This ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of December 13, 2021 by and among ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Farms Retail, Inc., a California corporation (“Buyer”), and Landec Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Landec”), and Curation Foods, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Curation” and, together with Landec, collectively, “Sellers” and each, a “Seller”).

WHEREAS, Sellers, directly and indirectly through their Affiliates, operate the Business;

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase specified assets related to the Business, and to assume specified Liabilities related to the Business; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer and/or certain of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Sellers and/or certain of their Affiliates, on the other hand, shall enter into, execute and deliver the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the ▇▇▇▇ of Sale, the Assignment of Intellectual Property, the Deeds, the Transition Services Agreement and the Assignments of Leases.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations and warranties, and mutual covenants contained herein and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(xi) all goodwill exclusively associated with the Business or the assets described in Section 1.01(a)(i) through (x) from and after the Closing Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 1.01(a), in no event shall Buyer purchase from Sellers, and in no event shall Sellers sell, convey, assign, transfer, and deliver to Buyer, any of the assets of Sellers other than Purchased Assets (the “Excluded Assets”), all of which are excluded from the Purchased Assets.

(ii) Liabilities for Transaction Expenses;

(iii) Liabilities to the extent arising out of any of the Excluded Assets (other than Liabilities expressly assumed pursuant to Section 1.01(c)(i)-(iv));

(iv) Liabilities (other than Liabilities assumed by Buyer under Section 1.01(c)(ii)) relating to any products or services processed, sold or delivered by Sellers at or prior to the Closing (including the Purchased Inventory solely to the extent relating to the processing, sale or delivery to Buyer), including Liabilities for product liability, warranty, or other claims by any third party, including Liabilities arising from the presence in such products or Purchased Inventory at or prior to the Closing of contaminants that cause food-borne illness;

(v) Liabilities pursuant to any Laws of any Governmental Entity relating to (A) releases or threatened releases of any hazardous substances or other materials; (B) the manufacture, handling, transport, use, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous substances or other materials; or (C) pollution or protection of the environment, health, safety or natural resources, in each case, to the extent arising from or related to any action, event, circumstance or condition occurring or existing prior to the Closing;

(vi) Except as set forth in Section 4.10, Liabilities to, in respect of or relating to (A) any present or former employees of Sellers, and/or the employment or service of any individual with respect to (i) any employee or other service provider of the Sellers who does not become a Transferred Employee (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof) and (ii) any Transferred Employee, to the extent arising on or prior to the applicable Transfer Date, (B) any Employee Benefit Plan, (C) Sellers’ status as an ERISA Affiliate of any other entity and (D) wages, remuneration, compensation, benefits, severance or other accrued obligations (i) associated with any Business Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof) and (ii) with respect to any Transferred Employee, arising on or prior to the applicable Transfer Date;

(ix) Liabilities arising from or related to any compliance or noncompliance upon or prior to the Closing with any Law applicable to any Seller, the Business or the Purchased Assets;

(x) Liabilities arising from or related to any Action (A) against any Seller, the Business or the Purchased Assets pending as of the Closing or (B) based upon any action, event, circumstance or condition arising from or prior to the Closing (other than in the case of this clause (B) Liabilities expressly assumed pursuant to Section 1.01(c)(i)-(iv)); and

(xi) Liabilities of any Seller set forth on Section 1.01(d)(xi) of the Disclosure Letter.

(e) To the extent that the assignment by a Seller to Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof of any Purchased Asset is not permitted without the consent of another Person or Persons or would otherwise constitute a breach or other contravention under any Contract or Law to which such Seller is a party or by which it is bound, or in any way adversely affects rights of such Seller or, upon transfer, Buyer with respect to such Purchased Asset, this Agreement and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment of any such Purchased Asset if such consent is not obtained, and such asset (a “Contingent Asset”) shall only become a Purchased Asset (and, if applicable, a Purchased Contract) if and when such consent is obtained. Sellers and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts from the date of this Agreement through the date that is forty (40) days after the Closing Date to (x) obtain any consents or waivers required to assign to Buyer any Contingent Asset, without any conditions to such transfer (including the making of any payments) or changes or modifications of terms thereunder and (y) to obtain the agreement of the other party to each Contract identified in Section 1.01(e) of the Disclosure Letter to, as applicable, amend such Contract or to terminate such Contract, if not previously terminated or expired, and enter into a new Contract between such other party and Buyer, in either case, on such terms as are acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer and Sellers agree that neither Buyer nor Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any Liability to the other arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent or agreement to amend or terminate that may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents or because of any circumstances resulting therefrom, provided that (i) Buyer and Sellers have complied with their obligations under this Section 1.01(e) and (ii) such consent is identified as a required consent in Section 2.04(b) of the Disclosure Letter. If any such consent is not obtained prior to Closing with respect to any such Contingent Asset, the applicable Seller and Buyer will promptly enter into arrangements under which Buyer shall obtain all of the benefits of such Contingent Asset and satisfy all of the obligations and Liabilities thereunder arising after the Closing to the same extent as Buyer would be subject to such obligations and Liabilities if such consent had been obtained and such Contingent Asset had been assigned to Buyer at the Closing, in each case, to the fullest extent legally possible. To the extent that Buyer obtains the benefits of such Contingent Asset, Buyer shall, from and after the Closing, as agent or subcontractor for Sellers, pay, perform and discharge the obligations and Liabilities of Sellers thereunder that Buyer would have assumed under Section 1.01(c) of this Agreement if Seller had obtained such consent prior to the Closing. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, Sellers shall hold in trust for and pay to Buyer

promptly (but in any event not later than three (3) Business Days) after receipt thereof, such Contingent Asset and all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller to the extent related to such Contingent Asset in connection with the arrangements under this Section 1.01(e). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall require Buyer or any Seller or its Affiliates to pay any fee or other payment, or incur any additional Liability or expense in connection with the efforts set forth in this Section 1.01(e).

