	 	Re:	Amendment to Waiver Letter 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Reference is made to that certain Letter regarding the Waiver and Amendment of Certain Loan and Equity Documents, dated as of August 9,
2015 (the “Waiver Letter”), from Rentech, Inc. (“Rentech”) to Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and the lenders party thereto. Capitalized
terms used in this amendment letter (this “Amendment Letter”) but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the applicable Waiver Document (as defined in the Waiver Letter) or in the Waiver Letter, as applicable. 

The parties hereto have previously agreed to the forms of an amended and restated Credit Agreement, an amended and restated Guaranty, and a
preferred equity exchange and discharge agreement relating to the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of Rentech (the foregoing, collectively, the “Proposed Amended Documents”) in connection with the Waiver Letter and have further
negotiated and agreed to amended drafts of such Proposed Amendment Documents in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C (collectively, the “Revised Proposed Amended Documents”). The parties propose to amend
and restate each of the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty and set forth the terms and mechanics for the repayment and termination of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of Rentech and related agreements contemporaneous with the consummation of
the mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), to match the forms of the Revised Proposed Amended Documents attached hereto. 

 By executing this Waiver Letter, each of the parties hereto agrees to (i) revise the
Proposed Amendment Documents to reflect the forms of the Revised Proposed Amended Documents attached hereto as Exhibit A, Exhibit B, and Exhibit C, respectively, (ii) to execute and deliver the Revised Proposed Amended Documents (with such
changes therein as are reasonably acceptable to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and GSO) in substantially the form attached hereto) and other documents required thereby at the time of the closing of the Merger, (iii) use reasonable
efforts to implement the amendments and modifications contemplated by the Revised Proposed Amended Documents, and (iv) take such other steps as may be necessary to implement such documents and the Merger Agreement, including the adoption of
resolutions approving the Revised Proposed Amended Documents by the Rentech Parties (as defined below), in each case at the expense of Rentech Nitrogen Holdings, Inc. (“RNHI” and, together with Rentech, the “Rentech
Parties”). 
 Following the execution of this Amendment Letter, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Lenders and the Rentech Parties agree, at the request of either the Rentech Parties or the Lenders, to use commercially reasonable efforts until May 31, 2016 to discuss in good faith further possible amendments to the Revised Proposed Amended
Documents that are consistent with ongoing discussions among the Lenders and the Rentech Parties if such amendments are, in the judgment of the Lenders, reasonably necessary to enable the Merger to close and the Term Loans and the Preferred Shares
to be repaid and redeemed, respectively, to an extent satisfactory to the Lenders. The parties hereto agree that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to agree to further revisions to the Revised Proposed Amended
Documents, any other Loan Documents, or any documents related to the Preferred Shares and the failure of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to agree to any amendments to any of the foregoing shall not be deemed bad faith upon the part of the
Lenders or the Administrative Agent or a breach of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder. 
 Nothing in this Amendment Letter is intended
to (i) extend the effectiveness of the Waiver Letter or (ii) waive any other rights of the Lenders or Obligations of the Rentech Parties under the Waiver Letter, any other Loan Documents, or any documents related to the Preferred Shares.
If the Merger occurs prior to the execution and delivery of the Revised Proposed Amended Documents by all parties thereto (other than the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, GSO and the Purchaser’s Representative) or the performance by any
Rentech Party of its covenants and agreements under this Amendment Letter or the Waiver Letter, the waivers hereunder and the waivers under the Waiver Letter shall be revoked retroactively to the date of the Waiver Letter as if such waivers had
never become effective and an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred under the Credit Agreement. 
 The Rentech Parties jointly
and severally agree to pay within two Business Days of demand (or, if not previously demanded, on the date of the closing of the Merger) all reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of all counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the
Purchasers and GSO incurred in connection with this Amendment Letter, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all previous waivers to the extent invoiced. 

Each Rentech Party represents and warrants to each of the undersigned that (a) the execution, delivery, and performance by it of this
Amendment Letter (i) are within its company powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary company action, (iii) do not violate any Law or writ, judgment, injunction, determination or award, or contravene its Constituent
Documents, and (iv) do not contravene any contractual restriction binding on it or require any 

 
consent under any material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which any of its properties or assets is bound; (b) after giving effect to this Amendment Letter, the
representations and warranties in the Loan Documents, as applicable to each of the undersigned, are true, correct and complete in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, as though made on such date (except to the extent that such
representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true, correct and complete in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided, that, if a representation
and warranty is qualified as to materiality, with respect to such representation and warranty the materiality qualifier set forth above shall be disregarded); and (c) after giving effect to this Amendment Letter, no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing on the date hereof. 
 Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment Letter, each reference in any Waiver Document
to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “herein,” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to such Waiver Document as modified by this Amendment Letter, and each reference to any Waiver Document in any other
document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with such Waiver Document shall mean and be a reference to the Waiver Documents as modified hereby. Except as specifically waived or amended hereby, (i) each Waiver
Document shall remain in full force and effect and (ii) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment Letter shall not operate as a waiver of any covenant, event of default, right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders, the Purchasers, or GSO in or under any Waiver Document. This Amendment Letter shall be deemed a “Loan Document”. 
 The
Lenders are hereby directing the Administrative Agent to execute this Amendment Letter and to perform all actions required thereunder. 

This Amendment Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without giving effect to its
conflict of laws provisions other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law. 

 This Amendment Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment
Letter by facsimile or by e-mail in portable document format (.pdf) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment Letter.

Tranche A Loan and subject to the next sentence, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders the Required Tranche A Equity Prepayment Amount3 (with each
Lender receiving its Ratable Share of such Required Tranche A Equity Prepayment Amount) and (ii) with respect to all accrued and unpaid 

 

	3 	 The number of units this represents will be provided to the Administrative Agent on the Second Restatement Date.

  
  

21 

 
interest on the Tranche A Loan, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders such interest in cash (with each Lender receiving its Ratable Share of such interest). In
addition, to the extent that the Required Tranche A Equity Prepayment Value is less than the lesser of (x) $50,000,000 and (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Tranche A Loans on the Second Restatement Date, a portion of the
principal amount of the Tranche A Loan equal to the result obtained by subtracting the Required Tranche A Equity Prepayment Value from such lesser amount shall be deemed to constitute an outstanding Tranche B Loan as of the Second Restatement Date
(with each Lender holding its Ratable Share of such outstanding principal amount of Tranche B Loans) and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Tranche B Loans referred to in Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed increased by such amount on
the Second Restatement Date. Borrower acknowledges and agrees to the foregoing. 
 (b) Tranche B Loans. Borrower
acknowledges and confirms for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each Lender as of the Second Restatement Date, that (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Loan is $45,000,000 (prior to giving effect to any
Tranche B Loan deemed to be outstanding as a result of the operation of the last sentence of Section 2.01(a) above), (ii) $[            ] of interest has accrued on the Term B
Loan and is unpaid (without taking into account interest on any Tranche B Loan deemed to be outstanding as a result of the operation of the last sentence of Section 2.01(a) above), and (iii) all such amounts are duly and validly owing to
the Lenders hereunder and are not subject to any defense, counterclaim, or right of setoff of any kind. No Tranche B Loans may be borrowed after the Second Restatement Date. 

(c) Tranche D Commitments. On the Second Restatement Date, (i) the Tranche D Commitments of each Lender shall be
deemed cancelled in full and no Lender shall have any further obligation with respect to its Tranche D Commitment and (ii) Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche D Loan together with accrued and unpaid
interest and fees thereon by making a cash payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders (with each Lender receiving its Ratable Share of such payment). Borrower acknowledges and agrees to the foregoing. 

(d) No Reborrowing. Loans borrowed and prepaid or repaid may not be reborrowed. 

2.02 Underlying Equity Call Right; Lender Disposition of Underlying Equity. 

(a) The Lenders agree that the Parent Guarantor shall have the right, which shall be exercisable no more than once during the Underlying Equity
Call Period pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) or Section 2.02(b)(ii), to acquire from the Lenders all or any integral number of units of Lender Underlying Equity that are owned by each such Lender on the date of receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any Underlying Equity Call Notice (the “Underlying Equity Call Right”). For each unit of Underlying Equity acquired by the Parent Guarantor in exercising the Underlying Equity Call Right the Parent Guarantor
shall pay an amount in cash equal to 150% of the Adjusted Issuer Price (the “Underlying Equity Call Price”). 

  
  

22 

 The Parent Guarantor may exercise the Underlying Equity Call Right by sending an irrevocable
written notice (the “Underlying Equity Call Notice”) to the Administrative Agent specifying (i) the number of units of Lender Underlying Equity to be called, (ii) the date on which the closing of such Underlying Equity
Call Right will be effected (which date shall be no sooner than three (3) Business Days after the date of such notice and no more than ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt of such notice), and (iii) the aggregate amount to
be paid by the Parent Guarantor in connection with such exercise of the Underlying Equity Call Right. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall forward such notice to each Lender. Such notice shall be deemed acceptable unless a
Lender notifies the Administrative Agent within two (2) Business Days after it receives such notice that it disagrees with the calculations in such notice. Absent such disagreement, on the closing date specified in such notice, the Parent
Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in immediately available funds the amount specified in such notice (which shall be promptly distributed by the Administrative Agent to each Lender as provided in
Section 2.12(a)) and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall cause the units of Lender Underlying Equity that are the subject of such notice to be delivered promptly to the Parent Guarantor, without representation or warranty of any
kind. 
 (b) Subject to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, each Lender shall have the right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or
otherwise encumber its Lender Underlying Equity at any time, provided that any sale (“Underlying Equity Sale”) by any Lender of any or all of its Lender Underlying Equity made during the Underlying Equity Call Period (other
than any sale to any fund managed by or affiliated with GSO Capital Partners LP) shall be subject to the following: 
 (i) If
the volume weighted average price for units of Underlying Equity on the New York Stock Exchange for the day immediately preceding the proposed date of the Underlying Equity Sale is less than or equal to the Underlying Equity Call Price, then such
Lender is entitled to (x) sell such Lender Underlying Equity without notice to the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower and (y) retain all proceeds of such sale for its own account. 

(ii) If the volume weighted average price for units of Underlying Equity on the New York Stock Exchange for the day immediately
preceding the proposed date of the Underlying Equity Sale is greater than the Underlying Equity Call Price, then such Lender must notify the Parent Guarantor in writing (the “Underlying Equity Sale Notice”) of its intention to sell
all or any portion of its Lender Underlying Equity and specify the volume weighted average price for units of Underlying Equity on the New York Stock Exchange for the day immediately prior to the date of such notice. If the Underlying Equity Call
Period remains in effect the Parent Guarantor may exercise the Underlying Equity Call Right with respect to the Lender Underlying Equity of such Lender by delivering an Underlying Equity Call Notice in accordance with Section 2.02(a) prior to
the end of the five (5) Business Day period that follows the delivery to the Parent 

  
  

23 

 
Guarantor of the Underlying Equity Sale Notice and following the procedures and making the payments provided for in Section 2.02(a) (modified, if applicable and as necessary, to reflect the
fact that the Underlying Equity Call Right is being exercised with respect to the Lender Underlying Equity of a single Lender). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02(b)(ii), such Lender is entitled to sell all or a
portion of its Lender Underlying Equity during such five (5) Business Day period and prior to its receipt of an Underlying Equity Call Notice from Parent Guarantor and retain all of the proceeds thereof, provided that it shall pay to the
Parent Guarantor in immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days after the settlement of such sale transaction, an amount equal to result obtained by multiplying (x) the number of units of Lender Underlying Equity sold in such
sale transaction by (y) the excess of the per unit sale price for the Lender Underlying Equity sold over the Underlying Equity Call Price. 

