 Exhibit 4.3 

WARRANT AGREEMENT 

WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 30, 2016, between Foresight Energy LP, a Delaware limited
partnership (the “Partnership”), American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability trust company (the “Warrant Agent”). 

W I T N E S S E T H 

WHEREAS, the Partnership desires to issue warrants (“Warrants”) entitling the holder or holders thereof to purchase common
units, each representing a limited partner interest in the Partnership (the “Common Units”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the form of Warrant Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Warrant Certificate”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Partnership desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Partnership, and
the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange and exercise of the Warrants. 
 NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1.
Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Warrant Certificate. 

Section 2. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Partnership hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Partnership in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Partnership may from time to time appoint such Co-Warrant Agents as it may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. 

Section 3. Warrant Statements; Warrant Certificates. The Warrants shall be issued by book-entry registration on the books of the
Warrant Agent and the issuance thereof shall be confirmed by statements delivered by the Warrant Agent from time to time, including within five (5) days of the initial issuance thereof, to the Holders reflecting such book-entry position;
provided, however, that, at the request of any Holder, the Warrants held by such Holder shall be evidenced by Warrant Certificates which shall be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and may have such marks of identification
or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Partnership may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or
regulation made pursuant thereto. 
 Section 4. Signature; Registration. The Warrant Certificates shall be executed on behalf of
the Partnership by its, or its general partner’s, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, treasurer or assistant treasurer or secretary or assistant secretary, either manually or by facsimile signature. In case any officer of the
Partnership or its general partner who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer of the Partnership or its general partner before issuance and delivery by the Partnership, such Warrant Certificates,
nevertheless, may be issued and delivered with the same force and effect as though the person who signed such Warrant Certificate had not ceased to be such officer of the Partnership or its general partner; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed
on behalf of the Partnership by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Partnership or its general partner to sign such Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the
execution of this Agreement any such person was not such an officer. 

  
 1 

 The Warrant Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at its offices or at the office of one of its
agents, books for registration and transfer of the Warrant Certificates issued hereunder, or dematerialized evidence of beneficial ownership of such Warrants for any Warrants issued by book-entry registration on the books of the Warrant Agent. Such
books shall show the names and addresses of the respective Holders of the Warrants and the number of Warrants beneficially owned by each respective Holder. 

Section 8 of the Warrant Certificate is incorporated herein by reference. 

Section 5. Exercise of Warrants. The Warrants shall be exercisable on the terms and according to the procedures as set forth in
the Warrant Certificate. Such terms and procedures set forth therein are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a Holder electing to exercise a Warrant by Cashless Exercise, the Partnership shall calculate and promptly transmit to the
Warrant Agent, and the Warrant Agent shall have no obligation under this Section 5 to calculate, the number of Common Units to be issued. Such notification shall be made as promptly as practicable following (but in no event later than five
(5) Business Days following) receipt by the Partnership of such Holder’s Warrant Exercise Documentation. 
 Section 6.
Cancellation and Destruction of Warrant Certificates. All Warrant Certificates surrendered for the purpose of exercise, transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Partnership or to any of its agents, be delivered to the Warrant Agent
for cancellation or in cancelled form, or, if surrendered to the Warrant Agent, shall be cancelled by it, and no Warrant Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of the Warrant Certificate.
The Partnership shall deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Warrant Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Warrant Certificate purchased or acquired by the Partnership otherwise than upon the exercise thereof.
Subject to the requirements of applicable law regarding the retention of cancelled securities, and in particular but not by way of limitation, Rule 17Ad-6 and 17Ad-7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Warrant Agent shall deliver
all cancelled Warrant Certificates to the Partnership, or shall, at the written request of the Partnership, destroy such cancelled Warrant Certificates, and in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Partnership. 

Section 7. Certain Representations; Reservation and Availability of Common Units; 

(a) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Partnership and, assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery hereof by the Warrant Agent, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Partnership enforceable against the Partnership in accordance with its terms, and the Warrants have been duly authorized, and once executed
and issued by the Partnership, shall constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Partnership enforceable against the Partnership in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits hereof; in each case, except as enforceability
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law). 
 (b) The Warrant Agent will create one or more special accounts for the issuance of Common
Units to be issued upon the exercise of Warrants.

 Section 8. Adjustments. The Exercise Price and the Number Issuable are subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 2 of the Warrant Certificate. Such terms and procedures set forth therein are incorporated herein by reference. 

Section 9. Certification of Number of Common Units. Whenever the Number Issuable and/or Exercise Price is adjusted as provided in
Section 2 of the Warrant Certificate, the Partnership shall promptly deliver to the Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for the Common Units a copy of the notice and certificate that the Partnership is required to deliver to the registered
holder of Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Certificate. The Warrant Agent shall be under no responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in such notice or certificate relating either to the kind or amount of securities or
other property receivable upon exercise of Warrants or with respect to the method employed and provided therein for any adjustments and shall be entitled to rely upon the provisions contained in any such notice or certificate. The provisions of this
Section 9 shall similarly apply to successive Transactions. 
 Section 10. Concerning the Warrant Agent. The Partnership
shall pay fees for the services rendered by the Warrant Agent hereunder as set forth in the proposal attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Warrant Agent shall also be entitled to receive from time to time, on demand of the Warrant Agent, its
reasonable and documented expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. 

The Partnership also covenants and agrees to indemnify and to hold the Warrant Agent harmless against any costs, expenses (including
reasonable fees of its legal counsel), losses or damages, which may be paid, incurred or suffered by or to which it may become subject, arising from or out of, directly or indirectly, any claims or liability resulting from its actions as Warrant
Agent pursuant hereto; provided, that such covenant and agreement does not extend to, and the Warrant Agent shall not be indemnified with respect to, such costs, expenses, losses and damages incurred or suffered by the Warrant Agent as a result of,
or arising out of, the Warrant Agent’s refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement, or which result from or arise out of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct. 

Promptly after the receipt by the Warrant Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, the Warrant Agent shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Partnership, promptly notify the Partnership thereof in writing. The Partnership shall be entitled to participate as its own expense in the defense of
any such claim or proceeding, and, if it so elects at any time after receipt of such notice, it may assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such claim or of any other legal action or proceeding. For the purposes of this
Section 10, the term “expense or loss” means any amount paid or payable to satisfy any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled with the express written consent of the Warrant Agent, and all reasonable costs and expenses,
including, but not limited to, reasonable and documented counsel fees and disbursements, paid or incurred in investigating or defending against any such claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding or investigation. 

The Warrant Agent shall be responsible for and shall indemnify and hold the Partnership harmless from and against any and all losses, damages,
costs, charges, counsel fees, payments, expenses and liability arising out of or attributable to the Warrant Agent’s refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement, or which arise out of Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct or which arise out of the breach of any representation or warranty of the Warrant Agent hereunder, for which the Warrant Agent is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement;

  
 3 

 
provided, however, that the Warrant Agent’s aggregate liability during any term of this Agreement with respect to, arising from, or arising in connection with this Agreement, or from all
services provided or omitted to be provided under this Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise, is limited to, and shall not exceed, the amounts paid under this Agreement by the Partnership to the Warrant Agent as fees and charges.

