AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 8, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) by and among The Boston Beer Company, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Purchaser”), Canoe Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Merger Sub”), Dogfish Head Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and, solely with respect to Section 8.01 and Article X, Samuel A. Calagione III (“Mr. Calagione”) and Mariah D. Calagione (“Ms. Calagione” and together with Mr. Calagione, the “Founders”). The Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company and the Founders are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually referred to herein as a “Party.” Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article XI below.

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Purchaser desires that the Company be merged with and into the Merger Sub, with the Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Purchaser;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of each of the Purchaser and the Merger Sub have approved and adopted this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the DGCL;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company has approved and adopted this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the DGCL and, upon the execution of this Agreement, shall recommend that the holders of the shares of the outstanding capital stock of the Company approve and adopt this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser is entering into a Unit Purchase Agreement with DFH Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “DFH Investors Unit Purchase Agreement”), and a Unit Purchase Agreement with Dogfish East of the Mississippi LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and Founders (the “EOM Unit Purchase Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, as of the Effective Time (as defined below), the Company shall merge with and into the Merger Sub (the “Merger”), whereupon the separate existence of the Company shall cease, and the Merger Sub shall be the surviving entity (the “Surviving Company”).

(b) The Merger shall become effective at such time as set forth in the Certificate of Merger as duly filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware pursuant to Section 1.03 below (the “Effective Time”).

(c) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall succeed to all of the assets, rights, privileges, powers and franchises and be subject to all of the liabilities, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Company and the Merger Sub, all as provided under the DGCL.

(d) At the Effective Time, (a) the certificate of incorporation of the Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof or as provided by applicable Law, and (b) the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company or as provided by applicable Law.

(e) The directors and officers of the Merger Sub, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Company until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company. The directors and officers of the Company shall be deemed to have fully resigned from all positions in the Company as of the Effective Time.

Section 1.02 Conversion Terms. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or any Stockholder, the following shall occur:

(a) Treatment of Shares. Each share of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and extinguished and each Stockholder shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of an aggregate number of shares of the Purchaser’s Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Shares”) as calculated pursuant to Section 1.06 (the “Merger Consideration).”

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock. To the extent applicable, each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company as treasury stock shall be canceled and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Stock. Each share of common stock of the Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Company.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Common Stock. The consideration paid in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Common Stock (including any rights to receive accrued but unpaid dividends), and, from and after the Effective Time, the holders of certificates representing

ownership of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Certificates”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares (including any rights to receive any accrued but unpaid dividends or any liquidation preference on such shares, if any). At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Company of the Company’s Common Stock. If, after the Effective Time, the Certificates formerly representing ownership of the Company’s Common Stock are presented to the Purchaser or the Surviving Company for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.02.

(e) Letters of Transmittal. Not later than five (5) days following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to each holder of record of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock (each, a “Stockholder” and collectively, the “Stockholders”) a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Letter of Transmittal”). Subject to Section 1.03, as soon as practical following receipt thereof, each Stockholder shall surrender to the Company the Certificates, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, representing the Common Stock held by such Stockholder, and shall deliver to Company a Letter of Transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions therein and any other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions. Promptly after the Closing and delivery of the relevant documents referenced in the preceding sentence by a Stockholder, the Surviving Company shall, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, deliver to such Stockholder its Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration to which such Stockholder is entitled under Section 1.06, subject to any applicable withholding Tax requirements. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Stockholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate shall represent solely the right to receive a Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Common Stock it theretofore represented shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.02(a), without interest, and neither the Surviving Company nor the Purchaser shall be required to pay the holder thereof shares of Class A Common Stock of the Purchaser to which such Stockholder would otherwise have been entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then, upon the making of an affidavit of such fact by the Stockholder claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the providing of an indemnity by such Stockholder in favor of the Purchaser and the Surviving Company against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Surviving Company shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Common Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by Section 1.06, subject to any applicable withholding Tax requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party shall be liable to any Person in respect of any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 1.03 Transactions to be Effected at the Closing. At the Closing:

(a) the Company and the Purchaser shall cause a certificate of merger to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, in the form and substance as may be agreed by the Parties prior to the Closing (the “Certificate of Merger”), and make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with the Merger;

(b) the Company shall deliver to Purchaser copies of the Letters of Transmittal from Stockholders holding one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, duly completed and validly executed;

(d) Purchaser shall pay, on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Closing Transaction Expenses; and

(e) Purchaser shall provide to the Company evidence that each Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration (calculated as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.06) has been delivered to Stockholders, except for the Escrow Shares which Purchaser shall deliver pursuant to the terms of the Computershare Escrow Agreement;

(f) the Parties shall make such other deliveries as are required by Sections 2.01 and 2.02.

Section 1.04 Escrow.

(a) At the Closing, the Purchaser shall hold, or shall cause to be held, such number of shares of Class A Shares of the Merger Consideration equal to the quotient of: (A) $40,000,000 and (B) the Signing Date Share Price (the “Escrow Shares”) in escrow pursuant to the terms of that certain Computershare Escrow Agreement by and among the Founders, the Purchaser and the escrow agent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Computershare Escrow Agreement”).

(b) The Escrow Shares shall remain in escrow until released to the Stockholders in accordance with the rules set forth in the following provisions of this Section 1.04.

(c) If Mr. Calagione remains employed by Purchaser on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, all Escrow Shares shall be released to the Stockholders promptly thereafter.

(d) If Mr. Calagione’s employment with Purchaser is terminated by Purchaser prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date for Cause, all Escrow Shares shall be released to the Stockholders promptly following the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date.

(e) If Mr. Calagione voluntarily terminates his employment with Purchaser prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date other than for Good Reason, all Escrow Shares shall be released to the Stockholders promptly following the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date.

(f) If Mr. Calagione’s employment with Purchaser is terminated prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (i) by Purchaser other than for Cause, (ii) by Mr. Calagione for Good Reason or (iii) as a result of Mr. Calagione’s death or Disability, all Escrow Shares shall be released to the Stockholders promptly following the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.

(g) All Escrow Shares shall be released to the Stockholders promptly upon the occurrence of a Change of Control.

(h) For purposes of this Section 1.04, the terms “Cause”, “Change of Control”, “Good Reason”, and “Disability” shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in Mr. Calagione’s Employment Agreement.

(i) The Purchaser and Mr. Calagione, as representative of the Stockholders in connection with the Computershare Escrow Agreement, agree to provide any joint written notice required to be delivered to the escrow agent in order to release the Escrow Shares pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.04.

