DEDICATION AND SERVICES
Section 2.1    Dedication; Producer Reservations; Release Rights.
(a)Dedication. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and solely
for the purpose of this Agreement, Producer hereby dedicates for the Services to
be provided by Processor under this Agreement and shall deliver or cause to be
delivered at the Delivery Point(s) the following:
(i)    all Gas owned by Producer that is produced and saved from wells now or
hereafter located within the Dedicated Area or on lands pooled or unitized
therewith, to the extent such Gas is attributable to Interests within the
Dedicated Area, now owned or hereafter acquired by Producer and not otherwise
delivered or used as permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and
(ii)    with respect to wells now or hereafter located within the Dedicated Area
or on lands pooled or unitized herewith for which Producer is the operator, Gas
for such wells that is owned by other working interest owners and royalty owners
(“Non-Op Gas”) but only to the extent and for the period that Producer has the
right or obligation to market such Non-Op Gas;
provided, however, with respect to any such Gas that is subject to a Prior
Dedication, such Gas shall not be subject to the dedication hereunder until the
expiration or termination of such Prior Dedication. Upon the expiration or
termination of that Prior Dedication, such additional Interests within the
Dedicated Area and such Gas attributable thereto will automatically be subject
to the dedication hereunder without any further actions by the Parties. Producer
shall notify Processor in writing of any such expiration or termination.
(b)Covenant Running with the Land. It is the mutual intention of the Parties
that, so long as the dedication in Section 2.1(a) is in effect, this Agreement
and the dedication under Section 2.1(a) and all of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement collectively shall (i) be a covenant running with the Interests
within the Dedicated Area and (ii) be binding on and enforceable by Processor
and its successors and assigns against Producer and its successors and assigns
of the Interests within the Dedicated Area. Each Party agrees to execute,
acknowledge, and deliver to the other Party from time to time such additional
agreements and instruments as may be reasonably requested by such other Party to
more fully effectuate the intention of the Parties set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, including a memorandum of this Agreement in the form set
forth on Exhibit G, and in the event of a permanent release or partial
assignment of the Interests dedicated hereunder, a memorandum of release in the
form set forth on Exhibit H. Producer shall cause any conveyance by it of all or
any of the Interests within the Dedicated Area to be made expressly subject to
the terms of this Agreement. By January 31 of each year, Producer and Processor
shall update Exhibit A to reflect any Interests within the Dedicated Area
(1) acquired by Producer, (2) permanently released by Processor, or
(3) partially assigned by Producer (and reflected in a Transferee Agreement)
during the immediately preceding year, and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such
new Interests within the Dedicated Area shall be subject to this Agreement
(including Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b)). Contemporaneously with any such
update and supplement to this Agreement, Producer shall execute, acknowledge,
and deliver to Processor a supplement to each of the applicable memoranda of
this Agreement previously filed for recording in the real property records of
each county in which any portion of such new Interests is located.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

(c)Forecasts. On or before August 1st of each Year during the Term, Processor
shall deliver to Producer a map showing each current Processor’s Facilities.
Subject to Processor’s delivery of such map and Processor’s compliance with the
confidentiality and restricted use requirements set forth in Section 19.1 on or
before October 1st of each Year during the Term, Producer shall deliver to
Processor a 2-Year Forecast with respect to the Producer’s Gas. “2-Year
Forecast” shall mean Producer’s good faith estimate (expressed in Mcf per Day)
and associated gas analysis of Producer’s Gas, to be produced from the Dedicated
Area, broken down by Processor’s Facilities, and delivered to the Delivery
Points for each Month for the next two (2) years of the Term of the Agreement,
which forecasts shall be based on Producer’s most recent engineering and
planning data. At Processor’s request, but no more than once per quarter,
Producer and Processor will meet to discuss changes in the forecast to ensure
that Processor will have adequate capacity in place to meet Producer’s
requirements. For the sake of clarity, Processor acknowledges that Producer
shall not at any time be required to deliver any of Producer’s internal budget
information to Processor. Producer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts
and information available to it to create the 2-Year Forecasts, but, given the
inherent nature of the estimates involved in creating such Forecasts, Producer
cannot guarantee the accuracy of any 2-Year Forecast.

(d)Producer’s Reservations.
(i)    Gas for Lessors or Royalty Owners. Producer shall have the right to
utilize Gas as may be required to be delivered to lessors or royalty owners
under the terms of leases or other agreements or as required for Producer’s
operations within the Dedicated Area or lands pooled or unitized therewith, as
determined by Producer in its sole discretion.

(ii)    Pooling or Units. Producer may form, dissolve, and/or participate in
pooling agreements or units encompassing all or any portions of the Dedicated
Area, as determined by Producer in its sole discretion.

(iii)    Operational Control of Wells. Producer reserves the right to operate
its leases and wells in any manner that it desires, as determined by Producer in
its sole discretion and free of any control by Processor, including without
limitation, (i) shutting-in, cleaning out, reworking, modifying, deepening, or
abandoning any such wells, (ii) using any efficient, modern, or improved method
for the production of its wells, (iii) flaring, burning, or venting Gas and (iv)

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

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

including, without limitation, for Gas lift, fuel, pressure maintenance, or
other re-injection purposes, secondary and tertiary recovery, drilling or
cycling, operation of Producer’s facilities, and/or any other legitimate use in
connection with the development and/or operation of its leases and wells that
are now or hereafter become subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Additionally, for Gas used for fuel, Producer has the right to remove and
dispose of liquid hydrocarbons from such Gas by means it deems necessary,
including via low temperature separation.

