respective roles under the Trust, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members and Manager as follows:

other instrument. 
 (e) No registration with or consent or approval of, or other action by any federal, state or other governmental court,

transactions contemplated thereby, or, if so required, such registration has been made, such consent or approval given or such other appropriate action taken, or will be taken, within any required time period applicable thereto.

connection herewith, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

(a) The establishment of the Trust, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the making of any loan by the Company to the Trust
for the purposes of acquiring any 

  
 3 

 
Trust property, and the terms and conditions of the Trust with respect thereto, do not and will not render the Company insolvent, with an unreasonably small capital, and will not be undertaken to
hinder, delay or defraud creditors. The Company shall insure that all property contributed to the Trust is contributed free and clear of all liens, charges or encumbrances or other undue restrictions, and the foregoing covenant shall apply whether
or not such property is acquired directly by the Company or is acquired by the Trustee on the direction of the Committee described in the Trust excluding any pledge in favor of the Company.

and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, with an updated opinion of counsel with respect to such matters. 
 4.
In order to induce the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members and Manager to continue to serve in their various roles with respect to the Trust, the Company agrees that if the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members and/or Manager should be made a party or
be threatened to be made a party to or be otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether or not one by or in the right of the Company, including an action, suit or
proceeding by or in the right of any affiliate (a “Proceeding”), in all cases by reason of the fact that they were a trustee or other advisor of the Trust, they shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company, against all judgments,
fines, ERISA or other excise tax or penalties, amounts paid in settlement and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred as a result of such Proceeding, or any appeal therein, and such indemnification shall continue if the
Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members, or Manager has ceased to serve in their respective role(s) regarding the Trust and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee’s, Advisor/Protector’s, Members’ or Manager’s agents, officers,
successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that no indemnification will be made with respect to any specific case in which a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members
and/or Manager establishes that such acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members and/or Manager
personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which such party was not legally entitled, or were the result of gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 

5. The right of indemnification conferred herein shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in defending any
Proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “Advancement of Expenses”). 

  
 4 

 6. If a claim for indemnification hereunder, including a claim for Advancement of Expenses, is
not paid in full by the Company or from Trust assets within sixty days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members or Manager may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover
the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members or Manager shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. Neither the failure of the
Company (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members or Manager is proper in
the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members or Manager has not met the applicable standard of conduct,
shall create a presumption that the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members or Manager has not met the applicable standard or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members or Manager for an Advancement of Expenses
hereunder, the burden of proving that the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members or Manager is not entitled to be indemnified shall be on the Company. 

7. The rights of indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred hereunder shall not be exclusive of any other right which the
Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members or Manager may have or hereafter acquire under any law, statute, the Trust Agreement, agreements, or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. 

8. The Company may (but shall not be obligated to) maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and the Trustee, Advisor/Protector,
Members, and Manager and others against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the New York Business Corporation Law. The Company shall
not be liable to make any payment hereunder to the extent payment is actually made to the Trustee under any such insurance policy. If the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members and/or Manager is required to pay any amount that the Company is obligated
to pay hereunder except for the exclusion in this subsection, before payment is reasonably expected to be made under the insurance policy, the Company shall promptly advance the amount the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members and Manager are required
to pay for which the Company is liable hereunder. Any advance by the Company shall be made with the undertaking of the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members and Manager which hereby is given, that it shall immediately pay over to the Company, from the
funds the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members and/or Manager later receive(s) under the insurance policy, an amount equal to the amount which the Company advanced pursuant to this subsection. In addition, upon payment of indemnified amounts under
this agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the Trustee’s, Advisor/Protector’s, Members’ and/or Manager’s rights against any insurance carrier in respect of such indemnified amounts and the Trustee, Advisor/Protector,
Members and/or Manager shall execute and deliver any and all instruments and/or documents and do such other acts or things which the Company deems necessary or advisable to secure such rights. The Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members and Manager
shall do nothing to prejudice such rights of recovery or subrogation. 

  
 5 

 9. If any provision of this agreement is determined by a court to require the Company to do or to
fail to do an act which is in violation of applicable law, such provision shall be limited or modified in its application to the minimum extent necessary to avoid a violation of law, and, as so limited or modified, such provision and the balance of
this agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with their terms. 
 10. This agreement shall bind all successors and assigns of the
Company (including any transferee of all or substantially all of its assets and any successor by merger or operation of law) and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of the Trustee, Advisor/Protector, Members, and
Manager. 
 11. All matters with respect to this agreement, including, without limitation, matters of validity, construction, effect and
performance shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of South Dakota applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein between the residents thereof (regardless of the laws which might otherwise be applicable under principles of
conflicts of law). 
 12. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand, telecopier, or when mailed by certified or registered mail, with postage pre-paid.
