Unless otherwise specified, references to "United Natural Foods," "UNFI," "we," "us," "our" or "the Company" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report" or "Report") mean United Natural Foods, Inc. and all entities included in our consolidated financial statements. See the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Report for information regarding our financial performance. Overview We are a Delaware corporation based in Providence, Rhode Island, and we conduct business through our various wholly owned subsidiaries. We are a leading distributor based on sales of natural, organic and specialty foods and non-food products in the United States and Canada. We believe that our thirty-three distribution centers, representing approximately 8.8 million square feet of warehouse space, provide us with the largest capacity of any North American-based distributor principally focused on the natural, organic and specialty products industry. The Company has two principal operating divisions: the wholesale division which is comprised of several business units aggregated under the wholesale segment, which is the Company's only reportable segment; and the manufacturing and branded products division. Since the formation of our predecessor in 1976, we have grown our business both organically and through acquisitions which have expanded our distribution network, product selection and customer base. Acquisitions In July 2014, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Tony's Fine Foods ("Tony's"), through our wholly-owned subsidiary UNFI West, Inc. ("UNFI West"). With the completion of the transaction, Tony's became a wholly-owned subsidiary and continues to operate as Tony's Fine Foods. Tony's is headquartered in West Sacramento, California and is a leading distributor of perishable food products, including a wide array of specialty protein, cheese, deli, food service and bakery goods to retail and specialty grocers, food service customers and other distribution companies principally located throughout the Western United States, as well as Alaska and Hawaii. During fiscal 2015, we began shipping customers both center of the store products and an enhanced selection of fresh, perishable products typically located in the perimeter of the store. Our customers utilized both UNFI’s broadline and Tony's perishable offerings, including grocery, refrigerated, protein, specialty cheese and prepared foods. Our customers seek a full spectrum of offerings and we believe that there is significant value in UNFI's position as a leading provider of logistics, distribution and category management for both center store and perimeter products. In March 2016, the Company acquired certain assets of Global Organic/Specialty Source, Inc. and related affiliates (collectively "Global Organic") through our wholly owned subsidiary Albert's Organics, Inc. ("Albert's"), in a cash transaction for approximately $20.6 million . Global Organic is a distributor of organic fruits, vegetables, juices, milk, eggs, nuts, and coffee located in Sarasota, Florida serving customer locations across the Southeastern United States. Global Organic's operations have been fully integrated into the existing Albert's business in the Southeastern United States. In March 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Nor-Cal Produce, Inc. ("Nor-Cal") and an affiliated entity as well as certain real estate, in a cash transaction for approximately $67.8 million . Nor-Cal is a distributor of conventional and organic produce and other fresh products primarily to independent retailers in Northern California, with primary operations located in West Sacramento, California. Our acquisition of Nor-Cal has aided in our efforts to expand our fresh offering, particularly with conventional produce. Nor-Cal's operations have been combined with the existing Albert's business. In May 2016, the Company acquired all outstanding equity securities of Haddon House Food Products Inc. ("Haddon") and certain affiliated entities and real estate for total cash consideration of approximately $217.5 million . Haddon is a distributor and merchandiser of natural and organic and gourmet ethnic products throughout the Eastern United States. Haddon has a diverse, multi-channel customer base including supermarkets, gourmet food stores and independent retailers. Our acquisition of Haddon has expanded our gourmet and ethnic product and service offering which we expect to play an important role in our ongoing strategy to build out these product categories. Haddon's operations have been combined with the Company's existing broadline natural, organic and specialty distribution business in the United States. In August 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Gourmet Guru Inc. ("Gourmet Guru") in a cash transaction for approximately $10.0 million. Gourmet Guru is a distributor and merchandiser of fresh and organic food focusing on new and emerging brands. We believe that our acquisition of Gourmet Guru enhances our strength in finding and cultivating 1 Table of Contents emerging fresh and organic brands and further expands our presence in key urban markets. Gourmet Guru's operations have been combined with the Company's existing broadline natural, organic and specialty distribution business in the United States. The ability to distribute specialty food items (including ethnic, kosher and gourmet products) has accelerated our expansion into a number of high-growth business markets and allowed us to establish immediate market share in the fast-growing specialty foods market. We have now integrated specialty food products and natural and organic specialty non-food items into all of our broadline distribution centers across the United States and Canada. Due to our expansion into specialty foods, over the past several fiscal years we have been awarded new business with a number of supermarkets. We believe our acquisition of Haddon has expanded our capabilities in the specialty category and we have expanded our offerings of specialty products to include those products distributed by Haddon that we did not previously distribute to our customers. We believe that the distribution of these products enhanced our supermarket business channel and that our complementary product lines continue to present opportunities for cross-selling. On July 25, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity securities of SUPERVALU INC. (“SUPERVALU”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.9 billion (the "Merger"), including the assumption of outstanding debt and liabilities. The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies and is subject to antitrust approvals, SUPERVALU shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2018. The proposed acquisition of SUPERVALU is expected to expand the Company’s customer base and exposure across channels, add high-growth perimeter categories such as meat and produce to the Company’s natural and organic products, provide the Company a wider geographic reach and greater scale, and increase efficiencies. Our Operating Structure Our operations are generally comprised of two principal operating divisions. These operating divisions are: • our wholesale division , which includes: ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ our broadline natural, organic and specialty distribution business in the United States; Tony's, which distributes a wide array of specialty protein, cheese, deli, foodservice and bakery goods, principally throughout the Western United States; Albert's, which distributes organically grown produce and non-produce perishable items within the United States, and includes the operations of Nor-Cal, a distributor of organic and conventional produce and non-produce perishable items principally in Northern California; UNFI Canada, Inc. ("UNFI Canada"), which is our natural, organic and specialty distribution business in Canada; and Select Nutrition, which distributes vitamins, minerals and supplements; and • our manufacturing and branded products division , consisting of: ◦ Woodstock Farms Manufacturing, which specializes in importing, roasting, packaging and the distribution of nuts, dried fruit, seeds, trail mixes, granola, natural and organic snack items and confections; and our Blue Marble Brands branded product lines. ◦ We disposed of our retail business, Earth Origins Market ("Earth Origins"), during fiscal 2018. Beginning in fiscal 2019, the Select Nutrition business will be combined with our broadline operations. Wholesale Division In August 2016, we launched an initiative to reorganize our sales structure in the United States. This new structure is regional and our broadline distribution business is now organized into three sales regions— our Atlantic Region, Central Region and Pacific Region. Each region has a president responsible for all our products and services within the territory, including fresh, grocery, wellness, e-commerce, food services, and ethnic gourmet. Territory managers in these regions now sell across our complete lines of products. This change brings us to our customers more frequently with all of our service offerings and we anticipate identifying and taking advantage of sales opportunities that result from our customers having a single point of contact for all of our products and services. As of our 2018 fiscal year end, our Atlantic Region operated ten distribution centers, our Central Region operated six distribution centers, and our Pacific Region operated twelve distribution centers. Beginning in fiscal 2019, the Company realigned two of its distributions centers previously included in the Atlantic Region to the Pacific Region. Certain of our distribution centers are shared by multiple operations within our wholesale division. 2 Table of Contents Tony's operates out of four distribution centers located in California and Washington. In addition to the four Tony's facilities, the Company distributes Tony's perishable products from certain of its other broadline distribution centers, including our Aurora, Colorado facility. Albert's operates out of four distribution centers located throughout the United States. UNFI Canada distributes natural, organic and specialty products in all of our product categories to all of our customers in Canada. As of our 2018 fiscal year end, UNFI Canada operated four distribution centers. Through Select Nutrition, we distribute more than 14,000 health and beauty aids, vitamins, minerals and supplements from distribution centers in Pennsylvania and California. Manufacturing and Branded Products Division Our subsidiary doing business as Woodstock Farms Manufacturing specializes in importing, roasting, packaging and the distribution of nuts, dried fruit, seeds, trail mixes, granola, natural and organic snack items and confections for our customers and in the Company's branded products. Woodstock Farms Manufacturing sells items manufactured in bulk and through private label packaging arrangements with large health food, supermarket and convenience store chains and independent retailers. We operate an organic (United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") and Quality Assurance International ("QAI")) and kosher (Circle K) certified packaging, roasting, and processing facility in New Jersey that is SQF (Safety Quality Food) level 2 certified. Our Blue Marble Brands portfolio is a collection of 17 organic, non-GMO, clean and specialty food brands representing more than 750 unique retail and food service products sourced from over 30 countries around the globe. Blue Marble Brands defines clean ingredients to be minimally processed foods, using only essential ingredients that contain no artificial colors or flavors. Our Blue Marble Brands products are sold through our wholesale division, third-party distributors and directly to retailers. Our Field Day® brand is primarily sold to customers in our independent channel and is meant to serve as a private label brand for retailers to allow them to compete with supermarket and supernatural chains which often have their own private label store brands. To maintain our market position and improve our operating efficiencies, we seek to continually: • • • • • • • • • expand our marketing and customer service programs across regions; expand our national purchasing opportunities; offer a broader product selection than our competitors; offer operational excellence with high service levels and a higher percentage of on-time deliveries than our competitors; centralize general and administrative functions to reduce expenses; consolidate systems applications among physical locations and regions; increase our investment in people, facilities, equipment and technology; integrate administrative and accounting functions; and reduce the geographic overlap between regions. Our continued growth has allowed us to expand our existing facilities and open new facilities in an effort to achieve increasing operating efficiencies. Our Customers We serve more than 40,000 customer locations primarily located across the United States and Canada which we classify into four channels: • • • • supernatural , which consists of chain accounts that are national in scope and carry greater than 90% natural products, and at this time currently consists solely of Whole Foods Market; supermarkets , which include accounts that also carry conventional products, and at this time currently include chain accounts, supermarket independents, and gourmet and ethnic specialty stores; independents , which include single store and chain accounts (excluding supernatural, as defined above), which carry more than 90% natural products and buying clubs of consumer groups joined to buy products; and other , which includes foodservice, e-commerce and international customers outside of Canada, as well as sales to Amazon.com, Inc. We maintain long-standing customer relationships with customers in our supernatural, supermarket and independent channels. The following were included among our wholesale customers for fiscal 2018 : 3 Table of Contents • Whole Foods Market, the largest supernatural chain in the United States and Canada; and • Other customers, including Natural Grocers, Wegmans, Kroger, Earth Fare, Sprouts Farmers Market, Giant-Carlisle, Stop & Shop, Giant-Landover, Giant Eagle, Hannaford, Harris Teeter, The Fresh Market, Market Basket, Shop-Rite, Publix, Raley's, Lucky's, and Loblaws. We have been the primary distributor to Whole Foods Market for more than twenty years. Under the terms of our agreement with Whole Foods Market, we serve as the primary distributor to Whole Foods Market in all of its regions in the United States. Our agreement with Whole Foods Market expires on September 28, 2025. Whole Foods M arket is our only customer that represented more than 10% of total net sales in fiscal 2018 , and accounted for approximately 37% of our net sales. During fiscal 2017, our net sales by channel were adjusted to reflect changes in the classification of customer types from acquisitions we consummated in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2016 and the first quarter of fiscal 2017. There was no financial statement impact as a result of revising the classification of customer types. The following table lists the percentage of net sales by customer type for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 : Customer Type Supernatural Supermarkets Independents Other Percentage of Net Sales 2018 2017 2016 37% 28% 25% 10% 33% 30% 26% 11% 35% 27% 27% 11% We distribute natural, organic and specialty foods and non-food products to customers located in the United States and Canada, as well as to customers located in other foreign countries. Our total international net sales, including those by UNFI Canada, represented approximately three percent of our net sales in fiscal 2018 and four percent in both fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 . We believe that our sales outside the United States will expand as we seek to continue to grow our Canadian operations and our foodservice and e-commerce businesses, both of which include customers based outside of the United States. Our Marketing Services We offer a variety of marketing services designed to increase sales for our customers and suppliers, including consumer and trade marketing programs, as well as programs to support suppliers in understanding our markets. Trade and consumer marketing programs are supplier-sponsored programs that cater to a broad range of retail formats. These programs are designed to educate consumers, profile suppliers and increase sales for retailers, many of which do not have the resources necessary to conduct such marketing programs independently. Consumer Marketing Programs • Monthly, region-specific, consumer circular programs, with the participating retailers’ imprint featuring products sold by the retailer to its customers. The monthly circular programs are structured to pass through the benefit of our negotiated discounts and advertising allowances to the retailer, and also provide retailers with a physical flyer and shelf tags corresponding to each month's promotions. We also offer a web-based tool which retailers can use to produce highly customized circulars and other marketing materials for their stores called the Customized Marketing Program. Truck advertising program that allows our suppliers to purchase advertising space on the sides of our hundreds of trailers traveling throughout the United States and Canada, increasing brand exposure to consumers. • Trade Marketing Programs • • New item introduction programs showcase a supplier's new items to retailers through trial and discounts. Customer Portal Advertising that allows our suppliers to advertise directly to retailers using the portal that many retailers use to order product and/or gather product information. Foodservice options designed to support accounts in that category. • • Monthly Specials Catalogs that highlight promotions and new product introductions. • Specialized catalogs for holiday and seasonal products. Supplier Marketing Programs • ClearVue®, an information sharing program offered to a select group of suppliers designed to improve the transparency of information and drive efficiency within the supply chain. With the availability of in-depth data and tailored reporting tools, participants are able to reduce inventory balances while improving service levels. 4   Table of Contents • • • Supply Chain by ClearVue®, an information sharing program designed to provide heightened transparency to suppliers through demand planning, forecasting and procurement insights. This program offers weekly and monthly reporting enabling suppliers to identify areas of sales growth while pinpointing specific opportunities for achieving greater profits. Supplier-In-Site (SIS), an information-sharing website that helps our suppliers better understand the independents channel in order to generate mutually beneficial incremental sales in an efficient manner. Growth incentive programs, supplier-focused high-level sales and marketing support for selected brands, which foster our partnership by building incremental, mutually profitable sales for suppliers and us. Periodically, we conduct focus group sessions with certain key retailers and suppliers to ascertain their needs and allow us to better service them. We also provide our customers with: • • • • • • • trends reports in the natural and organic industry; product data information such as best seller lists, store usage reports and catalogs; assistance with store layout designs; new store design and equipment procurement; planogramming, shelf and category management support; in-store signage and promotional materials assistance with planning and setting up product displays; shelf tags for products; and a robust customer portal with product information, search and ordering capabilities, reports and publications. Our Products Our extensive selection of natural, organic and specialty foods and non-food products enables us to provide a primary source of supply to a diverse base of customers whose product needs vary significantly. We offer more than 110,000 natural, organic and specialty foods and non-food products, consisting of national, regional and private label brands grouped into six product categories: grocery and general merchandise, produce, perishables and frozen foods, nutritional supplements and sports nutrition, bulk and foodservice products and personal care items. Our branded product lines address certain needs of our customers, including providing a lower-cost label known as Field Day®. We maintain a comprehensive quality assurance program. All of the products we sell that are represented as "organic" are required to be certified as such by an independent third-party agency. We maintain current certification affidavits on most organic commodities and produce in order to verify the authenticity of the product. Most potential suppliers of organic products are required to provide such third-party certifications to us before they are approved as suppliers. Organic Certification Our “Certified Organic Distributor” certification covers all of our broadline distribution centers in the United States, except for facilities acquired in connection with the acquisitions of Tony’s, Haddon, and Nor-Cal. Although not designated as a “Certified Organic Distributor” by QAI, the three Tony’s California locations are certified as Organic by the State of California Department of Public Health Food and Drug Branch, and Nor-Cal is currently registered with the California Department of Food and Agriculture Organic Program as an organic handler. In addition, our Canadian distribution centers in British Columbia and Ontario both hold one of the following organic distributor certifications: QAI, EcoCert Canada or ProCert Canada. Working Capital Normal operating fluctuations in working capital balances can result in changes to cash flow from operations presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows that are not necessarily indicative of long-term operating trends. Our working capital needs are generally greater during the months leading up to high sales periods, such as the build up in inventory during the time period leading to the calendar year-end holidays. We typically finance these working capital needs with funds provided by operating activities and available credit through our amended and restated revolving credit facility (the “Existing ABL Facility”) pursuant to our Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2016, by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and the other borrowers, agents and lenders party thereto (the “Existing ABL Loan Agreement”). Our Suppliers We purchase our products from more than 9,000 suppliers. The majority of our suppliers are based in the United States and Canada, but we also source products from suppliers throughout Europe, Asia, Central America, South America, Africa and Australia. We believe suppliers of natural and organic products seek to distribute their products through us because we provide access to a large customer base across the United States and Canada, distribute the majority of the suppliers' products and offer a wide variety of marketing programs to our customers to help sell the suppliers' products. Substantially all product categories that we distribute are available from a number of suppliers and, therefore, we are not dependent on any single source of supply for any product 5 Table of Contents category. In addition, although we have exclusive distribution arrangements and support programs with several suppliers, none of our suppliers account for more than 5% of our total purchases in fiscal 2018 . We have positioned ourselves as one of the largest purchasers of organically grown bulk products in the natural and organic products industry by centralizing our purchase of nuts, seeds, grains, flours and dried foods. As a result, we are able to negotiate purchases from suppliers on the basis of volume and other considerations that may include discounted pricing or prompt payment discounts. Furthermore, some of our purchase arrangements include the right of return to the supplier with respect to products that we do not sell in a certain period of time. Each region is responsible for placing its own orders and can select the products that it believes will most appeal to its customers, although each region is able to participate in our company-wide purchasing programs. Our outstanding commitments for the purchase of inventory were approximately $15.9 million as of July 28, 2018 . Our Distribution System The sites for our distribution centers are chosen to provide direct access to our regional markets. This proximity allows us to reduce our transportation costs relative to those of our competitors that seek to service these customers from locations that are often several hundred miles away. We believe that we incur lower inbound freight expense than our regional competitors because our scale allows us to buy full and partial truckloads of products. Products are delivered to our distribution centers primarily by our fleet of leased trucks, contract carriers and the suppliers themselves. When financially advantageous, we pick up product from suppliers or satellite staging facilities and return it to our distribution centers using our own trucks. Additionally, we generally can redistribute overstocks and inventory imbalances between our distribution centers if needed, which helps to reduce out of stocks and to sell perishable products prior to their expiration date. The majority of our trucks are leased from a variety of national banks and are maintained by third party national leasing companies such as Ryder Truck Leasing and Penske Truck Leasing, which in some cases maintain facilities on our premises for the maintenance and service of these vehicles as well as facilities where we run our own maintenance shops. We ship certain orders for supplements or for items that are destined for areas outside of regular delivery routes through United States Postal Service, the United Parcel Service and other independent carriers. Deliveries to areas outside the continental United States and Canada are typically shipped by ocean-going containers on a weekly basis. Our Focus on Technology We have made significant investments in distribution, financial, information and warehouse management systems. We continually evaluate and upgrade our management information systems at our regional operations in an effort to make the systems more efficient, cost-effective and responsive to customer needs. These systems include functionality in radio frequency inventory control, pick-to-voice systems, pick-to-light systems, computer-assisted order processing and slot locater/retrieval assignment systems. At most of our receiving docks, warehouse associates attach computer-generated, preprinted locater tags to inbound products. These tags contain the expiration date, locations, quantity, lot number and other information about the products in bar code format. Customer returns are processed by scanning the UPC bar codes. We also employ a management information system that enables us to lower our inbound transportation costs by making optimum use of our own fleet of trucks or by consolidating deliveries into full truckloads. Orders from multiple suppliers and multiple distribution centers are consolidated into single truckloads for efficient use of available vehicle capacity. In addition, we utilize route efficiency software that assists us in developing the most efficient routes for our outbound trucks. As part of our “one company” approach, we are in the process of rolling out a national warehouse management and procurement system to convert our existing facilities into a single warehouse management and supply chain platform ("WMS"). WMS supports our effort to integrate and nationalize processes across the organization and we have successfully implemented the WMS system at fifteen of our facilities. In light of the proposed acquisition of SUPERVALU, we are reevaluating our warehouse management system strategy. However, we continue to be focused on the automation of our new or expanded distribution centers that are at different stages of construction. Intellectual Property We do not own or have the right to use any patent, trademark, trade name, license, franchise, or concession, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Competition Our largest competition comes from direct distribution, whereby a customer reaches a product volume level that justifies distribution directly from the manufacturer in order to obtain a lower price. Our major wholesale distribution competitor in both the United States and Canada is KeHE Distributors, LLC ("Kehe"). In addition to its natural and organic products, Kehe distributes specialty food products and markets its own private label program. We also compete in the United States and Canada with numerous smaller regional and local distributors of natural, organic, ethnic, kosher, gourmet and other specialty foods that focus on niche or regional markets, and with national, regional and local distributors of conventional groceries who have significantly expanded their natural 6 Table of Contents and organic product offerings in recent years and companies that distribute to their own retail facilities. Our customers also compete with online retailers and distributors of natural and organic products that seek to sell products directly to customers. We believe that distributors in the natural and specialty products industries primarily compete on distribution service levels, product quality, depth of inventory selection, price and quality of customer service. We believe that we currently compete effectively with respect to each of these factors. Government Regulation Our operations and many of the products that we distribute in the United States are subject to regulation by state and local health departments, the USDA and the United States Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"), which generally impose standards for product quality and sanitation and are responsible for the administration of bioterrorism legislation. In the United States, our facilities generally are inspected at least once annually by state or federal authorities. For certain product lines, we are also subject to the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, the Packers and Stockyard Act and regulations promulgated by the USDA to interpret and implement these statutory provisions. The USDA imposes standards for product safety, quality and sanitation through the federal meat and poultry inspection program. The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act ("FSMA"), represents a significant expansion of food safety requirements and FDA food safety authorities and, among other things, requires that the FDA impose comprehensive, prevention-based controls across the food supply chain, further regulates food products imported into the United States, and provides the FDA with mandatory recall authority. The FSMA requires the FDA to undertake numerous rulemakings and to issue numerous guidance documents, as well as reports, plans, standards, notices, and other tasks. The Surface Transportation Board and the Federal Highway Administration regulate our trucking operations. In addition, interstate motor carrier operations are subject to safety requirements prescribed by the United States Department of Transportation and other relevant federal and state agencies. Such matters as weight and dimension of equipment are also subject to federal and state regulations. Many of our facilities in the U.S. and in Canada are subject to various environmental protection statutes and regulations, including those relating to the use of water resources and the discharge of wastewater. Further, many of our distribution facilities have ammonia-based refrigeration systems and tanks for the storage of diesel fuel, hydrogen fuel and other petroleum products which are subject to laws regulating such systems and storage tanks. Moreover, in some of our facilities we, or third parties with whom we contract, perform vehicle maintenance. Our policy is to comply with all applicable environmental and safety legal requirements. We are subject to other federal, state, provincial and local provisions relating to the protection of the environment or the discharge of materials; however, these provisions do not materially impact the use or operation of our facilities. Employees As of July 28, 2018 , we had approximately 10,000 full and part-time employees, 725 of whom (approximately 7.3% ) are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The following are the facilities which have collective bargaining agreements and the respective expiration dates of those agreements: Moreno Valley, California (March 2019), Edison, New Jersey (March 2019), Dayville, Connecticut (July 2019), West Sacramento, California (May 2020), Hudson Valley, New York (July 2020), Auburn, Washington (February 2021), Iowa City, Iowa (July 2021) and Concord, Ontario (March 2022). We have in the past been the focus of union-organizing efforts, and we believe it is likely that we will be the focus of similar efforts in the future. In January 2018, the National Labor Relations Board certified the election results of our driver employees in Gilroy, California to be represented by the Teamsters union. We are in the process of negotiating a collective bargaining agreement with these employees. Seasonality Generally, we do not experience any material seasonality. However, our sales and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to factors such as changes in our operating expenses, management's ability to execute our operating and growth strategies, personnel changes, demand for our products, supply shortages and general economic conditions.

