This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “Agreement”), effective this 22nd day of January, 2021, is by and among (i) MGP Ingredients, Inc., a Kansas corporation (“Buyer”); (ii) Luxco Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LGH”); (iii) LRD Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LRDH”); (iv) LDL Holdings DE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LDLH”); (v) KY Limestone Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“KYLH” and, together with LGH, LRDH and LDLH, each, a “Company” and, collectively, the “Companies”); (vi) Donn S. Lux, as Sellers’ Representative (“Sellers’ Representative”), (vii) London HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HoldCo”); and (viii) upon signing a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Seller Joinder Agreement”), the shareholders of HoldCo set forth on the attached Schedule 1 (each a “Seller,” and collectively, the “Sellers”). Buyer, HoldCo, the Companies and Sellers’ Representative, and, contingent upon signing the Seller Joinder Agreement, the Sellers, are sometimes individually referred to as a “Party,” and collectively, as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

A. The Parties desire to effect a business combination through the following transactions, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement:

1. on the Closing Date, the Sellers will contribute to HoldCo all of the equity interests of (i) LGH, in exchange for the number of shares of HoldCo Class A Stock set forth on Schedule 1; (ii) LRDH, in exchange for the number of shares of HoldCo Class B Stock set forth on Schedule 1; (iii) LDLH, in exchange for the number of shares of HoldCo Class C Stock set forth on Schedule 1; and KYLH, in exchange for the number of shares of HoldCo Class D Stock set forth on Schedule 1 (collectively, the “Contribution”);

2. immediately following the Contribution, HoldCo will merge with and into Buyer (the “Merger”), with Buyer continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the Kansas General Corporation Code (the “KGCC”) and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”); and

3. immediately following the Merger, Buyer will cause LGH to merge with and into London Merger Sub 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is wholly-owned by Buyer, with London Merger Sub 1, LLC surviving such merger (the “LGH Merger”) and LRDH to merge with and into London Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is wholly-owned by Buyer, with London Merger Sub 2, LLC surviving such merger, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “LRDH Merger”, and, together with the LGH Merger, the “Subsidiary Mergers”).

B. The consummation of the Contribution, the Merger and the Subsidiary Mergers are part of an overall integrated plan, and the Parties intend, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes:

1. that the transitory existence of HoldCo will be disregarded for all U.S. federal income Tax purposes;

2. that the acquisition by Buyer of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each of LDLH and KYLH pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as a transaction that is governed by IRS Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1991 C.B. 432, situation 2;

3. that the Contribution, the Merger and the LGH Merger, taken together, will constitute an integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code;

4. that the Contribution, the Merger and the LRDH Merger taken together, will constitute an integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; and

5. with respect to each of clauses 3 and 4 above, that this Agreement constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Section 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).

C. The Board of Directors or Board of Managers, as applicable, of each Party has unanimously approved the Transactions in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and determined that the Transactions are advisable and in the best interests of their respective shareholders or members, and has approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Transactions.

D. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Sellers will appoint Donn S. Lux as Sellers’ Representative, as described herein.

E. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer has entered into (i) employment agreements or offer letters with the Companies’ employees listed on Schedule E-1, and (ii) the Non-Competition Agreements with each of the Persons listed on Schedule E-2, in the form of Exhibit E (the “Non-Competition Agreements”), and the effectiveness of such agreements is conditioned upon the Closing of the Merger.

The “Adjustment Amount” with respect to a class of stock means the net amount (which may be positive or negative) of all increases or decreases to the Relevant Net Closing Cash Adjustment and the Relevant Assumed Debt Amount obtained by comparing the items and amounts set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement to the respective items and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement pursuant to this Section 2.4.

(c) Examination and Review. Sellers’ Representative shall have 30 days after receipt of the Closing Statement (the “Adjustment Review Period”) to review the Closing Statement. During the Adjustment Review Period, Sellers’ Representative and his accountants and other representatives shall have reasonable access to the books and records of the Company Group Members, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by or relied upon by, Buyer and the Company Group Members and/or Buyer’s and the Company Group Members’ accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s or the Company Group Members’ possession) to the extent relating to the Closing Statement and, without limiting the foregoing in any respect, all records, work papers and computations used by Buyer and/or Buyer’s accountants in the preparation of the Closing Statement as Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request for the purposes of reviewing the Closing Statement and preparing a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Company Group Members.

(d) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Adjustment Review Period, Sellers’ Representative may object to the Closing Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Sellers’ Representative’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item and amount and the basis for Sellers’ Representative’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”) along with supporting documentation thereof. Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to have waived any rights to object under this Section 2.4(d) for any item and amount not specifically included on the Statement of Objections. If Sellers’ Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period, the Closing Statement and the Adjustment Amount with respect to each class of HoldCo Stock, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Statement shall be final and binding upon the Parties. If Sellers’ Representative timely delivers the Statement of Objections, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if such objections are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Adjustment Amount with respect to each class of HoldCo Stock and the Closing Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative, shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The Buyer and Sellers’ Representative may extend the Resolution Period by mutual agreement.

(e) Resolution of Disputes. If Sellers’ 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 amounts included in a timely delivered Statement of Objections and remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the Accounting Expert who, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall fully and finally resolve the Disputed Amounts and make any adjustments to the Adjustment Amount with

respect to each class of HoldCo Stock, as the case may be, and the Closing Statement. Any amounts that are not included in the Disputed Amounts will be deemed to be resolved and will not be submitted to the Accounting Expert. The Parties agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Accounting Expert shall only decide the Disputed Amounts in the Closing Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively, each of which must be submitted within the applicable time periods and on the terms specified in this Section 2.4 in order to be considered by the Accounting Expert. The Parties will provide the Accounting Expert with all documents requested by it as soon as practicable. The Accounting Expert will be instructed to grant Buyer and Sellers’ Representative the opportunity to state their points of view in written opening submissions followed by response submissions. No other submissions shall be allowed except at the discretion of the Accounting Expert upon a showing of good cause. All written submissions by Buyer or Sellers’ Representative shall be submitted contemporaneously to the Accounting Expert and will be delivered simultaneously to the other Party. There shall be no ex parte communication with the Accounting Expert. Upon request by a Party or at its own election, the Accounting Expert will conduct a hearing on any Disputed Amounts or items that remain in dispute following Buyer’s and the Sellers’ Representative’s written submissions.

(f) Fees of the Accounting Expert. The Accounting Expert shall determine the proportion of its fees and expenses to be paid by Sellers’ Representative and Buyer, respectively, which shall be provided within its report, by multiplying the total amount of such fees and expenses by a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference between the Aggregate Adjustment Amount as determined by the Accounting Expert and the Aggregate Adjustment Amount as proposed by Sellers’ Representative (on the one hand) and Buyer (on the other hand) and the denominator of which is the difference between the Aggregate Adjustment Amount proposed by Buyer and the Aggregate Adjustment Amount proposed by Sellers’ Representative. The “Aggregate Adjustment Amount” means the sum, which could be a negative amount, of the Adjustment Amount, each of which could be a negative amount, with respect to each class of HoldCo Stock.

(g) Determination by Accounting Expert. The Accounting Expert shall make a determination as soon as practicable following Buyer’s and Sellers’ Representative’s submissions and any hearing conducted. The Accounting Expert’s resolution of the Disputed Amounts and its adjustments to the Closing Statement and/or the Adjustment Amount with respect to each class of HoldCo Stock shall be set forth in a written report provided to the Buyer and Sellers’ Representative detailing such calculations and the rationale for such calculations, which report shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties hereto, absent manifest error or Fraud. In arriving at the final determinations, the Accounting Expert shall be bound by the principles set forth in this Section 2.4, and shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Buyer or Sellers’ Representative or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Buyer or Sellers’ Representative. The failure of the Accounting Expert to strictly conform to any deadline or time period set forth herein shall not render the determination of the Accounting Expert invalid and shall not be a basis for seeking to overturn any determination rendered by the Accounting Expert.

(h) Final Adjustment Amount. “Final Adjustment Amount” with respect to each class of HoldCo Stock shall mean the Adjustment Amount with respect to such class of HoldCo Stock: (i) as shown in Buyer’s Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(b) if Sellers’ Representative does not deliver a Statement of Objections with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.4(d); or (ii) if such a Statement of Objections is delivered, (A) as agreed upon by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.4(e) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as determined by in the Accounting Expert pursuant to Section 2.4(g).

