EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Americold Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), on May 7, 2026 (the “Original 8-K”), in which the Company reported its entry into a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement” and the transactions described therein, the “JV Transaction”) to create a new joint venture with EQT’s Active Core Infrastructure fund (“EQT”). This Amendment is being filed in order to file a copy of the Contribution Agreement that the Company had stated would be filed in an amendment to the Original 8-K as Exhibit 10.1. The Contribution Agreement is incorporated by reference into Item 1.01 of the Original 8-K and the description of the Contribution Agreement and the JV Transaction in the Original 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Contribution Agreement. Other than as expressly set forth herein, the Original 8-K remains unchanged.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Amendment contains statements about future events and expectations that constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future financial and operating performance and growth plans, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations of future results we express or imply in any forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could contribute to these differences include the following: failure to consummate the JV Transaction on the terms or timeline currently anticipated, or at all, due to the failure to satisfy closing conditions, obtain necessary approvals or consents, or other factors beyond our control; failure to achieve the anticipated benefits, synergies or returns from the JV Transaction, including as a result of unanticipated costs or liabilities, difficulties in integrating joint venture operations, or the failure of the joint venture to perform in accordance with our expectations; failure to execute on growth strategies and opportunities; geopolitical conflicts, including the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and any related or resulting disruptions, including increasing energy costs; rising inflationary pressures, increased interest rates and operating costs; national, international, regional and local economic conditions, including impacts and uncertainty from trade disputes and tariffs on goods imported to the United States and goods exported to other countries; periods of economic slowdown or recession; labor and power costs; labor shortages; our relationship with our associates, the occurrence of any work stoppages or any disputes under our collective bargaining agreements and employment related litigation; the impact of supply chain disruptions; risks related to rising construction costs; risks related to expansions of existing properties and developments of new properties, including failure to meet budgeted or stabilized returns within expected time frames, or at all, in respect thereof; uncertainty of revenues, given the nature of our customer contracts; acquisition risks, including the failure to identify or complete attractive acquisitions or failure to realize the intended benefits from our recent acquisitions; difficulties in expanding our operations into new markets and products; uncertainties and risks related to public health crises; a failure of our information technology systems, systems conversions and integrations, cybersecurity attacks or a breach of our information security systems, networks or processes; risks related to implementation of the new ERP system; risks related to defaults or non-renewals of significant customer contracts; risks related to privacy and data security concerns, and data collection and transfer restrictions and related foreign regulations; changes in applicable governmental regulations and tax legislation; risks related to current and potential international operations and properties; actions by our competitors and their increasing ability to compete with us; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; the potential liabilities, costs and regulatory impacts associated with our in-house trucking services and the potential disruptions associated with our use of third-party trucking service providers for transportation services to our customers; liabilities as a result of our participation in multi-employer pension plans; risks related to the partial ownership of properties, including our JV investment; risks related to natural disasters; adverse economic or real estate developments in our geographic markets or the temperature-controlled warehouse industry; changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates; general economic conditions; risks associated with the ownership of real estate generally and temperature-controlled warehouses in particular; possible environmental liabilities; uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage; financial market fluctuations; our failure to obtain necessary outside financing on attractive terms, or at all; risks related to, or restrictions contained in, our debt financings; decreased storage rates or increased vacancy rates; the potential dilutive effect of our common stock offerings, including our ongoing at the market program; the cost and time requirements as a result of our operation as a publicly traded REIT; and our failure to maintain our status as a REIT.

Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goal,” “objectives,” “intends,” “may,” “opportunity,” “plans,” “potential,” “near-term,” “long-term,” “projections,” “assumptions,” “projects,” “guidance,” “forecasts,” “outlook,” “target,” “trends,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements may contain such words. Examples of forward-looking statements included in this press release include, but are not limited to, those regarding the JV Transaction. We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors. Other risks, uncertainties and factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future except to the extent required by law.

The information contained herein does not constitute an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, and may not be used or relied upon in connection with any offer or solicitation. It also does not constitute a notice of debt repayment or redemption. Any offer or solicitation in respect of the Company or EQT Active Core Infrastructure will be made only through a confidential private placement memorandum and related documents which will be furnished to qualified investors on a confidential basis in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Any securities referred to herein have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered or sold without registration thereunder or pursuant to an available exemption therefrom. Any offering of securities to be made in the United States would have to be made by means of an offering document that would be obtainable from the issuer or its agents and would contain detailed information about the issuer of the securities and its management, as well as financial information. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration.

(“Investor”) and (iii) Americold North America JV Member, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Americold JV Member”). Americold and Investor are each sometimes referred to in this

1.1.1 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in this Agreement (including, without

limitation, Exhibit A and the other Exhibits attached hereto).

1.1.2 Any reference in this Agreement to an

“Article,” “Section,” “Exhibit” or “Schedule” refers to the corresponding Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule of or to this Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise. The table of contents

and the headings of Articles and Sections are provided for convenience only and are not intended to affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

1.1.3 All words used in this Agreement are to be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require, and

capitalized derivative forms of defined terms shall have correlative meanings to the respective definitions of such terms.

1.1.4 The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof,”

“hereunder”, “hereto” and other similar expressions refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Section” and

“this subsection”, and words of similar import, refer only to the Section or subsection hereof in which such words occur.

1.1.5 The words “including,” “includes,” or “include” are to be read as listing non-exclusive examples of the matters referred to, whether or not words such as “without limitation” or “but not limited to” are used in each instance.

1.1.6 The phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a

subject or other matter extends, and does not simply mean “if.”

1.1.7 The word “or” is inclusive

and not exclusive (for example, the phrase “A or B” means “A or B or both,” not “either A or B but not both”), unless used in conjunction with “either” or the like.

1.1.8 Where this Agreement states that a party “shall”, “will” or “must” perform in some

manner or otherwise act or omit to act, it means that the party is legally obligated to do so in accordance with this Agreement. The words “shall”, “will” and “must” are used interchangeably throughout this

Agreement and shall accordingly be given the same meaning, regardless of which word is used.

1.1.9 (i) Except as expressly

provided otherwise in this Agreement, references to any Law or Contract means such Law or Contract as it may be amended from time to time (provided that, to the extent applicable, any amendment to such Contract shall only apply to the extent

effected in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Contract and this Agreement).

1.1.10 Any reference to

“days” means calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified.

1.1.11 When calculating the period of

time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is not a Business

Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

1.1.12 The words “ordinary course of business”

means ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

1.1.13 References to any document or information having

been “made available”, “provided”, “delivered” or words of similar import by Americold or any of its Subsidiaries to Investor means Americold, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives have posted or

uploaded any such document or information to the Diligence Website at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Date.

1.1.14 Unless otherwise provided herein, all monetary values stated herein are expressed in United States currency and all

references to “dollars” or “$” or “USD” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States.

1.1.15 References to any Person include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns.

1.1.16 For purposes of Section 6.2, Investor acknowledges that the Company and Company Subsidiaries will not be formed

until after the Effective Date and, accordingly, any representations and warranties that relate to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that are not applicable as of the Effective Date due to the same shall be given solely as of the Closing

Date.

their respective Equity Percentage in the Company. Americold and Americold JV Member shall cause the Company to issue the Issued Interest to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof at the Closing.

2.2.2 The Parties agree that the Gross Asset Value shall be allocated among the Portfolio as set forth on

Schedule 2.2.2 attached hereto (the “Allocated Gross Asset Value”). The provisions of this Section 2.2.2 shall survive the Closing.

2.2.3 The Parties agree to the allocation of the Allocated Gross Asset Value for each Property within the Portfolio between the

portion of such Property which constitutes real property (the “Allocated Real Property Value”) and the portion of such Property which constitutes personal property, as set forth on Schedule 2.2.3 attached

hereto. The provisions of this Section 2.2.3 shall survive the Closing.

2.2.4 Notwithstanding anything to

the contrary in this Section 2.2, at any time following the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Allocated Gross Asset Value set forth on Schedule 2.2.2 and the allocations of Allocated Real Property Value and

personal property set forth on Schedule 2.2.3 may be updated and amended by the mutual written agreement of Americold and Investor, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and upon such agreement, such updated

allocations shall replace the applicable prior allocations set forth on Schedule 2.2.2 and Schedule 2.2.3 (as applicable) for all purposes under this Agreement. Any such update shall not (i) result in any adjustment to the Gross

Asset Value or the Contribution Amount or (ii) adversely impact the Debt Financing. The provisions of this Section 2.2.4 shall survive the Closing.

3.2 Diligence Complete. Investor acknowledges that, as of the Effective Date, it has

conducted and completed its own due diligence investigations as to any matter, fact, and issue which might influence Investor’s decision to Close the Transactions, and in that regard, Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been provided

with an opportunity to and has conducted inspections and investigations as it has deemed necessary or desirable, provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver by Investor of any of its express rights hereunder or a waiver by Investor of

any breach of Americold’s express obligations hereunder, including Americold’s representations and warranties expressly set forth herein.

located in California) (or tax year with respect to any Properties located in Massachusetts) in which Closing occurs, including for the avoidance of doubt any PILOT Payments, shall be prorated as of the Cutoff Time. If the final Tax bill for such

year is not available at Closing, the parties shall prorate based on the real estate Taxes assessed and paid for calendar year 2025 (or the most recent fiscal year with respect to any Properties located in California) (or the most recent tax year

with respect to any Properties located in Massachusetts), and shall reprorate such real estate Taxes when the final Tax bill for calendar year 2026 (or the fiscal year in which Closing occurs with respect to any Properties located in California) (or

the tax year in which Closing occurs with respect to any Properties located in Massachusetts) becomes available. There shall be no other proration of real estate Taxes.

prorated as of the Cutoff Time. Uncollected rents and other sums due under Leases and Customer Contracts shall not be prorated at Closing. Unpaid and delinquent rents and other sums collected by the Property Owners after the Closing from any tenant

or customer who owes any such amounts for periods prior to the Closing shall be applied in the following order: (a) first, in payment of such amounts owed by such tenant or customer for the month in which the Closing occurs, it being agreed

that Americold shall be entitled to receive such monies that are attributable to the period prior to the Cutoff Time; (b) second, in payment of such amounts owed by such tenant or customer for periods after the Closing, which funds shall be

retained by the applicable Property Owner; (c) third, if and when received after application of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), in payment of such amounts owed by such tenant or customer (if any) for any periods prior to the month in

which the Closing occurs, it being agreed that Americold shall be entitled to receive such monies that are attributable to the period prior to the Cutoff Time; and (d) fourth, the balance, if any, shall be retained by the applicable Property

Owner.

