any obligation or duty to bring business opportunities to the attention of the Company or any other Member.

(b) Notwithstanding
the generality of Section 2.4(a):

(i)

Corporation shall continue to sell the brands under the Existing Agency Agreement, (B) Banfi Products Corporation and House of

that meets Banfi’s specifications, and if neither CyT nor one of its Affiliates is able to produce a wine from such appellation
that meets such specifications, then Banfi Products Corporation and House of Banfi shall be permitted to sell an Argentine wine
brand from a third party that does meet those specifications.

3.3
Meetings; Quorum.

(a) Meetings
of the Board of Directors shall be held at least twice a year. Meetings may be called by order of the Chairman of the Board
or any Director. Notice of the time and place of each meeting shall be given by or at the direction of the person or persons
calling the meeting by mailing the same at least twelve (12) Business Days before the meeting, or by sending the same by
nationally recognized overnight courier service at least ten (10) Business Days before the meeting, or by means of
communications (e.g. telecopying, e-mailing) that permit the evidence of receiving such a notice or delivering personally the
same at least ten (10) Business Days before the meeting to each Director. The notice of meeting shall set forth an agenda of
the business to be transacted at the meeting. Except as otherwise required by the Act, or as set forth in Section
3.3(b) with regard to adjournments, any and all business may be transacted at any meeting.

(b) At
any meeting of the Board of Directors, the presence in person or by proxy of both Banfi Directors and both CyT Directors
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any specified item of business requiring Unanimous Approval and the presence
in person or by proxy of at least three Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any other business. In the
absence of a quorum, those Directors present may adjourn the meeting to a specified date (which shall not be less than three
(3) Business Days after the date of the originally scheduled meeting). If a quorum is lacking at the adjourned meeting, that
meeting may again be adjourned to a specified date (which shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date of
the first adjourned meeting). Notice of an adjourned meeting shall be given in the manner specified in Section 3.3(a),
except such notice need not be delivered more than three (3) Business Days prior to the adjourned meeting. At any adjourned
meeting at which the requisite quorum is present, only that business set forth in the notice of the meeting as originally
called may be transacted. If after December 31, 2016, a Member’s appointed Directors fail to attend a duly noticed
meeting of the Board such that there is no quorum, and if such Member’s Directors fail to then attend both duly noticed
adjournments of such meeting, such that there is no quorum for the meeting and two adjournments thereof, then the other
Member shall have the put right or call right, as the case may be, set forth in Section 7.7. In the case in which the
quorum is not reached when the Board of Directors is convened after two consecutive attempts (with one such attempt being an
adjournment of the original meeting) in order to resolve any of those decisions set forth in Section 3.4(c) that
require the exclusive vote of the Directors appointed by Banfi, due in each case to the absence of one or more properly
noticed CyT Directors, then at the second adjournment of such meeting of the Board of Directors only the Banfi Directors will
constitute the necessary quorum for resolving those decisions set forth in Section 3.4(c).

(c) Each
proxy shall be in writing executed by the Director giving the proxy or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall
be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from its date unless a longer period is provided for
in the proxy. Unless and until voted, every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Person who executed it or of that
Person's legal representative or assigns, except in those cases where an irrevocable proxy permitted by statute has been
given.

(d)
The Members agree that at the first meeting of the Board each year during the three (3) year term of a Chairman, the
Directors appointed by the Member that does not then have the right to designate the Chairman shall select a person (who need
not be a Director) to act as the secretary of the Board meetings for that twelve (12) month period. In the event of the
death, resignation , incapacity or removal by the appointing Directors, with or without cause, of the person designated as
the secretary, the Directors who had the right to appoint the secretary shall have the right to designate another person to
serve as secretary for the remainder of the twelve (12) month period.

the modification, waiver or amendment of any terms thereof.

(c)
Any vote relating to the termination of an Agency Agreement due to the breach of the supplier thereunder pursuant to Section
7(b) of such Agency Agreement shall be voted on by the Banfi Directors only, but only if the breach has not been cured to the
Company’s reasonable satisfaction within the 60-day cure period referenced in such Section 7(b). In the event the Banfi
Directors vote to terminate an Agency Agreement pursuant to Section 7(b) thereof, Banfi shall have the right to, but shall not

(e) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.4(a), following any increase in the Net Cost (as defined below) of any product purchased
by the Company under any of the Agency Agreements, unless the Board agrees otherwise, the Company shall, without the need for
any approval of the Board, increase the price the Company charges to its customers for such product by an amount that ensures

such price increase under the Agency Agreement. For purposes hereof, (i) “Net Cost” of a product means the
f.o.b. cost to the Company of that product under the relevant Agency Agreement minus the amount of any sales and
marketing support being provided to the Company by the supplier for that product under such Agency Agreement, and (ii)
“Profit Margin” for a product means the quotient of (A) the Company’s selling price for such product minus
Net Cost of such product, and (B) the Company’s selling price for such product.

3.5 Action

or this Agreement, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board may be taken without a meeting if

by means of a conference telephone, video conference or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in
the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.

Manager may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Directors who selected and appointed such Co-General Manager.
Any vacancy occurring in the Board or among the Co-General Managers due to the death, resignation, incapacity, or removal, with
or without cause, of a Director or Co-General Manager shall be filled in the same manner set forth in Section 3.1 as was
used to nominate and appoint that Person. In the event of the death, resignation , incapacity or removal, with or without cause,
of the Director designated as the Chairman, the Member who had the right to appoint the Chairman under Section 3.1(a) shall
have the right to designate another Director (including any new Director appointed to fill the vacancy) to serve as Chairman for

 On or before March 31 of each year, commencing with March 31, 2012, to the extent that there is sufficient
Available Cash, the Company shall distribute to each Member an amount equal to the difference between (i) an amount
sufficient, as reasonably determined by the Board, to permit each Member to pay its estimated federal, state and local income
taxes on its allocable share of the taxable income of the Company allocated to such Member in accordance with this Agreement
for the prior Fiscal Year, assuming an income tax rate equal to 39% (whether or not that rate is applicable to all Members or
is the rate actually paid by any Member on its income), and (ii) the aggregate amount (if less than the amount in clause (i)
above) of all distributions made to such Member pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.2(a) during such
prior Fiscal Year (such difference, a “Tax Distribution”) not including any Tax Distribution made in such
Fiscal Year for a prior Fiscal Year. To the extent that there is not sufficient Available Cash for distribution to make the
full amount of any Tax Distribution pursuant to this Section 6.2(a), any shortfall shall be distributed to the Members
as soon as practicable when such Available Cash becomes available. Any Tax Distribution made pursuant to this Section
6.2(a) shall be treated as an advance distribution under the first sentence of this Section 6.2(a) and shall be
taken into account in determining the amount of any future distributions to such Member under the first sentence of this Section
6.2(a).

