**UNITED NATURAL FOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)**

**NOTE 1—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

*Nature of Business*

United Natural Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "UNFI") is a leading distributor of natural, organic, specialty, produce and conventional grocery and non-food products, and provider of support services to retailers. The Company sells its products primarily throughout the United States and Canada.

*Fiscal Year*

The Company's fiscal years end on the Saturday closest to July 31 and contain either 52 or 53 weeks. References to the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 relate to the 13-week fiscal quarters ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively. References to fiscal 2026 and 2025 year-to-date relate to the 39-week fiscal periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025, respectively.

*Basis of Presentation*

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial information, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally required in complete financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. In the Company's opinion, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 2, 2025 (the "Annual Report"). There were no material changes in significant accounting policies from those described in the Annual Report.

*Use of Estimates*

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

*Reclassifications*

Within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements certain immaterial amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on reported net income (loss), net cash flows, or total assets and liabilities.

*Cybersecurity Incident*

As previously disclosed, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company became aware of unauthorized activity on certain information technology systems. The Company promptly activated its incident response plan and implemented containment measures, including proactively taking certain systems offline (the "Cybersecurity Incident").

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7a4f88fb53894c33a7bcda00ada1d5b5_7)</u>

The Company recognized $1 million of incremental costs and charges related to the Cybersecurity Incident in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, which is included in Gross profit in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognized $22 million of incremental costs and charges related to the Cybersecurity Incident in fiscal 2026 year-to-date, of which $20 million is included in Gross profit and $2 million is included in Operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company maintains insurance coverage to limit its exposure to losses such as those related to the Cybersecurity Incident. The Company has submitted, and intends to continue to submit, claims to its insurers for reimbursement of costs, expenses, and losses stemming from the Cybersecurity Incident and expects that the full claim and settlement process will extend throughout fiscal 2026. The Company received insurance proceeds of $20 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and $40 million in fiscal 2026 year-to-date, related to the Cybersecurity Incident the Company experienced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which were recognized as a reduction to Operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The timing of recognizing insurance recoveries may differ from the timing of recognizing the associated expenses.

*Cash and Cash Equivalents*

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company's banking arrangements allow it to fund outstanding checks when presented to the financial institution for payment. The Company funds all intraday bank balance overdrafts during the same business day. Checks outstanding in excess of bank balances create book overdrafts, which are recorded in Accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as an operating activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of May 2, 2026 and August 2, 2025, the Company had net book overdrafts of $216 million and $267 million, respectively.

*Inventories, Net*

Substantially all of the Company's inventories consist of finished goods. To value discrete inventory items at lower of cost or net realizable value before application of any last-in, first-out ("LIFO") reserve, the Company utilizes the weighted average cost method, perpetual cost method, the retail inventory method and the replacement cost method. Allowances for vendor funds and cash discounts received from suppliers are recorded as a reduction to Inventories, net and subsequently within Cost of sales upon the sale of the related products. Inventory quantities are evaluated throughout each fiscal year based on physical counts in the Company's distribution centers and stores. Allowances for inventory shortages are recorded based on the results of these counts. The LIFO reserve was $367 million and $349 million as of May 2, 2026 and August 2, 2025, respectively, which is recorded within Inventories, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**NOTE 2—RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS**

In addition, the amendments require disclosures of disaggregated pretax income and income tax expense and remove the requirement to disclose certain items that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. The Company is required to adopt the amendments in this update in fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis but can also be applied retrospectively. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of adopting the amendments in this update on its consolidated financial statements. Other than the new annual disclosure requirements, the ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure on an annual and interim basis, in the notes to the financial statements, of disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. The Company is required to adopt the amendments in this update in fiscal 2028, and the interim disclosure requirements will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis but can also be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of the amendments in this update and evaluating their impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software*.

The Company is required to adopt the amendments in this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update can be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**NOTE 3—REVENUE RECOGNITION**

The Company serves customers in the United States and Canada, as well as customers located in other countries. However, all of the Company's revenue is earned in the United States and Canada, and international distribution occurs through freight-forwarders. The Company does not have any performance obligations on international shipments subsequent to delivery to the domestic port.

The Company disaggregates revenue by business division based on product and service offerings and determined that disaggregating revenue at the segment level achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Refer to Note 14—Business Segments for Net sales by reportable segment.

*Accounts and Notes Receivable Balances*

**NOTE 7—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**

*Recurring Fair Value Measurements*

The following tables provide the fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets Location** | **Fair Value at May 2, 2026** | **Fair Value at May 2, 2026** | **Fair Value at May 2, 2026** |

| Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |
| Interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments | Other long-term liabilities | $— | $3 | $— |

---

*Interest Rate Swap Contracts*

The fair values of interest rate swap contracts are measured using Level 2 inputs. The interest rate swap contracts are valued using an income approach interest rate swap valuation model incorporating observable market inputs including interest rates, Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") swap rates and credit default swap rates. As of May 2, 2026, a 100-basis point increase in forward SOFR interest rates would increase the fair value of the interest rate swaps by approximately $7 million; a 100-basis point decrease in forward SOFR interest rates would decrease the fair value of the interest rate swaps by approximately $7 million. Refer to Note 8—Derivatives for further information on interest rate swap contracts.

*Fair Value Estimates*

For certain of the Company's financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued vacation, compensation and benefits, and other current assets and liabilities the fair values approximate carrying amounts due to their short maturities. The fair value of notes receivable is estimated by using a discounted cash flow approach prior to consideration for uncollectible amounts and is calculated by applying a market rate for similar instruments using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of debt is estimated based on market quotes, where available, or market values for similar instruments, using Level 2 and 3 inputs. In the table below, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt is net of original issue discounts and debt issuance costs.

**NOTE 8—DERIVATIVES**

*Management of Interest Rate Risk*

The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts from time to time to mitigate its exposure to changes in market interest rates as part of its overall strategy to manage its debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired position of notional debt amounts subject to fixed and floating interest rates. Interest rate swap contracts are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The Company's interest rate swap contracts are designated as cash flow hedges as of May 2, 2026. Interest rate swap contracts are reflected at their fair values in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 7—Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments for further information on the fair value of interest rate swap contracts.

Details of active swap contracts as of May 2, 2026, which are all pay fixed and receive floating, are as follows:

The Company performs an initial quantitative assessment of hedge effectiveness using the "Hypothetical Derivative Method" in the period in which the hedging transaction is entered. Under this method, the Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transactions. In subsequent reporting periods, the Company performs a qualitative analysis for quarterly prospective and retrospective assessments of hedge effectiveness. The Company also monitors the risk of counterparty default on an ongoing basis and noted that the counterparties are reputable financial institutions. The entire change in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in Other comprehensive income (loss) (outside of earnings) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and subsequently reclassified to earnings in Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when the hedged transactions affect earnings.

The location and amount of gains or losses recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for interest rate swap contracts for each of the periods, presented on a pre-tax basis, are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Face value before debt issuance costs of $4 million and $4 million, respectively, and an original issue discount on debt of $6 million and $7 million, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Face value before debt issuance costs of $9 million and $5 million, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Face value before debt issuance costs of $3 million and $4 million, respectively.

*Term Loan Facility*

The term loan agreement dated as of October 22, 2018 (as amended, the "Term Loan Agreement") provides for a senior secured first lien term loan (the "Term Loan Facility") in an initial principal amount of $500 million, which is scheduled to mature on May 1, 2031, with a springing maturity of 91 days prior to the maturity of the Senior Notes (defined below), in the event that at least $100 million in principal amount outstanding of such Senior Notes remains outstanding on such date.

The obligations under the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by most of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions and limitations. The Term Loan Facility is secured by (i) a first-priority lien on substantially all assets other than the ABL Assets (defined below) and (ii) a second-priority lien on substantially all of the ABL Assets, in each case, subject to customary exceptions and limitations, including an exception for owned real property (other than distribution centers) with net book values of less than or equal to $10 million. As of May 2, 2026 and August 2, 2025, there was $609 million and $642 million, respectively, of owned real property pledged as collateral that was included in Property and equipment, net and Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of May 2, 2026, the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at rates that, at the Company's option, can be either: (i) a base rate plus a margin of 3.75% or (ii) a SOFR rate plus a margin of 4.75%, provided that the SOFR rate shall never be less than 0.0%.

On December 8, 2025, the Company made a voluntary prepayment of $9 million on the Term Loan Facility funded with proceeds from the sale of the Bismarck, North Dakota distribution center. In connection with this prepayment, the Company incurred an insignificant loss on debt extinguishment which was recorded within Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

*ABL Credit Facility*

On April 1, 2026, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan agreement (the "ABL Loan Agreement"), by and among the Company, SUPERVALU INC. ("Supervalu"), UNFI Wholesale, Inc., and UNFI Distribution Company, LLC (collectively, the "U.S. Borrowers") and UNFI Canada, Inc. (the "Canadian Borrower" and, together with the U.S. Borrowers, the "Borrowers"), the financial institutions that are parties thereto as lenders (collectively, the "ABL Lenders"), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as administrative agent for the ABL Lenders, and the other parties thereto, which provides for a secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Facility") with an aggregate principal amount available of up to $2,530 million, including Revolver Loans (as defined in the ABL Loan Agreement) of up to $2,400 million and a First In, Last Out ("FILO") tranche of incremental ABL loans of $130 million (the "ABL FILO Loan"). The ABL Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on April 1, 2031. The ABL Credit Facility amended and restated the Company's existing $2,730 million ABL credit facility dated as of June 3, 2022, as amended from time to time prior to April 1, 2026, including Revolver Loans of up to $2,600 million and a FILO tranche of incremental ABL loans of $130 million. Effective April 1, 2026, the Company used borrowings under the ABL Loan Agreement to repay all amounts outstanding under the existing $2,730 million ABL credit facility. The Company incurred an insignificant loss on debt extinguishment, which was recorded within Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Under the new ABL Loan Agreement, the Borrowers may, at their option, request an increase in the aggregate amount of the ABL Credit Facility in an amount of up to $750 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions and applicable lenders committing to provide the increase in funding. There is no assurance that additional funding would be available.

Revolver Loans and ABL FILO Loans under the ABL Credit Facility bear interest at rates that, at the Company's option, can be either at a base rate or Term SOFR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins and letter of credit fees under the ABL Credit Facility are variable and are dependent upon the prior fiscal quarter's daily average Availability (as defined in the ABL Loan Agreement), and were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Range of Facility Rates and Fees (per annum)** | **May 2, 2026** |
| Applicable margin for revolver base rate loans | 0.125% - 0.375% | 0.125% |
| Applicable margin for revolver SOFR and BA loans<sup>(1)</sup> | 1.125% - 1.375% | 1.125% |
| Applicable margin for FILO base rate loans | 1.00% - 1.25% | 1.00% |
| Applicable margin for FILO SOFR loans | 2.00% - 2.25% | 2.00% |
| Unutilized commitment fees | 0.20% | 0.20% |
| Letter of credit fees | 1.25% - 1.50% | 1.25% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Company utilizes SOFR-based loans and UNFI Canada utilizes bankers' acceptance rate-based loans.

The ABL Credit Facility is guaranteed by most of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions and limitations. The ABL Credit Facility is secured by (i) a first-priority lien on certain accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets (collectively, the "ABL Assets") and (ii) a second-priority lien on all other assets that do not constitute ABL Assets, in each case, subject to customary exceptions and limitations.

Availability under the ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base consisting of specified percentages of the value of eligible accounts receivable, credit card receivables, inventory, pharmacy receivables and pharmacy prescription files, after adjusting for customary reserves, but at no time shall exceed the aggregate commitments plus the outstanding ABL FILO Loans under the ABL Credit Facility (currently $2,530 million).

As of May 2, 2026, the borrowing base was $2,330 million, reflecting the advance rates described above and $113 million of reserves, which is below the $2,530 million limit of availability. This resulted in total availability of $2,330 million for loans and letters of credit under the ABL Credit Facility. The Company's unused credit under the ABL Credit Facility was as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *(in millions)* | **May 2, 2026** |
| Total availability for ABL loans and letters of credit | $2330 |
| ABL loans outstanding | 929 |
| Letters of credit outstanding | 199 |
| Unused credit | $1202 |

*Senior Notes* 

On October 22, 2020, the Company issued $500 million of unsecured 6.750% senior notes due October 15, 2028 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes are guaranteed by most of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions and limitations.

On February 26, 2026, the Company redeemed $115 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes. The redemption was funded with incremental borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. In connection with this redemption, the Company incurred an insignificant loss on debt extinguishment, which was recorded within Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Following the redemption, $385 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes remain outstanding.

Other postretirement benefits costs for the third quarters and year-to-date fiscal 2026 and 2025 were de minimis.

*Contributions*

No cash pension contributions are required to be made to the SUPERVALU INC. Retirement Plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), in fiscal 2026. The Company expects to contribute approximately $1 million to its other defined benefit pension plans and $1 million to its postretirement benefit plans in fiscal 2026. Contributions for the third quarters and year-to-date fiscal 2026 and 2025 were de minimis.

*Multiemployer Pension Plans*

The Company contributed $12 million in the third quarters of fiscal 2026 and 2025, and $35 million and $37 million in fiscal 2026 and 2025 year-to-date, respectively, to multiemployer pension plans, which contributions are included within Operating expenses.

**NOTE 12—INCOME TAXES**

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was an expense rate of 21.4% on pre-tax income compared to a benefit rate of 56.3% on pre-tax loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The change from the third quarter of fiscal 2025 is primarily driven by the impact of a partnership investment entered into in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, as well as a decrease in the discrete tax benefit for return to provision tax credits in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, combined with an increase in pre-tax income for the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The primary driver for the variation between the Company's statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate was discrete tax benefits resulting from return to provision tax credits.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2026 year-to-date was an expense rate of 12.5% on pre-tax income compared to a benefit rate of 35.6% on pre-tax loss for fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The change from fiscal 2025 year-to-date is primarily driven by the increase in pre-tax income, discrete tax benefits from favorable tax audit settlements and employee stock award vestings during fiscal 2026, as well as the tax credit benefit of a solar array placed in service during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The primary drivers for the variation between the Company's statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate were favorable audit settlements, discrete tax benefits resulting from employee stock award vestings and return to provision tax credits, and the solar tax credit benefit.

**NOTE 13—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE**

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Earnings (loss) per share amounts are calculated using actual unrounded figures.

**NOTE 14—BUSINESS SEGMENTS**

As disclosed in the Annual Report, the Company updated its segment reporting structure effective for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to reflect organizational changes and align with how the business is now operated and managed. The Company has three reportable segments: Natural, Conventional and Retail. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the new reportable operating segments. Reportable segments are reviewed on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a change in reportable segments has occurred.

The Natural reportable segment is engaged in the wholesale distribution of natural, organic and specialty grocery and non-food products and services and includes the Company's portfolio of natural owned brands and natural and organic snack food manufacturing business. The Conventional reportable segment is engaged in the wholesale distribution of conventional grocery and non-food products and services and includes the Company's portfolio of conventional owned brands. The Retail reportable segment derives revenues from the sale of groceries and other products at the Company's grocery and liquor stores operating under the Cub® Foods and Shoppers® banners. Intersegment sales represent sales between the segments, which are eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment transactions are generally recorded at amounts that approximate market value.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7a4f88fb53894c33a7bcda00ada1d5b5_7)</u>

The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company's CODM uses segment Adjusted EBITDA as the measure of segment profitability to assess the performance and core business trends of each segment through regular review of financial information, and when making decisions about the allocation of resources to each segment. The Company's CODM uses segment Adjusted EBITDA primarily as a part of the annual budget and forecasting process. Segment Adjusted EBITDA includes revenues and costs attributable to each of the respective business segments and certain allocated corporate expenses, based on the segment's estimated consumption of corporately managed resources.

Unallocated corporate overhead includes a portion of centrally-managed corporate functions, which include, but are not limited to, corporate legal operations, investor relations, treasury, certain enterprise-wide information technology and other corporate operating expenses that are not integral to segment performance. Unallocated corporate overhead excludes items such as restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses and share-based compensation. These items are excluded from the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and are added back to reconcile segment Adjusted EBITDA to Income (loss) before income taxes.

The Company does not report total assets by segment for internal or external reporting purposes as the Company's CODM does not assess performance or allocate resources based on segment assets. Additionally, the Company does not record its revenues within its Natural nor Conventional reportable segments for financial reporting purposes by product group, and it is therefore impracticable for it to report them accordingly.

