 AFFILIATED COMPANY CREDIT AGREEMENT 

THIS AFFILIATED COMPANY CREDIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of November 28, 2017 and is made by and among
CONSOL COAL RESOURCES LP (f/k/a CNX COAL RESOURCES LP), a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), EACH OF THE GUARANTORS (as hereinafter defined), the LENDERS (as hereinafter defined),
CONSOL ENERGY INC. (f/k/a CONSOL MINING CORPORATION), a Delaware corporation, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as collateral
agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent” and, together with the Administrative Agent, the “Agents”). 

The Borrower has requested the Lenders to provide a revolving credit facility to the Borrower. In consideration of their mutual covenants and
agreements hereinafter set forth and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows: 
 1. CERTAIN
DEFINITIONS 
 1.1 Certain Definitions. 

In addition to words and terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the following words and terms shall have the following meanings,
respectively, unless the context hereof clearly requires otherwise: 
 “Account” shall have the meaning set forth in the
Security Agreement. 
 “Additional Credit Extension Amendment” shall mean an amendment to this Agreement (which may, at the
option of the Agents in consultation with the Borrower, be in the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) providing for any Extended Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9 [Extended Commitments], which shall be consistent with the
applicable provisions of this Agreement and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the parties thereto. Each Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall be executed by the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties and the other parties specified in the
applicable Section of this Agreement (but not any other Lender not specified in the applicable Section of this Agreement) and acknowledged by the Collateral Agent, but shall not effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected
Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in Section 11.1.1 [Required Consents] (other than amendments relating to provisions of Extended Commitments that are expressly permitted to be different from those of the Commitments under the terms
of Section 2.9 [Extended Commitments]). Any Additional Credit Extension Amendment may include conditions for delivery of customary opinions of counsel and other documentation consistent with the conditions in Section 7.1.1 [Deliveries] and
certificates confirming satisfaction of conditions consistent with Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan], all to the extent reasonably requested by any Agent or the other parties to such Additional Credit Extension Amendment; provided that
the effectiveness of each Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall be subject to the Required Flood Materials having been made available to the Lenders not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Additional
Credit Extension Amendment. 
 “Administrative Agent” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the preamble hereto.

 “Affiliate” of any specified Person shall mean any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or
under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, “control,” as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or 







 
indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of Voting Stock, by agreement or otherwise. For purposes of

Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a
Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Commitment of a
Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. All Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date. 

2.4 Voluntary Commitment Reduction. 

(a) The Borrower shall have the right any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent to permanently reduce, in whole multiples of $1,000,000, or terminate the Commitments; provided that any 

  
 -43- 








 
such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by (i) the payment in full of any Commitment Fee then accrued on the amount of such reduction or termination and (ii) the prepayment
of the Loans, together with the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid, to the extent that the Usage exceeds the Commitment as so reduced or terminated; and provided further that the Commitments may not be
reduced below the Usage. Each reduction of Commitments shall ratably reduce the Commitments of the Lenders, except as otherwise provided in an Additional Credit Extension Amendment as permitted in the definition of “Class.” From the
effective date of any such reduction or termination, the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.3 [Commitment Fees] shall correspondingly be reduced or cease. 

(b) All voluntary commitment reduction notices shall be irrevocable, except that any notice of voluntary commitment reduction may state that
such notice is conditional upon the consummation of a financing transaction, in which case such notice of voluntary commitment reduction may be revoked or delayed by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
date of reduction) if such condition is not satisfied. 
 2.5 Loan Requests. 

Except as otherwise provided herein, subject to the notice requirements set forth in this Section 2.5 and the other terms and conditions
hereof, the Borrower may from time to time prior to the Maturity Date request the Lenders to make Loans by delivering to the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, a duly completed
request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.5 or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing in such form and delivered by facsimile or email (in “pdf,” “tif” or similar format) (each, a
“Loan Request”); it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation (but for the avoidance of
doubt, such written confirmation shall nonetheless still be required to be so delivered as otherwise set forth in this sentence). Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify or certify, as applicable (i) the proposed Borrowing Date
and (ii) the aggregate amount of the proposed Loans comprising such Borrowing Tranche, which amount shall be in an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $500,000. 