(v)    No Obligation to Develop. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement
that may be construed to the contrary, Producer reserves the right to develop
and operate its leases and wells as it sees fit, in its sole discretion, and
Producer shall have no obligation to Processor under this Agreement to develop
or otherwise produce Gas or other hydrocarbons from any properties owned by it,
including any properties now or hereafter located within the Dedicated Area or
the lands pooled or unitized therewith.
Section 2.2    Release from Dedication.
(a)Immediate Temporary Release. If for any reason including Force Majeure (but
not including a pressure problem which is addressed in Section 3.5), Processor
does not take all or any portion of Producer’s Gas delivered or otherwise
available for delivery at a Delivery Point, Producer shall be entitled to an
immediate temporary release from dedication of such volume of Producer’s Gas,
and may dispose of such Gas in any manner it sees fits, subject to Processor’s
right to resume receipts at a subsequent time when Processor is able to take all
of Producer’s Gas available for delivery at the Delivery Point in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, provided however if during such temporary
release period Producer secures a different temporary market, Processor may
resume receipts only upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice and only as
of the beginning of a Month, unless otherwise agreed.

(b)Permanent Release. In addition to Section 2.2(a), above, if Processor does
not take and process all or any portion of Producer’s Gas for delivery at a
Delivery Point for any reason (including a failure to meet quality requirements
for nitrogen, but not including (i) a failure to meet quality requirements other
than for nitrogen as set forth above, for which no permanent release shall be
available, or (ii) a pressure problem, which is addressed in Section 3.5) for a
cumulative thirty (30) Days in any ninety (90) Day period, unless such failure
is caused by Force Majeure, in which case a cumulative 180 Days in any 365-Day
period, then upon Producer’s written notice to Processor, Processor shall have
fifteen (15) Days from receipt of such notice to propose a feasible plan to
Producer that shall resolve such issue, at Processor’s sole cost and expense,
within sixty (60) Days after proposing such plan (the “Resolution Period”). If
(A) Processor fails to propose a resolution within the stated fifteen (15) Days,
(B) the issue is not resolved after completion of Processor’s resolution, or (C)
Processor does not complete such resolution within the Resolution Period (but if
Processor’s completion is delayed or prevented by reason of Force Majeure, the
Resolution Period shall be extended by an additional 120 Days), Producer may
elect within 30 days following Processor’s failure to propose a resolution, the
completion of such inadequate resolution or the expiration of such Resolution
Period, as applicable, by giving written notice to Processor, a permanent
release from dedication as to the affected Delivery Point and the portion(s) of
the Dedicated Area associated with such Delivery Point (and such released
portion(s) shall be stated in terms of acreage); provided, however, Producer
shall

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

not be entitled to the foregoing remedy to the extent that Producer’s good-faith
estimate of the affected volumes exceeds the last 2-Year Forecast Producer
delivered to Processor in accordance with Section 2.1(c). If Producer elects a
permanent release, the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released shall be
designated by Producer, acting reasonably and in good faith, provided that
Producer shall provide to Processor (subject to the confidentiality and non-use
restrictions set forth in this Agreement) reasonable evidence to support
Producer’s determination of the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released,
and as long as Producer’s determination of the areas to be released is
reasonably supported, such determination shall be deemed conclusive.
(c)Release by Upstream Gatherer. Delivery of Producer’s Gas to Processor
hereunder is dependent upon the performance of upstream gathering facilities to
which Producer has made a dedication similar to the dedication under this
Agreement. To the extent that Producer’s dedication under such upstream
contracts is released, Producer shall receive a corresponding release from
dedication under this Agreement.
Section 2.3    No Election of Remedies. Producer’s exercise of any right to a
release from dedication under Section 2.2 shall not be deemed as an election of
remedies for any unexcused failure of Processor to perform any obligation under
this Agreement, and Producer shall be entitled to any and all other remedies,
including specific performance and injunctive relief (without the need to post
any bond).

Section 2.4    Processing and Related Services. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, each Month during the Term Processor shall

processing or delivery of Gas at the Processor’s Facilities, the following
procedures shall be followed:
(a)    First, Gas deliveries from all customers other than Producer and
Similarly Situated Customers shall be curtailed prior to any curtailment or
interruption of Producer’s Gas or Gas from Similarly Situated Customers; and
(b)    Second, if additional curtailments are required beyond Section 2.7(a)
above, Processor shall notify Producer and the Similarly Situated Customers of
such curtailment and require good faith estimates of expected gas volumes from
Producer and Similarly Situated Customers. Processor shall then allocate the
Plant Capacity at the affected Delivery Point on a pro rata basis based upon
Producer’s and each Similarly Situated Customer’s respective good faith
estimates for the affected point.
Section 2.8    Third Party Gas. Processor agrees that it shall not accept Third
Party Gas into the Processor’s Facilities if such Third Party Gas shall cause
Producer’s Gas to not meet the Redelivery Point Gas Quality Specifications.

Processor shall have fifteen (15) Days from receipt of such notice to propose a
feasible plan that shall, at Processor’s sole cost and expense, resolve the
pressure issue within sixty (60) Days after proposing such plan (the “Resolution
Period”) so that the pressure shall be maintained in compliance with the
required pressure (including when all available Gas is delivered to the Delivery
Point(s), i.e., including all of Producer’s Gas that may have been temporarily
released). If (a) Processor fails to propose a resolution within the stated
fifteen (15) Days, (b) the issue is not resolved after completion of Processor’s
resolution, or (c) Processor does not complete its proposed resolution within
the Resolution Period for any reason (but if Processor’s completion is delayed
or prevented by reason of Force Majeure, the Resolution Period shall be extended
by an additional 120 Days), then Producer may elect, by giving written notice to
Processor, to either (i) a permanent release from dedication as to any affected
Delivery Point(s) and the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area associated with such
Delivery Point(s) (and such released portion(s) may be stated in terms of wells
and/or acreage) or (ii) until the pressure issue has been resolved, [***]
percent ([***]%) reduction in the then-existing applicable Fees for a volume of
Gas equal to Producer’s good-faith estimate of the volumes that would have been
delivered to the affected Delivery Points under this Agreement; provided,
however, Producer shall not be entitled to the remedies set forth in either
subsection (i) or subsection (ii) to the extent that (x) any Receipt Point(s)
upstream of the Delivery Point are in compliance with the Required Pressure (as
defined in the Gas Gathering Agreement between Producer and Alpine High
Gathering LP dated July 1, 2018) for such Receipt Point(s) or (y) Producer’s
good-faith estimate of volumes exceeds the last 2-Year Forecast Producer
delivered to Processor in accordance with Section 2.1(c). If Producer elects a
permanent release, the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released shall be
designated by Producer, acting reasonably and in good faith, provided that
Producer shall provide to Processor (subject to the confidentiality and non-use
restrictions set forth in this Agreement) reasonable evidence to support
Producer’s determination of the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released,
and as long as Producer’s determination of the areas to be released is
reasonably supported, such determination shall be deemed conclusive. Producer’s
right to a release from dedication or Fee reduction under this Section 3.5 shall
not be deemed an election of remedies, and Producer shall be entitled to any and
all other remedies, including specific performance and injunctive relief
(without the need to post any bond).

