or the Terminal (for FOB 

  
 8 









 
Shipments), so that it can be delivered as soon as Buyer is ready to accept such Shipment, until such time that any further attempt to store the Biomass would materially adversely affect the
operation of the Facility (for DAP Shipments) or the Terminal (for FOB Shipments), and, upon request by Buyer if adequate space is not available at the Facility or the Terminal, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain off-site storage,
at Buyer’s cost and expense. Where Buyer makes such request for Seller to store Biomass, Buyer may not cancel the applicable Shipment by reason of its delayed readiness without Seller’s written consent; provided, however,

further delay in delivering such Biomass would materially adversely affect the operation of the Facility (for DAP Shipments) or the Terminal (for FOB Shipments), Seller may cancel the Shipment, in which case the amount of such Shipment shall be
deemed Buyer’s Shortfall and Buyer shall pay Seller therefor pursuant to Sections 11(b) and 11(c).

(i) If a Shipment or portion thereof does not comply with Section 5(a) in all material respects, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for
all reasonable and direct costs and expenses associated with conforming such Shipment to the requirements set forth in Section 5(a). If such Shipment or a portion thereof cannot be so conformed within a reasonable time, Buyer may

Biomass delivered to Buyer hereunder is believed by Buyer upon discharge to contain Extraneous Material, Buyer shall inform Seller thereof and Buyer shall appoint an independent surveyor, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense (subject to the
following sentence), to conduct an inspection of the Biomass. If the independent surveyor verifies that the Biomass contains Extraneous Material, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the cost of such independent surveyor and shall replace any
defective Biomass at no cost to Buyer within a time period reasonably acceptable to Buyer. The amount of such affected Biomass shall be deemed Seller’s Shortfall and Seller shall pay Buyer therefor pursuant to Sections 11(a) and

rejects Biomass in accordance with this Section 10, Buyer may, within seven (7) days of such rejection, request that Seller deliver replacement Biomass in a quantity equal to the quantity rejected, in which event Seller shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to comply with Buyer’s request as soon as reasonably practicable. Any such delivery of replacement Biomass shall be on the same terms as the rejected Shipment or partial Shipment or such other terms as the
Parties may agree. If Buyer does not request that Seller deliver replacement Biomass under this Section 10(c), the provisions of Section 11 shall apply to the rejected quantity. 

(d) Reimbursement; Partially-Accepted Biomass. Buyer shall not be liable to pay for the rejected Biomass, and Seller shall on demand
refund within ten (10) Business Days any amount previously paid for the rejected Shipment to Buyer. If Buyer rejects only part of a Shipment, the amount owed by Buyer with respect to such Shipment shall be reduced pro rata according to the
amount of the Shipment accepted. 
 (e) Buyer’s Option to Accept. Buyer shall at all times have the option, in its sole
discretion, to accept any Shipment notwithstanding any failure of such Shipment to conform to the requirements of Section 5. Any acceptance by Buyer of a non-conforming Shipment shall not constitute a waiver of Buyer’s rejection
rights with respect to any other Shipment, and shall not limit Buyer’s right to reject any other non-conforming Shipment. 
 (f)
Liability for Costs. Seller shall be liable for all costs and damages and expenses arising out of or in connection with the rejected Shipment, including carrying charges and the costs of transporting the rejected Shipment to any destination
other than the Delivery Point. Buyer shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable means to mitigate such costs and expenses. 

  
 13 









 (g) Disposal Costs. Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay for all storage,
transport, alternate use, or disposal of any rejected Shipment or partial Shipment; provided, that Buyer shall segregate and safeguard for Seller’s account any rejected Shipment. Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless in
respect of all liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses suffered and incurred by Buyer in respect of storage, transport and disposal of any rejected Shipment. 

