 See Addendum Paragraph #51. 
  
 See Addendum Paragraph #51. 
  
 2.5 Lessee as Prior Owner/Occupant. The warranties made by Lessor in Paragraph 2 shall be of no force or effect if immediately prior to the Start Date
Lessee was the owner or occupant of the Premises. In such event, Lessee shall be responsible for any necessary corrective work. 
  
 3. Term. 
  
 3.1 Term. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term of this Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3. 
  
 Not Applicable. 
  
 4. Rent. 
  
 4.1. Rent Defined.
All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this Lease (except for the Security Deposit) are deemed to be rent (“Rent”). 
  
 4.2 Payment. Lessee shall cause payment of Rent to be received by Lessor in lawful money of the United States, without offset or deduction (except as
specifically permitted in this Lease), on or before the day on which it is due. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one (1) full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of said month.
Payment of Rent shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other persons or place as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing. Acceptance of a payment which is less than the amount then due shall not be a waiver of
Lessor’s rights to the balance of such Rent, regardless of Lessor’s endorsement of any check so stating. 
  
 5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the Security Deposit as security for Lessee’s faithful performance of its obligations
under this Lease. If Lessee fails to pay Rent, or otherwise Defaults under this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due Lessor or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any
liability, expense, loss or damage which Lessor may suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of said Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written request therefor deposit monies with Lessor
sufficient to restore said Security Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. If the Base Rent increases during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor, deposit additional monies with Lessor so that the total
amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear the same proportion to the increased Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bore to the initial Base Rent. Should the Agreed Use be amended to accommodate a material change in the business of
Lessee or to accommodate a sublessee or assignee, Lessor shall have the right to increase the Security Deposit to the extent necessary, in Lessor’s reasonable judgment, to account for any increased wear and tear that the Premises may suffer as
a result thereof. If a change in control of Lessee occurs during this Lease and following such change the financial condition of Lessee is, in Lessor’s reasonable judgment, significantly reduced, Lessee shall deposit such additional monies with
Lessor as shall be sufficient to cause the Security Deposit to be at a commercially reasonable level based on said change in financial condition. Lessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. Within
fourteen (14) days after the expiration or termination of this Lease, if Lessor elects to apply the Security Deposit only to unpaid Rent, and otherwise within thirty (30) days after the Premises have been vacated pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(c) below,
Lessor shall return that portion of the Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. No part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this
Lease. 
  
 6. Use. 
  
 6.1 Use. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the Agreed Use, or any other legal use which is reasonably
comparable thereto, and for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises in a manner that is unlawful, creates damage, waste or a nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage to neighboring
properties. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any written request for a modification of the Agreed Use, so long as the same will not impair the structural integrity of the improvements on the Premises or the mechanical
or electrical systems therein, is not significantly more burdensome to the Premises. If Lessor elects to withhold consent, Lessor shall within five (5) business days after such request give written notification of same, which notice shall include an
explanation of Lessor’s objections to the change in use.

potential liability of Lessor to any governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute or common law theory. Hazardous Substances shall include, but not be limited to, hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, and/or crude oil or any
products, by-products or fractions thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or on the Premises which constitutes a Reportable Use of Hazardous Substances without the express prior written consent of Lessor and timely compliance (at
Lessee’s expense) with all Applicable Requirements. “Reportable Use” shall mean (i) the installation or use of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a

Fixtures, and Lessee’s personal property shall be insured by Lessee under Paragraph 8.4 rather than by Lessor. If the coverage is available and commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all risks of direct physical
loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake unless required by a Lender), including coverage for debris removal and the enforcement of any Applicable Requirements requiring the upgrading, demolition, reconstruction or replacement of
any portion of the Premises as the result of a covered loss. Said policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause, waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard protection causing an increase in the

coinsurance clause, and the amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected Rent otherwise payable by Lessee, for the next twelve (12) month period. Lessee shall be liable for any deductible amount in the event of such loss.

  
 (c) Adjacent Premises. If the Premises

Lessor certified copies of policies of such insurance or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of the required insurance. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Lessor. Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days’ prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or “insurance binders” evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such insurance and charge the
cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand. Such policies shall be for a term of at least one year, or the length of the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less. If either Party shall fail to
procure and maintain the insurance required to be carried by it, the other Party may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same. 
  
 8.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or remedies, Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive their
entire right to recover damages against the other, for loss of or damage to its property arising out of or incident to the perils required to be insured against herein. The effect of such releases and waivers is not limited by the amount of
insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable hereto. The Parties agree to have their respective property damage insurance carriers waive any right to subrogation that such companies may have against Lessor or Lessee, as the case
may be, so long as the insurance is not invalidated thereby. 
  
 8.7 Indemnity. Except for Lessor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor’s master or ground lessor, partners and Lenders, from
and against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or damages, liens, judgments, penalties, attorneys’ and consultants’ fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection with, the use and/or occupancy of the
Premises by Lessee. If any action or proceeding is brought against Lessor by reason of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee shall upon notice defend the same at Lessee’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor shall
cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor need not have first paid any such claim in order to be defended or indemnified. 
  
 8.8 Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessor shall not be liable for injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of
Lessee, Lessee’s employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage,
obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, HVAC or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether the said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of
the Building of which the Premises are a part, or from other sources or places. Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant of Lessor. Notwithstanding Lessor’s negligence or breach of this
Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee’s business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom. 
  
 9. Damage or Destruction. 
  
 9.1 Definitions. 
  
 (a) “Premises Partial Damage” shall mean damage or destruction to the improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations, which can reasonably be repaired in six (6) months or less from the date of the damage or destruction. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the damage or destruction as
to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total. 
  
 (b) “Premises Total Destruction” shall mean damage or destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which cannot reasonably be repaired in six (6) months or less
from the date of the damage or destruction. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total. 
  
 (c) “Insured Loss” shall mean damage or
destruction to improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be covered by the insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a), irrespective of any
deductible amounts or coverage limits involved. 
  
 (d) “Replacement Cost” shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their condition existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris removal and
upgrading required by the operation of Applicable Requirements, and without deduction for depreciation. 
  
 (e) “Hazardous Substance Condition” shall mean the occurrence or discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a
contamination by a Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on, or under the Premises. 
  
 9.2 Partial Damage - Insured Loss. If a Premises Partial Damage that is an insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor’s expense, repair such
damage (but not Lessee’s Trade Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at Lessor’s
election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total cost to repair of which is $10,000 or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall make any applicable insurance proceeds available to Lessee on a reasonable basis for that purpose.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required insurance was not in force or the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such repair, the insuring Party shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds (except as to the deductible which is
Lessee’s responsibility) as and when required to complete said repairs. In the event, however, such shortage was due to the fact that, by reason of the unique nature of the improvements, full replacement cost insurance coverage was not
commercially reasonable and available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with the funds to cover same, or adequate
assurance thereof, within ten (10) days following receipt of written notice of such shortage and request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof within said ten (10) day period, the party responsible for making the
repairs shall complete them as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If such funds or assurance are not received, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter
to: (i) make such restoration and repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, or have this Lease terminate thirty (30) days thereafter. Lessee
shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such damage or destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3, notwithstanding that there may be some
insurance coverage, but the net proceeds of any such insurance shall be made available for the repairs if made by either Party. 
  
 9.3 Partial Damage - Uninsured Loss. if a Premises Partial Damage that is not an insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful ___ of
Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee’s expense), Lessor may either: (i) direct Lessee to repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessee’s expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage. 
  
 9.4 Total Destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a Premises Total Destruction occurs, this Lease shall
terminate sixty (60) days following such Destruction. If the damage or destruction was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor’s damages from Lessee, except as provided in
Paragraph 8.6. 
  
 9.5 Damage Near End of Term. If at any time
during the last six (6) months of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair exceeds one (1) month’s Base Rent, whether or not an insured Loss, Lessor may terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the date of
occurrence of such damage by giving a written termination notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable option to extend this Lease or
to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may preserve this Lease by, (a) exercising such option and (b)

providing Lessor with any shortage in insurance ________ (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to _______ on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is
ten days after Lessee’s receipt of Lessor’s written notice purporting to terminate this Lease, or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor
with funds (or adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessor’s commercially reasonable expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. If Lessee falls to exercise such option and provide such funds or assurance during such period, then this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the termination notice and Lessee’s option shall be extinguished. 
  
 9.6 Abatement of Rent; Lessee’s Remedies. 
  
 (a) Abatement. In the event of Premises Partial Damage or
Premises Total Destruction or a Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not responsible under this Lease, the Rent payable by Lessee for the period required for the repair, remediation or restoration of such damage shall be abated in
proportion to the degree to which Lessee’s use of the Premises is impaired, but not to exceed the proceeds received from the Rental Value insurance. All other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessor shall have
no liability for any such damage, destruction, remediation, repair or restoration except as provided herein. 
  
 (b) Remedies. If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises and does not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way,
such repair or restoration within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual
notice, of Lessee’s election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days thereafter,
this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If the repair or restoration is commenced within said thirty (30) days, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. “Commence” shall mean either the unconditional
authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever first occurs. 
  
 9.7 Termination - Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 6.2(g) or Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made
concerning advance Base Rent and any other advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee’s Security Deposit as has not been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor. 

 
 9.8 Waive Statutes. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this Lease
shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises with respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive the provisions of any present or future statute to the extent inconsistent herewith. 
  
 10. Real Property Taxes. 
  
 10.1 Definition of “Real Property Taxes.” As used herein, the term “Real Property Taxes” shall include
any form of assessment; real estate, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, or rental levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes); improvement bond; and/or license fee imposed upon or levied against any legal or
equitable interest of Lessor in the Premises, Lessor’s right to other income therefrom, and/or Lessor’s business of leasing, by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax and where the funds are generated with reference to
the Building address and where the proceeds so generated are to be applied by the city, county or other local taxing authority of a jurisdiction within which the Premises are located. The term “Real Property Taxes” shall also include any
tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein, imposed by reason of events occurring during the term of this Lease, including but not limited to, a change in the ownership of the Premises. See Addendum Paragraph #53. 
  
