obligations hereunder, Azure may engage any of its Affiliates or other Persons to perform the Services (or any part of the Services) on its behalf and that the performance of the Services (or any part of the Services) by any such Affiliate or Person
shall be treated as if Azure performed such Services. No such delegation by Azure to Affiliates or other Persons shall relieve Azure of its obligations hereunder. 

Section 2.4 Payment Amount. The Partnership Entities shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Azure the amount of any direct or
indirect expenses incurred by Azure or its Affiliates in connection with the provision of Services by Azure or its Affiliates (the “Payment Amount”), including but not limited to, the following: 

(a) Dedicated Personnel. The Payment Amount will include all Personnel Costs of Dedicated Personnel as determined by Azure in good faith
subject to redetermination no more than twice annually. 
 (b) Shared Personnel and Administrative Personnel. The Payment Amount will
include a pro rata share of all Personnel Costs of Shared Personnel and Administrative Personnel, as determined by Azure in good faith. 

(c) Administrative Costs. The Payment Amount will include following: 

(i) Office Costs. A pro rata share of all office costs (including, all costs relating to office leases, equipment
leases, supplies, property taxes and utilities) for all locations of Administrative Personnel, as determined by Azure in good faith, based on the allocation methodology determined by Azure subject to redetermination no more than twice annually, as
reasonably acceptable to the Partnership Entities and in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles; 

  
 5 

 (ii) Insurance. Insurance premiums will be direct charged to the
applicable insured to the extent possible, and otherwise will be allocated as determined by Azure in good faith, based on the allocation methodology determined by Azure subject to redetermination no more than twice annually, as reasonably acceptable
to the Partnership Entities and in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles; 
 (iii)
Outside Services. Services provided by outside vendors (including outside audit services, outside legal services and other services) will first be direct charged where applicable; provided, however that the Payment Amount will include
a pro rata share of charges for all services that are provided by outside vendors and not direct charged, as determined by Azure in good faith, based on the allocation methodology determined by Azure subject to redetermination no more than twice
annually, as reasonably acceptable to the Partnership Entities and in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles;

5th day following receipt of such invoice. If the due date for payment is not a Business Day, then the due date for payment shall be the next following Business Day. MLP GP shall pay, or cause the
Partnership Group to pay, to Azure in immediately available funds, the full Payment Amount due under Section 2.4. Past due amounts shall bear interest at the Default Rate. If MLP GP fails to make payment of any amount of any monthly
invoice, other than any amount thereof that is disputed in accordance with Section 2.6 below, on or before the later of (i) the 60th day after such payment is due and payable and (ii) the 30th day after notice by Azure of such
non-payment, Azure shall have the right to suspend the provision of the Services hereunder until such payment is made. 

  
 6 

 Section 2.6 Disputed Charges. MLP GP MAY, WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF A
CHARGE FROM AZURE, TAKE WRITTEN EXCEPTION TO SUCH CHARGE, ON THE GROUND THAT THE SAME WAS NOT A REASONABLE COST INCURRED BY AZURE OR ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES. MLP GP SHALL NEVERTHELESS PAY, OR CAUSE THE PARTNERSHIP GROUP TO
PAY, WHEN DUE THE FULL PAYMENT AMOUNT OWED TO AZURE. SUCH PAYMENT SHALL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT OF A PARTNERSHIP ENTITY TO RECOUP ANY CONTESTED PORTION OF ANY AMOUNT SO PAID. HOWEVER, IF THE AMOUNT AS TO WHICH SUCH WRITTEN EXCEPTION IS
TAKEN, OR ANY PART THEREOF, IS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED NOT TO BE A REASONABLE COST INCURRED BY AZURE OR ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR PROVISION OF THE SERVICES HEREUNDER, SUCH AMOUNT OR PORTION THEREOF (AS THE CASE MAY BE) SHALL BE REFUNDED
BY AZURE TO THE PARTNERSHIP ENTITIES TOGETHER WITH INTEREST THEREON AT THE DEFAULT RATE FOR THE PERIOD FROM THE DATE OF PAYMENT BY THE PARTNERSHIP ENTITIES TO THE DATE OF REFUND BY AZURE. 

Section 2.7 Employees. The Partnership Entities shall not be obligated to pay directly to Dedicated Personnel or Shared
Personnel any compensation, salaries, wages, bonuses, benefits, social security taxes, workers’ compensation insurance, retirement and insurance benefits, training or other expenses. 

