The determination by the Independent Accountant of the Disputed Matters remaining in dispute shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall adjust the Revised Net Working Capital calculated and the Revised Derivative Adjustment calculated by Buyer accordingly, which, as revised shall be used in computing the Adjustment Amount and Final Derivative Adjustment, as applicable.

3.9 Operations Matters.

3.9.1 VOC Matters. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plant currently operates under the Air Emission Permit Number 06900025-004 (the “Air Permit”), issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (“MPCA”). The Air Permit’s Best Available Control Technology (BACT) solvent loss ratio limit is 0.25 gallons of volatile organic compounds per ton of canola seed processed, calculated on a twelve (12) month rolling average basis (the “Current BACT Limit”). The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plant has at times exceeded the Current BACT Limit and Seller has submitted an amendment application to the MPCA to, among other things, amend the Air Permit by increasing the Current BACT Limit from 0.25 gallons per ton to 0.29 gallons per ton (the “Air Permit Amendment”). If the Air Permit Amendment is not approved by the MPCA, then Buyer may be required to implement certain capital expenditures in order to avoid exceeding the Current BACT Limit (the “Air Permit Capital Expenditures”). Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows:

(a)If, after the four (4) month anniversary of the Closing Date, neither Seller nor Buyer has received (with a copy delivered to the other Party) written notification from MPCA approving or denying the Air Permit Amendment, then, at Buyer’s request, Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Written Direction (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) directing the Escrow Agent to disburse to Buyer those amounts necessary to reimburse Buyer for those expenses of Buyer necessary to place orders and make down payments so as to procure or otherwise arrange for the timely delivery of equipment related to any construction activities at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plant that are planned during the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plant’s routine annual shutdown with the purpose of achieving compliance with the Current BACT Limit from the Operations Escrow Amount (collectively, “Equipment Expenses”), not to exceed $2,425,000 (the “Air Permit Escrow Amount”).

(b)If either Seller or Buyer receives (with a copy delivered to the other Party) written notification from MPCA approving the Air Permit Amendment prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, then Buyer and Seller shall promptly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Written Direction directing the Escrow Agent to (i) disburse an amount equal to the then-current balance of the Air Permit Escrow Amount minus all Equipment Expenses for which Buyer has committed to pay, but has not yet received a disbursement, as of the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date to Seller, and (ii) disburse all Equipment Expenses for which Buyer has committed to pay, but has not yet received a disbursement, as of the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date to Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any amounts paid to it for Equipment Expenses for which it can reasonably cancel orders and be refunded payments previously made.

(c)Promptly upon the earlier of the (i) denial of the Air Permit Amendment by MPCA and (ii) six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Written Direction directing the Escrow Agent to disburse the then-current balance of the Air Permit Escrow Amount to Buyer. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Air Permit Escrow Amount is disbursed to Buyer in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the Air Permit Escrow Amount is to be Buyer’s sole remedy and Seller’s sole liability with respect to the Air Permit Capital Expenditures.

3.9.2 Wastewater Matters. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plant currently operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)/State Disposal System (SDS) Permit Number MN0068969 (the “Wastewater Permit”), issued by the MPCA. The Wastewater Permit provides for a daily limit on internal waste stream designated as WS 001 of 254 kg BOD5 per day (the “Internal Waste Stream Limit”). The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facility has at times exceeded the specified daily Internal Waste Stream Limit and Seller is in the process of completing an amendment application to the MPCA to amend certain aspects of the Wastewater Permit, including that the Internal Waste Stream Limit be eliminated, or alternatively, to amend the Internal Waste Stream Limit to a monthly average duration at an increased value of 350 kg BOD5 per day (the “Wastewater Permit Amendment”). If the Wastewater Permit Amendment is not approved by the MPCA, then Buyer may be required to implement certain capital expenditures in order to avoid exceeding the Internal Waste Stream Limit (the “Wastewater Permit Capital Expenditures”). Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows:

(a)If either Seller or Buyer receives (with a copy delivered to the other Party) written notification from MPCA approving the Wastewater Permit Amendment prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, then Buyer and Seller shall promptly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Written Direction directing the Escrow Agent to disburse $1,800,000 from the Operations Escrow Amount (the “Wastewater Permit Escrow Amount”) to Seller.

(b)Promptly upon the earlier of the (i) denial of the Wastewater Permit Amendment by MPCA and (ii) six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Written Direction directing the Escrow Agent to disburse the Wastewater Permit Escrow Amount to Buyer. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Wastewater Permit Escrow Amount is disbursed to Buyer in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the Wastewater Permit Escrow Amount is to be Buyer’s sole remedy and Seller’s sole liability with respect to the Wastewater Permit Capital Expenditures.

3.9.3 Buyer Efforts. Buyer agrees that it shall in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate and promptly obtain the Air Permit Amendment and the Wastewater Permit Amendment prior to the respective anniversary dates set forth in Sections 3.9.1 and 3.9.2, keeping the Seller apprised of its efforts and all communications with the MPCA and any consultants involved, including ▇▇▇▇▇ & Associates. Further, Buyer agrees that it shall in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plant in compliance with the existing Air Permit and Wastewater Permit, to avoid and/or mitigate any costs of compliance and related fines, penalties or similar payments.

Representations and Warranties of Seller

4.1 Organization and Authority of Seller; Capitalization and Subsidiaries.

(a)Seller is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the state of Delaware and has full limited liability company power to own, lease, operate and use the Purchased Assets as they are now owned, leased, operated and used, and to carry on the Business as it is currently being conducted. Seller is duly qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the character of its Assets (including the Purchased Assets) or nature of its business (including the Business) makes such qualification necessary, and each such jurisdiction where Seller is qualified and licensed to do business is set forth in Section 4.1(a) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(b)Seller has all necessary limited liability company power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to be executed and delivered by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to Section 3.6.1 (collectively, the “Seller Closing Documents”), to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Transactions. The execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement and the Seller Closing Documents, the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by Seller of the Transactions have been duly authorized by all requisite limited liability company action on the part of Seller. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (the “Enforceability Exceptions”). Upon the execution and delivery by Seller of each of the Seller Closing Documents, each of the Seller Closing Documents (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer and each other party thereto, if applicable) will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions. No direct or indirect equity holder of Seller has or will have any appraisal rights, dissenters’ rights or other similar rights with respect to the Transactions under applicable Law, pursuant to any Organizational Documents or otherwise.

(c)Parent is the sole member of Seller and no other Person has any ownership, investment, financial or governance rights or interest, or option or warrant to acquire any such right or interest, in Seller whatsoever. Seller does not have, and has never had, any Subsidiaries and does not own any securities in, or otherwise control, directly or indirectly, any other Person.

4.2 Title to Purchased Assets. Except as set forth in Section 4.2 of the Disclosure Schedule, Seller has good and valid (and, in the case of the Owned Real Property, good and marketable fee simple) title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.

4.3 Condition and Sufficiency of Assets; Inventory.

(a)The Purchased Assets are structurally sound and are in good operating condition and repair, and to Seller’s Knowledge and except as otherwise disclosed on Section 4.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Purchased Assets is in need of maintenance or repair, except for ordinary, routine maintenance and repair that are not material in nature or cost. The Purchased Assets are sufficient for the continued conduct of the Business after the Closing in substantially the same manner as currently conducted and constitute all of the Assets and rights necessary to conduct the Business as currently conducted by Seller.