total quantity of Gas delivered shall be determined in accordance with the first
of the following methods which is feasible:
(a)by using the registration of any mutually agreeable check metering facility,
if installed and accurately registering (subject to testing as provided for in
Section 5.4);
(b)where multiple meter runs exist in series, by calculation using the
registration of such meter run equipment; provided that they are measuring Gas
from upstream and downstream headers in common with the faulty metering
equipment, are not controlled by separate regulators, and are accurately
registering; or
(c)by estimating the quantity, based upon deliveries made during periods of
similar conditions when the meter was registering accurately.
Section 5.7    Record Retention. Processor shall retain and preserve all test
data, charts, and similar records for any Calendar Year for a period of at least
sixty (60) Months, unless any applicable Law requires a longer time period or
Processor has received written notification of a dispute involving such records,
in which case all records shall be retained until the related issue is resolved.
Section 5.8    Correction Factors for Volume Measurement. The computations of
the volumes of Gas measured shall be made as follows:
(a)The hourly orifice coefficient for each meter shall be calculated at the base
pressure of fourteen and sixty-five hundredths (14.65) psia and the base
temperature of sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit. All Gas volume measurements shall
be based on a local atmospheric pressure assumed to be thirteen and seven-tenths
(13.7) psia.
(b)The flowing temperature of the Gas shall be continuously measured. In the
case of electronic metering, such temperature measurement shall be used as
continuous input to the flow computer for calculation of Gas volume, mass and/or
energy content in accordance with the applicable AGA or API 21.1 standards
including, but not limited to, AGA Report Nos. 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and any
subsequent modification and amendments thereof generally accepted within the Gas

or transport Gas, and, in those instances where a Party is required to secure
permits from any Governmental Authority to enable such Party to fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement, the inability of such Party, at reasonable
costs and after the exercise of all reasonable diligence, to acquire such
permits. It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes or lockouts
shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party having the difficulty and

shall be entitled to pursue any available remedies; provided, however, this
Section 17.1 shall not limit a Party’s right to initiate litigation prior to the
expiration of the time periods set forth in this Section 17.1 if application of
such limitations would prevent a Party from filing a Claim within the applicable
period for filing lawsuits (e.g. statutes of limitation, prescription, etc.) or
would otherwise prejudice or harm a Party.
Section 17.2    Jurisdiction and Venue.
(a)    Each Party agrees that the appropriate, exclusive and convenient forum

to confirm any nomination change requested by Producer after the nomination
deadline. Processor reserves the right, from time to time, to revise its
nomination procedures, subject to Producer’s consent which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
iii.Producer will make all necessary arrangements with pipelines or other third
parties downstream of the Plant Products Redelivery Points in order to
facilitate Processor’s delivery of Plant Products. No later than one (1)
Business Day prior to the nomination deadline each Month for the applicable
downstream pipeline(s) receiving Plant Products, Producer will notify Processor
of the estimated quantity of Plant Products per Day, provided that nominations
at each Redelivery Point are subject to confirmation by the downstream pipeline.
At any time, Producer may adjust its nomination prospectively for the remainder
of such Month by providing Processor notice prior to the nomination deadline of
the applicable downstream pipeline.
(d)Processor and Producer shall immediately inform each other of any discovered
unanticipated changes in deliveries at either the Delivery Point(s) or
Redelivery Point(s). Nominations may be made by telephone, but shall be
confirmed in writing by e-mail, facsimile, or other electronic means to
Processor’s Gas Control Department.
II.Balancing. Subject to the provisions of the Agreement, Processor shall accept
at the Delivery Point a Daily quantity of Producer’s Gas at the Delivery Points
and redeliver Producer’s Residue Gas and Producer’s Plant Products allocated to
such Producer’s Gas at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points and Plant Products
Redelivery Point, respectively. All quantities received in accordance with the
Agreement at the Delivery Points and all deliveries of Producer’s Residue Gas in
accordance with this Agreement at the Residue Gas Redelivery Point shall be
balanced on a Btu basis, and all such quantities referred to in the Agreement
shall be adjusted for the Gross Heating Value thereof. Processor shall provide
Producer reasonable flexibility in adjusting nominations provided however, that
providing Producer such flexibility in adjusting nominations shall be subject to
Processor not incurring financial harm or loss as a result of Producer’s
actions. Processor shall use its best efforts to enter into, and maintain in
good standing, operational balancing agreements with the downstream receiving
pipelines at each of the Residue Gas Redelivery Points and Plant Products
Redelivery Points. Processor shall not impose balancing guidelines on Producer
that are more stringent than those imposed on Processor under the operational
balancing agreements with the applicable downstream receiving pipeline. When
operational balancing agreements are effective between Processor and an
applicable downstream pipeline (and the applicable downstream pipeline keeps