Section 2.8 Limitation of Duties and Liability. The relationship of Azure to the Partnership Entities pursuant to this
Article II is as an independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to impose on Azure, or on any of its Affiliates, or on any of their respective successors and permitted assigns, or on their respective
employees, officers, members, managers, directors, agents and representatives, any express or implied fiduciary duty. Azure and its Affiliates and their respective successors and permitted assigns, together with their respective employees, officers,
members, managers, directors, agents and representatives, shall not be liable for, and the Partnership Entities shall not take, or permit to be taken, any action against any of such Persons to hold such Persons liable for (a) any error of
judgment or mistake of law by such Persons or for any loss suffered by such Persons in connection with the performance of any Services under this Agreement, except for a liability or loss resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad
faith or reckless disregard in the performance by such Persons of the Services, or (b) any fraudulent or dishonest acts by the Partnership Entities. In no event, whether based on contract, indemnity, warranty, tort (including negligence),
strict liability or otherwise, shall Azure or its Affiliates or the Partnership Entities, their respective successors and permitted assigns, or their respective employees, officers, members, managers, directors, agents and representatives, be liable
for loss of profits or revenue or special, incidental, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 ARTICLE III 

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER 

Section 3.1 Right of First Offer to Purchase Certain Interests. 

(a) Azure hereby grants to the MLP a right of first offer on any proposed Transfer of any assets owned by Azure (including the equity of its
Subsidiaries) or its Subsidiaries as of the Execution Date, whether such Transfer is made in the form of asset Transfer or the Transfer of a Subsidiary (the “ROFO Assets”). The Parties acknowledge that the MLP is not
obligated to purchase any of the ROFO Assets from Azure. 
 (b) The Parties acknowledge that all potential Transfers of the ROFO Assets
pursuant to this Article III are subject to obtaining any and all required written consents and waivers of Governmental Authorities and other non-affiliated third parties (including lenders and other providers of financing) and to the
terms of all agreements (including debt and other financing arrangements) in respect of such ROFO Assets. 
 Section 3.2
Procedures. If at any time Azure desires to Transfer any ROFO Assets, (the “Azure Offered Assets,” and any such transaction a “Azure Asset Transaction”) to a Person other than an Affiliate
of Azure (so long as such Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.2 and any future sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of such Azure Offered Assets) the
following provisions shall apply: 
 (a) Prior to Azure soliciting or making an offer for an Azure Asset Transaction (a “Azure
Asset Offer”), Azure shall promptly notify the Partnership Group in writing of Azure’s intent to make or accept such Azure Asset Offer (a “Azure Asset Offer Notice”). 

(b) MLP will have the sole and exclusive right, for a period of 45 days after the date that such Azure Asset Offer Notice is received by MLP to
make an offer to acquire the Azure Offered Assets (an “MLP Offer”). During such 45-day period, Azure shall allow the Partnership Entities and their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants and other agents
(“Representatives”) reasonable access at times mutually agreeable to Azure and MLP to all properties, contracts, financial information and other books and records related to the Azure Offered Assets, and Azure shall cause its
Affiliates and their respective Representatives to cooperate with the Partnership Entities and their respective Representatives with respect to MLP’s due diligence review in connection with such potential Azure Asset Transaction. The Conflicts
Committee, acting for and on behalf of MLP, may exercise MLP’s right to make an MLP Offer to acquire the applicable Azure Offered Assets by notifying Azure in writing of an MLP Offer, which written notice shall include all material terms and
conditions upon which MLP is willing to consummate such Azure Asset Transaction, including the aggregate purchase price. Unless otherwise agreed by Azure and the Conflicts Committee, the failure of the Conflicts Committee to notify Azure in writing
of an MLP Offer within 45 days after the date that such applicable Azure Asset Offer Notice is received by MLP will be deemed to be an election by MLP not to exercise its right to make such MLP Offer. 