(b)All of the Inventory consists of a quality and quantity useable for its intended purpose and saleable in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, none of which is slow-moving, obsolete, damaged or defective, except for slow-moving, obsolete, damaged or defective items that have been written off or written down to net realizable value or for which adequate reserves have been established on the face of the Financial Statements (as opposed to within any notes to the Financial Statements). The quantities of each item of Inventory are not excessive, but are reasonable in the present circumstances of Seller and consistent with accepted industry practice and Seller’s operating and financial forecasts.

Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the Seller Closing Documents by Seller nor the consummation by Seller of the Transactions will: (a) contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of the Organizational Documents of Seller; (b) contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Law applicable to Seller in any material respect; (c) except as set forth in Section 4.4 of the Disclosure Schedule, require the Consent of, notice to or other action by any Person under, contravene, conflict with, result in a violation or breach of, constitute a default under or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under, or give any Person the right to declare a default or exercise any remedy under, accelerate the maturity or performance of or payment under, or cancel, terminate or modify any Material Contract; or (d) result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance, other than Permitted Encumbrances, upon any of the Purchased Assets, except in the cases of clauses (b) and (c), with respect to the HSR Act. No Consent, Permit, Governmental Order, declaration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required by or with respect to Seller in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Seller Closing Documents and the consummation of the Transactions, except as may be required under the HSR Act and as set forth in Section 4.4 of the Disclosure Schedule.

4.5 Brokers. Except for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Inc., no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Seller.

4.6 Financial Information.

(a)Attached to Section 4.6(a) of the Disclosure Schedule are true, correct and complete copies of (i) Parent’s consolidated audited financial statements consisting of the balance sheets of Parent as of December 31, 2013 and 2014, and the related statements of income and retained earnings, members’ equity and cash flow for the years then ended (collectively, the “Audited Financial Statements”), and (ii) unaudited financial statements consisting of the balance sheet of Seller as of March 31, 2015, and the related statements of income and retained earnings, members’ equity and cash flow for the three-month period then ended (collectively, the “Interim Financial Statements” and together with the Audited Financial Statements, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the period involved, subject, in the case of the Interim Financial Statements, to changes resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments (the effect of which will not be materially adverse) and except as to the absence of footnotes (that, if presented, would not differ materially from those presented in the Audited Financial Statements). The Financial Statements present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of Parent and Seller as of the respective dates they were prepared and the results of the operations and cash flows of Parent and Seller for the periods indicated. The consolidated audited balance sheet of Parent as of December 31, 2014 is referred to herein as the “Audited Balance Sheet” and the date thereof as the “Audited Balance Sheet Date”. The unaudited interim balance sheet of Seller as of March 31, 2015 is referred to herein as the “Interim Balance Sheet” and the date thereof as the “Interim Balance Sheet Date”. The accounting records of Seller accurately reflect in all material respects the Assets, Liabilities and results of operations of Seller and have been maintained in accordance with good business and bookkeeping practices.

(b)All of the accounts and notes receivable reflected on the Interim Balance Sheet and all of the accounts and notes receivable arising after the Interim Balance Sheet Date (collectively, the “Accounts Receivable”) constitute valid claims arising from bona fide transactions in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and there are no known or asserted claims, valid legal defenses, refusals to pay or other rights of offset against any of the Accounts Receivables, except for normal cash discounts accrued in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. There has not been a materially adverse change in the composition of the Accounts Receivable arising after the Interim Balance Sheet Date, in terms of aging, as reflected in the accounting records of Seller as of the Closing Date as compared to the Accounts Receivable as reflected on the Interim Balance Sheet. None of the Accounts Receivable is subject to prior assignment or Encumbrances. Where any of the Accounts Receivable arose out of secured transactions, all financing statements and other instruments required to be filed or recorded to perfect the title or security interest of Seller have been properly filed, recorded and maintained. The reserve for bad debts established on the Interim Balance Sheet or, with respect to those Accounts Receivable arising after the Interim Balance Sheet Date, on the accounting records of Seller, has been determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, subject to changes resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments (the effect of which will not be materially adverse).

(c)Except as set forth in Section 4.6(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no capital expenditures that Seller plans to make, or to Seller’s Knowledge would, without taking into account the consummation of the Transactions, need to make during the current fiscal year in order to comply with applicable Laws or to continue the Business in substantially the same manner as currently conducted by Seller. Seller has not foregone or otherwise materially altered any planned capital expenditure in anticipation of the Transactions.

Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 8.2(a) (other than with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties in Section 4.18 (Taxes)) for any Losses related thereto for which Seller would, but for this sentence, be liable that exceed an amount equal to $14,000,000 (the “Indemnity Cap”), including any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount previously distributed from the Escrow Account to, on behalf of or for the benefit of Seller. Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 8.2(a) (solely with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties in Section 4.18 (Taxes)) for any Losses related thereto for which Seller would, but for this sentence, be liable that exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price. As set forth in the PICO Holdings Guaranty, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it will look first to the then current balance of the Indemnification Escrow Amount held in the Escrow Account for any Losses prior to seeking recovery under the PICO Holdings Guaranty.

(b)Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 8.3(a) (other than with respect to the Buyer Fundamental Representations) until the aggregate amount of all Losses related thereto for which Buyer would, but for this sentence, be liable equals or exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to the Deductible, in which event Buyer shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Deductible.

The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover under applicable insurance policies for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

(d)In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive damages, unless an Indemnified Party is required to pay punitive damages in connection with a Third-Party Claim.

(e)The representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations of the Parties, and an Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto or otherwise under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, as applicable, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives, or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party knew or should have known that any such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation is, was or might be inaccurate, breached or not complied with, or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 7.3.

8.5 Indemnification Procedures for Third-Party Claims.

(a)If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Legal Proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party or a Representative of a Party or an Affiliate of a Party (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence that is then readily available to the Indemnified Party and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(b)The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after being notified of a Third-Party Claim by the Indemnified Party and unconditionally acknowledging in writing the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel (such counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.5(d), it shall have the right to take such action as it reasonably deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof and, in any event, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised as to the status of such defense. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to timely notify the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.5(d), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of such Third-Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.5) records relating to such Third-Party Claim (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) and making available, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending Party, management employees of the non-defending Party in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the non-defending Party, as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if (i) the Indemnifying Party is given notice of a Third-Party Claim in compliance with Section 8.5(a) and fails to notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election to defend such Third-Party Claim within the time prescribed in Section 8.5(b) or fails to unconditionally acknowledge in writing the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim; (ii) the claim for indemnification is based upon, arises out of, is with respect to or is by reason of any criminal or quasi-criminal Legal Proceeding; (iii) the relief sought in connection with the Third-Party Claim is not solely monetary damages; (iv) the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based upon advice of counsel, that either a conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim or there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; (v) the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Losses relating to such Third-Party Claim could exceed the Indemnification Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account; (vi) the Third-Party Claim is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a customer or supplier of the Indemnified Party; or (vii) the defense of the Third-Party Claim is not instituted and continuously maintained in good faith by the Indemnifying Party, then, in any such case, the Indemnified Party is entitled to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and assert a claim against the Indemnifying Party for indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this ARTICLE VIII, with the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense to be included in the amount of Losses sought pursuant to such indemnification. The Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in good faith with the Indemnified Party with respect to the transfer of the defense of such Third-Party Claim from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 8.5(c).

