(ii) (A) Party B’s obligations to Party A under this Agreement fail at any time to be secured by the collateral  which secures the loans under the Credit Agreement from time to time (“Collateral”) on a pari passu and  pro rata basis with the principal of such loans (being the most senior class of loans if there is more than one  class); or    (B) any notice or consent is given or any action is taken that (I) would cause the Collateral, or the security  interest in or lien on the Collateral, to be released, realized upon, liquidated, sold, transferred, conveyed or  otherwise disposed of, or (II) would adversely alter or impair any of Party A’s rights, interests or benefits  in or pertaining to the Collateral under the Credit Agreement, any Collateral Document or any other  document executed in connection therewith in any material respect;    in each case, other than in connection with any release of collateral permitted or contemplated under the  Credit Agreement, any assignment by Party A or any refinancing, amendment or restatement of the Credit  Agreement or replacement with a new credit agreement in respect of which Party A or any Affiliate of Party  A is a party, or if Party A otherwise provides its written consent to an event that would otherwise constitute  an Additional Termination Event or to any refinancing, amendment or restatement that effects or would  result in any such event.  For the avoidance of doubt, the failure of any Guarantor (as defined in the Credit  Agreement) to be an “Eligible Contract Participant” (as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act, as  amended, and the applicable rules issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission) at the time its  guaranty becomes effective with respect to a Transaction shall not give rise to an Additional Termination  Event under this Part 1(h).     “Credit Agreement” means that certain Credit Agreement to be executed on or about April 26, 2021 by  and among Farmer Bros.

(i) Bankruptcy.  Section 5(a)(vii) of this Agreement is hereby amended by (i) replacing each occurrence of  the words “30 days” with the words “60 days”, (ii) deleting subclauses (1), (5) and (6) thereof and (iii)  deleting the words “becomes insolvent or” in subclause (2) thereof.

(j) Netting of Payments.   Section 2(c) will apply in respect of all Transactions from the date of this  Agreement, provided that Section 2(c)(ii) of the Agreement will not apply with respect to each of the  following groups of Transactions, in respect of which multiple transaction payment netting will apply for  payments due on that date solely among transactions in each such group.

For any Transaction entered into but not yet evidenced by a Confirmation, such  Transaction shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2(a)(i) as though the reference  to “Confirmation” therein were to “Transaction”.    (c) Additional Representations.  In addition to the representations under Section 3, the following  representations will apply:    (i) Relationship Between Parties.  Each party will be deemed to represent to the other party on the date  on which it enters into a Relevant Agreement that:    (1) Non-Reliance.

It is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the other party or  any of its affiliates (or its respective representatives) as investment advice or as a recommendation  to enter into the Relevant Agreement, it being understood that information and explanations related  to the terms and conditions of any Relevant Agreement will not be considered investment advice  or a recommendation to enter into the Relevant Agreement.

(2) Assessment and Understanding.  It is capable of assessing the merits of and understanding (on its  own behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms,  

 

4842-4172-0804 v.2   8  conditions and risks of the Relevant Agreement based solely upon its own evaluation of the  Relevant Agreement (including the present and future results, consequences, risks, and benefits  thereof, whether financial, accounting, tax, legal, or otherwise) or that of its own advisers.  It is also  capable of assuming, and assumes, the risks of the Relevant Agreement.    It also understands that  the terms under which any Transaction may be terminated early are set forth in this Agreement (or  in the relevant Confirmation), and any early termination of a Transaction other than pursuant to  such terms is subject to mutual agreement of the parties confirmed in writing, the terms of which  may require one party to pay an early termination fee to the other party based upon market  conditions prevailing at the time of early termination.    (3) Status of Parties.  The other party is not acting as a fiduciary for or an adviser to it in respect of the  Relevant Agreement, and any agency, brokerage, advisory or fiduciary services that the other party  (or any of its affiliates) may otherwise provide to the party (or to any of its affiliates) excludes the  Relevant Agreement.    “Relevant Agreement” means this Agreement, each Transaction, each Confirmation, any Credit Support  Document, or any agreement (including any amendment, modification, transfer or early termination)  between the parties relating to this Agreement or to any Transaction, Confirmation or Credit Support  Document.    (ii) Eligibility.  Each party will be deemed to represent to the other party on the date on which it enters into  a Transaction that it is an “eligible contract participant” within the meaning of the Commodity  Exchange Act.  For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any guarantee,  credit agreement, loan agreement, security agreement or otherwise, the parties hereby expressly agree  that any guaranty or other credit support provided by any Credit Support Provider of Party B shall  exclude any “Excluded Swap Obligations” as defined in the Credit Agreement.    (iii) ERISA.  Each party represents to the other party at all times hereunder that it is not (i) an employee  benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as  amended (“ERISA”), or a plan as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended (the “Code”), subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a plan as so  defined but which is not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code but is subject to another  law materially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each of which, an “ERISA  Plan”), (ii) a person or entity acting on behalf of an ERISA Plan, or (iii) a person or entity the assets of  which constitute assets of an ERISA Plan.    (d) Set-Off.  Any amount (“Early Termination Amount”) payable to one party (“Payee”) by the other party  (“Payer”) under Section 6(e), in circumstances where there is a Defaulting Party or one Affected Party in  the case where either a Termination Event under Section 5(b)(iv) or any other Termination Event in which  all outstanding Transactions are Affected Transactions has occurred, will, at the option of the party (“X”)  other than the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party (and without prior notice to the Defaulting Party or  the Affected Party), be reduced by means of set off against any amount(s) (“Other Agreement Amount”)  payable (whether at such time or in the future or upon the occurrence of a contingency) by the Payee to the  Payer or to any Affiliate of the Payer (irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of  the obligation) under any other agreement(s) between the Payee and the Payer (or between the Payee and  any Affiliate of the Payer) or instrument(s) or undertaking(s) issued or executed by the Payee to, or in the  favor of, the Payer or any Affiliate of the Payer (and the Other Agreement Amount will be discharged  promptly and in all respects to the extent it is so set-off).  X will give notice to the other party of any set- off effected under this paragraph.    For this purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or the Other Agreement Amount (or the relevant  portion of such amounts) may be converted by X into the currency in which the other is denominated at the  rate of exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to  

