CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS, INC. 

EXECUTIVE OFFICER SEVERANCE PLAN

Restatement Date:  November 15, 2017

    

I.    Introduction

This document is the Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. Executive Officer Severance Plan (the “Plan”).  (Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. is referred to as “the Company” in this document.)  The purpose of severance pay is to help ease the financial burden resulting from the Executive Officer’s loss of employment under certain circumstances.  

II.    Eligibility for Severance Pay

An Executive Officer is eligible for severance pay hereunder when the Executive Officer’s loss of employment results from (i) the involuntary termination by the Company without Cause, (ii) Executive’s resignation for Good Reason, or (iii) termination of employment due to a Reduction-in-Force, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Plan.  Such termination must also constitute a Separation from Service.  In all cases, the Executive Officer must execute, return and not rescind a release of claims in a form supplied by and reasonably satisfactory to the Company.  

III.    Definitions

A.    Base Salary means the then-current annual base salary payable to the Executive Officer in effect on the date of the Executive Officer’s termination of employment; provided, however, that if an Eligible Officer is on an approved short-term disability leave or on designated leave pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act or other similar law, “Base Salary” shall mean such Executive Officer’s then-current annual base salary immediately preceding the inception of the leave.  Base Salary shall not be reduced for any salary reduction contributions (i) to cash or deferred arrangements under Code Section 401(k), (ii) to a cafeteria plan under Code Section 125, or (iii) to a nonqualified deferred compensation plan.  Subject to paragraph (b) in the definition of “Salary Continuation Benefits,” Base Salary shall not take into account or include any bonuses, reimbursed expenses, credits or benefits (including benefits under any plan of deferred compensation), or any additional cash compensation or compensation payable in a form other than cash.

B.    Cause means (i) the Executive Officer’s neglect of any of his material duties or his failure to carry out reasonable directives from the Board of Directors or its designees;     (ii) any willful or deliberate misconduct that is injurious to the Company; (iii) any statement, representation or warranty made to the Board or its designees by the Executive Officer that the Executive Officer knows is false or materially misleading; or (iv)    the Executive Officer’s commission of a felony, whether or not against the Company and whether or not committed during the Executive Officer’s employment.

C.    Change of Control means any of the following events occurring after the effective date of this Plan:

		
	(a)
	A merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party if the individuals and entities who were stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the effective date of such merger or consolidation have, immediately following 

1

the effective date of such merger or consolidation, beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d‐3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of securities issued by the surviving corporation for the election of directors of the surviving corporation;

		
	(b)
	The acquisition of direct or indirect beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of securities of the Company by any person or entity or by a group of associated persons or entities acting in concert in one or a series of transactions, which causes the aggregate beneficial ownership of such person, entity or group to equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s then issued and outstanding securities;

		
	(c)
	The sale of the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety, to any person or entity that is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company;

		
	(d)
	The stockholders of the Company approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation of the Company;

		
	(e)
	A change in the composition of the Board of the Company at any time during any consecutive twenty-four (24) month period such that the “Continuity Directors” no longer constitute at least a seventy percent (70%) majority of the Board.  For purposes of this event, “Continuity Directors” means those members of the Board who were directors at the beginning of such consecutive twenty-four (24) month period and any directors whose election was unanimously approved by the directors serving at the beginning of such 24 month period; or

		
	(f)
	The Company enters into a letter of intent, an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement relating to an event described in Sections (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above that ultimately results in such a Change of Control, or a tender or exchange offer or proxy contest is commenced that ultimately results in an event described in Sections (b) or (e) above.

D.    Code means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

E.    Compensation Committee means the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, or any similar successor committee.

F.    Executive Officer means (i) the Chief Executive Officer; (ii) the Chief Financial Officer; (iii) the Chief Operating Officer; (iv) the Executive Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents; (v) the Vice Presidents and other corporate officers; (vi) any other officers of the Company who have been designated by the Board of Directors as “officers” within the meaning of 

2

Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (vii) such other employees designated by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, to participate in this Plan.

G.    Good Reason means the occurrence of any of the following without Executive’s consent: 

		
	(a)
	a material diminution in Executive’s Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control;

		
	(b)

	(d)
	a material diminution in the budget over which Executive retains authority as in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control; 

		
	(e)
	requiring Executive to be based at a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from the location of Executive’s principal office immediately prior to a Change of Control; 

		
	(f)
	the Company’s failure to provide Executive with the same target bonus opportunity as in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control; 

		
	(g)
	the Company’s failure to provide Executive with employee benefit plans (including, but not limited to, a qualified retirement plan, equity compensation plans or similar arrangements, life insurance, health insurance, disability insurance and other fringe benefit plans) that provide substantially similar benefits in the aggregate as the benefits provided to Executive immediately prior to a Change of Control; or

		
	(h)
	any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of any agreement under which Executive provides services.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s resignation shall not constitute resignation for Good Reason unless (i) Executive notifies the Company in writing within ninety (90) days after the initial existence of any condition that constitutes Good Reason, (ii) the Company fails to cure the condition within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice, and (iii) Executive resigns within ninety (90) days after the end of such thirty-day cure period.  

3

H.    Reduction-in-Force means a work force reduction, restructuring, or other cost containment or business decision involving the termination of employment of Company employees that is designated by the Compensation Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time as a “Reduction-in-Force,” which designation shall be binding for purposes of this Plan.

I.    Separation from Service means the Executive Officer’s termination of employment with the Company other than death or disability.  The Executive Officer shall not be deemed to have a Separation from Service while the Executive Officer is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of the leave does not exceed six (6) months or, if longer, the Executive Officer’s right to reemployment with the Company is provided either by statute or contract.  If the period of leave exceeds six (6) months and the  Executive Officer’s right to reemployment is not provided either by statute or contract, the Executive Officer shall be deemed to have a Separation from Service on the first day immediately following such six (6) month period.  A termination of employment will be deemed to occur if, based on the facts and circumstances, the Executive Officer and the Company reasonably anticipate that no further services would be performed by the Executive Officer (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) after the termination date or that the level of the Executive Officer’s services would permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed by the Executive Officer (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the period of time that the Executive Officer performed services for the Company, if less than 36 months).  Such determination shall be made in accordance with Code Section 409A and the regulations, notices and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.  

J.    Severance Period means the period of time set forth in Exhibit A.

K.    Salary Continuation Benefits means:

(a)    In the case of (i) an involuntary termination by the Company without Cause, or (ii) termination of employment due to a Reduction-in-Force that, in either case, does not occur within 24 months following the effective date of a Change of Control, the continued payment during the Severance Period of the Executive Officer’s Base Salary.

(b)    In the case of (i) an involuntary termination by the Company without Cause, (ii) Executive’s resignation for Good Reason, or (iii) termination of employment due to a Reduction-in-Force that, in any case, occurs within 24 months following the effective date of a Change of Control, the payment during the Severance Period of the Executive Officer’s Base Salary, but increased to an amount equal to the sum of (i) Executive Officer’s Base Salary and (ii) the target bonus amount that Executive Officer was eligible to earn for the fiscal year in which termination occurs under the Company’s cash bonus plan assuming 100% achievement against the Company’s budgets.
 

4

IV.    Amount of Payment.

An Executive Officer who is eligible for severance benefits under this Plan shall receive Salary Continuation Benefits until the earlier of (i) the end of the Executive Officer’s Severance Period, or (ii) the date the Executive Officer fails to comply with the provisions of any employment or other written agreement in effect between the Executive Officer and the Company that contains non-competition, confidentiality and/or non-solicitation provisions.  The Executive Officer’s Salary Continuation Benefit shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practice on the regularly scheduled paydays on which the Executive Officer would have otherwise been paid during the Severance Period if a termination of employment had not occurred. 

