PREAMBLE This Mitigation Banking Instrument ("Instrument") regarding the establishment, use, operation, and maintenance of the North Fork Little River Nutrient and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel ("Bank Parcel") to provide Neuse Riparian Buffer mitigation credit ("Riparian Buffer Credits") and Falls Lake Water Supply nutrient load reduction credit ("Nutrient Offset Credits") is made and entered into by and among Wildlands Holdings V, LLC acting as the Bank Sponsor ("Sponsor"), and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality — Division of Water Resources ("DWR"). This Instrument is in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0240 and the Consolidated Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295, which became effective on November 1, 2015 (Attachment E and F) and replaces the Instrument signed by Wildlands Holdings II, LLC and DWR on April 19, 2016. The purpose of the Bank is: A. To improve water quality of tributaries to the North Fork Little River through the restoration of riparian buffer habitat and adjacent riparian areas. B. To provide mitigation and sell any resulting Riparian Buffer Credits and/or Nutrient Offset Credits to third parties in the Neuse River Basin and Falls Lake Watershed respectively, for development (both existing and proposed) requiring such mitigation. II. LOCATION AND GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREA A. The Geographic Service Area ("GSA") is the designated area wherein a Bank can reasonably be expected to sell Riparian Buffer Credits and/or Nutrient Offset Credits for impacts due to development activities. B. The Bank Parcel is located within the Neuse River Basin in the State of North Carolina, United States Geological Survey ("USGS") 8 -digit Hydrologic Unit Code ("HUC") 03020201 of the Upper Falls Watersheds as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0276. C. The project is comprised of one parcel of land in Durham County, NC. The property is currently in row crop production for corn and is accessed from 10119 S. Lowell Road, in Bahama, NC. The project is located at 36.1693 N and 78.9304W. D. Unnamed tributaries to the North Fork Little River are the receiving bodies of water for stormwater runoff from this parcel. The North Fork Little River is classified by DWR as Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW). E. Sale or transfer of Riparian Buffer Credits shall be limited to the 8 -digit HUC in which the Bank Parcel is located unless otherwise authorized by the DWR or delegated local government in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295. 2 I III. AUTHORITIES A. The Bank will be used to provide Riparian Buffer Credit and Nutrient Offset Credit in accordance with the requirements in the DWR Authority document referenced herein as "Attachment A" and attached to this Instrument. B. Projects eligible for utilization of the credits are those requiring authorization under the requirements of Attachment A and any new approved North Carolina ("State") statutes and rules for the Neuse Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy — and- for the Falls Lake Water Supply Nutrient Strategy. C. All activities, including the sale of mitigation credits shall be consistent with approved North Carolina ("State") statutes and rules for the Neuse Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy —and- for the Falls Lake Water Supply Nutrient Strategy. IV. ESTABLISHMENT OF NORTH FORK LITTLE RIVER BANK PARCEL A. The Bank Parcel proposed for inclusion under this Instrument shall require a Bank Parcel Development Package (`BPDP") be submitted to, and approved by, the DWR prior to use of the Bank Parcel for mitigation purposes or sale or transfer of any associated credits. The contents of the BPDP are provided in Section V. B. The BPDP will be placed on public notice and made available for public commenting for 15 calendar days. C. Riparian Buffer Credit may be achieved through restoration of DWR riparian buffers along the unnamed tributaries on the Bank Parcel according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n), and riparian areas along some ditches as allowed in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o). D. The Bank Parcel is intended to provide Neuse Riparian Buffer mitigation as follows: 1. Planting hardwood trees on a Restoration Site, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (b) and (n) along three streams which are intermittent and are subject to the buffer protection rule 15A NCAC .0233. 2. Planting hardwood trees on a Restoration Site, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n) along agricultural ditches that meet all of the criteria under 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o). The width of the restored area will be a minimum of 30 feet and will not exceed 50 feet for crediting purposes. All ditches proposed for alternative buffer mitigation, must be approved by the DWR as part of the BPDP prior to implementing the ditches for buffer mitigation. 