(j) The Escrow Shares may also be used to satisfy the indemnification obligations of the Founders pursuant to the terms of the Indemnification Agreement.

Section 1.05 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely on fifth (5^th) Business Day following the satisfaction, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, of the closing conditions set forth in Article II hereof, or any other date as mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties. The date of the Closing is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.06 Calculation of Merger Consideration.

(a) Not less than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser the following by way of a Funds Flow Memorandum in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule I:

(i) the Company’s portion of the Company’s reasonable good faith estimate of the amount Cash of OCW and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Cash”);

(ii) the Company’s portion of the outstanding balance of any Indebtedness of OCW and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, as calculated pursuant to appropriate payoff letters from the holders of such Indebtedness, such payoff letters to be provided to Purchaser (the “Closing Indebtedness”); and

(iii) the Company’s portion of any and all Transaction Expenses incurred by OCW and its Subsidiaries that remain outstanding as of the Closing Date, as calculated pursuant to proper invoices representing such Transaction Expenses, such invoices to be provided to Purchaser (the “Closing Transaction Expenses”).

(b) On the Closing Date, the Merger Consideration to be delivered by Purchaser to Stockholders (or delivered pursuant to the terms of the Computershare Escrow Agreement) in accordance with Section 1.03 shall be a number of Class A Shares equal to the quotient of (A) the sum of $103,093,670 plus the Estimated Closing Cash minus the amount of each of the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Transaction Expenses and (B) a price per share equal to the ten (10) day volume-weighted average price of the Purchaser’s shares as traded on the New York Stock Exchange determined as of the Effective Date ($314.60) (the “Signing Date Share Price”).

(c) Within fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date, a representative of Stockholders shall deliver to the Purchaser a final amount of Cash of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (the “Final Closing Cash”). Such representative shall also provide to the Purchaser such data and information as the Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the determination of the Final Closing Cash. The Purchaser shall notify such representative of the Purchaser’s acceptance or dispute of such statement within five (5) days after the Purchaser’s receipt of such statement. In the event of a dispute with respect to the determination of the Final Closing Cash, the Purchaser and the representative of Stockholders shall attempt to reconcile their difference and any written agreement by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the parties.

(d) If the Final Closing Cash exceeds the Estimated Closing Cash (the “Excess Closing Cash”), the Purchaser shall deliver to each Stockholder its Pro Rata Share of a number of Class A Shares equal to the quotient of the (A) Excess Closing Cash and (B) the Signing Date Share Price. If the Estimated Closing Cash exceeds the Final Closing Cash (the “Deficit Closing Cash”), the Purchaser shall cancel a number of Class A Shares of each Stockholder equal to its Pro Rata Share of a number of Class A Shares equal to the quotient of (A) the Deficit Closing Cash and (B) the Signing Date Share Price.

Section 1.07 Withholding Tax. The Purchaser and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to reduce the number of Class A Shares of the Purchaser that would otherwise be included in the Merger Consideration by the number of Class A Shares that correspond in dollar value to the amount of Taxes that the Purchaser or the Surviving Company may be required to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration under any provision of Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, deducted and paid over to the Governmental Entity by the Purchaser or the Surviving Company, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as a cash payment to the Stockholders hereunder in satisfaction of the obligation to deliver a corresponding amount of the Merger Consideration to the affected Stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall (i) promptly provide the Founders with written notice of any amounts that any Person intends to deduct or withhold from the Merger Consideration reasonably in advance of (but in any event at least three (3) Business Days before) the payment thereof, (ii) cooperate in good faith with the Founders to eliminate or reduce any such withholding or deduction, and (iii) provide the Founders a reasonable opportunity to provide any applicable certificates, forms or other documentation that would eliminate or reduce the requirement to deduct or withhold under applicable Law.

Section 1.08 Tax Treatment. It is the Parties’ understanding and intention that the Merger will be characterized and treated for federal and applicable state income Tax purposes as reorganization pursuant to Code Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(D), and the Parties shall not take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause the Merger not to qualify for such treatment. To the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, the Purchaser and the Stockholders shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with this Section 1.08 and Section 10.01 and shall not take any position inconsistent with these provisions in any Tax Proceeding.

For the avoidance of doubt, the activities contemplated by Mr. Calagione pursuant to the International Brand License shall not constitute a violation of this Section 6.08(a).

(b) During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates to, directly or indirectly hire, solicit, entice, engage, or attempt to hire, solicit, entice or engage: (i) any employee or consultant of the Surviving Company, OCW and/or OCW’s Subsidiaries or encourage any such employee or consultant to leave such employment or hire any such employee, or engage any such consultant, who has left such employment, or engagement; and (ii) any customer or client of, or potential clients or customers of, the Purchaser, Surviving Company, OCW and/or OCW’s Subsidiaries.

(d) Each of the Restricted Parties acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.08 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Purchaser, the Surviving Company, OCW and/or OCW’s Subsidiaries and constitute a material inducement to the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.08 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform

such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law.

In addition, the Founders shall, in connection with their exercise of the Founders’ Buyback Option, reimburse the Company and the Purchaser for any amounts theretofore expended to address to the extent deemed appropriate by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion any environmental concerns relating to the Facilities, to the extent that such amounts are not otherwise reflected in the calculation of Fair Market Value or were not previously reimbursed pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement. As part of the process of exercising the Founders’ Buyback Option, the Founders shall be entitled to make offers of employment to employees of the Company then employed at the Facilities, restrictions on such offers contained in the Founders’ respective employment agreements notwithstanding.

Section 6.10 Employees and Employee Benefits.

Purchaser and its Affiliates, including the Company, shall treat, and shall cause each benefit plan, program, practice, policy and arrangement sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates after the Closing and in which any Continuing Employee (or the spouse, domestic partner or dependent of any Continuing Employee) participates or becomes eligible to participate (each, a “Purchaser Benefit Plan”) to treat, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting, and accrual of and entitlement to benefits (but not for accrual of benefits under any “defined benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA) and all other purposes, all service with the Company and its Affiliates

(and predecessor employers to the extent the Company or any of its Affiliates, or the corresponding Benefit Plan, provides past service credit) as service with Purchaser and its Affiliates. Purchaser and its Affiliates, including the Company, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Purchaser Benefit Plan that is a welfare plan, within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, (i) to waive any and all eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, actively-at-work requirements and pre-existing condition limitations and exclusions with respect to each Continuing Employee and his or her spouse, domestic partner and dependents to the extent waived, satisfied or not included under the analogous Benefit Plan, and (ii) to recognize for each Continuing Employee and his or her spouse, domestic partner and dependents for purposes of applying annual deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums under such Purchaser Benefit Plan any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses paid by the Continuing Employee and his or her spouse, domestic partner and dependents under an analogous Benefit Plan during the plan year for such Benefit Plan in which occurs the later of the Closing Date and the date on which such Continuing Employee (or such spouse, domestic partner or dependent) becomes covered under such Purchaser Benefit Plan. Nothing in this Section 6.10, whether express or implied, shall confer upon any Continuing Employee any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11 Executory Period Covenant.

