SHIPPER COMMITMENTS

Section 2.1 Shipper’s Dedication. Subject to Section 2.2 through Section 2.4, (a) Shipper exclusively dedicates and commits to deliver to Gatherer, as and when produced, all Dedicated Production for gathering through the Gathering System under this Agreement, including (in the case of Dedicated Gas) High Pressure gathering and compression in the System Compressor Stations, and (b) Shipper agrees not to deliver any Dedicated Production to any other gathering system or compressor station.

Section 2.2 Conflicting Dedications. Shipper shall have the right to comply with each of the Conflicting Dedications set forth in Exhibit E hereto and any other Conflicting Dedication entered into by a non-Affiliated predecessor-in-interest to Shipper that is applicable as of the date of acquisition thereof to any Dedicated Property acquired

after the Effective Date (but not any entered into in connection with such acquisition); provided, however, that Shipper shall have the right to comply with Conflicting Dedications only until the first Day of the Month following the termination of such Conflicting Dedication and shall not take any voluntary action (including the exercise of any right to extend) to extend the term of such Conflicting Dedication beyond the minimum term provided for in the document evidencing such Conflicting Dedication. Shipper represents that, except as set forth in Exhibit E, Dedicated Production is not as of the Effective Date subject to any Conflicting Dedication. If Dedicated Production produced from a Well on a Well Pad is subject to a Conflicting Dedication that Shipper has the right to comply with under this Section 2.2, Shipper has the right, in complying with such Conflicting Dedication, to deliver all Dedicated Production from such Well Pad in accordance with the Conflicting Dedication, even if all Xxxxx on such Well Pad are not subject to such Conflicting Dedication.

Section 2.3 Shipper’s Reservations. Shipper reserves the following rights with respect to Dedicated Production for itself and for the operator of the relevant Dedicated Properties: (a) to operate Xxxxx producing Dedicated Production as a reasonably prudent operator in its sole discretion, including the right, but never the obligation, to drill new Xxxxx, to repair and rework old Xxxxx, to renew or extend, in whole or in part, any Oil and Gas Interest covering any of the Dedicated Properties, and to cease production from or abandon any Well or surrender any such Oil and Gas Interest, in whole or in part, when no longer deemed by Shipper to be capable of producing Production in paying quantities under normal methods of operation; (b) to use Dedicated Production for operations (including reservoir pressure maintenance and drilling or fractionation fuel); (c) to deliver or furnish to Shipper’s lessors and holders of other existing similar burdens on production such Production as is required to satisfy the terms of the applicable leases or other applicable instruments; (d) to acquire Xxxxx connected to existing gathering systems and to continue to deliver to such gathering systems Production produced from such Xxxxx, provided that, to the extent that Production from such Xxxxx constitutes Dedicated Production, Shipper delivers a Connection Notice to Gatherer with respect to any such Well not later than 30 Days after its acquisition and thereafter delivers Production to such gathering system only until Gatherer has connected such Well to the Gathering System in accordance with Section 3.3; (e) to pool, communitize, or unitize Shipper’s Oil and Gas Interests with respect to Dedicated Production, provided that the share of Production produced from such pooled, communitized, or unitized Oil and Gas Interests shall be committed and dedicated to this Agreement; and (f) to gather Liquid Hydrocarbons produced from the Marcellus formation in trucks.

Section 2.4 Covenant Running with the Land. The dedication and commitment made by Shipper under this Article 2 is a covenant running with the land. For the avoidance of doubt and in addition to that which is provided in Section 18.4, in the event Shipper sells, transfers, conveys, assigns, grants, or otherwise disposes of any or all of its interest in the Dedicated Properties, then any such sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, grant, or other disposition shall be expressly subject to this Agreement and any instrument of conveyance shall so state. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shipper shall be permitted to sell, transfer, convey, assign, grant, or otherwise dispose of Dedicated Properties free of the dedication hereunder (i) in a sale or other disposition in which a number of net acres of Dedicated Properties that, when added to the total of net acres of Dedicated Properties theretofore and, where applicable, simultaneously disposed of free of dedication hereunder pursuant to this Section 2.4, does not exceed the

aggregate number of net acres of Dedicated Properties acquired by Gatherer after the Effective Date, including in a transaction in which Dedicated Properties are exchanged for other properties located in the Dedication Area that would be subject to dedication hereunder or (ii) in a sale of Xxxxx located on Dedicated Properties that are pooled or unitized with the properties of third parties that are not Dedicated Properties if Shipper is not the operator of such unit; provided, however, that any such sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, grant or other disposition of Dedicated Properties shall not include, and there shall be expressly excluded therefrom, any Well that is or has been connected to the Gathering System (whether producing, shut-in, temporarily abandoned or which has been spud or as to which drilling, completion, reworking or other well operations have commenced) or which is located on a Well Pad for which a Connection Notice has previously been delivered by Shipper (unless the completion of such Well has been delayed and Shipper has paid the costs and expenses incurred by Gatherer in connection therewith in accordance with Section 3.3(d)). At the request of Gatherer, the Parties shall execute and record an amendment to the memorandum of this Agreement previously entered into, as provided in Section 18.16, to reflect additions to the Dedicated Properties.

Section 2.5 Additional Oil and Gas Interests or Gathering Facilities.

