 ARTICLE II

  
 PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS 
  
 2.1 Transfer of Purchased Assets. (a) Upon the terms and subject
to the conditions contained herein, at the Closing and effective as of the Effective Time, Seller shall sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver, or cause to be sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered, to Buyer, all of Seller’s
and Seller’s Affiliates rights, title and interest in and to each of the Purchased Assets as of the Effective Time, free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances, and Buyer shall purchase the Purchased Assets and assume
the Assumed Liabilities. 
  
 (b) To the extent any Purchased Asset
is owned by any Affiliate of Seller, at the Closing, Seller shall cause such Affiliate to join in the conveyance, transfer, assignment and delivery of such Purchased Asset to Buyer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 2.2 Excluded Assets. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Seller is not selling, conveying, transferring, assigning or delivering to Buyer any assets, properties or rights of Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates that is not a Purchased Asset (an “Excluded Asset”), including the
following assets, properties and rights of Seller and its Affiliates: 
  
 (a) cash, including bank balances and bank accounts, cash equivalents and similar type items on hand in the Business at the Effective Time; and 
  
 (b) all Seller’s Accounts Receivable. 
  
 2.3 Assumption of Liabilities. (a) At the Closing and effective as of the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
contained herein, Buyer shall assume all of the following Liabilities of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates to the extent related to the Purchased Assets or the Business (“Assumed Liabilities”): 
  
 (i) all Liabilities of Seller and its Affiliates arising under the Assumed
Contracts, to the extent relating to performance of the Assumed Contracts from and after the Effective Time; 
  
 (ii) all Liabilities of Seller and its Affiliates in respect of Taxes for which Buyer is liable pursuant to Section 2.12; 
  
 (iii) all Liabilities of Seller and its Affiliates in respect of Trade
Programs for which Buyer is liable pursuant to Section 2.9; 
  

 12 

 (iv) all Liabilities of Seller and its Affiliates in respect of product returns, charge-backs, over,
short and damage claims, fines and fees, product recalls and proration items for which Buyer is liable pursuant to Sections 2.8, 2.10 and 2.11; and 
  
 (v) all Liabilities of Seller and its Affiliates that are expressly allocated to Buyer in this Agreement or the Ancillary
Agreements. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, (i) Buyer is assuming only the Assumed Liabilities and is not assuming any Excluded Liability, (ii) Buyer’s assumption of any Assumed Contract that is in the nature of a Collective Bargaining Agreement or
employment agreement shall be subject to the limitations contained in Section 9.2, and (iii) with respect to the ConAgra Trademark License Agreement, Buyer shall assume all duties and obligations of Henkel KGaA thereunder, including
all duties and obligations of Henkel KGaA thereunder relating to periods prior to the Effective Time, provided that, as between Buyer and Henkel KGaA, Buyer shall be responsible for all Liabilities arising thereunder only to the extent such
Liabilities relate to the periods from and after the Effective Time and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be responsible for royalties payable thereunder only to the extent such royalties relate to periods from and after
the Effective Time and, with respect to payment of any royalties payable thereunder after the Closing and that are the responsibility of Seller in accordance with the terms of this sentence, Seller shall cause the amount of such royalties to be paid
to Buyer no later than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date on which such amount is due and payable to the licensor under the ConAgra Trademark License Agreement, and Buyer shall tender Seller’s portion of such royalties to the
licensor on or prior to the date such amount is due and payable to the licensor and notify Seller when such payment has been made to the licensor. From and after the Effective Time, Seller shall remain liable for all Excluded Liabilities.

  
 2.4 Purchase Price. (a) At the Closing, in
consideration of the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall (i) pay or cause to be paid to Seller an aggregate amount equal to One Hundred Eighty Three Million Dollars ($183,000,000) (the
“Base Purchase Price”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller, and (ii) assume the Assumed Liabilities. 
  
 (b) Within sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a tax allocation of the
Purchase Price (and the Assumed Liabilities, if any, that constitute debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes) among the Purchased Assets that complies with Section 1060 of the Code. If Buyer does not deliver to Seller a written objection to
such allocation within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery thereof to Buyer, then such allocation shall govern. If Buyer delivers a written objection to Seller to such allocation within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the
allocation to Buyer, then Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to reach agreement upon such allocation. If the allocation is not agreed upon during the thirty (30) calendar day period after Buyer’s written objection
is delivered to Seller or within a mutually agreed-to extended time period, Buyer and Seller agree that the allocation shall be based upon an asset valuation supplied by an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing to be mutually
agreed upon by Buyer and Seller. Seller and Buyer shall act in accordance with such allocation in the filing of all income tax returns (including filing Form 8594 with their Federal income tax return for the taxable year that includes the date

  

 13 

 of the Closing) and in the course of any tax audit, tax review or tax litigation relating thereto, except as otherwise
required by a determination, as defined in Section 1313 of the Code. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller. 
  
 2.5 Inventory Adjustment. 
  
 (a) Within ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a “Statement of Change in Inventory Value” from
December 31, 2005 to the Effective Time in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. In addition, at such time Seller shall deliver to Buyer a procedures report from KPMG, L.L.P. setting forth its findings with regard to the performance of
the agreed upon procedures as set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto in respect of Seller’s calculation and value, as of the Effective Time, of all Inventory included in the Purchased Assets prepared as described herein (the
“Statement of Inventory Value”). Buyer and an accounting firm selected by Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, shall have the right to be present to observe the taking of any physical inventory in conjunction with the preparation of
Seller’s calculation of the Statement of Inventory Value and may review and examine the procedures, books, records and work papers used in its preparation. The Statement of Inventory Value shall reflect the value (net of any reserve relating
thereto) of all Inventory included in the Purchased Assets in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied since December 31, 2005, as of the Effective Time and that conforms with the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 4.18, with such determination reflecting (i) an accounting adjustment derived from a physical count of such Inventory and a qualitative inspection of such Inventory, each conducted by Seller, and (ii) the accounting
adjustments derived from the Books and Records that reflect changes in such Inventory during the period from the Effective Time to the date of such physical count and qualitative inspection. In determining the value of such Inventory, all reserves
relating thereto (other than a valuation reserve relating to accurately stating such valuation on a first in, first out basis) as reflected in the Financial Statements shall not be reduced or otherwise decreased. 
  