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Underlying Equity Call Right may only be exercised once. Such exercise may be concurrently with, but not
after, the exercise of the Repurchase Right (as defined in the Preferred Equity Discharge Agreement). 
 (d) All Lender Underlying Equity
sold by a Lender to any Person shall be sold free and clear of the Underlying Equity Call Right provided for in Section 2.02(a) and the rights provided to the Parent Guarantor in Section 2.02(b)(ii). 

(e) The Underlying Equity Call Right provided for in Section 2.02(a) and the rights provided to the Parent Guarantor in
Section 2.02(b)(ii) are for the benefit of the Parent Guarantor only and may only be exercised by the Parent Guarantor. 
 2.03
Repayment of Loans. Borrower shall repay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders the principal amount of the Loans together with all accrued and unpaid fees and interest, and the Loans shall mature, on the Stated Maturity Date.

 2.04 Interest. 

(a) Interest Payments. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date such Loan is made

calendar quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date such Loan is made, on the Stated Maturity Date, and thereafter, on demand. The Applicable Rate shall be computed on a year of 360 days and for each day elapsed in the
applicable Interest Period. Interest (including the default interest set forth below) shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law. 

  
  

24 

 (b) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at Required Lenders’ option, after written notice (or automatically while an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) or (h) has occurred and is continuing),
Borrower shall pay on demand (and in any event in arrears on the date such amount shall be due and payable hereunder) interest on: 

(i) the unpaid principal amount of each Loan, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Default Rate, from the date of
occurrence of such Event of Default or date of notice from Required Lenders (at their election) and to the extent there is a period between the date of occurrence of an Event of Default and the date that Borrower delivers notice of such Event of
Default to Administrative Agent under Section 5.01(b)(iv) (the “Initial Default Period”), then Required Lenders may also elect at their option to charge interest at the Default Rate for the Initial Default Period;
and 
 (ii) the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such
amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable on demand (and in any event in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full) at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Default Rate.

(iii) if such prepayment is less than the entire outstanding principal amount of the Loans, such notice shall specify the amount of each Tranche of Loans to be prepaid. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment
and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under this
Section 2.05(b) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed 

(c) Prepayment from Proceeds of Qualifying IPO or Extraordinary Proceeds Event. Borrower shall within ten
(10) Business Days after the occurrence of any Qualifying IPO or Extraordinary Proceeds Event, make an offer to prepay the Loans (a “Prepayment Offer”) in an amount equal to, in the case of a Qualifying IPO, the entire

prepayment, and (z) such other amount as may be selected by Required Lenders (such applicable amount, the “Prepayment Amount”). 

  
  

25

(20) Business Days following its commencement (the “Prepayment Offer Period”) and shall state (A) in the case of an Extraordinary Proceeds Event, in reasonable detail the nature and amount of the Extraordinary Proceeds
therefrom and the date of receipt thereof by Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, (B) that the Prepayment Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) and the Prepayment Offer Period, including the time and date the

(5) Business Days after the Prepayment Offer Termination Date. Such prepayment shall be made without premium or penalty, in all cases. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower’s failure to comply with this paragraph shall not relieve it of any

26

loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender Party; 

(ii) subject any Lender Party to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or any Loan made by it, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender Party in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes described in clauses (a)(ii) and (b) through (d) of the definition
of “Excluded Taxes”); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender Party or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Loan made hereunder; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
increase the cost to such Lender Party, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender Party, Borrower will pay to such
Lender Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration

Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

a Lender Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and

any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender Party 

  
  

27 

 
notifies Borrower, in writing of the increased costs and of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the circumstance giving rise
to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

the Facility, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to
the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require a Loan Party or Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld
or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined in the good faith discretion of such Loan Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 

(ii) If a Loan Party or Administrative Agent shall be required by the Internal Revenue Code or applicable Law to withhold or
deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Administrative Agent or such Loan Party, as the case may be, to be required, (B) Administrative
Agent or such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code or such applicable Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction

above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

asserted on or attributable to amounts payable 

  
  

28 

 
under this Section) withheld or deducted by such Loan Party or Administrative Agent or paid by such Lender Party, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a
Lender Party (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to Administrative Agent pursuant to Subsection (e). Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set
off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this
clause (ii) shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

Taxes by any Loan Party or by Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.08, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower, as the case may be,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or
Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 
 (e) Status of Lenders. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to Borrower and
to Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement or when reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any
other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all
payments to be made to such Lender by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s 

  
  

29 

 
status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify
or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its
Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that any Loan Party or Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the preceding sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.08(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall
not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting or duplication of the foregoing, 

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

 (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

  
  

30 

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

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form
W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or applicable successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form
W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption,
such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in
such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative
Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
applicable Law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by 

  
  

31 

 
applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent
as may be necessary for the Loan Parties and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in
any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(iv) If Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to Borrower two executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying
that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Otherwise, Administrative Agent (including any successor Administrative Agent that is not a U.S. Person) shall deliver to Borrower two duly completed copies of Form W-8IMY certifying that
it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with
the Loan Parties to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments (and the Loan Parties and Administrative Agent agree to so treat Administrative Agent as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments), with the effect that the Loan
Parties can make payments to Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States. 

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any
obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender Party, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender Party, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender Party. If Administrative Agent or any
Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with
respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender Party in the event Administrative Agent or such 

  
  

32 

 
Lender Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection (f), in no event will the indemnified party
be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Subsection (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party
would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This
Subsection shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. 

(g) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.08, the term “applicable Law”
includes FATCA. 
 (h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.08 shall
survive termination of the Facility, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent. 

(i) Grandfather Status. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the First
Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 
 2.09 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender
shall notify Administrative Agent and Borrower that any Law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender to perform its obligations to make or maintain Loans hereunder, the
obligation of such Lender to make or maintain its Ratable Share of the Loans shall be terminated and all Loans of such Lender, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to such Lender shall become due and payable. Any
Lender that becomes aware of circumstances that would permit such Lender to notify Administrative Agent of any illegality under this Section 2.09 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such change would avoid or eliminate such illegality and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

 2.10 Compensation for Losses. Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth
in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable and documented losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds required by such Lender to fund its Loan but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (a) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Sections 2.03 or
2.05 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 6.01) occurs on a date which is not the last 

  
  

33 

 
day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (b) if any prepayment of any Loan is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower; or (c) as a
consequence of any other default by Borrower to repay any Loan when required by the terms of this Agreement. Such loss, expense or liability to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the amount (if any) by
which (x) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Rate that would have been applicable to the Loan (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include
the Spread applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the applicable Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, for the period that would have been the initial Interest Period for the
Loan) exceeds (y) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount
and period from banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The obligation of Borrower in this clause shall survive the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Obligations. 

2.11 Evidence of Debt. 

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of
Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(b) Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders hereunder from
Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to
Subsections (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Administrative Agent or
any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such obligations in accordance with their terms, and in the event of any conflict between such accounts and the Register
maintained by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.06(e), the entries in the Register shall be controlling. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Loans will be treated as in “registered form” within
the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code). 

(d) No promissory note shall be required to evidence the Loans by Lenders to Borrower. Upon the request of a Lender, Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, which shall evidence the Loans to Borrower by such Lender in addition to such records. Any promissory note issued to a Lender shall bear the following legend:

PURPOSES. FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE ISSUE PRICE, THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT, THE ISSUE DATE, AND THE YIELD TO MATURITY OF THE NOTE, PLEASE CONTACT DAN J. COHRS, RENTECH NITROGEN HOLDINGS, INC., 10877 WILSHIRE BLVD., SUITE 600,

 2.12 Payments and Computations. 

(a) All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment
or setoff. Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 12:00 noon on the day when due in Dollars to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at its office in New York, New York. Administrative Agent will promptly
distribute to each Lender its Ratable Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of (i) any such payment made in the form of funds in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office and (ii) any such
payment made in the form of Equity Interests either by delivery of physical certificates evidencing such Equity Interests to such Lender at its Lending Office or, if such Equity Interests are not evidenced by certificates, by electronic transfer of
such Equity Interests to a securities account established by such Lender (provided information regarding such account previously shall have been notified by such Lender to the Administrative Agent). All payments received by Administrative Agent
after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day (in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any payment hereunder would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees, as the case may be. 

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 2.01, all payments (including, without limitation, prepayments and any other
amounts received hereunder in connection with the exercise of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ rights after an Event of Default) made by Borrower to Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be applied to amounts then due and
payable in the following order: (i) to any fees, expenses and indemnities payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent under any Loan Document; (ii) ratably to any expenses and indemnities payable by Borrower to any Lender under any Loan
Document; (iii) to any accrued and unpaid interest and fees due to any Lender under this Agreement; (iv) to principal payments on the outstanding Loans; and (v) to the extent of any excess, to the payment of all other Obligations
under the Loan Documents. 

  
  

35 

 2.13 Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 

(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Loan, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Share of such Loan
available on such date and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its Ratable Share of such Loan available to Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding
the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the Applicable Rate. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its Ratable Share of the applicable Loan to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent. 

(b) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

(c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant
to Section 2.08(c)(ii) or 8.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 2.08(c)(ii) or 8.04(c) on any date
required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its
payment under Section 2.08(c)(ii) or 8.04(c). 

  
  

36 

 2.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued
interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in
the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf
of Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant,
other than an assignment to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (including Issuer) (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable
Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in
the amount of such participation. 
 2.15 Restricted Transactions; No-Rehypothecation. 

(a) Except for any Permitted Transaction (or component thereof), without the consent of Required Lenders (not to be
unreasonably withheld), Borrower shall not, and shall not permit Parent Guarantor or any Aggregated Person to, (i) sell, hedge (including any derivative transactions and short sales), transfer or otherwise dispose of any Underlying Equity;
(ii) incur additional Debt collateralized by any Underlying Equity, including without limitation synthetic “long” positions on the Underlying Equity; (iii) issue debt or preferred stock or other instruments exchangeable into or
otherwise referencing the Underlying Equity; or (iv) enter into any agreement that contractually imposes any lock-up, encumbrance, or other restriction in respect of any Collateral Shares, other than under the Facility and other than any
agreement to which any Lender Party is a party. 
 (b) Each of the following transactions shall be a “Permitted
Transaction”: 
 (i) [intentionally omitted]; 

(ii) any sale of Underlying Equity constituting Collateral pursuant to any exercise of rights and remedies under the Pledge
Agreement; and 
 (iii) any of the releases made in accordance with Section 2.16 below. 

