DEDICATION AND PROPERTIES COVERED

2.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract and except as otherwise provided in this Contract, Shipper hereby commits and dedicates exclusively to Gatherer all of the Committed Gas attributable to the Contractually Dedicated Area Interests for the term of this Contract for the purposes provided in this Contract. The commitment and dedication set forth in this Section 2.1 shall be deemed a covenant running with the Dedicated Area and shall be binding on the successors and assigns of Shipper.

2.2 Shipper represents and warrants to Gatherer that when Shipper delivers the Committed Gas to Gatherer during the term hereof, Shipper will have the right to Gather and/or market the Committed Gas produced from the Contractually Dedicated Area Interests, free from liens and adverse claims of every kind and, subject to the reservation of rights described in ITEM 1.1(c), will not waive or consent to any release, termination, or early expiration of any said Contractually Dedicated Area Interests during the term hereof without the express prior written consent of Gatherer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Shipper further represents and warrants that when the Committed Gas is delivered to Gatherer at the Delivery Points that such Committed Gas will be owned or controlled by Shipper and will not be subject to any prior unreleased dedication as of the Effective Date. If after the Effective Date Shipper obtains the right to market and/or Gather gas within the Dedicated Area, then that gas shall become Committed Gas hereunder when Shipper obtains that right except as otherwise provided herein; provided, however, if said gas is subject to prior unreleased written dedication or commitment for the type of services provided for herein, then such interests shall be excluded from dedication hereunder unless and until all such contractual commitments and dedications have expired or are terminated, or have been assigned to Shipper or released. Shipper

shall indemnify, protect, defend, and hold Gatherer harmless from all Losses incurred or suffered by Gatherer arising from and out of claims of any Third Party with respect to the representations and warranties in this ARTICLE 2.2.

2.3 Subject to the terms of this Contract, at the Delivery Points, Shipper will deliver to Gatherer, and Gatherer will receive from Shipper, all of the Committed Gas produced from the Xxxxx insofar as that Committed Gas is attributable to the Contractually Dedicated Area Interest in the Xxxxx.

ARTICLE 3

FEES AND ALLOCATION

3.1 Subject to all other applicable provisions of this Contract and as full consideration for the quantity of Committed Gas Gathered hereunder by Gatherer each month, Shipper shall pay and Gatherer shall accept from Shipper an amount equal to sum of the applicable fees and payments as described in this ARTICLE 3.

3.2.1 The fee for Gathering, compressing, treating, and dehydrating the Committed Gas from the Delivery Point to the Redelivery Point (“Gathering Fee”) shall equal $** per MMBtu multiplied by the Gathered Volume.

3.2.2 Beginning January 1, 2015 and each January 1st thereafter during the term hereof, the Gathering Fee shall be automatically adjusted by the percentage increase or decrease in the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers (“CPI”) as published by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics calculated for the twelve (12) Months immediately preceding the date of escalation; provided, however, the fee shall never be decreased below its initial amount. The Parties shall use the negotiation procedure described in ITEM 11.1 to attempt to resolve any dispute between them regarding any change or adjustment to the CPI. If the Parties fail to fully resolve the dispute, either Party may invoke the binding arbitration procedure described in ITEM 11.6 to resolve it. The Gathering Fee for the immediately preceding calendar year shall remain in effect

until a new Gathering Fee (as well as the effective dates thereof) is agreed upon by the Parties or determined by arbitration, and such agreed upon or determined fee shall be retroactively applied for the applicable new calendar year.

3.2.3 Each Month during the term of this Contract, Gatherer is authorized to utilize a portion of the Committed Gas received from Shipper at each Delivery Point as compression fuel for the operation of Gatherer’s compression equipment hereunder.

3.3 Volume Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Parties agree upon the following:

(a) Gathering Volume Commitment. Shipper shall deliver to Gatherer a quantity, in aggregate, of Committed Gas not less than 125,000 Mcf per Day as averaged for each quarter during each calendar year for the first five (5) years of the Initial Term (“Gathering Volume Commitment”). Subject to ARTICLE 3.3(b) and ARTICLE 3.3(c), in the event Shipper fails to deliver the Gathering Volume Commitment for any applicable calendar quarter, Shipper shall pay Gatherer an amount equal to the product of the (i) Gathering Fee and (ii) positive difference between the Gathering Volume Commitment and the Gathered Volume for such calendar quarter (“Gathering Volume Commitment Deficiency Payment”). Any Gathering Volume Commitment Deficiency Payment made by Shipper to Gatherer hereunder shall be considered liquidated damages and Gatherer’s sole and exclusively remedy regarding the delivery deficiency of the Gathering Volume Commitment.

