NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF ACQUIRED SECURITIES

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Acquired Securities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Sellers will sell, assign, transfer and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from the Sellers, all of the Acquired Securities owned by such Seller free and clear of any Liens (other than limitations under the Organizational Documents of the issuer of such Acquired Securities or limitations under any federal, state or foreign securities Laws) in exchange for the payment of the Purchase Price in cash to the Sellers.

1.2 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the purchase of the Acquired Securities shall be an amount equal to (a) $418,500,000 (the “Base Price”), plus (b) the amount, if any, by which the Working Capital exceeds the Working Capital Target, minus (c) the amount, if any, by which the Working Capital Target exceeds the Working Capital, plus (d) the Closing Cash, minus (e) Closing Date Indebtedness, minus (f) Transaction Expenses (such resulting amount pursuant to Sections 1.2(a)-(f), and as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.4, the “Purchase Price”).

1.3 Closing Payments. At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more bank accounts designated in writing by the Representative at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the following amounts (each such payment, a “Closing Payment”):

(a) payment to each Seller of such Seller’s portion of the Closing Consideration as set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement, which payments are hereby directed to be paid to Fairway 2.0 on behalf of each Seller (for distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages);

(b) payment to the Escrow Agent of a cash amount equal to the Escrow Amount for the Escrow Fund;

(d) payment on behalf of the Fairway Group Companies, to the payees thereof, of a cash amount equal to the amount of all Closing Date Payoff Indebtedness (excluding the Securitization Indebtedness) and all Transaction Expenses; and

(e) payment on behalf of the Fairway Group Companies, to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as indenture trustee under the Indenture (“Trustee”), of a cash amount equal to the amount of all Securitization Indebtedness.

Each of the Closing Payments shall be made in the amounts and as set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 1.4.

1.4 Adjustment of the Purchase Price.

(a) Pre-Closing Statement. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company delivered to Purchaser a statement (the “Pre-Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) the Company’s good faith estimate of the Purchase Price (the “Estimated Purchase Price”), together with reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating each component thereof, which has been prepared in a manner consistent with the definitions of the terms Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses and the Accounting Rules and (ii) the amount of the Closing Consideration payable to each Seller.

(b) Final Purchase Price Adjustment. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted following the Closing based on the difference between the Final Closing Date Purchase Price (as determined in accordance with this Section 1.4) and the Estimated Purchase Price, and payment shall be made in respect of any such post-Closing adjustment as set forth in Section 1.4(e).

(c) Closing Statement. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared in good faith and delivered to the Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the Purchase Price (“Closing Date Purchase Price”), together with an unaudited, consolidated balance sheet of the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date and the derivation of the Closing Date Purchase Price therefrom. The Closing Statement will be prepared in a manner consistent with the definitions of the terms Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses and the Accounting Rules and shall take into account any reduction in Taxes of the Blockers that were included in the Estimated Purchase Price attributable to State Mitigation Measures in accordance with Section 9.8. The Closing Statement will entirely disregard (i) any

and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies as a result of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Purchaser or its Affiliates or any other transaction entered into by Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, and (ii) any of the plans, transactions, or changes which Purchaser intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Blockers or any Fairway Group Company or their respective businesses or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Purchaser or its Affiliates or any of their assets or liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, unless the Representative otherwise agrees in writing, Purchaser may not amend, adjust, supplement or modify the Closing Statement or the amount of Closing Date Purchase Price following its delivery to the Representative. After the Closing Date, at Purchaser’s request, the Representative shall reasonably assist Purchaser in the preparation of the Closing Statement and shall provide Purchaser with any reasonably requested information in connection therewith (in each case to the extent reasonably relevant to the preparation of the Closing Statement). If Purchaser fails to deliver the Closing Statement within such 90-day period, then in addition to any other rights the Representative and Sellers may have under this Agreement, the Representative shall have the right to elect that the Estimated Purchase Price be deemed to be the amount of the Closing Date Purchase Price and be final and binding and used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4(e). The Parties acknowledge that no adjustments may be made to the Working Capital Target.

(d) Disputes.

(i) The Representative shall have 60 days to review the Closing Statement. If the Representative disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Date Purchase Price as set forth in the Closing Statement, the Representative may, within 60 days after receipt of the Closing Statement, deliver a written notice to Purchaser (a “Dispute Notice”) disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth the Representative’s alternative calculations for each item of disagreement. Any matters not disputed by the Representative in the Dispute Notice shall be deemed to have been accepted in all respects by the Representative and final and binding upon the Parties. If the Representative fails to deliver such notice during such 60-day period, the Representative shall have waived its rights to contest the Closing Statement and the calculations of the Closing Date Purchase Price set forth therein shall be deemed to be final and binding upon the Parties and such amount shall be used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4(e).

