SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE 
This Separation Agreement and Release (the “Agreement”) is between Jordi Ferre (“Employee”) and AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. (“Employer”) and is effective on the eighth day following Employee’s execution of this Agreement provided Employee has not revoked the Agreement (the “Effective Date”).
RECITALS
Employee and Employer previously entered into that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2016 (the “Employment Agreement”); capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Employment Agreement; 
Employee’s employment with Employer will terminate effective May 7, 2021 (the “Termination Date”);
Employee and Employer desire to define their respective rights and obligations for the future; and
Employee desires to release any claims or causes of action Employee may have against Employer and the other Released Parties (as defined herein).
Now, therefore, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Employee and Employer agree:
1.Termination.  Employee’s employment with Employer will terminate on the Termination Date.  Employee will be paid his normal base salary through the Termination Date.  Whether or not Employee signs this Agreement, Employee will additionally receive reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by Employee in accordance with the Employer’s policy prior to the termination date and his vested Employee Benefits, if any, under the employee benefit plans of the Employer, and his accrued but unused vacation pay.  Employee acknowledges that the payments made pursuant to this Section 1 will be in full satisfaction of all wages, benefits and other compensation owed to Employee for employment or service through the Termination Date.  As of the date hereof, Employee resigns as a director, and all other directorships and officer positions he has or may have had with any of the other Released Parties. 

2.Employer’s Obligations to Employee.  Provided that Employee executes and does not revoke this Agreement, Employer shall, in consideration of Employee’s covenants and promises herein, and in full satisfaction of Section 7(c) of the Employment Agreement:
(a)Pay to Employee an amount equal to 1.5 times his current Base Salary of $590,000, payable in equal installments in accordance with regular payroll procedures established by the Employer over a twelve-month period beginning with the first payroll date that occurs on or after the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date (subject to any applicable withholding taxes); 
(b)Pay to Employee a pro rata portion of his Annual Bonus for 2021, calculated by taking the product of (a) Employee’s Annual Bonus that he would have earned in 2021 had his employment continued through the end of 2021 (based upon the extent to which the performance goals for the year are met, but without any exercise of negative discretion), but in no event greater than the Target amount of 100% of Employee’s current Base Salary of $590,000, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during which Employee was employed in 2021 through the Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365. Accordingly, if Employee is employed through the Termination Date, the fraction will be 127/365, or .35%, and assuming the Target is met, Employee would receive $206,500 as an Annual Bonus for 2021.  This amount, if any, shall be payable as and when the Annual Bonus would have been payable to Employee if his employment had not been terminated;
(c)Either, as determined in the Employer’s sole and absolute discretion, (i) the cost of Employee’s and any dependents’ coverage under COBRA under the Employer’s health plan currently in effect for the 18-month period following the Termination Date, or (ii) a lump sum cash payment directly to Employee equal to the cost of Employee’s and any dependents’ coverage under COBRA under the Employer’s health plan then in effect for the 18-month period following the Termination Date, on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date; and
(d)Employer shall reimburse Employee up to $15,000 for annual tax preparation and financial planning expenses incurred by Employee during the 2021 calendar year, subject to Employer’s receipt of invoices evidencing such payments by Employee.  
3.Prior Rights and Obligations.  Except as herein set forth, this Agreement extinguishes all rights, if any, which Employee may have, and obligations, if any, of Employer and its affiliates, contractual or otherwise, (a) relating to the employment, service or termination of employment of Employee with Employer or its affiliates, or (b) under the Employment 

 

