	 	(d)	[Option Exchange. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Exchange Closing, Rollover Seller agrees that each Rollover Option shall be cancelled

	4.	Representations and Warranties 

  

	 	(a)	Rollover Seller represents and warrants as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	 Binding Agreement. Rollover Seller has the capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Rollover
Seller has duly and validly executed and delivered this Agreement and this Agreement 



  

 - 2 - 









	 	 
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Rollover Seller, enforceable against Rollover Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law). 


  

	 	(ii)	No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor the performance of the Rollover Seller’s
obligations hereunder will (a) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, or acceleration) under any contract,
agreement, instrument, commitment, arrangement or understanding to which Rollover Seller is a party, or result in the creation of a Lien with respect to Rollover Seller’s Rollover Shares, if any, or Rollover Options, if any, or (b) require
any consent, authorization or approval of any other person or any entity or Government Entity, or (c) violate or conflict with any Judgment applicable to the Rollover Seller or Rollover Seller’s Rollover Shares, if any, or Rollover
Options, if any, or the Issued Shares, if any, or Issued Options, if any, to be received by the Rollover Seller hereunder. 

  

	 	(iii)	 Securities Laws Matters. Rollover Seller acknowledges receipt of advice from Buyer that (i) the Issued Shares, if any, and Issued Options (and any
shares of Buyer Common Stock acquired on exercise of the Issued Options (“Exercise Shares”)), if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) or qualified under any state securities or
“blue sky” or non U.S. securities laws, (ii) it is not anticipated that there will be any public market for any shares of Buyer Common Stock, (iii) any shares of Buyer Common Stock must be held indefinitely and Rollover Seller
must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in the shares of Buyer Common Stock unless such shares are subsequently registered under the Act and such state or non U.S. securities laws or an exemption from such registration is
available, (iv) Rule 144 promulgated under the Act (“Rule 144”) is not presently available with respect to sales of any shares of Buyer Common Stock and Buyer has made no covenant to make Rule 144 available and Rule 144 is not
anticipated to be available in the foreseeable future, (v) when and if any shares of Buyer Common Stock may be disposed of without registration in reliance upon Rule 144, such disposition can be made only in limited amounts and in accordance
with the terms and conditions of such Rule, (vi) if the exemption afforded by Rule 144 is not available, public sale of the shares of any shares of Buyer Common Stock without 



  

 - 3 - 









	 	 
registration will require the availability of an exemption under the Act, (vii) restrictive legends in the form set forth in the Stockholders Agreement
shall be placed on the certificate representing the shares of any shares of Buyer Common Stock issued to Rollover Seller and (viii) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Buyer indicating that the shares of any such shares
are subject to restrictions on transfer and, if Buyer should in the future engage the services of a stock transfer agent, appropriate stop-transfer instructions will be issued to such transfer agent with respect to any such shares.



  

	 	(iv)	Accredited Investor. Rollover Seller is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Act. 

  

	 	(v)	Shareholder’s Experience. (A) Rollover Seller’s financial situation is such that Rollover Seller can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Issued
Shares, if any, and Issued Options ( and any Exercise Shares), if any, for an indefinite period of time, (B) Rollover Seller can afford to suffer complete loss of his investment in the Issued Shares, if any, and Issued Options ( and any
Exercise Shares) and (C) the Rollover Seller’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters are such that Rollover Seller is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Rollover Seller’s investment in the Issued
Shares, if any, and Issued Options ( and any Exercise Shares). 

  

	 	(vi)	Access to Information. Rollover Seller represents and warrants that Rollover Seller has been granted the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from,
representatives of Buyer concerning the terms and conditions of the [Share Exchange][and] [Option Exchange] and to obtain any additional information that Rollover Seller deems necessary to verify the accuracy of the information so provided.


  

	 	(vii)	 Investment Intent. Rollover Seller is acquiring the Issued Shares, if any, and Issued Options (and Rollover Seller will acquire any Exercise Shares), if any,
solely for Rollover Seller’s own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof. Rollover Seller agrees that Rollover Seller will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of (or options to acquire) Buyer Common Stock (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of any shares of Buyer Parent Common Stock), except in compliance with
(i) the Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, (ii) applicable state and non-U.S. securities or “blue sky” laws and (iii) the provisions of this 



  

 - 4 - 









	 	 
Agreement, any applicable Stock Option Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement, as applicable. 


  

	 	(b)	Representations and Warranties of Buyer. Buyer represents and warrants as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	Corporate Form. Buyer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has (and, immediately following the
Effective Time, will have) all requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted. 

  

	 	(ii)	Corporate Authority, etc. Buyer has (and, immediately prior to the Closing Date, will have) all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
perform all of its obligations hereunder and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and Buyer has (and, immediately prior to the Closing Date, will have) all requisite corporate power and authority to issue the securities issued to
Rollover Seller hereunder. 

  

	 	(iii)	Actions Authorized. Buyer has taken all corporate actions necessary to authorize it to enter into this Agreement and, prior to the Closing Date, will have taken all corporate
actions necessary to authorize it to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Buyer and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of
this Agreement by Rollover Seller, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

  

	 	(iv)	No Conflicts. Other than as provided for in the Purchase Agreement and the disclosure schedules thereto, none of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, by Buyer will conflict with the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of Buyer or result in any breach of, or constitute a default under any contract, agreement or instrument to which
Buyer is a party or by which it or any of its respective assets is bound. 

  

	 	(v)	 Securities issued to Trimaran. As of the Closing, [    ] shares of Buyer Common Stock will be issued and outstanding (after giving




  

 - 5 - 









	 	 
effect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the exchange agreements entered into by the Rollover Sellers (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement)). The only class or type of equity in Buyer issued by Buyer to Trimaran Pollo Partners, L.L.C. and its affiliates as of the Closing are shares of Buyer Common Stock. 


  

	5.	Miscellaneous. 

  

	 	(a)	Amendments and Modifications; Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented, and any provision hereof may be waived, at any time only by an instrument in
writing duly executed by the Buyer and Rollover Seller. At any time prior to the Closing, the Buyer, with respect to any term or provision hereof to which it is entitled to the benefits, and Rollover Seller, with respect to any term or provision
hereof to which Rollover Seller is entitled to the benefits, may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties
contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained herein. 

  

	 	(b)	Effectiveness; Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement shall not be effective until, and shall become effective and binding upon the parties hereto upon, the execution
and delivery hereof by the Buyer and Rollover Seller. The Purchase Agreement, the Related Documents and this Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all
prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among such parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise; provided, however, that the
Buyer may assign its rights and obligations to any Affiliate of the Buyer (unless to do so would restrict or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), but no such assignment shall relieve the Buyer of its
obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer may assign its rights hereunder for collateral purposes only, to any of the Buyer’s financing sources that originally provides financing in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement (or any such financing sources’ successors or permitted assigns and any other secured lenders that may refinance any such financings), provided that no such assignment shall relieve the
Buyer of its obligations hereunder. 

  

	 	(c)	 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, regardless of the Laws that might
otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflict 



  

 - 6 - 









	 	 
or choice of Law (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law). 


  

	 	(d)	Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at Law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy
available at Law or in equity. 

  

	 	(e)	Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given (i) when received, if delivered personally, (ii) when transmitted, if by facsimile (which is confirmed) (iii) upon receipt, if by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) or (iv) the day
after it is sent, if sent for next-day delivery to a domestic address by overnight mail, to the relevant parties hereto at the following addresses:

“including” shall mean “including without limitation.”
