and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance
of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Operative Document. The failure or waiver of performance under any Operative
Document by any Purchaser does not excuse performance by any other Purchaser or by the Partnership with respect to the other Purchasers.
It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in the Operative Documents is between the Partnership and
a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Partnership and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
Nothing contained herein or in any other Operative Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed
to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create
a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the

Article IV


 


REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS


 


Each Purchaser, severally
and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Partnership that:


 


Section 4.1     Existence.
Such Purchaser is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization,
with all requisite power and authority to own, lease, use and operate its properties and to conduct its business as currently
conducted, except where the failure to have such power or authority would not prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.


 


Section 4.2     Authorization,
Enforceability. Such Purchaser has all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated thereby, and the execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Purchaser; and this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms,
subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.


 


Section 4.3     No
Breach. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by such Purchaser
and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) conflict with or
result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement to
which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Purchaser
is subject, (b) conflict with or result in any violation of the provisions of the Organizational Documents of such Purchaser,
or (c) violate any statute, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction
over such Purchaser or the property or assets of such Purchaser, except in the cases of clauses (a) and (c), for such conflicts,
breaches, violations or defaults as would not prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the Registration Rights Agreement.


 


Section 4.4     Certain
Fees. No fees or commissions are or will be payable by such Purchaser to brokers, finders, or investment bankers with respect
to the purchase of any of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Such Purchaser
agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership from and against any and all claims, demands, or liabilities for
broker’s, finder’s, placement, or other similar fees or commissions incurred by such Purchaser in connection with
the purchase of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


Section 4.5     No
Side Agreements. There are no other agreements by, among or between such Purchaser and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand,
and the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than
the Operative Documents nor promises or inducements for future transactions between or among any of such parties.


 






    20


     


    

 


Section 4.6     Investment.
The Purchased Units are being acquired for such Purchaser’s own account, the account of its Affiliates, or the accounts
of clients for whom such Purchaser exercises discretionary investment authority (all of whom such Purchaser hereby represents
and warrants are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by
the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act), not as a nominee or agent, and with no present intention of distributing the Purchased
Units or any part thereof, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling or granting any participation in or otherwise
distributing the same in any transaction in violation of the securities laws of the United States or any state, without prejudice,
however, to such Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Purchased Units under
a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such registration
available thereunder (including, without limitation, if available, Rule 144 promulgated thereunder). If such Purchaser should
in the future decide to dispose of any of the Purchased Units, the Purchaser understands and agrees (a) that it may do so
only in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities law, as then in effect, including a sale contemplated
by any registration statement pursuant to which such securities are being offered, or pursuant to an exemption from the Securities
Act, and (b) that stop-transfer instructions to that effect will be in effect with respect to such securities.


 


Section 4.7     Nature
of Purchaser. Such Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Partnership that, (a) it
is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act, (b) it is an “Institutional Account” as defined in the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority Rule 4512(c) or a “Qualified Purchaser” as defined in the Investment Company Act and (c) by
reason of its business and financial experience it has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in making similar investments
and in business and financial matters generally so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Purchased Units, is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, would be able to afford
a complete loss of such investment.


 


Section 4.8     Restricted
Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Units are characterized as “restricted securities” under
the federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Partnership in a transaction not involving a public offering
and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may not be resold absent registration under the Securities
Act or an exemption therefrom. In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144
of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act.


 


Section 4.9     Legend.
Such Purchaser understands that the book entry evidencing the Purchased Units will bear the legend required by the Partnership
Agreement as well as a legend substantively consistent with the following legend: “These securities have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These securities may not be sold or offered
for sale except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration
thereunder, in each case in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions, and in the case
of a transaction exempt from registration, such securities may only be transferred if the transfer agent for such securities has
received documentation satisfactory to it that such transaction does not require registration under the Securities Act.”


 






    21


     


    

 


Section 4.10     Partnership
Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Partnership has provided or made available to such Purchaser
(through EDGAR, the Partnership’s website or otherwise) all SEC Reports, as well as all press releases or investor presentations
issued by the Partnership through the date of this Agreement that are included in a filing by the Partnership on Form 8-K
or clearly posted on the Partnership’s website.


 


Section 4.11     Placement
Agent Reliance. Such Purchaser agrees that each of the Placement Agents may rely upon the representations and warranties made
by such Purchaser to the Partnership in this Agreement. In addition, such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) each
of the Placement Agents is acting solely as a placement agent in connection with the private placement by the Partnership of the
Common Units contemplated hereunder and is not acting as an underwriter or in any other capacity and is not and shall not be construed
as a fiduciary for any Purchaser, the Partnership or any other Person in connection with the transactions set forth hereunder,
(ii) the Placement Agents have not made and will not make any representations, declarations or warranties, whether express
or implied, of any kind or character and has not provided any advice or recommendation to such Purchaser regarding the Partnership
or its offering of the Common Units; (iii) such Purchaser, in making its investment decision with respect to whether to invest
in the Common Units offered by the Partnership hereunder has relied on its own analysis and decision, and has not relied on any
of the Placement Agents or their respective representatives for any purpose and has been furnished with all materials that it
considers relevant to an investment decision in the Common Units and has had a full opportunity to ask questions of and receive
answers from the Partnership or any person or persons acting on behalf of the Partnership concerning the terms and conditions
of an investment in the Common Units; and (iv) none of the Placement Agents has offered to sell, or solicited an offer to
buy, any of the Common Units, which such Purchaser proposes to acquire from the Partnership. Such Purchaser further acknowledges
and agrees that (A) except for the representations, warranties and agreements of the Partnership expressly set forth in the
Purchase Agreement, such Purchaser is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence
(including professional advice such Purchaser deems appropriate) with respect to the Purchased Units, the transactions contemplated
hereunder and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of the Partnership,
including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters, (B) no Placement Agent
shall have responsibility with respect to (i) any representations, warranties or agreements made by any Person under or in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder or any of the documents furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith,
or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any Person) or any thereof, or (ii) the business,
affairs, financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of, or any other matter concerning the Partnership or the transactions
contemplated hereunder, and (C) no Placement Agent shall have any liability or obligation (including without limitation,
for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or
disbursements incurred by such Purchaser, the Partnership or any other Person), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to such
Purchaser, or to any Person claiming through such Purchaser, in respect of the transactions contemplated hereunder.


