(C) any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars (other than a Designated Loan) shall be made as an ABR Borrowing;
(D) any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in a Foreign Currency or a Designated Loan, shall be deemed to be, at the option of the applicable Borrower, (i) ineffective or (ii) made as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the LIBO Rate for which shall be equal to the COF Rate; and
(E) any Borrowing Request that requests a BA Equivalent Borrowing shall be deemed to be, at the option of the applicable Borrower, (i) ineffective or (ii) a Borrowing Request for a Borrowing at the COF Rate (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall preclude the applicable Borrower from requesting a Canadian Swingline Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement);
provided, that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.”
(v)Section 2.15(a) of the Credit Agreement is amended to (x) insert a reference to “, continuing, converting into” immediately after the reference to “making” appearing in the last paragraph thereof, (y) delete each reference to “(including, without limitation, pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other Agreed Currency)” appearing therein and (z) amend and restate clause (i) thereof in its entirety to read as follows:

“The Company hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty in respect of Specified Swap Obligations (provided, however, that the Company shall only be liable under this paragraph for the maximum amount of
such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this paragraph or otherwise under this Article X voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The Company intends that this paragraph constitute, and this paragraph shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.”
(hh)The Credit Agreement is amended to insert a reference to “or IRS Form W-8BEN-E” immediately after each reference to “IRS Form W-8BEN” appearing therein.
(ii)The Credit Agreement is amended to replace each reference therein to “K-Tron (Schweiz) GmbH” with a reference to “Coperion K-Tron (Schweiz) GmbH” in substitution thereof.
(jj)The Credit Agreement is amended to replace each reference therein to “RBS Citizens, N.A.” with a reference to “Citizens Bank, N.A.” in substitution thereof.

(mm)The Revolving Commitments and/or the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date of certain of the Lenders (the “Increasing Lenders”) are hereby increased or otherwise described as set forth on Annex A attached hereto. Accordingly, Schedule 2.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Annex A hereto.
(nn)The aggregate outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date are set forth on Annex A attached hereto. The outstanding Term Loans held by certain of the Lenders immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment are hereby deemed reallocated, sold, assigned and transferred to the applicable Lenders as individually set forth on Annex A attached hereto, and, accordingly, such applicable Lenders’ holding of the Term Loans, on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date and upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, are set forth on Annex A attached hereto.
(oo)Schedule 2.02 to the Credit Agreement is deleted in its entirety.
2. Amendments to Subsidiary Guaranty. Effective as of the date of satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below, the parties hereto agree that the Subsidiary Guaranty is hereby amended as follows:
(a)Section 3 of the Subsidiary Guaranty is amended to add the parenthetical “(provided, however, that the definition of “Guaranteed Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any Guarantor of any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor for purposes of determining any obligations of any Guarantor)” immediately following the phrase “all of the foregoing being referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Obligations”“ appearing therein.
(b)The Subsidiary Guaranty is amended to add the following as a new Section 26 thereto:
“SECTION 26. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Specified Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 26 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 26 or otherwise under this Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 26 shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 26 constitute, and this Section 26 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. As used herein, “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Specified Swap Obligation, each Guarantor that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant Guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes or would become effective with respect to such Specified Swap Obligation or such other Person as constitutes an ECP and can cause another Person to qualify as an ECP at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.”
3. Conditions of Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the conditions precedent that (A) the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by the Loan Parties, each of the Lenders (including the Increasing Lenders) and the Administrative Agent, (ii) such instruments and documents (including legal opinions) reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, (iii) an upfront fee in an amount equal to the amount previously disclosed to the Lenders and (iv) payment and/or reimbursement of the Administrative Agent’s and its affiliates’ fees and expenses (including, to the extent invoiced, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent) in connection with the Loan Documents and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have administered such reallocations, sales, assignments, transfers (or other relevant actions in respect) of each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the relevant Class of Credit Exposure under the Credit Agreement as are necessary in order that each relevant Class of Credit Exposure with respect to such Lender reflects such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Class of Credit Exposure under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. The Company hereby agrees to compensate each Lender for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurocurrency Loans and the reallocation described in the foregoing clause (B), in each case on the terms and in the manner set forth in Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party for itself hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(a)This Amendment and each of the Credit Agreement and the Subsidiary Guaranty (each as amended hereby), as applicable, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(b)As of the date hereof and giving effect to the terms of this Amendment, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrowers set forth in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material effects (provided that any representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect is true and correct in all respects) (except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date).
5. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement and the Subsidiary Guaranty.
(a)Upon the effectiveness hereof, each reference to the Credit Agreement and the Subsidiary Guaranty in the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement and the Subsidiary Guaranty, as the case may be, as amended hereby.
(b)Except as specifically amended above, each Loan Document and all other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
(c)Except as specifically provided above, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Loan Documents or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.
(d)This Amendment shall be a Loan Document.
6. Consent and Reaffirmation. Without in any way establishing a course of dealing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, each of the undersigned Loan Parties consents to the Amendment and reaffirms the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty and any other Loan Document executed by it and acknowledges and agrees that the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty and each and every such Loan Document executed by the undersigned in connection with the Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect and is hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed.
7. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
8. Headings. Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.
9. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
