The issuance of the NBEV Restricted Shares by Buyer at the Closing has been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered by Buyer as provided in this Agreement, the NBEV Restricted Shares will be validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free of any Encumbrances aside from the normal Rule 144 restrictions. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 4, the issuance of the NBEV Restricted Shares at the Closing will be exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

SECTION 5.8 Brokers’ Fees. No broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee or other commission or payment in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on arrangements made by Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

No representation or warranty by Buyer in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, nor any statement or certificate furnished or to be furnished to Seller pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the transactions contemplated this Agreement, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

SECTION 5.10 Disclosure of Agreements. The agreements and documents described in the SEC Filings conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained or incorporated by reference therein, and there are no agreements or other documents required by the Securities Act to be described in the SEC Filings, that have not been so described or filed or incorporated by reference. Each agreement or other instrument (however characterized or described) to which Buyer is a party or by which it is or may be bound or affected and (i) that is referred to or incorporated by reference in the SEC Filings, or (ii) is material to Buyer’s business, has been duly authorized and validly executed by Buyer, is in full force and effect in all material respects and is enforceable against Buyer and, to Buyer’s knowledge, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, except (x) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (y) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws, and (z) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. None of such agreements or instruments has been assigned by Buyer, and neither Buyer nor, to Buyer’s knowledge, any other party is in default thereunder and, to Buyer’s knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. To the best of Buyer’s knowledge, performance by Buyer of the material provisions of such agreements or instruments will not result in a violation of any existing applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any governmental agency or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Buyer or any of its assets or businesses (each, a “Governmental Entity”), including, without limitation, those relating to environmental laws and regulations.

SECTION 5.11 Prior Securities Transactions. No securities of Buyer have been sold by Buyer or by or on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any person or persons controlling, controlled by or under common control with Buyer, except as disclosed in the SEC Filings.

SECTION 5.13 Financial Statements, etc. The financial statements, including the notes thereto and supporting schedules included or incorporated by reference in the SEC Filings, fairly present the financial position and the results of operations of Buyer at the dates and for the periods to which they apply; and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied throughout the periods involved (provided that unaudited interim financial statements are subject to year-end audit adjustments that are not expected to be material in the aggregate and do not contain all footnotes required by GAAP); and the supporting schedules included in the Registration Statement present fairly the information required to be stated therein. The pro forma and pro forma as adjusted financial information and the related notes, if any, included or incorporated by reference in the SEC Filings have been properly compiled and prepared in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and present fairly the information shown therein, and the assumptions used in the preparation thereof are reasonable and the adjustments used therein are appropriate to give effect to the transactions and circumstances referred to therein. Each of the SEC Filings discloses all material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), and other relationships of Buyer with unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have a material current or future effect on Buyer’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenues or expenses. Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings, (a) neither Buyer nor any of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including each entity disclosed or described in the SEC Filings as being a subsidiary of Buyer (each, a “Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), has incurred any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, or entered into any material transactions other than in the ordinary course of business, (b) Buyer has not declared or paid any dividends or made any distribution of any kind with respect to its capital stock, (c) there has not been any change in the capital stock of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, or, other than in the course of business, any grants under any stock compensation plan, and (d) there has not been any material adverse change in Buyer’s long-term or short-term debt.

SECTION 5.14 Outstanding Securities. All issued and outstanding securities of Buyer issued prior to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; the holders thereof have no rights of rescission with respect thereto, and are not subject to personal liability by reason of being such holders; and none of such securities were issued in violation of the preemptive rights of any holders of any security of Buyer or similar contractual rights granted by Buyer.

SECTION 5.15 Registration Rights of Third Parties. Except as set forth in the SEC Filings, no holders of any securities of Buyer or any rights exercisable for or convertible or exchangeable into securities of Buyer have the right to require Buyer to register any such securities of Buyer under the Securities Act or to include any such securities in a registration statement to be filed by Buyer.

