 the Corporation in connection with the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of
 (i) a majority, by vote or value, of the capital stock, partnership
 interests, membership interests, or other equity interests of another Person
 or (ii) all or substantially all of the assets of another Person. 

 
	
      (b)     “Corporation
 Securities” means (i) shares of common stock of the Corporation, (ii) shares
 of preferred stock of the Corporation, (iii) warrants, rights, or options
 (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.382-2T(h)(4)(v)) to

 treated as “stock” of the Corporation pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section
 1.382-2T(f)(18). 

 
	
      (c)     “Percentage
 Stock Ownership” means percentage stock ownership as determined in accordance
 with Treasury Regulation Section 1.382-2T(g), (h), (j), and (k).

 
	
      (d)     “Five-Percent
 Shareholder” means a Person or group of Persons that (i) is identified as a
 “5-percent shareholder” of the Corporation pursuant to Treasury Regulation
 Section 1.382-2T(g)(1) or (ii) would be treated, under Treasury Regulation
 Section 1.382-2T(g), (h), (j), and (k), as owning 5% of the common stock of
 the Corporation.

 
	
      (e)     “Person”
 means an individual, corporation, estate, trust, association, company,
 partnership, joint venture or similar organization.

 
	
      (f)     “Prohibited
 Distributions” means any dividends or other distributions that were received
 from the Corporation by a Purported Transferee or Purported Holder with
 respect to Excess Securities.

 
	
      (g)     “Prohibited
 Transfer” means any purported Transfer of Corporation Securities to the
 extent that such Transfer is prohibited and void under this Article IX.

 
	
      (h)     “Restriction
 Release Date” means the earlier of December 31, 2022, the repeal of Section
 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (and any
 comparable successor provision) (“Section 382”), or the beginning of a
 taxable year of the Corporation (or any successor thereof) to which no Tax
 Benefits may be carried forward.

 
	
      (i)     “Tax
 Benefits” means the net operating loss carryovers, capital loss carryovers,
 general business credit carryovers, alternative minimum tax credit carryovers
 and foreign tax credit carryovers, as well as any “net unrealized built-in
 loss” within the meaning of Section 382, of the Corporation or any direct or
 indirect subsidiary thereof.

 
	
      (j)     “Transfer”
 means any direct or indirect sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, pledge,
 or other disposition. A Transfer also shall include the creation or grant of
 an option (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
 1.382-2T(h)(4)(v)). A Transfer shall not include an issuance or grant of
 Corporation Securities by the Corporation.

 
	
      (k)     “Treasury
 Regulation Section 1.382-2T” means the temporary income tax regulations
 promulgated under Section 382, and any successor regulations. References to
 any subsection of such regulations include references to any successor
 subsection thereof.

 
	
      Section
 2. Restrictions. 

 
	
      (a)     Any
 attempted Transfer of Corporation Securities prior to the Restriction Release
 Date, or any attempted Transfer of Corporation Securities pursuant to an
 agreement entered into prior to the Restriction Release Date, shall be
 prohibited and void ab initio to the extent that, as a result of such
 Transfer (or any series of Transfers of which such Transfer is a part),
 either (i) any Person or group of Persons shall become a Five-Percent
 Shareholder, or (ii) the Percentage Stock Ownership interest in the
 Corporation of any Five-Percent Shareholder shall be increased; provided,
 however, that nothing herein contained shall preclude the settlement of any
 transaction entered into through the over-the-counter market or any stock
 exchange on which the applicable Corporation Securities are listed. 

 
	
      (b)     If,
 as a result of an Acquisition Issuance prior to the Restriction Release Date,
 any Person or group of Persons would become a Five-Percent Shareholder, then,
 notwithstanding anything in the agreement governing the terms of the relevant
 acquisition to the contrary, the Corporation shall not deliver to the Person
 that would otherwise be entitled to receive the Corporation Securities in
 such Acquisition Issuance (the “Purported Holder”) the minimum number of
 Corporation Securities otherwise deliverable in the Acquisition Issuance such
 that such Person or group of Persons shall not become a Five-Percent
 Shareholder (“Excess Issued Securities”). Any and all such Excess Issued
 Securities shall instead be delivered to the Agent for sale in accordance
 with Section 4(b) of this Article IX. Any attempted or purported delivery of
 Excess Issued Securities in violation of this clause (b) shall be void ab
 initio.

