encumbered by a Mortgage is at any time located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency) as a special flood hazard area with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under the Flood
Laws, then the Company or applicable Grantor shall (i) maintain, cause to be maintained, with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in amounts and otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations

than real property) which would constitute Collateral but for the fact that it is not already subject to the Collateral Documents, the Company shall, in each case, at the Company’s expense: 

(i) furnish to the Collateral Agent (for further distribution to each holder of the Notes via the Platform as contemplated by
Section 7.4), a description of any Material Leased Property and Material Owned Real Property of such Person, in detail reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Requisite Secured Parties;

extent required by the Security Agreement)) required to subject the applicable assets of such Person or such acquired property to a legal, valid and enforceable first priority perfected Lien (subject to Liens permitted under this Agreement) in favor

Date, securing payment of the Secured Obligations; and

Parties, as to the validity and enforceability of the agreements entered into pursuant to this Section 9.8(a) and as to such other related matters as the Collateral Agent or Requisite
Secured Parties may reasonably request. 
 (b) Within 90 days of (x) any entity (other than BRP LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company) becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.7(a) or a Reinstated Grantor, (y) the acquisition by any Grantor of any Material Leased Property or Material Owned Real Property or (z) any property of any
Grantor becoming Material Leased Property or Material Owned Real Property after the Third Amendment Effective Date, the Company shall, in each case, at the Company’s expense: 

(i) take, and cause such Person to take, whatever action (including the recording of Mortgages and the filing of UCC financing
statements) as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent or the Requisite Secured Parties in its or their reasonable discretion to vest in the Collateral Agent (or in any representative of the Collateral Agent designated by
it) valid and subsisting Liens on such Material Leased Property and Material Owned Real Property; and 
 (ii) upon the
request of the Collateral Agent or the Requisite Secured Parties in its or their reasonable discretion, a signed copy of an opinion, addressed to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, of counsel for the applicable Grantors reasonably

Requisite Secured Parties may reasonably request. 
 (c) The time periods set forth in this Section 9.8 may be extended
upon the request of the Company, if the Company and the Grantors are diligently pursuing same, in the reasonable discretion of the Collateral Agent and the Requisite Secured Parties. Any documentation delivered pursuant to this Section 9.8
shall constitute a Financing Agreement hereunder and any such document creating or purporting to create a Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall constitute a Collateral Document under this Agreement. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.8, with respect to any Material Leased Property with
respect to which any Grantor is the lessee and which is required to be encumbered with a first priority Mortgage pursuant to this Section 9.8, (i) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (y) (1) a
memorandum of lease in recordable form with respect to such leasehold interest, executed and acknowledged by the lessor of such leasehold interest, or (2) evidence that the applicable lease with respect to such leasehold interest or a
memorandum thereof has been recorded in all places necessary, in each of the Collateral Agent’s and the Requisite Secured Parties’ reasonable judgment, to give constructive notice to third-party
purchasers of such leasehold interest, and (z) any lessor consent or approval of such Mortgage as may be required pursuant to the terms of the applicable lease with respect to such leasehold interest; and (ii) if the Company shall fail to
obtain the documents referred

	NRP (Operating) LLC		Third Amendment

  

 
to in clauses (y) or (z) above with respect to any such leasehold interest, after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so, the Company shall have no further obligation to comply
with this Section 9.8(d) with respect to the applicable Material Leased Property. As used in this Section 9.8(d), “commercially reasonable efforts” shall require the Company to commence the matter referred to with diligence and
in a manner consistent with customary business practices, but shall not require that the Company commence litigation or expend any sums of money except such sums as may be required to compensate a lessor for reasonable expenses in reviewing the
applicable documentation (including reasonable legal fees in connection with such review). The Company shall promptly, upon reasonable request, provide the Collateral Agent (for further distribution to each holder of the Notes via the Platform as
contemplated by Section 7.4) with a report in reasonable detail summarizing the commercially reasonable efforts undertaken to obtain the items referenced in this Section 9.8(d). 

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall at all times ensure that the Company and any
Subsidiary of the Company that is a grantor pledging any of its assets to secure the obligations in respect of any Material Credit Facility is also a grantor pledging such assets to secure the obligations with respect to this Agreement, the Other
Agreements and the Notes and is a party to any applicable Collateral Documents necessary to effectuate the foregoing. 

Section 9.9. Further Assurances. The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, at its own cost and expense, to promptly
(a) correct any material defect or error that may be discovered in any Financing Agreement or in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or recordation thereof and (b) do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file,
register and re-register any and all such further acts, deeds, certificates, assurances and other instruments the Collateral Agent or Required Holders may reasonably require from time to time in order to (x) carry out more effectively the
purposes of the Financing Agreements, (y) to further evidence and more fully describe the Collateral intended as security for the Secured Obligations or to state more fully the obligations secured therein, and (z) perfect, protect and
maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Collateral Documents and any of the Liens intended to be created thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement and in the other Financing Agreements. 

Section 9.10. Post-Third Amendment Effective Date Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
the other Financing Agreements or the Third Amendment, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be required to take the actions specified in Schedule 9.10 as promptly as practicable, and in any event within the time periods set forth in such Schedule.
The provisions of Schedule 9.10 shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement as fully as if set forth in this Agreement in their entirety. 

Section 9.11. Most Favored Lender.  

