(ii) To the extent not due and payable earlier, all outstanding principal and interest with respect to the Term Loan A-1 shall be due and payable on the earliest of (A) the Term Loan A-1 Maturity Date, and (B) the date on which the Lender accelerates maturity of the Term Loan A-1 (or it is automatically accelerated) due to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default.

(d) No Collateral. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Obligations arising under and with respect to the Term Loan A-1 shall be unsecured.

2.2. Term Loan A-2.

(a) Term Loan A-2. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, on the Restatement Date, the Lender hereby agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan A-2”) to the Borrowers in the original principal amount of One Hundred Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($175,000,000). The Borrowers may not re-borrow repaid principal of the Term Loan A-2. The proceeds of the Term Loan A-2 shall be used for working capital and general company purposes, including the repayment of loans outstanding under the Bank of America Agreement.

The Loan Parties shall grant or cause to be granted to the Lender, and keep in full force and effect until Full Payment of the Secured Obligations, the Mortgages and the Assignments of Leases.

(ii) Collateral Coverage Requirement. The Loan Parties shall be required to pledge or cause to be pledged to the Lender, and keep in full force and effect until Full Payment of the Secured Obligations, Collateral having an aggregate value sufficient to collateralize the original principal amount of the Term Loan A-2 on at least a 1:1 basis (the “Collateral Coverage Requirement”). Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement on the Restatement Date, Parent will grant the Lender the Initial Mortgages with respect to the Janesville, WI Parcel and the Glencoe, MN Parcel. In the event that, following the receipt of the third party appraisals required to be delivered to the Lender after the Restatement Date pursuant to Section 7.14 with respect to the Janesville, WI Parcel and the Glencoe, MN Parcel, the Lender determines the total value of the Janesville, WI Parcel and the Glencoe, MN Parcel is insufficient to satisfy the Collateral Coverage Requirement, then, within thirty (30) days of the Lender’s delivery of notice of such determination to the Borrowers, the Loan Parties shall, at their option, either (a) prepay the Term Loan A-2 or (b) pledge additional real property or other collateral satisfactory to the Lender in its sole discretion, such that, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), the Collateral Coverage Requirement is satisfied after giving effect thereto (it being the intention of the parties hereto that, in the event the Collateral Coverage Requirement is not satisfied based on the total value of the Janesville, WI Parcel and the Glencoe, MN Parcel and the Loan Parties elect to pledge additional collateral to the Lender pursuant to the preceding clause (b), the Loan Parties, as necessary, shall, first, grant a first priority Mortgage to the Lender with respect to the Rochester, MN Parcel and/or the Ripon, WI Parcel, and second, pledge and provide a perfected security interest in all Equipment of the Loan Parties located on the Mortgaged Properties). For purposes of testing compliance with the Collateral Coverage Requirement, the value of Real Estate will be determined using the fair market value thereof as set forth in the third party appraisals required to be delivered to the Lender after the Restatement Date pursuant to Section 7.14 and the value of Equipment will be determined using the Net Book Value thereof.

(iii) Collateral Deliverables. In connection with the pledge of any additional Collateral pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Loan Parties shall execute and/or deliver to the Lender, and, as applicable, file or record (or authorize the Lender to file or record), such agreements, certificates, instruments, legal opinions or other documents as the Lender or its counsel may reasonably request, including, without limitation, with respect to the grant of any Mortgages, a mortgage in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto for any real property located in Wisconsin or a mortgage in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto for any real property located in Minnesota, as the case may be, and each of the required deliverables set forth in Section 5.3 with respect to the applicable Mortgaged Properties, and, with respect to the pledge of Equipment, lien searches in such jurisdictions as Lender may require, a security agreement and UCC-1 financing statements, in all cases in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender. For the avoidance of uncertainty or doubt, it is expressly agreed and acknowledged that with the pledge of any additional Collateral pursuant to clause (ii) above consisting of Real Estate, the Loan Parties shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide Lender with (i) a mortgagee title insurance binder covering the additional Mortgages, in form and substance and with endorsements satisfactory to the Lender, containing no exceptions from coverage except such as are acceptable to the Lender; and (ii) ALTA/ACSM survey(s) in form acceptable to the Lender covering the additional Mortgaged Properties showing no encumbrances and exceptions that are not acceptable to Lender. All proceedings, and all documents, instruments and other matters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.2(d), shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Lender.