The following tables provide financial information for each reportable segment, along with a reconciliation to Income (loss) before income taxes:

**NOTE 15—COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS**

*Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities*

The Company has outstanding guarantees related to certain lease obligations of various retailers as of May 2, 2026. These guarantees were generally made to support the business growth of wholesale customers. The guarantees are generally for the entire terms of the leases with remaining terms that range from less than one year to nine years, with a weighted average remaining term of approximately five years. For each guarantee issued, if the wholesale customer or other third-party defaults on a payment, the Company would be required to make payments under its guarantee. Generally, the guarantees are secured by indemnification agreements or personal guarantees. The Company reviews performance risk related to its guarantee obligations based on internal measures of credit performance. As of May 2, 2026, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company would be required to make in the event of default of all guarantees was $8 million ($7 million on a discounted basis). Based on the indemnification agreements, personal guarantees and results of the reviews of performance risk, as of May 2, 2026, the Company has recorded a de minimis total estimated loss in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company is a party to a variety of contractual agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters in the ordinary course of business, which indemnities may be secured by operation of law or otherwise. These agreements primarily relate to the Company's commercial contracts, service agreements, contracts entered into for the purchase and sale of stock or assets, operating leases and other real estate contracts, financial agreements, agreements to provide services to the Company and agreements to indemnify officers, directors and employees in the performance of their work. While the Company's aggregate indemnification obligations could result in a material liability, the Company is not aware of any matters that are expected to result in a material liability. The Company has recorded the de minimis fair value of these guarantees and contingent obligations, when applicable, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Other Contractual Commitments*

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into supply contracts to purchase products for resale and service contracts for fixed asset and information technology systems. These contracts typically include either volume commitments or fixed expiration dates, termination provisions and other standard contractual considerations. As of May 2, 2026, the Company had approximately $611 million of non-cancelable future purchase obligations, most of which will be paid and utilized in the ordinary course within one year.

*Legal Proceedings* 

The Company is one of dozens of companies that have been named in various lawsuits alleging that drug manufacturers, retailers and distributors contributed to the national opioid epidemic. Currently, UNFI, primarily through its subsidiary, Advantage Logistics, is named in approximately 40 suits pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio where thousands of cases have been consolidated as Multi-District Litigation ("MDL"). In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 10, 2013, between New Albertson's Inc. ("New Albertson's") and the Company (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), the Company believes that New Albertson's has an obligation to defend and indemnify UNFI in a majority of the cases. New Albertson's originally agreed to do so under a reservation of rights, however, New Albertson's is disputing its obligation to do so. In one of the MDL cases, MDL No. 2804 filed by The Blackfeet Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, all defendants were ordered to Answer the Complaint, which UNFI did on July 26, 2019. To date, no discovery has been conducted against UNFI in any of the actions. On October 7, 2022, the MDL Court issued an order directing the Company and numerous other non-litigating defendants to submit by November 1, 2022, a list of opioid cases where the Company is named and opioid dispensing and distribution data. The Company produced the data in compliance with the order. On March 8, 2023, the Company received a subpoena from the Consumer Protection Division of the Maryland Attorney General's Office seeking records related to the distribution and dispensing of opioids. On May 19, 2023, the Company provided an initial production in response to the subpoena and is waiting for further direction from the Maryland Attorney General on additional documents requested. At an April 24, 2024 status conference, the MDL Court directed that the plaintiffs and non-litigating defendants, which includes the Company, determine whether the cases will be dismissed, litigated or mediated. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company reached an agreement to settle these cases for $23.4 million and has executed the settlement agreements. The Company has recorded a liability related to these agreements within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which the Company expects to pay in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. The settlement notice and administration process is ongoing.

On January 21, 2021, various health plans filed a complaint in Minnesota state court against the Company, Albertson's Companies, LLC ("Albertson's") and Safeway, Inc. alleging the defendants committed fraud by improperly reporting inflated prices for prescription drugs for members of health plans. The Plaintiffs assert six causes of action against the defendants: common law fraud, fraudulent nondisclosure, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, violation of the Minnesota Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act and violation of the Minnesota Prevention of Consumer Fraud Act. The plaintiffs allege that between 2006 and 2016, Supervalu overcharged the health plans by not providing the health plans, as part of usual and customary prices, the benefit of discounts given to customers purchasing prescription medication who requested that Supervalu match competitor prices. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages. Similar to the above case, for the majority of the relevant period Supervalu and Albertson's operated as a combined company. In March 2013, Supervalu divested Albertson's and pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Albertson's is responsible for any claims regarding its pharmacies. On February 19, 2021, Albertson's and Safeway removed the case to Minnesota Federal District Court, and on March 22, 2021, plaintiffs filed a motion to remand to state court. On February 26, 2021, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. The hearing on the remand motion and motions to dismiss occurred on May 20, 2021. On September 21, 2021, the Federal District Court remanded the case to Minnesota state court and did not rule on the motion to dismiss, which was refiled in state court. On February 1, 2022, the state court denied the motion to dismiss. The trial ready date is set for April 19, 2027. The Company believes these claims are without merit and is vigorously defending this matter.

UNFI is currently subject to a qui tam action alleging violations of the False Claims Act ("FCA"). In United States ex rel. Schutte and Yarberry v. Supervalu, New Albertson's, Inc., et al, which is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois, the relators allege that defendants overcharged government healthcare programs by not providing the government, as a part of usual and customary prices, the benefit of discounts given to customers purchasing prescription medication who requested that defendants match competitor prices. The complaint was originally filed under seal and amended on November 30, 2015. The government previously investigated the relators' allegations and declined to intervene. Violations of the FCA are subject to treble damages and penalties of up to a specified dollar amount per false claim. The relators elected to pursue the case on their own and have alleged FCA damages against Supervalu and New Albertson's in excess of $100 million, not including trebling and statutory penalties. For the majority of the relevant period Supervalu and New Albertson's operated as a combined company. In March 2013, Supervalu divested New Albertson's (and related assets) pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. Based on the claims that are currently pending and the Stock Purchase Agreement, Supervalu's share of a potential award (at the currently claimed value by the relators) would be approximately $24 million, not including trebling and statutory penalties. Both sides moved for summary judgment. On August 5, 2019, the Court granted one of the relators' summary judgment motions finding that the defendants' lower matched prices are the usual and customary prices and that Medicare Part D and Medicaid were entitled to those prices. On July 2, 2020, the Court granted the defendants' summary judgment motion and denied the relators' motion, dismissing the case. On July 9, 2020, the relators filed a notice of appeal with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. On August 12, 2021, the Seventh Circuit affirmed the District Court's decision granting summary judgment in defendants' favor. On June 1, 2023, the Supreme Court reversed and vacated the lower court's judgment and remanded the case to the Seventh Circuit for further proceedings. On July 27, 2023, the Seventh Circuit vacated the summary judgment order and remanded the case to the District Court. On August 22, 2023, the District Court set the trial date for April 29, 2024. On October 11, 2023, each of the Company and the relators filed a motion for summary judgment. On February 16, 2024, the defendants filed a motion to reconsider the Court's August 5, 2019 partial grant of summary judgment to the relators and to continue the trial date. On February 27, 2024, the Court granted the defendants' motion for a trial date continuance and vacated the April 29, 2024 trial date. On April 26, 2024, the Court denied the defendants' motion to reconsider the partial grant of summary judgment. On May 20, 2024, the District Court heard oral argument on the pending motions for summary judgment and on September 30, 2024, the Court denied both parties' motions for summary judgment on scienter and granted the relators' motion for summary judgment on materiality. On March 4, 2025, after a three-week jury trial, the jury found in favor of the Company, determining that the Company has no liability. On April 1, 2025, the relators filed a motion asking the District Court to alter or amend the judgment to enter judgment for the relators on penalties and a new trial on damages. The Company filed its response in opposition to the motion on April 29, 2025. On October 31, 2025, the Court denied the relators' motions. On November 26, 2025, the relators filed a notice of appeal with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals and the Company filed its cross appeal on December 5, 2025. The parties have briefed the appeal and are waiting for oral argument to be set.

The Company, J. Alexander Miller Douglas, John Howard and Chris Testa are named in a putative securities class action that was originally filed on March 29, 2023. In Dan Sills, et al. v. United Natural Foods, Inc., et al., pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the plaintiffs allege that defendants violated federal securities laws by making materially false and/or misleading statements and failing to disclose material facts about the Company's business, operations and prospects. The defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss on December 21, 2023, and on September 13, 2024, the court issued an opinion granting in part and denying in part the motion. On October 28, 2024, the Company answered the complaint denying the allegations. On March 7, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification and the Company filed its response on June 13, 2025. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company reached an agreement to settle this case for $39 million, which will be funded directly by the Company's insurers to the settlement administrator, and is in the process of finalizing the settlement agreement. The Company has recorded a liability related to this agreement within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and an offsetting receivable for insurance recoveries within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On February 6, 2026, a shareholder filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit against the Company as a nominal defendant and certain current and former officers and directors of the Company as defendants. In Raye Stapleton v. J. Alexander Miller Douglas, et. al. pending in Delaware Chancery Court, the plaintiff alleges that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing, approving and/or acquiescing in the making of materially false and/or misleading statements and failing to disclose material facts about the Company's business, operations and prospects based primarily on the same alleged conduct underlying the securities class action described above. On March 19, 2026, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7a4f88fb53894c33a7bcda00ada1d5b5_7)</u>

The Company is named in a putative class action lawsuit that was filed on November 3, 2024. The case is captioned NYSM Organics LLC v. United Natural Foods, Inc., and is pending in the Rhode Island Superior Court. In the Amended Complaint, which was filed on December 30, 2024, the plaintiff alleges that the Company took prompt-pay discounts improperly. The Amended Complaint asserts claims for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, and violation of the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act. In an order dated June 5, 2025, the Court dismissed the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act claim. The Company filed its answer to the Amended Complaint on June 16, 2025.

From time to time, the Company receives notice of claims or potential claims or becomes involved in litigation, alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration, or other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business, including investigations and claims regarding employment law, including wage and hour (including class actions); pension plans; labor union disputes, including unfair labor practices, such as claims for back-pay in the context of labor contract negotiations and other matters; supplier, customer and service provider contract terms and claims, including matters related to supplier or customer insolvency or general inability to pay obligations as they become due; product liability claims, including those where the supplier may be insolvent and customers or consumers are seeking recovery against the Company; real estate and environmental matters, including claims in connection with its ownership and lease of a substantial amount of real property, both retail and warehouse properties; and antitrust. Additionally, costs could result from claims from customers or suppliers related to the Cybersecurity Incident. Other than as described above, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which its property is subject.

Predicting the outcomes of claims and litigation and estimating related costs and exposures involves substantial uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes, costs and exposures to vary materially from current expectations. Management regularly monitors the Company's exposure to the loss contingencies associated with these matters and may from time to time change its predictions with respect to outcomes and estimates with respect to related costs and exposures. Management has made provisions where it believes the loss contingency is probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of May 2, 2026, amounts accrued for these legal proceedings not quantified above are not material, individually or in the aggregate.

Although management believes it has made appropriate assessments of potential and contingent loss in each of these cases based on current facts and circumstances, and application of prevailing legal principles, there can be no assurance that material differences in actual outcomes from management's current assessments, costs and exposures relative to current predictions and estimates, or material changes in such predictions or estimates will not occur. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

**NOTE 16—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company completed the sale of a surplus distribution center, which was previously classified as held for sale within Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the sale, the Company expects to record an $18 million gain on sale within Loss on sale of assets and other asset charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of this property to repay borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility.

**Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. In some cases you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "seek," "should," "will" and "would," or similar words. Statements that contain these words and other statements that are forward-looking in nature should be read carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of future results of operations or of financial positions or state other "forward-looking" information.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent uncertainty and may ultimately prove to be incorrect. These statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions, which are based on currently available information. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or actual operating results. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our dependence on principal customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the relatively low margins of our business, which are sensitive to inflationary and deflationary pressures and intense competition, including as a result of the continuing consolidation of retailers and the growth of consumer choices for grocery and consumable purchases;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our strategic initiatives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in relationships with our suppliers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to develop, implement, operate and maintain, and rely on third parties to operate and maintain, reliable and secure technology systems, and the effectiveness of our business continuity plans in response to an incident impacting our technology systems, such as the unauthorized incident on our technology systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• labor and other workforce shortages and challenges;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the addition or loss of significant customers or material changes to our relationships with these customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to realize anticipated benefits of strategic transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to continue to grow sales, including of our higher margin natural and organic foods and non-food products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to maintain sufficient volume in our Natural and Conventional businesses to support our operating infrastructure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to access additional capital;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in healthcare, pension and other costs under our single employer benefit plan and multiemployer benefit plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential for additional asset impairment charges;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our sensitivity to general economic conditions including inflation, tariff policy and changes in disposable income levels and consumer purchasing habits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to timely and successfully deploy our warehouse management system throughout our distribution centers and our transportation management system across the Company and to achieve efficiencies and cost savings from these efforts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential for disruptions in our supply chain or our distribution capabilities from circumstances beyond our control, including due to lack of long-term contracts, severe weather, labor shortages or work stoppages or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effect of adverse decisions in, or settlement of, litigation or other proceedings to which we are subject;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• moderated supplier promotional activity, including decreased forward buying opportunities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• union-organizing activities that could cause labor relations difficulties and increased costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in tax laws and regulations, and actions by federal, state and local taxing authorities related to the interpretation and application of such tax laws and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to maintain food quality and safety; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• volatility in fuel costs.

You should carefully review the risks described under "Risk Factors" included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 2, 2025 (the "Annual Report"), as well as any other cautionary language in this Quarterly Report, as the occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect, which may be material, on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We offer approximately 230,000 products consisting of national, regional and private label brands grouped into the following main product categories: grocery and general merchandise; perishables; frozen foods; wellness and personal care items; and bulk and foodservice products. We believe we are North America's premier grocery wholesaler with 47 distribution centers and warehouses representing approximately 27 million square feet of warehouse space. We are a coast-to-coast distributor with customers in all 50 states as well as all ten provinces in Canada, making us a desirable partner for retailers and consumer product manufacturers. We believe our total product assortment and service offerings are unmatched by our wholesale competitors. We plan to continue to pursue new business opportunities with independent retailers that operate diverse formats, regional and national chains, as well as international customers with wide-ranging needs. Our business is classified into three reportable segments: Natural, Conventional and Retail.

We are executing against our value creation strategy, which seeks to build capabilities that add value to our customers and suppliers through our portfolio of products, programs, insights and services, while improving our effectiveness and efficiency. We are focused on controllable variables in several key areas: network optimization; managing annual capital spending; and optimizing our cost structure and net working capital position.

We expect to continue to use available capital to re-invest in our business and are committed to improving our free cash flow and financial leverage while reducing outstanding debt.

We believe we can optimize our performance and profitability through our improvement efforts, which we expect will improve our cost structure, increase sales of products and services, and position us to provide tailored, data-driven solutions to help our customers run their businesses more efficiently and expand our customer base.

**Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business** 

Our results are impacted by macroeconomic and demographic trends, changes in the food distribution market structure and changes in consumer behavior, which may result from factors beyond our control, including geopolitical events and other events that may trigger economic volatility and negatively impact discretionary income levels and consumer confidence, social trends, changes in the levels of disposable income and the health of the economy in which our customers and stores operate.

The U.S. economy continues to experience economic volatility, which has had, and we expect may continue to have, an impact on consumer confidence and behavior. Consumer spending may continue to be impacted by levels of discretionary income with consumers trading down to a less expensive mix of products for grocery items or buying fewer items. In addition, changes in pricing levels continue to affect our business, and fluctuating commodity, fuel and labor input costs may continue to impact the prices of products we procure from manufacturers. We believe our product mix, which ranges from high-quality natural and organic products to national and local conventional brands, including cost conscious private label brands, positions us to serve a broad cross section of North American retailers and end customers, and may lessen the impact of any further shifts in consumer and industry trends in grocery product mix. We continue to monitor the impacts of the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape, including rapidly evolving tariff and global trade policies and rising fuel costs, on all aspects of our business.

We are also impacted by changes in food distribution trends affecting our wholesale customers, such as direct store deliveries and other methods of distribution. Our wholesale customers manage their businesses independently and operate in a competitive environment.

**Impact of Product Cost Changes** 

We experienced a mix of inflation and deflation across product categories during the third quarter of fiscal 2026. In the aggregate across our businesses, including the mix of products, management estimates our businesses experienced product cost inflation of approximately four percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Cost inflation and deflation estimates are based on individual like items sold during the periods being compared. Our pricing to our customers is determined at the time of sale, primarily based on the then prevailing vendor listed base cost, and includes discounts we offer to our customers. Changes in merchandising, customer buying habits and competitive pressures create inherent difficulties in measuring the impact of inflation and deflation on Net sales and Gross profit.

