RECITALS
A.    Widmer was employed by the Company pursuant to a letter agreement dated May 26, 2010 (the "Employment Letter").
B.    Widmer voluntarily terminated his employment with the Company effective January 8, 2016 (the "Termination Date").
C.    The Company wishes to provide Widmer with a severance benefit in exchange for his agreement to refrain from becoming employed by or associated with any competitor.
AGREEMENT
The Company and Widmer agree as follows:
1.Widmer's voluntary termination of employment was not (A) a termination by the Company or (B) a "good reason" termination under the Employment Letter, and Widmer is not entitled to the severance and other benefits provided for in the Employment Letter.
2.Widmer's employment with the Company ended on the Termination Date.  The Company has paid or will pay Widmer all earned and unpaid wages and all unused Paid Time Off accrued through the Termination Date as provided in the Employment Letter.  The Company will accomplish this payment by mailing to Widmer a check for such amounts to the home address he has on record with the Company.  Widmer recognizes that the payment will be reduced by regular deductions and withholdings.
3.Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the covenant not to compete set forth in Paragraph 5 below, the Company will pay Widmer a severance benefit (“Severance”) as follows:
(A)     On April 1, 2016, $127,793.00;
(B)     On April 3, 2017, $64,400.00; and
(C)      On April 2, 2018, $64,400.00.
The Company will accomplish the payment of the Severance by mailing to Widmer a check for such amounts to the home address he has on record with the Company.  Widmer recognizes that the payment will be reduced by required deductions and withholdings.

1

4.    If Widmer fails to execute the Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A within 30 days following the Effective Date, all of Widmer's rights with respect to the Severance will be forfeited.
5.    Until the Severance has been fully paid, Widmer covenants and agrees to not become employed by or associated with (including without limitation as a shareholder, member, partner, director, officer, manager, investor, organizer, founder, employee, consultant, agent, or representative) a brewing or other company that the Company determines, in its reasonable discretion, is a competitor of the Company or Anheuser-Busch, LLC; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, competitors for purposes of this Agreement do not include wineries or distillers that do not also manufacture or sell malt beverages. In the event Widmer fails to comply with the foregoing covenant, as the sole remedy of the Company, Widmer's Severance will terminate as of the effective date of such employment or association. Widmer acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing noncompetition covenant is not subject to ORS 653.295 because it is not an agreement entered into between an employer and an employee. 
6.    If the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines, in its reasonable discretion, that Widmer has breached this Agreement in any way, violated any policies applicable to emeritus directors, or engaged in conduct that may reflect poorly on the Company’s reputation, Widmer's Severance will terminate as of the date of such determination.
7.    The Severance supersedes and is lieu of any other severance, bonus, incentive, or other compensation to which Widmer may be entitled, including, without limitation, under the Employment Letter.
8.    If the Company receives a reference request from a prospective employer of Widmer, the Company will respond consistent with its press releases regarding Widmer.  Widmer is permitted to seek references from individual employees of the Company.
9.    Widmer will make no negative or disparaging oral or written remarks or statements about the Company, its officers, directors, or employees, or its products to any person or entity, either publicly or privately, including, without limitation, on any social networking, blog, or similar Internet site.  Company will make no negative or disparaging oral or written remarks or statements about Widmer to any person or entity, either publicly or privately, including, without limitation, on any social networking, blog, or similar Internet site.
10.    Widmer acknowledges and reaffirms Widmer's continuing obligations under any Confidentiality Agreement that Widmer entered into in connection with Widmer's employment with the Company, and Widmer will strictly comply with the terms of such Confidentiality Agreement.

2

11.    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including without limitation Paragraph 10 above, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement.
12.    The parties acknowledge that the only consideration for this Agreement is the consideration expressly described herein, that each party fully understands the meaning and intent of this Agreement, and that this Agreement has been executed voluntarily.
13.    For purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A), each payment under this Agreement will be considered a "separate payment" and not one of a series of payments.  The Severance payment under Section 3(A) of this Agreement is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code by reason of being a "short-term deferral" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).  All provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with preserving this exemption.  All other payments of Severance under this Agreement are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and will be interpreted and administered consistently with the requirements of Section 409A, including regulations and other guidance issued thereunder.  As used in this Agreement, "termination of employment" and similar terms mean "separation from service" as defined and interpreted in Section 409A, Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h), or in subsequent regulations or other guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service.  Any payment made under this Agreement that is subject to Section 409A may not be accelerated or delayed except as specifically permitted under Section 409A.  In no event will Company be liable for any tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on Widmer under Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.
14.    If any litigation, suit, or proceeding is instituted to enforce, interpret, or rescind this ‎Agreement, or otherwise in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, ‎the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief ‎awarded, its attorneys’ fees and costs at trial, any appeal, collection of the award, ‎or the enforcement of any order.‎

