4.        Amendment of Section 2.4(b) of the Purchase

(e)        “Final Closing Net Indebtedness” means
(i) Closing Net Indebtedness as shown in the Closing Statement delivered (or deemed to have been delivered) by the Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.4(b) if no Dispute Notice with respect

Representative pursuant to Section 2.4(d) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as determined in the Independent Accountant’s report delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(d). 

6.        Amendment of Section 2.4(f) of the Purchase

(f)        Following determination of Final Closing Net Indebtedness
in accordance with Section 2.4(e), the Purchase Price will be adjusted as follows (such adjustment, the “Purchase Price Adjustment”): 

(i)        if Final Closing Net Indebtedness is greater than
Estimated Closing Net Indebtedness, the Sellers shall pay the Buyer a Purchase Price Adjustment equal to (A) 51%, multiplied by (B) the sum of Final Closing Net Indebtedness, minus Estimated
Closing Net Indebtedness; and 
 (ii)        if Final Closing Net
Indebtedness is less than Estimated Closing Net Indebtedness, the Buyer shall pay the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers in proportion to their respective Pro-Rata Shares) a Purchase Price
Adjustment equal to (A) 51%, multiplied by (B) the sum of Estimated Closing Net Indebtedness, minus Final Closing Net Indebtedness. 

7.        Estimated Statement. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that
the Estimated Statement attached hereto as Exhibit A has been (a) timely delivered by the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with Section 2.4(a) of the Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, and

As promptly as practicable following the Closing, the Parties hereby agree to cause the Company to make a Tax Distribution (as defined in the A&R Operating Agreement) with respect to the taxable income of the Company through June 30, 2018,
to the extent not previously taken into account in a prior Tax Distribution.

to be appropriate. If additional Units are subsequently issued by the Company, the Capital Account (if any) with respect to those Units as of the date of issuance and the Capital Contributions (if any) that shall be deemed to be made by the Member
receiving such Units as of the date of issuance shall be set forth in the agreement pursuant to which the additional Units are issued. Promptly following the issuance of Units, the Board of Managers shall cause the books and records of the Company,
and an amended Exhibit A hereto, to reflect the number of Units issued, any Members or additional Members holding such Units and in the case of Units issued other than in connection with the performance of services, the Capital Contribution
per Unit, and the Company shall promptly provide the amended Exhibit A to each Member. Upon the receipt of approvals as required under this Agreement, execution of this Agreement or a counterpart of this Agreement, together with any other
documents or instruments required by the Board of Managers in connection therewith, and the making of the Capital Contribution (if any) specified to be made at such time, a Person shall be admitted to the Company as a Member of the Company. 

3.4        Capital Contributions. Each Member’s Capital Contribution, if
any, whether in cash or in-kind, and the number of Units issued to such Member shall be as set forth in Exhibit A. Any Member making an in-kind
Capital Contribution agrees from time to time to do such further acts and execute such further documents as the Board of Managers may direct to perfect the Company’s interest in such in-kind Capital
Contribution. 
 3.5        Termination of Governance Rights. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if, without the Board of Managers’ consent, at any time after the Effective Date, a Competing Business shall acquire (whether effected by merger, purchase of assets, lease, equity exchange or otherwise)
Control of a Member (or a Member shall Control, be Controlled by or under common Control with a Competing Business) or any Units from a Member, then upon the occurrence of such event any Governance Rights of such Member or associated with such Units
shall automatically terminate, subject to Section 11.8; provided that this Section 3.5 shall not apply to Jefferies or NBM or any of their respective Permitted Transferees (or an Assignee in
a Transfer in connection with a Permitted Financing Pledge) and shall not be construed to prohibit the transactions by NBPCo in Sections 6.8 and 6.9. 

3.6        Additional Issuances of Units. 

(a)        The Board of Managers shall not offer to sell or otherwise
issue additional Units to any Person, including to any other Member, unless: (i) (x) the Board’s resolutions authorizing the sale or issuance of such additional Units describe in reasonable detail the Company’s business purpose for
undertaking, and the terms of, such proposed issuance or (y) the Board shall have determined that such issuance of Units is, in their good faith judgment, advisable for the Company; and (ii) the Board of Managers shall have complied with
this Section 3.6 and, if applicable, Section 7.4.2. 

  
 14 

 (b)        Prior to
offering to sell or otherwise issue additional Units, the Board of Managers shall first offer to the Members the opportunity to purchase such offered Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Percentage Interests at the same price, and on
the same terms and conditions, as the Board of Managers is prepared, or proposes, to offer or issue such additional Units to any other Member or to any Person who, prior to such sale or issuance, is not a Member of the Company. The Members shall
have a period of 30 days to accept such offer (or, in the case of a sale or issuance to any Person who is not, prior to such sale or issuance, a Member of the Company, 10 days). In the event any Member (a
“Non-Participating Member”) does not purchase all of the additional Units offered to such Member pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.6(b), the Board of
Managers shall offer the Members that elect to purchase their entire pro rata share of the additional Units offered to such Members pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.6(b) the right to purchase the additional
Units not purchased by the Non-Participating Member on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests (or in any other manner they may unanimously agree upon in writing), which offer
the applicable Members may accept by providing notice of such acceptance to the Company within five days after such offer. This Section 3.6(b) may not be amended without the consent of each Member that would be adversely
impacted by such amendment. 
 (c)        Upon expiration of the
periods described in Section 3.6(b), the Company shall be entitled to offer, issue or sell such additional Units that the Members have not elected to purchase during the 180 days following such expiration on terms and
conditions not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Members pursuant to Section 3.6(b). Any additional Units proposed to be offered, issued or sold by the Company after such 180-day period, or offered, issued or sold by the Company during such 180-day period on terms or conditions materially more favorable than those offered to the Members
pursuant to Section 3.6(b), must be reoffered to the Members in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.6 prior to any such offer, issuance or sale. 

(d)        The provisions of this
Section 3.6 shall not apply to: (i) Units that are issued in order to acquire the assets or business of another Person; or (ii) Units that are issued to employees or consultants pursuant to compensation plans or
agreements approved by the Board of Managers. 
  

	4.	 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS 

4.1        Allocations. The Net Profits and Net Loss of the Company and any
items of income, gain, deduction or loss that are specially allocated in any Fiscal Year or other fiscal period shall be allocated among the Members as provided in Article 5. 

4.2        Capital Accounts. A separate account (each a “Capital
Account”) shall be established and maintained on the books of the Company for each Member which: 

(a)        shall be increased by (i) the amount of cash and the
fair market value of any other property contributed by such Member to the Company as a Capital Contribution (net of liabilities secured by such property or that the Company assumes or takes the property subject to) and (ii) such Member’s
distributive share of the Net Profit of the Company, and 

  
 15 

 
any items in the nature of income or gain that are specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Article 5 or other provisions of the Agreement, 

(b)        shall be reduced by (i) the amount of cash and the
fair market value of any other property distributed to such Member (net of liabilities secured by such property or that the Member assumes or takes the property subject to) and (ii) such Member’s distributive share of the Net Loss of the
Company and any items in the nature of expenses or losses that are specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Article 5 or other provisions of the Agreement, and 

(c)        shall take into account in determining the amount of any
liability for purposes of clauses (a) and (b) above, Section 752(c) and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Regulations. 

It is the intention of the Members that the Capital Accounts of the Company be maintained in accordance with the provisions of
Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder and that this Agreement be interpreted consistently therewith. No Member shall have an obligation to the Company or to any other Member to restore any negative balance in the Capital
Account of such Member. 
 4.3        Revaluations of Assets and Capital Account
Adjustments. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Managers, (i) immediately preceding the issuance of additional Units in exchange for cash, property or services to a new or existing Member, (ii) upon the redemption of the
Interest of a Member or a portion thereof, (iii) upon the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) and (iv) at such other times as are necessary
or advisable, as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers, in order to comply with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, the then-prevailing Asset
Values of the Company shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, as determined in good faith by the Board of Managers, and any increase in the net equity value of the Company (Asset Values less liabilities) shall be
credited to the Capital Accounts of the Members in the same manner as Net Profits are credited under Section 5.6.2 (or any decrease in the net equity value of the Company shall be charged in the same manner as Net Losses
are charged under Section 5.6.2). Accordingly, as of the date of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, the Capital Accounts of Members will reflect both realized and unrealized gains and losses through such date and the
net fair market value of the equity of the Company as of such date. 

4.4        Additional Capital Account Adjustments. Any income of the Company
that is exempt from federal income tax shall be credited to the Capital Accounts of the Members in the same manner as Net Profits are credited under Section 5.6.2 when such income is realized. Any expenses or expenditures
of the Company which may neither be deducted nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes (or are so treated for federal income tax purposes) shall be charged to the Capital Accounts of the Members in the same manner as Net Losses are charged
under Section 5.6.2. If the Company is subject to an election under Section 754 of the Code to provide a special basis adjustment upon the transfer of an Interest in the Company or the distribution of property by the
Company in accordance with Code Section 734(b) or 743(b), Capital Accounts shall be adjusted to the limited extent required by the Regulations under Section 704 of the Code following such transfer or distribution, as reasonably determined
by the Board of Managers. 

  
 16 

 4.5        Additional Capital
Account Provisions. No Member shall have the right to demand a return of all or any part of such Member’s Capital Contributions. Any return of the Capital Contributions of any Member shall be made solely from the assets of the Company and
only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No interest shall be paid to any Member with respect to such Member’s Capital Contributions or Capital Account. In the event that all or a portion of the Units of a Member are transferred in
accordance with this Agreement, the transferee of such Units shall also succeed to all or the relevant portion of the Capital Account of the transferor. Units held by a Member may not be transferred independently of the Interest to which the Units
relate. 
  

	5.	 DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS OF PROFIT AND LOSS 

5.1        Board of Managers Determination; Annual Distribution. The Board of
Managers shall determine the timing and the aggregate amount of any Distributions to Members; provided, however, that: 

5.1.1        The Company shall make a Tax Distribution not later than
the dates specified in Section 5.2.1, unless the Members each consent otherwise. 

5.1.2        The Board of Managers may make any additional
Distributions to the Members, pro rata in accordance with each Member’s Percentage Interest (except as set forth in Section 12.5 hereof), in such aggregate amounts and on such occasions as the Board of Managers may
determine; provided that the Board of Managers shall distribute all Excess Cash, to the extent not previously distributed, within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year (subject to such Excess Cash being distributable in accordance with
any contractual restrictions under the Credit Documents and applicable law). Except as set forth in Section 12.5, no distributions shall be made by the Board of Managers to Members other than pro rata in accordance with
each Member’s Percentage Interest. 
 5.1.3        Except as
set forth in Section 12.5, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the provisions of the Act, no Person shall have any claim or right of enforcement with respect to or arising out of a Tax Distribution
(whether under Article 5 or otherwise) against (i) any Manager, (ii) any Member or (iii) any Affiliate of a Manager or a Member, and such Person’s sole recourse with respect to or arising out of a Tax
Distribution shall be against the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, except for the rights of the Members pursuant to Article 12, which are not being waived by this sentence, if and to the extent any such claim or right exists or may be
deemed to exist, each Manager, Member, and any of their respective Affiliates (and any Person claiming by or through any such member of the Board of Managers, Member or Affiliate) hereby waives any such claim or right against any Manager, any Member
and each Affiliate of any such member of the Board of Managers or Member, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5.1.3, “Affiliates” of a Person shall exclude the Company and its Subsidiaries. 

5.2        Distributions. Distributions from the Company to its Members shall
be made only after allocating the Net Profit or Net Loss of the Company through the date as of which the Distribution is being charged to the Capital Accounts of the Members. Such Distributions shall be charged to the Capital Accounts of the Members
and made in the following order (except that 

  
 17 

 
no Member shall be entitled to receive a Distribution that would create or increase a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account unless the Capital Accounts of all Members have
previously been reduced to zero): 
 5.2.1        Tax
Distributions. Except as set forth in Section 12.5, the Company shall distribute to all Members prior to the 10th day before the due date of the federal quarterly estimated tax payments an aggregate amount equal to the
Base Tax Rate times the allocations of taxable income made or expected to be made pursuant to this Article 5 for such quarter (the “Tax Distribution”). The Board of Managers shall determine the amount to be
distributed to the Members pursuant to this Section 5.2.1 in its reasonable discretion based on such reasonable assumptions as the Board of Managers determines in good faith to be appropriate, including by making reasonable
adjustments to each quarter’s Tax Distributions to take into account the extent to which Tax Distributions paid in prior quarters are less or more than the amount required to take into account actual taxable income for such quarters and
estimated taxable income for the current quarter. Except as set forth in Section 12.5, Tax Distributions shall be divided among the Members pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests; provided that if
there is a change in Percentage Interest of any Member during any taxable period, such allocations shall be based on allocations of taxable income during each such portion of the taxable period, as determined under
Section 5.6.1(d). The “Base Tax Rate” shall be equal to 54%. The Board of Managers shall consider adjusting the Base Tax Rate to be above 54% if requested by a Member upon a determination that the federal
and state tax rates affecting the Member (or the Member’s taxpayers) have increased by more than 1%; provided, however, the Board of Managers shall have no obligation to increase the Base Tax Rate. For purposes of computing
taxable income under this Section 5.2.1, taxable income shall be determined without taking account the effect of any benefit to a Member under Sections 199A, 743(b), or 734(b) of the Code, but after taking into account the
effect of any allocations pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code. All Tax Distributions shall be treated as an advance against, and shall be taken into account in determining, other distributions pursuant to
Section 5.2.2 or Section 13.3; provided, that the Tax Distribution made prior to the execution of this Agreement shall not be so treated as an advance against, or taken into account in
determining, other distributions pursuant to Section 5.2.2 or Section 13.3. 

