 AMENDED AND RESTATED TERM LOAN AGREEMENT 

AMENDED AND RESTATED TERM LOAN AGREEMENT, dated as of August 31, 2012 (this “Agreement”), among SMITHFIELD FOODS,
INC., a Virginia corporation (the “Borrower”), the subsidiary guarantors which may from time to time be party hereto, each of the lenders that is a party hereto or that, pursuant to Section 10.04 hereof, shall become a
“Lender” hereunder (individually, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”), and COÖPERATIEVE CENTRALE RAIFFEISEN-BOERENLEENBANK B.A. “RABOBANK NEDERLAND”, NEW YORK BRANCH (in its
capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). 
 RECITALS 
 Borrower and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors (the
“Existing Subsidiary Guarantors”) entered into that certain Term Loan Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2009, with the lenders named therein, and Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. “Rabobank
Nederland”, New York Branch, as administrative agent for the lenders (as the same has been modified by that certain First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2011, the “Existing Term Loan Agreement”),
pursuant to which the lenders under the Existing Term Loan Agreement made a loan in the original principal amount of $200,000,000 to the Borrower which is outstanding as of the Effective Date. 

The Borrower has advised the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the Borrower issued $1,000,000,000 of its 6.625% Senior Notes due
2022 (the “Senior Notes due 2022”). The proceeds of the Senior Notes due 2022 were used to purchase or redeem the Senior Secured Notes (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement). 

In connection with the purchase and redemption of all of the Senior Secured Notes and Sections 7.14 and 9.09 of the Existing Term
Loan Agreement: (a) all the Existing Subsidiary Guarantors have been automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all their respective obligations under the Existing Term Loan Agreement and as a result are no longer parties
thereto and (b) all the Liens securing the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) have been released and discharged. 
 The Borrower has requested that the lenders under the Existing Term Loan Agreement and the Administrative Agent amend and restate the Existing Term Loan Agreement in its entirety to give effect to the
release of the Existing Subsidiary Guarantors and the Liens on the Collateral (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) and implement the other modifications set forth herein. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent have agreed to do so on
the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS 

Section 1.01 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below: 

“ABL Credit Facility” means that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 9, 2011
among the Borrower, the subsidiaries that guarantee obligations under such agreement, the lenders parties thereto and Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., “Rabobank Nederland”, New York Branch, as administrative agent
(or its successor in such capacity), and as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and any renewal, increase, extension,

refunding, restructuring, replacement or refinancing thereof in whole or in part (whether with the original administrative agent and lenders or another administrative agent or agents or one or
more other lenders and whether provided under the original ABL Credit Facility or one or more other credit or other agreements or indentures). 
 “ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the
Alternate Base Rate. 
 “Acquired Indebtedness” means Indebtedness (i) of a Person or any of its
Subsidiaries existing at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person, in each case whether or not Incurred by such Person in connection with, or in
anticipation or contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or such acquisition. Acquired Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been Incurred, with respect to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, on the date
such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and, with respect to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, on the date of consummation of such acquisition of assets. 
 “Act” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 10.16. 
 “Additional Assets” means: (i) any property or assets (other than Indebtedness and Capital Stock) to be used by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary in a Related Business,
(ii) the Capital Stock of a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the acquisition of such Capital Stock by the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary or (iii) Capital Stock constituting a minority interest in any
Person that at such time is or will thereupon become a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) of this definition, such Restricted Subsidiary is primarily engaged in a Related Business.

 “Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest
rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (i) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (ii) the Statutory Reserve Rate. 

“Administrative Agent” has the meaning assigned to such term in the preamble. 

“Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.

 “Affiliate” of any specified Person means (i) any other Person, directly or indirectly, controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person, (ii) any Person who is a director or officer (a) of such Person, (b) of any Subsidiary of such Person or (c) of any Person described in
clause (i) above and (iii) any beneficial owner of shares representing 5% or more of the total voting power of the Voting Stock (on a fully diluted basis) of the Borrower or of rights or warrants to purchase such Voting Stock (whether or
not currently exercisable) and any Person who would be an Affiliate of any such beneficial owner pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii). For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to
direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to
the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person (other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) in whom a Receivables Entity makes an Investment in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction shall be deemed to be an
Affiliate of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries solely by reason of such Investment.

Section 6.05(a). 
 “Agreement” has the meaning assigned to such term in the preamble.

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or
of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender in Dollars, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b)
Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificate from Lenders,
etc. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09 shall
be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Retroactive Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.09 for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided,
further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

Section 2.10 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than
on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest

  
 Page 31

 
Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and
expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would
have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period
therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period
at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or
amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within ten days after receipt thereof. 
 Section 2.11 Taxes. 

(a) Payment for Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.11) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law. 
 (c) Indemnification by Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.11) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a
Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Receipts. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental
Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 Page 32

 (e) Exemptions. Upon becoming a party to this Agreement, each Foreign Lender
represents and warrants to the Borrower that it is, on the date such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto, entitled to complete exemption from withholding tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or under any treaty
to which such jurisdiction is a party, for payments made to it by the Borrower hereunder. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or
any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. 
 (f) Refunds or Credits. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent (i) receives a refund from a taxation authority in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which the
Borrower has paid additional amounts hereunder or (ii) claims any credit or other tax benefit (such credit to include any increase in any foreign tax credit) with respect to any Taxes or Other Taxes for which it has been indemnified by the
Borrower and with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts hereunder which refund, credit or other tax benefit in the sole judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent is directly attributable to any such Indemnified Tax or
Other Tax paid, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to the Borrower the amount of such refund, credit or other tax benefit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower
with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any taxes on a refund or on interest received or credited) which such Lender or the Administrative Agent
certifies that it has reasonably determined to have been incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, credit or other tax benefit; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower agrees to repay, upon the request of such Lender or
the Administrative Agent, the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund or credit to
such tax authority, (ii) such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall have no obligation to cooperate with respect to any contest (or continue to cooperate with respect to any contest), or to seek or claim any refund,
credit or other tax benefit if such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines that its interest would be materially adversely affected by so cooperating (or continuing to cooperate) or by seeking or claiming any such refund, credit or other tax
benefit and (iii) the Borrower shall not have any right to examine the tax returns or other records of any Lender or the Administrative Agent or to obtain any information with respect thereto by reason of the provisions of this Section or any
judgment or determination made by any Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section. 
 Section 2.12
Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 
 (a) Manner of Payment. The Borrower shall make each
payment (including prepayment) required to be made by it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.09, Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, or otherwise) prior to
12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have
been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the instructions provided by the Administrative Agent, except that payments
pursuant to Section 2.09, Section 2.10, Section 2.11 and Section 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute, in like funds, any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. 

  
 Page 33

 (b) Payments on Non-Business Days. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on
the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the
maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. 