 






    22


     


    

 


Section 4.12     Short
Selling. Such Purchaser represents that it has not entered into any Short Sales of the Common Units owned by it since the
time it first began discussions with the Partnership or the Placement Agents about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(it being understood that the entering into of a total return swap should not be considered a Short Sale of Common Units); provided,
however, subject to such Purchaser’s compliance with its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws and its internal
policies, the above shall not apply, in the case of a Purchaser that is a large multi-unit investment or commercial banking organization,
to activities in the normal course of trading units of such Purchaser; provided, further, that subject to such Purchaser’s
compliance with its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws and its internal policies: (a) such Purchaser, for
purposes hereof, shall not be deemed to include any employees, subsidiaries or Affiliates that are effectively Walled-Off by appropriate
 “Chinese Wall” information barriers approved by such Purchaser’s legal or compliance department (and thus have
not been privy to any information concerning this transaction) (a “Walled-Off Person”) and (b) the foregoing
representations in this paragraph shall not apply to any transaction by or on behalf of such Purchaser that was effected by a
Walled-Off Person in the ordinary course of trading without the advice or participation of such Purchaser or receipt of confidential
or other information regarding this transaction provided by such Purchaser to such entity.


 


Article V


 


COVENANTS


 


Section 5.1     Taking
of Necessary Action. Each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to take or cause to
be taken all action and promptly to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law and
regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing,
the Partnership and each Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings and obtain all Consents of
Governmental Authorities that may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the other parties, as the case may be, advisable
for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. The Partnership shall promptly and accurately
respond, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to respond, to reasonable requests for
information (which is otherwise not publicly available) made by a Purchaser or its auditors relating to the actual holdings of
such Purchaser or its accounts; provided, that the Partnership shall not be obligated to provide any such information that
could reasonably result in a violation of applicable Law or conflict with the Partnership’s insider trading policy or a
confidentiality obligation of the Partnership. The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer
agent to reasonably cooperate with each Purchaser to ensure that the Purchased Units are validly and effectively issued to such
Purchaser and that such Purchaser’s ownership of the Purchased Units following the Closing is accurately reflected on the
appropriate books and records of the Partnership’s transfer agent.


 


Section 5.2     Other
Actions. The Partnership shall file prior to the Closing a supplemental listing application with the NYSE to list the Purchased
Units.

On or before 8:30 a.m., New York local time, on the Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Partnership shall
issue a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing the entry into this Agreement and describing the terms of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other material, nonpublic information that the Partnership may have provided
any Purchaser at any time prior to the issuance of the Press Release. On or before the fourth Business Day following the date
hereof, the Partnership shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission describing the terms of the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents, and including as an exhibit to such Current Report on Form 8-K the Operative
Documents, in the form required by the Exchange Act.


 


 


Section 5.4     Use
of Proceeds. The Partnership shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Units (after the payment of all related
fees and expenses, including commissions and reimbursement of expenses to the Placement Agents) to fund a portion of the cash
consideration for each of the GBM Acquisition and the Greenwood Contribution, to fund payments in connection with the Acquisitions,
and for general partnership purposes.


 


Article VI


 


INDEMNIFICATION


 


Section 6.1     Indemnification
by the Partnership. The Partnership agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and its Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser
Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations,
litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse
each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating,
defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a
result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Partnership
contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations or warranties is made
prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representations or warranties; and provided further, that no Purchaser
Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value of the Purchased Units, which
is specifically included in damages covered by Purchaser Related Parties’ indemnification above.


 


Section 6.2     Indemnification
by Purchasers. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify the Partnership, the General Partner and their
respective Representatives (collectively, “Partnership Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against,
any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action,
and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages,
or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter
that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related
to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of such Purchaser contained herein, provided that
such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations and warranties is made prior to the expiration of such
representations and warranties; and provided further, that no Partnership Related Party shall be entitled to recover special,
consequential (including lost profits or diminution in value) or punitive damages.


 






    24


     


    

 


Section 6.3     Indemnification
Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Article VI of notice of any claim or the
commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under this Article VI, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action;
provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may
have under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 of this Article VI except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced
(through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than
under this Article VI. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify
the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes,
jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense
of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Article VI
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel
to represent jointly the indemnified party and those other indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, employees
and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under
this Article VI if (i) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the
indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the
indemnified party and its directors, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded that there may
be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the
named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified parties or their respective
directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, and representation
of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them,
and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying
party shall (x) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties
are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional
release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include
a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (y) be
liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action,
the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested
an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel to the extent required by Sections
6.1 and 6.2 hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party
of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with
such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party's entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement.

