writing by Seller to Buyer no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) by delivery of a promissory note (the “Note”) in the amount of $30,000,000 by Buyer to Seller at Closing. 

2.3 Allocation. 
 (a) The Closing Purchase Price plus the assumed Liabilities (as determined for federal income Tax purposes) as of the Closing Date shall be allocated among, and paid in respect of, the Assets held by SWH
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, stock of the Acquired 

  
 12 

 
Subsidiaries) and the noncompetition provisions contained in Section 10.4 (the “Non-Compete”) in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (and any similar provision of
state, local, or non-U.S. Tax law, as appropriate) and as set forth on the allocation Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3(a) (the “Allocation Schedule”). Except as otherwise required by law or pursuant to a
“determination” under Section 1313(a) of the Code, Buyer and Seller agree to act, and will cause their Affiliates to act, in accordance with the Allocation Schedule and the final allocation statement prepared in accordance with the
Allocation Schedule, for all Tax purposes, including, those matters subject to Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and neither Buyer nor Seller nor their respective Affiliates will take any position inconsistent
therewith in any Tax Returns or other Tax filings (including IRS Form 8594), any refund claim, any litigation or otherwise. 

(b) The Adjustment Amount and any other adjustments to the Closing Purchase Price shall also be allocated among the Assets in accordance
with Section 1060 of the Code. All such amounts shall be treated, to the extent allowable under Tax law, as allocable only to those Assets with respect to which the installment sale rules under Section 453 of the Code are applicable. Buyer
and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to come to agreement on such allocations, or if no agreement is reached, shall use the resolution process set forth in the Allocation Schedule. 

2.4 Closing. The purchase and sale provided for in this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of
Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP, 52 East Gay Street, Columbus, Ohio, or such other mutually agreeable location at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on February 15, 2013, provided that all of the conditions to Closing set forth
in Articles 7 and 8 have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date), unless Buyer and Seller otherwise mutually agree, and shall be effective as of the Effective
Time. Subject to the provisions of Article 9, failure to consummate the purchase and sale provided for in this Agreement on the date and time and at the place determined pursuant to this Section 2.4 will not result in the

 (a) SWH and each Acquired Subsidiary has filed or caused to be filed on a timely basis (taking into account permitted extensions actually received) with the appropriate Governmental Body all material Tax
Returns that were required to be filed with respect to it pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements. All such Tax Returns were true, correct and complete in all material respects. SWH and each Acquired Subsidiary has paid or caused to be paid to the
appropriate Governmental Body all Taxes that have or may have become due (whether or not shown or required to be shown on any Tax Return), except such Taxes, if any, as are listed in Schedule 3.12 and are being contested in good faith.

  
 29 

 (b) There are no Encumbrances on any of the Assets, or on any of the assets of any Acquired
Subsidiary, that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax.

Subsidiary. 
 (e) No waiver or extension of any statute of limitations relating to the payment of Taxes has been given or
requested with respect to Taxes for which SWH or any Acquired Subsidiary may be liable. 
 (f) All Taxes that SWH or any
Acquired Subsidiary is or was required by Legal Requirements to withhold, deduct or collect have been duly withheld, deducted and collected and, to the extent required, have been paid to the proper Governmental Body, and each of SWH and each
Acquired Subsidiary has complied in all material respects with all information reporting and back-up withholding requirements, and has maintained all required records with respect thereto, in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee,
independent contractor, customer, creditor, equityholder, or other third party. 
 (g) There is no Tax sharing agreement, Tax
allocation agreement, Tax indemnity obligation or similar written or unwritten agreement, arrangement, understanding or practice with respect to Taxes (including any advance pricing agreement, closing agreement or other arrangement relating to
Taxes) that will require any payment by SWH or by any Acquired Subsidiary after the Closing Date. 
 (h) SWH A. has not
been a member of an affiliated group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code (or any similar group defined under a similar provision of state, local or foreign law), other than the group for which Parent is the parent (the “Bob
Evans Group”), and B. has no Liability for Taxes of any Person (other than other members of the Bob Evans Group) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law), as a transferee or
successor, by Contract, or otherwise. 
 (i) Seller has delivered or made available to Buyer true, correct and complete copies
of all income Tax Returns of SWH and the Acquired Subsidiaries filed by, and all examination reports, and statements of deficiencies assessed against or agreed to by, any such Person during the three-year period ending on the date hereof. For fiscal
years ending 2009, 2010, and 2011 (i.e., the Tax year ending April 29, 2011), Seller has delivered or made available to Buyer true, correct and complete copies of pro-forma federal income Tax Returns of SWH and the Acquired Subsidiaries
(prepared as if SWH were the parent of such affiliated group) that although not filed with any Governmental Body (because such Persons were included in the affiliated group of the Bob Evans Group and included in the consolidated federal income Tax
Returns of the entire Bob Evans Group), properly reflect the operations of SWH and the Acquired Subsidiaries, as well as their taxable income and other tax attributes and 

  
 30 

 
characteristics, as if such Persons operated on a stand-alone basis from the remainder of the Bob Evans Group. 
 (j) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.12, neither SWH nor any Acquired Subsidiary has made any payments, or is obligated to make any payments, or is a party to any agreement that under certain
circumstances could obligate it to make payments that will not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law) or Section 162(m) of the Code (or any corresponding
or similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law). 
 (k) The unpaid Taxes of SWH and Acquired Subsidiaries (1) did
not, as of the date of the Balance Sheet, exceed the reserve for Liability for Taxes (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the Balance Sheet
(rather than in any notes thereto) and (2) will not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of such Persons in filing their Tax Returns though taking into
account the Conversion. Since the date of the Balance Sheet, neither SWH nor any Acquired Subsidiary has incurred any Liability for Taxes outside the ordinary course of business.

Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

sale or open transaction disposition made on or prior to the Closing Date; or E. prepaid amount received on or prior to the Closing Date. 
 (n) Except for Mimi’s Café of Rogers, Inc. which is an Arkansas non-profit mutual benefit corporation, each Acquired Subsidiary is treated as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code for
federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes. At all times since the Conversion and through the Closing Date, each of Seller and SWH has been disregarded as an entity separate from Parent for federal and applicable state income Tax
purposes. Neither SWH nor any Acquired Subsidiary owns an interest, directly or indirectly, in any joint venture, partnership, limited liability company, or other entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal, state or local income Tax
purposes. 
 (o) Schedule 3.12 lists each agreement, contract, plan or other arrangement (whether or not written and
whether or not an Employee Benefit Plan) that is a Deferred 

  
 31 

 
Compensation Plan to which any of SWH or any Acquired Subsidiary is a party or in which any Active Employee is a participant that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within
the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Each such Deferred Compensation Plan (i) complies, and is operated and administered in accordance, with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and any other official IRS guidance issued thereunder and (ii) has been operated and administered in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code from

Employee Benefit Plan that is maintained, administered or contributed to by SWH or any Acquired Subsidiary, and, with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan on Schedule 3.14(a) for which SWH or any Acquired Subsidiary is the plan sponsor,

plan” within the meaning of ERISA Sections 3(37) or 4001(a)(3); and (ii) no Employee Benefit Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA.

is so exempt. To the Knowledge of Seller no fact or event has occurred or condition exists which would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the qualified status of any such Employee Benefit Plan or the exempt status of any such trust. Each
Employee Benefit Plan has been maintained and operated in compliance with the material terms thereof and with the requirements prescribed by any applicable Legal Requirement. All premiums that are due with respect to periods prior to the Closing
Date have been paid with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in ERISA Section 3(1)). All reports, disclosures, notices and filings with respect to such Employee Benefit Plans required to
be made to employees, participants, 

  
 32 

 
beneficiaries, alternate payees, qualified beneficiaries (as defined in the Code) and any Governmental Body have been timely made or an extension has been timely obtained. 

(d) Neither SWH nor any ERISA Affiliate, nor any director, officer or employee of SWH or any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in any
transaction with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, or breached any applicable fiduciary responsibility or obligation under Title I of ERISA that would subject any of them to a material tax, penalty or liability for a “prohibited
transaction” (as defined under ERISA Section 406 and Section 4975 of the Code) or breach of any obligations under ERISA or the Code or would result in any claim being made under, by or on behalf of any such Employee Benefit Plan by
any party with standing to make such a claim. To the Knowledge of Seller, no Employee Benefit Plan is under audit or investigation by the IRS, the U.S. Department of Labor or other Governmental Body. 

