or Bond by the Sole Shareholder to the Issuer as follows (with respect to Loans or Bonds contributed hereunder both before and after the Closing Date): 
  

	 	(i)	 Each Loan or Bond sold, transferred, assigned or contributed by the Sole Shareholder under this Agreement was
originally acquired by the Sole Shareholder for fair value at the time of such acquisition. 

  

	 	(ii)	 As of the applicable settlement date of the relevant contribution hereunder, the Sole Shareholder is or was the
sole owner with good and marketable title of, and the right to transfer, each Loan or Bond that it contributes to the Issuer hereunder, free and clear of any security interest, lien or other adverse claim. All actions necessary under the law of any
relevant jurisdiction (other than United States bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally) and under the terms of the
relevant Loan or Bond, as applicable, to effect a sale of such Loan or Bond to the Issuer have been or will have been taken on the date of the relevant sale to the Sole Shareholder and the date of the contribution or sale thereof (as applicable) to
the Issuer. All actions necessary under the law of any relevant jurisdiction (other than United States bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of
creditors generally) and under the terms of the relevant Loan or Bond, as applicable, to effect a sale (if any) of any Loan or Bond to the Sole Shareholder and the subsequent contribution or sale (as applicable) of such Loan or Bond to the Issuer,
in each case, to be taken by the Sole Shareholder, have been or will have been taken on the date of the relevant sale (if any) to the Sole Shareholder and the date of subsequent contribution or sale thereof (as applicable) to the Issuer. Except as
otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement, no sale of such Loan or Bond to the Sole Shareholder or to the Issuer has been, or will be, made by any holder of equity in the Sole Shareholder. 

 

	 	(iii)	 With respect to any Loan or Bond contributed to the Issuer hereunder that was acquired by the Sole Shareholder
from any Person, the assignment or other transfer documentation governing such acquisition by the Sole Shareholder from such Person: 

  

	 	(A)	 was entered into on arms’ length terms, 

 

	 	(B)	 provides for the assignment or other transfer of all of such Person’s right, title and interest in, to and
under such Loan or Bond, as applicable (other than interest, fees and similar amounts accrued to or as of the date of assignment or other transfer that are customarily paid to sellers), 

 

	 	(C)	 does not give such Person the option to revoke the relevant assignment or other transfer under any
circumstances (whether by a redemption payment or a payment from any other source of funds), 

	 	(D)	 does not (1) give such Person the right to exercise any continuing control of any kind over the relevant
Loan or Bond, as applicable, under any circumstances (including with respect to any disposition of such Loan or Bond, as applicable, by the Sole Shareholder or any transferee thereof) or (2) restrict in any matter the ability of the Sole
Shareholder (or any transferee thereof) to exercise any control over such Loan or Bond, as applicable, including the right to dispose of such Loan or Bond, as applicable and to exercise voting and other consensual rights in respect of such Loan or
Bond, as applicable, 

  

	 	(E)	 does not impose an obligation upon or provide a right to such Person to repurchase or reacquire such Loan or
Bond, as applicable other than by reason of a material breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants referred to in the following clause (F), 

 

	 	(F)	 does not provide for any other recourse of the Sole Shareholder or the Issuer to such Person (whether with
respect to the performance by the relevant obligor(s) under such Loan or Bond, as applicable or otherwise, including collection risk) other than recourse for breach of representations, warranties or covenants and related indemnification obligations
of such Person that are substantially similar to (and in any event no more favorable to the Sole Shareholder or the Issuer in any material respect than) the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities applicable to the seller in standard
transfer documentation published by the LSTA, 

  

	 	(G)	 does not provide for any future or further payment participation or other consideration of any kind to be paid
or delivered to such Person with respect to such Loan or Bond, as applicable (other than interest, fees and similar amounts accrued to or as of the date of assignment or other transfer that are customarily paid to sellers), 

 

	 	(H)	 provides for the payment by the Sole Shareholder of the purchase price for such acquisition on or prior to the
related settlement date and notification to the obligor on such Loan or Bond, as applicable of such acquisition and 

  

	 	(I)	 by its terms reflects or is not inconsistent with the parties’ intent that such assignment was an absolute
assignment and transfer. 

	 	(J)	 If any of the foregoing representations in this subsection (iii) is untrue or inaccurate for any reason,
then to the extent it would cause such representation to be more true or accurate, the Sole Shareholder hereby waives (x) such provision or portion thereof of such assignment or other transfer documentation that causes such representation to be
untrue or inaccurate and (y) all rights and remedies of the Sole Shareholder against any Person arising from any such provision or portion thereof (and such Person shall be deemed to constitute an express third party beneficiary of such waiver
and is entitled to enforce such waiver without any action or notice or acceptance hereof or reliance hereon, all as if such Person were a party hereto). 

  

	 	(iv)	 The Sole Shareholder (A) has made its own independent credit evaluation in order to acquire each Loan and
each Bond that is contributed hereunder and (B) has not, and will not in the future, rely primarily on the credit of any Person from which it has acquired any Loan or Bond that is being contributed hereunder in making any investment decision
with regard to its purchase of such Loan or Bond from such Person, but will instead rely primarily on the collectability of such Loan or Bond, as applicable. With respect to each Loan or Bond that is contributed hereunder, any Person from which the
Sole Shareholder acquired such Loan or Bond (1) has no obligation to pay the Sole Shareholder’s costs of collection of such Loan or Bond, as applicable (2) has no obligation to pay or reimburse the Sole Shareholder for paying taxes in
respect of such Loan or Bond, as applicable, that accrue after the transfer thereof to the Sole Shareholder and (3) has no obligation to provide any financing or credit support (whether by guarantee or otherwise) to the Sole Shareholder or the
Issuer in respect of such Loan or such Bond, as applicable, or the Notes. 

  

	 	(c)	 The Sole Shareholder represents and warrants to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Valuation Agent as of the date
of acquisition by the Issuer of any Loan or Bond, that the Sole Shareholder would be entitled to receive all interest payments on such Loan or Bond, as applicable, free of U.S. federal or foreign withholding tax or, in the case of foreign
withholding tax, would be entitled to receive “gross up” payments that cover the full amount of such withholding taxes, in each case, if they held such Loan or Bond, as applicable, directly.

and things as the Issuer or the Valuation Agent may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

	6.	 Tax:

would cause the Issuer to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. 
 (b) The Sole
Shareholder shall not transfer any shares in the Issuer or cause the Issuer to register a transfer of any shares if such transfer would cause the Issuer to have more than one owner for U.S. Federal income tax purposes or otherwise would cause the
Issuer to be treated other than as disregarded as an entity separate from the Sole Shareholder. 
  

	7.	 The Issuer shall not acquire any Loan or Bond from an Affiliate of the Sole Shareholder and the Sole
Shareholder shall not contribute hereunder any Loan or Bond that was originally acquired by the Sole Shareholder from an Affiliate of the Sole Shareholder.

the following to the Valuation Agent in respect of each Portfolio Asset that (x) was, as of the related Inclusion Date, an Illiquid Loan or (y) becomes, on any day following the Inclusion Date, an Illiquid Loan (the date on which such
event occurs, the Illiquid Event Date for such Portfolio Asset): 

  

	 	(a)	 in the case of the initial valuation for such Illiquid Loan: 

 

	 	(i)	 with respect to each Portfolio Asset acquired by the Issuer that is an Illiquid Loan as of the related

Inclusion Date, a Full Valuation within 20 calendar days of the last day of the Asset Valuation Report Period following the Asset Valuation Report Period in which the relevant Illiquid Event Date occurs; and 

 

	 	(b)	 thereafter, for so long as such Portfolio Asset remains an Illiquid Loan as of the last day of the relevant
Asset Valuation Report Period: 

  

	 	(i)	 if and for so long as no Performance Trigger has been triggered and is continuing for such Portfolio Asset, a
Spread Refresh Valuation in respect of such Illiquid Loan within 20 calendar days of the last day of each Asset Valuation Report Period, provided that (A) no fewer than one Full Valuation shall be provided in each continuous twelve
calendar month period with respect to each such Portfolio Asset and (B) if the Valuation 

	 	
Agent determines in good faith that an event has occurred with respect to a Portfolio Asset or the related Portfolio Asset Obligor that may have resulted or is reasonably likely to result in a
decline in the creditworthiness of such Portfolio Asset without such decline yet being reflected in the Performance Trigger metrics, the Valuation Agent shall be entitled to request a Full Valuation in lieu of a Spread Refresh Valuation for up to
three Portfolio Asset Obligors with respect to any Asset Valuation Report Period by notifying the Sole Shareholder of their identities no less than three Business Days prior to the last day of such Asset Valuation Report Period for delivery within

the subject matter hereof and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement, as the case may be, will not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that

EIP
Acquisition Corp I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of EIP Acquisition
Sponsor I LLC or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), or order, the principal sum
of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) or such lesser amount as shall have been advanced by Payee to Maker and shall remain
unpaid under this Note on the Maturity Date (as defined below) in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and
conditions described below. All payments on this Note shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or
as otherwise determined by the Maker to such account as the Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance
with the provisions of this Note.

 

1.
      Principal. The entire unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be payable on the
earlier of: (i) September 30, 2021 or (ii) the date on which Maker consummates an initial public offering of its securities
(such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time. Under no
circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or shareholder of the Maker,
be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder.

 

2.
      Drawdown Requests. Maker and Payee agree that Maker may request, from time to time, up to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
($300,000) in drawdowns under this Note to be used for costs and expenses related to Maker’s formation and the proposed
initial public offering of its securities (the “IPO”). Principal of this Note may be drawn down from time to
time prior to the Maturity Date upon written request from Maker to Payee (each, a “Drawdown Request”). Each
Drawdown Request must state the amount to be drawn down, and must not be an amount less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). Payee
shall fund each Drawdown Request no later than three (3) business days after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however,
that the maximum amount of drawdowns outstanding under this Note at any time may not exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000).
No fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker.

 

3.
       Interest. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

4.
      Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection
of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorney’s fees, then to the payment in full of
any late charges and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.