(i) Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment. Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount with respect to each class of HoldCo Stock: (i) if the Net Final Adjustment Amount is negative and the absolute value of the Net Final Adjustment Amount is less than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, an amount equal to the absolute value of the Net Final Adjustment Amount shall be released from the Adjustment Escrow Amount to Buyer with the remaining portion released to Sellers’ Representative (for disbursement to Sellers); (ii) if the Net Final Adjustment Amount is negative and the absolute value of the Net Final Adjustment Amount is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, the Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be released to Buyer and the unpaid portion of the Net Final Adjustment Amount shall, within 5 Business Days, be paid by Sellers to Buyer in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank

account for Buyer set forth on the Funds Flow Statement or as otherwise provided to Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 11.6, at least 2 Business Days prior to the payment thereof; and (iii) if the Net Final Adjustment Amount is positive, Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Net Final Adjustment Amount, pay to Sellers’ Representative the amount by which the Net Final Adjustment Amount exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Sellers’ Representative as set forth on the Funds Flow Statement or as otherwise provided to Buyer, pursuant to Section 11.6, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the payment thereof, and the entire amount of the Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be released to Sellers’ Representative (for disbursement to Sellers). With respect to each class of HoldCo Stock, the Sellers thereof shall be liable on a Joint and Several Basis to Buyer for any amounts payable to Buyer pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. Sellers’ Representative shall distribute the appropriate Relevant Final Adjustment Amount to the holders of each class of HoldCo Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Class A Final Adjustment Amount or the Class B Final Adjustment Amount is positive, the additional amount transferred to Sellers’ Representative by Buyer with respect to such adjustments shall be funded fifty percent (50%) in cash and fifty percent (50%) in Buyer Common Stock, with the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock determined based upon the Buyer Stock Price.

(j) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

(k) Preparation and Review of the Estimated Closing Statement and Closing Statement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Estimated Closing Statement and the Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments. All calculations of the Class A Net Closing Cash Adjustment, the Class B Net Closing Cash Adjustment, the Class C Net Closing Cash Adjustment, the Class D Net Closing Cash Adjustment, the Class A Cash Consideration, the Class B Cash Consideration, the Class C Cash Consideration and the Class D Cash Consideration (or any components thereof) shall be made after eliminating any intercompany items between or among any of the Company Group Members.

2.5. Stock Consideration.

(a) No fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock will be issued in connection with any payments made under this Agreement, but in lieu thereof each Seller that would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Buyer Common Stock shall receive from Buyer an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction and (ii) the Buyer Stock Price.

(b) If, between the date hereof and the Closing, the Buyer Common Stock shall have been changed into a materially different number of shares or different class solely by reason of any reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, split up, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, stock dividend or stock distribution, or any similar event shall have occurred, the Stock Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to Sellers the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(c) Each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that each certificate or book-entry share representing the Stock Consideration, and any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor shall bear a legend in the following form (in addition to any other legend required under applicable state securities Laws) (and a comparable notation or other arrangement will be made with respect to any uncertificated Stock Consideration):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO OR UNLESS THE ISSUER RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY

ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

2.6. Withholding Rights.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer and the Company Group Members shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise deliverable under or in connection with this Agreement, such amounts as Buyer, Company Group Members or their Affiliates may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such deliveries and payments under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, they shall be (i) remitted by Buyer or the applicable Company Group Member to the relevant Taxing Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (ii) to the extent so remitted, treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

5.2. Access to Information.

(a) From the date hereof until the Closing, the Companies shall, and shall cause the Company Group Members to, (i) afford Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access to, and a reasonable right to inspect all of the Real Property, properties, assets, premises, books and records, Contracts and other documents and data of the Company Group Members; (ii) furnish Buyer and its Representatives with such financial, operating and other data and information related to the Company Group Members as Buyer or any of its Representatives may reasonably request; and (iii) instruct the Representatives of Sellers and the Company Group Members to cooperate with Buyer in its investigation of the Company Group Members. Buyer and its Affiliates and Representatives shall be permitted, with the coordination and oversight of the Companies, to contact any Distributor solely regarding the distribution of Products following the Closing (it being understood that a Representative of the Companies shall participate in any such contact). Without limiting the foregoing, the Companies shall permit Buyer and its Representatives to conduct surveys of the Real Property and non-invasive environmental due diligence of the Company Group Members and the Real Property, including conducting Phase I environmental site assessment or similar non-invasive environmental assessment as may be typically conducted in the relevant country. Invasive environmental due diligence, including the collection and analysis of samples of indoor or outdoor air, surface water, groundwater or surface or subsurface land, shall only be conducted to the extent reasonably necessary to address the finding of a reputable third-party environmental consultant in a non-invasive environmental site assessment and only upon the consent of the Companies, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company Group Members.

(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall, and cause the Company Group Members to, provide to the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative and their respective Representatives with reasonable access (for the purpose of examining and copying), during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to the books and records of the Company Group Members with respect to periods or occurrences prior to the Closing Date and reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to employees of each of Buyer and the Company Group Members, in each case for the sole purpose of complying with any applicable Tax Laws related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, or other Tax, financial reporting and regulatory requirements or any other reasonable business purpose, provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Company Group Members. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Sellers’ Representative, neither Buyer nor the Company Group

Members shall, for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records of the Company Group Members for any period prior to the Closing Date without first offering to surrender to Sellers’ Representative such books and records or any portion thereof which Buyer or the Company Group Members may intend to destroy, alter or dispose of.

5.3. No Solicitation of Other Bids.

(a) Each Seller, HoldCo and the Companies shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of their Affiliates (including the Company Group Members) or any of their Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) encourage, solicit, initiate, facilitate or continue inquiries regarding an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person concerning a possible Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into any agreements or other instruments (whether or not binding) regarding an Acquisition Proposal. Each Seller, HoldCo and the Companies shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause their Affiliates (including the Company Group Members) and all of its or their Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes hereof, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Buyer or any of its Affiliates) concerning (i) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving any Company Group Member; (ii) the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock or other equity securities of any Company Group Member; or (iii) the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any significant portion of any Company Group Member’s properties or assets (it being understood that such restriction is not intended to apply to sales of finished goods in the Ordinary Course).

(b) In addition to the other obligations under this Section 5.3, HoldCo shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof by any Seller, HoldCo or any Company Group Member or any of their Affiliates or Representatives) advise Buyer orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, any request for information with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the Person making the same. Each Seller and each Company shall promptly inform HoldCo of the receipt of any information or other communications that would trigger a reporting obligation by HoldCo pursuant to the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Seller Approval, the Board of Directors or Board of Managers, as applicable, of HoldCo and the Companies, directly or indirectly through their Representatives, may, subject to compliance with Section 5.3(a), (i) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Person that, subject to HoldCo’s and the Companies’ compliance with Section 5.3(a), has made after the date of this Agreement a Superior Proposal or an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors or Board of Managers, as applicable, of HoldCo or the Companies determines in good faith (after considering the advice of a reputable financial advisor and such Party’s outside legal counsel) is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (ii) thereafter furnish to such Person nonpublic information relating to the Company Group Members pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) only if the Board of Directors or Board of Managers, as applicable, of HoldCo or the Companies determines in good faith by a majority vote, after considering advice from outside legal counsel to such Party, that the failure to take such action is inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal on terms that the Board of Directors or Board of Managers, as applicable, of HoldCo or the Companies determines in good faith by a majority vote, after considering the advice of a reputable financial advisor and outside legal counsel to such Party, would result in a transaction that, if consummated, is more favorable in the aggregate to the Sellers than the Transactions, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and this Agreement.

(c) HoldCo and the Companies agree that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 5.3 shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to Buyer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Buyer.

5.4. Seller Approval, Seller Joinder Agreements and Buyer Shareholder Approval.

Except in the case of a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors or Board of Managers of HoldCo or the Companies, as applicable (in its capacity as such), shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Seller Approval and the execution of a Seller Joinder Agreement by each Seller within one (1) day following the date of this Agreement. The Board of Directors of Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Buyer Shareholder Approval within one (1) day following the date of this Agreement.

5.5. Further Assurances.

From and after the Closing Date, at the request of any Party (and at such requesting Party’s expense), the applicable Party shall execute and deliver to the requesting Party, or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of such Party to the requesting Party, such instruments and other documents, and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions, as the requesting Party may reasonably request as are necessary to implement the Transactions, including the execution, delivery or filing with appropriate Governmental Authorities of any further notices, surrenders or terminations of any Permits of, or other appropriate documentation from, the Company Group Members required under applicable Alcohol Laws or requested by a Governmental Authority, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

5.6. Press Release and Announcements.

Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange regulations (in which case the Party making such determination will, if practicable in the circumstances, use reasonable efforts to allow the other Parties reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of its issuance), no Party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements or otherwise communicate with any news media in respect of this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of each of Buyer and Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement; provided that (i) Buyer will issue a press release and file a Form 8-K before the Nasdaq market opens the day following the receipt of the Seller Approval and the Buyer Shareholder Approval, which disclosures will be in form and substance mutually satisfactory to the Parties; (ii) Buyer and the Company Group Members will each notify their employees about the Transactions on the day following the receipt of the Seller Approval and the Buyer Shareholder Approval and such communications will be in form and substance mutually satisfactory to Buyer and Sellers’ Representative; and (iii) after the first public announcement of this Agreement, any Party may make disclosures of then-current public information regarding this Agreement and the Transactions. In the event Buyer or Sellers’ Representative has approved or been consulted with respect to any disclosures as required hereunder, any Party or its Affiliates shall be entitled to make disclosures substantially similar (as to form and content) to those prior disclosures that Buyer or Sellers’ Representative, as applicable, has approved or been consulted with respect to, as applicable. Nothing herein shall prevent the Company Group Members and Buyer from communicating with their respective employees with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions following the initial communications referred to above; provided, however, that the Company Group Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with Buyer prior to any such communication with regard to the content and timing of such communication.

