The exchange of such information and any changes thereto shall not give rise to any rights or liabilities as among 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, Producer has no obligation to Shipper or Gatherer under this Agreement to develop or produce any Crude Oil from the Dedicated Properties or to pursue or complete any drilling or development on the Dedicated Properties other than the terms specifically stated in this Agreement.

Section 3.3 Expansion of Gathering System; Connection of Xxxxx; Delivery Points.

(a)Gatherer shall design and develop the Gathering System for the purpose of providing the Services as and when needed to support the upstream development of the Planned CDPs, and Gatherer shall be obligated, at its sole cost and expense, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to procure, construct, install, own and operate the Gathering System so as to timely connect the Planned CDPs to the Gathering System, connect the Gathering System to the Delivery Points and timely commence providing the full scope of the Services with respect to all Dedicated Crude Oil produced from all CDPs, including the Planned CDPs from and after their connection to the Gathering System, all in accordance with this Section 3.3; provided that the foregoing shall not preclude Gatherer from also designing and developing the Gathering System to accommodate Third Party Crude Oil.

(b)Producer shall from time to time give notice (a “Connection Notice”) to Gatherer (with a copy to Shipper) of each CDP that Producer intends to construct and install (or a CDP that is subject to a Conflicting Dedication that has expired or will expire (or has been released or will be released), or that Producer or Shipper has terminated or will terminate, prior to the applicable Completion Deadline) through which Dedicated Crude Oil will be produced (each, a “Planned CDP”). Each Connection Notice shall set forth the target completion date for drilling and completion of the initial Well to produce through such Planned CDP. Following delivery of a Connection Notice with respect to a Planned CDP, Gatherer shall cause the necessary facilities to be constructed to connect such CDP to the Gathering System and to commence the Services with respect to Dedicated Crude Oil produced from such Planned CDP by the date that is (i) in the case of a Planned CDP that is located two miles or less from the then-existing Gathering System at the time of such Connection Notice, 105 Days after the date of Producer’s delivery of such Connection Notice and (ii) in the case of a Planned CDP that is located greater than two miles from the then-existing Gathering System at the time of such Connection Notice, 180 Days after the date of Producer’s delivery of such Connection Notice (such date, the “Completion Deadline”). Gatherer shall provide Producer and Shipper notice promptly upon Gatherer’s becoming aware of any reason to believe that it may not be able to connect a Planned CDP to the Gathering System by the Completion Deadline therefor or to otherwise complete all facilities necessary to provide the full scope of the Services with respect to all Dedicated Crude Oil produced through such Planned CDP by the Completion Deadline 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 Producer that is inconsistent with the cooperation requirements of Section 3.6, 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 may be extended in accordance with Section 3.5(b)), as Shipper’s and Producer’s sole and exclusive remedy for such delay, at Producer’s option, the Dedicated Crude Oil produced from the CDP and any future Xxxxx drilled within the same DSU shall be permanently released from the dedication and commitment made by Producer and Shipper under this Agreement.

(c)To the extent that the CDP connection is required sooner than the Completion Deadline determined as set forth above, the Parties shall meet and discuss the issues and potential additional costs associated with acceleration of such connection, and shall use reasonable efforts to mutually agree upon an accelerated connection timing. If Producer is willing to pay for the additional costs involved with accelerating a connection, Gatherer shall use reasonable efforts to complete the CDP connection within such accelerated timing.

(d)The Parties agree and acknowledge that Producer previously delivered Connection Notices to Gatherer with respect to certain Planned CDPs set forth in the Development Plan provided to Gatherer prior to the Effective Date. The Completion Deadline for each such Planned CDP shall be July 1, 2020.

(e)Gatherer shall design and construct the initial Delivery Points at its sole cost and expense. Gatherer shall be obligated, at Gatherer’s cost, to provide connections to the Delivery Points set forth on Exhibit B or within the Development Plan. If Shipper specifies that Dedicated Crude Oil is to be delivered to a Delivery Point not described on Exhibit B or within the Development Plan that is not at such time connected to the Gathering System, Gatherer shall provide a connection to such Delivery Point. With respect to each of the first two such additional connections (each, an “Additional Delivery Point”) (i) if such Additional Delivery Point is within one mile of the then-existing Gathering System, Gatherer shall bear the cost of such Additional Delivery Point, and (ii) if such Additional Delivery Point is more than one mile from the then-existing Gathering System, Shipper shall bear the incremental cost of locating such Additional Delivery Point in excess of one mile from the then-existing Gathering System, and Gatherer shall bear all other costs of such Additional Delivery Point. Such costs shall be allocated pro rata with any third party shipper that requests utilization of such additional Delivery Point. Gatherer shall proceed with due diligence and in good faith to obtain the necessary governmental authorizations and to enter into the necessary third party agreements (any such agreement to be on terms acceptable to Gatherer) to connect the Gathering System to each such new delivery point. For the avoidance of doubt, Gatherer shall not be obligated to pay any pump over fee or similar fee charged by any pipeline downstream of the Delivery Points, such fee being, as between the Parties, for the account of Shipper. 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 Dedicated Crude Oil to be redelivered at such Delivery Point in accordance with this Agreement (with all expansions of capacity at such new Delivery Points, not including the Delivery Points described on Exhibit B or within the Development Plan or the Additional Delivery Points, being at Shipper’s sole actual cost, risk and expense). Subject to the foregoing, Gatherer shall connect each CDP to the Gathering System such that Crude Oil from such CDP can be redelivered to the Delivery Points. Upon completion of the connection of the Gathering System to such new delivery point pursuant to this Section 3.3(e) and such connection becoming operational, the point of interconnection between the Gathering System and such new delivery point shall thereafter be a Delivery Point under this Agreement. The Parties shall discuss Shipper’s plans and timing for all new Delivery Point connections on a Monthly basis.