(ii) If a Dispute Notice is duly delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(d)(i), the Representative and Purchaser shall, during the 30 days following such delivery, attempt to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts to determine, as may be required, the amount of the Closing Date Purchase Price. Any such agreement shall be in writing and shall be final and binding upon the Parties. If during such period, the Representative and Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement, then all amounts and items remaining in dispute shall be submitted by the Representative and Purchaser to Duff & Xxxxxx LLC (the “Accounting Referee”) for a determination resolving such disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Closing Date Purchase Price (it being agreed and understood that the Accounting Referee shall act as an expert (and not an arbitrator) to determine such

disputed items or amounts (and, as a result thereof, the Closing Date Purchase Price) and shall do so based solely on written presentations and information provided by Purchaser and the Representative and not by independent review). Purchaser and the Representative shall agree, promptly after the appointment of the Accounting Referee, on the process and procedures governing the resolution of any disputed items by the Accounting Referee, provided, that if such Parties fail to agree on such process and procedures within 10 days following the appointment of the Accounting Referee, then such process and procedures shall be determined by the Accounting Referee (it being agreed and understood that such process shall include, at a minimum, appropriate measures to ensure compliance by the applicable parties with Section 1.4(f) and the process and procedures for the submission of any written presentations by the Representative and Purchaser and the time periods thereof). In conducting its review, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Statement and Purchaser’s calculations of the Closing Date Purchase Price as to which the Representative has disagreed. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Referee shall be limited to fixing mathematical errors and determining whether the items in dispute were determined in accordance with this Agreement (including the definition of the terms Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses and the Accounting Rules) and the Accounting Referee is not to make any other determination. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to the Representative and Purchaser, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than 30 days from the date of engagement of the Accounting Referee), a report setting forth its calculations of the Closing Date Purchase Price, which amount shall not be less than the applicable amount thereof shown in Purchaser’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(c) nor more than the amount thereof shown in the Representative’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(d)(i). Such report shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall be used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4(b) above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the dispute resolution mechanism contained in this Section 1.4(d) shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving disputes regarding the Purchase Price adjustment, if any. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Referee in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by the Parties in proportion to the relative amount each Party’s determination has been modified, with any amount to be borne by the Representative to be paid solely out of the Escrow Fund. For example, if the Representative challenges the calculation of the Closing Date Purchase Price by an amount of $100,000, but the Accounting Referee determines that the Representative has a valid claim for only $60,000, the Representative shall bear (solely out of the Escrow Fund) 40% of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee and Purchaser shall bear the other 60% of such fees and expenses.

(e) Final Closing Date Purchase Price. Following the time that the Closing Date Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4 (such finally determined amount, the “Final Closing Date Purchase Price”), payment shall be made as follows:

(i) If the Final Closing Date Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, within five Business Days after the Final Closing Date Purchase

Price is determined pursuant to this Section 1.4, (x) Purchaser shall pay to the Representative, for distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages (subject to adjustments by the Representative necessary to give effect to adjustments caused by changes in the calculation of Closing Cash of the Blockers), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Representative, an amount equal to such excess and (y) the Representative and Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Representative, for distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages (subject to adjustments by the Representative necessary to give effect to adjustments caused by changes in the calculation of Closing Cash of the Blockers), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Representative, the remaining funds in the Escrow Fund.

(ii) If the Final Closing Date Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, within five Business Days after the Final Closing Date Purchase Price is determined pursuant to this Section 1.4, the Representative and Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to (x) pay to Purchaser, out of the Escrow Fund, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser, an amount equal to such deficiency and (y), if and to the extent that any balance in the Escrow Fund will remain after such payment to Purchaser, release to the Representative, for distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages (subject to adjustments by the Representative necessary to give effect to adjustments caused by changes in the calculation of Closing Cash of the Blockers), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Representative, the remaining funds in the Escrow Fund.

Upon payment of the amounts provided in this Section 1.4(e) in accordance herewith, none of the Parties may make or assert any claim under this Section 1.4.

(f) Cooperation. During the period of time from and after the Closing Date through the final determination and payment of the Final Closing Date Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 1.4, the Representative and Purchaser shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Fairway Group Companies, the Blockers and each of its and their representatives to, reasonably cooperate and assist in any review by the Accounting Referee of the Closing Statement and the calculations of the Closing Date Purchase Price and in the conduct of the review referred to in this Section 1.4. Purchaser shall afford, and shall cause the Fairway Group Companies and the Blockers to afford, to the Representative and any accountants, counsel or financial advisers retained by the Representative in connection with the review of the Closing Date Purchase Price, reasonable access during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to the books, records, contracts, documents, information, executive personnel and representatives (including the Company’s and each Blocker’s accountants) of the Fairway Group Companies and the Blockers (including the work papers of the Company’s and each Blocker’s accountants) and, if requested by the Representative, shall provide any such books, records, contracts, documents and information electronically and in such formats as are reasonably requested, in each case to the extent reasonably relevant to the review of the Closing Statement and to the determination of the Closing Date Purchase Price. No actions taken by

Purchaser on its own behalf or on behalf of the Company, on or following the Closing Date shall be given effect for purposes of determining the Closing Date Working Capital, and the determination of the Closing Date Purchase Price shall not take into account any developments or events taking place after the Closing.

