Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

**Note 1 - &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Principal Activity and Significant Accounting Policies**

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although South Dakota Soybean Processors, LLC (the "Company", "LLC", "we", "our", or "us") believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year due in part to the seasonal nature of some of the Company's businesses. The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 31, 2026.

*Principles of consolidation*

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries, High Plains Partners, LLC, HPP SD Holdings, LLC, and High Plains Processing, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

*Use of estimates*

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

*Receivables and Credit Policies*

Accounts receivable are considered past due when payments are not received on a timely basis in accordance with the Company's credit terms, which are generally fifteen to thirty days from invoice date. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off. Management determines the allowance for credit losses by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering customers' financial condition, credit history, current and future economic conditions, and unusual circumstances, if any. The valuation allowance was determined to be immaterial as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

*Revenue*

The Company accounts for all of its revenues from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Company principally generates revenue from merchandising and transporting manufactured agricultural products used as ingredients in food, feed, energy, and industrial products. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with a customer and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties (e.g. - taxes). The Company follows a policy of recognizing revenue at a single point in time when it satisfies its performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Control transfer typically occurs when goods are shipped from our facilities or at other predetermined control transfer points (for instance, destination terms). Shipping and handling costs related to contracts with customers for the sale of goods are accounted for as a fulfillment activity and are included in the cost of revenues. Accordingly, amounts billed to customers for such costs are included as a component of revenues.

**Note 8 - &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities**

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements as a means of managing exposure to changes in commodity prices and, occasionally, foreign exchange and interest rates. The Company's derivative instruments primarily consist of commodity futures, options and forward contracts, and interest rate swaps, caps and floors. Although these contracts may be effective economic hedges of specified risks, they are not designated as, nor accounted for, as hedging instruments. Futures and options contracts, along with margin deposit, are with a single counterparty and are subject to a right of offset. As a result, these items are netted on the balance sheet, regardless of their position. In contrast, forward contracts are with multiple counterparties and do not have a right of offset. Therefore, these contracts are reported at their gross amounts on the balance sheet. These contracts are recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at fair value as discussed in Note 9, Fair Value.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:

**Note 9 - &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fair Value**

ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,* defines fair value, establishes a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures that are required about fair value measurements. Specifically, this guidance establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. The three levels of hierarchy and examples are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on the New York Stock Exchange and commodity derivative contracts listed on the Chicago Board of Trade ("CBOT").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced with models using highly observable inputs, such as commodity prices using forward future prices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights.

The following tables set forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the condensed balance sheets and the respective levels to which fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The Company enters into various commodity derivative instruments, including futures, options, swaps and other agreements. The fair value of the Company's commodity derivatives is determined using unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments on the CBOT. The Company estimates the fair market value of their finished goods and raw

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

materials inventories using the market price quotations of similar forward futures contracts listed on the CBOT and adjusts for the local market adjustments derived from other grain terminals in our area.

Estimated fair values of inventories and provisionally priced contracts stated at market are based on exchange-quoted prices, adjusted for differences in local markets and quality, referred to as basis. Market valuations for the Company's inventories are adjusted for location and quality (basis) because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts that have standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade.

The basis adjustments are generally determined using inputs from competitor and broker quotations or market transactions and are considered observable. Basis adjustments are impacted by specific local supply and demand characteristics at each facility and the overall market. Factors such as substitute products, weather, fuel costs, contract terms, and futures prices also impact the movement of these basis adjustments.

The Company considers the carrying amount of significant classes of financial instruments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, to be reasonable estimates of fair value due to their length or maturity. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt approximates the carrying value. The interest rates on the long-term debt are similar to rates the Company would be able to obtain currently in the market.

The Company has patronage investments in other cooperatives and common and preferred stock holdings in privately held entities. There is no market for their patronage credits or the entity's common and preferred holdings, and it is impracticable to estimate the fair value of the Company's investments. These investments are carried on the balance sheet at the original cost plus the amount of patronage earnings allocated to the Company, less any cash distributions received.