5.7. Expenses.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall bear its respective expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that (i) the HSR filing fees and any fees associated with filings under any other Antitrust Laws shall be paid 50% by Buyer and 50% by Sellers, and (ii) Buyer shall be fully responsible for the premiums, fees and other costs associated with the RWI Policy.

5.8. Waiver and Release.

(a) Each Seller, on behalf of itself and each trustee and beneficiary of such Seller and each Person that is directly or indirectly controlled by any such Persons, and the successors and assigns of each (individually, a “Releasor”) FULLY AND FINALLY RELEASES, ACQUITS AND FOREVER DISCHARGES, AND COVENANTS NOT TO SUE, the Company Group Members, Buyer and their respective Affiliates (and, to the extent they would be liable in respect of their position with the foregoing, each of the present and former officers, directors, stockholders, members, partners, managers, representatives, employees, agents, Affiliates, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, assigns, beneficiaries, heirs, executors, insurers, personal representatives and attorneys of the foregoing) (the “Released Parties”) from or for any and all Actions, Liens, Contracts, offers, Liabilities and compensation of any kind or nature whatsoever, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, MATURED OR UNMATURED, FIXED OR CONTINGENT, PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE, IN LAW OR IN EQUITY, which Releasors now have, have ever had or may hereafter have against the Released Parties arising contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing Date or on account of or arising out of any matter, cause or event occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the waiver and release contained in this Section 5.8 shall not extend to any rights that may accrue to any such Releasor, or any obligations owed to such Releasor, under the terms of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, or any other certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto. In compliance with any Law which requires a specific release of unknown claims or benefits, each Seller acknowledges that this release includes a release of unknown claims (except claims of Fraud), and hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any and all such claims, rights or benefits that such may have which are unknown at the effective time of this release. Each Party understands and agrees that if, hereafter, it discovers facts different from or in addition to those that it now knows or believes to be true, that the waivers and releases granted hereby will be and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding such different or additional facts or the discovery of such facts except in the case of claims of Fraud.

(b) Each Seller further agrees not to institute any Action, and will not cooperate or assist in any such Action, against the Released Parties, or any of them, pursuing any matter released pursuant to Section 5.8(a).

(c) Each Seller represents that it has not assigned and agrees that it will not assign any matter released pursuant to Section 5.8(a) to any other Person.

(d) It is understood and agreed that each Company Group Member (on behalf of itself and the other Released Parties) does not admit any Liability regarding the matters released hereby.

5.9. Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Upon receipt of the Seller Approval and the execution of a Seller Joinder Agreement by each Seller, Donn S. Lux is hereby appointed and authorized as the Sellers’ Representative, to serve as the representative, agent and attorney in fact of each Seller with respect to the matters expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to be performed by Sellers’ Representative. Sellers’ Representative has full power and authority on behalf of Sellers to do anything necessary or appropriate to carry out, perform or enforce any obligations or rights of Sellers under or in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including the power and authority to (i) execute, deliver and perform his obligations under the Escrow Agreement, execute any instructions or directions to the Escrow Agent with respect to disbursements or other matters thereunder and take such further actions under the Escrow Agreement as Sellers’ Representative deems to be necessary or desirable in the sole discretion of Sellers’ Representative; (ii) execute, deliver and perform his obligations under the PPP Loan Escrow Agreement, execute any instructions or directions to the PPP Loan Bank with respect to disbursements or other matters thereunder and take such further actions under the PPP Loan Escrow Agreement as Sellers’ Representative deems to be necessary or desirable in the sole discretion of Sellers’ Representative; (iii) execute and deliver any Ancillary Agreements (with such modifications or changes therein as to which Sellers’ Representative, in his sole discretion, has consented) and to agree to such amendments or modifications thereto as Sellers’ Representative, in his sole discretion, determines to be necessary or desirable; (iv) execute and deliver such

waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions as Sellers’ Representative, in his sole discretion, determines to be necessary or desirable; (v) collect and receive all moneys and other proceeds and property payable to Sellers’ Representative from the Adjustment Escrow Amount, the PPP Loan Escrow Amount or otherwise as described herein (including any portion of the Final Adjustment Amount) or in any Ancillary Agreement, (vi) give and receive notices and communications on behalf of Sellers in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and related matters, including in connection with Claims under Article VIII, (vii) agree to, negotiate, and enter into settlements, adjustments and compromises of, and to conduct dispute resolution and comply with Orders of courts arbitrators with respect to, such Claims, and (viii) take all other actions that are either (A) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Sellers’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (B) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Such agency may be changed by Sellers from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Buyer; provided, that Sellers’ Representative may not be removed unless a majority in interest of Sellers agree in writing to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. A vacancy in the position of Sellers’ Representative may be filled by a majority in interest of Sellers. No bond will be required of Sellers’ Representative. Notices or communications to or from Sellers’ Representative will constitute notice to or from Sellers. The grant of authority provided for herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and survives the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Seller. All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement will survive the Closing Date and any termination of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Sellers’ Representative will not be liable to any Seller for any act done or omitted hereunder as Sellers’ Representative while acting in good faith. Sellers will indemnify Sellers’ Representative and hold Sellers’ Representative harmless against any Liability incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of Sellers’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of Sellers’ Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by Sellers’ Representative (the “Sellers’ Representative Expenses”). At the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Sellers’ Representative Holdback Amount to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account provided by Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers’ Representative Holdback Amount shall constitute a non-exclusive source of reimbursement for any Sellers’ Representative Expenses. If any portion of the Sellers’ Representative Holdback Amount remains unused following the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, and such amount is not then reasonably expected to be used for Sellers’ Representative Expenses, the remainder of the Sellers’ Representative Holdback Amount shall be disbursed to the Sellers (in accordance with each Seller’s proportionate share of the Merger Consideration). Upon any payment to Sellers of amounts from the Adjustment Escrow Amount, the PPP Loan Escrow Amount and any portion of the Final Adjustment Amount (which, for the avoidance of doubt, would be paid to Sellers’ Representative (for disbursement to Sellers)), Sellers’ Representative will have the right to recover Sellers’ Representative Expenses from each Seller (in accordance with each Seller’s proportionate share of the Merger Consideration).

(c) Sellers acknowledge and agree that any payments made by Buyer, or any of its Affiliates, to Sellers’ Representative will constitute payment of amounts due (including the Merger Consideration) for such payment obligations of Buyer under the terms of this Agreement as though such payments were made directly to the applicable Seller. Sellers’ Representative will distribute promptly to the applicable Seller (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) all such amounts received from Buyer under this Agreement. It shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility and obligation of Sellers’ Representative to make appropriate and proportional distribution of such payments to Sellers.

(d) A decision, act, consent or instruction of Sellers’ Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement, will constitute a decision of all Sellers and will be final, binding and conclusive. Buyer and its Affiliates are entitled to rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of Sellers’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of all Sellers. Buyer and its Affiliates are hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of Sellers’ Representative.

5.10. Employee Matters.

(a) Except for Business Employees that are listed on Schedule E-1 and have received and signed an employment agreement or offer letter from Buyer or are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, (i) for a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, Buyer and its Affiliates shall provide to each Business Employee who is employed by Buyer and its Subsidiaries during such period or relevant portion of such period a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, and an annual cash bonus opportunity that are at least as favorable as the base salary or wage rate, as applicable, and annual cash bonus opportunity provided to such Business Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) for the year ended December 31, 2021, Buyer and its Affiliates shall provide to each Business Employee who is employed by Buyer and its Subsidiaries during such period or relevant portion of such period benefits that are at least as favorable as the benefits provided to such Business Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall provide, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide, each Business Employee with full credit for all service with the Company Group Members prior to the Effective Time for all purposes, including eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant, under any employee benefit plans, arrangements, and employment-related entitlements (including under any applicable 401(k), savings, medical, dental, life insurance, vacation, long service leave or other leave entitlements, severance or separation pay plans) provided, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries to the same extent recognized by the Company Group Members under the applicable employee benefit plans, arrangements and employment-related entitlements; provided, however, that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall or shall cause its Subsidiaries to take commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) allow each Business Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by Buyer and its Subsidiaries in which the Business Employees participate to the extent coverage under any such plan replaces coverage under a comparable plan in which such Business Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time; and (ii) for purposes of each plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision and/or disability benefits to any Business Employee, waive all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such plan for such Business Employee and his or her covered dependents, and provide full credit for any eligible expenses incurred by such Business Employee and his or her covered dependents during any unfinished portion of the plan year ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding new plan begins for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Business Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such new plan.

