UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Unit Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of December 23, 2013, by and among GFA Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Boulder Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer Parent”), the Persons listed on Schedule I attached hereto (each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”) and Burrito Investment Group LLC, in the capacity of Seller Representative (as defined herein). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Exhibit A attached hereto.

WHEREAS, the Sellers collectively own all of the issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Units, Series A Preferred Units, Common Units and Incentive Units (collectively, the “Units”) of Phil’s Fresh Foods, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), which Units collectively constitute all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Sellers wish to sell to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from the Sellers, all of the Units, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE UNIT PURCHASE

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Units. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each of the Sellers hereby sells, transfers and delivers to Buyer, free and clear of any and all Liens, other than Permitted Equity Liens, and Buyer hereby purchases from each of the Sellers, all of the Units held by each such Seller as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, for the consideration specified in Section 1.2. As used in this Agreement, “Permitted Equity Liens” means restrictions on the transfer of Units arising under federal and state securities laws.

1.2 Purchase Price. The aggregate payment to be made by Buyer at the Closing for all of the Units under this Agreement shall be the Estimated Purchase Price. For purposes of this Agreement, “Purchase Price” shall mean an amount equal to the sum of (i) FORTY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS ($48,000,000), plus (ii) the amount of Cash on Hand as of immediately prior to the Closing, plus (iii) the amount by which the Closing Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date exceeds the Target Working Capital, if any minus (iv) the amount by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date, if any, less (v) the amount of Funded Indebtedness as of immediately prior to the Closing, less (vi) the amount of any Transaction Expenses which have not been paid as of immediately prior to the Closing, in each case as determined pursuant to Section 1.3.

1.3 Estimated Purchase Price; Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Purchase Price. Prior to the Closing, the Seller Representative prepared and delivered to Buyer a statement setting forth the Seller Representative’s good faith estimate of the Purchase Price (including an estimate of Cash on Hand as of immediately prior to the Closing, Closing Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date, Funded Indebtedness as of immediately prior to the Closing, and the amount of any Transaction Expenses which have not been paid as of immediately prior to the Closing, which are referred to herein as the “Price Components”) (the “Estimated Purchase Price”), which statement contains an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (without giving effect to any purchase accounting adjustments that may result from the transactions contemplated herein) (such balance sheet and statement together, the “Estimated Purchase Price Statement”). Each Seller, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants that the Estimated Purchase Price Statement was prepared in good faith in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures used for purposes of preparing the Most Recent Balance Sheet.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment Calculation.

(i) Purchase Price Statement. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative a statement setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Purchase Price (including each of the Price Components), which statement shall contain a balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (without giving effect to any purchase accounting adjustments that may result from the transactions contemplated herein) (such balance sheet and statement together, the “Purchase Price Statement”). The Purchase Price Statement shall be substantially in the form of the Estimated Purchase Price Statement.

(ii) Examination. After receipt of the Purchase Price Statement, the Seller Representative shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Purchase Price Statement. During the Review Period, subject to Section 8.15(b), the Seller Representative and its representatives shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to (i) the books and records of the Company, (ii) the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Buyer and/or Buyer’s representatives, and (iii) to such historical financial information, in each case, to the extent that they relate to the Purchase Price Statement as the Seller Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Purchase Price Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (as defined below).

(iii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Seller Representative may object to the Purchase Price Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth the Seller Representative’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for the Seller Representative’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If the Seller Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, then the Purchase Price Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Seller Representative. If the Seller Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, then Buyer and the Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”). If such objections are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Purchase Price Statement, with such changes as have been agreed in writing by Buyer and the Seller Representative, shall be final and binding.

(iv) Resolution of Disputes. If the Seller Representative and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any items or amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or, if ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP then has any material relationship with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any of the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates or is otherwise unwilling or unable to serve, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall, by mutual agreement, appoint another nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants (as the case may be, the “Independent Accountants”) who shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Purchase Price Statement. The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific amounts and items under dispute by Buyer and the Seller Representative and the Independent Accountants’ decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Purchase Price Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively. Buyer and the Seller Representative shall promptly (i) execute, if requested by the Independent Accountants, a reasonable engagement letter, and (ii) subject to the execution and delivery of a confidentiality agreement by the Independent Accountants, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer and the Seller Representative, provide all documents and information reasonably requested by the Independent Accountants.

(v) Fees of the Independent Accountants. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be allocated between, on the one hand, the Sellers, severally in accordance with the pro rata percentages set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Seller Allocation”), and on the other hand, Buyer, in proportion to the extent a party did not prevail on the Disputed Amounts.

(vi) Determination by Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the Seller Representative and Buyer shall agree in writing) after their engagement. The resolution by the Independent Accountants of the Disputed Amounts and adjustments to the Purchase Price Statement made by the Independent Accountants shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. The Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 1.3(b) for resolving disputes with respect to the Purchase Price Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving such disputes. The foregoing shall not limit the right or ability of Buyer to indemnification pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, Article VI of this Agreement.

(i) If the Purchase Price set forth in the Purchase Price Statement, as finally determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.3(b), is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price (the amount by which it is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price being referred to as a “Positive Adjustment”), then Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days of such final determination, pay to the Sellers (in accordance with the Seller Allocation) an amount equal to such Positive Adjustment by wire transfer or other delivery of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing by the Sellers.

(ii) If the Purchase Price set forth in the Purchase Price Statement, as finally determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.3(b), is less than the Estimated Purchase Price (the amount by which it is less than the Estimated Purchase Price being referred to as a “Negative Adjustment”), then an amount equal to such Negative Adjustment shall be paid to Buyer out of the Escrow Fund, and Buyer shall prepare, and Buyer and the Seller Representative shall execute and deliver, joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Buyer a portion of the Escrow Fund equal to the amount of the Negative Adjustment, by wire transfer or other delivery of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Buyer.

(iii) Any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 1.3(c) shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of such payment multiplied by a rate per annum equal to the prime rate of interest as of the Closing Date as reported in the Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2%), calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over three hundred sixty (360), from the Closing Date to the date of payment.

(d) Treatment of Payment. Any payment made under Section 1.3(c) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

1.4 The Closing. The purchase and sale of the Units contemplated hereby shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ LLP, located at Chrysler East Building, 666 Third Avenue, 20^th Floor, New York, New York 10017, on the date of this Agreement (the “Closing Date”), or at such other place as the Parties may mutually agree in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the mutual agreement of the Parties, the Closing may be consummated via the delivery of executed documents via mail or overnight service or via the transmission of executed signature pages by facsimile or electronic mail.

1.5 Closing Deliverables. In addition to any other documents to be delivered under other provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing:

(a) No Seller shall, and each Seller shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without obtaining the prior written approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, unless otherwise required by any Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such approval shall be required if the contents of any such press release or public announcement has already been publicly disclosed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

(b) Buyer shall not, and Buyer shall cause each of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) not to, issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the Seller Representative, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, unless otherwise required by any Legal Requirements.

(c) The terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall not be disclosed or otherwise made available to any third party and copies of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall not be publicly filed or otherwise made available to any third party, except where such disclosure, availability or filing is required by any Legal Requirements and only to the extent required by such Legal Requirements.

5.3 Employees and Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Company to provide each Company Employee who remains employed as of Closing (“Company Continuing Employees”), while employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, with: (i) base salary or hourly wages which are no less than the base salary or hourly wages provided by the Company immediately prior to the Closing; (ii) target annual bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation) which are substantially comparable in the aggregate as either (A) the target annual bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation) provided by the Company immediately prior to the Closing or (B) those provided by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates to similarly situated employees; and (iii) retirement and welfare benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate as either (A) those provided by the Company immediately prior to the Closing or (B) those provided by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates to similarly situated employees. In the event that the Company terminates the employment of any Company Continuing Employee during the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date (other than termination for “cause”, as determined in good faith by the Company), in connection with such termination, Buyer shall cause the Company to pay such terminated Company Continuing Employee severance equal to (i) two (2) months of Base Pay if, as of the date of such termination, such Company Continuing Employee had been employed with the Company for a period of at least one (1) full year, or (ii) one (1) month of Base Pay if, as of the date of such termination, such Company Continuing Employee had not been employed with the Company for a period of at least one (1) full year, which, in each case, will be paid in installments at the same time and in the same manner as the Company’s regular payroll practice until such severance payment is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries nor other Affiliates shall be obligated to continue to employ any Company Continuing Employee for any specific period of time following the Closing Date, subject to applicable Law.

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (collectively, “Buyer Benefit Plans”) in which any Company Continuing Employee will participate effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, recognize all service of the Company Continuing Employees with the Company, as if such service were with Buyer, for vesting and eligibility purposes (but not for benefit accrual) in any Buyer Benefit Plan in which such Company Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing Date; provided, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (x) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (y) such service was not recognized under the corresponding Benefit Plan.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) each Company Continuing Employee who is eligible to participate in any of Buyer Benefits Plans, shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in such Buyer Benefit Plans; (ii) for purposes of each Buyer Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Continuing Employee, Buyer shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Buyer Benefit Plan to be waived for each such Company Continuing Employee who is eligible to participate in such Buyer Benefits Plan; and (iii) Buyer shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Company Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents under a Benefit Plan which is a welfare plan during the portion of the plan year of the Benefit Plan ending on the date such Company Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding Buyer Benefit Plan begins to be taken into account under such Buyer Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for such year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Buyer Benefit Plan.

