6.5Except as otherwise specifically provided in Clauses 6.1 through 6.4 hereof and as required by law (including without limitation the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”)), the Executive’s entitlement to receipt of the Benefits will cease on the effective date of termination of this Agreement and the Executive will be entitled to accrue such Benefits only as provided in the plan providing for the relevant Benefit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, if the Executive is entitled to severance payments under Sections 6.1, 6.3 or 6.4 of this Agreement, during such severance period, provided that the Executive elects continuation coverage of health insurance in accordance with COBRA, the Employer shall be required to pay the Executive’s portion of COBRA payments during the applicable severance period.  In the event that COBRA becomes unavailable to the Executive during any part of the severance period, the Employer at its sole cost shall obtain separate and materially similar health insurance coverage for the Executive during the applicable period of severance.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the Employer’s obligation to provide the Benefits, COBRA payments or similar healthcare benefits provided by Section 6 will cease upon the date that the Executive becomes eligible to be covered under another group health insurance plan (other than Medicare), and provided further, if the Employer’s provision of benefits pursuant to this Section 6 would violate the nondiscrimination rules or would result in the imposition of penalties under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, and the related regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (the “ACA”), the Employer shall reform this Section 6 in a manner as is necessary to comply with the ACA.

The Parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either Party, as may be necessary to be exempt from or fully comply with Section 409A in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either Party.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Employer or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof for purposes of this Agreement unless Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A from the Employer or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates.

Any award as a result of such arbitration will be final and binding upon the Parties and the Parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator.  Such a ruling will be non-appealable.
2.3If the Parties are unable to agree on a single arbitrator such dispute will be submitted to binding arbitration in Houston, Texas, pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, under the auspices of, and pursuant to the rules, of the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration Rules as then in effect, or such other procedures as the Parties may agree to at the time, before a tribunal of three (3) arbitrators, one of which will be selected by the Executive, one of which will be selected by the Employer, and the third of which will be selected by the two arbitrators so selected.

the arbitrators) to such proceeding(s) will be entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses from the non-prevailing Party, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
2.5If a dispute arises and one Party fails or refuses to designate an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written notice that an arbitration proceeding is to be held, then the rules of the Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to designate the arbitrator not so designated by a Party.
2.6Either the Employer or the Executive may cause an arbitration proceeding to commence by giving the other Party notice in writing of such arbitration.  The Employer and the Executive covenant and agree to act as expeditiously as practicable to resolve all disputes by arbitration.
2.7The arbitration proceeding will be held in English.
2.8Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Employer nor the Executive will be precluded from seeking interim court action at any time after commencing arbitration and before the arbitrators are selected in the event the relief sought is equitable relief to preserve the status quo.  All such interim remedies shall not bind the arbitrators in connection with any subsequent rulings.  Legal process in any such action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world.

B-2

This Release does not limit Employee’s right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies.

 SANDERSON FARMS, INC. 

CREDIT AGREEMENT 

This Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of April 23, 2021, by and among SANDERSON
FARMS, INC., a Mississippi corporation (the “Company”), the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement, as Banks, and BMO HARRIS
BANK N.A., as Agent as provided herein. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms are defined in Section 4 hereof. 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 

The Company has requested, and the Banks have agreed to extend, certain credit facilities on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1.
THE CREDIT. 
 Section 1.1. The Revolving Credit. (a) Subject to all of
the terms and conditions hereof, the Banks agree, severally and not jointly, to extend a revolving credit to the Company (the “Revolving Credit”) which may be utilized by the Company in the form of loans (individually a
“Revolving Credit Loan” and collectively the “Revolving Credit Loans”) and L/Cs (as hereinafter defined). The aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans (as hereinafter defined), and
Reimbursement Obligations (as hereinafter defined) at any time outstanding plus the maximum amount available to be drawn under all L/Cs outstanding from time to time shall not exceed the sum of the Banks’ Revolving Credit Commitments (as
hereinafter defined) in effect from time to time during the term of this Agreement. The Revolving Credit shall be available to the Company, and may be availed of by the Company from time to time, be repaid and used again, during the period from the
date hereof to and including April 23, 2026 (the “Revolving Credit Termination Date”). 
 (b) Loans under the
Revolving Credit may be Eurodollar Loans or Domestic Rate Loans. All Revolving Credit Loans shall be made from each Bank in proportion to its Commitment Percentage (as hereinafter defined). Each Domestic Rate Loan shall be in an amount not less than
$1,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000, and each Eurodollar Loan shall be in an amount not less than $3,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000. 

(c) The Company may, on one or more occasions, on any Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, elect to either increase
the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments or to obtain term loans (individually a “Term Loan”and collectively the “Term Loans”), in each case by delivering a Commitment Amount Increase Request
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K or in such other form acceptable to 

 
the Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the desired effective date of such increase (the “Commitment Amount Increase”) or the date the Term Loans are to be made,
identifying an additional Bank (or additional Revolving Credit Commitments for existing Bank(s)) and the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment (or additional amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment(s)) or the Banks that are willing to make the
requested Term Loans; provided, however, that (i) any increase of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments to an amount that, together with the aggregate amount of Term Loans, if any, then outstanding would exceed
$1,300,000,000 and the making of Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount that, together with the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect would exceed $1,300,000,000 will require the approval of the Required Banks,
(ii) any increase of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the aggregate amount of requested Term Loans shall be in an amount not less than $25,000,000, (iii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
at the time of the request or on the effective date of the Commitment Amount Increase or the date the Term Loans are to be made, (iv) all representations and warranties contained in Section 5 hereof shall be true and correct to the extent
specified in Section 6.3(a) hereof at the effective date of such Commitment Amount Increase or the date the Term Loans are to be made, (v) the Agent’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall be required for any
increase in the amount of an existing Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment or the addition of a new Bank, (vi) each Bank or other financial institution that elects to make a Term Loan shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement (the
“Term Loan Amendment”) giving effect to the modifications permitted by this Section 1.1(c) executed by the Company and acknowledged by the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Agent, and (vii) on the effective date of a
Commitment Amount Increase and on the date Term Loans are to be made under this Section 1.1(c), as the case may be, the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries shall have delivered to the Agent and the Banks or other financial institutions
providing the Commitment Amount Increase or making the Term Loans resolutions of their respective Boards of Directors authorizing such Commitment Amount Increase or Term Loans, the Term Loan Amendment and the Term Notes (as defined below), together
with such officer’s certificates and legal opinions as the Agent and such Banks may reasonably request. The effective date of the Commitment Amount Increase or the date the Term Loans are to be made shall be agreed upon by the Company and the
Agent. Upon the effectiveness thereof, the new Bank(s) (and/or, if applicable, existing Bank(s)) shall advance Revolving Credit Loans in an amount sufficient such that after giving effect to its advance each Bank shall have outstanding its
Commitment Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans or make the requested Term Loans. It shall be a condition to such effectiveness and the making of Term Loans that (x) if any Eurodollar Loans are outstanding under the Revolving Credit on the date
of such effectiveness of a Commitment Amount Increase, such Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to be prepaid on such date and the Company shall pay any amounts owing to the Banks pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof, and (y) the Company shall not
have terminated any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof. The Company agrees to pay any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of
the Agent relating to any Commitment Amount Increase and the making of any Term Loans under this Section 1.1(c). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Bank shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or
make any Term Loan and no Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Bank may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or make any
Term Loan hereunder. 

  
 -2- 

 Each Term Loan made pursuant to this Section 1.1(c) shall be evidenced by a promissory
note of the Company in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto, appropriately completed (individually a “Term Note” and collectively the “Term Notes”) payable to the order of the Bank that made such Term Loan. The
Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Credit Loans and shall mature no earlier than the Revolving Credit Termination Date. The Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Banks, effect such amendments
to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of this Section 1.1(c) with respect to the Term Loans, including appropriate
amendment to the definitions of the terms “Required Banks,” “Commitment Percentage” and “Loans” to include the Term Loans and the Banks making the same on the same basis as the Revolving Credit Loans. 

Section 1.2. The Revolving Notes. All Revolving Credit Loans made by each Bank under its Revolving Credit
Commitment shall be evidenced by a single Revolving Credit Note of the Company substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (individually, a “Revolving Note” and together, the “Revolving Notes”) payable to the
order of such Bank in the principal amount of such Revolving Credit Commitment, but the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness evidenced by such Revolving Note at any time shall be, and the same is to be determined by, the aggregate principal
amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Bank to the Company pursuant hereto on or prior to the date of determination less the aggregate amount of principal repayments on such Revolving Credit Loans received by or on behalf of such Bank on
or prior to such date of determination. Each Revolving Note shall be dated as of the execution date of this Agreement, shall be delivered concurrently herewith, and shall be expressed to mature on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and to bear
interest as provided in Section 1.4 hereof. Each Bank shall record on its books or records or on a schedule to its Revolving Note the amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made by it hereunder, whether each Revolving Credit Loan is a Domestic
Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan, and, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, the interest rate and Interest Period applicable thereto, and all payments of principal and interest and the principal balance from time to time outstanding, provided that prior to
any transfer or assignment of such Revolving Note all such amounts shall be recorded on the schedule to such Revolving Note. The record thereof, whether shown on such books or records or on the schedule to the Revolving Note, shall be prima
facie evidence as to all such amounts; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to record, or any mistake in recording, any of the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company to repay all Revolving
Credit Loans made hereunder together with accrued interest thereon. 
 Section 1.3. Swing Loans.
(a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Credit, the Swing Line Bank may, in its discretion, make swing line loans in U.S. Dollars to the Company (individually a “Swing
Loan” and collectively the “Swing Loans”) which shall not in the aggregate at any time outstanding exceed the Swing Line Sublimit. Swing Loans may be availed of from time to time and borrowings thereunder may be repaid and
used again during the period ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each Swing Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000. 

