Section 3. Terminal Services; Shipment Commitment.

3.1 Terminal Services. Owner will make its loading and unloading facilities at the Terminal available for the receipt and handling of Biomass that conforms to the specifications and sustainability criteria set forth on Exhibit C (collectively, the “Specifications”). Owner may allocate use of the Terminal facilities among its customers, including Affiliates, at its discretion, which it shall exercise in a reasonable manner. Subject to Owner’s rights to suspend hereunder in accordance with Exhibit B hereto, Owner agrees to perform the following services for Customer at the Terminal: (i) coordination of inbound Biomass-loaded railcars and trucks to, and the outbound dispatch of railcars and coordination of outbound trucks from, the Terminal; (ii) receipt of Biomass by railcar or truck at the Delivery Point, (iii) the temporary receipt, storage, and handling of Biomass at the Terminal in connection with the offloading of railcars and trucks and pending the redelivery of same onto Vessels designated by Customer; (iv) the re-delivering and loading of Biomass at the Berth onto Vessels designated by Customer; (v) such regulatory compliance reporting that Owner is required to perform as the Terminal operator; and (vi) such other services, including those set forth in Exhibit B hereto, expressly set forth herein (collectively, the “Terminal Services”).

For the avoidance of doubt, Terminal Services shall not include making arrangements for the transportation of Biomass by Vessel, for which, as between the Parties, Customer shall be solely responsible to make at its own cost.

3.2 Shipment Commitment. Customer shall cause all Biomass produced from the Source Plant(s) to be delivered into the Terminal.

Section 4. Fees; Invoices and Payments.

4.1 Terminal Services Fee; Included Services. The fee for Terminal Services shall be invoiced at $14.00 per metric ton of Customer’s Biomass that is received by Owner at the Delivery Point (such fee, as discounted or escalated in accordance with Section 4.2(b), the “Terminal Services Fee”). Each of Owner and Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this Section 4.1, the Terminal Services Fee constitutes payment for all Terminal Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer or its Agents, as applicable, shall be obligated to pay all additional dockage and security fees imposed by the Port Authority in connection with the use of the Terminal or the Berth by any Vessel, as the same are incurred by Customer or its Agents, as applicable. The Terminal and the Berth are within the jurisdiction of the Port Authority. Customer and its Vessels may be subject to the applicable rules and fees issued by the Port Authority, including any of its tariffs, as same may be amended or revised from time to time. Accordingly, Customer and its Vessel are subject to any such applicable rules issued and fees required by the Port Authority, independent and apart from, and in addition to, Customer’s obligations to Owner under this Agreement.

4.2 Payment of Terminal Services Fee; Escalation.

(a) Customer agrees to utilize, or pay for, the Terminal Services as contemplated by this Agreement as outlined in this Section 4.2.

(b) The Terminal Services Fee will automatically adjust annually, beginning on January 1, 2015, and on January 1 of each year thereafter, to reflect the rate of increase, if any, in the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U), all items, U.S. city average, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (the “Index”), and the Terminal Services Fee as so adjusted shall in each case be effective for the subsequent twelve (12) month period; provided, however that the Terminal Services Fee for the twenty-four (24) month period beginning on the Effective Date shall be discounted by $4 per metric ton of Customer’s Biomass that is received by Owner at the Delivery Point during such period. For purposes of such adjustments, the “Base Index” shall be the Index for the month immediately preceding the month in which the Effective Date occurs and the “Current Index” shall be the Index for the last month of the prior Contract Year. The percentage change from the Base Index to the Current Index will be calculated to the third decimal place and applied to the Terminal Services Fee to determine the change to the Terminal Services Fee in accordance with the following formula; provided, that in no event shall the operation of this Section 4.2(b) result in a reduction in any charges applicable during any period beginning on or after January 1, 2015 as compared with the charges that were applicable at any time prior to such period:

((Current Index - Base Index)/Base Index) * Terminal Services Fee = Change to Terminal Services Fee

In the event the Bureau of Labor Statistics no longer keeps or publishes the Index, the Parties agree to establish an alternative method of adjusting the Terminal Services Fee based on a currently published U.S. Government index that reflects changes in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representative basket of goods and services.

4.3 Taxes and Other Charges. In consideration of Owner’s agreement to provide Terminal Services to Customer hereunder, in addition to the other amounts owed to Owner hereunder, Customer shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Owner against, all taxes, assessments and fees, including ad valorem taxes, now or in the future assessed against the Biomass and the provision of Terminal Services, including any sales and use tax (collectively, “Indirect Taxes”). Customer further agrees to provide proper documentation for all claimed exemptions to Indirect Taxes.