V.    Time of Payment 

Salary Continuation Benefits shall commence on the next regularly scheduled payday coinciding with or immediately following the 60th day after the termination of the Executive Officer’s employment, provided that the Executive Officer has executed and submitted a release of claims in a form supplied by and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and (i) the statutory rescission periods during which the Executive Officer is entitled to revoke such release have expired on or before that 60th day, and (ii) the Executive Officer has not in fact revoked such release of claims by that 60th day.  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive Officer is a “specified employee” as defined in Code Section 409A and the regulations, notices and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder, then to the extent any amount payable pursuant to this Article V is subject to and not otherwise exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, no payment of such amount shall be made before the first day of the seventh (7th) month period immediately following the date on which the Executive Officer experiences a Separation from Service, or if earlier, on the date of the Executive Officer’s death.  Each amount that is paid to an Executive Officer pursuant to this Article V shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 

VI.    Effect on Other Benefits.  

In addition to Salary Continuation Benefits, an Executive Officer who is eligible for severance benefits under this Plan shall receive payment for a pro rata portion of any performance bonus for which the performance period has not expired prior to his or her termination of employment, with such pro rata portion based on that portion of the performance period during which the Executive Officer was employed.  Such pro rata bonus shall be determined after the end of the performance period, and shall be paid at the same time and in the same manner as provided under the Company’s bonus plan.  

The Executive Officer will be paid for any accrued and unused vacation in accordance with the Company’s regular vacation policy, and this Plan does not affect payments made under that policy.  

The Executive Officer will have the right to continue his or her medical, dental and/or life insurance benefits to the extent required by applicable federal or state law.  If the Executive Officer timely 

5

elects to continue such coverage, the Company will pay its ordinary share of the premiums for such coverage during the Severance Period, provided that the Executive Officer timely pays his or her share of the premiums, if any.  If continuation of such coverage remains available after under applicable federal or state law after the Severance Period, the Executive Officer will be required to timely pay the full cost of the premiums for such coverage.

Upon the Executive Officer’s involuntary termination by the Company without Cause or termination of employment due to a Reduction-in-Force, the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors (as applicable) shall take any action that may be required under the terms of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plans to (i) accelerate the vesting of that portion of any outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards or other equity awards previously granted to the Executive Officer that would have vested within the 12-month period immediately following the Executive Officer’s termination of employment, (ii) permit any outstanding stock options to remain exercisable for 180 days following the Executive Officer’s termination of employment, and (iii) provide that, if the Executive Officer breaches any noncompetition, nondisparagement or nonsolicitation provisions of any employment or other written agreement in effect between the Executive Officer and the Company, the Executive Officer shall immediately forfeit any and all rights in any outstanding equity awards and shall immediately forfeit any shares of the Company’s Common Stock that the Executive Officer previously received under such equity awards.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such equity awards are intended to be qualified performance-based awards under Code Section 162(m), the vesting of such awards shall be accelerated only if and to the extent permitted by Code Section 162(m) and the regulations issued thereunder.

All other Company-provided benefits (for example, any other paid leave, disability insurance coverage, etc.) will end on the Executive Officer’s termination date.

VII.      Right to Terminate.

The Company reserves the right to change this Plan at any time to any extent and in any manner that it may deem advisable.  While the Company expects this Plan to continue, the Company further reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time.  Further, the Company specifically reserves the right to amend this Plan without any Executive Officer’s consent to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations, notices and other guidance of general application issued thereunder, and with any other applicable federal or state law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not amend or terminate this Plan in any manner that diminishes the benefits paid hereunder: (i) within 24 months after a Change of Control, (ii) if such amendment or termination was requested by a party (other than the Board of Directors of the Company) that had previously taken other steps reasonably calculated to result in a Change of Control and that ultimately results in a Change of Control, or (iii) if such amendment or termination arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control that ultimately occurs.

6

VIII.     General Plan Provisions

A.    Withholding.  The Company shall be entitled to deduct from all payments or benefits provided for under this Plan any federal, state or local income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments or benefits.  

B.    No Employment Rights.  Participation in the Plan does not give an Executive Officer any rights to continuing employment with the Company.  

C.    Successors and Assigns.  An Executive Officer’s rights under this Plan shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the Executive Officer, his or her heirs and the personal representative of his or her estate.  Except as otherwise provided, this Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. The Company shall not be a party to any Change of Control unless and until its obligations under the Plan are expressly assumed by any successor or successors or are otherwise continued as required by Section VII.

D.    Notices.  Notices and all other communications required under the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.  Any such notice or other communication provided to the Company shall be sent to the address of the Agent for Service of Legal Process set forth below, or to such other address as the Company may have furnished in writing.  Any such notice or other communication provided to an Executive Officer shall be addressed to the last-known address that the Company has on file for such Executive Officer.

E.    No Assignments.  Benefits under the Plan cannot be assigned, transferred or sold to anyone else.  Benefits also cannot be used as collateral for loans or pledged in payment of debts, contracts or any other liability.  

F.    Superseding Effect.  This Plan replaces any and all severance pay plans, policies or practices, written or unwritten, that the Company may have had in effect for its Executive Officers from time to time prior to the Effective Date, including the Executive Officer Severance Plan dated June 28, 2010, as amended.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Plan shall adversely affect the rights an Executive Officer may have to severance payments under any employment or other written agreement executed by and between the Company and the Executive Officer (hereinafter referred to as a “Severance Agreement”); provided, however, that in the event the Executive Officer is entitled to and is receiving severance benefits under his Severance Agreement, the Executive Officer shall receive the severance benefits under his Severance Agreement first, and then shall be eligible for benefits under this Plan, but only to the extent such benefits are not duplicative of the benefits previously paid pursuant to such Severance Agreement, with the maximum severance benefits payable to such Eligible Officer under both the Plan and the Severance Agreement equal to the maximum aggregate benefit payable to the Executive Officer under the Severance Agreement or this Plan, whichever is greater.

7

G.    Governing Law.  To the extent not preempted by ERISA, the validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan shall in all respects be governed by the laws of Minnesota, without reference to principles of conflict of law.

H.    Code Section 409A.  It is intended that any amounts payable under the Plan will be exempt from or comply with the applicable requirements, if any, of Code Section 409A and the notices, regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder, and the Company will interpret the Plan in a manner that will preclude the imposition of additional taxes and interest under Code Section 409A.  Any payments under the Plan that may be excluded from Code Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral will be so excluded to the maximum extent possible.

	X.
	Claims Procedures

If an Executive Officer does not agree with the way his or her claim for benefits has been handled, the Executive Officer may object in writing during the 30-day period after the date payment of benefits is to begin, or would begin if any benefits were payable.  The Executive Officer’s authorized representative may also object on the Executive Officer’s behalf, subject to any documentation required by the Company to verify that such representative has that authority.

The Company must respond to the Executive Officer’s written objection.  That response must be in writing and must be provided to the Executive Officer during the 90-day period following the Company’s receipt of the written objection.  However, if special circumstances require an extension of the time period for the Company to make a decision, the Company will, within the initial 90-day period, notify the Executive Officer of those circumstances and the date by which the Company expects to make its decision.  In no event will the Company have longer than 180 days from the receipt of the Executive Officer’s written objection to make its decision.  The Company will issue a written explanation of its decision, which must:

		
	•
	State the reason(s) why the Executive Officer’s claim for benefits was denied;

		
	•
	Specifically refer to any Plan provisions that formed the basis for the Company’s decision; 

		
	•
	Describe any additional material or information necessary for the Executive Officer to perfect his or her claim and why that material or information is necessary; and

		
	•
	Describe the procedures the Executive Officer must follow to have his or her claim reviewed further, including the Executive Officer’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA in the event of an adverse decision.

