AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE, SELL AND CONTRIBUTE

SECTION 2.1 Purchase, Sale and Contribution. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator hereby sells or contributes, as applicable, to the Company, and the Company hereby purchases or acquires from each Originator, as applicable, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under:

(a) each Receivable of such Originator that exists and is owing to such Originator as of the Closing Date and the Related Assets with respect to such Receivable;

(b) each Receivable of such Originator originated by such Originator from and after the Closing Date to and including the Termination Date and the Related Assets with respect to such Receivable;

(c) each Loan of such Originator that exists and is owing to such Originator under the Initial Designated Loan Agreements as of the Closing Date and the Related Assets with respect to such Loan;

(d) each Loan of such Originator that exists and is owing to such Originator under each Additional Designated Loan Agreement as of the applicable Addition Date and the Related Assets with respect to such Loan; and

(e) each Loan of such Originator acquired, originated or created by such Originator (A) under the Initial Designated Loan Agreements from and after the Closing Date to and including the Termination Date and the Related Assets with respect to such Loan, or (B) under the Additional Designated Loan Agreements from and after the applicable Addition Date to and including the Termination Date and the Related Assets with respect to such Loan;

provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, CHS shall not be permitted to sell or contribute any Loans to the Company.

SECTION 2.2 Timing of Purchases. All of the Assets sold or contributed pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) and (c) on the Closing Date are hereby sold or contributed, as applicable, to the Company on such date in accordance with the terms hereof. On and after the Closing Date until the Termination Date, (i) each Receivable sold or contributed to the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall be deemed to have been conveyed by an Originator to the Company immediately (and without further action by any Person) upon the creation or origination of such Receivable, (ii) each Loan sold or contributed to the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(d) shall be deemed to have been conveyed by an Originator to the Company on the applicable Addition Date and (iii) each Loan

sold or contributed to the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(e) shall be deemed to have been conveyed by an Originator to the Company on the date the applicable Originator delivers a purchase notice in the form of Schedule 1 (each, a “Purchase Notice”) including such Loans. The Related Assets with respect to each Asset shall be sold at the same time as such Asset, whether such Related Assets exist at such time or arise, are acquired or are originated thereafter.

SECTION 2.3 Purchase Price.

(a) The Purchase Price for the Purchase from an Originator of its Assets described in Sections 2.1(a) and (c) shall be payable in full by Company to such Originator on the Closing Date, and shall be paid to such Originator in the following manner:

(i) by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds made available to the Company under the Receivables Financing Agreement; provided that a portion of such funds shall be offset by amounts owed by CHS Capital to the Company on account of the issuance of equity having a total value of not less than the Required Capital Amount; and

(ii) the balance, by delivery of the proceeds of a subordinated revolving loan from such Originator to the Company (a “Subordinated Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, and (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering the Company’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount. Each Originator is hereby authorized by the Company to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto; provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of the Company thereunder.

(b) The Purchase Price for each Asset sold or contributed by an Originator pursuant to Sections 2.1(b), (d) or (e) shall be due and owing in full by the Company to the applicable Originator or its designee on the applicable Sale Date for such Asset (except that the Company may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by such Originator to the Company hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to such Originator in the following manner:

(i) by delivery to such Originator or its designee of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to the Company from its subsequent sale of an interest in all of the Assets to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Receivables Financing Agreement or other cash on hand;

(ii) by an increase in the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Loan of such Originator; provided that the making of any such Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.3(a)(ii); and

(iii) solely in the case of Receivables originated by CHS Capital, unless the Termination Date has occurred in accordance with this Agreement, by accepting a contribution to its capital in an amount equal to the remaining unpaid balance of such Purchase Price.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3(a)(ii), each Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by the Company in accordance with this Section 2.3 on or prior to the Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans owing to each Originator shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of its Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from funds which the Company is not required under the Receivables Financing Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Purchasers.

(c) From and after the Termination Date, (i) each Originator shall not be obligated to (but may, at its option) sell its Assets to the Company, or (ii) CHS Capital shall not be obligated to (but may, at its option) contribute its Assets to the Company’s capital pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iii).

SECTION 2.4 Addition Date. Prior to the Termination Date, each Originator may, but shall not be obligated to, designate from time to time in its discretion additional loan facilities to be included as Designated Loan Agreements as of an applicable date (the “Addition Date” with respect to such Designated Loan Agreements) by providing written notice, on or before the Business Day prior to the applicable Addition Date, to the Company that the applicable Additional Designated Loan Agreements will be included as Designated Loan Agreements.

