Each quote shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which a Prudential Affiliate or Affiliates would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof. 2B(5). Acceptance. Within the Acceptance Window with respect to any interest rate quotes provided pursuant to paragraph 2B(4), the Company may, subject to paragraph 2B(6), elect to accept such interest rate quotes as to not less than $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase. Such election shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Company notifying Prudential by telephone, e-mail or facsimile transmission within the Acceptance Window that the Company elects to accept such interest rate quotes, specifying the Shelf Notes (each such Shelf Note being an “Accepted Note”) as to which such acceptance (an “Acceptance”) relates. The day the Company notifies Prudential of an Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is herein called the “Acceptance Day” for such Accepted Notes. Any interest rate quotes as to which Prudential does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. Subject to paragraph 2B(6) and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to a Prudential Affiliate or Affiliates, and Prudential agrees to cause the purchase by a Prudential Affiliate or Affiliates of, the Accepted Notes at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Company and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (a “Confirmation of Acceptance”). If the Company should fail to execute and return to Prudential within three Business Days following the Company’s receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes, Prudential or any Prudential Affiliate may at its election at any time prior to Prudential’s receipt thereof cancel the closing with respect to such Accepted Notes by so notifying the Company in writing. 2B(6). Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2B(5), if during an Acceptance Window and prior to the time of the applicable Acceptance the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities, derivatives or other financial instruments shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities, derivatives or other financial instruments, then such interest rate quotes 5

shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. If the Company thereafter notifies Prudential of the Acceptance of any such interest rate quotes, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and Prudential shall promptly notify the Company that the provisions of this paragraph 2B(6) are applicable with respect to such Acceptance. 2B(7). Facility Closings. Not later than 11:30 A.M. (New York City local time) on the Closing Day for any Accepted Notes, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto at the offices of PrudentialPGIM Private Capital, 180Credit, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Law Department, or at such other place as Prudential may have directed, the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Notes to be purchased on the Closing Day, dated the Closing Day and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against payment of the purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the Company’s account specified in the Request for Purchase of such Notes. If the Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted Notes as provided above in this paragraph 2B(7), or any of the conditions specified in paragraph 3 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled Closing Day, the Company shall, prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day notify Prudential (which notification shall be deemed received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than one Business Day and not more than 10 Business Days after such scheduled Closing Day (the “Rescheduled Closing Day”)) and certify to Prudential (which certification shall be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the conditions set forth in paragraph 3 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee in accordance with paragraph 2B(8)(iii) or (ii) such closing is to be canceled. In the event that the Company shall fail to give such notice referred to in the preceding sentence, Prudential (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after 1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company in writing that such closing is to be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement, the Company may not elect to reschedule a closing with respect to any given Accepted Notes on more than one occasion, unless Prudential shall have otherwise consented in writing. 2B(8). Fees. 2B(8)(i). [Reserved]. 2B(8)(ii). [Reserved]. 2B(8)(iii). Delayed Delivery Fee. If the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note, the Company will pay to each Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note (a) on the Cancellation Date or actual closing date of such purchase and sale and (b) if earlier, the next Business Day following 90 days after the Acceptance Day for such 6

Accepted Note and on each Business Day following 90 days after the prior payment hereunder, a fee (the “Delayed Delivery Fee”) calculated as follows: (BEY – MMY) X DTS/360 X PA where “BEY” means Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per annum of such Accepted Note; “MMY” means Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield per annum on a commercial paper investment of the highest quality selected by Prudential and having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled Closing Day or Rescheduled Closing Days for such Accepted Note (a new alternative investment being selected by Prudential each time such closing is delayed); “DTS” means Days to Settlement, i.e., the number of actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note (in the case of the first such payment with respect to such Accepted Note) or from and including the date of the next preceding payment (in the case of any subsequent Delayed Delivery Fee payment with respect to such Accepted Note) to but excluding the date of such payment; and “PA” means Principal Amount, i.e., the principal amount of the Accepted Note for which such calculation is being made. In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Accepted Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with paragraph 2B(7). 2B(8)(iv). Cancellation Fee. If the Company at any time notifies Prudential in writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note, or if Prudential notifies the Company in writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of paragraph 2B(5) or the penultimate sentence of paragraph 2B(7) that the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or if the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not consummated on or prior to the last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any such notification or the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being the “Cancellation Date”), the Company will pay to each Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note on the Cancellation Date in immediately available funds an amount (the “Cancellation Fee”) calculated as follows: PI X PA where “PI” means Price Increase, i.e., the quotient (expressed in decimals) obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the ask price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Notes(s) on the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note by (b) such bid price; and “PA” has the meaning ascribed to it in paragraph 2B(8)(iii). The foregoing bid and ask prices shall be as reported by TradeWeb LLC (or, if such data for any reason ceases to be available through TradeWeb LLC, any publicly available source of similar market data customarily used by financial institutions). Each price shall be based on a U.S. Treasury security having a par value of $100.00 and shall be rounded to the second decimal place. In no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero. 3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not prepay any Series of Notes under this paragraph 4B if a Default or Event of Default shall exist or would result from such optional prepayment unless all Notes at the time outstanding are prepaid on a pro rata basis. Any partial prepayment of a Series of Notes pursuant to this paragraph 4B shall be applied in satisfaction of required payments of principal thereof (including the required payment of principal due upon the maturity thereof) in inverse order of their scheduled due dates. 4C. Notice of Optional Prepayment. The Company shall give the holder of each Note of a Series to be prepaid pursuant to paragraph 4B irrevocable written notice of such prepayment not less than 10 Business Days prior to the prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day), specifying such prepayment date and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series, and the Notes of such Series held by such holder, to be prepaid on such date, and stating that such prepayment is to be made pursuant to paragraph 4B. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Notes specified in such notice, together with interest thereon to the prepayment date and together with the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, and Excess Leverage Fee, if any, accrued to the date of prepayment with respect thereto, shall become due and payable on such prepayment date and subject only to consummation of a financing or other transaction (a “Payoff Transaction”) described in reasonable detail therein. The Company shall keep each applicable holder of Notes reasonably and timely informed of (x) any deferral of the closing of a Payoff Transaction, (y) the date on 12