Exhibit 10.2

OPTION AND 
AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE
THIS OPTION AND AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE (this "Agreement") is entered into as of January 8, 2016 (the "Effective Date"), by and between CRAFT BREW ALLIANCE, INC., a Washington corporation ("Owner"), and PABST NORTHWEST BREWING COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company dba Rainier Brewing Company ("PBC").
RECITALS
A.    Owner owns fee simple title to the real property described in attached Exhibit A, together with all improvements situated on such real property, and operates a commercial brewery and restaurant on such real property.  The real property and improvements, together with all other rights, hereditaments, and tenements appurtenant to the real property and improvements, are collectively referred to herein as the "Property."
B.    Owner owns certain assets and other rights described in attached Exhibit B associated with and used or useful in the operation of its commercial brewery and restaurant (the "Associated Assets").  The Property and the Associated Assets are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Brewery."
C.    PBC desires to acquire an option to purchase the Brewery from Owner and Owner has agreed to grant PBC an exclusive option to purchase the Brewery, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The parties therefore agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
		
	1.
	Option

		
	1.1
	Grant.  In consideration of and in connection with the parties' entry into and performance under an Alternating Proprietorship Agreement and Services Agreement, each between Owner and PBC and dated the same date as this Agreement, and any related agreements between Owner and PBC (such agreements, the "Brewing Agreements"), Owner grants to PBC the sole and exclusive option to purchase the Brewery (the "Option") in the manner and for the price stated in this Agreement.

		
	1.2
	Option Term.  The term of the Option (the "Term") begins immediately upon the Effective Date and the Option must be exercised, if at all, prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on December 31, 2018 (the "Expiration Date"), unless earlier terminated as provided in this Agreement. 

		
	1.3
	Exercise of Option.  The Option may be exercised, if at all, by written notice (the "Exercise Notice") delivered by PBC to Owner, stating that PBC has elected to exercise the Option.  The Exercise Notice may be delivered and the Option 

1

exercised at any time prior to the Expiration Date.  Upon exercise of the Option, PBC will be obligated to purchase the Brewery from Owner, and Owner will be obligated to sell the Brewery to PBC, for the price and in the manner described in this Agreement.
		
	1.4
	Failure to Exercise Option; Payment to Owner.  If PBC fails for any reason to exercise the Option during the Term or this Agreement is earlier terminated, PBC will have no further claim against or interest in the Brewery and will provide Owner with any instruments that Owner reasonably requests to remove from the public record any cloud on title to the Property or the Associated Assets that is attributable to the Option.  In addition, if the Option expires unexercised, or this Agreement earlier terminates under circumstances in which an Option Termination Fee (as hereinafter defined) is required to be paid under Section 9.2 below, PBC will pay to Owner, on or before January 31st of the year following such expiration or earlier termination, a termination fee calculated as follows (the "Option Termination Fee"):

		
	1.4.1
	If the average annual volume produced, sold, and shipped under the Brewing Agreements is less than *** bbls per year, the Option Termination Fee will be $***.

		
	1.4.2
	If the average annual volume produced, sold, and shipped under the Brewing Agreements is **** bbls per year or greater but less than *** bbls per year, the Option Termination Fee will be $***.

		
	1.4.3
	If the average annual volume that is produced, sold, and shipped under the Brewing Agreements is *** bbls per year or greater, the Option Termination Fee will be $***.

If the Option Termination Fee is due following a termination, average annual volume will be determined based on the average monthly volume for all completed months beginning with the first full month of production under the Brewing Agreements, multiplied by twelve.  For the avoidance of any doubt, any volume produced for PBC by Owner or any affiliate of Owner under a co-packing or similar arrangement shall be included as if produced under the Brewing Agreements.

