5.5 that continues for a period of 15 consecutive Days, except to the extent (A) such interruption or curtailment is caused by the acts or omissions of Producer, or (B) Producer elects to reduce the Individual Fee with respect to any
volumes that are affected by a Downtime Event pursuant to Section 6.2(c); and 
 (iii) Until a permanent release is
required under Section 2.4(a) or Section 13.2, Midstream Co’s suspension of Services pursuant to Section 13.2(a) (and, if Section 13.2(a)(i) applies, such temporary release shall continue at the discretion of
Midstream Co, subject to the time limits set forth in Section 13.2(a)(i)). 
 Producer may make alternative arrangements for the
gathering of any Dedicated Production temporarily released from the Dedications pursuant to this Section 2.4(b). To the extent that an interruption or curtailment can be limited to a Facility Segment, Midstream Co shall so limit such
interruption or curtailment, and to the extent that Midstream Co does so limit such curtailment or interruption, the temporary release permitted by this Section 2.4(b) shall only apply to the affected Facility Segment. Such temporary
release shall continue until the first Day of the Month after the Month during which Midstream Co cures the applicable default or the interruption, curtailment, or suspension of Services terminates; provided that, if Producer obtained
temporary services from a Third Party (pursuant to a contract that does not give rise to a default under this Agreement) during the pendency of such default, interruption, curtailment, or suspension, such release shall continue until the earlier of
(A) the first Day of the Month that is six Months after the event or condition that gave rise to the interruption, curtailment or other temporary cessation has been corrected and (B) the first Day of the Month after the termination of the
applicable contract with such Third Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the temporary services that Producer may obtain under Section 3.3 shall not constitute a release under the terms of this Agreement; provided that, if Producer cannot
obtain such temporary services without a temporary release, Midstream Co may in its discretion grant or refuse to grant a temporary release on such terms as reasonably required by Midstream Co (including, for example, conditioning the grant of a
temporary release on the establishment of a termination date for such temporary release). 
 (c) Evidence of Release. At the
request of Producer, the Parties shall execute a release agreement reasonably acceptable to all Parties (which, in the case of a permanent release, shall be in recordable form) reflecting any release of Dedicated Production or Dedicated Properties
pursuant to this Section 2.4. 
 Section 2.5 Covenants Running with the Land. Subject to the provisions of Section
2.3 and Section 2.4, each of the Dedications (a) is a covenant running with the Dedicated

 Section 3.2 Expansion of System and Connection of Separator Facilities. 

(a) Service Standards. Midstream Co shall, at its sole cost and expense, design, construct (as applicable), and own the Individual
System in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the System Plan and this Section 3.2. Until such time as Producer has delivered a Development Report, Midstream Co shall have no obligation under this Section
3.2(a). 
 (b) On-Line Deadline. Subject to Section 12.2, Midstream Co shall by the later of (x) the date
that the first Planned Well on a particular Planned Separator Facility (or, with respect to a Planned Well that is not intended to be serviced by a Separator Facility, the date that such Planned Well) is ready for connection to the System and (y)
the applicable Target On-Line Date (such later date, the “On-Line Deadline”): (i) have completed (or caused the completion of) the construction of the necessary facilities, in accordance with the then current System Plan, (A)
to connect such Planned Separator Facility or such Planned Well to the System and (B) to connect the System to each planned Delivery Point for such Planned Separator Facility or such Planned Well, as applicable, and (ii) be ready and able
to commence Services with respect to Dedicated Production from such Planned Separator Facility or Planned Well, as applicable. 
 (c)
Additional/Accelerated Well. From time to time, Producer may provide notice to Midstream Co that Producer has accelerated the Target On-Line Date for a Planned Well or Planned Separator Facility (any such Well or Separator Facility, an
“Additional/Accelerated Well”). Midstream Co will use its commercially reasonable efforts to modify the System Plan and to cause the necessary gathering facilities to be constructed prior to the On-Line Deadline for such
Additional/Accelerated Well. From time to time, Producer may provide notice to Midstream Co that Producer (i) has delayed the Target On-Line Date for a Planned Well or Planned Separator Facility, (ii) subject to Section 3.2(d),
anticipates eliminating a Planned Well or Planned Separator Facility from its development plans and the Development Report, or (iii) anticipates shutting in a Well or Separator Facility that has been producing. Midstream Co may adjust the
System Plan as it determines to be appropriate and commercially reasonable to accommodate such elimination of such Wells and Separator Facilities. 