 Promptly after the receipt by the Partnership of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, the Partnership shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Warrant Agent, notify the Warrant Agent thereof in writing. The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of any
such claim or proceeding, and, if it so elects at any time after receipt of such notice, it may assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such claim or of any other legal action or proceeding. For the purposes of this Section 10,
the term “expense or loss” means any amount paid or payable to satisfy any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled with the express written consent of the Partnership, and all reasonable costs and expenses, including, but not
limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, paid or incurred in investigating or defending against any such claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding or investigation. 

Section 11. Purchase or Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent. Any entity into which the Warrant Agent or any successor
Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent shall be party, or any entity succeeding to the trust business of
the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such Person
would be eligible for appointment as a successor Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section 13. 
 Section 12. Duties of
Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Partnership shall be bound: 

(a) The Warrant Agent may consult with legal counsel (who, with the permission of the Partnership, may be legal counsel for the
Partnership), and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Warrant Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion. 

(b) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that
any fact or matter be proved or established by the Partnership prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by a certificate signed by the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, treasurer or assistant treasurer or secretary or assistant secretary of the Partnership or its general partner and delivered to the Warrant
Agent; and such certificate shall be full authentication and authorization to the Warrant Agent for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. 

(c) The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or its
refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to Section 10 above. 

  
 4 

 (d) The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the
statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Partnership only. 

(e) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and
delivery hereof (except the due execution hereof by the Warrant Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Warrant Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Partnership of any covenant or condition contained in
this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for the adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the Number Issuable required under the provisions of Section 2 of the Warrant Certificate or responsible for the manner,
method or amount of any such change or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment or change (except with respect to the exercise of Warrants evidenced by Warrant Certificates after actual notice of any
adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the Number Issuable); nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Common Units to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or
any Warrant Certificate or as to whether any Common Units will, when issued, be duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Limited
Partnership Act). 
 (f) The Partnership agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be
performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Warrant Agent of the provisions of this
Agreement. 
 (g) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties
hereunder from the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, general counsel, treasurer or assistant treasurer or secretary or assistant secretary of the Partnership or its general partner, and to apply to such officers for advice or
instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable and shall be fully indemnified and held harmless for any action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer, provided
Warrant Agent carries out such instructions without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
 (h) Under the terms
of this Agreement, the Warrant Agent and any equity holder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent may become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Partnership may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the
Partnership or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Partnership or for any other legal entity. 

(i) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder
either itself or by or through its attorney or agents, and the Warrant Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorney or agents or for any loss to the Partnership resulting from any such
act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof.

 Section 13. Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign and be discharged
from its duties under this Agreement upon 30 days’ notice in writing mailed to the Partnership and to each transfer agent of the Common Units by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Warrants by first-class mail. The
Partnership may remove the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent upon 30 days’ notice in writing, mailed to the Warrant Agent or successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent of the Common Units by registered or
certified mail, and to the holders of the Warrants by first-class mail. If the Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Partnership shall appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent. If the Partnership
shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent or by the holder of a Warrant, then the
registered holder of any Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Warrant Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Partnership or by such a court, shall be an entity organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States or of a state thereof, in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which has at the
time of its appointment as Warrant Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. After appointment, the successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally
named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance,
act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Partnership shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Warrant Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Units, and mail a notice
thereof in writing to the registered holders of the Warrants. However, failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 13, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant
Agent or the appointment of the successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be. 
 Section 14. Issuance of New Warrant
Certificates. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Warrants to the contrary, the Partnership may, at its option, issue new Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants in such form as may be approved by the board of
directors of the Partnership’s general partner to reflect any adjustment or change in the Exercise Price and the number or kind or class of equity interests or other securities or property purchasable under the several Warrant Certificates to
the extent any such adjustment or change is made in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Certificates. 
 Section 15. Holders of
Warrants Not Deemed an Equityholder. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Warrant Certificate, the Partnership Agreement or as required by applicable law, no holder, as such, of any Warrant shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends
or distributions on, or be deemed for any purpose the holder of Common Units or any other securities of the Partnership which may at any time be issuable on the exercise of such Warrants, nor shall anything contained herein or in any Warrant
Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any Warrant, as such, any of the rights of an equityholder of the Partnership or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to equityholders at any meeting
thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any limited partnership action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting equityholders, or to receive dividends or distributions or subscription rights, or otherwise, until such Warrants
shall have been exercised in accordance with the provisions thereof. 
 Section 16. Notices. Notices or demands authorized by
this Agreement to be given or made (i) by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of any Warrant to or on the Partnership, (ii) subject to 

  
 6 

 
the provisions of Section 13, by the Partnership or by the holder of any Warrant to or on the Warrant Agent or (iii) by the Partnership or the Warrant Agent to the holder of any
Warrant, shall be deemed given and received (a) when delivered by hand, if personally delivered; (b) one Business Day following the date delivered to a courier with overnight delivery requested, if delivered by a recognized commercial
overnight courier service guaranteeing next Business Day delivery; and (c) three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed, in each case to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a
party as shall be specified by like notice): 
 (a) If to the Partnership, to: 

Foresight Energy LP 
 211 North

(b) If to the Warrant Agent, to: 

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC 

6201 15th Avenue

(c) If to the holder of any Warrant, to the address of such holder as shown on the registry books of the Partnership. Any
notice required to be delivered by the Partnership to the registered holder of any Warrant may be given by the Warrant Agent on behalf of the Partnership. 

Section 17. Supplements and Amendments. 

(a) The Partnership and the Warrant Agent may from time to time agree to supplement or amend this Agreement without the
approval of any holders of Warrants in order to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein, or to make any other provisions with regard to
matters or questions arising hereunder which the Partnership and the Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of Warrants or be inconsistent with the terms of the Warrants (it
being understood that any amendment or supplement to this Agreement that increases the Exercise Price or decreases the Number Issuable shall be deemed to adversely affect the interests of the holders of Warrants). 

(b) In addition to the foregoing, with the consent of holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the issued and outstanding Warrants,
the Partnership and the Warrant Agent may modify this Agreement for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the
Warrants; provided, that any Warrants held by the Partnership, any subsidiaries of the Partnership, the general partner of the Partnership, any of the members of the general partner of the Partnership or any affiliates of any of the foregoing
(other than any such affiliate that may be deemed to be such an affiliate solely as a result of holding Exchangeable PIK Notes) shall be disregarded from the determination as to whether the requisite holders of Warrants have consented to any such
modification. 

  
 7 

 Section 18. Successors. All covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the
benefit of the Partnership or the Warrant Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder. 

Section 19. Benefits of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Person other than the Partnership,
the Warrant Agent and the holders of Warrants any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; but this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Partnership, the Warrant Agent and the holders of Warrants. 

