 (a) The Parties agree that for federal income Tax purposes, (i) the transactions described in the Existing Lease shall be considered as a taxable installment sale of the Existing Facility,
(b) the transactions described in this Agreement and in the New Equipment Lease shall be treated as a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Code of the facility leased pursuant to the Existing Lease for the New Facility, and
(c) the Tax treatment of Contingent Rent Payments made by Lessee to Lessor under the terms of New Equipment Lease will be governed by the principles of Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-4(c). Each Party agrees to report the transaction
consistently with such characterization. Lessee will provide Lessor with an allocation of the fixed payments under the Initial Term of the New Equipment Lease between interest and principal components within ninety (90) days after the Closing
Date. Lessee will provide Lessor with an allocation of the fixed payments due under each Renewal Term of the New Equipment Lease between interest and principal components within ninety (90) days of the start of each Renewal Term. Lessee will
provide an allocation of each contingent payment under the New Equipment Lease between interest and principal components within forty-five (45) days after such payment is made. Lessor shall provide any objections to Lessee within thirty
(30) days after the receipt thereof. If Lessor raises objections, the Parties will apply the procedures set forth in Section 4.1(b) to resolve such objections. 

  
 18 

 (b) All rent payments under the New Equipment Lease shall be allocated to the New Facility
in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. Each CCS Party shall provide Lessee with any information reasonably requested and required to complete IRS Form 8594. Lessee shall complete Form 8594 and furnish each CCS Party with a copy (the
“Draft Allocation”) within one hundred twenty (120) days from the Closing Date. Each CCS Party shall review the Draft Allocation and provide any objections to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof. In
the event no CCS Party objects to Lessee’s Draft Allocation, such Draft Allocation shall be final (the “Final Allocation”) and the Parties shall report such Final Allocation for Tax purposes and file Tax Returns (including Form
8824 under Section 1031 of the Code and Form 8594 under Section 1060 of the Code) in a manner consistent with such mutually agreed Final Allocation. If any CCS Party raises objections to the Draft Allocation, the Parties will negotiate in
good faith to resolve such objection(s). If the Parties are unable to agree on the Draft Allocation within fourteen (14) days after such CCS Party raises such objections, the Parties shall refer such dispute to an independent nationally
recognized accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”), which Independent Accountant shall make a final and binding determination as to all matters in dispute with respect to the Draft Allocation (and only such matters) within
thirty (30) days and promptly shall notify the Parties in writing of its resolution. Each Party shall bear and pay one-half of the fees and other costs charged by the Independent Accountant. 

(c) No Party shall have any liability or obligation to the other for any failure of the exchange of the Existing Facility and New
Facility hereunder to qualify as a like-kind exchange as to Lessee under Section 1031 of the Code. 
 Section 4.2
Transaction Taxes. Any real property transfer or gains Tax, sales Tax, use Tax, stamp Tax, stock transfer Tax or other similar Tax, including any penalties, interest and additions to Tax, imposed by reason of any of the transactions
(including the rescission rights) contemplated by this Agreement shall be shared equally by Lessor and Lessee. 

Section 4.3 Property Taxes. 
 (a) Any property Taxes imposed on or with respect to the New Facility for the taxable period (for purposes of this section, “taxable period” means the period beginning on the assessment
date for property Taxes through the day before the next assessment date for such Taxes) that contains the Closing Date shall be prorated based on the relative number of days prior to the Closing Date and on and after the Closing Date during the
taxable period, with Lessor being responsible for ad valorem property Taxes allocable to the taxable period ending prior to the Closing Date and Lessee being responsible for ad valorem property Taxes with respect to the New Facility allocable to the
taxable period beginning on the Closing Date. 
 (b) The amount of any refunds of property Taxes shall be equitably apportioned
between Lessor and Lessee. Each Party shall forward, and shall cause its Affiliates to forward, to the Party entitled to receive a refund of property Tax, the amount of such refund within thirty (30) days after such refund is received, net any
costs or expenses incurred by such Party in procuring such refund. 

  
 19 

 (c) Lessor shall file in a timely manner annual Missouri personal property Tax returns with
respect to the New Facility. 
 Section 4.4 Tax Return Information and Tax Proceedings. 