SECTION 2.5 Deliveries. Each Originator (a) shall deliver to the Custodian within 40 days following the Closing Date or within five (5) Business Days after the applicable Addition Date, as applicable, the Custodian File with respect to each Loan transferred by it to the Company on such date (provided that if any Loan transferred by an Originator to the Company does not contain an Obligor Note, then the applicable Originator may electronically deliver the Custodian File with respect to such Loan) and (b) has recorded and filed and, in the case of Additional Designated Loan Agreements, shall, prior to the applicable Addition Date, record and file, at its own expense, any financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) naming such Originator as transferor and the Company as purchaser covering the Loans and the Related Assets thereof then existing and thereafter created or acquired meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are reasonably requested by the Company or necessary to perfect the transfer and assignment of the Loans and Related Assets from such Originator to the Company. The Company shall provide the Custodian with an updated copy of Annex 3 hereto concurrently with any update thereto hereunder. Each Originator has delivered a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to the Company and has taken, or shall take, at the Company’s expense, all other steps as are necessary under applicable law to perfect such transfers and assignments and has delivered, or shall deliver, confirmation of such steps as are reasonably requested by the Company or the Required Purchasers.

SECTION 2.6 No Recourse or Assumption of Obligations. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the purchase and sale or contribution, as applicable, of Pool Assets and Related Assets under this Agreement shall be without recourse to any Originator. Each Originator and the Company intend the transactions hereunder to constitute absolute and irrevocable true sales or valid contributions of Pool Assets and the Related Assets by such Originator to the Company, providing the Company with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Pool Assets and Related Assets (such that the Pool Assets and the Related Assets would not be property of such Originator’s estate in the event of such Originator’s bankruptcy). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no payments by any Originator shall be made to the Company to the extent that they constitute recourse with respect to a Pool Asset and the Related Assets by reason of the financial or credit condition of the related Account Debtor or Obligor (including the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the related Account Debtor or Obligor); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall not relieve any Originator from making any payments pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Deemed Collections.

None of the Company, any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation or liability under any Pool Assets or Related Assets (including any commitment to fund loans under any Loan Documents), nor shall the Company, any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent or the Administrative Agent have any obligation or liability to any Account Debtor, Obligor or other customer or client of any Originator (including any commitment to fund loans under any Loan Documents or any other obligation to perform any of the obligations of an Originator under any Pool Assets or Related Assets).

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

SECTION 3.1 Deemed Collections. If, on any day, the Unpaid Balance of a Pool Receivable is reduced (but not cancelled) as a result of any Dilution, the related Originator shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction. If, on any day, a Pool Receivable is canceled (or reduced to zero) as a result of any Dilution, the related Originator shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of the Unpaid Balance (as determined immediately prior to such Dilution) of such Pool Receivable. Any amount deemed to have been received under this Section 3.1 shall constitute a “Deemed Collection”. In the event of any such Deemed Collection, the related Originator shall, if (a) the Liquidation Period has commenced, or (b) the aggregate Total Investment at such time exceeds the sum of the Loan Investment Base and Receivables Investment Base at such time after giving effect to such Deemed Collection, deposit an amount equal to such Deemed Collection into the Concentration Account by no later than the fourth (4^th) Business Day after such Originator obtains knowledge or notice thereof (or during the Liquidation Period, within two (2) Business Days from the event giving rise to such Deemed Collection).

SECTION 3.2 Actions Evidencing Purchases.

(a) Each Originator hereby authorizes the Company, the Administrative Agent or their respective designees to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Pool Assets and the Related Assets now existing or hereafter arising in the name of such Originator.

(b) Each Originator shall authorize and deliver and file or cause to be filed appropriate continuation statements, not earlier than six months and not later than three months prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of filing of the financing statements filed in connection with this Agreement or any other financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 3.3 Repurchase Events. If any of the following events (each, a “Sale Agreement Event of Repurchase”) occurs and is continuing with respect to a Pool Asset:

(a) any representation or warranty by an Originator hereunder with respect to such Pool Asset is incorrect either (i) in any material respect or (ii) in any manner that adversely affects the value or collectability of such Pool Asset, in each case, when made or deemed made;

(b) an Originator fails to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement with respect to such Pool Assets set forth in any Transaction Document or any related Receivable Documentation or Loan Documents, as applicable, on its part to be performed or observed and such failure shall or could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the collectability of such Pool Asset; or

(c) either (i) an Originator instructs the related Account Debtor or Obligor to pay any amount with respect to such Pool Asset to an account other than a Lockbox, an Originator Specified Account, an Originator Collection Account, a Seller Collection Account or the Concentration Account or (ii) the related Account Debtor or Obligor refuses to make any payment to a Lockbox, an Originator Specified Account, an Originator Collection Account, a Seller Collection Account or the Concentration Account (unless to the extent such refusal to pay is due to the financial or credit condition of such Account Debtor or Obligor (including the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to such Account Debtor or Obligor)),

then, the related Originator shall immediately deliver notice thereof to the Company and the Administrative Agent and, at the time, in the manner and otherwise as hereinafter set forth, repurchase such Pool Asset; provided, however, that if an Event of Repurchase shall have occurred under the Receivables Financing Agreement with respect to such Pool Asset, then such event shall also constitute a Sale Agreement Event of Repurchase for purposes of this Agreement. The repurchase price for a Pool Asset shall be the amount equal to the Unpaid Balance of such Pool Asset at such time and shall be paid to the Concentration Account in immediately available funds by no later than the second (2^nd) Business Day following demand therefor by the Company or the Administrative Agent. Upon the payment in full of the repurchase price with respect to a Pool

Asset, such Pool Asset shall hereby be, and be deemed to be, repurchased by the related Originator from the Company without recourse to or warranty by the Company, the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser but free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or other Adverse Claim created by or through the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser.