1.5 Escrow Amount. At the Closing, a portion of the Estimated Purchase Price in an amount equal to the Escrow Amount shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and such amount, as adjusted from time to time, together with any interest or other income earned thereon, shall be referred to as the “Escrow Fund”. Neither the Sellers nor any other Person shall have any liability for any amounts due to Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.4 in excess of the Escrow Amount, and Purchaser’s sole source of recourse and recovery for such amounts due shall be the funds available in the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Funds may be distributed to Purchaser and/or the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) solely and exclusively in accordance with Section 1.4(e) and the terms of the Escrow Agreement and shall not be available for any other payment to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

6.3 Conflicts; Consents of Third Parties.

(a) Assuming the making of the filings and notifications and the receipt of the consents or waiting period terminations or expirations identified in Section 6.3(b), none of the execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, or the consummation of the Transaction, conflicts with, violates or constitutes a default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or permit the acceleration of any obligation under, or give rise to a right of termination, modification cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under, or require any consent, approval or waiver from any Person pursuant to any provision of (i) the Organizational Documents of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates; (ii) any Contract or Permit to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is a party or by which any of the properties or assets of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates are bound; or (iii) any Law applicable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), where such conflict, violation or default would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

(b) No consent, notice, waiver, approval, waiting period expiration or termination, Order, Permit or authorization of, or declaration, registration or filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Authority is required on the part of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with the execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, or the consummation of the Transaction by Purchaser, except for such Governmental Approval, the failure of which to make or obtain would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

6.4 Legal Proceedings. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened, Legal Proceedings against Purchaser or any of its Affiliates that would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. There is no outstanding material Order imposed upon Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective assets, except for Legal Proceedings which, if adversely determined, would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

6.5 Financial Capability. Purchaser has (i) sufficient cash on hand (without giving effect to any unfunded financing regardless of whether any such financing is committed) to pay the Purchase Price and all related fees and expenses in connection with the Transaction and (ii) the resources and capabilities (financial or otherwise) to perform its obligations hereunder and Purchaser has not incurred any obligation, commitment, restriction or liability of any kind that would impair or adversely affect such resources and capabilities.

6.6 Investment. Purchaser is acquiring the Acquired Securities for its own account and for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. Purchaser acknowledges that the Acquired Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law and Purchaser must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Acquired Securities until and unless the offer and sale of such Acquired Securities is subsequently registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws or an exemption from such registration is applicable. Purchaser has conducted an examination of available information relating to the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies and their respective businesses, Purchaser has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating an investment in the Acquired Securities, and Purchaser can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Acquired Securities and can afford a complete loss of such investment.

6.7 Solvency. Immediately after giving effect to the Transaction (including any financing arrangements entered into in connection therewith), (i) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of each of the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies will exceed (A) the value of all liabilities of such Blockers and Fairway Group Companies, including contingent and other liabilities, and (B) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Blockers and Fairway Group Companies on their existing debts (including contingent liabilities) as such debts become absolute and matured, (ii) each of the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies will not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged, and (iii) each of the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies will be able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature. For purposes of the foregoing, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due. The Transaction is not being made by Purchaser with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditors of Purchaser, any Blocker or any of the Fairway Group Companies.

6.8 Financial Advisors. Except as set forth on Section 6.8 of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, no Person has acted, directly or indirectly, as a broker, finder, agent, investment banker or financial advisor for Purchaser or its Affiliates and no Person is entitled to any fee or commission or like payment from Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the Transaction.

ARTICLE IX

TAX MATTERS

9.1 Tax Returns. The Company shall, at its expense, use the historic Tax Return preparers of the Fairway Group Companies to prepare any Pass-Through Income Tax Returns of the Fairway Group Companies for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are due after the Closing Date and for all Straddle Periods (“Seller Tax Returns”). The Company shall deliver to Purchaser and the Representative copies of any such Seller Tax Returns at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing any such Seller Tax Return (taking into account all applicable extensions) for the Representative’s and Purchaser’s review and written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, all Seller Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Fairway Group Companies in filing such Tax Returns; provided, however, that (i) any gain recognized by the Fairway Group Companies in respect of the Company Restructuring shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Period and further allocated to the Blockers and the Selling Members, as applicable, (ii) to the maximum extent permitted by Law, any Transaction Tax Deductions shall be treated as relating to the Pre-Closing Period and (iii) a timely election shall be made to apply Rev. Proc. 2011-29 with respect to any amounts paid or payable in connection with the Closing that constitute success-based fees within the scope of Rev. Proc. 2011-29. Purchaser and the Representative agree to consult and resolve in good faith any dispute arising as with respect to any Seller Return and if they cannot agree on any disputed issue or item, such disputed issues shall be referred to, and resolved by (within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Seller Return) the Accounting Referee or another nationally recognized independent accounting firm to be mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and the Representative (such agreed firm being the “Tax Referee”). Purchaser shall timely and properly file, or cause to be filed, such Seller Return reflecting the dispute as finally and conclusively resolved by the Tax Referee; provided that if the disputed items are not resolved before the filing due date (taking into account extensions), any such Seller Return shall be finalized and filed in the manner provided by the Representative, and, to the extent the disputed items are resolved by the Tax Referee in the manner proposed by Purchaser, Purchaser will promptly amend or cause to be amended such Seller Return consistent with such resolution to the extent permitted by Law. The costs, fees and expenses of the Tax Referee shall be borne equally by the Representative and Purchaser. The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to (A) complete all final Pass-Through Income Tax Returns (including Schedules K-1) of the Company for Tax periods that include the Closing Date by February 28, 2019 and (B) provide the Representative with any information or estimates reasonably required by it or its Affiliates for tax reporting purposes promptly upon request by the Representative.

