Article 4
Measurement Devices

Section 4.1 Measurement Devices.

(a) Except as provided in Section 4.1(d) below, Midstream Co shall construct, install, own, and operate (or cause to be constructed, installed, and operated) the Measurement Devices located at the Measurement Points. Midstream Co may, in its discretion, construct, install, own, and operate (or cause to be constructed, installed, and operated) Measurement Devices at Retention Facilities and at other points in the Individual System.

(b) Midstream Co shall cause all Measurement Devices that are owned by Midstream Co to be constructed, installed, and operated in accordance with applicable Law, resource industry standards, and governmental regulations, as set forth in the current System Plan.

(c) Each Party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to install, own and operate (or cause to be constructed, installed and operated) “check meter” Measurement Devices located at the Measurement Points, Receipt Points and Delivery Points for which the other Party is responsible for the controlling Measurement Device (i.e., the Measurement Device on which Monthly settlement statements will be based). Each Party shall cause its “check meter” Measurement Devices to be installed, subsequent to providing a minimum of 72 hours’ notice to the other Party, so as not to interfere with the other Party’s Measurement Devices and shall take steps that are reasonable and customary in the industry to mitigate or prevent any quality problems that may interfere with the other Party’s Measurement Devices at the Measurement Points.

(d) Midstream Co may elect to use a Producer Meter as the Measurement Device for a Measurement Point in lieu of constructing, installing, owning, and operating a Measurement Device located at such Measurement Point by providing notice to Producer (including by detailing such election in the applicable System Plan). If Midstream Co elects to use such Producer Meter as the Measurement Device for a Measurement Point, Producer shall provide Midstream Co reasonable

- 26 -

Third Amended and Restated
Fresh Water Services Agreement

access to such Producer Meter, including prior advance notice of, and the ability to witness, the calibration of such Producer Meter.

(e) Producer and Midstream Co shall cause Measurement Devices owned by such Party to be constructed, installed and operated in a manner which is agreeable to all parties involved and satisfies local and state regulation.

(f) Midstream Co may (but shall not be obligated to) replace or make any alterations to the Measurement Devices necessary to comply with any applicable Law, resource industry standards, and governmental regulations. With respect to Producer Meters that Midstream Co has elected to use, Producer may (but shall not be obligated to) replace or make any alterations to the Measurement Devices necessary to comply with any subsequent amendments, revisions or modifications of applicable Law, resource industry standards, and governmental regulations.

(g) The accuracy of all Measurement Devices at the Measurement Points and Delivery Points, and of all Measurement Devices that serve as “check meters” for any such Measurement Point or Delivery Point Measurement Devices will be verified by the owner of such Measurement Device (the “Owner”) at Monthly intervals and, if requested, in the presence of a representative of the other Party (the “Beneficiary”). The Owner shall verify the accuracy of any owned Measurement Device before the next Monthly verification required by the preceding sentence if the Beneficiary makes a written request for a special test as described below. If, upon any test, any Measurement Device is found to be inaccurate by 2% or less previous readings of such Measurement Device will be considered correct in computing the deliveries of Fresh Water under this Agreement. If, upon any test, any Measurement Device is found to be inaccurate by more than 2% (excessive meter factor deviation), such Measurement Device will immediately be removed from service, adjusted, calibrated, repaired or replaced to record accurately (within the manufacturer’s allowance for error) and reproved prior to returning to service. If the excessive meter factor deviation can be explained by changing conditions (gravity, temperature or flow-rate) no corrective action may be taken if mutually agreed upon by both Owner and Beneficiary. Any previous recordings of such Measurement Device with an excessive meter factor deviation will be corrected by using the arithmetic average of the malfunction factor and the previous factor shall be applied to the production measured through the meter between the date of the previous factor and the date of the malfunction factor. The proving report must clearly indicate the meter’s malfunction factor and all remarks associated with the repairs and adjustments. If Beneficiary desires a special test of any Measurement Device, at least 72 hours’ advance written notice will be given to the Owner, and the Parties will cooperate to secure a prompt test of the accuracy of such Measurement Device. If the Measurement Device so tested is found to be inaccurate by 2% or less, the Owner will have the right to ▇▇▇▇ the Beneficiary for the costs incurred due to such special test, including any labor and transportation costs, and the Beneficiary will pay such costs promptly upon invoice therefor.

(h) If requested by the Beneficiary, the Measurement Devices owned by Owner shall include a sufficient number of data ports, and Owner shall permit Beneficiary to connect to such data ports, as shall be required to provide to Beneficiary on a real-time basis all measurement data generated by such measurement equipment. Beneficiary shall be responsible at its own cost for obtaining equipment and services to connect to such data ports and receive and process such data.

AS USED IN THE PRECEDING TWO SUBCLAUSES, THE PHRASE “REGARDLESS OF FAULT” SHALL MEAN, WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOSS THAT IS CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR OTHERWISE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER FAULT, OF ANY MEMBER OF MIDSTREAM CO GROUP OR THE PRODUCER GROUP, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CAUSE OR CAUSES THEREOF AND WITHOUT LIMITATION OF SUCH LOSS AND WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION.

the negligence or willful misconduct of said indemnifying Party or such Party’s Group, or (b) in the case of Producer as indemnifying Party, results from claims by a Third Party of title, rights, or encumbrances in or to Fresh Water delivered by Producer to a Receipt Point.

Section 15.3 Reserved.

Section 15.4 Insurance. Midstream Co and Producer shall (a) carry and maintain no less than the insurance coverage set forth in Exhibit D, and (b) cause such insurance to be (i) the primary coverage without any right of contribution from any other insurance held by the other Party to the extent of the insured Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder, and (ii) written and endorsed to include waivers of all subrogation rights of the insurers against Midstream Co and its Group (in the case of Producer’s insurance) or Producer and its Group (in the case of Midstream Co’s insurance). Unless Producer is Original Producer, Producer shall also cause the insurance carried and maintained by it pursuant to this Section 15.4 to be endorsed to name Midstream Co and its Group as additional insureds or provide blanket additional insured status that covers Midstream Co and its Group as additional insureds, except in the case of worker’s compensation insurance. Any insurance provided by OpCo on behalf of Midstream Co that comports with this Section 15.4 shall be deemed to satisfy these requirements.

Article 16
Assignment

Section 16.1 Assignment of Rights and Obligations under this Agreement.

(a) Assignment. Except as specifically otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Party nor OpCo shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part) to another Person except with the prior consent of Midstream Co (in the case of an assignment by Producer) or Producer (in the case of an assignment by OpCo or Midstream Co), which consent may be withheld at such Party’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Producer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person to whom Producer assigns or transfers an interest in any of the Dedicated Properties insofar as this Agreement relates to such Dedicated Properties without the consent of Midstream Co; provided that (A) such Person assumes in writing the obligations of Producer under this Agreement insofar as it relates to the portion of the Dedicated Properties so assigned or transferred, such writing shall take the form of an Agreement Addendum, executed by the applicable Midstream Co and the Producer Assignee (and others, if appropriate) and such writing shall be recorded in the real property records of the counties in which the Dedication Area is located, (B) such assignment is made subject to this Agreement, (C) if such assignment or transfer is made to an Affiliate of Producer, the Original Producer shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Agreement, and (D) if such transfer or assignment is to a Producer Assignee (a “Third Party Assignment”): (1) the Original Producer shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Dedicated Properties so assigned or transferred, (2) at least thirty (30) Days prior to the closing date of the Third Party Assignment (or, if the period between signing and closing is less than thirty (30) Days, as early as possible and in no event less than two Business Days prior to the closing of the Third Party Assignment) Producer shall cause the proposed Producer Assignee to deliver an updated

Development Report to Midstream Co and (3) prior to or on the closing date of the Third Party Assignment, the Producer Assignee shall deliver to Midstream Co (x) a copy of the writing pursuant to which the Third Party Assignment is occurring, and (y) documentation of any Conflicting Dedication affecting the Producer Assignee.

