Section 2.02.         Assignment of Contracts and Rights; Third Party Consents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or a violation of Law or would in any way adversely affect the rights of the Buyer thereunder.  Subject to Section 5.05(b), the Sellers and the Buyer will each use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to the Buyer as the Buyer may reasonably request.  If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted transfer or assignment thereof would be ineffective or a violation of Law or would adversely affect the rights of the Buyer (as assignee of the applicable Seller) thereto or thereunder so that the Buyer would not in fact receive all such rights, the Sellers and the Buyer will, subject to Section 5.05(b), cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement, such as a subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement, under which the Buyer would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits, and, to the extent first arising after the Closing, assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with such Transferred Asset or such claim, right or benefit in accordance with this Agreement, or under which the Sellers would, upon the Buyer’s request, enforce for the benefit (and at the expense) of the Buyer any and all of their rights against a third party associated with such Transferred Asset or such claim, right or benefit, and the Sellers would promptly pay to the Buyer when received all monies received by them under any such Transferred Asset or such claim, right or benefit.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 2.02 will not apply to Shared Contracts, and the parties’ obligations with respect to Shared Contracts will be governed by Section 5.17.

Section 2.03.         Closing.  On the Business Day which is the Sellers’ last accounting day in the fiscal month in which the conditions set forth in Article VII that are contemplated to be satisfied prior to the Closing are satisfied or are waived by the party entitled to grant such waiver, or on such other date as the Sellers and the Buyer may agree, the sale and purchase of the Transferred Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) that will be held at the offices of King & Spalding LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time or such other place, time or means (including electronically) as the Sellers and the Buyer may agree in writing.  The date on which the Closing takes place is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

Section 2.04.         Purchase Price.  Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.07, the aggregate amount to be paid by the Buyer for the Transferred Assets shall be $12,430,870.32 (the “Base Purchase Price”).  It is understood that, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.07, the aggregate purchase price for the Transferred Assets is equal to $13,548,301.06 (the “Purchase Price”), calculated as (a) the Base Purchase Price, plus (b) the value of the Retained Assets, minus (c) the value of the Retained Liabilities.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that neither the Base Purchase Price nor the Purchase Price includes any payments contemplated by the Comprehensive Beverage Agreement.

(e)           the other documents and certificates required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.03.

(d)           If the Buyer does not provide the Sellers with a Notice of Dispute within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, the Preliminary Amounts Schedule prepared by the Sellers shall be deemed to be the Final Amounts Schedule and will be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto.

(e)           If the Buyer provides the Sellers with a Notice of Dispute within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, the Buyer and the Sellers shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as possible, and upon such resolution, the Final Amounts Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the agreement of the Buyer and the Sellers.  If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to resolve any dispute regarding the Preliminary Amounts Schedule within thirty (30) days after the Sellers’ receipt of the Notice of Dispute, or such longer period as the Buyer and the Sellers shall mutually agree in writing, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2.07(f).

(f)            If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to resolve any dispute regarding the Preliminary Amounts Schedule within thirty (30) days after the Sellers’ receipt of the Notice of Dispute, or such longer period as the Buyer and the Sellers shall mutually agree in writing, such dispute shall be resolved by a mutually agreed upon accounting firm that, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties, is independent of the Buyer and each Seller (meaning a firm of certified public accountants that has not provided services to any of the parties hereto or their Affiliates during the immediately preceding five (5) years) (such accounting firm, the “Arbitrator”).  Such resolution shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and the Final

12

Amounts Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the resolution of the Arbitrator.  The Buyer and the Sellers shall submit to the Arbitrator for review and resolution all matters (but only such matters) that are set forth in the Notice of Dispute that remain in dispute in determining the Net Working Capital Amount, the Other Third Party Brand Amount, the DP Amount, the Residual Transferred Assets Amount, the Other Assets and Liabilities Amount, the Retained Assets Amount or the Retained Liabilities Amount, as the case may be, and the Arbitrator shall, except in the case of manifest error, (A) not assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by the Buyer, on the one hand, or the Sellers, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by the Buyer, on the one hand, or the Sellers, on the other hand, and (B) make its determination based on written submissions by the Buyer and the Sellers which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review).  The Arbitrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete its work within forty-five (45) days following its engagement.  The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbitrator (i) shall be borne by the Buyer in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of all such disputed items so submitted that are resolved against the Buyer (as finally determined by the Arbitrator) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted and (ii) shall be borne by the Sellers in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are resolved against the Sellers (as finally determined by the Arbitrator) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all such items so submitted.

(g)           Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Amounts Schedule in accordance with this Section 2.07:

(i)            to the extent that there is a Closing Amounts Deficit on the Final Amounts Schedule, the Sellers shall pay to the Buyer in cash an aggregate amount equal to the Closing Amounts Deficit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Buyer.  Upon such payment, the Sellers shall be fully released and discharged of any obligation with respect to the Closing Amounts Deficit;

(ii)           to the extent that there is a Closing Amounts Surplus on the Final Amounts Schedule, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers in cash an aggregate amount equal to the Closing Amounts Surplus by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Sellers.  Upon such payment, the Buyer shall be fully released and discharged of any obligation with respect to the Closing Amounts Surplus; and

(iii)          any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.07(g) shall include an additional amount of interest on the amount so remitted at a rate per annum equal to the Six Month Treasury Rate, which additional amount of interest shall accrue from and after the first calendar day after the Closing Date until the date of payment.

Section 2.08.         Allocation of Certain Items.  With respect to certain expenses incurred with respect to the Transferred Assets in the operation of the Business, the following allocations shall be made between the Buyer on the one hand and the Sellers on the other:

(a)           Taxes.  Except as otherwise provided by Section 6.01, real and ad valorem property Taxes shall be apportioned at the Closing based upon the amounts set forth in the

13

current Tax bills therefor and the number of days in the taxable period prior to (and including) the Closing Date and in the taxable period following the Closing Date and if necessary such Taxes shall be further apportioned after the parties hereto receive the final Tax bills relating thereto.

(b)           Utilities.  Utilities, water and sewer charges shall be apportioned based upon the number of days occurring prior to (and including) the Closing Date and following the Closing Date during the billing period for each such charge.

(c)           Other.  Other similar obligations paid in the ordinary course of business, including rent and lease obligations, as well as obligations owed to Business Employees in respect of reimbursable automobile-related expenses, shall be apportioned based upon the number of days occurring prior to (and including) the Closing Date and following the Closing Date during the billing period for each such charge.

Appropriate cash payments by the Buyer or the Sellers, as the case may require, shall be made hereunder from time to time as soon as practicable after the facts giving rise to the obligation for such payments are known in the amounts necessary to give effect to the allocations provided for in this Section 2.08; provided, however, that such payments shall not be required to the extent an accrued expense or prepaid expense is adequately reflected with respect to such item on the Final Amounts Schedule.

Section 2.09.         Allocation of Purchase Price.  Within forty-five (45) days after the determination of the Final Amounts Schedule in accordance with Section 2.07, the Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price (together with the Assumed Liabilities and any other items treated as consideration for the Transferred Assets for Tax purposes) among the Transferred Assets.  The Allocation Schedule shall be reasonable and shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and thus it shall be based on the fair market value of the Transferred Assets with the parties agreeing, for purposes of this Section, to use the Net Book Value of the tangible assets as a reasonable basis for the fair market value of such assets).  Such allocation shall be deemed final unless the Sellers shall have notified the Buyer in writing of any disagreement with the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days after submission thereof by the Buyer.  In the event of such disagreement, the Buyer and the Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to reach agreement on a reasonable allocation.  In the event that the Buyer and the Sellers do not reach an agreement, the Arbitrator shall make a determination as to each disputed item, which determination shall be final and binding upon the Buyer and the Sellers.  The Buyer and the Sellers agree to file their respective Internal Revenue Service Forms 8594, and all federal, state, and local Tax Returns, in accordance with the Allocation Schedule as finally determined under this Section 2.09.  The Buyer and the Sellers each agree to provide the other promptly with any other information required to complete the Allocation Schedule and their Forms 8594.

Section 2.10.         Vending and Cold Drink Equipment.