 

4842-4172-0804 v.2   9  purchase the relevant amount of such currency.  The term “rate of exchange” includes, without limitation,  any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the  relevant currency.    Nothing in this paragraph shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest.  This paragraph  shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right  to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).    (e) Escrow.  If payments denominated in different currencies are due hereunder by both parties on the same  day and a party has reasonable cause to believe that the other party will not meet its payment obligation,  then as reasonable assurance of performance the party may notify the other party that payments on that date  are to be made in escrow. In this case, deposit of the payment due earlier on that date shall be made by 2:00  p.m. (local time at the place for the earlier payment) on that date with any escrow agent selected by the  party giving the notice from among major commercial banks independent of either party (and its affiliates),  accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions (i) to release the deposited payment to the intended  recipient upon receipt by the escrow agent of the required deposit of the corresponding payment from the  other party on the same date accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions to the same effect or (ii) if  the required deposit of the corresponding payment is not made on the same date, to return the payment  deposited to the party that paid in escrow.  The party that elects to have payments made in escrow shall pay  the costs of the escrow arrangements and shall make arrangements to provide that the intended recipient of  the amount due to be deposited first shall be entitled to interest on the deposited payment for each day in  the period of its deposit at the rate offered by the escrow agent for that day for overnight deposits in the  relevant currency in the office where it holds that deposited payment (at 11:00 a.m. local time on that day)  if that payment is not released by 5:00 p.m. local time on the date it is deposited for any reason other than  the intended recipient’s failure to make the escrow deposit it is required to make hereunder in a timely  fashion.    (f) Change of Account. Any account designated by a party pursuant to Section 2(b) shall be in the same legal  and tax jurisdiction as the original account.    (g) Recording of Conversations.  Each party (i) consents to the recording of telephone conversations between  the trading, marketing and other relevant personnel of the parties or any of their Affiliates in connection  with this Agreement or any Transaction or potential Transaction, (ii) agrees to obtain any necessary consent  of, and give any necessary notice of such recording to, its relevant personnel and those of its Affiliates and  (iii) agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that such recordings may be submitted in evidence  in any Proceedings.     (h) Confirmation Procedures.  Each confirming document, acknowledgment or other evidence intended by  the parties to be effective for the purpose of confirming or evidencing a Transaction, whether created by  delivery or exchange of written terms that match, or by making available written terms in a manner that  permits the recipient to review and/or accept the terms, or by delivery to an agent or service provider, or  via electronic messaging system, electronic communication network, or web-based platform that confirms  the matching of such terms, shall constitute a “Confirmation” as referred to in this Agreement, provided  that both parties agree in writing or by their course of conduct to use such method with respect to  Transactions or certain types of Transactions. Confirmations for Transactions are due under Rule 23.501  of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) within the applicable time frame specified in  such rule, to the extent applicable.     (i) Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.  The following provision shall apply in respect of this Agreement  (including the Schedule hereto, any Credit Support Annex and each Transaction that has been or will be  entered into hereunder) and shall survive the termination of any Transaction or Confirmation:     

 

4842-4172-0804 v.2   10  “Withholding Tax imposed on payments to non-U.S. counterparties under the United States Foreign  Account Tax Compliance Act. “Tax” as used in Part 2(a) of this Schedule (Payer Tax Representation) and  “Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 of this Agreement shall not include any U.S. federal  withholding tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue  Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof,  any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation,  rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the  implementation of such Sections of the Code (a "FATCA Withholding Tax").

EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 

                    
                        April 24, 2021

Westbury, NY 11590 
 Dear Tom: 

Reference is made to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 24, 2021, between New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (the
“Corporation”) and Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (“Flagstar”) (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). Capitalized terms used
and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement, except as otherwise noted. 
 As you
are aware, the Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Effective Time, (a) Mr. Alessandro P. DiNello will serve as the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and (b) you will no
longer serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors, will serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and will report directly to the Board of Directors. 

This letter agreement confirms to you, and you agree that, your removal from the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors upon the Effective
Time will not constitute “Good Reason”, as such term is defined in that certain Employment Agreement by between Viking and you, dated as of March 3, 2006 (the “Employment Agreement”). If for any reason you are not
appointed to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors upon the earlier of (i) the death, resignation, removal, disqualification or other cessation of service by Mr. DiNello as Non-Executive
Chairman of the Board of Directors and (ii) the date following the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Effective Time (such earlier date, the “Succession Date”), unless you are no longer serving as Chief Executive
Officer as of the Succession Date, you will have “Good Reason” to terminate your employment with the Corporation at such time under the Employment Agreement. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Corporation’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan or 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan or any award
agreement issued pursuant thereto, in the event you are terminated without “Cause” or resign for “Good Reason” (as those terms are defined in the Employment Agreement) within the thirty (30) month anniversary of the
Effective Time, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will take such actions as are necessary to accelerate your outstanding equity awards to become fully vested and non-forfeitable upon such
termination. 

 The effectiveness of this letter agreement shall be conditioned upon the Closing. In the
event that the Merger Agreement terminates prior to Closing, this letter agreement shall be void ab initio.