11. Damages. 
 (a)
Seller’s Shortfall. If (i) Buyer rejects all or any part of a Shipment in accordance with Section 10(a) and replacement Biomass has not been provided pursuant to Section 10(c), (ii) Seller fails to
deliver all or any part of a Shipment in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, including any failure to deliver Biomass in the Annual Quantity and in accordance with the Shipment Schedule, other than due to a Force Majeure Event or
Buyer’s failure to perform, or (iii) Seller fails to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 5 (the applicable quantity of Biomass, in any such event, “Seller’s Shortfall”), Seller shall pay
Buyer an amount per Tonne of Seller’s Shortfall equal to the positive difference, if any, between the Market Price and the then-applicable Base Price (each as adjusted based upon the average Actual NCVcp of Shipments delivered to Buyer by
Seller during the previous twelve (12) months under the relevant Confirmation or such shorter period as has elapsed since the effective date of such Confirmation) for such volume plus all losses, costs (including legal costs, transportation
costs, storage costs, handling costs and interest) incurred by Buyer as a result of Seller’s failure pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), (ii) or (iii), and actual damages and expenses suffered or incurred by Buyer as a result
of entering into any purchase agreements for Seller’s Shortfall on terms reasonably similar to the relevant Confirmation, after taking into account any gains or savings by Buyer due to mitigating its losses, costs, damages and expenses. 

(b) Buyer’s Shortfall. If (i) Buyer rejects all or part of any Shipment other than in accordance with
Section 10(a) or (ii) Buyer fails to comply with its obligations to accept delivery of all or part of a Shipment other than due to a Force Majeure Event (the applicable quantity of Biomass, in any such event,
“Buyer’s Shortfall”), Buyer shall pay Seller an amount per Tonne of Buyer’s Shortfall equal to the positive difference, if any, between the then-applicable Base Price and the Market Price (each as adjusted based
upon the average Actual NCVcp of Shipments delivered to Buyer by Seller during the previous twelve (12) months under the relevant Confirmation or such shorter period as has elapsed since the effective date of such Confirmation) for such volume
plus all losses, costs (including legal costs, transportation costs, storage costs, handling costs and interest) incurred by Seller as a result of Buyer’s failure pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) or (ii), and actual damages
and expenses suffered or incurred by Seller as a result of entering into any sale agreements for Buyer’s Shortfall on terms reasonably similar to the relevant Confirmation, after taking into account any gains or savings by Seller due to
mitigating its losses, costs, damages and expenses. 
 (c) The Party liable for payment pursuant to Section 11(a) or 11(b) shall
pay amounts owed pursuant thereto within ten (10) Working Days following receipt of an invoice therefor, together with reasonable supporting documentation; provided, however, that if a Party disputes the calculation of such
amounts, the Parties shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith to negotiate and resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) days following receipt of the invoice. 

  
 14 









 
The Party liable for payment pursuant to Section 11(a) or 11(b) shall make such payment within ten (10) Working Days following resolution of such dispute. Any amount owed
pursuant to Section 11(a) or 11(b) or other damages owed pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid with interest at the Default Rate in accordance with Section 9(f). 

(d) The Parties confirm that the express remedies and measures of damages provided in this Agreement satisfy the essential purposes hereof. To
the extent any damages required to be paid hereunder are liquidated, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the damages are difficult or impossible to determine, or otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy is inconvenient, and the damages calculated
hereunder constitute a reasonable approximation of the harm or loss. For breach of any provision for which an express remedy or measure of damages is provided, such express remedy or measure of damages shall be the sole and exclusive remedy, the
obligor’s liability shall be limited as set forth in such provision and all other remedies or damages at law or in equity are waived. If no remedy or measure of damages is expressly provided herein, the obligor’s liability shall, except as
otherwise provided in Section 11(e), be limited to direct actual damages only, such direct actual damages shall be the sole and exclusive remedy and all other remedies or damages at law or in equity are waived. It is the intent of
the Parties that the limitations herein imposed on remedies and the measure of damages be without regard to the cause or causes related thereto, including the negligence of any Party, whether such negligence be sole, joint or concurrent, or active
or passive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that it is difficult or impossible to determine with precision the amount of damages that would be incurred by Buyer or Seller resulting from any act or omission, as the
case may be, described in Section 11(a), 11(b) or 13(a); any sums payable under Section 11(a), 11(b) or 13(c) because of such acts or omissions, as the case may be, are damages and not a penalty, and are fair and reasonable
and any such sums represent a reasonable estimate of fair compensation for the losses that may reasonably be anticipated from such acts or omissions, as the case may be. Payment of sums due pursuant to Section 11(a) or 11(b) shall
be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Party entitled to payment of such sums for the acts or omissions giving rise to such payment obligation. 