(c) Buyer or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, will offer and provide COBRA continuation coverage for all “M&A Qualified Beneficiaries” as that term is defined in section 54.4980B-9 of the Treasury Regulations including former employees of Company Group Members or their dependents whose COBRA qualifying events occurred prior to the Closing Date and whose COBRA coverage is in effect as of the Closing Date, or whose election period for choosing such COBRA coverage has not ended as of the Closing Date.

(d) No provision of this Agreement shall constitute an amendment to any employee benefit or compensation plan, policy agreement or arrangement of Buyer, the Company Group Members, or their respective Affiliates, or obligate Buyer or the Company Group Members to provide any compensation or benefits to any Business Employee for any period of time or in any way limit Buyer’s or the Company Group Members’ ability to change the compensation or benefits it offers to its employees.

5.11. Company Information.

Prior to Closing, HoldCo and the Companies shall (x) reasonably cooperate promptly with, and to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their Affiliates and their Representatives to cooperate promptly with, Buyer and its Representatives in connection with the preparation of the Required Financial Statements and to consider in good faith all of Buyer’s reasonable comments in connection therewith (but shall be under no

compulsion to accept the same), (y) reasonably assist promptly, and use their reasonable best efforts to cause their Representatives to assist promptly, Buyer and its Representatives in connection with the preparation of any filings, documents, or other materials, including any pro forma financial statements and the consent of any auditors to the filing of the audited Required Financial Statements, that may be required in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions, or otherwise in connection with Buyer’s reporting obligations or public offerings under applicable federal securities Laws, including all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and Regulation S-X, and (z) reasonably supply promptly and further furnish promptly, and use their reasonable best efforts to cause their Representatives to supply and furnish promptly, any and all information, documents, and records as Buyer may reasonably request, and provide reasonable access to the Company Group Member’s personnel and facilities, in connection with the matters contemplated by this Section 5.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, HoldCo and the Companies shall have no obligation to prepare any pro forma financial information or projections, each of which shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer. Buyer shall pay 100% of the fees and expenses of the Company Group Members for the preparation and auditing of the Required Financial Statements up to $160,000 and any amounts in excess thereof shall be paid 50% by each of Buyer and Sellers.

5.12. Data Room Copy.

(a) Each Party hereto shall, (i) within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, make, or cause or be made, all filings and submissions, if any, required under the HSR Act, which filings shall request early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, (ii) as promptly as possible, make, or cause or be made, all other filings and submissions (including those under Alcohol Laws and Antitrust Laws) required under any Law applicable to such Party or any of its Affiliates; and (iii) as promptly as possible, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all Consents from all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Each Party shall cooperate fully with the other Party and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such Consents. The Parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required Consents.

(b) Sellers and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give all notices to or obtain all Consents from, as applicable, all third parties that are set forth on Schedule 3.3(d) and Schedule 4.4.

Each Party will promptly inform the other Parties of any substantive oral communication with, and to the extent permitted under the Antitrust Laws, will provide to outside antitrust counsel copies of substantive written communications with, any Governmental Authority regarding the foregoing. No Party will independently participate in any formal meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other Parties prior reasonable notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, outside antitrust counsel for the other Party(ies) the opportunity to attend and participate.

Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions under the Antitrust Laws, including taking or committing to take any and all actions necessary to eliminate any concerns on the part of, or to satisfy any conditions imposed by, any Governmental Authority under the Antitrust Laws. In connection therewith, if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as in violation of any Antitrust Law, each Party will cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such Action, which shall include efforts to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other Order whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the Transactions.

(g) Buyer and its Affiliates shall refrain from acquiring any business or otherwise entering into any transaction, to the extent such acquisition or transaction would be reasonably likely to impair, delay or frustrate any Party’s ability to consummate the Transactions.

5.14. Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance Policy and Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing through the latest of the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing, the pendency of any matter giving rise to indemnification or advancement rights of any D&O Indemnified Party

(including the pendency of any dispute regarding such indemnification or advancement rights), and the statute of limitations applicable to any circumstances potentially giving rise to rights of indemnification or advancement rights of any D&O Indemnified Party, Buyer shall, unless prohibited under applicable Law (and then only to the extent of such prohibition), cause the Company Group Members to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company Group Members (or their respective successors or assigns) to the current and former directors, managers and officers of the Company Group Members (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) pursuant to any indemnification, advancement of expenses, or exculpation from or limitation of liability provisions under the Charter Documents of the Company Group Members as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, that such indemnification and exculpation provisions shall not apply to any claims made by any Seller, the trustees or beneficiaries of such Seller or any Person that is directly or indirectly controlled by any such Persons, or any portion of Losses for which any D&O Indemnified Party, in his or her capacity as a Seller hereunder, is fully and finally determined to be liable to a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Article VIII hereof. From and after the Closing through the latest of the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing, the pendency of any matter giving rise to indemnification or advancement rights of any D&O Indemnified Party (including the pendency of any dispute regarding such indemnification or advancement rights), and the statute of limitations applicable to any circumstances potentially giving rise to rights of indemnification or advancement rights of any D&O Indemnified Party, Buyer shall cause the Company Group Members to maintain the provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation from or limitation of liability as set forth in the respective Charter Documents of the Company Group Members in effect immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified during such period in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Party, subject to the limitations in the preceding sentence.

(b) Buyer and, following the Closing, the Company Group Members, jointly and severally, agree to pay, from time to time as incurred, all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the D&O Indemnified Parties in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 5.14.

(c) As to Insurance Policies containing a change of control or other similar provision that may limit or eliminate insurance coverage based on the Transaction or the Closing, the Company Group Members will, with the assistance of Buyer, take commercially reasonable actions to provide for continued access to coverage and claim reporting with respect to the pre-Closing period, to the extent possible. Such actions may include (i) notifying the insurer of the Transactions and the anticipated Closing in compliance with the terms of the relevant insurance policy; (ii) seeking to secure any permissions, consents and/or assignments necessary under the terms of the relevant insurance policy; (iii) causing the Companies to provide the insurer a customary no claims declaration if necessary to secure coverage; and (iv) as to any liability insurance coverage issued on a claims-made basis (including, the management liability insurance policy), securing run-off coverage (sometimes variously referred to as “tail coverage,” an “extended reporting period,” a “discovery period” or other similar terms) for a period of no less than six years after Closing to the extent available (“Run-Off Period”), which applies to claims made against any insured during the Run-Off Period arising from alleged wrongful acts occurring up to and including Closing. The Sellers and Buyer shall each pay 50% of any required additional premium for such coverage

(d) In the event that Buyer, or, following Closing, the Company Group Members, or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer and, from and after Closing, the Company Group Members, or the transferee of such properties and assets, shall expressly assume and be responsible for all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 5.14.

Buyer shall not terminate, amend or waive any provision of the RWI Policy in any manner that would adversely affect Sellers’ indemnification obligations hereunder or Sellers’ or their related parties’ exposure to any subrogation claims with respect to the RWI Policy without the express written consent of Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers, HoldCo and the Companies shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s requests with respect to due diligence and satisfaction of conditions under the RWI Policy.

(as representative for the Company Group Members) (not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld). Buyer is not authorized to and shall not (and shall not permit any of its employees, agents, representatives or Affiliates to) contact any customer, supplier, distributor or other business relation of any Company Group Member prior to the Closing for the purpose of discussing the Transaction or such customer’s, supplier’s, distributor’s or other business relation’s relationship with the Company Group Members without the prior written consent and coordination of Perella Weinberg Partners L.P.

5.19. Continuing Confidentiality.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that the information provided to it in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement between Buyer and London dated January 24, 2020 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate.

If Sellers determine that disclosure of such information is required by applicable Law (other than in connection with routine compliance with Law matters, including, without limitation, Tax Returns), Sellers shall, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by Law, use their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with applicable Law to consult with Buyer with respect thereto and to obtain, at Buyer’s sole expense, appropriate confidential treatment, if available, of such information as Buyer may reasonably request. Sellers' obligations under this Section 5.19(b) shall survive for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date; provided that in the case of any Company Confidential Information that constitutes a "trade secret," such obligations shall continue for the longer of such two (2) year period or for so long as such trade secret constituting Company Confidential Information remains a trade secret.