Section 20. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York
without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof. 
 Section 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts and each of such counterpart shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

Section 22. Captions. The captions of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall not control
or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. 
 Section 23. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its reasonable control including, without limitation, acts of God, terrorist acts, shortage of supply,
breakdowns or malfunctions, interruptions or malfunction of computer facilities, or loss of data due to power failures or mechanical difficulties with information storage or retrieval systems, labor difficulties, war, or civil unrest.

 Exhibit A 

Form of Warrant Certificate 

 THE WARRANT(S) EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN, AND THE SECURITIES WHICH MAY BE PURCHASED PURSUANT
TO THE EXERCISE OF WARRANT(S) EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “WARRANT SECURITIES,” AND TOGETHER WITH THIS WARRANT, THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND NONE OF THE SECURITIES OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THE SAME ARE REGISTERED AND QUALIFIED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS
WARRANT CERTIFICATE MUST BE SURRENDERED TO THE PARTNERSHIP OR ITS TRANSFER AGENT AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THE SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF WARRANT(S) EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE OR ANY INTEREST IN ANY OF THE WARRANT SECURITIES. 

THE WARRANT SECURITIES WILL ONLY BE DEPOSITED WITH OR ON BEHALF OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (“DTC”) FOLLOWING A DETERMINATION BY
FORESIGHT ENERGY GP LLC THAT SUCH WARRANT SECURITIES HAVE LIKE INTRINSIC ECONOMIC AND UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CHARACTERISTICS, IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS, TO THE INTRINSIC ECONOMIC AND UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
COMMON UNITS THEN HELD THROUGH DTC. 
 WARRANT NO.             

WARRANT 
 TO PURCHASE
COMMON UNITS 
 OF 

FORESIGHT ENERGY LP 
 This
warrant certificate (this “Warrant Certificate”) certifies that [warrant holder] or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is the owner of
[            ] warrants (“Warrants”), each of which entitles the Holder to purchase from FORESIGHT ENERGY LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Partnership”), a number of duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Limited Partnership Act (the
“Delaware LP Act”)) Common Unit(s) equal to the Number Issuable (as defined below) (subject to adjustment in Section 2), at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period (as defined below), at an exercise
price of $0.8928 per Common Unit (subject to adjustment in Section 2, the “Exercise Price”), all on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth. 

 The Number Issuable is subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2 of this Warrant Certificate. 
 Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given
them in Section 11 hereof. 
 Section 1. Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the last paragraph of this
Section 1, the Warrants evidenced hereby may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder at any time or from time to time during the period commencing on the Redemption/Purchase Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the date immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the Redemption/Purchase Date (the “Exercise Period”), upon delivery to the Partnership at the registered office of the Partnership set forth in Section 12, of:
(a) only if an original counterpart of this Warrant Certificate is actually physically delivered to the Holder, this Warrant Certificate or any affidavit of loss (accompanied by any indemnity, medallion guarantee or other undertaking or
assurance reasonably requested from the Holder by the Partnership, its Transfer Agent or its warrant agent, as the case may be) if the Holder does not have possession of this Warrant Certificate at the time of exercise, (b) a written notice
stating that the Holder elects to exercise all or a specified number of Warrants evidenced hereby in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1 and specifying the name or names in which the Holder wishes the Common Units to be
issued (including, if certificated, the certificate or certificates for Common Units to be issued) and (c) payment of the Exercise Price for the Common Units issuable upon exercise of such Warrants. Such Exercise Price shall be payable
(i) by wire transfer or a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Partnership or (ii) by electing (and without the payment of the Exercise Price in cash) that the Partnership deduct from the number of Common Units
otherwise to be delivered to the Holder upon exercise of the Warrants a number of Common Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate Exercise Price to be paid by (y) the Market Price of one Common Unit on the
Business Day which immediately precedes the day of exercise of the Warrants. An exercise of a Warrant in accordance with clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence is herein referred to as a “Cashless Exercise” and the
Holder shall specify in the written notice provided pursuant to this Section 1 that it is electing to make a Cashless Exercise. The documentation and consideration, if any, delivered in accordance with subsections (a), (b) and
(c) of this paragraph are collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Exercise Documentation.” For the avoidance of doubt, if the Note Redemption does not occur on or prior to October 3, 2017, the Warrants shall not
become exercisable, shall have no value (except as contemplated pursuant to Section 2(b)) and shall be surrendered to the Partnership promptly thereafter. No consideration shall be required to be paid by the Partnership or its Affiliates
in exchange for such surrender. 
 As promptly as practicable, and in any event within five Business Days after receipt of the Warrant
Exercise Documentation, the Partnership shall: (a) (i) to the extent that the Partnership’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is participating in The Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder of the Warrants, credit such aggregate number of Common Units to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance
account with DTC through 

  
 2 

 
its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (ii) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, deliver or cause to be delivered,
the certificates, if certificated, or if not certificated then in book-entry form at the Transfer Agent, representing the number of validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 17-607
and 17-804 of the Delaware LP Act) Common Units properly specified in the Warrant Exercise Documentation, (b) if applicable, deliver or cause to be delivered cash in lieu of any fraction of a Common Unit, as hereinafter provided, and
(c) if less than the full number of Warrants evidenced hereby are being exercised, deliver or cause to be delivered, a new warrant certificate or certificates, of like tenor, for the number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate,
less the number of Warrants then being exercised. Such exercise shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of delivery of all of the Warrant Exercise Documentation to the Partnership so that, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Person entitled to receive Common Units upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of such Common Units at such time. Any exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby may be conditioned
upon the occurrence of an event or transaction that is specified in a written notice of exercise provided by or on behalf of the Holder pursuant to this Section 1, provided that such conditional exercise is only permitted with
respect to events for which notice was required to be provided to the Holder by or on behalf of the Partnership pursuant to Section 3 hereof. Such conditional exercise shall be deemed revoked if such event or transaction does not occur
on the date, or within the dates, specified in the applicable notice provided by or on behalf of the Partnership pursuant to Section 3 hereof (if such a notice was provided). 

The Partnership shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges (other than income taxes of the
Holder) that may be imposed in respect of, the issue or delivery of any Common Units issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby. The Partnership shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection
with any transfer involved in the issue of any Common Units in any name other than that of the Holder. 
 In connection with the exercise of
any Warrants evidenced hereby, no fractions of Common Units shall be issued, but in lieu thereof the Partnership shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to such fractional interest multiplied by the
Market Price of a Common Unit on the Business Day which immediately precedes the day of exercise. If more than one such Warrant shall be exercised by the Holder thereof at the same time, the number of full Common Units issuable on such exercise
shall be computed on the basis of the total number of Warrants so exercised. 
 Section 2. Adjustments. 