  
  

37 

 (c) Each Lender Party agrees not to pledge, repledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate,
sell, assign, invest, lend, use, commingle or otherwise transfer for hedging, financing or other related activities (including without limitation, pursuant to repurchase transactions) any Collateral Shares; provided that the foregoing shall
not restrict (i) any Lender Party’s rights to assign, sell participations in or pledge the Obligations and the Collateral as permitted in Section 8.06 hereof or (ii) any Lender Party’s rights and remedies after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. 
 2.16 Release of Collateral Shares. Borrower may not
withdraw any Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) from any Collateral Account, except as provided in the following: 

All dividends, distributions and proceeds in respect of the Collateral Shares, whether in cash, securities or other property,
shall be deposited into the Collateral Account and constitute Collateral. Borrower may, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice (or four (4) Business Days if such notice is not received by 12:00 noon on the applicable Business Day) to
Administrative Agent, request the release of Ordinary Cash Distributions deposited into the Collateral Account (which notice may be delivered prior to the deposit of such Ordinary Cash Distributions), and Administrative Agent shall instruct
Custodian to release such Ordinary Cash Distributions on the date specified by Borrower in such request so long as of the date of such release no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result from such release.

 ARTICLE VII. 

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 7.01
Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent
to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In performing its functions and
duties hereunder, Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower. Upon request of Administrative
Agent, each Lender agrees to promptly provide Administrative Agent with such information related to a Collateral Account or any Collateral subject to the control of such Lender. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Lender
Parties, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 7.02 Rights as a Lender. If
the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder also acts as a Lender hereunder, it shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent and
the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Administrative Agent
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or other Affiliate (including Issuer) thereof as if such Person
were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. 
 7.03 Exculpatory Provisions. 

(a) Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent: 
 (i) shall not be subject to any
fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights
and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise, provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its
counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; or 

  
  

56 

 (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including Issuer) that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary,
under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 and 6.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to Administrative Agent by Borrower or a Lender. 

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms, conditions, or provisions set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans, or as to the existence or possible
existence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent. 

7.04 Reliance by Administrative Agents. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, shall be fully
protected in relying on and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including but not limited to any notice or certificate provided under
Section 2.16 of this Agreement) including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan, which by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to
the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action
taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

  
  

57 

 7.05 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent, without consent of or notice to any party
hereto, may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more agents, sub-agents, affiliates or employees appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative
Agent and any such agents, sub-agent, affiliates or employees may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such
agents, sub-agents, affiliates or employees and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as
well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 7.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may at any time give
notice of its resignation to Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with (and so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, with approval of) Borrower, to
appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders or an appointed successor does not accept such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives
notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders that no Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(except that if any Collateral is then held by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to transfer all Collateral held by it to the successor
Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired)
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
Section). After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VII and
Section 8.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 7.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other
Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, performed
its own analysis and made its own decision (credit, legal and otherwise) to enter into this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related 

  
  

58 

 
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to perform its own analysis and make its own decisions (credit, legal and otherwise) in taking or not taking action under or
based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 7.08 No
Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity as Administrative Agent
hereunder or thereunder. 
 7.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loans shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and
all other obligations that are owing and unpaid to Administrative Agent or any other Lender Parties under the Loan Documents and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lender Parties and
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lender Parties and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lender Parties and
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any
monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender Party to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to Lender Parties, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. 
 Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations owed by Borrower
hereunder or the rights of any Lender Party or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender Party in any such proceeding. 

  
  

59

during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent
provided in Subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such Subsection (b). 

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by
electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it
hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 

Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be
deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment), provided that if such

62

rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or
(ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent, each other Lender Party and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and
liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Administrative Agent may be recorded by Administrative Agent, and
each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 8.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender Party
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall the single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Law. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Lender Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 

8.04 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Lender Party
and their Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to Administrative Agent and one counsel to the other Lender Parties (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel to Administrative Agent and one local
counsel to the other Lender Parties, in any relevant material jurisdiction) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby shall be consummated)), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, any Lender Party and their respective Affiliates after the First Restatement Date (including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel) in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery of any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, and
(iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Administrative Agent and any Lender Party), in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. 
 (b) Indemnification by
Loan Parties. Each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each other Lender Party and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all 

  
  

63 

 
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to Administrative Agent and its Related Parties and one counsel for the
other Indemnitees (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel to Administrative Agent and its Related Parties and one local counsel to the other Indemnitees, in any relevant material jurisdiction)) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against
any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any Related Party of Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the BMO Intercreditor Agreement, any account control
agreement required in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the administration of this Agreement, the BMO Intercreditor Agreement, any account control agreement required in connection with this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents,
(ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory,
whether brought by a third party or by Borrower or any Related Party of Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This
Section 8.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that any Loan Party for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount
required under Subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees
to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid
amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or
against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of Lenders under this Subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.12(c). 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising
out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee
referred to in  

  
  

64 

 Subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by
unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not
later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor. 
 (f) Survival. The agreements in this
Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Facility and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 

8.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Administrative Agent or any other Lender
Party, or Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise,
then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and
(b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the
date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the resignation or replacement of
Administrative Agent, the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 8.06 Assignments and
Participations. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender. Any
Lender may, with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates (including
Issuer)) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, all or a portion of its Commitments or its Loans); provided, however, that (i) no consent from Administrative Agent or
Borrower shall be required if a Lender assigns all or any portion of its obligations to any other Lender, Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof, and (ii) no consent from Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing; provided further that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by 

  
  

65 

 
written notice to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative
Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Assumption, whereupon such assignee, to the extent of the assigned interest, shall be a “Lender” hereunder. The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent
an administrative questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance
procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and all applicable tax forms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent may withhold its consent to an assignment if Administrative Agent does not approve the
proposed assignee. 
 (b) Except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of
all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or if an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder, the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender being assigned to such assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as
of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000, unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents. 

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.07, 2.08, 2.10, and 8.04 with respect to facts
and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of
this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (f) of this Section. 

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assignor and an assignee, an administrative
questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the written consent of Administrative Agent (if required) and Borrower (if required) to such assignment and any applicable tax forms,
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment by a Lender shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
subsection (d). 

  
  

66 

 (e) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts
(and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (f) Any Lender may at any time, without
the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates (including Issuer)) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
 Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that
such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 8.01 that affects such
Participant. Subject to Subsection (g) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.07, 2.08 and 2.10 to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.14 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender. 

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on
which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans,
letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States 

  
  

67 

 
Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register
as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as administrative agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining
a Participant Register. 
 (g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Sections 2.07 and 2.08 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of
Section 2.08 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.08(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 2.08(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). 
 (h) Any Lender may, in connection with
any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.06 and subject to the provisions of Section 8.12, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee
or participant any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including Issuer) furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of Borrower. 

(i) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute
any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 8.07 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. 

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New
York, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law. 

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of the State of New York, and all appropriate appellate courts or, if jurisdiction in such court is lacking, any New York State court of competent jurisdiction
sitting in New York County (and all appropriate appellate courts), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, in such Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other 

  
  

68 

 
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against Borrower or the properties of either such party in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c) Waiver of Venue. Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law,
any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Subsection (b) of this
Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices
in Section 8.02(a). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. 

(e) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION 8.07(e). 
 8.08 Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the rest of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 8.09 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution; Securities Contract.

 (a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate

  
  

69 

 
letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 (b) Electronic Execution of
Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form,
each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the
Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

8.10 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each other
Lender Party, regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event
of Default at the time of making any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 

8.11 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to
be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a
Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 

8.12 Confidentiality. Administrative Agent and each Lender Party that becomes party to this Agreement after the Original Closing Date
(other than any Affiliate of a Lender party to this Agreement on the Original Closing Date (each an “Original Lender”)), agrees to 

  
  

70 

 
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to
have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of, or any prospective assignee of, any of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to Borrower and its obligations,
this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Loans, (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the
issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facility or (iii) any administration, management or settlement service providers; (h) with the consent of Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. 

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any of their
respective Subsidiaries relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Lender Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by
any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time
of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree
of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 8.13 No
Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that: (a)(i) the services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower and its Affiliates (including Issuer), on
the one hand, and Administrative Agent, the other Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, (ii) Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and
(iii) Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party is and
has been acting solely as a principal and, except as 

  
  

71 

 
expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including Issuer), or
any other Person and (ii) Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties have no obligation to Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including Issuer) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set
forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) Administrative Agent, the other Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower and
its Affiliates (including Issuer), and Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties have no obligations to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including Issuer). To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower
hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent, any other Lender Party and their respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any
transaction contemplated hereby. 
 8.14 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party, and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by Administrative Agent or any Lender Party or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of
Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Administrative Agent or Lender Party or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or
Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of Administrative Agent or any Lender Party
different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender Party and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender Party or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender Party agrees to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 8.15 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the sections and
subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 

8.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender Party that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and Administrative Agent (for itself
and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender Party or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify
Borrower in accordance with the Act. Borrower agrees to promptly provide any Lender Party or Administrative Agent with all of the information requested by such Person to the extent such Person deems such information reasonably necessary to identify
Borrower in accordance with the Act. 

  
  

72 

 8.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire
agreement between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof. 

8.18 Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Restated Credit Agreement. All indebtedness,
obligations and Liens created by the Existing Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents referred to therein that remain outstanding on the Second Restatement Date remain outstanding and in effect and are continued by this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents with such modifications as are set forth herein and therein. The parties agree that the “Issuer Acknowledgment” referred to in the Existing Restated Credit Agreement shall have no further force or effect on and
after the Second Restatement Date.

 EXHIBIT A 

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT 

  
  

Exhibit A to Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement 

 EXHIBIT B 

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT 

This Assignment and Assumption (the “Assignment and Assumption”) is dated as of the Effective Date set forth below and is
entered into by and between [Insert name of Assignor] (the “Assignor”) and [Insert name of Assignee] (the “Assignee”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to
them in the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement identified below (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), receipt of a copy of which is hereby acknowledged by the
Assignee. The Standard Terms and Conditions set forth in Annex 1 attached hereto are hereby agreed to and incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Assignment and Assumption as if set forth herein in full. 