 (b) Unless Buyer, within forty-five (45) calendar days after receipt of
the Statement of Inventory Value, delivers a written notice to Seller that it objects to the computation contained therein, specifying the basis for such objection and setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the value of such Inventory as of the
Effective Time (an “Objection Notice”), Seller’s calculation of such Inventory shall be binding upon the parties. The computation of the Statement of Inventory Value shall not be disputed as to accounting principles so long as
the principles and procedures used to compute it are in accordance with GAAP and Section 2.5(a). The delivery to Buyer of the audited financial statements pursuant to Section 6.3(c) and the use thereof in any filing made by
Buyer pursuant to applicable securities laws shall in no way prejudice Buyer’s right to assert an objection to Seller’s calculation pursuant to an Objection Notice. If Buyer timely delivers an Objection Notice to Seller, then Buyer and
Seller shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the objections presented in the Objection Notice, for a period of thirty (30) calendar days from the date of delivery of the Objection Notice. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree upon the
calculation of a Statement of Inventory Value within such thirty (30) calendar day period or within a mutually agreed-to extended time period, the dispute shall be referred to Ernst & Young for a final determination thereof, or such
other recognized firm of independent certified public accountants selected by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller; provided, however, that if Buyer and Seller are unable to so agree within five (5) calendar days after
Ernst & Young informs either Buyer or Seller of its unwillingness to so serve (the “Decline  
  

 14 

 Date”), then within ten (10) calendar days after the Decline Date, each of Buyer and Seller shall select
an office of an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing and such two firms shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Decline Date, then select a third independent accounting firm of recognized national standing to
resolve the dispute (such selected accountants, the “Settlement Accountants”). Buyer and Seller will enter into reasonable and customary arrangements for the services to be rendered by the Settlement Accountants under this
Section 2.5. The determination of the dispute by the Settlement Accountants shall be final, binding and conclusive and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment. Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Settlement Accountants to reach a determination as promptly as practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days from the date that the dispute is submitted to it), and the Settlement Accountants shall limit
their review only to the dispute submitted to it. The Settlement Accountants shall only assign a value to such Inventory as of the Effective Time that is within the range for the value of such Inventory defined by the value of such Inventory set
forth in the Statement of Inventory Value delivered by Seller and the value of such Inventory set forth in the Objection Notice. Buyer and Seller shall each furnish the Settlement Accountants such workpapers and other documents and information
relating to the dispute, and shall provide interviews and answer questions, as the Settlement Accountants may reasonably request. Each party shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.5;
provided, however, that Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall each pay one half of the fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountants. 
  
 (c) The Base Purchase Price shall be either increased by the amount by which the final “Inventory Valuation as of
Effective Time” as set forth in the “Statement of Change in Inventory Value” exceeds Thirty Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($34,500,000) or decreased by the amount by which the value of such Inventory is less than Thirty
Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($34,500,000). 
  
 (d)
Any Base Purchase Price adjustment payment as finally determined or agreed upon under Sections 2.5(b) and 2.5(c) shall be payable promptly upon request in accordance with the instructions of the appropriate recipient, together with
interest thereon for each day from and including the Closing Date to the date of such payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate on the Closing Date. 
  
 2.6 Adjustment Based on Adjusted Product Contribution Amount. 
  
 (a) Unless Buyer, within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of the
Statement of Adjusted Product Contribution Amount, delivers a written notice to Seller that it objects to the computation of the Adjusted Product Contribution Amount contained therein, specifying the basis for such objection (a “PC Objection
Notice”), the calculation of the Adjusted Product Contribution Amount, as delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.3(d), shall be final and binding upon the parties. A PC Objection Notice may not be based upon an objection to
the calculation of the Base Product Contribution Amount but rather may only be based upon the reconciliation and calculation of the Adjusted Product Contribution Amount. If Buyer timely delivers a PC Objection Notice to Seller, then Buyer and Seller
shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the objections presented in the PC Objection Notice, for a period of ten (10) calendar days from the date of delivery of the PC Objection Notice. If Buyer and Seller are unable to 
  

 15 

 agree upon the calculation of the Adjusted Product Contribution Amount within such ten (10) calendar day period or
within a mutually agreed-to extended time period, the dispute shall be referred to Ernst & Young for a final determination thereof, or such other recognized firm of independent certified public accountants selected by mutual agreement of
Buyer and Seller; provided, however, that if Buyer and Seller are unable to so agree within five (5) calendar days after Ernst & Young informs either Buyer or Seller of its unwillingness to so serve (the “PC
Decline Date”), then within ten (10) calendar days after the PC Decline Date, each of Buyer and Seller shall select an office of an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing and such two firms shall, within fifteen
(15) calendar days after the PC Decline Date, then select a third independent accounting firm of recognized national standing to resolve the dispute (such selected accountants, the “PC Settlement Accountants”). Buyer and Seller
will enter into reasonable and customary arrangements for the services to be rendered by the PC Settlement Accountants under this Section 2.6(a). The determination of the dispute and the resulting Adjusted Product Contribution Amount by
the PC Settlement Accountants shall be final, binding and conclusive and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment. Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the PC Settlement Accountants to reach a
determination as promptly as practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days from the date that the dispute is submitted to it), and the PC Settlement Accountants shall limit their review only to the dispute submitted to it.
Buyer and Seller shall each furnish the PC Settlement Accountants such workpapers and other documents and information relating to the dispute, and shall provide interviews and answer questions, as the PC Settlement Accountants may reasonably
request. Each party shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.6(a); provided, however, that Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall each pay one half of the fees
and expenses of the PC Settlement Accountants. 
  
 (b) If the
Adjusted Product Contribution Amount as finally determined hereunder is less than the Target Product Contribution Amount by an amount greater than the Adjustment Threshold, then the Base Purchase Price shall be decreased on a post-Closing basis by
an amount equal to the product of (i) the Product Contribution Shortfall Amount multiplied by (ii) the Purchase Price Multiple (the Base Purchase Price, as increased or decreased pursuant to Section 2.5(c), and as decreased
pursuant to this Section 2.6 (if any such decrease is required), is referred to herein as the “Final Purchase Price”). Any Base Purchase Price adjustment payment required under this Section 2.6 shall be
payable promptly upon request in accordance with Buyer’s instructions, together with interest thereon for each day from and including the Closing Date to the date of such payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate on the Closing
Date. 
  
 2.7 Accounts Receivable. Seller shall be entitled
to the collection and receipt of all Accounts Receivable in respect of goods and products Shipped or services rendered prior to the Effective Time (“Seller’s Accounts Receivable”). Buyer shall be entitled to the collection and
receipt of all Accounts Receivable in respect of goods and products Shipped or services rendered on or after the Effective Time (“Buyer’s Accounts Receivable”). Except as contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement, Buyer
shall be entitled, after the Closing, to direct all trade debtors to make payment on all of Buyer’s Accounts Receivable at a specified address and/or account, and to the extent that either Buyer or Seller receives payment of Accounts Receivable
owned by the other party, Buyer and Seller agree to promptly (within ten (10) calendar days) remit the proceeds to the designated bank account of Seller or Buyer, as appropriate, and Seller 
  

 16 

 and Buyer shall otherwise cooperate in good faith in order to ensure that Seller receives payment of Seller’s
Accounts Receivable and that Buyer receives payment of Buyer’s Accounts Receivable. Any payments received from a Person that reference a specific invoice delivered to such Person shall be applied to such invoice. Any payments received from a
Person that do not reference a specific invoice delivered to such Person shall be applied to the most current invoice delivered to such Person. 
  