3. Diffuse flow will be maintained onsite to the maximum extent practicable. Where diffuse flow is unattainable, the Bank Sponsor may elect to use the Buffer Interpretation/Clarification Memo 42008-019 dated August 19, 2008 which is provided as Attachment B. E. Nutrient Offset Credit may be achieved through restoration of the riparian areas adjacent to streams and agricultural ditches on the Bank Parcel that drain to the unnamed tributaries onsite or to North Fork Creek. The width of the restoration area begins at the most landward limit of the top of bank or the rooted herbaceous vegetation and extends landward a maximum of 200 feet on all sides of the surface waters. F. The Bank Parcel is expected to provide Nutrient Offsets as follows: 1. Planting hardwood trees on a Restoration Site, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0295 (b) and per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n) (2) along intermittent streams on the Bank Parcel. Current land use along the streams is corn production. 2. Planting hardwood trees on a Restoration Site, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0295 (b) and per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n) (2) along agricultural ditches on the Bank Parcel. Current land use along the ditches is corn production. G. The total area of mitigation on the Bank Parcel is expected to be 33 acres. V. BANK PARCEL DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE A. The North Fork Little River Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP) shall include detailed information consistent with the sections below concerning: 1) site location (8 -digit HUC is required); 2) existing conditions; 3) proposed buffer mitigation and nutrient offset activities including a detailed vegetation plan; 4) monitoring and maintenance plans; 5) financial assurances; 6) associated buffer mitigation/nutrient credit calculations, which shall include credit generation, service area, and accounting as appropriate for each regulatory authority; 7) stream buffer determination letter from DWR, and 8) site viability letter from DWR. B. The Sponsor will obtain all applicable federal, state, and local documentation, permits, or authorizations needed to construct and maintain the Bank Parcel. This Instrument does not qualify as, or substitute for, such documentation, permit, or authorization. C. The restoration of riparian buffers and other riparian areas on the Bank Parcel to produce Riparian Buffer Credit or Nutrient Offset Credit must be approved by DWR prior to construction. D. Requests for deviation from the approved BPDP must be submitted to DWR in writing. Written approval from the DWR must be received prior to implementing any deviation from the approved BPDP. Property Disposition & Long Term Management E. Prior to the release of any credits, the Sponsor shall acquire a permanent conservation easement at the County Register of Deed's office that is sufficient to ensure protection, operation and maintenance of restored riparian buffers and other riparian areas for the duration specified in the approved BPDP. 4 F. The form of the conservation easement shall be consistent with the standards employed by the State of North Carolina in the protection of restored riparian buffers and riparian areas and shall be approved by the DWR prior to the release of any credits. G. The Sponsor shall not grant additional easements, right of ways, or any other property interest in or to the project areas, without prior approval from the DWR. H. The Sponsor agrees to transfer or assign the conservation easement and its interests in perpetuity to a qualified holder under NC General Statute ("GS") 121-34 et seq. and 170(h) of the Internal Revenue Code prior to the submittal of the Year 4 Monitoring Report. The holder shall be a land trust or stewardship program that will hold and enforce the conservation easement and the interests in perpetuity. The Sponsor shall choose a land trust or stewardship program that is accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission and/or has been approved by DWR prior to the end of the fourth year monitoring period. A land trust must be certified under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. I. In the event that the Sponsor is also the owner of the underlying fee interest in the property, the conveyance of the conservation easement to a land trust or stewardship fund must be arranged at the outset of the approved BPDP. Financial Assurances J. Following approval of the BPDP, the Sponsor shall provide a Performance/Maintenance Bond from a surety company that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M. Best, and it is the Sponsor's responsibility to confirm that the surety company is still rated no less