(e) Schedule 3.14(e) lists each Benefit Arrangement that is entered into, maintained or contributed to by SWH, excluding any
such Benefit Arrangement which constitutes a Deferred Compensation Plan as listed on Schedule 3.12, and, with respect to any Benefit Arrangement on Schedule 3.14(e) for which SWH or any Acquired Subsidiary is the plan sponsor, such
plan is identified as an “SWH Plan”. Seller has made available to Buyer current copies of each Benefit Arrangement for which SWH or any Acquired Subsidiary is the plan sponsor or in the case of any unwritten such Benefit Arrangement,

retention, change-in-control or similar-type benefits as a result of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement being a “change in control” within the meaning of such term under Section 280G of the Code. 

(g) There are no actions, suits or claims pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened against or with respect to any Employee
Benefit Plan or any Benefit Arrangement (other than routine claims for benefits and appeals of denied claims) that could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to SWH.

damage to property occurring solely as a result of the conducting of any such inspections, examinations and tests by Buyer (but not any liability arising from the mere discovery of existing conditions of the Property, or from any activity that could
cause release of pre-existing but reasonably unknown Hazardous Materials on or under the Property 

  
 46 

 
(for example, a soil boring drill that punctures a old, buried oil barrel), and Seller waives and releases Buyer and its agents, employees, representatives, consultants, contractors and
subcontractors from all claims arising from such a release, except to the extent such claims are caused by the negligent, willful or unlawful acts or omissions of Buyer or its agents, employees, representatives, consultants, contractors and
subcontractors)). No investigation by Buyer or other information received by Buyer shall operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by Seller in this Agreement.

or consented to in writing by Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Seller shall cause SWH to (x) conduct the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business, and (y) use commercially reasonable best efforts to
maintain and preserve intact its current Business organization, operations and to preserve the rights, franchises, goodwill and relationships of its employees, customers, lenders, suppliers, regulators and others having relationships with the
Business. Without limiting the foregoing, from the Effective Date until the Closing Date, Seller shall cause SWH to: 
 (a)
conduct its business only in the Ordinary Course of Business;

 (i) except as required to comply with ERISA or to maintain
qualification under Section 401(a) of the Code, not amend, modify or terminate any Employee Benefit Plan without the express written consent of Buyer (except as agreed in this Agreement) and, except as required under the provisions of any
Employee Benefit Plan or Benefit Arrangement, not make any contributions to or with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan without the express written consent of Buyer; 
 (j) preserve and maintain all Governmental Authorizations required for the conduct of the Business as currently conducted or the ownership and use of the Assets and

  
 47 

 
cooperate with Buyer; and assist Buyer in identifying the Governmental Authorizations required by Buyer to operate the business from and after the Closing Date and transferring existing
Governmental Authorizations of Seller to Buyer, where permissible; and 
 (k) defend and protect the properties and assets
included in the Assets from infringement or usurpation; 
 (l) comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements
applicable to the conduct of the Business or the ownership and use of the Assets; 
 (m) maintain all books and Records relating
to the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business; and 
 (n) not permit any action that would cause any of the changes, events
or conditions described in Section 3.17 to occur. 
 For purposes of this Section 5.2 and
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, SWH’s refreshing or remodeling of Restaurants after the Effective Date and prior to Closing and consistent with the budgets and business plans previously provided by Seller to
Buyer shall not be deemed a Breach of this Section 5.2 or any other provision of this Agreement. 
 5.3 Required
Approvals. As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall make all filings required by Legal Requirements to be made by it in order to consummate the Contemplated Transactions. Seller also shall cooperate fully with

Seller also shall cooperate fully with Buyer and its Representatives and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts in obtaining all Material Consents. 
 5.4 Notification 
 (a) Between the Effective Date and the Closing, Seller
shall promptly notify Buyer in writing if it becomes aware of: 
  

	 	(i)	any fact, circumstance, event, action or condition the existence of which (A) has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect, or (B) causes or constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to cause or constitute a Breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties made as of the Effective Date or had that representation or warranty
been made as of the time of the occurrence of, or Seller’s discovery of, such fact, circumstance, event, action or condition. 

  

	 	(ii)	any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the Consent of such person is or may be required in connection with Contemplated Transactions;

  
 48 

	 	(iii)	any notice or other communication from any Governmental Body in connection with the Contemplated Transactions; 

 

	 	(iv)	any Proceedings commenced or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting SWH or the Business that, if pending on
the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 3.16 or that relates to the consummation of the contemplated Transactions. 

(b) During the same period, Seller also shall promptly notify Buyer of the occurrence of any Breach of any covenant of Seller in this
Article 5 or of the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article 7 impossible or unlikely. 
 (c) During the same period, Buyer shall also promptly notify Seller of Buyer’s actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant of Seller under this
Agreement. 
 (d) Buyer’s receipt or disclosure of information pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not operate
as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by Seller in this Agreement (including Sections 9.1 and 11.2) and shall not be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedules. 

5.5 No Negotiation. From the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing Date or the date of termination of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, Seller agrees that it shall not (and shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that none of its officers, directors, or affiliates, or any investment banker, financial advisor,
attorney, accountant, or other advisor of Seller or its Affiliates (collectively, “Seller’s Representatives”)) take, directly or indirectly, any of the following actions with any party other than Buyer and its designees:
(i) solicit, knowingly encourage, initiate, or participate in any negotiations, inquiries, or discussions with respect to any offer or proposal to acquire all or any significant part of SWH, its business, material assets, the Assets, or equity
securities, whether by merger, consolidation, other business combination, purchase of capital stock, purchase of assets, license (but excluding non-exclusive licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business), lease, tender or exchange offer,
or otherwise (each of the foregoing, a “Restricted Transaction”); (ii) disclose, in connection with a Restricted Transaction, any nonpublic information to any Person other than Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives concerning
SWH’s business or properties or afford, in connection with a Restricted Transaction, to any Person other than Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives access to its properties, books, or records, except as required by Legal Requirements or in
accordance with a governmental request for information; (iii) enter into or execute any agreement relating to a Restricted Transaction; or (iv) make or authorize any public statement, recommendation, or solicitation in support of any
Restricted Transaction or any offer or proposal relating to a Restricted Transaction other than with respect to the Contemplated Transaction. If Seller is contacted by any third party expressing an interest in discussing a Restricted Transaction or
receives any offer or proposal with respect to a Restricted Transaction or any request for non-public information or inquiry that Seller reasonably believes could (if Seller responded affirmatively to such request) lead to a proposal or offer for a
Restricted 

  
 49 

 
Transaction, Seller shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day following Seller’s Knowledge of such contact, notify Buyer in writing of such contact (a “Notice
of Contact”). If Seller informs the contact that it is subject to a signed definitive acquisition agreement containing an exclusivity covenant and cannot discuss a proposal or offer for a Restricted Transaction and the contact does not promptly
withdraw the proposal or offer for a Restricted Transaction, the Notice of Contact shall include the identity of the party so contacting Seller. The Notice of Contact shall also include any information conveyed to Seller by such third party in
connection with such contact or relating to such Restricted Transaction, and shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day, advise Seller of any material modification or proposed modification thereto. Seller agrees that the
rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 5.5 shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such Breach or threatened breach
shall cause irreparable injury to Seller and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Seller.

Property (to the extent that Buyer elects or is required to obtain surveys), of any Encumbrances that are not Permitted Real Property Encumbrances and which do not reasonably satisfy Buyer or its lenders (“Title Deficiency Notice”). After
receipt of a Title Deficiency 

  
 50 

 
Notice from Buyer, Seller may then elect, by written notice given within five (5) days (“Title Notice Period”) following such notice that Seller agrees to cure any such
exception(s) prior to the Closing Date. If Seller does not elect to cure any such exception(s) by written notification within the Title Notice Period, or if Seller elects to cure any such exception(s) identified in the Title Deficiency Notice and
does not cure within a commercially reasonable period, Buyer shall have the right to bring an indemnification claim pursuant to the terms of Section 11 of this Agreement in the event that Buyer is damaged as a result of Seller’s
failure to cure such exception(s). 
 5.12 Seller’s Net Worth Covenant. For a period of eighteen (18) months
after the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain a net worth equal to at least $10,000,000, provided that if Buyer has brought any claims for indemnification under Article 11 during such period, then, until the last of such claims has been
resolved, Seller shall maintain a net worth equal to the lesser of (a) 150% of the total value of all such claims, or (b) $15,000,000.