 10.2 
  
 (a) Payment of Taxes. Lessee shall pay the Real Property Taxes applicable to the Premises during the term of
this Lease. Subject to Paragraph 10.2(b), all such payments shall be made at least ten (10) days prior to any delinquency date. Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with satisfactory evidence that such taxes have been paid. If any such taxes shall
cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Lessee’s share of such taxes shall be prorated to cover only that portion of the tax bill applicable to the period that this Lease is in effect, and Lessor
shall reimburse Lessee for any overpayment. If Lessee shall fall to pay any required Real Property Taxes, Lessor shall have the right to pay the same, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor therefor upon demand. 
  
 (b) Advance Payment. in the event Lessee incurs a late
charge on any Rent payment, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, estimate the current Real Property Taxes, and require that such taxes be paid in advance to Lessor by Lessee, either: (i) in a lump sum amount equal to the installment due, at least
twenty (20) days prior to the applicable delinquency date, or (ii) monthly in advance with the payment of the Base Rent. If Lessor elects to require payment monthly in advance, the monthly payment shall be an amount equal to the amount of the
estimated installment of taxes divided by the number of months remaining before the month in which said installment becomes delinquent. When the actual amount of the applicable tax bill is known, the amount of such equal monthly advance payments
shall be adjusted as required to provide the funds needed to pay the applicable taxes. If the amount collected by Lessor is insufficient to pay such Real Property Taxes when due, Lessee shall pay Lessor, upon demand, such additional sums as are
necessary to pay such obligations. All monies paid to Lessor under this Paragraph may be intermingled with other monies of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of its obligations under this Lease,
then any balance of funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of this Paragraph may, at the option of Lessor, be treated as an additional Security Deposit. 
  
 10.3 Joint Assessment. If the Premises are not separately assessed, Lessee’s liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes
for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be conclusively determined by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor’s work sheets or such other information as may be
reasonably available. 
  
 10.4 Personal Property Taxes. Lessee
shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property of Lessee. When possible, Lessee shall cause such property
to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor. If any of Lessee’s said personal property shall be assessed with Lessor’s real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee’s property within
ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement. 
  
 11. Utilities. Lessee
shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a
reasonable proportion, to be determined by Lessor, of all charges jointly metered. 
  
 12. Assignment and Subletting. 
  
 12.1 Lessor’s
Consent Required. See Addendum Paragraph #55 
  
 (a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber (collectively, “assign or assignment”) or sublet all or any part of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises without
Lessor’s prior written consent. 
  
 (b) A
change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an assignment requiring consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a change in control for this purpose.

  
 (c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets
in any transaction, or series of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee’s assets occurs, which results
or will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee by an amount greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Worth as it was represented at the time of the execution of this Lease or at the time of the most recent assignment to which
Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately prior to said transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, whichever was or is greater, shall be considered an assignment of this Lease to which Lessor may withhold its consent. “Net
Worth of Lessee” shall mean the net worth of Lessee (excluding any guarantors) established under generally accepted accounting principles. 
  
 (d) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at Lessor’s option, be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(c),
or a noncurable Breach without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or subletting as a noncurable Breach, Lessor may either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon thirty (30) days
written notice, increase the monthly Base Rent to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base Rent then in effect. Further, in the event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any option to purchase the Premises held by
Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the price previously in effect, and (ii) all fixed and non-fixed rental adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the Lease term shall be increased to One Hundred
Ten Percent (110%) of the scheduled adjusted rent. 
  
 (e) Lessee’ s remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor shall be limited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief. 
  
 12.2 Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting. 
  
 (a) Regardless of Lessor’s consent, any assignment or subletting shall not: (i) be effective without
the express written assumption by such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease; (ii) release Lessee of any obligations hereunder; or (iii) alter the primary liability of Lessee for the payment of Rent or for the
performance of any other obligations to be performed by Lessee. 
  
 (b) Lessor may accept Rent or performance of Lessee’s obligations from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of an

assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or dis___oval of such assignment nor the acceptance ____ performance shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of
Lessor’s right to exercise its remedies for Lessee’s Default or Breach. 
  
 (c) Lessor’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.

  
 (d) In the event of any Default or Breach by
Lessee, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, _ncluding any assignee or sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor’s remedies
against any other person or entity responsible therefore to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor. 
  
 (e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor’s
determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a fee of
$1,000 or ten percent (10%) of the current monthly Base Rent applicable to the portion of the Premises which is the subject of the proposed assignment or sublease, whichever is greater, as consideration for Lessor’s considering and processing
said request. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably requested. 
  
 (f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be
deemed to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as are
contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented to in writing. 
  
 12.3 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of
all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein: 
  
 (a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee’s interest in all Rent payable on any sublease, and Lessor may
collect such Rent and apply same toward Lessee’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach shall occur in the performance of Lessee’s obligations, Lessee may collect said Rent. Lessor shall not, by reason of the
foregoing or any assignment of such sublease, nor by reason of the collection of Rent, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee’s obligations to such sublessee. Lessee hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become due under
the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such notice from Lessor and shall pay all Rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists, notwithstanding any claim from Lessee to the contrary. 
  
 (b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee, Lessor may, at its
option, require sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided, however, Lessor
shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any prior Defaults or Breaches of such sublessor. 
  

(c) Any matter requiring the consent of the sublessor under a sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor. 
  
 (d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any
part of the Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent. 
  
 (e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach by Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default of Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The
sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any such Defaults cured by the sublessee. 
  
 13. Default; Breach; Remedies. 
  
 13.1 Default; Breach. A “Default” is defined as a failure by the Lessee to comply with or perform any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or rules under this Lease. A “Breach” is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following Defaults, and the failure of Lessee to cure such Default within any applicable grace period: 
  
 (a) The abandonment of the Premises; or the vacating of the
Premises without providing a commercially reasonable level of security, or where the coverage of the property insurance described in Paragraph 8.3 is jeopardized as a result thereof, or without providing reasonable assurances to minimize potential
vandalism. 
  
 (b) The failure of Lessee to make
any payment of Rent or any Security Deposit required to be made by Lessee hereunder, whether to Lessor or to a third party, when due, to provide reasonable evidence of insurance or surety bond, or to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which
endangers or threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of ten (10) business days following written notice to Lessee. 
  
 (c) The failure by Lessee to provide (i) reasonable written evidence of compliance with Applicable Requirements, (ii) the service
contracts, (iii) the rescission of an unauthorized assignment or subletting, (iv) a Estoppel Certificate, (v) a requested subordination, (vi) evidence concerning any guaranty and/or Guarantor, (vii) any document requested under Paragraph 42
(easements), or (viii) any other documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days following written notice to Lessee. 

 
 (d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof, other than those described in subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee’s Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach if Lessee commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period
and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. 
  
 (e) The occurrence of any of the following events; (i) the making of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) becoming a “debtor” as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101 or any
successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee’s assets located
at the Premises or of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee’s assets located at the
Premises or of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision
shall be of no force or effect, and not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. 
  
 (f) The discovery that any financial statement of Lessee or of any Guarantor given to Lessor was materially false. 
  
 (g) If the performance of Lessee’s obligations under
this Lease is guaranteed: (i) the death of a Guarantor; (ii) the termination of a Guarantor’s liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with the terms of such guaranty; (iii) a Guarantor’s becoming insolvent or the
subject of a bankruptcy filing; (iv) a Guarantor’s refusal to honor the guaranty; or (v) a Guarantor’s breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory basis, and Lessee’s failure, within sixty (60) days following written notice
of any such event, to provide written alternative assurance or security, which, when coupled with the then existing resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the combined financial resources of Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the time of
execution of this Lease. 
  
 13.2 Remedies. If
Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative duties or obligations, within ten (10) days after written notice (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at its option, perform such duty or obligation on Lessee’s behalf,
including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. The costs and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be due and payable by Lessee upon receipt of
invoice therefor. If any check given to Lessor by Lessee shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its option, may require all future payments to be made by Lessee to be by cashier’s check. In the event of a Breach,
Lessor may, with or without further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach: 
  
 (a) Terminate Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this
Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of
award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of
award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for
all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and that portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to
the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of the
District within which the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee’s Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor’s right to recover damages under Paragraph 12.
If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to
recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit. If a notice and grace period required under Paragraph 13.1 was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given to Lessee under the unlawful detainer statute shall
also constitute the notice required by Paragraph 13.1. In such case, the applicable grace period required by Paragraph 13.1 and the unlawful 

  

											
	 	  	Page 7 of 11	  	Initials  	  	 	  	 	  	 
	©1997 - American Industrial Real Estate Association	  	REVISED	  	FORM STN-6-2/97E

 
detainer statute shall run concurrently, and _______ Lessee to cure the Default within the greater ______ grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful
detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute. 
  
 (b) Continue the Lease and Lessee’s right to possession and recover the Rent as it becomes due, in which event Lessee may sublet or
assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet, and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor’s interests, shall not constitute a termination of the Lessee’s right to possession.

  
 (c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter
available under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of Lessee’s right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any
indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee’s occupancy of the Premises. 
  
 13.3 Inducement Recapture. Any agreement for free or abated rent or other charges, or for the giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or
other bonus, inducement or consideration for Lessee’s entering into this Lease, all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as “Inducement Provisions,” shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee’s full and faithful
performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Upon Breach of this Lease by Lessee, any such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and of no further force or effect, and any rent, other
charge, bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The
acceptance by Lessor of Rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this paragraph unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such
acceptance. 
  
 13.4 Late Charge. Lessee hereby acknowledges that
late payment by Lessee of Rent will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and
late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by any Lender. Accordingly, if any Rent shall not be received by Lessor within five (5) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
a one-time late charge equal to six percent (6%) of each such overdue amount. The Parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of such late payment. Acceptance of such
late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee’s Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge
is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor’s option, become due and payable quarterly in
advance. 
  
 13.5 Interest. Any monetary payment due Lessor
hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor, when due as to scheduled payments (such as Base Rent) or within thirty (30) days following the date on which it was due for non-scheduled payment, shall bear interest from the date when
due, as to scheduled payments, or the thirty-first (31st) day after it was due as to non-scheduled payments. The interest (“Interest”) charged shall be equal to the prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal as published closest prior
to the date when due plus four percent (4%), but shall not exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Interest is payable in addition to the potential late charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4. 
  