(a) Each Party hereto shall, as promptly as possible, (i) make, or cause or be made, all filings and submissions (including those under the HSR Act, which filings shall be made no later than five (5) Business Days after the date hereof) required under any Law applicable to such Party or any of its Affiliates; and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders and approvals, and expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods, from all Governmental Entities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. Each Party shall cooperate fully with the other Party and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders, approvals, and expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that nothing in this Section 6.11 or any other provision of this Agreement shall require the Purchaser to divest any of its business or operations and the Purchaser shall not be obligated to do so even if Purchaser is required to do so in order to avoid a challenge to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents under the relevant antitrust Laws or as otherwise requested by a Governmental Entity. In the event the Purchaser is required to divest any of its business or operations to consummate the transactions hereunder, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in the entirety and no Party shall have any obligations of any kind hereunder.

(b) The Parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders, approvals, or expirations of any applicable waiting periods, including but not limited to entering into any transaction, or any agreement to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition), that might reasonably be expected to make it more difficult, or to increase the time required, to obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the Parties’ undertakings pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above, each of the Parties hereto shall use all reasonable best efforts to:

(i) respond to any inquiries by any Governmental Entity regarding antitrust or other matters with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

(ii) avoid the imposition of any order or the taking of any action that would restrain, alter or enjoin the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document; and

(iii) in the event any objections are asserted from any Governmental Entity adversely affecting the ability of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document has been issued, each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) oppose or defend against any action to prevent or enjoin consummation of this Agreement, and/or (ii) take such action as reasonably necessary to overturn any regulatory action by any Government Entity to block consummation of this Agreement (and the transactions contemplated herein), including by defending any suit, action, or other legal proceeding brought by any Governmental Entity in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated, overturned or terminated, including by appeal if necessary, in order to resolve any such objections or challenge as such Governmental Entity may have to such transactions so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) All analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals made by or on behalf of any Party before any Governmental Entity or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Entity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any interactions between the Company, OCW, or the Founders on one hand and any Governmental Entity on the other hand in the ordinary course of business, any disclosure which is not permitted by Law or any disclosure containing confidential information) shall be disclosed to the other Parties hereunder in advance of any filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the Parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals. Each Party shall give notice to the other party with respect to any planned or scheduled meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Entity or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Entity, and provide such notice with sufficient time to provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact.

Section 12.04 Assignment; Successors in Interest; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided herein, the rights and obligations of this Agreement may not be assigned or delegated by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, that the Purchaser may at any time after the Closing assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations to any Affiliate of the Purchaser. Nothing expressed or implied herein is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any right, remedy, claim, obligation or liability under or by reason of this Agreement, or result in such Person being deemed a third-party beneficiary hereof.

Section 12.05 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12.06 References. The table of contents and the Section and other headings and subheadings contained in this Agreement and the exhibits hereto are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the Parties, and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibit hereto. All references to days or months shall be deemed references to calendar days or months. All references to “$” shall be deemed references to United States dollars. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to a “Section,” “Exhibit,” or “Schedule” shall be deemed to refer to a Section of this Agreement, exhibit to this Agreement or a schedule to this Agreement, as applicable.

Section 12.07 Interpretation; Construction. Unless the context otherwise requires, words importing the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa. The use in this Agreement of the term “including” (whether or not followed by the words “without limitation” or “but not limited to”) means “including, without limitation.” The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder”, “hereby”, “hereto”, and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Disclosure Schedule and exhibits, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, and not to any particular article, section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement. All references to articles, sections, subsections, clauses, paragraphs, schedules and exhibits mean such provisions of this Agreement and the Disclosure Schedule, and exhibits attached to this Agreement, except where otherwise stated. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party. All references to statutory or indefinite survival periods following the Closing refer to the longest survival period allowed under 10 Del. C. Section 8106(c).

Section 12.08 Specific Performance. This Agreement is intended to be legally binding and specifically enforceable pursuant to its terms and Purchaser, the Stockholders and the Company would be irreparably harmed if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that monetary damages would not provide adequate remedy in such event. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy to which a non-breaching Party may be entitled at law, a non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief without the posting of any bond or other security to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, and the breaching Party waives the defense that an adequate remedy at Law may exist.

Section 12.09 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by the Purchaser and the Company (prior to the Closing) or the Founders (following the Closing). No waiver of any provision hereunder or of any breach or default thereof shall extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default, and no failure or delay to enforce, or partial enforcement of, any provision hereof shall operate as a waiver of such provisions or any other provision.

Section 12.10 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein and the schedules and exhibits hereto (including, without limitation, the Disclosure Schedule) contain the complete agreement between the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

Section 12.11 Conflict between Transaction Documents. To the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby, this Agreement shall govern and control.

Section 12.12 Counterparts. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

Section 12.13 Governing Law. All matters relating to the interpretation, construction, validity and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 12.14 Jurisdiction.

(a) Any suit, action or proceeding against the Stockholders, the Purchaser or the Company or arising out of, or with respect to, this Agreement or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of Delaware (the “Designated Courts”), and the Parties hereto accept the exclusive jurisdiction of the Designated Courts for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding.

(b) In addition, each Party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any judgment entered by any of the Designated Courts and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any suit, action or proceedings brought in the Designated Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION, ACTION, PROCEEDING, CROSS-CLAIM, OR COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY COURT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH (i) THIS AGREEMENT OR THE VALIDITY, PERFORMANCE, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR (ii) THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, AUTHORIZATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

Section 12.15 Cooperation Following the Closing. Following the Closing, each of the Parties shall deliver to the others such further information and documents and shall execute and deliver to the others such further instruments and agreements as another Party shall reasonably request to consummate or confirm the transactions provided for in this Agreement, to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement or to assure to the another Party the benefits of this Agreement.

