Article 2

Product Dedication and Real Property Dedication

Section 2.1Producer’s Dedications.

(a)Product Dedication. During the Term, Producer dedicates, declares, pledges and commits (and has caused and shall cause its Affiliates to dedicate, declare, pledge and commit) to sell and deliver to Buyer, in accordance with the Buy-Sell Agreement, all of the Dedicated Production that is produced and saved and agrees not to sell, transfer or convey (and shall cause its Affiliates not to sell, transfer or convey) any of such Dedicated Production to any other Third Party gatherer, purchaser, marketer, or other Person prior to sale and delivery to Buyer at the Origin Points, in each case to the extent such delivery or sale would preclude Producer from complying with the Dedications hereunder. Beginning on the Effective Date and continuing during the Term, Producer shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) enter into any agreement that would give Control over any Dedicated Production to any Person other than Buyer or its Affiliates, unless such Person acknowledges in writing that all such Dedicated Production and the related Dedicated Interests shall continue to be subject to the Buy-Sell Agreement and this Agreement for the remainder of the Term, except as provided in Article 6 and Section 2.4(f). Producer shall exercise reasonable efforts to continue to Control the Dedicated Production that is Controlled by Producer or its Affiliates (excluding the Chevron Group) as of the Effective Date or which may be subsequently Controlled by Producer or its Affiliates (including Chevron Group) during the Term (and shall cause its Affiliates to use reasonable efforts to continue to Control the Dedicated Production that is Controlled by such Affiliates as of the Effective Date (excluding the Chevron Group) or may be subsequently Controlled (including the Chevron Group) during the Term). Subject to the foregoing, Producer shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) take any actions or make any omissions where the primary purpose or the primary result is to circumvent the Dedications made hereunder by delivering Dedicated Production to an Affiliate or a Third Party contrary to the terms herein.

(b)Real Property Dedication and Easement.

(i)During the Term, Producer hereby dedicates and commits (and shall cause its Affiliates to dedicate and commit) the Dedicated Interests to Buyer for the performance of the

Buy-Sell Agreement and, prior to the Destination Point, Producer hereby grants, bargains, sells, conveys, transfers, assigns and delivers unto Buyer the sole and exclusive right to purchase Dedicated Production therefor. The grant and dedication under this Section 2.1(b) (the “Real Property Dedication”) is a servitude in the nature of a real covenant that is intended to burden all of the right, title and interest of Producer and (A) as of the Effective Date, its Affiliates (excluding Chevron Group) and (B) after the Effective Date, its Affiliates (including Chevron Group), as applicable, in, under and with respect to the Dedicated Interests. Without limiting Section 2.3, the Parties acknowledge that the dedication of the Dedicated Interests to the performance of the Buy-Sell Agreement restricts Producer’s ability to use the Dedicated Interests for any purpose other than in compliance with this Agreement and in compliance with its obligations under the Buy-Sell Agreement, in each case to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Buy-Sell Agreement, as applicable.

(ii)To the extent that Producer or any of its Affiliates may lawfully and is contractually permitted to do so without the incurrence of any expenses (other than de minimis expenses) (unless the other Party agrees to reimburse Producer for such expense), Producer hereby grants, bargains, sells, conveys, transfers, assigns and delivers unto Buyer a non-exclusive easement (the “Easement”) in, on, under, over, across and through the Transportation Area for the purpose of (A) installing, constructing, operating, inspecting, repairing, maintaining, disconnecting, and removing all or any portion of any pipelines, meters and other facilities and equipment (collectively, the “Ancillary Pipeline Equipment”) used by Buyer to transport Dedicated Production to a Destination Point or as otherwise may be necessary for the performance of this Agreement or the Buy-Sell Agreement, as applicable, and (B) access to and from the Ancillary Pipeline Equipment. In exercising their rights under the Easement, Buyer (1) will not cause a breach by Producer or its Affiliates under the terms of, and will otherwise comply in all material respects with, all easement agreements, right-of-way agreements, oil and gas leases and other agreements to which Producer or any of its Affiliates is a party that give rise to Producer’s and its Affiliates’ right to grant the Easement, (2) will not unreasonably interfere with Producer’s or any of its Affiliates’ exploration, drilling or other operations with respect to the Dedicated Interests or rights of owners in fee with respect to applicable lands, and (3) will be subject to Producer’s and its Affiliates’ safety and other reasonable access requirements. Unless otherwise approved in writing by Producer, Buyer will not grant a subeasement or license over the Transportation Area to any Third Party or otherwise allow any Third Party to use the Easement, and Buyer will not utilize the Easement for the benefit of any Third Party; provided that upon request by Buyer Producer shall approve a subeasement to Lessor as required for Lessor to perform its obligations under the Capacity Lease (solely to the extent related to Producer’s Product, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Producer).