Producer whole on its nominations each Month) and an imbalance is caused solely
by Producer and Processor incurs a cash out, penalty, or settlement due to said
imbalance, then Producer shall reimburse Processor for such cash out, penalty or
settlement incurred by Processor pursuant to the terms of the applicable
operational balancing agreement, to the extent such cash out, penalty, or
settlement is caused by Producer. Processor shall provide an invoice to Producer
for same, along with reasonable documentation evidencing same, and Producer
shall reimburse Processor for same in accordance with the payment terms set
forth in Article X of the Agreement.
III.Imbalances. Because of dispatching and other causes outside of Processor’s
reasonable control, imbalances may occur between the total heating value of the
Residue Gas delivered to downstream pipelines at the Residue Gas Redelivery
Points for Producer’s account and the allocated quantity of Residue Gas
attributable to Producer’s Gas. Similarly, imbalances may occur between the
allocated volumes of Producer’s Plant Products that are delivered to downstream
pipelines at the Plant Products Redelivery Points for Producer’s account and the
allocated Plant Products attributable to Producer’s Gas.
(a) Residue Gas Redelivery Point. For imbalance events at Residue Gas Redelivery
Points where Processor does not have an operational balancing agreement in
place, the Parties agree to settle imbalances through a monthly cash out. The
monthly cash out price shall be the simple average of (i) Inside F.E.R.C’s Gas
Market Report in its first publication of the delivery month for “Prices of Spot
Gas Delivered to Pipeline” for El Paso Permian and (ii) Inside F.E.R.C’s Gas
Market Report in its first publication of the delivery month for “Prices of Spot
Gas Delivered to Pipeline” for West Texas “Waha”.
(b) Plant Products Redelivery Points. For imbalance events at Plant Products
Redelivery Points where Processor does not have an operational balancing
agreement in place, the Parties agree to settle imbalances through a monthly
cash out. The monthly cash out price shall be based on Producer’s weighted
average sales price for that month.
IV.Curtailment. Processor shall use reasonable efforts to provide timely
notification to Producer by telephone, with subsequent e-mail notification, of
the potential size and duration of any unscheduled capacity disruption. If
Producer does not adjust its nomination within two hours after receiving
notification from Processor, then Processor may adjust Producer’s nomination
and/or not confirm the nominations requested by Producer in the next nomination
cycle. If Producer does not adjust its nomination as reasonably requested by
Processor, and such failure to adjust nominations could materially impact
operations at the Processor’s Facilities, Processor may curtail or shut in Gas
for a reasonable period of time.

ALLOCATION METHODOLGIES
(Central Processing Facility and Cryogenic Processing Facility)

1.Plant Products Allocable to Producer. The quantity of each Plant Product
component allocable to Producer’s Processable Gas that was delivered to the
Central Processing Facilities and the Cryogenic Processing Facilities shall be
determined by multiplying the total quantity of each Plant Product component
recovered at all Central Processing Facilities and Cryogenic Processing
Facilities (including any condensate recovered from Producer’s Gas) by a
fraction. The numerator shall be the theoretical gallons of that Plant Product
component contained in Producer’s Gas at the low pressure Receipt Point less any
buyback volumes redelivered to Producer upstream of the Delivery Point, measured
pursuant to Section 5.10, and the denominator shall be the total theoretical
gallons of that component contained in all Gas at all receipt points where Gas
was first gathered and delivered to Processor and processed at the Central
Processing Facilities and Cryogenic Processing Facilities.
2.Residue Gas Allocable to Producer. The MMBtus of Residue Gas allocable to
Producer’s Processable Gas that was delivered to the Central Processing
Facilities and the Cryogenic Processing Facilities shall be determined by
multiplying the total MMBtus of Residue Gas measured at all Central Processing
Facilities and Cryogenic Processing Facilities by a fraction; provided that in
the event that Producer’s proportionate share of actual FL&U at the Central
Processing Facilities and Cryos, as calculated pursuant to Exhibit C, FL&U
Paragraph 2, exceeds the Processable Gas FL&U Cap, the total MMBtus of Residue
Gas measured at all Central Processing Facilities and Cryogenic Processing
Facilities shall be increased by an amount sufficient to acknowledge the
Processable Gas FL&U Cap. The numerator of such fraction shall be Producer’s
Theoretical Residue Gas, as defined below, and the denominator shall be the
total theoretical MMBtus of Residue Gas contained in all Gas at all receipt
points where Gas was first gathered and delivered to Processor and processed at
all Central Processing Facilities and Cryogenic Processing Facilities.
Producer’s Theoretical Residue Gas shall be determined by the following
equation:
PTRG = A - S
where:

PTRG = Producer’s Theoretical Residue Gas in MMBtus

Exhibit F – Page 1

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

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

A = The aggregate volume of Producer’s Processable Gas measured at all low
pressure Receipt Points less buyback gas redelivered to Producer upstream of the
Delivery Point in MMBtu

S = Producer’s allocated share of Shrinkage as defined in Exhibit F, Paragraph 5

3.Central Processing Facilities Inlet Volume (“Producer’s CPF Volumes”). The
aggregate volume of Producer’s Processable Gas delivered to all Central
Processing Facility inlets shall be determined by the following equation:
CPFV = A – CI
where:
CPFV = Producer’s CPF Volumes
A = The aggregate volume of Producer’s Processable Gas measured at all low
pressure Receipt Points less buyback gas redelivered to Producer upstream of the
Delivery Point in Mcf
CI = Producer’s Cryo Volumes, as defined in Exhibit F, Paragraph 4

4.Cryogenic Processing Facilities Inlet Volume (“Producer’s Cryo Volumes”). The
aggregate volume in Mcf of Producer’s Gas delivered to all Cryo inlets shall be
determined by the following equation:

CI = ((CD+CC) /CE) x A
where:

CI = Producer’s Cryo Volumes

CD = The aggregate volume of Processable Gas in Mcf metered at all high pressure
Receipt Points entering the high pressure gathering pipeline

Exhibit F – Page 2

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

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

CC = The total compressor condensate volumes (converted to Mcf) metered at the
discharge of the compressor prior to entering the high pressure gathering
pipeline

