 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. Certain Defined Terms. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto
in the Indenture. 
 SECTION 2. Amendments to Indenture. The Indenture is hereby amended as follows: 

(a) The following definitions of “Liquidity Test” and “Lockbox” are added to Section 1.1 as
alphabetically appropriate: 
 “Liquidity Test” means, at any date of determination, a test that shall be deemed
satisfied if the sum of (A) the aggregate amount (without duplication) available to be borrowed by the Issuer under all outstanding Series at such time given the then-current Borrowing Base and (B) the aggregate amount available to be
drawn by CHS Inc. under its then-current debt facilities exceeds $50 million. 
 “Lockbox” means, collectively,
(i) the lockbox related to the Lockbox Account at M&I and (ii) the Cofina Lockbox established in compliance with Section 5.4(a). 







 (b) The definition of “Lockbox Account” is corrected to read as
follows: 
 “Lockbox Account” initially, account number 0034677852 at M&I. 

(c) Section 5.4(a) of the Indenture is amended in its entirety to read as follows: 

(a) Collections in General. Until this Indenture is terminated pursuant to Section 13.1, the Issuer shall or shall cause the
Servicer under the Servicing Agreement to cause all Collections due and to become due, as the case may be, and all other amounts required by this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to be paid to the Lockbox Account or the Collection
Account; provided, however, that within 90 days of February __, 2012 the Issuer (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall establish a lockbox with the United States Postal Service in the name of Cofina Funding, LLC (the “Cofina
Lockbox”) and direct all Obligors who will not remit payments by wire transfer to the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account to send their payments to such Cofina Lockbox. Once the Cofina Lockbox is established, (i) in each Monthly
Servicer Report delivered thereafter, the Servicer shall be deemed to have represented that the level of payments received in the Cofina Lockbox (including, to the extent payments are sent directly to the Servicer’s offices, the amount of such
payments) during the related calendar month did not exceed $15 million (except for those months for which the Servicer reports the actual level of payments received in the Lockbox (and received directly by the Servicer)) and that all such payments
received were deposited into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of identification (but in no event later than the second Business Day after receipt) as required by the Base Indenture and the Servicing Agreement, (ii) on a
quarterly basis, the Servicer shall report the level of payments received in the Cofina Lockbox (and received directly by the Servicer) (which reporting will be included in the applicable Monthly Servicer Report as a line item) and (iii) the
scope of the annual audit of the Servicer shall include confirmation of such quarterly reporting. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that following the occurrence of any Servicer Default, Early Amortization Event or Event of Default, the Trustee
shall have sole dominion and control over the Cofina Lockbox. The Issuer agrees to promptly execute any documentation or power of attorney required to effectuate such change in control to the Trustee. Any Collections received directly by the Issuer
or the Servicer (or in the Cofina Lockbox) shall be deposited by the Issuer or the Servicer, as applicable, into the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of identification of such Collections, but in no event
later than the second Business Day following such date of receipt. All monies, instruments, cash and other proceeds received by the Servicer in respect of the Trust Estate pursuant to this Indenture shall be deposited in the Collection Account as
specified herein and shall be applied as provided in this Article 5 and in Article 6.

of Default, the Trustee will make the following allocations with respect to amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account in the following order of priority: 
  

	 	(1)	To set aside in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Accrued Facility Costs for further transfer on the next Settlement Date; 


 

	 	(2)	To the Spread Maintenance Account, until the amount (after giving effect to all distributions to be made on such Settlement Date) equals the Required Spread Maintenance
Reserve Amount; 

  

	 	(3)	To the Settlement Account for each Series of Warehouse Notes specified by the Servicer in reduction of the principal amount outstanding thereunder in such amounts as
specified by the Servicer; 

  

	 	(4)	To the applicable Seller, an amount equal to the unpaid purchase price payable to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement;

shall remain in full force and effect. After this Amendment becomes effective, all references in the Indenture to “this Base Indenture”, “this Indenture”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of similar effect
referring to the Indenture shall be deemed to be references to the Indenture as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment shall not be deemed to expressly or impliedly waive, amend or supplement any provision of the Agreement other than as set forth
herein. 
 SECTION 4. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective upon receipt by the Noteholder of
