Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will have the right (the “Designation Right”), exercisable within 10 business days following the date hereof, to appoint additional arrangers, bookrunners, co-agents or co-managers in respect of the Term Loan Facility and the Bridge Facility (each such arranger, bookrunner, co-agent or co-manager, an “Additional Agent”) in a manner and with economics determined by you in consultation with the applicable Additional Agent and reasonably acceptable to you and such Additional Agents; provided that (a) you may not appoint more than (i) one additional bookrunner in respect of the Term Loan Facility and (ii) two additional bookrunners in respect of the Bridge Facility, (b) in the case of each of the Term Loan Facility and the Bridge Facility, you may not allocate more than 32% of the total economics with respect to such Facility to all Additional Agents (or their affiliates) in the aggregate, (c) each such Additional Agent (or its affiliate) will have the same commitment percentage (and no more than the corresponding percentage of the total economics) with respect to each of the Term Loan Facility and the Bridge Facility and (d) subject to the foregoing, to the extent you appoint Additional Agents, the aggregate economics allocated to, and the aggregate commitment amounts of, Barclays, CS and the applicable Wells Fargo entity, collectively, will be reduced by the amount of the economics allocated to, and the commitment amount of, each such Additional Agent (or its affiliate) (it being understood that (w) the economics allocated to each of Barclays, CS and the applicable Wells Fargo entity will be no less than 32%, 18% and 18%, respectively, of the total economics in respect of each of the Term Loan Facility and the Bridge Facility, (x) in no event shall the percentage of the total economics allocated to CS or the applicable Wells Fargo entity in respect of each of the Term Loan Facility and the Bridge Facility exceed the percentage of such economics allocated to Barclays, (y) CS and the applicable Wells Fargo entity shall have the same percentage of the total economics in respect of each of the Term Loan Facility and the Bridge Facility and (z) in no event shall the percentage of the total economics allocated to any Additional Agent in respect of each of the Term Loan Facility and the Bridge Facility exceed the percentage of such economics allocated to CS or the applicable Wells Fargo entity. Upon your exercise, if any, of the Designation Right and the execution and delivery by the Additional Agent(s) of customary joinder documentation reasonably acceptable to you and us, each such Additional Agent shall constitute a “Commitment Party” for all purposes under this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter.

Our fees for our commitment and for services related to the Facilities are set forth in the fee letter entered into by the Company and the Commitment Parties on the date hereof (the “Fee Letter”).

Each Commitment Party’s commitment and agreements hereunder are subject solely to the conditions set forth in Annex D hereto and the following additional conditions: (i) except as disclosed in the disclosure schedules delivered by the Acquired Business to you in connection with the Acquisition Agreement (as such schedules are in effect on the date hereof), or as set forth in any Company SEC Documents (as defined below) (excluding any disclosures contained therein under the captions “Risk Factors” or “Forward Looking Statements” and any other disclosures contained therein relating to information, factors or risks that are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature, and (x) only to the extent that the relevance of any disclosed event, item or occurrence in such Company SEC Document to the matters covered by the condition set forth in this clause (i) is reasonably apparent as to such matters and (y) without giving effect to any amendment to any documents filed with the SEC on or after the date hereof), since December 28, 2013, there has not been any Event (as defined below) that, individually or in the aggregate with all other Events, has had or would reasonably be expected to have an Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) and (ii) the execution and delivery by all parties of the Term Loan Facility Documentation and the Bridge Facility Documentation (collectively, the “Facilities Documentation”), in each case to be negotiated and prepared in a manner consistent with this Commitment Letter, including the Term Loan Facility Documentation Principles and the Bridge Documentation Principles.

Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Facilities Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Acquisition to the contrary, the Facilities Documentation shall not contain any conditions precedent to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date other than the conditions precedent expressly set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 2 and in Annex D hereto, and the terms of the Facilities Documentation will be such that they do not impair the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date if such conditions are satisfied (it being understood that, to the extent that any security interest in the Collateral (other than any Collateral the security interest in which may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement or the delivery of certificated equity interests constituting Collateral) is not perfected on the Closing Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so (without undue burden or cost), the perfection of such security interest will not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date but such security interest will be required to be perfected within 90 days after the Closing Date (or such longer period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent), subject to arrangements mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Company and subject to extensions thereof in the discretion of the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Facilities Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Acquisition to the contrary, the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which will be a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date will be (i) the representations and warranties made by or with respect to the Acquired Business in the Acquisition Agreement that are material to the interests of the Agents or Lenders, in their capacities as such, but only to the extent that you (or your affiliates) have the right to terminate your (or their) obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or to decline to consummate the Acquisition (in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement) as a result of a breach of such representation or warranty (the “Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below). As used herein, the term “Specified Representations” means representations relating to incorporation or formation; organizational power and authority to enter into the Facilities Documentation; due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of the Facilities Documentation; solvency of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on the Closing Date after giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein (with solvency to be defined in a manner consistent with Annex I to Exhibit D); no conflicts of the Facilities Documentation with charter documents of the Loan Parties

