S-26-026 Firefly Energy LLC (Burnett) FIREFLY ENERGY LLC SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION ACCESS PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, VIRGINIA PARCEL # 2365-17-3702 (BURNETT) Firefly Energy LLC 98 San Jacinto Blvd, Suite 750 Austin, TX 78701 July 2026 FIREFLY ENERGY LLC SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION PARCEL # 2365-17-3702 (BURNETT) PRE-APPLICATION DOCUMENTATION COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT P.O. Drawer D • 53 N. Main Street Chatham, Virginia 24531 Phone (434) 432-1767 Email: permits@pittgov.org Special Use Permit Pre-Application Information & Applicant Acknowledgment Purpose of the Pre-Application Meeting Before submitting a Special Use Permit (SUP) application, applicants should understand the SUP process, required materials, timeline, and responsibilities. Reviewing this information with staff— whether informally or during a scheduled appointment—serves as the County’s pre‑application meeting. While many applicants prepare and represent their own requests successfully, applicants should be aware that more complex projects may benefit from assistance from a surveyor, engineer, planner, or attorney. Professional assistance is not required, but may help ensure accuracy and completeness depending on the project’s complexity. Staff Assistance & Applicant Responsibilities To ensure a fair and consistent review process, Community Development staff must remain neutral and cannot assist in drafting, shaping, or justifying an application. Applicants are responsible for preparing all narrative responses, plans, and supporting materials required for their petition. Community Development staff may: • Explain ordinance requirements, review criteria, and the public hearing process. • Clarify application procedures, expectations, and deadlines. • Identify missing or incomplete items during the completeness check. Community Development staff may not: • Draft, edit, or suggest wording for narratives, hardship statements, or justifications. • Advise applicants on how to satisfy review criteria or improve their case. • Prepare site plans, drawings, or supporting documents, or evaluate likelihood of approval. If you need assistance beyond explanations of the ordinance or process—such as help preparing justification narratives, identifying the best approach to satisfy the review criteria, or preparing technical documents—you will need to hire a qualified professional (such as a planner, engineer, surveyor, or land-use attorney). County staff cannot serve in a consulting role for any applicant. Overview of the SUP Process Step 1: Application Submittal Applications must be submitted as a complete package by 4:00 PM six (6) weeks prior to the scheduled Planning Commission hearing date. Incomplete packets cannot be accepted. Public hearing dates will not be scheduled, and may be delayed, if the application is not deemed complete in time to meet required public notice and advertising deadlines. Applications must include required signatures, supporting documentation, and applicable fees. Pittsylvania County Special Use Permit Pre-Application (July 2026) Page 2 of 4 Submittal Requirements • SUP Application Form (complete, with required notarized signatures) • Statement of Justification • Sign Posting Affidavit • Required fees: $400 application fee ($5,000 for Solar Energy Facilities), postage fee, $5 per zoning sign • Additional materials if applicable: Concept Plan, Plat/Survey, Deed, Metes-and-bounds description Posting Requirements Applicants must post zoning signs at least 14 days prior to the Planning Commission meeting and maintain visibility through the Board of Supervisors meeting where final action is taken. Signs must be removed within 14 days after the final hearing. The sign must be erected within 10 feet of the boundary line that abuts a public road and positioned so it is clearly visible from the road, with the bottom of the sign not less than 2.5 feet above the ground. Failure to comply with posting requirements may result in deferral. Step 2: Staff Review After acceptance, staff prepares required public notices and sign(s) for the applicant to post, conducts a site visit as appropriate, and coordinates with other County departments or outside agencies (e.g., VDOT) as needed. Staff may request additional information. A report is then prepared for the Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals. Step 3: Planning Commission Review The Planning Commission typically meets on the first Tuesday of each month to conduct a public hearing on the request. The applicant or their designated agent must attend and will be given an opportunity to present the request and answer questions. Staff provides its report, and public comments are accepted. The Commission may recommend approval, denial, or deferral. Step 4: Board of Zoning Appeals Action The Board of Zoning Appeals typically meets on the second Monday of each month to conduct a public hearing. The applicant or their agent must attend and will be given an opportunity to present or respond to questions. The Board may approve or deny the request, and may impose conditions it