expected TOTS Date during the Term but after December 31, 2027, DBM will, within
*** (***) Days of receiving a Well Notice, notify AEP in writing whether or not
DBM elects to connect such planned Well to the System.
(i)    If DBM elects to connect the planned Well, then DBM will, subject to
applicable law and the terms of this Agreement, construct, install and operate,
at its sole cost, the pipeline assets and appurtenances it deems necessary to
connect the planned Well and, upon completion, include such pipeline assets and
appurtenances in the System and provide service to the planned Well pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.
(ii)    If, DBM determines that the then applicable rates do not support the
cost of connecting the planned well, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to
revise the rates as necessary to support the costs. If DBM elects not to connect
the planned Well, then AEP may (x) construct, own, and operate the facilities
necessary to deliver its Gas from the Well to a mutually agreeable point on the
System and reimburse DBM for the costs for pipeline assets and appurtenances
incurred by DBM to connect such AEP’s facilities to the System (it being
understood that such AEP’s facilities shall NOT be considered part of the System
and that service under this agreement shall commence with respect to such Well
once both Parties have completed their required facilities); or (y) request a
permanent release in writing for such planned Well and a reversion of the
Transportation Interests to AEP insofar only as Gas that may be produced and
saved from such Well(which shall be granted within five (5) business Days after
DBM’s receipt of such written request).
(d)    DBM will, to the extent it is obligated to construct Well connection
facilities pursuant to Section 3.7(b) or elects to do so pursuant to Section
3.7(c)(i), endeavor to construct the Well connection facilities on a
commercially reasonable basis but does not guarantee that the facilities will be
available for commercial service on or before the expected TOTS Date shown on
the relevant Well Notice. If the Well connection facilities for an AEP Well are
not available for commercial service within *** (***) Days after the expected
TOTS Date shown in the applicable Well Notice, then (i) AEP’s Gas from that Well
shall be temporarily released from the Dedication until DBM notifies AEP that
the relevant Well connection facilities are available for commercial service;
and (ii) the Parties will endeavor to identify mutually agreeable alternatives.
ARTICLE IV

accept Non-Conforming Gas from AEP to the extent, and for so long as, AEP is
unable to deliver Gas conforming to the Specifications or, at DBM’s sole
discretion, accept such Non-Conforming Gas and charge AEP a mutually agreeable
Non-Conforming Gas fee, provided that even if the Parties mutually agree on a
Non-Conforming Gas fee, DBM may, in its sole discretion, cease accepting
Non-Conforming Gas at any time. If DBM at any time accepts delivery of
Non-Conforming Gas, that acceptance will not constitute a waiver of this
provision with respect to any future delivery of Gas. AEP AGREES TO ASSUME ALL
LIABILITY FOR, AND AGREES TO PROTECT, DEFEND, RELEASE, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD
HARMLESS DBM’S INDEMNITEES AGAINST, ANY COSTS, EXPENSES, LOSSES, DAMAGES AND
LIABILITIES TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY AEP’S NON-CONFORMING GAS, but only to the
extent DBM did not knowingly accept AEP’s Non-Conforming Gas. In addition, if
AEP’s Non-Conforming Gas is delivered into DBM’s System without the prior
knowledge of DBM, and the quality deficiency of that Gas damages any person’s
(including DBM’s) pipelines or facilities, AEP AGREES TO ASSUME ALL LIABILITY
FOR, AND AGREES TO PROTECT, DEFEND, RELEASE, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS DBM’S
INDEMNITEES AGAINST, ALL DAMAGES TO SUCH FACILITIES CAUSED BY, OR TO THE EXTENT
CONTRIBUTED TO BY, AEP’S NON-CONFORMING GAS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
no event will AEP be responsible for the payment of DBM’s or its Affiliates’
Consequential Damages, and DBM hereby waives any and all claims it may have
against AEP for such Consequential Damages on behalf of itself or its
Affiliates, arising in connection with this Agreement, REGARDLESS OF FAULT.
Further, the Parties understand and agree that the indemnity and defense
obligations contained in this Section 5.3 do not include indemnification for any
exemplary or punitive damages under any applicable law or otherwise.