In an inflationary environment, rising vendor costs typically increase Net sales for wholesalers, driven by higher vendor prices when other variables such as quantities sold, mix of units sold and vendor promotions are constant. Under the last-in, first out ("LIFO") method of inventory accounting, product cost increases are recognized within Cost of sales based on expected year-end inventory quantities and costs, which generally has the effect of decreasing Gross profit and the carrying value of inventory during periods of inflation.

**Wholesale Distribution Network Optimization**

We continue to evaluate our distribution center network to better and more efficiently service customers and suppliers and further optimize performance. In connection with the termination of our supply agreement with a customer in the East region in fiscal 2025, we ceased operations at our Allentown, Pennsylvania distribution center in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 with the remaining volume consolidated into other facilities in the Northeast. Business with this customer in the Northeast accounted for approximately $1 billion in annual sales. The termination enables us to accelerate progress toward our longer-term strategic and three-year financial objectives. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we consolidated the volume of a distribution center into a nearby facility in the West region and announced the planned consolidation of a facility in the Central region, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.

We could incur incremental expenses related to any future network realignment, expansion or improvements, including network optimization and automation initiatives. We are working to both minimize future costs and obtain new business to further improve the efficiency of our distribution network.

**Retail Operations**

We operated 66 grocery stores, including 53 Cub Foods stores and 13 Shoppers stores, as of May 2, 2026. In addition, we supplied another 24 Cub Foods stores operated by our wholesale customers through franchise and minority equity ownership arrangements. We operated 77 pharmacies primarily within the stores we operate and the stores of our franchisees. In addition, we operated 23 "Cub Wine and Spirits" and "Cub Liquor" stores.

We plan to continue to invest in and optimize our Retail segment in areas such as customer-facing merchandising initiatives, physical facilities, technology and operational tools.

**Composition of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Business Performance Assessment**

*Net Sales*

Our Net sales consist primarily of product sales of natural, organic, specialty, produce, and conventional grocery and non-food products, adjusted for customer volume discounts, vendor incentives when applicable, returns and allowances, and professional services revenue. Net sales also include amounts charged by us to customers for shipping and handling and fuel surcharges.

*Cost of Sales and Gross Profit*

The principal components of our Cost of sales include the amounts paid to suppliers for product sold, plus transportation costs necessary to bring the product to, or move product between, our distribution centers and retail stores, partially offset by consideration received from suppliers in connection with the purchase, transportation or promotion of the suppliers' products.

*Operating Expenses*

Operating expenses include distribution expenses of warehousing, delivery, purchasing, receiving, selecting, and outbound transportation expenses, and selling and administrative expenses. These expenses include salaries and wages, employee benefits, occupancy, insurance, depreciation and amortization expense and share-based compensation expense.

*Restructuring, Acquisition and Integration Related Expenses*

Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses reflect expenses resulting from restructuring activities, including severance costs, facility closure costs, contract exit-related costs, share-based compensation acceleration charges and acquisition and integration related expenses. Integration related expenses include certain professional consulting expenses and incremental expenses related to combining facilities required to optimize our distribution network as a result of acquisitions.

*Loss on Sale of Assets and Other Asset Charges*

Loss on sale of assets and other asset charges primarily includes losses (gains) on sales of assets, losses on sales of financial assets, and asset impairments.

*Net Periodic Benefit Income, Excluding Service Cost*

Net periodic benefit income, excluding service cost reflects the recognition of expected returns on benefit plan assets and interest costs on plan liabilities.

*Interest Expense, Net*

Interest expense, net includes primarily interest expense on long-term debt, net of capitalized interest, loss on debt extinguishment, interest expense on finance lease obligations, amortization of financing costs and discounts, and interest income.

*Adjusted EBITDA*

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). In addition to the GAAP results, we consider certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of our business and understand underlying operating performance and core business trends, which we use to facilitate operating performance comparisons of our business on a consistent basis over time. Adjusted EBITDA is provided as a supplement to our results of operations and related analysis, and should not be considered superior to, a substitute for or an alternative to, any financial measure of performance prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items because they are non-cash items or items that do not reflect management's assessment of ongoing business performance.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it provides additional information regarding factors and trends affecting our business, which are used in the business planning process to understand expected operating performance, to evaluate results against those expectations, and because of its importance as a measure of underlying operating performance, as the primary compensation performance measure under certain compensation programs and plans. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is reflective of factors that affect our underlying operating performance and facilitate operating performance comparisons of our business on a consistent basis over time. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. Certain adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflected below exclude items that may be considered recurring in nature and may be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. These measurements and items may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should be reviewed in conjunction with our results reported in accordance with GAAP in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

There are significant limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure including, but not limited to, it not reflecting the cost of cash expenditures for capital assets or certain other contractual commitments, finance lease obligation and debt service expenses, income taxes and any impacts from changes in working capital.

<u>Third Quarter</u>

Our Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased approximately 4.2% from the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in Net sales was primarily driven by a decrease in Conventional and Retail Net Sales, partially offset by an increase in Natural Net Sales.

Natural Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 increased approximately 4.4% from the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a low single digit increase from inflation and a less than 1% increase in unit volumes, including new business with existing and new customers, offset by a decrease in volume from anticipated lost sales related to the unwind of short-term project-based work.

Conventional Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased approximately 13.6% from the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was driven by a mid-teens decline in unit volumes including the high single digit impact from network optimization actions, largely driven by the transition out of our Allentown, Pennsylvania distribution center completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, partially offset by a low single digit increase from inflation.

Retail Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased approximately 10.1% from the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by store closures and a 4.4% decrease in identical store sales from lower volume.

Lower eliminations of Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025 were primarily due to a decrease in Conventional to Retail sales, which are eliminated upon consolidation.

<u>Year-to-Date</u>

Our Net sales for fiscal 2026 year-to-date decreased approximately 2.4% from fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The decrease in Net sales was primarily driven by a decrease in Conventional and Retail Net Sales, partially offset by an increase in Natural Net Sales.

Natural Net sales for fiscal 2026 year-to-date increased approximately 7.1% from fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The increase was primarily driven by a low single digit increase in unit volumes, including new business with existing and new customers, as well as a low single digit increase from inflation.

Conventional Net sales for fiscal 2026 year-to-date decreased approximately 12.4% from fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The decrease was driven by a mid-teens decline in unit volumes including the high single digit impact from network optimization actions, largely driven by the transition out of our Allentown, Pennsylvania distribution center completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, partially offset by a low single digit increase from inflation.

Retail Net sales for fiscal 2026 year-to-date decreased approximately 7.9% from fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The decrease was primarily driven by store closures and a 3.1% decrease in identical store sales from lower volume.

Lower eliminations of Net sales for fiscal 2026 year-to-date as compared to fiscal 2025 year-to-date were primarily due to a decrease in Conventional to Retail sales, which are eliminated upon consolidation.

*Cost of Sales and Gross Profit*

Our Gross profit decreased $33 million, or 3.0%, to $1,049 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, from $1,082 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Our Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales increased to 13.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 13.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in gross profit rate was primarily driven by the positive impact of network optimization actions and customer mix, which were partially offset by a lower margin rate in the Retail segment.

Our Gross profit decreased $46 million, or 1.4%, to $3,146 million for fiscal 2026 year-to-date, from $3,192 million for fiscal 2025 year-to-date. Our Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales increased to 13.4% for fiscal 2026 year-to-date compared to 13.3% for fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The increase in gross profit rate was primarily driven by the positive impact of network optimization actions and customer mix as well as higher levels of procurement gains, which were partially offset by a lower margin rate in the Retail segment and $20 million of charges associated with the previously disclosed Cybersecurity Incident.

*Operating Expenses*

Operating expenses decreased $71 million, or 6.9%, to $954 million, or 12.4% of Net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $1,025 million, or 12.7% of Net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in Operating expenses as a percentage of Net sales was primarily driven by $20 million in cybersecurity insurance proceeds and the benefits from cost saving initiatives, including network optimization actions and higher levels of distribution center productivity that improved labor cost rates.

Operating expenses decreased $149 million, or 4.9%, to $2,922 million, or 12.4% of Net sales, for fiscal 2026 year-to-date compared to $3,071 million, or 12.7% of Net sales, for fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The decrease in Operating expenses as a percentage of Net sales was primarily driven by the benefits from cost saving initiatives, including network optimization actions and higher levels of distribution center productivity that improved labor cost rates, as well as $40 million in cybersecurity insurance recoveries, partially offset by higher costs associated with union and other employee benefits.

*Restructuring, Acquisition and Integration Related Expenses*

Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses decreased $4 million to $10 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $14 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in costs associated with outsourcing certain corporate functions under restructuring initiatives and certain employee severance and other employee separation costs, partially offset by an increase in closed property charges and costs.

Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses increased $5 million to $40 million for fiscal 2026 year-to-date, compared to $35 million for fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The increase was primarily driven by higher closed property charges and costs for fiscal 2026 year-to-date and an adjustment to previously recorded multiemployer pension plan withdrawal liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, partially offset by a decrease in certain employee severance and other employee separation costs and costs associated with outsourcing certain corporate functions under restructuring initiatives.

*Loss on Sale of Assets and Other Asset Charges*

Loss on sale of assets and other asset charges decreased $9 million to $19 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, from $28 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

The decrease in interest expense, net, in fiscal 2026 year-to-date compared to fiscal 2025 year-to-date was primarily driven by lower outstanding long-term debt balances.

*Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes*

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was an expense rate of 21.4% on pre-tax income compared to a benefit rate of 56.3% on pre-tax loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The change from the third quarter of fiscal 2025 is primarily driven by the impact of a partnership investment entered into in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, as well as a decrease in the discrete tax benefit for return to provision tax credits in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, combined with an increase in pre-tax income for the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2026 year-to-date was an expense rate of 12.5% on pre-tax income compared to a benefit rate of 35.6% on pre-tax loss for fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The change from fiscal 2025 year-to-date is primarily driven by the increase in pre-tax income, discrete tax benefits from favorable tax audit settlements and employee stock award vestings during fiscal 2026, as well as the tax credit benefit of a solar array placed in service during the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

<u>Third Quarter</u>

Natural Adjusted EBITDA increased $22 million, or 17.7%, for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was driven by an increase in gross profit excluding the LIFO charge and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Natural Gross profit, which excludes the LIFO charge and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, increased $24 million. Natural gross profit rate was approximately flat primarily due to lower product margin rates and customer mix, offset by the favorable impact of supplier programs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Natural Operating expense, which excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, increased $2 million. Natural operating expense rate decreased approximately 39 basis points primarily due to the benefits from cost saving initiatives in distribution expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses and lower allocated corporate overhead driven largely by incentive compensation, partially offset by increases in distribution expenses associated with union and other employee benefits and higher fuel costs.

Conventional Adjusted EBITDA increased $17 million, or 36.2%, for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was driven by a decrease in operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in gross profit excluding the LIFO charge and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Conventional Gross profit, which excludes the LIFO charge and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, decreased $24 million. Conventional gross profit rate increased approximately 89 basis points driven primarily by the positive impact of network optimization actions and customer mix.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Conventional Operating expense, which excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, decreased $41 million. Conventional operating expense rate increased approximately 14 basis points primarily due to the deleveraging impact of lower sales on fixed costs and increases in distribution expenses associated with union and other employee benefits, partially offset by benefits from cost saving initiatives in distribution expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, which included the benefits of network optimization actions in distribution expenses.

Retail Adjusted EBITDA decreased $10 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was driven by a decrease in gross profit excluding the LIFO charge, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Retail Gross profit, which excludes the LIFO charge and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, decreased $19 million. Retail gross profit rate decreased approximately 84 basis points driven primarily by lower product margin rates and changes in category mix.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Retail Operating expense, which excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, decreased $9 million. Retail operating expense rate increased approximately 108 basis points primarily due to increases in occupancy-related costs and the deleveraging impact of lower sales on fixed costs, partially offset by lower labor costs from store closures.

<u>Year-to-Date</u>

Natural Adjusted EBITDA increased $80 million, or 24.8%, for fiscal 2026 year-to-date as compared to fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The increase was driven by an increase in gross profit excluding the LIFO charge and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Natural Gross profit, which excludes the LIFO charge and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, increased $101 million. Natural gross profit rate decreased approximately 11 basis points driven primarily by lower product margin rates and customer mix, which were partially offset through supplier programs and higher levels of procurement gains.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Natural Operating expense, which excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, increased $21 million. Natural operating expense rate decreased approximately 55 basis points primarily due to the benefits from cost saving initiatives in distribution expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses and the leveraging impact of higher sales, partially offset by increases in distribution expenses associated with union and other employee benefits.

Conventional Adjusted EBITDA increased $57 million, or 37.7%, for fiscal 2026 year-to-date as compared to fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The increase was driven by a decrease in operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in gross profit excluding the LIFO charge and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Conventional Gross profit, which excludes the LIFO charge and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, decreased $58 million. Conventional gross profit rate increased approximately 89 basis points driven primarily by the positive impact of network optimization actions and customer and product mix, higher levels of procurement gains and recoveries related to settlements with customers and suppliers in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Conventional Operating expense, which excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, decreased $115 million. Conventional operating expense rate increased approximately 12 basis points primarily due to the deleveraging impact of lower sales on fixed costs and increases in distribution expenses associated with union and other employee benefits, partially offset by benefits from cost saving initiatives in distribution expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, which included the benefits of network optimization actions in distribution expenses.

Retail Adjusted EBITDA decreased $32 million for fiscal 2026 year-to-date as compared to fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The decrease was driven by a decrease in gross profit excluding the LIFO charge, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Retail Gross profit, which excludes the LIFO charge and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, decreased $57 million. Retail gross profit rate decreased approximately 132 basis points driven primarily by lower product margin rates, changes in category mix and lower sales volume.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Retail Operating expense, which excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and other adjustments as outlined in Note 14—Business Segments, decreased $25 million. Retail operating expense rate increased approximately 60 basis points primarily due to the deleveraging impact of lower sales on fixed costs and increases in occupancy-related costs, partially offset by lower labor costs from store closures and operating efficiencies.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

*Highlights*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total liquidity as of May 2, 2026 was $1,245 million and consisted of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ $1,202 million of unused credit under our asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Facility"), which decreased $251 million from $1,453 million as of August 2, 2025, primarily due to a reduction in the borrowing base, partially offset by a reduction in net borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ $43 million of cash and cash equivalents, which decreased $1 million from $44 million as of August 2, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* Total debt decreased $199 million to $1,663 million as of May 2, 2026 from $1,862 million as of August 2, 2025, primarily related to a redemption of $115 million of the aggregate principal amount of our $500 million of unsecured 6.750% senior notes due October 15, 2028 (the "Senior Notes") in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and a reduction in net borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility due to net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by payments for capital expenditures and repurchases of common stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Working capital decreased $19 million to $802 million as of May 2, 2026 from $821 million as of August 2, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable combined with a decrease in inventory levels, largely offset by a decrease in accounts payable related to lower inventory levels, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a decrease in accrued compensation and benefits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In connection with the contract termination described further in Note 4—Restructuring, Acquisition and Integration Related Expenses, we paid the remaining installments totaling $35 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we made a voluntary prepayment of $9 million on our senior secured first lien term loan (the "Term Loan Facility") funded with proceeds from the sale of the Bismarck, North Dakota distribution center.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we entered into an amended and restated loan agreement (the "ABL Loan Agreement"), which provides for an ABL Credit Facility with an aggregate principal amount available of up to $2,530 million, including Revolver Loans (as defined in the ABL Loan Agreement) of up to $2,400 million and a First In, Last Out ("FILO") tranche of incremental ABL loans of $130 million, and extends the maturity of our ABL Credit Facility to April 1, 2031. Refer to Note 9—Long-Term Debt in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In fiscal 2026 year-to-date, we repurchased 824,855 shares of our common stock for a total cost of $29 million.

*Sources and Uses of Cash*

We expect to continue to replenish operating assets and pay down debt obligations with internally generated funds. A significant reduction in operating earnings or the incurrence of operating losses could have a negative impact on our operating cash flow, which may limit our ability to pay down our outstanding indebtedness as planned. Our credit facilities are secured by a substantial portion of our total assets. We expect to be able to fund debt maturities and finance lease liabilities through fiscal 2026 with internally generated funds and borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility.

Our primary sources of liquidity are from internally generated funds and from borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Facility. We believe our short-term and long-term financing abilities are adequate as a supplement to internally generated cash flows to satisfy debt obligations and fund capital expenditures as opportunities arise. Our continued access to short-term and long-term financing through credit markets depends on numerous factors, including the condition of the credit markets and our results of operations, cash flows, financial position and credit ratings.