(d) Cancellation of Planned Wells and Planned Separator Facilities. If (i) Midstream Co reasonably determines that Producer
has permanently abandoned the drilling or installation of any Planned Well or Planned Separator Facility or Producer notifies Midstream Co that Producer intends to permanently abandon the drilling or installation of any Planned Well or Planned
Separator Facility (whether through the delivery of an updated Development Report or otherwise, the date on which such determination is made, the “Abandonment Date”), (ii) Midstream Co had begun to design or construct the
Facility Segment to connect such Planned Well or Planned Separator Facility to the System prior to such Abandonment Date, and (iii) the actual aggregate costs and expenses (excluding Excluded Amounts) incurred or committed by Midstream Co prior
to the Abandonment Date exceeds $100,000.00, then Producer shall reimburse Midstream Co for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (other than the Excluded Amounts) incurred or committed by Midstream Co prior to such Abandonment Date to
design and construct such Facility Segment. 
 (e) Substation and Interconnection Facilities. The obligations of Midstream Co
hereunder to design and construct the Individual System and to perform the Services do not include the design or construction of any substation or other interconnecting facilities required to procure electricity for the Individual System. If a
substation or any other interconnecting facility is required in order for Midstream Co to perform its obligations hereunder, Midstream Co and Producer shall enter into a separate agreement setting forth each Party’s responsibilities in
connection therewith, including an allocation of responsibility for all associated costs and expenses.

 Section 3.3 Temporary Services. 

(a) Pending the completion of facilities contemplated in a System Plan or that may be required to service Wells in existence as of the
Effective Date, Producer may enter into a contract with a Third Party to provide services with respect to the Dedicated Production that is anticipated to be serviced by the new, modified, or enhanced facilities if the term of such contract does not
exceed six Months (and may be renewed in six-Month increments until such time as Midstream Co has completed the applicable facilities). 

(b) If at any time, (i) Producer fails to deliver a Development Report on or before the applicable deadline set forth in
Section 3.1(a), (ii) a Development Report delivered by Producer failed to describe any Well, or (iii) the average rate of production at any Receipt Point described in the then-applicable Development Report exceeds Producer’s
forecast for such Receipt Point set forth in such Development Report, and as a result, Midstream Co has not completed any new, modified, or enhanced facilities necessary to allow Midstream Co to accept all of the Product Tendered by Producer at a
Receipt Point, then (x) within a reasonable time after Midstream Co becomes aware of the need for such new, modified, or enhanced facilities, Midstream Co shall elect, in its sole discretion, whether to proceed with the development and
completion of such facilities by providing notice to Producer, and (y) if Midstream Co elects to proceed with the development and completion of such facilities, (1) Midstream Co shall cause such facilities to be completed within a
reasonable time after such election, and (2) pending the completion of such facilities, Midstream Co may elect (in its reasonable discretion and in exchange for reasonable compensation) to permit Producer to enter into a contract with a Third
Party as provided in Section 3.3(a) to provide services with respect to the Dedicated Production that Midstream Co is unable to accept. 

(c) Any time Producer makes alternative arrangements with a Third Party for the provision of services or to accept Product as provided for in
this Agreement, Producer shall (i) if Midstream Co anticipates being able to provide Services hereunder or to accept Product within a period of time that is shorter than six Months, use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a contract
with a term that expires on or around the date on which Midstream Co anticipates being able to provide Services hereunder or to accept Product, and (ii) notify Midstream Co of the term of such contract promptly after execution
thereof. Prior to requiring Producer to begin using, or resume using, as applicable, Services hereunder, Midstream Co shall provide notice to Producer of the date on which Midstream Co expects to be ready, willing and able to begin providing
Services to Producer no later than 45 Days prior to the expiration of the Third Party contract. In no event shall Producer be required to begin using, or resume using, as applicable, Services on a Day other than the first Day of a Month.