deems necessary in the public interest. The Board of Zoning Appeals may also defer or refer the request back to the Planning Commission. Step 5: Recordation of Final Action A decision becomes effective immediately upon the Board of Zoning Appeals’ vote. Legal forms documenting the action are filed the following morning. All case files remain available for public review. Concept Plan Information A concept plan or site development plan is required for all Special Use Permit applications. The Zoning Administrator will determine which type of plan is appropriate and the level of detail needed Pittsylvania County Special Use Permit Pre-Application (July 2026) Page 3 of 4 based on the nature and complexity of the request. In many cases, a concept plan is sufficient; however, the Zoning Administrator may require a professionally prepared plan when greater accuracy or clarity is necessary. If more detailed technical information is needed to fully evaluate the proposal, a site development plan may be required instead of—or in addition to—a concept plan. A concept plan should provide a clear, scaled illustration of the proposed development, including enough detail for staff, the Planning Commission, and the Board of Zoning Appeals to assess the layout and key site features. At a minimum, a concept plan should show: • Property boundaries and total acreage • Adjacent streets or access points • Existing and proposed structures and their general locations • Natural or physical site features (such as streams, slopes, tree lines, or other constraints) • General layout of parking, driveways, and internal circulation • Proposed utility connections, if applicable • Anticipated screening, buffering, or landscaped areas Additional information—such as building elevations, unit counts, activity areas, or other operational details—may be required when needed to fully understand the proposal. Specific items may be waived if they are not applicable. Site Development Plan Requirements A site development plan may be required when the complexity of the proposed use, its potential impacts, or technical considerations warrant a more detailed level of information than a concept plan provides. Site development plans include engineered details necessary to evaluate grading, drainage, utilities, circulation, public safety, and compliance with development standards. When required, a site development plan should clearly depict: • The precise layout and dimensions of all buildings, structures, and major site features • Access points, driveways, parking areas, loading spaces, and internal circulation patterns • Existing and proposed topography, grading, and contour changes • Stormwater management, drainage systems, and erosion and sediment control measures • Water, sewer, and other utility connections and infrastructure • Landscaping, screening, buffering, open space areas, and any required improvements • Provisions for emergency vehicle access and public safety The Zoning Administrator may request additional engineering or design information when necessary for a complete evaluation or may waive specific elements that are not relevant to the proposed use. A site development plan must be detailed enough to demonstrate that the proposed use can function safely and effectively and that potential impacts can be adequately addressed. Requests to Defer, Reschedule, or Withdraw an Application Public hearing dates follow state-mandated notice and advertising deadlines. Because of these requirements, changes to a scheduled hearing must be formally acted upon by the Planning Commission or Board of Zoning Appeals at their public meeting.

Burnett and Willard Ray Burnett, and his wife Lori Strader Burnett, (“Grantor”), and Firefly Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Grantee”), for and in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) cash in hand paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. Grantor and Grantee are sometimes individually referred to herein as a “party” and collectively referred to herein as the “parties.” WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Grantor is the fee simple owner of that certain parcel of land located in Pittsylvania County, Virginia being more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Grantor Parcel”); and WHEREAS, Grantor desires to grant and Grantee desires to obtain certain easements permitting Grantee to access, construct, operate, and maintain a roadway and related improvements on a portion of the Grantor Parcel. NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of mutual covenants contained herein, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Grantor and Grantee agree as follows: 1. Grant of Easements: (a) Access Easement. Grantor hereby grants unto Grantee and Grantee’s employees, officers, directors, contractors, subcontractors, agents, lessees, invitees, licensees, permitted successors, and permitted assigns (collectively, “Grantee Parties”), and Grantee hereby accepts from Grantor, the non- exclusive right, privilege, and easement over and across that certain portion of the Grantor Parcel as more particularly shown on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Easement