THE SECURITIES TO BE ACQUIRED HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

EACH PERSON NAMED ON THE SIGNATURE PAGE HERETO AS A “ROLLOVER INVESTOR”, BY EXECUTION OF THIS ROLLOVER, CONTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE TO SUCH ROLLOVER INVESTOR.

ROLLOVER, CONTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 12, 2016, by and between Pomegranate Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), and each of the stockholders of The Fresh Market, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”) listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto as holding the “Rollover Shares” listed thereon (each, a “Rollover Investor” and collectively, the “Rollover Investors”).

WHEREAS, Company, the Parent, and Pomegranate Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (“Merger Sub”), are parties to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 11, 2016 (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement);

WHEREAS, soon after the execution of this Agreement and pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub has agreed to commence a cash tender offer to acquire any and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock for $28.50 per share, net to the seller in cash without interest (such offer, as may be extended from time to time as permitted under, or required by, the Merger Agreement, the “Offer”);

WHEREAS, following the consummation of the Offer, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger and pursuant to the Merger each share of Company Common Stock that is not validly tendered and irrevocably accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer (except as otherwise provided herein and in the Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price;

WHEREAS, immediately prior to and in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Rollover Investors desire to exchange shares of common stock of Company (“Rollover Shares”) having an aggregate value based on


the per share Offer Price equal to $130,945,330.50 (“Rollover Amount”) for shares of the Parent’s (or the Parent’s permitted assignees) common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Parent Common Stock”), at the price per share of Parent Common Stock paid by affiliates of Apollo Management VIII, L.P. in connection with the purchase of shares of Parent Common Stock prior to or concurrently with the closing of the transactions under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Closing”);

WHEREAS, the closing of the rollover, contribution and exchange contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) will be made simultaneously with the Merger Agreement Closing;

WHEREAS, the parties intend to treat the exchange of shares pursuant to Section 1 as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution hereof, the Company, the Parent, Merger Sub and the Rollover Stockholders are entering into a Support Agreement regarding the tendering and voting of any Shares of Company Common Stock now owned or herein after acquired by such owners;

WHEREAS, as a condition to the issuance of the Acquired Shares (as defined below) to the Rollover Investors, each Rollover Investor will execute and deliver a counterpart signature page or appropriate joinder to the Stockholders’ Agreement of the Parent to be entered into at the Closing, a summary of the principal terms of which are attached as Exhibit A hereto (as amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Stockholders’ Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, immediately following the issuance of the Acquired Shares, the Rollover Investors will contribute such shares to a newly formed limited liability company that will hold all the Acquired Shares (the “BR LLC”) and a summary of the principal terms of the limited liability company agreement of the BR LLC are attached as Exhibit B hereto (as amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “BR LLC Agreement”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parent and the Rollover Investors hereby agree as follows:

(a) The Parent’s obligation to issue and sell Acquired Shares to a Rollover Investor is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions with respect to such Rollover Investor:

(i) all representations and warranties of such Rollover Investor contained in this Agreement will be true and correct as of the Closing;

 

- 5 -


(ii) no Governmental Authority will have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the subscriptions contemplated hereby illegal, or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the subscription contemplated hereby;

(iii) on the Closing Date, following (but substantially contemporaneously with) the Closing, all conditions to the Parent’s obligation to effect the Offer Closing and the Merger Closing will have been satisfied or waived by the Parent or Merger Sub; and

(b) Each Rollover Investor’s obligation to contribute Rollover Shares to the Parent and to acquire Acquired Shares in exchange therefor is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) all representations and warranties of the Parent contained in this Agreement will be true and correct as of the Closing, and consummation of the Closing will constitute a reaffirmation by the Parent that all the representations and warranties of the Parent contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing;

(ii) no Governmental Authority will have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the subscriptions contemplated hereby illegal, or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the subscription contemplated hereby;

- 8 -


this Section 10 shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to termination hereof, and (ii) the provisions of Section 12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. For clarity, this Agreement shall not terminate upon an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Merger Agreement is terminated. If, for any reason, the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement fails to occur promptly following the Closing, then the Parent shall promptly take all such actions as are necessary to restore each Rollover Investor to the position he, she, or it was in with respect to ownership of the Rollover Shares prior to such contribution or exchange taking place.

11. Assignment. The Rollover Investors may not sell, assign or transfer this Agreement, or any portion hereof, including, without limitation, the Rollover Investors’ rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and/or duties hereunder. Subject to the prior written consent of the Rollover Investors, which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld, the Parent may, at any time or times hereafter, sell, assign, transfer or make other disposition of this Agreement, or of any portion hereof, including, without limitation, the Parent’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and/or duties hereunder or thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Rollover Investor acknowledges and agrees that Parent may assign its rights and obligations under Sections 1 and 7 to a newly formed entity that holds all the outstanding entity interests of Parent (“Newco”) and, in such event, references to (a) “Stockholders Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the Stockholders’ Agreement of Newco and (b) “Parent Common Stock” shall be deemed to refer to the common stock of Newco.

12. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by a party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought.

