Article I

Purchase and Sale OF EQUITY INTERESTS; BASE CONSIDERATION; ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION; Closing; Closing Deliveries

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Equity Interests; Base Consideration; Additional Consideration.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from Seller, the Equity Interests, free and clear of any Liens (other than any restrictions on transfer solely arising under or relating to applicable securities Laws) for (i) an amount in cash equal to the Base Consideration, payable at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(i), plus (ii) an amount in cash equal to the Additional Consideration (if any), payable in accordance with Section 1.1(b) (together with the Base Consideration, the “Purchase Price”).

(b) Additional Consideration Mechanics.

(i) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, (A) if the New Brewery Completion occurs more than thirty days prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer or the Company shall or shall cause to be paid to Seller an amount in cash equal to the Additional Consideration on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(i), (B) if the New Brewery Completion occurs on or after thirty days prior to the Closing Date, but prior to the Closing Date, Buyer or the Company shall or shall cause to be paid to Seller an amount in cash equal to the Additional Consideration within twenty days after the Closing Date, (C) if the New Brewery Completion occurs between the Closing Date and the New Brewery Completion End Date, Buyer or the Company shall or shall cause to be paid to Seller an amount in cash equal to the Additional Consideration, within twenty days after the date of the New Brewery Completion, and (D) if the New Brewery Completion has not occurred by the New Brewery Completion End Date, then (x) within twenty days after the New Brewery Completion End Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written notice certifying the Actual Production Capacity and Seller’s determination of the amount of the Additional Consideration (if any) that it deems due and payable by Buyer or the Company to Seller, as calculated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and Exhibit G (the “Additional Consideration Notice”), and (y) subject to Section 1.1(b)(ii), Buyer or the Company shall or shall cause to be paid to Seller an amount equal to the Additional Consideration, within twenty days after the date of the Additional Consideration Notice (in each case of clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this Section 1.1(b)(i), such due date for the payment of the Additional Consideration from Buyer to Seller, if any, the “Additional Consideration Payment Due Date”). All payments to be made to Seller pursuant to Section 1.1(b)(i)(B), (C) or (D) shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated in writing by Seller to Buyer no later than two Business Days prior to the date such payment is due.

-2-

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.1(b)(i), if Buyer has any objections to the Additional Consideration Notice or any of the amounts set forth therein, it shall deliver to Seller a written statement (a “Notice of Objection”) setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement (including the specific items in the Additional Consideration Notice that are in dispute and the nature and amount of any disagreement so identified) not later than twenty days after its receipt of the Additional Consideration Notice (such twenty-day period, the “Review Period”). If Buyer fails to deliver a Notice of Objection within the Review Period, the Additional Consideration Notice and the amounts set forth therein shall be deemed to have been accepted by Buyer and shall be deemed final and binding upon Buyer. If Buyer delivers a Notice of Objection to Seller within the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall work in good faith to resolve Buyer’s objections within the thirty day period following the delivery of the Notice of Objection; provided that if Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve Buyer’s objections within such designated time period following the delivery of a Notice of Objection, the resolution of all unresolved items shall be submitted to the Independent Consultant to resolve any remaining disagreements, and each of Seller and Buyer shall pay fifty percent of any expenses or costs owed to such accountant in the resolution of any such unresolved items.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.1(b)(i), Buyer may, upon written notice to Seller within ten Business Days of the date of Additional Consideration Payment Due Date, defer payment of all or any portion of the Deferrable Consideration until the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that any such portion of the Deferrable Consideration that is so deferred by Buyer (the “Deferred Consideration”) shall accrue daily interest at the rate set forth in Section 1.1(b)(iii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter from the date of the New Brewery Completion until such time as the Deferred Consideration, plus any such interest earned by Seller, is paid in full to Seller; provided that in no event may Buyer defer payment of the Deferred Consideration past the date that is one year following the Closing Date.

(iv) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing in this Section 1.1(b), in the event that a Change of Control Event occurs at any time prior to the New Brewery Completion End Date, the payment of the Additional Consideration shall be accelerated and due in full to Seller in an amount as if the New Brewery Completion had occurred on the date of such Change of Control Event.

(v) The Parties understand and agree that (A) the contingent rights to receive the Additional Consideration shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, are not transferrable, and do not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Buyer, the Company or any Affiliate thereof, (B) Seller shall not have any rights as a security holder of Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company or any Affiliate thereof as a result of Seller’s contingent right to receive the Additional Consideration hereunder, and (C) no interest is payable with respect to the Additional Consideration.

1.2 Time and Place of Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Equity Interests provided for in this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place by means of remote communication on the later of (a) 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on August 3, 2020 or (b) immediately following the ABC Closing, on the Business Day of the ABC Closing or such later date as required by the DOJ, in each case, following the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of the last condition in Article V to be satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of those conditions), or at such other time and place as Buyer and Seller mutually agree in writing (the “Closing Date”).

-3-

1.3 Deliveries at Closing.

(a) By Seller. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing (or as otherwise provided below), Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer:

(i) counterparts of each of the Transaction Documents to which such Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party, duly executed by such Seller or its applicable Affiliates party thereto;

(iii) the certificate contemplated by Section 5.2(c);

(iv) the Instrument of Assignment, duly executed by Seller, and any other instruments of transfer, agreements or amendments required to be delivered under the Organizational Documents of the Company or applicable Law in order to transfer the Equity Interests;

(v) the written resignations of each of the directors, officers or other Persons acting in a similar capacity of the Company (each, a “Resigning Company Person”) as Buyer may request no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.3, in each case, to be effective as of the Closing; and

(vi) the Company Books and Records that are necessary to operate the business of the Company as conducted as of immediately prior to the Closing (it being understood and agreed that the delivery obligations hereunder shall be deemed satisfied if such Company Books and Records remain at the facilities of the Company or under the actual or constructive control of Buyer, any of its Affiliates, the Company or their respective Representatives at the Closing).

(b) By Buyer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller:

(i) an amount equal to the Base Consideration plus, if the New Brewery Completion has occurred more than thirty days prior to the Closing Date, the Additional Consideration, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designed by Seller in writing to Buyer at least two Business Days prior to the Closing;

(ii) the certificate contemplated by Section 5.3(c); and

(iii) counterparts of each of the Transaction Documents to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates is a party, duly executed by Buyer or its applicable Affiliates party thereto.