Primary uses of cash include debt service, capital expenditures, working capital maintenance depending on seasonality and other fluctuations, investments in cloud technologies and income tax payments. We typically finance working capital needs with cash provided from operating activities and short-term borrowings. Inventories are managed primarily through demand forecasting and replenishing depleted inventories.

We currently do not pay a dividend on our common stock. In addition, we are limited in the aggregate amount of dividends that we may pay under the terms of our Term Loan Facility, ABL Credit Facility and Senior Notes. Subject to certain limitations contained in our debt agreements and as market conditions warrant, we may from time to time refinance indebtedness that we have incurred, including through the incurrence or repayment of loans under existing or new credit facilities or the issuance or repayment of debt securities. Proceeds from the sale of any properties mortgaged and encumbered under our Term Loan Facility are required to be used to make additional Term Loan Facility payments or to be reinvested in the business.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7a4f88fb53894c33a7bcda00ada1d5b5_7)</u>

*Long-Term Debt*

During fiscal 2026 year-to-date, we reduced borrowings by a net $70 million under the ABL Credit Facility, made voluntary and mandatory prepayments on the Term Loan Facility totaling $12 million and redeemed $115 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes. Refer to Note 9—Long-Term Debt in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a detailed discussion of the provisions of our credit facilities and certain long-term debt agreements and additional information.

Our term loan agreement dated as of October 22, 2018 (as amended, the "Term Loan Agreement") and Senior Notes do not include any financial maintenance covenants. Our ABL Loan Agreement subjects us to a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 calculated at the end of each of our fiscal quarters on a rolling four quarter basis, if the adjusted aggregate availability is ever less than the greater of (i) $204 million and (ii) 10% of the aggregate borrowing base. We have not been subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the ABL Loan Agreement, including through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Term Loan Agreement, Senior Notes and ABL Loan Agreement contain certain operational and informational covenants customary for debt securities of these types that limit our and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, incur debt, declare or pay dividends or make other distributions to our stockholders, transfer or sell assets, create liens on our assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our and our subsidiaries' assets on a consolidated basis. We were in compliance with all such covenants for all periods presented. If we fail to comply with any of these covenants, we may be in default under the applicable debt agreement, and all amounts due thereunder may become immediately due and payable. The potential amount of prepayment under the Term Loan Facility from Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) in fiscal 2026 that may be required in fiscal 2027 is not reasonably estimable as of May 2, 2026.

*Derivatives and Hedging Activity*

We enter into interest rate swap contracts from time to time to mitigate our exposure to changes in market interest rates as part of our strategy to manage our debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired position of notional debt amounts subject to fixed and floating interest rates. Interest rate swap contracts are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures.

As of May 2, 2026, we had an aggregate of $650 million of floating rate notional debt subject to active interest rate swap contracts, which effectively fix the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") component of our floating interest payments through pay fixed and receive floating interest rate swap agreements. These fixed rates range from 3.333% to 4.130%, with maturities between October 2026 and December 2028. The fair values of these interest rate derivatives represent a total net liability of $0 million as of May 2, 2026, and are subject to volatility based on changes in market interest rates.

From time to time, we enter into fixed price fuel supply agreements and foreign currency hedges. As of May 2, 2026, we had fixed price fuel contracts and foreign currency forward agreements outstanding. Gains and losses and the outstanding assets and liabilities from these arrangements are insignificant.

*Payments for Capital Expenditures and Cloud Technology Implementation Expenditures*

Our capital expenditures for fiscal 2026 year-to-date were $100 million compared to $157 million for fiscal 2025 year-to-date, a decrease of $57 million primarily driven by reduced capital spending related to automation initiatives. Our capital spending for fiscal 2026 and 2025 year-to-date principally included supply chain and information technology expenditures, including maintenance expenditures and investments in growth initiatives. Cloud technology implementation expenditures, which are included in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $18 million for fiscal 2026 year-to-date compared to $6 million for fiscal 2025 year-to-date.

Fiscal 2026 capital and cloud implementation spending is expected to be approximately $250 million and include technology platform investments and projects that automate and optimize our distribution network. The components of capital and cloud implementation expenditures for fiscal 2026 will be primarily dependent on the nature of certain contracts to be executed. The timing of capital and cloud implementation spending is expected to vary based on a number of factors such as project execution milestones, which can result in fluctuations in cash outflows that are not necessarily indicative of future trends. We expect to finance fiscal 2026 capital and cloud implementation expenditures requirements with cash generated from operations and borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility. Future investments may be financed through long-term debt or borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility and cash from operations.

*Cash Flow Information*

The following summarizes our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **39-Week Period Ended** | **39-Week Period Ended** | |
| *(in millions)* | **May 2, 2026** | **May 3, 2025** |<br>**Change** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities  | $343 | $310 | $33 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (93) | (153) | 60 |
| Net cash used in financing activities | (251) | (145) | (106) |
| Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents | (1) | 12 | (13) |
| Cash and cash equivalents, at beginning of period | 44 | 40 | 4 |
| Cash and cash equivalents, at end of period | $43 | $52 | $(9) |

---

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2026 year-to-date compared to fiscal 2025 year-to-date was primarily due to an increase in cash generated from net income, partially offset by higher levels of cash utilized in net working capital and payments related to the contract termination described further in Note 4—Restructuring, Acquisition and Integration Related Expenses in fiscal 2026 year-to-date.

The decrease in net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2026 year-to-date compared to fiscal 2025 year-to-date was primarily due to lower payments for capital expenditures.

The increase in net cash used in financing activities in fiscal 2026 year-to-date compared to fiscal 2025 year-to-date was primarily due to an increase in repayments of long-term debt and finance leases and an increase in cash used to repurchase common stock resulting from the increase in net cash provided by operating activities and the decrease in cash used in investing activities, as described above, partially offset by lower net repayments of borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility in fiscal 2026 year-to-date.

*Other Obligations and Commitments*

Our principal contractual obligations and commitments consist of obligations under our long-term debt, interest on long-term debt, operating and finance leases, purchase obligations, self-insurance liabilities and multiemployer plan withdrawal liabilities.

Except as otherwise disclosed in Note 15—Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Note 9—Long-Term Debt, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since the end of fiscal 2025. Refer to Item 7 of the Annual Report for additional information regarding our contractual obligations.

*Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Obligations*

In fiscal 2026, no cash pension contributions are required to be made to the SUPERVALU INC. Retirement Plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). An insignificant amount of contributions is expected to be made to other defined benefit pension plans and postretirement benefit plans in fiscal 2026. We fund our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan based on the minimum contribution required under ERISA, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and other applicable laws and additional contributions made at our discretion. We may accelerate contributions or undertake contributions in excess of the minimum requirements from time to time subject to the availability of cash in excess of operating and financing needs or other factors as may be applicable. We assess the relative attractiveness of the use of cash to accelerate contributions considering such factors as expected return on assets, discount rates, cost of debt, reducing or eliminating required Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation variable rate premiums or the ability to achieve exemption from participant notices of underfunding.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7a4f88fb53894c33a7bcda00ada1d5b5_7)</u>

*Off-Balance Sheet Multiemployer Pension Arrangements*

We contribute to various multiemployer pension plans under collective bargaining agreements, primarily defined benefit pension plans. These multiemployer plans generally provide retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. The benefits are paid from assets held in trust for that purpose. Plan trustees are typically responsible for determining the level of benefits to be provided to participants as well as the investment of the assets and plan administration. Trustees are appointed in equal number by employers and the unions that are parties to the relevant collective bargaining agreements. Based on the assessment of the most recent information available from the multiemployer plans, we believe that most of the plans to which we contribute are underfunded. We are only one of a number of employers contributing to these plans and the underfunding is not a direct obligation or liability to us.

Our contributions can fluctuate from year to year due to store closures, employer participation within the respective plans and reductions in headcount. Our contributions to these plans could increase in the near term. However, the amount of any increase or decrease in contributions will depend on a variety of factors, including the results of our collective bargaining efforts, investment returns on the assets held in the plans, actions taken by the trustees who manage the plans and requirements under the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act and Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code. Expense is recognized in connection with these plans as contributions are funded, in accordance with GAAP. We made contributions to these plans and recognized expense of $48 million in fiscal 2025. In fiscal 2026, we expect to contribute approximately $50 million to multiemployer plans, subject to the outcome of collective bargaining and capital market conditions. If we were to significantly reduce contributions, exit certain markets or otherwise cease making contributions to these plans, we could trigger a partial or complete withdrawal that could require us to record a withdrawal liability obligation and make withdrawal liability payments to the fund. We expect required cash payments to fund multiemployer pension plans from which we have withdrawn to be insignificant in any one fiscal year, which would exclude any payments that may be agreed to on a lump sum basis to satisfy existing withdrawal liabilities. Any future withdrawal liability would be recorded when it is probable that a liability exists and can be reasonably estimated, in accordance with GAAP. Any triggered withdrawal obligation could result in a material charge and payment obligations that would be required to be made over an extended period of time.

We also make contributions to multiemployer health and welfare plans in amounts set forth in the related collective bargaining agreements. A small minority of collective bargaining agreements contain reserve requirements that may trigger unanticipated contributions resulting in increased healthcare expenses. If these healthcare provisions cannot be renegotiated in a manner that reduces the prospective healthcare cost as we intend, our Operating expenses could increase in the future.

Refer to Note 13—Benefit Plans in Part II, Item 8 of the Annual Report for additional information regarding the plans in which we participate.

*Share Repurchases*

In September 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program for up to $200 million of our common stock over a term of four years (the "2022 Repurchase Program"). Under this program, we repurchased 82,233 shares of our common stock at an average price of $48.64 per share, for a total cost of $4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and 824,855 shares of our common stock at an average price of $35.16 per share, for a total cost of $29 million in fiscal 2026 year-to-date. As of May 2, 2026, we had $109 million remaining authorized under the 2022 Repurchase Program. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we continued to repurchase shares of our common stock, bringing total repurchases through the date of this filing to 990,026 at an average price of $37.88 per share, for a total cost of $38 million.

We will manage the timing of any repurchases of our common stock in response to market conditions and other relevant factors, including any limitations on our ability to make repurchases under the terms of our ABL Credit Facility, Term Loan Facility and Senior Notes. We may implement the 2022 Repurchase Program pursuant to a plan or plans meeting the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

There were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to the description of critical accounting estimates included in Item 7 of our Annual Report.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7a4f88fb53894c33a7bcda00ada1d5b5_7)</u>

**Seasonality**

Overall product sales are fairly balanced throughout the year, although demand for certain products of a seasonal nature may be influenced by holidays, changes in seasons or other annual events. Our working capital needs are generally greater during the months of and leading up to high sales periods, such as the buildup in inventory leading to the calendar year-end holidays. Our inventory, accounts payable and accounts receivable levels may be impacted by macroeconomic impacts and changes in food-at-home purchasing rates. These effects can result in normal operating fluctuations in working capital balances, which in turn can result in changes to cash flow from operations that are not necessarily indicative of long-term operating trends.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

Our exposure to market risk results primarily from fluctuations in interest rates on our borrowings and our interest rate swap agreements, and price increases in diesel fuel. Except as described in Note 8—Derivatives and Note 9—Long-Term Debt in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated herein, there have been no other material changes to our exposure to market risks from those disclosed in our Annual Report.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.* We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Changes in internal controls.* There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2026 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

From time to time, we are involved in routine litigation or other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including investigations and claims regarding employment law including wage and hour, pension plans, unfair labor practices, labor union disputes, supplier, customer and service provider contract terms, product liability, real estate and antitrust. Other than as set forth in Note 15—Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which our property is subject.

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

On September 21, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the 2022 Repurchase Program for up to $200 million of our common stock over a term of four years. Any repurchases are intended to be made in accordance with applicable securities laws from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. With respect to open market purchases, we may use a plan or plans meeting the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which allows us to repurchase shares during periods when we otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed blackout periods. We manage the timing of any repurchases in response to market conditions and other relevant factors, including any limitations on our ability to make repurchases under the terms of our ABL Credit Facility, Term Loan Facility and Senior Notes.

for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (in each case, the "<u>LCA Test Date</u>") and if, after such ratios and other provisions are measured on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the other Specified Transactions to be entered into in connection therewith and the use of proceeds thereof as if they occurred at the beginning of the four consecutive fiscal quarter period being used to calculate such financial ratio ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrowers could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratios and provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with.

Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of U.S.$5,000,000, or an increment of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Certifications</u>. In connection with any reduction in the Aggregate Commitments, U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments, in all cases, prior to the Termination Date, if any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries owns any Margin Stock, Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent an updated Form U-1 (with sufficient additional originals thereof for each Lender), duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers, together with such other documentation as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, in order to enable Administrative Agent and the Lenders to comply with any of the requirements under Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.5. <u>Overadvances</u>. If the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings exceed the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base ("<u>U.S. Revolver Overadvance</u>") at any time, the excess amount of such U.S. Revolver Loans shall be payable (and, thereafter, LC Obligations, cash collateralized) by U.S. Borrowers in U.S. Dollars on demand by Administrative Agent, but all such U.S. Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. If the Total Canadian Outstandings exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base ("<u>Canadian Overadvance</u>") at any time, the excess amount of such Canadian Loans shall be payable (and, thereafter, Canadian LC Obligations, cash collateralized) by the Canadian Borrower in Canadian Dollars on demand by Administrative Agent, but all such Canadian Loans shall nevertheless constitute Canadian Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may require the Revolver Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the applicable Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when the Borrowers have not notified Administrative Agent that any other Event of Default then exists, as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than thirty (30)

13317859v14

consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required), and (ii) the Overadvance is not known by the Administrative Agent to exceed (A) if a U.S. Revolver Overadvance, 10% of the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base (without giving effect to the FILO Pushdown Reserve), and (B) if a Canadian Overadvance, 10% of the Canadian Borrowing Base; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if the Administrative Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist (an "<u>Unintentional Overadvance</u>"), if (i)(A) with respect to a U.S. Revolver Overadvance, the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of the Unintentional Overadvance under the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base and (y) the amount of the request for a Overadvance does not exceed 10% of the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base (without giving effect to the FILO Pushdown Reserve), and (B) with respect to a Canadian Overadvance, the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of the Unintentional Overadvance under the Canadian Borrowing Base and (y) the amount of the request for a Overadvance does not exceed 10% of the Canadian Borrowing Base, and (ii) such Overadvance does not continue for more than thirty (30) consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause (1) the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings to exceed the Aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments, or (2) the Total Canadian Outstandings to exceed the Aggregate Canadian Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of a U.S. Revolver Overadvance or Canadian Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or Applicable Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Obligor be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms. Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent's authority to make further Overadvance Loans by written notice to Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.6. <u>Protective Advances</u>. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, at any time that any conditions in <u>Section 6</u> are not satisfied, to make U.S. Revolver Loans as U.S. Base Rate Loans ("<u>Protective Advances</u>"), (i) up to an aggregate amount not to exceed 7.50% of the Combined Borrowing Base at the time such U.S. Revolver Loans are made, if the Administrative Agent deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to enhance the collectibility or repayment of Obligations, as long as such Loans do not cause the Total Outstandings to exceed the Aggregate Commitments; or (ii) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Obligors under any Loan Documents, including interest, costs, fees and expenses. Each U.S. Revolver Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance made to the Borrowers on a Pro Rata basis. Required Lenders may at any time revoke Administrative Agent's authority to make further Protective Advances under clause (i) by written notice to Administrative Agent. Absent such revocation, the Administrative Agent's determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.7. <u>Increase in U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments</u>.