(a) Adjustment of Number Issuable and/or Exercise Price. The Number Issuable and/or the Exercise Price shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time as follows: 
 (i) In case the Partnership shall at any time or from time to time after the
Issue Date: 
 (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on the outstanding Common Units in Common Units; 

  
 3 

 (B) effect a forward split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Units into a
larger number of Common Units; or 
 (C) effect a reverse split or combination of the outstanding Common Units into a
smaller number of Common Units; 
 then, and in each such case of any of the events described in clauses (A) through
(C) above, (I) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be equal to the product of (x) the Exercise Price immediately prior to the occurrence of such event and (y) a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the number of Common
Units outstanding as of immediately prior to the occurrence of such event and (2) the denominator of which is the number of Common Units outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such event, and (II) the Number Issuable in effect
immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Partnership to effect such adjustment) so that the number of Common Units issuable upon exercise of a Warrant immediately after the occurrence
of any such event shall equal the number of Common Units obtained by multiplying (x) the Number Issuable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event by (y) a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the Exercise
Price immediately prior to the adjustment in Section 2(a)(i)(I) above and (2) the denominator of which is the Exercise Price immediately after the adjustment in Section 2(a)(i)(I) above. An adjustment made pursuant to
this Section 2(a)(i) shall become effective retroactively (x) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, to a date immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of Common
Units entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, or (y) in the case of any such split, subdivision or combination, to the close of business on the date upon which such action becomes effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
adjustment to the Number Issuable shall be made pursuant to this Section 2(a)(i) for any event described in this Section 2(a)(i) that occurs prior to the Redemption/Purchase Date; provided, however, that, the Exercise
Price shall adjust for any event described in this Section 2(a)(i) that occurs prior to the Redemption/Purchase Date. 

(ii) In case the Partnership shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date distribute to any holder of Common
Units (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Partnership is the resulting or surviving entity and the Common Units are not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of indebtedness of the
Partnership or another issuer, securities of the Partnership or another issuer or other assets or property (excluding: (i) dividends or other distributions of Common Units for which adjustment is made under Section 2(a)(i);
(ii) cash distributions made to the holders of Common Units to enable such holders to pay taxes incurred by such holders as a result of allocations to such holders of items of income and gain 

  
 4 

 
arising from the operations of the Partnership and its subsidiaries and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, any rights offering made to the holders of Partnership Units (other than Reserves,
Michael J. Beyer or Murray or any of their respective Affiliates) in connection with the Note Redemption) or rights, options, securities or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Partnership or another issuer (excluding:
(i) those in respect of which an adjustment in the Number Issuable is made pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) or Section 2(a)(iv); and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, any rights offering made to the holders of Partnership
Units (other than Reserves, Michael J. Beyer or Murray or any of their respective Affiliates) in connection with the Note Redemption) (each, a “Distribution”), then, and in each such case, (I) the Exercise Price shall be
decreased to the Exercise Price determined by multiplying (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Distribution by (y) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is an amount equal to (A) the Market
Price of a Common Unit on the second Business Day preceding the first date on which the Common Units trade regular way without the right to receive such Distribution minus (B) the Fair Market Value of the Distribution (determined as of
the date of such Distribution) applicable to one Common Unit and (2) the denominator of which is the Market Price of a Common Unit on the second Business Day preceding the first date on which the Common Units trade regular way without the right
to receive such Distribution; and (II) the Number Issuable in effect immediately prior to such Distribution shall be increased (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Partnership to effect such increase) so that the number of Common
Units issuable upon exercise of a Warrant immediately after such Distribution shall equal the number of Common Units obtained by dividing (x) the number of Common Units issuable upon exercise of a Warrant immediately prior to such
Distribution by (y) the fraction described in Section 2(a)(ii)(I)(y) above. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such Distribution is made and shall become effective retroactively to a date immediately following the
close of business on the record date for the determination of unitholders entitled to receive such Distribution. 
 (iii) In
case the Partnership shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date make any payment or distribution in respect of any tender offer or exchange offer for Common Units where the Fair Market Value of the consideration per Common Unit when
paid by the Partnership exceeds the Market Price of a Common Unit acquired in such tender offer or exchange offer as of the Business Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of the tender offer or exchange offer (the aggregate excess
amount for all Common Units acquired in such tender offer or exchange offer, the “Excess Tender Amount”) (excluding a tender offer or exchange offer to effect the Note Redemption), then, and in each such case, (I) the Exercise
Price to be in effect after the tender offer or exchange offer expires shall be decreased to the Exercise Price determined by multiplying (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the expiration date
of the tender offer or exchange offer (the “Offer Expiration Date”) by (y) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is (A) the Market Price of a Common Unit on the Business Day immediately preceding

  
 5 

 
the first public announcement of the tender offer or exchange offer, minus (B) the Excess Tender Amount divided by the number of Common Units outstanding immediately after the
expiration of the tender offer or exchange offer (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of Common Units), and (2) the denominator of which is the Market Price of a Common Unit on the Business Day immediately preceding the first public
announcement of the tender offer or exchange offer; and (II) the Number Issuable shall be increased (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Partnership to effect such increase) so that the number of Common Units issuable upon
exercise of a Warrant immediately after the occurrence of such exchange offer or tender offer shall equal the number of Common Units obtained by dividing (x) the number of Common Units issuable upon exercise of a Warrant immediately
prior to the close of business on the Offer Expiration Date by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in
effect immediately before such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such exchange offer or tender offer is consummated. 

(iv) In case the Partnership shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date distribute to all holders of Common
Units any rights, options or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after the first date on which the Common Units trade regular way without the right to receive such distribution (such date, the
“Ex-Dividend Date”), Common Units for less than the Market Price of Common Units on the Business Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of such distribution, then, and in each such case, (I) the Exercise Price
shall be decreased to the Exercise Price determined by multiplying (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Ex-Dividend Date, by (y) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is
(A) the number of Common Units outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date plus (B) the number of Common Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate exercise price payable to
exercise all such rights, options or warrants by the Market Price of a Common Unit on the Business Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of such distribution, and (2) the denominator of which is (A) the number of
Common Units outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date plus (B) the number of Common Units issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants, and (II) the Number Issuable shall be increased (and
any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Partnership to effect such increase) so that the number of Common Units issuable upon exercise of a Warrant immediately after the occurrence of such distribution shall equal the number of Common
Units obtained by dividing (x) the number of Common Units issuable upon exercise of a Warrant immediately prior to the close of business on the Ex-Dividend Date by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise
Price in effect immediately after such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is consummated. 

  
 6 

 (v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this
Section 2(a) need be made to the Number Issuable unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Number Issuable then in effect. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the
time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such Number Issuable. Any adjustment to the Number Issuable
carried forward and not theretofore made shall be made immediately prior to the exercise of any Warrants pursuant hereto or any adjustment or redemption of any Warrants pursuant to Section 2(b). 