1.4 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The Purchase Price shall be allocated to the assets of the Company for all Tax purposes in accordance with their respective fair market values pursuant to an allocation schedule to be prepared by Seller after the Closing in accordance with the applicable principles of Section 1060 of the Code (the “Asset Allocation”). Within sixty days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver a copy of its initial determination of the Asset Allocation to Buyer. Buyer shall, within forty-five days after receipt of the initial determination of the Asset Allocation by Seller, notify Seller if it disagrees with such initial determination, and if Buyer does not so notify Seller within such forty-five days, the initial Asset Allocation shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the Parties. If Buyer disagrees with such initial Asset Allocation, Buyer and Seller shall make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute.

-4-

(b) If Buyer and Seller cannot resolve any dispute within thirty days, Buyer and Seller shall promptly select a mutually agreed upon nationally recognized accounting firm to resolve such dispute, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on Buyer and Seller absent fraud or manifest error. If Buyer and Seller do not promptly agree on the selection of an accounting firm, their respective independent public accountants shall immediately select an accounting firm by mutual agreement. The fees of such accounting firm in respect of such dispute shall be shared by Buyer and Seller equally.

(c) Buyer and Seller shall (i) prepare all Tax books, records and filings (including IRS Forms 8594) in a manner consistent with the Asset Allocation (as determined pursuant to this Section 1.4) and (ii) not take any action inconsistent with the Asset Allocation with respect to Tax matters, including in any Tax audit or litigation.

(d) Buyer and Seller shall promptly inform each other of any challenge by any Governmental Authority to any allocation made pursuant to this Section 1.4 and shall consult with and keep each other informed with respect to the status of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.

1.5 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but subject to this Section 1.5, Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller such amounts as Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any state, local or foreign Law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. If Buyer determines that it is required to deduct or withhold any amount from any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement to Seller, Buyer, as applicable, shall provide at least twenty days’ prior notice to Seller of Buyer’s intent to deduct or withhold such amount and the basis for such deduction or withholding, and Buyer shall take commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, as reasonably directed by Seller, in order to eliminate or to reduce any such deduction or withholding, including providing a reasonable opportunity for Seller to provide forms or other evidence that would mitigate, reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding.

(b) Assuming the satisfaction of the applicable obligations contemplated by Section 4.8, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents by Seller and its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of the doubt, prior to the Closing, the Company), as applicable, do not, and the consummation of the Transactions will not, conflict with, or result in any breach or violation of or default (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to any right of termination, loss of rights, adverse modification of provisions, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation under, or result in the creation of a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on any of the assets of the Company under any provision of (i) the Organizational Documents of the Company, (ii) any Required Permit, or (iii) any Contract binding on the Company not otherwise terminable by the other party or parties thereto on 120 days’ or less notice without penalty; provided that any requirement to pay costs and expenses in connection with the termination of any such Contract consisting of reimbursement of expenses incurred and reasonable wind-down costs shall not constitute a penalty or (iv) assuming (solely with respect to the performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transactions) compliance with the matters referred to in Section 2.4(a), any Laws to which the Company is subject, except, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 2.4(b), for any breach, violation, default, termination, loss, adverse modification, cancellation, acceleration or creation that has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

-7-

(b) Seller maintains a system of internal accounting controls with respect to the Company sufficient to provide reasonable assurance: (i) that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) that access to monies and investments is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) regarding prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets.

(c) The accounts receivable of the Company represent bona fide and valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed in the ordinary course of business.

(d) Section 2.5(d) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth the (i) total net beer revenues of the Company (or Seller on behalf of the Company) for “Kona” branded beer products by product mix (i.e., draught vs. package) in the State of Hawaii and (ii) total volume of “Kona” branded beer products sold by product mix by the Company (or Seller on behalf of the Company) in the State of Hawaii, in each case, for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017.

(e) Section 2.5(e) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth certain other financial information of the Company (the “Other Financial Information”). The Other Financial Information was derived from the books of account and financial records of Seller and its Subsidiaries (including the Company), and the Other Financial Information fairly presents in all material respects the information it purports to represent for the periods indicated.

2.6 Absence of Certain Changes.

(a) Since December 31, 2018, (i) except as contemplated by the ABC Merger Agreement, the Company has conducted its business in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice (taking into account any actions taken by the Company in connection with the New Brewery Completion), (ii) there has not been any material damage, destruction or other casualty loss with respect to any material property or asset owned or leased by the Company (including any Leased Real Property), whether or not covered by insurance, and (iii) the Company has not engaged in any of the activities that, if engaged in on or after the date of this Agreement, would have required Buyer’s written approval pursuant to Sections 4.1(b)(iii), (v), (vii), (viii), (x), (xii) and (xvi) (after taking into account clauses (w), (x), (y) and (z) of Section 4.1(b)).

(b) Since December 31, 2018, there has not been any change, effect, occurrence, circumstance, event, fact or development that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

2.7 Liabilities. There are no Liabilities of the Company (whether accrued, contingent or otherwise, whether or not of the type required by GAAP to be reflected in a consolidated balance sheet of the Company or disclosed in the notes thereto, and whether or not required to be disclosed under this Agreement), other than: (a) executory obligations arising from any Contract entered into in the ordinary course of business (none of which results from or was caused by a breach, default or violation of any such Contract); (b) Liabilities incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions; or (c) Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business that would not individually or in the aggregate, result in a material adverse effect.

-8-

2.8 Litigation.

The Company is not a party to or otherwise subject to any outstanding material Order.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.4(a), Buyer and Seller shall prepare and transmit to DOJ as promptly as reasonably practicable true and correct non-privileged information in response to requests by the DOJ to Buyer or Seller in connection with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of any of the Transaction Documents, the Transaction, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or Buyer’s plans for the Company following the Closing, and any non-privileged documentation and communications related thereto requested by the DOJ.

(c) Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange and sharing of information, Buyer and Seller shall have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each shall consult with the other on and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, all of the information relating to Buyer or Seller or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Affiliates, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Third Party, including any Governmental Authority, in connection with the Transactions, including any information provided pursuant to Section 4.4(b). In exercising the foregoing rights, Seller and Buyer shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Buyer and Seller may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material or information or Trade Secrets provided to the other under this Section 4.4 as for “Outside Counsel Only” and any such information shall be disclosed only as provided in the second, third and fourth sentences of Section 4.4(g).