Section 12.16 Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute the Parties as joint venturers, alter egos, partners or participants in an unincorporated business or other separate entity, nor, in any manner create any principal agent, fiduciary or other special relationship between or among the Parties.

The undersigned has the full power, right, and authority to transfer the Shares pursuant to the Merger and to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal.

(e)

The undersigned understands that completion and delivery of this Letter of Transmittal constitutes the undersigned’s (i) agreement to the terms of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and all other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) irrevocable constitution and appointment of any officer of the Company as its attorney to transfer the Shares owned by the undersigned on the books of the Company, with full power of substitution in the premises, and (iii) irrevocable waiver of any and all appraisal, dissenters’ or similar rights or claims that the undersigned may have, now or at any time in the future under the Delaware General Corporation Law, all other applicable law or otherwise arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or otherwise relating to the undersigned’s ownership of the Shares.

Release

In consideration of the applicable Merger Consideration to which the undersigned is entitled under and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, effective upon the Closing Date and the Effective Time, the undersigned on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns

The undersigned hereby represents that it has not assigned, transferred, or otherwise hypothecated any of the claims and other items that are released in this Letter of Transmittal. The Releasor hereby represents that it has not, and hereby agrees that it will not, institute any lawsuit of any kind whatsoever, or file any complaint or charge, against the Releasees, under any federal, state or local statute, rule, regulation or principle of common law or equity with respect to the matters released hereby.

4.	Waiver of Dissenters’ Rights

Completion and delivery of this Letter of Transmittal to the Purchaser constitutes a waiver by the undersigned of any dissenters’ rights with respect to any shares of Stock owned by the undersigned under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, whether or not the undersigned has previously made a written demand upon the Company or any other person. If a notice of intent to dissent and demand payment of fair value has been filed with the Company with respect to any Shares surrendered herewith, the undersigned hereby revokes such notice and elects not to demand payment of fair value of the Shares, to the full extent permitted by law. THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS TO DISSENT AND DEMAND PAYMENT OF THE FAIR VALUE OF THEIR SHARES PURSUANT TO THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW, AS AMENDED, OR OTHERWISE.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION

Under United States federal income tax law, United States Holders (as defined below) of stock who are receiving any consideration in connection with the Merger are required to provide his, her or its current Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”). If such holder is an individual, the TIN is his or her social security number. If the holder does not provide the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, the holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, and any consideration such holder receives in the Merger may be subject to backup withholding at the applicable rate (currently 24%). If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund from the Internal Revenue Service may be obtained. To prevent backup withholding on any payment made to a holder of stock in connection with the Merger Agreement, the holder is required to notify the Purchaser of his or her correct TIN by completing the enclosed Form W-9 and certifying under penalties of perjury, that the TIN provided on Form W-9 is correct. In addition, the holder must date and sign as indicated. If the holder does not provide the Purchaser with a properly completed IRS Form W-9 or otherwise establish an exemption, the Purchaser may backup withhold a portion of all cash payments made to the holder.

Certain holders (including, among others, corporations and certain foreign holders) are exempt recipients not subject to these backup withholding requirements. See the enclosed copy of the Form W-9 and the General Instructions to Form W-9. To avoid possible erroneous backup withholding, exempt United States Holders, while not required to file Form W-9, should complete and return the Form W-9.

To prevent backup withholding, holders that are not United States Holders should (i) submit a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or other applicable IRS form W-8, to the Purchaser, certifying under penalties of perjury to the holder’s foreign status or (ii) otherwise establish an exemption. IRS Forms W-8BEN and W-8BEN-E, or other applicable forms, may be obtained from the Purchaser.

For purposes of these instructions, a “United States Holder” is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident alien of the United States, (ii) a corporation (including an entity taxable as a corporation) or partnership created under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source or (iv) a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

See the enclosed “General Instructions” on Form W-9 for additional information and instructions.

ESCROW AGREEMENT

This ESCROW AGREEMENT (as the same may be amended or modified from time to time pursuant hereto, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [ ], 2019, by and among Samuel A. Calagione III (“Representative”), as the representative of the former equityholders (the “Equityholders”) of Dogfish Head Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (“Dogfish Holding”), The Boston Beer Company, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Purchaser”, and together with Representative, sometimes referred to individually as “Party” or collectively as the “Parties”), and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”).

WHEREAS, this Agreement is entered into in connection with (i) that certain Merger Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2019, by and among Purchaser, Canoe Acquisition Corp., Dogfish Holding, and Representative and Mariah D. Calagione, each in their individual capacities, (ii) that certain Membership Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2019, by and among Purchaser, Dogfish East of the Mississippi LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and Representative and Mariah D. Calagione, each in their individual capacities, and (iii) that certain Indemnification Agreement, dated as of [ _], 2019, by and among Purchaser and Representative and Mariah D. Calagione in their individual capacities (the “Underlying Agreements”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to deposit in escrow certain securities and wish such deposit to be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Appointment. The Parties hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2. Escrow Asset.

(a) Purchaser agrees to deposit with the Escrow Agent [ _] shares of Purchaser’s Common Stock (Purchaser’s Common Stock, along with any dividends with respect thereto the “Escrow Asset”) on the date hereof. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Asset as a book position registered in the name of Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as Escrow Agent.

(b) The Escrow Agent does not own or have any interest in the Escrow Asset but is serving as escrow holder, having only possession thereof and agreeing to hold and distribute the Escrow Asset in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

i. During the term of this Agreement, Equityholders shall have the right to exercise any voting rights with respect to any of the Escrow Shares. Representative, on behalf of Equityholders, shall direct the Escrow Agent in writing as to the exercise of any such voting rights, and the Escrow Agent shall comply, to the extent it is able to do so, with any such directions of Representative. In the absence of such directions, the Escrow Agent shall not vote any of the shares comprising the Escrow Shares.

ii. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of the common stock of Purchaser, other than a regular cash dividend, the Escrow Asset under Section 2(a) above shall be appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis.