(vi) The Partnership shall deliver to the Holder promptly following the occurrence of any event or the consummation of any
transaction which would result in an increase or decrease in the Number Issuable and/or Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2(a) a notice thereof, together with a certificate, signed by the chief executive officer, the chief
financial officer, the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the General Partner, setting forth in reasonable detail the event or transaction requiring the adjustment and the method by which such
adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased Number Issuable and Exercise Price then in effect following such adjustment; provided, however, that with respect to any notice that relates to an event or transaction
that occurs prior to the Redemption/Purchase Date, such notice need not specify the exact Number Issuable, but rather shall specify the proportionate increase thereof if the Number Issuable was known on the date of the delivery of such notice.
Promptly following the Redemption/Purchase Date (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the Redemption/Purchase Date), the Partnership shall notify the Holder of the Number Issuable as of the Redemption/Purchase Date, the
Total Unit Number and the Total Common Unit Number (such notification to include reasonably detailed calculations of such numbers). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating the Number Issuable as of the Redemption/Purchase Date, if
any event or transaction (or events or transactions) shall have occurred prior to the Redemption/Purchase Date that required an adjustment to the Number Issuable pursuant to Section 2 hereof, then the Number Issuable as of the
Redemption/Purchase Date shall be determined by taking into account such adjustment(s) and, if more than one such event or transaction shall have occurred, such determination shall be made by taking into account such events and/or transactions in
the order in which such events and/or transactions shall have occurred. 
 (vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 2(a), the Partnership shall be entitled to make such upward adjustments in the Number Issuable, in addition to those otherwise required by this Section 2(a), as the board of directors of the General
Partner in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any equity dividend, split, subdivision or combination of equity interests, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase equity interests or

  
 7 

 
securities or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units hereafter made by the Partnership to its equityholders shall not be taxable; provided,
however, that any such adjustment shall treat all holders of Warrants with similar protections on an equal basis. 

(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2(a), (x) any adjustment to the
Exercise Price or Number Issuable shall be void ab initio (and shall be of no force or effect) to the extent that such adjustment would result in a violation of law by the Partnership as a direct result of such adjustment, and (y) no
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) or Section 2(a)(iii) shall be made to the extent such adjustment results in an Exercise Price being zero or a negative number (it being understood that any such
adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) or Section 2(a)(iii) that would otherwise result in the Exercise Price being zero or a negative number shall reduce the Exercise Price to $0.01). 

(b) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. In case of any purchase, acquisition,
capital reorganization or reclassification in which all of the outstanding Common Units are sold for cash and/or exchanged for other securities or assets (other than as a result of a split, subdivision or combination to which
Section 2(a)(i) applies), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Partnership with or into another Person (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Partnership is the resulting or surviving Person and which does not
result in any reclassification or change of outstanding Common Units), or in case of any sale or other disposition to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, other than a sale/leaseback, mortgage or other similar
financing transaction (any of the foregoing, a “Transaction”), the Partnership shall not effect any such Transaction, unless, at the Partnership’s option, either (A) the Partnership, or such successor Person or transferee
of the Partnership, as the case may be, shall make appropriate provision by amendment of the Warrant Agreement or by the successor Person or transferee executing a replacement warrant agreement so that the Holder of each Warrant then outstanding
shall have the right at any time after the consummation of such Transaction, upon exercise or conversion of such Warrant (in lieu of the number of Common Units theretofore deliverable) to receive, at the Exercise Price, the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Transaction as would be received by a holder of the number of Common Units issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant immediately prior to such Transaction assuming such holder of
Common Units did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Transaction (provided that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such Transaction is not the same for each Common Unit in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“nonelecting unit”), then for the purposes of this Section 2(b) the kind
and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Transaction for each nonelecting unit shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per unit by a plurality of the nonelecting units), or (B) simultaneously with
the consummation of such Transaction, the Partnership shall redeem the Warrants and pay to the Holder, upon surrender of each such Warrant to the Partnership (only if an original counterpart of this 

  
 8 

 
Warrant Certificate is actually physically delivered to the Holder), in the same form of consideration as is received by holders of Common Units in such Transaction, an amount equal to the
positive difference between (y) the Fair Market Value of the consideration that would be received upon such consummation by a holder of the number of Common Units deliverable (immediately prior to such consummation) upon exercise of such
Warrants and (z) the aggregate Exercise Price therefor; provided, however, that in the event that the Transaction is an Affiliate Transaction and the consideration that would be received upon the consummation of such Affiliate
Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Units issuable upon exercise or conversion of a Warrant immediately prior to such Affiliate Transaction (determined utilizing the assumptions set forth in subclause (A) of this
Section 2(b)) is less than or equal to the Exercise Price, the Partnership shall not be permitted to redeem the Warrants pursuant to subclause (B) of this Section 2(b), but shall instead be entitled to elect to
redeem the Warrants by paying the Holder the Black-Scholes Value of the Warrants in cash simultaneously with the consummation of such Affiliate Transaction. The provisions of this Section 2(b) similarly shall apply to successive
Transactions. Any such amendment or agreement executed by the Partnership or the successor or transferee shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Section 2. Nothing in this Section 2(b) shall have any effect on the exercise of any Warrants made prior to, or in connection with, any Transaction. 

In the event that a redemption of Warrants pursuant to this Section 2(b) is consummated prior to the
Redemption/Purchase Date, the Number Issuable shall be determined (including determining the Total Unit Number and the Total Common Unit Number for such purpose) as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Transaction. In furtherance of the
foregoing, for purposes of making such determination, the Total Unit Number shall be calculated as of the date of such Transaction prior to giving effect to such Transaction. 

Section 3. Notice of Certain Events. In case at any time or from time to time the Partnership shall declare any dividend or any
other distribution to the holders of its Common Units, or shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Units of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any additional equity interests of any class or any other right, or
shall authorize the issuance or sale of any other equity interests or rights which would result in an adjustment to the Number Issuable, or shall commence an exchange offer or tender offer for Common Units, or there shall be any Transaction or any
other transaction or event that shall require an adjustment to the Number Issuable and/or the Exercise Price, then, in any one or more of such cases, the Partnership shall mail (or e-mail) to the Holder at the Holder’s address as it appears on
the transfer books of the Partnership, as promptly as practicable (but in any event no later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the earliest to occur of the record date, the effective date or the commencement date of any of
the foregoing), a notice stating (a) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or grant of distribution, rights, options or warrants or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the
Common Units of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants are to be determined, (b) the date of issuance of such equity interests or rights, (c) the date of the commencement of any such exchange
offer or tender offer and the Offer Expiration Date, or (d) the date on which such Transaction (or any other transaction or event not described in any of 

  
 9 

 
clauses (a)-(c) that shall require an adjustment to the Number Issuable and/or the Exercise Price) is expected to become effective. Until such time that the Partnership publicly discloses
the information that is the subject of any notice provided pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder shall keep (and shall cause its agents and Affiliates to keep) such notice and its contents confidential and shall not publicly disclose
(and shall cause its agents and Affiliates not to publicly disclose) such notice or its contents to any person (provided that the Holder may disclose such notice and its contents to its agents, Affiliates and advisors for the purpose of
seeking financial, legal or other advice reasonably related to such notice and its contents, and the Holder and its agents, Affiliates and advisors may disclose such notice and its contents as may be required by law, regulation or court order). In
case of any event described in Section 2(b), such notice also shall specify the date as of which it is expected that the holders of the Common Units of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Units for equity interests or other
securities or property or cash deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. 

