2.6    Consents.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, assign, transfer, convey or deliver any Purchased Asset or any benefit arising under or resulting from such Purchased Asset if the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery thereof, without the Consent of a third party, (i) would constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of such third party, (ii) would be ineffective with respect to any party to a Contract concerning such Purchased Asset, or (iii) would, upon transfer, in any way

17

adversely affect the rights of Buyer under such Purchased Asset. If the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery by any Seller Party to, or any assumption by Buyer of, any interest in, or Liability under, any Purchased Asset requires the Consent of a third party, then such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, delivery or assumption shall be subject to such Consent being obtained. Without limiting Section 2.6(b), to the extent any Assumed Contract may not be assigned to Buyer by reason of the absence of any such Consent (each, a “Restricted Contract”), Buyer shall not be required to assume any Assumed Liabilities arising under such Restricted Contract. Notwithstanding the failure to obtain prior to the Closing any Consent with respect to any Restricted Contract or any other Purchased Asset, subject to Article IX, the Closing shall occur without any adjustment to the Purchase Price on account thereof.

(b)    To the extent that any Consent in respect of a Restricted Contract or any other Purchased Asset shall not have been obtained on or before the Closing Date, following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain any such required Consent or any release, substitution or amendment required to novate all Liabilities under any and all Assumed Contracts or other Liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements, so that Buyer shall be solely responsible for such Liabilities after the Closing Date. As soon as a Consent for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, delivery or assumption of a Restricted Contract or other Purchased Asset is obtained, Seller shall promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Restricted Contract or Purchased Asset to Buyer for no additional consideration.

(c)    To the extent that any Restricted Contract or other Purchased Asset and/or Assumed Liability cannot be transferred to Buyer following the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.6, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such arrangements (such as subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to Buyer the economic and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, operational equivalent of the transfer of such Restricted Contract or other Purchased Asset and/or Assumed Liability to Buyer as of the Closing Date and the performance by Buyer of its obligations with respect thereto. Buyer shall, as agent or subcontractor for Seller or the applicable Seller Subsidiary, pay, perform and discharge fully the Liabilities of the applicable Seller Party thereunder from and after the Closing Date. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, the Seller Parties shall hold in trust for and pay to Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof such Purchased Asset and all income, proceeds and other monies received by the Seller Parties to the extent related to such Purchased Asset in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.6; provided that the Seller Parties shall be permitted to set off against such amounts all Liabilities that Buyer is required to pay, perform or discharge in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence and any direct costs associated with the retention and maintenance of such Purchased Assets.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.6 shall not apply to any consent or approval required under any Competition Law, which consent or approval shall be governed by Section 7.6. Nothing in this Section 2.6, including any arrangement for Buyer to be provided with any of the benefits of any Purchased Asset, shall constitute a waiver of Buyer’s rights under Article IX unless and until Buyer either provides written waivers thereof or elects to proceed to consummate the Transactions at the Closing.

ARTICLE III

PURCHASE PRICE.

3.1    Purchase Price.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, in consideration of the sale of the Purchased Assets, in addition to the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall, or shall cause its relevant Affiliate to, pay to Seller (or its designees, including one or more of the Seller Subsidiaries), an aggregate amount in cash equal to (a) the Base Purchase Price, plus (b) the amount, if any, by which the Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory or the Final Book Value of the Product Inventory, as the case may be, exceeds the Target Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory, minus (c) the amount, if any, by which the Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory or the Final Book Value of the Product Inventory, as the case may be, is less than the Target Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory, minus (d) the amount of the Accrued Depletion Allowances (the “Purchase Price”).

3.2    Determination of Estimated Purchase Price.

(a)    No later than the tenth (10^th) Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date (i) Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller’s best estimate of the amount of the Accrued Depletion Allowances (including reasonable supporting documentation and calculations), as determined as of the most recent available date in accordance with the illustrative calculation thereof set forth on Schedule 3.2(a)(i) (the “Closing Accrued Depletion Allowances Statement”), and (ii) representatives of Seller and Buyer shall take a physical count and inspection of the Inventory, other than the Bailment Inventory of Seller, in accordance with the Inventory inspection and testing procedures attached hereto as Schedule 3.2(a)(ii) (the “Testing Procedures”). Seller and Buyer shall cooperate reasonably in connection with the Testing Procedures.

(b)    Following such count and inspection, the Parties shall agree in accordance with the Testing Procedures on the results thereof in a written report (the “Agreed Inventory Report”). At the Closing, the Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(i)    the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Accrued Depletion Allowances, as set forth in the Closing Accrued Depletion Allowances Statement;

(ii)    if the Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory as set forth in the Agreed Inventory Report is less than the Target Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory, then the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount by which the Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory is less than the Target Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory;

(iii)    if the Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory as set forth in the Agreed Inventory Report is greater than the Target Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory, then the Base Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount by which the Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory is greater than the Target Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory; and

(iv)    if the Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory as set forth in the Agreed Inventory Report is equal to the Target Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory, then

19

there shall be no adjustment to the Base Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3.2(b).

(c)    If the Parties are unable to complete the Testing Procedures or to agree on the results of the Testing Procedures, in each case, prior to the Closing, then (i) Seller shall deliver its best estimate or determination, as applicable, of the physical count and inspection to Buyer as soon as reasonably possible prior to the Closing, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Inventory Report”), and (ii) the Parties shall cooperate to complete the Testing Procedures as soon as reasonably possible following the Closing, if not completed prior to the Closing. For purposes hereof, the “Estimated Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory” means (x) the aggregate value of the Product Inventory (other than the Bailment Inventory), (i) based on the Estimated Inventory Report, and (ii) valued at the applicable Seller Party’s costs of such Inventories by reference to the unit cost set forth on Schedule 1(a), except as the Parties may otherwise mutually agree, plus (y) the aggregate value of the Bailment Inventory as set forth on the Bailment Reports. At the Closing, the Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(i)    the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Accrued Depletion Allowances, as set forth in the Closing Accrued Depletion Allowances Statement;

(ii)    if the Estimated Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory as set forth in the Estimated Inventory Report is less than the Target Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory, then the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount by which the Estimated Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory is less than the Target Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory;

(iii)    if the Estimated Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory as set forth in the Estimated Inventory Report is greater than the Target Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory, then the Base Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount by which the Estimated Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory is greater than the Target Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory; and

(iv)    if the Estimated Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory as set forth in the Estimated Inventory Report is equal to the Target Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory, then there shall be no adjustment to the Base Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3.2(c).

The Base Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.1, Section 3.2(b) or Section 3.2(c), as the case may be, is referred to herein as the “Estimated Purchase Price”.

3.3    Post-Closing Inventory Adjustment.

(a)    In the event that the Parties determine the Estimated Purchase Price based on the Estimated Inventory Report, then during the five (5) Business Days immediately following the later of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the completion of the Testing Procedures, Seller and Buyer shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to the physical count set forth in the Estimated Inventory Report and if such agreement has not been reached at the end of such five (5) Business Day period, Seller and Buyer shall identify in writing the amount in dispute and shall immediately engage an Independent Accountant to conduct only a physical count

20

of the Inventory, which physical count of the Inventory shall be set forth in a written report delivered to the Parties and shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties and shall be enforceable in a court of law (such report as agreed to by the Parties after the Closing or as completed by the Independent Accountant, is referred to herein as the “Final Physical Inventory Report”). In the event that determination of usability and salability of the Inventory extends past the Closing Date, at such time as the usability and salability of the Inventory is conclusively determined pursuant to the Testing Procedures, such Inventory at the value determined shall be set forth in a written report delivered to both Parties and shall be used, along with the Final Physical Inventory Report, to determine the final Inventory (“Final Inventory Report”). For purposes hereof the “Final Book Value of the Product Inventory” means (i) the value of the Product Inventory (other than the Bailment Inventory) (A) based upon the Final Inventory Report, and (B) valued at the applicable Seller Party’s costs of such Inventories by reference to the unit cost set forth on Schedule 1(a), except as the same may have been revised pursuant to the Testing Procedures and reflected in the Final Inventory Report, plus (ii) the aggregate value of the Bailment Inventory as set forth on the Bailment Reports. Within two (2) Business Days of the Independent Accountant’s delivery of the Final Inventory Report, the Purchase Price shall be further adjusted and payments made, if and as applicable, as follows:

(i)    if the Final Book Value of the Product Inventory as set forth in the Final Inventory Report is greater than the Estimated Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory as set forth in the Estimated Inventory Report, then Buyer shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts of Seller designated to Buyer in writing at least one (1) Business Day in advance of such payment, the amount by which the Final Book Value of the Product Inventory is greater than the Estimated Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory;

(ii)    if the Final Book Value of the Product Inventory as set forth in the Final Inventory Report is less than the Estimated Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory as set forth in the Estimated Inventory Report, then Seller shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts of Buyer designated to Seller in writing at least one (1) Business Day in advance of such payment, the amount by which the Final Book Value of the Product Inventory is less than the Estimated Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory; and

(iii)    if the Final Book Value of the Product Inventory as set forth in the Final Inventory Report is equal to the Estimated Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory as set forth in the Estimated Inventory Report, then there shall be no further adjustment to the Purchase Price and no payment shall be made by either Party pursuant this Section 3.3(a).

(b)    The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant engaged pursuant to this Section 3.3, if any, shall be allocated between Seller, on one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based on the percentage which the portion of the amount contested by a Party that is not awarded to that Party bears to the total amount actually contested by such Party.

(c)    Any payments made pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

3.4    Allocation of Purchase Price.

Subject to any alternative arrangements the Parties may by mutual agreement adopt prior to the Closing, during the Pre-Closing Period and after the Closing, as necessary, the Parties will work

21

cooperatively to select and to jointly engage the Qualified Appraiser and will work together cooperatively to direct the Qualified Appraiser in obtaining valuations of the Brand, the Business and the other Purchased Assets, together with the assets purchased in any related transactions for purposes of Section 1060 of the Code, if any. Upon completion of such valuation, the Qualified Appraiser shall deliver to each of the Parties (a) a copy of their appraisal report (the “Appraisal Report”), and (b) a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (including any Assumed Liabilities treated as consideration for the Purchased Assets for Tax purposes) based on the valuations of the Brand, the Business, the other Purchased Assets and any assets purchased in any related transactions (as set forth in the Appraisal Report) and prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Qualified Appraiser to deliver the Appraisal Report and the Allocation Schedule to the Parties within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. The Allocation Schedule shall be deemed final unless either Party notifies the other Party in writing that such Party objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Allocation Schedule to the Parties (the “Objection Period”). In the event of any such objection, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days of the end of the Objection Period (the “Allocation Negotiation Period”), such dispute shall be finally resolved by the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Qualified Appraiser and the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. Seller shall deliver to Buyer an IRS Form 8594 prepared in accordance with the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days of the end of the Objection Period or the Allocation Negotiation Period, as the case may be, which IRS Form 8594 shall be subject to Buyer’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld (and provided that Buyer shall have been deemed to have approved such IRS Form 8594 as prepared by Seller if Buyer fails to deliver a written objection thereto to Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof). Seller and Buyer agree to file such IRS Form 8594, as prepared by Seller and approved (or deemed to have been approved) by Buyer, and to file all federal, state, local and/or foreign, as applicable, Tax Returns in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, provided that nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer or Seller from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation Schedule, and neither Buyer nor Seller shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax authority challenging such Allocation Schedule. If any payment is treated as an adjustment of the Purchase Price, the Allocation Schedule shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4. If Seller or Buyer is required to file a Tax Return concerning the Allocation Schedule before the Independent Accountant has resolved any disputed items (taking into account valid extensions of time within which to file, which shall be sought to the extent necessary to permit the resolution of disputed items), such disputed items shall be reflected on such Tax Return based on the Allocation Schedule prepared by the Qualified Appraiser, and shall be amended if necessary to reflect the determination of the Independent Accountant with respect to the disputed items.

ARTICLE VII

COVENANTS.

The Parties hereby make the following covenants:

7.1    Conduct of the Business Prior to the Closing.

(a)    During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Period”), except as (i) otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (ii) set forth on Schedule 7.1(a), or (iii) required by any Law or Order applicable to Seller, the Purchased Assets or operation of the Business, Seller shall, and shall cause the Seller Subsidiaries to (A) perform in all material respects those activities set forth on (and in accordance with the timeframes described in) Schedule 7.1(a)-2, (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects, including with respect to maintaining and preserving the Purchased Assets (including distribution and promotion of the Brand consistent in all material respects with the Seller Parties’ past practices, maintaining inventory levels for the Brand that are normal for the time of year (taking into account product sales during the twelve (12) month period

37

preceding the date of this Agreement), maintaining consistent pricing for the Products and foregoing any exceptional promotional or clearance activities) and relationships with customers, suppliers and others having material business dealings with the Business and (C) if any event, occurrence or circumstance occurs or worsens during the Pre-Closing Period which limits or otherwise adversely impacts the Seller Parties’ respective production or operational capabilities, not give preference to the production of products or inventory for brands of the Seller Parties (not taking into account the Brand) over the production of products or inventory for the Brand. During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with past practice to protect, enforce, maintain and avoid abandonment of or damage to the Business Intellectual Property. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Buyer’s contact with any Distributor, vendor, supplier or customer of the Business affects the Seller Parties’ ability to operate the Business in compliance with this Section 7.1(a), such deviation shall not be deemed to be a breach of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.1(a).

(b)    During the Pre-Closing Period, neither Seller nor any of the Seller Subsidiaries (nor any third party acting at Seller’s or any Seller Subsidiary’s direction or with their consent) shall: (i) transfer, assign or grant any license or sublicense (other than non-exclusive licenses or sublicenses granted in the ordinary course of business) of any rights under or with respect to, or any encumbrance upon, any of the Business Intellectual Property or allow the abandonment or lapse of any right relating to the Business Intellectual Property; (ii) create, assume or permit to exist any new Encumbrances on the Brand, the Business or any of the Purchased Assets, other than Permitted Encumbrances; (iii) except for any Purchased Asset that is obsolete or which is not material to the Brand, the Business or the Purchased Assets, sell, lease, license or otherwise transfer any of the Purchased Assets, or cancel any of their rights or claims, other than in the ordinary course of business for fair and adequate consideration; or (iv) grant to any third party, or otherwise allow any third party to acquire, any license (other than non-exclusive licenses or sublicenses granted in the ordinary course of business), right, title or interest in or to any of the Business Intellectual Property.

(c)    The Parties acknowledge that Buyer intends to establish new trade names/fictitious business names referencing the Brand and the trademarks included in the Business Intellectual Property promptly following the Closing. Seller covenants and agrees that, promptly upon Buyer’s request at any time following the Closing Date, the Seller Parties will amend their respective organizational documents and all public records as necessary to change their entity names to new names unrelated to the Brand, the trademarks included in the Business Intellectual Property and all other trade names, service marks, brand names and other designations of origin included in the Business Intellectual Property.

(d)    Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Buyer, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Business prior to the Closing. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over the Business.

