Fitch. 
  

											
	  	  	 Pricing Levels
	  	Applicable
Eurodollar Rate
Margin	 	 	Applicable
Alternate Base
Rate Margin	 
	 I
	  	 > BBB+ or Baa1
	  	 	1.25	% 	 	 	0.25	% 
	 II.
	  	 BBB or Baa2
	  	 	1.50	% 	 	 	0.50	% 
	 III.
	  	 BBB- or Baa3
	  	 	1.75	% 	 	 	0.75	% 
	 IV.
	  	 BB+ and Ba1
	  	 	2.00	% 	 	 	1.00	% 
	 V.
	  	 < BB+ and Ba1
	  	 	2.25	% 	 	 	1.25	% 

 For purposes of this Section 2.5, with respect to the rating of the Company’s unsecured senior long-term
indebtedness (without giving effect to any third-party credit enhancement) on any date of determination, (i) “Pricing Level I” means a rating of BBB+ or higher by S&P, or a rating of BBB+ or higher by Fitch, or a rating of
Baa1 or higher by Moody’s, (ii) “Pricing Level II” means a rating of BBB or higher by S&P, or a rating of BBB or higher by Fitch, or a rating of Baa2 or higher by Moody’s, and that the Company does not qualify for
Pricing Level I, (iii) “Pricing Level III” means a rating of BBB- or higher by S&P, or a rating of BBB- or higher by Fitch, or a rating of Baa3 or higher by Moody’s, and that the Company does not qualify for either
Pricing Level I or Pricing Level II, (iv) “Pricing Level IV” means a rating of BB+ or higher by S&P, or a rating of BB+ or higher by Fitch, or a rating of Ba1 or higher by Moody’s, and that the Company does not qualify

Company’s unsecured senior long-term indebtedness (without giving effect to any third-party credit enhancement) is split-rated by S&P, Fitch and 

  
 15 









 
Moody’s, as applicable, and if all three ratings are at different levels, then the operative rating shall be the middle rating. For example, if the S&P rating on any date of
determination is BBB+, the Moody’s rating on such date is Baa2, and the Fitch rating on such date is BBB-, Pricing Level II will be in effect. If the Company’s unsecured senior long-term indebtedness (without giving effect to any
third-party credit enhancement) is split-rated by one of S&P, Fitch or Moody’s, as applicable, and the other two agencies share the same rating, then the operative rating shall be the rating shared by the two agencies. For example, if the
S&P rating on any date of determination is BBB-, the Moody’s rating on such date is Baa2, and the Fitch rating on such date is BBB-, Pricing Level III will be in effect on such date. The credit rating in effect on any date for purposes of
this Section 2.5 is that rating in effect at the close of business on such date. If at any time neither S&P nor Moody’s provides a rating of the Company’s senior unsecured long-term indebtedness (without third-party credit
enhancement), Pricing Level V shall at such time be in effect. 
 2.6. Interest Rates and Selection of Eurodollar Rates.
Except as provided in this Section 2.6, the Loans shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company may elect from time to time to pay interest at a Eurodollar Rate and for
an Interest Period selected hereunder for all or any portion of the Loans, by giving the Administrative Agent the appropriate Borrowing Notice (in the case of a new Loan) or a Rate Selection Notice (in the case of an existing Loan) in not less than
the Minimum Notice Period applicable thereto. The unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest
Period at the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, and during such Interest Period the Rate Option applicable to such Eurodollar Loan shall not be changed by the Company or any Bank. If, at the end of an Interest Period for an outstanding
Eurodollar Loan, the Company fails to select a new Rate Option by giving a Rate Selection Notice in not less than the Minimum Notice Period provided therefor or to pay such Eurodollar Loan, then such Loan shall be an Alternate Base Rate Loan on and
after the last day of such Interest Period until paid or until the Effective Date of a new Rate Option. The Company may not select a Eurodollar Rate to apply to any portion of the Loans if, on the Effective Date of such selection, there exists an
Event of Default or Potential Default. 
 2.7. Restrictions on Loans, Interest Periods and Conversion. Each conversion of
a Loan to a new Rate Option shall be in an amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Eurodollar Loans at any one time outstanding may not be divided into more than 10 Interest Periods without the prior consent of
the Administrative Agent. 
 2.8. Interest Basis and Payment Dates. Interest on Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be
calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year and interest on Eurodollar Loans and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. The interest rate on Alternate Base Rate Loans shall
change when and as the Alternate Base Rate changes. Interest accrued on Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the 1st day of each March, June, September and December to occur after the Closing Date, and upon any
prepayment and on the Maturity Date (whether by acceleration or otherwise). Interest accrued on Eurodollar Loans shall be payable on the last day of the applicable Interest Period and, in the case of an Interest Period longer than three months,
interest shall also be payable every three months during the Interest Period, upon any prepayment (whether due to 

