RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT

THIS RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of October 3, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), is by and among Sensient Natural Ingredients LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SNI”), and Sensient Colors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Colors”, and together with SNI, the “Originators”), and Sensient Receivables LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I attached hereto (or, if not defined in Exhibit I attached hereto, the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I to the Purchase Agreement).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

The Originators now own, and from time to time hereafter will own, certain Receivables. Upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, from and after the Closing Date, (i) each of the Originators wishes to sell and assign to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to purchase from such Originator all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all of its existing and future Receivables other than Contributed Receivables (the “Purchased Receivables”), together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all proceeds of the foregoing (the “Purchased Receivables Assets”), and (ii) Colors wishes to contribute to the Buyer’s capital all of Colors’ right, title and interest in and to its existing and future Contributed Receivables (hereinafter defined), together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all proceeds of the foregoing, and the Buyer wishes to accept such capital contributions (collectively, the “Contributed Receivables Assets” and, together with the Purchased Receivables Assets, the “Receivables Assets”).

Each Originator and the Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales (and, solely in the case of any contribution by Colors referenced in clause (a)(ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, true contributions) of the Receivables Assets from the Originators to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables Assets, and neither of the Originators and the Buyer intend these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from the Buyer to any Originator secured by the Receivables Assets.

Immediately following its acquisition of the Receivables Assets from the Originators, the Buyer will sell them to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells” or the “Purchaser”) pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of October 3, 2016 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Buyer, Sensient Technologies Corporation, as Servicer, and Wells, as the Purchaser.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Receivables Sale Agreement

Article I

Amounts and Terms

Section 1.1. Purchase and Contribution of Receivables.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, Colors hereby contributes, assigns, transfers and otherwise conveys to the Buyer’s capital, without recourse to Colors (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and the Buyer hereby accepts, (i) Colors’ right, title and interest in and to certain of Colors’ Receivables existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date and having an aggregate Outstanding Balance greater than or equal to the Required Capital Amount, and (ii) Colors’ right, title and interest in and to Colors’ Receivables arising after the Initial Cutoff Date through and including the Termination Date to the extent necessary to cause the Outstanding Balance of all Receivables contributed under clause (i) or this clause (ii) (collectively, the “Contributed Receivables”) to be equal to or exceed the Required Contributed Amount, together with all Related Security and Collections associated therewith (collectively, the “Contributed Receivables Assets”). Effective as of the Closing Date, in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each of the Originators hereby sells, assigns, transfers and otherwise conveys to the Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and the Buyer hereby purchases from each Originator, all of such Originators’ right, title and interest in and to all Receivables (other than Contributed Receivables) existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date and all Receivables (other than Contributed Receivables) thereafter arising through and including the Termination Date (collectively, the “Purchased Receivables”), together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof (collectively, the “Purchased Receivables Assets”, together with the Contributed Receivables Assets, the “Receivables Assets”). In accordance with the preceding two sentences, on the Closing Date, the Buyer shall acquire all of the Originators’ right, title and interest in and to the Receivables Assets. The Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for each Purchased Receivable in accordance with Section 1.2.

(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale and/or contribution, which sale and/or contribution, as the case may be, is absolute and irrevocable and provides the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables Assets. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.3, each transfer of Receivables Assets hereunder is made without recourse to any of the Originators for losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial or credit condition of the related Obligor resulting in the inability to pay in respect of an Obligor; provided, however, that (i) each Originator shall be liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by it pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and (ii) such transfer does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Originators or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables Assets or any other obligations of the Originators. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase and contribution shall constitute a true sale and/or true contribution of Receivables Assets, rather than a loan secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the Closing Date and in accordance with Section 4.1(e)(ii), either (A) include a notation in its master data processing records relating to the Receivables to indicate that the Sold Receivables and the Contributed Receivables are “SOLD RECEIVABLES,” or (B) mark or program its customer master table so that all reports printed therefrom relating to the Receivables will contain “SOLD RECEIVABLES” in the title of such report.

Receivables Sale Agreement

Section 1.2. Payment for the Purchase.