This section discusses factors that, individually or in the aggregate, we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. If any of the events described below occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected and our stock price could decline. We provide these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider the following to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties applicable to our business. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Forward-Looking Statements." We depend heavily on our principal customers and our success is heavily dependent on our principal customers' ability to grow their business. Whole Foods Market accounted for approximately 37% of our net sales in fiscal 2018 . We serve as the primary distributor of natural, organic and specialty non- perishable products, and also distribute certain specialty protein, cheese, deli items and products from health, beauty and supplement categories to Whole Foods Market in all of its regions in the United States under the terms of our distribution agreement which expires on September 28, 2025. Our ability to maintain a close, mutually beneficial relationship with Whole Foods Market, which was acquired by Amazon.com, Inc. in August 2017, is an important element to our continued growth. The loss or cancellation of business from Whole Foods Market, including from increased self distribution to its own facilities, closures of its stores, reductions in the amount of products that Whole Foods Market sells to its customers, or our failure to comply with the terms of our distribution agreement with Whole Foods Market could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, if Whole Foods Market is not able to grow its business, including as a result of a reduction in the level of discretionary spending by its customers or competition from other retailers or if Whole Foods Market diverts purchases from us beyond minimum amounts it is required to purchase under our distribution agreement, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, given the growth acceleration we have experienced in fiscal 2018, if Whole Foods Market were to only purchase the minimum purchase amounts, it would negatively impact our financials results. In addition to our dependence on Whole Foods Market, we are also dependent upon sales to our supermarket customers. Net sales to these customers accounted for approximately 28% of our total net sales in fiscal 2018 . To the extent that customers in this group make decisions to utilize alternative sources of products, whether through other distributors or through self distribution, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Our business is a low margin business and our profit margins may decrease due to consolidation in the grocery industry and our focus on sales to the supermarkets channel. The grocery distribution industry generally is characterized by relatively high volume of sales with relatively low profit margins. The continuing consolidation of retailers in the natural products industry and the growth of supernatural chains may reduce our profit margins in the future as more customers qualify for greater volume discounts, and we experience pricing pressures from suppliers and retailers. Sales to customers within our supernatural and supermarkets channels generate a lower gross margin than do sales to our independents channel customers. Many of these customers, including our largest customer, have agreements with us that include volume discounts. As the amounts these customers purchase from us increase, the price that they pay for the products they purchase is reduced, putting downward pressure on our gross margins on these sales. To compensate for these lower gross margins, we must increase the amount of products we sell or reduce the expenses we incur to service these customers. If we are unable to reduce our expenses as a percentage of net sales, including our expenses related to servicing this lower gross margin business, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely impacted. We may have difficulty managing our growth. The growth in the size of our business and operations has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant strain on our management. Our future growth may be limited by strong growth by certain of our largest customers or our inability to retain existing customers, make acquisitions, successfully integrate acquired entities or significant new customers, implement information systems initiatives, acquire or timely construct new distribution centers, expand our existing distribution centers, or adequately manage our personnel. Our future growth is limited in part by the size and location of our distribution centers. As we near maximum utilization of a given facility or maximize our processing capacity, operations may be constrained and inefficiencies have been and may be created, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations unless the facility is expanded, volume is shifted to another facility or additional processing capacity is added. Conversely, if we add additional facilities, expand existing operations or facilities, or fail to retain existing business, excess capacity may be created. Any excess capacity 8 Table of Contents may also create inefficiencies and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, including as a result of incurring additional operating costs for these facilities before demand for products to be supplied from these facilities rises to a level sufficient to cover these additional costs. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully expand our existing distribution centers or open new distribution centers in new or existing markets if needed to accommodate or facilitate growth. Even if we are able to expand our distribution network, our ability to compete effectively and to manage future growth, if any, will depend on our ability to continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems, including our warehouse management systems, on a timely basis and to expand, train, motivate and manage our work force. We cannot assure you that our existing personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support the future growth of our operations. Our inability to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our customers generally are not obligated to continue purchasing products from us and larger customers that do have multiyear contracts with us may terminate these contracts early in certain situations or choose not to renew or extend the contract at its expiration. Many of our customers buy from us under purchase orders, and we generally do not have written agreements with or long-term commitments from these customers for the purchase of products. We cannot assure you that these customers will maintain or increase their sales volumes or orders for the products supplied by us or that we will be able to maintain or add to our existing customer base. Decreases in our volumes or orders for products supplied by us for these customers with whom we do not have a long-term contract may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may have contracts with certain of our customers (as is the case with many of our conventional supermarket customers and our supernatural chain customer) that obligate the customer to buy products from us for a particular period of time. Even in this case, the contracts may not require the customer to purchase a minimum amount of products from us or the contracts may afford the customer better pricing in the event that the volume of the customer’s purchases exceeds certain levels. If these customers were to terminate these contracts prior to their scheduled termination, or if we or the customer elected not to renew or extend the term of the contract at its expiration at historical purchase levels, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, including additional operational expenses to transition out of the business or to adjust our staffing levels to account for the reduction in net sales. Our operating results are subject to significant fluctuations. Our operating results may vary significantly from period to period due to: demand for our products, including fluctuations as a result of calendar year-end holidays; changes in our operating expenses, including fuel and insurance expenses; • • • management's ability to execute our business and growth strategies; • • • • • • • changes in customer preferences, including levels of enthusiasm for health, fitness and environmental issues; public perception of the benefits of natural and organic products when compared to similar conventional products; fluctuation of natural product prices due to competitive pressures; the addition or loss of significant customers; personnel changes; general economic conditions, including inflation; supply shortages, including a lack of an adequate supply of high-quality livestock or agricultural products due to poor growing conditions, water shortages, natural disasters or otherwise; volatility in prices of high-quality livestock or agricultural products resulting from poor growing conditions, water shortages, weather, natural disasters or otherwise; contractual adjustments, disputes, or modifications with our suppliers or customers; shortage of qualified labor which could potentially increase labor costs, reduce profitability or decrease our ability to effectively serve customers; and future acquisitions, particularly in periods immediately following the consummation of such acquisition transactions while the operations of the acquired businesses are being integrated into our operations. • • • • Due to the foregoing factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not necessarily be meaningful and that such comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future performance. 9 Table of Contents We have significant competition from a variety of sources. We operate in competitive markets and our future success will be largely dependent on our ability to provide quality products and services at competitive prices. Bidding for contracts or arrangements with customers, particularly within the supernatural and supermarkets channels, is highly competitive and we may market our services to a particular customer over a long period of time before we are invited to bid. Our competition comes from a variety of sources, including other distributors of natural products as well as specialty grocery and mass market grocery distributors and retail customers that have their own distribution channels. Mass market grocery distributors in recent years have increased their emphasis on natural and organic products and are now competing more directly with us. In addition, many supermarket chains have increased self-distribution of particular items that we sell or have increased their purchases of particular items that we sell directly from suppliers. New competitors are also entering our markets as barriers to entry for new competitors are relatively low. For instance, more natural and organic products are being sold in convenience stores and other mass market retailers than was the case a few years ago and many of these customers are being serviced by conventional distributors or are self-distributing. Some of the mass market grocery distributors with whom we compete may have been in business longer than we have, may have substantially greater financial and other resources than we have and may be better established in their markets. We also face indirect competition as a result of the fact that our customers with physical locations face competition from online retailers and distributors that seek to sell certain of the type of products we sell to our customers directly to consumers. We cannot assure you that our current or potential competitors will not provide products or services comparable or superior to those provided by us or adapt more quickly than we do to evolving industry trends or changing market requirements. It is also possible that alliances among competitors may develop and that competitors may rapidly acquire significant market share or that certain of our customers will increase distribution to their own retail facilities. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margins, lost business and loss of market share, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete effectively against current and future competitors. We may not realize the anticipated benefits from our acquisitions, including, in particular, our proposed acquisition of SUPERVALU. We cannot assure you that our prior acquisitions or our proposed acquisition of SUPERVALU or any future acquisitions will enhance our financial performance. Our ability to achieve the expected benefits of these acquisitions will depend on, among other things, our ability to effectively translate our business strategies into a new set of products, our ability to retain and assimilate the acquired businesses' employees, our ability to retain customers and suppliers on terms similar to those in place with the acquired businesses, our ability to expand the products we offer in many of our markets to include the products distributed by these businesses, our ability to expand into new markets to include markets of the acquired business, the adequacy of our implementation plans, our ability to maintain our financial and internal controls and systems as we expand our operations, the ability of our management to oversee and operate effectively the combined operations and our ability to achieve desired operating efficiencies and sales goals. The integration of the businesses that we acquired might also cause us to incur unforeseen costs, which would lower our future earnings and would prevent us from realizing the expected benefits of these acquisitions. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in decreases in the amount of expected revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy and could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results including, ultimately, a reduction in our stock price. Our investment in information technology may not result in the anticipated benefits. In our attempt to reduce operating expenses and increase operating efficiencies, we have invested in the development and implementation of new information technology. We are in the process of rolling out a national warehouse management and procurement system to convert our existing facilities into a single warehouse management and supply chain platform and have completed conversions at fifteen of our facilities. In light of the proposed acquisition of SUPERVALU, we are reevaluating our warehouse management system strategy. However, we currently plan to remain focused on the automation of our new or expanded distribution centers that are at different stages of construction. We may not be able to implement these technological changes in the time frame that we have planned and delays in implementation could negatively impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, the costs to make these changes may exceed our estimates and will exceed the benefits during the early stages of implementation. Even if we are able to implement the changes in accordance with our current plans, and within our current cost estimates, we may not be able to achieve the expected efficiencies and cost savings from this investment, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Moreover, as we implement information technology enhancements, disruptions in our business may be created (including disruption with our customers) which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our business strategy of increasing our sales of fresh, perishable items, which we accelerated with our acquisitions of Tony’s, Global Organic and Nor-Cal, may not produce the results that we expect. 10 Table of Contents A key element of our current growth strategy is to increase the amount of fresh, perishable products that we distribute. We believe that the ability to distribute these products that are typically found in the perimeter of our customers’ stores, in addition to the products we have historically distributed, will differentiate us from our competitors and increase demand for our products. We accelerated this strategy with our acquisitions of Tony’s, Global Organic and Nor-Cal. If we are unable to grow this portion of our business and manage that growth effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Failure by us to develop and operate a reliable technology platform could negatively impact our business. Our ability to decrease costs and increase profits, as well as our ability to serve customers most effectively, depends on the reliability of our technology platform. We use software and other technology systems, among other things, to generate and select orders, to load and route trucks and to monitor and manage our business on a day-to-day basis. Failure to have adequate computer systems across the enterprise and any disruption to these computer systems could adversely impact our customer service, decrease the volume of our business and result in increased costs negatively affecting our business, financial condition or results of operations. We have experienced losses due to the uncollectability of accounts receivable in the past and could experience increases in such losses in the future if our customers are unable to timely pay their debts to us. Certain of our customers have from time to time experienced bankruptcy, insolvency and/or an inability to pay their debts to us as they come due. If our customers suffer significant financial difficulty, they may be unable to pay their debts to us timely or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. It is possible that customers may reject their contractual obligations to us under bankruptcy laws or otherwise. Significant customer bankruptcies could further adversely affect our revenues and increase our operating expenses by requiring larger provisions for bad debt. In addition, even when our contracts with these customers are not rejected, if customers are unable to meet their obligations on a timely basis, it could adversely affect our ability to collect receivables. Further, we may have to negotiate significant discounts and/or extended financing terms with these customers in such a situation, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. During periods of economic weakness, small to medium-sized businesses, like many of our independents channel customers, may be impacted more severely and more quickly than larger businesses. Similarly, these smaller businesses may be more likely to be more severely impacted by events outside of their control, like significant weather events. Consequently, the ability of such businesses to repay their obligations to us may deteriorate, and in some cases this deterioration may occur quickly, which could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our acquisition strategy may adversely affect our business. A portion of our past growth has been achieved through acquisitions of, or mergers with, other distributors of natural, organic and specialty products. We also continually evaluate opportunities to acquire other companies. We believe that there are risks related to acquiring companies, including an inability to successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates or consummate such potential acquisitions. To the extent that our future growth includes acquisitions, we cannot assure you that we will not overpay for acquisitions, lose key employees of acquired companies, or fail to achieve potential synergies or expansion into new markets as a result of our acquisitions. Therefore, future acquisitions, if any, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, particularly in periods immediately following the consummation of those transactions while the operations of the acquired business are being integrated with our operations. Achieving the benefits of acquisitions depends on timely, efficient and successful execution of a number of post-acquisition events, including, among other things: • maintaining the customer and supplier base; • • • optimizing delivery routes; coordinating administrative, distribution and finance functions; and integrating management information systems and personnel. The integration process could divert the attention of management. Any difficulties or problems encountered in the transition process could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In particular, the integration process may temporarily redirect resources previously focused on reducing product cost and operating expenses, resulting in lower gross profits in relation to sales. In addition, the process of combining companies could cause the interruption of, or a loss of momentum and operating profits in, the activities of the respective businesses, which could have an adverse effect on their combined operations. In connection with acquisitions of businesses in the future, if any, we may decide to consolidate the operations of any acquired businesses with our existing operations or make other changes with respect to the acquired businesses, which could result in special charges or other expenses. Our results of operations also may be adversely affected by expenses we incur in making acquisitions, by amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets with definite lives and by additional depreciation and amortization attributable to acquired assets. Any of the businesses we acquire may also have liabilities or adverse operating issues, including 11 Table of Contents some that we fail to discover before the acquisition, and our indemnity for such liabilities may also be limited. Additionally, our ability to make any future acquisitions may depend upon obtaining additional financing. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. To the extent that we seek to acquire other businesses in exchange for our common stock, fluctuations in our stock price could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete acquisitions. Impairment charges for goodwill or other long-lived assets could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. We monitor the recoverability of our long-lived assets, such as buildings and equipment, and evaluate their carrying value for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. We annually review goodwill to determine if impairment has occurred. Additionally, interim reviews are performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. If the testing performed indicates that impairment has occurred, we are required to record a non-cash impairment charge for the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the long-lived assets or the carrying value and fair value of the reporting unit, in the period the determination is made. The testing of long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment requires us to make estimates that are subject to significant assumptions about our future revenue, profitability, cash flows, fair value of assets and liabilities, weighted average cost of capital, as well as other assumptions. Changes in these estimates, or changes in actual performance compared with these estimates, may affect the fair value of long-lived assets or reporting unit, which may result in an impairment charge. We cannot accurately predict the amount or timing of any impairment of assets. Should the value of long-lived assets or goodwill become impaired, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. Our operations are sensitive to economic downturns. The grocery industry is sensitive to national and regional economic conditions and the demand for the products that we distribute, particularly our specialty products, may be adversely affected from time to time by economic downturns that impact consumer spending, including discretionary spending. Future economic conditions such as employment levels, business conditions, housing starts, interest rates, inflation rates, energy and fuel costs and tax rates could reduce consumer spending or change consumer purchasing habits. Among these changes could be a reduction in the number of natural and organic products that consumers purchase where there are non-organic, which we refer to as conventional, alternatives, given that many natural and organic products, and particularly natural and organic foods, often have higher retail prices than do their conventional counterparts. Our business may be sensitive to inflationary and deflationary pressures. Many of our sales are at prices that are based on our product cost plus a percentage markup. As a result, volatile food costs have a direct impact upon our profitability. Prolonged periods of product cost inflation and periods of rapidly increasing inflation may have a negative impact on our profit margins and results of operations to the extent that we are unable to pass on all or a portion of such product cost increases to our customers. In addition, product cost inflation may negatively impact the consumer discretionary spending trends of our customers' customers, which could adversely affect our sales. Conversely, because many of our sales are at prices that are based upon product cost plus a percentage markup, our profit levels may be negatively impacted during periods of product cost deflation even though our gross profit as a percentage of net sales may remain relatively constant. To compensate for lower gross margins, we, in turn, must reduce expenses that we incur to service our customers. If we are unable to reduce our expenses as a percentage of net sales, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely impacted. Product liability claims could have an adverse effect on our business. We face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims if the products we manufacture or sell cause injury or illness. In addition, meat, seafood, cheese, poultry and other products that we distribute could be subject to recall because they are, or are alleged to be, contaminated, spoiled or inappropriately labeled. Our meat and poultry products may be subject to contamination by disease-producing organisms, or pathogens, such as Listeria monocytogenes , Salmonella and generic E.coli . These pathogens are generally found in the environment, and as a result, there is a risk that they, as a result of food processing, could be present in the meat and poultry products we distribute. These pathogens can also be introduced as a result of improper handling at the consumer level. These risks may be controlled, although not eliminated, by adherence to good manufacturing practices and finished product testing. We have little, if any, control over proper handling before we receive the product or once the product has been shipped to our customers. We may be subject to liability, which could be substantial, because of actual or alleged contamination in products manufactured or sold by us, including products sold by companies before we acquired them. In addition, if we were to manufacture or distribute foods that are or are perceived to be contaminated, any resulting product recalls could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We have, and the companies we have acquired have had, liability insurance with respect to product liability claims. This insurance may not continue to be available at a reasonable cost or at all, and may not be adequate to cover product liability claims against us or against companies we have acquired. We generally 12 Table of Contents seek contractual indemnification from manufacturers, but any such indemnification is limited, as a practical matter, to the creditworthiness of the indemnifying party. If we or any of our acquired companies do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification available, product liability claims and costs associated with product recalls, including a loss of business, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Changes in consumer eating habits could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Changes in consumer eating habits away from natural, organic or specialty products could reduce demand for our products. Consumer eating habits could be affected by a number of factors, including changes in attitudes regarding benefits of natural and organic products when compared to similar conventional products or new information regarding the health effects of consuming certain foods. Although there is a growing consumer preference for sustainable, organic and locally grown products, there can be no assurance that such trend will continue. Changing consumer eating habits also occur due to generational shifts. Millennials, the largest demographic group in the U.S. in terms of spend, seek new and different as well as more ethnic menu options and menu innovation, however there can be no assurance that such trend will continue. If consumer eating habits change significantly, we may be required to modify or discontinue sales of certain items in our product portfolio, and we may experience higher costs associated with the implementation of those changes. Additionally if we are not able to effectively respond to changes in consumer perceptions or adapt our product offerings to trends in eating habits, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. Increased fuel costs may adversely affect our results of operations. Increased fuel costs may have a negative impact on our results of operations. The high cost of diesel fuel can increase the price we pay for products as well as the costs we incur to deliver products to our customers. These factors, in turn, may negatively impact our net sales, margins, operating expenses and operating results. To manage this risk, we have in the past periodically entered, and may in the future periodically enter, into heating oil derivative contracts to hedge a portion of our projected diesel fuel requirements. Heating crude oil prices have a highly correlated relationship to diesel fuel prices, making these derivatives effective in offsetting changes in the cost of diesel fuel. We are not party to any commodity swap agreements and, as a result, our exposure to volatility in the price of diesel fuel has increased relative to our exposure to volatility in prior periods in which we had outstanding heating oil derivative contracts. We do not enter into fuel hedge contracts for speculative purposes. We have in the past, and may in the future, periodically enter into forward purchase commitments for a portion of our projected monthly diesel fuel requirements at fixed prices. As of July 28, 2018 , we had no forward diesel fuel commitments. We also maintain a fuel surcharge program which allows us to pass some of our higher fuel costs through to our customers. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to be able to pass a comparable proportion or any of our higher fuel costs to our customers in the future, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Disruption of our distribution network or to the operations of our customers could adversely affect our business. Damage or disruption to our distribution capabilities due to weather, natural disaster, fire, terrorism, pandemic, strikes, the financial and/or operational instability of key suppliers, or other reasons could impair our ability to distribute our products. To the extent that we are unable, or it is not financially feasible, to mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to manage effectively such events if they occur, there could be an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, such disruptions may reduce the number of consumers who visit our customers’ facilities in any affected areas. Furthermore, such disruption may interrupt or impede access to our customers’ facilities, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The cost of the capital available to us and limitations on our ability to access additional capital may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Historically, acquisitions and capital expenditures have been a large component of our growth. We anticipate that acquisitions and capital expenditures will continue to be important to our growth in the future. As a result, increases in the cost of capital available to us, which could result from us not being in compliance with fixed charge coverage ratio covenants or other restrictive covenants under our debt agreements, including our Existing ABL Loan Agreement, our Existing Term Loan Agreement (as defined below) and the debt agreements we expect to enter into in connection with the SUPERVALU acquisition, or our inability to access additional capital to finance acquisitions and capital expenditures through borrowed funds could restrict our ability to grow our business organically or through acquisitions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, our profit margins depend on strategic investment buying initiatives, such as discounted bulk purchases, which require spending significant amounts of working capital up-front to purchase products that we then sell over a multi-month time period. Therefore, increases in the cost of capital available to us or our inability to access additional capital through borrowed funds could 13 Table of Contents restrict our ability to engage in strategic investment buying initiatives, which could reduce our profit margins and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We expect to substantially increase our level of debt in connection with the proposed acquisition of SUPERVALU which will make us more sensitive to the effects of economic downturns and could adversely affect our business. In order to finance the proposed acquisition of SUPERVALU, we expect to incur up to $3.50 billion of additional indebtedness, including indebtedness to be incurred to refinance SUPERVALU's existing debt. This increase in our leverage, and any further increase, could have important potential consequences, including, but not limited to: • • increasing our vulnerability to, and reducing our flexibility to plan for and respond to, general adverse economic and industry conditions and changes in our business and the competitive environment; requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal of, and interest on, indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of such cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases or other corporate purposes; increasing our vulnerability to a downgrade of our credit rating, which could adversely affect our cost of funds, liquidity and access to capital markets; restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures; increasing our exposure to the risk of increased interest rates insofar as current and future borrowings are subject to variable rates of interest; • • • • making it more difficult for us to repay, refinance or satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt; • • • limiting our ability to borrow additional funds in the future and increasing the cost of any such borrowing; placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors with less leverage or better access to capital resources, and imposing restrictive covenants on our operations, which, if not complied with, could result in an event of default, which in turn, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of the applicable debt, and may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. There is no assurance that we will generate cash flow from operations or that future debt or equity financings will be available to us to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund other needs. As a result, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. There is no assurance that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all. Any inability to generate sufficient cash flow or refinance our indebtedness on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our debt agreements contain restrictive covenants that may limit our operating flexibility. Our debt agreements, including our Existing ABL Loan Agreement and our Existing Term Loan Agreement (as defined below) contain, and the debt agreements we expect to enter into in connection with the SUPERVALU acquisition will contain, financial covenants and other restrictions that limit our operating flexibility, limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business. These restrictions may prevent us from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interest of our business, and may make it difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted. In addition, our Existing ABL Loan Agreement and Existing Term Loan Agreement each require, and the debt agreements we expect to enter into in connection with the SUPERVALU acquisition will require, that we comply with various financial tests and impose certain restrictions on us, including among other things, restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, make loans or investments or pay dividends. Failure to comply with these covenants could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Conditions beyond our control can interrupt our supplies and alter our product costs. The majority of our suppliers are based in the United States and Canada, but we also source products from suppliers throughout Europe, Asia, Central America, South America, Africa and Australia. For the most part, we do not have long-term contracts with our suppliers committing them to provide products to us. Although our purchasing volume can provide benefits when dealing with suppliers, suppliers may not provide the products needed by us in the quantities and at the prices requested. We are also subject to delays caused by interruption in production and increases in product costs based on conditions outside of our control. These conditions include work slowdowns, work interruptions, strikes or other job actions by employees of suppliers, short-term weather conditions or more prolonged climate change, crop conditions, product recalls, water shortages, transportation interruptions, unavailability of fuel or increases in fuel costs, competitive demands, raw material shortages and natural disasters or other catastrophic events (including, but not limited to food-borne illnesses). As demand for natural and organic products has increased and the distribution channels into which these products are sold have expanded, we have continued to experience higher levels of 14 Table of Contents manufacturer out-of-stocks. These shortages have caused us to incur higher operating expenses due to the cost of moving products around and between our distribution facilities in order to keep our service level high. We cannot be sure when this trend will end or whether it will recur during future years. As the consumer demand for natural and organic products has increased, certain retailers and other producers have entered the market and attempted to buy certain raw materials directly, limiting their availability to be used in certain supplier products. Further, increased frequency or duration of extreme weather conditions could also impair production capabilities, disrupt our supply chain or impact demand for our products, including the specialty protein and cheese products sold by Tony's. For example, until the last two years, weather patterns had resulted in lower than normal levels of precipitation in key agricultural states such as California, impacting the price of water and corresponding prices of food products grown in states facing drought conditions. The impact of sustained droughts is uncertain and could result in volatile input costs. Input costs could increase at any point in time for a large portion of the products that we sell for a prolonged period. Conversely, in years where rainfall levels are abundant product costs, particularly in our perishable and produce businesses, may decline and the results of this product cost deflation could negatively impact our results of operations. Our inability to obtain adequate products as a result of any of the foregoing factors or otherwise could prevent us from fulfilling our obligations to customers, and customers may turn to other distributors. In that case, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Changes in relationships with our suppliers may adversely affect our profitability. We cooperatively engage in a variety of promotional programs with our suppliers. We manage these programs to maintain or improve our margins and increase sales. A reduction or change in promotional spending by our suppliers (including as a result of increased demand for natural and organic products) could have a significant impact on our profitability. We depend heavily on our ability to purchase merchandise in sufficient quantities at competitive prices. We have no assurances of continued supply, pricing, or access to new products and any supplier could at any time change the terms upon which it sells to us or discontinue selling to us. We are subject to significant governmental regulation. Our business is highly regulated at the federal, state and local levels and our products and distribution operations require various licenses, permits and approvals. In particular: • • • the products that we distribute in the United States are subject to inspection by the FDA; our warehouse and distribution centers are subject to inspection by the USDA and state health authorities; and the United States Department of Transportation and the United States Federal Highway Administration regulate our United States trucking operations. Our Canadian operations are similarly subject to extensive regulation, including the English and French dual labeling requirements applicable to products that we distribute in Canada. The loss or revocation of any existing licenses, permits or approvals or the failure to obtain any additional licenses, permits or approvals in new jurisdictions where we intend to do business could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, as a distributor and manufacturer of natural, organic, and specialty foods, we are subject to increasing governmental scrutiny of and public awareness regarding food safety and the sale, packaging and marketing of natural and organic products. Compliance with these laws may impose a significant burden on our operations. Additionally, concern over climate change, including the impact of global warming, has led to significant United States and international legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Increased regulation regarding greenhouse gas emissions, especially diesel engine emissions, could impose substantial costs on us. These costs include an increase in the cost of the fuel and other energy we purchase and capital costs associated with updating or replacing our vehicles prematurely. Until the timing, scope and extent of such regulation becomes known, we cannot predict its effect on our results of operations. It is reasonably possible, however, that it could impose material costs on us which we may be unable to pass on to our customers. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, including those referred to above and in Item 1. Business—Government Regulation, could result in, among other things, administrative, civil, or criminal penalties or fines, mandatory or voluntary product recalls, warning or other letters, cease and desist orders against operations that are not in compliance, closure of facilities or operations, the loss, revocation, or modification of any existing licenses, permits, registrations, or approvals, or the failure to obtain additional licenses, permits, registrations, or approvals in new jurisdictions where we intend to do business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. These laws and regulations may change in the future and we may incur material costs in our efforts to comply with current or future laws and regulations or due to any required product recalls. In addition, if we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations or encounter disagreements with respect to our contracts subject to governmental regulations, including those referred to above, we may be subject to investigations, criminal sanctions or civil remedies, including fines, injunctions, prohibitions on exporting, seizures, or debarments from contracting with the U.S. or 15 Table of Contents Canadian governments. The cost of compliance or the consequences of non-compliance, including debarments, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, governmental units may make changes in the regulatory frameworks within which we operate that may require either the corporation as a whole or individual businesses to incur substantial increases in costs in order to comply with such laws and regulations. A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively impact our business and our relationships with customers . We use computers in substantially all aspects of our business operations. We also use mobile devices, social networking and other online activities to connect with our employees, suppliers, business partners and our customers. Such uses give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our business involves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including customers’ and suppliers' personal information, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about the Company and its business partners. Further, as we pursue our strategy to grow through acquisitions and to pursue new initiatives that improve our operations and cost structure, we are also expanding and improving our information technologies, resulting in a larger technological presence and corresponding exposure to cybersecurity risk. If we fail to assess and identify cybersecurity risks associated with acquisitions and new initiatives, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally, while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirely effective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with our information technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage, violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We face risks related to labor relations. As of July 28, 2018 , approximately 7.3% of our employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements which expire between March 2019 and March 2022. See "Item 1. Business—Employees" for further detail. If we are not able to renew these agreements or are required to make significant changes to these agreements, our relationship with these employees may become fractured, work stoppages could occur or we may incur additional expenses which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We have in the past been the focus of union-organizing efforts, and we believe it is likely that we will be the focus of similar efforts in the future. As we increase our employee base and broaden our distribution operations to new geographic markets, our increased visibility could result in increased or expanded union-organizing efforts. In the event we are unable to negotiate contract renewals with our union associates, we could be subject to work stoppages. In that event, it would be necessary for us to hire replacement workers to continue to meet our obligations to our customers. The costs to hire replacement workers and employ effective security measures could negatively impact the profitability of any affected facility. Depending on the length of time that we are required to employ replacement workers and security measures these costs could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In January 2018, the National Labor Relations Board certified the election results of our driver employees in Gilroy, California to be represented by the Teamsters union. We are in the process of negotiating a collective bargaining agreement with these employees. The terms of this agreement could cause our expenses at this facility to increase, negatively impacting the results of operations at this facility. We may fail to establish sufficient insurance reserves and adequately estimate for future workers' compensation and automobile liabilities. We are primarily self-insured for workers' compensation and general and automobile liability insurance. We believe that our workers' compensation and automobile insurance coverage is customary for businesses of our size and type. However, there are types of losses we may incur that cannot be insured against or that we believe are not commercially reasonable to insure. These losses, should they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, the cost of workers' compensation insurance and automobile insurance fluctuates based upon our historical trends, market conditions and availability. Any projection of losses concerning workers' compensation and automobile insurance is subject to a considerable degree of variability. Among the causes of this variability are unpredictable external factors affecting litigation trends, benefit level changes and claim settlement patterns. If actual losses incurred are greater than those anticipated, our reserves may be insufficient and additional costs could be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. If we suffer a substantial loss that is not covered by 16 Table of Contents our self-insurance reserves, the loss and attendant expenses could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. We have purchased stop loss coverage from third parties, which limits our exposure above the amounts we have self-insured. Adverse judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings in which we may be involved in the normal course of our business could reduce our profits or limit our ability to operate our business. In the normal course of our business, we are involved in various legal proceedings. The outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted. If any of these proceedings were to be determined adversely to us or a settlement involving a payment of a material sum of money were to occur, it could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or ability to operate our business. Additionally, we could become the subject of future claims by third parties, including our employees, our investors, or regulators. Any significant adverse judgments or settlements would reduce our profits and could limit our ability to operate our business. Further, we may incur costs related to claims for which we have appropriate third-party indemnity, but such third parties fail to fulfill their contractual obligations. ITEM 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES We maintained thirty-three distribution centers at July 28, 2018 which were utilized by our wholesale segment. These facilities, including offsite storage space, consisted of an aggregate of approximately 8.8 million square feet of storage space, which we believe represents the largest capacity of any distributor within the United States that is principally engaged in the distribution of natural, organic and specialty products. Set forth below for each of our distribution centers is its location and the expiration of leases as of July 28, 2018 for those distribution centers that we do not own. 17 Table of Contents Location Atlanta, Georgia* Auburn, California* Auburn, Washington Aurora, Colorado Burnaby, British Columbia Charlotte, North Carolina Chesterfield, New Hampshire* Dayville, Connecticut* Gilroy, California Greenwood, Indiana* Howell Township, New Jersey Hudson Valley, New York* Iowa City, Iowa* Lancaster, Texas Logan Township, New Jersey Montreal, Quebec Moreno Valley, California Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Prescott, Wisconsin Racine, Wisconsin* Richburg, South Carolina Richmond, British Columbia Ridgefield, Washington Ridgefield, Washington* Rocklin, California* Sarasota, Florida Truckee, California Vaughan, Ontario Vernon, California* West Sacramento, California West Sacramento, California York, Pennsylvania Yuba City, California Square Footage (Approximate in thousands) 304 126 323 483 41 43 272 292 411 293 387 476 249 454 70 31 596 100 269 410 336 96 30 220 439 641 6 180 30 192 85 650 224 Lease Expiration Owned Owned August 2019 October 2033 December 2022 September 2019 Owned Owned Owned Owned Owned Owned Owned July 2020 March 2028 July 2019 July 2023 January 2020 Owned Owned Owned August 2022 September 2019 Owned Owned July 2022 August 2020 November 2021 Owned Owned Owned May 2020 September 2021 *The properties noted above are mortgaged under and encumbered by our Existing Term Loan Agreement initially entered into on August 14, 2014.

We also lease a processing and manufacturing facility in Edison, New Jersey for our manufacturing and branded products division with a lease expiration date of July 31, 2023. We lease office space in San Francisco, California; Santa Cruz, California; Chesterfield, New Hampshire; Uniondale, New York; Brooklyn, New York; Richmond, Virginia; Wayne, Pennsylvania; Lincoln, Rhode Island, the site of our shared services center; and Providence, Rhode Island, the site of our corporate headquarters. Our leases have been entered into upon terms that we believe to be reasonable and customary. 18   Table of Contents ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, we are involved in routine litigation or other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business.

The number of record holders is not representative of the number of beneficial holders of our common stock because depositories, brokers or other nominees hold many shares. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We anticipate that all of our earnings in the foreseeable future will be retained to finance the continued growth and development of our business, and we have no current intention to pay cash dividends. Our future dividend policy will depend on our earnings, capital requirements and financial condition, requirements of the financing agreements to which we are then a party and other factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors. Additionally, our Existing ABL Loan Agreement and Existing Term Loan Agreement contain, and the debt agreements we expect to enter into in connection with the SUPERVALU acquisition will contain, terms that restrict us from making any cash dividends unless certain conditions and financial tests are met.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. Forward-Looking Statements This Annual Report and the documents incorporated by reference in this Annual Report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. In some cases you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plans," "planned," "seek," "should," "will," and "would," or similar words. Statements that contain these words and other statements that are forward-looking in nature should be read carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of future results of operations or of financial positions or state other "forward-looking" information. Forward-looking statements involve inherent uncertainty and may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or actual operating results. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to: • our dependence on principal customers; 22     Table of Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • our ability to effectively manage operational expenses due to higher volumes from our single supernatural customer and from supermarkets in light of lower margins from those customers; the relatively low margins and economic sensitivity of our business; changes in disposable income levels and consumer spending trends; our reliance on the continued growth in sales of natural and organic foods and non-food products in comparison to conventional products; increased competition in our industry as a result of increased distribution of natural, organic and specialty products by conventional grocery distributors and direct distribution of those products by large retailers and online distributors; the ability to identify and successfully complete acquisitions, including our ability to complete the acquisition of SUPERVALU and to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination with SUPERVALU; our ability to timely and successfully deploy our warehouse management system throughout our distribution centers and our transportation management system across the Company and to achieve the expected efficiencies and cost savings from these efforts; the addition or loss of significant customers or material changes to our relationships with these customers; our sensitivity to general economic conditions, including the current economic environment; our sensitivity to inflationary and deflationary pressures; volatility in fuel costs; volatility in foreign exchange rates; the potential for disruptions in our supply chain by circumstances beyond our control; the risk of interruption of supplies due to lack of long-term contracts, severe weather, work stoppages or otherwise; consumer demand for natural and organic products outpacing suppliers’ ability to produce those products and challenges we may experience in obtaining sufficient amounts of products to meet our customers' demands; union-organizing activities that could cause labor relations difficulties and increased costs; • moderated supplier promotional activity, including decreased forward buying opportunities; • • management's allocation of capital and the timing of capital expenditures; and • changes in interpretations, assumptions and expectations regarding the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"), including additional guidance that may be issued by federal and state taxing authorities. This list of risks and uncertainties, however, is only a summary of some of the most important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements and is not intended to be exhaustive. You should carefully review the risks described under "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors," as well as any other cautionary language in this Annual Report, as the occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect, which may be material, on our business, financial condition or results of operations. This Annual Report contains forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures associated with the pending SUPERVALU acquisition. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that presenting non-GAAP financial measures aids in making period-to-period comparisons and is a meaningful indication of its actual and estimated operating performance. In addition, the Company's management believes that the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provide guidance to investors about our pro forma financial expectations for the pending SUPERVALU acquisition. The Company's management utilizes and plans to utilize this non-GAAP financial information to compare the Company's operating performance to comparable periods and to internally prepared projections. We are not able to reconcile these metrics to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of purchase accounting, divestitures and restructuring actions. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our GAAP financial results. Overview We are a leading distributor based on sales of natural, organic and specialty foods and non-food products in the United States and Canada. We offer more than 110,000 natural, organic and specialty foods and non-food products, consisting of national, regional and private label brands grouped into six product categories: grocery and general merchandise, produce, perishables and frozen foods, nutritional supplements and sports nutrition, bulk and food service products and personal care items. We serve more than 40,000 customer locations primarily located across the United States and Canada which we classify into one of the following four categories: independents, which include buying clubs; supernatural, which consists solely of Whole Foods Market; supermarkets, which include mass market chains; and other which includes e-commerce, foodservice and international customers outside of Canada, as well as sales to Amazon.com, Inc. Our operations are generally comprised of two principal operating divisions. These operating divisions are: • our wholesale division , which includes: 23 Table of Contents ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ our broadline natural, organic and specialty distribution business in the United States; Tony's, which distributes a wide array of specialty protein, cheese, deli, foodservice and bakery goods, principally throughout the Western United States; Albert's, which distributes organically grown produce and non-produce perishable items within the United States, and includes the operations of Nor-Cal, a distributor of organic and conventional produce and non-produce perishable items principally in Northern California; UNFI Canada, Inc. ("UNFI Canada"), which is our natural, organic and specialty distribution business in Canada; and Select Nutrition, which distributes vitamins, minerals and supplements; and • our manufacturing and branded products division , consisting of: ◦ Woodstock Farms Manufacturing, which specializes in importing, roasting, packaging and the distribution of nuts, dried fruit, seeds, trail mixes, granola, natural and organic snack items and confections; and our Blue Marble Brands branded product lines. ◦ During fiscal 2018, we disposed of our retail business, Earth Origins, and recorded restructuring and asset impairment expenses, which includes a loss on the disposition of assets, of approximately $16.1 million during the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 . Our net sales consist primarily of sales of natural, organic and specialty products to retailers, adjusted for customer volume discounts, returns and allowances. Net sales also consist of amounts charged by us to customers for shipping and handling and fuel surcharges. The principal components of our cost of sales include the amounts paid to suppliers for product sold, plus the cost of transportation necessary to bring the product to, or move product between, our various distribution centers, offset by consideration received from suppliers in connection with the purchase or promotion of the suppliers' products. Cost of sales also includes amounts incurred by us at our manufacturing subsidiary, Woodstock Farms Manufacturing, for inbound transportation costs offset by consideration received from suppliers in connection with the purchase or promotion of the suppliers’ products. Our gross margin may not be comparable to other similar companies within our industry that may include all costs related to their distribution network in their costs of sales rather than as operating expenses. We include purchasing, receiving, selecting and outbound transportation expenses within our operating expenses rather than in our cost of sales. Total operating expenses include salaries and wages, employee benefits, warehousing and delivery, selling, occupancy, insurance, administrative, share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense. Other expenses (income) include interest on our outstanding indebtedness, including the financing obligation related to our Aurora, Colorado distribution center and the lease for office space for our corporate headquarters in Providence, Rhode Island, interest income and miscellaneous income and expenses. In recent years, our sales to existing and new customers have increased through the continued growth of the natural and organic products industry in general; increased market share as a result of our high quality service and a broader product selection, including specialty products; the acquisition of, or merger with, natural and specialty products distributors, the expansion of our existing distribution centers; the construction of new distribution centers; the introduction of new products and the development of our own line of natural and organic branded products. Through these efforts, we believe that we have been able to broaden our geographic penetration, expand our customer base, enhance and diversify our product selections and increase our market share. Our strategic plan is focused on increasing the type of products we distribute to our customers, including perishable products and conventional produce to “build out the store” and cover center of the store, as well as perimeter offerings. As part of our “one company” approach, we are in the process of rolling out a national warehouse management and procurement system to convert our existing facilities into a single warehouse management and supply chain platform ("WMS"). WMS supports our effort to integrate and nationalize processes across the organization. We have successfully implemented the WMS system at fifteen of our facilities. In light of the proposed acquisition of SUPERVALU, we are reevaluating our warehouse management system strategy. However, we continue to be focused on the automation of our new or expanded distribution centers that are at different stages of construction. These steps and others are intended to promote operational efficiencies and improve operating expenses as a percentage of net sales as we attempt to offset the lower gross margins we expect to generate by increased sales to the supernatural and supermarkets channels and as a result of additional competition in our business. We have been the primary distributor to Whole Foods Market for more than twenty years. We continue to serve as the primary distributor to Whole Foods Market in all of its regions in the United States pursuant to a distribution agreement that expires on September 28, 2025. Following the acquisition of Whole Foods Market by Amazon.com, Inc. in August 2017, our sales to Whole Foods Market increased resulting in year-over-year growth in net sales to this customer in fiscal 2018 of 21.4% compared to fiscal 2017 . Whole Foods Market accounted for approximately 37% and 33% of our net sales for the years ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , respectively. Our net sales increased from $9.27 billion in fiscal 2017 to $10.23 billion in fiscal 2018 . Net income increased from $130.2 million in fiscal 2017 to $165.7 million in fiscal 2018 . 24 Table of Contents With favorable trends in consumer confidence and the unemployment rate, we expect continued growth in sales of natural and organic foods and non-food products in fiscal 2019 and positive Company net sales growth of 8.6% to 10.5% . For fiscal 2019, the Company anticipates year-over-year sales growth to continue in the supernatural channel driven primarily by continued demand for better for you products. In addition, barring additional increases in freight or fuel rates, we expect inbound freight headwinds to dissipate in the first half of fiscal 2019 which would result in improved profitability, as reflected in our guidance. We are beginning to see this inbound freight improvement in the first month of fiscal 2019. Finally, the pending SUPERVALU acquisition is expected to have a positive impact on sales in fiscal 2019 as it accelerates the Company’s “build out the store” strategy. The pending SUPERVALU acquisition will also broaden our universe of customers and suppliers, reducing our dependence on any one customer. In the first full year after the acquisition closes (“Year One”), we expect combined net sales, excluding retail and discontinued operations, to be approximately $24.2 billion to $24.8 billion. Year One Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $655 million to $675 million. Year One Adjusted EBITDA excludes SUPERVALU’s retail business, impact from discontinued operations, one-time costs and the impact of purchase accounting. In addition, the Year One Adjusted EBITDA projection excludes the benefit of SUPERVALU’s net pension and other post-retirement benefits valued at $38 million for SUPERVALU’s fiscal year 2019. The projection includes the following items: (1) the winding down of SUPERVALU’s Albertson transition services agreement; (2) share based compensation for the Company and SUPERVALU; (3) retail and other stranded costs; and (4) the additional expense related to SUPERVALU’s recent sale leaseback initiative. In addition, the projection reflects Year One cost synergies, benefits from SUPERVALU’s acquisitions of Unified Grocers, Inc. and Associated Grocers of Florida, Inc, and growth assumptions for the underlying Company and SUPERVALU businesses. Cost synergies are the primary value driver in this combination. We expect to achieve more than $175 million in cost synergies in the third year after the acquisition closes (“Year Three”) and $185 million in the fourth year after the acquisition closes (“Year Four”). These assumptions exclude growth synergies. Cost synergies will be derived from two primary categories: overhead efficiencies and operational optimization. Our expectation is to achieve 25% of the synergies in Year One, 65% in the following year and 95% by Year Three and 100% by Year Four. As far as costs associated with the transaction and with achieving the synergies, we expect to incur the bulk of these costs in the first two years following the close of the acquisition. We expect approximately $95 million of costs in Year One and $110 million in years two through five, following the closing of the transaction. Lastly, we expect a low double-digit percentage accretion in Adjusted EPS in Year One, excluding one-time costs to achieve synergies and the impact of purchase accounting.

