favor of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation New York Branch (the “Beneficiary”) for the benefit of THORNE HOLDING CORP. (the “Company”), pursuant to which Kirin guarantees certain obligations of the Company under
the Reimbursement 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 Kirin to enter into, the Guarantee, the Company and Kirin hereby agree as follows:

Guarantee is in effect, plus 3.00% of $2,450,000 (the “Fee”), until the Guarantee is terminated. The initial annual rate per annum shall be 6.08%. 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 Kirin. 



 

	b)	 The Company agrees to reimburse Kirin for any reasonably incurred fees or expenses related to Kirin’s
entry into the Guarantee and performance thereunder (other than the actual cost of performance under the terms of such Guarantee), specifically including, but not limited to the reasonable expenses of Kirin relating to, or in connection with, the
enforcement of, or litigation related to Kirin’s obligations under the Guarantee. 















	c)	 In the event that Kirin is required to pay any amounts under the Guarantee, such amounts shall be deemed to be
made for the benefit of the Company in consideration for debt or equity securities of the Company on terms reasonably satisfactory to Kirin and the Company. 



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. 
 This Fee Letter shall become effective as of the time of issuance of that certain Letter of Credit to be issued by the
Beneficiary pursuant to Reimbursement Agreement and which is the 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 Kirin. 
 This Fee Letter may not be assigned by the Company without the
prior written consent of Kirin.

 ARTICLE 2 

ISSUANCE OF LETTERS OF CREDIT; 

REIMBURSEMENT AND OTHER PAYMENTS 

Section 2.1 General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may from time to time request the Bank to
issue Letters of Credit for its own account in such form as is acceptable to the Bank in its reasonable determination. A Letter of Credit may state that it is issued for the account of any Subsidiary of the Company without prejudice to the agreement
herein between the Company and the Bank that the Company shall be the account party for all Letters of Credit and shall have the obligations with respect thereto provided by this Agreement. The Company and the Bank acknowledge and agree that in
no event shall the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement exceed $ 4,900,000. 
 Section 2.2
Procedure for Issuing Letters of Credit. In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall deliver to the Bank (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance) an application requesting the issuance of a
Letter of Credit, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Bank (each, an “LC Application”), setting forth the following information with respect to the requested Letter of
Credit: (i) the issuance date; (ii) the amount; (iii) the expiry date; (iv) the name and address of the applicant (which may be the Company or a Subsidiary); (v) the name and address of the beneficiary; (vi) the documents,
if any, to be presented by the beneficiary in case of any Demand; (vii) the full text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary in case of any Demand; and (viii) such other matters as shall be necessary to prepare the Letter of
Credit. If the Bank agrees to issue the Letter of Credit, the Bank shall deliver such Letter of Credit to its addressee with a copy to the Company and, if applicable, the Subsidiary, unless otherwise specified in the LC Application. The signing of
this Agreement shall not be construed to impose upon the Bank an obligation to issue, amend or renew any Letter of Credit. 

Section 2.3 Reimbursement. If the Bank shall make any payment or disbursement pursuant to or in respect of a Demand (each,
an “LC Disbursement”), the Company shall pay to the Bank, on demand, in same day funds, an amount equal to such LC Disbursement, provided that (a) if such Demand is in a currency other than Dollars, the Company shall, at the option of
the Bank, (i) pay the equivalent of such amount in Dollars at the Bank’s then-applicable selling rate for such other currency for transfers to the place where, and in the currency in which, such Demand is payable, or (ii) pay such
amount in such other currency in the place, form and manner directed by the Bank; and (b) if a time draft is drawn under any Letter of Credit, the Company shall make such payment without demand sufficiently in advance of the maturity of the
draft to enable the Bank to make timely payment of the amount so drawn under such Letter of Credit. The Company’s obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit issued [at the Company’s request] for the account of a Subsidiary shall
remain in effect until satisfied or such Letter of Credit expires undrawn, irrespective of any change in control of the Subsidiary. 

