Hamlet Drop-Down Agreements On the date of the Hamlet Drop-Down: • We entered into an agreement with our sponsor, pursuant to which (1) our sponsor agreed to guarantee certain cash flows from the Hamlet plant until June 30, 2020, (2) our sponsor agreed to reimburse us for construction cost overruns in excess of budgeted capital expenditures for the Hamlet plant, subject to certain exceptions, (3) we agreed to pay to our sponsor quarterly incentive payments for any wood pellets produced by the Hamlet plant in excess of forecast production levels through June 30, 2020 and (4) our sponsor agreed to retain liability for certain claims payable, if any, by the Hamlet JV (the “Make-Whole Agreement”). • We entered into an agreement with Enviva Management to waive our obligation to pay an aggregate of approximately $ 13.0 million in fees payable under our management services agreement with Enviva Management (the “EVA MSA”) with respect to the period from the date of the Hamlet Drop-Down through the second quarter of 2020 (the “First EVA MSA Fee Waiver”). • The Hamlet JV entered into an interim services agreement (the “ISA”) with Enviva Hamlet Operator, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of our sponsor (“Hamlet Operator”), pursuant to which Hamlet Operator, as an independent contractor, agreed to manage, operate, maintain and repair the Hamlet plant and provide other services to the Hamlet JV for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 in exchange for a fixed fee per metric ton (“MT”) of wood pellets produced by the Hamlet plant during such period and delivered at place to the Wilmington terminal. Under and during the term of the ISA, Hamlet Operator agreed to (1) pay all operating and maintenance expenses at the Hamlet plant, (2) cover all reimbursable general and administrative expenses associated with the Hamlet plant and (3) pay other costs and expenses incurred by the Hamlet plant to produce and sell the wood pellets delivered to the Wilmington terminal from the Hamlet plant. Our sponsor guarantees all obligations of Hamlet Operator under the ISA. As of March 31, 2020 , $ 2.5 million was recorded as an increase to partners’ capital, $ 10.6 million was recorded in cost of goods sold and $ 2.2 million in finished goods inventory pursuant to the agreements we entered into on the date of the Hamlet Drop-Down. The increases to partners’ capital consist of expenses waived under the First EVA MSA Fee Waiver. The net reduction in cost of goods sold comprises our receipt of a cost of cover deficiency fee from our sponsor pursuant to the Make-Whole Agreement as a result of Hamlet Operator’s failure to meet specified production levels, offset by the agreed-upon price due to Hamlet Operator for the wood pellets produced by the Hamlet plant that we have sold.

Pursuant to amendments to the Greenwood Contract, our take-or-pay obligation with respect to 550,000 MTPY of wood pellets was deferred to 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 , we purchased $9.9 million and $10.5 million , respectively, of wood pellets from Greenwood and recorded a cost of cover deficiency fee of approximately $0.4 million and $2.9 million , respectively, from Greenwood as Greenwood was unable to satisfy certain commitments.

The Holdings TSA was amended and assigned to Greenwood and deficiency payments are due to Wilmington if quarterly minimum throughput requirements are not met.