Agreement, any employment contract or other plan with Employer or its affiliates, including but not limited to the Change in Control Executive Severance Agreement, dated as of August 30, 2019, between Employer and Employee (the “CIC Agreement”) and any severance plan, policy or practice.  Employee agrees that the amounts set forth in this Agreement are the only amounts that will be paid in connection with Employee’s termination of employment or service and fully satisfy Employer’s and its affiliates’ obligations to Employee under the Employment Agreement, that Employee is not entitled to or owed any other severance benefits or compensation arising out of the employment, service or termination of employment of Employee with Employer, and that Employee is receiving benefits under this Agreement that Employee would not be entitled to but for the execution of this Agreement.  
4.Employer Assets.  Employee hereby represents and warrants that Employee has no claim or right, title or interest in, or possession of, any property or assets of Employer or its affiliates.  On the Termination Date, to the extent Employee has not already done so, Employee shall deliver to Employer any such property or assets in Employee’s possession or control, including, without limitation, any information technology equipment, keys and security cards issued to Employee by Employer, and all electronically stored information (or information derived therefrom) (including disclosing to Employer electronic user IDs and passwords).
5.Waiver and Release of All Claims.  
(a)In consideration of and in return for the benefits stated in this Agreement, Employee agrees to and hereby does release the Employer and its affiliates, and each of their current and former directors, officers, employees, agents, investors, predecessors and successors in interest, and all benefit plans sponsored by any of them, and all fiduciaries for such benefits plans, past or present (collectively, the “Released Parties” and individually, a “Released Party”), individually and collectively, from liability for any and all claims, damages, and causes of action of any kind from the beginning of time through the date Employee signs this Agreement, including but not limited to (a) any and all claims or causes of action arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq. (“ADEA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act; (b) any and all claims or causes of action arising under any other federal, state or local laws including but not limited any such claims arising under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act; and (c) any and all claims for breach of the Employment Agreement, the CIC Agreement, any Equity Agreement (as defined below) or any contract, 

 

agreement, plan, policy, or practice, whether oral or written between Employee and any Released Party (all of the foregoing, the “Released Claims”).  
This Agreement does not prohibit Employee from filing a complaint with the EEOC or other governmental agency making a good faith report of possible violations of applicable law to any governmental agency or from cooperating with any governmental investigation.  However, Employee acknowledges that by reason of his waiver and release of claims, he shall not be entitled to relief resulting from any such complaint or report, except and only to the extent as may otherwise be required by applicable law.  This Agreement and Employee’s release does extend to any of the Released Claims brought by any organization, governmental agency, or person on behalf of Employee or as a class action under which Employee may otherwise have a right or benefit and Employee agrees that he is not entitled to, has waived, and will not accept any such relief.
Except as expressly provided herein, the waiver and release provisions of this Agreement do not apply to any rights or claims for age discrimination that may arise after the effective date of this Agreement.  Further, this Agreement does not prohibit Employee from filing a claim to challenge the validity of his release of claims under the ADEA or any claim for breach of this Agreement, or as permitted by the rules of, or any programs administered by, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the releases in this paragraph do not apply to any of the obligations of the Employer that are referenced or contained within this Agreement.
(b)Employer acknowledges that, as of the date of its execution of this Agreement, it is not aware of any claims or causes of action Employer may have against Employee.
6.Equity Agreements. All awards previously granted to Employee pursuant to the terms of the AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Equity Plan”) shall continue to be governed by the applicable terms of the applicable Award Agreements (as such term is defined in the Equity Plan) (the “Equity Agreements”) and the Equity Plan; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Equity Plan or the Equity Agreement governing Employee’s restricted stock award with respect to a total of 103,650 restricted shares of common stock granted effective as of March 29, 2019, all remaining unvested shares (a total of 34,550 shares of common stock) shall be deemed to be fully vested as 