Table of Contents

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this Section 8.5(d). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to Liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.5(b) or Section 8.5(c), the Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

8.6 Indemnification Procedures for Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party by giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request, in each such case, in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such Direct Claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

8.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

8.8 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 3.5, Section 6.12 and Section 10.10, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this ARTICLE VIII are to be their sole and exclusive remedies with respect to any and all claims based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of matters covered by this Agreement, other than claims based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of (a) any fraud or willful misconduct, or (b) the Restrictive Covenant Agreements (which are to be governed in accordance with the terms therein). Nothing in this Section 8.8 shall interfere with or impede the operation of Section 3.5 (including with respect to the resolution of the Disputed Matters by the Parties and the Independent Accountant) or Section 6.12, or limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 10.10 or to seek any remedy on account of fraud or willful misconduct.

Table of Contents

8.9 Payment; Escrow. After (a) any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction (b) a settlement shall have been consummated, or (c) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement, in each case, with respect to a Third-Party Claim or a Direct Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this ARTICLE VIII. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 8.10, Buyer has the right, in Buyer’s sole discretion, to set-off (or holdback pending resolution of the related claim) any sums due and owing by Seller in accordance with this ARTICLE VIII against any amounts payable to Seller under this Agreement or otherwise, including the Adjustment Amount and Final Derivative Adjustment, if either the Adjustment Amount or the Final Derivative Adjustment is payable by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 3.5.2(d). To the extent not set-off in accordance with the foregoing sentence, any sums due and owing by Seller to any Buyer Indemnified Party in accordance with this ARTICLE VIII shall be paid first by release of funds to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party from the Indemnification Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Escrow Agreement. To the extent the Indemnification Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account is fully extinguished or insufficient to pay any remaining sums due and owing by Seller to any Buyer Indemnified Party in accordance with this ARTICLE VIII, then Seller shall be required to pay to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party all of such additional sums (subject to Section 8.4(a)) by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of the earliest event to occur that is described in the first sentence of this Section 8.9. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any amounts paid to a Buyer Indemnified Party through any set-off right provided to Buyer under this Agreement, out of the Escrow Account pursuant to this Section 8.9 or through payments made under the PICO Holdings Guaranty shall be counted towards the applicable maximum aggregate liability limitation set forth in Section 8.4(a). In the event any sums are due and owing by Buyer to any Seller Indemnified Party in accordance with this ARTICLE VIII, Buyer shall pay such sums by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchase Price Bank Account within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of the earliest event to occur that is described in the first sentence of this Section 8.9.

8.10 Set-Off. Prior to effecting any right of set-off provided to Buyer under this Agreement, and without prejudice to any other rights of the Parties, Buyer shall give to Seller a written statement (a “Set-Off Statement”) setting forth the total amount proposed to be set-off and a description of the facts and circumstances that Buyer believes gives rise to such claimed right of set-off. In the event that Buyer has given Seller a Set-Off Statement, Buyer is not to be deemed to have defaulted in the payment of the amount subject to such Set-Off Statement that has otherwise become due and payable on or after the date of such Set-Off Statement, unless and until Buyer fails to comply with the written agreement of the Parties or a final determination with respect to such Set-Off Statement. If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of a Set-Off Statement, Seller has not delivered to Buyer a written notice of any good faith objection to such Set-Off Statement specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such objection, as well as the Disputed Matters and the amount of any proposed adjustments (a “Dispute Notice”), then Buyer is permitted, without further notice and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to Buyer, to effect the set-off right subject to such Set-Off Statement, and such action is to be deemed final, binding and conclusive on Seller for all purposes and not subject to further dispute or challenge. If Seller timely delivers to Buyer a Dispute Notice in accordance with this Section 8.10, then the Parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve the Disputed Matters (and, for avoidance of doubt, all other issues contemplated by such Set-Off Statement are to be deemed final, binding and conclusive on Seller). If Seller and Buyer fail to fully resolve all of the Disputed Matters within twenty (20) days following Buyer’s receipt of such Dispute Notice, then each of the Parties is permitted to pursue all other legal remedies available to such Party.

Accounting Methodology

Overview

This document sets forth the methodology used to compute Seller’s Net Working Capital at Closing for which the included balance sheet accounts are defined in Exhibit C. The computation will be determined consistent with the accounting principles, policies, methodologies, practices and procedures used in preparing Seller’s Audited Financial Statements. If there are differences between Seller’s historical accounting and the methodology described below, the below shall prevail to the extent such Assets were historically recorded on the balance sheet and Liabilities transferred as part of the Transactions. These balance sheet categories are further defined below:

Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are recorded at their estimated net realizable value and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Seller does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Accounts are considered past due if payment is not made on a timely basis in accordance with Seller’s credit terms. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off. Seller follows a policy of providing an allowance for doubtful accounts when deemed necessary; however, based on historical experience, and its evaluation of the status of receivables, Seller believes that all accounts are collectible in all material respects and thus an allowance is not necessary.

Prepaid Expenses -The only prepaid items to be included in the computation of working capital at Closing is prepayments of seed.

Inventory - Canola seed, oil, and meal inventory balances reflect the net realizable value using spot prices from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or Bloomberg for Soybean Oil (BOY00), Soybean Meal (SMY00), Nat Gas (NNY00) and the spot exchange rate for CAD to USD. The spot canola meal and canola RBD oil basis per Global Risk Management on the day of closing is then applied and multiplied by the applicable volume on-hand. For purposes of canola seed, the inventory will be valued using the posted bid price at Enderlin and Altona for inventory held at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, respectively. Such posted bid prices for seed may be contested by either Party only to the extent an aggregate difference of $300,000 in the value of Canola seed inventory, inclusive of Canola seed forwards, would result from the use of alternative market pricing data from an independent third party. Crude canola oil will be valued at a $0.01 discount to canola RBD oil.

Not all of Seller’s Inventory is carried at net realizable value. Production inventories, such as hexane, distillate, citric acid, etc., will be recorded at cost as those do not meet the criteria to be marked to net realizable value.

Accounts Payable - Accounts payable are recorded at the invoiced amount as the invoices are received from vendors. Accrued Payables for raw materials received but not invoiced are included in accounts payable.

Accrued Expenses - Accrued expenses are recorded for transactions where goods have been received and/or services performed where an invoice has been received but not in time to process through accounts payable. accrued expenses are also recorded for transactions where goods have been received and/or services performed where no invoice is received and an estimated accrued expense is recorded based on the best available information to determine the liability at the time of reporting. Accrued expenses include, but are not limited to, utilities, rail service/leases, freight, maintenance and production chemicals.

EXHIBIT B-2

Derivative Computation Methodology

1. Overview.

The base purchase price paid is subject to increase or decrease by an amount equal to the value (negative or positive) of all of the Seller’s derivative positions and forward sales and purchase contracts as of close of business on the date of Closing. As the valuation of the Seller’s commodity derivatives and forward sales and purchase contracts (the “Derivatives and Forward Contracts Value”) fluctuates on a day to day basis, this document sets forth the methodology to be used to calculate the Derivatives and Forward Contracts Value at a given point in time.

The basic valuation principle is for purposes of the Derivatives and Forward Contracts Value is that, derivative positions, defined as futures (including canola seed, soybean meal and soybean oil) and forward sales and purchase contracts (including canola seed, canola meal and canola oil), will be valued at fair market value inclusive of basis.

Valuation methodologies for the specific commodity derivative positions and commodity forward sales and purchase contracts that comprise the aggregate Derivatives and Forward Contracts Value are detailed individually below.

2. Derivative Positions.

All open derivative positions that have not been settled prior to closing and are transferred as part of the assumed contracts will be valued as part of the Derivatives and Forward Contracts Value. All prices will be based on the closing prices of the individual commodities for the appropriate delivery periods on the respective exchanges on the day of Closing.