	6.
	Covenants of Owner

Owner covenants and agrees as follows:
		
	6.1
	Information.  Owner will deliver to PBC, as PBC may reasonably request, copies of all documents related to the use or ownership of the Property or operations of the Brewery that Owner possesses or may obtain by reasonable inquiry and are reasonably related to the Brewery, the Associated Assets or the use or operation of the Brewery after the Closing, including without limitation leases relating to the Property (which current leases are listed in Section 6.1 of the Disclosure Schedule), all easements, covenants, or restrictions affecting title, any studies, surveys, or reports relating to the Property, all contracts pertaining and material to the Brewery or the Associated Assets, and other documents of a like nature, subject at all times to any confidentiality obligations to third parties or regulations of any Governmental Entity.

		
	6.2
	Access.  Without limiting any of PBC's rights under the Brewing Agreements, Owner grants to PBC and its agents the right to enter on the Property at any reasonable times prior to the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement upon reasonable advance notice to Owner for the purpose of conducting investigations, studies, or tests that PBC may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate in connection with its acquisition of the Brewery and as are permitted by the terms of this Agreement.  Owner will reasonably cooperate with PBC in its performance of such investigations, studies, or tests, provided that all costs and expenses of all such investigations, studies, or tests will be paid by PBC.  PBC will protect, defend, and hold Owner harmless from any actions, causes of action, claims, costs, damages, demands, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs), fines, liabilities, liens, losses, penalties, obligations and suits (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or related to PBC's activities on the Property, except as may arise out of the mere discovery of any adverse conditions (including without limitation, environmental conditions) at the Property.  If PBC fails to exercise the Option, PBC will fully compensate Owner for any physical damage to the Property or any lien, encumbrance, or charge on it attributable to PBC's activities under this paragraph, in addition to paying other amounts due under this Agreement.  If PBC fails to exercise the Option, PBC will deliver to Owner copies of any and all non-proprietary reports, studies, and drawings owned by PBC that relate to the Brewery.

10

		
	6.3
	Maintenance.  Prior to the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Owner will maintain the Brewery in such state of repair as is reasonably necessary for the normal operation of the Brewery, performance under the Brewing Agreements, and to maintain the Brewery substantially in its current operating condition as of the Effective Date, taken as  whole, including, as needed, replacement or repair in accordance with reasonably prudent business practices of any inoperable, worn out or obsolete assets included as part of the Brewery Equipment and Parts.

		
	6.4
	Ownership.

		
	6.4.1
	Property.  Prior to the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Owner will not (a) sell, contract to sell, assign, or otherwise transfer the Property or any material part thereof or interest therein, (b) grant an option to any third party to acquire all or any portion of the Property or interest therein, or (c) encumber the Property or grant any encumbrances that would result in additional title exceptions against the Property.

		
	6.4.2
	Associated Assets.  Prior to the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, unless PBC otherwise consents in writing (including by e-mail), Owner will not sell, assign, or otherwise transfer all or any material portion of the Associated Assets or any interest therein other than dispositions in the Ordinary Course.

		
	6.5
	Identification of Assets and Contracts; Assignment.  Not later than ten (10) days and not more than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, Owner shall prepare and deliver to PBC, a schedule setting forth in reasonable detail the Associated Assets to be acquired and the Transferred Brewery Contracts to be assigned to and assumed by PBC under this Agreement.  Such lists will be updated as of the Closing Date and included as exhibits to the Bill of Sale and the Assignment and Assumption of Contracts, respectively, to be delivered at the Closing.  Owner shall exclude from contracts included in the lists of Transferred Brewery Contracts any contract that PBC elects, by delivery of written notice to Owner at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date, to exclude; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing right of exclusion, PBC shall assume all contracts listed in Section 6.1 of the Disclosure Schedule continuing in effect as of the Closing Date and all contracts it has approved under Section 4.2.  To the extent that Owner's rights under any Transferred Brewery Contract being assigned by Owner may not be assigned to PBC without the consent of another person that has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof, and Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible.  If any such consent is not obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair any rights under a contract in question, Owner shall use reasonably efforts following the Closing to obtain for PBC the benefits thereunder.  Owner agrees to reasonably cooperate with PBC 

11

during PBC's due diligence review of the Brewery to determine whether any such consents will be needed and can be obtained. 
		
