Tenant shall prepare and file all Tax reports required by Governmental Authorities which relate to the Taxes which accrue or arise with respect to the Leased Property during the Term.

(g) Taxes imposed as a result of any Transfer of any interest in the Leased Property by Landlord, any Equity Investor or any Affiliate of Landlord or any Landlord Lender (unless such Transfer occurs during or as a result of a Tenant Event of Default); and

6.4 Payment of Taxes and Impositions . If bills or invoices in respect of a Tax or an Imposition are received by Landlord, Landlord shall, within ten (10) Business Days of Landlord’s receipt thereof, but in any event at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date for the related Tax or Imposition ( provided , that Landlord has received such xxxx or invoice prior to ten (10) Business Days preceding such due date), deliver to Tenant any xxxx or invoice with respect to any Tax or Imposition. All taxing authorities shall be instructed to send all Tax invoices to Tenant. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord or Tenant has received confirmation of payment on account of Taxes, such Party shall provide to the other Party a copy of such confirmation that such Tax was paid.

6.5 Abatements . For the purpose of determining payments due from Tenant under this Article VI , Taxes and Impositions shall be the Taxes and Impositions assessed until such time as the Taxes and Impositions are reduced by abatement, refund or rebate. If any abatement, refund or rebate is granted, the Taxes or Impositions, as applicable, shall be the Taxes or Impositions as so reduced. Any rebate, refund or abatement received subsequent to payment of such Taxes or Impositions by Tenant shall be refunded to Tenant by Landlord within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by Landlord, even if the abatement is received after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and such obligations shall survive termination of this Lease. If Landlord or any taxing authority applies any rebate, refund or abatement as a credit against Taxes or Impositions due for a period following the termination of this Lease, then the rebate, refund or abatement shall be deemed received by Landlord upon granting of the rebate, refund or abatement. If Landlord or any taxing authority fails to refund any rebate, refund or abatement to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt (other than any rebate, refund or abatement that will be applied as a credit against Taxes and Impositions due for another period), Tenant shall be entitled to interest calculated at the Default Interest Rate from the date payment was due until the date payment is made. Any rebate, refund or abatement realized by Landlord prior to payment of the Taxes and Impositions by Tenant shall result in the immediate reduction of Taxes and Impositions then due from Tenant to Landlord.

6.6 Right to Contest Taxes . Tenant shall have the right to file and prosecute to completion an application contesting the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes, contesting the assessed value of all or any portion of the Leased Property, or seeking an abatement of any Taxes (any such application, a “ Tax Challenge ”) either in its own name or in the name of Landlord, at no cost or expense to Landlord other than any de minimis cost or expense and throughout all administrative and judicial proceedings (trial court and all appeals) until there is a final, nonappealable determination. Tenant may discontinue a Tax Challenge at any time. If Tenant files or prosecutes a Tax Challenge, Landlord and its Affiliates shall cooperate and furnish any pertinent information needed for the Tax Challenge, at no cost or expense to Landlord other than any de minimis cost or expense. Tenant shall be entitled to be reimbursed out of the award for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with a Tax Challenge. Landlord shall not have the right to file a Tax Challenge with respect to any Taxes accruing during the Term unless the taxing authority requires the Tax Challenge to be filed by Landlord and Tenant requests Landlord to do so. Landlord shall immediately provide Tenant with a copy of any notices or demands from any Governmental Authority or other Persons which concerns Taxes. Upon the request of Landlord at any time or from time-to-time, Tenant shall provide a written report to Landlord regarding the status of any such Tax Challenge.

6.7 Limitation on Tenant’s Tax Challenges. In no event shall the manner in which Tenant pursues any Tax Challenge exacerbate in any material respect the risk to Landlord of civil or criminal liability, penalty or sanction, in addition to such risks as may exist for the matters that are the subject of the Tax Challenge prior to such Tax Challenge, and except for liabilities, penalties or sanctions for which Tenant may, and in fact does, post a bond. Further, the manner in which Tenant pursues a Tax Challenge shall not exacerbate in any material respect the risk to Landlord of defeasance of its interest in the Leased Property in addition to the risk of such defeasance as may exist for the matters that are the subject of the Tax Challenge prior to such Tax Challenge and except for such risk which Tenant may, and in fact does, bond around. Tenant agrees that Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently prosecute any such Tax Challenge to a final conclusion, except that Tenant shall have the right to attempt to settle or compromise such contest through negotiations and to discontinue any such Tax Challenge at any time. Tenant shall promptly after the final determination of such Tax Challenge, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith, together with all penalties, fines, interest, costs and expenses thereof or in connection therewith, and perform all acts the performance of which shall be ordered or decreed as a result thereof.

(b) Non-Separable Additions . If Tenant proposes to make Permitted Capital Improvements and Additional Lines that are not readily separable or cannot be detached from the Liquids Transportation System without adversely affecting the structural integrity or functionality of the Liquids Transportation System as operated prior to the making of the Permitted Capital Improvements and Additional Lines (each, a “ Non-Separable Addition ”), Tenant may provide Landlord written notice (a “ Notice of Non-Separable Addition ”), which

Notice of Non-Separable Addition shall (i) describe the Non-Separable Addition in reasonable detail, (ii) provide a good faith estimate of the total cost of making the Non-Separable Addition, (iii) offer Landlord the option to both (A) pay for such Non-Separable Addition, and (B) engage the services of Tenant as construction agent for Landlord with respect to the making of such Non-Separable Addition, and (iv) specify an increase in the Base Rent if Landlord elects to pay for and engage Tenant as Landlord’s construction agent for such Non-Separable Addition. Landlord shall not have the option to pay for such Non-Separable Addition unless Landlord also engages the services of Tenant as construction agent for such Non-Separable Addition. Landlord shall consider such offer as set forth in such Notice of Non-Separable Addition in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain financing for such Non-Separable Addition. Landlord shall, by written notice delivered to Tenant within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Non-Separable Addition, elect in writing either to pay for and engage Tenant as Landlord’s construction agent for such Non-Separable Addition or to refrain from paying for such Non-Separable Addition. Failure to give such timely notice shall constitute Landlord’s election not to pay for such Non-Separable Addition. If Landlord accepts such offer, (a) Landlord shall pay for such Non-Separable Addition and engage Tenant as Landlord’s construction agent for such Non-Separable Addition and (b) Landlord and Tenant shall (1) execute the documents required to evidence such amendment to this Lease or a new lease for such Non-Separable Addition, as applicable, and (2) execute documents, reasonably satisfactory to each of them, governing advances by Landlord to pay the costs of such Non-Separable Addition. Non-Separable Additions that Landlord elects to pay for shall become a part of the Leased Property under this Lease, with an increase in Base Rent as proposed by Tenant in the Notice of Non-Separable Addition, unless Landlord and Tenant instead agree that such Non-Separable Addition shall be the subject of a separate lease, upon substantially the same terms as this Lease, but with Base Rent as proposed by Tenant in the Notice of Non-Separable Addition. If Landlord elects not to pay for such Non-Separable Addition and Tenant elects to proceed with making the Non-Separable Addition, then subject to subsection (e) below, such Non-Separable Addition shall remain the sole property of Tenant, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect unaffected by the Non-Separable Addition.

(c) Separable Additions . If Tenant proposes to make Permitted Capital Improvements and Additional Lines that are not Non-Separable Additions (each, a “ Separable Addition ”), Tenant may provide Landlord written notice (a “ Notice of Separable Addition ”), which Notice of Separable Addition shall (i) describe the Separable Addition in reasonable detail, (ii) provide a good faith estimate of the total cost of making the Separable Addition, (iii) offer Landlord the option to both (A) pay for such Separable Addition, and (B) engage the services of Tenant as construction agent for Landlord with respect to the making of such Separable Addition, and (iv) specify an increase in the Base Rent if Landlord elects to pay for and engage Tenant as Landlord’s construction agent for such Separable Addition.

Landlord shall consider such offer as set forth in such Notice of Separable Addition in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain financing for such Separable Addition. Landlord shall, by written notice delivered to Tenant within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Separable Addition, elect in writing either to pay for and engage Tenant as Landlord’s construction agent for such Separable Addition or to refrain from paying for such Separable Addition. Failure to give such timely notice shall constitute Landlord’s election not to pay for such Separable

Addition. If Landlord accepts such offer, (a) Landlord shall pay for such Separable Addition on the terms in the Notice of Separable Addition and engage Tenant as Landlord’s construction agent for making such Separable Addition, and (b) Landlord and Tenant shall (1) execute the documents required to evidence such amendment to this Lease or a new lease for such Separable Addition, as applicable, and (2) execute documents, reasonably satisfactory to each of them, governing advances by Landlord to pay the costs of such Separable Addition. Separable Additions that Landlord elects to pay for shall become a part of the Leased Property under this Lease, with an increase in Base Rent as proposed by Tenant in the Notice of Separable Addition, unless Landlord and Tenant instead agree that such Separable Addition shall be the subject of a separate lease, upon substantially the same terms as this Lease, but with Base Rent as proposed by Tenant in the Notice of Separable Addition. If Landlord elects not to pay for such Separable Addition and Tenant elects to proceed with making the Separable Addition, then subject to subsection (e) below, such Separable Addition shall remain the sole property of Tenant, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect unaffected by the Separable Addition.

(d) Financing for Permitted Capital Improvements and Additional Lines .

(i) Except as set forth in Section 10.1(d)(ii) , Tenant shall at all times have the right to finance any Permitted Capital Improvements and Additional Lines with a third party, regardless of whether the same are Separable Additions or Non-Separable Additions, without Landlord’s consent; provided , however , that Tenant will notify Landlord in advance of entering into any such financing secured by a Lien on such Permitted Capital Improvements and Additional Lines (as applicable) and give Landlord an opportunity to make a proposal (non-binding on Tenant) to pay for, and engage Tenant as Landlord’s construction agent for, such Permitted Capital Improvements and Additional Lines (as applicable). If requested by Tenant, Landlord agrees to cooperate in good faith with Tenant in the financing of any such Permitted Capital Improvements and Additional Lines (as applicable) that Tenant deems to be necessary or desirable for the operation of the Leased Property or the Tenant Other Activities.

(ii) If Tenant or any of its Affiliates seeks third-party financing for an Additional Line to connect oil platform WD 30J and the Grand Isle terminal facility (the “ Planned Additional Line ”), then, in accordance with this Section 10.1(d)(ii) , Tenant shall provide Landlord the right to offer to finance the Planned Additional Line, including under an arrangement whereby the Planned Additional Line would become either (x) part of the Leased Property under this Lease, with an increase in Base Rent, or (y) the leased property under a separate lease agreement between Landlord and Tenant.

Landlord will have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the Financing Notice (the “ Evaluation Period ”) to review and evaluate the opportunity to finance the Planned Additional Line, and during such period Tenant

shall promptly provide Landlord with such additional information about the Planned Additional Line as Landlord may reasonably request.

(B) In the event that Landlord desires to make an offer to finance the Planned Additional Line, then prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the material terms and conditions under which Landlord is willing to provide such financing (the “ Offered Terms ”).

(C) If Landlord does not timely deliver the Offered Terms, then Tenant or any of its Affiliates shall have the right, for a period of six (6) months from the end of the Evaluation Period, to obtain financing for the Planned Additional Line from any Person on such terms and conditions as Tenant or such Affiliate determines in its sole discretion.

(D) If Landlord timely delivers the Offered Terms, then Tenant shall, in its sole discretion, either accept or reject the Offered Terms, by providing written notice of such acceptance or rejection within ten (10) days after its receipt of the Offered Terms. If Tenant accepts the Offered Terms, then Landlord and Tenant shall proceed to work together cooperatively and in good faith to finalize the agreements for Landlord to finance the Planned Additional Line in accordance with the Offered Terms. If Tenant rejects the Offered Terms, then (i) Tenant or any of its Affiliates shall have the right, for a period of six (6) months from the end of the Evaluation Period, to obtain financing for the Planned Additional Line from any non-Affiliate, (ii) during the period of six (6) months from the end of the Evaluation Period, Tenant and Landlord may meet to discuss the Offered Terms rejected by Tenant, including any of the Offered Terms that Tenant would like Landlord to consider further, and (iii) based on such meeting between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord may, submit a counterproposal to Tenant revising its initial Offered Terms within the period of time requested by Tenant at such meeting (but not less than three (3) Business Days after such meeting), and Tenant shall consider such counterproposal (if any) in good faith.

(E) If Tenant or one of its Affiliates does not enter into agreements to finance the Planned Additional Line within six (6) months following the end of the Evaluation Period, then Landlord’s right of first offer set forth in this Section 10.1(d)(ii) will be reinstated for any future proposed financing of the Planned Additional Line.

(e) End of Term Ownership . At the end of the Term, (i) all Non-Separable Additions which Landlord elected not to pay for and make a part of the Leased Property pursuant to subsection (b) , above, will become the property of Landlord without compensation or reimbursement to Tenant; and (ii) all Separable Additions which Landlord elected not to pay for and make a part of the Leased Property pursuant to subsection (c) , above shall be removed or otherwise detached by Tenant from the Liquids Transportation System unless otherwise agreed by Landlord in writing, and Tenant shall repair any damage to the Leased Property caused by such removal. The transfer of all Non-Separable Additions which become the property of

Landlord at the end of the Term pursuant to subsection (i) above, (A) shall be made on an AS IS WHERE IS basis, without any express or implied warranties from Tenant other than special warranties of title (except as otherwise expressly agreed between the Parties at the time of such transfer), provided , however , that such conveyance shall in any event be made by Tenant to Landlord free and clear of (I) any Liens placed on the Leased Property by, through or under Tenant, and (II) any Other Recorded Documents executed by, through or under Tenant in violation of this Lease, and (B) shall be evidenced by Tenant’s execution of such deeds, bills of sale, or other appropriate documents conveying title to such Non-Separable Additions as Landlord and Tenant may reasonably agree, consistent with subsection (A) of this sentence.

10.2 Replacement of Parts . Tenant may, at its own cost and expense, remove in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, or as otherwise required or permitted by this Lease, any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use. Tenant will, at its own cost and expense, replace any such Parts as may be necessary to maintain the Leased Property in accordance with the standards for Tenant’s maintenance obligations as set forth in Section 7.1 of this Lease. All replacement Parts shall be in as good operating condition as, and shall have a value (including the residual value), utility and remaining useful life at least equal to the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in condition and repair required to be maintained by, and otherwise in compliance with, the terms of this Lease (nothing in this Lease, however, shall be construed to require Tenant to replace any Parts having a useful life adequate to operate the Leased Property through the end of the Term). All Parts at any time removed from any item or portion of the Leased Property shall remain the property of Landlord until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts which have been incorporated or installed in or attached to such item or portion of the Leased Property and which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated into or installed in or attached to any item or portion of the Leased Property, without further action by either Party (except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an emergency basis), (a) title to such replacement Part shall thereupon vest in Landlord, (b) such replacement Part shall become subject to this Lease and be deemed part of the Leased Property for all purposes to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Leased Property, and (c) title to the removed Part shall thereupon vest in Tenant AS IS WHERE IS , free and clear of all rights of Landlord, and shall no longer be deemed a part of the Leased Property.

Title to replacements and substitutions for Parts made under this Section 10.2 shall remain a part of the Leased Property.

LANDLORD WAIVES AND DISCLAIMS ALL STATUTORY AND CONTRACTUAL LIEN RIGHTS IN TENANT PROPERTY NOW OR HEREAFTER PLACED AT OR WITH THE LEASED PROPERTY. Landlord agrees to execute an agreement with Tenant or Tenant’s lender to evidence such waiver of Landlord’s Lien rights in Tenant Property and, following a default by Tenant under any Tenant mortgage, allow Tenant’s lender access to the Leased Property to seize and remove Tenant Property subject to the terms of such agreement, provided , that the form and substance of any such agreement is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, Tenant and Tenant’s lender (including in such agreement reasonable conditions and time periods within which such Tenant Property may be removed). Tenant shall have the right to remove Tenant Property at any time or times during the Term and for a period of thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term, without any obligation to pay Landlord holdover rent under Section 26.4 .

13.2 Sole Risk of Tenant . Tenant bears the sole risk of Loss for all of the Tenant Property, and if any of the Tenant Property is destroyed or damaged other than as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of a Landlord Party, no part of the destruction or damage shall be the responsibility of Landlord.

The term “negligence” as used in this Section 13.2 shall not include negligence imputed as a matter of law to Landlord solely by reason of Landlord’s failure to act in respect of matters which are or were the obligation of Tenant under this Lease or solely as a result of Landlord’s ownership of the Leased Property.

13.3 Tenant’s Ability to Grant Liens on Tenant Property.

Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the other from any and all liability for loss or damage caused by fire or any of the extended coverage casualties or any other casualty which shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the other party or any persons for whom such other party is responsible, provided , that this release shall be in force and effect only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such time as the respective party’s policies of property insurance shall contain a clause to the effect that this release shall not affect such policies or right of the releasing party to recover thereunder, and the release shall apply only to the extent of the releasing party’s insurance coverage. Any insurance policy held by Tenant or Landlord, to the extent that waiver is reasonably and customary for the policy in question, shall include a waiver of subrogation clause so long as the same is obtainable. Nothing herein shall be deemed an obligation on the part of Landlord to maintain any insurance and any insurance maintained by Landlord shall serve as excess coverage.

14.3 No Release from Liability . Except as provided in Section 14.2 , nothing in this Article XIV or Exhibit N shall be deemed to release either Party from liability for damages resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of such Party or from responsibility for repairs necessitated by such negligence or willful misconduct. By requiring insurance as provided herein, neither Landlord nor Tenant represents that coverage and limits will necessarily be adequate to protect Tenant or Landlord, and such coverage and limits shall not be deemed as a limitation of the liability of Tenant or Landlord under any indemnification provisions in this Lease. Failure of Landlord to demand such certificate or other evidence of full compliance with these insurance requirements or failure of Landlord to identify a deficiency from evidence that is provided shall not be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to maintain such insurance.

(b) Landlord’s breach of its covenants in this Article XXII (including Landlord’s obligation to take Corrective Action under Section 22.2(b)) ; provided , however , such Landlord’s indemnification obligation does not cover any Losses to the extent attributable to (i) a breach of this Lease by Tenant or any other Tenant Party, or (ii) the fraud, negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any other Tenant Party. Tenant’s and Tenant Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy, either at law, under statute or in equity, against Landlord for Landlord’s Environmental Liabilities, violations of, or liabilities under, Environmental Law by Landlord or any other Landlord Party or Releases of Hazardous Substances by, or Corrective Actions required of, Landlord or any other Landlord Party are the remedies in this Section 22.4 , except that Landlord’s failure to perform the Corrective Actions required by Landlord under Section 22.2(b) shall, if not cured within the notice and cure periods provided in Section 23.4(i) or such earlier date as such Corrective Action must be completed to comply with applicable Environmental Law (but subject to any pending Permitted Landlord Contests with respect to same), entitle Tenant to exercise its self-help remedies under Section 23.4 for so long as Landlord is not reasonably performing such Corrective Action and such Corrective Action remains incomplete.

22.5 Claims Procedure . In the case of any Losses asserted by an Indemnified Party under this Article XXII , such Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party and in any event within no less than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Loss; provided , that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not reduce the Indemnifying Party’s obligations to indemnify any Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent such failure adversely affects the Indemnifying Party’s rights, or materially compromises such Indemnifying Party’s ability, to defend such Losses or results in additional liability on such Indemnifying Party’s part. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole expense, acting through counsel selected by it (and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party), to participate in or to assume and control (if it promptly so elects upon notice of the Losses) the negotiation, litigation or settlement of any such Losses. Such Indemnified Party may (but shall not be obligated to) participate at its own expense and with its own counsel

in any proceeding conducted by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the foregoing, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall keep such Indemnified Party and its counsel reasonably informed of all proceedings and filings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Article XI and Tenant’s right to pursue Tax Challenges and Permitted Tenant Contests and Landlord’s right to pursue Permitted Landlord Contests, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any Losses if (a) Tenant is the Indemnifying Party, a Level I Tenant Default has occurred and is continuing, or, if Landlord is the Indemnifying Party, a Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx has occurred and is continuing, (b) the proceeding involves possible imposition of any criminal liability or penalty or unindemnified civil penalty on the Indemnified Party, or (c) the proceeding involves the granting of injunctive relief against the Indemnified Party not related to this Lease.

22.6 Survival . It is expressly understood and agreed that Tenant’s and Landlord’s obligations under this Article XXII shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

23.2 Landlord’s Remedies for a Tenant Event of Default . Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Tenant Event of Default, with or without notice or demand, except such notice as may be required by statute and cannot be waived by Tenant and such notice as is specifically required by the terms of this Lease (all other notices being hereby waived), Landlord shall be entitled to exercise, at its option, the following remedies, Landlord hereby waiving all other rights and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled at law or in equity:

(a) Landlord’s Remedies for a Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx . Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Level 1 Tenant Default only, Landlord shall have, with respect to each such Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx either, but not both, of the rights and remedies specified in subsection (i) and subsection (ii) , below.

(i) Option to Terminate the Lease . Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx may give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s intention to terminate this Lease as a result of such Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (except for the terms and provisions hereof which survive termination) on a date specified in such notice (which date shall be no sooner than ten (10) days after the date of the notice), in which case, upon the date therein specified, the Term and the estate hereby granted shall expire and terminate as if such date were the date hereinabove fixed for the expiration of the Term except the terms and provisions hereof which survive the Term. Upon such termination, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Leased Property to Landlord and Landlord may take possession of the same on the termination date without being deemed guilty in any manner of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, without resort to legal or judicial process, procedure or action. If Landlord so terminates this Lease, Landlord may, as full and complete damages for such Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, bring an action against Tenant for any or all of the following:

(A) Accrued and Unpaid Base Rent . All Base Rent accrued and unpaid to the termination date and not otherwise paid by Tenant; and

(B) Accrued and Unpaid Additional Rent . All Additional Rent accrued and unpaid to the termination date and not otherwise paid by Tenant (including Tenant’s indemnity obligations under Sections 21.1 and 22.3 with respect to matters or circumstances arising prior to the date of Lease termination, whether or not Landlord has asserted such indemnity claims prior to the date of Lease termination), but without duplication for amounts for which Landlord seeks damages under this Lease; and

(C) Failure to Surrender Leased Property . Losses resulting from Tenant’s failure to surrender the Leased Property as required by Section 18.1 , but without duplication for amounts for which Landlord seeks damages or indemnification under this Lease; and

(D) Collection Costs . All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing its remedies under this Section 23.2(a)(i) with respect to such Level 1 Tenant Default, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expert witness fees, costs of tests and analyses, travel and accommodation expenses, deposition and trial transcripts, copies and other similar costs and fees, paid or incurred by Landlord as a result of its exercise of remedies under this subsection (a)(i) with respect to such Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, regardless of whether or not legal proceedings are actually commenced, subject to Section 26.9 of this Lease; and

(E) Termination Damages . The amount, if any, by which (1) the unpaid Base Rent (as calculated below) payable under this Lease which would have been earned after termination for the balance of the Term (had this Lease not been terminated and without giving effect to any unexercised extension options), discounted to present value at the Discount Rate exceeds (2) the Fair Market Rent for such period, also discounted to present value at the Discount Rate. For purposes of calculating Base Rent which would have been earned after termination for the balance of the Term under (1) above, the Variable Rent component of Base Rents shall be calculated based on the average

Variable Rent payable during the one-year period prior to the termination of this Lease (and provided that if this Lease is terminated prior to the time when Variable Rent has been payable for a full year prior to such termination, such Variable Rent component shall be calculated based on the average Variable Rent payable during the entire period prior to the termination of this Lease, extrapolated to represent a full year).

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, the amount required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to Sections 23.2(a)(i)(A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) shall be limited as follows: The Inception Date Present Value of the amount paid by Tenant pursuant to Sections 23.2(a)(i)(A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) plus the Inception Date Present Value of the Aggregate Minimum Rent shall not in any event exceed $218,000,000. As used herein, (I) “ Aggregate Minimum Rent ” means the Minimum Rent paid by Tenant during the period beginning on the Effective Date and continuing through the date of termination of the Lease, (II) “ Inception Date Present Value ” of an amount means the present value of such amount as of the Effective Date, calculated using the Specified Discount Rate, and (III) “ Specified Discount Rate ” means twenty percent (20%).