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) the conversion and continuation of Loans of a
particular Type (other than conversions provided for by Section 2.08 hereof) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their Loans; (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans shall be made for
account of the Lenders and each payment of the Prepayment Fee, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (iii) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made for
account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the Lenders. 
 (d) Manner of Application if Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees
then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties,
and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 

(e) Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then
the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance
with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring
a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation. 
 (f) Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on
such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with 

  
 Page 34

 
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. 
 (g) Application of Proceeds. All amounts received under the Subsidiary Guarantee shall first be applied as payment of the accrued and unpaid fees of the Administrative Agent hereunder and then to
all other unpaid or unreimbursed Obligations (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) owing to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent only and then any remaining amount of such proceeds shall be distributed
to the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid amounts of Obligations, until all the Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full or cash collateralized. 

(h) Return of Proceeds. If at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any amount distributed by the Administrative Agent
hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, then each Person receiving any portion of such amount
agrees, upon demand, to return the portion of such amount it has received to the Administrative Agent together with a pro rata portion of any interest paid by or other charges imposed on the Administrative Agent in connection with such rescinded or
restored payment. 
 Section 2.13 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Change of Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or if the Borrower is required to pay
any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
hereunder 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 (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.09 or Section 2.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b)
Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.11, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that
(i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.09 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Liens other than those permitted by Section 6.08. 
 (b) Intellectual Property. Each of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business as currently conducted except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. The use by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of all other trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property does not (except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect) infringe,
dilute, misappropriate, or otherwise violate in any respect (“Infringe”) upon the rights of any other Person in a manner that could reasonably be expected to materially impair the value of such intellectual property, taken as a
whole, and, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no other Person is Infringing the intellectual property of the Borrower or any other its Subsidiaries. The Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’
rights in and to any such intellectual property that is material to their business as currently conducted are not subject to any licensing agreement or similar arrangement that restricts the use thereof, other than restrictions that do not
materially interfere with their ability to conduct their business as currently conducted. 
 Section 3.06 Litigation and
Environmental Matters. 
 (a) Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which an adverse determination is reasonably likely and that, if adversely
determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Transactions. 

(b) Environmental Matters. Except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under
any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

aggregate are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.07 Compliance with Laws and
Agreements. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or

Section 3.10 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other
such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for
purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87), individually and in the aggregate, did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan
or Plans by an amount which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.11
Disclosure. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which they are subject, and all other matters known to them, that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Prospectus Supplement dated July 18, 2012 in respect of Senior Notes due 2022, nor any other report, financial statement, certificate or other
information furnished by or on behalf of the any Obligor to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Transactions or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material
misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that, with respect to projected financial information,
the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of “buying” or “carrying” “margin stock” within the meaning of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect, and
no part of the proceeds of any extension of credit hereunder will be used to “buy” or “carry” any “margin stock”.

sets forth a description of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Obligors as of the Effective Date of the Existing Term Loan Agreement. As of the Effective Date, all premiums in respect of such insurance that are due and payable have been
paid. The Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is adequate.

Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to preserve any such existence (except the Borrower), right, license or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Borrower shall determine that the preservation thereof
is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not, and will not be, disadvantageous in any material respect to the Lenders 

Section 5.04 Payment of Obligations. The Borrower will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same
shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary and (ii) all lawful
claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become a material liability or lien upon the property of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to pay or

faith judgment of management of the Borrower) are being maintained in accordance with GAAP. 
 Section 5.05 Maintenance
of Properties. The Borrower will cause all material properties owned by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or used or held for use in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in
normal condition, repair and working order and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Borrower may be necessary so that the business carried on in
connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from discontinuing the maintenance of any of such properties if such
discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Borrower, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary and not adverse in any material respect to the Lenders. 

Section 5.06 Insurance. To the extent available at commercially reasonable rates, the Borrower will maintain, and will cause
its Restricted Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with responsible carriers against such risks and in such amounts, and with such deductibles, retentions, self-insured amounts and co-insurance provisions, as are customarily carried by similar
businesses, of similar size in their country of organization, including professional and general liability, property and casualty loss, workers’ compensation and interruption of business insurance. In the event the Borrower determines that

  
 Page 43

 
insurance satisfying the first sentence of this Section 5.06 is not available at commercially reasonable rates, it shall provide an Officers’ Certificate to such effect to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on the determinations set forth therein. 

Section 5.07 Compliance with Laws. The Borrower shall comply, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply,
with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of the United States of America, all states and municipalities thereof, and of any governmental regulatory authority, in respect of the conduct of their respective businesses
and the ownership of their respective properties, except for such noncompliances as would not in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

correct entries are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any

reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested. 
 Section 5.09 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans
were used to repay all indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement dated August 29, 2008 among the Borrower, Rabobank as the only lender and Rabobank as administrative agent and for other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and
its Restricted Subsidiaries. No part of the proceeds of any Loan was used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X. 

Section 5.10 General Further Assurances. Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary who is an Obligor to, execute any and
all further documentation and take all such further actions, which may be required under any applicable law, or which the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, all at the
expense of the Borrower.

Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 365 days from the date of such Asset Disposition;
provided, that, at the option of the Borrower, to the extent that the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary has (x) at or before the consummation of an acquisition of Additional Assets, announced its intention to make an Asset
Disposition in connection with such acquisition (an “Announced Asset Disposition”) and (y) consummated such acquisition of Additional Assets during the period six months prior to the consummation of the Announced Asset
Disposition, then the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may deem the Net Available Cash from such Announced Asset Disposition to be reinvested for purposes of determining compliance with this clause (B) to the extent of the investment in
such Additional Assets; 
 (C) to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with
clauses (A) and (B), to make an offer to purchase the Loans and Pari Passu Indebtedness (including, without limitation, the Senior Notes due 2013, the Senior Notes due 2017 and the Senior Notes due 2022) with similar asset sale provisions, pro
rata at 100% of the tendered principal amount thereof (or 100% of the accreted value of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness so tendered, if such Pari Passu Indebtedness was offered at a discount) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to
the purchase date; and 
 (D) to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with
clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, to fund (to the extent consistent with any other applicable provision of this Agreement) any corporate purpose; provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of
Indebtedness pursuant to clause (A) or (C) above, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal
amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower and
its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 6.04 except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions that is not yet
applied in accordance with this Section 6.04 exceeds $25,000,000. 
 (b) Binding Commitment to Purchase. In the case
of clause (a)(iii)(B) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment; provided that (A) such Net Available Cash is applied to acquire Additional Assets within
540 days of the Asset Disposition and (B) in the event such binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Available Cash is so applied, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may satisfy its obligations
as to any Net Available Cash by entering into another binding commitment within 90 days of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment and applying the Net Available Cash within 180 days of such subsequent binding commitment;
provided further that the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may only enter into such a commitment under the foregoing provision one time with respect to each Asset Disposition. 