Our net sales by customer type for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 were as follows (in millions): Customer Type Supernatural Supermarkets Independents Other Total * Total reflects rounding 2018  Net Sales % of Total  Net Sales 2017  Net Sales % of Total  Net Sales $ 3,758 2,856 2,573 1,039 37% $ 28% 25% 10% $ 10,227 * 100% $ 3,096 2,747 2,427 1,004 9,274 33% 30% 26% 11% 100% During fiscal 2017, our net sales by channel were adjusted to reflect changes in the classification of customer types from acquisitions we consummated in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2016 and the first quarter of fiscal 2017. There was no financial statement impact as a result of revising the classification of customer types. As a result of this adjustment, net sales to our supermarkets and other channels for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 increased approximately $50 million and $2 million, respectively, compared to the previously reported amounts, while net sales to the independents channel for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 decreased approximately $52 million compared to the previously reported amounts. Whole Foods Market is our only supernatural customer, and net sales to Whole Foods Market for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 increased by approximately $662 million , or 21.4% , over the prior year and accounted for approximately 37% and 33% of our total net sales for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , respectively. The increase in net sales to Whole Foods Market is primarily due to an increase in same store sales following its acquisition by Amazon.com, Inc. in August 2017 coupled with growth in new product categories, most notably the health, beauty and supplement categories. Net sales within our supernatural channel do not include net sales to Amazon.com, Inc. in either the current period or the prior period, as these net sales are reported in our other channel. Net sales to our supermarkets channel for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 increased by approximately $109 million , or 4.0% , from fiscal 2017 and represented approximately 28% and 30% of total net sales in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 , respectively. The increase in net sales to supermarkets was primarily driven by growth in our wholesale division, which includes our broadline distribution business. Net sales to our independents channel increased by approximately $146 million , or 6.0% , during the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 compared to the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 , and accounted for 25% and 26% of our total net sales in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 , respectively. The increase in net sales in this channel is primarily due to growth in our wholesale division, which includes our broadline distribution business. Other net sales, which include sales to foodservice customers and sales from the United States to other countries, as well as sales through our e-commerce business, branded product lines, retail division, manufacturing division, and our brokerage business, increased by approximately $35 million , or 3.5% , for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 over the prior fiscal year and accounted for approximately 10% and 11% of total net sales in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 , respectively. The increase in other net sales was primarily driven by growth in our e-commerce business. Cost of Sales and Gross Profit Our gross profit increased approximately 6.6% , or $93.8 million , to $1.52 billion for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 , from $1.43 billion for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 . Our gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 14.9% for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 and 15.4% for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 . The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by a shift in customer mix where net sales growth of our largest customer outpaced growth of other customers with higher margin and by an increase in inbound freight costs. Operating Expenses 26 Table of Contents Our total operating expenses increased approximately 7.7% , or $92.6 million , to $1.30 billion for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 , from $1.20 billion for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 . As a percentage of net sales, total operating expenses decreased to approximately 12.7% for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 , from approximately 13.0% for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 . The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by leveraging of fixed costs on increased net sales. This was partially offset by $16.1 million of restructuring and impairment charges, which includes a $2.7 million loss on the disposition of assets, recorded for our Earth Origins retail business, which was disposed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, increased costs incurred to fulfill the increased demand for our products and approximately $5.0 million of acquisition related costs associated with the pending SUPERVALU acquisition. Total operating expenses also included share-based compensation expense of $25.8 million and $25.7 million for fiscal 2018 and 2017 , respectively. For more information, refer to Note 3. "Equity Plans" to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report. Operating Income Reflecting the factors described above, operating income increased approximately 0.5% , or $1.2 million , to $227.2 million for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 , from $226.0 million for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 . As a percentage of net sales, operating income was 2.2% and 2.4% for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , respectively. Other Expense (Income) Other expense, net increased $2.9 million to $14.5 million for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 , from $11.6 million for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 . Interest expense for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 decreased to $16.5 million from $17.1 million for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 . The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a reduction in outstanding debt year-over-year. Interest income was $0.4 million for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 . Other income for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 was $1.5 million , compared to other income of $5.2 million for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 . Other income for fiscal 2018 was primarily related to positive returns on the Company's equity method investment. Other income for fiscal 2017 was primarily related to a $6.1 million gain recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 related to the sale of the Company's stake in Kicking Horse Coffee. Provision for Income Taxes Our effective income tax rate was 22.1% and 39.3% for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 was driven by a $15.5 million tax benefit which was recorded as result of the new lower federal tax rate, as well as a net tax benefit of approximately $21.7 million as a result of the impact of the re-measurement of U.S. net deferred tax liabilities at the new lower corporate income tax rate resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA"). Net Income Reflecting the factors described in more detail above, net income increased $35.5 million to $165.7 million , or $3.26 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 , compared to $130.2 million , or $2.56 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 . Fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 compared to fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 Net Sales Our net sales for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 increased approximately 9.5% , or $804.2 million , to $9.27 billion from $8.47 billion for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 . The year-over-year increase in net sales was primarily due to growth in our wholesale segment of $815.0 million . Net sales for fiscal 2017 were positively impacted by acquisitions we consummated in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2016 and the first quarter of fiscal 2017 but were negatively impacted by broad based food retail softness, the rationalization of business in conjunction with margin enhancement initiatives and a lack of inflation. Our net sales for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 were favorably impacted by moderate price inflation of approximately 1% during the year. 27 Table of Contents Our net sales by customer type for the fiscal years ended July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 were as follows (in millions): Customer Type Supernatural Supermarkets Independents Other Total 2017  Net Sales % of Total  Net Sales 2016  Net Sales % of Total  Net Sales $ $ 3,096 2,747 2,427 1,004 9,274 33% $ 30% 26% 11% 100% $ 2,951 2,288 2,291 940 8,470 35% 27% 27% 11% 100% During fiscal 2017, our net sales by channel were adjusted to reflect changes in the classification of customer types from acquisitions we consummated in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2016 and the first quarter of fiscal 2017. There was no financial statement impact as a result of revising the classification of customer types. As a result of this adjustment, net sales to our supermarkets and other channels for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 increased approximately $29 million and $6 million, respectively, compared to the previously reported amounts, while net sales to the independents channel for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 decreased approximately $35 million compared to the previously reported amounts. Whole Foods Market is our only supernatural customer, and net sales to Whole Foods Market for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 increased by approximately $145 million or 4.9% over the prior year and accounted for approximately 33% and 35% of our total net sales for the fiscal years ended July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 , respectively. The increase in net sales to Whole Foods Market was primarily due to new store openings offset in part by lower year over year same store sales at Whole Foods Market. Net sales to our supermarkets channel for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 increased by approximately $459 million , or 20.1% from fiscal 2016 and represented approximately 30% and 27% of total net sales in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 , respectively. The increase in net sales to supermarkets was primarily driven by net sales resulting from our acquisition of Haddon in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Net sales to our independents channel increased by approximately $136 million , or 5.9% during the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 compared to the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 , and accounted for 26% and 27% of our total net sales in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 , respectively. The increase in net sales in this channel was primarily attributable to net sales from our acquisitions during fiscal 2016 and the first quarter of fiscal 2017 as well as growth in our wholesale division, which includes our broadline distribution business. Other net sales, which included sales to foodservice customers and sales from the United States to other countries, as well as sales through our e-commerce business, branded product lines, retail division, manufacturing division, and our brokerage business, increased by approximately $64 million or 6.8% during the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 over the prior fiscal year and accounted for approximately 11% of total net sales in both fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 . The increase in other net sales was attributable to expanded sales to our new and existing foodservice partners and growth in our e-commerce business, as well as net sales resulting from our acquisition of Haddon in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Cost of Sales and Gross Profit Our gross profit increased approximately 11.7% , or $149.6 million , to $1.43 billion for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 , from $1.28 billion for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 . Our gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 15.4% for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 and 15.1% for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 . The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by margin enhancement initiatives and the favorable impact of acquisitions, partially offset by a lack of inflation and competitive pricing pressure. Operating Expenses Our total operating expenses increased approximately 14.0% , or $147.7 million , to $1.20 billion for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 , from $1.06 billion for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 . As a percentage of net sales, total operating expenses increased to approximately 13.0% for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 , from approximately 12.5% for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 . The increase in total operating expenses was primarily attributable to the acquired businesses, which generally have a higher cost to serve their customers. Additionally, the increase was driven by $6.9 million of restructuring expenses as well as higher depreciation and amortization and incentive and stock-based compensation expense, which was partially offset by costs incurred in fiscal 2016 that did not recur in fiscal 2017, including $1.8 million of bad debt expense related to outstanding receivables for a customer who declared bankruptcy in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, $2.2 million of acquisition related costs and $2.5 million of startup costs related to the Company's Gilroy, California facility. Operating expenses for fiscal 2016 also included $5.6 million in restructuring and asset impairment expense. 28 Table of Contents Total operating expenses for fiscal 2017 include share-based compensation expense of $25.7 million , compared to $15.3 million in fiscal 2016 . This increase was primarily due to an increase in performance-based compensation expense related to our long-term incentive plan for members of our executive leadership team. The Company did not record share-based compensation expense related to performance-based share awards in fiscal 2016, as a result of performance measures not being attained at the end of the fiscal year and the resulting forfeiture of these awards. Operating Income Operating income increased approximately 0.9% , or $1.9 million , to $226.0 million for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 , from $224.1 million for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 . As a percentage of net sales, operating income was 2.4% and 2.6% for the fiscal years ended July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 , respectively. Other Expense (Income) Other expense, net decreased $4.3 million to $11.6 million for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 , from $15.9 million for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 . Interest expense for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 increased to $17.1 million from $16.3 million for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 . The increase in interest expense was primarily due to additional borrowings for acquisitions made in the second half of fiscal 2016. Interest income for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 decreased to $0.4 million from $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 . Other income for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 was $5.2 million , compared to other expense of $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 . The increase in other income was primarily driven by a $6.1 million gain recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 related to the sale of the Company's stake in Kicking Horse Coffee. Provision for Income Taxes Our effective income tax rate was 39.3% and 39.6% for the fiscal years ended July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 , respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 was primarily due to the claiming of solar and research and development tax credits that were not available in the prior year. Net Income Reflecting the factors described in more detail above, net income increased $4.4 million to $130.2 million , or $2.56 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 , compared to $125.8 million , or $2.50 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 . Liquidity and Capital Resources We finance our day to day operations and growth primarily with cash flows from operations, borrowings under our Existing ABL Loan Agreement, operating leases, a capital lease, a finance lease, trade payables and bank indebtedness. In addition, from time to time, we may issue debt securities to finance our operations and acquisitions. During the fiscal quarter ended October 28, 2017, we announced our intent to repurchase up to $200.0 million of shares of our common stock. Purchases under this program will be financed with cash generated from our operations and borrowings under our Existing ABL Loan Agreement. The Company has estimated an immaterial impact of the mandatory repatriation provision under the TCJA on earnings due to the foreign tax credits available to the Company. The Company has not recorded a tax provision for U.S. tax purposes on UNFI Canada’s profits as it has no assessable profits arising in or derived from the United States and still intends to indefinitely reinvest accumulated earnings in the UNFI Canada operations. ABL Credit Facility On April 29, 2016, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Existing ABL Loan Agreement”) amending and restating certain terms and provisions of our revolving credit facility (the “Existing ABL Facility”), which increased the maximum borrowings under the Existing ABL Facility and extended the maturity date to April 29, 2021. Up to $850.0 million is available to our U.S. subsidiaries and up to $50.0 million is available to UNFI Canada. After giving effect to the Existing ABL Loan Agreement, the Existing ABL Facility provides an option to increase the U.S. or Canadian revolving commitments by up to an additional $600.0 million in the aggregate (but in not less than $10.0 million increments) subject to certain customary conditions and the lenders committing to provide the increase in funding. The borrowings of the U.S. portion of the Existing ABL Facility after giving effect to the Existing ABL Loan Agreement, accrued interest, at the base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.25% or LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% for the twelve month period ended April 29, 2017. After this period, the interest on the U.S. borrowings is accrued at the Company's option, at either (i) a base rate (generally defined as the highest of (x) the Bank of America Business Capital prime rate, (y) the average overnight federal funds effective rate plus one-half percent (0.50%) per annum and (z) one-month LIBOR plus one percent (1%) 29 Table of Contents per annum) plus an applicable margin that varies depending on daily average aggregate availability, or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin that varies depending on daily average aggregate availability. The borrowings on the Canadian portion of the Existing ABL Facility accrued interest at the Canadian prime rate plus an applicable margin of 0.25% or a bankers' acceptance equivalent rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% for the twelve month period ended April 29, 2017. After this period, the borrowings on the Canadian portion of the Existing ABL Facility accrue interest, at the Company's option, at either (i) a Canadian prime rate (generally defined as the highest of (x) 0.50% over 30-day Reuters Canadian Deposit Offering Rate ("CDOR") for bankers' acceptances, (y) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A.'s Canada branch, and (z) a bankers' acceptance equivalent rate for a one month interest period plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin that varies depending on daily average aggregate availability, or (ii) a bankers' acceptance equivalent rate of the rate of interest per annum equal to the annual rates applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers' acceptances on the "CDOR Page" of Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service, plus five basis points, and an applicable margin that varies depending on daily average aggregate availability. Unutilized commitments are subject to an annual fee in the amount of 0.30% if the total outstanding borrowings are less than 25% of the aggregate commitments, or a per annum fee of 0.25% if such total outstanding borrowings are 25% or more of the aggregate commitments. The Company is also required to pay a letter of credit fronting fee to each letter of credit issuer equal to 0.125% per annum of the stated amount of each such letter of credit (or such other amount as may be mutually agreed by the borrowers under the facility and the applicable letter of credit issuer), as well as a fee to all lenders equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR or bankers’ acceptance equivalent rate loans, as applicable, times the average daily stated amount of all outstanding letters of credit. As of July 28, 2018 , the Company's borrowing base, which is calculated based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory levels, net of $4.2 million of reserves, was $884.5 million . As of July 28, 2018 , the Company had $210.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Existing ABL Facility and $24.3 million in letter of credit commitments which reduced the Company's available borrowing capacity under the Existing ABL Facility on a dollar for dollar basis. The Company's resulting remaining availability was $650.2 million as of July 28, 2018 . The Existing ABL Facility subjects us to a springing minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Existing ABL Loan Agreement) of 1.0 to 1.0 calculated at the end of each of our fiscal quarters on a rolling four quarter basis when the adjusted aggregate availability (as defined in the Existing ABL Loan Agreement) is less than the greater of (i) $60.0 million and (ii) 10% of the aggregate borrowing base. We were not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the Existing ABL Loan Agreement during the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 . The Company has pledged the majority of its and its subsidiaries' accounts receivable and inventory to secure its obligations under the Existing ABL Loan Agreement. In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement with SUPERVALU, the Company obtained a debt financing commitment on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a commitment letter dated July 25, 2018 (the “Commitment Letter”) from Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC consisting of, among other things, (i) a senior secured asset-based revolving facility (the “New ABL Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000 million that will be used to replace the Existing ABL Facility and (ii) a senior secured term loan credit facility (the “New Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $2,050 million. The Commitment Letter was amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter dated August 7, 2018, from Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Bank of America, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and further amended and restated by the Second Amended and Restated Commitment Letter dated August 8, 2018, from Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Bank of America, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association and as further amended by Amendment No. 1 to Second Amended and Restated Commitment Letter dated September 21, 2018, (the “Amended Commitment Letter”). On August 30, 2018 (the “Signing Date”), the Company, entered into a Loan Agreement (the “New ABL Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company and United Natural Foods West, Inc. (together with the Company, the “U.S. Borrowers”) and UNFI Canada, Inc. (the “Canadian Borrower” and, together with the U.S. Borrowers, the “Borrowers”), the financial institutions that are parties thereto as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “ABL Administrative Agent”), Bank of America, N.A. (acting through its Canada branch), as Canadian agent for the Lenders (the “Canadian Agent”), and the other parties thereto. As of the Signing Date and as a result of the Company’s entry into the New ABL Loan Agreement, all of the commitments under the Amended Commitment Letter with respect to the Existing ABL Loan Agreement have been terminated and permanently reduced to zero. The commitment with respect to the New Term Loan Facility under the Amended Commitment Letter remain unchanged. The New ABL Loan Agreement provides for the New ABL Credit Facility (the loans thereunder, the “Loans”), of which up to (i) $1,950.0 million is available to the U.S. Borrowers and (ii) $50.0 million is available to the Canadian Borrower. The New ABL Loan Agreement also provides for (i) a $125.0 million sublimit of availability for letters of credit of which there is a further $5.0 million sublimit for the Canadian Borrower and (ii) a $100.0 million sublimit for short-term borrowings on a swingline basis of which there is a further $3.5 million sublimit for the Canadian Borrower. Under the New ABL Loan Agreement, the Borrowers 30 Table of Contents may, at their option, increase the aggregate amount of the New ABL Credit Facility in an amount of up to $600.0 million (but in not less than $10.0 million increments) without the consent of any Lenders not participating in such increase, subject to certain customary conditions and applicable lenders committing to provide the increase in funding. There is no assurance that additional funding would be available. The New ABL Credit Facility will be secured by (i) a first-priority lien on all of our and our domestic subsidiaries' accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets arising therefrom or related thereto (including, without limitation, substantially all of their deposit accounts, collectively, the "ABL Assets") and (ii) a second-priority lien on all of our and our domestic subsidiaries' assets that do not constitute ABL Assets, in each case, subject to customary exceptions and limitations on the date of consummation of the acquisition of SUPERVALU pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Closing Date”). Availability under the New ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base”), which is based on 90% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 90% of eligible credit card receivable, plus 90% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, plus 90% of eligible pharmacy receivables, plus certain pharmacy scripts availability of the Borrowers, after adjusting for customary reserves that are subject to the ABL Administrative Agent’s discretion. The aggregate amount of the Loans made and letters of credit issued under the New ABL Credit Facility shall at no time exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments under the New ABL Credit Facility (currently $2,000.0 million or, if increased at the Borrowers’ option as described above, up to $2,600 million) or the Borrowing Base. To the extent that the Borrowers’ eligible accounts receivable, eligible credit card receivables, eligible inventory, eligible pharmacy receivables and pharmacy scripts availability decline, the Borrowing Base will decrease, and the availability under the New ABL Credit Facility may decrease below $2,000.0 million; provided that, on the Closing Date and until the ninetieth day after the Closing Date, regardless of the calculation of the Borrowing Base on the Closing Date, the Borrowing Base shall be deemed to be no less than $1,500.0 million; provided , further , that if the ABL Administrative Agent receives certain field examinations and appraisals prior to the Closing Date and if the Borrowing Base would, without giving effect to the foregoing proviso, be less than or equal to $1,500.0 million, then the Borrowing Base shall be deemed to be the greater of (x) the Borrowing Base without giving effect to the foregoing proviso and (y) $1,300.0 million on the Closing Date until the ninetieth day after the Closing Date. The borrowings of the U.S. Borrowers under the New ABL Credit Facility bear interest at rates that, at the Company’s option, can be either: (i) a base rate generally defined as the sum of (x) the highest of (a) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (b) the average overnight federal funds effective rate plus one-half percent (0.50%) per annum and (c) one-month LIBOR plus one percent (1%) per annum and (y) an applicable margin or (ii) LIBOR rate generally defined as the sum of (x) the London Interbank Offered Rate (as published on the applicable Reuters screen page, or other commercially available source) and (y) an applicable margin. The initial applicable margin for base rate loans is 0.25%, and the initial applicable margin for LIBOR loans is 1.25%. Commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the ABL Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending on or about October 27, 2018, and quarterly thereafter, the applicable margins for borrowings by the U.S. Borrowers will be subject to adjustment based upon the aggregate availability under the New ABL Credit Facility. Interest on the U.S. Borrowers’ borrowings is payable monthly in arrears for base rate loans and at the end of each interest rate period (but not less often than quarterly) for LIBOR loans. The borrowings of the Canadian Borrower under the New ABL Credit Facility bear interest at rates that, at the Canadian Borrower’s option, can be either: (i) prime rate generally defined as the sum of (x) the highest of (a) 30-day Reuters Canadian Deposit Offering Rate for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances plus one-half percent (0.50%) per annum, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A.’s Canada branch, and (c) a Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptance equivalent rate for a one month interest period plus one percent (1%) per annum and (y) an applicable margin or (ii) a Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptance equivalent rate generally defined as the sum of (x) the rate of interest per annum equal to the annual rates applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances on the “CDOR Page” of Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service, and (y) an applicable margin. This is the exclusive method of interest accrual for loans that are not Canadian swingline loans, Canadian overadvance loans or Canadian protective advances. The initial applicable margin for prime rate loans is 0.25%, and the initial applicable margin for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptance equivalent rate loans is 1.25%. Commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the ABL Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending on or about October 27, 2018, and quarterly thereafter, the applicable margins for borrowings by the Canadian Borrower will be subject to adjustment based upon the aggregate availability under the New ABL Credit Facility. Interest on the Canadian Borrower’s borrowings is payable monthly in arrears for prime rate loans and at the end of each interest rate period (but not less often than quarterly) for bankers’ acceptance equivalent rate loans. Unutilized commitments under the New ABL Credit Facility are subject to a per annum fee of (i) from and after the Closing Date through and including the first day of the calendar month that is three months following the Closing Date, 0.375% and (ii) thereafter, (x) 0.375% if the total outstandings were less than 25% of the aggregate commitments, or (y) 0.25% if such total outstandings were 25% or more of the aggregate commitments. The Borrowers are also required to pay a letter of credit fronting fee to each letter of credit issuer equal to 0.125% per annum of the amount available to be drawn under each such letter of credit (or such other amount as may be mutually agreed by the Borrowers and the applicable letter of credit issuer), as well as a fee to all lenders equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR or Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptance equivalent rate loans, as applicable, times the average daily amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit. 31 Table of Contents The obligations of the Lenders to provide Loans under the New ABL Loan Agreement on the Closing Date are subject to a number of customary conditions, including, without limitation, the consummation of the Merger (which must occur by January 25, 2019, subject to extension in certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of Merger Agreement) and execution and delivery by the Borrowers and the guarantors of definitive documentation consistent with the New ABL Loan Agreement and the documentation standards specified therein. The Company expects to fund its acquisition of SUPERVALU with, among other sources, borrowings under the New ABL Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Amended Commitment Letter, the Company may use the entire amount of the proceeds of the New Term Loan Facility and up to $1,200.0 million (plus an amount necessary to pay certain fees or original issues discount) of the proceeds from the New ABL Credit Facility to finance the Merger and the transaction costs. In addition to funding the acquisition price to acquire SUPERVALU, the Company expects to refinance and repay substantially all of SUPERVALU's existing debt. Term Loan Facility On August 14, 2014, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a real estate backed term loan agreement as amended by the First Amendment Agreement, dated April 29, 2016, and the Second Amendment Agreement, dated September 1, 2016, the "Existing Term Loan Agreement"). The total initial borrowings under our term loan facility were $150.0 million. We are required to make $2.5 million principal payments quarterly. Under the Existing Term Loan Agreement, we at our option may request the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments in increments of at least $10.0 million, but not to exceed $50.0 million in total, subject to the approval of the Lenders electing to participate in such incremental loans and the satisfaction of the conditions required by the Existing Term Loan Agreement. Proceeds from this Existing Term Loan Agreement were used to pay down borrowings under the Existing ABL Loan Agreement. Borrowings under the Existing Term Loan Agreement bear interest at rates that, at the Company's option, can be either: (1) a base rate generally defined as the sum of (i) the highest of (x) the administrative agent's prime rate, (y) the average overnight federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (z) one-month LIBOR plus one percent (1%) per annum and (ii) a margin of 0.75%; or, (2) a LIBOR rate generally defined as the sum of (i) LIBOR (as published by Reuters or other commercially available source) for one, two, three or six months or, if approved by all affected lenders, nine months (all as selected by the Company), and (ii) a margin of 1.75%. Interest accrued on borrowings under the Existing Term Loan Agreement is payable in arrears. Interest accrued on any LIBOR loan is payable on the last day of the interest period applicable to the loan and, with respect to any LIBOR loan of more than three (3) months, on the last day of every three (3) months of such interest period. Interest accrued on base rate loans is payable on the first day of every month. The Company is also required to pay certain customary fees to the administrative agent. The borrowers’ obligations under the Existing Term Loan Agreement are secured by certain parcels of the borrowers’ real property. The Existing Term Loan Agreement includes financial covenants that require (i) the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) minus the unfinanced portion of Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to our consolidated Fixed Charges (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to be at least 1.20 to 1.00 as of the end of any period of four fiscal quarters, (ii) the ratio of our Consolidated Funded Debt (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to our EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters most recently ended to be not more than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter and (iii) the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of our outstanding principal balance under the Loans (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement), divided by the Mortgaged Property Value (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to be not more than 75% at any time. As of July 28, 2018 , the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Existing Term Loan Agreement. As of July 28, 2018 , the Company had borrowings of $108.8 million , net of debt issuance costs of $1.2 million , under the Existing Term Loan Agreement which is included in “Long-term debt” in the consolidated balance sheet. On August 22, 2018, the Company notified its lenders that it intends to prepay its borrowings outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Agreement on October 1, 2018, which were approximately $110.0 million as of July 28, 2018. The Existing Term Loan Agreement was previously scheduled to terminate on the earlier of (a) August 14, 2022 and (b) the date that is ninety days prior to the termination date of the Existing ABL Loan Agreement. Concurrently with the prepayment of borrowings outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Agreement, the Company intends to draw on its Existing ABL Loan Agreement in an amount equal to its Existing Term Loan Agreement prepayment amount. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Commitment Letter, on the Closing Date, concurrently with the consummation of the Merger, the Company will enter into a new term loan agreement (the “New Term Loan Agreement”) providing for the New Term Loan Facility. Under the terms of the Amended Commitment Letter, the New Term Loan Facility will consist of a $2,050 million senior secured term loan facility. The New Term Loan Facility will have a term of seven years and will be secured by (i) a first-priority lien on all of our and our domestic subsidiaries' assets that do not constitute ABL Assets (defined in the immediately succeeding clause) and (ii) a second-priority lien on all of our and our domestic subsidiaries' accounts receivable, inventory and certain other 32 Table of Contents assets arising therefrom or related thereto (including, without limitation, substantially all of their deposit accounts, collectively, the "ABL Assets"), in each case, subject to customary exceptions and limitations on the Closing Date. We expect that the New Term Loan Agreement will have customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are generally consistent with our New ABL Loan Agreement. The closing of the New Term Loan Facility will be subject to customary conditions precedent, including the negotiation and execution of final documentation and consummation of the Merger. Interest Swap Agreements On January 23, 2015, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with an effective date of August 3, 2015, which expires in August 2022 concurrent with the scheduled maturity of our Existing Term Loan Agreement. This interest rate swap agreement has a notional amount of $112.5 million and provides for the Company to pay interest for a seven-year period at a fixed rate of 1.795% while receiving interest for the same period at the one-month LIBOR on the same notional principal amount. The interest rate swap agreement has an amortizing notional amount which adjusts down on the dates payments are due on the underlying term loan. The interest rate swap has been entered into as a hedge against LIBOR movements on $112.5 million of the variable rate indebtedness under the Existing Term Loan Agreement at one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% and a margin of 1.50%, thereby fixing our effective rate on the notional amount at 4.295%. The swap agreement qualifies as an “effective” hedge under Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 815 Derivatives and Hedging . On June 7, 2016, the Company entered into two pay fixed and receive floating interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix the underlying variable rate debt on the Existing ABL Loan Agreement. The first agreement has an effective date of June 9, 2016 and expires in June of 2019. This interest rate swap agreement has a notional principal amount of $50.0 million and provides for the Company to pay interest for a three-year period at a fixed annual rate of 0.8725% while receiving interest for the same period at one-month LIBOR on the same notional principal amount. This swap, in conjunction with the Existing ABL Loan Agreement, effectively fixes the interest rate on the $50.0 million notional amount. The second agreement has an effective date of June 9, 2016 and expires concurrent with the scheduled maturity of our Existing ABL Loan Agreement in April of 2021. This interest rate swap agreement has a notional principal amount of $25.0 million and provides for the Company to pay interest for a five-year period at a fixed rate of 1.065% while receiving interest for the same period at one-month LIBOR on the same notional principal amount. This swap, in conjunction with the Existing ABL Loan Agreement, effectively fixes the interest rate on the $25.0 million notional amount. The swap agreement qualifies as an “effective” hedge under Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 815 Derivatives and Hedging . On June 24, 2016, the Company entered into two additional pay fixed and receive floating interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix the underlying variable rate debt on the Existing ABL Loan Agreement. The first agreement has an effective date of July 24, 2016 and expires in June of 2019. This interest rate swap agreement has a notional principal amount of $50.0 million and provides for the Company to pay interest for a three year period at a fixed annual rate of 0.7265% while receiving interest for the same period at one-month LIBOR on the same notional principal amount. This swap, in conjunction with the Existing ABL Loan Agreement, effectively fixes the interest rate on the $50.0 million notional amount. The second agreement has an effective date of July 24, 2016 and expires concurrent with the scheduled maturity of Existing ABL Loan Agreement in April of 2021. This interest rate swap agreement has a notional principal amount of $25.0 million and provides for the Company to pay interest for a five year period at a fixed rate of 0.9260% while receiving interest for the same period at one-month LIBOR on the same notional principal amount. This swap, in conjunction with the Existing ABL Loan Agreement, effectively fixes the interest rate on the $25.0 million notional amount. The swap agreement qualifies as an “effective” hedge under Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 815 Derivatives and Hedging . Our capital expenditures for the 2018 fiscal year were $44.6 million , compared to $56.1 million for fiscal 2017 , a decrease of $11.5 million . Excluding the SUPERVALU acquisition, capital expenditures are expected to be 1.5% to 1.7% of net sales, driven by capacity expansion projects. We are committed to these particular capital projects with a strong financial return, with or without the impact of the pending SUPERVALU acquisition. On a combined basis with SUPERVALU and over the long-term, we expect the combined company's capital expenditures, as a percentage of net sales, to be approximately 1.0% of net sales, which excludes capital growth assumptions related to optimizing our capacity and IT spending going forward. We expect to finance requirements with cash generated from operations and borrowings under our New ABL Credit Facility. Our planned capital projects for fiscal 2019 will be focused on the expansion of distribution center capacity in certain geographies and integration efforts related to the pending acquisition of SUPERVALU. Future investments may be financed through long-term debt or borrowings under our New ABL Credit Facility. Other Net cash provided by operations was $109.5 million for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 , a decrease of $171.3 million from the $280.8 million provided by operations for the year ended July 29, 2017 . The primary reasons for the net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2018 were net income for the year of $165.7 million , which included depreciation and amortization 33 Table of Contents of $87.6 million , and share based compensation expense of $25.8 million , offset by increases in inventory and accounts receivable of $108.8 million and $67.3 million , respectively. Net cash provided by operations of $280.8 million for the year ended July 29, 2017 was primarily due to net income for the year of $130.2 million , which included depreciation and amortization of $86.1 million , and an increase in accounts payable of $90.2 million , offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $38.8 million . Days in inventory was 48 days at July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 . Days sales outstanding was 21 at July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 . Working capital increased by $131.0 million , or 13.7% , to $1.09 billion at July 28, 2018 , compared to working capital of $958.7 million at July 29, 2017 . This increase was primarily as a result of an increase in inventory to support increased demand for our products. Net cash used in investing activities decreased approximately $13.0 million to $47.0 million for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 , compared to $60.0 million for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 . This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash paid for acquisitions of $9.2 million and a $11.5 million decrease in capital spending. Net cash used in financing activities was $54.0 million for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 . The net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to repayments of borrowings under our Existing ABL Facility of $569.7 million share repurchases of $24.2 million and repayments of long-term debt of $12.1 million , partially offset by proceeds from borrowings under our Existing ABL Facility of $556.1 million . Net cash used in financing activities was $224.6 million for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 and was primarily due to repayments of borrowings under our Existing ABL Facility and long term debt of $418.7 million and $11.5 million , respectively, partially offset by proceeds from borrowings under our Existing ABL Facility of $215.7 million . From time-to-time we enter into fixed price fuel supply agreements. As of July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , we were not a party to any such agreements. We were party to a contract during fiscal 2017, which required us to purchase a total of approximately 6.1 million gallons of diesel fuel at prices ranging from $1.76 to $3.18 per gallon through December 2016 . All of these fixed price fuel agreements qualified and were accounted for under the "normal purchase" exception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging as physical deliveries occurred rather than net settlements, and therefore the fuel purchases under these contracts have been expensed as incurred and included within operating expenses. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Securities and Exchange Commission has defined critical accounting policies as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require our most difficult, complex or subjective judgments or estimates. Based on this definition, we believe our critical accounting policies are: (i) determining our reserves for the self-insured portions of our workers' compensation and automobile liabilities, (ii) valuing assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations; (iii) valuing goodwill and intangible assets; and (iv) income taxes. For all financial statement periods presented, there have been no material modifications to the application of these critical accounting policies. Insurance reserves We are primarily self-insured for workers' compensation and general and automobile liability insurance. It is our policy to record the self-insured portions of our workers' compensation and automobile liabilities based upon actuarial methods of estimating the future cost of claims and related expenses that have been reported but not settled, and that have been incurred but not yet reported. Any projection of losses concerning workers' compensation and automobile liability is subject to a considerable degree of variability. Among the causes of this variability are unpredictable external factors affecting litigation trends, benefit level changes and claim settlement patterns. If actual claims incurred are greater than those anticipated, our reserves may be insufficient and additional costs could be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. Accruals for workers' compensation and automobile liabilities totaled $25.0 million and $22.8 million as of July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , respectively. Valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination We account for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of the acquisition at their respective estimated fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired, as well as the estimated useful life of each asset, can materially impact the net income of the periods subsequent to the acquisition through depreciation and amortization, and in certain instances through impairment charges, if the asset becomes impaired in the future. In determining the estimated fair value for intangible assets, we typically utilize the income approach, which discounts the projected future net cash flow using an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risks associated with such projected future cash flow. 34 Table of Contents Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment, as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives and certain assets may even be considered to have indefinite useful lives. Intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life are reassessed periodically based on the expected use of the asset by us, legal or contractual provisions that may affect the useful life or renewal or extension of the asset’s contractual life without substantial cost, and the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors . Valuation of goodwill and intangible assets We are required to test goodwill for impairment at least annually, and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We have elected to perform our annual tests for indications of goodwill impairment as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is at or one level below the operating segment level. As of July 28, 2018 , approximately 97.2% of our goodwill is within our wholesale reporting segment. Total goodwill as of July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 was $362.5 million and $371.3 million , respectively. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment , ("ASU 2011-08"), the Company is allowed to perform a qualitative assessment for goodwill impairment unless it believes it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than the carrying value. The thresholds used by the Company for this determination in fiscal 2018 were for any reporting units that (1) have passed their previous quantitative test with a margin of calculated fair value versus carrying value of at least 20% , (2) have had a quantitative test within the past five years, (3) have had no significant changes to their working capital structure, (4) have current year income which is at least 85% of prior year amounts, and (5) present no other factors to be considered as outlined in ASU 2011-08. The Company's reporting units are at or one level below the operating segment level. For reporting units which do not meet this exclusion, the quantitative goodwill impairment analysis is performed in accordance with ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , (“ASU- 2017-04”), which the Company early adopted as part of its fiscal 2017 annual goodwill impairment test. This analysis involves comparing each reporting unit's estimated fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. Each reporting unit regularly prepares discrete operating forecasts and uses these forecasts as the basis for the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further testing is required. During fiscal 2018 the Company recorded a total impairment charge of $7.9 million to goodwill related to its Earth Origins retail business. Refer to Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies", and Note 5, "Restructuring Activities", to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report for further detail. The Company performed a qualitative test on its other reporting units during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 based on the criteria noted above and determined that a quantitative test was not required. Intangible assets and other long lived assets with finite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Cash flows expected to be generated by the related assets are estimated over the asset's useful life based on updated projections. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, the potential impairment is measured based on a projected discounted cash flow model. Impairment is measured as the difference between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value. In accordance with ASU No. 2011-08, the Company is allowed to perform a qualitative assessment for indefinite lived intangible assets unless it believes it is more likely than not that an intangible asset's fair value is less than the carrying value. The thresholds used by the Company for this determination in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 were for any intangible assets (or groups of assets) that (1) have passed their previous quantitative test with a margin of calculated fair value versus carrying value of at least 20% , (2) have had a quantitative test performed within the past five years, and (3) have current year income which is at least 85% of the immediately preceding fiscal year's amounts. As of July 28, 2018 , our annual assessment of each of our intangible assets with indefinite lives indicated that no impairment existed. Total indefinite lived intangible assets as of July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 were $55.8 million and $55.8 million , respectively. Total finite-lived intangible assets as of July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 were $137.4 million and $152.5 million , respectively. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured 35 Table of Contents using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The calculation of the Company's tax liabilities includes addressing uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations and is based on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Addressing these uncertainties requires judgment and estimates; however, actual results could differ, and we may be exposed to losses or gains. Our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be affected based on favorable or unfavorable tax settlements. Unfavorable tax settlements will generally require the use of cash and may result in an increase to our effective tax rate in the period of resolution. Favorable tax settlements may be recognized as a reduction to our effective tax rate in the period of resolution. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation under the TCJA. The TCJA makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018. Shortly after the TCJA was enacted, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued accounting guidance, which provides a one-year measurement period during which a company may complete its accounting for the impacts of the TCJA. To the extent a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA is incomplete, the company may determine a reasonable estimate for those effects and record a provisional estimate in its financial statements. See “Note 12 Income Taxes” for further effects of the new tax legislation on the Company. Commitments and Contingencies The following schedule summarizes our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of July 28, 2018 : Total Less than One Year Payments Due by Period 1–3 Years (in thousands) 3–5 Years Thereafter Inventory purchase commitments Notes payable (1) Long-term debt (2) Deferred compensation Multi-employer plan withdrawal liability Long-term non-capitalized leases Total $ $ 15,873 $ 15,873 $ — $ 210,000 151,314 6,708 3,380 231,740 619,015 $ — 12,441 1,147 100 64,688 210,000 106,019 1,725 220 89,362 94,249 $ 407,326 $ — $ — 7,618 1,487 251 46,804 56,160 $ — — 25,236 2,349 2,809 30,886 61,280 (1) The notes payable obligations shown reflect the expiration of the Existing ABL Loan Agreement, not necessarily the underlying individual borrowings. Notes payable does not include outstanding letters of credit of approximately $24.3 million at July 28, 2018 or approximately $13.0 million in interest payments (including unused lines fees) projected to be due in future years (less than 1 year – $6.3 million ; 1-3 years – $5.5 million ; and 3-5 years – $1.2 million ) based on the variable rates in effect at July 28, 2018 . Variable rates, as well as outstanding principal balances, could change in future periods. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" above and Note 7 "Notes Payable" to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report for a discussion of our credit facility. (2) Long-term debt does not include interest payments projected to be due in future years related to our capital lease obligations and the Existing Term Loan Agreement, which amount to approximately $20.9 million and $10.8 million , respectively (less than 1 year - $6.7 million ; 1-3 years - $11.7 million ; 3-5 years - $8.5 million ; thereafter - $4.8 million ). See Note 8 "Long-Term Debt" to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report for a discussion of our long-term debt. Included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at July 28, 2018 are uncertain tax positions including potential interest and penalties of $0.9 million that have been taken or are expected to be taken in various income tax returns. The Company does not know the ultimate resolution of these uncertain tax positions and as such, does not know the ultimate timing of payments related to this liability. Accordingly, these amounts are not included in the table above. 36       Table of Contents Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards For a discussion of recently issued financial accounting standards, refer to Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies ," to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report on for further detail. ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. We are exposed to interest rate fluctuations on our borrowings. As more fully described in Note 9 "Fair Value Measurements" to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report, we have used interest rate swap agreements to modify certain of our variable rate obligations to fixed rate obligations. At July 28, 2018 , we had long-term floating rate debt under the Existing ABL Loan Agreement of $210.0 million and our Existing Term Loan Agreement of $110.0 million , gross of deferred financing costs, and long-term fixed rate debt of $41.3 million , representing 88.6% and 11.4% , respectively, of our long-term borrowings. At July 29, 2017 , we had long-term floating rate debt under the Existing ABL Loan Agreement of $223.6 million and our Existing Term Loan Agreement of $120.0 million , gross of deferred financing costs, and long-term fixed rate debt of $43.4 million , representing 88.8% and 11.2% , respectively, of our long-term borrowings. Holding other debt levels constant, a 25 basis point increase in interest rates would change the unrealized fair market value of our fixed rate debt by approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , respectively. 37 Table of Contents ITEM 8.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The financial statements listed below are filed as part of this Annual Report.