(f) If at any time after the Closing (a) Buyer or its designee holds any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities or (b) either Seller or any of its Affiliates holds any Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities, Buyer or the applicable Seller will promptly transfer (or cause to be transferred) such assets or assume (or cause to be assumed) such Liabilities to or from (as the case may be) the other Party, without further consideration from the other Party. Prior to any such transfer, the Party receiving or possessing any such asset will hold it in trust for such other Party.

(g) Buyer shall be solely responsible for procuring insurance to protect the Purchased Assets against any risk of loss or damage after the Closing, if it so desires such insurance. Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that as of the Closing Date, all of the Purchased Equipment and tangible Purchased Inventory (other than (i) Purchased Inventory that constitutes crops in ground or harvested raw material ingredients in transit in the ordinary course of business to Sellers’ facilities in Guadalupe, California or Bowling Green, Ohio, (ii) Purchased Equipment that is not located in Sellers’ facilities in Guadalupe, California or Bowling Green, Ohio will be located at the location set forth in Section 1.01(a)(iv) of the Disclosure Letter or (iii) Purchased Inventory that is normally stored at the raw material supplier’s or distributor’s location (as set forth in Section 1.01(a)(i) of the Disclosure Letter)), in each case in the ordinary course of business, will be located at Sellers’ facilities in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, California and Bowling Green, Ohio, as applicable. To the extent that the location of any asset listed in Section 1.01(a)(iv) of the Disclosure Letter is not set forth specifically in such Section, Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the specific location of such asset within ten (10) days after the date hereof. With respect to any such Purchased Inventory that includes raw material ingredients, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve such ingredients and arrange for delivery of such ingredients to Buyer as promptly as practicable after the Closing, subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement.

1.02 Purchase Price.

(a) The consideration to be paid by Buyer on the Closing Date for its purchase of the Purchased Assets from Sellers shall be (i) the Closing Cash Purchase Price and (ii) Buyer’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (collectively, the “Purchase Price”).

(b) The “Closing Cash Purchase Price” shall mean an amount equal to $73,500,000.00. The Closing Cash Purchase Price shall be subject to the post-closing adjustment provisions of Section 1.03 and shall be allocated as described in Section 1.04.

1.03 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) The parties acknowledge that immediately prior to the Closing Date, Sellers and Buyer have jointly conducted a physical inventory of all Purchased Inventory and have jointly prepared a statement of the quantity of each category of Purchased Inventory set forth in Section 1.01(a)(i) of the Disclosure Letter. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Inventory Amount” shall mean the physical count of the Purchased Inventory, as agreed to by Sellers and Buyer and set forth in such statement. Such Inventory Amount shall be used in the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date (and no later than sixty (60) days thereafter), Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a statement (the “Closing Net Working Capital Statement”) reflecting the Net Working Capital of the Business as of the Closing Date immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Net Working Capital”) determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on a basis consistent with the preparation of the statement of Net Working Capital set forth in Section 2.12(b) of the Disclosure Letter and without giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby. If Sellers disagree with any of the information set forth in the Closing Net Working Capital Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.03(b), Sellers may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Net Working Capital Statement, deliver a written notice to Buyer (a “Statement Dispute Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail each item or amount (including such items or amounts on the Closing Net Working Capital Statement impacted thereby) that Sellers dispute (the “Disputed Items”), the amount in dispute for each Disputed Item and the reasons supporting Sellers’ positions. If Sellers fail to deliver a Statement Dispute Notice within such thirty (30)-day period, Buyer’s calculation will be deemed the Closing Net Working Capital and shall be final, binding on the parties and conclusive. If a Statement Dispute Notice is duly delivered pursuant to this Section 1.03(b), Buyer and Sellers will, during the twenty (20) Business Days following such delivery (the “Resolution Period”), negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items. If Buyer and Sellers are able to reach an agreement as to the resolution of such Disputed Items, Buyer and Sellers will promptly revise the Closing Net Working Capital Statement to reflect such agreement and such agreement will then be deemed the Closing Net Working Capital Statement. If the parties are unable to reach agreement with respect to any of the Disputed Items by the end of the Resolution Period, Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, shall each submit, within ten (10) Business Days of expiration of the Resolution Period, their respective determinations and calculations of any remaining unresolved Disputed Items in a written statement (each a “Final Calculation Statement”) to an independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Sellers and Buyer during such ten (10) Business Day period (the “Independent Accountant”). The Independent Accountant shall make a determination with respect to such Final Calculation Statements within thirty (30) days after such submissions are made, which determination shall be made in accordance with this Section 1.03. The Independent Accountant shall review only those Disputed Items and the amounts in dispute for each Disputed Item specifically set forth and objected to in the Final Calculation Statements, and will resolve each Disputed Item by adopting, in its entirety, a Final Calculation Statement submitted to it in accordance with this Section 1.03(b) with respect to each such Disputed Item. Such determination shall (absent fraud or manifest error) be final, binding on the parties and conclusive, and the Closing Net Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such changes determined by the Independent Accountant, including the Closing Net Working Capital. Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, shall each pay one-half of all the costs incurred by the parties in connection with their engagement of the Independent Accountant for the purposes contemplated by this Section 1.03(b).