In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that as of the Lease termination date specified in Landlord’s notice to Tenant such Level 1 Tenant Default has been cured, such termination notice shall be deemed to have been rescinded, this Lease shall remain in effect and Landlord shall only be entitled to Base Rent and Additional Rent which has accrued under the Lease under subsections (A) and (B) , above, and Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses under subsection (D) above.

(ii) Option to Exercise Remedies Other Than Lease Termination Upon a Level 1 Tenant Default . In the event that Landlord elects NOT to exercise its remedies under subsection (i) above with respect to a Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, and in lieu of its remedies under subsection (i) , above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Level 1 Tenant Default, Landlord may exercise any or all of its rights or remedies under subsection (b) , below, with respect to such Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx.

(b) Landlord’s Remedies for a Tenant Event of Default Other Than Termination Available for a Level 1 Tenant Default . Except as otherwise provided in Section 23.2(a) above with respect to the exclusivity of such remedies, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Tenant Event of Default, but only so long as either (x) such Tenant Event of Default does not constitute a Level 1 Tenant Default, or (y) such Tenant Event of Default does constitute a Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Landlord has elected not to pursue its termination rights as set forth in subsection (a)(i) , above, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, Tenant shall be entitled to remain in possession of the Leased Property hereunder and shall remain obligated and liable for Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and Landlord may exercise the following remedies, concurrently, successively, or in any combination (except NOT in combination with any of the remedies set forth in subsection (a)(i) , above, and excluding any other or additional remedies):

(vii) Observer Rights . Without limiting Landlord’s rights under Section 26.7 , Landlord may, at its own cost and expense, designate an individual (the “ Landlord Observer ”) to observe the operation and use of the Leased Property on a day-to-day

basis. Tenant shall take such actions as may be necessary to reasonably accommodate the Landlord Observer on-site at the LTS Land, including by (A) providing office space and supplies for the Landlord Observer, (B) providing full, accurate, and reasonably prompt answers to questions by the Landlord Observer about the Leased Property and the operation and use thereof, (C) responding in a full, accurate, and reasonably prompt way to information requests from the Landlord Observer concerning the Leased Property and the operation and use thereof, and (D) providing the Landlord Observer with reasonable access to the Leased Properties and records relating to the operation and use thereof; provided , however , that the Landlord Observer shall abide by Tenant’s reasonable rules, including those governing matters of health, safety and security.

If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rent on or prior to the Renewal Notice Date, Tenant may notify Landlord in writing on or prior to the Renewal Notice Date of its intent to exercise its Renewal Option subject to an acceptable determination of Fair Market Rent (such notice, a “ Fair Market Rent Determination Notice ”). If Tenant does not deliver the Fair Market Rent Determination Notice on or before the Renewal Notice Date, Tenant will be deemed to have decided not to exercise the Renewal Option and the Lease will expire at the end of the Initial Term. If Tenant delivers a Fair Market Rent Determination Notice to Landlord, then each of Landlord and Tenant shall submit to the other a notice (each, a “ Designation Notice ”) no sooner than fifteen (15) Business Days after

Tenant’s delivery of such Fair Market Rent Determination Notice and no later than thirty (30) Business Days after Tenant’s delivery of such Fair Market Determination Notice, (i) its good faith estimate of the Fair Market Rent during the Renewal Term (collectively referred to as the “ Estimates ”), and (ii) the name of the Independent Appraiser appointed by it to determine which of the two (2) Estimates most closely reflects the Fair Market Rent for the Leased Property during the Renewal Term, and Fair Market Rent shall be determined as follows:

(i) If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an Independent Appraiser within the fifteen (15) Business Day period referred to above, the Independent Appraiser appointed by the other Party shall be the sole Independent Appraiser for the purposes hereof and shall determine which of the two (2) Estimates most closely reflects the Fair Market Rent within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the Designation Notice appointing such Independent Appraiser, and the Estimate so chosen shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent for the Leased Property during the Renewal Term.

(ii) If both Landlord and Tenant appoint an Independent Appraiser within the fifteen (15) Business Day period referred to above, Landlord’s and Tenant’s Independent Appraisers shall work together in good faith to agree upon which of the two (2) Estimates most closely reflects the Fair Market Rent for the Leased Property within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the later of the two Designation Notices appointing such Independent Appraisers. The Estimate chosen by both such Independent Appraisers shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent for the Leased Property during the Renewal Term.

(iii) If the two (2) Independent Appraisers have not both agreed upon which of the two (2) Estimates most closely reflects the Fair Market Rent by midnight on the date which is twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the later of the two Designation Notices appointing such Independent Appraisers, then, within ten (10) Business Days after the expiration of such twenty (20) Business Day period, the two (2) Independent Appraisers shall select a third Independent Appraiser. Once the third Independent Appraiser has been selected, then, as soon thereafter as practicable but in any case within fifteen (15) Business Days, the third Independent Appraiser shall make its determination of which of the two (2) Estimates most closely reflects the Fair Market Rent and such Estimate shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent for the Leased Property during the Renewal Term. If the two (2) Independent Appraisers are unable to agree upon a third Independent Appraiser within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, the third Independent Appraiser shall be appointed as soon as possible by the American Arbitration Association (or any successor organization, or if no successor organization shall then exist, by a court of competent jurisdiction residing in Xxxxxx County, Texas, or such other jurisdiction as Landlord and Tenant mutually agree), subject to the qualification requirements set out herein. In the event of the failure, refusal or inability of any Independent Appraiser to act, a new Independent Appraiser shall be appointed in its stead, which appointment shall be made in the same manner as set forth above for the appointment of such resigning Independent Appraiser.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing procedures of this Section 25.1(c) , Landlord and Tenant may terminate the foregoing procedures to determine the Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Term, if at any time during the process, they agree in writing as to what constitutes the Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Term and such determination shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent for the Leased Property during the Renewal Term.

(v) The Parties shall share equally in the costs of the third Independent Appraiser. The fees of any appraiser, counsel or experts engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant shall be borne by the Party retaining the appraiser, counsel or expert.

(d) Tenant Right to Rescind Upon Final Determination of Fair Market Rent . If Fair Market Rent is determined pursuant to subsection (c) above, then on or before the date which is thirty (30) days following the determination of the Fair Market Rent pursuant to subsection (c) above, Tenant shall elect, by written notice to Landlord, whether to (i) rescind Tenant’s election to extend the Lease for the Renewal Term, in which case Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to extend the Lease for the Renewal Term (although to the extent that Tenant’s rescission notice is given after the date which would otherwise have been the commencement date of the Renewal Term, the Lease shall be deemed to have been extended for such period and Tenant’s possession during such period shall not constitute a default or “holding over” after the Term), or (ii) renew the Lease for the Renewal Term for the Fair Market Rent as so determined, in which case during the Renewal Term all of the terms and conditions of this Lease will continue in full force and effect, with Base Rent being determined as set forth in subsection (c) above. Any failure of the Parties to determine Fair Market Rent within the timeframes set forth in this Section 25.1 shall not invalidate any of Tenant’s rights under this subsection (d) or any other provision of this Section 25.1 . If Tenant fails to timely notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s decision to rescind its extension notice or to renew the Lease as provided in this subsection (d) , Tenant will be deemed to have elected to rescind its election to extend the Lease for the Renewal Term as provided in subsection (i) above. Upon expiration of the Term due to failure of Tenant to extend the Lease for the Renewal Term or actual or deemed rescission by Tenant of its election to so extend for the Renewal Term, (A) Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) market the Leased Property for sale or lease, subject in each case to Sections 25.3 and 25.4 hereof, and (B) the Lease shall terminate except the provisions hereof which survive termination, including Sections 25.3 and 25.4 hereof.

(e) Payment of Renewal Term Base Rent Prior to Final Determination of Fair Market Rent . In the event the procedures outlined in subsections (c) and (d) , above, are not completed and, therefore, the Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Term is not determined as of the end of the Initial Term, then Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the Leased Property during the Renewal Term based on the average of the Estimates provided by Landlord’s Independent Appraiser and Tenant’s Independent Appraiser. If it is thereafter determined that the Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Term is an amount different than the amount paid by Tenant, the Fair Market Rent as so determined shall be effective from the date of commencement of the Renewal Term, and Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, shall pay to the other Party, within twenty (20) Business Days after the determination of such Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Term, the difference between the rent payable based upon the Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Term as determined in accordance with the foregoing from the commencement date of the Renewal Term

and the total Base Rent actually paid to the date of such payment. If the amount due by Landlord to Tenant or Tenant to Landlord, as the case may be, under the foregoing sentence is not paid within such twenty (20) Business Day period, such amount shall thereafter bear interest from the Due Date for Other Additional Rent (with respect to payments by Tenant) or ten (10) Business Days following written demand from Tenant to Landlord (with respect to payments by Landlord) at a rate equal to the Default Interest Rate.

25.2 Tenant as Operator After Term . If Landlord elects by written notice to Tenant given no later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Term, then following the termination of this Lease, Tenant or its Affiliate will continue to operate the Leased Property, as an operator and not as a tenant, pursuant to the O&M Agreement for a period of up to two (2) years following the end of the Term, as specified in the notice from Landlord (and subject to the termination rights provided in the O&M Agreement). In such event, Tenant or its Affiliate will have the right to use the Leased Property during such period pursuant to an agreement to be negotiated at the time or pursuant to tariffs in effect during such period, and Tenant shall exercise such right by delivering written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of Landlord’s election notice to Tenant under this Section 25.2 . Landlord will pay Tenant, as operator, not as Tenant, a monthly services fee specified in the O&M Agreement. Upon timely written request from Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, and as provided in this Section 25.2 , Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver the O&M Agreement and pay or cause to be paid the monthly services fee in connection therewith.

25.3 Right of First Refusal With Respect to the Transfer of All of the Leased Property .

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Section 25.3 to the contrary, (i) Landlord shall not be permitted to consummate any Transfer of all or any portion of its right, title and interest in and to the Leased Property and in and under this Lease during the Term unless such Transfer is a Permitted Sale even if Tenant does not elect to exercise its right of first refusal under this Section 25.3 with respect to such Transfer, (ii) the

restrictions on Transfers by Landlord under Section 17.5 shall not be applicable to any Transfer of Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to the Leased Property and in and under this Lease after the Term, although the prohibition on partial Transfers as set forth in subsection (a) , above, shall remain applicable during the remaining ROFR Transfer Period, and (iii) this Section 25.3 shall not be applicable, and Landlord shall not be required to comply with this Section 25.3 with respect to a proposed Transfer by Landlord of all or any portion of its right, title and interest in and to the Leased Property and in and under this Lease after the Term if this Lease has been terminated by Landlord pursuant to Section 23.2(a)(i) as a result of a Level 1 Tenant Default or if a Level 1 Tenant Default has occurred and is continuing.

(iv) such other documents and information as Tenant may reasonably request in order to clarify any terms of the offer with respect to which Tenant has reasonable questions; and

(v) during the Term, such other documents and information as Tenant may reasonably require to evidence that the proposed Transfer will qualify as a Permitted Sale hereunder.

(d) ROFR Asset Offer . The delivery of the ROFR Asset Sale Notice constitutes an offer (an “ ROFR Asset Offer ”) by Landlord to sell the Leased Property to Tenant in accordance with the following terms set forth in this Section 25.3 .

(e) Tenant Election . Tenant will have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of its receipt of the ROFR Asset Offer (the “ ROFR Asset Election Period ”) to elect to acquire the Leased Property pursuant to the purchase contract included in the Third Party Asset Offer.

If the terms of such Transfer are modified pursuant to a Material Amendment or such Transfer is not completed by the ROFR Asset Transfer Deadline, then Tenant shall again have the opportunity to be the buyer under any Third Party Asset Offer, and Landlord must send Tenant a new ROFR Asset Sale Notice and comply again with this Section 25.3 upon receipt of any Third Party Asset Offer. At no time during the Term (i) may Landlord elect to Transfer all or any portion of the Landlord Interests or any interest therein except pursuant to a Permitted Sale, whether or not Tenant has elected or rejected the ROFR Asset Offer, nor (ii) may any direct or indirect owner of any Landlord Equity Interest (which direct or indirect ownership interest in such Landlord Equity Interest constitutes such owner’s sole material asset) Transfer such direct or indirect ownership interest if the result of such Transfer would be that the Landlord Majority Owner would be a different Person (unless, with respect to such proposed Transfer, Tenant is afforded a right of first refusal substantially consistent with the right of first refusal in favor of Tenant under this Section 25.3 with respect to proposed Transfers of the Leased Property), and in either case, any such Transfer by Landlord in violation of this Section 25.3 or Section 17.5 shall be void ab initio .

Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement as to the Fair Market Value of the Non-Cash Consideration as of the date of the ROFR Asset Offer (the “ Non-Cash Consideration Value ”). If Landlord and Tenant do not agree within ten (10) Business Days following the end of the ROFR Asset Election Period as to the deemed Non-Cash Consideration Value, then each of Landlord and Tenant shall submit to the other a notice within fifteen (15) Business Days following the end of the ROFR Asset Election Period, (A) its good faith estimate of the Non-Cash Consideration Value (collectively referred to as the “ FMV Estimates ”), and (B) the name of the Independent Appraiser appointed by it to determine which of the two (2) FMV Estimates most closely reflects the Fair Market Value of the Non-Cash Consideration, and Fair Market Value shall be determined as follows:

Except as and to the extent this Lease provides that certain rights or remedies are limited or exclusive, no right or remedy, whether exercised by a Party or not, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any other right or remedy and any two (2) or more or all of such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time, but without duplication of recovery for any such matter.

26.14 Interpretation .

Form of Landlord Guaranty

GUARANTY

[Landlord Lease Guaranty]

This GUARANTY (this “ Guaranty ”) is executed and delivered as of [ _________] , 2015, by CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“ Guarantor ”), whose address is 0000 Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx Xxxx, XX 00000, in favor of Energy XXI GIGS Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Tenant ”).

RECITALS:

A. Grand Isle Corridor, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“ Landlord ”), and Tenant are party to that certain Lease dated as of the date hereof (the “ Lease ”).

B. In order to induce Tenant to enter into the Lease, Guarantor agreed to execute and deliver to Tenant this Guaranty. Guarantor acknowledges that Tenant would not have entered into the Lease without the execution and delivery by Guarantor of this Guaranty.

AGREEMENT:

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Guarantor, Guarantor hereby agrees in favor of Tenant (and Tenant’s successors and assigns) as follows:

1. Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (taking into account any applicable cure periods under the Lease), whether by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations, liabilities and covenants, whether now in existence or hereafter arising, of Landlord to Tenant, and arising under the Lease (collectively, the “ Obligations ”). Guarantor hereby agrees to pay and/or perform punctually, upon written demand by Tenant, each such Obligation which is not paid or performed as and when due and payable by Landlord (taking into account any applicable cure periods under the Lease), in like manner as such amount is due from Landlord. For purposes hereof, the Obligations shall be performed or shall be due and payable when the applicable Obligation must be performed or paid under the terms of the Lease, notwithstanding the fact that the collection or enforcement thereof as against Landlord may be stayed or enjoined under Title 11 of the United States Code or similar applicable law. This Guaranty is one of payment and not of collection.

2. Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or the Lease, or by any other circumstance relating to the Obligations or the Lease which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense of a guarantor or surety. Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any and all suretyship defenses, defenses that could be asserted by Landlord (except payment or performance) and all other defenses that would otherwise be available to Guarantor. All payments by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made without setoff. Tenant shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the

Obligations in the event that Landlord becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of Tenant so to file shall not affect Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty. Guarantor irrevocably waives any right to require Tenant to pursue any other remedy in Tenant’s power whatsoever, whether against Landlord or any other obligor principally or secondarily obligated with respect to the Obligations. Guarantor irrevocably waives any defense arising by reason of any disability, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Landlord. In the event that any payment in respect of any Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, Guarantor shall remain liable under this Guaranty in respect of such Obligations as if such payment had not been made.

3. Guarantor agrees that Tenant may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of Guarantor, extend the time, payment, or performance of any of the Obligations, and may also make any agreement with Landlord or with any other party to or person liable for any of the Obligations, or interested therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, waiver, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any amendment or modification of the terms thereof or of the Lease or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant or any such other party or person, without in any way impairing, releasing or affecting the liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

4. Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may acquire under or in connection with this Guaranty by way of subrogation until all of the Obligations to Tenant shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, or performed in its entirety. If, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Guarantor receives any amount by way of subrogation, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Tenant and shall forthwith be paid to Tenant to be credited and applied first, to any matured Obligations, and then, to any unmatured Obligations as they become due.

5. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon Guarantor, its successors and assigns until all of the Obligations have been satisfied in full and the Lease shall have been terminated or fully performed. This Guaranty may not be modified, discharged or terminated orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Tenant and Guarantor. This is a continuing Guaranty relating to all Obligations, including any arising during any holdover term or arising under transactions renewing or extending the term of the Lease, changing the terms of any Obligations, or creating new or additional Obligations after prior Obligations have in whole or in part been satisfied, regardless of any lapse of time. If any of the present or future Obligations are guaranteed by persons, partnerships, corporations or other entities in addition to Guarantor, the death, release or discharge, in whole or in part, or the bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of one or more of such guarantors shall not discharge or affect the liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be additional to, and not in substitution for, any security or other guarantee or indemnity at any time existing in respect of Landlord’s Obligations. Guarantor acknowledges that Tenant would not have entered into the Lease without the execution and delivery of this Guaranty and that Tenant does not have the right to terminate the Lease if Guarantor terminates the Guaranty. Therefore, in accordance with Louisiana Civil Code article 3061, Guarantor waives any right to terminate this Guaranty.

6. No failure on the part of Tenant to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Tenant of any right, remedy or power under this Guaranty preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power under this Guaranty. Each and every right, remedy and power granted to Tenant under this Guaranty or allowed it by law or by the Lease or any other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by Tenant from time to time.

7. Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any obligation or liability to which it may apply, and waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any such obligation or liability, suit or the taking of other action by Tenant against, and all other notices whatsoever to, Landlord, Guarantor or others.

8. Tenant may at any time and from time to time without notice to or consent of Guarantor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder: (a) take or fail to take any action of any kind in respect of any security for any Obligation of Landlord to Tenant, (b) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Landlord or others, (c) compromise or subordinate any Obligation of Landlord to Tenant including any security therefor, (d) consent to the assignment by Landlord of its interest in the Lease, or (e) consent to any other matter or thing under or relating to the Lease. Guarantor waives trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim, involving any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with the Guaranty and by executing the Lease Tenant also waives such trial by jury. Guarantor agrees to reimburse Tenant for the costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by reason of Tenant having to enforce this Guaranty.

9. Guarantor represents and warrants to Tenant that (a) the Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Landlord and is a legal, valid and binding instrument enforceable against Landlord in accordance with its terms, and (b) this Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Guarantor and is a legal, valid and binding instrument enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

10. Guarantor may not assign its rights nor delegate its obligations under this Guaranty, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Tenant, which consent may be withheld by Tenant in its sole and absolute discretion, and any purported assignment or delegation absent such consent is void. Subject to Section 12 below, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding (a) any assignment or transfer by Landlord of its interest in the Lease (in which case this Guaranty shall apply, from and after such assignment or transfer, to all of the obligations, liabilities and covenants of the assignee or transferee under the Lease), or (b) any assignment or transfer by Tenant of its interest in the Lease in accordance with the terms of the Lease (in which case Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Tenant's assignee or transferee), in each case irrespective of whether Guarantor has notice of or consents to any such assignment or transfer.

11. Guarantor acknowledges its address as set forth above and will notify Tenant of any changes thereto.

12. Reference is made to (a) Sections 15.1(d) and 16.2(d) of the Lease pursuant to which Guarantor shall be released from certain obligations under this Guaranty as and to the extent provided therein and (b) Sections 17.5(b) and 17.5(c) of the Lease for a statement of the terms and conditions upon which Guarantor will be released from its obligations under this Guaranty with respect to Obligations arising or accruing from and after the date of, and in connection with, a “Permitted Sale” (as such term is defined in the Lease) as and to the extent provided therein or a “Permitted Equity Transfer (as such term is defined in the Lease) as and to the extent provided therein, which provisions are hereby incorporated into this Guaranty by reference.

GIC and EXXI are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the “ Parties” or individually as a “ Party ”.

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS , reference is hereby made to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated June 22, 2015, executed by and between Energy XXI USA, Inc., as seller, and GIC, as buyer (the “ Purchase and Sale Agreement ”), pursuant to which GIC acquired certain lands and facilities including an oil pipeline system that is a part of the Grand Isle Gathering System depicted on Exhibit “A” attached hereto, and insofar as the system is connected to the Platforms (defined below), said system is hereafter referred to as “ GIGS ”.

WHEREAS , reference is made to that certain Lease dated July 1, 2015, executed by and between Energy XXI GIGS Services, LLC (“ EXXI GIGS Services ”), as tenant, and GIC, as landlord (the “ Lease ”), pursuant to which GIC leased certain lands and facilities acquired by GIC under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to EXXI GIGS Services.

WHEREAS , EXXI is the owner of certain offshore platforms to which GIGS is currently connected each of which are identified on Exhibit “B” hereto (each a “ Platform ” and collectively the “ Platforms ”);

WHEREAS , GIGS is connected to the Platforms at certain points (the “ Connection Points ”) which are identified on Exhibit “C” hereto;

WHEREAS , in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Lease, EXXI desires to continue to use the Connection Points and GIGS for the transportation of petroleum products from its Platforms, and GIC desires to use the Connection Points and Platforms for the operation, maintenance, repair, inspection, replacement or removal of all or any part of GIGS;

WHEREAS , the Parties intend for this Agreement to evidence the authorized existence of the Connection Points and grant to GIC access to the Platforms as necessary for the purposes stated herein.

NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of GIC’s execution of the the premises, the mutual benefits derived therefrom, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by EXXI and GIC, the Parties agree as follows:

1.	Transportation, measurement, metering, and other activities regarding the movement of liquids or gases through the Connection Points shall be governed by separate agreement(s) of the Parties, their successors and assigns, as may be necessary.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and, in particular, Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement, GIC shall have the non-exclusive right to access the Platforms, including, but not limited to, access to the common areas of the Platforms, the walkways, docking facilities, platform crane and helicopter pads as necessary for the continued operation, maintenance, repair, inspection, removal or replacement of GIGS.

The Platforms shall be inspected, maintained and operated by EXXI, at EXXI’s cost and expense, in accordance with industry practices, applicable API Standards, the requirements set forth in the latest edition of the Department of Transportation Pipeline Safety Regulations, and with all other applicable governmental rules and regulations. During the term of the Lease, GIGS shall be inspected, maintained and operated by EXXI or its Affiliates, at EXXI’s or its Affiliates’ cost and expense, in accordance with prudent pipeline operating practices, applicable API Standards, the requirements set forth in the latest edition of the Department of Transportation Pipeline Safety Regulations, and with all other applicable governmental rules and regulations, which responsibility shall be assumed by GIC upon the expiration or termination of the Lease. The point at which responsibility passes from one Party to the other is at the applicable Connection Point identified on Exhibit “C” with responsibility for the Platform side belonging to EXXI, and responsibility for the GIGS side belonging to GIC, as the case may be. Any access by GIC pursuant to Section 2 and any activities undertaken by GIC, or by any GIC Boarding Party, on the Platforms shall likewise be in accordance with the practices, standards, requirements, and governmental rules and regulations described in this Section 3. Unless such access is for the purpose of remedying a default by EXXI or its Affiliates under the Lease or this Agreement, all such access and activities by any GIC Boarding Party shall be at GIC’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, should either Party perform work on behalf of the other Party, it shall perform such work as an independent contractor and shall not be deemed to be an agent or employee of the other.

GIC acknowledges that during any visit to the Platforms (i) GIC’s employees, agents, Affiliates, tenants, lessees, contractors, or sub-contractors (each such party, as applicable, the “ GIC Boarding Party ” or the “ GIC Boarding Parties ”) will be required to be escorted by authorized EXXI personnel, and (ii) the GIC Boarding Party will be required to comply with all applicable government regulations, as well as any and all rules, regulations, safety standards and procedures of EXXI. GIC agrees that any inspection or visit to the Platforms will be performed in a prudent, lawful and safe manner and will not interfere with EXXI’s operations. GIC acknowledges that its entry upon the Platforms will at all times be subject to considerations of safety and security.

5.	GIC agrees that it will authorize only the GIC Boarding Parties to enter upon the Platforms. GIC shall be solely responsible for all actions of its employees, agents, Affiliates, tenants, lessees, contractors, or sub-contractors.

6.	GIC agrees to contact Xxxxx Xxxxxxx at (000) 000-0000, or such other representative which EXXI may designate, within a reasonable amount of time, and, except in the case of an

emergency, in no event in less than five (5) days, prior to boarding a Platform in connection with the rights described herein.

GIC SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS EXXI AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, LOSS, DAMAGE, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES OF WHATSOEVER NATURE, INCLUDING COURT COSTS AND COUNSEL FEES, GROWING OUT OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH OF PERSONS WHOMSOEVER, OR LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY WHATSOEVER, WHERE SUCH PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, LOSS, DESTRUCTION, OR DAMAGE ARISES IN CONNECTION WITH OR INCIDENT TO GIC’S BOARDING OF THE PLATFORMS OR USE OF THE PLATFORMS, UNLESS SUCH LOSS, DAMAGE, CLAIM, DEMAND, COST OR EXPENSE IS CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF EXXI, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS AND THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS.

EXXI SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS GIC AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, LOSS, DAMAGE, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES OF WHATSOEVER NATURE, INCLUDING COURT COSTS AND COUNSEL FEES, GROWING OUT OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH OF PERSONS WHOMSOEVER, OR LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY WHATSOEVER, WHERE SUCH PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH LOSS, DESTRUCTION, OR DAMAGE ARISES IN CONNECTION WITH OR INCIDENT TO EXXI’S OPERATION OF THE PLATFORMS, UNLESS SUCH LOSS, DAMAGE, CLAIM, DEMAND, COST OR EXPENSE IS CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF GIC, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS AND THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS.

THE INDEMNIFICATION AND ASSUMPTION PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN EXPRESSLY NEGOTIATED IN EVERY DETAIL, ARE INTENDED TO BE GIVEN FULL AND LITERAL EFFECT, AND SHALL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, CLAIMS JUDGMENTS, LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DAMAGES IN QUESTION ARISE OR AROSE SOLELY OR IN PART FROM THE GROSS, ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER FAULT OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY.

11.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and any successor in interest to GIC, with respect to any portion of the GIGS, or to EXXI, with respect to any portion of the Platforms, shall be deemed to have acquired its interests subject to the terms of this Agreement, and the rights of the Parties hereunder shall not be terminated, altered, defeased or restricted by virtue of the sale or other disposition of any Platform or GIGS. Neither Party shall assign this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however , that no such written consent shall be required for (i) assignment to a parent or Affiliate of either Party or (ii) to a successor to either Party due to a sale whereby, (a) with respect to GIC, such successor party purchases all of GIGS, or (b) with respect to EXXI, such successor party purchases all of the Platforms. Except as otherwise provided herein, any liability or obligation of the assignor for events occurring after the date of an assignment in accordance with this Section 11 shall terminate upon the date of such assignment. Any attempt to assign this Agreement in violation of this Section 11 shall be null and void ab initio. The Parties agree that this agreement shall be filed in the appropriate records of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the appropriate parishes in the State of Louisiana in order to notify any successor or assign of the Parties or any party examining title or ownership of the Platforms or GIGS of the continuing rights, duties and obligations of the Parties and their successors and assigns.

14.

Tenant further acknowledges and confirms that (a) if (i) no Lender as of the date of such Equity Pledge Transfer was a Disqualified Person at the time it became a Lender, and (ii) the Equity Purchaser with respect to such Equity Pledge Transfer is wholly owned by the Lenders, no Beneficial Owner of such Equity Purchaser shall be deemed to be a Disqualified Person on the date of such Equity Pledge Transfer and continuing for so long thereafter as no such Lender Transfers any of its Landlord Equity Interest to any Person that was not a Lender on the date of such Equity Pledge Transfer, and (b) the requirements of Section 27.1(a) (and Section 17.5(c)(i)(A)’s cross-reference to Section 27.1(a) ) of the Lease shall not apply to an Equity Pledge Transfer, provided, however, that the requirements of Section 27.1(a) (and Section 17.5(c)(i)(A)’s cross-reference to Section 27.1(a) ) shall be applicable with respect to any subsequent Transfer of an Equity Investor Interest. The Lease shall continue in full force and effect following any such Equity Pledge Transfer, and except as set forth in this Section 3.4 , Tenant shall not be deemed to have waived, and shall be entitled to enforce, any and all of its rights and remedies under the Lease with respect to such Equity Pledge Transfer and any subsequent occurrence or event covered by Sections 17.5(a)(iv ) or Section 17.5(c ) of the Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to this Section 3.4 , the parties hereby acknowledge their intent that each transferee of an Equity Investor Interest that was the subject of an Equity Pledge Transfer shall be bound by (A) this Agreement including, without limitation, the full and complete subordination to the Lease and the rights, title and interests of the Tenant under the Lease as provided herein, and (B) the Lease. For purposes of

Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that neither Secured Party’s nor any Lender’s consent shall be required for any waiver by Landlord of any Tenant Event of Default other than (i) a Level 1 Tenant Default, or (ii) any other Tenant Event of Default that remains uncured more than ninety (90) days after occurrence of such Tenant Event of Default.

4.4. Lender Consents . Secured Party shall promptly respond to any request by Landlord or Tenant concerning this Agreement, the Lease or the Leased Property.

The parties hereto agree that it shall not be unreasonable for Secured Party or a Lender to withhold

its consent to any such request in the event that Secured Party or such Lender provides a reasonably detailed explanation for Secured Party’s or such Lender’s good faith reasonable belief that providing such consent would result in (A) a material adverse effect on (I) the ability of Landlord to perform its monetary or other material obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (II) the value of the Leased Property and the Lease taken as a whole, or (B) a material increase in Landlord’s obligations under the Lease.

Form of Tenant Guaranty

GUARANTY

[Tenant Lease Guaranty]

This GUARANTY (this “ Guaranty ”) is executed and delivered as of [_______], 2015, by Energy XXI Ltd, a Bermuda company (“ Guarantor ”), whose address is 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, in favor of Grand Isle Corridor, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“ Landlord ”).

RECITALS:

A. Energy XXI GIGS Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Tenant ”), and Landlord are party to that certain Lease dated as of the date hereof (the “ Lease ”).

B. In order to induce Landlord to enter into the Lease, Guarantor agreed to execute and deliver to Landlord this Guaranty. Guarantor acknowledges that Landlord would not have entered into the Lease without the execution and delivery by Guarantor of this Guaranty.

AGREEMENT:

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Guarantor, Guarantor hereby agrees in favor of Landlord (and Landlord’s successors and assigns) as follows:

1. Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (taking into account any applicable cure periods under the Lease), whether by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations, liabilities and covenants, whether now in existence or hereafter arising, of Tenant to Landlord, and arising under the Lease, including without limitation all amounts due to Landlord as rent or otherwise under the Lease (collectively, the “ Obligations ”). Guarantor hereby agrees to pay and/or perform punctually, upon written demand by Landlord, each such Obligation which is not paid or performed as and when due and payable by Tenant (taking into account any applicable cure periods under the Lease), in like manner as such amount is due from Tenant. For purposes hereof, the Obligations shall be performed or shall be due and payable when the applicable Obligation must be performed or paid under the terms of the Lease, notwithstanding the fact that the collection or enforcement thereof as against Tenant may be stayed or enjoined under Title 11 of the United States Code or similar applicable law. This Guaranty is one of payment and not of collection. To the extent Guarantor’s performance of any of the Obligations requires regulatory approval or qualification of the Guarantor to perform such Obligations, pursuant to Section 11.1(d) of the Lease, Landlord agrees to cooperate to facilitate such regulatory approval or qualification of Guarantor.

otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense of a guarantor or surety. Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any and all suretyship defenses, defenses that could be asserted by Tenant (except payment or performance) and all other defenses that would otherwise be available to Guarantor. All payments by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made without setoff. Landlord shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that Tenant becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of Landlord so to file shall not affect Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty. Guarantor irrevocably waives any right to require Landlord to pursue any other remedy in Landlord’s power whatsoever, whether against Tenant or any other obligor principally or secondarily obligated with respect to the Obligations. Guarantor irrevocably waives any defense arising by reason of any disability, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Tenant. In the event that any payment in respect of any Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, Guarantor shall remain liable under this Guaranty in respect of such Obligations as if such payment had not been made.