Section 3.4 Timing for Completion and Placement into Service of Initial Gathering System. Gatherer anticipates completion of the design, engineering, construction and startup and operation of the initial Gathering System at Gatherer’s sole cost and expense by October 1, 2019.

Section 3.5 Right of Way and Access.

(a)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 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 Producer, except as otherwise agreed by Gatherer; provided that Producer agrees to grant, without warranty of title, either express or implied, to the extent that it has the right to do so without the incurrence of expense, an easement and right of way upon the lands covered by the Dedicated Properties, for the sole purpose of installing, using, maintaining, servicing, inspecting, repairing, operating, replacing, disconnecting and removing all or any portion of the Gathering System, including any 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 Producer’s lease operations or with the rights of owners in fee, and will be subject to Producer’s safety and other reasonable access requirements applicable to Producer’s personnel. Producer 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 Producer loses its rights to the property, regardless of the reason for such loss of rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Producer 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 3.6, to the extent that Producer agrees that Gatherer’s Measurement Facilities may be located on Producer’s Well Pad sites, Producer shall be responsible for obtaining any necessary rights to locate such Measurement Facilities on such Well Pad sites and Producer shall use reasonable efforts to involve Gatherer in Producer’s negotiations with the owners of lands covered by the Dedicated Properties so that Producer’s surface use agreements and Gatherer’s rights of way with respect to such lands can be concurrently negotiated and obtained.

(b)If Gatherer cannot obtain the rights of way (on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Gatherer after diligent pursuit thereof) necessary to connect any Planned CDP within 45 Days of delivery of a Connection Notice, then Gatherer shall so notify Producer in writing (the “Easement Notice”) within 45 Days of delivery of the Connection Notice. Producer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to obtain, at its sole cost and expense, such rights of way using the form of right of way agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C, with any such modifications that Producer deems reasonably necessary in order to obtain such right of way, so long as such modifications reflect terms that are available in the geographic vicinity and which afford rights that are reasonably sufficient to enable Gatherer to connect such Planned CDP within 45 Days of delivery of such Easement Notice. If Producer obtains such rights of way in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Producer shall assign such right of way to Gatherer, and Gatherer’s connection obligations for the applicable CDP shall continue in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the time required for Gatherer to connect the applicable CDP shall be extended by a number of Days commencing on the date of delivery of the Easement Notice and ending on the date that Gatherer receives from Producer the assignment of all such rights of way so obtained by Producer (together with executed originals of all such rights of way). In such event, Gatherer shall pay Producer for such rights of way an amount per rod equal to the average price per rod paid by Gatherer for the purchase of rights of way in the Dedicated Acreage during the preceding 12 Month period. If Gatherer has not purchased right of way within the Dedicated Acreage during the previous 12 Months, then Gatherer shall pay Producer for such rights of way an amount per rod equal to the amount per rod paid by Gatherer under its most recent purchase of rights of way in the Dedicated Acreage.

(c)In the event that Producer fails to obtain such rights of way during such 45 Day period, Producer shall have the option, upon written notice to Gatherer, to permanently release the Xxxxx connected to such CDP from the dedication and commitment made by Producer and Shipper under this Agreement; provided, however, if Gatherer has (i) procured such rights of way within such 45 Day period and (ii) delivered to Producer with a written explanation of Gatherer’s bona fide plan to connect the CDP and Gatherer has commenced to implement such plan, then Producer shall not have such option to release such Well(s).

Section 3.6 Cooperation. Because of the interrelated nature of the actions of Producer and Gatherer required to obtain the necessary Permits from the appropriate Governmental Authorities and

the necessary consents, rights of way and other authorizations from other Persons necessary to drill and complete each Well and construct the required extensions of the Gathering System to each Planned CDP, Producer and Gatherer agree to work together in good faith to obtain such Permits, authorizations, consents and rights of way as expeditiously as reasonably practicable. Producer and Gatherer further agree to cooperate with each other and to communicate regularly regarding their efforts to obtain such Permits, authorizations, consents and rights of way.

Section 3.7 Trucked Volumes. Shipper may request that Gatherer construct, own, operate and maintain truck ACT (Automatic Custody Transfer Unit) offloading facilities with the design capacity to offload Crude Oil into the Gathering System at the Wink Station for use exclusively by Shipper. If Gatherer and Shipper mutually agree on the specifications of such offloading facility and the additional Fee for such truck offloading Service, then Gatherer shall construct, own, operate and maintain such offloading facility at its sole cost and expense. Such offloading facilities shall be deemed to be a Receipt Point for all purposes of this Agreement, including PLA, except that volumes of Crude Oil offloaded at such offloading facilities shall not be subject to the Gathering Fee. Gatherer shall provide the Services associated with such trucked volumes of Crude Oil in accordance with Shipper’s nomination for the applicable Month.