Section 4. Authorized Units. The Partnership covenants and agrees that all Common Units which may be issued upon the exercise of
the Warrants evidenced hereby will be duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware LP Act) upon issuance and will be free and clear of
all liens and will not be subject to any pre-emptive or similar rights. 
 Section 5. Registered Holder. The person in whose
name this Warrant Certificate is registered shall be deemed the owner hereof and of the Warrants evidenced hereby for all purposes. The Holder of this Warrant Certificate, in its capacity as such, shall not be entitled to any rights whatsoever as a
holder of Common Units, except as herein provided or as provided in the Partnership Agreement. 
 Section 6. Certain Transfer and
Exercise Provisions. 
 (a) Transfer Provisions. Any transfer of the rights represented by this Warrant
Certificate shall be effected by (i) only if an original counterpart of this Warrant Certificate is actually physically delivered to the Holder, the surrender of this Warrant Certificate, and (ii) delivery of the form of assignment
attached hereto as Exhibit A, properly completed and executed by the Holder hereof, at the registered office of the Partnership as set forth in Section 12, subject to the restrictions below. Thereupon, the Partnership shall issue
in the name or names specified by the Holder hereof and, in the event of a partial transfer, in the name of the Holder hereof, a new warrant certificate or certificates evidencing the right to purchase such number of Common Units as shall be equal
to the then applicable Number Issuable. 
 (b) Legends. If applicable, the Common Units shall be imprinted with a
legend in substantially the following form: 
 THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THE SAME ARE REGISTERED AND QUALIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH 

  
 10 

 
SAID ACT AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. 
 (c) Transfer Restrictions. Before any proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any of the Warrants evidenced by
this Warrant Certificate or any Common Units issuable upon exercise of any of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction or unless
the securities are not restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act), the Holder shall give notice to the Partnership of the Holder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or other transfer. Each such notice shall
describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and the Holder must deliver evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Partnership to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer
of the restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act) may be effected without registration under the Securities Act (a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto being deemed to be satisfactory) and, if requested
by the Partnership, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership and its counsel that such disposition is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act (an opinion in the form of
Exhibit C hereto being deemed to be satisfactory), whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer the securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Partnership; provided,
however, that the Partnership shall pay or reimburse the Holder for any costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Holder in obtaining any such opinion (up to a maximum amount $1,000 per opinion). The Partnership will not require such
evidence in any transaction in which Holder distributes the Warrant or Common Units to an affiliate of such Holder for no consideration. Each certificate evidencing the restricted securities transferred as above provided shall bear, except if such
transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth above to the extent applicable. 

Section 7. Denominations. The Partnership covenants that it will, at its expense, promptly upon surrender of this Warrant
Certificate at the registered office of the Partnership as set forth in Section 12, execute and deliver to the Holder a new warrant certificate or certificates in denominations specified by the Holder for an aggregate number of Warrants
equal to the number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate. 
 Section 8. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of
evidence satisfactory to the Partnership of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership and the
Transfer Agent, or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Partnership will issue a new warrant certificate of like tenor for a number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate. 
 Section 9. Governing Law. THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE
RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE. 

  
 11 

 Section 10. Rights Inure to Registered Holder. The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Holder and the Partnership and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Warrant Certificate shall be construed to give to any Person other than the
Partnership and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Warrant Certificate, and this Warrant Certificate shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Partnership and such Holder. Nothing in this Warrant Certificate
shall be construed to give the Holder any rights as a holder of Common Units until such time, if any, as the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are exercised in accordance with the provisions hereof, except as herein provided and as

that all such Warrants are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 

In connection with the opinion hereinafter expressed, we have relied upon the representations of Seller contained in its certification to us

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 Based on the foregoing, and subject to
the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that the transfer of the Warrants from Seller to the transferee is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 

Attorneys involved in the preparation of this opinion are admitted to practice law in the State of New York and we do not purport to be
experts on, or to express any opinion herein concerning, any law other than the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America. 

We are furnishing this letter to you solely for your benefit in connection with the transfer of the Warrants. This letter is not to be relied
on by or furnished to any other person or used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose. We do not undertake by delivery of this opinion or otherwise to advise you of any change in any matter set forth herein, whether based
on a change in law or a change in any fact arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinion expressed herein. 
 Very truly yours,

REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

Section 2.01. Demand Registration. Upon the written request (a “Notice”) by Holders owning at least twenty
percent (20%) of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities, the Partnership shall file with the Commission, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event more than 90 days following the receipt of the Notice, a registration statement (each, a
“Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act to register the offer and sale of Registerable Securities that are Fungible Securities (which Registration Statement may, at the option of the Holders giving such Notice, be a
registration statement under the Securities Act that provides for the resale of the Registrable Securities that are Fungible Securities pursuant to Rule 415 from time to time by the Holders (a “Shelf Registration
Statement”)). The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after the initial filing of the Registration
Statement. Any Registration Statement shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders of any and all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement. The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.01 to be continuously effective, supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that it
is available for the resale of all Registrable Securities that are Fungible Securities by the Holders until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness
Period”). Each Registration Statement when effective (and the documents incorporated therein by reference) shall comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and shall not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. There shall be no limit on the number of Registration Statements that may be required
by the Holders hereunder. 
 Section 2.02. Underwritten and Redemptive Offerings. 

(a) Request for a Secondary Offering. If one or more Holders collectively elect to dispose of at least 2.5 million Registrable
Securities that are Fungible Securities (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.04) the Partnership shall, upon the written request (a “Secondary Offering Demand Notice”) by such Holders, retain underwriters in order to
permit such Holders to effect such sale through an Underwritten Offering (a “Secondary Offering”). The obligation of the Partnership to retain underwriters shall include the preparation and entry into an underwriting agreement,
in customary form, with the Managing Underwriter or underwriters, which shall include, among other provisions, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 2.08 and taking all reasonable actions as requested by the Managing
Underwriter or underwriters to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including causing its management to participate in a “roadshow” or similar marketing efforts. 

(b) Request for Equity-Financed Redemption. In lieu of a Secondary Offering pursuant to Section 2.02(a), the Partnership,
upon the written request (the “Redemption Demand Notice”) by such Holders (the “Redemptees”), shall use commercially reasonable efforts to undertake an equity financing consisting of (i) a public offering (including
an Underwritten Offering), (ii) a private placement or (iii) a combination of each (a “Primary Offering”), in each case, of an equal number of Common Units (the “Primary Units”). The net proceeds (after
Registration Expenses but before Selling Expenses) of such Primary Offering will be used to redeem from each Redemptee the number of Registrable Securities specified in each Redemptee’s Redemption Demand Notice (the
“Redemption”). The obligation of the Partnership to undertake the Primary Offering shall include the preparation and filing of an offering 

 
document, such as an offering memorandum or Registration Statement, as applicable, as well as the preparation and execution of a purchase agreement or underwriting agreement in customary form,
which shall include, among other provisions, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 2.08 and taking all reasonable actions as are requested by the Managing Underwriter or underwriters or placement agent (as
applicable, the “Selling Agent”), or, if no Selling Agent, the Redemptees, to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Primary Units, including causing its management to participate in a 

“roadshow” or similar marketing efforts. 