With respect to any guarantees the delivery of which is a condition to the availability of the Facilities, if such guaranty cannot be provided as a condition precedent because the directors or managers of such entity have not authorized such guaranty and the election of new directors or managers to authorize such guaranty has not taken place prior to the funding of the Facilities (such guarantees, “Duly Authorized Guarantees”), such election shall take place and such Duly Authorized Guarantees shall be provided no later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date and (y) the Facilities Documentation shall provide that, if the Duly Authorized Guarantees are not provided by 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date, an event of default will arise and all loans outstanding under the Facilities will accrue interest at the default rate until such Duly Authorized Guarantees are provided). This paragraph, and the provisions herein, shall be referred to as the “Limited Conditionality Provisions.”

As used in this Section 2, the term “Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect” means any Event that, individually or in the aggregate together with all other Events, (a) has or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the assets, liabilities, business, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Acquired Business and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) (taken as a whole), other than any Event or Events to the extent resulting from one or more of the following: (i) the effect of any change in the United States or foreign economies or capital, credit or financial markets in general; (ii) the effect of any change that generally affects any industry in which the Acquired Business or any of its Subsidiaries operates; (iii) the effect of any change arising in connection with hostilities, acts of war, sabotage or terrorism or military actions or any escalation or material worsening of any such hostilities, acts of war, sabotage or terrorism or military actions existing or underway as of the date hereof; (iv) the effect of any action taken by the Company or any of its Affiliates (as defined below) with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement or with respect to the Acquired Business or any of its Subsidiaries; (v) the effect of any earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes or other natural disasters; (vi) the effect of any changes in (A) applicable foreign, federal, state or local law, statute, code, ordinance, rule or regulation of any government or governmental or regulatory body thereof, or political subdivision thereof, whether federal, state, local, foreign, or any agency, instrumentality or authority thereof, or any court or arbitrator (public or private) or (B) GAAP; (vii) any effect resulting from the public announcement of the Acquisition Agreement; or (viii) any effect resulting from compliance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement; provided, however, that any Event or Events set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (v) or (vi) may be taken into account in determining whether there has been or is an Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect, to the extent such Event or Events have, or are reasonably expected to have, a disproportionate adverse effect on the assets, liabilities, business, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Acquired Business and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) relative to other Persons similarly situated; or (b) would, or would reasonably be expected to, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement.

You agree that prior to taking any action described in clause (iv) of the definition of “Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect,” other than (x) any action contemplated to be taken by the Acquisition Agreement, this Commitment Letter, the engagement letter described in paragraph 8 of Annex D or (y) any other action reasonably necessary or advisable to consummate the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated hereby, you will obtain the Arrangers’ prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

The Arrangers intend, and reserve the right, to syndicate the Facilities to the Lenders (as defined in Annex B and Annex C) promptly following the date hereof, and you acknowledge and agree that the commencement of syndication will occur in the discretion of the Arrangers. The Arrangers will select the Lenders under the Term Loan Facility and the Bridge Facility after consultation with you; provided that the Arrangers will not syndicate to those banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders separately identified in writing by you to us prior to the date hereof or any competitors of the Company or the Acquired Business that are operating companies and are separately identified in writing by you to us prior to or after the date hereof, but prior to the commencement of our syndication efforts (“Disqualified Lenders”). The Arrangers will lead the syndication, including determining the timing of all offers to potential Lenders, any title of agent or similar designations or roles awarded to any Lender, the acceptance of commitments, the amounts offered and the compensation provided to each Lender from the amounts to be paid to the Arrangers pursuant to the terms of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter. The Arrangers will, in consultation with you, determine the final commitment allocations and will notify the Company of such determinations. You agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Arrangers’ syndication efforts benefit from the existing lending

relationships of the Company and its subsidiaries. To facilitate an orderly and successful syndication of the Facilities, you agree that, until the earliest of (x) the termination of the syndication as determined by the Arrangers and (y) 60 days after the Closing Date, the Company will not, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain contractual undertakings from the Acquired Business that it will not, syndicate or issue, attempt to syndicate or issue, or announce or authorize the announcement of the syndication or issuance of or engage in any material discussions concerning the syndication or issuance of, any debt facility or any debt, equity or equity-linked security (including, without limitation, any debt or preferred equity security convertible into common stock) of the Company or Acquired Business or any of their respective subsidiaries, including any refinancings, replacements or renewals of any debt facility or any debt, equity or equity-linked security of the Company or Acquired Business or any of their respective subsidiaries if such activity would, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Arrangers, have a detrimental effect on the syndication of the Facilities, other than (a) the Facilities, (b) the issuance of the Takeout Notes or other Takeout Debt (if any), (c) the issuance of up to $340 million of Takeout Equity by the Company, (d) equity issued pursuant to management, director and employee incentive or compensation plans of the Company, (e) the issuance by the Company of common stock upon conversion of its 3.75% Series B Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock or 2.5% Series C Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof, (f) indebtedness of the Acquired Business permitted to be issued or incurred pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(xii) of the Acquisition Agreement and (g) the issuance of up to $350 million of registered exchange notes pursuant to the registered exchange offer contemplated by the Company’s registration rights agreement, dated July 18, 2013. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, it is understood that the Company’s ordinary course capital leases and ordinary course purchase money and equipment financings will not be deemed to materially and adversely impair the primary syndication of the Facilities. In addition, between the date hereof and the Closing Date, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries will enter into any binding agreement to acquire a business (other than the Acquired Business) on or after the date hereof (and on or prior to the Closing Date) that is significant for purposes of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X without the prior written consent of the Arrangers.