(c) If the Closing Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.03(a), is greater than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, then Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days after such final determination, pay to Sellers as a post-closing adjustment to the Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with written instructions given by Sellers to Buyer, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount by which the Closing Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Target Net Working Capital or (ii) $7,500,000. If the Closing Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.03(a), is less than the Target Net Working Capital, then Sellers shall, within five (5) Business Days after such final determination, pay to Buyer as a post-closing adjustment to the Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with written instructions given by Buyer to Sellers, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount by which the Target Net Working Capital exceeds the Closing Net Working Capital or (ii) $15,000,000.

1.04 Purchase Price Allocation. The Purchase Price (plus any liabilities, to the extent properly taken into account as purchase price for income tax purposes) shall be allocated between the Purchased Assets sold by Landec and the Purchased Assets sold by Curation, and the amount of the Purchase Price so allocated to each Seller shall be further allocated among the Purchased Assets sold by such Seller and the covenant not to compete contained in Section 4.08 of this Agreement in accordance with the allocation principles provided in Section 1.04 of the Disclosure Letter, which the parties agree is consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, Buyer shall prepare an initial allocation in such a manner and provide such allocation to Landec, and such allocation shall be subject to review and comment by Landec. The parties shall work together in good faith to resolve any differences and agree on a final allocation (the “Final Allocation”), provided that regardless of whether the parties are able to agree on the Final Allocation, the allocation proposed by Buyer shall be used for purposes of this Agreement (including in computing Transfer Taxes payable pursuant to Section 4.02(c)) so long as such allocation is consistent with Section 1.04 of the Disclosure Letter. Any dispute as to whether an allocation is consistent with Section 1.04 of the Disclosure Letter shall be resolved promptly by an Independent Accountant (selected pursuant to the process set forth in Section 1.03(b)), the costs of which shall be split equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand.

4.02 Tax Matters.

(a) The parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate with one another in the preparation of all Tax Returns, questionnaires, applications and other similar documents related to Taxes of or with respect to the Business or the Purchased Assets and in connection with any Tax audit or other Tax proceeding relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets, including making reasonably available to the other party all applicable information, records, and documents in their respective possession or under their respective control. The parties hereto shall retain records, documents, accounting data and other information in whatever form reasonably necessary for the preparation and filing, or for any Tax audit, of any Tax Returns with respect to the Purchased Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period for the duration of the applicable statute of limitations period (determined without regard to any waiver thereof). All reasonable out-of-pocket costs (other than overhead allocations) incurred to provide material to a requesting party shall be borne by the requesting party; provided that the party providing such material shall inform the requesting party of the approximate amount of cost prior to incurring same.

(b) To the extent not otherwise provided in this Agreement, Sellers shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay when due all Property Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased Assets attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay when due all Property Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased Assets attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Period. All Property Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for the Straddle Period shall be apportioned between Buyer and Sellers based on the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the Post-Closing Tax Period. Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Upon receipt of any ▇▇▇▇ for such Property Taxes, Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, shall present a statement to the other party setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 4.02(b) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other party within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of such statement. In the event that Buyer or any Seller makes any payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 4.02(b), the applicable party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than ten (10) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement.

(c) Without limitation on Buyer’s rights under Article V, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, and other similar Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges, and other fees and charges (including any related fees and penalties) incurred as a result of the sale of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities pursuant to this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Sellers; provided, however, that all Transfer Taxes resulting from the sale of personal property shall be borne as follows: (i) the first $1,000,000 shall be borne by Sellers and (ii) any amount of such Transfer Taxes in excess of $1,000,000 shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Sellers.

In the case of any California or Ohio Tax Return due fewer than twenty (20) days after the Closing Date, the deadlines in the prior sentence shall be reduced proportionately with respect to the number of days after Closing that such Tax Return is due. Buyer shall pay such Transfer Taxes to the applicable Governmental Entity (or shall pay such amounts to Sellers for payment to the applicable Governmental Entity) at least two (2) days prior to when due. Buyer shall prepare all applicable Tax Returns reflecting the Transfer Taxes other than California and Ohio sales Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation and shall timely pay such Transfer Taxes to the applicable tax authority when due. Buyer shall promptly make such Tax Returns available for review by Sellers and make any commercially reasonable changes to such Tax Returns requested by Sellers. The parties further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person (including Sellers) as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes.

4.03 Public Announcements. The parties shall jointly prepare and issue immediately after the Closing a press release announcing the Closing. Each party hereby agrees to thereafter give each other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby (each, a “Public Release”). Each party also hereby agrees to consider, in good faith, any comments regarding any Public Release provided by the other party.

