 Section 2.01. The Advances. 

(a) The Tranche A Advances. Each Tranche A Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make a single
advance (a “Tranche A Advance”) to the Borrower on the Effective Date in a principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s Tranche A Commitment at such time and $35,000,000 in the aggregate for all Tranche A Advances. The
Tranche A Borrowing shall consist of Tranche A Advances made simultaneously by the Tranche A Lenders ratably according to their Tranche A Commitments. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. 

(b) The Delayed Draw Advances. Each Delayed Draw Term Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to
make advances (each, a “Delayed Draw  

  
 55 









 
Advance”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day (but not more frequently than monthly) during the Delayed Draw Term Commitment Period in a principal amount for
each such Delayed Draw Advance not to exceed such Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Commitment. Each Delayed Draw Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and shall consist of
Delayed Draw Advances made simultaneously by the Delayed Draw Lenders ratably according to their Delayed Draw Term Commitments at such time. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.01(b) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be
reborrowed. Subject to Sections 2.04(a) and 2.04(b), all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Delayed Draw Advances shall be paid in full no later than the Term Maturity Date. Each Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Commitment shall
expire on the Delayed Draw Term Commitment Termination Date. Each Delayed Draw Advance made by a Delayed Draw Lender hereunder shall reduce such Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Commitment on a dollar-for-dollar basis. 

(c) The Working Capital Advances. Each Working Capital Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to
make advances (each, a “Working Capital Advance”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Working Capital Commitment Period in a principal amount for each such Working Capital Advance not to exceed

the Aggregate Working Capital Commitments and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Working Capital Advances of any Working Capital Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Working Capital Commitment. Each Working Capital Borrowing
shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and shall consist of Working Capital Advances made simultaneously by the Working Capital Lenders ratably according to their Working Capital
Commitments. Within the limits of each Working Capital Lender’s Unused Working Capital Commitment in effect from time to time and subject to the aggregate limits specified above, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(c),
prepay pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or repay pursuant to Section 2.04(b) and reborrow under this Section 2.01(c). 

(d) LC Facility Advances. Each LC Facility Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make advances
(each, an “LC Facility Advance”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the LC Facility Commitment Period pursuant to Section 4.03(a) (and solely for purposes of reimbursement of such LC Facility
Lender’s (in its capacity as an LC Facility Issuing Bank) LC Facility Unreimbursed Amount Borrowings) in a principal amount for each such LC Facility Advance of such LC Facility Lender not to exceed such LC Facility Lender’s Unused LC
Facility Commitment at such time after giving effect to the application of such LC Facility Advance to reimburse such LC Facility Lender for LC Facility Unreimbursed Amount Borrowings; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the LC Facility Advances of any LC Facility Lender shall not exceed such LC Facility Lender’s LC Facility Commitment. Within the limits of each LC Facility Lender Lender’s Unused LC Facility Commitment in effect from
time to time and subject to the aggregate limits specified above, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(d), prepay pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or repay pursuant to Section 2.04(b) and reborrow under this
Section 2.01(d). 
 Section 2.02. Making the Advances. (a) Except as provided in Section 4.03 with respect
to LC Facility Borrowings, each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate
Advances, or the first Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Appropriate Lender prompt notice
thereof by telecopier or electronic communication. Each such notice of a Borrowing shall be in writing, or by telecopier, 

  
 56 









 
electronic communication or by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing,
(ii) Senior Secured Facility under which such Borrowing is to be made, (iii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iv) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (v) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate
Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance and (vi) the account into which the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be deposited (which shall be, in the case of Tranche A Advances and Delayed Draw Advances, except as expressly provided
in the funds flow memorandum provided pursuant to Section 6.01(m), the Construction Disbursement Account or the Debt Service Reserve Account) (each such notice, a “Funding Notice”). Each Appropriate Lender shall,
before 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available by wire transfer for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such
Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, in accordance with the respective Commitments under the applicable Senior Secured Facility of such Lender and the other Appropriate Lenders. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds
and upon fulfillment or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower as set forth in the Depositary Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

(b) Each Funding Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower from and after the third Business Day prior to the applicable
requested Eurodollar Rate Advance or the Business Day prior to the applicable requested Base Rate Advance, as applicable. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Funding Notice specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the
Borrower shall indemnify each Appropriate Lender against any actual and documented out-of-pocket loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date
specified in such Funding Notice for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI, including any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date (without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to
Section 12.03(c)). 
 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from an Appropriate Lender prior to the
date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the
Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the
extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for
each day from such date of Borrowing until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base
Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount
to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of such Borrowing until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Advances under the relevant Senior
Secured Facility. 
 (d) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other
Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
Nothing in this Section 2.02 shall prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against a Defaulting Lender. 

  
 57 









 Section 2.03. Repayment of Advances. (a) Term Facilities. (i) Prior
to the consummation of a Qualified MLP IPO, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amounts of the Term Advances in consecutive quarterly installments (each such payment,
an “Installment”) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter prior to the Maturity Date (commencing on September 30, 2014) (each such Business Day, an “Amortization Date”) in an aggregate
amount equal to the percentage set forth below (each such percentage, an “Installment Percentage”) times the aggregate principal amount of Tranche A Advances originally outstanding on the Effective Date or Delayed Draw
Advances originally outstanding on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, as applicable, (after giving effect to any applications of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.04 prior to such Amortization Date), with the
remaining balance of such Term Advances due on the Term Maturity Date.

 (ii) From and after the consummation of a Qualified MLP IPO, the Borrower shall repay to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amounts of the Term Advances in consecutive quarterly Installments on each Amortization Date in an aggregate amount equal to 1% per annum times the aggregate
principal amount of Tranche A Advances originally outstanding on the Effective Date or Delayed Draw Advances outstanding on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, as applicable, (after giving effect to any applications of
prepayments in accordance with Section 2.04 prior to such Amortization Date), with the remaining balance of such Term Advances due on the Term Maturity Date. 

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any New Term Advances are made, such New Term Advances shall be repaid on
each Amortization Date occurring on or after the applicable Increased Amount Date in the manner specified in the applicable Joinder Agreement. 

  
 58 









 (b) Working Capital Facility. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the
ratable account of the Working Capital Lenders on the Working Capital Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Working Capital Advances then outstanding. 

(c) LC Facility. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the LC Facility Lenders on the LC
Facility Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the LC Facility Advances and all LC Facility Unreimbursed Amount Borrowings then outstanding. 

Section 2.04. Prepayments. (a) Optional. (i) The Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day’s irrevocable written
notice in the case of Base Rate Advances and three Business Days’ irrevocable written notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each case in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D hereto (a “Prepayment
Notice”) to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment and, if such Prepayment Notice is given, the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the
Advances composing part of the same Borrowing, in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (1) each partial prepayment
shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (2) each prepayment shall be without premium or penalty, and (3) if any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance is made on a
date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 12.03(c). 

(ii) Each voluntary or optional prepayment of the Term Advances shall be applied pro rata to the Term Advances and, with
respect to each Term Facility, to the remaining scheduled amortization payments and the payments at final maturity as directed by the Borrower or, in the absence of such direction, on a pro rata basis to the remaining scheduled amortization payments
and the payments at final maturity. Each voluntary or optional prepayment of the Working Capital Advances shall be applied to prepay any Working Capital Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full. Each voluntary or optional
prepayment of the LC Facility Advances shall be applied first to prepay any LC Facility Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full; and second to Cash Collateralize LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations.
Considering each Senior Secured Facility being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Advances to the fullest extent thereof before any application to Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each case in a manner which
minimizes the amount of any payments to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 12.03(c). 
 (iii) Notice
required to be given under this Section 2.04(a) (A) must be given by 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date required and (B) may be given in writing or by telephone, provided, however, that if notice is given
by telephone, it must be promptly confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent in a Prepayment Notice (and the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice by telecopier or telephone to each Appropriate Lender).

financial statements pursuant to Sections 8.03(b) and (c), commencing with the financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2014, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent without duplication and for application in
accordance with Section 2.04(b)(viii), an aggregate amount equal to (x) 75.0% of the Excess Cash Flow for the applicable Fiscal Quarter minus (y) the amount of voluntary prepayments of Term Advances under
Section 2.04(a) during such Fiscal Quarter paid from Internally Generated Cash and (z) the amount of mandatory prepayments of Term Loans under 

  
 59 









 
this Section 2.04(b) during such Fiscal Quarter (other than subclause (i)(x) of this clause (b)) to the extent made from amounts that increased Net Income. No mandatory prepayments
shall be required from Excess Cash Flow following the consummation of a Qualified MLP IPO. 
 (ii) If no later than the fifth
Business Day following the date of receipt of any Asset Sale Proceeds by any of the Loan Parties (other than in respect of (A) any sale, transfer or other disposition permitted under Sections 8.02(e)(i) through (v), (vii) and
(viii) and (B) sales, leases or licenses out of other assets for aggregate consideration of less than $750,000 with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions and less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate during any Fiscal
Year), the Borrower shall not have delivered a Reinvestment Notice in respect thereof, then the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent without duplication and for application in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(viii), an aggregate
amount equal to the amount of such Asset Sale Proceeds; provided that, if the Borrower shall have delivered a Reinvestment Notice in respect of any Asset Sale Proceeds, then (1) the Loan Parties shall be permitted to use such Asset Sale
Proceeds to make a Permitted Investment to the extent that such Asset Sale Proceeds are applied by a Loan Party to such Permitted Investment within 12 months of such Asset Sale, and (2) to the extent that the conditions set forth in clause
(1) above are not satisfied, no later than the first Business Day following the failure by the Borrower to satisfy such conditions, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent without duplication and for application in accordance with
Section 2.04(b)(viii), an aggregate amount equal to the remaining amount (if any) of such Asset Sale Proceeds not otherwise applied pursuant to clause (1). 

(iii) Within one Business Day of the receipt of any Debt Proceeds by any of the Loan Parties the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent without duplication and for application in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(viii), an aggregate amount equal to such Debt Proceeds. 

(iv) (A) If, no later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt of any Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain
Proceeds by any of the Loan Parties, the Borrower shall not have delivered written notice of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower that the Borrower intends to deliver a Reinvestment Notice or Repair Notice pursuant to Section 8.01(x))
in respect thereof (other than Insurance Proceeds in respect of an Electrabel Termination Event, which shall, for the avoidance of doubt be applied within such five Business Day period in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(viii) as provided
in this paragraph), then the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent without duplication and for application in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(viii) an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent
Domain Proceeds, as applicable; provided that, if the Borrower shall have delivered any such notice in respect of any such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds, then the Loan Parties shall be permitted to apply such proceeds in
accordance with Section 8.01(x). 
 (B) If any such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds are determined
to be required to repay the Advances and other Obligations pursuant to Section 8.01(x), no later than the fifth Business Day following the date of such determination the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent without duplication
and for application in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(viii) an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds, as applicable. 

  
 60 









 (v) On the date of receipt of any Net Equity Proceeds by the MLP (or receipt by
any holder of Capital Stock of the MLP in the event that a Qualified MLP IPO or any portion thereof constitutes a secondary offering), the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent without duplication and for application in
accordance with Section 2.04(b)(viii), an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) 50.0% of such Net Equity Proceeds and (ii) an amount required to reduce the outstanding Advances as of such date such that, after giving
effect to such reduction, the ratio of (x) Total Debt as of such date to (y) projected EBITDA for the twelve-month period following such date shall not exceed 2.50:1.00, as certified in the certificate provided pursuant to
Section 2.06(b)(vii). For purposes of calculating projected EBITDA in clause (ii) above, such projections shall (A) be based on the projections contained in the effective registration statement filed with, and accepted
by, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (or any Governmental Authority succeeding to any of its principal functions) in accordance with the Securities Act in connection with such Qualified MLP IPO and (B) for the avoidance of doubt,
exclude any EBITDA attributable to any Sisterco. 
 (vi) The Borrower shall, no later than the fifth Business Day following
the earlier to occur of (1) the date on which all of the Development Projects shall have achieved Commercial Operations and (ii) the Date Certain, pay to the Administrative Agent without duplication and for application in accordance with
Section 2.04(b)(viii), an aggregate amount equal to the amount on deposit in the Construction Disbursement Account on such date, if any; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may retain in the Construction
Disbursement Account an amount equal to all Project Costs in respect of Contractual Obligations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Development of the Development Projects, that are, as of the date of such prepayment, subject to payment or
other dispute between the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and the counterparty to such Contractual Obligations and for which the Borrower shall have certified the foregoing in the certificate provided pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(vii). At
such time as such disputed Project Costs are no longer subject to dispute, any amounts remaining in the Construction Disbursement Account after paying all such Project Costs shall be applied as set forth in this Section 2.04(b)(vi). For
the avoidance of doubt, no amounts on deposit in the Construction Disbursement Account shall be used to pay legal fees and expenses in connection with any such dispute. 

(vii) Concurrently with each prepayment made pursuant to clause (b)(i), (b)(ii), (b)(iii),
(b)(iv), (b)(v) or (b)(vi) of this Section 2.04 the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower demonstrating the calculation of the relevant amount. In
the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Obligations and the Borrower shall
concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent in the amount of such excess a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess. 

(viii) Each prepayment made pursuant to clause (b)(i), (b)(ii), (b)(iii), (b)(iv),
(b)(v) or (b)(vi) of this Section 2.04 shall be applied ratably first pro rata to the Term Advances (and, with respect to each Term Facility applied pro rata to remaining scheduled amortization payments and the
payments at final maturity); second to permanently reduce the Delayed Draw Term Commitments (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such reduction of Delayed Draw Term Commitments shall not require an actual payment of funds by the Borrower);
third pro rata to prepay Working Capital Advances and LC Facility Advances then outstanding (without a permanent reduction in the Working Capital Commitments or LC Facility Commitments, unless in each case an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be 

  
 61 









 
continuing and the Required Lenders so elect) until such Advances are paid in full; fourth to prepay LC Letter of Credit Borrowings then outstanding (without a permanent reduction in the
LC Facility Commitments, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Required Lenders so elect); fifth to Cash Collateralize all other LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations; and sixth any amount
remaining after the payment of the amounts set forth in first through fifth in this Section 2.04(b)(viii) may be retained by the Borrower. 

(ix) All prepayments and deposits under this clause (b) shall be made without premium or penalty together with
(A) accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, and (B) any amounts owing pursuant to Section 12.03(c) (including any fees and breakage costs) and any termination or settlement
payments in respect of any Swap Agreement due and payable as a result of any such prepayment or deposit. Unless otherwise directed by the Borrower, all prepayments applied pursuant to clause (b)(viii) above shall be applied to any given Type
of Advances first, to Advances of such Type outstanding at the Base Rate and second, to Advances of such Type outstanding at the Eurodollar Rate. 

Section 2.05. Scheduled Interest. (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Type of Advance shall bear interest on the
unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows: 

(i) if a Base Rate Advance, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or 

(ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Advance, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Advance, and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate
Advance, shall be selected by the Borrower (subject to Section 2.06(b)) and notified to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any
day an Advance is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of
interest, then for that day such Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance. 
 (c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Advances there shall be no
more than eight Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event the Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Advance or a Eurodollar Rate Advance in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Advance (if
outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Advance) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Advance on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Advance (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Advance will remain as, or (if not then
outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Advance ). In the event the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advance in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final,
conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Advance for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or
by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender. 

  
 62 









 (d) Except as otherwise set forth herein, without duplication, interest on each Advance
(i) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any
prepayment of that Advance (other than for any Base Rate Advance, which shall be payable on the next Interest Payment Date), whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily
basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Advances, including final maturity of the Advances. 
 Section 2.06.
Conversion/Continuation of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon provision of an irrevocable Conversion/Continuation Notice (or irrevocable telephonic notice in lieu thereof, followed by the prompt delivery
of a Conversion/Continuation Notice) to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on (x) in the case of a Conversion to a Base Rate Advance, the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and
(y) in the case of a Conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion or continuation, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.04, Convert all or any
portion of the Advances of one Type composing the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type, or, upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Advance, to continue all or a portion of that amount as a Eurodollar
Rate Advance; provided, however, that (i) any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances unless the Borrower shall pay all amounts
due under Section 12.03(c) in connection with any such Conversion, (ii) any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess
of that amount, (iii) each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under any Senior Secured Facility shall be made ratably among the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their Commitments under such Senior Secured
Facility and (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Each Conversion/Continuation Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 

(b) Mandatory. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (x) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will
automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended. 

Section 2.07. Promissory Notes. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Borrower
agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence
(whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Tranche A Term Note, a
Delayed Draw Advance Note, a Working Capital Note and a LC Facility Advance Note, as applicable, in substantially the forms of Exhibits B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4, respectively, payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to the Tranche A
Advances, Delay Draw Commitments, the Working Capital Commitments, and the LC Facility Commitments respectively, of such Lender. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder. 

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.06(b) shall include a control account, and a
subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, 

  
 63 









 
the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it,
(iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each
Lender’s share thereof. 
 (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b)
above shall be conclusive evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the
Administrative Agent to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, which, in either case, shall be promptly corrected, in the Register shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

 Section 4.01. LC Facility Issuing Commitment. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each LC Facility Issuing Bank agrees (1) from time to time on any Business Day
during the period from the Effective Date until the LC Facility Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue LC Facility Letters of Credit for the account of any of the Borrower Group Parties, and to amend, renew or extend LC Facility Letters of
Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 4.01(b), and (2) to honor drawings under the LC Facility Letters of Credit; provided that no LC Facility Issuing Bank shall be obligated to make any Credit Extension
if, as of the date of such Credit Extension, (w) the Outstanding Amount of all LC Facility Letters of Credit of such LC Facility Issuing Lender would exceed the aggregate LC Facility Issuing Commitments of such LC Facility Issuing Lender or
(x) the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the LC Facility Advances of such LC Facility Issuing Lender in its capacity as LC Facility Lender, plus the Outstanding Amount of all LC Facility Letters of Credit of such LC
Facility Issuing Lender would exceed an amount equal to the LC Facility Commitment or LC Facility Issuing Commitment respectively of such LC Facility Lender or LC Facility Issuing Lender. Outstanding LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations of an LC
Facility Issuing Lender shall constitute utilization of the LC Facility Issuing Commitments of such LC Facility Issuing Lender and shall constitute utilization of the LC Facility Commitments of such LC Facility Issuing Lender in its capacity as an
LC Facility Lender. 
 (b) No LC Facility Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any LC Facility Letter of Credit if: 

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
such LC Facility Issuing Bank from issuing such LC Facility Letter of Credit, or laws applicable to such LC Facility Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction
over such LC Facility Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such LC Facility Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such 

  
 64 









 
LC Facility Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such LC Facility Issuing Bank with respect to such LC Facility Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement
(for which such LC Facility Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such LC Facility Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective
Date and which such LC Facility Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; 
 (ii) the issuance of such LC Facility
Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such LC Facility Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; 

(iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such LC Facility Issuing Bank, such LC Facility Letter of
Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $10,000; 
 (iv) such LC Facility Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a
currency other than Dollars; and 
 (v) such LC Facility Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement
of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder. 
 (c) No LC Facility Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to amend or extend any
LC Facility Letter of Credit if (A) such LC Facility Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the LC Facility Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such LC Facility Letter
of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment thereto. 
 (d) Each LC Facility Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (A) the date twelve months after the date of issuance of such LC Facility Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit, twelve months after the then current expiration date of such LC
Facility Letter of Credit) and (B) the LC Facility Letter of Credit Expiration Date. 
 Section 4.02. Procedures for Issuance
and Amendment of LC Facility Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. 
 (a) Each LC Facility Letter of Credit shall be issued
or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of an LC Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower and including agreed-upon draft language for such LC Facility Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank. Such LC Application must be received by the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank
and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as such LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion)
prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a LC Facility Letter of Credit, such LC Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the
applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested LC Facility Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day) and identity of the Lender that will act as the LC Facility Issuing Bank for such LC Facility
Letter of Credit; (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the
full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any
outstanding LC Facility Letter of Credit, such LC Application shall specify in form and detail 

  
 65 









 
reasonably satisfactory to the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank: (1) the LC Facility Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a
Business Day); and (3) the nature of the proposed amendment. Additionally, the Borrower and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors shall furnish to the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent such other documents and
information pertaining to such requested LC Facility Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any LC Documents, as such LC Facility Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. 

(b) From and after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall (i) select the LC Facility Issuing Bank with the lowest share of the aggregate
amount of LC Facility Advances (in its capacity as LC Facility Lender) and LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations issued and outstanding as of the date of such LC Application (the “Issuing Bank Exposure”), (ii) use
commercially reasonable efforts to select an LC Facility Issuing Bank at such time such that, after giving effect to the issuance of such LC Facility Letter of Credit, such LC Facility Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank Exposure relative to the
aggregate Issuing Bank Exposure of all LC Facility Issuing Banks at such time is proportionate to such LC Facility Issuing Bank’s LC Facility Issuing Commitment relative to the aggregate LC Facility Issuing Commitments of all LC Facility
Issuing Banks at such time and (iii) from and after the date that is 60 days after the Effective Date, select one or more LC Facility Issuing Banks at such time such that, after giving effect to the issuance of such LC Facility Letter of
Credit, to the extent practical, the LC Facility Issuing Bank with the greatest Issuing Bank Exposure does not have an Issuing Bank Exposure that is $2,500,000 greater than the Issuing Bank Exposure of any other LC Facility Issuing Bank at such
time. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt of any LC Application, the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative
Agent that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such LC Application from the Borrower and, if not, such LC Facility Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by such LC Facility Issuing Bank of
confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, such LC Facility Issuing Bank shall, on the requested
date, issue a LC Facility Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. 

(d) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable LC Application, the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, agree to issue a LC Facility Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit shall permit such LC
Facility Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such LC Facility Letter of Credit) by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the beneficiary thereof
(the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such LC Facility Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank, the Borrower
shall not be required to make a specific request to such LC Facility Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Such LC Facility Issuing Bank shall not (x) permit any such renewal if such LC Facility Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be
permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such LC Facility Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Sections 4.01(b) and 4.01(c) or otherwise) or (y) be
obligated to permit such renewal if it has received notice (which may be in writing or by telephone (if immediately confirmed in writing)) from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (or such LC Facility Issuing Bank has given notice to the
Administrative Agent) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 6.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such
LC Facility Issuing Bank not to permit such renewal. 

  
 66 









 (e) Promptly after its delivery of any LC Facility Letter of Credit or any amendment to a LC
Facility Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such LC Facility
Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 Section 4.03. Drawings and Reimbursement. 

(a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any LC Facility Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such LC Facility Letter of Credit,
the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, and such LC Facility Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under such LC Facility Letter of Credit. If such LC Facility Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of any payment by such LC Facility Issuing Bank under a LC Facility Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on
the date of such payment, the Borrower and/or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall reimburse such LC Facility Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on such date; provided that if such notice is not provided to the Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such payment date, then the Borrower and/or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall reimburse such LC Facility
Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in
respect of such LC Facility Letter of Credit. If the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor fails to so reimburse such LC Facility Issuing Bank by such time, such LC Facility Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of
such payment date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”). In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an LC Facility Borrowing of Base Rate Advances from such LC Facility Issuing
Bank in its capacity as LC Facility Lender to be disbursed on such payment date in an amount equal to such Unreimbursed Amount, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 (other than delivery of a Funding Notice). For
purposes of clarity, if any Unreimbursed Amount is funded with a Base Rate Advance in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the failure by the Borrower to reimburse such LC Facility Issuing Bank directly shall not be deemed to be a Default or an
Event of Default. Any notice given by a LC Facility Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (a) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such confirmation shall not
affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
 (b) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by
an LC Facility Borrowing of Base Rate Advances because the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank an LC
Facility Unreimbursed Amount Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which LC Facility Unreimbursed Amount Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate). 

(c) Each LC Facility Lender’s obligation to make LC Facility Advances pursuant to Section 4.03(a) is subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 6.02. No such funding of an LC Facility Advance or a LC Letter of Credit Borrowing shall relieve or otherwise impair the joint and several obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors to reimburse the
applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such LC Facility Issuing Bank under such LC Facility Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 

Section 4.04. Obligations Absolute. 

  
 67 









 (a) The joint and several obligation of the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors to reimburse the
applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank for each drawing under each LC Facility Letter of Credit and to repay each LC Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of any law, regulation or
order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any LC Facility Issuing Bank with respect thereto. Such obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under all circumstances, including
the following (but subject to the provisions set forth in Section 4.06 hereof): 
 (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of such LC Facility Letter of Credit or any term or provision thereof, any Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary
Guarantor may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such LC Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such LC Facility Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such LC Facility Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such LC Facility
Letter of Credit; 
 (iv) any payment by the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank under such LC Facility Letter of Credit
against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply strictly with the terms of such LC Facility Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank under such LC Facility Letter of Credit to any Person
purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such LC Facility Letter of Credit, including
arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; 
 (v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any
Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of such LC Facility Letter of
Credit; or 
 (vi) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or happening whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing, or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any LC Facility Issuing Bank that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors other than
full satisfaction of the obligation to reimburse the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank for each drawing under each LC Facility Letter of Credit and to repay each LC Letter of Credit Borrowing. 

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each LC Facility Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any
claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against any LC
Facility Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 

  
 68 









 Section 4.05. Role of LC Facility Issuing Bank. Subject to the other provisions of
this Section 4.06, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree that, in paying any drawing under a LC Facility Letter of Credit, the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other
than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such LC Facility Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any document.
None of the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such LC Facility Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (ii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any LC Facility Letter of Credit or LC Application. The Borrower and the
Subsidiary Guarantors hereby assume all risks of the acts of omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any LC Facility Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the
Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank, any Agent-Related Person nor any
of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such LC Facility Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 4.05; provided that, notwithstanding anything in such Section to the
contrary, the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors may have a claim against such LC Facility Issuing Bank, and such LC Facility Issuing Bank may be liable to the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any
direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary) damages suffered by the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final nonappealable judgment were caused by
(x) such LC Facility Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or (y) such LC Facility Issuing Bank’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any LC Facility Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by
the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a LC Facility Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank may accept
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such LC Facility Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency
of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a LC Facility Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any
reason. 
 Section 4.06. Conflict with LC Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the
terms of any LC Application, the terms hereof shall control. 
 Section 4.07. Reporting. At the request of the Administrative
Agent, not later than the third Business Day following the last day of each month (or at such other intervals as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree), each LC Facility Issuing Bank shall provide to the Administrative
Agent a schedule of the LC Facility Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each LC Facility Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face
amount (if any), the Nonrenewal Notice Date (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any LC Facility Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower
and/or the Subsidiary Guarantors to such LC Facility Issuing Bank during such month.