Area”) for access, ingress, egress, and regress for pedestrian and vehicular traffic (including construction vehicles, machinery, and equipment), to and from the Grantor Parcel and to and from lands adjacent to or nearby the Grantor Parcel (“Access Easement”). Grantee shall have the right to create and maintain a roadway and a slope adjoining the improved roadway within the Easement Area and the right to grade, construct, reconstruct, upgrade, replace, repair, maintain and use such road as Grantee may deem reasonably necessary in the exercise of the Access Easement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the rights granted herein shall entitle Grantee to use and improve any existing and future roads and access routes located on the Easement Area, including, without limitation, the right to construct, reconstruct, upgrade, replace, repair, maintain bridges or other means of crossing any irrigation, drainage or other ditches located in the Easement Area (collectively the roadway and all related improvements, “Grantee Facilities”). Grantee’s rights hereunder include the right of Grantee to allow Grantee Parties to use the Easement Area in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (b) Temporary Construction Easement. Grantor hereby grants unto Grantee and Grantee Parties, and Grantee hereby accepts from Grantor, the non-exclusive right, privilege, and easement over and across the Grantor Parcel for use by Grantee, its successors and assigns for access to and for construction, maintenance, repair, replacement, and removal of Grantee Facilities upon the Easement Area and other facilities owned by Grantee on certain lands owned by Grantee adjacent to or nearby the Easement Area from time to time (“Temporary Construction Easement,” and together with the Access Easement, the “Easements”). The Temporary Construction Easement includes, but is not limited to, the right and privilege by Grantee to go onto and to access the Grantor Parcel with vehicles, heavy equipment, machinery, construction supplies, and building materials in order to construct, maintain, repair, replace and remove Grantee Facilities within the Easement Area and other facilities owned by Grantee on certain lands owned by Grantee adjacent to or nearby the Easement Area. Following the construction activities described above, Grantee shall reasonably restore property disturbed by the construction activities outside the Easement Area, including reseeding and stabilizing such areas. 2. No Interference with Easements. Grantor’s activities and any grant of rights Grantor makes to any person or entity, whether located on the Grantor Parcel or elsewhere, shall not, currently or in the future, impede or interfere with the siting, permitting, construction, installation, maintenance, operation, replacement, or removal of Grantee Facilities, whether located on the Grantor Parcel or elsewhere, or the exercise of Grantee’s rights of access pursuant to this Agreement. In furtherance of, but not in any way in limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Grantee and Grantor agree as follows: (a) Grantee shall have the right, from time to time, to clear and to keep clear the Easement Area and the real property affected thereby, free from explosives, buildings, structures, equipment, trees, vines, brush, combustible materials and any and all other obstructions of any kind, including, but not in any way in limitation of the generality of the foregoing, swimming pools and appurtenances, fences, and the parking of automobiles, trucks or other mechanical equipment, for protection from fire and other hazards and from interference with ingress and egress and with the unobstructed use of the Easements and the Easement Area and every part thereof. (b) In addition to the right of the Grantee to remove trees from the Easement Area, Grantee shall also have the right to trim or top and to keep trimmed or topped any and all trees and brush within the Easement Area, and any and all trees and brush on the Grantor Parcel along each side of the Easement Area, which now or hereafter in the judgment of Grantee shall be reasonably necessary for the proper construction, operation and maintenance of Grantee Facilities, or as Grantee deems reasonably necessary to comply with applicable state or federal regulations. (c) Grantor shall not exercise or authorize or permit the exercise of any surface or sub- surface rights affecting the Easement Area, including, without limitation, mineral, gas and oil resources, which might damage Grantee Facilities or interfere or endanger in any material respect Grantee's use of the Easements. Grantor shall not deposit or permit or allow to be deposited, earth, rubbish, debris or any other substance or material, whether combustible or noncombustible, on the Easement Area, or so near thereto as to constitute, in the reasonable opinion of Grantee, a menace or danger to Grantee Facilities. Grantor shall not increase or decrease the ground surface elevations nor allow the ground surface elevations to be increased or decreased in any manner within the Easement Area, nor shall the ground within the Easement Area be penetrated in any manner to a depth in excess of eighteen inches (18”) without the prior written consent of Grantee. (d) Grantor may use Easement Area for its own purposes so long as such uses do not interfere with Grantee's full enjoyment of the rights granted to Grantee under this Easement or damage any of Grantee Facilities. 