(b) For
purposes of this Section 6.2 and ARTICLE VI, “Members” shall be limited to Members who at the time
of the applicable distribution are entitled to receive distributions hereunder.

Any amounts withheld pursuant to the Code, including federal income taxes required to be withheld under Section 1.1441-5(b)(2)(i)
of the Regulations, or any provision of any state or local tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to
the Company or the Members shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Members pursuant to this ARTICLE VI for all purposes
of this Agreement. The Board is authorized to withhold from distributions and to pay over to any federal, state or local government
any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any other federal, state or local law and shall
allocate such amounts to those Members with respect to which such amounts were withheld.

(d)
In the event that the Company or any Member thereof becomes liable as a result of a failure to withhold and remit taxes
in respect of payments or allocations made to any other Member or any Affiliate thereof under this Agreement or any related agreement,
then, in addition to, and without limiting, any other indemnities for which such other Member may be liable in respect of this
Agreement or any related agreement, such other Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company or the other Members, as the
case may be, in respect of all such taxes, including interest and penalties, and any expenses incurred in connection with such
liability. The provisions contained in this Section 6.2(d) shall survive the termination of the Company and the withdrawal
of any Member.

6.3 Restriction
on Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, payment of distributions under Section
6.2 may be made by the Company only to the extent that such payment would not violate applicable financing agreements or
credit agreements of the Company, and no distribution may be made by the Company to any Member in violation of the Act
(including Section 18-607 thereof) or any applicable law.

6.4 Passed
Distributions. If any Member assigns all or part of its interest in the Company in a transfer permitted under the
terms of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the assigning Member and the assignee, the assignee shall be entitled to receive,
to the extent of the interest in the Company assigned, the amount of any distributions required to be made to the assigning Member
under Section 6.2 of this Agreement that were not actually made prior to the date of the assignment, when such distributions
are made by the Company.

6.5 Liquidation.
Liquidation proceeds, if any, shall be distributed in the manner set forth in Section 9.2.

Allocations.

its Profits for such Fiscal Year in the following order of priority:

1.
First, to each of the Members to the extent of, in proportion to and in the reverse order in which Losses were allocated to
such Member pursuant to Section 6.6(b)2, until the cumulative amount of Profits allocated to such Member
pursuant to this Section 6.6(a)1 is equal to the cumulative amount of Losses so allocated to such Member pursuant to Section
6.6(b)2; and

2.
Second, to the Members, in proportion to their Pro Rata Share.

(b) Losses.
After adjusting each Member’s Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions with respect to a Fiscal
Year, and after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.7 hereof, the Company shall allocate its
Losses for such Fiscal Year in the following order of priority:

1.
First, to each of the Members to the extent of, in proportion to, and in the reverse order in which Profits were previously
allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.6(a)2, until the cumulative amount of Losses allocated to such Member
pursuant to this Section 6.6(b)1 for all Fiscal Years is equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the aggregate amount of
Profits previously allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.6(a)2 for all Fiscal Years, over (y) the aggregate
amount of cash or property previously distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 6.2(a); and

2.
Second, to the Members in proportion to their Pro Rata Share; provided, however, that no Losses shall be allocated to a
Member pursuant to this Section 6.6(b)2 if such allocation would cause a Member to have an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit at the end of a Fiscal Year. If the allocation of Losses to a Member is limited by the proviso in the
previous sentence, and other Members have positive Adjusted Capital Accounts, any further Losses allocable pursuant to this Section
6.6(b)2 shall be allocated to those Members with positive Adjusted Capital Accounts in proportion to their Pro Rata Share
in such a manner so as to allocate the maximum amount of Losses to such Members, taking into account the proviso in the
previous sentence for each such Member.

6.7
Special Allocations.

(a) Minimum
Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, the “minimum gain

Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any
Fiscal Year, the “partner minimum gain chargeback” described in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) shall

Income Offset. This Section 6.7(c) incorporates the “qualified income offset” set forth in Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) as if those provisions were fully set forth in this Section 6.7(c).

(d) Nonrecourse
Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to Members in proportion to their Pro Rata Share.

(e) Member
Loan Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Members
which bear the economic risk of loss for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Loan Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable,
as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(l).

(f) Section
754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 734(b)
or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account
in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its interest in the Company,
the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis
of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members
in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to
the Member to which such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

6.8
Tax Matters.

(a) Contributed
Property and Book-Ups. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, including Regulation Section
1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(d)(3), income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed (or deemed contributed) to
the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the
adjusted basis of the property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the date of Contribution
(or deemed Contribution). If the Adjusted Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f),
subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to the asset shall take account any variation between
the adjusted basis of the asset for federal income tax purposes and its Adjusted Book Value in the manner required under Code
Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder as determined by the Board.

(b)
Manner of Allocations. Each item of the Company’s income, gain, loss, deduction and credit as determined for
federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes
in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE VI.

VI and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this ARTICLE VI in reporting their shares of Company income
and loss for federal income tax purposes.

of Determinations. For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to the Members with
respect to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined by the Board on a daily, monthly or other
basis using any method that is permissible under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

(e) Proportionate
Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction, credit
and any other allocations not otherwise provided for in this Agreement shall be divided among the Members in the same
proportions as they share Profits and Losses for the Fiscal Year in question.

(f) Nonrecourse
Liabilities. Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of “excess nonrecourse
liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members’ interest in
Profits shall be based on their respective Pro Rata Share.

WITHDRAWAL; ADDITIONAL MEMBERS

7.1
Transfer of Units; Withdrawal. No
Member shall have the right or power (a) directly or indirectly, to transfer all or any portion of its interest as a Member in
the Company, or to grant or assign any participation in its right to receive distributions or allocations of profits or losses
in respect thereof, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, or (b) to withdraw prior to the dissolution or winding up of the
Company, except (as to clause (a) or (b)) (i) as provided in this ARTICLE VII or ARTICLE VIII or (ii) with the prior
written consent of all of the Directors appointed by the other Member, which consent may be granted or withheld by any such Director
in his sole discretion. Any attempt to transfer a Member’s interest in the Company, or to withdraw from the Company, in
violation of this Section 7.1 shall be void, the Company shall refuse to recognize any such transfer and shall not reflect
on its records any change in record ownership of Units pursuant to any such transfer, and the Member attempting
to effect such transfer or withdrawal shall indemnify the Company and the other Member for any costs or expenses they may incur
in connection with the attempted transfer or withdrawal.

