EXHIBIT 10.1

 

CHANGE OF CONTROL

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

 

This Change of Control Severance Agreement (the "Agreement") is made as of September 4, 2013 (the "Effective Date") by and between Layne Christensen Company, a Delaware corporation ("Company"), and James R. Easter ("Employee").

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Employee was recently hired to serve as a key employee of Company and the services and knowledge of Employee are valuable to Company in connection with the management of Company’s business;

 

WHEREAS, Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") has determined that it is in the best interest of Company and its stockholders to secure Employee’s service and to ensure Employee’s dedication and objectivity by providing Employee with certain severance benefits if Company were to actually or constructively terminate Employee’s employment in connection with a change in ownership or control of Company;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Company and Employee, each intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1. Term.

 

(a) The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence on the Effective Date, and except as otherwise provided in Section 10, the Term and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue until the earlier of (i) the date on which Employee’s employment with Company terminates or (ii) twelve (12) months following the date of delivery to Employee of written notice by Company of its intent to terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, and regardless of whether written notice by Company of its intent to terminate this Agreement has already been provided, this Agreement may not be terminated by Company during the Three-Year Period (as defined in Section 3(a) hereof).

 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 1(a), nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to provide Employee with any additional rights to benefits or compensation from Company before the occurrence of a Control Change Date as that term is defined in Section 3(a).

 

2. Restrictions on Employee’s Conduct.

 

(a) Exclusive Services. During his employment by Company, Employee shall at all times devote Employee’s full-time attention, energies, efforts and skills to the business of Company (which term shall hereinafter include each of Company’s subsidiaries) and shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any other business activity, whether or not for profit, gain or other pecuniary advantages, without Company’s written consent, provided that such prior consent shall not be required with respect to: (i) business interests that neither compete with Company nor interfere with the performance of Employee’s duties and obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) Employee’s charitable, philanthropic or professional association activities which do not interfere with the performance of Employee’s duties and obligations under this Agreement.

 

  

  

  

 

(b) Confidential Information. During his employment by Company and after any termination of his employment, Employee shall not disclose or use, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean all information disclosed to Employee, or known by him as a consequence of or through Employee’s employment with Company (under this Agreement or prior to this Agreement) where such information is not generally known in the trade or industry or was regarded or treated as confidential by Company, and where such information refers or relates in any manner whatsoever to the business activities, processes, services or products of Company. Confidential Information shall include business and development plans (whether contemplated, initiated or completed), information with respect to the development of technical and management services, business contacts, methods of operation, results of analysis, business forecasts, financial data, costs, revenues, and similar information. Upon termination of the Term, Employee shall immediately return to Company all property of Company and all Confidential Information, which is in tangible form, including all copies, extracts, and summaries thereof and any Confidential Information stored electronically on tapes computer disks or in any other manner.

 

(c) Business Opportunities and Conflicts of Interests.

 

(i) During his employment by Company, Employee shall promptly disclose to Company each business opportunity of a type which, based upon its prospects and relationship to the existing businesses of Company, Company might reasonably consider pursuing. After termination of this Agreement, regardless of the circumstances thereof, Company shall have the exclusive right to participate in or undertake any such opportunity on its own behalf without any involvement of Employee.

 

(ii) During his employment by Company, Employee shall refrain from engaging in any activity, practice or act which conflicts with, or has the potential to conflict with, the interests of Company, and he shall avoid any acts or omissions which are disloyal to, or competitive with Company.

 

(d) Non-Solicitation. For a period of two years following any termination of his employment with Company, Employee shall not, except in the course of Employee’s duties under this Agreement, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce or otherwise counsel, advise, ask or encourage any person to leave the employ of Company, or solicit or offer employment to any person who was employed by Company at any time during the twelve-month period preceding the solicitation or offer.

 

(e) Covenant Not to Compete.

 

(i) During his employment by Company, Employee shall not, without Company’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, either as an officer, director, employee, agent, advisor, consultant, principal, stockholder, partner, owner or in any other capacity, on Employee’s own behalf or otherwise, in any way engage in, represent, be connected with or have a financial interest in, any business which is, or to Employee’s knowledge, is about to become, engaged in any business with which Company is currently or has previously done business or any subsequent line of business developed by Company or any business planned during the Term to be established by Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall be permitted to own passive investments in publicly held companies provided that such investments do not exceed five percent (5%) of any such company’s outstanding equity.

 

  

2

  

 

(ii) For a period of two years following any termination of his employment with Company, Employee shall not, engage in competition with Company, or solicit, from any person or entity who purchased any product or service from Company during Employee’s employment hereunder, the purchase of any product or service in competition with then existing products or services of Company.

 

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be deemed to engage in competition with Company if he shall, directly or indirectly, either individually or as a stockholder, director, officer, partner, consultant, owner, employee, agent, or in any other capacity, consult with or otherwise assist any person or entity engaged in services similar to those provided by Company or any member of Company’s group of companies. The provisions of this Section 2(e) shall apply in any location in which Company has established, or is in the process of establishing, a business presence.

 

(f) Employee Acknowledgment. Employee hereby agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions imposed upon him by the provisions of this Section 2 are fair and reasonable considering the nature of Company’s business, and are reasonably required for Company’s protection.

 

(g) Invalidity. If a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator shall declare any provision or restriction contained in this Section 2 as unenforceable or void, the provisions of this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not so declared to be unenforceable or void, and the court may modify the invalid provision to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

(h) Specific Performance. Employee agrees that if he breaches any of the provisions of this Section 2, the remedies available at law to Company would be inadequate and in lieu thereof, or in addition thereto, Company shall be entitled to appropriate equitable remedies, including specific performance and injunctive relief. Employee agrees not to enter into any agreement, either written or oral, which may conflict with this Agreement, and Employee authorizes Company to make known the terms of this Section 2 to any person, including future employers of Employee.

 

(i) Termination of Agreement by Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 2(d) and (e) above shall not apply with respect to Employee upon the effective date of the termination of this Agreement by Company pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 1 hereof.

 

(j) Notice and Opportunity to Cure.  If Company believes that Employee has breached Section 2(a), Section 2(c), Section 2(d) or Section 2(e), Company shall provide a reasonably detailed written notice to Employee of the activity or conduct by Employee that Company believes is in violation of such Section(s). Employee shall be deemed to be in breach of such Section(s) only if he fails to cease such activities or conduct within five (5) days following receipt of such notice from Company; provided further, however, that a repeated breach after such notice involving the same or substantially similar activity or conduct shall be a breach of this Agreement without any additional notice from Company.

 

3. Continuation of Employment Upon Change of Control.

 

(a) Continuation of Employment. Subject to the rights of the parties under this Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control of Company (as defined in Section 3(c)) at any time during the Term, it is the intent of the parties that Employee will remain in the employ of Company after the date of such Change of Control (the "Control Change Date"); and Company intends, for the three year period (the "Three-Year Period") immediately following the Control Change Date, to continue to employ Employee in a position without substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of Employee’s authority, duties or responsibility as compared with the position Employee held immediately prior to the Change of Control. During the Three-Year Period, Company shall continue to pay Employee salary on the same basis, at the same intervals and at a rate not less than, that paid to Employee at the Control Change Date. Any termination of employment by Company following a Control Change Date and during the Three-Year Period (a "Post-CoC Termination") shall be governed by Section 4.

 

  

3

  

 

(b) Benefits. In addition to compensation as provided pursuant to Section 3(a), during the Three-Year Period Employee also shall be entitled to receive the following benefits and participate, on the basis of his employment position, in each of the following plans (collectively, the "Specified Benefits") in existence, and in accordance with the terms thereof, at the Control Change Date:

 

(i) any incentive compensation plans including eligibility to receive grants under any Company equity compensation plans;

 

(ii) any benefit plan and trust fund associated therewith, related to life, health, dental, disability, or accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and

 

(iii) any other benefit plans hereafter made generally available to employees at Employee’s level or to the employees of Company generally.

 

(c) Definition of Change of Control. For purposes of this Section, a "Change of Control" means the first to occur of the following events:

 

(i) Any person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner (within the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of securities of Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from Company or its Affiliates (as defined below) representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of Company’s then outstanding securities, excluding any person who becomes such a Beneficial Owner in connection with a transaction described in clause (x) of paragraph (iii) of this Section 3(c); or

 

(ii) During any 12-month period, the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving: individuals who, on the Effective Date, constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the date hereof or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended; or

 

(iii) There is consummated a merger or consolidation of Company with any other corporation, OTHER THAN (x) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of Company at least 50% of the combined voting power of the securities of Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (y) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of Company (or similar transaction) in which no person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person any securities acquired directly from Company or any person (an "Affiliate") that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with Company other than in connection with the acquisition by Company or its Affiliates of a business) representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of Company’s then outstanding securities; or

 

  

4

  

 

(iv) The stockholders of Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by Company of all or substantially all of Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by Company of all or substantially all of Company’s assets to an entity, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by stockholders of Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Company immediately prior to such sale.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a "Change of Control" shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of Company’s common stock immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of Company’s assets immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.

 

4. Termination During Three-Year Period.

 

(a) Termination by Company for Cause. If Employee’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Three-Year Period he shall be entitled to:

 

(i) payment of any earned but unpaid portion of Employee’s annual base salary as in effect from time to time ("Base Salary") through the effective date of such termination;

 

(ii) the right to elect continuation coverage of insurance benefits to the extent required by law; and

 

(iii) payment of any accrued but unpaid benefits as required by the terms of any employee benefit plan or program of Company, to the extent required by law.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, during the Three-Year Period "Cause" shall mean an act of dishonesty by Employee constituting a felony which was intended to or resulted in gain or personal enrichment of Employee at Company’s expense.

 

(b) Termination Due to Death. Employee’s employment and this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon Employee’s death during the Three-Year Period, and Employee’s estate or Employee’s beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to those benefits described in Section 3(a) and also shall be entitled to receive from Company the following:

 

  

5

  

 

(i) to the extent determinable and subject to confirmation by Company, reimbursement for any reasonable, unreimbursed and documented business expense he has incurred in performing Employee’s duties hereunder; and

 

(ii) payment of any bonus due by virtue of having met all applicable performance targets prior to the effective date of such termination.

 

Payments made under this Section 3(b) shall be made within 30 days of Employee’s death. Expenses under subsection (i) must be submitted within 12 months of Employee’s death or shall not be reimbursed. Reimbursements shall be made within 30 days of submission and confirmation of the expense.