  
 16 









 
acceleration or otherwise) and on the Maturity Date. If any Loan is not paid when due, whether at its scheduled maturity or upon acceleration, without duplication and notwithstanding anything in
any Loan Document to the contrary, interest shall thereafter be payable on demand at the rate set forth in Section 7.2.2. Interest shall be payable for the day a Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if
payment is received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. New York City time. 
 2.9. Payments. 

2.9.1. Payment to Administrative Agent. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and
other amounts to be made by the Company under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, recoupment or setoff in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds, to the
Administrative Agent to an account maintained by the Administrative Agent with Bank of America or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the date on which such payment shall become due (and
the Administrative Agent may in its discretion deem any payment made after such time on such due date to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). 
 2.9.2. Application of Payments. Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note, specify to the
Administrative Agent the Loans or other amounts payable by the Company hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and if it fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may distribute
such payment to the Banks in such manner as it or the Required Banks may determine to be appropriate, subject to Section 2.18 hereof). 
 2.9.3. Payment to Banks. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any Note for account of a Bank shall be paid promptly to such Bank, in immediately available
funds, for account of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Installation for the Loan in respect of which such payment is made. 

2.9.4. Extension for Business Day. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note would otherwise fall on a day
which is not a Business Day such date shall (unless otherwise expressly provided herein) be extended to the immediately succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.

 2.9.5. Funding by Banks; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from a Bank prior to the proposed date of the initial Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of any initial funding of Alternate Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such funding) that such Bank will not make available
to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.2.2 (or, in the case of a funding of
Alternate Base Rate Loans, that such Bank has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.2.2) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount.


  
 17 









 
In such event, if a Bank has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Bank and the Company severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Company to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Bank, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus
any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Company, the interest rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate
Loans. If the Company and such Bank shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Company the amount of such interest paid by the Company for such
period. If such Bank pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Company shall be without prejudice to any
claim the Company may have against a Bank that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 2.9.6.
Payments by Company; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks
hereunder that the Company will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Banks the amount due.
In such event, if the Company has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Banks severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Bank, in immediately available funds with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Bank or the Company with
respect to any amount owing under Section 2.9.5 or 2.9.6 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 2.10.
Applicable Lending Installations. Each Bank may book the Eurodollar Loans at any Applicable Lending Installation selected by the Bank and may change the Applicable Lending Installation from time to time, provided that a Bank may not
change its Applicable Lending Installation to a new Applicable Lending Installation if, at the time of such change, the Company would incur additional costs pursuant to Sections 2.12 or 2.13. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to
any such Applicable Lending Installation and the Loans shall be deemed held by each Bank for the benefit of such Applicable Lending Installation. Each Bank may, by written or telex notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent, designate an
Applicable Lending Installation through which Eurodollar Loans are made and for whose account Eurodollar Loan payments are to be made. 

  
 18 









 2.11. Payment or Failure to Pay or Borrow on Certain Dates. If (i) any payment
or interest rate conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period, or (ii) a Eurodollar Loan is not made on the date specified in a Borrowing Notice or Rate Selection Notice for any reason other
than default by the Banks, the Company will indemnify each Bank for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Eurodollar
Loan, but in any case excluding loss of anticipated profit. 
 2.12. Taxes. 

2.12.1. Certification. Each Bank and the Administrative Agent shall submit to the Company on or prior to the date on which such
Bank or Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, two duly completed and signed copies of Form W-8BEN (relating to such Person and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all amounts of interest and original issue
discount to be received by such Person pursuant to this Agreement), Form W-8ECI (relating to all amounts of interest and original issue discount to be received by such Person pursuant to this Agreement) of the United States Internal Revenue
Service, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (or a Form W-9 of the United States Internal Revenue Service), or any other form, certificate or documentation prescribed by law or as reasonably requested by the Company or the
Administrative Agent as will permit payments required to be made in connection with the Loans and this Agreement to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. Thereafter and from time to time, each Bank and the Administrative Agent
shall, subject to Sections 2.12.2 and 2.12.3, submit to the Company such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or the other of such forms (or such successor, additional or replacement forms as shall be adopted from time to
time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) or of such a certificate, form or other documentation as required by, and at the time or times prescribed by, applicable law, or as the Company or the Administrative Agent may request from such
Person which may be required by United States Federal, State, local or foreign tax authorities or under then current applicable law or regulations in connection with United States Federal, State, local or foreign withholding taxes on, or backup
withholding in respect of, payments to be received by such Person hereunder or under any Notes and this Agreement. In addition, if a payment made to a Bank under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if
such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Company, at the time or times prescribed
by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by
the Company as may be necessary for the Company to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank has or has not complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.12.1, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