(a) The Purchase Price for each Purchased Receivable shall become owing in full by the Buyer to the applicable Originator or its designee on the date each such Receivable comes into existence and shall be paid not later than the next Payment Date as follows:

(i) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer shall pay to the Servicer, for the account of the applicable Originators, in immediately available funds, to the extent of Available Cash on such Payment Date, in the following order:

first, the Purchase Price for the Receivables sold by each Originator hereunder; and

second, to reduce the principal amount outstanding under each Originator’s Subordinated Note to a balance not less than zero;

(ii) To the extent that any portion of the Purchase Price owing to an Originator remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under such Originator’s Subordinated Note shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(b); and

(iii) To the extent that the Buyer is entitled to any Purchase Price Credit pursuant to Section 1.3 in respect of Purchased Receivables and the amount of such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Purchase Price that would have been owed by such Buyer to the applicable Originator under clause (i) above without taking such Purchase Price Credit into account for purposes of the calculation of such price, the principal amount outstanding under such Originator’s Subordinated Note shall be automatically decreased (to a balance not less than zero).

(b) To the extent that the Buyer does not have sufficient Available Cash to pay in full the Purchase Price for all Receivables purchased on any Payment Date in cash, each Originator agrees to advance a Subordinated Loan in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the unpaid portion of the Purchase Price of all Purchased Receivables sold by such Originator remaining following the payments specified in clause (a)(i) above and (B) the maximum loan (each such loan, a “Subordinated Loan”) that could be borrowed by the Buyer from the applicable Originator without rendering the Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount. Each Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by the Buyer prior to the Termination Date. Each Subordinated Loan shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of a Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from Available Cash. Each Originator is hereby authorized by the Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of the Buyer thereunder. The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each Subordinated Note to reflect the increases, payments and reductions made in respect of such Subordinated Note pursuant to Sections 1.2(b) and 1.3, and the Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each Subordinated Note at any time. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Servicer to mark its Subordinated Note “CANCELED” and to return such Subordinated Note to the Buyer upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Termination Date.

Receivables Sale Agreement

(c) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable purchased after the date hereof shall be due and payable by the Buyer to the applicable Originator on the Payment Date therefor, a precise reconciliation of the Purchase Prices between Buyer and each Originator shall be effected on a Payment Date with respect to all Receivables sold or contributed during the Calculation Period (or portion thereof) most recently ended prior to such Payment Date. Although such reconciliation shall be effected on Payment Dates, increases or decreases in the principal balance of each Subordinated Note and any contribution of capital by Colors to the Buyer made pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the date that the Purchase Price is due and payable; provided that the interest due and owing on each Subordinated Note on any Payment Date shall continue to be calculated based on the principal amount outstanding as of the prior Payment Date. On each Payment Date, each Originator shall determine the net increase or the net reduction in the outstanding principal amount of its Subordinated Note and, in the case of Colors, the amount of any capital contributions occurring during the immediately preceding Calculation Period (or portion thereof) and shall account for such net increase or net reduction in its books and records.

Section 1.3. Purchase Price Credit Adjustments.

If on any day:

(a) the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable originated by any Originator is:

(i) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected or returned goods or services, any cash discount or any adjustment or otherwise by such Originator or any Affiliate thereof, or

(ii) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or

(iii) reduced on account of the obligation of such Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

(iv) less than the amount included in the calculations in any Servicer Report, or

(b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1(l) through and including Section 2.1(p) is not true when made or deemed made with respect to any Receivable,

then, in such event, the Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder equal to (A) in the case of clauses (a)(i)-(iv) above, the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance, as applicable; and (B) in the case of clause (b) above, in the amount of the Purchase Price paid for such Receivable less Collections received by the Buyer thereon. If, on any day prior to the Termination Date, the Purchase Price Credit due from any Originator exceeds the Purchase Price payable to such Originator on such day, the excess amount may be credited against the Purchase Price payable to such Originator on one or more subsequent days; provided, however, that (1) if any portion of a Purchase Price Credit remains unrealized on the Termination Date, it shall be payable by the applicable Originator in cash on the Termination Date; (2) if any of the events described in clauses (a)(iv)-(iv) or (b) above occurs after the Termination Date, the resulting Purchase Price Credit shall be paid in cash on the date of occurrence; (3) no Purchase Price Credit shall include any amount to the extent the same represents losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial or credit condition of the related Obligor resulting in the inability to pay in respect of an Obligor; and (4) Purchase Price Credits owing from Colors relating to Contributed Receivables shall be reflected solely as reductions of Colors’ equity in Buyer.

Receivables Sale Agreement

Section 1.4. Payments and Computations, Etc.

All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to an account of the Servicer, for the account of the applicable Originators, designated from time to time by the Servicer or as otherwise directed by the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay funds so received to the applicable Originator entitled thereto, in cash or by way of credit to the appropriate intercompany account. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, interest accrued at the Default Rate in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that the Default Rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

Section 1.5. Transfer of Records.