5.2.2        Other Distributions. Except as set forth in
Section 12.5, all other Distributions (including the annual distribution of Excess Cash pursuant to Section 5.1.2) shall be allocated among the Members pro rata in accordance with their Percentage
Interests at the time of such Distributions. 
 5.3        No Violation.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a Distribution to any Member on account of such Member’s Interest in the Company if such Distribution would violate any contractual
restriction binding on the Company under the Credit Documents, Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable law. 

5.4        Withholdings. Subject to the terms of
Section 12.5, the Board of Managers is authorized to withhold from Distributions to Members, or with respect to allocations to Members and in each case to pay over to the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign
government any 

  
 18 

 
amounts required by law to be so withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any federal, state, local or foreign tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the
Company shall be treated as amounts paid to the Company and each Member shall be treated as having received a distribution pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof equal to the portion of the withholding tax allocable to such Member,
as determined by the Board of Managers. Any taxes withheld on a payment to the Company or a payment by the Company to a Member pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be treated as if distributed to the relevant Member to the
extent that an amount equal to such withheld taxes would then be distributable to such Member, and, to the extent in excess of such distributable amounts, as a demand loan payable by the Member to the Company with interest at the prime rate in
effect from time to time plus 2%, compounded annually. The Board of Managers may, in its sole discretion, either demand payment of the principal and accrued interest on such demand loan at any time, and enforce payment thereof by legal process, or
withhold from one or more distributions to a Member amounts sufficient to satisfy such Member’s obligations under any demand loan payable to the Company. In the event that the Company receives a refund of taxes previously withheld by a third
party from one or more payments to the Company, the economic benefit of such refund shall be apportioned among the Members in a manner reasonably determined by the Board of Managers to offset the prior operation of this
Section 5.4 in respect of such withheld taxes. Promptly upon request, each Member shall provide the Company with any information related to such Member that is necessary (a) to allow the Company to comply with any tax
reporting, tax withholding, or tax payment obligations of the Company or (b) to establish the Company’s legal entitlement to an exemption from, or reduction of, or refund or credit of withholding tax. As a security for any withholding tax
or other liability or obligation to which the Company may be subject as a result of any act or status of any Member, or to which the Company may become subject with respect to the Interest of any Member, the Company shall have (and each Member
hereby grants to the Company) a security interest in all distributable assets of the Company distributable to such Member to the extent of the amount of such withholding tax or other liability or obligation. Neither the Company nor the Board of
Managers shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any Member’s Interest, and, in the event of overwithholding, a Member’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate governmental authority. If the
Company, the Board of Managers, any Member in such Member’s capacity acting as the Tax Matters Member or the Partnership Representative (as applicable), or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, managers, members and, as determined by the Board of Managers in its sole and absolute discretion, consultants or agents (the “Withholding Indemnified Parties” and each a “Withholding Indemnified Party”),
becomes liable as a result of failure to withhold and remit taxes in respect of any Member, then, in addition to, and without limiting, any indemnities for which such Member may be liable under this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the Board of
Managers in writing, such Member shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Withholding Indemnified Parties, in respect of all taxes, including interest and penalties, and any expenses incurred in any examination,
determination, resolution and payment of such liability, except with respect to any interest, penalties or expenses which arise as a result of any act or omission with respect to which a court of competent jurisdiction has issued a final,
nonappealable judgment that such applicable Withholding Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct or fraud. The provisions contained in this Section 5.4 shall survive the termination of the
Company and the Transfer of any Interest. 

  
 19 

 5.5        Property Distributions
and Installment Sales. If any assets of the Company shall be distributed in kind pursuant to this Article 5, such assets shall be distributed to the Members entitled thereto in the same proportions as the Members would
have been entitled to cash Distributions. The amount by which the fair market value of any property to be distributed in kind to the Members exceeds or is less than the then prevailing Asset Value of such property shall, to the extent not otherwise
recognized by the Company, be taken into account in determining Net Profit and Net Loss and determining the Capital Accounts of the Members as if such property had been sold at its fair market value immediately prior to such Distribution. If any
assets are sold in transactions in which, by reason of Section 453 of the Code, gain is realized but not recognized, such gain shall be taken into account when realized in computing gain or loss of the Company for purposes of allocation of Net
Profit or Net Loss under this Article 5 and, if such sales shall involve substantially all the assets of the Company, the Company shall be deemed to have been dissolved and terminated notwithstanding any election by the
Members to continue the Company for purposes of collecting the proceeds of such sales. 

5.6        Net Profit or Net Loss. 

5.6.1        The “Net Profit” or “Net
Loss” of the Company for each Fiscal Year or relevant part thereof shall mean the Company’s taxable income or loss for federal income tax purposes for such period (including all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be
stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the Code) with the following adjustments: 

(a)        Gain or loss attributable to the disposition of property of
the Company with an Asset Value different from the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes shall be computed with respect to the Asset Value of such property, and any tax gain or loss not included in Net Profit or Net Loss
shall be taken into account and allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Members pursuant to Section 5.8. 

(b)        Depreciation, amortization or cost recovery deductions with
respect to any property with an Asset Value that differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes shall be computed in accordance with Asset Value, and any depreciation allowable for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in
accordance with Section 5.8. 

(c)        Any items that are required to be allocated pursuant to
Section 5.7 shall not be taken into account in determining Net Profit or Net Loss. 

(d)        In the event of a variation of Percentage Interests during
a Fiscal Year, whether as a result of a Transfer of Interests or new issuance or repurchase of Units or otherwise, Net Profit or Net Loss and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company shall be allocated to the
portions of such Fiscal Year preceding and following such variation based on an interim closing of the books, except where otherwise required by Section 706 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. 

  
 20 

5.6.2        General Allocations. 

(a)        Hypothetical Liquidation. The items of income,
expense, gain and loss of the Company comprising Net Profit or Net Loss for a Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members that were Members during such Fiscal Year in a manner that will, as nearly as possible, cause the Capital Account balance
of each Member at the end of such Fiscal Year to equal the excess (which may be negative) of: 

(i)        the hypothetical distribution (if any) that such Member
would receive if, on the last day of the Fiscal Year, (x) all Company assets, including cash, were sold for cash equal to their then-prevailing Asset Values, taking into account any adjustments thereto for such Fiscal Year, (y) all Company
liabilities were satisfied in cash according to their terms (limited, with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability, to the then-prevailing Asset Value of the assets securing such liability) and (z) the net proceeds thereof (after satisfaction of
such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof; over 

(ii)        the sum of (x) the amount, if any, which such Member
is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company, (y) such Member’s share of the Company Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(g), and (z) such
Member’s Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), all computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale described in
Section 5.6.2(a)(i) above. 
 For purposes of the foregoing hypothetical sale
described in Section 5.6.2(a)(i) above, all assets and liabilities of any entity that is wholly-owned by the Company and disregarded as an entity separate from the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be treated as
assets and liabilities of the Company. 
 (b)        Loss
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.6.2(b), the amount of items of Company expense and loss allocated pursuant to this Section 5.6.2(b) to any Member shall
not exceed the maximum amount of such items that can be so allocated without causing such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year, unless each Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. All such
items in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.6.2(b) shall be allocated first, to Members who would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, pro rata, in proportion to their Capital Account balances,
adjusted as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, until no Member would be entitled to any further allocation, and thereafter, to all Members, pro rata, in proportion to their Percentage
Interests. 
 5.6.3        Interpretation. The Members intend
for the allocation provisions set forth in this Agreement to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder and to appropriately reflect the Members’ rights to Distributions as set forth in
Sections 5.2 and 13.3, and the Board of Managers shall interpret the provisions in accordance with such intent and make such adjustments as may be necessary to effect such intent; provided, however,
that any such interpretation or adjustment shall affect only 

  
 21 

 
Capital Accounts and allocations and shall not affect any Member’s rights to Distributions as set forth in this Agreement. 

5.7        Regulatory Allocations. Although the Members do not anticipate that
events will arise that will require application of this Section 5.7, provisions governing the allocation of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and credit (and items thereof) are included in this Agreement as may be
necessary to provide that the Company’s allocation provisions contain a so-called “Qualified Income Offset” within the meaning of Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and comply with all provisions relating to the allocation of (i) Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain and the chargeback thereof as set forth in
the Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code and (ii) Nonrecourse Deductions and Member Nonrecourse Deductions (clauses (i) and (ii) together, the “Regulatory Allocations”); provided, however, that
the Members intend that all Regulatory Allocations that may be required shall be offset by other Regulatory Allocations or special allocations of items so that each Member’s share of the Net Profit, Net Loss and capital of the Company will be
the same as it would have been had the events requiring the Regulatory Allocations not occurred. For this purpose, the Board of Managers, based on the advice of the Company’s auditors or tax counsel, is hereby authorized to make such special
curative allocations of tax items as may be necessary to minimize or eliminate any economic distortions that may result from any required Regulatory Allocations. 

5.8        Tax Allocations. Code Section 704(c) and Unrealized
Appreciation or Depreciation. 
 5.8.1        Contributed
Assets. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company with an adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes different from the initial Asset Value at
which such property was accepted by the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account such difference in the manner required by Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Regulations. 

5.8.2        Revalued Assets. If upon the acquisition of
additional Units in the Company by a new or existing Member the Asset Value of any the assets of the Company is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.3, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to
such assets shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account such adjustment in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Regulations. 

5.8.3        Elections and Limitations. The allocations
required by this Section 5.8 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect the allocation of Net Profits or Net Losses as between Members or any Member’s Capital Account. All tax
allocations required by this Section 5.8 shall be made using the “traditional method” that is described in the Regulations Section 1.704-3. 

5.8.4        Allocations. Except as noted above, all items of
income, deduction and loss shall be allocated for federal, state and local income tax purposes in the same manner as such items are allocated for purposes of calculating Net Profits and Net Losses. 

  
 22 

 5.9        Imputed Tax
Underpayment. To the extent there is an adjustment by the IRS or other taxing authority to an item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company, or an item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of any entity that is treated as
a partnership for federal income tax purposes in which the Company holds an ownership interest that is allocable to the Company (or, in each case, an adjustment to any Member’s distributive share thereof), the Partnership Representative shall
reallocate the adjusted items among each Member or former Member in accordance with the final resolution of such audit adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Member (or former Member) shall bear any tax, interest,
penalty or “imputed underpayment” under Code Section 6225 (if applicable) or similar amount resulting from the final resolution of any audit adjustment (the “Imputed Tax Underpayment”) to the extent such Imputed Tax
Underpayment is attributable to such Member (or former Member) or results from the status of such Member (or such former Member) as a Member in the Reviewed Year. 
  

	6.	 STATUS, RIGHTS AND POWERS OF MEMBERS AND CERTAIN MEMBER AGREEMENTS 

6.1        Limited Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the
debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, expenses, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member or Indemnified Person shall be obligated personally for
any such debt, expense, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member or Indemnified Person. All Persons dealing with the Company shall have recourse solely to the assets of the Company for the payment of the debts,
obligations or liabilities of the Company. In no event shall any Member be required to make up any deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account upon the liquidation of such Member’s Interest or otherwise. 

6.2        Return of Distributions of Capital. Except as otherwise expressly
required by law, a Member, in such capacity, shall have no liability for obligations or liabilities of the Company in excess of (a) the amount of such Member’s Capital Contributions, (b) such Member’s share of any assets and
undistributed profits of the Company and (c) to the extent required by law, the amount of any Distributions wrongfully distributed to such Member. Except as required by law, no Member shall be obligated by this Agreement to return any
Distribution to the Company or pay the amount of any Distribution for the account of the Company or to any creditor of the Company; provided, however, that if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding this
Agreement, any Member is obligated to return or pay any part of any Distribution, such obligation shall bind such Member alone and not any other Member or any Manager. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are solely for the benefit
of the Members and shall not be construed as benefiting any third party. The amount of any Distribution returned to the Company by a Member or paid by a Member for the account of the Company or to a creditor of the Company shall be added to the
account or accounts from which it was subtracted when it was distributed to such Member. 