2.12.2. Change of Law. If any Bank or the Administrative Agent determines, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation
or treaty, or in any official publication or interpretation thereof, that it is unable (after taking any reasonable steps available to it) to submit to the Company any form or forms or other certification that such party would otherwise have been
obliged to submit pursuant to Section 2.12.1, or that such party is required to withdraw or 

  
 19 









 
cancel any such form or forms or other certification previously submitted, or if any Bank shall be unable to extend credit to the Company pursuant to Section 10.3, then such party
shall promptly notify the Company of such fact, whereupon the Company shall, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, be entitled to terminate such Bank’s Commitment. The Company will pay all principal, interest, fees, costs and
other amounts due under Section 2.11 to such Bank in connection with any prepayment hereunder. 
 2.12.3.
Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. If the Company or any paying agent is required by law or regulation to make any deduction, withholding or backup withholding on account of any Relevant Taxes hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or
assessed by the United States, the United Kingdom or any other taxing authority (or any subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from any payment to any Bank or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the amount payable in
respect of such payment will be increased to the amount which, after deduction from such increased amount of all Relevant Taxes required to be withheld or deducted therefrom, will yield the amount required under this Agreement to be payable with
respect thereto had no such deduction, withholding or backup withholding been required. 
 2.12.4. Company Indemnity.
Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 2.12.3, if any Bank or the Administrative Agent on its behalf is required by law to make any payment on account of a Relevant Tax that is not in effect or applicable on the date hereof on or
in relation to any sum received or receivable hereunder by such Bank or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, of any Relevant Tax liability in respect of any such payment, which payment is hereafter imposed, levied or assessed against such Bank or
the Administrative Agent on its behalf, the Company will, upon demand of the Administrative Agent or such Bank, promptly indemnify such Bank against such payment or liability, together with any interest, penalties and expenses payable or incurred in
connection therewith or for any delay in payment thereof. 
 2.12.5. Notice to Company. A Bank intending to make a claim
pursuant to Section 2.12.4 shall notify the Administrative Agent of the event by reason of which it is entitled to do so promptly after becoming aware of the circumstances giving rise to the claim, whereupon the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Company thereof. Failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or a Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12.5 shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s or the Administrative
Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to Section 2.12.4 for any such payment or liability incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that
such Bank or the Administrative Agent on its behalf notifies the Company of the event giving rise to such payment or liability pursuant to Section 2.12.4 and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided
further that, if the event giving rise to such payment or liability is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

2.12.6. Notice of Withholding. If at any time the Company is required by law or regulation to make any deduction, withholding or
backup withholding on account of any taxes hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by the United States, the United Kingdom or other taxing authority (or any subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from any sum payable
by it hereunder (or if thereafter there is any change in the rates at which or the manner in which such deductions or withholdings are calculated) the Company shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent. 