  
 -3- 

 All Swing Loans made by the Swing Line Bank shall be evidenced by a Swing Note of the
Company (the “Swing Note”) payable to the order of the Swing Line Bank in the amount of its Swing Line Sublimit, the Swing Note to be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Without regard to the face principal amount of the
Swing Note, the actual principal amount at any time outstanding and owing by the Company on account thereof during the period ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall be the sum of all advances then or theretofore made thereon less all
principal payments actually received thereon during such period. 
 (b) Interest on Swing Loans. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest
until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to (i) the sum of the Domestic Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Domestic Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit as from time to time in effect (computed on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed), or (ii) the Swing Line Bank’s Quoted Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed). Interest on
each Swing Loan bearing interest at the Domestic Rate shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and interest on each Swing Loan bearing interest at the
Swing Line Bank’s Quoted Rate shall be due and payable by the Company on the last day of each Interest Period and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). If any Swing Loan is not paid when due it shall bear interest at a rate per
annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed) determined by adding the Applicable Margin to the Domestic Rate as in effect from time to time plus 1.5%. Interest on all Swing
Loans after maturity shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (c) Requests for Swing Loans. The Company shall give the Agent prior
notice (which may be written or oral) (i) no later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date upon which the Company requests that any Swing Loan bearing interest at the Domestic Rate plus the Applicable Margin be made, or (ii) no later
than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the date upon which the Company requests that any Swing Loan bearing interest at the Swing Line Bank’s Quoted Rate be made, and such notice shall include the amount and date of such Swing Loan, and, if
applicable, the Interest Period requested therefor. The Agent shall promptly advise the Swing Line Bank of any such notice received from the Company. After receiving such notice, the Swing Line Bank shall in its discretion quote an interest rate to
the Company at which the Swing Line Bank would be willing to make such Swing Loan available to the Company for the Interest Period so requested (the rate so quoted for a given Interest Period being herein referred to as “Swing Line
Bank’s Quoted Rate”). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the interest rate quote is given for immediate and irrevocable acceptance. If the Company does not so immediately accept the Swing Line Bank’s Quoted Rate for the full
amount requested by the Company for such Swing Loan, the Swing Line Bank’s Quoted Rate shall be deemed immediately withdrawn and such Swing Loan shall bear interest at the rate per annum determined by adding the Applicable Margin for Domestic
Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit to the Domestic Rate as from time to time in effect. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the proceeds of each Swing Loan extended to the Company shall be deposited or otherwise wire transferred to the
Company’s Designated Disbursement Account or as the Company, the Agent, and the Swing Line Bank may otherwise agree. Anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the undertaking of the Swing Line Bank to make Swing Loans
shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (provided that the Swing Line Bank shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent to an advance of any Swing Loan have been satisfied unless notified to the contrary by
the Agent or the Required Banks). 

  
 -4- 

 (d) Refunding Loans. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Swing Line Bank may at
any time, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Bank to act on its behalf for such purpose) and with notice to the Company and the Agent, request each Bank to make a Revolving Credit Loan in the form of a
Domestic Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(j) or 8.1(k) exists with respect
to the Company, regardless of the existence of any other Event of Default, each Bank shall make the proceeds of its requested Revolving Credit Loan available to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank, in immediately available funds, at the
Agent’s office in Chicago, Illinois (or such other location designated by the Agent), before 3:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Business Day following the date such notice is given. The Agent shall promptly remit the proceeds of such Borrowing to
the Swing Line Bank to repay the outstanding Swing Loans. 
 (e) Participations. If any Bank refuses or otherwise fails to make a
Revolving Credit Loan when requested by the Swing Line Bank pursuant to Section 1.3(d) above (because an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(j) or 8.1(k) exists with respect to the Company or otherwise), such Bank will, by the time
and in the manner such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been funded to the Swing Line Bank, purchase from the Swing Line Bank an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swing Loans in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the
aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Credit Loans. Each Bank that so purchases a participation in a Swing Loan shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Commitment Percentage of each payment
of principal received on the Swing Loan and of interest received thereon accruing from the date such Bank funded to the Swing Line Bank its participation in such Loan. The several obligations of the Banks under this Section shall be absolute,
irrevocable, and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Bank may have or have had against the Company,
any other Bank, or any other Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Potential Default or Event of Default which may then be continuing hereunder or by any reduction or
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Bank, and each payment made by a Bank under this Section shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding, or reduction whatsoever. 

Section 1.4. Interest Rates. (a) Domestic Rate. Each Domestic Rate Loan shall bear interest
(computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration, upon prepayment or otherwise) at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Domestic Rate from time to time in effect, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing on June 30, 2021, and at maturity (whether by
acceleration, upon prepayment or otherwise). 

  
 -5- 

 (b) Eurodollar Rate. Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made or created until the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or, if earlier, until maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, with respect
to any Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period in excess of three (3) months, on every date which is three (3) months after the date such Loan is made or created; provided that if on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to
any Eurodollar Loan the Company does not pay such Loan, such Loan shall automatically become a Domestic Rate Loan as of the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

(c) Default Rate. During the existence of any Event of Default and if so requested by the Agent or the Required Banks, all Revolving
Credit Loans and Reimbursement Obligations outstanding hereunder shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to: 

(i) with respect to any Domestic Rate Loan, the sum of 2% plus the Applicable Margin plus the Domestic Rate from time to time
in effect; and 
 (ii) with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, the sum of 2% plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the
time of such default until the end of the Interest Period then applicable thereto, and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Applicable Margin plus the Domestic Rate from time to time in effect. 

Section 1.5. Manner of Borrowing and Rate Selection. (a) Except as otherwise provided in
Section 1.3(c) hereof and in Section 1.7 hereof, the Company shall give telephonic, telex or telecopy notice to the Agent (which notice, if telephonic, shall be promptly confirmed in writing) no later than (i) 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on
the date the Banks are requested to make each Domestic Rate Loan, or (ii) 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of (x) each Eurodollar Loan which the Banks are requested to make and
(y) the conversion of any Domestic Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan. Each such notice shall specify the date of the Loan requested (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of such Loan or the amount to be converted, as the case may be,
whether the Loan is to be made available by means of a Domestic Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan and, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided, that in no event shall the principal amount of any requested
Revolving Credit Loan plus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans outstanding hereunder exceed the amounts specified in Section 1.1(a) hereof. Upon notice to the Company by the Agent or Required Banks, no
Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be advanced, continued, or created by conversion if any Event of Default or Potential Default then exists. The Company agrees that the Agent may rely on any such telephonic, telex or telecopy notice given by any
person who the Agent reasonably believes is the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, or the Controller of the Company without the necessity of independent investigation and in the event any notice by such means conflicts with the
written confirmation, such notice shall govern if any Bank has acted in good faith reliance thereon. The Agent shall, on the day any such notice is received by it, give prompt 

  
 -6- 

 telephonic, telex or telecopy (if telephonic, to be confirmed in writing within one Business Day) notice of
the receipt of notice from the Company hereunder to each of the Banks, and, if such notice requests the Banks to make or effect by conversion any Eurodollar Loans, the Agent shall confirm to the Company by telephonic, telex or telecopy means, which
confirmation shall be conclusive and binding on the Company in the absence of manifest error, the Interest Period and the interest rate applicable thereto promptly after such rate is determined by the Agent. 

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, the proceeds of each Loan shall be made available to the Company at the principal
office of the Agent in Chicago, Illinois, in immediately available funds, on the date such Loan is requested to be made by crediting the Company’s general operating account maintained with the Agent in Chicago, Illinois. Not later than
3:00 p.m. Chicago time, on the date specified for any Loan to be made hereunder, each Bank shall make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available to the Company in immediately available funds at the principal office of the Agent. 

(c) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Bank prior to the date of a Loan to be made by such Bank (which notice shall be effective
upon receipt) that such Bank does not intend to make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Agent, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such proceeds available to the Agent on such date and the Agent may in reliance upon such assumption
(but shall not be required to) make available to the Company a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Bank, the Agent shall be entitled to receive such amount on demand from such Bank
(or, if such Bank fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand, to recover such amount, together with interest thereon at the rate otherwise applicable thereto under Section 1.4 hereof, from the Company) together with interest thereon in
respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Company and ending on the date the Agent recovers such amount, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. Nothing in this
Section 1.5(c) shall be deemed to permit any Bank to breach its obligations to make Loans under the Revolving Credit or to limit the Company’s claims against any Bank for such breach. 

(d) (i) Unless Agent shall have received notice from Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to Agent for the account of the
Banks or the L/C Issuer hereunder that Company will not make such payment, Agent may assume that Company has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be required to) in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to
the applicable Banks or L/C Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that Agent makes to any Bank or L/C Issuer as to which Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that any of the following applies
(such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (A) Company has not in fact made the corresponding payment to Agent; (B) Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount(s) received by it from Company either
individually or in the aggregate (whether or not then owed); or (C) Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Banks severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so
distributed to such Bank, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a
rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

  
 -7- 

 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time Agent
determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that it has made a payment hereunder in error to any Bank or L/C Issuer, whether or not in respect of any obligation due and owing by Company hereunder at such time, where such payment is a
Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each such Person receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Person in immediately available funds in the currency so
received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Bank and L/C Issuer irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly
paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another), “good consideration”, “change of position” or similar defenses (whether at law or in equity) to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. Agent shall inform each
Bank or L/C Issuer that received a Rescindable Amount promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Person comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. Each Person’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this
Section 1.5(d) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Bank or L/C Issuer, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. 

Section 1.6. Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to all the terms and conditions hereof, satisfaction of all
conditions precedent to borrowing under this Agreement and so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default is in existence, at the Company’s request, the L/C Issuer shall issue, at any time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date,
letters of credit (an “L/C” and collectively the “L/Cs”) for the account of the Company subject to availability under the Revolving Credit, and the Banks hereby agree to participate therein as more fully described
in Section 1.8 hereof. Each L/C shall be issued pursuant to an application for L/C (collectively the “L/C Agreements” and individually an “L/C Agreement”) in a form that is mutually acceptable to the Company
and the L/C Issuer, shall conform to the general requirements of the L/C Issuer for the issuance of L/Cs as to form and substance, shall be in U.S. Dollars and shall be an L/C which the L/C Issuer may lawfully issue. The L/Cs shall consist of
standby and commercial L/Cs in an aggregate face amount not to exceed $30,000,000. Each L/C shall have an expiry date not later than the earlier of one (1) year from the date of issuance thereof or thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving
Credit Termination Date, provided that annually renewable L/Cs may be issued with a final expiry date no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date. The Company agrees that if on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date any L/C remains outstanding the Company shall then deliver to the Agent, without notice or demand, Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount of the aggregate amount of each L/C then outstanding (which shall
be held by the Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 1.6(g) hereof). The amount available to be drawn under each L/C issued and outstanding pursuant hereto shall be deducted from the credit otherwise available under the Revolving Credit

  
 -8- 

 
but shall not reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Banks hereunder. In consideration of the issuance of L/Cs the Company agrees to pay the applicable L/C Issuer for the pro rata benefit
of the Banks a fee (the “L/C Participation Fee”) in the amount of the rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed) equal to the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Eurodollar
Loans of the undrawn amount for each standby L/C issued for the account of the Company hereunder, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December commencing June 30, 2021, and on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date. The Company shall also pay the L/C Issuers a fronting fee in the amount of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of each standby L/C issued hereunder, payable on the
date of issuance of each such standby L/C hereunder and on the date of each extension, if any, of the expiry date of each such standby L/C and the relevant L/C Issuer’s usual and customary fees with respect to each trade L/C issued hereunder,
payable upon negotiation thereof. In addition, the Company shall pay to the relevant L/C Issuer for its own account such L/C Issuer’s standard documentary and processing charges for L/Cs with respect to each L/C. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue, extend or amend any L/C if a default of any Bank’s obligations to fund under Section 1.8 exists or any Bank is at such time a Defaulting Lender
hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements with the Company or such Bank satisfactory to the L/C Issuer to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Bank. 

(b) Upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the initial Loan hereunder, without any further action on the part of the Company, the
Existing L/C Issuer, the Agent or any Bank, (i) each of the L/Cs (the “Existing L/Cs”) previously issued by the Existing L/C Issuer for the account of the Company under the Existing Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes of
this Agreement to be an L/C issued hereunder, (ii) each application and agreement for an LC pursuant to which each Existing L/C was issued shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be an L/C Agreement, and (iii) all of the
Company’s indebtedness, obligations and liabilities to the Existing L/C Issuer with respect to the Existing L/Cs shall be deemed to be Reimbursement Obligations of the Company for all purposes of this Agreement. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in any L/C Agreement to the contrary: (i) the Company shall pay fees in connection with each L/C
as set forth in Section 1.6(a) hereof, (ii) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, unless required by Section 2.4 hereof, the Agent will not call for the funding by the Company of any amount under an L/C
issued for the Company’s account, or for any other form of additional collateral security for the Company’s obligations in connection with such L/C under the L/C Agreements, and (iii) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default or the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless required by Section 1.6(a) or Section 2.4 hereof, the Agent will not call for the funding by the Company of an L/C issued for its account prior to being presented with a
draft drawn thereunder (or, in the event the draft is a time draft, prior to its due date). If an L/C Issuer issues any L/C with an expiration date that is automatically extended unless such L/C Issuer gives notice that the expiration date will not
so extend beyond its then scheduled expiration date, such L/C Issuer will give such notice of non-renewal before the time necessary to prevent such automatic extension if before such required notice date
(A) the expiration date of such L/C if so extended would be after the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (B) the Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated, (C) an Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is
continuing, or (D) the renewal term for such L/C would exceed one year from the renewal date. 

  
 -9- 

 (d) The Agent shall give prompt telecopy notice to each Bank of each issuance of, or
amendment to, an L/C specifying the effective date of the L/C or amendment, the amount, the beneficiary, and the expiration date of the L/C, in each case as established originally or through the relevant amendment, as applicable, the account party
or parties for the L/C, each Bank’s pro rata participation in such L/C and whether the Agent has classified the L/C as a commercial, performance, or financial L/C for regulatory reporting purposes. 

(e) The Banks shall, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, indemnify the L/C Issuers (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Company) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that the
L/C Issuers may suffer or incur in connection with any L/C. The obligations of the Banks under this Section 1.6(e) and all other parts of this Section 1.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement and of all L/C Agreements, and all
drafts or other documents presented in connection with drawings thereunder. 
 (f) The Company’s obligation to reimburse the
Reimbursement Obligations as provided in Section 1.7 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant L/C Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any L/C or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under an L/C proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an L/C Issuer under an L/C against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such L/C, or
(iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the
Company’s obligations hereunder. None of the Agent, the Banks, or the L/C Issuers shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any L/C or any payment or failure to make any
payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any
L/C (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the L/C Issuers; provided that the foregoing shall not be
construed to excuse the L/C Issuers from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by the Company that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a L/C comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an L/C Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance
of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to 

  
 -10- 

 
documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a L/C, the relevant L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment
upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of
such L/C. 
 (g) All amounts available for drawing under any or all outstanding L/Cs required under any of Sections 1.6(a) or 2.4
hereof shall be held by the Agent in one or more separate collateral accounts (each such account, and the credit balances, properties, and any investments from time to time held therein, and any substitutions for such account, any certificate of
deposit or other instrument evidencing any of the foregoing and all proceeds of and earnings on any of the foregoing being collectively called the “Collateral Account”) as security for, and for application by the Agent (to the
extent available) to, the reimbursement of any payment under any L/C then or thereafter made by the L/C Issuer. The Collateral Account shall be held in the name of and subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Agent for the benefit
of the Agent, the Banks, and the L/C Issuer. If and when requested by the Company, the Agent shall invest funds held in the Collateral Account from time to time in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are
unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America with a remaining maturity of one year or less, provided that the Agent is irrevocably authorized to sell investments held in the Collateral Account when and as required to make
payments out of the Collateral Account for application to amounts due and owing from the Company to the L/C Issuer, the Agent or the Banks. Subject to the terms of Sections 1.10 and 1.11, if the Company shall have made payment of all
obligations referred to above required under Section 2.4, at the request of the Company the Agent shall release to the Company amounts held in the Collateral Account so long as at the time of the release and after giving effect thereto no
Potential Default or Event of Default exists. After all L/Cs have expired or been cancelled, at the request of the Company, the Agent shall release any remaining amounts held in the Collateral Account following payment in full in cash of all
Reimbursement Obligations. 
 Section 1.7. Reimbursement Obligation. The Company is obligated, and hereby
unconditionally agrees, to pay in immediately available funds to the Agent for the account of the L/C Issuers and the Banks who are participating in L/Cs pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof the face amount of each draft drawn, presented and paid by
an L/C Issuer under the terms of an L/C issued by such L/C Issuer hereunder (the obligation of the Company under this Section 1.7 with respect to any L/C is a “Reimbursement Obligation”). If at any time the Company fails to pay
any Reimbursement Obligation when due, the Company shall be deemed to have automatically requested a Domestic Rate Loan from the Banks hereunder, as of the maturity date of such Reimbursement Obligation, the proceeds of which Loan shall be used to
repay such Reimbursement Obligation. Such Loan shall only be made if the conditions precedent contained in Section 6.3 hereof are satisfied or, if they are not satisfied, upon approval by all of the Banks, and shall be subject to availability
under the Revolving Credit. If such Loan is not made by the Banks for any reason, the unpaid amount of such Reimbursement Obligation shall be due and payable to the Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Banks upon demand and shall bear interest at
the rate of interest specified in Section 1.4(c)(i) hereof. 

  
 -11- 

 Section 1.8. Participation in L/Cs. Each of the Banks will
acquire a risk participation in each L/C upon the issuance thereof, ratably in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. In the event any Reimbursement Obligation is not immediately paid by the Company pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof, or if any
L/C Issuer is required at any time to return to the Company or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, each Bank will pay to such L/C Issuer funds in an amount equal
to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation. At the election of all of the Banks, such funding by the Banks of the unpaid Reimbursement Obligations shall be treated as additional Revolving Credit Loans to the Company
hereunder rather than a purchase of participations by the Banks in the related L/C held by the applicable L/C Issuer. The obligation of the Banks to the L/C Issuers under this Section 1.8 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected or impaired by any Event of Default or Potential Default which may then be continuing hereunder. The Agent shall notify each Bank by telephone of its Commitment Percentage of such unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. If such notice has been
given to each Bank by 12:00 Noon, Chicago time, each Bank agrees to pay the relevant L/C Issuer in immediately available and freely transferable funds on the same Business Day its Commitment Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation. Funds shall
be so made available at the account designated by the Agent in such notice to the Banks. Upon the election by the Banks to treat such funding as additional Revolving Credit Loans hereunder and payment by each Bank, such Loans shall bear interest in
accordance with Section 1.4(a) hereof. The Agent shall share with each Bank on a pro rata basis relative to its Commitment Percentage a portion of each payment of a Reimbursement Obligation (whether of principal or interest) and any L/C
Participation Fee payable by the Company. Any such amount shall be promptly remitted to the Banks when and as received by the Agent from the Company. 

Section 1.9. Substitution of Lenders. In the event (a) the Company receives a claim from any Bank for
compensation under Section 9.3 or 11.21 hereof, (b) the Company receives notice from any Bank of any illegality pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (c) any Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender or such Bank is a Subsidiary or Affiliate of

 Section 1.10. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting
Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Bank is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Banks. 
 (ii)
Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) or
received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.15 hereto shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to
the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Bank hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure
with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 1.11; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has
failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such
Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future
L/Cs issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 1.11; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by any Bank, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations in respect of
which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related L/Cs were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be
applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such
Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans are held by the 

  
 -13- 

 
Banks pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments without giving effect to Section 1.10(a)(iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or
other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 1.10(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting
Lender, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto. 
 (iii) Certain Fees. 

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting
Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of L/Cs for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 1.11. 

(C) With respect to any L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to
clause (B) above, the Company shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each L/C Issuer and Swing Line Bank, as
applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the
remaining amount of any such fee. 
 (iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part
of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages of the
relevant Revolving Credit Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments) but only to the extent that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 6.3 are satisfied at the time of such
reallocation (and, unless the Company, after receiving written notice, shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and
(B) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Loans and interests in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such
Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Bank
having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such
reallocation. 

  
 -14- 

 (v) Repayment of Swing Loans. If the reallocation described in clause
(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, prepay Swing Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure.

 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Agent, the Swing Line Bank and each L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Bank is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash
Collateral), that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded
participations in L/Cs and Swing Loans to be held pro rata by the Banks in accordance with their respective Committed Percentages of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments (without giving effect to Section 1.10(a)(iv)), whereupon such Bank
will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Bank was a Defaulting Lender; and provided,
further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s
having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) New Swing Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Bank is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the
Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Loan, and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any
L/C unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto. 
 Section 1.11.
Cash Collateral for Fronting Exposure. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Agent or any L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) the Defaulting Lender
shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 1.10(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 1.10(a)(ii)) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. 
 (a) Grant of Security Interest. The Defaulting
Lender hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect
of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the L/C Issuers as herein provided, or that the
total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Defaulting Lender shall, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such
deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(ii)). 

  
 -15- 

 (b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 1.11 or Section 1.10 in respect of L/Cs shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including
any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 

(c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any L/C Issuer’s Fronting
Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 1.11 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable
Bank), or (ii) the determination by the Agent and each L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder in effect from time to time (but without reduction on account of any outstanding Swing Loans), all such fees to be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter (commencing on
June 30, 2021), unless the Revolving Credit is terminated in whole pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof on an earlier date, in which event the commitment fee for the final period shall be paid on the date of such earlier termination in whole,
and all such fees to be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. 

Section 2.2. Agent’s Fee. The Company shall pay to and for the sole account of the Agent fees in an

Agent on or before 12:00 noon on the same Business Day. 
 (b) The Company may prepay any Eurodollar Loan, subject to Section 9.4
hereof, which prepayment may be made in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an amount not less than $3,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000) upon three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent

however, that after giving effect to any such prepayment the outstanding principal amount of any such Eurodollar Loan prepaid in part shall not be less than $3,000,000. Any such prepayment shall be effected by payment of the principal amount to
be prepaid and accrued interest thereon to the prepayment date, plus any amount certified by any Bank to be payable under Section 9.4 hereof with respect to such prepayment. 

(c) Any amount prepaid under the Revolving Credit may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be borrowed, repaid and borrowed

 Section 2.4. Mandatory Prepayments. The Company shall not permit the sum of the
principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans, L/Cs and unpaid Reimbursement Obligations at any time outstanding to exceed the Banks’ Revolving Credit Commitments. The Company will make such payments on any outstanding Loans and,
if necessary, deposit with the Agent Cash Collateral for any then outstanding L/Cs, which are necessary to cure any such excess within two (2) Business Days after receipt of written notice from any Bank of the occurrence thereof without any
further notice or demand from the Agent or any of the Banks, all of which are expressly waived by the Company. Any amount repaid under the Revolving Credit may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be borrowed, repaid and borrowed
again. 
 Section 2.5. Terminations. The Company shall have the right at any time upon five
(5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period to which the Agent may agree) prior written notice to the Agent to terminate the Revolving Credit without penalty in whole or in part (but only in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or such
greater amount which is an integral multiple of $5,000,000); provided, however, that the Company may not terminate any portion of the Revolving Credit which represents outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans, L/Cs or Reimbursement
Obligations. Each termination of the Revolving Credit shall automatically terminate each Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment by its Commitment Percentage of such termination. Any termination of the Revolving Credit pursuant to this Section may
not be reinstated.

the published component used in the calculation thereof), the FRB, the NYFRB, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for
such Benchmark (or such component), or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has
ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will
continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or 
 (c) a public statement or
publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no
longer representative. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark
if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation

bearing interest at a rate per annum determined with reference to the rates quoted to the Agent in the secondary market by three (3) certificate of deposit dealers of recognized standing for the purchase at face value of the Agents’
certificates of deposit in an amount and for an interest period equal to an amount and interest period of the requested Loans, adjusted for reserves and FDIC insurance assessments (the “Adjusted CD Rate”). 

Section 9.2. Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate; Benchmark
Replacement. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Note to the contrary, if prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period; (i) any Bank shall reasonably determine that deposits in the amount of any Eurodollar Loan scheduled to be outstanding are not available in the relevant market, (ii) any Bank shall reasonably determine that by reason
of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, or (iii) the Agent shall have received notice from the Required Banks that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate
determined or to be determined for such 

  
 -58- 

 
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Banks (as conclusively certified by the Banks) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,
then the Agent shall promptly give telephonic or telex notice thereof to the Company and the Banks (such notice to be confirmed in writing), and the obligation of the Banks to make any such Eurodollar Loan in such amount and for such Interest Period
shall terminate until the Company shall thereafter request a Eurodollar Loan and deposits in such amount and for the Interest Period selected by the Company shall again be readily available in the relevant market and adequate and reasonable means
exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. Upon the receipt of such notice, the Company may elect to either (A) pay or prepay, as the case may be, such affected Loan or (B) reborrow such affected Loan as another type of Loan
available hereunder, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event that Eurodollar Loans are unavailable pursuant to this Section, the Banks and the Company shall negotiate in good faith for Loans bearing interest at a rate per
annum based on the Adjusted CD Rate to be made available to the Company. 
 (b) Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date
have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) or (b) of the
definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent
Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (c) of the definition of
“Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (Chicago
time) on the 5th Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Banks without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent
has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Banks comprising the Required Banks. 
 (ii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of
any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan
Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause
(iii) shall not be effective unless the Agent has delivered to the Banks and the Company a Term SOFR Notice. 

  
 -59- 

 (iii) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have
the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become
effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (iv) The Agent will
promptly notify the Company and the Banks of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Term SOFR Event or Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date,
(B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (v) below and
(E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Bank (or group of Banks) pursuant to this Section 9.2(b)(iv), including
any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any
selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required
pursuant to this Section 9.2(b)(iv). 
 (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time
(including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or the LIBOR Index Rate) and either (1) any tenor
for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion, or (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such
Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark
settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor, and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a
screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement),
then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. 

(vi) Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request
for a Loan or L/C of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for
a Loan or L/C of or conversion to Domestic Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Domestic
Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Domestic Rate. 

  
 -60- 

 Section 9.3. Taxes, Increased Costs and Reduced Return.
(a) If any Bank shall determine in good faith that any change in any applicable law, treaty, regulation or guideline (including, without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or any new law, treaty,
regulation or guideline (and for purposes of this Agreement, the Dodd-Frank Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or
similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III (“Basel III”) are deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect after the date hereof), or any
interpretation or application of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof or any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority having jurisdiction over such Bank or its lending branch or
the Loans contemplated by this Agreement (whether or not having the force of law) (“Change in Law”) shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits
in or for the account of, or Loans by, or any other acquisition of funds or disbursements by, such Bank (other than reserves included in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, Loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable
thereto; 
 (iii) change the basis of taxation of payments of principal and interest due from the Company to such Bank
hereunder or under any Note (other than by a change in taxation of the overall net income of such Bank); or 
 (iv) impose on
such Bank any penalty with respect to the foregoing or any other condition regarding this Agreement, its disbursement, any Loan or any Note; 
 and such
Bank shall determine in good faith that the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost (whether by incurring a cost or adding to a cost) to such Bank of making or maintaining any Loan hereunder or to reduce the amount of principal or
interest received by such Bank, then, within thirty-five (35) days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank from time to time as specified by such Bank such additional amounts as such Bank shall
determine are sufficient to compensate and indemnify it for such increased cost or reduced amount. 
 (b) If, after the date hereof, any
Bank or the Agent shall have determined in good faith that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation (and for purposes of this Agreement, the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III are deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect after the
date hereof) regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change therein (including, without limitation, any revision in the Final Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR Part 208, Appendix A;
12 CFR Part 

  
 -61- 

 
225, Appendix A) or of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (12 CFR Part 3, Appendix A), or in any other applicable capital or liquidity rules heretofore adopted and issued by any
governmental authority), or any change in the interpretation, application or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, application or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s capital, or on the capital of any corporation controlling such Bank, or affecting the liquidity requirements of such Bank or such Bank’s controlling corporation, in each case as a consequence of
its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank would have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed
by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within thirty-five (35) days after receipt of demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank
for such reduction. 
 (c) If any Bank makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Company a certificate setting forth such
increased cost or reduced amount as a result of any event mentioned herein specifying such Change in Law and a calculation thereof in reasonable detail and an explanation in reasonable detail of the event giving rise to such claim, all in sufficient
detail to permit the Company to determine whether such certificate meets the standard required by this Section, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Company as to the requested payment becoming due by the Company as provided
in Section 9.3 except in the case of manifest error. The Company, having paid an amount pursuant to the preceding sentence and the other provisions of this Section 9.3, may nevertheless contest by appropriate proceedings whether the Bank
sustained an increased cost or reduced amount contemplated by Section 9.3(a) or a reduction in the rate of return contemplated by Section 9.3(b) and, if so, the amount thereof; and the Bank shall refund any amount found in such a contest
not to have been owed. Upon the imposition of any such cost, the Company may prepay any affected Loan, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.3 and 9.4 hereof. 

Section 9.4. Funding Indemnity. (a) In the event any Bank shall incur any loss, cost, expense or premium
(including, without limitation, any loss of profit and any loss, cost, expense or premium incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or
maintain any Eurodollar Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid such Bank) as a result of: 

(i) any payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a date other than the last day of the then applicable Interest Period; or

 (ii) any failure by the Company to borrow any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in the notice given pursuant to
Section 1.5 hereof; 

  
 -62- 

 then, upon the demand of such Bank, the Company shall pay, within thirty-five (35) days after receipt
of demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), to such Bank such amount as will reimburse such Bank for such loss, cost or expense. 

(b) If any Bank makes a claim for compensation under this Section 9.4, it shall provide to the Company a certificate setting forth the
amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail and an explanation in reasonable detail of the event giving rise to such claim, all in sufficient detail to permit the Company to determine whether such certificate meets the standard
required by this Section, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Company as to the requested payment becoming due by the Company pursuant to Section 9.4 except in the case of manifest error. The Company, having paid an
amount pursuant to the preceding sentence and the other provisions of this Section 9.4, may nevertheless contest by appropriate proceedings whether the Bank sustained a loss, cost, expense or premium contemplated by Section 9.4(a) and, if
so, the amount thereof; and the Bank shall refund any amount found in such a contest not to have been owed. 

Section 9.5. Lending Branch. Each Bank may, at its option, elect to make, fund or maintain its Eurodollar
Loans hereunder at the branch or office specified opposite its signature on the signature page hereof or such other of its branches or offices as such Bank may from time to time elect, subject to the provisions of Section 1.5(b) hereof. To the
extent reasonably possible, a Bank shall designate an alternative branch or funding office with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Company to such Bank under Section 9.3 hereof or to avoid the unavailability of
Eurodollar Loans under Section 9.1 hereof, so long as such designation is not otherwise disadvantageous to the Bank. 

Section 9.6. Discretion of Bank as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, each Bank which is match-funding its Eurodollar Loans shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood however, that for the purposes of this Agreement
all determinations hereunder shall be made as if the Banks which are match-funding their Eurodollar Loans had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits in the
relevant interbank market having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period. 

SECTION 10. THE AGENT. 

Section 10.1. Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Bank and the L/C Issuer hereby appoints BMO
Harris Bank N.A. as the Agent under the Loan Documents and hereby authorizes the Agent to take such action as Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Banks and L/C Issuers expressly agree that the Agent is not acting as a fiduciary of the Banks or the L/C Issuers in respect of the Loan Documents, the Company or otherwise, and nothing
herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall result in any duties or obligations on the Agent or any of the Banks or L/C Issuers except as expressly set forth herein. 

  
 -63- 

 Section 10.2. Agent and its Affiliates. The Agent shall
have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and power as though it were not the Agent, and the Agent and its affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company as if it were not the Agent under the Loan Documents. The term “Bank” as used herein and in all other Loan
Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes the Agent in its individual capacity as a Bank (if applicable). 

Section 10.3. Action by Agent. If the Agent receives from the Company a written notice of an Event of Default
pursuant to Section 7.16 hereof, the Agent shall promptly give each of the Banks and L/C Issuers written notice thereof. The obligations of the Agent under the Loan Documents are only those expressly set forth therein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder with respect to any Potential Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Section 8.2. Unless and until the Required Banks give such
direction, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Banks and L/C Issuers. In no event, however, shall the Agent be required to take any
action in violation of applicable law or of any provision of any Loan Document, and the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it first receives any further
assurances of its indemnification from the Banks that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking
or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Potential Default or Event of Default exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Bank, an L/C Issuer, or the Company. In all cases in which the
Loan Documents do not require the Agent to take specific action, the Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Banks, or of any other group of Banks
called for under the specific provisions of the Loan Documents, shall be binding upon all the Banks and the holders of the Company’s indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents. 

Section 10.4. Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public
accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. 

Section 10.5. Liability of Agent; Credit Decision. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Loan Documents: (a) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Loan or L/C; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Company or any Subsidiary contained herein or in any other Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any

  
 -64- 

 
condition specified in Section 6 hereof, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, perfection,
value, worth or collectibility hereof or of any other Loan Document or of any other documents or writing furnished in connection with any Loan Document; and the Agent makes no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matter
mentioned in this sentence. The Agent may execute any of its duties under any of the Loan Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not
be answerable to the Banks, the L/C Issuers, the Company, or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with
reasonable care. The Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement (whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the proper party or parties. In
particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Agent shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any compliance certificate or other document or instrument received by it under the Loan Documents. The Agent may treat the
payee of any of the Company’s indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with the Agent signed by such payee in form satisfactory to the Agent.
Each Bank and L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Bank or L/C Issuer, and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries as it deems appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to extend credit to the Company in the manner set forth in the Loan Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Bank and L/C Issuer to keep itself informed as to the creditworthiness of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, and the Agent shall have no liability to any Bank or L/C Issuer with respect thereto. 

Section 10.6. Indemnity. The Banks shall ratably, in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentage,
indemnify and hold the Agent, and its directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by it under any Loan Document or in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Company and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified. The obligations of the Banks under this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Agent shall be entitled to offset amounts received for the account of a Bank
under this Agreement against unpaid amounts due from such Bank to the Agent hereunder (whether as fundings of participations, indemnities or otherwise), but shall not be entitled to offset against amounts owed to the Agent by any Bank arising
outside of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 10.7. Resignation of Agent and Successor
Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks, the L/C Issuer, and the Company. Upon any such resignation of the Agent, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no
successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which may be any Bank hereunder or any commercial bank, or an Affiliate of a commercial bank, having an office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 and
be approved by the Company (which approval 

  
 -65- 

 
shall not be unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and
duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations thereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 and
all protective provisions of the other Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent, but no successor Agent shall in any event be liable or responsible for any actions of its
predecessor. If the Agent resigns and no successor is appointed, the rights and obligations of such Agent shall be automatically assumed by the Required Banks and the Company shall be directed to make all payments due each Bank and L/C Issuer
hereunder directly to such Bank or L/C Issuer. 
 Section 10.8. L/C Issuer and Swing Line Bank. Each
L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Banks with respect to any L/Cs issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Swing Line Bank shall act on behalf of the Banks with respect to the Swing Loans made hereunder. The
L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Bank shall each have all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to the Agent in this Section 10 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by any L/C Issuer in connection with L/Cs
issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the Agreements pertaining to such L/Cs or by the Swing Line Bank in connection with Swing Loans made or to be made hereunder as fully as if the term “Agent”, as used in this Section 10,
included the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (b) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such L/C Issuer or Swing Line Bank, as applicable. 

Section 10.9. Designation of Additional Agents. The Agent shall have the continuing right, for purposes
hereof, at any time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Banks (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “book runners,” “lead arrangers,”
“arrangers,” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and such Banks and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof. 

Section 10.10. Authorization of Agent to File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any Guarantor Subsidiary, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C
Obligations and all other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Banks, the L/C Issuer and the
Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks, the L/C Issuer and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks, the L/C Issuer and the Agent
under the Loan Documents including, but not limited to, Section 11.9) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

  
 -66- 

 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar
official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank and L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks and the L/C Issuer, to
pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Section 11.9. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank or L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations or the rights of any Bank or L/C Issuer under the Loan
Documents or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank or L/C Issuer in any such proceeding. 

Section 10.11. Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the date
such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of the Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the
avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any Guarantor Subsidiary, that at least one of the following is and will be true: 

(i) such Bank is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or
more Benefit Plans with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the L/Cs, the Revolving Credit Commitments or this Agreement, 

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a

PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions
involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with
respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the L/Cs, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement, 

(iii) (A) such Bank is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of
Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Bank to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the L/Cs, the
Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the L/Cs, the Revolving Credit 

  
 -67- 

 
Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE
84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Bank, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Bank’s
entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the L/Cs, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement, or 

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Agent, in its sole discretion,
and such Bank. 
 (b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately
preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Bank or (2) a Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding
clause (a), such Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party
hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of, the Company or any Guarantor Subsidiary, that the Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Bank involved in such Bank’s
entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the L/Cs, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agent under this Agreement,
any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). 
 SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS. 

Section 11.1. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be
amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Company, (b) the Required Banks, and (c) if the rights or duties of the Agent, the relevant L/C Issuer, or the Swing Line Bank are
affected thereby, the Agent, such L/C Issuer, or the Swing Line Bank, as applicable; provided that: 
 (i) no
amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall (A) increase any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Bank without the consent of such Bank, or (B) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any
principal of or interest on any Loan or of any Reimbursement Obligation or of any fee payable hereunder without the consent of the Bank to which such payment is owing or which has committed to make such Loan or L/C (or participate therein)
hereunder; and 
 (ii) no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall, unless signed by each Bank, extend
the Revolving Credit Termination Date, change the definition of Required Banks, change the provisions of this Section 11.1, release any material guarantor, or affect the number of Banks required to take any action hereunder or under any other
Loan Document. 

