Securities Corp., as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners (the “Arrangers”), are parties to a Term Loan Agreement dated as of June 10, 2014 (the “Original Loan Agreement”). Any capitalized term used in
this Amendment that is not otherwise defined herein, either directly or by reference to another document, shall have the meaning for purposes of this Amendment as it is given in the Original Loan Agreement. 

B. Contemporaneously herewith, the Original Loan Agreement is being amended by (i) a certain Consent and First Amendment to Term Loan
Agreement (the “First Loan Agreement Amendment”) and (ii) Second Amendment to Term Loan Agreement (the “Second Loan Agreement Amendment”; as so amended by the First Loan Agreement Amendment and the Second Loan
Agreement Amendment, and as it may from time to time be further amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Loan Agreement”). 

C. Mortgagor is a Subsidiary of the Borrower and as such has received substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extension of credit and
other financial accommodations made to the Borrower and the Subsidiaries evidenced by the Original Loan Agreement, and Mortgagor will continue to do so from the extension of credit and other financial accommodations to be made pursuant to the Loan
Agreement. 
 D. The Mortgagor executed and delivered to the Agent a Guaranty of even date with the Original Loan Agreement, and
contemporaneously herewith is reaffirming such Guaranty (as originally executed, as so reaffirmed and as it may from time to time be amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Guaranty”), pursuant to which the Mortgagor has
guarantied the obligations of the Borrower with respect to the loans made under the Loan Agreement (the “Loans”) and the other extensions of credit and financial accommodations made under each of the other Loan Documents, (together
with the Loans, collectively, the “Guarantied Obligations”). 
 E. To secure the Guarantied Obligations, the Mortgagor
executed and delivered a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement, and Fixture Filing Statement of even date with the Original Loan Agreement (the “Original Mortgage”) to BNPP. The Original Mortgage was recorded
in the real property records of Ottertail County, Minnesota on June 11, 2014 as Document No. 1144608. The Original Mortgage encumbers certain real property situated in such County and State and is legally described in Exhibit A
hereto (the “Original Secured Property”). 
 F. It is a condition to the effectiveness of the First Loan Agreement
Amendment that the Mortgagor execute and deliver this Amendment to confirm that the Original Mortgage, as amended hereby and as it may from time to time be further amended, restated or otherwise modified continues to secure the Guarantied
Obligations and all direct obligations of the Mortgagor with respect to the Loans (collectively, the “Obligations Secured”).
