EFFECTIVENESS AND TERM

This Agreement shall become effective upon Buyer clicking an “I accept” button

(the “Effective Date”). This Agreement shall remain in force and effect until
both Parties have satisfied all their obligations and liabilities hereunder.

ARTICLE 2
OBLIGATIONS

2.1 Buyer’s Obligations

Buyer agrees as follows:

  1. Payment. Buyer shall make payment in full (in an amount equal to the Contract
    Price times the Contract Quantity) to LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS by credit or debit card (“Payment
    Method”) at the time of purchase. By presenting a Payment Method to LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS to
    purchase Carbon Credits, Buyer (or the individual acting on behalf of Buyer if a
    legal entity) (1) authorizes LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS or its designated agent to charge or debit the
    Payment Method for the amount due, and (2) certifies that Buyer (or such
    individual) is authorized to use the Payment Method for the purchase of Carbon
    Credits under this Agreement, that such Payment Method has sufficient funds or
    credit to satisfy the amount due, and that, upon completion of a purchase under
    this Agreement, Buyer (or any individual acting on behalf of Buyer) shall not
    seek to charge back or reverse this purchase made on such Payment Method.
  2. No exercise of rights until confirmation of Carbon Credit retirement. Until
    Buyer has paid LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS the full amounts due for purchase of the Carbon Credits
    specified by Buyer through the LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS Platform and has received a certificate from
    LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS pursuant to Section 2.2.B that the purchased Carbon Credits have been
    retired, Buyer shall have no right to make any claim of environmental or climate
    benefit or exercise any right represented by such Carbon Credits. Buyer
    understands that, pursuant to Section 2.2.B, Buyer may not receive such
    certificate for up to 18 months after making payment.
  3. Use and disclosure of information. Buyer consents to LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS’s storage, use, and
    disclosure of information relating to this Agreement, that Buyer has entered
    into this Agreement, and all activities in furtherance of this Agreement to the
    extent needed to support creation, issuance, Verification, if any, registration,
    and retirement of the Carbon Credits (including the disclosure of Buyer’s name
    in the public section of the Registry); marketing of Carbon Credits to
    prospective buyers; or any related inquiries by a governmental authority. LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS’s
    rights with respect to storage, use, and disclosure of information shall survive
    following the full performance or termination of this Agreement. LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS’s current
    privacy policy is posted on the LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS Platform, but is subject to change by
    posting of a revised policy to the LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS Platform.

2.2 LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS Obligations

  1. Proof of Purchase. Upon receiving Buyer’s payment in full pursuant to Section
    2.1.A, LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS shall promptly deliver proof of Buyer’s purchase to Buyer via email.
    Buyer understands that this proof of purchase is evidence of Buyer’s payment,
    but does not confer the right to make any claim of environmental or climate
    benefit, nor to exercise any right represented by Carbon Credits.
  2. Carbon Credit Retirement and Certificate. Promptly after Buyer makes payment
    in full pursuant to Section 2.1.A and LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS issues Carbon Credits meeting Buyer’s
    specifications (whichever is later), and in no event later than 18 months after
    Buyer’s payment in full, LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS shall retire Carbon Credits in the Registry on
    Buyer’s behalf in the quantities and meeting any specifications indicated
    through the LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS Platform at the time of purchase. After retiring such Carbon
    Credits, LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS shall deliver to Buyer via email a certificate of Carbon Credit
    retirement describing the Carbon Credits retired on Buyer’s behalf. Receipt of
    such certificate shall confer on Buyer the sole right to claim the environmental
    and climate benefits represented by such Carbon Credits. The right to make such
    claims shall not be transferrable to any individual or entity other than Buyer
    for any reason. Carbon Credits retired pursuant to this Agreement cannot be
    unretired or resold under any circumstances.
  3. Verification. LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS shall make commercially reasonable efforts to achieve
    Verification that all Carbon Credits retired pursuant to Section 2.2.B were
    issued in conformity with the applicable Methodology for the corresponding
    Performance Period(s), as described in Section 2.2.D. Buyer shall cooperate with
    and support, to any reasonable extent as requested by LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS, but without any
    out-of-pocket expense or cost to Buyer, efforts involved in the Verification,
    including the work of a Verifier, for all such Carbon Credits.
  4. Carbon Methodology. The Carbon Credits LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS retires pursuant to Section 2.2.B
    (or Section 3.2.A, if LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS instead retires comparable credits pursuant to that
    section) shall have been issued by LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS in accordance with a Methodology
    developed and applied by LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS in its sole discretion for each Performance Period
    under the LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS program. At the time LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS delivers the certificate of Carbon Credit
    retirement pursuant to Section 2.2.B, LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS shall make available the details of
    the Methodology applicable to the retired Carbon Credits upon request by Buyer.
    The Parties agree that the Methodology is subject to continuous improvement, but
    that LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS intends to use only one version of the Methodology for all Credits
    issued in each Performance Period. LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS shall have no obligation to make
    adjustments or retroactively apply changes made to the Methodology to Buyer’s
    Carbon Credits purchased under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