(d) Intentionally Omitted.

(e) Other Operating Expenses. All (A) vault charges, (B) deposits in place and payments due under any Property

Contracts, (C) costs and expenses incurred with respect to the exceptions to title set forth in the title pro formas for the Properties that the Title Issuer has irrevocably committed to issue as of the Closing Date, (D) portions of paid

(f) Intentionally Omitted.

(g) The Parties’ obligations in this Section 4.2.3 shall survive the Closing.

4.2.4 In the event any Transfer Taxes are imposed on the transactions set forth in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance

of doubt, the Restructuring), such Transfer Taxes shall be an expense of Americold. Americold shall pay or cause to be paid such Transfer Taxes and file or cause to be filed such Tax Returns.

4.2.5 Leasing Costs incurred prior to the Effective Date shall be an expense of Americold. Leasing Costs incurred following the

Effective Date shall be an expense of the Company.

4.2.6 At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing,

Americold shall deliver to the Investor a certified schedule of any prorations at Closing pursuant to this Section 4.2 and reasonable supporting detail thereof. Within thirty (30) days of any prorations arising following the Closing

pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Americold JV Member shall deliver to the Investor the amount of such proration and reasonable supporting detail thereof. With respect to any proration statement delivered by Americold or the Americold JV

Member pursuant to this Section 4.2, Investor will be entitled to review such proration schedule on behalf of the Company, and Americold and the Americold JV Member shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, allow Investor reasonable access to

the books and records of Americold and the Americold JV Member and its Affiliates, the relevant personnel of Americold and its Affiliates, and work papers (subject to execution of a customary independent access letter if requested by

Americold’s advisors) prepared by Americold or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives (in each case, to the extent that they relate to such prorations); provided that such access shall be in a manner that does not materially

interfere with the normal business operations of Americold or any of its Affiliates. If Investor provides Americold written notice within thirty days of receipt of any proration statement pursuant to this Section 4.2 that it

disputes such proration statement, Americold and the Investor shall discuss such proration dispute in good faith and attempt to resolve such dispute in good faith. To the extent such dispute cannot be resolved during such 30-day period, then Investor and Americold will submit the items in dispute to FTI Consulting for resolution (or if that firm is unwilling or unable to serve, Investor and Americold will agree in good faith upon

another mutually agreeable “Big 4” accounting firm) (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). Investor and Americold will instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to render its determination with respect to the

items in dispute in a written report that specifies the conclusions of the Independent Accounting Firm as to each item in dispute and the resulting proration amounts. Investor and Americold will each use their commercially reasonable efforts to

cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render its determination within thirty (30) days after referral of the items to such firm and the

conclusion of all proceedings required under this Section 4.2.3. Each of Investor and Americold will be afforded the opportunity to present simultaneously an initial written

submission setting forth its position with respect to each item in dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm, including any material they deem relevant to the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination; provided, that, no Party will

have any ex parte communications (whether written or other) with the Independent Accounting Firm. Each of Investor and Americold will then be afforded the opportunity to present simultaneous written replies to the other’s initial written

submission to the Independent Accounting Firm, and the Independent Accounting Firm will then have the right to submit one set of written questions to Investor and Americold, and each of Investor and Americold will have the right to simultaneously

answer in writing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to its determination of each item in dispute, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item

claimed by Investor or Americold or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by Investor or Americold. The Independent Accounting Firm must make its final determination in reliance upon supporting documentation provided to it by

Investor and Americold and based on written presentations by Investor and Americold that are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (and not on the basis of an independent review) and will be limited to whether

the calculations of the items in dispute were done correctly from a mathematical standpoint. The Independent Accounting Firm will act as an expert and not as an arbitrator in performing the duties assigned to it by the Parties hereunder (but

will be subject to the privileges and immunities of arbitrators), and all proceedings before the Independent Accounting Firm will be conducted solely by written submission as outlined above. The fees and disbursements of the Independent

Accounting Firm will be allocated between Investor, on the one hand, and Americold, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining items in dispute so submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that is

unsuccessfully disputed by Investor or Americold (as applicable) (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of the disputed items so submitted. For example, (x) if it is Americold’s position

that the proration amount is ninety million dollars ($90,000,000), (y) it is Investor’s position that the proration amount is one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000), and (z) the Independent Accounting Firm’s finding is that the

proration amount is ninety eight million dollars ($98,000,000), then Americold will pay eighty percent (80%) (98-90 / 100-90) of the Independent Accounting Firm’s

fees and expenses and Investor will pay twenty percent (20%) (100-98 / 100-90) of the Independent Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses. Upon the final

determination of any proration amount in accordance with this Section 4.2, Section 14.23 of the Joint Venture Agreement shall apply with respect to such finally determined proration amount.

other similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity) (the “Enforceability Exceptions”). The

Authority binding upon Investor, or (z) conflict or be inconsistent with, or result in any default under, any Contract to which Investor is bound, except in the case of clauses (y) and (z) above, for violations which would

direct or indirect public shareholder of any Affiliates of Investor.

6.1.4 ERISA. Except as would not individually

or in the aggregate be expected to have, and do not have, prevent or materially delay the Investor’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Investor is not an employee pension benefit plan subject to the

provisions of Title IV of ERISA or subject to the minimum funding standards under Part 3, Subtitle B, Title I of ERISA or Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA, and none of its assets constitute or will

constitute assets of any such employee benefit plan subject to Part 4, Subtitle B, Title I of ERISA. Investor is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and the funds used by Investor to acquire the

Issued Interest are not subject to state statutes regulating investments of and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans. Investor hereby represents and warrants that the assets of Investor are not “plan assets” of one or

more “employee benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to Title I of ERISA, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA.

6.1.5 Brokers. Neither Investor nor any of its Affiliates is a party

to any Contract that imposes liability on the Company or Americold to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder or similar agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which the Company, Americold or any of their

respective Affiliates would be liable.

6.1.6 Investor TECL; Investor Equity Support. Concurrently with the

execution of this Agreement, the Investor Sponsor has duly executed and delivered to the Company the Investor TECL and Investor Equity Support, each dated as of the Effective Date. The Investor TECL and Investor Equity Support are in full force and

effect and is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Investor Sponsor party thereto in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions, and no event has occurred which, with or without

notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default on the part of the Investor Sponsor.

6.1.7 Financing.

(a) As of the Effective Date, the Investor has delivered to the Company and Americold true and correct copies of

(a) the Investor Equity Support, dated as of the Effective Date, pursuant to which the investors party thereto have committed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, to provide the Equity Financing, which Investor Equity

Support provides that Americold and the Company each is an express third-party beneficiary thereto, and (b) the executed Debt Commitment Letter, dated as of the Effective Date, and the Fee Letter pursuant to which the Debt Financing Parties

party thereto have committed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, to provide to the Investor or an Affiliate thereof the amount of debt financing described therein, the proceeds of which shall be used to, among other

things, fund the Transaction. As of the Effective Date, except as set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters, there are no conditions precedent or other contingencies (including any “flex” provisions applicable thereto) to the

obligations of the parties thereto to fund the full amounts contemplated by the Financing. There are no side letters or other agreements related to the funding of the Financing other than as set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters and no such

side letters or other agreements are contemplated. As of the Effective Date, each Financing Commitment Letter has been duly executed and delivered by, and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of, the Investor and, to the knowledge of the

Investor, each other party thereto. As of the Effective Date, each Financing Commitment Letter is in full force and effect against Investor and, to the Investor’s Knowledge, against each other party thereto and is the valid, binding and

enforceable obligation of Investor and, to the Investor’s Knowledge, each

other party thereto and has not been withdrawn, terminated, rescinded, amended or modified. All commitment and other fees required to be paid under the Financing Commitment Letters on or prior to

the Effective Date have been timely paid. As of the Effective Date, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1, the Investor has no reason to believe that the terms or conditions precedent required to be

satisfied by it pursuant to any Financing Commitment Letter or in connection with the Transaction will not be met on a timely basis or that all or any portion of the Financing will be unavailable on the Closing Date. The aggregate proceeds of the

Financing contemplated to be funded at Closing in accordance with the Debt Letters and the Investor Equity Support, if and when funded, will be sufficient for the Investor to fund payment of (x) an amount equal to the Contribution Amount and

(y) the other payments required to be made by or on behalf of the Investor at the Closing under this Agreement. The Investor understands, acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Investor under this Agreement, including its

obligations to consummate the Transaction, are not in any way contingent upon or otherwise subject to the Investor’s consummation of any financing arrangement or the obtaining of any financing or the availability, grant, provisions or

extension of any financing to the Investor.