  
 8 

 (c) Azure shall have a period of 30 days after the date that an MLP Offer is received by Azure to
accept or reject such MLP Offer. Unless otherwise agreed by Azure and the Conflicts Committee, the failure of Azure to accept or reject an MLP Offer within 30 days after the date that written notice of an MLP Offer is received by Azure shall be
deemed to be a rejection by Azure of such MLP Offer. An acceptance of an MLP Offer (“Azure Acceptance”) shall be set forth in writing, delivered to MLP prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above and shall be
conditioned upon entering into an agreement providing for the consummation of such potential Azure Asset Transaction. 
 (d) If Azure accepts
an MLP Offer, then Azure and MLP shall, subject to the terms and conditions of such MLP Offer, use reasonable best efforts to enter into an agreement providing for the consummation of such potential Azure Asset Transaction upon the terms and
conditions of such MLP Offer. Unless otherwise agreed between Azure and the Conflicts Committee: 
 (i) The terms of the
purchase and sale agreement will contain standard representations, warranties and covenants in respect of the sale of assets in the midstream industry; 

(ii) MLP will have the right, exercisable at MLP’s risk and expense, to make such surveys, tests and inspections of the
Azure Offered Assets as MLP may deem desirable, so long as such surveys, tests or inspections do not damage such assets or materially interfere with the activities of Azure, and the results of any searches, surveys, tests or inspections may give
rise to rights mutually agreed to between the Parties (e.g. termination rights or purchase price adjustments); and 
 (iii)
The closing date for the purchase of the Azure Offered Assets will occur no later than 90 days following the entry into an agreement providing for the consummation of an Azure Asset Transaction; 

(e) Azure and MLP shall cooperate in good faith in obtaining all necessary governmental and other third Person approvals, waivers and consents
required for the closing with respect to the Azure Offered Assets. Any such closing shall be delayed, to the extent required, until the third Business Day following receipt of required governmental approvals or expiration of waiting periods (such as
under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended); provided, however, that such delay shall not exceed 120 days and, if governmental approvals and waiting periods shall not have been obtained or expired, as
the case may be, by such 120th day, then MLP will be deemed to have waived its right of first offer with respect to the Azure Offered Assets described in the Azure Asset Offer Notice and thereafter neither MLP nor Azure will have any further
obligation under this Article III with respect to such Azure Offered Assets unless such Azure Offered Assets again become subject to this Article III pursuant to Section 3.2(g). If requested by the Partnership
Group, Azure shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and provide to MLP any financial statements in respect of any ROFO Assets Transferred to the Partnership Group to the extent required under Regulation
S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

  
 9 

 (f) If (A) the Conflicts Committee does not elect to exercise MLP’s right to make an
MLP Offer pursuant to Section 3.2(b); (B) Azure rejects an MLP Offer or fails to provide an Azure Acceptance pursuant to Section 3.2(c); or (C) unless otherwise agreed by Azure and the Conflicts Committee, following
the acceptance by Azure of an MLP Offer pursuant to Section 3.2(c), Azure and the Conflicts Committee are unable to enter into an agreement with respect to an Azure Asset Transaction upon the terms and conditions of such MLP Offer within
60 days after the date an Azure Acceptance is received by MLP, then, and only then, Azure may consummate an Azure Asset Transaction for the Azure Offered Assets with a Third Party Purchaser (any such transaction, a “Third Party Azure
Asset Transaction”); provided, that: 
 (i) Promptly upon acceptance by Azure of such an offer
from a Third Party Purchaser, Azure shall provide a written notice to the Partnership Group stating the name of such Third Party Purchaser and the aggregate purchase price to be paid upon consummation of such Third Party Azure Asset Transaction and
shall provide to MLP a summary of the material terms and conditions of the offer made by such Third Party Purchaser; and 

(ii) The Third Party Azure Asset Transaction (x) must be consummated within 120 days after the latest to occur of clauses
(A), (B) or (C) of Section 3.2(f); (y) such Third Party Azure Asset Transaction must be consummated at a price greater than 105% of the aggregate purchase price proposed to be paid by MLP pursuant to the applicable MLP
Offer; and (z) such Third Party Azure Asset Transaction must be consummated upon terms no less favorable to a Third Party Purchaser than set forth in the MLP Offer. 

(g) If a Third Party Azure Asset Transaction with respect to the Azure Offered Assets is not consummated within the time periods set forth in
Section 3.2(f)(ii), then, unless the Conflicts Committee agrees to an extension of such dates, Azure may not cause a Third Party Azure Asset Transaction without again complying with all of the provisions of this Section 3.2.

document with, any Governmental Authority or other Person that has not been obtained or the failure to obtain which would cause a material adverse impact on the Azure Entities.