  
 20 









 2.12.7. Timely Payment. If the Company makes any payment hereunder in respect of
which it is required by law or regulation to make any deduction, withholding or backup withholding on account of any taxes hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by the United States, the United Kingdom or other taxing authority
(or any subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) it shall pay the full amount to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time allowed for such payment under applicable law and shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent within thirty days after it has made such payment to the applicable authority a receipt issued by such authority or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing the payment to such authority of
all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld from such payment. 
 2.12.8. Mitigation. If any Bank or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is, in its reasonable opinion, able to apply for or otherwise take advantage of any tax credit, tax deduction or other reduction (which reduction is permanent in nature) in tax or similar benefit by reason
of any withholding or deduction made by the Company in respect of a payment made by it hereunder which payment shall have been increased pursuant to Section 2.12.3, then such Person will use reasonable efforts to obtain such credit,
deduction or benefit and upon receipt thereof will pay to the Company such amount (if any) not exceeding the increased amount paid by the Company as equals the net after-tax value to such Person of such part of such credit, deduction or benefit as
it considers is allocable to such withholding or deduction having regard to all its dealings giving rise to similar credits, deductions or benefits in relation to the same tax period and to the cost of obtaining the same; provided that
nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of any such Person to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it deems fit and in particular no such Person shall be under any obligation to claim relief from its corporate profits or
similar tax liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding in priority to any other reliefs, claims, credits or deductions available to it. 
 2.12.9. Bank Indemnity. Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any taxes (but, in the case of any taxes for which the Company is required to indemnify or pay any
additional amount to such Bank pursuant to Section 2.12.3 or 2.12.4, only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do
so) attributable to such Bank that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such amounts were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant taxing authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.12.9 shall be paid within 30 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Bank a certificate stating the amount so paid or payable by the
Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. 
 2.12.10.
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If a Bank or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any taxes at to which it has been indemnified by the Company pursuant to this
Section 2.12 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.12), it shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made by the Company under 

  
 21 









 
this Section 2.12 with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any taxes) of such indemnified Bank or Administrative Agent and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). The Company, upon the request of such Bank or the Administrative Agent, shall repay to such Bank or the Administrative Agent the
amount paid to the Company pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event such Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such
governmental authority. This Section 2.12.10 shall not be construed to require any Bank or the Administrative Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to this taxes which it deems confidential) to the
Company or any other Person. 
 2.13. Increased Costs. 

2.13.1. Change of Law. If, after the date hereof, by reason of any adoption of or change in law, rule, regulation or treaty, or in
the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (including those regarding capital
adequacy): 
  

	 	(a)	a Bank incurs an increased cost as a result of its having entered into and/or performed its obligations under this Agreement, and/or its maintaining its Commitment
hereunder and/or making one or more Loans hereunder; 

  

	 	(b)	there is any increase in the cost to a Bank of funding or maintaining all or any of the Loans comprised in a class of loans formed by or including the Loans made or to
be made by it hereunder; 

  

	 	(c)	a Bank or the Administrative Agent becomes subject to any taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings, and any and all
liabilities with respect to the foregoing (not being a tax for which the Company is required to indemnify or pay any additional amount to such Bank pursuant to Section 2.12.3 or 2.12.4, nor a tax explicitly excluded from the
definition of Relevant Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitment or other obligations, in each case hereunder, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 


 

	 	(d)	the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by any Bank or any Person controlling any Bank is increased because of the existence of this
Agreement and Loans outstanding hereunder or any Bank’s obligation to make Loans hereunder, 

 then such Bank
shall comply with its obligations under Section 2.17 with a view to mitigating the Company’s obligations under this Section and the Company shall, within 15 days of receipt from such Person of the certificate described in
Section 2.13.2, pay to such Person such amounts sufficient to indemnify such Person against, respectively: 

  
 22 










	 	(w)	such cost; 

  

	 	(x)	the lesser of (i) such increased cost and (ii) such proportion of such increased cost as is in the good faith opinion of that Person attributable to its
funding or maintaining Loans hereunder; 

  

	 	(y)	such liability; or 

  

	 	(z)	any reduction in rate of return as a consequence of such increase in capital requirements. 

 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Agent and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder,
issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any
successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed a “change of law” for purposes of this Section 2.13,
Section 2.12.2, and each other relevant Section of this Agreement, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. 
 2.13.2. Notice. A Person intending to make a claim pursuant to Section 2.13.1 shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, promptly after becoming aware of the
circumstances giving rise to the claim, a certificate to that effect specifying the event by reason of which it is entitled to make such claim and setting out in reasonable detail the basis and computation of such claim. Failure or delay on the part
of any Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate such Person
pursuant to Section 2.13.1 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Person notifies the Company and the Administrative Agent of the event giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions pursuant to Section 2.13.1 and of such Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 2.14. Availability
of Interest Rate. If any Bank determines that (i) maintenance of the Eurodollar Loans at an Applicable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law,
(ii) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund a Eurodollar Loan are not available or (iii) that a Eurodollar Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan, then such Bank may suspend
the availability of the affected Rate Option provided that such suspension shall not affect any Loans outstanding under an affected Rate Option and provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, each Bank shall make Alternate Base Rate
Loans available to the Company in lieu of Eurodollar Loans whose availability has been suspended. 