(b) Relief from Volume Commitment. Shipper shall be excused from delivering any portion of the Gathering Volume Commitment and making payment of any corresponding deficiency payment related thereto only under the following circumstances:

(i) If Gatherer fails to Gather any of the Committed Gas and such failure is not expressly excused hereunder; or

(ii) If, due to an event of Force Majeure, Gatherer is unable to Gather any portion of the Committed Gas for a period greater than ten (10) consecutive days, then for each day beyond said 10-day period, the applicable corresponding deficiency payment shall not apply to the extent of the affected volumes of Committed Gas.

(c) Over/Under Deliveries of Gathering Volume Commitment. If Shipper, during any quarter of a calendar year in which the Gathering Volume Commitment is in effect, delivers to Gatherer an amount of Committed Gas: (i) in excess of the Gathering Volume Commitment for such quarter (“Excess Gathered Amount”), then Shipper shall have the right to credit said Excess Gathered Amount against its Gathering

Volume Commitment for the succeeding calendar quarter; or (ii) that is less than the Gathering Volume Commitment for such quarter (“Deficient Gathered Amount”), then Shipper shall have the right to make-up its Gathering Volume Commitment for such calendar quarter by delivering to Gatherer the Deficient Gathered Amount in excess of the Gathering Volume Commitment for the succeeding calendar quarter. In the event Shipper fails to deliver the Deficient Gathered Amount to Gatherer during said succeeding calendar quarter, then Shipper shall pay Gathering Volume Commitment Deficiency Payment in accordance with ARTICLE 3.3(a).

ARTICLE 4

TERM AND TERMINATION

4.1 This Contract shall be effective from the Effective Date and shall continue and remain in full force and effect for a primary term of ten (10) years (the “Initial Term”) and year-to-year thereafter until terminated by Gatherer or Shipper (i) upon the giving of notice to the other Party of its intention to terminate this Contract at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the Initial term or any extension term or (ii) as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE 4.

4.2 Prior to the termination or expiration of this Contract, each Party shall use its best efforts to negotiate in good faith mutually agreeable services and associated rates in order to extend the term of this Contract. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a certain service, what may or may not be included in said service, or the rate for said service, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with ITEM ELEVEN.

4.3 The termination of this Contract in accordance with this ARTICLE 4 shall not impair, impede or otherwise adversely affect any right, claim or cause of action that a Party may have arising prior to or as a result of that termination, including the right to obtain and receive any payment owing under this Contract.

4.4 This ARTICLE 4.4, ARTICLE 4.3, ARTICLE 4.2, ARTICLE 7.2, and ITEMs 10.7, 10.13, 10.14, and ELEVEN of the Appendix shall survive the termination of this Contract.

ARTICLE 5

DELIVERY/REDELIVERY POINTS AND PRESSURE

5.1 The Delivery Point(s) for the Committed Gas shall be at the inlet flange of Gatherer’s Metering Facilities located near the site of production facilities for each Well, or at other mutually agreeable locations on Gatherer’s Pipeline System. Shipper shall cause the Committed Gas to be delivered at a pressure sufficient to allow the Committed Gas to flow into Gatherer’s Pipeline System at each Delivery Point against the prevailing line pressure at such point but not in excess of the maximum allowable operating pressure

(“MAOP”) of Gatherer’s Pipeline System at such Delivery Point. Gatherer retains the right to set a maximum delivery pressure, relative to Shipper’s deliveries of Committed Gas, so that the system can be operated in an efficient manner (“Maximum Delivery Pressure”); provided, however, it is the Parties’ intent for Gatherer to operate Gatherer’s Pipeline System in a manner that maximizes the amount of Committed Gas to be delivered into the system while allowing Gatherer to optimize the efficiency thereof. If Shipper elects to install compression facilities and Gatherer reasonably determines that there is a pulsation problem because of those compression facilities, then Shipper will install a pulsation dampener (which shall have a design reasonably acceptable to Gatherer) at Shipper’s sole cost and expense, between such compression facilities and Gatherer’s Metering Facilities at the Delivery Point(s).

5.2 The Redelivery Point(s) for the Committed Gas shall be at the inlet to each downstream pipeline’s metering facilities located at mutually agreeable points as further described on Exhibit “B.” Gatherer shall cause the Committed Gas to be delivered at a pressure sufficient to allow the Committed Gas to flow into each downstream pipeline at the Redelivery Point(s) against the prevailing pressure but not in excess of the MAOP of the downstream pipeline at the Redelivery Point(s).