which such Payoff Transaction and the prepayment are expected to occur and (z) any determination by the Company that efforts to effect such Payoff Transaction have ceased or been abandoned (in which case the prepayment notice given pursuant to this paragraph 4C in respect of such proposed prepayment shall be deemed rescinded); provided that, in any event, the Company shall give the applicable holders of the Notes no less than three Business Days’ prior notice of such prepayment. The Company shall, on or before the day on which it gives written notice of any prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4B, give telephonic notice of the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid and the prepayment date to each holder of the Notes that is an Institutional Investor which shall have designated a recipient of such notices in the Purchaser Schedule attached hereto or the applicable Confirmation of Acceptance or by notice in writing to the Company. 4D. Application of Prepayments. In the case of each prepayment of less than the entire outstanding principal amount of all Notes of any Series pursuant to paragraphs 4A or 4B, the principal amount so prepaid shall be allocated pro rata to all Notes of such Series at the time outstanding in proportion to the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof. 4E. Offer to Prepay Notes in the Event of a Change of Control. 4E(1). Notice of Change of Control. The Company will, at least 10 days prior to any Change of Control, give written notice of such Change of Control to each holder of the Notes. Such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay the Notes as described in paragraph 4E(3) and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in paragraph 4E(6). 4E(2). Notice of Acceptance of Offer under Paragraph 4E(1). If the Company shall at any time receive an acceptance to an offer to prepay Notes under paragraph 4E(1) from some, but not all, of the holders of the Notes, then the Company will, within two Business Days after the receipt of such acceptance, give written notice of such acceptance to each other holder of the Notes. 4E(3). Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by paragraph 4E(1) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this paragraph 4E, all, but not less than all, of the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) at the time of the occurrence of the Change of Control. 4E(4). Rejection; Acceptance. A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this paragraph 4E by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company prior to the prepayment date. A failure by a holder of Notes to so respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this paragraph 4E shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder. 4E(5). Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this paragraph 4E shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment and any Excess Leverage Fee 13

accrued to the date of prepayment but without any Yield-Maintenance Amount with respect thereto. The prepayment shall be made at the time of occurrence of a Change of Control. 4E(6). Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this paragraph 4E shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Responsible Officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer, specifying (i) the proposed prepayment date (which shall be the date of the Change of Control), (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this paragraph 4E, (iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid, (iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the prepayment date, (v) that the conditions of this paragraph 4E have been fulfilled, (vi) in reasonable detail, to the extent permitted by applicable confidentiality provisions related to the Change of Control, the nature and anticipated date of the Change of Control, and (vii) that the information contained in the notice and in the certificate of Responsible Officer, including the prospect of an anticipated Change of Control, constitutes Confidential Information. 4F. No Acquisition of Notes. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, prepay or otherwise retire in whole or in part prior to their stated final maturity (other than by prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4A or 4B, upon acceptance of an offer to prepay pursuant to paragraph 4E, or upon acceleration of such final maturity pursuant to paragraph 7A), or purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, Notes of any Series held by any holder unless the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have offered to prepay or otherwise retire or purchase or otherwise acquire, as the case may be, the same proportion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes of such Series held by each other holder of Notes of such Series at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions; provided that the Company may offer to purchase Notes of only a given Series (as opposed to an offer to purchase all, or a pro rata portion of all, Notes at the time outstanding) under this paragraph 4F only to the extent no Default or Event of Default shall exist or would result from such purchase. Any Notes so prepaid or otherwise retired or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose under this Agreement. 5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. During the Issuance Period and so long thereafter as any Note is outstanding and unpaid, the Company covenants as follows: 5A. Financial Statements.

(ii) If after the time this Agreement is amended pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph 5L to include in this Agreement any Additional Covenant or Additional Default (an “Incorporated Provision”) contained in the Credit Agreement, such Incorporated Provision ceases to be in effect under or is deleted from the Credit Agreement or is amended or modified for the purposes of the Credit Agreement so as to become less restrictive with respect to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or Subsidiaries, as applicable, then, upon the request of the Company, Prudential and the holders of the Notes will amend this Agreement to delete or similarly amend or modify, as the case may be, such Incorporated CovenantProvision as in effect in this Agreement, provided that (a) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence immediately before or after such deletion, amendment or modification (including under such Incorporated Provision otherwise to be deleted, amended or modified), and (b) if any fees or other remuneration were paid to any lender under the Credit Agreement with respect to causing such Incorporated Provision to cease to be in effect or be deleted or to be so amended or modified, then the Company shall have paid to the holders of the Notes the same fees or other remuneration on a pro rata basis in proportion to the relative outstanding principal amounts of the Notes and the principal amount of the Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

restrictive as to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries or Subsidiaries, as applicable, than such covenant or Event of Default as contained in this Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, and as amended other than as the result of the application of clause (i) of this paragraph 5L originally caused by such Incorporated Provision in the Credit Agreement. 5M.

The payment and acceptance of any Excess Leverage Fee shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. If for any reason the Company fails, to deliver the financial statements required by paragraph 5A(i) or 5A(ii) hereof or the related compliance certificate for a fiscal quarter or fiscal year by the date such financial statements and compliance certificate are required to be delivered, then the Company shall be deemed to have a Debt to Earnings Ratio as of the end of such fiscal quarter or fiscal year of greater than 2.50 to 1.00 solely for the purposes of this paragraph 5N. 6.

