payments of payment obligations of the Borrower under any other subordination agreements then outstanding which are scheduled to mature on or before such payment obligation), the Adjusted Net Capital of the Borrower would be less than the greatest
of 1) six (6) percent of the funds required to be segregated pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC Regulations and the foreign futures or foreign options secured amount, exclusive of the market value of commodity options purchased by
option customers of the Borrower on or subject to the rules of a contract market or a foreign board of trade (provided the deduction for each option customer shall be limited to the amount of customer funds in such option customer’s account(s)

period of not less than six months, the Borrower shall then commence the rapid and orderly liquidation of its entire business, but the right of the Lender to receive payment, together with accrued interest or compensation shall remain subordinate as

required, the Commission, given not earlier than six months after the effective date of this Agreement, accelerate the date on which the payment obligation of the Borrower, together with accrued interest or compensation, is scheduled to mature to a
date not earlier than six months after giving of such notice, but the rights of the Lender to receive payment, together with accrued interest or compensation, shall remain subordinate as required by the provisions of this Agreement.

	11.	Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 9 of this Agreement, the payment obligation of the Borrower with respect to this Agreement, together with accrued interest and
compensation, shall mature in the event of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation pursuant to the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 or otherwise, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization whether or not pursuant
to the bankruptcy laws, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Borrower, but the right of the Lender to receive payment, together with accrued interest or compensation, shall remain subordinate as required by the provisions of
this Agreement. 

  

	12.	The Borrower shall immediately notify the Designated Self-Regulatory Organization and the Commission if, after giving effect to all payments of payment obligations under
subordination agreements then outstanding which are then due or mature within the following six months without reference to any projected profit or loss of the Borrower, its adjusted net capital would be less than the greatest of 1) six (6) percent
of the funds required to be segregated pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC Regulations and the foreign futures or foreign options secured amount, exclusive of the market value of commodity options purchased by option customers of the
Borrower on or subject to the rules of a contract market or a foreign board of trade (provided that the deduction for each option customer shall be limited to the amount of customer funds in each option customer’s account(s) and foreign futures

exchange or securities exchange or upon any such exchange’s surveillance of the Borrower or its capital position. The Lender is not relying upon any such exchange to provide any information concerning or relating to the Borrower. No such
exchange has a responsibility to disclose to the Lender any information concerning or relating to the Borrower which it may have now or at any future time. Neither any such exchange nor any officer or employee of any such exchange shall be liable to
the Lender with respect to this Agreement, the Indebtedness, the repayment thereof, any interest or compensation thereon or any damages resulting from the breach of this Agreement. Neither the Designated Self-Regulatory Organization nor the

federal income tax purposes. 
  
 SECTION 7.4. Further
Assurances and Corrective Instruments. The Issuer and the Company shall, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered such supplements hereto and such further instruments as may

shall be authorized to act on any such approval or request. 
  
 SECTION 7.6. Removal of Liens Respecting Company Payments. Notwithstanding any discharge of the Indenture, termination or expiration of this Agreement or payment of the Bonds, if any lien, encumbrance or charge of any kind
based on any claim of any kind (including, without limitation, any claim for income, franchise or other taxes, whether federal, state or otherwise) shall be asserted or filed against any amount paid or payable by the Company under or pursuant to
this Agreement or any order (whether or not valid) of any court shall be entered with respect to any such amount by virtue of any claim of any kind, in either case so as to: 
  
 (a) interfere with the due payment of such amount to the Trustee or the due application of such amount by
the Trustee pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or 
  
 (b) result in the refusal of the Trustee to make such due application because of its good-faith determination that liability might be incurred if such due application were to be made; 
  
 then the Company shall promptly take such action (including, but not limited to, the payment
of money) as may be necessary to prevent or to nullify the cause or result of such interference, such obligation or such refusal, as the case may be. 
  
 SECTION 7.7. [Reserved.] 
  