CE = The aggregate volume of Processable Gas in Mcf metered at all low pressure
Receipt Points entering the low pressure gathering pipeline
A = The aggregate volume of Producer’s Processable Gas measured at all low
pressure Receipt Points less buyback gas redelivered to Producer upstream of the
Delivery Point in Mcf

5.Central Processing Facilities and Cryogenic Processing Facilities Shrinkage
(“Shrinkage”). Producer’s share of shrinkage at the Central Processing
Facilities and the Cryos will be determined by converting each individual
component of Producer’s Plant Products, extracted and allocated to Producer at
the aggregate of all the Central Processing Facilities and all the Cryos, to its
respective heating value (as measured in MMBtu) by using the conversion factors
published in the Gas Processor’s Association GPA Publication 2145-16, or any
subsequent revision thereof in effect at the time such calculation is performed,
and adjusted to a pressure base of 14.65 psia and a temperature of 60°
Fahrenheit.

6.Allocations of Plant Products and Residue Gas hereunder shall be based on the
aggregate recoveries within all Central Processing Facilities and Cryogenic
Processing Facilities and not based on each individual Central Processing
Facility or Cryogenic Processing Facility.

with the terms of this Agreement, provided however if during such temporary
release period Producer secures a different temporary market, Processor may
resume receipts only upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice and only as
of the beginning of a Month, unless otherwise agreed.

(b)Permanent Release. In addition to Section 2.2(a), above, if Processor does
not take and process all or any portion of Producer’s Gas for delivery at a
Delivery Point for any reason (including a failure to meet quality requirements
for nitrogen, but not including (i) a failure to meet quality requirements other
than for nitrogen as set forth above, for which no permanent release shall be
available, or (ii) a pressure problem, which is addressed in Section 3.5) for a
cumulative thirty (30) Days in any ninety (90) Day period, unless such failure
is caused by Force Majeure, in which case a cumulative 180 Days in any 365-Day
period, then upon Producer’s written notice to Processor, Processor shall have
fifteen (15) Days from receipt of such notice to propose a feasible plan to
Producer that shall resolve such issue, at Processor’s sole cost and expense,
within sixty (60) Days after proposing such plan (the “Resolution Period”). If
(A) Processor fails to propose a resolution within the stated fifteen (15) Days,
(B) the issue is not resolved after completion of Processor’s resolution, or (C)
Processor does not complete such resolution within the Resolution Period (but if
Processor’s completion is delayed or prevented by reason of Force Majeure, the
Resolution Period shall be extended by an additional 120 Days), Producer may
elect within 30 days following Processor’s failure to propose a resolution, the
completion of such inadequate resolution or the expiration of such Resolution
Period, as applicable, by giving written notice to Processor, to receive a
permanent release from dedication as to the affected Delivery Point and the
portion(s) of the Dedicated Area associated with such Delivery Point (and such
released portion(s) shall be stated in terms of acreage); provided, however,
Producer shall not be entitled to the foregoing remedy to the extent that
Producer’s good-faith estimate of the affected volumes exceeds the last 2-Year
Forecast Producer delivered to Processor in accordance with Section 2.1(c). If
Producer elects a permanent release, the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be
released shall be designated by Producer, acting reasonably and in good faith,
provided that Producer shall provide to Processor

(subject to the confidentiality and non-use restrictions set forth in this
Agreement) reasonable evidence to support Producer’s determination of the
portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released, and as long as Producer’s
determination of the areas to be released is reasonably supported, such
determination shall be deemed conclusive.

(c)Release by Upstream Gatherer. Delivery of Producer’s Gas to Processor
hereunder is dependent upon the performance of upstream gathering facilities to
which Producer has made a dedication similar to the dedication under this
Agreement. To the extent that Producer’s dedication under such upstream
contracts is released, Producer shall receive a corresponding release from
dedication under this Agreement.

Section 2.3    No Election of Remedies. Producer’s exercise of any right to a
release from dedication under Section 2.2 shall not be deemed as an election of
remedies for any unexcused failure of Processor to perform any obligation under
this Agreement, and Producer shall be entitled to any and all other remedies,
including specific performance and injunctive relief (without the need to post
any bond).

Section 2.4    Processing and Related Services. Subject to the terms and

Section 2.6    Modification of System Capacity. Other than during periods of
emergency and/or required Maintenance, Processor shall not take, without
Producer’s prior written consent, any action that could cause the Plant Capacity
to be reduced in a manner that negatively affects Producer’s ability to deliver
Gas to any Delivery Point.
Section 2.7    Priority of Gas Services; Curtailment. Processor covenants that
it shall not oversubscribe the Processing Facilities or take additional
production into the Processing Facilities if, as a result, Processor is unable
to perform its Service obligations under this Agreement. Processor agrees to not
provide services of any kind for any Third Party Gas on a basis that has a
priority higher than that to which Producer is entitled under this Agreement
without Producer’s prior written consent; provided, however, that in the case of
(ii), such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if the Third Party
agreement shall not be reasonably expected to impact Processor’s ability to
perform its obligations to Producer under this Agreement. If for any reason,
including, without limitation, Force Majeure, maintenance, or constraints at
Redelivery Point(s), Processor needs to curtail receipt, processing or delivery
of Gas at the Processor’s Facilities, the following procedures shall be
followed:
(a)    First, Gas deliveries from all customers other than Producer and
Similarly Situated Customers shall be curtailed prior to any curtailment or
interruption of Producer’s Gas or Gas from Similarly Situated Customers; and
(b)    Second, if additional curtailments are required beyond Section 2.7(a)
above, Processor shall notify Producer and the Similarly Situated Customers of
such curtailment and require good faith estimates of expected gas volumes from
Producer and Similarly Situated Customers. Processor shall then allocate the
Plant Capacity at the affected Delivery Point on a pro rata basis based upon
Producer’s and each Similarly Situated Customer’s respective good faith
estimates for the affected point.