(a)           Set forth on Section 2.01(a)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedule is a list of the Subject Equipment that the Sellers have assigned a Net Book Value greater than $20 and that has been serviced within the previous twenty-four (24) months and/or has produced revenue within the previous twelve (12) months and the location thereof (as updated pursuant to this Section

14

2.10, the “Key Subject Equipment”), as well as a depreciation schedule and the acquisition cost for the Key Subject Equipment, the method for computing the agreed replacement value of each item of Key Subject Equipment (the “Agreed Replacement Value”) following the Closing and a “weighted average” value for each category of Key Subject Equipment (the “Weighted Average Value”).  Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing, the Sellers will, by written notice to the Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, amend or supplement Section 2.01(a)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedule (as amended or supplemented, the “Closing Key Subject Equipment Schedule”) to update the list of the Key Subject Equipment existing as of the Closing Date and the corresponding acquisition cost and accumulated depreciation for the Key Subject Equipment and Agreed Replacement Values, as calculated as of the Closing Date, and Weighted Average Values thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, the method for computing Agreed Replacement Value contemplated by Section 2.01(a)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedule will be used for all subsequent calculations of Agreed Replacement Value under this Section 2.10, including those set forth on the Closing Key Subject Equipment Schedule.

(b)           Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, although the physical location or existence of certain pieces of the Key Subject Equipment as reflected on the Closing Key Subject Equipment Schedule may not be determinable, the failure of the Buyer to locate or determine the existence of all such Key Subject Equipment will not provide the basis of or result in a reduction of or adjustment to the Purchase Price (except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.10) or otherwise provide the basis of or result in a claim for indemnification under Article IX.  Within ten (10) Business Days following the six (6) month anniversary of the delivery by the Sellers to the Buyer of the Closing Key Subject Equipment Schedule, the Buyer shall deliver written notice to the Sellers (the “Missing Equipment Notice”) with the following information: (i) a list of each item of Key Subject Equipment which the Buyer has failed to locate or the existence of which the Buyer has failed to determine (the “Missing Equipment”), (ii) the Weighted Average Value of each item of Missing Equipment, (iii) a list of each other item of Subject Equipment present at the location specified for an item of Missing Equipment on the Closing Key Subject Equipment Schedule, which list shall specify the location (outlet name and address along with outlet number), make, model and asset identification number for each such other item of Subject Equipment, the date such item was observed and the name of the individual who made such observation, and (iv) a list of any Substitute Subject Equipment that the Buyer has located during such period following the Closing; provided, that the Buyer may only provide the Sellers with one (1) Missing Equipment Notice, which Missing Equipment Notice may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.10(c).  The Missing Equipment Notice will also include a calculation (the “Threshold Calculation”) of whether the total Weighted Average Value of all Missing Equipment included in the Missing Equipment Notice exceeds five percent (5%) (the “Subject Equipment Threshold”) of the total Weighted Average Value of (I) all Key Subject Equipment listed on the Closing Key Subject Equipment Schedule plus (II) any Substitute Subject Equipment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the provision of a Missing Equipment Notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 and the rights of the Buyer with respect thereto set forth in this Section 2.10 are the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Buyer with respect to Missing Equipment.  In addition, between the date that the Closing Key Subject Equipment Schedule is delivered by the Sellers to the Buyer and the date that the Missing Equipment Notice is delivered by the Buyer to the Sellers, the Buyer shall provide to the Sellers monthly written updates regarding the status of any Missing Equipment by

15

not less than twenty (20) Business Days after the end of each month.  If and to the extent that the relocation within the Territory of any Substitute Subject Equipment is necessary (as determined by the Buyer in its sole discretion), the Sellers will bear any out-of-pocket costs related to such relocation.  Such Substitute Subject Equipment will be free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

(c)           The Sellers shall have ninety (90) days following receipt of the Missing Equipment Notice during which to notify the Buyer of any dispute of any Missing Equipment contained on the Missing Equipment Notice (an “Equipment Dispute Notice”).  If the Sellers do not provide the Buyer with an Equipment Dispute Notice within such ninety (90) day period, the Missing Equipment Notice prepared by the Buyer shall be deemed to be final and will be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.  If the Sellers do provide the Buyer with an Equipment Dispute Notice within such ninety (90) day period, then the Buyer and the Sellers shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as possible.  If the total Weighted Average Value of all of the Missing Equipment set forth on the Missing Equipment Notice and described in the Threshold Calculation exceeds the Subject Equipment Threshold (or if the resolution of the Equipment Dispute Notice is that it exceeds the Subject Equipment Threshold), the Sellers shall pay the Buyer the dollar value (based on the Agreed Replacement Value as of the Closing Date) of all the Missing Equipment (and not just the Missing Equipment in excess of the Subject Equipment Threshold).  If the total Weighted Average Value of all of the Missing Equipment set forth on the Missing Equipment Notice and described in the Threshold Calculation does not exceed the Subject Equipment Threshold (or if the resolution of the Equipment Dispute Notice is that it does not exceed the Subject Equipment Threshold), the Sellers shall not be required to make any payments under this Section 2.10.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 2.10, if the parties have determined that the Sellers are required to pay the Buyer with respect to Missing Equipment in accordance with this Section 2.10, the parties agree that the Sellers shall, prior to paying any amounts under this Section 2.10, first attempt to substitute for pieces of the Missing Equipment comparable pieces of cold drink and vending equipment from the Sellers’ inventory (i) with a comparable Agreed Replacement Value and in the same equipment category as the Missing Equipment and (ii) in good operating condition and in a state of good maintenance and repair consistent with current industry standards, ordinary wear and tear excepted.  If the Sellers are able to make any such substitution, they will transfer such substitute piece of equipment to the Buyer free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens, and relocate such equipment to a location in the Territory designated by the Buyer at the sole cost and expense of the Sellers.  If the Sellers substitute comparable pieces of cold drink and vending equipment from the Sellers’ inventory for pieces of Missing Equipment as described in this Section 2.10(d), then the amount that the Sellers are to pay to the Buyer under Section 2.10(c) will be reduced by the Agreed Replacement Value of such Missing Equipment that is so substituted.

(e)           The Buyer shall provide the Sellers and their respective Representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the Buyer’s Representatives and such books and records as may be reasonably requested by the Sellers and their respective Representatives in order to verify the information contained in the Missing Equipment Notice; provided, however, that such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Buyer.  The Buyer shall also provide the Sellers and their respective

16

Representatives with access to the Buyer’s sales and service records for purposes of determining whether the Buyer or any of its Affiliates has sold to or serviced any Subject Equipment.  The Buyer hereby covenants and agrees that it shall maintain and track the BASIS outlet number along with maintaining and tracking the same service control numbers and CCR asset tracking number for each item of Subject Equipment as those utilized by the Sellers prior to the Closing.

Section 2.11.         Withholding.  Neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall deduct or withhold any amounts payable to the other hereunder without consulting with the other party prior to deducting or withholding any such amounts and each shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the other party in minimizing or eliminating such amounts.

34

the Buyer such additional financial and operating data and other information regarding the Business or the Transferred Assets as the Buyer may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of preparing to operate the Business following the Closing; provided, however, that such investigation shall not unreasonably interfere with any of the businesses or operations of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates; and provided, further, that the auditors and accountants of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to any Person except in accordance with such auditors’ and accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such Person has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such auditors or accountants.  If so requested by the Sellers, the Buyer shall enter into a customary joint defense agreement with the Sellers and such of their Affiliates as they request with respect to any information to be provided to the Buyer or its Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.02(a).  Without limiting the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the Buyer shall not conduct, without the prior written consent of the Sellers, any environmental investigation at any property owned or leased by any Seller in the operation of the Business, and in no event may any such environmental investigation include any sampling or other intrusive investigation of air, surface water, groundwater, soil or anything else at or in connection with any such properties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the Closing, without the prior consent of the Sellers, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (and which must be in writing only for contacts with suppliers or customers), neither the Buyer nor any of its Representatives shall contact any employees of, suppliers to, or customers of any Seller or its Affiliates, except for contacts by the Buyer in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; provided that if a Seller does provide the Buyer such prior consent, the Buyer and any of its Representatives may continue to contact such employee, supplier or customer (x) unless such consent explicitly states otherwise or (y) until such Seller informs the Buyer or any of its Representatives that they may no longer contact such employee, supplier or customer.