6.3        No Management or Control. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement and notwithstanding Section 18-402 of the Act, no Member shall take part in, or interfere in any manner with, the management of the business and affairs of the Company or have any right or

 6.7        Restrictions on Member Competition. In consideration
of the mutual covenants and agreements of the Company and the Members set forth in this Agreement, the Members set forth below hereby covenant and agree as follows: 

  
 24 

(a)        Certain Activities of USPB Prohibited. For so long as
USPB or any of its Affiliates owns or Controls any Units of the Company, but in any event until December 31, 2021, neither USPB nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, singularly or in the aggregate, own or Control any
Ownership Interests of, or otherwise run, manage, operate, direct, Control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or Control of, any Competing Business or any Competing Facility, other than an Ownership Interest of not more than 2.0%
in the aggregate in any publicly traded entity that is a Competing Business or that owns or Controls a Competing Business or a Competing Facility. 

(b)        Certain Activities of NBPCo
Prohibited. 
 (i)        Except as otherwise set forth below,
for so long as NBPCo or any of its Affiliates owns or Controls any Units of the Company, neither NBPCo nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, singularly or in the aggregate, own or Control more than 5% of the Ownership Interests
of, or otherwise run, manage, operate, direct, Control or participate in the management, operation or Control of, any Competing Business or any Competing Facility. 

(ii)        The Members acknowledge and agree that NBPCo and its

compete with the Company, subject to clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 6.7(b). 

(iii)        For so long as NBPCo or any of its Affiliates owns or
Controls any Units of the Company, if at any time NBPCo or its Affiliates commences a venture on its own that directly or indirectly competes with the Company in a segment of the beef market, then NBPCo will offer the Company an opportunity to
supply beef as a raw material to such business activity, on arm’s length terms and conditions. 

(iv)        For so long as NBPCo or any of its Affiliates owns or
Controls any Units of the Company, if at any time NBPCo or its Affiliates commences a venture in conjunction with a Competing Business or Competing Facility that directly or indirectly competes with the Company in a segment of the beef market, then
NBPCo or its Affiliate, as applicable, will offer the Company an opportunity to participate in a comparable venture on terms and conditions that are at least as favorable as the terms and conditions offered to, and agreed with, such Competing
Business or Competing Facility. If the opportunity is offered to the Company, and the Company fails, within 30 days after being so presented with such opportunity, to accept such opportunity, or otherwise fails to pursue such opportunity with
reasonable diligence, then the Company will waive its right to require NBPCo or its Affiliate, as applicable, to continue such offer and shall likewise waive any claim that the engagement by NBPCo or its Affiliate in such activity with a Competing
Business or Competing Facility on the terms and conditions offered to the Company violates this Section 6.7(b) or constitutes a breach of the fiduciary duties of NBPCo’s Manager designee, if applicable. 

  
 25 

 (v)        NBPCo
will not use its or its Affiliate’s Ownership Interest in the Company, to gather Confidential Information from the Company or to block competitive projects of the Company, and NBPCo agrees not to use any Confidential Information for any purpose

a venture of the type described above or that otherwise competes with the Company, the Board of Managers may restrict the access of NBPCo and its Affiliates to Confidential Information in the Board of Managers’ sole discretion, and NBPCo agrees
that, at the request of the Board of Managers, neither NBPCo nor any of its Affiliates will participate in or receive information related to Board of Managers meetings and other discussions relating to such Confidential Information or the
consideration of the Company’s involvement in such venture, Competing Business or Competing Facility. 

(vi)        Section 6.7(b) may not be
amended without the consent of NBPCo so long as NBPCo or any of its Affiliates owns or controls any Units of the Company. 

(vii)        For purposes of this
Section 6.7(b) only, “Competing Business” means a business or a Person conducting or Controlling a business that directly or indirectly competes with the business of the Company by engaging in the business
of cattle slaughtering, beef processing or hide tanning in the United States or Mexico; and “Competing Facility” means any cattle slaughtering facility, any beef processing facility or any hide tanning facility owned by a Competing
Business in the United States or Mexico. 
 (c)        Certain
Activities of Klein Prohibited.  Until the two-year anniversary of the date that Klein, New Kleinco and their respective Affiliates no longer own or Control any of the Units of the Company, none
of Klein, New Kleinco or their respective Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, own or Control any Ownership Interests of, or otherwise run, manage, operate, direct, Control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or Control of,
any Competing Business or any Competing Facility, other than an Ownership Interest of not more than 2.0% in the aggregate in any publicly traded entity that is a Competing Business or that owns or Controls a Competing Business or a Competing
Facility. 
 (d)        Severability.  If the final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 6.7 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or
unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and
enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. 

  
 26 

 6.8        Agreement for
NBPCo to Negotiate Certain Requirements Contracts in Good Faith. From and after the Effective Date, the Company and NBPCo agree to continue to meet and negotiate in good faith and on an arm’s length basis to ensure the
Company’s ability to acquire all its requirements of NBPCo’s finished product, and NBPCo’s ability to acquire all of its requirements of the Company’s trim, with equal to or less than 50% lean, each on terms and conditions at
least as favorable as the terms and conditions that such party would permit any other Person to participate in such transactions. This Section 6.8 may not be amended without the consent of NBPCo so long as NBPCo or its
Affiliates own or control Units of the Company. 
 6.9        Agreement Regarding
NBPCo Waiver of Right of Set-off. Each of NBPCo and the Company hereby irrevocably waives any right to offset any payment due or claimed to be due to such party under any agreement entered
into between them against any amounts that are due or claimed to be due by the other party under any other such agreement. This Section 6.9 may not be amended without the consent of NBPCo, so long as NBPCo or its Affiliates
own or control Units of the Company. 
 6.10        Contracts with Managers or
their Affiliates. No contract or transaction between the Company and a Manager or one of its Affiliates, or between the Company and any other entity in which a Manager or one of its Affiliates has a material financial interest, shall be void or
voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the Manager is present at or participates in the Board of Managers meeting at which the contract or transaction is authorized or votes to authorize such contract or transaction, if: (a) the
material facts of such Manager’s material financial interest are disclosed to the Board of Managers; and (b) the contract or transaction is otherwise permitted, authorized or approved in accordance with this Agreement. The presence of the
interested Manager may be counted in determining both the presence of a quorum at any such meeting at which the contract or transaction is authorized and the vote with respect thereto. 

6.11        Member Compensation; Expenses; Loans. 

(a)        Except as otherwise provided in a written agreement
approved by the Board of Managers and with Member Consent, no Member shall receive any salary, fee, or draw for services rendered to or on behalf of the Company. Except as otherwise approved, permitted or contemplated by or pursuant to a policy
approved by the Board of Managers and Member Consent, no Member shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred by such Member on behalf of the Company. 

(b)        Subject to Sections 6.6 and
7.4.2, any Member or Affiliate may, to the extent authorized by the Board of Managers and not prohibited by the Credit Documents, lend or advance money to the Company. If any Member or Affiliate shall make any such permitted loan or loans to
the Company or advance money on its behalf, the amount of any such loan or advance shall not be treated as a contribution to the capital of the Company but shall be a debt due from the Company and shall be repayable out of the Company’s cash.
None of the Members or their Affiliates shall be obligated to make any loan or advance to the Company.

 7.3        Number and Designation Rights. 

(a)        The Board of Managers shall consist of up to nine Managers,
to be appointed as follows: 
 (i)        Jefferies, for so long as
Jefferies and its Affiliates hold the Requisite Percentage, shall have the right to designate two Managers (each such Manager, a “Jefferies Manager”). 

(ii)        USPB, until the earliest to occur of (A) USPB
ceasing to own at least 1,068 Units and (B) the date on which the Cattle Agreement Trigger occurs, shall have the right to designate one Manager. 

(iii)        NBM shall have the right to designate five Managers
(each, an “NBM Manager”). 
 (iv)        The Chief
Executive Officer of the Company shall be a Manager. 

(b)        Other than with respect to the Managers set forth in
Section 7.2, if it is necessary pursuant to this Article 7 to appoint additional or replacement Managers, each Member specified to so designate one or more Manager(s) pursuant to
Section 7.3(a) shall designate its Manager(s) by delivering to the Company a written statement designating its Manager(s) and setting forth the respective business address and telephone number of each

  
 29 

 
such Manager. The Members, by signing this Agreement, hereby agree to the designation of the Persons identified above in Section 7.2 hereto as Managers until their
successors are designated in accordance with this Article 7, each such Manager, being deemed designated by the Member set forth opposite such Manager indicated above. A Manager need not be a Member. 

7.4        Voting and Act of the Board of Managers; Actions Requiring Jefferies
Consent; Action without a Meeting. 
 7.4.1        Subject to
Section 7.4.2, each Manager shall have one vote on any matter before the Board of Managers, and any such matter shall be decided by the Board of Managers by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Managers present at a
duly held meeting at which a quorum is present, and references in this Agreement to actions by the Board of Managers shall be read accordingly. There shall be no requirement that any action of the Board of Managers be approved by the Managers
elected or appointed by a certain group of Members. 

7.4.2        Notwithstanding Section 7.4.1,
the approval of any of the matters set out on Exhibit B shall require (a) the affirmative vote of a majority of the Managers present at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present, (b) for so long as Jefferies owns the
Requisite Percentage, the approval by Jefferies in its capacity as a Member, and (c) the approval by NBM in its capacity as a Member. When requested by the Board of Managers pursuant to this Section 7.4.2, each of
Jefferies and NBM shall, within five Business Days of receipt of such request, provide written notice to the Board of Managers of its determination to consent or not consent to the actions for which such consent is required pursuant to
Exhibit B. 
 7.4.3        Any action required or permitted
to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Managers may be taken by unanimous written action signed by all of the Managers comprising the Board of Managers and such writing or writings shall be filed with the records of the meetings of the Board of
Managers. Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as the act of the Board of Managers. For the avoidance of doubt, the vote required for a written action pursuant to this Section 7.4.3 shall not affect the vote
required for an action to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Managers pursuant to Section 7.4.1. 

7.5        Tenure. Except as otherwise provided by law or by this Agreement,
each Manager shall remain in office until such Manager dies, resigns, or is removed by the Member designating such Manager. 

7.6        Resignation. Any Manager may resign at any time. Such resignation
shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if no time be specified then at the time of its receipt by the President or the Secretary of the Company. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make
it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. 

7.7        Removal. A Manager may be replaced or removed at any time by the
Member designating such Manager, and may only be removed in accordance with this Section 7.7. 

  
 30 

 7.8        Vacancies. Any
vacancy occurring on the Board of Managers shall be filled by the Member designating such Manager having the right to elect or appoint such Manager. The Board of Managers shall have and may exercise all their powers notwithstanding the existence of
one or more vacancies in their number, subject to any requirements of law or of this Agreement as to the number of Managers required for a quorum or for any vote or other action; provided, however, that the Board of Managers may not
take any action without first giving a Member able to designate a Manager to fill a vacancy at least 48 hours to fill such vacancy. 

7.9        Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Managers shall be held
from time to time as determined by the Board of Managers. Special meetings of the Board of Managers shall be held upon the call of the Chairman of the Board of Managers, the Chief Executive Officer or any Manager designated by NBM. Board of Managers
meetings shall be held at the principal office of the Company or at such other place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated by the person calling the meeting and stated in the notice of the meeting. Managers may
participate in a Board of Managers meeting by means of video or audio conferencing or similar communications equipment whereby all Managers participating in the meeting can hear each other. 

7.10        Notice. Notice of each meeting of the Board of Managers, in writing
or by electronic mail, stating the place, day and hour of the meeting, shall be given to each Manager at least 48 hours before the time at which the meeting is to be held. The notice or waiver of notice of any special or regular meeting of the Board
of Managers does not need to specify the business to be transacted or the purpose of the meeting. 

7.11        Waiver. Whenever any notice is required to be given to a Manager
under the provisions of this Agreement, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the Manager, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance of a Manager at any meeting of the Board
of Managers shall constitute waiver of notice of such meeting by the Manager, except where the Manager attends a meeting for the express purpose of stating its objection to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called
or convened. 
 7.12        Quorum; Attendance by Proxy. 

7.12.1        Attendance by all of the NBM Managers and, for so long
as Jefferies owns the Requisite Percentage, by at least one Jefferies Manager, shall constitute a quorum necessary for the transaction of business at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Managers; provided that where the attendance
of a Jefferies Manager or the NBM Managers is required pursuant to the preceding clause and two consecutive duly-called meetings of the Board of Managers are adjourned due to failure to achieve a quorum as a result of the non-attendance of a Jefferies Manager or the NBM Managers, as applicable, such meeting shall be re-convened again upon two Business Days’ notice to the Managers, and the
presence of a Jefferies Manager or all of the NBM Managers, as applicable, shall not be required to constitute a quorum at such third duly-called meeting. If less than a quorum is present, those Managers present may adjourn the meeting from time to
time until a quorum shall be present. 