Whenever any Note shall be declared immediately due and payable pursuant to paragraph 7A or any such declaration shall be rescinded and annulled pursuant to paragraph 7B, the Company shall forthwith give written notice thereof to the holder of each Note at the time outstanding. 7D. Other Remedies. If any Event of Default or Default shall occur and be continuing, the holder of any Note may proceed to protect and enforce its rights under this 34

Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and such Note by exercising such remedies as are available to such holder in respect thereof under applicable law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for specific performance of any covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or any Transaction Document. No remedy conferred in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents upon the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Company represents and warrants as follows: 8A(1). Organization; Subsidiary Preferred Stock. (i) The Company is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and each Restricted Subsidiary is duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated. The Company and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries have duly qualified or been duly licensed, and are authorized to do business and are in good standing, in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of their respective properties or the nature of their respective businesses makes such qualification or licensing necessary and in which the failure to be so qualified or licensed could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Restricted Subsidiary has any outstanding shares of any class of capital stock which has priority over any other class of capital stock of such Subsidiary as to dividends or in liquidation except as may be owned beneficially and of record by the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary. (ii) Schedule 8A(1) (as it may be updated as of any Closing Day other than the Effective Date) contains (except as noted therein) a complete and correct list (a) of the Company’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, its status (whether (1) a Restricted or Unrestricted Subsidiary and (2) a Significant Subsidiary or not), the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary, and (b) of the Company’s directors and senior officers. (iii) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of each Restricted Subsidiary shown in Schedule 8A(1) as being owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 8A(1)). (iv) No Restricted Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any legal restriction or any Material agreement (other than this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 8A(1) and customary limitations imposed by corporate law statutes) restricting the ability of such Restricted Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Restricted Subsidiary. 35

8A(2) Power and Authority. The Company and each Restricted Subsidiary has all requisite corporate power, limited liability company or partnership, as the case may be, to own or hold under lease and operate their respective properties which it purports to own or hold under lease and to conduct its business as currently conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted. 8A(3). Execution and Delivery of Transaction Documents. The Company and each Subsidiary has all requisite corporate, limited liability company or partnership, as the case may be, power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate, limited liability company or partnership, as the case may be, action, and this Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by authorized officers of the Company and each Subsidiary which is a party thereto and are valid obligations of the Company and each such Subsidiary, legally binding upon and enforceable against the Company and each such Subsidiary in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 8B. Financial Statements. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission annual reports on Form 10-K for each of the three fiscal years of the Company most recently completed prior to the date as of which this representation is made or repeated to such Purchaser (other than fiscal years completed within 90 days prior to such date for which audited financial statements have not been released), containing the following financial statements: a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries and consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for each such year. Such financial statements (including any related schedules and/or notes) present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates shown and their results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown, and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The balance sheets fairly present the condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof, and the statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows fairly present the results of the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their cash flows for the periods indicated. There has been no material adverse change in the business, property or assets, condition (financial or otherwise), operations or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole since July 31, 2019, or, in the case of the making of this representation with respect to the issuance of a Series of Shelf Notes, and except as otherwise disclosed in reports of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission since the end of the fiscal year referenced below and provided to Prudential and the holders of the Notes pursuant to paragraph 5A hereof, since the end of the most recent fiscal year for which audited financial statements described in the first sentence of this paragraph 8B have been filed prior to the time Prudential provided the interest rate quote to the Company pursuant to paragraph 2B(4) with respect to such Series of Shelf Notes. 36

8C. Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any properties or rights of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, by or before any court, arbitrator or administrative or governmental body which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in any Material Adverse Effect. 8D. Outstanding Debt. Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has outstanding any Debt except as permitted by paragraphs 6A(2) and 6B. There exists no default under the provisions of any instrument evidencing such Debt having an outstanding principal amount in excess of $1,000,000 or of any agreement relating thereto. 8E. Title to Properties. The Company has and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has good and indefeasible title to its respective real properties (other than properties which it leases) and good title to all of its other respective properties and assets, including the properties and assets reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in paragraph 8B (other than properties and assets disposed of in the ordinary course of business), subject to no Lien of any kind except Liens permitted by paragraph 6C. All leases necessary in any material respect for the conduct of the respective businesses of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect. 8F. Taxes. The Company has and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has filed all federal, state and other income tax returns which, to the knowledge of the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, are required to be filed, and each has paid all taxes as shown on such returns and on all assessments received by it to the extent that such taxes have become due, except such taxes (a) the amount of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (b) as are being actively contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The U.S. federal income tax liabilities of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016, and the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries have satisfied all known U.S federal income tax liabilities for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018. 8G. Conflicting Agreements and Other Matters. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any contract or agreement or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which can reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affects its ability to conduct its business or its property or assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents, nor the offering, issuance and sale of the Notes, nor fulfillment of nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof and of the Notes and the other Transaction Documents will conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, the charter or by-laws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any award of any arbitrator or any agreement 37

Independence of Covenants; Beneficiaries of Covenants. All covenants hereunder and in the other Transaction Documents shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is prohibited by any one of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise be in compliance within the limitations of, another covenant shall not (i) avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists or (ii) in any way prejudice an attempt by Prudential or the holder of any Note to prohibit through equitable action or otherwise the taking of any action by the Company or any Subsidiary which would result in a Default or Event of Default. The covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement are intended to be only for the benefit of Prudential, the Purchasers and the holders from time of the Notes, and their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any Transferee), and are not intended to be for the benefit of or enforceable by any other Person. 11I.