7.2    Access to Purchased Assets.

(a)    During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller shall, and shall cause the Seller Subsidiaries to, continue to provide Buyer and its Representatives with all documents, materials and information reasonably requested by Buyer and reasonable access to the Purchased Assets in order for Buyer to confirm the satisfaction of the Closing conditions set forth in Section 9.2(a). To the

38

extent not already provided to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days prior to the date hereof, Seller will during the Pre-Closing Period, at Buyer’s option, either (i) deliver three (3) 750ml samples of each item of bulk or bottled Product Inventory to Buyer or (ii) provide an opportunity for Buyer to obtain samples of any items of bulk Product Inventory directly from the applicable tanks. All access pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) shall be (A) conducted during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to the Seller Parties, (B) conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the normal operations of the Business or any other business of the Seller Parties, (C) coordinated through ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or a designee thereof and (D) conducted at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and the Seller Parties shall have the right to have one or more of their Representatives present at all times during any access contemplated by this Section 7.2(a). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Seller Parties shall not be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would, in the Seller Parties’ reasonable judgment, (1) jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or other immunity or protection from disclosure of any Seller Party, (2) conflict with any (x) Law (including any Law relating to data protection or privacy) or Order applicable to any Seller Party, the Purchased Assets or operation of the Business, (y) Contract to which any Seller Party is party or by which any of the Purchased Assets or other assets or properties of any Seller Party are bound or (z) other obligation of confidentiality, or (3) result in the disclosure of competitively sensitive information; provided, that if any information is withheld pursuant to this sentence, the applicable Seller Party will (x) inform Buyer as to the general nature of what is being withheld and (y) use its commercially reasonable efforts (1) to accommodate any request from Buyer for information pursuant to this Section 7.2 in a manner that does not result in such a violation or waiver or disclosure of competitively sensitive information or (2) to the extent applicable, to obtain the required consent of the relevant third Person to permit such access or disclosure. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during the Pre-Closing Period, Buyer and its Affiliates and Representatives shall be permitted to (I) contact any Distributor solely regarding the distribution of Products following the Closing; provided, that (A) Seller shall, for a period of five (5) days after the date hereof, have the right to contact each Distributor prior to Buyer contacting any Distributor, (B) Buyer is only permitted to discuss the distribution of Products following the Closing, and (C) Buyer shall not discuss with any such Distributor any anti-competitive information, any details of the Transaction that would be deemed material and that are not otherwise publicly disclosed, including the status of any regulatory approvals, or any confidential information concerning any existing contractual relationship between any of the Seller Parties and any such Distributor, and (II) with the prior written consent of Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), contact any other vendor, supplier or customer of the Business regarding the business or operation of the Business by Buyer following the Closing, in order to, and the Parties shall work collaboratively in good faith to, ensure the smooth transition of the production and distribution of the Products in connection with the consummation of the Transactions; provided that any such contact by Buyer or its Affiliates or Representatives with any such vendor, supplier, Distributor or customer of the Business shall be conducted in a manner that shall not cause any material disruption to the Seller Parties operation of the Business during the Pre-Closing Period or the operation of the Seller Parties’ or their Affiliates respective businesses other than the Business prior to the Closing.

(b)    Any information obtained by Buyer or its Representatives pursuant to Section 7.2(a) shall be deemed to be “Confidential Information” for the purposes of the Transaction Non-Disclosure Agreement and shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Non-Disclosure Agreement, including limitations on disclosure and use.

39

7.3    Notification of Certain Matters.

(a)    During the Pre-Closing Period, each Party shall give prompt notice to the other Party of (i) any fact, event or circumstance known to such Party that individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to such Party, has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Effect (with respect to Seller) or a Buyer Material Adverse Effect (with respect to Buyer), as the case may be, or would cause or constitute a breach of any of such Party’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein, (ii) the failure of any condition precedent to such other Party’s obligations hereunder or any occurrence which, to the Knowledge of Seller or the Knowledge of Buyer, as applicable, is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article IX becoming incapable of being satisfied, (iii) any written notice or other written communication received by such Party from any third party alleging that the consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, (iv) any written notice or other written communication from any Governmental Body received by such Party regarding the consummation of the Transactions, or (v) the commencement of any Legal Proceeding against such Party that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 5.11 (with respect to Seller) or Section 6.6 (with respect to Buyer), as the case may be; provided, however, that (A) the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) shall not limit or otherwise affect any remedies available to the other Party, and (B) disclosure by Seller shall not be deemed to amend or supplement the Seller Disclosure Schedule or prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach of covenant.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Party’s failure to give notice of any occurrence as required pursuant to Section 7.3(a) shall be (i) deemed to be a breach of the covenant contained in Section 7.3(a), but instead shall (if applicable) constitute only a breach of the applicable underlying representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, or (ii) taken into account in determining whether the conditions to Closing set forth in Article IX have been satisfied.

7.4    Efforts to Consummate.

Subject to Section 7.5 and Section 7.6, during the Pre-Closing Period, each of Buyer and Seller shall, and Seller shall cause the Seller Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts (unless, with respect to any action, another standard of performance is expressly provided for herein) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including satisfaction (but not waiver) of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article IX.

7.5    Consents.

During the Pre-Closing Period, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6, each of Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give all notices to, and obtain all Consents (which may be conditioned on the consummation of the Transactions) from, all Persons required pursuant to any Assumed Contract; provided, however, that Seller and its Affiliates shall not have any obligation to (a) amend or modify any Contract, (b) pay any consideration to any Person for the purpose of obtaining any such Consent, (c) relinquish or forbear any rights, or agree to any restriction on the conduct of any business or operations or the ownership or exercise of any assets, properties or rights, or (d) pay any costs or expenses of any Person resulting from the process of obtaining such Consent.

40

7.6    Governmental Approvals; Regulatory Filings.

(a)    Each of the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts (unless, with respect to any action, another standard of performance is expressly provided for herein) to, and the Parties shall work collaboratively to, take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate and make effective in the most expeditious manner possible the Transactions, including (i) the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Transactions, (ii) taking all actions reasonably necessary to obtain (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any third party, including any Governmental Body (which actions will include furnishing all information required under the HSR Act and any other Law relating to antitrust, competition, trade regulation, foreign investment (including the OI Act) or the protection of national security (collectively, “Competition Laws”, provided that in no event shall “Competition Laws” be deemed to include any Law exclusively regarding the regulation of alcoholic beverages) required to be obtained or made by any Party or their Affiliates in connection with the Transactions), and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Additionally, the Parties will each use commercially reasonable efforts to, and will work collaboratively to, fulfill all conditions precedent to this Agreement and will not take any action after the date of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to materially delay the obtaining of, or to result in not obtaining, any permission, approval or consent from any such Governmental Body or third party required to be obtained prior to the Closing.

(b)    Prior to the Closing, the Parties will keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Transactions and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required consents, authorizations, orders or approvals of, or any exemptions by, any Governmental Body, including by working cooperatively in connection with any sales, divestitures or dispositions of assets or businesses if and to the extent undertaken pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.6. In this regard, prior to the Closing, each Party will promptly consult with the other Party to provide any necessary information with respect to (and, in the case of correspondence, provide to the other Party (or their counsel) copies of) all filings made by such Party with any Governmental Body or any other information supplied by such Party to, or correspondence with, a Governmental Body in connection with this Agreement, excluding any confidential financial and/or personal data of such Party and its officers, directors and owners. Each Party will promptly inform the other Party of, and if in writing, furnish the other Party with copies of (or, in the case of material oral communications, advise the other Party orally of) any communication from any Governmental Body regarding any of the Transactions, and permit the other Party to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with, any proposed written (or any material proposed oral) communication with any such Governmental Body. If any Party or any representative of such Party receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Body with respect to the Transactions, then such Party will make, or cause to be made, promptly and after consultation with the other Party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. Buyer will not participate in any meeting with any Governmental Body in connection with this Agreement (or make oral submissions at meetings or in telephone or other conversations) unless it consults with Seller in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by

41

such Governmental Body, gives Representatives of Seller the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting. Each Party will furnish the other Party with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof, but excluding any confidential financial and/or personal data of such Party and its officers, directors and owners) between it and any such Governmental Body with respect to this Agreement, and furnish the other Party with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of necessary filings or submissions of information to any such Governmental Body. The Parties may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other Party under this Section 7.6 as material for “Clean Team Members only.” Such materials and the information contained therein will be given only to (i) designated employees of the Parties and their affiliates and (ii) outside counsel and experts hired by the Parties and their Affiliates (collectively, “Clean Team Members”) and will not be disclosed by such Clean Team Members to any other directors, officers or employees of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials or its legal counsel; provided that materials provided pursuant to this Section 7.6 may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of Seller or Buyer, discussion of the terms or potential terms of the transactions described in this Agreement and the terms of other potential competitive transactions (if any), and otherwise, as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements and as necessary to address reasonable privilege and confidentiality considerations. The terms of the Clean Team Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference as if set forth herein and, notwithstanding the Closing, the Clean Team Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. To the extent that transfers of any permits, licenses and registrations issued by any Governmental Body are required as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such transfers.