If an Executive Officer disagrees with the Company’s decision, the Executive Officer may request an appeal by filing a written application for review with the Company within the 60-day period following the Executive Officer’s receipt of the notice of denial of his or her original claim.  The Executive Officer will be entitled to review any applicable documents or other records, to request copies of such documents or other records without charge, and to submit written comments, documents or other materials relating to his or her claim for benefits.  The Company must provide the Executive Officer with a decision on his or her appeal within 60 days following receipt of the Executive Officer’s written request.  However, if special circumstances require an extension of the time period for the Company to make a decision, the Company will, within the initial 60-day period, notify the Executive Officer of those circumstances and the date by which the Company expects to make its decision.  In no event will the Company have longer than 120 days to make its decision.  The Company will issue a written explanation of its decision, which will be considered final.  That explanation must: 

		
	•
	State the reason(s) why the Executive Officer’s claim for benefits was denied;

9

		
	•
	Specifically refer to any Plan provisions that formed the basis for the Company’s decision; 

		
	•
	Inform the Executive Officer that he or she may have reasonable access to all documents, records and other materials relevant to his or her claim, and may request copies at no charge; and

		
	•
	Inform the Executive Officer of his or her right to bring a civil action under ERISA.  

If an Executive Officer does not give proper notice or otherwise follow the rules for filing and reviewing claims under the Plan, the Executive Officer and/or the Executive Officer’s beneficiary may not be able to take further legal action, including arbitration, to contest any decision made under the Plan with respect to the Executive Officer’s benefits.

XI.    ERISA Rights

Federal law requires the Company to provide to employees a “Statement of ERISA Rights” set forth in federal regulations.  That statement, which follows, describes some of the Executive Officers’ rights under federal law with respect to the Plan.

As a participant in the Plan, Executive Officers are entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).  ERISA provides that all Plan participants shall be entitled to:

Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits

		
	(a)
	Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as worksites, all documents governing this Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, if any, filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

		
	(b)
	Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of this Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, if any, and updated summary plan description.  The Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.

		
	(c)
	Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report.  The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report.

10

Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries

In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the Plan.  The people who operate the Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other plan participants and beneficiaries.  No one, including the Company or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.

Enforce Your Rights

If your claim for a benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights.  For instance, if you request a copy of documents and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a federal court.  In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator.  If you have a claim for benefits that is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or federal court.  If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries do not administer the Plan in accordance with its terms, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal court.  The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees.  If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees.  If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees; for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.

Assistance with Your Questions

If you have any questions about this Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator.  If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210.  You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

			﻿
		

		
			Ladies and Gentlemen:
		

		
			The undersigned, WD-40 Company, a Delaware corporation  (the “Company”), agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows:
		

		
			1Authorization of Notes
		

		
			1ASeries A Notes.
		

		
			The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.39%  Series A Senior Notes due November 15, 2032 (the “Series A Notes”).  The Series A Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit A-1.  Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B and, for purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Section 21.4 shall govern.
		

		
			1BAuthorization of Issue of Shelf Notes.
		

		
			The Company will authorize the issue and sale of its additional senior notes (the “Shelf Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $105,000,000, to be dated the date of issue thereof, to mature, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, no more than 151⁄2  years after the date of original issuance thereof, to have an average life, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, of no more than 151⁄2  years after the date of original issuance thereof, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to such Shelf Note delivered pursuant to Section 2B(5), and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2.  The Series A Notes and the Shelf Notes are referred to herein as the “Notes.”  Notes that have (i) the same final maturity, (ii) the same principal prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment amounts (as a percentage of the original principal amount of each Note), (iv) the same interest rate, (v) the same interest payment periods, and (vi) the same date of issuance (which, in the case of a Note issued in exchange for another Note, shall be deemed for these purposes the

		date on which such Note’s ultimate predecessor Note was issued), are herein called a “Series” of Notes.
		

		
			2Sale And Purchase of Notes
		

		
			2ASALE AND PURCHASE OF SERIES A NOTES.
		

		
			Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Series A Purchaser and each Series A Purchaser will purchase from the Company,  on the Series A Closing Day as provided for in Section 3, Series A Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof.  The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.
		

		
			2BSale and Purchase of Shelf Notes.
		

		
			2B(1)Facility.  PIM is willing to consider, in its sole discretion and within limits that may be authorized for purchase by PIM and Prudential Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement.  The willingness of PIM to consider such purchase of Shelf Notes is herein called the “Facility.”  At any time, (i) the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes stated in Section 1B,  minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement prior to such time, minus (iii) the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Notes (as hereinafter defined) which have not yet been purchased and sold hereunder prior to such time, is herein called the “Available Facility Amount” at such time.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF PIM TO CONSIDER PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER PIM NOR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE SHELF NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES, SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, AND THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY PIM OR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE.
		

		
			2B(2)Issuance Period.  Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to the Facility until the earlier of (i) November 15, 2020 (or if such date is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such date), and (ii) the thirtieth day after PIM shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to PIM, written notice stating that it elects to terminate the Facility (or if such thirtieth day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such thirtieth day).  The period during which Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to the Facility is herein called the “Issuance Period.”
		

		
			2B(3)Request For Purchase.  The Company may from time to time during the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Shelf Notes (each such request being herein called a “Request for Purchase”).  Each Request for Purchase shall be made to PIM by email or overnight delivery service, and shall (i) specify the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes covered thereby, which shall not be less than $5,000,000 and not be greater than the Available Facility

		Amount at the time such Request for Purchase is made, (ii) specify the principal amounts, final maturities (which shall be no more than 151⁄2  years from the date of original issuance), and principal prepayment dates and amounts (which shall result in an average life of no more than 151⁄2  years from the date of original issuance) of the Shelf Notes covered thereby, (iii) specify the interest payment periods (which shall be monthly, quarterly or semi-annually), (iv) specify the use of proceeds of such Shelf Notes, (v) specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Shelf Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than 10 Business Days and not more than 90 days after the making of such Request for Purchase, (vi) specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository institution to which the purchase prices of such Shelf Notes are to be transferred on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale, (vii) certify that the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 are true on and as of the date of such Request for Purchase and that there exists on the date of such Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default, and (viii) be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto.  Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing and shall be deemed made when received by PIM.

		
		
			2B(4)Rate Quotes.  Not later than 5 Business Days after the Company shall have given PIM a Request for Purchase pursuant to Section 2B(3), PIM may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to the Company by telephone interest rate quotes for the several principal amounts, maturities and principal prepayment schedules, and interest payment periods of Shelf Notes specified in such Request for Purchase.  Each quote shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which PIM or a Prudential Affiliate would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof.
		

		
			2B(5)Acceptance.  Within 2 minutes after PIM shall have provided any interest rate quotes pursuant to Section 2B(4) or such shorter period as PIM may specify to the Company (such period herein called the “Acceptance Window”), the Company may, subject to Section 2B(6), elect to accept such interest rate quotes as to not less than $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase.  Such election shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Company notifying PIM by telephone or email within the Acceptance Window (but not earlier than 9:30 a.m. or later than 1:30 p.m. (or such later time as PIM may agree), New York City local time) that the Company elects to accept such interest rate quotes, specifying the Shelf Notes (each such Shelf Note being herein called an “Accepted Note”) as to which such acceptance (herein called an “Acceptance”) relates.  The day the Company notifies PIM of an Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is herein called the “Acceptance Day” for such Accepted Notes.  Any interest rate quotes as to which PIM does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes.  Subject to Section 2B(6) and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to PIM or a Prudential Affiliate, and PIM agrees to purchase, or to cause the purchase by a Prudential Affiliate of, the Accepted Notes at 100% of the principal amount of such Accepted Notes.  As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Company, PIM and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit C (herein called a “Confirmation of Acceptance”).