(a) If Shipper acquires any existing gathering facilities gathering Gas from any Oil and Gas Interests, it shall, by notice to Gatherer on or before the 10th Day after such acquisition, which notice shall include a reasonable description of such gathering facilities and such Oil and Gas Interests (including an update to the Development Plan reflecting such Oil and Gas Interests) and the price paid by Shipper for such gathering facilities, including any liabilities assumed by Shipper, offer to sell to Gatherer such gathering facilities, including all Low Pressure Gas gathering pipelines, High Pressure Gas gathering pipelines, compressor stations, Gas dehydration facilities, receipt points, delivery points, measurement facilities, Condensate handling facilities, rights of way, fee parcels, surface rights, and permits, and all appurtenant facilities, as well as any third party shipper contracts for Gas gathered on such gathering facilities, at the same price at which such gathering facilities were acquired by Shipper, including the assumption of any liabilities with respect thereto assumed by Shipper. Gatherer shall have the right, to be exercised by notice to Shipper on or before the 60th Day after Shipper’s notice of its acquisition of such gathering facilities, to acquire such gathering facilities at such price (including the assumption of such liabilities). If Gatherer does not give such notice to Shipper on or before such 60th Day, Gatherer shall be deemed to have waived its right to acquire such gathering facilities, except in the case of a third party gathering offer as provided below, and (i) Shipper shall have the right to own and operate such facilities to gather the Gas from the Oil and Gas Interests described in such notice and/or (ii) Shipper shall have the right to solicit proposals from a third party gatherer to acquire, own, and operate such facilities to gather the Gas from the Oil and Gas Interests described in such notice on the basis that Shipper will dedicate to such gatherer all Oil and Gas Interests owned by Shipper the Gas from which is being gathered by such gathering facilities as well as the area (including all geological strata and production zones) within two miles of any such Oil and Gas Interest. If Shipper obtains any such third party proposal, it shall, by notice to Gatherer, provide Gatherer with all the terms and conditions thereof, and Gatherer shall have the right to elect, by notice to Shipper on or before the 60th Day after its receipt of Shipper’s notice containing the terms and conditions of such proposal, to acquire such gathering facilities and provide such services on the same terms and conditions as those offered by the third party gatherer. If Gatherer does not so elect on or before such 60th

Day, Gatherer shall be deemed to have waived its right to acquire such gathering facilities and provide such services, and Shipper shall have the right to contract with such third party gatherer to acquire such facilities and to provide such services on such terms and conditions and to dedicate to such gatherer all Oil and Gas Interests owned by Shipper the Gas from which is being gathered by such gathering facilities as well as the area (including all geological strata and production zones) within two miles of any such Oil and Gas Interest. If Gatherer elects to acquire such gathering facilities, the closing of Gatherer’s purchase of such gathering facilities from Shipper shall take place as soon as reasonably practicable following Gatherer’s exercise of its right to acquire such gathering facilities. From and after the closing of such purchase by Gatherer, all Oil and Gas Interests owned by Shipper the Gas from which is being gathered by such gathering facilities shall be Dedicated Properties, the area (including all geological strata and production zones) within two miles of any such Dedicated Property shall become part of the Dedication Area, and such gathering facilities shall be deemed to be part of the Gathering System. In any transaction in which Shipper so acquires gathering facilities, Shipper shall use reasonable efforts to cause the transaction documents for such acquisition to state a separate purchase price (and separately state any assumed liabilities) for such gathering facilities. If notwithstanding such reasonable efforts the transaction documents for such acquisition do not state a separate purchase price, the purchase price to be paid by Gatherer to Shipper for such gathering facilities shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of such gathering facilities, and Gatherer shall assume all liabilities in respect of such gathering facilities to the extent arising from the ownership and operation of such gathering facilities and/or any occurrence from and after the closing of the purchase of such gathering facilities by Gatherer.

(b) If at any time Shipper desires to construct, own, and operate, or to have constructed and operated, gathering facilities to gather Gas from Oil and Gas Interests located outside the then-existing Dedication Area, Shipper shall, by notice to Gatherer specifying (i) the facilities it desires and the receipt points and delivery points it plans to connect, (ii) the Oil and Gas Interests acquired by Shipper the Gas from which will be gathered using such facilities, and (iii) a proposed update to the Development Plan reflecting the Xxxxx to be drilled on such Oil and Gas Interests during the period of at least 18 Months after such notice, including production forecasts for all such Xxxxx, offer to Gatherer the opportunity to construct, own, and operate such facilities as part of the Gathering System on the terms set forth in this Agreement. Gatherer shall have the right, to be exercised by notice to Shipper on or before the 60th Day after Shipper’s notice, to elect to construct, own, and operate such facilities. If Gatherer exercises such right, from and after the date of Gatherer’s notice of exercise, all Oil and Gas Interests owned by Shipper described in Gatherer’s notice shall be Dedicated Properties, the area (including all geological strata and production zones) within two miles of any such Dedicated Property shall become part of the Dedication Area, such gathering facilities as they are constructed shall be deemed to be part of the Gathering System, and the proposed development plan included in Shipper’s notice shall become part of the Development Plan. If Gatherer does not give such notice to Shipper on or before such 60th Day, Gatherer shall be deemed to have waived its right to construct, own, and operate the facilities set forth in Shipper’s notice as part of the Gathering System on the terms set forth in this Agreement, except in the case of a third party gathering offer as provided below, and (1) Shipper shall have the right to construct, own, and operate such facilities to gather the Gas from the Oil and Gas Interests described in such notice or (2) Shipper shall have the right to solicit proposals from a third party gatherer to construct, own, and operate such facilities to gather the Gas from the Oil and Gas Interests described in such notice on the

basis that Shipper will dedicate to such gatherer all Oil and Gas Interests described in such notice as well as the area (including all geological strata and production zones) within two miles of any such Oil and Gas Interest. If Shipper obtains any such third party proposal, it shall, by notice to Gatherer, provide Gatherer with all the terms and conditions thereof, and Gatherer shall have the right to elect, by notice to Shipper on or before the 60th Day after its receipt of Shipper’s notice containing the terms and conditions of such proposal, to construct, own, and operate such facilities to gather the Gas from the Oil and Gas Interests described in such notice on the same terms and conditions as those offered by the third party gatherer. If Gatherer does not so elect on or before such 60th Day, Gatherer shall be deemed to have waived its right to provide such services, and Shipper shall have the right to contract with such third party gatherer to provide such services on such terms and conditions and to dedicate to such gatherer the Oil and Gas Interests described in such notice as well as the area (including all geological strata and production zones) within two miles of any such Oil and Gas Interest.