For an agreed consideration, the Assignor hereby irrevocably sells and assigns to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases
and assumes from the Assignor, subject to and in accordance with the Standard Terms and Conditions and the Credit Agreement, as of the Effective Date inserted by Administrative Agent as contemplated below (i) all of the Assignor’s rights
and obligations in its capacity as a Lender under the Credit Agreement and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto to the extent related to the amount and percentage interest identified below of all of such outstanding rights
and obligations of the Assignor under the Facility and (ii) to the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable Law, all claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of the Assignor (in its capacity as a Lender) against any Person,
whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto or the loan transactions governed thereby or in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing,

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 

GUARANTY AGREEMENT 
 This
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT (as such may be amended, amended and restated, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, this “Guaranty”) is dated as of
[                    ] by RENTECH, INC., a Colorado corporation (“Parent Guarantor”), each Person that is a signatory hereto as a
Subsidiary Guarantor (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with Parent Guarantor and each Additional Guarantor (as hereinafter defined) added hereto as a Guarantor pursuant to Section 27, the
“Guarantors” and each a “Guarantor”) in favor of CREDIT SUISSE AG, CAYMAN ISLANDS BRANCH, as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) for the benefit of the Lender Parties (as defined in the
Credit Agreement referenced below). 
 Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of
February 12, 2015, by and among Rentech Nitrogen Holdings, Inc. (“Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto and Administrative Agent (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Restated Credit
Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lender Parties made loans to Borrower. 
 Borrower, Lenders and Administrative Agent have agreed
to amend and restate the Existing Restated Credit Agreement pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement of even date herewith, by and among Borrower, Lenders and Administrative Agent (as such may be amended, amended and
restated, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), which will evidence the loans made by the Lender Parties prior to the date hereof. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings (i) specified in Section 36 hereof or (ii) specified in the Credit Agreement, and the principles of construction contained in Section 1.04 of the Credit Agreement shall apply herein as if set
forth herein. 
 The Guarantors are party to that certain Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2015, by
Parent Guarantor and the other Guarantors in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Restated Guaranty”). 

As a condition to the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors have agreed to execute this Guaranty in favor of
Administrative Agent and amend and restate the Existing Restated Guaranty, as herein provided. 
 Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor are
direct or indirect subsidiaries of Parent Guarantor, and Parent Guarantor and each Subsidiary Guarantor will benefit, directly or indirectly from the financial accommodations provided by the Lender Parties to Borrower. 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of credit and/or financial accommodation heretofore
or hereafter from time to time made or granted to Borrower by Lender Parties pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Guarantor hereby furnishes its guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined) in favor
of Administrative Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Lender Parties, as follows: 

	1.	Guaranty. Each Guarantor jointly and severally hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due,
whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of every kind, nature and character, direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of Borrower to the Lender Parties under the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Lender Parties in connection with the collection or enforcement
thereof), and whether recovery upon such indebtedness and liabilities may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor under the
Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar
debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and including interest that accrues after
the commencement by or against Borrower of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations
shall, absent manifest error, be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be
affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or
extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under
this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the guaranty granted by any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the
“Luxembourg Guarantor”) under this Guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower shall be limited at any time to an aggregate amount not exceeding 90% of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s own funds (“capitaux
propres”), as referred to in the article 34 of the Luxembourg law dated 19 December 2002 relating to the Register of Commerce and Companies as well as the accounting and the annual accounts of companies, as amended, determined in its
last accounts duly approved and available, as at the date on which a demand is made under this Guaranty. 
 2. Taxes; Payments. Each Guarantor
represents and warrants that it is organized and resident in the United States of America, except as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto or, in the case of an Additional Guarantor, in the applicable Addendum to Guaranty (as hereinafter
defined). Each Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, subject to the provisions of Section 2.08 of the Credit Agreement and the related
defined terms therein. Each Guarantor shall make all payments to Administrative Agent under this Guaranty at the Administrative Agent’s office in New York, New York. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. 

  
 2 

 3. Rights of Administrative Agent. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that Administrative Agent may, at
any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the
terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any collateral security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations;
(c) apply such collateral security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of any Guarantor under this Guaranty or
which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of any Guarantor. 
 4. Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense
arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of Administrative Agent) of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor;
(b) any defense based on any claim that any Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any
right to require Administrative Agent to proceed against Borrower or any other Guarantor, proceed against or exhaust any collateral security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent’s power whatsoever;
(e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent; (f) any bankruptcy or insolvency of Borrower; (g) any change in ownership of Borrower or any other Guarantor; (h) any
defense based on any act or failure to act of Administrative Agent referred to in Section 3; and (i) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by
applicable Law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties including any defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for
payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of
acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. 
 5. Obligations Independent.
The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against each
Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party. 
 6. Representations and Warranties.
Each Guarantor represents and warrants that: 
 (a) It (i) is duly organized, incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good
standing (if applicable) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, incorporation or formation, (ii) is duly qualified and in good standing (if applicable) as a foreign corporation or other applicable entity in each other
jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property or in which the conduct of its business requires it to so qualify or be licensed and where, in each case, failure so to qualify and be in good standing could have a Material Adverse Effect, and
(iii) has all requisite company or corporate power and authority to own or lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted. 

  
 3 

 (b) The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty and the other Loan
Documents to which it is a party and the grant by such Guarantor of any security interest contemplated thereby are within its company or corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary company or corporate action, and do not

bound, (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Liens upon any property or assets of such Guarantor (other than Permitted Liens), or (iv) violate any Law (including, but not limited to, the Securities Act of 1933 and
the Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder) or writ, judgment, injunction, determination or award. 
 (c) Neither such Guarantor nor any
Subsidiary thereof (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) has incurred any Debt, other than Debt permitted by Section 8(d). Such Guarantor has delivered to Lenders copies of all material documentation relating to such Debt listed on
Schedule 8(d) certified by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Guarantor as being true, correct and complete. 
 (d) Except for
any filings specifically provided for in any Security Document to which such Guarantor is a party, no order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption or waiver by, any
Governmental Authority or any other third party (except as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect), is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, (i) the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor
of this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or (iii) the creation, validity or
perfection of the Liens created by the Security Documents to which it is a party; provided that, after the date hereof, the registration of the Guaranty with the Administration de l’enregistrement et des Domaines may be requested in case of
legal proceedings before a Luxembourg courts or when the Guaranty has to be produced before an official Luxembourg authority. 
 (e) Such
Guarantor and each Subsidiary thereof (other than any Excluded Subsidiary, if applicable) is in compliance with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such
instances in which (i) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, or (ii) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Documents or agreements governing permitted Debt existing on the Second Restatement Date or (ii) existing under agreements governing Debt permitted by Section 8(d) as long as such restrictions and encumbrances are no more
restrictive than those existing on the Second Restatement Date. 
 9. Covenants of Subsidiary Guarantors and Additional Guarantors. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor and Additional Guarantor agrees to be bound by and to comply with each covenant in Section 7 and Section 8 hereof insofar as each such covenant is applicable to it or to the extent compliance by Parent
Guarantor with such covenant would require that such Subsidiary Guarantor or Additional Guarantor take or refrain from taking any action, and the compliance or non-compliance with each such covenant shall be determined by reference to the actions of
each Subsidiary Guarantor or Additional Guarantor in addition to those of Parent Guarantor. Section 7 and Section 8 are hereby incorporated by reference as direct covenants of each Subsidiary Guarantor and
Additional Guarantor, mutatis mutandis. 
 10. Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity,
reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been paid and performed in full and any commitments of Administrative
Agent or facilities provided by Administrative Agent with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the
benefit of Administrative Agent and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. 

11. Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and
shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable (other than contingent indemnity obligations) under this Guaranty are paid in full in cash and any commitments of Administrative Agent or facilities
provided by Administrative Agent with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of
Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or Administrative Agent exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not Administrative Agent is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission,
termination or reduction. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty. 

  
 16 

 12. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of
Borrower owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to, any obligation of Borrower to such Guarantor as subrogee of Administrative Agent or any Lender Party or resulting from such Guarantor’s
performance under this Guaranty, to the payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. If Administrative Agent so requests, any such obligation or indebtedness of Borrower to such Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such
Guarantor as trustee for Administrative Agent and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this
Guaranty. 
 13. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in
connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by such Guarantor immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent. 

14. Expenses. Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to pay on demand all out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and
the allocated cost and disbursements of internal legal counsel) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of Administrative Agent’s rights under this Guaranty or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any incurred during
any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of Administrative Agent in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws. The obligations
of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. 

15. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by
Administrative Agent and each Guarantor. No failure by Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The
unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and each Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not
intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by any Guarantor for the benefit of Administrative Agent or any term or provision thereof. 

16. Condition of Borrower and Other Guarantors. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means
of, obtaining from Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of Borrower and any such other guarantor as such Guarantor requires, and that no Lender Party has any duty, and such
Guarantor is not relying on any Lender Party at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of Borrower or any other guarantor (the guarantor waiving any duty on the part of any
Lender Party to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same). 

  
 17 

 17. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made hereunder or in connection
herewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party, regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any
other Lender Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any
Guaranteed Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 
 18. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of
each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that: (a)(i) the services regarding this Guaranty
provided by Administrative Agent, the other Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Guarantor and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and the
other Lender Parties, on the other hand, (ii) such Guarantor has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) such Guarantor is capable of evaluating, and understands
and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly
agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Guarantor or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) Administrative Agent and the other Lender
Parties have no obligation to such Guarantor or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) Administrative Agent, the
other Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Guarantor and its Affiliates, and Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties have no
obligations to disclose any of such interests to such Guarantor or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, such Guarantor hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent, any other Lender
Party or their respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 

19. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender Party that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on
behalf of any other Lender Party) hereby notifies each Guarantor that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of each Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender Party or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to
identify each Guarantor in accordance with the Act. Guarantor agrees to promptly provide any Lender Party or Administrative Agent with all of the information requested by such Person to the extent such Person deems such information reasonably
necessary to identify each Guarantor in accordance with the Act. 
 20. Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Credit
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Pledge Agreement (Other Equity), the Group Entity Acknowledgments, the Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

  
 18 

 21. Maximum Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Guaranty or any other Loan
Document to the contrary, no Guarantor resident in or otherwise subject to the laws of Canada will be obliged to make any payment of interest or other amounts payable to any Lender Party in excess of the amount or rate that would be permitted by
applicable Law or would result in the receipt by the Lender Parties of interest at a criminal rate (with “interest” and “criminal rate” being construed as contemplated under the Criminal Code (Canada)). If the making of
any payment by such Guarantor would result in a payment being made that is in excess of such amount or rate, the applicable Lender Party will determine the payment or payments that are to be reduced or refunded, as the case may be, so that such
result does not occur. 
 22. Interest Act (Canada). For the purposes of this Guaranty, whenever interest to be paid by a Guarantor resident in or
otherwise subject to the laws of Canada is to be calculated on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent
is the rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or such other number of days in such period, as the case may be. 

23. Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party, and each of its Affiliates
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held,
and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by Administrative Agent or such Lender Party or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of each Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of such Guarantor now or
hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to Administrative Agent or such Lender Party or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Person or Affiliate shall have made any demand hereunder or under any other Loan
Document and although such obligations of such Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Person or Lender Party different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on
such indebtedness. The rights of Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Administrative Agent and such Lender Party or its
Affiliates may have. Each Lender Party agrees to notify such Guarantor and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and
application. 
 24. Indemnification; Consequential Damages and Survival. 