 

(c) Termination by Company without Cause in Connection with a Change of Control. If Employee’s employment is terminated without Cause during the Three-Year Period, then subject to the application of the rule for Specified Employees in this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to receive from Company the following if Employee executes a release pursuant to Section 4(k):

 

(i) severance benefits including:

 

(A) payment of the then current Base Salary for a severance period of 24 months commencing on the effective date of Employee’s termination (the “Severance Period”), in accordance with Company’s regular salary payment practices;

 

(B) a pro-rated annual incentive bonus pursuant to Company’s Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan for the fiscal year in which termination of employment occurs, based on the final results for that fiscal year, and payable no later than 2 1/2 months following the end of the fiscal year, or if later, 2 1/2 months following the end of the calendar year, in which Employee’s termination of employment occurs;

 

(C) a lump sum payment equal to twice the average annual incentive bonus paid to Employee pursuant to Company’s Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan in the three fiscal years preceding his termination of employment; provided, however, that if Employee has been with Company less than three years, this lump sum payment shall equal twice the average annual bonus percentage paid to the other named executive officers of Company in the three fiscal years preceding his termination of employment, multiplied by Employee’s then current Base Salary;

 

(D) vesting of any outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards and other equity incentive awards ("Equity-Based Awards") that did not vest already as a result of the Change of Control, and continuation of Employee’s rights to exercise any outstanding Equity-Based Awards so exercisable for one year following the effective date of Employee’s termination of employment, but in all other respects subject to the terms of Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and any written agreements with Employee made pursuant to that plan; and

 

(E) continued coverage for Employee (and, if applicable under the applicable welfare benefit plan(s), his spouse and family) under Company’s employee welfare benefit plans (such as medical, dental, disability and life) that covered him (or them) immediately before Employee’s termination, as if he had remained in employment, until the end of the Severance Period, or if the welfare benefit plan is subject to COBRA continuation coverage, until the end of the period for which such COBRA coverage is maintained; Company shall pay the portion of such coverage it pays for active employees, provided, however, that if Employee’s participation in any plan is barred or Company cannot pay a portion without penalty under Code section 105, Company shall either arrange to provide Employee (and/or his spouse and family, if applicable) substantially similar benefits or pay Employee the amount of any such premiums in cash, provided such cash payment(s) are made in the tax years such that the payments are compliant with the payment rules under Code section 409A;

 

  

6

  

 

(ii) payment of any earned but unpaid portion of Employee’s annual Base Salary through the effective date of such termination;

 

(iii) reimbursement for any reasonable, unreimbursed and documented business expense he has incurred in performing Employee’s duties hereunder; and

 

(iv) payment of any accrued but unpaid benefits as required by the terms of any employee benefit plan or program of Company, to the extent required by law.

 

Subject to the application of the rule for Specified Employees in this Agreement, all lump-sum payments and installments required to begin as a result of this section shall be made or commence within sixty days following the effective date of Employee’s termination of employment, but only if Employee executes and does not revoke a release of claims acceptable to Company. If the last day of the sixty day period falls in a different calendar year than the date of termination, payment shall begin in the later tax year.

 

(d) Resignation following a Change of Control. If, within the Three-Year Period Employee experiences a Constructive Termination Event, and after providing written notice to Company no later than 90 days of the date the Constructive Termination Event first arose or occurred, Company fails to reasonably cure the event or condition giving rise to the Constructive Termination Event within the 30-day period following Company’s receipt of the written notice, Employee may, effective at the end of such 30-day cure period, resign from employment with Company at any time within the next 60 days and such resignation shall be considered a Constructive termination without Cause ("Qualifying Resignation"). In connection with such Qualifying Resignation, Company shall pay to Employee the same amounts and benefits Employee would have been entitled to receive if he experienced a Post-CoC Termination by Company without Cause under Section 4(c) above if Employee executes a release pursuant to Section 4(k). Any other voluntary resignation by Employee, including as a result of disability, shall not be a Qualifying Resignation for which such payments are made.

 

(e) Certain Definitions.

 

(i) Termination "without Cause" shall mean involuntary termination of employment by the independent exercise of the unilateral authority of company, in the absence of "Cause" as defined above, where Employee is willing and able to continue performing services to Company.

 

(ii) "Constructive termination without Cause" shall mean a termination of Employee at Employee’s own initiative following the occurrence, without Employee’s prior written consent, of one or more of the following events not on account of Cause ("Constructive Termination Events"):

 

(A) a significant and adverse diminution in the nature or scope of Employee’s authority, title, responsibilities or duties, unless Employee is given new authority or duties that are substantially comparable to Employee’s previous authority or duties;

 

  

7

  

 

(B) a reduction in Employee’s then-current Base Salary, or a significant reduction in Employee’s opportunities for earnings under Employee’s incentive compensation plans (not attributable to economic conditions or business performance at the time), or the termination or significant reduction of any employee benefit or perquisite enjoyed by him (except as part of a general reduction that applies to substantially all similarly situated employees or participants);

 

(C) a change in Employee’s place of employment such that Employee is required to work more than 50 miles from Employee’s then current place of employment; or

 

(D) the failure of Company to obtain an assumption in writing of its obligation to perform this Agreement by any successor to all or substantially all of the assets of Company within 45 days after a merger, consolidation, sale or similar transaction.

 

(f) Payments Terminated. If the Board has determined in good faith that Employee has failed to comply with the requirements of the Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition provisions referenced in Section 2 hereof at any time following any termination, then Company shall have no further obligation to pay any amounts or provide any benefits under this Agreement.

 

(g) Payments to Specified Employee. If Employee is a "specified employee" (as defined in Code section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) (hereinafter a "Specified Employee")) at the time Employee is eligible to be paid any amounts under Section 4, then, to the extent no Code section 409A exception applies (including but not limited to the exception for short-term deferral or involuntary separation pay), payments of those amounts that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code section 409A (“NQDC”) shall be made as follows:

 

(i) Payment of that portion of the total amount of NQDC for which no exception from Code section 409A applies shall be delayed, to the extent necessary, so that no such NQDC payments shall be made during the first six months following Employee’s termination of employment. Any such payment which otherwise would have been made during the initial six-month time period shall be held in arrears by Company until the first day after six months following Employee’s termination of employment, at which time all amounts held in arrears shall be paid to Employee without interest.

 

(ii) To the extent that Company determines an exception from Code section 409A applies to any portion, such portion shall be paid as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

 

(h) Mitigation and Expenses.

 

(i) Other Employment. After the Control Change Date, Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and except as expressly set forth herein no such other employment, if obtained, or compensation or benefits payable in connection therewith shall reduce any amounts or benefits to which Employee is entitled hereunder.

 

(ii) Expenses. If any dispute should arise under this Agreement after the Control Change Date involving an effort by Employee to protect, enforce or secure rights or benefits claimed by Employee hereunder, Company shall pay (promptly upon demand by Employee accompanied by reasonable evidence of incurrence) all reasonable expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by Employee in connection with such dispute, without regard to whether Employee prevails in such dispute except that Employee shall repay Company any amounts so received if a court having jurisdiction shall make a final, non-appealable determination that Employee acted frivolously or in bad faith by such dispute

 

  

8

  

 

(i) Successors in Interest. The rights and obligations of Company and Employee under this Section 4 shall inure to the benefit of and be binding in each and every respect upon the direct and indirect successors and assigns of Company and Employee, regardless of the manner in which such successors or assigns shall succeed to the interest of Company or Employee hereunder and this Section 4 shall not be terminated by the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Company or any merger or consolidation or acquisition involving Company, or upon any transfer of all or substantially all of Company’s assets, or terminated otherwise than in accordance with its terms. In the event of any such merger or consolidation or transfer of assets, the provision of this Section 4 shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the surviving corporation or the corporation or other person to which such assets shall be transferred.

 

(j) General Release and Waiver. In consideration of the payments provided for under Section 4(c) and (d), Employee, on behalf of himself and his representatives, agents, estate, heirs, successors and assigns, Employee agrees to execute a release and waiver of claims in favor of Company, its affiliates and their respective officers and directors in a form provided by Company.

 

5. Deductions and Withholding. Employee agrees that Company may withhold from any and all payments required to be made by Company to Employee under this Agreement all taxes or other amounts that Company is required by law to withhold in accordance with applicable laws or regulations from time to time in effect.

 

6. Modified 280G Carve-Back. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if on an after-tax basis the aggregate payments and benefit paid pursuant to Section 4 would be larger if the portion of such payments and benefits constituting "parachute payments" under Code section 280G were reduced by the minimum amount necessary to avoid the imposition of the excise tax under Code section 4999, then such payments and benefits shall be reduced by the minimum amount necessary to avoid such excise tax.  Any such reduction shall be applied first to reduce the lump-sum payment under Section 4(c)(i)(B), second, if necessary, to reduce the present value of the Base Salary amounts in monthly installments under Section 4(c)(i)(A), third, if necessary, to reduce the Equity-Based Awards that vest as a result of termination of employment during the Three-Year Period, and fourth, if necessary, to reduce pro-rata the Equity-Based Awards whose vesting accelerated on account of the Change of Control.

 

7. Arbitration. Whenever a dispute arises between the Parties concerning this Agreement or any of the obligations hereunder, or Employee’s employment generally, Company and Employee shall use their best efforts to resolve the dispute by mutual agreement. If any dispute cannot be resolved by Company and Employee, it shall be submitted to arbitration to the exclusion of all other avenues of relief and adjudicated pursuant to the American Arbitration Association’s Rules for Employment Dispute Resolution then in effect. The decision of the arbitrator must be in writing and shall be final and binding on the Parties, and judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The expenses of the arbitration will be split equally between the parties and each party shall be responsible for paying his or its own costs, including attorneys’ fees associated with such arbitration. Nothing in this Section 7 shall be construed to derogate Company’s rights to seek legal and equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction as contemplated by Section 2(h).

 

  

9

  

 

8. Non-Waiver. It is understood and agreed that one party’s failure at any time to require the performance by the other party of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions hereof shall in no way affect the first party’s right thereafter to enforce the same, nor shall the waiver by either party of the breach of any term, provision, covenant or condition hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any succeeding breach.

 

9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the law under which this Agreement is to be construed, or if any such provision is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or any arbitrator, such provision shall be deleted from this Agreement and the Agreement shall be construed to give full effect to the remaining provisions thereof.

 

10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed according to the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof.

 

11. Construction. The Section headings and captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be construed to define, limit or affect the scope or meaning of the provisions hereof. All references herein to Sections shall be deemed to refer to numbered sections of this Agreement.

 

12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains and represents the entire agreement of Company and Employee and supersedes all prior agreements, representations or understandings, oral or written, express or implied with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be modified or amended in any way unless in a writing signed by each of Company and Employee. No representation, promise or inducement has been made by either Company or Employee that is not embodied in this Agreement, and neither Company nor Employee shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise or inducement not specifically set forth herein.

 

13. Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations of Company or Employee hereunder may be assigned by Company or Employee without the other Party’s prior written consent. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Company and Employee and their heirs, successors and assigns.

 

14. Survivability. Unless otherwise provided herein, upon termination or expiration of the Term, the provisions of Sections 2 through 13 above shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect but shall under no circumstance extend the Term (or Employee’s right to accrue additional benefits beyond the expiration of the Term as determined in accordance with Section 1 but without regard to this Section).

 

15. Code Section 409A.

 

(a) It is the intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and guidance issued thereunder ("Section 409A") and that this Agreement be interpreted and operated consistent with such requirements of Section 409A in order to avoid the application of additive income taxes under Section 409A ("409A Penalties").  To the extent that a payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Section 409A, except as Employee and Company otherwise determine in writing, the payment shall be paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Section 409A, such that the payment, settlement or deferral shall not be subject to the 409A Penalties. Any benefit subject to Section 409A that becomes due because of termination of employment shall be provided to Employee only upon a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h). With respect to any installment payment subject to Section 409A that made under this Agreement, each such payment shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.