(d) Dividends and Investment of Dividend Proceeds

i. Any dividends paid and the interest earned thereon with respect to the Escrow Asset shall be deemed part of the Escrow Asset and be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be deposited in a bank account and be deposited in one or more interest-bearing accounts to be maintained by the Escrow Agent in the name of the

Escrow Agent as agent for the Parties as more fully described in Section 2(d)(ii) herein. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution of the funds that may result from any deposit made by Escrow Agent in accordance with this paragraph, including any losses resulting from a default by any bank, financial institution or other third party.

ii. Escrow Agent offers the custody of dividend funds placed, at the direction of the Parties, in bank account deposits. Escrow Agent will not provide any investment advice in connection with this service. During the term of this Agreement, the dividend funds shall be held in a bank account, and shall be deposited in one or more interest-bearing accounts (which shall not be time deposits) to be maintained by Escrow Agent in the name of Escrow Agent at one or more of the banks listed in Schedule 3 to this Agreement, each of which shall be a commercial bank with capital exceeding $500,000,000 (each such bank an “Approved Bank”). The deposit of the dividend funds in any of the Approved Banks shall be deemed to be at the direction of the Parties. At any time and from time to time, the Parties may direct Escrow Agent by joint written notice from Purchaser and Representative (i) to deposit the dividend funds with a specific Approved Bank, (ii) not to deposit any new amounts in any Approved Bank specified in the notice and/or (iii) to withdraw all or any of the dividend funds that may then be deposited with any Approved Bank specified in the notice. With respect to any withdrawal notice, Escrow Agent will endeavor to withdraw such amount specified in the notice as soon as reasonably practicable and the Parties acknowledge and agree that such specified amount remains at the sole risk of the Parties prior to and after such withdrawal. Such withdrawn amounts shall be deposited with any other Approved Bank or any Approved Bank specified by the Parties in the notice.

iii. Escrow Agent shall pay interest on the dividend funds at a rate equal to 50% of the then current 1-month U.S. Treasury Bill rate. Such interest shall accrue to the Escrow Asset within three (3) Business Days (as defined in Section 10 hereof) of each month end. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to retain for its own benefit, as partial compensation for its services hereunder, any amount of interest earned on the dividend funds that is not payable pursuant to this Section 2(d)(iii).

3. Disposition and Termination. (a) As soon as practicable (but no later than three (3) Business Days) after the date that is ten (10) years following the date of this Agreement (the “Escrow Termination Date”), the Escrow Agent shall release the remaining portion of the Escrow Asset less any Reserved Portion (as defined herein) to Representative as provided in a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent from the Parties. Any Reserved Portion shall continue to be held in escrow under this Agreement by the Escrow Agent until the claims contained in any Claim Notice(s) described in Section 3(b) below become resolved, even if such claims have not been finally resolved prior to the Escrow Termination Date. After the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall only release all or any amount of the Reserved Portion to Purchaser or Representative from the Escrow Asset pursuant to a written instruction delivered in accordance with Section 3(f) hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if on or before the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Agent has received from Purchaser a notice (a “Claim Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the nature and basis for a claim for indemnification pursuant to the relevant Underlying Agreements (as defined below), including the section(s) of the relevant Underlying Agreements supporting its claim, and the facts and circumstances supporting its claim, and the dollar amount of the claim, or if such amount is unknown, Purchaser’s good faith reasonable estimate of the dollar amount of such claim, in each case also expressed as a number of shares of Purchaser common stock calculated pursuant to the terms of the Underlying Agreements (the “Claimed Amount”), then the Escrow Agent shall continue to keep in escrow an amount of shares equal to the Claimed Amount set forth in such Claim Notice(s) (the “Reserved Portion”) until such Claimed Amount is resolved as provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall survive the Escrow Termination Date.

(c) At the time of delivery of any Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such Claim Notice shall be delivered by Purchaser to Representative in accordance with the notice provisions contained in the relevant Underlying Agreements.

(d) Unless Representative delivers to the Escrow Agent a notice objecting in good faith to the creation of the Reserved Portion (or any amount thereof), or the claim contained in the Claim Notice (the “Contest Notice”) within thirty (30) calendar days of Representative receiving the relevant Claim Notice pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof, the Escrow Agent shall, upon written request from Purchaser, promptly liquidate that portion of the Escrow Asset equal to

the Claimed Amount as set forth in such Claim Notice and deliver such amount to Purchaser after prior written notice to Representative. Escrow Agent shall continue to hold in escrow any contested Claimed Amount until release is otherwise authorized pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof. If any Contest Notice includes an objection to only a portion of a Claimed Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release to Purchaser an amount from the Escrow Asset equal to the portion of the Claimed Amount in relation to which there is no objection after prior written notice to Representative.

(e) In the event that Representative shall deliver a Contest Notice in accordance with Section 3(d) hereof, Representative and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the Contest Notice to Purchaser in an effort to settle the claim contained in the relevant Claim Notice or agree on the appropriate Reserved Portion, if any, to be applied against the Escrow Asset pursuant to the relevant Claim Notice. The Escrow Agent shall make payment with respect any Claimed Amount subject to such Contest Notice only in accordance with: (i) any joint written instructions executed by both Representative and Purchaser; or (ii) a written notification from Purchaser of a final and non-appealable decision, order, judgment or decree of a court of competition jurisdiction or an arbitrator, which notification shall attach a copy of such final and non-appealable decision, order, judgment or decree (a “Final Order”). The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such joint written instructions or Final Order and upon receipt thereof shall promptly liquidate and distribute that portion of the remaining Escrow Asset as instructed in such joint written instructions or Final Order.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time prior to the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Agent receives joint written instructions from Representative and Purchaser, or their respective successors or assigns, as to the disbursement of all or any portion of the Escrow Asset, in accordance with the Underlying Agreements or otherwise, the Escrow Agent shall disburse such amount pursuant to such joint written instructions. The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to follow any directions set forth in any joint written instructions unless and until the Escrow Agent is satisfied, in its reasonable discretion, that the persons executing said joint written instructions are authorized to do so.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any amount to be released at any time or under any circumstances exceeds the then current market value of the remaining Escrow Asset, the Escrow Agent shall release the remaining portion of the Escrow Asset and shall have no liability or responsibility to the Parties for any deficiency.

(h) Upon delivery of any and all remaining Escrow Asset by the Escrow Agent, this Agreement shall terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 6 and Section 7.