5.3 Shipper shall not be required to provide Gatherer with nominations of the Committed Gas at the Delivery Points. Shipper shall be solely responsible for all nominations and scheduling for the Committed Gas at the Redelivery Points and shall be solely responsible for any costs, penalties, and expenses associated therewith including any imbalances. If Shipper fails for any reason to take or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Committed Gas for any month during the term hereof, then Gatherer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to market said Committed Gas in a commercially reasonable manner; provided, however, that Gatherer shall account to and timely pay Shipper for the proceeds received by Gatherer from the disposition thereof.

ARTICLE 6

NOTICES

6.1 All notices provided for herein shall be in writing and may be sent by facsimile or mutually acceptable electronic means, a nationally recognized overnight courier service, first class mail, or hand delivered to a Party at its applicable address listed below. Notice shall be considered given on the first business day after its receipt by the addressee. In the absence of proof of the actual receipt date, the following presumptions will apply: (i) notices sent by facsimile will be deemed to have been received upon the sending Party’s receipt of its facsimile machine’s confirmation of successful transmission; (ii) notice by overnight mail or courier will be deemed to have been received on the next business day after it was sent or such earlier time as is confirmed by the receiving Party; and (iii) notice via first class mail will be considered delivered five (5) business days after

7.2 In the event (each an “Event of Default”) either Party or, if applicable, its credit support provider (the “Defaulting Party”) shall: (i) make an assignment or any general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (ii) file a petition or otherwise commence, authorize, or acquiesce in the commencement of a proceeding or case under any bankruptcy or similar Law for the protection of creditors or have such petition filed or

proceeding commenced against it; (iii) otherwise become bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced); (iv) be unable to pay its debts as they fall due; (v) have a receiver, provisional liquidator, conservator, custodian, trustee or other similar official appointed with respect to it or substantially all of its assets; (vi) fail to perform any material obligation to the other Party with respect to any credit support obligations relating to this Contract; (vii) fail to give Adequate Assurance of Performance hereunder within 48 hours but at least one business day of a written request by the other Party; (viii) not have paid any material amount due the other Party hereunder on or before the second business day following written notice that such payment is due; or (ix) fail to promptly take and diligently prosecute appropriate actions to remedy a material default or breach of a material covenant or provision hereunder after receiving written notice thereof from the other Party and to remedy such default or breach within thirty (30) days (or longer if such default or breach reasonably requires a longer cure period); then the other Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) shall have the right, at its sole election, to immediately withhold and/or suspend deliveries or payments upon notice, in addition to any and all other remedies available hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Contract to be executed in multiple originals by the proper representatives thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first hereinabove written, but this Contract shall be effective as of the Effective Date.

If Shipper fails to do so promptly after its receipt of such notification, Gatherer may, at its option and without limitation, (i) continue to accept the Committed Gas as delivered by Shipper without charging Shipper any type of fee, cost or expense for such off-spec Committed Gas, (ii) refuse to accept delivery of such Committed Gas pending the correction of the deficiency by Shipper, or (iii) take any action reasonably necessary to conform the Committed Gas with the quality specifications provided in ITEM 2.1, the cost of which shall be charged to Shipper hereunder. Absent exigent circumstance, before Gatherer takes any action under the immediately preceding sentence to conform the Committed Gas to the quality specifications provided in ITEM 2.1, Gatherer shall notify Shipper of such intended action and the estimated cost thereof. After receiving Shipper’s notification, Shipper shall immediately inform Gatherer whether Shipper authorizes Gatherer to conform the Committed Gas to those quality specifications. If Shipper elects not to treat the Committed Gas itself or does not allow Gatherer to treat the Committed Gas, or if Gatherer elects not to treat or blend the Committed Gas to conform the Committed Gas to the quality specifications provided in ITEM 2.1, Gatherer shall, upon the written request of Shipper, permanently release from this Contract all non-conforming Natural gas.

APPENDIX - 4

Notwithstanding this ITEM 2.4, Gatherer shall have the ongoing right to immediately shut off any Committed Gas if Gatherer determines that such Committed Gas threatens the integrity of Gatherer’s Pipeline System or adversely affects downstream facilities or markets.

ITEM THREE

PIPELINE CONNECTION

3.1 It is understood and agreed that Gatherer and Shipper, in accordance with ARTICLE 5.1, have decided, or will at a subsequent point in time decide, upon the location of the Delivery Point for each Well committed hereunder.