(iv) Further Assurances. The Loan Parties shall from time to time, at their expense, take any and all actions requested by the Lender from time to time to assure that the Lender has a continuing perfected, first priority Lien in the Collateral (in the case of Equipment, if applicable, whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired), subject only to Permitted Liens, including execution, delivery, recording and filing of documents, and to assure the enforceability and collectability of the Obligations and otherwise enforce the rights of the Lender hereunder.

(v) Costs and Expenses. The Loan Parties agree to pay or cause to be paid and to save the Lender harmless against liability for the payment of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Lender arising from or relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution, and delivery (including arrangement of participations) of any Loan Documents contemplated by or delivered pursuant to this Section 2.2(d), and any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or consents to any such Loan Document (whether or not a transaction contemplated thereby shall be completed), in accordance with Section 12.6.

ARTICLE III. - INTEREST

3.1. Interest Rates.

(a) Term Loan A-1. The unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan A-1 shall bear interest for each day until due at a fixed rate per annum equal to 3.3012%, computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.

(b) Term Loan A-2. The unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan A-2 shall bear interest for each day until due on one or more bases selected by the Borrowers from among the interest rate Options set forth below, with the Term Loan A-2 initially bearing interest under the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Option. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may select different Options to apply simultaneously to different Portions of the Term Loan A-2 and may select different Funding Segments to apply simultaneously to different parts of the Fixed Rate Portion of the Term Loan A-2. The aggregate number of Funding Segments applicable to the Loans at any time shall not exceed three.

(i) Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) for each day equal to the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin for such day (the “Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Option”)

(A)

The “Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate” is a variable rate per annum equal to the higher of (i) zero percent (0.00%) and (ii) One-Month Term SOFR. For purposes hereof, (a) “One-Month Term SOFR” shall mean the CME SOFR Term Reference Rate administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Ltd. (or any successor forward-looking term rate derived from SOFR published by any successor administrator thereof, as may be recommended by the SOFR Administrator) and published on the SOFR Administrator’s website for a 30-day tenor on the day that is two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the first Business Day in each week, with such rate to change weekly on such day; (b) “SOFR” shall mean, for any U.S. Government Securities Business Day, a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate for such day published (at such time as Lender may determine in its sole discretion) by the SOFR Administrator on its website (or any successor source identified; (c) “SOFR Administrator” shall mean the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate); (d) “U.S. Government Securities Business Day” shall mean any day except for (i) a Saturday, (ii) a Sunday, or (iii) a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in United States government securities; and (e) “Business Day” shall mean a day on which the Lender and the Federal Reserve Banks are open for business. The rate shall be reset automatically, without the necessity of notice being provided to Borrower or any other party, on the first Business Day of each succeeding week, and each change in the rate shall be applicable to all balances subject to the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Option.

(B)

The Lender shall give prompt notice to the Borrowers of One-Month Term SOFR determined or adjusted in accordance with the definition of “One-Month Term SOFR”, which determination or adjustment shall be conclusive if made in good faith, absent manifest error; provided that failure of the Lender to give such notice shall have no effect whatsoever on the provisions of this Article III.

(ii) Fixed Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) for each day equal to the Fixed Rate (the “Fixed Rate Option”).

(c) Applicable Margins. The “Applicable Margin” for the Term Loan A-2, for any day and for any interest rate Option selected, shall mean the applicable percentage set forth below. For purposes of the Leverage Ratio, EBITDA shall be measured for the period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters ending on the applicable date. The Applicable Margin shall be adjusted effective as of the first day of the month following the Lender’s receipt of the applicable measurement calculation, and such financial test shall be deemed to remain satisfied until such adjustment date. The following grid summarizes the Applicable Margins to be used in calculating the rate of interest on the Term Loan A-2 for each Fiscal Quarter; provided, however, Level C shall apply until the adjustment date pertaining to the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2023:

		Applicable
Level	Leverage Ratio	Margin

A	> 3.00		2.25	%
B	< 3.00 and > 2.50		2.00	%
C	˂ 2.50		1.75	%

(d) Funding Periods. At any time when the Borrowers shall convert to or renew the Fixed Rate Option to apply to any part of the Term Loan A-2, the Borrowers shall specify one or more periods during which each such Option shall apply (the “Funding Periods”), provided that:

(i) with respect to the Fixed Rate Option, each Funding Period shall be one-year, two-years, three-years, four-years or five-years and shall begin on a Business Day; and

(ii) no Funding Period may be chosen that extends beyond the Term Loan A-2 Maturity Date.

