Capital Contribution, Partnership interest and stock PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION AND PARTNERSHIP INTEREST AND STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, this “Agreement”) is entered into and dated effective as of December 1, 2018 by and among Apio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Yucatan Foods, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Yucatan”), Camden Fruit Corp., a California corporation (“Camden”), each Equityholder (as defined herein), Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, in his capacity as the representative of the Equityholders (the “Equityholders’ Representative”), and Landec Corporation, a Delaware corporation, parent company of Buyer, in its capacity as Guarantor pursuant to Section 13.15 (“Guarantor” or “Landec”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to make a capital contribution to Yucatan in exchange for a number of limited partnership interests in Yucatan determined by the relative value of Buyer’s capital contribution and the value of Yucatan immediately prior to Buyer’s capital contribution.

WHEREAS, the limited partners of Yucatan immediately prior to this Agreement other than Camden (the “Transferring Limited Partners”) collectively desire to sell convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from the Transferring Limited Partners, all of the issued and outstanding limited partnership interests of Yucatan held by the Transferring Limited Partners (the “Transferred LP Interests”).

WHEREAS, the stockholders of Camden set forth on the signature pages hereto (the “Camden Stockholders”; collectively with the Limited Partners, the “Equityholders”) desire to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from the Camden Stockholders, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Camden (the “Camden Shares”; collectively with the Transferred LP Interests, the “Transferred Securities”).

WHEREAS, the Governing Board of each of Yucatan, Camden and Buyer has (i) declared that the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair, advisable and in the best interests of their respective companies and equityholders and (ii) approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

WHEREAS, before or concurrently with the Closing, Buyer, the Equityholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent will enter into a Stock Escrow Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C (the “Stock Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which the Escrow Agent will hold a portion of the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration otherwise payable to the Equityholders under this Agreement for (i) security against the indemnification obligations of the Equityholders under this Agreement and (ii) price adjustments based on the Adjustment Amount, if any.

ACCORDINGLY, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants, representations and warranties set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 2 The Acquisition

Section 2.01 The Acquisition. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing:

(a) Buyer shall make a capital contribution to Yucatan equal to the amount of the Closing Indebtedness and Transaction Costs set forth on the Closing Statement in exchange for a number of limited partnership interests in Yucatan determined by the relative value of Buyer’s capital contribution and the value of Yucatan immediately prior to Buyer’s capital contribution (the “Capital Contribution”); and

(b) the Equityholders holding Transferred Securities shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from such Equityholders for the consideration set forth in Section 2.03, all legal and beneficial right, title and interest in and to all Transferred Securities free and clear of all Liens, and, as a result of such transactions Buyer will own all of the Transferred Securities, and Yucatan and Camden will each be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Buyer (such transactions in (a) and (b) being referred to herein, collectively, as the “Acquisition”).

Section 2.02 Closing.

(a) The closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of The Xxxxxxxxx Group, LLP, 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or remotely by the exchange of documents and signatures (or their electronic counterparts), of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered at the Closing, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement.

(b) At the Closing, the Capital Contribution shall occur first, and the sale of the Transferred Securities shall occur second.

Section 2.03 Aggregate Acquisition Consideration. The aggregate consideration for the sale of the Transferred Securities shall be an amount equal to the Cash Consideration plus the Stock Consideration. The aggregate consideration for the Acquisition shall be an amount equal to the Cash Consideration plus the Stock Consideration plus the Capital Contribution (collectively, the “Aggregate Acquisition Consideration”). For purposes hereof, the “Cash Consideration” shall be an amount equal to (a) $60,000,000 plus (b) Closing Net Working Capital (which may be a positive or negative amount and as subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.06 below) minus (c) Closing Indebtedness and minus (d) Transaction Costs; provided, however, to the extent any portion of the Cash Consideration would be distributable to the Camden Stockholders, whether at Closing and/or in the form of Adjustment Consideration, such portion shall instead be payable in the form of Stock Consideration, such that the Camden Stockholders do not receive any portion of the Cash Consideration in respect of (i) the LP Interest held by Camden, (ii) the GP Interest held by Camden or (iii) the Camden Shares being conveyed by the Camden Stockholders.

Section 2.04 Payment of the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver or disburse, or cause to be delivered or disbursed, the following consideration:

(a) To each Preferred Limited Partner, the portion of the Cash Consideration as set forth in the Closing Statement and on Exhibit B-1 attached hereto (as to each Preferred Limited Partner, such Preferred Limited Partner’s “Preferred Payout”).

(b) To the applicable Persons and account(s) designated in the Closing Statement (on behalf of Yucatan, Camden and/or Equityholders, as applicable), the applicable amounts of Closing Indebtedness existing as of the Closing Date (to the extent not paid by the Company Parties before the Closing) in order to discharge the amounts payable thereunder.

(c) To the applicable Persons and account(s) designated in the Closing Statement (on behalf of Yucatan, Camden and/or Equityholders, as applicable), the applicable amounts of Transaction Costs existing on the Closing Date (to the extent not paid by Yucatan or Camden before the Closing) in order to discharge the amounts payable thereunder.

(d) To the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Stock Escrow Agreement, all of the Stock Consideration payable at the Closing which shall be allocated to the following: (i) the Adjustment Escrow, which Adjustment Escrow shall consist of $5,000,000 worth of Stock Consideration to be held by the Escrow Agent, in trust, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Stock Escrow Agreement as the sole and exclusive source of recovery for price adjustments based on the Adjustment Amount, if any (such stock held pursuant to clause (i), the “Adjustment Escrow”), and (ii) the Indemnification Escrow, which Indemnification Escrow shall consist of the balance of the Stock Consideration with a value of $14,360,924 as of the Closing Date, to be held by the Escrow Agent, in trust, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Stock Escrow Agreement for security against the indemnification obligations of the Equityholders under this Agreement (such stock held pursuant to clause (ii), the “Indemnification Escrow”).

Each Camden Stockholder shall be deemed to have contributed to the escrows established under the Stock Escrow Agreement, that portion of the Stock Consideration that would otherwise have been payable to such Camden Stockholder, as set forth on the Closing Statement and on Exhibit B-1 attached hereto (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall take into account any Cash Consideration converted into Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 2.03).