3.2 Promptly after Shipper has informed Gatherer that the Committed Gas is or will be ready for delivery to Gatherer from a Well committed to or dedicated to Gatherer under this Contract and such Well is located within three (3) miles of Gatherer’s Pipeline System, Gatherer shall, at its own expense, connect such Well to Gatherer’s Pipeline System. If said Well is greater than three (3) miles from Gatherer’s Pipeline System, then Gatherer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to connect said Well at its sole expense. If Gatherer declines to connect said Well to Gatherer’s Pipeline System, Shipper shall have the right, but not the obligation, to construct the line from that Well to a mutually agreeable point on Gatherer’s Pipeline System where Gatherer’s Metering Facilities shall be provided by Gatherer at Shipper’s sole expense. If neither Gatherer nor Shipper elects to connect any such Well to Gatherer’s Pipeline System, then Gatherer shall promptly provide Shipper, upon Shipper’s written request, with a written release from this Contract insofar as it covers such Well, the Contractually Dedicated Area Interests covering such Well, and the Natural gas produced therefrom or attributable thereto.

ITEM FOUR

Contracted Parties’ applicable facilities covered by this Contract which will shut off deliveries of Committed Gas in the event those Contracted Parties’ delivery pressure reaches or exceeds the Maximum Delivery Pressure, which may be reestablished by the Parties from time to time, or in the event Gatherer has, or the Contracted Parties have, a sudden drop in line pressure. Shipper shall contractually require all applicable Contracted Parties to annually test their respective high-low shut-in devices through which the Committed Gas flows.

(b) Shipper shall furnish any information reasonably requested by Gatherer regarding any Contracted Parties’ high-low shut-in equipment, or delivery lines through which the Committed Gas flows. Shipper shall contractually require Contracted Parties to maintain their respective production equipment at or in the vicinity of the Xxxxx in good condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) at all times in accordance with generally accepted prudent industry practices when producing Xxxxx are connected to Gatherer’s Pipeline System at any Delivery Point.

(c) Upon reasonable notice to Shipper, Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent, at their respective sole risk and expense, shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect and witness any test on any Contracted Parties’ high-low pressure shut-in production equipment at or tied to any Well. In the event of an emergency or the failure of Shipper to regulate the deliveries of Committed Gas when reasonably requested by Gatherer, Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent shall have the right to require Shipper to require the applicable Contracted Parties to shut-off the flow of Committed Gas into Gatherer’s Pipeline System until such emergency no longer exists or Gatherer begins such resumption of deliveries, as applicable, and Gatherer shall not be liable to Shipper for any damage that may result to the Xxxxx or the Contracted Parties’ equipment. If reasonably possible under the circumstances, Gatherer will notify Shipper of any action that Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent intends to take pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence before any such action is taken by Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent. If it is not reasonably possible for Gatherer to notify Shipper before Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent takes any such action, then Gatherer shall notify Shipper of such action promptly after taking such action.

4.2 All Condensate and drip liquids attributable to the Committed Gas accumulating in the drips, separators and/or lines from the respective Xxxxx upstream or downstream of a Delivery Point shall belong to and be owned by Shipper. Gatherer and Shipper shall determine a mutually agreeable location(s) for the delivery of such Condensate and drip liquids and Shipper shall be solely responsible for the disposition of such Condensate and drip liquids from said location(s).

4.3 In the event the oxygen content of the Committed Gas tendered at any Delivery Point does not conform with the quality specifications set forth in ITEM 2.1 above, Shipper

APPENDIX - 6

shall, at the request of Gatherer, procure and install (or cause to be procured and installed), at Shipper’s expense, an oxygen analyzer and control device on Shipper’s facilities covered by this Contract that will shut off deliveries of Committed Gas in the event the oxygen content of the Committed Gas tendered at any Delivery Points does not conform with the quality specifications set forth in ITEM 2.1. Shipper shall annually test, or cause the owner of such facilities to annually test, such analyzer and control device to confirm its proper operation.

ITEM FIVE

QUANTITY

5.1 Gatherer shall provide Gathering services to Shipper on a Firm Basis up to the physical and operational capacity of Gatherer’s Pipeline System as exists as of the Effective Date. During the time hereof and as to the physical and operational capacity of Gatherer’s Pipeline System as exists as of the Effective Date, Shipper shall have the highest priority of any shipper on Gatherer’s Pipeline System and Shipper’s capacity on Gatherer’s Pipeline System shall not be prorated with respect to any other shipper unless required by applicable Law.

5.2 Subject to the other provisions of this Contract, Shipper shall deliver to Gatherer at the Delivery Points, and Gatherer shall receive from Shipper at the Delivery Points, all of the Committed Gas produced from the Dedicated Area attributable to the Contractually Dedicated Area Interests. Upon receipt of the Committed Gas at the Delivery Points, Gatherer shall Gather the Committed Gas and redeliver to Shipper at the Redelivery Points all of the Committed Gas.