(d) On or about March 31, 2014 (the “Bonus Payment Date”), Buyer shall cause the Company (i) to make the bonus payments set forth on Schedule 5.3(d) to the applicable Company Employees, and in the respective amounts, set forth thereon (the “Section 5.3(d) Bonus Payments”), (ii) to properly deduct and withhold from any and all such payments such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Law; and (iii) to timely pay any payroll or withholding Taxes to the appropriate Tax Authority with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Company Employee is not employed by the Company, Buyer or any of its Affiliates on such date and the bonus amount set forth next to such Company Employee’s name is not paid to such Company Employee (or any other Company Employees with the approval of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) on or about the Bonus Payment Date, then, no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Bonus Payment Date, Buyer shall pay to the Sellers, in accordance with the Seller Allocation, the bonus amount set forth next to such Company Employee’s name, plus the employer portion of any payroll, employment or similar Taxes with respect to such bonus amount; provided, however, that Buyer shall be obligated to make a payment to Seller Representative pursuant to this sentence only to the extent such bonus amount (and the employer portion of any payroll, employment or similar Taxes with respect to such bonus amount) was specifically accrued for (with respect to the period of 2013 through the date hereof) in the Price Components in the Estimated Purchase Price Statement. No later than five (5) Business Days after Buyer files its income Tax Return for 2014, Buyer shall pay to the Seller Representative, which payment shall be apportioned by the Seller Representative among and payable to each Seller in accordance with the Seller Allocation, an amount equal to the sum of: (A) the product of (x) the aggregate amount of the Section 5.3(d) Bonus Payments paid by the Company (including any bonus amounts set forth on Schedule 5.3(d) with respect to any Company Employee that is paid by the Company to other Company Employees with the approval of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as contemplated above) that Buyer, Buyer Parent or any Affiliate thereof (or any of their respective successors) may properly deduct as compensatory payments on its 2014 consolidated U.S. federal income tax return (Form 1120), multiplied by (y) thirty percent (30%); provided, however, that Buyer shall be obligated to make a payment to Sellers under this sentence only to the extent the Section 5.3(d) Bonus Payments were specifically accrued for (with respect to the period of 2013 through the date hereof) in the Price Components in the Estimated Purchase Price Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers and Buyer agree that (i) the Company shall not, and the Sellers shall cause the Company not to, deduct in any Tax Return with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date any amount with respect to the Section 5.3(d) Bonus Payments, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer shall deduct the Section 5.3(d) Bonus Payments at the time such payments are made, and (iii) without limiting the obligation of Buyer to make the payments contemplated by the prior sentence, any Tax benefits attributable to the deductibility of the Section 5.3(d) Bonus Payments for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be for the account of Buyer.

(e) This Section 5.3 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties, and nothing in this Section 5.3, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.2 as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise.

(f) Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend, modify or create any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement (including with respect to Benefit Plans and Buyer Benefit Plans). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 5.3 shall not create any right in any Company Employee or any other Person.

5.4 Director and Officer Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Buyer agrees that, subject to Section 5.9, all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer or Board Member of the Company, as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other agreements in effect on the date hereof, shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.

(b) The Sellers represent and warrant that, prior to the Closing, the Company has obtained, and provided to Buyer true, complete and correct copies of, “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six (6) years from the Closing Date with at least the same coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to such directors and officers and the Company, as the policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance currently maintained by the Company, in each case with respect to Proceedings arising out of or relating to events that occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (the “Tail Policy”). Buyer shall cause the Company to maintain the Tail Policy in full force and effect for the term of such Tail Policy.

(c) The obligations of Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not be terminated, limited or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Board Member, officer or manager to whom this Section 5.4 applies without the prior written consent of such affected Board Member, officer or manager (it being expressly agreed that the Board Members, officers and managers to whom this Section 5.4 may apply shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.4, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.4 as if such Board Member, officer or manager were a party hereto).

(d) In the event Buyer or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer shall expressly assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.4.

5.5 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances, and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances, and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to transfer or assign to the Company any all rights to any assets, properties, books or records of the Company, including any Intellectual Property, Company IT Assets, and Company SM Accounts, held by, registered in the name of, or otherwise in the possession of, such Seller or any of its Affiliates.

5.6 Books and Records. For a period of at least seven (7) years from and after the Closing, Buyer shall:

(a) retain the books and records (including personnel files) of the Company relating to periods prior to the Closing in a manner reasonably consistent with Buyer’s retention policies in effect from time to time; and

(b) subject to Section 8.15(b), upon reasonable notice, afford the Sellers’ Representative reasonable access (including the right to make, at its expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, but consistent with Buyer’s business requirements, to such books and records if reasonably required by Sellers’ Representative in connection with any existing or future third party litigation or other matters in which Sellers related to the Company.

5.7 Confidentiality. For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, no Seller shall disclose or make use of (except to pursue its rights, under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or as otherwise permitted under this Section 5.7), and each Seller shall cause its Affiliates not to disclose or make use of, any knowledge or information, whether or not in writing, or documents of a private, secret, proprietary or confidential nature with respect to or concerning the Company or its business, operations, business relationships or financial affairs, including financial plans and records, marketing plans, business strategies and relationships with third parties, present and proposed products, trade secrets, information regarding customers and suppliers, strategic planning and systems and contractual term (collectively, “Confidential Information”), except to the extent that such knowledge, information or documents shall have become public knowledge other than through improper disclosure by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.7 shall restrict any Seller or any other Person from disclosing to the current or potential investors of such Seller or any of its Affiliates the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financial information relating to such Seller’s investment in the Company. Each of the Sellers agrees and acknowledges that the Confidential Information is the exclusive property of the Company. In the event any Seller or any of its Affiliates is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any Proceeding) to disclose any Confidential Information, it will notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement in writing so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or (in Buyer’s sole discretion) waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.7 (and if Buyer seeks such an order, the applicable Seller will provide such cooperation as Buyer shall reasonably request). If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, a Seller or any of its Affiliates is compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any Governmental Entity or in any Proceeding, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such party may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that such party is required by applicable Law to disclose to such Governmental Entity or in any such Proceeding and the applicable Seller will give Buyer written notice (unless prohibited by Law) of the information to be disclosed as far in advance as reasonably practicable.