than an "A-" with each annual bond renewal. The Performance Bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of the mitigation activities of the Bank Parcel as described in the approved BPDP. No bond shall be less than $150,000.00 to cover construction costs. K. Alternatively, in lieu of posting the Performance Bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit release. L. Once DWR has released all credits for completion of Task 2 according to the credit release schedule in Section VIII and the DWR has received the As -Built Report as described in Section VI and submitted a written approval, the Bank Sponsor can be released from its performance obligations under the performance bond required in "J" of this section. VI. POST CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION As -Built Report A. The Sponsor agrees to perform all necessary work, in accordance with the provisions of this Instrument, to establish, maintain, and monitor Neuse Riparian Buffers or other riparian areas until Item B (1) and (2) of Section X have been satisfied. B. The Sponsor will submit an as -built plan and report for the Bank Parcel within 30 calendar days after completing the establishment of the buffer area and nutrient offset area. The as - built report will describe any deviation from the approved BPDP and will document the following: 1. Buffer restoration: planting details, invasive species control, monitoring device locations, vegetation plot locations, photo point locations, surface and groundwater elevations, as appropriate. 2. Boundary Survey of the conservation easement area, signed and sealed by a licensed surveyor, including an enumeration of the final mitigation areas for riparian buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits in both square feet and acres. 3. As -built aerial map of the mitigation area showing where restoration was performed 4. Aerial map of the mitigation that was included in the approved BPDP. Financial Assurance C. After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan as described in the approved BPDP. The Bond must be from a surety company that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M. Best, and it is the Sponsor's responsibility to confirm that the surety company is still rated no less than an "A-" with each annual bond renewal. A Performance/Maintenance Bond shall be secured each year for a minimum of five years, and until DWR has released all mitigation credits to the Bank Sponsor. Upon DWR approval, the bond may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring. No bond shall be less than $100,000 to cover monitoring and maintenance costs. D. Once DWR has released all credits for completion of Tasks 1-9 according to the credit release schedule in Section VIII, the Bank Sponsor can be released from its performance obligations under the performance bond required in "C" of this Section. Monitoring and Maintenance Reports E. The Sponsor shall monitor the Bank Parcel as described in the BPDP until such time as DWR determines that the success criteria described below have been met. The monitoring period shall be a minimum of five consecutive years. F. Performance Standards for Vegetation: Native hardwood trees or native hardwood tree and shrub species should be planted at a density sufficient to provide 260 stems per acre after five years. A minimum of four (4) native hardwood trees or four (4) native hardwood tree and shrub species must be planted. No one species shall be greater than 50% of the rol planted stems. A list of species for planting will be detailed in the BPDP for approval. Native hardwood tree volunteer species may be included to meet performance standards as determined by the DWR. G. A "stem" means a woody seedling, sapling, shrub or tree, no less than 10 centimeters in height. H. If the performance standards of the vegetation are not met, supplemental plantings may be required. Supplemental plantings will be utilized until the required densities have been achieved and maintained for five years. Bank Parcel maintenance, such as ensuring diffuse flow, managing invasive species, and pest control will be included in the BPDP. Monitoring Reports for Riparian Buffer Credit or Nutrient Offset Credit: Reporting criteria of the riparian buffer restoration shall be based on the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) — EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation Level 2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4.0 or any updated versions of this protocol in place at the date of acceptance of the BPDP. The Sponsor shall submit to the DWR an annual monitoring report no later than December 31 of each year for a minimum of five consecutive years after the first full growing season. This report will describe the conditions of each Bank Parcel, including an evaluation of the performance standards of the vegetation contained