 ARTICLE V 

COMMON PROVISIONS TO SENIOR SECURED FACILITIES 

Section 5.01. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least three Business
Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent terminate in whole or reduce in part the Unused Working Capital Commitments, Unused Delayed Draw Term Commitments or Unused LC Facility Commitments;
provided, however, that (x) each partial reduction of a Senior Secured Facility (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) shall be made ratably among the
Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their Commitments with respect to such Senior Secured Facility and (y) in the case of any termination of the Delayed Draw Term Commitments, the Borrower shall certify at the time of such termination that
after giving effect to such termination it has sufficient Available Construction Funds available to cause the Commercial Operation and completion of construction of each of the Development Projects. The Borrower’s notice to the Administrative
Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the relevant Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the
Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the relevant Commitments of the Appropriate Lenders proportionately in accordance with each such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. 

(b) Mandatory Reductions. (i) Each Lenders’ Tranche A Commitment shall terminate and be permanently cancelled immediately
after giving effect to the Tranche A Advances made by such Lender on the Effective Date in accordance with Section 2.01(a). 

(ii) The LC Facility Issuing Commitments of each LC Facility Issuing Bank shall be permanently and ratably reduced from time to
time on the date of each reduction of the LC Facility Commitments held by such LC Facility Issuing Bank (in its capacity as an LC Facility Lender) pursuant to Section 5.01(a) by the amount, if any, by which the amount such LC Facility
Issuing Commitments exceed such LC Facility Commitments after giving effect to such reduction. 
 Section 5.02. Default
Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, on the amount of any principal, interest, fee or other amount (including any
Unreimbursed Amounts) payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender Party that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date
such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum at all times equal to (i) in the case of any Advances, 2% per annum above the rate that would otherwise be applicable to such Advance; (ii) in the case
of any other amounts, 2% per annum above the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances (such rate, the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this
Section 5.02 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender. 

Section 5.03. Fees. (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (i) for the account of the
Working Capital Lenders, a commitment fee from the Effective Date until the Working Capital Termination Date, payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to Base Rate Advances and on the Working Capital Termination Date
at the rate of 0.75% per annum on the sum of the average daily Unused Working Capital Commitment of such Working Capital Lender during such quarter, (ii) for the account of the Delayed Draw Term Lenders, a commitment fee 

  
 70 









 
from the Effective Date until the Delayed Draw Commitment Termination Date, payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to Base Rate Advances and on the Delayed Draw
Commitment Termination Date at the rate of 0.75% per annum on the sum of the average daily Unused Delayed Draw Term Commitment of such Delayed Draw Term Lender during such quarter and (iii) for the account of each LC Facility
Lender, a commitment fee from the Effective Date until the LC Facility Termination Date, payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to Base Rate Advances and on the LC Facility Termination Date at the rate of
0.75% per annum on the sum of the average daily Unused LC Facility Commitments of such LC Facility Lender during such quarter; provided, however, that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Commitments 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 on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
Promptly upon receipt of any commitment fee payable under this clause (a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Working Capital Lender, Delayed Draw Term Lender and LC Facility Lender its ratable portion thereof. 

(b) Agents’ Fees. The Borrower shall pay to each Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be separately agreed
between the Borrower and such Agent. 
 (c) LC Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
LC Facility Issuing Bank a letter of credit fee with respect to each outstanding LC Facility Letter of Credit issued by such LC Facility Issuing Bank (the “LC Fee”) which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the
Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances on the daily Available Amount of such LC Facility Letter of Credit, during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the LC Facility Letter of Credit Expiration Date
and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations. Accrued LC Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to Base Rate Advances occurring after the Effective Date
and on the LC Facility Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that any such fees accruing after such LC Facility Letter of Credit Expiration Date shall be payable on demand. 

(d) LC Facility Letter of Credit Issuance Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to each LC Facility Issuing Bank for its own account the
customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such LC Facility Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect, which fees, costs and charges shall be
payable to such LC Facility Issuing Bank within three Business Days after its demand therefor and are nonrefundable. 
 (e) Upfront
Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay on the Effective Date to each Lender party to this Agreement as a Lender on the Effective Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Advances and unfunded Delayed Draw Term Commitments, LC
Facility Commitments and Working Capital Revolving Commitments, a closing fee in an amount equal to 2.5% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Loans and unfunded Delayed Draw Term Commitments, LC Facility Commitments and Working
Capital Revolving Commitments (which shall include the face amount of any issued LC Facility Letters of Credit), payable to such Lender from the proceeds of its Loans as and when funded on the Effective Date. Such closing fee will be in all respects
fully earned, due and payable on the Effective Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter. 
 (f) Fee Computation. All
fees payable under this Section 5.03 shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of a fee hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 71 









 Section 5.04. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction
of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case introduced,
adopted or arising after the Effective Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining LC
Facility Letters of Credit (excluding, for purposes of this Section 5.04, any such increased costs resulting from Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes that are indemnifiable pursuant to Section 5.06, Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that (A) the Borrower shall not be responsible for costs under this
Section 5.04(a) incurred more than 120 days prior to receipt by the Borrower of the demand from the affected Lender Party pursuant to this Section 5.04(a), unless the requirement resulting in such increased costs became effective
during such 120-day period and retroactively applies to a date occurring prior to such 120-day period, in which case the Borrower shall be responsible for all such additional amounts described in this Section 5.04(a) from and after such date of
effectiveness and (B) a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 5.04 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable
Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such
Lender Party. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
(i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International
Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III are deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the
Effective Date, regardless of the date enacted or adopted. 
 (b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation
or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender
Party’s capital, then, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such
Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender
Party’s commitment to make Advances, or to issue LC Facility Letters of Credit hereunder, or to the issuance or maintenance of any LC Facility Letters of Credit; provided, however, that (A) the Borrower shall not be
responsible for costs under this Section 5.04(b) incurred more than 120 days prior to receipt by the Borrower of the demand from the affected Lender Party pursuant to this Section 5.04(b), unless the requirement
resulting in such increased costs became effective during such 120-day period and retroactively applies to a date occurring prior to such 120-day period, in which case the Borrower shall be responsible for all such additional amounts described in
this Section 5.04(b) from and after such date of effectiveness and (B) a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 5.04(b) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with internal policy and legal and
regulatory restrictions) to designate a 

  
 72 









 
different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or
directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III are
deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the Effective Date, regardless of the date enacted or adopted. 
 (c) If, with respect to
any Eurodollar Rate Advances, Appropriate Lenders owed at least a majority of the then aggregate unpaid principal amount thereof notify the Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not
adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders, whereupon
(i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances
into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation after the Effective Date shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar
Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance under each Senior
Secured Facility under which such Lender has a Commitment will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be
suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender
agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending
Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances, to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances, and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 

Section 5.05. Payments and Computations. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Borrower shall make each
payment hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s
Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day unless the Administrative Agent otherwise elects in its sole discretion. The
Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and (ii) if


  
 73 









 
such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be
applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 12.06(b), from and after the effective date of
such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance
shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. 
 (b) The
Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party and each of its Affiliates, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender Party is not made when due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender Party or such Affiliate any amount so due. 
 (c) All
payments in respect of the principal amount of any Advance (other than voluntary prepayments of Working Capital Advances) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments
(and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Advance on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Advance) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal. 

(d) All computations of interest based on the Prime Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or
366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest on other amounts based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate and of fees and LC Facility Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the
Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; provided that if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one
day’s interest shall be paid on such Advance) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (e) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be stated
to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, commitment or letter of credit fee or
commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the
next preceding Business Day. 
 (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which
any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. 

(g) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan
Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances or the Senior Secured Facility to which, or the manner in which, 

  
 74 









 
such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lender Parties in accordance with such Lender Party’s
pro rata share of the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances outstanding at such time and (ii) the aggregate amount of all LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of
such of the outstanding Advances or other Obligations then owing to such Lender Party, and, in the case of the Tranche A Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Facility, for application to Installments thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall direct.

 (h) The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement that is not made in same day
funds prior to 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds and
(ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each Appropriate Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment that is not
deemed received on or prior to becoming due may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 9.01(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment
is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such
amount is paid in full. 
 (i) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived and the maturity of the Advances
shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 9.01, all payments or proceeds received by the Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Advances or other Obligations of the Borrower, shall be applied in accordance with the applicable
arrangements described in Section 7.2 of the Security Agreement. 
 Section 5.06. Taxes. (a) Except as required by
law, any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Recipient hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 5.05 or the applicable provisions of such other Loan Document, if any, free
and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes. If any Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Recipient,
(i) the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 5.06) such Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall make all
such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) In addition, each Loan Party shall timely pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, Property, intangible, mortgage recording
or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, performance under, receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment, other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 5.08 (hereinafter referred to as
“Other Taxes”) or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of any Other Taxes. 

(c) Without duplication of Section 5.06(a), the Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient for and hold them harmless against the
full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes 

  
 75 









 
including, for the avoidance of doubt, the full amount of Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5.06, imposed on or paid by
such Recipient and any liability (including 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 Governmental Authority;
provided however, the Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify a Recipient pursuant to this Section 5.06(c) for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes unless such Recipient makes written demand on the Loan Parties for
indemnification no later than 365 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon such recipient for payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, and (ii) the date on which
such Recipient has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (except that, if the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the 365-day period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender Party or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of
such indemnification requested shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only
to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to
comply with the provisions of Section 12.06(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in
connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. 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 any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (c). 

(d) Within 30 days after a Loan Party pays any Taxes pursuant to Section 5.06(a)(iii), the appropriate Loan Party shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 12.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment
thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled
to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if
reasonably 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of
such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.06(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such
Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

  
 76 









 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person 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 reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) 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
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
  

	 	(i)	in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form
W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 


 

	 	(ii)	executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

  

	 	(iii)	in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U-1 to
the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the
Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or


  

	 	(iv)	 to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a
U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U-2 or Exhibit U-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the




  
 77 










	 	
Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 


(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) 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 reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA
if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Recipient 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 Internal Revenue 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
obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (f) Any Lender Party claiming any
additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.06 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office, in the
judgment of such Lender Party, such a change (i) would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and (ii) would not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. The Borrower
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender Party in connection with any such change. 
 (g) If any Agent or any
Lender Party determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid
additional amounts pursuant this Section 5.06, it shall pay over such refund to the Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Party under this Section 5.06 with
respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Agent or such Lender Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Loan Party, upon the 

  
 78 









 
request of such Agent or such Lender Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest, or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Agent or Lender Party in the event the Agent or the Lender Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any Agent
or Lender Party be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place the Agent or the Lender Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Agent or the Lender Party would have been in
if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not
be construed to require any Agent or Lender Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to a Loan Party or any other Person. 

(h) Barclays Bank PLC, as the Administrative Agent, and any successor or supplemental Administrative Agent that is not a U.S. Person, in each
case so long as acting through a U.S. branch, shall deliver to the Borrower (on or prior to the Effective Date with respect to Barclays Bank PLC and upon or prior to the effectiveness of any assignment pursuant to Section 10.07 with
respect to any other Administrative Agent) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, which shall meet the requirements of a “U.S. branch certificate” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.1441-1(e)(3)(v), with
the effect that the Borrower can make payments to the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any taxes imposed by the United States. 

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 5.06, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 

Section 5.07. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,
through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 12.06) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to
all Lender Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lender
Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the
amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on
account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other
Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to
the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender
Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered
from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Loan Parties agree that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating
interest from another 

  
 79 









 
Lender Party pursuant to this Section 5.07 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Loan Parties in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be. 

Section 5.08. Replacement of Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that:
(a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender Party is an Affected Lender or that such Lender Party is entitled to receive payments under Section 5.04
or Section 5.06, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such
notice within three Business Days after the Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; (b) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with
respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 12.05(b), the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the consent of the
Supermajority Required Lenders shall have been obtained) but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required shall not have been obtained (or, if only such Lender must approve such proposal, then such Lender’s consent
shall not have been obtained) (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”); then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower
may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Advances and its
Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.06 and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable hereunder in
connection with any such assignment from an Increased Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender and the Defaulting Lender shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from such Defaulting Lender; provided
that, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to such Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, all outstanding Advances of
such Terminated Lender and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 5.03; (2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable
to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 12.03(c), 5.04 or 5.06; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment; and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall
consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; provided, the Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also a LC Facility
Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, the Borrower shall have caused each outstanding LC Facility Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled or assumed by a replacement LC Facility Issuing Bank. Upon the prepayment
of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such
Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. 
 Section 5.09. Use of Proceeds.
(a) The proceeds of the Tranche A Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely to (i) pay fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the Transaction; (ii) fund the Debt Service
Reserve Requirement (except to the extent satisfied through the issuance of a LC Facility Letter of Credit); (iii) fund the Construction Disbursement Account; and (iv) repay the Chesapeake Seller Note. 

(b) The proceeds of the Delayed Draw Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely to
(i) fund the Debt Service Reserve Requirement (except to the extent satisfied pursuant to Section 5.09(a) or (c) or through the issuance of a LC Facility Letter of Credit) and (ii) fund the Construction Disbursement
Account. 

  
 80 









 (c) The proceeds of the Working Capital Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that
it shall use such proceeds) solely (i) to fund the Debt Service Reserve Requirement (except to the extent satisfied pursuant to Section 5.09(a) or (b) or through the issuance of a LC Facility Letter of Credit),
(ii) to provide for the ongoing working capital requirements of any Borrower Group Party and for Borrower Group Parties’ other general corporate purposes (including to cash collateralize letters of credit permitted pursuant to
Section 8.02(b)(xiv)) and (iii) prior to Commercial Operations of all of the Development Projects, $10,000,000 of Working Capital Commitments (and corresponding Working Capital Advances) less Working Capital Advances previously made
in respect of this subclause (iii) shall be reserved for, and shall be available solely for, Project Costs consisting of cost overruns after utilization of all Term Advances and all Equity Contributions but shall not, except as provided in this
subclause (iii), be applied to fund Project Costs or to fund any other Capital Expenditure for any Facility. 
 (d) The LC Facility
and the LC Facility Letters of Credit shall be available to provide credit support in respect of the working capital needs of any Borrower Group Party and other general corporate purposes (including the funding of the Debt Service Reserve Account)
but shall not be applied to fund Project Costs or to fund any other Capital Expenditure for any Facility. 
 (e) The proceeds of any New
Term Loan Commitments shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely to consummate Permitted Acquisitions. 

Section 5.10. Incremental Facilities. 

(a) At any time after the later to occur of (i) the date of delivery of the annual financial statements for the Fiscal Year of the
Borrower ending December 31, 2013 pursuant to Section 8.03(c) and the Compliance Certificate therefor pursuant to Section 8.03(d) and (ii) the consummation of a Qualified MLP IPO, the Borrower may, by written notice
to the Administrative Agent, request that either (A) prior to the Working Capital Commitment Termination Date, the total Working Capital Commitments be increased (any such increase, the “New Working Capital Commitment”)
or (B) prior to the Maturity Date, the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (each, a “New Term Loan Commitment”), in each case, by an aggregate amount not to exceed the then existing Incremental
Facility Amount at such time. Such notice shall set forth (A) the amount of the requested New Working Capital Commitments and/or New Term Loan Commitments (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or
the amount equal to the then remaining Incremental Facility Amount), (B) the date on which such New Working Capital Commitments and/or New Term Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days
nor more than 45 days after the date of such notice), and (C) shall offer each Working Capital Lender the opportunity to provide New Working Capital Commitment by its applicable Pro Rata Share of the proposed New Working Capital Commitment
and/or offer each Lender the opportunity to provide any of the New Term Loan Commitments. Each such Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 15 days after the date of the Administrative
Agent’s notice, either agree to provide New Working Capital Commitments and/or New Term Loan Commitments by all or a portion of the offered amount (each Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Lender”) or decline to
provide New Working Capital Commitments and/or New Term Loan Commitments (and any Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 15 days shall be deemed to have declined to provide New Working Capital Commitments and New Term
Loan Commitments) (each Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a “Non-Increasing Lender”). In the event that, on the 15th day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a
notice pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph, there shall not be Increasing Lenders who have agreed to provide New Working Capital 

  
 81 









 
Commitments and/or New Term Loan Commitments by an aggregate amount sufficient to accommodate the request by the Borrower, then the Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities
(any such bank or other entity being called an “Augmenting Lender”), which may include any Lender, to provide New Working Capital Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed
amount; provided, however, that each Augmenting Lender (who is not then a current Lender) shall be an Eligible Assignee and shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (to the extent New Working Capital
Commitments are being provided) (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation
(including a Joinder Agreement) as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its New Working Capital Commitment, New Term Loan Commitment and/or its status as a Lender hereunder (as applicable) and shall share pro rata in
the Collateral as a Secured Party. Any such New Working Capital Commitments and/or New Term Loan Commitments may be made in an amount that is less than the request by the Borrower if the Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange
for, Augmenting Lenders. Any Increasing Lender or Augmenting Lender that receives a portion of the New Working Capital Commitment or New Term Loan Commitment (as applicable) in accordance with this Section 5.10 shall be bound by and
entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its share of the New Working Capital Commitment or New Term Loan Commitment (as applicable). For avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be deemed to require any Lender
to increase the amount of its Commitments. 
 (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and
all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any New Working Capital Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 5.10, the outstanding Working Capital Advances (if any) are held
by the Working Capital Lenders in accordance with their new applicable Pro Rata Share. This may be accomplished at the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Borrower, by causing Non-Increasing Lenders to
assign portions of their outstanding Working Capital Advances to Increasing Lenders and/or Augmenting Lenders. Any prepayment or assignment described in this clause (b) shall be subject to Section 12.03(c), but shall
otherwise be without premium or penalty. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no New Working Capital Commitments or New Term Loan
Commitments shall become effective under this Section 5.10 unless (i) on the date of the Borrower’s request to provide New Working Capital Commitments and/or New Term Loan Commitments, all Delayed Draw Term Commitments shall
have been utilized or expired, (ii) the proceeds of any New Term Loan Commitments shall be used in accordance with Section 5.09(e), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer
certifying and showing (in reasonable detail and with appropriate calculations and computations in all respects reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) that (A) the conditions set forth in this Section 5.10(c) have been
satisfied and (B) the Borrower would be in compliance with the Financial Covenants as of the most recently completed Measurement Period ending prior to the incurrence of such Debt for which the financial statements and certificates required by
Section 8.03(b) or 8.03(c) were required to be delivered, after giving pro forma effect to such New Working Capital Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable (assuming that any such Commitments are fully
drawn) and to any other event occurring after such Measurement Period as to which pro forma recalculation pursuant to Section 8.04(d) is appropriate as if such transactions had occurred as of the first day of such Measurement
Period, (iv) the pro forma Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter shall not exceed 2.50:1.00 after giving effect to such New Working Capital Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable
(assuming that any such Commitments are fully drawn) and calculated pursuant to Section 8.04(d), (v) the pro forma Contracted Coverage Ratio as of the date of extension of any such New Working Capital Commitments and/or New
Term Loan Commitments, as applicable (the 

  
 82 









 
“Increased Amount Date”) shall not be less than 1.75:1.00 after giving effect to such New Working Capital Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable (assuming
that any such Commitments are fully drawn), (vi) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such New Working Capital Commitments and/or New Term Loan Commitments to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders shall have been
paid (in each case, to the extent the Borrower is responsible for such fees and expenses pursuant to Section 12.02), (vii) the terms and provisions of the New Working Capital Commitments (and any Advances made with respect thereto)
shall be identical to the terms and provisions of the Working Capital Commitments (and the Advances made with respect thereto) and, subject to clause (viii) below, the terms and provisions of the New Term Loan Commitments (and any Advances made
with respect thereto) shall be identical in all material respects to the terms and provisions of the Tranche A Commitment (other than with respect to the requirement to obtain interest rate hedging under Section 8.01(n)), (viii) to the
extent that the proposed yield on any New Term Loan Commitment (taking into account any upfront fees, commitment fees, original issue discount or any other similar component of the interest or yield applicable to such New Term Loan Commitments)
exceeds the yield in respect of the Tranche A Facility by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin of each of the existing Term Facilities shall be increased to the extent required so that the yield on the existing Term Facilities is 0.50% less
(assuming that the Commitments are fully drawn) than the yield with respect to the New Term Loan Commitments; provided that the comparative determinations of yield are to be made by the Administrative Agent consistent with generally accepted
financial practices, after giving effect to, among other factors, margin, interest rate floors, upfront or similar fee or “original issue discount” shared with all Lenders, including the effect of any amendments to the Applicable Margin on
the existing Term Facilities that became effective subsequent to the Effective Date but prior to the Increased Amount Date but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are
not shared with all Lenders, (ix) both before and after giving effect to such New Working Capital Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments or the making of any Series of New Term Loans, each of the conditions set forth in
Section 6.02 shall be satisfied and (x) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Any New
Working Capital Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments extended pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, each Increasing Lender, each Augmenting
Lender and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register. Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary
or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of this Section 5.10, including any amendments necessary to implement the New Working Capital Commitments and/or New Term Loan Commitments. Each of the
parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Joinder Agreement delivered pursuant to this Section 5.10, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed amended to the extent contemplated by the Joinder
Agreement in order to reflect the existence of the increased Working Capital Commitments. For purposes of determining compliance with the Contracted Coverage Ratio in clause (v), above, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to engage an
independent advisor reasonably acceptable to the Borrower to review and verify the Projected Revenues and O&M Costs included in the calculation of Projected Contracted CFADS. 

Section 5.11. Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and without prejudicing any other rights or claims
that the Borrower, any Agent or any other Lender may have against a Defaulting Lender, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 

  
 83 









 (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve
or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.05 unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.04 shall be applied at
such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as
no Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to
the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and, sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the
principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advance was made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 were satisfied or waived,
such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all the Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or
payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each
Lender irrevocably consents thereto. 
 (iii) Commitment. Each Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any
commitment fees payable under Section 5.03(a) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such
Defaulting Lender). 
 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any
Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders to cause the Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable
Senior Secured Facility), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was
a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party
hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

  
 84 









 Section 5.12. Cash Collateral. 

(a) Obligation to Cash Collateralize. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank if, as of
the LC Facility Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, or as otherwise required pursuant to Section 9.01, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash
Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all LC Facility Letters of Credit in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. 

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be
maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing Deposit Accounts at the Administrative Agent. The Borrower and, to the extent provided by any Working Capital Lender, such Working Capital Lender, hereby grants to (and subject to the control of) the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the applicable LC Facility Issuing Banks and the applicable Working Capital Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral, Deposit
Accounts and all balances therein, and all other Property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and all proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to
Section 5.12(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash
Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount or, if applicable, the other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the
Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. 
 (c) Application.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Cash Collateral provided under this Section or Section 5.11 or Section 9.01 or otherwise in respect of LC Facility Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the
specific LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such Property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 

(d) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any obligations hereunder shall
be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance
with Section 12.06(i)), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower shall not be released during
the continuance of a Default under Section 9.01(a) or (f) or an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 5.12, may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 7.2 of the
Security Agreement).

it, maintain each such Material Contract to which it is a party in full force and effect, use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce each such Material Contract in accordance with its material terms except, in each case, where the failure to

Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary to take such action (consistent with any fiduciary duties that such Borrower Group Party has to the other owner(s) of such Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary). For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower Group Parties shall not be

Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the relevant Borrower Group Party therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Borrower Group Party’s Investment therein.

(b), if the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of either covenant set forth in Section 8.04(a) or (b) (the “Financial Covenants”), then, prior to the consummation of a Qualified MLP
IPO, until the 10th day after delivery of the related certificate pursuant to Section 8.03(b) or (c), the Borrower shall have the right to issue Capital Stock to Holdings for Cash or otherwise receive Cash capital contributions
from Holdings in an aggregate amount equal to the amount that, if added to EBITDA for the relevant Measurement Period, would have been sufficient to cause compliance with the Financial Covenants for such Measurement Period (an “Equity
Cure”). 
 (ii) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (the “Cure
Notice”) of an Equity Cure on or before the day the Equity Cure is consummated. The Borrower shall not be entitled to exercise the Equity Cure more than two times within any consecutive four Fiscal Quarters or more than three times in
total. 
 (iii) Upon the delivery by the Borrower of a Cure Notice, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to exist
pursuant to the Financial Covenants (and any such Default or Event of Default shall be retroactively considered not to have existed or occurred). If the Equity Cure is not consummated within 10 days after delivery of the related certificate
pursuant to Section 8.03(b) or (c), each such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed reinstated. 