In connection with any sale or contribution of Receivables hereunder, each Originator hereby contributes, sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to the Buyer all of its right and title to and interest in the Records relating to the Receivables sold or contributed hereunder, but solely to the extent related to the such Receivables, without the need for any further documentation in connection with such sale or contribution. In connection with such transfer, each Originator hereby grants to each of the Buyer, the Purchaser and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by such Originator to account for the Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer the Receivables, whether such software is owned by the applicable Originator or is owned by others and used by any Originator under license agreements with respect thereto; provided, however, that so long as the Records maintained in any software the license or sublicense of which hereunder would require the consent of the applicable licensor can be exported to Excel, such software (the “Excluded Software”) shall not be included in the license granted in this Section 1.5(a). The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted), and shall automatically terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

Section 1.6. Characterization.

If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.1(b), any transfer by any Originator to the Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized in any manner other than a true sale or true contribution or such transfer for any reason shall be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the applicable UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each transfer shall constitute a true sale or true contribution and absolute assignment thereof, each of the Originators hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables Assets and all proceeds thereof, whether existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date or thereafter arising through and including the Termination Date (collectively, the “Originator Collateral”), to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made by the Buyer to each Originator in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the Purchased Receivables originated by such Originator (and, in the case of Colors, the Purchase Price that would have been payable for its Contributed Receivables had they not been contributed to the Buyer’s capital), together with all other obligations of such Originator hereunder, which security interest, each of the Originators hereby represents and warrants, is valid, duly perfected and prior to all Adverse Claims. The Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

Receivables Sale Agreement

Article II

Representations and Warranties

Section 2.1. Representations and Warranties of Each of the Originators.

Each of the Originators hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer, solely as to itself and its Originator Collateral, on the Closing Date and on each date on which a Receivable of such Originator comes into existence prior to the Termination Date:

(a) Existence and Power. Such Originator is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly licensed or qualified to transact business in all jurisdictions where the character of the property owned or leased or the nature of the business transacted by them makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified (a) will not permanently preclude such Originator from maintaining any material action in any such jurisdiction even though such action arose in whole or in part during the period of such failure, and (b) will not result in any other Material Adverse Effect. Such Originator has all requisite power and authority, limited liability company or otherwise, to conduct its business, to own its properties and to execute and deliver, and to perform all of its obligations under, the Transaction Documents.

(b) Authorization of Sales; No Conflict as to Law or Agreements. The execution, delivery and performance by such Originator of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the sales and, as applicable, contributions of Receivables hereunder, the acceptance of the Subordinated Notes and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action and do not and will not (i) require any consent or approval of the equityholder(s) of such Originator, or any authorization, consent, approval, order, filing, registration or qualification by or with any governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, each of which has been obtained and is in full force and effect except for the filings or notices as may be necessary to perfect the sale to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and Section 7 of the Exchange Act or any regulation promulgated thereunder) or of any order, writ, injunction or decree presently in effect having applicability to such Originator or of the Organizational Documents of such Originator, (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease or instrument to which Such Originator is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected, or (iv) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien or other charge or encumbrance of any nature upon or with respect to any of the assets now owned or hereafter acquired by such Originator except, with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) above, where the failure to so comply with any of the foregoing could not reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Receivables Sale Agreement

(c) Legal Agreements. This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which either of the Originators is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Originator, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.

(d) Regulation U. Such Originator is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no part of the Purchase Price paid to such Originator will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock.

(e) Investment Company Act. Such Originator is not required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.

(f) Solvency. Such Originator is and, upon the making of each sale or contribution under this Agreement, will be, Solvent.

(g) Anti-Terrorism; Anti-Money Laundering; Anti-Corruption Laws. Such Originator is not, nor to its knowledge, is any of its Affiliates (i) an “enemy” or an “ally of the enemy” within the meaning of Section 2 of the Trading with the Enemy Act of the United States (50 U.S.C. App. §§ 1 et seq.), (ii) in violation of (A) the Trading with the Enemy Act, (B) any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto or (C) the Patriot Act (collectively, the “Anti-Terrorism Laws”) or (iii) a Sanctioned Person. No part of the proceeds of any Cash Investment hereunder will be unlawfully used directly or indirectly to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Country, or in any other manner that will result in any violation by any Person (including the Purchaser) of any Anti-Terrorism Laws. Such Originator has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by such Originator and its directors, officers, employees and agents in all material respects with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and such Originator and, to its knowledge, its directors, officers, employees and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects.

(h) Places of Business and Locations of Records. Such Originator’s principal place of business, chief executive office and the other locations (if any) where its Records are located are at the addresses listed on Exhibit II or such other locations of which the Buyer (and the Purchaser as its assignee) have been given prior notification in jurisdictions where all action required to maintain the perfection of the Buyer’s and the Purchaser’s interests in the Receivables Assets has been taken and completed. Such Originator’s Federal Employer Identification Number is correctly set forth on Exhibit II.