(a) Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each other Lender Party and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Guarantor or any Related Party of any Guarantor arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the administration of this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the 

  
 19 

 
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Guarantor or any Related Party of any Guarantor, and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 24(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses,
claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor shall not
assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Subsection (a) above
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Guaranty
or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 (c) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable
not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor. 
 (d) The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section shall survive
the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. 
 25. Governing Law; Assignment; Jurisdiction; Notices. This
Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law. This Guaranty shall
(a) bind each Guarantor and its successors and assigns, provided that no Guarantor may assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (and any attempted assignment without such
consent shall be void), and (b) inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns and Administrative Agent may, without notice to any Guarantor and without affecting any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, assign,
sell or grant participations in the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, in whole or in part. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of the
State of New York, and all appropriate appellate courts or, if jurisdiction in such court is lacking, any New York State court of competent jurisdiction sitting in New York County (and all appropriate appellate courts), in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, in such Federal court, (iii) waives to the fullest extent permitted by law (A) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty
or any other Loan Document in any such Federal or state court and (B) any defense asserting an inconvenient forum in connection therewith, and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may
be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guaranty or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document against any Guarantor or 

  
 20 

 
the properties of such party in the courts of any jurisdiction. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in
Section 8.02(a) of the Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. Each Guarantor agrees that Administrative Agent may
disclose to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations hereunder any and all information in Administrative Agent’s possession concerning any Guarantor, this Guaranty and
any security for this Guaranty. All notices and other communications to any Guarantor and Administrative Agent under this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be delivered in the manner set forth in Section 8.02 of the Credit
Agreement to the addresses specified therein for such Person. 
 26. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT
OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 27. Enforcement of Guaranty. Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty with respect to all or a portion of
the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that no failure on the part of any Lender Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall the single or partial exercise of
any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. 
 28. Judgment Currency. 

(a) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due to a Lender Party in any currency (the
“Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the Lender Parties and the Guarantors agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in
accordance with normal banking procedures, such Lender Party could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given or, if permitted by applicable law, on the day on which
the judgment is paid or satisfied. 
 29. The obligations of any Guarantor not resident in the U.S. in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from
it to a Lender Party under any of the Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender Party of any sum adjudged to be so due in the
Other Currency, the Lender Party may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender Party
in the Original Currency, each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment, to indemnify such Lender Party, against any loss, and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the
sum originally due to such Lender Party in the Original Currency, such Lender Party shall remit such excess to the applicable Guarantor. 

  
 21 

 30. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between
the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof. 

31. Additional Guarantors. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, pursuant to Section 7(j) or
Section 8(n), as the case may be, additional Subsidiaries of Parent Guarantor or newly formed or acquired wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Parent Guarantor may become parties hereto as additional Guarantors (“Additional
Guarantors”) by executing an Addendum to Guaranty substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (an “Addendum to Guaranty”). Upon delivery of any Addendum to Guaranty to the Administrative Agent,
notice of which is hereby waived by the Guarantors, each such Additional Guarantor shall be a Guarantor hereunder and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Guarantor were an original signatory hereto as of the date of such Addendum
to Guaranty. Each Guarantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder, nor by any election of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties not
to cause any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent Guarantor to become an Additional Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty shall be fully effective as to any Guarantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or
fails to become or ceases to be a Guarantor hereunder. 
 32. Fulghum Fibres, Inc. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, it is
not the intent of any party hereto to grant any security interest in the assets of Fulghum Fibres, Inc. (other than equity interests in Fulghum Fibres Chile S.A.). 

33. Limitation of Guaranty. Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate
amount for which any Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, as it relates to such Guarantor, subject to avoidance
under applicable requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any
applicable provisions of comparable requirements of Law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Guaranty for purposes of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of
contribution established in Section 34 and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made under the Guaranty. 

34. Contribution. To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation exceeding the greater of
(a) the amount of the value actually received by such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries from the Loans and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by Borrower) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on such date, then
such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Guarantors on such date. 

  
 22 

 35. Amendment and Restatement. This Guaranty amends and restates the Existing Restated Guaranty. All
obligations evidenced by the Existing Restated Guaranty that remain outstanding and in effect as of the Second Restatement Date are continued by this Guaranty with such modifications as are set forth herein.

Holder Group Member) shall be subject to the following:

proceeds of such sale for its own account. 
 (ii) If the volume weighted average price per Common Unit on the Trading Market for the day
immediately preceding the proposed date of the CVR Unit Sale is greater than the Call Price, then such Holder must notify the Company in writing (the “CVR Unit Sale Notice”) of its intention to sell all or any portion of its CVR
Units and specify the volume weighted average price per Common Unit on the Trading Market for the day immediately prior to the date of such notice. The Company may exercise the Repurchase Right with respect to the CVR Units of such Holder by

shall notify CVR’s transfer agent that the CVR Units to be purchased by the Company at the Repurchase Closing shall be transferred to the account of the Company and (ii) the Company shall deliver by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to each Holder the Call Price for each of such Holder’s applicable CVR Units.

against, any Indemnified Party in connection with or arising or resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company or DSHC set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 5.1(g) (the “Indemnified Liabilities”). Each Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnitor prompt written notice of any claim asserted in writing against such Indemnified Party that would reasonably be expected to
give rise to Indemnified Liabilities setting forth a description of the nature and basis of such claim of which such Indemnified Party has knowledge; provided, however that any delay or failure to give such notice shall not affect the
obligations of the Indemnitor unless (and then solely to the extent) such Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnitor shall have the right at any time during which such claim is pending to select counsel to defend
and control the defense thereof and settle any claims for which it is responsible for indemnification hereunder (provided, however that the Indemnitor will not settle any such claim without (i) the appropriate Indemnified
Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) obtaining an 

  
 15 

 
unconditional release of the appropriate Indemnified Party from all claims arising out of the claim with no admission of wrongdoing by the appropriate Indemnified Party). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to control the defense of any claim in the event that based upon the advice of counsel for the Indemnified Party, there are one or more material defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are
not available to the Indemnitor; provided, however; that with respect to any claim as to which the Indemnified Party is controlling the defense, the Indemnitor will not be liable to any Indemnified Party for any settlement of any claim
pursuant to this Section 4.9 that is effected without its prior written consent. In no event shall the Indemnitor be required to pay the fees and expenses for more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties.

agreement by and among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior negotiations, writings and understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person not a
party hereto (or their successors and permitted assigns) any rights or remedies hereunder. 
 Section 6.4 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party
hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that the Holders Representative may provide any such consent on behalf of the Holders. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this
Agreement shall be null and void ab initio.

except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the Company and the Holders’ Representative. Any party hereto may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by any other party or parties hereto with any term or provision
hereof on the part of such other party or parties hereto to be performed or complied with; provided that the Holders’ Representative may execute such waivers on behalf of any Holder. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any
right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right or power. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any term or provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder. 
 Section 6.6 Interpretation; Absence of
Presumption. 
 (a) For the purposes hereof: (i) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words

to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the Exhibits) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and Schedule references are to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, and Exhibits to this
Agreement unless otherwise specified; (iii) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise
specified; and (iv) the word “or” shall not be exclusive. 

  
 19 

 (b) With regard to each and every term and condition of this Agreement and any and all agreements
and instruments subject to the terms hereof, the parties hereto understand and agree that the same have or has been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, and if at any time the parties hereto desire or are required to interpret or construe any

subject hereto. 
 (c) The Section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect
the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

this Agreement may be transmitted by PDF (portable document format) or facsimile and such PDFs or facsimiles will be deemed as sufficient as if actual signatures pages had been delivered. 

Section 6.8 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby, including accounting and legal fees shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses. 

Section 6.9 Severability. Any provision hereof that is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of
competent jurisdiction, shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof, provided, however, that the parties will attempt in good faith to
reform this Agreement in a manner consistent with the intent of any such ineffective provision for the purpose of carrying out such intent. 

Section 6.10 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could occur and that the a party may not have
any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each party shall without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money

EXECUTION COPY

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated as of August 7, 2015, by and between Hemisphere Media Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Vicky Bathija (“Executive”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive and Executive is willing to serve the Company for the period and upon such other terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS Executive’s agreement to enter into this Agreement and be bound by the terms hereof, including the restrictive covenants herein, is a material inducement to the Company’s willingness to grant stock options and restricted stock to Executive and the Company would not otherwise grant such stock options and restricted stock to Executive if Executive did not agree to enter into this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as set forth below:

 

1.                                      Term.  (a)  The term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be effective on August 7, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), and shall continue until December 31, 2018 (the “Initial Expiration Date”), provided that on the Initial Expiration Date and each subsequent anniversary of the Initial Expiration Date, the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be extended for one additional year unless either party provides written notice to the other party at least 270 days prior to the Initial Expiration Date (or any such anniversary, as applicable) that Executive’s employment hereunder shall not be so extended (in which case Executive’s employment shall terminate on the Initial Expiration Date or expiration of the extended term, as applicable); provided, however, that Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated at any time pursuant to the provisions of Section 4. The period of time from the Effective Date through the termination of this Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder pursuant to its terms is herein referred to as the “Term”; and the date on which the Term is scheduled to expire (i.e., the Initial Expiration Date or the scheduled expiration of the extended term, if applicable) is herein referred to as the “Expiration Date”.

 

(b)                                 Executive agrees and acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to extend the Term or to continue Executive’s employment following the Expiration Date, and Executive expressly acknowledges that no promises or understandings to the contrary have been made or reached. Executive also agrees and acknowledges that, should Executive and the Company choose to continue Executive’s employment for any period of time following the Expiration Date without extending the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement or entering into a new written employment agreement, Executive’s employment with the Company shall be “at will”, such that the Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, with or without reason and with or without notice, and Executive may resign at any time, with or without reason and with or without notice.

 

(c)                                  For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms, as used herein, shall have the definitions set forth below.

 

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with, such specified Person, provided that, in any event, any business in which the Company has any direct or indirect ownership interest shall be treated as an Affiliate of the Company.

 

“Change in Control” has the meaning set forth in the Plan.

 

 

“Control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “Controlled by” and “under common Control with”), as used with respect to any Person, means the direct or indirect possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

 

“Governmental Entity” means any national, state, county, local, municipal or other government or any court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality.

 

“Person” means any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, joint venture, association, Governmental Entity, unincorporated entity or other entity.

 

“Plan” means the Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

2.                                      Duties and Responsibilities.  (a)  During the Term, Executive agrees to be employed and devote substantially all of Executive’s business time and efforts to the Company and the promotion of its interests and the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder as Executive Vice President, Corporate Development and Investor Relations (“EVP”), upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Executive shall perform such lawful duties and responsibilities as directed from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (“CFO”) that are customary for a EVP of a corporation of the size and nature of the Company.

 

(b)                                 During the Term, Executive shall report directly to the CFO. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s duties and responsibilities shall require Executive to travel on business to the extent necessary to fully perform Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder. It is anticipated that Executive shall physically be on Company premises (or traveling on Company business) during normal business hours (unless absent due to vacation, injury, illness or other approved leave of absence).