(e) Transactional Amounts. Every conversion from, conversion to or renewal of any Option shall be in a principal amount such that after giving effect thereto the principal amount of each such Portion of the Term Loan A-2 shall be an integral multiple of $10,000 and not less than $100,000.

(f) SOFR Unascertainable; Impracticability.

(i) If on any date on which One-Month Term SOFR would otherwise be set the Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) that:

(A)

adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining One-Month Term SOFR,

(B)

a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects any applicable interbank market, or

(C)

the effective cost to the Lender of funding a proposed Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Portion will not be adequately and fairly reflected in the applicable Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate,

(ii) if at any time the Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) that the making, maintenance or funding of any part of the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Portion has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by the Lender in good faith with any Law or guideline or interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), including the SOFR Administrator or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Lender making a public statement identifying a specific date after which SOFR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans;

then, and in any such event, the Lender may notify the Borrowers of such determination (including telephonic or electronic notice, which notice need not comply with Section 12.4). Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of the Lender to allow the Borrowers to select, convert to or renew a Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Option shall be suspended until the Lender shall have later notified the Borrowers of the Lender’s determination in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) that the circumstance giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist.

(iii) If the Lender notifies the Borrowers of a determination under Section 3.1(f)(i) or 3.1(f)(ii), at the option of the Borrowers either (A) or (B) below shall apply:

(A)

the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Portion of the Term Loan A-2 made by the Lender shall automatically be converted to the Fixed Rate Option as of the date specified in such notice (and accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable on such date);

(B)

the Lender shall establish an alternate rate of interest for One-Month Term SOFR that gives due consideration to the then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall make such other related changes to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to preserve the benefits and burdens for and to the parties of the pre-existing terms related to interest rates (for the avoidance of doubt, including such related changes to avoid any reduction in effective interest rate returns and applicable breakage costs for the Lender). Notwithstanding Section 12.3, such alternate rate and amended terms shall become effective automatically five (5) Business Days after the Lender gives notice (including telephonic or electronic, which notice need not comply with Section 12.4) to Borrowers of the same.

(iv) If at the time the Lender makes a determination under Section 3.1(f)(i) or 3.1(f)(ii) and the Borrowers previously has notified the Lender that it wishes to select, convert to or renew the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Option with respect to the Term Loan A-2 but such loan has not yet been made, converted or renewed, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of interest at the Fixed Rate Option or alternate rate, as applicable under Section 3.1(d)(iii), instead of the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Option.

(g) SOFR Replacement Provisions.