Receivables Sale Agreement

(i) Collections. Such Originator has directed the Obligors on its Receivables to make payments thereon to a Lock-Box, a Lock-Box Account or a Collection Account that is listed on Exhibit IV to the RPA. Such Originator has not granted any Person (other than the Buyer, the Servicer and their respective assigns) access to or control of any such Lock-Box, Lock-Box Account or Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and control of any such Lock-Box, Lock-Box Account or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event. To the extent that funds other than Collections are deposited into any Collection Account or Lock-Box Account, such Originator or the Servicer can promptly trace and identify which funds constitute Collections.

(j) Names. Except as stated on Exhibit II, in the five (5) years prior to the Closing Date, such Originator has not used any legal names, trade names or assumed names other than the name in which it has executed this Agreement.

(k) Ownership of the Originators. The Performance Guarantor owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of such Originator, free and clear of any Lien. Such Originator’s membership interests are validly issued and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire membership interests of such Originator.

(l) Good Title. Immediately prior to or contemporaneously with each sale or contribution hereunder, such Originator shall be the legal and beneficial owner of all of its existing Receivables and the Related Security with respect thereto, free and clear of any Lien except as created by the Transaction Documents and except for Permitted Liens.

(m) Perfection. Assuming the filing of the financing statements approved by such Originator on the date hereof, this Agreement, together with such financing statements, is effective to create in favor of the Buyer, a valid and perfected Security Interest in the Collateral, free and clear of any Lien except as created by the Transactions Documents and except for Permitted Liens.

(n) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. Such Originator has complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Receivable and the related Contract.

(o) Payments to Applicable Originator. With respect to each Receivable created by such Originator, the Buyer has given reasonably equivalent value to such Originator in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer by any Originator of any Receivable under the Sale Agreement is or may be voidable under any section of the Federal Bankruptcy Reform Code.

(p) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Receivables Sale Agreement

Article III

Conditions of Purchase

Section 3.1. Conditions Precedent to Closing.

The effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to the conditions precedent that (a) the Buyer shall have received on or before the Closing Date those documents listed on Schedule A attached hereto and (b) all of the conditions to the effectiveness of the Purchase Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 3.2. Conditions Precedent to Subsequent Payments.

The Buyer’s obligation to pay for any Purchased Receivable or accept the contribution of any Contributed Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be subject to the conditions precedent that: (a) the Facility Termination Date shall not have occurred under the Purchase Agreement; and (b) on the date such Receivable came into existence, the following statements shall be true (and acceptance of the proceeds of any payment for such Receivable shall be deemed a representation and warranty by each of the Originators that such statements are then true):

(i) the representations and warranties set forth in Article II are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date such Receivable came into existence as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); and

(ii) no Termination Event is continuing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing conditions precedent, upon payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivable (whether by payment of cash, through an increase in the amounts outstanding under a Subordinated Note, by offset of amounts owed to the Buyer and/or by offset of capital contributions), title to such Receivable and the other related Receivables Assets shall vest in the Buyer, whether or not the conditions precedent to the Buyer’s obligation to pay for such Receivable were in fact satisfied. The failure of any of the Originators to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent, however, shall give rise to a right of the Buyer to rescind the related purchase and direct the applicable Originator to pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the Purchase Price payment that shall have been made with respect to any Receivables related thereto.

Article IV

Covenants

Section 4.1. Affirmative Covenants of Each of the Originators.

Until the date on which this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each of the Originators hereby covenants as set forth below:

(a) Additional Information. Such Originator will maintain, for itself and each of its Subsidiaries, proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities, and will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Buyer (or its assigns) promptly, from time to time, such information, documents, records or reports relating to the Receivables originated by such Originator or the condition or operations, financial or otherwise, of such Originator as the Buyer (or its assigns) may from time to time reasonably request in order to protect the interests of the Buyer (and its assigns) under or as contemplated by this Agreement.

Receivables Sale Agreement

(b) Notices. Such Originator will furnish to the Buyer (and its assigns) each of the following:

(i) Copies of Notices under Control Agreements. Promptly upon its receipt from any Collection Bank under any Control Agreement to which such Originator is a party of (A) any notice of default or (B) any demand for reimbursement which is not covered by available funds in the applicable Collection Accounts, a copy of the same.