9.2 Audits. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall promptly notify the Representative in writing upon receiving notice from any Taxing Authority of the commencement of any audit or administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Pass-Through Income Tax Returns of any Fairway Group Company for any Pre-Closing Period and any Straddle Period (“Tax Contest”). The Representative and Purchaser shall jointly control the conduct and resolution of any such Tax Contest, provided that any such Tax Contest shall not be settled without the prior written consent of both Purchaser and the Representative, neither of which shall be unreasonably withheld,

conditioned or delayed. If the Representative elects not to participate in the conduct and resolution of any Tax Contest, the Representative shall notify Purchaser in writing and Purchaser shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Contest; provided that Purchaser (a) shall keep the Representative informed of the progress of such Tax Contest, (b) shall promptly provide the Representative with copies of all material documents (including material notices, protests, briefs, written rulings and determinations and correspondence) pertaining to such Tax Contest and (c) shall not settle such Tax Contest without the Representative’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to cooperate in good faith with the Representative in connection with any Tax Contest to avoid the need to make adjustments to or otherwise amend filed Tax Returns of any member of the Company, including by having the applicable Fairway Group Company pay directly to the applicable Governmental Authority any income Taxes for a Pre-Closing Period resulting from the resolution of such Tax Contest rather than flowing out corresponding adjustments to the Selling Members, as reasonably directed by the Representative, in which case the Representative would reimburse Purchaser for the Selling Members’ share of such income Taxes; provided, however, that should the Representative fail to reimburse Purchaser for the Selling Members’ share of such income Taxes prior to the due date for making the election provided for in Code Section 6226 (or any comparable provision of state or local income Tax Law), Purchaser shall be entitled in its sole discretion to make the election provided for in Code Section 6226 (or any comparable provision of state or local income Tax Law) in respect of any applicable Tax Contest.

9.3 Filing and Amendment of Tax Returns. Without the prior written consent of the Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to: (a) except as set forth in Section 9.1, file or amend any Pass-Through Income Tax Return relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any Straddle Period), or (b) rescind or change any Tax election or accounting method that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Period (including any Straddle Period) of any Fairway Group Company.

9.4 Cooperation. After the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Representative shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) (a) assist the other Party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other Party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with Section 9.1, and in connection therewith provide the other Party necessary powers of attorney, (b) cooperate fully in preparing for and conducting any audits of, or disputes with Taxing Authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of the Fairway Group Companies or Blockers, (c) cooperate fully in preparing any Tax Return amendments and ruling requests and other submissions pursuant to Section 9.8 and (d) make available to the other Party as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Fairway Group Companies and the Blockers. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser and the Representative shall retain (and shall cause their Affiliates to retain) copies of all Tax Returns and related workpapers for all taxable periods that include the Closing Date and all prior taxable periods until the expiration of the statute of limitations to which such Tax Returns relate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall furnish to the Representative (i) as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the taxable year of the Company that includes the Closing Date, and in any event within 60 days after such date, best available estimates of all information concerning the Company reasonably required for the preparation of income Tax Returns of the Selling Members in sufficient detail to enable each such Selling Member to prepare its federal, state, local, foreign and other income Tax Returns for periods that include the Pre-Closing Periods of the Company (including Straddle Periods).

9.5 Tax-Sharing Agreements. Prior to the Closing, the Fairway Group Companies and the Blockers have terminated all Tax sharing or allocation agreements to which any of them was a party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Tax distribution agreements with respect to the Company (but not including any Tax distribution or allocation provisions in the Organizational Documents of the Company)) and have caused all amounts owing thereunder to be settled.

9.6 Purchase Price Allocation. The Sellers and Purchaser agree that an election under Section 754 of the Code (and any analogous state or local provision) (the “Section 754 Election”) shall be made for the Company (and any subsidiary of the Company that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes) if such election is not already in effect for the Company’s taxable year (or the taxable year of any subsidiary of the Company that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes) that includes the Closing Date and that the Company’s Tax Returns (and the Tax Returns of any subsidiary of the Company that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with such election. For purposes of determining (a) the adjustments to tax basis of the Company’s assets under Section 743(b) of the Code resulting from the Section 754 Election and (b) the portion of the gain or loss recognized by the Sellers upon the sale and purchase of the Units pursuant to this Agreement that is attributable to the Company’s “unrealized receivables” and “inventory items” (as such terms are defined in Section 751 of the Code), Purchaser, the Sellers and the Representative agree that the Final Closing Date Purchase Price (excluding any amounts attributable to the acquisition of the Acquired Shares, but plus other relevant items required under the Code, including Purchaser’s share of the liabilities of the Company as determined under Section 752 of the Code) will be allocated among the Company’s assets in accordance with Section 755 of the Code and the regulations thereunder and consistent with this Section 9.1. The Representative will deliver its calculation of such allocation to Purchaser within 60 days after the final determination of the Final Closing Date Purchase Price (the “Allocation”). In the event that Purchaser objects to the Allocation, Purchaser shall notify the Representative of its objection to the Allocation within 30 days of the receipt of the Allocation and the Parties will endeavor in good faith over the next 15 days to resolve such dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within such 15-day period, the Parties shall submit the dispute to the Tax Referee, which will promptly determine those matters in dispute (based on written presentations from the parties and not based on its independent review) and will render a written report as to the disputed matters (the matters determined by such Tax Referee, together with those matters that were agreed by the parties, the “Agreed Allocation”). The costs and expenses of the Tax Referee will be split evenly by Purchaser and the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers). Purchaser, the Fairway Group Companies, the Blockers and the Representative will file any Tax Returns and any other governmental filings on a basis consistent with such allocation of fair market value. Neither Purchaser nor the Representative nor any of their respective Affiliates will take any position (whether in Tax audits, Tax Returns, or other Tax positions) that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law.