 2.8 Product Returns, Charge-backs, Etc. Seller shall have responsibility for Liabilities related to all returns, charge-backs, over, short and
damage claims, and fines and fees with respect to Purchased Products Shipped prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that for Purchased Products charged back through reclamation (whether Shipped before or after the Effective Time), Seller
shall only be responsible for such Liabilities for a period of ninety (90) days after the Effective Time). Buyer shall have responsibility for Liabilities related to all returns, charge-backs, over, short and damage claims, and fines and fees
with respect to Purchased Products Shipped on or after the Effective Time, including all Purchased Products charged back through reclamation (whether Shipped before or after the Effective Time) commencing after a period of ninety (90) days
following the Effective Time, except to the extent that any such Liabilities arise from a breach of this Agreement by Seller and as to which a claim for indemnification may be asserted under Section 10.2(a), in which case Seller shall be
responsible for such Liabilities. No party hereto shall undertake any action to encourage returns with respect to Purchased Products other than in the Ordinary Course of Business. 
  
 2.9 Allocation of Trade Programs. Seller shall have responsibility for Liabilities associated with all Trade Programs
to the extent such Trade Programs relate to or are attributable to Seller’s Accounts Receivable, and Buyer shall have responsibility for Liabilities associated with all Trade Programs to the extent such Trade Programs relate to or are
attributable to Buyer’s Accounts Receivable. Notwithstanding the foregoing: 
  
 (a) in the case of Trade Programs that are based on a specified target volume of sales being reached or specified performance contracts, pre-paid or pre-funded accounts, where the Liabilities associated with such
Trade Programs affect the collectibility or value of Accounts Receivable in respect of sales after such specified target volume of sales or performance targets have been reached but not the collectibility or value of the Accounts Receivable in
respect of the sales that count toward the specified target goals, and the specified target goals for such Trade Programs are reached, then the Liabilities associated with such Trade Programs shall be re-allocated so that all of such Liabilities
shall be allocated to the Accounts Receivable in respect of the sales that counted toward the specified target goals, and, within such Accounts Receivable, to Seller’s Accounts Receivable and Buyer’s Accounts Receivable based on the
proportion of such sales that counted toward the specified target goals that generated Seller’s Accounts Receivable and Buyer’s Accounts Receivable, respectively; and 
  
 (b) Seller shall be responsible for all Liabilities related to free-standing insert coupons dropped or inserted prior to the
Effective Time, and Buyer shall be responsible for all Liabilities related to free-standing insert coupons dropped or inserted on or after the Effective Time. 
  

 17 

 2.10 Recalls. In the event that (a) any Governmental Entity issues a request, directive or
order that any Purchased Product be recalled, (b) a court of competent jurisdiction orders such a recall, or (c) Buyer reasonably determines that any Purchased Product should be recalled for any reason, Buyer and Seller shall take all
appropriate corrective actions reasonably requested by the other party hereto or by any Governmental Entity. In the event that such recall relates to any Purchased Products manufactured prior to the Effective Time, Seller shall be responsible for
all Liabilities of the recall. In the event that such recall relates to any Purchased Products manufactured on or after the Effective Time, Buyer shall be responsible for all Liabilities of the recall. 
  
 2.11 Prorations. On the Closing Date, or as promptly as practicable
following the Closing Date, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days thereafter, the real and personal property taxes, water, gas, electricity and other utilities, common area maintenance reimbursements to lessors, local business or
other license fees or taxes, merchants’ association dues and other similar periodic charges payable with respect to the Purchased Assets or the Business shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller effective as of the Effective Time. To the
extent practicable, utility meter readings for the Ft. Madison Facility shall be determined as of the Effective Time. If the final real property tax rate or final assessed value for the current tax year is not established by the Closing Date, the
prorations shall be made on the basis of the rate or assessed value in effect for the preceding tax year and shall be adjusted when the exact amounts are determined. All such prorations shall be based upon the most recent available assessed value of
the Ft. Madison Facility prior to the Closing Date. 
  
 2.12
Closing Costs; Transfer Taxes and Fees. 
  
 (a) Buyer
shall pay the cost of all sale and use Taxes arising out of the transfer of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer shall pay all costs and expenses (including recording fees and real estate transfer Taxes and real estate transfer
stamps) incurred in connection with transferring or recording title to the Purchased Assets. The sales, use and transfer tax returns required by reason of said transfer shall be timely prepared and filed by the party normally obligated by law or
regulation to make such filing. The parties agree to cooperate with each other in connection with the preparation and filing of such returns, in obtaining all available exemptions from such sales, use and transfer Taxes, and in timely providing each
other with resale certificates and any other documents necessary to satisfy any such exemptions. 
  
 (b) If Buyer or Seller pays any Tax agreed to be borne by the other party under this Agreement, such other party shall promptly (within 10 business days)
reimburse the paying party for the amounts so paid. If any party receives any refund or credit of Tax to which another party is entitled under this Agreement, the receiving party shall promptly (within 10 business days) pay such amounts to the party
entitled thereto. 
  
 2.13 Failure to Obtain Consent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Assumption Agreement or the Bill of Sale, to the extent that the transfer to Buyer of any Assumed Contract or Permit that is a Purchased Asset requires any governmental or
third-party authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers, and the Closing occurs without such authorization, approval, consent or waiver having been obtained, then neither this 
  

 18 

 Agreement, the Assumption Agreement nor the Bill of Sale shall constitute a transfer of such Assumed Contract or Permit,
or an attempt thereof. In the event that the Closing occurs without the transfer of such Assumed Contract, then, following the Closing, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain promptly
such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall be required to pay any consideration for any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver. Pending such authorization,
approval, consent or waiver, the parties shall cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangements (to the extent any such arrangements are feasible) designed to provide to Buyer the benefits of such Assumed
Contract or Permit, that Buyer would have obtained had such Assumed Contract or Permit been transferred to Buyer at the Closing. To the extent that Buyer is provided the benefits pursuant to this Section 2.13 of any such Assumed
Contract, Buyer shall perform, for the benefit of Seller, the obligations of Seller thereunder and any related Liabilities that, but for the lack of an authorization, approval, consent or waiver in connection with the assignment of such Assumed
Contract to Buyer, would have become Liabilities of Buyer by virtue of Section 2.3(a). Once authorization, approval, consent or waiver for the transfer of any such Assumed Contract or Permit not transferred at the Closing is obtained,
Seller shall transfer any such Assumed Contract or Permit to Buyer and Buyer shall assume obligations under such Assumed Contracts in accordance with Section 2.3(a). To the extent that any such Assumed Contract or Permit cannot be
transferred following the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.13, then Buyer and Seller shall cooperate reasonably in an effort to find and enter into mutually agreeable arrangements (including subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting),
if feasible, to provide the parties the economic (taking into account Tax costs and benefits) and operational equivalent, to the extent permitted, of obtaining such authorization, approval, consent or waiver and the performance by Buyer of the
obligations thereunder. Seller shall hold in trust for, and pay to Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller in respect of Buyer’s performance of any such Assumed Contract in connection with
the arrangements under this Section 2.13. This Section 2.13 shall in all cases be limited to the extent necessary not to result in a violation of applicable law.

authority, and has taken all corporate action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to perform its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. Each of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which Seller is a party has been (or, when executed and delivered, will have been) duly executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes (or, when executed and
delivered, will constitute) a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to
creditor’s rights generally or by equitable principles (whether considered in an action at law or in equity). 
  