5.8 Non-Solicitation. For a period two (2) years following the Closing Date, no Seller shall, and each Seller shall cause such Seller’s Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, hire, recruit, or solicit for employment any Person who is an employee of the Company as of the Closing Date or induce or influence any such Person to reduce or discontinue her or her employment with the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, or cause or assist any other Person in taking any such action; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not (i) prohibit any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller from making a general solicitation to the public of general advertising or similar methods of solicitation by search firms not specifically directed at employees of the Company, (ii) prohibit any Affiliate of any Seller who is not a Subsidiary of a Seller from hiring someone (other than the people listed on Schedule 5.8 (the “Specified Persons”)) who responds to a solicitation described in clause (i) above so long as no Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries caused, encouraged, recommended, assisted or was involved with the hiring of such person, (iii) prohibit any Seller or any Affiliate of a Seller from hiring someone whose employment is terminated by the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, (iv) prohibit any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller from hiring someone (other than a Specified Person) who has ceased to be an employee of the Company, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates for at least sixty (60) days, (v) prohibit any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller from hiring any Specified Person (other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) who has ceased to be an employee of the Company, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates for at least six (6) months, or (vi) prohibit any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller from hiring ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ so long as he has ceased to be an employee of the Company, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates for at least one (1) year; and so long as, in the case of clauses (iii) – (vi) above, the applicable Seller and its Affiliates complied with the terms of this Section 5.8 with respect to such individual while he or she was employed by the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates.

Each Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (other than Company) and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Releasing Parties”), hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges the Company and any and all of its successors and assigns, together with its present and former directors, managers and officers (the “Released Parties”), from any and all manner of claims, Proceedings, suits, damages, demands, rights and Liabilities or obligations whatsoever in Law or equity whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed, contingent, direct or indirect, which any of the Releasing Parties ever had, has had or may have against any of the Released Parties for, upon, or by reason of any matter, transaction, act, omission or thing whatsoever arising under or in connection with any of the Released Parties from the beginning of time to and including the Closing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all rights of the Releasing Parties under the Company Operating Agreement) (“Released Claims”); provided, however, that the Released Claims shall not include any claims with respect to liabilities or obligations of the Released Parties under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no Seller shall have any obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 6.2 or any other provision of the Agreement for any Losses attributable to Taxes: (i) resulting from any transaction of the Company occurring on the Closing Date but after the Closing (other than in the Ordinary Course of Business); (ii) to the extent such Taxes are reflected in the Price Components set forth in the Estimated Purchase Price Statement or the Purchase Price Statement, as applicable; or (iii) of Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (A) attributable to any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, or (B) with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning on or before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, attributable to the portion of such taxable period deemed to begin after the Closing Date in accordance with Section 7.1. Except as set forth in this Section 6.2, no Seller shall have any responsibility to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee with respect to Tax liabilities. For purposes of this Section 6.2, all representations and warranties shall be read for purposes of determining whether an inaccuracy or breach has occurred and for purposes of determining the amount of Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of such inaccuracy or breach, without regard to any qualifications as to Material Adverse Effect, materiality or any correlative term contained in any such representations and warranties (except for the reference to “Material Adverse Effect” in Section 3.5(ii)).

6.3 Indemnification By Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article 6, Buyer shall indemnify and defend each Seller and their respective Affiliates, and any of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, stockholders or members (each, a “Seller Indemnitee”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, such Seller Indemnitee based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement (other than Fundamental Representations in Article 4) or in any certificate or statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

6.4 Certain Limitations. The Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, making a claim under this Article 6 is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article 6 is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. The indemnification provided for in Section 6.2 and Section 6.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to an Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 6.2(a)(i), Section 6.2(b)(i) or Section 6.3(a), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of all Losses subject to indemnification under Section 6.2(a)(i) and 6.2(b)(i), or Section 6.3(a), as applicable, exceeds $480,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for such Losses in excess of the Deductible. With respect to any claim as to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under Section 6.2(a)(i), Section 6.2(b)(i), or Section 6.3(a), the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses that do not exceed $40,000 (which Losses shall not be counted toward the Deductible).

(b) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which a Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i), Section 6.2(a)(ii), Section 6.2(a)(iii), Section 6.2(b)(i), Section 6.2(b)(ii) and Section 6.2(b)(iii) shall not exceed such Seller’s pro-rata portion, as determined pursuant to the Seller Allocation, of the then amount of the Escrow Fund (the “Cap”), and the Escrow Fund shall be the sole recourse for recovery of such Losses. In addition to, and without limiting the foregoing, the aggregate amount of all Losses to which a Seller shall be liable under Section 6.2 shall not exceed the Seller’s pro-rata portion, as determined pursuant to the Seller Allocation, of the Purchase Price.

(c) No Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 6.2 for any Losses arising out of the inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by any other Seller.