(a) Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate fully as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the
preparation and filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding (each a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to Taxes imposed on or with respect to the New Facility; provided that Lessee will control the conduct
of any Tax Proceeding if Lessee will bear the liability for any additional Taxes imposed on or with respect to the New Facility as a result of such Tax Proceeding and Lessor will control the conduct of any Tax Proceeding if Lessor will bear the
liability for any additional Taxes imposed on or with respect to the New Facility as a result of such Tax Proceeding. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of Books and Records and
information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and consent to
attendance by the other Party in any third-party interview, deposition or other discovery process relating to such Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 4.4, Taxes imposed on or with respect to the New Facility
do not include Taxes imposed on income or Section 45 Credits arising from the production of Refined Coal by the New Facility. 
 (b) Lessor shall retain all Tax Returns and related work papers, and all Books and Records relevant to the business of, and Taxes and Tax Returns with respect to, the New Facility until a Final
Disposition has occurred with respect to all Tax periods for which Lessee claims Section 45 Credits with respect to Refined Coal produced by the New Facility. If Lessor wishes to dispose of Books and Records at any time, Lessor shall provide
written notice to Lessee describing the Books and Records to be disposed of ninety (90) days prior to taking such action. Lessee may arrange to take delivery of the Books and Records described in such notice at its own expense during such
ninety (90)-day period.

(ii) Except with respect to the matter disclosed on Schedule 3.1(d) (the disclosure on such Schedule 3.1(d)

Indemnified Costs to be aggregated for the purposes of Section 7.1(b)(i)), the CCS Parties shall not have any liability for Lessee Indemnified 

  
 22 

 
Costs for any breach by the CCS Parties of any representation and warranty in Section 3.1 if Lessee had actual knowledge that such representation and warranty was not true and correct
in any material respect at the time of the Closing, and no Lessee Indemnified Costs related thereto shall be aggregated for the purpose of Section 7.1(b)(i); 

(iii) The CCS Parties shall not have any liability for Lessee Indemnified Costs for breach of representations and
warranties in excess of the amounts specified in Section 7.1(c);

arising out of any failure of the CCS Parties to obtain or file any Permit that was required to be obtained or filed by the CCS Parties prior to the Closing either to conduct the business of the CCS Parties in Missouri or to own or operate the New
Facility in Missouri shall not be limited to that portion of such Loss attributable to the time period prior to Closing. 
 (c) The obligations of the CCS Parties under Section 7.1(a) shall be subject to the following limitations: 

(i) The CCS Parties shall not have any liability for lost or disallowed Section 45 Credits relating to Refined Coal
actually produced at the New Facility except for and to the extent that breaches of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1(a), (b), (c), (e), (g), (j), (n) and
(o) give rise to such lost or disallowed credits; 
 (ii) Except as otherwise provided in
Section 7.1(c)(iii), the CCS Parties shall not have any liability for Lessee Indemnified Costs for breaches of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1(a), (b), (c), (e), (g), (j),

 23

 (b) Lessee’s obligations under Section 7.2(a) shall be subject to the following limitations: 

(i) Lessee shall not have any liability for CCS Indemnified Costs for any breach by Lessee of any representations or
warranties in Section 3.2 unless and until the aggregate of all CCS Indemnified Costs relating thereto for which Lessee would, but for this clause (i), be required to indemnify the CCS Indemnified Parties exceeds on a
cumulative basis an amount (the “Lessee Basket Amount”) equal to $500,000, in which case, subject to clause (ii) of this subsection (b), Lessee shall be liable for the CCS Indemnified Costs incurred by the
CCS Indemnified Parties, but only to the extent such CCS Indemnified Costs exceed the Lessee Basket Amount; 

(ii) Lessee shall not have any liability for CCS Indemnified Costs for any breach of any representation and warranty in

purpose of Section 7.2(b)(i); 
 (iii) Lessee shall not have any liability for CCS Indemnified Costs
for any breach of any representations and warranties to the extent the aggregate amount of all CCS Indemnified Costs for breaches of representations and warranties for which Lessee would otherwise be liable exceeds six million dollars ($6,000,000)
(the “Lessee Cap Amount”); provided, however, that the limitation of the Lessee Cap Amount shall not apply to any CCS Indemnified Costs resulting from (A) any gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Lessee or
(B) any Third Party Claim; and 
 (iv) The obligations to indemnify and hold the CCS Indemnified Parties
harmless pursuant to Section 7.2(a) with respect to breaches of representations and warranties shall be subject to the limitations in Section 3.3. 
 Section 7.3 Notification of Claims. In the event that any Third Party Claim is hereafter asserted against an Indemnified Party as to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to
indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party promptly and in writing after (a) receipt of notice of commencement of any third-party litigation against such Indemnified Party, (b) receipt by such
Indemnified Party of written notice of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to an invoice, notice of claim or assessment, against such Indemnified Party, or (c) such Indemnified Party becomes aware of the existence of any other event in respect of
which Indemnification may be sought from the Indemnifying Party (such a notice, being a “Claims Notice”). The Claims Notice shall describe the Claim and the specific facts and circumstances in reasonable detail, shall include a copy
of the notice referred to in (a) and (b), above, and shall indicate the amount, if known, or an estimate, if possible, of Losses that have been or may be incurred or suffered. 