We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 28, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 28, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 28, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Basis for Opinions The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1993.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business United Natural Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a leading distributor of natural, organic and specialty products. The Company sells its products primarily throughout the United States and Canada. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The fiscal year of the Company ends on the Saturday closest to July 31. Fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 ended on July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 , respectively. Fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 contained 52 weeks. Each of the Company's interim quarters within fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 consisted of 13 weeks. Net sales consist primarily of sales of natural, organic and specialty products to retailers, adjusted for customer volume discounts, returns and allowances. Net sales also include amounts charged by the Company to customers for shipping and handling, and fuel surcharges. The principal components of cost of sales include the amounts paid to suppliers for product sold, plus the cost of transportation necessary to bring the product to the Company's distribution facilities, offset by consideration received from suppliers in connection with the purchase or promotion of the suppliers' products. Cost of sales also includes amounts incurred by the Company's manufacturing subsidiary, United Natural Trading LLC, which does business as Woodstock Farms Manufacturing, for inbound transportation costs and depreciation for manufacturing equipment, offset by consideration received from suppliers in connection with the purchase or promotion of the suppliers' products. Operating expenses include salaries and wages, employee benefits, warehousing and delivery, selling, occupancy, insurance, administrative, share-based compensation, depreciation, and amortization expense. The Company disposed of its retail division in fiscal 2018. Other expense (income) includes interest on outstanding indebtedness, interest income and miscellaneous income and expenses. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based on amounts that differ from those estimates. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company opened its shared services center which established a centralized processing function for certain of its legal entities. As a result of the growth in net sales and inventory in fiscal 2018, the changes in processing, and the resulting increase in the Company’s estimate of its accrual for inventory purchases, the Company initiated a review of its supplier invoicing processes and undertook a review of its estimate of its accrual for inventory purchases. The Company typically generates purchase orders to initiate the procurement process for the products it sells, and orders are subsequently fulfilled by suppliers and delivered to the Company. In certain situations, inventory purchased by the Company may be delivered to the Company prior to the supplier sending the Company an associated invoice. When the Company receives inventory from a supplier before the supplier invoice is received, the Company customarily accrues for liabilities associated with this received but not invoiced inventory as its accrual for inventory purchases. During the 13 and 39-week periods ended April 28, 2018 the Company experienced an increased volume in its accrual for inventory purchases. When the Company receives a supplier invoice subsequent to a period end, the invoice is reconciled to the accrual for inventory purchases account. Due to the large volumes of orders and SKUs, and pricing and quantity differences between the supplier invoice and the Company’s records, at times only a portion of the accrual for inventory purchases is able to be matched to the supplier invoice. Historically, the Company relieved any unresolved and partially matched amounts in its accrual for inventory purchases when such amounts were substantially matched or aged past twelve months as it was determined that a liability was no longer considered probable at that point. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company finalized its analysis and review of its accrual for inventory purchases, including a historical data analysis of unmatched and partially matched amounts that were aged greater than twelve months and the ultimate resolution of such aged accruals. Based on its analysis, the Company determined that it could reasonably estimate the outcome of its partially matched supplier invoices upon receipt of such invoice rather than when the amount was aged greater than twelve 45 Table of Contents months and a liability was no longer considered probable. As a result of this change in estimate, accounts payable was reduced by $20.9 million , resulting in an increase to net income of $13.9 million , or $0.27 per diluted share, for both the 13 and the 39-weeks ended April 28, 2018. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Inventories and Cost of Sales Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Allowances received from suppliers are recorded as reductions in cost of sales upon the sale of the related products. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Equipment under capital leases is stated at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease or the fair value of the asset. Property and equipment includes the non-cash expenditures made by the landlord for the Aurora, Colorado distribution center in addition to office space utilized as the Company's Corporate headquarters in Providence, Rhode Island as the lease qualifies for capital lease treatment pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840, Leases . Property and equipment also includes accumulated depreciation with respect to these items. Refer to Note 8, "Long-Term Debt", for additional information. Applicable interest charges incurred during the construction of new facilities may be capitalized as one of the elements of cost and are amortized over the assets' estimated useful lives. The Company capitalized $0.4 million of interest during the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 related to the construction of the Company's distribution center in Gilroy, California which began operations in February 2016. The Company did no t capitalize interest during the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 . Property and equipment consisted of the following at July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 : Land Buildings and improvements Leasehold improvements Warehouse equipment Office equipment Computer software Motor vehicles Construction in progress Less accumulated depreciation and amortization Net property and equipment Original Estimated Useful Lives (Years) 2018 2017 (In thousands, except years) $ 52,929 $ 20-40 5-20 3-30 3-10 3-7 3-7 446,665 106,014 185,669 85,734 155,329 4,884 22,105 1,059,329 488,183 $ 571,146 $ 52,989 396,733 138,466 173,591 95,794 147,647 4,657 17,968 1,027,845 425,755 602,090 Depreciation expense amounted to $71.5 million , $69.8 million and $61.1 million for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 , respectively. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. 46   Table of Contents We record liabilities to address uncertain tax positions we have taken in previously filed tax returns or that we expect to take in a future tax return. The determination for required liabilities is based upon an analysis of each individual tax position, taking into consideration whether it is more likely than not that our tax position, based on technical merits, will be sustained upon examination. For those positions for which we conclude it is more likely than not it will be sustained, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. The difference between the amount recognized and the total tax position is recorded as a liability. The ultimate resolution of these tax positions may be greater or less than the liabilities recorded. Long-Lived Assets Management reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Cash flows expected to be generated by the related assets are estimated over the assets' useful lives based on updated projections. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the potential impairment is measured based on a fair value discounted cash flow model. Goodwill and Intangible Assets We account for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of the acquisition at their respective estimated fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. In determining the estimated fair value for intangible assets, we typically utilize the income approach, which discounts the projected future net cash flow using an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risks associated with such projected future cash flow. Refer to Note 2, "Acquisitions" , for further detail on the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets related to specific acquisitions. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the following lives: Customer relationships Non-competition agreements Trademarks and tradenames 7-20 years 1-10 years 4-10 years Goodwill is assigned to the reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination that generated the goodwill. Approximately 97.2% of the Company's goodwill is within its wholesale reporting segment as of July 28, 2018 . The Company is required to test goodwill for impairment at least annually, and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company has elected to perform its annual assessment for indications of goodwill impairment as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, ("ASU 2011-08") the Company is allowed to perform a qualitative assessment for goodwill impairment unless it believes it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than the carrying value. The thresholds used by the Company for this determination in fiscal 2018 were for any reporting units that (1) have passed their previous quantitative test with a margin of calculated fair value versus carrying value of at least 20% , (2) have had a quantitative test within the past five years, (3) have had no significant changes to their working capital structure, (4) have current year income which is at least 85% of prior year amounts, and (5) present no other factors to be considered as outlined in ASU 2011-08. The Company's reporting units are at or one level below the operating segment level. In accordance with accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , (“ASU- 2017-04”), which the Company early adopted as part of its fiscal 2017 annual goodwill impairment test, the Company is no longer required to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment is measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company made the decision to close three under-performing stores related to its Earth Origins Market ("Earth Origins") retail business. This decision coupled with the decline in results in the first half of fiscal 2018 and the future outlook as a result of competitive pressure, the Company determined that a goodwill impairment analysis should be performed based on the assertion that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was below its 47 Table of Contents carrying amount. As a result of the analysis, performed in accordance with ASU 2017-04, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of $7.9 million to goodwill. Refer to Note 5, "Restructuring Activities", for additional information. The Company performed a qualitative test on its other reporting units as of the first day of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 based on the criteria noted above and determined that a quantitative test was not required. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter and if events occur or circumstances change that would indicate that the value of the asset may be impaired. Impairment is measured as the difference between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value. In accordance with ASU No. 2011-08, the Company is allowed to perform a qualitative assessment for indefinite lived intangible assets unless it believes it is more likely than not that an intangible asset's fair value is less than the carrying value. The thresholds used by the Company for this determination as of the first day of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 were for any intangible assets (or groups of assets) that (1) have passed their previous quantitative test with a margin of calculated fair value versus carrying value of at least 20% , (2) have had a quantitative test performed within the past five years, and (3) the component that the asset relates to has current year income which is at least 85% of the immediately preceding fiscal year's amounts. The Company's indefinite lived intangible assets are comprised of its branded product line asset group and a Tony's Fine Foods ("Tony's") tradename. During fiscal 2018 , the Company performed its annual qualitative assessment of its indefinite lived intangible assets and based on the criteria noted above, it was determined that a quantitative analysis was required on its Tony's tradename. Based on the results of its quantitative test performed, the Company determined that the carrying value was in excess of its fair value and no impairment existed.

The estimated future amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter on definite lived intangible assets existing as of July 28, 2018 is shown below: 48     Table of Contents Fiscal Year: 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2023 and thereafter Investments $ (In thousands) 15,147 14,520 13,622 12,337 12,845 68,937 $ 137,408 The Company has long term investments in unconsolidated entities which it accounts for using either the cost method or the equity method of accounting. Investments in which the Company cannot exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee are recorded at their historical cost. Investments where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for using the equity method, with income or loss attributable to the Company from the investee adjusting the carrying value of the investment and recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company's cost and equity method investments are evaluated for other than temporary impairment in accordance with ASC 320 Investments — Debt and Equity Securities . The carrying values of both cost and equity method investments were not material as of July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , either individually or in the aggregate, and are included within "Other Assets" in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Income attributable to the Company from investments accounted for using the equity method was not material for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 and is recorded in “Other, net,” within "Other expense (income)," in the Company's consolidated statements of income. On May 24, 2017, the Company sold its stake in Kicking Horse Coffee, a Canadian roaster and marketer of organic and fair trade coffee, which was accounted for using the cost method of accounting. As a result of the sale, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $6.1 million , which is included in “Other, net” in the consolidated statements of income. Revenue Recognition and Concentration of Credit Risk The Company records revenue upon delivery of products. Revenues are recorded net of applicable sales discounts and estimated sales returns. Sales incentives provided to customers are accounted for as reductions in revenue as the related revenue is recorded. The Company's sales are primarily to customers located throughout the United States and Canada. Whole Foods Market, Inc. was the Company's largest customer in each fiscal year presented. Whole Foods Market, Inc. accounted for approximately 37% , 33% and 35% of the Company's net sales for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 , respectively. There were no other customers that individually generated 10% or more of the Company's net sales during those periods. Accounts Receivable and Related Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable primarily consist of trade receivables from customers and receivables from suppliers in connection with the purchase or promotion of the suppliers' products. The Company analyzes customer creditworthiness, accounts receivable balances, payment history, payment terms and historical bad debt levels when evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. In instances where a reserve has been recorded for a particular customer, future sales to the customer are conducted using either cash-on-delivery terms, or the account is closely monitored so that as agreed upon payments are received, orders are released; a failure to pay results in held or canceled orders. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Refer to Note 9, "Fair Value Measurements", for additional information regarding the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of notes payable and long-term debt are based on the instruments' interest rate, terms, maturity date and collateral, if any, in comparison to the Company's incremental borrowing rate for similar financial instruments. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. 49 Table of Contents Assets: Cash and cash equivalents Accounts receivable Notes receivable Liabilities: Accounts payable Notes payable Long-term debt, including current portion Share-Based Compensation July 28, 2018 July 29, 2017 Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value (In thousands) $ 23,315 $ 23,315 $ 15,414 $ 579,702 1,930 517,125 210,000 150,150 579,702 1,930 517,125 210,000 155,317 525,636 2,359 534,616 223,612 161,991 15,414 525,636 2,359 534,616 223,612 169,058 The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation . The Company has four share-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 3, "Equity Plans". Share-based compensation consists of stock options, restricted stock units and performance units. The grant date closing price per share of the Company's stock is used to estimate the fair value of restricted stock units. Stock options are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company's stock at the dates of grant. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the individual grants. The Company's President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and its other executive officers or members of senior management have been granted performance units which vest, when and if earned, in accordance with the terms of the related performance unit award agreements. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on the target number of shares of common stock and the Company’s stock price on the date of grant and subsequently adjusts expense based on actual and forecasted performance compared to planned targets. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adding the dilutive potential common shares to the weighted average number of common shares that were outstanding during the period. For purposes of the diluted earnings per share calculation, outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based awards, if applicable, are considered common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of the basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented follows: Basic weighted average shares outstanding Net effect of dilutive common stock equivalents based upon the treasury stock method Diluted weighted average shares outstanding Potential anti-dilutive share-based payment awards excluded from the computation above Net income Basic earnings per share Diluted earnings per share Treasury Stock July 28,  2018 Fiscal year ended July 29,  2017 July 30,  2016 (In thousands, except per share data) 50,530 307 50,837 93 50,570 205 50,775 44 50,313 86 50,399 84 $ $ $ 165,670 $ 130,155 $ 125,766 3.28 $ 3.26 $ 2.57 $ 2.56 $ 2.50 2.50 The Company records the repurchase of shares of common stock at cost based on the settlement date of the transaction. These shares are classified as treasury stock, which is a reduction to stockholders’ equity. Treasury stock is included in authorized and issued shares but excluded from outstanding shares. 50             Table of Contents On October 6, 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $200.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The repurchase program is scheduled to expire upon the Company’s repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate purchase price of $200.0 million . The Company repurchased 614,660 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $24.2 million in the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 . Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in accordance with ASU No. 2013-02, and includes net income and the change in other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of the net change in fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, as well as foreign currency translation related to the translation of UNFI Canada, Inc. ("UNFI Canada") from the functional currency of Canadian dollars to U.S. dollar reporting currency. For all periods presented, the Company displays comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company is exposed to market risks arising from changes in interest rates, fuel costs, and with the operation of UNFI Canada, foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses derivatives principally in the management of interest rate and fuel price exposure. From time to time the Company may use contracts to hedge transactions in foreign currency. The Company does not utilize derivatives that contain leverage features. For derivative transactions accounted for as hedges, on the date the Company enters into the derivative transaction, the exposure is identified. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. In this documentation, the Company specifically identifies the asset, liability, firm commitment, forecasted transaction, or net investment that has been designated as the hedged item and states how the hedging instrument is expected to reduce the risks related to the hedged item. The Company measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis as needed. Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in net sales. Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are generally recorded in cost of sales, whereas shipping and handling costs for selecting, quality assurance, and outbound transportation are recorded in operating expenses. Outbound shipping and handling costs totaled $582.9 million , $517.2 million and $467.5 million for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 , respectively. Reserves for Self-Insurance The Company is primarily self-insured for workers' compensation and general and automobile liability insurance. It is the Company's policy to record the self- insured portion of workers' compensation and automobile liabilities based upon actuarial methods to estimate the future cost of claims and related expenses that have been reported but not settled, and that have been incurred but not yet reported. Operating Lease Expenses The Company records lease expense via the straight-line method. For leases with step rent provisions whereby the rental payments increase over the life of the lease, and for leases where the Company receives rent-free periods, the Company recognizes expense based on a straight-line basis based on the total minimum lease payments to be made over the expected lease term. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share- Based Payment Accounting, which more closely aligns the accounting for employee and nonemployee shared-based payments. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, which for the Company will be the first quarter of the fiscal year ending August 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, which for the Company will be the first quarter of the fiscal year ending August 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of the new standard and evaluating its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 51 Table of Contents In December 2017, the United States ("U.S.") government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”). The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC ") staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act ("SAB 118"), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA. Refer to Note 12, "Income Taxes", for disclosure regarding the Company’s implementation of SAB 118. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , which changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting, including eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and presenting all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line item as the hedged item. The ASU also provides new alternatives for applying hedge accounting to additional hedging strategies, measuring the hedged item in fair value hedges of interest rate risk, reducing the cost and complexity of applying hedge accounting by easing the requirements for effectiveness testing, hedge documentation and application of the critical terms match method and reducing the risk of a material error correction if a company applies the shortcut method inappropriately. This ASU is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted the guidance in this ASU in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, with no impact to its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company’s hedging activities, which consist of its interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, are described in further detail in Note 9. "Fair Value Measurements". In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . This ASU no longer requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment is measured using the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the reporting unit. The ASU is effective for public companies with interim periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, which for the Company is the first quarter of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this ASU in connection with its annual goodwill impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. Refer to "(i) Goodwill and Intangible Assets" in this note for further information. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory ("ASU 2016-16"), which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. This ASU is required for public companies with interim periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 which for the Company will be the first quarter of the fiscal year ending August 3, 2019. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , to address eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The eight specific issues are (1) Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs; (2) Settlement of Zero-Coupon Debt Instruments or Other Debt Instruments with Coupon Interest Rates That Are Insignificant in Relation to the Effective Interest Rate of the Borrowing; (3) Contingent Consideration Payments Made after a Businesses Combination; (4) Proceeds from the Settlement of Insurance Claims; (5) Proceeds from the Settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, including Bank-Owned Life Insurance Policies; (6) Distributions Received from Equity Method Investees; (7) Beneficial Interests in Securitization Transactions; and (8) Separately Identifiable Cash and Application of the Predominance Principle. The ASU is effective for public companies with interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, which for the Company will be the first quarter of the fiscal year ending August 1, 2020. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which is intended to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions as part of the FASB's simplification initiative. This ASU has changed aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions including accounting for income taxes, the classification of excess tax benefits and the classification of employee taxes paid when shares are withheld for tax-withholding purposes on the consolidated statement of cash flows, forfeitures, and minimum statutory tax withholding requirements. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Accordingly, the Company accounts for excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies related to share-based payments in its provision for income taxes as opposed to additional paid-in capital. The Company recognized an income tax expense related to tax deficiencies for share-based payments for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 of $1.1 million . For fiscal 2017 and 2016, the result would have increased income tax expense by $1.3 million and $0.1 million , respectively. In addition, the Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and recorded a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings and additional paid-in capital as of July 30, 2017, the first day of fiscal 2018, of approximately $0.8 million and $1.3 million , respectively. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842) . The objective of this ASU is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and 52 Table of Contents uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. In addition, this ASU expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. This ASU will require the Company to recognize most current operating lease obligations as right-of-use assets with a corresponding liability based on the present value of future operating leases, which the Company believes will result in a significant impact to its consolidated balance sheets. Information about the amounts and timing of our undiscounted future lease payments can be found in Note 10. "Commitments and Contingencies" in these consolidated financial statements. Lessees and lessors will use a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of practical expedients. The ASU is effective for public companies with interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, which for the Company will be the first quarter of the fiscal year ending August 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and has begun an initial assessment plan to determine the impacts of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and any necessary changes to our systems, accounting policies, and processes and controls. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The new pronouncement is effective for public companies with annual periods, and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, which for the Company was the first quarter of the fiscal 2018. Early adoption at the beginning of an interim or annual period is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and it resulted in a reclassification from current deferred income tax assets to noncurrent deferred income tax liabilities of $40.6 million . All future adjustments will be reported as noncurrent. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (Topic 606) , which has been updated by multiple amending ASUs and supersedes existing revenue recognition requirements. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, the ASU requires new, enhanced quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The collective guidance is effective for public companies with annual periods, and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, which for the Company will be the first quarter of the fiscal year ending August 3, 2019. The new standard permits either of the following adoption methods: (i) a full retrospective application with restatement of each period presented in the financial statements with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective application with the cumulative effect of adopting the guidance recognized as of the date of initial application (“modified retrospective method”). The Company completed its assessment of the new standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, and has adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective method, with no significant financial statement impact. The Company’s assessment work consisted of scoping of revenue streams, reviewing contracts with customers, and documenting the accounting analysis and conclusions of the impacts of the ASU on the Company’s wholesale distribution and other segments. The primary impact of adopting the new standard, contained within the wholesale distribution segment, is related to the sale of certain private label products for which revenue will be recognized over time under the new standard as opposed to at a point in time under the Company’s current policies. The effect of adopting this change resulted in an immaterial increase to Retained earnings, which was recorded in first quarter of fiscal 2019. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company will comply with enhanced revenue disclosure requirements, which will include expanded disclosure of relevant information about contracts with customers, disaggregated revenue, information on contract assets and liabilities, as well as other items requiring significant judgment and estimates used to recognize revenue. 2.     ACQUISITIONS Wholesale Segment - Wholesale Distribution Acquisitions Global Organic/Specialty Source, Inc. On March 7, 2016, the Company acquired certain assets of Global Organic/Specialty Source Inc. and related affiliates (collectively "Global Organic") through its wholly owned subsidiary Albert's Organics, Inc. ("Albert's"). Global Organic is a distributor of organic fruits, vegetables, juices, milk, eggs, nuts, and coffee located in Sarasota, Florida serving customer locations across the Southeastern United States. Total cash consideration related to this acquisition was approximately $20.6 million . The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined by using an income approach. The identifiable intangible asset recorded consisted of customer lists of $7.4 million , which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately ten years. Nor-Cal Produce, Inc. On March 31, 2016 the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Nor-Cal Produce, Inc. ("Nor-Cal") and an affiliated entity as well as certain real estate. Nor-Cal is a distributor of conventional and organic produce and other 53 Table of Contents fresh products in Northern California, with primary operations located in West Sacramento, California. Total cash consideration related to this acquisition was approximately $67.8 million . The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined by using an income approach. The identifiable intangible assets include customer lists of $30.3 million , a tradename with an estimated fair value of $1.0 million , and a non-compete with an estimated fair value of $0.5 million , which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of approximately thirteen years , five years and five years , respectively. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company-specific information and projections, which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements as defined by authoritative guidance. The goodwill of $36.5 million represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a $2.9 million adjustment to the opening balance sheet which decreased goodwill and deferred income tax liabilities. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a $0.1 million adjustment, which decreased goodwill and liabilities, and completed the final net working capital adjustment resulting in cash received of $0.8 million by the Company, which also decreased goodwill and the total purchase price. The Company finalized its purchase accounting during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Net sales attributed to Nor- Cal from the date of acquisition through the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 were $51.4 million . The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the acquisition and the amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date: (in thousands) Accounts receivable Inventories Property and equipment Other assets Customer relationships Tradename Non-compete Goodwill Total assets Liabilities Total purchase price Final Opening Balance Sheet $ $ $ 8,483 1,902 10,029 125 30,300 1,000 500 36,517 88,856 21,073 67,783 Haddon House Food Products, Inc. On May 13, 2016 the Company acquired all outstanding equity securities of Haddon House Food Products, Inc. (“Haddon”) and certain affiliated entities and real estate. Haddon is a distributor and merchandiser of natural and organic and gourmet ethnic products throughout the Eastern United States. Haddon has a diverse, multi-channel customer base including supermarkets, gourmet food stores and independent retailers. Total cash consideration related to this acquisition was approximately $217.5 million . The value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined by using an income approach. The identifiable intangible assets include customer relationships with an estimated fair value of $62.7 million , the Haddon tradename with an estimated fair value of $0.7 million , non-compete agreements with an estimated fair value of $0.7 million , and a trademark asset related to Haddon-owned branded product lines with an estimated fair value of $2.0 million . The customer relationship intangible asset is currently being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately thirteen years, the Haddon tradename is being amortized over an estimated useful life of approximately three years, the non-compete agreements that the Company received from the owners of Haddon are being amortized over the five -year term of the agreements, and the Haddon trademark asset associated with its branded product lines is estimated to have an indefinite useful life. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company-specific and market participant information and projections, which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements as defined by authoritative guidance. The goodwill of $43.6 million represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Net sales attributed to Haddon from the date of acquisition through the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 were $100.4 million . During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a reduction to goodwill of approximately $1.6 million related to a net working capital adjustment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company finalized its purchase accounting related 54 Table of Contents to the Haddon acquisition. The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the acquisition and the amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date: (in thousands) Accounts receivable Other receivable Inventories Prepaid expenses and other current assets Property and equipment Other assets Customer relationships Tradename Non-compete Other intangible assets Goodwill Total assets Liabilities Total purchase price Final Opening Balance Sheet $ $ $ 40,134 3,621 46,440 1,744 54,501 280 62,700 700 700 2,000 43,585 256,405 38,910 217,495 Gourmet Guru, Inc. On August 10, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Gourmet Guru, Inc. ("Gourmet Guru"). Gourmet Guru is a distributor and merchandiser of fresh and organic food focusing on new and emerging brands. Total cash consideration related to this acquisition was approximately $10.0 million , subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined by using an income approach. The identifiable intangible asset recorded based on a provisional valuation consisted of customer lists of $1.0 million , which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately 2 years . During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, in finalizing the purchase accounting related to the Gourmet Guru acquisition, the Company recorded an increase to goodwill of approximately $0.2 million with a decrease to prepaid expenses. The goodwill of $10.3 million represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Cash paid for Global Organic, Nor-Cal, Haddon and Gourmet Guru was financed through borrowings under the Company’s Existing ABL Loan Agreement. Acquisition costs have been expensed as incurred within "operating expenses" in the consolidated statements of income. Acquisition costs related to these acquisitions were de minimis for the year ended July 29, 2017 and $2.1 million for the year ended July 30, 2016. The results of the acquired businesses' operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the applicable date of acquisitions. Operations for these acquisitions have been combined with the Company's existing wholesale distribution business and therefore results are not separable from the rest of the wholesale distribution business. The Company has not furnished pro forma financial information relating to these acquisitions as such information is not material to the Company's financial results. Acquisition of SUPERVALU, INC. On July 25, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity securities of SUPERVALU INC. (“SUPERVALU”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.9 billion including the assumption of outstanding debt and liabilities. The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies and is subject to antitrust approvals, SUPERVALU shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2018. The proposed acquisition of SUPERVALU is expected to expand the Company’s customer base and exposure across channels, add high-growth perimeter categories such as meat and produce to the Company’s natural and organic products, provide the Company a wider geographic reach and greater scale, and increase efficiencies. 3. EQUITY PLANS The Company has three equity incentive plans: the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2002 Plan"), the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2004 Plan"), and the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "2012 Plan") (collectively, the 55 Table of Contents "Plans"). Prior to the expiration of the applicable plan, these shares may be used to issue stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance based awards to employees, officers, directors and others. The maximum term of all incentive and non-statutory stock options or share awards granted under the Plans is 4 years . There were 2,800,000 shares authorized for grant under the 2002 Plan and 1,250,000 shares authorized for grant under the 2012 Plan, which was amended in fiscal 2016 and further amended in fiscal 2018 to increase shares available for issuance by 2,000,000 and 1,800,000 shares, respectively. As of July 28, 2018 , 2,676,949 shares were available for grant under the 2012 Plan. The authorization for new grants under the 2002 Plan and 2004 Plan has expired. The Company recognized total share-based compensation expense of $25.8 million for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 , compared to $25.7 million and $15.3 million for the fiscal years ended July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 , respectively. The total income tax benefit for share-based compensation arrangements was $6.5 million , $10.0 million , and $6.1 million , for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 , respectively. Share-based compensation expense related to performance-based share awards was $5.6 million and $9.0 million for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , respectively. For the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 , the Company did no t record share-based compensation expense related to performance-based share awards, including compensation expense related to performance units with vestings tied to the Company's performance in fiscal 2016, as a result of performance measures not being attained at the end of the fiscal year and the resulting forfeiture of these awards. Vesting requirements for awards under the Plans are generally at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee thereof, and for time vesting awards are typically four equal annual installments for employees and two equal installments for non-employee directors with the first installment on the date of grant and the second installment on the six month anniversary of the grant date. As of July 28, 2018 , there was $36.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding share-based compensation arrangements (including stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units). This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years. Restricted Stock Units The fair value of restricted stock units and performance share units are determined based on the number of units granted and the quoted price of the Company's common stock as of the grant date. The following summary presents information regarding restricted stock units and performance units under the Plans as of July 28, 2018 and changes during the fiscal year then ended: Outstanding at July 29, 2017 Granted Vested Forfeited Outstanding at July 28, 2018 Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value 1,270,111 $ 716,952 $ (434,730) $ (207,731) $ 1,344,602 $ 44.56 40.06 47.24 41.38 41.78 The total intrinsic value of restricted stock units vested was $12.4 million , $10.5 million and $12.3 million during the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 , respectively. During fiscal 2018, the Company granted 109,100 performance share units to its executives (subject to the issuance of 109,100 additional shares if the Company's performance exceeds specified targeted levels) with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $39.74 . All of the performance units are tied to the Company's performance in the fiscal year ending August 3, 2019. During fiscal 2017, the Company granted 397,242 performance share units to its executives (subject to the issuance of 221,242 additional shares if the Company's performance exceeds specified targeted levels) with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $40.82 tied to the Company's performance in fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019. As of the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017, 150,396 of these performance share units vested, based on the Company's earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted ROIC with an estimated intrinsic value of approximately $5.7 million using the Company's stock price as of July 28, 2017. As of the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018, 111,860 performance units vested based on the Company's earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted ROIC with an intrinsic value of approximately $3.6 million using the Company stock price as of July 27, 2018. As of July 28, 2018, there are 75,000 performance share units outstanding that are tied to the Company's performance in the fiscal year ending August 3, 2019. No performance share units vested during the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 . 56 Table of Contents Stock Options The fair value of stock option grants was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Black-Scholes utilizes assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield and expected life. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock price. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The model incorporates exercise and post-vesting forfeiture assumptions based on an analysis of historical data. The expected term is derived from historical information and other factors. The Company did no t grant stock options in fiscal 2018 or 2017 . The following summary presents the weighted average assumptions used for stock options granted in fiscal 2016 : Expected volatility Dividend yield Risk free interest rate Expected term (in years) Fiscal year ended July 30,  2016 27.5% —% 1.3% 4.0 The following summary presents information regarding outstanding stock options as of July 28, 2018 and changes during the fiscal year then ended with regard to options under the Plans: Outstanding at beginning of year Exercised Outstanding at end of year Exercisable at end of year Number of Options 328,689 $ (37,012) $ 291,677 $ 262,235 $ Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value 49.52 26.34 52.46 51.92 4.4 years $ 4.2 years $ 200,391 200,391 The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 was $15.59 . The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 , and July 30, 2016 , was $0.7 million , $0.1 million and $2.6 million , respectively. 4. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE The allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable consists of the following: Balance at beginning of year Additions charged to costs and expenses Deductions Balance at end of year 5.