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 December 31, 2034 and from Contract Year to Contract Year thereafter until such time as this Agreement is terminated, by notice from any Party to the other Party, effective at the end of the first Contract Year ending after the 270^th Day after the delivery of such notice.

Section 4.2 Post-Termination. If any Party provides notice of termination of this Agreement at any time for any reason pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Shipper shall have the option (to be exercised by providing written notice to Gatherer prior to the termination of this Agreement) to continue to receive the Services or a portion of the Services for all or any portion of its volumes of Crude Oil on a year-to-year basis on the same terms and conditions as the most favorable terms and conditions that Gatherer continues to provide services that are the same as or similar to the Services or any portion of the Services for volumes of Crude Oil on the Gathering System under an agreement with any third party unless and until terminated by Shipper; provided, however, that if the option to extend the term of this Agreement on a year-to-year basis pursuant to this Section 4.2 is exercised, any obligation of Gatherer to continue to provide the Services pursuant to such option shall not extend beyond December 31, 2044. Gatherer shall provide copies to Shipper of any such third party agreements applicable to volumes of Crude Oil accessing the Gathering System upon any notice of termination of this Agreement (whether such notice is delivered by Gatherer, Producer or Shipper), provided, however, that to the extent Gatherer is prohibited by an obligation of confidentiality from disclosing any such third party agreement to Shipper, then (a) Gatherer shall not be obligated to disclose such agreement to Shipper until Gatherer has obtained the right to disclose such agreement and (b) Gatherer shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain the right to disclose such agreement to Shipper.

Section 4.3 Survival. Article 1, this Article 4, Section 10.6, Article 11, Article 12, Article 14, Article 15, Article 16 and Article 17 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 6

CERTAIN RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF PARTIES

Section 6.1 Operational Control of Gatherer’s Facilities. Gatherer shall design, construct, own, operate and maintain the Gathering System at its sole cost and risk. Gatherer shall be entitled to full and complete operational control of its facilities and shall be entitled to schedule deliveries and to operate and reconfigure its facilities in a manner consistent with its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 6.2 Maintenance. Gatherer shall be entitled, without liability, to interrupt its Gathering System performance hereunder to perform necessary or desirable inspections, pigging, maintenance, testing, alterations, modifications, expansions, connections, repairs or replacements to its facilities as Gatherer deems necessary (“Maintenance”), with reasonable notice provided to Producer, except in cases of emergency where such notice is impracticable or in cases where the operations of Producer and Shipper will not be affected. Gatherer shall use reasonable efforts to schedule any Maintenance to minimize the effect on providing the Services pursuant to this Agreement. Before the beginning of the calendar year, Gatherer shall provide Producer in writing with a projected schedule of the Maintenance to be performed during the year and the anticipated date of such Maintenance.

Section 6.3 Capacity Allocations on the Gathering System. Subject to the capacity allocations set forth in this Section 6.3, Gatherer has the right to contract with other Persons for the delivery of Third Party Crude Oil to the Gathering System, including the delivery of Firm Capacity Crude Oil. Subject to the terms of the Tariff (to the extent set forth in Section 17.17), if the volume of Crude Oil available for delivery into any System Segment exceeds the capacity of such System Segment at any point relevant to Gatherer’s service to Producer hereunder, then Gatherer shall interrupt or curtail receipts of Crude Oil in accordance with the following:

(a)First, Gatherer shall curtail all Interruptible Crude Oil prior to curtailing Firm Capacity Crude Oil.

(b)Second, if additional Gathering System curtailments are required beyond Section 6.3(a), Gatherer shall curtail Firm Capacity Crude Oil on the Gathering System. In the event Gatherer curtails some, but not all, Firm Capacity Crude Oil on a particular Day, Gatherer shall allocate the capacity of the applicable point on the relevant System Segment available to each Person entitled to deliver Firm Capacity Crude Oil, including Dedicated Crude Oil, on a pro rata basis based on the most recent previous Month’s Receipt Point volumes and allowing Gatherer in its sole discretion to include estimated volumes from New Xxxxx that are connected to a Receipt Point that were not producing during the previous Month.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gatherer shall have the right from time to time to enter into capacity leases or similar arrangements with its other customers pursuant to which a customer may have priority for its Crude Oil up to its maximum leased capacity during certain events of curtailment.

Section 6.4 Temporary Releases. In addition to any other rights and remedies available to Producer or Shipper under this Agreement or at law or in equity, if Gatherer fails or is unable or unwilling for any reason (including Force Majeure) to accept all volumes of Dedicated Crude Oil tendered by or on account of Shipper pursuant to this Agreement and provide the Services in accordance therewith, then the volumes of Dedicated Crude Oil in excess of what Gatherer is willing and able to accept shall be temporarily released from the dedication and commitment made by Producer and Shipper under this Agreement. Producer and Shipper may immediately deliver such volumes to any Person other than Gatherer, and Producer and Shipper shall have the right to enter into commitments to deliver such volumes of Dedicated Crude Oil to other third party gatherers, such commitments to be for no longer than reasonably necessary under the circumstances, as determined by Producer and Shipper in their sole discretion.

Section 6.5 Line Fill.

(a)Shipper shall be required to provide, or cause to be provided, without cost to Gatherer, its pro rata share of Line Fill, based on the total volume of Crude Oil in Barrels received from or on account of Shipper divided by the total volume of Crude Oil in Barrels received from all shippers on the Gathering System.