(d) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom (i) any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar cash payment actually received by such Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates (including, with respect to Buyer after the Closing, the Company)) from any third party in respect of any such claim (less any costs or expenses associated with receiving such proceeds or payments (including any deductible or any increase or adjustment to insurance premium), and (ii) any reserves provided for the item in question on the Purchase Price Statement as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.3. Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses. In addition, no claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Agreement if and to the extent such claim for Losses has been specifically reflected in the Price Components set forth in the Purchase Price Statement as finally determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.3(b).

(e) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any consequential damages that are not reasonably foreseeable under the circumstances, special damages or punitive damages (except, in each case, to the extent constituting amounts awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction and actually paid to third parties for which indemnification hereunder is applicable or in the case of fraud, criminal activity, willful breach or intentional misconduct) or to the extent any Loss arises from any loss of Tax benefits or Tax detriment arising from the receipt of the indemnity payment or otherwise from the Tax treatment of the indemnity payment.

(f) To the extent required by applicable Law, each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance which does, or would reasonably be expected to, give rise thereto.

6.5 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any claim or other Proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party or a representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve such Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such written notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is a Seller or Sellers, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (v) would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party, (w) relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment or allegation or investigation, (x) is asserted directly or indirectly by or on behalf of a Person that is a material supplier or material customer of the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, as reasonably determined by Buyer, (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or (z) is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.4(b) and asserts an amount of Losses which, when taken together with all amounts paid to Buyer Indemnitees for resolved indemnification claims that are subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.4(b) and the maximum aggregate amount of Losses alleged in all other unresolved indemnification claims that are subject to the limitation set forth in Section 6.4(b), exceeds the Cap. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 6.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 6.5(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.6) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except as provided in this Section 6.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle such Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 6.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If the Seller Representative is prevented from directing the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to clause (z) of the fifth sentence of Section 6.5(a), and Buyer and Seller Representative reasonably believe that an unfavorable resolution of such Third Party Claim would result in the aggregate amount of disbursements to Buyer from the Escrow Fund exceeding the amount of disbursements to Buyer from the Escrow Fund that would be made without regard to such Third Party Claim, taking into account all applicable limitations under Section 6.4(b), then Buyer may not settle or compromise such asserted Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative; provided, that consent to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.5, Section 7.5 herein shall control the Parties’ respective rights with respect to Tax claims.

6.6 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

6.7 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Sellers, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its directors, officers, employees or representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its directors, officers, employees or representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate, unless, in a case where Buyer is seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any inaccurate representation or warranty of the Sellers, the Sellers can demonstrate that on the date hereof the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel of Buyer Parent had actual knowledge and an actual appreciation that such representation or warranty was inaccurate and a Buyer Indemnitee would incur or sustain material Losses as a direct result of such inaccuracy.

6.8 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 8.13, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims hereunder (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation on the part of a Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 6 and Article 7. Nothing in this Section 6.8 shall limit any Party’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 8.13 or to seek any remedy on account of any Party’s fraud, criminal activity, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation.

6.9 Escrow Agreement.

(a) Promptly following the date that is twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare, and Buyer and the Seller Representative shall execute and deliver, joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release any amounts in the Escrow Account as of such date in excess of $2,400,000, to the extent not subject to any unresolved claims for indemnification made by any Buyer Indemnified Party prior to that time (any such amount shall remain in the Escrow Account until the resolution of the matters relating to the applicable unresolved Claim), to the Sellers in accordance with their Seller Allocation.

(b) Promptly following the date that is the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare, and Buyer and the Seller Representative shall execute and deliver, joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release any amounts in the Escrow Account as of such date, to the extent not subject to any unresolved indemnification claims for indemnification made by any Buyer Indemnified Party prior to that time (any such amount shall remain in the Escrow Account until the resolution of the matters relating to the applicable unresolved claim), to the Sellers in accordance with their Seller Allocation.

ARTICLE 7

Tax Matters

7.1 Straddle Period Taxes. For purposes of Article 6 and this Article 7, with respect to any Tax that is payable with respect to a taxable period that begins on or before the Closing Date and that ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Date Share”) shall be deemed to equal: (i) in the case of Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts (including sales and transfer taxes), the amount that would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis and measured by the level of any item (such as real and personal property Taxes and franchise Taxes not based upon gross or net income), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending with the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, the amount of such Tax allocated to the period ending on the Closing Date shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date.

7.2 Tax Returns and Payments.

(a) Sellers shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Tax Returns of the Company with respect to any taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date and shall pay any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns to the extent such Taxes have not been specifically accrued for in the Price Components in the Purchase Price Statement or Estimated Purchase Price Statement. Buyer shall pay to Sellers, in accordance with the Seller Allocation, the excess, if any, of any Taxes specifically accrued for in the Price Components in the Purchase Price Statement or the Estimated Purchase Price Statement over any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Sellers shall cause the Company to make an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code on the Company’s final IRS Form 1065.