Based on this decision, coupled with the decline in results in the first half of fiscal 2018 and the future outlook as a result of competitive pressure, the Company determined that both a test for recoverability of long-lived assets 57       Table of Contents and a goodwill impairment analysis should be performed. The determination of the need for a goodwill analysis was based on the assertion that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was below its carrying amount. As a result of both these analyses, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of $3.4 million on long-lived assets and $7.9 million to goodwill, respectively, during the second quarter of fiscal 2018. During the fourth quarter the Company disposed of its retail business. The Company recorded restructuring costs of $2.2 million during fiscal 2018.

There were no additional costs recorded related to these cost-savings initiatives in fiscal 2016. These initiatives resulted in a reduction of employees across the Company, the majority of which were terminated during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The total work- force reduction charge of $3.4 million recorded during fiscal 2016 was primarily related to severance and fringe benefits. In addition to workforce reduction charges, the Company recorded $0.9 million during fiscal 2016 for costs due to an early lease termination and facility closure and operational transfer costs associated with these initiatives. Earth Origins Market. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recorded restructuring and impairment charges of $0.8 million related to the Company's Earth Origins retail business. The Company made the decision during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 to close two of its stores, one store located in Florida and the other located in Maryland, which resulted in restructuring costs of $0.5 million primarily related to severance and closure costs. The stores were closed during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. In addition, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of $0.3 million during fiscal 2016 on long-lived assets. 58 Table of Contents Canadian facility closure.

Up to $850.0 million is available to the Company's U.S. subsidiaries and up to $50.0 million is available to UNFI Canada. After giving effect to the Existing ABL Loan Agreement, the Existing ABL Facility provides an option to increase the U.S. or Canadian revolving commitments by up to an additional $600.0 million in the aggregate (but in not less than $10.0 million increments) subject to certain customary conditions and the lenders committing to provide the increase in funding. The borrowings of the U.S. portion of the Existing ABL Facility, after giving effect to the Existing ABL Loan Agreement, accrued interest, at the base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.25% or LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% for the twelve month period ended April 29, 2017. After this period, the interest on the U.S. borrowings is accrued at the Company's option, at 59 Table of Contents either (i) a base rate (generally defined as the highest of (x) the Bank of America Business Capital prime rate, (y) the average overnight federal funds effective rate plus one-half percent ( 0.50% ) per annum and (z) one-month LIBOR plus one percent ( 1% ) per annum) plus an applicable margin that varies depending on daily average aggregate availability, or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin that varies depending on daily average aggregate availability. The borrowings on the Canadian portion of the Existing ABL Facility accrued interest at the Canadian prime rate plus an applicable margin of 0.25% or a bankers' acceptance equivalent rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% for the twelve month period ended April 29, 2017. After this period, the borrowings on the Canadian portion of the Existing ABL Facility accrue interest, at the Company's option, at either (i) a Canadian prime rate (generally defined as the highest of (x) 0.50% over 30-day Reuters Canadian Deposit Offering Rate ("CDOR") for bankers' acceptances, (y) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A.'s Canada branch, and (z) a bankers' acceptance equivalent rate for a one month interest period plus 1.00% ) plus an applicable margin that varies depending on daily average aggregate availability, or (ii) a bankers' acceptance equivalent rate of the rate of interest per annum equal to the annual rates applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers' acceptances on the "CDOR Page" of Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service, plus five basis points, and an applicable margin that varies depending on daily average aggregate availability. Unutilized commitments are subject to an annual fee in the amount of 0.30% if the total outstanding borrowings are less than 25% of the aggregate commitments, or a per annum fee of 0.25% if such total outstanding borrowings are 25% or more of the aggregate commitments. The Company is also required to pay a letter of credit fronting fee to each letter of credit issuer equal to 0.125% per annum of the stated amount of each such letter of credit (or such other amount as may be mutually agreed by the borrowers under the Existing ABL Facility and the applicable letter of credit issuer), as well as a fee to all lenders equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR or bankers’ acceptance equivalent rate loans, as applicable, times the average daily stated amount of all outstanding letters of credit. As of July 28, 2018 , the Company's borrowing base, which is calculated based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory levels, net of $4.2 million of reserves, was $884.5 million . As of July 28, 2018 , the Company had $210.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Company's Existing ABL Facility and $24.3 million in letter of credit commitments which reduced the Company's available borrowing capacity under the Existing ABL Facility on a dollar for dollar basis. The Company's resulting remaining availability was $650.2 million as of July 28, 2018 . The Existing ABL Facility subjects the Company to a springing minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Existing ABL Loan Agreement) of 1.0 to 1.0 calculated at the end of each of our fiscal quarters on a rolling four quarter basis when the adjusted aggregate availability (as defined in the Existing ABL Loan Agreement) is less than the greater of (i) $60.0 million and (ii) 10% of the aggregate borrowing base. The Company was not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the Existing ABL Loan Agreement during the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 . The Company has pledged the majority of its and its subsidiaries' accounts receivable and inventory for its obligations under the Existing ABL Facility. 8.  LONG-TERM DEBT  On August 14, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a real estate backed term loan agreement (as amended by the First Amendment Agreement, dated April 29, 2016, and the Second Amendment Agreement, dated September 1, 2016, the "Existing Term Loan Agreement"). The total initial borrowings under our term loan facility were $150.0 million . The Company is required to make $2.5 million principal payments quarterly. Under the Existing Term Loan Agreement, the Company at its option may request the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments in increments of at least $10.0 million , but not to exceed $50.0 million in total, subject to the approval of the lenders electing to participate in such incremental loans and the satisfaction of the conditions required by the Existing Term Loan Agreement. Proceeds from this Existing Term Loan Agreement were used to pay down borrowings under the Existing ABL Loan Agreement. Borrowings under the Existing Term Loan Agreement bear interest at rates that, at the Company's option, can be either: (1) a base rate generally defined as the sum of (i) the highest of (x) the administrative agent's prime rate, (y) the average overnight federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (z) one-month LIBOR plus one percent ( 1% ) per annum and (ii) a margin of 0.75% ; or, (2) a LIBOR rate generally defined as the sum of (i) LIBOR (as published by Reuters or other commercially available sources) for one, two, three or six months or, if approved by all affected lenders, nine months (all as selected by the Company), and (ii) a margin of 1.75% . Interest accrued on borrowings under the Existing Term Loan Agreement is payable in arrears. Interest accrued on any LIBOR loan is payable on the last day of the interest period applicable to the loan and, with respect to any LIBOR loan of more than three (3) months, on the last day of every three (3) months of such interest period. Interest accrued on base rate loans is payable on the first day of every month. The Company is also required to pay certain customary fees to the administrative agent. The borrowers' obligations under the Existing Term Loan Agreement are secured by certain parcels of the borrowers' real property. The Existing Term Loan Agreement includes financial covenants that require (i) the ratio of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) minus the unfinanced portion of Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to the Company’s consolidated Fixed Charges (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to be at least 1.20 to 1.00 as of the end of any period of four fiscal quarters, (ii) the ratio of the Company’s Consolidated Funded Debt (as 60 Table of Contents defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to the Company’s EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters most recently ended to be not more than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter and (iii) the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the Company’s outstanding principal balance under the Loans (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement), divided by the Mortgaged Property Value (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to be not more than 75% at any time. As of July 28, 2018 , the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of its Existing Term Loan Agreement. On August 22, 2018, the Company notified its lenders that it intends to prepay its borrowings outstanding under its Existing Term Loan Agreement on October 1, 2018, which were approximately $110.0 million as of July 28, 2018. The Existing Term Loan Agreement was previously scheduled to terminate on the earlier of (a) August 14, 2022 and (b) the date that is ninety days prior to the termination date of the Existing ABL Loan Agreement. Concurrently with the prepayment of borrowings outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Agreement, the Company intends to draw on its Existing ABL Loan Agreement in an amount equal to its Existing Term Loan Agreement prepayment amount. During the fiscal year ended August 1, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to an existing lease agreement for the office space utilized as the Company's corporate headquarters in Providence, Rhode Island. The amendment provides for additional office space to be utilized by the Company and extends the lease term for an additional 10 years. The lease qualifies for capital lease treatment pursuant to ASC 840, Leases, and the estimated fair value of the building was originally recorded on the consolidated balance sheet with the capital lease obligation included in long-term debt. A portion of each lease payment reduces the amount of the lease obligation, and a portion is recorded as interest expense at an effective rate of approximately 12.05% . During the fiscal year ended July 28, 2012, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a new distribution facility in Aurora, Colorado. At the conclusion of the fiscal year ended August 3, 2013, actual construction costs exceeded the construction allowance as defined by the lease agreement, and therefore, the Company determined it met the criteria for continuing involvement pursuant to FASB ASC 840, Leases , and applied the financing method to account for this transaction during the fourth quarter fiscal 2013. Under the financing method, the book value of the distribution facility and related accumulated depreciation remains on the consolidated balance sheet. The construction allowance is recorded as a financing obligation in "Long-term debt." A portion of each lease payment reduces the amount of the financing obligation, and a portion is recorded as interest expense at an effective rate of approximately 7.32% . As of July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , the Company's long-term debt consisted of the following: Financing obligation, due monthly, and maturing in October 2028 at an effective interest rate of 7.32% Capital lease, Providence, Rhode Island corporate headquarters, due monthly, and maturing in April 2025 at an effective interest rate of 12.05% Existing Term Loan Agreement, due quarterly (1) Less: current installments Long-term debt, excluding current installments July 28,  2018 July 29,  2017 (In thousands) 29,118 $ 30,368 12,196 108,836 150,150 $ 12,441 137,709 $ 13,074 118,549 161,991 12,128 149,863 $ $ $ (1) Existing Term Loan Agreement balance is shown net of debt issuance costs of $1.2 million and $1.5 million as of July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , respectively, due to the Company's adoption of ASU No. 2015-03 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company utilizes ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), for financial assets and liabilities and for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on at least an annual basis. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: • • • Level 1 Inputs—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs—Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable through correlation with market data. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs to valuation models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment because the inputs used in the model, such as interest rates and volatility, can be corroborated by readily observable market data. Level 3 Inputs—One or more significant inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity, and that reflect the use of significant management judgment. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, and significant management judgment or estimation. Hedging of Interest Rate Risk The Company manages its debt portfolio with interest rate swaps to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates. Details of outstanding swap agreements as of July 28, 2018 , which are all pay fixed and receive floating, are as follows: Swap Maturity Notional Value (in millions) Pay Fixed Rate Receive Floating Rate Floating Rate Reset Terms June 9, 2019 June 24, 2019 April 29, 2021 April 29, 2021 August 3, 2022 $ $ $ $ $ 50.0 50.0 25.0 25.0 112.5 0.8725% 0.7265% 1.0650% 0.9260% 1.7950% One-Month LIBOR One-Month LIBOR One-Month LIBOR One-Month LIBOR One-Month LIBOR Monthly Monthly Monthly Monthly Monthly Interest rate swap agreements are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges at July 28, 2018 . The Company performs an initial quantitative assessment of hedge effectiveness using the “Hypothetical Derivative Method” described in ASC 815 in the period in which the hedging transaction is entered into. Under this method, the Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transactions. In future reporting periods the Company performs a qualitative analysis for quarterly prospective and retrospective assessments of hedge effectiveness. The Company also monitors the risk of counterparty default on an ongoing basis and noted that the counterparties are reputable financial institutions. The entire change in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings in interest expense when the hedged transactions affect earnings. The location and amount of gains or losses recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income for cash flow hedging relationships for each of the periods, presented on a pretax basis, are as follows: 62 Table of Contents (In thousands) Total amounts of income and expense line items presented in the consolidated results of operations in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded $ Gain or (loss) on cash flow hedging relationships: Fiscal Year Ended July 28, 2018 July 29, 2017 July 30, 2016 Interest Expense Interest Expense Interest Expense 16,471 $ 17,114 $ 16,259 Gain or (loss) reclassified from Comprehensive Income into income 827 (1,462) (2,082) Financial Instruments The following table provides the fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 : (In thousands) Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets: Interest Rate Swap Other Assets: Interest Rate Swap Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities: Interest Rate Swap Fair Value at July 28, 2018 Fair Value at July 29, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 — $ 1,459 — — — — 5,860 — $ 2,491 — — — — (308) — — — The fair value of the Company's other financial instruments including accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued expenses are derived using Level 2 inputs and approximate carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of notes payable approximate carrying amounts as they are variable rate instruments. The carrying amount of notes payable approximates fair value as interest rates on the Existing ABL Facility approximates current market rates (level 2 criteria). The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies taking into account the instruments' interest rate, terms, maturity date and collateral, if any, in comparison to the Company's incremental borrowing rate for similar financial instruments and are therefore deemed Level 2 inputs. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

During the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 , the Company did not enter in any such agreements. During the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 , the Company entered into several agreements which required it to purchase a portion of its diesel fuel each month at fixed prices through December 2016 . These fixed price fuel agreements qualify for the "normal purchase" exception under ASC 815; therefore, the fuel purchases under these contracts are expensed as incurred and included within operating expenses. 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases various facilities and equipment under operating lease agreements with varying terms. Most of the leases contain renewal options and purchase options at several specific dates throughout the terms of the leases. 63   Table of Contents Rent and other lease expense for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 totaled approximately $80.0 million , $74.9 million and $65.4 million , respectively. Future minimum annual fixed payments required under non-cancelable operating leases having an original term of more than one year as of July 28, 2018 are as follows: Fiscal Year 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 and thereafter (In thousands) 64,688 $ 52,841 36,521 27,375 19,429 30,886 $ 231,740 As of July 28, 2018 , outstanding commitments for the purchase of inventory were approximately $15.9 million . The Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $24.3 million at July 28, 2018 . The Company did no t have any outstanding commitments for the purchase of diesel fuel as of July 28, 2018 . As of July 28, 2018, the Company had a withdrawal liability related to one of its multi-employer plans of approximately $3.4 million . The Company may from time to time be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, amounts accrued, as well as the total amount of reasonably possible losses with respect to such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not deemed to be material to the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. Legal expenses incurred in connection with claims and legal actions are expensed as incurred. 11. RETIREMENT PLANS Defined Contribution Retirement Plan The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the United Natural Foods, Inc. Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan"). In order to become a participant in the Retirement Plan, employees must meet certain eligibility requirements as described in the Retirement Plan document. In addition to amounts contributed to the Retirement Plan by employees, the Company makes contributions to the Retirement Plan on behalf of the employees. The Company's contributions to its Retirement Plan were approximately $11.6 million , $10.1 million , and $7.3 million for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 , respectively. Multi-employer plans The Company contributes to two multi-employer plans for certain of its associates that are represented by unions, none of which are individually significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company made contributions of approximately $0.5 million during the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 . As of the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017, the Company had withdrawn from a third plan, the present value of which is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. As of July 28, 2018, the withdrawal liability was approximately $3.4 million . Withdrawal payments made during fiscal 2018 were de minimis. Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Retirement Plans The Company's non-employee directors and certain of its employees are eligible to participate in the United Natural Foods Deferred Compensation Plan and the United Natural Foods Deferred Stock Plan (collectively the " Deferral Plans "). The Deferral Plans are nonqualified deferred compensation plans which are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The Deferral Plans were established to provide participants with the opportunity to defer the receipt of all or a portion of their compensation to a non-qualified retirement plan in amounts greater than the amount permitted to be deferred under the Company's 401(k) Plan. The Company believes that this is an appropriate benefit because (i) it operates to place employees and non-employee directors in the same position as other employees who are not affected by Internal Revenue Code limits placed on plans such as the Company's 401(k) Plan; (ii) does not substantially increase the Company's financial obligations to its employees and directors (there are no employer matching contributions, only a crediting of deemed earnings); and (iii) provides additional incentives to the Company's employees and directors, since amounts set aside by the employees and directors are subject to the claims of the Company's creditors until paid. Under the Deferral Plans, only the payment of the compensation earned by the participant is deferred and there is no deferral of the expense in the Company's consolidated financial statements related to the 64 Table of Contents participants' earnings; the Company records the related compensation expense in the year in which the compensation is earned by the participants. Under the Deferred Stock Plan, which was frozen to new deferrals effective January 1, 2007, each eligible participant could elect to defer between 0% and 100% of restricted stock awards granted during the election calendar year. Effective January 1, 2007, each participant may elect to defer up to 100% of their restricted share unit awards, performance shares and performance units under the Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, each participant may also elect to defer a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of 90% of base salary and 100% of director fees, employee bonuses and commissions, as applicable, earned by the participants for the calendar year. Participants' cash-derived deferrals accrue earnings and appreciation based on the performance of mutual funds selected by the participant. The value of equity-based awards deferred under the Deferral Plans are based upon the performance of the Company's common stock. The Millbrook Deferred Compensation Plan and the Millbrook Supplemental Retirement Plan were assumed by the Company as part of an acquisition during fiscal 2008. Deferred compensation relates to a compensation arrangement implemented in 1984 by a predecessor of the acquired company in the form of a non-qualified defined benefit plan and a supplemental retirement plan which permitted former officers and certain management employees, at the time, to defer portions of their compensation to earn specified maximum benefits upon retirement. The future obligations, which are fixed in accordance with the plans, have been recorded at a discount rate of 5.7% . These plans do not allow new participants, and there are no active employees subject to these plans. At July 28, 2018 , total future obligations including interest, assuming commencement of payments at an individual's retirement age, as defined under the deferred compensation arrangement, were as follows: Fiscal Year 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 and thereafter (In thousands) 1,147 940 785 766 721 2,349 6,708 $ $ In an effort to provide for the benefits associated with the Deferral Plans and the Millbrook Deferred Compensation Plan, the Company owns whole-life insurance contracts on the plan participants. The cash surrender value of these policies included in "Other Assets" in the consolidated balance sheets was $22.9 million and $21.5 million at July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 , respectively. The changes in the cash surrender value of these policies are recorded as a gain or loss in "Other, net" within "Other expense (income)," in the Company's consolidated statements of income. 12. INCOME TAXES For the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 , income (loss) before income taxes consists of $205.3 million from U.S. operations and $7.4 million from foreign operations. For the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 , income before income taxes consists of $211.5 million from U.S. operations and $2.9 million from foreign operations. For the fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 , income before income taxes consists of $208.8 million from U.S. operations and ($0.6) million from foreign operations. 65 Table of Contents Total federal and state income tax (benefit) expense consists of the following: Fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 U.S. Federal State & Local Foreign Fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 U.S. Federal State & Local Foreign Fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 U.S. Federal State & Local Foreign Current Deferred (In thousands) Total $ $ $ $ $ $ 46,210 $ (16,648) $ 13,310 2,374 1,878 (49) 61,894 $ (14,819) $ 70,669 $ (1,874) $ 14,653 837 (82) 65 86,159 $ (1,891) $ 57,157 $ 11,383 $ 12,718 101 1,310 (213) 69,976 $ 12,480 $ 29,562 15,188 2,325 47,075 68,795 14,571 902 84,268 68,540 14,028 (112) 82,456 Total income tax expense (benefit) was different than the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes because of the following: Computed "expected" tax expense State and local income tax, net of Federal income tax benefit Non-deductible expenses Tax effect of share-based compensation General business credits Impacts related to the TCJA Other, net Total income tax expense July 28,  2018 Fiscal year ended July 29,  2017 (In thousands) July 30,  2016 $ $ 57,359 $ 10,501 955 149 (552) (21,719) 382 47,075 $ 75,048 $ 9,694 1,951 29 (915) — (1,539) 84,268 $ 72,878 9,412 1,549 86 (135) — (1,334) 82,456 The income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 was allocated as follows: Income tax expense Stockholders' equity, difference between compensation expense for tax purposes and amounts recognized for financial statement purposes Other comprehensive income 66 July 28,  2018 July 29,  2017 (In thousands) July 30,  2016 47,075 $ 84,268 $ 82,456 — 1,561 1,320 3,222 48,636 $ 88,810 $ 83 (2,050) 80,489 $ $           Table of Contents The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the net deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 are presented below: July 28,  2018 July 29,  2017 (In thousands) Deferred tax assets: Inventories, principally due to additional costs inventoried for tax purposes $ 7,265 $ Compensation and benefits related Accounts receivable, principally due to allowances for uncollectible accounts Accrued expenses Net operating loss carryforwards Foreign tax credits Other deferred tax assets Total gross deferred tax assets Less valuation allowance Net deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities: Plant and equipment, principally due to differences in depreciation Intangible assets Interest rate swap agreements Accrued expenses Other Total deferred tax liabilities Net deferred tax liabilities Current deferred income tax assets Non-current deferred income tax liabilities 25,740 4,269 119 482 445 117 38,437 (445) 37,992 $ 39,978 $ 36,544 2,000 3,854 — 82,376 (44,384) $ — $ (44,384) (44,384) $ $ $ $ $ $ 9,416 35,482 5,639 4,466 940 — — 55,943 — 55,943 59,414 53,633 876 — 218 114,141 (58,198) 40,635 (98,833) (58,198) New tax legislation, the TCJA, was enacted on December 22, 2017. ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes , requires companies to recognize the effect of tax law changes in the period of enactment even though the effective date for most TCJA provisions is for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Given the significance of the legislation, the SEC staff issued SAB 118, which allows registrants to record provisional amounts concerning TCJA impacts during a one year “measurement period” similar to that used when accounting for business combinations. The measurement period is deemed to have ended earlier when the registrant has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting. During the measurement period, impacts of the law are expected to be recorded at the time a reasonable estimate for all or a portion of the effects can be made, and provisional amounts can be recognized and adjusted as information becomes available, prepared or analyzed. SAB 118 summarizes a process to be applied at each reporting period to account for and qualitatively disclose: (1) the effects of the change in tax law for which accounting is complete; (2) provisional amounts (or adjustments to provisional amounts) for the effects of the tax law where accounting is not complete, but that a reasonable estimate has been determined; and (3) a reasonable estimate cannot yet be made and therefore taxes are reflected in accordance with the law prior to the enactment of the TCJA. Provisional estimates have been recorded for the estimated impact of the TCJA based on information that is currently available to the Company. These provisional estimates are comprised of the one-time mandatory repatriation transition tax. The repatriation transition tax is expected to have an immaterial impact because of foreign tax credits available to the Company. As the Company completes its analysis of the TCJA, changes may be made to provisional estimates, and such changes will be reflected in the period in which the related adjustments are made. In assessing the need to establish a valuation reserve for the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers relevant 67   Table of Contents evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the need for a valuation allowance. Information evaluated includes the Company's financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years, the availability of deferred tax liabilities and tax carrybacks, as well as an evaluation of currently available information about future years. At July 28, 2018 , the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2.3 million for federal income tax purposes. The federal carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation of approximately $0.3 million under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The carryforwards expire at various times between fiscal years 2019 and 2027 . As of July 28, 2018 , the Company has sufficient taxable income in the federal carryback period and anticipates sufficient future taxable income over the periods in which the net operating losses can be utilized. The Company also has the availability of future reversals of taxable temporary differences that are expected to generate taxable income in the future. Therefore, the ultimate realization of net operating losses federal and state tax purposes appears more likely than not at July 28, 2018 and correspondingly no valuation allowance has been established. The retained earnings of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiary that are subject to deemed repatriation and taxation under the TCJA are $13.3 million at July 28, 2018 . The Company utilized U.S. foreign tax credits to offset the deemed repatriation tax of $2.1 million . Further, we have established a deferred tax asset for the excess U.S. foreign tax credits of $0.4 million . Such credits are offset by a valuation allowance. The Company considers these unremitted earnings to be indefinitely reinvested; therefore, we have not provided a deferred tax liability for any residual tax that may be due upon repatriation of these earnings. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in various state jurisdictions. UNFI Canada files income tax returns in Canada and certain of its provinces. U.S. federal income tax examination years prior to fiscal 2015 have either statutorily or administratively been closed with the Internal Revenue Service, and with limited exception, the fiscal tax years that remain subject to examination by state jurisdictions range from the Company's fiscal 2014 to fiscal 2017. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The unrecognized tax benefit in the consolidated statements of income was de minimis for the fiscal years ended July 28, 2018 , July 29, 2017 , and July 30, 2016 . 13. BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Company has several business units within the wholesale segment, which is the Company's only reportable segment. These business units have similar products and services, customer channels, distribution methods and historical margins. The wholesale segment is engaged in the distribution of natural, organic and specialty foods, produce and related products in the United States and Canada. The Company has additional operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments and are therefore aggregated under the caption of "Other." "Other" includes a retail business, which was disposed in fiscal 2018, which engaged in the sale of natural foods and related products to the general public through retail storefronts on the east coast of the United States, a manufacturing business, which engages in importing, roasting, packaging and distributing of nuts, dried fruit, seeds, trail mixes, granola, natural and organic snack items and confections, the Company's branded product lines, and the Company's brokerage business, which markets various products on behalf of food suppliers directly and exclusively to the Company's customers. "Other" also includes certain corporate operating expenses that are not allocated to business units, which include, among other expenses, stock based compensation, and salaries, retainers, and other related expenses of certain officers and all directors. Non-operating expenses that are not allocated to the business units are under the caption of "Unallocated Expenses." The Company does not record its revenues for financial reporting purposes by product group, and it is therefore impracticable for the Company to report them accordingly. The Company has long-lived assets of $25.0 million held in Canada as of July 28, 2018. The following table reflects business segment information for the periods indicated (in thousands): 68 Table of Contents Fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 Net sales $ 10,169,840 $ 228,465 $ (171,622) $ — $ 10,226,683 Wholesale Other Eliminations (In thousands) Unallocated (Income)/ Expenses Consolidated Restructuring and asset impairment expenses Operating income (loss) Interest expense Interest income Other, net Income before income taxes Depreciation and amortization Capital expenditures Goodwill Total assets Fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 Net sales Restructuring and asset impairment expenses Operating income (loss) Interest expense Interest income Other, net Income before income taxes Depreciation and amortization Capital expenditures Goodwill Total assets Fiscal year ended July 30, 2016 Net sales Restructuring and asset impairment expenses Operating income (loss) Interest expense Interest income Other, net Income before income taxes Depreciation and amortization Capital expenditures Goodwill Total assets 67 260,363 — — — 85,388 43,402 352,342 2,811,948 9,210,815 2,922 247,419 — — — 83,063 53,328 353,234 2,724,069 8,395,821 2,811 228,476 — — — 68,278 39,464 348,143 2,672,620 15,946 (36,563) — — — 2,243 1,206 10,153 189,312 232,192 3,942 (21,857) — — — 2,988 2,784 18,025 203,154 238,691 2,741 (3,488) — — — 2,728 1,911 18,025 201,603 69 — 3,425 — — — — — — (36,788) (168,536) — 463 — — — — — — (40,660) (164,226) — (879) — — — — — — (22,068) — — 16,471 (446) (1,545) — — — — — — — 17,114 (360) (5,152) — — — — — — — 16,259 (1,115) 743 — — — — 16,013 227,225 16,471 (446) (1,545) 212,745 87,631 44,608 362,495 2,964,472 9,274,471 6,864 226,025 17,114 (360) (5,152) 214,423 86,051 56,112 371,259 2,886,563 8,470,286 5,552 224,109 16,259 (1,115) 743 208,222 71,006 41,375 366,168 2,852,155   Table of Contents 14.

