 RECITALS 

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Stockholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act) of 145,319,800 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, (all such shares collectively, the “Subject Shares”); 

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution hereof, The Kroger Co., an Ohio Corporation (“Parent”), Kettle Merger Sub,

time, excluding any Prohibited Amendment (as defined below), the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for, among other things, at the Effective Time, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the
“Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger

 WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have required that
Stockholder, and as an inducement and in consideration therefor, Stockholder (in Stockholder’s capacity as the beneficial owner of the Subject Shares) has agreed to, enter into this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I 
 AGREEMENT 

1.1    Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Stockholder hereby undertakes and
agrees that, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.2, Stockholder shall (or, to the extent that any of the Subject Shares are held of record by another record holder on behalf of
Stockholder (a “Record Holder”), shall cause such Record Holder and any other Person through which any of the Subject Shares are directly or indirectly beneficially owned by or held on behalf of the Stockholder (each, an
“Intermediary”) to) execute, deliver and take (or permit another Person to execute, deliver and take), pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, an action by consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders of the Company
approving and adopting the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby as promptly as practicable (and in any event four (4) Business Days following execution and delivery of this Agreement). Without limiting the foregoing, upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and unless and until this Agreement shall 











 
have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.2, to the extent that any of the Subject Shares are held by another Record Holder, Stockholder shall, as promptly as practicable
(and in any event within four (4) Business Days following execution and delivery of this Agreement): (i) direct such Record Holder (and direct any applicable Intermediaries to direct such Record Holder) to execute, deliver and take an action by
consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders of the Company approving and adopting the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and to provide any and all applicable directions and instructions to any such Record Holders and
Intermediaries with respect thereto and/or (ii) obtain a proxy, power of attorney, or similar authority from any such Record Holders authorizing Stockholder to execute, deliver and take an action by consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders
of the Company approving and adopting the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and thereupon execute, deliver and take such action by consent pursuant to such proxy or power of attorney. 

1.2    Power of Attorney. To secure the Stockholder’s obligations in accordance with Section 1.1 of this
Agreement, the Stockholder hereby grants Juliette W. Pryor, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, as the Stockholder’s attorney in fact, with the power to act alone, to execute all appropriate instruments
consistent with this Agreement on behalf of the Stockholder if, and only if, the Stockholder fails to execute such other instruments in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement within four (4) Business Days following execution and
delivery of this Agreement. Such appointment will be irrevocable for the term hereof. The appointment will survive the merger or reorganization of the Stockholder.

securities Laws, require any consent, approval, order, authorization or other action by, or filing with or notice to, any Person (including any Governmental Entity) under any applicable Law, in case of each of clauses (a) and (b), except as
would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Stockholder’s ability to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 2.4    Voting
Power. Subject to this Agreement, any Loan Agreement and the Filed Company SEC Documents, Stockholder has full and sole power and authority to direct the voting of, and full and sole power of disposition with respect to, all of the Subject

 5.10    Severability. If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force