(c) Limitation on Offerings. In no event shall the Partnership be required hereunder to participate in more than an aggregate of
three Primary Offerings and Secondary Offerings under this Agreement in any twelve-month period. 
 (d) General Procedures. In
connection with any Primary Offering or Secondary Offering under this Agreement, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in such Underwritten Offering shall be entitled, subject to the Partnership’s consent (which is
not to be unreasonably withheld), to select the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters. In connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Agreement, each Selling Holder and the Partnership shall be obligated to enter into an underwriting
agreement that contains such representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations as are customary in underwriting agreements for firm commitment offerings of securities. No Selling Holder may participate in
such Underwritten Offering unless such Selling Holder agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in such underwriting agreement and completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreement. Each Selling Holder may, at its option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Partnership to and for
the benefit of such underwriters also be made to and for such Selling Holder’s benefit and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement also be conditions precedent to
such Selling Holder’s obligations. If any Selling Holder disapproves of the terms of an underwriting, such Selling Holder may elect to withdraw from the Underwritten Offering by notice to the Partnership and the Managing Underwriter;
provided, however, that such withdrawal must be made at a time prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. No such withdrawal shall affect the Partnership’s obligation to pay Registration Expenses. 

(e) Withdrawal. If any (i) Selling Holder disapproves of the terms of a Secondary Offering or (ii) Redemptee disapproves of the
terms of a Primary Offering, such Person may elect to withdraw its request that the Partnership undertake such offering by written notice to the Partnership; provided, however, that such withdrawal must be made at a time prior to the time of pricing
of such offering. No such withdrawal shall affect the Partnership’s obligation to pay Registration Expenses, if applicable. 

Section 2.03. Piggyback Rights. 

(a) Participation. If the Partnership proposes to file (i) a registration statement or (ii) a prospectus supplement to an
effective Shelf Registration Statement and Holders may be included in the offering to which such prospectus supplement relates without the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, for the sale of
Common Units in an Underwritten Offering for its own account and/or another Person, then as soon as practicable following the engagement of counsel by the Partnership to prepare the documents to be used in connection with such Underwritten Offering,
the Partnership shall give notice (which may be given by electronic mail) of such proposed Underwritten Offering to each Holder holding at least one million Registrable Securities (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 3.04) and
such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to 

 
include in such Underwritten Offering such number of Registrable Securities that are Fungible Securities (the “Included Registrable Securities”) as each such Holder may request
in writing; provided, however, that if the Partnership has been advised by the Managing Underwriter that the inclusion of Registrable Securities for sale for the benefit of the Holders will have an adverse effect on the price, timing
or distribution of the Common Units in the Underwritten Offering, then (A) if no Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the Managing Underwriter, the Partnership shall not be required to offer such
opportunity to the Holders or (B) if any Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the Managing Underwriter, then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders shall be
determined based on the provisions of Section 2.03(b). Subject to Section 2.03(b), the Partnership shall include in such Underwritten Offering all included Registrable Securities that are Fungible Securities with respect to which
the Partnership has received requests within two (2) Business Days (or one (1) Business Day in connection with a “bought deal” or an “overnight” Underwritten Offering) after the Partnership’s notice has been delivered in
accordance with Section 3.01. If no written request for inclusion from a Holder is received within the specified time, such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Underwritten Offering. If, at any time after
giving written notice of its intention to undertake an Underwritten Offering and prior to the closing of such Underwritten Offering, the Partnership shall determine for any reason not to undertake or to delay such Underwritten Offering, the
Partnership may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Selling Holders and, (x) in the case of a determination not to undertake such Underwritten Offering, shall be relieved of its obligation to sell any Included
Registrable Securities in connection with such terminated Underwritten Offering and (y) in the case of a determination to delay such Underwritten Offering, shall be permitted to delay offering any Included Registrable Securities for the same period
as the delay in the Underwritten Offering. Any Selling Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Selling Holder’s request for inclusion of such Selling Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering by giving written
notice to the Partnership of such withdrawal at or prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. 
 (b) Priority of
Registration. If the Managing Underwriter of any proposed Underwritten Offering advises the Partnership that the total amount of Registrable Securities that the Selling Holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering
exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect in any material respect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Units offered or the market for the Common Units, then the Common Units to
be included in such Underwritten Offering shall include the number of Units that such Managing Underwriter advises the Partnership can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) first, (A) to the Partnership, if
the Partnership initiates the Underwritten Offering, or (B) to the Holder(s) or Other Holder(s) initiating the Underwritten Offering if such Holders or Other Holders initiate the Underwritten Offer, on a pro rata basis based on the number of Common
Units requested by such Holders or Other Holders, as the case may be, to be included in the Underwritten Offering, (ii) second, to the Holder(s) or Other Holders(s) (other than any Holder(s) or Other Holder(s) initiating the Underwritten Offering,
if applicable), on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Common Units requested by such Holder(s) and Other Holder(s) to be included in the Underwritten Offering; provided, that in the case of an underwritten offering of Common Units
effected pursuant to the Noteholder Registration Statement, the Other Holder(s) seeking to include Common Units in such offering pursuant to Section 3(d) or Section 4(d) of the Noteholder Registration Statement shall be deemed to be Other Holder(s)
initiating such offering, (iii) third, to the Partnership, if the Partnership is seeking to include Common Units in the Underwritten Offering and (iv) fourth, to any Person other than a Holder, an Other Holder or the Partnership. 

Section 2.04. Delay Rights. If the General Partner determines that the Partnership’s compliance with its obligations under
this Article II would be materially detrimental to the Partnership and its Partners because such registration would (a) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, 

 
reorganization, financing or other similar transaction involving the Partnership, (b) require premature disclosure of material information that the Partnership has a bona fide business purpose
for preserving as confidential or (c) render the Partnership unable to comply with applicable securities laws, then the Partnership shall have the right to postpone compliance with its obligations under this Article II for a period of
not more than three months, provided, that such right pursuant to this Section 2.04 may not be utilized more than twice in any twelve-month period. 

