As so modified, such restriction shall be as fully enforceable as if it had been set forth herein by the parties. It is the intent of the parties that the court in so establishing substitute restrictions, recognize that the parties hereto desire that the described restrictions be imposed and maintained to the maximum lawful extent.

TO
ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 3, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), among (i) TEXAS ROADHOUSE HOLDINGS LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company, FEIN 31‑1515794 (“Holdings”), (ii) GREEN BROTHERS DINING INC., a Florida corporation (“Franchisee”), and (iii) FIRST AMERICAN TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”).

Recitals

| A. This is the Escrow Agreement referred to in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 3, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”) among Holdings, Franchisee and certain Major Shareholders. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.

| B. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that Escrow Agent is not a party to the Purchase Agreement and that all obligations of Escrow Agent are set forth herein.

THE PARTIES, INTENDING TO BE LEGALLY BOUND, HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

| 1. Establishment of Escrow.

| (a) Holdings and Franchisee hereby appoint Escrow Agent and Escrow Agent accepts appointment and agrees to act as escrow agent and to hold, safeguard and disburse the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.

| (b) On or before the Closing Date, Holdings is depositing with Escrow Agent Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Escrow Fund”). Following the deposit of the Escrow Fund by Holdings, Escrow Agent is hereby directed by Franchisee to invest the Escrow Fund, including interest and income earnings, for the benefit of Franchisee in a First American Trust Interest Bearing Savings Account (“IBA”) or a successor investment offered by Escrow Agent and jointly instructed in writing by Franchisee and Holdings and as shall be reasonably acceptable to Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent will provide compensation on balances in the Escrow Fund at the applicable rate for such account/investment. Escrow Agent shall have the right to liquidate any investments held in order to provide funds necessary to make required payments under this Escrow Agreement.

| (c) Receipt, investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Fund shall be confirmed by Escrow Agent as soon as practicable by account statement to Franchisee and Holdings, and any discrepancies in any such account statement shall be noted by parties to Escrow Agent within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt thereof. Failure to inform Escrow Agent in writing of any discrepancies in any such account statement within said thirty (30) day period shall conclusively be deemed confirmation of the accuracy of such account statement in its entirety.

| (d) In the event funds transfer instructions are given (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Escrow Agreement), whether in writing, by facsimile or otherwise, Escrow Agent is authorized

Exhibit C-1

to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule 1 hereto (“Schedule 1”), and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. Each funds transfer instruction shall be made by joint written instruction executed by an authorized signatory of Holdings and Franchisee, a list of such authorized signatories is set forth on Schedule 1. Funds transfers contemplated by Section 3 shall be made to accounts designated by Franchisee in writing (the written instruction of Holdings not required for such transfer instructions). If Escrow Agent is unable to contact any of the authorized representatives identified in Schedule 1, Escrow Agent shall not be required to make any disbursements until such representative has been contacted. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by Holdings or Franchisee to identify (a) the beneficiary, (b) the beneficiary’s bank, or (c) an intermediary bank. Escrow Agent may apply any of the escrowed funds for any payment order it executes using any such written instructions, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank designated. The parties acknowledge that these security procedures are commercially reasonable.

| 2. Claims.

| (a) From time to time, on or before 5 pm Chicago Time of the first anniversary date of this Agreement, Holdings may give notice (a “Notice”) to Franchisee and Escrow Agent specifying in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of (i) any claim (a “Claim”) it may have under Article IX of the Purchase Agreement, (ii) any payment (a “Payment”) by Holdings to vendors in connection with the Business that relate to periods prior to the Closing Date, (iii) any amounts payable by Franchisee to Holdings as a result of the reconciliation of Franchisee’s Closing Date Working Capital described in Section 2.4(a) of the Purchase Agreement, and/or (iv) any amounts paid by Holdings in connection with the Tax Audit as described in Section 6.12 of the Purchase Agreement. Holdings may make more than one Claim with respect to any underlying state of facts. If Franchisee gives notice to Holdings and Escrow Agent disputing any Claim or Payment (a “Counter Notice”) by 5 pm Chicago Time of the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt by Escrow Agent of the Notice regarding such Claim or Payment, such Claim or Payment shall be resolved as provided in Section 2(b) hereunder. If no Counter Notice is received by Escrow Agent within such thirty (30) day period, then the dollar amount of the Payment or of the damages claimed by Holdings as set forth in its Notice shall be deemed established for purposes of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement and, on the next business day following the end of such thirty (30) day period, Escrow Agent shall pay to Holdings the dollar amount claimed in the Notice from (and only to the extent of) the Escrow Fund (taking into account, with respect to any Claim, the indemnification Basket contained in Section 9.4 of the Purchase Agreement). Escrow Agent shall not inquire into or consider whether a Claim or Payment complies with the requirements of the Purchase Agreement.