7.2
Permitted Transfers.

(a) A
Member may transfer all, but not a portion, of its Units in a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section 7.2(b)).

(b) As
used in this Agreement, a “Permitted Transfer” shall mean any transfer by a Member to (i) the other
Member, or (ii) a Permitted Transferee. “Permitted Transferee” shall mean any Affiliate of the Member,
provided that (i) the entire interest of the Member transferring its Units (the “Transferring Member”)
must be transferred to such Permitted Transferee, (ii) the Transferring Member shall unconditionally and irrevocably at all
times be liable for the payment and performance obligations of such Permitted Transferee owed to the Company, and (iii) in
connection with such transfer, the Transferring Member shall deliver to the Company an acknowledgement, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Board, of its continuing responsibility for all payment and performance obligations to the
Company and the other Member under this Agreement. After the transfer, should the Permitted Transferee no longer be an
Affiliate of the Transferring Member, the latter shall buy back the relevant participations within 60 days from receiving a
written claim by any other Member.

(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE VII, a Member may not transfer all or any portion of its interest if such
transfer would result in the Company becoming a “publicly-traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704
of the Code.

(d) In
the event that a Member elects to transfer its Units pursuant to this Section 7.2, such Member shall send a written
notice of such election to the other Member, stating that it is exercising its right to transfer its Units.

7.3
Put for Material Breach of Agency Agreement.
CyT or one or more of its Affiliates and the Company are parties to the Agency Agreements executed simultaneously with this Agreement.
Should an Agency Agreement be terminated pursuant to Section 7(b) thereof (if the supplier’s breach of such Agency Agreement
has not been cured to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction within the 60-day cure period referenced in such Section 7(b)),
Banfi shall, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the termination date, have the right to sell, and CyT agrees to
an irrevocable obligation to purchase, all of Banfi’s Units under this agreement, for the Agency Agreement Put Purchase
Price. The “Agency Agreement Put Purchase Price” is defined as Banfi’s Pro Rata Share of the product
of the average of the EBITDA of the Company for the three most recent Fiscal Years (or for the entire existence of the Company,
if less than three Fiscal Years), multiplied by ten (10). Within one hundred eighty (180) days following any such termination
of an Agency Agreement, Banfi may deliver written notice to CyT of its desire to exercise its rights under this section. Failure
to deliver such notice within such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall mean that Banfi irrevocably waives its put right
under this Section 7.3 for the particular Agency Agreement termination at issue. Any such purchase and sale shall be on
an “as-is”, “where-is” basis, except that Banfi shall transfer the Units to CyT
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any kind created by Banfi. The closing of any such purchase shall occur as soon
as reasonably practicable, but no later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after delivery of such notice to CyT by Banfi, and
(ii) five (5) days following expiration of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act
of 1976. For purposes of this Agreement, “EBITDA” means, for any period, the earnings of the Company during
that period before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, computed in a manner consistent with the accounting methodologies
of the Company. Nothing herein shall require Banfi to exercise its rights under this Section 7.3.

 

- 17 -

 

 

     

     

    

In
the event of a termination of an Agency Agreement for reasons set forth in this section, Banfi and the Company shall maintain
the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies available to them under applicable law, provided, however, that if Banfi
does exercise the put right contained herein with regard to the termination of any of the Agency Agreements, such exercise shall
be Banfi’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to all of the Agency Agreements and Banfi thereby waives (and shall cooperate
in causing the Company to waive) any and all other rights available to it under applicable law.

7.4
Put and Call for Breach of Non-Compete.

(a)
CyT’s Right to Call. In the event that Banfi or any of its Affiliates in the Territory breaches the covenant
to not sell wine produced in Chile or Argentina set forth in Section 2.4(b)(i), and such breach is not cured within sixty
(60) days after receipt by Banfi of written notice from CyT of such breach, CyT shall, for a period of one hundred eighty (180)
days from the end of such sixty (60) day period, have the right to purchase, and Banfi agrees to an irrevocable obligation to
sell, all of Banfi’s Units under this agreement, for an amount equal to Banfi’s Pro Rata Share of the product of (i)
the average of the EBITDA of the Company for the three most recent Fiscal Years, and (ii) four (4). Within such one hundred eighty
(180) day period, CyT may deliver written notice to Banfi of its desire to exercise its rights under this subsection (a). Failure
to deliver such notice within such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall mean that CyT irrevocably waives its call right under
this Section 7.4 for the particular breach of covenant at issue. Any such purchase and sale shall be on an “as-is”,
“where-is” basis, except that Banfi shall transfer the Units to CyT free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of
any kind created by Banfi. The closing of any such purchase shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than the
later of (i) sixty (60) days after delivery of such notice of exercise to Banfi by CyT, and (ii) five (5) days following expiration
of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

(b)
Banfi’s Right to Put. In the event that CyT or any of its Affiliates breaches the covenant to not sell wine
produced in Italy set forth in Section 2.4(b)(ii), and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days after receipt by
CyT of written notice from Banfi of such breach, Banfi shall, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the end of such
sixty (60) day period, have the right to sell, and CyT agrees to an irrevocable obligation to purchase, all of Banfi’s Units
under this agreement, for an amount equal to Banfi’s Pro Rata Share of the product of (i) the average of the EBITDA of the
Company for the three most recent Fiscal Years, and (ii) ten (10). Within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, Banfi may
deliver written notice to CyT of its desire to exercise its rights under this subsection (b). Failure to deliver such notice within
such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall mean that Banfi irrevocably waives its put right under this Section 7.4
for the particular breach of covenant at issue. Any such purchase and sale shall be on an “as-is”,
“where-is” basis, except that Banfi shall transfer the Units to CyT free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of
any kind created by Banfi. The closing of any such purchase shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than the
later of (i) sixty (60) days after delivery of such notice of exercise to CyT by Banfi, and (ii) five (5) days following expiration
of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

(c) Non-exclusive
Remedy. Nothing herein shall require a Member to exercise its rights under this Section 7.4. In the event of a
breach of the covenants in Section 2.4(b), each Member shall maintain the right to exercise any and all rights and
remedies available to it under applicable law, provided, however, that if a Member does exercise the put or call right (as
the case may be) contained herein, such exercise shall be that Member’s sole and exclusive remedy for the particular
breach of covenant at issue and such Member thereby waives any and all other rights available to it under applicable law.