Section 2.05 Closing Statement. Yucatan has delivered to Buyer a statement (the “Closing Statement”), executed on Yucatan’s behalf by Yucatan’s Chief Financial Officer, setting forth (i) Yucatan’s good-faith estimate of Closing Indebtedness, Transaction Costs and Closing Net Working Capital and (ii) the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration using the amounts set forth in the preceding clause (i) (the “Estimated Aggregate Acquisition Consideration”). Yucatan shall provide all supporting documentation reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s review of the Closing Statement, including (i) payoff letters with respect to the Specified Closing Indebtedness to be provided by the administrative agent, if applicable, or lenders or creditors in respect thereof, dated within a reasonable time before the Closing Date, which shall, in each case, (x) set forth the aggregate amounts arising under or owing or payable thereunder and in connection therewith on the Closing Date and (y) acknowledge and agree that, upon payment of such aggregate amounts on the Closing Date, the applicable Company Party shall have paid in full all amounts arising under or owing or payable on the Closing Date thereunder and in connection therewith, all Liens related to such Specified Closing Indebtedness shall be released, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, (ii) invoices with respect to the Transaction Costs in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and (iii) wire transfer details for holders of Closing Indebtedness and Service Providers to any Company Party comprising Transaction Costs to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Sections 2.04(b) and (c).

Section 2.06 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to the Equityholders’ Representative, executed on Buyer’s behalf by an officer of Buyer, (i) a statement setting forth Buyer’s good-faith calculation of Closing Indebtedness, Transaction Costs, Closing Net Working Capital and (ii) using the amounts set forth in the preceding clause (i), Buyer’s good-faith calculation of the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration and the Proposed Adjustment Amount (the “Post-Closing Statement”), together with such detail and supporting documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Equityholders’ Representative. The “Proposed Adjustment Amount” means an amount (which may be a positive or negative number) equal to Buyer’s determination of the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration as set forth on the Post-Closing Statement delivered pursuant to this Section 2.06 minus the Estimated Aggregate Acquisition Consideration as set forth in the Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.05.

(b) During the sixty (60) days following the Equityholders’ receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, and during any period of dispute in accordance with this Section 2.06, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company Parties to, (i) provide the Equityholders’ Representative and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records (including work papers) of the Company Parties and their accountants and their representatives used in the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement, (ii) reasonably cooperate with the Equityholders’ Representative and its representatives in connection with such review, including providing on a timely basis all other information in connection with such review as is reasonably requested by the Equityholders’ Representative or its representatives, and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its accountants, representatives and employees to timely and reasonably cooperate with the Equityholders’ Representative and its representatives in connection with such review. If the Equityholders’ Representative has any objections to the Post-Closing Statement, then the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (an “Objections Statement”) setting forth each item that the Equityholders’ Representative disputes (including the specific adjustments that the Equityholders’ Representative proposes to be made to the Post-Closing Statement taking into account the information then available to the Equityholders’ Representative). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Buyer within sixty (60) days following the Equityholders’ Representative’s receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, or if the Equityholders’ Representative delivers, before the expiration of such 60-day period, written notice to Buyer that it has no objections to the Post-Closing Statement, then the Post-Closing Statement shall be final and binding on, and non-appealable by, the parties. Any matters and amounts not raised in the Objections Statement shall be deemed to be final and binding on, and non-appealable by, the parties.

(c) If a timely Objections Statement is received by Buyer, then the Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the objections raised therein. If Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative are unable to reach a final resolution of all of such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement to Buyer (or such longer period as the Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer may agree in writing), then the Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer shall submit any and all matters and amounts (but only such matters and amounts) that were included in the Objections Statement and remain in dispute (the “Disputed Matters”) to KPMG US LLP, or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act or if such firm has been engaged by any of the parties from or after the date hereof and is thus no longer “independent”, another nationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative (the “Accountant”), for the purpose of resolving the Disputed Matters.

(d) Each of Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to submit (with a copy to the other party) to the Accountant such documents and materials and to make such presentations and arguments as such party shall deem necessary or appropriate; provided that the parties agree that neither party shall have any ex parte communications with the Accountant. The Accountant (i) shall consider only the Disputed Matters, (ii) shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the definitions of Aggregate Acquisition Consideration, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Transaction Costs, Closing Net Working Capital and the terms of this Section 2.06, (iii) shall only consider the documents, materials, presentations and arguments made by Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative (i.e., shall not engage in any independent review) and (iv) shall not assign any value with respect to a Disputed Matter that is greater than the highest value for such Disputed Matter claimed by Buyer (in the Post-Closing Statement) or the Equityholders’ Representative (in the Objections Statement), or less than the lowest value for such Disputed Matter claimed by Buyer (in the Post-Closing Statement) or the Equityholders’ Representative (in the Objections Statement). The Accountant shall deliver to Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth its resolution of the Disputed Matters and its calculation of the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration. Such report shall be final and binding upon, and non-appealable by, the parties.

(e) The costs and expenses of the Accountant shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Equityholders, on the other hand, based upon a fraction, the numerator of which is the portion of the aggregate contested amount not awarded to the applicable party and the denominator of which is the aggregate contested amount. For example, if the Equityholders’ Representative claims that Closing Net Working Capital is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Buyer, and Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Equityholders’ Representative, and if the Accountant ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Equityholders $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Accountant shall be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to Buyer and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Equityholders.

(f) From the Closing through the delivery of the Post-Closing Statement, Buyer and the Company Parties shall not take any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to any items affecting the calculation of the Proposed Adjustment Amount, other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice of the Company Parties.

(g) In the event that Camden’s negative capital account in Yucatan (determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b) without taking into account any revaluation of assets pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) exceeds negative $10,000,000, then the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of such difference. By way of example only, if Camden’s capital account in Yucatan is negative $11,000,000, the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration would be reduced by $250,000. Buyer shall have the right to recover the absolute value of the reduction in the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration under this Section 2.06(g) from the Adjustment Escrow and the Equityholders’ Representative and the Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to release the Stock Consideration corresponding thereto to Buyer. If the Adjustment Escrow has been exhausted or terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, the Buyer may recover the absolute value of such reduction pursuant to the indemnity provided for in Section 12.02(g).

Section 2.07 Post-Closing Payment.

(a) If there is Adjustment Consideration, then (i) Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Adjustment Consideration under Section 2.06, issue additional Stock Consideration to the Camden Stockholders in an amount corresponding to the value of the Adjustment Consideration, apportioned among them based on their respective Camden Pro Rata Percentages, and (ii) Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall promptly direct the Escrow Agent to release the Adjustment Escrow to the Camden Stockholders, apportioned among them based on their respective Camden Pro Rata Percentages.

(b) If the Adjustment Amount as finally determined under Section 2.06 is a negative number, then Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive recourse, recover the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount from the Adjustment Escrow, and Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to release the Stock Consideration corresponding thereto to Buyer, with any Adjustment Amount in excess of the Adjustment Escrow resulting in the full release of the Adjustment Escrow to Buyer.