			2B(6)Market Disruption.  Notwithstanding Section 2B(5), if PIM shall have provided interest rate quotes pursuant to Section 2B(4) and thereafter, prior to the time an Acceptance with respect to such quotes shall have been notified to PIM in accordance with Section 2B(5), the domestic market for United States treasury securities or derivatives shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for United States treasury securities or derivatives, then such interest rate quotes shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes.  If the Company thereafter notifies PIM of the Acceptance of any such interest rate quotes, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and PIM shall promptly notify the Company that the provisions of this Section 2B(6) are applicable with respect to such Acceptance.
		

		
			2B(7)Facility Closings.  Not later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City local time) on the Closing Day for any Accepted Notes, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto at the offices of Vedder Price P.C.,  275 Battery Street, Suite 2464, San Francisco, California 94111 (or such other address as PIM may specify in writing), the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Notes to be purchased on such Closing Day, dated the applicable Closing Day and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against payment of the purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the account specified in the Request for Purchase of such Notes.  If the Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted Notes as provided above in this paragraph 2B(7), or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled Closing Day, the Company shall, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day notify PIM (which notification shall be deemed received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than one Business Day and not more than 10 Business Days after such scheduled Closing Day (the “Rescheduled Closing Day”)) and certify to PIM (which certification shall be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the conditions set forth in Section 4 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee in accordance with Section 2B(8)(ii), or (ii) such closing is to be canceled and the Company will pay the Cancellation Fee as provided in Section 2B(8)(iii).  In the event that the Company shall fail to give such notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, PIM (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after 2:00 p.m., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company in writing that such closing is to be canceled and the Company is obligated to pay the Cancellation Fee as provided in Section 2B(8)(iii).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement, the Company may elect to reschedule a closing with respect to any given Accepted Notes on not more than one occasion, unless PIM shall have otherwise consented in writing.

			2B(8)Fees.
		

		
			2B(8)(i)[Intentionally omitted.]
		

		
			2B(8)(ii)Delayed Delivery Fee.  If the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note, the Company shall pay to or as directed by PIM, on the Cancellation Date or actual Closing Day of such purchase and sale, an amount (the “Delayed Delivery Fee”) equal to:
		

		
			(BEY - MMY) X DTS/360 X PA
		

		
			where “BEY” means Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per annum of such Accepted Note; “MMY” means Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield per annum on an alternative Dollar investment of the highest quality selected by PIM having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled Closing Day from time to time fixed for the delayed delivery of such Accepted Note; “DTS” means Days to Settlement, i.e., the number of actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note to but excluding the date of such payment; and “PA” means Principal Amount, i.e., the principal amount of the Accepted Note for which such calculation is being made.
		

		
			In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero.  Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Accepted Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with Section 2B(7).
		

		
			2B(8)(iii)Cancellation Fee.  If the Company at any time notifies PIM in writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note, or if PIM notifies the Company in writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of paragraph 2B(5) or the penultimate sentence of Section 2B(7) that the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or if the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not consummated on or prior to the last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any such notification, or the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being herein called the “Cancellation Date”), the Company shall pay to or as directed by PIM in immediately available funds on the Cancellation Date an amount (the “Cancellation Fee”) equal to:
		

		
			PI X PA
		

		
			where “PI” means Price Increase, i.e., the quotient (expressed in decimals) obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the ask price (as determined by PIM) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid price (as determined by PIM) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note by (b) such bid price; and “PA” has the meaning ascribed to it in paragraph 2B(8)(ii).  The foregoing bid and ask prices shall be as reported by such publicly available source of such market data as is then customarily used by PIM, and rounded to the second decimal place.
		

		
			In no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero.

The Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of U.S. federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate.

			5.12Compliance with Employee Benefit Plans.
		

		
			(a)The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to section 430(k) of the Code or to any such penalty or excise tax provisions under the Code  or federal law or section 4068 of ERISA or by the granting of a security interest in connection with the amendment of a Plan, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate Material.

The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Non-U.S. Plan that is funded, determined as of the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of reasonable actuarial assumptions, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Non-U.S. Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.  The term “benefit liabilities” has the meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA.
		

		
			(c)The Company and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred (i) withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are Material or (ii)

Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

			8.5Purchase of Notes.
		

		
			The Company will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes of any Series except (i) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes of such Series in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes of such Series, or (ii) pursuant to a written offer to purchase any outstanding Notes of such Series made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes of such Series at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions.  The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement, and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.
		

		
			8.6Make-Whole Amount.
		

		
			The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero.  For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:
		

		
			“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.
		

		
			“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
		

		
			“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a)  0.50% plus  (b)  the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.  If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.
		

		

		

		 

		

			25

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.  If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.
		

		
			“Remaining Average Life”  means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
		

		
			“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date; provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.
		

		
			“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.
		

		
			8.7Payments Due on Non-Business Days.    Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) except as set forth in clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

			9.1Compliance with Laws.  Without limiting Section 10.17, the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject (including ERISA, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16) and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		
			9.2Insurance.    The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.
		

		
			9.3Maintenance of Properties.  The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (b) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		 

		

			27

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		
			9.5Maintenance of Existence, Etc.  The Company will at all times preserve and keep its legal existence in full force and effect.  Subject to Sections 10.4 and 10.5, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the legal existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such legal existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		
			9.6Books and Records.    The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.  The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets.  The Company and its Subsidiaries have devised a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that their respective books, records, and accounts accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets and the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, continue to maintain such system.
		

		
			9.7Guaranty by Subsidiaries.  The Company will cause each Person which becomes a guarantor or borrower or which otherwise becomes an obligor with respect to any senior unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including under the Bank Credit Agreement or any document related thereto, but excluding Indebtedness permitted under Section 10.3(f)) concurrently therewith (i) to execute and deliver to each holder of Notes an appropriate joinder to each of the Multiparty Guaranty and the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement and (ii) to deliver (or cause to be delivered) such certificates accompanying authorizing resolutions, corporate or similar constitutive documents, and other agreements, opinions, instruments and other documents as the Required Holders may reasonably request, with each of the foregoing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.

If at any time any lender or other provider of credit under any Principal Credit Facility has the benefit of one or more financial or operational covenants (whether set forth as a covenant, an event of default or otherwise) that is different than, or similar to but more restrictive than, the financial or operational covenants (whether set forth as a covenant, an event of default or otherwise) in this Agreement  (each such financial or operational covenant of any Principal Credit Facility referred to herein as a “Most Favored Provision”), then (a) each such Most Favored Provision shall immediately and automatically be incorporated by reference in this Agreement as if set forth fully herein, mutatis mutandis, and no such Most Favored Provision may thereafter be waived, amended or otherwise modified under this Agreement except (x) pursuant to Section 17 (Amendment and Waiver) and (y) as specified in each of Sections 10.2(h), 10.3(e), 10.5(c), 10.6(d) and 10.15, and (b) the Company shall promptly, and in any event within 5 Business Days after entering into any Most Favored Provision, so advise the holders of Notes in writing.  Thereafter, upon the request of the Required Holders, the Company shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement with the Required Holders evidencing the incorporation of such Most Favored Provision, it being agreed and acknowledged that any failure to make such request or to enter into any such amendment shall in no way qualify or limit the incorporation by reference described in clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence.

			12.2Other Remedies.
		

		
			If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note or other Transaction Document, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

			12.4No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc.
		

		
			No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies.  No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Note or any other Transaction Document upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

			Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 or any other Transaction Document applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver.  No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon.  No course of dealing between any Credit Party and any holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note or any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note.
		