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, any and all actions reasonably necessary to make any filings or obtain any other consents, clearances or approvals, in each case, that Seller or its Affiliates reasonably deem are required under or in connection with any Antitrust Law to consummate the Transactions prior to the Outside Date.

(e) Buyer shall not take, and shall cause its Affiliates not to take, any actions or do, and shall cause its Affiliates not to do, any things that would be reasonably likely to delay the Closing or the ABC Closing or to cause any Governmental Authority to object to the Transactions, any Transaction Documents or the ABC Merger Agreement, including acquiring or agreeing to acquire any assets or businesses engaged in whole or in part in a line of business in the State of Hawaii similar to the business of the Company.

(f) If staff of the DOJ notifies Seller or ABC that this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents is not an acceptable manner of divesting the Company and DOJ regulatory clearance of the ABC Merger is being withheld pending modification of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, as applicable, subject to Section 4.4(i), Seller and Buyer shall reasonably seek to modify this Agreement or any Transaction Document as may be necessary to satisfy the DOJ; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to take any such actions that would be contradictory to or in conflict with the terms contemplated in Section 6.6 of the ABC Merger Agreement (except in the event that, pursuant to and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.6(e) of the ABC Merger Agreement, ABC, in its sole discretion, compels Seller to take such actions, in which case Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller in accordance with the terms of Section 4.4(a)).

(g) Subject to applicable Laws, Seller and Buyer shall, upon request by the other, furnish Seller, ABC or Buyer, as applicable, with all information concerning itself, its Affiliates, directors, officers or equityholders, as applicable, and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made (or to be made) by or on behalf of Buyer, Seller, ABC or any of their respective Affiliates to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions or any Transaction Document, including with respect to any Antitrust Law (it being understood that, upon Seller’s request, Buyer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 4.4(g) shall include an obligation to provide all such information to any Governmental Authority in connection with the ABC Merger). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the performance of each Party’s respective obligations, Seller and Buyer may, as each determines is reasonably necessary, designate competitively sensitive material provided to the other pursuant to this Section 4.4(g) as “Outside Counsel Only”. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to in-house counsel, directors, officers or employees of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Seller or Buyer, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.4(g), materials provided to the other Parties, ABC or their counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company or information otherwise not germane to regulatory review.

(h) Subject to applicable Laws and the instructions of any Governmental Authority, Seller and Buyer shall keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to consents, clearances, approvals or authorizations of any Governmental Authority of the Transactions. Buyer shall not permit any of its Affiliates, officers or any other Representatives to participate in any meeting (other than purely administrative phone calls) with any Governmental Authority in respect of any consents, clearances, approvals, authorizations, filings, investigation or other inquiry with respect to the Transactions unless (i) Buyer consults with Seller or ABC in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives ABC the opportunity to attend and participate thereat or (ii) to the extent such meeting involves, and solely to the extent such meeting involves, at Buyer’s outside counsel’s reasonable determination, competitively sensitive matters of Buyer.

-30-

(ii) nothing in this Agreement shall require (A) Buyer or its Affiliates to take any action or agree to take any action with respect to its or their business or operations unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing or otherwise required under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (and subject to the other limitations in this Section 4.4), (B) Seller or its Affiliates to take any action or agree to take any action with respect to the business or operations of the Company unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing, or (C) Seller or its Affiliates to take or agree to take any action that is not contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement with respect to Third Party Consents shall be governed by Section 4.2 and Commingled Contracts shall be governed by Section 4.6) (and not this Section 4.4); and

(iv) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 4.4, all costs incurred in connection with obtaining any consents or approvals or taking any other action required by this Section 4.4 (including making any filing or application) shall be (A) incurred by Buyer shall be borne by Buyer and (B) incurred by Seller or, prior to the Closing, the Company shall be borne by Seller; provided, however, that Seller shall reimburse to Buyer reasonable and documented filing fees under Antitrust Laws incurred by Buyer.

4.5 New Brewery Completion.

(a) Subject to Buyer’s, and following the Closing, the Company’s, cooperation in accordance with Section 4.5(b), from and following the Execution Date, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with its agreements and obligations set forth in Exhibit G pursuant to the timing and steps set forth in Exhibit G (taking into account operational emergencies, force majeure events and supply shortages); provided that Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed with respect to the steps in the implementation and overall progress of the New Brewery Completion. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with the New Brewery Completion.

4.6 Commingled Contracts. Buyer acknowledges that Seller and its Affiliates are, as of the Execution Date, parties to certain Contracts that relate to both the business of the Company and other businesses of Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company) that are material to the continuing operation of the business of the Company (such Contracts, the “Commingled Contracts”), and a true and correct list of each Commingled Contract as of the Execution Date is set forth in Section 4.6 of the Seller Disclosure Letter. Prior to the Closing and for a period of twelve months after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assist Buyer, as Buyer reasonably requests, and use its commercially reasonable efforts (all at Seller and its Affiliates’ expense) to either (a) establish replacement contracts, contract rights, bids, purchase orders or other agreements with respect to the business of the Company between the Company and any Third Party which is a counterparty to a Commingled Contract (in each case as such terms are approved by Buyer in writing in advance), (b) assign the rights and obligations under such Commingled Contract exclusively related to the business of the Company to Buyer (or such person as Buyer nominates) and (c) establish reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide Buyer (or such person as Buyer nominates) the rights and obligations under such Commingled Contract related to the business of the Company; provided, however, that Seller makes no representation or warranty that any Third Party will agree to enter into any such Contract, contract right, bid, purchase order or other agreement with Buyer on the existing terms of the applicable Commingled Contract or at all; provided, further, that to the extent compliance with this Section 4.6 would conflict with the obligations of the parties to the Transition Services Agreement (for instance, by causing a Commingled Contract to be separated in such a way that Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement can no longer be provided on the terms of the Transition Services Agreement), Buyer and Seller shall discuss and agree in good faith with respect to the appropriate treatment of the relevant Commingled Contract(s) in respect of such conflict. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.6 to the contrary, none of Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to expend money (excluding the cost of Seller’s and its Affiliates’ and their respective employees’ time and efforts), commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Third Party to fulfill its obligation under this Section 4.6.