3. Physical Canola Seed Forward Purchases.

Seller contracts for the purchase of canola seed using basis and flat price contracts. The value of the outstanding forward purchase contracts will be marked to market based on the posted bid prices at Enderlin, ND and Altona, MB for forwards with delivery contracted to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Winkler at Closing, respectively. Such posted bid prices for seed may be contested by either party only to the extent an aggregate difference of $300,000 in the value of canola seed forwards inclusive of canola seed inventory would result from the use of alternative market pricing data from an independent 3^rd party.

The contribution to the Derivative and Forward Contracts Value related to outstanding canola seed forwards will be calculated as (i) the volume of open canola seed forwards contracted on flat price multiplied by the difference of ((a) the weighted average contract price associated with those open positions, less (b) the market price of canola seed defined as the applicable delivery month future per the ICE plus/minus basis per the posted bid sheet noted above); plus (ii) the volume of open canola seed forwards contracted at basis only multiplied by the difference of ((a) the weighted average contract basis associated with those open positions, less (b) applicable delivery month basis per the posted bid sheet noted above to result in a total dollar value). For the case where the weighted average contract price is greater than the market price, the contribution to the Derivatives and Forward Contracts Value will be negative by that total dollar value since that would imply that Seller’s purchases were above market. Likewise, if the weighted average contract price is less than the market price, the contribution to the Derivatives and Forward Contracts Value will be positive by that total dollar value since it would imply that Seller’s purchases were below market.

4. Physical Meal and Oil Forward Sales.

Seller contracts for sale of canola meal and oil using basis and flat price contracts. The value of outstanding forward sales contracts will be marked to market based on Global Risk Management (“GRM”) provided average basis observed in the market.

The contribution to the Derivative and Forward Contracts Value to account for canola meal forwards will be determined by (i) the volume of open canola meal forwards contracted on flat price multiplied by the difference of ((a) the weighted average contract price associated with those open positions, less (b) the market price of canola meal defined as the CME soybean meal price plus/minus the basis provided by GRM for the applicable month of shipment), plus (ii) the volume of open canola meal forwards contracted at basis only multiplied by the difference of ((a) the weighted average contract basis associated with those open positions, less (b) the market price of canola meal defined as applicable delivery month basis per GRM). For the case where the weighted average contract price is greater than the market price, the contribution to the Derivatives and Forward Contracts Value will be positive by that total dollar value since that would imply that Seller’s sales were above market. Likewise, if the weighted average contract price is less than the market price, the contribution to the Derivatives and Forward Contracts Value will be negative by that total dollar value since it would imply that Seller’s sales were below market.

Canola oil forwards will be priced in a manner consistent with that outlined for canola meal above, except that market prices will be based on the CME soybean oil prices and GRM average basis in the applicable months at Closing.

CHS shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any default by Master Tenant under the Leases upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, but CHS’s right to effect such cure shall extend from the date notice of default is given to CHS and, if the default is cured by CHS within such period or periods as is permitted by the applicable Lease, such Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

(b)If, at or prior to 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days immediately following the Claim Notice Delivery Date (the “Response Deadline”), the Escrow Agent receives from Seller a written objection (a “Claim Response”) to any or all of the amount of the Claim described in the Claim Notice (the “Contested Amount”), then promptly following the Response Deadline the Escrow Agent shall release to Buyer all of the amount of the Claim described in the Claim Notice, except for the Contested Amount.

(c)The Escrow Agent shall pay to Buyer the full amount of the Claim described in the Claim Notice (i) promptly following the Response Deadline, if the Escrow Agent has not received from Seller a Claim Response at or prior to the Response Deadline and Buyer has provided a written statement to the Escrow Agent stating that Buyer has delivered the Claim Notice to Seller in accordance with Section 6(a) of this Escrow Agreement; or (ii) pursuant to a Joint Written Direction promptly following the Escrow Agent’s receipt thereof.

(d)The Escrow Agent is not responsible for determining the validity or sufficiency of any Claim Notice or Claim Response. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to verify Buyer’s written statement confirming delivery to Seller of a copy of a Claim Notice. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to provide Buyer, Seller or their respective Appointed Persons any Claim Notice or Claim Response.

7.Investment of Funds. Based upon Buyer’s and Seller’s prior review of investment alternatives, in the absence of further specific written direction to the contrary, the Escrow Agent is directed to initially invest and reinvest the Escrow Amount in the investment indicated on Schedule B of this Escrow Agreement. Buyer and Seller are entitled to change the investment of the Escrow Amount by providing the Escrow Agent with a Joint Written Direction to that effect, except that no investment or reinvestment is to be made except in the following: (a) direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations the principal of and the interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United State of America; (b) U.S. dollar denominated deposit accounts and certificates of deposits issued by any bank, bank and trust company, or national banking association (including the Escrow Agent and its affiliates), which such deposits are either (i) insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or a similar governmental agency, or (ii) with domestic commercial banks that have a rating on their short-term certificates of deposit on the date of purchase of “A-1” or “A-l+” by S&P or “P-1” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and maturing no more than three hundred sixty (360) days after the date of purchase (ratings on holding companies are not considered as the rating of the bank); (c) repurchase agreements with any bank, trust company, or national banking association (including the Escrow Agent and its affiliates); or (d) institutional money market funds, including funds managed by the Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates; provided that the Escrow Agent will not be required to invest in investments that the Escrow Agent determines, in the Escrow Agent’s discretion exercised in good faith, are not consistent with the Escrow Agent’s policy or practices. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the Escrow Agent does not have a duty nor will the Escrow Agent undertake any duty to provide investment advice.

If the Escrow Agent has not received a Joint Written Direction at any time that an investment decision must be made, the Escrow Agent is directed to invest the Escrow Amount, or such portion of the Escrow Amount as to which no written investment instruction has been received, in the investment indicated on Schedule B of this Escrow Agreement. All investments will be made in the name of the Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent is permitted to, without notice to Buyer and Seller, sell or liquidate any of the foregoing investments at any time for any disbursement of the Escrow Amount permitted or required pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. All investment earnings on the Escrow Amount will become part of the Escrow Amount and investment losses on the Escrow Amount will be charged against the Escrow Amount.

After any resigning Escrow Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Escrow Agreement will inure to such resigning Escrow Agent’s benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by such resigning Escrow Agent while such resigning Escrow Agent was serving as the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement.

9.Binding Effect; Successors. This Escrow Agreement is binding upon the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns.

10.Liability of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Escrow Agreement and no duties are to be implied. The Escrow Agent has no fiduciary or discretionary duties of any kind. The Escrow Agent has no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Escrow Agreement, including, without limitation, any other agreement between any or all of the Parties or any other persons or entities even though reference to such agreement is made in this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent is not liable for any action taken or omitted by the Escrow Agent in good faith, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct caused any loss to Buyer or Seller. The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility is the safekeeping and disbursement of the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent is not to be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth in this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent is permitted to rely upon any notice, instruction, request or other instrument, not only as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, that the Escrow Agent believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same. In no event will the Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages or penalties (including, without limitation, lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damages or penalties and regardless of the form of action. The Escrow Agent is not responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond the Escrow Agent’s control, including, without limitation, acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war or terror, epidemics, governmental regulations, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. The Escrow Agent is not obligated to take any legal action or commence any proceeding in connection with the Escrow Amount, any account in which the Escrow Amount is deposited, this Escrow Agreement or the Underlying Agreement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or proceeding. The Escrow Agent is permitted to consult legal counsel selected by the Escrow Agent in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement or of any other agreement related to this Escrow Agreement or of the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Escrow Agreement, or relating to any dispute involving any Party related to this Escrow Agreement, and will incur no liability and will be fully indemnified from any liability whatsoever in acting in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel. Buyer and Seller, jointly and severally, shall promptly pay, upon demand, the reasonable fees and expenses of any such counsel. Buyer and Seller agree to perform or procure the performance of all further acts and things, and execute and deliver such further documents, as are required by law or as the Escrow Agent reasonably requests in connection with the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Escrow Agreement.