  
 23 









 2.15. Bank Certificates; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible,
each Bank shall designate an alternate Applicable Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Company to such Bank under Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 or to avoid the unavailability
of a Rate Option under Section 2.14, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of a Bank as to the amount due under Sections 2.11, 2.12 or 2.13 and the basis for the determination
of such amount shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Company in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Bank funded the
Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type, maturity and amount corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to the Loan. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in
the certificate shall be payable within 15 days after receipt by the Company of the certificate. The obligations under Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 shall survive payment of the Loans and termination of this Agreement.

 2.16. Telephonic Notices. The Company hereby authorizes the Banks and the Administrative Agent to extend Loans and
effect rate selection choices based on telephonic Borrowing and Rate Selection Notices made by any Person or Persons to the Administrative Agent and which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Company. The
Company agrees to promptly confirm to the Administrative Agent any telephonic Borrowing Notice or Rate Selection Notice in writing signed by an Authorized Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. If the written confirmation differs in
any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent, the records of the Administrative Agent shall govern absent manifest error. 
 2.17. Mitigation of Additional Costs or Adverse Circumstances. If, in respect of any Bank, circumstances arise which could reasonably be expected to, including upon the giving of notice, result in
(i) an increase in the amount of any payment to be made to it or for its account pursuant to Section 2.12, or (ii) a claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 2.12 or 2.13, then such Bank shall, promptly upon
becoming aware of the same, notify the Administrative Agent and the Company thereof and, in consultation with the Administrative Agent and the Company, and, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to its own position, take such reasonable
steps as may be reasonably open to it to avoid the effects of such circumstances (including, without limitation, the transfer of its Applicable Lending Installation to another jurisdiction or the transfer of its rights and obligations hereunder to
another financial institution acceptable to the Company (in its sole and absolute discretion) and willing to participate in the Agreement or the restructure of its participation in the Agreement in a manner which will avoid the event in question and
on terms mutually acceptable to such Bank and the Company). If and so long as a Bank has been unable to take, or has not taken, steps acceptable to the Company to mitigate the effect of the circumstances in question, such Bank shall be obligated, at
the request of the Company, to transfer all its rights and obligations hereunder, subject to payment of all principal, interest, fees, funding losses under Section 2.11 and any other amounts due such Bank hereunder, to another financial
institution nominated by the Company and willing to participate in the Agreement in place of such Bank. 

  
 24 









 2.18. Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement: 
 2.18.1. Borrowings, Fees, Etc. Each Loan hereunder shall be made from the Banks, each payment of fees shall
be made for account of the Banks, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments shall, except as set forth in Sections 2.12, 2.17, 2.19 and 2.20, be applied to each of the Banks on a Pro Rata basis.
The making, conversion and continuation of Loans of any type shall be done on a Pro Rata basis among the Banks. 
 2.18.2.
Payment of Principal and Interest. Except as provided in Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.17 and 2.19, each payment and prepayment by the Company of principal of or interest on the Loans shall be made to
the Administrative Agent for account of the Banks holding Loans of such type Pro Rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof. 
 2.18.3. Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees
then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and
(ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 

2.19. Illegality. If at any time it is unlawful for a Bank to fund or allow to remain outstanding all or any of the Loans made or
to be made by it hereunder, then such Bank shall, promptly after becoming aware of the same, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a certificate to that effect. Thereafter such Bank shall not be obligated to make Loans hereunder and
the amount of its Commitment shall be reduced to zero and, if unlawful for such Loans to remain outstanding, all Loans made by such Bank shall be immediately repaid in full together with interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable
hereunder with respect thereto including funding losses under Section 2.11. 
 2.20. Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Lender: 

 

	 	(a)	Fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Sections 2.3; 


 

	 	(b)	The Commitment and Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Banks have taken or make take any action hereunder,
including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 8.2; provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other
modification requiring the consent of such Bank or each Bank affected thereby. 

 Any payment of principal,
interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.2 shall be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment 

  
 25 









 
of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Company may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan
in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of
any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fourth, to such Defaulting Lender or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and
(y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 9 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of each Bank that is not a Defaulting Lender on a Pro Rata basis prior to
being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Banks Pro Rata. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay
amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto. 
 If each of the Administrative Agent and the Company agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Bank shall
purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata share. 

3. PREPAYMENT. 

3.1. Generally. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Prepayment Notice not less than the Minimum Notice Period prior to
the Effective Date thereof, the Company may from time to time pay, without premium or penalty, all, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000, any part of the principal of, the Loans prior to the Maturity Date by paying, in addition to the
principal amount of such payment, all interest accrued on the payment to the date thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.11 and Section 7.2, Eurodollar Loans may be paid only on the last day of the applicable Interest
Period. Each such prepayment will be applied to the Loans of the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro Rata shares and to the installments thereof as directed by the Company, or, in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity.

 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. 
 The Company represents and warrants to the Banks and the Administrative Agent that: 
 4.1. Corporate Existence and Standing. Each of the Company and the Material Subsidiaries is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction
of incorporation and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which the failure to obtain the necessary authority could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the consolidated condition or operations
of the Company or the ability of the Company to perform the Obligations.

the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject
to the following conditions: 
  

	 	(i)	Minimum Amounts. 

  

	 	(A)	in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous
assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in Section 10.1.1(i)(B) in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be
assigned; and 


  
 40 










	 	(B)	in any case not described in Section 10.1.1(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal
outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is
specified in the assignment, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

  

	 	(ii)	Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; 

  

	 	(iii)	Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 10.1.1(i)(B) and, in addition:


  

	 	(A)	the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Bank, an Affiliate of the assigning Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to the assigning Bank; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to an
assignment if it has not objected thereto in writing within ten days after notice thereof to it as required by Section 13.1 and to ConAgra Foods, Inc., One ConAgra Drive, Omaha, NE 68012, attention: General Counsel (facsimile no.

Exhibit F or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto and approved by the Administrative Agent, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative
Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in form and substance
acceptable to the Administrative Agent. 


  
 41 










	 	(v)	Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be
effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as
appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans
previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent or any Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting
Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

 Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.1.2, from and after the effective date specified in each assignment, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment, be released from its obligations (other than pursuant to
Section 2.12) under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto (except in respect of its obligations
under Section 2.12) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 10.9 and shall continue to be obligated under Section 10.9.3, in each case with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Company (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Bank. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.1.3.


  
 42 









 10.1.2. Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Company (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at its office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company at any reasonable time. 
 10.1.3. Participations. Any Bank
may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or the Company or any of the Company’s controlled Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such
Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the
Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such
Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not without the consent of
the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 8.2 that affects such Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, each Bank shall be responsible for the indemnity under
Section 10.9.3 without regard to the existence of any participation. 
 A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.13 than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 2.12 as though it were a Bank (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.12.1 shall be delivered to the participating Bank). 

Each Bank that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Participant and the principal amounts of, and stated interest on, each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to the Company, the Administrative Agent or any other Person (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Commitments, Loans or other obligations) except to the extent that disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitments, Loans or other obligations are in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Bank may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant
to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

  
 43 









 10.1.4. Certain Pledges. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Bank
may at any time without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent and without restrictions as to amount or otherwise, pledge and assign as collateral all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, any Note or any Loan, including
to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Bank, provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder. 

10.1.5. General Restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no assignment or participation shall be made (A) to the
Company or any of the Company’s controlled Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in
this clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person, (ii) no Bank shall effect any assignment or participation that may require the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify the
Loans or Commitments of that Bank or other Obligations owed to that Bank under blue sky law of any state; and (iii) no Bank shall, as between Company and that Bank, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any granting of
participations in all or any part of the Loans or participations therein, or Commitments of that Bank or other obligations owed to such Bank. 
 10.2. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Company made in this Agreement or in any other document delivered by it pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and
delivery hereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Bank or on their behalf and notwithstanding that
the Administrative Agent or any Bank may have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or Potential Default at the time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 
 10.3. Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Bank shall be obligated to extend credit to the Company in an amount in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation. 

10.4. Taxes. Any stamp, court, documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar excise or property taxes payable or ruled
payable by Federal, State, local or foreign authority that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, the Loan Documents shall be paid by the Company,
together with interest and penalties, if any. 
 10.5. Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. The Loan Documents shall be construed
in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York state court sitting in New York County, New York in any

any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall
be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 

10.6. Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the
interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents. 
 10.7. Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the
entire agreement and understanding between the Company and the Banks and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the Company and the Banks relating to the subject matter hereof. 

10.8. Several Obligations. The respective obligations of the Banks hereunder are several and not joint, and no Bank shall be the
partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Bank to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Bank from any of its obligations
hereunder. 
 10.9. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of its obligations under this Agreement. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not
such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Company, its equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby

authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and the Company shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of
the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine
of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 

11.2. Rights as a Bank. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Bank as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires,
include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity
for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks. 