(c) For a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall hold and shall cause its Affiliates to hold, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, related to Sellers and their Affiliates and their respective businesses (other than such information that is primarily related to the Company Group Members and the Business), (i) except to the extent that such information (A) is generally available to or known by the public through no fault of Buyer, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives or (B) is lawfully acquired by Buyer, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited, to Buyer’s Knowledge, from disclosing such information by nondisclosure obligations or duties, or (ii) unless Buyer determines, after consulting with counsel, that disclosure of such information is required by applicable Law or in the event the recipient thereof is subject to appropriate nondisclosure obligations or duties. If Buyer determines that disclosure of such information is required by applicable Law, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with applicable Law to consult with Sellers with respect thereto and to obtain, at Sellers' sole expense, appropriate confidential treatment, if available, of such information as Sellers may reasonably request.

5.20. PPP Loan Audit.

Buyer shall provide Sellers’ Representative with prompt written notice of any notice received by it from the PPP Loan Bank or any Governmental Authority of any pending or threatened audit, investigation, inquiry, request for information, or other administrative or judicial proceeding relating to the CARES Act, including the PPP Loan (a “PPP Loan Audit”). Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers’ Representative in any PPP Loan Audit.

5.21. Affiliate Contracts.

Except as set forth on Schedule 5.21, all Contracts (including any Tax sharing or allocation agreements) between the Company Group Members, on the one hand, and Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Company Group Members), on the other hand, shall be terminated in their entirety upon the Closing, effective as of the Effective Time, by the parties thereto and shall be deemed voided, cancelled and discharged in their entirety. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.21, all intercompany balances between and among the Company Group Members, on the one hand, and Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Company Group Members), on the other hand, shall be eliminated by capital contribution or payment in full in their entirety upon the Closing, effective as of the Effective Time. The calculation of Merger Consideration shall be made after taking into account all such capital contributions and/or payments.

Within 30 days after the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers’ Representative a statement showing the cumulative number of barrels of whiskey actually produced by LRD and LBD from January 1, 2021 to and including the Closing Date (the “Actual Barrels”) and the number of Committed Barrels for such period, along with supporting documentation. The time periods and dispute resolution provisions of Section 2.4(c)-(j) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the calculation of the number of Committed Barrels and Actual Barrels. Upon the conclusion of such review, if the Committed Barrels exceed the Actual Barrels by at least 100 barrels, an amount equal to (i) the difference between the number of Committed Barrels and Actual Barrels multiplied by (ii) the per barrel production cost set forth on Schedule 5.23, shall be paid by Sellers to Buyer within five (5) Business Days after such determination by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account for Buyer set forth on the Funds Flow Statement or as otherwise provided to Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 11.6, at least 2 Business Days prior to the payment thereof. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 5.23 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Article VI

TAX MATTERS

6.1. Tax Matters.

(a) Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties intend that the Contribution, the Merger and the Subsidiary Mergers be treated as an overall integrated plan, and, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes:

(i) that the transitory existence of HoldCo will be disregarded for all U.S. federal income Tax purposes (see e.g., IRS Revenue Ruling 90-95, 1990-2 C.B. 67; IRS Revenue Ruling 73-427, 1973-2 C.B. 301);

(ii) that the acquisition by Buyer of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of LDLH pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as an exchange by the Sellers of their equity interests in LDLH for the Class C Cash Consideration in a transaction that is governed by IRS Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1991 C.B. 432 (Situation 2) and that (i) as to the Sellers, as a taxable sale of their equity interests in LDLH; and (ii) as to Buyer, as a purchase of the assets and liabilities of LDLH;

(iii) that the acquisition by Buyer of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of KYLH pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as an exchange by the Sellers of their equity interests in KYLH for the Class D Cash Consideration in a transaction that is governed by IRS Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1991 C.B. 432 (Situation 2) and that (i) as to the Sellers, as a taxable sale of their equity interests in KYLH; and (ii) as to Buyer, as a purchase of the assets and liabilities of KYLH;

(iv) that the Contribution, the Merger and the LGH Merger, taken together, will constitute an integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code;

(v) that the Contribution, the Merger and the LRDH Merger, taken together, will constitute an integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and

(vi) with respect to each of clauses (iv) and (v), above, that this Agreement will be, and hereby is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Section 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).

(b) Tax Reporting of Transactions and Post-Closing Actions.

(i) Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other, agree, for all Tax purposes, to report the Transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement in a manner consistent with Section 6.1(a) and none of them shall take a position on any Tax Return, before any Tax authority or in any judicial proceeding that is, in any manner, inconsistent with such treatment without the written consent of the other parties or unless specifically required pursuant to a Final Determination by an applicable Taxing Authority. The Parties shall promptly advise one another of the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or litigation related to the Tax treatment of the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement.

(ii) Buyer shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Company Group Members), to take any action or fail to take any action that would be reasonably expected to cause the Merger and the Subsidiary Mergers, taken together, not to qualify as “reorganizations” within the meaning of section 368(a) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for one (1) year following the Effective Time, Buyer shall not (i) make, or allow to be made, an election for either London Merger Sub 1, LLC or London Merger Sub 2, LLC to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3, (ii) dispose, or cause to be disposed, of the equity interests or substantially all of the assets of London Merger Sub 1, LLC or London Merger Sub 2, LLC, except in a transaction described in section 368(a)(2)(C) or Treasury Regulation section 1.368-2(k), or (iii) fail to either continue LRDH’s and LGH’s historic business or use a significant portion of LRDH’s and LGH’s historic business assets in a business following the Subsidiary Mergers, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.368-1(d).

(c) Transfer Taxes. Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each be liable for fifty percent (50%) of any transfer (including securities transfer), excise, franchise, property, documentary, sales, bulk sales, use, stamp, registration, filing, recording, value added, and other such transfer Taxes and recording or filing fees and charges (including any penalties, interest, and additions thereto) imposed in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, (“Transfer Taxes”). Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall, upon request of the other Party, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Tax. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Sellers shall file or cause to be timely filed all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and to the extent necessary, Buyer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or documentation. Sellers shall provide Buyer with copies of all Tax Returns and other documentation for Transfer Taxes and evidence that all Transfer Taxes have been timely paid.

(d) Filing of Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(i) Following the Closing, the Sellers’ Representative shall on a timely basis prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Income Tax Returns of the Company Group Members for Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the final IRS Form 1120-S for each of LGH and LRDH for the period ending as of the Closing Date, and the final IRS Form 1065 for each of LDLH and KYLH for the period ending as of the Closing Date) (the “Seller Prepared Returns”). Sellers’ Representative will provide drafts of any such Income Tax Returns to Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing thereof (taking into account any applicable extensions) and will consider in good faith any reasonable written comments of Buyer provided at least fifteen (15) days prior to such due date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree and intend that any deductions or credits arising out of Change of Control Payments, Transaction Expenses, or any other payment borne by the Sellers through an adjustment to the Merger Consideration or otherwise, shall be included on the Seller Prepared Returns, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.

(ii) Buyer will on a timely basis prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed: (A) all Tax Returns of the Company Group Members required to be filed after the Closing Date for Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (other than Seller Prepared Returns); and (B) all Straddle Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company Group Members (collectively, the “Buyer Prepared Returns”). All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with the past practices of the Company Group Members, except as otherwise required by Law. Buyer will cause the Company Group Members to timely pay the Taxes shown to be due on the Buyer Prepared Returns; provided, however, that Sellers, on a Joint and Several Basis, will, within five (5)

Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof by Sellers’ Representative, reimburse Buyer for the portion of such Taxes for which Sellers are responsible pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(iv). The Sellers’ Representative will furnish to Buyer on a timely basis all information and records reasonably requested by Buyer for use in preparation of any Buyer Prepared Returns, to the extent such information and records are not in the possession of the Company Group Members, including access to Tax records at the Sellers’ accounting firm. Buyer will allow Sellers’ Representative, to review, comment upon and reasonably approve without undue delay any Buyer Prepared Return and the allocation of Straddle Period Taxes shown to be due between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and Post-Closing Tax Periods during the 30-day period immediately preceding the filing of such Buyer Prepared Return.

(iii) Sellers' Representative shall cause LBD to make a Section 754 election with its U.S. federal Income Tax Return for the 2020 Tax year.

(iv) All Taxes payable by the Company Group Members with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the portion of any Taxes payable with respect to a Straddle Period that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (as determined in accordance with Section 6.1(e)), shall be borne by Sellers, except to the extent such Taxes (A) arise out of or result from any action taken by Buyer on the Closing Date after the Effective Time or (B) were included in the calculation of the Merger Consideration. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.1(c), all other Taxes payable by the Company Group Members shall be borne by Buyer, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Taxes payable by the Company Group Members with respect to Post-Closing Tax Periods and any Taxes described in clauses (A) and (B) of the foregoing sentence.