 4.3 Consents and Approvals. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.3 hereto, (i) no notice to, declaration, filing or registration with, or

relating to, resulting from or arising out of the conduct of the Business by Buyer for which Seller or any of its Affiliates would be entitled to assert, or cause any Affiliate or other person or entity to assert, a claim for recovery under any
policy of insurance maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates in respect of the Business or the Purchased Assets, at the request of Buyer, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assert (or cause its applicable Affiliate to assert),
or to assist Buyer to assert, one or more claims under such insurance covering such loss, liability or damage if Buyer is not itself entitled to assert such claim but Seller or any of its Affiliates is so entitled. Any recovery received by Seller or
such Affiliate or other Person as a result of any such assertion to which Buyer is entitled shall be promptly paid to Buyer. Buyer agrees to pay or assume all costs or liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with any such

 6.13 Payments Received. Seller and Buyer agree that, from and after the Effective Time, each of Seller and Buyer will
hold and will promptly transfer and deliver to the other, from time to time as and when received by them, any cash or checks with appropriate endorsements (using their commercially reasonable efforts not to convert such checks into cash), or other
property that they may receive on or after the Closing that properly belongs to the other party. 
  
 6.14 Assignment of Noncompetition and Other Agreements. At the Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer all rights of Seller pursuant to any
noncompetition, confidentiality, nonsolicitation or indemnification provisions that benefit the Business or that relate to the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities contained in any Material Contracts with third parties, including employees (and
that are not Assumed Contracts). 
  
 6.15 Non-Competition;
Non-Solicitation. 
  
 (a) For the period commencing on the
Closing Date and expiring on the third anniversary thereof, except as permitted in this Section 6.15, Seller shall not, and Seller shall cause its Affiliates not to, engage in any business that competes with the Purchased Products or the
Business, including the business of manufacturing, distributing, marketing or selling Vienna sausage, canned meat, potted meat, dried beef, chili, or luncheon meat products. The restrictions set forth in this Section 6.15 shall not be
construed to prohibit or restrict: (i) any minority equity investment by Seller any of its Affiliates in any Person in which Seller or its Affiliates do not have the right to designate a member of the board of directors (or similar governing
body) of such entity, or in which Seller or its Affiliates collectively hold not more than 5% of the outstanding voting securities; or (ii) any business (other than the Business) currently conducted by Seller or its Affiliates. 
  

 42 

 (b) For the period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring on the third anniversary thereof, Seller
shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly, solicit to hire or hire, or enter into a consulting agreement with, any person who was an employee or consultant to the Business at
any time from and after the Statement Date. The foregoing restrictions are not intended to preclude general solicitations in newspapers or similar mass media not targeted towards Employees, former employees of the Business or consultants to the
Business. 
  
 6.16 Confidentiality. From and after the
Closing: 
  
 (a) In respect of all confidential information that
relates to the Business (“Confidential Information”), Seller shall use all reasonable best efforts to, and shall cause each of Seller’s Affiliates to use all reasonable best efforts to, treat all Confidential Information as
confidential, preserve the confidentiality thereof and not disclose any Confidential Information, except to its Representatives and respective Affiliates who need to know such Confidential Information. If Confidential Information is disclosed in
violation of this Section 6.16, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer in writing and, as applicable, take all reasonable steps required to prevent further disclosure. 
  
 (b) In addition to all other remedies available to Buyer at law or in equity, the parties agree that Buyer shall be entitled
to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, in the event of any breach of this Section 6.16. 
  
 (c) If Seller or any of its Affiliates is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal
proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) by operation of law to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt written notice of such request or requirement, which notice shall, if
practicable, be at least 48 hours prior to making such disclosure, so that Buyer may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.16. If, in the absence of a protective
order or other remedy or the receipt of such a waiver, Seller or any of its Affiliates is nonetheless, in the opinion of its counsel, legally required to disclose Confidential Information, then such Person may disclose that portion of the
Confidential Information which such counsel advises is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Seller uses its reasonable best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, whereupon such disclosure shall not
constitute a breach of this Section 6.16. 
  
 6.17
Abstract of Title; Survey. 
  
 (a) Prior to Closing,
Seller shall provide to Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, an abstract of title to the Ft. Madison Facility continued through a date within thirty (30) days of Closing and deliver it to Buyer for examination. The abstract shall show
merchantable title in Seller in conformity with this Agreement, Iowa law and the Title Standards of the Iowa State Bar Association. The abstract shall be obtained from an abstracter qualified by the Title Guaranty Division of the Iowa Housing
Finance Authority. The abstract shall become the property of the Buyer upon the Closing, provided, however, that Buyer reserves the right to occasionally use the abstract prior to Closing. Seller shall pay the costs of any additional 
  

 43 

 abstracting and title work due to any act or omission of Seller. Buyer, at its expense, may purchase title insurance or a
title guaranty from the Title Guaranty Division of the Iowa Housing Finance Authority. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s efforts to obtain such insurance or title guaranty, as the case may be.

  
 (b) As may be necessary to obtain the insurance or title
guaranty without a survey exception, Seller shall assist Buyer in Buyer’s obtaining, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, an ALTA survey of the Ft. Madison Facility as of a date subsequent to the date of this Agreement which shall be prepared
by a registered land surveyor reasonably acceptable to Buyer, be certified to the issuer of the Title Policy and to Buyer pursuant to a certification requested by Buyer, and show with respect to the Ft. Madison Facility: the legal description of the
Ft. Madison Facility (which shall be the same as the Title Policy pertaining thereto); all buildings, structures and improvements thereon and all restrictions of record and other restrictions that have been established by an applicable zoning or
building code or ordinance and all easements or rights of way across or serving the Ft. Madison Facility (including any off-site easements affecting or appurtenant thereto); no encroachments upon the Ft. Madison Facility or adjoining parcels by
buildings, structures or improvements and no other survey defects; access to such parcel from a public street; and a flood certification reasonably satisfactory to Buyer to the effect that no portion of the Ft. Madison Facility is located within a
flood hazard area. 
  
 6.18 Confidentiality Agreement; Public
Announcement. The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and shall continue in full force and effect and shall survive the Closing, and, prior to the Closing, no press release or other public
announcement with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be made without the express prior approval of Buyer and Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the Confidentiality Agreement (which is amended as
provided in this Section 6.18), (a) from and after the Closing, Buyer’s confidentiality obligations and other obligations under this Section 6.18 shall terminate with respect to any information relating to the
Business and Buyer shall be entitled to use such information for any purpose, (b) at any time, Buyer may disclose to any nationally-recognized debt rating agency any information regarding the Business in connection with Buyer’s or its
Affiliate’s debt securities, and the rating agency may publicly announce any information about the Business in connection with its rating of Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s debt securities (provided that, during the period prior to the
Closing, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to notify Seller of any such disclosure), and (c) at any time, each of Buyer and Seller may make any disclosures (including the making of any press releases and the filing of this Agreement
on Form 8-K) required under Regulations concerning securities law matters if it determines in good faith that it is required to do so and, with respect to each such disclosure, it provides the other with prior notice and a reasonable opportunity to
review the disclosure. 
  