4.8 Transfer Requirement. Each of Seller and Buyer shall take or cause to be taken all actions necessary or appropriate to satisfy or waive the Transfer Requirements to be satisfied or waived at or prior to the Closing or following the Closing, respectively, and facilitate such other actions reasonably necessary or desirable and incident thereto, including Seller using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain tax clearance and bulk sales certificates under applicable Law in Hawaii prior to the Closing, or, if Seller is unable to obtain such tax clearance and bulk sales certificates prior to the Closing, as soon as practicable following the Closing; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Company or Buyer becomes liable for any Taxes, other than any Transfer Taxes for which Buyer is liable under Section 8.7 (Transfer Taxes), pursuant to HRS §237-43(c), by virtue of Seller failing to either (a) provide the bulk sales certificate prior to the Closing, or (b) paying any unpaid taxes, penalties and interest within twenty days after the Closing, the Parties agree the amount of such Taxes will be included within the definition of “Indemnified Taxes”, except if Seller’s failure under clause (a) or (b) is caused by or a result of Buyer not satisfying its own obligations under this Section 4.8.

4.9 Company Cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall have the right, subject to compliance with all applicable Laws, to withdraw all or a portion of the cash of the Company prior to the Closing, including by causing the Company to make any such payment in the form of a dividend, interim dividend or other distribution to Seller or any of its Affiliates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Buyer and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of Seller or the Company; and (B) in no event will the foregoing permit any sampling or analysis of soil, groundwater, building materials or other environmental media of the sort generally referred to as a Phase II environmental investigation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.10(b), Buyer and the Company may withhold access, documents or information that in the reasonable judgment of Buyer or the Company would result in the disclosure of any competitively sensitive information, Trade Secrets of Third Parties or violate any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality; provided that if Buyer determines in good faith that any information requested by Seller shall not be shared by Buyer or the Company with Seller as a result of the foregoing, the Parties shall discuss in good faith alternative means of Buyer or the Company providing such requested information to Seller in another manner or form (such as redacted versions of such information, execution of a waiver or consent or delivery of such information to Seller’s outside counsel only).

(iv) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (A) the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protections, confidentiality protections and any other similar privileges or protections with respect to any Seller Protected Information belongs to and shall be controlled by Seller (or one or more of its Affiliates, as the case may be) and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (B) the delivery of or disclosure of any Seller Protected Information to Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates pursuant to Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.10(b)(ii) or otherwise shall be deemed unintentional and shall not constitute a waiver by Seller or its Affiliates of any of their attorney-client privileges, attorney work-product protections, confidentiality protections or other similar privileges or protections in connection with such Seller Protected Information, unless Seller or one or more of its Affiliates (other than the Company) expressly waives in writing all privileges or protections in connection therewith and (C) in the event that any Seller Protected Information is delivered or disclosed to Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates by Seller pursuant to Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.10(b)(ii) or otherwise, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, (u) promptly notify Seller of such discovery upon Buyer’s, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates’ discovery of any such delivery or disclosure, (v) at Seller’s request, return to Seller or destroy such Seller Protected Information, (w) take any and all actions reasonably requested by Seller, at the sole cost and expense of Seller, in order to permit Seller (or one or more of its Affiliates, as the case may be) to preserve and assert any such protection or privilege in connection therewith, (x) in connection with each of the foregoing clauses (u) through (w) of this Section 4.10(b)(iv), use its commercially reasonable efforts to and cause its Affiliates to safeguard and protect such Seller Protected Information from further disclosure to any Third Party, (y) not assert and cause its Affiliates not to assert that any such protection or privilege has been waived with respect to Seller Protected Information that has come into or is in the possession of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates and (z) to the extent Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates has or maintains any control of such protection or privilege of any Seller Protected Information, except as may be required by applicable Law, not waive or attempt to waive, and cause its Affiliates to not waive or attempt to waive, such protection or privilege without the prior written consent of Seller or one or more of its Affiliates (as the case may be).

4.12 Employee Benefits.

(a) Buyer agrees that each Business Employee who continues to be employed with the Company (each such employee, a “Continuing Employee”) shall, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, be provided with a base salary or base wage no less than the base salary or base wage provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing. Additionally, Buyer agrees that the Continuing Employees shall, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, be provided with (i) annual cash bonus opportunities and long-term incentive compensation opportunities, to the extent applicable, that are, in the aggregate, commensurate with the aggregate value of such opportunities as in effect for such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing (provided that any such annual cash bonus or long-term incentive compensation opportunities may be adjusted reasonably and in good faith by Buyer to reflect the effect of COVID-19 on the Company’s operating performance following the Closing) and (ii) all other compensation and benefits that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable in value to the other compensation and benefits provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing. Additionally, Buyer agrees that each Continuing Employee who is involuntarily terminated within twelve months following the Closing Date will be provided with severance payments and benefits no less favorable than those that would have been provided to such Continuing Employee under the applicable severance policy or individual employment, severance or separation agreement or other arrangement in effect immediately prior to the Closing, in each case as listed on Section 2.10(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (each, a “Company Severance Plan”), under circumstances that would have given the Continuing Employee a right to severance payments and benefits under such Company Severance Plan.

-35-

(b) Buyer shall (i) cause any pre-existing conditions (for any condition for which the Continuing Employee would have been entitled to coverage under the corresponding Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to Closing) or other limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any group health plans of Buyer and its Affiliates to be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent permitted by insurance arrangements with third parties, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the amount of eligible expenses incurred by each Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents that were credited to deductible and maximum out-of-pocket co-insurance requirements under the Benefit Plans to be credited for purposes of satisfying the deductible and maximum out-of-pocket co-insurance requirements under the corresponding benefit plans of Buyer and its Affiliates for the plan year in which the Closing occurs and (iii) any of its (or its Affiliates’) employee benefit plans (including disability pay continuation plans) in which the Continuing Employees are entitled to participate to take into account for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and, under any vacation, sick, and personal paid time off plan or policy, benefit accrual (except that no such service shall be required to be credited for purposes of determining credited service or eligibility under any severance plan or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits), service by such Continuing Employees to the Company or any of its Affiliates or predecessors as if such service were with Buyer, to the same extent such service was credited under a comparable Benefit Plan.