within the approved BPDP. Reports shall contain the following: 1. A U.S. Geological Survey map showing location of the Bank Parcel; 2. A detailed narrative summarizing the condition of the Bank Parcel along with any maintenance or remediation performed that year; and A map, survey, or other figure showing locations of sampling plots, permanent photo points, location of transects, etc.; and 4. Monitoring data, including specific vegetative counts showing that the trees or tree and shrub species planted are meeting performance standards and updated photographs; and 5. A copy of the most recent Bank credit/debit ledgers; and 6. Corresponding verification letters from designated local governments upon request; and 7. Corresponding Mitigation Transfer Certificates upon request. Contin2ency Plans/Remedial Actions J. In the event the Bank Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria described in this Instrument and the approved BPDP, the Bank Sponsor shall develop necessary contingency plans in 7 coordination with the DWR and implement appropriate remedial actions for the Bank Parcel and the Bank. Depending on the degree of remedial actions required, the DWR may modify the monitoring period. VII. CALCULATION OF MITIGATION CREDITS Riparian Buffer Credits A. All Riparian Buffer Credits shall be determined based on the ratios and percentages provided in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (m) and (n). B. Riparian buffer restoration on the Bank Parcel, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295, may be used for either Riparian Buffer Credit or Nutrient Offset Credit, but not both. C. Riparian Buffer Credit is defined as one (1) buffer credit per one square foot or 43,560 buffer credits per one acre. Nutrient Offset Credits D. All Nutrient Offset Credits will be determined by including the applicable ratio as provided in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (m) for a Restoration Site. E. Nutrient Offset Credit may be achieved through restoration or enhancement of the riparian area adjacent to surface water features. Surface water features do not have to be intermittent or perennial, nor do they have to be depicted on a USGS, NRCS, or EMC approved map. However, surface water features must be hydrologically connected to and drain to jurisdictional waters that are either intermittent or perennial. The width of the restoration area begins at the most landward limit of the top of bank or the rooted herbaceous vegetation and extends landward a maximum distance of 200 feet on all sides of the surface water. F. Nutrient Abatement of Restored Riparian Area: The Sponsor and DWR agree: 1. The pounds of nitrogen offset per acre of restored riparian areas shall be two thousand two hundred and seventy three pounds per acre (2,273.02 lbs/acre) or the amount of nitrogen offset per acre in effect at the time the BPDP is approved. 2. The pounds of phosphorus offset per acre of restored riparian areas shall be one hundred forty six and four -tenths pounds per acre (146.4 lbs/acre) or the amount of phosphorus offset per acre in effect at the time the BPDP is approved. G. The Sponsor and DWR agree that the methodology and calculations for determining nitrogen and total phosphorous reduction, associated with restoration of riparian areas, shall be fixed as part of the approval of each BPDP, with the fixed amount not changing during the development or credit release schedule for each Bank Parcel. 8 This space left blank intentionally, do not add text to this space. VIII. CREDIT RELEASE SCHEDULE A. Credit Release: Upon submittal of all appropriate documentation by the Sponsor, and subsequent approval by DWR, it is agreed that the mitigation credits associated with the Bank Parcel will become available for sale to a third party in accordance with the following schedules: Table I - Credit Release Schedule for Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Credits Task Project Milestone % Credit Available for Sale 1 MBI and BPDP Approved by DWR, Conservation Easement Recorded* and Financial Assurance Posted 20 2 Mitigation Site Earthwork, Planting and Installation of Monitoring Devices Completed 20 3 Monitoring Financial Assurance Posted and Approval of As -Built Report 10 4 Monitoring Report #1: Approved by the DWR** 10 5 Monitoring Report #2: Approved by the DWR** 10 6 Monitoring Report #3: Approved by the DWR** 10 7 Item B (1) of Section X in this Instrument has been completed and approved by DWR. 5 No remaining credits will be released until Task 7 has been satisfied 8 Monitoring Report #4: Approved by the DWR** 5 9 Monitoring Report 45: Approved by the DWR** and final site visit by DWR has been conducted 10 Total 100% * For specification, please see Section V in this Instrument ** DWR Approval provided upon a determination that the site is meeting success criteria contained within the approved BPDP B.

DWR will notify the Sponsor of any modification to the credit release schedule. IX. PROCEDURE FOR DEBITING AND CREDITING Credit Ledgers A. The Bank Sponsor shall maintain three credit ledgers, if applicable, for the Bank Parcel under this Instrument: one accounting for buffer mitigation credits in square feet and acres, one accounting for nitrogen offset credits in pounds and acres, and one accounting for phosphorus offset credits in pounds and acres. B. Each credit ledger shall be submitted on a separate 8 %tin X 11 in spreadsheet with legible font style and font size. All ledgers shall be submitted using the templates provided in Attachments C and D of this Instrument or any updated versions to these templates as provided by DWR. 10 Credit Processing C. Riparian Buffer Credits generated on this Bank Parcel must be provided to offset impacts within the Neuse River Basin according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (g). D. Nutrient Offset Credits generated on this Bank Parcel can only be provided to offset nutrient loadings within the Upper and Lower Falls Watersheds. Impacted areas in the Upper Falls Watershed can only mitigate in the Upper Falls Watershed. Impacted areas in the Lower Falls Watershed can mitigate in any portion of the Falls Watershed per 15A NCAC 0213 .0282. E. Available mitigation credits (credits that have been released by DWR but not sold by the Sponsor) that are generated from riparian buffer restoration, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (b) and described in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n) along intermittent streams can be converted and transferred from Riparian Buffer Credits to Nutrient Offset Credits and from Nutrient Offset Credits back to Riparian Buffer Credits upon written approval from DWR. F. Available mitigation credits that are generated from riparian restoration, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (b) and described in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n) along approved ditches, may be converted from Nutrient Offset Credits to Riparian Buffer Credits and from Riparian Buffer Credits back to Nutrient Offset Credits. All Ratios and percentages of full credit will be applied to Riparian Buffer Credits according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (m) and (n) and ratios will be applied to Nutrient Offset Credits according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (m). G. The Bank Sponsor shall obtain verification of nutrient offset need from a designated local government in the Falls Watershed prior to debiting Nutrient Offset Credits from the Bank Parcel. H. The Bank Sponsor shall obtain verification of buffer mitigation required from the delegated local government or DWR prior to debiting Riparian Buffer Credits from the Bank Parcel. I. All credit and debit transactions for each Bank Parcel under this Instrument shall be accurately depicted in the credit ledgers. DWR shall be notified of each credit sale or credit transfer within thirty (30) calendar days by electronically submitting an updated credit ledger to DWR. At a minimum, DWR shall receive a hard copy of updated credit ledgers along with the corresponding Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificates ("Certificate") and all corresponding letters from the designated local governments twice a year. Notification of all credit sales shall be provided to DWR until all credits that have been released have been sold. 11 Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificates J. All credit sales will include a Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate ("Certificate") that is required to be provided to the buyer of Riparian Buffer and/or Nutrient Offset credits, that will include, at a minimum, the following information: 1. Bank Details: (1) sponsor Name, (2) name of the approved banking instrument as it appears on the instrument document, (3) bank parcel name as it appears on the BPDP, (4) DWR project number for the BPDP. 2. Credit Details: (1) date of receipt, (2) identify if full or partial payment, (3 — when applicable) amount of nitrogen credits purchased in pounds and confirmation from the designated local government of the amount required, (4 — when applicable) amount of phosphorous credits purchased in pounds and confirmation from the designated local government of the amount required, and (5 — when applicable) amount of Riparian Buffer Credits purchased in square feet and the confirmation from DWR or the local government of the amount required.

K. If the DWR determines that the Bank is operating at a deficit (e.g. the Sponsor is closing on sales and/or transferring credit that is not available), or the Bank is selling credits out of compliance with statutes, rules or this Agreement, the sale/transfer of credits will immediately cease, and the DWR, in consultation with the Sponsor, will determine what remedial actions are necessary. X. BANK PARCEL CLOSURE A. Bank Parcel Closure shall be identified as the event when the Sponsor is relieved of all of its responsibilities to the Bank Parcel and there are no mitigation credits left to sell. B. Bank Parcel Closure shall commence only after all of the following events have occurred: 1. Transfer or assign the conservation easement and all of its interests, in perpetuity, to a land trust or stewardship program as described in Section V of this instrument. 2. All five years of monitoring completed and all monitoring reports submitted and approved by DWR 3.