	6.6
	Approvals.  PBC may apply for and obtain any approvals or licenses of any Governmental Entity to use the Brewery consistent with its current use following the Closing, provided all such applications and related materials are first given to Owner for its approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Owner will reasonably cooperate with PBC in obtaining any such approvals.  Such cooperation includes signing all applications and other documents requested by PBC that may be reasonably related to such matters, as long as Owner approves the form and substance (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  All costs and expenses incurred with respect to such approvals (other than fines or penalties that may exist or relate to the period prior to the Effective Date) will be paid for by PBC.

		
	7.
	Additional Matters

		
	7.1
	Title.

		
	7.1.1
	Preliminary Review.  Owner has delivered to PBC a preliminary title report covering the Property (the "Preliminary Title Report"), accompanied by a list and supporting documentation for all exceptions to title referenced in the Title Report (the "Initial Exceptions").  PBC will identify in a written notice to Owner (the "Initial Notice") within 45 days of the Effective Date, those of the Initial Exceptions that PBC will request that Owner remove of record at or before Closing (the "Unacceptable Exceptions").  Each of the Initial Exceptions not identified by PBC in the list of Unacceptable Exceptions will be deemed to have been accepted by PBC.  If PBC fails timely to provide Owner the Initial Notice, then PBC will be deemed to have approved the Preliminary Title Report in full.  Owner has ten (10) days following receipt of the Initial Notice to give written notice ("Reply Notice") to PBC of any Unacceptable Exceptions that Owner concludes, in good faith, that Owner cannot or will not remove at or before the Closing.  Owner agrees to remove at Closing all Unacceptable Exceptions not referenced in a duly given Reply Notice.  If one or more of the Unacceptable Exceptions cannot or will not be removed at or before Closing and Owner so states in a duly given Reply Notice (or if Owner fails to timely respond with a Reply Notice) (such exceptions, the "Identified Exceptions"), then PBC may by giving written notice to Owner within ten (10) days of receipt of a Reply Notice terminate this Agreement (in which case the Brewing Agreements will also terminate), and PBC will not be required to pay the Option Termination Fee in connection with any such termination.  If PBC does not exercise its right to terminate, all Identified Exceptions will be permanently removed from the list of Unacceptable Exceptions for purposes of the Closing and PBC will be deemed to have actual knowledge of all of the Initial 

12

Exceptions for purposes of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of this Agreement. 
		
	7.1.2
	Updated Title Report.  Within 30 days following the receipt of an Exercise Notice, Owner will in preparation for Closing deliver to PBC, at Owner's expense, a preliminary title report covering the Property (the "Closing Title Report"), accompanied by legible copies of all exceptions to title referenced in the Closing Title Report that were not included in the Initial Exceptions (the "Closing Exceptions").  Within 15 days of receiving the Closing Title Report, PBC will give written notice (the "Closing Notice") to Owner of any Closing Exceptions that PBC desires to add to the Unacceptable Exceptions and have removed prior to Closing that are not Permitted Exceptions under Section 7.1.4(b).  If PBC fails timely to give Owner the Closing Notice and to the extent that a Closing Exception is not identified by PBC in the Closing Notice, PBC will be deemed to have approved the Closing Title Report, subject only to any Unacceptable Exceptions, if any, that remain.  If PBC gives a timely Closing Notice, Owner will have 15 days following receipt of the Closing Notice to provide written notice of objection (a "Closing Reply Notice"); otherwise exceptions therein will be deemed to have been added to the Unacceptable Exceptions.  If one or more of the Unacceptable Exceptions cannot or will not be removed at or before Closing and Owner so states in a duly given Closing Reply Notice, then Section 9.1.2 below will apply.

		
	7.1.3
	Removal of Certain Title Exceptions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Owner shall be obligated to remove, at or before Closing, (i) any exceptions to title that are security for the payment of a sum of money to repay amounts borrowed or expenses incurred by Owner (including mortgages, deeds of trust, tax liens, or contractor's liens, if any), (ii) taxes and assessments due and payable for any period prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) any exceptions to title that arise after the date of the Preliminary Title Report that Owner agrees to remove in accordance with Section 7.1.2.

		
	7.1.4
	Permitted Exceptions.  "Permitted Exceptions" include (a) all exceptions to which PBC agrees or is deemed to have agreed in accordance with this Section 7.1, (b) all exceptions not included in the Initial Exceptions that arise after the date of the Preliminary Title Report and are not material to the ownership or use of the Brewery following the Closing or are otherwise not identified in the Closing Notice as Unacceptable Exceptions by PBC, and (c) all exceptions that PBC otherwise agrees in writing to waive.