(a) If, on the Third Amendment Effective Date or at any time thereafter, any Material Credit Facility shall include any
covenant or event of default (whether set forth as a covenant, undertaking, event of default, restriction or other such provision (but which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes applicable interest rates, margins, premiums


  
 6 









			
	NRP (Operating) LLC		Third Amendment

  

 
and fees)) not set forth in this Agreement or that would be more beneficial to the holders of the Notes than any analogous provision contained in this Agreement (any such covenant or event of
default, an “Additional Provision”), then, with respect to any such Additional Provision arising at any time after the Third Amendment Effective Date, the Company shall provide a Most Favored Lender Notice to the holders of the
Notes. Any Additional Provision (and any related definitions and cross references), whether in effect before or after the Third Amendment Effective Date, shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis
mutandis, as if set forth fully in this Agreement, without any further action required on the part of any Person, effective as of the date when such Additional Provision became effective under such Material Credit Facility (or, in the case of
any Additional Provision existing on the Third Amendment Effective Date, effective as of the Third Amendment Effective Date) (each such Additional Provision, as so incorporated, an “Incorporated Provision”). Upon the request of the
Required Holders, the Company shall enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement reasonably requested by the Required Holders evidencing any of the foregoing so long as nothing in such amendment contradicts the provisions of
this Section 9.11 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 9.11(b) below). As used herein, “Most Favored Lender Notice” means, in respect of any Additional Provision arising at any time after the Third Amendment
Effective Date, a written notice to each of the holders of the Notes delivered via the Platform as contemplated by Section 7.4 so long as the Platform is maintained by the Collateral Agent and, thereafter, in accordance with Section 18, in
each case promptly and in any event within 30 days after the inclusion of such Additional Provision in any Material Credit Facility (including by way of amendment or other modification of any existing provision thereof), by a Senior Financial
Officer of the Company referring to the provisions of this Section 9.11 and setting forth a description of such Additional Provision (including any defined terms used therein) and related explanatory calculations, as applicable. 

(b) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Additional Provision is amended, waived or
otherwise modified in each relevant Material Credit Facility with the effect that such Additional Provision is made less restrictive, such Additional Provision is removed from each relevant Material Credit Facility or each Material Credit Facility
containing such Additional Provision shall be terminated, such Additional Provision incorporated into this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.11: (x) shall automatically be deemed amended, waived, modified or removed simultaneously with
any amendment, waiver, modification or removal of such Additional Provision under each relevant Material Credit Facility or (y) shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Agreement at such time as each relevant Material Credit Facility
shall be terminated and no amounts shall be outstanding thereunder, as applicable, in each case without any further action by the Company; provided, that 

(i) other than as provided in Section 17, this Agreement shall not be amended to delete any covenant, undertaking, event
of default, restriction or other provision included in this Agreement (other than by operation of Section 9.11(a)) or to make any such provision less restrictive on the Company and its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company
and the requisite 

  
 7 









			
	NRP (Operating) LLC		Third Amendment

  

 
holders of Notes enter into any amendment to this Agreement evidencing the incorporation of an Additional Provision into this Agreement in replacement of any provision set forth in this Agreement
(an “Original Provision”), in the event that such Additional Provision is subsequently, by operation of clauses (x) or (y) of this Section 9.11(b), deemed to be deleted from this Agreement or deemed amended such that
it is less restrictive on the Company and its Subsidiaries than the Original Provision, the Original Provision shall be deemed automatically to be restored in this Agreement; and 

(ii) if any lender or agent under any Material Credit Facility is paid any remuneration as consideration for any amendment,
waiver or other modification of or the removal of an Additional Provision under such Material Credit Facility, then such remuneration shall be concurrently paid, on equivalent terms, ratably to each holder of the Notes then outstanding.” 

Section 1.8 Section 10.3(a) of the Note Agreements is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 

“(a) Liens created by or pursuant to the Collateral Documents which secure the Secured Obligations with respect to the
Bank Agreement, the Term Bank Agreement, this Agreement, the Other Agreements and the Notes, in each case on a pari passu basis in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.”

on any property of the Company or any Subsidiary which may otherwise be permitted by Section 10.3, to secure any amounts owed or outstanding under any Material Credit Facility, unless the Notes, this Agreement and the Other Agreements are also
concurrently equally and ratably secured pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the Required Holders.” 
 Section 1.10
Section 10 of the Note Agreements is hereby amended by adding the following as a new Section 10.5A immediately following Section 10.5: 

“Section 10.5A. Leverage Ratio. The Company will not permit, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, the ratio of Consolidated Debt

 To the extent that the Net Proceeds Amount consisting of cash for any Transfer to a Person other than the Company or
Subsidiary is applied to a Debt Prepayment Application or applied or committed to be applied to a Property Reinvestment Application within one year after such Transfer (and if so committed, is in fact applied within twelve (12) months of such
commitment), then such Transfer (or, if less than all such Net Proceeds Amount is applied as contemplated hereinabove, the pro rata percentage thereof which corresponds to the Net Proceeds Amount so applied), only for the purpose of determining
compliance with subparagraph (d) above as of any date, shall be deemed not to be an Asset Disposition. Further, for purposes of this Section 10.7A, a Transfer of property consisting of timber shall be deemed not to be an Asset Disposition
so long as the aggregate Disposition Value of such property consisting of timber subject to a Transfer from and after March 25, 2009 does not exceed $30,000,000.”