(b) This Agreement, together with the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders’ Agreement and the Support Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the Rollover Investors and the Parent, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(c) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that either of the Rollover Investors or the Parent did not perform any of the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breached any such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parent shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon the Parent will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon the Parent, and the exercise by the Parent of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law.

 

- 9 -


Each Rollover Investor further agrees that the Parent nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 12(c), and each Rollover Investor irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

(f) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement are consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and such transactions shall be paid by the party incurring or required to incur such fees or expenses

(g) All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over any Action, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in any such Action and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance of any such action. Each party hereto agrees that service of process upon such party in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if notice is given by overnight courier at the address set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

(h) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

(j) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(k) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article of, a Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.

Exhibit A

Stockholders’ Agreement Principal Terms

 

Board Composition:   For so long as the Rollover Investors in the aggregate continue to hold at least 10% of the Parent Common Stock, the Rollover Investors shall be entitled to designate one director, who will initially be Ray Berry, to serve on the board of directors the Parent (the “Board”). The other members of the Board will be designated solely by Apollo Management VIII, L.P. or its affilates (“Apollo”).
Powers of the Board:   The Board will have the full authority to exercise all such powers, and to do all such acts and things, as the Parent is authorised to exercise, including, for the avoidance of doubt, borrowing money on behalf of the Parent, issuing new shares of the Parent and other such actions necessary to manage the business and affairs of the Parent, subject only to the protective provisions herein.
Transfer Restrictions:   The Rollover Investors may not directly or indirectly transfer Parent Common Stock unless the transfer is made to (i) their affiliates, family members, charitable foundations and customary estate-planning transferees who execute an appropriate joinder to the Stockholders’ Agreement, (ii) Apollo, (iii) made in connection with the excise of a Rollover Member’s tag-along rights, or (iv) made in connection with the exercise of drag-along rights by Apollo.
Tag-Along Rights:   Upon a sale or sales of shares of Parent Common Stock by Apollo to one or more third party purchasers representing an aggregate of at least 25% of the Parent Common Stock, the Rollover Investors would have the opportunity to sell to such third party purchaser(s) its pro rata share (based on the number of shares held by each such Rollover Member at the time of such sale) of the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be sold to such purchaser(s) or transferee(s),
Drag-Along Rights   The Rollover Investors would be subject to a drag-along obligation with respect to its shares of Parent Common Stock at the option of Apollo, which will require all Rollover Investors to participate pro rata (based on the number of shares held by each party at the time of such sale) in any sale of shares of Parent Common Stock by Apollo to an unrelated third party where the consideration is cash or readily marketable securities of a public company listed on the NYSE or Nasdaq. Any transfer pursuant to the drag-along obligation shall be on the same terms and at the same price payable to


  Apollo and such Rollover Investors shall make the same representations and warranties, and be subject to the same covenants and indemnification obligations, as Apollo in such sale; provided that each Rollover Member’s indemnity obligations shall be several and the indemnity obligation for each such stockholder (other than in cases of fraud) shall be capped at the consideration received by such Rollover Member in the drag-along sale.
Preemptive Rights:   Rollover Investors will be entitled to limited pro rata preemptive rights (as determined on a fully-diluted basis) with respect to offerings of Parent Common Stock where the only offerees are the then-existing stockholders of Parent, subject to customary exceptions.
Registration Rights:   Following the consummation of an initial public offering and for as long as the Rollover Investors in the aggregate hold at least 10% of the Parent Common Stock, Rollover Investors will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights.
Protective Provisions:   For as long as the Rollover Investors in the aggregate hold at least 5% of the Parent Common Stock, the consent of the Rollover Investors holding a majority of the Parent Common Stock held by all Rollover Investors will be required for (i) any amendments of the Stockholders’ Agreement, which disproportionately and materially adversely effect the Rollover Investors, and (ii) any transaction between the Company and Apollo, unless the terms of such transaction are no less favorable than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party.
Restrictive Covenants:   Rollover Investors will be subject to customary confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition and non-disparagement restrictive covenants; provided that the non-disparagement covenants shall be mutual. The confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants will be perpetual.
Financial Information Rights:   Rollover Investors will be entitled to quarterly and annual financial statements of Parent.
Fees:   Rollover Investors will participate on a pro rata basis in any annual management fees owed to Parent or any affiliate of Parent with respect to the Company.
Governing Law:   Delaware.


Exhibit B

BR LLC Agreement Principal Terms

 

Managing Member:   The managing member (the “Managing Member”) will be an entity designated by Apollo, which such entity will have no economic interest in the BR LLC.
Powers of the Managing Member:   The Managing Member shall have the sole authority to manage the affairs of the BR LLC including amending the BR LLC Agreement, except for any amendments, which disproportionately and materially adversely effect the economics of the other members.
Other Members:   The other members will be the Rollover Investors who have the sole economic interest in the BR LLC.
Transfer Restrictions:   The Rollover Investors may not directly or indirectly transfer their interests in the BR LLC unless the transfer is made to their affiliates, family members, charitable foundations and customary estate-planning transferees who execute an appropriate joinder to the BR LLC Agreement or as otherwise permitted by the Managing Member.
Fiduciary Duties:   The BR LLC Agreement will contain a customary disclaimer of fiduciary duties.
Governing Law:   Delaware.