9.7 Withholding. Each of Purchaser, the Company and the Escrow Agent, and their respective agents, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the cash otherwise payable under this Agreement as the applicable paying Person reasonably determines that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such payments under the Code or any other provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided that if Purchaser determines that an amount is required to be deducted or withheld, Purchaser shall (i) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment of such amount, provide the Representative with written notice of its intent to deduct and withhold (ii) cooperate in good faith with the Representative to reduce or eliminate the deduction or withholding of such amount (including cooperation in seeking refunds of any amounts withheld), and (iii) shall provide the Representative a reasonable opportunity to provide forms or other documentation that would exempt such amounts from withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

9.8 State Income Taxes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after the Closing, the Representative shall have the right, at its own expense, to take measures to mitigate any state income Taxes of the Blockers attributable to the Company Restructuring to the extent such Taxes were included in Indebtedness, and Purchaser, the Blockers, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall reasonably cooperate with the Representative in connection therewith (including by granting to the Representative any necessary powers of attorney). Such measures (“State Mitigation Measures”) may include amending state Tax Returns of the Blockers and/or the Fairway Group Companies and filing ruling requests with applicable state Governmental Authorities; provided, that the Representative shall provide a copy of any such draft filings to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review, comment and approval prior to filing thereof, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. At the Representative’s request, Purchaser shall promptly submit any such Tax Return amendments, ruling requests or other filings to the applicable Governmental Authorities which are consistent with the draft filings reviewed, commented on, and approved by Purchaser described above. To the extent any State Mitigation Measures result in a reduction in Taxes that were included in Indebtedness, Purchaser shall promptly following the “Reimbursement Trigger Date” (as defined below) pay to the Representative (for the benefit of the Sellers) an amount equal to the excess of (a) Taxes that were actually included in Indebtedness over (b) Taxes that would have been included in Indebtedness had the applicable State Mitigation Measure been made or approved, as the case may be, prior to the Closing. To the extent any State Mitigation Measures directly result in an increase in Taxes of the Fairway Group Companies over the amount of Taxes included in Indebtedness, then Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, shall promptly pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the deficit of (a) Taxes that were actually included in Indebtedness below (b) Taxes that would have been included in Indebtedness had the applicable State Mitigation Measure been made or approved, as the case may be, prior to the Closing, but only upon such time as, and to the extent that, the Purchaser has paid any such Tax deficit to the applicable Governmental Authorities. For purposes of the foregoing, “Reimbursement Trigger Date” shall mean the first Business Day that either of the following shall have occurred, as applicable with respect to a State Mitigation Measure:¹ (i) the amended Tax Return shall have been filed, and the applicable statute of limitations for audits or challenges thereto by the applicable Governmental Authority shall have

¹	Note to Draft: The ruling may be received prior to the Tax being actually paid to Indiana.

expired, or (ii) a ruling or similar dispositive written guidance by the applicable Governmental Authority, but in either case only to the extent final and binding with respect to the taxpayer requesting such ruling or guidance, shall have been issued by the applicable Governmental Authority granting the Blockers’ and/or the Fairway Group Companies’ request, as the case may be.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Expenses.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated hereby or thereby and the consummation of the Transaction.

(b) Any sales, use, real estate transfer, stock transfer or similar transfer Tax (“Transfer Taxes”) payable in connection with the Transaction shall be borne solely by Purchaser. Except as otherwise required by Law, Purchaser shall duly and timely prepare and file any Tax Return relating to such Taxes. To the extent Seller is required by Law to sign or file any such Tax Return, Purchaser shall give the Seller a copy of each such Tax Return for its review and comments at least 15 days prior to filing and shall give the Seller a copy of such Tax Return as filed, together with proof of payment of the Taxes shown thereon to be payable.

10.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed in such state without giving effect to the choice of law principals of such state that would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

10.3 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Parties agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Transaction or to this Agreement, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination thereof, including claims seeking redress or asserting rights under any Law, shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of the State of Delaware or any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Courts”) and appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from such Delaware Courts. In that context, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any action relating to the Transaction or to this Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts, and appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from any of the foregoing courts, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action shall be heard and determined in such Delaware Courts or, to the extent permitted by law, in such appellate courts;

(b) consents that any such action may and shall be brought exclusively in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of any such action in any such court or that such action was brought in an inconvenient forum, and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) waives all right to trial by jury in any action (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to the Transaction or to this Agreement, or its performance under or the enforcement of this Agreement;

(d) 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 10.7; and

(e) agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.