Descriptive Headings; Advice of Counsel; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement represents to the other parties to this Agreement that such party has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, that such party has discussed this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with its counsel and that any and all issues with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been resolved as set forth herein. No provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured, drafted or dictated such provision. 11P. Counterparts; Facsimile or Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (or counterpart signature pages), each of which counterparts shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Severalty of Obligations. The sales of Notes to the Purchasers are to be several sales, and the obligations of Prudential and the Purchasers under this Agreement are several obligations. No failure by Prudential or any Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall relieve any other Purchaser or the Company of any of its obligations hereunder, and neither Prudential nor any Purchaser shall be responsible for the obligations of, or any action taken or omitted by, any other such Person hereunder. 11R. Independent Investigation. Each Purchaser represents to and agrees with each other Purchaser that it has made its own independent investigation of the condition (financial and otherwise), prospects and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with its purchase of the Notes hereunder and has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company. No holder of Notes shall have any duties or responsibility to any other holder of Notes, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or appraisal or to provide any credit or other information with respect thereto. No holder of Notes is acting as agent or in any other fiduciary capacity on behalf of any other holder of Notes. 73

11S. Directly or Indirectly. Where any provision in this Agreement refers to actions to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether the action in question is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. 11T. Confidential Information. For the purposes of this paragraph 11T, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to Prudential or any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is clearly proprietary in nature or is marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by Prudential or such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to Prudential or such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by Prudential or such Purchaser or any person acting on Prudential’s or such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to Prudential or such Purchaser other than through disclosure by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary or other person under obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to Prudential or such Purchaser under paragraph 5A that are otherwise publicly available. Prudential and each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by Prudential or such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to Prudential or such Purchaser, provided that Prudential or such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information together with notice of its confidentiality to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of this Agreement or the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this paragraph 11T, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph 11T), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph 11T), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any successor thereto (the “NAIC”) or the Capital Markets & Investment Analysis Office of the NAIC or any successor to such Office or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about Prudential or such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to Prudential or such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which Prudential or such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent Prudential or such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this paragraph 11T as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be 74

delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), or in connection with a transfer contemplated by paragraph 11D, such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this paragraph 11T. In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, Prudential, any Purchaser or any holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this paragraph 11T, this paragraph 11T shall not be amended thereby and, as between Prudential, such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this paragraph 11T shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking. 11U. Transaction References. The Company agrees that Prudential and Prudential Private Capital (or an Affiliate thereof) may (a) refer to its role in establishing the Facility, to the purchase of the Notes and the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and the date on which the Facility and Notes were established, on its internet site, social media channels or in marketing materials, press releases, published “tombstone” announcements or any other print or electronic medium and (b) display the Company’s corporate logo in conjunction with any such reference so long as prior to any such use or reference the Company has approved such use or reference (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).consents to the publication by PGIM, Inc., and its affiliates of customary advertising material relating to the transactions contemplated hereby using the name(s), product photographs, logo(s) or trademark(s) of the Company and its Subsidiaries. 11V. Binding Agreement. When this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Company, Prudential, the Existing Holders, and the Effective Date Purchasers it shall become a binding agreement between the Company, Prudential, the Existing Holders, and the Effective Date Purchasers. This Agreement shall also inure to the benefit of each Purchaser which shall have executed and delivered a Confirmation of Acceptance, and each such Purchaser shall be bound by this Agreement to the extent provided in such Confirmation of Acceptance.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used EXHIBIT F-1 [FORM OF OPINION OF COMPANY’S AND GUARANTORS’ COUNSEL] May 15, 2020

herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Note Agreement. In rendering this opinion, we have examined: 1. the Note Agreement; 2. the Series B Notes issued by the Company on the date hereof and described on Exhibit A (the “Series B Notes”); 3. the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement; 4. the Certificate of Incorporation or the Articles of Organization, as applicable, of the Company, Mounds Production, Mounds Management and ▇▇▇▇ (collectively, the “IL/DE Credit Parties”), as certified to be in effect on the date hereof; 5. the By-laws and Operating Agreement, as applicable, of the IL/DE Credit Parties, as certified to be in effect on the date hereof; 6. Certificates of Good Standing (or similar certificates) for each IL/DE Credit Party dated as of a recent date from the Secretary of State of Delaware and Illinois, as applicable; 7. Resolutions adopted by written consent of the governing body of each IL/DE Credit Party approving, as applicable, the Note Agreement, the Series B Notes, the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, as certified by the Secretary of each IL/DE Credit Party (or, with respect to Mounds Production, the sole manager and majority member of Mounds Production); and 8. such other documents as we, in our professional judgment, have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below (items (1) through (3) above are referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Documents”; and items (4) though (5) above are referred to herein collectively as the “Organizational Documents”). In examining the documents referred to above, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all-natural persons, the authenticity and completeness of documents purporting to be originals and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied (without investigation or independent confirmation) upon the representations contained in the Transaction Documents and on certificates and other communications from public officials, officers, employees and transfer agents of the Credit Parties. We have also assumed, except to the extent expressly stated as an opinion herein with respect to the Credit Parties, that each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitutes the legal and valid obligation of, each party thereto and is enforceable against such party in accordance with its respective terms. We have further assumed that, with respect to each Guarantor, other than the IL/DE Credit Parties, (i) such Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of its organization, (ii) such Guarantor has adequate corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform all of its agreements under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (iii) all requisite organizational action has been taken for the due execution, delivery and performance by such F-1-2

Guarantor of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and (iv) the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Guarantor. Furthermore, we have assumed that, with respect to each Guarantor, other than the IL/DE Credit Parties, the obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to the Transaction Documents do not violate (i) the organizational documents of such Guarantor, (ii) any statute, law, rule, regulation, order or act of any governmental authority of the jurisdiction in which such Guarantor was organized or other jurisdiction in which such Guarantor does business, (iii) any agreement to which such Guarantor is a party or by which such Guarantor or its assets is bound, and (iv) any principles of public policy of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor or other jurisdiction in which such Guarantor does business. We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Delaware General Corporation Law, the statutory laws and regulations of the State of Illinois, and the statutory laws and regulations of the United States of America. For purposes of this opinion, the following terms shall have the following meanings: “Applicable Laws” means the Delaware General Corporation Law, the statutory laws and regulations of the State of Illinois and the statutory laws and regulations of the United States of America which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents, without our having made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific law. “Governmental Approval” means any consent, approval, license or authorization of, or filing, or registration with, any governmental authority required by the Applicable Laws (other than, in the case of any Credit Party that is not incorporated or formed in Delaware, the Delaware General Corporation Law). Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: 1. Each IL/DE Credit Party is a corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of its organization. 2. Each IL/DE Credit Party has the requisite corporate or limited liability company power to execute, deliver and perform its agreements under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. 3. The execution and delivery by each IL/DE Credit Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the performance by such IL/DE Credit Party of its agreements under such documents have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or limited liability company action on the part of such IL/DE Credit Party. The Transaction Documents to which each IL/DE Credit Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such IL/DE Credit Party. 4. The Transaction Documents to which each Credit Party is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Credit Party and are enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms. F-1-3