| (b) If a Counter Notice is given with respect to a Claim or Payment, Escrow Agent shall make payment with respect thereto only in accordance with (i) joint written instructions of Holdings and Franchisee, or (ii) a final non‑appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any court order shall be accompanied by a legal opinion by counsel for the presenting party satisfactory to Escrow Agent to the effect that the order is final and non‑appealable. Escrow Agent shall act on such court order and legal opinion without further question. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall pay to Holdings, immediately following the receipt of a Counter Notice, the dollar amount equal to the dollar amount claimed in the Notice less the dollar amount disputed in the Counter Notice, if any.

Exhibit C-2

| 3. Release of Escrow Funds; Termination of Escrow.

| (a) On the first business day immediately following the date that is six (6) months after the date of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall pay and distribute from the Escrow Fund to Franchisee fifty percent (50%) of the amount originally deposited in the Escrow Fund, minus a sum equal to the amount previously distributed from the Escrow Fund to Holdings, if any, during such period, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2 hereof, unless (i) any Claim and/or Payment is then pending, in which case an amount equal to the aggregate dollar amount of such Claim and/or Payment (as shown in the Notice of such Claim and/or Payment) shall be retained by Escrow Agent in the Escrow Fund from the amount otherwise to be distributed (and the balance of the amount determined above shall be paid to Franchisee) or (ii) Holdings has given notice to Franchisee and Escrow Agent specifying in reasonable detail the nature of any other Claim it may have under Article IX of the Purchase Agreement with respect to which it is unable to specify the amount of damages (or a reasonable estimate of the maximum damages), in which case the entire Escrow Fund shall be retained by Escrow Agent, in either case until it receives joint written instructions of Holdings and Franchisee or a final non‑appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction as contemplated by Section 2(b).

| (b) On the date that is five (5) business days after the first anniversary date of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall pay and distribute the remaining balance of the Escrow Fund to Franchisee, unless (i) any Claim and/or Payment is then pending, in which case an amount equal to the aggregate dollar amount of such Claim and/or Payment (as shown in the Notice of such Claim and/or Payment) shall be retained by Escrow Agent in the Escrow Fund (and the balance paid to Franchisee) or (ii) Holdings has given notice to Franchisee and Escrow Agent specifying in reasonable detail the nature of any other Claim it may have under Article IX of the Purchase Agreement with respect to which it is unable to specify the amount of damages (or a reasonable estimate of the maximum damages), in which case the entire Escrow Fund shall be retained by Escrow Agent, in either case until it receives joint written instructions of Holdings and Franchisee or a final non‑appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction as contemplated by Section 2(b).

| 4. Duties of Escrow Agent.

| (a) Escrow Agent shall not be under any duty to give the Escrow Fund held by it hereunder any greater degree of care than it gives its own similar property.

| (b) Escrow Agent shall not be liable, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct and, except with respect to claims based upon such gross negligence or willful misconduct that are successfully adjudicated against Escrow Agent, the other parties hereto shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent (and any successor Escrow Agent) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, penalties, judgments, settlements, suits, proceedings, litigation, investigations, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising out of and in connection with (i) Escrow Agent’s execution and performance of this Escrow Agreement, or (ii) its following any instructions or other directions, whether joint or singular, from the parties, except to the extent that its following any such instruction or direction is not permitted hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall in no event be liable in connection with its investment or reinvestment of any cash held by it hereunder, in accordance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, any liability for any delays (not resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct) in the investment or reinvestment of the Escrow Fund, or any loss of interest incident to any such delays. Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the [IBA], including, without limitation, the Escrow Fund nor shall Escrow Agent have any duty or obligation to confirm or verify the accuracy or correctness of any amounts deposited with it hereunder.

