NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

1.DEFINITIONS. All terms which are defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same definition when used herein unless a different definition is ascribed to such term under this Amendment, in which case, the definition contained herein shall govern.

2.AMENDMENT. The Loan Agreement is amended in the following respects:

2.1.Amend Definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Effective as of the date of this Amendment, the definition of “Adjusted EBITDA” contained in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following:

a)Consolidated Net Income,

b)interest expense,

c)taxes,

d)depreciation and amortization expense and

e)non-cash stock compensation and other non-cash expense items (including any charges resulting from purchase accounting (including step-ups in basis for inventory and other assets)),

plus without duplication,

f)non-recurring business optimization expenses and other restructuring charges or reserves not to exceed $1,000,000 during any four consecutive fiscal quarter measurement period,

g)pro forma “run rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions and cost synergies (in each case net of continuing associated expenses), in each case related to a consummated Permitted Acquisition, that are reasonably identifiable, factually supportable and that are reasonably expected by Borrower Agent in good faith to be realized within twelve months following the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition as a result of specified actions (x) taken since the beginning of such period or (y) initiated prior to or during such period or (z) reasonably anticipated to be taken in connection with or following such consummated Permitted Acquisition (and a Senior Officer of Borrower Agent shall have delivered (i) an officer’s certificate to the Agent stating that such cost savings, operating expense reductions and/or cost synergies are reasonably identifiable, factually supportable and reasonably anticipated in good faith to be achieved, and (ii) information and calculations supporting in reasonable detail such estimated cost savings, operating expense reductions and/or cost synergies) (in the case of each of the foregoing, calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions or cost synergies, as applicable, had been realized on the first day of such period, net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions); provided that (A) the aggregate amount added back pursuant to this clause (g) shall not exceed (to the extent any such adjustment is not permissible under Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act), for any period, five percent (5%) of Adjusted EBITDA for such period (calculated without giving effect to this clause (g)) and (B) if any cost savings, operating expense reductions or cost synergies shall at any time cease to be reasonably anticipated by Borrower Agent to be achieved within the twelve month period following the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition, then on and after such time such cost savings, operating expense reductions or cost synergies shall not be permitted to be added back pursuant to this clause (g),

h)one-time transaction fees, costs, expenses, premiums, make-whole amounts, penalty payments and other similar items during such period in connection with any issuance, incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, any issuance of Equity Interests, any investment, any acquisition and any disposition, in each case to the extent permitted hereunder, including without limitation in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including legal fees and fees, costs and expenses paid or reimbursed to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agent),

i)charges, losses, lost profits, expenses or write-offs to the extent indemnified or insured by a third party, including expenses covered by indemnification provisions in any agreement in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, provided that, in respect of any item that is added back in reliance on this clause (v), the relevant Person in good faith (to the extent set forth in a certificate of a Senior Officer of Borrower Agent) expects to receive reimbursement for such item within the next four fiscal quarters (it being understood that to the extent any reimbursement amount is not actually received within such four fiscal quarter period, such reimbursement amount so added back but not so received shall be deducted in calculating Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal quarter immediately following such four fiscal quarter period),

j)non-cash losses recognized and expenses incurred in connection with the effect of currency and exchange rate fluctuations on intercompany balances and other balance sheet items,

k)up to $5 million in Public Company Costs,

l)any one-time expenses relating to the initial costs associated with, or in anticipation of, or preparation for establishing compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended,

m)one-time $9 million inventory adjustment for winery overhead the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2021,

n)non-cash insurance premiums not to exceed $3.7 million through the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2022, and

o)$19,100,000 of inventory adjustments during the Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2022.

q)gains recognized and income recognized in connection with the effect of currency and exchange rate fluctuations on intercompany balances and other balance sheet items, calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP;

provided, that Adjusted EBITDA shall be calculated so as to exclude the effect of any gain or loss for such period that represents after-tax gains or losses attributable to any sale, transfer or other disposition of assets outside the ordinary course of business.
