Section 2.02. Assignment of Contracts and Rights; Third Party Consents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention

thereof or a violation of Law or would in any way adversely affect the rights of the Buyer thereunder. Subject to Section 5.05(b), the Sellers and the Buyer will each use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to the Buyer as the Buyer may reasonably request. If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted transfer or assignment thereof would be ineffective or a violation of Law or would adversely affect the rights of the Buyer (as assignee of the applicable Seller) thereto or thereunder so that the Buyer would not in fact receive all such rights, the Sellers and the Buyer will, subject to Section 5.05(b), cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement, such as a subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement, under which the Buyer would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits, and, to the extent first arising after the applicable Closing, assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with such Initial Closing Transferred Asset, Interim Closing Transferred Asset or Final Closing Transferred Asset, as the case may be, or such claim, right or benefit in accordance with this Agreement, or under which the Sellers would, upon the Buyer’s request, enforce for the benefit (and at the expense) of the Buyer any and all of their rights against a third party associated with such Initial Closing Transferred Asset, Interim Closing Transferred Asset or Final Closing Transferred Asset, as the case may be, or such claim, right or benefit, and the Sellers would promptly pay to the Buyer when received all monies received by them under any such Initial Closing Transferred Asset, Interim Closing Transferred Asset or Final Closing Transferred Asset, as the case may be, or such claim, right or benefit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 2.02 will not apply to Shared Contracts, and the parties’ obligations with respect to Shared Contracts will be governed by Section 5.16.

The other party shall return such original books and records to the providing party or such Affiliate as soon as such books and records are no longer needed in connection with the circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence. After such six (6) year or longer period, before the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall dispose of any of such books and records, such party shall give at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of such intention to dispose to the other party, and the other party shall be given an opportunity, at its cost and expense, to remove and retain all or any part of such books and records as the other party may elect. If so requested by a party, the other party shall enter into a customary joint defense agreement with the requesting party with respect to any information to be provided to a party pursuant to this Section 5.03.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.03 shall require the Buyer or the Sellers, as the case may be, to make available any such records in connection with any indemnity claim hereunder made by any Buyer Indemnified Party or TCCC Indemnified Party, as applicable, which claim shall be subject to applicable rules of discovery.

From and after the date hereof, each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, hold and continue to hold in strict confidence and not utilize in its or their respective business all information and documents concerning any other party hereto or any of its Affiliates (“Confidential Information”), except where disclosure may be necessary for such party (1) to enforce its rights under this Agreement or any Companion Agreement, or (2) as may be permitted under this Agreement or any Companion Agreement or as may be expressly permitted under any other written agreement among the parties hereto or their Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not constitute “Confidential Information” for purposes of this Agreement: (a) information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as the result of a disclosure by the receiving party or any Affiliate thereof or their respective agents or employees and (b) information that the receiving party is legally obligated to disclose pursuant to a valid subpoena or a valid request from any Governmental Authority or by the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or national market system, subject to the obligation of the receiving party to give the other party reasonable advance notice of such disclosure (to the extent not prohibited by applicable Laws) and to cooperate with the other party in seeking a protective order or other appropriate means for limiting the scope of the disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) following the Initial Closing, the foregoing restrictions in this Section 5.04 shall not apply to the use by the Buyer of any documents or information included in the Initial Closing Transferred Assets acquired by the Buyer hereunder, (ii) following the Interim Closing, the foregoing restrictions in this Section 5.04 shall not apply to the use by the Buyer of any documents or information included in the Interim Closing Transferred Assets acquired by the Buyer hereunder and (iii) following the Final Closing, the foregoing restrictions in this Section 5.04 shall not apply to the use by the Buyer of any documents or information included in the Final Closing Transferred Assets acquired by the Buyer hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.05 to the contrary, neither the Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action, including responding to and/or defending any court or administrative proceeding, proposing or making any divestiture or other undertaking, or proposing or entering into any consent decree or taking any action which the Buyer reasonably determines could be material to the benefits expected to be derived by the Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or be material to the business of the Buyer and its Subsidiaries or the Business as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted following the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.06. Further Action. Each of the Sellers and the Buyer (a) shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and other papers 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 the Companion Agreements and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Companion Agreements, including (in the case of the Sellers) by reasonably cooperating with the Buyer to assist the Buyer with obtaining any permits, licenses or other governmental authorizations to replace any Material Permits, Environmental Permits or other permits, licenses or other governmental authorizations described in Section 2.01(a)(v) to the extent such permits, licenses or authorizations are not transferable to

If the Buyer gives such written notice to the Sellers, the Sellers shall at their expense cause any such Title Defects arising by, through or under any of the Sellers (but not otherwise) to be released and discharged, or otherwise cured, in full at or prior to the applicable Closing; provided, in the event the Sellers are not able to cause such Title Defects to be released and discharged in full at or prior to the applicable Closing, then the Sellers shall at the Sellers’ election, either (A) provide the Buyer a credit against the applicable Closing Cash Payment in the amount of the applicable Title Defect, if a liquidated sum, (B) cause, at the Sellers’ expense, the Buyer’s title insurance company to “insure over” such Title Defect shown in the title insurance policy (if any) obtained by the Buyer at the applicable Closing for such Real Property, or (C) indemnify the Buyer against Losses arising out of such Title Defect.