(i) Notwithstanding Section 3.1(f) above, if at any time the SOFR Administrator ceases to provide quotations for SOFR, or if the SOFR Administrator or any person having authority over the SOFR Administrator or with respect to SOFR generally announces that SOFR will cease to be provided within a period not exceeding 90 days, or if the Lender otherwise determines that SOFR has been, or is likely within a period not exceeding 90 days to be, discontinued, or that SOFR does not, or is likely within a period not exceeding 90 days not to, adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining Loans hereunder, then the Lender may, after consultation with but without the consent of the Borrowers, amend this Agreement and any other Loan Document to (1) replace any interest rate in this Agreement based upon SOFR with a replacement benchmark rate deemed appropriate by the Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion, which replacement benchmark, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, may be the Lender’s “Base Rate”, as determined from time to time by the Lender pursuant to Lender’s applicable Interest Rate Policy, as in effect from time to time, (2) adjust the margins applicable to the determination of interest rates under this Agreement (whether up or down) as deemed appropriate by the Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion to compensate for differences between SOFR and such replacement benchmark rate, and (3) after consultation with but without the consent of the Borrowers, effect such other technical, administrative and operational changes to the Loan Documents as the Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion deems appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such replacement rate. The Lender shall give the Borrowers not less than five (5) days’ written notice of any such amendment prior to the effective date thereof. In no event shall any replacement interest rate be less than zero.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing subclause (i), if prior to the commencement of any interest period proposed to be subject to SOFR, the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that: (1) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining SOFR for such interest period; or (2) SOFR for such interest period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the loans for such interest period; then the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Lender notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (a) any request to convert any Loan to, or continue any Loan at, an interest rate based on SOFR shall be ineffective, and (b) the Lender shall in good faith, after consultation but without the consent of the Borrowers, select an alternate rate of interest to apply to any and all balances upon the expiration of the interest period applicable thereto, which rate of interest shall be commercially reasonable and generally consistent with the then-prevailing market convention, if any, for replacement of SOFR in bilateral loan transactions and which rate of interest, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, may be the Lender’s “Base Rate”, as determined from time to time by the Lender pursuant to Lender’s applicable Interest Rate Policy, as in effect from time to time.

3.2. Conversion or Renewal of Interest Rate Options.

(a) Conversion or Renewal. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.5 hereof, and if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall exist, the Borrowers may convert any part of the Term Loan A-2 from any interest rate Option or Options to one or more different interest rate Options and may renew the Fixed Rate Option as to any Funding Segment of the Fixed Rate Portion of the Term Loan A-2 as provided herein:

(i) at any time with respect to conversion from the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Option; or

(ii) at the expiration of any Funding Period with respect to conversions from or renewals of the Fixed Rate Option as to the Funding Segment corresponding to such expiring Funding Period.

(b) Conversion Information. Whenever the Borrowers desire to convert or renew any interest rate Option or Options, the Borrowers shall provide to the Lender Standard Notice setting forth the following information:

(i) The date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed conversion or renewal is to be made;

(ii) The principal amounts selected in accordance with Section 3.1(e) hereof of the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Portion or Fixed Rate Portion, as applicable, and each Funding Segment of the Fixed Rate Portion, as applicable, to be converted from or renewed;

(iii) The interest rate Option or Options selected in accordance with Section 3.1(a) hereof and the principal amounts selected in accordance with Section 3.1(e) hereof of the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Portion or Fixed Rate Portion, as applicable, and each Funding Segment of the Fixed Rate Portion, as applicable, to be converted to; and

(iv) With respect to each Funding Segment to be converted to or renewed, the Funding Period selected in accordance with Section 3.1(d) hereof to apply to such Funding Segment.

Standard Notice having been so provided, after the date specified in such Standard Notice, interest shall be calculated upon the principal amount of the Term Loan A-2 as so converted or renewed. Interest on the principal amount of any part of the Loans converted or renewed (automatically or otherwise) shall be due and payable on the conversion or renewal date.

(c) Failure to Convert or Renew. Absent due notice from the Borrowers of conversion or renewal in the circumstances described in Section 3.2(a) hereof, any part of the Fixed Rate Portion for which such notice is not received shall be converted automatically to the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Option on the last day of the expiring Funding Period.

3.3. Interest at Default Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be payable at the Default Rate if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and if with respect thereto the Lender has determined that the Default Rate is to be applicable and the Lender shall have given at least ten days’ prior notice (which may be by telecopy or electronic means) of such determination; provided, however, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 11.1(k) application of the Default Rate shall be automatic unless and only to the extent such Event of Default would result in any automatic stay or other similar stay under applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, after there shall have become due (by acceleration or otherwise) principal, interest, fees, indemnity, expenses or any other amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document, at the option of the Lender such amounts shall bear interest for each day until paid (before and after judgment), payable on demand, at the Default Rate. “Default Rate” means a rate per annum (in each case based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) which for each day shall be equal to a rate per annum two percentage points (2%) above the rate otherwise applicable.