(iv) The Cash amount received by the Borrower pursuant to exercise of the right to make an Equity Cure shall be added to EBITDA
for the last Fiscal Quarter of the immediately preceding Measurement Period solely for purposes of recalculating compliance with the Financial Covenants for such Measurement Period and of calculating the Financial Covenants as of the end of the next
three following Measurement Periods; the Equity Cure shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the Financial Covenants in order to determine pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenants for purposes of the incurrence of
any Debt, for determining compliance with any other covenant hereunder or under the Loan Documents and may not be used to make a Restricted Payment, any Permitted Acquisition or for any other purpose. To the extent that the proceeds of an Equity
Cure are used to repay debt, such debt shall not be deemed to have been repaid for purposes of calculating any Financial Covenants. For the avoidance of doubt, an Equity Cure shall be deemed to be made on the last business day of the relevant
Measurement Period even if such Equity Cure is made after such date. 
 (d) Certain Calculations. With respect to any period during
which (x) a Permitted Acquisition, an Asset Sale or a Qualified MLP IPO has occurred, (y) a subsidiary has been designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 8.01(u) or (z) the Borrower incurs New Working
Capital Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 5.10 (each, a “Subject Transaction”), for purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenants set forth in this
Section 8.04 and the Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 5.10 (including, without limitation, for 

  
 126 









 
determining pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenants or for determining compliance with any other covenants hereunder and for all purposes that pro forma compliance with
the Financial Covenants may be required), EBITDA and the components of Interest Expense shall be calculated with respect to such period on a pro forma basis (including pro forma adjustments arising out of events which are directly
attributable to a specific transaction, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact, in each case determined on a basis consistent with Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act and as
interpreted by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which would include cost savings resulting from head count reduction, closure of facilities and similar restructuring charges, which pro forma adjustments shall be certified
by a Financial Officer of the Borrower) using the historical audited financial statements of any business so acquired or to be acquired or sold or to be sold or designated or to be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and the consolidated
financial statements of the Loan Parties which shall be reformulated as if such Subject Transaction, and any Debt incurred or repaid in connection therewith, had been consummated or incurred or repaid at the beginning of such period (and assuming
that such Debt bears interest during any portion of the applicable measurement period prior to the relevant acquisition at the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to outstanding Advances incurred during such period).

for the counterparty under such Material Contract within the 90-day cure period referred to above or (2) the counterparty under such Material Contract has performed all of its material obligations under such Material Contract; or

consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances and of the LC Facility Issuing Banks to issue LC Facility Letters of Credit to be
terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower and (iii) shall, at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, direct the Collateral Agent to exercise all rights and remedies available by law and in equity,
including all rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents; provided, however, that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 9.01(f) and relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor,
(x) the Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances and of the LC Facility Issuing Banks to issue LC Facility Letters of Credit shall automatically be terminated and (y) the Advances, all such
interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. 

The Required Lenders by written notice to the Administrative Agent may, subject to Section 12.05, on behalf of the Lenders waive
an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder. Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of
this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right 

  
 130 









 
consequent thereon. The Required Lenders, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may on behalf of all of the Lenders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Loan Documents. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by
or through its agents or employees. No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender Party; and nothing herein or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is

directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lender Parties for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or
any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from the Required Lenders or
Supermajority Required Lenders (or such other Lender Parties as may be required to give such instructions under Section 12.05) and, upon receipt of such instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other Lender Parties, as the case
may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled
to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for a Loan Party and its subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender Party shall
have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such
other Lender Parties as may be required to give such instructions under Section 12.05). 
 (c) Delegation of Duties. The
Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 10.03 and of
Section 10.06 shall apply to any of the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as
Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 10.03 and of Section 10.06 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates
of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative
Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and
benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other
Person, against any or all of the Loan Parties and the Lender Parties, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such
sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to Administrative Agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender Party or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender Party or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or
indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent other than liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such sub-agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. 

Section 10.04. Agents Entitled to Act as Lender Party. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the
rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender Party hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Advances, 

  
 132 









 
each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and
the term, “Lender Party” and “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of,
and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with a Loan Party or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the
Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lender Parties. 

Section 10.05. Lender Parties’ Acknowledgment. (a) No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or
on a continuing basis, to (i) make, on behalf of Lender Parties, any investigation of the financial condition or affairs of any Loan Party or its subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder; (ii) make, on behalf of Lender
Parties, any appraisal of the creditworthiness of any Loan Party or its subsidiaries; or (iii) provide any Lender Party with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the
Advances or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lender Parties. 

(b) Each Lender Party, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, an Assignment and Acceptance or a Joinder Agreement and funding an
Advance on the Effective Date or thereafter, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Required Lenders or Lender Parties, as
applicable on the Effective Date or thereafter. 
 Section 10.06. Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata
Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and the Depositary, to the extent that such Agent or the Depositary, as the case may be, shall not have been reimbursed by any Loan Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or the Depositary, as the
case may be, in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent or the Depositary, as the case may be, in any way relating to or arising out
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Indemnified Liabilities of the Agent or the Depositary, as the case may be; provided, no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s or the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent or the Depositary, as the case may be, for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent or the Depositary, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent or
the Depositary, as the case may be, may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to
indemnify any Agent or the Depositary, as the case may be, against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided,
further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent or the Depositary, as the case may be, against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement
described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. 
 Section 10.07. Successor Agents. Subject to the appointment
and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the other Agents, the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a 

  
 133 









 
successor with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by the Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders with, so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York and an office in London, England (or a
bank having an Affiliate with such an office) having a combined capital and surplus that is not less than $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After such Agent’s resignation hereunder, the
provisions of this Article X and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent. 

Section 10.08. Collateral Documents and Guaranty. (a) Agents under Collateral Documents and Guaranty. Each Lender
Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Lender Parties with respect to the Guaranty, the
Collateral and the Collateral Documents. Subject to Section 12.05, without further written consent or authorization from the Lender Parties, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or
instruments necessary to (i) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, or, in the case of MLP Holdco and GP, upon the consummation of the Permitted MLP Contribution or a Qualified MLP IPO, release any
Guaranty of MLP Holdco or GP permitted to be released hereby or any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets, or are required to be released in connection with the consummation of the
Permitted MLP Contribution or a Qualified MLP IPO or to which Required Lenders (or such other Lender Parties as may be required to give such consent under Section 12.05) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Subsidiary Guarantor
from the Guaranty or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lender Parties as may be required to give such consent under Section 12.05) have otherwise consented. 

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender Party hereby agree that (i) no Lender Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it
being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lender Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral
Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender
Party may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender Party or Lender Parties in its or
their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at
any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. 

Section 10.09. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment
to any Lender Party an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 5.06, each Lender Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make
payment to the 

  
 134 









 
Administrative Agent in respect thereof within 15 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and 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 Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Taxes
from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender Party for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender Party failed to notify the Administrative
Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of applicable withholding Taxes ineffective) or in the event the Administrative Agent has paid over to the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority
applicable withholding tax relating to a payment to a Lender Party but no deduction has been made from such payment. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender Party by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts owing to such Lender under the Loan Documents against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this
Section 10.09. The agreements in this Section 10.09 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender Party, and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other Obligations. This Section 10.09 shall not impose any additional responsibility on the Loan Parties. 
 ARTICLE
XI 
 GUARANTY 

Section 11.01. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally,
hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party
now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents, Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements (including any extensions, modifications, substitutions,
amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such
Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in
enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreement, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the liability
of each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, Secured
Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding
involving such other Loan Party. 
 (b) Each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the
Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer
or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of
each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and each of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors


  
 135 









 
hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the
Obligations of Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 (c) Each
of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor,
as applicable, will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to Holdings or each other Subsidiary Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents, Secured
Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements. 
 Section 11.02.
Guaranty Absolute. Each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured
Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The
Obligations of each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, Secured
Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce this
Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of
collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety. The liability of each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional
irrespective of, and each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses (other than a defense of payment in full) it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreement, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreement or
Secured Cash Management Agreement or any term or provision thereof or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
 (b) any change
in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements,
Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Documents, Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or
Secured Cash Management Agreements, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise; 

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver
of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (d) any manner of application of
Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements or any other Property of any Loan Party; 

  
 136 









 (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan
Party; 
 (f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial
or otherwise), operations, performance, Properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such
information); 
 (g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any Guaranty Supplement or any other guaranty or
agreement or the release or reduction of liability of Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or 

(h) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations), whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, or any existence of or
reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

Section 11.03. Waivers and Acknowledgments. 

(a) Each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance,
presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty except as expressly provided herein and any
requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any Property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral. 

(b) Each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty (except in
connection with a sale or other disposition permitted by Section 8.02(e) and in the case of MLP Holdco and GP, following the consummation of a Qualified MLP IPO (but only if MLP Holdco or GP, as applicable, is not the MLP, an
Intermediate Holdco, the Borrower General Partner or the Borrower Limited Partner)) and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 

(c) Each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any
claim or defense (other than the defense of payment in full) based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution or indemnification rights of Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, or other rights of Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties,


  
 137 









 
any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense (other than the defense of payment in full) based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect
of the Obligations of Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor, applicable, hereunder. 
 (d) Each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor
acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may, without notice to or demand upon Holding or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, and without affecting the liability of Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, under this Guaranty,
foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any defense (other than the defense of payment in full) to the recovery by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties against
Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law. 

(e) Each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to
disclose to Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, Properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known
by such Secured Party. 
 (f) Each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and
indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents, Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements and that the waivers set forth in
Section 11.02 and this Section 11.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
 Section 11.04.
Subrogation. Each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider
guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s, as applicable, Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, Secured Interest Rate/Currency
Agreement, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured
Party against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in Cash or other Property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the
Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full in Cash, all LC Facility Letters of Credit shall have expired, been terminated or been Cash collateralized and the
Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full in Cash of the
Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and the Loan Documents and (b) the latest date of expiration, termination or Cash collateralization of all LC Facility Letters of Credit, such amount shall be received and
held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other Property and funds of Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as
so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents,
Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements, or to be 

  
 138 









 
held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any of Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall make payment to
any Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full in Cash, and (iii) all LC
Facility Letters of Credit shall have expired, been terminated or been Cash collateralized, the Secured Parties will, at Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s, as applicable, request and expense, execute and deliver to Holdings or such
Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, of an interest in the
Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, pursuant to this Guaranty. 

Section 11.05. Subordination. Each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities
and other Obligations owed to Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth
in this Section 11.05: 
 (a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor may receive regularly
scheduled payments from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations; provided that, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent,
neither of Holdings nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations. 

(b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Code relating to any other Loan Party, each of
Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in Cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Code, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post-Petition Interest”)) before Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, receives payment of any
Subordinated Obligations. 
 (c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of Holdings
and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall, if the Collateral Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on
account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Holdings or such Subsidiary
Guarantor, as applicable, under the other provisions of this Guaranty. 
 (d) Collateral Agent Authorization. After the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor, to collect and
enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest), and (ii) to require each of Holdings and each
Subsidiary Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed
Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest). 
 Section 11.06. Guaranty Supplements. Upon the execution and
delivery by any Person of a Guaranty Supplement, (a) such Person shall be an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a 

  
 139 









 
Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” or “Guarantor”, as applicable, shall also mean and be a reference to such
Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any Loan Document to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” or “Guarantor”, as applicable, shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, (b) each reference
herein to “this Guaranty,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the “Guaranty,”
“thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement and (c) the Schedule hereto shall be deemed
to be amended and supplemented to incorporate the terms of any Schedule delivered pursuant to such Guaranty Supplement. 

Section 11.07. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force
and effect until a Repayment Event, (b) be binding upon each of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors, transferees
and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or any
portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it, and any Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or
otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 12.06. Neither of Holdings nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender
Parties.

insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings; provided, however, that (other than in the event of a perceived or actual conflict or where special and local counsel is required, in which case, no limitation shall apply), the Borrower
shall not be required to pay the expenses of more than one counsel to the Lender Parties in each relevant jurisdiction and appropriate special counsel in connection with such enforcement, collection, refinancing, restructuring or proceeding. 

Section 12.03. Indemnity. (a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 12.02, whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each Loan Party agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent and each of the Lender Parties and the officers, partners,
members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, sub-agents, controlling persons (if any) and Affiliates of each such Agent, Lender Party or such Affiliate (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Loan Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from (i) the bad faith, gross negligence or


  
 141 









 
willful misconduct of that Indemnitee or its Related Parties, in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, (ii) a material breach of
such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or (iii) any claim, litigation, loss or proceeding not involving an act or omission of any Loan Party or any of
its related parties and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than against any of the Agents or Arrangers in their respective capacities as such). To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold
harmless set forth in this Section 12.03 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Loan Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy
under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. No Loan Party will be required to indemnify any Indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee in the
settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the written consent of such Loan Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the foregoing indemnity will apply to any such settlement in the event
that such Loan Party was offered the ability to assume the defense of the action that was the subject matter of such settlement and elected not to so assume. For purposes hereof, a “Related Party” of an Indemnitee means (a) any
controlling person or controlled Affiliate of such Indemnitee, (b) the respective directors, officers, or employees of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates and (c) the respective agents of such
Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates, in the case of this clause (c), acting on behalf of or at the instructions of such Indemnitee, controlling person or such controlled Affiliate. 

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against each other
party hereto and each of their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or
not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each party hereto
hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor; provided, however, that this clause (b) shall
not waive, release or otherwise limit any obligation of any Loan Party to indemnify, pay and hold harmless any Indemnitee from and against such damages to the extent such damages are incurred by and payable to any third party. 

(c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender
Party as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06(b) or 5.04, acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 9.01 or for any other reason, or if the Borrower fails to
make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 9.01 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon
demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional out-of-pocket and
documented losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including any out-of-pocket and documented loss (but excluding loss of anticipated
profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance. 

Section 12.04. Set Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of
any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender 

  
 142 









 
Party is hereby authorized by each Loan Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without
notice to any Loan Party or to any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Debt evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Debt at any time held or owing by such Lender Party to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against and on account of the
obligations and liabilities of any Loan Party to such Lender Party hereunder, the LC Facility Letters of Credit or the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, the LC Facility
Letters of Credit or with any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender Party shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Advances or any amounts in respect of the LC
Facility Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Article II and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

additional requirements of Sections 12.05(b) and 12.05(c), and except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Loan
Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Required Lenders. 
 (b) Affected Lender
Parties’ Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender (other than, in the case of clause (x) below, a Defaulting Lender) that would be directly affected thereby (it being understood that clauses (viii) and
(ix) below directly affect all of the Lenders), no amendment, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would: 

(i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Advance or Note; 

(ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled mandatory repayment (but not prepayment); 

(iii) extend the stated expiration date of any LC Facility Letter of Credit beyond the LC Facility Letter of Credit Expiration
Date; 
 (iv) reduce the rate of interest on any Advance or any fee or any premium payable to such Lender hereunder (other
than, in each case, any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Advance pursuant to Section 5.02) or any other amount hereunder; 

(v) extend the time for payment of any such interest or fees to such Lender; 

(vi) reduce the principal amount of any Advance or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Facility Letter of Credit;

 (vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Section 12.05(b), Section 12.05(c)
or any other provision of this Agreement that expressly provides that the consent of all Lender Parties is required; 

(viii) amend the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Supermajority Required Lenders” or
“Pro Rata Share”; provided that, with the consent of the Required

Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Supermajority Required Lenders” or
“Pro Rata Share” on substantially the same basis as the Advances and Commitments are included on the Effective Date; 

(ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from the
Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents (including Section 8.02(e)); or 
 (x) consent to the
assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document. 
 (c) Other Consents. No
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall: 

(i) increase any Working Capital Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such
Lender; provided, no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Working Capital Commitment of any Lender; 

(ii) increase any LC Facility Commitment or LC Facility Issuing Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect
without the consent of such Lender; provided, no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any LC Facility Commitment or LC Facility Issuing Commitment
of any Lender; 
 (iii) without the consent of the Required Lenders and the consent of Lenders holding a majority of the
Commitments or Advances outstanding under such Senior Secured Facility, (A) change the order of application of any reduction in the Commitments or any prepayment of Advances among the Senior Secured Facilities from the application thereof set
forth in the applicable provisions of Section 2.04 of this Agreement, in any manner that disproportionately affects the Lender Parties under the Term Facilities, the Working Capital Facility or the LC Facility, as the case may be,
differently from the other Lender Parties or other Secured Parties or (B) otherwise disproportionately affect the obligation of the Borrower to make any payment of the Advances to the Lender Parties under any Term Facility, the Working Capital
Facility or the LC Facility, as the case may be, from other Lender Parties or other Secured Parties; provided that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application as between Senior Secured
Facilities, of any portion of such prepayment which is still required to be made is not altered; 
 (iv) amend, modify,
terminate or waive the provisions governing the reimbursement of LC Facility Letters of Credit as provided in Section 4.03 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and of the applicable LC Facility Issuing Bank; 

(v) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Article X as the same applies to any Agent or the Depositary, or
any other provision hereof of any Loan Document as the same applies to the rights, powers, privileges or obligations of any such Agent or the Depositary, in each case without the consent of such Agent or the Depositary, as applicable; or 

(vi) amend, modify or waive this Agreement or the Security Agreement so as to alter the ratable treatment of Obligations
arising under the Loan Documents and 

  
 144 









 
Obligations arising under Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements or the definition of “Lender Counterparty,”
“Obligations,” or “Secured Obligations” or any component definition thereof (as defined in any applicable Collateral Document) in each case in a manner adverse to any Lender Counterparty with Obligations then outstanding without
the written consent of any such Lender Counterparty. 
 (d) Amendments to Cure Ambiguities, Defects etc. Notwithstanding the other
provisions of this Section 12.05, the Loan Parties, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Depository may (but shall have no obligation to) amend or supplement the Loan Documents without the consent of any Lender Party:
(i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Lender Parties; (iii) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required

 (e) Execution of Amendments,
etc. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender Party, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender Party. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment,
modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 12.05 shall be binding upon each Lender Party at the time outstanding, each future Lender Party and, if signed by a Loan Party, on such Loan Party.

 Section 12.06. Successors and Assigns; Participations. (a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of the Lender Parties (and, with respect to the indemnification provisions hereof, to the benefit of any other
Persons entitled to indemnification hereunder). No Loan Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Loan Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents
and the Lender Parties and any other Persons entitled to indemnification hereunder) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

prior notice. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Advances listed therein for all purposes
hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Advance 

  
 145

on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Advances.

connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment and
Acceptance may be required to deliver pursuant to Sections 5.06(e) and (h). 
 (e) Representations and Warranties of
Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Advances, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Effective Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that
(i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Advances, as the case may be; (iii) it will make or invest in, as the
case may be, its Commitments or Advances for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Advances within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it
being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 12.06, the disposition of such Commitments or Advances or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control); and (iv) it has reviewed and
is familiar with the terms of the Loan Documents. 
 (f) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 12.06, as of the Assignment Effective Date, (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Advances and Commitments as
reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the
assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 12.08) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of
an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided, that anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
(x) any LC Facility Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to any LC Facility Letters of Credit retained by it until the cancellation or expiration of such LC Facility Letters of Credit and the
reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (y) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such
assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Commitment of such assignee; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon
the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee
and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the outstanding Advances of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender. 

(g) Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than a Loan
Party or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Advances or in any other Obligation. The holder of any such participation, other than an 

  
 147 









 
Affiliate of the Lender Party granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment,
modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Advance, Note or LC Facility Letter of Credit (unless such LC Facility Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the LC Facility Letter of Credit Expiration Date) in
which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates or other amounts hereunder) or
reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the
Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Advance shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a
result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as
expressly provided in the Loan Documents) supporting the Advances hereunder in which such participant is participating. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.04, 5.06 and
12.03(c) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (i) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 5.04 or 5.06 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the
Borrower’s prior written consent and (ii) a participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.06 unless such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.06 as though it
were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.06 shall be delivered to the participating Lender); provided, further, that, except as specifically set forth in clauses (i) and
(ii) of this sentence, nothing herein shall require any notice to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 12.04 as though it were a Lender, provided such participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.07 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Commitments, Advances or other Obligations (or other
rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the
owner of such Commitments, Advances or other Obligations (or other rights or obligations) hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose
any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Commitments, Advances or other Obligations (or other rights or obligations) hereunder are in registered form for United
States federal income tax purposes. 
 (h) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this
Section 12.06, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Advances, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank as
collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or any other applicable central bank; provided, no Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender,
shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge; and provided, further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, central bank pledgee or trustee be considered to be a
“Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. 
 (i) Certain
Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in 

  
 148 









 
addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon
distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
the applicable ratable share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities
then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each LC Facility Issuing Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full ratable share of all Advances;
provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph,
then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

Section 12.07. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby,
each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its applicable Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in
connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Arrangers, on the other hand, and each Loan Party is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents
(including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent and each of the Arrangers and Lenders is and has been acting solely as a
principal and is not the agent or fiduciary for any Loan Party or any of the Loan Parties’ Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Arrangers or Lenders has
assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any the Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Arranger has advised or is currently advising any Loan Party or any of the Loan Parties’ Affiliates on other matters) and
neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders or Arrangers has any obligation to the any Loan Party or any of the Loan Parties’ Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set
forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of
the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders or Arrangers has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each Loan Party hereby waives and releases, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and any of the Lenders or Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty. 

Section 12.08. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Loan Party set forth in Sections 5.04, 5.06,
12.02, 12.03 and 12.04 and the agreements of Lender 

  
 149 









 
Parties set forth in Sections 5.06, 5.07, 10.03(b) and 10.06 shall survive the payment of the Advances, the cancellation or expiration of the LC Facility Letters
of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination hereof. 
 Section 12.09. No Waiver; Remedies
Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver
of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to
each Agent and each Lender Party hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents. Any forbearance or failure
to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

 Section 12.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender Party shall be under any obligation to
marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties (or to
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lender Parties), or any Agent or Lender Party enforces any security interests or exercise its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then,
to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or
payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 
 Section 12.11. Severability. In case any provision
in or obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in
any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 12.12. Obligations Several; Independent
Nature of Lender Parties’ Rights. The obligations of Lender Parties hereunder are several and no Lender Party shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender Party hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any
other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lender Parties pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lender Parties as a partnership, an association, a Joint Venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time
hereunder to each Lender Parties shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender Party shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender Party to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 
 Section 12.13. Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. 

Section 12.14. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

  
 150 









 Section 12.15. Consent To Jurisdiction. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST
ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING
THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS;
(C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 12.01;
(D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN
EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT THE AGENTS AND THE LENDER PARTIES RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 

Section 12.16. Waiver Of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.
THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER
COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE
TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING
CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 12.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE ADVANCES MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT
OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 

  
 151 









 Section 12.17. Confidentiality. Each Lender Party shall hold all non-public
information regarding each Loan Party and its Affiliates and their businesses identified as such by such Loan Party and obtained by such Lender Party pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender Party’s customary
procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by the Borrower that, in any event, a Lender Party may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender Party and to their
respective agents and advisors (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender Party or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 12.17)
(provided that, prior to any disclosure, such Affiliate, agent or advisor shall agree to undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries received by it from any
Agent or any Lender Party), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender
Party of any Advances or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or professional advisors thereto) in Swap Agreements (provided that, prior to any disclosure, such assignee, transferee or
participant shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries received by it from any Agent or any Lender Party (it being acknowledged that any “click
through” confidentiality provision contained on any IntraLinks/IntraAgency or another relevant website shall suffice for purposes of this proviso)), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided
that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from any Agent or any Lender Party, (iv) disclosure on a
confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Advances and (v) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority or
representative thereof or by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (or any successor thereto) or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender Party
shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of any request pursuant to legal or judicial process. In addition, each Lender Party may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data
collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents and the Lender Parties in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Section 12.18. Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect
to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding
sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Advances made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of
interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Advances made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking
into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by
law, the Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lender Parties and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender Party contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes
interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender Party’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Advances made hereunder or be refunded
to the Borrower. 

  
 152 









 Section 12.19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 

Section 12.20. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the
parties hereto. 
 Section 12.21. Patriot Act. Each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of
any Lender Party) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the
Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender Party or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. 

Section 12.22. Titles. The parties hereto agree that any Arranger or the Co-Syndication Agents identified on the cover page of
this Agreement, in their capacities as such, shall not have any obligations, liability or responsibility under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

writing by the contractual party. 
 Without limiting the forgoing, the Borrower Group Parties shall without cost to the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties, maintain or cause to be maintained on its behalf in effect at all times the insurance required hereunder, in form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, with insurance companies eligible to
do business in the applicable states and rated “A-” or better and with a minimum size rating of “VII” by A.M. Best Company (or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized insurance rating agency of similar standing if
A.M. Best Company ratings shall no longer be published), or other insurance companies of recognized responsibility satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, until all obligations of the Borrower Group Parties pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents have been fully discharged: 
 a. Commercial General Liability: Commercial general liability insurance for
operations and construction on an “occurrence” policy form including coverage for premises/operations, explosion, collapse and underground hazards, products/completed operations, broad form property damage, blanket contractual liability,
independent contractors (cover for Borrower Group Parties) and personal injury, for the Borrower Group Parties, with primary coverage limits of no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate for injuries or death to one or
more persons or damage to property. Deductibles in excess of $50,000 per occurrence shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent. 

The commercial general liability policy shall also include a severability of interest clause with no exclusions or limitations for cross
liability under the liability policy. 
 b. Commercial Automobile Liability: Automobile liability insurance, to the extent exposure

other endorsements in accordance with state legal requirements, with a combined single limit of no less than $1,000,000 per accident with respect to bodily injury, property damage or death.
Deductibles in excess of $50,000 per occurrence shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent. 
 c. Workers’
Compensation and Employer’s Liability: Workers’ compensation insurance in compliance with statutory requirements and employer’s liability insurance, to the extent exposure exists, with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per
accident, per employee and per disease including such other forms of insurance that the Borrower Group Parties are required by law to provide for the Facilities, all other states’ endorsement and, to the extent any exposure exists, coverage
with respect to the USL&H Act and Jones Act, covering loss resulting from bodily injury, sickness, disability or death of the employees of the Borrower Group Parties. Deductibles in excess of $50,000 per occurrence shall be subject to the
approval of the Administrative Agent. 
 d. Contractor’s Pollution Liability: Contractor’s Pollution liability insurance
during construction for liability arising out of property damage or bodily injury to third parties as a result of sudden and accidental pollution including the cost of on-site and off-site clean up and disturbance of pre-existing conditions in an
amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 policy term aggregate. Claims made coverage forms are acceptable and a deductible of no more than $100,000 shall apply. 

e. Pollution Liability: Pollution liability insurance for liability arising out of property damage or bodily injury to third parties as
a result of sudden and accidental pollution including the cost of on-site and off-site clean up in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 policy term aggregate. Claims made coverage forms are acceptable and a deductible of
no more than $100,000 shall apply. 
 f. Umbrella/Excess Liability: Umbrella or excess liability insurance of not less than
$20,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate during operations and $5,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate during construction on a project-specific basis. Such coverages shall be on a per occurrence policy form and shall be over and above
coverage provided by the policies, if any, described in Sections 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) (employers liability) of this Schedule 8.01(d). The umbrella and/or excess policies shall not contain endorsements that unreasonably restrict coverages as set forth
in Sections 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) (employer’s liability) of this Schedule 8.01(d), and which are provided in the underlying policies. If the policy or policies under this Section 1(f) for operations contain aggregate limits and such
aggregate limits are diminished below $10,000,000 as a result of any incident, occurrence, claim, settlement or judgment in respect of such insurance which has caused the carrier to establish a reserve, the Borrower shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent in writing of such reduction and the events giving rise thereto and shall take immediate steps to restore such aggregate limits to $20,000,000 as required herein. 