5. The execution and delivery by each Credit Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by each Credit Party of its agreements under such documents, do not (a) violate the Organizational Documents of any IL/DE Credit Party, (b) violate any Applicable Laws, or (c) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement listed on Exhibit B. 6. No Governmental Approval is required on the part of each Credit Party to make valid and legally binding the execution, delivery and performance by such Credit Party of its agreements under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, except for Governmental Approvals (a) specified in the Transaction Documents or (b) already obtained or made. 7. None of the Credit Parties is, and none of the Credit Parties immediately following application of the proceeds of the Series B Notes as provided in the Note Agreement on the date hereof will be, required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 8. Assuming that the Credit Parties apply the proceeds of the Series B Notes as provided in the Note Agreement, the sale of the Series B Notes as provided in the Note Agreement will comply with the provisions of Regulations U and X of the Federal Reserve Board. 9. The offer, sale and issuance of the Series B Notes by the Company to the Effective Date Purchasers under the circumstances contemplated by the Note Agreement does not require registration under the Securities Act; provided, however, that we express no opinion as to any subsequent offer, sale or transfer of the Notes by any Purchaser or any other holder of Notes. The foregoing opinions are subject to the following additional qualifications, assumptions and limitations: (a) With respect to our opinions in Paragraph 1 above regarding the good standing of each of the IL/DE Credit Parties, we have relied solely on Certificates of Good Standing (or similar certificates) issued by (i) the Secretary of State of Delaware and Illinois and (ii) as to the valid existence of the IL/DE Credit Parties, we have assumed that no event has occurred that would cause the dissolution of any IL/DE Credit Party under the applicable By-Laws or Operating Agreement and that such party has not taken any voluntary action to dissolve, wind up, terminate or otherwise cease to exist. We have assumed that each governing document that is an operating agreement is (A) a valid and binding agreement of the parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms, (B) in full force and effect, and (C) the entire agreement of the parties pertaining to the subject matter thereof. (b) The enforceability of any obligation of any Credit Party may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws, reorganization, rehabilitation, moratorium, marshalling or other laws affecting the enforcement generally of creditors’ rights and remedies. F-1-4

(c) The opinions set forth in this opinion letter are subject to principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law), public policy, applicable laws relating to fiduciary duties, judicial imposition of an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and principles regarding successor liability, equitable subordination, substantive consolidation of entities and the existence or adequacy of consideration for a Person’s guarantee of its affiliate’s obligations. (d) No opinion is given herein as to the availability of specific performance or equitable relief of any kind. (e) We express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of (i) purported waivers of any statutory or other rights, court rules or defenses to obligations or consents to any actions where such waivers or consents (A) are against public policy or (B) constitute waivers of rights or consents to actions which by law, regulation or judicial decision may not otherwise be waived or given, (ii) provisions indemnifying any person against, or relieving any person of liability for, its own negligent or wrongful acts or in any other circumstances where enforcement of such provisions would be against public policy or limited or prohibited by applicable law, (iii) any provisions which purport to authorize or permit any person to act in a manner which is determined not to be in good faith or commercially reasonable or any provisions which purport to waive any rights in respect of such acts, (iv) any provisions which purport to authorize or permit any person to exercise any right or remedy upon any nonmaterial breach or default, (v) any forum selection, jurisdiction, service of process or choice-of-law provision or any provision purporting to waive the right of trial by jury, the objection of improper venue or inconvenient forum or any unknown rights and defenses or that purports to confer or relate to the subject matter jurisdiction of any court, (vi) any powers of attorney to the extent that they purport to grant rights and powers that may not be granted under applicable law or any provision making such powers of attorney irrevocable, whether or not coupled with an interest, (vii) any provisions that purport to permit the exercise of “self-help” remedies, including, without limitation, the exercise of rights of setoff or purported rights to enter onto the property of any person or take physical possession of any property, (viii) any right or obligation to the extent that the same may be varied by course of dealing or performance or by an agreement between or among the parties that is not set out in the Transaction Documents, (ix) any provision that may provide for the compounding of interest or the payment or accrual of interest on interest or for interest after judgment or after the filing of a voluntary or involuntary proceeding for bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or as to the effect of such laws, if applicable, (x) any provision purporting to establish evidentiary standards, (xi) any provision permitting Prudential or any Purchaser the pursuit of enforcement actions without notice, (xii) any provision that is subject to any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence, (xiii) any provision prohibiting the non-written modification of any document, (xiv) any provision relating to increased interest rates or late payment charges upon delinquency or default, or providing for liquidated damages or for premiums on prepayment, acceleration, redemption, cancellation or termination, or make-whole payments to the extent any such provision is deemed to result in a penalty or forfeiture, or in the case of liquidated damages, to the extent determined to be unreasonable in amount, or any provision requiring payment of F-1-5