3.4. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. The following provisions shall apply to the Term Loan A-2 (and not the Term Loan A-1) only if and to the extent the Term Loan A-2 bears interest under the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Option:

(a) Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Lender;

(ii) subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Term Loan A-2 made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in respect thereof (except for Taxes covered by Section 4.5); or

(iii) impose on the Lender or interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting the Term Loan A-2 made by the Lender;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Term Loan A-2, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to the Term Loan A-2) then, upon request of the Lender, the Borrowers will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Adequacy. If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or any lending office of the Lender or the Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or the Term Loan A-2, to a level below that which the Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s and holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate the Lender for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Loan Party Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(d) Mitigation. If the Lender requests compensation under this Section, then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would reduce amounts payable and (b) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to it or unlawful. The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.5. Make-Whole Payments.

(a) Fixed Rate Breakage Funding Indemnity. In connection with any optional or mandatory prepayment (including upon acceleration of maturity or in connection with any insolvency proceeding) (the date such prepayment is due being the “Fixed Rate Breakage Date”) of the Fixed Rate Portion of the Term Loan A-2, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender an amount (“Fixed Rate Breakage Indemnity”) intended to compensate the Lender for any actual or imputed funding losses incurred by the Lender a result of the payment, which Fixed Rate Breakage Indemnity will be determined by the Lender (such determination to be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers absent manifest error) as follows:

(i) Subtract (A) the interpolated terminal Treasury Rate on the Fixed Rate Breakage Date (the “Terminal Treasury Rate”), from (B) the fixed rate set forth in Section 3.1(a) (the “Fixed Rate Cost”). If such difference is negative, then no Fixed Rate Breakage Indemnity shall be due under this provision. If such difference is positive, continue the calculation through and including subclauses (ii) through (iv) inclusive, and the result shall be the applicable Fixed Rate Breakage Indemnity.

(ii) Divide the result determined in subclause (i) above by four (the number of times interest is payable during the year).

(iii) For each monthly interest period (or portion thereof) during which interest was scheduled to accrue at the Fixed Rate, multiply the amount determined in subclause (ii) above by the principal balance scheduled to have been outstanding during such period (such that there is a calculation for each monthly interest period during which the amount repaid was scheduled to have been outstanding at the applicable Fixed Rate).

(iv) Determine the present value of each calculation made under subclause (iii) above based upon the scheduled time that interest on the amount repaid would have been payable and a discount rate equal to the Terminal Treasury Rate.

ARTICLE IV. - PAYMENTS

4.1. Payments Generally. All payments and prepayments to be made by the Borrowers in respect of principal, interest, fees, indemnity, expenses or other amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be payable by 12:00 o’clock noon, New York time, on the day when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue, without setoff, counterclaim, withholding or other deduction of any kind or nature. Such payments shall be made to the Lender at its Office in Dollars immediately available at such Office. Any payment or prepayment received by the Lender after 12:00 o’clock noon, New York time, on any day shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.

4.2. Prepayments Generally. Whenever the Borrowers desire or are required to prepay any part of the Term Loans, they shall provide Standard Notice to the Lender setting forth the following information:

(a) the Term Loan(s) to be prepaid;

(b) the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made; and

(c) the total principal amount of the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Portion or Fixed Rate Portion, as applicable, to be prepaid, which must be at least $5,000,000 unless otherwise agreed by the Lender.

Standard Notice having been so provided, on the date specified in such Standard Notice, the principal amounts specified in such notice, together with interest on each such principal amount to such date, shall be due and payable. Principal prepayments shall be applied in inverse order of maturity.

4.3. Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at their option from time to time to prepay the Term Loans, in whole or part without premium or penalty:

(a) at any time with respect to any part of the Weekly One-Month SOFR Index Rate Portion; or

(b) at the expiration of any Funding Period with respect to prepayment of the Fixed Rate Portion, as the case may be, with respect to any part of the Funding Segment corresponding to such expiring Funding Period.

Any such prepayment shall be made in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof.

4.4. Recovery of Payments. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to Lender or Lender exercises a 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 Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

4.5. Taxes.

(a) Payments Net of Taxes. All payments made by the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made without reduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding income or franchise taxes imposed on the Lender by the United States or the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Lender is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or as a result of a connection between the Lender and any jurisdiction other than a connection resulting solely from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings being hereinafter called “Taxes”). If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrowers shall pay the relevant amount of such Taxes and the amounts so payable to the Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Whenever any Taxes are paid by the Borrowers with respect to payments made in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrowers shall send to the Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrowers showing payment thereof.