(c) Buyer shall pay, at the time annual bonuses have historically been paid by the Company, in accordance with the terms of each applicable Company annual bonus plan (collectively, the “Company Bonus Plans”) as of the Closing Date, each Continuing Employee then participating in any Company Bonus Plans, a bonus equal to the Continuing Employee’s full-year bonus entitlement under all such Company Bonus Plans for the year in which the Closing occurs (provided that any such annual bonus may be adjusted reasonably and in good faith by Buyer to reflect the effect of COVID-19 on the Company’s operating performance following the Closing).

(d) The Parties shall cooperate in developing employee messaging relating to the Transactions. Prior to making any broad-based written or oral communications to Business Employees pertaining to the Transactions, including compensation or benefits matters, and that are not materially consistent with the previously agreed employee messaging, each Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of any such broad-based communications and each Party shall cooperate with respect to any other employee communications. The applicable Party shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on such communication, and the communicating Party shall consider any such comments in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.12(d) shall not apply so long as the statements contained in the communication with respect to the Transactions are substantially similar to (i) previous press releases, public statements or filings made by Buyer or Seller with respect to which such party has complied with the provisions of the preceding sentence or (ii) communications previously approved by the other Party.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement will (i) be treated as an amendment of any particular Benefit Plan, (ii) prevent Buyer or any of its Affiliates from amending or terminating any of their benefit plans in accordance with their terms, (iii) obligate Buyer or any of its Affiliates to retain the employment of any particular employee or (iv) create any third party beneficiary rights for the benefit of any employee of the Company, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to this Section 4.12 or any compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Continuing Employee by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or under any benefit plan that Buyer or any of its Affiliates may maintain.

(c) Each Party agrees that, from the Closing Date until the date that is three years from the Closing Date, neither it nor any of its Affiliates or its or their senior executives shall, or shall encourage any other Person to, make any public disparaging or derogatory statement about the other Party; provided, however, that statements made in connection with any Action made in good faith shall not be a breach of this provision.

(d) Seller agrees that for the period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring on the three-year anniversary thereof, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will (i) acquire any ownership interest in, or right to obtain any ownership interest in, any craft brewery principally operating in, founded in or which consumers would reasonably identify with the State of Hawaii, but excluding with respect to (A) existing businesses and interests (financial or otherwise) of Seller and/or its Affiliates as of the Closing Date, and (B) businesses and interest (financial or otherwise) that Seller or its Affiliates may directly or indirectly acquire in connection with a separate acquisition transaction on or after the Closing Date, but only if the craft brew operations of such business within the State of Hawaii, in the aggregate, represent no more than ten percent of the total revenues of all business operations acquired in such separate acquisition transaction (determined as of the date a definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition is entered into), or (ii) create a new alcoholic or non-alcoholic beer brand that consumers would reasonably view as originating from the State of Hawaii.

4.21 Intercompany Arrangements.

(a) Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take such action and make such payments as necessary so that, prior to or concurrently with the Closing and without any liability or other obligation of the Company following the Closing, the Company, on the one hand, and Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company), on the other hand, shall settle, discharge, offset, pay, repay in full, capitalize, terminate, commute or extinguish all Intercompany Balances (collectively, the “Intercompany Balances Payoff”).

(b) Except as otherwise contemplated in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to (i) take such action as necessary to terminate, prior to or concurrently with the Closing and without any liability or other obligation of the Company, all Intercompany Contracts and any other arrangements between the Company, on the one hand, and Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company), on the other hand, and (ii) on or after the Closing, neither the Company nor Seller or any of its Affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, other than the Company) shall have any rights or obligations arising thereunder.

4.22 Release.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, each Party, on its own behalf and on behalf of its former, present and future Affiliates and its and their respective successors, assigns and Representatives (each, a “Releasing Party”), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases, remises and forever discharges the other Party (and, additionally, with respect to Buyer, the Company), and each of their respective Representatives, Affiliates, successors and assigns, or any former, current or future Representatives or Affiliates of any of the foregoing (whether in such Person’s capacity as a member, equity holder, director, officer, employee or otherwise) from any and all claims, demands and causes of action, whether known or unknown, liquidated or contingent, relating to, arising out of or in any way connected with the dealings of the Company from the beginning of time through the Closing (the “Released Claims”); provided, however, that such release shall not operate to release any such Person (i) from any of the terms, conditions, or other provisions or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 4.23 or Article VII) or the Transaction Documents, or (ii) for rights, claims, liabilities, losses and other obligations arising under, related to or connected with any criminal acts of any Releasing Parties.

(b) Each Party acknowledges that the Laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Each Party acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a Party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, each Party agrees that, effective as of the Closing, each Party shall be deemed to waive any such provision. Each Party further agrees that it shall not, nor permit any of the Releasing Parties to, (i) institute an Action based upon, arising out of, or relating to any of the Released Claims, (ii) participate, assist or cooperate in any such Action or (iii) encourage, assist and/or solicit any Third Party to institute any such Action.

(a) With the exception of Tax Returns for Transfer Taxes, which are addressed solely by Section 8.7, Seller shall, at its own cost and expense, prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns for the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods that are due on or before the Closing Date.

-41-

(b) With the exception of Tax Returns for Transfer Taxes, which are addressed solely by Section 8.7, Buyer shall, at its cost and expense, prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns that have not been filed as of the Closing Date, that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and that are due (taking into account extensions) after the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistent with the past practice of the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. At least thirty days prior to the due date for each such Tax Return prepared by Buyer, Buyer shall submit such Tax Return to Seller for Seller’s review. If Seller objects, in good faith, to any item on any such Tax Return, Seller shall, within fifteen days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If such a written notice of objection is delivered to Buyer, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such items. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such agreement within ten days after receipt by Buyer of such notice, then the disputed items shall be resolved by a mutually selected independent public accountant (the “Independent Accountant”), and any determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the Parties absent manifest error or fraud (and in the event of such manifest error the determination shall be referred back to such Independent Accountant to correct the same). The Independent Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within ten days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require or as promptly as practicable thereafter. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Buyer and then amended to reflect the Independent Accountant’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.