attorneys’ fees and expenses, in an amount in excess of the amount of loss actually suffered or reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses actually incurred, (xv) any provision purporting to vary any statute of limitations, or waiving in advance any defense with respect to statutes of limitation, (xvi) any provision purporting to allow an amendment or modification of an agreement to which any Credit Party is a party without the consent of such Credit Party, respectively, (xvii) any provision that purports to require a party to cause another person or entity to take or to refrain from taking any action, (xviii) any provision that purports to permit one party to direct another party to take any action that violates a law or a contract and (xix) any provision purporting to permit or require severability of any provision of a Transaction Document or that provides that certain provisions of a Transaction Document will remain enforceable if other provisions are or become illegal, invalid or unenforceable or that such provisions that prove to be or that become illegal, invalid or unenforceable shall be performed according to their spirit and purpose. (f) We express no opinion as to the application or requirements of or compliance with federal or state tax, criminal, anti-money-laundering, securities laundering or asset control laws or regulations, securities laws (other than as expressly set forth in Paragraphs 7 and 9), including state blue sky and other state securities laws, patent, trademark, copyright, antitrust and unfair competition, pension or employee benefit, labor, environmental, health and safety, export or import control, foreign investment, utility, energy, zoning, land use, building or construction, spousal consent, marital or community property laws, or the laws, regulations, or ordinances of any county, town or municipality or governmental subdivision or agency thereof, in respect of the transactions contemplated by or referred to in the Transaction Documents. (g) We draw your attention to the fact that we are not admitted to the Bar of the State of Delaware and are not experts in the law of the State of Delaware. To the extent relating to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our opinions expressed in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 are based solely upon our review of the statutory language of the Delaware General Corporation Law as in effect on the date hereof and not on any legislative history or judicial decisions or any rules, regulations, guidelines, releases or interpretations thereof. (h) We advise you that we are not qualified to practice law in Georgia, Mississippi, or Nevada and, in rendering our opinions expressed herein, we expressly have not considered the laws of such jurisdictions. (i) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any guarantee by any person or entity (a “Support Party”), if and to the extent that all or any portion of such guarantee secures or provides recourse to such Support Party in respect of, any “Swap Obligation” (or guarantee thereof) and which guarantee is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) (7 U.S.C. §§ 1, et seq.) or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof), by virtue of such Support Party’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the CEA and any CFTC rule, regulation or order (or the application or official interpretation of any F-1-6

thereof). For purposes of this paragraph, “Swap Obligation” means any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the CEA and any CFTC rule, regulation or order (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof). (j) In rendering the opinion in Paragraph 5(c), (i) we have assumed that all of the agreements and instruments referred to therein will be interpreted under the law of the State of Illinois, as to which assumption we express no opinion and (ii) we express no opinion as to (A) financial covenants or similar provisions in any agreements and instruments referred to therein requiring financial calculations or determinations to ascertain compliance, (B) provisions in any agreements and instruments referred to therein relating to the occurrence of a “material adverse event” or to an event that could result in a “material adverse change”, or words of similar import, (C) any statement or writing that may constitute parol evidence, course of dealing, course of performance or anything outside the written agreements and instruments referred to therein bearing on interpretation or construction of any agreements and instruments referred to therein, (D) provisions in any agreements and instruments referred to therein that depend for their application on facts that do not exist on the date of this opinion, or (E) the offer, sale or issuance of any Shelf Notes. (k) The opinions expressed herein are matters of professional judgment and are not a guarantee of result. This opinion is rendered solely to Prudential, the Existing Holders and the Effective Date Purchasers and is not to be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise referred to, nor is it to be filed with any government agency or any other person, without our prior written consent, and no one other than Prudential, the Existing Holders and the Effective Date Purchasers is entitled to rely on this opinion; provided that this opinion may be provided (but not relied upon) (i) to bank examiners and other regulatory authorities (including, but not limited to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (ii) to the independent auditors and attorneys of Prudential, a Purchaser or Transferee (as used herein, as defined in the Note Agreement), (iii) pursuant to order or legal process of any court or governmental agency, and (iv) in connection with any legal action to which Prudential, any Purchaser or Transferee is a party. At your request, we hereby consent to reliance hereon by any future assignee of your interest under the Note Agreement pursuant to an assignment that is made in accordance with the provisions thereof, on the condition and understanding that (a) this opinion speaks only as of the date hereof, (b) we have no responsibility or obligation to update this opinion, to consider its applicability or correctness to any person other than its addressee(s), or to take into account changes in law, facts or any other developments of which we may later become aware, and (c) any such reliance by a future assignee must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of assignment, including any changes in law, facts or any other developments known to or reasonably knowable by the assignee at such time. This opinion is given to you as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you of any change that may hereafter be brought to our attention. No attorney-client relationship exists or has existed by reason of our preparation, execution and delivery of this opinion letter to the addressee hereof or other person or entity except for the Credit Parties. In permitting reliance hereon by any person or entity other than the Credit Parties, we are not acting as counsel for such other person or entity and have not F-1-7

Restated Guaranty Agreement other than the Guarantors (those parties other than the Guarantors are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Other Parties”); (iii) the legal capacity of all natural persons executing the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement; (iv) that each of the Other Parties has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement enforceable against it; (v) the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Other Parties and is enforceable against the Other Parties in accordance with its terms; (vi) that each of the Other Parties has complied with all legal requirements pertaining to its status as such status relates to its rights to enforce the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement; (vii) that the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement accurately describes and contains the mutual understandings of the parties, and that there are no oral or written statements or agreements or usages of trade or courses of prior dealings among the parties that would modify, amend or vary any of the terms of the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement; (viii) that the Other Parties will act in accordance with, and will refrain from taking any action that is forbidden by, the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement; (ix) the constitutionality or validity of a relevant statute, rule, regulation or agency action is not in issue; (x) all agreements other than the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement with respect to which we have provided advice in our letter or reviewed in connection with our letter would be enforced as written by parties bringing actions thereunder; (xi) that there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence; and (xii) that each of the Other Parties and any agent acting for it in connection with the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement has acted without notice of any defense against the enforcement of any rights created by the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement. As used in this opinion with respect to any matter, the qualifying phrase “to the best of our knowledge” or “our actual knowledge” or such similar phrase means the conscious awareness of facts or other information by: (i) the lawyer signing this opinion; and (ii) any lawyer who has had active involvement in negotiating or preparing the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement or preparing this opinion. In this regard, it is noted that we have not made any special review or investigation in connection with rendering any opinion so qualified. Based on the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the qualifications, limitations and exceptions stated herein, we are of the opinion, having due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, that: 1. Each Guarantor is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation. 2. Each Guarantor has the requisite corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement. Each Guarantor’s execution, delivery and performance of the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of such Guarantor. The Amended and Restated Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by each Guarantor. F-2-3