**Note 10 - &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Commitments and Contingencies**

From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, the Company may be named as a defendant in legal proceedings related to various issues, including without limitation, workers' compensation claims, tort claims, or contractual disputes. The Company carries insurance that provides protection against general commercial liability claims, claims against our directors, officers and employees, business interruption, automobile liability, and workers' compensation. The Company is not currently involved in any material legal proceedings and is not aware of any potential claims.

**Note 11 - &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Subsequent Event**

Except to the events listed below, the Company evaluated all of its activities and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in its financial statements or disclosed in the notes to its financial statements.

On May 11, 2026, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Promissory Note (the "Restated Note") with our lender, CoBank, ACB, which amends and restates our existing Revolving Credit Promissory Note dated November 24, 2025. The principal available under the Company's seasonal loan increases from $30 million to $45 million. All other material items and conditions under the Credit Agreement dated March 17, 2025, and subsequent amendments to such agreement, remain the same following the Restated Note.

**Executive Overview and Summary**

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized a net loss of $4.3 million, compared with net income of $4.4 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was is primarily attributable to temporary regulatory delays affecting the renewable fuels market and non-cash, mark-to-market accounting adjustments.The primary driver of the quarterly loss was softened demand for soybean oil, which was mainly delayed implementation of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and the associated Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs). The lack of timely regulatory clarity temporarily reduced demand from the biofuel sector, compressing oil values and operational margins. In addition, we recorded non-cash, mark-to market losses as a result of rising board crush values. While these monthly adjustments negatively impacted reported earnings this quarter, they reflect favorable forward main opportunities. Notable, we view these as timing differences that are expected to be economically neutral over the life of the underlying positions. Our performance was additionally impacted by order subsidiary, High Plains Processing, Mitchell, South Dakota, which experienced losses, as it was impacted by similar market pressures including soft oil demand and unfavorable timing of margin recognition as well as startup inefficiencies.

We anticipate a strong recovery in financial performance for the remainder of 2026. The EPA's recent release of record-level RVOs is expected to drive substantial demand for soybean oil, specifically within the renewable diesel sector. Soybean meal demand is also expected to remain strong, supported by robust domestic and export markets. Finally, as current forward margin positions mature, we expect to capture margins previously deferred by mark-to-market accounting.

---

*Revenue* – Revenue increased by $107.6 million, or 91.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This significant growth was primarily driven by a 91.2% increase in soybean processing volumes, partially offset by a moderate decline in average selling prices for soybean products. The volume increase was directly attributable to the commencement of operations at our Mitchell facility, which began operations in the fourth quarter of 2025. The completion of this facility effectively doubled our total processing capacity, representing a material shift in operational scale. The increase in volume was slightly offset by a 2.9% decrease in average soybean meal prices compared to the first quarter of 2025. This pricing pressure resulted from expanded industry-wide crushing capacity across the U.S. that entered the market in 2024 and 2025.

*Gross Profit/Loss* – Gross profit decreased by $11.4 million, or 193.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by mark-to-market losses and initial operation costs associated with our Mitchell facility. The mark-to-market adjustments were attributed to unrealized, non-cash losses resulting from rising board crush values. These monthly accounting adjustments, reflect forward margin opportunities that require the deferral of profit recognition into future periods. Results were further impacted by losses at our Mitchell facility, where initial operations experienced ramp-up inefficiencies, lower utilization rates and higher pressures, all while being subject to broader market pressures including softened demand for oil.

*Operating Expenses* – Administrative expenses, including all selling, general, and administrative expenses, increased by $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher payroll, professional, and related costs associated with the start-up of the Mitchell facility.

*Interest Expense* – Interest expense increased by $4,995,000, or 434.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in interest expense was principally due to an increase in borrowings under our credit facilities. Additionally, approximately $0.0 million in interest costs related to the construction of our Mitchell facility were capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.1 million in the same period of 2025.

