ARTICLE 11.

FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION

2.1 Construction and Operation of
Pipeline. Charis shall obtain all necessary permits, rights of way and other approvals as may be required to construct operate and maintain the Pipeline. Upon receipt of such permits, rights of way and other approvals, Charis, at its sole cost
risk and expense, except as otherwise provided herein, shall install, own, operate and maintain a twelve-inch (12) or greater main pipeline from the Disposal Wells to El Pasos Holly CP and an eight-inch (8) or greater
main pipeline from the El Paso Holly CP to the Westernmost EXCO delivery point as further described in Exhibit B attached hereto and made part hereof, and the related equipment, including measurement equipment (collectively, the
Pipeline) necessary to receive and measure Water from EXCOs Holly and Kingston Fields located in DeSoto Parish, Louisiana. The Pipeline will connect to each of the Delivery Points described on Exhibit A, and Charis will install the
measurement equipment at each Custody Transfer Point. EXCO will provide, at no cost to Charis, a site of sufficient size, at or near each Delivery Point for Charis measurement equipment.

2.2 Pressure. Charis shall construct, maintain and operate the Pipeline at the following pressure specifications:

a. Normal operating pressures of the Pipeline shall be 175 psig or less.

b. Maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) will be no greater than 200 psig.

EXCO agrees to install pumps at the delivery points sufficient to transport the water from the collection point to greer. If the average
pressure at any Delivery Point exceeds the MAOP for ten consecutive (10) days during any calendar month, then each fee per barrel for all Delivery Points in Section 5.1 below shall be reduced by ********* ($.**) during such month.
Nevertheless, for the purpose of determining if EXCO has met its financial commitment in Section 3.2, the full fee (without any deduction) will be used in calculating the total fees EXCO had paid for such deliveries.

way purchased with EXCO funds. All such right of way assigned to EXCO shall be credited against the cash payment otherwise owed hereby to EXCO in an amount equal to the cash payment from Escrow made upon purchase of said right of way by Charis (for
example only, if on November 1, 2008 Charis delivered written evidence of the purchase of right of way tract A in the amount of $**,*** upon which disbursement of $**,*** from Escrow was made thereafter, upon termination pursuant to this
Section 2.3, Charis may elect to assign to EXCO right of way tract A and credit $**,*** against the monies otherwise owed in cash pursuant to a termination under this Section 2.3).

2.4 Easements. To the extent allowed under EXCOs lease agreements, EXCO shall partially assign easements and rights of way to Charis to assist in constructing of the
Pipeline provided Charis indemnify EXCO from any and all claims or damages that arise from Charis operations on the granted rights.

d. This Section 3.1 constitutes Charis agreement and covenant to accept
delivery of at least the Firm Quantity of Water from EXCO and such additional quantities of EXCO Water as provided in Section 3.1 during the Primary Term and any extension thereof, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
(including Sections 3.3 and 4.6) permitting Charis to temporarily suspend acceptance of Water. Charis covenants to promptly remedy any situation requiring a temporary suspension of acceptance of EXCO Water that meets the Water quality and pressure
requirements set forth in this Agreement.

3.2 Minimum Fees. In addition, EXCO agrees to guarantee that, during the
Primary Term, the total amount of fees for Water delivered by EXCO to Charis under this Agreement, carried forward from prior Contract Years will not be less than the following amounts (the Minimum Fees):



|                      |  |              |              
|--------------------- |  | ------------ | -------------
|Contract Year         |  | Minimum Fees
|Year One              |  | $            | *,***,***.00 
|Year Two              |  | $            | *,***,***.00 
|Year Three            |  | $            | *,***,***.00 
|Year Four             |  | $            | *,***,***.00 
|Year Five             |  | $            | *,***,***.00 
|Year Six              |  | $            | *,***,***.00 
|Year Seven            |  | $            | *,***,***.00 
|                      |  |              |              
|Total EXCO Obligation |  | $            | 35,659,183.37

For the purpose of this Section 3.2, if, for any Contract Year, the fees for
Water delivered to Charis during such Contract Year is more than the Minimum Fees for that Contract Year, then such excess shall be carried forward to the next Contract Year and shall be included in the calculation of the total fees for Water
delivered to Charis for that subsequent Calendar Year. If, for any Contract Year, the total of the fees for Water delivered to Charis during such Contract Year is less than the Minimum Fees for such Contract Year, then EXCO shall pay to Charis an
amount equal to such shortfall. Such payments are due within 30 days of EXCOs receiving an invoice from Charis for such shortfall.

3.3 Failure to Accept Water. If, on any day after the In Service Date, Charis is unable for any reason to accept EXCOs Water at any Delivery Point(s), then, for the purpose of determining if
EXCO has met its financial commitment in Section 3.2, such undelivered and unaccepted Water up to **,000 barrels per day shall be counted as if such Water had been delivered by EXCO and accepted by Charis and EXCO had paid the fees for such
delivery. The amount of Water that was not accepted shall be deemed to be equal to the difference between (i) the amount of Water actually accepted, if any, and (ii) **,000 barrels. In addition, during the pendency of any such Pipeline
outage EXCO will pay a disposal fee of $.** per barrel for any such Water transported by EXCO through alternative means for disposal at the Greer disposal wells to which the Pipeline normally delivers water.

3.4 Commencement of Minimum Obligations. In order to simplify the accounting under this Agreement, the Parties have agreed to start the
Primary Term on the first day of the month. following the In Service Date. During the time period before the commencement of the Primary

Term, EXCO may deliver Water to Charis, but EXCO shall have no obligation to deliver or to pay any Minimum Fees in regards to any such Water prior to the commencement of the Primary Term.
Nevertheless, the fees paid by EXCO for such Water shall be included in the calculation of the total fees paid for Water delivered in the first Contract Year for purposes of determining whether the Minimum Fees for the first Contract Year have been
paid.