10.4 Further Assurances. After the Closing, each Party shall from time to time, at the request of and without further cost or expense to the other, execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and assumption and take such other actions as may reasonably be requested in order to more effectively consummate the Transaction.

10.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) and the other Transaction Agreements represent the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the Transaction and supersedes all prior agreements among the Parties respecting the Transaction. The Parties have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the Transaction exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement; and the Parties expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

10.6 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by Purchaser and the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers); provided, however, that the Representative shall not consent to any amendment of any representation or warranty (x) of any Seller in ARTICLE III without the consent of such Seller and (y) of any Blocker in ARTICLE IV without the consent of such Blocker. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure

on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In the event any provision of any other Transaction Agreement shall in any way conflict with the provisions of this Agreement (except where a provision therein expressly provides that it is intended to take precedence over this Agreement) this Agreement shall control.

10.7 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission), or (c) one Business Day following the day sent by overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses and facsimile numbers (or to such other address or facsimile number as a Party may have specified by notice given to the other Party pursuant to this provision).

10.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transaction 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 shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transaction is consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.9 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and hereby agrees that any breach of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Company, the Representative, the Blockers or the Sellers on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Company, the Representative, the Blockers or the Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other under this Agreement. The Company, the Representative, the Blockers or the Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, by the Company, the Representative, the Blockers or the Sellers, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

10.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries; No Recourse Against Affiliates; Liability. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to give any rights to any Person or entity other than (i) the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, (ii) each D&O Indemnified Person, who shall have the right to enforce the obligations of Purchaser and the Company solely with respect to Section 7.7, (iii) Fairway 2.0, who shall have the benefit of, and the right to enforce, Section 7.10, (iv) the Related Parties, who shall have the benefit of, and the right to enforce, this Section 10.10, (v) the Retained Counsel, who shall have the benefit of, and the right to enforce, Section 10.15, (vi) the Seller Parties, who shall have the benefit of, and the right to enforce, Section 10.16(a), (vii) the Company Persons, who shall have the benefit of, and the right to enforce, Section 10.16(b) and (viii) as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. No Related Party of the Company or any Seller (and no Related Party of any Related Party), other than the Company, Sellers and the Representative, shall have any liability (whether in Law or in equity or in contract or in tort) for any obligations or liabilities of the Company or the Sellers arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transaction, including any alleged nondisclosure or misrepresentations made by any such Persons.

10.11 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any right, interest or obligation hereunder, directly or indirectly (by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written approval of Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), on the other hand. Any assignment in violation of this Section 10.11 shall be void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.12 Cooperation with Legal Proceedings. From and after the Closing, if requested by the Representative, Purchaser shall cooperate with the Representative in the investigation, defense or prosecution of any Legal Proceedings pending or threatened against the Representative, any Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to the business of the Fairway Group Companies, other than Legal Proceedings where Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is adverse to the Representative, any Seller or any of their Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but provided that such requests shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of Purchaser, Purchaser shall make available its employees to give depositions or testimony and shall furnish all documentary or other evidence that the Representative may reasonably request. The Representative shall reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 10.12.

10.13 WARN Act Compliance. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Fairway Group Companies to comply with, and shall be responsible for any failure to comply with, and bear any and all liability under, the requirements of the WARN Act based on Purchaser’s acts or failures to act occurring after the Closing.

10.14 Authorization of Representative.

(a) The Representative is hereby appointed, authorized and empowered to act as a representative, for the benefit of the Sellers, as the exclusive agent, attorney-in-fact, proxy and representative to act on behalf of the Sellers, in connection with and to facilitate the consummation of the Transaction, including pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, which shall include the power and authority: (i) to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement (with such modifications or changes therein as to which the Representative, in its sole discretion, shall have consented) and to agree to such amendments or modifications thereto as the Representative, in its sole discretion, determines to be desirable; (ii) to execute and deliver such amendments, waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction and thereby as the Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable; (iii) to collect and receive all moneys and other proceeds and property payable to the Representative from the Escrow Funds as described herein, and, subject to any applicable withholding laws, and net of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Representative, the Representative shall disburse and pay the same to each of the Sellers in accordance with such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage; (iv) as the Representative, to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Sellers and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements (including in connection with any and all claims related to Taxes, or claims related to the Closing Date Working Capital), and to take any and all actions which the Representative believes are necessary or appropriate under the Escrow Agreement and/or this Agreement for and on behalf of the Sellers, including asserting or pursuing any claim, action, proceeding or investigation (a “Claim”) against Purchaser and/or any of the Blockers or the Fairway Group Companies (after the Closing), defending any Claims, consenting to, compromising or settling any such Claims, conducting negotiations with Purchaser, the Blockers or the Fairway Group Companies (after the Closing) and their respective representatives regarding such Claims, and, in connection therewith, to (A) assert or institute any Claim; (B) investigate, defend, contest or litigate any Claim (other than a Claim that solely alleges a breach of a representation or warranty or a covenant by a single Seller other than the Representative) initiated by Purchaser, the Blockers or the Fairway Group Companies (after the Closing) or any other Person, or by any federal, state or local Governmental Authority against the Representative and/or any of the Sellers and/or the Escrow Funds, and receive process on behalf of any or all Sellers in any such Claim and compromise or settle on such terms as the Representative shall determine to be appropriate, and give receipts, releases and discharges with respect to, any such Claim; (C) file any proofs of debt, claims and petitions as the Representative may deem advisable or necessary; (D) settle or compromise any claims asserted under the Escrow Agreement; and (E) file and prosecute appeals from any decision, judgment or award rendered in any such action, proceeding or investigation, it being understood that the Representative shall not have any obligation to take any such actions, and shall not have any liability for any failure to take any such actions; (v) to waive or refrain from enforcing any right of the Sellers or any of them and/or the Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document in connection with the foregoing; provided, that no such failure to act on the part of the Representative, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Escrow Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any such right or interest by the