5.3 During any period when the capacity of Gatherer’s Pipeline System is constrained to Gather, transport, compress and/or treat all of the gas connected thereto, the volumes of Committed Gas subject to ARTICLE 3.3 shall not be reduced by Gatherer prior to the reduction of other shippers’ gas volumes unless required by applicable Law. Gatherer’s failure to take said constrained volumes of Committed Gas shall not be deemed a breach of Gatherer’s obligations hereunder.

5.4 In the event Gatherer, in its sole discretion, agrees to allow Shipper to deliver the Committed Gas hereunder “full wellstream,” then in addition to the provisions set forth above in ITEM 5.1 and notwithstanding the provisions of ITEM 4.2, Shipper may also deliver to Gatherer at the Delivery Points all liquids and any produced saltwater (or any similar nuisance liquids) attributable to Shipper from such Xxxxx. Gatherer shall receive and handle all volumes of liquids and saltwater (or any similar nuisance liquids) attributable to Shipper pursuant to the terms herein and then redeliver to Shipper equivalent volumes of liquids and saltwater (and any similar nuisance liquids) at a mutually agreeable facility. Shipper shall then dispose of the liquids and saltwater at its sole cost and risk.

APPENDIX - 7

5.5 The Parties recognize that certain quantities of gas and/or electricity will be used to fuel or power compression equipment and for operational purposes, and that gas may be lost, gained, and/or unaccounted for on Gatherer’s Pipeline System. Shipper shall provide Gatherer with its pro rata volumetric share of such fuel and gas lost, gained, and/or unaccounted for in-kind relative to all sources of gas into Gatherer’s Pipeline System and Shipper shall reimburse Gatherer with its pro rata volumetric share of electrical power costs relative to all sources of gas into Gatherer’s Pipeline System.

5.6 If at any time Gatherer is unable or fails for any reason to receive any quantity of Committed Gas available by Shipper under this Contract (absent Shipper’s failure to deliver the Committed Gas to Gatherer), the affected quantity of Committed Gas made available by Shipper and not taken by Gatherer shall be temporarily released from this Contract. Shipper may, at its sole option and in addition to any other rights and remedies Shipper may have hereunder, at law or in equity, deliver all or any portion of the Committed Gas temporarily released from this Contract to an alternative pipeline or purchaser. This temporary release shall cease and Shipper shall resume delivery of the affected Committed Gas to Gatherer when Gatherer has notified Shipper that the cause of Gatherer’s inability or failure to receive has been completely alleviated and Gatherer is ready, willing, and able to begin receiving the Committed Gas again. Upon the earlier of Shipper’s receipt of Gatherer’s notice or at such time when Shipper is legally or contractually able to do so (but in no event greater than 90 Days), Shipper shall resume deliveries to Gatherer.

5.7 Provided that Gatherer is able to meet its obligations to Shipper under the terms of this Contract, this Contract shall not preclude Gatherer from providing Gathering services to Third Parties.

ITEM SIX

MEASUREMENT

6.1 The unit of volume for the measurement of Committed Gas shall be one (1) Cubic Foot of gas. All fundamental constants, observations, records and procedures involved in determining and/or verifying the quantity and other characteristics of Committed Gas delivered hereunder, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be in accordance with the standards prescribed in the American Petroleum Institute Xxxxxx of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 14, Section 3 (Latest Revision).

6.2 Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent shall, install, maintain and operate a Gatherer’s Metering Facility located on Gatherer’s Pipeline System at each Delivery Point and the Redelivery Point. At each such Gatherer’s Metering Facility, Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent will install, maintain and operate orifice meters or other measuring devices that meet accepted standards prescribed in the American Petroleum Institute Manual of Petroleum

APPENDIX - 8

Measurement Standards, Chapter 14, Section 3 (Latest Revision). Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent may also install Electronic Flow Meters (EFM), which if installed, will be designed, install, and operated in accordance with generally accepted prudent natural gas industry standards. Each such Gatherer’s Metering Facility shall be so equipped with orifice meters, recording gauge, or other types of pneumatic or electronic meters or measuring devices of standard make and design commonly utilized in the natural gas industry in order to accomplish the accurate measurement of gas flowing through such equipment. Gatherer shall maintain all such meters, devices, gauges, and equipment in good operating condition in accordance with generally accepted prudent natural gas industry standards. Shipper will have access to Gatherer’s metering equipment and information received from such metering equipment at reasonable hours. Each Contracted Party will have access to any such equipment and information if that Contracted Party’s Committed Gas flows through said equipment. If a meter station is set up with a chart recorder, the changing of charts shall be done by Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent and Gatherer shall provide Shipper with a copy thereof upon reasonable request. The maintaining, calibrating and adjusting of all meters and related measurement facilities shall be done by Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent in accordance with generally accepted prudent natural gas industry standards and practices. The measuring stations located at any Redelivery Point may be installed, maintained and operated by a Third Party in conformity with the requirements provided in this ARTICLE 6.2 and the Parties agree that the volume, quality, Gross Heating Value, and specific gravity determined by such Third Party in accordance with this Contract shall be utilized in this Contract as if determined by Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent hereunder.