(c) Application to the Loan; Offer to Purchase. In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the repayment of Loans pursuant
to clause (a)(iii)(C) above, the Borrower will be required to apply such Excess Proceeds (as defined below) to the repayment of the Loans and any other Pari Passu 

  
 Page 50

 
Indebtedness (including, without limitation, the Senior Notes due 2013, the Senior Notes due 2017 and the Senior Notes due 2022) outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Borrower to make
an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Disposition as follows: (A) the Borrower will make an offer to repay the Loans (an “Offer”) within ten days of such time to all Lenders in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this Agreement in the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of $1,000) of Loans that may be repaid out of an amount (the “Loan Amount”) equal to the product of such Excess Proceeds multiplied
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and such Pari Passu Indebtedness and (B) to the extent required by
such Pari Passu Indebtedness to permanently reduce the principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Borrower will make an offer to purchase or otherwise repurchase or redeem such Pari Passu Indebtedness (a “Pari Passu
Offer”) in an amount equal to the excess of the Excess Proceeds over the Loan Amount at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (or 100% of the accreted value of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, if
such Pari Passu Indebtedness was offered at a discount) to the purchase date in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth herein with respect to the Offer and in the documentation governing such
Pari Passu Indebtedness with respect to the Pari Passu Offer. If the aggregate purchase price of the Loans and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to the Offer and Pari Passu Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the remaining Excess
Proceeds will be available to the Borrower for use in accordance with clause (a)(iii)(D) above. The Borrower shall not be required to make an Offer for Loans pursuant to this Section 6.04(c) if the Net Available Cash available therefor (after
application of the proceeds as provided in clauses (a)(iii)(A) and (a)(iii)(B) above) (“Excess Proceeds”) is less than $25,000,000 (which lesser amounts shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether an Offer is
required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any subsequent Asset Disposition). 
 (d) Items Deemed Cash. For the
purposes of this Section, the following are deemed to be cash: (x) the assumption of Indebtedness of the Borrower (other than Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Indebtedness) or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Guarantor
Subordinated Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor) and the release of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition, (y) securities
received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted within 30 days by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash and (z) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Borrower or any of
the Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by management of the Borrower, or if such Asset Disposition involves consideration in excess of $50,000,000, by a resolution of
the Board of Directors), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration pursuant to this clause (z) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash
Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value). Upon the completion of the application of the Net Available
Cash from any Asset Disposition pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the amount of Net Available Cash attributable to such Asset Disposition shall be deemed to be zero. 
 (e) Securities Law Compliance. The Borrower will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in
connection with the repayment of Loans pursuant to this Section. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section, the Borrower will comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will not be deemed to have breached obligations of the Borrower described under this Section 6.04 by virtue of such conflict.

 Section 6.05 Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) Limitation. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into or
conduct any transaction or series of transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or assets or the rendering of any service or the making of any Investment) with any Affiliate of the Borrower (an “Affiliate
Transaction”) on terms: (i) that are less favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained at the time of such transaction in arm’s–length dealings with a Person
who is not an Affiliate and (ii) that, in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate amount in excess of $25,000,000.00, are not in writing and have not been approved or negotiated and entered into on behalf of the Borrower or
such Restricted Subsidiary by Senior Management acting pursuant to authorizing resolutions adopted by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors or by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors having no personal stake in such
Affiliate Transaction (and such majority or majorities, as the case may be, determines that such Affiliate Transaction satisfies the criteria in clause (i) above). In addition, any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate payments or other
transfers by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in excess of $100,000,000.00 will also require an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or appraiser, as appropriate, of national prominence, to the effect that the terms of
such transaction are either (i) no less favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained at the time of such transaction in arm’s–length dealings with a Person who is not
an Affiliate or (ii) fair to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view. 
 (b) Additional Permissions. The provisions of Section 6.05(a) shall not prohibit: (i) any Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment permitted to be paid pursuant to Section 6.01,
(ii) the performance of the Borrower’s or its Restricted Subsidiary’s obligations under any collective bargaining agreement, employee benefit plan, related trust agreement or any other similar arrangement heretofore or hereafter
entered into in the ordinary course of business, (iii) payment of reasonable fees and compensation to employees, officers or directors as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or Senior Management (including indemnification to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, directors’ and officers’ insurance and similar arrangements, employment contracts, non-competition and confidentiality agreements and similar instruments or payments) and entered into in the
ordinary course of business, (iv) maintenance in the ordinary course of business of reasonable benefit programs or arrangements for employees, officers or directors, including vacation plans, health and life insurance plans, SERPs,
split–dollar life insurance plans, deferred compensation plans, and retirement or savings plans and similar plans as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or Senior Management, (v) any transaction between the Borrower and a
Wholly–Owned Subsidiary or between Wholly–Owned Subsidiaries, (vi) transactions effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Transaction, (vii) any issuance by the Borrower of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) or other
payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans to the extent reasonable, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors in the
ordinary course of business, and loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries consistent with past practices, (viii) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or
purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case, in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement which are fair to the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries or are on terms at least as
favorable as those that would have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated third party, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the Senior Management thereof, and (ix) any agreement as in effect on the Effective
Date or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Lenders in any material respect).

 Section 6.06 Change of Control. 

(a) Require Repayment. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Lender shall have the right to require the Borrower to
repay all or any part of such Lender’s Loans in cash, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the amount repaid, to the date of repayment, any Prepayment Fee then due and any amount due under Section 2.10, if any; provided, however,
that the Borrower shall not be obligated to repay the Loans pursuant to this Section 6.06 to the extent that the Borrower has exercised its right to repay the Loans pursuant to the terms of Section 2.05(a). 

(b) Repayment of Other Indebtedness. In the event that at the time of such Change of Control the terms of any Indebtedness
restrict or prohibit the repayment of the Loans, then prior to the mailing of the notice to Lenders provided for in Section 6.06(c) but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Borrower shall either (i) repay in
full all such Indebtedness or offer to repay in full all such Indebtedness and repay the Indebtedness of each lender who has accepted such offer or (ii) obtain the requisite consent under the agreements governing such Indebtedness to permit the
repayment of the Loans as provided for in Section 6.06(c). The Borrower will first comply with the preceding sentence of this Section 6.06(b) before the Borrower will be required to make the Change of Control Offer or to repay the Loans
pursuant to this Section 6.06; provided, that compliance with this clause (b) will not extend the time periods set forth in Section 6.06(c) for the Borrower to make an offer to repay the Loans in connection with a Change of
Control. 
 (c) Change of Control Offer. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.06(b), within 30 days following any
Change of Control, the Borrower shall mail a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Lender with a copy to the Administrative Agent stating: 
 (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Lender has the right to require the Borrower to repay such Lender’s Loans in cash with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
repayment on the principal amount repaid, together with any Prepayment Fee due with respect thereto and other amounts due under Section 2.10; 
 (ii) the circumstances and relevant facts and financial information regarding such Change of Control; and 
 (iii) the repayment date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). 

(d) Withdrawal of Acceptance. Each Lender will be entitled to withdraw its election if the Borrower receives, not later than one
Business Day prior to the repayment date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter from such Lender setting forth the name of such Lender and a statement that such Lender is withdrawing his election to have its Loans repaid. The Borrower
will advise the Administrative Agent of the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (e) Payment. On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Borrower shall: (i) accept for repayment the Loans or portions thereof offered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, and
(ii) deposit with the Administrative Agent money sufficient to pay the amount of the Loans to be repaid together with the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repayment on the principal amount repaid, any Prepayment Fee due with
respect thereto and other amounts due under Section 2.10. 
 (f) Securities Law Compliance. The Borrower will
comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in 

  
 Page 53

 
connection with the repayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 6.06. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this
Section 6.06, the Borrower will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached obligations of the Borrower described under this Agreement by virtue thereof. 