 SECTION 7.8. Release and Indemnification. The Company hereby (i) releases the Issuer, its governing body members, officers, agents,

willful misconduct, bad faith or recklessness of an indemnified party or their agents), all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, suits, claims, settlements and judgments, of any nature whatsoever arising from or related in any manner
whatsoever to the acquisition, improving, equipping, ownership, leasing or operation of the Facilities or any activities related to the foregoing or to the failure of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 All covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the
Issuer contained herein shall not be deemed to be the covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of any governing body member, officer, agent, consultant and legal counsel, servant or employee of the Issuer in the individual
capacity thereof. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal or Redemption Price of or Purchase Price or interest on the Bonds or for any claim based thereon or hereunder against the Issuer or any governing body member, officer,
agent, consultants and legal counsel, servant or employee of the Issuer or any natural person executing the Bonds or pertaining to their sale, delivery, payment, redemption or Mandatory Purchase or Optional Tender Purchase. 
  
 The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee and its directors,
officers, agents and employees (collectively the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties, and expenses, including out-of-pocket and incidental expenses and legal fees
(including the allocated costs and expenses of in-house counsel and legal staff) (“Losses”) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Indemnitees or any of them for following any instructions or other directions upon
which Trustee is authorized to rely pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. In addition to and not in limitation of the preceding sentence, the Company also agrees to indemnify and hold the Indemnitees and each of them harmless from and against any
and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Indemnitees or any of them in connection with or arising out of the Trustee’s performance under the Indenture or this Agreement, provided the Indemnitees have not
acted with negligence or engaged in willful misconduct. 
  
 Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be responsible or liable for any market loss suffered in connection with the investment of funds made in accordance with the Indenture, or, absent failure on the part of the Trustee to follow clear
and reasonable instructions of the Company for investing moneys, shall have any liability for nonpayment of interest on any uninvested moneys that the Trustee may hold at any time in trust or receive under any of the provisions of this Agreement or
the Indenture, except as otherwise specifically agreed in writing. 
  
 Promptly after receipt by the Issuer or Trustee, as the case may be, or any such other indemnified person of notice of the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity any be sought against the Company under this Section, such
person will notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, the Company shall assume the defense of such action (including the employment of counsel who shall be counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer, Trustee or such other person as the case may be, and the payment of expenses). Insofar as such action shall relate to any 
  

 - 18 - 

 alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company, the Issuer or any such other
indemnified person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Company unless the employment of such
counsel has been specifically authorized by the Company. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such action effect without its consent.

Indenture with respect to the Company and that the Company shall not interfere with the exercise of the power and authority granted to the Trustee in the Indenture. The Company further agrees to aid in the furnishing to the Issuer or the Trustee of
any Opinion of Counsel that maybe required under the Indenture.

 ASSIGNMENT, SALE, LEASING AND MORTGAGING 
  
 SECTION 8.1. Assignment of Agreement; or Leasing of Facilities.

  
 (a) This Agreement may be assigned by the
Company with the prior written consent of the Credit Provider, but only if: (i) the assignee shall assume in writing, satisfactory to the Credit Provider, all obligations and covenants, of the Company hereunder in respect of the interest assigned
and shall deliver such assumption, and such other documents or certificates as the Issuer and Bond Counsel shall deem reasonably necessary, to the Trustee; and (ii) the Company shall furnish the Trustee, an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that

Provider, be released from all obligations thereafter to be performed or to become due under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1(a) to the contrary, this Agreement may initially be collaterally assigned by the Company to the
Bank and, upon the issuance of a Substitute Credit by a Credit Provider other than the Bank, to such Credit Provider or its designee.

Provider, and (ii) the sublessee shall expressly subordinate its rights under the sublease to the rights of the Issuer and the Trustee under this Agreement, and (iii) the Company shall furnish the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect
that the subleasing shall not result in interest on the Series 2002 Bonds becoming included in the gross income of Holders for federal income tax purposes.

Agreement, and the term “Event of Default” shall mean, whenever it is used in this Agreement, any one or more of the following events (and the term ‘default’ shall mean any event which would, with the passage of time or giving of

 (f) failure by the Company to observe and perform any covenant, condition, obligation or agreement on its part to be observed or performed
hereunder, other than as referred to in Section 9.1(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) hereof, after written notice, specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, given to the Company and the Credit Provider by the Trustee by registered mail or
to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, and the continuance of such default for a period of thirty (30) days or such longer period as
shall be reasonably necessary to cure such default, but only if in the Trustee’s reasonable opinion, the Company is continuing to pursue diligently the cure of such default (which is subject to cure); 
  
 (g) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit
Agreement; or 
  

 - 20 - 

 (h) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Existing Facility Lease. 