(b) (x) No event has occurred that (with or without notice, lapse of time or

both) could constitute a default, breach or failure to satisfy a condition by Investor or any other party thereto under the terms and conditions of the Investor Equity Support or would otherwise reasonably be expected to result in any portion of the

Equity Financing contemplated thereby to be unavailable. Investor has paid, or caused to be paid, in full any and all fees required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Investor Equity Support on or before the date hereof, and will pay, or cause

to be paid, in full any such amounts due on or before the Closing Date. Investor acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Agreement are not in any way contingent or otherwise subject to (i) the consummation of any financing

arrangements or obtaining any financing (including the Equity Financing) or (ii) the availability of any financing (including the Equity Financing) to Investor or any of their respective Affiliates. The Investor Equity Support has not, in any

respect, been amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, withdrawn or otherwise modified and none of the commitments thereunder have been terminated, reduced, withdrawn or rescinded in any respect by any party thereto, and, no such

amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplementation, withdrawal, termination, reduction, rescission or other modification is contemplated. There is no (A) fact, occurrence, circumstance or condition that would reasonably be

expected to cause the Investor Equity Support to terminate or be withdrawn, modified, repudiated or rescinded or to be or become ineffective or (B) fact, occurrence, circumstance or condition that would reasonably be expected to prevent the

Investor from performing its obligations under the Investor Equity Support or cause any other potential impediment to the funding of any of the payment obligations of the Investor under the Investor Equity Support at or prior to the Closing.

6.1.8 Litigation. Except as would not prevent, materially delay or

materially impair the consummation of the Transaction, and except for any Claim arising out of the Transaction, there is no Claim active, pending or, to Investor’s Knowledge, threatened in writing against Investor before any Governmental

Authority. As of the Effective Date, Investor is not subject to any outstanding Order that would prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the Transaction.

6.2 Americold’s Representations. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, and except as set

rights of way or the use of such Property (any such taking or condemnation is hereafter called a “Condemnation”) after becoming aware or obtaining knowledge thereof.

(b) If a Material Condemnation occurs prior to the Closing, then Investor shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive

remedy, to remove such Property from the Portfolio by written notice delivered to Americold within ten (10) Business Days after Investor receives written notice of such Material Condemnation, in which event the Contribution Amount will be

reduced by the applicable Allocated Gross Asset Value and this Agreement shall be deemed modified to omit any reference to such Property but otherwise remain in full force

and effect. If Investor does not timely elect to remove such Property from the Portfolio pursuant to the foregoing sentence within such ten (10) Business Day period, then this Agreement

Documents to be executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Closing Documents for which Investor or any of its Affiliates shall have any responsibility.

7.7 Tax Matters.

7.7.1 The Parties hereto intend that for all U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income tax purposes, (a) the

Contribution Transaction shall be treated (i) in part, as a contribution by Americold of the Contributed Properties to the Company in exchange for limited liability company interests in the Company in a transaction described in

Section 721(a) of the Code and (ii) in part, as a “disguised sale” of an undivided interest in each of the assets of the Company (at the time of Closing) under Section 707 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-3; provided, that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties agree to treat the Americold Distribution Amount as either

(A) a reimbursement of “capital expenditures” and “pre-formation expenses” pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-4(d) or (B) to the extent attributable to any partnership liabilities (as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-5(b)), including the

Debt Financing, as a nontaxable distribution of Americold’s allocable share of proceeds of any such liability of the Company as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-5(b) (it being

understood that, as of the Closing Date, Americold’s expected allocable share for such purposes shall be at least the Allocable Share Threshold), (b) the TRS Subsidiary Contribution shall be treated as a contribution by the Company of the

TRS Contribution Amount to the TRS Subsidiary in a transaction described in Section 351(a) of the Code and (c) each step of the Contribution Transaction as occurring in the sequence as set forth in Schedule 7.7.1 (the

“Intended Tax Treatment”).

7.7.2 None of the Parties shall take a position on any Tax Return,

before any Taxing Authority or in any judicial proceeding that is, in any manner, inconsistent with such Intended Tax Treatment without the consent of the others or unless specifically required pursuant to a final determination within the meaning of

Section 1313 of the Code (or corresponding or similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law). The Parties shall promptly advise one another of the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or

litigation related to the Tax treatment of the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement.

7.7.3 The Parties shall

mutually agree on the allocation of any Sale Consideration among the Properties set forth in Schedule 2.2.3 for U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes. Such allocation shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the

Code. For all tax purposes and all Tax Returns and reports (including IRS Form 8594), the Parties agree to report the transactions contemplated in this Agreement in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including the allocation of

the Sale Consideration as finally agreed among the Parties, and that none of them will take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return, in any refund claim, in any litigation, or otherwise, except as otherwise required by a determination

within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or corresponding or similar provision of state, local or non U.S. Tax Law). The Parties shall cooperate in connection with the preparation, execution and filing with the Internal Revenue Service

of all necessary information returns required by Section 1060 of the Code relating to the allocation of the consideration hereunder. For this purpose, “Sale Consideration” shall mean any portion of the Americold

Distribution Amount that is not treated as described in Section 7.7.1(a)(ii)(A) or (B).

7.7.4 For U.S.

federal income and applicable state or local Tax purposes, the Parties shall cause the Company to use the “traditional method” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) with respect to the

interests in the assets of the Company that are deemed contributed to the Company pursuant to the Intended Tax Treatment to take into account the variation between the basis of such contributed assets and their fair market value.

7.7.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the

Parties agree that, after the Closing, at the Investor’s request, any Applicable Entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as well as any entity of which an Applicable Entity is treated as a continuing

partnership under Section 706 of the Code) shall make any election available pursuant to Section 6226(a) of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) in

respect of any proposed adjustment in connection with any Tax proceeding for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or Straddle Period, and Americold shall, and shall cause their Affiliates and agents to, cooperate with the

Investor and its Affiliates in causing the Applicable Entities to take any actions, including making filings, disclosures and notifications, necessary to effectuate such election.

7.8 Publicity. Americold and Investor each hereby covenant and agree that it shall not, and shall not permit their Affiliates to, issue

any press release or similar public statement or comment with respect to the Transaction or this Agreement, the Closing Documents or the Joint Venture Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or any of the terms, conditions or

aspects thereof (a “Press Release”) without the prior consent of Investor and Americold, respectively, except to the extent required by applicable Law (except as may be addressed elsewhere within this

Section 7.8). If Americold, Investor, the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is required by applicable Law to issue a Press Release, the applicable Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with applicable

Law to, prior to the issuance of the same, deliver a copy of the proposed Press Release to the other Party for review, only disclose the minimum amount required by Law to be so disclosed and request “confidential treatment” or similar

treatment thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of Americold and Investor may make any disclosure (a) required to be included in its or its Affiliates’ financial statements or tax audits or other filings

with Governmental Authorities, (b) required by periodic reporting requirements under the Exchange Act or continuous disclosure obligations under other applicable securities Laws or under the rules of any securities exchange on which the

securities of Americold, Investor or an Affiliate of Americold or Investor, as applicable, are or will be listed, (c) regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any material term hereof to direct or indirect, current or

potential, investors or limited partners or other debt or equity financing sources (including the Debt Financing Parties) in the ordinary course of business or in connection with the Financing, provided that, except to the extent permitted

pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or Section 7.9, any such disclosure does not disclose the economic terms and provisions governing the allocation of distributions under the Joint Venture Agreement, any Existing LLC Agreement or

any other organizational document of the Applicable Entities, or, if Investor is the disclosing Party, the identity of Americold or any of its Affiliates, without Americold’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned

or delayed, or, if Americold is the disclosing Party, the identity of Investor or any of its Affiliates, without Investor’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided; that such recipients

are obligated to keep such information confidential) or (d) that is consistent in all material respects with previous Press Releases made by any Party hereto in accordance with this Agreement, including in investor conference calls, SEC

filings, Q&As or other publicly disclosed statements or documents, in each case under this clause (d), to the extent such disclosure is still correct in all material respects (and not misleading).

7.9 Confidentiality.

7.9.1 Investor shall hold, and shall direct the Investor’s Representatives to hold in strict confidence and not disclose,

publicly file or otherwise make available to any other Person without the prior approval of Americold: (i) this Agreement and the Closing Documents and the terms, conditions and existence hereof and thereof and (ii) the identity of any

agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with applicable Law to consult with Americold in advance of such disclosure, availability or filing with respect to the text thereof, only disclose, make available or file the minimum

amount required by Law to be so disclosed, made available or filed, request “confidential treatment” or similar treatment thereof, and redact such terms of this Agreement or the other Closing Documents as Americold may reasonably

request.

7.9.2 Americold shall hold, and shall direct AMC’s Representatives, the Company, each Company Subsidiary to

hold in strict confidence and not disclose, publicly file or otherwise make available to any other Person without the prior approval of Investor: (i) this Agreement and the Closing Documents and the terms, conditions and existence hereof and

Investor Confidential Information is a matter of public record, (D) to any Person that has already received such Investor Confidential Information in a manner not constituting a default of any confidentiality obligations to Investor or any of

the Investor’s Representatives, (E) in connection with any Claim by a party to this Agreement against one or more parties to this Agreement or any Closing Document or (F) in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. In the event

that such disclosure, availability or filing is required by applicable Law, Americold agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with applicable Law to consult with Investor in advance of such disclosure, availability or filing

with respect to the text thereof, only disclose, make available or file the minimum amount required by Law to be so disclosed, made available or filed, request “confidential treatment” or similar treatment thereof, and redact such terms

of this Agreement or the other Closing Documents as Investor may reasonably request.