(c) If a portion of the Adjustment Escrow remains after any deduction of the Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.07(b), then Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall promptly direct the Escrow Agent to release the balance of the Adjustment Escrow to the Camden Stockholders, apportioned among them based on their respective Camden Pro Rata Percentages.

(d) As used herein:

(i) “Adjustment Amount” means an amount (which may be positive or negative) equal to (i) the Final Aggregate Acquisition Consideration less (ii) the Estimated Aggregate Acquisition Consideration.

(ii) “Final Aggregate Acquisition Consideration” means the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration (A) as shown in Buyer’s calculation set forth in the Post-Closing Statement if no Objections Statement is timely delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or (B) if an Objections Statement is timely delivered, (1) as agreed by Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative or (2) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Accountant’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(d); provided that, unless otherwise agreed in writing between Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative, in no event shall the Final Aggregate Acquisition Consideration be less than Buyer’s calculation of the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration set forth in the Post-Closing Statement or more than the Equityholders’ Representative’s calculation of the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration set forth in the Objections Statement.

Section 2.08 Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of Yucatan, Camden, Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Applicable Law, the amount of which, if any, shall be as set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto. Any amounts so deducted and withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by Yucatan, Camden, Buyer or Equityholders’ Representative, as the case may be, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in the form of cash if relating to the Transferred LP Interests, or in the form of Stock Consideration if relating to the Camden Shares, as the case may be, in respect of which Camden, Yucatan, Buyer or Equityholders’ Representative, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.09 Relationship Among Equityholders.

(a) Each Equityholder hereby irrevocably appoints Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx as the Equityholders’ Representative of such Equityholder to act as the agent, and on behalf of such Equityholder for all purposes under this Agreement, including for the purposes of: (i) delivery of wire instructions of such Equityholder to Buyer in connection with the payments hereunder to Equityholders; (ii) review and negotiation of the Post-Closing Statement; (iii) delivering any consideration payable to or from the Equityholders hereunder; (iv) supervising the Closing, including waiving any condition to Closing if the Equityholders’ Representative, in its sole discretion, determines that such waiver is appropriate; (v) taking any and all actions that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by the Equityholders’ Representative in its sole discretion, in connection with any amendment hereof in accordance with Section 13.02; (vi) accepting notices on behalf of such Equityholder in accordance with Section 13.01; (vii) delivering or causing to be delivered at the Closing certificates representing the Transferred Securities to be sold by such Equityholder hereunder (if any); (viii) executing and delivering, in the Equityholders’ Representative’s capacity as the representative of such Equityholder, any and all notices, documents or certificates to be executed by the Equityholders’ Representative, on behalf of such Equityholder, in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents; (ix) granting any consent or approval on behalf of such Equityholder under this Agreement; (x) acting on behalf of the Equityholders in any dispute, litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement; and (xi) taking any and all other actions and doing any and all other things provided in or contemplated by this Agreement to be performed by such Equityholder or by the Equityholders’ Representative on behalf of such Equityholder. As the representative of the Equityholders, the Equityholders’ Representative shall act as the agent for all of the Equityholders and shall have authority to bind each Equityholder in accordance with this Agreement, and the Equityholders’ Representative may rely on such appointment and authority until the receipt of notice of the appointment of a successor upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Equityholders’ Representative, delivered by the Camden Stockholders who, together, constitute a majority of the Camden Pro Rata Percentages. The appointment of a successor Equityholders’ Representative under this Section 2.09(a) shall not be binding on Buyer, Yucatan or Camden unless Buyer, Yucatan and Camden have received not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the appoint of such successor Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer, Yucatan and Camden shall be entitled to deal with the Person then acting as Equityholders’ Representative until such date ten (10) days after such written notice is received of the appointment of a successor Equityholders’ Representative. The power of attorney granted under this Section 2.09(a) is coupled with an interest and shall survive the death or incapacity of each Equityholder. Equityholders’ Representative hereby accepts its appointment as the Equityholders’ Representative.

(b) Each Equityholder (other than the Equityholders’ Representative) hereby irrevocably appoints the Equityholders’ Representative as such Equityholder’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, and agent for service of process, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, in such Equityholder’s name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, in connection with the Transaction Documents, granting unto said attorney-in-fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in connection with the sale of such Equityholder’s Transferred Securities and the transactions contemplated hereby and under the other Transaction Documents as fully to all intents and purposes as such Equityholder might or could do in person.

(c) Neither the Equityholders’ Representative nor any agent employed by it shall incur any liability to any Equityholder relating to the performance of its duties under this Agreement for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken on behalf of Equityholders (or any of them), except in the case of the Equityholders’ Representative’s gross negligence, actual fraud or willful misconduct. The Equityholders’ Representative may consult with counsel of its own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by the Equityholders’ Representative hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

(d) Each Equityholder hereby irrevocably agrees, severally and not jointly, to bear such Equityholder’s Liability Percentage of any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred without gross negligence or fraud on the part of the Equityholders’ Representative, in connection with the performance of its duties, or arising out of, or in connection with, any action or decision taken or made on behalf of any Equityholder by the Equityholders’ Representative within the scope of the Equityholders’ Representative’s duties under this Section 2.09, and to be bound by all actions taken by the Equityholders’ Representative in its capacity as such within the scope of the Equityholders’ Representative’s duties under this Section 2.09.

(e) Each Equityholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Damage, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Equityholders’ Representative, if any, shall be reimbursed by the Equityholders, severally and not jointly, in accordance with their respective Liability Percentages.

(f) The Equityholders’ Representative may resign at any time by delivering not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Buyer, Yucatan, Camden and the Equityholders. Any such resignation shall be effective at such time as the vacancy in the position of Equityholders’ Representative is filled by the Equityholders in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon the resignation of the Equityholders’ Representative, a successor Equityholders’ Representative shall be promptly appointed by the Camden Stockholders who, together, constitute a majority of the aggregate Camden Pro Rata Percentages.

(g) Without limiting the generality of Sections 2.09(a) and (b) and notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer and, following the Closing, the Company Parties, shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Equityholders’ Representative on all matters with respect to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents including, but not limited to, the matters described in Sections 2.09(a) and (b) and ARTICLE 12 and Buyer and, following the Closing, the Company Parties, shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Equityholder by the Equityholders’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Equityholder by the Equityholders’ Representative, as fully binding upon such Equityholder.

(h) All notices delivered by Buyer or, following the Closing, a Company Party, to the Equityholders’ Representative (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) shall constitute notice to the Equityholders.