13317859v14

------

U.S. Revolver Commitments), such increase shall not exceed the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of $100,000,000, (d) no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of any such increase, and (e) if such increase is in the form of a FILO Tranche, the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and Required Lenders shall have entered into an amendment to this Agreement in accordance with **clause (b)** below. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Applicable Lenders of the requested increase and, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its discretion), each Applicable Lender shall notify Administrative Agent if and to what extent such Lender commits to increase its U.S. Revolver Commitment and/or Canadian Commitment, as the case may be. Any Lender not responding within such period shall be deemed to have declined an increase. If Lenders fail to commit to the full requested increase, Eligible Assignees may issue additional U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments and become Lenders hereunder upon entering into joinder documentation reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may allocate, in its discretion, the increased U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments among committing Applicable Lenders and, if necessary, Eligible Assignees. Provided the conditions set forth in <u>Section 6.2</u> are satisfied, total U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments shall be increased by the requested amount (or such lesser amount committed by Applicable Lenders and Eligible Assignees) on a date agreed upon by Administrative Agent and UNFI, but no later than forty-five (45) days following Borrowers' increase request. Administrative Agent, Borrowers, and new and existing Applicable Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements (including legal opinions) as Administrative Agent deems appropriate to evidence or in connection with the increase in and allocations of U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments. On the effective date of an increase, (i) all outstanding applicable Loans, applicable LC Obligations and other exposures under the U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments shall be reallocated among Applicable Lenders, and settled by the Administrative Agent if necessary, in accordance with Applicable Lenders' adjusted shares of such U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments and (ii) Borrowers shall pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with such increase (including any breakage costs).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>FILO Tranche</u>. Any increases to the U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments may be in the form of a separate "first-in, last-out" or "last-out" tranche (which may take the form of a term loan borrowing) (the "<u>FILO Tranche</u>") with, among other terms, interest rate margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts and original issue discounts, in each case to be agreed upon (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require any adjustment to the Applicable Margin for other Loans) among the Borrowers, Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing the FILO Tranche so long as (a) any Loans and related Obligations in respect of the FILO Tranche are not to be guaranteed by any Person other than the Guarantors and are not secured by any assets other than Collateral; (b) as between (x) the Loans (other than the FILO Tranche) and (y) the FILO Tranche, all proceeds from the liquidation or other realization of the Collateral (including ABL Priority Collateral) or application of funds in accordance with <u>Section 5.6.2</u> shall be applied, first to obligations owing under, or with respect to, the Loans (other than the FILO Tranche) and any Obligations owing to those Persons providing such Loans with respect thereto (other than the FILO Tranche), and, second, to the FILO Tranche and any Obligations owing to those Persons providing the FILO Tranche with respect thereto; (c) the Borrowers may not prepay Loans under the FILO Tranche or terminate or reduce the commitments in respect thereof at any time that other Loans (including Swing Line Loans) and/or other accrued and unpaid Obligations (unless cash collateralized or

13317859v14

------

By submitting a request to Issuing Bank for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that (i) Issuing Bank issue the requested Letter of Credit or (ii) in the case of Canadian Letter of Credit, that the Issuing Bank cause Canadian Underlying Issuer to issue the requested Letter of Credit (and, in such case, to have requested the Issuing Bank to issue a Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking to the Canadian Underlying Issuer with respect to such requested Letter of Credit). Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be (i) irrevocable and made in writing by an Authorized Person, (ii) delivered to Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank via telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank and reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, or extension, and (iii) subject to Issuing Bank's authentication procedures with results satisfactory to Issuing Bank.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Issuing Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit that supports the obligations of an Obligor or one of its Subsidiaries in respect of (x) a lease of real property, or (y) an employment contract. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Capital One, National Association, shall only be required to issue standby Letters of Credit.

Additionally, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue or extend a Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking if (A) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking, or any law applicable to Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer shall prohibit or request that Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking in particular, or (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking would violate one or more policies of Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer, applicable to letters of credit generally, or any Applicable Laws, or (C) if amounts demanded to be paid under any Letter of Credit will not or may not be in United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Any Issuing Bank (other than Wells Fargo or any of its Affiliates) shall notify Administrative Agent in writing no later than the Business Day prior to the Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues any Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking.

The Borrowers and the Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Letters of Credit under this Agreement on and after the Effective Date with the same effect as if such Existing Letter of Credit were issued by Issuing Bank at the request of Borrowers on the Effective Date. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable. If Issuing Bank makes a payment under a Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the Business Day such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a U.S. Revolver Loan or Canadian Loan, as applicable, hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in <u>Section 3</u>) and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to U.S. Revolver Loans or Canadian Loans, as applicable, that are Base Rate Loans. If a Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be a U.S. Revolver Loan or Canadian Loan, as applicable, hereunder, Borrowers' obligation to pay the amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement to Issuing Bank shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay the resulting U.S. Revolver Loan or Canadian Loan, as applicable.

By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit) and without any further action on the part of Issuing Bank, the U.S. Revolver Lenders or Canadian Lenders, Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each U.S. Revolver Lender, and each U.S. Revolver Lender and Canadian Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking issued by Issuing Bank, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit, Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking and each such U.S. Revolver Lender and Canadian Lender agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, such U.S. Revolver Lender's and Canadian Lender's Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each U.S. Revolver Lender and Canadian Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, such U.S. Revolver Lender's and Canadian Lender's Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in <u>Section 2.3.1(d)</u>, or of any reimbursement payment that is required to be refunded (or that Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to Borrowers for any reason. Each U.S. Revolver Lender and Canadian Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this <u>Section 2.3(e)</u> shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in <u>Section 3</u>. If any such U.S. Revolver Lender or Canadian Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such U.S. Revolver Lender's and Canadian Lender's Pro Rata Share of a Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such U.S. Revolver Lender and Canadian Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent (for the account of Issuing Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such U.S. Revolver Lender and Canadian Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Each Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the Secured Parties (including Issuing Bank, Canadian Underlying Issuer and their respective branches, Affiliates, and correspondents) and each such Person's respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, including Issuing Bank and Canadian Underlying Issuer, a "Letter of Credit Related Person") (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)The liability of Issuing Bank (or any other Letter of Credit Related Person) under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by Borrowers that are caused directly by Issuing Bank's or Canadian Underlying Issuer's gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit. Borrowers' aggregate remedies against Issuing Bank and any Letter of Credit Related Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by Borrowers to Issuing Bank in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such Letter of Credit under <u>Section 2.3.1(d)</u>, plus interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. Borrowers shall take action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against Issuing Bank or any other Letter of Credit Related Person, including by enforcing its rights against the beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit. Any claim by Borrowers under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount (if any) saved by Borrowers as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct complained of, and (y) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had Borrowers taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, and in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer to effect a cure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)Borrowers are responsible for the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer, irrespective of any assistance Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by

Issuing Bank's or Canadian Underlying Issuer's use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrowers. Borrowers understand that the final form of any Letter of Credit may be subject to such revisions and changes as are deemed necessary or appropriate by Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer, and Borrowers hereby consent to such revisions and changes not materially different from the application executed in connection therewith. Borrowers are solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for Borrowers' purposes. If Borrowers request Issuing Bank to issue a Letter of Credit for an affiliated or unaffiliated third party (an "Account Party"), (i) such Account Party shall have no rights against Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer; (ii) Borrowers shall be responsible for the application and obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) communications (including notices) related to the respective Letter of Credit shall be among Issuing Bank, Canadian Underlying Issuer (if applicable) and Borrowers. Borrowers will examine the copy of the Letter of Credit and any other documents sent by Issuing Bank in connection therewith and shall promptly notify Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer, as applicable, (not later than three (3) Business Days following Borrowers' receipt of documents from Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer) of any non-compliance with Borrowers' instructions and of any discrepancy in any document under any presentment or other irregularity. Borrowers understand and agree that Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer is not required to extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit for any reason. With respect to any Letter of Credit containing an "automatic amendment" to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank or Canadian Underlying Issuer in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of non-extension of such Letter of Credit and, if Borrowers do not at any time want the then current expiration date of such Letter of Credit to be extended, Borrowers will so notify Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Canadian Underlying Issuer at least thirty (30) calendar days before Issuing Bank and Canadian Underlying Issuer is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such non-extension pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit.

Bank, without notice to Borrowers, to execute and deliver ancillary documents and letters customary in the letter of credit business that may include but are not limited to advisements, indemnities, checks, bills of exchange and issuance documents.

To the extent requested by UNFI, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly appoint a replacement Issuing Bank, which, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers.

Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Administrative Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is fair and reasonable compensation for this.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Interest accrued on any Loan shall be due and payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of such Loan being prepaid, and (iii) on the Commitment Termination Date.

Thereafter, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing of Applicable Floating Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans to, or to continue any Borrowing of Applicable Offered Rate Loans at the end of its Interest Period as, a Borrowing of Applicable Offered Rate Loans of the same Class and in the same currency (and, in the case of a Borrowing of Applicable Offered Rate Loans, may elect Interest Periods therefor), all as provided in this Section and in <u>Section 3.6</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)To make an interest rate election pursuant to this Section, the relevant Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by written submission by an Authorized Person through the Administrative Agent's electronic platform or portal (or in the case of any Applicable Offered Rate Loan, by delivery of a Applicable Offered Rate Notice in accordance with <u>Section 3.6</u>) by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under <u>Section 4.1.1</u> if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans, UNFI shall have failed to deliver an Applicable Offered Rate Notice with respect to such Borrowing, UNFI shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans. If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Term CORRA Rate Loans, the Canadian Borrower shall have failed to deliver an Applicable Offered Rate Notice with respect to such Borrowing, the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of Canadian Base Rate Loans.

From and after the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of U.S. Revolver Lenders, a fee equal to the Unused Line Fee Rate times the amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the average daily Total Outstandings during any Fiscal Quarter. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each calendar quarter after the Closing Date and on the Commitment Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans made to the Borrowers shall not be counted toward or considered usage of the Aggregate Commitments for purposes of determining the unused line fee.

The applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall pay (a) to the Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of the Applicable Lenders, a Letter of Credit fee (the "<u>Letter of Credit Fee</u>") equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for Applicable Offered Rate Loans times the average daily amount available to be drawn under Letters of Credit issued for the account or benefit of such Borrower or Borrowers, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred. During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Obligor, or during any other Event of Default if either Administrative Agent or Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, the fee payable under this <u>Section 3.2.2</u> shall, subject to the Interest Act (Canada), be increased by 2% per annum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.1. All computations of interest for SOFR Loans, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (a) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the "deemed year") that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation (365 or 366) and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (b) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (c) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. Each determination by Administrative Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under <u>Section 3.2</u> are compensation for services and are not

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3.2. EACH OF THE OBLIGORS CONFIRMS THAT IT FULLY UNDERSTANDS AND IS ABLE TO CALCULATE THE RATE OF INTEREST APPLICABLE TO EACH OF THE LOANS BASED ON THE METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING PER ANNUM RATES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT. Administrative Agent agrees that if requested in writing by UNFI, it will calculate the nominal and effective per annum rate of interest on any Loan outstanding at the time of such request and provide such information to UNFI promptly following such request; <u>provided</u> that any error in any such calculation, or any failure to provide such information on request, shall not relieve the Borrowers or any other Obligors of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor result in any liability to the Administrative Agent or any Lender. EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR ASSERT, WHETHER BY WAY OF DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE, IN ANY PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THAT THE INTEREST PAYABLE UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE CALCULATION THEREOF HAS NOT BEEN ADEQUATELY DISCLOSED TO THE OBLIGORS WHETHER PURSUANT TO SECTION 4 OF THE INTEREST ACT (CANADA) OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW OR LEGAL PRINCIPLE.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.4<u>Reimbursement Obligations</u>**. Borrowers shall reimburse Administrative Agent and Lenders for all Extraordinary Expenses.

Legal, accounting and consulting fees may be charged to Borrowers by Administrative Agent's professionals at their usual and customary hourly rates for similar services, regardless of any reduced or alternative fee billing arrangements that Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates may have with such professionals with respect to this or any other transaction. Borrowers acknowledge that counsel may provide the Administrative Agent with a benefit, such as a discount, credit or other accommodation, based on counsel's overall relationship with the Administrative Agent, including fees paid hereunder. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting on financial statements or a Compliance Certificate), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of the Applicable Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this <u>Section 3.4</u> shall be due within thirty (30) days of written demand therefor. Each Obligor's obligations under this <u>Section 3.4</u> shall survive the termination of the U.S. Revolver Commitments, the Canadian Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction, discharge or Full Payment of any Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.5<u>Illegality</u>**. If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder to make, maintain, fund or charge applicable interest or fees with respect to any Loans or Letters of Credit, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any Applicable Offered Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars in the London interbank market, any other relevant interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to perform such obligations to make, maintain or fund such Loans or participate in such Letters of Credit (or to charge interest or fees with respect thereto), or to continue Applicable Offered Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Loans based on the Applicable Offered Rate shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrowers shall prepay the applicable Loans, Cash Collateralize the applicable LC Obligations or, convert all Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Base Rate Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)**Interest and Interest Payment Dates**. In lieu of having Loans accrue interest as Applicable Floating Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans (as the case may be), Borrowers shall have the option (the "<u>Applicable Offered Rate Option</u>"), subject to <u>Section 3.6(b)</u>, to have interest on all or a portion of the Applicable Offered Rate Loans be charged (whether at the time when made (unless otherwise provided herein), upon (x) conversion from an Applicable Floating Rate Loan or a Daily Simple SOFR Loan to an Applicable Offered Rate Loan of the same Class or (y) continuation of an Applicable Offered Rate Loan as an Applicable Offered Rate Loan of the same Class at a rate of interest based upon the Applicable Offered Rate. Interest on Applicable Offered Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.

Notice of Borrowers' election of the Applicable Offered Rate Option for a permitted portion of the Loans and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Administrative Agent of an Applicable Offered Rate Notice received by Administrative Agent before the Applicable Offered Rate Deadline, which Applicable Offered Rate Notice shall specify (1) the Loans to be converted or continued, and the last day of the Interest Period thereto, (2) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (3) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued and (4) the Interest Period applicable to such converted or continued Applicable Offered Rate Loans. If the Borrowers request a conversion to, or continuation of, Applicable Offered Rate Loans, but fail to specify an Interest Period, they will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Promptly upon its receipt of each such Applicable Offered Notice, Administrative Agent shall provide a notice thereof to each of the affected Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Applicable Offered Rate Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrowers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)A certificate of Administrative Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrowers setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that Administrative Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this <u>Section 3.6</u> shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such amount to Administrative Agent or the Lender, as applicable, within thirty (30) days of the date of its receipt of such certificate. If a payment of an Applicable Offered Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period would result in a Funding Loss, Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion at the request of Borrowers, hold the amount of such payment as cash collateral in support of the Obligations until the last day of such Interest Period and apply such amounts to the payment of the Applicable Offered Rate Loan on such last day of such Interest Period, it being agreed that Administrative Agent has no obligation to so defer the application of payments to any Applicable Offered Rate Loan and that, in the event that Administrative Agent does not defer such application, Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any resulting Funding Losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Borrowers may only exercise the Applicable Offered Rate Option for proposed Applicable Offered Rate Loans in tranches of at <u>least</u> $1,000,000.

In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrowers and Administrative Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrowers may, by notice to such affected Lender (A) require such Lender to furnish to Borrowers a

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, with respect to any Benchmark, Administrative Agent and UNFI may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) Business Day after Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and UNFI so long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this <u>Section 3.6(d)(iii)</u> will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)**Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes**. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)**Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations**.

Administrative Agent will notify UNFI of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to <u>Section 3.6(d)(iii)(D)</u> and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this <u>Section 3.6(d)(iii)</u>, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or

any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this <u>Section 3.6(d)(iii)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D)**Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (1) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate and Term CORRA Reference Rate) and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (2) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (1) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E)**Benchmark Unavailability Period**. Upon UNFI's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (1) UNFI may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any affected SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, UNFI will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans of the same Class and in the same currency and (2) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted to applicable Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans, immediately). During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon such Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the applicable Base Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.7<u>No Requirement of Matched Funding</u>**. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Administrative Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on, or with reference to, Daily Simple SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, the Term CORRA Reference Rate or Term CORRA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.8.1. <u>Increased Costs Generally</u>. If any Change in Law shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)subject any Recipient to Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit, U.S. Revolver Commitment, Canadian Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of Credit, participation in LC Obligations, or U.S. Revolver Commitment or Canadian Commitment;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan, U.S. Revolver Commitment, Canadian Commitment or FILO Commitment, or converting to or continuing any interest option for a Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower or Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.8.2. <u>Capital Requirements</u>. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's, such Issuing Bank's or such holding company's capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian Commitments, FILO Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations, to a level below that which such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's, such Issuing Bank's and such holding company's policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower or Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.8.3. Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the Lender or the Issuing Bank notifies UNFI or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Each Obligor's

obligations under this <u>Section 3.8</u> shall survive the termination of the U.S. Revolver Commitments, the Canadian Commitments, the FILO Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction, discharge or Full Payment of any Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.9<u>Mitigation</u>**. If any Lender gives a notice under <u>Section 3.5</u> or requests compensation under <u>Section 3.7</u>, or if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts with respect to a Lender under <u>Section 5.9</u>, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to it or unlawful. Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Each Obligor's obligations under this <u>Section 3.9</u> shall survive the termination of the U.S. Revolver Commitments, the Canadian Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction, discharge or Full Payment of any Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.10[<u>Reserved</u>]**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.11<u>Maximum Interest</u>**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law ("<u>maximum rate</u>"). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. In addition to the foregoing, if any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrower or any other Obligor to make any payment of "interest" (as defined in Section 347 (the "<u>Criminal Code Section</u>") of the Criminal Code (Canada)) or other amount payable to any Canadian Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would exceed the effective annual rate of interest lawfully permitted under the Criminal Code Section on the "credit advanced" (as defined in the Criminal Code Section) or would otherwise be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by such Canadian Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are defined in the Criminal Code Section) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Canadian Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Canadian Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Canadian Lender which would constitute "interest" for purposes of the Criminal Code Section. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with GAAP as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of "interest" under the Criminal Code Section shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, for the purposes of such determination.