Section 5.16. Shared Contracts. Prior to the applicable Closing, each of the Sellers and the Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain from, and to cooperate in obtaining from, and shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, enter into with, each third party to a Shared Contract, either (a) a separate contract or agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to CCR and the Buyer (a “New Contract”) that allocates the rights and obligations of the Sellers and their Affiliates under each such Shared Contract as between the Business (or applicable portion thereof), on the one hand, and the retained business of the Sellers and their Affiliates, on the other hand, and which are otherwise substantially similar in all material respects to such Shared Contract, or (b) a contract or agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to CCR and the Buyer effective as of the applicable Closing (the “Partial Assignments and Releases”) that (i) assigns the rights and obligations under such Shared Contract solely to the extent related to the Business (or applicable portion thereof) and arising after the applicable Closing to the Buyer and (ii) releases the Sellers and their Affiliates from all liabilities or obligations with respect to the Business (or applicable portion thereof) that arise after the applicable Closing. Any New Contracts that relate to the Business (or applicable portion thereof) (the “New Business Contracts”) shall be entered into by the Buyer or its Affiliates effective as of the applicable Closing and shall allocate to the Buyer all rights and obligations of the Sellers or their Affiliates (as applicable) under the applicable Shared Contract being replaced to the extent such rights and obligations relate to the Business (or applicable portion thereof) and arise after the applicable Closing. All purchase commitments under the Shared Contracts shall be allocated under the New Business Contracts or the Partial Assignments and Releases as between the Business (or applicable portion thereof), on the one hand, and the retained business of the Sellers and their Affiliates, on the other hand, in an equitable manner that is mutually and reasonably agreed to by the Buyer and the Sellers. In connection with the entering into of New Business Contracts, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Sellers and their Affiliates are released by the third party with respect to all liabilities and obligations relating to the Business (or applicable portion thereof) and arising after the applicable Closing.

In the event that any third party under a Shared Contract does not agree to enter into a New Business Contract or Partial Assignment and Release consistent with this Section 5.16, the parties shall in good faith seek mutually acceptable alternative arrangements for

purposes of allocating rights and liabilities and obligations under such Shared Contract (provided, that such arrangements shall not result in a breach or violation of such Shared Contract by the Sellers). Such alternative arrangements may include a subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement under which the Buyer would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits under, and, to the extent first arising after the applicable Closing, assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with, such Shared Contract solely to the extent related to the Business (or applicable portion thereof) or under which the Sellers would, upon the Buyer’s request, enforce for the benefit (and at the expense) of the Buyer any and all of the Sellers’ rights against such third party under such Shared Contract solely to the extent related to the Business (or applicable portion thereof), and the Sellers would promptly pay to the Buyer when received all monies received by them under such Shared Contract solely to the extent related to the Business (or applicable portion thereof). The parties also confirm their present intent to continue in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice to uphold their respective commitments and cost sharing arrangements regarding sponsored marketing properties relating to the Business, to the extent those are mutually agreed upon from time to time. The Sellers shall provide a list of all Material Contracts and Shared Contracts in which such currently existing commitments and cost sharing arrangements are documented, and, with respect to Shared Contracts, which are related to the Business, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof but in any event within forty-five (45) days following the date hereof and shall promptly notify the Buyer of any contract or agreement entered into between the date hereof and the applicable Closing Date in accordance with Section 5.01 in which any such arrangements are documented and which, had such contract or agreement been entered into prior to the date hereof, would have been a Material Contract required to be set forth on Section 3.12(a) of the Disclosure Schedule or a Shared Contract required to be set forth on Section 3.12(b) of the Disclosure Schedule.

Section 5.17. Certain Activities; Certain Credits; Certain Payments. The Sellers will complete certain improvements to be made to, and take such other action with respect to, the applicable Transferred Assets, which are described on Section 5.17(a) of the Disclosure Schedule or which are mutually agreed to by the Buyer and the Sellers in writing after the date hereof but prior to the applicable Closing. At each Closing, the Sellers will provide the Buyer with certain credits against the Initial Closing Cash Payment, the Interim Closing Cash Payment or the Final Closing Cash Payment, as the case may be, relating to certain Transferred Assets or the Business as described in Section 5.17(b) of the Disclosure Schedule or as may be mutually agreed to by the Buyer and the Sellers in writing after the date hereof but prior to the applicable Closing. At each Closing, the Buyer will make the payment to the Sellers described on Section 5.17(c) of the Disclosure Schedule.

Section 5.18. Environmental Responsibilities.