13

		
	7.2
	Environmental Diligence.  

		
	7.2.1
	Initial Review.  For a period of 60 days after the Effective Date (subject to extension for an additional 30 days if PBC's environmental consultant recommends the conduct of a Phase II investigation), PBC shall have the right to conduct and have completed an environmental review (the "Environmental Review") of the Property and the operations of the Brewery.  The Environmental Review may include a historical review of the use of the Property, review of all regulatory agency permits and compliance and enforcement files and records, and such other studies as PBC may deem appropriate and consistent with an ASTM Phase I environmental site assessment of the Property and evaluation for ACM, lead-based paint and mold (including sampling related thereto).  PBC shall not conduct soil tests or take core samples or water table samples by drilling conducted on the Property, unless recommended in writing by the environmental consultant engaged by PBC based on findings of an ASTM Phase I environmental site assessment, and then all tests and studies will be conducted by agents selected by PBC and performed as PBC directs, subject to the approval of Owner, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  PBC will pay the cost of all reviews, tests, and studies undertaken.  If PBC is not satisfied with such environmental Review, PBC may by giving written notice to Owner within ten (10) days of the end of the period for the Environmental Review (including any extension thereof) terminate this Agreement (in which case the Brewing Agreements will also terminate), and PBC will not be required to pay the Option Termination Fee in connection with any such termination.  If PBC does not exercise its right to terminate, all conditions described in reports provided to PBC in connection with its Environmental Review (a copy of which will be provided to Owner) will be deemed to have been accepted by PBC, and PBC will be deemed to have actual knowledge of all such matters for purposes of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of this Agreement.

		
	7.2.2
	Updated Review.  For a period of 60 days after the delivery of the Exercise Notice, PBC shall have the right to conduct and have completed an additional Environmental Review (the "Updated Environmental Review") of the Property and the operations of the Brewery consistent with the initial Environmental Review.  PBC will pay the cost of all reviews, tests, and studies undertaken.  If PBC reasonably determines in good faith following its Updated Environmental Review that one or more conditions affect the Property that had not been previously identified in connection with the Environmental Review and have arisen after the date thereof (the "Identified Environmental Conditions") and the presence of such Identified Environmental Conditions would cause Owner to be in breach of its representations under Section 4.5, then PBC may, by giving written notice to Owner within ten (10) days of the close of the Updated 

14

Environmental Review period, request that Owner take remedial action with respect to one or more of the Identified Environmental Conditions and Section 9.1.1 will apply.  Owner shall be required to take all reasonably required actions to remediate any Identified Environmental Condition caused by Owner.  If Owner fails or declines to take remedial action or otherwise avail itself of cures available to it under Section 9.1.1 and such Identified Environmental Conditions are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the value or operation of the Brewery following the Closing, then PBC may upon written notice to Owner within ten (10) days of such failure or decline or the completion of the remedial period without remediation, terminate this Agreement, in which case PBC will not be required to pay the Option Termination Fee.
		
	8.
	Conditions Precedent to Closing

In addition to any other conditions contained in this Agreement, set forth below are certain conditions precedent to Closing for the benefit of PBC (the "Conditions").
		
	8.1
	Title Insurance.  On the Closing Date, the Title Company (as defined in Section 3.1) will be ready, willing, and able to issue, and will issue to PBC on or promptly following recordation of the Deed, the Owner's Policy required by Section 3.5.

		
	8.2
	Representations and Warranties; Performance.  All of Owner's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects and all material covenants of Owner under this Agreement shall have been duly performed in all material respects as of the Closing.  A failure of a representation and warranty by Owner to be true and correct and a failure to perform a covenant will be deemed to be material if such failure is reasonably likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect on the value or operation of the Brewery following the Closing.