SECTION 5.16 No Defaults; Violations. No material default exists in the due performance and observance of any term, covenant or condition of any material license, contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note, loan or credit agreement, or any other agreement or instrument evidencing an obligation for borrowed money, or any other material agreement or instrument to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer may be bound or to which any of the properties or assets of Buyer is subject.

SECTION 5.19 Insurance. Buyer carries or is entitled to the benefits of insurance, with reputable insurers, in such amounts and covering such risks which Buyer believes are adequate, and all such insurance is in full force and effect. Buyer has no reason to believe that it will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not result in a material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of Buyer.

SECTION 5.20 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. None of Buyer and its Subsidiaries or, to Buyer’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of Buyer and its Subsidiaries or any other person acting on behalf of Buyer and its Subsidiaries, has, directly or indirectly, given or agreed to give any money, gift or similar benefit (other than legal price concessions to customers in the ordinary course of business) to any customer, supplier, employee or agent of a customer or supplier, or official or employee of any governmental agency or instrumentality of any government (domestic or foreign) or any political party or candidate for office (domestic or foreign) or other person who was, is, or may be in a position to help or hinder the business of Buyer (or assist it in connection with any actual or proposed transaction) that (i) might subject Buyer to any damage or penalty in any civil, criminal or governmental litigation or proceeding, (ii) if not given in the past, might have had a material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of Buyer or (iii) if not continued in the future, might adversely affect the assets, business, operations or prospects of Buyer. Buyer has taken reasonable steps to ensure that its accounting controls and procedures are sufficient to cause Buyer to comply in all material respects with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

SECTION 5.21 Compliance with OFAC. None of Buyer and its Subsidiaries or, to Buyer’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of Buyer and its Subsidiaries or any other person acting on behalf of Buyer and its Subsidiaries, is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”), and Buyer will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the Offering hereunder, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

SECTION 5.22 Related Party Transactions. There are no business relationships or related party transactions involving Buyer or any other person required to be described or incorporated by reference in the SEC Filings that have not been described or incorporated by reference as required.

SECTION 5.23 Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Compliance.

(a) Disclosure Controls. Buyer has developed and currently maintains disclosure controls and procedures that comply with Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, and such controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information concerning Buyer will be made known on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of Buyer’s Exchange Act filings and other public disclosure documents.

(b) Compliance. Buyer is in material compliance with the provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act applicable to it, and has implemented or will implement such programs and taken reasonable steps to ensure Buyer’s future compliance (not later than the relevant statutory and regulatory deadlines therefor) with all of the material provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act.

SECTION 5.24 Accounting Controls. Buyer and its Subsidiaries maintain systems of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined under Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act and have been designed by, or under the supervision of, their respective principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including, but not limited to, internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings, Buyer is not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal controls. Buyer’s auditors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Buyer have been advised of: (i) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are known to Buyer’s management and that have adversely affected or are reasonably likely to adversely affect Buyer’ ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and (ii) any fraud known to Buyer’s management, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Buyer’s internal controls over financial reporting.

SECTION 5.25 No Labor Disputes. No labor dispute with the employees of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries exists or, to the knowledge of Buyer, is imminent.

SECTION 5.26 Confidentiality and Non-Competitions. To Buyer’s knowledge, no director, officer, key employee or consultant of Buyer is subject to any confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-competition agreement or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or prior employer that could materially affect his ability to be and act in his respective capacity of Buyer or be expected to result in a material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of Buyer.

SECTION 5.27 Capitalization. The description of Buyer’s securities and capitalization set forth under the heading “Description of Securities” in Buyer’s prospectus dated February 13, 2017 and filed with the SEC on February 14, 2017 is accurate.

SECTION 5.28 Subsidiaries. All direct and indirect Subsidiaries of Buyer are duly organized and in good standing under the laws of the place of organization or incorporation, and each Subsidiary is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of business requires such qualification, except where the failure to qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the assets, business or operations of Buyer taken as a whole. Buyer’s ownership and control of each Subsidiary is as described in the SEC Filings.