  
 31 

 7.12.2        Any
NBM Manager or Jefferies Manager may designate another NBM Manager or Jefferies Manager, respectively, as his or her proxy to attend a Board of Managers meeting (the Manager giving such proxy being a “Proxy Manager”). Any such Proxy
Manager shall be counted as present at such Board of Managers meeting for all purposes under this Agreement, and the vote of such Proxy Manager shall be deemed given by the Manager designated as the receiver of any such proxy as if the Proxy Manager
had himself or herself attended such meeting and cast his or her vote in person. 

7.13        Compensation. Unless otherwise unanimously approved by the Board of
Managers, Managers who are not employees of the Company shall not be compensated for serving as Managers; provided that in the event that a Member designates as a Manager an unrelated third-party (including as to the Member designating such Manager)
to serve as one of its Managers, the Board of Managers may determine to compensate such Manager for serving as a Manager up to an aggregate compensation level not to exceed $100,000 per year. Managers shall be entitled to reimbursement for
reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Managers. 

7.14        Authority of Board of Managers. Subject to the provisions of this
Agreement that require the consent or approval of one or more Members, the Board of Managers shall have the exclusive power and authority to manage the business and affairs of the Company and to make all decisions with respect thereto. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Board of Managers or Persons designated by the Board of Managers, including officers and agents appointed by the Board of Managers, shall be the only Persons authorized to execute documents which
shall be binding on the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by the Act, but subject to any specific provisions hereof granting rights to Members, the Board of Managers shall have the power to perform any acts, statutory or otherwise, with
respect to the Company or this Agreement, which would otherwise be possessed by the Members under the Act, and the Members shall have no power whatsoever with respect to the management of the business and affairs of the Company. All decisions and
other matters concerning the computation and allocation of items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit among the Members, and accounting procedures not specifically and expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall be
determined by the Board of Managers in good faith. Any determination made pursuant to this Section 7.14 by the Board of Managers shall be conclusive and binding on all Members, but subject to written objection and legal
action challenging the decision based on lack of good faith. The power and authority granted to the Board of Managers shall include all those necessary, convenient or incidental for the accomplishment of the purposes of the Company and shall include
the power to make all decisions with regard to the management, operations, assets, financing and capitalization of the Company, including without limitation, the power and authority to undertake and make decisions concerning (in each case subject to
the terms, conditions, and special approval requirement of this Agreement): (a) hiring and firing employees, attorneys, accountants, brokers, investment bankers and other advisors and consultants, (b) entering into leases for real or personal
property, (c) opening bank and other deposit accounts and operations thereunder, (d) purchasing, constructing, improving, developing and maintaining real property, (e) purchasing insurance, goods, supplies, equipment, materials and
other personal property, (f) borrowing money, obtaining credit, issuing notes, debentures, securities, equity or other interests of or in the Company and securing the obligations undertaken in connection therewith with mortgages on, pledges of

 32

portion of the assets of the Company, (m) forming subsidiaries or joint ventures, (n) compromising, arbitrating, adjusting and litigating claims in favor of or against the Company and (o) all other acts or activities necessary,
convenient or incidental for the accomplishment of the purposes of the Company including any and all actions that the Company may take as described in Section 2.6. 

7.15        Reliance by Third Parties. Any person or entity dealing with the
Company or the Members may rely upon a certificate signed by a Manager as to: (a) the identity of the Members, (b) the existence or non-existence of any fact or facts which constitute a condition
precedent to acts by Members or are in any other manner germane to the affairs of the Company, (c) the Persons which are authorized to execute and deliver any instrument or document of or on behalf of the Company, (d) the authorization of
any action by or on behalf of the Company by the Board of Managers or any officer or agent acting on behalf of the Company or (e) any act or failure to act by the Company or as to any other matter whatsoever involving the Company or the
Members.

Sections 6.6 and 7.4.2 no officer shall take any action for which the consent of certain Members is required thereunder; and provided, further, that without the required consent pursuant to
Section 8.10, no officer shall take any action for which consent is required thereunder. 

8.2        Election. Officers may be elected by the Board of Managers at any

authority at the pleasure of the Board of Managers, or the officer by whom he or she was appointed or by the officer who then holds agent appointive power. 
  

  
 33 

 8.4        Chairman of the Board
of Managers, Chief Executive Officer, President and Vice President. The Chairman of the Board of Managers, if any, shall be selected by NBM for so long as NBM remains a Member and shall not be an officer of the Company and shall instead have
such duties and powers as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Managers. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Chief Executive Officer shall have direct and general charge and supervision of all business and
administrative operations of the Company and all other such duties, responsibilities authority and privileges as are set forth in his employment agreement, if any, as amended from time to time, in addition to those duties, responsibilities,

Company’s books and records. 
 9.2        Delivery to Member, Inspection;

written notice to the Board of Managers and during reasonable business hours, to examine the Company’s books and records for such purpose at the Member’s sole cost and expense. A Member requesting such an examination of the Company’s

Section 9.6 and to such reasonable standards as may be established by the Board of Managers from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, information obtained in connection with this

whose Governance Rights have terminated pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof, (b) to any assignee of a Member except to the extent required by the Act, (c) in any event to any Member who is employed by, retained by,
Affiliated with or Controlled by a Competing Business at the time of request or examination, or (d) in the event that the provision of such information gives rise to or would reasonably be expected to give rise to U.S. Securities and Exchange

9.4        Reports. 

(a)        In General. The Chief Financial Officer of the
Company shall be responsible for causing the preparation of financial reports of the Company and the coordination of financial matters of the Company with the Company’s accountants. 

  
 37 

(b)        Periodic and Financial Reports. The Company shall
maintain and provide to each Member upon request, the financial statements listed in clauses (i) and (ii) below, prepared, in each case (other than Capital Contributions, profits and losses and other allocations, distributions and Capital
Accounts with respect to Member’s Capital Accounts, which shall construed, determined and reported to Members in accordance with this Agreement) in accordance with GAAP. 

(i)        As soon as practicable following the end of each Fiscal
Year (and in any event within the time frame required by Jefferies for its reporting processes), an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such Fiscal Year and the related statements of operations and cash flows for such Fiscal
Year. As soon as practicable following the end of each Fiscal Year (and in any event within the time frame required by Jefferies for its reporting processes), a balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such Fiscal Year and the related
statements of operations, Members’ Capital Accounts and changes therein, and cash flows for such Fiscal Year, together with appropriate notes to such financial statements, all of which shall be audited and certified by the Company’s
accountants, and in each case, to the extent the Company was in existence, setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year. 

(ii)        As soon as reasonably practicable following the end of
each of the first three fiscal quarters of each Fiscal Year and following the end of each of the first 11 fiscal months of each Fiscal Year (and in any event within the time frame required by Jefferies for its reporting processes), an unaudited
balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such fiscal quarter or fiscal month, as the case may be, and the related unaudited statements of operations and cash flows for such fiscal quarter or fiscal month, as the case may be, and for the Fiscal
Year to date, in each case, to the extent the Company was in existence, setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the prior Fiscal Year’s fiscal quarter or fiscal month, as the case may be, and the fiscal quarter or fiscal
month, as the case may be, just completed. 

(c)        IFRS. Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall
maintain and provide to each Member upon request (i) such data, and in such format, as may be required to enable the Investor to prepare financial information under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and
(ii) a reconciliation between GAAP and IFRS. The Company shall, upon request of any NBM Manager, prepare or cause to be prepared annual and quarterly financial statements in accordance with IFRS. 

(d)        Other Reports. The Board of Managers shall cause to
be delivered promptly to Members such other information that is customarily provided the shareholders or members, such as reports of adverse developments, management letters, communications with Members of Managers, press releases and registration
statements. 
 9.5        Filings. At the Company’s expense, NBM shall
cause all tax returns required to be filed by the Company to be prepared and timely filed (including extensions) with the appropriate authorities and to have prepared and to furnish to each Member such information with respect to

  
 38 

 
the Company (including without limitation a schedule setting forth such Member’s distributive share of the Company’s income, gain, loss, deduction and credit as determined for federal
income tax purposes) as is necessary to enable such Member to prepare such Member’s federal, state and local income tax returns. NBM, at the Company’s expense, shall also cause to be prepared and timely filed, with appropriate federal and
state regulatory and administrative authorities, all reports required to be filed by the Company with those entities under then current applicable laws, rules and regulations. 

9.6        Non-Disclosure. 

9.6.1        Each Member agrees that, except as otherwise consented to
by the Board of Managers, all non-public information furnished to such Member pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise regarding the Company or its business that is not generally available to the public
(“Confidential Information”) will be kept confidential and will not be used by such Member (or its Affiliates, agents, representatives or employees) in competition with the Company or disclosed by such Member, or by any of such
Member’s agents, representatives or employees, in any manner, in whole or in part, except that (a) each Member shall be permitted to disclose such Confidential Information to those of such Member’s agents, representatives and
employees who need to be familiar with such information in connection with such Member’s investment in the Company and who are charged with an obligation of confidentiality, (b) each Member shall be permitted to disclose such Confidential
Information to such Member’s partners and equity holders so long as they agree to keep such information confidential on the terms set forth herein, (c) each Member shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information to the extent
required by law or rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange on which a Member’s securities are listed or traded, so long as such Member shall have first provided the Company a reasonable opportunity to contest the necessity of
disclosing such information, and (d) each Member shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information to the extent necessary for the enforcement of any right of such Member arising under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
Member (and each employee, representative or other agent of the Member) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or
other tax analyses) that are provided to the Member relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. 

9.6.2        Each Member agrees that it shall be liable for any breach
or violation of the provisions of Section 9.6.1 by any Person to whom such Member provides Confidential Information (other than the Company). The covenants and undertakings contained in
Section 9.6.1 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of Section 9.6.1 will cause irreparable injury to the Company, the
amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of Section 9.6.1 may be inadequate. Therefore, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of any provision of Section 9.6.1 without the
necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond whatsoever. The rights and remedies provided by Section 9.6.1 are cumulative and in 

  
 39 

 
addition to any other rights and remedies which the Company may have hereunder or at law or in equity. 

9.6.3        Each Member is aware that (i) Jefferies is an
“issuer” of securities under United States securities laws and NBM Ultimate Parent is an “issuer” of securities under Brazilian securities laws and (ii) that United States and Brazilian securities laws prohibit any
individual who has received from an issuer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company) any material, non-public information regarding such issuer or any of its Affiliates from purchasing or selling
securities of such issuer or from communicating such information to any other individual under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such individual is likely to purchase or sell securities of such issuer. As a consequence of its
respective investments in the Company, each Member will from time to time receive confidential information concerning the Company that will constitute material, non-public information concerning Jefferies and
NBM Ultimate Parent. Each Member acknowledges this prohibition and agrees to advise its respective Affiliates of this prohibition. 

9.7        Restrictions on Receipt. The rights of Members to receive reports or
to request information pursuant to this Article 9 shall be subject to Section 3.5. 
  

	10.	 TAX MATTERS  

10.1        Tax Matters Member. The provisions of this
Section 10.1 shall apply for and with respect to taxable years ending on or prior to December 31, 2017, and all references to the “Code” herein are as the Code in effect prior to amendment by the Bipartisan
Budget Act of 2015 (and any similar provision under state or local law). 

10.1.1        Jefferies shall designate a qualifying Member to act as
the tax matters partner of the Company (the “Tax Matters Member”) as defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. The Tax Matters Member will represent the Company in any audits, disputes or controversies or proceedings under the
TEFRA Rules; provided, however, that the Tax Matters Member shall keep the Board of Managers informed as to all material developments with respect to such audits, disputes or controversies and shall not have any right to settle or
compromise any such audits, disputes, controversies or proceedings without approval of the Board of Managers. The Tax Matters Member shall (a) furnish to each Member affected by an audit of Company income tax returns a copy of each notice or
other communication received from the IRS or applicable state authority and (b) keep such Members informed of any administrative or judicial proceeding, as required by Section 6223(g) of the Code. 

10.1.2        The Company shall not be obligated to pay any fees or
other compensation to the Tax Matters Member in its capacity as such. However, the Company shall reimburse the reasonable expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ and other reasonable outside professional fees, and allocated overhead
and internal costs) incurred by the Tax Matters Member in such capacity. The cost of any resulting audits or adjustments of a Member’s tax return shall be borne solely by the affected Member. 