Section 3.1    Delivery Points. The delivery points for all Producer’s Gas
delivered by Producer under this Agreement shall be the location where
Producer’s Gas enters the inlet flange of the Processor’s Facilities located at
the points identified on Exhibit B of this Agreement (each, a “Delivery Point,”
and together, the “Delivery Points”).
Section 3.2    Pressure at Delivery Points. Producer shall cause Producer’s Gas
to be delivered to the Delivery Points at a pressure sufficient to enter the
Processor’s facilities, provided that Processor maintains the operating
pressures at not more than (a) [***] psig at the inlet flange of the on-skid
compressor inlet suction scrubber of the Central Conditioning Facilities and (b)
[***] psig at the inlet flange of the on-skid compressor inlet suction scrubber
of the Central Processing Facilities and at all other Delivery Points other than
the inlet to the Cryogenic Processing Facilities. Producer shall not deliver Gas
at a pressure in excess of the MAOP at the Delivery Point, as such MAOP may
exist from time to time. As of the Effective Date, the MAOP at each Delivery
Point shall be listed on Exhibit B, and Processor shall give written notice to
Producer at any time thereafter that the MAOP for any Delivery Point changes and
for each additional Delivery Point when it is added.
Section 3.3    Pressure at Residue Gas Redelivery Points. If Producer elects to
take its Residue Gas in-kind, Processor shall redeliver Residue Gas at a
pressure sufficient to enter the receiving facilities at such Residue Gas
Redelivery Point, but shall not deliver such Gas at a pressure in excess of the
MAOP of such receiving facilities, as such MAOP may exist from time to time.
Section 3.4    Pressure at Plant Product Redelivery Points. If Producer elects
to take its Plant Products in-kind, Processor shall redeliver Plant Products at
a pressure sufficient to enter the receiving facilities at each Plant Product
Redelivery Point, but shall not deliver such Plant Products at a pressure in
excess of MAOP of such receiving facilities, as such MAOP may exist from time to
time.
Section 3.5    Release Rights. At any time that the operating pressure at a
Delivery Point is not in compliance with the required operating pressure or is
in excess of the MAOP for any reason, including Force Majeure, Producer shall be
entitled to an immediate temporary release from dedication and may immediately
dispose of and/or deliver to any third Person any of Producer’s Gas available
for delivery at such Delivery Point. In the event the operating pressure is not
in compliance with the required pressure for a cumulative thirty (30) Days in
any ninety (90) Day

period for reasons other than Force Majeure, then upon Producer’s written notice
to Processor, Processor shall have fifteen (15) Days from receipt of such notice
to propose a feasible plan that shall, at Processor’s sole cost and expense,
resolve the pressure issue within sixty (60) Days after proposing such plan (the
“Resolution Period”) so that the pressure shall be maintained in compliance with
the required pressure (including when all available Gas is delivered to the
Delivery Point(s), i.e., including all of Producer’s Gas that may have been
temporarily released). If (a) Processor fails to propose a resolution within the
stated fifteen (15) Days, (b) the issue is not resolved after completion of
Processor’s resolution, or (c) Processor does not complete its proposed
resolution within the Resolution Period for any reason (but if Processor’s
completion is delayed or prevented by reason of Force Majeure, the Resolution
Period shall be extended by an additional 120 Days), then Producer may elect, by
giving written notice to Processor, to receive a permanent release from
dedication as to any affected Delivery Point(s) and the portion(s) of the
Dedicated Area associated with such Delivery Point(s) (and such released
portion(s) may be stated in terms of wells and/or acreage); provided, however,
Producer shall not be entitled to a permanent release to the extent that (x) any
Receipt Point(s) upstream of the Delivery Point are in compliance with the
Required Pressure (as defined in the Gas Gathering Agreement between Producer
and Alpine High Gathering LP dated July 1, 2018) for such Receipt Point(s) or
(y) Producer’s good-faith estimate of volumes exceeds the last 2-Year Forecast
Producer delivered to Processor in accordance with Section 2.1(c). If Producer
elects a permanent release, the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released
shall be designated by Producer, acting reasonably and in good faith, provided
that Producer shall provide to Processor (subject to the confidentiality and
non-use restrictions set forth in this Agreement) reasonable evidence to support
Producer’s determination of the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released,
and as long as Producer’s determination of the areas to be released is
reasonably supported, such determination shall be deemed conclusive. Producer’s
right to a release from dedication or Fee reduction under this Section 3.5 shall
not be deemed an election of remedies, and Producer shall be entitled to any and
all other remedies, including specific performance and injunctive relief
(without the need to post any bond).

with respect to the work. Nothing in this Agreement or inferred from any action
of either Party shall be taken to establish the relationship of master and
servant or principal and agent between Producer and Processor.
Section 19.3    Rights; Waivers. The failure of either Party to exercise any
right granted hereunder shall not impair nor be deemed a waiver of that Party’s
privilege of exercising that right at any subsequent time or times. No waiver by

constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor
shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly provided.

Day after notice was given, then each Party shall, by the end of the fifteenth
(15th) Business Day after the notice was given, prepare a list of three
alternative published and industry recognized indices or rates to replace the

each of the lists shall be the alternative index or rate. If there is more than
one common item on both lists, the one appearing first on both lists, giving
priority to the list first submitted by one Party to the other, shall be the
alternative index or rate. If no common item appears on the lists, each Party
may strike in turn, one item from the other Party’s list until only one item

to determine the alternative index or rate.