SECTION 5.29 Intellectual Property Rights. Buyer and each of its Subsidiaries owns or possesses or has valid rights to use all Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Rights necessary for the conduct of the business of Buyer and its Subsidiaries as currently carried on. To the knowledge of Buyer, no action or use by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries necessary for the conduct of its business as currently carried on will involve or give rise to any infringement of, or license or similar fees for, any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights of others. Neither Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice alleging any such infringement, fee or conflict with asserted Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights of others. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of Buyer (A) to the knowledge of Buyer, there is no infringement, misappropriation or violation by third parties of any of the Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights owned by Buyer; (B) there is no pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the rights of Buyer in or to any such Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights, and Buyer is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim, that would, individually or in the aggregate, together with any other claims in this Section 5.29, reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of Buyer; (C) the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Rights owned by Buyer and, to the knowledge of Buyer, the Intellectual Property Rights licensed to Buyer have not been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and there is no pending or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the validity or scope of any such Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights, and Buyer is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim that would, individually or in the aggregate, together with any other claims in this Section 5.29, reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of Buyer; (D) there is no pending or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that Buyer infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights of others, Buyer has not received any written notice of such claim and Buyer is unaware of any other facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim that would, individually or in the aggregate, together with any other claims in this Section 5.29, reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of Buyer; and (E) to Buyer’s knowledge, no employee of Buyer is in or has ever been in violation in any material respect of any term of any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement, invention assignment agreement, non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement, nondisclosure agreement or any restrictive covenant to or with a former employer where the basis of such violation relates to such employee’s employment with Buyer, or actions undertaken by the employee while employed with Buyer and could reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of Buyer. To Buyer’s knowledge, all material technical information developed by and belonging to Buyer which has not been patented has been kept confidential. None of the technology employed by Buyer has been obtained or is being used by Buyer in violation of any contractual obligation binding on Buyer or, to Buyer’s knowledge, any of its officers, directors or employees, or otherwise in violation of the rights of any persons.

SECTION 5.30 ERISA Compliance. Buyer and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under ERISA) established or maintained by Buyer or its ERISA Affiliates are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by Buyer or any of its ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by Buyer or any of its ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither Buyer nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any material liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by Buyer or any of its ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and, to the knowledge of Buyer, nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification

SECTION 5.31 Compliance with laws; permits. Buyer is not now, and has not since December 31, 2014, (a) been in material violation of any provision of any Legal Requirement or Order applicable to Buyer, its assets or its business, or (b) directly or indirectly made any payment of funds to any person, or received or retained any funds from any person in violation of any applicable Legal Requirement. Buyer has (i) all permits required to conduct its business as conducted by it as of the Effective Date; and (ii) satisfied all material bonding requirements pertaining to its operations under applicable Legal Requirements. Buyer is not in material violation of, nor is there a basis for the revocation or withdrawal of, any permit.

SECTION 5.32 Properties and Assets of Buyer. Buyer owns or otherwise has the right to use all of assets it uses in its business.

ARTICLE VI.

COVENANTS

SECTION 6.1 Public Announcements; Audit; Disclosure of Acquisition.

(a) Neither Seller nor Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without prior consultation with the other Party, except as may be required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to prepare a joint press release to be issued on the Closing Date, which press release shall be mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller.

(b) Following the Effective Date, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by the Buyer in connection with enabling Buyer to prepare financial statements in compliance with the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Exchange Act and enable Buyer’s accountants to audit such financial statements.

(c) Upon completion of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer shall file all necessary forms with all federal and state regulatory agencies to properly disclose the transaction, which shall include a Form 8-K that includes the audited financial statements described in Section 6.1(b). Buyer will furnish a copy of such Form 8-K to Seller for its review and approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at least three days prior to the due date for filing such Form 8-K. Buyer shall adopt all reasonable comments of the Seller with respect to such Form 8-K

SECTION 6.2 Cooperation.

(a) Further Assurances. Each of the Seller and Buyer agrees that in the event after the Closing Date any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each such Party will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as the other Party reasonably may request, without payment of further consideration.