		
	9.
	Remedies

		
	9.1
	PBC.

		
	9.1.1
	Breach.  If Owner is in breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement in any material respect, and regardless of whether the breach occurs before or after PBC notifies Owner of the exercise of the Option, and such breach is (i) not cured within 30 days of notice thereof (unless a longer period is reasonably needed for such cure in which event Owner shall have such longer period (but not in excess of 90 days (or 120 days, in the event of an environmental remediation (and Owner shall be required to take all reasonably required actions to remediate any Identified Environmental Condition caused by Owner)) so long as Owner is diligently pursuing such cure to completion) or (ii) is not susceptible to cure, then PBC, may, subject to its rights under 

15

Section 9.1.3 in the event of a failure of a condition giving rise to a Material Adverse Effect, but as its exclusive remedy and in lieu of any other relief, either (a) upon written notice to Owner specifying in reasonable detail the grounds for termination, terminate this Agreement without payment of the Option Termination Fee and, in the event such breach is intentional or arises out of facts or circumstances within Owner's reasonable control, receive reimbursement of PBC's actual, out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement not to exceed $50,000 (the "PBC Expense Reimbursement"), or (b) specifically enforce all obligations of Owner under this Agreement; provided that, Owner may in lieu of any cure elect by written notice to PBC within 30 days after receipt of PBC's default notice elect to remedy such breach by granting PBC a reduction in the Purchase Price equal to the lesser of the costs to remedy such breach or the diminution in value of the Brewery resulting from such breach.  The parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 15 days after Owner's notice of such election to agree upon the amount of such reduction.  If the parties are unable to agree, they shall submit the matter to binding arbitration to be held before a single arbitrator in Seattle, Washington in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Except for any specific remedies reserved elsewhere in this Agreement, PBC expressly waives the right to pursue any other remedy in law or equity against Owner in connection with a breach of this Agreement by Owner.
		
	9.1.2
	Title.  If one or more of the Unacceptable Exceptions will not be removed at or before Closing such that the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.1 will not be satisfied, then PBC may exercise any of the following rights:  (a) PBC may accept title to the Property subject to the Unacceptable Exceptions and receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any Unacceptable Exceptions which may be cured, discharged or removed with the payment of money; or (b) PBC may attempt to cure the Unacceptable Exceptions or any of them at no cost to Owner (with Owner being obligated to cooperate with the cure efforts and to join in the execution of any curative instruments that will operate to remove the Unacceptable Exceptions); or (c) PBC may, if (i) one or more of the Unacceptable Exceptions has arisen after the date of the Preliminary Title Report and PBC determines in good faith such exception or exceptions are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the value or operation of the Brewery following the Closing or (ii) such Unacceptable Exceptions are among the exceptions that Owner has agreed or been deemed to have agreed to remove prior to Closing, upon written notice to Owner specifying in reasonable detail the grounds for termination, terminate this Agreement (including any exercise of the Option), in which case the Option Termination Fee will not be payable, PBC shall be entitled to the PBC Expense Reimbursement, and neither party will have any further liability to the other under this Agreement. 

16

		
	9.1.3
	Failure of a Condition Precedent.  If the condition to PBC's obligations under this Agreement in Section 8.2 is not satisfied as of a proposed Closing Date and PBC does not waive such condition or conditions and PBC determines in good faith that such non-satisfaction is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the value or operation of the Brewery following the Closing, then PBC shall give written notice to Owner and Owner shall have 30 days to remedy such unsatisfied condition to PBC's reasonable satisfaction (unless a longer period is reasonably needed for such satisfaction in which event Owner shall have such longer period (but not in excess of 90 days) so long as Owner is diligently pursuing completion), provided that if such failure of a condition to be satisfied arises out of a Title or Environmental condition, the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 9.1.2 or Section 7.2, respectively, shall apply.  In the event of owner's failure to so remedy such condition, PBC, as its exclusive remedy and in lieu of any other relief, may upon written notice to Owner, terminate this Agreement (including any exercise of the Option) without payment of the Option Termination Fee and, in the event such breach is intentional or arises out of facts or circumstances within Owner's reasonable control, receive the PBC Expense Reimbursement.  Except for any specific remedies reserved elsewhere in this Agreement, PBC expressly waives the right to pursue any other remedy in law or equity against Owner in connection with a failure of a condition set forth in this Agreement.