4.4 Monthly Statements and Invoices. Within ten (10) Days following the end of each Month during the Term of this Agreement, Owner will submit to Customer a statement recording the volume of Customer’s Biomass received at the Delivery Point during the preceding Month, together with an invoice for the Terminal Services Fee and Indirect Taxes for the preceding Month. This Monthly statement and invoice will be mailed or sent by facsimile to Customer at the address indicated in Exhibit A. Each such Monthly statement will include, in addition to the identity and volume of Biomass, (i) a consecutive number, (ii) date of issuance, and (iii) a reference to the rate of Terminal Services Fee included in this Agreement.

4.5 Payment of Fees. The Terminal Services Fee and Indirect Taxes reflected in Owner’s invoices are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt of Owner’s invoice by Customer. A Party may, in good faith, dispute the correctness of any invoice or any adjustment to an invoice rendered under this Agreement, or adjust any invoice for any arithmetic or computational error. Neither Party may dispute or adjust any invoice delivered more than twelve (12) months from the date of delivery of such invoice. In the event an invoice or portion thereof, or any other claim or adjustment arising hereunder, is disputed, payment of the undisputed portion of the invoice shall be required to be made when due. Any invoice dispute or invoice adjustment shall be in writing and shall state the basis for the dispute or adjustment. Payment of the disputed amount shall not be required until the dispute is resolved. Upon resolution of the dispute, any required payment shall be made within five (5) Business Days after such resolution along with interest accrued at the Interest Rate from and including the due date to but excluding the date paid. Any overpayments shall, at the option of the Party making the overpayment, be returned upon request or deducted by the Party receiving such overpayment from subsequent payments, with interest accrued at the Interest Rate from and including the date of such overpayment to but excluding the date repaid or deducted by the Party receiving such overpayment. Any dispute with respect to an invoice is waived unless the other Party is timely notified of such dispute in accordance with this Section 4.5. Any overdue amount hereunder not disputed in good faith in accordance with this Section 4.5 shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate from and including the date due to but excluding the date paid.

4.6 Records and Audits. During the Term and for up to one (1) year after the end of the Term, Customer may, at its own expense, during Office Hours and upon reasonable advance notice so as to not unreasonably interfere with the Terminal’s or Owner’s normal business operations, inspect, copy and audit, to the extent each of the following is relevant to Owner’s obligations hereunder, Owner’s books, records, accounts, ledgers, schedules, correspondence and any other documents. Customer shall reimburse reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Owner in connection with this Section 4.6. Owner shall reasonably cooperate with Customer and shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested by Customer under this Section 4.6.

4.7 Inventory Accounting. The Parties agree to follow Owner’s inventory accounting policies on a per Dome basis with respect to FOB deliveries of Biomass terminaled hereunder to any customers of Customer, which may vary by Dome and shall be FIFO unless Customer is notified otherwise.

4.8 Shrinkage. Given the nature of terminal operations and the varying temperatures, Vessel configurations and other factors affecting the volume and other attributes of Biomass as it is offloaded from railcars and trucks, handled through the Terminal, and subsequently loaded onto Vessels, Customer agrees that the Biomass will be subject to shrinkage. Following Customer’s request for such calculation to the extent commercially reasonable and in any event at least once per Contract Year, Owner shall calculate the total rate of shrinkage of all Biomass in storage since the last such measurement was taken for purposes of this Agreement. Such calculation shall be made by dividing the tonnage loaded onto Vessels since the last such measurement was taken for purposes of this Agreement by the weight of all deliveries of Biomass by railcar and truck to the Delivery Point during the same period as measured upon arrival of such railcars and trucks. Customer shall bear its pro rata portion of any shrinkage based upon the weight of its Shipments during each such calculation period; provided, that Owner shall bear the risk of any shrinkage in excess of one percent (1.0%) of the weight of all deliveries of Biomass to the Delivery Point.

Section 5. Operations; Deliveries; Loading.

5.1 Inbound Railcar Deliveries.

(a) Customer understands and agrees that Owner has no control over the performance of the Railroad, including, but not limited to, railcar switching frequency, and that Owner shall not be responsible for the same.

(b) Owner guarantees to Customer a minimum available railcar unloading rate at the Terminal of 400 metric tons per hour, Weather Working Day, Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays included (WWDSSHINC), excluding Super Holidays and subject to the Railroad’s frequency of switching and Force Majeure Events.

(c) Prior to railcars being picked up by the Railroad, Customer shall provide electronically, via a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or other reasonably acceptable format, to Owner the railcar identification number and the corresponding empty weight, full weight, and volume for each railcar unloaded.