(b) Pre-Closing Access to Books and Records. From the date hereof through the Closing, each Party (the “Subject Party”) shall (a) provide the other Party (the “Investigating Party”) and its representatives (including legal counsel and accountants) with reasonable access to such information as the Investigating Party may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the Subject Party’s business, and (b) upon reasonable notice during normal business hours and under reasonable circumstances in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of the Subject Party, provide the Investigating Party and its representatives (including legal counsel and accountants) with reasonable access to the premises, management, books, records, Contracts and documents of or pertaining to the Subject Party as the Investigating Party may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, (i) in no event will the Subject Party be required to furnish the Investigating Party or its representatives with any documents or information that the Subject Party is required by Legal Requirement, Order, or Contract to keep confidential, or that would reasonably be expected to jeopardize the status of such document or information as privileged, work product or as a trade secret, (ii) any such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Subject Party, and (iii) the Investigating Party shall not contact any customer, supplier, landlord or other material business relation of the Subject Party without the prior written approval of the Subject Party. All such information and access shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement executed by Buyer with respect to Seller.

(c) Post-Closing Access to Books and Records. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that subsequent to Closing each Party may need access to books, records, information or documents in the control or possession of the other Party for such purposes as preparing Tax Returns, responding to audits and the prosecution or defense of third-party claims. After the Closing, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by each other, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns related to the Business or the Purchased Assets and any audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to such Taxes. In that regard, Buyer and Seller shall maintain such Tax information, Tax records, documents and information relating to the Business and the Purchased Assets for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date and, upon reasonable written request, provide to such other Party such Tax information, Tax records, documents and information as are in the non-requesting Party’s possession or control and which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other Proceeding or any other proper business purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Party shall be obligated to provide any other Party with access to any books, records documents or other information (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) where such access (A) would violate any Legal Requirement, or (B) could undermine or otherwise jeopardize attorney-client privilege or result in a conflict of interest; and (ii) this Section 6.2(c) shall not apply in the event of any pending or threatened Proceeding among the Parties, the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties (in which case the applicable rules of discovery shall apply).

(d) Accordingly, each Party agrees that until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, to the extent permitted by Law, each Party will make reasonably available to the other Party upon reasonable written request and at the expense of the requesting Party such documents and information as are in the non-requesting Party’s possession or control relating to the Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities or the Business to the extent the requesting Party needs such books, records, information or documents for any proper business purpose, and, with respect to each Party, not adverse to the interests of the non-requesting Party.

SECTION 6.3 Payment of Taxes Resulting from Sale of Assets. Seller shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns for the Business due either before or after the Closing Date that cover periods ending on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall make all payments required with respect to any such Tax Returns. Buyer shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns for the Business due after the Closing Date that cover periods ending after the Closing Date. Buyer will make all payments required with respect to any such Tax Returns; provided, however, that Seller shall reimburse Buyer concurrently with the filing of such Tax Returns to the extent any payment Buyer makes relates to the operation of the Business by Seller for any period ending on or before the Closing Date.

SECTION 6.4 Allocation of Consideration. The consideration delivered by Buyer to Seller under Section 2.1, including the NBEV Shares, and the Assumed Liabilities that are treated as liabilities for federal income Tax purposes, shall be allocated in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (among the Purchased Assets as of the Closing Date for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) as set forth in a manner to be agreed by the parties prior to Closing). Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other in preparing IRS Form 8594 consistent with such allocation and shall not otherwise take a position on any Tax Return or in any proceeding that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required by a final and non-appealable determination of the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority.

SECTION 6.5 Post-Closing Matters. After the Closing, Seller will promptly refer to Buyer all inquiries and promptly after receipt thereof deliver to Buyer all correspondence, funds, checks and other items and materials relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets.