(b)Gatherer shall calculate Shipper’s pro rata share of Line Fill Monthly and provide Shipper with a balance statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F. Gatherer shall deliver this Monthly balance statement with its Monthly statement to be provided pursuant to Section 12.1. If Shipper’s pro rata share of the Line Fill is increased as a result of such calculation, Shipper shall promptly provide, or cause to be provided, without cost to Gatherer, additional volumes of Crude Oil to meet such requirement. If Shipper’s pro rata share of the Line Fill is reduced as a result of such calculation, Gatherer shall promptly deliver the excess amount of Crude Oil to Shipper, less PLA, at the applicable Delivery Points and Shipper shall pay the Gathering Fee in effect during such Month of delivery to the Delivery Points on such excess Line Fill.

(c)Shipper’s share of the Line Fill shall be held by Gatherer in the Gathering System and returned to Shipper following the termination of this Agreement. Within 60 Days following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, (a) Gatherer shall deliver and Shipper shall receive such Line Fill, less PLA, at the applicable Delivery Points and (b) Shipper shall pay the Gathering Fee in effect on the termination of this Agreement on such Line Fill for the delivery of the same to the applicable Delivery Points.

ARTICLE 7

PRESSURES; PRODUCER’S FACILITIES; ELECTRICITY

Section 7.1 Pressures at Receipt Points. Shipper shall deliver or cause to be delivered Crude Oil to each Receipt Point on the Gathering System from atmospheric tanks or from low pressure separation at sufficient pressure to enter Gatherer’s Receipt Point pump on the Gathering System against its operating pressure, except that Gatherer shall not be obligated to gather Crude Oil at pressures in excess of the maximum allowable operating pressure of the Gathering System at such Receipt Point, as determined by Gatherer in its sole discretion. Gatherer shall operate its measurement and Receipt Point pump at a pressure that allows Producer to deliver Crude Oil directly from its atmospheric tanks or low pressure separation into the Gathering System without additional pumps; provided that such atmospheric tanks have a minimum of four feet of hydrostatic head or low pressure separation at the low liquid level to allow Gatherer’s pumps to attain proper suction pressure.

Section 7.2 Pressures at Delivery Points. The Gathering System shall be designed for and shall be operated by Gatherer at a discharge pressure sufficient to effect delivery of all of Shipper’s Dedicated Crude Oil to the Delivery Point(s).

Section 7.3 Producer Facilities.

(a)Producer, at its own expense, shall construct, equip, maintain and operate all facilities necessary to deliver Dedicated Crude Oil to Gatherer at the Receipt Points. Producer shall install and maintain sufficient pressure regulating equipment upstream of the Receipt Points on the Gathering System in order to keep the pressure of the Crude Oil delivered to Gatherer at such Receipt Points from exceeding the maximum allowable operating pressure of the Gathering System at the applicable Receipt Point, as determined by Gatherer in its sole discretion and stated in the Gathering System Plan. Such equipment shall include low pressure separation facilities and atmospheric tankage upstream of the Receipt Points.

(b)Producer shall have the right to install facilities and flow volumes attributable to Producer’s interests in operated and non-operated xxxxx outside, but on DSUs that are contiguous with, the Dedicated Acreage, allowing such xxxxx to flow into existing CDPs or to new CDPs mutually agreed among Producer, Shipper and Gatherer where Gatherer shall provide a meter and tap at Gatherer’s sole cost and expense. Producer shall provide a list of xxxxx from outside, but on DSUs that are contiguous with, the Dedicated Acreage that will be connected to existing CDPs or to new CDPs in accordance with this Section 7.3(b).

Section 7.4 Electrical Facilities. To the extent that Producer has electrical power available at a CDP in excess of Producer’s own uses, as Producer determines in its reasonable discretion, Producer will supply electrical power without cost to Gatherer at each such CDP for Gatherer’s Measurement Facilities and pumps. If Gatherer requires additional electrical power at such site, then Gatherer shall install, own, operate and maintain a generator at its sole cost and expense.

ARTICLE 8

NOMINATIONS, Balancing

Section 8.1 Gatherer Notifications. On or before the 17th Day prior to the end of each Month, Gatherer shall provide written notice to Shipper of Gatherer’s good faith estimate of any capacity allocations or curtailments for any System Segment, if any, that, based on then currently available information, Gatherer anticipates will be required or necessary during the next Month, including as a result of any Maintenance. Gatherer shall use all reasonable efforts to provide 48 hours advance notice of any actual event requiring allocation or curtailment, including Maintenance. No later than 17 Business Days prior to the end of each Month, Gatherer shall notify Producer of the Line Fill expected to be used in the Gathering System for the following Month of Crude Oil delivered at the Receipt Points, after taking into consideration the anticipated operational efficiencies and operational mode of the Gathering System.

Section 8.2 Nominations. On or before the 15th Day prior to the end of each Month, Shipper shall provide to Gatherer nominations for (a) deliveries of Dedicated Crude Oil to the Receipt Points and (b) deliveries of Crude Oil to the specified Delivery Points to be delivered during the next Month. Shipper shall have the right to change such nominations at any time subject to the requirements of the Persons receiving Crude Oil at or downstream of the Delivery Points and subject to changes in wellhead volumes being delivered into the Gathering System. Gatherer shall use reasonable efforts to accommodate any changes made to Shipper’s Monthly nominations.