(d) Owner will be under no obligation to make any arrangements with, or pay any fees to, the Railroad with respect to the transportation of railcars to or from the Terminal. Customer will be solely responsible for making arrangements with, entering into any necessary agreement with, and the payment for any services due to the Railroad with respect to the transportation of railcars to and from the Terminal. Customer will issue orders pertaining to railcars to both the Railroad and Owner simultaneously.

5.3 Use of Berth. Customer shall have non-exclusive use of the Berth from and after the Effective Date throughout the Term. Owner shall use due diligence to make the Berth safe and capable of accommodating Vessels with mean draft, maximum length overall and maximum beam consistent with the Berth’s dimensions and depths; provided, however, that in the event of severe weather conditions, Owner’s obligation to make the Berth available to Customer shall be limited in accordance with Good Industry Practice and applicable Laws.

5.4 Notification of Arrival of Vessels. Customer must provide Owner with and maintain updated forecasts of scheduled arrivals of its Vessels at the Terminal, which forecasts must include details as to the quantity of Biomass to be loaded aboard such Vessels. Customer must notify Owner of tentative Biomass Vessel loading dates reasonably in advance of anticipated Vessel loadings and of any revision of those dates as soon as practicable.

5.5 Vessels. Customer shall nominate Vessels to load Biomass only if they fully comply with (or hold necessary waivers from) all applicable requirements of Law and comply with the requirements set forth in Exhibit A (the “Required Vessel Specifications”). Each Vessel scheduled to load Biomass at the Berth must satisfy the requirements of the Required Vessel Specifications; provided, that Owner shall accept or reject any Vessel within one (1) Business Day of receiving such nomination and any other information required by the Required Vessel Specifications; and provided further, that Owner’s acceptance of such Vessel shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, Owner may screen any Vessel scheduled for loading at the Berth to ensure such Vessel is in compliance with the Required Vessel Specifications. Customer shall indemnify Owner in accordance with Section 14.2 for any loss, cost or damage resulting from failure to comply with any of the Required Vessel Specifications. Owner shall have the right to refuse to berth any Vessel or to order any Vessel to vacate the Berth if the presence or

condition of any such Vessel, its cargo or its crew shall in Owner’s reasonable opinion threaten the safety of, or pose a hazard to, the Terminal, the Berth or the area surrounding the same or any Person or property thereon; provided, that Owner shall provide Customer written notice of any such refusal.

5.6 Demurrage. In the event that demurrage is payable to the applicable owner or operator of any Vessel, pursuant to the applicable Charter, and such demurrage is attributable solely to delay caused by Owner’s breach of its obligations pursuant to Section 5.12 of this Agreement, then Owner shall reimburse Customer for the amount of such demurrage paid to the applicable owner or operator with respect to the delayed Vessel; provided, that the cost of demurrage shall not exceed $15,000 per day. In all other cases, Customer shall be responsible for and shall pay demurrage to the applicable owner or operator of any Vessel in connection with this Agreement.

5.7 Compliance. Customer will provide Owner with any information, documentation, or other materials as required by Law for the unloading or loading of Biomass.

5.8 Filings, Disclosure and Reports. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party may have an obligation under Law to disclose information regarding Biomass to Governmental Authorities, parties handling Biomass, parties exposed to Biomass, and to the general public, and each Party will promptly upon the request of any such obligated Party provide such Party with any information required by Law for such disclosures.

Owner may take any facility or equipment at the Terminal, or any portion or part thereof, out of service during the Term in order to perform inspections, maintenance, or repairs. Except for any emergency in which providing advance notice is not practicable, Owner will provide Customer with at least thirty-five (35) days prior written notice of any such scheduled maintenance that may impact any Terminal Services hereunder. On or before December 1st of each year during the remaining term following the Effective Date, Owner will provide Customer a non-binding schedule reflecting planned maintenance for the upcoming calendar year and shall provide Customer updates from time to time based on any changes to such schedule.

5.11 Credentials. Owner will require each of Customer’s carriers and contractors to execute an access agreement and, if applicable, require each employee or invitee of any such carrier or contractor to produce a valid Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)

card to the extent required under Law prior to entering the Terminal and unloading or loading Biomass.