(ii) Adoption of a New Credit and Collection Policy. In the event such Originator adopts a Credit and Collection Policy which could reasonably be expected to adversely impact the Receivables of such Originator in any material respect, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of any such adoption, a copy of such Originator’s proposed new Credit and Collection Policy, together with a request for the Buyer’s (and the Purchaser’s, as the Buyer’s assignee) consent thereto (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(iii) Termination Events or Unmatured Termination Events. Promptly upon learning of the occurrence of any Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event, a statement of a Responsible Officer describing the same and, if applicable, the steps being taken with respect thereto.

(c) Compliance with Laws. Such Originator will comply with the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, the non-compliance with which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.2. Negative Covenants of the Each of the Originators.

Until the date on which this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each of the Originators hereby covenants that:

(a) Change in Name, Jurisdiction of Incorporation, Offices and Records.

(c) Modifications to Contracts. Except as otherwise permitted in its capacity as Servicer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, it will not extend, amend or otherwise modify the payment terms of any Receivable or any Contract related to such Receivable in any material respect other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

SUBORDINATED NOTE

October 3, 2016

1. Note. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Sensient Receivables LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to ________________________________ (the “Originator”), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the aggregate unpaid principal sum outstanding of all “Subordinated Loans” made from time to time by the Originator to the Buyer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of that certain Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2016, between the Originator and certain of its affiliates, as sellers, and the Buyer (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sale Agreement”). Reference to Section 1.2 of the Sale Agreement is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby have been and will be made. All terms which are capitalized and used herein and which are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Agreement.

2. Interest. The Buyer further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at a rate equal to the Discount Rate (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), computed for actual days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days, on each Payment Date hereafter on which no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event (each, as defined in the Purchase Agreement) exists and is continuing, to the extent of the Buyer’s Available Cash (it being understood and agreed that any amount of interest which the Buyer is precluded from paying due to the existence and continuance of an Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event or the lack of sufficient Available Cash shall become due and payable on the next Payment Date on which no such condition persists); provided, however, that if the Buyer shall default in the payment of any principal hereof, the Buyer promises to pay, on demand, interest at the rate equal to the Default Rate per annum on any such unpaid amounts, from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment; and provided further, that the Buyer may elect on the date any interest payment is due hereunder to defer such payment and upon such election the amount of interest due but unpaid on such date shall constitute principal under this Subordinated Note. The outstanding unpaid interest of any loan made under this Subordinated Note shall be due and payable on Termination Date and may be paid with the prepayment of principal at any time without premium or penalty.

3. Principal Payments. On each Payment Date hereafter on which no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event (each, as defined in the Purchase Agreement) exists and is continuing, the Buyer shall pay to the Originator the outstanding principal balance of this Subordinated Note to the extent of the Buyer’s Available Cash (it being understood and agreed that any amount of principal which the Buyer is precluded from paying due to the existence and continuance of an Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event or the lack of sufficient Available Cash shall become due and payable on the next Payment Date on which no such condition persists). The Originator is authorized and directed by the Buyer to enter on the grid attached hereto, or, at its option, in its books and records, the date and amount of each loan made by it which is evidenced by this Subordinated Note and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Buyer, and absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered; provided that neither the failure of the Originator to make any such entry or any error therein shall expand, limit or affect the obligations of the Buyer hereunder. The outstanding principal of any loan made under this Subordinated Note shall be due and payable on the Termination Date and may be repaid or prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

Receivables Sale Agreement

4. Subordination. The Originator shall have the right to receive, and the Buyer shall make, any and all payments and prepayments relating to the loans made under this Subordinated Note, provided that, after giving effect to any such payment or prepayment, the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Receivables (as each such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) owned by the Buyer at such time exceeds the sum of (i) the Aggregate Unpaids (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) outstanding at such time under the Purchase Agreement, plus (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all loans made under this Subordinated Note.

The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, the Purchaser and/or any of its permitted assignees (collectively, the “Senior Claimants”) under the Purchase Agreement.

Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by the Originator in violation of this Section 4, such payment shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the property of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Purchaser for the benefit of the Senior Claimants.

5. Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Bankruptcy involving the Buyer as debtor, then and in any such event the Senior Claimants shall receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of the Aggregate Capital and the Senior Claim (including “Discount” as defined and as accruing under the Purchase Agreement after the commencement of any such proceeding, whether or not any or all of such Discount is an allowable claim in any such proceeding) before the Originator is entitled to receive payment on account of this Subordinated Note, and to that end, any payment or distribution of assets of the Buyer of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in any applicable insolvency proceeding, which would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness under this Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Purchaser for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Claim until such Senior Claim shall have been paid in full and satisfied.