 ARTICLE V 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

Section 5.1 Information. Each of the Partnership Entities and Azure (the “Recipient”) agrees that
it will utilize any Confidential Information received from the other solely in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder and the exercise by the Recipient of its rights and remedies hereunder and under Applicable Law, and all such
Confidential Information will be subject to and bound by the provisions set forth in this Article V. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Recipient shall return or destroy all such Confidential Information (and cease all further use
and disclosure of such Confidential Information) that has been provided to it, together with all reproductions thereof in the Recipient’s possession; provided that the Recipient shall have the right to retain copies of any such
information and records that relate to its performance of any services and the exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder or under Applicable Law, and all such copies and the information reflected thereon shall be subject to the first sentence of
this Section 5.1 and to Section 5.2. 
 Section 5.2 Definition. “Confidential
Information” means any information (regardless of format or medium of exchange) that is disclosed by any disclosing Party or any Affiliate or their respective Representatives to the Recipient or any Affiliate or any of their respective
Representatives in connection with the performance of this Agreement or that any disclosing Party has reason to expect will be maintained confidentially provided that Confidential Information shall not include any information that is publicly known.
It is further understood that each Party may have the opportunity as a result of proximity or close operational ties to observe or obtain Confidential Information of any other Party and agrees not to divulge or use such information other than as set
forth in this Article V. 
 Section 5.3 Legal Requirement. If the Recipient is legally required (by
interrogatories, discovery requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil or criminal investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, it is agreed that the Recipient prior to disclosure and to the extent
legally permissible will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the disclosing Party with prompt notice of such request(s) so that the disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive the
Recipient’s compliance with this Article V. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the disclosing Party grants a waiver hereunder, the Recipient required to furnish Confidential Information may furnish that
portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information which, in the opinion of such Party’s counsel, the Recipient is legally compelled to disclose, and the Recipient will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable
assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any Confidential Information so furnished. Disclosure of Confidential Information by the Recipient shall not violate this Article V to the extent that Recipient (or its ultimate
parent) in the exercise of reasonable good faith judgment deems it necessary, pursuant to law, regulation or stock exchange rule, to disclose such information in or in connection with filings made with the Securities Exchange Commission, any
securities exchange upon which debt or equity securities of such Recipient or its parent may be listed, to any Governmental Authority or in presentations to lenders or ratings agencies. 

Section 5.4 Survival. The provisions of this Article V shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a
period of three years following such termination.

or not, developed or invented, or (ii) copyrightable material (and the intangible rights of copyright therein) developed, by the Azure Entities, their Affiliates or their employees in connection with the performance of the Services shall be the
property of the Azure Entities (collectively “Intellectual Property”); provided, however, that Azure hereby grants, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to grant, to the MLP an irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive
and transferable (so long as such transfer is connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the particular asset in which such Intellectual Property is incorporated or is utilized) right and license to use such inventions or material; and
further provided, however, that the MLP shall only be granted such a right and license to the extent such grant does not conflict with, or result in a breach, default, or violation of a right or license to use such inventions or material
granted to the applicable Azure Entity by any Person other than an Affiliate of the applicable Azure Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Azure will and will cause its Affiliates to, use all commercially reasonable efforts to grant such right and
license to the MLP. 
 Section 6.2 License to the Azure Entities and their Affiliates. MLP hereby grants, and will cause
its Affiliates to grant, to the Azure Entities and their Affiliates an irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive and non-transferable right and license to use, during the term of this Agreement, any intellectual property provided by the MLP or its
Affiliates to the Azure Entities or their Affiliates, but only to the extent such use is necessary for the performance of the Services. Azure agrees that the Azure Entities and their Affiliates will utilize such intellectual property solely in
connection with the performance of the Services. 
 ARTICLE VII 

TERMINATION; MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated (a) by the written agreement of all of the Parties,
(b) by either Azure or MLP immediately upon a MLP Change of Control by written notice given to the other Parties to this Agreement or (c) by Azure if the MLP GP is removed without cause (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and the
Units held by the MLP GP and its Affiliates were not voted in favor of the removal.  
 Section 7.2 Choice of Law;
Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of
another state. Each of the Parties hereby agrees: (i) to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Houston, Texas in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby; (ii) that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court; (iii) that such Party will not bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement

any such action or proceeding. 

  
 13 

 Section 7.3 Dispute Resolution. 

(a) The dispute resolution provisions set forth in this Section 7.3 shall be the final, binding and exclusive means to resolve all
disputes, controversies or claims (each, a “dispute”) arising under the Agreement, and each Party irrevocably waives any right to any trial by jury with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement. 