  
 24 

 Section 7.4 Defense of Third-Party Claims. If an Indemnified Party’s claim
for indemnification under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 is based on a Claim brought by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to defend
such Third Party Claim in the name or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall have the right (following notice to the Indemnifying Party) to retain its own counsel and control its defense of any
such Third Party Claim, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party if (a) representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate because of actual or
potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; (b) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ counsel to defend such Proceeding or otherwise failed to prosecute such defense with reasonable
diligence; or (c) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel chosen by it that there may be one or more legal defenses or counterclaims available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available
to the Indemnifying Party in such Proceeding. If the immediately-preceding sentence is inapplicable (or if the Indemnified Party waives its right hereunder to defend such Third Party Claim), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel at its own cost and expense in the Proceeding and, in such event, shall and shall have the right to, consult with the Indemnifying Party regarding the defense thereof; provided that, except as otherwise provided herein, the
Indemnifying Party shall at all times control such defense of such Proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may not settle or compromise the claim without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless the settlement or compromise includes a full release of all of the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to or for
the benefit of the Indemnified Parties in cash the amount for which such Indemnified Parties are entitled to be indemnified within thirty (30) days after the settlement or compromise of such Third Party Claim or the final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim without its consent. 
 Section 7.5 Other Claims. Any Indemnified Party that seeks indemnification under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 for Losses that are not attributable to a Third Party Claim
shall notify the Indemnifying Party, stating the nature and basis of the Losses and, to the extent known, the actual or estimated amount thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Losses, as specified in such notice, in the manner
described in Section 7.6. 
 Section 7.6 Payment. Upon a determination that an Indemnifying Party is
liable for indemnification under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 (by admission of the Indemnifying Party, agreement of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party, or final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction not
subject to appeal), the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party, within thirty (30) days after such determination, the amount of the Loss indemnified thereby. Upon the payment in full of any such Loss, the Indemnifying Party
making such payment shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any other Person with respect to the subject matter of such Loss and of any claim or Proceeding relating thereto. 

Section 7.7 No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification under this Article VII shall be determined without
duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. 

  
 25 

 Section 7.8 Sole Remedy. Except with respect to the remedies permitted under the
other Transaction Documents, the Parties agree that the sole and exclusive remedy of any Party hereto with respect to this Agreement, or any other claims relating to the New Facility or the events giving rise to this Agreement and the transactions
provided for herein or contemplated hereby, shall be limited to (a) the right to seek injunctive relief, rescission (only in the case of fraud or otherwise as provided herein), or specific performance of or as to any obligations under this
Agreement, and (b) the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII and, in furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives and releases the other Party from, to the fullest extent permitted under any applicable
Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against the other Party except as provided in this Section 7.8; provided that no Party shall be entitled to receive a duplicate amount for any claim submitted both
under this Agreement and under any other Transaction Document. 
 Section 7.9 General Limitation of Damages. IN NO
EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES OR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON; provided, however, that this
Section 7.9 shall not limit an Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 for any such Losses (a) that the Indemnified Person is legally required to pay to
another Person as a result of a Claim or Proceeding (including Losses resulting from Third Party Claims), or (b) that constitute lost Section 45 Credits, but only to the extent provided by and subject to the limitations of this Agreement.

 Section 7.10 After-Tax Basis. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article VII shall be
treated as an adjustment to the price paid under the taxable installment sale, unless an independent tax counsel selected jointly by the Parties advises that such treatment is more likely than not incorrect. In such a case, all indemnification
payments made pursuant to this Article VII will be calculated and paid on an After-Tax Basis. 
 Section 7.11
No Double Recovery. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Agreement to Lease, the Existing Lease, the Operation and Maintenance Agreement, the Chemical Additive Supply Agency Agreement, the Technology Sublicense, the
Existing Guaranties or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, no Lessee Indemnified Party or CCS Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under this Agreement for any amounts (including Losses) if such Lessee
Indemnified Party or CCS Indemnified Party, as applicable, has made a claim for indemnification or reimbursement under the Agreement to Lease, the Existing Equipment Lease, the Operation and Maintenance Agreement, the Chemical Additive Supply Agency
Agreement, the Technology Sublicense, the Existing Guaranties or any other Transaction Document (other than this Agreement) with respect to the same subject matter or breach giving rise to such claim, whether such claim resulted from an obligation
to indemnify or an obligation to pay damages (including any liquidated damages). For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts received by a Lessee Indemnified Party or CCS Indemnified Party, as applicable, from a party under the Agreement to Lease, the
Existing Lease, 

  
 26 

 
the Operation and Maintenance Agreement, the Chemical Additive Supply Agency Agreement, the Technology Sublicense, the Existing Guaranties or any other Transaction Document (other than this
Agreement) that a Party is obligated to pay under this Agreement, shall be deducted from amounts owed to such Lessee Indemnified Party or CCS Indemnified Party, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement to the extent such amount relates to a claim
that arose from the same subject matter or breach giving rise to such claim. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