		
	9.2
	Owner.

		
	9.2.1
	Breach.  If PBC breaches any term or provision of this Agreement in any material respect, and regardless of whether the breach occurs before or after PBC notifies Owner of the exercise of the Option, and such breach is not cured within 15 days of notice thereof (unless a longer period is reasonably needed for such cure in which event PBC shall have such longer period (but not in excess of 45 days) so long as PBC commences such cure within such 15 days and such cure is diligently prosecuted to completion thereafter), then Owner, as its exclusive remedy and in lieu of any other relief, will be entitled to terminate this Agreement by giving PBC written notice of termination, and in such event Owner will be entitled to receive the Option Termination Fee, and neither party will have any further liability to the other under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Owner's sole remedy for any breach of this Agreement by PBC shall be payment of the Option Termination Fee as and to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement, provided, that in any case where Owner is entitled to the Option Termination Fee, the payment of such Option Termination Fee and retention thereof by Owner shall be Owner's exclusive remedy and shall apply in lieu of any other relief or remedy.  Accordingly, the parties agree in all such events the Option Termination Fee shall constitute liquidated damages, it being 

17

acknowledged and agreed by the parties that (a) Owner's actual damages in such event would be extremely difficult or impracticable to ascertain and that the Option Termination Fee represents a reasonable estimate thereof amount of the deposit plus any interest accrued thereon represents the parties' reasonable estimate of such damages, and (b) the payment of such amount as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty but as enforceable liquidated damages under applicable law.
		
	9.2.2
	Termination of the APA and the Services Agreement.  In the event the Brewing Agreements terminate as a result of a breach by PBC that continues beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Owner may upon 60 days prior written notice to PBC terminate this Agreement by delivering to PBC and the Title Company written notice of termination, and in the event that PBC does not exercise the Option during the 60‐day notice period, Owner shall be entitled to be paid the Option Termination Fee.  In all other events, the termination of the Brewing Agreements shall not terminate this Agreement and the right of PBC to exercise the Option in accordance herewith shall remain in full force and effect.

		
	9.3
	Other Remedies; Limitations.  The limitations on remedies set forth in this section do not apply to any Claim accruing after Closing or preclude either party from seeking injunctive relief or from seeking recovery against the other for causing physical damage or injury to persons or property or failing to satisfy a payment or indemnity obligation of such party under the terms of this Agreement.  Neither party shall have any liability for the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder of which the other party hereto had actual knowledge as of the date such representation or warranty is given, and no party will have liability to the other for a Claim accruing after Closing arising out of a breach of a representation or warranty in, or covenant contained in Section 6 of, this Agreement absent a willful breach of this Agreement by such party.

		
	9.4
	Adequacy.  The parties each acknowledge (a) the adequacy of the remedies set forth in this Agreement and (b) that the foregoing limitation of remedies is an essential part of this Agreement.

		
	9.5
	Control of Claims.  In connection with any third-party claim for which a party (such party, an "Indemnified Party") is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall provide prompt written notice of such claim promptly following receipt thereof and tender defense to the party to provide such indemnification (such party, the "Indemnifying Party"), and the Indemnifying Party may elect to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not compromise or settle the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume and commit to undertake such defense of the Indemnified Party within 15 days after 

18

notice of a third party claim, the Indemnified Party may elect to assume control of such defense and retain counsel therefor and be entitled to recover fees and expense to the extent provided in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party disputes that any such matter is properly subject to an obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify and defend hereunder, the parties shall submit the issue of entitlement to indemnification to binding arbitration to be held before a single arbitrator in Seattle, Washington in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
		
	10.
	Risk of Loss; Possession

		
	10.1
	Risk of Loss.  Owner bears the risk of all loss or damage to the Brewery from all causes, through the Closing Date.  If, before the Closing Date, and regardless of whether the Exercise Notice has yet been given or is subsequently given, all or any material part of the Brewery is rendered inoperable by fire or by any other cause of any nature or if all or any material portion of the Brewery is taken by condemnation, or if any such condemnation proceeding is filed, Owner must give PBC written notice of such event.  If such casualty or condemnation (a) affects 20% or more of the area, or (b) reduces the value of the Brewery by $3,500,000 or more, PBC may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Owner within 45 days after receipt by PBC of written notice from Owner of such qualifying casualty or condemnation.  If PBC does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement will continue in force and, if PBC exercises the Option and the Brewery is conveyed to PBC, then all interest of Owner in and to any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards that may remain payable to Owner on account of the casualty or condemnation will be assigned to PBC at Closing and PBC shall be entitled to a reduction in the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible or uninsured loss.