(i) The amounts of insurance required in the foregoing Sections 1(a), 1(b), 1(c) (employers liability) and this
Section 1(f) may be satisfied by the Borrower Group Parties purchasing coverage in the amounts specified or by any combination of primary and excess insurance, so long as the total amount of insurance meets the requirements specified above.

undocking subject to AIMU marine liability clauses with primary coverage limits of no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate for injuries and or death to one or more persons or damage to property. Deductibles in excess
of $50,000 per occurrence shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent. Further, excess commercial marine and terminal operator’s liability insurance shall be maintained with limits of not less than $24,000,000 per occurrence
and in the aggregate excess of $1,000,000 any one accident or occurrence inclusive of the primary requirements. It is agreed that the amounts of insurance in this Section shall have a total limit of not less than $25,000,000 per occurrence and
annual aggregate and may be satisfied by the Borrower Group Parties procuring coverage in any combination of primary and excess insurance. 

h. Construction All Risk Insurance: On or prior to the point of ground breaking of any Development Project, or if ground breaking has
already occurred, prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower Group Parties shall procure property damage insurance for all property, equipment and construction and erection activities associated with the construction on an “all risk” basis
insuring the Borrower Group Parties and the Secured Parties, as their interests may appear, including but not limited to coverage for the perils of earth movement (including but not limited to earthquake, landslide, subsidence and volcanic
eruption), flood, named windstorm, and machinery and equipment breakdown. Losses shall be valued at their repair or replacement cost without deductions for physical depreciation or obsolescence. Such insurance shall not contain any coinsurance
clause or shall include a waiver of such clause. 
 (i) The construction all risk insurance shall provide coverage for but
not limited to (i) the buildings, structures, machinery and equipment, facilities, fixtures, supplies and other property constituting a part of any Development Project, including all temporary works, (ii) earth movement, named windstorm
and flood coverage with a sub-limit not less than the “Full Insured Value” of each Development Project per occurrence and in the aggregate, (iii) off-site storage with a sub-limit of not less than an amount sufficient to insure the
full replacement value of any property or equipment not stored at the Development Project sites, (iv) electronic equipment and media, (v) operational and performance testing as broadly defined, (vi) inland transit with a sub-limit of
not less than an amount sufficient to insure the largest single shipment to or from the sites of the Development Projects to or from anywhere within the United States (unless insured by marine cargo insurance) including but not limited to loading,
unloading and (vii) such other coverages all as customarily sublimited and/or restricted in reasonable amounts consistent with current industry practice with respect to similar risks including without limitation, extra expense, expediting
expense, ordinance or law coverage, including the increased cost of construction to comply with the enforcement of any law that regulates the construction or 

  
 3 









 
repair of damaged property, including the cost to demolished undamaged portions of the property, debris removal pollutant cleanup, professional fees and claims preparation costs directly incurred
in order to repair or replace damaged insured property and costs to lease temporary equipment. 
 (ii) The construction all
risk policy shall include to the extent that it is commercially reasonable (i) a seventy-two (72) hour flood/named windstorm/earthquake clause, (ii) an unintentional errors and omissions clause, a 50/50 clause (whenever ocean cargo
risks are insured), and (iii) an interim payments clause indicating that insurer agrees to pay losses within sixty (60) days after receipt of an acceptable proof of loss or partial proof of loss. The construction all risk policy shall not
contain an (i) exclusion for loss or damage that is not covered under any guarantee or warranty arising out of an insured peril (i.e. exclusion is only permitted to the extent such loss or damage is covered by any guarantee or warranty and so
long as delay in startup remains unaffected for insured perils) or (ii) exclusion for resultant damage caused by faulty workmanship, design or materials more restrictive than LEG2/96 clause for physical damage and with respect to delay in
startup. 
 (iii) The construction all risk policy shall (i) not be subject to cancellation by the insurer, except with
10 days notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent for non-payment of premium, (ii) be on a completed value form without co-insurance provisions or a waiver thereof and (iii) insure against physical damage to the construction
in an amount not less than the “Full Insurable Value” of the project, subject to usual and customarily sublimited and aggregated perils including those more specifically defined herein. For purposes of this section, “Full Insurable
Value” shall mean the full replacement cost value of the project, including but not limited to any new or existing buildings or structures, any improvements to new or existing property, equipment, spare parts, and supplies, and with the
exception of used equipment, without deduction for physical depreciation and/or obsolescence. 
 (iv) The construction all
risk insurance shall have no deductible greater than $50,000 per occurrence, except $250,000 for flood, named windstorm and earthquake, $100,000 for hot testing and $100,000 for equipment utilized for construction, or other such deductibles approved
by the Administrative Agent. 
 i. Delay In Startup Insurance: Delay in startup coverage insuring the interests of the Borrower Group
Parties and the Secured Parties as their interests may appear, covering (i) the loss of expected gross revenues less non-continuing expenses for an indemnity period of not less than six (6) months in the aggregate and (ii) soft costs
and additional expenses for an indemnity period of not less than twelve (12) months, as a result of physical loss or damage by perils required to be insured under this Section 1(i) causing a delay in completion of a Development Project
beyond its anticipated date of completion. Such insurance shall (i) have a deductible of not greater than thirty (30) days per occurrence, (ii) include extra expenses (defined as extraordinary expenses incurred after an insured loss
to make temporary repairs and expedite the permanent repair of the damaged property and expediting expenses, (iii) to the extent 

  
 4 









 
commercially reasonable include a clause allowing interim payments on account pending finalization of the claim payment and (iv) cover loss sustained when ingress or egress to or from the
site of the project is prevented including restriction by civil authority for a period of not less than thirty (30) days. To the extent that a Development Project is operated on an interim basis prior to the date on which Commercial Operations
of such Development Project have been achieved or prior to replacement of the insurance required in this Section 1(i) by the insurance required in Section 1(k) below, as the case may be, the Borrower Group Parties shall use best efforts to
negotiate with its insurers that it has the appropriate permissions to operate on an interim basis so as to ensure no adverse material impact on coverage required herein. This coverage shall also be provided on a difference in conditions basis for

amounts, policy provisions or otherwise) as are from time to time insured against for property and facilities similar in nature, use and location, which the Secured Parties may reasonably require. 

r. Work by Others: With respect to work performed by others for the Borrower Group Parties, the Borrower Group Parties shall use

contract obligations including naming the Borrower Group Parties or others as additional insureds and providing a waiver of subrogation in their favor, as applicable. 

2. All insurance coverage described in this Schedule 8.01(d) shall be in such form (including the form of the mortgagee or lender loss payable
clauses) as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld). Upon request, the Borrower Group Parties shall submit complete copies of all polices (or until such policies are available, binders or
detailed certificates evidencing such policies, as available) received by them pursuant to the requirements of this Schedule to the Administrative Agent for its review and approval. 

3. Special Provisions: All policies wherein the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have an
insurable interest shall insure the interests of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties as well as the Borrower Group Parties and shall include but not be limited to the following terms and conditions: 

(i) All policies, with the exception of workers’ compensation insurance, shall name the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties as additional insureds, unless the Secured Parties are additional named insureds under the policy. 

(ii) All policies covering real or personal property (including any delay in startup or business interruption insurance) shall
name the Collateral Agent as the “sole” loss payee on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with an industry standard Mortgagee endorsement or Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement 438 BFU, its equivalent or such other industry
standard forms or endorsements approved by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Insurance Consultant, and shall provide that any payment thereunder for any loss or damage with respect to any Facility shall be made to Collateral Agent,
except that such policies may provide that any payments of less than $1,000,000 (not to exceed $5,000,000 in any year) made in respect of any single casualty or other occurrence may be paid to the Borrower Group Parties, unless the Administrative
Agent shall have notified the insurer that an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and shall be continuing. Upon payment and satisfaction of all of the Borrower Group Parties’ obligations under, and termination of, the


  
 8 









 
Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may instruct the insurers to name a Borrower Group Party, or such successor credit provider or other such entity as a Borrower Group Party shall specify,
as loss payee. 
 (iii) All policies covering real or personal property issued pursuant hereto shall contain non-vitiation
wording acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the effect that the insurance policy and coverage thereunder shall not be invalidated, voided or vitiated with respect to the interest of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties due to
actions or inactions of the Borrower Group Parties, the insureds, the additional insureds or any other Person. 
 (iv)
Except to the extent commercially unavailable on property related insurance, each policy shall expressly provide that all provisions thereof, except the limits of liability (which shall be applicable to all insureds as a group) and liability for
premiums (which shall be solely a liability of the applicable Borrower Group Party) shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each such insured. 

(v) Each policy shall waive subrogation against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties
and the Borrower Group Parties and shall waive any right of the insurers to any setoff or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Borrower Group Parties, the Collateral Agent or the
other Secured Parties. 
 (vi) Each such policy shall be primary and not excess to or contributing with any similar
insurance or self-insurance maintained by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties. 

(vii) Except to the extent commercially unavailable on liability insurance, each such policy shall provide that if any premium
or installment is not paid when due, or if such insurance is to be cancelled, terminated or materially changed for any reason whatsoever, the insurers (or their representatives) will promptly notify the relevant Borrower Group Party and the
Administrative Agent, and any such cancellation, termination or material change shall not be effective until a minimum of thirty (30) days (other than construction all-risk, which shall be non-cancellable), except for ten (10) days notice
for non-payment of premium after receipt of such notice to the Administrative Agent, and that appropriate certification shall be made to the relevant Borrower Group Party by each insurer with respect thereto. To the extent endorsement of the
required policies to provide the required written notice of cancellation or material change to the Administrative Agent is not commercially available, the Borrower Group Parties shall be obligated to provide the required written notice to the
Administrative Agent. For the purposes of this section “materially changed” means any change that would cause any Borrower Group Party to be in non-compliance with the insurance requirements of this Schedule 8.01(d). Such policy provisions
shall also 

  
 9 









 
provide that in the event the Borrower Group Parties fail to pay the premium, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pay the premium and continue coverage. All
amounts so advanced for such purpose shall become an additional obligation of the Borrower Group Parties to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, and the Borrower Group Parties shall forthwith pay such amounts, together with interest on such
amounts at the Default Rate from the date so advanced until fully paid by the Borrower Group Parties. If suspension of coverage for machinery breakdown for specific equipment due to the insurers exercising a suspension clause (whether such
suspension is immediate or otherwise), the relevant Borrower Group Party and its insurance broker shall provide immediate written notification to the Administrative Agent as soon as coverage is suspended. 

4. In the event that the Borrower Group Parties fail to respond in a timely and appropriate manner (as reasonably determined by the
Administrative Agent) to take any steps necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to collect from any insurers for any loss covered by any insurance required to be maintained by this Schedule, the Administrative Agent shall have
the right to make all proofs of loss, adjust all claims and/or receive all or any part of the proceeds of the foregoing insurance policies, either in its own name or the name of the relevant Borrower Group Party; provided, however, that the Borrower
Group Parties shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request and at the Borrower Group Parties’ own cost and expense, make all proofs of loss and take all other steps necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to collect
from insurers for any loss covered by any insurance required to be obtained by this Schedule. 
 5. On or prior to the expiration of each
policy required herein on an annual basis upon each policy anniversary, the Borrower Group Parties shall furnish to the Administrative Agent on an annual basis, detailed binders or certificates of insurance, showing the insurance then maintained by
or on behalf of each Borrower Group Party pursuant to this Schedule and within thirty (30) days after each annual policy renewal date, furnish the Administrative Agent with a certificate of its Responsible Officer certifying that the insurance
required to be obtained and maintained by this Schedule is in full force and effect and complies in all material respects with the terms hereof, together with a statement that all premiums then due have been paid or are not in arrears and on or
prior to the expiration of each policy required to be to be maintained pursuant to this Schedule, furnish the Administrative Agent with detailed certificates of insurance with respect to each new or renewal policy. 

Concurrently with the furnishing of the certification referred to in the paragraph above, the Borrower Group Parties shall furnish the Administrative Agent
with a letter from their insurance broker, signed by an officer of the insurance broker, stating that in the opinion of the insurance broker, the insurance then carried or to be renewed is in accordance with the terms of this Schedule, is in full
force and effect and all premiums due have been paid or are not in arrears. Such report shall not be subject to any non-customary qualification with respect to the scope of review or the information made available, unless otherwise waived by the
Administrative Agent. 
 In the event that at any time the insurance as herein provided shall be reduced or cease to be maintained, then (without limiting
the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder in respect of 

  
 10 









 
the Event of Default which arises as a result of such failure) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice (unless such insurance
coverage would lapse within such period, in which event notice should be given as soon as reasonably possible) to the relevant Borrower Group Parties of any such failure, may (but shall not be obligated to) take out the required policies of
insurance and pay the premiums on the same. All amounts so advanced for such purpose shall become an additional obligation of the Borrower Group Parties to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, and the Borrower Group Parties shall forthwith pay
such amounts, together with interest on such amounts at the Default Rate from the date so advanced until fully paid by the Borrower Group Parties. 

6. In the event any insurance (including the limits or deductibles thereof) hereby required to be maintained, other than insurance required by
law to be maintained, shall not be available in the commercial insurance market or only available in the commercial insurance market at a cost that is not commercially feasible, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Insurance
Consultant, shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement to waive such requirement to the extent the maintenance thereof is not so available; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower shall first request any such waiver in writing, which
request shall be accompanied by a written report prepared by the Insurance Broker, certifying that such insurance is not available or is only available in the commercial insurance market at a cost that is not commercially feasible (including the
details of such costs) (and, in any case where the required amount is not so available, certifying as to the maximum amount which is so available) and explaining in detail the basis for such conclusions, such Insurance Broker and the form and
substance of such report to be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent; (ii) at any time after the granting of any such waiver, the Administrative Agent may request, and the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent within thirty
(30) days after such request, a supplemental report reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent from such Insurance Broker updating its prior report and reaffirming such conclusion; and ((iii) any such waiver shall be effective only so
long as such insurance shall not be available or available only at a cost that is not commercially feasible in the commercial insurance market, it being understood that the failure of the Borrower to timely furnish any such supplemental report shall
be conclusive evidence that such waiver is no longer effective because such condition no longer exists, but that such failure is not the only way to establish such non-existence. 

7. In the event that any policy is written on a “claims-made” basis and such policy is not renewed or the retroactive date of such
policy is to be changed, the relevant Borrower Group Party shall obtain for each such policy or policies an extended reporting period coverage or “tail” reasonably available in the commercial insurance market for each such policy or
policies and shall provide the Administrative Agent with proof that such extended reporting period coverage or “tail” has been obtained. 

8. In the event that any insurance is provided through a blanket program and limits are shared with other assets owned by the Borrower Group
Parties, in the event that the limits or sub-limits are eroded due to a loss at another asset, including an asset in this financing, the relevant Borrower Group Parties shall have these limits automatically reinstated unless otherwise approved by
the Administrative Agent. 

  
 11 









 9. No provision of this Schedule 8.01(d) or any provision of any Loan Document shall impose on
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance coverage maintained pursuant to this Schedule 8.01(d), nor shall the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be responsible for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower Group Parties to any insurance company or underwriter. Any failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to pursue or obtain the evidence of insurance required by this Schedule 8.01(d) and/or of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to point out any non-compliance of such
evidence of insurance shall not constitute a waiver of any of the insurance requirements in this Schedule 8.01(d).

 Re: Credit and Guaranty
Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2012 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being

Supplement, being the “Guaranty”). The capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined. 

Section 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) The undersigned, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally
and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or
in respect of the Loan Documents, Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements (including any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of
the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the

liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured
Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party. 

  
 EXHIBIT J

 (b) The undersigned, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty Supplement, the Administrative Agent

Party under this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty or any other guaranty, the undersigned will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to Holdings or each other Subsidiary Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount
paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents, Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements.

follows: 
 (a) Supplemental Schedule 7.01(a) accurately sets forth for the undersigned its exact legal name, type of organization,

OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF

Property free and clear of any liens, claims or interests, and (b) this Deed of Trust creates valid, enforceable first priority liens and security interests against the Mortgaged Property. 

3.2. First Lien Status. Grantor shall preserve and protect the first lien and security interest status of this Deed of Trust and the
Loan Documents to the extent related to the Mortgaged Property. If any lien or security interest other than a Permitted Lien is asserted against the Mortgaged Property, Grantor shall promptly, and at its expense, (a) give Beneficiary a detailed
written notice of such lien or security interest (including origin, amount and other terms), and (b) pay the underlying claim in full or take such other action so as to cause it to be released. 

3.3. Payment and Performance. Grantor shall promptly pay and perform the Obligations in full when they are required to be paid and
performed under the Loan Documents, the Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, the Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements and the Secured Cash Management Agreements, as applicable. 

3.4. Replacement of Fixtures and Personalty. Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary or as permitted under
the Credit Agreement, permit any of the Fixtures or Personalty to be removed at any time from the Land or Improvements, unless the removed item is removed temporarily for maintenance and repair or, if removed permanently, is obsolete and is replaced
by an article of equal or better suitability and value, owned by Grantor subject to the liens and security interests of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, and free and clear of any other lien or security interest except such as may be
permitted under the Credit Agreement or first approved in writing by Beneficiary. 
 3.5. Inspection. Subject to the terms of
Section 8.01(f) of the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall permit Beneficiary, and Beneficiary’s agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior notice to Grantor, to inspect the Mortgaged Property and all books and records
of Grantor located thereon, and to conduct such environmental and engineering studies as Beneficiary may reasonably require; provided, such inspections and studies shall not materially interfere with the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property.

 3.6. Covenants Running with the Land. All obligations contained in this Deed of Trust are intended by Grantor and Beneficiary to
be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Mortgaged Property. As used herein, “Grantor” shall refer to the party named in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust and to any subsequent owner of all or any portion of the
Mortgaged Property. All Persons who may have or acquire an interest in the Mortgaged Property shall be deemed to have notice of, and be bound by, the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; however, no such party shall be
entitled to any rights thereunder without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. In addition, all of the covenants of Grantor in any Loan Document are incorporated herein by reference and, together with covenants in this Section, shall be
covenants running with the land. 
 3.7. Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds. Grantor assigns all awards and compensation to
which it is entitled for any condemnation or other taking, or any purchase in lieu thereof, to Beneficiary and authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive such awards and compensation and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, subject
to the terms of the Loan Documents. Grantor assigns to Beneficiary all proceeds of any insurance policies insuring against loss or damage to the Mortgaged 

  
 EXHIBIT K 

- 4 - 









 
Property, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents. Grantor authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive such proceeds and authorizes and directs the issuer of each of such insurance policies
to make payment for all such losses directly to Beneficiary, instead of to Grantor and Beneficiary jointly, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents. 

3.8. Change in Tax Law. Upon the enactment of or change in (including, without limitation, a change in interpretation of) any
applicable law (i) deducting or allowing Grantor to deduct from the value of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of taxation any lien or security interest thereon or (ii) subjecting Beneficiary or any of the Secured Parties to any tax
or changing the basis of taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust, or other liens or debts secured thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, in each such case, so as to affect this Deed of Trust, the Obligations or Beneficiary, and the result
is to increase the taxes imposed upon or the cost to Beneficiary of maintaining the Obligations, or to reduce the amount of any payments receivable hereunder, then, and in any such event, Grantor shall, on demand, pay to Beneficiary and the Secured
Parties additional amounts to compensate for such increased costs or reduced amounts, provided that if any such payment or reimbursement shall be unlawful, or taxable to Beneficiary, or would constitute usury or render the Obligations wholly or
partially usurious under applicable law, then Grantor shall pay or reimburse Beneficiary or the Secured Parties for payment of the lawful and non-usurious portion thereof. 

3.9. Mortgage Tax. Grantor shall (i) pay when due any tax imposed upon it or upon Beneficiary or any Secured Party pursuant to the
tax law of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located in connection with the execution, delivery and recordation of this Deed of Trust and any of the other Loan Documents, and (ii) prepare, execute and file any form required to be
prepared, executed and filed in connection therewith. 
 3.10. Reduction Of Secured Amount. In the event that the amount secured by
the Mortgage is less than the Obligations, then the amount secured shall be reduced only by the last and final sums that Borrower repays with respect to the Obligations and shall not be reduced by any intervening repayments of the Obligations unless
arising from the Mortgaged Property. So long as the balance of the Obligations exceeds the amount secured, any payments of the Obligations shall not be deemed to be applied against, or to reduce, the portion of the Obligations secured by this Deed
of Trust. Such payments shall instead be deemed to reduce only such portions of the Obligations as are secured by other collateral located outside of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located or as are unsecured. 

SECTION 4. DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE 

4.1. Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s election, but subject to
Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses: (a) declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, without further notice, presentment, protest, notice of intent
to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand or action of any nature whatsoever (each of which hereby is expressly waived by Grantor), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable; (b) enter the Mortgaged Property and take
exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto or located thereon; (c) if Grantor remains in possession of the Mortgaged Property after an Event of Default and without Beneficiary’s prior written
consent, Beneficiary may invoke any legal remedies to dispossess Grantor; (d) hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may deem reasonable under the
circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and 

  
 EXHIBIT K 

- 5 - 









 
improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable), and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by Beneficiary in connection therewith in
accordance with the provisions hereof; (e) institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, either by judicial action or by power of sale, in which case the Mortgaged Property may be sold for cash or credit in one or
more parcels; (f) make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the
Obligations, the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, and Grantor irrevocably consents to such appointment; and/or (g) exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Loan Documents or otherwise available at
law or in equity. With respect to any notices required or permitted under the UCC, Grantor agrees that ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. At any such sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings,
power of sale, or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be completely and irrevocably
divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor, and
against all other Persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Grantor. Beneficiary or any of the Secured Parties may be a purchaser at such sale and if Beneficiary is the highest bidder, Beneficiary shall
credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Beneficiary against the Obligations in lieu of paying cash. In the event this Deed of Trust is foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement of the Mortgaged Property is waived. Any
receiver appointed pursuant to this section shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the
court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions hereof. 
 4.2. Separate Sales. The Mortgaged Property may be
sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may elect; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales. 

4.3. Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive. Beneficiary shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan
Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulated and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Loan Documents, or
against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Beneficiary or the Secured Parties, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of
them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Beneficiary or the Secured Parties in the enforcement of any rights,
remedies or recourses under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default. 
 4.4.
Release of and Resort to Collateral. Subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, Beneficiary may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged
Property, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interest created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their status as a first and prior
lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property. For payment and performance of the Obligations, Beneficiary may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents.


  
 EXHIBIT K 

- 6 - 









 4.5. Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Mortgaged
Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment; (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of Beneficiary’s election to
exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents; and (c) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation. 

4.6. Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Beneficiary or the Secured Parties shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse
permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Beneficiary or the Secured Parties shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Grantor and Beneficiary or the Secured
Parties shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Beneficiary or the Secured Parties shall continue as if
the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Beneficiary or the Secured Parties thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or
recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default. 
 4.7. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, and the
Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied by Beneficiary (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in accordance with, and subject to, Section 7.2 of
the Security Agreement, unless otherwise required by applicable law. 
 4.8. Occupancy After Foreclosure. Any sale of the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof will divest all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to the property sold. Subject to applicable law, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive immediate possession of the property purchased. If Grantor
retains possession of such property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Grantor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Grantor remains in possession after demand to remove, be subject to eviction and
removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law. 
 4.9. Additional Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement.
If any Event of Default exists, Beneficiary and each of the other Secured Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Grantor in accordance with the Credit Agreement. All sums
advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Beneficiary or any other Secured Party under this Section, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred if not
repaid within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the rate or rates at which interest is then computed on the Obligations, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be
secured by this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, or the enforcement,
compromise or settlement of the Obligations or any claim under this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary or the other Secured Parties in respect
thereof, by litigation or otherwise. 

  
 EXHIBIT K

 4.10. No Mortgagee in Possession. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under
this Section, the assignment of the Rents and Leases under Section 5, the security interests under Section 6, nor any other remedies afforded to Beneficiary or the other Secured Parties under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall
cause Beneficiary or any Secured Party to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Beneficiary or any Secured Party to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action,
incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise. 
 SECTION 5. ASSIGNMENT OF
RENTS AND LEASES 
 5.1. Assignment. In furtherance of and in addition to the assignment made by Grantor herein, Grantor hereby
absolutely and unconditionally assigns, sells, transfers and conveys to Beneficiary all of its right, title and interest in and to all Leases, whether now existing or hereafter entered into, and all of its right, title and interest in and to all
Rents. This assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor shall have a revocable license from Beneficiary to exercise all rights
extended to the landlord under the Leases, including the right to receive and collect all Rents and to hold the Rents in trust for use in the payment and performance of the Obligations and to otherwise use the same. The foregoing license is granted
subject to the conditional limitation that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings have commenced, and without regard to
waste, adequacy of security for the Obligations or solvency of Grantor, the license herein granted shall automatically expire and terminate, without notice by Beneficiary (any such notice being hereby expressly waived by Grantor). 