3. Exclusivity. No other easement or easements shall be granted on, under or over the Easement Area by Grantor to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Grantee. Grantee hereby acknowledges and consents to such easement interests granted by Grantor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Grantor shall not be precluded from transferring its ownership interest in the Grantor Parcel, provided that such transfer is made subject to this Agreement. 4. Improvements. All Grantee Facilities constructed or placed upon the Easement Area by or on behalf of Grantee shall at all times remain the property of Grantee, and Grantor shall have no right, title or interest therein, whether or not such property shall be permanently affixed to the real estate. All Grantee Facilities constructed or placed upon the Easement Area by or on behalf of Grantee may be removed, repaired, altered or replaced by Grantee at any time; and some or all of the Grantee Facilities, as determined by Grantee, may be owned jointly among all Grantee entities or by individual Grantee entities. All road facilities and other improvements that Grantee constructs, installs or places within the Easement Area shall be entirely at Grantee’s expense. 5. Compliance with Law. Grantee and Grantee Parties shall comply with all laws, regulations, ordinances, permits, and other legal requirements applicable to Grantee’s exercise of its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its use of, and activities within, the Easement Area and its use, maintenance, and repair of Grantee Facilities. Grantee shall not use the Easement Area or exercise its rights under this Agreement for any unlawful or immoral purposes or in such a manner as to constitute a nuisance. 6. Construction Standards; Maintenance. Grantee shall perform all of its construction work at no expense to Grantor. Grantee shall be responsible for obtaining, at its own expense, the requisite approvals and permits for the construction work from any appropriate governmental authorities. Grantee shall be responsible for any taxes or assessments directly attributable to the Grantee Facilities. Grantor shall otherwise pay all real property taxes, assessments, or other governmental charges applicable to Grantor Parcel. Grantee shall maintain Grantee Facilities located in the Easement Area at Grantee’s sole cost and expense. 7. Liens. Grantor shall not suffer or permit the Easement Area to be encumbered by any lien or encumbrance that has priority over this Agreement. Grantor shall provide to Grantee a release, partial release, and/or subordination, non-disturbance, and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) from any and all current beneficiaries of mortgages/deeds of trust, or any other holders of liens on the Grantor Parcel or any portion thereof, whereby such beneficiaries and lien holders agree not to disturb Grantee’s rights under this Agreement in form and substance acceptable to Grantee. If any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien is filed against the Easement Area or the Grantor Parcel as a result of claims made by, against, through, or under Grantee (each a “Grantee Lien”), Grantee shall cause the same to be cancelled, discharged, or bonded over of record within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice thereof. If Grantee shall fail to discharge or contest a Grantee Lien within said time period, then Grantor may at its election, in addition to any other right or remedy available to Grantor, discharge the Grantee Lien by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge by giving security or in such other manner as may be allowed by law. If Grantor acts to discharge or secure the Grantee Lien, then Grantee shall reimburse Grantor for all reasonable sums paid and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of Grantor involving such lien within thirty (30) days after written notice from Grantor. Grantee shall give Grantor written notice within seven (7) days of receipt of notice of any such Grantee Lien. 8. Benefits and Burdens Running with the Grantor Parcel. Grantor covenants with Grantee that Grantor is seized of the Grantor Parcel in fee simple, has the right to convey these easements, that title is marketable and free and clear of all encumbrances except those of record, and that Grantor will warrant and defend the title against the lawful claims of all persons whomsoever. The benefits and burdens, rights and obligations, easements and restrictions created by this Agreement shall run with and burden and be binding upon the Grantor Parcel in perpetuity and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and those claiming by, through, or under them. The covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement shall bind and benefit the successors in interest of the parties hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance when a party hereto is named or referred to, it being understood and agreed that upon any transfer of ownership of all or any part of any of the parcels, each such successor in interest shall thereupon and thereafter assume, and perform and observe, any and all of the obligations of its predecessors in interest under this Agreement. 