35

such purposes; provided, however, that such investigation shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates; and provided, further, that the auditors and accountants of the Buyer or its Affiliates shall not be obligated to make any work papers available to any Person except in accordance with such auditors’ and accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such Person has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such auditors or accountants.  If so requested by the Buyer, the Sellers shall enter into a customary joint defense agreement with the Buyer and its Affiliates with respect to any information to be provided to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 5.02(b).  No information, books, records or other documents accessed by the Sellers or their respective Affiliates or Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.02(b) shall be used for any purposes other than as expressly permitted by this Section 5.02(b).

(c)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sellers shall not be required, prior to the Closing, to disclose, or cause the disclosure of, to the Buyer or its Affiliates or Representatives (or provide access to any offices, properties, books or records of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates that could result in the disclosure to such persons or others of) any confidential information relating to trade secrets, proprietary know-how, processes or patent, trademark, trade name, service ▇▇▇▇ or copyright applications or relating to any product development or pricing and marketing plans to the extent counsel to the Sellers, after consultation with counsel to the Buyer, advises that doing so would likely be a violation of applicable antitrust Laws, nor shall the Sellers be required to permit or cause others to permit the Buyer or its Affiliates or Representatives to have access to or to copy or remove from the offices or properties of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates any documents, drawings or other materials that might reveal any such confidential information.

(i)            at the end of fiscal year 2013, the financial information described on Section 5.02(d)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule;

(ii)           at the end of each month after the date hereof, monthly financial information, which shall include data with respect to volume (on a brand basis), revenue, and cost of goods sold at standard and gross margin, in each case solely related to the Business;

(iii)          at the end of each fiscal quarter after the date hereof, all of the data described in Section 5.02(d)(ii) above together with direct operating expense data, in each case solely related to the Business for the quarter then ended (the “Interim Quarterly Data”); and

36

(iv)          at the end of fiscal year 2013, a good faith calculation of the twelve (12) month average of the amount of the Net Working Capital for calendar year 2013 (the “Target Net Working Capital Amount”) based on the books and records of the Business that were used in preparing the 2013 Data.

The Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer the data contemplated by this Section 5.02(d) promptly upon completion, but in any event no later than, (w) May 9, 2014 with respect to deliveries made pursuant to Section 5.02(d)(i), (x) fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of the applicable month with respect to deliveries made pursuant to Section 5.02(d)(ii), (y) one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the applicable fiscal quarter with respect to deliveries made pursuant to Section 5.02(d)(iii), and (z) May 9, 2014 with respect to the delivery made pursuant to Section 5.02(d)(iv). The calculation of the Target Net Working Capital Amount will be (I) determined in accordance with the guidelines set forth on Section B-1 of the Disclosure Schedule and in accordance with the Agreed Financial Methodology and (II) subject to reasonable verification by the Buyer within thirty (30) days of the Sellers’ delivery of  such calculation.

(e)           The Sellers will, and will cause their Affiliates to, cooperate with the Buyer’s completion of its due diligence by providing to the Buyer certain identified information described in Section 5.02(e) of the Disclosure Schedule.  With respect to the continuing diligence of the Buyer under this Agreement that takes place between the signing of this Agreement and the Closing, the parties agree to deal with one another in good faith consistent with historical practices for addressing economic disputes.

(f)            If any Seller enters into any Pre-Closing Material Contract between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Sellers will provide the Buyer as promptly as reasonably practicable prior to the Closing with true, correct and complete copies of all such contracts or agreements.  If any Seller enters into any Shared Contract or Specified Non-Transferring Contract between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Sellers will provide the Buyer as promptly as reasonably practicable with true, correct and complete copies of all portions of such Shared Contracts or Specified Non-Transferring Contracts, as applicable, that relate to the Business (together with such other portions thereof as are necessary to comprehend the terms thereof that apply to the Business).

Section 5.03.         Preservation of Books and Records.  The Sellers and their Affiliates shall have the right to retain copies of all books and records of the Business relating to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, which books and records shall be deemed confidential information of the Buyer as of the Closing and subject to Section 5.04.  Each party agrees that it shall preserve and keep, or cause to be preserved and kept, all original books and records in respect of the Business relating to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date in the possession of such party or its Affiliates for the longer of (a) any requirement under any applicable Law or (b) a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date.  During such six (6) year or longer period, Representatives of each party shall, upon reasonable notice and for any reasonable business purpose, have access during normal business hours to examine, inspect and copy (at the expense of the requesting party) such books and records.  During such six (6) year or longer period, the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, shall provide each other with, or cause to be provided to each other, such original books and records of the Business as such other party shall reasonably request in connection with any Action to which such other

37

party or its Affiliates are parties or in connection with the requirements of any Law applicable to such other party.  The other party shall return such original books and records to the providing party or such Affiliate as soon as such books and records are no longer needed in connection with the circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence.  After such six (6) year or longer period, before the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall dispose of any of such books and records, such party shall give at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of such intention to dispose to the other party, and the other party shall be given an opportunity, at its cost and expense, to remove and retain all or any part of such books and records as the other party may elect.  If so requested by a party, the other party shall enter into a customary joint defense agreement with the requesting party with respect to any information to be provided to a party pursuant to this Section 5.03.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.03 shall require the Buyer or the Sellers, as the case may be, to make available any such records in connection with any indemnity claim hereunder made by any Buyer Indemnified Party or TCCC Indemnified Party, as applicable, which claim shall be subject to applicable rules of discovery.

(e)           Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.05 to the contrary, neither the Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action, including responding to and/or defending any court or administrative proceeding, proposing or making any divestiture or other undertaking, or proposing or entering into any consent decree or taking any action which the Buyer reasonably determines could be material to the benefits expected to be derived by the Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or be material to the business of the Buyer and its Subsidiaries or the Business as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted following the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.06.         Further Action.  Each of the Sellers and the Buyer (a) shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and other papers and shall take, or shall cause to be taken, such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry

39

out the provisions of this Agreement and the Companion Agreements and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Companion Agreements, including (in the case of the Sellers) by reasonably cooperating with the Buyer to assist the Buyer with obtaining any permits, licenses or other governmental authorizations to replace any Material Permits, Environmental Permits or other permits, licenses or other governmental authorizations described in Section 2.01(a)(vi) to the extent such permits, licenses or authorizations are not transferable to the Buyer, provided, that in no event will the Sellers be required to compensate any Person, commence or participate in litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Person to obtain any such permits, licenses or authorizations, (b) shall refrain from taking any actions that could reasonably be expected to impair, delay or impede the Closing and (c) without limiting the foregoing, shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all of the conditions to the obligations of the other party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be met on or prior to the End Date.

respective Affiliates to, enter into with, each third party to a Shared Contract, either (a) a separate contract or agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to CCR and the Buyer (a “New Contract”) that allocates the rights and obligations of the Sellers and their Affiliates under each such Shared Contract as between the Business, on the one hand, and the retained business of the Sellers and their Affiliates, on the other hand, and which are otherwise substantially similar in all material respects to such Shared Contract, or (b) a contract or agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to CCR and the Buyer effective as of the Closing (the “Partial Assignments and Releases”) that (i) assigns the rights and obligations under such Shared Contract solely to the extent related to the Business and arising after the Closing to the Buyer and (ii) releases the Sellers and their Affiliates from all liabilities or obligations with respect to the Business that arise after the Closing.  Any New Contracts that relate to the Business  (the “New Business Contracts”) shall be entered into by the Buyer or its Affiliates effective as of the Closing and shall allocate to the Buyer all rights and obligations of the Sellers or their Affiliates (as applicable) under the applicable Shared Contract being replaced to the extent such rights and obligations relate to the Business and arise after the Closing.  All purchase commitments under the Shared Contracts shall be allocated under the New Business Contracts or the Partial Assignments and Releases as between the Business, on the one hand, and the retained business of the Sellers and their Affiliates, on the other hand, in an equitable manner that is mutually and reasonably agreed to by the Buyer and the Sellers. In connection with the entering into of New Business Contracts, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Sellers and their Affiliates are released by the third party with respect to all liabilities and obligations relating to the Business and arising after the Closing.  In the event that any third party under a Shared Contract does not agree to enter into a New Business Contract or Partial Assignment and Release consistent with this Section 5.17, the parties shall in good faith seek mutually acceptable alternative arrangements for purposes of allocating rights and liabilities and obligations under such Shared Contract (provided, that such arrangements shall not result in a breach or violation of such Shared Contract by the Sellers).  Such alternative arrangements may include a subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement under which the Buyer would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits under, and, to the extent first arising after the Closing, assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with, such Shared Contract solely to the extent related to the Business or under which the Sellers would, upon the Buyer’s request, enforce for the benefit (and at the expense) of the Buyer any and all of the Sellers’ rights against such third party under such Shared Contract solely to the extent related to the Business, and the Sellers would promptly pay to the Buyer when received all monies received by them under such Shared Contract solely to the extent related to the Business.  The parties also confirm their present intent to continue in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice to uphold their respective commitments and cost sharing arrangements regarding sponsored marketing properties relating to the Business, to the extent those are mutually agreed upon from time to time.  The Sellers shall provide a list of all Material Contracts and Shared Contracts in which such currently existing commitments and cost sharing arrangements are documented, and, with respect to Shared Contracts, which are related to the Business, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof but in any event prior to the Closing and shall promptly notify the Buyer of any contract or agreement entered into between the date hereof and the Closing Date in accordance with Section 5.01 in which any such arrangements are documented and which, had such contract or agreement been entered into prior to the date hereof, would have