F-2-4 3. Neither the execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of any Guarantor pursuant to, or require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice to or filing with any court, administrative or governmental body or other Person (other than routine filings after the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or state Blue Sky authorities) pursuant to, the charter or by-laws of any Guarantor, any applicable law (including Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any other securities or Blue Sky laws), statute, rule or regulation or (insofar as is known to us) any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which a Guarantor is a party or otherwise subject. 4. Neither the execution and delivery of the Note Agreement or the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Oil-Dri or any DE/IL Guarantor pursuant to any order, judgment or decree to which Oil-Dri or any DE/IL Guarantor is a party or otherwise subject. 5. To the best of our knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or overtly threatened (as that term is used in clause (a) of paragraph 5 of the Statement of Policy Regarding Lawyer’s Responses to Auditor’s Requests for Information) with respect to the Note Agreement or the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement against any Transaction Party in any United States state or federal court or before or by any governmental authority. Our opinions as herein expressed are subject to the following qualifications and limitations: 1. Our opinions are subject to the effect of federal and state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws relating to or affecting the rights of secured or unsecured creditors generally (or affecting the rights of only creditors of specific types of debtors), with respect to which we express no opinion. 2. We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the States of Georgia, Nevada and Mississippi (excluding local laws), and the federal laws of the United States of America.

EXHIBIT G [FORM OF GUARANTY AGREEMENT] AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT This AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT (the “Guaranty”), dated as of May 15, 2020, is made by each of the parties signatory hereto as a “Guarantor” (each, a “Guarantor”) in favor of the Guaranty Beneficiaries (as defined below). WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Oil-Dri Corporation of America, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has entered into that certain Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement (as amended, the “Note Agreement”), dated as of May 15, 2020, between the Company on the one hand and PGIM, Inc., the Existing Holders, the Effective Date Purchasers and each Prudential Affiliate which becomes a party thereto on the other hand (collectively, together with any other holders of the Notes from time to time, the “Guaranty Beneficiaries”, and each, a “Guaranty Beneficiary”) pursuant to which the Company has authorized the issuance of the Notes referred to therein; and WHEREAS, in connection with the Existing Agreement (as defined in the Note Agreement), the Guarantors are parties to a Guaranty Agreement in favor of the holders of the Notes (as defined in the Existing Guaranty), dated as of November 12, 2010 (the “Existing Guaranty”); WHEREAS, in connection with the Note Agreement, the parties hereto wish to amend and restate the Existing Guaranty as set forth herein; WHEREAS, each of the Guarantors is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company; and WHEREAS, as a condition to entering into the Note Agreement, PGIM, Inc., the Existing Holders and the Effective Date Purchasers have required that the Guarantors execute and deliver this Guaranty for the benefit of the Guaranty Beneficiaries; NOW THEREFORE, to satisfy one of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the Note Agreement, for and in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, does hereby covenant and agree as follows: G-1

1. DEFINITIONS; RECITALS. Capitalized terms that are used in this Guaranty and not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Note Agreement. The recitals in this Guaranty are incorporated into this Guaranty. 2. THE GUARANTY. 2A. Guaranty of Payment. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and prompt payment in United States currency when due (whether at maturity, a stated prepayment date or earlier by reason of acceleration or otherwise) and at all times thereafter, of all of the indebtedness, existing on the date hereof or arising from time to time hereafter, whether direct or indirect, joint or several, actual, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, arising by contract, operation of law or otherwise, of the Company to any Guaranty Beneficiary under or in respect of the Note Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the principal of and interest (including, without limitation, interest accruing before, during or after any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, and, if interest ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of any such proceeding, interest which otherwise would have accrued in the absence of such proceeding, whether or not allowed as a claim in such proceeding) on the Notes and any Yield-Maintenance Amount (collectively, the “Guarantied Obligations”). This is a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of any Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall not exceed the maximum amount that such Guarantor can guaranty without violating, or causing this Guaranty or such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty to be void, voidable or otherwise unenforceable under, any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law, including Section 548(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Upon an Event of Default, any Guaranty Beneficiary may, at its sole election and without notice, proceed directly and at once against any Guarantor to seek and enforce payment of, and to collect and recover, the Guarantied Obligations, or any portion thereof, without first proceeding against the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any security for the Guarantied Obligations or for the liability of any such other Person or the Guarantor hereunder. Each Guaranty Beneficiary shall have the exclusive right to determine the application of payments and credits, if any, to such Guaranty Beneficiary from each Guarantor, the Company or from any other Person on account of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise. This Guaranty and all covenants and agreements of each Guarantor contained herein shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be discharged until such a time as all of the Guarantied Obligations shall be indefeasibly paid in full in cash. 2B. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (i) the invalidity or unenforceability of the Note Agreement, the Notes or any other agreements, documents, certificates and instruments now or hereafter executed or delivered by the Company or any other Guarantor or any other Person in connection with the Note Agreement or any provision thereof; (ii) the absence of any attempt by any Guaranty Beneficiary to collect the Guarantied Obligations or any portion thereof from the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or other action to enforce the same; (iii) any failure by any Guaranty Beneficiary to acquire, perfect or G-2