Section 6.07 Limitation on the Sale or Issuance of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower (i) will not,
and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, transfer, convey, lease, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary to any Person (other than to the Borrower or a Wholly–Owned Subsidiary) and
(ii) will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to issue or sell any shares of its Capital Stock (other than directors’ qualifying shares) to any Person (other than to the Borrower or a Wholly–Owned
Subsidiary); provided, however, that (x) the Borrower is permitted to sell all the Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary as long as the Borrower is in compliance with the terms of Section 6.04 and (y) the Borrower is
permitted to sell less than all of the Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary if (A) immediately after giving effect to such sale such Restricted Subsidiary either continues to be a Restricted Subsidiary or if such Restricted Subsidiary would
no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary then the Investment in such Person remaining after giving effect to such sale would have been permitted to be made under Section 6.01 if made on the date of such issuance or sale and (B) the
Borrower is in compliance with the terms of Section 6.04. In the case of clause (x), such Restricted Subsidiary, if a Subsidiary Guarantor, will be automatically released from all its obligations under this Agreement and its Subsidiary
Guarantee, if all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee under all other Debt Facilities and related documentation and any other agreements relating to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries
terminate upon consummation of such sale. 
 Section 6.08 Limitation on Liens and Guarantees. 

(a) Limitation of Liens. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness on any asset or property of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, including any Guarantee of such Restricted
Subsidiary, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless the Obligations are equally and ratably secured with the obligations so secured (or senior to, in the event the Lien relates to
Subordinated Indebtedness) or until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Liens on assets transferred to a Receivables Entity or on assets of a Receivables Entity incurred in connection with a
Qualified Receivables Transaction will not require such equal and ratable security. 
 (b) Limitation on Issuances of
Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to Guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary unless: 

(i) such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a Joinder Agreement providing for a Subsidiary Guarantee by such
Restricted Subsidiary except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Borrower if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations, any such Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary with
respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Restricted Subsidiary’s Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the Obligations substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the
Obligations; 
 (ii) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Subsidiary Guarantee; and 

  
 Page 54

 (iii) such Restricted Subsidiary shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent,
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) such Joinder Agreement has been duly executed and authorized and (B) this Agreement, as modified by such Joinder Agreement, constitutes a valid, binding and
enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as
enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity; 
 provided that this clause (b) shall not become applicable to any
Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary: 
 (A) that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Borrower and was not Incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or 
 (B) that Guarantees the payment of obligations of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary for Indebtedness having a maturity of less than 365 days or Indebtedness Incurred under clause (b)(i) or (b)(ix)
of Section 6.13 or Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien Incurred exclusively under clause (xvii) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”; provided that such Indebtedness incurred under this clause (B): (1) does not
constitute Subordinated Indebtedness or (2) is not incurred pursuant to a registered offering of securities under the Securities Act or a private placement of securities (including under Rule 144A) pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, which private placement provides for registration rights under the Securities Act. 

Section 6.09 Limitation on Lines of Business. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage
in any business other than a Related Business. 
 Section 6.10 Effectiveness of Covenants. The covenants described
in Sections 6.01, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, 6.07, 6.09 and 6.13 will no longer be in effect upon the Borrower reaching Investment Grade Status. 
 Section 6.11 Merger and Consolidation. 
 (a) Borrower Merger and
Consolidation. The Borrower will not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its assets to, any Person nor
permit any Person to merge with or into the Borrower, unless: 
 (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the
“Successor Borrower”) will be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Borrower (if not the Borrower) will expressly assume, by a
written instrument, executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, all the obligations of the Borrower under the Loans Documents; 

(ii) immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the
Successor Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and
be continuing; 

  
 Page 55

 (iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, either (x) the Successor
Borrower would be able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness under paragraph (a) of Section 6.13 or (y) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Successor Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be equal to or greater
than immediately prior to such transaction; 
 (iv) each Subsidiary Guarantor (unless it is the other party to the transactions
above, in which case clause (i) shall apply) shall have confirmed in writing that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall apply to the Successor Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan Documents; and 

(v) the Borrower will have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate and, upon request of the Administrative
Agent, an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as applicable). 
 For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or
more Subsidiaries of the Borrower, which properties and assets, if held by the Borrower instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to
be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower. The Successor Borrower will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Borrower under the Loan Documents, but the
predecessor Borrower in the case of a conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of its assets will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Loans or any of the other Obligations. Solely for the
purpose of computing amounts described in Section 6.01(a)(iv)(C)(II), (III) and (V), the Successor Borrower shall only be deemed to have succeeded and be substituted for the Borrower with respect to periods subsequent to the effective time of
such merger, consolidation, combination or transfer of assets. Notwithstanding Section 6.11(a) (ii) and (iii) and Section 6.11(b), the Borrower may merge with an Affiliate incorporated exclusively for the purpose of
reincorporating the Borrower in another jurisdiction to realize tax or other benefits. 
 (b) Subsidiary Guarantors. Each
Subsidiary Guarantor will not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its assets to, any Person nor permit any
Person to merge with or into such Subsidiary Guarantor, unless the transaction is made in compliance with Sections 6.04 and 6.07, or 
 (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Guarantor”) will be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia and the Successor Guarantor (if not the Subsidiary Guarantor) will expressly assume in writing all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Loan Documents; 

(ii) immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the
Successor Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and
be continuing; 
 (iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, either (x) the Borrower would be able to
Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness under paragraph (a) of Section 6.13 or (y) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be equal to or greater than immediately prior to such
transaction; 

  
 Page 56

 (iv) each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall have delivered a written instrument in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent confirming its Subsidiary Guarantee and that its obligations under the Loan Documents shall continue to be in effect; and 
 (v) the Borrower will have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate and, upon request of the Administrative Agent, an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation,
merger or transfer and such assumption of the Subsidiary Guarantee, if applicable, comply with this Agreement. 
 For purposes of the foregoing,
the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary Guarantor, which properties and assets
if held by such Subsidiary Guarantor instead of its Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially
all of the properties and assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor. Notwithstanding Section 6.11(a)(ii) and (iii) and Section 6.11(b)(ii), any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties
and assets to the Borrower. 
 Section 6.12 Fiscal Periods. If the Borrower changes the manner of determining the
last day of its Fiscal Year or the last days of the first three fiscal quarters in each of its Fiscal Years, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to agree to modify any financial calculations and determinations hereunder to reflect their
original intent in light of such changes, and if they fail so to agree all such financial calculations determinations hereunder shall continue to be made as if such change had not occurred. 

Section 6.13 Limitation on Indebtedness. 
 (a) Incurrence Test. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided, however, that the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Indebtedness if on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be equal to or greater than 2.00:1.00. 