Section 7.1     Interpretation
and Survival of Provisions. Article, Section, Schedule, and Exhibit references are to this Agreement, unless otherwise
specified. All references to instruments, documents, contracts, and agreements are references to such instruments, documents,
contracts, and agreements as the same may be amended, supplemented, and otherwise modified from time to time, unless otherwise
specified. The word “including” shall mean “including but not limited to.” Whenever any party has an obligation
under the Operative Documents, the expense of complying with that obligation shall be an expense of such party unless otherwise
specified. Whenever any determination, consent, or approval is to be made or given by any Purchaser, such action shall be in such
Purchaser’s sole discretion unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. If any provision in the Operative Documents is
held to be illegal, invalid, not binding, or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the Operative Documents
shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part
of the Operative Documents, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The Operative Documents have been
reviewed and negotiated by sophisticated parties with access to legal counsel and shall not be construed against the drafter.

for two years, and the other representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months
following the Closing Date regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Partnership or any Purchaser. The covenants
made in this Agreement shall survive the Closing of the transactions described herein and remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of acceptance of any of the Purchased Units and payment therefor and repayment, conversion, exercise or repurchase
thereof. All indemnification obligations of the Partnership and the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement and the provisions of
Article VI shall remain operative and in full force and effect unless such obligations are expressly terminated in
a writing by the parties, regardless of any purported general termination of this Agreement.


 






    26


     


    

 


Section 7.3     No
Waiver; Modifications in Writing; Delay. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power, or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. The remedies provided for herein are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a party at law or in equity or otherwise.


 


(a)            Specific
Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification, or termination of any provision
of this Agreement or any other Operative Document shall be effective unless signed by each of the parties hereto or thereto affected
by such amendment, waiver, consent, modification, or termination. Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision
of this Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by the Partnership from the
terms of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which

case shall entitle the Partnership to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(a)            This
Agreement shall be binding upon the Partnership, the Purchasers, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except

other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.


 


(b)            Assignment

Purchaser (i) to any Affiliate of such Purchaser or (ii) in connection with a total return swap or similar transaction
with respect to the Purchased Units purchased by such Purchaser, in each case, without the consent of the Partnership. No portion
of the rights and obligations of any Purchaser under this Agreement may be transferred by such Purchaser to a non-Affiliate without
the written consent of the Partnership (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Partnership).


 


Section 7.5     Confidentiality.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that any Purchaser has executed or is otherwise bound by a confidentiality
agreement in favor of the Partnership, such Purchaser shall continue to be bound by such confidentiality agreement in accordance

Section 7.7     Removal
of Legend. The Partnership, at its sole cost, shall remove the legend described in Section 4.9 (or instruct its
transfer agent to so remove such legend) from the certificates evidencing Purchased Units issued and sold to each Purchaser pursuant
to this Agreement if (i) such Purchased Units are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) such Purchased
Units are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Partnership), or (iii) such
Purchased Units are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Partnership to be in compliance with
the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such securities
and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. Each Purchaser agrees to provide the Partnership, its counsel and/or the transfer
agent with evidence reasonably requested by it in order to cause the removal of the legend described in Section 4.9,
including, as may be appropriate, any information the Partnership deems necessary to determine that the legend is no longer required
under the Securities Act or applicable state laws, including a certification that the holder is not an Affiliate of the Partnership
(and a covenant to inform the Partnership if it should thereafter become an Affiliate and to consent to exchange its certificates
for certificates bearing an appropriate restrictive legend) and regarding the length of time the Purchased Units have been held.
Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, Partnership counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of any legal opinion
required by the Partnership’s transfer agent or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Partnership. If a legend
is no longer required pursuant to the foregoing, the Partnership will use commercially reasonable efforts to, no later than three (3) Business
Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Partnership or the transfer agent (with notice to the Partnership) of a legended
certificate or instrument representing Purchased Units (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise
in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer) and any representation letter or certification as may be requested
by the Partnership, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate or instrument (as the case may be) representing
such Purchased Units that is free from all restrictive legends.

Section 7.8     Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the other agreements and documents referred to herein are intended
by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement

Article IX

REGISTRATION RIGHTS


 


Section 9.1     Registration.


 


(a)         Effectiveness
Deadline. Following the date hereof, but no later than 60 days following the Closing Date, the Partnership shall prepare and
file a registration statement under the Securities Act to permit the public resale of Registrable Securities then outstanding
from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act with respect
to all of the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement filed pursuant
to this Section 2.01(a) shall be on such appropriate registration form or forms of the Commission as shall be
selected by the Partnership so long as it permits the continuous offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415
(or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act at then-prevailing market prices. The Partnership shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective on or as soon as practicable after
the filing thereof. Any Registration Statement shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally
available to, and requested by, the Holders of any and all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement. The
Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) to
be effective, supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for the resale of all Registrable
Securities by the Holders until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable
Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Registration Statement when effective (including the documents
incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained in such
Registration Statement or documents incorporated therein by reference, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement
is made). As soon as practicable following the date that the Registration Statement becomes effective, but in any event within
two (2) Business Days of such date, the Partnership shall provide the Holders with written notice of the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement.


