Annual Budget (a) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall be operated in accordance with an annual budget, as it may be annually updated from time to time pursuant to this Section 3 (the “Annual Budget”). The initial Annual Budget for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2018, including the related variances, is attached hereto as Schedule B-1 (the “Initial Annual Budget”). For each Fiscal Year thereafter, the Asset Manager shall be responsible for preparing and submitting to the Company Board for approval as a Major Decision in accordance with the terms of the Company LLC Agreement a proposed updated Annual Budget, including the related variances. The Annual Budget shall be prepared by the Asset Manager in accordance with the protocols (including the preparation of the back-up materials on the timetable set forth therein) set forth on Schedule B-2 hereto (the “Budget Development Protocols”). The Annual Budget for each Fiscal Year shall be prepared with the same detail and line items as set forth in the Initial Annual Budget and such other detail as the members of the Company Board appointed by the Preferred Partners in accordance with Section 4.3(c) of the Parent LP Agreement (the “Preferred Board Members”) may reasonably request. In connection with the review of a proposed Annual Budget, the Preferred Board Members may reasonably request additional information regarding the materials supporting the proposed Annual Budget or such other information as is necessary or desirable to enable review of such proposed Annual Budget, and the Asset Manager shall provide such requested information. The Preferred Board Members shall consent to or reject the proposed Annual Budget, or request additional information (as provided for above), within ten (10) Business Days following (i) receipt of such proposed Annual Budget or (ii) receipt of all additional information that is, in the determination of the Preferred Board Members, necessary or desirable to enable review of such proposed Annual Budget. The Asset Manager shall comply with the Budget Development Protocols regarding the Preliminary Budget for each Fiscal Year. The Annual Budget shall be prepared and submitted annually by the Asset Manager no later than December 10, 2018 for the next Fiscal Year and thereafter by December 10 of each year with respect to the following Fiscal Year. The Annual Budget for each Fiscal Year shall include use of the pre-funded reserve amounts as shown on Schedule B-3 hereto for the four Fiscal Quarters comprising such Fiscal Year. In connection with the submission of the Annual Budget, the Asset Manager shall also prepare and submit to the Company Board an annual business plan for Parent and its Subsidiaries, including a responsible five-year operations forecast, including the operating metrics set forth on Schedule B-4 hereto (the “Annual Plan”). The Preferred Board Members, or their designated representatives, shall be provided reasonable access to all information, data, reports, models and analyses relied on in developing the Annual Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all financial and silvicultural assumptions, constraints, supporting stand level data, merchantable timber volumes, pre-merchantable acres by species and age class, and acres by land classification).

Each Operating Budget shall be prepared in accordance with a form approved by the Independent Engineer, shall set forth all material assumptions used in the preparation of such Operating Budget, and shall become effective upon approval of the Senior Facility Agent, acting reasonably and in consultation with the Independent Engineer; provided, that if the Senior Facility Agent shall not have approved or disapproved the Operating Budget within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, such Operating Budget shall be deemed to have been approved; and provided, further that the Senior Facility Agent shall have neither the right nor the obligation to approve costs for Gas purchase contracts for the Project contained in the Operating Budget. If the Borrower does not have an effective annual Operating Budget before the beginning of any calendar year, until such proposed Operating Budget is approved, the Operating Budget most recently in effect shall continue to apply; provided, that (A) any items of the proposed Operating Budget that have been approved shall be given effect in substitution of the corresponding items in the Operating Budget most recently in effect, (B) costs for Gas purchase contracts for the Project shall be as provided by the Borrower and (C) all other items shall be increased by the lesser of (x) two and one-half percent (2.5%) and (y) the increase proposed by the Borrower for such item in such proposed Operating Budget.

It is acknowledged by Owner that capital expenditures required as a result of an emergency situation shall not reduce amounts available pursuant to the Capital Budget or otherwise hereunder, other than to the extent a Capital Budget item is subsumed within the capital expenditures required as a result of the occurrence of the emergency;
Annual Operating Budget As soon as available but, in any event, within sixty (60) days prior to (i) the Cooperation Period Commencement Date in respect of the initial Plant to be completed and, thereafter, (ii) the commencement of each Fiscal Year, an annual operating budget (the "Annual Budget") (including budgeted statements of income and sources and uses of cash and balance sheets) prepared by the Borrower and accompanied by a statement of the chief financial officer of the Borrower to the effect that, the best of his or her knowledge, the budget is a reasonable estimate for the period covered thereby. The first Annual Budget shall cover the period from the Cooperation Period Commencement Date through the end of the Fiscal Year in which the Cooperation Period Commencement Date occurs, and, if such period consists of less than six (6) months, for the immediately succeeding Fiscal Year. Each Annual Budget shall contain complete, fair and accurate estimates (by principal components) of Sales Proceeds, Operating and Maintenance Costs and Debt Service for each Month covered by such Annual Budget based on the Borrower's best projections at such time. Unless otherwise consented to by Eximbank, the Annual Budget from year to year shall be based on the same format as the Base Case Forecast, including any amounts allocated for contingencies, and be maintained on the same basis and provide sufficient detail to permit a meaningful comparison. For each Annual Budget that is expected to cover any period occurring after the Disbursement Date, Eximbank (in consultation with the Independent Engineer) shall review such Annual Budget, and Eximbank's response shall not be unreasonably delayed. If Eximbank does not approve an Annual Budget, Eximbank shall notify the Borrower of the items which are disapproved and the reason for such disapproval. Until such Annual Budget is so approved, the Annual Budget most recently in effect shall continue to apply, except that any items of the then proposed Annual Budget that have been approved shall also be given effect. From time to time, but not more frequently than once per Quarter, the Borrower may propose amendments to an Annual Budget, and Eximbank (in consultation with the Independent Engineer) may reject such proposal within thirty (30) Business Days from the date the Borrower submits such proposal if in Eximbank's reasonable judgment such amendment is not reasonably necessary or advisable for operation of the Project and, if no such rejection is made, such amendments shall become effective. Not later than three (3) Business Days after the effective date of each Annual budget and of any amendment thereto, the Borrower shall provide a copy of the same to the Collateral Trustee.

Approved Budget The Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to the Company a revised budget that has been approved by the Board of Directors (the “Approved Budget”) by December 31 of the preceding Fiscal Year. However, the Company acknowledges that the Approved Budget is only an estimate of the performance of the Vessels and the Manager makes no assurance, representation or warranty that the actual performance of the Vessels in the applicable Fiscal Year will correspond to the estimates contained in the Approved Budget for such Fiscal Year. The Parties acknowledge that any projections contained in the Approved Budget are subject to and may be affected by changes in financial, economic and other conditions and circumstances beyond the control of the Parties.
