FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED
CRUDE OIL MARKETING AGREEMENT

This First Amended and Restated Crude Oil Marketing Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into this 1st day of August, 2016 (the "Effective Date") by and among Penn Virginia Oil & Gas, L.P. ("PVOG"), Republic Midstream Marketing, LLC ("Republic") and solely for purposes of Article V of this Agreement, Penn Virginia Corporation ("PVOG Guarantor"). PVOG and Republic may be referred to individually as a "Party" or collectively as the "Parties." This Agreement supersedes and replaces that certain Crude Oil Marketing Agreement, dated July 30, 2014, as amended on September 24, 2015, by and between the Parties.

WHEREAS, Republic is making a minimum volume commitment to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Crude & Condensate pipeline ("KMCC");

WHEREAS, PVOG desires to make a minimum volume commitment to sell 8,000 barrels per day of crude oil, and to deliver [***] crude oil (i) produced from PVOG-operated ▇▇▇▇▇ in Lavaca, Fayette, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Counties, Texas (insofar and only insofar as PVOG has the right to market such volumes) and (ii) produced from ▇▇▇▇▇ in Lavaca, Fayette, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Counties, Texas in which PVOG, on or after the Effective Date, resigns as operator (other than any resignation pursuant to a legitimate business purpose (other than circumvention of PVOG's obligations under Article I.3.)) and has the right to take its share of production in kind, to Republic or other parties [***] and to have the option to buy such barrels back at one or more delivery points [***] (the "KMCC Regulations Tariff");

WHEREAS, PVOG is making the Commitment (as defined below) to Republic to support Republic's minimum volume commitment to KMCC;

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth the options available to PVOG to fulfill the Commitment; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth the "form" Crude Oil Sale Agreement to be used by PVOG in the event it wishes to sell barrels outright to Republic (with no re-delivery obligation) at any location.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, terms and conditions herein contained, together with other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
PVOG'S MINIMUM VOLUME COMMITMENT TO REPUBLIC

Minimum Volume Commitment. Subject to any Force Majeure Event and any Enumerated Circumstance (each as defined below), during each month during the Term (as defined below), PVOG agrees to deliver on an aggregate average daily basis at least 8,000 barrels per day of crude oil pursuant to one of the methods set forth in this Agreement (such amount, the "Commitment"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Commitment shall be determined on a monthly basis.


a.	In the event that PVOG's aggregate daily deliveries hereunder during any monthly period are less than the Commitment for that month, and no Over-Delivery Credits are then outstanding, then a deficiency (the "Deficiency") shall exist. PVOG will be obligated to pay to Republic an amount for each deficient barrel equal to the Transportation Deduction (such amount, the "Deficiency Fees").

Republic shall invoice PVOG monthly for any Deficiency Fees. In the event that PVOG ships volumes in excess of the Commitment in any given month, PVOG shall be entitled to a credit against any Deficiency Fees assessed by Republic in the subsequent twelve (12) months, or any Deficiency Fees paid by PVOG in the preceding twelve (12) months, in an amount equal to the surplus barrels multiplied by the Transportation Deduction (each, an "Over-Delivery Credit"). Over-Delivery Credits shall first be applied to any Deficiency Fees paid by PVOG during the preceding twelve (12) months, and shall be credited during the month corresponding to the applicable Over-Delivery Credit.

Over-Delivery Credits shall be applied only to volumes shipped in accordance with Article I, Section 2 below in excess of PVOG's Commitment for that month and shall be applied at all times on a first-in, first-out basis, so that the oldest month's Over-Delivery Credit is fully utilized before application of any subsequent month's Over-Delivery Credit. Over-Delivery Credits shall expire if not used by the end of the twelve (12) month period following the month during which such Over-Delivery Credit was created. At the end of the Term, any remaining unexpired or unutilized Over-Delivery Credits shall expire on the last day of the Term and will not be valid for use against any future shipments on KMCC.


2.	Volumes Credited Toward PVOG's Commitment. Republic shall count toward the satisfaction of the Commitment all volumes shipped under each of the following arrangements:


a.	PVOG Buy-Sell Volumes Delivered to KMCC. All crude oil volumes delivered and sold by PVOG to Republic at the PVOG Delivery Point (as defined below) and redelivered at a Republic Delivery Point (as defined below) pursuant to the provisions of Article II of this Agreement shall count toward the Commitment.


b.	PVOG Outright Sales to Republic. All crude oil volumes sold outright (i.e., with no redelivery option or obligation) by PVOG to Republic at either (i) the CDP (as such term is defined in that certain First Amended and Restated Transportation Agreement by and between Republic Midstream, LLC and PVOG dated the date

US-DOCS\70393074.6

hereof) or (ii) the PVOG Delivery Point pursuant to Article III of this Agreement shall, in either case, count toward the Commitment.


c.	PVOG Outright Sales to Third Parties. All crude oil volumes sold outright by PVOG to third parties at either (i) the CDP or (ii) the PVOG Delivery Point ("Third Party Volumes") shall, in either case, count toward the Commitment so long as the following conditions are met:


i.	Such Third Party Volumes must be transported on KMCC or, if such Third Party Volumes are not transported on KMCC, the third party must pay fees for each such barrel of Third Party Volumes to Republic equivalent to the Transportation Deduction per barrel of Third Party Volumes;


ii.	If such Third Party Volumes are actually shipped on KMCC, the third party must enter into a crude oil purchase and sale agreement with Republic (each, a "Third Party Purchase and Sale Agreement") pursuant to which the third party will sell and deliver the Third Party Volumes to Republic at the PVOG Delivery Point and purchase and receive the Third Party Volumes at a Republic Delivery Point; and


iii.	For the avoidance of doubt, each Third Party Purchase and Sale Agreement shall include a marketing fee of [***] per barrel purchased and sold thereunder (the "Marketing Fee"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Marketing Fee shall not be payable unless and until the Midstream Pipeline (as defined below) is operational. The foregoing fees shall be payable by the third party and not by PVOG.


d.	Letter Agreement Regarding Buy-Sell Marketing Arrangements. The Parties acknowledge the existence of that certain Letter Agreement Regarding Buy-Sell Marketing Arrangements dated May 22, 2015, by and among the Parties and Republic Midstream, LLC, and agree that the terms set forth therein shall be incorporated in this Agreement for all purposes.