Section 8.3 Balancing. Gatherer will maintain records of any Daily and Monthly variances (“Imbalances”) between the volume of Dedicated Crude Oil received at the Receipt Points and the volumes of Crude Oil delivered at the Delivery Points (after PLA and Line Fill allocated to Shipper in accordance with Section 6.5). Shipper shall make such changes in its nominations as Gatherer may from time to time reasonably request to maintain Daily and Monthly balances or to correct an Imbalance. Shipper shall reimburse Gatherer for any cost, penalty or fee arising from any Imbalance assessed against Gatherer by any Person receiving Dedicated Crude Oil downstream of the Delivery Points, except to the extent such Imbalance was caused by Gatherer. Upon the termination of this Agreement or at such other time as Shipper and Gatherer agree, Shipper and Gatherer shall volumetrically balance any cumulative Imbalance.

Section 8.4 Allocation of PLA. Volumes of Crude Oil received by Gatherer at the Receipt Points (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any truck ACT offloading facilities described in Section 3.7) shall be redelivered to or for the account of Shipper at the Delivery Points after deduction of PLA.

ARTICLE 9

QUALITY

Section 9.1 Receipt Point Crude Oil Quality Specifications. Crude Oil delivered by or for the account of Shipper to each Receipt Point and truck offloading facilities shall meet the following specifications (collectively, the “Crude Oil Quality Specifications”):

(a)not more than [***]% of basic sediment, water and other impurities (provided that in no event, will water be allowed to exceed [***]%). If Crude Oil is accepted from tankage, settled bottoms in such tanks must not be above a point [***] below the pipeline connection with the tank from which it enters Gatherer’s facilities;

(b)sulfur content less than [***]% by weight;

(c)hydrogen sulfide vapor phase content less than or equal to [***] ppm;

(d)vapor pressure not in excess of [***] psia at [***] degrees Fahrenheit in accordance with the latest version of ASTM D6377;

(e)temperature not in excess of [***] degrees Fahrenheit;

(f)API Gravity of greater than [***] degrees API or less than [***] degrees API, provided, however, that Shipper may deliver Crude Oil having an API Gravity in excess of [***] degrees API to the extent that (1) the weighted average API Gravity of Crude Oil delivered to all of the Receipt Points is collectively less than [***] degrees API and (2) such Crude Oil, to the extent capable of being commingled on the Gathering System without interruption of service, would have an API Gravity less than [***] degrees API upon delivery to the Delivery Points;

(g)viscosity less than [***] centistokes at [***] degrees Fahrenheit;

(h)total dissolved solids of not more than [***] percent; and

(i)free of hazardous wastes and other substances that may not be received into or transferred through the Gathering System, or transported by truck, meets all Applicable |Laws and Permits and Gatherer’s operational standards.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the quality specifications required from time to time by the pipelines receiving Crude Oil at the Delivery Points are more restrictive than any of the specifications provided for above, then the Crude Oil Quality Specifications shall automatically be modified to incorporate such more restrictive specifications in lieu of any less restrictive specifications provided for above.

Section 9.2 Non-Spec Crude Oil.

(a)Gatherer shall test and monitor the Crude Oil tendered by or for the account of Shipper at the Receipt Points as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator to ensure that it meets the Crude Oil Quality Specifications. If Gatherer determines at any time that any Crude Oil tendered by or for the account of Shipper at any Receipt Point does not meet the Crude Oil Quality Specifications (any such Crude Oil that does not meet the Crude Oil Quality Specifications, “Non-Spec Crude Oil”), then Gatherer shall have the right, at its sole option and effective immediately upon notice to Shipper, to refuse to accept such Non-Spec Crude Oil. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gatherer will use reasonable efforts subject to Gatherer’s system operations and integrity to accept such Non-Spec Crude Oil (i) if Gatherer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that after acceptance of such Non-Spec Crude Oil the commingled common stream of Crude Oil in the Gathering System, as delivered to the Delivery Points, will nonetheless meet the Crude Oil Quality Specifications and/or (ii) in order to perform blending or other services with respect to such Non-Spec Crude Oil if the Parties have agreed on fees for such other services.

(b)If Shipper determines or otherwise becomes aware at any time prior to delivery that any Crude Oil that will be tendered by or for the account of Shipper at any Receipt Point will not meet the Crude Oil Quality Specifications, then Shipper shall provide written notice to Gatherer. Upon receipt of such notice, if Gatherer nevertheless accepts such Non-Spec Crude Oil, then Producer and Shipper shall not be liable for any claims or losses arising out of or related to delivery of such Non-Spec Crude Oil, including any damages or losses downstream of the applicable Receipt Point(s).

(c)Producer and Shipper shall not be liable for any claims or losses arising out of or related to delivery of Non-Spec Crude Oil, including any damages or losses downstream of the applicable Receipt Point(s); provided that Shipper shall be liable for such claims or losses if Shipper determines or otherwise becomes aware at any time prior to delivery that any Crude Oil that will be tendered by or for the account of Shipper at any Receipt Point will not meet the Crude Oil Quality Specifications and Shipper fails to deliver written notice to Gatherer pursuant to Section 8.2(b).

(d)Any Crude Oil that is tendered by or for the account of Shipper that Gatherer refuses to accept pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be temporarily released from the dedication and commitment made by Producer and Shipper under this Agreement so that Producer and Shipper may dispose of any such Crude Oil.

