This letter (the “Fee Letter”) is entered into in connection with the Guarantee Letter
(hosho-sho) (the “Guarantee”) to be submitted by MITSUI & CO., LTD. (“Mitsui”) in favor of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation New York Branch (the
“Beneficiary”) for the benefit of THORNE HOLDING CORP. (the “Company”), pursuant to which Mitsui guarantees certain obligations of the Company under the Uncommitted and Revolving Credit Line Agreement, to be entered into
by and between the Beneficiary and the Company, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to the limitations and other terms set forth in the Guarantee. 

In connection with, and as consideration for Mitsui to enter into, the Guarantee, the Company and Mitsui hereby agree as follows: 

 

	a)	 The Company agrees to pay Mitsui for its own account, an annual fee at the rate per annum of 2.00% of
$10,000,000 (the “Fee”), until the Guarantee is terminated. The Company shall pay the Fee and any other amounts accrued or otherwise payable pursuant to this Fee Letter (i) on an annual basis on each anniversary of the
Effective Date, as defined below; and (ii) upon the occurrence of any change of control in respect of the Company; provided that, upon the termination of the Guarantee, the Fee payable with respect to a partial year in which the Guarantee was
terminated shall be equal to (x) the Fee multiplied by (y)(i) the number of days elapsed in such year (beginning on the relevant anniversary of the Effective Date) up to such termination divided by (ii) 365. Payment shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Mitsui. 


  

	b)	 The Company agrees to reimburse Mitsui for any reasonably incurred fees or expenses related to or in connection
with any disputes arising between Mitsui and the Beneficiary out of or in connection with the Guarantee including, but not limited to, attorney fees and costs for litigation. 



 

	c)	 In the event that Mitsui is required to pay any amounts under the Guarantee, such amounts shall promptly be
reimbursed to Mitsui in cash. In case the Company is not able to wholly or partially reimburse such amounts to Mitsui, the parties may agree to deem the unreimbursed amount of Mitsui’s payment under the Guarantee to be made for the benefit of
the Company in consideration for debt or equity securities of the Company on terms reasonably satisfactory to Mitsui and the Company. 


  

	d)	 The Company agrees to provide Mitsui with the following documents; 



i. Monthly P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cashflow Statement within 21 days of the end of each month 

ii. Next 12 months cashflow estimate, which will be updated every quarter, by the end of last day of the month after the end of each quarter
(i.e. 2020/Q2-2021/Q1 estimate to come by April 30th, 2020) 












 iii. Monthly borrowing detail (amount, interest rate, term) within 10 days of the end of
each month 
  

	e)	 The Company agrees to fully pay back the Series D dividend ($3mil) plus accrued interest to Mitsui immediately
after the Uncommitted and Revolving Credit Line is executed. 


 The Company agrees that all of the fees and expenses set forth in this Fee
Letter shall be fully earned upon becoming due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 This Fee Letter, together with the Guarantee, embody the
entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the specific matters set forth herein and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. 

This Fee Letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably waives all
right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Fee Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby. 

This Fee Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one
agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Fee Letter by facsimile or electronic mail transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 

The Fee Letter shall become effective as of the time of execution of the Credit Agreement and which is subject of the guarantee under the Guarantee (the
“Effective Date”) and shall remain effective until the expiration or termination of the Guarantee, and provided that the Company shall remain liable following the termination hereof for accrued and unpaid Fees. 

This Fee Letter may not be amended or any provision hereof waived or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and Mitsui. 

This Fee Letter may not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of Mitsui.

BANK agrees promptly to notify the BORROWER after any such set off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. The rights of the BANK under this SECTION 8.10 are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set off) which the BANK may have.