maintain any security interest or lien in, or take any steps to preserve its rights to, any security for the Guarantied Obligations or any portion thereof or for the liability of any Guarantor hereunder or the liability of the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any or all of the Guarantied Obligations; (iv) any defense arising by reason of any disability (other than a defense of payment, unless the payment on which such defense is based was or is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, otherwise avoided and/or required to be repaid to the Company or a Guarantor, as the case may be, or the estate of any such party, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, in which case there shall be no defense of payment with respect to such payment) of the Company or any other Person liable on the Guarantied Obligations or any portion thereof; (v) any Guaranty Beneficiary's election, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §101 et seq.) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest to any Guaranty Beneficiary by the Company as debtor-in-possession, or extension of credit, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vii) the disallowance or avoidance of all or any portion of any Guaranty Beneficiary 's claim(s) for repayment of the Guarantied Obligations under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar state law or the avoidance, invalidity or unenforceability of any Lien securing the Guarantied Obligations or the liability of any Guarantor hereunder or of the Company or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations; (viii) any amendment to, waiver or modification of, or consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Note Agreement, the Notes or any other agreements, documents, certificates and instruments now or hereafter executed or delivered by the Company or any Guarantor or any other guarantor in connection with the Note Agreement (including, without limitation, any increase in the interest rate on the Notes); (ix) any change in any provision of any applicable law or regulation; to the extent the same may be waived under any such applicable law or regulation; (x) any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, domestic or foreign, binding on or affecting any Guarantor, the Company or any other guarantor or any of their assets; (xi) the certificate of incorporation or articles of organization (as the case may be), or the by-laws or limited liability company agreement (as the case may be) of any Guarantor or the Company or any other guarantor; (xii) any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract, or other agreement (including without limitation any agreement with stockholders), instrument or undertaking to which any Guarantor or the Company is a party or which purports to be binding on or affect any such Person or any of its assets; (xiii) any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any portion of any Guarantied Obligations or any such Person's property and any failure by any Guaranty Beneficiary to file or enforce a claim against the Company, any Guarantor or any such other Person in any such proceeding; (xiv) any failure on the part of the Company for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with any Guarantor; or (xv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (other than a defense of payment, unless the payment on which such defense is based was or is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, otherwise avoided and/or required to be repaid to the Company or a Guarantor, as the case may be, or the estate of any such party, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, in which case there shall be no defense of payment with respect to such payment). G-3

2C. Obligations Unimpaired. Each Guarantor agrees that each Guaranty Beneficiary is authorized, without demand or notice, which demand and notice are hereby waived, and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (which shall remain absolute and unconditional notwithstanding any such action or omission to act), from time to time to (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, the Guarantied Obligations or any portion thereof, or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of the Note Agreement, the Notes or any other agreements, documents, certificates and instruments now or hereafter executed or delivered by the Company or any Guarantor in connection with the Note Agreement; (ii) accept partial payments on the Guarantied Obligations; (iii) take and hold security for the Guarantied Obligations or any portion thereof or any other liabilities of the Company, the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty and the obligations under any other guaranties and sureties of all or any of the Guarantied Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive, release, sell, transfer, assign, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate or otherwise deal with any such security; (iv) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as any Guaranty Beneficiary may determine in its sole discretion; (v) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guarantied Obligations or any portion thereof and any security therefor or guaranty thereof in any manner; (vi) extend additional loans, credit and financial accommodations to the Company and otherwise create additional Guarantied Obligations; (vii) waive strict compliance with the terms of the Note Agreement, the Notes or any other agreements, documents, certificates and instruments now or hereafter executed or delivered by the Company or any Guarantor in connection with the Note Agreement and otherwise forbear from asserting any Guaranty Beneficiary's rights and remedies thereunder; (viii) take and hold additional guaranties or sureties and enforce or forbear from enforcing any guaranty or surety of any other guarantor or surety of the Guarantied Obligations, any portion thereof or release or otherwise take any action (or omit to take any action) with respect to any such guarantor or surety; (ix) assign this Guaranty in part or in whole in connection with any assignment of the Guarantied Obligations or any portion thereof; (x) exercise or refrain from exercising any of its rights against the Company or any Guarantor; and (xi) apply any sums, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the payment of the Guarantied Obligations as any Guaranty Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine. 2D.

No Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have acquired by way of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, or accept any payment on account of such subrogation rights, or any rights of reimbursement or indemnity or contribution or any rights or recourse to any security for the Guarantied Obligations or this Guaranty unless at the time of such Guarantor's exercise of any such right there shall have been performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash all of the Guarantied Obligations. 2E. Revival. Each Guarantor agrees that, if any payment made by the Company or any other Person is applied to the Guarantied Obligations and is at any time annulled, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any security are required to be returned by any Guaranty Beneficiary to the Company, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person, including, without limitation, any Guarantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, such Guarantor's liability hereunder (and any lien, security interest or other collateral securing such liability) shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made, or, if prior thereto this Guaranty shall have been canceled or surrendered (and if any lien, security interest or other collateral securing such Guarantor's liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), this Guaranty (and such lien, security interest or other collateral) shall be reinstated and returned in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of such Guarantor in respect of the amount of such payment (or any lien, security interest or other collateral securing such obligation). 2F.

A. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement made as of May 15, 2020 (as may be supplemented, amended, restated or consolidated from time to time, the “Oil-Dri Guaranty”) by certain Persons in favor of the Guaranty Beneficiaries (as defined in the Oil-Dri Guaranty), under which such Persons have guaranteed to the Guaranty Beneficiaries the due payment and performance by Oil-Dri Corporation of America, a Delaware corporation (“Oil-Dri”) of the Guarantied Obligations (as defined in the Oil-Dri Guaranty).

C. Section 4B of the Oil-Dri Guaranty provides that additional Persons may from time to time after the date of the Oil-Dri Guaranty become Guarantors under the Oil-Dri Guaranty by executing and delivering to the Guaranty Beneficiary a supplemental agreement to the Oil-Dri Guaranty in the form of this Joinder Agreement. For valuable consideration, each of the undersigned (each a “New Guarantor”) severally (and not jointly, or jointly and severally) agrees as follows: 1.

This Joinder Agreement may be executed in counterparts. Each executed counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Joinder Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Joinder Agreement by any New Guarantor by electronic or facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed copy of this Joinder Agreement by such New Guarantor. 5. This Joinder Agreement is a contract made under, and will for all purposes be governed by and interpreted and enforced according to, the internal laws of the State of Illinois excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle which might refer these matters to the laws of another jurisdiction. 6.