5.12 Minimum Rate of Loading Requirements; Despatch. Owner will provide equipment and facilities reasonably necessary for the loading of Biomass at the minimum rate of 18,000 metric tons per Weather Working Day, Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays included (WWDSSHINC), excluding Super Holidays (or such other loading rate as may be otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties), subject to any Vessel limitations, and, in addition, excluding the following periods: the time taken from anchorage to the discharge berth(s), the time taken for ballasting or deballasting unless discharge is possible while maintaining the stipulated minimum rate, the time lost due to any cause attributable to the Vessel, her master, her crew or owners, that affects the working or berthing of the Vessel, the period of delay caused by any Force Majeure Event(s), any weather related delay affecting the safe loading of the Biomass in a dry condition as required, the period of stoppage of loading activities by stevedores due to strike, time taken due to disputes between master and men occasioning a stoppage of stevedores, Vessel crew, pilots or other workmen essential to the movement, working or unloading of the Vessel or the period of physical inability by the Vessel to load the cargo, including but not limited to ballasting or deballasting capacity, and each period during which such minimum rate cannot be maintained due to (i) Customer’s Biomass failing to meet the Specifications, (ii) Customer’s failure to deliver sufficient volumes of Biomass, or (iii) any action or omission of Customer or any third party not within Owner’s control (each such excluded period, including Super Holidays, an “Excluded Period”). If Owner’s actual loading rate is less than such applicable minimum rate during any Excluded Period or as a result of Vessel limitations, then, in such event, Owner will have no liability for demurrage. Customer shall be liable to pay Owner for despatch at a per diem rate (or pro-rated portion thereof) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the demurrage rate applicable to the applicable Vessel in the event that Owner loads (or causes the loading of) Biomass onto a Vessel at a rate greater than 18,000 metric tons per Weather Working Day, Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays included (WWDSSHINC), excluding Super Holidays (or such other loading rate as may be otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties), subject to any Vessel limitations and excluding Excluded Periods. For the avoidance of doubt, such despatch payment obligations shall accrue to the extent such minimum rate is exceeded even if the related loading occurs (at Owner’s sole discretion) during any Excluded Period.

5.13 Limitation of Services. The Terminal Services hereunder are being provided to Customer only with respect to the Biomass and no other products.

5.14 Required Improvements. Owner shall perform routine maintenance and repair of the Terminal in accordance with Good Industry Practices, but will not be required to make any improvements, alterations or additions to the Terminal.

5.15 Ownership of Equipment. All fixtures, equipment and appurtenances attached to the Terminal are and shall remain the property of Owner or the Port Authority, as applicable.

5.16 Title. Subject to Section 12.6, title to the Biomass handled hereunder shall always remain with Customer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, title to the Biomass shall in no event pass to Owner at any time under or pursuant to this Agreement. Owner shall be deemed to have custody of the Biomass from the time it passes from the delivery facilities of the

railcars or trucks into Owner’s receiving facilities and until it passes from the delivery facilities of Owner into the receiving facilities of a Vessel.

Section 6. Biomass Quality Standards; Measurement.

6.1 Quality Requirements. Customer represents and warrants to Owner that all Biomass tendered by or for the account of Customer for Terminal Services will conform to the Specifications. Owner will not be obligated to load or unload Biomass that fails to meet the Specifications at the time tendered by Customer, but, to the extent that Owner loads or unloads Biomass that fails to meet the Specifications, in no event will Owner have any liability whatsoever for loading or unloading such Biomass. Owner may, upon prior written notice to Customer, impose other limitations on the Biomass delivered to the Terminal in order to (a) comply with applicable Laws, (b) protect health and safety, and (c) protect the premises, equipment or facilities at the Terminal.

6.2 Deliveries Not Meeting Quality Requirements. Owner may rely upon the representations of Customer set forth below as to Biomass quality. In the event that Customer knows, or has reason to believe, that any Biomass tendered to Owner does not conform with the Specifications when tendered, it shall be the responsibility of Customer to notify Owner to such effect as soon as reasonably possible, whereupon Owner may elect to refuse tender, or, if Owner has already received such Biomass into the Terminal, cause Customer to take redelivery or otherwise dispose of the nonconforming Biomass, at Customer’s expense. Owner shall also have the right, without prejudice to any other remedy available to Owner, to reject and return to Customer any quantities of Biomass that fail to meet the Specifications, even after receipt by Owner. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Customer shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Owner Group from and against, any Claims, including damage to the biomass of others and all documented costs resulting from any Biomass received at the Terminal for Customer’s account that does not conform to the Specifications.

6.3 Commingling. Customer acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with the Terminal Services, its Biomass may be commingled or intermixed with other, similar biomass at the Terminal within the Specifications. Owner is not obligated to redeliver the identical Biomass (or Biomass matching any identical specifications) delivered by Customer into the Terminal.