7.10 Intentionally Omitted.

7.11 Restructurings. In connection with the Restructurings, Americold, and its applicable Affiliates shall Transfer all assets,

properties, operations, interests and rights of the Business, other than the Excluded Assets and Liabilities, to an Applicable Entity, in each case, in accordance with the Restructuring Agreements. Prior to the Closing Date, if this Agreement has

not been terminated, Americold and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, take all actions, execute all documents, and provide all information that are necessary to implement, effectuate or evidence the Pre-Closing Restructuring. On the Closing Date, immediately following the execution of the Joint Venture Agreement and contribution by Investor of the Contribution Amount to the Company, the Applicable Entities

shall cause, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, take all actions, execute all documents, and provide all information that are necessary to implement, effectuate or evidence the Closing Date Restructuring (and as more generally described

below), Americold shall keep Investor reasonably informed of the status of the Restructurings prior to executing any documentation necessary to effectuate the Restructurings, including documentation which shall be substantially in the forms attached

as Exhibit R-1 through Exhibit R-13, as applicable (collectively, “Restructuring Agreements”). Americold shall deliver to Investor copies of

any such Restructuring Agreements at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the contemplated execution or filing and shall afford Investor a reasonable opportunity to review, comment on and approve the Restructuring Agreements. Americold shall

consider all reasonable comments of Investor to any such Restructuring Agreements prior to any execution or delivery thereof. No such Restructuring Agreements shall be executed or made without the prior written approval of Investor (e-mail being sufficient). At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Americold shall deliver to Investor a calculation of the Contribution Amount, the AMC Distribution Value, the Americold JV

Equity Value and the TRS Contribution Amount, each of which shall be subject to the reasonable and good faith Agreement of Americold and Investor. For illustrative purposes only, an example

calculation of the Contribution Amount, the AMC Distribution Value, the Americold JV Equity Value and the TRS Contribution Amount is set forth on Schedule 14.

7.12 Financing.

7.12.1 Prior to the Closing, Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to

do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions (including any “flex” provisions applicable thereto) contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letters, including using

reasonable best efforts to (a) taking into account the timing of the Closing contemplated by Section 4.1, maintain in full force and effect the Financing Commitment Letters (subject to replacement thereof in accordance with

Section 7.12.4) and satisfy all conditions to funding the Financing at the Closing on a timely basis that are applicable to Investor and that are within its control in the Financing Commitment Letters and consummate the Financing no

later than at the Closing, (b) fully enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter, (c) enter into definitive written agreements with respect to the Financing on terms and conditions contained in the Financing Commitment Letters

(subject to replacement thereof in accordance with Section 7.12.4) (including any “flex” provisions applicable thereto) or, in the Investor’s sole discretion, on other terms than those contained in the Financing

Commitment Letters (including any “flex” provisions applicable thereto), in each case, which such other terms shall not constitute a Prohibited Modification (with such agreements to be in effect no later than the Closing Date), (d)

comply with its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter to the extent the failure to comply with such obligations would adversely impact the amount or, taking into account the expected timing of the Closing contemplated by

Section 4.1, the availability of the Financing at the Closing and (e) consummate the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Investor Equity Support no later than Closing, and (f) enforce its rights under

the Investor Equity Support. Investor shall, promptly upon Americold’s written request, keep Americold informed in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and the

Investor Equity Support; provided, however, that the foregoing clause (c) shall be subject to Americold satisfying its obligations under Section 7.13 to review, approve and execute the Definitive Agreements, as

applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the “reasonable best efforts” standard set forth in this Section 7.12.1 require or be deemed or construed to require Investor

to (i) seek equity financing from any source (other than the Investor Sponsor pursuant to the Investor Equity Support) or seek equity financing materially in excess of the amount or in any form other than the Investor Equity Support,

(ii) pay any fees in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (whether to secure waiver of any conditions contained therein or otherwise) or (iii) breach or waive any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

7.12.2 Prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of Americold (which may be given or withheld in

Americold’s sole discretion), Investor shall not agree to or permit any early termination, amendment, supplement or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, or any replacement of, the Debt Commitment Letter

if such termination, amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or replacement (a) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing below the amount, taking into account all other sources of proceeds, necessary to fund an amount equal to

(i) the Contribution Amount and (ii) any other payment obligations of the Investor at Closing, or

(b) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends, supplements or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected

to (x) materially delay (taking into account the expected timing of the Closing contemplated by Section 4.1) or prevent the Closing or the timely funding of the Financing, (y) otherwise would reasonably be expected to

materially delay or prevent the Closing or the funding of the Financing or (z) adversely impact the ability of Investor to enforce its rights against any other party to the Debt Commitment Letter (the limitations set forth in this

Section 7.12.2, the “Prohibited Modifications”). Without the prior written consent of Americold, Investor shall not agree to or permit (i) any early termination, amendment, supplement or modification to be

made to, (ii) or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, or any replacement of, the Investor Equity Support or Investor TECL, except as expressly set forth in the Investor Equity Support and Investor TECL, as applicable, or (iii) any

amendment or modification to the (a) interest rate, (b) amount of proceeds, (c) scope of environmental indemnity or guaranty or (d) amount of the management fees, in an adverse matter under the Debt Commitment

Letter. Investor shall promptly deliver to Americold copies of any such early termination, amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or replacement of the Debt Commitment Letter, Investor Equity Support, or Investor TECL.

7.12.3 Investor shall give Americold prompt notice (x) of any material breach, default, repudiation, cancellation or

termination in writing by any party of any Debt Commitment Letter or the Investor Equity Support of which Investor becomes aware, (y) of the receipt by Investor of any written notice or other written communication with respect to any

(1) material breach, default, cancellation, termination or repudiation of any provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter or the Investor Equity Support or written intent to refuse to provide the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment

Letter or the Investor Equity Support, or (2) dispute or disagreement relating to the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing with respect to the obligation to provide the Financing or the amount of the Debt Financing to be provided at Closing

(but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Financing), and (z) if at any time for any reason Investor believes in good faith that there is a reasonable possibility that it will

not be able to obtain at the Closing all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letters. As soon as reasonably practicable, after the date Americold delivers to

Investor a written request therefor, Investor shall provide information reasonably requested by Americold relating to the circumstances referred to in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the immediately preceding sentence; provided that in no

event shall Investor be obligated to provide access to or disclose any information pursuant to this Section 7.12 if doing so would jeopardize any legal or evidentiary privilege or protection or violate any applicable Law or Contract (not

entered into in contemplation hereof) so long as Investor has used reasonable best efforts to provide such information in a way that would not result in the foregoing and has notified Americold that information is being withheld on such basis.

7.12.4 In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing necessary to fund

an amount equal to (i) the Contribution Amount and (ii) any other payment obligations of the Investor at Closing (or the other payments required to be made by or on behalf of the Investor at the Closing under this Agreement) becomes

unavailable to Investor in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, Investor will promptly notify Americold and will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing on terms and conditions no less

favorable to Investor than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including any “flex” provisions applicable thereto) or, in Investor’s sole discretion, on other terms than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter

(including any “flex” provisions applicable thereto), in each case, from the same or alternative sources in an amount sufficient, when added to any portion of the Financing still available, to fund an amount equal to (x) the

Contribution Amount and (y) any other payment obligations of the Investor at Closing (or the other payments required to be made by or on behalf of the Investor at the Closing under this Agreement) as promptly as practicable (the

“Substitute Financing” with any such Substitute Financing being deemed to constitute “Debt Financing”, the debt commitment letter with respect thereto being deemed to constitute a “Debt Commitment

Letter”, the fee letter with respect thereto being deemed to constitute a “Fee Letter” and the definitive documentation with respect thereto being deemed to constitute part of the “Definitive Agreements”);

provided that, without the prior written consent of Americold (which may be given or withheld in Americold’s sole discretion), such Substitute Financing shall not affect any Prohibited Modifications. Investor shall deliver to Americold

true and correct copies of the executed debt commitment letter with respect to such Substitute Financing promptly following the execution thereof.

7.12.5 The Parties understand and agree that all obligations of Investor and its Affiliates relating to the Financing shall be

governed exclusively by this Section 7.12.

7.13 Americold Financing Cooperation.

7.13.1 Prior to the Closing, each of the Company and Americold shall (and Americold shall cause its Affiliates to) use

reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to use reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to provide, such cooperation in

connection with the arrangement of the Financing as may be reasonably requested by Investor, including using reasonable best efforts to (A) make available to Investor, its advisors and its Debt Financing Parties such financial and other

pertinent information regarding the Applicable Entities, as may be reasonably requested by Investor, its advisors or its Debt Financing Parties (and the Properties), including (I)(i) the financial statements and other information necessary to

satisfy the conditions set forth in Schedule B of Exhibit A to the Debt Commitment Letter (or any successor provision thereof), and (ii) the unaudited financial statements of Applicable Entities for each fiscal quarter ended forty-five

(45) days prior to the Closing (other than the fourth fiscal quarter of each fiscal year), (II) such information as is necessary to allow Investor, its advisors and its Debt Financing Parties to prepare pro forma financial statements,

(III) customary authorization letters (including customary representations with respect to accuracy of information and material non-public information) requested by the Debt Financing Parties and

(IV) any Americold Credit Support, as may need to be provided to satisfy the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (which Americold Credit Support shall fully comply with the requirements applicable thereto as set forth in the Debt

Commitment Letter); (B) assist with the preparation of reasonably requested lender and investor presentations, rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda, marketing materials and

other similar documents and materials in connection with the Debt Financing and participating in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, drafting sessions and due diligence sessions (in each case, including via video conference)

with providers or potential providers of the Debt Financing and ratings agencies and otherwise assisting in the marketing efforts of Investor and its Debt Financing Parties, in each case to the extent customary for Debt Financings of such type;

(C) deliver, promptly upon request, and in any event at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to Closing, all documentation and other information as is reasonably requested by Investor, its advisors at least twenty (20) days prior to

Closing and its Debt Financing Parties with respect to applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and beneficial ownership regulations (including beneficial ownership

certifications as under 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230) (the “KYC Certifications”); (D) other than the KYC Certifications (which shall be governed by clause (C)), assist with Investor’s preparation and negotiation of, and

promptly provide and execute, all documentation with respect to the Debt Financing (including loan agreements, schedules and exhibits, guarantees, collateral agreements, hedging arrangements, customary officer’s certificates and corporate

resolutions, as applicable) as may reasonably be requested and subject to the occurrence of the Closing; (E) effectuate the Restructuring as agreed to by Americold and Investor and provide all reasonably requested documentation in connection

therewith; (F) subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Debt Commitment Letter, (i) request estoppels and SNDAs from the Property Manager in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letter and the Property Management Agreement and