Contemplated Transactions. Buyer also shall cooperate fully with Seller and use its reasonable best efforts with respect to all filings that Seller elects to make or, pursuant to Legal Requirements, shall be required to make in connection with the
Contemplated Transactions. Buyer also shall cooperate fully with Seller and use its reasonable best efforts in obtaining all Material Consents, provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to dispose of or make any change to its business in
order to comply with this Section 6.1. 
 6.2 Liquor License Consent Process. For each and every Restaurant,
Buyer shall, as applicable in each state and/or local licensing jurisdiction, (i) submit applications/forms providing notice of the change in ownership of membership interest in SWH to all appropriate liquor license agencies, as and when
required post Closing, or (ii) obtain pre-Closing (a) approval of the change in ownership of SWH from the liquor license agencies that require pre-Closing approval or (b) issuance of a new license to SWH. For any Restaurant located
within a jurisdiction that requires pre-Closing approval of the change of ownership of SWH or pre-Closing issuance of a new liquor license, in the event that Buyer is not successful in obtaining such pre-Closing approvals from the applicable liquor
license agency or agencies, Buyer shall enter an interim beverage management agreement with Seller, in a form customary in the relevant licensing jurisdiction by location, substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit 6.2,
(“Interim Beverage Management Agreement”), which Interim Beverage Management Agreement shall be modified as required under each state or local licensing jurisdiction’s requirements, customs and/or practices. Pursuant to the Interim
Beverage Management Agreement(s), Buyer shall operate the Restaurants thereunder using the liquor license(s) issued to Seller and/or SWH prior to the change in ownership, and until such time as (a) a new license is issued to Buyer or SWH or
(b) the change in ownership of SWH is approved by the applicable liquor license agency(ies). Buyer agrees to use its best efforts to obtain all Liquor License Agency Approvals in as expedited a basis as possible and Seller agrees to cooperate
in Buyer’s efforts in this regard, and to provide the information and documentation necessary in such effort. Subsequent to closing, Buyer shall be solely responsible for renewing all liquor licenses and

  
 51 

 
Permits and for the costs associated therewith, regardless of whether or not the Liquor License Agency Approvals have been received, and Seller shall cooperate in Buyer’s efforts to renew
the licenses and permits on which Liquor License Agency Approval has not been received, including but not limited to immediately providing Buyer with all forms and information received by Seller related to the licenses and by providing signatures
from officers still on file with the liquor license agencies as necessary to renew the liquor licenses and Permits. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that in many jurisdictions, (i) submission of a notice of change of ownership of a licensed entity
does not require Liquor License Agency Approval in order for Buyer to be permitted to continue to operate, and sell alcohol, pending receipt of Liquor License Agency Approval and (ii) that receipt of a formal Liquor License Agency Approval, in
jurisdictions where formal approvals are issued, of the change of ownership may take several months after the submission of the required notices or applications.

SWH for any reason, subject to its obligations under this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement.

with reasonable access to all such Records during normal business hours and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice. Seller shall provide Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access to Records that were not
transferred to Buyer but relate to the Business during normal business hours and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice.

 10.4 Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation. 

(a) Noncompetition. For a period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing
Date (the “Non-Compete Term”), Seller shall not and shall cause its Affiliates, Parent or any Acquired Subsidiary not to, anywhere in the United States (the “Restricted Area”), directly or indirectly invest in, own, manage,
operate, finance, control, advise, render services to or guarantee the obligations of any Person engaged in or planning to become engaged in any restaurant, bistro, bar or grill (including carry out or catering) which is targeted toward the upscale
family casual category and that primarily has a French décor or which has a menu that consists primarily of signature or highlighted French-themed cuisine items (“Competing Business”); provided, however, that Seller may purchase or
otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) 5% of any class of the securities of any Person (but may not otherwise participate in the activities of such Person) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have
been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 
 (b) Nonsolicitation. For a period
commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, neither Seller nor Buyer shall, and each shall cause its Affiliates, Parent or any Acquired Subsidiary not to, directly or indirectly hire, retain
or attempt to hire or retain any senior director or employee of higher rank, or of any restaurant manager of the other or any of its Affiliates or in any way interfere with the relationship between Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, or its
Affiliate and any of their respective senior directors or employees of higher rank or restaurant managers; provided, however, that both Seller and Buyer hereby agree that the hiring of any such employee of the other party hereto that responds to a
general advertisement or is recruited by a recruiting agency through a general search that is not directed at such employee would not violate this Section 10.4(b). 
 (c) Modification of Covenant. If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in Section 10.4(a) or
(b) is invalid or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any
invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. This Section 10.4(c) will be
enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. This Section 10.4(c) is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s legitimate business interests and the value of
the Business and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on Seller. 
 10.5 Tax Matters. 

(a) (i) Seller shall include the income of SWH and each of the Acquired Subsidiaries for the Tax period ending on the Closing Date in the
Bob Evans Group’s federal consolidated income Tax Return. Seller shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, on a basis reasonably consistent with past practice all Tax Returns of SWH and each Acquired Subsidiary with respect to
all Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall cooperate with the filing of each such Tax Return. 

  
 58 

	 	(ii)	With respect to income Tax Returns referred to in Section 10.5(a)(i) for the Tax period ending on the Closing Date (including the Bob Evans Group’s
federal consolidated income Tax Return), Buyer shall cause SWH and the Acquired Subsidiaries to prepare and provide to Seller one or more packages of information materials as are reasonably necessary for the purpose of preparing each such income Tax
Return (the “Tax Packages”). Each Tax Package shall be completed in all material respects in accordance with the standards that Seller has established for its other subsidiaries. If Buyer reasonably believes that such standards differ
materially from Seller’s past practices for SWH and the Acquired Subsidiaries, Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller setting forth in detail the specific differences. If within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice
Seller notifies Buyer that it disagrees that such standards differ materially from Seller’s past practices, Buyer and Seller will negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Buyer and Seller fail to resolve such dispute within ten
(10) days, such dispute shall be resolved by the Settlement Firm in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.7. If it is agreed or determined that such standards differ materially from Seller’s past practices for
the Acquired Subsidiaries, Seller shall (at Seller’s option) either bear all reasonable costs of preparing such Tax Packages in excess of those that would have been incurred had they been prepared in a manner consistent with Seller’s past
practices for SWH and the Acquired Subsidiaries or prepare such additional materials as may be necessary at its expense. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Tax Packages to Seller as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in
no event later than the earlier of (i) the date that is three (3) months after the Closing Date, and (ii) thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any applicable Tax Return; provided that if Seller notifies Buyer that Seller
wishes to devote its resources (and/or those of its agents), at Seller’s cost and expense, to facilitate the preparation of the Tax Packages on a more expedited basis, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller (and shall cause its
Affiliates, agents, auditors, representatives, officers and employees reasonably to cooperate with Seller), at a cost and expense shared equally by Buyer and Seller, in order to prepare the Tax Packages as quickly as reasonably possible thereafter.