You agree to cooperate with the Arrangers in all syndication efforts, including in connection with (i) the preparation of one or more information packages for each of the Facilities regarding the business, operations and financial projections of the Company and the Acquired Business (collectively, the “Confidential Information Memorandum”) including, without limitation, all customary information relating to the transactions contemplated hereunder prepared by or on behalf of the Company deemed reasonably necessary by the Arrangers to complete the syndication of the Facilities (it being understood that (a) the Confidential Information Memorandum will include customary summary historical and pro forma financial information, which, with respect to any acquisition that has been completed or is pending prior to the date hereof, will be comparable to the information included in the Company’s offering circular dated March 12, 2014 (the “March Offering Circular”), (b) the Confidential Information Memorandum will not be required to include pro forma financial statements of the Company or the audited and unaudited historical financial statements of any acquisition that has been completed or announced prior to the date hereof (other than Dakota Growers Pasta Company, Inc. (“Dakota”), subject to the following clause (c)), (c) nothing herein will be deemed to require pro forma financial statements reflecting the acquisition of Dakota for any interim period of the Company ending after December 31, 2013, unless the Company has actually prepared such pro forma financial statements, (d) subject to the foregoing clause (c), the Confidential Information Memorandum will only be required to include the Adjusted EBITDA of Dakota on a stand-alone basis, without any allocation or adjustment in respect of its ownership by Agricore United Holdings Inc. and (e) for avoidance of doubt, the Confidential Information Memorandum will exclude any financial information relating to the Power Bar/Musashi acquisition (other than the purchase price, net sales and either projected or historical Adjusted EBITDA (defined in a manner consistent with the definition of such term in the March Offering Circular))) and (ii) the preparation of one or more customary information packages for each of the Facilities reasonably acceptable in format and content to the Arrangers (collectively, the “Lender Presentation”) and the presentation of such Lender Presentation to, and participation in meetings and other communications with, prospective Lenders or agents in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (including, without limitation, direct contact between senior management and representatives, with appropriate seniority and expertise, of the Company with prospective Lenders and participation of such persons in meetings upon reasonable advance notice and at mutually agreed times). In addition, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the launch of syndication, (a) a public corporate

family rating from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) for the Company after giving effect to the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereunder and any other material recent or pending transaction or financing, (b) a public corporate credit rating from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw Hill Corporation (“S&P”), for the Company after giving effect to the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereunder and any other material recent or pending transaction or financing and (c) a public credit rating for each of the Facilities and any Takeout Notes issued in lieu thereof from each of Moody’s and S&P. You will be solely responsible for the contents of any such Confidential Information Memorandum, Lender Presentation and related materials (other than, in each case, any information contained therein that has been provided for inclusion therein by the Commitment Parties solely to the extent such information relates to the Commitment Parties) and all other information, documentation or materials delivered to the Arrangers in connection therewith (collectively, the “Information”) and you acknowledge that the Commitment Parties will be using and relying upon the Information without independent verification thereof. You agree that Information regarding the Facilities and Information provided by the Company and Acquired Business or their respective representatives to the Arrangers in connection with the Facilities (including, without limitation, draft and execution versions of the Facilities Documentation, the Confidential Information Memorandum, the Lender Presentation, publicly filed financial statements, and draft or final offering materials relating to contemporaneous securities issuances by the Company) may be disseminated to potential Lenders and other persons through one or more internet sites (including an IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other electronic workspace (the “Platform”)) created for purposes of syndicating the Facilities or otherwise, in accordance with the Arrangers’ standard syndication practices, and you acknowledge that each Arranger and its affiliates will not be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for damages arising from the use by others of any Information or other materials obtained on the Platform, except, in the case of damages to you but not to any other person, to the extent such damages are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Arranger or (A) any of its controlled affiliates, (B) any of the respective directors or employees of such Arranger or its controlled affiliates or (C) the respective advisors or agents of such Arranger or its controlled affiliates, in the case of this clause (C), acting at the instructions of such Arranger or its controlled affiliates. Notwithstanding the Arrangers’ right to syndicate the Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto, or anything otherwise contained in this Commitment Letter it is agreed that (x) the syndication of, or receipt of commitments or participations in respect of, all or any portion of the Commitment Parties' commitments hereunder prior to the Closing Date, (y) the obtaining of the ratings referenced above and (z) the compliance with any of the other provisions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph above, shall not be a condition to the Commitment Parties' commitments hereunder and, unless you otherwise agree in writing, each Commitment Party shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the Facilities, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred. Without limiting your obligations to assist as set forth herein, it is understood that the commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments or participations in respect of, the Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication or the obtaining of ratings constitute a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date.

You acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Company, the Acquired Business, or their respective affiliates or any of its or their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). At the request of the Arrangers, you agree to prepare an additional version of the Confidential Information Memorandum and the Lender Presentation to be used by Public Lenders that does not contain material non-public information concerning the Company, the Acquired Business, or their respective affiliates or securities. It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, at the request of the Arrangers, you will provide, and cause all other applicable persons to provide (including using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business to provide) authorization letters to the Arrangers authorizing the distribution of the Information to prospective Lenders, and containing a representation to the Arrangers that the public-side version does not include material non-public information about the Company, the Acquired Business or their respective affiliates or its or their respective securities. In addition, you will clearly designate as such all Information provided to the Arrangers by or on behalf of the Company or the Acquired Business which is suitable to make available to Public Lenders. You acknowledge and agree that the following documents may be distributed to Public Lenders, unless you advise the Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions that such documents should only be distributed to prospective Lenders that are not Public Lenders: (a) drafts and final versions of the Facilities Documentation; (b) administrative materials prepared by the Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, allocations and funding and closing memoranda); and (c) term sheets and notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities.

You represent and covenant that (i) to the best of your knowledge in the case of Information relating to the Acquired Business, all written Information (other than financial projections and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) provided directly or indirectly by the Company to the Arrangers or the Lenders in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder is and will be, when furnished and when taken as a whole and giving effect to all supplements thereto, complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading and (ii) the financial projections and other forward-looking information that have been or will be made available to the Arrangers or the Lenders in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder by or on behalf of the Company have been and will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by the preparer thereof to be reasonable at the time such financial projections and other forward-looking information are furnished to the Arrangers or the Lenders, it being understood and agreed that financial projections are not a guarantee of financial performance and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, no assurance can be given that any party's projections may be realized, and actual results may differ from financial projections and such differences may be material. You agree that if at any time prior to the later of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) of the Facilities, any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and financial projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented, the Information and financial projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances.

In connection with arrangements such as this, it is the Commitment Parties’ policy to receive indemnification. You agree to the provisions with respect to our indemnity and other matters set forth in Annex A, which is incorporated by reference into this Commitment Letter.

This Commitment Letter may not be assigned by you without the prior written consent of the Commitment Parties (and any purported assignment without such consent will be null and void), is intended to be solely for the benefit of the Commitment Parties and the other parties hereto and, except as set forth in Annex A hereto, is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto. Each of the Commitment Parties, after consultation with you, may assign its commitments and agreements hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of its affiliates (provided that such affiliates agree to abide by the confidentiality provisions of Section 7 of this Commitment Letter) and, as provided above, to any Lender prior to the Closing Date; provided that, except for any assignment to an Additional Agent pursuant to Section 1 of this Commitment Letter, any assignment by a Commitment Party to any potential Lender made prior to the Closing Date shall not relieve such Commitment Party of its obligations set forth herein to fund on the Closing Date that portion of the commitments so assigned. Neither this Commitment Letter nor the Fee Letter may be amended or any term or provision hereof or thereof waived or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto or thereto, as applicable, and any term or provision hereof or thereof may be amended or waived only by a written agreement executed and delivered by all parties hereto or thereto, as applicable.

Please note that this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and any written communications provided by, or oral discussions with, the Commitment Parties in connection with this arrangement may not be disclosed to any third party or circulated or referred to publicly without the prior written consent of the Commitment Parties party thereto except, after providing written notice to the applicable Commitment Parties, pursuant to a subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial, administrative or legislative body or committee; provided that we hereby consent to your disclosure of (i) this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and such communications and discussions to the Company’s and (on a redacted basis reasonably satisfactory to the Arrangers with respect to the Fee Letter and the Administrative Agent and the Bridge Administrative Agent with respect to the Fee Letter) the Acquired Business’s directors, employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who are directly involved in the consideration of the Facilities and who have been informed by you of the confidential nature of such advice and this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and who have agreed to treat such information confidentially, (ii) this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and such communications and discussions as required by applicable law, rule or regulation (including any public filings of this Commitment Letter) or compulsory legal process (in which case you agree to inform us promptly thereof to the extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) the information contained in Annex B and Annex C to Moody’s and S&P; provided, further, that any such information described in foregoing clause (i) or (iii) is supplied only on a confidential basis after consultation with the Commitment Parties. The terms of this paragraph as they relate to this Commitment Letter (but not the Fee Letter) shall terminate one year from the date of this Commitment Letter.