ARTICLE 3 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Companies

Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedules (subject to Section 13.03(a)), which schedules shall identify any exceptions to the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, Yucatan represents and warrants to Buyer that the following statements are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement, except with respect to statements that speak to an earlier date, in which case, they shall be so true and correct as of such earlier date:

Section 3.01 Company Existence and Power. Each Company is an entity duly organized, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all organizational power and authority necessary to carry on its business as currently conducted, to own, lease and operate its properties, rights and assets, and to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each of Tanok and Tanokatan is a Mexican tax resident and is duly qualified to do business in Mexico. Each Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets, rights or properties or the conduct of its business as presently conducted requires such qualification, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified would not be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Companies.

Section 3.02 Company Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by Yucatan of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, are within its limited partnership powers and have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of Yucatan and its partners. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Yucatan is a party by the other parties thereto, this Agreement and such other Transaction Documents constitute valid and binding agreements of Yucatan enforceable against Yucatan in accordance with their respective terms (subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity, including Applicable Laws relating to specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”)).

Section 3.03 Governmental Authorization. Assuming the accuracy of Buyer’s representations and warranties in Section 5.04, the execution, delivery and performance by Yucatan of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, require no notice, report, consent, Filing or other action by a Company with any Governmental Authority, other than (i) such notices, Filings and consents as may be required solely by reason of Buyer’s participation in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the other Transaction Documents and (ii) any other actions or Filings, including the updating of Permits, the absence of which would not be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Companies or prevent or delay their ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 3.04 Noncontravention. The execution, delivery and performance by Yucatan of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by the Companies, do not and will not constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, or default under the Organizational Documents of a Company, (ii) a violation or breach under any Applicable Law or Order as it relates to a Company, (iii) require any consent or other action by, notice to or payment to any Person under, constitute a default or breach or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, release of source code or acceleration of any right or obligation of a Company or to a loss of any right or benefit to which a Company is entitled under any provision of any Contract binding upon a Company or by which its assets are bound, or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any asset or right of a Company, except in the case of clauses (ii), and (iii), for any such breach, violation, default, termination, cancellation, amendment, acceleration or loss of material benefit that would not, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the Companies.

Section 3.05 Capitalization.

(a) Schedule 3.05(a) sets forth a true and correct list of the beneficial and record owners of the LP Interests and the corresponding LP Interests held by each such Person immediately prior to the Closing. Camden is the beneficial and record owner of all of the outstanding general partnership interests of Yucatan.

Each Equityholder acknowledges that for the period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, such Equityholder shall not disclose any Confidential Information to anyone other than employees and representatives of Buyer and, after the Closing, any Company Party except any such Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed by an Equityholder in connection with any Action before any Governmental Authority or pursuant to any Applicable Law; provided that such Equityholder shall give reasonable prior notice to Buyer of the requirement to disclose such Confidential Information. For purposes hereof, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean all non-public and propriety information relating to the Company Parties, their customers and products and services including the following: (a) all formulations, test results, production and manufacturing information and know-how and all other technical information relating to the manufacture, formulation, or production of the products or services of any Company; (b) all information and records concerning products or services being researched by, under development by or being tested by any Company but not yet offered for sale; (c) all trade secrets relating to any Company; (d) all information concerning pricing policies of the Companies, the prices charged by the Companies to its customers, the volume or orders of such customers and other information concerning the transactions of the Companies with their customers or prospective customers; (e) customer and vendor and prospective customer and vendor lists of the Companies; (f) producers, growers and vendors which provide goods or services to the Company Parties and the prices charged by such parties and any other aspect of the transactions between such parties and the Company Parties; (g) financial information concerning the Company Parties; (h) information concerning salaries or wages paid to, the work records of and other personnel information relative to employees of the Companies; (i) information concerning the marketing programs or strategies of the Companies; and (j) all other confidential and propriety information of the Company Parties.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties expressly release any and all past, present and future claims in connection with said released matters, including with respect to such claims which said parties do not know of or suspect to exist in their favor, whether through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence or otherwise, and which, if known, would materially affect their decision to enter into this Agreement.

(b) It is the intention of the Equityholders in executing the release contained in this Section 9.04 and in giving and receiving the consideration called for herein, that this release shall be effective as a full and final accord and satisfaction and general release of and from all Section 9.04 Released Matters. Each Equityholder hereby severally (and not jointly) represents to Buyer that such Equityholder has not voluntarily or involuntarily assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any Person any Section 9.04 Released Matters and that no Person other than such Equityholder has any interest in any Section 9.04 Released Matters by Applicable Law or Contract or by virtue of any action or inaction by such Equityholder in a manner that would derogate from or otherwise prejudice the foregoing waiver.

(d) The invalidity or unenforceability of any part of this Section 9.04 shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Section 9.04, which shall remain in full force and effect.

(e) For the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Section 9.04 Released Parties, each Equityholder expressly acknowledges that this Agreement is intended to include and does include in its effect, without limitation, all claims that would qualify as Section 9.04 Released Matters which such Equityholder does not know or suspect to exist in such Equityholder’s favor against any of the Section 9.04 Released Parties at the moment of execution hereof, and that this Agreement expressly contemplates the extinguishment of all such claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Equityholder hereby waives any and all rights such Equityholder has or may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

From and after the Closing, Buyer shall not, and shall cause each of the Company Parties and their respective Affiliates not to, (i) terminate, rescind or reduce that certain dividend declared by Camden on or about November [__], 2018 in respect of the value added Tax refund anticipated to be received by Tanok and distributed up to Camden, or (ii) modify any Camden Organizational Document or Tanok Organization Document in any manner that would alter, diminish or eliminate any Camden Stockholder’s right to receive such declared dividend.

(a) For a period of not less than twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause Companies to, provide Continuing Employees with (i) a base salary or wage rate and target cash bonus opportunity (collectively, “total compensation”) substantially comparable in the aggregate to the total compensation provided to such Continuing Employees immediately before the Closing Date and (ii) employee benefits (other than any equity-based, change in control or transaction based compensation or benefits, defined benefit pension benefits or retiree health or welfare benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits (other than any equity-based, change in control or transaction based compensation or benefits, defined benefit pension benefits or retiree health or welfare benefits) provided to such Continuing Employees immediately before the Closing Date.