2.6 Making and Repayment of Loans. 

2.6.1 Making Loans. 
 The
Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.5 [Loan Requests], notify the Lenders of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying the information provided by the Borrower and the apportionment
among the Lenders of the requested Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Loans]. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Loan to the
Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan], fund such
Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m. on the applicable Borrowing Date. 

2.6.2 Repayment of Loans. 

The Borrower shall repay all Loans together with all outstanding interest thereon on the Maturity Date. 

  
 -44- 








 2.7 Provision of Notes. 

The obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to it by such Lender, together with interest
thereon, shall be evidenced by a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender, and such Note shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent on the Closing Date. The Loans shall mature, and the Borrower
unconditionally agrees to pay in full the unpaid principal amount and all amounts outstanding and unpaid in respect of the Loans to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, on the Maturity Date. 

2.8 Use of Proceeds. 
 The
proceeds of the Loans will be used in accordance with Section 8.1.11 [Use of Proceeds]. 
 2.9 Extended Commitments. 

(a) [Reserved]. 
 (b) The Borrower
may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Commitments of any Class (the Commitments of such applicable Class, the “Existing Commitments”) be converted into a new Class of Commitments (the
Commitments of such applicable Class, the “Extended Commitments”) with terms consistent with this Section 2.9(b). In order to establish any Extended Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent
(an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Commitments to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Commitments except that: 

(i) the maturity date of the Extended Commitments shall be later than the maturity date of the Existing Commitments; 

(ii) (A) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discount and
premiums with respect to the Extended Commitments may be different than those for the Existing Commitments and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Extending Lenders in addition to or in lieu of any of the items
contemplated by the preceding subclause (A) and/or (C) the undrawn revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Commitments may be different than those for the Existing Commitments; and 

(iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may be subject to covenants and other terms for the benefit of the Extending Lenders
that apply only after the Latest Maturity Date (before giving effect to the Extended Commitments). 
 (c) Each Extension Request shall
specify the date (the “Extension Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the conversion of any Existing Commitments into Extended Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. Each Lender of Loans of an Existing Class that are requested to be extended shall be offered the opportunity to convert its Existing Commitments into Extended Commitments on the same basis as each other Lender of Loans of
the same Existing Class. Any Lender (to the extent applicable, an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Commitments subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Commitments shall notify
the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Existing Commitments subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended
Commitments. In the event that the 

  
 -45- 








 
aggregate portion of the Existing Commitments subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of the Extended Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the portion of the
Existing Commitments converted shall be allocated on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the Existing Commitments included in each such Extension Election. 

(d) An Extended Class shall be established pursuant to an Additional Credit Extension Amendment executed by the Extending Lenders (and the
other Persons specified in the definition of “Additional Credit Extension Amendment” but no other existing Lender). No Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall provide for any Class of Extended Commitments in an aggregate principal
amount that is less than $1,000,000. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on the Extension Effective
Date, (i) the amount of each Existing Commitment shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the amount converted into an Extended Commitment and (ii) if, on any Extension Effective Date, any Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding
under the applicable Existing Commitments, such Loans shall be deemed to be converted into Loans made pursuant to the Extended Commitments in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Existing Commitments are converted to Extended
Commitments. 
 (f) This Section 2.9 shall supersede any provisions in Section 5.2 [Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders],
Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] or Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] to the contrary. Each Extended Class shall be documented by an Additional Credit Extension Amendment executed by the Extending Lenders
providing such Extended Class (and the other Persons specified in the definition of Additional Credit Extension Amendment but no other existing Lender), and the Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide for such amendments to this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.9. 

3. RESERVED 
 4. INTEREST RATES

 4.1 Interest Rates. 

All Loans shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time and be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
the case may be, and actual days elapsed. 
 4.2 Interest After Default. 

To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived and upon the written demand of the Required Lenders: 
 (a) the rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to
Section 4.1 [Interest Rates] shall be increased by 2.0% per annum; and 
 (b) each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall
bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest then applicable to Loans plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full. 

  
 -46- 








 The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 4.2
reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be
payable by the Borrower upon demand by the Administrative Agent. 
 5. PAYMENTS 

5.1 Payments. 
 All
payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, the Collateral Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date when due without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall
immediately accrue. All payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the ratable
accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds; provided that in the event payments are received by 1:00 p.m. by the
Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Lenders interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate
with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account stated.” 

5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. 

Each Borrowing Tranche shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with
respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees or other fees (except for the Collateral Agent’s Fee) or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Lenders with respect to the Commitments and the Loans, shall (except in the case of an event
specified in Section 5.7 [Increased Costs]) be payable ratably among the Lenders entitled to such payment in accordance with the amount of principal, interest, Commitment Fees and other fees or amounts then due to such Lender as set forth in
this Agreement. 
 5.3 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. 

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization
upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving
payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than the pro rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that
the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase;
and 

  
 -47- 








 (ii) the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not be construed to apply to
(x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall apply). 

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such
participation. 
 5.4 Presumptions by Administrative Agent. 

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 5.5 Interest Payment Dates. 

Interest on Loans shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary
Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise). 

5.6 Prepayments. 
 5.6.1
Right to Prepay. 
 The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part, without
premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 5.7 [Increased Costs]). Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the time of prepayment of the
Loans, setting forth the following information: 
 (a) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be
made; 
 (b) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than the lesser of (x) the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Loans and (y) $500,000. 

  
 -48- 








 All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable, except that any notice of voluntary prepayment may
state that such notice is conditional upon the consummation of a financing transaction, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked or delayed by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of
prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as
the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. 
 5.6.2 Designation of a Different Lending Office. 

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.7 [Increased Costs], or the Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified
Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.8 [Taxes], then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office
for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.7 [Increased Costs] or Section 5.8 [Taxes], as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

5.6.3 Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) If at any time the Usage is in excess of the Commitments (as used in this Section 5.6.3(a), a “deficiency”), the
Borrower shall immediately make a principal payment on the Loans sufficient to cause the principal balance of the Loans then outstanding to be equal to or less than the Commitments then in effect. 

(b) In the event of any Permitted Undivided Interests Sale, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following the receipt of the
Net Cash Proceeds therefrom reduce Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds, and comply with Section 5.6.3(a) to the extent such reduction results in a deficiency. 

5.7 Increased Costs. 

5.7.1 Increased Costs Generally. 

If any Change in Law shall: 
 (a)
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended in by, any Lender; 

(b) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or its other obligations, deposits, reserves, other
liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or change the basis of Taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.8 [Taxes] and any Excluded Taxes); or 

  
 -49- 








 (c) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this
Agreement; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of participating in or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other
amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

5.7.2 Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans. 

A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be,
as specified in Sections5.7.1 [Increased Costs Generally] and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days
after receipt thereof. 
 5.7.3 Delay in Requests. 

Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.7 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months
prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

5.8 Taxes. 
 5.8.1
Payments Free of Taxes. 
 Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if any Loan Party or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments,
then (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 5.8) each Lender (or, in the case of a payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made
(provided, that if the applicable withholding agent in respect of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax is a Person other than a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent (e.g., a Lender), the additional amounts required to be paid by a Loan Party
under this clause (i) in respect of such Tax shall not be greater than the additional amounts such Loan Party would have been obligated to pay had such Loan Party made payment of such sum directly to the applicable beneficial owner of such
payment, provided further, that such Tax would not have been an Excluded Tax had such beneficial owner been a Lender hereunder and had complied with Section 5.8.5), (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and
(iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law. 

  
 -50- 








 5.8.2 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. 

Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.8.1 [Payments Free of Taxes] above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law. 
 5.8.3 Indemnification by the Borrower. 

The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of
any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.8) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

5.8.4 Evidence of Payments. 

As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes by the Borrower to an Official Body, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

5.8.5 Status of Lenders. 

(a) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any such documentation
(including any specific documentation required below in this Section 5.8.5) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any
new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not
such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.8.5. 
 (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(i) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

  
 -51- 








 (A) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of
America is a party, 
 (B) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form
W-8ECI (or any successor forms), 
 (C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the
benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.8.5 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning
of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no payments in connection with any Loan Document are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and
(y) two duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms), 

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a
participating Lender), two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 5.8.5 [Status of Lenders] if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as
applicable (provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be
provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), or 
 (E) two (2) duly completed valid
originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable
Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 (ii) Each Lender that is a
“United States person” as defined in section 7701 of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two (2) originals of an IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. 

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA
if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their FATCA obligations, to determine whether such Lender has or has
not complied with such Lender’s FATCA obligations and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. 

  
 -52- 








 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.8.5, a Lender shall not be
required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. 
 5.8.6 Refunds. 

If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or
with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.8, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by
such Loan Party under this Section 5.8 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes
imposed with respect to such refund) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party,
upon the request of such Administrative Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the
event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. This Section 5.8 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 5.8.7 Administrative Agent
Forms. 
 The Administrative Agent (and any assignee or successor) will deliver, to the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which it
becomes a party to this Agreement, either (i) (A) two (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account and (B) two (2) duly
completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (certifying that it is either a “qualified intermediary” or a “U.S. branch” that agrees to be treated as a United States person with respect to payments
made to and on behalf of the Lenders) for the amounts the Administrative Agent receives for the account of others, or (ii) two (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-9, whichever is applicable. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 5.8.7, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of any Change in Law after the date hereof. 

6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to each Agent (and, in the case of Section 6.12 [Full Disclosure], the CEI
Agents and the CEI Lenders) and each of the Lenders as follows: 
 6.1 Organization and Qualification. 

Each Loan Party is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (if the
concept of “good standing” is recognized under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction with respect to such Loan Party) under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Each Loan Party has the lawful power to own or lease its properties
and to conduct its business in which it is currently engaged, except where the failure to have such power would not reasonably be expected to result in any Material Adverse Change. Each Loan Party is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing
in each jurisdiction listed on Schedule 6.1 and in all other jurisdictions where the property owned or leased by it or the nature of the business transacted by it or both makes such licensing or qualification necessary except to the extent
that the failure to be so duly licensed or qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to result in any Material Adverse Change. 

  
 -53-

sentence attached to such certificate and (y) from time to time a summary schedule indicating all commercial insurance then in force with respect to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries. Such policies of insurance shall contain the
necessary endorsements or policy language, which shall (i) specify the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as an additional insured on the liability policies and mortgagee and lender loss payee as their interests may appear on the
property policies, with the understanding that any obligation imposed upon the insured (including the liability to pay premiums) shall be the sole obligation of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries and not that of the additional insured,
(ii) provide that the interest of the Lenders, under the lender’s loss payable endorsement in a form similar to the form provided on the Closing Date or pursuant to Section 8.1.21 [Post-Closing Matters], shall be insured regardless of
any breach or violation by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policies or any action or inaction of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) provide a waiver of any
right of the insurers to set off or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise (to the extent that the Loan Parties are able on a commercially reasonable efforts basis to obtain such waiver from the insurers), (iv)
provide that no cancellation of such policies for any reason (including non-payment of premium) nor any change therein shall be effective until at least ten (10) days after notification to the Collateral
Agent of such cancellation or change, (v) be primary without right of contribution of any other liability insurance carried by or on behalf of any additional insureds with respect to their respective interests in the Collateral, and
(vi) provide that inasmuch as any liability policy covers more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements (except limits of liability) shall operate as if there were a separate policy covering each insured.

 (b) Each Loan Party shall take all actions required under the Flood Laws and otherwise reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to
assist in ensuring that each Lender is in compliance with the Flood Laws applicable to the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) maintaining such flood insurance in full force and effect and otherwise sufficient to comply with all

to the Collateral Agent and (iii) delivering to the Collateral Agent an executed acknowledgment of each “Life-of-Loan” flood hazard determination
delivered to the Borrower promptly following receipt of each such determination.

which the proceeds or other compensation in respect thereof could reasonably be expected to equal or exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of such event(s) and the estimated

8.1.6 Visitation Rights. 

The Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall permit any of the officers or authorized employees or representatives of any Agent or any of
the Lenders (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at such Agent’s or such Lender’s expense) to visit and inspect their properties during normal business hours and to examine (including, without limitation, any
field examinations) and make excerpts from their books and records and discuss their business affairs, finances and accounts with their officers, all in such detail and at such times and as often as any of the Lenders may reasonably request;
provided that each Lender shall provide the Borrower and each Agent with reasonable notice prior to any visit or inspection, all such visits and inspections shall be made in accordance with the standard safety, visit, and inspection

advisable from time to time in order to preserve, perfect and protect the Liens granted under the Loan Documents and to exercise and enforce the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies thereunder with respect to the Collateral or (ii) the
CEI Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion may deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to preserve, perfect and protect the Liens granted under the CEI Credit Documents in respect of the Secured Parties’ interests in the

indefeasibly Paid in Full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) amounts received from
the Borrower or any Guarantor that is not a Qualified ECP Loan Party shall not be applied to the Obligations that are Excluded Swap Obligations (it being understood, that in the event that any amount is applied to Obligations other than Excluded
Swap Obligations as a result of this clause (a), the Administrative Agents shall make such adjustments as they determine are appropriate to distributions pursuant to clause Fourth above from amounts received from a Qualified ECP Loan Party to
ensure, as nearly as possible, that the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to Obligations described in clause Fourth above by the holders of any Excluded Swap Obligations are the same as the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect
to other Obligations pursuant to clause Fourth above) and (b) Obligations arising under Specified Swap Agreements and Other Lender Provided Financial Service Products shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative

hereunder (to the extent that this Agreement or any other Loan Document empowers the Lenders to direct the Administrative Agent)) shall be entitled or have the power to direct or instruct the Collateral Agent on any such matters or to control or

circumstances as provided in, Sections 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] and 9.2 [Consequences of Event of Default]) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge

statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper
Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, such Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such
Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 10.5 Delegation of Duties. 

The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent of the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their activities as Collateral Agent or sub-agent of the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. 

10.6 Resignation of Agents. 

The Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor that is (i) one of the Bookrunners (as defined in the CEI Credit Agreement) under the CEI Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date, (ii) the
Person serving as the Administrative Agent or (iii) any other Person that is approved by the Borrower in its sole discretion; provided such approval by the Borrower shall not be required following a Replacement Exercise of Remedies. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring
Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 10.6). The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Collateral Agent (unless the successor is the Initial Lender or any of its Affiliates) shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Collateral
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10.6 and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent. Except with the
consent of the Collateral Agent (which the Collateral Agent may withhold at its sole discretion) and, except following a Replacement Exercise of Remedies, the Borrower (which the Borrower may withhold in its sole discretion), the Administrative
Agent may not resign or retire. To the extent any such resignation or retirement occurs with the consent of the Collateral Agent (and, prior to a Replacement Exercise of Remedies, the Borrower) referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, the
procedures for the resignation, retirement and replacement of the Administrative Agent shall be satisfactory in all respects to the Collateral Agent and, except following a Replacement Exercise of Remedies, the Borrower. Any Person that succeeds to
or replaces the Administrative Agent shall be satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion and, except following a Replacement Exercise of Remedies, the Borrower in its sole discretion.

 10.7 Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent. 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any of its Related Parties and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any of
its Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 10.8 Collateral Agent Role. 

The Loan Parties and the Secured Parties hereby acknowledge that PNC is acting as collateral agent, an administrative agent, a letter of credit
issuer and a lender under the CEI Credit Documents and may act as an agent or lender under other financing agreements of the Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or CEI or one or more of its Affiliates, and expressly consent to PNC acting in any such
capacity, including any action or inaction in its capacity as Collateral Agent hereunder that it determines to be in furtherance of, or not contrary to, the interests of the CEI Secured Parties. The Loan Parties and the Secured Parties hereby waive
any conflict of interest that may arise out of PNC acting in such capacity, and make the agreements and acknowledgements set forth in Section 11.13 [No Fiduciary Duty] with respect to PNC’s acting in such capacity mutatis mutandis. The
Loan Parties and the Secured Parties shall not claim, or support any Person in claiming, any conflict of interest or invalidity of (i) the exercise by the Collateral Agent or the CEI
Collateral Agent of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or the CEI Credit Documents and (ii) any other duty, obligation or right of the Collateral Agent or the CEI Collateral Agent. The Loan Parties and the Secured Parties agree not
to contest, or challenge or support any other Person in contesting or challenging, the acknowledgements, consents, waivers and agreements under this paragraph for any reason. 

10.9 Collateral Agent’s Fee. 

The Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Collateral Agent’s Fee”) under the terms of a
letter (the “Collateral Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, as amended from time to time. 

10.10 Authorization to Release Collateral and Guarantors. 

Each Secured Party expressly agrees that, upon the written request of the Borrower (accompanied by such certificates and other documentation as
the applicable Agent may reasonably request), the applicable Agent shall, so long as no Event of Default would exist after giving effect thereto: 

(a) in the case of the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Collateral Agent (such consent not to be withheld if such release is
authorized hereunder), release any Person from the Guaranty Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, in either case, pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents; and 

(b) in the case of the Collateral Agent (i) execute any document in a form reasonably satisfactory to it, evidencing the release of any
asset from the Lien of the Security Document upon the Disposition (other than any lease) of such asset permitted by the Loan Documents (other than a Disposition to a Loan Party) and (ii) enter into any subordination agreement, non-disturbance agreement or grant of an option with respect to assets, in each case, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, in connection with any easements, permits, licenses, rights of way,
options, surface leases or other surface rights or interests permitted by the Loan Documents to be granted or a Disposition permitted by the Loan Documents. 

  
 -97- 








 The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable,
such certificates and other documentation as such Agent(s) may reasonably request to evidence compliance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents. 

10.11 No Reliance on Collateral Agent’s Customer Identification Program. 

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates or assignees, may rely on the Collateral Agent to carry
out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31
CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their
respective Affiliates or their respective agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists,
(iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws. 
 10.12 Withholding
Tax. 
 To the extent required by any applicable Law (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent
may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 5.8 [Taxes], each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Official Body as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the
account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from,
or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.12 [Withholding Tax]. The agreements in this
Section 10.12 [Withholding Tax] shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other obligations. 
 10.13 Certain ERISA Matters. 

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the
date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of each Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between each Agent, in its sole discretion,
and such Lender. 
 (b) In addition, (I) unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding
clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (II) if such sub-clause (i) is not true with respect to a Lender and such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as
provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and
(y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, each Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of
the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that:

(ii) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in,

waivers or consents hereunder or thereunder; provided that no consent of any Lender is required for actions authorized by Section 10.10 [Authorization to Release Collateral and Guarantors]. Any such agreement, waiver or consent made with

application) of any rate increase described in Section 4.2 [Interest After Default] shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest or a reduction of principal, interest or fees); 

  
 -100-

Lenders and the Collateral Agent, release all or substantially all of the Guarantors (as measured by fair market value of their assets) from their Obligations under the Guaranty Agreement;

 -101- 








 11.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. 

No course of dealing and no delay or failure of any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or
privilege. The rights and remedies of each Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. 

11.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

11.3.1 Costs and Expenses. 

The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by each Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel and land professionals for any Agent), and shall pay all reasonable fees in connection with the preparation, negotiation,
execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent or any Lender (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for
any Agent or any Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver],

the Loan Parties’ books, records and business properties. 
 11.3.2 Indemnification by the Borrower. 

The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each CEI Agent, each Lender, and
each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable out-of-pocket related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any
Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of the Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution, enforcement or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, any of the Transactions (other than as described in clause (1) of the definition thereof) or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance or nonperformance by the Loan Parties of their respective
obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any breach of representations, warranties or covenants of
any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, including any such items or losses relating to or arising under Environmental Laws or

that the Borrower shall not be liable for any portion of any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements with respect 

  
 -102 

- 








 
to an Indemnitee (A) if the same is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (B) results from a dispute solely among Indemnitees (other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an Agent or any similar role under this
Agreement and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates). The Indemnitees will attempt to minimize the fees and expenses of legal counsel for the Indemnitees which are subject to reimbursement
by the Borrower hereunder by considering the usage of one law firm to represent the Indemnitees if appropriate under the circumstances. This Section 11.3.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses,
claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower’s indemnifications obligations in respect of CEI are limited to CEI in its capacity as Administrative Agent
or Lender hereunder. 
 11.3.3 Reimbursement by Lenders. 

To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 2.9.8 [Indemnity],
Section 11.3.1 [Costs and Expenses] or Section 11.3.2 [Indemnification by the Borrower] to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each
Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against an Agent (or any
such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such
capacity. 
 11.3.4 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. 

No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damages are found to be a final, non-appealable judgment of a court to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, nor shall any Indemnitee, Loan Party or any Subsidiary have any liability for any special, punitive,
indirect or consequential damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); it
being agreed that this sentence shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties pursuant to Section 11.3.2 [Indemnification by the Borrower]. 

11.3.5 Payments. 
 All
amounts due under this Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor. 

11.4 Holidays. 
 Whenever
payment of a Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, except that the Loans
shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date if the Maturity Date is not a Business Day. Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a
Business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.

11.5.2 Electronic Communications. 

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Collateral Agent and the CEI Agents; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender if such Lender has
notified the Collateral Agent and the CEI Agents that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication and the Collateral Agent and the CEI Agents shall have notified the Borrower of the same. Each Agent or the
Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular
notices or communications. Unless the Collateral Agent and the CEI Agents otherwise prescribe, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the
sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement);
provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the
recipient and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the
foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. 

11.5.3 Change of Address, Etc. 

Any party hereto may change its address, e-mail address or telecopier number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. 
 11.6 Severability. 

The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in
whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction
or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the CEI Agents, the CEI Lenders and the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders, and as set forth in Section 11.12 [Certain Collateral
Matters]) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 11.8.2
Assignments by Lenders. 
 Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(a) Minimum Amounts. 

(i) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

(ii) in any case not described in clause (a)(i) of this Section 11.8.2, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of such


  
 -105- 








 
Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Commitment of the assigning Lender, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

(b) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned. 
 (c) Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except for the following consents : 
 (i) the consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent; 
 (ii) the consent (which consent may
be withheld in its sole discretion) of the Collateral Agent; and 
 (iii) the consent (which consent may be withheld in its
sole discretion) of the Borrower, except following a Replacement Exercise of Remedies; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agents within
five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof. 
 (d) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to each Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Prohibited Assignments. No such assignment shall be made to (i) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or
(ii) any natural person. 
 (f) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.8.3
[Register], from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 5.7 [Increased Costs], and Section 11.3 [Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. 

11.8.3 Register. 
 The
Administrative Agent shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time
(the “Register”). The Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of the Register to the Collateral Agent and each CEI Agent upon request. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is in
the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