Representative or by the Sellers unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving party or by the Representative; and (vi) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, unit powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the Transaction; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Claim that seeks any relief against or results in any liability against a Seller, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, or equityholders (but, for the avoidance of doubt, specifically excluding any Claim that limits relief to the Escrow Fund), the prior consent of such Seller shall be required in respect of the settlement or compromise of such Claim by the Representative. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Representative will allocate the Closing Cash of the Blockers (if any) solely for the benefit of the applicable Blocker Seller (whether pursuant to Section 1.3(a) or otherwise).

(b) The Representative shall not be entitled to any fee, commission or other compensation for the performance of its services hereunder, but shall be entitled to the payment of all its out-of-pocket expenses incurred as the Representative. In connection with the foregoing, at the Closing, an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 (the “Representative Expense Fund”) shall be transferred by or on behalf of the Company to the Representative, to be used by the Representative to pay expenses incurred by the Representative in its capacity as the Representative. Once the Representative determines, in its sole discretion, that the Representative will not incur any additional expenses in its capacity as the Representative, then the Representative will distribute the remaining unused Representative Expense Fund, if any, to the Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages. If, however, the Representative incurs expenses, in its capacity as the Representative, in an amount exceeding the Representative Expense Fund, then any funds released to the Representative, in its capacity as the Representative, from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 1.4(e), shall be used to reimburse the Representative for the difference between the total expenses incurred by the Representative and the Representative Expense Fund. In connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any instrument, agreement or document relating hereto or thereto, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Representative hereunder (i) the Representative shall incur no responsibility whatsoever to any of the Sellers by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or in connection with the Escrow Agreement or any such other agreement, instrument or document, excepting only responsibility for any act or failure to act which represents willful misconduct, (ii) the Representative shall not be liable to Sellers for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by the Representative in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Seller to whom payment was due, but not made or not made in full, shall be to recover from the other Sellers any payment in excess of the amount to which such Seller is determined to have been entitled, and (iii) the Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Representative pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Representative to liability to any of the Sellers. Each Seller shall indemnify, on a pro rata basis (based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage), the

Representative against all Losses (including any and all expense whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened or any claims whatsoever), arising out of or in connection with any claim, investigation, challenge, action or proceeding or in connection with any appeal thereof, relating to the acts or omissions of the Representative hereunder, or under the Escrow Agreement or otherwise. The foregoing indemnification shall not apply in the event of any action or proceeding which finally adjudicates the liability of the Representative hereunder for its willful misconduct. In the event of any indemnification hereunder, upon written notice from the Representative to the Sellers as to the existence of a deficiency toward the payment of any such indemnification amount, each Seller shall promptly deliver to the Representative full payment of his, her or its ratable share of the amount of such deficiency (based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage).

(c) All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date. Purchaser shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Representative pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Sellers. The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survives the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any of the Sellers and (ii) shall survive the Closing. Any amounts received by the Representative on account of all Sellers, whether pursuant to Section 1.3, the Escrow Agreement or otherwise, shall be distributed to the Sellers, net of any reserve the Representative may deem necessary in its reasonable discretion, on a pro rata basis (based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage).

(d) Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Representative that is expressly within the scope of the Representative’s authority under this Section 10.14 shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Seller; and Purchaser shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Seller. Purchaser is hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by Purchaser in accordance with such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the Representative.

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Representative shall have no liability to, and shall not be liable for any Losses of, any party hereto in connection with any obligations of the Representative under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or the Transaction, except to the extent that any act or omission by the Representative is found by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted fraud or willful misconduct.

(f) The Representative shall have the right to resign, and the Sellers shall choose the successor representative by affirmative vote of the Sellers who hold a majority of the voting power of the Company based on their Pro Rata Percentage. Following such resignation, any reference to the Representative herein shall be deemed to include such successor representative and prompt written notice thereof shall be delivered to Purchaser.