 






    3


     


    

 


(b)         Failure
to Go Effective. If the Registration Statement required by Section 2.01(a) is not declared effective within
90 days after the Closing Date, then each Holder shall be entitled to a payment (with respect to the Purchased Units of each such
Holder), as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, of 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period, that shall
accrue daily, for the first 30 days following the 90th day, increasing by an additional 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier
per 30-day period, that shall accrue daily, for each subsequent 30 days, up to a maximum of 1.00% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier
per 30-day period (the “Liquidated Damages”). The Liquidated Damages payable pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after the end of each such 30-day period. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the aggregate of all Liquidated Damages payable by the Partnership hereunder
exceed 5.00% of the Aggregate Purchase Price. Any Liquidated Damages shall be paid to each Holder in immediately available funds;
provided, however, if the Partnership certifies that it is unable to pay Liquidated Damages in cash because such
payment would result in a breach of or constitute a default under a credit facility or other debt instrument, then the Partnership
shall pay such Liquidated Damages using as much cash as is permitted without causing a breach of or default under such credit
facility or other debt instrument and may pay the balance of any such Liquidated Damages in kind in the form of the issuance of
additional Common Units. Upon any issuance of Common Units as Liquidated Damages, the Partnership shall promptly (i) prepare
and file an amendment to the Registration Statement prior to its effectiveness adding such Common Units to such Registration Statement
as additional Registrable Securities and (ii) prepare and file a supplemental listing application with the NYSE (or such
other national securities exchange on which the Common Units are then-listed and traded) to list such additional Common Units.
The determination of the number of Common Units to be issued as Liquidated Damages shall be equal to the quotient of (i) the
dollar amount of the balance of such Liquidated Damages due to each such Holder and (ii) the volume-weighted average closing
price of the Common Units on the NYSE, or any other national securities exchange on which the Common Units are then-traded, for
the ten (10) trading days ending on the first trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Liquidated Damages
payment is due, less a discount to such average closing price of 2.00%. The payment of Liquidated Damages to a Holder shall cease
at the earlier of (i) the Registration Statement becoming effective or (ii) when such Holder no longer holds Registrable
Securities, assuming that each Holder is not an Affiliate of the Partnership, and any payment of Liquidated Damages shall be prorated
for any period of less than 30 days in which the payment of Liquidated Damages ceases. If the Partnership is unable to cause a
Registration Statement to go effective within 90 days after the Closing Date as a result of an acquisition, merger, reorganization,
disposition or other similar transaction, then the Partnership may request a waiver of the Liquidated Damages, and each Holder
may individually grant or withhold its consent to such request in its discretion.


 






    4


     


    

 


(c)         Termination
of Holder’s Rights. A Holder’s rights (and any transferee’s rights pursuant to Section 2.11
of this Agreement) under this Section 2.01 shall terminate upon the termination of the Effectiveness Period.


 


Section 9.2     Piggyback
Rights.


 


(a)         Participation.
If the Partnership proposes to file (i) a shelf registration statement other than the Registration Statement contemplated
by Section 2.01(a), (ii) a prospectus supplement to an effective shelf registration statement, other than the
Registration Statement contemplated by Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement and Holders may be included without
the filing of a post-effective amendment thereto, or (iii) a registration statement, other than a shelf registration statement,
in each case, for the sale of Common Units in an Underwritten Offering for its own account and/or another Person, then as soon
as practicable following the engagement of counsel by the Partnership to prepare the documents to be used in connection with an
Underwritten Offering, the Partnership shall give notice (including, but not limited to, notification by electronic mail) of such
proposed Underwritten Offering to each Holder (together with its Affiliates) holding at least $25 million of the then-outstanding
Registrable Securities (based on the Common Unit Price) and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to include in
such Underwritten Offering such number of Registrable Securities (the “Included Registrable Securities”) as
each such Holder may request in writing; provided, however, that if the Partnership has been advised by the Managing
Underwriter that the inclusion of Registrable Securities for sale for the benefit of the Holders will have an adverse effect on
the price, timing or distribution of the Common Units in the Underwritten Offering, then (A) if no Registrable Securities
can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the Managing Underwriter, the Partnership shall not be required
to offer such opportunity to the Holders or (B) if any Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering
in the opinion of the Managing Underwriter, then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders
shall be determined based on the provisions of Section 2.02(b). Any notice required to be provided in this Section 2.02(a) to
Holders shall be provided on a Business Day pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof and receipt of such notice shall be confirmed
and kept confidential by the Holder until such proposed Underwritten Offering is (i) publicly announced or (ii) such
Holder receives notice that such proposed Underwritten Offering has been abandoned, which such notice shall be provided promptly
by the Partnership to each Holder. Each such Holder shall then have two (2) Business Days (or one (1) Business Day in
connection with any overnight or bought Underwritten Offering) after notice has been delivered to request in writing the inclusion
of Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering. If no written request for inclusion from a Holder is received within the
specified time, each such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Underwritten Offering. If, at any time after
giving written notice of its intention to undertake an Underwritten Offering and prior to the closing of such Underwritten Offering,
the Partnership shall determine for any reason not to undertake or to delay such Underwritten Offering, the Partnership may, at
its election, give written notice of such determination to the Selling Holders and, (x) in the case of a determination not
to undertake such Underwritten Offering, shall be relieved of its obligation to sell any Included Registrable Securities in connection
with such terminated Underwritten Offering, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay such Underwritten Offering, shall
be permitted to delay offering any Included Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in the Underwritten Offering.
Any Selling Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Selling Holder’s request for inclusion of such Selling Holder’s
Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering by giving written notice to the Partnership of such withdrawal at or prior
to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. Any Holder may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”)
to the Partnership requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the Partnership of any proposed Underwritten Offering;
provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an
Opt-Out Notice from a Holder (unless subsequently revoked), the Partnership shall not be required to deliver any notice to such
Holder pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) and such Holder shall no longer be entitled to participate in Underwritten
Offerings by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 2.02(a). The Holders indicated on Schedule A hereto as having
opted out shall each be deemed to have delivered an Opt-Out Notice as of the date hereof.