6.4 Biomass Loss or Damage. Subject to Section 4.8, Owner will not be liable to Customer for any contamination, damage, degradation, misdelivery or loss of Biomass, unless and only to the extent such contamination, damage, degradation, misdelivery or loss results from Owner’s negligence. If Customer desires to protect any Biomass against insurable losses relating to contamination, damage, degradation, misdelivery or loss other than as may be attributable to Owner’s gross negligence, Customer may secure insurance at its own cost and expense. Customer must make any claims against Owner for such contamination, damage, degradation, misdelivery or loss of Biomass by notice to Owner within ninety (90) Days after the date that Customer becomes aware of such contamination, damage, degradation, misdelivery or loss, and Customer irrevocably waives any claim for which the required notice is not provided within such required time. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, OWNER’S LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF CONTAMINATION,

DAMAGE, DEGRADATION, MISDELIVERY OR LOSS OF BIOMASS SHALL NEVER IN ANY EVENT EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO (i) THE MARKET PRICE OF THE CONTAMINATED, DAMAGED, DEGRADED, MISDELIVERED OR LOST BIOMASS, LESS (ii) THE SALVAGE VALUE, IF ANY, OF THE CONTAMINATED, DAMAGED, DEGRADED, MISDELIVERED OR LOST BIOMASS, AND OWNER SHALL NOT IN ANY EVENT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUES OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, NOR FOR PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, NO MATTER HOW SUCH CONTAMINATION, DAMAGE, DEGRADATION, MISDELIVERY OR LOSS OF BIOMASS SHALL HAVE OCCURRED OR BEEN CAUSED.

6.5 Measurement.

(a) The weight of each delivery of Biomass shall be determined upon arrival at the Delivery Point using scales maintained and operated in accordance with procedures reasonably acceptable to Owner and Customer and professionally certified at intervals of no less than six (6) months to be in conformity with the most current, industry accepted standard.

(b) The weight of each Shipment shall be determined upon completion of loading. Customer shall appoint an independent marine surveyor, at its own expense but on behalf of both Parties jointly, to conduct a draft survey and to issue a certificate to both Parties certifying the weight of the Shipment. Shipments shall be in cargo lots of 30,000 metric tons +/-10%, at Customer’s option, or such larger vessel sizes as the Parties may mutually agree in writing.

Section 7. Consequential Damages Waiver. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, BY STATUTE, IN TORT OR CONTRACT, UNDER ANY INDEMNITY PROVISION OR OTHERWISE (EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS FOR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AND LOSSES).

Section 8. Force Majeure Event.

8.1 General. A Party is not responsible or liable for any delay or failure in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent such performance is prevented by a Force Majeure Event. A “Force Majeure Event” is any event or circumstance that is beyond the control of, and occurs without the fault or negligence of, the Party claiming force majeure (the “Affected Party”, and the other Party being the “Non-Affected Party”), that could not reasonably have been avoided or overcome, and was not reasonably foreseeable. A Force Majeure Event may include the following, to the extent that each satisfies the foregoing requirements: any act of God or the elements, earthquakes, floods, landslides, hurricanes, civil disturbances, sabotage, acts of public enemies, terrorism, war, blockades, insurrections, riots,

epidemics, fires or explosions. For the avoidance of doubt, a lack of funds, changes in market conditions, loss of markets, changes in market pricing, changes in Laws, or the availability of subsidies or inefficiencies in operations shall not constitute a Force Majeure Event.

8.2 Notice. The Affected Party shall give the Non-Affected Party written notice within five (5) Days of the date on which the Affected Party becomes aware of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, describing the particulars and estimated duration of the Force Majeure Event and the proposed cure; provided, however, that failure to timely provide such notice shall not preclude the Affected Party from obtaining the relief contemplated in Section 8.1 as a result of a Force Majeure Event except to the extent that the Non-Affected Party would be materially and adversely affected as a result of the Affected Party’s failure to timely deliver such notice. Any suspension of performance as a result of a Force Majeure Event shall be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably attributable to the Force Majeure Event; further, the Affected Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and shall promptly notify the Non-Affected Party when the Affected Party is able to resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

8.3 Make-up. In addition to the Affected Party’s obligations under Section 8.2, the Parties may mutually agree to make-up resulting delays or deficiencies due to a Force Majeure Event through an adjustment, as necessary, to the Terminal Services Fee.