ARTICLE VI
GATHERING RATE
Section 6.1    Fees. For the services provided herein, DBM will charge AEP the
following fees:
(a)    Gathering Fee: DBM will charge AEP a fee (in $/Mcf or $/MMBtu as
applicable) that will apply to all AEP’s Gas received at the Point(s) of Receipt
as set out below (the “Gathering Fee”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that
the Gathering Fee set forth in this Section 6.1(a) includes DBM’s recovery of
and return on capital, while the other fees in this Agreement only include
recovery of non-capital costs. Therefore, capital costs associated with such
other fees will be included in the cost of service calculation pursuant to
Section 6.3. For example, capital expense for compression facilities will be
included in the cost of service calculation pursuant to Section 6.3
notwithstanding the Compression Fee in Section 6.1(c).
(i)    The Gathering Fee for Lean Gas shall be $***/MMBtu (“Lean Gathering
Fee”).

Section 6.2    Electricity Costs Recovery. The Parties agree that if, after the
Effective Date, DBM utilizes electricity or other energy sources to power Gas
compressors or other operational facilities to provide the services hereunder,
then the Parties will amend this Agreement as necessary to provide DBM with the
opportunity to recover the cost of such electricity or other energy sources. .
Section 6.3    Cost of Service. The LP Rich Gathering Fee ($/Mcf) for the System
shall be a cost of service-based rate determined such that the annual sum of
revenue less expenses less capital (“Free Cash Flows”), when discounted at ***
percent (***%), sum to a net present value of zero (the “IRR Calculation”). The
IRR Calculation shall use all Free Cash Flows from January 1, 2008 through
December 31, 2027. The IRR Calculation will utilize Excel’s XNPV and XIRR
formula functions and assume mid-year discounting.
The LP Rich Gathering Rate shall be redetermined annually, effective on January
1st, by DBM to generate the IRR Calculation the (“Annual Rate Redetermination”).
Actual volumes, revenues (including the revenues from the fees set forth in
Section 6.1 above), expenses and capital will be used from January 1, 2008 up to
the current year (“Actualized Data”), provided that estimates may be used for
the immediately preceding year to the extent that actual volumes, revenues,
expenses and/or capital are unavailable. Forecasted volumes, revenues (including
the revenues from the fees set forth in Section 6.1 above), expenses and capital
(“Forecast”) will be used for the current year forward. In the event the
Forecast is not available in time to make the Annual Rate Redetermination for
the current year’s January billing cycle, the immediately preceding year’s rate
will be extended until such time as the adjusted rate can be determined which
will then be deemed to be effective January 1 of the current year.
Notwithstanding the above and for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments to any
prior period Actualized Data shall be incorporated in the Annual Rate
Redetermination.
An example of the output of the model used to calculate the cost of service rate
is included as Exhibit “F” hereto.
Section 6.4    Rate Reduction Incentive. For each Incentive Period shown on the
following table, if AEP delivers and DBM receives a volume of Rich Gas (in Mcf)
at the Point(s) of Receipt greater than or equal to the applicable Cumulative
Volume Threshold, then the corresponding Rate Reduction shall apply to the LP
Rich Gathering Fee in the applicable Rate Reduction Period. The Rate Reductions
are cumulative and shall be applied such that the LP Rich Gathering Fee is
calculated to achieve the target IRR and then the LP Rich Gathering fee is
reduced by the applicable Rate Reduction(s). For example, if AEP achieves the
Cumulative Volume Threshold in each of the three (3) Incentive Periods, then the
LP Rich Gathering Fee shall be reduced by $***/Mcf (i.e., 3 x $***/Mcf) in 2027.

and each January 1st thereafter by multiplying the then current fee by ***.

