Loan No. RI0910T01C




REVOLVING TERM LOAN SUPPLEMENT
THIS SUPPLEMENT to the Master Loan Agreement dated June 24, 2014 (the "MLA"), is
entered into as of March 20, 2015 between FARM CREDIT SERVICES OF AMERICA, FLCA ("Lead Lender") and GOLDEN GRAIN ENERGY, LLC, Mason City, Iowa (the "Company"), and amends and restates the Supplement dated January 30, 2015 and numbered RI0910T01B.
SECTION I. The Revolving Term Loan Commitment. On the terms and conditions set forth in the MLA and this Supplement, Lead Lender agrees to make loans to the Company from the date hereof, up to and including February 1, 2020, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at any one time outstanding, $20,000,000.00 less the amounts scheduled to be repaid during the period set forth below in Section 5 (the "Commitment"). Within the limits of the Commitment, the Company may borrow, repay, and reborrow.
The Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to permanently reduce the amount of the Commitment by giving Agent (as that term is defined in the MLA) ten (10) days prior written notice. Said election shall be made only if the Company is not in default at the time of the election and will remain in compliance with all financial covenants after such reduction. Any such reduction shall be treated as an early, voluntary reduction of the Commitment amount and shall not delay or reduce the amount of any scheduled Commitment reduction under Section 5 hereof (which reductions shall continue in the increments and on the dates determined in accordance with Section 5), but rather shall result in an earlier expiration of the Commitment and final maturity of the loans.
SECTION 2. Purpose. The purpose of the Commitment is to provide working capital to the Company.
SECTION 3. Term. Intentionally Omitted.
SECTION 4. Interest. The Company agrees to pay interest on the unpaid balance of the loan(s) in accordance with one or more of the following interest rate options, as selected by the Company:
(A) One-Month LIBOR Index Rate. At a rate (rounded upward to the nearest 1/100th and adjusted for reserves required on "Eurocurrency Liabilities" [as hereinafter defined] for banks subject to "FRB Regulation D" [as hereinafter defined] or required by any other federal law or regulation) per annum equal at all times to 3.15% above the rate reported at 11:00 a.m. London time for the offering of one (1)-month U.S. dollars deposits, by Bloomberg Information Services (or any successor or substitute service providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided by such service, as determined by Agent from time to time, for the purpose of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank market) on the first "U.S. Banking Day" (as hereinafter defined) in each week, with such rate to change weekly on such day. The rate shall be reset automatically, without the necessity of notice being provided to the Company or any other party, on the first "U.S. Banking Day" of each succeeding week, and each change in the rate shall be applicable to all

(A)Quoted Rate, At a fixed rate per annum to be quoted by Agent in its sole discretion in each instance. Under this option, rates may be fixed on such balances and for such periods, as may be agreeable to Agent in its sole discretion in each instance, provided that: (1) the minimum fixed period shall be 30 days; (2) amounts may be fixed in increments of $100,000,00 or multiples thereof; and (3) the maximum number of fixes in place at any one time shall be five.

Under this option: (I) rates may be fixed for "Interest Periods" (as hereinafter defined) of 1, 2, 3, 6, or 12 months, as selected by the Company; (2) amounts may be fixed in increments of $100,000.00 or multiples thereof; (3) the maximum number of fixes in place at any one time shall be five; and (4) rates may only be fixed on a "Banking Day" (as hereinafter defined) on three Banking Days' prior written notice. For purposes hereof: (a) 'LIBOR" shall mean the rate (rounded upward to the nearest sixteenth and adjusted for reserves required on "Eurocurrency Liabilities" [as hereinafter defined] for banks subject to "FRB Regulation D" [as herein defined] or required by any other federal law or regulation) reported at 11:00 a.m. London time two Banking Days before the commencement of the Interest Period for the offering of U.S. dollar deposits in the London interbank market for the Interest Period designated by the Company, by Bloomberg Information Services (or any successor or substitute service providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided by such service, as determined by Agent from time to time, for the purpose of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank market); (b) "Banking Day" shall mean a day on which Agent is open for business, dealings in U.S. dollar deposits are being carried out in the London interbank market, and banks are open for business in New York City and London, England; (c) "Interest Period" shall mean a period commencing on the date this option is to take effect and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month or the month that is 2, 3, 6, or 12 months thereafter, as the case may be; provided, however, that: (i) in the event such ending day is not a Banking Day, such period shall be extended to the next Banking Day unless such next Banking Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case it shall end on the preceding Banking Day; and (ii) if there is no numerically corresponding day in the month, then such period shall end on the last Banking Day in the relevant month; (d) "Eurocurrency Liabilities" shall have meaning as set forth in "FRB Regulation D"; and (e) "FRB Regulation D" shall mean Regulation D as promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 CFR Part 204, as amended.
The Company shall select the applicable rate option at the time it requests a loan hereunder and may, subject to the limitations set forth above, elect to convert balances bearing interest at the variable rate option to one of the fixed rate options. Upon the expiration of any fixed rate period, interest shall automatically accrue at the variable rate option unless the amount fixed is repaid or fixed for an additional period in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, rates may not be
