(b) The Royalty is subject to an annual guaranteed minimum royalty of: (i) forty million dollars ($40,000,000) during each of the first five (5) Contract Years of the Initial Term, and (ii) ten million dollars ($10,000,000) during each of the last five (5) Contract Years of the Initial Term ((i) and (ii) collectively, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.6, the “Annual Minimum Royalty”) during the Initial Term; provided, however, that if the Royalty paid during any year of the Initial Term exceeds the Annual Minimum Royalty, the excess amount shall be credited to the next succeeding year on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

No later than the thirtieth (30th) day following the end of each month during the Term, Operator shall deliver to Owner an invoice (“Invoice”) setting forth (i) the Produced Water sales, Recycled Water sales and Fresh Water and Brackish Water sales for which the Operator owes a payment to Owner pursuant to Section 2.5(a) for such subject month, expressed in Barrels and calculated as provided for in Section 2.5(a)(i) – (iii), as applicable and (ii) the Retained Operator Amounts for such month. Operator shall pay in full from the Operating Account any undisputed amounts due as reflected on the applicable Invoice by check or ACH transfer to Owner’s designated bank account on or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days following the end of the month with respect to which such amounts are owed (the “Due Date”). If any undisputed amount due hereunder remains unpaid for sixty (60) days after the Due Date for such statement, interest on such amounts will accrue at the Overdue Rate from the Due Date through and including the date the owing Party actually makes payment.

(b) Shortfall Payment. In the event that the aggregate Royalty paid to Owner during any Contract Year is less than the Annual Minimum Royalty (such deficiency, a “Shortfall”), Operator shall provide Owner with a written report setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such Shortfall (the “Shortfall Report”), together with an invoice for the amount of the Shortfall (the “Shortfall Invoice”), within thirty (30) days following the end of such Contract Year. Operator shall directly pay to Owner the amount set forth in the Shortfall Invoice from Operator’s own funds (and not from the Operating Account) within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Shortfall Report and Shortfall Invoice to Owner.

(d) Audit. At any time on no less than thirty (30) days’ notice (but no more frequently than twice in any twelve (12)-month period), either Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party, conduct an audit of the other Party’s accounts, invoices and other documents related to the Water System and operations pursuant to this Agreement, including records of Produced Water, Recycled Water and Fresh Water and Brackish Water volumes stored, transported, treated, processed, disposed, purchased and sold in the Water System, or other operations with respect to the Water System and calculation of all or any portion of the Royalty. Such examination shall use electronic records or, solely to the extent original documents are required, take place in the office location where such books and records are kept in the normal course of business; provided, that no examination may unreasonably interfere in the ongoing job responsibilities of the personnel of any Party. In the event the Parties mutually determine there was an Operator overpayment, Operator shall be due credit by Owner for the amount of such overpayment on the next succeeding statement following such determination. In the event the Parties mutually determine there was an Operator underpayment, such amount shall be immediately due and payable, and Operator shall pay Owner within thirty (30) days of such determination.

For the avoidance of doubt, such tax payments shall be Operator’s independent obligation as operator of the Water System, and Operator shall not be deemed to be collecting or remitting such taxes on behalf of Owner.

Section 2.10 Maintenance; Maintenance Capital Expenditures.

(a) Operator shall be responsible for the maintenance of the Water System, with such maintenance done in accordance with all applicable Laws, Prudent Industry Practices and otherwise as requested by Owner.