		
			17.4Notes Held by Company, Etc.
		

		
			Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes or any Series thereof then outstanding have approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, the Notes or any Series thereof or under any other Transaction Document, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein, in the Notes or any Series thereof or in any other Transaction Document to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes or any Series thereof then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

			46

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced.  The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.  This Section 19 shall not prohibit any party hereto or any other holder of a Note from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.
		

		
			20CONFIDENTIALITY.
		

		
			For the purposes of this Section 20,  “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary, or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available.  Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers and employees, (ii) its agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (iii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (iv) any other holder of any Note, (v) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (vi) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (vii) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (viii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (ix) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party, or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.  Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement.  On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder 
		

		 

		

			47

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 20.
		

		
			In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.
		

		
			21MISCELLANEOUS.
		

		
			21.1Successors and Assigns.
		

		
			All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
		

		
			21.2Accounting Terms.
		

		
			All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.  For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Company or any Subsidiary to measure any financial liability or other accounting metric using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25 – Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments:  Recognition and Measurement or any other accounting standard that would result in any financial liability being set forth at an amount less than the actual outstanding principal amount thereof) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.
		

		
			21.3Severability.
		

		
			Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
		

		 

		

			48

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		
			21.4Construction.
		

		
			Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant.  Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.
		

		
			Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.  Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms.  The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.”  The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.”  Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein) and, for purposes of the Notes, shall also include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13, (b) subject to Section 21.1, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Sections and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Sections of, and Schedules to, this Agreement, and (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.
		

		
			21.5Counterparts.
		

		
			This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.  Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.
		

		
			21.6Governing Law.
		

		
			This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such state that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such state.
		

		

		

		 

		

			49

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		
		

		
			21.7Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.    (a)  The Company irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
		

		
			(b)The Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 21.7(a) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets are or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.
		

		
			(c)The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 21.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered,  certified, priority or express mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt or delivery confirmation requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section.  The Company agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.  Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.
		

		
			(d)Nothing in this Section 21.7 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.
		

		
			(e)THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.
		

		
			WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if an action or other proceeding is brought in the State of California and if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between or among them concerning this Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents and the matters contemplated hereby or thereby (each, a “Claim”), including any and all questions of law or fact relating thereto, shall be determined by judicial reference pursuant to 
		

		 

		

			50

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		the California Code of Civil Procedure (“Reference”).  The parties shall select a single neutral referee, who shall be a retired state or federal judge.  In the event that the parties cannot agree upon a referee, the referee shall be appointed by the court.  The referee shall report a statement of decision to the court.  Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise any self-help remedies, foreclose against any collateral or obtain provisional remedies.  The Company shall bear the fees and expenses of the referee unless the referee orders otherwise.  The referee shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.
		

		
			21.8Transaction References.    The Company agrees that Prudential Capital Group may (a) refer to its role in the origination and structuring of the Facility and the purchase of the Series A Notes thereunder from the Company, as well as the identity of the Company and the aggregate principal amount and issue date of the Series A Notes and the aggregate principal amount under the Facility for the potential future issue of other Series of Notes, on its internet site or in marketing materials, press releases, published “tombstone” announcements or any other print or electronic medium, and (b) display the Company’s corporate logo in conjunction with any such reference.

			MULTIPARTY GUARANTY
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			This MULTIPARTY GUARANTY (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), dated as of November 15, 2017, is made jointly and severally by each of the Persons listed on the signature pages hereof as Guarantors and each of the other Persons that from time to time becomes an Additional Guarantor pursuant to the terms of Section 14 hereof (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”), in favor and for the benefit of each of the holders from time to time of the Notes referred to below (each a “Beneficiary” and collectively the “Beneficiaries”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Note Agreement (as defined below).
		

		
			RECITALS
		

		
			A.Concurrently herewith, WD-40 Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is entering into that certain Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Agreement”), with the Purchasers named therein.
		

		
			B.Each Guarantor is a member of an affiliated group of companies that includes the Company and the Guarantors, and the proceeds from the extensions of credit evidenced by the Notes have been used and will be used, in part, to enable such Persons to make transfers among themselves in connection with their respective operations.  Each Guarantor has received and will receive direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Note Agreement.
		

		
			C.It is a condition precedent under the Note Agreement that the Company’s obligations thereunder be guaranteed by the undersigned Guarantors.
		

		
			GUARANTY
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
		

		
			1.GUARANTY.
		

		
			(a)Unconditional Guaranty.  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to each of the Beneficiaries the complete payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and due performance of all Guaranteed Obligations.  The term “Guaranteed Obligations” means all loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations for monetary amounts and otherwise from time to time owing by the Company to the Beneficiaries in connection with the Note Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, whether due or to become due, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, contingent or non-contingent, and all covenants and duties regarding such amounts, of any kind or nature, present or future.  This term includes all principal, interest (including interest that accrues after the commencement with 
		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-1-1

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		respect to the Company of any action under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law under any applicable jurisdiction, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowed as a claim in such bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding), overdue interest, the Make-Whole Amount, if any, indemnification payments, fees, if any, expenses, costs or other sums (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of legal counsel, financial advisors and other advisors) chargeable to the Company under the Note Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents.
		

		
			(b)Reimbursement of Expenses Under This Guaranty.  Each Guarantor also agrees to pay upon demand all costs and expenses of the Beneficiaries (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of legal counsel, financial advisors and other advisors) incurred by the Beneficiaries in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty.
		

		
			(c)Guaranteed Obligations Unaffected.  No payment or payments made by any other Guarantor, guarantor or by any other Person, or received or collected by any of the Beneficiaries from any other Guarantor, guarantor or from any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of each of the Guarantors hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payments, remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations, subject to Section 7 below, until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full in cash.
		

		
			(d)Joint and Several Liability.  All Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the expenses required to be reimbursed to the Beneficiaries pursuant to Section 1(b), above, notwithstanding any relationship or contract of co-obligation by or among the Guarantors or their successors and assigns.
		

		
			(e)Enforcement of Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) or any similar provision under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws of any other jurisdiction), that the Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, the unpaid amount of all Guaranteed Obligations owing to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries making such demand.
		

		
			(f)Notice of Payment Under Guaranty.  Each Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to any of the Beneficiaries on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify such Beneficiary in writing that such payment is made under this Guaranty for such purpose.
		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-1-2

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		
			2.SUBROGATION.
		

		
			Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Guarantor hereunder, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, solely with respect to such payment or payments, any and all rights of subrogation to the rights of the Beneficiaries against the Company and, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement, any and all rights of contribution, reimbursement, repayment, assignment, indemnification or implied contract or any similar rights against the Company, any endorser or other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case until such time (subject to Section 7 below) as the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash.  In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any Guaranteed Obligations shall remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall take any action or commence any proceeding against the Company or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any of their respective successors, transferees or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise), to recover any amounts in respect of payments made under this Guaranty to the Beneficiaries.
		

		
			If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation or other rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not (subject to Section 7 below) have been paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Beneficiaries entitled thereto, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over (i) to such Beneficiaries (to be shared ratably based on the respective principal amounts outstanding of Notes held by such Beneficiaries) in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to any such Beneficiary if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations of each of such Beneficiaries, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as such Beneficiary may determine, or (ii) as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
		

		
			3.AMENDMENTS, ETC., WITH RESPECT TO THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS.
		