(ii) request estoppels certificates and SNDAs from tenants and customers under Material Customer Contracts and counterparties to material REAs, condominium documents and other material real property documents, in form and substance customary

for documentation of this type as is required under the Debt Commitment Letter; (G) subject to the terms of the Access Agreement, permit Investor, the Representatives and the Debt Financing Parties reasonably timely and customary access, upon

reasonable advance notice, to conduct appraisal and environmental and engineering inspections of each Properties (provided, however, that neither Investor nor its Representatives shall have the right, without Americold’s prior

written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in Americold’s sole but reasonable discretion), to take and analyze any samples of any environmental media (including soil, groundwater, surface water, air or sediment) or any building

material or to perform any invasive testing procedure on any such property); (H) cooperate with obtaining customary title insurance with respect to each Property, in each case as reasonably requested by Investor (including providing any corrective

title documents, customary affidavits, releases and terminations), (I) using reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party consents required to guarantee, mortgage, pledge or grant security interests in any assets of the Company or the Company

Subsidiaries, including the Property Owners, and (J) cause the repayment or defeasance of any existing Indebtedness of the Company and any Company Subsidiary contemplated by this Agreement to be extinguished and paid in full on or immediately

prior to Closing and causing the release and discharge and termination of the related Encumbrance (or otherwise requesting the assignment of mortgages or other security

instruments in a customary manner); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.13.1 will require any such cooperation to the extent that it would (I) require

Americold, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay any fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Closing for which it has not received prior reimbursement or is not otherwise indemnified by or on behalf of Investor, (other than with respect

to clause (J) above), (II) require Americold, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to give or agree to give to any other Person any indemnities in connection with the Debt Financing that would give rise to Liability prior to Closing,

(III) require Americold to provide in connection with the Debt Financing any information the disclosure of which would jeopardize any legal or evidentiary privilege or protection or violate any applicable Law or Contract (not entered into in

contemplation hereof) so long as the Company has used commercially reasonable efforts to provide such information in a way that would not result in the foregoing and has notified the Investor that information is being withheld on such basis,

(IV) require Americold to take any action which would result in Americold, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Affiliates incurring any Liability with respect to matters relating to the Debt Financing or

cause any director, officer or employee of Americold, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Affiliates or Representatives to incur any personal liability in connection with the Debt Financing (other than

post-Closing Liabilities of Americold or its Affiliates pursuant to the Americold Credit Support arrangements and the Property Owners and other Affiliates of the Property Owners from and after Closing pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Debt

Financing documentation), or (V) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business operations of Americold, the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) neither Americold, the Company nor its officers or employees

shall be required to execute or enter into any agreement with respect to the Debt Financing (other than (x) those officers or employees (if any) that will have such roles with the obligors of the Debt Financing after Closing, and, other than

the KYC Certifications which are governed by clause (C) above, solely with respect to agreements contingent upon the Closing and that would not be effective prior to the Closing, and (y) the customary authorization letters referred to

above included in any marketing materials for the Debt Financing), and (B) no member, manager or directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be required to approve, adopt, execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to

the Debt Financing that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing (other than those directors (if any) that will have such roles with the obligors of the Debt Financing after Closing, and solely with respect

to agreements contingent upon the Closing and that would not be effective prior to the Closing and other than the KYC Certifications which are governed by clause (C) above).

7.13.2 Americold and the Company hereby consents, on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates, to the use of the

logos of Americold, the Company and each of their respective Affiliates in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos shall be used solely in a manner that is not intended to harm, disparage or otherwise adversely affect

Americold or the Company or their reputation or goodwill.

7.13.3 Upon the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement

in accordance with its terms, Investor shall promptly reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives for all reasonable, documented and invoiced

out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable, documented and invoiced

out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Persons in connection with any cooperation contemplated by this Section 7.13.

7.13.4 All non-public or otherwise confidential information provided by

Americold, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that Investor shall be permitted to

disclose such information to financing sources, other potential sources of capital, rating agencies and prospective lenders and investors in connection with obtaining the Financing or any direct or indirect equity or debt financing, subject to the

recipient thereof entering into customary confidentiality undertakings with respect to such information (including in the form of a customary click-through confidentiality undertaking).

7.13.5 If the Closing does not occur, Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Americold, the Company and its

Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Losses and other Liabilities suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement and preparation of the Debt Financing and any information used

in connection therewith, in each case other than as a result of fraud or willful misconduct by or on behalf of such Person or Representative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the Joint Venture Agreement to

the contrary, including Section 7.13.6 below, Americold hereby acknowledges and agrees (i) that it has reviewed the Debt Commitment Letter including, without limitation, the provisions thereof that require Americold to act as the

Guarantor (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) with respect to the Debt Financing, (ii) that it approves the terms and conditions of the Debt Commitment Letter and (iii) at Closing, it shall execute and deliver the guarantees

contemplated to be delivered by the Guarantor pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter.

7.13.6 Americold and the Company shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 7.13 for the purpose of any condition

set forth in Article 5, unless (i) Americold or the Company has materially breached its obligations under this Section 7.13, (ii) Investor has notified Americold or the Company of such breach in writing in good faith,

detailing in good faith reasonable steps that comply with this Section 7.13 in order to cure such breach, (iii) Americold or the Company has not taken such steps or otherwise cured such breach with reasonably sufficient time prior

to the Outside Closing Date to consummate the Debt Financing, and (iv) the Debt Financing has not been consummated and the material breach by the Company is the proximate cause of such failure.

7.13.7 The Parties understand and agree that all obligations of Americold, the Company and its respective Affiliates relating

to the Financing shall be governed exclusively by this Section 7.13.

7.14 Existing Management Agreement and Affiliate Transactions. Americold shall

terminate (or cause the termination of) the Existing Management Agreements, all Affiliate Transactions and the applicable brokerage agreements with respect to the Properties, the Company and Company Subsidiaries at or prior to Closing. All

termination fees and any other costs and expenses or other Liabilities relating to the termination of any of the foregoing agreements shall be the sole responsibility of Americold, and none of Investor, the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall

have any responsibility or Liability therefor. Americold’s obligations under this Section 7.14 shall survive the Closing.

7.15 Customer Estoppels.

7.15.1 Promptly following the Effective Date, Americold shall prepare and deliver to all tenants and customers under Material

Customer Contracts an estoppel certificate in the form of Exhibit Q-1 (each, a “Required Customer Estoppel”) and request each such tenant or customer to execute and deliver the

Required Customer Estoppel to Investor. Investor shall have the right to review all draft Required Customer Estoppels prior to Americold’s distribution thereof to the respective tenants or customers; provided that Investor shall have three

(3) Business Days after receipt thereof to respond to Americold regarding any objections to the draft Required Customer Estoppels. Americold shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain return of the executed Required Customer Estoppels

in substantially the same form of Exhibit Q-1 (or (a) in form or substance provided for in the terms of the applicable tenant’s or customer’s Material Customer Contract or (b) if a

tenant’s or customer’s Material Customer Contract requires less information than that contained on Exhibit Q-1, then an estoppel certificate only containing the information required in such

tenant’s or customer’s Material Customer Contract), but Americold shall not be obligated to expend any funds, other than to a de minimis amount, in connection with obtaining any such Required Customer Estoppels.

7.15.2 Other than as set forth in Section 7.15.3 and Section 5.1.6, (i) the receipt of Required

Customer Estoppels shall not be a condition to Investor’s obligation to consummate the Closing and (ii) the non-receipt of any Required Customer Estoppel shall not constitute grounds to refuse to

consummate the Closing nor constitute a breach or default by Americold hereunder. Americold’s failure to deliver the Required Customer Estoppels shall not constitute a breach or default by Americold. Americold shall have no obligations under

this Agreement with respect to any estoppel certificates, other than as expressly provided herein with respect to Required Customer Estoppel.

7.15.3 It shall be a condition to Investor’s obligation to consummate the Closing that, at least two (2) Business

Days prior to the Closing Date, Americold shall deliver to Investor all of the Required Customer Estoppels, each of which shall be dated no earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to the Closing; provided, however,

Americold shall have the option to provide its own estoppel in the form of Exhibit Q-2 (an “AMC Estoppel”) in lieu of any Required Customer Estoppel which

(a) Americold fails to obtain, (b) any tenant or customer refuses to provide to Americold or (c) Americold, after exercising commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such Required Customer Estoppel, reasonably determines that

Americold will fail to obtain (any such estoppel provided by Americold, an “AMC Required Customer Estoppel”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Investor shall have no right to object (and such Required

Customer Estoppel shall count toward the Required Customer Estoppel requirement hereunder) if Americold delivers to Investor an AMC Required Customer Estoppel dated no earlier

than ten (10) days prior to Closing which is (i) in substantially the form of Exhibit Q-1, (ii) in form or substance provided for in

the terms of the applicable tenant’s or customer’s Material Customer Contract or (iii) if a tenant’s or customer’s Material Customer Contract requires less information than that contained on Exhibit Q-1, then an estoppel certificate only containing the information required in such tenant’s or customer’s Material Customer Contract (i) in substantially the form of Exhibit Q-2 or (ii) in form or substance provided for in the terms of the applicable tenant’s or customer’s Material Customer Contract in each case, subject to (A) non-material modification thereof, (B) notes of any items which constitute Permitted Exceptions, (C) modifications to conform to the express provisions of the applicable Material Customer

Contract, (D) such tenant or customer referencing a general condition statement such as “we reserve all rights” (or words of similar import) or limiting statements “to tenant’s knowledge” (or words of similar

import), (E) such tenant or customer making assertions that there are amounts due from Americold or a Company Subsidiary allocable to periods prior to the Closing and which, under the terms of this Agreement, Americold has agreed to pay or give a

credit to Investor, (F) provided that such tenant or customer does not allege a default or failure to perform a landlord obligation under the applicable Material Customer Contract, such tenant or customer alleging a failure of the landlord to

keep a Property, building systems or other improvements or equipment in good order and/or repair and (G) such tenant referencing defaults or breaches or other matters subject to Investor’s knowledge; provided, however, such

Required Customer Estoppel shall not count towards the Required Customer Estoppel requirement to the extent, except as set forth above, it alleges any default by Americold or a Company Subsidiary, accrued and outstanding offsets or defenses under

the relevant Material Customer Contract, or contains any material and adverse deviations between (x) the information specified in said Required Customer Estoppel and (y) (i) the representations and warranties of Americold or a Company

Subsidiary set forth in this Agreement or (ii) the applicable Material Customer Contract to which such Required Customer Estoppel relates. Americold shall deliver to Investor any and all Required Customer Estoppels received from tenants or

customers (including tenant or customer marked drafts), whether or not such Required Customer Estoppels meet the requirements of this Section 7.15.3 and whether or not Americold intends to seek a revised or updated Required Customer

Estoppel from such tenant or customer.