7.5
Put and Call for Change of Control.

(a)
CyT’s right to Call. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined below) of Banfi occurring any time after
December 31, 2016, Banfi shall immediately deliver written notice of the occurrence of such event (a “Change of Control
Notice”) to CyT. Any Change of Control Notice shall set forth the identity of the successor, as well as the information
needed to compute the Change of Control Call Purchase Price as defined in Section 7.5(d). Upon receipt of a Change of Control
Notice, CyT shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon delivery of written notice of its intention to exercise such right
to Banfi or its successor within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Change of Control Notice, to purchase from Banfi or its
successor, and, if CyT exercises such right, Banfi or its successor shall have an irrevocable obligation to sell to CyT, all of
Banfi’s Units in the Company for a purchase price equal to the Change of Control Call Purchase Price. Failure to deliver
such notice within such thirty (30) day period shall mean that CyT irrevocably waives it call right under this Section 7.5.
Any such purchase and sale shall be on an “as-is”, “where-is” basis, except that Banfi shall transfer
the Units to CyT free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any kind created by Banfi. The closing of any such purchase shall
occur as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than the later of (i) thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice of
exercise to Banfi by CyT, and (ii) five (5) days following expiration of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

(b)
Banfi’s Right to Put. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined below) of CyT occurring any time after
December 31, 2016, CyT shall immediately deliver a Change of Control Notice to Banfi, which shall include the identity of the
successor. Upon receipt of a Change of Control Notice, Banfi shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon delivery of written
notice of its intention to exercise such right to CyT within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Change of Control Notice,
to sell to CyT or its successor, and, if Banfi exercises such right, CyT or its successor shall have an irrevocable obligation
to purchase from Banfi, all of Banfi’s Units in the Company for a purchase price equal to the Change of Control Put Purchase
Price. Failure to deliver such notice within such thirty (30) day period shall mean that Banfi irrevocably waives its put right
under this Section 7.5. Any such purchase and sale shall be on an “as-is”, “where-is” basis, except
that Banfi shall transfer the Units to CyT free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any kind created by Banfi. The closing
of any such purchase shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than the later of (i) thirty (30) days after
delivery of such notice of exercise to CyT by Banfi, and (ii) five (5)days following expiration of any applicable waiting period
under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

(c)
Change of Control. “Change of Control” means, with regard to either Member, (i) any “person”
or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder as in effect on the date hereof (the “Exchange Act”)),
other than Permitted Holders of such party (as defined below), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in
Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting power of the total outstanding
voting stock of such Member, or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of that Member to a person or group other
than Permitted Holders. With regard to Banfi, a Change of Control shall also have occurred if there is a Change of Control of
Banfi Products Corporation. With regard to CyT, a Change of Control shall also have occurred if there is a Change of Control of
Viña Concha y Toro S.A. With regard to CyT, “Permitted Holders” means (1) Isabel Gana Morande, Eduardo Guilisasti
Gana, Rafael Guilisasti Gana, Pablo Guilisasti Gana, José Guilisasti Gana, Isabel Guilisasti Gana, Josefina Guilisasti
Gana, Sara Guilisasti Gana, Alfonso Larrain Santa Maria, Teresa Vial Sanchez, any descendants of any of the foregoing (whether
by blood or adoption), or the estate of any of the foregoing individuals, (2) trusts which are for the benefit of those set forth
in (1), or any trust for the benefit of any such trust which trusts are under the control of any or a combination of those described
in (1), or (3) partnerships, limited liability companies or any other entities which are controlled, directly or indirectly, by
any of those described in (1), or by any trust referred to in (2). With regard to Banfi, “Permitted Holders” means
(1) John F. Mariani, Harry F. Mariani, any descendants of either of the foregoing (whether by blood or adoption), or the estate
of any of the foregoing individuals, (2) trusts which are for the benefit of those set forth in (1), or any trust for the benefit
of any such trust which trusts are under the control of any or a combination of those described in (1), or (3) partnerships, limited
liability companies or any other entities which are controlled, directly or indirectly, by any of those described in (1), or by
any trust referred to in (2).

(d)
Change of Control Call Purchase Price. The “Change of Control Call Purchase Price” is the amount
yielded by the following formula:

A × B × C

D 

where:

 

A = Banfi’s Pro Rata
Share;

 

B = the average of the EBITDA
of the Company for the three most recent Fiscal Years;

 

C = the
aggregate purchase price for the entity undergoing the Change of Control (adjusted to reflect a sale of 100% of the voting stock
or assets, as the case may be, of the entity undergoing the Change of Control if less than 100% is actually sold or transferred);
and

 

D = the average of the EBITDA
of the entity undergoing the Change of Control for the three most recent fiscal years of that entity.

 

- 20  -

 

 

     

     

    

For purposes of
the foregoing calculation, the aggregate purchase price for the entity undergoing the Change of Control shall include the fair
market value of all consideration for the Change of Control received by the entity undergoing the Change of Control and by its
equity holders (including, without limitation, cash and securities paid at closing of the transaction, non-compete payments, promissory
notes, and the like) less the amount of any liabilities of the entity undergoing the Change of Control for borrowed money assumed
by the successor in the Change of Control transaction.

(e)
Change of Control Put Purchase Price. The “Change of Control Put Purchase Price” is an amount
equal to Banfi’s Pro Rata Share of the product of (i) the average EBITDA of the Company for the three most recent Fiscal
Years, and (ii) seven (7).

7.6
Sales of Units to Third Parties.

(a) Restrictions.
Except as permitted in Section 7.2, no Member shall transfer, or accept or solicit an offer for the transfer of, its
Units prior to December 31, 2016 (such period referred to herein as the “Lock-up Period”).