(e) No Punitive, Consequential or Similar Damages. Neither Party shall be liable for any loss of profit or of revenue or of goodwill,
or business interruption damages, or losses suffered under any other contract, or special, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or indirect damages, whether in contract, indemnity, tort or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with
the performance, failure to perform or termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the foregoing limitations of liability be applied to limit the extent of the liability of
either Party to the other for any breach of Section 19 or for or with respect to any third party indemnity claims under Section 14; and provided, further, that in no event will the foregoing limitations of
liability be applied to limit the extent of the liability of either Party under Sections 11(a), 11(b) or 13(c) or the liability of Seller to Buyer under Section 3(d)(i). 

12. Facility and Terminal; Audit Rights. 

(a) Safety. Each Party shall operate and maintain its Facility or Terminal, as applicable, at all times in a safe manner with due
regard to the life and health of people and protection of property, in compliance with Applicable Law and the then-current version of NFPA 664: Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Explosions in Wood Processing and Woodworking Facilities
or any successor publication. 

  
 15 









 (b) Inspection and Audit Rights. 

(i) Each Party shall have the right to inspect the other Party’s Facility or Terminal, as applicable, at any time during the Contract
Term of any Confirmation for health, safety, quality assurance or other similar purposes as Buyer may reasonably determine. Further, each Party shall at all times have the right to take samples of the Biomass at the Facility or Terminal, as
applicable, or at any storage or loading facility used by the other Party, or any other location where the Biomass may be located, and to audit and observe such other Party’s sampling and collection of Biomass at the Facility or Terminal, as
applicable, or elsewhere, upon reasonable notice to such other Party. 
 (ii) During the Contract Term of the relevant Confirmation and for
up to one (1) year thereafter, each Party may, at its own expense, during Office Hours and upon reasonable advance notice so as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the other Party or of such other Party’s
Facility or Terminal, as applicable, inspect, copy or audit, to the extent relevant to such other Party’s obligations under such Confirmation, such other Party’s books, records, accounts, ledgers, schedules, correspondence and any other
documents including supplier records in its possession or control or otherwise available to it; provided, however, that neither Party shall have the right to inspect, copy or audit any of the foregoing that relates solely to the other
Party’s pricing of Biomass. Any Party exercising its rights to inspect, copy or audit pursuant to this Section 12(b)(ii) shall reimburse the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the other Party in
connection with this Section 12(b)(ii). Such other Party shall reasonably cooperate with any such inspection, copying or audit and shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested by the Party carrying out such inspection,
copying or audit under this Section 12(b)(ii). 
 13. Events of Default; Termination. 

(a) Defaults. Any one or more of the following shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”)
with respect to a Party (the “Defaulting Party”), giving the other Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) the right to terminate this Agreement or any or all Confirmations by giving notice in writing to
the Defaulting Party: 
 (i) a Party breaches any payment obligation under this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within fifteen
(15) days after written notice thereof from the other Party; 
 (ii) a Party commits a material breach of any non-payment obligation
under this Agreement (other than as set forth in Section 19) and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the other Party; provided, however, that if such default cannot
reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period but can reasonably be cured in sixty (60) days, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default so long as the Party in breach commences the cure thereof within such thirty
(30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion within not less than sixty (60) days after such written notice from the other Party; or 

  
 16 









 (iii) a Party becomes Insolvent. 