(b) With respect to any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA maintained by Buyer or the Companies (or any of their respective Affiliates) in which any Continuing Employee is eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date, for the purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting (but not for benefit accrual purposes (except for vacation and severance), or vesting under any equity compensation plan, as applicable), such Continuing Employee’s service with the Companies before the Closing Date shall be treated as service with Buyer and its Affiliates to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Closing Date, to credit for such service under any analogous Employee Plan; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that it would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Companies) to use commercially reasonable efforts to, waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage of the Continuing Employees (and any dependents thereof) under any welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employees (and any dependents thereof) may be eligible to participate after the Closing to the same extent such preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods did not apply or were satisfied under any analogous Employee Plan before the Closing Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and without limiting the generality of Section 13.09, all provisions contained in this ARTICLE 10 are included for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, (i) shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Employee Plan or other employee benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement, (ii) shall limit the right of Buyer or a Company or their respective Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Employee Plan or other employee benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement following the Closing Date or (iii) shall confer upon any other Person who is not a party to this Agreement (including any Equityholder, any Service Provider, Company Employee, Continuing Employee or any participant in any Employee Plan or other employee benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof)) any right to continued or resumed employment or recall, any right to specific compensation or benefits, or any third-party beneficiary or other right of any kind or nature whatsoever.

(a) The Equityholders’ Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and the Companies and Camden, as applicable, shall file or cause to be filed, all Income Tax Returns of the Companies and Camden, as applicable, for periods ending on or before the Closing Date that are required to be filed after the Closing Date. Such Income Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with the most recent Tax practices of the Companies and Camden, as applicable, as to elections and accounting methods unless otherwise required by Applicable Law. The Equityholders’ Representative shall provide to Buyer copies of the Income Tax Returns of the Companies and Camden described above as well as provide access to the books, records and work papers used to produce and support the Income Tax Returns at least twenty (20) days prior to the filing deadline and permit Buyer to review and comment on each such Income Tax Return before filing it and shall reasonably and in good faith consider such revisions to such Income Tax Returns as are requested by Buyer.

(b) Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and the Companies and Camden, as applicable, shall file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns that are required to be filed on or after the Closing Date (other than those Tax Returns covered by Section 10.02(a)). Buyer shall permit the Equityholders’ Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return for any Straddle Period that includes a Pre-Closing Tax Period before filing such Tax Return, to the extent that such Tax Return could result in a Tax liability for which the Equityholders would be responsible, and Buyer shall reasonably and in good faith consider such revisions to such Tax Returns as are requested by the Equityholders’ Representative. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the date any Tax Return described in this Section 10.02(b) is filed, each Equityholder shall pay in immediately available funds to Buyer such Equityholder’s Liability Percentage of the amount of Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period or the Pre-Closing Tax Period of a Straddle Return reflected on such Tax Return.

(c) Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return governed by subsection (a), and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer agrees to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Companies and Camden, as applicable, and relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority for all periods required by such Taxing Authority.

(d) Other than in respect of the IVA Tax Credits, from and after the Closing, at the reasonable written request of Equityholders’ Representative and at Equityholders’ sole expense, Buyer shall cause the Companies and Camden, as applicable, to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any Tax refund of the Companies and Camden, as applicable, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Within five (5) Days after the receipt or realization thereof, Buyer shall cause the Company or Camden, as applicable, to pay to the Equityholders all cash refunds of Taxes of the Company in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period net of any out-of-pocket costs (including Taxes) of Buyer attributable to the refund, together with any interest on such refund actually received by Buyer except to the extent any such refund: (i) was included in the Closing Net Working Capital, (ii) results from the carryback of any net operating loss, credit, or other Tax attribute from any post-Closing Tax period, or (iii) is of Taxes paid by Buyer that have not been indemnified by the Equityholders. To the extent any refund previously paid to Equityholders is subsequently disallowed, the Equityholders shall promptly repay to Buyer the amount of such refund so disallowed, together with any interest, penalties or other amounts imposed by the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to such refund.

(e) From and after the Closing, Buyer, the Companies and Camden each agree that in no event shall Buyer, the Companies or Camden cause or permit (i) the amendment of any Income Tax Return of the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) a voluntary initiation of any discussion with any Taxing Authority regarding Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iii) the filing of any voluntary disclosure agreement with any Taxing Authority with respect to Taxes of the Company or Camden for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in any such case without the prior written consent of the Equityholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such action would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Tax liability of the Equityholders for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the liability of the Equityholders under ARTICLE 12 of this Agreement.

(f) If any Taxing Authority issues to Buyer or either of the Companies or Camden (i) a notice of its intent to audit, examine or conduct a proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or Camden for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or (ii) a notice of deficiency, a notice of its intent to assess a deficiency or a notice of proposed adjustment concerning Taxes or Tax Returns of the Companies or Camden for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period (the items set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), each a “Tax Contest”), Buyer shall promptly notify the Equityholders’ Representative and the other Equityholders of the receipt of such communication, provided that failure of Buyer to notify Equityholders’ Representative of any Tax Contest shall not relieve Equityholders of any liability with respect to such Tax Contest except to the extent that the Equityholders were actually prejudiced thereby. If the Equityholders have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement with respect to any Damages arising as a result of such Tax Contest or would otherwise be responsible for any of the applicable Taxes, then the Equityholders’ Representative shall have the authority to control, defend, settle and resolve such Tax Contest solely relating to Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period at the Equityholders’ sole cost and expense, so long as the Equityholders’ Representative provides written notice to Buyer of its intent to control such Tax Contest solely relating to Taxes for such Pre-Closing Tax Period within 30 days after receiving notice of such matter; and Buyer shall have the exclusive authority to control and defend any Tax Contest for any Pre-Closing Tax Period with respect to which the Equityholders have failed to give timely notice of intent to control such Tax Contest. Each of Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall have the right to participate in a Tax Contest being defended against by the other at its sole expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Equityholders’ Representative or Buyer, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Buyer or the Equityholders’ Representative, as the case may be, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Equityholders’ Representative or Buyer, as the case may be, shall take all actions reasonably necessary to allow the other party and its counsel to fully participate in the Tax Contest and shall keep the other party reasonably informed of the details and status of the Tax Contest (including providing the other party with copies of all written correspondence regarding such Tax Contest). For the purpose of clarity, the procedures set forth in this subsection, and not Section 12.06, shall apply with respect to any Tax Contest.

(g) Buyer shall pay one-half (1/2) and Equityholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Equityholders) shall pay one-half (1/2) of all Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any similar Tax).

(h) For purposes of this Section 10.02, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes that relate to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall (A) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income, receipts or payroll, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (B) in the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income, receipts or payroll, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended at the end of the Closing Date, using the “closing of the books” method of accounting. Any credits relating to a Straddle Period shall be taken into account as though the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date.