*Other Non-Operating Income* – Other non-operating income (expense), including patronage dividend income, increased $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily driven by a $1.0 million rise in patronage dividend income from prior investments in cooperatives during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

------

*Net Income/Loss* – During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, we generated a net loss of $4.3 million compared to a net income of $4.4 million for the same period in 2025. The $8.7 million decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in gross margins.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and borrowings from our two revolving lines of credit, which are discussed in the section titled "Indebtedness." As of March 31, 2026, we had working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, of approximately $46.8 million, compared to $36.9 million on March 31, 2025. Working capital decreased primarily due to expenditures related to the construction and development of our Mitchell facility, of which we have a controlling ownership interest through our subsidiaries.

| Net cash provided by financing activities | 95746523 | 67574347 |

**Cash Flows Used For Operations**

The $42.8 million increase in cash flows used for operating activities between periods was largely due to a $76.0 million change in current operating assets and liabilities, offset by a $43.5 million change in net loss recognized on derivative instruments.

**Cash Flows Used For Investing Activities**

The $45.8 million increase in cash flows used for investing activities between periods was due to a $45.9 million decrease in expenditures for purchases of various property and equipment used for the construction and development of our Mitchell facility, which was completed during the fourth quarter of 2025.

**Cash Flows Provided By Financing Activities**

The $28.2 million increase in cash flows provided by financing activities between periods was principally due to a $26.9 million increase in net proceeds from seasonal borrowings with our lender.

***Indebtedness***

We hold various credit facilities with CoBank, our primary lender, to meet the short and long-term needs of our operations. The first credit line is a revolving long-term loan. Under this loan, we may borrow funds, as needed, up to the credit line maximum, or $65.0 million, and then pay down the principal whenever excess cash is available. Repaid amounts may be borrowed up to the available credit line. The available credit line decreases by $3.25 million every six months until the credit line's maturity on March 20, 2030, at which time a balloon payment for the remaining balance is due. We pay a 0.40% annual commitment fee on any funds not borrowed. The principal balance outstanding on the revolving term loan was $55.3 million and $19.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, there were no additional funds available for borrowing under this loan.

The second credit line is a revolving working capital (seasonal) loan. The primary purpose of this loan is to finance our operating needs. We may borrow up to $30.0 million until the loan's maturity on December 1, 2026. We pay a 0.20% annual commitment fee on any funds not borrowed; however, we have the option to reduce the credit line during any given commitment period listed in the credit agreement to avoid the commitment fee. The principal balance outstanding on this note was $17.8 million and $0 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, an additional $12.2 million was available for borrowing under this loan.

The third line of credit is a delayed-draw term loan. Under this loan, our subsidiary may borrow funds, as needed, up to $254.0 million until March 31, 2026. Principal payments of $4.5 million are made quarterly beginning six months after the Mitchell facility's completion date. The quarterly principal payments will increase by $1.0 million on

------

the anniversary date and continue until the maturity date of December 31, 2029. Our subsidiary pays a 0.50% annual commitment fee on any funds not borrowed. The principal balance outstanding on this note was $254.0 million and $221.5 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, there were no additional funds available for borrowing under this loan.

The fourth credit line is a revolving long-term loan. Under this loan, our subsidiary may borrow funds, as needed, up to the credit line maximum of $40.0 million and then pay down the principal whenever excess cash is available. Repaid amounts may be borrowed up to the available credit line until the credit line's maturity on December 31, 2029, at which time a balloon payment for the remaining balance is due. Our subsidiary pays a 0.50% annual commitment fee on any funds not borrowed. The principal balance outstanding on this revolving term loan was $0 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, an additional $40.0 million was available for borrowing under this loan.

The last credit line is a revolving working capital (seasonal) loan. The primary purpose of this loan is to finance the operating needs of our Mitchell facility. Beginning July 1, 2025, our subsidiary may borrow up to $85.0 million until the loan's maturity on September 1, 2026. A 0.20% annual commitment fee is charged on any funds not borrowed; however, we may reduce the credit line during any given commitment period listed in the credit agreement to avoid the commitment fee. The principal balance outstanding on this credit line was $43.9 million and $27,372,787 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, an additional $41.1 million was available for borrowing under this loan.