 

  

10

  

 

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that would (i) create 409A Penalties or (ii) cause benefits that are not subject to Section 409A to become subject to Section 409A (unless such amendment complies with rules to avoid 409A Penalties).  The provisions of any purported amendment to this Agreement that may reasonably be expected to result in 409A Penalties shall be of no force or effect.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or any other provision in this Agreement, Company, to the extent it deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, reserves the unilateral right to amend or modify this Agreement to reflect the intention that this Agreement qualifies for exemption from 409A Penalties.  This right to amend or modify the Agreement, however, creates no obligation upon Company to do so.  If Company undertakes to amend or modify the Agreement, such amendment or modification will be made in a manner that as closely as practicable achieves the original intent of this Agreement and with the least reduction, if any, in overall benefit to Employee.  Such amendment or modification may be made on a retroactive basis, to the extent permitted under Section 409A.

 

16. Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given if delivered personally or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by telegram, telex, telecopy or similar form of telecommunication, and shall be deemed to have been given when received. Any such notice or communication shall be addressed to:

 ARTICLE III 

UNITS 
 3.1 Units
Generally. The Members’ ownership interest in the Company shall be represented by issued and outstanding Units, which may be divided into one or more types, classes or series. Each type, class or series of Units shall have the privileges,
preferences, duties, liabilities, obligations and rights, including voting rights, if any, set forth in this Agreement with respect to such type, class or series. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Units issued hereunder will not be
Certificated Units. The Board shall maintain a Schedule of Members and a record of each Member’s ownership interest in the Company (which record, except for the Schedule of Members that is attached to this Agreement as of the Effective Date of
this Agreement, shall not be made available to a Member as to any other Member’s ownership interest in the Company), and shall update the Schedule of Members and such record, as applicable, upon the issuance of any Units to any new Member, upon
the Transfer of any Units to any new or existing Member, upon the forfeiture of any Units, or in the manner described in Section 14.20 if any proposed Member does not execute and deliver this Agreement. A copy of the Schedule of Members
as of the Effective Date of this Agreement is attached hereto as Schedule A. As of the date hereof, the Board and the Members have determined that Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware (and the Uniform Commercial
Code of any other applicable jurisdiction) will not govern any Equity Securities. The Board shall have the sole authority to elect in writing to have any class or series of Equity Securities be subject to Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of
the State of Delaware (and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction); provided that any such election to have Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware (and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other
applicable jurisdiction) shall not be effective until at least two days’ prior written notice of the same is provided to the Members, and shall not be revocable once made, and the class or series of Equity Securities subject to such election,
if Units (i.e., not derivative securities), shall thereafter be Certificated Units. The ownership by a Member of any class or series of Units shall entitle such Member to allocations of Net Income and Net Loss and other items
and Distributions of cash and other property with respect to such Units as set forth in Article VI hereof.  
 3.2
Authorization and Issuance of Units. The Company is hereby authorized to issue Units. Assuming that each Person whose name is listed on the signature pages of this Agreement as of the Effective Date of this Agreement has executed and
delivered this Agreement as of the Effective Date and after giving effect to the Capital Contributions of the Members, 1,271,075 Units (the “Initial Units”) shall be issued and outstanding to the Members in the amounts set forth on
the Schedule of Members opposite the names of the Members or, in the case of the Initial Service Providers, in a Unit notice to be delivered by the Company to each Initial Service Provider concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by such Initial Service Provider. Such Unit notice shall state, among other things, the number of Units issued by the Company to such Initial Service Provider and his corresponding Percentage Interest. In any matters presented to the
Members for approval or consent pursuant to this Agreement or applicable law, each Member shall be deemed to have one vote for each Unit held by such Member. 

  
 10 

 3.3 Units Issued to Initial Service Providers. 

(a) Loans from Calavo to Initial Service Providers. The Company and the Members acknowledge and agree that Calavo has loaned funds to
each Initial Service Provider equal to the full Capital Contribution that each Initial Service Provider shall make to the Company as payment for the Initial Units that each shall receive with respect to each such Member’s Capital Contribution.
Calavo’s loan to each Initial Service Provider shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note payable to Calavo (each, a “Promissory Note”), which each Initial Service Provider shall deliver to Calavo concurrently with the
execution of this Agreement. 
 (b) Transfer of Units Upon Termination of Service. The Company and the Members acknowledge and agree
that if, prior to May 1, 2016, (i) the Company terminates an Initial Service Provider’s employment with, or other service to, the Company for Cause, or (ii) the Initial Service Provider terminates his employment with, or other
service to, the Company other than (A) for Good Reason or (B) as a result of the Service Provider’s death or Disability, notwithstanding whether prior to such date the Initial Service Provider has repaid his Promissory Note in full,
then all of such Initial Service Provider’s Initial Units shall be automatically transferred to Calavo for no consideration, other than the application of the value of such Initial Units to the repayment of the Service Provider’s
Promissory Note, as applicable. In the event such Initial Units are transferred to Calavo pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) after the Initial Service Provider’s Promissory Note is repaid, Calavo shall return the paid principal and
interest under the Promissory Note to the Initial Service Provider. 
 (c) Transfer of Units Upon Failure to Repay. The Company and
the Members further acknowledge and agree that, pursuant to the Promissory Notes, in the event an Initial Service Provider fails to repay his Promissory Note by May 1, 2016, all of such Initial Service Provider’s Initial Units may be
transferred to Calavo, in Calavo’s sole discretion, for no consideration, other than the application of the value of such Initial Units to the repayment of the Service Provider’s Promissory Note. 

3.4 Authorization to Issue Profits Interest Units. 

(a) Rule 701 Plan. This Agreement is a Rule 701 plan pursuant to which all Initial Units held by Initial Service Providers and all
Units that constitute a “profits interest” in the Company within the meaning of IRS Revenue Procedure 93-27 (a “Profits Interest”) shall be issued and granted in compliance with the securities registration exemption
provided by Rule 701 of the Securities Act or another applicable exemption (such plan as in effect from time to time, the “Incentive Plan”). The Company may elect in the future to grant Profits Interest Units to Service Providers.
In connection with any future issuance of Profits Interest Units, the Board is hereby authorized to negotiate and enter into award agreements with each Service Provider to whom it grants Units that constitute a Profits Interest (such agreements,
“Award Agreements”). Each Award Agreement shall include such terms, conditions, rights and obligations as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. 

  
 11 

 (b) Profits Interest Units as Profits Interests. The Company and each Service Provider who
receives Profits Interest Units hereby agree to comply with the provisions of IRS Revenue Procedure 2001-43, and neither the Company nor any Service Provider who receives Profits Interest Units shall perform any act or take any position inconsistent
with the application of IRS Revenue Procedure 2001-43 or any future Internal Revenue Service guidance or other Governmental Authority that supplements or supersedes the foregoing IRS Revenue Procedures. 

(c) Safe Harbor for Profits Interest Units. In accordance with the finally promulgated successor rules to Proposed Regulations
Section 1.83-3(l) and IRS Notice 2005-43, each Member, by executing this Agreement, authorizes and directs the Company to elect a safe harbor under which the fair market value of any Profits Interest Units issued after the effective date of
such Proposed Regulations (or other guidance) will be treated as equal to the liquidation value (within the meaning of the Proposed Regulations or successor rules) of the Profits Interest Units as of the date of issuance of such Profits Interest
Units. In the event that the Company makes a safe harbor election as described in the preceding sentence, each Member hereby agrees to comply with all safe harbor requirements with respect to Transfers of Units while the safe harbor election remains
effective. For the avoidance of doubt, all Profits Interest Units shall be subject to the rights of the holders of Units to drag along the holders of Profits Interest Units pursuant to Section 11.3. 

3.5 Issuance of Additional Units and Interests. The Board has the power and authority to cause the Company to issue
(a) additional Units or other interests in the Company (including to create and issue other classes or series having different rights), (b) obligations, evidences of Indebtedness or other securities or interests convertible or exchangeable
into Units or other interests in the Company, and (c) warrants, options or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Units or other interests in the Company (collectively, “Equity Securities,” which include the Units issued
as of the date hereof); provided that (i) the Company shall not issue any Units other than the Initial Units to any Initial Member, (ii) Members shall have no preemptive rights, and (iii) at any time following the date hereof, the
Company shall not issue Units to any Person unless such Person shall have executed and delivered a counterpart or joinder to this Agreement. In such event, (A) the rights of Members in respect of Units or interests of any class or series shall
be diluted on a pro rata basis based on holdings of such Units or other interests of such class or series, including adjustments in Percentage Interest to accommodate the dilutive effect, and (B) the Board shall have the power and authority to
amend the Schedule of Members solely to reflect such additional issuances and dilution and to make any such other amendments as it deems necessary or desirable to reflect such additional issuances consistent with the foregoing (including power and
authority to amend this Agreement to increase the authorized number of Units of any class or create a new class of Units and to add the terms of such new class including economic and governance rights which may be different from the Initial Units or
any other outstanding Equity Securities).  
 3.6 Purchase of Units. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Board
may cause the Company to purchase or otherwise acquire Units; provided that this provision shall not in and of itself obligate any Member to sell any Units to the Company. So long as any such Units are owned by or on behalf of the Company such Units
will not be considered outstanding for any purpose.

federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering and cannot be disposed of unless (i) they are subsequently registered or exempted from registration under the Securities Act and (ii) the provisions of this
Agreement have been complied with; 
 (b) Other than the Members who are Initial Service Providers, such Member is an “accredited
investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended by Section 413(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and agrees that he or it will not take any action that could have
an adverse effect on the availability of the exemption from registration provided by Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act with respect to the offer and sale of the Units; 

(c) Such Member’s Units are being acquired for his or its own account solely for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution
thereof; 
 (d) Such Member has conducted his or its own independent review and analysis of the business, operations, assets, liabilities,
results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company and such Member acknowledges that it has been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, premises and records of the Company for such purpose; 

  
 13 

 (e) The determination of such Member to acquire Units has been made by such Member independent of
any other Member, and neither the Company nor Calavo has made any statements to such Member as to the advisability of such acquisition or as to the business, operations, assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition and prospects
of the Company; 
 (f) Such Member has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of an investment in the Company and making an informed decision with respect thereto; 
 (g) Such Member is able to bear
the economic and financial risk of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time, is able to bear the economic risk and lack of liquidity of an investment in the Company, and is able to bear the risk of loss of such Member’s
entire investment in the Company; 
 (h) Such Member understands that the operations, financial condition and results of operations of the
Company are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and that there is no guarantee that an investment in the Company will be profitable; 

(i) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by such Member and do not require such Member to

instrument to which such Member is a party or by which such Member is bound; 
 (j) Neither the issuance of any Units to any Member nor any
provision contained herein will entitle the Member to remain in the employment of the Company or affect the right of the Company to terminate the Member’s employment at any time for any reason, other than as otherwise provided in such
Member’s employment agreement or other similar agreement with the Company, if applicable; and 
 (k) Such Member who is an Initial
Service Provider is providing the Company with bona fide services and is permitted to purchase his Initial Units in light of those services and not for any other reason, such as being a customer or supplier of the Company.

no Member will be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company or other Members, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any loans to the Company from Calavo or from any other
Member, solely by reason of being a Member. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and
affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on any of the Members for liabilities of the Company. 