4. Escrow Agent. (a) The Escrow Agent shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly set forth in this agreement on its part to be performed, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties or obligations of any kind shall be implied nor read into this Agreement against or on the part of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent accepts the duties and responsibilities under this Agreement as agent only, and no trust is intended to be, or is or will be, created hereby and the Escrow Agent shall owe no duties hereunder as trustee. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document between the Parties, in connection herewith, if any, including without limitation, the Underlying Agreements, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to determine if any person or entity has complied with any such agreements, nor shall any additional obligations of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of such agreements, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement, those of the Underlying Agreements, any schedule or exhibit attached to this Agreement, or any other agreement among the Parties, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control only in connection with any matter related to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, document, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Party or Parties without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any Party, any beneficiary or other person for refraining from acting upon any instruction setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Asset, or any portion thereof, unless such instruction shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 10 below and the Escrow Agent has been able to satisfy any applicable security procedures as may be required hereunder and as set forth in Section 10. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Asset nor shall the Escrow Agent have any duty or obligation to confirm or verify the accuracy or correctness of any amounts deposited with it hereunder.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to either Party. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through affiliates or agents. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or in reasonable reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain or believe there is some ambiguity as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any Party hereto which, in its opinion, are ambiguous or conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be given a direction in writing by the Parties which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Escrow Agent or by a final and non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties agree to pursue any redress or recourse in connection with any dispute without making the Escrow Agent a party to the same.

5. Succession. (a) The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving thirty (30) days advance notice in writing of such resignation to the Parties specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. If the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent within relevant jurisdiction or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the Parties hereto. Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires shall be to hold the Escrow Asset (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same to a designated substitute escrow agent, if any, or in accordance with the directions of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, at which time of delivery Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereunder. In accordance with Section 7 below, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to withhold any cash in its possession or an amount of shares equal to any dollar amount due and owing to the Escrow Agent, plus any costs and expenses the Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the termination of the Agreement divided by the closing price per share on the New York Stock Exchange for Purchaser’s common stock on the immediately preceding trading day.

(b) Any entity into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity to which all or substantially all the escrow business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act.

6. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services under this agreement as Escrow Agent and for reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, in the amounts and payable as set forth on Schedule 2. All amounts owing on Schedule 2 shall be paid by Purchaser. The Escrow Agent shall also be entitled to payment of any amounts to which the Escrow Agent is entitled under the indemnification provisions contained herein as set forth in Section 7. If payment is not received when due, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to draw down on the Escrow Asset in order to effect such payment and may sell, liquidate, convey or otherwise dispose of any investment for such purpose. This Section 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent for any reason.

7. Indemnity. (a) Subject to Section 7(c) below, Escrow Agent shall be liable for any losses, damages, claims, liabilities, penalties, judgments, settlements, actions, suits, proceedings, litigations, investigations, costs or expenses (including without limitation, the fees and expenses of outside counsel and experts and their staffs and all expenses of document location, duplication and shipment)(collectively “Losses”) only to the extent such Losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a result of Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that any liability of Escrow Agent will be limited to direct damages sustained by a Party to this Agreement which in the aggregate shall not exceed the value of the Escrow Asset held by the Escrow Agent.

(b) The Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against, and Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for, any and all Losses arising out of or attributable to Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement or this appointment, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any Losses or enforcing this Agreement, except to the extent of liability described in Section 7(a) above.

(c) Without limiting the Parties’ indemnification obligations set forth in Section 7(b) above, neither the Parties nor the Escrow Agent shall be liable for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, loss of anticipated profits, occasioned by a breach of any provision of this Agreement even if apprised of the possibility of such damages.

(d) This Section 7 shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent for any reason.

8. Patriot Act Disclosure/Taxpayer Identification Numbers/Tax Reporting.¹

(a) Patriot Act Disclosure. Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) requires the Escrow Agent to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Escrow Agent’s identity verification procedures require the Escrow Agent to obtain information which may be used to confirm the Parties identity including without limitation name, address and organizational documents (“identifying information”). The Parties agree to provide the Escrow Agent with and consent to the Escrow Agent obtaining from third parties any such identifying information required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided by the Escrow Agent.

(b) Certification and Tax Reporting. The Parties, if applicable, have provided the Escrow Agent with their respective fully executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8, or W-9 and/or other required documentation. All interest or other income earned under this Agreement shall be allocated to Representative and reported, as and to the extent required by law, by the Escrow Agent to the IRS, or any other taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income earned from the Escrow Asset by Purchaser whether or not said income has been distributed during such year. Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes it deems appropriate in the absence of proper tax documentation or as required by law, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities. The Parties hereby represent and warrant to the Escrow Agent that (i) there is no sale or transfer of an United States Real Property Interest as defined under IRC Section 897(c) in the underlying transaction giving rise to this Agreement; and (ii) such underlying transaction does not constitute an installment sale requiring any tax reporting or withholding of imputed interest or original issue discount to the IRS or other taxing authority.

9. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and except for communications from the Parties setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or in any way related to the full or partial transfer or distribution of the Escrow Asset, including but not limited to transfer instructions (all of which shall be specifically governed by Section 10 below), shall be deemed to be duly given after it has been received and the receiving party has had a reasonable time to act upon such communication if it is sent or served:

(a) by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including e-mail);

(b) by overnight courier; or

to the appropriate notice address set forth below or at such other address as any party hereto may have furnished to the other parties in writing by registered mail, return receipt requested.

A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right to enforce any term of this Agreement.

(a) It is the practice and policy of the Company to provide its employees with Proprietary Information regarding the business of the Company, to a greater extent than other companies, in order to achieve success as a company, and in order to assist Mr. Calagione in achieving success as an employee. Such Proprietary Information concerns, among other things, information and data relating to geographic territories and customers throughout the areas in which the Company conducts its business. Accordingly, the geographic areas and proscribed activities specified in Section 4 hereof are reasonable, and no greater than necessary, for the protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests;

(b) Mr. Calagione received this Agreement for his consideration by the earlier of Mr. Calagione’s receipt of a formal offer of employment or ten (10) business days before Mr. Calagione’s start date; and

(c) Mr. Calagione acknowledges, and the Company and Mr. Calagione agree, that Mr. Calagione shall have the right to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement.