 6.19 Release of Encumbrances. At
or prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause all Encumbrances, except for Permitted Encumbrances, then encumbering the Purchased Assets to be released in full. 
  

6.20 Use of Certain Names. Within six (6) months after the Closing, Buyer shall and shall cause its Affiliates to revise all labeling and
Sales Materials so as to discontinue use of the name “The Dial Corporation” and variations thereof (collectively, the “Names”). 
  

 44 

 Notwithstanding that it bears the Names, Buyer shall be entitled to use all labeling and Sales Materials existing at the
Effective Time until the supply on hand of such has been exhausted. In no event shall Buyer use any of the Names after the Effective Time in any manner or for any purpose different from the use of such Names by Seller during the ninety (90) calendar
day period preceding the Closing Date and all such use shall be in a manner so as to preserve and enhance the quality and goodwill associated with the Names and The Dial Corporation, provided that any use of such Names that is substantially the same
as the use of such Names by Seller prior to Closing shall be deemed to preserve and enhance the quality and goodwill associated with the Names and The Dial Corporation. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any goodwill resulting from use of the Names
by Buyer shall inure to the sole benefit of Seller. With respect to Inventory manufactured by Seller on or prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding that it bears the Names, Buyer may continue to sell such Inventory until such Inventory has been
sold. 
  
 6.21 Delivery of Assets. Within one hundred and
twenty (120) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s expense, to retrieve from Seller’s corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, the assets listed on Schedule 4.5 that are not located at
the Ft. Madison Facility. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s efforts to retrieve such assets and, until such assets are retrieved by Buyer, shall maintain such assets in reasonable condition. If Buyer does not retrieve such assets
within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have abandoned such assets, and Seller shall be permitted to dispose of such assets.

 ARTICLE IX 
  
 ACTIONS BY SELLER AND
BUYER AFTER THE CLOSING 
  
 9.1 Tax Matters. Seller
and Buyer shall (i) each provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by any of them in connection with the preparation of any return, audit, or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative
proceedings relating to Liability for Taxes, (ii) each retain and provide the other with any records or other information that may be relevant to such return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination, and (iii) each provide the
other with any such audit or examination, proceeding, or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any tax return of the other for any period. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall each retain,
until the applicable statutes of limitations (including any extensions) have expired, copies of all tax returns, supporting work schedules, and other records or information that may be relevant to such returns for all tax periods or portions thereof
ending on or before the Closing Date. 
  
 9.2 Employees.

  
 (a) Offers of Employment. Buyer shall offer to employ
all of the Employees who are listed in Schedule 4.11, with such employment to be effective, if accepted, (i) as of the Effective Time with respect to such active Employees or (ii) as of the employee’s return to work with
respect to those Employees on leave or reinstated as a result of an arbitration award or the Memorandum of Understanding entered into by Seller and UFCW, Local 617 dated February 22, 2006, provided the employee returns to work within 365 days
immediately following the Effective Time. Such offers of employment to Salaried Employees shall be on terms and conditions that are reasonably comparable to the terms and conditions of employment of similarly situated employees of Buyer;
provided, however, that (x) for a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, salary levels and (y) through December 31, 2006, bonus opportunities (as determined under Seller’s VERC, a copy of
which has been provided to Buyer), shall in each case be no less favorable to such Salaried Employees than were available to such Salaried Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, as of the Effective Time and through
December 31, 2006, Buyer shall make available to the Salaried Employees 
  

 47 

 medical, vision (at a cost no greater than 50% of the monthly premium charged to similarly situated employees of Buyer)
and dental plans substantially comparable to the medical, vision and dental plans that Seller made available to the Salaried Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding welfare benefits for retired employees); provided,
however, that Buyer shall have no obligation to make available to the Salaried Employees a medical, vision or dental plan comparable to the Aetna HealthFund Health Reimbursement Arrangement plan maintained by Seller; and further provided that
to the extent that medical, vision and dental benefits are provided to Salaried Employees pursuant to the Transition Service Agreement, Buyer will be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of this sentence. Nothing herein shall require
Buyer to offer an equity-based compensation plan or program to any Employee. Any Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee” and will be terminated by Seller at the
Effective Time with respect to active Employees or as of the employee’s return to work with respect to Employees on leave. Except as provided below, Buyer will provide Transferred Hourly Employees with such terms and conditions of employment as
are provided under the terms of the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that to the extent that welfare benefits are provided to Hourly Employees pursuant to the
Transition Service Agreement, Buyer will be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of this sentence. This Section 9.2(a) shall not be construed as guaranteeing employment to any particular Employee or Transferred Employee or
require that the employment of any Transferred Employee by Buyer be for any specific period of time. Seller shall support fully Buyer’s efforts to employ Employees and shall cooperate fully with Buyer in facilitating the making of such offers
to Employees. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall not, from the date hereof, offer any material inducements, transfers or promotions or other business opportunities to any Employee, the acceptance of which would result in such individual
ceasing to perform substantially all of his or her services for the Business. 
  
 (b) Severance Benefits. For a period of twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Buyer shall maintain a severance plan for Transferred Salaried Employees that provides benefits substantially comparable
to the benefits provided under The Dial Corporation Enhanced Severance Pay Plan For Terminated Employees as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. Any severance obligation to any Employee or other individual who performed services for the
Business and which arises from such person’s employment being terminated by Seller (and regardless of whether an Employee accepts or rejects Buyer’s offer of employment) shall be retained by Seller. Any obligations under the Worker
Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and similar laws that arise prior to the Effective Time, or as a result of Seller’s actions in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be retained by Seller. Any
obligations under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and similar laws that arise after the Effective Time, or as a result of Buyer’s actions in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be
retained by Buyer. 
  
 (c) Service Credit. Buyer shall
recognize service completed by Transferred Employees while employed by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller for purposes of determining eligibility for participation and vesting in Buyer’s benefit plans, but not for purposes of benefit accrual.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Buyer shall recognize service completed by Transferred Salaried Employees while employed by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller for purposes of calculating any severance or vacation accrual benefits provided to
Transferred Salaried 
  

 48 

 Employees after the Effective Time. Buyer, under Buyer’s or an Affiliate of Buyer’s welfare benefit plans in
which the Transferred Employees participate, shall credit the Transferred Employees with deductibles and co-payments under Seller’s welfare plans for the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs. Buyer’s or an Affiliate of
Buyer’s welfare plans will not impose any pre-existing condition exclusions on Transferred Employees, except to the extent such restrictions were imposed on a Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time by Seller. Seller shall
refund to the Transferred Employees all amounts paid by such employees under Seller’s vacation buy/sell program that have not been used as of the Effective Time. 
  
