may take into account factors that (a) will or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the value of any collateral securing the Obligations, the enforceability or priority of the Liens of Lender or the amount
that Lender would be likely to receive in the liquidation of such collateral, or (b) may demonstrate that any collateral report or financial information concerning Borrower is incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any

liabilities and other obligations owing to Governmental Authorities, (ii) asserted litigation liabilities, (iii) anticipated remediation for compliance with Environmental Laws, (iv) obligations owing to any lessor of real
property, any warehouseman, any processor or any mortgagor on third party mortgaged sites, (v) obligations or liabilities of the Companies under Hedge Agreements, and (vi) cash management obligations.  Reserves

suppliers of agricultural products.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, during the period from August 31, 2016 through February 28, 2017, Lender shall establish Reserves with respect to grower
payables owing by the Companies in an amount no greater than seventy-five percent (75%) of such grower payables.

each calendar month (or the next Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), a Borrowing Base Certificate (for the period ending on the last day of the prior calendar month) prepared and certified by a Financial
Officer; provided that, during the Temporary Reporting Increase Period, Borrower shall deliver such Borrowing Base Certificates by no later than 5:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on each Tuesday of each calendar week (or
the next Business Day if such Tuesday is not a Business Day) dated as of the week ending on the Friday prior to the date such summary is submitted.  Each such Borrowing Base Certificate shall be updated for all

Base Certificate; provided that, during the Temporary Reporting Increase Period, such Borrowing Base Certificates shall also include (i) the current amounts outstanding on grower payables, and (ii) the amount
outstanding under the Convertible Note Indebtedness.  The amount of Eligible Inventory and the determination as to which accounts receivable constitute Eligible Accounts Receivable to be included on each applicable
Borrowing Base Certificate shall, absent a request from Lender that such amounts be calculated more frequently, be the amount that is calculated and updated monthly pursuant to subsections (e) and (f) below

(e)Accounts Receivable Aging Report.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender, within twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar month, an accounts receivable aging report, in form
and substance satisfactory to Lender and signed by a Financial Officer, (i) aged by the original invoice date of accounts receivable of Borrower, prepared as of the last day of the preceding calendar month,
reconciled to the month-end balance sheet and month-end Borrowing Base Certificates, together with the calculation of the current month-end Eligible Accounts Receivable, (ii) upon Lender's request, an aging by
original invoice date of all existing accounts receivable, specifying the names, current value and dates of invoices for each Account Debtor, and (iii) that includes any other information Lender shall reasonably request
with respect to such accounts receivable and its evaluation of such reports; provided that, during the Temporary Reporting Increase Period, Borrower shall deliver such accounts receivable aging summary by no later
than 5:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on each Tuesday of each calendar week (or the next Business Day if such Tuesday is not a Business Day) dated as of the week ending on the Friday prior to the date such summary is
submitted..

Lender and signed by a Financial Officer, based upon month-end balances reconciled to the month-end balance sheet and the month-end Borrowing Base Certificates, and accompanied by an Inventory certification, in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and including a calculation of the Eligible Inventory (the calculation of Eligible Inventory reflecting the then most recent month-end balance).  Borrower shall deliver
to Lender, after the end of each calendar month, Inventory records, in such detail as Lender shall deem reasonably necessary to determine the level of Eligible Inventory.

                                                    3

In addition, during the Temporary

of Borrower.  Borrower shall provide such other reports with respect to the Inventory of Borrower as Lender may reasonably request from time to time.

(g)Accounts Payable Aging Report.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender, within twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar month, in form and detail satisfactory to Lender, an
aging summary of the accounts payable of Borrower, dated as of the last day of the preceding calendar month; provided that, during the Temporary Reporting Increase Period, Borrower shall deliver such
accounts payable aging summary by no later than 5:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on each Tuesday of each calendar week (or the next Business Day if such Tuesday is not a Business Day) dated as of the week
ending on the Friday prior to the date such summary is submitted.