  
 14 

 4.6 Lack of Authority. No Member in its capacity as such has the authority or power
to act for or on behalf of the Company in any manner, to do any act that would be (or could be construed as) binding on the Company or to make any expenditures on behalf of the Company, and the Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Board of
the powers conferred on it by law and this Agreement. 
 4.7 Members Right to Act. For situations for which the
approval of the Members (rather than the approval of the Board on behalf of the Members) is required by this Agreement or by applicable law, the Members shall act by Majority Vote through meetings and written consents as described in this
Section 4.7. The actions by the Members permitted hereunder may be taken at a meeting called by the Board or Members holding more than 50% of the aggregate number of outstanding Units on at least five (5) days’ prior written
notice to the other Members, which notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is being called. The actions taken by the Members entitled to vote or consent at any meeting (as opposed to by written consent), however called and
noticed, shall be as valid as though taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if (but not until), either before, at or after the meeting, the Members entitled to vote or consent as to whom the meeting was improperly held sign a
written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. The actions by the Members entitled to vote or consent may be taken by vote of the Members entitled to vote or consent at a meeting, or by
written consent (without a meeting) so long as a Majority Vote is obtained. Prompt notice of the action so taken without a meeting shall be given to those Members entitled to vote or consent who have not consented in writing. Any action taken
pursuant to such written consent of the Members shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the Members at a meeting thereof.  

4.8 No Right of Partition. No Member shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of law of any
Company property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Company. 
 4.9 Indemnification. 

(a) Indemnification of Directors. Each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise
involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the
Delaware Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Delaware Act to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Delaware Act
to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by each Person entitled to receive indemnification
hereunder (each an “Indemnified Person”) in connection therewith. 
 (b) Right to Advancement of Expenses. The
rights to indemnification conferred in Section 4.9(a) shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The
rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in Sections 4.9(a) and 4.9(b) shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an 

  
 15 

 
Indemnified Person who has ceased to be a Director and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Person’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. Any repeal or
modification of any of the provisions of this Section 4.9 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an Indemnified Person existing at the time of such repeal or modification. 

(c) Indemnification of Service Providers. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights of
indemnification and advancement of expenses to any Service Provider or other Persons, including any Member, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 4.9 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of
Directors. 
 (d) The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 4.9 shall not be
exclusive of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, law, vote of the Board or otherwise. 

(e) The Board may determine to have the Company maintain insurance, at the Company’s expense, to protect any Person against any expense,
liability or loss relating to the Company or its business whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such expense, liability or loss under the provisions of this Section 4.9. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including in this Section 4.9), any indemnity by the Company
relating to the matters covered in this Section 4.9 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only and neither the Board nor any other Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing or is found in a final
decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have personal liability on account thereof) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity of the Company
(except as expressly provided herein). 
 (g) Savings Clause. If this Section 4.9 or any portion hereof shall be
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person and other Person authorized by the Board to be indemnified pursuant to this
Section 4.9 to the fullest extent required by any applicable portion of this Section 4.9 that shall not have been invalidated. 

(h) Survival. The provisions of this Section 4.9 shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up and
termination of the Company. 
 ARTICLE V 

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS 
 5.1
Initial Cash Capital Contributions. Each Member has made or contemporaneously with the execution hereof shall make a Capital Contribution in cash to the Company in the amount set forth opposite such Member’s name on the Schedule of
Members or, as to an Initial Service Provider, in the amount set forth in such Initial Service Provider’s Unit notice, and shall receive Units with respect to each such Member’s Capital Contribution, as set forth on the Schedule of
Members (as such Schedule may be amended by the Board of Managers to reflect any additional issuances of Units after the Effective Date) or, as to an Initial Service 

  
 16 

 
Provider, as set forth in such Initial Service Provider’s Unit notice. The Company and the Members acknowledge that the Company shall repay a portion of the Amended and Restated Promissory
Note, dated June 30, 2013, in the original principal amount of $500,000, payable to the order of Peter Hajas, by converting the unpaid balance as of the date hereof of the principal and accrued interest into a Capital Contribution of Peter
Hajas in an amount equal to Peter Hajas’ initial Capital Contribution (i.e., $79,442). 
 5.2 Additional Capital
Contributions. No Member shall make any additional Capital Contributions to the Company. If at any time, or from time to time, the Board determines the Company has inadequate capital to accomplish its business objectives and goals, the Board may
in its sole discretion issue and sell Equity Securities, from time to time, as contemplated in Section 3.5, to third parties, and any such Person may be admitted to the Company as an Additional Member with a new class of Units, as
applicable, in accordance with Article III, and the individual ownership interest in the Company of each of the Members shall be reduced on a pro rata basis to accommodate any dilutive effect.  

5.3 Capital Accounts. The Company shall maintain a separate Capital Account for each Member according to the rules of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). In accordance with such Treasury Regulation, the Capital Account of each Member shall be (i) increased by any Capital Contributions made by such Member and such Member’s share of items of income
and gain allocated to such Member pursuant to Article VI and (ii) decreased by such Member’s share of items of loss, deduction and expense allocated to such Member pursuant to Article VI and any Distributions to such Member
of cash or the Fair Market Value of any other property distributed to such Member. The Company may (in the sole discretion of the Board), upon the occurrence of the events specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-(b)(2)(iv)(f), increase
or decrease the Capital Accounts in accordance with the rules of such regulation and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) to reflect a revaluation of Company property. 

5.4 Negative Capital Accounts. No Member shall be required to pay to any other Member or the Company any deficit or negative
balance that may exist from time to time in such Member’s Capital Account (including upon and after dissolution of the Company). 

5.5 No Withdrawal. No Person shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Person’s Capital Contributions or Capital
Account or to receive any Distribution from the Company, except as expressly provided herein. 
 5.6 Loans From Members. The
Board is authorized to permit loans from Members to the Company on such terms as it determines are appropriate; provided, that the Board hereby approves loans of up to $3,000,000 from Calavo to the Company under the 2013 Line of Credit and Security
Agreement between Calavo and the Company (the “Line of Credit Agreement”). Loans by Members to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions. If any Member shall loan funds to the Company in excess of the amounts
required hereunder to be contributed by such Member to the capital of the Company, the making of such loans shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such Member. The amount of any such loans shall be a debt of the
Company to such Member and shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans are made. 

  
 17 

 5.7 Distributions In-Kind. To the extent that the Company distributes property
in-kind to the Members, the Company shall be treated as making a distribution equal to the Fair Market Value of such property for purposes of Section 6.1 and such property shall be treated as if it were sold for an amount equal to its
Fair Market Value (or such other amount as is required to be used by the Code or applicable Treasury Regulation) and any resulting gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in accordance with Sections 6.3
through 6.5. 
 5.8 Transfer of Units. In the event of a Transfer of one or more Units pursuant to
Article XI, the Transferee shall succeed to the Transferor’s Capital Account with respect to such transferred Unit or Units, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(l). 

ARTICLE VI 

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS 

6.1 Distributions. 
 (a)
General. Subject to the limitation set forth in the last sentence of this Section 6.1(a), Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.1(d), the Board shall have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of
Distributions to Members, including to decide to forego payment of Distributions in order to provide for the retention and establishment of reserves of, or payment to third parties of, such funds as it deems necessary with respect to the reasonable
business needs of the Company (which needs may include the payment or the making of provision for the payment when due of the Company’s obligations, including, but not limited to, present and anticipated debts and obligations, capital needs and
expenses, the payment of any management or administrative fees and expenses, and reasonable reserves for contingencies), provided, however, that no Distributions, other than Tax Advances described in Section 6.1(c), shall be made to the
Members prior to the date on which Calavo’s loans to the Company, if any, under the Line of Credit Agreement have been repaid in full. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any
Distribution to Members if such Distribution would violate § 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other applicable law. 
 (b) Priority of
Distributions. After making all Distributions required for a given Fiscal Year under Section 6.1(c) and subject to the priority of Distributions pursuant to Article XIII, if applicable, all Distributions determined to be
made by the Board pursuant to Section 6.1(a) shall be made to the Members pro rata, pari passu in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, provided, however, that each Member who is an Initial Service Provider
authorizes and directs the Company to first apply any and all Distributions (other than Tax Advances) to such Member against such Member’s Promissory Note until the Promissory Note is paid in full. 

(c) Tax Advances. To the extent funds of the Company are available for distribution by the Company (as determined by the Board in its
sole discretion), the Board shall cause the Company to distribute to the Members with respect to each Fiscal Quarter an amount of cash (a “Tax Advance”) which in the good faith judgment of the Board equals (i) the amount of net
taxable income (adjusted to take account of any net taxable losses of the Company allocable to the Members in prior periods that have not previously been taken into account for 

  
 18 

 
this purpose) of the Company allocable to the Members as Net Income under Section 6.3(a) in respect of such Fiscal Quarter, multiplied by (ii) the combined maximum U.S. federal,
state, and local income tax rate to be applied with respect to such taxable income (calculated by using the highest maximum combined marginal U.S. federal, state and local income tax rates determined by the Board to be appropriate and taking into
account the character of such taxable income and the deductibility of state income tax for federal income tax purposes) for such Fiscal Quarter (making an appropriate adjustment for any rate changes that take place during such period), with all such
calculations to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Each Tax Advance shall be distributed to the Members in the same proportions that taxable income was determined by the Board to be allocable to the Members in respect of such Fiscal
Quarter. Any Distributions made pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as advances on Distributions pursuant to Section 6.1(b) and shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the amount otherwise
distributable to such Member pursuant to Section 6.1(b). 
 (d) If the Company has loaned money to a Member or to a
Member’s Affiliate (including, without limitation, a corporation, limited liability company or other entity controlled by the Member), the Company shall be entitled to apply all or a portion of a Distribution that is otherwise payable to the
Member to the repayment of the principal and accrued interest that is due and payable on such loan and, in such event, the Member shall not receive the portion of the Distribution that is applied to the repayment of such loan. 

6.2 Tax Withholding; Withholding Advances. 

(a) Tax Withholding. If requested by the Board, each Member shall, if legally able to do so, deliver to the Board: 

(i) an affidavit in form satisfactory to the Board that the applicable Member (or its members, as the case may be) is not subject to
withholding under the provisions of any federal, state, local, foreign or other applicable law; 
 (ii) any certificate that the Board may
reasonably request with respect to any such laws; and/or 
 (iii) any other form or instrument reasonably requested by the Board relating
to any Member’s status under such law. 
 If a Member fails or is unable to deliver to the Board the affidavit described in
Section 6.2(a)(i), the Board may withhold amounts from such Member in accordance with Section 6.2(b). 
 (b)
Withholding Advances. The Company is hereby authorized at all times to make payments (“Withholding Advances”) with respect to each Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company (as determined by the
Tax Matters Partner based on the advice of legal or tax counsel to the Company) to withhold or make payments to any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority (a “Taxing Authority”) with respect to any Distribution or
allocation by the Company of income or gain to such Member and to withhold the same from Distributions to such Member. Any funds withheld from a Distribution by reason of this Section 6.2(b) shall nonetheless be deemed Distributed to the
Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement and, at the option of the Board, shall be charged against the Member’s Capital Account. 

  
 19 

 (c) Repayment of Withholding Advances. Any Withholding Advance made by the Company to a
Taxing Authority on behalf of a Member and not simultaneously withheld from a Distribution to that Member shall, with interest thereon accruing from the date of payment at a rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on
the date of payment plus two percent (2.0%) per annum (the “Company Interest Rate”): 
 (i) be promptly repaid to the
Company by the Member on whose behalf the Withholding Advance was made (which repayment by the Member shall not constitute a Capital Contribution, but shall credit the Member’s Capital Account if the Board shall have initially charged the
amount of the Withholding Advance to the Capital Account); or 
 (ii) with the consent of the Board, be repaid by reducing the amount of
the next succeeding Distribution or Distributions to be made to such Member (which reduction amount shall be deemed to have been Distributed to the Member, but which shall not further reduce the Member’s Capital Account if the Board shall have
initially charged the amount of the Withholding Advance to the Capital Account). 
 Interest shall cease to accrue from the time the Member on whose behalf
the Withholding Advance was made repays such Withholding Advance (and all accrued interest) by either method of repayment described above. 