3. Guarantor agrees that Landlord may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of Guarantor, extend the time, payment, or performance of any of the Obligations, and may also make any agreement with Tenant or with any other party to or person liable for any of the Obligations, or interested therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, waiver, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any amendment or modification of the terms thereof or of the Lease or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant or any such other party or person, without in any way impairing, releasing or affecting the liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

4. Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may acquire under or in connection with this Guaranty by way of subrogation until all of the Obligations to Landlord shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, or performed in its entirety. If, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Guarantor receives any amount by way of subrogation, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and shall forthwith be paid to Landlord to be credited and applied first, to any matured Obligations, and then, to any unmatured Obligations as they become due.

5. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon Guarantor, its successors and assigns until all of the Obligations have been satisfied in full and the Lease shall have been terminated or fully performed. This Guaranty may not be modified, discharged or terminated orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Landlord and Guarantor. This is a continuing Guaranty relating to all Obligations, including any arising during any holdover term or arising under transactions renewing or extending the term of the Lease, changing the terms of any Obligations, or creating new or additional Obligations after prior Obligations have in whole or in part been satisfied, regardless of any lapse of time. If any of the present or future Obligations are guaranteed by persons, partnerships, corporations or other entities in addition to Guarantor, the death, release or discharge, in whole or in part, or the bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of one or more of such guarantors shall not discharge or affect the liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be additional to, and not in substitution for, any security or other guarantee or indemnity at any time existing in respect of Tenant’s Obligations. Guarantor acknowledges that Landlord would not have entered into the Lease without the execution and delivery of this Guaranty and

that Landlord does not have the right to terminate the Lease if Guarantor terminates the Guaranty. Therefore, in accordance with Louisiana Civil Code article 3061, Guarantor waives any right to terminate this Guaranty.

6. No failure on the part of Landlord to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Landlord of any right, remedy or power under this Guaranty preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power under this Guaranty. Each and every right, remedy and power granted to Landlord under this Guaranty or allowed it by law or by the Lease or any other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by Landlord from time to time.

7. Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any obligation or liability to which it may apply, and waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any such obligation or liability, suit or the taking of other action by Landlord against, and all other notices whatsoever to, Tenant, Guarantor or others.

8. Landlord may at any time and from time to time without notice to or consent of Guarantor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder: (a) take or fail to take any action of any kind in respect of any security for any Obligation of Tenant to Landlord, (b) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Tenant or others, (c) compromise or subordinate any Obligation of Tenant to Landlord including any security therefor, (d) consent to the assignment by Tenant of its interest in the Lease, or (e) consent to any other matter or thing under or relating to the Lease. Guarantor waives trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim, involving any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with the Guaranty and by executing the Lease Landlord also waives such trial by jury. Guarantor agrees to reimburse Landlord for the costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by reason of Landlord having to enforce this Guaranty.

9. Guarantor represents and warrants to Landlord that (a) the Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Tenant and is a legal, valid and binding instrument enforceable against Tenant in accordance with its terms, and (b) this Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Guarantor and is a legal, valid and binding instrument enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

10. Guarantor may not assign its rights nor delegate its obligations under this Guaranty, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, and any purported assignment or delegation absent such consent is void. Subject to Section 12 below, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding (a) any assignment or transfer by Tenant of its interest in the Lease (in which case this Guaranty shall apply, from and after such assignment or transfer, to all of the obligations, liabilities and covenants of the assignee or transferee under the Lease), or (b) any assignment or transfer by Landlord of its interest in the Lease in accordance with the terms of the Lease (in which case Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Landlord's assignee or transferee), in each case irrespective of whether Guarantor has notice of or consents to any such assignment or transfer.

11. Guarantor acknowledges its address as set forth above and will notify Landlord of any changes thereto.

12. Reference is made to (a) Sections 15.1(d) and 16.2(d) of the Lease pursuant to which Guarantor shall be released from certain obligations under this Guaranty as and to the extent provided therein, (b) Section 17.3 of the Lease pursuant to which Guarantor has certain rights to notice of and an opportunity to cure a “Tenant Event of Default” (as such term is defined in the Lease) as and to the extent provided therein, (c) Section 17.4 of the Lease pursuant to which Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Guaranty with respect to matters arising or accruing from and after the date of a “Permitted Lease Assignment” (as such term is defined in the Lease) as and to the extent provided therein, and (d) Section 17.1(f ) of the Lease pursuant to which Guarantor's obligations shall not be increased in connection with an amendment to the Lease which results in an increase of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, and which amendment or modification is made without Tenant’s consent, all of which provisions are hereby incorporated into this Guaranty by reference.

13. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. GUARANTOR AND TENANT JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY AGREE TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, OVER ANY DISPUTES ARISING OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY. GUARANTOR DESIGNATES ENERGY XXI SERVICES, LLC AS ITS AGENT TO RECEIVE ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS RELATED TO THIS GUARANTY.

XXXXX OF MORTGAGE AND SECURITY INTEREST

Seller and Mortgagee are parties to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of June 22, 2015 (the “Agreement”) and certain transfers, bills of sale, and other documents executed pursuant to the Agreement dated as of June 30, 2015 (the “Related Agreements”). Pursuant to the Agreement and the Related Agreements, Seller has transferred the Mortgaged Property (described below) to Mortgagee. Mortgagee and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease

dated as of June 30, 2015 pursuant to which Mortgagee has leased the Mortgaged Property to Tenant, an affiliate of Seller (the “Lease”). It is the intent of Mortgagor and Mortgagee that the effect of the Agreement and the Related Agreements is to effect a transfer of the Mortgaged Property from Seller to Mortgagee. It is the intent of Mortgagor and Mortgagee that the effect of the Lease is to constitute a true lease of the Mortgaged Property to Tenant and that Mortgagee remains owner of the Mortgaged Property.

Mortgagor and Mortgagee acknowledge that the rights of Mortgagee may be impaired, if, notwithstanding the express intention of Mortgagor and Mortgagee, the transactions described in and evidenced by the Agreement, the Related Agreements, and the Lease are held by a court not to be a valid transfer and conveyance to the Mortgagee or a true lease to Tenant, and are instead recharacterized as a financing, a simulation, a conditional sale, a financed lease, or otherwise contrary to the express intention of Mortgagor and Mortgagee (such a court holding referred to herein as a “Recharacterization Event”).

Nevertheless, to the extent that Seller might be deemed to have retained any interest in the Mortgaged Property or that Tenant might be deemed to have acquired any interest (other than as lessee under a true lease) in the Mortgaged Property, in order to secure payment and performance of the Obligations as defined below, Mortgagor does, by these presents, specially mortgage, pledge, affect and hypothecate and grant a security interest unto and in favor of Mortgagee, its right, title and interest, if any, in and to the property described on Exhibit A hereto (the “Mortgaged Property”).

“Obligations” shall mean payment and performance of all of Seller’s obligations under the Agreement and all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, whether now existing or hereafter arising, the failure to pay or perform which would be an event of default under the Lease.

II.

LIMIT ON OBLIGATIONS SECURED; MATURITY

The term of the Lease, is eleven (11) years or twenty (20) years from the date hereof, as governed by the terms and conditions of the Lease and the rights, duties and obligations of the parties thereto, and all unpaid or unperformed Obligations under the Lease are due and payable or performable no later than the end of the Lease Term.