 






    5


     


    

 


(b)         Priority.
If the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering advises the Partnership that the total amount
of Registrable Securities that the Selling Holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number
that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common
Units offered or the market for the Common Units, then the Common Units to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall include
the number of Registrable Securities that such Managing Underwriter or Underwriters advises the Partnership can be sold without
having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) first, to the Partnership, or, if the Underwritten Offering
is initiated (such initiation, a “Non-Party Holder Initiation”) by one or more Holders (as such term is defined
in that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 4, 2015, by and among the Partnership, Enviva MLP Holdco, LLC and
Enviva Cottondale Acquisition I, LLC), to such Persons and (ii) second, pro rata among the Selling Holders who have
requested participation in such Underwritten Offering and any other holder (and the Partnership in case of a Non-Party Holder
Initiation) of securities of the Partnership having rights of registration that are neither expressly senior nor subordinated
to the Registrable Securities (the “Parity Securities”). The pro rata allocations for each Selling Holder
who has requested participation in such Underwritten Offering shall be the product of (a) the aggregate number of Registrable
Securities proposed to be sold in such Underwritten Offering multiplied by (b) the fraction derived by dividing (x) the
number of Registrable Securities owned on the Closing Date by such Selling Holder by (y) the aggregate number of Registrable
Securities owned on the Closing Date by all Selling Holders plus the aggregate number of Parity Securities owned on the Closing
Date by all holders of Parity Securities (or to be issued by the Partnership in such Underwriter Offering, if any, in case of
a Non-Party Holder Initiation) that are participating in the Underwritten Offering.


 


(c)         Termination
of Piggyback Registration Rights. Each Holder’s rights under this Section 2.02 shall terminate upon such
Holder (together with its Affiliates) ceasing to hold at least $25 million of Registrable Securities (based on the Common Unit
Price). Each Holder shall notify the Partnership in writing when such Holder holds less than $25 million of Registrable Securities
(based on the Common Unit Price).


 






    6


     


    

 


Section 9.3     Delay
Rights.


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the Partnership may, upon written notice to any Selling Holder whose Registrable Securities
are included in the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, suspend such Selling
Holder’s use of any prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated
by this Agreement (in which event the Selling Holder shall discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement or such other registration statement but may settle any previously made sales of Registrable Securities) if (i) the
Partnership is pursuing an acquisition, merger, reorganization, disposition, financing or other similar transaction and the Partnership
determines in good faith that the Partnership’s ability to pursue or consummate such a transaction would be materially adversely
affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in the Registration Statement or such other registration statement or
(ii) the Partnership has experienced some other material non-public event, the disclosure of which at such time, in the good
faith judgment of the Partnership, would materially adversely affect the Partnership; provided, however, in no event
shall the Selling Holders be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or such other
registration statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of 60 days in any 180-day period or 105 days in any 365-day period,
in each case, exclusive of days covered by any lock-up agreement executed by a Selling Holder in connection with any Underwritten
Offering. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Partnership shall provide
prompt notice to the Selling Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement or other registration
statement contemplated by this Agreement, and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall
take such other reasonable actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement.


 


Section 9.4     Underwritten
Offerings.


 


(a)         General
Procedures. In connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Agreement, the Partnership shall be entitled to select
the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters. In connection with an Underwritten Offering contemplated by this Agreement in which
a Selling Holder participates, each Selling Holder and the Partnership shall be obligated to enter into an underwriting agreement
that contains such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations as are customary in underwriting agreements
for firm commitment offerings of securities. No Selling Holder may participate in such Underwritten Offering unless such Selling
Holder agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in such underwriting agreement and completes and executes
all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting
agreement. Each Selling Holder may, at its option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other
agreements on the part of, the Partnership to and for the benefit of such underwriters also be made to and for such Selling Holder’s
benefit and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement
also be conditions precedent to its obligations. No Selling Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties
to or agreements with the Partnership or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such
Selling Holder, its authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell, and its ownership of, the securities being
registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by Law. If any Selling Holder
disapproves of the terms of an underwriting, such Selling Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by notice to the Partnership
and the Managing Underwriter; provided, however, that such withdrawal must be made up to and including the time
of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. No such withdrawal or abandonment shall affect the Partnership’s obligation to
pay Registration Expenses. The Partnership’s management may but shall not be required to participate in a roadshow or similar
marketing effort in connection with any Underwritten Offering.


 






    7


     


    

 


(b)         No
Demand Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Holder shall be entitled to any “demand”
rights or similar rights that would require the Partnership to effect an Underwritten Offering solely on behalf of the Holders.