 (b) Buyer shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any Tax Returns of SWH and the Acquired
Subsidiaries for Tax periods that begin on or before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date (collectively, the “Straddle Periods” and each a “Straddle Period”), and any other Tax Return described in
Section 10.5(c). Buyer shall deliver a draft copy of such Tax Returns for a Straddle Period to Seller for its review at least thirty (30) Business Days for Tax Returns filed annually, fifteen (15) Business Days for Tax Returns
filed monthly, seven (7) Business Days for Tax Returns filed semi-monthly, and three (3) Business 

  
 59 

 
Days for Tax Returns filed weekly, in each case prior to the due date thereof. Seller shall have the right to review all work papers and procedures used to prepare any such Tax Return. Seller
shall provide its comments to Buyer at least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of such Tax Returns and Buyer shall make all changes reasonably requested by Seller in good faith (unless Buyer is advised in writing by its independent
outside accountants or attorneys that such changes are contrary to applicable Legal Requirements). In the event that Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any dispute regarding the proper reporting of any items on such Tax Returns, such dispute
shall be resolved by the Settlement Firm in accordance with procedures similar to those set forth in Section 2.6. Buyer shall not permit SWH or any Acquired Subsidiary to take any action on or after the Closing Date (other than the
filing of Tax Returns in accordance with applicable Tax law) that is likely to increase the liability of Seller or the Bob Evans Group for Taxes (including any liability of Seller to indemnify Buyer for Taxes under this Agreement, or any Tax
liability resulting from the reduction of a Tax attribute). Buyer shall not prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any amendment to any Tax Return of SWH or any Acquired Subsidiary, or make or change any Tax election with respect to
Taxes of or relating to SWH or any Acquired Subsidiary, for any Tax period beginning on or prior to the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Seller. 
 (c) All real property Taxes, personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem Taxes and obligations levied on SWH or an Acquired Subsidiary, or on Seller with respect to the Business or the Assets, for a
Straddle Period, whether such Taxes are payable to a Governmental Body, a landlord or other third party, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date based upon, respectively, the number of calendar days in the portion of such Tax period ending on and
including the Closing Date, and the number of days in the portion of such Tax period commencing on the day after the Closing Date. If the Closing occurs before the Tax rate is established for the then-current Tax period, the proration of the
corresponding Taxes shall be on the basis of the Tax rate for the last preceding Tax period applied to the latest assessed valuation. Buyer shall be responsible for filing all Tax Returns relating to Taxes described in this
Section 10.5(c) required to be filed after the Effective Time. 
 (d) In the case of Taxes of SWH or any Acquired
Subsidiary for any Straddle Period, which Taxes are either (i) in whole or in part, based upon or measured by income, net worth, intangibles or gains, or (ii) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property
(including, without limitation, transfer taxes), the amount of such Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be equal to the amount that would have been payable had the relevant Tax year or period ended
on the Closing Date. 
 (e) Seller is entitled to any refunds or credits relating to Taxes for which it is liable pursuant to
this Section 10.5. If Buyer receives any refunds or credits which are the property of Seller under this Section 10.5(e), Buyer shall promptly pay the amount of such refunds or credits, net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred to obtain such refunds or credits, to the other party. 
 10.6 Further Assurances. The parties
shall cooperate reasonably with each other and with their respective Representatives in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement, and shall (a) furnish upon request to each

  
 60 

 
other such further information; (b) execute and deliver to each other such other documents; and (c) do such other acts and things, all as the other party may reasonably request for the
purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions. 
  

	11.	INDEMNIFICATION; REMEDIES 

11.1 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, and obligations in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule,
and the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 2.5 shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, subject to Section 11.10. 

11.2 Indemnification And Reimbursement By Seller. Seller will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, and its Representatives,
shareholders, Subsidiaries and Related Persons (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”), and will reimburse Buyer Indemnified Persons for any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense (including costs of investigation and defense and
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim (collectively, “Damages”), arising from or in connection with: 
 (a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Disclosure Schedule, (iii) any transfer instrument, or (iv) any transfer instrument
delivered pursuant to Section 2.5; 
 (b) any Breach of any covenant, agreement, or obligation of Seller in this
Agreement or in any transfer instrument delivered pursuant to Section 2.5; 
 (c) any Third-Party Claim based upon,
resulting from or arising out of the business, operations, properties, assets or obligations of Seller or any of its Affiliates conducted, existing or arising on or prior to the Closing Date; 

(d) any Broker Fee incurred by Seller, its Related Persons or their respective Representatives in connection with any of the Contemplated
Transactions; 
 (e) any Assumed Liabilities; or 
 (f) (i) any Taxes of SWH (or Seller or other Affiliate of SWH) or otherwise relating to the Business or the Assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, assets of the Acquired Subsidiaries) with respect
to any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, except to the extent that such Taxes are included as a liability in the computation of Closing Working Capital; or (ii) other Taxes of SWH (or Seller or other
Affiliate of SWH) due and payable at or prior to the Effective Time that becomes a Liability of Buyer by operation of contract or Legal Requirement, except to the extent that such Taxes are included as a liability in the computation of Closing
Working Capital. 
 11.3 Indemnification And Reimbursement By Buyer. Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller and
its Representatives, shareholders, Subsidiaries and Related Persons (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”), and will reimburse Seller indemnified Persons, for any Damages arising from or in connection with: 

  
 61 

 (a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any
certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; 
 (b) any Breach of any covenant or
obligation of Buyer in this Agreement or in any other certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; 
 (c) any Broker Fee incurred by Buyer (or its Representatives) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions; 
 (d) any Buyer Transaction Expense; or 
 (e) any obligations of Buyer not otherwise
assumed by Seller with respect to the Active Employees. 
 11.4 Limitations On Amount–Seller. Except as specifically
set forth in the proviso at the end of this Section 11.4, Buyer Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to recover from Seller under this Article 11 for an individual claim or group of related claims with respect to any Damages
if the amount of Damages that otherwise would be payable under this Article 11 for such claim or group of related claims does not exceed $15,000 (such claim or group of related claims, a “De Minimis Claim”). Seller shall also have
no liability with respect to any claim under this Agreement until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds $225,000 (the “Indemnity Basket”, and De Minimis Claims shall not be counted in determining whether the
Indemnity Basket has been exceeded), in which event Seller shall be liable for such Damages in excess of the Indemnity Basket up to $5,000,000 (the “Indemnity Cap”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
limitations set forth in this Section 11.4 shall not apply with respect to (i) claims arising from the fraudulent, willful, or intentional misrepresentation or omission of Seller, (ii) claims arising in respect of
Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, the first sentence only of 3.8(a) or 3.25, (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), (iii) the adjustments contemplated in Sections 2.6 and 2.7, or
(iv) claims arising in respect of Sections 11.2(d), (e), or (f). 
 11.5 Limitations On
Amount—Buyer. Except as specially set forth in the proviso at the end of this Section 11.5, Seller Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to recover from Buyer under this Article 11 for a De Minimis Claim. Buyer shall
also have no liability with respect to any claim under this Agreement until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds $225,000 (the “Indemnity Basket”, and De Minimis Claims shall not be counted in determining whether
the Indemnity Basket has been exceeded), in which event Buyer shall be liable for such Damages in excess of the Indemnity Basket up to an amount equal to the Indemnity Cap; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this
Section 11.5 shall not apply with respect to claims arising from the fraudulent, willful, or intentional misrepresentation or omission of Buyer, in respect of Section 4.4 (Brokers and Finders), or in respect of
Sections 11.3(c), (d), and (e). 

  
 62 

 11.6 Third-Party Claims. 

(a) Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Sections 11.2 or 11.3 (an “Indemnified
Person”) of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall promptly (and in any event within ten days after receipt thereof) give notice to the Person or Persons, as applicable, obligated to indemnify
under such Section (an “Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to
any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice. The Indemnified Person shall
promptly furnish or make available to the Indemnifying Party all information that it has with respect to such Third-Party Claim. 
 (b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 11.6(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim (other than such a Third-Party Claim relating to Taxes
or any Tax Return, as to which the provisions of Section 11.6(d) shall control), the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the
Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation of the Indemnified Person would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails
to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel
satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (except to the extent the Indemnified Person has other issues involved in the same dispute or to the extent resolution of the Third-Party Claim could affect liability of the Indemnified Person in other periods
or in respect of other issues). After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and conditioned upon continuing satisfaction of conditions (i) and (ii) of
this Section 11.6(b), the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article 11 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with
respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim. No compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the
Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s Consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any
Person; (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person; (C) the settlement could not give rise to any other liability of the Indemnified Person; and (D) the Indemnified Person shall
have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims effected without its Consent. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not,
within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given (or, if later, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party furnishes or makes available reasonable information it has with respect such Third-Party Claim), give
notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified
Person. 