8.4 Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8, if a Force Majeure Event lasts for more than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive Days or for more than hundred eighty (180) Days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period, the Non-Affected Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Affected Party; provided, however, that such one hundred eighty (180) Day period, in either case, shall be extended by an additional ninety (90) Days if the Affected Party shall, prior to the expiration of such ninety (90) Day period, have submitted to the Non-Affected Party a remedial action plan that sets forth a reasonably feasible course of repairs, improvements, changes to operations, or other actions that would permit the Affected Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable and such Party pursues the remedial action plan in a commercially reasonable and diligent manner. Termination of this Agreement by a Party under this Section 8 shall be without liability to such Party; provided that such termination shall not affect any rights or obligations that may have accrued prior to such termination or that expressly or by implication are intended to survive termination, whether resulting from the event giving rise to the right to terminate or otherwise.

Section 9. Inspection of and Access to Terminal.

9.1 Inspections. Subject to Customer meeting Owner’s safety requirements and its other reasonable rules and regulations concerning activities in and around the Terminal, Owner grants to Customer and its inspectors and other Agents the right to enter the Terminal (a) for purposes of observing and verifying Owner’s performance hereunder, and (b) during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, for purposes of examination, testing and audit of any scale or other equipment, Terminal records pertaining to the loading of Biomass and Owner’s operational procedures and practices from time to time, which rights under both clauses (a) and (b) will be exercised in a way that will not interfere with or diminish Owner’s control

over or its operation of the Terminal or the Berth and will be subject to reasonable rules and regulations from time to time promulgated by Owner.

9.2 Nature of Access Right. Customer acknowledges that any grant of the right of access to the Terminal or the Berth under this Agreement or under any document related to this Agreement is a grant of merely a license and conveys no interest in or to the Terminal or any part thereof.

Section 10. Assignment.

10.1 Assignment Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 10, neither Party may directly or indirectly assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and any purported assignment made other than in accordance with this Section 10 shall be null and void ab initio.

10.2 Permitted Assignments. Notwithstanding Section 10.1, the following are permitted, subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) collateral assignment by a Party to its Financing Parties, and further assignment by such Financing Parties following any foreclosure of their security interest in this Agreement, in which case neither such Party nor, following any post-foreclosure assignments, its Financing Parties shall have any liability with respect to the future performance of this Agreement;

(b) assignment by a Party to an Affiliate of such Party; provided, however, that, in the case of any assignment by a Party to an Affiliate without the express consent of the other Party to such specific assignment, the assigning Party shall remain jointly and severally liable for the assigned obligations and shall notify the other Party of the assignment (and identify the name of, and notice address information for, such Affiliate), unless (i) in the case of an assignment by either Party, the assignment is made to the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of Owner or Customer, or (ii) in the case of an assignment by Customer, the assignment is made to a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Customer (or such successor), so long as the performance of all such Subsidiary’s obligations under this Agreement is guaranteed by Customer (or such successor) under a guaranty that is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner; and

(c) subcontracting and the assignment of rights and delegation of obligations by Owner (without relieving Owner of its obligations to Customer hereunder), including to (i) Enviva Management Company, LLC from time to time consistent with any Management Services Agreement between Enviva Management Company, LLC and Owner (or an Affiliate of Owner) under which Owner is a “Service Recipient” or (ii) the Port Authority in accordance with the Operation and Services Agreement.

Section 11. Compliance with Law and Safety. Customer warrants that the Biomass tendered by it is produced and transported, and Owner warrants that the Terminal and the Terminal Services provided by it under this Agreement are, in material compliance with all

applicable Laws and the then-current version of NFPA 664: Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Explosions in Wood Processing and Woodworking Facilities or any successor publication. Each Party also warrants that it may lawfully receive and handle the Biomass, and it will furnish to the other Party any evidence required to provide compliance with such Laws, and will file with governmental agencies any required reports evidencing such compliance with those Laws.

Section 12. Default, Termination and Other Remedies.

12.1 Customer Default. Each of the following shall be deemed an event of default by Customer hereunder (each, a “Customer Event of Default”):

(a) Customer fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement (not otherwise provided for as a separate Customer Event of Default under this Agreement), for a period of thirty (30) Days after Customer’s receipt of written notice thereof; provided, that such period shall be extended for an additional reasonable period if such failure is capable of being cured but a cure cannot be reasonably effected within thirty (30) Days, corrective action is instituted by Customer within the thirty (30) Day period and such action is diligently pursued until such default is corrected; provided further, that the cure period shall in no event exceed ninety (90) Days from Customer’s receipt of the written notice of the performance failure;

(b) Except for disputed fees or charges under this Agreement, if Customer fails to pay any amounts due hereunder, which failure continues for a period of ten (10) Days after the date on which written notice of a failure to pay is received by Customer; or

12.2 Owner Remedies for Customer Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Customer Event of Default, and at any time following the expiration of the respective periods referred to in Section 12.1, in addition to any other rights set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or provided by Law, Owner may serve a written notice upon Customer (an “Owner Notice of Termination”) that Owner elects to terminate this Agreement upon a specified date which shall be no earlier than one (1) Day and no later than twenty (20) Days after the date of serving such Owner Notice of Termination, and this Agreement shall then expire on the date so specified as if that date had been originally fixed as the expiration date of the term herein granted, without waiving any other remedies that Owner may have. No Customer Event of Default shall be deemed waived unless in writing and signed by Owner.