 
 The Trustee shall promptly provide telephonic notice to the Company, Credit Provider and
Remarketing Agent, promptly confirmed in writing, upon the Trustee receiving written notice that any default is existing. 
  
 SECTION 9.2. Remedies on Default. If a Credit is in effect and an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing pursuant to above
paragraphs (a) or (b) of Section 9.1, the Trustee may, and upon the request of the Credit Provider or upon the request of Holders owning not less than twenty-five percent (25%) principal amounts of Bonds outstanding (accompanied by the written
consent of the Credit Provider) shall, subject to its right to indemnification to its satisfaction, take any one or more of the following actions: 
  
 (a) Declare all Lease Payments to be immediately due and payable (being an amount equal to that necessary to pay in full the principal of
and interest accrued to the date for payment of all Bonds then outstanding, assuming acceleration of the Bonds under the Indenture, and to pay all other amounts due and payable hereunder), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable.

  
 (b) Take possession of the Facilities without
termination of this Agreement, and use its best efforts to sublease the Facilities for the account of the Company, holding the Company liable for the difference between the rentals and other amounts received from the sublessee and the Lease Payments
and other amounts payable by the Company hereunder. 
  
 (c) Terminate this Agreement, exclude the Company from possession, and use its best efforts to lease or sell the Equipment and Improvements to another for the account of the Company, holding the Company liable for the difference between the
rentals or purchase price received and the amounts which would have been receivable hereunder. 
  
 Whenever any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and if the Credit is not in effect, the Issuer or the Trustee may, and upon the request of Holders owning not less than twenty-five percent (25%) principal
amount of all Bonds Outstanding shall, take whatever action, at law or in equity, as may appear necessary or desirable to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the Company under this Agreement. 
  
 Any amounts collected pursuant to action taken under this Section shall be
paid into the Bond Fund, except as provided in the Indenture, and applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, or if the Bonds have been fully paid (or provision for payment thereof has been made in accordance with the provisions of
the Indenture) and all sums owing hereunder by the Company to the Issuer have been paid, the amount so collected shall be paid first to the Credit Provider to the extent of any amounts owing under the Credit Agreement and then to the Company.

  
 SECTION 9.3. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Issuer is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy 
  

 - 21 - 

 given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In
order to entitle the Issuer to exercise any remedy reserved to the Issuer in this Article IX, it shall not be necessary to give notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Article IX. Such rights and remedies as are given the Issuer
hereunder shall also extend to the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Holders, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, shall be entitled to the benefit of all covenants and agreements herein contained. 
  
 SECTION 9.4. Agreement to Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses.
In the event the Company should default under any of the provisions of this Agreement and the Issuer or the Trustee or both shall employ attorneys or incur other reasonable expenses for the collection of payments due or to become due or incur
other reasonable expenses for the collection of payments due or to become due or the enforcement or performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Company herein contained, the Company agrees that it shall, on demand
therefor, pay to the Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be, the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee or both. 
  
 SECTION 9.5. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any agreement contained in this
Agreement should be breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other concurrent, previous or subsequent breach hereunder.

  
 SECTION 9.6. Rights of Credit Provider. Upon any
Event of Default under this Agreement which permits the termination thereof by the Issuer, the Trustee shall give notice to the Credit Provider and the Credit Provider shall have the right at any time within six (6) months from the date of such
notice to cure the Event of Default and reinstate this Agreement unless the Issuer has first terminated this Agreement as provided herein. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after two (2) months from the date a notice of Event of Default is given to the Credit Provider, the Trustee on
behalf of the Issuer may elect to terminate this Agreement and acquire possession of the demised premises. Upon acquiring possession of the demised premises the Trustee shall notify the Credit Provider. The Credit Provider shall have six (6) months
from the date of such notice of acquisition to elect to take a new lease on the demised premises. Such new lease shall have a term equal to the unexpired portion of the term of this Agreement and shall be on the same terms and conditions as
contained in this Agreement, except that the Credit Provider’s liability for rent shall not extend beyond its occupancy under such lease. The Issuer shall tender such new lease to the Credit Provider within thirty (30) days after a request for
such lease and shall deliver possession of the demised premises immediately upon execution of the new lease. Upon executing a new lease, the Credit Provider shall pay to the Trustee any unpaid Rent due or that would have become due under this
Agreement to the date of the execution of the new lease, including all sums that would be due but for such termination, and pay or cause to be paid any and all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and costs and
disbursements incurred by the Issuer in connection with the execution and delivery of such new lease, less any net rentals or other income which the Issuer may have received on account of the Facilities since the date of the Event of Default under
this Agreement.

