ARTICLE VIII
WATER OPTION; PIPELINE PARTICIPATION

Section 8.1 Option in Favor of Antero Midstream.

(a) Antero Midstream shall have the option (the “Water Option”), for a period of two years following the date of this Agreement, to purchase, in its sole discretion, the Water Assets at fair market value.

(b) Consideration and Procedures.

(i) If Antero Midstream exercises the Water Option by means of delivering a written exercise notice to Contributor, within 30 days following the delivery of such notice to Contributor, Contributor must propose to Antero Midstream, in writing, a purchase price for the Water Assets, which Antero Midstream may accept or reject in its sole discretion. If Antero Midstream rejects such purchase price, Antero Midstream and Contributor shall engage in good faith negotiations to decide upon a mutually agreeable purchase price for the Water Assets.

(ii) If Antero Midstream is unable to agree with Contributor on a mutually acceptable purchase price after good faith negotiations by both Parties pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i), Contributor will nominate three independent investment banking firms and Antero Midstream will select one of those firms (the “Investment Bank”) to determine the fair market value of the Water Assets. Once

the Investment Bank submits its valuation, Antero Midstream will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the Water Assets at the price determined by the Investment Bank.

(iii) Antero Midstream may pay the purchase price for the Water Assets in cash or in Common Units. If Antero Midstream elects to pay the purchase price in Common Units, the Common Units will be valued at a 5% discount to the volume-weighted average price of the Common Units during the ten trading days prior to the date of the agreement pursuant to which Antero Midstream is to acquire the Water Assets.

(c) Until the expiration of the Water Option, Contributor may not Transfer any Water Asset without Antero Midstream’s prior written consent (other than to an Affiliate of Contributor who agrees in writing that such Water Asset remains subject to the provisions of this Section 8.1 and assumes the obligations under this Section 8.1 with respect to such Water Asset).

(d) If Antero Midstream exercises the Water Option and purchases the Water Assets, Contributor and NewCo shall enter into the Water Services Agreement.

Section 8.2 Right of First Offer.

(a) Contributor hereby grants to Antero Midstream a right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) beginning two years following the date of this Agreement on the Water Assets to the extent that Antero Midstream has not previously exercised the Water Option and Contributor proposes to Transfer any Water Asset (other than to an Affiliate of Contributor who agrees in writing that such Water Asset remains subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2 and assumes the obligations under this Section 8.2 with respect to such Water Asset).

(b) Procedures.

(i) If Contributor proposes to Transfer any Water Asset (other than to an Affiliate as described in Section 8.2(a)) (a “Proposed Transaction”), Contributor shall, prior to entering into any such Proposed Transaction, first give notice in writing to Antero Midstream (the “ROFO Notice”) of its intention to enter into such Proposed Transaction. The ROFO Notice shall include any material terms, conditions and other details as would be reasonably necessary for Antero Midstream to make a responsive offer to enter into the Proposed Transaction with Contributor, which terms, conditions and details shall include any material terms, condition or other details Contributor would propose to provide to non-Affiliates in connection with the Proposed Transaction. Antero Midstream shall have 15 days following receipt of the ROFO Notice to propose an offer to enter into the Proposed Transaction with Contributor (the “ROFO Response”). The ROFO Response shall set forth the terms and conditions (including the purchase price Antero Midstream proposes to pay for the Water Asset and the other terms of the purchase) pursuant to which Antero Midstream would be willing to enter into a binding agreement for the Proposed Transaction. If no ROFO Response is delivered by Antero Midstream within such 15-day period, then Antero Midstream shall be deemed to have waived its Right of First Offer with respect to such Water Asset, and Contributor shall be free to enter into a Proposed Transaction with any third person on terms and conditions determined in the sole discretion of Contributor.

(ii) If Antero Midstream submits a ROFO Response, Antero Midstream and Contributor shall negotiate, in good faith, the terms of the purchase and sale of the ROFO Asset for 10 days following the receipt of the ROFO Response by Contributor. If Contributor and Antero Midstream are unable to agree on such terms during such 10-day period, Contributor may Transfer the ROFO Asset to any third person on terms and conditions determined in the sole discretion of Contributor.

(c) If Antero Midstream purchases the Water Assets pursuant to the Right of First Offer, Contributor and NewCo shall enter into the Water Services Agreement; provided, however, that if Antero Midstream purchases less than all of the Water Assets, the Parties shall negotiate, in good faith, appropriate modifications to the Water Services Agreement.

Section 8.3 Pipeline Participation. If Contributor intends to, has the option to or otherwise proposes to enter into any arrangements to become an equity owner in a regional pipeline project (including projects similar to the Pipeline Projects), Contributor shall, in lieu of entering into any such transaction, direct the ability to participate in any such transaction to Antero Midstream.

This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and any reference to a Party will also be a reference to a successor or permitted assign. For the avoidance of doubt, the conversion of a Party to a different legal form or the merger of a Party with a newly-formed entity for the principal purpose of converting such Party to a different legal form shall not be deemed an assignment of any rights or obligations under this Agreement.

Section 9.3 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Colorado, excluding any choice of Law rules which may direct the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 9.4 Consent to Jurisdiction, Etc.; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents and agrees that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related document shall exclusively be brought in the courts of the State of Colorado, in Arapahoe County or the federal courts located in the District of Colorado. The Parties agree that, after such a dispute is before a

court as specified in this Section 9.4 and during the pendency of such dispute before such court, all actions with respect to such dispute, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. Each of the Parties hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any legal dispute, that it is not subject thereto or that such dispute may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court or that its property is exempt or immune from execution, that the dispute is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the dispute is improper. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any dispute described in this Section 9.4 after the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Laws. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE IRREVOCABLY ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR OTHERWISE RELATED HERETO.

Section 9.5 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by Law, the Parties waive any provision of Law which renders any such provision prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 9.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Facsimile or scanned and emailed transmission of any signed original document or retransmission of any signed facsimile or scanned and emailed transmission will be deemed the same as delivery of an original.

Section 9.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or will be construed, to confer upon or give any Person other than the Parties, and their successors or permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, or result in such Person being deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, except that, from and after Closing, NewCo shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement solely for the purpose of enforcing Section 2.4 and the indemnitees that are expressed to be in its favor.

Section 9.8 Amendment; Waiver.

(a) Any amendment, extension or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by both Contributor and Antero Midstream.

(b) A waiver by a Party of the performance of any covenant, agreement, obligation, condition, representation or warranty will not be construed as a waiver of any other covenant, agreement, obligation, condition, representation or warranty. A waiver by any Party of the performance of any act will not constitute a waiver of the performance of any other act or an identical act required to be performed at a later time.

Section 9.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents executed pursuant to this Agreement supersede all negotiations, agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and constitute the entire agreement between the Parties.

Section 9.10 Further Cooperation. From and after the Closing Date, each of the Parties shall deliver to the others such further information and documents and shall execute and deliver to the others

such further instruments and agreements as the other Party shall reasonably request to consummate or confirm the transactions provided for in this Agreement, to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Transaction Costs. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party will be responsible for its own legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution or performance of this Agreement.

Section 9.12 Construction.

(a) This Agreement has been freely and fairly negotiated between the Parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any Law will be deemed also to refer to such Law as amended, modified, succeeded or supplemented from time to time and in effect at any given time, and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” do not limit the preceding terms or words and shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “day” and “days” mean and refer to calendar day(s). The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited.

(b) The titles, captions and table of contents contained in this Agreement are inserted in this Agreement only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of any provision of this Agreement.