 (d) Welfare Plans. Seller agrees that any claims for welfare benefits arising on or before the Effective Time with
respect to any Employee or former employee of Seller (and their covered dependents or beneficiaries) shall be the responsibility of Seller and its welfare benefit plans, and (except as provided for below) Buyer agrees that any claims for welfare
benefits arising after the Effective Time with respect to Transferred Employees (and their covered dependents or beneficiaries) shall be the responsibility of Buyer and its welfare benefit plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, welfare benefit claims
for a Transferred Employee (and his or her covered dependents and beneficiaries) who is not an active Employee at the Effective Time, shall remain the responsibility of Seller and its welfare benefit plans until such Transferred Employee commences
employment with Buyer. A claim shall be deemed to have arisen when services relating to the condition that is the subject of the claim were performed; provided, however, that in the case of an individual who was hospitalized at the
Effective Time, all claims relating to such hospitalization (including, without limitation, hospital charges and physician fees) shall be deemed to be claims arising at or before the Effective Time. 
  
 (e) Retiree Medical. Seller agrees that any claims for retiree medical
benefits (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time and whether such person retires prior to or after the Effective Time) with respect to the Employees and Transferred Employees (and their covered dependents and beneficiaries) who
satisfy the age and service requirements for such benefits on or before September 30, 2007, shall be the sole responsibility of Seller and its welfare benefit plans, and that Buyer and its welfare benefit plans shall have no liability for
retiree medical benefits for any Employee or Transferred Employee (or their covered dependents or beneficiaries); provided, however, that if Buyer offers retiree medical benefits to Transferred Hourly Employees under the terms of a
Collective Bargaining Agreement for periods after September 30, 2007, Buyer shall be responsible for any claims for retiree medical benefits attributable to any Transferred Hourly Employee who satisfies the age and service requirements for such
benefits after September 30, 2007. The parties acknowledge that Seller’s employee benefit plans currently require Transferred Hourly Employees who have satisfied the eligibility requirements for retiree medical benefits as of the Effective
Time to elect retiree medical benefits upon their termination of employment with Seller. Seller shall make its reasonable best efforts to amend its employee benefit plans so that Transferred Hourly Employees who meet the eligibility requirements for
retiree medical benefits by September 30, 2007 (including service with Buyer) can defer retirement from Seller, including the election of retiree medical benefits, until termination of employment from Buyer. Buyer agrees to make its reasonable
best efforts to advise Seller within thirty (30) days of the termination of employment of each such eligible Transferred Hourly Employee. 
  

 49 

 (f) Defined Contribution Plans. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Seller shall
cause matching contributions to be made to The Dial Corporation Future Investment Plan and The Dial Corporation 401(k) Plan For Hourly Employees (collectively “Seller’s Savings Plans”) with respect to all elective deferrals by
or on behalf of Transferred Employees relating to compensation paid to Transferred Employees for services rendered through the Effective Time. As soon as practicable thereafter, Seller shall cause the assets held in trust under Seller’s Savings
Plans equal to the account balances of the Transferred Employees who were participants in Seller’s Savings Plans to be transferred to the trust under the Pinnacle Foods 401k Savings Plan for Salaried Employees or the Pinnacle Foods 401k Savings
Plan for Union Employees, as applicable. Buyer represents that any such plan is qualified under Code Sections 401(a) and 401(k) and that its related trust is tax exempt under Code Section 501(a). The assets to be transferred shall be in cash
and, to the extent mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller, a combination of cash, securities and other property; provided, however, that the participant loans shall be transferred in kind. The amount transferred from the trust under
Seller’s Savings Plans shall be adjusted to reflect any distributions, contributions or earnings properly attributable to such plan during the period prior to the transfer date. Prior to such asset transfer, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate
with and assist each other in connection with the administration of the Seller’s Savings Plans and to facilitate such transfer of assets and the adoption and filing of any documents reasonably required by such transfer. Notwithstanding the
above, the amount transferred shall in no event be less than the amount necessary to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 414(l). 
  
 (g) Waiver. Seller waives any claims against Buyer and the Transferred Employees arising from any breach of the confidentiality, non-disclosure or
non-compete provisions of any agreement between Seller and a Transferred Employee entered into prior to the Effective Time, to the extent that such breach arises directly as a result of the Transferred Employee’s performance of services for
Buyer in the course of operating the Business. 
  
 (h) Defined
Benefit Plans. Seller shall cause all Transferred Hourly Employees to become 100% vested in their accrued benefits under any defined benefit plan maintained by Seller, and Buyer shall assume no liability under any such plan. Seller shall cause
Seller’s Labor Pension Program to be liable for and pay the “30-Year Retirement Pension” benefit to each Transferred Hourly Employee with thirty years of service under such plan on or prior to September 30, 2007 (with years of
service calculated by including service recognized by Seller under such plan as well as service with Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer following the Effective Time). 
  
 (i) Cafeteria Plan. Buyer shall maintain a welfare benefit plan under Code Section 125 that includes a medical
spending account component and a dependant care spending account component and Buyer shall assume all liabilities associated with such accounts with respect to the Transferred Employees under Seller’s Flexible Compensation Plan as of the
Effective Time. Seller shall transfer to Buyer the aggregate account balances of all Transferred Employees under Seller’s Flexible Compensation Plan (including any unpaid accrued employer matching contributions). 
  

 50 

 (j) Employee Share Program. As of Effective Time, Seller shall cause all Transferred Employees to
become 100% vested in their Matching Shares under the Henkel Employee Share Program. 
  
 (k) Special Bonus. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any bonus payable pursuant to a Director LTIP Agreement dated July 1, 2004. 
  
 9.3 Assignment of Intellectual Property. In accordance with Section 6.5, Buyer and Seller acknowledge and
agree that Seller shall, in a prompt, commercially reasonable manner, be responsible for the preparation of the assignment documents for the recordation of the assignment to Buyer of all non-United States Intellectual Property and non-United States
Seller Owned Trademarks associated with the Purchased Assets. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall be solely responsible for recording worldwide of the assignment documents for the Intellectual Property and Seller Owned Trademarks
associated with the Purchased Assets. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that such preparation and recording of such assignment documents for the non-United States Intellectual Property and non-United States Seller Owned Trademarks will not be completed
prior to the Closing Date and Seller’s failure to complete such preparation of the assignment documents of the non-United States Intellectual Property and non-United States Seller Owned Trademarks associated with the Purchased Assets prior to
the Closing Date shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or of any of the Ancillary Agreements. With respect to the three trademark applications currently pending in the United States Trademark Office filed in the name of Armour Brands, Inc.
(Serial Nos. 78/731895, 78/626877, and 78/572360 for DESSERT BUCKET, THE ULTIMATE IN THICK, RICH CHILI, and ULTIMATE, respectively), Seller agrees that, commencing promptly after Closing, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to transfer
legal title of the foregoing trademark applications to Buyer and to correct any title defect in the three foregoing trademark applications through the preparation and drafting of petitions, motions, applications, declarations, briefs, and other
papers in support of the transfer of legal title in the foregoing trademark applications from Armour Brands, Inc. to Buyer. 
  