(i) Unless otherwise required by a final determination under Code § 1313, the Buyer, Camden, and the Camden Stockholders 1) shall treat the exchange of the Stock Consideration paid to the Camden Stockholders for the Camden Shares as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code, 2) shall file all Tax Returns and any required Tax Statements consistent with such treatment, including the taking of a basis in the Camden Shares equal to the basis of the Camden Stockholders, and 3) shall not take, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to take, any position for Tax purposes that is inconsistent with such treatment. Moreover, Buyer and its Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with any valuation firm retained by the Camden Stockholders’, including, without limitation, in connection with the valuation firm’s preparation and delivery of an opinion or letter which confirms that the value of the Camden Shares surrendered are roughly equal in value to the Stock Consideration received.

(j) For purposes of clarification, the parties agree that unless otherwise required by a final determination under Code § 1313, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the parties intend that the Capital Contribution shall be treated as a contribution to Yucatan under Code § 721 and amounts paid to the Transferring Limited Partners shall be treated as a purchase of the Transferred LP Interests held by the Transferring Limited Partners.

(k) Buyer and the Equityholders acknowledge and agree that all deductions resulting from or attributable to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (including payment of any amount of Closing Indebtedness or Transaction Costs) shall be taken into account in the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law.

Section 10.03 Section 754 Election and Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties shall cause Yucatan to make an election under Section 754 of the Code on its federal Income Tax return for the Tax period of Yucatan that includes the Closing Date, and all items of Yucatan’s income, gain, loss, or deduction attributable to the Tax period of Yucatan that includes the Closing Date shall be allocated based on the interim closing method of Yucatan as of the date of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and shall not be based on a proration of such items for the entire Tax period.

(b) The Cash Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, plus all liabilities and other amounts that are treated as amounts realized for Income Tax purposes which are attributable to the Transferred LP Interests, shall be allocated for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes (and any similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Legal Requirements, as appropriate), using the methodology prepared by the Buyer and provided to the Equityholders’ Representative in writing within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date. The Buyer, Camden and the Transferring Limited Partners shall file, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to file, all Tax Returns and make all computations under Sections 706, 741, 751 and 755 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation. The Buyer, Camden and the Transferring Limited Partners shall not take, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to take, any position for Tax purposes (whether in Tax audits, Returns, proceedings or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such allocation, unless required to do so by a final determination under Code § 1313; provided, however, that no party shall be unreasonably impeded in its ability and discretion to concede, negotiate, compromise, and/or settle any Tax audit, claim, or similar proceeding in connection with such allocation.

Subject to the limitations of liability set forth in this ARTICLE 12, the Fundamental Representations (and the indemnification obligations of the Equityholders set forth in Section 12.02(a) arising out of an inaccuracy, breach or misrepresentation of a Fundamental Representation) and the Buyer Fundamental Representations (and the indemnification obligations of Buyer set forth in Section 12.04(a) arising out of an inaccuracy, breach or misrepresentation of a Buyer Fundamental Representation) shall survive the Closing until the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Subject to the limitations of liability set forth in this ARTICLE 12, the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement, the Mexico Equity Interest Purchase Agreement or in any certificate delivered at Closing pursuant hereto (other than the Fundamental Representations and the Buyer Fundamental Representations and other than in the case of Fraud as to which claims may be brought without limitation as to time), shall survive the Closing until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”). All of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the parties hereto required to be performed after the Closing shall survive until fully performed and claims with respect to breaches of such covenants shall be brought within the statute of limitations applicable to such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, or any other matter, in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentences, if, before such time, timely notice of the inaccuracy or breach, or other matter giving rise to such right of indemnity, shall have been given in accordance with this ARTICLE 12 to Buyer (if indemnification is sought against Buyer) or the Equityholders’ Representative (if indemnification is sought against the Equityholders).

Section 12.02 Indemnification of Buyer Indemnified Parties. Effective at and after the Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 12, each Equityholder severally, but not jointly, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 12.03 below, hereby indemnifies Buyer, the Company Parties, their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, successors and assignees (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Damages (whether involving a Third Party Claim or a claim solely between the parties hereto), incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty (each, a “Warranty Breach”) of (i) Yucatan in ARTICLE 3 of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Yucatan at Closing pursuant hereto, (ii) Camden in ARTICLE 4 of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Camden at Closing pursuant hereto or (iii) any Equityholder in ARTICLE 6 of this Agreement or in the Mexico Equity Interest Purchase Agreement or in any certificate delivered by such Equityholder at Closing pursuant hereto;

(b) any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or any Transaction Document (each, a “Covenant Breach”) by an Equityholder or the Equityholders’ Representative;

(c) any Transaction Costs or Closing Indebtedness that is not taken into account in determining the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration hereunder;

(d) Taxes of any Company Party (including any Taxes of an Equityholder for which a Company Party is held liable) relating to (i) any taxable period of the Company Parties (or any of their predecessors) ending on or before the Closing Date, (ii) the portion on or before the Closing Date of any Straddle Period, (iii) any transaction that occurred prior to the Closing Date, (iv) the resolution of any pre-Closing Tax issue and/or proceeding, and/or (v) the Closing of the transactions herein contemplated, including any and all withholding or other Taxes with respect to any payments made by Buyer to the Equityholders pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement;

(e) Any Environmental Claim (regardless of, and notwithstanding any, disclosure of any items that are the subject of an Environmental Claim in the Company Disclosure Schedules or the Camden Disclosure Schedules);

(f) Any non-compliance with Applicable Law determined as a result of any audit, review or investigation by Governmental Authorities as to import and export support documentation or procedures, inventory controls, including Mexico’s Annex 24 and Annex 31 requirements, and assets located in Mexico and relating to the activities or period prior to the Closing (regardless of, and notwithstanding any, disclosure of any items that are the subject of such indemnity claim in the Company Disclosure Schedules or the Camden Disclosure Schedules); and

(g) Any reduction in the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration under Section 2.06(g) hereof.

Section 12.03 Limitations on Indemnification by Equityholders; Type and Order of Recovery.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or any certificates delivered at Closing pursuant thereto, except in the case of Damages for any Warranty Breach for breaches of the Fundamental Representations or Fraud (as to which the limitations set forth in this Section 12.03(a) shall not apply), the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Damages in respect of any Warranty Breach under Section 12.02(a) in the aggregate, in excess of Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) (the “Indemnification Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnification payments made with respect to a Warranty Breach for breaches of the Fundamental Representations or Fraud shall not be included in the determination of whether the Indemnification Cap has been met.

(b) With respect to indemnification by the Equityholders for Warranty Breaches under Section 12.02(a), except in the case of Damages for any Warranty Breach, for breaches of the Fundamental Representations or Fraud (as to which the limitations set forth in this Section 12.03(b) shall not apply), the Equityholders shall not be liable for any such Warranty Breaches unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages with respect to all Warranty Breaches covered by this Section 12.03(b) exceeds an amount equal to Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) (such amount, the “Equityholders’ Basket”) and then only to the extent of such excess.