7.16 Title Cooperation. In connection with obtaining the Title Policy, Americold and

Investor, as applicable, and to the extent requested by the Title Issuer, shall deliver to the Title Issuer (a) evidence sufficient to establish (i) the legal existence of Americold and Investor and (ii) the authority of the

respective signatories of Americold and Investor to bind Americold and Investor, as the case may be, and (b) a certificate of good standing of Americold, the Property Owners and Investor. In addition, Americold will deliver to the Title Issuer

at Closing, if and to the extent requested by Title Issuer, Owner’s Affidavit, non-imputation affidavit and indemnity, gap indemnity and mechanic’s lien indemnity substantially in the form of

Exhibit P (“Non-Imputation Affidavit”). With respect to any Leasing Costs completed and paid for by Americold prior to Closing, unless sufficiently covered through the

mechanic’s lien indemnity or constituting Permitted Exceptions, Americold shall provide copies of lien waivers or such other documents as the Title Issuer shall require in order to insure over Encumbrances related thereto on the Title Policy.

7.17 Reasonable Best Efforts.

7.17.1 Each of the Parties will use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to

be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the Transaction and to cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing, including to obtain all Required Approvals and Required

Pre-Closing Regulatory Actions and any necessary waivers, consents and approvals from other parties to material Contracts and furnish any information reasonably requested by such third parties. In furtherance

and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Party hereto agrees to make all appropriate filings with respect to the Required Approvals and Required Pre-Closing Regulatory Actions within twenty

(20) Business Days of the date hereof. Americold and its Affiliates shall, at their sole cost and expense, (a) make all appropriate filings with respect to the Required Regulatory Actions and Required

Pre-Closing Regulatory Actions on behalf of Americold and its Affiliates, and (b) be responsible for all Liabilities relating to any delay in or failure to make such filings unless such delay or failure

directly results from actions taken by Investor. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain early termination or expiration of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, (ii) respond as promptly as practicable to

any requests for additional information or documentary material issued by any Governmental Authority, and (iii) resolve any investigation, objection or challenge asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions. Investor

shall be responsible for all HSR Act filing fees and any filing fees in connection with any other Antitrust Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 7.17 or elsewhere in this Agreement

shall require Americold, the Investor, the Investor Parties, or any of their respective Affiliates to agree to or otherwise be required to take or agree to any action or omission, make or agree to any undertaking, or agree to any regulatory remedy

with respect to (i) the assets or business of any of their respective Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Investor Upper-Tier Affiliates) or (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing, the

Parties shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with obtaining any approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any applicable Governmental Authority required to consummate the

transactions contemplated hereby, and shall, unless prohibited by law, (i) promptly inform the other party of any material communication from any applicable Governmental Authority; (ii) consult and cooperate with, and consider in

good faith the views of, one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party in connection with proceedings under the HSR Act

or the Antitrust Laws, provided that copies of filings made under the HSR Act need not be shared and materials may be redacted as needed to remove commercially sensitive information or protect a legal privilege; (iii) promptly provide each

other with copies of all substantive written communications to or from any applicable Governmental Authority; and (iv) not participate independently in any meeting with a Governmental Authority without providing reasonable advance notice to the

other party and an opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting.

7.17.2 Investor covenants and agrees that, between the date of this

Agreement and the earliest to occur of the termination of this Agreement and Closing, Investor shall not, and shall not permit the Investor Sponsor to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial

portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business of any Person or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets if such business competes in any line of business of

the Company and the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation, in each case that would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or

increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorization, consent, order, declaration or approval of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the Transactions or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, or

(ii) materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Transactions.

7.18 Access to Information. Americold agrees to use its

reasonable best efforts to provide Investor with such information in respect of Americold and its Affiliates that is reasonably requested by Investor in connection with the completion of its “anti-money laundering” and “OFAC”

compliance requirements required by applicable Law and undertakings applicable to Investor or its Affiliates in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that this Section 7.18 shall expressly

exclude, and not apply to, any public shareholder in Americold Realty Trust.

7.19 Exclusivity. Section 6 of the Access

Agreement is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety, mutatis mutandis; provided, that references to the ‘Exclusivity Period’ in the Access Agreement shall refer to the Interim Period and shall be binding on Americold as if it

was a party thereto and it shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the terms thereof.

accordance with Section 4.1; (b) Americold has confirmed by irrevocable and unconditional written notice to Investor that all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 5.2 have been and continue to be satisfied or

validly waived (other than those conditions that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at Closing and each of which are capable of being satisfied if the Closing occurs) or that it is irrevocably and unconditionally waiving

any unsatisfied conditions in Section 5.2 (other than any such conditions that cannot be waived under, or without violating, applicable Law, which conditions shall be satisfied), (c) Americold is ready, willing and able to consummate the

Closing in accordance with this Agreement and will consummate the Closing if Investor does; (d) Investor fails to complete the Closing within the later (i) the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to

three (3) Business Day period, then Americold shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Investor.

8.1.2 If any of Americold, the

Pre-Restructuring Property Owners or the Americold JV Member has breached any covenant or agreement of such Person set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of such Person has become

untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 5.1.1 or Section 5.1.7 would not be satisfied; then Investor shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Americold; provided,

however, that, (i) if such breach is curable, then Investor may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1.2 unless such breach has not been cured by the date which is the earlier of (x) two (2) Business Days prior to

the Outside Closing Date and (y) thirty (30) days after Investor notifies Americold of such breach and (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1.2 will not be available to Investor at any time that

Investor is then in material breach of any covenant, agreement or representation and warranty hereunder, in each case such that the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.1 and Section 5.2.5 would not be satisfied.

8.1.3 If Investor has breached any covenant or agreement of Investor set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or

warranty of Investor has become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.1 and Section 5.2.5 would not be satisfied; then Americold shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written

notice to Investor; provided, however, that, (i) if such breach is curable, then Americold may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1.3 unless such breach has not been cured by the date which is the earlier of

(x) two (2) Business Days prior to the Outside Closing Date and (y) thirty (30) days after Americold notifies Investor of such breach and (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1.3 will not

be available to Americold at any time that any of Americold, the Pre-Restructuring Property Owners or the Americold JV Member is then in material breach of any covenant, agreement or representation and

warranty hereunder, in each case such that the conditions set forth in Section 5.1.1 or Section 5.1.7 would not be satisfied.

8.1.4 If (x) any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an Order or enacted a Law permanently

restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (y) such Order or Law shall have become final and nonappealable, either Americold or Investor may terminate the Agreement

upon written notice to the other Parties; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1.4 shall not be available to (i) Investor if such Order or Law was primarily due to the material

breach of such Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement and such breach was the proximate cause of such prohibition or restraint; or (ii) Americold if such Order or Law or other action was primarily due to the material breach by

such Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement and such breach was the proximate cause of such prohibition or restraint;

8.1.5 If a Material Casualty Trigger or Material Condemnation Trigger has

Agreement or (y) Americold if Americold is then in material breach of this Agreement.

8.1.7 Americold and the

Investor may terminate this Agreement by mutual written agreement of the Parties.

8.2 Effect of Termination.

8.2.1 In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement will cease to have force and

effect, and there will be no further liability or obligation on the part of the Parties, except that: (a) the provisions of this Section 8.2, Section 8.3, Section 7.8, Section 7.9 and

Article 9 (other than Section 9.10 and 9.12.2) and the Confidentiality Agreement will survive after any such termination (for the extent of the periods specified therein); (b) no such termination shall relieve

Investor from paying the Investor Termination Fee (and any Termination Fee Expenses and Interest, if any) pursuant to Sections 8.2.2 and 8.2.3 below and (c) nothing herein, except for and subject in all cases to

Section 8.2.2 (including any limitations of liability set forth therein), shall relieve any Party from liability for any Willful and Material Breach by such Party of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

8.2.2

(a)

(i) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1.1 or Section 8.1.3 (or by

Investor under Section 8.1.6 and at the time of such termination, this Agreement could have been terminated by the Company under Section 8.1.1 or Section 8.1.3), then the Investor shall pay to Americold (or to an

Affiliate thereof designated by Americold) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Americold, the Investor Termination Fee promptly but no later than five (5) Business Days following the date of such

termination. If any Investor Termination Fee will be paid, the Investor shall pay to Americold such Investor Termination Fee deposited into escrow, if any, in accordance with the next sentence, an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of

Investor Termination Fee and (B) the sum of (x) the maximum amount that can be paid to Americold without causing Americold Realty Trust to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code determined as if the

payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Sections 856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3) of the Code

(“Qualifying Income”), as determined by Americold Realty Trust’s independent certified public accountants, plus (y) in the event Americold (or Americold Realty Trust)

receives either (I) a letter from Americold (or Americold Realty Trust)’s outside counsel or tax advisor indicating that Americold (or Americold Realty Trust) has received a ruling the IRS described in Section 8.2.2(a)(ii) or

(II) Americold or Americold Realty Trust’s outside counsel or tax advisor has rendered an opinion as described in Section 8.2.2(a)(ii), an amount equal to the Investor Termination Fee, less the amount payable under

Section 8.2.2(a)(i)(B)(x) above.