(c) If (i) a Governmental Authority asserts any audits or other Action with respect to Taxes against the Company and (ii) Seller is reasonably expected to be responsible for any portion of the related Taxes (any such audit or other Action, a “Tax Claim”), then the Party first receiving notice (whether directly, or indirectly through an Affiliate of such Party) of such Tax Claim shall promptly provide to the other Party a written notice specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Claim and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Governmental Authority in respect of such Tax Claim; provided, however, that the failure of such Party to give such prompt and detailed notice shall not relieve the other Party of any of its obligations under this Section 4.24(c), except if and only to the extent that the other Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. If, within ten days after Seller receives notice of a Tax Claim (whether from a Governmental Authority or pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.24(c)), Seller provides to Buyer a written notice in which Seller elects to contest, and to control the defense or prosecution of, such Tax Claim, then, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.24(c), Seller shall have the right to defend or prosecute and the right to control, at Seller’s cost and expense, such Tax Claim by all appropriate proceedings. For any such Tax Claim the defense or prosecution of which Seller elects to control (a “Seller Controlled Proceeding”), (A) Seller shall defend or prosecute the Tax Claim diligently and in good faith, (B) Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, enter into any compromise or settlement of such Tax Claim that is reasonably expected to result in any material Tax for which Buyer or the Company would be responsible or otherwise materially adversely impact Buyer or the Company with respect to a taxable period that ends after the Closing Date, (C) Seller shall inform Buyer of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Claim (including providing to Buyer copies of relevant portions of all written materials relating to such Tax Claim), (D) the Parties shall cooperate with each other and each Party’s Representatives in good faith in order to contest effectively such Tax Claim and (E) Buyer and its Representatives shall be entitled, at the expense of Buyer, to attend and participate in all conferences, meetings and proceedings relating to such Tax Claim. Buyer shall have the right to control all Tax Claims (other than a Seller Controlled Proceeding); provided that (v) Buyer shall defend or prosecute the Tax Claim diligently and in good faith, (w) Buyer shall inform Seller of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Claim (including providing to Seller copies of relevant portions of all written materials relating to such Tax Claim), in each case, with respect to any issues in such Tax Claim for which Seller is reasonably expected to have a liability or other obligation pursuant to this Agreement, (x) the Parties shall cooperate with each other and each Party’s Representatives in good faith in order to contest effectively such Tax Claim, (y) Seller and its Representatives shall be entitled, at Seller’s cost and expense, to attend and participate in all conferences, meetings and proceedings with respect to any issues in such Tax Claim for which Seller is reasonably expected to have a liability or other obligation pursuant to this Agreement and (z) Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, enter into any compromise or settlement of any issues in such Tax Claim for which Seller is reasonably expected to be responsible.

-42-

(d) Seller shall be entitled to any refunds of or reductions from Taxes (whether in the form of cash received or a credit against Taxes otherwise payable) actually received by the Company or any of its Affiliates in respect of the Pre-Closing Tax Period or in respect of the portion of any Straddle Period that ends on and includes the Closing Date. Buyer shall cause the Company and its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such refunds to which the Company or any of its Affiliates may be entitled, and shall promptly deliver to Seller any such refunds, after deducting any costs or Taxes incurred in connection with obtaining and receiving the refund.

(e) Any payment made pursuant to this Section 4.24 shall, for Tax purposes, be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price, to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

4.25 Transaction Documents. After the Execution Date, but prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith any missing terms of the Transaction Documents, which each shall be substantially in the form set forth on Exhibits C, D, E and F, as the case may be. At the Closing, each of the Parties shall and shall cause each of its Affiliates that will be a party to a Transaction Document to execute and deliver each such Transaction Document it will be a party to and each Party shall fully cooperate in causing any other Person that will be a party to a Transaction Document to execute and deliver each such Transaction Document (it being understood that each Transaction Document, shall be executed and delivered at the Closing in the form of each such Transaction Document attached hereto as an Exhibit with only such ministerial additions, deletions and modifications as necessary to complete any missing terms contemplated by the form to be completed by the parties to such Transaction Document or to correct any scrivener’s error in the form of a Transaction Document).

4.26 Insurance Policies. With respect to any Insurance Policies, for claims of the Company that occur prior to the Closing Date, from and after the Closing, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide, and to cause its Subsidiaries to continue to provide, the Company with access to such Insurance Policies and shall reasonably cooperate with the Company and take commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary or advisable to assist the Company in submitting, and to provide reasonable support with respect to, such pre-Closing claims to which such Insurance Policies are responsive.

4.27 Notification of Certain Matters; No Agreement to Sell. Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of the status of any material discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Buyer) concerning any purchase of the Equity Interests or the business of the Company, or any material portion thereof, through the purchase of equity securities, merger, sale of substantial assets, reinsurance or other similar transaction. Seller shall not enter into any such agreement with any Person (other than Buyer) prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1.

4.28 Sublease Costs. Upon the earlier of (i) the Closing and (ii) the date upon which such amounts are required to be deposited pursuant to Section 2 of the Brewery Sublease Amendment, Seller shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, the amounts required to be so deposited pursuant to Section 2 of the Brewery Sublease Amendment, as set forth therein.

-43-

4.29 Permits. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Company to, use its reasonable best efforts to take the pre-Closing actions necessary in order to file any applications or submit any notices that may be filed or submitted by Seller or the Company prior to the Closing with the relevant Governmental Entities with respect to any Required Permits as required by applicable Law (including, for avoidance of doubt, with respect to any food establishment Permits). Without limiting the foregoing, Seller and Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with each other, provide to the other any reasonably necessary information about itself or its Affiliates (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) and use (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use), as applicable and taking account the first sentence of this Section 4.29, their respective reasonable best efforts to file any applications or submit any notices with the relevant Governmental Entities with respect to any Required Permits as required by applicable Law (including, for avoidance of doubt, with the food establishment Permits). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.29 (Permits) shall not apply with respect to any Permits relating to the New Brewery, which are addressed in Section 4.5 (New Brewery Completion) and Exhibit G.

4.30 Further Assurances. The Parties shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and other instruments and shall take, or shall cause to be taken, such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and give effect to the Transactions.