**SECTION 4.LOAN ADMINISTRATION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.1<u>Manner of Borrowing and Funding Loans</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.1. <u>Notice of Borrowing</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Whenever (x) U.S. Borrowers desire funding of a Borrowing of U.S. Revolver Loans, UNFI shall give Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing, and (y) the Canadian Borrower desires funding of a Borrowing of Canadian Loans, the Canadian Borrower shall give Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Such Notice of Borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day of the requested funding in the case of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, and (ii) no later than 1:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or, in the case of a SOFR Loan, two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days) prior to the requested funding date, in the case of Applicable Offered Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans (as applicable). Any Notice of Borrowing received after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day (or, in the case of a SOFR Loan, the next U.S. Government Securities Business Day); <u>provided</u> that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to accept as timely any Notice of Borrowing that is received later than such time. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount and currency of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day, or, in the case of a SOFR Loan, a U.S. Government Securities Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as Base Rate Loans, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Applicable Offered Rate Loans, and (D) in the case of any Applicable Offered Rate Loans, the duration of the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one month if not specified).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses and LC Obligations, but excluding Cash Collateral, Secured Bank Product Obligations and the principal amount of any FILO Loans) shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans (which are Revolver Loans) on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation. In addition, the Administrative Agent may, at its option, charge such Obligations against any operating, investment or other account of the Borrowers maintained with Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If any Borrower maintains any disbursement account with Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of Administrative Agent, then presentation for payment of any Payment Item when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for a Revolver Loan that is a U.S. Base Rate Loan, in the case of the U.S. Borrowers, or a Canadian Base Rate Loan, in the case of the Canadian Borrower, on the date of such presentation, in the amount of the Payment Item. The proceeds of such Loan may be disbursed directly to the disbursement account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)[Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.2. <u>Fundings by Lenders</u>. Each Applicable Lender shall timely honor its U.S. Revolver Commitment, Canadian Commitment or FILO Commitment, as the case may be, by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Loans that is properly requested hereunder. Except for Borrowings to be made as Swingline Loans, the Administrative Agent shall endeavor to notify the Applicable Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 2:00 p.m. on the proposed funding date for Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans or by 3:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or, in the case of a Term SOFR Loan, two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days) before any proposed funding of Applicable Offered Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans (as applicable). Each Applicable Lender shall fund to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Pro Rata share of the applicable Borrowing to the account specified by the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds not later than 4:00 p.m. on the requested funding date, unless, in the case of Revolver Loans, the Administrative Agent's notice is received by the Applicable Lender after the times provided above, in which case, the Applicable Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share of any such Revolver Loans by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day (or, in the case of a SOFR Loan, the next U.S. Government Securities Business Day). Subject to its receipt of such amounts from the Applicable Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Loans as directed by UNFI or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to 9:30 a.m. that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with the Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to the applicable Borrower. If a Lender's share of any Borrowing or of any settlement pursuant to <u>Section 4.1.3(b)</u> is not received by the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers agree to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the Defaulting Lender Rate. Subject to <u>Section 3.8</u>, a Lender or Issuing Bank may fulfill its obligations under Loan Documents through one or more Lending Offices, and this shall not affect any obligation of Obligors under the Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.3. <u>Swingline Loans; Settlement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, on any Business Day from and after the Closing until the Business Day prior to the Termination Date, (i) the U.S. Swingline Lender shall advance Swingline Loans to the U.S. Borrowers up to an aggregate outstanding amount equal to U.S.$240,000,000 (and notwithstanding the fact that such Swingline Loans, when aggregated with the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings of such Person in its separate capacity as a U.S. Revolver Lender, may exceed the amount of the U.S. Revolver Commitment of the U.S. Swingline Lender); provided that, (x) after giving effect to any such Swingline Loan, the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings at such time (including the requested Swingline Loan) would not exceed the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base and (y) subject to the immediately preceding parenthetical, the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings and other exposure with respect to the U.S. Revolver Commitments (including its Pro Rata purchase of participations in Swingline Loans made by the U.S. Swingline Lender) of any U.S. Revolver Lender shall not exceed its U.S. Revolver Commitment and (ii) the Canadian Swingline Lender shall advance Swingline Loans to the Canadian Borrower up to an aggregate outstanding amount equal to U.S.$25,000,000 (and notwithstanding the fact that such Swingline Loans, when aggregated with the Total Canadian Outstandings of the Canadian Swingline Lender, may exceed the amount of the Canadian Commitment of such Person in its separate capacity as a Canadian Lender), unless, in either case, the funding is specifically required to be made by the Canadian Lenders hereunder; provided that (x) after giving effect to any such Swingline Loan, the

Total Canadian Outstandings at such time (including the requested Swingline Loan) would not exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base and (y) subject to the immediately preceding parenthetical, the Total Canadian Outstandings and other exposure with respect to the Canadian Commitments (including its Pro Rata purchase of participations in Swingline Loans made by the Canadian Swingline Lender) of any Canadian Lender shall not exceed its Canadian Commitment; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) after giving effect to any Swingline Loan the aggregate outstanding amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed U.S.$240,000,000 at any time, (ii) no Borrower shall use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan and (iii) no Swingline Lender shall be under any obligation to make any Swingline Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that there is, or after making such Swingline Loan there may be, Fronting Exposure. All Swingline Loan requests which are not made on-line via Administrative Agent's electronic platform or portal shall be subject to (and unless Administrative Agent elects otherwise in the exercise of its sole discretion, such Borrowings shall not be made until the completion of) Administrative Agent's authentication process (with results satisfactory to Administrative Agent) prior to the funding of any such requested Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Swingline Loan to the U.S. Borrowers shall constitute a U.S. Revolver Loan which is a Daily Simple SOFR Loan and each Swingline Loan to the Canadian Borrower shall constitute a Canadian Base Rate Loan for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to the U.S. Swingline Lender or Canadian Swingline Lender, as applicable, for its own account until Lenders have funded their participations therein as provided below. The obligation of Borrowers to repay Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of the applicable Swingline Lender and need not be evidenced by any promissory note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Settlement among the Applicable Lenders (excluding the FILO Lenders) and the applicable Swingline Lender with respect to Swingline Loans and other Loans shall take place on a date determined from time to time by such Swingline Lender (but at least weekly), on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by the applicable Swingline Lender to such Applicable Lenders. Between settlement dates, the applicable Swingline Lender may in its discretion, if it is the Administrative Agent, apply payments on Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by any Borrower or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Revolver Lender hereby purchases, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata participation in all Swingline Loans outstanding from time to time until settled. If a Swingline Loan cannot be settled among Revolver Lenders, whether due to an Obligor's Insolvency Proceeding or for any other reason, each Revolver Lender shall pay the amount of its participation in the Loan to the applicable Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, within one (1) Business Day after the applicable Swingline Lender's request therefor. Lenders' obligations to make settlements and to fund participations are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments, as the case may be, have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in <u>Section 6</u> are satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each Borrowing of Swingline Loans shall be made upon the applicable U.S. Borrower's or Canadian Borrower's irrevocable notice to the U.S. Swingline Lender or Canadian Swingline Lender, as applicable, in each case with a copy to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Persons in the preceding sentence not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested

borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 (and any amount in excess thereof shall be an integral multiple of $25,000), and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the U.S. Swingline Lender or Canadian Swingline Lender, as applicable, of a written Notice of Borrowing. Promptly after receipt by the U.S. Swingline Lender or Canadian Swingline Lender, as applicable, of any telephonic notice of Borrowing of Swingline Loans, the U.S. Swingline Lender or Canadian Swingline Lender, as applicable, may, provided that, so long as the Swing Line Lender has not received notice from the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Revolver Lenders prior to 2:00 p.m. that any of the applicable conditions in this <u>Section 4.1.3</u> or <u>Section 6.3</u> have not been satisfied or waived in accordance with terms hereof, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such notice, make the amount of its Swingline Loans available to the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Any Swingline Lender may resign at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower or Borrowers. On and after the effective date of such resignation, such Swingline Lender shall have no obligation to make Swingline Loans, but shall continue to have all rights and other obligations of a Swingline Lender hereunder relating to any Swingline Loan issued by such Swingline Lender prior to such date. To the extent requested by UNFI, the applicable resigning Swingline Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly appoint a replacement Swingline Lender which, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.4. <u>Liability for Notices</u>. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of Administrative Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by Administrative Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Borrower's behalf.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.2<u>Defaulting Lender</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.1. <u>Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments</u>. For purposes of determining Lenders' obligations or rights to fund, participate in or receive collections with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit (including existing Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and LC Obligations), Administrative Agent may exclude the U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian Commitments, FILO Commitments and Loans of a Defaulting Lender from the calculation of Pro Rata shares, it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any such calculation relating to a Non-Defaulting Lender's obligations to fund and participate in respect of Loans and Letters of Credit shall not cause (a) the U.S. Revolver Loans and participation in U.S. LC Obligations of any such Non-Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Revolver Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender's U.S. Revolver Commitment, (b) the Canadian Loans and participation in Canadian LC Obligations of any such Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Canadian Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender's Canadian Commitment or (c) the FILO Loans of any such Non-Defaulting Lender that is a FILO Lender to exceed such FILO Lender's FILO Commitment. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in <u>Section 14.1.1(c)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.2. <u>Payments; Fees</u>. Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to Administrative Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to Administrative Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. Administrative Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender's defaulted obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender's Fronting Exposure, or readvance the amounts to Borrowers hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its U.S. Revolver Commitment and/or Canadian Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under <u>Section 3.2.1</u>. To the extent any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, Letter of Credit Fees attributable to such LC Obligations under <u>Section 3.2.2</u> shall be paid to such other Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be paid all Letter of Credit Fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not so reallocated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.3. <u>Reallocation of Pro Rata Shares to Reduce Fronting Exposure</u>. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender's participation in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders (excluding the FILO Lenders) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender's U.S. Revolver Commitment and/or Canadian Commitment, as applicable) but only to the extent that (a) the conditions set forth in <u>Section 6.2</u> are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless UNFI shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (b) such reallocation does not cause (i) the U.S. Revolver Loans and participation in U.S. LC Obligations of any Non-Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Revolver Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender's U.S. Revolver Commitment, or (ii) the Canadian Loans and participation in Canadian LC Obligations of any Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Canadian Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender's Canadian Commitment. Subject to <u>Section 14.20</u>, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.4. <u>Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans</u>. If the reallocation described in <u>Section 4.2.3</u> above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, subject to <u>Section 4.5</u>, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under Applicable Law, (a) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Fronting Exposure of the Lenders holding Swingline Loans and (b) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks' Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in <u>Section 2.3.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2.5. Status; Cure. The Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion that a Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender and the effective date of such status shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, absent manifest error. Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any Revolver Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, whereupon Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of the reinstated Lender's U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian Commitments, FILO Commitments and Loans, and all outstanding Loans, LC Obligations and other exposures under the U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian Commitments and FILO Commitments shall be reallocated among the Applicable Lenders and settled by the Administrative Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender, including payment of any breakage costs for reallocated SOFR Loans) in accordance with the readjusted respective Pro Rata shares. Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, no reallocation of Commitments and

13317859v14

------

Loans to non-Defaulting Lenders and no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Defaulting Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.3<u>Number and Amount of Applicable Offered Rate Loans; Determination of Rate</u>**. Each Borrowing of Applicable Offered Rate Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of U.S.$1,000,000 or CD$1,000,000, as applicable, <u>plus</u> any increment of U.S.$1,000,000 or CD$1,000,000 in excess thereof. No more than sixteen (16) Borrowings of Applicable Offered Rate Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all Applicable Offered Rate Loans of the same Class having the same Borrower, length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose. Upon determining Term SOFR or the Term CORRA, as the case may be, for any Interest Period requested by U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower or Borrowers thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by such Borrower or Borrowers, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.4<u>Borrower Agent</u>**. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby designates UNFI as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base Certificates and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. UNFI hereby accepts such appointment. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by UNFI on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor. Administrative Agent and Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower or Guarantor hereunder to UNFI on behalf of such Borrower or Guarantor. Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Lender shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with UNFI for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower and Guarantor agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by UNFI shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.5<u>One Obligation; Limitation on Obligations of Canadian Borrower</u>.** The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations constitute one general obligation of U.S. Borrowers and are secured by the Administrative Agent's Lien on all Collateral; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower. The Canadian Loans, Canadian LC Obligations and other Canadian Obligations constitute one general obligation of the Canadian Borrower and are secured by the Administrative Agent's Lien on all Collateral owned by the Canadian Obligors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Canadian Obligors shall not at any time be liable, directly or indirectly, for any portion of the Obligations other than the Canadian Obligations and the obligations secured by the Canadian Security Documents shall not include any portion of the Obligations other than the Canadian Obligations.

**SECTION 5.PAYMENTS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1<u>General Payment Provisions</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1.1. Except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, all payments of Obligations shall be made in U.S. Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law, and in immediately available funds, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the due date. If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Applicable Lenders to which such payment is owed, in Canadian Dollars in immediately available funds, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any law from making any required payment hereunder in Canadian Dollars, such Borrower shall make such payment in U.S. Dollars in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Dollar payment amount. Any payment of an Applicable Offered Rate Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under <u>Section 3.9</u>. Any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Applicable Floating Rate Loans and then to Applicable Offered Rate Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2<u>Repayment of Loans</u>**. Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date, unless payment is sooner as required hereunder (including upon the earlier occurrence of the Commitment Termination Date); it being acknowledged and agreed that all Obligations shall become and be immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of the Commitment Termination Date for any reason whatsoever without notice or demand. The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; <u>provided</u> that no FILO Loans may be prepaid at any time that any Obligations (other than FILO Obligations) or Aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments or Aggregate Canadian Commitments remain outstanding unless consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (as determined without inclusion of the FILO Lenders); and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that (1) any prepayment of Applicable Offered Rate Loans (including FILO Loans to the extent permitted) or Daily Simple SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding and (2) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans (including FILO Loans to the extent permitted) shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and whether Applicable Offered Rate Loans, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans are to be prepaid; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement but subject to <u>Section 3.9</u>, the Borrowers may rescind any notice of prepayment under this <u>Section 5.2</u> if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of this credit facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a U.S. Revolver Overadvance or a Canadian Overadvance exists, U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, shall, on the sooner of the Administrative Agent's demand or the first Business Day after any U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding applicable Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings or the Total Canadian Outstandings, as the case may be, to the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base or the Canadian Borrowing Base, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.3<u>Rescindable Amounts</u>**. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or other Secured Parties hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the "<u>Rescindable Amount</u>"): (1) the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrowers (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders and other Secured Parties severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or other Secured Party, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or other Secured Party or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this <u>Section 5.3</u> shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.4<u>Payment of Other Obligations</u>.** Obligations other than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers (subject to <u>Section 4.5</u>) as provided in the Loan Documents, or, if no payment date is specified, **on demand** made to the applicable Borrowers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.5<u>Marshaling; Payments Set Aside</u>.** None of Administrative Agent, Lenders or other Secured Parties shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Secured Party or Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or other Secured Party exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender or such other Secured Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, interim receiver, receiver manager or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.6<u>Application and Allocation of Payments</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6.1. <u>Application</u>. Payments made by Borrowers hereunder shall be applied (a) <u>first</u>, as specifically required hereby; (b) <u>second</u>, to Obligations then due and owing; (c) <u>third</u>, to other Obligations specified by Borrowers; and (d) <u>fourth</u>, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion; <u>provided</u> that notwithstanding anything set forth in clause (b)-(d) immediately above, no FILO Loans may be paid or prepaid at any time that any Obligations (other than FILO Obligations) or Aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments or Aggregate Canadian Commitments remain outstanding unless consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (as determined without inclusion of the FILO Lenders).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6.2. <u>Post-Default Allocation</u>. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Obligors, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated, subject to <u>Section 4.5</u>, as follows, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>first</u>, to all fees, indemnification, costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Administrative Agent;

Amounts shall be applied to payment of each category of Obligations only after Full Payment of amounts payable from time to time under all preceding categories. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be paid ratably among outstanding Obligations in the category. Monies and proceeds obtained from an Obligor shall not be applied to its Excluded Swap Obligations, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to amounts obtained from other Obligors to preserve the allocations in any applicable category. Amounts distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations shall be the lesser of (i) the maximum Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations, as the case may be, last reported to the Administrative Agent, if applicable, and (ii) the actual Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations, as the case may be, as calculated by the methodology reported to the Administrative Agent, if applicable, for determining the amount due. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations, and may request a reasonably detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Secured Bank Product Provider. If the provider fails to deliver the calculation within five (5) days following request, the Administrative Agent may assume the

amount is zero. The allocations set forth in this Section are solely to determine the rights and priorities among Secured Parties, and may be changed by agreement of the affected Secured Parties, without the consent of any Obligor. This Section is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Obligor, and each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds subject to this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.7<u>Application of Payments</u>**. While a Trigger Event is in effect, the ledger balance in the main Dominion Account for the Obligors (other than the Canadian Borrower) as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations and the ledger balance in the main Dominion Account for the Canadian Obligors as of the end of such Business Day shall be applied to the Canadian Obligations, in each case at the beginning of the next Business Day. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, and shall be made available to U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds while a Trigger Event is in effect, and agrees that Administrative Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the applicable Obligations, in such manner as Administrative Agent deems advisable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.8<u>Loan Account; Account Stated</u>**.

The Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts ("<u>Loan Account</u>") evidencing the Debt of Borrowers resulting from each Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit from time to time. Any failure of Administrative Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.8.2. <u>Entries Binding</u>. Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies the Administrative Agent in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.9<u>Taxes</u>**. For purposes of this <u>Section 5.9</u> and <u>Section 5.10</u>, the term "Lender" includes any Issuing Bank and the term "applicable law" includes FATCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If a Withholding Agent is required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct Taxes, including backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent, to the extent required by Applicable Law, shall timely pay the full amount that it determines is to be withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (ii) to the extent the withholding or deduction is made on

account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this paragraph) the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against any amount that a Lender or Issuing Bank fails for any reason to pay indefeasibly to Administrative Agent as required pursuant to this Section. Each Borrower shall make payment within ten (10) days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a several basis, (i) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (but only to the extent Borrowers have not already paid or reimbursed Administrative Agent therefor and without limiting Borrowers' obligation to do so), (ii) Administrative Agent and Obligors, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to maintain a Participant register as required hereunder, and (iii) Administrative Agent and Obligors, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent or an Obligor in connection with any Obligations, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall make payment within ten (10) days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this <u>Section 5.9.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.9.4. <u>Evidence of Payments</u>. If Administrative Agent or an Obligor pays any Taxes pursuant to this Section, then upon request, Administrative Agent shall deliver to UNFI or UNFI shall deliver to Administrative Agent, as applicable, a copy of a receipt issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority evidencing the payment, a copy of any return required by Applicable Law to report the payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent or UNFI, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.9.5. <u>Treatment of Certain Refunds</u>. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of a Lender or Issuing Bank. If a Recipient determines in its discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this <u>Section 5.9</u>), it shall pay the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such Recipient, shall repay to such Recipient the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph 5.9.5 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Recipient shall be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph 5.9.5 if such payment would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. In no event shall Administrative Agent or any Recipient be required to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) available to any Obligor or other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.9.6. <u>Survival</u>. Each party's obligations under <u>Sections 5.9</u> and <u>5.10</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by or replacement of a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the U.S. Revolver Commitments, the Canadian Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction, discharge or Full Payment of any Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.10<u>Lender Tax Information</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.10.1. <u>Status of Lenders</u>. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent to enable them to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the previous two sentences, such documentation (other than documentation described in <u>Sections 5.10.2(a)</u>, <u>(b)</u> and <u>(d)</u>) shall not be required if a Lender reasonably believes delivery of the documentation would subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice its legal or commercial position.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.10.2. <u>Documentation</u>. Without limiting the foregoing,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.11<u>Nature and Extent of Each Borrower's Liability</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.11.1. <u>Joint and Several Liability</u>. Each U.S. Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Administrative Agent and Secured Parties the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations (including, without limitation, the FILO Obligations, but excluding its Excluded Swap Obligations) and all agreements under the Loan Documents and each Canadian Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Administrative Agent and Secured Parties the prompt payment and performance of, all Canadian Obligations and all agreements under the Loan Documents, as applicable, related thereto. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Administrative Agent or any Secured Party with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Administrative Agent or any Secured Party against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.11.2. <u>Waivers</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Administrative Agent or Secured Parties to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Obligations and waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to revoke any guaranty of any Obligations as long as it is a Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Administrative Agent and Secured Parties that the provisions of this <u>Section 5.11</u> are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Administrative Agent and Secured Parties would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent and Secured Parties may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this <u>Section 5.11</u>. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Administrative Agent or any Secured Party shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to "election of remedies" or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any Borrower's obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower's rights of subrogation against any other Person. Administrative Agent may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure, trustee's or other sale, including any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Administrative Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Administrative Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this <u>Section 5.11</u>, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Administrative Agent or any Secured Party might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower's liability under this <u>Section 5.11</u> shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such Borrower's Allocable Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If any Borrower makes a payment under this <u>Section 5.11</u> of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a "<u>Guarantor Payment</u>") that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower's Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The "<u>Allocable Amount</u>" for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this <u>Section 5.11</u> without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Section 5.11.3(a)</u> shall not limit the liability of any Borrower to pay or guarantee Loans made directly or indirectly to it (including Loans advanced hereunder to any other Person and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support its business, Secured Bank Product Obligations incurred to support its business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. Administrative Agent and Secured Parties shall have the right, at any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of Loans and Letters of Credit to a Borrower based on that calculation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each Specified Obligor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP's obligations and undertakings under this <u>Section 5.11</u> voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations. Each Obligor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a "keepwell, support or other agreement" for the benefit of, each Obligor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.11.4. <u>Joint Enterprise</u>. Each Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent and Secured Parties make this credit facility available in order to finance Borrowers' business most

efficiently and economically. Borrowers' business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual advantage. Borrowers acknowledge that Administrative Agent's and Secured Parties' willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral of Borrowers on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers' request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.11.5. <u>Subordination</u>. Each Borrower (including Canadian Borrower) hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or setoff, that it may have at any time against any other Obligor, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Obligations.

If any Obligor enters into a Permitted Receivables Financing, a disposition of the type described <u>Section 10.2.6(j)</u> if an updated Borrowing Base Certificate is required by the terms thereof, or a Permitted AR Factoring Transaction, the Borrowers shall deliver, prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of such transaction (or such longer period as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent), a written supplement to the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate modifying such Borrowing Base Certificate to remove all accounts which are no longer Eligible Accounts, Eligible Credit Card Receivables or Eligible Pharmacy Receivables and evidencing that no Overadvance will exist as a result of such Permitted Receivables Financing, disposition under <u>Section 10.2.6(j)</u> or Permitted AR Factoring Transaction or confirming that no changes have been made to the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with, and as a condition to the permissibility of, any transaction or series of related transactions constituting an Asset Disposition (but excluding Asset Dispositions in the ordinary course of business), Investment or Distribution (whether involving a sale, contribution, distribution or other transfer of Equity Interests or otherwise) that, individually for any transaction or in the aggregate for all such related transactions since the most recent delivery of a Borrowing Base Certificate, would result in a reduction in the value of the Combined Borrowing Base in effect at such time by an amount in excess of 5.0% the then-amount of the Combined Borrowing Base, (x) UNFI shall deliver to the Administrative

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as long as any portion of the FILO Loans are outstanding, the Obligors shall cause the FILO Pushdown Reserve to be maintained as and to the extent the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the FILO Loans exceeds the FILO Borrowing Base. For the purposes of determining any FILO Pushdown Reserve, each of the FILO Lenders and the Obligors agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative Agent actually becomes aware or is otherwise notified in writing by the FILO Lenders (or any of them) that such calculation is inaccurate and, in the case of any notice from a FILO Lender, providing the Administrative Agent with the correct calculation, prepared in good faith, of the FILO Pushdown Reserve (any such notice, a "FILO Pushdown Reserve Correction Notice"), and, in such event, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on the calculation of the FILO Pushdown Reserve made by the FILO Lenders (or any of them) as reflected in the FILO Pushdown Reserve Correction Notice. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Base Certificate or a FILO Pushdown Reserve Correction Notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall have a three (3) Business Day period of time to implement any requisite FILO Pushdown Reserve or to make any adjustments to the FILO Pushdown Reserve then in effect as set forth in such Borrowing Base Certificate or such FILO Pushdown Reserve Correction Notice, as the case may be, and shall thereafter maintain such FILO Pushdown Reserve in effect until further adjustment, if any, pursuant to receipt of a subsequent Borrowing Base Certificate or FILO Pushdown Reserve Correction Notice. Each of the FILO Lenders agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Revolver Lender shall have any liability for relying on the calculation of any FILO Pushdown Reserve as set forth in a Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrower or in any FILO Pushdown Reserve Correction Notice delivered by the FILO Lenders, as the case may be. Each of the FILO Lenders and the Obligors agree that in the event of any discrepancy or dispute as to the amount of any FILO Pushdown Reserve, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall rely (and shall be entitled to rely) solely on the calculation of the FILO

In determining compliance with a condition for any action hereunder, including satisfaction of any condition in <u>Section 6</u>, the Administrative Agent may presume that the condition is satisfactory to a Secured Party unless Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Secured Party before Administrative Agent takes the action. The Administrative Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders or other Secured Parties (or such other number of Lenders as may be required) with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents or Collateral, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against Claims that could be incurred by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders (or such other number of Lenders as may be required) shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting pursuant to instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in <u>Section 14.1.1</u>. In no event shall Administrative Agent be required to take any action that it determines in its discretion is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject Administrative Agent Indemnitee to liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.5<u>Ratable Sharing</u>.** If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through setoff or otherwise, in excess of its share of such Obligation, determined on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with <u>Section 5.6.2</u>, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank and the other Applicable Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with <u>Section 5.6.2</u>, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the amount thereof to the Administrative Agent for application under <u>Section 4.2.2</u> and it shall provide a written statement to the Administrative Agent describing the Obligation affected by such payment or reduction. No Lender shall setoff against any Dominion Account without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.6<u>Indemnification</u>**. EACH SECURED PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES AND ISSUING BANK INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS, ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE; <u>PROVIDED</u> THAT ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR ANY AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF AN AGENT). In no event shall any Lender have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless an Agent Indemnitee or Issuing Bank Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. In the Administrative Agent's discretion, it may reserve for any Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee or Issuing Bank Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to Secured Parties. If Administrative Agent is sued by any receiver, interim receiver, receiver manager, bankruptcy trustee, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Administrative Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Administrative Agent by each Secured Party to the extent of its Pro Rata share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.7<u>Limitation on Responsibilities of Administrative Agent</u>.** Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent shall not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor, Lender or other Secured Party of any obligations under the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent makes no express or implied representation, warranty or guarantee to Secured Parties with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Liens, Loan Documents or Obligor. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents or Borrower Materials; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or Account Debtor. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance by any Obligor of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.8<u>Successor Agents and Co-Agents</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.8.1. <u>Resignation; Successor Agents</u>. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days' written notice thereof to the Applicable Lenders and Borrowers (the thirtieth (30<sup>th</sup>) day after such notice has so been provided, the "<u>Resignation Effective Date</u>"). Upon receipt of such notice, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders and (<u>provided</u> no Default or Event of Default exists) Borrowers; <u>provided</u> that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent may appoint a successor agent that is a financial institution reasonably acceptable to it, which shall be a Lender unless no Lender accepts the role or in the absence of such appointment, Required Lenders shall on such date assume all rights and duties of Administrative Agent hereunder; it being understood and agreed that, regardless of whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. Upon acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of its appointment hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent without further act, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have all rights and protections under the Loan Documents with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Administrative Agent, including the benefits of the indemnification set forth in <u>Sections 12.6</u> and <u>14.2</u>. Notwithstanding Administrative Agent's resignation, the provisions of this <u>Section 12</u> shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Administrative Agent. Any successor to Wells Fargo by merger, amalgamation or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be Administrative Agent hereunder without further act on the part of any Secured Party or Obligor.

If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to UNFI and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with UNFI, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the "<u>Removal Effective Date</u>"), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.8.2. <u>Co-Collateral Agent</u>. If necessary or appropriate under Applicable Law, Administrative Agent may appoint a Person to serve as a co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent under any Loan Document. Each right and remedy intended to be available to Administrative Agent under such Loan Document shall also be vested in such agent. Secured Parties shall execute and deliver any instrument or agreement that the Administrative Agent may request to effect such appointment. If the Administrative Agent shall die, dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until appointment of a new agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.9<u>Due Diligence and Non-Reliance</u>.** Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and, where applicable, participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it feels necessary

13317859v14

------

concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and Obligors. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Administrative Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Administrative Agent or its Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Sustainability Structuring Agent: (a) makes any assurances whether the agreement meets any criteria or expectations of any Obligor or an Lender with regard to environmental or social impact and sustainability performance, or whether the facility including the characteristics of the relevant KPI metrics (including any environmental, social and sustainability criteria or any computation methodology) meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities, or (b) has any responsibility for or liability in respect of reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by any Obligor of the KPI metrics or any margin or fee adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set out in any pricing certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry, when implementing any pricing adjustment).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.10<u>Remittance of Payments and Collections</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.10.1. <u>Remittances Generally</u>. All payments by any Lender to the Administrative Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by the Administrative Agent and request for payment is made by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m., then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by Administrative Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Administrative Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to Administrative Agent's right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.10.2. <u>Failure to Pay</u>. If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due by it to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid in full at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the rate determined by Administrative Agent as customary for interbank compensation for two (2) Business Days and thereafter at the Default Rate for Base Rate Loans. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to Administrative Agent, nor shall any Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts held by Administrative Agent pursuant to <u>Section 4.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.10.3. Recovery of Payments. If Administrative Agent pays any amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be received by Administrative Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received, then Administrative Agent may recover such amount from each Secured Party that received it. If Administrative Agent determines that an amount received by it must be returned or paid to an Obligor or other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Secured Party. If any amounts received and applied by Administrative Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by

13317859v14

------

Administrative Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, each Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent, on demand, such Lender's Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.11<u>Individual Capacities</u>.** As a U.S. Revolver Lender, Wells Fargo shall have the same rights and remedies under the Loan Documents as any other U.S. Revolver Lender or Canadian Lender, as the case may be, and the terms "Lenders," "U.S. Revolver Lenders," "Canadian Lenders," "Required Lenders" or any similar term shall include Wells Fargo in its capacity as a U.S. Revolver Lender. Administrative Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Obligors and their Affiliates, as if they were not Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to any Secured Party. In their individual capacities, Administrative Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates may receive information regarding Obligors, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and shall have no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.12<u>Agent Titles</u>**. Each Lender, other than Wells Fargo, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by Wells Fargo as an "Administrative Agent," "Arranger" or "Bookrunner" of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event have any fiduciary duty to any Secured Party. Each Lender and other Secured Party hereby acknowledges that neither the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the documentation agent nor any other Lender (or its Affiliate) designated as any "Agent" or "Arranger" on the cover page hereof (other than the Administrative Agent) has any liability hereunder other than in its capacity as a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.13<u>Bank Product Providers</u>**. Each Secured Bank Product Provider, by delivery of a notice to Administrative Agent of a Bank Product, agrees to be bound by the Loan Documents, including <u>Sections 5.6</u>, <u>14.3.3</u> and this <u>Section 12</u>. Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Obligors, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in connection with such provider's Secured Bank Product Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.14<u>Certain ERISA Matters</u>**. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Obligor, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.16<u>No Third Party Beneficiaries</u>.** This <u>Section 12</u> is an agreement solely among Secured Parties and Administrative Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. This <u>Section 12</u> does not confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person. As between Borrowers and Administrative Agent, any action that Administrative Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by Secured Parties.

**SECTION 13.BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.1<u>Successors and Assigns</u>.** This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Administrative Agent, Lenders, Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with <u>Section 13.3</u>. Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with <u>Section 13.3</u>. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.2<u>Participations</u>**.