TERMINATION; EFFECT OF TERMINATION 
 Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing only as follows: 
 (a) by mutual written consent of the Parties; or 
 (b) by either Party by
delivering written notice to the other Party: 
 (i) if (A) any Law shall make the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited; or (B) a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (which order, decree or ruling the
Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to lift or vacate), in each case permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and such order, decree,
ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; 
 (ii) if a Section 45 Change occurs;
or 
 (iii) if all conditions precedent to the Closing under Article V shall not have been satisfied
(or waived by the applicable Party) by 5:00 p.m., local Houston, Texas time, on December 31, 2011; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (iii) shall not be available to any Party that
(A) proximately contributed to the occurrence of the failure to satisfy such conditions precedent by such date and time, or (B) failed to use all reasonable efforts to satisfy such conditions precedent; provided further, however,
that Lessee’s refusal to deliver the Acceptance in accordance with Section 2.1(c) shall not affect Lessee’s right to terminate this Agreement. 
 The right of any Party to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Party hereto, any Person controlling any such Party or any of their Representatives whether prior to or after the execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1 to the contrary, no Party that is in material
breach of this Agreement shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement except with the written consent of the other Party. 

  
 27 

 Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8.1: 
 (a) This Agreement shall become null and void and of no further effect and there shall be
no liability or obligation hereunder on the part of the CCS Parties or Lessee, except (i) any Party nevertheless shall be entitled to seek any remedy to which it may be entitled at Law or in equity for the violation or breach by any other Party
of any agreement or covenant (but not any representation or warranty) contained in this Agreement that occurs prior to the termination; (ii) the provisions of this Section 8.2, Article VII and Article IX (and
all associated defined terms) shall survive any such termination; and (iii) each Party shall within five (5) days after such termination redeliver all documents, work papers and other materials of the other Parties relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, to the Party furnishing the same; 

(b) If the New Facility has been installed at the Site prior to termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, the
CCS Parties shall cause the New Facility to be removed from the Site and shall cause the Existing Facility to be re-installed at the Site in the same configuration as it existed immediately prior to its removal from the Site; 

(c) Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms, the Existing Equipment Lease shall continue in its full force and effect; and

 (d) The CCS Parties shall be entitled to use, operate, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of the New Facility, at
such other location as the CCS Parties may determine, all in their sole and absolute discretion. 
 ARTICLE IX

 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 Section 9.1 Confidentiality. 
 (a) Each Party shall maintain the terms
of this Agreement in confidence and shall not disclose any information concerning the terms, performance or administration of this Agreement to any other Person; provided that a Party may disclose such information: (i) to any of such
Party’s Group, (ii) to any prospective member of such Party’s Group, (iii) to any actual or prospective purchaser of all or a portion of such Party’s interest in the New Facility and (iv) to any Person providing or
evaluating a proposal to provide financing to the recipient Party or any direct or indirect owner of such Party; provided in each case that the recipient Party shall provide to each Person to which disclosure is made a copy of this
Section 9.1 and direct such Person to treat such information confidentially, and the recipient Party shall be liable for any breach of the terms of this Section 9.1 by such Persons to which it makes any such disclosure. The
foregoing restrictions will not apply (A) to information that is or becomes generally available to the public otherwise than as a result of disclosure by the recipient Party, (B) to information that is already in, or subsequently comes
into, the recipient Party’s possession, provided that the source of such information was not, to the recipient Party’s knowledge, obligated to keep such information confidential, (C) to information that is required to be
disclosed pursuant to Law or stock exchange rules and regulations or is otherwise subject to legal, judicial, regulatory or self-regulatory requests for information or documents or (D) subject to Section 9.1(b) below, to the Tax
structure or Tax treatment of the transactions under this Agreement. 

  
 28 

 (b) Each Party may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax
treatment and Tax structure of the transactions under this Agreement; provided, however, that any such information is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable securities laws. The Tax structure
and Tax treatment of the transaction includes only those facts that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal and state income Tax treatment or Tax structure of the transactions under this Agreement and, to eliminate any
doubt, therefore specifically does not include information that either reveals or standing alone or in the aggregate with other information so disclosed tends of itself to reveal or allow the recipient of the information to ascertain the identity of
any parties involved in any of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. 
 (c) If any
Party is required to disclose any information required by this Section 9.1 to be maintained as confidential in a judicial, administrative or governmental proceeding, such Party shall give the other Party at least ten (10) days’
prior written notice (unless less time is permitted by the applicable proceeding) before disclosing any such information in any said proceeding and, in making such disclosure, the Party required to disclose the information shall disclose only that
portion thereof required to be disclosed and shall cooperate with the other Party in the other Party’s attempts to seek to preserve the confidentiality thereof, including if such Party seeks to obtain protective orders and/or any intervention.