6.3 Shipper or any applicable Contracted Party may, at its option and expense, install a check meter or meters at any or all Delivery Points for the purpose of checking Gatherer’s or Gatherer’s Agent’s metering equipment. Any such check meter shall be installed in such a way so as not to interfere with the operations of Gatherer’s Pipeline System. The operating, maintaining, calibrating and adjusting of such check meters and related measurement equipment shall be performed or caused to be performed by Shipper or such Contracted Party in accordance with generally accepted prudent natural gas industry standards and practices.

6.4 When chart measurement is used, the temperature of the Committed Gas shall be the arithmetical average of the hourly temperatures accurately recorded during each day by Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent. The temperature of the Committed Gas flowing through the meter shall be determined by the use of a temperature measuring device operated in accordance with generally accepted prudent natural gas industry standards and installed immediately downstream of the meter so that it will accurately record the temperature of the Committed Gas flowing through the meter. If a temperature measuring device is not available at any Delivery Point, the average temperature from other temperature measuring devices in the Gatherer’s Pipeline System, which are in reasonably close vicinity to such Delivery Point will be used.

APPENDIX - 9

6.5 Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent shall, at each Delivery Point, Redelivery Point, or any other measurement point where such measured quantities are used in the allocation of system fuel and/or losses, calibrate the meters and instruments, in accordance with generally accepted prudent natural gas industry practices, and obtain a representative spot or composite sample on a frequency to be reasonably determined by Gatherer in accordance with generally accepted prudent natural gas industry practices, but not less often than twice each year or more frequently as required under applicable Law.

6.6 The computation from fractional analysis of samples of Committed Gas, as provided for in ITEM 6.5, will be used to determine the composition, specific gravity, GPMs, and Gross Heating Value of the hydrocarbon components of the Committed Gas samples. The computations so determined will be used for quality tests and in calculating Committed Gas deliveries as described in ITEM 6.7 below with the first day of the month following the date the sample is taken.

6.7 The Gross Heating Value of the Committed Gas will be determined by Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent by taking samples, as provided for in ITEM 6.5, at Gatherer’s Metering Facilities. Gatherer will obtain a representative spot or composite sample of Committed Gas delivered at each Delivery Point or Redelivery Point. Gatherer will determine the composition, specific gravity, GPMs, and Gross Heating Value of the hydrocarbon components of the Committed Gas to conform to Gas Gatherers Association Standards GPA 2166, GPA 2261, and GPA 2172, and any supplements and revisions thereto. For all purposes hereunder, including, pricing and payment, the Gross Heating Value of and the number of Btus contained in the Committed Gas shall mean, and be measured in terms of, the gross number of Btus that would be contained in the volume of such Committed Gas when saturated with water at the pressure and temperature as defined in the Cubic Foot of gas herein; provided, however, in the event the Committed Gas contains less than seven (7) pounds per million cubic feet of water, then any such Committed Gas shall be deemed to be dry and measured on a dry basis. The Btus contained in hydrogen sulfide or other non-hydrocarbon components shall be excluded in any calculation of the number of Btus contained in the Committed Gas under this Contract.

6.8 Each Party shall have the right to be present at the time of any installation, reading, cleaning, changing, repairing, inspecting, testing, calibrating, or adjustment performed in connection with the other Party’s measuring equipment. The records involving measuring equipment shall remain the property of their owner, but upon request each Party agrees to submit to the other its records and charts, together with calculations made therefrom subject to return within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof by the Party owning them. EFM data and charts shall be kept on file for a period of at least two (2) years.

APPENDIX - 10

6.9 Samples shall be taken, as provided for in ITEM 6.5, by Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent to determine compliance with the gas specifications in ITEM 2.1. Each Party as well as any applicable Contracted Party shall have the right to be present at the time such samples are taken. Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent shall give Shipper no less than five (5) days prior notice of such tests.