(d) Indemnification. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any
liability with respect to taxes, interest or penalties which may be asserted by reason of the Company’s failure to deduct and withhold tax on amounts Distributable or allocable to such Member. The provisions of this Section 6.2(d)
and the obligations of a Member pursuant to Section 6.2(c) shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company and the withdrawal of such Member from the Company or Transfer of its Units. The Company may
pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 6.2(d), including bringing a lawsuit to collect repayment with interest of any Withholding Advances. 

(e) Overwithholding. Neither the Company nor the Board shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any Distribution or
allocation of income or gain to a Member. In the event of an overwithholding, a Member’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Taxing Authority. 

6.3 Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. 

(a) Allocations of Net Income. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 6.4 and 6.5, Net
Income (excluding the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or the liquidation of the Company) for any Fiscal Year, including the full 2013 Fiscal Year, shall be allocated for Tax purposes and accounting purposes, as follows:

 (i) first, to the Members in accordance with the prior allocation of Net Loss to them and to the extent thereof; and 

  
 20 

 (ii) thereafter, any additional Net Income shall be allocated to the Members on a pro rata,
pari passu basis based on their Percentage Interests. 
 (b) Allocations of Net Loss. After giving effect to the special
allocations set forth in Sections 6.4 and 6.5, Net Loss (excluding the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or the liquidation of the Company) for any Fiscal Year, including the full 2013 Fiscal Year,
shall be allocated for Tax purposes and accounting purposes among the Members, first, in accordance with positive Capital Account balances to the extent thereof, and the balance, to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests (in the
manner that Net Income is allocated under Section 6.3(a)(ii)). 
 (c) Allocations of Losses and Income for Financial Statement
Purposes. To the extent permitted by GAAP, the Company’s losses and income that are determined for accounting purposes in connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements shall also be allocated for each
Fiscal Year, including for the full 2013 Fiscal Year, to the Members in accordance with the allocation principles that are described in Sections 6.3(a) and 6.3(b) for Net Loss and Net Income. 

6.4 Special Allocations. 

(a) Net Loss attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated in the
manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a Taxable Year in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3)), Net Income for such Taxable
Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) shall be allocated to the Members in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 6.4(a) is intended to
be a “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. 

(b) Nonrecourse deductions (as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any Taxable Year shall be allocated
to each Member ratably among such Members based upon the number of outstanding Units held by each such Member immediately prior to such allocation. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.4(a), if there is a net decrease in the Minimum
Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member shall be allocated Net Income for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 6.4(b) is intended to be a Minimum Gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent
therewith. 
 (c) If any Member that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any Taxable Year, computed after the application of Sections 6.4(a) and 6.4(b) but before the application of any other
provision of this Article VI, then Net Income for such Taxable Year shall be allocated to such Member in 

  
 21 

 
proportion to, and to the extent of, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. This Section 6.4(c) is intended to be a qualified income offset provision as described in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. 
 (d) Net Income and Net Loss shall
be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner that the adjustments to the Capital Accounts are required to be made pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(k) and (m). 

(e) The allocations set forth in Section 6.4(a)-(d) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply
with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to allocate Net Income and Net Loss of the Company or make Company
distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VI, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, income, gain, deduction, and loss shall be reallocated among the Members so as to eliminate the effect of the
Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Members to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Net Income and Net Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss)
had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other Net Income and Net Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss)
among the Members so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Member is zero. In addition, if in any Fiscal Year or Fiscal Period there is a decrease in partnership Minimum Gain, or in partner
nonrecourse debt Minimum Gain, and application of the Minimum Gain chargeback requirements set forth in Section 6.4(a) or Section 6.4(b) would cause a distortion in the economic arrangement among the Members, the Members may,
if they do not expect that the Company will have sufficient other income to correct such distortion, request the Internal Revenue Service to waive either or both of such Minimum Gain chargeback requirements. If such request is granted, this
Agreement shall be applied in such instance as if it did not contain such Minimum Gain chargeback requirement. 
 (f) The Members
acknowledge that allocations like those described in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii)(c) (“Forfeiture Allocations”) result from the allocations of Net Income and Net Loss provided for in this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company is entitled to make Forfeiture Allocations and, once required by applicable final or temporary guidance, allocations of Net Income and Net Loss will be made in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii)(c) or any successor provision or guidance. 
 6.5 Tax Allocations. 

(a) The income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company will be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes,
among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts; except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable
law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits will be allocated among the Members so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. 

  
 22 

 (b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property
contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax
purposes and its Book Value using any permitted method selected by the Tax Matters Partner. 
 (c) If the Book Value of any Company asset is
adjusted pursuant to the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f) subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation
between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) using any permitted method selected by the Tax Matters Partner. 

(d) Allocations of tax credits, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their
interests in such items as determined by the Board taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii). 

(e) Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.5 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in
any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Loss, Distributions or other Company items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 

6.6 Offsetting Allocations. If, and to the extent that, any Member is deemed to recognize any item of income, gain, deduction or
loss as a result of any transaction between such Member and the Company pursuant to Sections 83, 482, or 7872 of the Code or any similar provision now or hereafter in effect, the Board shall use its reasonable best efforts to allocate any
corresponding Net Income or Net Loss of the Company to the Member who recognizes such item in order to reflect the Members’ economic interest in the Company. 

6.7 Transfer of Units to Calavo. In the event that an Initial Service Provider’s Initial Units are transferred to Calavo
Section 3.3 or a Promissory Note, the Capital Account balance attributable to such Initial Units shall be allocated to Calavo, and appropriate adjustments will be made to Calavo’s Percentage Interest.  

6.8 Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Member. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.5
and 7.6, if the Company is required by law to make any payment to a Governmental Entity that is specifically attributable to a Member or a Member’s status as such (including federal withholding taxes, state personal property taxes, and
state unincorporated business taxes), then such Member shall indemnify and contribute to the Company in full the entire amount paid (including interest, penalties and related expenses). The Board may offset Distributions to which a Person is
otherwise entitled under this Agreement against such Person’s obligation to indemnify the Company under this Section 6.8. A Member’s obligation to indemnify and make contributions to the Company under this
Section 6.8 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company, and for purposes of this Section 6.8, the Company shall be treated as continuing in existence. The Company may pursue and
enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 6.8, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such indemnification and contribution with interest at the applicable statutory rate. 

  
 23 

 6.9 Allocations for Partial Fiscal Years. All Net Income and Net Loss shall be
allocated, and all distributions shall be made to the Persons shown on the records of the Company to have been Members as of the last day of the fiscal year for which the allocation or distribution is to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
unless the Company’s fiscal year is separated into segments, if there is a Transfer during the fiscal year, the Net Income and Net Loss shall be allocated between the original Member and the successor on the basis of the number of days each was
a Member during the fiscal year; provided, however, in the event of such a Transfer the Company’s fiscal year shall be segregated into two or more segments in order to account for Net Income, Net Loss, or proceeds attributable to a Sale of the
Company or to any other extraordinary nonrecurring items of the Company. 
 ARTICLE VII 

MANAGEMENT 
 7.1 Board
of Directors. 
 (a) Board’s Power, Authority and Duties. The Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) shall be the governing body of the Company and shall be responsible for the management, operation and control of the business and affairs of the Company. The Board shall constitute the “manager” of the Company for
purposes of the Delaware Act, and the Board shall have, and is hereby granted, the full and complete power, authority and sole discretion for, on behalf of and in the name of the Company, to take such actions as it may in its sole discretion deem
necessary or advisable to carry out any and all of the objectives and purposes of the Company, subject only to the terms of this Agreement. However, no individual member of the Board shall have the authority to act on his own as a
“manager” of the Company for purposes of the Delaware Act. 
 (b) Composition of the Board; Removal of Directors;
Vacancies. The Board shall consist of a minimum of three members, with the exact number of Board members to be determined from time to time by Calavo and with the initial number of Board members to be four until increased or decreased by Calavo.
Each member of the Board shall be appointed by Calavo. The first four members of the Board are Lecil E. Cole, who shall function as Chairman of the Board, Michael R. Lippold, J. Link Leavens and Arthur J. Bruno. Each member of the Board shall remain
in office until his death, resignation or earlier removal from office by Calavo. Calavo shall have the power to remove any or all Directors for any reason and appoint new Directors; provided, however, that Calavo may not remove Michael R.
Lippold as a Director unless his employment with the Company is terminated by the Company or him. Any Director may resign at any time upon notice to the Board. Any vacancy occurring in the Board may be filled at any time by Calavo. 

(c) Meetings of the Board. 

(i) Generally. The Board shall meet at such times and at such places (including meetings by conference calls) as are determined from
time to time by the Chairman of the Board or by at least two other Directors on at least twelve (12) hours’ notice to each Director, either personally, by telephone, by facsimile, by e-mail or by mail, unless all of the Directors agree to
meet on shorter notice. 

  
 24 

 (ii) Quorum; Action by the Board; Remote Participation. A majority of the Directors shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board. At all times when the Board is conducting business at a meeting of the Board, a quorum of the Board must be present at such meeting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the
Directors present at a meeting in which a quorum is present shall be required to take action at a Board meeting and shall constitute valid and binding action by the Board. One or more Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of
conference telephone or other electronic technology by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this subsection (ii) shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

 (d) Action by Written Consent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any action of the Board may be taken without a
meeting if a written consent of a majority of the Directors shall approve such action. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote at a meeting where a quorum was present and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed
with the Secretary of State of Delaware. 
 (e) Compensation; No Employment. 

(i) Directors shall receive such compensation, if any, for their services in such capacity as may be designated by the Board, from time to
time. In addition, each Director shall be reimbursed for his reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of his duties as a Director, pursuant to such policies as from time to time are established by the Board. Nothing contained in
this Section 7.1(e) shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Company or Calavo in any other capacity and receiving reasonable compensation for such services. 

(ii) This Agreement does not, and is not intended to, confer upon any Director any rights with respect to continued employment by the Company
or Calavo, and nothing herein should be construed to have created any employment agreement with any Director. 
 (f) The resignation,
withdrawal or removal of a Director who is also a Member shall not, itself, affect the Director’s rights as a Member, if applicable, and shall not constitute a withdrawal of a Member. 

7.2 Delegation of Authority. The Board may, from time to time, delegate to one or more Persons such authority and duties as the
Board may deem advisable. Any delegation pursuant to this Section 7.2 may be revoked at any time by the Board in its sole discretion. 

7.3 Chief Executive Officer. The Company shall have a Chief Executive Officer (the “Chief Executive Officer”). Subject
to such powers, duties and responsibilities, if any, as may be given by the Board to the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer shall be responsible for the general management and affairs of the Company and shall perform all duties

  
 25 

 
incidental to his office which may be required by law and all such other duties as are properly required of him by the Board. The Chief Executive Officer shall, subject to the control of the
Board, have general supervision, direction and control of the business and officers of the Company. Lecil E. Cole shall be the Company’s first Chief Executive Officer. Calavo’s Board of Directors shall approve the Chief Executive
Officer’s compensation. 
 7.4 General Manager. The Company shall have a general manager (the “General
Manager”), who shall have such power, authority and duties regarding the day-to-day management of the Company and other matters as are assigned to him from time to time by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer. Michael R. Lippold shall
be the Company’s first General Manager, and he shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. The Board shall approve the General Manager’s compensation. The Board has the power to remove at any time and replace the General Manager.
 