(a) The Sellers have ordered, or as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof the Sellers will order, Phase I Environmental Assessments to be performed by Antea Group (“Antea”) for each piece of the Real Property, which Phase I Environmental Assessments will conform to the American Society for Testing and Materials Standard E1527-13. The cost of such Phase I Environmental Assessments shall be paid by the parties in the manner set forth in Section 10.01 of the Disclosure Schedule. The Sellers have ordered, or as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof the Sellers will order, Phase II

Environmental Assessments to be performed by Antea for each piece of the Real Property with respect to which a Phase I Environmental Assessment recommended or recommends that such Phase II Environmental Assessments should be performed. The cost of such Phase II Environmental Assessments shall be paid by the parties in the manner set forth in Section 10.01 of the Disclosure Schedule.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, the Sellers shall at their expense determine whether applicable Environmental Law requires that any REC or the Environmental Activity associated with such REC be reported to a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the matter (an “Agency Notification”). If an Agency Notification of a REC or Environmental Activity is required (i) prior to the applicable Closing related to the relevant Real Property, the Sellers shall make such Agency Notification and promptly provide a copy of such Agency Notification to the Buyer, or (ii) after the applicable Closing related to the relevant Real Property, the Buyer shall make such Agency Notification and promptly provide a copy of such Agency Notification to the Sellers. After such Agency Notification is made, the Sellers shall perform, or cause to be performed, the appropriate Environmental Activity and the Sellers shall obtain the written concurrence of the appropriate Governmental Authority that no further action is necessary in respect of such REC to otherwise achieve the Acceptable Regulatory Standards.

(c) In the event an Agency Notification of a REC is not required by applicable Environmental Law, then the Sellers shall at their expense perform, or cause to be performed, the related Environmental Activity until such time as the Sellers’ environmental consultant delivers a reliance letter to the Buyer which indicates that, in such consultant’s opinion, no further action is necessary to otherwise achieve the Acceptable Regulatory Standards; provided, however, in the event that a Governmental Authority subsequently determines that additional Environmental Activities relating to the REC are required to achieve Acceptable Regulatory Standards, then the Sellers shall at their expense perform, or cause to be performed, such additional Environmental Activities promptly and in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws.

(d) In the event that, as of the applicable Closing, the Sellers have not completed any Environmental Activities specified in this Section 5.18 then the parties shall enter into a mutually acceptable access agreement providing the Sellers (and their representatives) access to the applicable Real Property after the applicable Closing for purposes of completing such Environmental Activities.

Section 9.02. Indemnification by the Sellers.

(a) From and after the applicable Closing, the Sellers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against, and reimburse any Buyer Indemnified Party for, all Losses that such Buyer Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with:

(i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representations or warranties made by the Sellers in this Agreement or in the certificates furnished by the Sellers pursuant to Sections 2.05(a)(iv), 2.05(b)(iv), 2.05(c)(iv), 7.01(c)(i), 7.02(c)(i) and 7.03(c)(i);

(ii) any breach or failure by the Sellers to perform any of their covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement; or

(iii) any Excluded Liability (including the failure of the Sellers to perform or in due course pay and discharge any Excluded Liability).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Sellers shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Buyer Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Buyer Indemnified Party for, any Losses pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ Losses exceeds a dollar amount equal to the Deductible Amount, after which the Sellers shall be obligated for all Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(i) in excess of the Deductible Amount up to a dollar amount equal to the Cap Amount; provided, however, that the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Section 9.02(b)(i) shall not apply to any indemnification claim brought as a result of the inaccuracy or breach of any of the Fundamental Representations; (ii) the cumulative indemnification obligation of the Sellers under Section 9.02(a)(i) shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price; and (iii) the indemnification obligation of the Sellers under Section 9.02(a)(i) with respect to a breach of Section 3.22 (Tax Matters) shall not be subject to the Deductible Amount.

Section 9.03. Indemnification by the Buyer. From and after the applicable Closing, the Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “TCCC Indemnified Parties”) against, and reimburse any TCCC Indemnified Party for, all Losses that such TCCC Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with:

(a) the inaccuracy or breach of any representations or warranties made by the Buyer in this Agreement or in the certificates furnished by the Buyer pursuant to Sections 7.01(b)(i), 7.02(b)(i) and 7.03(b)(i);

(d) any Assumed Liability (including the failure of the Buyer or its Affiliates to perform or in due course pay and discharge any Assumed Liability).

Section 9.04. Notification of Claims.

(a) A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure, it being understood that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 9.01 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of the Third Party Claim notice (the “Third Party Claim Response Period”), the Indemnifying Party shall give notice to the Indemnified Party, in writing, either acknowledging or denying its obligations to indemnify and defend under this Article IX.