12.3 Owner Default. Each of the following shall be deemed an event of default by Owner hereunder (each, an “Owner Event of Default”):

(a) Owner fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement (not otherwise provided for as a separate Owner Event of Default under this Agreement) for a period of thirty (30) Days after Owner’s receipt of written notice thereof; provided, that such period shall be extended for an additional reasonable period if a cure cannot be reasonably effected within thirty (30) Days, corrective action is instituted by Owner within the thirty (30) Day period and such action is diligently pursued until such default is corrected;

provided further, that the cure period shall in no event exceed ninety (90) Days from Owner’s receipt of the written notice of the performance failure;

(b) Except for disputed fees or charges under this Agreement, if Owner fails to pay any amounts due hereunder, which failure continues for a period of ten (10) Days after the date on which written notice of a failure to pay is received by Owner; or

12.4 Customer Remedies for Owner Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Owner Event of Default, and at any time following the expiration of the respective periods referred to in Section 12.3, in addition to any other rights set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or provided by Law, Customer may serve a written notice upon Owner that Customer elects to terminate this Agreement upon a specified date (a “Customer Notice of Termination”) which shall be no earlier than one (1) Day and no later than twenty (20) Days after the date of serving such Customer Notice of Termination. This Agreement shall expire on the date specified in such Customer Notice of Termination as if that date had been originally fixed as the expiration date of the term herein granted, without waiving any other remedies that Customer may have. No Owner Event of Default shall be deemed waived unless in writing and signed by Customer.

12.5 Remedies of Each Party Generally. Without limiting its rights under this Agreement, after an Event of Default, the non-defaulting Party may set off any or all amounts due and owing to it by the defaulting Party against any or all amounts due and owing by it or any of its wholly-owned Affiliates to the defaulting Party (whether under this Agreement or otherwise and whether or not then due). Nothing in this Section 12.5 is intended in any way to limit or prejudice any other rights or remedies the non-defaulting Party may have under this Agreement or at law. The remedies of the non-defaulting Party provided in this Agreement are not exclusive and, except as otherwise expressly limited by this Agreement, are in addition to all other remedies of the non-defaulting Party at law or in equity.

12.6 Lien on Biomass.

(a) Owner, as operator of the Terminal and bailee of Customer’s Biomass, is hereby granted a first and preferred lien on: (i) the Biomass from the time of receipt until delivery to Customer; and (ii) any property of Customer located at the Terminal or any other terminal facility owned or operated by Owner or its Affiliates or otherwise in the custody of Owner or its affiliates to secure the payment of all sums due from Customer under this Agreement (the “Collateral”). Customer hereby authorizes Owner to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Customer, in each case where permitted by law, and to take any and all other actions necessary to secure its interest in the Collateral. In addition, Customer agrees that from time to time it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all further action, that Owner may reasonably request as being necessary or desirable in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Owner to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer will execute and file such financing

or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as Owner may request as being necessary or desirable in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby.

(b) In the event Customer should fail to pay sums owed by it to Owner, after notice in accordance with Section 12.1(b), Owner may proceed in law to enforce its lien to satisfy all contractual and statutory obligations of Customer, including all costs, attorneys’ fees, and expense incurred by Owner in the enforcement of its lien and the recovery of monies owed to it by Customer. Customer hereby agrees that in the event of any such default, in addition to other remedies set forth herein and as may be available under law, Owner may sell, on commercially reasonable terms, any such Collateral upon which Owner has a lien to satisfy any debt owed by Customer to Owner out of the proceeds thereof. Customer hereby waives any right to notice or otherwise associated with any such sale to which it may be entitled under this Agreement or at law or in equity.

MARINE NOMINATIONS AND SCHEDULING

1. Interpretation. In the event of any inconsistency between this Exhibit B and Section 5 of the Agreement, the terms and conditions of Section 5 shall prevail.

2. Laycan and Vessel Nominations.

(a) Shipping Schedule. By the first Business Day of each month from and after the Effective Date, Customer shall provide Owner a non-binding, indicative schedule of the Shipment size and 15 day windows of each Shipment to be delivered to Customer over the following 3-month period.