3.5 No Minimum Obligations after Primary Term. After the Primary Term, during any Renewal Term, there shall be no
minimum fees.

ARTICLE IV.

FACILITIES & MEASUREMENT

Other than the Pipeline and related
measurement equipment, Charis and EXCO recognize that Charis has facilities and equipment currently in place (or access to such), necessary to provide the disposal service contemplated hereunder. Charis shall install, own, operate and maintain, or
cause the same to be done, at the Delivery Point(s) the meters, instruments, and equipment necessary to accept delivery of the Water under this Agreement. Installation and operation of additional check meters, and other related measurement equipment
instruments shall be at EXCOs sole option, and such meters and equipment shall be operated by, and the responsibility of, EXCO.

4.1 Meters. The meters to be installed at each Delivery Point shall be Camerons Nu Flo Industrial-grade liquid turbine meters or equivalent meters manufactured by other manufacturers, sized to operate near the mid-point of
their linear operating range. Specific meter sizes for each Delivery Point shall be determined based upon the specific pumps that EXCO installs at or near the relevant Delivery Point, to be determined at least 60 days prior to first delivery at such
Delivery Point.

4.2 Installation and Operations. Each Party shall have access at all reasonable times to the premises
of the other insofar as such premises are connected with any matter or thing covered hereby for inspections, installation, maintenance, removal, repair and testing of their own equipment. Each Party may only operate and test its own meters.

4.3 Testing and Repair of Equipment at Billing Meter and Custody Transfer Points. The accuracy of Charis
measuring equipment shall be verified by Charis at reasonable intervals and, if requested, in the presence of EXCOs representatives; provided, however Charis shall not be required to verify the accuracy of such equipment at its cost and
expense more frequently than once in any three (3) month period. Testing will be done by comparing Charis meter data to EXCOs check meter data over a continuous 24-hour period, as well Charis meter data to EXCOs
theoretical pump volume over a one-hour period of continuous pumping. In the event either Charis or EXCO notifies the other Party that it desires a special test of any measuring equipment, Charis and EXCO shall cooperate to secure a prompt
verification of the accuracy of such equipment. In the event that a special test is requested; and after such test, the equipment is determined to register no greater than two percent (2%) difference from EXCOs check meter or 5% from
EXCOs theoretical pump volumes, either high or low, the requesting Party shall pay all costs for said test.

200.83 AND 240.24b-2



4.4 Correction of Metering Equipment. Any meter found, by test, to register not
more than two percent (2%) high or low shall be deemed to be correct as to past measurements but shall be corrected to record accurately. In the event any meter, by test, proves to be more than two percent (2%) high or low, adjustment
shall be made to fully correct the readings of such meters; provided, however, that if the period in which the error occurred is not known or cannot be agreed upon, then the period shall be deemed to be the last half of the time elapsed since the
last test, or forty-five (45) days, whichever is the lesser period. If the meter is out of repair or is being tested or in the event that Charis meter otherwise become inoperative, then the quantity of Water delivered during the period
Charis meter or meters were inoperative or manifestly in error shall be determined using EXCOs check meter, or if that meter is also in error by two percent (2%) or more or out of service, by estimating as nearly as possible the
quantity of Water delivered to the Billing Meter Point during like periods under similar conditions when such meter was registering accurately or correctly within the tolerance set forth herein. Corrective action will consist of internal inspection
to ensure integrity of the meter body, and replacing the internals with a new turbine kit, plus re-calibration of the display/recording equipment to reflect the new kits meter factor. The meter will be tagged with the new factor.

4.5 Inspection of Charts and Records. The charts and records from the measuring equipment shall remain the property of the Party
operating the measuring equipment and shall be kept for a period of two (2) years. At any time within such period, upon written request of the Party not in possession, the Party in possession shall submit records and charts from the measuring
equipment, together with calculations there from, for inspection and verification subject to return within twenty (20) days from receipt thereof.

4.6 Water Quality. EXCO shall make reasonable efforts to remove oil and other liquid contaminants from the Water by using normal field separation methods prior to pumping it into Charis
system but shall not be required to remove one hundred percent of such contaminants. EXCO shall also install filtering equipment (with 100 micron or smaller particle removal capability) between its pump and check meter (upstream of Chariss
meter) at each Delivery Point. EXCO shall install industry standard equipment at each Delivery Point to safe guard against over pressuring the Pipeline. Charis shall not accept Water from third parties that will negatively affect the capacity of the
Pipeline or which would prevent Charis from accepting all of EXCOs Water up to the Firm Quantity. Any such constraints will be deemed to be a failure to accept EXCOs Water under Section 3.3 of this Agreement, if such acceptance of
third party water precludes Charis from accepting EXCOs water in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement.

the indemnifying party. If an indemnified party shall settle any such action, suit or proceeding without the written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), the right of the indemnified party to make any claim against the indemnifying ,party on account of such settlement shall be deemed conclusively denied. An indemnified party shall have the right to be represented by its own
counsel at its own expense in any such action, suit or proceeding, and if an indemnified party is named as the defendant in any action, suit or proceeding, it shall be entitled to have its own counsel and defend such action, suit or proceeding with
respect to itself at its own expense. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article 8 neither party shall, without the other partys written consent, settle, compromise, confess judgment or permit judgment by default in any action, suit
or proceeding if such action would create or attach liability or obligation to the other party. The parties agree to make available to each other, and to their respective counsel and accountants, all information and documents reasonably available to
them which relate to any action, suit or proceeding, and the parties agree to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such action, suit or
proceeding.