(b) If, during the Third Party Claim Response Period, the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it acknowledges its obligations to indemnify and defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if such Indemnifying Party gives notice in writing of its election to do so to the

Indemnified Party, together with the acknowledgement of its obligations to indemnify, within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim could result in criminal liability of, or equitable remedies against, the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party so elects to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense, except as set forth in the following sentence. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense if the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence after consultation with the Indemnified Party. Each party hereto shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, members, officers, agents and employees to, cooperate fully with the other parties hereto in connection with any Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, without the consent of any Indemnified Party, provided that (i) the settlement or judgment involves only monetary payments, (ii) the Indemnifying Party pays or causes to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment promptly following the effectiveness of such settlement or judgment and (iii) the Indemnifying Party obtains, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete release of any Indemnified Party affected by such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume, or is not entitled to assume, the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 9.04(b), the Indemnified Party shall defend such Third Party Claim but shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, that the Indemnified Party may consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, such Third Party Claim if such settlement or judgment includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party and its Affiliates from all liability arising out of such Third Party Claim. With respect to a Third Party Claim regarding Taxes, the Sellers only have the right to control such Third Party Claim as an Indemnifying Party hereunder if it (x) relates to Taxes attributable to the Business or the Transferred Assets with respect to a taxable period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the applicable Closing Date or (y) relates to Taxes imposed on the Sellers or their Affiliates, provided that with respect to any Third Party Claim with respect to Transaction Taxes, the Sellers and the Buyer shall jointly control such Third Party Claim and shall share equally in any direct costs and expenses incurred by the parties with respect thereto.

(c) In the event that an Indemnified Party determines that it has a claim pursuant to Section 9.04(a) that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the amount of such claim (if known or reasonably capable of estimation) and any relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable access to its books and records, properties, assets, personnel, agents and advisors for the purpose of allowing the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to verify any such claim. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall negotiate in good faith regarding the

resolution of any disputed claims of liability. Promptly following the final determination of the amount of any disputed claims by written agreement between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or pursuant to a final, non-appealable order or judgment regarding such disputed claims that has been entered in a court of competent jurisdiction, the Indemnifying Party promptly shall pay the amount of any such finally determined liability to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer or check made payable to the order of the Indemnified Party.

Section 9.05. Exclusive Remedies. The Sellers and the Buyer acknowledge and agree that, following the applicable Closing, the indemnification provisions of Sections 9.02 and 9.03 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of any Buyer Indemnified Party and any TCCC Indemnified Party, respectively, for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that it may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with, any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by the Buyer or the Sellers, respectively, or any failure by the Buyer or a Seller, respectively, to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement set forth herein, except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

Section 9.06. Additional Indemnification Provisions.

(a) The Sellers and the Buyer agree, for themselves and on behalf of their respective Affiliates and Representatives, that with respect to the indemnification obligations in this Agreement: (i) all Losses shall be net of any third-party insurance proceeds which have been recovered by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification; (ii) in no event shall the Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, lost profits or similar items (including loss of revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to a breach or alleged breach hereof) unless any such damages or items are awarded to a third-party in a Third Party Claim, provided that this Section 9.06(a)(ii) shall not limit or restrict in any way the right or ability of an Indemnified Party to recover damages that are direct and reasonably foreseeable; and (iii) so long as such party has complied with its obligations under Section 2.02, no party shall have the obligation to indemnify any other Person with respect to any Losses to the extent relating to any failure by the parties to obtain the consent of any Person required in an Assumed Contract (other than in the event where such Assumed Contract is a Material Contract that the Sellers failed to identify as requiring consent or notice on Section 3.12(a) of the Disclosure Schedule) as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

(b) In addition to, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, the Sellers and the Buyer agree, for themselves and on behalf of their respective Affiliates and Representatives, that the Sellers shall have no liability to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party under this Agreement with respect to any Losses (i) to the extent such Losses are included in the Assumed Liabilities reflected on the Final Amounts Schedules, or (ii) to the extent such Losses are caused by or result from any action (A) that after the date hereof the Buyer requests the Sellers to take or refrain from taking in writing pursuant to Section 5.01 (other than actions the Sellers are already

obligated to take or refrain from taking under this Agreement), (B) taken pursuant to a written consent from the Buyer specifically authorizing such action, but only as long as the Sellers’ request for written consent to such action was not related to curing a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of a Seller hereunder, or (C) that the Sellers or any of their Affiliates, having sought the Buyer’s consent pursuant to Section 5.01, did not take as a result of the Buyer having unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned the requested consent, other than, in the case of clauses (A) and (B), any such Losses constituting costs and expenses specifically and intentionally incurred by the Sellers to take any such action requested by the Buyer and agreed to by the Sellers.

Section 9.07. Mitigation. Each of the parties hereto agrees to take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

Section 9.08. Third Party Recovery. If the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the TCCC Indemnified Parties recover any amounts in respect of Losses from any third party at any time after the Buyer or the Sellers, as applicable, have paid all or a portion of such Losses to the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the TCCC Indemnified Parties, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, the Buyer or the Sellers, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Buyer Indemnified Parties or TCCC Indemnified Parties, as applicable, to promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of receipt) pay over to the Buyer or to the Sellers, as applicable, the amount so received (to the extent previously paid by the Buyer or the Sellers, as applicable).

Section 10.03. Public Announcements. No party or Affiliate of such party shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or public announcement or otherwise communicate with any news media in respect of this Agreement or the Companion Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the prior written consent of the Sellers and the Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except as may be required by Law or stock exchange rules, in which case the party required to publish such press release or public announcement shall allow the other parties a reasonable opportunity to comment on such press release or public announcement in advance of such publication.