9. Termination. Grantee may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving Grantor at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. Except as provided herein, no act or failure to act on the part of Grantee or the holder of any interest in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an abandonment, surrender or termination thereof, and shall not impair, terminate or otherwise affect the validity or effectiveness of this Agreement, except upon recordation by such holder of a termination of easement or quit claim deed specifically conveying such Easements back to Grantor. Nonuse of any of the Easements shall not prevent the future use of the entire scope thereof in the event the same is needed. Grantee agrees and hereby covenants to, within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of termination: (i) dismantle and remove all equipment, improvements, fixtures, and other property owned or installed by Grantee on the Easement Area excluding the road and any related roadway improvements, which shall remain in place following termination of this Easement and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the Easement Area to substantially its original condition (reasonable wear and tear and damage by condemnation or casualty excepted) provided, however, that Grantee shall have no obligation to remove the road or related roadway improvements or to restore the Easement Area to its original condition to the extent such restoration would require the removal, disturbance, or alteration of the road or related roadway improvements. All such restoration shall be at Grantee’s sole cost and expense. Grantor shall provide Grantee access to the Grantor Parcel during such one hundred eighty (180) day period as reasonably necessary to effectuate such dismantling, removal, and restoration. Upon the termination of this Agreement and at the request of either party, the parties shall enter into an instrument terminating this Agreement (in recordable form) and such instrument shall be recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. 10. Further Assurances; Cooperation. Each party agrees that it will execute and deliver such other documents and take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the other party to effectuate the purposes and intention of this Agreement. Further, Grantor shall assist and fully cooperate with Grantee (including signing in Grantor’s name, if necessary), at no expense to Grantor, in applying for, complying with or obtaining any land use permits and approvals, building permits, environmental reviews, or any other permits, licenses, approvals or consents required or desired by Grantee for the financing, construction, installation, replacement, relocation, maintenance, repair, operation or removal of Grantee facilities on land adjacent to or nearby the Grantor Parcel and any other improvements made by Grantee. 11. Estoppel. Each party hereto shall from time to time as requested by the other party execute and deliver to the requesting party (or to a party designated), within fifteen (15) days of demand therefor, a written statement which shall confirm that there is no default under this Agreement (or specifying any default) and which shall contain such other information or confirmations as may reasonably be required. 12. Mortgagee Protection. Grantee shall have the right, without Grantor’s prior consent or approval, at any time and from time to time, to mortgage, collaterally assign, or otherwise encumber and grant security interests in all or any part of its interest in this Agreement, the Easements, the Easement Area, or Grantee Facilities (holders of these various security interests are referred to as “Mortgagees”) provided, in no event will such assignment, encumbrance or grant encumber Grantor's underlying fee interest in the Grantor Parcel. No liability for the performance of Grantee's obligations under this Agreement shall attach to or be imposed upon any Mortgagee, unless such Mortgagee forecloses its interest and becomes the grantee under this Agreement, following which the liability shall attach only during the term such Mortgagee directly holds the interest of the grantee under this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated or rejected in connection with a bankruptcy, insolvency, winding up or similar occurrence with respect to Grantee, then Grantor shall give prompt notice thereof to the Mortgagee. Grantor shall, upon written request of Mortgagee, enter a new easement agreement with the Mortgagee or its designee, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such request. Such new easement agreement shall be effective as of the date of such rejection, disaffirmation or termination, and shall be upon the same terms, covenants, conditions and agreements