SECTION 6.6 Efforts to Close.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions and other agreements set forth in this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall (a) refrain from taking any actions that could reasonably be expected to impair, delay or impede the Closing, and (b) without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all the conditions to the obligations of the other party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be met as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall require Seller to agree to or execute any material changes to any Contracts, offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise), commence any Proceeding or make any payments to any third party in order to obtain third party consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except in the case where such material change shall only be effective upon the Closing and where such payments are expressly contemplated by a Contract between Seller and such third party.

(b) Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it will not enter into any public offering, merger, combination, divestiture, financing, joint venture, sale and/or acquisition agreement in whatever form, except for agreements in the ordinary course of business (including, without limitation, joint venture, sale license or distribution agreements) or enter into any other transaction that would preclude the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 6.7 Disclosure Schedule Updates/Corrections.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Seller may supplement and update the Disclosure Schedule to reflect any matter or information arising after the date of this Agreement which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Prior to the Closing, if the Seller becomes aware of any matter existing, occurring or known as of the date of this Agreement that was required to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedule, but that is not so set forth or described thereon, the Seller may amend the Disclosure Schedule to this Agreement in any manner which is necessary to correct any existing inaccuracy or incorrect or incomplete information in such Disclosure Schedule.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed by Buyer, no such supplement or amendment to the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to Section 6.7(a) or Section 6.7(b) shall be deemed to have modified the representations, warranties or covenants of the Seller herein for purposes of determining whether the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(b) have been satisfied, or shall affect whether a breach of such representations, warranties or covenants has occurred for purposes of determining Buyer’s rights to terminate this Agreement under Section 9.1(b)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Closing, any supplement to the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to Section 6.7(a) and any amendment pursuant to Section 6.7(b) shall be deemed to have modified the Disclosure Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller contained herein for all purposes, including any determination of the rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Article VII.

SECTION 6.8 Conduct of Business Prior to Closing. Except as contemplated by this Agreement or Legal Requirement, or as the other Party may otherwise consent to in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or as otherwise set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, from the date hereof through the Closing, each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to operate its business in all material respects in the ordinary course.

SECTION 6.9 No Right to Purchased Assets. From and after the Closing, Sellers shall not (a) have any right, license or other interest in or to any of the Purchased Assets, (b) use, access or possess any of the Purchased Assets or transfer, assign, license or grant any interest in or to any of the Purchased Assets to any Person or (c) permit or authorize any Person to use, access or possess any of the Purchased Assets.

SECTION 6.10 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, sales, use, stamp, recording, registration documentary, property, or similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) applicable to, imposed upon or arising out of the transfer of the Purchased Shares or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Buyer.

ARTICLE VII.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 7.1 Indemnification of Buyer Indemnified Parties. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses which any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties may suffer or for which any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties may become liable and which are based on, the result of, arise out of or are otherwise related to any of the following:

(a) any material inaccuracy or misrepresentation in, or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any certificate, schedule, list or other instrument to be furnished by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents;

(b) any breach or failure of Seller to perform any covenant or agreement required to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents after expiration of a reasonable cure period; and

(c) any claim, demand, suit, action or legal, administrative or other proceeding by any person (other than a party) or any federal, state or local department, agency or other governmental body (a “Third Party Claim”) against any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties resulting from, arising out of or in any way related to (i) the operation of the Business prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) the failure of Seller to perform, pay or discharge any Excluded Liability.

SECTION 7.2 Indemnification of Seller Indemnified Parties. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, officers, managers, members, employees, independent contractors, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses which any of the Seller Indemnified Parties may suffer or for which any of the Seller Indemnified Parties may become liable and which are based on, the result of, arise out of or are otherwise related to any of the following:

(a) any material inaccuracy or misrepresentation in, or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer in this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any certificate, schedule, list or other instrument to be furnished by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents;

(b) any breach or failure of Buyer to perform any covenant or agreement required to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents after expiration of a reasonable cure period; and

SECTION 7.3 Claims for Indemnification. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification under this Article VII, even if no payment is then due on account thereof, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall provide written notice (the “Notice”) to the party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim. In the event of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Notice within 30 days after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of its existence and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim in reasonable detail, but the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such Third Party Claim is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such Notice. In the event of any Third-Party Claim, the Notice shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless suit shall have been instituted against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such suit in accordance with Section 7.4 below.