Section 10.04. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.05. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and therein, this Agreement (together with the exhibits and schedules hereto) and the Companion Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the Sellers and the Buyer with respect to the acquisition of the Business by the Buyer and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between or on behalf of the Sellers and the Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to the acquisition of the Business by the Buyer.

Section 10.06. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement, may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that the Sellers may assign any or all of their rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of their Affiliates, but only to the extent that such assignment would not result in an impairment of the Buyer’s rights under this Agreement; and provided, further, that the Buyer may, without the prior written consent of the Sellers, assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one (1) or more of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 10.07. No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

Section 10.08. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by all the parties to such agreement.

Section 10.09. Disclosure Schedule. Any disclosure with respect to a Section or Schedule of this Agreement shall be deemed to be disclosed for other Sections and Schedules of this Agreement to the extent that such disclosure sets forth facts in sufficient detail so that the relevance of such disclosure with respect to such other Sections or Schedules would be reasonably apparent to a reader of such disclosure. Matters reflected in any Section of this Agreement, including any Section of the Disclosure Schedule, are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be so reflected. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in any Section or Schedule of this Agreement shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in this Agreement.

Section 10.10. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Agreement and the Companion Agreements (and any claims, causes of action or disputes that may be based upon, arise out of or relate hereto or thereto, to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, to the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof, or to the inducement of any party to enter herein and therein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise) shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, in each case without reference to any conflict of Law rules that might lead to the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto agrees that, except to the extent set forth otherwise in the Companion Agreements, any claims, causes of action or disputes that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Companion Agreements, to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, to the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof, or to the inducement of any party to enter herein and therein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise, shall be resolved only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the District of Delaware and the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from such courts (the “Delaware Courts”). In that context, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i) submits for itself and its property in any Action relating to this Agreement and the Companion Agreements, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such Action shall be heard and determined in the Delaware Courts;

(ii) consents that any such Action may and shall be brought in the Delaware Courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of any such Action in the Delaware Courts or that such Action was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(iii) agrees that service of process in any such Action may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address as provided in Section 10.02; and

(iv) agrees that nothing in this Agreement or the Companion Agreements shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the Laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 10.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMPANION AGREEMENTS OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS

CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (c) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (d) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

Section 10.12. Bulk Sales Laws. The Buyer and the Sellers each hereby waive compliance by the Sellers with the provisions of the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar laws of any state or any jurisdiction within or outside the United States.

Section 10.13. Specific Performance. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other parties hereto and that no party hereto would have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement, including the Sellers’ obligation to sell the Transferred Assets to the Buyer, and the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement, including the Buyer’s obligation to purchase and acquire the Transferred Assets from the Sellers, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 10.14. Rules of Construction. Interpretation of this Agreement and the Companion Agreements shall be governed by the following rules of construction: (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (b) references to the terms Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and Schedule are references to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules of or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (c) the terms “hereof”, “herein”, “hereby”, “hereto”, and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule, Annexes and Exhibits hereto; (d) references to “dollars” or “$” mean United States dollars; (e) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement means including without limitation, unless otherwise specified; (f) the word “or” shall not be exclusive; (g) references to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form; (h) each of the parties hereto has participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and, if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening any party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions in this Agreement; (i) a reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and permitted assigns; (j) any reference to days means calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified; and (k) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded, and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 10.15. Counterparts. This Agreement and the Companion Agreements may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, and by the different parties to each such agreement in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

If no such comparable position with Buyer is available at such time, such Inactive Business Employee will not become a Transferred Employee and Buyer shall have no further obligation with respect to such Inactive Business Employee. Such Inactive Business Employee may apply for vacant positions with Buyer.

2.2 Terms of Offer. Each offer of employment made to a Business Employee pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall provide for: (a) employment with Buyer or a Buyer Subsidiary, (b) until at least the Anniversary Date, a total compensation amount (comprised of base salary or hourly wage, plus potential short-term incentive compensation target (annual, local and sales), if any) that is comparable in the aggregate to such Business Employee’s total compensation amount in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, except for (i) performance-based adjustments to short-term incentives and (ii) overtime, and (c) if the Business Employee is a salaried employee whose work location prior to the Closing Date is more than fifty (50) miles from the required work location for Buyer, a requirement that the employee agree to relocate to Buyer’s required work location in accordance with Buyer’s policies. Buyer shall have no obligation to hire a Business Employee who receives a contingent offer pursuant to subclause (c) who does not agree to relocate to Buyer’s required work location; however, Buyer agrees to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of severance benefits pursuant to Seller’s Severance Pay Plan for Exempt Employees effective January 1, 2012 (the “CCR Exempt Employee Severance Plan”), if Seller is unsuccessful in identifying an alternate position for the employee within Seller’s organization within a reasonable time after the Closing Date. The parties hereto understand and agree that Buyer will bear one hundred percent (100%) of the expense associated with maintaining such total compensation amount referred to in subclause (b) above with respect to each Business Employee who becomes a Transferred Employee (as defined below). The parties hereto also understand and agree that, except as expressly set forth in this Employee Matters Agreement, Buyer will have sole discretion and sole responsibility regarding the Transferred Employees’ salaries, hourly wages and short-term incentive compensation.