(c) If at any time Shipper desires Services consisting of gathering Liquid Hydrocarbons from any Oil and Gas Interests of Shipper the Production from which has not already become Dedicated Production pursuant to this Section 2.5(c), including any such Services to be provided through any existing facilities acquired or being acquired by Shipper (“Acquired Facilities”), Shipper shall, by notice to Gatherer, request from Gatherer a proposal to provide such Services on the terms set forth in this Agreement (such notice, a “Request for Proposal”). Each Request for Proposal shall (i) specify the Oil and Gas Interests from which such Liquid Hydrocarbons would be gathered, (ii) specify the proposed Delivery Points to which such Liquid Hydrocarbons would be delivered, (iii) in the case of Acquired Facilities, provide a reasonable description of such Acquired Facilities and the price paid or proposed to be paid by Shipper for the Acquired Facilities, including any liabilities assumed by Shipper, and details of any third-party contracts for Liquid Hydrocarbons gathering on such Acquired Facilities, and (iv) a proposed update to the Development Plan for the Xxxxx to be drilled on such Oil and Gas Interests from which such Liquid Hydrocarbons would be gathered during the period of at least 18 Months after the Request for Proposal, including production forecasts for all such Xxxxx. Gatherer shall have the right, to be exercised by notice to Shipper on or before the 60th Day after the Request for Proposal (such notice, a “Proposal Notice”), make a proposal to provide such Services for the Liquid Hydrocarbons gathering fees set forth in such Proposal Notice and otherwise on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Concurrently with or following its Request for Proposal to Gatherer, Shipper may seek proposals from third parties to provide such Services on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. On or before the 60th Day after a Request for Proposal with respect to which Gatherer has given a Proposal Notice, Shipper shall inform Gatherer that (1) it is accepting Gatherer’s Proposal Notice, (2) it is accepting a proposal from a third party for such Services on the basis that the gathering fees proposed by such third party for providing such Services on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement were lower than the gathering fees proposed by Gatherer, or (3) it has elected not to acquire such Services or to carry out such Services itself and is accordingly withdrawing its Request for Proposal. If Gatherer’s proposal is accepted, Gatherer shall, as applicable, (A) construct and operate such facilities so as to provide such Services on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement such that it commences the performance of such Services within 18 Months after the date of Shipper’s Request for Proposal and/or (B) as soon as reasonably practicable accept the transfer from Shipper of any Acquired Facilities and commence providing Services through such Acquired Facilities. If Gatherer’s proposal is accepted, all Liquid

Hydrocarbons Production from the Oil and Gas Interests referred to in Shipper’s Request for Proposal or from any other Oil and Gas Interests at any time owned by Shipper (in each case including all geological strata and production zones) within two miles of any such Oil and Gas Interests shall become Dedicated Production, such gathering facilities as they are constructed and/or such Acquired Facilities, as applicable, shall be deemed to be part of the Gathering System, and the proposed Development Plan update included in Shipper’s notice shall become part of the Development Plan. If a third party proposal is accepted as provided above or if Gatherer does not deliver a Proposal Notice, Gatherer shall be deemed to have waived its right under this Section 2.5(c) to provide the requested Services, and Shipper shall have the right to contract with such third party to provide such Services to Shipper on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the fees set forth in such third party’s proposal, including if applicable the transfer of any Acquired Facilities to such third party, and Shipper shall have the right to dedicate to such third party all Liquid Hydrocarbons Production from the Oil and Gas Interests referred to in Shipper’s Request for Proposal and from any other Oil and Gas Interests at any time owned by Shipper (in each case including all geological strata and production zones) within two miles of any such Oil and Gas Interest described in such notice as well as the area. If Shipper does not enter into an agreement with a third party in accordance with this Section 2.5(c) on or before the 90th Day after Shipper’s Request for Proposal, the Services that were the subject of such Request for Proposal shall again become subject to this Section 2.5(c). In respect of any Acquired Facilities, Shipper shall use reasonable efforts to cause the transaction documents for the acquisition thereof to state a separate purchase price (and separately state any assumed liabilities) for such Acquired Facilities. If, pursuant to this Section 2.5(c), Gatherer is to acquire from Shipper any Acquired Facilities, such acquisition shall be made at the same price at which such Acquired Facilities were acquired by Shipper, including the assumption of any liabilities with respect thereto assumed by Shipper. If the transaction documents for Shipper’s acquisition of such Acquired Facilities did not state a separate purchase price for such Acquired Facilities, the purchase price to be paid by Gatherer to Shipper for the Acquired Facilities shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Acquired Facilities, and Gatherer shall assume all liabilities in respect of the Acquired Facilities to the extent arising from the ownership and operation of the Acquired Facilities and/or any occurrence from and after the closing of the purchase of the Acquired Facilities by Gatherer.

Section 2.6 Priority of Dedicated Production. Dedicated Production tendered under this Agreement shall be Firm Capacity Production.

ARTICLE 3

Section 3.2 Development Plan; Gathering System Plan; Exchange and Review of Information.

(a) The Initial Development Plan describes the planned development, drilling, and production activities relating to the Dedicated Properties through the date that is 18 months after the Effective Date (such plan, as updated as hereinafter provided, and including any proposed development plan that becomes part of the Development Plan pursuant to Section 2.5(b), the “Development Plan”). Following the Effective Date, Shipper shall provide Gatherer an updated Development Plan describing the planned development, drilling, and production activities relating to the Dedicated Properties for the 18-Month period commencing on the date of such updated Development Plan on or before the last Day of each Month. Each Development Plan will include (i) information as to the Xxxxx that Shipper expects will be drilled during such period (each such Well reflected in a Development Plan, a “Planned Well”), information as to each Well Pad expected to be constructed during such period (each such Well Pad reflected in a Development Plan, a “Planned Well Pad”) and the approximate locations thereof, the earliest date on which one or more Xxxxx at each such Well Pad are expected to be completed, and the Delivery Points at which Gas produced from such Xxxxx is to be redelivered to Shipper and (ii) good faith and reasonable production forecasts for all Xxxxx connected as of, and estimated to be connected to the Gathering System during the 18-Month period following, the date of such Development Plan (to the extent not previously provided or, if earlier provided, as revised in Shipper’s good faith estimation). Shipper shall make its representatives available to discuss the Development Plan from time to time with Gatherer and its representatives, in order to facilitate advance planning for expansion or improvement of the Gathering System and to address other matters relating to the construction and installation of additions to the Gathering System. Shipper may provide updated or amended Development Plans to Gatherer at any time and shall provide its then-current Development Plan to Gatherer from time to time on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after Gatherer’s request therefor.

(b) Attached hereto as Exhibit F is a Gathering System plan describing and/or depicting the Gathering System, including all pipelines, all Receipt Points and Delivery Points, and all compression and dehydration facilities and other major physical facilities, together with their locations, sizes and other physical specifications, operating parameters, capacities, and other relevant specifications, and together with a schedule for completing the construction and installation of the planned portions thereof, in each case as currently in existence, under construction, or planned (such plan, as updated as hereinafter provided, the “Gathering System Plan”). Based on the Development Plans and such other information about the expected development of the Dedicated Properties as shall be provided to Gatherer by or on behalf of Shipper, Gatherer shall periodically update the Gathering System

Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Gatherer shall ensure that the Gathering System Plan reflects each Monthly Development Plan not later than 30 Days after such Development Plan is delivered. Gatherer shall make the Gathering System Plan available for inspection by Shipper and its representatives from time to time and shall make representatives of Gatherer available to discuss the Gathering System Plan from time to time with Shipper and its representatives. Gatherer shall provide Shipper updates not less frequently than monthly on the progress of work on all facilities necessary to connect Planned Xxxxx to the Gathering System and to connect the Gathering System to the Delivery Points as set forth in the then-current Gathering System Plan.

(c) The Parties recognize that the plans for the development of the Dedicated Properties set forth in the Development Plans, as well as all information provided by Shipper to Gatherer regarding its intentions with respect to the development of the Dedicated Properties, are subject to change and revision at any time at the discretion of Shipper, and that such changes may impact the timing, configuration, and scope of the planned activities of Gatherer. The exchange of such information and any changes thereto shall not give rise to any rights or liabilities as between the Parties except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and Gatherer shall determine at its own risk the time at which it begins to work on and incur costs in connection with particular Gathering System expansion projects, including the acquisition of rights of way, equipment, and materials. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Shipper has no obligation to Gatherer under this Agreement to develop or produce any hydrocarbons from the Dedicated Properties or to pursue or complete any drilling or development on the Dedicated Properties, whether or not envisioned in the Development Plan.

Section 3.3 Expansion of Gathering System; Connection of Well Pads; Delivery Points.

(a) The Gathering System shall be designed, developed, and constituted for the purpose of providing Services as and when needed to support the upstream development of the Dedicated Properties, and Gatherer shall be obligated, at its sole cost and expense, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to plan, procure, construct, install, own, and operate the Gathering System so as to timely connect the Planned Xxxxx to the Gathering System, connect the Gathering System to Delivery Points on the Downstream Pipelines or at the Processing Plants specified by Shipper, and timely commence providing the full scope of Services, with respect to all Dedicated Production produced from the Planned Xxxxx from and after their completion, all in accordance with this Section 3.3; provided, that the foregoing shall not preclude Gatherer from also designing, developing and constituting the Gathering System to accommodate Third Party Production.

(b) In planning the Gathering System, Gatherer shall use its discretion in determining when to construct and install separate and segregated facilities in the same geographical area for the purposes of handling Production with different characteristics (for example, hydrocarbon-dry versus hydrocarbon-wet Gas); provided, however, that if Shipper requests that Gatherer construct and install separate facilities, Gatherer shall, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do so.

(c) Gatherer shall be obligated to connect Xxxxx at a particular Well Pad to the Gathering System only if Gatherer has received from Shipper a notice in the form of Exhibit G hereto (or in such form as Shipper and Gatherer shall otherwise agree from time to time) stating that Shipper intends to drill and complete such Xxxxx at such Well Pad (a “Connection Notice”) and setting forth the target completion date for drilling and completion of such Xxxxx (the “Target Completion Date”), and the expected production from such Well Pad over the next eighteen (18) months. Following receipt of a Connection Notice, Gatherer shall cause the necessary facilities to be constructed to connect the Planned Xxxxx referred to in such Connection Notice to the Gathering System and to commence the Services with respect to Dedicated Production produced from such Planned Xxxxx. Such facilities shall be available to receive Dedicated Production from Planned Xxxxx on the Planned Well Pad on which such Planned Xxxxx are to be located as soon as reasonably practicable following the Connection Notice and in any event on or before the later to occur of (1) the Target Completion Date with respect to such Planned Well Pad, (2) the date that is 180 Days after the Connection Notice, and (3) the date on which the initial Planned Well(s) at such Planned Well Pad has reached its projected depth and is ready for completion (the later of such dates, with respect to such Planned Well Pad, the “Completion Deadline”). Gatherer shall provide Shipper notice promptly upon Gatherer’s becoming aware of any reason to believe that it may not be able to connect a Planned Well Pad to the Gathering System by the Target Completion Date therefor or to otherwise complete all facilities necessary to provide the full scope of Services with respect to all Dedicated Production from Xxxxx on such Planned Well Pad by the Target Completion Date therefor. If and to the extent Gatherer is delayed in completing and making available such facilities by a Force Majeure event or any action of Shipper that is inconsistent with the cooperation requirements of Section 3.9, then the Completion Deadline for such connection shall be extended for a period of time equal to that during which Gatherer’s completion and making available of such facilities was delayed by such events or actions. If such facilities are not completed and made available by the Completion Deadline, as Shipper’s sole and exclusive remedies for such delay,

(i) the Dedicated Production from such Planned Well Pad shall be temporarily released from dedication hereunder until such time as such Planned Well Pad is connected to the Gathering System and the Gathering System is ready to receive Dedicated Production produced from such Planned Well Pad and to commence the Services with respect thereto; and

(ii) Shipper shall have the right to complete the procurement, construction and/or installation of any rights or facilities necessary to connect the relevant Planned Well Pad to the Gathering System, to connect the Gathering System to the relevant Delivery Point, and/or to permit Dedicated Production from Planned Xxxxx at the Planned Well Pad to be received into the Gathering System and delivered to the relevant Delivery Point, in which case Gatherer shall pay to Shipper an amount equal to 115% of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Shipper in so procuring, constructing, and/or installing such rights and facilities, and Shipper shall convey all such rights and facilities to Gatherer and such rights and facilities shall thereafter be part of the Gathering System.

The remedies set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be applicable to Xxxxx with Completion Deadlines that are 180 Days or more after the Effective Date.

(d) If the actual completion of the initial Planned Well at a particular Planned Well Pad is delayed more than 30 Days after the Target Completion Date for such Planned Well Pad and the Gathering System is connected to such Planned Well Pad and available to commence providing the Services with respect to all Dedicated Production from such Planned Well prior to the date such initial Planned Well has reached its projected depth and is ready for completion, Gatherer shall be entitled to a fee equal to interest per annum at the Wall Street Journal prime rate on the incremental cost and expense incurred by Gatherer to procure, construct and install the relevant rights and facilities to connect to such Planned Well Pad and to cause such facilities to be available to commence providing Services thereto for the number of Days after the Target Completion Date until the Day that the first Well at such Planned Well Pad is completed; provided, however, that if such first Well has not been completed by the date that is six months after the Target Completion Date for such Well or, as of an earlier date, Shipper notifies Gatherer that it has elected not to complete any Planned Xxxxx at such Planned Well Pad, Shipper shall pay to Gatherer an amount equal to 115% of all reasonable incremental costs and expenses incurred by Gatherer in procuring, constructing and installing such rights and facilities to connect the Gathering System to such Planned Well Pad and to cause such facilities to be available to commence providing Services thereto, and Gatherer shall assign, transfer, and deliver to Shipper all rights and facilities (including equipment, materials, work in progress, and completed construction) the costs and expenses of which have so been paid by Shipper, to Shipper. If Shipper so pays Gatherer and later completes a Well at such Planned Well Pad, or if such facilities are later used to connect a completed Well at a different Planned Well Pad or for a third party, Gatherer shall refund to Shipper such amount paid by Shipper, and Shipper shall retransfer such rights and facilities to Gatherer.

(e) A Connection Notice shall be deemed to have been given for the Planned Xxxxx set forth on Exhibit H hereto, the Target Completion Date for which shall be as set forth Exhibit H. Such Connection Notice shall be deemed to have been given for each such Planned Well 180 Days prior to such Target Completion Date.

(f) Shipper shall have right to specify in the Development Plan or in a Connection Notice that Dedicated Gas produced from a particular Well be redelivered to Shipper at a particular Delivery Point, including a Delivery Point on any Downstream Pipeline. Gatherer shall be obligated, at Gatherer’s cost, to provide connections to the Delivery Points set forth on Exhibit B. If Shipper specifies that Shipper’s Gas is to be delivered to a Delivery Point not described on Exhibit B that is not at such time connected to the Gathering System, Gatherer shall, at Shipper’s sole cost, risk, and expense, provide a connection to such Delivery Point. All such Delivery Points shall be provided with all interconnection facilities and other Delivery Point facilities (including any Measurement Facilities), and with sufficient capacities, necessary to permit Shipper’s Gas to be redelivered at such Delivery Point in accordance with this Agreement (with all expansions of capacity at such Delivery Points, including the Delivery Points described on Exhibit B, being at Shipper’s sole, cost, risk, and expense). Subject to the

foregoing, Gatherer shall connect each Well to the Gathering System such that Gas from such Well can be redelivered to the Delivery Point described in the Development Plan.

Section 3.4 Compression.

(a) The Gathering System Plan will describe the compression facilities that will be required to compress Dedicated Gas upstream of the Delivery Points or any System High Pressure Line in order for the Gathering System to be operated at the pressures specified in Section 8.1 and to permit Dedicated Gas to enter the facilities of the Downstream Pipelines or Processing Plants, as applicable (“Required Compressor Stations”). Gatherer shall install each such Required Compressor Station as directed by Shipper and shall operate and maintain each Required Compressor Station (each such Required Compressor Station so installed by Gatherer, a “System Compressor Station”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gatherer shall not be obligated to install any Required Compressor Station during the ten year period immediately prior to the scheduled termination of this Agreement unless Shipper agrees that this Agreement shall remain in effect beyond the scheduled termination thereof as to such Required Compressor Station only and the Minimum Compression Revenue Commitment with respect thereto until the 10th anniversary of the placement in service of such Required Compressor Station. To the extent that Shipper does not direct Gatherer to install any Required Compressor Station as, when, and where described in the Gathering System Plan and as a consequence the Gathering System is not capable of operating in accordance with the obligations of Gatherer with respect to pressures that are set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2, Gatherer shall be relieved from such obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, Gatherer shall have the right at any time to add additional compressor stations to the Gathering System, and to add compression capacity at any System Compressor Station in addition to the capacity that Shipper has directed to be installed at such System Compressor Station, as it deems necessary or appropriate to provide the Services and such services as it is providing in respect of Third Party Production. Shipper must pay the Compression Fee with respect to all its Gas that is compressed using such additional compressor stations or using such additional capacity, but such additional compressor stations or additional capacity shall not be included for purposes of calculating the Minimum Compression Volume Commitment, and the Compression Fee paid by Gatherer for its Gas compressed using such additional compressor stations or additional capacity shall not count toward the Minimum Compression Revenue Commitment.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that inlet Measurement Facilities and a slug catcher have not been installed at the System Compressor Station referred to in the Initial Gathering Plan as the Bluestone Compressor Station. Shipper agrees that if it sells or otherwise transfers any Well upstream of the Bluestone Compressor Station such that Gas owned by a third party is being gathered to the Bluestone Compressor Station, Gatherer will install such Measurement Facilities and a slug catcher at the Bluestone Compressor Station, and Shipper will reimburse Gatherer’s reasonable costs of doing so.

Section 3.5 High Pressure Services. The Gathering System Plan will describe the High Pressure gathering pipelines that Gatherer determines are necessary or appropriate to connect the Gathering System to the Gas Delivery Points required by Shipper and to redeliver the volumes of Dedicated Gas to be redelivered at such Delivery Points in the most efficient manner (“Required High Pressure Lines”). Gatherer shall install each such Required High

Pressure Line, together with the associated Required Compressor Stations, as directed by Shipper and shall operate and maintain each Required High Pressure Line (each such Required High Pressure Line so installed by Gatherer, a “System High Pressure Line”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gatherer shall not be obligated to install any Required High Pressure Line during the ten year period immediately prior to the scheduled termination of this Agreement unless Shipper agrees either that this Agreement shall remain in effect beyond the scheduled termination thereof as to such Required High Pressure Line only and the Minimum High Pressure Revenue Commitment with respect thereto until the 10th anniversary of the placement in service of such Required High Pressure Line. To the extent that Shipper does not direct Gatherer to install any Required High Pressure Line as, when, and where described in the Gathering System Plan and as a consequence the Gathering System is not capable of operating in accordance with the obligations of Gatherer with respect to pressures that are set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2, Gatherer shall be relieved from such obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, Gatherer shall have the right at any time to add additional High Pressure gathering pipelines to the Gathering System as it deems necessary or appropriate to provide the Services and such services as it is providing in respect of Third Party Production. Shipper must pay the High Pressure Gathering Fee with respect to all its Gas that is gathered through such additional High Pressure gathering pipelines, but such additional High Pressure Gathering Pipelines shall not be included for purposes of calculating the Minimum High Pressure Volume Commitment, and the High Pressure Gathering Fee paid by Gatherer for its Gas gathered through such additional High Pressure gathering pipelines shall not count toward the Minimum High Revenue Commitment.

Section 3.6 Liquids Gathering. If Gatherer provides Liquid Hydrocarbons gathering pursuant to Section 2.5(c), Shipper is responsible for the construction, ownership, and operation of (a) all facilities for the separation and/or collection of Liquid Hydrocarbons at the wellhead and the Well site storage of such liquids and (b) the pumps located at each Receipt Point to transfer Liquid Hydrocarbons from such storage into the Gathering System. Shipper shall ensure that pumps have sufficient capacity and are operated in a manner sufficient to cause the Liquid Hydrocarbons received into the Gathering System to be redelivered into the tanks located at the Liquid Hydrocarbons Delivery Points. Shipper shall cause Liquid Hydrocarbons to be received into the Gathering System at reasonably uniform rates of flow and to provide Gatherer reasonable notice of material increases or decreases in such rates of flow.

Section 3.7 Production Removed for Lease Operations. Gatherer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate, at the cost and expense of Shipper, any request by Shipper to redeliver to Shipper any Production that has been received into the Gathering System that Shipper desires to use in lease operations, including for drilling and fractionation fuel. Shipper shall be responsible for the construction, ownership, and operation of facilities to transport such Production from the point of redelivery of such production from the Gathering System to the lease sites where such Production will be used.

Section 3.8 Right of Way and Access. Gatherer is responsible for the acquisition of rights of way, crossing permits, licenses, use agreements, access agreements, leases, fee parcels, and other rights in land right necessary to construct, own, and operate the Gathering System, and all such rights in land shall be solely for use by Gatherer and shall not be shared with Shipper, except as otherwise agreed by Gatherer; provided that Shipper hereby grants, without warranty of title, either express or implied, to the extent that it has the right to do so without the incurrence

of material expense, an easement and right of way upon all lands covered by the Dedicated Properties, for the purpose of installing, using, maintaining, servicing, inspecting, repairing, operating, replacing, disconnecting, and removing all or any portion of the Gathering System, including all pipelines, meters, and other equipment necessary for the performance of this Agreement; provided, further, that the exercise of these rights by Gatherer shall not unreasonably interfere with Shipper’s lease operations or with the rights of owners in fee, and will be subject to Shipper’s safety and other reasonable access requirements applicable to Shipper’s personnel. Shipper shall not have a duty to maintain the underlying agreements (such as leases, easements, and surface use agreements) that such grant of easement or right of way to Gatherer is based upon, and such grants of easement or right of way will terminate if Shipper loses its rights to the property, regardless of the reason for such loss of rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Shipper will assist Gatherer to secure replacements for such terminated grants of easement or right of way, in a manner consistent with the cooperation requirements of Section 3.9, (ii) to the extent that Shipper agrees that Gatherer’s Measurement Facilities may be located on Shipper’s Well Pad sites, Shipper shall be responsible for obtaining any necessary rights to locate such Measurement Facilities on such Well Pad sites, and (iii) Shipper shall use reasonable efforts to involve Gatherer in Shipper’s negotiations with the owners of lands covered by the Dedicated Properties so that Shipper’s surface use agreements and Gatherer’s rights of way with respect to such lands can be concurrently negotiated and obtained.

Section 3.9 Cooperation. Because of the interrelated nature of the actions of the Parties required to obtain the necessary permits and authorizations from the appropriate Governmental Authorities and the necessary consents, rights of way and other authorizations from other Persons necessary to drill and complete each Planned Well and construct the required extensions of the Gathering System to each Planned Well Pad, the Parties agree to work together in good faith to obtain such permits, authorizations, consents and rights of way as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, all as provided herein. The Parties further agree to cooperate with each other and to communicate regularly regarding their efforts to obtain such permits, authorizations, consents and rights of way.

ARTICLE 4
TERM

Section 4.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier by mutual agreement of the Parties, shall continue in effect until the twentieth (20th) anniversary of the Effective Date and from year to year thereafter (with the initial term of this Agreement deemed extended for each of any such additional year) until such time as this Agreement is terminated, effective upon an anniversary of the Effective Date, by notice from either Party to the other Party on or before the one hundred eightieth (180th) Day prior to such anniversary.

ARTICLE 5
FEES AND CONSIDERATION

Section 5.1 Fees.

Lost and Unaccounted For Gas shall be allocated, on a Monthly basis, to each Receipt Point based upon a fraction, the numerator of which is the total Thermal Content of Gas measured at such Receipt Point during such Month, and the denominator of which is the total Thermal Content of Gas measured at all System Receipt Points on the System Segment on which such Receipt Point is located during such Month.

Section 6.2 Allocation of Fuel. Gatherer shall allocate Fuel (included Gas used as Fuel and the cost of electricity used as Fuel), on a Monthly basis, to each Receipt Point upstream of a System Compressor Station on a pro rata basis, based upon a fraction, the numerator of which is the total volume of Gas measured at such Receipt Point during such Month, and the denominator of which is the total volume of Gas measured at all System Receipt Points upstream of such System Compressor Station during such Month. Gas consumed for Fuel shall be determined based actual measurements of Fuel consumption.