  
 40 

 10.1.3        The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Tax Matters Member from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) sustained or incurred as a result of any act or decision
concerning Company tax matters and within the scope of such Member’s responsibilities as Tax Matters Member, so long as such act or decision was not the result of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by the Tax Matters Member. The Tax
Matters Member shall be entitled to rely on the advice of outside legal counsel and accountants as to the nature and scope of its responsibilities and authority as Tax Matters Member, and any act or omission of the Tax Matters Member pursuant to
such advice in no event shall subject the Tax Matters Member to liability to the Company or any Member, unless such act or omission pursuant to such advice is as a result of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by the Tax Matters Member.

 10.2        Partnership Representative. The provisions of this
Section 10.2 shall apply for and with respect to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and all references to the “Code” herein are as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (or any successor
thereto and any similar provision under state or local law). 

10.2.1        Partnership Representative. NBM (or, if NBM no
longer has the right to designate a majority of the Managers, the Board of Managers) shall designate the Company’s partnership representative (the “Partnership Representative”) under Section 6223 of the Code (which may be NBM
or any other person designated by NBM or the Board of Managers, as applicable). Each Member hereby consents to such designation and agrees that, upon the request of NBM, it will execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at
the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent. The Partnership Representative shall be promptly reimbursed for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ and
other reasonable outside professional fees, and allocated overhead and internal costs) incurred by it in connection with service as Partnership Representative (as applicable) to the extent such reimbursement is not prohibited by applicable law.
Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict NBM from causing the Company to engage an accounting firm or legal counsel to assist the Partnership Representative in discharging its duties hereunder. The Partnership Representative will represent the
Company in any audits, disputes, controversies or proceedings under the Partnership Tax Audit Rules; provided, however, that the Partnership Representative shall keep the Board of Managers informed as to all material developments with
respect to such audits, disputes or controversies and shall not have any right to settle or compromise any such audits, disputes, controversies or proceedings without approval of the Board of Managers. The Company and the Partnership Representative
shall keep the Members informed of any inquiries, audits, other proceedings or tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be assessed (of which the Company or Partnership Representative is actually aware) by any taxing authority against the Company or
the Members. 
 10.2.2        Election Out of Partnership Audit
Procedures. So long as the Company satisfies the provisions of Sections 6221(b)(1)(B) through (D), the Partnership Representative, with the approval of the Board of Managers, may cause the Company to make the election set forth in
Section 6221(b)(1) of the Code so that the Partnership Tax 

  
 41 

 
Audit Rules shall not apply to the Company. If such election is made, the Partnership Representative shall provide the proper notice to each Member in accordance with Section 6221(b)(1)(E).

 10.2.3        Partnership Level Assessments. Provided the
election described in Section 10.2.2 is not in effect, in the case of any adjustment by the IRS in the amount of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the Company or any Member’s distributive share
thereof (“IRS Adjustment”), the Partnership Representative, acting at the direction of NBM or the Board of Managers, as applicable, shall respond to such IRS Adjustment in accordance with either 10.2.3(a) or (b). 

(a)        In accordance with Section 6225 of the Code, the
Partnership Representative may cause the Company to pay any Imputed Tax Underpayment imposed in the Adjustment Year. The Partnership Representative shall use reasonable efforts to pursue available procedures to reduce any Imputed Tax Underpayment on
account of any Member’s tax status. 

(b)        Alternatively, the Partnership Representative may elect
under Section 6226 of the Code to cause the Company to issue adjusted IRS Schedules “K-1” (or such other form as applicable) reflecting a Member’s shares of any IRS Adjustment for the
Adjustment Year. 
 (c)        In connection with any decision by
the Partnership Representative, acting at the direction of the Board of Managers, regarding whether to make the election described in Section 6226 of the Code pursuant to this Section 10.2.3(b), the Partnership Representative shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to take into consideration the relative costs and the tax consequences to the Company and the Members of making or not making such election. If the Partnership Representative determines not to make the election
described in Section 6226 of the Code, the Partnership Representative will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take into account the tax status of each Member, when determining the amount of the Company’s Imputed Tax
Underpayment that is attributable to each Member, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and (ii) allocate such amount in such manner that no Member will bear the economic burden of any Imputed Tax Underpayment that is not attributable to
such Member to the extent practicable. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take into account amended tax returns timely filed by each Member, as described in
Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and the Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to each Member, in a timely manner and to the extent reasonably available to the
Partnership Representative, such information as such Member may reasonably request to prepare such amended tax returns to the extent practicable. 

(d)        Each Member agrees to (i) treat each item of income,
gain, loss, deduction, or credit attributable to the Company in a manner which is consistent with the treatment of such item on the tax returns of the Company and (ii) provide the Company and the Partnership Representative with any information,
documentation, or certification that the Company or Partnership Representative reasonably requests in connection with an audit, 

  
 42 

 
dispute, controversy or other tax proceeding relating to the Company, including any information or certifications that may be necessary for the Partnership Representative to reduce Imputed Tax
Underpayment or make an election under Section 6226 of the Code. 

10.2.4        Indemnification for Partnership Adjustments. Each
Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Board of Managers, the Partnership Representative (including NBM in its capacity as such) or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, managers, members and, as determined by the Board of Managers in its sole and absolute discretion, consultants or agents, from and against any liability, cost, penalty, interest or expense (including, but not limited to, legal and
accounting fees) with respect to any Imputed Tax Underpayment or other IRS Adjustment, regardless of whether such Member is a Member of the Company in an Adjustment Year, with such proportionate share as reasonably determined by the Board of
Managers, including the Board of Managers’ reasonable discretion, based on each Member’s interest in the Company in the Reviewed Year, each Member’s tax status and a Member’s timely provision of information necessary to reduce
the amount of Imputed Tax Underpayment set forth in Section 6225(c) of the Code. A Member’s reimbursement obligation pursuant to this Section 10.2.4 shall be effected, at the sole option of NBM or such other
indemnified person, either by (i) the Member’s immediate payment in cash to the Company or such other indemnified person and/or (ii) the Company’s retention of amounts of distributable cash that would otherwise be distributable
to such Member (any amount so retained shall be treated as distributed to such Member for purposes of Section 5.2) and/or (iii) the Company’s making of the relevant payment on behalf of such Member (any amount so
paid, together with any costs and expenses incurred by the Company in relation to such payment, to be repaid by reducing the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions that would otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such
distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by reimbursement by such Member). NBM and the Company will be entitled to take any other action determined to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any obligation or possible obligation to
impose withholding pursuant to any tax law or to pay any tax with respect to a Member. 

10.2.5        The obligations under this
Section 10.2 shall survive a Member’s ceasing to be a Member of the Company and/or the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company. 

10.3        Tax Returns. Unless otherwise agreed by the Board of Managers, all
returns of the Company shall be prepared by the Company’s independent certified tax accountants under the direction of the Board of Managers, with such returns being prepared consistent with past practice except to the extent otherwise required
by applicable law. 
 10.4        Tax Elections. Subject to
Section 7.4.2, NBM shall, without any further consent of the Members being required (except as specifically required herein), cause the Company to make any and all elections for federal, state, local, and foreign tax
purposes including, without limitation, any election, if permitted by applicable law: (i) to make the election provided for in Code Section 6231(a)(1)(B)(ii) (prior to amendment under to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015) or take any other
action necessary to cause the provisions of Code Sections 6221 through 6231 (as amended 

  
 43 

 
by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015) to apply to the Company (ii) to take any action necessary or appropriate to continue the election made by the Company pursuant to Code Section 754
as in effect on the Effective Date, including making a new or a protective Section 754 election, to ensure that such Section 754 election is and remains effective and that the Section 754 election is not revoked without the consent of
all Members, and to adjust the basis of Property pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) and 743(b), or comparable provisions of state, local or foreign law, in connection with Transfers of Interests and Company distributions; (iii) to extend the
statute of limitations for assessment of tax deficiencies against the Members with respect to adjustments to the Company’s federal, state, local or foreign tax returns; and (iv) acting at the direction of the Board of Managers, and keeping
the Board of Managers informed as to all material developments with respect thereto, to represent the Company and the Members before taxing authorities or courts of competent jurisdiction in tax matters affecting the Company or the Members in their
capacities as Members (other than those matters described in Sections 10.1 and 10.2 that are represented by the Tax Matters Member or the Partnership Representative, as applicable), and to file any tax returns and execute any
agreements or other documents relating to or affecting such tax matters, including agreements or other documents that bind the Members with respect to such tax matters or otherwise affect the rights of the Company and the Members. 

10.5        Tax Information. Necessary tax information shall be delivered to
each Member as soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Company but not later than 5 months after the end of each Fiscal Year.

 44 

 11.2        Permitted
Transferees. Subject to Sections 11.3 and 11.4, a Member shall be entitled to Transfer all or any portion of such Member’s Units to a direct or indirect Subsidiary of such Member; provided that
(a) NBM and NBM Ultimate Parent shall also be permitted to Transfer its Units to another Subsidiary of NBM Ultimate Parent, and (b) Jefferies shall also be permitted to Transfer its Units to another Subsidiary of Jefferies (each such
Subsidiary is referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee”). In no event shall all or any part of a Unit be Transferred to a minor or incompetent except in trust or pursuant to the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act. 

11.3        Transfer Requirements. No Person to whom any of a Member’s
Units are Transferred (including a Permitted Transferee) shall be admitted to the Company as a Member (as limited under certain circumstances in accordance with Section 11.8) unless the following conditions are satisfied or
such conditions are waived by the Board of Managers: 
 (a)        a
duly executed written instrument of Transfer is provided to the Board of Managers, specifying the Units being Transferred and setting forth the intention of the Member effecting the Transfer that the transferee succeed to a portion or all of such
Member’s Units; 
 (b)        an opinion of responsible counsel
(who may be counsel for the Company), reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Board of Managers to the effect that: 

(i)        such Transfer would not violate the Securities Act or any
state securities or blue sky laws applicable to the Company or the Interest to be Transferred; 

(ii)        such Transfer would not cause the Company to be
considered a publicly traded partnership under Section 7704(b) of the Code; and 

(iii)        such Transfer would not cause the Company to lose its
status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes; and 

(c)        the transferee provides a statement, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Managers, certifying that it has complied with its withholding obligations under Section 1446(f) of the Code (including having obtained an executed affidavit described in Section 1446(f)(2) of the
Code from the Member effecting the Transfer, if applicable); 

(d)        the Member effecting the Transfer and the transferee, as
applicable, execute and deliver to the Board of Managers a joinder hereto, a special power of attorney as provided in Section 18.3 and any other instruments reasonably necessary to evidence acceptance by the transferee of
this Agreement and such transferee’s agreement to be bound by and comply with the provisions hereof; and 

(e)        the Member effecting the Transfer or the transferee pays to
the Company a transfer fee in an amount sufficient to cover the reasonable expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the admission of the transferee. 

  
 45 

 11.4        Consent. Subject
to Section 11.8, each Member hereby agrees that upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Article 11 with respect to any proposed Transfer, the Person proposed to be such transferee may
be admitted as a Member. 
 11.5        Withdrawal of Member. If a Member
Transfers all of its Units pursuant to Section 11.1 and the transferee of such interest is admitted as a Member pursuant to Section 11.3 (whether or not such Member’s status is limited
pursuant to Section 11.8), such transferee shall be admitted to the Company as a Member effective on the effective date of the Transfer or such other date as may be specified when the transferee is admitted and, immediately
following such admission, the transferor Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company. Upon the transferor Member’s withdrawal from the Company, the withdrawing Member shall not be entitled to any Distributions, or any other rights
associated with an Interest in the Company, from and after the date of such withdrawal or Transfer. 

11.6        Noncomplying Transfers Void. Any Transfer in contravention of this
Article 11 shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect, and shall not bind nor be recognized by the Company. 

11.7        Amendment of Exhibit A. In the event of the admission of any
transferee as a Member of the Company, the Board of Managers shall promptly amend Exhibit A to reflect such Transfer or admission, as the case may be, and it shall deliver promptly to each Member a copy of such amended Exhibit A. 

11.8        Limited Interests. If the Interests with respect to Units held by a
Member have been limited as required by Section 3.5 and such Member shall wish to Transfer, or shall have Transferred, Units in accordance with this Article 11, the limitations imposed by
Section 3.5 on such Interests shall be removed only with the consent of the Board of Managers. 