(e) Straddle Periods. In the case of any Straddle Period, (i) for any periodic Taxes such as real, personal and intangible property Taxes, the portion of such Taxes that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period and (ii) for Income Taxes or Taxes based upon or related to employment, sales and use, value added and other non-periodic Taxes, the portion of such Taxes that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the Effective Time (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any subsidiary pass-through entity shall be deemed to terminate at such time), provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period in proportion to the number of days in each such period. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the past practice and policies of the Company Group Members. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any deductions or credits for any Straddle Period arising out of Change of Control Payments, Transaction Expenses, or any other payment borne by the Sellers through an adjustment to the Merger Consideration or otherwise, shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(f) Cooperation. Each Party agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Company Group Members as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return (including the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney and other materials reasonably necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns), for the preparation for any audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any Action relating to any proposed adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and notwithstanding any right to information under Law (to the extent such right under Law can be waived), no Seller nor any of his, her or its Affiliates shall have the right at any time to examine the Tax Returns, Tax work papers, financial statements or books and records of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates other than the Company Group Members for any purpose. The Party requesting assistance will reimburse the other Party for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (other than salaries or wages of any employees of the Parties) incurred in providing such assistance. Any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.1(f) or pursuant to any other provision under this Agreement providing for the sharing of information or the review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to Taxes will be kept confidential by the Parties, except to the extent necessary to meet the Company Group Members’ Tax reporting obligations or to satisfy any other requirements of applicable Law. For the

avoidance of doubt, this includes each Seller providing access to its accounting firm with consent to review prior Tax workpapers relating to Tax Returns of the Company Group Members.

(g) Amendments and other Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, neither Buyer nor its Subsidiaries (including the Company Group Members) shall, without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, take any action that could reasonably be expected to increase the Tax Liability of Sellers pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as otherwise required by law, without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, Buyer shall not, and shall not cause its Subsidiaries to (i) except as specifically provided in Section 6.1(d)(ii), file or amend any Tax Return of any Company Group Member with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) make, change or rescind any Tax election with respect to any Company Group Member that relates to or affects any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) adopt or change a method of accounting with respect to any Company Group Member that relates to or affects any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iv) enter into or request any voluntary disclosure agreement or similar agreement, arrangement or understanding, request or file any Tax amnesty application or request any managed Tax audit with respect to any Company Group Member which relates to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(h) Maintenance of S Election. Sellers shall not revoke the election of either LRD or LGH to be taxed as an S corporation within the meaning of Code Section 1361 and Code Section 1362 (or under state or local Law), and shall not take or allow any action that would result in the termination of their status as an S corporation (other than any such action that is contemplated by the terms of this Agreement).

(i) Purchase Price Allocation. Buyer and Sellers agree that (i) the Class C Cash Consideration plus the Class C Net Closing Cash Adjustment and Class D Cash Consideration plus the Class D Net Closing Cash Adjustment (plus liabilities of the relevant entities and other amounts required to be taken into account under Sections 751 and 1060 of the Code) (the “Allocable Amount”) will be allocated among the assets of LDLH and KYLH (and their subsidiaries, as applicable), respectively, in a manner consistent with Sections 751 and 1060 of the Code. On or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide to the Sellers’ Representative Buyer’s proposed allocations of the Allocable Amount in a manner consistent with Sections 751 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Within thirty (30) days after the date of the delivery by Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative of Buyer’s proposed allocation of the Allocable Amount, the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver written notice to Buyer (the “Seller Allocation Notice”) of any proposed changes to such allocations. Should the Sellers’ Representative fail to timely deliver a Seller Allocation Notice to Buyer, Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed with Buyer’s proposed allocation of the Allocable Amount upon the expiration of such 30-day period. Should the Sellers’ Representative timely deliver a Seller Allocation Notice, the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputed items set forth therein. Should the parties fail to resolve any disputed items within 30 days of timely delivery of a Seller Allocation Notice, the parties shall submit the disagreement to resolution by the Accounting Expert. Such allocation, as agreed in writing by the parties or as determined by the Accounting Expert, shall be referred to herein as the “Final Allocation.” The costs and expenses of the Accounting Expert in connection with such determination shall be borne by 50% by Buyer and 50% by the Sellers’ Representative. The Final Allocation shall be revised to take into account subsequent adjustments to the Merger Consideration in the manner provided by Sections 751 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Buyer and Sellers shall file all Tax Returns and information reports in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation and shall not take any position with respect to Taxes which is inconsistent with such Final Allocation, as finally determined, except in both cases as otherwise required by a Final Determination. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.1(i) shall be interpreted to impose on Buyer any responsibility for making calculations under Sections 751 of the Code with respect to the deemed sale by Sellers of their equity interests in KYLH and LDLH, and Sellers shall have the sole responsibility for making their own calculations under Section 751 (based on the allocation as determined under this Section 6.1(a)(i)) with respect to the deemed sale by Sellers of their equity interests in KYLH and LDLH.

(j) Refunds and Deductions. Any Tax refunds and interest thereon that are received by Buyer or the Company Group Members (or the Affiliates of any of them), and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer or the Company Group Members (or the Affiliates of any of them) become entitled, that relate to the

Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Sellers, and Buyer shall pay over to Sellers’ Representative any such refund and interest or the amount of any such credit within 15 days after receipt or entitlement thereto, except to the extent such refund or credit was included in the calculation of the Merger Consideration. If any deductions or credits arising out of Change of Control Payments, Transaction Expenses, or any other payment borne by Sellers through an adjustment to the Merger Consideration or otherwise, is required under applicable Law to be reported in a Post-Closing Tax Period, Buyer shall pay to Sellers’ Representative, for the account of Sellers, the amount of any Tax benefit realized by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group Members) therefrom, within 15 days after the due date of the Tax Return on which such deduction or credit is required to be reported.

(b) Subject to the conditions and limitations contained in this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers, their Affiliates and their respective stockholders, members, partners, officers, managers, members, directors, employees and agents (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any of such Persons based upon, arising out of, or otherwise related to:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in Article IV of this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer (including the Surviving Corporation) and, following Closing, the Companies, contained in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any certificate or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; or

(iii) any Taxes for which Buyer is responsible pursuant to Article VI.

8.2. Scope of Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 8.6, the aggregate amount which all of the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to receive for all Losses under Section 8.1(a) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(vi)) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration actually paid to the Sellers. The aggregate amount which all of the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to receive for all Losses under Section 8.1(a)(v) shall not exceed the Covered Tax Losses.

(b) Subject to Section 8.6, the aggregate amount which all of the Seller Indemnified Parties will be entitled to receive for all Losses under Section 8.1(b) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration. Subject to Section 8.6, the aggregate amount which all of the Seller Indemnified Parties will be entitled to receive for all Losses under Section 8.1(b)(i) (x) with respect to breaches of Buyer Fundamental Representations (excluding Section 4.8) shall not exceed the amount of the Merger Consideration, (y) with respect to breaches of Section 4.8 shall not exceed $237,500,000 and (z) with respect to breaches of any other representations of Buyer contained in this Agreement, 10% of the amount of the Merger Consideration.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all references in Article III to “material,” “material respects,” “material adverse effect” and similar materiality qualifications (other than the term “Material Adverse Effect” as used in Section 3.9) are to be excluded with regard to determining whether a breach of a representation and warranty has occurred, as well as the amount of any Losses, for which a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Sellers shall not have any right of contribution, indemnification, or similar right (whether at common law, by statute, or otherwise) from or against the Company Group Members with respect to any Loss for which such Sellers shall be adjudged liable in their respective capacities as Sellers pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover or make a claim under this Article VIII for any Loss to the extent such Loss (i) is included in the calculation of the Merger Consideration, or (ii) to the extent any Losses are attributable to any Indemnified Party’s bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover or make a claim under this Article VIII for any Loss to the extent such Loss arises from actions taken or not taken by Buyer or its Affiliates, or on behalf of Buyer or its Affiliates, or any event or occurrence occurring, after Closing.

(f) In the event of any breach giving rise to an indemnification obligation under this Article VIII, each Indemnified Party shall take, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, in the case of Buyer, the Company Group Members) to take, reasonable measures to mitigate the Losses arising from such breach (including taking steps to prevent any contingent liability from becoming an actual liability), and the reasonable cost of such mitigation shall be an indemnifiable Loss hereunder.