4.04 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Sellers shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by Sellers in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall pay for the cost of ALTA standard policies of title insurance for all of the Owned Property in the amount of the applicable real property allocation, and Buyer shall pay for the incremental cost of extended coverage and any endorsements it may desire (to the extent available).

4.05 Seller Trademarks.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that (i) as between each Seller and Buyer, such Seller or its Subsidiaries exclusively owns all respective Trademarks, brands, company names, fictitious names, domain names, and other indicia of source or origin used in connection with the Business, including those set forth in Section 4.05(a) of the Disclosure Letter but excluding the Business Intellectual Property after the Closing and any Third Party private labels (collectively, the “Seller Trademarks”), and all variations or acronyms of any of the Seller Trademarks, and all registrations and applications for registration thereof, and all related goodwill, and (ii) Buyer and its Affiliates have no rights, and are not acquiring any rights, to use the Seller Trademarks after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer (and Buyer’s customers) may sell in the

ordinary course of business for up to one year after the Closing any Purchased Inventory that may bear any such Trademarks, brands, company names, fictitious names, domain names or other indicia of source or origin.

(b) Buyer and its Affiliates shall not, and shall not authorize or request any other Person to use any Seller Trademark in any manner; provided, however, that Buyer (and Buyer’s customers) may sell in the ordinary course of business for up to one year after the Closing any Purchased Inventory that may bear any such Seller Trademark. Buyer acknowledges that a breach of this Section 4.05 will cause Sellers and their Affiliates irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and Buyer therefore agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 4.05, Sellers shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that it may have, to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and final injunctive relief against Buyer or such Affiliate of Buyer to prevent any continuing breaches of this Section 4.05, without posting any type of bond or other security as a condition for seeking such relief.

4.06 Insurance. As of the Closing Date, the coverage under any insurance policies related to the Business or the Purchased Assets shall continue in force only for the benefit of Sellers and their Affiliates and not for the benefit of Buyer. Buyer agrees to arrange for such insurance with respect to the Business and the Purchased Assets that Buyer may desire. Buyer agrees not to seek to benefit from any Seller’s or their respective Affiliates’ insurance policies which may provide coverage for claims relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing, and Sellers agree not to seek to benefit from Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ insurance policies which may provide coverage for claims relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets after the Closing.

4.07 Further Assurances; Post-Closing Payments.

(a) General Assurances. In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the parties will reasonably cooperate with each other and use its reasonable efforts, prior to, at and after the Closing Date, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary or appropriate on its part to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including the execution and delivery of such other instruments, certificates, agreements and other documents and the performance of such other actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable to consummate and implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided that all such actions are in accordance with applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time, whether at or after the Closing but subject to Section 1.01(e), each Seller and its Subsidiaries (as appropriate) will execute and deliver such further instruments, certificates, agreements and other documents and perform such other actions, at Buyer’s sole expense, as Buyer may reasonably require to more effectively transfer to Buyer any of the Purchased Assets. The obligations of each party under this Section 4.07(a) shall expire twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date.

(b) Payments. In the event that, on or after the Closing, either party receives payments or funds due or belonging to the other party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including any payment received by Sellers after the Closing with respect to any Purchased Receivables) or any of the other Transaction Documents, then the party receiving such payments or funds shall promptly (and in any event within ten days) forward or cause to be promptly (and in any event within ten days) forwarded such payments or funds to the proper party (with appropriate endorsements, as applicable), and will account to such other party for all such receipts. The parties acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.05(c) and elsewhere this Agreement, there is no right of offset regarding such payments and a party may not withhold funds received from Third Parties for the account of the other party in the event there is a dispute regarding any other issue under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.07(b), each Seller agrees that Buyer shall, following the Closing, have the right and authority to endorse any checks or drafts received by Buyer in respect of any Purchased Receivable, and such Seller shall furnish to Buyer such evidence of this authority as Buyer may reasonably request. Following the Closing, if Buyer or its Affiliates receives any mail or packages addressed to a Seller or its Subsidiaries and delivered to Buyer not relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall promptly deliver (or cause to be delivered) such mail or packages to such Seller. Following the Closing, if a Seller or its Subsidiaries receives any mail or packages delivered to such Seller relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, such Seller shall promptly deliver (or cause to be delivered) such mail or packages to Buyer.

4.08 Non-Competition.

(a) For a period of four years commencing on the Closing Date, and except as provided in the Transaction Documents, no Seller shall, nor shall any Seller permit any of its respective present or future Controlled Subsidiaries to, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Business in the Territory; or (ii) own an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Business in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a Seller or any Subsidiary of such Seller may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person if such Seller or Affiliate is not a Controlling Person of, or a member of a group which Controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person, and (ii) the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.08 shall not be deemed to apply to, or otherwise restrict the operations of, any Affiliates of any Seller other than its present and future Controlled Subsidiaries.