 7.5 Other Officers, Employees and Consultants. The Company shall have such other officers, employees and
consultants as the Board determines from time to time are necessary or advisable, and such officers and employees shall have any such titles as the Board determines are necessary or advisable. The Board shall approve the compensation of each of such
officers, employees and consultants or may elect to grant that authority to the Chief Executive Officer or the General Manager with respect to some or all of such officers, employees or consultants. Each such officer, employee and consultant shall
have such power, authority and duties as are assigned to him from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer or by the General Manager if the Board elects in its sole discretion to authorize the General Manager to assign such power, authority and
duties. In absence of an express statement of powers and authority of an officer, each officer shall have the power and authority normally and customarily vested in such officers of a corporation. Any number of offices may be held by the same person
and no officer need be a Member. Except for the Chief Executive Officer, each officer, employee and consultant shall report directly to the General Manager or to another person or persons designated by the General Manager, provided that the Board
has the power to designate that any such officer, employee or consultant shall instead report directly to the Board or to the Chief Executive Officer. The Board has the power to remove at any time and replace any officer, employee or consultant of
the Company. 
 7.6 Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any agreement entered into by
such Person and the Company, and to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware Act, no present or former member of the Board shall be liable to the Company or to any other Member for any act or omission performed or omitted by such Person in good
faith in his capacity as a member of the Board; provided that such limitation of liability shall not apply to the extent the act or omission was attributable to such Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of law or
this Agreement or any other agreement with the Company. The Board shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts, including financial advisors, and any act of or failure to act by the
Board in good faith reliance on such advice shall in no event subject the Board or any of its Affiliates, employees, agents or representatives to liability to the Company or any Member. 

  
 26

Company’s business, including all books and records necessary to provide any information, lists and copies of documents required to be provided pursuant to the Delaware Act and other applicable laws. All matters concerning (a) the
determination of the relative amount of allocations and distributions among the Members pursuant to Articles V and VI, and (b) accounting procedures and determinations, and other determinations not specifically and
expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall be determined by the Board, whose determination shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Members absent manifest clerical error. 

8.2 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year (the “Fiscal Year”) of the Company shall be November 1 to October 31, or
such other annual accounting period as may be established by the Board. 
 8.3 Reports.  

(a) The Company shall, upon the written request of any Member, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Member with reasonable promptness,
information and financial data concerning the Company requested by the Member but only to the extent the delivery of such information and data is expressly required by the Delaware Act or is necessary for any of such Member to consummate a Transfer
of Units permitted by this Agreement; provided further that furnishing such information and data shall not be financially burdensome on the Company or the Board, or unreasonably time consuming for the employees of the Board or the Company. 

(b) Subject to the availability of information, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered, within 90 days
after the end of each Fiscal Year, to each Person who was a Member at any time during such Fiscal Year all information with respect to such Person’s Units which is necessary for the preparation of such Person’s United States federal and
state income tax returns, including a Schedule K-1. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Company will use reasonable efforts to deliver, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, financial statements of the Company for such year,
including a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement, to each Member, provided that each Member must maintain the confidentiality of such financial statements. 

ARTICLE IX 
 COVENANTS

 9.1 Confidentiality. Each Member recognizes and acknowledges that it has and may in the future receive certain confidential
and proprietary information and trade secrets of the Company and its Affiliates that are not generally known to the public, including, but not limited to, information concerning business plans, financial statements and other information provided
pursuant to this Agreement, identifiable, specific and discrete business opportunities being pursued by the Company, operating practices and methods, expansion plans, strategic plans, marketing plans, contracts, customer and supplier lists or other
business documents which the 

  
 27 

 
Company treats as confidential, in any format whatsoever (including oral, written, electronic or any other form or medium) (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Except as
otherwise agreed to by the Majority Vote of the Members, each Member agrees that it will not, and shall cause each of its directors, officers, members, partners, employees and agents not to, during or after the term of this Agreement, whether
directly or indirectly through an Affiliate or otherwise, take commercial or proprietary advantage of or profit from any Confidential Information or disclose Confidential Information to any Person for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except
(i) to authorized Directors, officers, representatives, agents and employees of the Company and as otherwise may be proper in the course of performing such Member’s obligations, or enforcing such Member’s rights, under this Agreement;
(ii) to any bona fide prospective purchaser of the equity or assets of such Member or its Affiliates or the Units held by such Member, or prospective merger partner of such Member or its Affiliates, provided that such prospective purchaser or
merger partner agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.1 or a comparable agreement; or (iii) as is required to be disclosed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative body or governmental body, or
by subpoena, summons or legal process, or by law, rule or regulation, provided that, to the extent permitted by law, the Member required to make such disclosure shall provide to the Board prompt notice of such disclosure. For purposes of this
Article IX, “Confidential Information” shall not include any information which is disclosed by the Company or Calavo in a prospectus or other documents for dissemination to the public or otherwise becomes generally available
to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Person or any other Person who receives the information from such Person in breach of this Agreement or in breach of any other confidentiality obligation that is owed to the Company or
Calavo. Neither the preceding provisions of this Section 9.1 nor any other provision of this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting Calavo from disclosing any Confidential Information or other information that it is required to
disclose under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder, in connection with a report or other document that Calavo files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

9.2 Non-compete; Non-solicit. 

(a) Non-compete. In light of each Member’s access to Confidential Information and position of trust and confidence with the
Company, each Member hereby agrees that, so long as such Member owns Units (the “Restricted Period”), such Member shall not (i) render services or give advice to, or affiliate with (as employee, partner, consultant or
otherwise), or (ii) directly or indirectly through one or more of any of their respective Affiliates, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any Competitor or any division or business
segment of any Competitor; provided, that nothing in this Section 9.2(a) shall prohibit such Member from acquiring or owning, directly or indirectly, up to 2% of the aggregate voting securities of any Competitor that is a publicly
traded Person; and provided, further, that the restrictions of this Section 9.2 shall cease to apply to a Service Provider who, within six months after a Sale of the Company, ceases to be a Service Provider of the Company by
reason of (i) the Company’s termination of the Service Provider’s employment with, or other service to, the Company without Cause, or (ii) the Service Provider’s termination of his employment with, or other service to, the
Company for Good Reason. 

  
 28 

 (b) Non-solicit of Employees. In light of each Member’s access to Confidential
Information and position of trust and confidence with the Company, each Member further agrees that, during the Restricted Period, he shall not, directly or indirectly through one or more of any of their respective Affiliates, hire or solicit, or
encourage any other Person to hire or solicit, any individual who has been employed by the Company within one (1) year prior to the date of such hiring or solicitation, or encourage any such individual to leave such employment. This
Section 9.2(b) shall not prevent a Member from hiring or soliciting any employee or former employee of the Company who responds to a general solicitation that is a public solicitation of prospective employees and not directed
specifically to any Company employees. 
 (c) Non-solicit of Customers. In light of each Member’s access to Confidential
Information and position of trust and confidence with the Company, each Member further agrees that, during the Restricted Period, he shall not, directly or indirectly through one or more of any of their respective Affiliates, solicit or entice, or
attempt to solicit or entice, any customers or suppliers of the Company for purposes of diverting their business from the Company. 
 (d)
Blue Pencil. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the covenants set forth in this Article IX, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, such court
shall have the power to modify any such unenforceable provision in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision,
adding additional language to this Article IX or by making such other modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the parties as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. The parties
hereto expressly agree that this Agreement as so modified by the court shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of them. 
 9.3
Inventions. All processes, designs, technologies and inventions relating to the business of the Company (collectively, “Inventions”), including new contributions, improvements, ideas, discoveries, trademarks and trade names,
conceived, developed, invented, made or found by a Service Provider, alone or with others, during his employment or consultancy with the Company, whether or not patentable and whether or not conceived, developed, invented, made or found on the
Company’s time or with the use of the Company’s facilities or materials, shall be the property of the Company and shall be promptly and fully disclosed by the Service Provider to the Company. The Service Providers shall perform all
necessary acts (including, without limitation, executing and delivering any confirmatory assignments, documents or instruments requested by the Company) to assign or otherwise to vest title to any such Inventions in the Company and to enable the
Company, at its sole expense, to secure and maintain patents or any other rights for such Inventions. As used in this Article IX, the term “the business of the Company” shall mean whatever business the Company is conducting
at the relevant time. 
 9.4 Other Business Activities. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement: (a) each of Calavo, Fresh Benefit, Inc. (“Fresh Benefit”), of which David Ominsky and William Farrell III are officers 

  
 29 

 
and/or beneficial owners of equity securities, and their respective Affiliates are permitted to have, and presently have or may in the future have, investments or other business relationships,
ventures, agreements or arrangements with entities engaged in business that is not directly competitive with the business of the Company (an “Other Business”); (b) none of Calavo, Fresh Benefit or their respective Affiliates
will be prohibited by virtue of Calavo’s and Messrs. Ominsky and Farrell III’s respective investment in the Company from pursuing and engaging in any such activities; (c) none of Calavo, Fresh Benefit or their respective Affiliates

interest in a Business Opportunity and any expectancy that a Business Opportunity will be offered to it; (d) nothing contained herein shall limit, prohibit or restrict any Director, who is also a Calavo director, from serving on the board of
directors or other governing body or committee of any Other Business; and (e) the Members will not acquire, be provided with an option or opportunity to acquire, or be entitled to any interest or participation in any Other Business as a result
of the participation therein of any of Calavo, Fresh Benefit or their respective Affiliates. The parties hereto expressly authorize and consent to the involvement of Calavo, Fresh Benefit and/or their respective Affiliates in any Other
Business. The parties hereto expressly waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any rights to assert any claim that such involvement breaches any fiduciary or other duty or obligation owed by Calavo, David Ominsky or William
Farrell III to the Company or any Member or to assert that such involvement constitutes a conflict of interest by Calavo, David Ominsky or William Farrell III with respect to the Company or any Member. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 9.4, Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 shall remain in effect. 
 9.5 Violations. If any Member
breaches any provision of this Article IX, or in the event that any such breach is threatened by any Member, in addition to and without limiting or waiving any other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company shall be
entitled to immediate injunctive relief in any court, domestic or foreign, having the capacity to grant such relief, to restrain any such breach or threatened breach and to enforce the provisions of this Article IX. The parties hereto
expressly acknowledge and agree that, among the Company’s other rights and remedies, the Company shall not be required to make any payments or distributions to a Member under this Agreement or under an employment agreement or consulting
agreement between a Member who is a Service Provider and the Company if such Member violates any agreement or duty under this Article IX. The Company has a right to buy a breaching Member’s Units for his cash Capital Contribution to the
Company in respect of such Units, and any unpaid Promissory Note shall be repaid if the Company buys an Initial Service Provider’s Units on his breach.

execute and deliver a counterpart or joinder to this Agreement pursuant to which such Transferee shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. 