 

of the Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, all other unvested awards granted to Employee under the Equity Plan shall be forfeited as of the Termination Date. 
7.Confidentiality.  Employee agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any other person, except that Employee may disclose such terms to Employee’s attorney, financial advisors and/or tax accountants, and members of Employee’s immediate family.  Employee agrees to refrain from making public or private statements or comments relating to any of Released Parties which are derogatory, disparaging, or which may tend to injure any such party or person in its or their business, public or private affairs unless required by law.  Employer agrees that its Senior Leadership Team will refrain from making public or private statements or comments relating to Employee which are derogatory, disparaging, or which may tend to injure Employee in his business, public or private affairs unless required by law.
8.Affirmation of Continuing Duties.  In accordance with Employee’s existing and continuing obligations, Employee agrees to abide by and acknowledges the enforceability of certain covenants under the Employment Agreement, including Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11(j) of the Employment Agreement; provided that Section 8(a) of the Employment Agreement shall be amended as set forth below as of the Termination Date.  This includes, without limitation, to the extent Employee has not already done so, promptly after the execution of this Agreement, delivering to Employer all confidential information in accordance with the Employment Agreement.  Employee acknowledges that his compliance with these continuing obligations in the Employment Agreement and the confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions herein is a condition to his receipt of the benefits provided under this Agreement.  In addition to any other legal or equitable remedies Employer may have, in the event that Employee violates Section 8 of the Employment Agreement (as amended below) or violates in any material respect Section 9 of the Employment Agreement, Employer shall be entitled to cease payment of any amounts due under this Agreement. Employer agrees to abide by and acknowledges the enforceability of Sections 7(g) and 11(n) of the Employment Agreement, which remain in effect. 
As of the Termination Date, Section 8(a) of the Employment Agreement is amended as follows:
(a)Subsection (ii)(B) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(ii)(B)    enter the employ of, render any services to, or otherwise become actively involved with, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or consultant, any entity (or any division or affiliate of any entity) listed on Schedule I attached hereto;”

 

(b)Subsection (iii) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Competitive Business” means the development, manufacture, license, sale or provision of products or services in the post-harvest market for fresh produce.”
(c)Subsection ii(C) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“acquire a financial interest in any Competitive Business, directly or indirectly.”
(d)Schedule I attached hereto is hereby added as a new schedule to the Employment Agreement.
9.Exclusive Benefits.  Employee agrees and acknowledges that the only benefits associated with the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer to which Employee is entitled are the benefits stated in this Agreement (including those sections of the Employment Agreement and Equity Agreements incorporated by reference) and that Employee is not entitled to any additional benefits under any other policy, plan or agreement of Employer or any of its affiliates in connection with Employee’s termination.
10.Unenforceable Provisions.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined in the future to be invalid, void or unenforceable for any reason, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of all remaining provisions of this Agreement.  The only exception is that upon a determination that Employee’s agreements contained in Section 5 above (the waiver and release of all claims) are unenforceable, Employer shall have the right to discontinue payments until Employee signs a new enforceable release and waiver of claims in a form reasonably satisfactory to Employer, unless Employee’s agreements in Section 5 are voided due to Employee’s challenge of the enforceability of such provision, in which case the entire Agreement shall be voidable, at the option of Employer, thereby requiring, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the return to Employer of all payments given in consideration for those release provisions.
11.Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced, in all respects, in accordance with the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to the principles of conflict of law of such state, except as preempted by federal law.
12.Merger.  This Agreement supersedes, replaces and merges all previous agreements and discussions relating to the same or similar subject matters between Employee 

 

and Employer and constitutes the entire agreement between Employee and Employer with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (including any contrary provision in the Employment Agreement), other than those portions of the Employment Agreement and Equity Agreements incorporated herein by reference.  This Agreement may not be changed or terminated orally, and no change, termination or waiver of this Agreement or any of the provisions herein contained shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by all parties, and in the case of Employer, by an authorized officer.
13.Rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that he has at least twenty-one (21) days to review this Agreement; he has been advised by Employer to consult with an attorney regarding the terms of this Agreement prior to executing it; if he executes this Agreement, he has seven days following the execution of this Agreement to revoke this Agreement (by providing written notice to Employer before 5:00 p.m. on the seventh day); this Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired; he does not, by the terms of this Agreement, waive claims or rights that may arise under the ADEA after the date he executes this Agreement; he is receiving, pursuant to this Agreement, consideration in addition to anything of value to which he is already entitled; and he understands this Agreement and it is written in such a manner that he understands his rights and obligations under the Agreement.
14.Agreement Voluntary; No Reliance.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee has carefully read this Agreement and understands that it is a release of all claims, known and unknown, past or present including all claims under the ADEA.  Employee warrants that he is executing this Agreement without any representation of any kind or character not expressly set forth herein.  
15.No Admissions.  The parties expressly understand and agree that the terms of this Agreement are contractual and not merely recitals and that the agreements herein and consideration paid are to compromise doubtful and disputed claims, avoid litigation, and buy peace, and that no statement or consideration given, nor offer of same, shall be construed as an admission of any claim by either party, such admissions being expressly denied. 
16.Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that either party institutes any legal suit, action, or proceeding against the other party arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party in the suit, action or proceeding shall be entitled to receive, in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting the suit, action, or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs.