The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with and provide to the Indemnifying Party such information under the Indemnified Party’s control as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request for the purposes of determining the validity of the allegations made in the Claim Notice and shall keep the Indemnifying Party fully and promptly informed of factual and procedural developments (including additional information which may come under the Indemnified Party’s control) in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable Law) to third parties and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work product privileges.

(b) Except with respect to Tax Claims, which are covered solely under Section 4.24, in the event the Claim Notice results from any Action asserted or threatened against the Indemnified Party by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.4(a):

(i) The Indemnified Party shall provide the Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party not later than the twentieth Business Day following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of the Third Party Claim, and in any event not later than the tenth Business Day preceding the date by which an appearance is required to be made before a court, arbitrator or other tribunal or an answer or similar pleading is required to be filed in a litigation or other proceeding; provided that if either such Business Day occurs on or prior to the Closing Date, the Claim Notice shall be timely provided if it is provided not later than the Business Day following the Closing Date.

(ii) During the period ending on the earlier of the thirtieth calendar day following the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the Claim Notice and the fifth calendar day preceding the date on which an appearance is required to be made before a court, arbitrator or other tribunal or an answer or similar pleading is required to be filed in a litigation or other proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to assume and control the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party.

-51-

(A) In the event that the Indemnifying Party duly and timely makes such election, the Indemnifying Party shall defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power (as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and their respective Affiliates) to direct and control such defense and the settlement, arbitration, litigation and appellate strategy relating to the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled but not obligated to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing for such purpose; provided that the fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnified Party and shall not be recoverable from such Indemnifying Party under this Section 7.4. If the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle such claims; provided that, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle, compromise or cease to defend such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or cessation would result in: (u) the settlement amount exceeding the Cap Amount, Business Representation Cap Amount or the Aggregate Cap, as applicable; (v) any monetary Liability of the Indemnified Party that will not be promptly paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party; (w) the imposition of a consent Order that would materially restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in any material respect; (x) a finding or admission of a material violation of a material Law by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; (y) a finding or admission that would have a material and adverse effect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; or (z) any material non-monetary condition or obligation being imposed on any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.

(B) If the Indemnifying Party does not duly and timely make such election, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled but not obligated (subject to Section 7.7 ( Minimizing and Mitigating Losses)) to notify the Indemnifying Party of its election to assume and control such defense from the Indemnifying Party, whereupon the Indemnified Party and not the Indemnifying Party shall have the powers described in the first sentence of Section 7.4(b)(ii)(A); provided that the Indemnified Party’s right to be indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed in respect of the Third Party Claim shall not otherwise be affected by such election; provided, further, that the Indemnified Party may not settle any such matter without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if the Indemnified Party is seeking or will seek indemnification hereunder with respect to such matter. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall have no Liability with respect to a Third Party Claim settled without its prior written consent.

(iii) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate investigation and defense of all Third Party Claims, including by providing reasonable access to each other’s relevant business records, documents and employees, for purposes of investigation, document production, testimony and otherwise. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall keep each other reasonably and promptly informed with respect to the status of all Third Party Claims and shall deliver to each other copies of all material written notices and documents (including court papers) received by the other that relate to any Third Party Claims. The Person controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim shall in good faith allow the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, as the case may be, to make comments to the materials filed or submitted in such defense, and shall consider such comments in good faith.

-52-

(iv) All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees, costs and expenses actually incurred or suffered by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending, and cooperating in the investigation and defense of, the Third Party Claim (“Third Party Claim Expenses”) shall be paid as follows:

(A) Any Third Party Claim Expenses actually incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party (x) prior to or in the absence of the due and timely making of the election described in Section 7.4(b)(ii)(A), (y) under the circumstances described in Section 7.4(b)(ii)(B) or (z) in compliance with Section 7.4(b)(iii), shall constitute Losses for which the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be reimbursed if the Indemnified Party is determined pursuant to a Final Determination to be entitled to be indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed pursuant to this Article VII in respect of the Third Party Claim.

(B) Third Party Claim Expenses actually incurred or suffered by the Indemnifying Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnified Party if the Indemnified Party is determined pursuant to a Final Determination not to be entitled to be indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed pursuant to this Article VII in respect of the Third Party Claim.

(C) Third Party Claim Expenses not addressed by Sections 7.4(b)(iv)(A) or (B) shall be paid by the Person by which they were incurred.

7.5 Losses and Recoveries.

(a) Consequential Damages. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified, held harmless or reimbursed pursuant to this Article VII in respect of, and Losses shall not include, any (i) consequential, indirect or speculative damages or (ii) punitive or special damages, except (x) in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such damages are awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction to a Third Party pursuant to a Third Party Claim as determined by a Final Determination in connection therewith, or (y) in the case of consequential damages, if, pursuant to a Final Determination, the Indemnified Party shall have established (A) that such damages were reasonably foreseeable to the Indemnifying Party as of the Execution Date and (B) the amount of such damages with reasonable certainty (taking into account Section 3.9(b), Section 3.9(c) and Section 8.5).

(b) Insurance. In calculating the amount of any Loss, the proceeds actually received (for the avoidance of doubt, net of any costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party with respect to such recovery, and net of any Taxes incurred on receipt of any such proceeds) by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, in each case relating to the matters described in the Claim Notice, shall be deducted, except to the extent that the adjustment itself would excuse, exclude or limit the coverage of all or part of such Loss. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any such insurance or other proceeds from third parties to the same extent such Indemnified Party would recover such proceeds if such Losses were not subject to indemnification hereunder. In the event that, after having complied with the preceding sentence, an Indemnified Party still has any rights against a Third Party with respect to any occurrence, claim or Loss that results in a payment by an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to such rights to the extent of such payment; provided that until the Indemnified Party recovers full payment of the Loss associated with such payment, any and all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such Third Party on account of said indemnity payment are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Indemnified Party’s rights against such Third Party. Each Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation and subordination rights detailed herein, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims.

-53-

(c) Taxes. In calculating the amount of any Loss, there shall be deducted an amount equal to any net Tax benefit the Person claiming such Loss for Tax purposes actually realized in the year the relevant Loss was incurred.