2.3 Transferred Employee. Buyer shall give each Business Employee until the close of business on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date to accept an offer of employment made pursuant to this Article II, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(b) hereof. A Business Employee who accepts employment with Buyer and commences working for Buyer shall become a “Transferred Employee”. Each Active Business Employee who accepts employment with Buyer shall become a Transferred Employee effective on the first day immediately following the Closing Date and shall terminate his or her employment with Seller as of the Closing Date. Each Inactive Business Employee who accepts employment with Buyer shall become a Transferred Employee on the date he or she returns to work (“Deferred Hire Date”), provided such date is on or before the Anniversary Date, and shall terminate his or her employment with Seller as of the date immediately prior to the Deferred Hire Date. If an Inactive Business Employee does not return to work on or before the Anniversary Date, Buyer shall have no obligation under this Employee Matters Agreement to hire such employee, and such employee shall not become a Transferred Employee. Buyer agrees that it will not institute a reduction in force or otherwise terminate any Transferred Employees, other than for Cause, for a period of thirty (30) days after the Closing.

2.4 Rejected Offers. Except as provided in Section 2.2 hereof, Buyer shall have no obligation with respect to any Business Employee who rejects Buyer’s offer of employment made pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof. Except as referred to in Section 2.2 hereof, it is the intent of the parties that such employee shall not be entitled to any termination or severance benefits as a result of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, and each of the parties shall cause their respective severance plans, policies, programs or arrangement to be interpreted and administered consistent with such intent.

2.5 WARN. The parties acknowledge their mutual understanding and intent that because of Buyer’s obligation to offer employment to each Business Employee pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the termination of such Business Employees upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement shall not constitute a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” within the meaning of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”) or any similar state or local law. Accordingly, Buyer shall be solely responsible and agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any Losses under WARN or any similar state or local law arising out of Buyer’s failure to offer employment to all of the Business Employees pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof. Buyer further agrees that it shall be solely responsible for any liability under WARN or any similar state or local law for any terminations of Transferred Employees occurring on or after the Closing Date.

ARTICLE III – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

3.1 Severance. Each Transferred Employee will be eligible to participate in Buyer’s severance plans (if any) under the same terms and conditions as other similarly-situated employees of Buyer. Until the Anniversary Date, Buyer agrees to provide to any Transferred Employee who is involuntarily terminated by Buyer for any reason, other than for Cause (as defined herein), severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits such employee would have received under the CCR Exempt Employee Severance Plan or the Coca-Cola Refreshments Severance Pay Plan for Nonexempt Employees, as in effect and applicable to such employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, it being understood that Buyer will bear one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of any severance benefits so paid pursuant to this Section 3.1. For purposes of this Section 3.1, “Cause” means a reason for termination based on an employee’s inappropriate behavior or conduct in violation of Buyer’s rules, policies, or directives and/or in violation of law, specifically excluding, however, an employee’s inability to meet performance goals or criteria. Buyer further agrees that any such severance benefits paid in accordance with this Section shall be conditioned upon the Transferred Employee executing and timely returning a release of claims agreement, the form of which, in the case of severance paid pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 3.1, shall be mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller and shall include, without limitation, a release of any and all claims such employee may have arising out or relating to such employee’s employment with Seller and Buyer or the termination thereof.

3.2 Service Credit. Buyer shall take all actions necessary such that Transferred Employees shall be credited for their actual and credited service with Seller and each of its Affiliates, for purposes of participation, eligibility and vesting in Buyer’s “employee welfare benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA), the Buyer Savings Plan, and Buyer’s vacation, service awards, and any other plans, policies or practices in which Transferred Employees may commence participation after the Closing; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit to any such Transferred Employee.

3.3 Health and Welfare Benefits.

(a) Buyer shall take all action necessary to ensure that the Transferred Employees will be eligible to participate in Buyer’s “employee welfare benefit plan” to the same extent as Buyer’s other employees. Buyer shall take all action necessary to ensure that, to the extent permitted under Buyer’s “employee welfare benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of

ERISA) covering Transferred Employees after the Closing, such plans shall (i) waive any pre-existing condition exclusions, (ii) waive any proof of insurability, and (iii) recognize, for purposes of satisfying any deductibles and out-of-pocket amounts maximums during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, any payments made by any Transferred Employee toward deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums in any health or other insurance plan of Seller or an Affiliate of Seller. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Seller will make available to Transferred Employees a one-time cash payment to offset higher costs for employees in Buyer’s “employee welfare benefit plans” (if applicable), calculated for a period of two (2) years. Buyer and Seller will share the cost and expense of providing such payment as mutually agreed by the parties.

(b) Business Employees who meet the eligibility requirements under Seller’s retiree medical plan prior to the Closing Date may elect retiree medical benefits under such plan, and be eligible for hire by Buyer. Buyer will not offer retiree medical benefits to Transferred Employees. Seller will make available a one-time reimbursement payment to Transferred Employees who are adversely affected by the loss of retiree medical benefits as a result of the Closing and will bear one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of this payment (if applicable).