11. Works Made for Hire. Mr. Calagione agrees that all works of authorship, literary works (including computer programs), audiovisual works, translations, compilations, and any other written materials, including, but not limited to, copyrightable works (the “Works”) which are originated or produced by Mr. Calagione (solely or jointly with others) during his working hours with the Company, in whole or in part, within the scope of, or in connection with, his employment by the Company will be considered “works made for hire” as defined by the U.S. Copyright Act (17 USC §101, as amended). All such works made for hire are and will be the exclusive property of the Company and Mr. Calagione agrees to treat any such work as Proprietary Information. In the event that any Works are not deemed to be “works made for hire,” Mr. Calagione hereby assigns all of his right, title, and interest in and to such Works, including but not limited to, the copyrights therein, to the Company, and agrees to execute any additional agreements or documents the Company reasonably determines are necessary to effectuate the assignment of his right, title and interest in such Works to the Company. This Section 11 notwithstanding, the books and other publications authored or co-authored by Mr. Calagione before the Effective Date that are listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto will remain Mr. Calagione’s and, if applicable, his co-author’s, property and will not be considered a “Work Made for Hire.” Books and other publications authored or co-authored by Mr. Calagione while he remains an employee of the Company will be subject to the provisions of this Section 11 and such applicable policies, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board.

12. Non-Disparagement. The parties to this Agreement (including the Parent) agree that during Mr. Calagione’s employment by the Company, and during the Restricted Period and at any time thereafter, the parties shall not make any statement, verbally or in writing, or via social media, or take any action, which has the purpose or effect of disparaging the other, including their respective companies, or employees or products, to any person or entity who does, or could reasonably be expected to do, business with the parties, to the media, or to their respective employees or former employees.

13. No Conflicting Obligation. Mr. Calagione hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Mr. Calagione (a) is not presently under and will not in the future become subject to any obligation to any person, entity or prior employer which is inconsistent or in conflict with this Agreement or which would prevent, limit or impair in any way Mr. Calagione’s performance of his employment with the Company, and (b) has not disclosed and will not disclose to the Company, nor use for the Company’s benefit, any confidential information and trade secrets of any other person or entity, including any prior employer.

14. Training Expense. The Company will provide Mr. Calagione with training to assist Mr. Calagione in the performance of his duties as an employee of the Company, including but not limited to the provision of training materials, training courses and supervision by experienced employees of the Company. Mr. Calagione agrees, in the event of Mr. Calagione’s voluntary separation of his employment or the termination of employment by the Company for cause (as defined above), to pay the Company (unless otherwise agreed upon at time of training) $1,000 for each day of training and/or any orientation course provided or paid for by the Company to Mr. Calagione within the last five (5) years prior to the date of termination as a means of reimbursing the Company for such training. Such payment shall be deducted from any monies owed to Mr. Calagione at the time of his termination, including wages, bonuses, and/or commissions, and the balance, if any, owed by Mr. Calagione shall be paid by Mr. Calagione promptly as may be required by law. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity which the Company may have for Mr. Calagione’s breach of this Agreement.

15. Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between the Company and Mr. Calagione with respect to the subject matter contained herein and may be altered, amended or superseded only by an agreement in writing, signed by both parties. No action or course of conduct shall constitute a waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, unless such waiver is specified in writing, and then only to the extent so specified. A waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement or of such terms and conditions on any other occasion.

16. Severability. Mr. Calagione and the Company hereby expressly agree that the provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision or covenant herein contained is invalid, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and any such provision or covenant shall nevertheless be enforceable as to the balance thereof to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. It is the intent of the parties that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is overly broad in any respect, that such court blue-pencil such provision and enforce the provision to the extent the court determines is reasonable.

17. At-Will Status; Binding Effect; Benefit. Mr. Calagione is at all times an “at-will” employee of the Company, and nothing herein shall be construed to vary the “at-will” status of your employment. Sections 3 through 12 and of this Agreement shall survive its termination and the termination of Mr. Calagione’s employment by the Company.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be considered and have the force and effect of an original.

19. Governing Law. The Company is incorporated in, and has its headquarters located in, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and Mr. Calagione’s employment with the Company is administered from the Company’s Massachusetts headquarters. Accordingly, the validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Any dispute between Mr. Calagione and the Company shall be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts of the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to whose jurisdiction Mr. Calagione hereby agrees to submit; provided, however, that if the dispute concerns the restrictive covenant set forth in Section 6, the action shall be venued in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, or, if applicable, the federal district court in Boston, Massachusetts. This Agreement shall be considered a sealed instrument under Massachusetts law.

(a) An Indemnified Person seeking indemnification hereunder shall give a written notice to the Founders (a “Notice of Claim”) specifying (i) in reasonable detail the nature and basis for a claim for indemnification pursuant to the relevant Acquisition Agreement(s), including the section(s) of the relevant Acquisition Agreement(s) supporting its claim, and the facts and circumstances supporting its claim, and (ii) the dollar amount of the claim, or if such amount is unknown, a good faith reasonable estimate of the dollar amount of the claim. The Notice of Claim shall be provided to the Founders as soon as practicable after the Indemnified Person becomes aware that it has incurred or suffered any Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the survival periods set forth in Section 3, any failure to provide the Founders with a Notice of Claim, or any failure to provide a Notice of Claim in a timely manner as aforesaid, shall not relieve the Founders from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement except to the extent that the ability of the Founders to defend such claim is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such Notice of Claim. If the Notice of Claim relates to a Third Party Claim, the procedures set forth in Section 5(b) below shall be applicable. If the Notice of Claim does not relate to a Third Party Claim, the Founders shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such Notice of Claim to object to any of the subject matter and any of the amounts of the Losses set forth in the Notice of Claim, as the case may be, by delivering written notice of objection thereof to the Indemnified Person (a “Notice of Objection”).

(i) If the Founders fail to send a Notice of Objection within such thirty (30) day period, the Founders shall be deemed to have agreed to the Notice of Claim and shall be obligated to pay to the Indemnified Person the portion of the amount specified in the Notice of Claim.

(ii) If the Founders send a timely Notice of Objection, the Founders and the Indemnified Person shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to settle (without an obligation to settle) such claim for indemnification. If the Founders and the Indemnified Person do not settle such dispute within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Person’s receipt of the Founders’ notice of objection, the Founders and the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to seek enforcement of their respective rights under this Agreement.