(b) Additional Permitted Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (a), the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries,
as set forth below, may Incur the following Indebtedness: 
 (i) (A) Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to the Debt Facilities and
(B) the Incurrence by a Receivables Entity of Indebtedness in a Qualified Receivables Transaction that is nonrecourse to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (except for Standard Securitization Undertakings) in an aggregate principal amount
for Indebtedness Incurred under clauses (A) and (B) not to exceed the greater of (x) $2,250,000,000, less the aggregate amount of all repayments of principal actually made under the ABL Credit Facility since the Effective Date of the
Existing Term Loan Agreement with Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions pursuant to clause (a)(iii)(A) of Section 6.04 and (y) the Borrowing Base; 
 (ii) Indebtedness of the Borrower owing to and held by any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Borrower or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary; provided,
however, 

  
 Page 57

 (A) if the Borrower is the obligor of such Indebtedness and a Subsidiary Guarantor is not
the obligee, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations; 
 (B) if a
Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Subsidiary Guarantees of such Subsidiary Guarantor; and 

(C) (x) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Indebtedness ceasing to be
held by the Borrower or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower and (y) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Borrower or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, 

shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be that was not
permitted by this clause (ii). 
 (iii) any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in clauses (i), (ii), (iv),
(v), (vi) or (viii) of this clause (b)) outstanding (A) on the Effective Date, including the Convertible Notes, the Senior Notes due 2013, the Senior Notes due 2017 and the Senior Notes due 2022 then in existence or (B) in the
case of the Prior European Facility, on the Effective Date of the Existing Term Loan Agreement, and any Guarantees related thereto, and any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in respect of any Indebtedness described in this clause (iii) or
paragraph (a) of this Section 6.13; 
 (iv) (A) Indebtedness represented by the Subsidiary Guarantees,
(B) Guarantees by the Borrower of Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries Incurred in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being Guaranteed is Subordinated Indebtedness, then the
related Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations, (C) Guarantees by Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor Incurred in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being Guaranteed is Subordinated Indebtedness or Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, then the related Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations or the
Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, and (D) Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (i) above; 

(v) Indebtedness in respect of performance, surety or appeal bonds provided in the ordinary course of business; 

(vi) Indebtedness under Hedging Obligations; provided, however, that such Hedging Obligations are entered into for bona fide hedging
purposes of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business; 
 (vii) Indebtedness (in addition to
Indebtedness described in clauses (i) and (iii)) of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary attributable to Capitalized Lease Obligations, or Incurred to finance the acquisition, construction or improvement of fixed or capital assets, or
constituting Attributable Debt in respect of Sale/Leaseback Transactions, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, since the Effective Date of the Existing Term Loan Agreement, together with any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect
to any such Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (vii), not to exceed the greater of (x) $100,000,000 and (y) 1.5% of Total Assets; 
 (viii) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary issued and outstanding on or prior to the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than
Indebtedness Incurred (A) as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of 

  
 Page 58

 
the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired
by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary or (B) otherwise in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition) and any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto; provided, however, that on the date of any such acquisition of a
Restricted Subsidiary and after giving effect to such acquisition and the Incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (viii), either (A) the Borrower shall have been able to Incur at least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness under
paragraph (a) above, or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be equal to or greater than immediately prior to such acquisition; 

(ix) Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all
other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (ix) since the Effective Date of the Existing Term Loan Agreement and then outstanding, together with any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to any such Indebtedness Incurred under this
clause (ix), will not in the aggregate exceed the greater of (x) $400,000,000 and (y) the Foreign Borrowing Base; and 
 (x) Indebtedness (in addition to Indebtedness described in clauses (i)-(ix)) in an aggregate principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred
pursuant to this clause (x) since the Effective Date of the Existing Term Loan Agreement and then outstanding, together with any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to any such Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (x), shall not exceed the
greater of (A) $150,000,000 or (B) 2.0% of Total Assets. 
 (c) Limitation of Refinancing by Borrower of
Subordinated Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will not Incur any Indebtedness pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (b) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to refinance any Subordinated
Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness (i) will be subordinated to the Obligations to at least the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness and (ii) will not mature prior to the Stated Maturity of the Indebtedness to be refinanced or
refunded, and the Average Life of such new Indebtedness is at least equal to the remaining Average Life of the Indebtedness to be refinanced or refunded. 
 (d) Limitation of Refinancing by a Subsidiary Guarantor of Subordinated Indebtedness and Indebtedness of Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries. No Subsidiary Guarantor will Incur any Indebtedness
if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to refinance any Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Indebtedness will be subordinated to the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its
Subsidiary Guarantee to at least the same extent as such Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness. No Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) may Incur any Indebtedness if the proceeds are used to refinance Indebtedness of the Borrower
or a Subsidiary Guarantor, except to the extent that the Indebtedness of the Borrower so refinanced consists of the Guarantee of Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary. 

(e) Limitation on Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to Incur any Indebtedness
other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness; provided, however, if any such Indebtedness ceases to be Non-Recourse Indebtedness, such event shall be deemed to constitute an Incurrence of Indebtedness by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary. 

(f) Determining Compliance with this Section 6.13. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section, in the event
that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in this Section, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Indebtedness on the Effective Date or on the date of
Incurrence and may later reclassify such 

  
 Page 59

 
item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness under one of such clauses. The incurrence of
Indebtedness represented by the Loans and all Indebtedness outstanding on the Effective Date of the Existing Term Loan Agreement under the ABL Credit Facility shall be deemed initially Incurred on the Effective Date of the Existing Term Loan
Agreement under clause (i) of the paragraph (b) of this Section 6.13. 
 (g) Dollar Equivalents. For
purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the
relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance
other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing,
such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Borrower may Incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of
any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing
Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
 Section 6.14 Minimum Interest Coverage
Ratio. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on or about January 27, 2013, and as of each fiscal quarter thereafter, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.75 to 1.00. 

ARTICLE VII 
 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE 
 Section 7.01 Guaranty. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Subsidiary Guarantee) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders
the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Obligations and all costs and expenses including all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including
allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) (which obligation in respect of counsel shall be limited to one counsel for the Administrative Agent and one counsel for the Lenders, unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest, in
which case each Lender shall be entitled to its own counsel, as well as, in each case, other special and local counsel) and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the
Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any
such extension or renewal. All terms of this Subsidiary Guarantee apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

Section 7.02 Guaranty of Payment. This Subsidiary Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to sue the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any other Obligor, or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations. 

  
 Page 60

 Section 7.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Subsidiary Guarantee. Except as
otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full
in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any
change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding
affecting any Obligor, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligor; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Subsidiary Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligor,
the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions. 

Section 7.04 No Setoff or Counterclaim. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense
or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit
payment by any Obligor, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. 
 Section 7.05 No Impairment. Further,
the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all
or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or
direct security for the obligations of the Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or
equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations). 
 Section 7.06 Defenses
Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be
taken by any person against any Obligor, or any other person. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligor or exercise any other right or
remedy available to it against any Obligor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in
cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Subsidiary Guarantor against any Obligor or any security. 