 13.6 Breach by Lessor. 
  
 (a) Notice of Breach. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach
of this Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph, a reasonable time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor, and
any Lender whose name and address shall have been furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor’s obligation
is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach if performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion. 
  
 (b) Performance by Lessee on Behalf of Lessor. In the event
that neither Lessor nor Lender cures said breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice, or if having commenced said cure they do not diligently pursue it to completion, then Lessee may elect to cure said breach at Lessee’s
expense and offset from Rent an amount equal to the greater of one month’s Base Rent or the Security Deposit, and to pay an excess of such expense under protest, reserving Lessee’s right to reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall document
the cost of said cure and supply said documentation to Lessor. 
  
 14.
Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (collectively “Condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken as of
the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of any building portion of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the land area portion of the Premises not occupied
by any building, is taken by Condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10)
days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in utility of the Premises caused by such Condemnation. Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the
property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, the value of the part taken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any compensation for
Lessee’s relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures, without regard to whether or not this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph. All Alterations and Utility Installations made to the
Premises by Lessee, for purposes of Condemnation only, shall be considered the property of the Lessee and Lessee shall be entitled to any and all compensation which is payable therefor. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of the
Condemnation, Lessor shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such Condemnation. 
  
 16. Estoppel Certificates. 
  
 (a) Each Party (as “Responding Party”) shall within ten (10) days after written notice from the other Party (the “Requesting Party”) execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a
statement in writing in form similar to the then most current “Estoppel Certificate” form published by the American Industrial Real Estate Association, plus such additional information, confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably
requested by the Requesting Party. 
  
 (b) If the
Responding Party shall fail to execute or deliver the Estoppel Certificate within such ten day period, the Requesting Party may execute an Estoppel Certificate stating that: (i) the Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as
may be represented by the Requesting Party, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the Requesting Party’s performance, and (iii) if Lessor is the Requesting Party, not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance. Prospective
purchasers and encumbrancers may rely upon the Requesting Party’s Estoppel Certificate, and the Responding Party shall be estopped from denying the truth of the facts contained in said Certificate. 
  
 (c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the
Premises, or any part thereof, Lessee and all Guarantors shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including, but not limited to,
Lessee’s financial statements for the past three (3) years. All such financial statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

assignee (in cash or by credit) any unused Security Deposit held by Lessor. Except as provided in Paragraph 15, upon such transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor shall be relieved of all liability
with respect to the obligations and/or covenants under this lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by the Lessor shall be _______ only upon the Lessor
as hereinabove defined. Notwithstanding the above, and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 20 below, the original Lessor under this Lease, and all subsequent holders of the Lessor’s interest in this Lease shall remain liable and responsible
with regard to the potential duties and liabilities of Lessor ___________ to Hazardous Substances as outlined in Paragraph 6 above. 
  
 18. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of ___ other
provision hereof.

contrary, the word “days” as used in this Lease shall mean and refer to calendar days. 
  
 20. Limitation on Liability. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 17 above, the obligations of Lessor under this Lease shall not constitute personal obligations of Lessor, the individual partners of Lessor or its or
their individual partners, directors, officers or shareholders, and Lessee shall look to the Premises, and to no other assets of Lessor, for the satisfaction of any liability of Lessor with respect to this Lease, and shall not seek recourse against
the individual partners of Lessor, or its or their individual partners, directors, officers or shareholders, or any of their personal assets for such satisfaction. 
  
 21. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties
under this Lease_ 
  
 22. No Prior or Other Agreements; Broker Disclaimer. This
Lease contains all agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be effective. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the Brokers that it
has made, and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the nature, quality, character and financial responsibility of the other Party to this Lease and as to the nature, quality and character of the Premises. Brokers have no
responsibility with respect thereto or with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The liability (including court costs and Attorneys’ fees), of any Broker with respect to negotiation, execution, delivery or performance by
either Lessor or Lessee under this Lease or any amendment or modification hereto shall be limited to an amount up to the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker’s
liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker. 
  
 23. Notices. 
  
 23.1 Notice
Requirements. All notices required or permitted by this Lease shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by courier) or may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage
prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph 23. The addresses noted adjacent to a Party’s signature on this Lease shall be that Party’s address for
delivery or mailing of notices. Either party may by written notice to the other specify a different address for notice, except that upon Lessee’s taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee’s address for notice.
A copy of all notices to Lessor shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate in writing. 
  
 23.2 Date of Notice. Any notice sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the
date of delivery shown on the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent by regular mail the notice shall be deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after the ____ is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage
prepaid. Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that guarantee next day delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of the same to the Postal Service or courier. Notices transmitted by facsimile
transmission or similar means shall be deemed delivered upon telephone confirmation of receipt, provided a copy is also delivered via delivery of mail. If notice is received on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the
next business day. 
  
 24. Waivers. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach
of any term, covenant or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by Lessee of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition hereof.
Lessor’s consent to_ or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor’s consent to, or approval of, any subsequent or similar act by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an estoppel to enforce
the provision or provisions of this Lease requiring such consent. The acceptance of Rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any Default or Breach by Lessee. Any payment by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account of monies or damages due Lessor,
notwithstanding any qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection therewith, which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect whatever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the time
of deposit of such payment. 
  
 25. Recording. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon
request of the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a short form memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes. The Party requesting recordation shall be responsible for payment of any fees applicable thereto. 
  
 26. No Right To Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any
part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over, then the Base Rent shall be increased to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately preceding
the expiration or termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee. 
  
 27. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in
equity. 
  
 28. Covenants and Conditions; Construction of Agreement. All
provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions. In construing this Lease, all headings and titles are for the convenience of the Parties only and shall not be considered a part of this Lease.
Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the Parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both Parties had prepared it.

  
 29. Binding Effect; Choice of Law. This Lease shall be binding upon the
parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any litigation between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the county in which the
Premises are located. 
  
 30. Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance.

  
 30.1 Subordination. This Lease and any Option granted hereby
shall be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust____ other hypothecation or security device (collectively, “Security Device”), now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, to any and all advances made on the
security thereof, and all renewals, modifications, and extensions thereof. Lessee agrees that the holders of any such Security Devices (in this Lease together referred to __ “Lessor’s Lender”) shall have no liability or obligation to
perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this Lease. Any Lender may elect to have this Lease and/or any Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device by giving written notice thereof to Lessee, whereupon this Lease and such
Options shall be deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the documentation or recordation thereof. 
  
 30.2 Attornment. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph 30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires
ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be liable for ___ act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring prior to
acquisition of ownership; (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee _____ have against any prior lessor; or (iii) be bound by prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent. 
  
 30.3 Non-Disturbance. With respect to Security Devices entered into by Lessor
after the execution of this Lease, Lessee’s subordination of this Lease shall be subject to receiving a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement (a “Non-Disturbance Agreement”) from the Lender which Non-Disturbance Agreement
provides that Lessee’s possession of the Premises, and this Lease, including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises. Further, within
sixty (60) days after the execution of this Lease, Lessor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement from the holder of any pre-existing Security Device which is secured by the Premises. In the event that
Lessor is unable to provide the Non-Disturbance Agreement within said sixty (60) days, then Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, directly contact Lessor’s lender and attempt to negotiate for the execution and delivery of a Non-Disturbance
Agreement. 
  
 30.4 Self-Executing. The agreements contained in
this Paragraph 30 shall be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however, that, upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale, financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall
execute such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any subordination, attornment and/or Non-Disturbance Agreement provided for herein. 
  
 31. Attorney’s Fees. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding involving the Premises to enforce the terms hereof or to
declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit,
whether or not such action or proceedings is pursued to decision or judgment. The term, “Prevailing Party” shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be,
whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The attorneys’ fees award shall not be computed in accordance with

	©1997 - American Industrial Real Estate Association	  	REVISED	  	FORM STN-6-2/97E

 
any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to ___________ all attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred. ________, Lessor shall be entitled to
attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default or resulting
Breach. 
  
 32. Lessor’s Access; Showing Premises; Repairs. Lessor and
Lessor’s agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises as Lessor may deem necessary. All such activities shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee. Lessor may at any time place on the Premises any ordinary “For
Sale” signs and Lessor may during the last six (6) months of the term hereof place on the Premises any ordinary “For Lease” signs. Lessee may at any time place on or about the Premises any ordinary “For Sublease” sign.

  
 33. Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, any
auction upon the Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent. Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining whether to permit an auction.

sign upon the Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent. All signs must comply with all Applicable Requirements. 
  
 35. Termination; Merger. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual termination or
cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may elect to continue any one or all existing subtenancies.
Lessor’s failure within ten (10) days following any such event to elect to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any such lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor’s election to have such event constitute the termination of such
interest. 
  
 36. Consents. Except as otherwise provided herein, wherever in this
Lease the consent of a Party is required to an act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor’s actual reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, architects’,
attorneys’, engineers’ and other consultants’ fees) incurred in the consideration of, or response to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent, including, but not limited to, consents to an assignment, a subletting or the presence
or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee upon receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation therefor. Lessor’s consent to any act, assignment or subletting shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no Default or Breach by
Lessee of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or Breach, except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such consent. The failure to specify herein any
particular condition to Lessor’s consent shall not _________ the imposition by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions as are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being given. In
the event that either Party disagrees with any determination made by the other hereunder and reasonable requests the reasons for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its reasons in writing and in reasonable detail within ten (10)
business days following such request. 
  
 37. Guarantor. 
  
 37.1 Execution. The Guarantors, if any, shall each execute a guaranty in the
form most recently published by the American Industrial Real Estate Association, and each such Guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.

authorizing the making of such guaranty, (b) current financial statements, (c) a Tenancy Statement, or (d) written confirmation that the guaranty is still in effect.

39. Options.

 (c) An option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee’s due and timely exercise of the Option,
if, after such exercise and prior to the commencement of the extended term, (i) Lessee falls to pay Rent for a period of thirty (30) days after such Rent becomes due (without any necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof), (ii) Lessor gives to
Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate Default during any twelve (12) month period, whether or not the Defaults are cured, or (iii) if Lessee commits a Breach of this Lease.

reasonable rules and regulations which Lessor may make from time to time for the management, safety, and care of said properties, including the care and cleanliness of the grounds and including the parking, loading and unloading of vehicles, and
that Lessee will pay its fair share of common expenses incurred in connection therewith.