Each Commitment Party agrees that it will treat as confidential all information provided to it hereunder by or on behalf of you or any of your respective subsidiaries or affiliates; provided that nothing herein will prevent any Commitment Party from disclosing any such information (a) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process (in which case such person agrees (except with respect to any routine or ordinary course audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority) to inform you promptly thereof to the extent not prohibited by law), (b) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such person or any of its affiliates, (c) to the extent that such information is publicly available or becomes publicly available other than by reason of improper disclosure by such person, (d) to the extent that such information was already in such Commitment Party’s possession and is not, to such Commitment Party’s knowledge, subject to any existing confidentiality obligations that would prohibit such disclosure or was independently developed by such Commitment Party, (e) to such person’s affiliates and such person’s and its affiliates’ respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other experts or agents who need to know such information and on a confidential basis, (f) to potential and prospective Lenders, participants and any direct or indirect contractual counterparties to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company and its obligations under the Facilities, in each case, who agree to be bound by similar confidentiality provisions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by means of a click-through or otherwise), (g) to Moody’s and S&P; provided that such information is limited to Annexes B and C and is supplied only on a confidential basis after consultation with you or (h) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense. Each Commitment Party’s obligation under this paragraph shall remain in effect until the earlier of (i) one year from the date hereof and (ii) the date any definitive Facilities Documentation is entered into by the Commitment Parties, at which time any confidentiality undertaking in the definitive Facilities Documentation shall supersede this provision. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each Commitment Party may disclose the existence of the Facilities and information about the Facilities to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Commitment Parties in connection with the administration and management of the Facilities and the other loan documents.

As you know, each Commitment Party, together with its respective affiliates (each, collectively, a “Commitment Party Group”), is a full service financial services firm engaged, either directly or through affiliates, in various activities, including securities trading, investment banking and financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities and financial planning and benefits counseling for both companies and individuals. In the ordinary course of these activities, each Commitment Party Group may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and/or financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and/or instruments. In addition, each Commitment Party Group may at any time communicate independent recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such debt and equity securities or other financial instruments. Such investment and other activities may involve securities and instruments of you or the Acquired Business or its Affiliates, as well as of other entities and persons and their affiliates which may (i) be involved in transactions arising from or relating to the engagement contemplated by this Commitment Letter, (ii) be customers or competitors of you or the Acquired Business or its Affiliates, or (iii) have other relationships with you or the Acquired Business or its Affiliates. In addition, each Commitment Party Group may provide investment banking, underwriting and financial advisory services to such other entities and persons. Each Commitment Party Group may also co-invest with, make direct investments in, and invest or co-invest client monies in or with funds or other investment vehicles managed by other parties, and such funds or other investment vehicles may trade or make investments in your securities or those of such other entities. The transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter may have a direct or indirect impact on the investments, securities or instruments referred to in this paragraph. Although each Commitment Party Group in the course of such other activities and relationships may acquire information about the transaction contemplated by this Commitment Letter or other entities and persons which may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, no

Commitment Party Group shall have any obligation to disclose such information, or the fact that such Commitment Party Group is in possession of such information, to you or to use such information on the Company’s behalf.

Consistent with their respective policies to hold in confidence the affairs of its customers, no Commitment Party Group will furnish confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter to any other companies, or use such information in connection with the performance by such Commitment Party Group of services for any other companies. Furthermore, you acknowledge that no Commitment Party Group and none of their respective affiliates has an obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained or that may be obtained by them from any other person.

Each Commitment Party Group may have economic interests that conflict with yours, or those of your equity holders and/or affiliates. You agree that each Commitment Party Group will act under this Commitment Letter as an independent contractor and that nothing in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Commitment Party Group and you or your equity holders or affiliates. You acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Commitment Party Groups, on the one hand, and you on the other, and in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Commitment Party Group has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of you or your equity holders or affiliates with respect to the financing transactions contemplated hereby, or in each case, the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Commitment Party has advised, is currently advising or will advise you, your equity holders or your affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to you except the obligations expressly set forth in this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and (ii) each Commitment Party Group is acting solely as a principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of you, your management, equity holders, affiliates, creditors or any other person. You acknowledge and agree that you have consulted your own legal and financial advisors to the extent you deemed appropriate and that you are responsible for making your own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. You agree that you will not claim that any Commitment Party Group has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes you a fiduciary or similar duty, in connection with such transactions or the process leading thereto.

As you know, you have retained Barclays Capital Inc. as financial advisor (in such capacity, the “Financial Advisors”) in connection with the Acquisition. You agree to (and each of the other Commitment Parties, including any Additional Agents, acknowledges) such retention and each party hereto further agrees not to assert any claim it might allege based on any actual or potential conflicts of interest that might be asserted to arise or result from, on the one hand, the engagement of the Financial Advisor and, on the other hand, our and our affiliates’ relationships with you as described and referred to herein.