as contained in this Agreement; and, until such time as such new agreement is executed and delivered, Mortgagee or its designee may enter, use and enjoy the Easement Area and conduct operations thereon as if this Agreement were still in effect. As a condition to the execution of such new easement agreement, the Mortgagee or its designee shall (i) pay Grantor any amounts which are due Grantor from Grantee; (ii) pay Grantor any and all amounts which would have been due under this Agreement had it not been terminated, from the date of termination to the date of the new agreement; and (iii) agree in writing to perform or cause to be performed all of the other covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement to be performed by Grantee, to the extent that Grantee failed to perform the same prior to execution and delivery of the new agreement. 13. Right to Cure Defaults; Notice of Defaults. No Grantee shall be in default hereunder without Grantor first having given Grantee (and any Mortgagees) written notice specifying in detail the alleged event of default and the required remedy and providing Grantee (or any Mortgagee) the opportunity to cure any such default. Grantee (or any Mortgagee) shall have at least ninety (90) days after such written notice of default in which to cure. However, if the default cannot be cured within such ninety (90) day period, if a Grantee (or any Mortgagee) has commenced the cure of such default within such ninety (90) day period and is diligently prosecuting the cure of such default to completion, then no Grantee shall be in default hereunder; provided, however, that if Mortgagee has commenced foreclosure or other proceedings to obtain direct or indirect possession or control of some or all of the property and assets of a Grantee, or of the equity interests in such Grantee, is pursuing such proceedings with reasonable diligence and in good faith and has cured all defaults required under this Agreement, Mortgagee shall have a period of the later of (i) ninety (90) days, or (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days after completion of such proceedings, in which to effect a default cure if the default can only be cured by obtaining possession of the Agreement. Grantor shall accept performance of any of Grantee’s covenants or obligations from a Mortgagee. If, upon expiration of the applicable cure period, any such default remains uncured, Grantor may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Grantee no sooner than ten (10) business days prior to such termination. 14. Indemnification. Grantee shall indemnify, defend, and save harmless Grantor, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, legal or administrative actions (formal or informal), expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs), and liability (whether or not such liability has been judicially determined) for loss of or damage to the Grantor Parcel, the Easement Area, or property of others (including environmental damages and hazardous or toxic waste clean-up) and injuries to or death of all persons, howsoever resulting, on account of or based upon the negligent or willful act or omission of Grantee (or any officer, director, employee, agent, or contractor of Grantee); provided, however, that if the loss of or damage to property, or injury to or death of persons, results from the negligent or willful act of Grantor (or any officer, director, employee, agent, or contractor of Grantor), then Grantee’s indemnification, defense, and save harmless obligations shall not be applicable. Grantor shall indemnify, defend, and save harmless Grantee and Grantee Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, legal or administrative actions (formal or informal), expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs), and liability (whether or not such liability has been judicially determined) for loss of or damage to the Grantee Facilities, the Easement Area, or property of others (including environmental damages and hazardous or toxic waste clean-up) and injuries to or death of all persons, howsoever resulting, on account of or based upon the negligent or willful act or omission of Grantor (or any officer, director, employee, agent, or contractor of Grantor); provided, however, that if the loss of or damage to property, or injury to or death of persons, results from the negligent or willful act of Grantee (or any officer, director, employee, agent, or contractor of Grantee), then Grantor’s indemnification, defense, and save harmless obligations shall not be applicable. The provisions of this Section 14 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 15. Relationship of Parties.

Breach; No Waiver. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be enforceable by either party (or its permitted successors or permitted assigns), by actions for specific performance or injunction, in addition to any other remedies available at law. No delay or omission by any party in exercising any right or power accruing upon any noncompliance or failure of performance by the other party under the provisions of this Agreement shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. 19.