  
 -68- 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank may be effected with the consent of the applicable Banks other than Defaulting
Lenders, whose interest shall be excluded in calculating the Required Banks), except that (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Bank, and (y) any waiver,
amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 

Section 11.2. Waiver of Rights. No delay or failure on the part of the Agent or any Bank or on the part of
the holder or holders of any Note in the exercise of any power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any Potential Default or Event of Default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude
any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other power or right, and the rights and remedies hereunder of the Agent, the Banks and of the holder or holders of any Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or
remedies which any of them would otherwise have. 
 Section 11.3. Several Obligations. The commitments of
each of the Banks hereunder shall be the several obligations of each Bank and the failure on the part of any one or more of the Banks to perform hereunder shall not affect the obligation of the other Banks hereunder, provided that nothing herein
contained shall relieve any Bank from any liability for its failure to so perform. In the event that any one or more of the Banks shall fail to perform its commitment hereunder, all payments thereafter received by the Agent on the principal of Loans
or Reimbursement Obligations hereunder shall be distributed by the Agent to the Banks making such additional Loans or Reimbursement Obligations ratably as among them in accordance with the principal amount of additional Loans or Reimbursement
Obligations made by them until such additional Loans or Reimbursement Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied, and all payments on account of interest shall be applied as among all the Banks ratably in accordance with the amount of
interest owing to each of the Banks as of the date of the receipt of such interest payment. 
 Section 11.4. Non-Business Day. (a) If any payment of principal or interest on any Domestic Rate Loan shall fall due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest at the rate such Loan bears for the period prior to
maturity shall continue to accrue on such principal from the stated due date thereof to and including the next succeeding Business Day on which the same is payable. 

(b) If any payment of principal or interest on any Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan at the Swing Line Bank’s Quoted Rate shall fall due on a
day which is not a Business Day, the payment date thereof shall be extended to the next date which is a Business Day and the Interest Period for such Loan shall be accordingly extended, unless as a result thereof any payment date would fall in the
next calendar month, in which case such payment date shall be the next preceding Business Day. 
 Section 11.5.
Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Banks and L/C Issuers of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Banks and L/C Issuers with respect to the Loans and L/Cs,
including, but not limited to, Sections 9.3, 9.4, and 11.9 hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment of the Notes. 

  
 -69- 

 Section 11.6. Documentary Taxes. Although the Company is of
the opinion that no documentary or similar taxes are payable in respect to this Agreement or the Notes, the Company agrees that it will pay such taxes, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed irrespective of when
such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder. 
 Section 11.7.
Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in certificates given pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and of the Notes, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to
the date as of which they were made and as reaffirmed on the date of each Loan or L/C (as and to the extent provided in Section 6.2 hereof) and as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder. 

Section 11.8. Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all communications provided for herein
shall be in writing or by telex and shall be deemed to have been given or made when served personally, when an answer back is received in the case of notice by telex or 2 days after the date when deposited in the United States mail (registered, if

L/C Issuers, at the address for such Bank or L/C Issuer set forth on its Administrative Questionnaire; or at such other address as shall be designated by any party hereto in a written notice to each other party pursuant to this Section 11.8.

 Section 11.9. Costs and Expenses; Environmental Indemnity; Indemnity. (a) The Company agrees to pay
on demand all customary and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Notes and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (unless otherwise expressly limited herein), including the reasonable fees and expenses of Chapman and
Cutler LLP, special counsel to the Agent; all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent and the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Bank and L/C Issuer (including in each case reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any consents or waivers hereunder or
amendments hereto in each case requested by the Company, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and
expenses), if any, incurred by the Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Banks or any other holders of a Note in connection with the enforcement against the Company or any Guarantor Subsidiary of this Agreement or the Notes and the other instruments and
documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, in connection with any work-out or restructuring. 

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company unconditionally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, the Agent,
each L/C Issuer and each Bank, and covenants not to sue for any claim for contribution against, the Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Bank for any damages, costs, loss or expense, including without limitation, response, remedial or

  
 -70- 

 
removal costs, arising out of any of the following: (i) any presence, release, threatened release or disposal of any hazardous or toxic substance or petroleum by the Company or any
Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to their respective Property, (ii) the operation or violation of any Environmental Law, whether federal, state, or local, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, by the Company or any
Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to their respective Property, (iii) any claim for personal injury or property damage in connection with the Company or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to their
respective Property, and (iv) the inaccuracy or breach of any environmental representation, warranty or covenant by the Company made herein or in any loan agreement, promissory note, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or any other
instrument or document evidencing or securing any indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of the Company owing to the Agent, L/C Issuer or any Bank or setting forth terms and conditions applicable thereto or otherwise relating thereto; provided,
however, the foregoing provisions shall not apply to damages arising from the Agent’s, such L/C Issuer’s or such Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment. This indemnification shall survive the payment and satisfaction of all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company owing to the Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Banks and the termination of this Agreement, and
shall remain in force beyond the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations and payment or satisfaction in full of any single claim under this indemnification. This indemnification shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the
Company and shall inure to the benefit of Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Banks and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and collateral trustees, and their successors and assigns. 

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company unconditionally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, the Agent, each L/C Issuer and
each Bank, and covenants not to sue for any claim for contribution against, the Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Bank for all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses relating to or arising out of the Loan
Documents, the transactions contemplated thereby or the Company’s use of the Loan proceeds, including, without limitation, reasonable out of pocket attorney’s fees and settlement costs, provided, however, the foregoing provisions
shall not apply to any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses arising from the Agent’s, such L/C Issuer’s or such Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, violation of any law, rule or regulation applicable to the
Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Bank as a lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment), and any of the matters covered by Sections 9.3, 9.4 or 11.21. 

(d) The provisions of this Section 11.9 shall survive payment of the Notes and Reimbursement Obligations and the termination of the L/C
Issuers’ and Banks’ Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder. 
 Section 11.10. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. One or more of the Banks may execute a separate counterpart of this Agreement which has also
been executed by the Company, and this Agreement shall become effective as and when all of the Banks have executed this Agreement or a counterpart thereof and lodged the same with the Agent. 

  
 -71- 

 Section 11.11. Successors and Assigns; Governing Law; Entire
Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon each of the Company and the Banks and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and each of the Banks and the benefit of their respective successors and
assigns, including any subsequent holder of any Note. This Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto shall be construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to Illinois conflict of laws
principles. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby. The Company may not assign any of
its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of all of the Banks. The Banks may assign their rights under the Loan Documents only in accordance with Sections 11.16 and 11.17 hereof. 

Section 11.12. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a partnership
or joint venture among the parties hereto. 
 Section 11.13. Severability. In the event that any term or
provision hereof is determined to be unenforceable or illegal, it shall be deemed severed herefrom to the extent of the illegality and/or unenforceability and all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect. 

Section 11.14. Table of Contents and Headings. The table of contents and section headings in this Agreement
are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of any provision hereof. 
 Section 11.15. Sharing
of Payments. Each Bank agrees with each other Bank that if such Bank shall receive and retain any payment, whether by set-off or application of deposit balances or otherwise (“Set-Off”), on any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation or other amount outstanding under this Agreement in excess of its ratable share of payments on all Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other amounts
then outstanding to the Banks, then such Bank shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Banks such amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations held by each such other Bank (or interest therein)
as shall be necessary to cause such Bank to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Banks; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Bank, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from
such purchasing Bank, the related purchases from the other Banks shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. Each Bank’s ratable share of any such Set-Off shall be determined by the proportion that the aggregate principal amount of Loans and Reimbursement Obligations then due and payable to such Bank bears to the total aggregate principal amount of Loans and
Reimbursement Obligations then due and payable to all the Banks. 
 Section 11.16. Participants. Each Bank
shall have the right at its own cost to grant participations (to be evidenced by one or more agreements or certificates of participation) in the Loans made and Reimbursement Obligations and/or Revolving Credit Commitments held by such Bank at any
time and from time to time to one or more other Persons (each a “Participant”); provided that no such participation shall relieve any Bank of any of its obligations under this Agreement, and, provided, further that no such
participant shall have any 

  
 -72- 

 
rights under this Agreement except as provided in this Section, and the Agent shall have no obligation or responsibility to such participant. Any agreement pursuant to which such participation is
granted shall provide (a) that the granting Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, the right to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, except that such agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of the Loan Documents that would reduce the amount of or postpone
any fixed date for payment of any indebtedness, obligation or liability in which such participant has an interest, and (b) that the participant agrees to be bound by Section 11.18 of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a Bank.
Any party to which such a participation has been granted shall have the benefits of Section 9.3 and Section 9.4 hereof. The Company authorizes each Bank to disclose to any participant or prospective participant under this Section, if such
person has agreed in writing to be bound by Section 11.18 below to the same extent as if it were a Bank, any financial or other information pertaining to the Company or any Subsidiary. Each Bank that sells a participation shall acting solely
for this purpose as an agent of the Company maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under
the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information
relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan,
letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent
(in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 Section 11.17.
Assignments. (a) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the
Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (i) Minimum
Amounts. (A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans and participation interest in Reimbursement Obligations at the time owing to it or in the case
of an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment
(which for this purpose includes Loans and participation interest in L/C Obligations outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans and participation
interest in L/C Obligations of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Effective Date” is specified in
the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Effective Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); 

  
 -73- 

 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of
a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned. 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 11.17(a)(i)(B)
and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be
required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund; provided that the Company shall be deemed
to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; 

(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in
respect of the Revolving Credit if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Bank with a Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to such Bank; 

(C) the consent of the relevant L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more applicable L/Cs (whether or not then outstanding); and 

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Swing Loans (whether or not then outstanding). 

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the assignor (except in the case of an assignment by a Bank to an Approved Fund), and the assignee, if it is not a Bank, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 (v) No Assignment to Company or Affiliate. No such assignment shall be made to the Company or any of its Affiliates or
Subsidiaries. 
 (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person. 