(g) The amount of any and all Losses under this Article VIII shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party, net of any reasonable out of pocket costs incurred in connection with such recovery, under insurance policies (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the RWI Policy), indemnities or other reimbursement arrangements with respect to such Losses; provided, however, Buyer shall not be required to make a claim under the RWI Policy for any matters for which Sellers are responsible pursuant to the express terms of this Article VIII other than a Claim under Section 8.1(a)(iv) that would also be a breach of Section 3.23 that is covered by the RWI Policy (a “Covered Tax Loss”). Subject to the proviso in the foregoing sentence, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance policies

covering any Loss to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder. Except for a Covered Tax Loss (which is covered by Section 8.2(h)), in the event that an insurance, indemnification or other recovery is made by any Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (net of any costs incurred in connection with such recovery) shall be promptly made to the applicable Indemnifying Party. Each party hereto waives, to the extent permitted under its applicable insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with respect to any indemnifiable Losses. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes.

(h) Subject to all other applicable provisions of this Agreement, if Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party seeks recourse pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iv), Buyer or such Buyer Indemnified Party shall first seek recourse from the RWI Policy, in accordance with its terms. The obligations of Sellers to indemnify Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect of any Covered Tax Loss shall be held in abeyance pending the resolution of any corresponding claim against the RWI Policy until all rights thereunder have been pursued in good faith, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to deliver notice under this Article VIII prior to the resolution of any claim under the RWI Policy with respect to any Covered Tax Loss. If prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer and the Buyer Indemnified Parties have exhausted coverage under the RWI Policy and Buyer has received payments under the RWI Policy for any Covered Tax Loss, Sellers shall indemnify Buyer and any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(v) for any breach of any representation or warranty of the Companies in Article III (other than Companies Fundamental Representations) that would have been covered under the RWI Policy but for the fact that coverage had been exhausted under the RWI Policy (but not to exceed the amount of Covered Tax Losses, and subject to all other limitations and conditions set forth in this Article VIII). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Sellers shall not have any obligation to indemnify Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(v) for any breach of any representation or warranty of the Companies in this Agreement (other than Companies Fundamental Representations), except as expressly provided in this Section 8.2(h).

(i) In the event the same set of facts qualifies under more than one provision entitling any Indemnified Party to a claim or remedy under this Agreement, there shall be only one claim or remedy.

(j) With respect to any obligation in this Agreement pursuant to which Sellers are obligated on a “Joint and Several Basis”, “Joint and Several Basis” shall mean only that (i) Buyer shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to seek full or disproportionate recovery on such claim (subject to the conditions and limitations contained in this Article VIII) from any Seller(s) set forth on Schedule 8.2(j), without the need to first seek recovery on such claim from the other Sellers, and (ii) otherwise, Buyer shall be entitled to seek recovery on such claim (subject to the conditions and limitations contained in this Article VIII) from all Sellers on a several, and not joint, basis. No act of Buyer shall be construed as an election to proceed under either remedy available to Buyer under this Section 8.2(j) to the exclusion of the other remedy, or as an election of remedies to the exclusion of the other remedy.

(k) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(j) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Seller shall have any liability for Losses with respect to claims for indemnification under this Agreement in excess of the portion of the Merger Consideration actually paid to such Seller.

8.3. Notice and Third-party Claims.

(a) Notice of Claims. Within twenty (20) days after Sellers’ Representative or Buyer becomes aware of any claim that any Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party, respectively, has under Section 8.1 that may result in a Loss for which such Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party, as applicable, is entitled to indemnification hereunder (a “Claim”), such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice of such Claim (a “Claims Notice”) to Sellers (by notice to Sellers’ Representative), in the case of a Claim by Buyer, or to Buyer, in the case of a Claim by Sellers (such Party, the “Indemnifying Party”). A Claims Notice shall describe the Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate, to the extent feasible, the estimated amount of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party and any other Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller

Indemnified Party, as applicable. No delay in giving a Claims Notice by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8.3(a) shall adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that the Indemnified Party or any other Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, has under this Agreement or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party or any other Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, except to the extent that such delay or failure has increased the Loss or otherwise materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Third-party Claims. If any Claims Notice identifies a Claim brought by an unaffiliated third-party (any such Claim, a “Third-party Claim”), then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days thereafter, to assume the defense of such Third-party Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of a Third-party Claim (without the written consent of the Indemnified Party) if such Third-party Claim (i) involves an allegation of criminal conduct or (ii) seeks material relief other than monetary damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as applicable, has the right to participate in (but not control, if the other Party has assumed control as provided in this Agreement), at its own expense, the defense of any Third-party Claim which the other is defending as provided in this Agreement, which participation rights shall include, to the extent permitted by Law, the right to notice reasonably in advance of any hearings or proceedings in connection with such Third-party Claim, the right to attend any meetings with a Governmental Authority or hearings or proceedings before any Governmental Authority and the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications related to such Third-party Claim. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third-party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall be entitled to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter in any settlement with respect to such Third-party Claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-party Claim that (A) does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all Liability in respect of such Third-party Claim, (B) grants any injunctive or equitable relief, or (C) may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party or any other Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable. The Indemnified Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third-party Claim as provided in this Agreement, may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, (1) admit in any settlement or entry of judgment to any civil or criminal wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnifying Party, or (2) agree to the imposition of any direct personal liability (exclusive of any indemnification obligations under this Agreement) on the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Buyer will promptly notify Sellers’ Representative of the commencement of any Action relating to Taxes, including for purposes of this Section 8.3(c) any notice of assessment or proposed change or adjustment, and any notice and demand for payment, concerning any Taxes for which indemnification would be required by Sellers under Section 8.1. Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to control the strategy, defense and settlement of any such Action relating to Taxes attributable solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right to participate, at its expense, in any such Action, and provided further that no settlement of any such Action shall be made without the prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Sellers’ Representative notifies Buyer that Sellers’ Representative does not desire to control the defense of any such Action, or if Buyer determines in good faith that Sellers’ Representative is not exerting reasonable efforts in defending such Action (and Sellers’ Representative fails to cure such failure after written notice thereof from Buyer), Buyer thereupon shall be permitted (at its own expense but subject to indemnification) to defend such Action, in which event Sellers’ Representative agrees to fully cooperate with Buyer; provided that no settlement of any such Action shall be made without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Buyer shall have the right to control the strategy, defense and settlement of any Action relating to Taxes attributable to (i) any Straddle Periods and (ii) any Post-Closing Tax Periods, provided, however, that Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to participate, at Sellers’ expense, in any Action relating to a Tax Return filed pursuant to any Straddle Period to the extent such Action could affect Sellers’ Liability under this Agreement, and no settlement of any such Action that could affect Sellers’ Liability under this Agreement shall be made without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single Third-party Claim unless one of the Indemnified Parties reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are not available to the other Indemnified Party or Parties or that such Indemnified Party and the other Indemnified Party or Parties may have different, conflicting, or adverse legal positions or interests with respect to such Third-party Claim.

8.4. Survival.

(a) Except as provided below, all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (including any certificate to be delivered under this Agreement) shall terminate effective as of the Effective Time and shall not survive the Closing for any purpose (the expiration of an applicable survival period, the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that, solely for purposes of Section 8.1(a)(v), the representations and warranties set forth in Article III shall survive the Effective Date, and the Expiration Date for any Claims relating to any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties set forth in Article III shall be the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Expiration Date for any Claims relating to any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties set forth in the Companies Fundamental Representations or Buyer Fundamental Representations shall be the twenty (20)-year anniversary of the Closing Date. Except as otherwise specified in this Section 8.4, the Expiration Date for the covenants and agreements of Sellers, Sellers’ Representative and Buyer contained in this Agreement shall be the statute of limitations for such covenant or agreement. The Expiration Date with respect to any matter set forth on Schedule 8.1(a)(vi) shall be the date set forth therein. The Expiration Date with respect to any claim with respect to Fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any of the Companies in connection with the making of the representations and warranties in Article III or Buyer in connection with the making of the representations and warranties in Article IV, shall be the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Any Claims pending on any applicable Expiration Date for such Claims for which notice has been given in accordance with Section 8.3 on or before the applicable Expiration Date may continue to be asserted and indemnified against until finally resolved.

(b) Any claims for indemnification under this Agreement must be asserted by Claims Notice within the applicable Expiration Date contemplated by Section 8.4(a), and if such a Claims Notice is timely given (whether or not an Action has then been filed), the Expiration Date for such claim shall continue until such claim is fully resolved. Any such claim for indemnification not so submitted in writing in a Claims Notice prior to the expiration of the applicable Expiration Date provided in Section 8.4(a) will be deemed to have been waived and will be absolutely and forever barred and unenforceable, null and void, and of no force or effect whatsoever, and no Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect hereto.

(c) It is the express intent of the Parties that, if the applicable Expiration Date for an item as contemplated by Section 8.4(a) 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 Expiration Date survival period contemplated hereby. The Parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in Section 8.4(a) for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms-length negotiation among the Parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the Parties.