The Escrow Agent is authorized, in the Escrow Agent’s sole discretion, to comply with final orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Amount, without determination by the Escrow Agent of such court’s jurisdiction in the matter. If any portion of the Escrow Amount is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property is stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, writ, judgment or decree is made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such event, the Escrow Agent is authorized, in the Escrow Agent’s sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree that the Escrow Agent is advised by legal counsel selected by the Escrow Agent is binding upon the Escrow Agent; and if the Escrow Agent complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, the Escrow Agent will not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other person or entity by reason of such compliance even if such order, writ, judgment or decree is subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

11.Indemnification of the Escrow Agent. From and at all times after the date of this Escrow Agreement, Buyer and Seller, jointly and severally, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of the Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any person or entity, including, without limitation, Buyer, Seller or their respective Appointed Persons, whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any person or entity under any statute or regulation, including, without limitation, any federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance in connection with this Escrow Agreement or any transactions contemplated by this Escrow Agreement, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation, except that no Indemnified Party has the right to be indemnified under this Escrow Agreement for any liability determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Buyer and Seller further agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Indemnified Party for all costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the enforcement of Buyer’s and Seller’s indemnification obligations hereunder. Each Indemnified Party, in such Indemnified Party’s sole discretion, has the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against such Indemnified Party, and Buyer and Seller shall, jointly and severally, pay the reasonable fees of such counsel upon demand. The obligations of Buyer and Seller under this Section 11 are to survive any termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

The Parties agree that neither the payment by Buyer or Seller of any claim by an Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder nor the disbursement of any amounts to the Escrow Agent from the Escrow Amount in respect of a claim by an Indemnified Party for indemnification is to impair, limit, modify, or affect, as between Buyer and Seller, the respective rights and obligations of Buyer and Seller under the Underlying Agreement.

12.Compensation of the Escrow Agent

(a)Fees and Expenses. Buyer and Seller agree, jointly and severally, to compensate the Escrow Agent on demand for the Escrow Agent’s services pursuant to this Escrow Agreement in accordance with Schedule A of this Escrow Agreement. Without limiting the joint and several nature of their obligations to the Escrow Agent, Buyer and Seller agree between themselves that each will be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Agent’s compensation. The obligations of Buyer and Seller under this Section 12 are to survive any termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

(b)Disbursements from the Escrow Amount to Pay the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent is authorized to disburse to itself from the Escrow Amount, from time to time, the amount of any compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses past due and payable pursuant to this Escrow Agreement (including any amount the Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified for pursuant to this Escrow Agreement). The Escrow Agent shall notify Buyer and Seller of any disbursement from the Escrow Amount to itself or any Indemnified Party in respect of any compensation or reimbursement pursuant to this Escrow Agreement and shall furnish Buyer and Seller copies of related invoices and other statements.

(c)Offset. Buyer and Seller hereby grant to the Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties a right of offset against the Escrow Amount with respect to any compensation or reimbursement due any of them pursuant to this Escrow Agreement (including any amount the Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified for pursuant to this Escrow Agreement). If for any reason the Escrow Amount is insufficient to cover such compensation and reimbursement, Buyer and Seller shall promptly pay such amounts to the Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party upon receipt of an itemized invoice.

13.Representations and Warranties. Each of Buyer and Seller makes the following representations and warranties, solely as to itself, to the Escrow Agent:

(a)such Party has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Escrow Agreement and to perform such Party’s obligations under this Escrow Agreement; and this Escrow Agreement has been duly approved by all necessary action of such Party and constitutes such Party’s valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy laws, other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies; and

14.Identifying Information. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who or entity that opens an account. For an entity such as a business entity, a charity, a trust, or other legal entity, the Escrow Agent requires documentation to verify such entity’s formation and existence as a legal entity. The Escrow Agent may ask to see financial statements, licenses, and identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. The Parties acknowledge that a portion of the identifying information set forth herein is being requested by the Escrow Agent in connection with the USA Patriot Act, Pub.L.107-56 (the “Act”), and each agrees to provide any additional information requested by the Escrow Agent in connection with the Act or any other legislation or regulation to which the Escrow Agent is subject, in a timely manner.

17.Optional Security Procedures. In the event funds transfer instructions, address changes or change in contact information are given (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Escrow Agreement), whether in writing, by facsimile or otherwise, the Escrow Agent is authorized, but is under no duty to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the applicable Appointed Persons, and the Escrow Agent is entitled to rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be such Appointed Person. The Appointed Persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent and will be effective only after the Escrow Agent has had a reasonable opportunity to act on such changes. Buyer and Seller agree that the Escrow Agent is permitted, at the Escrow Agent’s option, to record any telephone calls made pursuant to this Section 17. The Escrow Agent in any funds transfer is permitted to rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by Buyer and Seller to identify (a) the beneficiary, (b) the beneficiary’s bank, or (c) an intermediary bank. The Escrow Agent is permitted to apply any of the Escrow Amount, as applicable, for any payment order the Escrow Agent executes using any such identifying number, even when its use results in a person or an entity other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank designated. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that these optional security procedures are commercially reasonable.

18.Waiver and Assignment. Neither the failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right under this Escrow Agreement is to operate as a waiver of such right, and no single or partial exercise of any such right is to preclude any other or further exercise of such right or the exercise of any other right. Except as provided in Section 9 of this Escrow Agreement, this Escrow Agreement may not be assigned by any Party without the written consent of the other Parties.

19.Severability. Any term or provision of this Escrow Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction is to be, as to that jurisdiction, ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms or provisions of this Escrow Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Escrow Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any term or provision of this Escrow Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such term or provision is to be interpreted to be only as broad as is enforceable.

20.Governing Law. This Escrow Agreement is to be governed by, construed under and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to any conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of any other laws.

21.Entire Agreement; Modification; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Escrow Agreement (together with the Schedules attached to this Escrow Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Parties are not permitted to amend this Escrow Agreement, except by a written agreement signed by all Parties. Nothing in this Escrow Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other person or entity any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Escrow Agreement.

22.Execution in Counterparts, Electronic Transmission of Signatures. The Parties are permitted to execute this Escrow Agreement and any Joint Written Direction in one or more counterparts, each of such counterparts is to be deemed to be an original copy of this Escrow Agreement and any such Joint Written Direction, respectively, and all of which, when taken together, are to be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Escrow Agreement, any Joint Written Direction, any Seller Written Direction, any Claim Notice, any Claim Response and any signature pages thereto by facsimile, electronic mail or other electronic transmission is to constitute effective execution and delivery of this Escrow Agreement and any such Joint Written Direction, Seller Written Direction, Claim Notice and Claim Response, respectively, as to the Parties. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by facsimile, electronic mail or other electronic transmission are to be deemed to be their original signatures for any purpose whatsoever.

23.Termination. This Escrow Agreement is to terminate upon the distribution of all of the Escrow Amount pursuant to any applicable provision of this Escrow Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall thereafter have no further obligation or liability whatsoever with respect to this Escrow Agreement or the Escrow Amount.