11.2 Right of First Refusal. 

(a) Offered Units. At any time prior to the consummation of a Public Offering or an Approved Sale, and subject to the terms and
conditions specified in this Article XI (including, without limitation, Section 11.1), the Company, first, and each Member holding Units, second, shall have a right of first refusal if any Member other than Calavo (the
“Offering Member”) receives a bona fide offer that the Offering Member desires to accept to Transfer all or any portion of the Units (the “Offered Units”) it or he owns. As used herein, the term “Applicable
ROFR Rightholders” shall mean, in the case of a proposed Transfer of Units, all Members other than the Offering Member holding Units, and the term “Offering Member” shall exclude Calavo. 

  
 31 

 (b) Offering; Exceptions. Each time the Offering Member receives an offer for a Transfer
of any of its or his Units other than Transfers that (i) are Permitted Transfers, or (ii) are proposed to be made by a dragging Member or required to be made by a Member dragged along pursuant to Section 11.3 in connection with
an Approved Sale or a Public Offering, the Offering Member shall first make an offering of the Offered Units to the Company, first, and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders, second, all in accordance with the following provisions of this
Section 11.2, prior to Transferring such Offered Units to the proposed purchaser. 
 (c) Offer Notice. 

(i) The Offering Member shall, within five (5) business days of receipt of the Transfer offer, give written notice (the
“Offering Member Notice”) to the Company and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders stating that it has received a signed, bona fide offer for a Transfer of its or his Units and specifying: (A) the number of Offered Units to be
Transferred by the Offering Member; (B) the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Transfer, which shall not be less than 60 (sixty) business days from the date of the Offering Member Notice; (C) the purchase price per
Offered Unit (which shall be payable solely in cash) and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer; and (D) the name of the Person who has offered to purchase such Offered Units. The Offering Member Notice shall be accompanied by
a copy of the signed offer from the proposed purchaser. 
 (ii) The Offering Member Notice shall constitute the Offering Member’s
offer to Transfer the Offered Units to the Company and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders, which offer shall be irrevocable until the end of the ROFR Rightholder Option Period described in Section 11.2(d)(iii). 

(iii) By delivering the Offering Member Notice, the Offering Member represents and warrants to the Company and each Applicable ROFR
Rightholder that: (A) the Offering Member has full right, title and interest in and to the Offered Units; (B) the Offering Member has all the necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to Transfer such Offered Units
as contemplated by this Section 11.2; (C) the Offered Units are free and clear of any and all liens other than those arising as a result of or under the terms of this Agreement; and (D) the Offered Units are the subject of a
bona fide offer from the proposed purchaser. 
 (d) Exercise of Right of First Refusal.  

(i) Upon receipt of the Offering Member Notice, the Company and each Applicable ROFR Rightholder shall have the right to purchase the Offered
Units in the following order of priority: first, the Company shall have the right to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Units in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.2(d)(ii), and thereafter, the Applicable ROFR
Rightholders shall have the right to purchase the Offered Units, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.2(d)(iii), to the extent the Company does not exercise its right in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders may only exercise their right to purchase the Offered Units if, after giving effect to all elections made under this Section 11.2(d), no less than all of the Offered Units will be purchased by
the Company and/or the Applicable ROFR Rightholders. 

  
 32 

 (ii) The initial right of the Company to purchase any Offered Units shall be exercisable with
the delivery of a written notice (the “Company ROFR Exercise Notice”) by the Company to the Offering Member and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders within ten (10) business days of receipt of the Offering Member Notice (the
“Company Option Period”), stating the number (including where such number is zero) of Offered Units the Company elects irrevocably to purchase on the terms and respective purchase prices set forth in the Offering Member Notice. The
Company ROFR Exercise Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the Company. 
 (iii) If the Company shall have indicated an
intent to purchase any less than all of the Offered Units, the Applicable ROFR Rightholders shall have the right to purchase the remaining Offered Units not selected by the Company. For a period of fifteen (15) business days following the
receipt of a Company ROFR Exercise Notice in which the Company has elected to purchase less than all the Offered Units (such period, the “ROFR Rightholder Option Period”), each Applicable ROFR Rightholder shall have the right to
elect irrevocably to purchase all or none of its Percentage Interest of the remaining Offered Units by delivering a written notice to the Company and the Offering Member (a “Member ROFR Exercise Notice”) specifying its desire to
purchase its Percentage Interest of the remaining Offered Units, on the terms and respective purchase prices set forth in the Offering Member Notice. In addition, each Applicable ROFR Rightholder shall include in its Member ROFR Exercise Notice the
number of remaining Offered Units that it wishes to purchase if any other Applicable ROFR Rightholders do not exercise their rights to purchase their entire Percentage Interest of the remaining Offered Units. Any Member ROFR Exercise Notice shall be
binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the Applicable ROFR Rightholder. 
 (iv) The failure of the Company or any Applicable ROFR
Rightholder to deliver a Company ROFR Exercise Notice or Member ROFR Exercise Notice, respectively, by the end of the Company Option Period or ROFR Rightholder Option Period, respectively, shall constitute a waiver of their respective rights of
first refusal under this Section 11.2(d)(iv) with respect to the Transfer of Offered Units, but shall not affect their respective rights with respect to any future Transfers. 

(e) Allocation of Offered Units. Upon the expiration of the ROFR Rightholder Option Period, the Offered Units not selected for purchase
by the Company pursuant to Section 11.2(d)(ii) shall be allocated for purchase among the Applicable ROFR Rightholders as follows: 

(i) First, to each Applicable ROFR Rightholder having elected to purchase its entire Percentage Interest of such Units, such Applicable ROFR
Rightholder’s Percentage Interest of such Units; and 
 (ii) Second, the balance, if any, not allocated under clause (i) above
(and not purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 11.2(d)(ii)), shall be allocated to those Applicable ROFR Rightholders who set forth in their Member ROFR Exercise Notices a number 

  
 33 

 
of Offered Units that exceeded their respective Percentage Interest (the “Purchasing Rightholders”), in an amount, with respect to each such Purchasing Rightholder, that is equal
to the lesser of: (A) the number of Offered Units that such Purchasing Rightholder elected to purchase in excess of its Percentage Interest; or (B) the product of (x) the number of Offered Units not allocated under clause
(i) (and not purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 11.2(d)(ii)), multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Offered Units that such Purchasing Rightholder was permitted to purchase pursuant to
clause (i), and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Offered Units that all Purchasing Rightholders were permitted to purchase pursuant to clause (i). 

(iii) The process described in clause (ii) shall be repeated until no Offered Units remain or until such time as all Purchasing
Rightholders have been permitted to purchase all Offered Units that they desire to purchase. 
 (f) Consummation of Sale. In the
event that the Company and/or the Applicable ROFR Rightholders shall have, in the aggregate, exercised their respective rights to purchase all and not less than all of the Offered Units, then the Offering Member shall sell such Offered Units to the
Company and/or the Applicable ROFR Rightholders, and the Company and/or the Applicable ROFR Rightholders, as the case may be, shall purchase such Offered Units, within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the ROFR Rightholder Option
Period (which period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed ninety (90) days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain required approvals or consents from any Governmental Authority). Each Member shall take all actions as may be
reasonably necessary to consummate the sale contemplated by this Section 11.2(f), including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate.
At the closing of any sale and purchase pursuant to this Section 11.2(f), the Offering Member shall deliver to the Company and/or the participating Applicable ROFR Rightholders certificates (if any) representing the Offered Units to be
sold, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances (other than those contained in this Agreement), accompanied by evidence of transfer and all necessary transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed, if necessary, against receipt of the purchase price
therefor from the Company and/or such Applicable ROFR Rightholders by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds. 

(g) Sale to Proposed Purchaser. In the event that the Company and/or the Applicable ROFR Rightholders shall not have collectively
elected to purchase all of the Offered Units, then the Offering Member may Transfer all of such Offered Units, at a price per Offered Unit not less than specified in the Offering Member Notice and on other terms and conditions which are not
materially more favorable in the aggregate to the proposed purchaser than those specified in the Offering Member Notice, but only to the extent that such Transfer occurs within sixty (60) days after expiration of the ROFR Rightholder Option
Period. Any Offered Units not Transferred within such 60-day period will be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.2 upon subsequent Transfer. 

(h) Exception to Right of First Refusal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XI or in any other provision
of this Agreement, Calavo (i) may Transfer at any time after the Effective Date all or any portion of the Units it owns, and (ii) is not obligated to provide the Company and the other Members with the right of first refusal described in
this Section 11.2 in connection with any such Transfer. 

  
 34 

 11.3 Approved Sale; Drag Along Obligations; Public Offering. 

(a) If the Board approves a Sale of the Company (an “Approved Sale”), each Member, on ten (10) days’ written notice
from the Board, shall vote for, consent to and raise no objections against such Approved Sale. If the Approved Sale is structured as a (i) merger or consolidation, each Member holding Units shall waive any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or
similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation or (ii) sale of Units, each Member holding Units shall agree to sell all of its or his Units and rights to acquire Units on the terms and conditions approved by the Board. Each
Member holding Units shall take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as requested by the Board. 

(b) The obligations of the Member holding Units with respect to the Approved Sale are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) the consideration payable upon consummation of such Approved Sale to all Members shall be allocated among the Members as if distributed pursuant to Section 6.1(b) (except to the extent that Tax Advances required to have been
made by the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(c) have not been made, in which case such consideration shall first be distributed in respect of all Tax Advances which were not made as required by Section 6.1(c) and then in
accordance with Section 6.1(b)); and (ii) upon the consummation of the Approved Sale, all of the Members holding a particular class of Units shall receive the same amount of consideration per Unit of such class (with any non-cash
consideration valued in good faith by the Board), as reduced for any Member by the aggregate principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest on any debt or other obligations of such Member to the Company. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in connection with an Approved Sale, (i) no Member will be required to make affirmative
representations or warranties except as to such Member’s due power and authority, non-contravention and ownership of Units, free and clear of all liens, and (ii) each Member may be severally (and not jointly) obligated to join on a pro
rata basis in any customary indemnification obligation agreed to by the Board in connection with such Approved Sale, except that each Member may be fully liable for obligations that relate specifically to such Member, such as indemnification with
respect to representations and warranties given by such Member regarding such Member’s title to and ownership of Units; provided that no Member shall be obligated in connection with such Approved Sale to agree to indemnify or hold harmless the
Transferees with respect to any amount in excess of the cash proceeds to which such Member is entitled in such Approved Sale or to make indemnity payments in excess of the net cash proceeds paid to such holder in connection with such Approved Sale;
provided further that any escrow of proceeds of any such transaction shall be withheld on a pro rata basis among all Members. Each Member shall enter into any customary indemnification or contribution agreement reasonably requested by the Board to
ensure compliance with this Section 11.3(c) and the provisions of this Section 11.3(c) shall be deemed complied with if the requirement for several liability is addressed through such agreement, even if the purchase and sale
agreement or merger agreement related to the Approved Sale provides for joint and several liability. 