 

17.Further Actions.  Employee agrees to execute such additional documents as may reasonably be required by Employer to effectuate his termination of employment and the implementation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee agrees to sign such resignation letters as may be requested by Employer from time to time to document that Employee no longer serves as a director or officer of Employer or any subsidiary of Employer.

​
(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative.

​
1.6The following is added to the end of the definition of “LC Exposure” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement:
​
For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Article 29(a) of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the applicable time) or Rule 3.13 or Rule 3.14 of the International Standby Practices, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the applicable time) or similar terms of the Letter of Credit itself, or if compliant documents have been presented but not yet honored, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” and “undrawn” in the amount so remaining available to be paid, and the obligations of the Borrowers and each Lender shall remain in full force and effect until the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.

1.7Section 1.07 of the Credit Agreement is restated as follows:
​
SECTION 1.07. Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification.  The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform.  Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may 

15
​

change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, a Term ESTR Transition Event, a Term TONA Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Section 2.13(b) and (c) provide the mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 2.13(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based.  However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.13(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, a Term ESTR Transition Event, a Term TONA Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.13(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate, as applicable) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
​
1.8The following new Section 1.12 is added to the Credit Agreement:
​
SECTION 1.12. Letter of Credit Amounts.  Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time.
​
1.9The following new clause (f) is added to Section 2.02 of the Credit Agreement:
​
(f)  The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent of each Loan and Letter of Credit on and as of each Revaluation Date.
​
1.10The following is added to the end of Section 2.05(b) of the Credit Agreement:
​

16
​

An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
​
(i)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law relating to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, or 
​
(ii)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.
​
1.11Section 2.10(c) of the Credit Agreement is restated as follows: 
​
(c)  In the event and on such occasion that the aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure (calculated, with respect to those Loans or Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currencies, as of the most recent Revaluation Date with respect to each such Loan or Letter of Credit, as applicable) exceeds (x) 103% of the Aggregate Commitments solely as a result of currency fluctuations, (y) the Aggregate Commitments other than as a result of currency fluctuations, including on any Exchange Rate Date, or (z) the aggregate Commitments on any Revaluation Date or the date any Loan is made or Letter of Credit issued, the Borrowers shall prepay the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure owing by such Borrowers in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Commitments.
​

​
SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. 
​
 (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.13, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:
​
(i)         the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period, provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or
​
(ii)        the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making 

17
​

or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period;
​
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail (including through Electronic Systems pursuant to Section 9.01) as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, an affected Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (B) if any Borrowing Request requests an affected Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (C) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in a Foreign Currency other than Canadian Dollars, then such request shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Eurocurrency Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.13(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, then until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, on such day and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in any Agreed Currency (other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars), then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at the Borrowers’ election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrowers on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, such Eurocurrency Loan denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars shall be deemed to be a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars at such time
​
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.13), if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the 