Section 2.11 Owner Performance Rights. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy given to Owner or Operator under this Agreement, if there is a dispute pursuant to Section 2.7(c) or Section 2.7(d) or Operator is otherwise in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including performance of any of the Services, Owner shall provide Operator with a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) detailing the nature of such claimed failure or breach, and shall provide Operator with an opportunity to discuss such claim with Owner (including an opportunity for Operator to describe why Operator disagrees with such claim). Within thirty (30) Days after receipt of such Claim Notice, if such claimed failure or breach has been adequately remedied or resolved, or continues to dispute with Operator whether such failure or breach occurred, Owner shall give Operator a further written notice of Owner’s intent to perform, or cause to be performed by third parties, such obligation or Service of Operator that is the subject of such claim (an “Owner-Performance Notice”); provided, however, if any alleged failure or breach is not reasonably capable of being cured during such thirty (30) Day time period, Owner may not deliver an Owner-Performance Notice until after an additional reasonable period no longer than one-hundred eighty (180) days has elapsed. Following delivery to Operator of such Owner-Performance Notice, Owner shall have the right to perform the applicable obligation or Service or have third parties perform such obligation or Service for so long as is reasonably required to remedy or resolve the applicable failure or breach; provided, that Operator shall remain obligated to perform all of its other obligations hereunder. The fact that any such obligation or Service has been performed or caused to be performed by Owner or third parties shall not preclude Operator from disputing the validity of any such claim of failure or breach, provided that Operator provides Owner with a written protest notice that it protests the performance of such obligation or Service by Owner or third parties. Owner or any third party acting on its behalf shall not interfere with any operations of Operator that are not the subject of an Owner-Performance Notice, and Operator shall not be liable under this Agreement for any non-performance to the extent its operations are interfered with by Owner or any third party acting on its behalf outside the scope of any Owner-Performance Notice.

Section 2.12 Availability of other Rights or Remedies. The rights of Owner under Section 2.11 do not preclude Owner’s exercise of (a) other non-monetary remedies that may be available for such breach, including termination of this Agreement or equitable relief or (b) any remedies (monetary or otherwise) available for other defaults that occur concurrently with, before, or after such breach.

Owner and its designated representatives shall have access to the Water System at all times. Notwithstanding this Section 2.13 and the appointment of Operator hereunder to provide the Services, Owner retains the right to grant its Affiliates or any Third Parties access to and use of the Water System at all times, so long as such access or use does not cause Operator to breach its obligations under this Agreement or the Gathering Agreements.

(A) a government official or an officer or employee of a government or any department, agency or instrumentality of any government;

(E) any candidate for political office; or

(F) any other person, individual or entity at the suggestion, request, or direction, or for the benefit of, any of the above-described persons and entities, in connection with this Agreement.

Section 10.10 Representative of Owner and Operator. At all times, Operator shall have appointed an individual representative (“Operator’s Representative”) authorized and empowered to act for and on behalf of Operator on all matters concerning this Agreement and Operator’s obligations hereunder, and Owner shall have appointed an individual representative (“Owner’s Representative”) authorized and empowered to act for and on behalf of Owner on all matters concerning this Agreement and Owner’s obligations hereunder; provided, however, that neither Operator’s Representative nor Owner’s Representative shall have the authority to amend any provision of this Agreement. Either Party may change the identity of its representative by written notification to the other Party. Owner’s Representative may, in its sole discretion, by notice in writing, issue or rescind any previously issued, standing instructions regarding any of Owner’s obligations hereunder.

Section 10.11 Waiver. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed or shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver, unless otherwise expressly provided.

Section 10.12 Relationship of the Parties. The Parties do not intend to create, and this Agreement shall not be construed to create, a partnership, an association for profit, a trust, agency, joint venture, other relationship of partnership or any fiduciary relationship between the Parties.

Section 10.13 Employees; Independent Contractor. The relationship of Operator (and its employees, agents, contractors, and subcontractors) to Owner is that of an independent contractor, and no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to create any employer-employee relationship between Owner and Operator or any of Operator’s employees, agents, contractors, or subcontractors. All persons employed by Operator or its Affiliates in connection with the performance of this Agreement shall be solely and exclusively employees of Operator or its Affiliates, as applicable, and shall not be deemed to be employees of Owner for any purpose whatsoever. Neither Operator nor any of Operator’s employees, agents, contractors, or subcontractors shall be entitled to any benefits provided by Owner to its employees, including but not limited to workers’ compensation, health insurance, retirement benefits, disability benefits, unemployment insurance, vacation, sick leave, or any other employee benefits of any kind. Operator shall be solely responsible for all compensation, benefits, withholdings, employment taxes, and other obligations with respect to its employees, agents, contractors, and subcontractors. Neither Operator nor any of Operator’s employees, agents, contractors, or subcontractors shall have any authority to act for, bind, or commit Owner or any of its Affiliates to any agreements, obligations, or liabilities, or to otherwise represent or hold themselves out as agents, representatives, or employees of Owner.