		
			Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding:  (a) that any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by any Beneficiary may be rescinded by such Beneficiary, and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued; (b) that any of the Note Agreement, the Notes, this Guaranty or the other Transaction Documents may be renewed, extended, amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part (and each Guarantor expressly waives any and all of its rights to consent to any of the foregoing actions described in this clause (b) and agrees that no such action, absent such Guarantor’s consent, will result in the exoneration of such Guarantor under applicable law); (c) that any guaranty, collateral or right of setoff at any time held by any Person for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be obtained, sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released; (d) any loss or impairment of any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, repayment, contribution, indemnification or other similar rights of any Guarantor against the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) any assignment or other transfer by any holder of the Notes of any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Notes; (f) any impossibility of performance, impracticability, frustration of purpose or illegality under the Note Agreement, the Notes, this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document or any force majeure or act of any governmental authority; or (g) any reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the 
		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-1-3

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		Company or any Guarantor with or into any other Person.  Each Guarantor hereby waives any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which such Guarantor might or could have by reason of any of the foregoing and any other defense or objection which such Guarantor might or could have to the absolute, primary and continuing nature, or the validity, enforceability or amount of this Guaranty (other than any defense based upon the final payment in full in cash and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations).
		

		
			4.GUARANTY ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL.
		

		
			Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, amendment, modification or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Beneficiary upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty.  The Note Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents and the Guaranteed Obligations in respect of any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted for or incurred in reliance upon this Guaranty; and all dealings between the Company or the Guarantors, on the one hand, and any of the Beneficiaries, on the other, shall likewise conclusively be presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.  Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Company, the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or itself with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.  This Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not of collection) and is a primary obligation of each Guarantor without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Note Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty or right of setoff with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Beneficiary, (b) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company or any one or more of the other Guarantors against any Beneficiary, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Company or any other Guarantor or guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.
		

		
			When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any of the Guarantors, any Beneficiary may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any other Guarantor or any other Person under a guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of setoff with respect thereto, and any failure by such Beneficiary to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any such other Guarantor or Person or to realize upon any such guaranty or to exercise any such right of setoff, or any release of any such other Guarantor or Person or any such guaranty or right of setoff, shall not relieve the Guarantors of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, 
		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-1-4

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of each of the Beneficiaries against the Guarantors.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			5.RESPONSIBILITY OF GUARANTORS TO STAY INFORMED.
		

		
			Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that it has complete and absolute responsibility for keeping itself informed of the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, the other Guarantors, any and all endorsers and any and all guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the obligations evidenced by the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations, and each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Beneficiaries shall have no duty, obligation or responsibility to advise it of any such facts or other information, whether now known or hereafter ascertained, and each Guarantor hereby waives any such duty, obligation or responsibility on the part of the Beneficiaries to disclose such facts or other information to any Guarantor.
		

		
			6.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
		

		
			Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to each of the Beneficiaries that:
		

		
			(a)Such Guarantor, if it is a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company:  (i) is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation; (ii) is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction where the ownership of its properties or the nature of its business makes such licensing or qualification necessary, (except where the failure to be licensed or qualified could not reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect); (iii) has all requisite organizational power to conduct its business as currently conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted, and to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder; and (iv) is in compliance in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders (except where failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect);
		

		
			(b)Such Guarantor, if it is a general partnership:  (i) has all requisite partnership power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted, to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder; and (ii) is in compliance in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders (except where failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect);
		

		
			(c)The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty (i) have been duly authorized by all requisite action (including obtaining any necessary consents from the equityholder(s) of such Guarantor), and (ii) do not contravene such Guarantor’s charter documents, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement or any similar agreement;
		

		
			(d)Neither the execution nor delivery of this Guaranty will conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or 
		
		
 

		

			Exhibit D-1-5

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of any Guarantor pursuant to, the organizational documents of any such Person, any award of any arbitrator or any agreement (including any agreement with equityholders of such Persons), instrument, order, judgment, decree, statute, law, rule or regulation to which such Person is subject;

		
		
			(e)Neither the nature of any Guarantor or any of its businesses or properties, nor any relationship between the Guarantors or any Subsidiary and any other Person (including the Company), nor any circumstance in connection with this Guaranty require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice to or filing with any governmental authority in connection with the execution and delivery of this Guaranty or the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, other than (i) those that have already been obtained and (ii) those the failure to obtain of which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
		

		
			(f)This Guaranty constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity;
		

		
			(g)There is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of such Guarantor, threatened which questions the validity or legality of or seeks damages in connection with this Guaranty or any of the other Transaction Documents or any action taken or to be taken pursuant to this Guaranty or any of the other Transaction Documents.  There is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of such Guarantor, threatened against such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or any properties or rights of any of the foregoing, by or before any court, arbitrator or administrative or governmental body which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
		

		
			(h)The Guaranteed Obligations are not subject to any offset or defense of any kind against any Beneficiary or the Company;
		

		
			(i)Such Guarantor has made its appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property or assets, condition (financial or otherwise) and creditworthiness of the Company and the other Guarantors and has made its decision to enter into this Guaranty independently based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate and without reliance upon any of the Beneficiaries or any of their partners, directors, trustees, members, officers, agents, designees or employees, and such Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from the Company and the other Guarantors, on a continuing basis, financial or other information pertaining to the business, prospects, operations, property, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the other Guarantors; and
		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-1-6

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		
			(j)Neither such Guarantor nor its properties or assets have any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of process or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) under applicable law.
		

		
			7.TERMINATION; REINSTATEMENT.
		

		
			This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been satisfied by irrevocable payment in full in cash, upon the occurrence of which this Guaranty shall, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, terminate.  This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time the payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by any Beneficiary in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor or in connection with the application of applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law, all as though such payments had not been made.
		

		
			8.PAYMENTS.
		

		
			Each Guarantor hereby agrees, upon demand made upon it for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to any Beneficiary, to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to such Beneficiary without setoff or counterclaim in the applicable currency or currencies and in immediately available funds at the location specified by such Beneficiary pursuant to the Note Agreement.
		

		
			9.SEVERABILITY.
		

		
			Whenever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations.  If, however, any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation, it shall be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without the remainder thereof or any of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty being prohibited or invalid.
		

		
			10.HEADINGS.
		

		
			Section headings in this Guaranty are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Guaranty for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
		

		

		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-1-7

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		
		

		
			11.APPLICABLE LAW.
		

		
			This guaranty shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the state of New York, excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such state that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such state.
		

		
			12.ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
		

		
			This Guaranty constitutes the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Beneficiaries, on the other hand.  There are no oral agreements between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Beneficiaries, on the other hand.
		

		
			13.CONSTRUCTION.
		

		
			Each of the Guarantors and the Beneficiaries acknowledges that it has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Guaranty with such legal counsel.
		

		
			14.ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS.
		

		
			The initial Guarantors hereunder shall be the Subsidiaries of the Company as are signatories on the date hereof.  From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto, as additional Guarantors (each an “Additional Guarantor”), in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.7 of the Note Agreement by executing and delivering to each holder of Notes a Joinder Agreement to this Guaranty in the form of Exhibit A hereto.  Upon delivery of any such executed Joinder Agreement, notice of which is hereby waived by the other Guarantors, each such Additional Guarantor shall be a Guarantor under this Guaranty with the same force and effect, and subject to the same agreements, representations, guaranties, indemnities, liabilities and obligations as if such Additional Guarantor were an original signatory hereof.  Each Guarantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be diminished or otherwise affected by the addition or release of any other Guarantor hereunder, nor by any election of the Beneficiaries not to cause any Person otherwise obligated to become a Guarantor hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Note Agreement to become an Additional Guarantor hereunder.  The addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition or release of any Guarantor to or from this Guaranty.  Each Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver a Consent and Reaffirmation in the form of Exhibit B hereto, or in a form otherwise satisfactory to the Required Holders, on or prior to the effectiveness of each amendment, consent, supplement or other modification of the Note Agreement or the Notes.
		