(b) Sellers acknowledge that a breach of this Section 4.08 will cause Buyer and their Affiliates irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and each Seller therefore agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 4.08, Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that it may have, to seek a temporary restraining order and to seek preliminary and final injunctive relief against such Seller to prevent any continuing breaches of this Section 4.08, without posting any type of bond or other security as a condition for seeking such relief. Sellers acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 4.08 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Sellers have independently consulted with their counsel and after such consultation agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 4.08 are reasonable and proper to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the character, duration or geographical scope of the provisions of this Section 4.08 are unreasonable, it is the intention and the agreement of the parties that these provisions shall be construed by the

court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on Sellers’ conduct that are reasonable in light of the circumstances and as are necessary to assure to Buyer the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants of this Section 4.08 because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to assure to the Buyer the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that the provisions hereof that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to be enforced in such proceeding, shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of such proceeding, from this Agreement.

4.09 Payment of Liabilities. Sellers shall pay or otherwise satisfy in the ordinary course of business and on a timely basis when due and payable, prior to the Closing, all of the Liabilities incurred in connection with the Business and, after the Closing, the Excluded Liabilities, except (i) to the extent that the failure to pay any such Liabilities on a timely basis when due and payable would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Purchased Assets or the Business, as conducted by Buyer after the Closing or (ii) to the extent that any Seller may be contesting the obligation to pay such Liability in good faith.

4.10 Employees.

(a) As of immediately following the Closing, Sellers shall continue to employ the Business Employees. Buyer shall provide, no later than January 21, 2022, offers of employment to each Business Employee set forth on Section 4.10(a) of the Disclosure Letter (such employees, the “Specified Employees”) at such Business Employee’s existing base salary and on such other terms and conditions that are substantially similar, in the aggregate, to such Business Employee’s existing terms and conditions and at the same location of employment, with such employment offer to be effective no later than January 31, 2022; provided, however, that subject to Section 4.10(c), Buyer may elect not to extend an offer of employment to any Specified Employee. Sellers shall not terminate the employment of any Specified Employee after the Closing Date and prior to the earlier of (i) such Specified Employee’s Transfer Date or (ii) January 31, 2021, in each case, without the prior written consent of Buyer. Sellers shall terminate the employment of each Specified Employee who receives such a qualifying offer of employment no later than the day prior to such employee’s Transfer Date, and shall pay to such Specified Employees any and all benefits and compensation otherwise required by Law or the terms of any Employee Benefit Plan to be paid to such employees through their final date of employment with Sellers. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.10(c) with respect to any such Specified Employee who is not extended an offer of employment or as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, Buyer will not assume any liability or obligation with respect to any such amounts.

(b) Buyer shall have no obligation to hire or otherwise continue the employment of any Business Employee other than the Specified Employees, and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, extend offers of employment to a portion of such other Business Employees who remain employed by Sellers at any time on or after the day following the Closing Date. With respect to all Business Employees other than Transferred Employees or Specified Employees, Sellers shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay to such Business Employees any and all benefits and compensation otherwise required by Law or the terms of any Employee Benefit Plan to be paid to such employees through their final date of employment with Sellers. Buyer will not assume any liability or obligation with respect to any such amounts.

(c) Any Business Employees who are hired/retained by Buyer pursuant to Sections 4.10(a) or (b) are sometimes referred to herein as “Transferred Employees”. With respect to any Transferred Employee only, Buyer shall be solely responsible for all wages, salaries, any bonuses or incentive compensation, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any and all vacation days, sick days, paid-time off, and personal days and any other employment benefits, if applicable, accruing from and after the applicable Transfer Date, except (i) as otherwise set forth in the Transition Services Agreement and (ii) Buyer solely shall be responsible for, and have all Liability with respect to, any severance or similar obligation with respect to a Specified Employee, whether or not a Transferred Employee, that results from the breach by Buyer of its obligation under Section 4.10(a) to provide such Specified Employee with a qualifying offer of employment in accordance with Section 4.10(a) or which results from Buyer’s election under Section 4.10(a) not to extend an offer of employment to any Specified Employee (and any related employer portion of any payroll, social security, unemployment or similar Taxes).

(d) If Buyer or Sellers determine to terminate any Business Employee (or, in the case of Sellers, any other employee at any location or site of employment where any Business Employee is employed) during the period from the Closing Date until ninety (90) days after the expiration or termination of the Transition Services Agreement, Buyer and Sellers agree to cooperate and exchange such data and information as is reasonably necessary to determine whether such termination would reasonably be expected to result in Liability to Buyer or Sellers under the WARN Act or any similar Law. All Liabilities with respect to (i) any “plant closing” (as defined in the WARN Act or any similar Law) affecting any site of employment on any of the Owned Real Properties or one or more facilities or operating units within any site of employment or facility of the Business Employees on any of the Owned Real Properties and (ii) any “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act or any similar Law) affecting any such site of employment or facility of the Business Employees, including any obligation to provide any required notices to such Business Employees or pay in lieu thereof, shall be the obligations of Buyer; provided, however, that Sellers shall be responsible for any such Liabilities to the extent arising from (a) any termination of any Business Employee or Business Employees (other than the Business Employees listed on Section 4.10(a) of the Disclosure Letter who are terminated pursuant to this Agreement) or any other employee or employees of Sellers employed at the Owned Real Properties by Sellers during the period from the Closing Date until ninety (90) days after the expiration or termination of the Transition Services Agreement, without the advance written consent of Buyer, (b) any termination of Sellers’ employees during the period from the Closing Date until ninety (90) days after the expiration or termination of the Transition Services Agreement, at any site or facility other than those on Owned Real Properties, or (c) any breach of or inaccuracy in the representation and warranty by Sellers in Section 2.15 as to terminations of employees in the last ninety (90) days. For purposes of clarity, Buyer shall be responsible for any such Liabilities brought against any Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates under the WARN Act or similar Law to the extent arising from (i) a termination of employment of any Transferred Employee following the such employee’s applicable Transfer Date and/or (ii) that results from the breach by Buyer of its obligation under Section 4.10(a) to provide a Specified Employee with a qualifying offer of employment in accordance with Section 4.10(a).