(d) Reimbursement. If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a Third Party in respect of a Loss after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, plus the amount received from the Third Party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of the Loss plus any actual reasonable and documented costs or expenses incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such amount from the Third Party in respect of such Loss.

(e) Contingent Liabilities. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under this Article VII in respect of any Loss which is contingent unless and until such contingent Loss becomes an actual Liability and is due and payable; provided that this Section 7.5(e) shall not limit the ability of any Indemnified Party to submit a Claim Notice.

(f) No Double Recovery. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover more than once in respect of the same Loss (notwithstanding that such Loss may result from more than one of the occurrences specified in Sections 7.2 or 7.3 or under any exhibit hereto or of the Transaction Documents, as the case may be); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no expense for which Seller has borne the cost pursuant to Paragraph G of Exhibit G shall be considered in determining the amount of any Loss.

(g) Set-Off Right. Buyer shall have the right to set off any Losses to which Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled under this Article VII against the Deferrable Consideration, whether or not the Deferrable Consideration is actually due and payable to Seller pursuant to Section 1.1(b)(i) at the time of such set-off; provided that if the amount of the Deferrable Consideration is less than the amount of any Losses that Buyer set off against the Deferrable Consideration, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer or the Buyer Indemnified Parties the amount of such Losses pursuant to Section 7.6(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have no right to set-off, offset or otherwise recoup in good faith any Losses to which Buyer, or any other Buyer Indemnified Party, is entitled under this Article VII against any other amounts owed by Buyer to Seller, whether under this Agreement, including the Base Consideration or any portion of the Additional Consideration other than the Deferrable Consideration, or any other Transaction Document, and any such actions taken by Buyer, or by one of its Affiliates on behalf of Buyer, shall constitute a breach of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement and shall be construed as a limitation of Buyer’s other remedies, including the right to recover any deficiency or pursue other legal or equitable relief.

(h) New Brewery Completion Metrics. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, other than as set forth in Section 7.8(a), any claims for Losses by any Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of, relating to or in connection with the New Brewery Completion Metrics not being achieved on or prior to the New Brewery Completion End Date shall be exclusively governed by Paragraph C of Exhibit G.

7.6 Payments.

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of any Loss for which it is liable hereunder, in immediately available funds, to an account specified by the Indemnified Party no later than (i) with respect to Third Party Claims, five Business Days following any Final Determination of the claims set forth in the related Claim Notice, and (ii) with respect to direct claims, thirty days following the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the related Claim Notice (the “Indemnity Payment Date”); provided that if Seller objects to the substance or amount of any claim set forth in a Claim Notice and a Final Determination is made in favor of Buyer or a Buyer Indemnified Party, then upon such Final Determination, Seller shall pay to Buyer or such Buyer Indemnified Party the amount of any Loss for which it is liable hereunder in respect of such claims set forth in the related Claim Notice, as determined by such Final Determination, together with interest on the amount of the Loss at the rate of five percent per annum from the Indemnity Payment Date through the actual date of payment; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, neither Party shall have any liability to the other Party for attorneys’ fees and expenses relating to any dispute concerning the Claim Notice, regardless of the resolution of such dispute.

-54-

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article VII, in the event Seller shall have satisfied its payment obligations under Section 7.6(a) with respect to a Claim Notice prior to the final determination of the Additional Consideration pursuant to Section 1.1(b), and thereafter a final determination of the Additional Consideration is made and pursuant to such final determination the Additional Consideration equals an amount greater than zero, if the amount payable to such Buyer Indemnified Party by Seller pursuant to Section 7.6(a) with respect to such Claim Notice would have been an amount greater than the amount actually paid if such final determination of the Additional Consideration would have been made prior to Seller’s satisfaction of such obligations under Section 7.6(a) (the difference between (i) the amount actually so previously paid and (ii) such greater amount, the “Make Up Payment”), within ten Business Days of such final determination of the Additional Consideration, Seller shall pay to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Make Up Payment.

(c) All payments made by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes to the maximum extent allowable pursuant to applicable Law.

7.7 Minimizing and Mitigating Losses. Each Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable actions to minimize and mitigate any indemnifiable Loss (including by taking any reasonable actions requested by the Indemnifying Party, but such Indemnified Party will not have a duty to incur any material costs in connection with the foregoing, and any out-of-pocket costs incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with such mitigation shall constitute Losses that may be recovered by such Indemnified Party), and if the Indemnified Party fails to do so, the Indemnifying Party shall have no Liability for any portion of such Loss that reasonably could have been avoided had the Indemnified Party so complied.

7.8 Exclusive Remedies and No Rights Against Nonparties.

(a) Following the Closing, no Party shall assert against any other Party any claim, cause of action, right or remedy, or any Action, relating to this Agreement, the Transactions or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, other than (i) claims pursuant to this Article VII, (ii) claims that a Party committed actual (but not constructive) fraud under Delaware Law, (iii) claims that a Party committed any Intentional Breach of any express representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement occurring prior to the Closing, (iv) claims pursuant to Section 8.3(b) with respect to covenants to be performed at or following the Closing, or (v) claims pursuant to the terms of any Transaction Document. Following the Closing, the claims and remedies specified in clauses (i) through (v) of the previous sentence shall constitute the Parties’ sole and exclusive rights and remedies available to the Indemnified Parties for any and all Losses or other claims relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transactions and any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, and shall supersede all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity (including any right of rescission). Accordingly, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.8(a), effective as of the Closing, each Party hereby irrevocably waives and discharges, and releases each other Party, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, from, all other claims, causes of action and Actions relating thereto.

(b) In addition to Section 7.8(a), this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action, right or remedy that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Transactions, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be made against the Persons that are expressly identified as Parties in their capacities as parties to this Agreement, and no Party shall at any time assert against any Person (other than a Party) which is a director, officer, employee, shareholder, general or limited partner, member, manager, agent or Affiliate or Representative of another Party (each, a “Nonparty”), any claim, cause of action, right or remedy, or any Action, relating to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Transactions or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith. Each Party hereby waives and discharges any such claim, cause of action, right, remedy and Action, and releases (and agrees to execute and deliver any instrument necessary to effectuate the release of) each Nonparty therefrom. The provisions of this Section 7.8(b) are for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by each Nonparty, which is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 7.8(b) and Section 4.30 (Further Assurances) in connection herewith.