(b) Post
Lock-up Period Transfer Procedure. If at any time after the Lock-up Period, a Member wishes to transfer all (but not
less than all) its Units to a Person other than a Person to whom transfer is permitted under Section 7.2, such Member
(a “Selling Member”) must first deliver written notice (an “Offer Notice”), which shall be
irrevocable, offering to sell all such Units (the “Offered Interest”) for an all cash purchase price to
the other Member (the “Offeree Member”). Such Offer Notice shall (i) be dated the date it is sent, (ii)
state the Selling Member’s desire to consummate the sale of the Offered Interest (the “Membership Interest
Sale”), and (iii) state the Offer Price with respect to such Offered Interest. As used herein, “Offer
Price” shall mean the minimum aggregate cash price for which the Selling Member intends to sell the Offered
Interest pursuant to the Membership Interest Sale.

(c) Exercise
of Right of First Refusal. The Offeree Member shall have the right (such right, a “Right of First
Refusal”) exercisable by delivering written notice, which shall be irrevocable (the “ROFR Exercise
Notice”), to the Selling Member no later than ninety (90) days after its receipt of an Offer Notice (the
“ROFR Period”), to purchase all of the Offered Interest at the Offer Price on the terms set out in the
Offer Notice. If the Offeree Member does not deliver a ROFR Exercise Notice to the Selling Member within the ROFR Period, the
Offeree Member shall be deemed to have rejected the Right of First Refusal with respect to the Offered Interest, and the
Selling Member shall have the right to effect the desired Membership Interest Sale pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this ARTICLE VII. If the Offeree Member delivers a ROFR Exercise Notice to the Selling Member within the ROFR Period,
then the Offeree Member shall be obligated to consummate the acquisition of the Offered Interest at the Offer Price within
sixty (60) days after its delivery of the ROFR Exercise Notice. Upon receipt of the Offer Price from the Offeree Member, the
Selling Member shall convey to the Offeree Member the entire Offered Interest, free and clear of all liens, claims and
encumbrances.

 

- 21  -

 

 

     

     

    

(d) Procedure
Applicable if Right of First Refusal is Not Exercised. If the Offeree Member has not elected to exercise its Right of
First Refusal with respect to a Membership Interest Sale within the ROFR Period, the Selling Member may, at any time prior to
the date that is twelve (12) months after the expiration of the ROFR Period (such twelve (12) month period, the
“Sale Period”), solicit offers from third parties for the purchase of all (but not a part of) the Offered
Interest. In the event that, during the Sale Period, the Selling Member proposes to effect a Transfer to a third party of the
Offered Interest, the Selling Member shall promptly give written notice within the Sale Period to the Offeree Member (the
“Transfer Notice”), which notice shall set forth the identity of the proposed purchaser (the
“Proposed Purchaser”), the purchase price, which shall be an all cash purchase price (the
“Transfer Price”), the proposed terms of the sale and all other relevant information including, but not
limited to, reasonable information with respect to the financial status, business experience and reputation of the Proposed
Purchaser. The Transfer Notice shall also contain a certification by the Selling Member that the Transfer Price is a bona
fide offer from a third party.

(e) Right
of Last Refusal. The Offeree Member shall have the right (such right, a “Right of Last Refusal”)
exercisable by delivering written notice (the “ROLR Exercise Notice”) to the Selling Member no later than
forty five (45) days after its receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “ROLR Period”), to purchase all of the
Offered Interest from the Selling Member at the Transfer Price and on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. If the
Offeree Member does not deliver a ROLR Exercise Notice to the Selling Member within the ROLR Period, the Offeree Member shall
be deemed to have rejected the Right of Last Refusal with respect to the Offered Interest, and the Selling Member shall have
the right to effect the desired Membership Interest Sale on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice, subject to the
tag-along rights of the Offeree Member with respect thereto as set out in Section 7.6(f).

(f)
Tag-Along Rights. The Offeree Member shall also have the right, (such right, a “Tag-Along Right”)
exercisable by delivering written notice (the “Tag-Along Notice”) to the Selling Member no later than forty-five
(45) days after its receipt of a Transfer Notice (the “Tag-Along Period”), to participate with the Selling
Member in the Transfer of all their respective Units and interests in the Company pursuant to the transaction described in a Transfer
Notice. In the event the Offeree Member delivers a Tag-Along Notice, the Proposed Purchaser either (i) shall purchase all of the
Units of all of the Members, in which case the Selling Member and the Offeree Member shall each Transfer all of their Units in
the Company to such Proposed Purchaser, on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice, or (ii) shall not purchase any Unit from
the Selling Member or the Offeree Member. The Offeree Member shall not be obligated to make any representations or warranties
to the Proposed Purchaser other than as to its existence, authority, due execution, and ownership of its Units.

(g) Completion
of Transfer. Except as provided in Section 7.6(c), any transfer permitted pursuant to Section 7.6 shall be
consummated not later than ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Sale Period (the
“Required Completion Period”). If no transfer is consummated within the Required Completion Period, the
Selling Member shall not transfer the Offered Interest without again complying with this ARTICLE VII.

7.7
Put and Call for Failure to Attend Board Meetings.

(a) CyT’s
right to Call. If after December 31, 2016, Banfi’s appointed Directors fail to attend (in person, via electronic
communications equipment or by proxy) a duly noticed meeting of the Board such that there is no quorum, and if Banfi’s
Directors fail to then attend (in person, via electronic communications equipment or by proxy) both duly noticed adjournments
of such meeting, such that there is no quorum for the meeting and two adjournments thereof, then for a period of sixty (60)
days after the date of the second adjournment, CyT shall have the right to buy from Banfi, and Banfi shall have an
irrevocable obligation to sell to CyT, all of Banfi’s Units for an amount equal to Banfi’s Pro Rata Share of the
product of (i) the average of the EBITDA of the Company for the three most recent Fiscal Years, and (ii) seven (7). Within
such sixty (60) days period, CyT may deliver written notice to Banfi of its desire to exercise its rights under this section.
Failure of CyT to deliver such notice within such sixty (60) day period shall mean that CyT irrevocably waives its call right
under this Section 7.7(a) with respect to the meeting and two adjournments at issue. Any such purchase and sale shall
be on an “as-is”, “where-is” basis, except that Banfi shall transfer the Units to CyT free and clear
of all liens and encumbrances of any kind. The closing of any such purchase shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable,
but no later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after delivery of the aforementioned notice by CyT to the Banfi, and (ii)
five (5) days following expiration of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of
1976. Nothing herein shall require CyT to exercise its rights under this Section 7.7(a), provided, however, that if
CyT does exercise the call right contained herein with regard to the failure of the Banfi Directors to attend such meeting
and subsequent adjournments, such exercise shall be CyT’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect thereto.

