Related to Consent to Revolving Credit Facility Amendment

• The Revolving Credit Facility On the terms and conditions set forth in the MLA and this Supplement, CoBank agrees to make loans to the Company during the period set forth below in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at any one time outstanding, the lesser of $25,000,000.00 (the “Commitment”), or the “Borrowing Base” (as calculated pursuant to the Borrowing Base Report attached hereto as Exhibit A). Within the limits of the Commitment, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow.

• Termination of Revolving Credit Facility The Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

• Extension of Revolving Credit Commitments The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Class (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) be identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are to be amended, except that: (i) the Maturity Date of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to a later date than the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, commitment fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments); and (iv) all borrowings under the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolver Tranche and the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Revolver Extension Series) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (II) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments); provided, further, that (A) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Revolver Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Revolver Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, (C) any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and the Liens securing the same) shall be permitted by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements (to the extent any Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect) and (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments incurred under this Section 2.16 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000.

• Revolving Credit Facility (a) The Revolving Credit Lenders grant to the Borrower a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to which, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth: (i) each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Ratable Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2; (ii) each Revolving Credit Lender may, in its sole discretion, make bids to make Competitive Bid Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3; and (iii) the Swing Line Lender agrees to make Swing Line Advances to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19. (b) The Revolving Credit Facility shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) In no event shall the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances (including Revolving Credit Ratable Advances, Competitive Bid Advances and Swing Line Advances) plus (ii) the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment. (ii) In no event shall the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Competitive Bid Advances exceed the Competitive Bid Sublimit. (iii) In no event shall the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line Advances exceed the Swing Line Commitment. (c) Subject to the terms hereof, the Revolving Credit Facility is available from the date hereof to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date and, upon the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, the Revolving Credit Commitments to lend hereunder shall expire. The Revolving Credit Commitment of a Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall expire on its Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date unless prior thereto such Revolving Credit Declining Lender elects, with the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to extend its Revolving Credit Commitment to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, which election and approval shall be evidenced by a written instrument in a form reasonably acceptable to and executed by such Revolving Credit Declining Lender, the Borrower, the Company and the Administrative Agent. Upon the execution and delivery of such written instrument, such Revolving Credit Lender shall cease to be a Revolving Credit Declining Lender. (d) Any outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and all other unpaid Revolving Credit Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date (except to the extent that, pursuant to Article IV, Facility Letters of Credit are permitted to have an expiration date later than the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date). All outstanding Revolving Credit Loans held by, and all other unpaid Revolving Credit Obligations payable to, a Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall be paid in full by the Borrower on its Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date.

• Revolving Credit Agreement The Agent shall have received this Agreement duly executed and delivered by each of the Banks and the Company and each of the Banks shall have received a fully executed Committed Note and a fully executed Bid Note, if such Notes are requested by any Bank pursuant to Section 12.9.

• Application to Revolving Credit Loans With respect to each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower may designate (i) the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made and (ii) the Revolving Loans to be prepaid, provided that (y) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans; and (z) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (y), no prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Borrower. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

• Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments (i) Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default and subject to the conditions set forth under clause (v) below, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (A) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (1) the Aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts after adjustments resulting from reductions thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(d) and (2) the then effective Borrowing Base, and (B) such increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. At the time of sending such notice, Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). (ii) Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Percentage Share of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment. (iii) The Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of the Lenders’ responses to the request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower may also invite additional Persons to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. (iv) If the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (such date, the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) notify Borrower of the final allocation of such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Increase Effective Date, and (ii) notify each Lender of its Revolving Credit Commitment as of the Increase Effective Date. (v) As a condition precedent to such increase, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Obligor dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Obligor (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Obligor approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article VII and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.03(b), the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.02 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.01, (B) no Default or Event of Default exists, and (C) no Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred. To the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Percentage Shares of the Lenders arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section, Borrower shall prepay Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date and/or Lenders shall make assignments pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (provided, that in each case, Borrower shall pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.05). (vi) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 4.05 or 12.04 to the contrary.

• Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments If the maturity date shall have occurred in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments at a time when another tranche or tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments is or are in effect with a longer maturity date, then on the earliest occurring maturity date all then outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swing Line Loans as a result of the occurrence of such maturity date); provided, however, that if on the occurrence of such earliest maturity date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Credit Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.03(l)), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swing Line Loans could be incurred pursuant the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such maturity date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swing Line Loans and the same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the relevant Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, and such Swing Line Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such earliest maturity date.

• Revolving Credit Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other provisions of this Note, Maker may borrow, repay and reborrow against this Note at any time unless and until a Default or Event of Default has occurred which the Payee has not declared to have been fully cured or waived, and (except as the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents may otherwise provide) there is no limit on the number of advances against this Note so long as the total unpaid principal of this Note at any time outstanding does not exceed the Payee's Lender Commitment. Interest on the amount of each advance against this Note shall be computed on the amount of the unpaid balance of that advance from the date it is made until the date it is repaid. If Maker's right (if any) to borrow against this Note shall ever lapse because of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, it shall not be reinstated (or construed from any course of conduct or otherwise to have been reinstated) unless and until the Payee shall declare in a signed writing that it has been cured or waived. The unpaid principal balance of this Note at any time shall be the total of all principal lent against this Note to Maker or for Maker's account less the sum of all principal payments and permitted prepayments on this Note received by the Payee. Absent manifest error, the Payee's computer records shall on any day conclusively evidence the unpaid balance of this Note and its advances and payments history posted up to that day. All loans and advances and all payments and permitted prepayments made on this Note may be (but are not required to be) endorsed by the Payee on the schedule attached hereto (which is hereby made a part hereof for all purposes) or otherwise recorded in the Payee's computer or manual records; provided, that the Payee's failure to make notation of (a) any principal advance or accrual of interest shall not cancel, limit or otherwise affect Maker's obligations or the Payee's rights with respect to that advance or accrual, or (b) any payment or permitted prepayment of principal or interest shall not cancel, limit or otherwise affect Maker's entitlement to credit for that payment as of the date of its receipt by the Payee.

• Effectiveness of Commitment Increase by Borrower An Assuming Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder as of such Commitment Increase Date and the Commitment of the respective Class of any Increasing Lender and such Assuming Lender shall be increased as of such Commitment Increase Date; provided that:
