upsets and periods of increased flow (such as during Flowback), the Parties have agreed under Section 2.3(b) that, during Pipeline Unavailability, Producer shall elect to either

Colorado River Produced Water Agreement 

CRWR01-PW 









 
(i) exercise the Trucking Election or (ii) cease producing Dedicated Production until the end of the Pipeline Unavailability, as provided in Section 18.2. To the extent
Producer exercises its Trucking Election, this Article 18 shall govern with respect to the Trucked Volumes and the other matters set forth herein, rather than Articles 4, 7 (other than Section 7.3 as it applies to
Trucked Volumes delivered to a SWD Trucking Facility that fail to meet the quality requirements of Section 18.3(d)) and 9 and Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, and 5.6. 

(b) The Parties agree that during Pipeline Unavailability, Producer shall not have the right to temporary services under
Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(b) of the Agreement or to a temporary release under Section 2.4(b)(ii) of the Agreement except to the extent that Midstream Co fails to provide Trucked Water Services. 

(c) At Producer’s election, if the Pipeline Unavailability arises from Midstream Co’s failure to meet an On-Line
Deadline, Producer may exercise its Trucking Election for so long as it desires, rather than exercising its right to a permanent release under Section 2.4(a)(i) and Section 2.4(a)(ii). If the Parties have agreed to connect
the applicable Individual System to a Well or Separator Facility after Flowback has started, then the fact of a Pipeline Unavailability occurring after Flowback has started shall not constitute a failure by Midstream Co to meet an On-Line Deadline
and Producer shall not have a right to a permanent release under Section 2.4(a)(i) and Section 2.4(a)(ii) until such time as the agreed upon connection date has passed. 

Section 18.2 Exercise of Trucking Election. 

(a) In the event that Pipeline Unavailability will result from a Well completion prior to the connection of the Individual
System, Producer shall give Midstream Co notice that Dedicated Production is expected to be produced from the applicable Well at least 72 hours prior to such production. If Pipeline Unavailability arises after the applicable Well or Separator
Facility is online, Midstream Co shall deliver notice to Producer of planned and unplanned curtailments and interruptions as required in Section 5.5. 

(b) Once Producer or Midstream Co, as applicable, has delivered notice to the other Party that a Pipeline Unavailability is
expected (or has occurred), Producer will inform Midstream Co whether Producer elects to exercise its Trucking Election or to cease producing Dedicated Production until the end of the Pipeline Unavailability. If Producer exercises the Trucking
Election during the Flowback Period, Producer shall coordinate with the water hauling trucks and arrange for transportation of the Dedicated Production to the SWD Trucking Facility at its sole cost and expense until the end of the Flowback Period.
At all other times during a Pipeline Unavailability, including when Flowback is occurring after the expiration of the Flowback Period, Midstream Co shall coordinate with the water hauling trucks and arrange for transportation of the Dedicated
Production to the SWD Trucking Facility as part of the Trucked Water Services unless Producer has elected to cease producing Dedicated Production.

 Section 18.3 Delivery of and Title to Trucked Volumes. 

(a) Trucked Water Services Obligation. Upon the exercise of a Trucking Election, Midstream Co shall cause an Approved
SWD Vendor to accept delivery of, take title to, store, handle and dispose of Dedicated Production that is delivered by truck to a SWD Trucking Facility. Upon the exercise of a Trucking Election, Midstream Co may, in its sole discretion, also accept
delivery of, take title to, store, handle and dispose of other Product delivered by truck to a SWD Trucking Facility. The volumes that are actually delivered by truck shall be referred to as “Trucked Volumes”. 

(b) Consistent Volumes. The Trucked Volumes delivered to the applicable SWD Trucking Facility shall be at a rate of
delivery that is as uniform as reasonably possible in accordance with Producer’s drilling, completion, and frac schedule. 