In addition, each Commitment Party may employ the services of its affiliates in providing services and/or performing their obligations hereunder and may exchange with such affiliates information concerning you and other companies that may be the subject of this arrangement, and such affiliates will be entitled to the benefits afforded to the Commitment Parties hereunder.

In addition, please note that the Commitment Parties do not provide accounting, tax or legal advice. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you and we (and each of your employees, representatives and other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Facilities and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to you or us relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure will remain subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof (and the foregoing sentence will not apply) to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the parties hereto, their respective affiliates, and their respective affiliates’ directors and employees to comply with applicable securities laws. For this purpose, “tax treatment” means U.S. federal or state income tax treatment, and “tax structure” is limited to any facts relevant to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter but does not include information relating to the identity of the parties hereto or any of their respective affiliates.

Each Commitment Party’s commitments and agreements hereunder will terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the consummation of the Acquisition, (ii) the abandonment of the Acquisition or termination of the Acquisition Agreement and (iii) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on August 1, 2014. Subject to the provisions of the next paragraph and the terms of the Fee Letter, you may terminate this Commitment Letter and/or each Commitment Party’s commitments hereunder. In addition, each Commitment Party’s commitments hereunder to provide and arrange the Bridge Loans will be reduced to the extent and in the order of priority described herein by any issuance of the Takeout Notes, other Takeout Debt and/or Equity (in each case, in escrow or otherwise).

The provisions set forth in the Fee Letter and under Sections 3, 4, 5 (including Annex A), 6 and 8, the first paragraph of Section 7 and this Section 9 will remain in full force and effect regardless of whether the definitive Facilities Documentation is executed and delivered. The provisions set forth under Sections 5 (including Annex A), 6 and 8, the first paragraph of Section 7 and this Section 9 and the fee and expense reimbursement provisions of the Fee Letter will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Commitment Letter or the Commitment Parties’ commitments and agreements hereunder; provided that such provisions relating to indemnification and reimbursement shall terminate and be superseded by the terms of the Facilities Documentation to the extent covered thereby and to the extent such Facilities Documentation becomes effective.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 7 to the contrary, the Arrangers may place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or World Wide Web as they may choose, and circulate similar promotional materials, after the closing of the Acquisition in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise describing the names of you and your affiliates, and the amount, type and closing date of the Acquisition, all at expense of the Arrangers.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that (i) this Commitment Letter is a binding and enforceable agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, including an agreement of each party to negotiate in good faith the Facilities Documentation by the parties hereto in a manner consistent with this Commitment Letter, it being acknowledged and agreed that the commitments provided hereunder are subject only to conditions precedent as expressly provided in the first paragraph of Section 2 above and in Annex D hereto, and (ii) the Fee Letter is a legally valid and binding agreement of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter set forth therein.

The Commitment Parties hereby notify you that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107‑56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) the Commitment Parties and each Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company and each of the other Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Company and each of the other Guarantors and other information that will allow the Commitment Parties and each Lender to identify the Company and each of the other Guarantors in accordance with the Patriot Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Patriot Act and is effective for the Commitment Parties and each Lender. You hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arrangers shall be permitted to share any or all such information with the Lenders.

This Commitment Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed will be an original, and all of which, when taken together, will constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Commitment Letter by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in pdf or tif format) will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, and any other agreement entered into by the parties hereto on the date hereof are the only agreements that have been entered into among the parties hereto with respect to the Facilities and set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect thereto and supersede any prior written or oral agreements among the parties hereto with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Commitment Letter.

This Commitment Letter supersedes and replaces in its entirety as of the date hereof the Commitment Letter from us dated April 7, 2014 (the “Original Letter”), and by signing this letter, you acknowledge that the Original Letter is of no further force or effect.

Please confirm that the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding by signing and returning to the Commitment Parties the enclosed copy of this Commitment Letter, together, if not previously executed and delivered, with the Fee Letter, on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 17, 2014, whereupon this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter will become binding agreements between you and the Commitment Parties party thereto. If the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter have not been signed and returned as described in the preceding sentence by such date, this offer will terminate on such date. We look forward to working with you on this transaction.

The Company will not be required to indemnify any Commitment Parties for any amount paid or payable by such Commitment Party in the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the Company’s consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the foregoing indemnity will apply to any such settlement in the event that the Company was offered the ability to assume the defense of the action that was the subject matter of such settlement and elected not to so assume. The provisions of this Annex A will survive any termination of the commitments or completion of the arrangement provided by the Letters.

The proceeds of each Incremental Facility may be used to provide for the ongoing working capital requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes and permitted acquisitions.

(a)    the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum; or

(b)    the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 3.00% per annum.