 11.8.4 Collateral Assignment. 

(a) Unless otherwise agreed to by the CEI Collateral Agent (in its sole discretion), no Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to any Person other than the CEI Collateral Agent. 
 (b) The Loan
Parties (i) consent in all respects to the collateral assignment under the CEI Credit Documents and the CEI Second Lien Notes of all of the Lenders’ right, title and interest in, to and under the Loan Documents, and will execute all such
documentation reasonably requested by the CEI Collateral Agent or the collateral trustee for the CEI Second Lien Notes to evidence such pledge and collateral assignment, (ii) agree that each CEI Secured Party is an express third party
beneficiary under each provision of each Loan Document to the extent such CEI Secured Party or the Collateral Agent is referred to or specified in such provision of such Loan Document, (iii) acknowledge the right of the CEI Collateral Agent or
its designee(s) or assignee(s), in the exercise of the CEI Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under the CEI Credit Documents, to make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise all rights of the Secured Parties under the
Loan Documents (the “Assigned Interests”) and (iv) acknowledge that if the CEI Collateral Agent or its designee(s) or assignee(s) has elected to exercise the rights and remedies set forth in the CEI Credit Documents, then the
CEI Collateral Agent, its designee(s) or assignee(s) or any other purchaser of the Assigned Interests in a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale (a “Substitute Lender”) shall be substituted for the Lender(s) under the Loan
Documents. In the event described in clause (iv), the Loan Parties shall recognize the Substitute Lender in its capacity as such and shall continue to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents in favor of the Substitute Lender. Each Loan
Party agrees not to contest or challenge or support any other Person in contesting or challenging any of such Loan Party’s obligations, acknowledgements and agreements under this paragraph for any reason. 

11.9 Confidentiality. 

11.9.1 General. 
 Each of
the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees,
agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.9, to (a) any assignee of, or any prospective
assignee of, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent
of the Borrower, (viii) to the extent such Information (a) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.9 or (b) becomes available to any Agent or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates
on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, the other Loan Parties or any other Person that has obtained such confidential information pursuant to this Section 11.9 or (ix) to the CEI Agents, CEI Lenders and the
letter of credit issuers under the CEI Credit Agreement in accordance with the confidentiality 

  
 -107- 








 
provisions of the CEI Credit Agreement. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.9 shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.9.1
applies to CEI only in its capacities as Administrative Agent and Lender hereunder and not in its direct or indirect capacities as a limited partner or the General Partner of the Borrower. 

11.9.2 Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Lenders. 

Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to the
Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender, Agent, CEI Agent or CEI Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender, and each of the Loan Parties hereby authorizes each
Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate subject to the provisions of Section 11.9.1 [General]. 

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments. Except as provided in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending], this Agreement shall become effective
when it shall have been executed by the Agents, the Loan Parties and the Initial Lender and when the Agents shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement
shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping
system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar
state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 11.11 Governing Law, Etc. 

11.11.1 Governing Law. 

This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF
THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN

JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 

11.11.3 WAIVER OF VENUE. 

THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION
THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SECTION 11.11.2 [SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION]. EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY SUCH DEFENSE.

LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.11.5. 

  
 -109- 








 11.12 Certain Collateral Matters. 

The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to any Collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend
to and be available to the Secured Parties. No Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any Specified Swap Agreement or any Other Lender
Provided Financial Service Product, and no Person shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document solely because of such Person’s status as an Indemnitee. 

11.13 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. 

Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Loan Parties
that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of Loan Parties and other information that will allow

agency or fiduciary responsibility in any Loan Party’s or their respective Affiliates’ favor with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (irrespective of whether any such Person has advised or is currently advising any Loan
Party or its Affiliates on other matters), and no such Person has any obligation to the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein;
(iii) such Person and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates and, such Secured Parties have no obligation to disclose
any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (iv) the Collateral Agent, CEI Agents and CEI Lenders have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice in any jurisdiction with respect to

its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither (A) the Collateral Agent, CEI Agent, CEI Lender nor (B) any
of their respective Affiliates shall have any responsibility or liability to any Loan Party with respect thereto. Each Loan Party hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that such Loan Party may have against

	V	 	3 3.00:1.00	 	4.75%

 For purposes of determining the Applicable Rate: 

(a) From the Closing Date through the date on which the first Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered hereunder
after the Closing Date (the “Initial Period”), the Applicable Rate shall be the amount set forth under Level III of this Schedule 1.1(A) set forth above. 

(b) It is expressly agreed that after the Initial Period, the Applicable Rate shall be determined based upon Schedule
1.1(A) above and change on each date on which a Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered hereunder. 
 (c) If,
as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Net Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any
applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without
further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph
shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Section 4.2 [Interest After Default] or Section 9 [Default]. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination
of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