CC&R recorded which shall permit reciprocal parking, driveway access, and joint signage rights on the monument sign currently located on Mission George Road. 
  
 51. Condition and Compliance. Lessor has concurrently purchased the Property in which the Premises is located from Lessee and is
hereby leasing back the Premises to Lessee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraphs 2.2 through 2.4 of the Lease as a sale and leaseback transaction, Lessor is making no warranty or representation as to the condition of the Premises
or its compliance with applicable law and shall have no responsibility to bring the Premises into compliance. 
  
 52. Base Rent and Scheduled Increases. The Base Rent of Nine Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($9,250.00) per month as provided for in paragraph 1.5 of the Lease shall continue at the same rate for the first
two (2) years of this Lease. Commencing with the first month of the third (3rd) Lease Year, the monthly rental shall be increased to Nine Thousand Eight Hundred and Five Dollars ($9,805.00) representing a six (6%) percent increase. Commencing with
the fourth (4th) Lease Year and continuing each Lease Year thereafter, the Base Rent shall be increased to One Hundred Three Percent (103%) of the previous year’s Base Rent. 
  
 53. Property Taxes. Notwithstanding any provisions of paragraph 10 to the contrary, so long as the rear portions of Lessor’s

Exercise must be received by Lessor to be effective. Lessee’s right to exercise this Option shall be conditioned upon its compliance with all of the terms and conditions of paragraph 39 of this Lease with respect to Options, including but not
limited to, not being in default at the time of the exercise nor commencement of the Option periods. All terms and conditions of this Lease during the Option periods shall remain the same except that the Base Rent shall be increased at the
commencement of each Option period by the rights to a then fair market value rental or a percentage increase as hereinafter provided. 
  
 The Base Rent for the first year of each Option term shall be equal to the greater of (i) the then fair market value rental of the Premises or (ii) One
Hundred Three Percent (103%) of the Base Rent in existence during the last year of the initial term of this Lease or with respect to the Second Option period, during the last year of the First Option period. In the event Lessor and Lessee cannot
agree upon the fair market rent value, after a good faith effort to do so, within thirty (30) days following Lessor’s receipt of Lessee’s notice to extend, the fair market rent value shall be determined utilizing the services of two
experienced commercial real estate appraisers generally familiar with the market rental values of commercial properties within Santee and general East County areas of San Diego County. In the event the two appraisers cannot agree upon a fair market
value rental, they shall select a third appraiser and the average of the Base Rental amount established by each appraiser shall be used provided it is not less than 103% of the Base Rent in existence immediately prior to the commencement of the
applicable Option term. The costs of appraisers shall be shared equally by Lessor and Lessee. The Base Rent established for the first year of each Option term shall be increased each year during the balance of each Option term to an amount equal to
One Hundred Three Percent (103%) of the Base Rent for the prior year. 
  
 55.

 THE REVOLVING
CREDIT FACILITY 
  
 Section
2.1. The Revolving Credit Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each, a “Revolving Loan”) to each Borrower from time to
time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding for all such loans by such Lender such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment; provided, however, that at any time no Lender shall be obligated to make a Revolving Loan to any Borrower (i) in excess of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Available Credit of such Borrower at such time and (ii) to
the extent that the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings, after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, would exceed the Maximum Credit in effect at such time. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, amounts of
Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1. 
  
 Section 2.2. Borrowing Procedures. 
  
 (a)
Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) (i) one Business Day, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) three Business Days, in the case of
a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided, however, in respect of Revolving Loans made on the Effective Date (x) the Notice of Borrowing (as defined below) in respect thereof may be given by
11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Effective Date and (y) such Revolving Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans and thereafter 

  

 37 

 
may be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.11. Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C (a
“Notice of Borrowing”), specifying (A) the proposed Borrower, (B) the date of such proposed Borrowing, (C) the amount of such Borrower’s Available Credit (in respect of which the Borrowing Base component thereof may be
calculated by reference to the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently delivered to the Administrative Agent hereunder), (D) the amount of the Revolving Loans then outstanding to each Borrower, (E) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing,
(F) whether any portion of the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans and (G) the initial Interest Period or Periods for any such Eurodollar Rate Loans, if applicable. The Revolving Loans shall be made as Base Rate
Loans unless (subject to Section 2.14) the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Borrowing, or portion thereof, which is a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in an aggregate amount of not
less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. In the event that a Borrower requests a Base Rate Loan in an amount of less than $5,000,000 the Administrative Agent may (at its option) require such Borrowing, or the
relevant portion thereof, to be made as a Swing Loan; provided, however, that to do so would not conflict with the provisions of Section 2.3. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if
Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.14(a). Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing,
make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds
and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the relevant Borrower in such Borrower’s Disbursement Account. 
  
 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any
Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable
Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the
applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to
the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the
applicable Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to such Borrower. 
  
 (d) The failure of any Lender to make a Revolving Loan or any payment required by it on the date specified (a
“Non-Funding Lender”), including any payment in respect 

  

 38 

 
of its participation in Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on
such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Revolving Loan or payment required under this Agreement. 
  
 (e) On the Effective Date, (i) all Revolving Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be Revolving Loans
outstanding under this Agreement, (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced from $175,000,000 to $150,000,000, (iii) that portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Existing Lenders that are not party to this
Agreement shall be deemed to be assigned to the Lenders party to this Agreement, and each such Existing Lender shall cease to be a party to this Agreement, (iv) the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender party to the Existing Credit Agreement
that is a party to this Agreement shall be adjusted from such Lender’s revolving credit commitment under the Existing Credit Agreement to the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name under the heading “Revolving Credit
Commitment” on Schedule I and (v) each Lender whose Ratable Portion of the Revolving Loans outstanding on the Effective Date exceeds the amount of the Revolving Loans held by it on such date shall purchase Revolving Loans from such other
Lenders such that after giving effect to such purchase, each Lender shall hold Revolving Loans equal to its Ratable Portion of the Revolving Loans outstanding on such date. 
  
 Section 2.3. Swing Loans. 
  
 (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender may in its sole discretion
make loans (each, a “Swing Loan”) otherwise available to any Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in
an aggregate amount at any time outstanding at any time not to exceed the lesser of (i) $15,000,000 and (ii) the Swing Loan Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount by which the Maximum Credit exceeds the Revolving Credit Outstandings at such
time; provided, however, that no Swing Loan may be made that, after giving effect thereto, would result in a Borrowing Base Deficiency. The Swing Loan Lender shall be entitled to rely on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate
delivered to the Administrative Agent. Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and (subject to Sections 2.6 and 2.9) shall be repaid upon any Borrowing of a Revolving Loan or from time to time at the discretion of the Swing Loan
Lender but in any event no later than the Scheduled Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.3(a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.3(a). 
  
 (b) In order to request a Swing Loan, the relevant Borrower shall telecopy to
the Swing Loan Lender a duly completed request setting forth the requested amount and date of the Swing Loan (a “Swing Loan Request”), to be received by the Swing Loan Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day
of the proposed Borrowing. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender shall make its Swing Loan available to the Borrower on the date of the relevant Swing Loan Request. The Swing Loan Lender shall not make any Swing Loan in the
period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from any Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are
satisfied. The Swing Loan Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 hereof have been satisfied in connection with the making of any Swing Loan.

  

 39 

 (c) The Swing Loan Lender may demand at any time that each Lender pay to the Swing Loan Lender (for its
account), in the manner provided in subsection (d) below, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of all or a portion of the outstanding Swing Loans, which demand shall be in writing and shall specify the outstanding principal amount of Swing
Loans demanded to be paid. 
  
 (d) Each demand referred to in
clause (c) above to each Lender shall be accompanied by a statement prepared by the Swing Loan Lender specifying the amount of each Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans stated to be outstanding in
such notice or demanded to be paid pursuant to such demand, and, notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Lenders for this purpose hereby
irrevocably waive), each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date of such Lender’s receipt of such written statement, make available to the Swing Loan Lender, in immediately available
funds, for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the amount specified in such statement. Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except as provided in clause (f) below, be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the applicable
Borrower. The Swing Loan Lender shall use such funds to repay the Swing Loans owing to it. To the extent that any Lender fails to make such payment available to the Swing Loan Lender, the applicable Borrower shall repay such Swing Loan on demand.

  
 (e) Upon the occurrence of a Default under Section
9.1(g), each Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Loan otherwise required to be repaid by such Lender pursuant to clause (d) above, which participation shall be in a principal amount
equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan, by paying to the Swing Loan Lender on the date on which such Lender would otherwise have been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (d)
above, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan. If such amount is not in fact made available by such Lender to the Swing Loan Lender on such date, the Swing Loan Lender shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest accrued from such date at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day after such payment was due and thereafter at the rate of interest then applicable to Base
Rate Loans. 
  
 (f) From and after the date on which any Lender is
deemed to have made a Revolving Loan pursuant to clause (d) above with respect to any Swing Loan or purchases an undivided participation interest in a Swing Loan pursuant to clause (e) above, the Swing Loan Lender shall promptly
distribute to such Lender such Lender’s Ratable Portion of all payments of principal of and interest received by the Swing Loan Lender on account of such Swing Loan other than those received from a Lender pursuant to clause (d) or
(e) above.

shall have delivered to such Issuer a letter of credit reimbursement agreement, in such form as the Issuer may employ in its ordinary course of business for its own account (a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement”), signed by
the applicable Borrower, and such other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall govern. 
  
 (f) Each Issuer shall: 
  
 (i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or notice
by telephone, confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, which may be by telecopier) of the issuance or renewal of a Letter of Credit issued by it, of all drawings under a Letter of Credit issued by it and the payment (or the failure to pay when due)
by the applicable Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation when due (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by telecopy or similar transmission to each Lender). 
  
 (ii) upon the request of any Lender, furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement
Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender; and 
  
 (iii) no later than the first Business Day following the last day of each calendar month, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the
Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Lender requesting the same) and the Borrowers separate schedules for Documentary and Standby Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at the end of each month and any information requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent relating thereto. 
  
 (g) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, such Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest
and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the 

  

 42 

 
Revolving Credit Commitments, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrowers with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations
with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto. 
  