  
 63 

 (c) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article
11, and subject to Section 11.6(d): (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings
at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in
order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim. 
 (d) If any Third-Party Claim relating to Taxes for
which Seller has an indemnification obligation under Section 11.2, is asserted against Buyer, any of its Affiliates, or any Acquired Subsidiary, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of such claim or demand within sufficient time that would
allow Seller to timely respond to such claim or demand, and shall give Seller such information with respect thereto as Seller may reasonably request; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve Seller from any obligation
hereunder except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually prejudices the rights of Seller. Seller may, at its own expense, participate in and, upon notice to Buyer, assume the defense of any claim, suit, action, litigation or
proceeding (including any Tax audit) relating to Taxes for which Seller has an indemnification obligation under Section 11.2. If Seller assumes such defense and if the relevant claim, suit, action, litigation or proceeding relates to a
Straddle Period, Buyer shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by Seller, and Seller shall not settle such claim without Buyer’s
prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Whether or not Seller chooses to defend or prosecute any claim, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof, to the extent that such parties are
not materially prejudiced thereby. Seller shall not be liable under Section 11.2 for (i) any Tax claimed or demanded by any Governmental Body, the payment of which was made without Seller’s prior written consent (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld) and for which Seller has a valid objection to the payment, unless Seller refused to participate in the proceedings and assume the defense, or (ii) any settlements entered into without the consent of Seller (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld), or resulting from any claim, suit, action, litigation or proceeding in which Seller was not permitted an opportunity to participate. 
 11.7 Other Claims. A claim for which a party is entitled to indemnification hereunder for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom
indemnification is sought. 
 11.8 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the
Indemnifying Person, and the Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person (including by any of its
Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Person or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation, warranty, or covenant is, was, or might be Breached, or by reason of the Indemnified
Person’s waiver of any condition set forth in Article 7 or Article 8, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if an Indemnified Person has actual knowledge of such a Breach by the Indemnifying Person prior to
Closing, the Indemnified Person or its Representative shall give notice as soon as practicable to the Indemnifying Person of such Breach. 

  
 64 

 11.9 Right of Set-off. For the duration of the Note, Buyer shall have the right to
withhold and set off against the amount owed to Seller under the Note for any Damages to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Article 11 or any other documents or agreements contemplated by this Agreement, subject to
the following procedure: If any Buyer Indemnified Person makes a claim for indemnity pursuant to this Article 11 (a “Set-off Claim”), Buyer shall deliver to Seller a written notice (a “Set-off Notice”) setting forth
in reasonable detail the amount, nature and basis of the Set-off Claim by the Buyer Indemnified Person. If Buyer has not received a written objection to such Set-off Claim or portion thereof or the amount of such Set-off Claim from Seller within ten
(10) Business Days following Seller’s receipt of such notice, the parties hereby agree that the amount owed to Seller by Buyer under the Note shall be immediately reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such Set-off Claim. If Seller in
good faith delivers to Buyer a written objection (a “Dispute Notice”) to any Set-off Claim or portion thereof or the amount of such claim within ten (10) Business Days following Seller’s receipt of such Set-off Notice, then the
amount due to Seller under the Note shall not be reduced for such a Set-off Claim until (i) the parties agree in writing to reduce the amount due to Seller under the Note in respect of the Dispute Notice, or (ii) a final and non-appealable
order of any court of competent jurisdiction determines the amount by which the amount due to Seller under the Note in respect of the Dispute Notice shall be reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller objects in part to the amount of the
Set-off Claim, the amount due to Seller under the Note shall, after the lapse of the ten (10) Business Day period, be reduced by an amount equal to the portion of the Set-off Claim not objected to by Seller. Upon the agreement of the parties
pursuant to section (i) or an order under section (ii) above, the amount owed to Seller under the Note shall be reduced in accordance with such agreement or order. 
 11.10 Other Limitations. 
 (a) Solely for purposes of calculating Damages
under this Article 11 (but not for purposes of determining whether or not a Breach of a representation or warranty exists), any Breach of a representation or warranty or covenant shall be determined without regard to any material, Material
Adverse Effect or similar qualifier. 
 (b) Except with respect to any claim with respect to (i) a fraudulent, willful or
intentional misrepresentation or omission, (ii) Sections 11.2(d), (e) or (f), or (iii) Breach of a Fundamental Representation (as to which a claim shall survive for a period of 30 days after the applicable
statute of limitations), Liability for Breach of any of the representations and warranties made in this Agreement will survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months and thereafter neither party hereto may bring any claim, suit or
cause of action against the other party for Breach of any of the representations and warranties under this Agreement. To the extent that any covenants or other agreements of Seller or Buyer are performable after the Closing, such covenants or other
agreements will survive for the periods specified. 
 (c) All indemnification payments under this Article 11 shall be
paid by the Indemnifying Person net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party (i) under applicable insurance policies after taking into account all deductibles paid in connection therewith or (ii) from any other Person alleged to
be responsible therefor. 

  
 65 

 (d) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, in no event shall any
Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any Damages other than those that directly and naturally arise from or relate to, and are the probable and reasonably foreseeable result of the Breach or alleged Breach of this Agreement
(except, in each case, to the extent actually payable by an Indemnified Party to a Third Person, and excluding speculative damages). 
 11.11 Indemnity Payment Characterization. All indemnification payments under this Article 11 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price. 

11.12 Exclusive Remedy. Except in case of a fraudulent, willful or intentional misrepresentation or omission, the parties
acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for Damages (other than claims arising from fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the Contemplated Transactions) for any Breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 11. Nothing in this
Section 11.12 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled. 
  

	12.	CONFIDENTIALITY

 (a) As used in this Article 12, the term “Confidential
Information” includes any and all of the following information of Seller or Buyer that has been or may hereafter be disclosed in any form, whether in writing, orally, electronically or otherwise, or otherwise made available by observation,
inspection or otherwise by either party (Buyer on the one hand or Seller, on the other hand) or its Representatives (collectively, a “Disclosing Party”) to the other party or its Representatives (collectively, a “Receiving
Party”): 
  

	 	(i)	all information that is a trade secret under applicable trade secret or other law; 

 

	 	(ii)	all information concerning product specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples,

Contemplated Transactions. 

 (b) Any trade secrets of a Disclosing Party shall also be entitled to all of the
protections and benefits under applicable trade secret law and any other applicable law. If any information that a Disclosing Party deems to be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for purposes of
this Article 12, such information shall still be considered Confidential Information of that Disclosing Party for purposes of this Article 12 to the extent included within the definition. In the case of trade secrets, each of Buyer,
Seller hereby waives any requirement that the other party submit proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other security. 
 12.2 Restricted Use Of Confidential Information 
 (a) Each Receiving Party
acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and agrees that such Confidential Information (i) shall be kept confidential by the Receiving Party; (ii) shall not be used for
any reason or purpose other than to evaluate and consummate the Contemplated Transactions; and (iii) without limiting the foregoing, shall not be disclosed by the Receiving Party to any Person, except in each case as otherwise expressly
permitted by the terms of this Agreement or with the prior written consent of an authorized representative of Seller with respect to Confidential Information of Seller (each, a “Seller Contact”) or an authorized representative of Buyer
with respect to Confidential Information of Buyer (each, a “Buyer Contact”). Each of Buyer and Seller shall disclose the Confidential Information of the other party only to its Representatives who require such material for the purpose of
evaluating the Contemplated Transactions and are informed by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, of the obligations of this Article 12 with respect to such information. Each of Buyer and Seller shall (iv) enforce the terms of this
Article 12 as to its respective Representatives; (v) take such action to the extent necessary to cause its Representatives to comply with the terms and conditions of this Article 12; and (vi) be responsible and liable for any
Breach of the provisions of this Article 12 by it or its Representatives. 

  
 67 

 (b) Unless and until this Agreement is terminated, Seller shall maintain as confidential any
Confidential Information (including for this purpose any information of Seller of the type referred to in Sections 12.1(a)(i), 12.1(a)(ii) and 12.1(a)(iii), whether or not disclosed to Buyer) of Seller relating to any of the
Business. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller may use any Confidential Information of Seller before the Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business, but solely in connection with the transactions permitted by Section 5.2.

 (c) From and after the Closing, the provisions of Section 12.2(a) above shall not apply to or restrict in any
manner Buyer’s use of any Confidential Information of Seller relating to the Business. 
 (d) From and after the Closing,
Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all Confidential Information concerning the Business. 