(c)    The Parties will use all efforts to, and will work collaboratively to, file, as promptly as practicable but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, or such other date requested by any Governmental Body, notifications under the HSR Act, and the Parties will use all efforts to, and will work collaboratively to, file, as promptly as practicable, any other filings or notifications under any other applicable Competition Laws.

(d)    Buyer and Seller agree to provide such security and assurances as to financial capability, resources and creditworthiness as may be reasonably requested by any Governmental Body or other third party whose consent or approval is sought in connection with the Transactions. Whether or not the Closing occurs, Buyer and Seller agree to share equally the responsibility for all fees and payments (including filing fees and legal and professional fees) to any third party or any Governmental Body in order to obtain any consents, approvals or waivers pursuant to this Section 7.6, other than the fees of and payments to the legal and professional advisors of the individual Parties.

(e)    Buyer and Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, at any time prior to the Termination Date if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation could reasonably be expected to (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase

42

the risk of not obtaining, any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Body necessary to consummate the Transactions or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Body entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions or (iii) delay the consummation of the Transactions.

(f)    Without limitation of their obligations under this Section 7.6:

(i)    Buyer must: (A) obtain the prior written approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Seller with respect to the form of each application or other filing to be made for the purposes of fulfilling the OIO Condition, and with respect to any post-filing modifications to be made to any such application or other filing; and (B) promptly provide to the OIO all notices, information and documents required for the purpose of fulfilling the OIO Condition;

(ii)    Buyer must: (A) submit its application for consent to the Transactions to the OIO by no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, or such other date agreed by Buyer and Seller in writing; (B) consult with, and provide information to, Seller concerning any proposed approach by Buyer to the OIO or the content of any material correspondence including providing Seller a copy of the application for consent no later than eight (8) Business Days following the date of this Agreement (and at least two (2) Business Days prior to submission of the application) and copies of all correspondence to and from the OIO other than that which is purely administrative, but excluding any confidential financial and/or personal data of such Party and its officers, directors and owners and, if necessary, any commercially sensitive material; (C) not resile from or change, with a consequence that might be adverse to its prospects of satisfying the OIO Condition, any of the assurances or other commitments provided by Buyer in or in connection with its application for approval; (D) diligently progress its OIO application (including by responding to the OIO in a fulsome and timely manner, and where applicable in compliance with prescribed timeframes, in respect of all its questions and other correspondence) so as to expedite satisfaction of the OIO Condition; (E) keep Seller fully informed as to progress in procuring the satisfaction of the OIO Condition; and (F) not withdraw its application once submitted to the OIO; and

(iii)    Seller must: (A) provide Buyer with a copy of the draft Vendor Information Form (if necessary, redacted to withhold disclosure of commercially sensitive material) prior to it being submitted to the OIO; (B) on or immediately after the date on which Buyer submits its application to the OIO in connection with the OIO Condition, submit to the OIO a duly completed Vendor Information Form; and (C) provide Buyer with copies of all notices, applications and other documents in connection with the Vendor Information Form and all related material correspondence with the OIO.

(g)    Buyer may not withhold its approval to the terms of any consent, approval or conditions of clearance granted under the OI Act and the OI Regulations if: (A) the terms or conditions imposed are consistent with the OIO standard terms for approval attached as Schedule 7.6(g); or (B) the terms or conditions imposed by such consent arise directly from or relate to performance or fulfilment of plans, intentions or undertakings of Buyer referred to in Buyer’s application for consent.

43

(h)    Buyer must notify Seller in writing of the fulfilment of the OIO Condition as soon as reasonably practicable after Buyer becomes aware of the fulfilment of the OIO Condition. Any notification delivered in accordance with this Section 7.6(h) must be accompanied by sufficient evidence to reasonably satisfy Seller of the fulfilment of the OIO Condition, including a copy of the consent.

7.7    Books and Records.

Following the Closing, for a period consistent with such Party’s commercially reasonable record retention policies but not less than seven (7) years, each of Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) give Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, and its Representatives reasonable access to (A) its Representatives, including employees, and (B) to the extent relating to the Business and/or the Purchased Assets and capable of being separated from the Books and Records relating to any other businesses of the Seller Parties without imposing an unreasonable burden or cost on the Seller Parties (unless Buyer agrees to assume any such unreasonable cost), Books and Records and other information with respect to the Business and/or the Purchased Assets relating to periods prior to the Closing, in each case for any reasonable purpose, including as may be necessary for (1) the preparation of Tax Returns and financial statements and (2) complying with any audit request, subpoena or other investigative demand by any Governmental Body or for any Legal Proceeding, subject in all cases to reasonable restrictions imposed from time to time upon advice of counsel in respect of applicable Laws relating to the confidentiality of information (including any Competition Laws); and (ii) maintain all such Books and Records in accordance with such Party’s commercially reasonable record retention policies. All access provided pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be conducted (x) during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to the Party providing access, (y) in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the normal operations of the businesses of the Party providing access, and (z) at the accessing Party’s sole cost and expense (including any costs and expenses for making copies of Books and Records), and the Party providing access shall have the right to have one or more of its Representatives present at all times during any visits, examinations, discussions or contacts contemplated by this Section 7.7. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Buyer nor Seller shall be required to provide any access or disclose any information where such access or disclosure would, in the reasonable judgment of the Party otherwise required to provide such access or disclosure, (I) jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or other immunity or protection from disclosure of the Party otherwise required to provide such access or disclosure, (II) conflict with any (x) Law (including any Law relating to data protection or privacy) or Order applicable to the Party otherwise required to provide such access or disclosure or the assets, information or operation of the businesses of the Party otherwise required to provide such access or disclosure, (y) Contract to which the Party otherwise required to provide such access or disclosure is party or by which any of the assets or properties of the Party otherwise required to provide such access or disclosure is bound or (z) other obligation of confidentiality, or (III) result in the disclosure of competitively sensitive information; provided, that if any information is withheld pursuant to this sentence, the applicable Party will (x) inform the accessing Party as to the general nature of what is being withheld and (y) use its commercially reasonable efforts (1) to accommodate any request from the accessing Party for information pursuant to this Section 7.7 in a manner that does not result in such a violation or waiver or disclosure of competitively sensitive information or (2) to obtain the required consent of the applicable third Person to permit such access or disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if the Parties are in an adversarial relationship in any Legal Proceeding, the

44

furnishing of information, documents or records in accordance with this Section 7.7 shall be subject to any applicable rules relating to discovery and (y) any and all such Books and Records may be destroyed by a Party if such destroying Party sends to the other Party written notice of its intent to destroy such Books and Records, specifying in reasonable detail the contents of the Books and Records to be destroyed; such records may then be destroyed after the sixtieth (60^th) day following such notice unless the other Party notifies the destroying Party that such other Party desires to obtain possession of such Books and Records, in which event the destroying Party shall transfer such Books and Records to such requesting party and such requesting Party shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the destroying Party in connection therewith.

7.8    Post-Closing Cooperation.

After the Closing Date, each Party shall provide the other Party, at such other Party’s cost and expense, with such reasonable assistance as may be requested by such other Party in connection with any Legal Proceeding or audit of any kind or nature whatsoever or the preparation of any response, demand, inquiry, filing, disclosure or the like (including any Tax Return or form) relating to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business.

7.9    Confidentiality.

The terms of the Transaction Non-Disclosure Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference as if set forth herein and, notwithstanding the Closing, the Transaction Non-Disclosure Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms except that upon the Closing, Buyer’s obligations thereunder with respect to “Confidential Information” (as such term is defined in the Transaction Non-Disclosure Agreement), to the extent relating to the Business, shall terminate. With respect to Confidential Information that does not relate to the Business, such Confidential Information shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Non-Disclosure Agreement. With respect to Representatives of Buyer that, prior to the Closing, were Representatives of Seller, nothing in this Section 7.9 shall vitiate such Representative’s confidentiality obligations owed to Seller as a consequence of such Representative’s former employment with Seller.