(b) Banfi’s
right to Call. If after December 31, 2016, CyT’s appointed Directors fail to attend (in person, via electronic
communications equipment or by proxy) a duly noticed meeting of the Board such that there is no quorum (except with regard to
decisions of the type described in Section 3.4(c) for which this Section 7.7(b) shall not apply), and if
CyT’s Directors fail to then attend (in person, via electronic communications equipment or by proxy) both duly noticed
adjournments of such meeting, such that there is no quorum for the meeting and two adjournments thereof, then for a period of
sixty (60) days after the date of the second adjournment, Banfi shall have the right to sell, and CyT shall have an
irrevocable obligation to buy from Banfi, all of Banfi’s Units for an amount equal to Banfi’s Pro Rata Share of
the product of (i) the average of the EBITDA of the Company for the three most recent Fiscal Years, and (ii) seven (7).
Within such sixty (60) days period, Banfi may deliver written notice to CyT of its desire to exercise its rights under this
section. Failure of Banfi to deliver such notice within such sixty (60) day period shall mean that Banfi irrevocably waives
its put right under this Section 7.7(b) with respect to the meeting and two adjournments at issue. Any such purchase
and sale shall be on an “as-is”, “where-is” basis, except that Banfi shall transfer the Units to CyT
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any kind. The closing of any such purchase shall occur as soon as reasonably
practicable, but no later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after delivery of aforementioned notice by Banfi to CyT, and
(ii) five (5) days following expiration of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Nothing herein shall require Banfi to exercise its rights under this Section
7.7(b), provided, however, that if Banfi does exercise the put right contained herein with regard to the failure of the
CyT Directors to attend such meeting and subsequent adjournments, such exercise shall be Banfi’s sole and exclusive
remedy with respect thereto.

ARTICLE
VIII

DEADLOCK

8.1
Duty of the Board to Agree and Compromise.
Each Director will use good faith reasonable efforts to agree and compromise on the business and management decisions necessary
or desirable to carry out the business activities of the Company. As a result, it is expected that very few matters, if any, will
result in a Deadlock (as defined below) and be subject to the Deadlock resolution provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII.

8.2 Deadlock.
A “Deadlock” will have occurred if agreement cannot be obtained by the Board of Directors on any Business Plan
Deadlock (as defined below) or on any matter requiring Unanimous Approval of the Board, including, without limitation, under Section
3.4(d). For all other matters where agreement cannot be obtained by the Board of Directors, the business of the Company shall
continue and the matter before the Board shall not be approved, until such agreement is reached, if ever.

8.3
Business Plan Deadlock.

(a) In
the event of a Deadlock as to approval of the Business Plan for any Fiscal Year (a “Business Plan
Deadlock”), which Deadlock is not resolved using the procedure set forth in Sections 8.4(a) and 8.4(b),
then, except as otherwise set forth in Section 8.3(c), the Company shall operate on the basis of the budget and
operating plan of the Business Plan for the prior Fiscal Year with the following adjustments:

(i)
The approved budgeted selling and operating expenses for the Company for any period during the current Fiscal Year shall be equal
to the budgeted selling and operating expenses of the Company for the Fiscal Year just ended increased by a percentage equal to
the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index during the Fiscal Year just ended. For purposes hereof, “Consumer
Price Index” means the United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Statistics’ Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the U.S. City Average for All Items.

(ii)
The approved marketing budget for the Company for any period during the current Fiscal Year (on a per case of product basis,
for each case planned to be sold in the current Fiscal Year) shall be deemed to be a fraction of the number of cases of
product sold by the Company during the same period, where the numerator of such fraction is equal to the actual marketing
expenditures of the Company during the Fiscal Year just ended, and the denominator of such fraction is equal to the number of
cases of product sold by the Company during such Fiscal Year just ended.

(iii)
The approved promotional budget for the Company for any period during the current Fiscal Year (on a per case of product basis,
for each case planned to be sold in the current Fiscal Year) shall be deemed to be a fraction of the number
of cases of product sold by the Company during the same period, where the numerator of such fraction is equal to the actual promotional
expenditures of the Company during the Fiscal Year just ended, and the denominator of such fraction is equal to the number of
cases of product sold by the Company during such Fiscal Year just ended.

 

- 24 -

 

 

     

     

    

(b)
“Business Plan” means the annual budget and operating plan, including, without limitation, the marketing,
promotion or creative plan, and projected balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow, for the Company for such
Fiscal Year presented to and approved by the Board of Directors. In the absence of approval of a Business Plan for any Fiscal
Year, the “Business Plan” for that Fiscal Year shall be deemed to be the last Business Plan approved by the Board
with those adjustments described in Section 8.3(a).

(c)
For any Business Plan Deadlock occurring after December 31, 2016, and prior to December 31, 2021, other than an Excluded
Sales and Marketing Deadlock as defined below, which Business Plan Deadlock results in the Company not having a Board approved
Business Plan for two (2) consecutive Fiscal Years, or if as the result of Business Plan Deadlocks the Company does not have a
Board approved Business Plan for any three (3) Fiscal Years during any four (4) consecutive Fiscal Years during the period between
January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2021, the following shall be applied:

(i)
For a period of sixty (60) days after the midpoint of such second consecutive Fiscal Year or such third Fiscal Year, as the
case may be, Banfi shall have the right to sell to CyT, and CyT has the right to purchase from Banfi, all of Banfi’s
Units for the Deadlock Purchase Price (as defined in Section 8.4(c)(iii)). Within such sixty (60) days period, either
Member may deliver written notice to the other of its desire to exercise its rights under this section. If Banfi delivers
such a notice then CyT shall have an irrevocable obligation to purchase all of Banfi’s Units for the Deadlock Purchase
Price, and if CyT delivers such a notice then Banfi shall have an irrevocable obligation to sell to CyT all of Banfi’s
Units for the Deadlock Purchase Price. Failure of either Member to deliver such notice within such sixty (60) day period
shall mean that each Member irrevocably waives its rights under this Section 8.3(c) with regard to the Business Plan
Deadlock at issue. Any such purchase and sale shall be on an “as-is”, “where-is” basis, except that
Banfi shall transfer the Units to CyT free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any kind. The closing of any such
purchase shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after delivery of
the first such notice by one Member to the other, and (ii) five (5) days following expiration of any applicable waiting
period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Nothing herein shall require a Member to exercise its
rights under this Section 8.3(c).