(together with the Company, the “U.S. Borrowers”), and UNFI Canada, Inc. (the “Canadian Borrower” and, together with the U.S. Borrowers, the “Borrowers”), the financial institutions that 70     Table of Contents are parties thereto as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “ABL Administrative Agent”), Bank of America, N.A. (acting through its Canada branch), as Canadian agent for the Lenders (the “Canadian Agent”), and the other parties thereto. As of the Signing Date and as a result of the Company’s entry into the New ABL Loan Agreement, all of the commitments under the Amended Commitment Letter with respect to the Existing ABL Loan Agreement have been terminated and permanently reduced to zero. The commitment with respect to the New Term Loan Facility under the Amended Commitment Letter remained unchanged. The New ABL Loan Agreement provides for the New ABL Credit Facility (the loans thereunder, the “Loans”), of which up to (i) $1,950.0 million is available to the U.S. Borrowers and (ii) $50.0 million is available to the Canadian Borrower. The New ABL Loan Agreement also provides for (i) a $125.0 million sublimit of availability for letters of credit of which there is a further $5.0 million sublimit for the Canadian Borrower and (ii) a $100.0 million sublimit for short-term borrowings on a swingline basis of which there is a further $3.5 million sublimit for the Canadian Borrower. Under the New ABL Loan Agreement, the Borrowers may, at their option, increase the aggregate amount of the New ABL Credit Facility in an amount of up to $600.0 million (but in not less than $10.0 million increments) without the consent of any Lenders not participating in such increase, subject to certain customary conditions and applicable Lenders committing to provide the increase in funding. There can be no assurance that additional funding would be available. The obligations of the Lenders to provide Loans under the New ABL Loan Agreement on the Closing Date are subject to a number of customary conditions, including, without limitation, the consummation of the Merger (which must occur by January 25, 2019, subject to extension in certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of Merger Agreement) and execution and delivery by the borrowers and the guarantors of definitive documentation consistent with the New ABL Loan Agreement and the documentation standards specified therein. Existing Term Loan Agreement Prepayment On August 22, 2018, the Company notified its lenders that it intends to prepay its borrowings outstanding under its real estate backed term loan agreement, dated August 14, 2014 (as amended by the First Amendment Agreement, dated April 29, 2016, and the Second Amendment Agreement, dated September 1, 2016, the "Existing Term Loan Agreement") on October 1, 2018, which were approximately $110.0 million as of July 28, 2018.

ITEM 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE Not applicable. ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures . We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: • • Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and 71 Table of Contents • Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 28, 2018 . In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework). Based on its assessment, our management concluded that, as of July 28, 2018 , our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria at the reasonable assurance level. Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 28, 2018 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its attestation report which is included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report. Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)or 15d-15(f)) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended July 28, 2018 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The following table provides certain information with respect to equity awards under our equity compensation plans as of July 28, 2018 . Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in the second column) 1,636,279 (1) $ 52.46 (1) 2,676,949 (2) 87,083 (3) 1,723,362 $ — (3) 52.46 — 2,676,949 Plan Category Plans approved by stockholders Plans not approved by stockholders Total (1) Includes 1,148,175 restricted stock units under the 2012 Plan, 162,910 performance-based restricted stock units under the 2012 Plan and 130,457 stock options under the 2012 Plan, 33,517 restricted stock units under the 2004 Plan, 80,070 stock options under the 2004 Plan and 81,150 stock options under the 2002 Plan. Restricted stock units and performance stock units do not have an exercise price because their value is dependent upon continued employment over a period of time or the achievement of certain performance goals, and are to be settled for shares of common stock. Accordingly, they have been disregarded for purposes of computing the weighted-average exercise price. (2) All shares were available for issuance under the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan authorizes grants in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units or a combination thereof but includes limits on the number of awards that may be issued in the form of restricted shares or units. The number of shares remaining available for future issuances assumes that, with respect to outstanding performance- based restricted stock units, the vesting criteria will be achieved at the target level. (3) Consists of phantom stock units outstanding under the United Natural Foods Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan. See Note 11 "Retirement Plans" to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report for more information. Phantom stock units do not have an exercise price because the units may be settled only for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis at a future date as outlined in the plan.

The Lead Arrangers will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication of the Facilities, including, without limitation, selection of Lenders (subject to your reasonable consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and excluding Disqualified Institutions), determination of when the Lead Arrangers will approach potential Lenders, the time of acceptance of the Lenders’ commitments, the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders (subject to your consent rights, as described above) and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders (subject to your consent rights, as described above). You agree, at the reasonable request of the Lead Arrangers, to assist in the preparation of a version of the Confidential Information Memorandum to be used in connection with the syndication of each Facility, consisting exclusively of information and documentation that is either (a) publicly available (or could be derived from publicly available information) or (b) not material with respect to you, the Target or your or its respective subsidiaries or any of your or its respective securities for purposes of United States federal securities laws assuming such laws are applicable to you, the Target or your or its respective subsidiaries (all such information and documentation being “ Public Lender Information ” and with any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information being referred to herein as “ Private Lender Information ”). You hereby acknowledge that the Lead Arrangers will make available, on a confidential basis, the information, Projections and other offering and marketing materials and presentations, including the Confidential Information Memorandum, to be used in connection with the syndication of each Facility (such information, Projections, other offering and marketing material and the Confidential Information Memorandum, collectively, with the Term Sheets, the “ Information Materials ”), to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on Intralinks, SyndTrak Online or by similar electronic means.

Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to identify and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to identify that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the public-side lenders. By marking Information Materials as “PUBLIC”, you shall be deemed to have authorized the Lead Arrangers and the proposed Lenders to treat such Information Materials as not containing any Private Lender Information (it being understood that you shall not be under any obligation to mark the Information Materials “PUBLIC”). You agree that, unless expressly identified as “PUBLIC”, each document to be disseminated by the Lead 14 Arrangers (or any other agent) to any Lender in connection with the Facilities will be deemed to contain Private Lender Information. You agree, subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Commitment Letter, that the Lead Arrangers on your behalf may distribute the following documents to all prospective Lenders, unless you advise the Lead Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions (after you have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents) that such material should only be distributed to prospective private Lenders: (a) administrative materials for prospective Lenders such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda; (b) notifications of changes to the Facilities’ terms; and (c) drafts and final versions of term sheets and definitive documents with respect to the Facilities. If you advise us in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions (after you have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents) that any of the foregoing items should be distributed only to private Lenders, then the Lead Arrangers will not distribute such materials to public Lenders without your consent. 3.

If at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence are incorrect in any material respect (to your knowledge insofar as it applies to the Information and Projections concerning the Target, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses), you agree to (and to use your commercially reasonable efforts with respect to the Information and the Projections concerning the Target and its subsidiaries and their respective businesses) promptly supplement the Information and the Projections such that the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence remain true in all material respects (to your knowledge insofar as it applies to the Information and Projections concerning the Target, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses, it being understood in each case that such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representations and warranties). The accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties, whether or not cured, shall not be a condition to the commitments and obligations of the Initial Lenders hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date. In arranging the Facilities, including the syndication of the Facilities, the Commitment Parties will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof. 4.

There are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder, and there will be no conditions (implied or otherwise) under the Facilities Documentation to the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date, including compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Facilities Documentation, other than those that are expressly set forth in Exhibit D . Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Facilities Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (a) the only representations and warranties to the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (i) such of the representations and warranties made by the Target with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries in the Transaction Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you (or any of your affiliates) have the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate your (or its) obligations under the Transaction Agreement or decline to consummate the Acquisition (in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement) as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in the Transaction Agreement (the “ Specified Transaction Agreement Representations ”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (b) the terms of the Facilities Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date if the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit D as attached hereto are satisfied or waived by the Lead Arrangers (it being understood that to the extent any lien search or Collateral or any security interests therein (including the creation or perfection of any security interest) (other than to the extent that a lien on such Collateral may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code (“ UCC ”) or, with respect to each material domestic wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower, by the delivery of stock or other certificates of each material domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiary of the Borrower that is part of the Collateral and, with respect to the Target and material domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of the Target, by the delivery of stock or other certificates of the Target and material domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of the Target, only to the extent such stock or other certificates are received from the Target on or prior to the Closing Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so without undue burden or expense) is not or cannot be provided or perfected on the Closing Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so, or without undue burden or expense, the delivery of such lien search and/or Collateral (and creation or perfection of security interests therein), as applicable, shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date but shall instead be required to be delivered or provided within 90 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as may be reasonably agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent) pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent). For purposes hereof, “ Specified Representations ” means the representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties set forth in the applicable Facilities Documentation relating to: organizational existence of the Loan Parties; organizational power and authority of the Loan Parties, and due authorization, execution and delivery by the Loan Parties, in each case, as they relate to their entry into and performance of the applicable Facilities Documentation; enforceability of the applicable Facilities Documentation against the Loan Parties; no conflicts with charter documents of the Loan Parties as it relates to their entry into and performance of the applicable Facilities Documentation; solvency of the Borrower 16 and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on the Closing Date after giving effect to the Transactions (with solvency being determined in a manner consistent with Annex I to Exhibit D attached hereto); subject to the immediately preceding sentence and the limitations set forth in the Term Sheets, creation and perfection of security interests in the Collateral; Federal Reserve margin regulations; the use of proceeds of borrowings under the Facilities on the Closing Date not violating the PATRIOT Act, OFAC or FCPA; and the Investment Company Act.

Counsel to Term Loan Administrative Agent and Term Loan Lead Arrangers : Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP B-21 Interest Rates : The interest rates under the Term Loan Facility are set forth in the Fee Letter. ANNEX I TO EXHIBIT B As used herein and in the Fee Letter: “ Adjusted LIBOR ” means the London interbank offered rate, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (and each Term Loan designated as such, an “ Adjusted LIBOR Loan ”); provided that Adjusted LIBOR shall be deemed to be no less than 0.00% per annum. “ ABR ” means the highest of (i) the rate the Term Loan Administrative Agent announces from time to time as its prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus 1/2 of 1% and (iii) Adjusted LIBOR plus 1% (and each Term Loan designated as such, an “ ABR Loan ”) . Adjusted LIBOR borrowings may be made for interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months and, if available to all relevant Term Lenders, a period shorter than one month or a period of 12 months, as selected by the Borrower. Interest on Adjusted LIBOR Loans and all fees will be payable in arrears on the basis of a 360-day year, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed. Interest on ABR Loans will be payable in arrears on the basis of a 365-day year (or a 366-day year in a leap year) calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed. Interest will be payable on Adjusted LIBOR Loans on the last day of the applicable interest period (or at the end of each three months, in the case of interest periods longer than three months) and upon prepayment, and on ABR Loans quarterly and upon prepayment. If either (i) the Term Loan Administrative Agent determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary and/or (ii) the supervisor for the administrator of the London interbank offered rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Term Loan Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the London interbank offered rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Term Loan Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to “LIBOR” and that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time and shall enter into an amendment to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to the Term Loan Facility Documentation as may be applicable, which amendment shall not require the consent of any Lender unless the Term Loan Administrative Agent shall have received, within five business days of the date notice of such successor or alternative index rate is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Default Rate: Upon any payment or bankruptcy event of default, the interest rate will be, #91120726v8 #91297610v2 with respect to overdue principal, the applicable interest rate, plus 2.00% per annum and, with respect to any other overdue amount, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans, plus 2.00% per annum (other than to Defaulting Lenders). Interest on such overdue amounts will be payable upon written demand. #91120726v8 #91297610v2 B-I-2 Project Jedi ABL Facility Summary of Terms and Conditions EXHIBIT C Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit C shall have the respective meanings set forth in the letter agreement to which this Exhibit C is attached and in the other Exhibits attached thereto.

In the case of the Backstop ABL Facility: Initially, from and after the Closing Date until the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date, the interest rates under (i) the U.S. Facility will be Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.25% for Adjusted LIBOR Loans or ABR plus 0.25% for ABR Loans and (ii) the Canadian Facility will be BA Equivalent Rate plus 1.25% for BA Equivalent Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate plus 0.25% for Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and then on the first day of each fiscal quarter thereafter (the “Adjustment Date”), the applicable margin under the ABL Facility will be determined from the pricing grid below based on the average daily Aggregate Availability (as defined in the Existing ABL Facility) for the fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to such Adjustment Date. Applicable Margin for Adjusted LIBOR Loans/BA Equivalent Rate Loans Applicable Margin for ABR Loans/Canadian Prime Rate Loans 1.00% 1.25% 1.50% —% 0.25% 0.50% Average Daily Aggregate Availability Greater than or equal to 66.67% of the Line Cap Greater than or equal to 33.33% of the Line Cap but less than 66.67% of the Line Cap Less than 33.33% of the Line Cap As used herein: “ Adjusted LIBOR ” means the London interbank offered rate, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements provided that Adjusted LIBOR shall be deemed to be no less than 0.00% per annum. “ Adjusted LIBOR Loans ” means ABL Loans, the rate of interest on which is based on Adjusted LIBOR. “ ABR ” means the highest of (i) the U.S. prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, (ii) the one month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0% and (iii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus 1/2 of 1% . “ ABR Loans ” means ABL Loans, the rate of interest on which is based on ABR. “ BA Equivalent Rate ” will be defined in a manner consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles. #91297610v2 “ BA Equivalent Rate Loans ” means ABL Loans, the rate of interest on which is based on BA Equivalent Rate. “ Canadian Prime Rate ” will be defined in a manner consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles. “ Canadian Prime Rate Loans ” means ABL Loans, the rate of interest on which is based on the Canadian Prime Rate.

On the termination date, Borrowers shall make Full Payment of all Obligations. (iii) U.S. Borrowers may permanently reduce the unused U.S. Revolver Commitments, on a Pro Rata basis for each U.S. Revolver Lender, upon prior written notice to Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of the reduction and shall be irrevocable once given; provided , that such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the date of reduction.

If the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings exceed the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base (“ U.S. Revolver Overadvance ”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by U.S. Borrowers on demand by Administrative Agent, but all such U.S. Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. If the Total Canadian Outstandings exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base (“ Canadian Overadvance ”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Canadian Borrower on  demand  by Canadian Agent, but all such Canadian Loans shall nevertheless constitute Canadian Obligations secured by the applicable Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. The Applicable Agent may require the Applicable Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the applicable Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to such Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required), and (ii)(A) if a U.S. Revolver Overadvance, the Overadvance is not known by the Administrative Agent to exceed 10% of the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base and (B) if a Canadian Overadvance, the Overadvance is not known by the Canadian Agent to exceed 10% of the Canadian Borrowing Base; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if the Applicable Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist (an “ Unintentional Overadvance ”), if (i)(A) with respect to a request for a U.S. Revolver Overadvance, the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of the Unintentional Overadvance under the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base and (y) the amount of the request for a U.S. Revolver Overadvance does not exceed 10% of the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base, and (B) with respect to a request for a Canadian Overadvance, the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of the Unintentional Overadvance under the Canadian Borrowing Base and (y) the request for a Canadian Overadvance does not exceed 10% of the Canadian Borrowing Base, and (ii) such Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause (1) the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings to exceed the Aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments and (2) the Total Canadian Outstandings to exceed the Aggregate Canadian Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of a U.S. Revolver Overadvance or a Canadian Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by the Applicable Agent or Applicable Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Obligor be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms. Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Applicable Agent’s authority to make further Overadvance Loans by written notice to Applicable Agent. 2.1.6. Protective Advances .

Each U.S. Revolver Lender shall participate in each U.S. Revolver Protective Advance made to the U.S. Borrowers on a Pro Rata basis. Required Lenders may at any time revoke Administrative Agent’s authority to make further U.S. Revolver Protective Advances under clause (i) by written notice to Administrative Agent. Absent such revocation, the Administrative Agent’s determination that funding of a U.S. Revolver Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. (b) Canadian Protective Advances . The Canadian Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, at any time that any conditions in Section 6 are not satisfied, to make Canadian Loans as BA Equivalent Rate Loans (“ Canadian Protective Advances ”), (i) up to an aggregate amount of the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$5,000,000 outstanding at any time, if the Canadian Agent deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to enhance the collectibility or repayment of Canadian Obligations, as long as such Loans do not cause the Total Canadian Outstandings to exceed the Aggregate Canadian Commitments; or (ii) to pay any other amounts chargeable to the Canadian Borrower under any Loan Documents, including interest, costs, fees and expenses. Each Canadian Lender shall participate in each Canadian Protective Advance made to the Canadian Borrower on a Pro Rata basis. Required Lenders may at any time revoke Canadian Agent’s authority to make further Canadian Protective Advances under clause (i) by written notice to Canadian Agent. Absent such revocation, the Canadian Agent’s determination that funding of a Canadian Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. 2.1.7. Increase in U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments . Borrowers may request an increase in U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments from time to time upon notice to Administrative Agent, and, if applicable, Canadian Agent, as long as (a) the requested increase is in a minimum amount of U.S. $10,000,000 and is offered on the same terms as existing U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments, except for a closing (or similar) fee agreed to among Administrative Agent, Borrowers and the Lenders providing such increase, (b) subject to clause (e) below, increases under this Section do not exceed U.S. $600,000,000 in the aggregate and no more than three increases are made, (c) no reduction in U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1.4 has occurred prior to the requested increase, (d) to the extent any such increase is made to the Canadian Commitments, such increase shall result in an increase in the U.S. Revolver Commitments in an amount such that the ratio of the U.S. Revolver Commitments to the Canadian Commitments immediately following such increase is not less than the ratio that existed immediately prior to such increase, and (e) no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of any such increase. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Applicable Lenders of the requested increase and, within 10 Business Days thereafter (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its discretion), each Applicable Lender shall notify Administrative Agent if and to what extent such Lender commits to increase its U.S. Revolver Commitment and/or Canadian Commitment, as the case may be. Any Lender not responding within such period shall be deemed to have declined an increase. If Lenders fail to commit to the full requested increase, Eligible Assignees may issue additional U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments and become Lenders Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 78 hereunder upon entering into joinder documentation reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may allocate, in its discretion, the increased U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments among committing Applicable Lenders and, if necessary, Eligible Assignees.

Administrative Agent, Canadian Agent (if applicable), Borrowers, and new and existing Applicable Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements (including legal opinions) as Administrative Agent deems appropriate to evidence or in connection with the increase in and allocations of U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments. On the effective date of an increase, (i) all outstanding applicable Loans, applicable LC Obligations and other exposures under the U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments shall be reallocated among Applicable Lenders, and settled by the Applicable Agent if necessary, in accordance with Applicable Lenders’ adjusted shares of such U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments and (ii) Borrowers shall pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with such increase (including any breakage costs). 2.2.  [Intentionally Omitted.] 2.3.  Letter of Credit Facility . 2.3.1.

No Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) such Issuing Bank receives an LC Request and LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each U.S. LC Condition or Canadian LC Condition, as the case may be, is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender exists, such Lender or Borrowers have entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Applicable Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender. If, in sufficient time to act, the applicable Issuing Bank receives written notice from Required Lenders that a U.S. LC Condition or Canadian LC Condition, as the case may be, has not been satisfied, such Issuing Bank shall not issue the requested Letter of Credit. Prior to receipt of any such notice, no Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of U.S. LC Conditions or Canadian LC Conditions. (b) Letters of Credit may be requested by a U.S. Borrower or Canadian Borrower to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or as otherwise approved by the Applicable Agent in its Permitted Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 79 Discretion.

(c) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary.

The rights and remedies of each Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit. (d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Each Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Each Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Issuing Bank (other than (x) any Issuing Bank referred to in clause (i) of the definition thereof or (y) any Issuing Bank that otherwise agrees so in writing during the life of this Agreement) shall be required to issue any Letters of Credit other than standby letters of credit. In addition, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit if it is determined that the applicant or the account party is considered an “affiliate” of the Issuing Bank as such term is defined in Regulation W of the Federal Reserve.

Regardless of whether Borrower Agent or the Canadian Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of (x) Base Rate Loans, in the case of Letters of Credit issued in U.S. Dollars and (y) BA Equivalent Rate Loans, in the case of Letters of Credit issued in Canadian Dollars, in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due to the applicable Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each U.S. Revolver Lender and Canadian Lender, as the case may be, agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments, as the case may be, have terminated, a U.S. Revolver Overadvance or Canadian Overadvance, as the case may be, exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. The obligation of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be (i) absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (b) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (c) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (d) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder, (ii) joint and several and (iii) paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary.

Each Issuing Bank is issuing Letters of Credit in reliance upon this participation. If any Issuing Bank makes any payment under a Letter of Credit and the applicable Borrower or Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the Reimbursement Date, the Applicable Agent shall promptly notify the Applicable Lenders and each such Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to the Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 81 Applicable Agent, for the benefit of such Issuing Bank, the Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank shall furnish copies of any Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time. (c) The obligation of each Lender to make payments to the Applicable Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank in connection with such Issuing Bank’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; any waiver by Issuing Bank of a requirement that exists for its protection (and not a Borrower’s protection) or that does not materially prejudice a Borrower; any honor of an electronic demand for payment even if a draft is required; any payment of an item presented after a Letter of Credit’s expiration date if authorized by the UCC, the PPSA or applicable customs or practices; or any setoff or defense that any Obligor may have with respect to any Obligations.