Section 2.2Conflicting Dedications.

(a)Producer and its Affiliates shall have the right to comply with (i) in the case of a permitted assignee of Producer or its Affiliate in accordance with Article 6, each of the Conflicting Dedications, as of the effective date of such assignment and (ii) any other Conflicting Dedication applicable as of the Effective Date or, in the case of subsequently acquired oil and gas leases or mineral interests, the date of acquisition of any oil and gas leases or mineral interests that are acquired by Producer or its Affiliates after the Effective Date and otherwise

would have become subject to the Dedications hereunder (but Producer or its Affiliates may not enter into any new Conflicting Dedications in connection with such acquisition beyond acknowledging or assuming pre-existing dedications applicable to such acquired oil and gas leases or mineral interests). Producer and its Affiliates shall have the right to comply with a Conflicting Dedication until the first day of the month following the termination of such Conflicting Dedication. Producer shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) extend or renew any Conflicting Dedication and shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) terminate each Conflicting Dedication as soon as permitted under the underlying contract without causing Producer or its Affiliates to incur any costs or expenses (other than de minimis costs or expenses which shall under no circumstance include any costs or expenses required to be paid to a Third Party counterparty to a Conflicting Dedication for the purposes of the early cancellation or termination of a Conflicting Dedication), in each case unless Buyer agrees to reimburse Producer or such Affiliate therefor in which case Producer shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) terminate each Conflicting Dedication as soon as permitted under the underlying contract. Except for acknowledging or assuming pre-existing dedications pursuant to clause (ii) above, Producer shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) enter into any new Conflicting Dedication, provided that this prohibition shall not apply to any Interests in the Dedicated Area held by any member of the Chevron Group as of the Effective Date.

(b)To the extent Producer claims that a Conflicting Dedication exists with respect to the sale and delivery of Product from specified Dedicated Interests, Buyer shall have the right to review the documentation creating such Conflicting Dedication, subject to confidentiality requirements applicable to such Conflicting Dedication.

Section 2.3Producer’s Reservation. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Producer reserves the following rights respecting Dedicated Production and Dedicated Interests for itself and its Affiliates:

(a)to operate (or cause to be operated) ▇▇▇▇▇ producing Dedicated Production in its sole and absolute discretion, including the right to drill new ▇▇▇▇▇, repair and rework old ▇▇▇▇▇, temporarily shut in ▇▇▇▇▇, renew, extend, terminate, surrender or release in whole or in part (including with respect to any portion of the acreage thereunder), any oil and gas lease or term mineral interest, or cease or reduce production from or abandon any Well for any reason;