45

been a Material Contract required to be set forth on Section 3.12(a) of the Disclosure Schedule or a Shared Contract required to be set forth on Section 3.12(b) of the Disclosure Schedule.

Section 5.18.         Pre-Closing Repairs; Certain Credits; Certain Payments.  Prior to the Closing, the Sellers will complete certain repairs to be made to, and take such other actions with respect to, the Transferred Assets, which are described on Section 5.18(a) of the Disclosure Schedule or which are mutually agreed to by the Buyer and the Sellers in writing after the date hereof but prior to the Closing.  At the Closing, the Sellers will provide the Buyer with certain credits against the Closing Cash Payment relating to certain Transferred Assets or the Business as described in Section 5.18(b) of the Disclosure Schedule or as may be mutually agreed to by the Buyer and the Sellers in writing after the date hereof but prior to the Closing.  At the Closing, the Buyer will make the payment to the Sellers described on Section 5.18(c) of the Disclosure Schedule.

Section 5.19.         Environmental Responsibilities.

(a)           The Sellers have ordered Phase II Environmental Assessments to be performed by Antea Group for each piece of the Real Property with respect to which a Phase I Environmental Assessment recommended that such Phase II Environmental Assessments should be performed.  The cost of such assessments shall be paid by the parties in the manner set forth in Section 10.01 of the Disclosure Schedule.

(b)           As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, the Sellers shall at their expense determine whether applicable Environmental Law requires that any REC or the Environmental Activity associated with such REC be reported to a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the matter (an “Agency Notification”).  If an Agency Notification of a REC or Environmental Activity is required (i) prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall make such Agency Notification and promptly provide a copy of such Agency Notification to the Buyer, or (ii) after the Closing, the Buyer shall make such Agency Notification and promptly provide a copy of such Agency Notification to the Sellers.  After such Agency Notification is made, the Sellers shall perform, or cause to be performed, the appropriate Environmental Activity and the Sellers shall obtain the written concurrence of the appropriate Governmental Authority that no further action is necessary in respect of such REC to otherwise achieve the Acceptable Regulatory Standards.

(c)           In the event an Agency Notification of a REC is not required by applicable Environmental Law, then the Sellers shall at their expense perform, or cause to be performed, the related Environmental Activity until such time as the Sellers’ environmental consultant delivers a reliance letter to the Buyer which indicates that, in such consultant’s opinion, no further action is necessary to otherwise achieve the Acceptable Regulatory Standards; provided, however, in the event that a Governmental Authority subsequently determines that additional Environmental Activities relating to the REC are required to achieve Acceptable Regulatory Standards, then the Sellers shall at their expense perform, or cause to be performed, such additional Environmental Activities promptly and in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws.

(d)           In the event that, as of the Closing, the Sellers have not completed any Environmental Activities specified in this Section 5.19 then the parties shall enter into a mutually

46

acceptable access agreement with respect to the Sellers (and their representatives) access to the applicable Real Property after the Closing for purposes of completing such Environmental Activities. The Sellers shall provide copies to the Buyer of all correspondence with a Governmental Authority regarding any matters subject of an Agency Notification, as well as all work plans, notices, submissions, field work, and final reports that are related to the Environmental Activities.

Section 5.20.         Vehicle Titles and Registrations.  The Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Buyer, at or prior to the Closing, all title certificates and registrations (as appropriate and as applicable) for the motor vehicles, rolling stock and other certificated assets included in the Transferred Assets (collectively, the “Titled Vehicles”), duly completed in favor of the Buyer or such other party as the Buyer may designate for such purpose (such duly completed title certificates and registrations, “Completed Title Documents”).  As soon as reasonably practical after the Closing, the Sellers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Buyer all Completed Title Documents that the Sellers were unable to deliver to the Buyer at or prior to the Closing.  To the extent that Completed Title Documents for any Titled Vehicles are not delivered to the Buyer at or prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Titled Vehicles are properly titled and registered for legal operation on federal, state and local roadways until such times as Completed Title Documents for such Titled Vehicles are delivered to the Buyer.

Section 5.21.         Additional Financial Information for the Business.  The Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their Representatives to, provide to the Buyer (a) the financial statements of the Business, including any accountant’s report, and (b) such other financial information as is reasonably necessary to prepare pro forma financial statements, in each case, that the Buyer reasonably determines are required, pursuant to the applicable provisions of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act specified in Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, to be filed by the Buyer in connection with the Closing, such financial statements and other financial information to be delivered as promptly as reasonably practical, but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time that the Buyer is required to file such financial statements pursuant to applicable securities Laws in connection with the Closing.

Section 5.22.         Leased Tangible Personal Property.  With respect to any trucks, trailers and forklifts that are part of the Tangible Personal Property, that are leased by the Sellers or their Affiliates pursuant to a capital or finance lease and are subject to a Lien in favor of the lessor thereunder, the Sellers shall take such actions prior to the Closing as necessary to purchase such trucks, trailers and forklifts and to deliver good and clear title to such trucks, trailers and forklifts to the Buyer at the Closing at no additional cost to the Buyer; provided, however, that if the Sellers are unable to purchase such trucks, trailers and forklifts prior to the Closing or if the Sellers are otherwise unable to deliver clear title to any such trucks, trailers and forklifts at the Closing, the Sellers and the Buyer will enter into a vehicle lease with respect to such trucks, trailers and forklifts, whereby the Sellers will lease such trucks, trailers and forklifts to the Buyer at no further cost to the Buyer until such time as the Sellers can purchase such trucks, trailers and forklifts and provide, at no additional cost to the Buyer, good and clear title to such trucks, trailers and forklifts to the Buyer, provided that pursuant to the terms of the vehicle lease the Buyer will fully insure such trucks, trailers and forklifts.

47

Section 5.23.         National Food Service and Warehouse Juice Businesses; Non-DSD Businesses.  The parties hereto (or their applicable Affiliates) will use their reasonable good faith efforts to reasonably mutually agree upon one (1) or more legally binding agreements with respect to the Buyer’s economic participation in:  (a) the U.S. national food service and warehouse juice businesses, and (b) all future non-direct store delivery products or business models (including all future beverages, beverage components, and other beverage products distributed by means other than direct store delivery), in each case, on commercially reasonable terms and conditions to be negotiated in good faith by the parties hereto (collectively, the “Economic Participation Agreement”).  It is the current intent of the parties hereto that such Economic Participation Agreement shall be executed on or prior to October 1, 2014.

ARTICLE VI

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.01.         Tax Matters.   The parties agree that the Sellers and the Buyer are equally sharing the liability for all transfer, sales, use, stamp, conveyance, recording, registration, documentary, filing and other similar Taxes arising in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transaction Taxes”).  If the Sellers are required to collect and/or pay the Transaction Taxes to the appropriate taxing jurisdiction, the Sellers shall provide the Buyer with the calculation of the applicable Transaction Taxes, and the Buyer shall reimburse the Sellers for its fifty percent (50%) share of the liability with respect to such Transaction Taxes within thirty (30) days after receiving the calculation thereof.  If the Buyer is required to collect and/or pay the Transaction Taxes to the appropriate taxing jurisdiction, the Buyer shall provide the Sellers with the calculation of the applicable Transaction Taxes, and the Sellers shall reimburse the Buyer for their fifty percent (50%) share of the liability with respect to such Transaction Taxes within thirty (30) days after receiving the calculation thereof.  Each party shall remit the applicable Transaction Taxes to the appropriate taxing jurisdiction.  Each party shall promptly deliver notice to the other parties in the event it receives a notice from a Governmental Authority regarding any such Transaction Tax.  In addition, in the event a Governmental Authority commences an audit in respect of any such Transaction Taxes, the Sellers and the Buyer shall cooperate to produce documentation to support that the Transaction Tax was satisfied or arose from a transaction that is nontaxable.  Each of the Buyer and the Sellers agrees to timely sign and deliver (or to cause to be timely signed and delivered) such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns with respect to, such Transaction Taxes.