 
	
      Section
 3. Certain Exceptions. The restrictions set forth in Section 2 of this
 Article IX shall not apply to (a) an attempted Transfer if the transferor or
 the transferee obtains, or (b) a delivery of Excess Issued Securities if the
 Purported Holder or the Corporation obtains, the approval of the Board of
 Directors of the Corporation. Any such approval must expressly waive the
 applicability of the restrictions set forth in this Section 3 of Article IX.
 As a condition to granting its approval, the Board of Directors may, in its
 discretion, require an opinion of counsel selected by the Board of Directors
 that the Transfer or delivery of Excess Issued Securities shall not result in
 the application of any Section 382 limitation on the use of the Tax Benefits.

 
	
      Section
 4. Treatment of Excess Transferred Securities and Excess Issued Securities. 

 
	
      (a)     No
 employee or agent of the Corporation shall record any delivery of Excess
 Issued Securities to a Purported Holder or any Prohibited Transfer, and the
 Purported Holder and the purported transferee of such a Prohibited Transfer
 (the “Purported Transferee”) shall not be recognized as a shareholder of the
 Corporation for any purpose whatsoever in respect of the Excess Issued
 Securities or the Corporation Securities which are the subject of the
 Prohibited Transfer (the “Excess Transferred Securities”, and together with
 the Excess Issued Securities, the “Excess Securities”). The Purported
 Transferee and the Purported Holder shall not be entitled with respect to
 such Excess Securities to any rights of shareholders of the Corporation, including
 without limitation, the right to vote such Excess Securities and to receive
 dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect
 thereof, if any. Once the Excess Securities have been acquired in a Transfer
 that is not a Prohibited Transfer, the Corporation Securities shall cease to
 be Excess Securities.

 
	
      (b)     If
 the Board of Directors determines that a Transfer of Corporation Securities
 constitutes a Prohibited Transfer or that Excess Issued Securities have been
 delivered to a Purported Holder, then, upon written demand by the
 Corporation, the Purported Transferee or Purported Holder shall transfer or
 cause to be transferred any certificate or other evidence of ownership of the
 Excess Securities within the Purported Transferee’s or Purported Holder’s
 possession or control, together with any Prohibited Distributions, to an
 agent designated by the Board of Directors (the “Agent”). The Agent shall
 promptly sell to a buyer or buyers, which may include the Corporation, the
 Excess Securities transferred to it pursuant to the preceding sentence or
 Section 2(b) of this Article IX, in one or more arm’s-length transactions
 (through the over-the-counter market or any stock exchange on which the
 applicable Corporation Securities are listed, if possible); provided,
 however, that the Agent shall effect such sale or sales in an orderly fashion
 and shall not be required to effect any such sale within any specific time
 frame if, in the Agent’s discretion, such sale or sales would disrupt the market
 for the Corporation Securities or otherwise would adversely affect the value
 of the Corporation Securities. If the Purported Transferee or Purported
 Holder has sold the Excess Securities before receiving the Corporation’s
 demand to surrender the Excess Securities to the Agent, the Purported
 Transferee or Purported Holder shall be deemed to have sold the Excess
 Securities on behalf of the Agent, and shall be required to transfer to the
 Agent any Prohibited Distributions and the proceeds of such sale, except to
 the extent that the Agent grants written permission to the Purported
 Transferee or Purported Holder to retain a portion of such Prohibited
 Distributions or sales proceeds not exceeding the amount that the Purported
 Transferee or Purported Holder would have received from the Agent pursuant to
 Section 4(c) of this Article IX if the Agent rather than the Purported
 Transferee or Purported Holder had sold the Excess Securities.

 
	
      (c)     The
 Agent shall apply any proceeds of a sale by it of Excess Securities, and any
 amounts received by the Agent from a Purported Transferee or Purported Holder
 pursuant to Section 4(b) of this Article IX, as follows: (i) first, in the
 case of Excess Transferred Securities, such amounts shall be paid to the
 Agent to the extent necessary to cover its costs and expenses incurred in
 connection with its duties hereunder; (ii) second, any remaining amounts
 shall be paid to the Purported Transferee or Purported Holder, up to either
 (1) the amount paid by the Purported Transferee for the Excess Securities, or
 (2) the fair market value, calculated on the basis of the closing market
 price for Corporation Securities on the day before the Acquisition Issuance
 or attempted Transfer, of the Excess Securities at the time of the Acquisition
 Issuance or attempted Transfer to the Purported Transferee by gift,
 inheritance, or similar Transfer, which amount or fair market value shall be
 determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors; and (iii) third, any
 remaining amounts shall be paid to one or more organizations qualifying under
 Section 501(c)(3) of the Code selected by the Board of Directors. The
 recourse of any Purported Transferee or Purported Holder in respect of any
 Prohibited Transfer or delivery of Excess Issued Securities shall be limited
 to the amount payable to the Purported Transferee or Purported Holder
 pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. In no event shall the
 proceeds of any sale of Excess Securities pursuant to this Article IX inure
 to the benefit of the Corporation.

 
	
      (d)     If
 the Purported Transferee or Purported Holder fails to surrender the Excess
 Securities or the proceeds of a sale thereof to the Agent within thirty
 business days from the date on which the Corporation makes a demand pursuant
 to Section (4)(b) of this Article IX, then the Corporation shall institute
 legal proceedings to compel the surrender.

 
	
      (e)     The
 Corporation shall make the demand described in Section 4(b) of this Article
 IX within thirty days of the date on which the Board of Directors determines
 that the attempted Transfer would result in Excess Transferred Securities or
 that a Purported Holder received Excess Issued Securities; provided, however,
 that if the Corporation makes such demand at a later date, the provisions of
 this Article IX shall apply nonetheless.

 
	
      Section
 5. Bylaws, Legends, etc. 

 
	
      (a)     The
 Bylaws of the Corporation shall make appropriate provisions to effectuate the
 requirements of this Article IX.

 
	
      (b)     All
 certificates representing Corporation Securities issued after the
 effectiveness of this Article IX shall bear a conspicuous legend as follows:

 “THE TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS
 PURSUANT TO ARTICLE IX OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF CRIMSON WINE
 GROUP, LTD. REPRINTED IN ITS ENTIRETY ON THE BACK OF THIS CERTIFICATE.” 

 
	
      (c)     The
 Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have the power to determine all
 matters necessary to determine compliance with this Article IX, including
 without limitation (i) whether a new Five-Percent Shareholder would be
 required to be identified in certain circumstances, (ii) whether a Transfer
 is a Prohibited Transfer, (iii) the Percentage Stock Ownership in the
 Corporation of any Five-Percent Shareholder, (iv) whether an instrument
 constitutes a Corporation Security, (v) the amount or fair market value due
 to a Purported Transferee or Purported Holder pursuant to clause (ii) of
 Section 4(c) of this Article IX, (vi) whether an issuance of Corporation
 Securities is an Acquisition Issuance, (vii) the number of Excess Issued
 Securities with respect to any Purported Holder, and (viii) any other matters
 which the Board of Directors determines to be relevant; and the good faith
 determination of the Board of Directors on such matters shall be conclusive
 and binding for all the purposes of this Article IX.

the Parties wish to (a) provide for the payment of Tax liabilities and

ALLOCATION,
PAYMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION

                    Section
2.01. Responsibility for Taxes; Indemnification.

                    (a)     Leucadia shall be responsible for
and shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Crimson
Group for, all Tax liabilities (and any loss, cost, damage or expense,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred in connection therewith)
attributable to (i) any Taxes of the members of the Leucadia Group paid or
filed on a separate company basis or on an Affiliated Group basis; (ii) any
Transaction Taxes; and (iii) all Transfer Taxes; except, in each case, for
Taxes that arise from or are attributable to a Disqualifying Action. 

                    (b)     Crimson shall be responsible for and
shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Leucadia
Group for, all Tax liabilities (and any loss, cost, damage or expense, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred in connection therewith)
attributable to (i) any Taxes of the members of the Crimson Group not described
in Section 2.01(a); and (ii) any Taxes that arise from or are attributable to a
Disqualifying Action. 

                    (c)     If the Indemnifying Party is
required to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 2.01, the
Indemnified Party shall submit its calculations of the amount required to be
paid pursuant to this Section 2.01, showing such calculations in sufficient
detail so as to permit the Indemnifying Party to understand the calculations.
Subject to the following sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the
Indemnified Party, no later than 20 days after the Indemnifying Party receives
the Indemnified Party’s calculations, the amount that the Indemnifying Party is
required to pay the Indemnified Party under this Section 2.01. If the
Indemnifying Party disagrees with such calculations, it must notify the
Indemnified Party of its disagreement in writing within 15 days of receiving
such calculations.

                    (d)     For all Tax purposes, the Leucadia
Group and the Crimson Group agree to treat (i) any payment required by this
Agreement (other than payments with respect to interest accruing after the
Effective Time) as either a contribution by Leucadia to Crimson or a
distribution by Crimson to Leucadia, as the case may be, occurring immediately
prior to the Effective Time and (ii) any payment of interest or non-federal Taxes
by or to a Taxing Authority as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to
the party entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment or required
under this Agreement to make such payment, in either case except as otherwise
mandated by applicable Law. 

                    (e)     The amount of any indemnification
payment pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be reduced by the amount of
any reduction in Taxes actually realized by the Indemnified Party by the end of
the taxable year in which the indemnity payment is made, and shall be increased
if and to the extent necessary to ensure that, after all required Taxes on the
indemnity payment are paid (including Taxes applicable to any increases in the
indemnity payment under this Section 2.01(e)), the Indemnified Party
receives the amount it would have received if the indemnity payment was not
taxable. 

                    Section
2.02. Preparation of Tax Returns. 

                    (a)     Leucadia shall prepare and timely
file (taking into account applicable extensions) all Tax Returns with respect
to which it is responsible for any Taxes shown thereon under Section
2.01(a)(i). Leucadia shall be entitled to all refunds shown to be due and
payable on such Tax Returns. 

                    (b)     Subject to any arrangement under the
Administrative Services Agreement, Crimson shall prepare and timely file
(taking into account applicable extensions) all Tax Returns with respect to
which it is responsible for any Taxes shown thereon under Section 2.01(b)(i).
Crimson shall be entitled to all refunds shown to be due and payable on such
Tax Returns. 

                    (c)     Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, for all Tax purposes, the parties shall report any
Extraordinary Transactions that are caused or permitted to occur by Crimson or
any of its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date after the completion of the
Distribution as occurring on the day after the Closing Date pursuant to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) or any similar or analogous
provision of state, local or foreign Law. Leucadia shall not make a ratable
allocation election pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section
1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D) or any similar or analogous provision of state, local or
foreign Law.

                    Section
2.03. Payment of Sales, Use or Similar Taxes.
All Transfer Taxes, shall be borne solely by Leucadia. Notwithstanding anything
in Section 2.03 to the contrary, the Party required by applicable Law shall
remit payment for any Transfer Taxes and duly and timely file any related Tax
Returns, subject to any indemnification rights it may have against the other
Party, which shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.01(c). Crimson,
Leucadia and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate in (i) determining the
amount of such Taxes, (ii) providing all available exemption certificates and
(iii) preparing and timely filing any and all required Tax Returns for or with
respect to such Taxes with any and all appropriate Taxing Authorities.  

                    Section
2.04. Audits and Proceedings. 

                    (a)     Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, if after the Closing Date, an Indemnified Party or any of its
Affiliates receives any notice, letter, correspondence, claim or decree from
any Taxing Authority (a “Tax Notice”) and, upon receipt of such Tax
Notice, believes it has suffered or potentially could suffer any Tax liability
for which it is indemnified pursuant to Section 2.01, the Indemnified
Party shall deliver such Tax Notice to the Indemnifying Party within 10 days of
the receipt of such Tax Notice; provided, however, that the
failure of the Indemnified Party to provide the Tax Notice to the Indemnifying
Party shall not affect the indemnification rights of the Indemnified Party
pursuant to Section 2.01, except to the extent that the Indemnifying
Party is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to deliver such Tax
Notice. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to handle, defend, conduct
and control, at its own expense, any Tax audit or other proceeding that relates
to such Tax Notice; provided that, in all events, Leucadia shall have
the right to control any Tax audit or proceeding relating to Transaction Taxes
or the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions. The Indemnifying Party shall also
have the right to compromise or settle any such Tax audit or other proceeding
that it has the authority to control pursuant to the preceding sentence
subject, in the case of a compromise or settlement that could adversely affect
the Indemnified Party, to the Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party fails within a
reasonable time after notice to defend any such Tax Notice or the resulting
audit or proceeding as provided herein, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound
by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith. The
Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of any Tax
liability within 15 days after a Final Determination of such Tax liability. 

                    (b)     If after the Closing Date, Leucadia,
Crimson or any of their respective Affiliates receive a Tax Notice that could
have an impact on a member of the other Group, Leucadia or Crimson, as
applicable, shall deliver such Tax Notice to the other Party within 10 days of
the receipt of such Tax Notice. 

                    Section
2.05. Carrybacks. To the extent permitted by
applicable Law, neither Crimson nor any of its Affiliates shall carry back any
federal income Tax Item to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or
before the Closing Date.

                    (b)     Tax Reporting. Each of
Leucadia and Crimson covenants and agrees that it will not take, and will cause