  
 35 

 (d) If the Company or holders of a majority of the Units enter into any negotiation or
transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation or
other reorganization), any Member who is not an “accredited investor” under Rule 501 under the Securities Act shall, at the request of the holders of a majority of the Units, appoint a “purchaser representative” (as such term is
defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act) designated by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Units. If any Member so appoints a purchaser representative, the Company shall pay the fees of such
purchaser representative. However, if any Member declines to appoint the purchaser representative designated by the Company, such Member shall appoint another purchaser representative (reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the
Units), and such Member shall be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed. 
 (e) Except as otherwise provided
in Section 11.3(d), each Member Transferring Units pursuant to this Section 11.3 shall pay a share of the expenses incurred by the Members in connection with such Transfer on a pro rata basis among all Transferring Members
(including by reducing the portion of the consideration to which such Member would be entitled in such Approved Sale). 
 (f) In addition,
if the Board approves a Public Offering, each Member shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, vote for, consent to (to the extent it has any voting or consenting rights) and raise no objections against any such transaction, and the Company,
the Board and each Member shall take all reasonable actions in connection with the consummation of any such transaction as requested by the Board, including without limitation executing a market stand-off agreement and lock-up agreement as may be
required by the representative of the underwriters. 
 (g) In no manner shall this Section 11.3 be construed to grant to any
Member any dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights or give any Member any right to vote in any transaction structured as a merger or consolidation (it being understood that the Members have expressly waived rights under Section 18-210 of the Delaware Act and any other dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights (if any) and have granted to the Board the sole right to approve or consent to a merger or consolidation of
the Company without approval or consent of the Members). 
 11.4 Void Transfers. Any Transfer by any Member of any Units or other
interest in the Company in contravention of this Agreement in any respect (including the failure of the Transferee to execute and deliver a counterpart or joinder to this Agreement) or which would cause the Company to not be treated as a partnership
for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by the Company or any other party. No purported assignee shall have any right to any profits, losses or distributions of the Company. 

  
 36 

 11.5 Additional Restrictions on Transfer. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article XI, no Transfer of Units or any other interest in the Company may be made
unless in the opinion of counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), satisfactory in form and substance to the Board and counsel for the Company (which opinion may be waived, in whole or in part, at the discretion of the Board), such Transfer
would be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Such opinion of counsel shall be delivered in writing to the Company prior to the date of the Transfer. 

(b) In order to permit the Company to qualify for the benefit of a “safe harbor” under Code Section 7704, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Transfer of any Unit or economic interest shall be permitted or recognized by the Company or the Board (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(d)) if and to the extent that such
Transfer would cause the Company to have more than 100 partners (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h), including the look-through rule in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)). 

11.6 Legend. In the event that certificates representing the Units are issued (“Certificated Units”), such
certificates will bear the following legend: 
 “THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (“STATE ACTS”) AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR STATE ACTS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE TRANSFER OF THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED AND MODIFIED
FROM TIME TO TIME, GOVERNING THE ISSUER AND BY AND AMONG CERTAIN INVESTORS THEREIN. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.” 

11.7 Transfer Fees and Expenses. Except as provided in Sections 11.2 and 11.3, unless waived in writing by the Board in its
sole discretion, the Transferor and Transferee of any Units or other interest in the Company shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the Company for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) of any Transfer
or proposed Transfer, whether or not consummated. 
 ARTICLE XII 

WITHDRAWAL AND RESIGNATION OF MEMBERS 

12.1 Withdrawal and Resignation of Member. No Member shall have the power or right to withdraw or otherwise resign as a Member prior to
the dissolution and winding up of the Company pursuant to Article XIII without the prior written consent of the Board (which consent may be withheld by the Board in its sole discretion), except as otherwise expressly permitted by this
Agreement. Upon a Transfer of all of a Member’s Units in a Transfer permitted by this Agreement, such Member shall cease to be a Member. Notwithstanding that 

  
 37 

 
payment on account of a withdrawal may be made after the effective time of such withdrawal, any completely withdrawing Member will not be considered a Member for any purpose after the effective
time of such complete withdrawal, and, in the case of a partial withdrawal, such Member’s Capital Account (and corresponding voting and other rights) shall be reduced for all other purposes hereunder upon the effective time of such partial
withdrawal. 
 ARTICLE XIII 

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION 

13.1 Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Members or Substituted Members. The Company
shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up only upon the first to occur of the following: 
 (a) Upon the approval at any time
of the Board; or 
 (b) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 35-5 of the Delaware Act or an
administrative dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act. 
 Except as otherwise set forth in this Article XIII, the
Company is intended to have perpetual existence. The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of a Member in the Company shall not
cause a dissolution of the Company, and the Company shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

13.2 Liquidation and Termination. On the dissolution of the Company, the Board shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more
representatives, Members or other Persons as liquidator(s). The liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise
make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine) and proceed diligently to wind up the
affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Delaware Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. The Fair Market Value (as determined by the liquidators) of any remaining assets of the
Company shall, following payment, satisfaction or discharge of all liabilities as determined by the liquidators, be distributed to the holders of Units in accordance with positive Capital Account balances. Until final distribution, the liquidators
shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Board. 
 13.3 Cancellation of
Certificate. On completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided herein, the Company shall be terminated (and the Company shall not be terminated prior to such time), and the Board (or such other Person or Persons as the Delaware Act
may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to this Agreement that are or should be canceled and take such other actions as may be necessary to
terminate the Company. The Company shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is terminated pursuant to this Section 13.3. 

  
 38 

 13.4 Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the
orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.2 in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

Contributions or any portion thereof to the Members (it being understood that any such return shall be made solely from Company assets). 

ARTICLE XIV 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS 
 14.1 Power of Attorney. 

(a) Each Member hereby constitutes and appoints the Board, with full power of substitution, as its or his true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its name, place and stead, to execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record in the appropriate public offices (i) this Agreement, all certificates and other instruments and all
amendments thereof in accordance with the terms hereof which the Board deems appropriate or necessary to form, qualify, or continue the qualification of, the Company as a limited liability company in the State of Delaware and in all other
jurisdictions in which the Company may conduct business or own property; (ii) all instruments which the Board deems appropriate or necessary to reflect any amendment, change, modification or restatement of this Agreement in accordance with its
terms; (iii) all conveyances and other instruments or documents which the Board deems appropriate or necessary to reflect the dissolution and liquidation of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including a certificate of
cancellation; and (iv) all instruments relating to the admission, withdrawal or substitution of any Member pursuant to Article IV or XII. 

(b) The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall survive the death, disability, incapacity,
dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or termination of any Member and the Transfer of all or any portion of his or its Units and shall extend to such Member’s heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives. 

14.2 Amendments. Subject to the express right of the Board to amend this Agreement as expressly provided in this
Section 14.2, including in connection with the issuance of new or additional Equity Securities, or any class or series thereof, this Agreement may be amended, modified, or waived with the Majority Vote of the Units; provided that:
(a) if, after the Effective Date of this Agreement at least one additional class of Units is issued by the Company, any such amendment, modification, or waiver would adversely affect in any material respect the rights, preferences or privileges
of any class of Units relative to another class of Units, such amendment, modification, or waiver shall also require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Units of the class of Units so adversely affected; and (b) if any such
amendment, modification or waiver would materially change the rights or obligations as between members of 

  
 39 

 
the same class of Units with respect to such Units (e.g. grant some but not all Members of a class certain material rights with respect to their Units), such amendment, modification, or
waiver shall also require the approval of at least eighty percent of the outstanding Units of that class of Units. In connection with any amendment, modification or waiver, or other approval hereunder, the Board will have no obligation to provide
any information to any Person unless the consent of such Person is required to be obtained in order to effectuate such amendment, modification or waiver; and provided that the Board shall be required to inform the holders of Units of the substance
and occurrence of any amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Board may, without the consent of any Member, amend the Schedule of Members attached hereto to reflect the admission of any Member or Members, the
creation or issuance of any other Units or interests in the Company and the corresponding adjustments to Percentage Interests or the making of any Capital Contributions, and may amend the Schedule of Members and this Agreement in the manner
described in Section 14.20. 
 14.3 Title to Company Assets. Company assets shall be deemed to be owned by the
Company as an entity, and no Member, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Company assets or any portion thereof. Legal title to any or all Company assets may be held in the name of the Company or one or more
nominees, as the Board may determine. The Board hereby declares and warrants that any Company assets for which legal title is held in the name of any nominee shall be held in trust by such nominee for the use and benefit of the Company in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement. All Company assets shall be recorded as the property of the Company on its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Company assets is held. 

14.4 Remedies. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights
specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. 

14.5 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not. 

14.6 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect
any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been
contained herein. 
 14.7 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  

  
 40 

 14.8 Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the
singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The use of the words “including” or “include” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. Reference to any agreement,
document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if applicable hereof. Wherever required by the context, references to a Fiscal Year
shall refer to a portion thereof. The use of the words “or,” “either” and “any” shall not be exclusive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an

of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Wherever a conflict exists between this Agreement and any other agreement, this Agreement shall control but solely to the extent of such conflict. 

14.9 Applicable Law. This Agreement 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.

 14.11 Creditors. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by
any non-Member creditors of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and no creditor who makes a loan to the Company or any of its Affiliates may have or acquire (except pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement executed by the Company in favor of
such creditor) at any time as a result of making the loan any direct or indirect interest in Company Net Income, Net Loss, Distributions, capital or property other than as a secured creditor. 

14.12 Waiver. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this

 41 

 14.13 Further Action. The parties agree to execute and deliver all documents,
provide all information and take or refrain from taking such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement. 

14.14 Offset. Whenever the Company is to pay any sum to any Member or any Affiliate or related person thereof, any amounts that
such Member or such Affiliate or related person owes to the Company or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement may, to the extent permitted pursuant to applicable law, be deducted from that owed sum before such payment.  

14.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and those documents expressly referred to herein and other documents dated as of even
date herewith, including the Line of Credit Agreement, the Promissory Notes, the Units Pledge and Security Agreements between Calavo and the Initial Service Providers, and the Service Provider Agreement between the Company and David Ominsky, embody
the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

 14.16 Delivery by Facsimile or E-Mail. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement or
instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or e-mail, shall be treated in all manner and
respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or
instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall reexecute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail to deliver a
signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any
such defense. 

  
 42

on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be brought against any of the parties only in any federal or state court located in Los Angeles, California and each of the
parties hereto hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such Action and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any such Action proceeding may be served on any party
anywhere in the world, whether within or without the State of California. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees that service of process upon such party at the address referred to in Section 14.10,
together with written notice of such service to such party, shall be deemed effective service of process upon such party. 
 14.18
Survival. Article IX and this Article XIV shall survive and continue in full force in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the dissolution of the Company. 

14.19 Expenses. The Company shall pay and hold Calavo and its Affiliates harmless against liability for the payment of the reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses of Calavo and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel or other advisors) in the performance of their duties, and in connection with (a) start-up and organizational costs in connection
with the formation of the Company and the commencement of its business and operations, (b) the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement executed in connection herewith, and the evaluation and
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (c) any amendments or waivers (whether or not the same become effective) under or in respect of this Agreement or such other agreements, (d) the enforcement of the rights granted under
this Agreement or such other agreements or Calavo’s direct or indirect investment in the Company, (e) any filing with any governmental agency with respect to such Person’s investment in the Company or in any other filing with any
governmental agency with respect to the Company that mentions such Person, (f) any fees and expenses of any lenders to the Company, and (g) any transaction, claim, event, or other matter relating to the Company or the transactions
contemplated hereby as to which such Person seeks advice of counsel. Nothing in this Agreement shall require reimbursement of expenses of any Member (other than Calavo or its Affiliates) in connection with the matters referred to in clauses
(a)–(g) of this Section 14.19. 
 14.20 Effective Date. This Agreement shall be in full force and effect as to