5.2. Perfection Upon Recordation. Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary has taken all reasonable actions necessary to obtain, and that
upon recordation of this Deed of Trust Beneficiary shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases
subject to the Permitted Liens and in the case of security deposits, rights of depositors and requirements of law. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary’s interest in the Rents shall be deemed
to be fully perfected, “choate” and enforced as to Grantor and all third parties, including, without limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”), without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Deed of Trust, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action. 

5.3. Bankruptcy Provisions. Without limitation of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Grantor and Beneficiary
agree that (a) this Deed of Trust shall constitute a “security agreement” for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this Deed of Trust extends to property of Grantor acquired
before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents, and (c) such security interest shall extend to all Rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.

 SECTION 6. SECURITY AGREEMENT 

6.1. Security Interest. This Deed of Trust constitutes a “security agreement” on personal property within the meaning of the
UCC and other applicable law and with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards, but excluding any Excluded Property. To this end, Grantor
grants to Beneficiary a first and prior security interest in the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance, Condemnation Awards and all other Mortgaged Property which is personal
property (but excluding any Excluded Property) to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations subject to the Permitted Liens, and agrees that Beneficiary shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect
to such property. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards sent
to Grantor at least ten (10) days prior to any action under the UCC shall constitute reasonable notice to Grantor. 
 6.2. Financing
Statements. Grantor shall authorize and deliver to Beneficiary, in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, such financing statements and such further assurances as Beneficiary may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to
create, perfect and preserve Beneficiary’s security interest hereunder and Beneficiary may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and
preserve such security interest. Grantor’s chief executive office is at the address specified in Section 12.01 of the Credit Agreement. 

6.3. Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust shall also constitute a “fixture filing” for the purposes of the UCC against all of
the Mortgaged Property which is or is to become fixtures. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained at the addresses of Debtor (Grantor) and Secured Party (Beneficiary) as set forth in the first paragraph of this
Deed of Trust. 
 SECTION 7. ATTORNEY-IN-FACT 

Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary and its successors and assigns as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, (a) to execute and/or record any notices of completion, cessation of labor or any other notices that
Beneficiary deems appropriate to protect Beneficiary’s interest, if Grantor shall fail to do so within ten (10) days after written request by Beneficiary, (b) upon the issuance of a deed pursuant to the foreclosure of this Deed of
Trust or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, to execute all instruments of assignment, conveyance or further assurance with respect to the Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Fixtures, Personalty, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds,
Insurance and Condemnation Awards in favor of the grantee of any such deed and as may be necessary or desirable for such purpose, (c) to prepare, execute and file or record financing statements, continuation statements, applications for
registration and like papers necessary to create, perfect or preserve Beneficiary’s security interests and rights in or to any of the Mortgaged Property, and (d) while any Event of Default exists, to perform any obligation of Grantor
hereunder; provided, (i) Beneficiary shall not under any circumstances be obligated to perform any obligation of Grantor; (ii) any sums advanced by Beneficiary in such performance shall be added to and included in the Obligations and shall
bear interest at the rate or rates at which interest is then computed on the Obligations provided that from the date incurred 

  
 EXHIBIT K 

- 9 - 









 
said advance is not repaid within five (5) days demand therefor; (iii) Beneficiary as such
attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as are actually received by Beneficiary; and (iv) Beneficiary shall not be liable to Grantor or any other
person or entity for any failure to take any action which it is empowered to take under this Section. 
 SECTION 8. BENEFICIARY AS AGENT 

Beneficiary has been appointed to act as Beneficiary hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the Lender
Counterparties. Beneficiary shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or
substitution of Mortgaged Property), solely in accordance with this Deed of Trust and the Loan Documents; provided, Beneficiary shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the instructions
of (a) the Required Lenders, or (b) after payment in full of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional amount (or, with respect to any Secured Interest
Rate/Currency Agreement, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement that has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any
early termination payments then due) under such Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreement, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, as applicable) under all Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements, Secured Commodity
Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Lender Counterparty, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon
any of the Mortgaged Property, it being understood and agreed by such Lender Counterparty that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Beneficiary for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this
Section. Beneficiary shall at all times be the same Person that is Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by Collateral Agent pursuant to terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation
as Beneficiary under this Agreement; removal of Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute removal as Beneficiary under this Agreement; and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms
of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Beneficiary under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent under the terms of the Credit Agreement by a successor Collateral Agent, that
successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Beneficiary under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Beneficiary under this Agreement
shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Beneficiary all sums, securities and other items of Mortgaged Property held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of
the duties of the successor Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Beneficiary such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection
with the assignment to such successor Beneficiary of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Beneficiary shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Deed of Trust thereafter accruing. After any
retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Beneficiary, the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Deed of Trust
while it was Beneficiary hereunder.

Trust or reconvey the Mortgaged Property to Grantor. 
 SECTION 11. MULTI-SITE REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS 

Grantor acknowledges that this Deed of Trust is one of a number of Mortgages and other security documents (“Other Mortgages”)
that secure the Obligations. Grantor agrees that, subject to the terms of Section 10 hereof, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions
whatsoever of Beneficiary, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by Beneficiary of any security for or guarantees of the Obligations, or by any failure, neglect or omission on
the part of Beneficiary to realize upon or protect any Obligation or any collateral security therefor including the Other Mortgages. Subject to the terms of Section 10 hereof, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall not in any manner be
impaired or affected by any release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, changing, modification or disposition of any of the Obligations or of any of the
collateral security therefor, including the Other Mortgages or any guarantee thereof, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Beneficiary may at its discretion foreclose, exercise any power of sale, or exercise any other remedy
available to it under any or all of the Other Mortgages without first exercising or enforcing any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Such exercise of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under any or all of the Other Mortgages shall not in any
manner impair the Obligations hereby secured or the lien of this Deed of Trust and any exercise of the rights and remedies of Beneficiary hereunder shall not impair the lien of any of the Other Mortgages or any of Beneficiary’s rights and
remedies thereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor specifically consents and agrees that Beneficiary may exercise its rights and remedies hereunder and under the Other Mortgages separately or concurrently and in any
order that it may deem appropriate and waives any right of subrogation.

of Trust shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise
be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. 

12.4. Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency with the terms of this Deed of Trust and the terms of the Credit
Agreement, the Credit Agreement shall control.

IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS DEED OF TRUST 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 DEED OF TRUST AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. THIS WAIVER IS
IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 12.6 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER WILL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT
AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS DEED OF TRUST MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN

 12.8. No Waiver. Any failure by Beneficiary to insist upon strict performance of any of
the terms, provisions or conditions of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same, and Beneficiary shall have the right at any time to insist upon strict performance of all of such terms, provisions and conditions. No failure or
delay on the part of Beneficiary or any Secured Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or
acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Deed of Trust and
the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. 
 12.9. Subrogation.
To the extent proceeds of the Loan have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness against the Mortgaged Property, then Beneficiary shall be subrogated to all of the rights, liens and interests existing against the Mortgaged Property
and held by the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, liens and interests, if any, are not waived, but are continued in full force and effect in favor of Beneficiary. 

12.10. Waiver of Stay, Moratorium and Similar Rights. Grantor agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not
at any time insist upon or plead or in any way take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension, redemption or moratorium law now or hereafter in force and effect so as to prevent or hinder the enforcement of the
provisions of this Deed of Trust or the Obligations secured hereby, or any agreement between Grantor and Beneficiary or any rights or remedies of Beneficiary. 

12.11. Entire Agreement. This Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between
Beneficiary and Grantor and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or
subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

 13.2. Rights and Privileges of Trustee. To the extent that this Deed of Trust requires
Grantor to reimburse Beneficiary for any expenditures Beneficiary may incur, Trustee shall be entitled to the same rights to reimbursement of expenses as Beneficiary, subject to such limitations and conditions as would apply in the case of
Beneficiary. To the extent that this Deed of Trust negates or limits Beneficiary’s liability as to any matter, Trustee shall be entitled to the same negation or limitation of liability. To the extent that Grantor, pursuant to this Deed of
Trust, appoints Beneficiary as Grantor’s attorney in fact for any purpose, Beneficiary or (when so instructed by Beneficiary) Trustee shall be entitled to act on Grantor’s behalf without joinder or confirmation by the other. 

13.3. Authority of Beneficiary. If Beneficiary is a banking corporation, state banking corporation or a national banking association
and the instrument of appointment of any successor or replacement Trustee is executed on Beneficiary’s behalf by an officer of such corporation, state banking corporation or national banking association, then such appointment may be executed by
any authorized officer or agent of Beneficiary and such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of
Beneficiary. 
 13.4. Effect of Appointment of Successor Trustee. Upon the appointment and designation of any successor, substitute
or replacement Trustee, Trustee’s entire estate and title in the Mortgaged Property shall vest in the designated successor, substitute or replacement Trustee. Such successor, substitute or replacement Trustee shall thereupon succeed to and
shall hold, possess and execute all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee. All references herein to Trustee shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including any successor or substitute appointed and
designated as herein provided) from time to time acting hereunder. 
 13.5. Confirmation of Transfer and Succession. Any new Trustee
appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if
originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Beneficiary or of any successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, any former Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor, substitute or replacement Trustee all of the right, title, estate and interest in the Mortgaged Property of Trustee so ceasing to act, together with all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee,
and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all properties and moneys held by said Trustee hereunder to said successor, substitute or replacement Trustee. 

13.6. Exculpation. Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or otherwise be
responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of law. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by him, or anyone entering by virtue
of the powers herein granted him, upon the Mortgaged Property for debts contracted or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Mortgaged Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or
signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by it hereunder, believed by it in good faith to be genuine. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the
purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law). Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder.

- 14 - 









 13.7. Endorsement and Execution of Documents. Upon Beneficiary’s written request,
Trustee shall, without liability or notice to Grantor, execute, consent to, or join in any instrument or agreement in connection with or necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Credit Documents. Grantor hereby irrevocably designates Trustee as
its attorney in fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver, on Grantor’s behalf and in Grantor’s name, all instruments or agreements necessary to implement any provision(s) of this Deed of Trust or to further perfect the lien created by this
Deed of Trust on the Mortgaged Property. This power of attorney shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall survive any disability of Grantor. 

13.8. Multiple Trustees. If Beneficiary appoints multiple trustees, then any Trustee, individually, may exercise all powers granted to
Trustee under this instrument, without the need for action by any other Trustee(s). 
 13.9. No Required Action. Trustee shall not be
required to take any action under this Deed of Trust or to institute, appear in or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in connection therewith where in his opinion such action will be likely to involve him in expense or liability, unless
requested so to do by a written instrument signed by Beneficiary and, if Trustee so requests, unless Trustee is tendered security and indemnity satisfactory to him against any and all costs, expense and liabilities arising therefrom. Trustee shall
not be responsible for the execution, acknowledgment or validity of the Loan Documents, or for the proper authorization thereof, or for the sufficiency of the lien and security interest purported to be created hereby, and makes no representation in
respect thereof or in respect of the rights, remedies and recourses of Beneficiary. 
 13.10. Terms of Trustee’s Acceptance.
Trustee accepts the trust created by this Deed of Trust upon the following terms and conditions: 
 (a) Delegation. Trustee may
exercise any of its powers through appointment of attorney(s) in fact or agents. 
 (b) Security. Trustee shall be under no
obligation to take any action upon any Event of Default unless furnished security or indemnity, in form satisfactory to Trustee, against costs, expenses, and liabilities that Trustee may incur. 

(c) Costs and Expenses. Grantor shall reimburse Trustee, as part of the Obligations secured hereunder, for all reasonable
disbursements and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by reason of or arising from an Event of Default and as provided for in this Deed of Trust, including any of the foregoing incurred in Trustee’s administering
and executing the trust created by this Deed of Trust and performing Trustee’s duties and exercising Trustee’s powers under this Deed of Trust.

pursuant to this Section 2.2 and (ii) any existing account with respect to which the Depositary shall have provided notice of a change in name and/or account number pursuant to Section 2.4(a), the “Depositary
Accounts”) in the name of the Borrower, which accounts shall be maintained at all times after the establishment thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until (i) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with

Secured Parties), and (ii) held in the “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d) or Section 9-104, as applicable, of the UCC) of the Collateral Agent for the purposes and on the terms set forth in this Agreement and
all such amounts shall constitute a part of the Collateral and shall not constitute payment of any Obligations or any other obligation of the Borrower; provided, however, that the Lien on all of the Borrower’s right, title and
interest in, to and under the Debt Service Reserve Account and all amounts on deposit therein or credited thereto (including any DSR Letter of Credit), shall be solely for the benefit of the Lender Parties.

interest in, to and 

  
 4 









 
under (i) each Depositary Account and (ii) all Cash, instruments, investment property, securities, “security entitlements” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC)
and other Financial Assets at any time on deposit in or credited to any Depositary Account, including all income, earnings and distributions thereon and all proceeds, products and accessions of and to any and all of the foregoing, including whatever

(including any DSR Letter of Credit), shall be solely for the benefit of the Lender Parties. 
 Section 2.4. Depositary Accounts
Maintained as UCC “Securities Accounts”. 
 (a) The Depositary hereby agrees and confirms that it has established or will
establish the Depositary Accounts as set forth and defined in this Agreement as and when required to be established pursuant to Section 2.2. The Depositary agrees that (i) each Depositary Account established by the Depositary is and
will be maintained as a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC); (ii) the Borrower is the “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) in respect of the “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC, the “Financial
Assets”) credited to the Depositary Accounts that are “securities accounts”; (iii) all Financial Assets in registered form or payable to or to the order of and credited to any Depositary Account shall be registered in the
name of, payable to or to the order of, or specially endorsed to, the Depositary or in blank, or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Depositary; and (iv) in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any such
Depositary Account be registered in the name of, payable to or to the order of, or endorsed to, the Borrower except to the extent the foregoing have been subsequently endorsed by the Borrower to the Depositary or in blank. Each item of Property
(including a security, security entitlement, investment property, instrument or obligation, share, participation, interest or other property whatsoever) credited to any Depositary Account shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be treated as a
Financial Asset. Until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3, the Collateral Agent shall have “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d)(2) or
Section 9-104(a) (as applicable) of the UCC) of the Depositary Accounts and the Borrower’s “security entitlements” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) with respect
to the Financial Assets credited to the Depositary Accounts. All Property delivered to the Depositary pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly credited to the applicable Depositary Account. The Borrower hereby irrevocably directs, and the
Depositary (in its capacity as securities intermediary) hereby agrees, that the Depositary will comply with all instructions and orders (including “entitlement orders” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) regarding
each Depositary Account and any Financial Asset therein originated by the Collateral Agent without the further consent of the Borrower or any other Person. In the case of a conflict between any instruction or order originated by the Collateral Agent
and any instruction or order originated by the Borrower or any other Person other than a court of competent jurisdiction, the instruction or order originated by the Collateral Agent shall prevail. The Depositary shall not change the name or account
number of any Depositary Account without prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower (which notice shall include the new name and/or account number, as applicable, of such Depositary Account), and shall not change the entitlement
holder. 
 (b) To the extent that the Depositary Accounts are not considered “securities accounts” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC), the Depositary Accounts shall be deemed to be “deposit accounts” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC), which the Borrower shall


  
 5 









 
maintain with the Depositary acting not as a securities intermediary but as a “bank” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC). The Depositary shall credit the
Depositary Accounts with all receipts of interest, dividends and other income received on the Property held in the Depositary Accounts. The Depositary shall administer and manage the Depositary Accounts in strict compliance with all the terms
applicable to the Depositary Accounts pursuant to this Agreement. The Depositary hereby agrees to comply with any and all instructions originated by the Collateral Agent directing disposition of funds and all other Property in the Depositary
Accounts without any further consent of the Borrower or any other Person. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent hereby covenants that, for the benefit
of the Borrower, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent will not originate any instruction or order (including entitlement orders within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) regarding any Depositary
Account, any Financial Asset therein or any other amounts on deposit therein or credited thereto unless and until a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing. 

Section 2.5. Jurisdiction of Depositary. The Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Depositary agree that, for purposes of the
UCC, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other agreement relating to the establishment and operation of the Depositary Accounts, the jurisdiction of the Depositary (in its capacity as the securities intermediary and bank) is

account and as required by applicable law. The Depositary is not party to and shall not execute and deliver, or otherwise knowingly become bound by, any agreement under which the Depositary agrees with any Person other than the Collateral Agent to

Financial Assets or funds standing to the credit of the Depositary Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Collateral Agent, except to the extent of returned
items and charge-backs either for uncollected checks or other items of payment and transfers previously credited to one or more of the Depositary Accounts, and the Borrower and the Collateral Agent hereby authorizes the Depositary to debit the
Depositary Accounts for such amounts.

Loan Party has entered or will enter into any agreement with respect to any Depositary Account or any other Account Collateral, other than this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents. 

Section 2.9. Notice of Adverse Claims. The Depositary hereby represents that, except for the claims and interests of the
Collateral Agent and the Borrower in each of the Depositary Accounts, the Depositary, (a) as of the Effective Date, has no actual knowledge of, and has received no notice of, and (b) as of each date on which any Depositary Account is
established pursuant to this Agreement, has received no notice of, any claim to, or interest in, any Depositary Account or in any other Account

Collateral, the Depositary, upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof, will promptly notify the Collateral Agent and Borrower thereof. 

Section 2.10. Rights and Powers of Collateral Agent. The rights and powers granted to the Collateral Agent by the Secured Parties
have been granted in order to, among other things, perfect their Lien in the Depositary Accounts and the other Account Collateral and to otherwise act as their agent with respect to the matters contemplated hereby. The Collateral Agent shall
exercise such rights and powers as contemplated by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents. 

Section 2.11. Administrative Agent. Each of the Collateral Agent and the Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the Depositary to

 Section 2.12. Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary Guarantor consents to all of the withdrawals and transfers from the
Depositary Accounts set forth herein. Any amounts deposited or caused to be deposited by a Subsidiary Guarantor into any Depositary Account shall, to the extent of such deposit, constitute a distribution by such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Borrower.

 ARTICLE 3. THE DEPOSITARY ACCOUNTS 

Section 3.1. Debt Service Reserve Account. 

(a) Deposits into the Debt Service Reserve Account. On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall fund the Debt Service Reserve Account up
to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement as of the Effective Date with proceeds of the Tranche A Advances and/or a DSR Letter of Credit. Thereafter, the Borrower shall fund the Debt Service Reserve Account up to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement
as of any date of determination with, to the extent available, the proceeds (other than proceeds on deposit in the Construction Disbursement Account) of Delayed Draw Term Advances, Working Capital Advances, a DSR Letter of Credit and/or other Cash.
On each Quarterly Funding Date after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Debt Service Reserve Account, to the extent available from Free Cash Flow of the Borrower Group Parties, an amount (the “DSR
Funding Amount”) equal to no less than the amount (if any) necessary to fund the Debt Service Reserve Account such that the amount then on deposit in or credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account plus the available amounts under all
issued and outstanding DSR Letters of Credit at such time equals or exceeds the Debt Service Reserve Requirement as of such date; provided, that if such amount available from Free Cash Flow of the Borrower is less than the DSR Funding Amount, the
full amount of such available Free Cash Flow shall be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account, it being understood that the failure to fund the full DSR Funding Amount in accordance with this proviso shall not be deemed a Default or Event of
Default hereunder or under the Credit Agreement. 
 (b) Net Interest on Deposits. Net interest, if any, earned on funds on deposit in
the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be accumulated therein and shall be subject to disbursement in accordance with Section 3.1(d). 

  
 7 









 (c) DSR Letters of Credit. Amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account may be
funded from time to time by any DSR Letter of Credit; provided that the Collateral Agent shall make a drawing upon any DSR Letter of Credit if: 

(i) the issuer of such DSR Letter of Credit is not an Acceptable Bank and 30 or more days have elapsed since such issuer ceased
to be an Acceptable Bank and no such DSR Letter of Credit has been replaced (with another DSR Letter of Credit or Cash); or 

(ii) such DSR Letter of Credit will expire within 30 days and either (A) the Collateral Agent has received a notice from
the issuer thereof that such DSR Letter of Credit will not be renewed in accordance with its terms or (B) the Collateral Agent has not received written evidence from the issuer thereof or the Borrower that such DSR Letter of Credit will be
extended or replaced (with another DSR Letter of Credit or Cash) upon or prior to its stated expiration date. 
 Any such drawing shall be in an amount
equal to the lesser of (1) the Debt Service Reserve Requirement at such time minus the sum of (x) the amount of Cash on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account at such time and (y) the remaining Drawing Amounts of any other
DSR Letters of Credit (to the extent such DSR Letters of Credit are issued by an Acceptable Bank and will not expire within 30 days (unless the issuing bank or the Borrower has provided written evidence to the Collateral Agent that any such DSR
Letter of Credit will be extended or replaced upon or prior to its stated expiration date) and (2) the remaining Drawing Amount under such DSR Letter of Credit, and the proceeds of such drawing shall be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve
Account by the Collateral Agent. 
 (d) Disbursements of Excess Amounts from the Debt Service Reserve Account; Reduction in DSR Letters
of Credit. 
 (i) At any time that the sum of the aggregate Drawing Amounts under all DSR Letters of Credit credited to
the Debt Service Reserve Account plus the funds then on deposit in or credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account is greater than the Debt Service Reserve Requirement (an “Excess Reserve Amount”), the Depositary shall
(A) transfer an amount of funds up to the Excess Reserve Amount from the Debt Service Reserve Account to the Borrower for application in accordance with the Loan Documents as specified in a certificate signed by a Responsible Office of the
Borrower (and countersigned by the Administrative Agent), certifying as to the amount of such Excess Reserve Amount (or, if such Excess Reserve Amount is the result of the Borrower providing a DSR Letter of Credit in respect of which neither it nor
any of its Subsidiaries is the account party, such Excess Reserve Amount shall instead be transferred to Holdings (or its designee) as specified in such certificate) and (B) then, if any Excess Reserve Amount remains after giving effect to
clause (A), the Borrower shall be entitled to deliver to the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall thereafter (if it has reasonably determined that such reduction is permitted hereunder) sign or countersign, as applicable, and deliver
to the issuer of any DSR Letter of Credit, a reduction certificate in the form attached to such DSR Letter of Credit or otherwise in a form satisfactory to such issuer in the amount of such remaining Excess Reserve Amount, and the face amount of
such DSR Letter of Credit may be reduced as provided in such certificate. 
 (ii) The Borrower shall instruct the Depositary
to release funds from the Debt Service Reserve Account in the event that the Borrower has provided a DSR Letter of Credit in a stated amount equal to the amount of funds to be released from the Debt Service Reserve Account. Any amounts so released
shall be transferred to the Borrower for application in accordance with the Loan Documents or, if the account party under such DSR Letter of Credit is neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries, to Holdings (or its designee) as specified in a

Credit shall be subject to all of the terms of this Section 3.1.

disbursements from the Construction Disbursement Account or other funds available to the Borrower Group Parties (after giving effect to the payment of O&M Costs and Project Costs (other than Project Costs consisting of Interest Expense or
principal under the Loan Documents) then due and payable) are not anticipated to be, or are not, adequate to pay (x) Interest Expense (including fees) due and payable to the Lender Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or
(y) principal or premium (if any) due and payable to the Lender Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents (any such shortfall, a “Debt Payment Deficiency”), then: 

(i) the Depositary (at the written direction of (A) the Borrower pursuant to a Withdrawal Certificate or (B) if the
Borrower has not so delivered a Withdrawal Certificate by 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which such amounts were due and not paid, the Collateral Agent) shall withdraw from the Debt Service Reserve Account and immediately transfer to the
Administrative Agent, Cash in an amount equal to the Debt Payment Deficiency (or, if less, the aggregate amount of funds then on deposit in or credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account) for application in accordance with such Withdrawal
Certificate or writing, as applicable (1) first, to that portion of the Debt Payment Deficiency that relates to amounts due in clause (x) above and (2) second, to that portion of the Debt Payment Deficiency that relates
to amounts due in clause (y) above, in accordance with the Loan Documents, and if such funds are insufficient to meet the Debt Payment Deficiency, then 

(ii) after giving effect to clause (i), the Collateral Agent shall, if any DSR Letter of Credit is then in effect, make a
drawing on such DSR Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the remaining Debt Payment Deficiency (or, if less, the Drawing Amount under such DSR Letter of Credit) and immediately transfer the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall apply such proceeds (A) first, to that portion of the Debt Payment Deficiency that relates to amounts due in clause (x) above and (B) second, to that portion of the Debt Payment Deficiency that
relates to amounts due in clause (y) above, in accordance with the Loan Documents.

fund the Debt Service Reserve Account on the Effective Date pursuant to Section 3.1(a)). Thereafter, and prior to the date on which Commercial Operations are achieved, the Borrower shall deposit into the Construction Disbursement Account
all proceeds of the Delayed Draw Advances (except to the extent such proceeds are used to fund the Debt Service Reserve Account pursuant to Section 3.1(a)) and all proceeds of the Working Capital Advances permitted to be deposited

Depositary shall not be responsible for determining or reporting such imputed interest.

owner’s) U.S. tax identification number if Form W-9 is provided, or status as a non-U.S. person beneficial owner of the funds if a Form W-8 is provided. In the event the payee is not a Borrower or a party to this Agreement, the Borrower shall
endeavor to obtain from the payee and provide to the Depositary with a duly completed and properly executed IRS Form W-9 (or applicable Form W-8, in the case of a non-U.S. person) from such payee prior to payment being made. The Borrower understands
that, in the event valid U.S. tax forms or other relevant forms are not provided to the Depositary, the tax law may require withholding of tax on disbursements and on a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of the funds.

 (f) Should the Depositary become liable for the payment of taxes, including withholding taxes (including interest and penalties thereon
unless such interest and penalties result from the negligence of the Depositary) relating to any funds, held by it pursuant to this Agreement or any payment made hereunder, the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Depositary for such taxes, interest and
penalties upon written demand accompanied by information reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower supporting the amount and nature of the taxes for which the Depositary has become liable.

employee or independent contractor.

avoiding tax penalties. Any such taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor. 