10.15 Provisions Respecting Legal Representation.

(a) It is acknowledged by each of the Parties, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective managers, directors, equityholders, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that the Fairway Group Companies, the Blockers and the Sellers have retained Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP (and its affiliated entity Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx International LLP) (collectively, the “Retained Counsel”) to act as their counsel in connection with the Transactions and that the Retained Counsel has not acted as counsel for any other Party in connection with the Transactions and that none of the other Parties has the status of a client of the Retained Counsel for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Purchaser, the Blockers and the Company hereby agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective managers, directors, equityholders, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser, the Blockers and/or the Fairway Group Companies, on the one hand, and the Sellers and/or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, the Retained Counsel may represent the Sellers and/or their Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of the Sellers or their Affiliates may be directly adverse to Purchaser, the Blockers and/or the Fairway Group Companies, and even though the Retained Counsel may have represented the Blockers and/or the Fairway Group Companies in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for Purchaser, the Blockers and/or the Fairway Group Companies.

(b) Purchaser agrees that, after the Closing, neither Purchaser, nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will have any right to access or control any of the Retained Counsel’s records relating to or affecting the Transaction with respect to its representation of the Sellers, the Blockers and/or the Fairway Group Companies, which will be the property of (and be controlled by) the Sellers. In addition, Purchaser agrees that it would be impractical to remove all Attorney-Client Communications from the records (including e-mails and other electronic files) of the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies. Accordingly, Purchaser will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including, after Closing, the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies) not to, use any Attorney-Client Communication remaining in the records of the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies after Closing in a manner that may be adverse to the Sellers or any of the Sellers’ Affiliates. Purchaser agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including, after Closing, the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies), that from and after Closing (i) the attorney-client privilege, all other evidentiary privileges, and the expectation of client confidence as to all Attorney-Client

Communications belong to the Sellers and will not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or its Affiliates or the Blockers or the Fairway Group Companies, and (ii) the Sellers will have the exclusive right to control, assert or waive the attorney-client privilege, any other evidentiary privilege, and the expectation of client confidence with respect to such Attorney-Client Communications. Accordingly, Purchaser will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including, after Closing, the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies) not to, (x) assert any attorney-client privilege, other evidentiary privilege, or expectation of client confidence with respect to any Attorney-Client Communication, except in the event of a post-Closing dispute with a Person that is not the Sellers or an Affiliate of the Sellers; or (y) take any action which could cause any Attorney-Client Communication to cease being a confidential communication or to otherwise lose protection under the attorney-client privilege or any other evidentiary privilege, including waiving such protection in any dispute with a Person that is not the Sellers or an Affiliate of the Sellers.

10.16 Release.

(a) Effective upon the Closing, Purchaser and, from and after the Closing, the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies and, in each case, each of their respective partners, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents, representatives, successors and assigns and the partners, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents, representatives, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Purchaser Parties”) hereby waives and releases any claims that the Purchaser Parties currently have or, in the future, may have against any of the Sellers or any past, present or future equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, agent, attorney, Affiliate, member, manager, general or limited partners, stockholder, investor or assignee of any Seller, or any past, present or future equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, agent, attorney, Affiliate, member, manager, general or limited partners, stockholder, investor or assignee of any of the foregoing (the “Seller Parties”), for any of such Person’s actions or omissions prior to the Closing, or otherwise in relation to or arising from the Blockers or the Fairway Group Companies and their respective pre-Closing businesses, operations and properties; provided, however, that, regardless of the foregoing, the Seller Parties shall not be released from any claim (i) based on Fraud, (ii) under or arising out of any post-Closing obligations of any Seller as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other agreement contemplated herein or (iii) under or arising out of any Contract entered into between the Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties after the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. Purchaser hereby acknowledges the release by the Purchaser Parties set forth in the preceding sentence and covenants and agrees that it will honor such release and will not, and will cause the Blockers and the Fairway Group Companies not to, take any action inconsistent therewith (including commencing any Legal Proceeding with respect to, or directly or indirectly transferring to another Person, any released claims).

(b) Effective upon the Closing, each Seller and each of their respective partners, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents, representatives, successors and assigns and the partners, members, Affiliates, directors, manager, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents, representatives, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Seller Group Persons”) hereby waives and releases any claims that the Seller Group Persons currently have or, in the future, may have against any of the Company or any past, present or future equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, agent, attorney, Affiliate, member, manager, general or limited partners, stockholder, investor or assignee of the Company, or any past, present or future equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, agent, attorney, Affiliate, member, manager, general or limited partners, stockholder, investor or assignee of any of the foregoing (the “Company Persons”), in relation to such Seller Member’s capacity as an equity holder of the Company; provided, however, that, regardless of the foregoing, the Seller Group Persons shall not release any claim (i) based on Fraud, (ii) under or arising out of any post-Closing obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other agreement contemplated herein or (iii) under or arising out of any Contract entered into among the Seller Group Persons at or after the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. Each Seller hereby acknowledges the release by the Seller Group Persons set forth in the preceding sentence and covenants and agrees that it will honor such release and will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, take any action inconsistent therewith (including commencing any Legal Proceeding with respect to, or directly or indirectly transferring to another Person, any released claims).

10.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including e-mail), each of which shall be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. Such delivery of counterparts shall be conclusive evidence of the intent to be bound hereby and to the extent applicable, the foregoing constitutes the election of the parties hereto to invoke any Law authorizing electronic signatures.

ARTICLE XI

DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS
