 LEASE 
 2.1 Lease of Facility. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Exchange Agreement, from the Effective Date, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and

 (b) Upon the occurrence of
the Effective Date, the Existing Lease, together with all amendments and modifications thereto, shall terminate. Each Party for itself, its Affiliates and its and their successors and assigns agrees that (i) the termination of the Existing
Lease shall be treated as a termination by agreement without fault or breach on the part of either Party and (ii) the terms of Section 3.2 of the Existing Lease shall apply to such termination, provided that Sections 3.2(c) and
(e) of the Existing Lease shall be inapplicable and excluded in all respects for the purposes of such termination and Lessee shall (following such termination) have no further obligations to make additional payments pursuant to Sections 3.2(c)
and (e) of the Existing Lease. 
 2.2 Rent. 

(a) During the Initial Term, Lessee will pay to Lessor on the last Business Day of each Quarter the fixed payment set forth on
Schedule 1 for such Quarter (the “Initial Term Fixed Rent Payments”). The Initial Term Fixed Rent Payments shall be payable through the end of the Initial Term notwithstanding any termination of this Lease (and the obligation
to make all such Initial Term Fixed Rent Payments will be treated as having been incurred at the inception of the Initial Term), except for a termination pursuant to Section 3.1(e). In the event that this Lease is terminated pursuant to
Section 3.1(e) prior to the end of the Initial Term, no further Initial Term Fixed Rent Payments shall be due, though the Lessee will pay to the Lessor a pro-rated amount of the Initial Term Fixed Rent Payment due with respect to the Quarter in
which this Lease is terminated. 
 (b) During each Renewal Term, Lessee will pay to Lessor on the last Business Day of each
Quarter the fixed payment set forth on Schedule 1 for such Quarter (the “Renewal Term Fixed Rent Payments”). The Renewal Term Fixed Rent Payments shall be payable through the end of the applicable Renewal Term notwithstanding
any termination of this Lease (and the obligation to make all such Renewal Term Fixed Rent Payments will be treated as having been incurred at the inception of the Renewal Term), except for a termination pursuant to Section 3.1(e). In the event
that this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 3.1(e) prior to the end of the applicable Renewal Term, no further Renewal Term Fixed Rent Payments shall be due, though the Lessee will pay to the Lessor a pro-rated amount of the Renewal Term
Fixed Rent Payment due with respect to the Quarter in which this Lease is terminated. 
 During the Term and subject to receipt of satisfactory
redeterminations of qualified emissions reductions in accordance with the Refined Coal Guidance in effect at the time of such redetermination (it being understood that redeterminations are currently required to be performed on a semi-annual basis
and thus may not be required for each Quarter), Lessee will pay to Lessor 

  
 6 








 
quarterly on the Contingent Rent Payment Date for each Quarter the Contingent Rent Payment for such Quarter and provide Lessor the calculation of such Contingent Rent Payment. The
“Contingent Rent Payment” with respect to each Quarter shall equal *. If a Contingent Rent Payment for any Quarter is reduced on account of the limitation in Section 2.2(d), the reduced amount will be carried forward to
succeeding Quarters in the same Term, beginning with the next Quarter, and added to the Contingent Rent Payment (subject to the limitation in Section 2.2(d)) until the reduction has been offset by additional Contingent Rent Payments.

 (c) The Contingent Rent Payments shall be determined after taking into account any phase-out of such credits under
Section 45(b)(1) of the Code and any applicable inflation adjustment under Section 45(b)(2) of the Code as provided herein, but shall be determined without regard to limitations on Lessee’s use of the Section 45 Credits imposed
by Section 38(c) of the Code and without regard to whether Lessee actually utilizes such Section 45 Credits. In the event that any Contingent Rent Payment is due prior to the date that the IRS publishes the U.S. dollar amount of the
Applicable Section 45 Credits with respect to such calendar year, the U.S. dollar amount of the Applicable Section 45 Credits for the prior year shall be used until the IRS publishes the U.S. dollar amount of the Applicable Section 45
Credits for the current year. Once the IRS publishes this figure, the Lessee will adjust the next due Contingent Rent Payment to reflect any change that should be made to prior Contingent Rent Payments made during the current calendar year to take
the new published figure into account. Within 90 Days after the end of each calendar year during the Term, Lessee shall recalculate all Contingent Rent Payments that have been made with respect to such calendar year based upon (i) the
Section 45 Credit applicable to such calendar year, (ii) the actual amount of Refined Coal sales from the Facility in each Quarter of such calendar year and (iii) the actual Total Operating Expenses for each Quarter paid by Lessee in
such calendar year. Upon completion of such recalculation, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of such recalculation and provide Lessor a statement of such recalculation. Within 30 Days following such notice, Lessor or Lessee, as appropriate,
shall make an adjustment payment to the other Party to reflect such recalculation, though such other Party may raise a good faith dispute to the adjustment payment. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the aggregate Contingent Rent Payments during the Initial Term plus the contingent payments made pursuant to the Existing Lease shall not
exceed the present value, as of the effective date of the Existing Lease, calculated using * discount rate, of (A) the aggregate projected Initial Term Fixed Rent Payments for the Initial Term, plus (B) the aggregate fixed rental payments
(including all prepayment of rent) paid by Lessee pursuant to the Existing Lease and (ii) the aggregate Contingent Rent Payments during any Renewal Term shall not exceed the present value, as of the Effective Date, calculated using * discount
rate, of the aggregate projected Renewal Term Fixed Rent Payments for such Renewal Term. To the extent Lessee pays Lessor any Contingent Rent Payments in excess of the amounts set forth in this subsection in the Initial Term or any Renewal Term on a
cumulative basis since the Effective Date, Lessor shall reimburse Lessee within five Days after notice by Lessee of such excess payment. 
 (e) Lessee shall make the Fixed Rent Payments and the Contingent Rent Payments in immediately available funds to an account in the United States of America designated from time to time to Lessee in
writing by Lessor. The initial nominated account of Lessor is:

the incurrence of reasonable expense Lessee is unable to prevent or overcome, and that wholly or partly prevents the performance of any of the obligations of Lessee (other than the obligation to make payments then due or becoming due with respect to
performance prior to the event). Force Majeure includes the following events to the extent they present the characteristics described in the preceding sentence: acts of God or of the public enemy; interruptions in or failure of transportation of
coal or Refined Coal or other materials by third parties; fire, flood, explosion or other serious casualty; severe weather; war (whether declared or not); mobilization, revolution, riot, or civil commotion; legal intervention; regulation or order of
Governmental Authority; changes in Permit requirements that prevent the Parties from operating the Facility; inability to obtain any Permit notwithstanding commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Permit; strike; and lock-out or other labor
disputes. A lack or unavailability of money shall not constitute Force Majeure. 
 (c) Lessee shall initiate and continue
commercially reasonable good faith efforts to remedy the Force Majeure with all reasonable dispatch; provided, however, that the settlement of strikes, lockouts, or other labor disputes shall be totally within the discretion of Lessee.

 ARTICLE V

to the extent arising out of or caused by any breach of this Lease by Lessor. 
 5.2 Lessor’s Right to
Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnify the CCS Indemnified Parties in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Exchange Agreement from and against any and all Losses incurred by the CCS Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of

 5.3 Claims Procedures and Limitations. All claims for indemnification shall be
subject to the procedures and limitations set forth in the Exchange Agreement. 
 ARTICLE VI 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 6.1 Confidentiality. 
 (a) Each Party shall maintain the terms of this
Lease in confidence and shall not disclose any information concerning the terms, performance or administration of this Lease to any other Person; provided that a Party may disclose such information: (i) to any of such Party’s Group,
(ii) to any prospective member of such Party’s Group, (iii) to any actual or prospective purchaser of all or a portion of such Party’s interest in the Facility and (iv) to any Person providing or evaluating a proposal to
provide financing to the recipient Party or any direct or indirect owner of such Party; provided in each case that the recipient Party shall provide to each Person to which disclosure is made a copy of this Section 6.1 and direct such Person to
treat such information confidentially, and the recipient Party shall be liable for any breach of the terms of this Section 6.1 by such Persons to which it makes any such disclosure. The foregoing restrictions will not apply (A) to
information that is or becomes generally available to the public otherwise than as a result of disclosure by the recipient Party, (B) to information that is already in, or subsequently comes into, the recipient Party’s possession, provided
that the source of such information was not, to the recipient Party’s knowledge, obligated to keep such information confidential, (C) to information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Law or stock exchange rules and regulations
or is otherwise subject to legal, judicial, regulatory or self-regulatory requests for information or documents or (D) subject to Section 6.1(b) below, to the tax structure or tax treatment of the transaction. 

(b) Each Party may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the
transaction, provided, however, that any such information is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable securities laws. The tax structure and tax treatment of the transaction includes only those facts
that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal and state income tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction and, to eliminate any doubt, therefore specifically does not include information that either reveals or
standing alone or in the aggregate with other information so disclosed tends of itself to reveal or allow the recipient of the information to ascertain the identity of any parties involved in any of the transactions contemplated by this Lease or the
documents to be delivered in connection herewith. 
 (c) If any Party is required to disclose any information required by this
Section 6.1 to be maintained as confidential in a judicial, administrative or governmental proceeding, such Party shall give the other Party at least 10 Days’ prior written notice (unless less time is permitted by the applicable
proceeding) before disclosing any such information in any said proceeding and, in making such disclosure, the Party required to disclose the information shall disclose only that portion thereof required to be disclosed and shall cooperate with the
other Party in the other Party’s attempts to seek to preserve the confidentiality thereof, including if such Party seeks to obtain protective orders and/or any intervention.

 6.2 Tax Return Information and Tax Proceedings. The provisions of Section 4.4 of
the Exchange Agreement shall apply to this Lease. 
 6.3 Amendment, Modification and Waiver. This Lease may not be
amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties. Any failure of a Party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement, or condition contained herein may be waived only if set forth in an instrument in
writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other
failure. 
 6.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Lease is invalid, illegal, or incapable of
being enforced by any rule of applicable law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Lease shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein
are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Lease so as to
effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 

6.5 Expenses and Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, all costs and expenses incurred by the
Parties in connection with this Lease and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne solely and entirely by the Party which has incurred such expenses. 

6.6 Parties in Interest. This Lease shall be binding upon and, except as provided below, inure solely to the benefit of
each Party and its successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Lease, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person (other than the Lessee Indemnified Parties and CCS Indemnified Parties as provided in Article 5) any
rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Lease). 
 6.7 Notices. All notices and
other communications hereunder shall be in writing, unless otherwise specified, and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, by a nationally recognized overnight courier, by facsimile or electronic mail, or mailed by registered or certified

 6.8 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or
other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other
Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. 
 6.9 Entire Agreement. This Lease
(which term shall be deemed to include the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements, letters of intent and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no representations or warranties, agreements, or covenants other than those expressly set forth in this Lease. 
 6.10 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS LEASE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE
CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK IN THE STATE OF
NEW YORK WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LEASE AND CONSENT TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO A DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LEASE AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT THERETO. 
 6.11 Publicity. Lessor agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Lessee, in each instance, (a) use in advertising, publicity, or otherwise the name of GS, or any Affiliate
thereof (including Lessee), or any partner or employee of GS, or any Affiliate thereof (including Lessee), nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof owned by GS, or any
Affiliate thereof (including Lessee), or (b) represent, directly or indirectly, that any product or any service provided by Lessor has been approved or endorsed by GS, or any Affiliate thereof (including Lessee). No public announcement of any
kind regarding the existence or terms of this Lease shall be made without the prior written consent of the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.11 shall limit Lessor’s obligation to disclose information pursuant
to Section 6.1. 
 6.12 Assignment. Neither Party shall assign, sublease or otherwise transfer (collectively, an
“Assignment”) this Lease or any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any purported Assignment made without such prior written consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

 (a) either Party may, without the need for consent from the other Party, make an Assignment of this Lease to an Affiliate of
such Party provided that such Affiliate assumes all of the obligations of the Party making the Assignment and the Lessor Guarantees or the Lessee Guaranty remain in effect, as applicable, with respect to the obligations of such Affiliate, and in
such event the assigning Party shall be released from its obligations under this Lease, except for those obligations that arose prior to such Assignment; 

  
 16 









 (b) Lessee may, without the need for consent from Lessor, make an Assignment of this Lease
to any Person (i) succeeding to all or substantially all of its assets, provided such Person has, or its obligations under this Lease are guaranteed by a Person who has, an Investment Grade rating, or (ii) after the date that is ten
(10) years after the Effective Date if the Section 45 Credit for Refined Coal produced by the Facility has been extended beyond such date; and 
 (c) Lessor may, with the prior written consent of Lessee, make an Assignment of this Lease to any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of its assets provided that (i) the acquiring Person
assumes all obligations of Lessor hereunder, and (ii) either (A) the Lessor Guarantees remain in full force and effect with respect to the Person succeeding to all or substantially all of Lessor’s assets, or (B) the Lessor
Guarantees are replaced by a new guaranty or guarantees on the same terms as the Lessor Guarantees covering such assumed obligations from a Person having an Investment Grade rating, and in such event Lessor shall be released from its obligations
under this Lease, except for those obligations that arose prior to such Assignment. 
 6.13 Private Letter Ruling.
If Lessee or any of its Affiliates decides to pursue a request for a PLR, determination letter, Pre-Filing Agreement or other written guidance from the IRS (the “IRS Guidance”) with respect to any aspect of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or in relation to the New Facility, the Parties shall consider in good faith and make such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary to permit Lessee to obtain the IRS
Guidance. Neither Party shall be required to agree to any such amendment that it reasonably determines, in good faith, is adverse to such Party in any material respect; provided that Lessor shall not withhold its agreement to any such amendment if
Lessee has agreed to fully compensate Lessor for any adverse economic effect on Lessor resulting from such amendment and such amendment would not cause any material adverse effect on Lessor for which it cannot adequately be compensated by Lessee.