ARTICLE VII
MEASUREMENT AND TESTS
Section 7.1    Measurement Equipment. DBM will install, own, operate and
maintain industry standard type measurement equipment necessary to measure AEP’s
Gas gathered at each Point of Receipt. The volume of Gas will be measured by a
primary and secondary/tertiary measurement device that is accepted by industry,
state, and federal regulatory agencies. The most common primary devices are
orifice or ultrasonic meter tubes. These devices shall comply with the American
Petroleum Institute – Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 14.3
(latest revision), and American Gas Association Reports No. 3 and No. 9 (latest
revisions), where applicable. The secondary measurement device shall be an
electronic flow meter (“EFM”) that includes a temperature recording system. The
EFM shall meet and be capable of performing volume calculations according to the
current standards prescribed in the American Gas Association Report No. 3,
Orifice Metering of Natural Gas and Other Hydrocarbon Fluids, Parts 1-4 (latest
revisions), and shall comply with the American Petroleum Institute – Manual of
Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 21, Section 1 – Electronic Gas
Measurement (latest revision).
Section 7.2    Meter Testing. DBM will test the measurement equipment in service
at least semi-annually. AEP shall have the right to request that DBM test (at
AEP’s sole cost and expense) the measurement equipment between the regular
semi-annual tests.
Section 7.3    Equipment Inaccuracies. If, upon any test, the measurement
equipment at any Points of Receipt is found to be inaccurate, and the average
hourly inaccuracy in the computed receipts is not more than *** percent (***%)
of the average hourly rate of Gas flow on the Day of the most recent accurate
test, then previously calculated receipts will be considered correct in
computing the deliveries of AEP’s Gas under this Agreement, but such equipment
will immediately be adjusted to record accurately. If, upon any test, the
measurement equipment is found to be inaccurate, and the average hourly
inaccuracy in the computed receipts is more than *** percent (***%) of the
average hourly rate of Gas flow on the Day of the most recent accurate test,
then any previous recordings of such equipment will be corrected to zero error
for any period which is known definitely or agreed upon. If such period is not
known definitely or agreed upon, then such correction will be made for one half
the period since the date of the last meter test, but in no event shall any
adjustment extend back beyond six (6) Months from the date the error was first
made known by one Party to the other, so long as the meter testing is in
compliance with Section 7.2.

15

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

Section 7.4    AEP Meters. AEP will be entitled to install and operate, at its
own expense; at any Points of Receipt an industry standard meter such as will
enable AEP to check the volume of AEP’s Gas delivered at such Point. Should Gas
pulsation problems occur upstream of DBM’s meter at a Point of Receipt, AEP will
promptly take all actions necessary to mitigate such pulsation. If AEP exercises
this right of installing and operating a check meter, then, in the event of
failure of DBM’s meter to register accurately at any time, the registration of
AEP’s check meter, if accurately indicating within the tolerances provided
above, will be used to determine the volume of Gas delivered to DBM until such
time as DBM’s meter is adjusted, repaired, or replaced. If AEP’s check meter is
used for the purpose of determining the quantity and/or quality of Gas delivered
to DBM, AEP’s meter will be tested at least semi-annually. DBM shall have the
right to request that AEP test (at DBM’s sole cost and expense) such check meter
between the regular semi-annual tests.
Section 7.5    Remedies for Meter Failure or Repair. If DBM’s meter is out of
repair or is being tested, or if DBM’s meter becomes inoperative and manifestly
in error, and AEP has not installed a check meter as herein provided, or if such
check meter has been installed and fails to record accurately, then the volume
of AEP’s Gas delivered during the period DBM’s meter was inoperative will be
determined upon the basis of the best data available, using one of the following
methods:
(a)    by correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by
calibration, test or mathematical calculation; or
(b)    if the percentage of error is not ascertainable by calibration, test or
mathematical calculation, then by determining the volume delivered by reference
to deliveries during the most recent preceding period under similar conditions
when the meter was registering accurately.
Section 7.6    AEP Volume Measurement. The quantity of AEP’s Gas received will
be determined as follows:
(a)    The unit of volume for measurement of Gas delivered hereunder shall be
one thousand (1,000) Cubic feet of Gas at a base temperature of sixty degrees
Fahrenheit (60°F) and at an absolute pressure base of 14.65 psia.
(b)    The average absolute atmospheric (barometric) pressure will be assumed to
be 13.2 pounds per square inch irrespective of actual elevation or location of
the Points of Receipt above sea level or variations in actual barometric
pressure from time to time.
(c)    The arithmetic average determined to the nearest 1° Fahrenheit of the
temperatures recorded each day, or a fraction of such day if AEP’s Gas is not
delivered continuously during such day, will be used in calculating the AEP’s
Gas volume. If for any reason DBM’s recording thermometer is out of service,
AEP’s recording thermometer, if one is installed and operative, will be used in
the calculation of the AEP’s Gas volume.
(d)    Deviation from Boyle’s Law at the pressure, specific gravity and
temperatures upon delivery shall be calculated as outlined or described in
American Gas Association Report No. 8, Compressibility Factors of Natural Gas
and Other Related Hydrocarbon Gases and any supplements thereto and
modifications thereof as mutually agreed to by the Parties.

16

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

(e)    In determining the volume of AEP’s Gas delivered through the meter during
a daily period, an EFM will be programmed with the applicable factors and will
be used in determining the volume of AEP’s Gas delivered through the meter on a
real time basis. Such EFM will be of standard manufacture.
(f)    DBM shall determine the Gas stream composition, specific gravity, and
gross Heating Values based on any of the following: spot samples, composite
samples, on-line Gas chromatograph analysis or portable Gas chromatograph
analysis. The component analysis of the Gas shall be performed by Gas
chromatography in accordance with Gas Processor’s Association Standards 2261 and
2172 (latest revisions). Gas samples shall be obtained in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Gas Processor’s Association Standard 2166, Obtaining
Natural Gas Samples for Analysis by Gas Chromatography (latest revision), and
American Petroleum Institute – Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards,
Chapter 14.1, Section 1 (latest revision). Samples will be taken not less than
quarterly, but may be taken more often if deemed necessary by DBM or reasonably
requested by AEP, provided that AEP shall be responsible for the costs of
collecting and testing any additional samples taken at its request.
(g)    Tests for the oxygen, carbon dioxide, sulphur, and hydrogen sulfide
content of the Gas delivered hereunder shall be made as often as deemed
necessary by DBM, by means commonly used and accepted in the industry.
Section 7.7    Representative Present at Testing. AEP and DBM will have the
right to have representatives present at any time that the other’s measurement
equipment is installed, read, cleaned, changed, repaired, inspected, calibrated,
or adjusted or at any time AEP’s Gas is sampled or tested. AEP and DBM will each
give the other reasonable notice prior to the time of all tests so that the
other may conveniently have its representatives present. Measurement and testing
records will remain the property of their owner, but upon request each Party
will submit to the other its records and charts, together with calculations
therefrom, for inspection and verification, subject to return within thirty (30)
days after receipt thereof.
Section 7.8    Data Retention. Each Party will preserve for the use of both
Parties, for a period of two (2) years, all test data, charts, and other similar
records pertaining to the gathering of AEP’s Gas.
Section 7.9    Settlement Data. DBM shall provide to AEP or AEP’s designee
information reasonably sufficient to allow AEP or its designee to allocate gas
processing products (i.e., residue gas, condensates, natural gas liquids) to
each Point of Receipt.
ARTICLE VIII
BILLINGS AND PAYMENT
Section 8.1    Invoice. On or before the last Day of the Month following the
Month of receipt and delivery of AEP’s Gas, DBM shall furnish, or cause to be
furnished, a statement and invoice to AEP showing the quantity of AEP’s Gas
received at each Point of Receipt, the total quantity of Gas delivered at the
Point(s) of Delivery, the applicable Heating Value, and the total amount due
DBM. On or before the tenth (10th) Day following the date DBM’s invoice is sent
(the “Due Date”), AEP shall make payment to DBM at the address shown in Article
X hereof. If AEP, in good faith, disputes the amount of any such statement and
invoice or any part thereof, AEP shall pay such amount as it concedes

17

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

to be correct; provided, however, that if AEP disputes the amount due, it must
provide supporting documentation acceptable in industry practice to support the
amount paid or disputed. In the event the Parties are unable to resolve such
dispute, either Party may pursue any remedy available at law or in equity to
enforce its rights pursuant to this Section 8.1. If AEP is ultimately determined
to owe any unpaid, disputed amount, it shall also pay interest on such amount as
determined pursuant to Section 8.2.
Section 8.2    Interest. Commencing on the Day following the Due Date, interest
shall accrue on any unpaid balance at the “Prime Rate” per annum published daily
in the Wall Street Journal in the “Money Rates” column, plus *** percent (***%),
until same is paid, compounded quarterly; provided, however, that such rate
shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate established in the state where the
Delivery Point(s) is/are located. In the event the Prime Rate plus *** percent
(***%) exceeds the maximum lawful rate, the applicable interest rate shall be
the maximum lawful rate. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (or
366, as the case may be) day-year for the actual Days elapsed.
Section 8.3    Books & Records. Each Party shall have the right at reasonable
hours to examine the books, records, EGM data and charts of the other Party to
the extent necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, charge,
computation, or payment made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Any
such examination shall be conducted during normal business hours and in the
appropriate office of the Party owning such books, records, EGM data and charts,
as mutually agreed to by DBM and AEP. If any such examination reveals any
inaccuracy in any billing or payment theretofore made, the necessary adjustment
in such billing and payment shall be promptly made, provided that no adjustment
for any billing shall be made and payments shall be considered final after the
lapse of two (2) years from the rendition thereof, except to the extent that
either Party has noted a specific exception to the other Party in writing during
that period.

REGULATIONS AND CHOICE OF LAW
Section 13.1    Laws. This Agreement is subject to all valid orders, laws, rules
and regulations of duly constituted governmental authorities having jurisdiction
or control over the Parties, their facilities or Gas supplies, this Agreement or
any provisions hereof. If at any time during the period of gathering of Gas
hereunder, any such governmental authority shall take or threaten to take any
action as to any Party whereby the delivery, gathering, and redelivery of Gas,
as contemplated hereunder, shall be proscribed or possibly subjected to terms,
conditions, restraints or regulations (including without limitation by
enumeration, rate or price controls or ceilings) that, in the sole judgment of
the Party affected would be adverse or unduly burdensome to that Party, such
Party may, upon written notice, terminate this Agreement without further
liability, except as to obligations previously accrued.
Section 13.2    Choice of Law. As to all matters of construction and
interpretation, this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed by
the laws of the State of Texas without reference to the law regarding conflicts
of law, and the venue to resolve any dispute hereunder shall be Houston, Texas.

from all suits, actions, accounts, damages, costs, losses and expenses arising
from or out of adverse claims of any or all persons regarding said Gas, its
components royalties, taxes, fees, or charges thereon.

22

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

Section 14.2    Suspension. DBM may, in addition to and without waiving any
other rights hereunder, immediately suspend its services hereunder in the event
that it has reason to believe either (i) that there is a title dispute as to Gas
AEP delivered, or (ii) that any Gas delivered by AEP is being produced or
delivered in violation of applicable regulations.
ARTICLE XV
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 15.1    Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. However,
neither Party may transfer or assign, in whole or in part, this Agreement or its
rights and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed;
provided, however, that either Party will have the right to assign, in whole or
in part, this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate
upon notice to, but without the consent of, the other Party. An assigning Party
will not be released from its obligations under this Agreement unless the
assignee of the Agreement expressly assumes the obligations of the assigning
Party hereunder. No permitted assignment will affect or bind either Party until
such Party has been provided notice and a copy of such assignment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree and acknowledge that DBM’s
consent to an AEP assignment, in whole or in part, of this Agreement in
connection with the sale, transfer, or other conveyance of any Dedicated Lands
to an unaffiliated third party shall be expressly conditioned upon said
Dedicated Lands being subject to and bound by a Transportation Interest as
described herein. For the avoidance of doubt, any transaction (or series of
transactions) which results in any Dedicated Lands no longer being owned or
controlled, directly or indirectly, by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (or any
successor thereof) shall be deemed a transfer of such Dedicated Lands requiring
DBM’s consent and the grant of a Transportation Interest hereunder. The granting
of the Transportation Interest by AEP (or unaffiliated third party if approved
by DBM) shall be binding upon such unaffiliated third party and shall be in
accordance with the general terms set forth below:
(a)
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which will
be acknowledged, AEP will, to the maximum extent it has the right to do so,
grant, bargain, sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver unto DBM, from a time
before the assignment until the end of the Term, unless earlier reverted in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the sole and exclusive right to
transport Gas from AEP’s assigned Dedicated Lands, specifically the right to
gather, dehydrate, compress, meter and measure Gas that may be produced and
saved therefrom (the “Transportation Interests”).

(b)
At the end of the Term or upon the earlier termination of this Agreement as to
any Dedicated Lands in accordance with any express provision of this Agreement,
all of DBM’s Transportation Interests applicable to such Dedicated Lands will
revert automatically to AEP (or its assignee, as appropriate) or the other
applicable owners thereof, and DBM shall execute and deliver to AEP (or its
assignee, as appropriate) a recordable release and quitclaim in and to any
rights, including Transportation Interests, in such Dedicated Lands.

23

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

(c)
The Transportation Interests conveyed to DBM will be subject to (i) the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and (ii) with respect to third party
non-operated interests, the rights (if any) of the owners of such interests to
take in kind their share of Gas produced from the Dedicated Lands.

(d)
DBM and AEP agree, and the conveyance document shall affirmatively state, that
(i) the rights and obligations respecting the Dedication and the Transportation
Interest constitute a covenant running with the Interest of AEP in the Dedicated
Lands, and as such shall be binding upon and enforceable by each Party and its
permitted successors and assigns against the other Party and its successors and
assigns respecting any part of a subject interest so assigned or conveyed, (ii)
DBM and AEP intend that the conveyance of the Transportation Interests be a
conveyance of a portion of AEP’s real property interests included in the
Dedicated Lands (including the interests of others whose interests are
represented or controlled by AEP insofar only as AEP has the power and authority
to grant a Transportation Interest in the interests of such third parties), and
(iii) DBM has a determinable real property interest carved out of the Dedicated
Lands.

(e)
In connection with the release of Transportation Interests, if any, DBM and AEP
shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform
any additional acts that may become reasonably necessary or appropriate to
effectuate the reversion of such Transportation Interests.

(f)
AEP shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) cause any conveyance of part or
all of an Interest in the Dedicated Lands to be made expressly subject to this
Transportation Interest and to cause all transferees to execute a written
instrument in a form reasonably satisfactory to DBM acknowledging the conveyance
of the Transportation Interests. DBM shall likewise cause any assignment or
conveyance of the Transportation Interests to be made expressly subject to this
Agreement. DBM and AEP shall promptly execute, acknowledge, deliver and record
in the land records of the applicable jurisdiction(s) a short form
Transportation Interest Conveyance in the form of Exhibit “H” (the
“Conveyance”).

Section 15.2    Agreement Structure. All references in this Agreement to
Articles, Sections, sub-Sections, Exhibits and other subdivisions refer to
corresponding Articles, Sections, sub-Sections, Exhibits and other subdivisions
of this Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise. Titles appearing at the
beginning of any of such subdivisions are for convenience only and will not

Section 15.3    Governmental Action. If at any time after the Effective Date of
this Agreement, a governmental, quasi-governmental, judicial or other authority,
whether federal, state, local, international, or otherwise, takes or threatens
to take any action or inaction as to any Party to this Agreement whereby the
Gas, other hydrocarbon or inert substances, or any components thereof, or the
transportation, or other services related thereto, will be proscribed or
possibly subjected to terms, conditions, charges, fees, taxes, levies, imposts,
restraints, regulations, or costs, including, without limitation, rate or price
controls or ceilings, emissions or component allowances or burdens, or any other
actions that would make it materially economically burdensome for one or more of
the Parties, any affected Party may, upon at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice to the other Party, require good faith renegotiation of the terms
of this Agreement to cure, alleviate, or apportion such economic burden between
the Parties. If such renegotiation does not result in mutually agreeable amended
terms within sixty (60) Days following the beginning of such negotiations, the
affected Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon at least
thirty (30) Days’ additional written notice to the other Party, to terminate
this Agreement.
Section 15.4    Adequate Assurance of Performance. When reasonable grounds for
insecurity of payment arise, either Party may demand adequate assurance of
performance. Adequate assurance shall mean sufficient security in the form and
for the term reasonably specified by the Party demanding assurance, including,
but not limited to, a standby irrevocable letter of credit or a prepayment, a
security interest in an asset acceptable to the demanding Party or a performance
bond or guarantee by a creditworthy entity. If a Party fails to provide adequate
assurance of performance within three (3) business Days after receipt of the
other Party’s request, then the requesting Party will have the right to suspend
or reduce all services and obligations under this Agreement without prior notice
and without limiting any other rights or remedies available to it under this
Agreement or otherwise. If after initial failure to provide adequate assurance
of performance a Party fails to cure the default by providing adequate assurance
of performance within two (2) business Days, then the requesting Party shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement with five (5) Days’ prior written
notice to the other Party, in addition to any and all other remedies available
hereunder.
Section 15.5    Unpaid Amounts. DBM may immediately suspend receipts from AEP
hereunder in the event AEP has not paid any amount due DBM hereunder on or
before the thirtieth (30th) Day following the date such payment is due or if AEP
is in material breach of this Agreement. Each Party reserves to itself all other
rights, set-offs, counterclaims, and other defenses which it is or may be
entitled to arising from this Agreement.
Section 15.6    Conspicuousness. Each Party agrees that, to the extent required
by applicable law to be effective, the provisions in this Agreement in bold-type
are conspicuous for the purpose of any applicable law.
Section 15.7    Amendment. Any change, modification or alteration of this
Agreement shall be in writing and signed by the Parties; and, no course of
dealing between the Parties shall be construed to alter the terms of this
Agreement.

25

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

Agreement are for the sole benefit of AEP and DBM, and no third party is
intended to benefit other than persons entitled to indemnification hereunder.
Section 15.9    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between and among the Parties regarding the subject matter of this
Agreement, and supersedes any other agreements, whether written or oral, that

disclosing Party shall remain liable for any use or disclosure by such receiving
person(s) which the disclosing Party was not otherwise permitted to make
pursuant to this Agreement; or (vi) as required to make disclosure in compliance
with any applicable law or national securities exchange rule or requirement, in
which event the disclosing Party shall notify the other Party as soon as
practicable.

nor any course of conduct or course of performance hereunder constitutes or may
be construed to constitute or create a joint venture, partnership, or any other
similar arrangement between the Parties.

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT
DATED JANUARY 1, 2018
BY AND BETWEEN

GAS NOMINATIONS AND BALANCING

Daily Nominations. AEP shall nominate by 10:30 a.m. five (5) Business Days prior
to each Month, through DBM’s written nomination form and in accordance with
DBM’s nomination procedures, the quantity of Gas per Day (“Daily Nominated
Quantity”) that AEP will deliver to DBM at each Point of Receipt and/or receive
at each Point of Delivery (or pipeline interconnect, if available) for that
Month. DBM, in its reasonable discretion, may accept nominations at such later
time as operating conditions permit, and may waive any nomination requirement.
Intra-Day or Intra-month nominations will be made in accordance with DBM’s
nomination procedures. The quantities to be gathered shall be as agreed to by
the Parties (the “Confirmed Nominations”). DBM shall have no obligation to
gather AEP’s Gas on any Day for which AEP does not have a Confirmed Nomination.
AEP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Gas to the Points of
Receipt at a reasonably uniform daily rate of flow.

Right to Balance. The Parties agree that during the term hereof DBM shall have
the right to operate its System and to accept and deliver Gas hereunder in such
a manner as to maintain balance between receipts and deliveries of Gas subject
to this Agreement as closely as possible. DBM will have the right and option (i)
to refuse to accept AEP’s Gas in excess of its Confirmed Nominations at the
Delivery Point, and (ii) to refuse to accept Gas delivery nominations at the
Delivery Point if such nominations exceed the quantity of AEP’s Gas available at
the Delivery Point.

GAS GATHERING AGREEMENT
DATED JANUARY 1, 2018
BY AND BETWEEN
DELAWARE BASIN MIDSTREAM, LLC

Curtailment and Release Procedures
From and after the Effective Date, DBM will provide Firm Service in the System
for delivered Gas. DBM shall endeavor to regulate the flow of Gas in the
quantities and at the times desired by DBM to prudently operate downstream
facilities and/or to meet the fluctuating conditions of DBM’s markets. DBM may
curtail service, in whole or in part, on all or any portion or portions of the
System, at any time (i) for reasons of Force Majeure incurred by DBM, (ii) when,
in DBM’s reasonable judgment, capacity obligations, capacity limitations, or
operating conditions so require, (iii) following reasonable notice to AEP, when
it is desirable or necessary to make modifications, repairs or operating changes
to the System, (iv) due to AEP’s material breach of this Agreement, or (v) for
any other reason expressly permitted herein (including, for example, AEP’s
delivery of Non-Conforming Gas). In each case, DBM shall use reasonable efforts
to identify and curtail only those producers whose Gas is delivered through the
particular Receipt Point(s) or portion(s) of the System, which are subject to
curtailment. If DBM restricts the flow of AEP’s Gas delivered to the Points of
Receipt for any reason, then, subject to DBM’s operational and capacity needs,
DBM will endeavor to (y) curtail the gathering and treating of Gas which is
entitled to Interruptible Service before curtailing the gathering and treating
of Gas which is entitled to Dedication Service or Firm Service; and (z) to
curtail the gathering and treating of Gas which is entitled to Dedication
Service before curtailing the gathering and treating of Gas which is entitled to
Firm Service.
(a)    DBM may, with no liability to AEP, interrupt gathering services as
necessary to test, alter, modify, enlarge, or repair any facility or property
comprising a part of, appurtenant to, or otherwise relating to the operation of
the System. Except in cases of unforeseen emergency, DBM shall give advance
notice to AEP of its intention to interrupt services, stating the anticipated
timing, duration and magnitude of each interruption in such notice.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
upon commercial operation of any Receipt Point, if DBM fails to take the full
quantities of AEP’s Gas at such Points of Receipt (excluding (i) those instances
when (A) DBM rejects AEP’s Gas because it fails to meet the quality
specifications set forth in Section 5.1, (B) AEP fails to deliver Gas at a
pressure sufficient to enter DBM’s System, and (ii) AEP’s material breach of
this Agreement), the amount of Gas not received by DBM at such Points of Receipt
shall be temporarily released from this Agreement, and AEP shall have the right
to dispose of such Gas in any manner it desires, provided that such release
shall terminate, and all of AEP’s Gas will again be subject to this Agreement,
at such time as DBM is able to receive such Gas on a consistent basis at such
Receipt Point.

D -1

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

(c)    If (i) DBM suspends, curtails, is unable or fails to take receipt of any
volume of AEP’s Dedicated Gas at any Point of Receipt due solely to a Force
Majeure event declared by DBM (excluding ***) not caused in part or in whole by
AEP, (ii) such suspension, curtailment, or failure continues with respect to the
same Force Majeure event declared by DBM for more than *** (***) Days within a
year; and (iii) no event has occurred or condition exists that constitutes a
material breach or violation of, or a failure to comply with, this Agreement on
the part of AEP which remains uncured, then AEP, at its option, may request
permanent release of the affected Gas from the Dedication and the Transportation
Interests insofar only with respect to such affected Gas by delivering written
notice thereof to DBM (which shall be granted within five (5) business Days
after DBM’s receipt of such notice). In connection with the release of
Transportation Interests pursuant to this Exhibit “D”, DBM and AEP shall execute
and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional
acts that may become reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
reversion of Transportation Interests with respect thereto.
(d)    AEP agrees that the Gas received by DBM under this Agreement will
constitute part of the supply of Gas from all sources in DBM’s System, and DBM
has the right to commingle the Gas delivered by AEP pursuant to this Agreement
with other Gas, to deliver molecules different from those received from AEP and,
subject to DBM’s obligations hereunder, to handle the molecules received from
AEP and others in any manner.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, AEP agrees
that the temporary release (set forth in (b) above) and permanent release (set
forth in (c) above) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to AEP for
DBM’s failure(s) for any reason to receive AEP’s Gas at a Point of Receipt.