		
			15.COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS.
		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-1-8

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		
			This Guaranty and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by any Guarantor by facsimile or “PDF” via electronic mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
		

		
			16.WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
		

		
			Subject to Section 14, no amendment, waiver or other modification of any term or provision of this Guaranty or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by the Required Holders and the Guarantors; provided, however, that no such amendment reducing any payment obligations under this Guaranty shall be effective unless signed by each Beneficiary.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor shall assign this Guaranty or any of the rights or obligations of such Guarantor hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.  This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of each of the Beneficiaries and its successors, assigns and transferees.
		

		
			17.ADDRESS FOR NOTICES.
		

		
			All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telefacsimile if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by an internationally recognized commercial delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by an internationally recognized commercial delivery service (with charges prepaid).  Any such notice must be sent:  (i) if to any Beneficiary, at the address (or telefacsimile number) as provided for such communications in the Note Agreement, and (ii) if to any Guarantor, addressed to such Guarantor care of the Company at the Company’s address (or telefacsimile number) for notices as provided in the Note Agreement, or to such other address as such Guarantor shall have specified to each Beneficiary in writing.  Notices under this Section 17 will be deemed given only when actually received.
		

		
			18.FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
		

		
			No failure or delay on the part of any Beneficiary in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence thereto, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing under this Guaranty are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
		

		
			19.INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE OF CERTAIN TERMS.
		

		
			Each Guarantor hereby (a) irrevocably agrees to be bound by Section 21.7 of the Note Agreement as if such Section were applicable to each Guarantor (notwithstanding that such Section 
		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-1-9

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		is drafted to apply only to the Company), and (b) makes the submissions, agreements, consents and waivers set forth in such Section that otherwise would apply only to the Company.

			INDEMNITY AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			This Indemnity and Contribution Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 15, 2017, is entered into among each of the Persons identified on the signature pages hereof as Guarantors, and such other Persons who from time to time become parties hereto in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement (collectively, the “Guarantors” and each, individually, a “Guarantor”) and WD-40 Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).  The Company and the Guarantors are sometimes referred to herein as the “Credit Parties”.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Note Agreement (as defined below).
		

		
			Reference is made to the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same from time to time hereafter may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Note Agreement”), by and between the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchasers named therein, on the other hand.
		

		
			The Guarantors are Subsidiaries of the Company, and the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes will be used, in part, by the Company and the Guarantors in connection with their respective operations.
		

		
			Pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the Credit Parties are jointly and severally liable for all obligations (the “Obligations”) under such documents.  Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has received and expects to receive financial and other support, directly or indirectly, from the other Credit Parties (including, without limitation, in the form of existing liquidity provided to the Credit Parties by the extension of credit from the issuance and sale of Notes); accordingly, each Credit Party has determined that it is in its interest and to its financial benefit to execute and deliver an agreement in the form hereof.
		

		
			Accordingly, the Credit Parties agree as follows:
		

		
			SECTION 1.  INDEMNITY AND CONTRIBUTION.
		

		
			A.Definitions.  The following defined terms are used in this Section 1:
		

		
			“Claiming Credit Party”  shall mean any Credit Party which has made an Excess Payment until the amount thereof has been reduced to zero through reimbursements to such Credit Party hereunder or otherwise.
		

		
			“Excess Payment” shall mean, with respect to any payment made by a Credit Party to any holder of a Note pursuant to the terms of the Note Agreement, the Notes, the Multiparty Guaranty or any other Transaction Document on or after any Payment Date, the amount by which such payment exceeds the aggregate amount of proceeds of the Notes 
		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-2-1

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		received, directly or indirectly, by such Credit Party as of such Payment Date as a result of the credit provided from the issuance and sale of the Notes.  For purposes of this definition of “Excess Payment”, the amount of any payment made by a Credit Party shall include an amount equal to the gross proceeds from any sale of such Credit Party’s assets pursuant to the Transaction Documents to which such Credit Party is a party to satisfy all or any part of the Obligations.
		

		
			“First Round Contributing Credit Party” shall mean each Credit Party as to which a Payment Deficiency exists.
		

		
			“Net Worth” shall mean the difference between the following:  (1) the aggregate value of all assets (including contingent assets) of a Credit Party (at fair valuation and present fair saleable value), less (2) the aggregate amount of all liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of that Credit Party.  Net Worth shall be measured, in the case of each Credit Party, as of the date of this Agreement, subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1C and/or 1D below.  In the event that the Net Worth of any Credit Party is less than zero, the Net Worth of such Credit Party shall be zero for purposes of any computation pursuant to Section 1C and/or 1D below.
		

		
			“Payment Date” shall mean the maturity date (or the date of any required prepayment) of any of the Notes or the date of any notice of acceleration delivered by any holder of the Notes to the Company pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Note Agreement with respect to any of the Notes.
		

		
			“Payment Deficiency” shall mean, with respect to any Credit Party as of any Payment Date, the amount by which the aggregate amount of proceeds of the Notes received by such Credit Party, directly or indirectly, from the issuance and sale of the Notes as of such Payment Date exceeds the payments made by such Credit Party under the Note Agreement, the Notes, the Multiparty Guaranty or any other Transaction Documents as of such Payment Date.
		

		
			“Second Round Contributing Credit Party” shall mean each Credit Party having a positive Net Worth after giving effect to payments made or received by that Credit Party pursuant to Section 1B below.
		

		
			B.First Round Contributions.  Each Credit Party agrees (subject to Section 3 hereof) that in the event a payment shall be made by any other Credit Party under any of the Transaction Documents, or assets of any other Credit Party shall be sold pursuant to any mortgage, security agreement or similar instrument or agreement to satisfy any Obligations at any time on or after a Payment Date, each First Round Contributing Credit Party shall be responsible, by way of contribution, for the reimbursement to the Claiming Credit Parties of an amount equal to the Excess Payment of each Claiming Credit Party; provided that the aggregate amount owed by any First Round Contributing Credit Party shall not exceed the Payment Deficiency of such First Round Contributing Credit Party.  The aggregate amounts so reimbursed by all First Round Contributing Credit Parties shall be allocated, among all Claiming Credit Parties, in proportion to the Excess Payment made 
		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-2-2

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		by each such Claiming Credit Party as compared to the aggregate Excess Payments made by all such Claiming Credit Parties.
		

		
			C.Second Round Contributions.  In the event that an Excess Payment made by a Claiming Credit Party is not completely reimbursed pursuant to Section 1B above, and such Claiming Credit Party has a negative Net Worth after giving effect to such prior reimbursements (but without giving effect to any other reimbursement right under this Section 1), then there shall be a second contribution round for the benefit of that Claiming Credit Party in accordance with this Section 1C.  The Second Round Contributing Credit Parties shall reimburse, to such Claiming Credit Parties, an aggregate amount equal to the total remaining Excess Payments of such Claiming Credit Parties; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount so paid by any Second Round Contributing Credit Party exceed the amount of its Net Worth (before giving effect to the contribution made by such party under this Section 1C).  Subject to the foregoing proviso, the amount so contributed by each Second Round Contributing Credit Party shall be equal to such total remaining Excess Payments multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Net Worth of such Second Round Contributing Credit Party, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Net Worth of all Second Round Contributing Credit Parties.  The aggregate amount of such contributions under this Section 1C shall, in turn, be allocated among such Claiming Credit Parties in proportion to the remaining Excess Payment of each.
		