(b) If a dispute arises, the following procedures shall be implemented: 

(i) Any Party may at any time invoke the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 7.3 as to any
dispute by providing written notice of such action to the other Parties. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding the existence of any dispute
or the pendency of any procedures pursuant to this Section 7.3, and subject to Section 7.12, the Parties agree and undertake that all payments not in dispute shall continue to be made and that all obligations not in dispute
shall continue to be performed. 
 (iii) Within 30 days after receipt of notice of a dispute under subsection (b)(i),
representatives of the Parties shall engage in non-binding mediation, and a specific timetable and completion date for its implementation shall also be agreed upon. If the completion date therefor shall occur without the Parties having resolved the
dispute, then the Parties shall proceed under Section 7.3(b)(iv). 
 (iv) If, after satisfying the requirement
above, the dispute is not resolved, the Parties shall resolve the dispute by a binding arbitration, to be held in the State of Texas pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and in accordance with the then-prevailing Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The AAA shall select one (1) arbitrator. Each Party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with arbitration and the fees and expenses of the
arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Parties involved in the dispute and advanced by them from time to time as required. It is the mutual intention and desire of the Parties that the arbitrator be selected as expeditiously as possible
following the submission of the dispute to arbitration. Once the arbitrator is selected and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing by the Parties involved in such dispute or as ordered by the arbitrator upon substantial justification
shown, the hearing for the dispute will be held within 60 days of submission of the dispute to arbitration. The arbitrator shall render his final award within 60 days, subject to extension by the arbitrator upon substantial
justification shown of extraordinary circumstances, following conclusion of the hearing and any required post-hearing briefing or other proceedings ordered by the arbitrator. Any discovery in connection
with arbitration hereunder shall be limited to information directly relevant to the controversy or claim in arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator in any such proceeding will be reasoned, final and binding and final judgment may be entered
upon such an award in any court of competent jurisdiction, but entry of such judgment will not be required to make such award effective. Any action against any Party ancillary to arbitration (as determined by the arbitrators), including any
action for provisional or conservatory measures or action to enforce an arbitration award or any judgment entered 

  
 14 

 
by any court in respect of any thereof may be brought in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Texas, and the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of Texas over any such action. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which
they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such action. Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment in any such action may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 
 Section 7.4 Notice.
Any notice, demand or communication required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered personally, by reputable overnight delivery service or other courier or by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested,
and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) as of the date of delivery if delivered personally or by overnight delivery service or other courier or (b) on the date receipt is acknowledged if delivered by certified mail, addressed as
follows; provided that a notice of a change of address shall be effective only upon receipt thereof:

Section 7.10 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
each Party agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this

 Section 7.11 No Waiver. Any failure of any of the Parties to comply with any
obligation, covenant, agreement or condition in this Agreement may be waived by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the Party or Parties granting such waiver, 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 subsequent or other failure. 

Section 7.12 Set Off. Each Party has the right to set off against any amounts due to the other Party hereunder any and all
amounts that the other Party owes to the first Party under this Agreement. 

  
 16 

 Section 7.13 Rights of Third Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any third party, including any creditor of any Party, any of its
Affiliates or any Limited Partner of the MLP. No such third party shall obtain any right under any provision of this Agreement or shall by reasons of any such provision make any claim in respect of any liability (or otherwise) against any other
Party.

 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT 

This Registration Rights Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 27,
2015 (the “Execution Date”), by and between Marlin Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and NuDevco Midstream Development, LLC (“NMD”).
Each of the parties to this Agreement is sometimes referred to individually in this Agreement as a “Party” and are sometimes collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Parties.” 

 WHEREAS, this Agreement is made in connection with the entry into, and as a condition to the
consummation of, that certain Transaction Agreement, dated January 14, 2015, by and among Azure Midstream Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Azure”), the Partnership, Marlin Midstream GP, LLC, a Delaware

 WHEREAS, the Partnership has agreed to provide the registration and other rights set
forth in this Agreement for the benefit of NMD pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  
 NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each party hereto, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I

 ARTICLE II 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

2.1 Registration. Upon receipt of a Notice from NMD, the Partnership shall prepare and file
as promptly as reasonably practicable a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Statement”), which may be a Registration Statement that
provides for the resale of the Registrable Securities then outstanding from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 of the Securities Act. The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become
effective on or as soon as reasonably practicable after filing. 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 the Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.1 to be effective, supplemented and amended to the
extent necessary to ensure that it is available at all times for the resale of all Registrable Securities by the Holders until the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been sold
by the Holder or (ii) six months following such Registration Statement’s effective date (the “Effectiveness Period”).  

2.2 Piggyback Rights. If the Partnership shall propose to file a Registration Statement (other than pursuant to a demand made pursuant
to Section 2.1, a registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a Registration Statement on Form S-4, S-8 or any successor form thereto or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for
sale to the public) for a primary Underwritten Offering, then as soon as practicable following the engagement of counsel by the Partnership to prepare the documents to be used in connection with such offering, the Partnership shall give notice
(including, notification by electronic mail) of such proposed Underwritten Offering to each Holder (together with its Affiliates) and such notice shall offer such Holder the opportunity to include in such Underwritten Offering such number of
Registrable Securities (the “Included Registrable Securities”) as each such Holder may request in writing; provided, however, that the number of Included Registrable Securities shall at least equal
$30.0 million of Registrable Securities; provided, further, that the Partnership shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of the Holders in any registration statement prior to the expiration of the lock-up
restrictions set forth in Article IV of the Unitholder Agreement; and provided, further, 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 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 2.3. Any notice required to be provided in this Section 2.2 to Holders shall be provided on a Business
Day pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof and receipt of such 

  
 2 

 
notice shall be confirmed by the Holders. Each such Holder shall then have two Business Days (or one Business Day in connection with any overnight or bought Underwritten Offering) after notice
has been delivered to request in writing the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering. If no written request for inclusion from a Holder is received within the specified time, each 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, (i) 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 (ii) 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. 

2.3 Priority. If the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters 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 on the price, timing or distribution of the Units offered or the market for the Units, then the Units to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall include the number of Registrable Securities that such Managing Underwriter or
Underwriters advises the Partnership can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) first, to the Partnership and (ii) second, pro rata among the Selling Holders who have requested participation in
such Underwritten Offering and any other holder of securities of the Partnership having rights of registration that are neither expressly senior nor subordinated to the Registrable Securities (the “Parity Securities”). The
pro rata allocations for each Selling Holder who has requested participation in such Underwritten Offering shall be the product of (i) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such Underwritten Offering multiplied
by (ii) the fraction derived by dividing (x) the number of Registrable Securities owned on the Execution Date by such Selling Holder by (y) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned on the Execution Date by the Selling
Holders plus the aggregate number of Parity Securities owned on the Execution Date by all holders of Parity Securities that are participating in the Underwritten Offering. 

2.4 Delay Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Marlin GP determines that the Partnership’s
compliance with its obligations in this Article II would be detrimental to the Partnership because such registration would (a) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, reorganization or other similar transaction
involving the Partnership, (b) require premature disclosure of material information that the Partnership has a bona fide purpose for preserving as confidential, (c) render the Partnership unable to comply with requirements under applicable
securities Laws, or (d) have a material adverse effect on the Partnership, then the Partnership may postpone compliance with such obligations for a period of not more than six months, provided, however, that such right may not be exercised more
than twice in any 24-month period. 

  
 3 

 2.5 Underwritten Offerings. 

(a) Request for a Secondary Offering. If NMD elects to dispose of a number of Registrable Securities that NMD reasonably anticipates
will result in gross proceeds of at least $30 million in the aggregate, the Partnership shall, upon Notice by NMD, retain underwriters that are reasonably acceptable to NMD in order to permit for NMD to effect such sale through an Underwritten
Offering (a “Secondary Offering”). 
 (b) Limitation on Offerings. NMD may exercise its right to demand a
Secondary Offering of its Registrable Securities no more than two times in any twelve-month period and no more than six times pursuant to this Agreement. 

(c) General Procedures. In connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Agreement, the Partnership shall be entitled to select
the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters. In connection with an Underwritten Offering contemplated by this Agreement in which a Selling Holder participates, each Selling Holder and the Partnership shall enter into an underwriting agreement that
contains such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations as are customary in underwriting agreements for firm commitment offerings of securities and that are reasonably acceptable to the Partnership. No Holder may
participate in such Underwritten Offering unless such 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. If any Selling Holder disapproves of the terms or conditions of an underwriting agreement, such Selling Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by notice to the Partnership
and the Managing Underwriter; provided, however, that such withdrawal must be made up to and including the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. No such withdrawal or abandonment shall affect the Partnership’s obligation
to pay Registration Expenses. The Partnership’s management may but shall not be required to participate in a roadshow or similar marketing effort in connection with any Underwritten Offering. 

2.6 Sale Procedures. In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Partnership will: 

(a) furnish to each Selling Holder (i) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing the 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 the Registration Statement or supplement or amendment thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein and any
supplements and amendments thereto as such Selling Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, provided, however, that
the Partnership will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to clause (ii) immediately above that is available on the Commission’s website; 

  
 4 

 (b) if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable
Securities covered by the 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 such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject; 
 (c) promptly notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be
delivered by any of them under the Securities Act, of (i) the filing of the 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) the receipt of any written comments from the Commission with respect to any filing referred to

required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made); (ii) the issuance or express threat
of issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the 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 to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and to take such other commercially reasonable action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, threat thereof or
proceedings related thereto; 
 (e) 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 such Registrable Securities, including the provision of comfort letters and legal opinions as are customary in such securities offerings; and 

  
 5 

 2.7 Suspension. Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Partnership of
the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.6(d), 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 such subsection 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.  
 2.8 Cooperation by Holders. The Partnership shall have no obligation
to include Registrable Securities of a Holder in the Registration Statement or in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.2 who has failed to timely furnish such information regarding such Holder and its ownership of the
Registrable Securities being offered and its intended method of distribution that the Partnership determines, after consultation with its counsel, is reasonably required in order for the registration statement or prospectus supplement, as
applicable, to comply with the Securities Act or to verify the rights of the Holder hereunder. 
 2.9 Restrictions on
Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. So long as NMD continues to hold Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that in connection with any public offering of by the Partnership and upon the request of the Managing Underwriting,
such Holder shall not, without the prior written consent of such Managing Underwriter, during the period commencing on the effective date of such registration and ending on the date specified by such Managing Underwriter (such period not to exceed

Securities; (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or
(b) above is to be settled by delivery of Units or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9 shall not apply to sales of Registrable Securities to be included in such offering pursuant
to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 and 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 Affiliate of the Partnership on whom a restriction is imposed. 
 2.10 Expenses. Except as set
forth in an underwriting agreement for the applicable Underwritten Offering or as otherwise agreed between the Selling Holders and the Partnership, the Partnership shall pay all reasonable Registration Expenses as determined in good faith,
including, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, whether or not any sale is made pursuant to such Underwritten Offering. Each Selling Holder shall pay all Selling Expenses that are allocable to such Selling Holder’s pro rata share of
Registrable Securities offered hereunder. In addition, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 hereof, the Partnership shall not be responsible for legal fees and expenses of counsel and advisors to the Selling Holders or incurred
by the Holders in connection with the exercise of such Holders’ rights hereunder. 
 2.11 Indemnification. 

(a) By the Partnership. In addition to, and not in limitation of, the Partnership’s obligations under Section 7.7 of the
Partnership Agreement, in the event of the 

  
 6 

 
filing 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 thereunder, 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 Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, employees or agents (collectively, the
“Selling Holder Indemnified Persons”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest settlements or other
amounts (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder Indemnified 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, are based upon or result from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (in the case of any prospectus, in light of the circumstances under
which such statement is made) contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of are
based upon or result from 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading, and will reimburse each such Selling Holder Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss or actions or proceedings; provided,
however, that the Partnership will not be liable to any Selling Holder Indemnified Person 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 reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished by such Selling Holder Indemnified Person in writing to the Partnership specifically for use in a Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus
supplement, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof. 
 (b) By Each Selling
Holder. Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, Marlin GP, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Partnership within the meaning of the
Securities Act or 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 a Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or
supplement thereof. 
 (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 it
from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.11. In any action brought against any indemnified party, it 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

  
 7 

 
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 2.11 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
indemnifying party shall settle any action brought against any indemnified party with respect to which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the indemnified party, unless the settlement thereof
imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete and unconditional release from all liability of, the indemnified party. 
 (d)
Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.11 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 such 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. 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 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 such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 (e) Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.11 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.

2.13 Termination of Registration Rights under the Partnership Agreement. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to
the contrary, any and all registration rights of NMD or its Affiliates or their respective transferees with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement as provided for in the Partnership Agreement, or any predecessor agreement, are hereby