  
 -74- 

 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to Section 11.17(b) hereof, from and
after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank
under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering
all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 11.5 and 11.9 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.16 hereof. 
 (b) Register. The Agent,
acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices in Chicago, Illinois, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Banks, and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the
Company, the Agent, and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Company and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (c) Any
Bank may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank or the central bank of the country in
which such Bank is organized, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such Bank as a party hereto; provided further, however, the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank or central bank) to further transfer all or any portion of
the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time the Swing Line Bank assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitments and
Loans pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Swing Line Bank may terminate the Swing Line. In the event of such termination of the Swing Line, the Company shall be entitled to appoint another Bank to act as the successor Swing Line Bank
hereunder (with such Bank’s consent); provided, however, that the failure of the Company to appoint a successor shall not affect the resignation of the Swing Line Bank. If the Swing Line Bank terminates the Swing Line, it shall retain
all of the rights of the Swing Line Bank provided hereunder with respect to Swing Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such termination, including the right to require Banks to make Loans or fund participations in outstanding
Swing Loans pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof. 

  
 -75- 

 Section 11.18. Confidentiality. Each Bank will keep
confidential any non-public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished by the Company (which is designated by the Company as confidential at the time such information is furnished to the
Bank or is actually known by such Bank to be confidential) or obtained by such Bank through its inspections and audits pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof or any Security Document and known by such Bank to be confidential, except that any Bank may
disclose such information (a) to regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, (b) pursuant to subpoena or other legal process including in connection with any pledge or assignment permitted under Section 11.17(c), (c) to such
Bank’s counsel and auditors in connection with matters concerning this Agreement, (d) to such Bank’s consultants in connection with negotiations concerning this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (e) with the Company’s
consent, and (f) to prospective participants or assignees in the Loans and participants and assignees in the Loans, provided that any Persons described in clauses (d) and (f) shall first agree in writing to be bound to comply with the
terms of this Section to the same extent as if it were a Bank. In the situations described above (except where the Company is a party), each Bank shall notify the Company as promptly as practicable of the receipt of a request for such disclosure and
furnish it with a copy of such subpoena or other legal process (to the extent such Bank is legally permitted to do so and except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any government bank regulatory authority), and
permit the Company the opportunity to seek to oppose or limit any such subpoena or legal process, at its expense, or to consent to the disclosure requested by such subpoena or legal process. The provisions of this Section shall survive for a period
of two (2) years following the payment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

Section 11.19. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE COMPANY, THE
AGENT AND EACH BANK HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATIVE
TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. 

Section 11.20. USA Patriot Act. Each Bank that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title
III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and
record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Company in accordance with the Act. 

Section 11.21. Taxes. (a) Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term
“Bank” includes any L/C Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company or any Guarantor Subsidiary under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as
determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction
or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an 

  
 -76- 

 
Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Company or Guarantor Subsidiary shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such
deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries shall timely pay to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes. 

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries shall jointly and severally indemnify each
Recipient, within ten (10) days after receipt of demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such
Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. 
 (e)
Indemnification by the Banks. Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the Company or any
Guarantor Subsidiary has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply
with the provisions of Section 11.16 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document,
and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to any Bank by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to
the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection (e). 
 (f) Evidence of Payments. As
soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company or any Guarantor Subsidiary to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Person shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 

  
 -77- 

 (g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will enable the Company or the Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 11.21(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be
required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment the reasons for which are communicated to the Company and the Agent, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(A) any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Bank
becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to
the Company and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by them) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company
or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an
income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E
(or any substitute form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty, and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan
Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any substitute form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business
profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any substitute form); 

  
 -78- 

 (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code (or comparable successor provisions), (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a
“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code (or comparable successor provisions), a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (or comparable
successor provisions), or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (or comparable successor provisions) (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of
IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any substitute form); or 

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form
W-8IMY (or any substitute form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI (or any substitute form), IRS
Form W-8BEN-E (or any substitute form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or
Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9 (or any substitute form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign
Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (C) any Foreign
Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by them) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and
from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly
completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code (or comparable successor provision), as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the
Company and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
Code (or comparable successor provision)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA
after the date of this Agreement. 

  
 -79- 

 Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or
becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so and the reasons therefor. 

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Agreement (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made under this Agreement with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all otherwise unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of such indemnified party incurred in connection with such refund and without interest except in the event of unreasonable delay (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The
ability to reduce the payment of refunds to an indemnifying party by otherwise unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred in connection with such
refund shall apply for the purposes of this Agreement in each case the recipient has received a refund of an indemnified amount from a taxing authority whether under this Section 11.21, Section 9.3, or Section 9.4, or otherwise under
this Agreement. Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (h), in no event will the indemnified party
be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection
shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

(j) Certificate; Contest; Refund. If any recipient makes a claim for payment from the Company or any Guarantor Subsidiary pursuant to
Section 11.21(b), (c) or (d), it shall provide to the Company a certificate setting forth such claim, a calculation thereof in reasonable detail and an explanation in reasonable detail of the factual and legal basis giving rise to the Tax for
which payment is sought, and a calculation thereof, all in sufficient detail to permit the Company to determine the validity of the claim and the accuracy of the amount, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Company as to the
requested payment becoming due by the Company pursuant to Section 11.21(b), (c) or (d), as applicable, except in the case of manifest error. The Company, having paid an amount pursuant to the preceding sentence and the other provisions of
Section 11.21, may nevertheless contest by appropriate proceedings whether the 

  
 -80- 

 
Tax that is the basis of the Recipient’s claim was incurred by the Recipient and, if so, the amount thereof; and the Recipient shall refund any amount found in such a contest not to have
been owed. If any Taxes are required to be withheld on payments under this Agreement or indemnified pursuant to this Section 11.21, the Company or the Guarantor Subsidiaries shall, if required by Section 11.21, pay such amounts to the
relevant taxing authority on or before the date such payments are due, or if such amounts have already been paid by the Recipient to the Recipient pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 11.21. If the Company or a Guarantor Subsidiary
believes that it is more likely than not that an amount of such Taxes for which payment has been made or reimbursed by it may be recovered by a request for refund or filing an amended return and the amount of such Taxes is in excess of $100,000
(including comparable Taxes related to the same issue that are expected to be imposed on all Recipients due to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), the Recipient shall at the Company’s expense reasonably cooperate in filing a
request for refund or an amended return and reasonably respond to requests for information by the Company, Guarantor Subsidiary or Governmental Authority. If the relevant taxing authority does not agree to the request for refund, the Recipient shall
reasonably cooperate with the Company in contesting the denial for the request for refund. The Recipient shall not be obligated to pursue the matter further than one level of appeal. Under no circumstances will the Recipient be obligated to provide
the Recipient’s tax returns or other confidential information relating to Taxes to the Company or Guarantor Subsidiaries. The Recipient shall have no obligation to contest a denial if the Recipient reasonably determines that the cost of the
contest will be in excess of the amount in controversy. 
 Section 11.22. Waiver of Company’s Rights.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the provisions of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987, including, without limitation, 12 U.S.C. §§ 2199 through 2202e, and the implementing Farm Credit Administration regulations, 12
C.F.R. § 617.7000, et seq. (collectively, the “Farm Credit Law”) apply to the Company or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, they hereby irrevocably waive all statutory or regulatory rights of a borrower to
disclosure of effective interest rates, differential interest rates, review of credit decisions, distressed loan restructuring, and rights of first refusal under the Farm Credit Law (“Borrower Rights”). The Company acknowledges and
agrees that the waiver of Borrower Rights provided by this Section is knowingly and voluntarily made after the Company has consulted with legal counsel of its choice and has been represented by counsel of its choice in connection with the
negotiation of this Agreement and the waiver of Borrower Rights set forth in this Section. The Company acknowledges that its waiver of Borrower Rights set forth in this Section is based on its recognition that such waiver is material to induce
commercial banks and other non-Farm Credit System institutions to participate in the extensions of credit contemplated by this Agreement and to provide extensions of credit to the Company. Nothing contained in
this Section, nor the delivery to Company of any summary of any rights under, or any notice pursuant to, the Farm Credit Law shall be deemed to be, or be constructed to indicate the determination or agreement by the Company, the Agent, or any Bank
that the Farm Credit Law, or any rights thereunder, are or will be applicable to the Company or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. It is the intent of the Company that the waiver of Borrower Rights contained in this Section complies
with and meets all of the requirements of 12 C.F.R. § 617.7010(c). 

  
 -81- 

 Section 11.23. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto
(including any party becoming a party hereto by virtue of an Assignment and Acceptance) acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject
to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities
arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the
effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i)
a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 
 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such
liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of
ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of
the applicable Resolution Authority. 
 Section 11.24. Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the
extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported
QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan
Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): 

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under
a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such
Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to 

  
 -82- 

 
the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in
property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights
under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under
the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies
of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 

Section 11.25. Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any
other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in
the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for,
herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control, (b) neither the Company nor any guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess
Interest that the Agent or any Bank may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations hereunder and accrued and
unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law), (ii) refunded to the Company, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be,
reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither the Company nor any guarantor or endorser shall have any action against the Agent or any Bank for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment
or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other obligations of the Company hereunder is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the
applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other obligations of the Company shall remain at the Maximum Rate
until the Banks have received the amount of interest which such Banks would have received during such period on the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other obligations of the Company had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate
during such period. 
 Section 11.26. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all
aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Company acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’
understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between any the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Agent, any L/C Issuer 

  
 -83- 

 
or any Bank is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Agent, any L/C Issuer, or any Bank
has advised or is advising the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on other matters, (ii) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent, the L/C Issuers, and the Banks are
arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company and Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent, the L/C Issuers, and the Banks, on the other hand, (iii) the Company has consulted its own
legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) the Company is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and
by the other Loan Documents; and (b) (i) the Agent, the L/C Issuers, and the Banks each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be
acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Company or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Agent, the L/C Issuers, and the Banks has any obligation to the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agent, the L/C Issuers, and the Banks and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or
the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and its Affiliates, and none of the Agent, the L/C Issuers, and the Banks has any obligation to disclose any of such interests
to the Company or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agent, the L/C Issuers, and the Banks with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or
fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 
 Section 11.27.
Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division (whether under Delaware law or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or
liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence,
such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE 

_______________, 2021

referred to below) at the principal office of BMO Harris Bank N.A. in Chicago, Illinois, the principal sum of ____________________________________________ or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by the

from time to time outstanding; provided that prior to the transfer of this Note all such amounts shall be recorded on the schedule attached to this Note. The record thereof, whether shown on such books or records or on the schedule to this Note,
shall be prima facie evidence as to all such amounts; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to record, or any mistake in recording, any of the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company to
repay all Revolving Credit Loans made under the Revolving Credit, together with accrued interest thereon. 
 This Note is one of the
Revolving Notes referred to in and issued under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of April 23, 2021, among the Company, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as Agent, and the banks named therein, as amended from time to time (the “Credit

Revolving Credit Loans evidenced hereby) may be declared due prior to the expressed maturity thereof, all in the events, on the terms and in the manner as provided for in said Credit Agreement. 