 (h) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued for its account when such amounts are due and
payable, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which such Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and such Borrower shall
not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) above or such payment is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed from the date on
which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the date of repayment in full at the rate of interest applicable to past due Revolving Loans bearing interest at a rate based on the Base Rate during such period, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such
payment in Dollars and in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Lender prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section
9.1(g) and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the
applicable Borrower in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from a Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a
Lender pursuant to this clause (h) above, such Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion
of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation. 
  
 (i) Each Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including
the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of: 
  
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein; 
  
 (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan
Document; 
  
 (iii) the existence of any claim,
set off, defense or other right that any Borrower, any Loan Party, or other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, such Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary
under any Letter of Credit, Issuer, the Administrative Agent 

  

 43 

 
or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or
transaction; 
  
 (iv) any draft or other document
presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
  
 (v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that
does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and 
  
 (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 
  
 Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit the Issuer may rely exclusively on
the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder
equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any
other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented
under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer. 
  
 (j) If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (i) above available
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment
was first due at the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. The failure of
any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer such
other Lender’s Ratable Portion of any such payment. 
  

 44 

 Section 2.5. Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. The
Borrowers may upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably the unused portions of the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders; provided,
however, that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. 
  

Section 2.6. Repayment of Loans. Each Borrower shall repay the entire unpaid principal amount of its Revolving Loans on the
Scheduled Termination Date. 
  
 Section 2.7. Evidence of
Debt, Obligations of Borrowers. 
  
 (a) Each Lender shall
maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid
to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 
  
 (b) The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in accordance with its usual practice in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable by each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof, if applicable. 
  
 (c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses
(a) and (b) of this Section 2.7 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of
any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that
any Lender requests that any Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by such Borrower hereunder, each such Borrower will promptly execute and deliver a
Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Revolving Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, and the interests evidenced by such note or notes shall at all times (including after assignment of all or part of such
interests) be evidenced by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein; provided, however, that Terra UK shall not be required to execute and deliver any promissory note or notes hereunder and that each Existing Lender
that was issued a Note previously shall be issued a new Note to reflect the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement and any change in the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Lender. 
  
 (e) Without affecting any guaranty or collateral obligation of any Borrower
or other Loan Party under any Loan Document, each Borrower is severally liable in respect of its Obligations hereunder (in respect of principal and interest only) and, as a Borrower, is not obligated in such capacity to repay any Loan (or pay
interest thereon) of another Borrower hereunder. All other Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder are joint and several. 
  

 45 

 Section 2.8. Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may (in addition to the obligations
under Section 2.9(e)), upon, (i) in respect of Swing Loans, same day notice, (ii) in respect of Base Rate Loans, at least one Business Day’s prior notice, and (iii) in respect of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at least four Business Days’
prior notice, to the Administrative Agent, stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans in whole or in part; provided, however, that if any
prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by any Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, such Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e); and, provided, further,
that each partial prepayment (other than in respect of Swing Loans or as required under Section 2.9) shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Upon the giving of
such notice of prepayment, the principal amount of Loans specified to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified for such prepayment. 
  
 Section 2.9. Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 (a) Upon receipt by Terra Industries, the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds (other than, with respect to MCC and its
Subsidiaries to the extent that (x) the administrative agent and the lenders under the MCC Credit Agreement have a first priority Lien on and right to such Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to the MCC Intercreditor Agreements and (y) such Net Cash Proceeds
are used to prepay the MCC Credit Agreement) arising (i) from an Asset Sale or a Debt Issuance, each Borrower shall immediately prepay its Loans (or provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit) such that the aggregate amount of all such
payments is equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds, (ii) from an Equity Issuance each Borrower shall immediately prepay its Loans (or provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit) such that the aggregate amount of all such payments is
equal to 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds, or (iii) from an insured loss or casualty event (being, other than proceeds in respect of business interruption, “Insurance Proceeds”), each Borrower shall immediately prepay its Loans (or
provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit) such that the aggregate amount of all such payments is equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, however, any Insurance Proceeds (which do not exceed $20,000,000 in
respect of any single loss or event) may (provided, and for so long as, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), at the request of the Borrowers, be applied in replacing or reinstating the affected assets; provided
further that (A) such Net Cash Proceeds are so applied (or contractually committed to be so applied) within 360 days (the “Reinstatement Date”) following the occurrence of the event giving rise to such Net Cash Proceeds, (B)
such Net Cash Proceeds are deposited in a Cash Collateral Account maintained with, and subject to a perfected first priority Lien in favor of, the Administrative Agent (which cash collateral may be included in the calculation of relevant Borrowing
Base pending its application hereunder) and (notwithstanding Section 11.1(a)(ix)) any Net Cash Proceeds deposited in such account for such purpose may not subsequently be withdrawn without the approval of the Administrative Agent and (C) any
such Net Cash Proceeds or any portion thereof not applied in replacement or reinstatement of the affected assets (x) by the Reinstatement Date or (y) at any time during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default at any time prior to the
Reinstatement Date, shall be applied as mandatory prepayment of the Loans (or as cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit) at such time. Any such mandatory prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.9(c) below.

  
 (b) Any prepayments made by the Borrowers required to be
applied in accordance with this Section 2.9 shall be applied as follows: first, to repay the outstanding 

  

 46 

 
principal balance of the Swing Loans until such Swing Loans shall have been repaid in full; second, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the
Revolving Loans until such Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full; and then, to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 until all such Letter of Credit Obligations have
been fully cash collateralized in the manner set forth therein. 
  
 (c) If at any time, either (i) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the Maximum Credit at such time or (ii) a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists in respect of any Borrower, each Borrower shall forthwith (or
if such Borrowing Base Deficiency has occurred through Accounts which were previously classified as Eligible Receivables being reclassified as ineligible, in which case upon the expiration of two Business Days during which such Borrowing Base
Deficiency remains continuing) prepay its Swing Loans first and then its Revolving Loans then outstanding such that the aggregate amount of all such payments is equal to such excess or otherwise sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. If any such
excess or deficiency remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swing Loans and Revolving Loans, each Borrower shall provide cash collateral for its Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 to the
extent required to eliminate such excess or deficiency. 
  
 (d)
Each Borrower agrees that all available funds (others than those funds representing Net Cash Proceeds which are to be otherwise applied pursuant to this Section 2.9) in a Cash Collateral Account of such Borrower shall (subject, in the case of
Terra UK, to Section 7.12(d)(iii)) be applied on a daily basis; first to repay the outstanding principal amount of its Swing Loans until its Swing Loans shall have been repaid in full; second to repay the outstanding principal
balance of its Revolving Loans until its Revolving Loans shall have been repaid in full; and third to any other Obligations then due and payable. If there are no Loans outstanding and no other Obligations are then due and payable, then the
funds in such Cash Collateral Account shall be retained in such Cash Collateral Account, or (if required by the Administrative Agent) transferred to the L/C Cash Collateral Account, to cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations then
outstanding and any contingent obligations which such Borrower may have under any Guaranty); provided, however, that (subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 7.12(d)(iii) in respect of Terra
UK) if on any Business Day after giving effect to the foregoing applications any funds are on deposit in its Cash Collateral Account and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Borrower may direct the
Administrative Agent to (and the Administrative Agent shall) disburse such funds to such Borrower’s Disbursement Account. 
  
 Section 2.10. Interest. 
  
 (a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid
principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in Section
2.10(c), as follows: 
  
 (i) if a Base Rate
Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time, plus (B) the Applicable Margin; and 
  

 47 

 (ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the
Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period, plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time during such Eurodollar Interest Period. 
  
 (b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan (including Swing Loans) shall be payable in
arrears (A) on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Base Rate Loan, and (B) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan;
(ii) interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, in respect of any Interest Period of six months’ duration, on the day which is three months
following commencement of such Interest Period and also on the last day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part, and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) of such Eurodollar Rate Loan; and (iii) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation, becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

  
 (c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of
interest specified in Section 2.10(a) or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and the
amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate which is two percent per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Obligations from time to time. 
  
 Section 2.11. Conversion/Continuation Option. 
  
 (a) The Borrowers may elect (i) at any time to convert Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) or any portion thereof to
Eurodollar Rate Loans, or (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest
Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Loans for each Interest Period complies with the provisions of Section 2.2(a). Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in
accordance with its Ratable Portion. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three
Business Days’ prior written notice specifying (A) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period, and (C) in the case of a
conversion, the date of conversion (which date shall be a Business Day and, if a conversion from Eurodollar Rate Loans, shall also be the last day of the applicable Interest Period). 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and
of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable
Interest Period, shall be permitted at any time at which (i) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of Section 2.14. If,
within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice 

  

 48 

 
of Conversion or Continuation from any Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurodollar Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to
convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loans will be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable. 
  
 Section 2.12. Fees. 
  
 (a) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to each Lender a
commitment fee on the actual amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender exceeds the sum of (i) such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans and outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and (ii) the
outstanding portion of any Swing Loans made by such Lender (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) on each day from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date equal to 0.50% per annum, payable in arrears (x) on the first day
of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the date of this Agreement and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. 
  
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer: 
  
 (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Issuer of a Letter of Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, an issuance fee equal to 0.50% per annum of the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on
the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; 
  
 (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of
Credit, a fee accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans of the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the
first day of each calendar month commencing on the first such day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however that during the continuance of an Event of Default, such fee
shall be increased by two percent per annum and shall be payable on demand; and 
  
 (iii) to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing
made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be. 
  
 (c) Additional Fees. The Borrowers have agreed to pay to the Lenders,
the Administrative Agent and the Arranger additional fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letter. Any cash management fees payable by or on behalf of any Loan Party shall be payable irrespective of whether accounts
are opened in the name of any Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in its name in respect of any Loan Party. 
  

 49 

 Section 2.13. Payments and Computations; Protective Advances. 
  
 (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and
expenses) not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) (provided, however, that repayments of Swing Loans shall be made not later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time)) on the day when due, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at its
address referred to in Section 11.8 in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal or
interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clauses (e) and (f) of this Section 2.13, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices;
provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14(c), 2.14(e), 2.15 or 2.16 shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be paid
only to the Swing Loan Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. 
  
 (b) All computations of interest and fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in
each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of
payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on
the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Revolving Loans shall be applied first to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans with those Eurodollar Rate
Loans which have earlier expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods being repaid prior to those which have later expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods. 
  