(a)           by the mutual written consent of the Sellers and the Buyer;

(b)           by either the Sellers or the Buyer, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to August 31, 2014 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to take

51

any action required to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur prior to such date;

(c)           by the Sellers, if there has been a breach of any covenant or other agreement made by Buyer in this Agreement, or any representation or warranty of the Buyer in this Agreement shall have been untrue or inaccurate or shall have become untrue or inaccurate, in each case which breach, untruth or inaccuracy (i) would give rise to a failure of the condition set forth in Section 7.02(a) (a “Terminating Buyer Breach”) and (ii) has not been (A) waived in writing by the Sellers or (B) cured by the Buyer, within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Sellers of such Terminating Buyer Breach is received by the Buyer (such notice to describe such Terminating Buyer Breach in reasonable detail);

(d)           by the Buyer, if there has been a breach of any covenant or other agreement made by the Sellers in this Agreement, or any representation or warranty of the Sellers in this Agreement shall have been untrue or inaccurate or shall have become untrue or inaccurate (subject to the Sellers’ right to cure as set forth herein), in each case which breach, untruth or inaccuracy (i) would give rise to a failure of the condition set forth in Section 7.03(a) or Section 7.03(b) (a “Terminating Seller Breach”) and (ii) has not been (A) waived in writing by the Buyer or (B) cured by the Sellers, within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Buyer of such Terminating Seller Breach is received by the Sellers (such notice to describe such Terminating Seller Breach in reasonable detail); and

(e)           by the Buyer, pursuant to Section 5.08.

52

privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

53

(d)           any Assumed Liability (including the failure of the Buyer or its Affiliates to perform or in due course pay and discharge any Assumed Liability).

Section 9.04.         Notification of Claims.

(a)           A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure, it being understood that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 9.01 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.  Within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of the Third Party Claim notice (the “Third Party Claim Response Period”), the Indemnifying Party shall give notice to the Indemnified Party, in writing, either acknowledging or denying its obligations to indemnify and defend under this Article IX.

(b)           If, during the Third Party Claim Response Period, the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it acknowledges its obligations to indemnify and defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if such Indemnifying Party gives notice in writing of its election to do so to the Indemnified Party, together with the acknowledgement of its obligations to indemnify, within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim could result in criminal liability of, or equitable remedies against, the Indemnified Party.  If the Indemnifying Party so elects to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense, except as set forth in the following sentence.  An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense if the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence after consultation with the Indemnified Party.  Each party hereto shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, members, officers, agents and employees to, cooperate fully with the other parties hereto in connection with any Third Party Claim.  The Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, without the consent of any Indemnified Party, provided that (i) the settlement or judgment involves only monetary payments, (ii) the Indemnifying Party pays or causes to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment promptly following the effectiveness of such settlement or judgment and (iii) the Indemnifying Party obtains, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete release of any Indemnified Party affected by such Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party does not assume, or is not entitled to assume, the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 9.04(b), the Indemnified Party shall defend such Third Party Claim but shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, that the Indemnified Party may consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, such Third Party Claim if such settlement or judgment includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party and its Affiliates from all liability arising out of such Third Party Claim.  With respect to a Third Party Claim regarding Taxes, the Sellers only have the right to control such Third Party Claim as an Indemnifying Party hereunder if it (x) relates to Taxes attributable to the Business or the Transferred Assets with respect to a taxable period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date or (y) relates to Taxes imposed on the Sellers or their Affiliates, provided that with respect to any Third Party Claim with respect to Transaction Taxes, the Sellers and the Buyer shall jointly control such Third Party Claim and shall share equally in any direct costs and expenses incurred by the parties with respect thereto.

(c)           In the event that an Indemnified Party determines that it has a claim pursuant to Section 9.04(a) that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the amount of such claim (if known or reasonably capable of estimation) and any relevant facts and circumstances

55

relating thereto.  The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable access to its books and records, properties, assets, personnel, agents and advisors for the purpose of allowing the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to verify any such claim.  The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall negotiate in good faith regarding the resolution of any disputed claims of liability.  Promptly following the final determination of the amount of any disputed claims by agreement between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or pursuant to a final, non-appealable order or judgment regarding such disputed claims that has been entered in a court of competent jurisdiction, the Indemnifying Party promptly shall pay the amount of any such finally determined liability to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer or check made payable to the order of the Indemnified Party.

Section 9.05.         Exclusive Remedies.  The Sellers and the Buyer acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of Sections 9.02 and 9.03 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of any Buyer Indemnified Party and any TCCC Indemnified Party, respectively, for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that it may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with, any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by the Buyer or the Sellers, respectively, or any failure by the Buyer or a Seller, respectively, to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement set forth herein, except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

Section 9.06.         Additional Indemnification Provisions.

(a)           The Sellers and the Buyer agree, for themselves and on behalf of their respective Affiliates and Representatives, that with respect to the indemnification obligations in this Agreement: (i) all Losses shall be net of any third-party insurance proceeds which have been recovered by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification; (ii) in no event shall the Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, lost profits or similar items (including loss of revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to a breach or alleged breach hereof) unless any such damages or items are awarded to a third party in a Third Party Claim, provided that this Section 9.06(a)(ii) shall not limit or restrict in any way the right or ability of an Indemnified Party to recover damages that are direct and reasonably foreseeable; and (iii) so long as such party has complied with its obligations under Section 2.02, no party shall have the obligation to indemnify any other Person with respect to any Losses to the extent relating to any failure by the parties to obtain the consent of any Person required in an Assumed Contract (other than in the event where such Assumed Contract is a Material Contract that the Sellers failed to identify as requiring consent or notice on Section 3.12(a) of the Disclosure Schedule) as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

(b)           In addition to, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, the Sellers and the Buyer agree, for themselves and on behalf of their respective Affiliates and Representatives, that the Sellers shall have no liability to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party under this

56

Agreement with respect to any Losses (i) to the extent such Losses are included in the Assumed Liabilities reflected on the Final Amounts Schedule or would be duplicative of amounts paid by the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 5.14, or (ii) to the extent such Losses are caused by or result from any action (A) that after the date hereof the Buyer requests the Sellers to take or refrain from taking in writing pursuant to Section 5.01 (other than actions the Sellers are already obligated to take or refrain from taking under this Agreement), (B) taken pursuant to a written consent from the Buyer specifically authorizing such action, but only as long as the Sellers’ request for written consent to such action was not related to curing a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of a Seller hereunder, or (C) that the Sellers or any of their Affiliates, having sought the Buyer’s consent pursuant to Section 5.01, did not take as a result of the Buyer having unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned the requested consent, other than, in the case of clauses (A) and (B), any such Losses constituting costs and expenses specifically and intentionally incurred by the Sellers to take any such action requested by the Buyer and agreed to by the Sellers.

Section 9.07.         Mitigation.  Each of the parties hereto agrees to take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

Section 9.08.         Third Party Recovery.  If the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the TCCC Indemnified Parties recover any amounts in respect of Losses from any third party at any time after the Buyer or the Sellers, as applicable, have paid all or a portion of such Losses to the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the TCCC Indemnified Parties, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, the Buyer or the Sellers, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Buyer Indemnified Parties or TCCC Indemnified Parties, as applicable, to promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of receipt) pay over to the Buyer or to the Sellers, as applicable, the amount so received (to the extent previously paid by the Buyer or the Sellers, as applicable).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) any amendments of or supplements to the Disclosure Schedule delivered by the Sellers pursuant to the first two (2) sentences of Section 5.08 and (y) the Closing Financial Information may be delivered by email only, and such delivery by email will be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 10.02, without the requirement that notice also be provided by facsimile transmission or in any other format or medium; provided, that the delivery of such information by email only shall not be deemed effective until the Buyer has confirmed its receipt of the same; and provided, further, that, upon such receipt, the Buyer will be obligated to provide, and shall provide, such confirmation.

