GUARANTY AGREEMENT

This GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of December 19, 2014 (the “Guaranty”) made by each of the undersigned guarantors (such Persons individually referred to herein as a “Guarantor” and collectively as the “Guarantors”) in favor of the Lenders (defined below).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, CHP PARTNERS, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”), the lenders who are or may become party thereto, as Lenders (the “Lenders”), and KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent on behalf of itself and the other Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”) have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 19, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Guarantors may receive, directly or indirectly, a portion of the proceeds of the Credit Facilities under the Credit Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the making of Loans under the Credit Agreement that Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans under the Credit Facilities from time to time and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantors hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Defined Terms. (a) Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

(b) As used herein, “Obligations” shall have meaning given such term in the Credit Agreement.

(c) The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guaranty shall refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guaranty, and section and paragraph references are to this Guaranty unless otherwise specified.

(d) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

Section 2. Guaranty. (a) Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at scheduled maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) of all of the Obligations, and agree to pay any and all expenses (including, without

limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the liability of Guarantors shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by Borrower to any Lender but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Borrower. Each Guarantor is and shall be liable for the Obligations as a primary obligor.

(b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that, notwithstanding any term or provision herein or in any other Loan Document, the maximum liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the maximum amount of liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the obligations of such Guarantor or the rights and remedies of any Lender hereunder.

(d) No payment made by Borrower, the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Lender from Borrower, the Guarantors, any other guarantor or surety or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment or performance of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantors hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by any Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from any Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of Guarantors hereunder until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated or expired.

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with their respective terms, regardless of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender with respect thereto. Each Guarantor agrees that its guaranty hereunder constitutes a guaranty of payment and performance when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be made by the Administrative Agent or any of the other Lenders to any collateral, any other Person or any other security. The obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Obligations or any other obligations of Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents and any other obligations of any other guarantor or surety, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Borrower or any other guarantor

or surety or whether Borrower or any other guarantor or surety is joined in any such action or actions. The obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be valid, enforceable, irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional irrespective of, and such Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any defenses and counterclaims it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Obligations, any Loan Document or any agreement, document or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any extension or change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term or provision of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment, modification or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to any of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to Borrower or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, compromise, subordination, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;

(d) the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, defense or other right that Borrower or any other Person may have against any Person, including, without limitation, any Lender;

(e) any order or manner of enforcement or application of any collateral, or proceeds thereof, at any time to all or any of the Obligations, or any order or manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of Borrower, or any exercise of any other right or remedy available to any Lender under the Loan Documents against any collateral or other guarantor or surety;

(f) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate or other organizational structure, ownership or existence of Borrower;

(g) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Borrower, or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Obligations, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of Borrower, or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Obligations;

(i) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, or any other guaranty or agreement, or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor, surety or obligor with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; or

(j) any other circumstance or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any other guarantor or surety other than the defense of payment or performance of the Obligations.

Whenever any Tax is paid by any Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Guarantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent an official receipt showing payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as may be required from time to time by the Administrative Agent.

Section 9. Amendments, Etc. None of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by all Guarantors and the Administrative Agent, provided that any provision of this Guaranty may be waived by the Administrative Agent in a letter or agreement executed by the Administrative Agent or by facsimile transmission from the Administrative Agent.

Section 10. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier as follows:

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such other Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.

The Administrative Agent shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Administrative Agent of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