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder
that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first Business Day, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, for each day from the
date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (e) Subject to the provisions of clause (f) of this Section 2.13 and (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9), all payments and
any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of any Borrower shall be applied first, to pay 

  

 50 

 
principal of and interest on any portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced to such Borrower pursuant to the express provisions of
this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or such Borrower; second, to pay all other Obligations owing by such Borrower then due and payable; and third, as
such Borrower so designate. Payments in respect of Swing Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the Swing Loan Lender; payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to
each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are
entitled thereto, and, if to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions. 
  
 (f) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations owing by
such Borrower and any proceeds of Collateral of such Borrower, and agrees that the Administrative Agent may, and shall upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section
9.2, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account (including all proceeds arising in connection with a Reinstatement Date that are held in the Cash Collateral Account pending
application of such proceeds as specified in Section 2.9(a)) and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order: 
  
 (i) first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans which the Administrative Agent may have
advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrowers;  
  
 (ii) second, to pay interest on and then principal of any Swing Loan; 
  
 (iii) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any
expense reimbursements or indemnities then due the Administrative Agent; 
  
 (iv) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the Issuers; 
  
 (v) fifth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Issuers; 
  
 (vi) sixth,
to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations; 
  
 (vii) seventh, to pay or prepay principal payments on the Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and to provide cash
collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3, and to pay Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent with respect to cash management services in connection with Approved Deposit
Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, and any other collection, disbursement or payroll account, ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts and amounts due in
respect of such cash management services; 
  

 51 

 (viii) eighth, to the ratable payment of all Obligations owing to any Lender or
any Affiliate of a Lender with respect to Hedging Contracts; and 
  
 (ix) ninth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations; 
  
 provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any of the Obligations described in any of the foregoing clauses first through
eighth, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligations (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative
Agent’s and each Lender’s or Issuer’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through eighth of this Section 2.13(f) may at any
time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Secured Party that is not a Lender or Issuer, or any other Person. The order of priority
set forth in clauses first through fifth of this Section 2.13(f) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Requisite Lenders. 
  
 (g) All payments of Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees, expenses and
other sums due and payable in respect of the Loans of any Borrower and all expenses, disbursements and advances incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default which the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the Collateral of such Borrower or any portion thereof or to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment of the
Obligations owing by such Borrower may, at the option of the Administrative Agent, be paid from the proceeds of Swing Loans or Revolving Loans. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make Swing Loans pursuant to Section
2.3(a) and the Lenders to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(a), from time to time in the Swing Loan Lender’s or such Lender’s discretion, which are in the amounts of any and all principal payable with respect to the
interest, fees, expenses and other sums payable in respect of the Loans of such Borrower, and further authorizes the Administrative Agent to give the Lenders notice of any Borrowing with respect to such Loans and to distribute the proceeds of such
Loans to pay such amounts. Each Borrower agrees that all such Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it, as applicable, (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 3.2, which conditions the Lenders
irrevocably waive) and directs that all proceeds thereof shall be used to pay such amounts. 
  
 Section 2.14. Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
  
 (a) Determination of Interest Rate. The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct, absent manifest error, and shall be binding on the
Borrowers. 
  
 (b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or
Unfair. In the event that: (i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be
fixed; or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the
Administrative Agent shall 

  

 52 

 
forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such
Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that the
Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
  
 (c) Increased Costs. If at any time any Lender shall reasonably determine that the introduction of or any change (where such introduction or change
occurs after the date of this Agreement) in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar
Rate Reserve Percentage and other than any change in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of such Lender (including franchise taxes) or capital of such Lender) or the compliance by such Lender with any
guideline, request or directive (where such guideline, request or directive is issued after the date of this Agreement) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law but in relation to which such
Lender customarily complies), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans made to any Borrower, then such Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by
such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of
such increased cost, submitted to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction
of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (i)
the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of
Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, each applicable Borrower shall immediately (or, if lawful to do so, on the last day of the current Interest Period relating thereto) convert each such Loan
into a Base Rate Loan. If at any time after a Lender gives notice under this Section 2.14(d) such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the
applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. Each Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall thereupon be restored. 
  
 (e) Breakage Costs. In
addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10, each Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans to such Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) which that Lender may
sustain (i) if for any reason 

  

 53 

 
(other than under Section 2.14(b)) a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified
therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by such Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor
is given pursuant to Section 2.11, (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.9) on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence
of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in Section 2.14(d), or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by a Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the
terms hereof. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the applicable Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the
amount of compensation due to that Lender, absent manifest error. 
  
 (f) Excluded Period. No Lender or Issuer shall be entitled to make a claim under Clauses 2.14(c), 2.15 or 2.16 unless it has notified the Administrative Agent of its intention to make such claim within 180 days
of such Lender or Issuer becoming aware of the circumstances giving rise to such claim. 
  
 Section 2.15. Capital Adequacy. If at any time any Lender reasonably determines that (a) the adoption of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule,
regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation, or order, or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive issued after the date hereof from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by
such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. 
  
 Section 2.16. Taxes. 
  
 (a) Subject to Section 2.16(f) below, any and all payments by the
Borrowers under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the
case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent (A) taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which it maintains any office or operations and (B) any United States withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty
or regulation) in effect on the Initial Closing Date (or, in the case of an Eligible Assignee, the date of the Assignment and Acceptance) applicable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, but not excluding any United States
withholding payable as a result of any change in such laws occurring after the 

  

 54 

 
Initial Closing Date (or the date of such Assignment and Acceptance) (but excluding taxes set forth in clause (A) above) and (ii) in the case of each Lender,
taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office is located (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings
and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable by any Borrower under any Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case
may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment. 
  
 (b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, which arise from any payment made by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Loan Document
or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) Each Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

  
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or
Other Taxes, the applicable Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.8, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 
  
 (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers
hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations. 
  
 (f) On the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which any Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender after the Initial Closing Date, if requested by
the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled at such time to an exemption from United States withholding tax shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers with two completed copies of IRS Form W-8 (Ben
or ECI as appropriate including any required certifications) or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to such exemption from United States withholding tax with
respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents. Unless the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or
for a Non-U.S. 

  

 55 

 
Lender are not subject to United States withholding tax, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable
statutory rate. 
  
 (g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts
payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change
would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts which would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If any Lender is
not, with reasonable efforts, able to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office in accordance with this Section 2.16(g), then such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to complete such tax forms and make such filings as
would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts which would be payable or may thereafter accrue; provided, however, that completion of such forms and making of such filings would not in the sole
discretion of such Lender be disadvantageous to it. 
  
 (h) (i) As
at the date of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each Lender represents and warrants to the Loan Parties that (to the extent that any payments are to be made to it hereunder by Terra UK) it is a Qualifying Lender, (ii) if a Lender ceases
to be a Qualifying Lender (except as a result of the introduction of, change in, or change in the interpretation, administration or application of, any law or regulation or any practice or concession of the United Kingdom Inland Revenue occurring
after the date of this Agreement) or any transfer, sale, negotiation or assignment is made pursuant to Section 11.2 to a non-Qualifying Lender, then the Loan Parties shall not be liable to pay any amount under Section 2.16(a) in excess
of the amount which it would have been obliged to pay if that Lender had remained a Qualifying Lender. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent who in turn shall notify Terra Capital as soon as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware
that it has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender. 
  
 Section 2.17.
Substitution of Lenders. In the event that (a) (i) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.14 (c) or Section 2.15, or (ii) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan
and such Lender notifies the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.14(d), or (iii) the Borrowers are required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 that is attributable to any Lender, or (iv) any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, (b) in
the case of clause (a)(i) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans materially exceeds the effective
average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement and (c) Lenders holding at least 75% of the Revolving Credit Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such
Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrowers may substitute another financial institution for such Affected Lender hereunder, upon reasonable prior written notice (which written notice must be given within 90 days following the
occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)) by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender that the Borrowers intend to make such substitution, which substitute
financial institution must be an Eligible Assignee and, if not a Lender, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising
from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Borrowers within 30 days of each other then the Borrowers may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrowers have already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before
the Borrowers’ 

  

 56 

 
receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims. In the event that the proposed substitute financial institution
or other entity is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the written notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the Affected Lender shall sell and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall purchase,
pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall assume and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of its Revolving Credit
Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any
such unperformed obligations). Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption (which, in any event shall be conditioned upon the payment in full by the Borrowers to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and
expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date), the substitute financial institution or other entity shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having a Revolving Credit Commitment
(if applicable) in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it and such Revolving Credit Commitment (if applicable) of the Affected Lender shall be terminated, provided that all indemnities under the Loan
Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender. 
  
 Section 2.18. Assignment and Assumption of certain Commitments prior to the Effective Date. Pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance effective immediately prior to the Effective Date, PNC Business Credit
(“PNC”) has sold and assigned to CUSA, and CUSA has purchased and assumed from PNC, all of PNC’s Revolving Credit Commitments and related rights and obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement (the “PNC
Interest”). Effective immediately upon the Effective Date, CUSA is hereby deemed to have sold and assigned to the other Lenders party hereto, and the Lenders are hereby deemed to have purchased and assumed from CUSA, a portion of the PNC
Interest, in each case to the extent necessary such that each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment on the Effective Date shall be as set forth on Schedule I with respect to such Lender.

of Terra UK. 
  
 (b) Not later than the date which is 30 days
after the Effective Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion), Terra Industries and its Subsidiaries shall ensure that MCHI shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a guaranty of

 (d) Promptly upon the reasonable request by the Administrative Agent, each of Terra Industries and the Borrowers shall, and shall ensure that each of its
Subsidiaries shall, take such action as the Administrative Agent may request (including the execution, amendment, delivery, filing and registration of any Loan Document or other document, certificate, agreement or instrument) in order to correct any
material defect or error which may be discovered which impairs, or may fail to provide, the intended legality, effectiveness, accuracy, perfection or priority of any Loan Document.

(p) an “Event of Default” shall have occurred and be continuing, as such term is defined in the TNLP Credit Agreement. 
  