24.Dealings. The Escrow Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Escrow Agent is permitted to buy, sell, and deal in any of the securities of Buyer or Seller and become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which Buyer or Seller is interested, and contract and lend money to Buyer or Seller and otherwise act as fully and freely as though the Escrow Agent were not the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement. Nothing in this Escrow Agreement is to preclude the Escrow Agent from acting in any other capacity for Buyer, Seller or any other person or entity.

25.Brokerage Confirmation Waiver. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant either the right to receive brokerage confirmations for certain security transactions as they occur, Buyer and Seller specifically waive receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by law. The Escrow Agent shall furnish Buyer and Seller periodic cash transaction statements that include detail for all investment transactions made by the Escrow Agent.

26.Tax Reporting. The Escrow Agent has no responsibility for the tax consequences of this Escrow Agreement and Buyer and Seller shall consult with independent counsel concerning any and all tax matters. Buyer and Seller shall provide the Escrow Agent with an IRS Form W-9 or original IRS Form W-8, as applicable, for each payee, together with any other documentation and information requested by the Escrow Agent in connection with the Escrow Agent’s reporting obligations under applicable IRS regulations. If such tax documentation is not so provided, the Escrow Agent shall withhold taxes as required by the IRS. Buyer and Seller have determined that any interest or income on the Escrow Amount shall be reported on an accrual basis and deemed to be for the account of Seller. Buyer and Seller shall prepare and file all required tax filings with the IRS and any other applicable taxing authority; provided that the Parties further agree that:

(a)Escrow Agent IRS Reporting. Buyer and Seller shall provide the Escrow Agent with all information requested by the Escrow Agent in connection with the preparation of all applicable IRS Form 1099 and IRS Form 1042-S documents with respect to all distributions as well as in the performance of the Escrow Agent’s reporting obligations under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act or other applicable law or regulation.

(b)Withholding Requests and Indemnification. Buyer and Seller jointly and severally agree to (i) assume all obligations imposed now or hereafter by any applicable tax law or regulation with respect to payments or performance under this Escrow Agreement, (ii) request the Escrow Agent in writing with respect to withholding and other taxes, assessments or other governmental charges, and advise the Escrow Agent in writing with respect to any certifications and governmental reporting that is required under any applicable laws or regulations, and (iii) indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless pursuant to Section 11 of this Escrow Agreement from any liability or obligation on account of taxes, assessments, additions for late payment, interest, penalties, expenses and other governmental charges that is assessed or asserted against the Escrow Agent with respect to the Escrow Amount.

(c)Imputed Interest. To the extent that IRS imputed interest regulations apply, Buyer and Seller shall so inform the Escrow Agent, provide the Escrow Agent with all imputed interest calculations and direct the Escrow Agent to disburse imputed interest amounts as Buyer and Seller deem appropriate. The Escrow Agent shall rely solely on such provided calculations and information and has no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any such calculations or information.

27.WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. ANY PARTY IS PERMITTED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION 27 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES TO IRREVOCABLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY, AND THAT ANY LAWSUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER AMONG THE PARTIES RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT IS INSTEAD TO BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

28.Publicity. No Party will (a) use any other Party’s proprietary indicia, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, symbols, or brand names, or (b) otherwise refer to or identify any other Party in advertising, publicity releases, or promotional or marketing publications, or correspondence to third parties without, in each case, securing the prior written consent of such other Party.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a Trust or other legal entity we will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. We may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification, and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.

EXHIBIT I-1

Restrictive Covenant Agreement (Entity Form)

[See Attached]

RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AGREEMENT

This Restrictive Covenant Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of [∙], 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by and between CHS ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“CHS”), and [∙], a [∙] (the “Restricted Party” and, together with CHS, the “Parties”).¹

RECITALS ²

A.[The Parties/CHS and PICO Northstar ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”)] entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of [∙], 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the [Restricted Party/Company] agreed to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer agreed to purchase and assume from the [Restricted Party/Company], substantially all of the assets of the [Restricted Party/Company] and certain specifically enumerated liabilities of the [Restricted Party/Company (the “Transaction”) related to the plant processing canola seeds and refining canola oils located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Hallock Plant”), for the consideration and on the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

B.The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Restricted Party is an inducement to and a condition precedent to CHS’s willingness to enter into the Purchase Agreement and consummate the Transaction.

C.The Restricted Party[, as an affiliate of the Company,] will derive significant economic benefit as a result of the consummation of the Transaction.

AGREEMENT

The Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Confidentiality. The Restricted Party acknowledges the highly competitive nature of the businesses of CHS and its affiliates (collectively, the “CHS Group”) and accordingly agrees as follows:

(a)From the Effective Date and during the three (3) year period immediately following the Effective Date (the “Restricted Period”), the Restricted Party shall not, whether on the Restricted Party’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person or entity (including, PICO Northstar Oklahoma, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PICO Oklahoma”)), directly or indirectly, solicit or assist in soliciting, in competition with the CHS Group with respect to the Competitive Business (as defined in Section 1(b)(i)), the business of any customer or prospective customer of the Hallock Plant:

(i)with whom the Restricted Party or its subsidiaries or affiliates had contact or dealings during the one (1) year period immediately preceding the Effective Date; or

(ii)with whom employees of the Restricted Party or its subsidiaries or affiliates had personal contact or dealings during the one (1) year period immediately preceding the Effective Date.

(b)During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Party shall not, whether on the Restricted Party’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person or entity (including PICO Oklahoma), directly or indirectly:

(i)engage in the business of processing canola seeds and refining canola oils (the “Competitive Business”) anywhere within a two hundred fifty (250) mile radius of the Hallock Plant (the “Restricted Area”); or

(ii)acquire a financial interest in any Competitive Business, directly or indirectly, anywhere within the Restricted Area, provided that such limitation shall not limit the Restricted Party from purchasing, directly or indirectly, any publicly traded securities of an entity involved in any Competitive Business, provided such Restricted Party’s interest in such entity does not exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding securities of such entity.

¹NTD: Execution version to include name of Restricted Party: (1) PICO Holdings, Inc.; (2) PICO Northstar Management, LLC; (3) PICO Northstar, LLC; and (4) PICO Northstar ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC.

²NTD: Appropriate version of bracketed language to be included based on identity of the Restricted Party (e.g., PICO Northstar ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC vs. other Restricted Parties).

(c)During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Party shall not, whether on the Restricted Party’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person or entity (including PICO Oklahoma), directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage any employee or independent contractor of the CHS Group located at or related to the Hallock Plant to leave the employment or service of the CHS Group, or otherwise in any way interfere with the relationship between such employee or independent contractor and the CHS Group; provided, however, that the Restricted Party shall not be prohibited from hiring an employee or independent contractor of CHS located at the Hallock Plant should that person respond to a general solicitation not directed at such employee or independent contractor.

(d)[The Restricted Party acknowledges that the information and data (including trade secrets) concerning the business or affairs of the Hallock Plant (the “Confidential Information”) are the property of the CHS Group. During the five (5) year period immediately following the Effective Date, the Restricted Party shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or entity or use for the Restricted Party’s own account any of the Confidential Information, unless and only to the extent that the Confidential Information (i) becomes generally known to and available for use by the public, other than as a result of the Restricted Party’s acts or omissions to act, or (ii) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable laws (in which case the Restricted Party shall promptly notify the CHS Group of such requirement and reasonably assist the CHS Group, at the CHS Group’s cost, in obtaining a protective order necessary to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information). The Restricted Party shall take reasonable and appropriate steps to safeguard the Confidential Information and to protect the Confidential Information against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CHS, on behalf of the CHS Group, acknowledges and agrees that Confidential Information does not apply to the financial information and results of operations of the Company prior to the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Company Financial Information”), and such Company Financial Information remains the property of the Company. Further, the Restricted Party and its affiliates shall not be precluded from disclosing any such Company Financial Information as the Restricted Party reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for purposes of meeting its obligations under applicable laws, including in any reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or to be disclosed to its shareholders.] ³

[The Restricted Party acknowledges that the information and data (including trade secrets) concerning the business or affairs of the Hallock Plant (the “Confidential Information”) are the property of the CHS Group. The Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that it is subject to and will abide by Section 6.5 of the Purchase Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).] ⁴

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Restricted Party or any of its affiliates from selling PICO Oklahoma or any or all of the assets of PICO Oklahoma to any non-affiliated party, even if such non-affiliated party intends to engage in a Competitive Business.