(b) Indemnity. The Borrowers hereby indemnify the Lender for the full amount of all Taxes attributable to payments by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any Taxes paid by the Lender, any present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any Taxes (including any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Lender as a result of any failure to pay such Taxes), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.

4.6. Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability; Contribution.

(a) Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Lender make the Term Loans available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual advantage. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledge that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s willingness to extend credit on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

(b) Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations and all agreements under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Loan Party is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Lender with respect thereto; (c) the failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Loan Party; (e) any election by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Lender against any Loan Party for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Obligations.

(c) Waiver. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Lender to marshal assets or to proceed against any Loan Party, other Person or security (if any) for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Obligations and waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to revoke any guaranty of Obligations as long as it is a Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower and Lender that the provisions of this Section 4.6 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Lender would decline to make or continue the Term Loans. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(d) Extent of Liabilities; Contribution.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 4.6 shall be limited to the greater of (A) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described below, and (B) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount.

(ii) If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 4.6 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 4.6 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(iii) Nothing contained in this Section 4.6 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay any Term Loan to the extent made directly or indirectly to that Borrower (including any Term Loan advanced to any other Borrower and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.

(e) Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Loan Party, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Obligations; provided, however, so long as an Event of Default does not exist, any Borrower may make payments with respect to any such claims permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

Each Farm Credit Lender reserves the right to assign, or sell participations in, all or any part of its outstanding portion of the Term Loans hereunder, on a patronage basis, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.13 of this Agreement.

(c) Neither the Farm Credit Equities nor any accrued patronage shall be offset against the Obligations except that, in an Event of Default, a Farm Credit Lender may elect, solely at its discretion and with respect to the Farm Credit Equities issued by it, to apply the cash portion of any patronage distribution or retirement of equity to amounts due under this Agreement. The Parent acknowledges that any corresponding tax liability associated with such application is the sole responsibility of the Parent. No Farm Credit Lender shall have any obligation to retire any Farm Credit Equities during the existence of a Default or after the occurrence of any Event of Default that is continuing, or at any other time, either for application to the Obligations or otherwise.

ARTICLE X. - GUARANTY

10.1. Guaranty of Payment and Performance. As each Guarantor expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the extensions of credit by Lender to the Borrowers, for value received and hereby acknowledged, and as an inducement to the Lender to make or continue the Term Loans, each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and jointly and severally with the other Guarantors guarantees to Lender the full and punctual payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise), as well as the performance, of all of the Obligations including all such which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay pursuant to §362(a) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and the operation of §§502(b) and 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. This Guaranty contained herein is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual payment and performance of all of the Obligations and not of their collectibility only, and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ first attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any Borrower or resort to any collateral security or other means of obtaining payment. If an Event of Default shall occur, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder with respect to such Obligations in default shall become immediately due and payable to Lender, without demand or notice of any nature, all of which are expressly waived by such Guarantor. Payments by the Guarantors hereunder may be required by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on any number of occasions. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Guarantor’s liability hereunder is joint and several with the other Guarantors and any other Person(s) who may guarantee the Obligations under and in respect of this Agreement.

10.2. The Guarantors’ Agreement to Pay Enforcement Costs, etc. Each Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to Lender, on demand, all costs and expenses (including court costs and legal expenses) incurred or expended by Lender in connection with the Obligations, this Guaranty contained herein and the enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Section from the time when such amounts become due until payment, whether before or after judgment, at the rate of interest for overdue principal set forth in this Agreement, provided that if such interest exceeds the maximum amount permitted to be paid under applicable law, then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted amount.