3.1. Buyer’s Representations and Warranties

Buyer represents and warrants as follows:

  1. No exercise of rights conferred by Carbon Credits before receiving
    certificate of Carbon Credit retirement. Buyer has not made, and shall not make,
    any claim regarding greenhouse gas removals or emissions reductions,
    environmental or climate benefits, or any similar or related claim, whether
    specific to any particular Carbon Credit(s) retired or to be retired pursuant to
    this Agreement and the deferred harvest of commercially usable timber to which
    they correspond or in general or aggregate terms with respect to Buyer’s
    operations and environmental impacts, without having first received LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS’s
    certificate of Carbon Credit retirement pursuant to Section 2.2.B conferring the
    right to make such claim(s). Buyer has not conveyed, and shall not convey, the
    right to make any such environmental claim or authorized any other person or
    entity, whether expressly or by implication, and whether formally or informally,
    to make any such environmental claim. Buyer is not aware of any action,
    information, or circumstance that would interfere with the ability of Buyer to
    make legitimate claims of greenhouse gas removal or emission reduction and other
    environmental or climate benefits based on retirement of such Carbon Credits.
    Buyer understands that, notwithstanding whether or not Carbon Credits have been
    retired, making any such claim based on those credits shall constitute exercise
    of the rights represented by those credits, and shall result in LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS immediately,
    irrevocably retiring any unretired Carbon Credits necessary to support such
    claims.
  2. Material Accuracy. Buyer is not aware of any material inaccuracy or omission
    in the information provided by LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS with respect to the Carbon Credits purchased
    by Buyer and retired by LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS pursuant to this Agreement.
  3. No encumbrance of real property. Buyer understands and acknowledges that
    neither creation, possession, nor retirement of a Carbon Credit constitutes a
    right to, interest in, or encumbrance of any real property with which any Carbon
    Credit is associated.
  4. [Reserved.]
  5. Authority to bind Buyer. If Buyer is a legal entity and not an individual,
    Buyer and such individual each represent and warrant to LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS that such individual
    has legal authority to bind Buyer to this Agreement.

3.2. LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS Representations and Warranties

LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS represents and warrants as follows:

  1. No exercise of rights conferred by Carbon Credits. LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS is not aware of any
    action, information, or circumstance that would interfere with Buyer’s right to
    make legitimate claims of greenhouse gas removal or emission reduction and other
    environmental and climate benefits based on Carbon Credits purchased pursuant to
    this Agreement, subject to the irrevocable retirement in the Registry of such
    Carbon Credits and delivery by LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS of a certificate of retirement under Section
    2.2.B prior to exercise of such right. If LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS becomes aware of any such claim or
    exercise of right by any previous holder of the Carbon Credit(s) purchased and
    retired pursuant to this Agreement during the time in which the previous holder
    held such credits, LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS shall (i) promptly notify Buyer of such circumstance;
    (ii) if required in light of such circumstances, promptly and irrevocably retire
    any Carbon Credit(s) affected by such circumstances; (iii) if any Carbon Credits
    were retired pursuant to (ii), and to the extent necessary to support Buyer’s
    credible environmental claims and exercise of rights represented by any credits
    so retired, promptly retire on Buyer’s behalf, at no charge, sufficient
    unretired Carbon Credits to convey the same or greater rights to make claims as
    would have been represented by any Carbon Credits so retired, and (iv) deliver
    to Buyer a certificate of retirement with respect to such Carbon Credits
    comparable to the certificate that LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS would have issued pursuant to Section
    2.2.B. LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS shall have no obligation to retire additional Carbon Credits on
    Buyer’s behalf pursuant to this paragraph with respect to any environmental or
    climate claims except those made by a previous holder of Carbon Credits to be
    purchased and retired pursuant to this Agreement, during the time when such
    previous holder held such credits and requiring the irrevocable retirement of
    such credits based on the nature of such claims.
  2. Information provided to the Buyer. At the time LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS provided Buyer any
    information related to the Agreement or to any Carbon Credits to be purchased
    and retired pursuant to this Agreement, LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS was unaware of any material error or
    omission in such information. Any such information provided by LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS was for
    Buyer’s information only, and any reliance by Buyer on such information is at
    Buyer’s sole risk.

3.3. Mutual Representations and Warranties

Each Party represents and warrants to the other as follows:

  1. Authority. (i) Such Party is person or legal entity duly formed and validly
    existing and in good standing under the laws of the state in which it is formed
    or incorporated, (ii) it has the full power and authority to execute, deliver,
    and perform this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated
    hereby; (iii) its execution, delivery, and carrying out of the transactions
    contemplated herein have been duly authorized by all requisite entity action,
    and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Party and
    constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable
    against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except to the extent that
    enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or other similar laws generally
    affecting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles; (iv) no
    authorization, consent, notice to or registration or filing with any
    governmental authority or third party is required for the execution, delivery
    and performance by such Party hereof; (v) none of the execution, delivery and
    performance by such Party hereof conflicts with or will result in a breach or
    violation of any law, contract, agreement, order or instrument to which such
    Party is a party or is bound; (vi) there are no proceedings by or before any
    governmental authority, now pending or (to such Party’s knowledge) threatened,
    that if adversely determined could have a material adverse effect on such
    Party’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; and (vii) it is acting for
    its own account, has made its own independent decision to enter into this
    Agreement and as to whether this Agreement is appropriate or proper for it based
    upon its own judgment, is not relying upon the advice or recommendations of the
    other Party in so doing, and is capable of assessing the merits of and
    understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of
    this Agreement.
  2. No further representations or warranties. Neither Party makes any
    representation or warranty to the other beyond those expressly stated in this
    Article 3.

the transactions contemplated hereby or subject matter hereof, the prevailing
Party will, in addition to such other relief as the court or arbitrator may

failure is not remedied within ten (10) Business Days after written notice of

(b) any representation or warranty made by such Party herein is or becomes false

In an Event of Default, the non-Defaulting Party shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the
Defaulting Party. If Buyer is the Defaulting Party, in addition to pursuing any

No obligation of either Party hereunder shall be secured by or deemed to create

further acts and execute and deliver such documents that may be reasonably
necessary to carry out the intent and purpose hereof.

Neither Party shall assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the
other’s written consent; except that a Party may, without consent (i) pledge,
encumber or assign this Agreement or the accounts, revenues or proceeds hereof
in connection with any financing or other financial arrangements; (ii) assign
this Agreement to an affiliate if the affiliate’s creditworthiness is equal to
or higher than that of the assigning Party; or (iii) assign this Agreement to

and reasonable prior notice of such assignment shall be given to the other
Party. No assignment of rights or obligations under this Agreement shall release
the assigning Party of its obligations hereunder. All of the rights, benefits,
liabilities, and obligations of the Parties shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns. A

this Section 7.2.