11.3. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 

 

	 	(a)	shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default or a Potential Default has occurred and is continuing;


  

	 	(b)	shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or
by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan
Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its good faith opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan
Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in
violation of any debtor relief law; and 

  

	 	(c)	shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 


  
 49 









 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as
provided in Sections 10.1 and 7.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, provided that any liability
of the Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall be governed by Section 10.9.2. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event or Default or Potential Default unless and until notice describing such Event or
Default or Potential Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Bank. 
 The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of
any condition set forth in Section 9 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 11.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper
Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any
condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts selected by it in good faith. 
 11.5. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or
more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative 

  
 50 









 
Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non appealable judgment that the
Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 
 11.6.
Resignation of Administrative Agent. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to
the Banks and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right with, absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank which has an office in the United States of America with a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) on behalf of the Banks with, absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. 

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof,
the Required Banks may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and with, absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the consent of
the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be
agreed by the Required Banks) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. 

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed)
Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.15) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal
Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its 

  
 51 









 
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 10.9 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 11.7. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Banks. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank or any of their
Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon
this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 11.8.
No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arranger, syndication agent or documentation agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Bank. 
 12. SETOFF;
SHARING. 
 12.1. Setoff. If the Company becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Event of Default occurs, the
Company agrees to recognize, honor and comply with each Bank’s right of setoff under any applicable law. 
 12.2.
Sharing. If any Bank shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Bank’s receiving payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Bank receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact,
and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Banks, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Banks ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 
  

	 	(i)	if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 


  
 52 










	 	(ii)	the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the
express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans
to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Company or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 

 Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Bank acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may
exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 

13. NOTICES. 

13.1. Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and
except as provided in Section 13.2 below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by
facsimile as follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	if to the Company or any other Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such
Person on its signature page hereto; and 

  

	 	(ii)	if to any other Bank, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its administrative questionnaire (including, as
appropriate, notices delivered solely to the Person designated by a Bank on its administrative questionnaire then in effect for the delivery of notices that may contain material non-public information relating to the Company).


 Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or
registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be
deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 13.2 below, shall be
effective as provided in such Section 13.2. 
 13.2. Electronic Communications. Notices and other
communications to the Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing
shall not apply to notices to any Bank pursuant to Section 2 if such 

  
 53 









 Bank has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by
electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Company may each, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise
prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function,
as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as
described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii), if such notice,
email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice, email or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. 

13.3. The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW)
DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE COMPANY MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY,
INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.
In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Company, any Bank or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any
kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Company’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Company Materials through the Internet. 

13.4. Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Company and the Administrative Agent may change its address, facsimile or telephone
number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each Bank may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Company and the
Administrative Agent. In addition, each Bank agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and
electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Bank. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at
all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance
procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Company Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side 
 Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Company or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.


  
 54 









 13.5. Reliance by Administrative Agent and Banks. The Administrative Agent and the
Banks shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic or electronic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Company even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or
were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Bank and the
Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Company. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic
communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 13.6. Public Lenders. The Company hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Arranger may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Banks materials and/or
information provided by or on behalf of the Company hereunder (collectively, “Company Materials”) by posting the Company Materials on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, Syndtrak or another similar electronic system (the
“Platform”) and (b) certain of the Banks (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Company or its Affiliates, or the respective
securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Company hereby agrees that (w) all Company Materials that are to be made available
to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Company Materials
“PUBLIC,” the Company shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Banks to treat such Company Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Company or its
securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Company Materials constitute confidential information, they shall be treated as set forth in
Section 10.13); (y) all Company Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the
Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Company Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall be under no obligation to mark any Company Materials “PUBLIC.” 

  
 55 









 14. COUNTERPARTS. 
 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such
counterpart. This Agreement shall be effective when the Administrative Agent, the Company and each Bank shall have signed a counterpart and notified 
 the Administrative Agent by telex, telecopy, telephone or electronic transmission (to the extent in compliance with Section 13.1) that it has taken such action. 

The remainder of this page is intentionally blank.

 EXHIBIT A 
 Note 
  

			
	$[            ]	  	December     , 2012

 ConAgra Foods, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), promises to pay to the order of
[NAME OF BANK] (“Bank”) on or before the Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement hereinafter referred to) for the account of its Applicable Lending Installation the principal sum of
[            ] and 00/100 Dollars ($[            ]) or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by the Bank to the