Section 2.4 Interest on Overdue Amounts. If the Company fails to reimburse the Bank for any LC Disbursement or if the Company
fails to pay any other amount owing hereunder in full on the date due, then the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed), for each day from and including the date
of such LC Disbursement or payment default, as applicable, to but excluding the date on which payment is actually made by the Company, at the Prime Rate plus 2.0%. 

  
 -4- 













 Section 2.5 Commission Fee. The Company shall pay to the Bank a commission fee
(the “Commission Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit, which shall be payable at such times and computed on such amounts and at such rates as the Company and the Bank may agree in one or more separate fee agreements or, in the
absence of such an agreement, as the Bank may, in its discretion, reasonably determine. The Commission Fee shall be fully earned when due and nonrefundable when paid, and the Company shall have no right to any refund of Commission Fees previously
paid by the Company, including any refund claimed because a Letter of Credit is cancelled prior to its expiration date. 
 Section 2.6
Payment Instructions. All payments by the Company to the Bank hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds, free of any reduction and without set-off or counterclaim. Payments in Dollars shall
be made at or prior to 2:00 p.m., New York time, by wire transfer to Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., New York (SWIFT: SMBCUS33), ABA Number: 0260-0967-4, Account Name: SMBC Loan Operations New York, Account
Number: 423001, Reference: Thorne Holding Corp., Attn: BCDAD JDAD Loan Services, or to such other account or accounts as the Bank may notify the Company pursuant to Section 7.2. The Company hereby authorizes the Bank to debit any account
maintained by the Company with the Bank to effect any payment under this Agreement. 
 Section 2.7 Additional Costs. If any
change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof shall either (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement,
including any capital adequacy costs, against letters of credit issued by the Bank or (ii) impose on the Bank any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this
Section 2.7 shall be to increase the cost to the Bank of issuing or maintaining such Letter of Credit in any amount deemed material by the Bank, which cost, in the Bank’s judgment, cannot reasonably be avoided by the Bank, then, upon
written notice from the Bank, the Company shall promptly pay to the Bank an amount equal to such cost, the Bank’s determination of which will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. All amounts contemplated in this Section 2.7 that
are not paid within 10 days following such notice will bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.4. 
 Section 2.8 Net
Payment. All amounts payable by the Company hereunder will be paid in full, free of all Taxes now or hereafter levied, collected, withheld, assessed or otherwise imposed, except in the case of the taxes imposed on the overall net income of the
Bank. If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Company agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due hereunder, after withholding or deduction or on account of
any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein. The Company shall promptly furnish to the Bank tax receipts or other evidence of the payment by the Company of any such Taxes that are due under applicable law and, if the Bank pays
any such Taxes, the Bank shall furnish to the Company copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Bank. If the Company is prohibited by law from making one or more payments under this Agreement free of Taxes in accordance herewith, or if
any taxing authority shall at any time assert that the Bank is required to pay any such Taxes with respect to payments made by the Company under this Agreement, 

  
 -5- 













 
then the Company shall pay such additional amount to the Bank as may be necessary in order that the actual amount received by Bank after all Taxes (and after payment of any additional Taxes due
as a consequence of the payment of such additional amount) shall equal the amount that would have been received by the Bank if such Taxes were not required. Whenever any such Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to
the Bank hereunder, the Company shall pay such Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority for the account of the Bank and, as promptly as possible thereafter, send to the Bank an official receipt showing payment thereof, together with such additional
documentary evidence as may be reasonably required from time to time by the Bank. If the Company fails to pay any such Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit any such official receipts or other required documentary
evidence, the Company agrees to indemnify the Bank for and to hold the Bank harmless from and against any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Bank as a result of such failure. 

Section 2.9 Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding pursuant
hereto is in support of an obligation of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary (or any Person who was a Subsidiary at the time the Letter of Credit was issued), the Company shall be obligated, on behalf of such Subsidiary, to reimburse Bank
hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business
derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

 Section 4.2 Actions by the Bank. The Company agrees that any action or omission
by the Bank or any of the Bank’s correspondents in connection with the Letters of Credit or presentation thereunder will be binding on the Company and will not result in any liability to the Bank or any of the Bank’s correspondents in the

Credit promptly following its receipt of such Demand, and shall notify the Company of such Demand and whether the Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder as promptly as possible; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving
