NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and conditions contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that all capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement, and further agree as follows:
1.Amendments to Credit Agreement.
(a)Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement, Defined Terms, is hereby modified and amended by deleting the definitions of “Defaulting Lender” and “Rabobank” in their entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following, respectively:
““Defaulting Lender” means, subject to Section 2.21(c), any Lender that (a) has failed to (i) fund all or any portion of its Loans within two Business Days of the date such Loans were required to be funded hereunder unless such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative in writing that such failure is the result of such Lender’s determination that one or more conditions precedent to funding (each of which conditions precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such 


 1







writing) has not been satisfied, or (ii) pay to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender or any other Lender any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder (including in respect of its participation in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans) within two Business Days of the date when due, (b) has notified the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender in writing that it does not intend to comply with its funding obligations hereunder, or has made a public statement to that effect (unless such writing or public statement relates to such Lender’s obligation to fund a Loan hereunder and states that such position is based on such Lender’s determination that a condition precedent to funding (which condition precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing or public statement) cannot be satisfied), (c) has failed, within three Business Days after written request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative, to confirm in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that it will comply with its prospective funding obligations hereunder (provided that such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this clause (c) upon receipt of such written confirmation by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative), or (d) has, or has a direct or indirect parent company that has, (i) become the subject of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, (ii) had appointed for it a receiver, custodian, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with reorganization or liquidation of its business or assets, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other state or federal regulatory authority acting in such a capacity, or (iii) become the subject of a Bail-In Action; provided that a Lender shall not be a Defaulting Lender solely by virtue of (x) the ownership or acquisition of any equity interest in that Lender or any direct or indirect parent company thereof by a Governmental Authority or (y) an Undisclosed Administration of such Lender, in any such case so long as such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Lender with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Lender (or such Governmental Authority) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made with such Lender.  Any determination by the Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender under any one or more of clauses (a) through (d) above shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender (subject to Section 2.21(c)) upon delivery of written notice of such determination to the Borrower Representative, each Issuing Bank, each Swingline Lender and each Lender.
“Rabobank” means Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., New York Branch (formerly known as Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., “Rabobank Nederland”, New York Branch), in its individual capacity, and its successors.
(b)Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement, Defined Terms, is hereby further modified and amended by adding the following definitions thereto in proper alphabetical order:

“2016 Second Fiscal Quarter Average Daily Net Income” means the Net Income of the Company and the Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Quarter ending on June 26, 2016 (as reported in the Company’s unaudited financial statements for such Fiscal Quarter) divided by the number of calendar days in such Fiscal Quarter.

“EEA Financial Institution” means (a) any credit institution or investment firm established in any EEA Member Country which is subject to the supervision of an EEA Resolution Authority, (b) any entity established in an EEA Member Country which is a parent of an institution described in clause (a) of this definition, or (c) any financial institution established in an EEA Member Country which is a subsidiary of an institution described in clauses (a) or (b) of this definition and is subject to consolidated supervision with its parent.

“(iv)  Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposures of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitments.  Subject to Section 11.09, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.”
(d)Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement, Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth, is hereby modified and amended by deleting such section in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

“SECTION 11.09. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)  a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)  a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)  the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.”
2.No Other Amendments.  Except as expressly set forth above, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as an amendment, modification or waiver of any right, power or remedy of Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Except for the amendment set forth above, the text of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and the Loan Parties hereby ratify and confirm their obligations thereunder. This Amendment shall not constitute a modification of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or a course of dealing with Administrative Agent or the Lenders at variance with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents such as to require further notice by Administrative Agent or any Lender to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future, except as expressly set forth herein. The Loan Parties acknowledge and expressly agree that Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve the right to, and do in fact, require strict compliance with all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (subject to any qualifications set forth therein), as amended herein.
3.Representations and Warranties.  In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Amendment by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each  Loan Party  hereby represents and warrants in favor of Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:


 5







(a)The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment (i) are all within such Loan Party’s organizational powers, (ii) have been duly authorized, (iii) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (iv) will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to any Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries, (v) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture or other agreement or instrument binding upon any Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right under any such indenture, agreement or instrument (other than a Loan Document) to require any payment to be made by any Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries, and (vii) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries, except Liens created or permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, except to the extent that any such failure to make or obtain, or any such violation, default or payment, in each case referred to in clauses (iii) through (v), individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;
(b)This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
(c)The representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, except that such representations and warranties (i) that relate solely to an earlier date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (ii) shall be true and correct in all respects to the extent they are qualified by a materiality standard; and
(d)Immediately after giving effect hereto, no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default or would constitute an Event of Default but for the requirement that notice be given or time elapse or both.
4.Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall become effective as of the date set forth above upon (a) the public announcement of the payment of the 2016 Dividend by the Board of Directors of the Company to its stockholders and (b) Administrative Agent’s receipt of each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent (the “Amendment Effective Date”):
(a)this Amendment duly executed by the applicable Loan Parties, Administrative Agent, and the Required Lenders; and 
(b)all other certificates, reports, statements, instruments or other documents as Administrative Agent may have reasonably requested prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment. 
5.Costs and Expenses.  The Borrowers agree to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment and any other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for Administrative Agent with respect thereto).
6.Affirmation of Guaranty/Loan Documents.  Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that as of the date hereof, the security interests and liens granted to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents are in full force and effect and are enforceable in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, and will continue to secure the Obligations. Additionally, by executing this Amendment, each U.S. Loan Guarantor and each Bermuda Loan Guarantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that all of its respective obligations and liability under the U.S. Guaranty and Bermuda Guaranty (as applicable) and all other Loan Documents to which such U.S. Loan Guarantor or Bermuda Loan Guarantor is a party remain in full force and effect, and that the execution and delivery of 


 6







this Amendment and any and all documents executed in connection therewith shall not alter, amend, reduce or modify its obligations and liability under the U.S. Guaranty and Bermuda Guaranty and all other Loan Documents.
7.Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of a signature page hereto by facsimile transmission or by other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
8.Reference to and Effect on the Loan Documents.  Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, on and after the date hereof, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement,” “thereunder,” thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
9.Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with, and this Amendment and all matters arising out of or relating in any way whatsoever to this Amendment (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York, other than those conflict of law provisions that would defer to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. This governing law election has been made by the parties in reliance (at least in part) on Section 5-1401 of the General Obligation Law of the State of New York, as amended (as and to the extent applicable), and other applicable law.
10.Final Agreement.  This Amendment represents the final agreement between the Loan Parties, Administrative Agent and the Lenders as to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
11.Loan Document.  This Amendment shall be deemed to be a Loan Document for all purposes under the Credit Agreement.
12.No Novation.  This Amendment is not intended by the parties to be, and shall not be construed to be, a novation of the Credit Agreement or an accord and satisfaction in regard thereto.