(i) This Section 3.6 may be amended by the Depositary as necessary and upon notice to the Borrower to conform to tax and regulatory
requirements. The Depositary’s rights under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Depositary.

date of receipt of such notice, the “Trigger Event Date”), notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositary shall thereafter accept all notices and instructions required or permitted to be given to the

terms of the applicable Loan Documents (as notified to the Depositary in writing by the Collateral Agent), in which event the terms of this Section 3.8(a) and Sections 3.8(b) and 3.8(c) shall thereafter be inapplicable to
such Trigger Event. 
 (b) Within three Business Days of a Trigger Event Date, the Depositary shall render an accounting of all amounts in
the Depositary Accounts as of such Trigger Event Date to the Collateral Agent. 
 (c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, from
and after a Trigger Event Date, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to direct the application of all amounts on deposit in or credited to the Depositary Accounts (including with respect to the investment of such amounts), and to otherwise deal
with the Account Collateral, in each case in accordance with the Collateral Documents, without the need for consent of, or any other action by, any Loan Party or any other Person. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after any date on which the Depositary receives written notice from the Collateral Agent
that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and until the Trigger Event Date, the Depositary shall thereafter continue to apply amounts pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 ARTICLE 4. DEPOSITARY 

Section 4.1. Appointment of Depositary; Powers and Immunities. Each of each Loan Party and the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the
Secured Parties) hereby appoints the Depositary to act as the depositary bank hereunder, with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Depositary by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Depositary shall not have any fiduciary duties, other duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties or covenants shall be read against the Depositary. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Depositary shall take all actions as the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, shall direct in writing to it to perform in accordance with the express provisions of this
Agreement. Neither the Depositary nor any of its Affiliates, agents or officers shall be responsible to the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party in this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Secured Party under, this 

  
 17 









 
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other
document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Depositary shall not be (a) required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection
proceeding hereunder or under any other Collateral Document or (b) responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or in connection with any other Collateral Document (except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, the Depositary shall take action under this Agreement only as it shall be directed in writing believed by the Depositary in
good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons. The Depositary may rely on any such writing or instruction that purports to be so signed, and shall have no duty whatsoever to investigate or
verify whether any such signature is genuine or authorized or whether the information therein is genuine or accurate. The Depositary shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Agreement from the
Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any court of competent jurisdiction. The Depositary shall have no obligation to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder. The Depositary may execute or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, legal counsel, custodians or nominees appointed with due care; provided that (i) the Depositary’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Depositary shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent
shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Depositary in connection with the Depositary’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Neither the Depositary nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for
any action taken or omitted under this Agreement or in connection therewith except to the extent caused by the Depositary’s or their gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The
Depositary shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of any Event of Default unless the Depositary shall have received written notice thereof. The rights, privileges, protections and benefits given to the Depositary, including, without
limitation, its rights to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Depositary in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed by the Depositary in accordance herewith to act
hereunder. 
 Section 4.2. Reliance by Depositary. The Depositary shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon and shall not be
bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any written direction of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, or any other notice or other document (including any electronic transmission,
..pdf, cable, telegram, telecopy, telex or other writing) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statement of legal counsel, independent accountants
and other experts selected by the Depositary and shall have no liability for its actions taken thereupon, unless due to the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The
Depositary shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other document or agreement contemplated hereby or thereby. The
Depositary shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement (a) if such action would, in the reasonable opinion of the Depositary, be contrary to applicable law or the terms of this Agreement, or
(b) if such action is not specifically provided for in this Agreement, it shall not have received any such advice or concurrence of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, as it deems reasonably appropriate. The
Depositary shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Collateral Agent or one or more other Secured Parties (to the extent that such other Secured Parties
are authorized pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to direct the Depositary to take or refrain from taking any action), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Secured
Parties. 

  
 18 









 Section 4.3. Court Orders. The Depositary is hereby authorized to obey and comply
with all writs, orders, judgments or decrees issued by any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction affecting any monies, documents or other Property held by the Depositary. The Depositary shall not be liable to any of the parties
hereto or any of the Secured Parties or their successors, heirs or personal representatives by reason of the Depositary’s compliance with such writs, orders, judgments or decrees, notwithstanding such writ, order, judgment or decree is later
reversed, modified, set aside or vacated. 
 Section 4.4. Successor Depositary. 

(a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Depositary as provided below, the Depositary may resign at any time by notifying
the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the
Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Collateral Agent and approved by the Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 days after the retiring Depositary gives
notice of its resignation, then the retiring Depositary may either (i) on behalf of the Collateral Agent with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), appoint a successor Depositary which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York (or a bank having an Affiliate with such an office) having a combined capital and surplus that is not less than $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any
such bank or (ii) apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor depositary or for other appropriate relief. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Depositary hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Depositary and the retiring Depositary shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Depositary’s resignation hereunder,
the provisions of this Article 4 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Depositary. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any corporation into which the Depositary may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Depositary shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of Depositary, shall be the successor of the Depositary hereunder
without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession; provided that
the Depositary shall forthwith notify the parties hereto in writing of any such event. 
 Section 4.5. Compensation;
Indemnification; No Consequential Damages. 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay such compensation to the Depositary as the Borrower and the
Depositary may agree in writing from time to time. Any attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and any Depositary acceptance fees shall be due and payable upon the execution of this
Agreement. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Depositary for the amount of any and all expenses, including the reasonable
fees and expenses for its legal counsel (including the reasonably allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) and any experts or agents incurred by the 

  
 19 









 
Depositary, unless arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Depositary as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with (i) the
administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon any of the Account Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Depositary
hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Borrower to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party agrees to pay, and to hold the Depositary harmless from, and to indemnify the Depositary against,
any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Account Collateral or in connection
with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Depositary as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(c) In addition to the payment of amounts pursuant to clause (b), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated,
each Loan Party agrees to defend (subject to the Indemnitees’ reasonable approval of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, the Depositary and the officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, sub-agents
and Affiliates of the Depositary (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertakings to defend,
indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this clause (c) may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and
satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. 

(d) Any amounts payable by any Loan Party as provided clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4.5
shall be paid within 30 days of the invoice thereof and shall constitute additional Obligations secured by the Collateral Documents. 
 (e)
To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against the Depositary and its Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a
result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Collateral Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any act or
omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Loan Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 

(f) The agreements in this Section 4.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE 5. MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 5.1. Binding Agreement; Assignments. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties (and, with respect to the indemnification provisions hereof, to the benefit of any other Persons entitled to indemnification hereunder). No Loan
Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest herein or all or any portion of the Account Collateral may be assigned or delegated by any Loan Party except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Nothing


  
 20 









 
in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and the Lender Parties and any other Persons entitled to indemnification hereunder) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

Section 5.2. Amendments, etc. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to
any departure by any of the parties hereto herefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of each of the parties hereto and unless the same is otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Any such
amendment, supplement, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specified purpose for which given. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any other Secured Party, the parties hereto may (but shall have no obligation to) amend
or supplement this Agreement: (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Secured Parties; (iii) to make, complete or confirm any grant of
Collateral permitted or required by this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents or any release of any Collateral (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) that is otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the
other applicable Loan Documents; (iv) to correct any typographical errors, drafting mistakes or other similar mistakes that do not modify the intended rights and obligations of the parties hereto; or (v) to establish any account or
sub-account described in the second paragraph of Section 2.2, to provide for deposits into and disbursements from any such account and matters reasonably related thereto. 

Section 5.3. Termination.

occur of (i) the consummation of a Qualified MLP IPO and provided that the Loan Parties are in compliance with Section 8.01(l) of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Account Collateral after giving effect to the termination of this
Agreement or (ii) a Repayment Event has occurred, this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the parties hereto shall terminate, and the Account Collateral hereunder shall be
transferred to a deposit account or a security account in compliance with Section 8.01(l) of the Credit Agreement. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Loan Party for liquidation or reorganization,
should (prior to a Qualified MLP IPO) any Loan Party become insolvent or make an assignment for any benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Borrower’s assets, and shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any portion thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any
obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance, or any portion thereof, had not been made.

Section 2.7, the Depositary hereby waives any right of set-off, combination of accounts, counterclaim or deduction that it may have or hereafter acquired with respect to any amounts held on or credited to deposit from time to time in the
Depositary Accounts or sub-Accounts or with respect to any Permitted Account Investment in accordance with Section 3.5. 

Section 5.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 

Section 5.12. No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder
shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any
other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of


  
 23 









 
the other Loan Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be
construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy. 
 Section 5.13.
Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Depositary shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any obligation hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond its control
(including, without limitation, any provision of any present or future law or regulation or any act of any Governmental Authority, any act of God or war or terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire services or any electronic
communication facility). 
 Section 5.14. Instructions; Verification; Communications. 

(a) All instructions to the Depositary required under this Agreement shall be in writing, in English, delivered to the Depositary in
accordance with Section 5.4 and executed by an authorized person of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The identity of such authorized persons, as well as their specimen signature, title,
telephone number and e-mail address, shall be delivered to the Depositary in the list of authorized signers forms as set forth on Schedule A and shall remain in effect until the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as
applicable, notifies the Depositary of any change thereto. The Depositary, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree that the above constitutes a commercially reasonable security procedure and further agree that the
Depositary shall not comply with any direction or instruction (other than those contained herein or delivered in accordance with this Agreement) from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. 

(b) In the event funds transfer instructions are given, whether in writing, by facsimile, .pdf, e-mail, or otherwise, such funds transfer
instructions should contain a selected test word also evidenced on Schedule A. Test Words must contain at least 8 alphanumeric characters, established at document execution. In addition or in lieu of test words, the Depositary is authorized to seek
confirmation of such instructions by telephone call back to the applicable person(s) set forth on Schedule A and the Depositary may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be the person(s) so designated. To ensure the accuracy of the
instructions it receives, the Depositary may record such call backs. If the Depositary is unable to verify the instruction, or is not satisfied in its sole discretion with the verification it receives, it will not execute the instruction until all
issues have been resolved to its satisfaction. The persons and telephone numbers for call backs may be changed only in writing, signed by an authorized person, actually received and acknowledged by the Depositary. The Depositary, the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree that these security procedures for funds transfers are commercially reasonable. 
 (c)
To help the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When an account
is opened, the Depositary will ask for information that will allow the Depositary to identify relevant parties. The Borrower hereby acknowledges such information disclosure requirements and agrees to comply with all such information disclosure
requests from time to time from the Depositary. 
 (d) In accordance with the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act (the
“Act”), the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may not use the Accounts established herein or other Citibank facilities in the United States to process ‘restricted transactions’ as such term
is defined in 31 CFR Section 132.2(y). Therefore, none of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Person who has an ownership interest in or control over the Depositary


  
 24 









 
Accounts established herein may use it to process or facilitate payments for prohibited internet gambling transactions. For more information about the Act, including the types of transactions
that are prohibited, please refer to the following link: http://www.federalreserve.gov/NEWSEVENTS/PRESS/BCREG/20081112B.HTM. 
 (e)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all e-mail communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Depositary that the Depositary deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information shall be encrypted.
The recipient (the “E-mail Recipient”) of the encrypted email communication will be required to complete a registration process. Instructions on how to register and/or retrieve an encrypted message will be included in the
first secure email sent by the Depositary to the E-mail Recipient. Additional information and assistance on using the encryption technology can be found at Citibank’s Secure Email website at:
www.citigroup.com/citi/citizen/finance/privacy/email.htm or by calling (866) 535-2504 (in the U.S.) or (904) 954-6181. 

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.14 may be amended as reasonably agreed among the Depositary, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent. 
 Section 5.15. Use of Name. The Loan Parties may not place written advertisements (other than, to
the extent constituting an advertisement, disclosure in customary public or private securities offering documentation) which mention “Citibank”, “Citigroup” or “Citi” in its capacity as Depositary by name or the rights,
powers, or duties of the Depository under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Depository.

the Borrower (the “Subject Requisition”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned (whether directly or by reference to another agreement) in the Depositary Agreement. 

SAIC Energy, Environment & Infrastructure, LLC (the “Independent Engineer” or “We”) has discussed
matters set forth in this IE Drawdown Confirmation Certificate, where it deems such discussions to be pertinent, with the [insert name of relevant contractor], the Borrower and appropriate third parties. 

We have reviewed the Subject Requisition, the material development and construction contracts relevant to the construction of the Development
Projects (including, if applicable, any “scope of work” (and other specifications) under such applicable contract), material and data made available to us by the Borrower since the Effective Date and have performed such other review,
observations, examinations or investigations as we believe to be necessary for the purpose of making the certifications set forth herein and in accordance with generally accepted engineering practices. To the extent we have deemed pertinent, we have
visited the Development Projects on a periodic basis and have observed the status of construction progress and, if applicable, startup activities at the Development Projects. 

We last visited the Southampton Facility on [            
    ,             ], Northampton Facility on [                 ,
            ], and the Port of Chesapeake Expansion on [                 ,
            ]. We have reviewed the Construction Budget and invoices from the applicable material construction contractor, other contractors, vendors and other relevant persons. We
have also reviewed each amendment and each other material notice given to or by the Borrower under each material construction contract, including any monthly progress reports provided under such material construction contract. 

On the basis of the foregoing and our review with the understanding and assumption (after due inquiry) that the Independent Engineer has, in
all material respects, been provided true, correct and complete information from such other parties as to the matters set forth herein, the Independent Engineer hereby makes the following certifications to the Depositary and the Administrative

Industry Practices, in accordance with all applicable laws and in conformity with all applicable Governmental Authorizations (including Necessary Permits) on or prior to the Date Certain, and to pay or provide for all other anticipated Project
Costs, as set forth in the Construction Budget. 

  

	 	(b)	Consistent with the Construction Schedule, the Development Projects are scheduled to achieve Commercial Operations in accordance with Prudent Industry Practices, in accordance with all applicable laws and in conformity
with all applicable Governmental Authorizations (including Necessary Permits) on or prior to the Date Certain. 


  
 Exhibit B-2 










	 	(c)	As of such date, all work that has been done on the Development Projects has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and substantially in accordance with the relevant material construction and development
contracts and specifications thereunder and the Construction Budget. 

  

	 	(d)	The Project Costs set forth on Schedule I to the Subject Requisition and are due and payable or reasonably expected to be incurred within the next 45 days 


 

	 	(e)	The payments made with respect to the Subject Requisition are in accordance with the Construction Budget and Construction Schedule. 

  


	 	(f)	To our knowledge, there are no technical or environmental changes to Governmental Authorizations under existing applicable law (including Environmental Laws) as the Development Projects are currently designed and
contemplated to be constructed, owned leased and operated that are or will become Necessary Permits other than [insert description of changes]. 

  

	 	(g)	To our knowledge, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor that owns or leases a Development Project is in compliance with all of its Necessary Permits related to the Development Projects other than [insert
description of any non-compliance]. 

 The person signing this IE Drawdown Confirmation Certificate is a duly
qualified representative of the Independent Engineer and as such is authorized to execute this IE Drawdown Confirmation Certificate on behalf of the Independent Engineer.

entitled to receive hereunder: (1) each Grantor and Holdings shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent
may from time to time reasonably request and (2) each Grantor and Holdings (for Holdings, with respect to the Holdings Collateral only) acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth in Section 6.1.



  
 14 









 For certainty (and without limiting the generality of Section 12), this Section 4.3.1 shall, as it
relates to Holdings, apply to the Holdings Collateral only and shall have no effect on any other properties and assets owned by Holdings.

Each Grantor and Holdings hereby represents and warrants, on the Effective Date, that Schedule 4.3 (as such schedule may be amended or
supplemented from time to time) sets forth under the heading “Pledged Debt” all of the Pledged Debt owned by any Grantor and Holdings and all of such Pledged Debt has been duly authorized, authenticated or issued, and delivered and is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the issuers thereof and is not in default and constitutes all of the issued and outstanding Debt for Borrowed Money. 

4.4 Material Contracts. 

Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that in addition to any rights under the Section of this Agreement relating to Receivables, the
Collateral Agent may at any time, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, notify, or require any Grantor to so notify, the counterparty on any Material Contract of the security interest of the Collateral Agent
therein. 
 4.5 Letter of Credit Rights.

(b) Covenants and Agreements. 

(i) Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that, with respect to any Letter-of-Credit-Rights included in the Collateral (other than any

reasonable efforts to (x) obtain the consent of the issuer thereof to the assignment of the proceeds of the letter of credit to the Collateral Agent and (y) deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed Pledge Supplement, together with all
Supplements to Schedules thereto.

 16 









 4.6 Intellectual Property. 

(a) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 7, each Grantor hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same
may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents that limit the rights of
any Grantor to dispose of its Property, so long as no instruction by the Collateral Agent acting at the direction of the Secured Parties has been delivered in connection with the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor may
exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of the business of such Grantor. In furtherance of the foregoing, so long as no such
instruction has been delivered in connection with the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon the request and at the expense of the applicable Grantor, execute and deliver any
instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, that such Grantor shall have certified are appropriate (in its judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided
pursuant to the first sentence of this section (b) as to any specific Intellectual Property). Further, upon the release of the Liens on the Collateral in accordance with the terms of Section 8 of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall
transfer to the applicable Grantor the license granted pursuant to section (a) above. The exercise of rights and remedies under Section 7 by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses
theretofore granted by any Grantor in accordance with the first sentence of this section (b). 
 (c) At any time after an instruction by the
Collateral Agent acting at the direction of the Secured Parties has been delivered in connection with the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral
Agent a schedule listing all Intellectual Property and take such other action as the Collateral Agent shall deem necessary to perfect the Liens created hereunder in all such Collateral.

knowledge, such Grantor has no Commercial Tort Claims which could reasonably be expected to result in an award for damages in excess of $2,000,000 and additional Commercial Tort Claims as to which such Grantor has complied with clause
(b) below. 
 (b) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that, with respect to any Commercial Tort
Claim of such Grantor hereafter arising which could reasonably be expected to result in an award for damages in excess of $2,000,000, it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed Pledge Supplement, together with all Supplements to Schedules
thereto, identifying such new Commercial Tort Claims. 

  
 17 









 4.8 Securities Accounts, Securities Entitlements, Deposit Accounts, Commodity Contracts and
Commodity Accounts. 
 (a) Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants, on the Effective Date,
that Schedule 4.3 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) sets forth under the appropriate headings thereof all of such Grantor’s: (1) Securities Accounts, (2) Deposit Accounts and (3) Commodity
Contracts and Commodity Accounts, in each case, other than any Securities Accounts, Deposit Accounts, Commodity Contracts and Commodity Accounts which constitute Excluded Property. 

(b) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that: 

(i) with respect to any Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Security Entitlements, Commodity Accounts and Commodity Contracts included in
the Collateral (and, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any of the foregoing which constitute Excluded Property), each Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, shall ensure that the Collateral Agent has Control thereof; 

(ii) with respect to any Securities Accounts or Securities Entitlements included in the Collateral, such Control shall be accomplished by the
applicable Grantor causing the Securities Intermediary maintaining such Securities Account or Securities Entitlements to enter into an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (or such other agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) pursuant to which such Securities Intermediary shall agree to comply with the Collateral Agent’s entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) without further consent by such
Grantor or Holdings; 
 (iii) with respect to any Deposit Account included in the Collateral, such Control shall be accomplished by the
applicable Grantor causing the depositary institution maintaining such Deposit Account to enter into an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto (or such other agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent), pursuant to which the Bank (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC) shall agree to comply with the Collateral Agent’s instructions with respect to disposition of funds in the Deposit Account without further consent by
such Grantor; and 
 (iv) with respect to any Commodity Accounts or Commodity Contracts included in the Collateral, each Grantor shall cause
Control in favor of the Collateral Agent in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing or any
other provision of the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Depositary Agreement shall be deemed to meet the requirements of this Section 4.8 solely with respect to the Depositary Accounts governed by, and subject to, the Depositary Agreement
for so long as such Depositary Accounts are governed by the Depositary Agreement. 

  
 18 










	SECTION 5.	FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL GRANTORS. 

 5.1 Further Assurances. 

(a) Each Grantor and Holdings agrees that, from time to time at the expense of the Grantors, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted
or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor and Holdings shall: 

(i) file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, record security interests in intellectual property,
and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests
granted or purported to be granted hereby; and 
 (ii) take all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate
evidence of the liens and security interest granted hereunder in the Intellectual Property with any intellectual property registry in which said Intellectual Property is registered or in which an application for registration is pending including the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, the various Secretaries of State, and the foreign counterparts on any of the foregoing. 

(b) Each Grantor and Holdings hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file a Record or Records, including financing or continuation
statements, intellectual property security agreements and amendments thereto, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to
the Collateral Agent herein. Any such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of the Collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably determine is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein, including describing such property of any Grantor (but not
Holdings) as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” Holdings authorizes the Collateral Agent in any such financing statements to use the collateral descriptions of Holdings Collateral
set forth in Section 2.1(b), but such collateral description does not have to exclude or describe as excluded in such collateral description any Excluded Property. Each Grantor and Holdings shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to
time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail. 

  
 19 









 5.2 Additional Grantors. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional
Persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”) or as an additional Holdings (each, an “Additional Holdings”) by executing a Pledge Supplement. Upon delivery of
any such Pledge Supplement to the Collateral Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by the Grantors and Holdings, an Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and an Additional Holdings shall become a Holdings, as applicable, and shall be as fully a
party hereto as if such Additional Grantor or Additional Holdings, as applicable, were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor and Holdings expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the
addition or release of any other Grantor or any other Holdings, as applicable, hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor or any Holdings that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or
fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor or a Holdings hereunder. 
  

	SECTION 6.	COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. 

 6.1 Power of Attorney. Until the
Discharge of Obligations, each Grantor and Holdings hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor or Holdings,
as applicable, and in the name of such Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may
deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the following: 
 (a) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents; 

(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover,
compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; 

(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other
instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b) above; 
 (d) upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the
Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; 

  
 20 









 (e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor or
Holdings, as applicable, as debtor; 
 (f) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry,
appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Intellectual Property in the name of such Grantor as debtor; 

(g) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary
to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or
validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent, any such payments made by the Collateral Agent to become obligations of such Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, to the Collateral
Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; and 
 (h) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the
Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s or Holdings’, as applicable, expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor or Holdings, as the case may be, might do. 

6.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to
protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable
only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor or Holdings for any act or failure to act
hereunder, except in the case of their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
  

	SECTION 7.	REMEDIES. 

 7.1 Generally. 

(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition
to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce
or satisfy any Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously: 

(i) require any Grantor or Holdings to, and each Grantor and Holdings hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly
upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably
convenient to both parties; 

  
 21 









 (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession
thereof with or without judicial process; 
 (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or
recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and 

(iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive
basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for Cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at
such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion may deem commercially reasonable. 
 (b)
The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized
market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and
making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to, use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any
Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor or Holdings, and each Grantor and Holdings hereby waives (to the
extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor and Holdings agrees that, to
the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor or Holdings, as the case may be, of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the
time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor and Holdings agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose
of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each
Grantor and Holdings hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent 

  
 22 









 
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the
Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Obligations, the Grantors (but not
Holdings) shall be liable for the deficiency and the reasonable and documented fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor and Holdings further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants
contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be
specifically enforceable against such Grantor and Holdings, and such Grantor and Holdings hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has
occurred giving rise to the Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder. 

(c) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically
disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. 

(d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral. 

(e) Except as permitted by Section 8.01(l)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, until the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the
Collateral Agent shall not: (i) issue any instructions to any issuer of any Uncertificated Securities included in the Collateral, (ii) issue any instructions, entitlement orders or directions to any Securities Intermediary with respect to
any Securities Accounts or Securities Entitlements included in the Collateral, or (iii) issue any instructions to any financial institution maintaining any Deposit Account included in the Collateral, other than, with respect to the foregoing
clauses (ii) and (iii), as permitted in the Depositary Agreement. 
 7.2 Application of Proceeds.  

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral or any proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale
or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral and proceeds thereof shall be applied in the following order (it being agreed that the Collateral Agent shall apply such amounts in the following order as promptly as is reasonably
practicable after the receipt thereof; provided that such amounts shall not be so applied until such time as the amount of the Obligations has been determined in accordance with the terms hereof, under the terms of the relevant Loan
Documents, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements, Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements (subject to Section 7.2(b))): 

first, on a pro rata basis, to the payment of all amounts due to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Depositary
and the LC Facility Issuing Banks (in such capacities) under any of the Loan Documents, excluding in the case of the LC Facility Issuing Banks, amounts payable in connection with any Unreimbursed Amount under any LC Facility Letter of Credit; 

  
 23 









 second, on a pro rata basis to any Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or
paid any fees to any Agent or LC Facility Issuing Bank, other than any amounts covered by priority first, an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party and for which such Secured Party has not been previously
reimbursed; 
 third, on a pro rata basis, to the payment of, without duplication, (i) any Interest Expense and all
principal and other amounts then due and payable in respect of the Obligations (including Cash Collateralization (at 102% of the Available Amount thereof, to the extent not already funded in such amount) of all outstanding LC Facility Letters of
Credit) under any Loan Document, (ii) the payment of all Obligations then due and payable to any Lender Counterparty under any Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreement (including any Interest Expense due and payable in respect thereof),
(iii) the payment of all Obligations then due and payable to any Lender Counterparty under any Secured Commodity Hedge Agreement (including any Interest Expense due and payable in respect thereof), (iv) the payment of all Obligations then
due and payable to any Lender Counterparty under any Secured Cash Management Agreement and (v) all other Obligations due to any Secured Party; and 

last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full in Cash, to the Grantors and Holdings or as otherwise
required by applicable law; 
 provided, however, that if, for any reason, a Secured Party does not have a valid and perfected
Lien (either directly or through the Collateral Agent) on any portion of the Collateral but was entitled to such Lien pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, any proceeds on such portion of Collateral received by the other Secured Parties will
be paid over by them to such Secured Party to the extent necessary to reflect the distribution provisions above as if all Secured Parties held such a Lien. 