Cash Collateral . If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that U.S. Revolver Availability or Canadian Availability, as the case may be, is less than zero, (c) after the Applicable Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five (5) Business Days prior to the Applicable Termination Date, then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall, at the applicable Issuing Bank’s or the Applicable Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account or benefit of such Borrower or Borrowers and pay to each applicable Issuing Bank the amount of all other outstanding LC Obligations of such Borrower or Borrowers owed to such Issuing Bank. The applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall, on demand by the applicable Issuing Bank or the Applicable Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of any Defaulting Lender that has not been Cash Collateralized by such Defaulting Lender. If any Borrower fails to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, the Applicable Lenders may (and shall upon direction of the Applicable Agent) advance, as U.S. Revolver Loans Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 82 or Canadian Loans, as the case may be, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments, as the case may be, have terminated, a U.S. Revolver Overadvance or Canadian Overadvance, as the case may be, exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied). 2.3.4. Resignation of Issuing Banks . Any Issuing Bank may resign at any time upon notice to the Applicable Agent and the applicable Borrower or Borrowers. On and after the effective date of such resignation, such Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Letter of Credit, but shall continue to have all rights and other obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder relating to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank prior to such date. To the extent requested by the Borrower Agent, the Applicable Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly appoint a replacement Issuing Bank, which, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers. SECTION 3.  INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES 3.1.  Interest . 3.1.1. Rates and Payment of Interest . (a) The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, at the Canadian Prime Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (iii) if a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; (iv) if a BA Equivalent Rate Loan, at the BA Equivalent Rate for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and (v) if any other Obligation (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Applicable Floating Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin. Interest shall accrue from the date the Loan is advanced or the Obligation is incurred or payable, until paid by the applicable Borrower or Borrowers. If a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day’s interest shall accrue. (b) During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower, or during any other Event of Default if Administrative Agent or Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment). Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Agents and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is fair and reasonable compensation for this. (c) Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) (x) with respect to any Applicable Offered Rate Loan, the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan; provided , however , that if any Interest Period for an Applicable Offered Rate Loan exceeds three (3) months, interest accrued on such Loan shall also be due and payable on the respective dates that fall every three (3) months after the beginning of such Interest Period and (y) with respect any Applicable Floating Rate Loan, on the first day of each month; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Applicable Commitment Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on demand . Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 83 Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand . 3.1.2. Application of Applicable Offered Rate to Outstanding Loans . (a) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, elect to convert any portion of Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any Applicable Offered Rate Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, an Applicable Offered Rate Loan. During any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required Lenders) declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as an Applicable Offered Rate Loan. (b) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as Applicable Offered Rate Loans, Borrower Agent or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, shall give Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as the case may be, a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date. Promptly after receiving any such notice, the Applicable Agent shall notify each Applicable Lender thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified). If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Applicable Offered Rate Loans, (i) Borrower Agent shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, it shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans and (ii) the Canadian Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, it shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Loan as a BA Equivalent Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month. Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, nor shall it have any liability with respect to, administration, submission or any other matter related to any rate described in the definition of LIBOR. 3.1.3. Interest Periods . In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any Applicable Offered Rate Loans, Borrower Agent or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, shall select an interest period (“ Interest Period ”) to apply, which interest period shall be a period of one month, two months, three months, six months or, with the approval of all affected Lenders, twelve months; provided , however , that: (a) the Interest Period shall commence on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or converted into, an Applicable Offered Rate Loan, and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the applicable calendar month at its end; Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 84 (b) if any Interest Period commences on a day for which there is no corresponding day in the applicable calendar month at its end or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such month; and if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the next Business Day; and (c) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Applicable Termination Date. 3.1.4. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable . If the Applicable Agent shall determine that on any date for determining LIBOR or the BA Equivalent Rate, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining such rate on the basis provided herein, then the Applicable Agent shall immediately notify the applicable Borrower or Borrowers of such determination. Until the Applicable Agent notifies the applicable Borrower or Borrowers that such circumstance no longer exists, the obligation of the Applicable Lenders to make Applicable Offered Rate Loans shall be suspended, and no further Loans may be converted into or continued as Applicable Offered Rate Loans. 3.2.  Fees . 3.2.1. Unused Line Fees . (a) From and after the Closing Date, the U.S. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of U.S. Revolver Lenders, a fee equal to the Unused Line Fee Rate times the amount by which the U.S. Revolver Commitments exceed the average daily Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings during any Fiscal Quarter. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each calendar quarter after the Closing Date and on the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans made to the U.S. Borrowers shall not be counted toward or considered usage of the U.S. Revolver Commitments for purposes of determining the unused line fee. (b) From and after the Closing Date, the Canadian Borrower shall pay to Canadian Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Canadian Lenders, a fee equal to the Unused Line Fee Rate times the amount by which the Canadian Commitments exceed the average daily Total Canadian Outstandings during any Fiscal Quarter. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each calendar quarter after the Closing Date and on the Canadian Commitment Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans made to the Canadian Borrower shall not be counted toward or considered usage of the Canadian Commitments for purposes of determining the unused line fee. 3.2.2. LC Facility Fees . The applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall pay (a) to the Applicable Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of the Applicable Lenders, a fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for Applicable Offered Rate Loans times the average daily amount available to be drawn under Letters of Credit issued for the account or benefit of such Borrower or Borrowers, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; (b) to the applicable Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit issued by it for the account or benefit of such Borrower or Borrowers (or such other amount as may be mutually agreed by such Borrower(s) and such Issuing Bank), which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 85 on the first day of each month; and (c) to the applicable Issuing Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit issued for the account or benefit of such Borrower or Borrowers, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred. During an Event of Default, the fee payable under clause (a) shall, subject to the Interest Act (Canada), be increased by 2% per annum. 3.2.3. Administrative Agent Fees . Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees described in the Fee Letter and any other fee letter executed in connection with this Agreement. 3.3.  Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection . 3.3.1. All computations of interest for Applicable Offered Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 365 days. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (a) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation (365) and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (b) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (c) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. Each determination by any Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not intended to be, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.9 , submitted to Borrower Agent or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, by the Applicable Agent or the affected Lender, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 days following receipt of the certificate. 3.3.2. EACH OF THE OBLIGORS CONFIRMS THAT IT FULLY UNDERSTANDS AND IS ABLE TO CALCULATE THE RATE OF INTEREST APPLICABLE TO EACH OF THE LOANS BASED ON THE METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING PER ANNUM RATES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT. Each Agent agrees that if requested in writing by the Borrower Agent, it will calculate the nominal and effective per annum rate of interest on any Loan outstanding at the time of such request and provide such information to the Borrower Agent promptly following such request; provided , that any error in any such calculation, or any failure to provide such information on request, shall not relieve the Borrowers or any other Obligors of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor result in any liability to the Administrative Agent or any Lender. EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR ASSERT, WHETHER BY WAY OF DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE, IN ANY PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THAT THE INTEREST PAYABLE UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE CALCULATION THEREOF HAS NOT BEEN ADEQUATELY DISCLOSED TO THE OBLIGORS WHETHER PURSUANT TO SECTION 4 OF THE INTEREST ACT (CANADA) OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW OR LEGAL PRINCIPLE. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 86 3.4.  Reimbursement Obligations . Borrowers shall reimburse Agents and Lenders for all Extraordinary Expenses. Borrowers shall also reimburse Agents for all reasonable legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by them in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including (i) any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of each Agent’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral and (ii) the Platform or any other dedicated agency web page on the internet to distribute to the Lenders and to other investors or potential investors any required documentation and financial information regarding the Loan Documents and the Loans; and (c) subject to the limits of Section 10.1.1(b) , each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral, whether prepared by any Agent’s personnel or a third party. Legal, accounting and consulting fees may be charged to Borrowers by Agents’ professionals at their usual and customary hourly rates for similar services, regardless of any reduced or alternative fee billing arrangements that any Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates may have with such professionals with respect to this or any other transaction. Borrowers acknowledge that counsel may provide the Administrative Agent with a benefit, such as a discount, credit or other accommodation, based on counsel’s overall relationship with the Administrative Agent, including fees paid hereunder. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting on financial statements or a Compliance Certificate), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Applicable Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of the Applicable Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 3.4 shall be due on demand . 3.5.  Illegality . If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder to make, maintain, fund or charge applicable interest or fees with respect to any Loans or Letters of Credit, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any Applicable Offered Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars in the London interbank market, any other relevant interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Applicable Agent, any obligation of such Lender to perform such obligations to make, maintain or fund such Loans or participate in such Letters of Credit (or to charge interest or fees with respect thereto), or to continue Applicable Offered Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Applicable Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrowers shall prepay the applicable Loans, Cash Collateralize the applicable LC Obligations or, in the case of the U.S. Borrowers and if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Base Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 87 3.6.  Inability to Determine Rates . The Applicable Agent will promptly notify Borrower Agent and Lenders if, in connection with any request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, an Applicable Offered Rate Loan (a) such Agent determines that (i) deposits (whether in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR or the BA Equivalent Rate for the requested Interest Period, or (b) such Agent or Required Lenders determine for any reason that LIBOR or the BA Equivalent Rate for the requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan. Thereafter, the obligation of the Applicable Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans or BA Equivalent Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended until the Applicable Agent (upon instruction by Required Lenders) withdraws such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower Agent or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of an Applicable Offered Rate Loan (and, in the case of the revocation of a request for a continuation of a BA Equivalent Rate Loan, the Canadian Borrower shall prepay such BA Equivalent Rate Loan) or, failing that, solely with respect to the Borrower Agent, the Borrower Agent will be deemed to have submitted a request for a Base Rate Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower Agent or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower Agent) that the Borrower Agent or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that: (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (b) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “ Scheduled Unavailability Date ”), or (c) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR, then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “ LIBOR Successor Rate ”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower Agent unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 88 If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the LIBOR component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement. 3.7.  Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy . 3.7.1. Increased Costs Generally . If any Change in Law shall: (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR) or any Issuing Bank; (b) subject any Recipient to Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit, U.S. Revolver Commitment, Canadian Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (c) impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of Credit, participation in LC Obligations, or U.S. Revolver Commitment or Canadian Commitment; and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan, U.S. Revolver Commitment or Canadian Commitment, or converting to or continuing any interest option for a Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower or Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 3.7.2. Capital Requirements . If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, such Issuing Bank’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations, to a Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 89 level below that which such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, such Issuing Bank’s and such holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower or Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered. 3.7.3. Compensation . Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the Lender or the Issuing Bank notifies Borrower Agent or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 3.8.  Mitigation . If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7 , or if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts with respect to a Lender under Section 5.9 , then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to it or unlawful. Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 3.9.  Funding Losses . If for any reason (other than default by a Lender) (a) any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, an Applicable Offered Rate Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of an Applicable Offered Rate Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, (c) the applicable Borrower or Borrowers fail to repay an Applicable Offered Rate Loan when required hereunder (or any notice of prepayment is rescinded or withdrawn), or (d) a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) is required to assign an Applicable Offered Rate Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period pursuant to Section 13.4 , then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall pay to the Applicable Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Applicable Lender all resulting losses and expenses, including loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds or from fees payable to terminate deposits of matching funds. Lenders shall not be required to purchase U.S. Dollar or Canadian Dollar deposits in any interbank or offshore U.S. Dollar or Canadian Dollar market to fund any Applicable Offered Rate Loan, but this Section shall apply as if each Lender had purchased such deposits. 3.10.  Maximum Interest . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (“ maximum rate ”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 90 the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. In addition to the foregoing, if any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrower or any other Obligor to make any payment of “interest” (as defined in Section 347 (the “ Criminal Code Section ”) of the Criminal Code (Canada)) or other amount payable to any Canadian Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would exceed the effective annual rate of interest lawfully permitted under the Criminal Code Section on the “credit advanced” (as defined in the Criminal Code Section) or would otherwise be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by such Canadian Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are defined in the Criminal Code Section) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Canadian Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Canadian Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Canadian Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of the Criminal Code Section. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with GAAP as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” under the Criminal Code Section shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Applicable Termination Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Applicable Agent shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, for the purposes of such determination. SECTION 4.  LOAN ADMINISTRATION 4.1.  Manner of Borrowing and Funding Loans . 4.1.1. Notice of Borrowing . (a) Whenever (x) U.S. Borrowers desire funding of a Borrowing of U.S. Revolver Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent, and (y) Canadian Borrower desires funding of a Borrowing of Canadian Loans, Canadian Borrower shall give Canadian Agent, a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by the Applicable Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the Business Day of the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) at least two Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of Applicable Offered Rate Loans. Notices received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, in the case of U.S. Revolver Loans, and (D) in the case of LIBOR Loans or BA Equivalent Rate Loans, the duration of the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one month if not specified). Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 91 (b) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and Secured Bank Product Obligations) shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds of such Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation. In addition, the Applicable Agent may, at its option, charge such Obligations against any operating, investment or other account of a U.S. Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, maintained with such Agent or any of its Affiliates. (c) If any Borrower maintains any disbursement account with any Agent or any Affiliate of any Agent, then presentation for payment of any Payment Item when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, in the case of the U.S. Borrowers, or a BA Equivalent Rate Loan, in the case of the Canadian Borrower, on the date of such presentation, in the amount of the Payment Item. The proceeds of such Loan may be disbursed directly to the disbursement account. 4.1.2. Fundings by Lenders . Each Applicable Lender shall timely honor its U.S. Revolver Commitment or Canadian Commitment, as the case may be, by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Loans that is properly requested hereunder. Except for Borrowings to be made as Swingline Loans, the Applicable Agent shall endeavor to notify the Applicable Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 12:00 noon on the proposed funding date for Base Rate Loans or by 3:00 p.m. at least two Business Days before any proposed funding of Applicable Offered Rate Loans. Each Applicable Lender shall fund to the Applicable Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by the Applicable Agent in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested funding date, unless the Applicable Agent’s notice is received after the times provided above, in which case the Applicable Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from the Applicable Lenders, the Applicable Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Loans as directed by Borrower Agent or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be. Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with such Agent, and such Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be. If a Lender’s share of any Borrowing or of any settlement pursuant to Section 4.1.3(b) is not received by the Applicable Agent, then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers agree to repay to the Applicable Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to the Borrowing. Subject to Section 3.8 , a Lender or Issuing Bank may fulfill its obligations under Loan Documents through one or more Lending Offices, and this shall not affect any obligation of Obligors under the Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations. 4.1.3. Swingline Loans; Settlement . (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, on any Business Day from and after the Closing until the Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, (i) the U.S. Swingline Lender shall advance Swingline Loans to the U.S. Borrowers up to an aggregate outstanding amount equal to U.S. $100,000,000 (and notwithstanding the fact that such Swingline Loans, when aggregated with the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings of such Person in its separate capacity as a U.S. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 92 Revolver Lender, may exceed the amount of the U.S. Revolver Commitment of the U.S. Swingline Lender); provided that, (x) after giving effect to any such Swingline Loan, the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings at such time (including the requested Swingline Loan) would not exceed the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base and (y) subject to the immediately preceding parenthetical, the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings and other exposure with respect to the U.S. Revolver Commitments (including its Pro Rata purchase of participations in Swingline Loans made by the U.S. Swingline Lender) of any U.S. Revolver Lender shall not exceed its U.S. Revolver Commitment and (ii) the Canadian Swingline Lender shall advance Swingline Loans to the Canadian Borrower up to an aggregate outstanding amount equal to U.S. $3,500,000 (and notwithstanding the fact that such Swingline Loans, when aggregated with the Total Canadian Outstandings of the Canadian Swingline Lender, may exceed the amount of the Canadian Commitment of such Person in its separate capacity as a Canadian Lender), unless, in either case, the funding is specifically required to be made by the Canadian Lenders hereunder; provided , that (x) after giving effect to any such Swingline Loan, the Total Canadian Outstandings at such time (including the requested Swingline Loan) would not exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base and (y) subject to the immediately preceding parenthetical, the Total Canadian Outstandings and other exposure with respect to the Canadian Commitments (including its Pro Rata purchase of participations in Swingline Loans made by the Canadian Swingline Lender) of any Canadian Lender shall not exceed its Canadian Commitment; provided , further , that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) after giving effect to any Swingline Loan the aggregate outstanding amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed U.S. $100,000,000 at any time, (ii) no Borrower shall use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan and (iii) no Swingline Lender shall be under any obligation to make any Swingline Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that there is, or after making such Swingline Loan there may be, Fronting Exposure. (b) Each Swingline Loan to the U.S. Borrowers shall constitute a Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan to the Canadian Borrower shall constitute a Canadian Prime Rate Loan for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to the U.S. Swingline Lender or Canadian Swingline Lender, as applicable, for its own account until Lenders have funded their participations therein as provided below. The obligation of Borrowers to repay Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of the applicable Swingline Lender and need not be evidenced by any promissory note. (c) Settlement among the Applicable Lenders and the applicable Swingline Lender with respect to Swingline Loans and other Loans shall take place on a date determined from time to time by such Swingline Lender (but at least weekly), on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by the applicable Swingline Lender to the Applicable Lenders. Between settlement dates, the applicable Swingline Lender may in its discretion, if it is an Agent, apply payments on Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by any Borrower or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender hereby purchases, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata participation in all Swingline Loans outstanding from time to time until settled. If a Swingline Loan Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 93 cannot be settled among Lenders, whether due to an Obligor’s Insolvency Proceeding or for any other reason, each Lender shall pay the amount of its participation in the Loan to the applicable Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after the applicable Swingline Lender’s request therefor. Lenders’ obligations to make settlements and to fund participations are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments, as the case may be, have terminated, a U.S. Revolver Overadvance or Canadian Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. (d) Each Borrowing of Swingline Loans shall be made upon the applicable U.S. Borrower's or Canadian Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the U.S. Swingline Lender or Canadian Swingline Lender, as applicable, in each case with a copy to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Persons in the preceding sentence not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 (and any amount in excess thereof shall be an integral multiple of $25,000), and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the U.S. Swingline Lender or Canadian Swingline Lender, as applicable, of a written Notice of Borrowing. Promptly after receipt by the U.S. Swingline Lender or Canadian Swingline Lender, as applicable, of any telephonic notice of Borrowing of Swingline Loans, the U.S. Swingline Lender or Canadian Swingline Lender, as applicable, will, provided , that all applicable conditions in this Section 4.1.3 and Section 6.3 are satisfied or waived in accordance with terms hereof, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such notice, make the amount of its Swingline Loans available to the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable. (e) Any Swingline Lender may resign at any time upon notice to the Applicable Agent and the applicable Borrower or Borrowers. On and after the effective date of such resignation, such Swingline Lender shall have no obligation to make Swingline Loans, but shall continue to have all rights and other obligations of a Swingline Lender hereunder relating to any Swingline Loan issued by such Swingline Lender prior to such date. To the extent requested by the Borrower Agent, the applicable Swingline Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly appoint a replacement Swingline Lender which, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers. 4.1.4. Notices . Borrowers may request, convert or continue Loans, select interest rates, and transfer funds based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions to the Applicable Agent. Borrowers shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to the Applicable Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if such notice differs materially from the action taken by the Applicable Agent or the Applicable Lenders pursuant to the telephonic or e-mailed instructions from Borrowers, the records of such Agent and such Lenders shall govern. No Agent or Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of any Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by any Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Borrower’s behalf. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 94 4.2.  Defaulting Lender . 4.2.1. Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments . For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations or rights to fund, participate in or receive collections with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit (including existing Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and LC Obligations), each Agent may exclude the U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian Commitments and Loans of a Defaulting Lender from the calculation of Pro Rata shares, it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any such calculation relating to a Non-Defaulting Lender’s obligations to fund and participate in respect of Loans and Letters of Credit shall not cause (a) the U.S. Revolver Loans and participation in U.S. LC Obligations of any such Non-Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Revolver Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s U.S. Revolver Commitment, or (b) the Canadian Loans and participation in Canadian LC Obligations of any such Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Canadian Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Canadian Commitment. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 14.1.1(c) . 4.2.2. Payments; Fees . Each Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to such Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to such Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. Each Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, or readvance the amounts to Borrowers hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its U.S. Revolver Commitment and/or Canadian Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under Section 3.2.1 . To the extent any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, Letter of Credit fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Section 3.2.2 shall be paid to such other Lenders. The Applicable Agent shall be paid all Letter of Credit fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not so reallocated. 4.2.3. Reallocation of Pro Rata Shares to Reduce Fronting Exposure . All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s U.S. Revolver Commitment and/or Canadian Commitment, as applicable) but only to the extent that (a) the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower Agent shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (b) such reallocation does not cause (i) the U.S. Revolver Loans and participation in U.S. LC Obligations of any Non-Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Revolver Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s U.S. Revolver Commitment, or (ii) the Canadian Loans and participation in Canadian LC Obligations of any Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Canadian Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Canadian Commitment. Subject to Section 14.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 95 4.2.4. Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans . If the reallocation described in Section 4.2.3 above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, subject to Section 4.5 , without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under Applicable Law, (a) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Fronting Exposure of the Lenders holding Swingline Loans and (b) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3.3 . 4.2.5. Status; Cure . The Applicable Agent may determine in its discretion that a Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender and the effective date of such status shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, absent manifest error. Borrowers, the Applicable Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, whereupon Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of the reinstated Lender’s U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian Commitments and Loans, and all outstanding Loans, LC Obligations and other exposures under the U.S. Revolver Commitments and Canadian Commitments shall be reallocated among the Applicable Lenders and settled by the Applicable Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender, including payment of any breakage costs for reallocated LIBOR Loans) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares. Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, the Applicable Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, no reallocation of Commitments and Loans to non-Defaulting Lenders and no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender. 4.3.  Number and Amount of Applicable Offered Rate Loans; Determination of Rate . Each Borrowing of Applicable Offered Rate Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of U.S.$1,000,000, plus any increment of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess thereof. No more than 16 Borrowings of Applicable Offered Rate Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all Applicable Offered Rate Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose. Upon determining LIBOR or the BA Equivalent Rate, as the case may be, for any Interest Period requested by U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, the Applicable Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower or Borrowers thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by such Borrower or Borrowers, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing. 4.4.  Borrower  Agent  .  Each Borrower hereby designates UNFI (“ Borrower Agent ”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base Certificates and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. Each Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. Each Agent and Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Each Agent, Issuing Bank and Lender shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 96 4.5.  One Obligation; Limitation on Obligations of Canadian Borrower . The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations constitute one general obligation of U.S. Borrowers and are secured by the Applicable Agent’s Lien on all Collateral; provided , however , that each Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each U.S. Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such U.S. Borrower. The Canadian Loans, Canadian LC Obligations and other Canadian Obligations constitute one general obligation of the Canadian Borrower and are secured by Canadian Agent’s Lien on all Collateral owned by Canadian Borrower. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Canadian Borrower shall not at any time be liable, directly or indirectly, for any portion of the Obligations other than the Canadian Obligations. 4.6.  Effect of Termination . On the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and each Secured Bank Product Provider may terminate its Bank Products in accordance with the terms thereof. Until Full Payment of the Obligations, all undertakings of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall continue, and the Applicable Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. No Agent shall be required to terminate its Liens unless it receives Cash Collateral or a written agreement, in each case satisfactory to it, protecting Agents and Lenders from the dishonor or return of any Payment Items previously applied to the Obligations. Sections 3.4, 3.7, 3.9, 5.5, 5.9, 5.10 , 12, 14.2 , this Section, and each indemnity or waiver given by an Obligor or Lender in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. SECTION 5.  PAYMENTS 5.1.  General Payment Provisions . 5.1.1. Except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, all payments of Obligations shall be made in U.S. Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law, and in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon on the due date. If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be made to the Canadian Agent, for the account of the Applicable Lenders to which such payment is owed, in Canadian Dollars in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any law from making any required payment hereunder in Canadian Dollars, such Borrower shall make such payment in U.S. Dollars in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Dollar payment amount. Any payment of an Applicable Offered Rate Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.9 . Any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Applicable Floating Rate Loans and then to Applicable Offered Rate Loans. 5.1.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, (a) payments (or portions thereof) made by a CFC or a FSHCO or, in either case, a Subsidiary thereof, pursuant to any provision of any Loan Document shall not, in any event, be applied to any U.S. Obligation and (b) no proceeds of Collateral that comprises the assets of a CFC or FSHCO or, in either case, a Subsidiary thereof, shall be Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 97 used to satisfy any U.S. Obligation and (c) no more than 65% of the voting Equity Interests of a CFC or FSHCO, in each case, shall be used to satisfy any U.S. Obligation. 5.2.  Repayment of Loans . Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Applicable Termination Date, unless payment is sooner as required hereunder. The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided , that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (A) two Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Applicable Offered Rate Loans and (B) on the Business Day of the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans, (2) any prepayment of Applicable Offered Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and whether Applicable Offered Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans are to be prepaid; provided , that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement but subject to Section 3.9 , the Borrowers may rescind any notice of prepayment under this Section 5.2 if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of this credit facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a U.S. Revolver Overadvance or a Canadian Overadvance exists, U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, shall, on the sooner of the Applicable Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding applicable Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings or the Total Canadian Outstandings, as the case may be, to the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base or the Canadian Borrowing Base, as the case may be. 5.3.  [Intentionally Omitted.] 5.4.  Payment of Other Obligations . Obligations other than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers (subject to Section 4.5 ) as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on demand made to the applicable Borrowers. 5.5.  Marshaling; Payments Set Aside . None of Agents or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, interim receiver, receiver manager or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred. 5.6.  Application and Allocation of Payments . 5.6.1. Application . Payments made by Borrowers hereunder shall be applied (a) first , as specifically required hereby; (b) second , to Obligations then due and owing; (b) third , to other Obligations specified by Borrowers; and (c) fourth , as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 98 5.6.2. Post-Default Allocation . Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Obligors, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated, subject to Section 4.5 , as follows, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement: (a) first , to all fees, indemnification, costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to any Agent; (b) second , to all amounts owing to any Swingline Lender on Swingline Loans, Overadvances, Protective Advances, and Loans and participations that a Defaulting Lender has failed to settle or fund; (c) third , to all amounts owing to Issuing Bank; (d) fourth , to all Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) constituting fees, indemnification, costs or expenses owing to Lenders; (e) fifth , to all Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) constituting interest; (f) sixth , to Cash Collateralize all LC Obligations; (g) seventh , to all Loans (other than Overadvances and Protective Advances), and to Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations to the extent a Bank Product Reserve has been established with respect thereto up to and including the amount most recently specified to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, if applicable; and (h) last , to all other Obligations. Amounts shall be applied to payment of each category of Obligations only after Full Payment of amounts payable from time to time under all preceding categories. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be paid ratably among outstanding Obligations in the category. Monies and proceeds obtained from an Obligor shall not be applied to its Excluded Swap Obligations, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to amounts obtained from other Obligors to preserve the allocations in any applicable category. Amounts distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations shall be the lesser of (i) the maximum Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations, as the case may be, last reported to the Administrative Agent, if applicable, and (ii) the actual Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations, as the case may be, as calculated by the methodology reported to the Administrative Agent, if applicable, for determining the amount due. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations, and may request a reasonably detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Secured Bank Product Provider. If the provider fails to deliver the calculation within five days following request, the Administrative Agent may assume the amount is zero. The allocations set forth in this Section are solely to determine the rights and priorities among Secured Parties, and may be changed by agreement of the affected Secured Parties, without the consent of any Obligor. This Section is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Obligor, and each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds subject to this Section. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 99 5.6.3. Erroneous Application . No Agent shall be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it). 5.7.  Application of Payments . While a Trigger Event is in effect, the ledger balance in the main Dominion Account for the Obligors (other than the Canadian Borrower) as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations and the ledger balance in the main Dominion Account for the Canadian Borrower as of the end of such Business Day shall be applied to the Canadian Obligations, in each case at the beginning of the next Business Day. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, and shall be made available to U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds while a Trigger Event is in effect, and agrees that each Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the applicable Obligations, in such manner as such Agent deems advisable. 5.8.  Loan Account; Account Stated . 5.8.1. Loan Account . The Applicable Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (“ Loan Account ”) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers resulting from each Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit from time to time. Any failure of such Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder. 5.8.2. Entries Binding . Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies the Applicable Agent in writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute. 5.9.  Taxes  . For purposes of this Section 5.9 and Section 5.10, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 5.9.1. Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Tax Payment . (a) All payments of Obligations by Obligors shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law (as determined by the Applicable Agent in its good faith discretion) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by an Agent or an Obligor, then the Applicable Agent or such Obligor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding in accordance with information and documentation provided pursuant to Section 5.10 and Applicable Law. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 100 (b) If any Agent or any Obligor is required by the Code to withhold or deduct Taxes, including backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (i) such Agent or Obligor, as applicable, to the extent required by Applicable Law, shall timely pay the full amount that it determines is to be withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (ii) to the extent the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. (c) If any Agent or any Obligor is required by any Applicable Law other than the Code to withhold or deduct Taxes from any payment, then (i) such Agent or Obligor, as applicable, to the extent required by Applicable Law, shall timely pay the full amount to be withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (ii) to the extent the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. 5.9.2. Payment of Other Taxes . Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the Applicable Agent’s option, timely reimburse such Agent for payment of, any Other Taxes. 5.9.3. Tax Indemnification . (a) Subject to Section 5.1.2 and 4.5, each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a joint and several basis, each Recipient against any Indemnified Taxes (including those imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by a Recipient in respect of, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to a Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Applicable Agent against any amount that a Lender or Issuing Bank fails for any reason to pay indefeasibly to such Agent as required pursuant to this Section. Each Borrower shall make payment within ten (10) days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Applicable Agent), or by the Applicable Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (b) Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a several basis, (i) the Applicable Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (but only to the extent Borrowers have not already paid or reimbursed such Agent therefor and without limiting Borrowers’ obligation to do so), (ii) Agents and Obligors, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to maintain a Participant register as required hereunder, and (iii) Agents and Obligors, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 101 by an Agent or an Obligor in connection with any Obligations, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall make payment within ten (10) days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by the Applicable Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 5.9.4. Evidence of Payments . If an Agent or an Obligor pays any Taxes pursuant to this Section, then upon request, such Agent shall deliver to Borrower Agent or Borrower Agent shall deliver to such Agent, as applicable, a copy of a receipt issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority evidencing the payment, a copy of any return required by Applicable Law to report the payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to such Agent or Borrower Agent, as applicable. 5.9.5. Treatment of Certain Refunds . Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall any Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, or to pay to any Lender or Issuing Bank, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of a Lender or Issuing Bank. If a Recipient determines in its discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.9), it shall pay the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such Recipient, shall repay to such Recipient the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph 5.9.5 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Recipient shall be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph 5.9.5 if such payment would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. In no event shall any Agent or any Recipient be required to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) available to any Obligor or other Person. 5.9.6. Survival .

Joint and Several Liability . Each U.S. Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agents and Secured Parties the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations, except its Excluded Swap Obligations, and all agreements under the Loan Documents. Each U.S. Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by any Agent or any Secured Party with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by any Agent or any Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by any Agent or any Secured Party in an Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 104 Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of any Agent or any Secured Party against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Obligations. 5.11.2. Waivers . (a) Each U.S. Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agents or Secured Parties to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. Each U.S. Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Obligations and waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to revoke any guaranty of any Obligations as long as it is a Borrower. It is agreed among each U.S. Borrower, Agents and Secured Parties that the provisions of this Section 5.11 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agents and Secured Parties would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each U.S. Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business. (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agents and Secured Parties may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non‑judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.11 . If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, any Agent or any Secured Party shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each U.S. Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of any Agent or any Secured Party to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any U.S. Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each U.S. Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. The Applicable Agent may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure, trustee’s or other sale, including any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by such Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether any Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 105 conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.11 , notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which any Agent or any Secured Party might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale. 5.11.3. Extent of Liability; Contribution . (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each U.S. Borrower’s liability under this Section 5.11 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such U.S. Borrower is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such U.S. Borrower’s Allocable Amount. (b) If any U.S. Borrower makes a payment under this Section 5.11 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “ Guarantor Payment ”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other U.S. Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each U.S. Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other U.S. Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “ Allocable Amount ” for any U.S. Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section  5.11  without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law. (c) Section 5.11.3(a) shall not limit the liability of any Borrower to pay or guarantee Loans made directly or indirectly to it (including Loans advanced hereunder to any other Person and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support its business, Secured Bank Product Obligations incurred to support its business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. Agents and Secured Parties shall have the right, at any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of Loans and Letters of Credit to a Borrower based on that calculation. (d) Each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each Specified Obligor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 106 (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 5.11 voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations. Each Obligor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Obligor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act. 5.11.4. Joint Enterprise . Each Borrower has requested that Agents and Secured Parties make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual advantage. Borrowers acknowledge that Agents’ and Secured Parties’ willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral of Borrowers on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request. 5.11.5. Subordination . Each Borrower (including Canadian Borrower) hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or setoff, that it may have at any time against any other Obligor, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Obligations.

Upon receipt of such notice, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as the case may be, which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders and ( provided no Default or Event of Default exists) Borrowers; provided , that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, then Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent may appoint a successor agent that is a financial institution reasonably acceptable to it, which shall be a Lender unless no Lender accepts the role or in the absence of such appointment, Required Lenders shall on such date assume all rights and duties of such Agent hereunder; it being understood and agreed that, regardless of whether or not a successor Agent has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “ Removal Effective Date ”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. 12.8.2. Co-Collateral Agent . If necessary or appropriate under Applicable Law, any Agent may appoint a Person to serve as a co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent under any Loan Document. Each right and remedy intended to be available to such Agent under such Loan Document shall also be vested in such agent. Secured Parties shall execute and deliver any instrument or agreement that the Applicable Agent may request to effect such appointment. If the Administrative Agent shall die, dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Applicable Agent until appointment of a new agent. 12.9.  Due Diligence and Non-Reliance . Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 162 own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder.

Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to such Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of such Agent or its Affiliates. 12.10.  Remittance of Payments and Collections . 12.10.1.

If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due by it to the Applicable Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid in full at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the rate determined by such Agent as customary for interbank compensation for two Business Days and thereafter at the Default Rate for Base Rate Loans. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to any Agent, nor shall any Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts held by any Agent pursuant to Section 4.2 . 12.10.3. Recovery of Payments . If any Agent pays any amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be received by such Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received, then such Agent may recover such amount from each Secured Party that received it. If any Agent determines that an amount received by it must be returned or paid to an Obligor or other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, such Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Secured Party. If any amounts received and applied by any Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by such Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, each Lender shall pay to such Agent, on demand , such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned. 12.11.  Individual Capacities . As a U.S. Revolver Lender, Bank of America, and as a Canadian Lender, Bank of America-Canada Branch, each shall have the same rights and remedies under the Loan Documents as any other U.S. Revolver Lender or Canadian Lender, as the case may be, and the terms “Lenders,” “U.S. Revolver Lenders,” “Canadian Lenders,” “Required Lenders” or any similar term shall include Bank of America in its capacity as a U.S. Revolver Lender and Bank of America-Canada Branch in its capacity as a Canadian Lender, as the case may be.

Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including a pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided , however , that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from its obligations hereunder nor substitute the pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto; provided , further , however, unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower Agent in writing, no assignment shall be made to a Disqualified Institutions. 13.3.2.

provided , that, for the avoidance of doubt, covenants and events of default, or exceptions thereto or related definitions, set forth herein that are customary for asset based lending facilities and not for term loan facilities shall not be subject to this Section 14.1.1(g) ; and (h) without the prior written consent of each Lead Arranger (in addition to the prior written consent of the Required Lenders), no modification shall be effective that affects the calculation of the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base on the Closing Date. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 170 Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, (i) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent have jointly identified any ambiguity, mistake, defect, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature or any necessary or desirable technical change, in each case, in any provision of any Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent shall be permitted, without the consent of any other party hereto, to amend such provision solely to address such matter as reasonably determined by them acting jointly and (ii) the Administrative Agent may amend any provision in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to make any necessary or desirable technical change (determined by the Administrative Agent acting reasonably) to account for any matter arising from the consummation of the Supervalu Acquisition and the entry into the Closing Date Loan Documents (including, without limitation, dating any Loan Document or updating the description thereof herein to more appropriately describe such Loan Document) subject solely to the prior written consent of the Borrower Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) but without the consent of any other party hereto; provided , that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), (x) the Administrative Agent may, but is not required to, post any such amendment to the Lenders and if such amendment is not objected to by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days thereafter such amendment shall be deemed to fall within the scope of discretion provided to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent under this paragraph and (y) any such amendment shall become binding on the parties hereto upon delivery to the Borrowers and Lenders of a copy thereof executed by the Administrative Agent and acknowledged by the Borrower Agent. 14.1.2. Limitations . The agreement of Borrowers shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, Agents and/or Issuing Banks as among themselves. Only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letter or any other agreement relating to fees or a Bank Product shall be required for any modification of such agreement, and no Bank Product provider (in such capacity) shall have any right to consent to modification of any Loan Document other than its Bank Product agreement. Any waiver or consent granted by Agents or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified. 14.1.3. Payment for Consents . No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent. 14.2.  Indemnity  . EACH BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY OBLIGOR OR OTHER PERSON. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is the result from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) any material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates or related parties (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction) or (iii) any dispute among Indemnitees (or their respective Affiliates or related parties) that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries (other than any claims against an Administrative Agent or a Lead Arranger in their capacity as such). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 14.2 shall not apply to any Claim on account of Taxes governed by (or excluded from the application of) Sections 3.7 or 5.9 . Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall a Canadian Loan Party have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect claims or liabilities of or against any U.S. Loan Party. Each Indemnitee agrees (by accepting the benefits hereof), severally and not jointly, to refund and return any and Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 171 all amounts paid by any Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries under this Section 14.2 to such Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Indemnitee shall, in consultation with the Borrower Agent, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any losses, Claims, damages, liabilities and expenses and shall give (subject to confidentiality or legal restrictions) such information and assistance to the Borrower Agent as it may reasonably request in connection with any proceedings. 14.3.  Notices and Communications . 14.3.1. Notice Address . Subject to Section 4.1.4 , all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Borrower, at Borrower Agent’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Acceptance), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 14.3 . Each such notice or other communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first- class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged or (d) if given by email, when sent absent receipt of a failure to deliver notice within 30 minutes of such notice or communication being sent (it being understood that an “out of office” reply does not constitute a failure to deliver notice for this purpose). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to any Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.4, 2.3, 3.1.2 , or 4.1.1 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice or other communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed received by all Borrowers. 14.3.2. Electronic Communications; Voice Mail . Electronic and telephonic communications (including e-mail, messaging, voice mail and websites) may be used.

Borrower Materials shall be delivered pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, including electronic delivery (if possible) upon request by Administrative Agent to an electronic system maintained by Administrative Agent (“ Platform ”).