(c) Title and Custody. Title to and risk of loss to the Trucked Volumes and all contents thereof shall pass from
Producer to Approved SWD Vendor when delivered into Approved SWD Vendor’s storage tanks at the SWD Trucking Facility, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing. 

(d) Quality. Producer represents and warrants that all Trucked Volumes delivered to an Approved SWD Vendor may lawfully
be disposed of in Class II disposal wells. Midstream Co’s performance of Trucked Water Services for any Trucked Volumes that do not meet such requirement shall not relieve Producer from any liability for Producer’s breach of the foregoing
representation and warranty nor serve as a waiver of any rights or remedies available to Midstream Co therefor. 
 (e)
Prohibition on Skimming. The Party that coordinates the water hauling trucks shall direct the Transporter not to skim, transfer, sell, or otherwise remove hydrocarbons or Trucked Volumes from trucks after receipt by such Transporter and prior
to such Trucked Volumes being received by the Approved SWD Vendor. If the Approved SWD Vendor alleges that the Trucked Volumes delivered appear to have been handled in a manner inconsistent with the foregoing sentence, Producer shall corporate with
Midstream Co and the Approved SWD Vendor in a review and analysis and, if required by the Approved SWD Vendor, take corrective action in a timely manner. If Transporters engaged by Producer fail to comply with the directions received, then Midstream
Co may direct Producer to use a different Transporter.

 Section 18.4 Unavailability of a SWD Trucking Facility. If for any
reason there is a disruption of receipts at the SWD Trucking Facility, the Parties shall work in good faith to find a mutually agreeable resolution. If for any reason Midstream Co receives reimbursements in respect of trucking as a result of an
originally scheduled SWD Trucking Facility being unable to accept deliveries, Midstream Co shall disclose such reimbursements on the applicable invoice and pass through such reimbursements to Producer if Producer paid the costs of the applicable
Transporter directly. 
 Section 18.5 Testing; Non-Conforming Product. If requested by Midstream Co, Producer
shall obtain water samples for analyses and retain appropriate qualified personnel to conduct analyses following methodologies considered appropriate in the industry or shall permit Midstream Co to obtain such samples. 

Section 18.6 Producer’s Grant of Access. Producer hereby grants to Midstream Co, and shall grant to each
Transporter, without warranty of title, either express or implied, to the extent that it may lawfully and is contractually permitted to do so without the incurrence of additional expense, the rights of ingress and egress with respect to, and the
right to access, all lands constituting Dedicated Properties for the purposes of (a) transporting Trucked Volumes, and (b) obtaining water samples as described in Section 18.5. 

Section 18.7 Information. Producer agrees that information it supplies to Midstream Co regarding anticipated
volumes of Dedicated Production and Trucked Volumes may be shared with an Approved SWD Vendor to the extent required by the applicable Approved SWD Vendor to assist in planning and operations, and Producer agrees to provide additional information
regarding anticipated volumes of Dedicated Production and Trucked Volumes to the extent requested by Midstream Co in response to inquiries from an Approved SWD Vendor (so long as Midstream Co is required to deliver the requested information in order
to comply with Midstream Co’s contractual arrangements with such Approved SWD Vendor). Under Section 3.1, Midstream Co has the right to hold certain meetings with Producer, and at the request of Midstream Co, one of such meetings
per year may be held in conjunction with the Approved SWD Vendor to discuss confer regarding planned activities. 

Section 18.8 Indemnification in Respect of Trucked Volumes. Without in any way limiting any indemnification
obligation otherwise set forth in the Agreement, the Parties agree that the indemnification obligations of Producer set forth in Section 7.3 and Section 15.2(b) apply to Trucked Volumes delivered to a SWD Trucking Facility.

engages the Transporter shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that the invoicing procedures that Midstream Co has negotiated with the Approved SWD Vendor are used, including notation of the geographic area to which the services pertain.
Midstream Co shall provide a written copy of such procedures to Producer upon request.