 The Company hereby waives presentment for payment and demand.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT 

BMO Harris Bank N.A. 
 Chicago, Illinois 

The Banks and L/C Issuers from time to time parties to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Reference is made to that
certain Credit Agreement dated as of April 23, 2021 (such Credit Agreement, as the same may be modified or amended from time to time, being hereinafter referred to as the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Sanderson Farms, Inc.,
a Mississippi corporation (the “Company”), and BMO Harris Bank N.A., individually and in its capacity as agent thereunder (“BMO Harris”), and the lenders and letter of credit issuers from time to time parties
thereto (all of said lenders being referred to collectively as the “Banks” and individually as a “Bank”, and such letter of credit issuers being referred to collectively as “L/C Issuers” and
individually as an “L/C Issuer”; and said BMO Harris as agent for the Banks and L/C Issuers under the Credit Agreement being hereinafter referred to in such capacity as the “Agent”; the Banks, the L/C Issuers and
the Agent being referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Creditors” and individually as a “Guaranteed Creditor”), pursuant to which said Banks agree to make available to the Company a Revolving Credit, with all
Loans thereunder to be evidenced by the Revolving Notes of the Company and pursuant to which the Swing Line Bank agrees to make available to the Company a Swing Line with all Loans thereunder to be evidenced by the Swing Note of the Company and
which provides that certain banks and other financial institutions may make term loans to the Company thereunder with all Term Loans made thereunder to be evidenced by the Term Notes of the Company (all such Revolving Notes, Term Notes and the Swing
Note being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Notes” and individually as a “Note”). In addition the Company may request the L/C Issuers to issue letters of credit for the Company’s account and the
other Banks will acquire risk participations in such letters of credit and all obligations of the Company with request thereto (the “Reimbursement Obligations”). All of the Company’s indebtedness, obligations and liabilities to
the Guaranteed Creditors under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities evidenced by the Notes and the Reimbursement Obligations, and all extensions or
renewals of any of the foregoing, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Indebtedness”; provided that in no event shall the Indebtedness include any Excluded Swap Obligations. All defined terms used herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement unless expressly defined herein. 

 The undersigned are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. As an inducement to each of
you to accept and enter into said Credit Agreement, and in consideration of credit extended and to be extended by the Guaranteed Creditors to the Company under said Credit Agreement, the undersigned (hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“Guarantors”), acknowledging that the Guaranteed Creditors have informed the Company that said credit would not be extended but for this guaranty, hereby jointly and severally guarantee the full and prompt payment to each Guaranteed
Creditor at maturity (whether by acceleration, lapse of time or otherwise) and at all times thereafter of principal of and interest on all Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement, and all extensions or renewals of all or any part
thereof and all other indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Company to the Guaranteed Creditors under the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty Agreement to the contrary, the right of recovery against each Guarantor
under this Guaranty Agreement shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty Agreement void or voidable under applicable law, including fraudulent conveyance law. 

The undersigned further jointly and severally acknowledge and agree with the Guaranteed Creditors that this Guaranty Agreement and the
undertaking of the Guarantors in connection therewith shall be on and subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 1.
This guaranty of payment by the Guarantors shall be a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until all Indebtedness of the Company to the Guaranteed Creditors shall be fully paid and satisfied and
all commitments of the Guaranteed Creditors under the Credit Agreement to extend credit to or for the account of the Company shall have terminated. The dissolution, liquidation or insolvency (howsoever evidenced) of, or the institution of bankruptcy
or receivership proceedings against any one or more of the Guarantors or the Company shall not terminate this Guaranty Agreement. 

2. The obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors, or any of them, hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by any
irregularity, invalidity or unenforceability of or in any of the Notes or of any agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or creating or providing for the same. 

3. The obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors, or any of them, hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (and the
Guaranteed Creditors are hereby expressly authorized to make from time to time without notice to the Guarantors) any sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, release, renewal, extension, indulgence, amendment, alteration, substitution,
exchange, change in, modification or other disposition of any of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement), any other guaranty thereof, or of any security or collateral therefor. 

  
 -2- 

 4. The obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors or any of them
hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by any acceptance by the Guaranteed Creditors, or any of them, of any security or collateral for, or other guarantors upon any of the Indebtedness or by any failure, neglect, omission, delay or partial
action on the part of the Guaranteed Creditors, or any of them, in the administration of the Indebtedness or to realize upon or protect any of the Indebtedness or any security or collateral therefor, or to exercise any lien upon or right of
appropriation of any moneys, credits or property of the Company possessed by any of the Guaranteed Creditors toward the liquidation of the Indebtedness or by any application of payments or credits thereon or by any other circumstances whatsoever
(with or without notice to or the knowledge of the Guarantors, or any of them) which may in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantors, or any of them, hereunder or may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety
or guarantor; it being the purpose and intent that this guaranty of payment and the obligations and liability of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except by
payment and performance as herein provided. 
 5. In order to hold the Guarantors, or any of them, liable hereunder, there
shall be no obligation on the part of any Guaranteed Creditor, at any time, to resort for payment to any Person directly liable in respect of the Indebtedness or to any other guaranty, or to any other Person, their properties or estates, or to
resort to any collateral, security, property, liens or other rights or remedies whatsoever, and the Guaranteed Creditors shall have the right to enforce this guaranty of payment irrespective of whether or not other proceedings or steps are pending
seeking resort to or realization upon or from any of the foregoing. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including
court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors or any of them in endeavoring to collect on the Indebtedness or any part thereof and in enforcing this Guaranty Agreement. 

6. The granting of credit to the Company by any Guaranteed Creditor from time to time in addition to the Indebtedness under the
Credit Agreement without notice to the Guarantors, or any of them, is hereby authorized and shall in no way affect or impair the obligations and liability of the Guarantors, or any of them, hereunder. 

7. The payment by any Guarantor of any amount or amounts under this guaranty of payment shall not entitle it, either at law, in
equity or otherwise, to any right, title or interest (whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) in and to any of the Indebtedness, or in and to any security or collateral therefor, or in or to any amounts at any time paid or payable under or
pursuant to any guaranty by any other Person of all or part of Indebtedness, or in and to any amounts theretofore, then or thereafter paid or applicable to the payment of the Indebtedness, howsoever such payment or payments may arise, until all of
the Indebtedness has been fully paid and all obligations of the Guaranteed Creditors to extend credit to or for the benefit of the Company shall have terminated or expired. 

8. This Guaranty Agreement may be enforced by the Guaranteed Creditors acting jointly, or it may be enforced by any Guaranteed
Creditor acting alone or separately with respect to the Indebtedness which it holds. Any Guaranteed Creditor may, without any notice to the Guarantors, sell, assign or transfer, to the extent permitted

  
 -3- 

 
in the Credit Agreement, the Indebtedness held by it, or any part thereof, or grant participations therein; and in that event, each and every immediate and successive assignee, transferee or
holder of or participant in all or any part of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, have the right to enforce this Guaranty Agreement, by suit or otherwise, for the benefit of such assignee, transferee, holder or
participant as fully as if such assignee, transferee, holder or participant were herein by name specifically given such rights, powers and benefits; but each Guaranteed Creditor shall have an unimpaired right to enforce this Guaranty Agreement for
its own benefit or for the benefit of any such participant as to so much of the Indebtedness that it has not sold, assigned or transferred. 

9. If any payment applied by any Guaranteed Creditor to any of the Indebtedness is thereafter set aside, recovered, rescinded
or required to be returned for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any other obligor), the Indebtedness to which such payment was applied shall for the purposes of this Guaranty
Agreement be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and this Guaranty Agreement shall be enforceable as to such of the Indebtedness as fully as if such application had never been made. 

10. This Guaranty Agreement shall be construed according to the internal laws of the state of Illinois, in which State it shall
be performed by the Guarantors. This Guaranty Agreement and every part hereof shall be binding upon the Guarantors jointly and severally and upon their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of each and all of the undersigned, and
shall inure to the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and their respective successors, legal representatives and assigns. 

11. This writing is intended by the parties to be a complete and final expression of this Guaranty Agreement and is also
intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of that agreement. No course of dealing, course of performance or trade usage, and no parole evidence of any nature, shall be used to supplement or modify any terms hereof, nor are there
any conditions to the full effectiveness of this Guaranty Agreement. 
 12. EACH GUARANTOR
AND, BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT, EACH GUARANTEED CREDITOR
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATIVE TO THIS GUARANTY
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

13. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide
such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by the Company and each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor
shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise under this Guaranty Agreement, voidable

  
 -4- 

 
under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in
full force and effect until discharged in accordance with Section 4. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the
benefit of the Company and each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