 


Section 9.5     Sale
Procedures. In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Partnership will, as expeditiously as
possible:


 


(a)         prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus and any prospectus
supplement used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness
Period and as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement;


 


(b)         if
a prospectus or prospectus supplement will be used in connection with the marketing of an Underwritten Offering from the Registration
Statement and the Managing Underwriter at any time shall notify the Partnership in writing that, in the sole judgment of such
Managing Underwriter, inclusion of detailed information to be used in such prospectus or prospectus supplement is of material
importance to the success of the Underwritten Offering of such Registrable Securities, the Partnership shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to include such information in such prospectus or prospectus supplement;


 


(c)         furnish
to each Selling Holder (i) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing the Registration Statement or any other
registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably
complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document incorporated by reference therein
to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the Commission), and provide each such Selling Holder the opportunity
to object to any information pertaining to such Selling Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and make
the corrections reasonably requested by such Selling Holder with respect to such information prior to filing the Registration
Statement or such other registration statement or supplement or amendment thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of the
Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement included therein
and any supplements and amendments thereto as such Selling Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale
or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or other registration statement;


 






    8


     


    

 


(d)         if
applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions
as the Selling Holders or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the Managing Underwriter, shall reasonably request; provided,
however, that the Partnership will not be required to qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction where
it is not then required to so qualify or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject;


 


(e)         promptly
notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered by any of them under the
Securities Act, of (i) the filing of the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this
Agreement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any such other registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto,
when the same has become effective; and (ii) the receipt of any written comments from the Commission with respect to any
filing referred to in clause (e) and any written request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or any such other registration statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto;


 


(f)          promptly
notify each Selling Holder of (i) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus supplement
contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which such statement is made); (ii) the issuance or express threat of issuance by the Commission
of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated
by this Agreement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (iii) the receipt by the Partnership of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities
or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the provision of such notice, the Partnership agrees, subject to Section 2.03
of this Agreement, to as promptly as practicable amend or supplement the prospectus or prospectus supplement or take other
appropriate action so that the prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances then existing and to take such other commercially reasonable action as is necessary to remove a stop
order, suspension, threat thereof or proceedings related thereto;


 


(g)         upon
request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish to each Selling Holder copies of any and all transmittal
letters or other correspondence with the Commission or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having
jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such offering of Registrable Securities;


 






    9


     


    

 


(h)         in
the case of an Underwritten Offering, furnish upon request, (i) an opinion of counsel for the Partnership dated the date
of the closing under the underwriting agreement and (ii) a “comfort” letter, dated the pricing date of such Underwritten
Offering and a letter of like kind dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, in each case, signed by the
independent public accountants who have certified the Partnership’s financial statements included or incorporated by reference
into the applicable registration statement, and each of the opinion and the “comfort” letter shall be in customary
form and covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus and any prospectus
supplement included therein) as have been customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’
letters delivered to the underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership and such other matters as such
underwriters and Selling Holders may reasonably request;


 


(i)          otherwise
use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available
to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder;


 


(j)          make
available to the appropriate representatives of the Managing Underwriter and Selling Holders access to such information and Partnership
personnel as is reasonable and customary to enable such parties to establish a due diligence defense under the Securities Act;
provided, that the Partnership need not disclose any non-public information to any such representative unless and until
such representative has entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Partnership;


 


(k)         cause
all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized
quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Partnership are then listed;


 


(l)          use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental
agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Partnership to enable the Selling
Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;


 


(m)        provide
a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement not later than the effective
date of such registration statement;


 


(n)         enter
into customary agreements and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Selling Holders or the underwriters,
if any, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; and


 


(o)         if
requested by a Selling Holder, (i) incorporate in a prospectus or prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement such information as such Selling Holder
reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including information
with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other
terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering and (ii) make all required filings of such
prospectus or prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such
prospectus or prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.


 






    10


     


    

 


The Partnership shall
not name a Holder as an underwriter as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act in any registration statement without
such Holder’s consent. If the staff of the Commission requires the Partnership to name any Holder as an underwriter as defined
in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, or the Partnership deems it advisable, on the advice of counsel, to so name any
Holder, and such Holder does not consent thereto, then such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall not be included on the
Registration Statement (or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement), such Holder shall no longer be entitled
to receive Liquidated Damages under this Agreement with respect thereto, the Partnership shall have no further obligations hereunder
with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Holder and such Holder shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement with
respect to such Holder.


 


Each Selling Holder,
upon receipt of notice from the Partnership of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection (f) of this
Section 2.05, shall forthwith discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus
or prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus or
prospectus supplement contemplated by subsection (f) of this Section 2.05 or until it is advised in writing by
the Partnership that the use of the prospectus or prospectus supplement may be resumed and has received copies of any additional
or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus or prospectus supplement, and, if so directed by the Partnership,
such Selling Holder will, or will request the Managing Underwriter(s), if any, to deliver to the Partnership (at the Partnership’s
expense) all copies in their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession,
of the prospectus or prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.


 


Section 9.6     Cooperation
by Holders. The Partnership shall have no obligation to include in the Registration Statement, or in an Underwritten Offering
pursuant to Section 2.02(a), Registrable Securities of a Holder who has failed to timely furnish such information
that the Partnership determines, after consultation with its counsel, is reasonably required in order for the registration statement
or prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act.