(b) Rights Pending Cure. A Party who gives the other Party notice of a breach or failure pursuant to this Section 13 (a
“Notifying Party”) may, during any applicable period in which the other Party may cure such breach or failure, and in addition to any other right or remedy available to such Notifying Party, withhold any payments due to the
other Party and suspend performance of such Notifying Party’s obligations hereunder until such breach or failure by the other Party is cured. 

(c) Effect of Termination. Where this Agreement or any Confirmation is terminated by a Party pursuant to Section 13(a), the
Non-Defaulting Party shall, within ten (10) days of the date of termination, calculate the applicable Termination Payment with respect to the aggregate of all Confirmations being terminated and notify the Defaulting Party of the amount so
calculated, and the Defaulting Party shall, within ten (10) days of receiving such notice, pay to the Non-Defaulting Party an amount equal to the Termination Payment. The Non-Defaulting Party shall not be obligated to enter into replacement
agreements or to terminate related trading positions in order to establish the amount of the Termination Payment. 
 14.
Indemnification. Each Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party (the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities,
costs, expenses, damages, demands, claims, actions and allegations by third parties (“Claims”), including, without limitation, Claims by third parties relating to Extraneous Material contained in any Biomass that is purchased
by Buyer from Seller under this Agreement and subsequently sold by Buyer to such third parties, incurred by the Indemnified Party (including attorney’s fees and litigation costs, including in enforcing such indemnity rights) resulting from,
arising out of, or relating to the Indemnifying Party’s breach of any representation or warranty or covenant of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or other contractual breach or from the Indemnifying Party’s willful misconduct,
fraud, negligence or other legal fault. For purposes of this Section 14, the acts or omissions of the Indemnifying Party shall include the acts or omissions of any employees, agents, servants, contractors or subcontractors of the
Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of any Claim subject to indemnification hereunder as soon as possible from the date of knowledge of such Claim. Any
failure or delay by the Indemnified Party to give notice hereunder shall constitute a waiver of indemnification to the extent such failure or delay materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend or otherwise resolve the Claim.

 15. Insurance. Each Party shall comply with any applicable insurance requirements specified in the relevant Confirmation.

 16. Force Majeure. 

(a) Force Majeure Event. A Party is not responsible or liable for any delay or failure in the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement to the extent such performance is prevented by a Force Majeure Event, provided that such Party complies with Section 16(b). A “Force Majeure Event” is any event or circumstance which prevents a
Party (the “Affected Party” and the other Party being the “Non-Affected Party”) from performing its obligations 