(ii) The escrow agreement with respect to such escrow shall provide that the

Investor Termination Fee in escrow or any portion thereof shall not be released to Americold, and Americold shall not be entitled to such amount, unless the escrow agent receives any one or combination of the following: (i) a letter from

Americold Realty Trust’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to Americold without causing Americold Realty Trust to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and

(3) of the Code in such year determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying Income or a subsequent letter from the Americold Realty Trust’s accountants revising that amount, in which case the escrow agent shall

release such amount to Americold, or (ii) a letter from Americold (or Americold Realty Trust)’s outside counsel or tax advisor indicating that Americold Realty Trust received a ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by Americold of

the Investor Termination Fee would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code (or alternatively, Americold or Americold Realty Trust’s outside

counsel or tax advisor rendered an opinion to the effect that the receipt by Americold of the Investor Termination Fee would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and

(3) of the Code), in which case the escrow agent shall release the remainder of the Investor Termination Fee to Americold.

(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason (whether willfully, materially, intentionally, unintentionally or

otherwise) without the consummation of the Closing, including in the event the Investor Termination Fee is paid to Americold pursuant to this Section 8.2.2, then the payment of the Investor Termination Fee, when and if payable pursuant

to Section 8.2.2(a) (plus any Termination Fee Expenses and Interest pursuant to Section 8.2.3) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy, whether at law, in equity, in contract or in tort, granted by statute, willful breach or

otherwise, of Americold and its Affiliates and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, equityholders, managers, members, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates or any former, current or future officers,

directors, partners, equityholders,

managers, members, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing against Investor and its Affiliates and any of their respective former, current or

future officers, directors, partners, equityholders, managers, members, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing or any former, current or future officers, directors, partners, equityholders,

managers, members, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, assignees or successors of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Investor Related Parties”) or any Debt Financing Entity for any loss suffered in respect of

relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Investor Equity Support, the Investor TECL, the Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matter forming

the basis for the termination of this Agreement, including as a result of the failure of the Transaction to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, none of the Investor Related Parties shall have any further

liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, provided that (i) the payment of the Investor Termination Fee shall not relieve any obligations owed to the Company under the Confidentiality Agreement

pursuant to the terms thereof, (ii) this Section 8.2.2 shall not limit an action for specific performance pursuant to Section 9.12 prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1. For the

avoidance of doubt, while Americold or the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance and the payment of Investor Termination Fee (plus any Termination Fee Expenses and Interest payable pursuant to Section 8.2.3), under no

circumstances will Americold and the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance to cause the Closing to be consummated and Investor Termination Fee. In no event shall Investor be required to pay or cause to be

paid the Investor Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

8.2.3 The Parties hereby agree that (i) the agreements

contained in Section 8.2.2 and Section 8.2.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, Americold would not enter into this Agreement, and (ii) the Investor

Termination Fee is not a penalty but is liquidated damages, and that it would be extremely difficult and impractical to determine the amount and extent of detriment to the Company and that the Investor Termination Fee is a reasonable estimate of the

Company’s damages. If Investor fails promptly to pay any amount due pursuant to Section 8.2, it shall also pay (or be liable for and the Investor Sponsor shall be liable pursuant to the Investor TECL for) any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Americold and the Company in connection with enforcing this Agreement, together with interest on such unpaid amount, at a rate per

annum, compounded on a daily basis, equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition from (and including) the date such amount was required to be paid up to (but excluding) the payment date (such costs and

expenses incurred and interest, collectively, the “Termination Fee Expenses and Interest”). In no event shall the Termination Fee Expenses and Interest exceed an aggregate amount equal to the Termination Fee Cap.

8.3 RWI and Limitation on Liability.

8.3.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, and regardless of whether Investor obtains a

RWI, except in cases of Fraud by Americold or its Affiliates: (i) none of the AMC Warranties hereunder shall survive Closing, (ii) following Closing, neither Americold nor any Americold Indemnified Parties shall have any direct or indirect

liability to the extent arising out of any breach or inaccuracy of any of the AMC Warranties hereunder, and (iii) following Closing, neither Investor nor any of any its affiliates shall have the right to make or bring any Claim against any

Americold or any Americold Indemnified Party to the extent arising out of any breach or inaccuracy of any AMC Warranty hereunder, with all such Claims being fully and forever released and waived by Investor, on behalf of itself and its affiliates,

effective as of Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that nothing in this Section 8.3.1 is intended to limit or affect the ability of Investor to recover under the RWI or any of Investor’s remedies in the case of

Fraud. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary but subject to Section 8.1, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any claim in respect of Fraud.

8.3.2 Investor may obtain a buyer-side representations and warranties insurance policy

(the “RWI”) in connection with this Agreement and the Closing Documents and the transaction contemplated hereby and thereby, which shall insure Investor following Closing against losses, liabilities, claims, damages,

costs and expenses suffered or incurred by Investor or any of its Affiliates and their respective partners, managers, members, owners, equityholders, officers, employees, consultants, Representatives, successors and assigns to the extent arising or

resulting from inaccuracies in any of the AMC Warranties hereunder. The RWI shall be on terms and conditions negotiated by Investor, including the limitations and exclusions set forth in such policy; provided, that the RWI shall contain a

provision or endorsement reasonably acceptable to Americold whereby the issuer of the RWI waives all rights of subrogation against Americold, its Affiliates and Representatives, in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated

hereby (the “Subrogation Waiver”), subject to such issuer’s exception for fraud. Investor shall not waive, amend or modify the Subrogation Waiver, or allow the Subrogation Waiver to be waived, amended or modified,

without the prior written consent of Americold (which may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in Americold’s sole and absolute discretion). Investor shall be responsible for payment of the premium and all other costs (including all related

brokerage fees and taxes, but excluding each party’s attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with the issuance of the RWI. Americold shall reasonably cooperate with Investor in obtaining the RWI, including providing any necessary and

reasonable due diligence materials as may be reasonably requested or reasonably required by the insurer under the RWI; provided, that in so cooperating, Americold shall not incur, be required to incur, or become obligated to incur, or be

bound with respect to, any cost or expense (except for Americold’s own legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation). From and after Closing, (a) Investor’s right to pursue claims against the RWI shall

constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of Investor and (b) the RWI shall constitute the sole and exclusive recourse of Investor, in each case, with respect to any claim relating to a breach of the AMC Warranties hereunder (whether any such

claim shall be made in contract, breach of warranty, tort or otherwise), except in the case of Fraud. The provisions of this Section 8.3.2 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein.

8.4 No Consequential Damages; No Personal Liability. No Party shall have liability

arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby for any punitive damages, consequential damages, special damages, treble damages or damages for lost profits.

ARTICLE 9 MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the

Parties. No Party shall have the right to assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any such prohibited

assignment shall be null and void; provided, that (i) Investor may assign this Agreement without consent to any of its Affiliates (provided that any such assignment (v) shall not relieve Investor of its obligations hereunder,

(w) does not cause or increase any deduction or withholding on any amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement, (x) does not increase the time required to obtain any Required Approvals, (y) does not breach the Debt Commitment Letter or

any Debt Financing or (z) does not increase, other than to a de minimis extent, any of Americold’s or any of its Affiliates’ obligations under this Agreement) and (ii) Investor may assign its rights (but not its obligations)

without consent hereunder as collateral to its debt financing sources. No assignment shall relieve the assignor of any obligations or liabilities under this Agreement. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any

Person other than the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy or Claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this

Section 9.1. The obligations in this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

9.2

Termination/Merger. Upon any termination of this Agreement as provided herein, the Parties shall have no further liability or obligations under this Agreement except for such liabilities and obligations as expressly survive the termination of

this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly herein stated to survive, all other representations, covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein shall merge into and be superseded by the various documents executed and delivered at Closing and

shall not survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, (i) all covenants and agreements that contemplate performance after the Closing shall survive in accordance

with the terms hereof from and after the Closing and (ii) Section 8.2 and this Article IX shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

9.3 Integration; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Joint Venture Agreement, the Asset Transfer Agreement, the Project Management

Agreement and each other Transaction Document (as defined in the Joint Venture Agreement), embodies and constitutes part of an integrated transaction and, collectively, embodies and constitutes the entire understanding among the parties with respect

to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be

waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the Party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is

sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument. No waiver by any Party hereto of any failure or refusal by any other Party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or

refusal to so comply. This Agreement supersedes any prior oral or written agreements among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The parties acknowledge that each of the foregoing agreements has been entered into in contemplation

of, and in reliance upon, the other such agreements and that none of such agreements would have been entered into but for the entering into of each of the other such agreements.

9.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard

for the conflict of laws principles thereof).

9.5 Captions Not Binding; Exhibits. The captions in this Agreement are inserted for

reference only and in no way limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or of any of the provisions hereof. All Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto shall be incorporated by reference as if set out herein in full.

9.6 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective

successors and permitted assigns.

9.7 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any

Persons or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable

shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties intend that the provisions of Section 8.2 and

Article 9, including the remedies (and limitations thereon) be construed as integral provisions of this Agreement and that such provisions, remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that diminishes a party’s

rights hereunder or increases a party’s liability hereunder.