 ARTICLE X 
  
 SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION 
  
 10.1 Survival of Representations, Etc. All representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained herein shall survive the Closing Date and
shall terminate at 11:59 p.m., Central Time, on April 30, 2007; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations period. Upon the termination of a representation or warranty in accordance with the foregoing, such representation or warranty shall have no further force or effect for any purpose under this Agreement, including Section 10.2
hereof, provided that, any representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 10.2, and the indemnity with respect thereto, shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to this
Section 10.1 if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time and shall thereafter remain in effect until
the claim identified in the notice is finally resolved. The covenants and other agreements of Seller and Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date until fully performed. 
  

 51 

 10.2 Indemnifications. 
  
 (a) By Seller. From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and its Representatives and Affiliates, and
hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Damages incurred by any of them arising out of, resulting from, relating to or in connection with (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this
Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, or in any certificate (including the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.4) furnished or to be furnished to Buyer hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreements; (ii) any failure by Seller
to perform in a timely manner any agreement, covenant or obligation of Seller pursuant to this Agreement; and (iii) any Excluded Liability; provided, however, that Damages shall not include, and Seller shall not be liable for, any
Damages arising out of any condition which resulted in an adjustment reflected in the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5 or Section 2.6 of this Agreement to the extent of the amount of the adjustment. 
  
 (b) By Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify Seller
and its Representatives and Affiliates, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Damages incurred by any of them arising out of, resulting from, relating to or in connection with (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any
representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, or any certificate (including the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.4) furnished or to be furnished to Seller hereunder or under any
Ancillary Agreements; (ii) any failure by Buyer to perform in a timely manner any agreement, covenant or obligation of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) any Assumed Liability; (iv) any Post-Closing Environmental Liabilities; and
(v) any Liabilities arising out of Buyer’s operation of the Business or ownership of the Purchased Assets on and after the Effective Time, other than any Liabilities for which Buyer or its Representatives or Affiliates is entitled to seek
indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a). 
  
 (c)
Defense of Claims. If a claim for Damages (a “Claim”) is to be made by a party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) against the party from whom indemnification is claimed (the
“Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party as soon as practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event
which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 10.2. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder, written notice thereof shall
be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) business days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect
rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual and material prejudice caused by such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Claim Notice that relates to a representation or warranty must
be made within the survival period set forth in Section 10.1, whether or not the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by any failure to give the Claim Notice. The Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim,
including, to the extent reasonably feasible, an estimate of the amount of Damages that have 
  

 52 

 been or may be suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Party attributable to such Claim, the basis of the Indemnified
Party’s request for indemnification under the Agreement and all information in the Indemnified Party’s possession relating to such Claim. After receipt of such Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects, at its
own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action and (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same. If the Indemnifying Party elects to take
control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, the Indemnifying Party shall conduct the defense and investigation actively and diligently. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Claim within thirty
(30) calendar days after receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such Claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying
Party’s cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such Claim shall not, in any event, be compromised or
settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party reasonably
informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to conduct its own defense at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnified Party
shall have reasonably concluded that (i) there may be defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Claim seeks an order, injunction or other
equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful would be reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the Business or financial condition of the Indemnified Party, or (iii) the conduct of its defense by the Indemnifying
Party would reasonably be likely to prejudice the Indemnified Party due to a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; and provided further that in any event the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense
at its own expense. 
  
 (d) Settlement. In the event that
the Indemnified Party settles any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have no further indemnification obligations under this Section 10.2 with respect to such Claim;
provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party refuses to defend or otherwise handle such Claim and it is subsequently determined that the Indemnifying Party is or was obligated to defend or indemnify the Indemnified Party with
respect to such Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall remain obligated with respect to such settlement amount. If the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party of any
proposed settlement of such Claim at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to agreeing to any settlement and shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any
settlement of a Claim or ceasing to defend such Claim if (i) pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief shall be imposed against the Indemnified Party, (ii) such settlement or cessation
does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all Damages with respect to such Claim, without prejudice, (iii) in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party the settlement would be reasonably likely to have a
materially adverse effect on the Business or the financial condition of the Indemnified Party, or (iv) the settlement or cessation imposes any liability on the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party determines 
  

 53 

 to withhold its consent to such settlement on the basis of clause (iii) in the immediately preceding sentence, the
Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnified Party is withholding its consent on such basis within ten (10) calendar days after the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party of such proposed settlement. In
the event that the Indemnifying Party proposes a settlement to any Claim that fulfills the requirements of clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) above, with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is or was entitled to defend, which settlement is
satisfactory to the party instituting such Claim, and the Indemnified Party withholds its required consent to such settlement pursuant to clause (iii) above, and thereafter a final judgment is entered against the Indemnifying Party or
Indemnified Party pursuant to which Damages exceed the amount of the proposed settlement, then in such case the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Section 10.2 against and in respect
of the amount by which the Damages resulting from such final judgment exceed the amount of the proposed settlement. 
  
 (e) Mitigation. Each Indemnified Party shall have an obligation to mitigate Damages under this Agreement, and to that end each party shall use its
reasonable efforts and shall consult and cooperate with each other with a view towards mitigating Damages that may give rise to claims for indemnification under this Section 10.2. 
  
 (f) Cooperation. In the event that any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation relating hereto or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is commenced, whether before or after the Closing, the parties hereto agree to cooperate and use reasonable efforts to vigorously defend against and respond thereto
and make available to each other such personnel, witnesses, books, records, documents or other information within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense (except for trade secrets and such items which may not be made available
pursuant to a Court Order); provided that, subject to Section 10.2(c), the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
any other provisions of this Agreement (except for Section 2.4(b) and Section 2.5), in the case of any dispute among the parties hereto, the applicable Regulations governing information sharing applicable to such dispute
shall govern. 
  
 (g) Limitations. 
  
 (i) Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be liable to the other under this
Section 10.2 for any Damages due pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(b)(i) exclusively, unless and until (A) each individual amount otherwise due the Indemnified Party exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000) (excluding legal fees and expenses) (the “Damages Threshold”), and (B) the aggregate amount of all such Damages under this Agreement due the Indemnified Party (excluding Damages incurred in any individual claim of
less than the Damages Threshold) exceeds an accumulated total of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and thereafter the total amount of all such Damages in excess of the Damages Threshold per claim (excluding legal fees and expenses) actually incurred
(excluding the first One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)) shall be indemnifiable. For purposes of determining whether the Damages Threshold has been met, all Damages arising out of or related to the same event or circumstance shall be aggregated and
together treated as an individual amount. 
  

 54 

 (ii) Neither (A) Seller’s aggregate liability under Sections 10.2(a)(i) of this
Agreement for all claims for Damages incurred by Buyer (and its Representatives and Affiliates) nor (B) Buyer’s aggregate liability under Sections 10.2(b)(i) of this Agreement for all claims for Damages incurred by Seller (and its
Representatives and Affiliates), shall in any event exceed, in either case (A) or (B), ten percent (10%) of the Final Purchase Price; provided that Seller’s aggregate liability under Section 10.2(a) for all claims
for Damages incurred by Buyer (and its Representatives and Affiliates) and made under Section 10.2(a) shall not in any event exceed the Final Purchase Price. 
  