  
 17 









 
under one or more Confirmations, which event or circumstance was not anticipated or reasonably foreseeable by the Affected Party as of the date on which any applicable Confirmation was entered
into, which is not within the reasonable control, or the result of the negligence, of the Affected Party, and which, by the exercise of due diligence, the Affected Party is unable to overcome or avoid or cause to be avoided. A Force Majeure Event
may include the following, to the extent that each satisfies the foregoing requirements: any act of God or the elements, earthquakes, floods, landslides, hurricanes, civil disturbances, sabotage, acts of public enemies, war, blockades,
insurrections, riots, epidemics, fires or explosions. For the avoidance of doubt, a lack of funds, the availability of a more attractive market, changes in law or regulations or inefficiencies in operations shall not constitute a Force Majeure
Event. 
 (b) Notice. The Affected Party shall be entitled to relief pursuant to this Section 16 to the extent that
(a) the Affected Party gives the Non-Affected Party written notice within five (5) Working Days of the occurrence of the event or circumstance giving rise to the claim of a Force Majeure Event, describing the particulars and estimated
duration of the Force Majeure Event and the proposed cure, (b) any suspension of performance is of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably attributable to the Force Majeure Event, (c) the Affected Party uses
commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (d) the Affected Party promptly notifies the Non-Affected Party when the Affected Party is able to resume performance of its
obligations under this Agreement. 
 (c) Make-up. In addition to the Affected Party’s obligations under
Section 16(b), the Parties may mutually agree to make-up resulting deficiencies due to a Force Majeure Event through an adjustment, as necessary, to the Purchase Price or the Contract Term of the relevant Confirmation. Any resulting
extensions of the Contract Term of the relevant Confirmation shall be no greater than the duration of the Force Majeure Event. 
 (d)
Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 16, if a Force Majeure Event lasts for more than one hundred and eighty (180) consecutive days or for more than one hundred eighty (180) days in the
aggregate during any twelve (12) month period, the Non-Affected Party may terminate all affected Confirmations upon written notice to the Affected Party; provided, however, that such one hundred and eighty (180) day period,
in either case, shall be extended by up to an additional ninety (90) days if the Affected Party shall, prior to the expiration of such one hundred and eighty (180) day period, have submitted to the Non-Affected Party a remedial action
plan, reasonably acceptable to the Non-Affected Party, which sets forth a course of repairs, improvements, changes to operations, or other actions that would permit the Affected Party to perform its obligations under such Confirmations as soon as
reasonably practicable and such Party pursues the remedial action plan in a commercially reasonable and diligent manner. Termination of Confirmations by a Party under this Section 16 shall be without liability on the part of either Party
to the other Party, provided that such termination shall not affect any rights or obligations which may have accrued prior to such termination or which expressly or by implication are intended to survive termination, whether resulting from
the event giving rise to the right to terminate or otherwise. 

  
 18 









 17. Compliance with Law. Each Party shall comply in all material respects with all
Applicable Laws in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including all applicable environmental, health and safety laws, rules and regulations. 

18. Duty to Mitigate. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, each Party shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to mitigate its losses or damages suffered in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall always act in a commercially reasonable manner in the performance of this Agreement. 

19. Confidentiality. 

(a) The existence and terms of this Agreement and information disclosed by or on behalf of either Party to the other Party or its
representatives in connection with this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information”) shall, during the term of this Agreement and until the expiration of thirty-six (36) months after this Agreement
and all Confirmations have terminated, be treated as confidential by each Party and shall not be disclosed in whole or part by either Party to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party. No breach of this
Section 19(a) shall entitle the other Party to terminate this Agreement. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 19(a),
neither Party shall be required to obtain the prior written consent of the other Party in respect of disclosure of Confidential Information: 

(i) to Affiliates of such Party, provided that such Party shall require such Affiliates to keep the Confidential Information confidential on
the same terms as are provided in this Section 19; 
 (ii) to Persons professionally engaged by or on behalf of such Party;

 (iii) to any Government Entity having jurisdiction over such Party, but only to the extent that such Party is required by such
Government Entity to make disclosure; 
 (iv) to any lenders or other providers of capital or prospective lenders or providers of capital
in connection with the financing or funding of such Party’s operations; 
 (v) to the extent reasonably required by any Applicable Law
or rule of any relevant stock exchange or to the extent required by any juridical, arbitral or administrative proceeding; or 
 (vi) to the
extent any disclosure is required to be made in the financial statements of either Party or any of its Affiliates or in publicly filed documents to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any Confirmations; 

provided, that the disclosing Party shall keep the disclosure of the Confidential Information to the minimum necessary for the purpose for which it is
disclosed and shall, as soon as reasonably practicable or permissible, notify the other Party of such disclosure. 