[***]. Beginning on the Effective Date and to the extent available, PVOG agrees to deliver (pursuant to one of the methods set forth in this Agreement) [***] crude oil (i) produced from PVOG-operated ▇▇▇▇▇ in Lavaca, Fayette, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Counties, Texas, which shall include volumes attributable to non-operating working interest owners insofar and only insofar as PVOG has the right to market such volumes and the non-operators have not elected to take their share of such production in kind and (ii) produced from ▇▇▇▇▇ in Lavaca, Fayette, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Counties, Texas in which PVOG, on or after the Effective Date, resigns as operator (other than any resignation pursuant to a legitimate business purpose (other than circumvention of PVOG's obligations under this Article I.3.)) and has the right to take its share of production in kind. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PVOG shall be deemed to have satisfied this obligation if the monthly average of the daily volumes delivered in a given month equals or exceeds [***].

PVOG DELIVERY AND SALE TO REPUBLIC AT [***]

Quantity. Each month, PVOG shall provide Republic with written notice as to the nominations and quantity of volumes of crude oil it expects to tender for purchase by Republic at the PVOG Delivery Point during the following month (the "Shipment Schedule").

Republic shall pass through all adjustments to the KMCC Rate Tariff and to the KMCC Regulations Tariff. [***].

Rate Adjustments. The Committed Shipper B Base Rate Transportation Rate shall each first be adjusted effective July 1, 2017, and thereafter, effective on July 1^st of each subsequent year during the Term in an amount not greater than the adjustments that are made each year to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or any successor governmental agency thereto ("FERC") regulated interstate oil pipelines by the application of the annual Oil Pipeline Index published by FERC in advance of the annual July 1st adjustment of each year (the "FERC Index"); provided, however, that the FERC Index shall not be applied to any rates under this Agreement in any year in which the published FERC Index is less than zero.

Contaminated Oil. Should PVOG deliver crude oil to Republic that fails to meet the Specifications (other than if such failure is attributable to third party volumes commingled with PVOG's crude oil while in Republic or Republic Midstream, LLC's (or any applicable successor) control and possession), then PVOG shall pay or reimburse all costs and expense incurred by Republic for the removal, disposal or treatment of PVOG's Off-Spec Product and any damage to KMCC or associated tankage and facilities resulting from such Off-Spec Product, including, but not limited to, damage to crude oil in tankage due to commingling of PVOG's Off-Spec Product in Republic's tankage at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Station. If PVOG desires to tender crude oil outside of the Specifications (excluding any crude oil tendered whereby the nonconformance is attributable to third party volumes commingled with PVOG's crude oil while in Republic or Republic Midstream, LLC's (or any applicable successor) control and possession), such product must first be approved by Republic at Republic's sole discretion.

ARTICLE V
GUARANTEE


1.	Guarantee.

In consideration of Republic entering into this Agreement, PVOG Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Republic the due and punctual performance of each of PVOG's obligations to Republic pursuant to this Agreement (such obligations, the "Guaranteed Obligations"), as and when provided in this Agreement. PVOG Guarantor shall be liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (if not timely paid by PVOG), as set forth in this Article V, as a primary obligor, and not as a mere surety. The guaranty in this Article V is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. If PVOG fails to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due, or any part thereof, PVOG Guarantor shall, on written demand and without further notice of nonpayment, or any other notice whatsoever, pay the amount due and payable thereon to Republic as required per the terms of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for Republic, in order to enforce such payment or performance by PVOG Guarantor, first to institute suit or pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against PVOG or others liable for such payment or performance. PVOG Guarantor's liability hereunder shall be limited to the payment or performance obligations expressly required of PVOG under this Agreement.


b.	PVOG Guarantor hereby agrees that Republic's rights or remedies and all of PVOG Guarantor's obligations under the terms of the guaranty in this Article V shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be released or affected by, or deemed to be satisfied by, and PVOG Guarantor shall not be released (by virtue of any applicable

US-DOCS\70393074.6

law, arrangement or relationship) by, any act or omission to act or delay of any kind by Republic, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other person or entity or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of PVOG Guarantor's obligations hereunder, and the liability of PVOG Guarantor under the guaranty under this Article V shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective thereof.

In the event any payment by PVOG or any other person or entity (other than PVOG Guarantor) to Republic in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is held to constitute a preference, fraudulent transfer or other voidable payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar applicable law, or if for any other reason, Republic is required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other creditor, such payment by PVOG or such other person or entity to Republic shall not constitute a release of PVOG Guarantor from any liability hereunder, and the guaranty under this Article V shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated (notwithstanding any prior release, surrender or discharge by Republic of this Guaranty or of PVOG Guarantor), as the case may be, with respect to, and the guaranty under this Article V shall apply to, any and all amounts so refunded by Republic or paid by Republic to another person or entity (which amounts shall constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations).