Section 10.14 Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement, in whole or in part, are held invalid as a matter of Law, it is the Parties’ intent that such holding not affect the other portions of this Agreement, and that such portions that are not invalid be given effect without the invalid portion.

Section 10.15 Further Assurances. Each Party shall take such acts and execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably required to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.16 Insurance.

(a) Operator shall obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type and in the amounts set forth on Exhibit A-2 (the “Required Insurance”) and shall cause Owner to be named as an additional insured with respect to each of the Required Insurance policies set forth on Exhibit A-2.

(b) Operator shall cause all Required Insurance policies to contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of Owner and each member of the Owner Group with respect to any claims, losses, or liabilities arising out of or related to Operator’s operations under this Agreement or the performance of Operator’s obligations hereunder.

(c) Prior to commencing any operations on the Water System and annually thereafter (or promptly upon any material change, renewal, or replacement of coverage), Operator shall furnish to Owner certificates of insurance evidencing the Required Insurance, in a form reasonably acceptable to Owner. Such certificates shall: (i) identify all policies required under this Section 10.16; (ii) confirm that Owner and the Owner Group are named as additional insureds as required herein; (iii) confirm the waiver of subrogation in favor of Owner and the Owner Group; and (iv) provide that the insurer shall endeavor to provide Owner with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (ten (10) days in the case of non-payment of premium) of any cancellation, material modification, or non-renewal of such policies. Upon Owner’s request, Operator shall provide Owner with copies of the applicable insurance policies (or relevant excerpts thereof) and endorsements.

Section 10.17 Counterpart Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and both of which taken together shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart signature page by PDF is as effective as executing and delivering this Agreement in the presence of the other Party to this Agreement.

Section 10.18 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon anyone, other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or to constitute any Person as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Section 10.19 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance by each Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 10.20 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and their respective Affiliates and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.21 Attorney’s Fees. SHOULD EITHER PARTY BE REQUIRED TO RESORT TO EMPLOYMENT OF ATTORNEYS TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE SUBSTANTIALLY PREVAILING PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE OTHER PARTY FOR THE SUBSTANTIALLY PREVAILING PARTY’S ATTORNEYS’ FEES.

Section 10.22 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder.

Section 10.23 Conspicuousness. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT IS SET FORTH IN THE STYLE OF THIS SECTION 10.23 IS CONSPICUOUS.

Section 10.24 Mutuality of Drafting. The Parties hereby stipulate and agree that each of them fully participated and was adequately represented by counsel in the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement, and the Parties further stipulate and agree that in the event of an ambiguity or other necessity for interpretation to be made of the content of this Agreement, this Agreement will not be construed in favor of or against Owner or Operator as a consequence of one Party having had a greater role in the preparation of this Agreement, but will be construed as if the language were mutually drafted by both Parties with full assistance of counsel.

Section 10.25 Force Majeure. Performance under this Agreement, other than to make payments due, shall be excused in the event any Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by force majeure to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, and, in this regard, it is agreed that, on such Party giving notice in reasonably full particulars of such force majeure, in writing, to the other Party, within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the cause relied on, then the obligations of such Party, so far as they are affected by such force majeure, shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused, but for no longer period, and such cause shall, so far as possible, be remedied with all reasonable dispatch. The term “force majeure” as employed herein means, to the extent not within the reasonable control of the Party claiming force majeure, after the exercise by such Party of due diligence: acts of God; strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; acts of the public enemy, sabotage, terrorist acts, wars, blockades, insurrections, civil disturbances, riots; pandemics, epidemics, quarantines, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods, and washouts; arrests, orders, directives, requisitions, and actions, orders, rules, regulations or restraints of any government and government entity; changes in law after the date of this Agreement; application of governmental curtailment rules and regulations; explosions, breakage, or accident to machinery or lines of pipe; breakdown or accident to electric transmission

lines and freezing of lines of pipe; unavailability, upon commercially reasonable terms, of labor, materials or other services; and other causes, whether of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise, not reasonably within the control of the Party claiming suspension, and which such Party is unable to overcome by the exercise of due diligence. It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes or lockouts is entirely within the discretion of the Party having the difficulty, and that the above requirement that any force majeure be remedied with all reasonable dispatch does not require the settlement of labor disputes, strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of an opposing Party when such course is inadvisable in the discretion of the Party having the difficulty.