18
​

Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
​
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, (x) with respect to a Loan denominated in Dollars, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (y) with respect to a Loan denominated in Euros, if a Term ESTR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, or (z) with respect to a Loan denominated in Japanese Yen, if a Term TONA Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, as applicable, have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Company a Term SOFR Notice, a Term ESTR Notice or a Term TONA Notice, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any (x) Term SOFR Notice after the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event, (y) Term ESTR Notice after the occurrence of a Term ESTR Transition Event or (z) Term TONA Notice after the occurrence of a Term TONA Transition Event, and may do so in its sole discretion.
​
(d)In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
​
(e)The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.13, 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 Section Section 2.13.
​
(f)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), (i) if 

19
​

the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR, Term ESTR, Term TONA, LIBO Rate, EURIBOR Rate or TIBOR Rate) and either (A) 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 the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) 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 or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
​
(g)Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans or (y) any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency other than Canadian Dollars shall be ineffective. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.  Furthermore, if any Eurocurrency Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Agreed Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.13, (i) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, on such day or (ii) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in any Agreed Currency (other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars), then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at the Borrowers’ election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrowers on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, such Eurocurrency Loan denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars shall be deemed to be a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars at such time.

​
1.16The reference in Section 9.02(b) of the Credit Agreement to “Section 2.13(e) and Section 9.02(c) below” is replaced with a reference to “Section 2.13(b), (c) and (d) and Section 9.02(c) below”. 
​
1.17Section 9.19 of the Credit Agreement is restated as follows:
​
SECTION 9.19Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document 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:
​
(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 party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
​
(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
​
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
​
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge 

21
​

institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
​
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down   and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
​
1.18The following new Section 9.22 is added to the Credit Agreement:
​
SECTION 9.22Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap 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 Michigan 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 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.
​
1.19Schedules 2.05, 2.23, 3.06, 6.02, 6.04, and 6.08 to the Credit Agreement are replaced with the corresponding Schedules attached hereto. 
​
ARTICLE II.  REPRESENTATIONS.  Each of the Borrowers represents, warrants, and acknowledges to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:  
​

22
​

2.1The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment are within its powers, have been duly authorized by existing board resolutions or other necessary company and corporate action, as applicable, and are not in contravention of any statute, law or regulation or of any terms of its operating agreement, articles of incorporation, certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other charter documents, or of any material agreement or undertaking to which it is a party or by which it is bound.  
​
2.2This Amendment is the legal, valid and binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity.

​

​
4.2Without limiting any amounts payable under the Loan Documents, the Loan Parties, jointly and severally, agree to pay all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, of the Administrative Agent in connection with this Amendment and the transaction in connection herewith.
​

The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to any future consent to, or waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.  The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that, without limiting the terms of any Loan Documents, all Secured Obligations are unconditionally owing by the Loan Parties and their applicable Subsidiaries without setoff, recoupment, defense, or counterclaim, in law or in equity, of any kind or character, and all Secured Obligations are and will continue to be secured by valid, perfected, indefeasible Liens in, among other things, the Collateral, as applicable, and each of the Loan Parties reaffirms its obligations and duties under the Loan Documents and the Liens in the Collateral that it granted to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, as applicable, to secure the Secured Obligations. 
​
4.4Each Loan Party represents and warrants that it is not aware of any claims or causes of action against any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective affiliates, successors or assigns, it has not assigned any claim, set off, or defense with respect to the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the Loan Documents and that it has no defenses, offsets or counterclaims with respect to the Secured Obligations.  Notwithstanding this representation and as further consideration for the agreements and understandings herein, each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its employees, agents, executors, heirs, successors and assigns (the “Releasing Parties”), hereby releases each Lender, the Administrative Agent and their respective predecessors, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns (the “Released Parties”), from any liability, claim, right or cause of action which now exists or hereafter arises as a result of acts, omissions or events occurring on or prior to the date hereof, whether known or unknown, arising from or in any way related to the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, all transactions relating to the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the business relationship among, or any other transactions or dealings among, the Releasing Parties or any of them and the Released Parties or any of them relating to the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

24
​

​
4.5This Amendment may be signed upon any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and signatures sent by telecopy or other electronic imaging shall be effective as originals.
​
4.6This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan.
​
4.7Any provision of this Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