4.11 No Additional Representations; Disclaimer.

(a) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that no Seller, nor any of their respective Affiliates or representatives, nor any other Person acting on behalf of such Seller or any of its Affiliates or representatives, has made any (and Buyer and its Affiliates have not relied on any) representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding such Seller or any of its businesses or assets, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that no Seller, nor any of their respective Affiliates or representatives, nor any other Person acting on behalf of such Seller, or any of its Affiliates or representatives, will be subject to any Liability to Buyer or any other Person (other than for Fraud) resulting from the distribution to Buyer, or Buyer’s use of, any such information, including any information, documents, or materials made available to Buyer or its Affiliates or representatives in certain “data rooms” and online “data sites,” management presentations, or any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In connection with Buyer’s investigation of Sellers and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer may have received from or on behalf of Sellers certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of Sellers and certain business plan information of Sellers related to the Business. Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts), and that Buyer shall have no claim against any Seller or any other Person with respect thereto. Accordingly, no Seller makes any representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts), and Buyer has not relied thereon.

4.12 Bulk Sales Laws. The parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer.

4.13 License for BreatheWay Products in Purchased Inventory. Sellers hereby grant to Buyer a non-exclusive, sublicensable (solely to its customers), worldwide license under Sellers’ BreatheWay technology and Intellectual Property for use, offer for sale, sale and distribution of the products of the Business in the ordinary course of business for up to one year after the Closing, but only with respect to products of the Business which incorporate BreatheWay products included in the Purchased Inventory.

ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION

5.01 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of Sellers and Buyer contained in Article II and Article III, respectively, shall survive the Closing until eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that: (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.22 (Environmental Matters) shall survive for a period of three (3) years after the Closing; (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.01 and 3.01 (Organization and Corporate Power), Sections 2.02 and 3.02 (Due Execution and Delivery; Valid and Binding Agreement), Section 2.05(a) (Title to Purchased Assets) and Sections 2.18 and 3.08 (Brokers’ Fees) (such Sections being collectively referred to herein as the “Fundamental Representations”) and any representation in the case of Fraud shall survive for a period of twenty (20) years; and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.11 (Taxes) shall survive until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations on the collection of the Taxes to which such representations and warranties related by the applicable Governmental Entity or other Person.

The covenants and agreements in this Agreement that by their terms contemplate performance in whole or in part following the Closing shall survive as to the period from and after the Closing Date in accordance with their terms until fully performed or observed in accordance with their terms, after which such covenants and agreements shall terminate upon the date that is eighteen (18) months following the date all such performance and observation thereunder was due to be performed and observed; provided, however, that the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article V shall survive for a period of twenty (20) years; provided, however that any indemnification obligation with respect to the breach or failure to perform any underlying representation, warranty or covenant shall survive only until the expiration of such underlying representation, warranty or covenant under this Section 5.01.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a proper Notice of Claim is delivered by Buyer (on behalf of itself or another Buyer Indemnified Party) or any Seller (on behalf of itself or another Seller Indemnified Party), as applicable, prior to the end of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 5.01 with respect to such indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 5.02 or Section 5.03, as applicable, then the claim(s) specified therein shall survive until final resolution thereof in accordance with the terms hereof.

(i)any of the Excluded Liabilities,

(v) the failure of any party to comply with the terms and conditions of any bulk sales or bulk transfer or similar laws of any jurisdiction to the extent applicable to the sale or transfer of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to indemnification pursuant to this Article V shall be subject to the following limitations (in addition to any other limitations set forth herein):

(i)the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses under Section 5.02(a)(iii) until the total amount of Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 5.02(a)(iii) (as limited by the other provisions of this Article V), but for this Section 5.02(b)(i), exceeds $425,000, in which case the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount, subject to the other limitations herein (including Section 5.02(b)(ii)); and

(ii)the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses under Section 5.02(a)(iii) in excess of, and in no event shall the cumulative indemnification obligation of Sellers under Section 5.02(a)(iii) exceed, an amount greater than $7,500,000 in the aggregate;

provided, however, that the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation or any representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.11 of this Agreement by any Seller and the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to any Fraud by any Seller; provided, further, that the aggregate liability of the Sellers as a group for Losses arising out of or resulting from indemnification claims under this Agreement shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the Closing Cash Purchase Price.