		
			D.Subsequent Round Contributions.  In the event that an Excess Payment made by a Claiming Credit Party pursuant to Section 1C above is not completely reimbursed pursuant thereto (or pursuant to any subsequent round of contribution payments made under this Section 1D), then there shall be a further contribution round in which each Credit Party which made a contribution in the immediately preceding round and continues to have a positive Net Worth after giving effect thereto shall be responsible, by way of contribution, for its pro rata share of such remaining unreimbursed Excess Payments.  The calculation of such further pro rata contribution obligations as between such contributing Credit Parties, and the allocation of such contributions among such Claiming Credit Parties, shall proceed in each such subsequent round in accordance with the respective proration and allocation provisions generally set forth in Section 1C.  Nothing in this Section 1 shall affect any Credit Party’s joint and several liability for all Obligations.
		

		
			SECTION 2.  No Waiver of Other Rights.  All rights of each Credit Party under Section 1 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any and all other rights of indemnity, contribution, reimbursement or subrogation which such Credit Party may have under applicable law in respect of the Note Agreement, the Notes, the Multiparty Guaranty or any other Guaranty, as applicable, but in all events subject to the subordination provisions in Section 3.  However, any such other rights of indemnity, contribution, reimbursement or subrogation shall be expressly subordinate (in time and right of payment) to the contractual rights of each Credit Party under Section 1.
		

		
			SECTION 3.  Subordination.  Each Credit Party (i) subordinates all present and future indebtedness owing to it from any of the other Credit Parties (including, without limitation, under Section 1 and under any of such Credit Party’s rights of indemnity, contribution, reimbursement or subrogation from the other Credit Parties under applicable 
		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-2-3

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		law to the final payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations, (ii) agrees that it will not accelerate, or make a claim in respect of, such indebtedness or otherwise attempt to enforce any of its rights under Section 1 until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and (iii) agrees that it will not assign or pledge to any Person all or any part of such indebtedness.
		

		
			If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Credit Party shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Party as trustee for the holders of the Notes and shall promptly be paid over (x) to the holders of the Notes for application to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Note Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, without affecting in any manner the liability of the other Credit Parties to such Credit Party hereunder, or (y) as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
		

		
			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, any Credit Party may make payments to any other Credit Party in respect of indebtedness owing by such Credit Party to any such other Credit Party during such times as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
		

		
			SECTION 4.    Waivers.
		

		
			A.Each of the Credit Parties waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any right to require a Claiming Credit Party to:  (i) proceed against any Person, including another Credit Party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any collateral held from another Credit Party or any other Person; (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Claiming Credit Party’s power; or (iv) make any presentments, demands for performance, or give any notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the payments required under this Agreement.
		

		
			B.Each of the Credit Parties waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any defense arising by reason of:  (i) any disability or other defense of, any other Credit Party or any other Person; (ii) the cessation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of any liability of any Credit Party or any other Person; (iii) any act or omission by a Claiming Credit Party which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of a Credit Party from the obligation to make payments required by this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise; and (iv) any modification of the obligations, in any form whatsoever, including any modification made after revocation hereof to any obligations incurred prior to such revocation, and including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of the obligations, or other change in the terms of the obligations or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon.
		

		
			C.Each of the Credit Parties waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by a Claiming Credit Party, even though that election of remedies, might prejudice the Credit Party’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against another Credit Party.
		

		

		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-2-4

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		SECTION 5.  Termination.  This Agreement shall survive and remain in full force and effect so long as any part of the Obligations has not been paid in full in cash, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any part of a payment of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of Notes or any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Credit Party, or otherwise.  A Guarantor shall be automatically released from all obligations under this Agreement upon being released as a Guarantor in accordance with the Note Agreement.
		

		
			SECTION 6.  No Waiver.  No failure on the part of any Credit Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any Credit Party preclude any other or further exercise or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  All remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.  No Credit Party shall be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless the waiver is in writing and signed by the party or parties affected.
		

		
			SECTION 7.  Binding Agreement.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties is referred to, the reference shall include the successors and assigns of the party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the parties that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement shall not be amended or terminated, nor any provision herein waived, and no Credit Party may assign or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement (and any attempted assignment or delegation shall be void), without in each case the prior written consent of the Required Holders and each Credit Party.  Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that the holders from time to time of Notes are intended indirect beneficiaries of the benefits created in favor of each Credit Party by this Agreement.
		

		
			SECTION 8.  Severability.  To the extent that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party shall be required to comply with the provision for so long as the provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained in this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
		

		
			SECTION 9.  Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCLUDING CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.
		

		
			SECTION 10.  Counterparts; Additional Parties.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument.  The counterpart signature pages may be detached and assembled to form a single original document.  This Agreement 
		

		 

		

			Exhibit D-2-5

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		shall be effective with respect to any Credit Party when a counterpart bearing the signature of such Credit Party shall have been executed and delivered to all parties.  From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto as Guarantors in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.7 of the Note Agreement by executing and delivering to each holder of Notes, with a copy to the other parties hereto, a joinder agreement in the form of Exhibit A hereto.  Upon execution and delivery of such a joinder agreement, such Person shall be a Credit Party for purposes of this Agreement.  The addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Credit Party hereunder.
		

		
			SECTION 11.  Incorporation by Reference of Certain Terms.  Each Credit Party hereby (a) irrevocably agrees to be bound by Section 21.7 of the Note Agreement as if such Section were applicable to each Credit Party (notwithstanding that such Section is drafted to apply only to the Company), and (b) makes the submissions, agreements, consents and waivers set forth in such Section that otherwise would apply only to the Company.

		In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Note Agreement, the Series [__] Notes, the Multiparty Guaranty, the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement and the other related documents and instruments referenced in a Certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Company (the “Certificate”) separately delivered by the Company to our firm, and no other documents.  We have examined and relied on certificates of public officials and, as to certain matters of fact that are material to our opinions, the Certificate.

			(v)that, except to the extent set forth in our opinions below with respect to the Company, WD-40 Manufacturing, HPD and Heartland (and subject to all assumptions, qualifications and limitations applicable thereto and herein set forth), the Note Agreement is enforceable against all parties thereto; 
		

		
			(vi)that the Multiparty Guaranty is necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business of each Guarantor.
		

		
			(vii)that each of the parties to the Note Agreement entered into the Note Agreement in good faith and without any intent to hinder, delay or defraud creditors of the Company, WD-40 Manufacturing, HPD and Heartland;  
		

		
			(viii)that the Company shall apply the proceeds of the Notes as provided in the Note Agreement
		

		

		

		 

		

			Schedule E-2

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		(ix)that the Note Agreement will be enforced, and the rights and discretion of the parties thereto will be exercised, in circumstances and in a manner which are commercially reasonable; 
		

		
			(x)that there are no other agreements or understandings among the parties to such examined documents, written or oral;
		

		
			(xi)that there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealings among the parties to such examined documents that would, in any case, define, supplement, alter, or qualify the terms of such documents; and
		

		
			(xii)that the representations and warranties with respect to factual matters made by the Company, WD-40 Manufacturing, HPD, Heartland, PGIM, Inc. and the Purchasers of the Series [__] Notes in the examined documents were true and correct as and when made or deemed made or repeated and remain true and correct as of the date hereof, and the Company has not exercised any right to terminate the Note Agreement.

			6.Each of the (a) execution and delivery by each of the Company, WD-40 Manufacturing, HPD and Heartland of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (and, in the case of the Company, the issuance of the Series [__] Notes), and (b) performance by each of the Company, WD-40 Manufacturing, HPD and Heartland of its obligations under the Transaction Documents do not:  (i) violate or contravene any Applicable Law, in each case as applicable to each of the Company, WD-40 Manufacturing, HPD and Heartland; (ii) to the best of our knowledge, violate or contravene any order, writ, judgment, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority as presently in effect applicable to any of the Company, WD-40 Manufacturing, HPD and Heartland; or (iii) conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute a default under the articles or certificate of incorporation (or similar charter document), or the bylaws (or similar document), of any of the Company, WD-40 Manufacturing, HPD or Heartland.