 

(c)                                  During the Term, Executive shall use Executive’s best efforts to faithfully and diligently serve the Company and shall not act in any capacity that is in conflict with Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder; provided, however, Executive may manage Executive’s personal investments and affairs and participate in non-profit, educational, charitable and civic activities, to the extent that such activities do not interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, and are not in conflict with the business interests of the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise compete with the Company or its Affiliates. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, for the avoidance of doubt, during the Term Executive shall not be permitted to become engaged in or render services for any Person other than the Company and its Affiliates, and shall not be permitted to be a member of the board of directors of any company, in any case without the consent of the Company (for all purposes under this Agreement, any required consent of the Company shall be evidenced by a duly authorized resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”)).

 

3.                                      Compensation and Related Matters.  (i)  Base Salary.  During the Term, for all services rendered under this Agreement, Executive shall receive an aggregate annual base salary (“Base Salary”) at an initial rate of $350,000 (which shall be increased by 5% on each anniversary of the Effective Date), payable in accordance with the Company’s applicable payroll practices. Base Salary shall be subject to review by the Board annually for increases, but not decreases, deemed necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion. References in this Agreement to “Base Salary” shall be deemed to refer to the most recently effective annual base salary rate.

 

2

 

(b)                                 Annual Bonus.

 

(i)                                     During the Term, subject to Section 4(b), for each calendar year, Executive shall have the opportunity to earn an annual bonus (“Annual Bonus”) based on performance against specified objective (including budgetary or EBITDA-based) performance criteria (“Performance Goals”) established by the Board prior to or as soon as practicable following each calendar year (or within 90 days following the Effective Date, in the case of calendar year 2015), which goals shall be substantially consistent with, but to the extent applicable, no less favorable than, the performance goals applicable to the annual bonus for the CFO, subject to Executive’s continued employment through December 31 of each such calendar year. Executive’s target annual bonus (“Target Bonus”) shall be $100,000 if the Company achieves at least 100% of its Performance Goals, which bonus shall be pro-rated for calendar year 2015 and the year of termination of employment to reflect in each case the period of Executive’s employment with the Company during such year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Executive’s continued employment through December 31 of each such calendar year, if the Company achieves greater than or equal to 80% of its Performance Goals, the Annual Bonus for calendar year 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 shall be not less than $60,000, which bonus shall be pro-rated for calendar year 2015 and the year of termination of employment to reflect in each case the period of Executive’s employment with the Company during such year, with the actual Annual Bonus determined by linear interpolation based on the Company’s achievement of Performance Goals between 80% and 100%. If the Company achieves greater than 100% of its Performance Goals and the CFO therefore receives an annual bonus greater than the target bonus prescribed in the CFO’s employment agreement, the Annual Bonus for Executive shall be increased beyond the Target Bonus level by the same percentage as that by which the CFO’s annual bonus was increased beyond the CFO’s target bonus level.

 

(ii)                                  Any Annual Bonus payable for any calendar year shall be paid in cash as soon as practicable following the determination of the Company’s performance results for such calendar year, but in  no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year to which such Annual Bonus relates.

 

(c)                                  Equity.  As promptly as practicable following the Effective Date, the Company shall grant Executive, pursuant to, and subject to, the terms of the Plan and an option grant certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, an option (the “Option”) to purchase 100,000 shares of Company common stock (the “Stock”). Each share of Stock subject to the Option shall have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of Stock on the date of grant. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Date, the Company shall grant Executive pursuant to, and subject to, the terms of the Plan and a restricted stock certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, 25,000 restricted shares of Stock.

 

(d)                                 Benefits and Perquisites.  During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the benefit plans and programs commensurate with Executive’s position, that are provided by the Company from time to time for its senior executives generally, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans.

 

(e)                                  Business Expense Reimbursements.  During the Term, the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for Executive’s reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred in connection with performing Executive’s duties hereunder in accordance with its then-prevailing policies and procedures for expense reimbursement (which shall include appropriate itemization and substantiation of expenses incurred).

(f)                                   Vacation.  During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to four weeks paid vacation each calendar year, in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy to be taken at such times as may be mutually agreed by Executive and the Company. Unused vacation in any calendar year shall be carried over to the next calendar year; provided that, in no event shall Executive’s eligible vacation time exceed 8 weeks in any calendar year.

 

(g)                                  Relocation Expenses.  Within thirty (30) days of  Executive’s relocation to the Miami, Florida metropolitan area, or if later, within thirty (30) days of a reimbursable expense being incurred by Executive, the Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable costs in connection with such relocation on a fully grossed-up basis, including two (2) to three (3) house hunting trips and broker-related fees incurred in connection with such house-hunting trips, if any, and Executive’s COBRA continuation coverage expenses until such time Executive is eligible to be covered under the Company’s health benefits plan, subject to appropriate itemization and substantiation of expenses incurred.

 

(h)                                 Ancillary Fees.  The Company shall reimburse the Executive within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date his reasonable unanticipated fees incurred in connection with his relocation that are not otherwise covered pursuant to Section 3(g) or in excess of the amounts allocated therein, up to a maximum of $5,000, subject to appropriate itemization and substantiation of expenses incurred. Additionally, the Company shall be responsible for paying all fees and expenses (including, attorney’s fees) related to the transfer of Executive’s and his family’s H-1B Visa and corresponding applications for green cards with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office or other government agencies.

 

(i)                                     Indemnification.  The Company agrees that in the event Executive is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any pending, contemplated or threatened action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal (each a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that Executive is or was, or had agreed to become an officer, employee, agent, representative or fiduciary of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a board member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another Person, the Company shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by the Company’s governing documents or, if greater, by applicable law (but not in any event in contravention of the Company’s governing documents), against all expenses, damages, liabilities and losses incurred by Executive, provided that Executive acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided, further, that Executive shall not be entitled to any such indemnification (A) in respect of any Proceeding based upon or attributable to Executive gaining in fact any personal profit or advantage to which he is not entitled or resulting from Executive’s fraudulent, dishonest or willful misconduct, (B) to the extent Executive has already received indemnification or payment pursuant to the Company’s operating agreement or other governing documents, D&O insurance or otherwise or (C) in respect of any Proceeding initiated by Executive, unless the Company has joined in or the Board has authorized such Proceeding. Expenses incurred by Executive in defending any claim shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such claim upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of Executive to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to this Section 3(i). To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy covering the errors and omissions of its Board members and officers, Executive shall be covered by such policy during the Term and for six years following Executive’s termination of employment in a manner no less favorable than Board members and other officers of the Company.

4.                                      Termination of Employment.  (i)  Executive’s employment may be terminated by either party at any time and for any reason; provided, however, that Executive shall be required to give the Company at least 60 days advance written notice of any voluntary resignation of Executive’s employment hereunder (and in such event the Company in its sole discretion may elect to accelerate Executive’s date of termination of employment, it being understood that such termination shall still be treated as a voluntary resignation for purposes of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s employment shall automatically terminate upon Executive’s death.

 

(b)                                 Following any termination of Executive’s employment, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the Company to pay or provide Executive with compensation and benefits under Section 3 shall cease, and the Company shall have no further obligations to provide compensation or benefits to Executive hereunder except (i) for payment of (w) any accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination, (x) any unpaid Annual Bonus for the year prior to the year in which termination occurs, (y) any accrued but unused vacation days, and (z) any unreimbursed expenses under Section 3(e), in each case accrued or incurred through the date of termination of employment, payable as soon as practicable and in all events within 30 days following termination of employment, (ii) as explicitly set forth in any other benefit plans, programs or arrangements applicable to terminated employees in which Executive participates, other than severance plans or policies, and (iii) as otherwise expressly required by applicable law (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”). For the avoidance of doubt, (A) any Annual Bonus for the year of termination of employment is forfeited if Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause or resignation by Executive other than for Good Reason, and (B) in the case of Executive’s death, any payments to be made to Executive in accordance with this Section 4 shall be paid to Executive’s beneficiaries, devisees, heirs, legates or estate, as applicable.

 

(c)                                  (i)                                     Except as otherwise provided herein, if Executive’s employment is terminated (I) by the Company without Cause (other than due to death or Disability (as defined below), or due to the Company’s election not to extend the Term beyond the scheduled expiration of the Term on the Expiration Date as contemplated under Section 1(a)), or (II) by the Executive for Good Reason, then Executive, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, shall be entitled to receive an aggregate amount equal to (A) the sum of (x) Executive’s Base Salary and (y) the Target Bonus (the “Severance Payment”), plus (B) the product of (x) the actual Annual Bonus that Executive would have been entitled to receive for the year of termination had Executive continued to be employed through the end of the calendar year in which such termination occurs, and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days Executive was employed in the calendar year of termination, and the denominator of which is 365 (the “Pro Rata Bonus”). The Severance Payment shall be paid during the 12-month period immediately following such termination in substantially equal installments consistent with the Company’s payroll practices, and the Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid on the date that other executives are paid their annual bonuses in respect of the year in which Executive’s termination occurs.

 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time within 60 days before, or 12 months following, a Change in Control, Executive’s employment is terminated (I) by the Company without Cause (other than due to death or Disability, or due to the Company’s election not to extend the Term beyond the scheduled expiration of the Term on the Expiration Date as contemplated under Section 1(a)), or (II) by the Executive for Good Reason, then Executive, in addition to the Accrued Obligations but in lieu of the payments described in Section 4(c)(i), shall be entitled to receive an aggregate amount equal to (A) two times the Severance Payment plus (B) the  product of (x) the Target Bonus for the year of termination, and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days Executive was employed in the calendar year

 

5

 

of termination, and the denominator of which is 365. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time following a Change in Control, if Executive’s employment is terminated due to the Company’s election not to extend the Term beyond the scheduled expiration of the Term on the Expiration Date as contemplated under Section 1(a), then Executive, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, shall be entitled to the Severance Payment. All payments described in this Section 4(c)(ii) shall be paid in cash in a lump sum within 30 business days following the execution of the Release that has become irrevocable by its terms; provided, that to the extent any portion of such lump sum payment would violate Section 409A (as defined below), then such portion shall be paid during the 12-month period immediately following such termination in substantially equal installments consistent with the Company’s payroll practices.

 

(iii)                               If Executive’s employment is terminated due to death or by the Company due to Disability, for Cause (but only pursuant to Section 4(c)(v)(D) and not pursuant to Sections 4(c)(v)(A)-(C)), or due to the Company’s election not to extend the Term beyond the scheduled expiration date of the Term on the Expiration Date as contemplated under Section 1(a), then Executive, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, shall be entitled to receive payment of the Pro Rata Bonus, payable no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive’s termination of employment occurs. In addition to the foregoing, if Executive’s employment is terminated due to the Company’s election not to extend the Term beyond the scheduled expiration of the Term on the Expiration Date as contemplated under Section 1(a) prior to a Change in Control, then Executive shall be entitled to continued payment of Executive’s Base Salary during the 6-month period immediately following such termination, in substantially equal installments consistent with the Company’s payroll practices.

 

(iv)                              Any payments or benefits under Section 4(c)(i), 4(c)(ii) or 4(c)(iii) shall be (A) conditioned upon Executive and the Company having executed a mutual, irrevocable waiver and general release of claims substantially in a form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Release”) that has become effective in accordance with its terms, (B) subject to Executive’s continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement and (C) subject to Section 25.