1. Asset Sale Proceeds: Prepayments in an amount equal to 100.0% of the net cash proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including the sale by the Company of any equity interests in any of its subsidiaries and the issuance by any such subsidiary of any equity interests but excluding certain asset sales to be agreed) to the extent the aggregate amount of such proceeds exceeds an amount to be agreed in any fiscal year payable no later than the business day following the date of receipt, other than net cash proceeds of sales or other dispositions of inventory in the ordinary course of business and net cash proceeds that are reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) in other long-term assets useful in the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries within 360 days of such sale or disposition or, if so committed to be reinvested within such period, reinvested within 180 days thereafter.

2. Insurance Proceeds: Prepayments in an amount equal to 100.0% of the net cash proceeds of insurance or condemnation proceeds paid on account of any loss of any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the extent such proceeds exceed an amount to be agreed in any fiscal year payable no later than the business day following the date of receipt, other than net cash proceeds that are reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) in other long-term assets useful in the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or used to replace damaged or destroyed assets) within 360 days of receipt of such net cash proceeds or, if so committed to be reinvested within such period, reinvested within 180 days thereafter.

3. Indebtedness Proceeds: Prepayments in an amount equal to 100.0% of the net cash proceeds received from the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than indebtedness otherwise permitted under the Term Loan Facility Documentation (unless permitted to be incurred solely if used to prepay loans under the Term Loan Facility)) payable no later than the business day following the date of receipt.

    

4. Excess Cash Flow: Prepayments in an amount equal to 50.0% of “Excess Cash Flow” (to be defined in a mutually acceptable manner and consistent with the Term Loan Facility Documentation Principles) of the Company and its subsidiaries, with stepdowns to 25.0% and 0% of Excess Cash Flow at corresponding Consolidated Leverage Ratios to be mutually agreed (in each case, with the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for such purpose calculated after giving effect to the netting of up to $100 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) as of the four-fiscal-quarter period ended as of the date of the applicable financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Excess Cash Flow prepayment shall be required with respect to the fiscal years of the Company ending September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2015.

All of the foregoing mandatory prepayments will be applied without penalty or premium (except for breakage costs, if any), first, pro rata to the Term Loan Facility, including any Incremental Term Loan Facility (to be applied first to the next four scheduled amortization payments in direct order of maturity and thereafter pro rata to the remaining scheduled amortization payments and the payment at final maturity); provided that each holder of loans under the Term Loan Facility may decline all or any portion of the prepayment allocable to it and declined amounts will be applied as mutually agreed upon and, if the Proposed Amendment becomes effective on or prior to the Closing Date, second, to outstanding loans and letters of credit under the Existing Revolving Credit Facility (as amended by the Proposed Amendment).

    

If the Proposed Amendment becomes effective on or prior to the Closing Date, the Term Loan Facility will be documented as an Incremental Term Loan Commitment under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Facility, as amended by the Proposed Amendment.

 

The representations and warranties in the Term Loan Facility Documentation will be required to be made on the Closing Date and reaffirmed in connection with each extension of credit (but, except as provided in the Limited Conditionality Provisions, the accuracy thereof will not be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of, or initial funding under, the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date).

    

In addition, the Term Loan Facility Documentation will allow for the Company to repurchase loans under the Term Loan Facility; provided that (i) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) such repurchase will be consummated by means of a Dutch auction which offers all lenders under the Term Loan Facility the right to participate in such repurchase, certain parameters of which will be established in the Term Loan Facility Documentation and consistent with the Term Loan Facility Documentation Principles, which procedures may include a requirement that the Company represent and warrant that it does not have any material non-public information with respect to any Loan Party (or its subsidiaries) that could be material to such Lender’s decision to participate in such process, (iii) the amount of such repurchase (based on the face value of the loans under the Term Loan Facility purchased thereby) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the remaining scheduled amortization payments and the payment at final maturity in respect of the Term Loan Facility, (iv) any revolving credit facility may not be utilized to consummate such repurchase, (v) any cancellation of indebtedness income arising from such repurchase will not increase the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA and (vi) all such repurchased loans under the Term Loan Facility will be automatically cancelled upon such repurchase.

.

The aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans available to be borrowed on the Closing Date will be automatically reduced by the gross proceeds received by the Company from any sale or placement by the Company of Takeout Notes, other Takeout Debt or Takeout Equity after the date hereof and on or prior to the Closing Date.

The Exchange Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) that will have the terms set forth on Exhibit 1 to this Annex C.

    

From and after the Conversion Date, the Bridge Loans will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to the Total Cap (plus default interest, if any).

Prior to the Conversion Date, interest will be payable at the end of each interest period. Accrued interest will also be payable in arrears on the Conversion Date and on the date of any prepayment of the Bridge Loans. From and after the Conversion Date, interest will be payable quarterly in arrears and on the date of any prepayment of the Bridge Loans.