7.10    Further Assurances.

From time to time after the Closing Date, each Party shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any other assurances or documents or instruments of transfer or assumption and take such further actions reasonably requested to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and give effect to the Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that (a) Buyer or Seller discovers following the Closing that any asset that was intended to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement was not transferred at the Closing, Seller shall or shall cause its Affiliates promptly to assign and transfer to Buyer all right, title and interest in such asset for no additional consideration, (b) Buyer or Seller discovers following the Closing that any asset that was not intended to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement was transferred at the Closing, Buyer shall promptly assign and transfer to Seller or Seller’s designated Seller Subsidiary all right, title and interest in such asset for no additional consideration, (c) Seller or any of its Affiliates receives any funds following the Closing that relate to a Purchased Asset, Seller shall or shall cause its Affiliates promptly to remit such funds to Buyer, (d) Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives any funds following the Closing that relate to an Excluded Asset, Buyer shall

45

or shall cause its Affiliates promptly to remit such funds to Seller or Seller’s designated Seller Subsidiary, and (e) any Purchased Assets are located at the premises of one or more of Seller’s third party service providers at the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, in arranging for the transfer of possession of such Purchased Assets to Buyer or in obtaining warehousing and/or storage services from a third party service provider for such Purchased Assets in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practices for the Brand.

7.11    Bulk Sales Laws.

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

7.12    Distributors; Distributor Indemnifications.

(a)    The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that none of the distribution agreements currently in effect between the Seller Parties and their respective Distributors are included in the Assumed Contracts and no such distributor agreements shall be assigned or transferred to Buyer, in whole or in part, hereunder. During the Pre-Closing Period, neither Seller nor any of the Seller Subsidiaries (nor any third party acting at Seller’s or any Seller Subsidiary’s direction or with their consent) shall deliver any notices to their respective Distributors withdrawing any products sold under the Brand from distribution under the relevant distribution agreements or otherwise terminating such Distributors’ rights to distribute such products under such agreements. Promptly following the Closing, Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries shall notify their respective Distributors of the closing of the Transactions and shall cooperate with Buyer and provide instructions to their Distributors as reasonably requested by Buyer to facilitate the transfer of the products sold under the Brand into Buyer’s distribution network. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Buyer will be permitted to and will be solely responsible for entering into its own distribution agreements or other arrangements with distributors of Buyer’s choosing with respect to the distribution of the products sold under the Brand following the Closing.

(b)    In the event that Buyer elects to appoint a new distributor to distribute products sold under the Brand in any territory post-Closing that is different than the Distributor appointed by Seller to distribute such product in such territory prior to the Closing, and Buyer seeks an indemnity from such new distributor for itself against any liability to Seller’s former Distributor of such products in such territory, then Buyer shall either (i) ensure that any such indemnity extends equally to Seller and its Affiliates and that Seller and its Affiliates are made express third party beneficiaries of such indemnity, or (ii) to the extent such indemnity does not so extend equally, itself indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all Losses resulting or arising from any liability to Seller’s former Distributor of such products in such territory, provided, that in no event shall Buyer be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Seller or any of its Affiliates from and against any Losses resulting or arising from Seller’s or any of its Affiliate’s actions, including, without limitation, arising in connection with any Products manufactured, sold, distributed, shipped or licensed by the Business prior to the Closing, or any services rendered by any Seller Party in connection with the Business.

7.13    Other Regulatory Matters.

46

(a)    Each Seller Party shall cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to Buyer in connection with the transfer or re-issuance of any Permit, including signing transfer applications, “use up” letters for labels and permit termination forms. Effective as of the Closing, each Seller Party grants to Buyer the limited right to sell all finished goods Inventory that is labeled with any name or trademark of such Seller Party as of the Closing Date and to use up all labels and other packaging materials included in the Inventory bearing any name or trademark of such Seller Party.

(b)    Each Seller Party shall provide such “use up” authorizations as may be required to enable Buyer to register and sell the Brand using labels bearing such Seller Party’s name and address. To the extent required for Buyer to conduct the Business, each Seller Party shall maintain its existing label and Brand registrations and price postings with respect to the Brand and shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s commercially reasonable efforts to make and obtain Buyer’s label approval, brand registrations and price postings with respect to the Brand, in each case, until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which Buyer’s label approval, Brand registration and price postings are completed with respect to the Brand, or (ii) the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

7.14    Intellectual Property.

The Seller Parties shall not, themselves or through any third party: (a) at any time after the Closing Date, for so long as any item of Business Intellectual Property remains valid and enforceable, challenge the validity, enforceability, ownership, scope, or effectiveness of such item of Business Intellectual Property or Buyer’s rights with respect to such item of Business Intellectual Property; (b)(i) at any time after the Closing Date, use, apply for or register any trademark, service ▇▇▇▇, trade name, trade dress, label design or package design that is identical to any item of Business Intellectual Property, or (ii) for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, use, apply for or register any trademark, service ▇▇▇▇, trade name, trade dress, label design or package design that is confusingly similar to any item of Business Intellectual Property, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), for so long as any such item of Business Intellectual Property that is a trademark, service ▇▇▇▇, trade name, trade dress, label design or package design remains valid and enforceable, provided, that the Parties agree that with respect to any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this clause (b)(ii), the standard to be applied in determining whether such trademark, service ▇▇▇▇, trade name, trade dress, label design or package design is confusingly similar to any such item of Business Intellectual Property shall be the same as that applied under the federal laws of the United States with respect to such matters, and such standard shall not be affected in any manner by the inclusion of this clause (b)(ii) in this Agreement; or (c) at any time after the Closing Date, use any image, design and/or other artwork, name or reference on any trade dress, packaging materials, media, advertising and/or marketing or other material(s) that would be reasonably viewed as portraying, depicting, referencing or implying a relationship with the Brand, the Business or the Purchased Assets, and Seller and the other Seller Parties will remove, no later than the Closing Date, any such image, design and/or other artwork, name or reference from any of their trade dress, packaging materials, media, advertising and/or marketing and other materials, including without limitation websites, digital and social media.

47

The Seller Parties hereby irrevocably waive any moral rights each may claim or have appurtenant to the Business Intellectual Property. The Seller Parties further covenant and agree that they will not at any time prior to, or for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, disparage or defame the Brand, the Business or any Purchased Assets through any public announcements, press releases, investors calls or similar corporate communications directed or approved by an executive officer of Seller; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing covenant shall not apply to any communication that is not a corporate communication directed or approved by an executive officer of Seller, including any statements made by any Seller Party’s salespersons or other non-executive employees to any Person that compares the products of any Seller Party or Affiliate thereof favorably to any Product or is otherwise in the nature of a statement any salesperson or other non-executive employee might make regarding a competitor or its products.

7.15    No Solicitation.

During the Pre-Closing Period, except in connection with the Transactions, Seller shall not, and shall cause the other Seller Parties and its and their respective Affiliates and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit or initiate or induce or encourage, or take any other action to facilitate, any Alternative Transaction or any inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Transaction, (b) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish to any person any information in furtherance of, or otherwise cooperate in any way in furtherance of, any Alternative Transaction or any inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Transaction, or (c) approve, endorse, recommend, execute or enter into any Contract, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or merger, acquisition or similar agreement constituting, contemplating or otherwise relating to any Alternative Transaction or any inquiry or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not prohibit any of the Seller Parties or their respective Affiliates or Representatives from responding to inquiries by any Person about a possible Alternative Transaction in order to inform such Person of the existence of the obligations contained in this Section 7.15; provided, that Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of the receipt by any of the Seller Parties or, to Seller’s Knowledge, their respective Affiliates or Representatives, of any inquiry or proposal relating to an Alternative Transaction in respect of the Purchased Assets or the Brand, which notice shall identify the Purchased Assets that are the subject of such inquiry or proposal, and, to the extent not prohibited by a confidentiality agreement in place on or before the date hereof, Seller shall (x) promptly notify Buyer of the material terms thereof and the identity of the person or group involved, (y) promptly furnish Buyer with a copy of any written inquiry, proposal or other information relating to such Alternative Transaction, and (z) keep Buyer informed on a current basis of any modifications to such inquiry, proposal or other information.