 

(v)                                 For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means: (A) Executive’s willful refusal to perform his duties for the Company, which refusal or failure remains uncured for 15 days after he receives written notice from the Board demanding cure; (B) in carrying out his duties under the employment agreement, Executive engages in willful  misconduct, or gross neglect, that in either case causes material economic harm to the Company’s business or reputation; (C) Executive is convicted of, or enters a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony and such conviction or plea has a material adverse effect on his ability to perform his duties for the Company or causes material harm to the Company or its Affiliates; or (D) (i) if Executive’s employment authorization expires (and no renewal application is pending before a government agency in the normal course) or is revoked (and such expiration or revocation is not caused by the Company’s bad faith efforts), or (ii) Executive’s ability to conduct his duties hereunder is otherwise adversely affected by Executive’s immigration or work authorization status.

 

(vi)                              For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means Executive would be entitled to long-term disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan as in effect from time to time, without regard to any waiting or elimination period under such plan and assuming for the purpose of such determination that Executive is actually participating in such plan at such time. If the Company does not maintain a long-term disability plan, “Disability” means Executive’s inability to perform Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder due to physical or mental illness or

 

6

 

incapacity that is expected to last for a consecutive period of 90 days or for a period of 120 days in any 365 day period as determined by the Board in its good faith judgment.

 

(vii)                           For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events without Executive’s prior express written consent: (A) any reduction in Executive’s Base Salary or Target Bonus, or any material diminution in Executive’s authorities, titles or offices, or the assignment to him of duties that materially impair his ability to perform the duties normally assigned to the EVP of a corporation of the size and nature of the Company; (B) any change in the reporting structure so that Executive reports other than to the CFO; (C) any relocation of Executive’s principal place of employment, to a location outside of the Miami, Florida metropolitan area; (D) any material breach by the Company, or any of its Affiliates, of any material obligation to Executive; or (E) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption in writing of its obligation to perform this Agreement by any successor to all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company within 15 days after any merger, consolidation, sale or similar transaction; provided however, that prior to resigning for Good Reason, Executive shall give written notice to the Company of the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such resignation not more than thirty (30) days following his knowledge of such facts and circumstances, and the Company shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to cure such facts and circumstances (and if so cured then Executive shall not be permitted to resign for Good Reason in respect thereof).

 

(d)                                 Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, upon the Company’s request Executive agrees to resign, as of the date of such termination of employment or such other date requested, from the Board and any committees thereof (and, if applicable, from the board of directors (and any committees thereof) of any Affiliate of the Company) to the extent Executive is then serving thereon.

 

(e)                                  The payment of any amounts accrued under any benefit plan, program or arrangement in which Executive participates shall be subject to the terms of the applicable plan, program or arrangement, and any elections Executive has made thereunder. Except as prohibited by the terms of any Company benefit plan, program or arrangement, the Company may offset any amounts due and payable by Executive to the Company or its subsidiaries against any amounts the Company owes Executive hereunder; provided, however, no offsets shall be permitted against amounts that constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A. Except as set forth in this Section 4(e), Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment or to otherwise mitigate the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, and there shall be no offset against amounts or benefits due to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise on account of any claim (other than any preexisting debts then due in accordance with their terms) the Company or its affiliates may have against him or any remuneration or other benefit earned or received by the Executive after such termination.

 

5.                                      Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. For purposes of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of this Agreement, references to the Company shall include its subsidiaries and Affiliates.

 

(a)                                 Executive agrees that Executive shall not, while an employee of the Company and during the one-year period following termination of employment (such collective duration, the “Restriction Period”), directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company:

 

(i)                                     (A) engage in activities or businesses (including without limitation by owning any interest in, managing, controlling, participating in, consulting with, advising, rendering services for, or in any manner engaging in the business of owning, operating or managing any business) anywhere in the world that are principally or primarily in the business of producing Spanish

 

7

 

language media content, or owning or operating Hispanic television networks (“Competitive Activities”) or (B) assisting any Person in any way to do, or attempt to do, anything prohibited by this Section 5(a)(i)(A) above; or

 

(ii)                                  perform any action, activity or course of conduct which is substantially detrimental to the businesses or business reputations of the Company, including (A) soliciting, recruiting or hiring (or attempting to solicit, recruit or hire) any employees of the Company or Persons who have worked for the Company during the 12-month period immediately preceding such solicitation, recruitment or hiring or attempt thereof; (B) soliciting or encouraging (or attempting to solicit or encourage) any employee of the Company to leave the employment of the Company; (C) intentionally interfering with the relationship of the Company with any Person who or which is employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for, or any customer, client, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of, the Company; or (D) assisting any Person in any way to do, or attempt to do, anything prohibited by Section 5(a)(ii)(A), (B) or (C) above.

 

The Restriction Period shall be tolled during (and shall be deemed automatically extended by) any period in which Executive is in violation of the provisions of this Section 5(a).

 

(b)                                 The provisions of Section 5(a) shall not be deemed breached as a result of Executive’s passive ownership of less than an aggregate of 3% of any class of securities of a Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in Competitive Activities, so long as Executive does not actively participate in the business of such Person; provided, however, that such stock is listed on a national securities exchange.

 

(c)                                  Without limiting the generality of Section 11, notwithstanding the fact that any provision of this Section 5 is determined not to be specifically enforceable, the Company may nevertheless be entitled to recover monetary damages as a result of Executive’s material breach of such provision.

 

(d)                                 Executive acknowledges that the Company has a legitimate business interest and right in protecting its Confidential Information (as defined below), business strategies, employee and customer relationships and goodwill, and that the Company would be seriously damaged by the disclosure of Confidential Information and the loss or deterioration of its business strategies, employee and customer relationships and goodwill. Executive acknowledges that Executive is being provided with significant additional consideration (to which Executive is not otherwise entitled), including stock options and restricted stock, to induce Executive to enter into this Agreement. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area. Executive further acknowledges that although Executive’s compliance with the covenants contained in Sections 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 may prevent Executive from earning a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company, Executive’s experience and capabilities are such that Executive has other opportunities to earn a livelihood and adequate means of support for Executive and Executive’s dependents.

 

6.                                      Nondisclosure of Confidential Information.  (i)  Executive acknowledges that Executive is and shall become familiar with the Company’s Confidential Information (as defined below), including trade secrets, and that Executive’s services are of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company. Executive acknowledges that the Confidential Information obtained by Executive while employed by the Company is the property of the Company. Therefore, Executive agrees that Executive shall not disclose to any unauthorized Person or use for Executive’s own purposes any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Company, unless and to the extent that the

 

8

 

aforementioned matters become generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive’s acts or omissions in violation of this Agreement; provided, however, that if Executive receives a request to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to a deposition, interrogatory, request for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand, governmental or regulatory process or similar process, (i) Executive shall promptly notify in writing the Company, and consult with and assist the Company in seeking a protective order or request for other appropriate remedy, (ii) in the event that such protective order or remedy is not obtained, or if the Company waives compliance with the terms hereof, Executive shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which, in the written opinion of Executive’s legal counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and shall exercise reasonable best efforts to provide that the receiving Person shall agree to treat such Confidential Information as confidential to the extent possible (and permitted under applicable law) in respect of the applicable proceeding or process and (iii) the Company shall be given an opportunity to review the Confidential Information prior to disclosure thereof.

 

(b)                                 For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information, observations and data concerning the business or affairs of the Company, including, without limitation, all business information (whether or not in written form) which relates to the Company, or its customers, suppliers or contractors or any other third parties in respect of which the Company has a business relationship or owes a duty of confidentiality, or their respective businesses or products, and which is not known to the public generally other than as a result of Executive’s breach of this Agreement, including but not limited to: technical information or reports; formulas; trade secrets; unwritten knowledge and “know-how”; operating instructions; training manuals; customer lists; customer buying records and habits; product sales records and documents, and product development, marketing and sales strategies; market surveys; marketing plans; profitability analyses; product cost; long-range plans; information relating to pricing, competitive strategies and new product development; information relating to any forms of compensation or other personnel-related information; contracts; and supplier lists. Confidential Information will not include such information known to Executive prior to Executive’s involvement with the Company or information rightfully obtained from a third party (other than pursuant to a breach by Executive of this Agreement). Without limiting the foregoing, Executive agrees to keep confidential the existence of, and any information concerning, any dispute between Executive and the Company, except that Executive may disclose information concerning such dispute to his immediate family, to the court that is considering such dispute or to Executive’s legal counsel and other professional advisors (provided that such counsel and other advisors agree not to disclose any such information other than as necessary to the prosecution or defense of such dispute).

 

(c)                                  Except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Agreement, Executive agrees that Executive shall not disclose the terms of this Agreement, except to Executive’s  immediate family and Executive’s financial and legal advisors, or as may be required by law or ordered by a court. Executive further agrees that any disclosure to Executive’s financial or legal advisors shall only be made after such advisors acknowledge and agree to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and its terms.

 

(d)                                 Executive further agrees that Executive will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employers or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by the former employer or other Person.

7.                                      Return of Property.  Executive acknowledges that all notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, records, files, lists, drawings, documents, models, equipment, property, computer, software or intellectual property relating to the businesses of the Company, in whatever form (including electronic), and all copies thereof, that are received or created by Executive while an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates (including but not limited to Confidential Information and Inventions (as defined below)) are and shall remain the property of the Company, and Executive shall immediately return such property to the Company upon the termination of Executive’s employment and, in any event, at the Company’s request. Executive further agrees that any property situated on the premises of, and owned by, the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by the Company’s personnel at any time with or without notice.

 

8.                                      Intellectual Property Rights.  (i)  Executive agrees that the results and proceeds of Executive’s services for the Company (including, but not limited to, any trade secrets, products, services, processes, know-how, designs, developments, innovations, analyses, drawings, reports, techniques, formulas, methods, developmental or experimental work, improvements, discoveries, inventions, ideas, source and object codes, programs, matters of a literary, musical, dramatic or otherwise creative nature, writings and other works of authorship) resulting from services performed while an employee of the Company and any works in progress, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, that were made, developed, conceived or reduced to practice or learned by Executive, either alone or jointly with others (collectively, “Inventions”), shall be works-made-for-hire and the Company shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all trade secret, patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “Proprietary Rights”) of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, with the right to use the same in perpetuity in any manner the Company determines in its sole discretion, without any further payment to Executive whatsoever. If, for any reason, any of such results and proceeds shall not legally be a work-made-for-hire and/or there are any Proprietary Rights which do not accrue to the Company under the immediately preceding sentence, then Executive hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign any and all of Executive’s right, title and interest thereto, including any and all Proprietary Rights of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to use the same in perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner determined by the Company without any further payment to Executive whatsoever. As to any Invention that Executive is required to assign, Executive shall promptly and fully disclose to the Company all information known to Executive concerning such Invention.