		
	10.2
	Owner's Right to Restore.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if PBC timely and properly exercises an option to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10, Owner has the option to restore the Brewery to substantially its condition immediately prior to the casualty, which option may be exercised by giving written notice to Buyer within ten (10) days after PBC's exercise of its option to terminate.  If Owner exercises its option to restore, then PBC's exercise of the termination option shall be nullified.  If such damage has not been substantially restored prior to a scheduled Closing Date but Owner is diligently proceeding to restore, then Owner will diligently complete the repair after the Closing, provided, however, that PBC has the right to delay the Closing until restoration is substantially completed (but in no event in excess of 120 days after the damage).

		
	10.3
	Possession.  PBC will be entitled to exclusive possession of the Property on and after the Closing Date, provided that Owner shall be given a reasonable opportunity to remove all assets included on the Property that are not included within the Associated Assets.

19

		
	11.
	Recording

On the Effective Date, Owner will execute, acknowledge, and deliver to PBC a memorandum of option in the form attached as Exhibit D (the "Memorandum"), which Memorandum may be recorded by or on behalf of PBC at its expense.  If PBC fails to exercise the Option before the Expiration Date, PBC will execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Owner a PBC quitclaim deed releasing any interest in the Property.
		
	12.
	Brewery Employees; Allocation of Responsibilities

Owner will be solely responsible for the employment of all employees of the Brewery through the Closing Date.  As such, Owner shall be solely responsible, and PBC shall have no obligations whatsoever, for any compensation or other amounts payable to any employee (or former employee) of Owner, including, without limitation, salary, pension or profit sharing benefits, or severance pay payable to any employee (or former employee) of Owner for any period relating to service with Owner prior to the Closing Date and Owner shall pay all such amounts to all entitled employees as required by law.  Owner shall remain solely responsible for the satisfaction of all Claims for medical, dental, life insurance, health accident, or disability benefits brought by or in respect of employees (or former employees) of Owner relating to events occurring prior to the Closing Date, and for all worker's compensation Claims that relate to events occurring prior to the Closing Date.  PBC may offer employment to any or all employees terminated by Owner in connection with the Closing at its discretion, and will be solely responsible for all aspects of the employment of employees of the Brewery so employed by PBC after the Closing Date.  Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold PBC harmless from and against any and all Claims which are the responsibility of Owner under this Section 12, and PBC shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Owner from and against any and all Claims that are the responsibility of PBC under this Section 12.
		
	13.
	Survival

The warranties, representations and covenants of Owner and of PBC contained in this Agreement shall survive for a period of one year after the Closing Date and shall terminate on such date except to the extent that any Claims in respect of a breach of any such representation or warranty is made on or before such date, in which case such representation or warranty shall survive until the resolution of such Claim, provided that any covenant that expressly provides for a longer term of effectiveness shall continue in effect for such express longer term.
		
	14.
	Waiver

Failure by Owner or PBC to enforce any right under this Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of that right or of any other right.
		
	15.
	Successors and Assigns

Subject to the limitations on Owner's right to convey the Brewery set forth elsewhere herein, the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Agreement are binding on and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, and assigns of Owner and PBC.  Neither party may 

20

assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that (a) PBC may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate, (b) an initial public offering of stock or equity interests in PBC shall not be deemed a transfer or assignment for the purposes hereof, and (c) PBC may not assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a non-Affiliate without the prior written consent of Owner, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Owner.  A transaction or series of related transactions in which 50% or more of the voting control in PBC is sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred to a non-Affiliate will be deemed to be an assignment by PBC.  No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.   For purposes of this Agreement, "Affiliate" means with respect to any particular person, any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such person, whether by ownership or control of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. 
		
	16.
	Allocation of Purchase Price; Tax Treatment

The parties agree to allocate the purchase price and all other capitalizable costs among the assets purchased hereunder for all purposes (including accounting and tax) in accordance with an allocation schedule to be agreed after exercise of the Option.  A draft of the allocation schedule shall be prepared by PBC and delivered to Owner not less than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date.  If Owner notifies PBC in writing that Owner reasonably objects to one or more items reflected in the allocation schedule, the parties shall attempt to resolve such dispute through good faith negotiations; provided, however, that any unresolved dispute shall be resolved by independent accountants practicing in the Seattle, Washington area with industry experience to be engaged for that purpose and agreed to by the parties.  The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be shared equally.  Owner and PBC will each report, act and file state and federal tax returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation.
		
	17.