(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Claim for a claim made or alleged by any claimant other than an Indemnified Person (a “Third Party Claim”), the Founders shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Person, to assume and conduct, at the Founders’ sole expense, the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person; provided that (i) the Founders have sufficient financial resources, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result, (ii) the Third Party Claim solely seeks (and continues to solely seek) monetary damages and does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement action or seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Person, (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, no conflict of interest arises that would prohibit a single counsel from representing both the Founders and the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim, and (iv) the Indemnified Person has not determined, in good faith, that there is a reasonable possibility that such Third Party Claim may adversely affect it, its business relationships or any of its affiliates in any material respect other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Person may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Third Party Claim with its own counsel at its own expense; provided, however, that if (A) any of the conditions described in clauses (i)—(iv) above fails to occur or ceases to be satisfied, or (B) the Founders fail to take reasonable steps necessary to defend such Third Party Claim in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, then the Indemnified Person may assume and control its own defense using counsel of its own choosing. If the Founders elect not to defend the Indemnified Person with respect to such Third Party Claim, or fails to notify the Indemnified Person of such election within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Claim, the Indemnified Person shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter in such manner as it may deem reasonably appropriate. The Founders, if they have assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim that (1) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Person of a complete release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (2) grants any injunctive or equitable relief or (3) may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Person or any business thereof. The Indemnified Person, if it has assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim, may, without the prior written consent of the Founders, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim; provided, that any such settlement shall not be determinative of the Founders’ indemnification obligations hereunder; provided further that such Third Party Claim settlement does not grant any injunctive or equitable relief. Each of the Parties shall and shall cause their

affiliates (and their respective officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents) to, make available to the other(s) all relevant information in his or its possession relating to any such Third Party Claim which is being defended by the other Party and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate in the defense thereof. The party controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim shall keep the non-controlling party advised of the status of such Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith the recommendations made by the non-controlling party with respect thereto.

6. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration under the Merger Agreement.

7. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by Boston Beer and the Founders. No waiver of any provision hereunder or of any breach or default thereof shall extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default, and no failure or delay to enforce, or partial enforcement of, any provision hereof shall operate as a waiver of such provisions or any other provision.

(c) Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein contain the complete agreement between Boston Beer and the Founders with respect to indemnification obligations arising out of the EOM UPA and the Merger Agreement and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

(d) Counterparts. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

(e) Governing Law. All matters relating to the interpretation, construction, validity and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(f) Jurisdiction.

(iii) Any suit, action or proceeding against the Founders or Boston Beer arising out of, or with respect to, this Agreement or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of Delaware (the “Designated Courts”), and the Parties hereto accept the exclusive jurisdiction of the Designated Courts for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding.

(iv) In addition, each Party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any judgment entered by any of the Designated Courts and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any suit, action or proceedings brought in the Designated Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Such Proprietary Information concerns, among other things, information and data relating to geographic territories and customers throughout the areas in which the Company conducts its business. Accordingly, the geographic areas and proscribed activities specified in Section 4 hereof are reasonable, and no greater than necessary, for the protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests;

All such works made for hire are and will be the exclusive property of the Company and Ms. Calagione agrees to treat any such work as Proprietary Information. In the event that any Works are not deemed to be “works made for hire,” Ms. Calagione hereby assigns all of her right, title, and interest in and to such Works, including but not limited to, the copyrights herein, to the Company, and agrees to execute any additional agreements or documents the Company reasonably determines are necessary to effectuate the assignment of your right, title and interest in such Works to the Company. This Section 11 notwithstanding, the books and any other publications authored or co-authored by Ms. Calagione before the Effective Date that are listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto will remain Ms. Calagione’s and, if applicable, her co-author’s, property and will not be considered a “Work Made for Hire.” Books and other publications authored or co-authored by Ms. Calagione while she remains an employee of the Company will be subject to the provisions of this Section 11 and such applicable policies, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board.

The parties to this Agreement (including the Parent) agree that during Ms. Calagione’s employment by the Company, and during the Restricted Period and at any time hereafter, the parties shall not make any statement, verbally or in writing, or via social media, or take any action, which has the purpose or effect of disparaging the other, including their respective companies, or employees or products, to any person or entity who does, or could reasonably be expected to do, business with the parties, to the media, or to their respective employees or former employees.

13. No Conflicting Obligation. Ms. Calagione hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Ms. Calagione (a) is not presently under and will not in the future become subject to any obligation to any person, entity or prior employer which is inconsistent or in conflict with this Agreement or which would prevent, limit or impair in any way Ms. Calagione’s performance of her employment with the Company, and (b) has not disclosed and will not disclose to the Company, nor use for the Company’s benefit, any confidential information and trade secrets of any other person or entity, including any prior employer.

14. Training Expense. The Company will provide Ms. Calagione with training to assist Ms. Calagione in the performance of her duties as an employee of the Company, including but not limited to the provision of training materials, training courses and supervision by experienced employees of the Company. Ms. Calagione agrees, in the event of Ms. Calagione’s voluntary separation of her employment or the termination of employment by the Company for cause (as defined above), to pay the Company (unless otherwise agreed upon at time of training) $1,000 for each day of training and/or any orientation course provided or paid for by the Company to Ms. Calagione within the last five (5) years prior to the date of termination as a means of reimbursing the Company for such training. Such payment shall be deducted from any monies owed to Ms. Calagione at the time of her termination, including wages, bonuses, and/or commissions, and the balance, if any, owed by Ms. Calagione shall be paid by Ms. Calagione promptly as may be required by law. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity which the Company may have for Ms. Calagione’s breach of this Agreement.

15. Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between the Company and Ms. Calagione with respect to the subject matter contained herein and may be altered, amended or superseded only by an agreement in writing, signed by both parties. No action or course of conduct shall constitute a waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, unless such waiver is specified in writing, and then only to the extent so specified. A waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement or of such terms and conditions on any other occasion.

16. Severability. Ms. Calagione and the Company hereby expressly agree that the provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision or covenant herein contained is invalid, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and any such provision or covenant shall nevertheless be enforceable as to the balance thereof to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. It is the intent of the parties that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is overly broad in any respect, that such court blue-pencil such provision and enforce the provision to the extent the court determines is reasonable.

17. At-Will Status; Binding Effect; Benefit. Ms. Calagione is at all times an “at-will” employee of the Company, and nothing herein shall be construed to vary the “at-will” status of your employment. Sections 3 through 12 and of this Agreement shall survive its termination and the termination of Ms. Calagione’s employment by the Company.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be considered and have the force and effect of an original.

19. Governing Law. The Company is incorporated in, and has its headquarters located in, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and Ms. Calagione’s employment with the Company is administered from the Company’s Massachusetts headquarters. Accordingly, the validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Any dispute between Ms. Calagione and the Company shall be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to whose jurisdiction Ms. Calagione hereby agrees to submit; provided, however, that if the dispute concerns the restrictive covenant set forth in Section 6, the action shall be venued in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, or, if applicable, the federal district court in Boston, Massachusetts. This Agreement shall be considered a sealed instrument under Massachusetts law.