 

(b)                                 Executive agrees that, from time to time, as may be requested by the Company and at the Company’s sole cost and expense, Executive shall do any and all things that the Company may reasonably deem useful or desirable to establish or document the Company’s exclusive ownership throughout the United States of America or any other country of any and all Proprietary Rights in any such Inventions, including the execution of appropriate copyright and/or patent applications or assignments. To the extent Executive has any Proprietary Rights in the Inventions that cannot be assigned in the manner described above, Executive unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such Proprietary Rights. This Section 8(b) is subject to and shall not be deemed to limit, restrict or constitute any waiver by the Company of any Proprietary Rights of ownership to which the Company may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of the Company’s being Executive’s employer. Executive further agrees that, from time to time, as may be requested by the Company and at the Company’s sole cost and expense, Executive shall assist the Company in every proper and lawful way to obtain and from time to time enforce Proprietary Rights relating to Inventions in any and all countries. Executive shall execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including

 

10

 

appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining, and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, Executive shall execute, verify and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designees. Executive’s obligations under this Section 8 shall continue beyond the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.

 

(c)                                  Executive hereby waives and quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, that Executive now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company.

 

9.                                      Nondisparagement.  Executive shall not, whether in writing or orally, malign, denigrate or disparage the Company or its predecessors and successors, or any of the current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, members, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, with respect to any of their respective past or present activities, or otherwise publish (whether in writing or orally) statements that tend to portray any of the aforementioned parties in an unfavorable light; provided that nothing herein shall or shall be deemed to prevent or impair Executive from, in the course of and consistent with his duties for the Company, making public comments which include good faith, candid discussions, or acknowledgements regarding the Company’s performance or business, or discussing other officers, directors, and employees in connection with normal performance evaluations, or otherwise testifying truthfully in any legal or administrative proceeding where such testimony is compelled, or requested or from otherwise complying with legal requirements. The Company shall not, and shall instruct its senior executives not to, whether in writing or orally, malign, denigrate or disparage Executive, or otherwise publish (whether in writing or orally) statements that tend to portray Executive in an unfavorable light; provided that nothing herein shall or shall be deemed to prevent or impair the Company or any such executives discussing Executive in connection with normal performance evaluations or from testifying truthfully in any legal or administrative proceeding where such testimony is compelled, or requested or from otherwise complying with legal requirements.

 

10.                               Notification of Subsequent Employer.  Executive hereby agrees that prior to accepting employment with, or agreeing to provide services to, any other Person during any period during which Executive remains subject to any of the covenants set forth in Section 5, Executive shall provide such prospective employer with written notice of such provisions of this Agreement, with a copy of such notice delivered simultaneously to the Company.

 

11.                               Remedies and Injunctive Relief.  Executive acknowledges that a violation by Executive of any of the covenants contained in Section 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 would cause irreparable damage to the Company in an amount that would be material but not readily ascertainable, and that any remedy at law (including the payment of damages) would be inadequate. Accordingly, Executive agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall be entitled (without the necessity of showing economic loss or other actual damage) to injunctive relief (including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and/or permanent injunctions) in any court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or threatened breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies it may have. The preceding sentence shall not be construed as a waiver of the rights that the Company may have for damages under this Agreement or otherwise, and all of the Company’s rights shall be unrestricted.

 

12.                               Representations of Executive; Advice of Counsel.  (a)  Executive represents, warrants and covenants that as of the date hereof:  (i) Executive has the full right, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and perform Executive’s obligations hereunder, (ii) Executive is not bound

by any agreement that conflicts with or prevents or restricts the full performance of Executive’s duties and obligations to the Company hereunder during or after the Term and (iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not result in any breach or violation of, or a default under, any existing obligation, commitment or agreement to which Executive is subject.

 

(b)                                 Executive represents that, prior to execution of this Agreement, Executive has been advised by an attorney of Executive’s own selection regarding this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that Executive has entered into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily and with full knowledge and understanding of the provisions of this Agreement after being given the opportunity to consult with counsel. Executive further represents that in entering into this Agreement, Executive is not relying on any statements or representations made by any of the Company’s directors, officers, employees or agents which are not expressly set forth herein, and that Executive is relying only upon Executive’s own judgment and any advice provided by Executive’s attorney.

 

13.                               Cooperation.  Executive agrees that, upon reasonable notice and without the necessity of the Company obtaining a subpoena or court order, Executive shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with any suit, action or proceeding (or any appeal from any suit, action or proceeding), and any investigation and/or defense of any claims asserted against any of Executive and the Company, its respective Affiliates, their respective predecessors and successors, and all of the respective current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, members, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, which relates to events occurring during Executive’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates as to which Executive may have relevant information (including but not limited to furnishing relevant information and materials to the Company or its designee and/or providing testimony at depositions and at trial), provided that with respect to such cooperation occurring following termination of employment, the Company shall reimburse Executive for expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith, and further provided that any such cooperation occurring after the termination of Executive’s employment shall be scheduled to the extent reasonably practicable so as not to unreasonably interfere with Executive’s business or personal affairs.

 

14.                               Withholding Taxes.  The Company may deduct and withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other taxes as are required or permitted to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

 

15.                               Assignment.  (a)  This Agreement is personal to Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by Executive, except for the assignment by will or the laws of descent and distribution of any accrued pecuniary interest of Executive, and any assignment in violation of this Agreement shall be void. The Company may assign this Agreement, and its rights and obligations hereunder, to any of its Affiliates.

 

(b)                                 This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties to it and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns (including, without limitation, successors by merger, consolidation, sale or similar transaction, and, in the event of Executive’s death, Executive’s estate and heirs in the case of any payments due to Executive hereunder).

 

(c)                                  Executive acknowledges and agrees that all of Executive’s covenants and obligations to the Company, as well as the rights of the Company hereunder, shall run in favor of and shall be enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns.

 

16.                               Governing Law; No Construction Against Drafter.  This Agreement shall be deemed to be made in the State of Delaware, and the validity, interpretation, construction, and

 

12

 

performance of this Agreement in all respects shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. No provision of this Agreement or any related document will be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured or drafted such provision.

 

17.                               Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  (a)  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Executive and the Company each hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (or, if subject matter jurisdiction in that court is not available, in any state court located within the State of Delaware) over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the parties undertake not to commence any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in a forum other than a forum described in this Section 17(a); provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude the Company from bringing any suit, action or proceeding in any other court for the purposes of enforcing the provisions of this Section 17 or enforcing any judgment obtained by the Company.

 

(b)                                 The agreement of the parties to the forum described in Section 17(a) is independent of the law that may be applied in any suit, action, or proceeding and the parties agree to such forum even if such forum may under applicable law choose to apply non-forum law. The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in an applicable court described in Section 17(a), and the parties agrees that they shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court. The parties agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a final and non-appealable judgment in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any applicable court described in Section 17(a) shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction.

 

(c)                                  The parties hereto irrevocably consent to the service of any and all process in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement by the mailing of copies of such process to such party at such party’s address specified in Section 22.

 

(d)                                 Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of any action, suit or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party hereto has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 17(d).

 

(e)                                  Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided that, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent that Executive substantially prevails as to a material issue with respect to any matters subject to dispute hereunder.

 

18.                               Amendment; No Waiver.  No provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged except by a written document signed by Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than Executive). The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such party’s rights or

 

13

 

deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right or power hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment of any steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

 

19.                               Severability.  If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any applicable law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party; provided, however, that if any term or provision of Section 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any applicable law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided  further, that in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall finally hold in a non-appealable judicial determination that any provision of Section 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 (whether in whole or in part) is void or constitutes an unreasonable restriction against Executive, such provision shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision enforceable for the longest duration and the greatest scope as such court may determine constitutes a reasonable restriction under the circumstances. Subject to the foregoing, upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

20.                               Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral), between Executive and the Company, relating to such subject matter. None of the parties shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any representations and warranties or covenants relating to such subject matter except as specifically set forth herein.

 

21.                               Survival.  The rights and obligations of the parties under the provisions of this Agreement shall survive, and remain binding and enforceable, notwithstanding the expiration of the Term, the termination of this Agreement, the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder or any settlement of the financial rights and obligations arising from Executive’s employment hereunder, to the extent necessary to preserve the intended benefits of such provisions.

 

22.                               Notices.  All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by facsimile or electronic image scan (pdf) or sent, postage prepaid, by registered, certified or express mail or overnight courier service and shall be deemed given when so delivered by hand or facsimile, or if mailed, three days after mailing (one business day in the case of express mail or overnight courier service) to the parties at the following addresses or facsimiles or email addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

23.                               Headings and References.  The headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and neither constitute a part of this Agreement nor affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. When a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

 

24.                               Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including via facsimile and electronic image scan (pdf)), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

 

25.                               Section 409A.

 

(a)                                 For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and such other Treasury or Internal Revenue Service guidance) as in effect from time to time. The parties intend that any amounts payable hereunder that could constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A will be compliant with Section 409A or exempt from Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable to, and the Executive shall be solely liable and responsible for, any taxes or penalties that may be imposed on such Executive under Section 409A of the Code with respect to Executive’s receipt of payments hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the following special rule shall apply, if and to the extent required by Section 409A, in the event that (i) Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), (ii) amounts or benefits under this Agreement or any other program, plan or arrangement of the Company or a controlled group affiliate thereof are due or payable on account of “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h) and (iii) Executive is employed by a public company or a controlled group affiliate thereof:  no payments hereunder that are “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A shall be made to Executive prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date of Executive’s separation from service or, if earlier, Executive’s date of death; following any applicable six (6) month delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum on the earliest permissible payment date.

 

15

 

(c)                                  Any payment or benefit due upon a termination of Executive’s employment that represents a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall commence to be paid or provided to Executive 61 days following a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h), provided that Executive executes, if required by Section 4(c)(ii), the release described therein, within 60 days following his “separation from service.”  Each payment made under this Agreement (including each separate installment payment in the case of a series of installment payments) shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. Amounts payable under this Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation §§ 1.409A-1(b)(4) (“short-term deferrals”) and (b)(9) (“separation pay plans,” including the exception under subparagraph (iii)) and other applicable provisions of Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to payments of any amounts that are considered to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, references to “termination of employment”, “termination”, or words and phrases of similar import, shall be deemed to refer to Executive’s “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 409A.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any payment or benefit under this Agreement or otherwise that is exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A) or (C) (relating to certain reimbursements and in-kind benefits) shall be paid or provided to Executive only to the extent that the expenses are not incurred, or the benefits are not provided, beyond the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive’s “separation from service” occurs; and provided further that such expenses are reimbursed no later than the last day of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive’s “separation from service” occurs. To the extent any indemnification payment, expense reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit is determined to be subject to Section 409A (and not exempt pursuant to the prior sentence or otherwise), the amount of any such indemnification payment or expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the indemnification payment or provision of in-kind benefits or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year (except for any life-time or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), and in no event shall any indemnification payment or expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurred such indemnification payment or expenses, and in no event shall any right to indemnification payment or reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Any tax gross-up payment or benefit under this Agreement will be treated as providing for payment at a specified time or on a fixed schedule of payments to the extent that the payment is made by the end of Executive’s taxable year next following Executive’s taxable year in which Executive remits the related taxes.
