 2.2 Amendments to Section 1.01 (Defined Terms). 

(a) The definition of “Acquisition Consideration” hereby is amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 

“Acquisition Consideration” means the purchase consideration for any Acquisition and all other payments by the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for, or as part of, or in connection with, any Acquisition, whether paid in cash or by the assumption of obligations or the exchange of Equity Interests or of properties or otherwise and whether
payable at or prior to the consummation of such Acquisition or deferred for payment at any future time, whether or not any such future payment is subject to the occurrence of any contingency, and includes any and all payments representing the
purchase price and any assumptions of Indebtedness (including any Indebtedness assumed or acquired pursuant to Section 6.01(A)(g)), “earn-out” and other agreements to make any payment the amount of which is, or the terms of payment of
which are, in any respect subject to or contingent upon the revenues, income, cash flow or profits (or the like) of any Person or business; provided that any such future payment that is subject to a contingency shall be considered Acquisition
Consideration only to the extent of the reserve, if any, required under GAAP at the time of such sale to be established in respect thereof by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary. 

(b) The definition of “Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA” hereby is amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 

“Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA” means, for any period, Consolidated EBITDA determined on a Pro Forma Basis;
provided that (a) cash distributions received by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries from any Unrestricted Joint Venture shall not account for more than 25% of Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA (as such Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA is
calculated from time to time without giving effect to cash distributions from Unrestricted Joint Ventures), and any excess shall be deemed to not be Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and (b) for any Material Project with a Commencement Date
occurring on or prior to the date of determination, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA may include, at the Borrower’s option, the Material Project EBITDA Adjustments for such Material Project for such period determined as specified below. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of a “Cash Option Only Default” under and as defined in the NEJD Financing Lease Agreement, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA shall be automatically reduced by an amount equal to the contributions to
Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA attributable to NEJD SPE 2 for the applicable Test Period or Calculation Period. 

  
 2 







 As used herein, “Material Project EBITDA Adjustments” means, with respect to the
construction or expansion of any capital project of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or an Exempted Joint Venture, the aggregate capital cost of which (inclusive of capital costs expended prior to the acquisition, construction or
expansion thereof) is reasonably expected by the Borrower to exceed, or exceeds, with respect to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or with respect to an Exempted Joint Venture, $10,000,000 (a “Material Project”):

 (a) for each Test Period ending prior to the date on which a Material Project has achieved commercial operation (the
“Commercial Operation Date”) (but including the Test Period ending with the fiscal quarter in which such Commercial Operation Date occurs), a percentage (based on the then-current completion percentage of such Material Project as of
the date of determination) of an amount to be reasonably approved by a majority of the Arrangers (the “Projected Consolidated EBITDA”) as the projected Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such Material Project for the first full
12-month period following the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date of such Material Project (such amount to be determined based upon projected revenues from customer contracts, projected revenues from prospective customers that are reasonably
determined by a majority of the Arrangers, in their reasonable discretion, to otherwise be reasonably likely on the basis of sound financial planning practice, the creditworthiness and applicable projected production of the prospective customers,
capital and other costs, operating and administrative expenses, the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date, commodity price assumptions and other factors reasonably deemed appropriate by a majority of the Arrangers), which may, at the Borrower’s
option, be added to actual Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period next preceding the fiscal quarter in which construction or expansion of such Material Project commences (the “Commencement Date”) and for each Test Period
thereafter until the Commercial Operation Date of such Material Project (including the Test Period ending with the fiscal quarter in which such Commercial Operation Date occurs), but net of any actual Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such
Material Project for such Test Period; provided that if the actual Commercial Operation Date does not occur by the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date, then the foregoing amount shall be reduced, for Test Periods ending after the Scheduled
Commercial Operation Date to (but excluding) the Test Period ending with the fiscal quarter in which such Commercial Operation Date occurs, by the following percentage amounts depending on the period of delay (based on the period of actual delay or
then-estimated delay (estimated on the date of determination), whichever is longer): (i) 90 days or less, 0%, (ii) longer than 90 days, but not more than 180 days, 25%, (iii) longer than 180 days but not more than 270 days, 50%,
(iv) longer than 270 days but not more than 365 days, 75%, and (v) longer than 365 days, 100%; and 
 (b) beginning
with the Test Period ending with the first full fiscal quarter following the Commercial Operation Date of a Material Project and for the Test Periods ending with the two immediately succeeding fiscal quarters, an amount equal to the greater of
(i) three times the actual Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such Material Project for such first full fiscal quarter (if the first full fiscal quarter), 100% of the actual Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such Material Project for such
first two fiscal quarters (if the second full fiscal quarter), or one-third of the actual Consolidated EBITDA for such first three fiscal quarters (if the third full fiscal quarter) or (ii) 75% (if the first full fiscal quarter), 50% (if the
second full fiscal quarter) or 25% (if the third full fiscal quarter) of the Projected Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such Material Project for the first full Test Period following such Commercial Operation Date, which may, at the
Borrower’s option, be added to actual Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Periods. 

  
 3 







 Notwithstanding the foregoing: 

(i) no such Material Project EBITDA Adjustment shall be allowed with respect to any Material Project unless: 

(A) at least 30 days (or such lesser period as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior to the last day of
the Test Period for which the Borrower desires to commence inclusion of such Material Project EBITDA Adjustment in Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA with respect to a Material Project (the “Initial Test Period”), the Borrower shall have
delivered to Administrative Agent notice of such Material Project and the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date with respect thereto, together with written pro forma projections of Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such Material Project for the
first full Test Period following the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date with respect to such Material Project, and 
 (B)
prior to the last day of the Initial Test Period, a majority of the Arrangers shall have approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) such projections and shall have received such other information and documentation as a
majority of the Arrangers may reasonably request with respect to such Material Project, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to a majority of the Arrangers. 

(ii) the aggregate amount of all Material Project EBITDA Adjustments for any Test Period shall be limited to 20% of the total
actual Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period (which total actual Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA shall be determined without including any Material Project EBITDA Adjustments); provided that, prior to the Investment Grade Date, such
20% limit shall automatically increase to 30% for the time period commencing with the Commencement Date for an Exempted Joint Venture and continuing through and until the third full fiscal quarter following the Commercial Operation Date for such
Exempted Joint Venture, and for all periods thereafter such limit shall be 20%; provided further that, upon the Investment Grade Date and for all periods thereafter such limit shall be 30%. 

For purposes of the foregoing, “commercial operation” shall be deemed achieved for any Material Project at such time, at or after the
completion of construction or expansion thereof and the initial placement thereof into service, as such Material Project first realizes the long-term operating levels reasonably expected for such Material Project. 

  
 4 







 (c) The definition of “Applicable Margin” hereby is amended and restated in its
entirety as follows: 
 “Applicable Margin” means, with respect to any ABR Loan or Eurodollar Loan, or with
respect to the Unused Fee on Committed Amount, as the case may be, (a) prior to the Investment Grade Date, the rate per annum set forth in the Leverage-Based Pricing Grid below based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio then in effect and
(b) at any time from and after the Investment Grade Date, the rate per annum set forth in the Ratings-Based Pricing Grid based upon the Rating then in effect:

Eurodollar Loans made, continued or converted on and after such delivery date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during which the applicable Borrower Party has failed to deliver such financial statements to the Administrative Agent when
due, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be deemed, solely for the purpose of this definition, to be Level V until such time as the applicable Borrower Party shall deliver such financial statements.

apply; and (c) if the Rating

established by Moody’s or S&P shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on
which it is first announced by the applicable Rating Agency. If the rating system of S&P or Moody’s shall change, or if any of S&P or Moody’s shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith if necessary to amend this provision to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of Ratings from such Ratings Agencies and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the
applicable LIBOR Margin, Base Rate Margin and Unused Fee on Committed Amount shall be determined by reference to the Rating of such Rating Agency most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation. 

(d) The definition of “Change in Control” hereby is amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 

“Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the Borrower and the

Document will constitute First Priority fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of it and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Collateral, in each case with no other Liens except for Permitted Encumbrances.

 2.7 Amendment to Section 4.01 (Effective Date). The text of Section 4.01(j) hereby is amended and restated in its

amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, as applicable (except such representations and warranties (other than, after the Investment Grade Date, those set forth in Section 3.04(c)) that are stated to relate to a specific

Organic Growth, in the case of (x) or (y) other than Covered 

  
 16 







 
Property or Excluded Property, it will, in the case of (x), no later than the date that is 30 calendar days after such acquisition is consummated, subject to extension in the sole discretion of
the Administrative Agent, or in the case of (y), prior to or concurrently with the next delivery of financial statements under Section 5.01(a) or (b), subject to the extension in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, grant or cause
to be granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a First Priority Lien of record (and a Mortgage, in the case of Real Property) on all such Equity Interests, Real Property, Pipelines and other Property (with no other
Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances), upon terms substantially the same as those set forth in the Security Documents for Property of a similar type, complete such other actions as would have been necessary to satisfy the conditions set forth in
Section 4.01 had such Property been owned thereby on the date of this Agreement, complete such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.11, provide such legal opinions as may be
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, pay, or cause to be paid, all taxes and fees related to any necessary registration, filing or recording in connection therewith, with respect to any such Real Property, comply with all applicable
Governmental Real Property Disclosure Requirements, and with respect to any Real Property other than Excluded Property on which any “Building” or “Manufactured (Mobile) Home” (each, as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance
Regulations and to the extent not constituting Excluded Property) is located, provide a Federal Emergency Management Agency Standard Flood Hazard Determination; provided however, that, without limiting the right of the Administrative Agent to
request legal opinions as described above, in the case of any New Pipeline, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have caused a Lien of record to have been so granted, and such actions so taken, and any requirement herein
otherwise with respect to the creation or perfection of a Lien thereon shall be deemed duly satisfied, in each case so long as a duly completed UCC financing statement indicating such New Pipeline as collateral and specifying the debtor as a
“transmitting utility” has been duly filed in the central filing office of the state in which such New Pipeline is located and other jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in each case in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (but without the filing or recording of a Mortgage in any real property record with respect to such New Pipeline being required). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Genesis Rail Services, LLC
shall not be required to mortgage the Vee Bar Leasehold Interest so long as a duly completed UCC financing statement including as collateral all fixtures associated with the real property covered by the Vee Bar Leasehold Interest and specifying the
debtor as a “transmitting utility” has been duly filed in the filing office of each county and state in which the real property covered by the Vee Bar Leasehold Interest is located, as well as the state where Genesis Rail Services, LLC is
organized.

Agreement to become a party to each applicable Loan Document, including the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and to promptly, subject to extension in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
all such documents, agreements and instruments necessary to accomplish such obligation, including legal opinions (if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) relating to such Restricted Subsidiary, which opinions shall be in

created or acquired Restricted Subsidiary (including delivery of original stock certificates or other certificates evidencing the Equity Interests of such Restricted Subsidiary, if any, together with an appropriate undated stock power for each
certificate duly executed in blank by the registered owner thereof) to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall cause 100% of the Equity Interests owned directly or indirectly by the Borrower in all Restricted Subsidiaries to be pledged to the
Administrative Agent at all times pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or a substantially similar agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(c) With respect to each Unrestricted Subsidiary and Joint Venture, it will pledge or cause each Restricted Subsidiary that
owns any Equity Interests in any Unrestricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture to pledge all of the Equity Interests that are in a domestic Unrestricted Subsidiary and/or a domestic Joint Venture owned (of record) by it, and 65% of the voting Equity
Interests that are in a foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary and/or a foreign Joint Venture owned (of record) by it; provided that a pledge of such Equity Interests shall not be required (i) with respect to the Equity Interests of NEJD SPE 2
owned by NEJD SPE 1, (ii) with respect to the Equity Interests of FS SPE 2 owned by FS SPE 1, or (iii) if (x) such Equity Interests are otherwise required to be pledged in order to secure the Non-Recourse Obligations of such
Unrestricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture, or (y) with respect to Joint Ventures, (A) the Organizational Documents of such Joint Venture prohibit such pledge or (B) such Equity Interests are otherwise required to be pledged to secure
obligations to the other holders of Equity Interests in such Joint Venture; provided that in the event such Equity Interests are required to be so pledged, the direct parent of the Restricted Subsidiary that owns such pledged Equity Interests
shall have pledged (pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) 100% of the Equity Interests of such Restricted Subsidiary. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.10 or this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, after the
Investment Grade Date, the Borrower shall no longer be required to comply with clauses (a) through (c) of this Section 5.10 with respect to any Person or property that is not subject to the Security Documents prior to the Investment

of the NEJD Transaction Documents or the NEJD Intercompany Financing Agreements and except for Indebtedness or Guarantee obligations in respect of Priority Debt incurred pursuant to Section 6.01(B) on or after the Investment Grade Date,

the extent permitted by Section 6.02(h), (ii) such Indebtedness or Disqualified Equity exists at the time of such Acquisition at least in the amounts assumed in connection therewith and is not drawn down, created or increased in