5.03 Indemnification by Buyer.

(a) From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Article V), Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, their respective Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, partners, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, and representatives (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against all Losses incurred by Seller Indemnified Parties arising out of:

(i)any of the Assumed Liabilities,

(ii)any breach or failure by Buyer to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Transition Services Agreement),

(iii)any breach of any warranty or representation of Buyer contained in Article III or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, or

(iv)except for claims with respect to which Sellers are obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 5.02 (or would be obligated to do so, but for the effect of any survival period or limitation on such indemnification obligation under this Article V), the conduct of the Business (or the ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets) after the Closing (solely to the extent such Losses result from such conduct, ownership or operation after the Closing).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights of the Seller Indemnified Parties to indemnification pursuant to this Article V shall be subject to the following limitations (in addition to any other limitations set forth herein):

(i)the Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses under Section 5.03(a)(iii) until the total amount of Losses for which the Seller Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 5.03(a)(iii) (as limited by the other provisions of this Article V), but for this Section 5.03(b)(i), exceeds $425,000, in which case the Seller Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount, subject to the other limitations herein (including Section 5.03(b)(ii)); and

provided, however, that the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation by Buyer and the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to any Fraud by Buyer; provided, further, that the aggregate liability of Buyer for Losses arising out of or resulting from indemnification claims under this Agreement shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the Closing Cash Purchase Price.

5.04 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Upon the occurrence of Losses for which a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, believes (in good faith) that he, she or it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 5.02 or Section 5.03, as applicable (an “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall provide a Notice of Claim to the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article V (such notified party, the “Indemnifying Party”); provided, however, that the failure to deliver a Notice of Claim shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article V except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Any such claim for indemnification shall be conclusive against the Indemnifying Party in all respects thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Notice of Claim, unless within such period the Indemnifying Party sends the Indemnified Party a notice disputing such claim (a “Notice of Dispute”). Upon receipt of any Notice of Dispute, both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of such dispute within thirty (30) days of the Indemnified Party receiving the Notice of Dispute from the Indemnifying Party. If a mutually acceptable resolution is not reached between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may thereupon proceed to pursue the resolution of such dispute in accordance with applicable Law and the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, Buyer shall act on behalf of all Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 5.04 and either Landec or Curation shall act on behalf of all Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 5.04, and any action taken or document executed by either Landec or Curation shall be binding on all of the Seller Indemnified Parties.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.04(a), if an Action by a Person who is not a party hereto or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”) is commenced against any Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article V, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the failure (in and of itself) to give such Notice of Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby or the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party are materially increased as a result of such failure (in which case, the Indemnifying Party’s obligations will only be reduced to the extent of such material increase).

(i)The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of Claim to which such Third Party Claim relates (A) to participate in the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification, at its sole cost and expense, or (B) at its option, to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (it being understood and agreed that, if a Seller is the Indemnifying Party, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP shall be deemed to be reasonably acceptable; and if Buyer is the Indemnifying Party, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP shall be deemed reasonably acceptable) and at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the settlement and/or defense thereof; provided that, as a condition precedent to the Indemnifying Party’s right to assume control of such settlement or defense, it must first: (1) notify the Indemnified Party in writing within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (2) furnish the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party that the

Indemnifying Party has sufficient resources to defend such Third Party Claim and to satisfy its obligations to the Indemnified Party under this Article V in respect of such Third Party Claim and; provided, further, that until such time as the Indemnifying Party has assumed control of such Third Party Claim in accordance with clause (B) above, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control such Third Party Claim and any costs thereof shall be included in the Losses subject to indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such settlement or defense if the Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (A) seeks non-monetary relief, (B) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, (C) involves a claim which, if adversely determined, would be reasonably expected, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, to establish a precedent, custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests or prospects of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates or any Seller or its Affiliates, (D) seeks Losses in excess of the maximum amount such Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify under this Article V or (E) involves a claim that, in the good faith, reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, after notice and a thirty (30)-day opportunity to cure, the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend (each of the foregoing, an “Exception Claim”).

(ii)In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the control of the settlement or defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 5.04(b), the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith, at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. In the event that (A) the Indemnifying Party fails to elect to assume control of the settlement or defense of any Third Party Claim in the manner set forth in this Section 5.04(b) or (B) such Third Party Claim is, or at any time becomes, an Exception Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against, and may consent to the entry of any Order or enter into any settlement with respect to, such Third Party Claim, in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith).

(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.04(b), the Indemnifying Party may not settle any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if any such settlement (A) results in non-monetary relief, (B) contains an admission of wrongdoing or liability on behalf of any Indemnified Party, (C) provides that an Indemnified Party is required to (1) make any payment or take or refrain from taking any material action that would, in the absence of taking or refraining to take such action, adversely affect such Indemnified Party, (2) acknowledge any material rights of the Person making the Third Party Claim that would adversely affect such Indemnified Party or (3) waive any material rights that such Indemnified Party may have against such Person making the Third Party Claim or (D) does not include a legally binding, unconditional and irrevocable full release of the Indemnified Party by the Person bringing such Third Party Claim from any obligations or liabilities it may have with respect to such Third Party Claim.