SECTION 7.4 Defense by the Indemnifying Party. Within seven days after receipt of the Notice, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense, may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party timely assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim and, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof.

SECTION 7.6 Minimization of Indemnities. Each party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the indemnification obligations of the other parties under this Article VII by, among other reasonable things and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, taking such reasonable remedial action as it believes may minimize such obligation and seeking to the maximum extent possible reimbursement from insurance carriers under applicable insurance policies covering any such liability.

SECTION 12.3 Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule constitutes a part of this Agreement and is incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes as if fully set forth herein. Any disclosure made in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be a disclosure made with respect to all of Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, regardless of whether or not a specific cross-reference is made thereto to the extent that the relevance of any such disclosure in any other Section is reasonably apparent from the text of such disclosure in such Section of the Disclosure Schedule. The disclosure of any matter in the Disclosure Schedule is not to be deemed an admission by the Seller, or otherwise imply, that such matter is material for purposes of this Agreement, gives rise to a material adverse effect or is outside the ordinary course of business. Matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedule. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. All references in the Disclosure Schedule to the enforceability of agreements with third parties, the existence or non-existence of third-party rights, the absence of breaches or defaults by third parties, or similar matters or statements, are intended only to allocate rights and risks among the Parties and are not intended to be admissions against interests, give rise to any inference or proof of accuracy, be admissible against any Party by any Person who is not a Party, or give rise to any claim or benefit to any Person who is not a Party. In addition, the disclosure of any matter in the Disclosure Schedule is not to be deemed an admission that such matter actually constitutes noncompliance with, or a violation of any Legal Requirement, Order, license, permit or Contract or other topic to which such disclosure is applicable. The headings contained in the Disclosure Schedule are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to modify or influence the interpretation of the information contained in the Disclosure Schedule or this Agreement.

SECTION 12.4 Governing law; Arbitration. This Agreement will be governed by and any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, including but not limited to, any claim or controversy regarding the existence, validity, construction, interpretation, breach, termination or enforceability thereof, shall be determined by arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”), modified as follows: (i) the place of arbitration shall be Denver, Colorado; and (ii) the arbitration proceeding shall be conducted before a panel of three neutral arbitrators, one to be appointed by each party, and a third to be selected by the two arbitrators appointed by the parties and who shall serve as chairperson. If a party fails to nominate an arbitrator as provided herein, then JAMS shall appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the Rules. In the event that the two party-selected arbitrators should fail to agree upon the chairperson within a period of fourteen (14) days of the appointment of the last party-selected arbitrator, then, upon application of either party, the chairperson shall be named by JAMS in accordance with the Rules. The award of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered and enforced by any competent court. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16). The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding (including the hearing, all submissions, and any award) except as may be necessary in connection with a judicial application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

Without prejudice to the validity of the arbitration provisions set forth herein, the parties to this Agreement may resort to the competent judicial authority, if and when necessary, for the sole purposes of (i) enforcing obligations subject to judicial enforcement; (ii) obtaining injunctive relief or precautionary measures as guarantee for the efficacy of the arbitration proceedings; and (iii) obtaining mandatory and specific enforcement or specific performance measures, it being certain that, after achievement of the mandatory procedure, specific enforcement or specific performance, the arbitral tribunal to be constituted shall be granted full and exclusive authority to decide over any and all matters, whether of a procedural nature or on the merits, which have given rise to the mandatory claim or specific enforcement. The filing of any measures under the terms set out in this clause shall not imply any waiver of the arbitration clause set forth herein or of the full jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal.

SECTION 12.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibits, the Disclosure Schedule and the other Transaction Documents together constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any previous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such matters.

SECTION 12.6 Assignment and Successors. Neither Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party. This Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.