As used herein, the term “reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate” will have the meaning customary and appropriate for financings of this type, and the basis for calculating accrued interest and the interest periods for loans bearing interest at the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate will be customary and appropriate for financings of this type.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a payment, bankruptcy or insolvency default or event of default or any other event of default, interest on all amounts then outstanding will accrue at a rate of 2.0% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such amounts and will be payable on demand (the “Default Interest Rate”); provided that unless such event is a payment, bankruptcy or insolvency default or event of default, such Default Interest Rate will only apply at the request of the Required Lenders.

From and after the Conversion Date, the mandatory prepayment provisions in the Bridge Facility Documentation will provide that the Company will prepay the outstanding Bridge Loans, on a pro rata basis, subject to certain ordinary course exceptions and reinvestment rights, with 100% of the net proceeds of any future asset sales, at 100% of the principal amount of the Bridge Loans prepaid plus accrued interest to the date of prepayment; provided that each holder of Bridge Loans may elect to accept or waive a prepayment such holder is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to this paragraph.

Nothing in these mandatory prepayment provisions will restrict or prevent any holder of Bridge Loans from exchanging Bridge Loans for Exchange Notes on or after the first anniversary of the Bridge Closing Date.

From and after the Conversion Date and prior to the maturity thereof, Bridge Loans may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time upon three days’ prior written notice at par plus accrued interest to the date of repayment plus the Applicable Premium. The “Applicable Premium” will be (i) a make-whole premium based on the applicable treasury rate plus 50 basis points prior to the third anniversary of the Bridge Closing Date and (ii) 75% of the then-prevailing interest rate on the Bridge Loans from and including the third anniversary of the Bridge Closing Date to but excluding the fourth anniversary of the Bridge Closing Date, and then declining to one-half of the then-prevailing interest rate on the Bridge Loans on the fourth anniversary of the Bridge Closing Date, one-quarter of the then-prevailing interest rate on the Bridge Loans on the fifth anniversary of the Bridge Closing Date and to zero on the sixth anniversary of the Bridge Closing Date.

    

In addition, from and after the Conversion Date and prior to the third anniversary of the Bridge Closing Date, up to 40% of the original principal amount of the Bridge Loans may be redeemed with an amount equal to the proceeds of a qualifying equity offering by the Company at a redemption price equal to par plus the Total Cap and accrued interest.

The representations and warranties in the Bridge Facility Documentation will be required to be made on the Closing Date (but, except as provided in the Limited Conditionality Provisions, the accuracy thereof will not be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of, or funding under, the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date).

Upon such assignment, such Eligible Assignee will become a Lender for all purposes under the Bridge Facility Documentation; provided that assignments made to affiliates and other Lenders will not be subject to any minimum assignment amount requirements. A $3,500 processing fee will be required in connection with any such assignment. The Lenders will also have the right to sell participations, subject to customary limitations on voting rights, in their respective Bridge Loans.

At any time on or after the first anniversary of the Bridge Closing Date, upon not less than five business days’ prior notice, Bridge Loans may, at the option of a Lender, be exchanged for a principal amount of Exchange Notes equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans so exchanged. At a Lender’s option, Exchange Notes will be issued directly to its broker-dealer affiliate or other third party designated by it, upon surrender by the Lender to the Company of an equal principal amount of Bridge Loans. No Exchange Notes will be issued until the Company receives requests to issue at least $150 million in aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes (or, if less than $150 million, the aggregate principal amount of Bridge Loans outstanding on the Conversion Date). The Company will issue Exchange Notes under an indenture (the “Indenture”) with a trustee reasonably acceptable to the Lenders.

Default interest on all amounts outstanding will accrue at the applicable rate plus two percentage points (2.00%) per annum.

In addition, prior to the third anniversary of the Bridge Closing Date, up to 40% of the original principal amount of the Exchange Notes may be redeemed with an amount equal to the proceeds of a qualifying equity offering by the Company at a redemption price equal to par plus the Total Cap and accrued interest.

The only conditions to the effectiveness of, and the initial funding under, the Facilities shall consist of the following (together with the other conditions to funding expressly set forth in the first paragraph of Section 2 of the Commitment Letter):

unaudited historical financial statements of any such other acquisition; provided, further, that the foregoing will be deemed not to require pro forma financial statements reflecting the acquisition of Dakota for any interim period of the Company ending after December 31, 2013, unless the Company has actually prepared such pro forma financial statements.

A preliminary offering memorandum that complies with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence is referred to herein as the “Required Offering Document.”

If the Company in good faith reasonably believes it has delivered the Required Offering Document, it may deliver to the Arrangers a written notice to that effect, in which case the Required Offering Document will be deemed to have been delivered on the date such notice is received by the Arrangers, and the 15 consecutive business day period referred to above will be deemed to have commenced on the date such notice is received by the Arrangers, in each case, unless the Arrangers in good faith reasonably believe that the Company has not completed delivery of the Required Offering Document and, within two business days after the receipt of such notice from the Company, the Arrangers deliver a written notice to the Company to that effect (stating with reasonable specificity which information required to be included in the Required Offering Document has not been delivered).