(ii)
If neither Member exercises its rights under this clause (c) within the periods provided, then no action shall be taken with respect
to the Business Plan Deadlock at issue, and the Members shall continue their activities with respect to the Company, until and
unless another series of Business Plan Deadlocks emerges with the time frames specified, at which time the provisions of this
Section 8.3(c) shall again be applicable.

 

- 25 -

 

 

     

     

    

(d)
For any Business Plan Deadlock occurring after December 31, 2021, other than an Excluded Sales and Marketing Deadlock,
which Business Plan Deadlock results in the Company not having a Board approved Business Plan for any three
(3) Fiscal Years during any four (4) consecutive Fiscal Years, the following shall be applied:

(i)
For a period of sixty (60) days after the end of such third Fiscal Year, Banfi shall have the right to sell to CyT, and CyT
has the right to purchase from Banfi, all of Banfi’s Units for the Deadlock Purchase Price (as defined in Section
8.4(c)(iii)). Within such sixty (60) days period, either Member may deliver written notice to the other of its desire to
exercise its rights under this section. If Banfi delivers such a notice then CyT shall have an irrevocable obligation to
purchase all of Banfi’s Units for the Deadlock Purchase Price, and if CyT delivers such a notice then Banfi shall have
an irrevocable obligation to sell to CyT all of Banfi’s Units for the Deadlock Purchase Price. Failure of either Member
to deliver such notice within such sixty (60) day period shall mean that each Member irrevocably waives its rights under this Section
8.3(d) with regard to the Business Plan Deadlock at issue. Any such purchase and sale shall be on an “as-is”,
“where-is” basis, except that Banfi shall transfer the Units to CyT free and clear of all liens and encumbrances
of any kind. The closing of any such purchase shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than the later of
(i) sixty (60) days after delivery of the first such notice by one Member to the other, and (ii) five (5) days following
expiration of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Nothing herein
shall require a Member to exercise its rights under this Section 8.3(d).

(ii)
If neither Member exercises its rights under this clause (d), then no action shall be taken with respect to the Business Plan
Deadlock at issue, and the Members shall continue their activities with respect to the Company, until and unless another
series of Business Plan Deadlocks emerges, at which time the provisions of this Section 8.3(d) shall again be
applicable.

(e) For
purposes of Sections 8.3(c) and 8.3(d), “Excluded Sales and Marketing Deadlock” means a
Business Plan Deadlock occurring as the result of (i) one Member’s Directors refusing to approve a proposed Business
Plan solely because it includes an increase in the marketing, sales or promotional budget for such Fiscal Year (on a per case
of product basis, for each case planned to be sold in the current Fiscal Year) over that set forth in the last Board approved
Business Plan in excess of any corresponding increase in marketing, sales and promotion support provided to the Company by
the suppliers of products under the Agency Agreements, and (ii) such suppliers refuse to increase their aggregate level of
marketing, sales and promotional support for such Fiscal Year to equal the increase for such items included in the proposed
Business Plan.

8.4
Resolution.

(a) The
Members shall first negotiate in good faith to resolve the Deadlock or to agree on a voluntary sale or dissolution of the
Company or the interests of any Member therein. If no resolution is reached by representatives of the Members, either Member
may give written notice, in accordance with Section 11.1 of this Agreement, to the other of the desire to have the
matter referred to the chief executive (or equivalent) officers of each of the Members for resolution. A Deadlock notice will
be deemed given, and the “date of Deadlock” established, at the time of personal delivery, if sent by facsimile,
when sent with electronic notification of delivery or other confirmation of delivery or receipt, or, if
sent by Federal Express or other reputable overnight courier, on the day of delivery.

 

- 26 -

 

 

     

     

    

(b) The
chief executive (or equivalent) officers of each of the Members may work to resolve the Deadlock for forty-five (45) days
from the date of Deadlock, and renew such period of Deadlock resolution for an additional forty-five (45) days.

(c) If
no agreement is reached among the Members within ninety (90) days of the date of Deadlock, then:

(i) with
regard to a Business Plan Deadlock, the procedures set forth in Section 8.3 shall apply.

(ii) with
regard to all Deadlocks, other than Business Plan Deadlocks, occurring prior to December 31, 2016, no action shall be
taken.

(iii)
with regard to all Deadlocks relating to decisions set forth in Sections 3.4(d)(vi) through 3.4(d)(viii)
occurring after December 31, 2016 (except, that the following shall not apply to Deadlocks with respect to Section
3.4(vii) where the proposed merger, conversion, consolidation or other business combination would be with a Member or an
Affiliate of a Member, or would be for the sole purpose of changing the jurisdiction of the Company or its entity form), the
following shall be applied:

(A)
For a period of sixty (60) days after the end of such ninety (90) day period, Banfi shall have the right to sell to CyT, and
CyT has the right to purchase from Banfi, all of Banfi’s Units for the Deadlock Purchase Price. The “Deadlock
Purchase Price” is defined as an amount equal to Banfi’s Pro Rata Share of the product of (i) the average of
the EBITDA of the Company for the three most recent Fiscal Years, and (ii) seven (7). Within such sixty (60) days period,
either Member may deliver written notice to the other of its desire to exercise its rights under this section. If Banfi
delivers such a notice then CyT shall have an irrevocable obligation to purchase all of Banfi’s Units for the Deadlock
Purchase Price, and if CyT delivers such a notice then Banfi shall have an irrevocable obligation to sell to CyT all of
Banfi’s Units for the Deadlock Purchase Price. Failure of either Member to deliver such notice within such sixty (60)
day period shall mean that each Member irrevocably waives its rights under this Section 8.4(c)(iii) with regard to
such Deadlock. Any such purchase and sale shall be on an “as-is”, “where-is” basis, except that Banfi
shall transfer the Units to CyT free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any kind. The closing of any such purchase
shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after delivery of the first
such notice by one Member to the other, and (ii) five (5) days following expiration of any applicable waiting period under
the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Nothing herein shall require a Member to exercise its rights under
this Section 8.4(c)(iii).

(B)
If neither Member exercises its rights under this clause (iii) within the periods provided, then no action shall be taken
with respect to such Deadlock, and the Members shall continue their activities with respect to the Company, until and unless
another Deadlock emerges, at which time the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII shall again be applicable.