10.3. Waivers by Guarantors; ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Freedom to Act. Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with their respective terms, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of Lender with respect thereto. Each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance, notice of any Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Borrowers or any other entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations, and all suretyship defenses generally. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees to the provisions of any instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any Obligation and agrees that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrowers or any other entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations; (b) any extensions, compromise, refinancing, consolidation or renewals of any Obligation; (c) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Obligations or any rescissions, waivers, compromise, refinancing, consolidation, amendments or modifications of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, the Term Loan Notes, the other Loan Documents, any Bank Product, or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Obligations; (d) the addition, substitution or release of any entity or other person primarily or secondarily liable for any Obligation, (e) the adequacy of any rights which Lender may have against collateral security, if any, or other means of obtaining repayment of any of the Obligations; (f) the impairment of collateral, if any, securing any of the Obligations, including without limitation the failure to perfect or preserve any rights which Lender might have in such collateral security or the substitution, exchange, surrender, release, loss or destruction of any such collateral security; or (g) any other act or omission which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of such Guarantor, all of which may be done without notice to such Guarantor. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (i) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law which would otherwise prevent Lender from bringing any action, including any claim for a deficiency, or exercising any other right or remedy (including any right of set-off), against such Guarantor before or after Lender’s commencement or completion of a foreclosure action, if any, whether judicially, by exercise of power of sale or otherwise, or (ii) any other law which in any other way would otherwise require any election of remedies by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

10.4. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Borrowers. If for any reason a Borrower has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations, or if any of the Obligations have become irrecoverable from such Borrower by reason of such Borrower’s insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization or by other operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on each Guarantor to the same extent as if such Guarantor at all times had been the principal obligor on all such Obligations. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower, or for any other reason, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement, the Term Loan Notes, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any Obligation shall be immediately due and payable by the Guarantors.

10.5. Subrogation; Subordination. Until the final payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and any and all other obligations of the Borrowers to Lender or any affiliate of Lender, no Guarantor shall exercise any rights against the Borrowers arising as a result of payment by such Guarantor hereunder, by way of subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or otherwise, and will not prove any claim in competition with Lender or such affiliate in respect of any payment hereunder in any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceedings of any nature; no Guarantor will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against the Borrowers in respect of any liability of such Guarantor to any Borrower; and each Guarantor waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by Lender or any such affiliate. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Borrowers now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations and any and all other obligations of the Borrowers to Lender or any affiliate of Lender. Each Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence of any Default or Event or Default, such Guarantor will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any Borrower to such Guarantor until Full Payment of all of the Obligations. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness prior to Full Payment, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

10.6. Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until Lender is given written notice of each Guarantor’s intention to discontinue the guaranty contained herein, notwithstanding any intermediate or temporary payment or settlement of the whole or any part of the Obligations. No such notice shall be effective unless received and acknowledged by an officer of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at the address of Lender for notices set forth in this Agreement. No such notice shall affect any rights of Lender or of any affiliate of Lender hereunder, including without limitation the rights set forth in Sections 10.3 and 10.5, with respect to any Obligations incurred or accrued prior to the receipt of such notice or any Obligations incurred or accrued after the receipt of such notice pursuant to this Agreement, any Bank Product, or any other contract or commitment in existence prior to such receipt, all of which Obligations shall continue to be unconditionally guaranteed by such Guarantor. The Guaranty contained herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, notwithstanding any such notice, if at any time any payment made or value received with respect to any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made or value received.

10.7. Contribution. To the extent a Guarantor makes a payment hereunder in excess of the aggregate amount of the benefit received by such Guarantor in respect of the extensions of credit under this Agreement (the “Benefit Amount”), then such Guarantor, after the payment in full, in cash, of all of the Obligations, shall be entitled to recover from each other guarantor of the Obligations such excess payment, pro rata, in accordance with the ratio of the Benefit Amount received by each such other guarantor to the total Benefit Amount received by all guarantors of the Obligations, and the right to such recovery shall be deemed to be an asset and property of the Guarantor so funding; provided, that all such rights to recovery shall be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Full Payment of all of the Obligations.

(a) The Borrowers agree to pay or cause to be paid and to save the Lender harmless against liability for the payment of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Lender arising from or relating to (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution, and delivery (including arrangement of participations) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or consents to this Agreement or any Loan Document, (iii) the administration of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Documents, (iv) the Lender’s review of the third party appraisals required to be delivered to the Lender after the Restatement Date pursuant to Section 7.14 and any actions taken thereafter to satisfy the Collateral Coverage Requirement and (v) from time to time arising from or relating to the interpretation, enforcement or preservation of rights, and any other matter, under this Agreement or any Loan Document.