Section 9.3 Delivery Point Crude Oil Quality Specifications. If Shipper delivers Crude Oil to Gatherer at the Receipt Points that meets the Crude Oil Quality Specifications, Gatherer shall redeliver Crude Oil at the Delivery Points to or for the account of Shipper that meets the Crude Oil Quality Specifications.

Section 9.4 Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event there is an enactment of, or change in, any Applicable Law after the Effective Date which, in Gatherer’s reasonable determination, results in a Governmental Authority requiring Gatherer to hold or acquire emission allowances or their equivalent related to the carbon dioxide content or emissions or the greenhouse gas content or emissions attributable to Dedicated Crude Oil and/or the gathering or storage by Gatherer of such Crude Oil or entrained gas (collectively, “Shipper’s GHG Emissions”), or Gatherer incurring any costs or expenses attributable to Dedicated Crude Oil, including any costs or expenses for disposal or treating of carbon dioxide attributable to such Crude Oil, or any other additional economic burden being placed on Gatherer, in connection with or related to Shipper’s GHG Emissions, including any tax, assessment, or other cost or expense (collectively, “Emissions Charges”), then Shipper and Producer will use reasonable efforts to provide any required emissions allowances or their equivalent to Gatherer in a timely manner (and Shipper and Producer shall release, indemnify, defend and hold Gatherer harmless from and against all claims and losses, including any expenses incurred by Gatherer in acquiring such allowances in the marketplace, arising out of or related to the failure to timely provide any such required emission allowances or their equivalent), and Shipper and Producer shall be fully responsible for such Emissions Charges and shall

reimburse Gatherer for any Emissions Charges paid by Gatherer within ten Days of receipt of Gatherer’s invoice.

ARTICLE 10

MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES

Section 10.1 Measurement Facilities. Measurement at each Receipt Point shall be conducted by LACT meter unit. Gatherer shall install, own, operate and maintain Measurement Facilities consisting of LACT meter units to measure Crude Oil at all the Receipt Points. Producer shall pay for the initial actual cost of the LACT meter unit to be installed at each Receipt Point and Gatherer shall be responsible for all measurement costs including LACT meter unit installation beyond the initial capital cost of the LACT meter unit. Prior to ordering and purchasing the LACT meter unit, Gatherer shall provide Producer with the cost analysis and options for purchasing the LACT meter unit. Measurement Facilities at the Receipt Points and Delivery Points shall meet current industry standards for custody transfer measurement. Shipper shall have the right to install check Measurement Facilities upstream of each Receipt Point.

Section 10.2 Notice of Measurement Facilities Inspection and Calibration. Each of Shipper and Gatherer shall give two Days’ notice to the other in order that the other may, at its option, have representatives present to observe any reading, inspecting, testing, calibrating, proving or adjusting of Measurement Facilities used in measuring or checking the measurement of receipts of Crude Oil under this Agreement. Gatherer shall provide at least two Days’ advance notice to Shipper of all provings and related calibration activities for any LACT meter unit. The data from such Measurement Facilities shall remain the property of the Measurement Facilities’ owner, but copies of such records shall, upon written request, be submitted to the requesting Party for inspection and verification.

Section 10.3 Measurement Accuracy Verification.

(a)Gatherer shall calibrate meters as often as required, as determined by Gatherer in accordance with standard industry practices and applicable regulatory standards to reasonably assure accurate measurement, but at least once per Month.

(b)If, during any test of the Measurement Facilities, an adjustment or meter proving error is found which results in an incremental adjustment to the calculated flow rate through each meter in excess of 0.25% of the adjusted flow rate (whether positive or negative and using the adjusted flow rate as the percent error equation denominator), then any previous recordings of such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period during which the error existed (and which period is either known definitely or agreed to by Shipper and Gatherer) and the total flow for the period redetermined in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.5. If the period of error condition cannot be determined or agreed upon between Shipper and Gatherer, such correction shall be made over a period extending over the last one half of the time elapsed since the date of the prior test revealing the 0.25% error.

(c)If, during any test of any Measurement Facilities, an adjustment or meter proving error is found which results in an incremental adjustment to the calculated flow rate which does not exceed 0.25% of the adjusted flow rate, all prior recordings and data shall be considered to be accurate for quantity determination purpose.

Section 10.4 Special Tests. If Shipper or Gatherer desires a test of any Measurement Facilities not scheduled by a Party under the provisions of Section 10.3, two Days’ advance notice shall be given to the other and both Shipper and Gatherer shall cooperate to secure a prompt test of the accuracy of such equipment. If the Measurement Facilities tested are found to be within the range of accuracy set forth in Section 10.3(b), then the Party that requested the test shall pay the costs of such test including any labor and transportation costs pertaining thereto. If the Measurement Facilities tested are found to be outside the range of accuracy set forth in Section 10.3(b), then the Party that owns such Measurement Facilities shall pay such costs and perform the corrections according to Section 10.5.