  
 19 









 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, either Party and its Affiliates shall be
permitted to include in documents filed with regulators regarding securities offered or to be offered of an Affiliate of such Party (and in any amendments thereto or related offering documents) any information regarding the Parties, this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (d) Neither Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party. 
 20. Taxes. Seller
shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes imposed on or with respect to the Biomass or a Confirmation arising prior to the point at which title and risk of loss transfer from Seller to Buyer. Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes imposed on or
with respect to the Biomass or a Confirmation at and from such point. In the event either Party is required by law or regulation to remit or pay taxes that are the other Party’s responsibility hereunder, the latter Party shall promptly
reimburse the former Party for such taxes. Nothing herein shall obligate or cause a Party to pay or be liable to pay any taxes for which it is exempt under the law. Seller acknowledges that Buyer intends to export the Biomass outside of the United
States via the Terminal. Seller warrants the free export of the Biomass from the United States and any export licenses, restrictions and quotas that are required which are introduced in the United States after the Effective Date up to the moment of
delivery. 
 21. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. 

(a) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT
REGARD TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW RULES (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). 
 (b) Exclusion. The United
Nations Convention on Contracts for International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. 
 (c) Dispute Resolution. Other
than any Technical Dispute, any dispute arising from this Agreement (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement or the consequences of its nullity), shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration
under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”), which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 21(c) except as expressly amended by this Section 21(c).
The tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators, two (2) of whom shall be nominated by the respective Parties and the third of whom shall be jointly selected by the two arbitrators selected by the Parties. The seat of the arbitration
and the venue of all hearings shall be New York, NY and the language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitral tribunal shall have power to award on a provisional basis any relief that it would have power to grant on a final award. Without
prejudice to the powers of an arbitrator provided by the Rules, by statute or otherwise, the arbitral tribunal shall have power at any time, on the basis of written evidence and the submissions of the Parties alone, to make an award in favor of the
claimant (or the respondent if a counterclaim) in respect of any claims or counterclaims to which there is no reasonably arguable defense (either substantively or as to the amount of any damages or other


  
 20 









 
sums to be awarded). The Parties hereby agree to exclude any rights to refer points of law or to appeal to the courts to the extent that they can validly waive these rights under Applicable Law,
provided, that nothing in this Section 21(c) shall be construed as preventing either Party from seeking conservatory or similar interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

(d) Technical Disputes. If the Parties are unable to resolve any Technical Dispute in the ordinary course of business, either Party
may, by notice to the other Party, refer the Technical Dispute to a Technical Expert selected in accordance with the procedures set forth in Schedule B.

effective date of each Confirmation: 
 (a) it is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and
has all necessary authorizations required by Applicable Law to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than those authorizations the failure of which to obtain could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its
ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement); 
 (b) it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and
to perform its obligations hereunder, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Party; this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Party
and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party enforceable in accordance with its terms; 
 (c) the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by such Party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not contravene the constitutive documents of such Party and do not conflict with or result in a breach of or default under any indenture,
mortgage, lease, agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order or ruling to which such Party is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound or affected; 

(d) all Permits required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Party have been obtained or, to
the extent not yet required in connection with the performance of this Agreement, will be obtained by the time when they are required in connection with the performance of this Agreement; and 

(e) save for the representations and warranties made in this Section 22, it has not entered into this Agreement in reliance on any
warranty or representation made by the other Party or its employees or agents.

faith to agree to a mutually satisfactory valid and enforceable substitute provision implementing to the fullest extent possible the intentions of the Parties at the Effective Date or the time the relevant Confirmation was executed. 

(i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, together with all Confirmations) constitutes the entire agreement of
the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except as herein stated and in the instruments and documents to be executed and delivered pursuant hereto, contains all of the representations, undertakings and agreements of the Parties in
respect of the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior meetings, correspondence, and negotiations between the Parties. There are no representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or collateral understandings, oral or otherwise
(express or implied) of any kind between the Parties in respect of the subject matter hereof, except as contained herein. 
 (j) Rights

expressly provided, for the benefit of the Financing Parties, and shall not imply or create any rights on the part of, or obligations to, any other Person. 