 The Company, the Issuer and the Trustee hereby agree that the Credit Provider shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Company under this Agreement, including the Company’s options set forth in Article X hereof, for any amounts paid under the Letter of Credit and not reimbursed by the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

 COMPANY OPTIONS 
  
 SECTION 10.1. Optional Termination Upon Discharge of Indenture.
The Company shall have the following options to terminate the Term and discharge the lien of the Indenture as provided in Article VIII of the Indenture: 
  
 (a) At any time prior to full payment of the Bonds (or provision for payment thereof having been made in accordance with the provisions of
the Indenture), the Company may terminate the Term by giving the Issuer notice in writing of such termination and by paying to the Trustee, for the account of the Issuer for deposit in the Bond Fund, an amount of eligible funds which, when added to
the amount on deposit in any Funds and available therefor, shall be sufficient to discharge the Indenture in accordance with its terms. 
  
 (b) At any time after full payment of the Bonds (or provision for payment thereof having been made in accordance with the provisions of
Article VIII of the Indenture), the Company may terminate the Term by giving the Issuer and the Trustee notice in writing of such termination. 
  
 Upon compliance with the foregoing and the giving of notice to the Issuer and the Trustee in writing of such termination, such termination shall forthwith become
effective. 
  
 SECTION 10.2. Optional Prepayment of Lease
Payments Because of Casualty or Condemnation. The Company shall be permitted to prepay Lease Payments and all other amounts due hereunder in full prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the Bonds (or provision for payment in full thereof having
been made under the Indenture), if any of the following shall have occurred: 
  
 (a) The Equipment and Improvements shall have been damaged or destroyed to such extent that in the reasonable judgment of the Company they (i) cannot reasonably be restored within six (6) months to substantially their
condition immediately preceding such damage or destruction, or (ii) cannot reasonably be used to carry on the normal operations of the Company for six (6) months, or (iii) the reasonably estimated cost of restoration exceeds twenty percent (20%) of
the original face amount of the Bonds and is also reasonably estimated to exceed the Net Proceeds; provided that such estimates shall be reasonably approved by the Trustee; or 
  

 - 23 - 

 (b) By reason of the exercise of the power of eminent domain by any governmental
authority, title shall have been taken to all or substantially all of the Equipment and Improvements, or so much thereof that in the reasonable judgment of the Company (i) the Company will be prevented from carrying on its normal operations for six
(6) months, or (ii) the reasonably estimated cost of restoration of the Equipment and Improvements exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the original face amount of the Bonds and is reasonably estimated to exceed the Net Proceeds; provided that such
estimates shall be reasonably approved by the Trustee; or 
  
 (c) As a result of any changes in the Constitution of the State or the Constitution of the United States of America, or of any legislative or administrative action, whether state or federal, or of any final decree,
judgment or order of any court or administrative body, whether state or federal, entered after the contest thereof by the Company in good faith, the agreements contained in this Agreement shall have become impossible of performance in accordance
with the intent and purposes of the parties as expressed herein, or unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities shall have been imposed upon the Company, including, but not limited to the imposition of new state or local ad valorem, property,
income or other taxes not imposed on the date of this Agreement, other than ad valorem taxes upon privately owned property and for the same general purpose as the Facilities. 
  