(b) The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording, filing, registration, search, sales and excise fees and taxes and all similar impositions now or hereafter determined by the Lender to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any other documents, instruments or transactions pursuant to or in connection herewith or therewith, and the Borrowers agree to save the Lender harmless from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such fees, taxes or impositions.

(c) The Borrowers hereby agrees to reimburse and indemnify each of the Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any transaction from time to time contemplated hereby or thereby, or any transaction financed in whole or in part or directly or indirectly with the proceeds of the Term Loans (and without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, including any violation or breach of any Environmental Law or any other Law by any Loan Party; any Claim arising out of the management, use, control, ownership or operation of Property by any Loan Party, including all on-site and off-site activities involving any Environmental Release; or any exercise by the Lender of any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document); but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the foregoing obligations of any Borrower under this subsection (c), or any other indemnification obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, are unenforceable for any reason, each Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

(d) 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 Term Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee 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 the Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

12.7. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

12.8. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

12.9. Prior Understandings; Certain References. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, among the parties hereto relating to the transactions provided for herein and therein.

12.10. Duration; Survival; Reinstatement. All representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained herein or in any other in the Loan Document or made in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the making of, and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery, of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any investigation by or knowledge of the Lender, the making or continuation of the Term Loans, or any other event or condition whatever. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of each Loan Party contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date hereof until Full Payment of all Obligations, and additionally and without limitation, all obligations of each Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document to make payments to or indemnify the Indemnitees shall survive the Full Payment of the Obligations and all other events and conditions whatever. To the extent the Loan Parties make a payment or payments to Lender or Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver of any other party under any applicable Law (including the New York Lien Law, the Bankruptcy Code, and New York Debtor Creditor Law) or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

12.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto 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 instrument.

12.12. Limitation on Payments. The parties hereto intend to conform to all Applicable Laws in effect from time to time limiting the maximum rate of interest that may be charged or collected. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of any other Loan Document, the Loan Parties shall not be required to make any payment to or for the account of the Lender, and Lender shall refund any payment made by any of them, to the extent that such requirement or such failure to refund would violate or conflict with nonwaivable provisions of Applicable Laws limiting the maximum amount of interest which may be charged or collected by Lender.

12.13. Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, (i) the Loan Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender and (ii) unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender will not assign any of the Obligations without the prior consent of the Borrowers. Upon any transfer of any Obligation or any interest therein the Lender may deliver or otherwise transfer or assign to the holder any guarantees for the Obligation, which holder shall thereupon have all the rights of the Lender.

(b) Participations. The Lender may at any time, without the consent of or notice to the Borrowers, sell participations to any Person that is a member of the Farm Credit System, and each such Person may sell sub-participations to any Person that is a member of the Farm Credit System (in each case other than a natural person or a Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it); provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrowers for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Lender may share with any Participant or potential Participant information related to the Loan Parties on a confidential basis. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment.

(c) Certain Pledges. The 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may publish or disseminate general information describing this credit facility, including the name and address of Borrowers and a general description of Borrowers’ business, and may use Borrowers’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials. As used herein, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party relating to it or its business that is identified as confidential when delivered. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises the same degree of care that it accords its own confidential information. Lender acknowledges that (i) Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including federal and state securities laws.

The Loan Parties shall, promptly upon request, provide all documentation and other information as ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may request from time to time in order to comply with any obligations under any “know your customer,” anti-money laundering or other requirements of Applicable Law.

12.18. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(iii) CONSENTS AND AGREES TO SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY RELATED LITIGATION IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 12.4 HEREOF, AND CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE IN EVERY RESPECT VALID AND EFFECTIVE SERVICE (BUT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE VALIDITY OR EFFECTIVENESS OF PROCESS SERVED IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW);

(iv) WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY RELATED LITIGATION (WHICH LENDER ALSO WAIVES); AND

(c) Non-Exclusive Rights. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Lender of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

12.19. Restatement. This Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the Existing Loan Agreement. All references in the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument executed or delivered in connection therewith to the Existing Loan Agreement shall hereafter be deemed to be references to this Agreement.