8.5. Tax Treatment.

Amounts paid to or on behalf of Sellers or Buyer following the Closing Date shall be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

8.6. Indemnification Exclusive Remedy.

The provisions of this Article VIII, Section 6.1 and Section 11.11 and the RWI Policy set forth the exclusive rights and remedies of (a) the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement and (b) the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, in each case for breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty set forth herein or therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.6 shall not preclude a Party from bringing an action for an equitable remedy to require a Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Parties may not avoid the limitations on liability set forth in this Article VIII by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory or liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the RWI Policy shall be the sole and exclusive source of funds for Losses incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party based upon, arising out of or otherwise related to any of the representations and warranties in Article III, other than, pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), the Companies Fundamental Representations, or Fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any of the Companies in connection with the making of the representations and warranties in Article III. Neither HoldCo, the Companies, Sellers or any of their Affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall have any direct or indirect liability of any kind or nature with respect to the RWI Policy except as set forth therein.

Article IX

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

(b) by Buyer by written notice to Sellers’ Representative if:

(i) Buyer is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Sellers, HoldCo, the Companies or Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VII, and such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days of Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Buyer; or

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall not have been fulfilled by the Outside Date, unless such failure shall be due to the breach of or failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; provided, that if the Closing shall not have occurred by the Outside Date, but on that date, any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(c) shall not be satisfied but all other conditions shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, provided that they would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur on such date), then Buyer may elect (by delivery of written notice to the Sellers’ Representative at or prior to 11:59 p.m. Central time on the Outside Date) to extend the Outside Date to June 21, 2021; and in such case, the Outside Date, as so extended, shall be the “Outside Date” for purposes of this Agreement; unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;

(i) Sellers, Sellers’ Representative, HoldCo and the Companies are not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VII and such breach has not been cured by Buyer within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Sellers’ Representative; or

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 shall not have been fulfilled by the Outside Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure or breach of Sellers, HoldCo, the Companies or Sellers’ Representative to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; provided that the Closing shall not have occurred

by the Outside Date, but on that date, any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(c) shall not be satisfied but all other conditions shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, provided that they would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur on such date), then Sellers’ Representative may elect (by delivery of written notice to the Buyer at or prior to 11:59 p.m. Central time on the Outside Date) to extend the Outside Date to June 21, 2021; and in such case, the Outside Date, as so extended, shall be the “Outside Date” for purposes of this Agreement; unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Sellers, HoldCo, the Companies or Sellers’ Representative to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;

(d) By Sellers’ Representative, prior to obtaining the Buyer Shareholder Approval, if the Buyer Shareholder Approval has not been obtained within twenty-four (24) hours after the execution and delivery of the date of this Agreement;

(e) By Buyer, prior to obtaining the Seller Approval, if the Seller Approval and the execution of a Seller Joinder Agreement by each Seller have not been obtained within twenty-four (24) hours after the execution and delivery of the date of this Agreement; or

(f) By Buyer or Sellers’ Representative in the event that (i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the Transactions illegal or otherwise prohibited or (ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued an Order restraining or enjoining the Transactions, and such Order shall have become final and non-appealable.

9.2. Effect of Termination.

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect (other than Section 5.6, Section 5.7, Section 5.9(b), Section 5.19, this Section 9.2, Article X (as applicable) and Article XI, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement) without any liability or obligation on the part of any party hereto, (a) other than liabilities and obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement and (b) except that no such termination shall relieve any Party hereto of any liability for Losses resulting from any willful breach by such Party of this Agreement. For purposes of clarification, the Parties agree that if (i) Buyer does not close the Transactions in circumstances in which all of the closing conditions set forth in Article VII to have been satisfied by HoldCo, the Companies, Sellers and Sellers’ Representative have been satisfied (other than conditions to be performed by such Parties at the Closing), such failure or refusal to proceed with the Closing shall be deemed to be a willful breach of this Agreement by Buyer and (ii) Sellers and HoldCo do not close the Transactions in circumstances in which all of the closing conditions set forth in Article VII to have been satisfied by Buyer have been satisfied (other than conditions to be performed by Buyer at the Closing), such failure or refusal to proceed with the Closing shall be deemed to be a willful breach of this Agreement by Sellers and HoldCo. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an award of damages is sought against Buyer, on the one hand, or against Sellers, Sellers’ Representative, HoldCo or the Companies, on the other hand, for any alleged breach of this Agreement by Buyer, Sellers, Sellers’ Representative, HoldCo or the Companies, as applicable, occurring prior to the Closing, any such award of damages shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs, and shall include the benefit of the bargain lost by Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, which benefit of the bargain (i.e., expectancy damages) shall be recoverable by Sellers or Buyer.

11.13. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail shall be deemed originals for purposes of this Agreement.

11.14. Currency and Exchange Rates.

Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all references to currency, monetary values and dollars set forth herein shall mean U.S. dollars and all payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars. In the event that there is any need to convert U.S. dollars into any foreign currency, or vice versa, for any purpose under this Agreement (including the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the Cash Amount, the Assumed Debt Amount and Unpaid Transaction Expenses Amount), except as otherwise required by applicable Law (in which case, the exchange rate shall be determined in accordance with such Law), the exchange rate shall be that published on Oanda.com as of 9:00 a.m. Central time on the date (or, if no such exchange rate is published on Oanda.com on such date, the first date thereafter on which such exchange rate is published on Oanda.com) that is: (a) three (3)

Business Days prior to the date on which any obligation is paid; (b) in respect of the Estimated Closing Statement to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.3, 1 Business Day prior to the date that the Estimated Closing Statement is delivered to Buyer; or (c) in respect of the Closing Statement, the Adjustment Amount and the Final Adjustment Amount, the Closing Date.

11.15. Retention of Advisors.

In any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement following the Closing, Sellers shall have the right, at their election, to retain Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP to represent them in such matter, even if such representation shall be adverse to Buyer or any of its Affiliates. Buyer, for itself and its Affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby (a) irrevocably consent to any such representation in any such matter and (b) irrevocably waive any actual or potential conflict arising from any such representation as a result of: (i) any adversity between the interests of Sellers on the one hand, and Buyer and the Company Group Members on the other hand, in any such matter or (ii) any communication between Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP and the Company Group Members, its Affiliates or employees, whether privileged or not, or any other information known to such counsel, by reason of such counsel’s representation of the Company Group Members prior to Closing.

11.16. Protected Communication.

The Parties agree that, immediately prior to the Closing, without the need for any further action (a) all right, title and interest of the Company Group Members in and to all Protected Communications shall thereupon transfer to and be vested solely in Sellers’ Representative and his successors in interest, and (b) any and all protections from disclosure, including, but not limited to, attorney-client privileges and work product protections, associated with or arising from any Protected Communications that would have been exercisable by the Company Group Members shall thereupon be vested exclusively in Sellers’ Representative and his successors in interest and shall be exercised or waived solely as directed by Sellers’ Representative and his successors in interest. None of the Company Group Members, Buyer, or any Person acting on any of their behalf shall, without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative and his successors in interest, assert or waive or attempt to assert or waive any such protection against disclosure, including, but not limited to, the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, provided, however, the foregoing shall neither prohibit Buyer from seeking proper discovery of such documents nor Sellers’ Representative from asserting that such documents are protected from disclosure and thus not discoverable.

11.17. No Waiver of Privilege, Protection from Disclosure or Use.

The Parties understand and agree that nothing in this Agreement, including the foregoing provisions regarding the assertions of protection from disclosure and use, privilege and conflicts of interest, shall be deemed to be a waiver of any applicable attorney-client privilege or other protection from disclosure or use. Each of the Parties understands and agrees that it has undertaken reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of Protected Communications. Notwithstanding those efforts, the Parties understand and agree that the consummation of the Transactions could result in the inadvertent disclosure of information that may be confidential, eligible to be subject to a claim of privilege, or otherwise protected from disclosure. The Parties further understand and agree that any disclosure of information that may be confidential, subject to a claim of privilege, or otherwise protected from disclosure will not constitute a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any claim of confidentiality, privilege, or protection from disclosure, including, but not limited to, with respect to information involving or concerning the same subject matter as the disclosed information. The Parties agree to use reasonable efforts to return any inadvertently disclosed information to the disclosing party immediately upon becoming aware of its existence. The Parties further agree that promptly after the return of any inadvertently disclosed information, the party returning such information shall destroy any and all copies, summaries, descriptions and/or notes of such inadvertently disclosed information, including electronic versions thereof, and all portions of larger documents or communications that contain such copies, summaries, descriptions or notes.

11.18. Non-Recourse.

Claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and are those solely of) the entities that are expressly identified as Parties to this Agreement, but including any grantor or beneficiary of any Seller to the extent that such grantor or beneficiary receives a distribution from such Seller (“Contracting Parties”). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including without limitation any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, unitholder, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, or representative of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, man-ager, unitholder, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, or representative of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (“Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach; and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by law, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.