7.16    Shared Contracts and Assigned Portions of the Shared Contracts.

(a)    In order to complete the transfer of the Assigned Portions of the Shared Contracts to Buyer or its designated Affiliates, Seller shall notify, or cause the applicable Seller Subsidiaries to notify, the counterparties of the Shared Contracts of the transfer of the Assigned Portions of the Shared Contracts by Seller or a Seller Subsidiary to Buyer or its designated Affiliate, and Seller and Buyer shall each use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the

48

cooperation of each counterparty to a Shared Contract so that, as of the Closing Date or the earliest practicable time thereafter, with the concurrence and consent of such counterparty, each Shared Contract shall be divided into two (2) Contracts so that Buyer or its designated Affiliate receives the benefit of the portion of the Shared Contract pertaining to the Business (the “Assigned Portion of the Shared Contract”) and assumes the obligations of the respective Seller Party associated with the Assigned Portion of the Shared Contract, and the respective Seller Party remains entitled to receive the benefit of the balance of the Shared Contract and remains liable to perform its obligations under the balance of the Shared Contract, and the respective Seller Party is released from its obligations attributable to the Assigned Portion of such Shared Contract; provided that in no event shall any Seller Party or Buyer be obligated to pay any fee or provide any confidential financial statements to any such counterparty in order to obtain any such concurrence and consent; provided, further, that Seller and Buyer shall each use their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Assigned Portions of the Shared Contracts (i) reflect the portions of the Shared Contracts used by the Business in the ordinary course of business consistent with the Seller Parties’ past practices, (ii) are in quantities appropriate for the Business as conducted as of the date of this Agreement, and (iii) in the case of any Shared Contracts that are grape contracts, are based upon vineyard blocks used by the Business in the ordinary course of business consistent with the Seller Parties’ past practices. Buyer and Seller shall act in good faith and reasonably cooperate in connection with such process of dividing each Shared Contract (including the joint determination of the portion of the Shared Contract pertaining to the Business and the allocation of Seller’s and Buyer’s respective rights and obligations under the Shared Contract). If a Shared Contract includes schedules or statements of work that pertain exclusively to the Business or are otherwise easily separable into a portion of such Shared Contract that exclusively pertains to the Business, such schedules or statements of work or other easily separable portions exclusively related to the Business shall be the Assigned Portion of the Shared Contract and, if a Shared Contract is not easily separable in such manner, the Assigned Portion of the Shared Contract shall be determined based on the historical allocation of the goods or services provided to or received by the Business under such Shared Contract.

(b)    With respect to any Shared Contract for which such concurrence and consent of the counterparty is not obtained prior to the Closing Date or which cannot be separated in the manner described in Section 7.16(a) (a “Joint Contract”), then, until such time as such Joint Contract may be divided into two (2) Contracts as provided in Section 7.16(a), the respective Seller Party will, for the purposes of the relationship with the counterparty to such Joint Contract, remain the party to the Joint Contract, and the Parties will, for the purposes of the relationship between themselves, behave and treat each other as if the Assigned Portion of the Shared Contract of such Joint Contract had effectively been assigned to and assumed by Buyer or its designated Affiliate on and as of the Closing Date, so that Buyer or its designated Affiliate shall receive from the Seller Party the benefits of the Assigned Portion of the Shared Contract, and Buyer or its designated Affiliate shall perform the obligations of the respective Seller Party related to the Assigned Portion of the Shared Contract.

(c)    In addition to their other obligations under this Section 7.16 and under Section 2.6, during the Pre-Closing Period, when seeking to obtain any Consent required to assign any Assumed Contract set forth on Schedule 7.16(c) and when dividing any Shared Contract set forth on Schedule 7.16(c), Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other in good faith, to negotiate a reduction in the duration of the term of such Assumed

49

Contract or Shared Contract (including the Assigned Portion of such Shared Contract), as the case may be.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Seller Parties will not execute any new Contracts with the counterparties to the Contracts and expired contracts set forth on Schedule 7.16(d) for the goods or services to which such Contracts or expired contracts relate, without the prior written consent of Buyer, and no Seller Party shall be obligated to execute any such new Contract unless Buyer agrees in writing that such new Contract shall be treated as an Assumed Contract for all purposes under this Agreement.

7.17    Contracting Out NZ.

The Parties acknowledge for the purposes of section 5D of the Fair Trading Act 1986 (NZ) that: (a) the Purchased Assets are both supplied and acquired in trade; (b) the Parties are in trade; (c) the Parties agree to contract out of sections 9, 12A, 13 and 14(1) of the Fair Trading Act 1986 (NZ) with respect to this Agreement or any matters, information, representations or circumstances covered by this Agreement; (d) it is fair and reasonable that the Parties are bound by this Section 7.17; and (e) the Parties have each been able to fully negotiate the terms of this Agreement, and have each been represented by and received external advice during the negotiations leading to this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

TAXES AND COSTS; APPORTIONMENTS.

8.1    Transaction Costs.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred.

8.2    Prorations and Other Adjustments.

To the extent not otherwise prorated or adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties shall prorate between Seller and Buyer, as of the Closing on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year and the actual number of days elapsed to (but not including) the Closing Date, those items set forth on Schedule 8.2. Seller shall have a period of ninety (90) days following the Closing to provide Buyer with a final reconciliation. If the final reconciliation shows that Buyer or Seller owes the other additional sums, the Party owning such sums shall pay such amount to the other Party within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of the final reconciliation. If the amount of any proration cannot be determined at the Closing, the adjustments will be made at the Closing based on the best available information and then re-prorated between the Parties in accordance with the final reconciliation provided above.

8.3    New Zealand GST.

(a)    In this Section 8.3, a word or expression defined in the GST Act has the meaning given to it in the GST Act, unless the context otherwise requires.

(b)    Without limiting any other Section in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge for GST purposes that, at the date this Agreement is entered into (i) the Purchase Price is payable in accordance with this Agreement for the supply of the Purchased Assets plus GST (if any), (ii) to the extent that the Purchased Assets are Business Intellectual Property that is supplied to Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer designated in accordance with Section 2.1 and 2.5 that (within the meaning of the GST Act) is not resident in New Zealand and is outside New Zealand at Closing, the supply of such assets will be zero-rated in accordance with section 11A(1) of the GST Act, subject to Sections 8.3(i) and (j), (iii) to the extent that the supply of the Purchased Assets is (in whole or in part) not a supply zero-rated in accordance with Section 8.3(b)(ii), such supply (the “Standard Rated Supply”) is a taxable supply on which GST is charged at the rate of 15%, and (iv) the amount of GST chargeable with respect to the Standard Rated Supply, being an amount equal to the GST Component, will be payable by Buyer or its relevant Affiliate to the relevant Seller Subsidiary in addition to that amount of the GST exclusive Purchase Price attributable to the Purchased Assets included in the Standard Rated Supply.

(c)    Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and any relevant Seller Subsidiary each warrant to the other that they will be a registered person under the GST Act on the Closing Date.

(d)    The relevant Seller Subsidiary will issue a tax invoice to Buyer or its relevant Affiliate in respect of the Standard Rated Supply on the Closing Date (all monetary amounts in such tax invoice to be expressed in New Zealand dollars in accordance with section 77 of the GST Act, with the Purchase Price converted to New Zealand dollars at the Exchange Rate).

(e)    Buyer or its relevant Affiliate will pay the GST Component by procuring that the benefit of its GST Refund in respect of the tax invoice issued under Section 8.3(d) is transferred by the Commissioner to the GST account of the relevant Seller Subsidiary as evidenced by written confirmation from the Commissioner that the transfer has occurred, such written confirmation to be received by the relevant Seller Subsidiary no later than the GST Date (the “GST Transfer”). Seller and each relevant Seller Subsidiary will co-operate with Buyer (and Buyer’s duly authorized agents and Affiliates) to the extent reasonably necessary to allow that process to be completed.