 Section 9.2 Further Actions. After the Closing Date, each of the Parties shall execute and deliver such other
certificates, agreements, conveyances and other documents, and take such other action, as may be reasonably requested by the other Party in order to (a) transfer and assign to, and vest in, Lessee a valid leasehold interest in the New Facility
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (b) otherwise carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. 
 Section 9.3 Amendment, Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties. Any failure of a Party to comply
with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition of such Party contained herein may be waived only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance
with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other failure. 
 Section 9.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of applicable Law, or public policy, all other
conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein are not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon
such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a
mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 

  
 29 

 Section 9.5 Expenses and Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne solely and entirely by the Party which has incurred such expenses.

 Section 9.6 Binding Effect; Third Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and, except as provided below,
inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person (other than the Lessee Indemnified Parties and CCS Indemnified Parties
as provided in Article VII) any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement).

determines, in good faith, is adverse to such Party in any material respect; provided that Lessor shall not withhold its agreement to any such amendment if Lessee has agreed to fully compensate Lessor for any adverse economic effect on Lessor
resulting from such amendment and such amendment would not cause any material adverse effect on Lessor for which it cannot adequately be compensated by Lessee; and provided further, that if Lessee requests a PLR from the IRS with respect to
the New Facility before the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date and Lessee thereafter receives a PLR from the IRS with respect to the Existing Facility but is unable to obtain a PLR from the IRS with respect to the New
Facility, the New Facility will be exchanged for the Existing Facility, the provisions of Section 8.2 shall apply, the Existing Equipment Lease shall be reinstated and the Parties shall execute and deliver all other agreements and
documents necessary or desirable to effectuate re-installation, operation and use of the Existing Facility in accordance with the terms of the Existing Equipment Lease. 
 Section 9.13 Publicity. Lessor agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Lessee, (a) use in advertising, publicity or otherwise the name of GS, or any Affiliate
thereof (including Lessee), or any partner or employee of GS, or any Affiliate thereof (including Lessee), or any trade name, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol or any abbreviation,

contraction or simulation thereof owned by GS, or any Affiliate thereof (including Lessee), or (b) represent, directly or indirectly, that any product or any service provided by Lessor has
been approved or endorsed by GS, or any Affiliate thereof (including Lessee). No public announcement of any kind regarding the existence or terms of this Agreement shall be made without the prior written consent of the Parties. For the avoidance of
doubt, nothing in this Section 9.13 shall limit Lessor’s obligation to disclose information pursuant to Section 9.1. 
 Section 9.14 Assignment. No Party shall assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any purported
Assignment made without such prior written consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing: 
 (a) Any Party may, without
the need for consent from the other Parties, make an assignment of this Agreement to an Affiliate of such Party; provided that such Affiliate assumes all of the obligations of the Party making the Assignment and the Lessor Parent Guaranties
or the Lessee Parent Guaranty remain in effect, as applicable, with respect to the obligations of such Affiliate, and in such event the assigning Party shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement, except for those obligations that
arose prior to such assignment; 
 (b) Lessee may, without the need for consent from either of the CCS Parties, make an
Assignment of this Agreement to any Person (i) succeeding to all or substantially all of its assets, provided such Person has, or its obligations under this Agreement are guaranteed by a Person who has, an Investment Grade rating, or
(ii) after December 31, 2019 if the Section 45 Credit for Refined Coal produced by the New Facility has been extended beyond such date; and 
 (c) Lessor may, with the prior written consent of Lessee, make an assignment of this Agreement to any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of its assets; provided that (i) the
acquiring Person assumes all obligations of Lessor hereunder, and (ii) either (A) the Lessor Parent Guaranties remain in full force and effect with respect to the Person succeeding to all or substantially all of Lessor’s assets, or
(B) the Lessor Parent Guaranties are replaced by a new guaranty or guaranties on the same terms as the Lessor Parent Guaranties covering such assumed obligations from a Person having an Investment Grade rating, and in such event Lessor shall be
released from its obligations under this Agreement, except for those obligations that arose prior to such assignment.