Section 10.03.      Public Announcements.  No party or Affiliate of such party shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or public announcement or otherwise communicate with any news media in respect of this Agreement or the Companion Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the prior written consent of the Sellers and the Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except as may be required by Law or stock exchange rules, in which the case the party required to publish such press release or public announcement shall allow the other parties a reasonable opportunity to comment on such press release or public announcement in advance of such publication.

Section 10.04.      Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.05.      Entire Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and therein, this Agreement (together with the exhibits and schedules hereto) and the Companion Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the Sellers and the Buyer with respect to the acquisition of the Business by the Buyer and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between or on behalf of the Sellers and the Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to the acquisition of the Business by the Buyer.

Section 10.06.      Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement, may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that the Sellers may assign any or all of their rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of their Affiliates, but only to the extent that such assignment would not result in an impairment of the Buyer’s rights under this Agreement; and provided, further, that the Buyer may, without the prior written consent of the Sellers, assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one (1) or more of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.  No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 10.07.      No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except as provided in Article IX with respect to TCCC Indemnified Parties and Buyer Indemnified Parties, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.09.      Disclosure Schedule.  Any disclosure with respect to a Section or Schedule of this Agreement shall be deemed to be disclosed for other Sections and Schedules of this Agreement to the extent that such disclosure sets forth facts in sufficient detail so that the relevance of such disclosure with respect to such other Sections or Schedules would be reasonably apparent to a reader of such disclosure.  Matters reflected in any Section of this Agreement, including any Section of the Disclosure Schedule, are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be so reflected. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature.  No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in any Section or Schedule of this Agreement shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in this Agreement.

Section 10.10.      Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.

(a)           This Agreement and the Companion Agreements (and any claims, causes of action or disputes that may be based upon, arise out of or relate hereto or thereto, to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, to the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof, or to the inducement of any party to enter herein and therein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise) shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, in each

60

case without reference to any conflict of Law rules that might lead to the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b)           Each of the parties hereto agrees that, except to the extent set forth otherwise in the Companion Agreements, any claims, causes of action or disputes that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Companion Agreements, to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, to the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof, or to the inducement of any party to enter herein and therein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise, shall be resolved only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the District of Delaware and the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from such courts (the “Delaware Courts”).  In that context, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i)            submits for itself and its property in any Action relating to this Agreement and the Companion Agreements, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such Action shall be heard and determined in the Delaware Courts;

(ii)           consents that any such Action may and shall be brought in the Delaware Courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of any such Action in the Delaware Courts or that such Action was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

61

CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (c) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (d) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

Section 10.12.      Bulk Sales Laws.  The Buyer and the Sellers each hereby waive compliance by the Sellers with the provisions of the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar laws of any state or any jurisdiction within or outside the United States.

Section 10.13.      Specific Performance.  Each party acknowledges and agrees that the breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other parties hereto and that no party hereto would have an adequate remedy at law.  Therefore, the obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement, including the Sellers’ obligation to sell the Transferred Assets to the Buyer, and the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement, including the Buyer’s obligation to purchase and acquire the Transferred Assets from the Sellers, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith.  Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 10.14.      Rules of Construction.  Interpretation of this Agreement and the Companion Agreements shall be governed by the following rules of construction: (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (b) references to the terms Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and Schedule are references to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules of or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (c) the terms “hereof”, “herein”, “hereby”, “hereto”, and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule, Annexes and Exhibits hereto; (d) references to “dollars” or “$” mean United States dollars; (e) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement means including without limitation, unless otherwise specified; (f) the word “or” shall not be exclusive; (g) references to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form; (h) each of the parties hereto has participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and, if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening any party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions in this Agreement; (i) a reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and permitted assigns; (j) any reference to days means calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified; and (k) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded, and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 10.15.      Counterparts.  This Agreement and the Companion Agreements may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, and by the different parties to each such agreement 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.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or the Companion Agreements by

III.      GRANT BY CCR OF RIGHTS, AND OBLIGATIONS OF BOTTLER  TO DISTRIBUTE, PROMOTE, MARKET, AND SELL

1.                   In consideration of payment by Bottler to CCR on a quarterly basis of the Sub-bottling Payment calculated in accordance with Schedule 1, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, (a) CCR hereby appoints Bottler as the sole and exclusive distributor of Covered Beverages and Related Products under the Trademarks for sale in and throughout the Territory (except as may be provided in this Agreement), and (b) in furtherance of such appointment, CCR hereby authorizes  Bottler, and Bottler undertakes, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to purchase from Company (directly or through CCR or another Company Affiliate) or a Company Authorized Supplier, the Covered Beverages and Related Products, and to distribute, promote, market, and sell such Covered Beverages and Related Products under the Trademarks in and throughout, but only in and throughout, the Territory.

2.                   Except as may be provided in this Agreement or as provided by the other party’s prior written consent, neither Company, CCR,  nor any other of Company’s Affiliates will sell or distribute, or authorize any other party to sell or distribute, Covered Beverages or Related Products in the Territory; and Bottler will not authorize any wholesalers or other distributors to sell or distribute, within or outside the Territory, Covered Beverages or Related Products supplied to Bottler under the Finished Goods Supply Agreement; provided, however, that Bottler may sell Covered Beverages and Related Products supplied to Bottler under the Finished Goods Supply Agreement to Full Line Operators in the Territory for further distribution of such Covered Beverages and Related Products by such Full Line Operators in the Territory.

7

a.      Company reserves the right to market, promote, distribute and sell, or authorize others to market, promote, distribute and sell, in the Territory (i) any Covered Beverage, Related Product, or other product that is identified through the Governance Process as an “Alternate Route to Market Beverage,” and (ii) any Covered Beverage, Related Product or other product in any sales channel or to any customer that is identified by the Governance Process as an “Alternate Route to Market Channel” or “Alternate Route to Market Customer.”  The exception to Paragraph 2 for an Alternate Route to Market Beverage, Alternate Route to Market Channel or Alternate Route to Market Customer will apply only to the extent and for the time period determined and specified by Governance Process.

b.      Company and Bottler acknowledge that the sale of certain Covered Beverages or Related Products to certain customers or distributors in the Territory may be required under pre-existing contractual commitments as identified on Schedule 2, and Company and Bottler agree that such sale or distribution may continue until the expiration of such contractual commitments (but neither Company nor any of its Affiliates will exercise any voluntary rights to extend or renew the term of any such contractual commitments, and, if an agreement provides for automatic renewal, Company will use good faith efforts to provide a notice of termination rather than allow the agreement to automatically renew, if Company may do so without breaching the agreement or incurring any penalties).

c.       Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 2, Company and Bottler agree that once an Incubation Beverage ceases to meet the criteria for Incubation Beverage (i.e., by achieving sales volume nationally of at least twelve (12) million physical cases and annual sales revenue of at least $100 million USD in the immediately preceding 12 month period), such beverage will be treated as a New Beverage Product subject to the provisions of Paragraph 5 of this Agreement. To facilitate this transition, Company and Bottler will, as applicable (i) terminate (without compensation or liability to one another) any agreement relating to the distribution, promotion, marketing, or sale of such beverage binding only Company (or one of its Affiliates) and Bottler; or (ii) negotiate in good faith, on terms mutually agreeable to Company and Bottler, the termination of any such agreement binding on any party other than Company (or one of its Affiliates) and Bottler.

3.                   If Bottler identifies any Beverage offered by a third party in a beverage category for which there is likely substantial demand in the Territory and in which category Company does not have a current or proposed entry, Company will, at Bottler’s request, evaluate such Beverage, and may, in Company’s sole discretion, negotiate a licensing or other business arrangement with such third party that would facilitate distribution and sale of such Beverage in the Territory on terms acceptable to Company and Bottler.

4.                   Company has the sole and exclusive right and discretion to reformulate any of the Covered Beverages or Related Products.