 


Section 9.7     Restrictions
on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, if requested by the underwriters
of an Underwritten Offering, to enter into a customary letter agreement with such underwriters providing such Holder will not
effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities during the 60 calendar day period beginning on the date of a
prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the Commission with respect to the pricing of any Underwritten Offering, provided
that (i) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally
imposed by the underwriters on the Partnership or the officers, directors or any other Affiliate of the Partnership on whom a
restriction is imposed and (ii) the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.07 shall not apply to any Registrable
Securities that are included in such Underwritten Offering by such Holder. In addition, this Section 2.07 shall not
apply to any Holder that is not entitled to participate in such Underwritten Offering, whether because such Holder delivered an
Opt-Out Notice prior to receiving notice of the Underwritten Offering or because such Holder holds less than $25 million of Registrable
Securities (based on the Common Unit Price).


 






    11


     


    

 


Section 9.8     Expenses.


 


(a)         Expenses.
The Partnership will pay all reasonable Registration Expenses as determined in good faith, including, in the case of an Underwritten
Offering, whether or not any sale is made pursuant to such Underwritten Offering. Each Selling Holder shall pay its pro rata
share of all Selling Expenses in connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder. In addition, except as
otherwise provided in Section 2.09 hereof, the Partnership shall not be responsible for professional fees incurred
by Holders in connection with the exercise of such Holders’ rights hereunder.


 


(b)         Certain

Section 9.9     Indemnification.


 


(a)         By
the Partnership. In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement,
the Partnership will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder thereunder, its directors, officers, employees and agents
and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and its
directors, officers, employees or agents (collectively, the “Selling Holder Indemnified Persons”), against
any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively,
 “Losses”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (in the case of
any prospectus or prospectus supplement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made) contained in the
Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, preliminary
prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or final prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or prospectus supplement, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and will reimburse each such Selling Holder Indemnified
Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss
or actions or proceedings; provided, however, that the Partnership will not be liable in any such case if and to
the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Selling Holder Indemnified Person in writing specifically for
use in the Registration Statement or such other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus,
preliminary prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus, or final prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, or
any amendment or supplement thereof. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made
by or on behalf of such Selling Holder Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder.


 






    12


     


    

 


(b)         By
Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership,
the General Partner, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Partnership within
the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, employees and agents, to the same extent
as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling
Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement or any
other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, preliminary prospectus supplement, free
writing prospectus or final prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; provided,
however, that the liability of each Selling Holder shall not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds
(net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such
indemnification.


 


(c)         Notice.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing
thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party other than under this Section 2.09. In any action brought against any indemnified party, it shall
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to
the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified
party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense
thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 2.09 for any legal
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, (i) if the indemnifying party
has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants
in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have
concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the
interests of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume
such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate
counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnifying party shall settle any action brought against any indemnified party with
respect to which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the indemnified party,
unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete and unconditional release from all
liability of, the indemnified party.


 






    13


     


    

 


(d)         Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.09 is held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction
to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold them harmless in respect of any Losses, then each such indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party
as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one
hand and of such indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall such Selling Holder
be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the dollar amount of proceeds (net of Selling Expenses) received by
such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. The relative fault of the indemnifying
party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been
made by, or relates to, information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation
that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result
of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any Loss that is the subject of this paragraph.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


 


(e)         Other
Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.09 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification
or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise.


 


Section 9.10     Rule 144
Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit
the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Partnership agrees to:


 


(a)         use
its commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information regarding the Partnership available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act, at all times from
and after the date hereof;


 


(b)         use
its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of
the Partnership under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and


 






    14


     


    

 


(c)         so
long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish (i) to the extent accurate, forthwith upon request, a written statement
of the Partnership that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144(c) (or any similar provision then
in effect) under the Securities Act, and (ii) unless otherwise available via EDGAR, to such Holder forthwith upon request
a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Partnership, and such other reports and documents so filed as such
Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell
any such securities without registration.


 


Solely for purposes
of this Section 2.10, the term “Registrable Securities” shall be read without regard to the limitation
set forth in Section 1.02(e).


 


Section 9.11     Transfer
or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Partnership to register Registrable Securities granted to the
Purchasers by the Partnership under this Article II may be transferred or assigned by any Purchaser to one or more
transferees or assignees of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that (a) unless the transferee or assignee
is an Affiliate of, and after such transfer or assignment continues to be an Affiliate of, such Purchaser, the amount of Registrable
Securities transferred or assigned to such transferee or assignee shall represent at least $25 million of Registrable Securities
(based on the Common Unit Price), (b) the Partnership is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating
the name and address of each such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration
rights are being transferred or assigned, (c) each such transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its
portion of the obligations of such Purchaser under this Agreement and (d) the transferor or assignor is not relieved of any
obligations or liabilities hereunder arising out of events occurring prior to such transfer.


 


Section 9.12     Limitation
on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date hereof, the Partnership shall not, without the prior written consent
of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any current or future holder of any
securities of the Partnership that would allow such current or future holder to require the Partnership to include securities
in any registration statement filed by the Partnership on a basis other than pari passu with, or expressly subordinate
to the rights of, the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder.

or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against any former, current or
future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the
Purchasers or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder

Exhibit B – Form of
Opinion of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P.


 


Based on the foregoing,
and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:


 


		i.	The Partnership is a limited partnership
                                         organized under the Delaware LP Act with all limited partnership power and authority,
                                         as applicable, (i) to enter into the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights
                                         Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder, and (ii) to own its properties
                                         and to conduct its business as described in the SEC Reports. We confirm that the Partnership
                                         is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and
                                         is qualified to do business as a foreign limited partnership in the states set forth
                                         opposite its name on Exhibit A hereto.