  
 Page 61

 Section 7.07 Rights of Subrogation. No Subsidiary Guarantor will assert any
right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligor, until the Obligors and the Subsidiary Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 
 Section 7.08 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any
payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this
Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are in possession of this Subsidiary Guarantee. If acceleration of
the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed
Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender. 
 Section 7.09
Information. Each Subsidiary Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Subsidiary Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Subsidiary Guarantee, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any
Subsidiary Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks. 
 Section 7.10 Taxes. All
payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Subsidiary Guarantor free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to deduct
or withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Subsidiary Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such
Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 Section 7.11 Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Subsidiary Guarantee are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or
unenforceable on account of the amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability under this Subsidiary Guarantee, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Subsidiary Guarantee to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without
any further action by the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the
relevant Subsidiary Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to
avoidance under applicable law, and no Subsidiary Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the 

  
 Page 62

 
Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor without impairing this Subsidiary Guarantee or affecting the rights and
remedies of the Lenders hereunder; provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability. 

Section 7.12 Contribution. In the event any Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Paying Subsidiary Guarantor”) shall
make any payment or payments under this Subsidiary Guarantee, each other Subsidiary Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Subsidiary Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Subsidiary Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying
Subsidiary Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made by such Paying Subsidiary Guarantor. For purposes of this Article VII, each Non-Paying Subsidiary Guarantor’s “Applicable
Percentage” with respect to any such payment by a Paying Subsidiary Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Subsidiary Guarantor’s Maximum
Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Subsidiary Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all
monies received by such Non-Paying Subsidiary Guarantor from the Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder (including such
Paying Subsidiary Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Subsidiary Guarantor, the
aggregate amount of all monies received by such Subsidiary Guarantors from the Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Subsidiary Guarantor’s several
liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors covenant and agree that its right to receive any contribution under this Subsidiary Guarantee
from a Non-Paying Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Subsidiary Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof. 

Section 7.13 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Obligor as a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article VII is in
addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Obligor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Obligor is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities
of the other Obligors, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. 

Section 7.14 Release. A Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and the
other Loan Documents to which it is a party if all the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. Upon the sale or disposition of a Subsidiary Guarantor (by merger, consolidation, the sale of its Capital Stock or the sale of all or substantially all
of its assets (other than by lease)) and whether or not the Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving corporation in such transaction, to a Person which is not the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically and
unconditionally released from all its obligations under this Agreement and its Subsidiary Guarantee, such Subsidiary Guarantee will terminate if (x) the sale or other disposition is in compliance with this Agreement, including Section 6.04
(it being understood that only such portion of the Net Available Cash as is required to be applied on or before the date of such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement needs to be applied in accordance therewith at such time),
Section 6.07 and Section 6.11 and (y) all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under all Debt Facilities and related documentation and any other agreements relating to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or its Restricted
Subsidiaries terminate upon consummation of such transaction. Each Subsidiary Guarantor 

  
 Page 63

 
will be released from its obligations under this Agreement and its Subsidiary Guarantee to which it is a party if the Borrower designated such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary
and such designation complies with the other applicable provisions of this Agreement. Without the consent or other agreement of any Lender, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release a Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall release such Subsidiary
Guarantor, upon the delivery of an Officers’ Certificate certifying in writing to the Administrative Agent that the conditions for such release described in Section 6.07 or this Section 7.14 have been satisfied. To the extent the
Administrative Agent is required to execute any release documents in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall do so promptly upon requests of the Borrower without the consent or further agreement of any
Lender. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 EVENTS OF DEFAULT 
 If any of the following events (“Events of Default”) shall

 (b) the Borrower defaults in the payment of the principal of any Loan when the
same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise; 
 (c) any
representation, warranty or certification made or deemed made by or on behalf of any Obligor in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendment or modification hereof or thereof or waiver hereunder or thereunder, or

(b)) and such failure continues for 30 days after the Borrower receives written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent (which notice will be given at the request of any Lender); 

(f) the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor defaults in the performance of or a breach by the Borrower of any other covenant or
agreement in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than those referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above), and such default continues for a period of 60 days after the Borrower receives written notice thereof from
the Administrative Agent (which notice will be given at the request of any Lender); 
 (g) the failure by any Subsidiary
Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (if any) to comply with its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, after any applicable grace period; 
 (h) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is accelerated by the holders thereof if the total amount of such

 Page 64

 (i) the Borrower or a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any
Bankruptcy Law: 
 (i) commences a voluntary case; 
 (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 
 (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or 
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 
 (v) takes

or 
 (iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary; or

 (k) any judgment or decree for the payment of money in excess of $25,000,000 or its foreign currency equivalent at the time
in the aggregate for all such final judgments or orders against the Borrower or a Significant Subsidiary if (i) an enforcement proceeding thereon is commenced and not discharged within ten days or (ii) such judgment or decree remains
outstanding for a period of 60 days following such judgment or decree and is not discharged, waived, stayed or bonded; and 

(l) the failure of any Subsidiary Guarantee entered into by Subsidiary Guarantor (if any) that is a Significant Subsidiary to be in full
force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or the denial or disaffirmation by any such Subsidiary Guarantor of its obligations under any Subsidiary Guarantee if such Default continues for 30 days; 

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (i) or (j) of this Article), and at any time
thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case
any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all other fees and other
obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without 

  
 Page 65

 
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (i) or
(j) of this Article, the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all other fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because
an Event of Default set forth in clause (h) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (h) shall be
remedied or cured by the Borrower and/or the relevant Significant Subsidiaries or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto. In addition, if any Event of Default
shall exist, the Administrative Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies afforded by applicable law, by any of the Loan Documents, by equity, or otherwise. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

Section 9.01 Appointment. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent (and hereby
continues the agency created under the Existing Term Loan Agreement) and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The bank
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 

Section 9.03 Limitation of Duties and Immunities. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of
Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or 

  
 Page 66

 
genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.04 Event of Default;
Direction of the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action (subject to Section 10.02(b) hereof and subject to the right of the Administrative Agent to receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders
of their indemnification obligations under Section 10.03(c) hereof against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action) with respect to the notice of a Default or Event of
Default referred to in the preceding section as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such notice of Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such
action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders. 
 Section 9.05 Reliance on Third Parties. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not
be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

Section 9.06 Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.07 Successor Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

 Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments.

any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. 

(b) Amendment to Loan Documents. Neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Obligors and the Required Lenders (and if applicable, the other parties thereto); provided, that no such agreement shall:

written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 
 (ii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any
Loan or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,

of each Lender, or 

  
 Page 69

 (v) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any Subsidiary Guarantee without the written
consent of each Lender except as specifically permitted hereby; 
 provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify
or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity: Damage Waiver. 
 (a)
Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in
connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated)
and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of
its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.03, or in connection with the Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring
or negotiations in respect of such Loans. 
 (b) Indemnification by Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the
Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 
 (c)
Indemnification by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. 
 (d) No Consequential Damages, etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Obligor shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the
use of the proceeds thereof. 