Section 10.5 Metered Flow Rates in Error. If, for any reason, any Measurement Facilities are out of adjustment, out of service or out of repair and the total calculated flow rate through each meter is found to be in error by an amount of the magnitude described in Section 10.3(b), the total quantity of Crude Oil delivered shall be determined in accordance with the first of the following methods which is feasible:

(a)by using the registration of any mutually agreeable check metering facility, if installed and accurately registering (subject to testing as provided for in Section 10.3);

(b)where multiple meters exist in series, by calculation using the registration of such meter equipment; provided that they are measuring Crude Oil from upstream and downstream headers in common with the faulty metering equipment, are not controlled by separate regulators and are accurately registering;

(c)by correcting the error by re-reading of the official meter, or by straightforward application of a meter factor to the quantities recorded for the period (if the net percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, tests or mathematical calculation); or

(d)by estimating the quantity, based upon deliveries made during periods of similar conditions when the meter was registering accurately.

Section 10.6 Record Retention. The Party owning the Measurement Facilities shall retain and preserve all test data, meter recordings and similar records for any calendar year for a period of at least 24 Months following the end of such calendar year unless Applicable Law requires a longer time period or the Party has received written notification of a dispute involving such records, in which case records shall be retained until the related issue is resolved.

Section 10.7 Summary Measurement Reports. If Gatherer develops summary measurement reports for the Xxxxx or the Gathering System, Gatherer shall provide Shipper copies of such reports to Shipper upon Shipper’s request.

(b)Shipper represents and warrants to Gatherer that, as of the Effective Date and at each time of tender of any Crude Oil at a Receipt Point: (i) none of such Crude Oil has flowed on a transportation pipeline but rather only on gathering lines and/or flowlines located entirely within the State of Texas, and (ii) Shipper has no fixed and persistent intention to further transport such Crude Oil in interstate commerce, but rather intends that such Crude Oil come to rest in Texas or that there shall be a sufficient break in the transportation movement in Texas such that any interstate movement of such Crude Oil will occur subsequent to, and as a separate movement from, any movement on the Gathering System. Further, Shipper represents and warrants that Shipper shall take no action during the term of this Agreement to subject the facilities, services or rates of Gatherer to the jurisdiction of the FERC or any successor agency either directly or through coordinated action with any affiliate or third party. The representations and warranties set forth in this clause (b) are a material inducement to Gatherer entering into this Agreement, and the breach of such representations and warranties constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

(c)Except to the extent required by Applicable Law, neither Party shall propose, or allow to be implemented, any provision in a Tariff or any amendment thereto that would conflict with the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

(d)This Agreement is subject to all valid present and future laws, regulations, rules and orders of Governmental Authorities now or hereafter having jurisdiction over the Parties, this Agreement, or the services performed or the facilities utilized under this Agreement. The Parties hereby agree that, in the event that (A) Gatherer’s facilities, or any part thereof, become subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or any successor agency thereto (“FERC”), or any other Governmental Authority of the rates, terms and conditions for service, (B) Gatherer becomes obligated by FERC or any other Governmental Authority to provide Services or any portion thereof on an open access, nondiscriminatory basis as a result of Gatherer’s execution, performance or continued performance of this Agreement or (C) FERC or any other Governmental Authority seeks to modify any rates under, or terms or conditions of, this Agreement, then:

(i) to the maximum extent permitted by law, it is the intent of the Parties that the rates and terms and conditions established by the FERC or any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction shall not alter the rates or terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Parties agree to vigorously defend and support in good faith the enforceability of the rates and terms and conditions of this Agreement;

(ii) in the event that FERC or the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction modifies the rates or terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree to negotiate in good faith to enter into such amendments to this Agreement and/or a separate arrangement in order to give effect, to the greatest extent possible, to the rates and other terms and conditions set forth herein; and

(iii) in the event that the Parties are not successful in accomplishing the objectives set forth in Section 17.17(d)(i) or Section 17.17(d)(ii) above such that the Parties are in substantially the same economic position as they were prior to any such regulation, then either Party may terminate this Agreement upon the delivery of 30 days prior written notice of termination to the other Party.

Exhibit C – Page 1

5.ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND INDEMNIFICATION. By its exercise of its rights hereunder, Grantee will (a) operate in good standing with all local, state, and federal environmental laws and regulations; and (b) take reasonable precautions to prevent unlawful contamination of the soils, ground water, surface water, or natural resources on the Easement or adjacent property. Grantee agrees to obtain any permits, licenses or similar authorizations required by applicable governmental authorities that may be necessary or required for Grantee’s activities on or use of the Easement. In the event of an unlawful release of any kind of any hazardous, dangerous, or toxic substance onto the Easement, Grantee agrees to remove the same (or if removal is prohibited by law, to take whatever action is required by law) upon discovery, at Grantee's sole cost and expense. If Grantee fails to comply with or perform any of the foregoing obligations, Grantor may (without any obligation, express or implied) remove any hazardous, dangerous, or toxic substance from the Easement or other property (or if removal is prohibited by law, take whatever action is required by law), and the reasonable cost of the removal or such other action shall be paid or reimbursed by Grantee to Grantor.

NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH OR ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL LIMIT OR IMPAIR ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES OF GRANTOR AGAINST GRANTEE OR ANY THIRD PARTY UNDER APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY RIGHTS OF CONTRIBUTION AVAILABLE THEREUNDER.

6.ANTIQUITIES. Grantee shall, at Grantee's cost and expense, comply with the Antiquities Code of Texas (Texas Natural Resources Code, Chapter 191) and all applicable rules promulgated thereunder. Grantee shall have no right, title, or interest in any archaeological articles, objects, artifacts or other cultural resources located on the Lands.