Exhibit C-3

Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that the person purporting to give receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. Escrow Agent may conclusively presume that the undersigned representative of any party hereto which is an entity other than a natural person has full power and authority to instruct Escrow Agent on behalf of that party unless written notice to the contrary is delivered to Escrow Agent.

| (d) Escrow Agent may act pursuant to the advice of counsel with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such advice.

| (e) Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the Escrow Fund deposited hereunder but is serving as escrow holder only and having only possession thereof. This Section 4(e) and Section 4(b) shall survive notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the resignation of Escrow Agent.

| (h) Anything in this Escrow Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

| (i) Escrow Agent (and any successor Escrow Agent) may at any time resign as such by delivering the Escrow Fund to any successor Escrow Agent jointly designated by the other parties hereto in writing, or to any court of competent jurisdiction, whereupon Escrow Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Agreement. The resignation of Escrow Agent will take effect on the earlier of (i) the appointment of a successor (including a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) the day which is 30 days after the date of delivery of its written notice of resignation to the other parties hereto. If at that time Escrow Agent has not received a designation of a successor Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after that time shall be to retain and safeguard Escrow Fund until receipt of a designation of successor Escrow Agent or a joint written disposition instruction by the other parties hereto or a final non‑appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any entity into which 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 Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement without further act.

| (j) In the event of any disagreement between the other parties hereto resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the Escrow Fund or in the event that Escrow Agent is in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to retain the Escrow Fund until Escrow Agent shall have received (i) a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing delivery of the Escrow Fund, or (ii) a written agreement executed by the other parties hereto directing delivery of the Escrow Fund, in which event Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Fund in accordance with such

| (l) No printed or other matter in any language (including, without limitation, prospectuses, notices, reports and promotional material) that mentions Escrow Agent’s name or the rights, powers, or duties of Escrow Agent shall be issued by the other parties hereto or on such parties’ behalf unless Escrow Agent shall first have given its specific written consent thereto.

WHEREAS, in connection with that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 3, 2018 by and among Tenant, Texas Roadhouse, Inc., Texas Roadhouse Holdings LLC and certain other parties (the “APA”), Landlord and Tenant have agreed to terminate the Lease effective as of the Effective Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

| 1. Recitals; Capitalized Terms. The recitals set forth above are true and accurate and are incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all defined terms shall have the meaning ascribed to those terms in the Lease.

| 2. Termination of Lease. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that effective as of the Effective Date, the Lease is hereby terminated and of no further force and effect.

| 3. December Base Rent and Additional Rent. As consideration for Landlord’s agreement to terminate the Lease as of the Effective Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, and Landlord shall be entitled to retain in its entirety, monthly base rent, the sales tax applicable to such monthly base rent, and Tenant’s share of real estate taxes for the Premises due to Landlord for December 2018. All other amounts due and payable to Landlord under the Lease (including, without limitation, any applicable percentage rent and Tenant’s share of utilities for the Premises) shall be prorated between the parties as of the Effective Date, with Tenant responsible to pay such amounts applicable through the Effective Date and Landlord responsible for any such amounts applicable following the Effective Date. The parties agree that for purposes of determining the prorated additional rent due and payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 28 of the Lease for the current lease year commencing March 1, 2018 and ending on the Effective Date, the breakpoint of annual gross sales shall be Two Million Two Hundred Eighty-Four Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-One and 51/100 Dollars

Accordingly, as of the Effective Date, Landlord hereby accepts Tenant’s surrender of the Premises in its as-is, where-is condition, and Tenant’s obligations as set forth in the Lease for surrender of the Premises upon termination of the Lease are hereby deemed satisfied in full.

| 5. Personal Property. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Tenant is leaving at the Premises upon surrender certain items of its personal property, as more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto (the “Surrendered Personal Property”), to be purchased by Mulligan’s Beach House Bar & Grill (“New Tenant”) pursuant to a separate agreement between Tenant and New Tenant. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has no rights and/or interest in or to such Surrendered Personal Property, including without limitation, any right to receive the proceeds resulting from the sale by Tenant to New Tenant, and the purchase by New Tenant from Tenant, of such Surrendered Personal Property.