If Lessor elects to exercise the Step-In Right, then Lessor shall provide Buyer and Producer with written notice of such election within 15 days after receipt of the Step-In Right Notice. Upon Lessor’s exercise of the Step-In Right, (A) Lessor shall be entitled to all rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement, (B) Producer and Buyer shall cooperate with Lessor to amend the Memorandum indicating that the Dedicated Interests are dedicated to Lessor as opposed to Buyer and to record that amendment in all relevant counties, (C) Lessor shall be entitled to a cure period until the first of the month that is at least 15 days after receipt of the Step-In Right Notice to cure the Subject Release Condition, and (D) Lessor and Producer shall negotiate in good faith to execute a novation and amendment to the Capacity Lease (the “Producer Lease”) whereby Producer is entitled to step-in and exercise all of Buyer’s rights and perform its obligations under the Capacity Lease, subject to and in accordance with the following principles: The Producer Lease will be on substantially the same terms as the Capacity Lease, provided (1) it will not include a minimum volume commitment, (2) it will be for a volume based on the average daily production delivered to the Pipeline Assets and attributable to the Dedicated Interests over the immediately preceding 12 months prior to the event that gave rise to the Release Condition and (3) the Dedicated Production will be transported for the fee set forth in the Capacity Lease. Simultaneously with the execution of the Producer Lease, Buyer and Lessor shall execute an amendment to the Capacity Lease providing that (I) Buyer shall remain liable for any then-current Capacity Volume Commitment (as defined in the Capacity Lease); provided that any volumes delivered by Producer under the Producer Lease shall be credited towards Buyer’s Utilized Capacity (as defined in the Capacity Lease) for the duration of such Capacity Volume Commitment (as defined in the Capacity Lease) and (II) Buyer’s Guaranteed Leased Capacity (as defined in the Capacity Lease) shall be reduced by the volume in the Producer Lease. If after such good faith negotiations, Lessor and Producer have not executed the Producer Lease within 18 months after Lessor’s exercise of its Step-In Right, this Agreement shall terminate.

(g)Producer Cure Rights. Lessor shall provide Producer a notice simultaneously to providing such notice to Buyer under the Capacity Lease if Buyer is in material default of the terms of the Capacity Lease (including any failure of Buyer to make timely payments thereunder, unless Buyer disputes such payments in accordance therewith) and Lessor intends to shut in the deliveries from any Origin Point, to suspend deliveries to the Destination Point under the Capacity Lease or to terminate such Capacity Lease due to such material default. Producer may, in Producer’s sole and absolute discretion, elect by written notice to Buyer and Lessor that it shall cure such material default on Buyer’s behalf within 15 days after receipt of Lessor’s notice. If Producer elects to cure such material default (i) it shall be entitled to a cure period until the

first of the month that is at least 15 days after the receipt of the notice from Lessor and (ii) during the cure period and to the extent Producer cures such material breach, Lessor shall not shut-in the deliveries from any Origin Point or suspend deliveries to the Destination Point under the Capacity Lease.

Section 2.5Covenants Running with the Land/Real Interests. Each of the Dedications and the Easement is a covenant running with the land, burdening the Dedicated Interests and all portions of the Dedicated Area in which Producer or any of its Affiliates has an interest (excluding any interests owned by the Chevron Group as of the Effective Date). Accordingly, the obligations of Producer under this Agreement with respect to the Dedications and the Easement are binding upon and run with the Dedicated Interests and Producer’s or its Affiliates’ real property interests in the Dedicated Area (excluding any interests owned by the Chevron Group as of the Effective Date), shall burden Producer’s or such Affiliates’ successors in ownership of the Dedicated Interests and their real property interests in the Dedicated Area, shall inure to the benefit of Buyer and its respective successors and assigns hereunder and under the Buy-Sell Agreement and are not executory contracts under Section 365 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. § 365). If Producer or its Affiliates sell, transfer, convey, assign, grant or otherwise dispose of any or all of its interests in the Dedicated Interests, then the grantee in such transaction, as the new owner of such interests, shall be bound by the Producer’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Dedications and the Easement. Moreover, the Parties acknowledge that Buyer has a real property interest, by way of the Easement, in the portions of the Dedicated Area that are subject to the Easement, and the Parties intend that Buyer have a determinable real property interest during the Term in the Dedicated Interests by way of the Real Property Dedication, including the rights set forth in Section 3.6. Producer represents and warrants that it (a) has the right to grant the Dedications and (b) has the right to grant the Easement, to the extent set forth in Section 2.1(b)(ii).