3.4 401(k) Benefits. Seller shall cause The Coca-Cola Company 401(k) Plan to fully vest the Transferred Employees in their accounts immediately prior to his or her termination of employment with Seller. Buyer and Seller will share the cost and expense of providing such full vesting as mutually agreed by the parties. Transferred Employees will be eligible to participate in one or more defined contribution savings plans intended to qualify under Section 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code (“Buyer Savings Plan”) and, effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Buyer Savings Plan to provide for receipt of Transferred Employees’ distribution of their account balances, including any outstanding loans and shares of The Coca-Cola Company common stock, in the form of an eligible rollover distribution from The Coca-Cola Company 401(k) Plan, provided such rollovers are made at the election of the Transferred Employees.

3.5 Pension Benefits. Seller shall cause The Coca-Cola Company Pension Plan to fully vest the Transferred Employees in their accrued benefit effective immediately prior to his or her termination of employment with Seller. In addition, Seller shall cause The Coca-Cola Company Pension Plan to provide an additional benefit accrual to each Transferred Employee, as of the date immediately before such employee’s termination of employment with Seller, an amount equal to the difference between (i) the benefit accrual such employee would have received under The Coca-Cola Company Pension Plan if he or she had remained employed by Seller or its Affiliates from the date of his or her termination of employment with Seller until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, minus (ii) the excess (if any) between Buyer’s 401(k) matching formula and Seller’s 401(k) matching formula. Buyer and Seller will share the cost and expense of such full vesting and additional pension amount as mutually agreed by the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision herein to the contrary, if Seller determines in good faith, that such additional benefit accrual under The Coca-Cola Company Pension Plan may cause the plan to violate Section 401(a) of the Code or is otherwise impermissible or inadvisable for any reason, Seller may, in its sole discretion, provide the amount set forth herein to the Transferred Employees in a lump-sum cash payment, subject to applicable tax withholding.

3.6 Automobile Allowance. Buyer agrees to adopt or maintain an automobile allowance policy (“Buyer’s Auto-Allowance Policy”) that is comparable, in the aggregate, to Seller’s automobile allowance policy in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. Transferred Employees who participated in Seller’s automobile allowance policy immediately prior to Closing will be eligible to participate in Buyer’s Auto-Allowance Policy effective as of the Closing Date and until at least the Anniversary Date.

3.7 COBRA Coverage. Seller shall be solely responsible for offering and providing any COBRA coverage with respect to any of the Business Employees who is a “qualified beneficiary,” who is covered by a Seller Employee Plan that is a “group health plan” and who experiences a “qualifying event” on or prior to the date the employee becomes a Transferred Employee. Buyer shall be solely responsible for offering and providing any COBRA coverage required with respect to any Transferred Employee (or other qualified beneficiary), who becomes covered by a group health plan sponsored or contributed to by Buyer and who experiences a qualifying event subsequent to the date the employee becomes a Transferred Employee. For purposes hereof, each of “qualified beneficiary”, “group health plan” and “qualifying event” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 4980B of the Code.

3.8 Vacation Pay, Holidays and Sick Pay.

(a) Buyer shall not assume or otherwise become liable for, and Seller shall not transfer to Buyer, any liabilities of Seller with respect to accrued but unused vacation or paid time off (excluding sick pay) (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”). Seller shall pay to each Transferred Employee the Accrued Amount with respect to such employee in accordance with Seller’s regular payroll practices and procedures for the payment of wages to terminating employees. Seller will communicate the timing and amount of the payouts of the Accrued Amounts to Buyer. Up to and including the Anniversary Date, Buyer will honor Seller’s vacation and holiday policies as to the number of days available as in effect on the date immediately prior to the Closing for the benefit of the Transferred Employees; provided, that Buyer may, at its option, elect to provide the Transferred Employees with cash compensation in lieu of any such additional vacation or holidays that would be required under Seller’s vacation, paid time off, and holiday policies. Except as provided in this Section 3.8(a), Transferred Employees’ entitlement to vacation, paid time off or holidays will be accrued or available and used only in accordance with Buyer’s own vacation, paid time off and holiday policies.

(b) Buyer will offer a sick pay transition benefit to Transferred Employees, which will include the creation of a temporary “bank” and credit such bank for each Transferred Employee with the lesser of ten (10) sick pay days or the number of the Transferred Employee’s unused sick pay days as of the Closing Date as set forth in Seller’s payroll records that will be made available for use by the Transferred Employees until the Anniversary Date, and which will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any sick pay days to which the Transferred Employees may be entitled under the Buyer’s existing sick pay policy. Unused days from this temporary “bank” will not be paid out to Transferred Employees after the Anniversary Date. The cost of providing this benefit will be shared between the parties, with Buyer bearing the cost of the additional sick days one (1) through five (5) and Seller bearing the cost of additional days six (6) through ten (10). After the Anniversary Date, the parties will review the implementation of the sick pay transition benefit and associated costs as compared to other programs implemented by expanding participating bottlers other than Buyer, and the parties may make such adjustments as are mutually agreed in order to ensure the continued effectiveness and consistency of similar programs that may be implemented in connection with future transactions, if any.

