The amendments to the Credit Agreement are limited to the extent specifically set forth in this Section 1 and no other terms, covenants or provisions of the Loan Documents are intended to be affected hereby.
Section 2. Certain Farm Credit Matters.
(a) Waiver of Borrower’s Rights Under Farm Credit Law. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the provisions of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987, including, without limitation, 12 U.S.C. §§ 2199 through 2202e, and the implementing Farm Credit Administration regulations, 12 C.F.R. § 617.7000, et seq. (collectively, the “Farm Credit Law”) apply to a Borrower or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, relinquishes and agrees not to assert at any time any and all rights that such Borrower may be afforded under the Farm Credit Law (“Borrower Rights”), including but not limited to all statutory or regulatory rights of a borrower to disclosure of effective interest rates, differential interest rates, review of credit decisions, distressed loan restructuring, and rights of first refusal. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the waiver of Borrower Rights provided by this Section 2(a) is knowingly and voluntarily made after each Borrower has consulted with legal counsel of its choice and has been represented by counsel of its choice in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the waiver of Borrower Rights set forth in this Section 2(a). Each Borrower acknowledges that its waiver of Borrower Rights set forth in this Section 2(a) is based on its recognition that such waiver is material to induce the Agents and the Lenders to participate in the extensions of credit contemplated by this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to provide extensions of credit to the Borrowers. Nothing contained in this Section 2(a), nor the delivery to any Borrower of any summary of any rights under, or any notice pursuant to, the Farm Credit Law shall be deemed to be, or be construed to indicate the determination or agreement by any Borrower, any Agent or any Lender that the Farm Credit Law, or any rights thereunder, are or will be applicable to any Borrower or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. It is the intent of each Borrower that the waiver of Borrower Rights contained in this Section 2(a) complies with and meets all requirements of 12 C.F.R. § 617.7010(c).
(b) | Farm Credit Equity and Eligibility. |
(i) So long as a Farm Credit System Institution (as defined below) is a Lender under the Credit Agreement, each Borrower will acquire equity in such Farm Credit System Institution in such amounts and at such times as such Farm Credit System Institution may require in accordance with such Farm Credit System Institution’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (or their equivalent) (as each may be amended from time to time), except that the maximum amount of equity that such Borrower shall be required pursuant to this sentence to purchase in such Farm Credit System Institution in connection with the Loans made by such Farm Credit System Institution shall not exceed the maximum amount required by the Bylaws and the Capital Plan (or the equivalent) on the Effective Date (or such other date that such Farm Credit System Institution initially becomes a Lender, as applicable), and at all times maintain its eligibility to be a borrower of loans from a Farm Credit System Institution. Each Borrower acknowledges receipt of documents from each Farm Credit System Institution that describe the nature of such Borrower’s cash patronage, stock and other equities in such Farm Credit System Institution acquired in connection with its patronage loan from such Farm Credit System Institution (the “Farm Credit Equities”) as well as capitalization requirements, and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. As used herein, “Farm Credit System Institution” means any farm credit bank, any federal land bank association, agricultural credit association, federal land credit association, any production credit association, the banks for cooperatives, and such other institutions as may be subject to regulation by the Farm Credit Administration, including, without limitation, any federally-chartered Farm Credit System lending institution organized under the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time.
3
(ii) Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that each Farm Credit System Institution’s Bylaws and capital plans (or their equivalent) (as each may be amended from time to time) shall govern (A) the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the Farm Credit Equities and any patronage refunds or other distributions made on account thereof or on account of any Borrower’s patronage with such Farm Credit System Institution, (B) any Borrower’s eligibility for patronage distributions from such Farm Credit System Institution (in the form of Farm Credit Equities and cash) and (C) patronage distributions, if any, in the event of a sale of a participation interest. Each Farm Credit System Institution reserves the right to assign or sell participations in all or any part of its Commitments or outstanding Loans hereunder on a non-patronage basis.
(iii) Each party hereto further acknowledges and agrees that each Farm Credit System Institution has a statutory first lien pursuant to the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, on all Farm Credit Equities that any Borrower may now own or hereafter acquire, which statutory lien shall be for such Farm Credit System Institution’s sole and exclusive benefit. The Farm Credit Equities shall not constitute security for the Obligations due to any other party hereto. Neither the Farm Credit Equities nor any accrued patronage shall be offset against the Obligations except that, in the event of an Event of Default, a Farm Credit System Institution may elect, solely at its discretion, to apply the cash portion of any patronage distribution or retirement of equity to amounts owed to such Farm Credit System Institution under this Agreement, whether or not such amounts are currently due and payable. Each Borrower acknowledges that any corresponding tax liability associated with such application is the sole responsibility of such Borrower. No Farm Credit System Institution shall have any obligation to retire any Farm Credit Equities upon any Event of Default, Default or any other default by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or at any other time, either for application to the Obligations or otherwise.
Section 3. Incremental Term Lender Joinder. By its execution of this Agreement, each 2024 Incremental Term Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and confirms that, on and after the Effective Date:
(a) it will be deemed to be a party to the Credit Agreement as a “Lender” and an “Incremental Term Lender” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall have all of the obligations of, and shall be entitled to the benefits of, a Lender and an Incremental Term Lender under the Credit Agreement, all with the same force and effect as if it had executed the Credit Agreement;

(h) Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
10