(b) Buyer shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Tax Returns by or with respect to the Company for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date and shall remit any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the filing of any such Tax Return, Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Pre-Closing Date Share of any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Return, to the extent such Taxes have not been specifically accrued for in the Price Components in the Purchase Price Statement or Estimated Purchase Price Statement. Buyer shall pay to Sellers, in accordance with the Seller Allocation, the excess, if any, of the Pre-Closing Date Share of Taxes specifically accrued for in the Price Components in the Purchase Price Statement or the Estimated Purchase Price Statement over any Pre-Closing Date Share of Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. With respect to any Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company for any Straddle Period (such Tax Returns, “Straddle Returns”), such Straddle Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law). Buyer shall deliver any Straddle Return to Seller Representative for their review at least twenty five (25) days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is required to be filed (taking into account extensions to which such Straddle Return is subject). If Seller Representative disputes any item on the Straddle Return, it shall notify Buyer of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection and Buyer shall consider such objections in good faith.

7.3 Refunds. Any refunds received by Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (and any equivalent benefit obtained through a reduction in Tax liability for a post-Closing Date period) of Taxes relating to (i) taxable periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date or (ii) any Straddle Period that are allocated to the Sellers under Section 7.1, in each case (x) except to the extent resulting from the carryback of a net operating loss or carryback of another Tax attribute, resulting from any transactions of the Company occurring on or after the Closing Date, or resulting from a payment by Buyer to Sellers pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) and (y) only to the extent not specifically reflected in the Price Components included in the Purchase Price Statement or the Estimated Purchase Price Statement shall be for the account of the Sellers, and Buyer shall pay over to the Sellers, in accordance with the Seller Allocation, the amount of any such refund or benefit (net of any Tax or other cost to Buyer, the Company or any of their Affiliates of the accrual or receipt of such refunds or the utilization such benefits) within five days of the receipt of such refund or benefit. Buyer shall, if the Seller Representative so requests and at the Sellers’ expense, file (or cause to be filed) a claim for any refunds or equivalent amounts to which a Seller is entitled hereunder. Buyer shall permit the Seller Representative to control (at Sellers’ expense) the prosecution of any such refund claimed, provided that such refund would not reasonably cause an adverse effect to Buyer or the Company for any period (or portion thereof) after the Closing.

7.4 Covenants Regarding Certain Actions With Respect to Taxes. Unless required by Law and subject to the provisions of Section 7.5, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) shall amend, re-file or otherwise modify, any election or Tax Return relating in whole or in part to any Seller or the Company with respect to any taxable year or period or portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

7.5 Contests.

(a) After the Closing, Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller Representative in writing of the commencement of any Tax claim on Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer or after the lapse of time would be grounds for indemnification by the Sellers under Section 6.2. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to Buyer) describing the asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such asserted Tax liability. The failure to give the Seller Representative prompt written notice of an asserted Tax liability as required by this Section 7.5(a) shall not affect the Buyer Indemnitees’ right to receive indemnification under Section 6.2 except to the extent that the Sellers are actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Seller Representative may elect to direct, through counsel of its own choosing and at the Sellers’ expense, any claim involving any asserted Tax Liability (i) with respect to which indemnification may be sought from Sellers under Section 6.2 unless the amount of Losses asserted, when taken together with all amounts paid to Buyer Indemnitees for resolved indemnification claims that are subject to the limitation set forth in Section 6.4(b) and the maximum aggregate amount of Losses alleged in all other unresolved indemnification claims that are subject to the limitation set forth in Section 6.4(b) exceeds the Cap, or (ii) that involves any income Tax Return of the Company attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (any such claim, a “Contest”). If the Seller Representative elects to direct the Contest of an asserted Tax liability, (i) the Seller Representative shall within 30 days of receipt of the notice of asserted Tax liability notify Buyer of the Seller Representative’s intent to do so, and Buyer and each of its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) shall cooperate, at the Sellers’ expense, in each phase of such Contest and (ii) the Seller Representative may not settle or compromise any asserted Tax liability over the objection of Buyer; provided, that consent to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Seller Representative elects not to so direct the Contest, fails to notify Buyer of its election as herein provided, or contests the Sellers’ indemnification obligation under Section 6.2, Buyer may pay, compromise or contest, at Sellers’ expense, such asserted Tax liability. In such case, however, Buyer may not settle or compromise any asserted Tax liability over the objection of the Seller Representative; provided, that consent to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Seller Representative is prevented from electing to direct a claim involving an asserted Tax Liability by reason of the limitation in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 7.5(b), and Buyer and Seller Representative reasonably believe that an unfavorable resolution of such claim would result in the aggregate amount of disbursements to Buyer from the Escrow Fund exceeding the amount of disbursements to Buyer from the Escrow Fund that would be made without regard to such claim, taking into account all applicable limitations under Section 6.4(b), then Buyer may not settle or compromise such asserted Tax Liability over the objection of the Seller Representative; provided, that consent to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any event, each of Buyer and the Seller Representative may participate in a Contest controlled by the other Party at its own expense; provided, that, in the case of a Contest controlled by the Seller Representative, Buyer may only participate if not all of the Tax liabilities at issue are subject to indemnification under Section 6.2 or the resolution of the issues involved in the Contest may reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Tax liability of Buyer or the Company for any Tax period beginning after the Closing Date.