(f)    Where and to the extent that the GST Transfer (i) has not occurred on or before the GST Date, or (ii) is for an amount that is less than the GST Component, then Buyer or its relevant Affiliate will pay an amount equal to the shortfall in New Zealand dollars (the “GST Shortfall”) to the relevant Seller Subsidiary no later than the GST Payment Date.

(g)    If Buyer or its relevant Affiliate is unable to pay the relevant Seller Subsidiary any amount of the GST Shortfall (if applicable) on or before the GST Payment Date (the “Unpaid Amount”), Buyer or its relevant Affiliate will be liable to pay to the relevant Seller Subsidiary Default GST (if applicable) in New Zealand dollars in addition to the Unpaid Amount.

(h)    The relevant Seller Subsidiary shall not be obliged to pay any GST or Default GST to the Commissioner or to take any steps to minimize the liability in respect of such GST and/or Default GST until a corresponding payment is received in full from Buyer or its relevant Affiliate.

(i)    If and to the extent that Section 8.3(b)(ii) applies in respect of the supply of Business Intellectual Property under this agreement (i) the parties acknowledge and agree that the

51

Buyer or its relevant Affiliate shall purchase and acquire such Business Intellectual Property from the relevant Seller Subsidiary and shall be liable to pay the relevant proportion of the Purchase Price attributable to such Business Intellectual Property to the relevant Seller Subsidiary, and (ii) Buyer warrants and procures that any relevant Affiliate of the Buyer warrants to each of Seller and the relevant Seller Subsidiary that the Buyer or its relevant Affiliate is not resident in New Zealand under the GST Act and is outside New Zealand at Closing.

(j)    If the Commissioner subsequently determines that any supply referred to in Section 8.3(b)(ii) was incorrectly zero-rated, (i) Buyer or the relevant Affiliate of the Buyer must pay to the relevant Seller Subsidiary an amount equal to the GST charged in respect of that supply, together with an amount equal to any Default GST charged in respect of that supply, in addition to that amount of the GST exclusive Purchase Price attributable to that supply and immediately upon demand being made by the relevant Seller Subsidiary, and (ii) Buyer shall fully and effectively indemnify Seller and the relevant Seller Subsidiary for any reasonable out of pocket advisor or other incidental costs incurred by Seller or the relevant Seller Subsidiary in connection with the matter.

(k)    For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 8.3 are intended to be for the benefit of, and directly enforceable by, the relevant Seller Subsidiary.

(l)    In this Section 8.3, (i) Commissioner means the New Zealand Commissioner of Inland Revenue, (ii) Default GST means any additional GST, penalty, interest or other sum levied against relevant Seller Subsidiary under the GST Act or the Tax Administration Act 1994 (NZ) by reason of the non-payment or late payment by the relevant Seller Subsidiary of any GST in respect of a supply made under this Agreement, but does not include any such sum levied against the relevant Seller Subsidiary by reason of a default by the relevant Seller Subsidiary after payment in full by Buyer or its relevant Affiliate to the relevant Seller Subsidiary of any GST (and any Default GST) that had been payable in relation to that supply, (iii) Exchange Rate means a USD:NZD exchange rate quoted by Westpac New Zealand Limited at 12pm on the Closing Date, (iv) GST Component means the New Zealand dollar equivalent of the GST chargeable on the Standard Rated Supply, such New Zealand dollar equivalent to be determined using the Exchange Rate, (v) GST Date means the day that is five working days before the relevant Seller Subsidiary is required to account for GST in respect of the supply to which the tax invoice issued under Section 8.3(d) relates, (vi) GST Payment Date means the day that is two working days before the relevant Seller Subsidiary is required to account for GST in respect of the Standard Rated Supply to which the tax invoice issued under Section 8.3(d) relates, and (vii) GST Refund means a refund of GST (if any) or credit to the value of the GST Component, for the taxable period in which the Standard Rated Supply is made to Buyer or its relevant Affiliate, to which Buyer or its relevant Affiliate is entitled under the GST Act.

(ii)    with respect to any individual claim or series of claims having the same nature or origin where the Buyer Warranty Losses relating thereto are less than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) and any such Buyer Warranty Losses shall not be counted or aggregated for purposes of determining whether the Buyer Indemnified Parties have incurred Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided that

56

the limitation in this Section 11.2(b)(ii) shall not apply to any claims resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in in Section 5.12(a) and the first sentence of Section 5.12(g); and

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations in Section 11.1 and this Section 11.2, Seller will indemnify Buyer for the full amount of any claims relating to any Seller Parties’ failure to timely file any required reports and excise tax documents with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (the “TTB”), the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control or Board of Equalization (the “BOE”) or to timely pay any federal excise taxes to the TTB and state taxes to the BOE with respect to operations of the Business prior to the Closing Date.

11.3    Indemnification by Buyer.

(a)    From and after the Closing Date and subject to the provisions of this Article XI, the Seller Parties and their Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, equity holders, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns, as applicable (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties” and together with Buyer Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless by Buyer from and against any and all Losses incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party resulting or arising from (i) any failure by Buyer to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or any Closing Document, (ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or any Closing Document, (iii) any Assumed Liability, or (iv) with the exception of the Excluded Liabilities, any Third Party Claim based upon, resulting from or arising out of the conduct of the Business, the ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets, or the sale of products and services relating to the Business on and after the Closing Date; provided that for purposes of this Section 11.3, the representations and warranties of Buyer in this Agreement and the Closing Documents shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications as to knowledge or materiality and, accordingly, all references herein and therein to “knowledge,” “Buyer Material Adverse Effect,” “material,” “in all material respects” and similar qualifications as to knowledge and materiality shall be deemed to be deleted therefrom (except (x) where any such provision requires disclosure of lists of items of a material nature or above a specified threshold, or (y) with respect to any knowledge qualifier, where it relates to any “threatened” act or circumstance); provided, further, that to the extent that any materiality or knowledge qualified representation or warranty is deemed to be breached by Buyer solely as the result of the application of the proviso immediately preceding this proviso, such breach will not constitute or give rise to a claim of Fraud, for purposes of this Article XI or otherwise.

57

(b)    Buyer shall not be liable for any Loss or Losses pursuant to Section 11.3(a)(ii) (“Seller Warranty Losses”) (i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Seller Warranty Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds the Deductible, and then only to the extent that such Seller Warranty Losses exceed the Deductible, and (ii) to the extent that Seller Warranty Losses exceed the Cap; provided, however, that (x) the Deductible and the Cap shall not apply to any Loss based on a breach of any Buyer Fundamental Representation and (y) nothing contained in this Section 11.3(b) shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any manner any rights or remedies which Seller has, or might have, at Law, in equity or otherwise, based on claims arising out of Fraud.

11.4    Limitations on Indemnification.

(a)    Any Indemnification Claim required to be made on or prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 11.1, and not made in accordance with Section 11.6, shall be irrevocably and unconditionally released and waived by the Party seeking indemnification with respect thereto. It is the express intent of the Parties that, if the applicable period for an item as contemplated by Section 11.1 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby. The Parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in Section 11.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arm’s length negotiation between the Parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the Parties.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party shall, in any event, be liable to any other Person for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages, except, in each case, in the case of Fraud or to the extent payable in respect of a Third Party Claim.

(c)    In the event of any breach giving rise to an indemnification obligation under this Article XI, the Indemnified Party shall take and cause its Affiliates to take, or cooperate with the Indemnifying Party if so requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to take all commercially reasonable measures to mitigate the consequences of the related breach.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any amounts payable pursuant to the indemnification obligations under this Article XI shall be paid without duplication and in no event shall any Party hereto be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for Losses that have already been paid or otherwise taken into account under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall make no claim for indemnification under this Article XI in respect of any matter that is taken into account in the calculation of any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.3.

(e)    In calculating any Losses there shall be deducted any insurance proceeds (net of applicable policy deductibles, costs, and expenses actually incurred in connection with making any claim or obtaining such insurance proceeds) and other indemnification, contribution or other similar payments actually recovered by the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof from any third party with respect thereto. If any such proceeds or payments are received by an Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Losses after payment has been made by an Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay back, or cause its appropriate Affiliates to pay back, the amount of such proceeds (up to the amount

58

received by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses, subject to the limitations herein) to the Indemnifying Party.