5.05 Additional Indemnification Provisions.

(a) With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Agreement:

(i)all Losses shall be net of any amounts that have been recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any Third Party or any insurance policy or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement in respect of such Loss (after deducting therefrom (A) the amount of the reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in procuring such recovery and (B) in the case of an insurance policy, any deductible, co-payment or other amount of such recovery borne by the Indemnified Party or increases in premium of such policies incurred as a result of such recovery);

(ii)solely for purposes of determining Losses (and not for determining whether or not any breaches of representations or warranties have occurred), the representations and warranties of Buyer and Sellers shall not be deemed qualified by any references to materiality or to Material Adverse Effect, except that references to the word “Material” as used in the defined term “Material Contracts” and reference to “Material Adverse Effect” contained in Section 2.06 shall not be disregarded.

(iii)for the avoidance of doubt, no Seller shall be liable for any Losses suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party to the extent that such Losses relate to Taxes for or attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Period (except for Losses relating to Excluded Taxes or Taxes resulting from a breach of the representation in Section 2.11(a)(viii)).

(b) In any case where the Indemnified Party (or its Affiliates) recovers any amount pursuant to (i) any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any Third Party or (ii) any insurance policy or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was indemnified pursuant to Section 5.02 or Section 5.03, as applicable, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered or realized (after deducting therefrom the amount of any Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in excess of the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party and the reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in procuring such recovery or realization, including, in the case of an insurance policy, any deductible, co-payment or other amount of such recovery borne by the Indemnified Party or increases in premium of such policies incurred as a result of such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (x) any amount previously so paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of such Indemnified Party in respect of such matter and (y) any amount expended by the Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

(c) Neither the Buyer Indemnified Parties nor the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for the same Loss amount more than once under this Article V or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, even if a claim for indemnification or otherwise in respect of such Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one covenant, agreement or representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. To the extent that any Indemnified Party has an unpaid final dollar amount due pursuant to this Article V to an Indemnifying Party, notwithstanding Section 4.07(b), such Indemnified Party may set off such amount against any undisputed amounts then due and unpaid by such Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within the time period allowed for such payment.

5.06 Mitigation. Each party shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates and representatives to, take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any fact, event, circumstance or condition that has given rise to, or would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any Losses for which it would have the right to seek indemnification hereunder, including using commercially reasonable efforts to pursue recovery pursuant to indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any Third Party or any insurance policy or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement in respect of such Loss; provided this Section 5.06 shall not apply to steps to mitigate Losses with respect to Taxes.

5.07 Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to claims based on Fraud, claims based on the purchase price adjustment provisions included in Section 1.03, and/or claims seeking equitable remedies:

(a) Each party acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Disclosure Letter or any other Transaction Document (excluding the Transition Services Agreement) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article V. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Indemnified Party hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims, and Actions known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against any Indemnifying Party (other than pursuant to this Article V) relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Disclosure Letter or any other Transaction Document (excluding the Transition Services Agreement), and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign Law or otherwise.

(b) Furthermore, without limiting the generality of Section 5.07(a), no claim shall be brought or maintained by any Buyer Indemnified Party against any Seller, any of their respective Affiliates, or any of its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees, agents, and representatives, and no recourse of any kind shall be sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, or covenants of such Seller or any other Person set forth or contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (excluding the Transition Services Agreement), any certificate, instrument, opinion or other documents delivered hereunder or thereunder, the subject matter of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (excluding the Transition Services Agreement), the ownership, operation, management, use or control of the businesses of such Seller, any of its assets, any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or any actions or omissions at or prior to the Closing Date, in each case other than in compliance with, and subject to all of the provisions of, this Article V.

5.08 Manner of Payments and Tax Treatment of Payments.

(a) Any indemnification of a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article V shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Sellers to an account designated in writing by Buyer (on behalf of any such Buyer Indemnified Party) within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof.

(b) Any indemnification of a Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article V shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Buyer to an account designated in writing by a Seller (on behalf of any such Seller Indemnified Party) within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof.

(c) Sellers and Buyer shall treat any adjustments or indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Law.

5.09 No Punitive Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NO PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTIES FOR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, ARISING FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF, OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OTHER THAN SUCH DAMAGES PAYABLE BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY IN RESPECT OF ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM.

6.03 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that Buyer may assign this Agreement to any Affiliate of Buyer without the prior consent of Sellers; provided further, that no assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding on and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement (except that Article V is intended to benefit the Indemnified Parties).

6.04 Severability.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

6.05 No Strict Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

6.06 Captions. The captions used in this Agreement and the Disclosure Letter are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement or a part of the Disclosure Letter and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize, or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement or the Disclosure Letter, and all provisions of this Agreement and the Disclosure Letter shall be enforced and construed as if no captions had been used therein.

6.07 Complete Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Letter and all other Exhibits and Annexes hereto), the other Transaction Documents, and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and thereof and supersede all prior (but not concurrent) agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

6.08 Disclosure Letter. Any fact or item that is disclosed in any specific section of the Disclosure Letter in a way as to make its relevance or applicability to information called for by any other section of the Disclosure Letter reasonably apparent shall be deemed to be disclosed in such other specific section of the Disclosure Letter, notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross-reference thereto.

6.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts, either manually or electronically (including by PDF and electronic mail or by any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 (e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇)), each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. No counterpart shall be effective unless and until each party has executed at least one counterpart.

6.10 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Buyer or a Seller, as applicable, in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by Buyer or a Seller, as applicable.