5.                   If Company or any Affiliate of Company proposes to sell or distribute, or authorize the sale or distribution of, any New Beverage Product in the Territory:

8

a.      Any such New Beverage Product will be offered by Company in writing to Bottler (which notice must specify if such New Beverage Product is a Multiple Route to Market Beverage), and Bottler will have the option to market, promote, distribute and sell such New Beverage Product in the Territory pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Bottler’s option under this Paragraph 5(a) must be exercised by Bottler, if at all, by giving Company written notice of such election within sixty (60) days following the date on which Company notifies Bottler in writing that Company intends to introduce the New Beverage Product in the Territory and provides Bottler with an operating plan for, and samples of, the New Beverage Product. If Bottler gives Company timely notice of Bottler’s exercise of such option with respect to a New Beverage Product within such sixty (60) day period, then, in the case of a new Beverage, Exhibit A will be deemed automatically amended by adding such new Beverage to the list of Covered Beverages set forth on Exhibit A, and, in the case of a new Related Product, Exhibit F will be deemed automatically amended by adding such new Related Product to the list of Related Products set forth on Exhibit F.  If the new Beverage or new Related Product is a Multiple Route to Market Beverage, then that will be indicated on Exhibit A or Exhibit F, as the case may be. If Bottler does not give Company timely notice of Bottler’s exercise of such option within such period, then Company will have the right to market, promote, distribute and sell or authorize others to market, promote, distribute and sell, in the Territory and otherwise undertake any activity with respect to that New Beverage Product, including use of the Trademarks in connection with the distribution, promotion, marketing, and sale of the New Beverage Product in the Territory.  If a New Beverage Product is not owned by Company, then the parties may enter into a separate agreement with respect to the distribution and sale of that New Beverage Product in the Territory. If the Company’s written notice of the New Beverage Product failed to specify that such New Beverage Product is a Multiple Route to Market Beverage and such New Beverage Product becomes a Covered Beverage or Related Product, then the Company may not thereafter elect to designate the Covered Beverage or Related Product as a Multiple Route to Market Beverage.

b.      If Company or one of its Affiliates acquires or licenses a New Beverage Product that becomes a Covered Beverage or Related Product under this Paragraph 5, then Bottler’s rights to market, promote, distribute and sell such new Covered Beverage or Related Product will be subject to the terms of any agreements with third parties (including distribution agreements) that may be in effect as of the time that Company (or Company’s Affiliate) acquires or licenses the new Covered Beverage or the new Related Product.  Company and Bottler will, as applicable, (i) terminate (without compensation or liability to one another) any agreement relating to the distribution, promotion, marketing or sale of such New Beverage Product binding only Company (or one of its Affiliates) and Bottler (or one of its Affiliates), or (ii) negotiate in good faith, on terms mutually agreeable to Company and Bottler, the termination of any such agreement binding on any party other than Company (or one of its Affiliates) and Bottler (or one of its Affiliates).

c.       Bottler and Company acknowledge that a New Beverage Product may constitute a Multiple Route to Market Beverage if Company provides timely written notice of such designation as contemplated under Paragraph 5(a).  Bottler will be the sole and exclusive

9

distributor of the Multiple Route to Market Beverage via Direct Store Delivery in the Territory.  However, Company may also distribute the Multiple Route to Market Beverage in the Territory via means other than Direct Store Delivery if it has given timely notice under Paragraph 5(a) that such New Beverage Product is a Multiple Route to Market Beverage, and Company may authorize third parties to distribute the Multiple Route to Market Beverage in the Territory via means other than Direct Store Delivery.

6.                   Company has the sole and exclusive right and discretion to discontinue, on a temporary or permanent basis, any of the Covered Beverages or Related Products under this Agreement provided (i) any such Covered Beverage is discontinued for all Expanding Participating Bottlers in the United States, and (ii) Company does not discontinue all Covered Beverages under this Agreement.  If Company discontinues all SKUs and packages of any Covered Beverage, Exhibit A will be deemed automatically amended by deleting the discontinued Covered Beverage from the list of Covered Beverages.  If Company discontinues all SKUs and packages of any Related Product, Exhibit F will be deemed automatically amended by deleting the discontinued Related Product from the list of Related Products.  This right must be exercised by Company, if at all, by giving ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Bottler of such discontinuation. If Company discontinues a Covered Beverage or Related Product as contemplated under this Paragraph 6, then Bottler will have the right to continue to market, promote, distribute and sell unused inventories of the discontinued Covered Beverage or Related Product in the Territory in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement for a period not to exceed the earlier of the expiration date of such Covered Beverage or Related Product or six (6) months following Bottler’s receipt of written notice of the discontinuation of such Covered Beverage or Related Product.  If Company proposes to reintroduce any such discontinued Covered Beverage or Related Product (or reintroduce a Line Extension of a Covered Beverage that is a discontinued Covered Beverage) through any channel of retail distribution and sale in the United States of America, such product shall first be offered to the Bottler under Paragraph 5 (except that such Beverage may not be designated by Company as a Multiple Route to Market Beverage under Paragraph 5(c)).  If Company discontinues any Covered Beverage or Related Product and Company or one of its Affiliates subsequently wishes to transfer, assign or sell its rights in and to such discontinued Covered Beverage or Related Product (a “Transfer”) to a third party (a “Transferee”) within twelve (12) months following the date which is the later of (x) the date on which Company (through a Company Owned Distributor or otherwise) ceases distribution of a Covered Beverage or Related Product in all SKUs and packages and through all means of distribution, or (y) the expiration of the six (6) month period Bottler has to sell unused inventories of the discontinued Covered Beverage or Related Product, then Company (or its Affiliate) must first offer such discontinued Covered Beverage or Related Product to Bottler under Paragraph 5, and if Bottler elects to continue distributing such discontinued Covered Beverage or Related Product, then Company (or its Affiliate) must Transfer such discontinued Covered Beverage or Related Product to the Transferee subject to Bottler’s distribution rights under this Agreement with respect to such discontinued Covered Beverage or Related Product (as if the Covered Beverage or Related Product had not been discontinued), and Bottler’s distribution rights with respect to the discontinued Covered Beverage or Related Product will be binding upon the Transferee.

10

7.                   Bottler has the right to discontinue the distribution and sale, on a temporary or permanent basis, in all of the Territory, of any Covered Beverage or Related Product (or any Line Extension, SKU or package for a Covered Beverage or Related Product).  This right must be exercised by Bottler, if at all, by giving ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Company of such discontinuation, specifying that the notice of discontinuation applies to all of the Territory.  Upon expiration of such ninety (90) day period, Bottler may cease the distribution, promotion, marketing, and sale of the discontinued Covered Beverage or Related Product (or Line Extension, SKU or package for a Covered Beverage or Related Product) in all of the Territory, and, if Bottler is discontinuing distribution of all Line Extensions, SKUs and packages of a Covered Beverage or Related Product, Exhibit A or Exhibit F will be deemed automatically amended by deleting the discontinued Covered Beverage or Related Product from the list of Covered Beverages or Related Products, as applicable, set forth on Exhibit A or Exhibit F.  If (and only if) Bottler discontinues all Line Extensions, SKUs and packages of a Covered Beverage or Related Product, Company may distribute and sell the discontinued Covered Beverage or Related Product in the Territory or authorize any of its Affiliates or others to do so.  Further, Bottler has the right to discontinue the distribution and sale of any Line Extension, SKU or package in any portion of the Territory without providing prior written notice to Company, and Company may not distribute or sell the discontinued Line Extension, SKU or package in the Territory or authorize any of its Affiliates or others to do so unless Bottler has discontinued all Line Extensions, SKUs and packages of the Covered Beverage or Related Product.  If Bottler discontinues some (but not all) Line Extensions, SKUs or packages for a Covered Beverage or Related Product, then Bottler may thereafter reinstate the discontinued Line Extension, SKU or package.

8.                   Bottler recognizes that Company has entered into or may enter into agreements relating to the Covered Beverages and Related Products with other parties outside the Territory, and Bottler accepts the territorial limitations in this Agreement imposed on Bottler in the conduct of its business under this Agreement.  Bottler further agrees to make every reasonable effort to amicably settle any disputes that arise with such other parties.