Section 2.05. Sale Procedures. In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Partnership will, as
expeditiously as possible: 
 (a) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement and
the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep each Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of
all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement; 
 (b) if a prospectus supplement will be used in connection with the
marketing of an Underwritten Offering and the Managing Underwriter notifies the Partnership in writing that, in the sole judgment of such Managing Underwriter, inclusion of detailed information in such prospectus supplement is of material importance
to the success of the Underwritten Offering of such Registrable Securities, the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include such information in such prospectus supplement; 

(c) furnish to each Selling Holder (i) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing a Registration Statement or any supplement or
amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the
Commission), and provide each such Selling Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Selling Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and make the corrections reasonably requested by such Selling
Holder with respect to such information prior to filing a Registration Statement or supplement or amendment thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of such Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein and any supplements and amendments
thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement; 

(d) if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the Managing Underwriter, shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the Partnership will
not be required to qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is not then required to so qualify or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

 (e) promptly notify each Selling Holder and each underwriter, at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, of (i) the filing of a Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and (ii) any written comments from the Commission with respect to any filing referred to in clause (i) and any written request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to a
Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto; 

 (f) immediately notify each Selling Holder and each underwriter, at any time when a prospectus is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (i) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus supplement contained in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the prospectus contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is
made); (ii) the issuance or threat of issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (iii) the receipt by the Partnership of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the provision of such notice, the Partnership agrees to, as
promptly as practicable, amend or supplement the prospectus or prospectus supplement or take other appropriate action so that the prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and to take such other reasonable action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension,
threat thereof or proceedings related thereto; 
 (g) upon request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish to each
Selling Holder copies of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence with the Commission or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange)
relating to any offering of Registrable Securities; 
 (h) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, furnish upon request, (i) an opinion of
counsel for the Partnership dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement and (ii) a “cold comfort” letter, dated the pricing date of such Underwritten Offering (to the extent available) and a letter of like kind
dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, in each case, signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Partnership’s financial statements included or incorporated by reference into the applicable
registration statement, and each of the opinion and the “cold comfort” letter shall be in customary form and covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus and any prospectus
supplement included therein) as have been customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to the underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership and such other matters as
such underwriters and Selling Holders may reasonably request; 
 (i) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act
and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder; 
 (j) make available to the appropriate representatives of the Managing Underwriter and Selling
Holders access to such information and Partnership personnel as is reasonable and customary to enable such parties to establish a due diligence defense under the Securities Act; 

(k) cause all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized
quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Partnership are then listed; 
 (l) use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Partnership to enable the Selling Holders to consummate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities; 

 (m) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement; and 
 (n) enter into customary agreements and take
such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Selling Holders or the underwriters, if any, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities. 

Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Partnership of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection (f) of this
Section 2.05, shall forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by subsection (f) of this Section 2.05 or until it is advised in writing by the Partnership that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings incorporated by
reference in the prospectus. 
 Section 2.06. Cooperation by Holders. The Partnership shall have no obligation to include in a
Registration Statement, or in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.02(a), Registrable Securities of a Selling Holder who has failed to timely furnish such information that, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, is reasonably
required in order for the registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act. 
 Section
2.07. Expenses. The Partnership will pay all reasonable Registration Expenses, including in the case of an Underwritten Offering, regardless of whether any sale is made in such Underwritten Offering. Each Selling Holder shall pay
all Selling Expenses in connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder. The Partnership shall be responsible for legal fees incurred by Holders in connection with the exercise of such Holders’ rights hereunder. 

Section 2.08. Indemnification. 

(a) By the Partnership. In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Agreement, the Partnership will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder participating therein, its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act
and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), and its directors, officers, employees or agents, against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or
liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder, director, officer, employee, agent or controlling Person may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact (in the case of any prospectus or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made) contained in any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, a Registration Statement, any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or final prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading, and will reimburse each such Selling Holder, its directors, officers, employee and agents, and each such controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such Loss or actions or proceedings as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Partnership will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any 

 
such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Selling Holder,
its directors, officers, employees and agents or such controlling Person in writing specifically for use in any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, a Registration Statement, or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, as
applicable. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder or any such directors, officers, employees, agents or controlling Person, and shall survive the
transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder. 
 (b) By Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not
jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers,
employees and agents, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly
for inclusion in any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, a Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or final prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, or any amendment or
supplement thereof; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder shall not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of the
Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. 
 (c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.08. In any action brought against any indemnified party, the indemnified
party shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this
Section 2.08 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however,
that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and
counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified
party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of
such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, no indemnified party shall settle any action brought against it with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the indemnifying party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or
obligation on, and includes a complete and unconditional release from all liability of, the indemnifying party. 
 (d)
Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.08 is held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold them harmless in
respect of any Losses, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified 

 
party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of such indemnified party on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall the Selling Holder be required to contribute an aggregate
amount in excess of the dollar amount of proceeds (net of Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one
hand and the indemnified party on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been made by, or
relates to, information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an
indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any
Loss that is the subject of this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation. 
 (e) Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.08 shall be in addition to any other
rights to indemnification or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise. 
 Section
2.09. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Partnership agrees
to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: 
 (a) make and keep public information regarding the Partnership available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after the date hereof; 
 (b) file with the
Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Partnership under the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and 

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Partnership, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without
registration. 
 Section 2.10. Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Partnership to register
Registrable Securities granted to a Holder by the Partnership under this Article II may be transferred or assigned by such Holder to one or more transferee(s) or assignee(s) of such Registrable Securities or to any member of the Murray
Investment Group; provided, however, that (a) unless such transferee or assignee is an Affiliate of MEC, each such transferee or assignee holds Registrable Securities representing at least 500,000 of the then-outstanding Registrable
Securities, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.04, (b) the Partnership is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each such transferee and identifying the Registrable Securities
with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and (c) each such transferee agrees to be bound by this Agreement. A transfer or assignment by a Holder of Registrable Securities in accordance with this
Section 2.10 shall not impact the rights of such Holder with respect to any Registrable Securities that continue to be held or beneficially owned by such Holder following such transfer or assignment. 

 Section 2.11. Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each
Holder who, along with its Affiliates, holds at least one million of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.04), agrees to enter into a customary letter agreement with underwriters providing
such Holder will not effect any public sale or distribution of the Registrable Securities during the 90 calendar day period beginning on the date of a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the Commission with respect to the pricing of an
Underwritten Offering, provided that (i) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters on the Partnership or the officers, directors or any other
unitholder of the Partnership on whom a restriction is imposed and (ii) the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.11 shall not apply to any Registrable Securities that are included in such Underwritten Offering by such Holder.

 Section 3.10. Scope of Agreement. The rights granted pursuant to this Agreement are intended to supplement and
not to reduce or replace any rights any Holders may have under the Partnership Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities. The parties agree that this Agreement amends, restates and replaces the rights of any Holders party to the
Original Agreement, and that the rights, privileges, obligations and liabilities of such Holders under the Original Agreement are terminated and no longer in any force and effect on the date hereof. This Agreement is intended by the parties as
a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and 

 
understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. Except as provided in the Partnership Agreement, there are no restrictions, promises, warranties or
undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein with respect to the rights granted by the Partnership set forth herein. Except as provided in the Partnership Agreement, this Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and

or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding,
or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general
or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the Holders or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing,
as such, for any obligations of the Holders under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligation or its creation, except in each