7.6 Cooperation and Exchange of Information on Tax Matters After the Closing. The Sellers and the Seller Representative shall provide Buyer, and Buyer and each of its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) shall provide each Seller and the Seller Representative, with such cooperation and information as may reasonably be requested in connection with filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to refund of Taxes or participating in or conducting any claim in respect of Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules and related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Tax Authorities. Buyer shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Each Party will retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers and all material records or other documents relating to Tax matters of the Company for its taxable period first ending after the Closing Date and for all prior taxable periods until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other Party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods, or (ii) six (6) years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Any information obtained under this Section 7.6 shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims in respect of Taxes.

7.7 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) Allocation of Purchase Price. No later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller Representative shall in good faith work together to jointly prepare a statement (the “Allocation Schedule”) to allocate the Purchase Price (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include liabilities that are deemed to be assumed) among the assets of the Company (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Buyer and Sellers agree that the allocation required to be prepared pursuant to this Section 7.7(a) shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Parties, based upon the Purchase Price Allocation set forth on the Allocation Schedule, shall prepare and file their respective Tax Returns consistent with the reporting requirements of Section 1060 of the Code including IRS Form 8594, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law and shall take no positions contrary thereto in any Tax Return or other Tax filing or proceeding unless otherwise required by applicable Law. In the event that Buyer and Seller Representative are unable to agree upon a joint allocation of the Purchase Price, then subject to the second sentence of this Section 7.7(a), each Party may allocate the Purchase Price in a manner it deems appropriate.

(b) Income Tax Treatment of the Transaction. The purchase by Buyer of the Units from the Sellers is intended to be treated in accordance with Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432 (Situation 2) and constitute from the perspective of the Sellers a sale on the Closing Date of their partnership interests in the Company pursuant to Section 741 of the Code and from the perspective of Buyer a purchase on the Closing Date of the Company’s assets, and the Parties shall report on their respective Tax Returns Buyer’s acquisition of Units in a manner consistent with the foregoing, and shall not take a position in any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to any such Tax Return inconsistent with the foregoing, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

7.8 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other similar Taxes and fees (including any additional amounts, penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the transactions provided for in this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Buyer, and paid by Buyer when due. Buyer shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

7.9 Miscellaneous.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Article 7 shall govern all Tax matters involving the Company after the Closing Date.

(b) For purposes of this Article 7, all references to Buyer, the Sellers, or the Company shall include any successors thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Article 7 shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations (taking into account any extensions or waivers thereof).

8.8 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction).

(b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY SHALL BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY'S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(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 CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT 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, (i) 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 8.8(c).

8.9 Legal Representation. The Parties agree that the fact that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ LLP has represented the Company, the Seller Representative, certain Sellers and certain of their respective Affiliates prior to Closing shall not prevent ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ LLP from representing the Sellers, the Seller Representative or any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective equityholders, officers or managers, in connection with any matters involving, including without limitation any disputes between, any of the Parties after Closing. The Parties agree to take the steps necessary to ensure that any privilege attaching as a result of legal counsel representing the Company in connection with this transaction will survive Closing and will remain in effect, provided that such privilege from and after the Closing will be controlled by the Seller Representative.

8.10 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Buyer and the Seller Representative. No waiver by Buyer of any right or remedy hereunder shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Buyer. No waiver by the Sellers, or any of them, of any right or remedy hereunder shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Seller Representative. No waiver by any Party with respect to any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any such prior or subsequent occurrence.

8.11 Severability. If any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

8.12 Disclosure Schedule. A disclosure made by Sellers in any section of the Disclosure Schedule (or subparts thereof) shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement, to have been made with respect to all such other sections of the Disclosure Schedule (or subparts thereof) to the extent its relevance to another section of the Disclosure Schedule (or subparts thereof) is readily apparent. Information reflected in the Disclosure Schedule is not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedule. Such additional information is set forth for informational purposes and does not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Disclosure of such additional information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed and disclosure of such information shall not be deemed to enlarge or enhance any of the representations or warranties in this Agreement or otherwise alter in any way the terms of this Agreement. Inclusion of information in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that such information is material to the business of the Company.

8.13 Specific Performance. Each of the Parties agrees and acknowledges that monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy for breach of, or failure to perform, any provision of this Agreement, and that breach of, or failure to perform, this Agreement will result in immeasurable and irreparable harm to the other Parties. Therefore, in addition to any other remedy to which a Party may be entitled by reason of another Party’s breach of any provision of this Agreement, such Party shall be entitled to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, from any court of competent jurisdiction restraining any other Party from committing or continuing any breach of, and shall be entitled to an award of specific performance from any court of competent jurisdiction requiring any other Party to comply with its obligations under, any provision of this Agreement, in each case without any requirement to post any bond. The foregoing shall be in addition to any other remedy to which a Party is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

8.14 Separate Counsel. The Parties hereto have had the opportunity to consult with their own legal counsel and other advisors and are entering into this Agreement voluntarily and with a full understanding of the meaning and legal effects of each provision contained in this Agreement. The Parties and their respective legal counsel, if applicable, have been involved in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event of any dispute regarding the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, the Parties agree that this Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