9.                   Bottler must not distribute or sell any Covered Beverages or Related Products supplied to Bottler under the Finished Goods Supply Agreement outside of the Territory.  Bottler must not sell any of such Covered Beverages or Related Products to any Person if Bottler knows or should know that such Person will redistribute the Covered Beverages or Related Products for ultimate sale outside the Territory.

a.               If any of such Covered Beverages or Related Products distributed or sold by Bottler are found in the territory of another authorized bottler, including a Company Owned Distributor (the “Injured Bottler”), then Bottler shall be deemed to have transshipped such Covered Beverage or Related Product and shall be deemed to be a “Transshipping Bottler” for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Injured Bottler (other than a Company Owned Distributor) has not agreed to terms substantially similar to this Paragraph 9 with respect to the transshipment of Covered Beverages or Related Products, Bottler shall only be deemed to be a “Transshipping Bottler” if Bottler knew or should have known that the purchaser would redistribute the Covered Beverage or Related Product

11

outside of the Territory prior to ultimate sale.  If any Covered Beverages or Related Products (or any other products identified by the primary Trademark that also identifies any of the Covered Beverages or Related Products or any modification of such Trademark (i.e., the addition of a prefix, suffix or other modifier used in conjunction with any such Trademark)) distributed or sold by another authorized bottler (including a Company Owned Distributor) are found in Bottler’s Territory, then Bottler shall be referred to herein as the “Injured Bottler” and such other authorized bottler shall be referred to herein as the “Transshipping Bottler”; provided, however, that if the bottler that distributed or sold such products (other than a Company Owned Distributor) has not agreed to terms substantially similar to this Paragraph 9 with respect to the transshipment of Company’s products, Bottler will only be deemed to be an “Injured Bottler” if such bottler knew or should have known that the purchaser would redistribute the products outside of such bottler’s territory prior to ultimate sale.  If Company does not have sufficient contractual rights to fully implement the transshipping remedies provided for in this Paragraph 9, Company will nevertheless use reasonable efforts to enforce its transshipping policy against the transshipping bottler to (i) prevent future transshipments, and (ii) cause the transshipping bottler to compensate Bottler to the extent possible.  Bottler will only be an Injured Bottler if the product transshipped into Bottler’s Territory is a Covered Beverage or Related Product (or any other product that is identified by the primary Trademark that also identifies any of the Covered Beverages or Related Products or any modification of such trademark (i.e., the addition of a prefix, suffix or other modifier used in conjunction with any such trademark)).

b.               In addition to all other remedies Company may have against Transshipping Bottler for violation of this Paragraph 9, Company, in the case where both the Transshipping Bottler and the Injured Bottler are Expanding Participating Bottlers (or an Expanding Participating Bottler and a Company Owned Distributor), will use commercially reasonable good faith efforts, and in all other cases, may determine, in its sole discretion, to:

i.                       (A) charge any Transshipping Bottler an amount equal to three times the Injured Bottler’s most current average gross profit margin per case for all cases sold across all channels of the Covered Beverage or Related Product transshipped, as reasonably estimated by Company.  Injured Bottler shall provide Company with any supporting documentation as reasonably requested by Company; or (B) purchase any of the Covered Beverages or Related Products distributed or sold by Transshipping Bottler found in the Injured Bottler’s territory, and Transshipping Bottler will, in addition to any other obligation it may have under this Agreement, reimburse Company for Company’s cost of purchasing, transporting and/or destroying such Covered Beverages or Related Products; and

ii.                    require Transshipping Bottler and/or Injured Bottler, as the case may be, to make available to representatives of Company all sales agreements and other records relating to the Covered Beverages or Related Products and assist Company in all investigations relating to the sale and distribution of Covered Beverages or Related

12

Products outside Transshipping Bottler’s Territory or to the transshipment of products by another bottler into Injured Bottler’s Territory.

c.               Bottler, CCR, and Company acknowledge and agree that the amounts provided for under Paragraph 9(b) reasonably reflect the damages to Company, the Injured Bottler, and the Coca-Cola system.  Transshipping Bottler must promptly pay to Company all amounts charged pursuant to this Paragraph 9.  The Injured Bottler will be paid when Company has received payment from Transshipping Bottler and will be paid an amount not less than seventy percent (70%) of the amount recovered by Company from the Transshipping Bottler under Paragraph 9(b)(i). Company has the right to collect any amounts payable by Transshipping Bottler under this Paragraph 9 by offset against any undisputed amounts otherwise payable to Transshipping Bottler by Company.

d.              Bottler must create, implement and monitor an internal anti-transshipment compliance policy and will provide such policy to Company for review and approval.  Company will have the right to audit Bottler’s compliance with the policy.

e.               If Company determines that a customer of Bottler has repeatedly transshipped Covered Beverages or Related Products supplied to Bottler under the Finished Goods Supply Agreement outside of the Territory, Company may require that Bottler develop and implement a remediation plan that will address and resolve the issue.  Bottler will submit the remediation plan to Company for review and approval, and, once approved by Company, Bottler will implement the plan.

10.            Company has the unrestricted right, in its sole discretion, to use the Trademarks on the Covered Beverages and Related Products and on all other products and merchandise, to determine which Trademarks will be used on which Covered Beverages and Related Products, and to determine how the Trademarks will be displayed and used on and in connection with the Covered Beverages and Related Products.

11.            Company reserves all rights not expressly granted to Bottler under this Agreement or Related Agreements.

12.            If Company or a Company Affiliate on or after December 31, 2013 (a) enters into a new authorization agreement with respect to territories in the United States of America with another Expanding Participating Bottler that is more favorable to such other Expanding Participating Bottler than the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any material respect, or (b) agrees to an amendment of the terms of an existing authorization agreement with respect to territories in the United States with another Expanding Participating Bottler that is more favorable to such other Expanding Participating Bottler than the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any material respect, then Company will offer such other new agreement or amended agreement, as the case may be, in its entirety, to Bottler.  The parties agree to cooperate in taking such other actions as may reasonably be required to further document any amendments and modifications resulting from the foregoing.  The foregoing obligation shall not apply to any consent, waiver or approval provided under this Agreement or under any agreement held by another Expanding Participating Bottler. If CCR grants to

13

Bottler after the Effective Date the rights to distribute, promote, market, and sell Covered Beverages and Related Products under the Trademarks in additional geographic territories under the terms of a different form of agreement, this Agreement shall be amended and restated in the form of the agreement reflecting such additional grant.

IV.       GRANT BY CCR OF SUBLICENSE TO USE THE TRADEMARKS AND OBLIGATIONS OF BOTTLER RELATIVE TO THE TRADEMARKS AND OTHER MATTERS

13.            Bottler acknowledges and agrees that Company is the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, title and interest in and to the Trademarks.  Bottler agrees not to dispute the validity of the Trademarks or their exclusive ownership by Company either during the Term or thereafter, notwithstanding any applicable doctrines of licensee estoppel.  CCR grants to Bottler only an exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Trademarks, solely in connection with the distribution, promotion, marketing, and sale of the Covered Beverages and Related Products in the Territory, and in accordance with standards adopted and issued by Company from time to time, and made available to Bottler through written, electronic, on-line or other form or media, subject to the rights reserved to Company under this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement, nor any act or failure to act by Bottler, CCR or Company, will give Bottler any proprietary or ownership interest of any kind in the Trademarks or in the goodwill associated therewith.  CCR and Bottler acknowledge and agree that all use by Bottler of the Trademarks will inure to the benefit of Company.

14.            Bottler covenants and agrees (subject to any requirements imposed upon Bottler under applicable law):

a.                   Not to produce, manufacture, prepare, package, distribute, sell, deal in or otherwise use or handle:

i.                       any Beverage, Beverage Component or other beverage product which is likely to be confused with or passed off for any of the Covered Beverages or Related Products or for any Beverage Component for any Covered Beverage or Related Product;

ii.                    during the Term and for an additional period of two years following expiration or termination of this Agreement, (A) any Beverage, Beverage Component or other beverage product the name of which includes the word “cola” (whether alone or in conjunction with any other word or words) or any phonetic equivalent thereof, or (B) any Beverage, Beverage Component or other beverage product that is an imitation of any of the Covered Beverages or Related Products (or of any Beverage Component for any Covered Beverage or Related Product) as of the expiration or termination of this Agreement or is likely to be substituted for any of such Covered Beverages or Related Products (or for any such Beverage Component) in the Territory;

iii.                 any product that uses any trade dress or any container that (A) is an imitation, infringement or dilution of, or (B) is likely to be confused with, be perceived by