 Section 9.2. Remedies. During the continuance of any
Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (i) may, and shall at the request of the Requisite Lenders, by notice to the Borrowers declare that all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments be terminated, whereupon the obligation of each
Lender to make any Loan and each Issuer to issue any Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate, and/or (ii) may and shall at the request of the Requisite Lenders, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other
amounts and Obligations payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or
further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of the Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(g) above (except to the extent that such Event of
Default has occurred in respect of Terra Industries and/or Terra Capital Holdings), (A) the Revolving Credit Commitments of each Lender to make Revolving Loans and of each Lender and Issuer to issue or participate in Letters of Credit shall

expressly waived by the Borrowers. In addition to the remedies set forth above, the Administrative Agent may instruct the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to exercise any remedies provided for by the Collateral Documents in
accordance with the terms thereof or any other remedies provided by applicable law. 
  
 Section 9.3. Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit. Upon the Revolving Credit Termination Date or as required by Section 2.9, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent in

the sum of all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations (if any) which are denominated in currencies other than Dollars. The Administrative Agent may, from time to time after funds are deposited in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, apply funds then
held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in accordance with Section 2.13(f), as shall have become or shall become due and payable by the Borrowers to the Issuers or the Lenders in respect of the Letter of Credit
Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give written notice of any such application; provided, however, that the failure to give such written notice shall not invalidate any such application. Neither the Borrowers nor any
Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrowers shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account at any time prior to the termination of all outstanding 

  

 98 

 
Letters of Credit and the payment in full of all then outstanding and payable monetary Obligations. 
  
 Section 9.4. Rescission. If at any time after
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Borrowers shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations which shall have
become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than non-payment of principal of and accrued
interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 11.1, then upon the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and written notice to the Borrowers, the termination of the
Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions
of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders and the Issuers to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders; they are not intended to benefit the Borrowers and do not give the Borrowers the right to
require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and each Issuer; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be

as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent. 
  
 Section 10.4. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or any other Lender conduct its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and each other Loan Party in connection with the making and continuance of the Loans and with the issuance of the Letters of Credit. Each Lender and each Issuer also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or any other Lender and based on such documents and 

  

 100 

 
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and other
Loan Documents. 
  
 Section 10.5.
Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers),
from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees and disbursements of legal counsel) of
any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing,
each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of legal counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers or another Loan Party. 
  
 Section 10.6. Successor Administrative Agent. (a) Subject to clause (b) below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time
by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed
by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent selected from among the Lenders. Each such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrowers (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default); (b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent may at any time appoint any Affiliate (or Affiliates) of the Administrative Agent each as (i) a successor Administrative Agent in
the event that the Administrative Agent wishes to retire as Administrative Agent or (ii) (in connection with the performance and exercise of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents) as co-Administrative Agent, which appointment and (if
relevant) resignation shall be effective upon the Administrative Agent giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Any such appointment and/or resignation under this clause (b) shall not require the consent of any Lender
or Borrower. (c) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent or co-Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) above, each such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed
to, and each such co-Administrative Agent shall accede to, and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or remaining Administrative Agent, and in the case of a retiring Administrative Agent, such
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring

combination of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such greater or different proportion or
combination) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the Issuers with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection

Lender or such Issuer. 
  
 (c) Each of the Lenders and the Issuers
hereby directs, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent to release or instruct the Administrative Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, release or subordinate) any Lien held by the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuers: 
  
 (i) against all of the Collateral, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations which have matured and which the Administrative

satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuers); 
  
 (ii) against any assets that are subject to a Lien permitted by Section 8.2(d) or (e);

Lenders, if the Collateral subject to such release is a substantial portion of all the Collateral, or (B) the Requisite Lenders, in all other cases; 
  
 (iv) against any cash collateral to the extent permitted under Section 7.12 or Section 2.9; and

release Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 10.7 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.

Agreement relating to the Collateral shall extend to and be available in respect of any Obligation which arises under any Hedging Contract or which is otherwise owed to Persons other than the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Lenders and the
Issuers (collectively, “Related Obligations”) solely on the condition and understanding, as among the Administrative Agent and all Secured Parties, that (i) the Related Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan
Documents and the Collateral to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the Administrative Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect to, the Guaranty and the
Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the holders of the Related Obligations but the Administrative Agent is otherwise acting solely as agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of
disclosure or other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related Obligations; (ii) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner to the Guaranty, the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of
any Lien, shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement, the Senior Secured Note Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Secured Party
under any separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Related Obligation; and (iii) each Secured Party shall be bound by all actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Senior Secured Note
Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents, by the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater or different proportion or combination of the Lenders), each of whom
shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion and exclusively in its own interest given its own Revolving Credit Commitments and its own interest in the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations to it arising under this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, without any duty or liability to any other Secured Party or as to any Related Obligation and without regard to whether any Related Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral or becomes
unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby; and (iv) no holder of Related Obligations and no other Secured Party (except the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Lenders and the Issuers, to the extent set forth in this
Agreement) shall have any right to be notified of, or to direct, require 

  

 103 

 
or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement, the Senior Secured Note Intercreditor
Agreement or the Loan Documents; and (v) no holder of any Related Obligation shall exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien or similar right except as expressly provided in Section 11.6. 
  
 Section 10.9. Other Agents. Each party acknowledges that
the Person (except in its capacity as a Lender or Issuer) designated as the Arranger shall have no liability hereunder. 
  
 Section 10.10. Posting of Approved Electronic Communications. 
  
 (a) Each of the Lenders, the Issuers, Terra Industries, Terra Capital Holdings and the Borrowers agree, and the Borrowers
shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to agree, that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders and Issuers by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on
IntraLinksTM or a substantially similar electronic
platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). 
  
 (b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies
implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal
authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuers, Terra Industries, Terra Capital Holdings and the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees, and the Borrowers
shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to acknowledge and agree, that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In
consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders, the Issuers, Terra Industries,
Terra Capital Holdings and the Borrowers hereby approves, and the Borrowers shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to approve, distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and
assumes, and the Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to understand and assume, the risks of such distribution (except as otherwise set forth in Section 11.5(Limitation of Liability) hereunder). 
  
 (c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC
COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”
AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF
ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,
ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (THE “AGENT AFFILIATES”) WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY
OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED
ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS
IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.5 HEREUNDER. NO WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM 

  

 104 

 
FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS) IS
MADE BY THE AGENT AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC
PLATFORM. 
  
 (d) Each of the Lenders, the Issuers,
Terra Industries, Terra Capital Holdings and the Borrowers agree, and the Borrowers shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to agree, that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store
the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies. 
  
 ARTICLE XI 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 Section 11.1. Amendments, Waivers, Etc. 
  
 (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Requisite Lenders, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the relevant Lenders referred to below, in addition to the Requisite
Lenders, do any of the following: 
  
 (i) waive
any of the conditions specified in Section 3.1 (without the consent of all Lenders) or 3.2 (without the consent of all Lenders) except with respect to a condition based upon another provision hereof, the waiver of which requires only
the concurrence of the Requisite Lenders; 
  
 (ii) increase the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligations (without the consent of each such Lender); 
  
 (iii) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan owing to any Lender, or waive, reduce or postpone any
scheduled date fixed for the payment or reduction of principal of any such Loan (it being understood that Section 2.9 does not provide for scheduled dates fixed for payment) or for the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment of
such Lender (without the consent of such Lender); 
  
 (iv) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation owing to any Lender (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof) (without the consent of such Lender); 
  
 (v) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or Reimbursement
Obligations owing to any Lender or any fee payable hereunder to such Lender (without the consent of such Lender); 
  

 105 

 (vi) postpone any scheduled date fixed for payment of such interest or fees to such
Lender (without the consent of such Lender); 
  
 (vii) change the percentage of aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or unpaid principal amount of the Loans or the number or percentage of Lenders which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder
(without the consent of each Lender); 
  
 (viii)
increase the Advance Rates above the rates set forth in the definition thereof (without the consent of each Lender); 
  
 (ix) (without limiting Section 7.12) release a substantial portion of Collateral except as otherwise provided in Section
10.7(c) or release any Borrower or Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement or its Guaranty, as applicable, except in connection with sale or other disposition permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent
of a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement) (without the consent of each Lender); 
  
 (x) amend Section 10.7(c) or this Section 11.1 or the definition of the terms “Requisite Lenders” or
“Ratable Portion” (without the consent of each Lender affected thereby); 
  
 and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. 
  
 (c) In connection with any proposed amendment,
modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders in addition to the Requisite Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is
required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent
is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the
Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender
that is acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Revolving Loans held by
the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Acceptance. 
  

 106 

 Section 11.2. Assignments and Participations. 
  
 (a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) if
any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitment, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit
Commitment and (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the Assignor’s entire
interest) be less than (in the case of (in aggregate) the Revolving Credit Outstandings (and/or the Revolving Credit Commitments)) $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except, in either case, (A) with the consent of
Terra Capital and the Administrative Agent or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender, and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an
Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and Terra Capital (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.2, the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required for any assignment which occurs when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
  
 (b) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and
recording and the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party
hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, and if such Lender were an Issuer, of such
Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except those which
survive the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations to the extent corresponding thereto under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
  
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
Section 11.8 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitments of and principal amount of the Loans and
Letter of Credit Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the 

  

 107 

 
Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  
 (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice
thereof to the Borrowers. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrowers, at their own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, new Notes to the order of such assignee
in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Revolving Credit
Commitments hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the
form of Exhibit B. 
  
 (e) In addition to the other
assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans) to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank
pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board without notice to or consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent and (ii) any trustee for the benefit of the holders of such Lender’s Securities; provided, however,
that no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. 
  
 (f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including
all its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any
provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights which such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the
right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to
such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section
10.7(c). In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (A) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of
such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, and (D) the Borrower, 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. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14(c), 2.14(e), 2.15 and 2.16 as if it were a Lender; provided,
however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to pay to any participant of any interest of any Lender, under Section 2.14(c), 2.14(e), 2.15 or 2.16,
any sum in excess of the sum which the Borrowers would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold. 
  

 108 

 (g) Any Issuer may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Lender by an
instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, as of
the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued
prior to such date. 
  
 Section 11.3. Costs and
Expenses. 
  