Section 2.6Recording of Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, and from time to time during the Term if requested by either Party if necessary for amendment or correction, the Parties shall each execute for recordation in the public records a memorandum of this Agreement (the “Memorandum”) in the form set forth on Exhibit B (modified as appropriate if in connection with an amendment or correction), identifying the Dedicated Area and the Dedicated Interests. Producer hereby authorizes Buyer to record the Memorandum and any amendment or correction thereof in the real property records of any county or other jurisdiction in which any part of the Dedicated Area is located. The Parties agree that until Buyer provides written notice to the contrary, all payment terms and pricing information, if any, shall remain confidential and shall be excluded or redacted from any filings in the real property records. Producer acknowledges that the right to the Memorandum is an integral part of the consideration for entering into this Agreement, and no additional consideration is necessary at the time of Producer’s execution and delivery of the Memorandum. The failure to file, supplement, or terminate the Memorandum or any other instrument pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall have no effect on the other rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

Section 2.7Representations and Warranties. Producer warrants to Buyer that, to the knowledge of the Producer Knowledge Parties, as of the Effective Date the following representations and warranties are true and accurate in all material respects:

(a)Other than all dedications or commitments of whatever title or form relating to take-in-kind rights, there are no Conflicting Dedications as of the Effective Date.

(b)Other than the ▇▇▇▇▇ connected to the production facilities described on Exhibit C, all ▇▇▇▇▇ producing Product from the Dedicated Interests are connected to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Ranch CGF as of the Effective Date.

Producer and its Affiliates shall not have a duty to maintain in force and effect any underlying agreements (such as any lease, easement, or surface use agreement) that the grant of access by Producer or its Affiliates under Section 3.1 is based upon, and such grant will terminate if Producer or its Affiliate loses its rights to the applicable property, regardless of the reason for such loss of rights. To the extent not addressed in Section 2.1(b)(ii), Section 2.3(a) or Section 2.5, Producer and its Affiliates shall not have a duty to maintain in force and effect the agreements (such as any lease, easement, or surface use agreement) underlying the grant of the Easement.

Section 3.3Buyer’s Grant of Access. Buyer hereby grants on a non-exclusive basis to Producer, without warranty of title, either express or implied, to the extent that Buyer may lawfully and is contractually permitted to do so without the incurrence of any expenses (other than de minimis expenses) (unless the other Party agrees to reimburse Buyer for such expense), the rights of ingress and egress to and from, and the right to access, all lands on which Buyer’s facilities related to the Buy-Sell Agreement and the Capacity Lease are located in order to exercise Producer’s and its respective Affiliates’ rights and obligations hereunder, or under the Buy-Sell Agreement, including the right to install, replace, disconnect, or remove any required facilities on such lands.

Each Party obtaining a right of access pursuant to this Article 3 shall have the status of “licensee,” except when such Party is accessing the applicable real property by way of the Easement, by way of any easement or similar agreement entered into under Section 3.6 or by way of a right-of-way, easement, or other similar real property right granted pursuant to a separate instrument.

Section 3.6Real Property Rights. To the extent a Party or its Affiliates has the contractual right and title to do so (including, with respect to Producer and its Affiliates, any and all rights granted under the Dedicated Interests’ oil, gas and mineral leases, mineral deeds, mineral interest reservations and other granting instruments with respect to easements, rights-of-way and other similar rights for purposes of laying, constructing, installing, maintaining, servicing, inspecting, repairing, or operating pipelines, meters and other equipment necessary for the receipt, treating, measurement, storage, gathering or transportation of Dedicated Production therefrom), such Party shall provide in writing to the other Party the right of usage or co-usage on the easements, sub-easements, rights of way, surface use, and other real property rights held by such Party or its Affiliate covering lands for which the other Party require real property rights to perform their obligations hereunder or under the Buy-Sell Agreement, all at no cost to the providing Party and pursuant to such documentation as the Parties agree is necessary or appropriate in their reasonable discretion. Where a Party or its Affiliate does not have the contractual right to do so, such Party or its Affiliate shall provide reasonable assistance to the other Party in obtaining the real property rights with respect to such lands as necessary or desirable to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Buy-Sell Agreement or the Capacity Lease (solely with respect to Producer’s Product, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Producer).

Article 6

Assignment

Section 6.1Assignment of Rights and Obligations Under this Agreement.