12.3 Exceptions. Sections 12.2(a) and 12.2(b) do not apply to that part of the Confidential Information of a
Disclosing Party that a Receiving Party demonstrates (a) was, is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a Breach of this Article 12 or the Confidentiality Agreement by the Receiving Party or its
Representatives; (b) was or is developed by the Receiving Party independently of and without reference to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (c) was, is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a nonconfidential

or at law or in equity, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the state of Delaware or any other
jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. The parties hereto hereby agree and consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and in
the absence of such federal jurisdiction, the parties hereto hereby agree and consent to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, and hereby waive the right to assert the lack of personal or

13.6 Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.
Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or

specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained herein or the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or the items so
included or other items, are or are not material, and neither party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the 

  
 71 

 
Disclosure Schedule in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedule is or is not

agreements contained herein. The headings contained in the Disclosure Schedule are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to modify or affect the interpretation of the information contained herein or in the Disclosure Schedule.

sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other

Section 13.9.

any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent
not held invalid or unenforceable.

d. A breach shall have occurred under Section 3.2; 
 e. Borrower or SWH, or any direct or indirect subsidiary of SWH (other than a subsidiary formed solely or primarily for the purpose of holding a liquor permit), shall generally fail to pay its debts as
they mature, or shall file a petition commencing a voluntary case concerning either Borrower under any chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any involuntary case shall be commenced against Borrower under the United States Bankruptcy Code
and such involuntary case shall not have been dismissed within 90 days after such filing; and 
 f. Any representation, warranty
or statement made by Borrower herein or otherwise in writing in connection herewith, or in any financial statement, EBITDA Calculation, certificate or statement signed by any duly authorized officer or employee of Borrower and furnished pursuant to
this Note shall be materially false, incorrect or incomplete when made and result in a material and adverse effect on Lender. 

5.2. Remedies Upon Default. Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, Lender may do one or more of the following:

 (a) Acceleration. Declare the entire unpaid balance of this Note immediately due and payable, whereupon the principal
of and all accrued but unpaid interest on this Note (at the rate set forth herein) shall be forthwith due and payable without demand, diligence, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to
accelerate, notice of acceleration and all other notices or further actions of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, for itself and for any of its successors and assigns. 

 (b) Rights Under Applicable Laws. Exercise any and all rights afforded to Lender by
the laws of any applicable jurisdiction by this Note, by any law or in equity or otherwise, as Lender shall deem appropriate. 

(c) Litigation. File and prosecute suit against Borrower to collect the Obligations due, and for any other remedy, legal or
equitable, to which Lender may show itself entitled. 
 (d) Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law, including without limitation common law rights of setoff, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has obtained a final, non-appealable judgment
from a court of competent jurisdiction against Borrower under this Note, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all indebtedness at any time held or owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower (including, without
limitation, any amounts then owing by Lender to either Borrower under other contracts) against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Lender under the Note, including without limitation all claims of any nature or
description arising out of or connected with the Note, irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. 

5.3. Expenses. Borrower shall pay to Lender, on demand and as part of the Obligations, all reasonable costs and expenses,
including court costs, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in exercising any of its rights or remedies hereunder or enforcing any of the terms, conditions or provisions hereof, in any event after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default. 
 5.4. Acceptance. The acceptance by Lender at any time and from time to
time of part payment of the Obligations shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default then existing. No waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other Event of Default then existing or subsequently
occurring. 
 5.5. Cumulative Rights. All rights available to Lender hereunder shall be cumulative of and in addition to
all of the rights granted to Lender at law, in equity or otherwise, whether or not the Obligations are then due and payable and whether or not Lender shall have instituted suit for collection or other action in connection with this Note. Any or all
of such rights and/or remedies may be exercised successively or concurrently, as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.

 7.6. Usury Savings Clause. Under no circumstances shall the amounts paid or agreed to be paid
hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under applicable usury law (the “Maximum Rate”) and the payment of the Obligations hereunder are hereby limited accordingly. If under any circumstances whatsoever, whether by reason
of advancement or acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or otherwise, the aggregate amount paid hereunder shall include 

 
amounts which by law are deemed interest and which would exceed the Maximum Rate, Borrower stipulates that the payment and collection of such excess amounts shall have been and will be deemed to
have been the result of a mistake on the part of Borrower and Lender, and the party receiving such excess payments shall promptly credit such excess (to the extent only of such interest payments in excess of the Maximum Rate) against the unpaid
principal amount of the Obligations to which such excess may lawfully be credited, and any portion of such excess payments not capable of being so credited shall be refunded to Borrower. 

7.7. Waiver. Neither the failure nor delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other further exercise of any other right, power or privilege, nor shall any course of dealing between Lender and Borrower operate as a waiver of any right,
power or privilege of Lender. 
 7.8. Modification, Etc. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Note, nor consent to any departure hereunder by Borrower, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, with respect to modifications and amendments, by Borrower. Any such waiver or consent shall only be
effective with respect to the specific instance and for the specific person for which the same is given. No notice or demand made to Borrower in any event shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances unless required by applicable law. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower, intending to be legally bound hereby, has duly

 Exhibit 10.2 
 SWH MIMI’S CAFÉ, LLC 
 RETENTION BONUS AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
PLAN 
 Adopted as of January 28, 2013 
 Article 1 – Introduction 
 1.1 Purpose of Plan. 

(a) Mimi’s Café LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, has determined to sell all of its interest in and to SWH
Mimi’s Café, LLC, a California limited liability company (formerly known as SWH Corporation, a California corporation (the “Mimi’s”)), including without limitation all of the capital stock of each of Mimi’s
subsidiaries (the “Transaction”). 
 (b) Both Mimi’s and Bob Evan’s Farms, Inc. a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”) recognize that the Transaction, and the uncertainty and questions that it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of key management personnel to the detriment of Mimi’s and
the Company. As such, the Company desires to provide certain enhancements to preserve the continuous employment of key management personnel during the process involving the Transaction, and for a period of time after the closing of the Transaction.

 (c) The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has therefore adopted (or caused to be
adopted) this Retention Bonus and Change in Control Plan (the “Plan”) as of January 28, 2013 to enable certain key management personnel who are selected as Participants pursuant to Article 3 to devote their full and continued
attention to: (i) Mimi’s and the Company’s business affairs during the period preceding the Transaction; and (ii) SWH Mimi’s Café Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with any and all affiliates,
parent companies and subsidiaries, “LDA”) following the Transaction. At Closing, LDA will fund the Transaction with a combination of cash and seller financing (which seller financing is to be repaid, among other ways, if certain EBITDA
thresholds are met), and therefore, the Company believes it is in the Company’s best interest if the Participants are provided certain benefits hereunder following the Transaction. 

(d) The Plan provides that upon the Closing Date (as defined herein), a Participant shall be entitled to the Retention Payments
described in Article 6 and, in addition, if a Participant is Terminated as described Section 4.2 during the Protected Period (as defined herein), the Participant shall further be entitled to the Change in Control Benefits described in Article

 4.1 Retention Payments. In order to receive the Retention Payments, one of the following must be accurate as of the
Closing Date: (a) the Participant must be an employee of the Company, (b) the Company must have Terminated the Participant without Cause subsequent to the Effective Date, or (c) the Participant has Terminated for Good Reason
subsequent to the Effective Date by delivering to the Company a written notice that specifies in reasonable detail 

  
 -4-

 
the facts and circumstances giving rise to Good Reason within 90 days after the event constituting Good Reason first arises and the Company does not cure such Good Reason event within 30 days
after the notice is delivered (although the Company shall not be entitled to cure a Good Reason listed in Section 2.15(a) or a reduction in Mr. Mears auto allowance), or the Company does not contest that Good Reason exists. It shall be an
express condition precedent of the Company’s obligation to make any payments under this Section 4.1 that the Closing Date actually occur. 
 4.2 Change in Control Benefits. If, during the Protected Period either (a)(i) the Company Terminates the Participant without Cause prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) LDA
terminates the Participant without Cause on or subsequent to the Closing Date or (b) a Participant Terminates for Good Reason by delivering to the Company a written notice that specifies in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis upon which the Participant believes that Good Reason has arisen within the earlier of 90 days after the event constituting Good Reason first arises or the end of the Protected Period and, provided that the Company does not
cure such Good Reason event (or cause LDA to cure such Good Reason event if subsequent to the Closing Date) within 30 days after the notice is delivered (although the Company / LDA (as applicable) shall not be entitled to cure a Good Reason listed
in Section 2.15(a) or a reduction in Mr. Mears auto allowance), or the Company / LDA (as applicable) does not contest that Good Reason exists; then the Company shall pay or provide to the Participant the Change in Control Benefits
described in Article 5. For purposes of clarity, provided that the Participant provides the written notice described in Section 4.2(b) during the Protected Period, the Participant shall be entitled to the Change in Control Benefits even if the
Company fails to cure the Good Reason event or does not contest that Good Reason exists after the end of the Protected Period. 
 If a
Participant Terminates for any reason other than described in Section 4.2, including, but not limited to, death, disability, voluntary retirement, termination by the Company for Cause, or voluntary resignation (other than for Good Reason), no
Change in Control Benefits shall be paid or due to or on behalf of the Participant under this Plan at any time. 
 Article
5 – Change in Control Benefits 
 5.1 Change in Control Benefits. If a Participant is Terminated as described in
Section 4.2 entitling the Participant to Change in Control Benefits, the Company shall: 
 (a) Where such
termination occurs prior to the Closing Date, continue to pay the Participant’s Base Salary and other benefits through the Date of Termination and also pay the Participant the value of any unused vacation or other paid-time off determined under
the Company’s personnel policy. These amounts shall be based on the Base Salary and benefits in effect before the Participant was notified of his or her Termination. 
 (b) Pay the Participant the “Change in Control Payment” indicated on the Exhibit A for such Participant. 
 (c) For 12 months after the Participant’s Date of Termination, maintain in full force and effect, for the Participant’s continued benefit (and that of all family members and other
dependents who were enrolled in the programs on the Participant’s Date of Termination) all life, 