 Verification of Emissions Testing Results 

This letter provides verification of the testing witnessed by [VERIFIER] (“Verifier”) for Clean Coal Solutions, LLC
(“CCS”) as an independent professional engineering service regarding the refined coal production facility installed at [SITE] located at [ADDRESS] owned by Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. (the “Utility”). The
tests were conducted during the period from [DATE] to [DATE] (“Testing Period”). This verification is in accordance with IRS Notice 2010-54. 
 At the time of the testing the Facility was operated on a contract basis by Clean Coal Solutions Services, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“CCSS”) on behalf of CCS and [AEC-TH,
LLC or AEC-NM, LLC]. 
 During the Testing Period, the Owner, by itself and through its contractors, operated the Facility on a daily,
continuous basis for purposes of producing “refined coal” meeting the requirements of Section 45(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and meeting the requirements and specifications set forth
in this certificate, in part, through the application of CyCleanTM, which consists of a solid additive (“CyCleanTM A”) and a liquid additive (“CyCleanTM B”), to coal feedstock consisting of Powder River
Basin sub-bituminous coal (the “Feedstock Coal”). 
 During the operating period, the Owner and its contractors were in charge
of emissions testing performed in accordance with an established operating process. Verifier observed the testing as an independent professional engineer to witness the results. The Owner and its contractors were responsible for establishing plant
operating conditions with Feedstock Coal and Refined Coal (defined below) and verifying nitrogen oxide (“NOx”) and mercury emission reductions achieved during the Testing Period as a result of burning the Refined Coal. 

Verifier was physically present at the site from [DATE] to [DATE] and ensured that the reported data is representative of the data observed during the
tests. During this time, CCSS staff worked with the Utility to establish baseline NOx and mercury emissions on [DATE] and to establish similar conditions to measure NOx and mercury emissions while burning CyCleanTM refined coal during the Test
Period on [DATE]. Boiler performance and operability were monitored carefully during the emissions test to assure that the emission reductions did not cause other system problems. 
 Based upon the foregoing, Verifier hereby certifies the following during the Testing Period: 
  

	1.	The Facility produced a solid fuel from the Feedstock Coal (the “Refined Coal”). 

 
  

  
 Exhibit C to
Exhibit F 

	2.	The Refined Coal demonstrated a reduction of greater than 20 percent of the emissions of NOx and greater than 40 percent reduction of the emissions of mercury
(collectively, the “Emission Reductions”) released when burning the Refined Coal (excluding any dilution caused by materials combined or added during the production process), as compared to the emissions released when burning the
Feedstock Coal. Actual emission reductions for NOx were measured at approximately [__] percent below the baseline. Actual emissions of mercury were measured at [__] percent below the baseline measurements. 

 

	3.	The Emission Reductions were determined by comparing the emissions that resulted when the Feedstock Coal and the Refined Coal were used to produce the same amounts of
useful thermal energy. The CyCleanTM A and CyCleanTM B additives do not contain organic material, and therefore, the CyClean additives do not increase the thermal energy of the Feedstock Coal. 

 

	4.	The Emission Reductions were determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02 of Notice 2010-54 during field testing using a continuous emission
monitoring system (“CEMS”), meeting the requirements of Section 6.03(1)(a)(i) through (iv) and (b) of Notice 2010-54, specifically to the following requirements: 

 

	 	(a)	the boiler used to conduct the emissions testing was coal-fired and steam-producing and is of a size ([__] MW) and type commonly used in commercial electric power
generation operations; 

  

	 	(b)	emissions were measured using mercury and NOx CEMS; 

  

	 	(c)	the CEMS conformed to applicable United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) standards; 

 

	 	(d)	Other than operating conditions that are directly attributable to changing from feedstock coal to refined coal such as adjustments to primary and secondary air, that
are consistent with good pollution control practices, emissions from the boiler using both the Feedstock Coal and the Refined Coal were measured at the same operating conditions and over a period of at least 3 hours during which the boiler was
operating at a steady state and at least 90 percent of full load; 

  

	 	(e)	emissions of mercury were measured upstream of any SO2 scrubber or mercury control device, or, if mercury emissions were measured downstream of any SO2 scrubber, then
the SO2 scrubber was operated under the same operating conditions throughout the Testing Period, and downstream of the electrostatic precipitator, which was operated under the same operating conditions throughout the Testing Period (see operating
data attached as Exhibit A to this verification statement showing continuous secondary voltage and current and number of fields in operation); and 

  

	 	(f)	emissions of NOx were measured upstream of post-combustion NOx controls. 

  

	5.	I have no direct or indirect ownership interest in CCS or CCSS. 

  
 Exhibit C to
Exhibit F 

	6.	[NAME] witnessed the emissions testing on site. I have reviewed the emissions test data and verified with [NAME] the results as reported. 

 

	7.	I am a licensed professional engineer, registered in the State of [STATE]. 

 

	8.	I have extensive experience in combustion and environmental engineering and I have the qualifications required by Section 6.03(1) of Notice 2010-54 to perform this
verification. 

 I understand and agree that this Verification of Emission Testing Results for the Facility located at [POWER
PLANT] may be relied upon by CCS, the Owner and their respective members, managers, successors, and assigns. 
 Under penalties of perjury, I
declare that I have examined this verification statement and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete.

LEASE 

2.1 Lease of Facility. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Exchange Agreement, from the Effective Date, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor the Facility for the uses set
forth in Section 2.11 below. 