11.9        Permitted Financing Pledge. The Units owned by NBM or its Permitted
Transferee and all associated rights and powers may be pledged or assigned to any lender or lenders (or an agent therefor) in a Permitted Financing Pledge as collateral for the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of NBM or such Permitted
Transferee to such lender or lenders, and any such pledged or assigned Units and all associated rights and powers shall be subject to such lender’s or lenders’ (or agent’s) rights under any collateral documentation governing or
pertaining to the Permitted Financing Pledge. The Permitted Financing Pledge shall not, except as otherwise may result due to an exercise of rights and remedies under such collateral documentation, cause NBM or its Permitted Transferee to cease to
be a Member or to have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Member and, except as provided in such collateral documentation, such lender or lenders (and agent therefor) shall not have any liability solely as a result of such Permitted
Financing Pledge. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right of such lender or lenders (or an agent therefor) to enforce and exercise their rights and remedies under such collateral documentation is hereby acknowledged and, subject
to compliance with the terms and conditions of Section 11.3 of this Agreement, any such action taken in accordance therewith shall be valid and effective for all purposes under this Agreement, the Certificate (in each case,
regardless of any restrictions or procedures otherwise herein or therein contained) and applicable law (including the Act), and any Transfer of the Units to or by such lender or lenders (or an agent therefor) pursuant to any such collateral
documentation in connection with the exercise of any such lender’s or lenders’ or agent’s 

  
 46 

 
rights under the Permitted Financing Pledge shall be valid and effective for all purposes, including, without limitation, under Sections 18-702 and 18-704 of the Act, this Agreement, the Certificate and other applicable law, to transfer all right, title and interest (including all rights, powers, liabilities and obligations) of NBM or its Permitted Transferee
to itself or themselves or its or their owned and controlled designee or any other Person (each an “Assignee”) in accordance with such collateral documentation, the terms and conditions of Section 11.3 of
this Agreement and applicable law, and such Assignee shall (without further requirements or restrictions, including under any other section of Articles 11, 12 and 13 hereof) be a Member of the Company with all rights, powers,
liabilities and obligations that NBM or its Permitted Transferee enjoyed or was subject to prior to its exercise of its rights under the Permitted Financing Pledge collateral documents (and, where applicable, as a “member” under the Act);
provided that all Transfers of such Units after the Transfer in which the Assignee became a Member pursuant to the exercise of the Permitted Financing Pledge collateral documents shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. 
 11.10        Member Bankruptcy Events. Any Member, or any
assignee who becomes a Member, shall not cease to be a Member upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 18-304 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (with respect to such
Member) and shall continue to be a Member until such time as such Member’s Units are effectively Transferred. 
  

	12.	 RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER; TAG-ALONG RIGHTS; LIQUIDITY OPTION

 12.1        Right of First Offer. 

12.1.1        Following the Lock Up Period, if any Member (for
purposes of this Section 12.1, the “Selling Member”), wishes to Transfer all or any portion of its Units, whether on its own initiative or in response to a bona fide offer from any Person, such Selling
Member shall give written notice (the “Notice of Sale”) to NBM (if NBM is not the Selling Member) and Jefferies (if Jefferies is not the Selling Member), with a copy in each case to the other Members, of the Units subject to such
proposed Transfer (the “Offered Units”). 

12.1.2        NBM or Jefferies shall have 20 Business Days to evaluate
the Offered Units and to make an irrevocable written offer to the Selling Member to purchase all and not less than all of the Offered Units at a specified price. The Selling Member may elect to accept any offer made by NBM or Jefferies, to reject
any offer made by either of them; provided that it may not sell to NBM or Jefferies if the offer of the other is for better terms, or the Selling Member may seek a third party offer. 

12.1.3        If the Selling Member seeks a third party offer, it
shall have 120 days from the time of the delivery of the Notice of Sale to enter into a definitive binding agreement, subject only to required regulatory approvals, with a third party buyer for the Offered Units. The Selling Member may only sell the
Offered Units to a third party for a price greater than the higher price offered by NBM or Jefferies (as applicable), and under terms and conditions (payment conditions, representations, warranties, indemnities and

  
 47 

 
holdback/ escrow) not more beneficial to such third party than those terms and conditions offered to NBM or Jefferies (as applicable). 

12.1.4        If the Selling Member does not enter into a definitive
agreement to sell the Offered Units prior to the expiration of such 120 day period, or changes the amount of Offered Units it intends to sell, it must again comply with the notice and offer requirements of this Section 12.1
prior to offering the Offered Units to any third party. 
 12.2        Rights of
First Refusal. 
 12.2.1        In the event that the Right of
First Offer set forth in Section 12.1 is not exercised, and (a) any Minority Member wishes to Transfer all or any portion of its Units to a Similar Competitor, or (b) NBM wishes to Transfer all or any portion of
its Units to an Insufficient Rated Party (in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b)), whether on its own initiative or in response to a bona fide offer from any Person, to any Person, (for purposes of this
Section 12.2, such Transferring Member being the “Selling Member”), the Selling Member, in addition to complying with Section 12.1, shall give written notice (the “ROFR
Notice of Sale”) to NBM (if NBM is not the Selling Member) and/or Jefferies (if Jefferies is not the Selling Member), with a copy in each case to the other Members, of the price and other terms and conditions of such sale for the Units (the
“ROFR Offered Units”) to a third party, and the name and address of the proposed transferee (if applicable). The receipt of the ROFR Notice of Sale by NBM or Jefferies, as applicable (the “ROFR Offerees”), shall
constitute an offer by the Selling Member to sell the Offered Units to the ROFR Offerees. Such offer, unless revoked by written notice given by the Selling Member to the ROFR Offerees prior to acceptance by ROFR Offerees shall remain outstanding for
a period of 20 Business Days after receipt of the ROFR Notice of Sale by ROFR Offerees (the “ROFR Offer Period”). The ROFR Offeree may accept such offer as to all of the ROFR Offered Units by giving written notice to the
Selling Member (with a copy to the other Members) (a “ROFR Notice of Purchase”) of its intention to purchase such Offered Units at the same price and on the same terms specified in the ROFR Notice of Sale. If the Selling Member is
Jefferies or a Permitted Transferee of Jefferies, the proposed transferee is a Similar Competitor and NBM does not exercise its right of first refusal under this Section 12.2.1, the transferee will not assume
Jefferies’s right to approve any of the matters set out on Exhibit B pursuant to Section 7.4.2. 

12.2.2        Closing. If the ROFR Offeree gives a ROFR Notice
of Purchase for the ROFR Offered Units pursuant to this Section 12.2, the closing of the purchase by ROFR Offeree of the ROFR Offered Units shall take place as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than 60
days after the date of such ROFR Notice of Purchase or such longer period of time as may be required to obtain final regulatory approval, which the ROFR Offeree and the Selling Member agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other time and location as the parties to such purchase may mutually determine at the same price and on terms identical in all material respects to the terms as specified in the ROFR Notice
of Sale. 
  

  
 48 

12.2.3        Transfer. If, at the close of the ROFR Offer
Period, the ROFR Offeree has not given a ROFR Notice of Purchase for all of the Offered Units, or if payment therefor has not been made within 60 days (or such longer period of time as authorized under Section 12.2.2) after
receipt of the ROFR Notice of Purchase (or such longer period as authorized under Section 12.2.2) from the ROFR Offeree, the Selling Member shall have 90 days (the conclusion of such period, the “ROFR Final Transfer
Date”) in which to Transfer the ROFR Offered Units to the purchaser specified in the ROFR Notice of Sale, if one was specified, at a price not less than 100% of the price specified in the ROFR Notice of Sale and on terms and conditions not
materially more favorable to the transferee than the terms and conditions specified in the ROFR Notice of Sale. If the Selling Member is NBM or a Permitted Transferee of NBM, and the purchaser specified in the ROFR Notice of Sale is rated BB or
above by S&P or Ba2 by Moody’s, then the Guarantees shall terminate with respect to such Units being sold and be of no further force or effect with respect to such Units being sold following completion of such sale. 

12.2.4        New Notice of Sale Required if Reduction in
Price. If (a) after the close of the ROFR Offer Period and prior to the consummation of the Transfer permitted by Section 12.2.3, the Selling Member wishes to Transfer the ROFR Offered Units at a price that is
lower than 100% of the price stated in the ROFR Notice of Sale or on terms and conditions materially more favorable to the transferee than the price and other terms and conditions contained in the ROFR Notice of Sale or the identity of the proposed
transferee shall change, or (b) the Selling Member shall not have completed the proposed Transfer on or before the ROFR Final Transfer Date, then the ROFR Notice of Sale shall be null and void, and the Selling Member shall be required to
separately comply with the provisions of this Section 12.2 (including re-offering the ROFR Offered Units to ROFR Offeree on such new terms and conditions, if applicable.) 

12.2.5    Remain Subject. Units transferred pursuant to this
Section 12.2 shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement (including this Section 12.2), and such Transfers shall be subject to Section 11.3. 

12.2.6    Right to Delegate. ROFR Offeree shall have the right to delegate all or
part of its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 12.1 to any Permitted Transferee or to the Company; provided, however, that in the event that after any such delegation from ROFR Offeree to such
Permitted Transferee or the Company, such Permitted Transferee or the Company fails to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.1, ROFR Offeree shall be responsible to perform
and complete such Permitted Transferee’s or the Company’s obligations contained in this Section 12.2. 

12.3    Tag-Along Rights. 

12.3.1    Tag-Along Right. In the event of
a Transfer by NBM (or its Permitted Transferees) (a “Tag-Along Sale”) to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee (for purposes of this Section 12.3, the
“Proposed Transferee”), each Member other than the Member initiating such Tag-Along Sale (such Member for the purposes of this Section 12.3, the “Initiating
Seller”) shall have the right (the “Tag-Along Right”, and each Member electing to exercise its Tag-Along Right, a “Selling
Member”) to include in the 

  
 49 

 
Tag-Along Sale a number of Units equal to such Selling Member’s Sale Percentage multiplied by the total number of Units proposed to be Transferred by
the Initiating Seller as set forth in the Notice of Proposed Sale. Any Units purchased from a Selling Member pursuant to this Section 12.3 shall be purchased at the same price per Unit and for the same form of
consideration, and shall be purchased on the same terms and conditions, as the Units being transferred by the Initiating Seller. 

12.3.2        Notice of Proposed Sale. The Initiating Seller
shall, not less than 30 days prior to a proposed Tag-Along Sale to which Section 12.3.1 is applicable, give written notice to each other Member of such proposed Tag-Along Sale. Such notice (the “Notice of Proposed Sale”) shall set forth: (a) the number of Units proposed to be Transferred, (b) the name and address of the Proposed Transferee,
(c) the maximum and minimum per Unit purchase price or, if not in cash, proposed consideration and the other principal terms and conditions of the proposed Tag-Along Sale, (d) that the Proposed
Transferee has been informed of the Tag-Along Right provided for in Section 12.3.1 and has agreed to purchase Units in accordance with the terms of this
Section 12.3 and (e) that the Initiating Seller has agreed to consummate the Tag-Along Sale, subject only to any required regulatory approvals, this
Section 12.3 and Article 11 of this Agreement. 

12.3.3        Exercise of Tag Along Right. The Tag-Along Right may be exercised by a Selling Member by giving written notice to the Initiating Seller (the “Tag-Along Notice”) within 15 days following such
Selling Member’s receipt of the Notice of Proposed Sale (the “Tag-Along Period”). Each Member who does not deliver a Tag-Along Notice to the
Initiating Seller within the Tag-Along Period shall be deemed to have waived all of such Member’s rights under this Section 12.3 with respect to inclusion of such Member’s
Units in such proposed Tag-Along Sale, and the Initiating Seller, subject to the participation of the Selling Members, if any, shall have the right, for a 180- day
period after the expiration of the Tag-Along Period (or for such longer period of time as may be required to obtain any final regulatory approvals, which the Initiating Seller agrees to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain) to Transfer the Units specified in the Notice of Proposed Sale to the Proposed Transferee at a per Unit purchase price no greater than the maximum (and no less than the minimum) per Unit purchase price set forth in the
Notice of Proposed Sale and on other principal terms that are not materially more favorable to the Initiating Seller and the Selling Members than those set forth in the Notice of Proposed Sale. 

12.3.4        Irrevocable Offer. The offer of each Selling
Member contained in such Selling Member’s Tag-Along Notice shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, such Selling Member shall be bound and obligated to Transfer in the proposed Tag-Along Sale on the same terms and conditions, as the Initiating Seller, up to such amount of Units as such Selling Member shall have specified in such Selling Members
Tag-Along Notice; provided, however, that (a) if the principal terms of the proposed sale change with the result that the per Unit purchase price shall be less than the minimum per Unit
purchase price set forth in the Notice of Proposed Sale to Members or the other principal terms shall be materially less favorable to the Initiating Seller and the Selling Members than those set forth in the Notice of Proposed Sale to Members, each
Selling Member shall be permitted to withdraw the offer contained in such Selling Members Tag-

  
 50 

 
Along Notice and shall be released from such Selling Member’s obligations thereunder, and (b) if at the end of the 180th day following the date of the effectiveness of the Notice of
Proposed Sale (or for such longer period of time as may be required to obtain any final regulatory approvals, which the Initiating Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain) the Initiating Seller has not completed the
proposed Tag-Along Sale, each Selling Member shall be released from the obligations under such Member’s respective Tag-Along Notice, any related Notice of Proposed
Sale shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for separate such notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 12.3 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 12.3. 