  
 -5-

 
medical, dental and/or vision insurance programs in which the Participant (or members of the Participant’s family or other dependents) was participating or was covered immediately before the
Participant’s Date of Termination. If the terms of any of the programs just described do not allow the continued participation described in the preceding sentence, the Company shall (i) provide benefits that are substantially
similar (including eligibility conditions, conditions on benefits, the value of benefits and the scope of coverage) to those provided by the life, medical, dental and/or vision insurance programs in which the Participant (or members of the
Participant’s family or other dependents) was participating immediately before the Participant’s Date of Termination and (ii) ensure that any eligibility or other conditions on benefits under these programs, including
deductibles and co-payments, shall be administered by applying the Participant’s experience under any predecessor program in which the Participant (or members of the Participant’s family or other dependents) was participating immediately
before the Participant’s Date of Termination. With respect to this Section 5.1(c), any benefits or payments relating to medical, dental and/or vision insurance that are provided after completion of the applicable continuation period
permitted under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, as amended, and any benefits or payments relating to life insurance shall be subject to the following: (A) the benefits or payments provided during any taxable year
of the Participant shall not affect the benefits or payments to be provided to the Participant in any other taxable year; (B) reimbursement of any eligible expense must be made on or before the last day of the Participant’s
taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred; and (C) the right to such benefits or payments is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit or payment. To the extent that any benefit extended
under this Section 5.1(c) would result in taxable compensation for the Participant, the Participant shall be solely responsible for any such taxes. 
 (d) If the benefits under Section 5.1(c) cannot be provided to the Participant, or if such continuation is not allowed by the applicable plan(s), then immediate payment of the fair market
value of equivalent benefits shall be made to the Participant. It is the intent of the Plan that the actual benefits shall be provided to the Participant, and it is not the Company’s option to provide a payment in lieu of or instead of
providing the benefits. 
 (e) Where such termination occurs prior to the Closing Date, then in addition to the payments
and benefits described above, the Participant shall receive any other change in control benefits to which the Participant is entitled under any other plan, program or agreement with the Company or any member of its Controlled Group. Such benefits
shall be provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan, program or agreement. 
 5.2 Form and Timing of
Change in Control Payments. Unless a payment delay is required under Section 8.4, the Change in Control Benefits described in this Article 5 shall be made in a single lump sum or begin, as the case may be, no later than 30 days after
the Participant’s Date of Termination. 
 5.3 Treatment Under Code Section 280G. 

(a) Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or benefit provided
under this Plan, when combined with payments and benefits under all other plans, programs or agreements with the Company, would be subject 

  
 -6-

 
to an Excise Tax, then the amounts payable to the Participant under the Plan shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Safe Harbor Cap. The reduction of the amounts payable hereunder, if
applicable, shall be made by reducing first the cash payments under Section 5.1(d), if any, then by reducing the cash payments under Section 5.1(b) and last by reducing the continued access to life, medical and dental insurance under
Section 5.1(c). For purposes of reducing the payments and benefits to the Safe Harbor Cap, only amounts payable under the Plan (and no other payments) shall be reduced. 
 (b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 5.3 shall be made by Ernst & Young (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting
calculations both to the Company and the Participant within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Company or the Participant that there has been a payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event (i) the Board shall determine prior to the Transaction that the Accounting Firm is precluded from performing such services under applicable auditor independence rules or (ii) the Audit Committee of the
Board determines prior to the Transaction that it does not want the Accounting Firm to perform such services because of auditor independence concerns or (iii) the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual,
entity or group effecting the Transaction, the Audit Committee shall appoint another nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm
hereunder). If payments are reduced to the Safe Harbor Cap, the Accounting Firm shall provide a reasonable opinion to the Participant that he or she is not required to report any Excise Tax on his or her federal income tax return. All fees, costs
and expenses (including, but not limited to, the costs of retaining experts) of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Company. In the event the Accounting Firm determines that the payments shall be reduced to the Safe Harbor Cap, it shall
furnish the Participant with a written opinion to such effect. The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant. 
 (c) If any good faith dispute arises regarding the determination of a payment of an Excise Tax, then the Company shall pay any and all of the Participant’s professional fees and expenses
relating to such dispute. 
 Article 6 – Retention Payments 

6.1 Bonus Payments. On the Closing Date, if a Participant is eligible for payments and benefits under Section 4.1, the Company shall
pay to such Participant an amount equal to the sum of the “Retention Performance Bonus” and the “Retention Sale Bonus” awarded to the Participant as indicated on the Exhibit A for such Participant attached hereto and incorporated
by reference herein. 
 6.2 Equity / 401(k)Vesting. On the Closing Date, if a Participant is eligible for payments and benefits
under Section 4.1, the Company shall accelerate the vesting of all previously granted forms of equity, including, but not limited to stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units, so that they are immediately vested per the terms of
the plan and grant agreement under which they were issued; provided that to the extent any such equity grants are subject to Code Section 409A, the payment date with respect to such grant shall not be accelerated if it would result in an
impermissible acceleration under Code Section 409A. Additionally, all 

  
 -7-

 
employer contributions to the Company’s 401(k) and Bob Evans Executive Deferral Plans (and howsoever evidenced whether in terms of cash or stock) shall likewise be immediately accelerated
and vested. 
 6.3 Form and Timing of Bonus Payments. Any amounts determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1 shall
be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum payment on the Closing Date, unless another date is expressly stated in this Plan. 
 Article 7 – Conditions Affecting Payments 
 7.1 Other Benefits.
Except as expressly provided in this Plan, a Participant’s right to receive the payments and benefits described in Article 5 and Article 6 shall not decrease the amount of, or otherwise adversely affect, any other benefits payable to the
Participant under any plan, program or agreement between the Participant and the Company or any member of its Controlled Group. 
 7.2 No
Mitigation. The Participant is not required to mitigate the amount of any payment described in this Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in Article 5 or Article 6 be
reduced by any compensation the Participant earns in any capacity after Termination or by reason of the Participant’s receipt of or right to receive any retirement or other benefits on or after Termination. 