Borrower Materials and other information relating to this credit facility may be made available to Secured Parties on the Platform, and Obligors and Secured Parties acknowledge that “public” information is not segregated from material non-public information on the Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Administrative Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information on the Platform nor the adequacy or functioning of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for any errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials or any issues involving the Platform. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT WITH RESPECT TO BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. Secured Parties acknowledge that Borrower Materials may include material non-public information of Obligors and should not be made available to any personnel who do not wish to receive such information or who may be engaged in investment or other market-related activities Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 172 with respect to any Obligor’s securities. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any liability to Borrowers, Secured Parties or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform, including any unintended recipient, nor for delivery of Borrower Materials and other information via the Platform, internet, e-mail or any other electronic platform or messaging system. 14.3.4. Non-Conforming Communications . Agents and Lenders may rely upon any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if they were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any electronic or telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower. 14.4.  Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations . Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Borrowers’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of a Borrower under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by such Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of such Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All reasonably documented, out-of-pocket payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses and reasonable attorney costs of one counsel for all Indemnitees and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee)) of Agents under this Section shall be reimbursed to Agents by Borrowers, on  demand  , with interest from the date incurred until paid in full, at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Agents under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall a Canadian Loan Party have any obligation to reimburse the Agents for any payments, costs or expenses incurred with respect to a U.S. Loan Party. 14.5.  Credit Inquiries . Agents and Lenders may (but shall have no obligation to) respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Obligor or Subsidiary. 14.6.  Severability . Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect. 14.7.  Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms . The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 173 14.8.  Counterparts; Execution . Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement. Any electronic signature, contract formation on an electronic platform and electronic record-keeping shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Upon request by any Agent, any electronic signature or delivery shall be promptly followed by a manually executed or paper document. 14.9.  Time is of the Essence . Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary herein or in another Loan Document, time is of the essence with respect to all Loan Documents and Obligations. 14.10.  Relationship with Lenders . The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for any Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of any Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute any Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of any Obligor. 14.11.  No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility . In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by any Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrowers and their Affiliates, on one hand, and any Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger, on the other hand; (ii) Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Agents, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrowers, any of their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Agents, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrowers and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrowers or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Agents, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document. 14.12.  Confidentiality  . Each of Agents, Lenders and Issuing Banks shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys, accountants and advisors, and to their respective Affiliates involved in the Transaction on a “need to know” basis and who are made aware of the confidential nature of such information and have been advised of this obligation to keep information of this type confidential; provided , that such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank shall remain liable for the breach of the provisions of this paragraph by such directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys, accountants and advisors, (b) on a confidential basis to any bona fide potential Lender, prospective Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 174 participant or swap counterparty (in each case, other than a Disqualified Institution and other persons to whom the Borrower Agent has affirmatively declined to consent to the syndication or assignment thereto prior to the disclosure of such confidential Information to such Person) that agrees to keep such information confidential in accordance with (x) the provisions of this paragraph for the benefit of the Borrower Agent or (y) other customary confidentiality language in a “click-through” arrangement, (c) as required by the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal, judicial or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law, regulation or compulsory legal process (in which case the applicable Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to inform the Borrower Agent promptly thereof to the extent lawfully permitted to do so (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any self-regulatory authority or governmental or regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority)), (d) to the extent requested by any bank regulatory authority having jurisdiction over any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (including in any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any self-regulatory authority or governmental or regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), (e) to the extent such Information: (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or other confidential obligation owed by such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank to the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries, Supervalu or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) becomes available to the Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank on a non- confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower Agent or on its behalf that, to such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank’s knowledge (after due inquiry), is not in violation of any confidentiality obligation owed to any Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, Supervalu or any of their respective Affiliates, (f) to the extent the Borrower Agent shall have consented to such disclosure in writing (which may include through electronic means), (g) financings for purposes of establishing any defense available under securities laws, including, without limitation, establishing a “due diligence” defense or to defend any claim related to this Agreement, (h) to the extent independently developed by such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank without reliance on confidential Information, or (i), solely with respect to the existence of this credit facility, to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this credit facility. As used herein, “ Information ” means all information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business other than any such information that is available to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a degree of care similar to that which it accords its own confidential information. 14.13.  Judgment  Currency  . If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Applicable Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Applicable Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “ Agreement Currency ”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Applicable Agent or any Lender in such Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 175 currency, the Applicable Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under Applicable Law). 14.14.  GOVERNING LAW . THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS). 14.15.  CONSENT TO FORUM . EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER NEW YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR  DISPUTE  RELATING  IN  ANY  WAY  TO  ANY  LOAN  DOCUMENTS,  AND  AGREES  THAT  ANY  SUCH  PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS  AND  DEFENSES  THAT  IT  MAY  HAVE  REGARDING  SUCH  COURT’S  PERSONAL  OR  SUBJECT  MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 14.3.1. Nothing herein shall limit the right of any Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by any Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.  RELEASE,  MATURITY,  SETTLEMENT,  COMPROMISE, 14.16.  WAIVERS  BY  BORROWERS  . TO  THE  FULLEST  EXTENT  PERMITTED  BY  APPLICABLE  LAW,  EACH BORROWER WAIVES (A) THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY (WHICH EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY ALSO WAIVES)  IN  ANY  PROCEEDING  OR  DISPUTE  OF  ANY  KIND  RELATING  IN  ANY  WAY  TO  ANY  LOAN  DOCUMENTS, OBLIGATIONS  OR  COLLATERAL;  (B)  PRESENTMENT,  DEMAND,  PROTEST,  NOTICE  OF  PRESENTMENT,  DEFAULT, NON-PAYMENT,  EXTENSION  OR  RENEWAL  OF  ANY COMMERCIAL  PAPER,  ACCOUNTS,  DOCUMENTS,  INSTRUMENTS,  CHATTEL  PAPER  AND  GUARANTIES  AT  ANY TIME  HELD  BY  ANY  AGENT  ON  WHICH  A  BORROWER  MAY  IN  ANY  WAY  BE  LIABLE,  AND  HEREBY  RATIFIES ANYTHING ANY AGENT MAY DO IN THIS REGARD; (C) NOTICE PRIOR TO TAKING POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF ANY COLLATERAL; (D) ANY BOND OR SECURITY THAT MIGHT BE REQUIRED BY A COURT PRIOR TO ALLOWING ANY  AGENT  TO  EXERCISE  ANY  RIGHTS  OR  REMEDIES;  (E)  THE  BENEFIT  OF  ALL  VALUATION,  APPRAISEMENT AND  EXEMPTION  LAWS;  (F)  ANY  CLAIM  AGAINST  ANY  AGENT,  ANY  ISSUING  BANK  OR  ANY  LENDER,  ON  ANY THEORY  OF  LIABILITY,  FOR  SPECIAL,  INDIRECT,  CONSEQUENTIAL,  EXEMPLARY  OR  PUNITIVE  DAMAGES  (AS OPPOSED  TO  DIRECT  OR  ACTUAL  DAMAGES)  IN  ANY  WAY  RELATING  TO  ANY  ENFORCEMENT  ACTION, OBLIGATIONS,  LOAN  DOCUMENTS  OR  TRANSACTIONS  RELATING  THERETO;  AND  (G)  NOTICE  OF  ACCEPTANCE HEREOF. EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVERS ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO  AGENTS,  ISSUING  BANKS  AND  LENDERS  ENTERING  INTO  THIS  AGREEMENT  AND  THAT  THEY  ARE  RELYING UPON  THE  FOREGOING  IN  THEIR  DEALINGS  WITH  BORROWERS.  EACH  BORROWER  HAS  REVIEWED  THE FOREGOING WAIVERS WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVED ITS JURY TRIAL AND OTHER RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

Agents and Lenders hereby notify Borrowers that pursuant to the Patriot Act, Agents and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Agents and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act. Agents and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Borrowers’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. The Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by any Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that such Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act. 14.18.  Waiver  of  Sovereign  Immunity  . To the extent the Canadian Borrower or any other Borrower that is a Canadian Subsidiary has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution or otherwise), the Canadian Borrower (and any other Borrower that is a Canadian Subsidiary) hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents, and agrees not to assert any such right of immunity in any such proceeding, whether in the United States and Canada or elsewhere. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Canadian Loan Party further agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section ‎14.18 shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act. 14.19.  Pari Passu Treatment . (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Administrative Agent may and, upon the request of the Required Lenders, shall, upon notice to each Lender, effect the remaining provisions of this Section 14.19 by causing each payment or prepayment of principal and interest received after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder to be distributed pari passu among the Lenders, in accordance with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Obligations owing to each Lender divided by the Total Outstandings. Such notice shall also attach a schedule setting forth the Total Outstandings at such time including a breakdown of the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings and the Total Canadian Outstandings. Nothing in this Section 14.19 shall constitute a guarantee by any Obligor of the obligations of any other Obligor. (b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section  11.2  and receipt of a notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (a) above, each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower (pursuant to Section 11.4 or otherwise), including a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or other security or interest arising from or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under the Bankruptcy Code, or any other insolvency, debtor relief or debt adjustment law or otherwise, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of the Loans, Letters of Credit, LC Obligations and other Obligations held by it as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of the Obligations held by it shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Obligations held by any other Lender, it shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased from such other Lender a participation in the Obligations held by such other Lender, so Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 177 that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Obligations and participations in Obligations held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Obligations then outstanding as the principal amount of the Obligations held by it prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim was to the principal amount of all Obligations outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim; provided , however , that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 14.19 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustments restored without interest. (c) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11.2 , each Lender agrees that, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to such Lender, which notice shall be provided upon the request of the Required Lenders or may be provided by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, such Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from each other Lender a participation in the risk associated with the Obligations held by such other Lender, so that the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations held by each Lender shall be equivalent to such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Obligations. Upon demand by the Administrative Agent, made at the request of the Required Lenders, each Lender that has purchased such participation (a “ Purchasing Lender ”) shall pay the amount of such participation to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender whose outstanding Loans and participations in LC Obligations exceed their Pro Rata share of the Obligations.

(b) Each Junior Representative and each other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party here- by agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Collateral, pursuant to any Junior Secured Obligations Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies, at any time prior to the associated Discharge of Senior Secured Debt Obligations secured, or intended to be secured, by such Collateral, then it shall hold such Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the applicable Senior Secured Ob- ligations Secured Parties and transfer such Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Senior Representative reasonably promptly after obtaining actual knowledge or notice from the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties that it has possession of such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral or proceeds or payments in respect thereof.

Upon the Discharge of Senior Secured Debt Obligations, the Senior Representative shall deliver to the Junior Representative any remaining Col- lateral (other than Canadian Collateral, as applicable) in which a Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party has a Senior Lien and proceeds thereof then held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements (such endorsements shall be without recourse and without representation or warranty) to the Junior Representative, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Junior Representative to the Junior Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Junior Documents, including any intercreditor agreement among the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties. Section 2.05. Release of Liens; Automatic Release of Junior Liens . (a) Each Junior Representative and each other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agrees that in the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition of Senior Secured Obligations Collateral subject to any Junior Lien (regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Junior Documents at the time of such sale, transfer or other disposition), such Junior Lien on such Collateral shall terminate and be released automatically and without further action if the applicable Senior Liens on such Collateral are released and if such sale, transfer or other disposition either (A) is then not prohibited by the Junior Documents (either pursuant to the terms of the Junior Documents or pursuant to a consent issued thereunder) or (B) occurs in connection with the foreclosure upon or other exercise of rights and remedies with respect to such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral (including, if the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral is ABL Priority Collateral, in connection with any liquidation of ABL Facility Collateral consented to by the ABL Agent); provided that such Junior Lien shall remain in place with respect to any proceeds of a sale, transfer or other disposition under this clause (a) that remain after the associated Discharge of Senior Secured Debt Obligations. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the Junior Representative and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agree that, with respect to any Deposit Account that would otherwise constitute Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, the requirement that a Junior Lien be perfected by control with respect to, such property or assets shall be waived automatically and without further action so long as the requirement that a Senior Lien attach to, or be perfected with respect to, Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 15 such property or assets is waived by the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties (or the Senior Representative) in accordance with the Senior Documents. (b) The ABL Agent and each Term Loan Debt Agent agrees that, with respect to the release of any Collateral, if the ABL Agent or such Term Loan Debt Agent, as applicable, at any time receives: (i) an Officer’s Certificate from the relevant Grantor stating that the conditions precedent in this Agreement and all other Secured Documents, (in each case) if any, relating to the release of such Collateral have been complied with; (ii) the proposed instrument or instruments releasing such Lien as to such property in recordable form, if applicable; and (iii) prior to the associated Discharge of Senior Secured Debt Obligations, the written confirmation of the applicable Senior Representative (or, at any time after the associated Discharge of Senior Secured Debt Obligations, each Junior Representative) (such confirmation to be given promptly following receipt of, and based solely on, the Officer’s Certificate described in clause (i) above) that, in its view, such release is permitted by Section 2.05(a) and the respective Secured Documents governing the Term Loan Debt Obligations or the ABL Debt Obligations, as applicable, the holders of which such Representative represents; then the ABL Agent or each Term Loan Debt Agent, as applicable, will execute (with such acknowledgements and/or notarizations as are required) and promptly deliver such release to the applicable Grantor after the date of receipt of the items required by this Section 2.05(b) by the applicable Representative. (c) Each Junior Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such releases and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Senior Representative to evidence and confirm any release of Junior Secured Obligations Collateral provided for in this Section 2.05 . Section 2.06. Certain Agreements With Respect to Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings . (a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against any Borrower, any of any Borrower’s Subsidiaries or any other Grantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. All references to any Borrower or any other Grantor shall include any Borrower or any other Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such person in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

To the extent such DIP Financing Liens are senior to, or rank equal with, the Senior Liens, the Junior Representative will, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties of the applicable Series, subordinate the Junior Liens on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral to (i) the Senior Liens (and all adequate protection liens on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral granted to the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties) and the DIP Financing Liens and (ii) any “carve out” for professional fees and United States Trustee fees and other payments from the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral agreed to by the Senior Representative, so long as the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties retain their valid, perfected and unvoidable Liens on all (1) the Junior Secured Obligations Collateral, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code, and (2) the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, as subordinated to the ex- tent set forth herein. (c) Each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agrees that it will not object to or oppose (i) a sale or other disposition of any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall have consented to such sale or disposition of such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral and all Senior Liens and Junior Liens will attach to the proceeds of the sale or other disposition with the same priorities set forth herein or (ii) any lawful exercise by any holder of claims in respect of any Senior Secured Obligations of the right to credit bid such claims under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code or in any sale in foreclosure of Collateral that is Senior Secured Obligations Collateral with respect to such claims. (d) (i) No Term Loan Debt Secured Party shall oppose (or support the opposition of any other Person) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to (A) any motion or other request by any ABL Secured Party for adequate protection with respect to ABL Agent’s Liens upon the ABL Priority Collateral, including any claim of any ABL Secured Party to post-petition interest, fees, or expenses as a result of the ABL Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral (so long as any post-petition interest, fees, or expenses paid as a result thereof is not paid from the proceeds of Term Priority Collateral), a request for the application of proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral to the ABL Debt Obligations, and request for additional or replacement Liens on post-petition assets of the same type as the ABL Priority Collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim, or (B) any objection by any ABL Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on such ABL Secured Party claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the ABL Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral. In addition, the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, may seek adequate protection of its junior interest in the Term Priority Collateral in the form of an additional or replacement Lien on post-petition assets of the same type as the Term Priority Collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; provided , that each Term Loan Debt Agent is also granted adequate protection in the same form that is grant- ed to the ABL Agent, which additional or replacement Lien on post-petition assets of the same type as the Term Priority Collateral or superpriority administrative claim (as applicable) is senior to that granted to the ABL Agent in respect of the Term Priority Collateral. Such Lien on post-petition assets of the same type as the Term Priority Collateral and/or superpriority administrative claim, if granted to the ABL Agent, will be subordinated to the adequate Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 17 protection Liens and/or superpriority administrative claims (as applicable) granted in favor of each Term Loan Debt Agent on such post- petition assets, and, if applicable, to the DIP Financing Liens of each Term Loan Debt Agent or any other Term Loan Debt Secured Party on such post-petition assets of the same type as the Term Priority Collateral. If the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, seeks or requires (or is otherwise granted) adequate protection of its junior interest in the Term Priority Collateral in the form of an additional or replacement Lien on post-petition assets of the same type as the Term Priority Collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim, then the ABL Agent, for itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that each Term Loan Debt Agent shall also be granted an additional or replacement Lien on such post-petition assets and/or a superpriority administrative claim as adequate protection of its senior interest in the Term Priority Collateral and that the ABL Agent’s additional or replacement Lien on post-petition assets of the same type as the Term Priority Collateral and/or superpriority administrative claim (as applicable) shall be subordinated to the additional or replacement Lien on post-petition assets of the same type as the Term Priority Col- lateral and/or superpriority administrative claim of each Term Loan Debt Agent on the same basis as the Liens of the ABL Agent on, and claims with respect to, the Term Priority Collateral are subordinated to the Liens of each Term Loan Debt Agent on, and claims with respect to, the Term Priority Collateral under this Agreement. If the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party receives as adequate protection a Lien on post-petition assets of the same type as the ABL Priority Collateral, then such post-petition assets shall also constitute ABL Priority Collateral to the extent of any allowed claim of the ABL Secured Parties secured by such adequate protection Lien and shall be subject to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the ABL Agent shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, in any stipulation or order granting adequate protection of its junior interest in the Term Priority Collateral, that such junior super-priority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims. (ii) No ABL Secured Party shall oppose (or support the opposition of any other Person) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to (A) any motion or other request by any Term Loan Debt Secured Party for adequate protection of any Term Loan Debt Agent’s Liens upon any of the Term Priority Collateral, including any claim of any Term Loan Debt Secured Party to post-petition interest, fees, or expenses as a result of any Term Loan Debt Liens on the Term Priority Collateral (so long as any post-petition interest, fees, or expenses paid as a result thereof is not paid from the proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral), a request for the application of proceeds of Term Priority Collateral to the Term Loan Debt Obligations, and request for additional or replacement Liens on post-petition assets of the same type as the Term Priority Collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim or (B) any objection by any Term Loan Debt Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on such Term Loan Debt Secured Party claiming a lack of adequate protection, with respect to any Term Loan Debt Agent’s Liens in the Term Priority Collateral. In addition, any Term Loan Debt Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan Debt Secured Parties, may seek adequate protection of its junior interest in the ABL Priority Collateral (other than the Canadian Collateral) in the form of an additional or replacement Lien on post-petition assets of the same type as the ABL Priority Collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim, subject to the provisions of this Agreement; provided , that the ABL Agent is also granted adequate protection in the same form that is granted to the applicable Term Loan Debt Agent, which additional or replacement Lien on post- petition assets of the same type as the ABL Priority Collateral and/or superpriority administrative claim (as applicable) granted in favor of the ABL Agent is senior to that granted to the applicable Term Loan Debt Agent in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral.

If any Term Loan Debt Agent, for itself and on behalf of any Term Loan Debt Secured Parties, seeks or requires (or is otherwise granted) adequate protection of its junior interest in the ABL Priority Collateral (other than the Canadian Collateral) in the form of an additional or replacement Lien on the post-petition assets of the same type as the ABL Priority Collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim, then such Term Loan Debt Agent, for itself and the applicable Term Loan Debt Secured Parties, agrees that the ABL Agent shall also be granted an additional or replacement Lien on such post-petition assets and/or a super- priority administrative claim as adequate protection of its senior interest in the ABL Priority Collateral and that such Term Loan Debt Agent’s additional or replacement Lien on such post-petition assets of the same type as the ABL Priority Collateral and/or superpriority administrative claim shall be subordinated to the additional or replacement Lien and/or superpriority administrative claim of the ABL Agent on the same basis as the Liens of such Term Loan Debt Agent on and claims with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral are subordinated to the Liens of the ABL Agent on and claims with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral under this Agreement. If any Term Loan Debt Agent or any Term Loan Debt Secured Party receives as adequate protection a Lien on post-petition assets of the same type as the Term Priority Collateral, then such post-petition assets shall also constitute Term Priority Collateral to the extent of any allowed claim of the applicable Term Loan Debt Secured Parties secured by such adequate protection Lien and shall be subject to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Term Loan Debt Agent shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Debt Secured Parties, in any stipulation or order granting adequate protection of its junior interest in the ABL Priority Collateral (other than the Canadian Collateral), that such junior super-priority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims. (e) Each of the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties waives any claim such Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party may now or hereafter have against the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party (or their representatives) arising out of any election by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such party’s Senior Secured Obligations Collateral. (f) Prior to any Discharge of Senior Secured Debt Obligations and any DIP Financing provided by the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, no Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party shall seek relief from the automatic stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral unless (i) otherwise consented to by the Senior Representative or (ii) the Senior Representative or Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall seek relief from the automatic stay with respect to such Collateral to commence a lien enforcement action with respect to such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral. No Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party will object to or otherwise contest: any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of the Senior Secured Obligations made by the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party (or their representatives). (g) Each of the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties hereby agrees that (i) it will not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 19 Obligations Secured Party (or their representatives) for allowance of Senior Secured Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Senior Representative’s Lien on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral; and (ii) prior to any Discharge of Senior Secured Debt Obligations, will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code senior to or on a parity with the Liens on the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral. (h) Each Term Loan Debt Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Debt Secured Par- ties under the applicable Series, and the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, acknowledge and intend that: the grants of Liens pursuant to the Term Loan Debt Security Documents, on the one hand, and the ABL Security Documents, on the other hand, constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the ABL Debt Obligations are fundamentally different from the Term Loan Debt Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or liquidation proposed or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and the claims of the Term Loan Debt Secured Parties in respect of any Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Debt Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions from the Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Debt Obligations and Term Loan Debt Obligations against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or the Term Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is Junior Secured Obligations Collateral), the ABL Secured Parties or the Term Loan Debt Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, expenses, and other charges that are available from the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral for each of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Debt Secured Parties (regardless of whether any such claims for post-petition interest, fees, expenses, or other charges may or may not be enforceable, allowed or allowable in whole or in part as against UNFI or any of the other Grantors in the applicable Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding(s) pursuant to Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise), respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of any claims in respect of the Junior Secured Obligations from, or with respect to, such applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, with the holder of such claims hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from, or with respect to, such applicable Senior Secured Obligations Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing their aggregate recoveries. This Section 2.06(h) is intended to govern the relationship between the classes of claims held by the ABL Secured Par- ties, on the one hand, and a collective class of claims comprised of each series of claims of the Term Loan Debt Secured Parties (as opposed to separate classes of each such series of claims), on the other hand, and, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing set forth herein shall in any way alter or modify the relationship of each series of such separate claims held by the holders of the Term Loan Debt Obligations, including as set forth in any Term Intercreditor Agreement, or otherwise cause such different claims to be combined into one or more classes or otherwise classified in a manner that violates such Term Intercreditor Agreement. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 20 (i) If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of the ABL Debt Obligations and on account of the Term Loan Debt Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Debt Obligations and on account of the Term Loan Debt Obligations are secured by Liens upon the Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such debt obligations and the distribution of proceeds thereof. (j) To the extent that any Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar pro- vision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Collateral with respect to which it has a Junior Lien, such Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party under its Junior Documents, agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of the Senior Representative; provided that if requested by the Senior Representative, such Junior Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Senior Representative, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights. (k) No Junior Representative or any other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party may support or vote in favor of any plan of reorganization (and each shall be deemed to have voted to reject any Plan of Reorganization) that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Section 2.07. Reinstatement . If any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of UNFI or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “ Recovery ”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff, recoupment or otherwise, then the Senior Secured Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred, and the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall be entitled to a future Discharge of Senior Secured Debt Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior terminationshall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party under its Junior Documents, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement. Section 2.08. Entry Upon Premises by the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties; Intellectual Property License . (a) If the ABL Agent takes any enforcement action with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the Term Loan Debt Secured Parties (i) shall reasonably cooperate with the ABL Agent (at the sole cost and expense of the ABL Agent and subject to the condition that the Term Loan Debt Secured Parties shall have no obligation or duty to take any action or refrain from taking any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any liability or damage to the Term Loan Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. #91162358v46 21 Debt Secured Parties unless the ABL Secured Parties fully indemnify such Term Loan Debt Secured Parties for such liability or damage) in its efforts to enforce its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral and to finish any work- in-process and assemble the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) shall not take any action designed or intended to hinder or restrict in any respect the ABL Agent from enforcing its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral or from finishing any work-in-process or assembling the ABL Priority Collateral, and (iii) subject to the rights of any landlords under real estate leases, shall permit the ABL Agent, its employees, agents, advisers and representatives, at the sole cost and expense of the ABL Secured Parties and upon reasonable advance notice, to enter upon and use the Term Priority Collateral (including equipment, processors, computers and other machinery related to the storage or processing of records, documents or files), for a period of at least 180 days after the taking of such enforcement action, for purposes of (1) assembling and storing the ABL Priority Collateral and completing the processing of and turning into finished goods of any ABL Priority Collateral consisting of work-in-process, (2) selling any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located on such Term Priority Collateral, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise, (3) removing any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located on such Term Priority Collateral, or (4) taking reasonable actions to protect, secure and otherwise enforce the rights of the ABL Secured Parties in and to the ABL Priority Collateral; provided , however , that nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict the rights of any Term Loan Debt Agent from selling, assigning or otherwise transferring any Term Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of such 180- day period if the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section. If any stay or other order prohibiting the exercise of remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, such 180-day period shall be tolled during the pendency of any such stay or other order. If the ABL Agent conducts a public auction or private sale of the ABL Priority Collateral at any of the real property included within the Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall provide each Term Loan Debt Agent with reasonable notice and use reasonable efforts to hold such auction, or sale in a manner which would not unduly disrupt such Term Loan Debt Agent’s use of such real property.

In addition, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Secured Debt Obligations occurs, the Term Loan Debt Agents and the Term Loan Debt Secured Parties each hereby consents to the application, prior to the receipt by the ABL Agent of an Enforcement Notice issued by any Term Loan Debt Agent, of cash or other proceeds of Collateral, deposited under Account Agreements to the repayment of ABL Debt Obligations pursuant to the ABL Debt Documents; provided that after the receipt by the ABL Agent of an Enforcement Notice from any Term Loan Debt Agent, any identifiable proceeds of Term Priority Collateral (whether or not deposited under Account Agreements with the ABL Agent) shall be treated as Term Priority Collateral.

Proceedings and investigations pending or threatened against Borrowers or Subsidiaries: SCHEDULE 9.1.16 LITIGATION  • In December 2008, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin against Supervalu alleging that a 2003 transaction between Supervalu and C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. (“ C&S ”) was a conspiracy to restrain trade and allocate markets. In the 2003 transaction, Supervalu purchased certain assets of the Fleming Corporation as part of Fleming Corporation’s bankruptcy proceedings and sold certain assets of Supervalu to C&S that were located in New England. Three other retailers filed similar complaints in other jurisdictions and the cases were consolidated and are proceeding in the United States District Court in Minnesota. The complaints allege that the conspiracy was concealed and continued through the use of non-compete and non-solicitation agreements and the closing down of the distribution facilities that Supervalu and C&S purchased from each other. Plaintiffs are divided into Midwest plaintiffs and New England plaintiff and are seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. On June 19, 2015, the District Court Magistrate Judge entered an order that decided a number of matters including granting Midwest plaintiffs' request to seek class certification for certain Midwest Distribution Centers and denying New England plaintiff’s request to add an additional New England plaintiff and denying plaintiffs’ request to seek class certification for a group of New England retailers. In September 2015, the New England plaintiff appealed to the 8th Circuit the denial of the request to add an additional New England plaintiff and to seek class certification for a group of New England retailers and the hearing before the 8th Circuit occurred on May 17, 2016. On September 7, 2016, the District Court granted Midwest plaintiffs’ motion to certify five Midwest distribution center classes, only one of which sued Supervalu (the non-arbitration Champaign distribution center class). On March 1, 2017, the 8th Circuit denied the New England plaintiff’s appeals seeking to join an additional New England plaintiff and the appeal seeking the ability to move for class certification of a smaller New England class. At a mediation on May 25, 2017, Supervalu reached a settlement with the non-arbitration Champaign distribution center class, which is the one Midwest class suing Supervalu. Supervalu and the Midwest plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement and the Court granted final approval of the settlement on November 17, 2017. The material terms of the settlement include: (1) denial of wrongdoing and liability by Supervalu; (2) release of all Midwest plaintiffs’ claims against Supervalu related to the allegations and transactions at issue in the litigation that were raised or could have been raised by the non- arbitration Champaign distribution center class; and (3) payment by Supervalu of $8.75 million. There is no contribution between C&S and Supervalu, and C&S did not settle the claims alleged against them. The New England Village Markets plaintiff is not a party to the settlement and is pursuing its individual claims and potential class actions claims against Supervalu, which at this time are determined as remote. On February 15, 2018, Supervalu filed a summary judgment and Daubert motion and the New England plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. The hearing on the motions occurred Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. S-9.1.16- 1 on May 16, 2018, and on July 27, 2018, the Court ruled in Supervalu’s favor granting both the Daubert and summary judgment motions. On August 15, 2018, the plaintiff appealed to the 8 th Circuit. • In August and November 2014, four class action complaints were filed against Supervalu relating to the criminal intrusions into its computer network announced by Supervalu in fiscal 2015 (the “ Criminal Intrusion ”). The cases were centralized in the Federal District Court for the District of Minnesota under the caption In Re: SUPERVALU INC. Customer Data Security Breach Litigation. On June 26, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint. Supervalu filed a Motion to Dismiss the Consolidated Class Action Complaint and the hearing took place on November 3, 2015. On January 7, 2016, the District Court granted the Motion to Dismiss and dismissed the case without prejudice, holding that the plaintiffs did not have standing to sue as they had not met their burden of showing any compensable damages. On February 4, 2016, the plaintiffs filed a motion to vacate the District Court’s dismissal of the complaint or in the alternative to conduct discovery and file an amended complaint, and Supervalu filed its response in opposition on March 4, 2016. On April 20, 2016, the District Court denied plaintiffs’ motion to vacate the District Court’s dismissal or in the alternative to amend the complaint. On May 18, 2016, plaintiffs appealed to the 8th Circuit and on May 31, 2016, Supervalu filed a cross-appeal to preserve its additional arguments for dismissal of the plaintiffs’ complaint. On August 30, 2017, the 8th Circuit affirmed the dismissal for 14 out of the 15 plaintiffs finding they had no standing. The 8th Circuit did not consider Supervalu’s cross-appeal and remanded the case back for consideration of Supervalu’s additional arguments for dismissal against the one remaining plaintiff. On October 30, 2017, Supervalu filed its motion to dismiss the remaining plaintiff and on November 7, 2017, the plaintiff filed a motion to amend its complaint. The Court held a hearing on the motions on December 14, 2017, and on March 7, 2018, the District Court denied plaintiff’s motion to amend and granted Supervalu’s motion to dismiss. On March 14, 2018, plaintiff appealed to the 8th Circuit. • On June 30, 2015, Supervalu received a letter from the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“ OCR ”) seeking documents and information regarding Supervalu’s HIPAA breach notification and reporting from 2009 to the present. The letter indicates that the OCR Midwest Region is doing a compliance review of Supervalu’s alleged failure to report small breaches of protected health information related to its pharmacy operations (e.g., any incident involving less than 500 individuals). On September 4, 2015, Supervalu submitted its response to OCR’s letter. [***]. The potential penalties related to the issues being investigated are up to $50 thousand per violation (which can be counted per day) with a $1.5 per calendar year maximum for multiple violations of a single provision (with the potential for finding violations of multiple provisions each with a separate $1.5 per calendar year maximum); however, as noted above, any actual penalties will be determined only after consideration by OCR of various factors, including the nature of any violation, remedial actions taken by Supervalu and other factors determined relevant by OCR. Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. S-9.1.16- 2 • On September 21, 2016, Supervalu’s retail banner Farm Fresh received an administrative subpoena issued by the Drug Enforcement Administration (“ DEA ”) on September 9, 2016. In addition to requesting information on Farm Fresh’s pharmacy policies and procedures generally, the subpoena also requested the production of documents that are required to be kept and maintained by Farm Fresh pursuant to the Controlled Substances Act and its implementing regulations. On November 23, 2016, Farm Fresh responded to the subpoena and is cooperating fully with DEA’s additional requests for information. On February 8, 2018, Farm Fresh received a letter from the US Attorney’s Office asserting violations of the Controlled Substances Act and the potential for penalties. Farm Fresh provided its response to the alleged violations on April 30, 2018., and discussions with the DEA/USAO continue. While Supervalu cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time, Supervalu does not believe that a monetary loss is probable. However, Supervalu believes that a monetary loss is reasonably possible, but cannot estimate the amount of any such loss as Supervalu does not know the amount of monetary penalties, if any, the DEA may seek. [***]. • On November 30, 2015, an amended complaint was filed alleging that Supervalu and Albertson's pharmacies overcharged government health programs (Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare) for prescriptions. This matter started in 2012 when Supervalu received a subpoena from the Department of Justice seeking various documents regarding the Company's price match program and pharmacy prescription pricing. We fully cooperated with the government and provided the documents requested along with a white paper as to why we didn't believe we had overcharged government health programs. We heard nothing further on this matter until we learned in September 2015 that there had been a Qui Tam action filed by Schutte and Yarberry in August 2011. The Government declined to pursue the matter on May 22, 2015, and the court unsealed the case on May 27, 2015. The relators (Yarberry and Schutte) decided to pursue the matter despite the government's declination. They filed an amended complaint asserting that Supervalu and Albertson’s defrauded government health programs in several states when reporting and calculating Usual & Customary (U&C) pricing for reimbursement from government health programs. The relators assert that when Supervalu price matched certain competitors' generic prescription prices it should have adjusted its U&C price to match that of the price matched pricing. On January 29, 2016, Supervalu filed a Motion to Dismiss and on October 21, 2016 the Court denied the motion. On February 2, 2018, the plaintiffs submitted expert reports asserting single damages of $169M, but recently corrected an error which reduced its single damages to $139M. Based on our expert's analysis of the report, and assuming plaintiffs' theory is correct which we vigorously dispute, Supervalu’s share would be single damages of approximately $26M. Under the False Claims Act damages are trebled and penalties are imposed based on the number of false claims. On May 21, 2018, we filed our motions for Summary Judgment and a Daubert motion (to exclude experts) and plaintiffs filed motions for summary judgment. Plaintiffs also filed Summary Judgment and Daubert motions. The parties are waiting for the Court to rule on the motions. The trial date is currently scheduled for December 4, 2018. • On August 24, 2018, two class action complaints ( Wallace v. Supervalu Inc., et.al; Gusinsky v. Supervalu, Inc. et. al.) were filed in Delaware Federal District Court Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. S-9.1.16- 3 alleging violations of securities laws as a result of the proposed merger with United Natural Foods, Inc. The complaints allege that the Supervalu’s proxy statement fails to disclose material information necessary for shareholders to assess the fairness of the merger. 2.

[***] 3. Supervalu has withdrawn from certain Multiemployer Plans which could result in Supervalu incurring withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA in the future. Supervalu’s estimate of such potential liability is set forth in Supervalu’s Annual Report on Form 10- K, as filed with the SEC on April 24, 2018. 4. The SUPERVALU Retirement Plan and Unified Grocers, Inc. Cash Balance Pension Plan have Unfunded Pension Liabilities. 5. On April 24, 2018, Supervalu announced that it is pursuing the sale of the corporately owned and operated retail operations of its Shop ‘n Save retail banner based in the Saint Louis, Missouri region (including the operations of the distribution center dedicated to supplying such retail operations) and that those operations are now reported in Supervalu’s financial statements as assets held for sale within discontinued operations. The sale or closure of certain of these operations could result in triggering withdrawal liability under ERISA. 6.

SVU agrees to assume and guarantee to pay all liabilities and obligations which Albertson’s, Inc. may incur as a self-insurer of its California workers’ compensation liabilities on or after 7/27/2006 through 3/21/2013, when Supervalu completed the sale of New Albertson’s Inc. (“ NAI ”). August 8, 2007, Agreement of Assumption and Guarantee of Workers’ Compensation Liabilities executed by SVU for the benefit of American Drug Stores LLC in consideration for the Department of Industrial Relations permission for American Drug Store LLC to operate as certified self-insured employers in the State of California. SVU agrees to assume and guarantee to pay all liabilities and obligations which American Drug Store LLC may incur as a self-insurer of its California workers’ compensation liabilities arising on or after 8/3/2007 through 3/21/2013, when Supervalu completed the sale of NAI.

September 8, 2010, Agreement of Assumption and Guarantee of Worker’s Compensation Liabilities executed by SVU for the benefit of New Albertson’s, Inc. in consideration for the Department of Industrial Relations permission for NAI to operate as certified self-insured employers in the State of California.

ASC Notes Guarantee Supervalu has guaranteed certain debt obligations of American Stores Company (“ ASC ”). In connection with the NAI sale on March 21, 2013, AB Acquisition assumed the ASC debt but the existing guarantee as provided by SVU was not released and SVU continues as guarantor. Concurrently with the NAI sale, AB Acquisition entered into an agreement with Supervalu to indemnify SVU for any consideration used to satisfy the guarantee by depositing $467,000,000 in cash into an escrow account, which provides Supervalu first priority interest and the trustee of the ASC bondholders’ second priority interest in the collateral balance. On January 24, 2014, ASC successfully tendered for $462,000,000 of the $467,000,000 notes outstanding under the ASC indenture. The escrow account balance has since been reduced to below $4,000,000, reflecting the approximate amount of ASC notes still outstanding under the ASC indenture.