11.5    Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.

All indemnification payments made under this Article XI shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

11.6    Notice of Indemnification Claim.

If the Indemnified Party shall become aware of any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably promptly give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify whether the Indemnification Claim arises as a result of a claim by a third party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the Indemnification Claim does not so arise, and shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available) the factual basis for the Indemnification Claim and the amount of the Indemnification Claim, if known or estimable. If the Indemnified Party does not reasonably promptly give notice of any Indemnification Claim as specified above, such failure shall not affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XI) for Losses in connection with such Indemnification Claim, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure.

11.7    Third Party Claims.

(a)    With respect to any Third Party Claims or any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding for which an Indemnified Party may have a claim for indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense and at its election, to assume control of the negotiation, settlement and defense of the Third Party Claim through counsel of its choice, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with reasonable evidence that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume such control in respect of Third Party Claims (x) asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business that is not then a supplier or customer of Seller or any of its Affiliates as of such date, (y) that seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or (z) after such time as Seller has indemnified Buyer Indemnified Parties for Buyer Warranty Losses in an aggregate amount equal to the applicable limitation set forth in Section 11.2(b)(iii). The election of the Indemnifying Party to assume such control shall be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim, failing which the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have elected not to assume such control. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be informed and consulted with respect to the negotiation, settlement or defenses of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, but the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the named parties to any Legal Proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and a representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interest between them (such as the availability of different defenses), in which case the

59

Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable costs and expenses of a single counsel to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend the Third Party Claim diligently or within a reasonable period of time, subject to Section 11.7(b), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to be informed and consulted with respect to the negotiation, settlement or defenses of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume or retain control of the negotiation, settlement and defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall control the negotiation, settlement and defense of such Third Party Claim, but in such case, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to be informed and consulted with respect to the negotiation, settlement or defenses of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf at its sole cost and expense.

(b)    Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement provides for no fault on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides for a full release, in customary form, of the Indemnified Party, and there are no obligations of the Indemnified Party under such settlement other than monetary damages or other monetary payments to be paid for by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (i) the Indemnifying Party does not assume or retain control of the negotiation, settlement and defense of a Third Party Claim and (ii) either of clauses (x) or (y) of the proviso set forth in the first sentence of Section 11.7(a) applies, the Indemnified Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c)    The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims and, regardless of which party has control thereof as provided for herein, shall keep each other reasonably advised with respect thereto.

11.8    Direct Claims.

The Indemnifying Party shall have sixty (60) days after its receipt of notice with respect to any Indemnification Claim that does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not timely notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Direct Claim, such Direct Claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as applicable. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 12.9.

11.9    Manner of Payment.

Within ten (10) Business Days after the amount of any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is indemnified pursuant to this Article XI is finally determined, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to such Indemnified Party such amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Indemnified Party at least three (3) Business Days prior to the payment date.

60

11.10    Exclusive Remedies.

Following the Closing Date, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or with respect to claims for Fraud, the sole and exclusive remedy for any claim under this Agreement, including any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other agreement contained in this Agreement shall be indemnification in accordance with this Article XI, and no Person will have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract, tort or otherwise. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other agreement set forth herein it may have against the other Party hereto and its Affiliates arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI and except as otherwise expressly provided herein or with respect to claims for Fraud. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.10 shall not (a) interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of Section 3.3 providing for the resolution of certain disputes relating to the adjustment of the Purchase Price between the Parties and/or by the Independent Accountant or (b) limit the rights of the Parties to seek specific performance in accordance with Section 12.10.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1    Public Announcements.

Neither Party shall (nor shall it permit any of its Affiliates to) issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the Transactions or make any other public disclosure containing or pertaining to the terms of this Agreement without obtaining the other Party’s prior written approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless, in the judgment of the Party seeking to disclose, disclosure is otherwise required by Law or by the rules of any stock exchange on which such disclosing Party or its parent company lists securities, provided that, to the extent any disclosure is required by Law or stock exchange rule, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with such Law or stock exchange rule to consult with the other Party with respect to the timing and text thereof prior to making such disclosure.

12.2    Severability.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

12.3    Modification and Waiver.

This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner, except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No waiver by

61

any Party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. The failure of any Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, or in any way affect the right of such Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

12.4    Interpretation.

For purposes of this Agreement: (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; and (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole.

This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Schedules (including the Seller Disclosure Schedules) and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

12.5    Notices.

62

For the avoidance of doubt, no notice or other communication hereunder shall be deemed delivered: (i) if sent to Seller via email, or (ii) if sent to Buyer or any other recipient other than Seller set forth above via facsimile. Either Party may change the persons or addresses to which any notices or other communications to it should be addressed by notifying the other Party as provided above.

12.6    Assignment.

Neither Seller nor Buyer may assign (whether by operation of law, a change of control or otherwise) any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Buyer is permitted to assign its rights under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

12.7    Captions.

The captions and headings used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered part of this Agreement or be used in the interpretation thereof.

12.8    No Third-Party Rights.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall be construed, to confer upon any person or entity other than Buyer and Seller (and only to the extent expressly provided herein, their respective Affiliates) any right or remedy under or by reason of this Agreement.

12.9    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)    This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without giving effect to its conflicts of laws provisions.

63

(b)    Each of the Parties (i) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the Transactions, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 12.5, provided that nothing in this Section 12.9 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (ii) irrevocably submits itself and its properties and assets to the exclusive jurisdiction of the trial courts of San Francisco, California or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California for the purpose of any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or the actions of the Parties in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement hereof or thereof; (iii) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the trial courts of San Francisco, California or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California for the purpose of any such action, proceeding or counterclaim; (iv) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (v) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action, proceeding or counterclaim in any such court or that such action, proceeding or counterclaim was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (vi) agrees that it will not bring any action, proceeding or counterclaim relating to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or the Transactions in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding in such courts as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. The Parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such Parties and, to the extent permitted by Law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 12.5 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

(c)    EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (II) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.9(c).

12.10    Specific Performance and Injunctive Relief.

Each Party acknowledges and hereby agrees that any breach of this Agreement, including a breach of a Party’s obligations under Section 7.6, would give rise to irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and

64

hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by a Party of any of its respective covenants, obligations or agreements set forth in this Agreement, the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction, including temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions in the nature of mandatory injunctions, to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the breaching Party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement against the breaching Party. The availability of injunctive relief under this Section 12.10 is in addition to any other remedy to which the non-breaching Party is entitled at law or in equity. Each Party hereby waives any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each Party hereby agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other Party and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of the Parties under this Agreement.

12.11    Waiver of Conflicts.

Seller has engaged ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (“NP”) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grierson (together with NP, “Seller’s Counsel”) as its legal counsel in connection with the Transactions. In the event that Seller’s Counsel now or in the future represents Buyer in connection with matters unrelated to the Transactions, Buyer hereby (a) consents to the continued representation of Seller or any other Seller Party by Seller’s Counsel in connection with the Transactions, and (b) waives any actual, potential or alleged conflict of interest that exists or may arise from Seller’s Counsel’s representation of any Seller Party in connection with the Transactions, including with respect to the determination of the Closing Book Value of the Product Inventory or any other adjustment to the Purchase Price hereunder, or claims for indemnification pursuant to Article XI and any Legal Proceeding or other dispute resolution proceedings of any kind in respect of the foregoing. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any privilege or consent to the disclosure of any privileged information. Buyer hereby acknowledges that Buyer has obtained independent legal advice in connection with the foregoing consent and waiver.

12.12    Counterparts; Electronic Delivery.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile, electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.

12.13    Entire Agreement.

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, representations and statements, whether oral, written, implied or expressed, relating to such subject matter, including that certain binding letter agreement dated as of December 11, 2019 by and between the Parties relating to such subject matter, including all exhibits and attachments thereto (collectively, as amended from time to