7.3 Withholding. The amount of any payment made under this Plan shall be reduced by amounts the Company reasonably determines that it is
required to withhold with respect to any income, wage or employment taxes imposed on the payment. 
 7.4 Payment Delay Required By Code
Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a Specified Employee on the Date of Termination and the Participant is entitled to a payment and/or a benefit under the Plan that is required to be
delayed pursuant to Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then such payment or benefit, as the case may be, shall not be paid or provided (or begin to be paid or provided) until the first business day of the seventh month following the Date of
Termination or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. The first payment that can be made to the Participant following such postponement period shall include the cumulative amount of any payments or benefits that could not be paid or
provided during such postponement period due to the application of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i). 
 Article 8 –
Separation Agreement and Participant Obligations 
 8.1 Separation Agreement. The obligations of the Company to pay or
provide the payments and benefits described in Article 5 and Article 6 are each contingent on the Participant’s (for him/herself, his/her heirs, legal representatives and assigns) agreement to execute a separation or like agreement in the
form and substance attached as Exhibit B (subject to revision reasonably necessary to account for changes in applicable laws), containing a general release of the Company, all members of its Controlled Group and their officers, directors, agents and
employees from any claims or causes of action of any kind that the Participant might have, regarding his/her employment or the termination of that employment and shall require that the 

  
 -8-

 
Participant acknowledge and agree to be subject to the Participant obligations set forth in Article 8 of the Plan (the “Release”). The Participant understands that the release portion
of the agreement shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by law to all claim(s) he or she might have under any federal, state or local statute or ordinance, or the common law, for employment discrimination, wrongful discharge, breach of
contract, violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Americans with
Disabilities Act, or the Family and Medical Leave Act, and all other claims related in any way to the Participant’s employment or the termination of that employment. 
 8.2 Confidential Information. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, a Participant expressly agrees to keep and maintain Confidential Information confidential and not, at any time
during or subsequent to the Participant’s employment with the Company or any member of its Controlled Group, to use any Confidential Information for the Participant’s own benefit or to divulge, disclose or communicate any Confidential
Information to any person or entity in any manner except (a) to employees or agents of the Company or any member of its Controlled Group that need the Confidential Information to perform their duties on behalf of the Company or any
member of its Controlled Group or (b) in the performance of the Participant’s duties to the Company. The Participant also agrees to notify the Company promptly of any circumstance the Participant believes may legally compel the
disclosure of Confidential Information and to give this notice before disclosing any Confidential Information. 
 8.3
Non-Solicitation. The Participant agrees that during the two year period following the Closing Date, he or she shall not, either directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others,
(a) solicit or divert, or attempt to solicit or divert any person then employed by the Company or any member of its Controlled Group; or (b) hire or attempt to hire any person then employed by the Company or any member of its
Controlled Group. 
 8.4 Non-Disparagement. Each of the Participant and the Company agrees that they shall not make or publish any
statement (orally or in writing) or instigate, assist or participate in the making or publication of any such statement, which would libel, slander or disparage (whether or not such disparagement legally constitutes libel or slander) the other party
(or in the case of the Company, also any member of its Controlled Group or their officers, directors and employees, or any person affiliated with the Company, or the reputations of any of its past or present shareholders, officers, directors,
agents, representatives and employees) unless compelled to do so by valid subpoena or other court order, and in such case only after first notifying the other party in advance of such subpoena or court order. 

8.5 Effect of Breach of Obligations. If a Participant materially breaches any obligation contained in this Article 8: 

(a) If that breach occurs prior to the Participant’s Termination, his or her participation in this Plan shall terminate as of
the date of the breach, even if the fact of the breach becomes apparent at a later date, and no amounts shall be due under this Plan; or 

  
 -9-

 (b) If that breach occurs or becomes apparent after the Participant’s
Termination, no amounts shall be due under this Plan and the Participant must repay any amounts paid under either Article 5 or Article 6 of this Plan. 
 8.6 Enforceability. To the extent any provision of this Article 8 shall be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted and the remainder of such provision shall be unaffected
and shall continue in full force and effect. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, should the duration or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by any provision of this Article 7 be in excess of that which is valid
and enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities which may validly and enforceably be covered. The Participant acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and
expressly stipulates that this Article 8 shall be given the construction that renders the provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law. 

Article 9 – Administration of the Plan 
 9.1 Administrator. The administration of the Plan shall be under the supervision of the Administrator. The Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to make eligibility
determinations, all necessary factual determinations and to construe terms under this Plan. The Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to delegate its authority to any committee or individual and to hire such accountants, counsel,
actuaries, consultants or other experts it determines necessary for the administration of this Plan. 
 9.2 Reliance on Tables,
Etc. In administering the Plan, the Administrator shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to rely conclusively on all tables, valuations, certificates, opinions and reports which are furnished by, or in accordance with the
instructions or recommendations of accountants, counsel, actuaries, consultants or other experts employed or engaged by the Administrator. 

9.2 Indemnification of Administrator. The Company agrees to indemnify and to defend to the fullest extent permitted by law any member of
the Board serving as the Administrator and any employee assisting the Administrator in connection with its duties (including any individual who formerly served as a member of the Board or who assisted the Administrator), against all liabilities,
damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement of any claims approved by the Board) incurred by the Administrator or such employee in connection with the administration of this Plan, including but not
limited to the application of the Claims and Reviews Procedures set forth herein. 
 Article 10 – Duration,
Amendment and Termination 
 10.1 Duration. This Plan shall remain in effect until terminated as provided in
Section 10.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan shall continue in full force and effect and shall not terminate or expire until the later of (a) the date on which all Participants who become entitled to any payments or
benefits hereunder shall have received such payments and benefits in full or (b) eighteen consecutive calendar months have elapsed after the Closing Date. 

  
 -10-

 10.2 No Amendment and Termination. This Plan may not be terminated or amended in any manner
which would adversely affect the rights or potential rights of Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may amend Exhibit A as necessary to reflect the addition of persons as Participants from time to time. 

Article 11 – Successors / Binding Agreement 
 11.1 Successors. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company to unconditionally assume all of the obligations of the Company hereunder. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall constitute Good Reason hereunder and shall
entitle the Participants to payments and benefits in the same amount and on the same terms as the Participants would be entitled hereunder if they had satisfied the requirements of Section 4.2, except that for purposes of implementing the
foregoing, the date on which any succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. 
 11.2 Binding Agreement.
The benefits provided under this Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the
Participant shall die while any amounts would be payable to the Participant hereunder had the Participant continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan to such person
or persons appointed in writing by the Participant to receive such amounts or, if no person is so appointed, to the Participant’s estate. 
 Article 12 – Miscellaneous 
 12.1 Elections and Notices.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, all elections and notices of every kind under this Plan shall be made on forms prepared by the Company or shall be made in such other manner as permitted or required by the Company,
including through electronic means, over the internet or otherwise. An election shall be deemed made when received by the Company (or its designated agent, but only in cases where the designated agent has been appointed for the purpose of receiving
such election), which may waive any defects in form. 
 If not otherwise specified by this Plan or the Company, any notice or
filing required or permitted to be given to the Company under the Plan shall be delivered to the principal office of the Company, directed to the attention of the president or chief executive officer for the Company or his or her successor. Such
notice shall be deemed given on the date of delivery. 
 Notice to the Participant shall be deemed given when mailed (or sent by
telecopy) to the Participant’s work or home address as shown on the records of the Company or, at the option of the Company, to the Participant’s e-mail address as shown on the records of the Company. It is the Participant’s
responsibility to ensure that the Participant’s addresses are kept up to date on the records of the Company. In the case of notices affecting multiple Participants, the notices may be given by general distribution at the Participants’ work
locations. 

  
 -11-

 12.2 Governing Law; Validity. To the extent not preempted by Federal law, the Plan, and all
benefits and agreements hereunder, and any and all disputes in connection therewith, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict or choice of law principles which
might otherwise refer the construction, interpretation or enforceability of this Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. 
 12.3
Employment Not Guaranteed. Nothing contained in the Plan nor any action taken thereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company. 

 

	12.4	Funding. Benefits are paid from the Company’s general assets. 

 12.5 Invalidity. In the event any provision of this Plan is held to be illegal or invalid, the remaining provisions of the Plan shall not be affected thereby. 

12.6 Code Section 409A. The Plan shall be interpreted, construed and operated to reflect the intent of the Company that all aspects of
the Plan shall be interpreted either to be exempt from the provisions of Code Section 409A or, to the extent subject to Code Section 409A, comply with Code Section 409A and any regulations and other guidance thereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 10, this Plan may be amended at any time, without the consent of any Participant, to avoid the application of Code Section 409A in a particular circumstance or to the extent determined
necessary or desirable to satisfy any of the requirements under Code Section 409A, but the Company shall not be under any obligation to make any such amendment. Nothing in the Plan shall provide a basis for any person to take action against the
Company based on matters covered by Code Section 409A, including the tax treatment of any award made under the Plan, and the Company shall not under any circumstances have any liability to any Participant or other person for any taxes,
penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable under the Plan, including taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Code Section 409A. 
 12.7 Legal Fees and Expenses. In the event either party hereto shall institute litigation against the other party hereto relating to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the
prevailing party in such litigation (as determined following a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be entitled to recover from the other party any and all attorneys’ and related fees and expenses incurred
by the prevailing party in such litigation. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be executed by its duly authorized
officer effective as of the date first set forth above.