  
 Page 70

 (e) Payment Due Dates. All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable
promptly after written demand therefor. 
 Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment
or transfer by an Obligor without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.04. Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)
Assignment by Lenders. 
 (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one
or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of: 

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for
an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VIII has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and

 (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided, that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under
clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VIII has occurred and is continuing, if any; 
 (B) each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 

  
 Page 71

 (D) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire. 
 For the purposes of this Section 10.04, “Approved Fund” means any Person
(other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an
affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.09, Section 2.10, Section 2.11, and Section 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04
shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 10.04. 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by
paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless
it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (c) Participations. (i) Any Lender may,
without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations and (C) the Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any 

  
 Page 72

 
amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) and (2) directly affects
such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.09, Section 2.10 and Section 2.11 to the same extent as if it
were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a
Lender; provided, such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.12(e) as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, any bank or other lending institution that is a member of the Farm Credit
System that (A) has purchased a participation or sub-participation in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 on or after the Effective Date, (B) is, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (“Voting Participant
Notification”), designated by the selling Lender as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a Voting Participant hereunder (any bank or other lending institution that is a member of the Farm Credit System so designated being called a
“Voting Participant”) and (C) receives the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to become a Voting Participant, shall be entitled to vote (and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be
correspondingly reduced), on a dollar for dollar basis, as if such participant or sub-participant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action. To be
effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall, with respect to any Voting Participant, (1) state the full name, as well as all contact information required of an Assignee in any Administrative Questionnaire and (2) state the dollar
amount of the participation or sub-participation purchased. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph. 

(d) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.09 or Section 2.11 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Any Participant that would be a
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.11(e) as though it were a Lender. 

(e) Pledges by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or the Farm Credit Funding Corp. or to any other entity organized under the Farm Credit Act, as amended, and this
Section 10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (f) No Assignments to Borrower and Affiliates. Anything in this
Section 10.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower or any Affiliates or Subsidiaries of the Borrower without the prior consent of each Lender.

 Section 10.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Obligor herein and
in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee

  
 Page 73

 
or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Section 2.09, Section 2.10, Section 2.11 and Section 10.03 and Article IX
shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with
respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject
matter hereof. Subject to Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together,
bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing Term Loan Agreement. The execution of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents executed in connection herewith does not extinguish the Obligations outstanding in connection with the Existing Term Loan Agreement nor does it constitute a novation with respect to such Obligations. For all matters arising prior to the
Effective Date (including, the accrual and payment of interest and fees, and matters relating to indemnification and compliance with financial covenants), the terms of the Existing Term Loan Agreement (as unmodified by this Agreement) shall control
and are hereby ratified and confirmed. Borrower represents and warrants that as of the Effective Date there are no claims or offsets against or rights of recoupment with respect to or defenses or counterclaims to its obligations under the Existing
Term Loan Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that the term “Credit Agreement” as used in each Loan Document means the Existing Term Loan Agreement as
amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement. 
 Section 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this
Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or
the account of any Obligor against any of and all the obligations of the applicable Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 

Section 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with, and this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and all matters arising out of or relating in any way whatsoever to the Loan Documents (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall 

  
 Page 74

 
be governed by, the law of the State of New York, other than those conflict of law provisions that would defer to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. This governing law election has
been made by the parties in reliance (at least in part) on Section 5–1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, as amended (as and to the extent applicable), and other applicable law. 

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD
AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions
by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against any Obligor the or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Waiver of Forum
Matters. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of
an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Service of Process. Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law. 
 Section 10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10. 

Section 10.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference
only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 Section 10.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be

  
 Page 75

 
disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12, (i) to
any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap
or derivative transaction relating to any Obligor, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.12 or
(ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than an Obligor. For the purposes of this Section 10.12, “Information” means all information received from any
Obligor relating to any Obligor’s business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided, that, in the case of
information received from an Obligor after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.12
shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Section 10.13 Acknowledgments. Each Obligor acknowledges that: 

(a) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to any Obligor arising out of or
in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the one hand, and each Obligor, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of
debtor and creditor; and 
 (b) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue
of the transactions contemplated hereby among any party or parties hereto. 
 Section 10.14 Construction. The
Obligors, the Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledges that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review the Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that the Loan
Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the parties thereto. 
 Section 10.15 Independence of
Covenants. All covenants under the Loan Documents shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise
within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists. 
 Section 10.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Obligors that pursuant to the requirements of

 SMITHFIELD FOODS, INC. 

TERM LOAN AGREEMENT 
 DISCLOSED MATTERS 
 Part A 

Litigation Disclosures 
 Missouri Nuisance Litigation 
 Premium Standard Farms, Inc. (PSF), the Company and certain
of the Borrower’s other subsidiaries are parties to litigation in Missouri involving a number of claims alleging that hog farms owned or under contract with the defendants interfered with the plaintiffs’ use and enjoyment of their
properties. This item was previously disclosed in Note 16 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in the Borrower’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended, April 29, 2012. 

During fiscal 2012 and continuing in fiscal 2013, the Borrower engaged in global settlement negotiations with counsel representing nearly all of the
plaintiffs in the nuisance litigation and numerous carriers of commercial general liability and pollution liability policies. The parties to the litigation have reached an agreement and consummated a global settlement that resolves the vast majority
of the nuisance litigation. Pursuant to the agreement, all pending cases previously disclosed, with the exception of the case entitled Garold McDaniel, et al. v. PSF, et al., in the Circuit Court of Daviess County, Missouri, will be dismissed
with prejudice. In addition, the Borrower has agreements with the insurance carriers under which it receives payments that it contributes to pay a portion of the settlement, most of which were contingent on the consummation of the global settlement.

 Although the Borrower recognizes the uncertainties of litigation, based on the Borrower’s historical experience and the Borrower’s
understanding of the facts and circumstances underlying the McDaniel case, it believes that the McDaniel case will not have a material adverse effect on the Borrower’s results of operations or financial condition. 

Part B 
 Environmental Disclosures 
 Like other participants in the industry, the Borrower is
subject to various laws and regulations administered by federal, state and other government entities, including the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and corresponding state agencies, as well as similar agencies in foreign
countries. The Borrower believes that it currently is in compliance with these laws and regulations in all material respects and that continued compliance with these laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on the
Borrower’s financial position or results of operations. 
 Water  
 In March 2011, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit overturned EPA’s November 2008 rule requiring that confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) that
“discharge or propose to discharge” apply for permit coverage under the Clean Water Act’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

  
 Page 1

 
(NPDES). The Fifth Circuit’s decision (which held that only discharging CAFOs have a duty to apply for NPDES permit coverage) has clarified the extent of the
Borrower’s obligations under the NPDES permit program. EPA has not yet proposed or finalized a rule in response to the Fifth Circuit’s decision, and it is not clear whether any such action may attempt to impose additional
obligations on the Borrower’s hog production operations. 
 In a related matter, in October 2011, EPA proposed a rule pursuant to the Clean
Water Act and a settlement agreement with certain activist groups that would require CAFOs to provide data on their operations to the agency. 