12.3.5        Additional Compliance. If, prior to consummation,
the terms of the proposed Tag-Along Sale shall change with the result that the per Unit purchase price shall be greater than the maximum per Unit purchase price set forth in any Notice of Proposed Sale or the
other principal terms shall be materially more favorable to the Initiating Seller and the Selling Members than those set forth in such Notice of Proposed Sale, then, unless all Members have exercised their
Tag-Along Rights, such Notice of Proposed Sale shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate such Notice of Proposed Sale to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this
Section 12.3 separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 12.3. 

12.4        Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall be applied to any
Transfer to which Section 12.1, 12.2 or 12.3 applies: 

12.4.1        Consideration. In the event the consideration to
be paid in exchange for the Units in the proposed sale pursuant to Section 12.1, 12.2 or 12.3 includes any securities and the receipt thereof by any Selling Member would require under applicable law
(a) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (b) the provision to any Selling Member of any information other than such information as a prudent
issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to Accredited Investors, the Initiating Seller shall be obligated only to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such requirements to be complied with to the extent necessary to
permit such Selling Member to receive such securities, it being understood and agreed that the Initiating Seller shall not be under any obligation to effect a registration of such securities under the Securities Act or similar statutes.
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 12.4, if use of commercially reasonable efforts by the Initiating Seller shall not have resulted in such requirements being complied with to the extent necessary to permit such
Selling Member to receive such securities, or if regulatory restrictions prevent a Selling Member from holding such securities and the Initiating Seller, after using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to structure the transaction in a way
that meets such regulatory requirements, the Initiating Seller shall cause to be paid to such Selling Member in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Interest which would have otherwise been sold by such Selling Member to the Proposed Transferee in
the sale, an amount in cash equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Managers in good faith) of the securities which such Selling Member would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for
Members’ Units. The obligation of the Initiating Seller to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such 

  
 51 

 
requirements to have been complied with to the extent necessary to permit a Selling Member to receive such securities shall be conditioned on such Selling Member executing such documents and
instruments, and taking such other actions (including without limitation, if required by the Initiating Seller, agreeing to be represented during the course of such transaction by a “purchaser representative” (as defined in Regulation D)
in connection with evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment and acknowledging that such Selling Member was so represented), as the Initiating Seller shall reasonably request in order to permit such requirements to be complied
with. Unless the Selling Member in question shall have taken all actions reasonably requested by the Initiating Seller in order to comply with the requirements under Regulation D, such Selling Member shall not have the right to require the payment
of cash in lieu of securities under this Section 12.4.1. 

12.4.2        Cooperation. Each Selling Member in a sale
pursuant to Section 12.1, 12.2, or 12.3, as the case may be, whether in its capacity as such or as a Member, member of the Board of Managers, officer or agent of the Company, or otherwise, shall to the fullest
extent permitted by law take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be reasonably requested in order expeditiously to consummate each sale pursuant to Section 12.1, 12.2 or 12.3 hereof and any related
transactions, including, without limitation, executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; furnishing information and copies of documents; filing applications, reports, returns, filings
and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and otherwise cooperating with the Initiating Seller and the Proposed Transferee; provided, however, that the Selling Members shall be obligated to become liable
(severally and not jointly) in respect of any representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or otherwise to the Proposed Transferee solely to the extent provided in the immediately following sentence, and not to any non-compete or non-solicit or strategic covenant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Selling Member agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be
reasonably specified by the Initiating Seller to which the Initiating Seller will also be party, including, without limitation, agreements to (a) make individual representations as to the title to its Interest and the power, authority and legal
right to transfer such Interest to the extent such agreements are also made by the Initiating Seller and (b) be liable in respect of any purchase price escrow or adjustment provisions or reduction in purchase price as may apply to Members
generally resulting from representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in respect of the Company to the extent that the Initiating Seller is also liable; provided, however, that, (i) except with respect to individual
representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of holders of Units, the aggregate amount of such liability shall not exceed the lesser of (a) such Selling Member’s pro rata portion of any such liability, in
accordance with such Selling Member’s portion of the total value of Interests included in the sale or (b) the proceeds to such Selling Member as a result of such sale and (ii) with respect to individual representations, warranties,
covenants, indemnities and other agreements of holders of Interests, the aggregate amount of such liability shall not exceed the proceeds to such Selling Member as a result of such sale. 

12.4.3        Closing. The closing of a sale pursuant to
Section 12.1, 12.2 or 12.3 shall take place at such time and place as the Initiating Seller shall specify by reasonable 

  
 52 

 
advance notice to each Selling Member. It is understood and agreed that the Initiating Seller shall not have any liability to any other Member arising from, relating to or in connection with any
proposed transaction which has been the subject of a Tag-Along Notice, whether or not such proposed transaction is consummated, other than liability for breach of the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

 12.4.4        Remain Subject. Units transferred pursuant
to Sections 12.1, 12.2 or 12.3 shall remain subject to the provisions of this Agreement. 

12.5        Liquidity Options. 

12.5.1        Put. 

(a)        Put Notice. Each Minority Member (including for the
purposes of this Section 12.5, their respective Permitted Transferees that have become Members) may, by giving written notice (the “Put Notice”) to NBM at any time during a Put Election Period, elect to
sell to NBM up to the (x) Put Fraction multiplied by (y) Put Base Amount of such Member (each such Member delivering a Put Notice, for purposes of this Section 12.5, a “Putting Member”, and
the number of Units specified in a Put Notice shall be the “Put Units”). All Put Units referred to in a Put Notice shall be valued at Fair Value as determined pursuant to Section 12.5.3. Putting Members
with respect to a particular Put Date are referred to herein as the “Put Member(s)”. By delivering a Put Notice, the Putting Member is, subject to Section 12.5.3(e), irrevocably committing to sell to NBM
(or the Company, as provided in Section 12.4.2 below) the Put Units specified in the Put Notice. Each Member hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of any Put Notice delivered in accordance with this Agreement. 

(b)        Put Period. 

(i)        Each Putting Member (together with its respective
Permitted Transferees that have become Members) shall be eligible to deliver a Put Notice in accordance with Section 12.5.1(a) (A) during the period commencing on January 1, 2023, and ending on January 31, 2023, and
thereafter, annually during each January thereafter (the “Annual Trigger”) and (B) to the extent NBM remains a Member, if a NBM Change of Control occurs, within 60 days of the NBM Change of Control (the “COC
Trigger”); provided, however, that upon delivery of notice to the Minority Members that a lender or the agent holding a Permitted Financing Pledge intend to exercise remedies thereunder that will result in an NBM Change of
Control (such notice being an “Enforcement Notice”), each Putting Member (together with its respective Permitted Transferees that have become Members) shall instead be required to deliver a Put Notice in accordance with
Section 12.5.1(a) within ten Business Days after the date of the Enforcement Notice and any failure to deliver such Put Notice within such ten Business Day period shall be deemed a waiver of the put rights of the Putting Members and their
Permitted Transferees pursuant to this Section 12.5.1(b)(i)(B) (it being acknowledged that nothing in this Section shall require any holder of a Permitted Financing Pledge to deliver any Enforcement Notice).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, 

  
 53 

 
(1) no Putting Member may provide a Put Notice pursuant to this Section 12.5.1 with respect to less than 20% of such Putting Member’s Put Base Amount, and
(2) if NBM or its Permitted Transferee has notified the Putting Members and their respective Permitted Transferees that such Person has, in good faith, taken steps to sell the Company, the applicable Put Election Period shall be tolled for a
period not to exceed 120 days to permit such Person to implement such sale. 

(ii)        With respect to USPB, USPB shall also have the right to
deliver a Put Notice to NBM at any time during the period commencing on the date on which USPB is no longer obligated to deliver cattle to the Company pursuant to the Cattle Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Cattle Agreement
Trigger”) and ending 180 days thereafter. With respect to New Kleinco, New Kleinco shall also have the right to deliver a Put Notice to NBM at any time during the period commencing on the date on which Klein is no longer employed by the
Company (the “Klein Separation Trigger”) and ending 180 days thereafter. Any Trigger is individually referred to herein as a “Put Date” and are collectively referred to here as the “Put Dates.” The
applicable period beginning on each Put Date shall be referred to as a “Put Election Period”; provided that if NBM or its Permitted Transferee has notified USPB, NBPCo and New Kleinco and their respective Permitted
Transferees that such Person has, in good faith, taken steps to sell the Company, the applicable Put Election Period shall be tolled for a period not to exceed 120 days to permit such Person to implement such sale. 

12.5.2        Call. 

(a)        Call Notice. NBM (including, for the purposes of
this Section 12.5, its Permitted Transferees that have become Members) may, upon the occurrence of a Klein Separation Trigger or the Cattle Agreement Trigger, by giving written notice (the “Call Notice”) to
each of USPB or New Kleinco, as applicable, (including for purposes of this Section 12.5, their respective Permitted Transferees that have become Members) following the occurrence of either such Trigger, elect to purchase
from New Kleinco or USPB, respectively, all or any portion of the Units held by New Kleinco or USPB, respectively, specified in the Call Notice (each such Member to which NBM delivers a Call Notice, for purposes of this
Section 12.5, a “Call Member”, and the Units identified in a Call Notice with respect to a particular Member shall be referred to as “Call Units”). All Call Units referred to in a Call
Notice shall be valued at Fair Value as determined pursuant to Section 12.5.3. By delivering a Call Notice, NBM is irrevocably committing to purchase the Call Units from the Call Member. Each Member hereby agrees to be
bound by the terms of any Call Notice delivered in accordance with this Agreement. 

(b)        Call Period. NBM shall be eligible to deliver a Call
Notice in accordance with Section 12.5.2(a) with respect to all or any portion of the Units held by such Member (i) in the case of USPB, at any time (A) during the period commencing on the date of the Cattle
Agreement Trigger and ending 180 days thereafter and (B) during the period commencing on the date USPB owns less than 20% of USPB’s Aggregate Units and ending 180 days thereafter, and (ii) in the case of New Kleinco, at any time
during the period commencing on the date of the Klein Separation Trigger and ending 180 days thereafter. 

  
 54 

 
The beginning dates of such periods are individually referred to herein as a “Call Date” and are collectively referred to here as the “Call Dates.” The 180-day periods beginning on the Call Dates shall be referred to as a “Call Election Period”; provided that if NBM or its Permitted Transferee has notified USPB and New Kleinco and their
respective Permitted Transferees that such Person has, in good faith, taken steps to sell the Company, the applicable Call Election Period shall be tolled for a period not to exceed 120 days to permit NBM to implement such sale. 

12.5.3        Determination of Fair Value; Appraisal. 

(a)        The Fair Value of the Put/Call Units shall be as of the
applicable Put/Call Date, which shall be determined by agreement between NBM, on the one hand, and the Put/Call Member(s) on the other hand, if such agreement can be reached within ten Business Days after the delivery of the Put Notice or Call
Notice, as the case may be. 
 (b)        If NBM and the Put/Call
Member(s) are unable to agree on the Fair Value of the Put/Call Units as of the applicable Put/Call Date within such period, NBM and Jefferies or, if (i) USPB is a Putting Member or a Call Member and (ii) Jefferies is not a Putting Member,
USPB will each designate an investment bank from the list of advisors identified in the letter agreement, dated as of June 5, 2018, among NBM and the Minority Members (each, a “Valuator”) to determine their estimate of the Fair
Value of the Put/Call Units as of the applicable Put/Call Date, such estimate of Fair Value to be delivered by each Valuator no later than 30 Business Days after such Valuator’s engagement. 

(i)        If the higher of the estimated Fair Values as determined
by the Valuators is equal to or less than 110% of the lower of the estimated Fair Values as determined by the Valuators, then the Fair Value shall be finally determined to be equal to (i) (x) the higher estimate plus (y) the lower
estimate divided by (ii) two. 
 (ii)        If the
higher of the estimated Fair Values as determined by the Valuators is greater than 110% of the lower of the estimated Fair Values as determined by the Valuators, then Jefferies shall select a third advisor from a list of five advisors (excluding the
Valuators) to be selected by NBM from the list of advisors identified in the letter agreement, dated as of June 5, 2018, among NBM and the Minority Members (the “Resolving Firm”). 

(iii)        The Resolving Firm shall determine its estimate of the
Fair Value of the Put/Call Units as of the applicable Put/Call Date, such estimate of Fair Value to be delivered by the Resolving Firm each advisor no later than 30 Business Days after such Resolving Firm’s engagement. 