Section 6.3 Allocation of Condensate Recovered from the Gathering System. Gatherer shall allocate the volume of Condensate collected from any System Segment (or from facilities at compressor stations downstream of System Delivery Points on such System Segment and allocated to the Gathering System by the operator of such compressor station) to each System Receipt Point on such System Segment during the applicable Month based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the theoretical volume of Condensate attributable to such System Receipt Point during such Month and the denominator of which is the total theoretical volume of Condensate for all such System Receipt Points on such System Segment during such Month. The theoretical volume of Condensate at each System Receipt Point shall be determined by

multiplying the total volume of Gas (in Mcf) received at the applicable System Receipt Point during the applicable Month by the Gallons per Mcf of pentanes and heavier components in such Gas determined at the relevant System Receipt Point on such System Segment.

Section 6.4 Allocation of Liquid Hydrocarbons.

(a) Subject to Section 6.4(b), if Gatherer is providing Liquid Hydrocarbons gathering pursuant to Section 2.5(c), Gatherer shall allocate the volume of Liquid Hydrocarbons gathered to or delivered into storage tanks at each Delivery Point to each System Receipt Point upstream of such Delivery Point during the applicable Month based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the volume of Liquid Hydrocarbons received at such System Receipt Point and the numerator of which is the total volumes of Liquid Hydrocarbons received at all such System Receipt Points during such Month.

(b) If Gatherer is providing Liquid Hydrocarbons gathering pursuant to Section 2.5(c), Gatherer shall not commingle Shipper’s Liquid Hydrocarbons received at the Receipt Points with Liquid Hydrocarbons constituting Third Party Production if the resulting commingled stream would have a market value that is materially less than the market value a stream composed solely of Shipper’s Liquid Hydrocarbons would have, unless Gatherer has provided by notice to Shipper a written allocation methodology that ensures that Shipper is allocated a portion of the commingled stream that would enable it to realize a market value that reasonably approximates the market value of such stream composed solely of Shipper’s Liquid Hydrocarbons. From and after the delivery of such notice, Gatherer shall have the right to commingle such Liquid Hydrocarbons and shall apply such allocation methodology to such commingled stream.

Section 13.1 Invoices. Not later than the tenth (10th) Day following the end of each Month, Gatherer shall provide Shipper with a detailed statement setting forth the volume and Thermal Content of Gas and, if applicable, the volume of Liquid Hydrocarbons received by Gatherer at the Receipt Points in such Month, the volume and Thermal Content of Delivery Point Gas allocated to Shipper and, if applicable, the volume of Liquid Hydrocarbons redelivered to Shipper in such Month, the quantity of Gas and the cost of electricity used as Fuel allocated to Shipper in such Month, the volume and Thermal Content of Lost and Unaccounted For Gas for such Month, and the Gathering Fee, the High Pressure Gathering Fee, the Compression Fee, the Liquids Gathering Fee, and the Cost of Service Fee with respect to such Month, together with measurement summaries and the amount of any Imbalances and all relevant supporting documentation, to the extent available on such tenth (10th) Day (with Gatherer being obligated to deliver any such supporting documentation that is not available on such tenth (10th) Day as soon as it becomes available). Shipper shall make payment to Gatherer by the last Business Day of the Month in which such invoice is received. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered by Gatherer to Shipper in writing from time to time. If any overcharge or undercharge in any form whatsoever shall at any time be found and the invoice therefor has been paid, Gatherer shall refund any amount of overcharge, and Shipper shall pay any amount of undercharge, within thirty (30) Days after final determination thereof, provided, however, that no retroactive adjustment will be made beyond a period of twenty-four (24) Months from the date of a statement hereunder.

Section 13.2 Right to Suspend on Failure to Pay. If any undisputed amount due hereunder remains unpaid for sixty (60) Days after the due date, Gatherer shall have the right to suspend or discontinue Services hereunder until any such past due amount is paid.

Section 13.3 Audit Rights. Either Party, on not less than thirty (30) Days prior written notice to the other Party, shall have the right at its expense, at reasonable times during normal business hours, but in no event more than twice in any period of twelve (12) consecutive Months, to audit the books and records of the other Party to the extent necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, allocation, measurement, computation, charge, payment made under, or obligation or right pursuant to this Agreement. The scope of any audit shall be limited to transactions affecting Dedicated Production and Delivery Point Gas hereunder and shall be limited to the twenty-four (24) Month period immediately prior to the Month in which the notice requesting an audit was given. All statements, allocations, measurements, computations, charges, or payments made in any period prior to the twenty-four (24) Month period immediately prior to the Month in which the audit is requested shall be conclusively deemed true and correct and shall be final for all purposes.

Section 13.4 Payment Disputes. In the event of any dispute with respect to any payment hereunder, Shipper shall make timely payment of all undisputed amounts, and Gatherer and Shipper will use good faith efforts to resolve the disputed amounts within sixty (60) Days following the original due date. Any amounts subsequently resolved shall be due and payable within ten (10) Days of such resolution.

Section 13.5 Interest on Late Payments. In the event that Shipper shall fail to make timely payment of any sums, except those contested in good faith or those in a good faith dispute, when due under this Agreement, interest will accrue at an annual rate equal to ten percent (10%) from the date payment is due until the date payment is made.

Section 13.6 Credit Assurance. Gatherer shall apply consistent evaluation practices to all similarly situated shippers to determine the new Shipper’s financial ability to perform its payment obligations under this Agreement.