(b) Notice; Binding Effect. Within 30 Days prior to the date of execution of a permitted assignment by Producer, Producer shall give Midstream Co notice of any assignment of this Agreement or Dedicated Properties. Midstream Co shall give Producer written notice of any assignment of this Agreement within 30 Days after the date of execution of such permitted assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Parties. Any attempted assignment made without compliance with the provisions set forth in this Section 16.1 shall be null and void ab initio.

(c) Releases not Assignments. Any release of any of the Dedicated Properties from the Dedications pursuant to Section 2.4 shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of such Dedicated Properties for the purposes of this Article 16.

Section 16.2 Pre-Approved Assignments.

(a) Each Party shall have the right without the prior consent of the others to (i) mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise impress a lien or security interest upon its rights and interest in and to this Agreement, and (ii) make a transfer pursuant to any security interest arrangement described in (i) above, including any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure and any assignment from the holder of such security interest to another Person.

(b) Original Producer (but not any subsequent Producer or Producer Assignee) may Transfer Dedicated Properties free of terms, conditions and obligations of this Agreement in a Transfer (a “Proposed Transaction”), subject to Original Producer’s compliance with the following:

(i) Where such Transfer is an exchange of Net Acres of undeveloped Dedicated Properties (the “Outbound Acreage”) for equivalent Net Acres of properties of a Third Party located in the Dedication Area, which such properties become subject to the Dedication under this Agreement (the “Inbound Acreage”), as determined by Original Producer in good faith taking into account (v) the number of Net Acres in the Outbound Acreage compared to the Inbound Acreage (which must be within plus or minus 10%), (w) the location and proximity to of the Inbound Acreage to an Individual System, including anticipated costs and expenses to install, build, construct or otherwise place into service infrastructure for the Outbound Acreage compared to the Inbound Acreage (x) the production reserves, development plan and timing to bring such production online of the Outbound Acreage compared to the Inbound Acreage, (y) the value of the Outbound Acreage vs. the Inbound Acreage (disregarding any benefit that is expected to accrue to Original Producer and its Affiliates, but including any value that Midstream Co could reasonably be expected to gain through the Proposed Transaction), and (z) such other operational and financial considerations as would be taken in similar transactions in accordance with generally accepted industry practice (including by way of accelerating volumes to be gathered by

- 47 -

Midstream Co and whether Original Producer is trading non-operated acreage for operated acreage); then:

(A) Original Producer shall give Midstream Co at least 60 Days’ prior written notice of the Proposed Transaction, which notice shall be by email from an authorized officer of Producer holding an office of vice president or more senior and shall include (1) descriptions of the Inbound Acreage (including section, township and range (or similar information), an estimate of the number of gross acres in a lease multiplied by the lessor’s mineral interest (“Lease Acres”), Net Acres, Lease Acres multiplied by the applicable net revenue interest (“Net Revenue Acres”), and the portion of such Lease Acres that Original Producer anticipates it would operate, if it acquires such acreage), (2) descriptions of the Outbound Acreage (including section, township and range (or similar information), an estimate of the number of Lease Acres, Net Acres, Net Revenue Acres, and the portion of such Lease Acres that Producer anticipates it would have operated, had it not assigned such acreage) and reasonably detailed supporting documentation of Producer’s analysis pursuant to clauses “(v)” through “(z)” above, (3) name of the entity or entities that are counterparties to the Proposed Transaction, if not confidential, (4) a detailed description of the Services that would be provided on the Outbound Acreage vs. the Inbound Acreage, (5) the value that Producer anticipates that it would receive if Producer consummates the Proposed Transaction and the value that Producer anticipates it will lose if it does not consummate the Proposed Transaction, and (6) any other information as Producer determines to be germane;

(B) The intended execution date for the Proposed Transaction and the intended closing date for the Proposed Transaction;

(C) Midstream Co shall have 15 Business Days to provide written notice to Original Producer if it disputes that the Outbound Acreage and Inbound Acreage are equivalent, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation; and

(D) Producer shall reimburse Midstream Co in full for all actual costs and expenses incurred by Midstream Co to install, build, construct or otherwise place into service infrastructure for the Outbound Acreage, so long as Midstream Co had informed Producer of its intention to install, build, construct or otherwise place into service the applicable infrastructure by inclusion of same in a System Plan delivered prior to the closing of the applicable Transfer.