The revolving, seasonal, and delayed-draw term loans with CoBank are set up with a variable rate option. The variable rate is set daily by CoBank. We also have a fixed-rate option on all five loans, allowing us to lock in rates for any period between one day and the entire commitment period. The annual interest rate on the loans was between 5.88% and 6.78% as of March 31, 2026.

In 2025, the State of South Dakota Department of Transportation agreed to loan the Davison Regional Railroad Authority $18.3 million for purposes of making improvements to the railway infrastructure at our Mitchell facility. In consideration of this secured loan, we agreed to provide a guarantee to the State of South Dakota Department of Transportation for the full amount of the loan, plus interest. This guarantee was converted into a direct obligation of ours in May 2025, when we received the loan proceeds and assumed responsibility for paying the annual principal and interest payments. The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 2% per annum. Beginning in October 2026, we will make annual principal and interest payments of $1.43 million. These payments will continue through maturity on October 1, 2032, at which time a final balloon payment will be due for the remaining unpaid principal and any accrued interest.

**OFF BALANCE SHEET FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS**

We do not utilize variable interest entities or other off-balance sheet financial arrangements.

**RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS**

See Note 1 of our Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1, for a discussion on the impact, if any, of the recently pronounced accounting standards.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES**

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Item 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

***Commodities Risk & Risk Management.*** To reduce the price change risks associated with holding fixed-price commodity positions, we generally take opposite and offsetting positions by entering into commodity futures contracts (either a straight or options futures contract) on a regulated commodity futures exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade. While hedging activities reduce the risk of loss from changing market prices, such activities also limit the gain potential which otherwise could result from these significant fluctuations in market prices. Our policy is generally to maintain a hedged position within limits, but we can be long or short at any time. Our profitability is primarily derived from margins on soybeans processed, not from hedging transactions. Our management does not anticipate that hedging activities will have a significant impact on future operating results or liquidity. Hedging arrangements do not protect against the nonperformance of a cash contract.

At any one time, our inventory and purchase contracts for delivery to our facility may be substantial. We have risk management policies and procedures that include net position limits. They are defined by commodity and include both trader and management limits. This policy and procedure trigger a review by management when any trader is outside of position limits. The position limits are reviewed at least annually with the board of managers. We monitor current market conditions and may expand or reduce the limits in response to changes in those conditions.

An adverse change in market prices would not materially affect our profitability since we generally take opposite and offsetting positions by entering into commodity futures and forward contracts as economic hedges of price risk.

***Foreign Currency Risk.*** We conduct essentially all of our business in U.S. dollars and have minimal direct risk regarding foreign currency fluctuations. Foreign currency fluctuations do, however, impact the ability of foreign buyers to purchase U.S. agricultural products and the competitiveness of and demand for U.S. agricultural products compared to the same products offered by foreign suppliers.

An adverse change in market prices would not materially affect our profitability since we generally take opposite and offsetting positions by entering into commodity futures and forward contracts as economic hedges of price risk.

------

***Interest Rate Risk.*** We manage exposure to interest rate changes by using variable-rate loan agreements with fixed-rate options. Long-term loan agreements can utilize the fixed option through maturity; however, the revolving ability to pay down and borrow back would be eliminated once the funds were fixed.

As of March 31, 2026, we had $18.3 million in fixed-rate debt outstanding and $464.3 million of variable-rate lines of credit. Interest rate changes impact the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future earnings and cash flows. Assuming other variables remain constant, a 1.0% increase in interest rates on our variable-rate debt could have an estimated impact on profitability of approximately $4.6 million per year.

**Item 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Controls and Procedures.**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.*** Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

***Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.*** There were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

**PART II – OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Legal Proceedings.**

From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we may be named as a defendant in legal proceedings related to various issues, including without limitation, workers' compensation claims, tort claims, or contractual disputes. We carry insurance that provides protection against general commercial liability claims, claims against our directors, officer and employees, business interruption, automobile liability, and workers' compensation. We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings and are not aware of any potential claims.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A (Part I) of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Item 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.**

None.

**Item 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Defaults Upon Senior Securities.**

None.

