anniversary of the Effective Date, the Parties shall enter into good-faith
discussions to determine the monthly rental rates for all Equipment then leased
by MLP OpCo hereunder and for the Equipment then listed on Schedule 3. Such
monthly rental rates shall be redetermined to equal the market rates then being
charged by third parties to lease the same or similar equipment and services in
the Gathering Agreement AMI, as the case may be, in arms-length transactions,
without considering the costs to transport the Equipment to the installation
site and to install and remove the Equipment. Proposals or bids received by MLP
OpCo from non-Affiliated parties to lease the same or similar equipment in the
Gathering Agreement AMI shall be indicative of market rental rates and services.
Upon reaching agreement on the redetermined monthly rental rates, the Parties
shall amend the Schedules to this Agreement to include such redetermined monthly
rental rates. Such redetermined monthly rental rates shall remain in effect for
the remaining term of this Agreement and shall be escalated by the increase in
the CPI-U over the most recent 12-month period (for which data is available)
beginning on the 8th anniversary of the Effective Date and on each anniversary
of the Effective Date thereafter. If the Parties fail to reach agreement on
redetermined monthly rental rates for any Equipment at least 12 months prior to
the 7th anniversary of the Effective Date, MLP OpCo may, at its option,
terminate this Agreement upon 60 days’ prior Notice to CHK Compression, with
such termination to be effective on the date specified in such termination
Notice but no earlier than the 7th anniversary of the Effective Date.

(c) Standby Rates and Cancellation. For all Equipment described in Schedule 3
ordered by MLP OpCo hereunder from Schedule 3, the lease of such Equipment shall
commence on the first day of the month following the later of (i) the date on
which CHK Compression

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

notifies MLP OpCo that the Equipment is RTS (the “RTS Date”) or (ii) the date on
which such MLP OpCo requested that such Equipment be delivered, which date shall
be the Contract Start Date for such Equipment. Beginning on the Contract Start
Date, a “Standby Fee” equal to **% of the monthly base rental rate will be
charged by CHK Compression on such Equipment until the first day of the month
following the date on which the Equipment is installed and first commences
operation on such Gatherer’s site. Thereafter, the monthly base rental rate will
be charged by CHK Compression for such Equipment. If any Equipment is moved, at
the request of a Gatherer, to another site as provided below, the new site will
be billed commencing on the first day of the month immediately following the
move. The old site will be billed through the end of the month during which the
move occurred. Orders placed by MLP OpCo for new Equipment to be built can be
cancelled by MLP OpCo, in its discretion, subject to MLP OpCo reimbursing CHK
Compression for all out-of pocket fees incurred by CHK Compression with respect
to such cancellation. If MLP OpCo does not need the Equipment on the Contract
Start Date, the Standby Fee will be charged until the Equipment is rented at a
rental rate equal to or greater than **% of the then-effective monthly rental
rate for such Equipment, either by MLP OpCo or to a third party customer.

(d) Maintenance and Repair. CHK Compression shall be responsible for the
maintenance and repair of the Equipment, as provided herein, except in cases
where damage is due to a Gatherer’s gross negligence. Without limiting the
foregoing, CHK Compression shall provide all lubricating oil and antifreeze for
the Equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications as part of
the services it provides hereunder.

(e) Emissions Services. CHK Compression shall cause the Equipment to be
maintained in a manner that permits the Equipment to be operated by Gatherers in
compliance with all Applicable Laws, including all applicable permits relating
to air emissions in effect at the time of installation, and shall perform the
other emissions services as provided below. CHK Compression will exercise
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Equipment to meet future emission
regulations. As part of the services provided hereunder, CHK Compression shall
include the on-skid Equipment needed for pollution containment (but CHK
Compression shall not be obligated to remove any liquids collected in such
facilities). Additionally, if MLP OpCo from time to time requires any other
emissions services in connection with Equipment leased hereunder that are not
contemplated by this Agreement, CHK Compression agrees to perform such services
for MLP OpCo at CHK Compression’s actual cost, to include labor, at their
current published labor rates, which labor rates shall be no less favorable to
MLP OpCo than the labor rates charged by CHK Compression to its Affiliates.

 

  (f) Release, Replacement, and Relocation.

1) Release. By providing no less than 60 days Notice prior to the end of the
Primary Lease Term for any Equipment or at any time thereafter, such Equipment
can be released and returned to CHK Compression by MLP OpCo (after the Primary

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lease hereunder and replace such Equipment with any other Equipment either
(i) maintained in inventory by CHK Compression and not then committed to a
non-Affiliated party or (ii) located in the Gathering Agreement AMI and past the
Primary Lease Term, or earlier if mutually agreed to by both Parties in writing,
for such Equipment. The Contract Start Date for new Equipment added under clause
(i) of the previous sentence shall be the date the Equipment is replaced.
Additionally, at any time after the end of the Primary Lease Term, MLP OpCo
shall have the right to request, and CHK Compression shall provide and deliver,
the most recent comparable model of such Equipment as a replacement for such
Equipment hereunder. The Contract Start Date of Equipment replaced after the end
of the Primary Lease Term will be the same as the start date of the Contract
Continuation Period during which the Equipment was replaced. If MLP OpCo
provides Notice to CHK Compression that it elects to have CHK Compression
replace any such Equipment, CHK Compression shall remove and replace such
Equipment as soon as reasonably practicable.

3) Relocation. MLP OpCo shall have the right to request that CHK Compression
change the location of any Equipment in the Gathering Agreement AMI by providing
Notice to CHK Compression. CHK Compression shall, as soon as reasonably
practicable, relocate such Equipment as provided in MLP OpCo’s Notice.

4) Costs. The reasonable out-of-pocket removal, transportation, and installation
costs incurred by CHK Compression to release, replace, or relocate any Equipment

under Applicable Laws, CHK Compression will provide to MLP OpCo the following
emission services at a monthly fee of **% of the applicable monthly rental rate
specified on Schedule 1, Schedule 2, or Schedule 3, as adjusted pursuant to
Section 3(b) for such Equipment:

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) quarterly portable analyzer emission testing will be provided by CHK
Compression following the approved protocol of Gatherers and completed as
required by Applicable Laws or the applicable air permit and the test report
will be provided to MLP OpCo within 14 days following the test;

2) purchasing of all catalyst elements and catalyst installation, maintenance,
cleaning, and replacement; and

3) all maintenance to the engine’s emission controls and hardware required for
air permit compliance (in effect at the time of unit installation), including
performing necessary tests to confirm the engine is meeting emissions standards.

All parts and labor required or necessary to perform the services above shall be
provided by CHK Compression, other than such parts and labor required to repair
damage caused by the gross negligence of Gatherers or the delivery of gas that
did not meet the specifications in the applicable Gathering Agreement.

(c) Testing Notice. MLP OpCo will provide Notice to CHK Compression of any
scheduled “EPA Method” emission testing for any Equipment no less than 14 days
prior to the test date or soon as practicable after Gatherers receive notice of
such test. If the test is cancelled due to a mechanical failure of the
Equipment, CHK Compression will provide at least 2 days Notice of such
cancellation (unless mechanical failure of the Equipment requires a shorter
notification period).

(d) Coordination. CHK Compression and MLP OpCo shall jointly coordinate the
performance of the emissions services hereunder with all applicable Governmental
Authorities having jurisdiction.

(e) Termination. MLP OpCo, at its option and from time to time, may terminate
the performance of all or any part of the emissions services provided hereunder
by providing no less than 6 months Notice to CHK Compression. At any time after
the 2nd anniversary of the Effective Date, CHK Compression, at its option, may
terminate the performance of the emissions services under Section 4(b) above by
providing no less than 6 months prior Notice to MLP OpCo. Upon any such
termination by either Party, CHK Compression shall, at the request of MLP OpCo,
provide transition services to Gatherers (including training and materials) for
any reasonable period of time requested by MLP OpCo, at MLP OpCo’s cost. Upon
any such termination of such emissions services by MLP OpCo, MLP OpCo may, at
its option, purchase all of CHK Compression’s relevant emission services
equipment within 14 days (at CHK Compression’s cost), including all hand held
analyzers and related tools, but excluding the portable test trailers, to the
extent required by Gatherers to perform such emissions services. CHK Compression
will transfer such emissions equipment to MLP OpCo or its designee free and
clear of all liens and other encumbrances.

 

  5. Hydrogen Sulfide.

If the gas to be compressed contains quantities of Hydrogen Sulfide (“H2S”) in
excess of ** parts per million (“ppm”) on a system average basis for any month,
as indicated by gas analysis (“High H2S Gas”), this Section 5 will apply.

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) Equipment Modification. Because of the high concentration of H2S, CHK
Compression, at its sole discretion, may modify or replace certain components of
any affected Equipment, which modifications or replacements shall be solely
related to the safety of personnel and the safe operation of the affected
Equipment, so as to allow it to safely compress High H2S Gas without undue
damage or wear or risk to personnel. The reasonable cost of these equipment
modifications will be borne by MLP OpCo.

(b) Equipment Inspection and Repair. Upon return of the affected Equipment,
there will be a joint inspection of the affected Equipment by CHK Compression
and MLP OpCo. Any damages to the affected Equipment directly attributable to
quantities of H2S in excess of 100 ppm, such as accelerated degradation,
pitting, or excessive corrosion, will be remedied to a similar condition as
would have occurred had High H2S Gas not been compressed at the expense of the
MLP OpCo.

(c) H2S Rate Adder. Because CHK Compression’s Environmental Health & Safety
policies and safety practices require certain precautionary measures for High
H2S Gas and H2S operations will potentially result in greater wear on the
Equipment, a rate adder for High H2S Gas service will be included as delineated
in Table 5(c) below. This monthly adder, calculated as a percentage of the
monthly rental rate specified on Schedule 1, Schedule 2, or Schedule 3, as
adjusted pursuant to Section 3(b), will be included in each invoice (prorated
for partial month invoices) as a separate line item subject to all applicable
taxes.

(d) Sweetening Equipment and Chemicals. Gatherers will be responsible for
providing all required sweetening chemicals and associated equipment and any
required sweet or inert purge gas as needed at no cost to CHK Compression.

(e) Fuel Gas. In the event fuel gas sweetening is required to accomplish such,
Gatherers must provide an appropriately sweetened fuel gas for the unit at no
cost to CHK Compression.

 

  6. Billing and Payment.

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) Invoices. CHK Compression shall invoice MLP OpCo in electronic format by the
15th day of the month for amounts due hereunder for Equipment leased in the
prior month and provide to MLP OpCo a statement setting forth (i) the Equipment
leased hereunder in such month and (ii) all amounts due by MLP OpCo hereunder.
CHK Compression’s invoices shall include information reasonably sufficient to
explain and support the charges reflected therein. MLP OpCo shall remit or cause
Gatherers to remit to CHK Compression the amount due, by wire transfer, by the
25th day of each month or 10 days from the date of receipt of CHK Compression’s
electronic invoice, whichever is later. If such due date is not a business day,
payment is due on the next business day following such date.

(b) Disputes. If MLP Op Co, for itself or on behalf of any Gatherer, in good
faith, disputes the amount of any invoice or any part thereof, MLP OpCo will pay
CHK Compression such amount, if any, that is not in dispute and shall provide
CHK Compression Notice of the disputed amount accompanied by supporting
documentation acceptable in industry practice to support the disputed amount. If
the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute, either Party may pursue any
remedy available at law or in equity to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

(c) Late Payments. If MLP OpCo fails to pay the amount of any invoice rendered
by CHK Compression hereunder when such amount is due, interest thereon shall
accrue from, but excluding, the due date to, and including, the date payment
thereof is actually made at the lesser of the Prime Rate plus 2%, computed on an
annualized basis and compounded monthly, or the maximum rate of interest
permitted by Applicable Law. “Prime Rate” means the prime rate on corporate
loans at large U.S. money center commercial banks as set forth in The Wall
Street Journal “Money Rates” table under the Heading “Prime Rate,” or any
successor thereto, on the first date of publication for the month in which
payment is due.

(d) Audit Rights. MLP OpCo and CHK Compression shall be entitled to audit rights
with respect to this agreement as provided in the Gathering Agreements with
respect to the Gatherers and such rights are incorporated herein for all
purposes as between MLP OpCo and CHK Compression.

taxes or charges (including any interest and penalties) now or hereafter imposed
by any Governmental Authority on the leasing, operation, or use of the Equipment
by Gatherers, and prepare and file any tax and other similar returns required to
be filed with respect thereto. Upon receipt of Notice from CHK Compression, MLP
OpCo will provide or cause Gatherers to provide copies of such returns to CHK
Compression.

8. Delivery, Inspection, and Acceptance. For Equipment held on standby for MLP
OpCo that is RTS, CHK Compression shall deliver such Equipment to Gatherer’s
site by no later than 14 days after the date on which the Equipment was
requested by MLP OpCo. No later than 7 days after delivery of the Equipment to
Gatherer’s site, MLP OpCo shall cause Gatherer to inspect the Equipment. Unless
MLP OpCo provides Notice to CHK Compression within such 7-day period of any
defects or deficiencies in such Equipment, Gatherer shall be presumed to have
accepted the Equipment in its then present condition. If within such 7-day
period, MLP OpCo provides Notice to CHK Compression of the unacceptability of
the Equipment, CHK Compression shall correct such defects as soon as
commercially practicable but no later than 14

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

days after the date of MLP OpCo’s Notice or CHK Compression will retrieve and
remove the Equipment by such date, at its cost, and MLP OpCo shall have no
payment obligations hereunder with respect to such Equipment. Upon delivery of
any Equipment, Gatherer shall thereupon assume the care, custody, supervision,
and control of the Equipment. Any acceptance by Gatherer of any Equipment shall
not relieve CHK Compression of its obligations hereunder in respect of such
Equipment.

9. Delivery and Installation. MLP OpCo agrees to bear all costs of installing
and connecting the Equipment upon delivery by CHK Compression to Gatherers’ site
and disconnecting the Equipment prior to its return to CHK Compression. All
out-of-pocket, third party costs of transporting the Equipment from CHK
Compression’s yard to Gatherers’ site and of transporting the Equipment from
such site back to CHK Compression’s yard will be at the expense of MLP OpCo,
including all crane expenses. As part of such installation, CHK Compression will
assist Gatherers in identifying and obtaining service for the appropriate
utilities for the Equipment, but MLP OpCo shall be responsible for causing the
installation of such utilities.

 

  10. Performance Guarantees.

(a) Run Time Guarantee. CHK Compression guarantees that the Equipment will be
mechanically available for use by Gatherers no less than **% of time in each

11. Use by Gatherers. MLP OpCo agrees to cause Gatherers to use the Equipment
only for the compression of gas in accordance with the specifications of the
manufacturer of the Equipment. At CHK Compression’s request, MLP OpCo shall
cause Gatherers to submit to CHK Compression monthly operating reports for the
Equipment. CHK Compression represents to MLP OpCo that the Equipment will
operate in accordance with the manufacturer’s design and performance
specifications. Without limiting CHK Compression’s obligations hereunder, MLP
OpCo will be responsible for loss of or damage to the Equipment after delivery
to Gatherers’ site and before redelivery of the Equipment to the transporter to
return the Equipment to CHK Compression.

 

  12. Maintenance.

(a) Repair and Replacement. CHK Compression agrees, at its own expense, to
maintain the Equipment in accordance with prudent industry standards for such
Equipment and in a manner that causes the Equipment to meet the performance
guarantees above, to operate in accordance with Applicable Laws, and otherwise
keeps the Equipment in good working order and condition. CHK Compression shall
perform all maintenance work and repairs, and make all replacements, necessary
to cause the Equipment to perform in accordance with such standards (including
providing, at CHK Compression’s expense, all replacement parts and equipment) no
later than 5 days, after MLP OpCo provides Notice to CHK Compression that the
Equipment is not performing in accordance with such standards. Such maintenance
and repair work includes installing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing all
on skid pollution control equipment required by Applicable Law for such
Equipment.

(b) Overhauls. Notice will be provided by CHK Compression to MLP OpCo no less
than 30 days prior to any scheduled engine overhaul or replacement, but in cases
of unscheduled (catastrophic or major) failures of Equipment, Notice will be
given as soon as possible by MLP OpCo.

(c) Gatherers’ Obligations. To facilitate the maintenance of the equipment by
CHK Compression hereunder, MLP OpCo shall:

1) provide CHK Compression with reasonable access to the Equipment to perform
its duties hereunder;

2) provide an inlet separator for the Equipment to remove solids (such as sand)
and all entrained liquids from the gas stream; provided that CHK Compression
will provide the on-skid scrubbers;

3) start and stop the Equipment as necessary from time to time by qualified
operators;

4) fill and top oil and coolant reservoirs in the Equipment as needed;

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) report leaks of oil or coolant from the Equipment to CHK Compression as soon
as practicable;

6) furnish free use of suitable, sweet, dry (without free liquids) natural gas
fuel for engine use; and

7) notify CHK Compression as soon as practicable of any Equipment breakdown or
malfunction.

(d) Remedies. If CHK Compression fails to maintain and repair any Equipment in
accordance with the obligations above, MLP OpCo may, at its election and upon 3
days Notice to CHK Compression, maintain and repair, or engage a third party to
maintain and repair, such Equipment. CHK Compression shall promptly reimburse
MLP OpCo for, or MLP OpCo may deduct from amounts owed by it hereunder, all
costs and expenses incurred by MLP OpCo or the affected Gatherer to perform, or
to cause to be performed, such maintenance and repair of such Equipment and the
monthly rental payment for such Equipment shall be prorated based on the number
of hours such Equipment was available in such month compared to the total number
of hours in such month.

13. Inspection. CHK Compression shall have the right at all reasonable times to
enter upon the premises where the Equipment may be located for the purpose of
inspection or observation of use by Gatherers.

14. Title; Personal Property; Encumbrances; Location. MLP OpCo covenants that
the ownership of the Equipment is and shall at all times remain in CHK
Compression. The Equipment shall remain personal property and never attach to or
become a fixture or otherwise affixed to any realty. The Equipment shall be
installed and used at the location specified in the Schedule pertaining thereto
and it shall not be removed therefrom without CHK Compression’s consent. MLP
OpCo will not sell, mortgage, assign, transfer, lease, sublet, loan, part with
possession, or encumber the Equipment or permit any liens or encumbrances or
charges to attach or become effective thereon or permit or attempt to do any of
such acts. MLP OpCo agrees, at its sole own expense, to take such action or
cause Gatherers to take such action as may be necessary to remove any such
encumbrance, lien, or charge and to prevent any third party from acquiring any
other interest in any Equipment (including by reason of such Equipment being
deemed to be a fixture or a part of any realty). If MLP OpCo fails to do so
within a reasonable period of time after receipt of demand from CHK Compression,
CHK Compression shall have the right to pay or otherwise settle such lien,
encumbrance, or charge and recover reimbursement of such amount from Gatherers.
Gatherers will not alter or remove any insignia, serial number or other
lettering of the Equipment.

15. Licenses, Permits, and Compliance. MLP OpCo, at its sole expense, shall:

1) comply with all Applicable Laws relating to the installation or operation of
the Equipment, or environmental requirements associated therewith (including air
emission, noise and environmental discharges); and

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) obtain and maintain throughout the rental term or any extension thereof any
and all licenses or permits necessary or appropriate to operate and maintain the
Equipment.

16. Waste Disposal. MLP OpCo shall bear responsibility for disposing all
liquids, solids, and hazardous wastes discharged by the Equipment while in a
Gatherers’ possession in accordance with all Applicable Laws, except spent

the primary term or any year thereafter.

 

  18. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

(x) excused by a Force Majeure Event or (y) cured by MLP OpCo within 60 Days

canceled by MLP OpCo without 30 days’ prior Notice having first been furnished
CHK Compression. CHK Compression shall be named an additional insured on all of
MLP OpCo’s required insurance, but only to the extent of the liabilities assumed