(c) A Buyer Indemnified Party shall recover Damages (to the extent in excess of the Equityholders’ Basket if applicable) in respect of any indemnification claim under Section 12.02:

(i) first from the Indemnification Escrow; and

(ii) second, following the release or exhaustion of the Indemnification Escrow, from the Equityholders in accordance with the order of recovery described in Section 12.03(f) and Section 12.03(g) below, as illustrated in the Liability Waterfall.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, no Equityholder shall be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party for a Warranty Breach under ARTICLE 6 or a Covenant Breach, in each case, of any other particular Equityholder (as opposed to a Warranty Breach or a Covenant Breach of Yucatan, Camden or of the Equityholders collectively); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect Buyer’s right to recover Damages for such breaches from the Indemnification Escrow as provided in Section 12.03(c) and Section 12.10.

(e) The limitations set forth in this Section 12.03 do not in any way limit the obligation of the Equityholders to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any Damages arising from any Covenant Breach, even if such breach also constitutes a Warranty Breach; provided, however, that Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to any double recovery for any matter which constitutes both a Covenant Breach and a Warranty Breach.

(f) For the duration of the Initial Lock-Up Period, the Buyer Indemnitees’ sole source of recovery for Damages shall be against the Stock Consideration received by the Camden Stockholders, including any additional Stock Consideration issued as Adjustment Consideration (the “Total Stock Consideration”), unless and until the Buyer Indemnitees have recovered Damages equal the value of the Total Stock Consideration, after which the Buyer Indemnitees’ sole source of recovery for Damages shall be against the Preferred Limited Partners in cash, in each case, subject to the Equityholders’ Basket (to the extent applicable), the Indemnification Cap (to the extent applicable), and the other limitations set forth in this Section 12.03, all as illustrated in the Liability Waterfall.

(g) From and after the expiration of the Initial Lock-Up Period, the Buyer Indemnitees’ sole source of recovery for Damages shall continue to be against the Total Stock Consideration to the extent the same remains held by the Camden Stockholders, and thereafter against the Camden Stockholders in cash, unless and until the Buyer Indemnitees have recovered Damages equal to the value of the Total Stock Consideration still held, after which the Buyer Indemnitees’ sole source of recovery for Damages shall be against the Preferred Limited Partners in cash, in each case, subject to the Equityholders’ Basket (to the extent applicable), the Indemnification Cap (to the extent applicable) and the other limitations set forth in this Section 12.03, all as illustrated in the Liability Waterfall.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, in no event shall any Equityholder have any liability under Section 12.02 in excess of the portion of the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration received by such Equityholder, whether in respect of a Warranty Breach, a Covenant Breach, Fraud or otherwise. More specifically, each Camden Stockholder shall not have any liability for Damages in excess of the value of the portion of the Total Stock Consideration received by such Camden Stockholder, and each Preferred Limited Partner shall not have any liability for Damages in excess of the Preferred Payout received by such Preferred Limited Partner, all as illustrated in the Liability Waterfall.

(i) The parties agree that, for purposes of this ARTICLE 12, all Stock Consideration shall be valued at the Stock Value.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the following terms shall apply with respect to any Environmental Claim subject to indemnity under Section 12.02(e) and any indemnity claim under Section 12.02(f):

(i) Amounts for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification as a result of an Environmental Claim under Section 12.02(e) or any indemnity claim under Section 12.02(f) shall not be subject to, or count towards, either the Equityholders’ Basket or the Indemnification Cap.

(ii) The indemnification obligations of the Equityholders with respect to Environmental Claims under Section 12.02(e) and indemnity claims under Section 12.02(f) shall survive until the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Buyer’s right to seek indemnity under Section 12.02(e) and Section 12.02(f) shall survive the Expiration Date with respect to Damages as to which the Buyer has notified the Equityholders’ Representative prior to the Expiration Date.

Section 12.04 Indemnification of Equityholder Indemnified Parties. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 12, Buyer shall indemnify the Equityholders, their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, successors and assignees (collectively, the “Equityholder Indemnified Parties”) against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Damages (whether involving a Third-Party Claim or a claim solely between the parties hereto) incurred or suffered by the Equityholder Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of, with respect to or by reason of: (a) any Warranty Breach by Buyer in ARTICLE 5 or any certificate delivered by Buyer at Closing pursuant hereto, and (b) any Covenant Breach by Buyer in this Agreement or any Covenant Breach by Yucatan or Camden of any covenant arising under this Agreement after the Closing.

Section 12.05 Other Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or any certificates delivered at Closing pursuant thereto:

(a) Any Damages otherwise indemnifiable under this ARTICLE 12 shall be reduced by (1) the amount of insurance proceeds actually recovered by an Indemnified Party in respect of such Damages (net of costs of collection, deductibles, retro-premium adjustments and any known and reasonably likely increases in premiums); and (2) any Tax Benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the facts or circumstances giving rise to such Damages. For this purpose, an Indemnified Party shall be deemed to realize a Tax benefit with respect to a taxable year if, and to the extent that, the Indemnified Party’s liability for Taxes for such taxable year, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributable to such Damages, exceeds the Indemnified Party’s actual liability for Taxes for such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to such Damages.

(b) Each Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Damages; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require an Indemnified Party to commence any Action. Subject to Section 12.03, in the event that an Indemnifying Party makes any payment to any Indemnified Party for indemnification for which it is reasonably likely that such Indemnified Party could have collected on a claim against a third party (including under any contract and any insurance claims), the Indemnified Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to enable the Indemnifying Party, at Indemnifying Party’s expense, to pursue claims and conduct litigation to recover such payment; provided, however, that any claim against a third party that constitutes a vendor or a customer of a Company Party shall only be conducted with the prior written consent of, and in compliance with a process approved by, Buyer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, but which may take into account concerns with respect to preserving any vendor or customer relationship). The Indemnified Party will not waive or release any contractual right to recover from a third party any Damages for which an indemnification claim has been paid by an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party has the right to pursue collection under this Section 12.05(b) without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Party will, and will cause its Affiliates (including Yucatan or Camden, as applicable, if Yucatan or Camden is an Affiliate), reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, with respect to any such effort to pursue and collect with respect thereto which is permitted under this section.

(c) No Buyer Indemnified Party will be entitled to any indemnification (i) to the extent such matter was taken into account in determining the Final Aggregate Acquisition Consideration (including as Closing Indebtedness or a reduction in Closing Working Capital), or (ii) to avoid any double recovery, to the extent a Buyer Indemnified Party has previously been indemnified or otherwise compensated for such matter pursuant to this ARTICLE 12.