8.15 Seller Representative.

(a) Each Seller hereby appoints Burrito Investment Group LLC (solely in its capacity as such, and not in its capacity as Seller, the “Seller Representative”) as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act, including full power of substitution, in such Seller’s name and on its behalf with respect to any and all matters arising from or in any way relating to the provisions of this Agreement expressly providing for the Seller Representative to act on behalf of the Sellers, including with respect to Section 1.3, Article 6, Article 7 and the Escrow Agreement, as fully as such Seller could if then present and acting alone. The Seller Representative shall have the power to enforce the obligations, covenants and agreements of each Seller under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreements entered into by the Seller Representative in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Seller Transaction Agreements”), in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) any communication or other delivery validly delivered to the Seller Representative shall be deemed to have been validly delivered to each of the Sellers, (b) any waiver of any provision of any Seller Transaction Agreement or consent, or compromise of any claim arising from or relating to this Agreement or any Seller Transaction Agreement, by the Seller Representative shall be binding upon each and every Seller, and (c) the Seller Representative is hereby authorized to execute for and on behalf of each Seller (i) any amendment to this Agreement or any Seller Transaction Agreement that does not adversely affect any Seller with respect to any other Seller or (ii) any other agreement, document, certificate or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby. All such actions shall be deemed to be facts ascertainable outside this Agreement and shall be binding on the Sellers as a matter of contract law. Buyer shall be entitled to rely (without investigation) on any action taken by the Seller Representative as being taken by the Seller Representative for himself and on behalf of each of the Sellers, and fully authorized by each of the Sellers. This appointment of agency and this power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any Seller or by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity of any Seller or the occurrence of any other event, and any action taken by the Seller Representative shall be as valid as if such death, incapacity or other event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not any Seller or the Seller Representative shall have received any notice thereof. In the event the Seller Representative refuses or is no longer capable of serving as the Seller Representative hereunder, then Sellers holding at least a majority of the Units immediately prior to the Closing shall promptly appoint a successor Seller Representative who shall thereafter be a successor Seller Representative hereunder and the Seller Representative shall serve until such successor is duly appointed and qualified to act hereunder. No bond will be required of the Seller Representative. The Seller Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any act done or omitted hereunder as Seller Representative while acting in good faith and in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct. The Sellers shall indemnify, severally in accordance with the Seller Allocation and not jointly, the Seller Representative and hold the Seller Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Seller Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Seller Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Seller Representative.

(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall provide the Seller Representative with reasonable access to information of or about the Company and the reasonable assistance of the Company’s officers, managers and employees for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its rights hereunder, provided that the Seller Representative shall (i) treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information from or about the Company (except on a need to know basis to the Seller Representative’s retained advisors for such matter who agree to treat such information confidentially, or as required by applicable Law or requested by any Governmental Entity) and (ii) not have access to materials or information that, in the reasonable discretion of Buyer, could result in the loss of attorney-client privilege by the Company.

(c) The Representative Expenses Escrow Fund shall be held by the Seller Representative in a segregated account and shall be a source of funds for the Seller Representative to perform its duties and obligations as Seller Representative. In the event that the Seller Representative incurs any out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including, without limitation, any legal costs and expenses) in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder, the Seller Representative shall be entitled to reimburse itself for such costs and expenses out of the Representative Expenses Escrow Fund. The Seller Representative shall retain an itemized list of such reimbursed costs and expenses, and reasonable documentation with respect thereto. As soon as practicable after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller Representative shall disburse the Representative Expenses Escrow Fund to the Sellers in accordance with their Seller Allocation; provided, however that the Seller Representative shall be entitled to retain an amount from the Representative Expenses Escrow Fund that it reasonably anticipates will be necessary to cover anticipated costs and expenses to be incurred by the Seller Representative in the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder (which amount shall remain available for reimbursement by the Seller Representative hereunder). In the event that the Seller Representative concludes, in its sole discretion, that any such amount retained is no longer necessary to cover anticipated costs and expenses, the Seller Representative shall disburse such amount to the Sellers in accordance with the Seller Allocation.

(d) Promptly following the Incentive Company’s receipt of its portion of the Closing Payment and any amount from the Escrow Fund or the Representative Expenses Escrow Fund, the Incentive Company shall, and the Seller Representative, as Manager of the Incentive Company, shall cause the Incentive Company to, distribute such amount (less any costs and expenses incurred by the Incentive Company and any reasonable reserves for anticipated costs and expenses) to the members of the Incentive Company in accordance with the Incentive Company Operating Agreement, subject to any withholding required to be made by the Incentive Company.

8.16 Buyer Parent Guaranty. Buyer Parent fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Sellers the full, complete and timely compliance with and performance of all agreements, covenants and obligations of Buyer and, after the Closing, the Company under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including Buyer’s obligation to satisfy all indemnification and other payment obligations of Buyer arising in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, in each case, when and to the extent that, any of the same shall become due and payable or performance of or compliance with any of the same shall be required (the “Buyer Obligations” and such guaranty, the “Buyer Parent Guaranty”). The Buyer Parent Guaranty constitutes an irrevocable and continuing guarantee of payment and performance and Buyer Parent shall be liable for any breach of any of the Buyer Obligations. The Buyer Parent Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on Buyer Parent and its successors and assigns until all Buyer Obligations have been satisfied in full (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be deemed to have occurred until the date following the date on which all indemnification obligations of Buyer under this Agreement expire).

8.17 Construction.

(a) Any reference herein to “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.

(b) The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereby”, “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole.