(b) Laycan Nominations. At least 30 days prior to the start of the applicable Laycan, Customer shall nominate to Owner a 10-day window for such Laycan, which Customer shall narrow to a 7-day Laycan at least 21 days prior to the start of such Laycan. For the avoidance of doubt, the final 7-day Laycan must be within the foregoing 10-day window.

(c) Vessel Nominations. Customer shall nominate the final performing Vessel for Shipments to be loaded by Owner at least 10 days before the first day of the applicable Laycan. Owner shall have one (1) Business Day to accept or reject such nominated Vessel, in writing to Customer. Upon any such rejection, Customer shall have the right to nominate a different Vessel within 2 Business Days of its receipt of such rejection in accordance with, and conforming to, the requirements of this Agreement. In the event that Customer does not nominate a Vessel when required hereunder and such failure continues for 5 days following Customer’s receipt of notice thereof from Owner, Owner shall have the right, upon two (2) Business Days’ written notice to Customer, to suspend Terminal Services until such failure has been cured or remedied to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction.

3. Estimated Time of Arrival. Customer or its designee will notify Owner of the estimated date and time of arrival at the Terminal of each Vessel with an approved nomination notice as soon as this information is available, but no later than forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the estimated time of arrival. The Vessel will be required to send Owner answers to pre-berthing questions at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the estimated time of arrival. Owner will provide pre-berthing questions to the Vessel early enough to allow it a reasonable time to respond.

4. Notice of Readiness. After a Vessel has arrived at the customary anchorage or place of waiting, received all required clearances from Governmental Entities and is otherwise in all respects ready to proceed to berth and commence loading a Shipment, it will tender a Notice of Readiness to Owner in writing or via other available means acceptable to Owner. The Notice of Readiness will state the estimated time the Vessel will arrive at the Terminal wharf given any tidal or other constraints.

5. Vessel Berth. Owner shall use due diligence to designate a safe berth for the Vessel at which it can remain safely afloat and conduct cargo operations; provided, however, that Owner is not responsible or liable for maintaining the depth of the channel leading to the berth.

B-1

Customer shall ensure all Vessels will be dimensionally acceptable and meet all requirements of the Terminal’s wharf facilities and governmental agencies.

6. Berthing Order. Vessels arriving and issuing valid Notices of Readiness within the Laycan confirmed by Owner will be berthed at the Berth in the order of their tendering of valid notices of readiness, on a “first come, first served” basis. A Vessel shall be deemed to have arrived at such time as it has given a valid Notice of Readiness to Owner.

7. Berth Shifting & Vacating. Owner may require any Vessel to shift from one berth to another at the Terminal at any time. Owner may require any Vessel to vacate its berth if such action is reasonably required for the safe operation of the Terminal. If the Vessel is required to so vacate its berth, the Vessel, after tendering Notice of Readiness to recommence loading or discharging, will be re-berthed in the next open time slot on the Terminal dock schedule. If any Vessel fails to vacate its berth at the Terminal upon completion of loading Customer’s Shipment, then Customer shall be responsible for the costs incurred by other vessels that otherwise would be occupying the Berth but for the failure of Customer’s Vessel to vacate same.

8. Pollution, Prevention and Responsibility. Customer or its Agent will require all Vessels promptly and diligently to prevent, mitigate and remediate all pollution emanating from said Vessels. Customer or its Agent will require all Vessels to comply with Law and to carry all liability and pollution insurance required by Law. In the event of any Biomass spills or other environmentally polluting discharge caused by the fault of Customer’s Vessel, Owner shall immediately notify Customer, and, subject to Customer’s consent, is authorized to commence containment or cleanup operations as deemed appropriate or necessary by Owner (and consented to by Customer). All reasonable costs of containment or cleanup for such spill or discharge shall be borne by Customer, except that, in the event a spill or discharge is the result of joint negligence or misconduct of both Owner and Customer’s Vessel, costs of containment or cleanup shall be borne jointly by Owner and Customer in proportion to each Party’s or its Vessel’s negligence or misconduct.

9. International Ship and Port Facility Security Code Compliance. Customer shall ensure that any Vessel receiving Customer’s Biomass under this Agreement is in compliance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code and any relevant amendments to Chapter XI of SOLAS (“ISPS code”) or the Maritime Transportation Security Act (“MTSA”) of 2002, as applicable, and similar laws and regulations pertaining to the security of ports, facilities, or terminals. The Terminal will operate in compliance with all applicable Laws for the activities as contemplated herein this Agreement.