(d) For purposes of determining the amount of any Damages that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification (but not for determining whether or not any breaches have occurred), each representation and warranty in this Agreement shall be read without regard and without giving effect to the term “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar phrase which has the effect of making such representation or warranty less restrictive (as if any such word or phrase were deleted from such representation and warranty) but not ignoring any dollar thresholds set forth in such representation or warranty, other than the use of the term “Material Adverse Effect” in the first sentence of Section 3.08; provided, however, that for purposes of determining whether or not a breach of such representation or warranty has occurred under Section 12.02(a), any matter or circumstance or group of related matters or circumstances giving rise to a breach that would result in a claim for Damages by Buyer in excess of $40,000 shall be deemed “material” for these purposes.

Section 12.06 Third-Party Claim Procedures.

(a) The party seeking indemnification under Section 12.02 or Section 12.04, as applicable (the “Indemnified Party”), agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action by any third party (“Third-Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought thereunder; provided, however, the failure to timely notify the Indemnifying Party of any such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third-Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party).

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party and subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 12.06, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, at Indemnifying Party’s expense; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized, and at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), prior to the Indemnifying Party’s delivery of a written notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to defend such Third-Party Claim, to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall reasonably deem necessary to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim as contemplated in this Section 12.06(b), the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or condition) to conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, it shall advise the Indemnified Party of the status of such Third-Party Claim and the defense thereon on a reasonably current basis and consider good faith recommendations made by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim if (i) the Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend the Third-Party Claim vigorously or (iv) in the case of a Buyer Indemnified Party, the amount of the Third-Party Claim, if determined in accordance with the claimant’s demands, would reasonably be expected to result in Damages, together with all other unresolved claims for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the majority of which would not be available for recovery from the Equityholders under this ARTICLE 12 (other than as a result of the application of the Equityholders’ Basket). For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnifying Party shall always have the right to control the defense of a Third-Party Claim to the extent filed against an Indemnifying Party (as opposed to a Buyer Indemnified Party).

(d) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.06, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such Third-Party Claim; provided that consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required for any such settlement if (i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (ii) such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Equityholder Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, from all Liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Third-Party Claim and does not include any statement as to any finding or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Equityholder Indemnified Parties, as the case may be. In the event the Indemnified Party is not permitted to defend the Third-Party Claim under Section 12.06(c), elects not to defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement in a timely manner, the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise, defend or settle such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, this ARTICLE 12.

(e) In circumstances where the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (and, as it relates to any Equityholders as the Indemnifying Party, such payment shall be in the form of a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the Indemnification Escrow to the extent available) (i) to the extent incurred by the Indemnified Party before the date that the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third-Party Claim or (ii) if the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that (A) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense of such claim or (B) there may be one or more defenses or claims available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party so as to result in a potential conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. In the case of the foregoing clause (ii), the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed with respect to such Third-Party Claim and cooperate with the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

(f) Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 12.07 Direct Claim Procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 12.02 or Section 12.04 against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the failure to timely notify the Indemnifying Party of a claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). If the Indemnifying Party disputes its indemnity obligation for any Damages with respect to such claim, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of the claim from the Indemnifying Party, the parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute. If the parties have not resolved such dispute through negotiations within thirty (30) days after notice by the Indemnifying Party that it disputes its indemnity obligations, or if Indemnifying Party fails to deliver a notice of dispute within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of the claim from the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12.08 Exclusive Remedy; Fraud. Except for equitable or injunctive relief or with respect to claims for Fraud with respect to the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the sole and exclusive recourse of the Indemnified Parties, including any claims for Damages under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and any certificate delivered at Closing pursuant hereto or thereto), shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE 12. In the event of any claim by Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Parties for Damages arising out of or relating to Fraud with respect to the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the following shall apply: (a) with respect to the representations and warranties made by Yucatan in ARTICLE 3, each Equityholder’s liability (if any) shall be several, and not joint, in accordance with such Equityholder’s relative share of the Damages as provided in Section 12.03(f) and Section 12.03(g) (if any), (b) with respect to the representations and warranties made by Camden in ARTICLE 4, each Equityholder’s liability (if any) shall be several, and not joint, in accordance with such Equityholder’s relative share of the Damages as provided in Section 12.03(f) and Section 12.03(g) (if any), and (c) with respect to the representations and warranties made by any Equityholder in ARTICLE 6, such claim shall be brought by Buyer solely against such offending Equityholder (and for avoidance of doubt, no Equityholder shall be liable for any Fraud by any other Equityholder) provided that this clause (c) shall not limit Buyer’s rights to proceed against the Indemnification Escrow for any Fraud by an Equityholder under ARTICLE 6.

Section 12.09 Adjustment. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any amount paid under ARTICLE 12 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Aggregate Acquisition Consideration for all applicable tax purposes.

Section 12.10 Distribution of Indemnification Escrow.

(a) Subject to the limitations of liability set forth in this ARTICLE 12, the Indemnification Escrow shall be reduced in accordance with Section 12.03 by the amount of any Damages for which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 12.02 and Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to release the Stock Consideration implicated thereby to Buyer.

(b) Within five (5) Business Days after Tanok receives the EIA Permit, the Equityholders’ Representative and the Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnification Escrow and distribute to the Camden Stockholders, in accordance with their Camden Pro Rata Percentages, an amount equal to (i) the portion of the Indemnification Escrow in excess of $8,000,000, less (ii) the aggregate amount claimed by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to claims made against the Indemnification Escrow related to a Permit Indemnity, if any, which are not fully resolved before such date and continue to be contested in good faith by a Buyer Indemnified Party.

(c) The Equityholders’ Representative and the Buyer shall, with respect to the Indemnification Escrow remaining as of the Escrow Release Date (the “Stock Escrow Release Date”) (minus the aggregate amount claimed by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to claims made against such funds pursuant to this ARTICLE 12 before the Stock Escrow Release Date which are not fully resolved before such date and continue to be contested in good faith by a Buyer Indemnified Party (such amounts, the “Unresolved Claims”)) direct the Escrow Agent to release such portion of the Indemnification Escrow and distribute the same to the Camden Stockholders in accordance with their Camden Pro Rata Percentages. At any time following the Stock Escrow Release Date, to the extent that the Indemnification Escrow retained for Unresolved Claims exceeds the aggregate amount claimed by Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to such claims, then the Equityholders’ Representative and the Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to distribute the excess amount to the Camden Stockholders in accordance with their Camden Pro Rata Percentages.