**Item 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mine Safety Disclosures.**

None.

**Item 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other Information.**

*Insider Adoption or Termination of Trading Arrangements*

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, none of our managers or officers adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or a "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as those terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

Any draw under any letter of credit issued hereunder will be deemed a loan under the Commitment and will be repaid in accordance with this Promissory Note. Each letter of credit must be in form and content acceptable to Lender and must expire no later than the maturity date of the Commitment, unless the letter of credit automatically renews on terms satisfactory to Lender.

**SECTION 10. OVERADVANCES.** Lender shall not be obligated to make advances in excess of the Commitment ("Overadvances"), but may elect to do so in its sole discretion. Each such Overadvance shall be secured hereunder and under Section 2.3 of the Credit Agreement. If Lender approves an Overadvance, the Borrower shall reimburse Lender immediately and without notice or demand for (1) the full amount of each overadvance; (2) all overadvance fees and charges that Lender may impose from time to time; (3) interest on the amount of each overadvance at the rate that applies to the loan(s) for the day such overadvance was created and for each following day until it has been repaid, and (4) all losses Lender incurs in collecting the overadvance and any fees, charges, expenses or interest relating to it. In addition to all other rights and remedies available to Lender, Lender may (and the Borrower specifically gives Lender the authority to): (1) set off the unpaid balance of any overadvance against any debt or other amount that Lender owes to the Borrower; (2) liquidate any investments or other assets in any account the Borrower maintains with Lender or in connection with the loan(s); and (3) enforce its interests in any available collateral it holds to secure the Borrower's obligations hereunder and under the Credit Agreement. If Lender elects to make an advance in excess of the Commitment, doing so does not obligate Lender to make or permit future Overadvances under the Commitment.

**SECTION 11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BENCHMARK AND TENOR REPLACEMENT AND MODIFICATION.** Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Promissory Note or in any other Loan Document,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(A)**if at any time Lender determines that (1) any interest rate offered hereunder (each such interest rate, a "Benchmark") or any tenor of such Benchmark has been, or is likely to be, discontinued; (2) any Benchmark or any tenor of any Benchmark is not or is likely to not be representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark or tenor is intended to measure; or (3) any Benchmark or any tenor of any Benchmark does not, or is likely not to, adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of making or maintaining loans hereunder, or (4) any Benchmark or any tenor of any Benchmark is, or is likely to be, unlawful, Lender may amend this Promissory Note and any other Loan Document to replace such Benchmark or tenor with a Benchmark Replacement or to remove such tenor. The selection of a Benchmark Replacement by Lender may be for one, some or all tenors of the then-current Benchmark. "Benchmark Replacement" means, for any Benchmark or tenor, a replacement benchmark rate, which may include a spread adjustment, that has been selected by Lender in its sole discretion, giving due consideration to (a) any recommendation by a relevant governmental body of a replacement benchmark rate, the mechanism for determining such a rate or a spread adjustment, or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate or a spread

Any draw under any letter of credit issued hereunder will be deemed a loan under the Commitment and will be repaid in accordance with this Promissory Note. Each letter of credit must be in form and content acceptable to Lender and must expire no later than the maturity date of the Commitment, unless the letter of credit automatically renews on terms satisfactory to Lender.

**SECTION 10. OVERADVANCES.** Lender shall not be obligated to make advances in excess of the Commitment ("Overadvances"), but may elect to do so in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(A)**if at any time Lender determines that (1) any interest rate offered hereunder (each such interest rate, a "Benchmark") or any tenor of such Benchmark has been, or is likely to be, discontinued; (2) any Benchmark or any tenor of any Benchmark is not or is likely to not be representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark or tenor is intended to measure; or (3) any Benchmark or any tenor of any Benchmark does not, or is likely not to, adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of making or maintaining loans hereunder, or (4) any Benchmark or any tenor of any Benchmark is, or is likely to be, unlawful, Lender may amend this Promissory Note and any other Loan Document to replace such Benchmark or tenor with a Benchmark Replacement or to remove such tenor.