Air
 During calendar year 2002, the
National Academy of Sciences (the Academy) undertook a study at EPA’s request to assist EPA in considering possible future regulation of air emissions from animal feeding operations. The Academy’s study identified a need for more research
and better information, but also recommended implementing without delay technically and economically feasible management practices to decrease emissions. Further, the Borrower’s hog production subsidiaries have accepted EPA’s offer to
enter into an administrative consent agreement and order with owners and operators of hog farms and other animal production operations. Under the terms of the consent agreement and order, participating owners and operators agreed to pay a penalty,
contribute towards the cost of an air emissions monitoring study and make their farms available for monitoring. In return, participating farms have been given immunity from federal civil enforcement actions alleging violations of air emissions
requirements under certain federal statutes, including the Clean Air Act. Pursuant to the Borrower’s consent agreement and order, the Borrower paid a $100,000 penalty to EPA. Premium Standard Farm, Inc.’s (PSF) Texas farms and
company-owned farms in North Carolina also agreed to participate in this program. The National Pork Board, of which the Borrower is a member and financial contributor, paid the costs of the air emissions monitoring study on behalf of all hog
producers, including us, out of funds collected from its members in previous years. The cost of the study for all hog producers was approximately $6.0 million. Monitoring under the study began in the spring 2007 and ended in the winter 2010.
EPA made the data available to the public in January 2011 and also issued a Call for Information seeking additional emissions data to ensure it considers the broadest range of available scientific data as it develops improved methodologies for
estimating emissions. EPA will review the data to develop emissions estimating methodologies where site-specific information is unavailable. Although EPA announced in 2010 that it anticipated making the draft emission estimation methodologies
available for public comment by animal type, beginning with the methodology for broilers in early 2011, to date it has not done so. The agency anticipates finalizing the methodologies in June 2012 (fiscal 2013). New regulations governing air
emissions from animal agriculture operations are likely to emerge from the monitoring program undertaken pursuant to the consent agreement and order. There can be no assurance that any new regulations that may be proposed to address air emissions
from animal feeding operations will not have a material adverse effect on the Borrower’s financial position or results of operations. 

Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and Climate Change  
 In calendar year 2009, EPA finalized its Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) rule, which requires owners or operators of certain facilities (including facilities that contain a manure
management system) that emit at least 25,000 metric tons or more of GHGs per year to report their emissions. Although EPA has not been implementing the rule as it applies to manure management systems due to a congressional restriction prohibiting
the expenditure of funds for this purpose, there is no assurance that this prohibition will not be lifted in the future. Should that occur, the rule would impose additional costs on the Borrower’s hog production operations; however, it is not
expected that such costs would have a material adverse effect on the Borrower’s hog production operations. 

  
 Page 2

 The EPA finalized regulations in calendar year 2010 under the Clean Air Act, which may trigger new source
review and permitting requirements for certain sources of GHG emissions. These rulemakings are all subject to judicial appeals. There may also be changes in applicable state law pertaining to the regulation of GHGs. Several states have taken steps
to require the reduction of GHGs by certain companies and public utilities, primarily through the planned development of GHG inventories and/or regional GHG cap and trade programs and targeted enforcement. 

As in virtually every industry, GHG emissions occur at several points across the Borrower’s operations, including production, transportation and
processing. Compliance with future legislation, if any, and compliance with currently evolving regulation of GHGs by EPA and the states may result in increased compliance costs, capital expenditures, and operating costs. In the event that any future
compliance requirements at any of the Borrower’s facilities require more than the sustainability measures that the Borrower is currently undertaking to monitor emissions and improve the Borrower’s energy efficiency, the Borrower may
experience significant increases in the Borrower’s costs of operation. Such costs may include the cost to purchase offsets or allowances and costs to reduce GHG emissions if such reductions are required. These regulatory changes may also lead
to higher cost of goods and services which may be passed on to the Borrower by suppliers. 
 As an agriculture-based company, changes to the
climate and weather patterns could also affect key inputs to the Borrower’s business as the result of shifts in temperatures, water availability, precipitation, and other factors. Both the cost and availability of corn and other feed crops, for
example, could be affected. The regulation or taxation of carbon emissions could also affect the prices of commodities, energy, and other inputs to the Borrower’s business. The Borrower believes there could also be opportunities for
it as a result of heightened interest in alternative energy sources, including those derived from manure, and participation in carbon markets. However, it is not possible at this time to predict the complete structure or outcome of any future
legislative efforts to address GHG emissions and climate change, whether EPA’s regulatory efforts will survive court challenge, or the eventual cost to the Borrower of compliance. There can be no assurance that GHG regulation will not have a
material adverse effect on the Borrower’s financial position or results of operations. 
 Regulatory and Other Proceedings 

 From time to time the Borrower receives notices from regulatory authorities and others asserting that it is not in compliance with certain
environmental laws and regulations. In some instances, litigation ensues.
 In March 2006 (fiscal 2006), the Borrower entered into a consent
decree that settled two citizen lawsuits alleging among other things violations of certain environmental laws. The consent decree provides, among other things, that the Borrower’s subsidiary, Murphy-Brown LLC, will undertake a series of
measures designed to enhance the performance of the swine waste management systems on approximately 244 company-owned farms in North Carolina and thereby reduce the potential for surface water or ground water contamination from these farms.
Murphy-Brown has successfully completed a number of the measures called for in the consent decree and expects to fulfill its remaining consent decree obligations over the next year, at which time it will move
for termination of the decree. 
 Prior to the Borrower’s acquisition of PSF, it had entered into a consent judgment with the
State of Missouri and a consent decree with the federal government and a citizens group. The judgment and decree generally required that PSF pay penalties to settle past alleged regulatory violations, utilize new technologies to reduce nitrogen in
the material that it applies to farm fields and research, and develop and implement “Next Generation Technology” for environmental controls at certain of its Missouri farm operations. PSF has successfully completed measures
called for in the state judgment, in part, by 

  
 Page 3

 
installing “Next Generation Technology” and expects to move for termination of the judgment within calendar year 2012. PSF has also completed a number of the measures called for in the
federal consent decree and expects to fulfill its remaining consent decree obligations over the next year, at which time it will move for termination of the decree. 

Environmental Stewardship  
 In July
2000, in furtherance of the Borrower’s continued commitment to responsible environmental stewardship, the Borrower and its North Carolina-based hog production subsidiaries voluntarily entered into an agreement with the Attorney General of North
Carolina (the Agreement) designed to enhance water quality in the State of North Carolina through a series of initiatives to be undertaken by the Borrower and its subsidiaries while protecting access to swine operations in North Carolina. One of the
features of the Agreement reflects the Borrower’s commitment to preserving and enhancing the environment of eastern North Carolina by providing a total of $50.0 million to assist in the preservation of wetlands and other natural areas in
eastern North Carolina and to promote similar environmental enhancement activities. To fulfill the Borrower’s commitment, the Borrower made annual contributions of $2.0 million beginning in fiscal 2001 through fiscal 2010. Due to the losses the
Borrower was experiencing in its Hog Production segment in fiscal 2010, the Borrower entered into an agreement with the Attorney General of North Carolina to defer the Borrower’s annual payments in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012. This agreement
does not reduce the Borrower’s $50.0 million commitment, and the Borrower expects to re-start its annual $2.0 million payment in fiscal 2013.