 To exercise such prepayment, the Company shall, within 120 days following the event set forth in paragraph (a), (b) or (c)
above, give written notice to the Issuer, Credit Provider and the Trustee if any of the Bonds shall then be unpaid and provision for the payment thereof has not been made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and shall specify therein
the date of closing such prepayment, which date shall be not less than ten (10) days nor more than ninety (90) days from the date such notice is mailed. Such notice shall specify the Redemption Date for the Bonds to be redeemed, which date shall be
the first date succeeding the date set for closing such prepayment for which the Trustee can properly give notice as provided in Section 3.11 of the Indenture, and shall request the Trustee to take all steps necessary under the applicable provisions
of the Indenture to effect the redemption of the Bonds on such date upon receipt in full of the prepayment. The prepayment amounts by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be the sum of the following: 
  
 (i) an amount of money to be paid into the Bond Fund which,
when added to the amount then on deposit with the Trustee in the Funds and available for payment of the Bonds, shall be sufficient to pay the principal of and accrued interest to the redemption date on all the Bonds then Outstanding in accordance
with the Indenture; plus 
  
 (ii) an amount of
money equal to the Trustee’s fees and expenses under the Indenture and the expenses of the Issuer accrued and to accrue until such final payment and redemption of the Bonds. 
  
 In such event, the Company may direct the Trustee to pay into the Bond Fund any Net Proceeds of insurance or condemnation
award which the Trustee may then hold to be used solely for payment of principal of and accrued interest on the Bonds on the date selected for 
  

 - 24 - 

 redemption. Upon the date of prepayment in full as provided in this Section 10.2, the Company shall be entitled to retain
possession of the Facilities throughout the Term, subject to the right of the Company to terminate the Term or, in accordance with Section 10.3, purchase the Facilities. 
  
 SECTION 10.3. Optional Redemption of Bonds. The Company shall have the option, at any time and from time to
time, to direct the Issuer to cause all or a portion, as the case may be, of Bonds Outstanding to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Indenture on any Redemption Date and at the prices specified therein, from moneys available therefor in the
Bond Fund or from Eligible Funds paid by the Company to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund for the purpose of such redemption. To exercise the foregoing option, the Company shall deliver to the Issuer, Credit Provider and to the Trustee a
certificate of a Company Representative: 
  
 (a)
stating that the Company elects to exercise such option and specifying the Redemption Date for the Bonds to be redeemed; 
  
 (b) specifying the aggregate principal amount, the maturity and Series of the Bonds to be redeemed; and

 STRUCTURAL FACILITIES 
  
 GENERAL INFORMATION 
  
 The following is a description of the scope of the work regarding structural facilities for the feed manufacturing facility. 
  
 Site Work 
  
 Site work, except for the excavation and backfill necessary to install the structure is excluded from this Proposal. General site work
including pavement/concrete removal, erosion control, all drives, parking areas, storm water collection and drainage, and utilities is also excluded. Contractor will include this additional work as a change order to the Project. 
  
 Utilities 
  
 The electrical service and the temporary power disconnect for construction use will be supplied by the Owner to a point directly adjacent to
the new silos. Water for construction use will be supplied by the owner at a point adjacent to the new silos. 
  
 Wet standpipes, fire extinguishers, and any other form of fire protection, etc., if required, will be provided by the Owner. 
  
 STRUCTURES 
  

	 	•	Complete DeWaal piling system under the four silo foundations and tunnels. Assuming the existing piles are being utilized, the total number of new piles is assumed to be 341 piles
in the proposal. 

  

	 	    	Note: Piling will not be installed under the interior floor area of the one (1) 90’ dia. And two (2) of the 105’ dia. silos. This will allow the floor to settle with the
grain load. Once this has cycled a few times, the contractor will remobilize and pour a cap slab to level the floor permanently. This would not apply to the east most silo where there is the majority of the existing piles. 

 
 STRUCTURES (continued) 
  

	 	•	One (1) initial pile load test

	 	•	Reinforced concrete tunnel at grade running the length of each silo. Each tunnel will be approximately 8’ or 10’ high x 13’ wide with a 2’ thick reinforced
concrete roof 

  

	 	•	Reinforced concrete silo bottom slab, 1’ thick 

  

	 	•	Engineered fill and compaction between stem walls and tunnels 

  

	 	•	One (1) GSI Model NCL 9034 UOHH 90’ 0 x 90’-11” eave height, 115’-11” peak stell silo with a storage capacity of 529,414 bushels, inside ladder, roof
handrail, anchor bolts, all necessary roof openings and a 6.2” x 6.7’ drive in door and eighteen (18) steel framed discharge openings 

  
 Note: Drive over aeration trenches will be supplied in one (1) silo (east). 
  

	 	•	Two (2) structural steel ramps and platforms providing bobcat loader access to the silos