 (iii) Solely for purposes of calculating the amount of Damages incurred arising out of or relating to any breach or
inaccuracy of a representation or warranty (and not for determining whether a breach has occurred), the references to “Material Adverse Effect” or other materiality qualifications (or correlative terms) shall be disregarded. 
  
 (h) In no event shall any party be liable for any incidental, consequential,
punitive, indirect or special losses or damages (including, without limitation, lost profits, lost revenues and loss of business), whether foreseeable or not, whether occasioned by any failure to perform or the breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or other obligation under this Agreement for any cause whatsoever. 
  
 (i) Nothing herein shall relieve either party of any liability to make any payment expressly required to be made by such party pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 10.3 Tax Indemnifications. Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, when due all Taxes for which Seller is or may be
liable or that are or may become payable with respect to all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, other than Taxes for which Buyer is responsible pursuant to Sections 2.11 and 2.12. Seller shall indemnify and hold
harmless Buyer, its Affiliates, successors and assigns, from and against any and all Taxes of Seller for any Taxes in respect of the Purchased Assets and income of the Business for the period or portions of periods ending on or prior to the Closing
Date. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, successors and assigns, from and against any and all Taxes of Buyer for any Taxes in respect of the Purchased Assets and income of the Business for the period or portions of
periods beginning after the Closing Date. 
  
 10.4 Insurance
Proceeds; Tax Benefit and Tax Cost. 
  
 (a) With respect to
any Claim required to be indemnified pursuant to this Agreement, so long as the Indemnifying Party has complied with its indemnification obligations on such Claim, (i) to the extent available, the Indemnified Party shall assign to the
Indemnifying Party any applicable proceeds under any insurance policy which covers the matter which is the subject of the indemnification and shall take reasonable steps to insure that the Indemnifying Party obtains the benefits of such policy,
including providing any notices as required under such policy; and (ii) if the Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds with respect to any Damages paid by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying
Party in an amount equivalent to such proceeds up to the amount actually paid by the Indemnifying Party. 
  

 55 

 (b) As contemplated by the definition thereof, the amount of any and all Damages for which
indemnification is provided pursuant to Article X shall be increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder, and reduced to take account of any net
Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages; provided, however, that any net Tax cost incurred and any net Tax benefit realized shall be attributable to those Damages taken
into account on a Tax return for a year not later than the year in which the indemnity payment is made. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain,
loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any and all Damages. 
  
 10.5 Exclusive Remedy; Fraud. From and after the Closing, the rights of Buyer under Section 10.2 shall be
the exclusive remedy of Buyer with respect to claims based upon a breach or alleged breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller contained herein. From and after the Closing, the rights of Seller under Section 10.2
shall be the exclusive remedy of Seller with respect to claims based upon a breach or alleged breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of Buyer contained herein. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Seller nor any
of its Representatives or Affiliates makes or has made any representations or warranties, express or implied, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly
set forth in this Agreement, (i) the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement in their present condition, “AS IS” and without any warranty, express or implied; and (ii) no patent or latent
physical condition or defect in any of the Purchased Assets, whether or not now known or discovered, shall affect the rights of either party. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the liability of any party under this
Article X shall be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other liability that such party may have at law or equity based on such party’s fraudulent acts, fraudulent omissions, or intentional misrepresentations. None of the
provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any party to this Agreement of any right or remedy which such party may have at law or equity based on any other party’s fraudulent acts, fraudulent omissions, or intentional
misrepresentations nor shall any such provisions limit, or be deemed to limit, (i) the amounts of recovery sought or awarded in any such claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (ii) the time period during which a claim for fraud
or intentional misrepresentation may be brought, or (iii) the recourse which any such party may seek against another party with respect to a claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation; provided that that with respect to such rights
and remedies at law or equity, the parties further acknowledge and agree that none of the provisions of this Section 10.5, nor any reference to this Section 10.5 throughout this Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any
defenses which may be available in respect of actions or claims for fraud or intentional misrepresentation, including defenses of statutes of limitations or limitations of damages. 
  
 10.6 Tax Treatment. Any indemnification payments under this Article X shall be treated to the extent
permitted by Regulations applicable to the Business or to Buyer, for Tax purposes, as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

otherwise complied with its obligations under this Agreement). 
  

 57 

 (b) In the Event of Termination. Each party’s right of termination pursuant to
Section 11.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination shall not be an election of remedies. In the event of termination of this Agreement:

manner materially adverse to any party hereto. 
  
 11.10 Rules
of Construction. 
  
 (a) Each of the parties hereto
acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to be represented by independent counsel of its choice in negotiating this Agreement. Each party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to
herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto exchanged between the parties shall be deemed the work product of the parties and may not be construed against any party by reason of its preparation. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision
that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against any party that drafted it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived.

limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine or neuter genders shall be construed to state and include any other gender and words, terms and titles (including terms defined herein) in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural
and vice versa, unless the context otherwise expressly requires. Unless the context otherwise requires, all defined terms contained herein shall include the singular and plural and the conjunctive and disjunctive forms of such defined terms.

  
 11.11 No Third-Party Beneficiary. The provisions of
this Agreement are for the benefit only of the parties hereto, and no third party may seek to enforce, or benefit from, these provisions. The parties specifically disavow any desire or intention to create any third party beneficiary hereunder, and
specifically declare that no person or entity, except for the parties and their successors, shall have any right hereunder nor any right of enforcement hereof. 
  

11.12 No Reliance on Other Information. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, neither Seller nor any
Representative or Affiliate or other person acting for any of them makes any other representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the Purchased Assets, Business, financial condition or prospects or the execution, delivery or
performance by Seller of this Agreement or with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and Seller hereby disclaims any such representation or warranty, whether oral or written, whether by Seller or any of its respective Representatives or
Affiliates or any other person. Buyer acknowledges that none of Seller or any other person has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding Seller not included in this
Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule attached hereto, and neither Seller nor any other person will have or be subject to any liability to Buyer or any other person resulting from the distribution to Buyer, or Buyer’s use of, any such
information (including, without limitation, any brochures, offering memoranda or other publications distributed in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets or in any presentation by the management of Seller and any estimates of anticipated
performance of the Business.) The representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnifications provided for in this Agreement shall be unaffected by any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto. 
  
 11.13 Specific Performance. The parties recognize that in the event
that Seller should refuse to perform under the provisions of this Agreement, monetary damages alone will not be adequate to compensate Buyer. Buyer shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies which may be available, including
money damages, to seek specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. Seller shall be entitled to seek specific performance with respect to any of Buyer’s obligations arising under this Agreement.

 11.14 Director and Officer Liability. The past, present or future directors, officers, employees
and stockholders of Buyer and its Affiliates shall not have any personal liability or obligation to Seller arising directly under this Agreement. 
  
 11.15 Passage of Title and Risk of Loss. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, legal title, equitable title and risk of loss with respect
to the Purchased Assets shall not pass to Buyer until the Purchased Assets are transferred at the Closing.