(b) Upon receipt of any of the monies referred to in Section 7.2(a), the Collateral Agent shall promptly provide notice to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender Counterparty of the receipt of such monies. Within 10 Business Days of the receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Counterparty shall give the Collateral Agent written certification by an
authorized officer or representative thereof of the aggregate amount of the Obligations then outstanding owed by any Grantor or Holdings to the Secured Parties represented by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Counterparty under the applicable
Loan Documents, Secured Cash Management Agreement, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreement or Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreement to be certified to as presently due and owing (and, promptly upon receipt thereof, the Collateral Agent shall provide a
copy of each such certification to the Administrative Agent and each Lender Counterparty). Unless otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction or the Administrative Agent and each Lender Counterparty, the Collateral Agent shall use the
information provided for in such notices as the basis for applying such monies in accordance with Section 7.2(a). 

  
 24 









 7.3 Sales on Credit. If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the
applicable Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the
Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and the applicable Grantor or Holdings, as the case may be, shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. 

7.4 Investment Related Property. Each Grantor and Holdings recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment
Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor and Holdings acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made
pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor and Holdings agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale
requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment
Related Property, upon written request, the applicable Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, shall and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each issuer of any Pledged Equity Interests to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each
limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment
Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. 

7.5 Intellectual Property. 

(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default: 

(i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or
proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all
lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the 

  
 25 









 
Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 10 in connection with the
exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by
action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding
against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or violation; 
 (ii) upon written demand
from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Agent or such Collateral Agent’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and
shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement; 

(iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Obligations outstanding only
to the extent that the Collateral Agent (or any other Secured Party) receives Cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property; 

(iv) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to
amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral Agent, and, upon
such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done; 

(v) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by each Grantor in respect of amounts due to
such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the
Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as Cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.6; and 

(vi) such Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly
any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon. 
 (b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by
reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any rights, title
and interests in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Obligations

shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole
cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may
have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided that, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted
hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further that the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the
Secured Parties. 
 (c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7
and at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable
without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use,
operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located. 

7.6 Cash Proceeds. Subject to the provisions of the Depositary Agreement, any Cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties and all Cash proceeds of any Collateral, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.2 of this Agreement. 

7.7 Deposit Accounts. Subject to the provisions of the Depositary Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply the balance from any Deposit Account included in the Collateral, or instruct the Bank at which any such Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any such Deposit Account, in accordance with
Section 7.2 of this Agreement. 
  

	SECTION 8.	CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF ADVANCES. 

 This Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of Obligations, be binding upon each Grantor and Holdings, their respective successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of any Loan Document, any Secured Party may
assign or otherwise transfer any Obligations held by or due to it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise. Upon the Discharge
of Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall 

  
 27 









 
automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor or Holdings, as applicable. Upon any such termination and the written
request of the applicable Grantor or Holdings, the Collateral Agent shall, at such applicable Grantor’s or Holdings’, as the case may be, expense, (x) promptly cause to be transferred and delivered, without any recourse, warranty or
representation whatsoever, any Collateral and any proceeds received in respect thereof and (y) execute and deliver to such Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, or otherwise authorize the filing of, such UCC termination statements and other
documentation as the Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, shall reasonably request to effect the termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral. Subject to any requirements of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation,
Section 12.05 of the Credit Agreement, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Collateral Agent shall execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any Collateral to the extent the relevant
Secured Parties have consented to such release in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. 
  

	SECTION 9.	STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM. 

 The powers conferred on the Collateral
Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting
for moneys actually received by it hereunder and other requirements of law or the UCC, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining to any Collateral. To the extent permitted by law, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of
the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor, Holdings or otherwise. If any Grantor or Holdings fails to perform any agreement contained
herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, under this
Agreement. 
  

	SECTION 10.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

 10.1 Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice
required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision
in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of 

  
 28 









 
the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor, Holdings and their respective successors and assigns. Neither any Grantor nor Holdings shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, assign any right, duty or
obligation hereunder. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall
be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are
physically attached to the same document. 
 10.2 Each Grantor’s and Holdings’ respective waiver of rights or agreements in
respect of Collateral, the exercise of remedies, standards of care, notice and the other matters covered by Sections 6 through 9 are, in each case, qualified that such waivers or agreements are being made to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

10.3 If any Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the
estate of the Borrower or any other Loan Party any amount paid in respect of the Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such Secured Party shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Obligations with respect to all such recovered
amounts. In such event, (a) the Discharge of Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred and (b) if this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and
such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. 
  

	SECTION 11.	GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. 

 11.1 Governing Law. This
Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles that would result in the

RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST SUCH PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 

11.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN SUCH PARTY, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDER PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL

MODIFICATIONS HERETO. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

Agreement, no property or assets of Holdings, or Holdings’ right or ability to own, operate, maintain, transfer or take any other action with respect to such property or assets, other than the Holdings Collateral, shall be subject to or in any

UNCERTIFICATED SECURITIES CONTROL AGREEMENT 

This Uncertificated Securities Control Agreement, dated as of
[            ], 20[    ] (this “Agreement”), is entered into among
[                    ] (the “Pledgor”), BARCLAYS BANK PLC, as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (the
“Collateral Agent”), and [                    ], a
[                    ]
[                    ] (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned in the
Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2012 (as it may be from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Security Agreement”), among ENVIVA MLP HOLDCO LLC, ENVIVA GP, LLC,
ENVIVA, LP, the Pledgor, the other Grantors named therein and BARCLAYS BANK PLC as the Collateral Agent. All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.

 Section 1. Registered Ownership of Shares; Notice of Security Interest. The Issuer hereby confirms and agrees that as of the
date hereof, the Pledgor is the registered owner of [                ] shares of the Issuer’s [common] stock (the “Pledged
Shares”) and the Issuer shall not change the registered owner of the Pledged Shares without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. The Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the Issuer are entering into this Agreement to perfect, and
to confirm the priority of, the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Shares, and all additions thereto and substitutions and proceeds thereof (collectively, with the Pledged Shares, the “Collateral”). The Issuer
acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes written notification to the Issuer of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. The Issuer agrees to promptly make all necessary entries or notations in its books and records to
reflect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and, upon request by the Collateral Agent, to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of any or all of the Pledged Shares. The Issuer acknowledges that the
Collateral Agent has control over the Collateral. 
 Section 2. Instructions. If at any time the Issuer shall receive
instructions originated by the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral, the Issuer shall comply with such instructions without further consent by the Pledgor or any other person. 

Section 3. Additional Representations and Warranties of the Issuer. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants to the Collateral
Agent: 
 (a) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other person
relating to the Pledged Shares or the Collateral pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with instructions issued by such other person; and 

(b) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Pledgor or the Collateral
Agent purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Issuer to comply with instructions as set forth in Section 2 hereof. 

(c) Except for the claims and interest of the Collateral Agent and of the Pledgor in the Collateral, the Issuer does not know of any claim to,
or interest in, the Collateral. If any person 

  
 EXHIBIT B-1 









 
asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any of the Collateral, the Issuer will
promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor thereof. 
 (d) This Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the
Issuer. 
 (e) The Pledged Shares are uncertificated securities. 

(f) The issuer’s jurisdiction is, and during the term of this Agreement shall remain, the State of
[            ]. 
 (g) Schedule 1 contains a true and complete
description of the Pledged Shares as of the date hereof. 
 Section 4. Choice of Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations
of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the
State of New York. 
 Section 5. Conflict with Other Agreements. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any
portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless
it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto. 
 Section 6. Voting Rights. Until such time as the Collateral
Agent shall otherwise instruct the Issuer in writing, the Pledgor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Shares. 
 Section 7.
Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate successors or heirs and personal representatives who obtain such rights solely by
operation of law. The Collateral Agent may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without the express written consent of the Issuer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and without sending
written notice of such assignment to the Pledgor; provided that no such consent will be required for the Collateral Agent to assign, transfer or delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to any replacement Collateral Agent. Neither the Pledgor
nor the Issuer may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the express written consent of the Collateral Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and any such assignment, transfer
or delegation without such consent shall be null and void. 
 Section 8. Indemnification of Issuer. The Pledgor and the
Collateral Agent hereby agree that (a) the Issuer is released from any and all liabilities to the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent arising from the terms of this Agreement and the compliance of the Issuer with the terms hereof, except to the
extent that such liabilities arise from the Issuer’s negligence and (b) the Pledgor, its successors and assigns shall at all times indemnify and save harmless the Issuer from and against any and all claims, actions and suits of others
arising out of the terms of this Agreement or the compliance of the Issuer with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such 

  
 EXHIBIT B-2 









 
arises from the Issuer’s negligence, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees and other expenses of every nature and character arising by

the Secured Parties (together with its successors and assigns, the “Collateral Agent”), and [                    ], in its
capacity as a “securities intermediary” as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC (in such capacity, the “Securities Intermediary”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto
in the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2012 (as it may be from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Security Agreement”), among ENVIVA MLP HOLDCO LLC, ENVIVA GP,
LLC, ENVIVA, LP, the Debtor, the other Grantors named therein and BARCLAYS BANK PLC, as the Collateral Agent. All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New

Collateral Agent; 
 (b) All securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to the Securities Account shall be
registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset

 (c) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Security Agreement will be promptly credited to the

Intermediary shall receive any entitlement order, instruction or direction from the Collateral Agent directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Securities Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such

purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) and the Securities Account (as well as the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be
governed by the laws of the State of New York.

hereby confirms and agrees that: 
 (i) There are no other control agreements entered into between the Securities
Intermediary and the Debtor with respect to the Securities Account; 
 (ii) It has not entered into, and until the

Intermediary will promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Debtor thereof.

instruction with respect to the Securities Account solely from the Collateral Agent. Until such time as the Securities Intermediary receives such Notice, the Securities Intermediary may act on any direction originated by the Debtor with respect to
the Securities Account. 
 (b) Statements and Confirmations. The Securities Intermediary will promptly send copies of all statements,
confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Securities Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Debtor and the Collateral Agent at the address for each set forth in Section 12 of this

that the foregoing claims, actions, liabilities, losses, damages costs, charges, counsel fees and other expenses arise from the Securities Intermediary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 2.01 Equity Contributions. 

(a) Contributions by Sponsor. The Sponsor hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent on behalf of the
Secured Parties, as follows: 
 (i) On or before the date each Delayed Draw Advance is funded pursuant to
Section 2.01(b) of the Credit Agreement (and as a condition to such funding as set forth in Section 6.02(c) of the Credit Agreement) (such date, the “Delayed Draw Advance Date”), the Sponsor shall

 (ii) Any payment in cash by the Fund into the Construction Equity Account or, in the
event that payment to the Construction Equity Account is prohibited by law or legal process, to the Collateral Agent under the Fund Guarantee to fund an Equity Contribution on behalf of the Sponsor, shall satisfy the funding obligation of the
Sponsor in respect of the portion of any Equity Contribution Amount funded by such payment in Cash. 
 (iii) Within ten
(10) Business Days after receipt by the Sponsor of the Equity Draw Trigger Notice, the Sponsor shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, aggregate Equity Contributions equal to the Remaining Construction Equity Commitment in Dollars and in
immediately available funds directly into the Construction Equity Account (such Equity Contribution, an “Equity Draw Trigger Contribution”). 

(iv) In the event that the Sponsor shall have failed to deposit into the Construction Equity Account all or any portion of the
Equity Contribution Amount required to be made by the Sponsor in accordance with Section 2.01(a)(i) and ten (10) Business Days shall have elapsed or in accordance with Section 2.01(a)(iii), the Collateral
Agent may, in its sole discretion (and shall, if directed by the Administrative Agent), make a demand under the Fund Guarantee to fund any such Equity Contribution not made by the Sponsor. 

  
 4 









 (b) Treatment of Proceeds. 

(i) If for any reason (including due to any applicable legal requirement), any Equity Contribution cannot be transferred to the
Construction Equity Account, the Sponsor shall cause such amount to be transferred to the Collateral Agent for application in accordance with the Loan Documents. 

(ii) Notwithstanding that the Equity Contributions may be transferred directly to the Collateral Agent, any and all Equity
Contributions made in accordance with the terms hereof, including any payments made pursuant to the Fund Guarantee, shall be deemed to be Equity Contributions by the Sponsor (or its direct or indirect subsidiary) to the Borrower. All Equity
Contributions shall be made without set-off or counterclaim. 
 (c) Maximum Contribution Amount. Subject to
Section 3.01, in no event shall the aggregate Equity Contributions exceed the Construction Equity Commitment. 

ARTICLE III. 
 SPECIFIC
PROVISIONS 
 Section 3.01 Reinstatement. This Agreement and the obligations of the Sponsor hereunder shall automatically be
reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any Equity Contribution made pursuant to this Agreement is rescinded or otherwise restored to the Sponsor, whether as a result of any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise with respect to the Borrower
or any other person or as a result of any settlement or compromise with any person (including the Sponsor) in respect of such payment, and the Sponsor shall pay the Collateral Agent on demand all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs
and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees of outside counsel) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such rescission or restoration. 

Section 3.02 Specific Performance. To the extent it may do so under applicable legal requirements, the Collateral Agent may demand
specific performance of this Agreement. The Sponsor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent the Sponsor may do so under applicable legal requirements, any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that may be asserted as a bar to the remedy
of specific performance in any action brought against the Sponsor for specific performance of this Agreement by the Collateral Agent or any successor or assign thereof or for its benefit by a receiver, custodian or trustee appointed for the Borrower
or in respect of all or a substantial part of its assets, under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of any jurisdiction to which the Borrower or its assets are subject.

proceedings, or any successor provision of law or similar import, in the event of any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or winding-up (an “Insolvency
Proceeding”) with respect to any Loan Party. Specifically, in the event that the trustee (or similar official) in an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party or the debtor-in-possession takes any action (including the
institution of any action, suit or other proceeding for the purpose of enforcing the rights of such Loan Party under this Agreement), the Sponsor shall not assert any defense, claim or counterclaim denying liability hereunder on the basis that this

equivalent provisions of the laws or regulations of any other jurisdiction with respect to any proceedings or any successor provision of law of similar import. If an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party shall occur, the Sponsor
agrees, after the occurrence of such Insolvency Proceeding, to reconfirm in writing, to the extent permitted by applicable legal requirements, its pre-petition waiver of any protection to which it may be
entitled under Sections 365(c)(1), 365(c)(2) and 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or equivalent provisions of the laws or regulations of any other jurisdiction with respect to proceedings and, to give effect to such waiver, the Sponsor
consents, to the extent permitted by applicable legal requirements, to the assumption and enforcement of each provision of this Agreement by the debtor-in-possession or the applicable Loan Party’s trustee in bankruptcy.

 Section 6.02 Insolvency Proceedings. None of the obligations of the Sponsor under
this Agreement shall be altered, limited or affected by any Insolvency Proceeding relating to any Loan Party or the Sponsor, or by any defense which any Loan Party or the Sponsor may have by reason of any order, decree or decision of any court or
administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.03 Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable legal requirements or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the failure of the Sponsor to make any Equity Contribution as and when required hereunder, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized at
any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Sponsor or to any other person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits
(general or special) at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party (including by branches and agencies of the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Sponsor, against
and on account of the obligations of the Sponsor under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have made any demand hereunder. 

ARTICLE VII. 
 PURCHASE
OF PARTICIPATING INTEREST 
 Section 7.01 Required Purchase of Participating Interest. If by reason of an Insolvency
Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party or the Sponsor, or any act of a Governmental Authority, (a) any Equity Contribution due hereunder has not been deposited in the Construction Equity Account or transferred to the Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, within five (5) Business Days after the date on which such amount is payable hereunder, or (b) any Equity Contribution theretofore deposited or transferred pursuant to Section 2.01 is rescinded or otherwise
restored to the Sponsor or the Fund and five (5) Business Days have elapsed after the date that such Equity Contribution was rescinded or otherwise restored (such Equity Contribution, whether required but not made as provided in
clause (a) or made and returned as provided in clause (b), being herein called the “Defaulted Payment”), the Sponsor shall, without any further notice or demand by the Collateral Agent, purchase an undivided
participating interest in each of the Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments then outstanding, as provided in the following sentence, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the Defaulted Payment. The
Sponsor’s purchase of an undivided participating interest in such Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments shall be made pro rata among such Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments
based on the respective outstanding amounts thereof. The Sponsor shall effect its purchase of undivided participating interests in such Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments pursuant to this
Section 7.01 by paying to the Collateral Agent, for the account of the holders of such Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments, in immediately available funds in Dollars, the amount of the Defaulted
Payment. 
 Section 7.02 Effect of Purchase of Participating Interests. The Sponsor’s purchase of an undivided
participating interest in the Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and 

  
 9 









 
Commitments in the full amount (if any) required pursuant to Section 7.01 following a Defaulted Payment in respect of Equity Contributions, shall satisfy the Sponsor’s
obligation pursuant to Section 2.01 to make Equity Contributions to the extent of the amount of such Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments so purchased by the Sponsor. 

Section 7.03 Subordinate Nature of Participating Interest. The Sponsor hereby agrees that its participating interest in the
Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments purchased by it pursuant to Section 7.01 shall be subordinate in all respects to the interest in such Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and
Commitments retained by the holders (other than the Sponsor) thereof (the “Retained Interest”), so that all payments received or collected on account of such Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments
and applied to the payment or termination thereof, whether received or collected through repayment of such Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments by any Loan Party or through right of set-off with respect thereto or
realization upon any collateral security therefor or otherwise, shall first be applied to the payment of the principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due (whether at its stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) on the Retained Interest
until such principal, interest, fees and other amounts are paid in full, before any such payments are applied on account of the Sponsor’s participating interest in such Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments. 

Section 7.04 Rights of Lender Parties. Notwithstanding the purchase and ownership by the Sponsor of participating interests in the
Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments, and notwithstanding the rights of participants under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Lender Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion in each
instance and without any notice to the Sponsor, (a) to agree to the modification or waiver of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (but not to reduce any amount payable in respect
of the portion of the Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments subject to participations purchased pursuant to Section 7.01), (b) to consent to any action or failure to act by any Loan Party, the
Fund or the Sponsor or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and (c) to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights or remedies which any Lender Party may have under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating
thereto, including the right at any time to declare, or refrain from declaring, the Obligations due and payable upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and to rescind and annul any such declaration, and to foreclose and sell or exercise any
other remedy, or refrain from foreclosing and selling or exercising any other remedy, with respect to any collateral securing the Obligations. No Lender Party shall be liable to the Sponsor for any error in judgment or for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it while the Sponsor holds a participating interest in the Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Lender Party shall have any duty or
responsibility to provide the Sponsor with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party or any other party to a Loan Document which may come into their possession or the possession of any
of their respective Affiliates, or to notify the Sponsor of any Default or Event of Default, or any default by any Loan Party, the Fund or any other Person under any of the Loan Documents. 

  
 10 









 Section 7.05 No Voting Rights. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of
Section 7.04, in determining whether the required consent of the Lenders (or any portion thereof) has been obtained for all purposes under the Loan Documents (but not to reduce any amount payable in respect of the portion of the
Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments subject to participations purchased pursuant to Section 7.01), the participating interests in the Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and
Commitments purchased by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 7.01 shall not be deemed to be outstanding. 
 Section 7.06
Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Sponsor under this Article VII to purchase participating interests in the Advances, LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and Commitments, as the case may be, are
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any other circumstance, including any circumstance of the nature described in Sections 4.01 or 4.02.

CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT 
 This
CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT, dated as of November 9, 2012 (this “Consent”), is by and among Drax Power Limited (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “Contracting Party”), Barclays Bank PLC, as
collateral agent (together with its designee(s) or permitted successors and assigns in such capacity, “Collateral Agent”) for the secured parties (the “Secured Parties”) under the Collateral Agreement (as defined
below), and Enviva, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “Company”). 

RECITALS 
 A. Company
owns, operates or uses biomass production facilities and port facilities in the eastern and southeastern United States (the “Facilities”). 

B. The Company has entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2012 (as further amended, restated, refinanced or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Company, certain of its affiliates, Collateral Agent, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto, and each of the agents and arrangers listed on
the signature pages thereto. 
 C. Contracting Party and Company have entered into that certain Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of
Biomass CIF Discharge Port, dated as of December 23, 2011 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, the “Assigned Agreement”). 

D. Pursuant to a guarantee and collateral agreement executed by Company, certain of its affiliates and Collateral Agent (as amended, restated,
refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Collateral Agreement”), Company has agreed to assign, as collateral security for its obligations under the Credit Agreement and any refinancing thereof (whether through the
issuance of debt securities or otherwise) (the “Secured Obligations”), all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Assigned Agreement to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. 

AGREEMENT 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

Contracting Party consents to the collateral assignment under the Collateral Agreement of all of Company’s right, title and interest in,
to and under the Assigned Agreement (collectively, the “Assigned Interests”). Collateral Agent shall promptly notify Contracting Party in writing that it has exercised its rights of foreclosure of the Assigned Interest or the
foreclosure of the equity interests in Company (an “Enforcement Action”) and, upon Contracting Party’s receipt of such notice, (i) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, in the place and stead of the Company, to exercise
any and all rights of the Company under the Assigned Interests in accordance with the terms of the Assigned Agreement, and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay all sums due under the Assigned Agreement and to perform any other act,
duty or obligation required of the Company 

  
 -1- 









 
thereunder, or (ii) the Collateral Agent may assign the Assigned Agreement to any entity, including Collateral Agent, that may legally enter into the Assigned Agreement (a
“Subsequent Owner”). The Collateral Agent shall give prompt notice to the Contracting Party of any such assignment. The Contracting Party agrees that, subject to compliance with the cure provisions of this Consent, (a) it will
continue to perform its obligations under the Assigned Agreement in the same manner it performed them as to the Company, and (b) no such foreclosure or assignment shall by itself constitute a breach of or default under the Assigned Agreement.

 If Company defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under the Assigned Agreement, Contracting Party will give written notice
of such default to Collateral Agent and thereafter afford Collateral Agent the opportunity to cure such default within the periods specified in the Assigned Agreement. 

Contracting Party acknowledges and agrees that neither Collateral Agent nor the Secured Parties shall have any liability or obligation under
the Assigned Agreement as a result of this Consent except during any period in which Collateral Agent is a Subsequent Owner or elects to exercise any performance obligations of the Company under the Assigned Agreement; provided that neither
Collateral Agent nor the Secured Parties shall have any personal liability to Contracting Party under the Assigned Agreement, and the sole recourse of Contracting Party in seeking enforcement of such obligations shall be to the interest of
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in the Facilities; provided, further, however, that nothing herein shall in any way limit the right of the Contracting Party to terminate the Assigned Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
(as defined in the Assigned Agreement). 
 If the Collateral Agent or Subsequent Owner notifies Contracting Party that it has succeeded to
the Company’s interest under the Assigned Agreement, such person shall assume liability for the Company’s obligations under the Assigned Agreement and shall cure all defaults under the Assigned Agreement which are reasonably capable of
being cured by such person. The failure to cure such defaults shall, irrespective of any assignment or transfer, continue to give rise to the right of exercise of remedies under the Assigned Agreement until cured. 

Contracting Party hereby represents and warrants, in favor of Collateral Agent, as of the date hereof, that (i) the execution, delivery
and performance by Contracting Party of this Consent has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on the part of Contracting Party and (ii) this Consent is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of Contracting Party, enforceable against Contracting Party in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles. 
 Any communications between the parties hereto or
notices provided herein to be given may be given to the addresses set forth on the signature pages hereto. 
 This Consent shall be binding
upon Contracting Party and its permitted successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Collateral Agent, its designee(s) and permitted successors and assigns. The Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agreement, any related financing documents
and the security interests granted thereunder may be amended, restated, refinanced (in whole or in part), supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time without Contracting Party’s consent and without affecting the validity or
enforceability of this Consent. The 

  
 -2- 









 
Contracting Party shall have no liability or obligation under the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agreement, any related financing documents or the security interests granted thereunder except
to the extent, if any, specifically agreed to in this Consent. 
 Provided any Subsequent Owner expressly assumes in writing all
responsibilities and obligations of the Company under the Assigned Agreement, Contracting Party agrees to execute a consent to assignment, in such form as may be mutually agreed by the parties acting reasonably and in good faith, as may be
reasonably requested by Company in connection with any assignment of the Assigned Agreement to a Subsequent Owner. 
 This Consent and the
rights and obligations of the parties under this Consent shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York. This Consent may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties to this Consent on
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Barclays Bank PLC, as Collateral Agent 
 745 Seventh Avenue 

New York, NY 10019 
 Attn: May Huang 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Reference is hereby made to: 

 

	 	1.	The CIF Contract for the Purchase of Wood Pellet Biomass, dated as of January 5, 2012 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Biomass
Contract”), between E.ON UK PLC (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “E.ON”) and Enviva L.P. (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “Enviva”); and


  

	 	2.	Barclays Bank PLC, in its capacity as collateral agent (together with its designee(s) or assignee(s) and its permitted successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the
secured parties under the Security Agreement referenced below (the “Secured Parties”). 

 Reference is also made to
our understanding that: 
  

	 	1.	Enviva and certain of its affiliates intend to enter into a credit agreement with the Collateral Agent, those financial institutions who from time to time become parties thereto, and the agents and arrangers who from
time to time become parties thereto (as amended, restated, refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and 


 

	 	2.	In connection with the Credit Agreement, Enviva and certain of its affiliates intend to enter into one or more security documents with the Collateral Agent (as amended, restated, refinanced or otherwise modified from
time to time, collectively, the “Security Agreement”). 










