver, modification or amendment of any provisions of this Guarantee shall
be effective except pursuant to a written agreement signed by the Seller Parties and Guarantor,
and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for
which given. This Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors-ininterest and permitted assigns of each party hereto. No rights or obligations hereunder shall be

written consent of the Seller Parties or Guarantor, as the case may be.

This Guarantee may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other
electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
11.
This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable
principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Any Claim seeking to enforce any provision of, or based
on any matter arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee shall be governed by Section
14.10 of the Agreement. The limitations contained in Section 12.4(h) of the Agreement shall
apply to any Claim hereunder. This Section 11 shall survive termination of this Guarantee.
12.
Guarantor agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by the Seller Parties in connection with the
enforcement of their rights hereunder if (i) (A) Guarantor asserts in any Claim that this
Guarantee is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms and (B) the Seller
Parties prevail in such Claim or (ii) Guarantor fails or refuses to make any payment to the Seller
Parties hereunder when due and payable or perform any obligation hereunder when required to
be performed, and it is judicially determined that Guarantor is required to make the payment or
perform the obligation hereunder.