(iv)
with regard to all Deadlocks occurring after December 31, 2016, other than Business Plan Deadlocks and those addressed
in subsection (iii) above, no action shall be taken.

the event of any dispute or difference arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the breach or termination
thereof, the Members shall attempt to settle any dispute or difference between or among them amicably. To this end, the

implementation, interpretation or termination, shall be determined by arbitration administered by the International Centre
for Dispute Resolution (the “ICDR”) in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules (the
“Rules”), which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The number of
arbitrators shall be one, appointed by mutual consent of the Members. In case the Members disagree in relation to said
appointment for more than forty-five (45) days after the commencement of the arbitration, the sole arbitrator will be
appointed by the ICDR in accordance with the Rules. Any arbitrator so appointed by the ICDR will be of a nationality
different than that of any Member (the “Arbitrator”).

(b) The
place of arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware and the language of the arbitration shall be English. The recognition and
enforcement of any arbitral awards pursuant to this arbitration clause shall be governed by the Convention on the Recognition
and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York, 1958).

(c) The
Arbitrator shall provide written reasons for its final award and for any interim award and will not act as amiable
compositeur or ex aequo et bono. The costs shall be apportioned between the Members as the Arbitrator shall decide in
accordance with the Rules. The Members will keep the arbitral proceedings and awards confidential. The decision of the
Arbitrator will be final and may not be appealed.

(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Member may pursue provisional remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction venued in the courts of the
State of Delaware or the federal courts of the United States of America, in each case sitting in New Castle County, and each
Member irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for any such provisional remedy sought by
the other party from any such court. Each Member irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection
that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of such action or proceeding brought in such a court and any
claim that any such action or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Members
irrevocably consent to the service of process with respect to any such action or proceeding in the manner provided for the
giving of notices under Section 11.1, provided, the foregoing shall not affect the right of any Member to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law. The Members hereby agree that an order in any such action or proceeding may be
enforced in any jurisdiction in any manner provided by applicable law.

(other than a de minimis interest) as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Company
by an existing or a new Member acting in a “partner capacity,” or in anticipation of becoming a

(d)
The Adjusted Book Value of Company assets shall be increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the

adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m);

(b) the
deficit shall be increased by the items described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), and (6).

EXHIBIT A

EXCISE TAX GROSS UP

(a)           In the event that the Employee shall become entitled to payments and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the “nature of compensation” (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a change of ownership or effective control covered by Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) as a result of such change in ownership or effective control (collectively the “Company Payments”), and such Company Payments will be
subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (and any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority) the Company shall pay to the Employee at the time specified in subsection (d) below (x) an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the Employee, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Company Payments and any U.S. federal, state, and/or local income or payroll tax upon the Gross-up Payment provided for by this paragraph (a), but before deduction for any U.S. federal, state, and local income or payroll tax on the Company Payments, shall be equal to the Company Payments and (y) an amount equal to the product of any deductions disallowed for federal,
state or local income tax purposes because of the inclusion of the Gross-Up Payment in the Employee’s adjusted gross income multiplied by the highest applicable marginal rate of federal, state or local income taxation, respectively, for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made.

In the event that the Internal Revenue Service or court ultimately makes a determination that the excess parachute payments plus the base amount is an amount other than as determined initially, an appropriate adjustment shall be made with regard to the Gross-Up Payment, as applicable to reflect the final determination and the resulting impact on whether the preceding paragraph applies.

(b)           For purposes of determining whether any of the Company Payments and Gross-up Payments (collectively the “Total Payments”) will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (x) the Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the
extent that, in the opinion of the Company’s independent certified public accountants appointed prior to any change in ownership (as defined under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) or tax counsel selected by such accountants or the Company (the “Accountants”) such Total Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments,” including giving effect to the recalculation of stock options in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 33, represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the “base amount” or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (y) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Accountants
in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the Code.  To the extent permitted under Revenue Procedure 2003-68, the value determination shall be recalculated to the extent it would be beneficial to the Employee, at the request of the Employee.  In the event that the Accountants are serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Employee may appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the “Accountants” hereunder).  All determinations hereunder shall be made by the Accountants, which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Employee at such time as it is requested by the Company or the Employee.  If the Accountants determine that payments
under this Agreement must be reduced pursuant to this paragraph, they shall furnish the Employee with a written opinion to such effect.  The determination of the Accountants shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Employee.

 

10

  

  

  

(c)           For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay U.S. federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of U.S. federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Employee’s residence for the calendar year in which the Company Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in U.S. federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes if paid in such
year.  In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined by the Accountants to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made, the Employee shall repay to the Company, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the prior Gross-up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and U.S. federal, state and local income tax imposed on the portion of the Gross-up Payment being repaid by the Employee if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax or a U.S. federal, state and local income tax deduction), plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any portion of the Gross-up Payment to be
refunded to the Company has been paid to any U.S. federal, state and local tax authority, repayment thereof (and related amounts) shall not be required until actual refund or credit of such portion has been made to the Employee, and interest payable to the Company shall not exceed the interest received or credited to the Employee by such tax authority for the period it held such portion.  The Employee and the Company shall mutually agree upon the course of action to be pursued (and the method of allocating the expense thereof) if the Employee’s claim for refund or credit is denied.

In the event that the Excise Tax is later determined by the Accountant or the Internal Revenue Service to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-up Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest or penalties payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.

(d)           The Gross-up Payment or portion thereof provided for in subsection (c) above shall be paid not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following an event occurring which subjects the Employee to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such Gross-up Payment or portion thereof cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Accountant, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of
the Code), subject to further payments pursuant to subsection (c) hereof, as soon as the amount thereof can reasonably be determined, but in no event later than the ninetieth day after the occurrence of the event subjecting the Employee to the Excise Tax.  In the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to the Employee, payable on the fifth day after demand by the Company (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code).

(e)           In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) with regard to the Excise Tax, the Employee shall permit the Company to control issues related to the Excise Tax (at its expense), provided that such issues do not potentially materially adversely affect the Employee, but the Employee shall control any other issues.  In the event the issues are interrelated, the Employee and the Company shall in good faith cooperate so as not to jeopardize resolution of either issue, but if the parties cannot agree the Employee shall make the final determination
with regard to the issues.  In the event of any conference with any taxing authority as to the Excise Tax or associated income taxes, the Employee shall permit the representative of the Company to accompany the Employee, and the Employee and the Employee’s representative shall cooperate with the Company and its representative.

(f)           The Company shall be responsible for all charges of the Accountant.