Subject to <u>Section 13.3.3</u>, any Lender may sell to a financial institution or other entity excluding Disqualified Institutions ("<u>Participant</u>") a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans, U.S. Revolver Commitments and Canadian Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 3.7</u> and <u>3.9</u> and <u>5.9</u> to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to <u>Section 13.1</u> (it being understood that the documentation required under <u>Section 5.10</u> shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation); <u>provided</u> that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of <u>Sections 3.8</u> and <u>13.4</u> as if it were an assignee under <u>Section 13.1</u> and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 3.7</u> or <u>5.9</u>, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 5.9</u> unless Borrowers agree otherwise in writing. A Participant that would be a Canadian Lender if it were a Lender, and that is a non-resident of Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (or lends to the Canadian Borrower hereunder from a lending office outside Canada) shall not be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 5.9</u> unless the Canadian Borrower agrees otherwise in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.2.2. <u>Voting Rights</u>. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan, U.S. Revolver Commitment or Canadian Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Commitment Termination Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan, U.S. Revolver Commitment or Canadian Commitment, or releases any Borrower, Guarantor or substantially all Collateral.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers (solely for tax purposes), maintain a register in which it enters the Participant's name, address and interest in U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian Commitments, Loans (and stated interest) and LC Obligations. Entries in the register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person recorded in the register as the owner of the participation for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have an obligation to disclose any information in such register except to the extent necessary to establish that a Participant's interest is in registered form under the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.2.4. <u>Benefit of Setoff</u>. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall have a right of setoff in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of setoff with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of setoff, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its setoff, in accordance with <u>Section 12.5</u> as if such Participant were a Lender.

Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including a pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from its obligations hereunder nor substitute the pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, <u>however</u>, unless otherwise consented to by UNFI in writing, no assignment shall be made to a Disqualified Institutions.

No assignment or participation may be made to a Borrower, Affiliate of a Borrower, Defaulting Lender or natural person. Any assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall be effective only upon payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations, or other compensating actions as Administrative Agent deems appropriate), to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities then owing by the Defaulting Lender hereunder. If an assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall become effective under Applicable Law for any reason without compliance with the foregoing sentence, then the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until such compliance occurs.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling UNFI to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is the result from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) any material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates or related parties (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction) or (iii) any dispute among Indemnitees (or their respective Affiliates or related parties) that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries (other than any claims against an Administrative Agent or a Lead Arranger in their capacity as such). For the avoidance of doubt, this <u>Section 14.2</u> shall not apply to any Claim on account of Taxes governed by (or excluded from the application of) <u>Sections 3.7</u> or <u>5.9</u>. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall a Canadian Obligor have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to claims or liabilities of or against any U.S. Obligor. Each Indemnitee agrees (by accepting the benefits hereof), severally and not jointly, to refund and return any and all amounts paid by any Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries under this <u>Section 14.2</u> to such Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Indemnitee shall, in consultation with UNFI, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any losses, Claims, damages, liabilities and expenses and shall give (subject to confidentiality or legal restrictions) such information and assistance to UNFI as it may reasonably request in connection with any proceedings.

Subject to <u>Section 4.1.4</u>, all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Borrower, at UNFI's address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Acceptance), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this <u>Section 14.3</u>. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged or (d) if given by email, when sent absent receipt of a failure to deliver notice within thirty (30) minutes of such notice or communication being sent (it being understood that an "out of office" reply does not constitute a failure to deliver notice for this purpose). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Administrative Agent pursuant to <u>Section 2.1.4</u>, <u>2.3</u>, <u>3.1.2</u>, or <u>4.1.1</u> shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice or other communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by UNFI shall be deemed received by all Borrowers.

Electronic and telephonic communications (including e-mail, messaging, voice mail and websites) may be used. Secured Parties make no assurance as to the privacy or security of electronic or telephonic communications. Voice mail shall not be effective notices under the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.3.3. <u>Platform</u>. Borrower Materials shall be delivered pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, including electronic delivery (if possible) upon request by Administrative Agent to an electronic system maintained by Administrative Agent ("<u>Platform</u>"). Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent of each posting of Borrower Materials on the Platform and the materials shall be deemed received by Administrative Agent only upon its receipt of such notice. Borrower Materials and other information relating to this credit facility may be made available to Secured Parties on the Platform, and Obligors and Secured Parties acknowledge that "public" information is not segregated from material non-public information on the Platform. The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available." Administrative Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information on the Platform nor the adequacy or functioning of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for any errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials or any issues involving the Platform. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT WITH RESPECT TO BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. Secured Parties acknowledge that Borrower Materials may include material non-public information of Obligors and should not be made available to any personnel who do not wish to receive such information or who may be engaged in investment or other market-related activities with respect to any Obligor's securities. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any liability to Borrowers, Secured Parties or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform, including any unintended recipient, nor for delivery of Borrower Materials and other information via the Platform, internet, e-mail or any other electronic platform or messaging system.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.3.4. <u>Non-Conforming Communications</u>. Administrative Agent and Lenders may rely upon any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if they were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any electronic or telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.4<u>Performance of Borrowers' Obligations</u>**. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Borrowers' expense, pay any amount or do any act required of a Borrower under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Administrative Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Administrative Agent's Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All reasonably documented, out-of-pocket payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses and reasonable attorney costs of one counsel for all Indemnitees and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee)) of Administrative Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed to Administrative Agent by Borrowers, **on demand**, with interest from the date incurred until paid in full, at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Administrative Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall a Canadian Obligor have any obligation to reimburse the Agent for any payments, costs, or expenses with respect to a U.S. Obligor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.5<u>Credit Inquiries</u>.** Administrative Agent and Lenders may (but shall have no obligation to) respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Obligor or Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.6<u>Severability</u>.** Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.7<u>Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms</u>.** The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.8<u>Counterparts; Execution.</u>** Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement. Any electronic signature, contract formation on an electronic platform and electronic record-keeping shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based

13317859v14

on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. The Administrative Agent reserves the right, in its discretion, to accept, deny, or condition acceptance of any electronic signature on any Loan Document. Upon request by Administrative Agent, any electronic signature or delivery shall be promptly followed by a manually executed or paper document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.9<u>Time is of the Essence</u>.** Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary herein or in another Loan Document, time is of the essence with respect to all Loan Documents and Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.10<u>Relationship with Lenders</u>.** The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Administrative Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute Administrative Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of any Obligor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.11<u>No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility</u>.** In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm's-length commercial transactions between Borrowers and their Affiliates, on one hand, and Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger, on the other hand; (ii) Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrowers, any of their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrowers and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrowers or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.12<u>Confidentiality</u>**. Each of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys, accountants and advisors, and to their respective Affiliates involved in the Transaction on a "need to know" basis and who are made aware of the confidential nature of such information and have been advised of this obligation to keep information of this type confidential; <u>provided</u> that Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank shall remain liable for the breach of the provisions of this paragraph by such directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys, accountants and advisors, (b) on a confidential basis to any bona fide potential Lender, prospective participant or swap counterparty (in each case, other than a Disqualified Institution and other persons to whom UNFI has affirmatively declined to consent to the syndication or assignment thereto prior to the disclosure of such confidential Information to such Person) that agrees to keep such information confidential in accordance with (x) the provisions of this paragraph for the benefit of UNFI or (y) other customary confidentiality language in a "click-through" arrangement, (c) as required by the order of any

13317859v14

------

court or administrative agency or in any pending legal, judicial or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by Applicable Law, regulation or compulsory legal process (in which case the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to inform UNFI promptly thereof to the extent lawfully permitted to do so (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any self-regulatory authority or governmental or regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority)), (d) to the extent requested by any bank regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (including in any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any self-regulatory authority or governmental or regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), (e) to the extent such Information: (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or other confidential obligation owed by Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank to the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries, Supervalu or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank on a non-confidential basis from a source other than UNFI or on its behalf that, to Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank's knowledge (after due inquiry), is not in violation of any confidentiality obligation owed to any Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, Supervalu or any of their respective Affiliates, (f) to the extent UNFI shall have consented to such disclosure in writing (which may include through electronic means), (g) for purposes of establishing any defense available under securities laws, including, without limitation, establishing a "due diligence" defense or to defend any claim related to this Agreement, (h) to the extent independently developed by Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank without reliance on confidential Information, (i) on a confidential basis to credit insurers and reinsurers (and related insurance brokers) or (i) solely with respect to the existence of this credit facility, to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this credit facility. As used herein, "Information" means all information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a degree of care similar to that which it accords its own confidential information. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement (including this <u>Section 14.12</u>) or the other Loan Documents, shall prohibit any of the Administrative Agent, Lenders or Issuing Banks from making any voluntary disclosures or providing any information within the scope of this <u>Section 14.12</u> to any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization under any applicable whistleblower rules or regulations of such organization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.13<u>Judgment Currency</u>**. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or

13317859v14

------

any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under Applicable Law).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.14<u>GOVERNING LAW</u>**. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.15<u>Consent to Forum</u>**. EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER NEW YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT'S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN <u>SECTION 14.3.1</u>. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Administrative Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.16<u>Waivers by Borrowers</u>**. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Administrative Agent on which a Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything Administrative Agent may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Administrative Agent to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (g) notice of acceptance hereof. Each Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks and Lenders entering into this Agreement and that they are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with Borrowers. Each Borrower has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Obligor hereby absolutely, knowingly, unconditionally, and expressly waives any and all claim, defense or benefit arising directly or indirectly under any one or more of Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive of the California Civil Code or any similar law of California.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.17<u>Patriot Act Notice</u>**. Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby notify Borrowers that pursuant to the Patriot Act, Administrative Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Administrative Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act. Administrative Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Borrowers' management and owners, such as legal name,

13317859v14

------

address, social security number and date of birth. The Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.18<u>Waiver of Sovereign Immunity</u>**. To the extent the Canadian Borrower or any other Borrower that is a Canadian Subsidiary has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution or otherwise), the Canadian Borrower (and any other Borrower that is a Canadian Subsidiary) hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permissible under Applicable Law, such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents, and agrees not to assert any such right of immunity in any such proceeding, whether in the United States and Canada or elsewhere. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Canadian Obligor further agrees that the waivers set forth in this <u>Section 14.18</u> shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.19<u>Pari Passu Treatment</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Administrative Agent may and, upon the request of the Required Lenders, shall, upon notice to each applicable Lender, effect the remaining provisions of this <u>Section 14.19</u> by causing each payment or prepayment of principal and interest received after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder to be distributed pari passu among the Lenders (in each case, to the extent such Lenders are then entitled to receive payment thereon pursuant to <u>Section 5.6.2</u>), in accordance with (i) in the case of the Revolver Lenders, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Obligations owing to each such Revolver Lender divided by the Total Outstandings and (ii) in the case of the FILO Lenders, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the FILO Loans owing to each such Lender divided by the aggregate outstanding FILO Obligations. Such notice shall also attach a schedule setting forth (x) the Total Outstandings at such time including a breakdown of the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings and the Total Canadian Outstandings and (y) the outstanding amount of the FILO Loans. Nothing in this <u>Section 14.19</u> shall constitute a guarantee by any Obligor of the obligations of any other Obligor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or acceleration of the Loans pursuant to <u>Section 11.2</u> and receipt of a notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (a) above, each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower (pursuant to <u>Section 11.4</u> or otherwise), including a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or other security or interest arising from or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under the Bankruptcy Code, or any other insolvency, debtor relief or debt adjustment law or otherwise, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of the Loans, Letters of Credit, LC Obligations and other Obligations held by it (x) to which it was not entitled pursuant to <u>Section 5.6.2</u> or (y) as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of the Obligations held by it shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Obligations held by any other Lender so entitled to payment thereof at such time, it shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased from such Lenders entitled to such payment or other such Lender receiving less than its proportionate share of such payment, as applicable, a participation in the Obligations held by such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Obligations and/or participations in Obligations held by each applicable Lender shall

13317859v14

------

be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Obligations then outstanding as the principal amount of the Obligations held by it prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim was to the principal amount of all Obligations outstanding prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 14.19 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustments restored without interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or acceleration of the Loans pursuant to <u>Section 11.2</u>, each Lender agrees that, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to such Lender, which notice shall be provided upon the request of the Required Lenders or may be provided by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, (i) each such Revolver Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from each other Revolver Lender a participation in the risk associated with the Obligations (other than the FILO Obligations) held by each other Revolver Lender and (ii) each FILO Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from each other FILO Lender, a participation in the risk associated with the FILO Obligations held by each other FILO Lender, so that the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations (other than FILO Obligations) held by each Revolver Lender and the FILO Obligations held by each FILO Lender shall be equivalent to such Lender's respective Pro Rata share of the such Obligations. Upon demand by the Administrative Agent, made at the request of the Required Lenders, each Revolver Lender or FILO Lender that has purchased such participation (a "<u>Purchasing Lender</u>") shall pay the amount of such participation to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolver Lender or FILO Lender whose outstanding Obligations exceed their respective Pro Rata share of such respective Obligations. Any such participation may, at the option of such Purchasing Lender, be paid in U.S. Dollars or, solely in the case of the Revolver Lenders, Canadian Dollars, as the case may be (in an amount equal to the then applicable U.S. Dollar Equivalent amount of such participation) and such payment shall be converted by the Administrative Agent at the exchange rate into the currency of the Loan or LC Obligation in which such participation is being purchased. The Borrowers agree to indemnify each Purchasing Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Purchasing Lender as a result of any payment on account of such participation in a currency other than that funded by the Purchasing Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Person holding such a participation in the Obligations deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by such Borrower to such Person as fully as if such Person had made a Loan directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.20<u>Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions</u>**. 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 Lender that is an Affected 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 the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.21<u>Intercreditor Agreement</u>**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document: (a) the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the exercise of any right related to any Collateral shall be subject, in each case, to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) in the event of any conflict between the express terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, on the one hand, and of the Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the terms and provisions of such Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.22<u>NO ORAL AGREEMENT</u>**. **THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.** THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.23<u>Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.</u>** To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "QFC Credit Support" and each such QFC a "Supported QFC"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "U.S. Special Resolution Regimes") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States), in the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "Covered Party") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with

13317859v14

respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.24<u>Press Releases</u>**. Each Secured Party executing this Agreement agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent and without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent unless (and only to the extent that) such Secured Party or Affiliate is required to do so under Applicable Law and then, in any event, such Secured Party or Affiliate will consult with the Administrative Agent before issuing such press release or other public disclosure**.** Each Obligor consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective representatives of advertising material, including any "tombstone," press release or comparable advertising, on its website or in other marketing materials of Administrative Agent, relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using any Obligor's name, product photographs, logo, trademark or other insignia. The Administrative Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft reasonably in advance of any advertising material, "tomb stone" or press release to UNFI for review and comment prior to the publication thereof. The Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations and loan syndication and pricing reporting services information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.25.1. Each Lender, each Issuing Bank, each other Secured Bank Product Provider and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or Issuing Bank or any Secured Bank Product Provider (or the Lender which is an Affiliate of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Bank Product Provider) or any other Person that has received funds from Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Bank Product Provider (each such recipient, a "<u>Payment Recipient</u>") that Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this <u>Section 14.25</u>, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an "<u>Erroneous Payment</u>"), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; <u>provided</u> that nothing in this Section shall require Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.25.3. In the case of either clause (1)(i) or (1)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.25.4. In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (4), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an "<u>Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency</u>"), then at the sole discretion of Administrative Agent and upon Administrative Agent's written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "<u>Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans</u>") to Administrative Agent or, at the option of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent's applicable lending affiliate (such assignee, the "<u>Agent Assignee</u>") in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans, the "<u>Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment</u>") plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by Agent Assignee as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Without limitation of its rights hereunder, following the effectiveness of the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, the Administrative Agent may make a cashless reassignment to the applicable assigning Lender of any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment at any time by written notice to the applicable assigning Lender and upon such reassignment all of the Loans assigned pursuant to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be reassigned to such Lender without any requirement for payment or other consideration. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) any assignment contemplated in this clause (4) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (ii) the provisions of this clause (4) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of <u>Section 13</u> and (iii) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.25.5. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this <u>Section 14.25</u> or under the indemnification

13317859v14

------

provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Obligor, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Administrative Agent from the Borrowers or any other Obligor for the purpose of making for a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.25.6. Each party's obligations under this <u>Section 14.25</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.25.7. The provisions of this <u>Section 14.25</u> to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) nothing in this <u>Section 14.25</u> will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient's receipt of an Erroneous Payment and (ii) there will only be deemed to be a recovery of the Erroneous Payment to the extent that Administrative Agent has received payment from the Payment Recipient in immediately available funds the Erroneous Payment Return, whether directly from the Payment Recipient, as a result of the exercise by Administrative Agent of its rights of subrogation or set off as set forth above in clause (5) or as a result of the receipt by Agent Assignee of a payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loans assigned to Agent Assignee pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, but excluding any other amounts in respect thereof (it being agreed that any payments of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts (other than principal) received by Agent Assignee in respect of the Loans assigned to Agent Assignee pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be the sole property of Agent Assignee and shall not constitute a recovery of the Erroneous Payment).