(iv)        If the Resolving Firm’s estimate of Fair Value is
equal to or between the estimate of Fair Values made by the initial two Valuators, then the Resolving Firm’s estimate of the Fair Value shall be the finally determined Fair Value. 

(v)        If the Resolving Firm’s estimate of Fair Value is not
between the estimate of Fair Values made by the initial two Valuators, then the finally determined Fair Value shall be equal to (1) (x) the Resolving Firm’s estimate of 

  
 55 

 
Fair Value plus (y) the estimate of Fair Value by the initial Valuator who was closest to the estimate of Fair Value by the Resolving Firm divided by two. 

(c)        The determination of estimated Fair Value by the Valuators
and/or Resolving Firm shall be final and binding on all parties. In making their determination, each of the Valuators and the Resolving Firm shall rely solely on written submissions made by NBM and any Put/Call Member(s). The “Fair
Value” with respect to a Unit shall be the fair market value of a Unit, determined on the basis of the aggregate equity value of the Company, valuing such Unit as a proportionate interest in a going concern, but without discount for
marketability, lack of liquidity, minority status or otherwise. The Fair Value shall not take into account the value of the Company or NBM’s Interests, in each case, reflected on NBM’s books and records or financial statements, nor shall
it take into account any synergies resulting from exercise of a Put. 

(d)        NBM shall pay the cost of the Valuator it appoints, and
(i) Jefferies, if Jefferies is a Put Member, or (ii) USPB, if USPB designates a Valuator pursuant to Section 12.5.3(b), as applicable, shall pay for the other Valuator (provided that if (A) (1)
Jefferies shall not be a Put Member or (2) the Fair Value is being calculated with respect to the Call Units, and (B) USPB is not designating a Valuator pursuant to Section 12.5.3(b), then the Company shall pay
for the second Valuator). The Resolving Firm, if needed, shall be paid by the Company. 

(e)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, once the
Fair Value has been determined pursuant to this Section 12.5, if the applicable Minority Member is not satisfied with the Fair Value, such Minority Member may determine not to proceed with the exercise of its put option;
provided that if Jefferies did not submit a notice of exercise with respect to the put option, the Minority Members that determine not to proceed with the exercise of the put option shall reimburse the Company for their pro rata portion of
the fees and expenses of the Valuator selected by Jefferies. 

12.5.4        Sale Notice. Following the establishment of the
Fair Value of the Put/Call Units, as of the applicable Put/Call Date, the Put/Call Member(s) shall sell, and NBM shall purchase, all of the Put/Call Units for the Fair Value of the Put/Call Units, without interest, on a date mutually agreed by NBM
and the applicable Put/Call Members (the “Pay Date”) that is no later than 180 days following the date that the Put Notice or Call Notice, as the case may be, was received by the applicable Party, 

12.5.5        Default by NBM. In the event that NBM (or its
Permitted Transferee) does not fulfill its obligations with respect to a Put Notice by a Minority Member, (a) the payment owed by NBM to the applicable Minority Member shall accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum from the six-month anniversary of the date on which NBM receives the Put Notice until paid in full, (b) beginning on the 12-month anniversary of the date on which NBM receives the
Put Notice, the putting Minority Members will be entitled to receive all distributions from the Company that would have otherwise been distributed to NBM; provided that (i) if more than one Minority Member has delivered a Put Notice,
each such Minority Member will be entitled to receive its pro rata share of such distributions based on the amount of Units it is putting in relation to the total amount of Units being put 

  
 56 

 
by all of the putting Members, and (ii) any such distributions received by a Minority Member will reduce the amount owed by NBM to such Minority Member in connection with the Put Notice on a
dollar-for-dollar basis, (c) beginning on the 12-month anniversary of the date on which NBM receives the Put Notice,
Jefferies will be entitled to initiate a sale process (including dual sale processes with respect to both (x) and (y) below) to (x) sell the Company or (y) find a third party to purchase NBM’s Units; provided that in the
event of a sale process pursuant to this clause (c) (i) Jefferies will have a right of first refusal with respect to any proposed transaction under the same terms and conditions (including price, payment conditions, representations, warranties,
indemnities and holdback/escrow) offered by the proposed purchaser, (ii) NBM will be obligated to accept the purchase price resulting from any such sale process, which proceeds will be used to satisfy the outstanding amount owed by NBM with
respect to all previously exercised Put Options, including any interest accrued with respect thereto (the “Outstanding Balance”), and (A) if the proceeds from such sale process are in excess of the Outstanding Balance, NBM will
retain any such excess proceeds, and (B) if the proceeds from such sale process are less than the Outstanding Balance, NBM will remain liable for any such shortfall, (iii) NBM may terminate such sale process at any time by paying the
Outstanding Balance in full, (iv) during such sale process, NBM will retain its management rights in the Company, but will, and will cause the Company to, fully cooperate with Jefferies in support of such sale process and (v) if no offers
are received pursuant to such sale process, Jefferies will have the option to either (A) release all claims for the Outstanding Balance in exchange for receipt of NBM’s membership interests or (B) retain the right to pursue NBM for
the Outstanding Balance. 
  

	13.	 DISSOLUTION OF COMPANY 

13.1        Termination of Membership. No Member shall resign or withdraw from
the Company except that, subject to the restrictions set forth in Article 11, any Member may Transfer its Interest in the Company to a transferee and a transferee may become a Member in place of the Member assigning such
Interest. 
 13.2        Events of Dissolution. The Company shall be
dissolved upon the happening of any of the following events: (a) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act, (b) the written determination of the Members
holding two-thirds of the outstanding Units or (c) the disposition of all of the Company’s assets. 

13.3        Liquidation. Upon dissolution of the Company for any reason, the
Company shall immediately commence to wind up its affairs. A reasonable period of time shall be allowed for the orderly termination of the Company’s business, discharge of its liabilities, and distribution or liquidation of the remaining assets
so as to enable the Company to minimize the normal losses attendant to the liquidation process. After the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the establishment of reasonable reserves, any property or assets of the Company,
including proceeds from the liquidation thereof, remaining upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Company shall be Distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 5.2.2. A full accounting of the assets and
liabilities of the Company shall be taken and a statement thereof shall be furnished to each Member promptly after the distribution of all of the assets of the Company. Such accounting and statements shall be prepared under the direction of the
Board of Managers. 

  
 57 

 13.4        No Action for
Dissolution. The Members acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the goodwill and reputation of the Company if any Member should bring an action in court to dissolve the Company under circumstances where dissolution is not required
by Section 13.2. This Agreement has been drawn carefully to provide fair treatment of all parties and equitable payment in liquidation of the Interests of all Members. Accordingly, except where the Board of Managers has
failed to liquidate the Company as required by Section 13.3 and except as specifically provided in Section 18 802 of the Act, each Member hereby waives and renounces its right to initiate legal action to seek
dissolution or to seek the appointment of a receiver or trustee to liquidate the Company. 

13.5        No Further Claim. Upon dissolution, each Member shall have recourse
solely to the assets of the Company for the return of such Member’s capital, and if the Company’s property remaining after payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company, including debts and liabilities owed to one or
more of the Members, is insufficient to return the aggregate Capital Contributions of each Member, such Member shall have no recourse against the Company, the Board of Managers or any other Member. 

 

	14.	 INDEMNIFICATION 

14.1        General. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Board of Managers and each Manager, each Member, including the Tax Matters Member and Partnership Representative in such Member’s capacities as such (as applicable), and the officers of the Company (all
indemnified persons being referred to as “Indemnified Persons” for purposes of this Article 14), from any liability, loss or damage incurred by the Indemnified Person by reason of any act performed or
omitted to be performed by the Indemnified Person in connection with the business of the Company, from liabilities or obligations of the Company imposed on such Person by virtue of such Person’s position with the Company, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs and any amounts expended in the settlement of any such claims of liability, loss or damage; provided, however, that if the liability, loss, damage or claim arises out of any action or inaction of an
Indemnified Person, indemnification under this Section 14.1 shall be available only if (a) either (i) the Indemnified Person, at the time of such action or inaction, determined in good faith that its course of conduct
was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or (ii) in the case of inaction by the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person did not intend its inaction to be harmful or opposed to the best interests of the Company and
(b) the action or inaction did not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by the Indemnified Person; provided, further, however, that indemnification under this Section 14.1 shall be recoverable
only from the assets of the Company, and not from any assets of the Members. The Company shall pay or reimburse reasonable attorneys’ fees of an Indemnified Person as incurred; provided that such Indemnified Person executes an
undertaking, with appropriate security if requested by the Board of Managers, to repay the amount so paid or reimbursed in the event of a final non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction
that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification under this Article 14. The Company may pay for insurance covering liability of the Indemnified Persons for negligence in operation of the Company’s
affairs. 
 14.2        Exculpation. No Indemnified Person shall be liable,
in damages or otherwise, to the Company or to any Member for any loss that arises out of any act performed or omitted to be 

  
 58 

 
performed by it, him or her pursuant to the authority granted by this Agreement if (a) either (i) the Indemnified Person, at the time of such action or inaction, determined in good faith
that such Indemnified Person’s course of conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, or (ii) in the case of inaction by the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person did not intend such Indemnified Person’s
inaction to be harmful or opposed to the best interests of the Company and (b) the conduct of the Indemnified Person did not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by such Indemnified Person. 

14.3        Persons Entitled to Indemnity. Any Person who is within the
definition of Indemnified Person at the time of any action or inaction in connection with the business of the Company shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article 14 as an Indemnified Person with respect thereto,
regardless of whether such Person continues to be within the definition of Indemnified Person at the time of such Indemnified Person’s claim for indemnification or exculpation hereunder. 

14.4        Procedure Agreements. The Company may enter into an agreement with
any of its officers, or the Managers, setting forth procedures consistent with applicable law for implementing the indemnities provided in this Article 14. 

14.5        Duties of Board of Managers. Without limiting applicability of any
other provision of this Agreement, including without limitation the other provisions of this Article 14, which shall control notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.5, the
following provisions shall be applicable to the Board of Managers and the members thereof in their capacity as members of the Board of Managers: 

(a)        The Board of Managers and the Managers and the decisions of
the Board of Managers shall have the benefit of the business judgment rule to the same extent as the Board of Managers, such members and such decisions would have the benefit of such rule if the Board of Managers were a board of directors of a
Delaware corporation. 
 (b)        Except as set forth in
Section 14.7.3, the Managers shall have the same duties of care and loyalty as such Persons would have if such Persons were directors of a Delaware corporation but in no event shall any Manager be liable for any action or
inaction for which exculpation is provided under Section 14.2. 

14.6        Interested Transactions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no
member of the Board of Managers shall be deemed to have breached his duty of loyalty to the Company or the Members (and such member of the Board of Managers shall not be liable to the Company or to the Members for breach of any duty of loyalty or
analogous duty) with respect to any action or inaction in connection with or relating to any transaction that was approved in accordance with Section 6.11. 

14.7        Fiduciary and Other Duties. 

14.7.1        An Indemnified Person acting under this Agreement shall
not be liable to the Company or to any other Indemnified Person for his, her or its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties (including fiduciary duties)
and liabilities of an Indemnified Person 

  
 59 

 
otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person. 

14.7.2        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or
otherwise applicable law, whenever in this Agreement an Indemnified Person is permitted or required to make a decision (a) in his, her or its discretion or under a grant of similar authority, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to consider
only such interests and factors as such Indemnified Person desires, including his, her or its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or
factors affecting the Company or any other Person, or (b) in his, her or its good faith or under another express standard, the Indemnified Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different
standards. 
 14.7.3        Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement or otherwise applicable law, other than corporate opportunities belonging to the Company, which shall be only acquiring any interest in any cattle slaughtering facilities in the United States (unless such corporate opportunity is
waived by a vote of the Board of Managers, which vote shall include a majority of the Managers not appointed by Jefferies or NBM, as applicable), NBM and Jefferies (or any of their Affiliates) may each engage in any other business activities
whatsoever and engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business conducted or proposed to be conducted by the Company or any of its
Affiliates, and none of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any other Member (including such other Member’s Affiliates) shall have any rights in, with respect to, or to be informed of such other business activities or ventures or the income
or profits derived therefrom. Other than corporate opportunities belonging to the Company, which shall be only acquiring any interest in any cattle slaughtering facilities in the United States (unless such corporate opportunity is waived by a vote
of the Board of Managers, which vote shall include a majority of the Managers not appointed by Jefferies or NBM, as applicable), NBM or Jefferies (or any of their Affiliates) shall not be obligated to present any business or investment opportunity
to the Company or its Affiliates even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company or such Affiliates, could be taken by the Company or such Affiliates, and NBM or Jefferies (or any of their Affiliates) shall have the
right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner, member, shareholder, fiduciary or otherwise) or to recommend to any other Person any such particular business or investment opportunity.