(a) If Gatherer has reasonable grounds for insecurity regarding the performance of any obligation by Shipper under this Agreement (whether or not then due), Gatherer may demand Adequate Assurance of Performance from Shipper, which Adequate Assurance of Performance shall be provided to Gatherer within five (5) Days after written request. If Shipper fails to provide such Adequate Assurance of Performance within such time, then Gatherer may suspend its performance under this Agreement until such Adequate Assurance of Performance is provided. However, any action by Gatherer shall not relieve Shipper of its payment obligations. The exercise by Gatherer of any right under this Section 13.6 shall be without prejudice to any claims for damages or any other right under this Agreement. As used herein, “Adequate Assurance of Performance” means any of the following, in Gatherer’s reasonable discretion:

(i) an irrevocable standby letter of credit in an amount not to exceed an amount that is equal to sixty (60) Days of Shipper’s payment obligations hereunder from a financial institution rated at least A- by S&P or at least A3 by Xxxxx’x in a form and substance satisfactory to Gatherer;

(ii) cash collateral in an amount not to exceed an amount that is equal to sixty (60) Days of Shipper’s payment obligations hereunder to be deposited in an escrow account as designated by Gatherer; Gatherer is hereby granted a security interest in and right of set-off against all cash collateral, which is or may hereafter be delivered or otherwise transferred to such escrow account in connection with this Agreement; or

(iii) a guaranty in an amount not to exceed an amount that is equal to sixty (60) Days of Shipper’s payment obligations hereunder reasonably acceptable to Gatherer.

(b) The term of any security provided under this Section 13.6 shall be as reasonably determined by Gatherer, but it shall never exceed sixty (60) Days, after which the security shall terminate (or in the case of cash collateral, be immediately returned by Gatherer to Shipper without further action by either Party). Nothing shall prohibit Gatherer, however, from requesting additional Adequate Assurance of Performance following the end of any such term, so long as the conditions triggering such a request under this Section 13.6 exist.

(c) Should Shipper fail to provide Adequate Assurance of Performance within five (5) Days after receipt of written demand for such assurance (which shall include reasonable particulars for the demand and documentation supporting the calculation of such amount demanded), then Gatherer shall have the right (notwithstanding any other provision of this

Agreement) to suspend performance under this Agreement until such time as Shipper furnishes Adequate Assurance of Performance.

Section 13.7 Excused Performance. Gatherer will not be required to perform or continue to perform services hereunder, and Shipper shall not be obligated to deliver Dedicated Production to the Gathering System (or make any payments required under Section 5.1(d)) in the event:

(a) the other Party has voluntarily filed for bankruptcy protection under any chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code;

(b) the other Party is the subject of an involuntary petition of bankruptcy under any chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and such involuntary petition has not been settled or otherwise dismissed within ninety (90) Days of such filing; or

(c) the other Party otherwise becomes insolvent, whether by an inability to meet its debts as they come due in the ordinary course of business or because its liabilities exceed its assets on a balance sheet test; and/or however such insolvency may otherwise be evidenced.

ARTICLE 14
FORCE MAJEURE

Section 14.1 Suspension of Obligations. In the event a Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by Force Majeure to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to make payments then or thereafter due hereunder, and such Party promptly gives notice and reasonably full particulars of such Force Majeure in writing to the other Party promptly after the occurrence of the cause relied on, then the obligations of the Party giving such notice, so far as and to the extent that 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 reasonably possible be remedied with all reasonable dispatch by the Party claiming Force Majeure.

Section 14.2 Definition of Force Majeure. The term “Force Majeure” as used in this Agreement shall mean any cause or causes not reasonably within the control of the Party claiming suspension and which, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, such Party is unable to prevent or overcome, including acts of God, strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances, acts of the public enemy, acts of terror, sabotage, wars, blockades, military action, insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, subsidence, lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms or storm warnings, crevasses, floods, washouts, civil disturbances, explosions, breakage or accident to xxxxx, machinery, equipment or lines of pipe, the necessity for testing or making repairs or alterations to xxxxx, machinery, equipment or lines of pipe, freezing of xxxxx, equipment or lines of pipe, inability of any Party hereto to obtain, after the exercise of reasonable diligence, necessary materials, supplies, or government authorizations, any action or restraint by any Governmental Authority (so long as the Party claiming suspension has not applied for or assisted in the application for, and has opposed where and to the extent reasonable, such action or restraint, and as long as such action or restraint is not the result of a failure by the claiming Party to comply

with applicable laws, rules, regulations, or orders), and, in the case of Gatherer as the claiming party, any breach of any representation or warranty of Shipper or any failure by Shipper to perform any obligation of Shipper under that certain Contribution Agreement dated [ ], 2013, by and between Shipper and Gatherer.

Section 14.3 Settlement of Strikes and Lockouts. It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party having the difficulty, and that the above requirement that any Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of the opposing party when such course is inadvisable in the sole discretion of the Party having the difficulty.

Section 14.4 Payments for Gas Delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is specifically understood and agreed by the Parties that an event of Force Majeure will in no way affect or terminate Shipper’s obligation to make payment for quantities of Gas delivered prior to such event of Force Majeure.

The Party having custody and control of Production under the terms of this Agreement shall be responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify, release and hold the other Party and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, representatives, and invitees harmless from and against, all claims and losses of whatever kind and nature for anything that may happen or arise with respect to such Production when such Production is in its custody and control, including losses resulting from any negligent acts or

omissions of any indemnified party, but excluding any losses to the extent caused by or arising out of the negligence, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of the indemnified party.

Section 16.2 Shipper Warranty. Shipper represents and warrants that it owns, or has the right to deliver to the Gathering System, all Production delivered under this Agreement, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and adverse claims. If the title to Production delivered by Shipper hereunder is disputed or is involved in any legal action, Gatherer shall have the right to cease receiving such Production, to the extent of the interest disputed or involved in legal action, during the pendency of the action or until title is freed from the dispute, or until Shipper furnishes, or causes to be furnished, indemnification to save Gatherer harmless from all claims arising out of the dispute or action, with surety acceptable to Gatherer. Shipper hereby indemnifies Gatherer against and holds Gatherer harmless from any and all claims and losses arising out of or related to any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty..

Shipper’s Production or Delivery Point Gas (including all constituents and products thereof) delivered under this Agreement, including royalties, overriding royalties, and similar interests, in accordance with the provisions of the leases or agreements creating those rights to proceeds. In no event will Gatherer have any obligation to those Persons due any of those proceeds of production attributable to any such Gas (including all constituents and products thereof) delivered under this Agreement. Although Shipper shall retain title to Production as provided in this Section 16.3, Gatherer shall have the right to commingle Production delivered by Shipper with Third Party Production.

No waiver by either Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision

hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly provided. No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the Party to be charged with such waiver.

Section 18.8 Limitation of Liability.