6.10 As provided for in ITEM 6.5, each Party (at its sole expense) shall calibrate the meter and instruments installed by it or cause the same to be calibrated, all in accordance with generally accepted prudent natural gas industry standards and practices. Each Party shall give the other Party no less than five (5) days prior notice of such tests so that the latter may, at its election, be present in person or by its representative to observe adjustments (if any) which are made. For the purpose of measurement and meter calibration, the atmospheric pressure shall be assumed to be 14.4 pounds per square inch.

6.11 Each Party shall have the right at any time and from time to time to challenge the accuracy of any measurement equipment used by the other Party in connection with this Contract. If the percentage of inaccuracy upon any test of the measurement equipment is greater than two percent (2%) of the corrected quantity, the registration thereof and any payment based upon such registration shall be corrected at the rate of such inaccuracy for any period of inaccuracy which is reasonably determinable or agreed upon. If the period is not reasonably determinable or agreed to, then for a period extending back one-half (1/2) of the time elapsed since the date of the last calibration, not to exceed ninety (90) days. Following any test, any measurement equipment found to be inaccurate shall be adjusted or repaired to measure accurately, or replaced if such adjustment is not successful. If for any reason any meter is out of service or out of repair so that the quantity of Committed Gas delivered through such meter cannot be accurately ascertained or computed from the readings thereof, the quantity of Committed Gas so delivered during such period shall be estimated and agreed upon by the Parties upon the basis of the best available data, using the first of the following methods which, under the circumstances, is most feasible:

(a) by using the registration of any check measuring equipment of Shipper or the applicable Contracted Party, if installed and registering accurately;

(b) by correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, test or mathematical calculation;

(c) by estimating the quantity of deliveries by deliveries during preceding periods under similar conditions when the equipment was registering accurately.

APPENDIX - 11

ITEM SEVEN

PAYMENT

7.1 As soon as is reasonably practicable, but no later than the twenty-fifth (25th) Day following the end of each month, Gatherer or Gatherer’s Agent shall furnish Shipper a statement for the preceding month accurately and completely depicting the Gathered Volume and all information necessary for the calculation thereof; the quantities of Committed Gas (in Mcf and MMBtu) received; any amounts due pursuant to ARTICLE 3.3 and all information necessary for the calculation thereof (provided, however, that any payment and related information pertaining to ARTICLE 3.3 shall be due the month following the applicable calendar quarter in which the calculation was made taking into consideration any period of time for make-up volumes of Committed Gas); any applicable fees, taxes, and/or payments; and the total amount due Gatherer for such production Month. Shipper shall pay Gatherer the amount on said statement on or before the last Day of the Month following the applicable production Month. If a Party fails to pay any undisputed amount due hereunder on or before such payment become delinquent, then interest shall accrue at a per annum rate of interest equal to the lower of: (i) the maximum lawful rate or (ii) the then effective London Inter/Bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) rate plus six (6) percent.

7.2 As between Shipper and Gatherer, Shipper shall make proper settlement and accounting to the applicable Contracted Party or all the owners of interest in the proceeds from the sale of Committed Gas, including royalty, overriding royalty and production payment interest owners, to which Shipper is contractually or otherwise legally obligated to make.

7.3 In the event an error is discovered by either Gatherer or Shipper in any statement, invoice, or payment, such error shall be adjusted within thirty (30) days of the determination thereof; provided that a written claim therefore shall have been received and made within twenty-four (24) months from the date of such statement or payment in error.

7.4 Gatherer and Shipper shall each have the right to examine at all reasonable times and locations the books, records, ledgers, and charts of the other to the extent necessary to verify or audit the accuracy of any payment, statement, invoice, xxxx, chart, or computation made under or pursuant to this Contract but only for such purposes.

ITEM EIGHT

FORCE MAJEURE

8.1 In the event either Party is unable wholly or in part by “Force Majeure” as defined in ITEM 8.2, to carry out its obligations under this Contract, other than financial obligations, it is agreed that on such Party giving notice and full particulars of such Force Majeure by telephone (as soon as reasonably possible) and confirmed in writing to the

APPENDIX - 12

other Party after the occurrence of the cause relied on, then the obligations of the Party giving such notice, so far as they are affected by such Force Majeure, from its inception, shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused, but for no longer period. Said cause shall be, as far as reasonably possible, remedied with all reasonable dispatch.