 25 October 2012 

Page 2 
  

 Subject to the conditions and requirements set out in paragraphs 1 – 4 below, E.ON agrees that Enviva
may assign to the Collateral Agent (such assignment, the “Collateral Assignment”), as collateral security for Enviva’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and any refinancing thereof (whether through the issuance of
debt securities or otherwise) (the “Secured Obligations”), all of Enviva’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Biomass Contract (collectively, the “Collateral”). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Assignment shall be subject to the following conditions and requirements: 

 

	 	1.	The Collateral Assignment shall be of all of Enviva’s rights and obligations under the Biomass Contract, or such rights and obligations as E.ON and the Collateral Agent shall agree; 


 

	 	2.	The Collateral Assignment shall be by way of security only and shall provide that until the Collateral Agent elects to exercise any rights and remedies with respect to foreclosure of the Collateral then (a) Enviva
shall be entitled to exercise all of its rights under the Biomass Contract and Collateral, (b) Enviva shall remain liable to perform all of its obligations to E.ON under the Biomass Contract, and (c) all payments otherwise due and payable
to Enviva by E.ON shall be paid under clause 17 of the Biomass Contract; 

  

	 	3.	If the Collateral Agent elects to exercise any rights and remedies with respect to foreclosure of the Collateral, then: 

  

	 	a.	any outstanding monetary claims under the Biomass Contract which E.ON may have against Enviva shall be remedied and cured; and 

  

	 	b.	the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party or any Subsequent Owner (as defined below), as the case may be, shall assume all of the rights and obligations of Enviva by way of (i) novation or (ii) otherwise upon
terms reasonably acceptable to E.ON; 

  

	 	4.	Where the Collateral Agent, a Secured Party or any Subsequent Owner is to assume (whether by novation or otherwise upon terms reasonably acceptable to E.ON) the obligations of Enviva under the Biomass Contract, then:


  

	 	a.	that party must itself or via an operator or supplier engaged by it be reasonably capable (including technically, legally and financially) of performing Enviva’s obligations under the Biomass Contract; and











 25 October 2012 

Page 3 
  


	 	b.	that party must not, at the time of the assignment, be a lender holding commitments under any revolving credit facility that is at such time (i) in effect with E.ON as borrower and (ii) is not in default; and


  

	 	c.	at the time of such assignment, E.ON must be satisfied that clause 3.1 of the Biomass Contract has been complied with and will continue to be satisfied. 


If an Event of Default (as defined in the Biomass Contract) occurs under the terms of clause 18 of the Biomass Contract and Enviva is the Defaulting Party (as
defined in the Biomass Contract), E.ON shall not exercise any right of termination under clause 18 until 30 days after the date on which written notice of such Event of Default has been received by the Collateral Agent in order to enable the
Collateral Agent the opportunity to cure such Event of Default upon terms reasonably acceptable to E.ON. 
 E.ON acknowledges and agrees that neither the
Collateral Agent nor the Secured Parties shall have any liability or obligation under the Biomass Contract as a result of this letter or the Security Agreement except during any period in which the Collateral Agent or a Secured Party has assumed the
rights and obligations of Enviva under the Biomass Contract. E.ON shall not have any liability or obligation towards the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties except during any period in which the Collateral Agent or a Secured Party has assumed
the rights and obligations of Enviva under the Biomass Contract. 
 “Subsequent Owner” means any assignee to whom the Collateral
Agent assigns its right, title and interest in the Collateral. 
 E.ON hereby represents and warrants in good faith to the Collateral Agent as of the date
hereof that:- 
  

	 	1.	The execution, delivery and performance of this letter has been duly authorised by all necessary corporate or other action on the part of E.ON; and 


 

	 	2.	This letter is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of E.ON, enforceable against E.ON in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganisation or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles. 










 25 October 2012

 Any communications between E.ON and the Collateral Agent may be given to the addresses set forth on the
signature pages to this letter. 
 This letter shall be binding upon E.ON and its permitted successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the
Collateral Agent, its assignee(s) and their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any entity that refinances all or any portion of the Secured Obligations). The Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement, any related
financing documents and the security interests granted thereunder may be amended, restated, refinanced (in whole or in part), supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time without E.ON’s consent and without affecting the validity or
enforceability of this letter; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, E.ON does not consent to any variation to the terms of this letter nor the terms upon which it consents to the Collateral Assignment. 

This letter and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law. The terms and provisions of
Section 31 of the Biomass Contract are hereby incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis. This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties to this letter on separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 1. Subordination. (a) Each Subordinated Lender hereby agrees that all its right, title and interest in and to the

 (c) Upon any
distribution of the assets of any Subordinated Borrower or upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of any Subordinated Borrower, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or receivership proceedings or
otherwise, or upon any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of any Subordinated Borrower, or otherwise: 

(i) the Senior Lenders shall first be entitled to receive unconditional, final and irrevocable payment in full in cash of the

interest, fees or otherwise; and 
 (ii) any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets of, such Subordinated
Borrower of any kind or character on account of the Subordinated Obligations, whether in cash, securities, property or otherwise, to which any Subordinated Lender would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 1 shall be paid or
delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian, liquidating trustee or any other Person) directly to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, payable in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, until the unconditional, final and irrevocable payment in full of all Senior Obligations (other than contingent obligations). 

(d) Each Subordinated Lender hereby agrees that, unless and until the principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, and all other
amounts in respect of, the Senior Obligations (other than contingent obligations) shall have been paid in full in cash or its equivalent: (i) no payment on account of the principal of, or interest or premium (if any) on, or any other amount in
respect of, the Subordinated Obligations or any judgment with respect thereto (and no payment on account of the purchase or redemption or other acquisition of the Subordinated Obligations) shall be made by or on behalf of the issuer of any
Subordinated Obligations and (ii) no Subordinated Lender shall (x) ask, demand, sue for, take or receive from any Subordinated Borrower, by set-off or in any other manner any payment on account of the principal of, or interest or premium
(if any) on, or any other amount in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations or (y) seek any other remedy allowed at law or in equity against the any Subordinated Borrower for breach of such Subordinated Borrower’s obligations under any
instruments representing such Subordinated Obligations; provided, that nothing in this Section 1(d) shall be deemed to prohibit payment of any of the Subordinated Obligations from the proceeds of Restricted Payments paid in accordance
with Section 8.02(g)(iii)(A)(2) of the Credit Agreement. The provisions of this Section 1(d) shall not alter the rights of the holders of Senior Obligations under the provisions of Sections 1(a), (b) or (c) hereof.

 (e) In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each
Subordinated Lender agrees not to ask, demand, sue for or take or receive from any Subordinated Borrower, in cash, securities, property or otherwise, or by setoff, purchase, redemption (including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral) or
otherwise, payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations and agrees, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, that in connection with any proceeding involving any Subordinated Borrower under any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, receivership or similar law (i) the Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of such Subordinated Lender or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to
demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to in the preceding sentence and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including, without limitation, voting the
applicable Subordinated Obligations and enforcing any security interest or other Lien securing payment of such Subordinated Obligations) as the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the
rights, remedies, benefits or interests of the Senior Lenders and (ii) such Subordinated Lender shall duly and promptly take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to (A) collect amounts in respect of the applicable
Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Senior Lenders and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of such Subordinated Obligations, (B) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such irrevocable powers of attorney,
assignments or other instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to enable the Collateral Agent to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests and other Liens securing payment of, the applicable
Subordinated Obligations and (C) collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the applicable Subordinated Obligations. A copy of this Agreement may be filed with any court
as evidence of each Senior Lender’s right, power and authority hereunder. 
 (f) In the event that any payment by, or on behalf of, or
distribution of the assets of, any Subordinated Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities, property or otherwise, and whether directly, by purchase, redemption, exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise, shall be received by
or on behalf of any Subordinated Lender or any Affiliate thereof at a time when such payment is prohibited by this Agreement, such payment or distribution shall be held by such Subordinated Lender or Affiliate in trust (segregated from other
property of such Subordinated Lender or Affiliate) for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over to, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, payable in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, until the
unconditional, final and irrevocable payment in full of all Senior Obligations (other than contingent obligations). 
 (g) Subject to the
prior unconditional, final and irrevocable payment in full of all Senior Obligations (other than contingent obligations), each applicable Subordinated Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Lenders to receive payments or
distributions in cash, securities, property or otherwise of each applicable Subordinated Borrower applicable to the Senior Obligations, and, as between and among a Subordinated Borrower, its creditors (other than the Senior Lenders) and the
applicable Subordinated Lenders, no such payment or distribution made to the Senior Lenders by virtue of this Agreement that otherwise would have been made to any applicable Subordinated Lender shall be deemed to be a payment by the applicable
Subordinated Borrower on account of the Subordinated Obligations, it being understood that the provisions of this Section 1(g) are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Subordinated Lenders and the Senior
Lenders.

 (h) No Subordinated Borrower shall give, or permit to be given, and shall cause each of its
subsidiaries not to give or permit to be given, and no Subordinated Lender shall receive, accept or demand, (i) any security of any nature whatsoever for any Subordinated Obligations on any cash, securities, property or other assets, whether
now existing or hereafter acquired, of any Subordinated Borrower or any subsidiary of any Subordinated Borrower [(other than any Sisterco)]39 or (ii) any guarantee (contingent or otherwise),
of any nature whatsoever, including any other arrangement having the economic effect of guaranteeing Debt, including Debt described in clauses (e), (g), (h) and (i) of the definition of Debt (a “Guarantee”) by any
Subordinated Borrower or any subsidiary of any Subordinated Borrower [(other than any Unrestricted Subsidiary)][(other than any Sisterco)]40 of any Subordinated Obligations other than any
Guarantee subordinated to the Senior Obligations on terms substantially identical to (and no less favorable in any significant respect to the Senior Lenders than) those hereof. Each Subordinated Lender agrees that all the proceeds of any such
Guarantee shall be subject to the provisions hereof with respect to payments and other distributions in respect of the Subordinated Obligations. 

(i) Each Subordinated Lender and each Subordinated Borrower agrees that all Subordinated Obligations, if evidenced by a promissory note, will
be evidenced solely by a single promissory note in the form attached hereto as Annex 1, and that such promissory note and any and all instruments now or hereafter creating or evidencing the Subordinated Obligations, whether upon refunding,
extension, renewal, refinancing, replacement or otherwise, shall contain the following legend: 
 “Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, neither the principal of nor the interest on, nor any other amounts payable in respect of, the indebtedness created or evidenced by this instrument or record shall become due or be paid or payable, except to the extent
permitted under the Subordination Agreement, dated as of [            ], 20[    ], among the Subordinated Lenders, the Subordinated Borrowers
and Barclays Bank PLC, in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement, which Subordination Agreement is incorporated herein with the same effect as if fully set forth herein.” 

(j) Each Subordinated Lender agrees that, except for claims submitted in any proceeding contemplated by Section 1(c), it will not take
any action to cause any Subordinated Obligations to become payable prior to their scheduled maturity (which, in the case of any demand notes, shall be the date demand is made thereunder) or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to
enforce any Subordinated Obligation if the payment of such Subordinated Obligation is then prohibited by this Agreement, and each Subordinated Lender further agrees not to file, or to join with any other creditors of any Subordinated Borrower in
filing, any petition commencing any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or receivership proceeding or any assignment for the benefit of creditors against or in respect of such Subordinated Borrower or any other marshalling of the
assets and liabilities of such Subordinated Borrower (provided that this prohibition shall in no event be construed so as to limit any Subordinated Lender’s right to cause any Subordinated Obligations to become payable

prior to their scheduled maturity if all the outstanding Senior Secured Facilities under the Credit Agreement have been declared forthwith due and payable prior to their scheduled maturity date).
Each Subordinated Lender further agrees, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, that it will not cause any Subordinated Borrower to file any such petition, commence any such proceeding or make any such assignment referred to above
until all Senior Obligations (other than contingent obligations) have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid in cash. 
 SECTION 2.
Waivers and Consents. (a) Each Subordinated Lender waives the right to compel that the Collateral or any other assets or property of any Subordinated Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or the assets or property of any guarantor
of the Senior Obligations or any other Person be applied in any particular order to discharge the Senior Obligations. Each Subordinated Lender expressly waives the right to require the Senior Lenders to proceed against any Subordinated Borrower, any
of its subsidiaries, the Collateral, any other assets or property of any Subordinated Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person, or to pursue any other remedy in any Senior Lender’s power
which such Subordinated Lender cannot pursue and which would lighten such Subordinated Lender’s burden, notwithstanding that the failure of any Senior Lender to do so may thereby prejudice such Subordinated Lender. Each Subordinated Lender
agrees that it shall not be discharged, exonerated or have its obligations hereunder to the Senior Lenders reduced by (i) any Senior Lender’s delay in proceeding against or enforcing any remedy against any Subordinated Borrower, any of its
subsidiaries, the Collateral or any other asset or property of any Subordinated Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person, (ii) any Senior Lender releasing any Subordinated Borrower, any
of its subsidiaries, the Collateral or any other asset or property of any Subordinated Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person from all or any part of the Senior Obligations or
(iii) the discharge of any Subordinated Borrower, any of its subsidiaries, the Collateral or any other asset or property of any Subordinated Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person by
an operation of law or otherwise, with or without the intervention or omission of a Senior Lender. Any Senior Lender’s vote to accept or reject any plan of reorganization relating to any Subordinated Borrower, any of its subsidiaries, the
Collateral or any other asset or property of any Subordinated Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person, or any Senior Lender’s receipt on account of the Senior Obligations, other than
the unconditional, final and irrevocable payment in full in cash thereof, of any cash, securities, property or other assets distributed in any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceeding, shall not discharge, exonerate, or reduce
the obligations of any Subordinated Lender hereunder to the Senior Lenders. 
 (b) Each Subordinated Lender waives all rights and defenses
arising out of an election of remedies by the Senior Lenders, even though that election of remedies, including, without limitation, any non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Senior Obligations, has impaired the value of such
Subordinated Lender’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution against any Subordinated Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Subordinated
Lender expressly waives any rights or defenses it may have by reason of protection afforded to any Subordinated Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person with respect to the Senior Obligations pursuant to any
anti-deficiency laws or other laws of similar import which limit or discharge the principal debtor’s indebtedness upon judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of real property or personal property Collateral for the Senior Obligations. 

  
 EXHIBIT T 

- 5 - 









 (c) Each Subordinated Lender agrees that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights
against it, and without notice to or further assent by it, any demand for payment of any Senior Obligations made by any Senior Lender may be rescinded in whole or in part by such Senior Lender, and any Senior Obligation may be continued, and the
Senior Obligations, or the liability of the applicable Subordinated Borrower, any of its subsidiaries or any other guarantor or any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any Collateral or Guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect
thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, replaced, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released by the Senior Lenders, in each case without notice to or further assent by any Subordinated
Lender, which will remain bound under this Agreement and without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination and other agreements of the Subordinated Lenders provided for herein. 

(d) Each Subordinated Lender waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Senior Obligations and
notice of or proof of reliance by the Senior Lenders upon this Agreement. The Senior Obligations, and any of them, shall be deemed conclusively to have been created, contracted or incurred and the consent given to create the obligations of each
Subordinated Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Obligations in reliance upon this Agreement, and all dealings between each Subordinated Borrower and the Senior Lenders shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon this Agreement.
Each Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Lenders have relied upon the subordination and other agreements provided for herein in consenting to the Subordinated Obligations. Each Subordinated Lender waives notice of or proof of
reliance on this Agreement and protest, demand for payment and notice of default. 
 SECTION 3. Transfers. Each Subordinated
Lender shall not sell, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of, in whole or in part, all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations or any interest therein to any other Person (a “Transferee”), other than another
Subordinated Lender bound by the provisions of this Agreement, or create, incur or suffer to exist any security interest, Lien, charge or other encumbrance whatsoever upon all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations or any interest therein in
favor of any Transferee (other than Liens under the Security Agreement and Permitted Liens). 
 SECTION 4. Senior Obligations
Unconditional. All rights and interests of the Senior Lenders hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Subordinated Lenders and the Subordinated Borrowers hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Secured Cash Management Agreement,
Secured Commodity Hedge Agreement or Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreement (Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Commodity Hedge Agreements and Secured Interest Rate/Currency Agreements are referred to herein as “Secured Other
Agreements”); 

  
 EXHIBIT T

 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of
the Senior Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of, or consent to departure from, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Other Agreement; 

(c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien in any Collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in
writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of, or consent to departure from, the Guaranty of any of the Senior Obligations; or 
 (d) any
other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Subordinated Borrower, any of its subsidiaries, any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person in respect of the Senior Obligations, or
of the Subordinated Lender, any Subordinated Borrower, any of its subsidiaries, any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person in respect of this Agreement (other than payment). 

SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Subordinated Lender represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Senior Lenders, that: 
 (a) It has the power and authority to execute and deliver and to perform its obligations under this
Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. 
 (b) This Agreement
has been duly executed and delivered by such Subordinated Lender and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subordinated Lender, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. 

(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate any provision of any material requirement of law applicable to
such Subordinated Lender or of any material contractual obligation of such Subordinated Lender. 
 (d) No consent or authorization of filing
with, or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority, is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, except for (i) such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect and
(ii) such filings which the failure to obtain could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 6.
Waiver of Claims. (a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Subordinated Lender (in its capacity as such) waives any claim it might have against any Senior Lender with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to
act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of any Senior Lender or its directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or
any transaction relating to the Collateral. None of the Senior Lenders nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates shall be liable to any Subordinated Lender for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of
the Collateral or the Guaranty or any other Guarantee or for any delay in doing so or shall be

under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Subordinated Borrower, any of its subsidiaries, any guarantor of the Senior Obligations, any
Subordinated Lender or any other person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral Documents, including, without limitation, the Security Agreement, or any part thereof. 

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Subordinated Lender, for itself and on behalf of its successors and assigns, hereby waives
any and all now existing or hereafter arising rights it may have to require the Senior Lenders to marshal assets for the benefit of such Subordinated Lender, or to otherwise direct the timing, order or manner of any sale, collection or other
enforcement of the Collateral or enforcement of the Loan Documents or the Secured Other Agreements. The Senior Lenders are under no duty or obligation, and each Subordinated Lender hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any right
it may have to compel the Senior Lenders, to pursue any Subordinated Borrower, any of its subsidiaries, any guarantor or other person who may be liable for the Senior Obligations, or to enforce any Lien or security interest in any Collateral. 

(c) Each Subordinated Lender hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any duty on the part of the Senior Lenders to disclose
to it any fact known or hereafter known by the Senior Lenders relating to the operation or financial condition of any Subordinated Borrower, any of its subsidiaries or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations, or their respective businesses. Each
Subordinated Lender enters into this Agreement based solely upon its independent knowledge of the applicable Subordinated Borrower’s results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) and business and the Subordinated Lender assumes full
responsibility for obtaining any further or future information with respect to the applicable Subordinated Borrower, any of its subsidiaries, any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or their respective results of operations, condition (financial or
otherwise) or business. 
 SECTION 7. Further Assurances. Each Subordinated Lender and each Subordinated Borrower, at their
own expense and at any time from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent shall promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request for the purposes of obtaining, preserving or extending the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights, powers, remedies, benefits and interests of the Senior Lenders herein granted. 

SECTION 8. Provisions Define Relative Rights. This Agreement is intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights
of the Senior Lenders, on the one hand, and the Subordinated Lenders and the Subordinated Borrowers, on the other hand, and no other person shall have any right, remedy, benefit or other interest under this Agreement. 

SECTION 9. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with
an interest and are irrevocable until the Senior Obligations are unconditionally, finally and irrevocably paid in full in cash (other than indemnification obligations and other contingent obligations not then due and payable).

Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile (or other electronic) transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. 

SECTION 12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision
hereof in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions
with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

SECTION 13. Integration. This Agreement represents the agreement of the Subordinated Borrowers, the Subordinated Lenders and the
Senior Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or representations by any Subordinated Borrower, any Subordinated Lender or the Senior Lenders relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein.

may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Collateral Agent, each affected Subordinated Borrower and each affected Subordinated Lender; provided that any provision of this
Agreement may be waived by the Senior Lenders in a letter or agreement executed by the Required Lenders, or by the Collateral Agent with the written consent of the Required Lenders, and each affected Subordinated Lender. 

(b) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Senior Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy,
benefit or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy, benefit or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power, remedy,
benefit or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy, benefit or privilege. 

(c) The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Senior Lender herein provided are cumulative, may
be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that any of them would otherwise have.

SUPPLEMENT NO. [__] dated as of
[                    ], 20[__] (this “Supplement”), to the Subordination Agreement dated as of
[                    ], 20[__] (the “Subordination Agreement”), among the subordinated lenders named

thereto, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Senior Lenders. 
 A. Reference is made to the Subordination Agreement.

 B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Subordination
Agreement. 
 C. Each of the Subordinated Lenders and each of the Subordinated Borrowers have entered into the Subordination Agreement in
order to induce the Senior Lenders to make the Senior Secured Facilities and other extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement. Section 19 of the Subordination Agreement provides that [Borrower Group Parties may become Subordinated
Borrowers under the Subordination Agreement and Holdings may become Subordinated Lenders under the Subordination Agreement, in each case,]61 [Holdings Entities may become Subordinated Borrower

 Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Subordinated Party agree as follows:

 SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 19 of the Subordination Agreement, the New Subordinated Party by its signature below becomes a
[Subordinated Lender][Subordinated Borrower] under the Subordination Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a [Subordinated Lender][Subordinated Borrower] and the New Subordinated Party hereby (a) agrees to

qualified by materiality, on and as of the date hereof except for representations and warranties which by their terms refer to a specific date, which representations and warranties were true and
correct on such specific date. Each reference to a [“Subordinated Lender”][“Subordinated Borrower”] in the Subordination Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subordinated Party. The Subordination Agreement is hereby
incorporated herein by reference. 
 SECTION 2. The New Subordinated Party represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other
Senior Lenders that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. 

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile (or other electronic) transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a
manually signed counterpart of this Supplement. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Subordinated Party and the
Collateral Agent. 
 SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Subordination Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

SECTION 6. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Subordination Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision hereof in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 10 of the Subordination
Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Subordinated Party shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature below, with a copy to the Borrower.

Person with respect to any provisions of the Equity Contribution Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than any waiver or consent by the Collateral Agent with respect to any provisions of this Guarantee) or the entry by the Collateral Agent,
the Guaranteed Party or any other Person in any amendments to the Equity Contribution Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than any amendments by the parties hereto to this Guarantee). 

(b) Other than with respect to demand as expressly set forth in this Guarantee, the Guarantor hereby waives any right, whether legal or
equitable, statutory or non-statutory, to require any Person to proceed against or take any action against or pursue any remedy with respect to the Sponsor or any other Person or to give notice of 

  
 2 









 
acceptance hereof, make presentment, protest or demand for payment or give any notice of nonpayment before the Guaranteed Party or the Collateral Agent may enforce their rights hereunder against
the Guarantor. 
 5. No Waiver; Cumulative Rights. No failure on the part of the Guaranteed Party or the Collateral Agent to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Guaranteed Party or the Collateral Agent of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude
any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Guaranteed Party or the Collateral Agent or allowed the Guaranteed Party or the Collateral Agent by law or other agreement shall
be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Guaranteed Party or the Collateral Agent at any time or from time to time.

 (d) the Guarantor has access to capital contributions to be made by non-defaulting, non-excused
limited partners of the Guarantor in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than 105% of the Remaining Construction Equity Commitment.

greater than 105% of the Remaining 

  
 3

cash flows for the periods indicated are in conformity with GAAP and that the examination by such accountants in connection with such combined financial statements has been made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 

9. No Assignment. No party hereto may assign any of its rights, interests or obligations under this Guarantee to any other Person
without the prior written consent of each other party to this Guarantee; provided that any successor Collateral Agent appointed in accordance with the Loan Documents shall automatically succeed to the rights, interests or obligations of the

be binding on the Guarantor, and its successors and assigns until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guarantee shall terminate and the Guarantor shall have no further obligations under
this Guarantee as of the termination of the Equity Contribution Agreement in accordance with its terms (subject to reinstatement of the Equity Contribution Agreement as provided therein). 

12. No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Guarantee or any document or instrument delivered

acknowledges and agrees that it has no right of recovery against, and no personal liability shall attach to, the former, current or future security holders, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, members, managers, general or limited

(including any general partner or managing member)) to satisfy the Guaranteed Obligations under and to the extent provided in this Guarantee subject to the limitations described herein. Recourse against the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be
the sole and exclusive remedy of the Guaranteed Party and the Collateral Agent and all of their subsidiaries and affiliates against the Guarantor and the Guarantor Affiliates in respect of any liabilities arising under, or in connection with, this
Guarantee and the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing set forth in this Guarantee shall be construed to confer or give to any Person (including any Person acting in a representative capacity) other than the Guaranteed Party and the Collateral
Agent any rights or remedies against any Person other than the Guarantor as expressly set forth herein. Each of the Guaranteed Party and the Collateral Agent hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, and it shall cause its affiliates
not to institute, any proceeding or bring any other claim arising under, or in connection with, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby, against the Guarantor or any Guarantor Affiliates except for
claims against the Guarantor under this Guarantee. 
 13. Subrogation. Upon payment by the Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations,
the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Guaranteed Party against the Sponsor under the Equity Contribution Agreement, with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations; provided that the Guarantor shall not enforce the Guaranteed
Obligations by way of subrogation against the Sponsor prior to the Discharge Date.

 14. Governing Law. This Guarantee and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder
shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the
State of New York. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the courts of the United States of America, in each case located in the
State and County of New York, for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any
litigation arising out of this Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby in the courts of the State of New York or the courts of the United States of America, in each case located in the State and County of New York, and hereby further
irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY
HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTEE OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

that for any reason any payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made pursuant to this Guarantee is rescinded or otherwise restored to the Guarantor, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or
otherwise with respect to the Sponsor, any Loan Party or any other Person or as a result of any settlement or compromise with any Person (including the Sponsor and any Loan Party) in respect of such payment. 

19. Amendments. None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except
with the written consent of each of the parties hereto.