  
 5 

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

2.2 Rent. 

(a) During the Initial Term, Lessee will pay to Lessor on the last Business Day of each Quarter the fixed payment set forth on
Schedule 1 for such Quarter (the “Initial Term Fixed Rent Payments”). The Initial Term Fixed Rent Payments shall be payable through the end of the Initial Term notwithstanding any termination of this Lease (and the obligation
to make all such Initial Term Fixed Rent Payments will be treated as having been incurred at the inception of the Initial Term), except for a termination pursuant to Section 3.1(e). In the event that this Lease is terminated pursuant to
Section 3.1(e) prior to the end of the Initial Term, no further Initial Term Fixed Rent Payments shall be due, though the Lessee will pay to the Lessor a pro-rated amount of the Initial Term Fixed Rent Payment due with respect to the Quarter in
which this Lease is terminated. 
 (b) During each Renewal Term, Lessee will pay to Lessor on the last Business Day of each
Quarter the fixed payment set forth on Schedule 1 for such Quarter (the “Renewal Term Fixed Rent Payments”). The Renewal Term Fixed Rent Payments shall be payable through the end of the applicable Renewal Term notwithstanding
any termination of this Lease (and the obligation to make all such Renewal Term Fixed Rent Payments will be treated as having been incurred at the inception of the Renewal Term), except for a termination pursuant to Section 3.1(e). In the event
that this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 3.1(e) prior to the end of the applicable Renewal Term, no further Renewal Term Fixed Rent Payments shall be due, though the Lessee will pay to the Lessor a pro-rated amount of the Renewal Term
Fixed Rent Payment due with respect to the Quarter in which this Lease is terminated. 
 During the Term and subject to receipt of satisfactory
redeterminations of qualified emissions reductions in accordance with the Refined Coal Guidance in effect at the time of such redetermination (it being understood that redeterminations are currently required to be performed on a semi-annual basis
and thus may not be required for each Quarter), Lessee will pay to Lessor quarterly on the Contingent Rent Payment Date for each Quarter the Contingent Rent Payment for such Quarter and provide Lessor the calculation of such Contingent Rent Payment.
The “Contingent Rent Payment” with respect to each Quarter shall equal *. If a Contingent Rent Payment for any Quarter is reduced on account of the limitation in Section 2.2(d), the reduced amount will be carried forward to
succeeding Quarters in the same Term, beginning with the next Quarter, and added to the Contingent Rent Payment (subject to the limitation in Section 2.2(d)) until the reduction has been offset by additional Contingent Rent Payments.

  
 6 

 (c) The Contingent Rent Payments shall be determined after taking into account any phase-out
of such credits under Section 45(b)(1) of the Code and any applicable inflation adjustment under Section 45(b)(2) of the Code as provided herein, but shall be determined without regard to limitations on Lessee’s use of the
Section 45 Credits imposed by Section 38(c) of the Code and without regard to whether Lessee actually utilizes such Section 45 Credits. In the event that any Contingent Rent Payment is due prior to the date that the IRS publishes the
U.S. dollar amount of the Applicable Section 45 Credits with respect to such calendar year, the U.S. dollar amount of the Applicable Section 45 Credits for the prior year shall be used until the IRS publishes the U.S. dollar amount of the
Applicable Section 45 Credits for the current year. Once the IRS publishes this figure, the Lessee will adjust the next due Contingent Rent Payment to reflect any change that should be made to prior Contingent Rent Payments made during the
current calendar year to take the new published figure into account. Within 90 Days after the end of each calendar year during the Term, Lessee shall recalculate all Contingent Rent Payments that have been made with respect to such calendar
year based upon (i) the Section 45 Credit applicable to such calendar year, (ii) the actual amount of Refined Coal sales from the Facility in each Quarter of such calendar year and (iii) the actual Total Operating Expenses for
each Quarter paid by Lessee in such calendar year. Upon completion of such recalculation, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of such recalculation and provide Lessor a statement of such recalculation. Within 30 Days following such notice,
Lessor or Lessee, as appropriate, shall make an adjustment payment to the other Party to reflect such recalculation, though such other Party may raise a good faith dispute to the adjustment payment. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the aggregate Contingent Rent Payments during the Initial Term plus the
contingent payments made pursuant to the Existing Lease shall not exceed the present value, as of the effective date of the Existing Lease, calculated using *discount rate, of (A) the aggregate projected Initial Term Fixed Rent Payments for the
Initial Term, plus (B) the aggregate fixed rental payments (including all prepayment of rent) paid by Lessee pursuant to the Existing Lease and (ii) the aggregate Contingent Rent Payments during any Renewal Term shall not exceed the
present value, as of the Effective Date, calculated using * discount rate, of the aggregate projected Renewal Term Fixed Rent Payments for such Renewal Term. To the extent Lessee pays Lessor any Contingent Rent Payments in excess of the amounts set
forth in this subsection in the Initial Term or any Renewal Term on a cumulative basis since the Effective Date, Lessor shall reimburse Lessee within five Days after notice by Lessee of such excess payment. 