8.2 The term “Force Majeure” as used herein shall mean acts of God, strikes, lockouts, or other material industrial disturbances, acts of the public enemy, wars, blockades, insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods, washouts, arrests and restraints of the government, either federal, state or tribal, inability of any Party to obtain necessary materials, supplies, or permits due to existing or future Laws, interruption or curtailment of transportation or storage by Third Parties, scheduled maintenance, interruptions by government or court orders, present and future orders of any regulatory body having proper jurisdiction, civil disturbances, explosions, sabotage, breakage or accident to machinery or lines of pipe, the necessity for making repairs or alterations or the performance of tests to machinery or lines of pipe, freezing of lines of pipe, partial or entire failure of Xxxxx, irrespective of whether such Xxxxx or machinery or lines of pipe are operated by either of the Parties, and any other causes whether of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise not within the control of the Party claiming suspension and which by the exercise of due diligence such Party could not have prevented or is unable to overcome. The term Force Majeure shall also include the inability to acquire, or the delays in acquiring, necessary permits, right-of-way, easements or licenses required to enable a Party to fulfill its obligation hereunder if such Party exercised its commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to acquire same.

8.3.1 The settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party having the difficulty, and the above-requirement of the use of diligence in restoring normal operating conditions shall not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the terms of the opposing Party when such course is inadvisable in the discretion of the Party having the difficulty.

ITEM NINE

TAXES

9.1 Shipper shall pay, or cause to be paid, all taxes and assessments levied and imposed under applicable Law upon the Committed Gas except as otherwise specifically provided in this ITEM NINE. Subject to ITEM 9.3 below, neither Party shall be responsible nor liable for any taxes or other statutory charges levied or assessed against any of the facilities of the other Party used for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Contract.

APPENDIX - 13

9.2 Shipper shall make, or cause to be made, all reports required by applicable Law with respect to gross production or severance taxes applicable to the Committed Gas, unless Gatherer has such obligation under applicable Law.

9.3 (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Contract, if any regulatory body having proper jurisdiction over the Gatherer’s Pipeline System imposes any new Laws (“Regulatory Change(s)”) which requires Gatherer to pay any fee, tax, assessment, charge, or other cost on the carbon, greenhouse gases, or Btu content of the Committed Gas or the constituents associated therewith (collectively, “Carbon Fee”) and such Regulatory Changes do not require any modification or alteration to Gatherer’s Pipeline System, then Gatherer shall have the right to recover from Shipper the actual Carbon Fee attributable to the Committed Gas and the constituents associated therewith resulting from such Regulatory Changes. Gatherer may invoice Shipper monthly for the Carbon Fee that Gatherer reasonably believes that it will incur associated with the Regulatory Changes. If Gatherer invoices Shipper for such costs, Shipper shall pay Gatherer the amount invoiced within thirty (30) days from receipt thereof. Gatherer shall adjust the estimated costs of the Carbon Fee to the actual costs of the Carbon Fee when such actual costs are available and shall adjust its invoicing (or netted amounts as the case may be) to Shipper to reflect the actual costs of the Carbon Fee incurred by Gatherer. The difference between the estimated costs invoiced by Gatherer and the actual costs associated with the Regulatory Changes will bear interest at the rate described in ITEM 11.6(j) herein and will accrue interest from the dates billed or withheld and such difference and accrued interest will be payable to the party to whom it is owed within ten (10) business days following receipt of an invoice for such amounts from such Party.

(b) In the event Gatherer is required by applicable Law to pay any Carbon Fee as a result of any Regulatory Changes and if any of those Regulatory Changes require a modification, change, or alteration of Gatherer’s Pipeline System in order to comply therewith, then Gatherer and Shipper shall amend this Contract to permit Gatherer to recover the actual costs incurred by Gatherer to comply with those Regulatory Changes insofar as attributable to the Committed Gas and the constituents associated therewith. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon such amendment to this Contract that will permit recovery by Gatherer for all such costs. In the event the Parties cannot agree upon such an amendment incorporating the foregoing within sixty (60) days from the date Gatherer becomes obligated to make payment, then all disputed issues associated with the proposed amendment shall be subject to resolution in accordance with the provisions of ITEM 11 herein. Upon reaching a resolution, whether by mutual agreement or ITEM 11, such resolution will retroactively apply to the Contract as of the date those Regulatory Changes became effective without the necessity of a formal written amendment to this Contract.

Notwithstanding the requirement for negotiation,

APPENDIX - 20

prior to the constitution of the arbitration tribunal and thereafter as necessary to enforce the arbitrators’ rulings or in the absence of the jurisdiction of the arbitrators to rule on interim measures in a given jurisdiction, any Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for interim measure, and the Parties agree that seeking and obtaining such measures shall not waive the right to arbitration. Furthermore, notwithstanding the above provisions regarding negotiation, if either Party deems that time is of the essence in resolving the dispute, it may initiate arbitration and seek interim measures, as provided herein, and then comply with the requirements for negotiations as long as they are fully completed before the commencement of the final hearing on the merits in the arbitration proceeding.