(l) Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original,
but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Any executed counterpart may be delivered in portable document format (.pdf) or by other electronic means and, when so delivered, shall be legally enforceable in accordance with
its terms. 
 (m) No Agency. No Party shall be deemed hereunder to be an agent of, or partner or joint venturer with, any other
Party. 
 (n) Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this clause (n), neither Party may directly or indirectly assign
its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Confirmation), in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be


  
 23 









 
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and any purported assignment made other than in accordance with this clause (n) shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the following are permitted: 
 (i) collateral assignment by a Party to its Financing Parties, and further
assignment by such Financing Parties following any foreclosure of their security interest in this Agreement, in which case neither such Party nor its Financing Parties shall have any liability with respect to the future performance of this Agreement
(or the relevant Confirmation); and 
 (ii) assignment by a Party to its Affiliate; provided, however, that, in
the case of an assignment by a Party to an Affiliate without consent, the assigning Party shall remain jointly and severally liable for the assigned obligations and shall notify the other Party of the assignment (and identify the name of, and notice
address information for, such Affiliate) unless in the case of an assignment by either Party the assignment is made to: (A) the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of such Party (including by operation of law), (B) in the
case of an assignment by ELP, a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ELP so long as the performance of all such subsidiary’s obligations under this Agreement is guaranteed by ELP, (C) any other Affiliate of Buyer or Seller, as
applicable, if the performance of all such Affiliate’s obligations under this Agreement is guaranteed by the assigning Party, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the non-assigning Party, or (D) any other Person reasonably
satisfactory to the non-assigning Party, as applicable, in which case, in each of the foregoing sub-sections (A) through (D), the assigning Party (except as expressly set forth in sub-sections (B) and (C), as may be applicable, above)
shall have no liability with respect to the future performance of this Agreement. 
 (o) Attorneys’ Fees. The Parties agree that
in the event either of the Parties institutes legal proceedings to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement, all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the substantially prevailing Party shall be reimbursed by the other Party.

(i) headings and titles are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement; 

(ii) the gender of all words used herein shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter and the number of all words shall
include the singular and plural;

(b) Within ten Business Days following receipt of a Party’s notice referring a Technical Dispute for resolution in accordance with the
provisions of this Schedule B, the representatives of each of the Parties will confer in an effort to agree upon a Technical Expert to hear the Technical Dispute. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the appointment of a Technical Expert,
then at the end of such ten Business Day period each Party will, within five Business Days, notify the other Party in writing of its designation of three proposed Technical Experts. Each Party will promptly strike two of the proposed Technical
Experts designated by the other Party. The remaining two proposed Technical Experts will, within two Business Days, select one of them to hear the Technical Dispute, provided that if one of the Parties still objects to the Technical Dispute
being heard by such selected Technical Expert, then, within two Business Days, such two proposed Technical Experts will select a third Technical Expert (who may be one of the Technical Experts designated by the Parties or another Technical Expert)
and such third Technical Expert will hear the Technical Dispute. 
  

	2.	Submission to Technical Expert 

 Each Party will be required to put forth and endorse
one proposal as its proposed resolution to the Technical Dispute, based on an agreed statement of the nature of the Technical Dispute and agreed facts surrounding such Technical Dispute. Each Party’s proposal will be delivered to the Technical
Expert and the other parties to such Technical Dispute no later than 45 days after the date of the notice of the Party submitting the Technical Dispute to the Technical Expert. The Technical Expert will be required to select one of the proposals and
will not be able to select any other proposal, except to the extent mutually agreed by the parties to such Technical Dispute. 
  

	3.	Decision of the Technical Expert 

 (a) The Technical Expert will render a decision
resolving the matter within 60 days of the date of the notice of the Party submitting such matter for resolution by the Technical Expert. The Technical Expert will not award to either Party any relief greater than that initially sought by such
Party. The decision of the Technical Expert will be final and binding upon the