TAKE IN-KIND TERMS

For any Calendar Year during which Producer elects under Section 2.5 of the
Agreement to take its Residue Gas and/or Plant Products in-kind, the following
terms shall apply:
I. Nominations. Processor and Producer agree that scheduling and commencement of
service shall be consistent with the downstream receiving pipeline or
transporter nomination requirements. Whenever Producer’s Residue Gas is to be
scheduled or nominated hereunder, each Party shall provide to the other Party
all information required for such nominations and confirmations with upstream
and downstream pipelines or transporters. Producer may but shall not be required
to provide Processor with Plant Product nominations.
(a)Delivery Point Nominations. Producer shall not be required to provide
Processor with nominations of the Producer’s Gas at the Delivery Point(s),
however, Producer shall provide volume forecast information pursuant to Section
2.1(b) of the Agreement, for Processor’s general capacity planning purposes by
Delivery Point.
(b)Operational Information. Processor shall use reasonable efforts to provide
daily information related to Delivery Point volume, Plant Product composition,
and historical volume information in order to assist with Producer’s nominations
below. Processor shall use reasonable efforts to make nomination changes as
necessary, based on the information provided by Producer, at the Redelivery
Points to minimize imbalances.
(c)Redelivery Point Nominations.
i.Producer shall make all necessary arrangements with pipelines or other third
parties downstream of the Residue Gas Redelivery Points in order to help manage
Processor’s delivery of Producer’s Residue Gas. Those arrangements must be
coordinated with Processor, and Processor shall coordinate such arrangements
with Producer and such downstream pipelines or other third parties.
ii.Residue Gas. No later than 12:00 PM on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to
the beginning of each Month, but no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the
nomination deadline each Month for the applicable downstream pipeline(s)
receiving Residue Gas at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points, Processor shall
notify Producer of the estimated quantity of Producer’s Residue Gas per Day for
each Residue Gas Redelivery Point, provided that nominations at the Residue Gas

Exhibit E – Page 1

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

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Redelivery Points are subject to confirmation by the downstream pipeline. By
7:00 AM on the day prior to gas flow, Processor shall notify Producer of the
estimated quantity of Producer’s Residue Gas available for next day’s flow for
each Residue Gas Redelivery Point. By 10:30 AM on the day prior to gas flow,
Producer shall provide a nomination form to Processor, indicating downstream
pipeline contract number, downstream delivery point and counterparty. If
Producer does not provide a nomination form to Processor, the prior nomination
shall remain in effect until such time as when Producer provides notice to
Processor to revise the prior nomination. Processor will use reasonable efforts
to confirm any nomination change requested by Producer after the nomination
deadline. Processor reserves the right, from time to time, to revise its
nomination procedures, subject to Producer’s consent which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
iii.Producer will make all necessary arrangements with pipelines or other third
parties downstream of the Plant Products Redelivery Points in order to
facilitate Processor’s delivery of Plant Products. No later than one (1)
Business Day prior to the nomination deadline each Month for the applicable
downstream pipeline(s) receiving Plant Products, Producer will notify Processor
of the estimated quantity of Plant Products per Day, provided that nominations
at each Redelivery Point are subject to confirmation by the downstream pipeline.
At any time, Producer may adjust its nomination prospectively for the remainder
of such Month by providing Processor notice prior to the nomination deadline of
the applicable downstream pipeline.
(d)Processor and Producer shall immediately inform each other of any discovered
unanticipated changes in deliveries at either the Delivery Point(s) or
Redelivery Point(s). Nominations may be made by telephone, but shall be
confirmed in writing by e-mail, facsimile, or other electronic means to
Processor’s Gas Control Department.
II.Balancing. Subject to the provisions of the Agreement, Processor shall accept
at the Delivery Point a Daily quantity of Producer’s Gas at the Delivery Points
and redeliver Producer’s Residue Gas and Producer’s Plant Products allocated to
such Producer’s Gas at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points and Plant Products
Redelivery Point, respectively. All quantities received in accordance with the
Agreement at the Delivery Points and all deliveries of Producer’s Residue Gas in
accordance with this Agreement at the Residue Gas Redelivery Point shall be
balanced on a Btu basis, and all such quantities referred to in the Agreement
shall be adjusted for the Gross Heating Value thereof. Processor shall provide
Producer reasonable flexibility in adjusting nominations provided however, that
providing Producer such flexibility in adjusting nominations shall be subject to
Processor not incurring financial harm or loss as a result of Producer’s
actions. Processor shall use its best efforts to enter into, and maintain in
good standing, operational balancing agreements with the downstream receiving
pipelines at each of the Residue Gas Redelivery Points and Plant Products
Redelivery Points. Processor shall not impose balancing guidelines on Producer
that are more stringent than those imposed on Processor under the operational
balancing agreements with the applicable downstream receiving pipeline. When
operational balancing agreements are effective between Processor and an
applicable downstream pipeline (and the applicable downstream pipeline keeps

Producer whole on its nominations each Month) and an imbalance is caused solely
by Producer and Processor incurs a cash out, penalty, or settlement due to said
imbalance, then Producer shall reimburse Processor for such cash out, penalty or
settlement incurred by Processor pursuant to the terms of the applicable
operational balancing agreement, to the extent such cash out, penalty, or
settlement is caused by Producer. Processor shall provide an invoice to Producer
for same, along with reasonable documentation evidencing same, and Producer
shall reimburse Processor for same in accordance with the payment terms set
forth in Article X of the Agreement.
III.Imbalances. Because of dispatching and other causes outside of Processor’s
reasonable control, imbalances may occur between the total heating value of the
Residue Gas delivered to downstream pipelines at the Residue Gas Redelivery
Points for Producer’s account and the allocated quantity of Residue Gas
attributable to Producer’s Gas. Similarly, imbalances may occur between the
allocated volumes of Producer’s Plant Products that are delivered to downstream
pipelines at the Plant Products Redelivery Points for Producer’s account and the
allocated Plant Products attributable to Producer’s Gas.
(a) Residue Gas Redelivery Point. For imbalance events at Residue Gas Redelivery
Points where Processor does not have an operational balancing agreement in
place, the Parties agree to settle imbalances through a monthly cash out. The
monthly cash out price shall be the simple average of (i) Inside F.E.R.C’s Gas
Market Report in its first publication of the delivery month for “Prices of Spot
Gas Delivered to Pipeline” for El Paso Permian and (ii) Inside F.E.R.C’s Gas
Market Report in its first publication of the delivery month for “Prices of Spot
Gas Delivered to Pipeline” for West Texas “Waha”.
(b) Plant Products Redelivery Points. For imbalance events at Plant Products
Redelivery Points where Processor does not have an operational balancing
agreement in place, the Parties agree to settle imbalances through a monthly
cash out. The monthly cash out price shall be based on Producer’s weighted
average sales price for that month.
IV.Curtailment. Processor shall use reasonable efforts to provide timely
notification to Producer by telephone, with subsequent e-mail notification, of
the potential size and duration of any unscheduled capacity disruption. If
Producer does not adjust its nomination within two hours after receiving
notification from Processor, then Processor may adjust Producer’s nomination
and/or not confirm the nominations requested by Producer in the next nomination
cycle. If Producer does not adjust its nomination as reasonably requested by
Processor, and such failure to adjust nominations could materially impact
operations at the Processor’s Facilities, Processor may curtail or shut in Gas
for a reasonable period of time.

