(collectively, “Borrower”), and AMERICAN AGCREDIT, PCA (“Lender”) with respect to the following facts:

RECITALS

A.    Borrower and Lender entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 15, 2010 providing Borrower with certain financial accommodations (the “Original Agreement”).  The Original Agreement was amended by that First Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 7, 2011 (the “First Amendment”), by that Second Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated July 12, 2012 (the “Second Amendment”), and that Third Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated August 27, 2013 (the “Third Amendment”).  The Original Agreement, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Credit Agreement.”

B.    Borrower has requested that Lender amend the Credit Agreement to: (i) extend the date on which the commitment amount of the Revolving Loan is to be reduced from $7,000,000 to $5,000,000.00 from December 31, 2013 to February 14, 2014; (ii) waive the Consolidated EBITDA financial covenant requirement for the reporting period of December 31, 2013 only, with the covenant requirement to remain in full force and effect on March 31, 2014, and thereafter; (iii) amend the Consolidated EBITDA definition to include proceeds from a subscription rights offering to be conducted by the Borrower prior to February 14, 2014; and (iv) amend the definition of Tangible Net Worth to include all proceeds from the Borrower’s subscription rights offering as if they had been received on December 31, 2013.

C.    Lender is willing to grant forgoing request upon the terms and conditions set forth herein below.

NOW, THEREFORE, taking the forgoing Recitals into account, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.   Definitions; References; Interpretation.

(a)           Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each term used herein (including the Recitals hereof) which is defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement.

(b)           Each reference to “this Amendment”, “hereof”, “hereunder”, “herein” and “hereby” and each other similar reference contained in the Credit Agreement and each reference to “the Agreement” or “the Credit Agreement” and each other similar reference in the other Loan Documents, shall from and after December 26, 2013 refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

2.   Extension of Partial Payment Date.  The Partial Payment Date, as defined in the Third Amendment is hereby extended to February 14, 2014.  On or before the Partial Payment Date, Borrower shall make a partial payment of principal in such amount as shall be sufficient to reduce the outstanding principal of the Revolving Loan to $5,000,000.00.  Further, all interest and advances (if any) shall be paid in full such that, on the Partial Payment Date, the total of all amounts (principal, interest, advances, or otherwise) owing as and for the Revolving Loan shall be no more than $5,000,000.00 on the Partial Payment Date.  Failure to make such payment on the Partial Payment Date shall be a default on the Revolving Loan.  On the Maturity Date Borrower shall pay the entire unpaid principal sum together with all interest accrued thereon.

3.   Waiver.  Lender hereby waives compliance with Section 8.12(b) of the Credit Agreement for the quarter ending on December 31, 2013.  Except as waived herein the terms of Section 8.12(b) of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

4.   Amendments to Definitions.  The following definitions included in the Credit Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

“Consolidated EBITDA” shall mean, for any period, for Royal Hawaiian Orchards, L.P. and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, the sum (without duplication) of: (a) Consolidated Net Income; plus (b) the sum of (i) Federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes, (ii) interest expense (including the interest portion of any capitalized lease obligations), (iii) depletion, depreciation and amortization, (iv) extraordinary losses, and (v) net proceeds from Royal Hawaiian Orchards, L.P.’s subscription rights offering to be conducted prior to February 14, 2013; minus (c) the sum of (I) gains on asset sales, and (II) extraordinary gains.

7.   Continuing Validity.  Except as expressly modified herein, the terms of the original Agreement and all other related loan documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  Consent by the Lender to the changes described herein does not waive Lenders’ right to strict performance of the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement as amended.  Nothing in this Amendment will constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness.  It is the Lender’s intention to retain as liable parties all makers, guarantors, endorsers of the original Indebtedness, unless Lender expressly releases such party in writing.  The Term Loan (which includes the 2010 Term Loan) (or any other instrument not expressly noted as affected hereby) is not affected by these presents.