2.Enforcement.

(a)It is expressly understood and agreed that although the Parties consider the restrictions contained in Section 1 to be reasonable and not any greater than reasonably necessary to protect the CHS Group, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the duration, scope or geographical area or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against the Restricted Party, the provisions of this Agreement are not to be rendered void, but are to be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum duration, scope and geographical area and to such maximum extent as such court judicially determines or indicates to be enforceable, and the Parties shall revise the restrictions contained in this Agreement to cover the maximum duration, scope and geographical area permitted by applicable law. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding is not to affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained in this Agreement.

³ NTD: Foregoing paragraph to be used in Restrictive Covenant Agreement with PICO Holdings, Inc., PICO Northstar Management, LLC and PICO Northstar, LLC.

⁴ NTD: Foregoing paragraph to be used in Restrictive Covenant Agreement with PICO Northstar ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC.

(b)The Restricted Party acknowledges that the CHS Group’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 1 would be inadequate and the CHS Group would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened breach. In recognition of this fact, the Restricted Party agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the CHS Group, without the necessity of posting any bond or other form of security or proving damages, is to be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy that is then available.

(c)In the event of a breach by the Restricted Party of this Agreement, the Restricted Period is to be extended by the duration of such breach.

3.Additional Acknowledgments. The Restricted Party acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement are in consideration of: (a) the Transaction, including the [Restricted Party’s/Company’s] right to receive the purchase price and other consideration contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and (b) additional good and valuable consideration as set forth in this Agreement. The Restricted Party acknowledges that the purchase price and other consideration contemplated by the Purchase Agreement that the [Restricted Party/Company] is to receive is sufficient to support the Restricted Party’s obligations under this Agreement. In addition, the Restricted Party acknowledges (i) that the business of the CHS Group is or could be conducted throughout the Restricted Area and beyond, and (ii) notwithstanding the state of organization or principal office of the members of the CHS Group, or any of their officers or employees, it is expected that the CHS Group will have business activities and valuable business relationships related to the Competitive Business throughout the Restricted Area. The Restricted Party acknowledges that the potential harm to the CHS Group of the non-enforcement of any provision of this Agreement outweighs any potential harm to the Restricted Party of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. The Restricted Party acknowledges that the Restricted Party has had this Agreement carefully read on its behalf and consulted with legal counsel of the Restricted Party’s choosing regarding its contents, has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon the Restricted Party by this Agreement and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of Confidential Information now existing or to be developed in the future. The Restricted Party acknowledges that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, duration, scope and geographical area.

4.Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Subject to the terms of this Section 4, this Agreement is to apply to, and be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Neither of the Parties is permitted to assign any of such Party’s rights or delegate any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no such assignment or delegation by either Party is to relieve such Party from any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is to be construed to give any person or entity other than the Parties and the CHS Group any legal or equitable right under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as will inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section 4. The members of the CHS Group (other than CHS) are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and such members are entitled to exercise (in whole or in part) any rights granted to such members under this Agreement.

5.Notices. All notices, consents, waivers and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and are to be deemed to have been duly given when (a) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) sent by facsimile with confirmation of transmission by the transmitting equipment during regular business hours, or if not during regular business hours, the next business day, (c) sent by electronic mail during regular business hours, or if not during regular business hours, the next business day, (d) received by the addressee, if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or (e) received by the addressee, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, return receipt requested, in each case to the appropriate addresses or facsimile numbers set forth below (or to such other addresses or facsimile numbers as a Party designates by notice to the other Party in accordance with this Section 5):

PICO Holdings Guaranty

[See Attached]

GUARANTY

This GUARANTY dated as of the ____ day of July, 2015 (this “Guaranty”) is made by PICO HOLDINGS, INC., a California corporation (“Guarantor”), in favor of CHS ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Beneficiary”).

Recitals

WHEREAS, Beneficiary and PICO Northstar ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), have entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of the ____ day of July, 2015 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “APA”), pursuant to which Seller has agreed to sell and assign and Beneficiary has agreed to purchase and assume substantially all of the Assets of Seller, including the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plant, and certain specifically enumerated Liabilities of Seller (all as defined and set forth in the APA), relating to Seller’s business of processing canola seeds and refining canola oils at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plant. Terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the APA.

WHEREAS, Guarantor is the indirect parent and indirect majority member of Seller, and desires to guarantee for the benefit of Beneficiary the payment of certain amounts due by Seller, in each case as specified in, and when due under, Article VIII of the APA for the duration of the term of this Guaranty.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement executed on the Closing Date by Beneficiary, Seller and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Escrow Agent”), Beneficiary has deposited a portion of the Purchase Price, in the amount of $6,000,000 (the “Indemnification Escrow Amount”), with the Escrow Agent, to (a) provide a source of funds for the Adjustment Amount and Final Derivative Adjustment if payable by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.5.2(d) or Section 3.5.2(e) of the APA, respectively, and (b) reimburse Beneficiary for Losses relating to general indemnification matters, including breaches of or inaccuracies in representations and warranties (including those relating to environmental matters), and to those other indemnification matters identified in Section 8.2 of the APA, in each case, that have been either mutually agreed to by the parties or finally determined pursuant to Article VIII of the APA, but specifically excluding Losses that are covered exclusively by the Operations Escrow Amount (such Losses, the “General Indemnified Losses”).

WHEREAS, Seller’s maximum liability to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses under Section 8.2(a) of the APA (other than with respect to Seller Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties in Section 4.18 of the APA) is limited to the Indemnity Cap.

WHEREAS, in order to induce Beneficiary to enter into the APA, Beneficiary has requested that Guarantor guarantee the payment of General Indemnified Losses, if any, to the extent that the Indemnification Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account is fully extinguished or insufficient to pay any remaining sums due and owing by Seller to any Buyer Indemnified Party (but subject to the Guaranty Cap specified below), and Guarantor has agreed to do so by executing and delivering this Guaranty.

NOW THEREFORE, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1.Guarantee.

(a)During the period from the date hereof until the applicable termination time specified in Section 5, Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Beneficiary the satisfaction of the payment obligations of Seller under Article VIII of the APA relating to the General Indemnified Losses, as and when due, but only to the extent that the Indemnification Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account is fully extinguished or insufficient to pay any remaining sums due and owing by Seller to any Buyer Indemnified Party, and otherwise subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Guaranty (such obligations referred to herein as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations will not exceed $8,000,000, plus any amounts payable by Guarantor pursuant to Section 6(k) hereof, in the aggregate (collectively, the “Guaranty Cap”).