3.9 Plan Authority. No Seller Employee Plans or assets of any Seller Employee Plans shall be transferred to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, constitutes an amendment or modification to Seller Employee Plans or Seller policies, programs or arrangements. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall prohibit the parties or their Affiliates, as applicable, from adding, deleting or changing provider of benefits, changing, increasing or decreasing co-payments, deductibles or other requirements for coverage or benefits (e.g., utilization review or pre-certification requirements), and/or making other changes in the administration of or in the design, coverage and benefits provided to such Transferred Employees. Without reducing the obligations set forth in this Article III, no provision in this Employee Matters Agreement shall be construed as a limitation on the right of the parties or their Affiliates, as applicable, to suspend, amend, modify or terminate any employee benefit plan. Further, no provision of this Employee Matters Agreement shall be construed as limiting the parties’ or their Affiliates’, as applicable, discretion and authority to interpret their respective employee benefit and compensation plans, agreements, arrangements, and programs in accordance with their terms and applicable law.

ARTICLE IV – OTHER EMPLOYEE MATTERS

4.1 Cooperation. Buyer and Seller shall provide each other with such records and information as may be reasonably necessary, appropriate and permitted under applicable Law to carry out their obligations under this Employee Matters Agreement; provided, that initially Seller shall only be required to provide records with respect to the following: initial employment dates, termination dates, reemployment dates, hours of service, current compensation, Transferred Employee FMLA usage in the twelve (12) months prior to Closing, year to date contributions to The Coca-Cola Company 401(k) Plan and Code Section 125 health and dependent flexible spending accounts and the timing and amount of the payouts of Accrued Amounts to each Transferred Employee pursuant to Section 3.8(a). Subject to applicable laws, in connection with the Closing, upon Buyer’s request Seller will transfer to Buyer the personnel and employment records of the Transferred Employees (including, without limitation, Department of Transportation records and performance appraisals) to the extent that Buyer determines in its reasonable judgment that such records are necessary for the ongoing operation of the Business; provided, that in such case Seller will provide original records (including electronic records) to Buyer unless Buyer requests copies or only copies are in existence.

4.2 No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

4.3 Employment Liabilities.

(a) Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties against, and reimburse any Buyer Indemnified Party for, all Losses that such Buyer Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with (i) Employment-Related Obligations owed to any Business Employee (or their spouses or beneficiaries) to the extent arising prior to the Closing and (ii) any employees of Seller who are not hired by Buyer hereunder. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the TCCC Indemnified Parties against, and reimburse any TCCC Indemnified Party for, all Losses that such TCCC Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with Employment-Related Obligations owed to any Transferred Employee (or their spouses or beneficiaries) to the extent arising after the Closing. For purposes of this Employee Matters Agreement, “Employment-Related Obligations” means all Losses arising out of, related to, in respect of or in connection with employment relationships or alleged or potential employment relationships with the indemnifying party or their Affiliates relating to employees, leased employees, applicants and/or independent contractors or those individuals who are deemed to be employees of the indemnifying party or their Affiliates by contract or Law, including claims related to discrimination, torts, compensation for services (and related employment and withholding taxes), workers compensation or similar benefits and payments on account of occupational illnesses and injuries, employment contracts, invasion of privacy, infliction of emotional distress, defamation, slander, provision of leave under the FMLA or other similar Laws, car programs, relocation, expense-reporting, tax protection policies, claims arising out of WARN (except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.5) or employment, terms of employment, transfers, re-levels, demotions, failure to hire, failure to promote, compensation policies, practices and treatment, termination of employment, harassment, pay equity, employee benefits (including post-employment welfare and other benefits), employee treatment, employee suggestions or ideas, fiduciary performance, employment practices, the modification or termination of employee benefit plans, policies, programs, agreements and arrangement, and the like.

Indemnified Party to recover damages that are direct and reasonably foreseeable; and (iii) in no event shall the Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party under this Employee Matters Agreement with respect to any Losses to the extent such Losses constitute a payment obligation of the Indemnified Party under this Employee Matters Agreement.

(c) In addition to, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, the parties agree that Seller shall have no liability to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party under this Employee Matters Agreement with respect to any Losses to the extent such Losses are caused by or result from any action (i) that after the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement Buyer requested Seller to take or refrain from taking in writing pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Asset Purchase Agreement (other than actions Seller is already obligated to take or refrain from taking under this Employee Matters Agreement or the Asset Purchase Agreement), (ii) taken pursuant to a written consent from Buyer specifically authorizing such action, but only as long as Seller’s request for written consent to such action was not related to curing a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller hereunder or Sellers under the Asset Purchase Agreement, or (iii) that Seller or any of its Affiliates, having sought Buyer’s consent pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, did not take as a result of Buyer having unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned the requested consent, other than, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), any such Losses constituting costs and expenses specifically and intentionally incurred by Seller to take any such action requested by Buyer and agreed to by Seller.