7.SURFACE USE LIMITATIONS. Grantee agrees that there shall be no fishing or hunting on the Easement or any of Grantor's adjacent property by any of Grantee’s officers, agents, employees, invitees, independent contractors, or guests. No firearms, dogs or other animals shall be permitted on the Easement.

8.MAINTENANCE.

Exhibit C – Page 2

9.LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES. Grantor shall not be liable or responsible for any claims or damages of any kind for injury to or death of any person or persons or for damages to or loss of property to the extent caused by Grantee or its agents, employees, independent contractors, guests, or invitees. Grantee shall be liable for any and all damages to the personal property and real property of Grantor caused by Grantee or its agents, employees, independent contractors, guests, or invitees; provided, however, that Grantee shall not be liable to Grantor for any damages resulting from Grantee’s exercise of the rights granted to it hereunder. In the event of damages not contemplated hereunder or in any subsequent agreement or payment between Grantor and Grantee, Grantee shall, at Grantee’s sole cost and expense and within sixty (60) days after written notification of such damages, restore to the extent reasonably practicable the Easement or other real or personal property of Grantor to the original condition existing prior to the damage.

10.INDEMNIFICATION. GRANTEE SHALL DEFEND, FULLY INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS, AND REIMBURSE FOR RELATED COSTS AND EXPENSES, GRANTOR AND ITS HEIRS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, EXPENSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION OF WHATEVER NATURE OF ANY PERSON OR PERSONS CAUSED BY GRANTEE'S ACTIVITIES ON THE EASEMENT. IN ANY SUIT OR ACTION FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM GRANTEE'S ACTIVITIES, IN WHICH ACTION GRANTOR IS INCLUDED AND MADE A DEFENDANT, GRANTEE AGREES TO PAY ALL COSTS (INCLUDING GRANTOR’S COSTS) AND EXPENSES OF DEFENDING THE SAME, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE PAYMENT OF ALL REASONABLE ATTORNEY'S FEES, COSTS OF SUIT, AND ANY JUDGMENT THAT MAY BE OBTAINED AGAINST GRANTOR, AND GRANTEE SHALL HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THE DEFENSE. THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION SHALL NOT APPLY IN THE EVENT OF LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, EXPENSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION BROUGHT AS A RESULT OF THE NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF GRANTOR.

11.TERMINATION. If Grantee gives written notice that it intends to abandon the Easement or fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such default is not cured within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice of default from Grantor, then, at Grantor’s option, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and the rights granted herein shall absolutely revert to and immediately revest in Grantor. Grantee shall in such event execute and deliver to Grantor a proper release, duly executed and acknowledged. Such termination and release will not relieve Grantee of its duties to restore the Easement and other property as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 11 to the contrary, this agreement shall not terminate if such alleged breach or default is being disputed by Grantee in good faith, in which case this Agreement shall not terminate until the parties have resolved such good faith dispute.

12.RESTORATION. At Grantor’s request, Grantee shall restore the Easement as soon as reasonably practicable after this Agreement terminates if it is determined that damages occur. Restoration shall be made as near as reasonably practicable to the condition when Grantee first entered onto the Easement.

13.MINERAL RESERVATIONS. Grantor expressly reserves and retains for itself, its heirs, successors and assigns, all oil, gas and other minerals in, on and under the Easement.

14.RIGHTS OF OTHERS AFFECTING THE EASEMENT. This Agreement is subject to any and all existing easements, rights-of-way, leases (including oil, gas and mineral leases), and any other third-party rights affecting the Easement or any part thereof, and all other presently-recorded matters that may affect the Easement or any part thereof, in each case, to the extent each is properly publicly recorded in the applicable county records as of the execution date hereof. Grantor reserves the right to grant future easements, leases rights-of-way, or other rights covering the Easement or any part thereof to the extent the same do not unduly or unreasonably interfere with Grantee’s rights hereunder. Grantor further reserves the right to use and enjoy the Easement insofar as the exercise thereof does not unduly or unreasonably interfere with Grantee’s use of the Easement.

15.NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT. It is understood and agreed by Grantor and Grantee that the rights granted herein are not exclusive to Grantee, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, maintenance and restoration obligations related to the Easement (“Common Obligations”) are shared amongst current and future holders of rights to the Easement. Grantor and Grantee shall make reasonable efforts to proportionately allocate and collect costs associated with Common Obligations among the various past, present and future right holders to the Easement.

Exhibit C – Page 3

16.ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with any subsequent agreements and payments made in connection with this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any and all other written or oral agreements or understandings concerning the subject matter hereof. No modification or amendment of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by all of the parties hereto.

17.SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision.

18.HEADINGS. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

19.GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas.

20.PROPORTIONATE REDUCTION. In the case that Grantor owns less than the entire, undivided surface estate, then the consideration and additional consideration shall be paid to Grantor only in the proportion that such interest bears to the whole and undivided estate. Grantor shall reimburse any amounts paid to Grantor for the portion of the undivided surface estate not owned by Grantor.

21.COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed an original for all purposes, with the same effect as if all parties had executed one instrument. Executed signature pages from different originals of this instrument may be combined to form a single original instrument for evidentiary purposes.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD unto Grantee, its successors, assigns and affiliates, and its and their agents, representatives, contractor’s, officers, directors and employees, for the uses and purposes, and subject to the covenants, conditions and stipulations hereinabove set forth.
