ACTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER AGREEMENT
2.1. Distribution Financial Support to AMID.
(a) The Supporting Party hereby acknowledges and agrees, that if the LP Merger is consummated, to provide financial support to AMID, as necessary, commencing with (i) the regular quarterly distribution for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 or (ii) if the Effective Time occurs after such time that the quarterly distribution for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 is determined or paid, the quarterly distribution for the quarter immediately following the Effective Time, (such distribution date, the “Commencement Date”), and ending with the regular quarterly distribution for the 8th quarter following the Commencement Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25.0 million (the “Cap”), such that, subject to the Cap and the provisions of Section 2.1(b), AMID will have LP DCF per Unit (as defined in Exhibit A) during the eight (8) consecutive quarters following the Commencement Date (the “Support Period”) equal to the amounts set forth on Exhibit A (each, a “Target DCF per Unit”).
(b) As soon as practicable, and in any event within 20 days, following the completion of each calendar quarter during the Support Period, AMID shall determine the LP DCF per Unit for such quarter, the Support DCF Per Unit, and the difference, if any (such difference, the “DCF per Unit Difference”), of (i) the Target DCF per Unit for such quarter set forth in Exhibit A less (ii) the LP DCF per Unit in respect of such quarter. The DCF per Unit Difference shall be multiplied by the number of Units outstanding, as such number of Units is determined pursuant to Exhibit A, as of the end of such quarter (such product, the “DCF Difference”). For any quarter in which the DCF Difference is negative, such negative amount(s) shall be reserved for use as credits against support obligations of the Supporting Party for future quarters during the Support Period (such unused credits, the “DCF Credits”). For any quarter in which the DCF Difference less any previously unused DCF Credits is positive, subject to the Cap, the Supporting Party shall provide support sufficient to eliminate such shortfall (the amount of such shortfall, the “Shortfall Amount”). Not later than 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter of the Support Period, AMID shall provide notice in writing to the Supporting Party of the LP DCF per Unit and the Shortfall Amount, if any, or DCF Credits, if any, for such calendar quarter, together with supporting financial information. No later than two (2) business days before the day on which the quarterly financial statements of AMID are to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the applicable calendar quarter of the Support Period, the Supporting Party shall provide the Shortfall Amount, subject to the Cap and any DCF Credits, pursuant to the terms agreed to by the Supporting Party and AMID GP. In connection with providing financial support for any Shortfall Amount, the Supporting Party and AMID GP will agree to any amendment to the AMID Partnership Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to document the form of the financial support mutually agreed to by the Supporting Party and AMID GP.
PAGE 3
(c) The Supporting Party’s obligations under this Section 2.1 shall terminate upon the first of the following to occur:
(i) The termination of the Merger Agreement;
(ii) aggregate support payments by the Supporting Party equal the Cap; or
(iii) payment of the Shortfall Amount, if applicable, for the quarter ending eight (8) consecutive quarters following the Commencement Date, or if there is no Shortfall Amount for such annual period then at the time notice of such determination is furnished by AMID to the Supporting Party.
(d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the financial support set forth in Section 2.1, Section 2.2, and Section 2.3 forms part of the consideration of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement. The financial support provided by the Supporting Party shall not constitute indebtedness or otherwise create any obligation for AMID to repay the financial support, or for AMID to issue any equity or other securities to the Supporting Party or its Affiliates in consideration thereof.
2.2. Expense Reimbursement.
(a) Magnolia agrees that from and after the Effective Time it will, without duplication of amounts reimbursed to JPE and JPE GP pursuant to that certain Expense Reimbursement Agreement, dated October 23, 2016, by and among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Midstream Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, JPE, and JPE GP, reimburse, or will pay directly on behalf of, JPE and JPE GP the third party reasonable costs and expense incurred by JPE and JPE GP in connection with the Merger, including but, without limitation, all reasonable legal, accountant, and financial advisory fees, regulatory expenses and other similar third party costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution and performance of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Merger.
(b) In addition, the Supporting Party shall bear AMID’s and AMID GP’s reasonable costs and expenses relating directly to the integration of JPE and JPE GP incurred during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Transition Period”), including, without limitation, severance and training costs, the net amount of any termination costs for offices and services, IT transition costs, relocation expenses and any incremental expenses incurred by AMID or AMID GP during such transition period that are temporarily duplicative of expenses incurred at JPE or JPE GP during such period (such as the incremental costs incurred by AMID associated with running parallel corporate functions in conjunction with an office move). At the end of each fiscal quarter during the Transition Period, AMID shall prepare and deliver to the Supporting Party an invoice containing the amounts and descriptions of all expenses for which reimbursement is sought under this Section 2.2(b), which shall be payable within thirty (30) days of receipt. The Supporting Party shall have the right to request additional documentation in support of any costs or expenses included in any such invoice. The obligations of the Supporting Party under this Section 2.2(b) shall terminate concurrently with payment of AMID’s final invoice for expenses incurred during the Transition Period.
2.3. Mutually Agreed Satisfaction of Supporting Party’s Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, AMID (subject to prior approval by the Conflicts Committee) and the Supporting Party may make a determination that the Supporting Party has satisfied the requirements of Section 2.1, Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 by such other methods as AMID and the Supporting Party determine to be appropriate.
PAGE 4
2.4. Extinguishment of JPE GP Debt. Prior to the Effective Time, the Supporting Party or its Affiliates shall take such action as shall be necessary or appropriate to eliminate (by payment in full, cancellation or otherwise) all outstanding indebtedness of JPE GP to the Supporting Party or any of its Affiliates, and after giving effect to such elimination there shall be no further liability (including any tax liability arising from such elimination) or obligation of JPE GP (or its successors, including AMID Merger Sub GP or AMID GP following consummation of the GP Merger) as a result of such elimination.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

6.7. Remedies.
(a) Each party hereto acknowledges that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any covenant or agreement in this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Each party hereto agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.
(b) All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such party.
6.8. Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations of any party under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part (by operation of law or otherwise), by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties hereto or the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
6.9. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of applicable Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
6.10. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one instrument.