SECTION 12.7 No Third-Party Rights This Agreement is being entered into solely for the benefit of the Parties, the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, and, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Parties do not intend that any other Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of the covenants by either the Seller or the Buyer contained in this Agreement.

SECTION 12.8 Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, cancelled, renewed or extended, and the terms and conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by each of the Parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the Party waiving compliance. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

SECTION 12.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same instrument, and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by .pdf attachment to a transmission by electronic mail or by facsimile transmission shall each be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart hereof.

SECTION 12.10 Severability. In the event any provision, or portion thereof, of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such portion or provision will be deemed to be severable as to such jurisdiction (but, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, not elsewhere) and will not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which will continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision will be interpreted to be only as broad as is necessary for it to be enforceable.

SECTION 12.11 Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that, if any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other document contemplated by this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and, therefore, the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and thereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

FORM OF SELLER NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT

THIS NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 23, 2017, by ____________________ (the “Covenantor”) in favor of New Age Beverages Corporation, a Washington corporation (“Buyer”).

RECITALS:

A. The Covenantor is an affiliate of PMC Holdings, Inc. and/or Premier Micronutrient Corporation (collectively, the “Sellers”), and Sellers and Buyer are parties to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 18, 2017 herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Buyer purchased certain assets from Sellers (the “Acquisition”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein, shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

B. The Covenantor has agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement in connection with the Acquisition.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Covenantor agrees as follows:

Covenantor covenants, warrants and agrees, for the benefit of buyer, that without first obtaining buyer’s consent, Covenantor shall not, from the date of this agreement until the third anniversary of the date of this agreement (the “covenant period”) compete with buyer in the restricted business anywhere within the united states. As used in this agreement, “restricted business” means the business of micronutrient based ready to drink products as conducted by Covenantor prior to the closing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this agreement shall restrict Covenantor or his affiliates from (i) investing in buyer or investing in any other publicly-held corporation engaged in the restricted business, if Covenantor’s aggregate investment does not exceed 5% in value of the issued and outstanding capital stock of such corporation.

The Covenantor covenants, warrants and agrees, for the benefit of the buyer, that without first obtaining buyer’s consent, the Covenantor shall not during the covenant period, disclose any confidential information to any third party. As used in this agreement, the term “confidential information” means any and all confidential or proprietary information directly related to the buyer, seller, seller’s business as conducted prior to the closing, the purchased assets or the assumed liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any information that: (a) prior to the date of this agreement was generally publicly available, or (b) after the date of this agreement, (i) becomes publicly available without fault of or action on the part of Covenantor, or (ii) is acquired by the Covenantor from a third party, free of any restrictions as to its disclosure, or (iii) is independently developed by Covenantor without use of any confidential information, shall not be deemed to be confidential information. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Covenantor may make disclosures required by any legal requirement.

3.	The parties acknowledge that the remedy at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants set forth in this agreement may be inadequate. The parties covenant and agree that in the event of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in this agreement, in addition to any and all legal and equitable remedies immediately available, buyer may seek to have such covenants enforced by a temporary and/or permanent injunction in an action in equity.

4.	This agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable by any party without the prior written consent of the other party. This agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of Covenantor and buyer and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

5.	This agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Colorado without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof. Any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to this agreement shall be addressed and adjudicated in and any judgment shall be enforced by and in the state courts located in the state of Colorado or the federal court located in the state of Colorado (collectively “the courts”). Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (a) consents to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts with respect to any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating in any way to this agreement; (b) waives any defense of lack of personal jurisdiction in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating in any way to this agreement that is filed or pending in the courts; (c) waives any objection to and will not challenge the venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating in any way to this agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the courts; (d) agrees that each of the courts is a convenient and proper forum for any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating in any way to this agreement; and (e) waives any right to and will not seek to transfer (by filing a motion to transfer, a motion to dismiss or any other motion) any action, suit or proceeding in the courts to any other forum or court for any reason.

6.	This agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Facsimile or photostatic copies of signatures to this agreement shall be deemed to be originals and may be relied on to the same extent as the originals.