7.3 Audit and Inspection
LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS shall maintain adequate records to assist Buyer in meeting any reporting or
registration requirements associated with the Carbon Credits retired on Buyer’s
behalf by LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS under this Agreement. LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS shall provide such records upon
reasonable notice from the Buyer. If any such examination reveals material
inaccuracy in any statement, the Parties shall make the necessary adjustments
promptly, and amounts discovered to be so due shall bear interest calculated at
the Interest Rate from the date the overpayment or underpayment was made until
paid.

7.4 Goodwill and Publicity
Each Party shall be allowed to use any name, trade name, service mark or
trademark of the other Party in any promotional or advertising material,
website, customer list, press release or similar announcement that indicates
that the Buyer is a customer of LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS or that LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS sold Carbon Credits to the
Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be required to obtain the
written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
prior to using any name, trade name, service mark or trademark of the other
Party in any other way. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all
public statements must accurately reflect the rights and obligations of the
Parties under this Agreement.

7.5 [Reserved]

7.6 Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and signed counterparts
hereof may be delivered by email or tele facsimile and other electronic form,
and all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same
original instrument.

7.7 Entire Agreement
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties concerning
the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all previous communications,
representations, or contracts, either written or oral, that purport to describe
or embody the subject matter hereof. There are no oral understandings, terms, or
conditions and neither Party has relied upon any representation, express or
implied, not contained in this Agreement.

7.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries
There are no intended third-party beneficiaries hereof, and this Agreement
should not be construed to create or confer any right or interest in or to, or
to grant any remedies to, any third party as a beneficiary of this Agreement or
of any duty, obligation, or undertaking established herein.

use reasonable efforts to replace any such part with provisions that preserve
their original intent.

to allow either Party to fulfill or enforce its respective rights or obligations
that have accrued under this Agreement prior to such termination.

7.11 Waiver, Amendment
None of the terms or conditions of this Agreement may be amended or waived
except in writing and signed by the Parties. The Parties agree that no waiver,
amendment, or modification of this Agreement will be established by conduct,
custom, or course of dealing. The failure of a Party to require performance of
any provision of this Agreement will not limit such Party’s right to seek such
performance at a later time. Similarly, a Party’s waiver of its rights with
respect to any Default or any other matter arising in connection with this
Agreement will not be considered a waiver with respect to any subsequent Default
or matter.

7.12 Change in Law
If any statutes, rules, regulations, permits or authorizations are enacted,
amended, granted or revoked which have the effect of changing the Carbon Credit
purchase, sale, and retirement procedure set forth in this Agreement so that the
implementation of this Agreement becomes impossible or impracticable, or
otherwise revokes or eliminates a Methodology upon which a Party or the Parties
collectively relied, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to amend this
Agreement to conform with such new statutes, regulations, or rules in order to
maintain the original intent of the Parties under this Agreement.

7.13 Forward Contract
The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes a “forward
contract” within the meaning of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and Buyer and LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS are
“forward contract merchants” within the meaning of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Each Party further agrees that, for all purposes of this Agreement, each Party
waives and agrees not to assert the applicability of the provisions of 11 U.S.C.
§ 366 in any bankruptcy proceeding wherein such Party is a debtor.

7.14 Relationship of the Parties
The relationship of the Parties under this Agreement is that of buyer and
seller. The Parties specifically state their intention that this Agreement is
not intended to create any agency relationship or a partnership or any other
co-owned enterprise unless specifically agreed to by the Parties in a separate
written instrument. Except as specifically provided herein, each Party shall
continue to have the right to contract independent of the other Party with
individuals and entities. Each Party shall be responsible for its own operating
expenses and personnel expenses.

Should any sales and/or use tax be imposed on any part of this transaction, at
any time, said tax shall be collected from the Buyer as part of the Contract
Price and remitted by LIFECYCLE INVESTMENTS. Buyer will also be responsible for any use, ad
valorem, and other taxes imposed in connection with its ownership of Carbon
Credits at any point after the delivery of such credits.