SUBORDINATED NOTE

______________, 201_

Note. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Cofina Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of [ORIGINATOR NAME], a(n) __________ ***[corporation] [limited liability company] *** (“Originator”), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on or before the date following the Termination Date which is one year and one day after the date on which (i) the Unpaid Balance of all Assets sold by Originator under the “Sale Agreement” referred to below has been reduced to zero and (ii) Originator has paid to the Company all indemnities, adjustments and other amounts which may be owed thereunder in connection with the Purchase thereunder (the “Collection Date”), the aggregate unpaid principal sum outstanding of all “Subordinated Loans” made from time to time by Originator to the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of that certain Sale and Contribution Agreement dated as of July 22, 2016 among Originator and certain of its affiliates, as originators, and the Company (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sale Agreement”). Reference to Section 2.3 of the Sale Agreement is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby have been and will be made. All terms which are capitalized and used herein and which are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Agreement.

(I) Interest. The Company further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at a rate equal to the 1-month LIBOR rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the first Business Day of each month (or portion thereof) during the term of this Subordinated Note, computed for actual days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and changing on the first business day of each month hereafter (“LIBOR”); provided, however, that if the Company shall default in the payment of any principal hereof, the Company promises to pay, on demand, interest at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.50 % per annum on any such unpaid amounts, from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment. Interest shall be payable on the first Business Day of each month in arrears; provided, however, that the Company may elect on the date any interest payment is due hereunder to defer such payment and upon such election the amount of interest due but unpaid on such date shall constitute principal under this Subordinated Note. The outstanding principal of any loan made under this Subordinated Note shall be due and payable on the Collection Date and may be repaid or prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

(II) Principal Payments. Originator is authorized and directed by the Company to enter on the grid attached hereto, or, at its option, in its books and records, the date and amount of each loan made by it which is evidenced by this Subordinated Note and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Company, and absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered; provided that neither the failure

Schedule 2-1

of Originator to make any such entry or any error therein shall expand, limit or affect the obligations of the Company hereunder.

(III) Subordination. Originator shall have the right to receive, and the Company shall make, any and all payments and prepayments relating to the loans made under this Subordinated Note so long as after giving effect to any such payment or prepayment, the aggregate Unpaid Balance of Assets owned by the Company at such time exceeds the sum of (a) the Total Investment, Yield and all other amounts owed to the Affected Parties at such time under the Receivables Financing Agreement, plus (b) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all loans made under this Subordinated Note. Originator hereby agrees that at any time during which the conditions set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall not be satisfied, Originator shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment of any indebtedness or obligation of the Company owing to the Administrative Agent or any other Affected Party under that certain Receivables Financing Agreement dated as of July 22, 2016 by and among the Company, CHS Inc., as initial Servicer (the “Servicer”), various Purchaser Groups from time to time party thereto, and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch, as the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Financing Agreement”). The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers and/or any of their respective assignees (collectively, the “Senior Claimants”) under the Receivables Financing Agreement. Until the date on which the “Total Investment” outstanding under the Receivables Financing Agreement has been repaid in full and all other obligations of the Company and/or the Servicer thereunder and under the “Fee Letter” referenced therein (all such obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been asserted), collectively, the “Senior Claim”) have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, Originator shall not institute against the Company any proceeding of the type described in Section 8.16 of the Sale Agreement unless and until the Collection Date has occurred. Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by Originator in violation of this Section III, Originator agrees that such payment shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the property of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Senior Claimants.

(IV) Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of any proceeding of the type described in Section 8.16 of the Sale Agreement involving the Company as debtor, then and in any such event the Senior Claimants shall receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of the Total Investment and the Senior Claim (including “Yield” as defined and as accruing under the Receivables Financing Agreement after the commencement of any such proceeding, whether or not any or all of such Yield is an allowable claim in any such proceeding) before Originator is entitled to receive payment on account of this Subordinated Note, and to that end, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in any applicable insolvency proceeding, which would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness under this Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise)

Schedule 2-2

directly to the Administrative Agent for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Claim until such Senior Claim shall have been paid in full and satisfied.

(V) Amendments. This Subordinated Note shall not be amended or modified except in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Sale Agreement. The terms of this Subordinated Note may not be amended or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Purchasers.

(VI) GOVERNING LAW.

WHEREVER POSSIBLE EACH PROVISION OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH MANNER AS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE PROHIBITED BY OR INVALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY, WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINDER OF SUCH PROVISION OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE.

(VII) Waivers. All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor. Originator additionally expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by any Senior Claimant of the subordination and other provisions of this Subordinated Note and expressly waives reliance by any Senior Claimant upon the subordination and other provisions herein provided.