	B.	The insurance policies maintained pursuant hereto may be subject to such retentions and deductibles as are usual and customary for the risks involved under policies
with limits described above. 

  

	C.	Each insurance policy covering Lessor’s obligations under this Lease, or any other insurance in force for the personal property, fixtures or equipment of Lessor
used in connection with this Lease, shall provide for a waiver of subrogation by the insurer in favor of the Additional Insureds. Such insurance provided to Additional Insureds shall apply on a primary basis not as excess of or contributing with any
other insurance. 

  

	D.	 All insurance policies shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessee and shall be issued by an approved insurance company licensed and authorized
to do business in the state of operation, and rated in Bests Insurance Reports (or similar publication of comparable standing) as A-VIII or better (or the then equivalent of such rating) or as approved by Lessee. As soon as practicable upon
execution of this Lease and before commencing any performance hereunder, Lessor shall submit to Lessee certificates of insurance evidencing the existence of the insurance required hereunder. Certificates of renewal or replacement policies shall be

maintained by Lessor pursuant to the terms hereof. 

  

	E.	All primary and umbrella liability policies shall contain the following clause: 

 “Thirty days’ written notice of cancellation, material change deemed adverse to Lessee’s interest or nonrenewal shall be given to Lessee before any cancellation, material change or
nonrenewal of this policy will be effected, except ten days will apply for cancellation due to nonpayment of premium.” 
  

	F.	Lessor and its Representatives shall cooperate with Lessee in connection with the collection of any insurance monies that may be due Lessee in the event of loss, and
Lessor and its Representatives shall execute and deliver all such instruments that may be required for the purpose of obtaining the recovery of any such insurance monies. 


 

	G.	Lessor shall maintain the insurance described herein until expiration of the Term or termination of this Lease and the issuance of a final certificate of insurance.


  

	H.	The following provisions shall apply with respect to the insurance coverages required in this Lease: 


 

	 	1.	Lessor will not intentionally do, allow or permit anything to be done during the performance of Lessor’s obligations under this Lease that will affect, impair or
contravene any policies of insurance that may be carried on the Facilities, or any part thereof, or the use thereof, against loss, damage or destruction by fire, casualty, public liability, or otherwise. 


 

	 	2.	Compliance with any of the insurance requirements stipulated in this Lease will not in itself be construed to be limitation of liability of Lessor or its
representatives. 

  

	I.	In the event Lessor fails to effect, maintain or renew any of the insurance required hereunder in the required amounts, or to pay the premiums therefor, or to deliver
to Lessee any evidence of such insurance or payment therefor as required hereunder, then in any such events Lessee at its option, but without obligation so to do, may procure such insurance. Any sums expended by Lessee to procure any such insurance
shall be payable by Lessor on demand, together with interest at the interest rate thereon from the date such sums were expended; provided, however, it is expressly understood that procurement by Lessee of any such insurance shall not be deemed to
waive or release the default of Lessor, or the right of Lessee at its option, to exercise the remedies set forth in this Lease upon the occurrence of a default. Unless otherwise specified, Lessee shall not be responsible for obtaining or maintaining
any insurance required to be obtained or maintained by Lessor, and shall not, by reason of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining any such insurance, incur any liability for the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency thereof, the
solvency of any insurer or the payment of any losses, and Lessor hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and liability, if any, thereunder. 


  
 Exhibit B-2










	J.	In addition to the above, Lessor shall maintain all insurance and surety bonds for any other risks or hazard that now or hereafter are customarily insured against by
Lessor of like size and type in the locality of the site as Lessor deems appropriate. 

  

	K.	All claims-made liability coverages shall remain in full force and effect for three years after the end of the Term. All other liability coverages shall remain in full
force and effect until the end of the Term.