9.8 Notices. All notices, demands, requests, approvals or other

communications which may be or are required to be given, served, delivered, or sent by any Party to any other Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be (I) delivered to such Party via

e-mail (with non-automated written confirmation of receipt) or (II) (a) mailed by first-class, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage

prepaid, (b) sent by nationally recognized overnight courier, or (c) delivered by hand delivery (including delivery by nationally recognized courier) to the addresses, as applicable, set forth on Schedule 9.8 hereto. Each Party may

designate by notice in writing a new address to which any notice, demand, request or communication may thereafter be so given, served, delivered or sent. Each notice, demand, request, or communication mailed, sent or delivered in the manner

described above shall be deemed, given, served or delivered when sent in the case of delivery described in clause (I), or at such time as the form of delivery described in clause (II) is received by the addressee upon presentation

or at such times as delivery is attempted in the case of any change in address as to which notice was not given to the other Party as required hereunder or in the case of a refusal to accept delivery. Attorneys may deliver notices on behalf of their

clients.

9.9 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in

counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by electronic means shall be valid and effective to bind the Party so

signing.

9.10 Additional Agreements; Further Assurances. Each of the Parties shall execute and deliver such documents as the other

shall reasonably request in order to consummate and make effective the Transaction; provided that the execution and delivery of such documents shall not result in any additional liability or cost to the executing Party; provided,

further, that none of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates shall be obligated to make any payments or otherwise pay any consideration to any third party to obtain any applicable consents, waiver or approval.

9.11 Construction. The Parties acknowledge that each Party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal

rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement, any modification hereof or the Joint Venture Agreement.

9.12 Specific Performance.

9.12.1 The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy,

would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the Parties fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement

and the Transaction. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and

provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 9.4 without proof of damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral

part of the Transaction and without that right neither Investor nor Americold would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for

any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or

injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.12 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with

any such order or injunction.

9.12.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this

Agreement, it is explicitly agreed that the right of Americold or any other Person to seek specific performance in connection with enforcing Investor’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded under the Investor Equity Support and

Investors’ obligations to consummate the Transaction (but not the right of Americold to seek such injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief for any other reason) shall only be available as a remedy prior to the valid

termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, and be subject to the requirements that (i) (A) all of the conditions in Section 5.1 have been satisfied or waived at the time the Closing is required to occur pursuant to

Section 4.1 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied at the Closing) and all such conditions remain satisfied at the time

specific performance is granted pursuant to this Section 9.12.2 and at the Closing and (B) Investor has failed to complete the Closing at the time the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 4.1, (ii) the

Debt Financing (or Substitute Financing, if applicable pursuant to Section 7.12) has been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing (but subject to the occurrence of the Closing) and

(iii) Americold has irrevocably confirmed in a written notice delivered to Investor that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied or irrevocably waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to

be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied or waived by Americold at the Closing) and (B) if the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then the Closing will occur.

9.12.3 The Parties hereto further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 9.12,

Americold shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 9.12 shall require Americold to institute any Claim (or

limit Americold’s right to institute any Claim) for an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief under this Section 9.12 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Sections 8.1 (and

receiving the Investor Termination Fee), nor shall the commencement of any Claim pursuant to this Section 9.12 or anything set forth in this Section 9.12 restrict or limit Americold’s right to terminate this Agreement

in accordance with the terms of Sections 8.1; provided that in no event shall Americold or any other party be entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the Closing to occur, on the one hand, and the

Investor Termination Fee, on the other hand.

9.13 VENUE. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTION 9.17, EACH OF THE PARTIES

HERETO HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE DELAWARE CHANCERY COURT (OR IF SUCH COURT SHALL BE UNAVAILABLE, ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN DELAWARE), AND, IN EACH CASE, APPELLATE COURTS THEREFROM, OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING

AGAINST IT ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO ANY RELATED PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS WHETHER ON THE GROUNDS OF VENUE, RESIDENCE OR DOMICILE OR ON THE GROUND THAT THE RELATED

PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

9.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTION 9.17, TO

THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY ANY OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE TRANSACTION, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY

9.17 Debt Financing Parties. Notwithstanding anything in

this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Parties on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates hereby: (a) agrees that any legal action (whether in Law or in equity, whether in Contract or in tort or otherwise), involving the Debt Financing

Parties, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Definitive Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, shall be

subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America, in each case, sitting in the borough of Manhattan and any appellate court thereof (each such court, the “Subject

Courts”) and each Party irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such legal action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such Subject Courts and agrees that any such dispute shall be governed by, and construed in

support any legal action (including any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third party claim of any kind or description, whether in Law or in equity, whether in Contract or in tort or otherwise), against the Debt Financing Parties in any

way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Definitive Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder in any forum other

Section 9.17, Section 8.1.1, Section 8.2 and the Exhibit A (or the definitions of any terms used in this Section 9.17,

Section 8.1.1, Section 8.2 or Section 8.3) and (ii) to the extent any amendments to any provision of this Section 9.17,

Section 8.1.1, Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 (or the definitions of any terms used in this Section 9.17, Section 8.1.1,

Section 8.2 or Section 8.3) are materially adverse to the Debt Financing Parties, such provisions shall not be amended without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Parties party to the

Debt Commitment Letter that have consent rights with respect to such matter. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 9.17 shall in any way affect any Party’s or any of their

9.18 State-Specific Provisions.

9.18.1 California.

(a) Natural Hazard Disclosure Requirement. Investor and Americold acknowledge that Americold is required to disclose if

any of the Property lies within the following natural hazard areas or zones: (a) a special flood hazard area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (California Civil Code Section 1102.17); (b) an area of potential flooding

(California Government Code Section 8589.4); (c) a very high fire hazard severity zone (California Government Code Section 51183.5); (d) a wild land area that may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards (Public Resources Code Section

4136); (e) an earthquake fault zone (California Public Resources Code Section 2621.9); or (f) a seismic hazard zone (Public Resources Code Section 2694). Americold shall engage, at its sole cost and expense, the services of a reputable company

identified by the Title Issuer specializing in providing natural hazards disclosure information (“Natural Hazard Expert”) to examine maps and other information specifically made available to the public by government

agencies for the purposes of enabling Americold to fulfill its disclosure obligations, if and to the extent such obligations exist, with respect to the natural hazards referred to above and to report the results of its examinations to Investor and

Americold in writing fifteen (15) days before the Closing Date (the “Natural Hazard Disclosure Reports”). The Natural Hazard Disclosure Reports fully and completely discharge Americold from its disclosure obligations, if

and to the extent any such obligations exist. Investor acknowledges that the Property may be within a special study zone as designated under the Alquist-Priolo-Geologic Hazard Act (Section 2621 et seq. of

the California Public Resources Code); if the Property is so located, construction or development on the Property of any structures intended for human occupancy may be subject to the findings of

a geological report prepared by a geologist registered in the State of California. Investor acknowledges and agrees that Americold has not made, is not making and shall make no representation or warranty of any nature concerning the accuracy or

completeness of the Natural Hazard Disclosure Reports, notwithstanding any statement, term or condition set forth in the Natural Hazard Disclosure Reports. Investor acknowledges and agrees that the matters set forth in the Natural Hazard Disclosure

Reports may change at or prior to the Closing and that Americold has no obligation to update, modify or supplement the Natural Hazard Disclosure Reports.

(b) California Civil Code Section 1101.5. In accordance with the requirements of California Civil Code

Section 1101.5(e), Americold hereby discloses to Investor the following: (i) California Civil Code Section 1101.5(a) provides as follows: “On or before January 1, 2019, all noncompliant plumbing fixtures in any multifamily

residential real property and in any commercial real property shall be replaced with water conserving plumbing fixtures”; and (ii) to Americold’s knowledge, the Properties do not contain any such noncompliant plumbing fixtures.

Civil Code Section 1662 and hereby agree that the provisions of Section 7.5 of this Agreement shall govern their obligations in the event of damage or destruction to any Property or condemnation of any Property.

(d) California Civil Code Section 1654. Americold and Investor waive the effect of California Civil Code

Section 1654 which interprets uncertainties in a contract against the party who drafted the contract.

9.18.2 New

Jersey.

(a) Bulk Sales. Americold shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Investor from and against any and

all out-of-pocket liabilities, losses, claims (including third party claims), demands, damages (of any nature whatsoever), causes of action, debts, controversies, costs,

penalties, fines, judgments, reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees and costs and experts’ fees that directly result from a failure to comply with N.J.S.A. 54:32B-22(c) and N.J.S.A. 54:50-38 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended of the New Jersey Bulk Sales Statutes in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for each Applicable Entity that owns a

Property in the State of New Jersey.

(b) To the extent applicable, Americold and each Applicable Entity agrees to

comply with and perform all obligations under New Jersey’s Service Worker Retention Law, N.J.S.A. 34:21-16 et seq. (“SWRL”), as may be triggered by the transactions contemplated

by this Agreement, including, without limitation, Americold’s notice and information production obligations and paying the cost of any obligation imposed on Investor to retain qualifying “Service Employees” (as defined in SWRL)

post-Closing. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

9.19 Joinder by Pre-Restructuring Property Owners. Each of the Pre-Restructuring Property Owners hereby join this Agreement to acknowledge and agree to be joint and several with Americold

for, subject to the terms, provisions, conditions and limitations contained in this Agreement, all obligations (including, without limitation, Americold’s obligations to effectuate the Restructuring in accordance with certain of the terms of

this Agreement) and liabilities of Americold under this Agreement arising from a breach or default by Americold under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Pre-Restructuring Property Owners shall not

be deemed included in or a part of “Americold” for any purpose of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Pre-Restructuring Property

Owners shall have any obligations or liabilities under this Agreement whatsoever as of and following the Closing.

9.20 Dispute

Consolidation. In the event that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement involves substantially the same facts, issues or parties as any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Joint

Venture Agreement, the Asset Transfer Agreement or the Property Management Agreement, the parties agree that such disputes may, at the election of any party, be consolidated into a single proceeding in the forum and in accordance with the dispute

resolution procedures set forth in the applicable agreement that was first the subject of a filed claim or proceeding, and each party hereby consents to such consolidation. The parties further agree to cooperate in good faith to facilitate the

efficient resolution of any such consolidated proceedings.