 Article 4

 Measurement Devices 

Section 4.1 Measurement Devices. 

(a) Midstream Co shall construct, install, own, and operate (or cause to be constructed, installed, and operated) the Measurement Devices
located at the Measurement Points. Midstream Co may, in its discretion, construct, install, own, and operate (or cause to be constructed, installed, and operated) Measurement Devices located at or upstream of the Delivery Points or at or
downstream of the Receipt Points. 
 (b) Midstream Co shall cause all Measurement Devices that are owned by Midstream Co to be constructed,
installed, and operated in accordance with applicable industry standards and applicable Laws, and as set forth in the current System Plan. 

(c) Producer shall have the right, at its sole expense, to install, own and operate Measurement Devices located at the Measurement Points,
Receipt Points and Delivery Points. Producer shall cause Producer Meters to be installed, subsequent to providing a minimum of 72 hours’ notice to Midstream Co, so as not to interfere with Midstream Co’s Measurement Devices and shall take
steps that are reasonable and customary in the industry to mitigate or prevent any problems that may interfere with Midstream Co’s Measurement Devices at the Measurement Points. 

(d) Midstream Co may elect to use a Producer Meter as the Measurement Device for a Measurement Point in lieu of constructing, installing,
owning, and operating a Measurement Device located at such Measurement Point by providing notice to Producer (including by 

  
 Texas Crude Oil
Gathering Agreement

detailing such election in the applicable System Plan). If Midstream Co elects to use such Producer Meter as the Measurement Device for a Measurement Point, Producer shall provide Midstream Co
reasonable access to such Producer Meter, including prior advance notice of, and the ability to witness, the calibration of such Producer Meter. 

(e) Producer and Midstream Co shall cause Measurement Devices owned by such Party to be constructed, installed and operated in accordance with
the following depending on the type of meter used: 
 (i) API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standard, Chapter 6.1, Metering
Assemblies, Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) 
 (ii) API, MPMS, Spec 11N, Specification for Lease Automatic Custody
Transfer (LACT) 
 (f) Midstream Co may (but shall not be obligated to) replace or make any alterations to the Measurement Devices necessary
to comply with any subsequent amendments, revisions or modifications of applicable Law or the American Gas Association Reports cited above. With respect to Producer Meters that Midstream Co has elected to use, Producer may (but shall not be
obligated to) replace or make any alterations to the Measurement Devices necessary to comply with any subsequent amendments, revisions or modifications of applicable Law or the American Gas Association Reports cited above. 

(g) The accuracy of all Measurement Devices at the Measurement Points and Delivery Points and of all Measurement Devices that serve as
“check meters” for any such Measurement Point or Delivery Point Measurement Devices will be verified by the owner of such Measurement Device (the “Owner”) at Monthly intervals and, if requested, in the presence of a
representative of the other Party (the “Beneficiary”). The Owner shall verify the accuracy of any owned Measurement Device before the next Monthly verification required by the preceding sentence if the Beneficiary makes a
written request for a special test as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when Daily deliveries of Product at any Measurement Point or Delivery Point average 100 Barrels per Day or less during any Month, the Owner may request from the
Beneficiary that the accuracy of the Measurement Devices at such Measurement Point or Delivery Point be verified quarterly. If, upon any test, any (i) Measurement Device at the Measurement Point is found to be inaccurate by 2.0% or less or (ii)
Measurement Device at the Delivery Point is found to be inaccurate by 0.25% or less, previous readings of such Measurement Device will be considered correct in computing the deliveries of Product under this Agreement. If, upon any test, any (1)
Measurement Device at the Measurement Point is found to be inaccurate by more than 2.0% or (2) Measurement Device at the Delivery Point is found to be inaccurate by more than 0.25% (excessive meter factor deviation), such Measurement Device will
immediately be removed from service, adjusted, repaired or replaced to record accurately (within the manufacturer’s allowance for error) and reproved prior to returning to service. If the excessive meter factor deviation can be explained by
changing conditions (gravity, temperature or flow-rate) no corrective action may be taken if mutually agreed upon by both the Owner and the Beneficiary. Any previous recordings of such Measurement Device with an excessive meter factor deviation will
be corrected by using the arithmetic average of the malfunction factor and the previous factor shall be applied to the production measured through the meter between the 