 


		ii.	The General Partner is a limited
                                         liability company organized under the Delaware LLC Act with all limited liability company
                                         power and authority to own its properties, to conduct its business and to act as the
                                         general partner of the Partnership, as applicable, as described in the SEC Reports. We
                                         confirm that the General Partner is validly existing and in good standing under the laws
                                         of the State of Delaware and is qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability
                                         company in the states set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A hereto.



 


		iii.	The Units to be issued and sold
                                         by the Partnership pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the limited partner interests
                                         represented thereby have been duly authorized in accordance with the Partnership Agreement
                                         and, when issued and delivered by the Partnership against payment therefore in accordance
                                         with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid (to the
                                         extent required under the Partnership Agreement), nonassessable (except as such nonassessability
                                         may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware LP Act) and free
                                         of preemptive rights arising from the Partnership Agreement.



 


		iv.	The execution, delivery and performance
                                         of the Purchase Agreement by the Partnership have been duly authorized by all necessary
                                         limited partnership action; and the Purchase Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
                                         by the Partnership.



 


		v.	The execution, delivery and performance
                                         of the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary limited
                                         partnership action of the Partnership, and the Registration Rights Agreement has been
                                         duly executed and delivered by the Partnership and is the legally valid and binding agreement
                                         of the Partnership, enforceable against the Partnership in accordance with its terms,
                                         except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
                                         fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting
                                         creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of
                                         whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) public
                                         policy, applicable law relating to fiduciary duties and indemnification and implied covenants
                                         of good faith and fair dealing.

                                         and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents do not:



 


a.          violate

                                         registrations, declarations or filings that, individually or in the aggregate, the occurrence

                                         representations and warranties of each Purchaser and the Partnership contained in the
                                         Purchase Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Units pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
                                         are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Exhibit D – Form of
Lock-Up Agreement


 


To the Purchasers Listed on Schedule A
to Common Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchasers”)


 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


The undersigned understands
that Enviva Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) has entered into a Common Unit Purchase
Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with the purchasers party thereto providing
for the private placement of common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”).


 


It is anticipated
that in connection with the private placement, the Partnership shall, following completion of the private placement, file a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), with respect to the possible
resale, from time to time, of the Common Units and that such Registration Statement will be filed by the Partnership within the
time period specified by, and the Partnership will keep the Registration Statement effective until such time as may be provided
in, the definitive agreements entered into in connection with the private placement of the Common Units.


 


In recognition of
the benefit that such a private placement will confer upon the undersigned, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with the Purchasers that, during the period beginning
on the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and ending on the date that is [                ]
days1 from consummation of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Units (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the
 “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of each of the Purchasers, directly
or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or
contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Common Units or
any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Units, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the
undersigned (collectively, the “Lock-Up Units”), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any
of the Lock-up Units, or file or cause to be filed any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (other than pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement between the Partnership and the purchasers,
the form of which is attached to the Purchase Agreement), or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction
that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Units,
whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Units or other securities, in cash or otherwise.


 


Notwithstanding the
foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Units without the prior written
consent of the Purchasers, provided that (i) the Purchasers receive a signed lock-up agreement for the balance
of the Lock-Up Period from each donee, trustee, distributee or transferee, as the case may be, (ii) any such transfer
shall not involve a disposition for value, (iii) such transfers are not required to be reported with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 (“Section 16”) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and (iv) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily
effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers:


 





 



 


1
60 days for Sponsor and 30 days for all other parties.


 


Exhibit

Unit Purchase Agreement




 






     


     


    

 


(i)          as
a bona fide gift or gifts;


 


(ii)         to
any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this
lock-up agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote
than first cousin);


 


(iii)        as
a distribution to limited partners or unitholders of the undersigned;


 


(iv)        to
the undersigned’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned; and


 


(v)         any
exercise of options or vesting or exercise of any other equity-based award, in each case, outstanding on the date of this Lock-Up
Agreement, and in each case under the Partnership’s equity incentive plan or any other plan or agreement described in the
prospectus included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, and the withholding of Common Units by the Company
for the payment of taxes due upon such exercise or vesting, provided that any Common Units received upon such exercise or vesting
will also be subject to this Lock-Up Agreement.


 


[In addition, notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Partnership may, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, (i) issue the Common Units pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) grant or issue Common Units or any securities convertible or exercisable or exchangeable
for Common Units, phantom units, options or other awards pursuant to employee benefit plans, qualified option plans or other employee
compensation plans existing on the date hereof and the net settlement and net withholding to satisfy applicable tax withholding
obligations and the net exercise price of options, unit appreciation rights or similar awards.]2


 


Furthermore, the restrictions
in the third paragraph of this letter agreement shall not apply to (i) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under
the Exchange Act for the transfer of Common Units, provided that (a) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common
Units during the Lock-up Period and (b) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if
any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Partnership regarding the establishment of such
plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Units may be made under such
plan during the Lock-up Period, (ii) sales pursuant to any Rule 10b5-1 plan currently in effect on the
date hereof, (iii) existing pledges pursuant to loan or similar agreements in effect on the date hereof, as amended from
time to time, or any successor to any such agreement, or any transfers pursuant to any such agreement, or (iv) the deemed
disposition of Common Units under Section 16 upon the cash settlement of phantom units or unit appreciation rights outstanding
as of the date of this Agreement.


 


Furthermore, the undersigned
may sell Common Units of the Partnership purchased by the undersigned on the open market following the private placement if and
only if (i) such sales are not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 and (ii) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public
filing or report regarding such sales.