(e) Lessee shall make the Fixed Rent Payments and the Contingent Rent Payments in immediately available funds to an account in the United
States of America designated from time to time to Lessee in writing by Lessor. The initial nominated account of Lessor is: 

Colorado Business Bank 
 ABA #: 102003206 
 Account Name: AEC-NM, LLC 

Account #: 3286363 
 (f) Any Rent required to be paid under this Section 2.2 that is not so paid (unless subject to a good faith dispute) will bear interest from the date on which Rent was

  
 7 

 
required to be paid to the date such Rent is actually received by Lessor at an effective annual rate equal to the Interest Rate. In the event of a dispute with respect to any Rent pursuant to
this Section 2.2, the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations as required hereunder. Upon resolution of such dispute, the Rent, if any, determined to be owing by Lessee to Lessor (by agreement of the Parties or final determination
of a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be paid within five Business Days following such resolution, together with interest (using the interest rate described above) from the date Lessee was required to pay the disputed amount. 

(g) Attached hereto as Exhibit C is an illustration of how any payments to be made under this Section 2 would be made under certain
circumstances. 
 2.3 Tax Ownership. The Parties agree that for federal income tax purposes, (a) the transactions
described in the Existing Lease shall be considered as a taxable installment sale of the Facility, (b) the transactions described in the Exchange Agreement and in this Lease shall be treated as a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of
the Code of the facility leased pursuant to the Existing Lease for the New Facility, and (c) the tax treatment of Contingent Rent Payments made by Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this Lease will be governed by the principles of Treasury
Regulation section 1.1275-4(c). The Parties to agree to report the transactions consistently with such characterization. Lessee will provide Lessor with (i) an allocation of the Initial Term Fixed Rent Payments under this Lease between
interest and principal components and Lessee shall complete Form 8594 and furnish Lessor with a copy within 120 Days after the Effective Date, (ii) an allocation of the Renewal Term Fixed Rent Payments under any Renewal Term within 90 Days
after the commencement of such Renewal Term, and (iii) an allocation of each Contingent Rent Payment between interest and principal components within 45 Days after such payment is made (each such allocation, a “Draft
Allocation”). Lessor shall review the Draft Allocation and provide any objections to Lessee within 30 Days after the receipt thereof. In the event Lessor does not object to Lessee’s Draft Allocation, such Draft Allocation shall be
final (the “Final Allocation”) and the Parties shall report such Final Allocation for tax purposes and file tax returns in a manner consistent with such mutually agreed Final Allocation. If Lessor raises objections to the Draft
Allocation, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection(s). If the Parties are unable to agree on the Draft Allocation within 14 Days after Lessor raises such objections, the Parties shall refer such dispute to an
independent nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”), which Independent Accountant shall make a final and binding determination as to all matters in dispute with respect to the Draft Allocation (and only
such matters) within 30 Days and promptly shall notify the Parties in writing of its resolution. Each Party shall bear and pay one-half of the fees and other costs charged by the Independent Accountant. 

2.4 Title to Facility. Title to the Facility leased herein shall be and at all times during the Term remain in Lessor. During the

of the Facility at its own expense in which event Lessor shall assign to Lessee all property damage insurance proceeds received by Lessor or to which Lessor is entitled arising out of such Casualty, or (b) terminate the Lease. 

2.8 Taxes. Lessee shall at all times during the Term pay all property taxes that are imposed upon the Facility or Lessee’s

6.8 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission) in one or
more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties

 6.9 Entire Agreement. This Lease (which term shall be deemed to include the Exhibits
and Schedules hereto) constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements, letters of intent and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no
representations or warranties, agreements, or covenants other than those expressly set forth in this Lease. 
 6.10 Governing
Law; Choice of Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS LEASE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF
THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS LEASE AND CONSENT TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO A DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS LEASE AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT THERETO. 
 6.11 Publicity. Lessor agrees that it will
not, without the prior written consent of Lessee, in each instance, (a) use in advertising, publicity, or otherwise the name of GS, or any Affiliate thereof (including Lessee), or any partner or employee of GS, or any Affiliate thereof
(including Lessee), nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof owned by GS, or any Affiliate thereof (including Lessee), or (b) represent, directly or indirectly,
that any product or any service provided by Lessor has been approved or endorsed by GS, or any Affiliate thereof (including Lessee). No public announcement of any kind regarding the existence or terms of this Lease shall be made without the prior
written consent of the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.11 shall limit Lessor’s obligation to disclose information pursuant to Section 6.1. 

6.12 Assignment. Neither Party shall assign, sublease or otherwise transfer (collectively, an “Assignment”) this
Lease or any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any purported Assignment made without such prior written consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing: 

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

  
 16 

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

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

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

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