 (a) Each Borrower agrees upon demand to pay,
or reimburse the Administrative Agent for, all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable internal and external audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s New York and English counsel, Weil,
Gotshal & Manges LLP and additional local legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers, printers, insurance and environmental advisers, and other consultants and agents) reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with (i)
the Administrative Agent’s audit and investigation of Terra Industries and its Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent’s periodic audits of Terra
Industries and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be; (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution and interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in
Article III), the Loan Documents and any proposal letter or commitment letter issued in connection therewith and the making of the Loans hereunder; (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under the Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, any reasonable and documented fees and expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions); (iv) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with
respect to the Administrative Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents; (vi) the
commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of Terra Industries’ Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (vii) the response to, and
preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Administrative Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which the Administrative Agent is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the
Obligations, any Loan Party, any of Terra Industries’ Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and (viii) any amendments, consents, waivers, assignments, restatements, or supplements to any of the Loan Documents and the
preparation, negotiation, and execution of the same. 
  
 (b) Each
Borrower further agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers upon demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees
(including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lenders or Issuers (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other
right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default; (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy
proceeding; 

  

 109 

 
(iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding
relating to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of Terra Industries’ Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents; and (iv) in taking any other action in or with
respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clauses (i) through (iii) above. 
  
 Section 11.4. Indemnities. 
  
 (a) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates, and
each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, consultants and advisors of or to any of the foregoing (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions
set forth in Article III) (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses of any
kind or nature (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to any such Indemnitee, but excluding taxes (other than those covenanted to be paid by the Borrowers under this Agreement) imposed on or measured by the
Indemnitee’s net income and franchise taxes, imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Indemnitee is organized or in which its principal office or Applicable Lending Office is
located) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto, whether direct, indirect,
or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or in contract, tort or otherwise, relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Obligation, any Letter of Credit, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit or in connection with any
investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”). Without limiting the foregoing, Indemnified Matters include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with
the past, present or future operations of Terra Industries or any of its Subsidiaries involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted
from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate; (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning Terra Industries or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) any costs or
liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien in respect of any assets or properties of Terra Industries and its Subsidiaries; (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter (concerning Terra Industries
or any of its Subsidiaries) under any Environmental Law, including CERCLA and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any of such matters, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in
possession, the successor in interest to Terra Industries or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of Terra Industries or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters
referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent incurred following (A) foreclosure by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer having
become the successor in interest to Terra Industries or any of its Subsidiaries, and (B) attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such
Issuer; provided, however, that 

  

 110 

 
the Borrowers shall not have any obligation under this Section 11.4 to an Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter caused by or resulting
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. 
  
 (b) Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Issuer for, and hold the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and each Issuer harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers for any broker, finder or consultant with
respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Each Borrower agrees that any indemnification or other protection
provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person who was at any time an
Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
  
 Section 11.5. Limitation of Liability. 
  
 (a) Each Borrower agrees that no Indemnitee shall (except for breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to
any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents and the MCC Acquisition Documents, except to
the extent such liability is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any
theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages and each of Terra Industries and each Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any
special indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
  
 (b) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT AFFILIATE
HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, LENDER, ISSUER OR ANY OTHER
PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT OR
CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY AGENT
AFFILIATE’S TRANSMISSION OF APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET
OR ANY USE OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
SUCH LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT AFFILIATE IS FOUND IN A FINAL
NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE
RESULTED FROM SUCH AGENT AFFILIATE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

  
 Section 11.6. Right of Set-off. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender 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 

  

 111 

 
held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the
Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower
after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this
Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have. 
  
 Section 11.7. Sharing of Payments, Etc. 
  
 (a) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the
Revolving Loans made by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16) in excess of its Ratable Portion under the Revolving Credit Facility, in respect of payments obtained by the Lenders, on account of such Obligations,
such Lender (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing
Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them. 
  
 (b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing
Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. 
  
 (c) Each Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this
Section 11.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount
of such participation.

all other parties, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (b) Effectiveness of Notices All such notices and communications shall be effective (i) upon personal delivery, if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, (ii) when deposited in the mails, if sent by mail, (iii)
if delivered by posting to an Approved Electronic Platform, an Internet website or a similar telecommunication device requiring that a user have prior access to such Approved Electronic Platform, website or other device, when such notice, demand,
request, consent and other communication shall have been made generally available on such Approved Electronic Platform, Internet website or similar device to the class of Person being notified (regardless of whether any such Person must accomplish,
and whether or not any such Person shall have accomplished, any action prior to obtaining access to such items, including registration, disclosure of contact information, compliance with a standard user agreement or undertaking a duty of
confidentiality) or (iv) when properly transmitted, if sent by a telecommunications device or by electronic mail; provided, however, that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II or X shall
not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (c) Use of Electronic Platform. Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) (unless the Administrative Agent requests that the provisions of clause (a) and (b) be followed) and any other provision in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document providing for the delivery of, any Approved Electronic Communication by any other means, the Loan Parties shall deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the Administrative Agent by properly transmitting such Approved
Electronic Communications electronically (in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) to oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com or such other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Administrative Agent may
notify the Borrower. Nothing in this clause (c) shall prejudice the right of the Administrative 

  

 114 

 
Agent or any Lender or Issuer to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to any Loan Party in any manner authorized in this Agreement. 
  
 Section 11.9. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the
part of any Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
  
 Section 11.10. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and thereafter this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrowers shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of the Lenders. On the Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and the Existing Credit Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and
effect except as to evidence the incurrence by the Borrowers’ of the Obligations thereunder, as to evidence the representations and warranties made by the Borrowers prior to the Effective Date and as to evidence any failure to comply with the
covenants contained in such Existing Credit Agreement occurring prior to the Effective Date. The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Administrative Agent’s, the Lenders’ and the Issuers’ rights and remedies under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall apply to all of the Obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Notes issued as of April 7, 2000. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that this Agreement is
in no way intended to constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit Agreement or evidence payment of all or any of such obligations and liabilities. Other than with respect to Liens on the assets of the
Loan Parties constituting Senior Secured Note Collateral, each Borrower party to the Existing Credit Agreement reaffirms the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuers pursuant to each of the Loan
Documents executed by such Borrower, which Liens shall continue in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement and any renewals thereof and shall continue to secure the Obligations identified in such Loan Documents. All references to the
Existing Credit Agreement (or to any amendment or any amendment and restatement thereof) in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement. 
  
 Section 11.11. Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed
and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. 
  
 Section 11.12. Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process. 
  
 (a) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New
York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any
objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective
jurisdictions. 
  

 115 

 (b) Terra UK hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers Terra Industries (the “Process
Agent”), in the case of any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and
all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document. Such service may be made by mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid) or delivering a copy of such process to Terra UK in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, and Terra UK hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an
alternative method of service, Terra UK irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to the Process Agent or
Terra UK at its address specified in Section 11.8. The Borrower 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. Terra Capital hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering of a copy of such process to such Borrower at its address specified in Section 11.8. Each such Borrower 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. 
  
 (c) Nothing contained in this Section 11.12 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 (d) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into
another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars
with such other currency at the spot rate of exchange quoted by the Administrative Agent at 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given, for the purchase of Dollars, for delivery two Business Days
thereafter. 
  
 Section 11.13. Waiver of Jury Trial.
EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE ISSUERS AND THE
BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. 
  
 Section 11.14. No Immunity. To the extent that Terra UK
may be or become entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to claim for itself or its properties or revenues any immunity from suit, court
jurisdiction, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution of a judgment or from any other legal process or remedy relating to its respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and
to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such an immunity (whether 

  

 116 

 
or not claimed), Terra UK hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of
such jurisdiction. 
  
 Section 11.15. Judgment
Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars is of the essence, and Dollars shall in each instance be the currency of account and payment in all instances. A payment obligation in Dollars
hereunder shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency (the “Other Currency”), whether pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any Other Currency or in another place except to the extent that such
tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Lenders of the full amount of Dollars payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to
convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into the Other Currency, the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase U.S. Dollars in New York, New York
with the Other Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of Terra UK in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any sum adjudged to be due
hereunder in the Other Currency the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with the amount of the judgment currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against, and to pay the Administrative Agent and Lenders on demand, in Dollars, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders in Dollars hereunder exceeds the amount of the Other Currency so purchased. 
  
 Section 11.16. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer shall be under any
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrowers or any other party or any other Lender which does not have an equivalent interest in the Revolving Credit Facility or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent
that the Borrowers make a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuers or any of such Persons receives payment from the proceeds of the Collateral or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery,
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, right and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not
occurred. 
  
 Section 11.17. Section Titles.
The Section titles contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto. 
  
 Section 11.18. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature
pages may be detached from multiple separate 

  

 117 

 
counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. 
  
 Section 11.19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement,
together with all of the other Loan Documents and all certificates and documents delivered hereunder or thereunder, embodies the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof. 
  
 Section 11.20. Confidentiality.
Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (a) agrees to keep information obtained by it pursuant hereto and the other Loan Documents confidential in accordance with such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, customary
practices and (b) agrees that it will only use such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and not disclose any of such information other than (i) to such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s, as
the case may be, employees, representatives and agents who are or are expected to be involved in the evaluation of such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and who are advised of the confidential nature of
such information, (ii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers, (iii) to the extent
disclosure is required by law, regulation or judicial order or requested or required by bank regulators or auditors, or (iv) to assignees or participants or potential assignees or participants who agree to be bound by the provisions of this
Section 11.20. 
  
 Section 11.21. Refund of Tax
Credits. If: 
  
 (a) Terra UK makes a payment under
Section 2.16(a) (a “Tax Payment”) in respect of a payment to a Lender or the Administrative Agent under this agreement; and 
  
 (b) that Lender or the Administrative Agent determines in its discretion that it has obtained a refund of tax or obtained and used a credit against tax on
its overall net income (a “Tax Credit”) which that Lender or as appropriate the Administrative Agent in its discretion is able to identify as attributable to that Tax Payment, 
  
 then if it can do so without any adverse consequences for that Lender or if applicable the
Administrative Agent, that Lender or if applicable the Administrative Agent shall reimburse Terra UK such amount as that Lender or if applicable the Administrative Agent determines to be such proportion of that Tax Credit as will leave that Lender
or if applicable the Administrative Agent (after that reimbursement) in no better or worse position in respect of its overall tax liabilities than it would have been in if no Tax Payment had been required. A Lender or where applicable the
Administrative Agent shall have an absolute discretion as to whether to claim any Tax Credit (and, if it does claim, the extent order and manner in which it does so). Neither the Lender nor the Administrative Agent should be obliged to disclose any
of its tax affairs or computations to Terra UK or any other Loan Party.