ALLOCATION METHODOLGIES
(Central Processing Facility and Cryogenic Processing Facility)

1.Plant Products Allocable to Producer. The quantity of each Plant Product
component allocable to Producer’s Processable Gas that was delivered to the
Central Processing Facilities and the Cryogenic Processing Facilities shall be
determined by multiplying the total quantity of each Plant Product component
recovered at all Central Processing Facilities and Cryogenic Processing
Facilities (including any condensate recovered from Producer’s Gas) by a
fraction. The numerator shall be the theoretical gallons of that Plant Product
component contained in Producer’s Gas at the low pressure Receipt Point less any
buyback volumes redelivered to Producer upstream of the Delivery Point, measured
pursuant to Section 5.10, and the denominator shall be the total theoretical
gallons of that component contained in all Gas at all receipt points where Gas
was first gathered and delivered to Processor and processed at the Central
Processing Facilities and Cryogenic Processing Facilities.
2.Residue Gas Allocable to Producer. The MMBtus of Residue Gas allocable to
Producer’s Processable Gas that was delivered to the Central Processing
Facilities and the Cryogenic Processing Facilities shall be determined by
multiplying the total MMBtus of Residue Gas measured at all Central Processing
Facilities and Cryogenic Processing Facilities by a fraction; provided that in
the event that Producer’s proportionate share of actual FL&U at the Central
Processing Facilities and Cryos, as calculated pursuant to Exhibit C, FL&U
Paragraph 2, exceeds the Processable Gas FL&U Cap, the total MMBtus of Residue
Gas measured at all Central Processing Facilities and Cryogenic Processing
Facilities shall be increased by an amount sufficient to acknowledge the
Processable Gas FL&U Cap. The numerator of such fraction shall be Producer’s
Theoretical Residue Gas, as defined below, and the denominator shall be the
total theoretical MMBtus of Residue Gas contained in all Gas at all receipt
points where Gas was first gathered and delivered to Processor and processed at
all Central Processing Facilities and Cryogenic Processing Facilities.
Producer’s Theoretical Residue Gas shall be determined by the following
equation:
PTRG = A - S
where:

PTRG = Producer’s Theoretical Residue Gas in MMBtus

Exhibit F – Page 1

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

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

A = The aggregate volume of Producer’s Processable Gas measured at all low
pressure Receipt Points less buyback gas redelivered to Producer upstream of the
Delivery Point in MMBtu

S = Producer’s allocated share of Shrinkage as defined in Exhibit F, Paragraph 5

3.Central Processing Facilities Inlet Volume (“Producer’s CPF Volumes”). The
aggregate volume of Producer’s Processable Gas delivered to all Central
Processing Facility inlets shall be determined by the following equation:
CPFV = A – CI
where:
CPFV = Producer’s CPF Volumes
A = The aggregate volume of Producer’s Processable Gas measured at all low
pressure Receipt Points less buyback gas redelivered to Producer upstream of the
Delivery Point in Mcf
CI = Producer’s Cryo Volumes, as defined in Exhibit F, Paragraph 4

4.Cryogenic Processing Facilities Inlet Volume (“Producer’s Cryo Volumes”). The
aggregate volume in Mcf of Producer’s Gas delivered to all Cryo inlets shall be
determined by the following equation:

CI = ((CD+CC) /CE) x A
where:

CI = Producer’s Cryo Volumes

CD = The aggregate volume of Processable Gas in Mcf metered at all high pressure
Receipt Points entering the high pressure gathering pipeline

Exhibit F – Page 2

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

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

CC = The total compressor condensate volumes (converted to Mcf) metered at the
discharge of the compressor prior to entering the high pressure gathering
pipeline

CE = The aggregate volume of Processable Gas in Mcf metered at all low pressure
Receipt Points entering the low pressure gathering pipeline
A = The aggregate volume of Producer’s Processable Gas measured at all low
pressure Receipt Points less buyback gas redelivered to Producer upstream of the
Delivery Point in Mcf

5.Central Processing Facilities and Cryogenic Processing Facilities Shrinkage
(“Shrinkage”). Producer’s share of shrinkage at the Central Processing
Facilities and the Cryos will be determined by converting each individual
component of Producer’s Plant Products, extracted and allocated to Producer at
the aggregate of all the Central Processing Facilities and all the Cryos, to its
respective heating value (as measured in MMBtu) by using the conversion factors
published in the Gas Processor’s Association GPA Publication 2145-16, or any
subsequent revision thereof in effect at the time such calculation is performed,
and adjusted to a pressure base of 14.65 psia and a temperature of 60°
Fahrenheit.

6.Allocations of Plant Products and Residue Gas hereunder shall be based on the
aggregate recoveries within all Central Processing Facilities and Cryogenic
Processing Facilities and not based on each individual Central Processing
Facility or Cryogenic Processing Facility.
