 (vi) Liens in respect of property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries existing on the date hereof;

subsidiary of the Company to the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
 (ix) Extensions, renewals or replacements of
any Liens permitted hereunder (including successive extensions, renewals and replacements), provided that with respect to Indebtedness in excess of $250,000,000, the principal amount of Indebtedness (or the maximum commitment therefor)

contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and do not involve amounts that in the aggregate would exceed $50,000,000;

business;
 (xv) Liens in respect of property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with (a) the
First Mortgage Bond Indentures or (b) customary mortgage bonds issued by the Company or its subsidiaries; and

redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed that

price upon presentment and surrender.  In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for
redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series and tenor in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time
outstanding of all series to be affected (considered together as one class for this purpose).  Any consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security
and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
 As provided in and subject
to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such
Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities of all such series
affected shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee, such Holder or Holders have offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against any costs, liabilities or expenses
to be incurred in compliance with such request, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all such affected series a direction that is inconsistent with such written
request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity.  The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the
enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
 A-6
 

 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any
premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of
this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office of the Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
 Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered upon the Security Register for such series as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or
other writing thereon) for all purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 The Securities of this series are issued
in fully registered form, without coupons, and issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

and the Indenture, without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.
 All terms used in this Security
that are defined in the Indenture and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

			Attn: Jay W. Rembolt, CFO

		

		
			Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
		

		
			Reference is hereby made to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 16, 2020 among WD-40 Company, as Company,  the Designated Borrowers from time to time party thereto, the Guarantors from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Lender  (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
		

		
			The Company has advised the Lender that the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash charge for an uncertain tax position associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “toll tax” in the amount of $8,700,000 (“Toll Tax Amount”) during the fiscal quarter of the Company ending August 31, 2019.  Solely for the purposes of the calculation of the cash dividends basket in Section 8.06(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Company requested that the Toll Tax Amount be added-back to Consolidated Net Income for the fiscal quarter ending August 31, 2019.
		

		
			Notwithstanding the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Lender hereby acknowledges that the Company may add-back the Toll Tax Amount in the calculation of the cash dividends basket in Section 8.06(c) of the Credit Agreement for any four-fiscal quarter period which includes the fiscal quarter ending August 31, 2019.
		

		
			The Company agrees to pay all fees and expenses owed by the Company to the Lender including all reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Lender (directly to such counsel if requested by the Lender) to the extent payable pursuant to the Loan Documents.
		

		
			This is a one-time acknowledgement and applies only to the matters set forth above and shall be effective as of the date hereof.  This acknowledgement letter is a Loan Document.  All other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  This acknowledgement letter may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, and by the different parties on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this acknowledgment letter by facsimile or other electronic imaging means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this acknowledgment letter;  provided,  however, that the facsimile or other electronic image shall be promptly followed by an original if required by the Lender.