Guarantor hereby agrees that, except as specifically provided herein (including the limitations and conditions set forth in this Section 1(a)), and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, its performance of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be conditional on (1) the validity or enforceability of the APA or the Guaranteed Obligations, (2) the taking of any action by Beneficiary to enforce the same or (3) any other circumstances; provided, however, that Guarantor and Beneficiary explicitly acknowledge and agree, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this Guaranty is intended to, or will, override or supersede the requirements of Article VIII of the APA.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is a condition of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder that no claim for General Indemnified Losses may be made under this Guaranty until such claim first has been made to the Escrow Agent against the balance of the Indemnification Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account under the Escrow Agreement and such claim has either been (i) rejected in full in writing by the Escrow Agent because the balance of the Indemnification Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account has been fully extinguished, or (ii) rejected in part in writing by the Escrow Agent because the balance of the Indemnification Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account was insufficient to fully cover the General Indemnified Losses for which such claim was made and, after paying the balance of the Indemnification Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party for such General Indemnified Losses, a sum will remain due and owing by Seller to such Buyer Indemnified Party (in each case, with a copy of such written rejection submitted by Beneficiary to Guarantor along with any such claim for General Indemnified Losses).

(b)This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent that at any time any performance of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations or any amount owed to Beneficiary by Guarantor hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Beneficiary upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Guarantor or Seller.

(c)This is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations, including as affected by any amendment or modification of the APA.

(d)Subject to the conditions of Section 1(a), a separate action may be brought by Beneficiary and prosecuted against Guarantor, whether or not any action is brought or prosecuted against Seller or whether Seller is joined to any such action.

(e)Without notice of demand and without affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time:

(i)Guarantor authorizes Beneficiary and Seller to renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the terms of the APA; and

(ii)Guarantor authorizes Beneficiary to take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive or release any such security or any part thereof, and apply any such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Beneficiary in its commercially reasonable discretion may determine.

(f)Except as set forth in the third paragraph of Section 1(a), Guarantor waives the right to (i) require Beneficiary to proceed against or exhaust any security granted to Beneficiary by Seller or by any other person, or to pursue any other remedy in Beneficiary’s power whatsoever, and (ii) have the property of Seller first applied to discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations. Beneficiary may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy it may have against Seller or any security held by Beneficiary, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose upon any such security by judicial or nonjudicial sale, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fulfilled. Guarantor waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation or any other right or remedy of Guarantor against Seller, or any such security, whether resulting from such election by Beneficiary or otherwise. In addition, Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations has been fully performed, all rights and benefits which might otherwise be available to Guarantor with respect to the APA and this Guaranty under applicable Minnesota law of suretyship and guarantor^’s defenses generally.

(g)Provided that all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full or this Guaranty has otherwise expired pursuant to Section 5 hereof, Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Beneficiary in respect of any amounts paid by Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guaranty. Except with respect to the delivery of the written rejection by the Escrow Agent provided for in the third paragraph of Section 1(a), Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of default or delinquency, notice of acceleration, notice of nonpayment, and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty. In addition, Guarantor waives any defense based upon (a) any amendment, modification or extension of the obligations hereby guaranteed and (b) any assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Seller or any permitted assignee), or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, enjoin, condition, reduce or impair the ability of Beneficiary to enforce any rights, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, which Beneficiary may have against Guarantor related to the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor assumes the responsibility of being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Seller and all of other circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-performance of the Guaranteed Obligations which diligent inquiry would reveal, and agrees that Beneficiary shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to Beneficiary regarding such condition or any such circumstances.

(h)Except as otherwise provided in Section 1(a) and in Section 3, the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable (other than as a result of the performance of and/or compliance with the terms of such Guaranteed Obligations by Guarantor and/or Seller, or the written waiver, settlement and/or discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations by Beneficiary or the termination of this Guaranty in accordance with its terms) irrespective of the following:

(i)the lack of power or authority of Guarantor to execute and deliver this Guaranty or Seller to execute and deliver the APA;

(ii)the existence or continuance of Beneficiary, Seller or any affiliate thereof as a legal entity;

(iii)the consolidation or merger of Seller or any affiliate with or into any other corporation or other person, or the sale, lease or other disposition by Seller or any affiliate of all or substantially all of its assets to any other business entity, whether or not effected in compliance with the provisions of the APA;

(iv)the bankruptcy or insolvency of Seller or any affiliate, the admission in writing by Seller or any affiliate or its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or its making of a general assignment for the benefit of, or entering into a composition or arrangement with creditors; and

(v)any act, failure to act, delay or omission whatsoever on the part of Seller, other than the performance of and/or compliance with the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any failure to give Guarantor notice of default in the making of any payment due and payable under this Guaranty or the APA.

(i)It is not and shall not be necessary for Beneficiary to inquire into the powers of Seller, or the managers, officers, directors, partners, trustees or agents acting or purporting to act on Seller’s behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Section 2.Undertakings.

Guarantor hereby unconditionally undertakes to and on behalf of Beneficiary, until the earlier to occur of (a) the performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and (b) the termination of this Guaranty in accordance with its terms, that Guarantor will not cause, and will cause its subsidiaries not to cause, Seller (i) to file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or a voluntary petition or an answer seeking reorganization or liquidation in a proceeding under any bankruptcy laws or an answer admitting the material allegations of petition filed against Seller in any such proceeding, or (ii) to seek relief, by voluntary petition, answer or consent, under the provisions of any other bankruptcy or other extension or adjustment with creditors, or (iii) to adopt a resolution of liquidation; except in the case of clauses (i) or (ii), above, to the extent that Guarantor receives a written opinion from a nationally recognized law firm advising Guarantor that Guarantor and/or any one or more of its subsidiaries is required in the exercise of its fiduciary or other legal obligations to make such filing or seek such relief, as the case may be.

(c)Interpretation. The headings of the sections and other subdivisions of this Guaranty are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.

(d)Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of Guarantor and Beneficiary.

(e)No Waiver; Amendments. No failure on the part of either party hereto to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by either party hereto of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The terms of this Guaranty may be waived, altered or amended only by an instrument in writing duly executed by Guarantor and Beneficiary.

(f)No Third Party Beneficiary. Neither this Guaranty nor any remedy arising hereunder is intended for the benefit of, or is enforceable by, any person other than Beneficiary, Guarantor, any Buyer Indemnified Party and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(g)No Set-off. Subject to the terms of Sections 3.5.2(e), 6.12, 8.9, and 8.10 of the APA, by acceptance of this Guaranty, Beneficiary shall be deemed to have waived any right to set off against, combine, consolidate, or otherwise appropriate and apply (i) any assets of Guarantor at any time held by Beneficiary or (ii) any indebtedness or other liabilities at any time owing by Beneficiary to Guarantor, as the case may be, on account of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(h)Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. A signed copy of this Guaranty delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission is to be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Guaranty.

(i)Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (1) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and (2) the invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(j)Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF GUARANTOR AND BENEFICIARY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(k)Expenses and Fees. Guarantor agrees to be responsible for and to pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and foreclosure fees, incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the collection of all sums guaranteed hereunder and the defense or enforcement of Beneficiary’s rights hereunder, whether or not suit is filed, and whether such collection be from Seller or from Guarantor, provided that no such costs and expenses shall be payable by Guarantor unless Beneficiary prevails in such collection, defense or enforcement. In the event that litigation is commenced, then the prevailing party in such litigation, whether Beneficiary or Guarantor, shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, as determined by the court.

(l)Entire Agreement. The terms and conditions set forth herein, together with the documents referenced herein, constitute the complete statement of the agreement between Guarantor and Beneficiary relating to the subject matter hereof. No prior parol evidence may be introduced or considered at any judicial or arbitration proceeding for any purpose to interpret or clarify any term or provision of this Guaranty.