(c) Upon Producer or its Affiliate (as applicable) providing reasonable documentation to show that it has satisfied, or will satisfy upon the closing of the Proposed Transaction, the applicable requirements of Section 16.2(b) above, then, subject to such satisfaction of the applicable

- 48 -

Third Amended and Restated
Fresh Water Services Agreement

requirements of Section 16.2(b) above, Producer and/or its Affiliate (as applicable) shall be entitled to a permanent release from the Dedications of its relevant interests in the Dedicated Properties and the production attributable thereto, effective as of the closing of the Proposed Transaction. If Producer or its Affiliate is entitled to a release from the Dedications pursuant to this Section 16.2, Midstream Co shall, within 10 Days following Producer’s written request, execute and deliver to Producer a release agreement, reasonably acceptable to all Parties and in recordable form, that reflects such release from the Dedications. If the Proposed Transaction does not occur within 120 Days of the satisfaction of the requirements of this Section 16.2, Producer or its Affiliate will not consummate the Proposed Transaction without again complying with this Section 16.2.

Section 16.3 Change of Control. Except as provided in Section 16.1, nothing in this Article 16 shall prevent Producer’s members or owners from transferring their respective interests (whether equity or otherwise and whether in whole or in part) in Producer and nothing in this Article 16 shall prevent Midstream Co’s members or owners from transferring their respective interests (whether equity or otherwise and whether in whole or in part) in Midstream Co. However, if a change of control of a Party gives rise to a reasonable basis for insecurity on the part of the other Party, such change of control may be the basis for a request of Adequate Assurance of Performance. Each member or owner of Producer or Midstream Co, as applicable, shall have the right to assign and transfer such member’s or owner’s interests (whether equity or otherwise and whether in whole or in part) in Producer or Midstream Co, as applicable, without restriction contained in this Agreement.

Article 17
Other Provisions

Section 17.1 Relationship of the Parties. The execution and delivery of an Agreement Addendum shall create a binding agreement between the Parties signatory thereto or, in the case of the OpCo Agreement Addendum, the Producer signatory thereto and OpCo, consisting of the terms set forth in such Agreement Addendum together with the terms set forth in these Agreement Terms and Conditions. The signatories of one Agreement Addendum shall not be bound to or otherwise in privity of contract with the signatories of any other Agreement Addendum, and the execution and delivery of each Agreement Addendum shall form a separate and distinct contract.

There are no warranties, representations, or other agreements between Producer and Midstream Co or OpCo (as applicable) relating to the subject matter hereof except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, including the exhibits hereto, and no Party or OpCo shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise, inducement, or statements of intention not so set forth.

Section 17.4 Waivers; Rights Cumulative. Any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof may be waived only by a written instrument executed by or on behalf of the Person waiving compliance. No course of dealing on the part of any Party or OpCo, or their respective officers, employees, agents, or representatives, nor any failure by a Party or OpCo to exercise any of its rights under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or affect in any way the right of such Party or OpCo at a later time to enforce the performance of such provision. No waiver by any Party or OpCo of any condition, or any breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of any breach of any other term or covenant. The rights of Producer, Midstream Co, and OpCo (as applicable) under this Agreement shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude the exercise of any other right.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration then in effect (the “Rules”) by a sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules.

Section 17.9 Severability.

A ruling of invalidity, illegality or unenforceability as to one Agreement shall only be applicable to that Agreement, not all the Agreements covered by these Agreement Terms and Conditions.

Section 17.10 Counterparts.