(a)Assignment. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.1, no right, interest or obligation of Buyer under this Agreement may be assigned or otherwise transferred by such Party without the prior written consent of the non-assigning Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided that, except for in the case of assignments permitted under Section 6.1(b), if Buyer is the assigning Party, this Agreement must be assigned contemporaneously with the assignment of the Buy-Sell Agreement. Producer’s obligations with respect to the Dedications and the Easement that run with the land bind Producer’s successor in ownership in the real property subject thereto and cannot be separately assigned hereunder. With respect to Producer’s rights and other obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth in this Article 6, no right, interest or obligation of Producer under this Agreement may be assigned or otherwise transferred by Producer without prior written consent of Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that, except in the case of assignments permitted under Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.1(c), any such assignment by Producer must be accompanied by a contemporaneous assignment of the Buy-Sell Agreement.

(b)Assignments to Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, either Party may assign its assignable rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of that Party without the consent of the other Party so long as the assigning Party remains liable for all obligations under this Agreement (unless otherwise consented to by the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c)Transfer by Producer of Dedicated Interests. If Producer or any of its Affiliates assigns or conveys all or any portion of its interest in any of the Dedicated Interests, (i) Producer or its Affiliate must, prior to the transfer, provide a complete copy of this Agreement, the Buy-Sell Agreement and the Memorandum to the transferee, (ii) the instrument of assignment or conveyance shall provide that this Agreement and the Buy-Sell Agreement are permitted encumbrances on the interest conveyed and that the transfer is subject to the terms hereof and thereof (such writing the “Acknowledgment and Assumption”), a copy of which shall be provided to Buyer prior to the transfer and (iii) the instrument of assignment or conveyance shall be recorded in all counties in which any of the land subject to the Dedicated Interests that have been assigned or conveyed is located. If such assignment or conveyance is made to an Affiliate of Producer, Producer shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Buy-Sell Agreement. If Producer or its Affiliates assigns or conveys the transferred Dedicated Interests to a Third Party (a “Third Party Transfer”), (A) the Producer and its Affiliates shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the Buy-Sell Agreement with respect to the Dedicated Interests so assigned or conveyed and (B) at least 30 days prior to the closing date of the Third Party Transfer (or, if the period between signing and closing is less than 30 days, as early as possible and in no event less than two business days prior to the closing of the Third Party Transfer), Producer shall deliver a copy of the instrument of transfer to Buyer and shall cause (or shall cause its Affiliate to cause) the proposed grantee to deliver to Buyer an updated nomination, a copy of the writing pursuant to which the Third Party Transfer is occurring, and documentation of any dedication of Interests or production within the Dedicated Area affecting the grantee, including any Conflicting Dedications; provided if such dedications would conflict with or result in a reduction in the Dedicated Production from the Dedicated Interests (after such Third Party Transfer) in excess of 10% of the aggregate volumes of Dedicated Production that Producer was ready and willing to sell under the Buy-Sell Agreement in the immediately preceding 12 months, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.1(c), such Third Party Transfer shall be subject to the prior written consent of Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties).

(d)Notice; Binding Effect. At least 30 days prior to the effective date of a transfer of Dedicated Interests by Producer or an Affiliate of Producer, Producer shall give Buyer notice of the proposed transfer. Each Party shall also give the other Party written notice of any assignment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(b) within 30 days after the date of execution of such permitted assignment. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement in violation of this Article 6 shall be null and void, and any transfer of Dedicated Interests with respect to which consent is required under Section 6.1(c) shall be a material breach hereunder if the required consent is not obtained.

(e)Other Permitted Assignments. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, each Party shall have the right without the prior consent of the other Party 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 clause (i) of this Section 6.1(e), including any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure and any assignment from the holder of such security interest to another Person. Each member or owner of Producer or Buyer, as applicable, shall have the right to assign (collaterally or absolutely) and transfer such member’s or owner’s interests (whether equity or otherwise and whether in whole or in part) in Producer or Buyer, as applicable, without the consent of any other Party.

Section 6.2Certain Permitted Acreage Swaps.

(a)Notwithstanding anything in Article 2 to the contrary, NEI and its Affiliates, but not any subsequent Producer hereunder (a “Producer Successor”), may transfer a portion of the Dedicated Interests free of the terms, conditions and obligations of this Agreement in a transfer (the “Permitted Swap”), where such transfer is an exchange of Net Acres of Dedicated Interests (the “Outbound Acreage”) for equivalent Net Acres (the “Inbound Acreage”), as reasonably determined by NEI in good faith, of properties of a Third Party located adjacent or contiguous to the Dedicated Area and the Inbound Acreage shall become subject to dedication hereunder. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, such Permitted Swap is not subject to the consent of Buyer if and only if the Outbound Acreage minus the Inbound Acreage (“Delta Acreage”) in the Permitted Swap, plus all Delta Acreage in all prior Permitted Swaps, is less than 8,752.10 acres.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in Article 2 to the contrary, NEI and its Affiliates, but not any Producer Successor, may transfer Dedicated Interests free of the terms, conditions and obligations of this Agreement in a transfer (a “Proposed Transaction”), other than a Permitted Swap, where such transfer is an exchange of Outbound Acreage for Inbound Acreage, as determined by NEI in good faith taking into account (i) the number of Net Acres in the Outbound Acreage compared to the Inbound Acreage, (ii) the location and proximity of the Inbound Acreage to the existing Producer ▇▇▇▇▇, including anticipated costs and expenses to install, build, construct or otherwise place into service infrastructure for the Outbound Acreage compared to the Inbound Acreage, (iii) the production reserves, development plan and timing to bring such production online of the Outbound Acreage compared to the Inbound Acreage, (iv) the value of the Outbound Acreage as compared to the Inbound Acreage (disregarding any benefit that is expected to accrue to NEI and its Affiliates, but including any value that Buyer could reasonably be expected to gain through the Proposed Transaction), and (v) 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 Buyer and whether NEI or its Affiliates is trading non-operated acreage for operated acreage). NEI and its Affiliates may pursue a Proposed Transaction in accordance with the following:

(i)NEI shall give Buyer at least 60 days’ prior written notice of the Proposed Transaction, which notice shall be by email from a commercial representative of NEI holding an office of vice president or more senior and shall include (A) 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 NEI anticipates it or its Affiliates would operate, if it acquires such acreage); (B) 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 NEI anticipates it or its Affiliates would have operated, had it not assigned such acreage) and reasonably detailed supporting documentation of NEI’s analysis pursuant to Section 6.2(b) clauses (i) through (v); (C) name of the entity or entities that are counterparties to the Proposed Transaction, if not confidential; (D) a detailed description of the services that would be provided on the Outbound Acreage as compared to the Inbound Acreage; and (E) any other information as Producer determines to be germane; and

(ii)Buyer shall have 15 business days to provide written notice to NEI if it reasonably and in good faith disputes that the Outbound Acreage and Inbound Acreage are equivalent, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation, in which case, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, NEI shall not be entitled to close the Proposed Transaction unless and until such dispute is resolved.

(c)Upon NEI 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 6.2(b), then, subject to such satisfaction, NEI or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall be entitled to a permanent release from the Dedications of the Dedicated Interests in the Outbound Acreage and the Dedicated Production attributable thereto, and the Inbound Acreage shall become subject to this Agreement and be deemed Dedicated Area, and NEI or such Affiliates’ Interests therein will be deemed Dedicated Interests hereunder, in each case effective as of the closing of the Proposed Transaction. If the Proposed Transaction does not occur within 120 days of the satisfaction of the requirements of this Section 6.2, NEI or its Affiliate will not consummate the Proposed Transaction without again complying with this Section 6.2.

Section 6.3Amendment to Memorandum. Upon request of Producer, the Parties will execute a modification to the Memorandum that reflects any changes to the Dedicated Area and Dedicated Interests resulting from any transactions permitted by this Article 6 and the modification will be recorded in the real property records of all relevant counties or other jurisdictions.

Section 6.4Releases Not Assignments. Any release of any of the Dedicated Production from the Dedications pursuant to Section 2.4 shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of underlying Dedicated Interests for the purposes of this Article 6.