  
 Texas Crude Oil
Gathering Agreement 
 - 26 - 









 
date of the previous factor and the date of the malfunction factor. The proving report must clearly indicate the meter’s malfunction factor and all remarks associated with the repairs or
adjustments. If the Beneficiary desires a special test of any Measurement Device, at least 72 hours’ advance written notice will be given to the Owner, and the Parties will cooperate to secure a prompt test of the accuracy of such Measurement
Device. If the Measurement Device so tested is found to be inaccurate by 2.0% or less or 0.25% or less, as applicable, the Owner will have the right to bill the Beneficiary for the costs incurred due to such special test, including any labor and
transportation costs, and the Beneficiary will pay such costs promptly upon invoice therefor. 
 (h) If requested by the Beneficiary, the
Measurement Devices owned by Owner shall include a sufficient number of data ports, and Owner shall permit Beneficiary to connect to such data ports, as shall be required to provide to Beneficiary on a real-time basis all measurement data generated
by such measurement equipment. Beneficiary shall be responsible at its own cost for obtaining equipment and services to connect to such data ports and receive and process such data. 

(i) Each Party shall make the charts and records by which measurements are determined available for the use of the other Party in fulfilling
the terms and conditions thereof. Each Party shall, upon written request of the other Party, mail, email or deliver for checking and calculation all volume, BS&W, and gravity, average flowing temperature, average flowing pressure and other
meter or test records in its possession and used in the measurement or allocation of Product delivered under this Agreement within 30 Days after the last chart for each billing period is removed from the meter. Such data shall be returned
within 90 Days after the receipt thereof. 
 (j) Each Party shall preserve or cause to be preserved for mutual use all test data or other
similar records in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of regulatory bodies having jurisdiction, if any, with respect to the retention of such records, and, in any event, for at least 24 Months. 

(k) So long as the Parties to this Agreement are also parties to a Transaction Document that covers Gas, the requirements for Measurement
Devices in respect of Flash Gas shall be covered by such Transaction Document. If at any time the Parties to this Agreement are not also party to another Transaction Document that covers Gas, the Parties shall set forth in the Agreement
Addendum or an appropriate amendment to this Agreement the requirements for Measurement Devices pertaining to Flash Gas; absent such agreement, Midstream Co shall install and maintain measuring equipment at the Delivery Points that is in accordance
with applicable API standards. 
 Section 4.2 Measurement Procedures. Midstream Co shall use the Measurement Devices owned by
Midstream Co (or if Midstream Co’s rights under Section 4.1(d) are exercised, then the Measurement Devices owned by Producer) at the Measurement Points to determine the volumes of Product passing through the Individual System for
purposes of Article 6 and Article 10. Midstream Co shall cause (or if Midstream Co’s rights under Section 4.1(d) are exercised, then Producer shall cause) the measurements of the quantity and quality of all Product
measured at the Measurement Points (and at each Receipt Point or Delivery Point at which measurements are taken) to be conducted in accordance with industry standards (referenced below) and governmental regulations, BLM Onshore Order No. 4:

 (i) Midstream Co shall have the right to curtail or interrupt receipts and deliveries of Product for
brief periods to perform necessary maintenance of and repairs or modifications (including modifications required to perform its obligations under this Agreement) to the Individual System; provided, however, that to the extent reasonably practicable,
Midstream Co shall coordinate its maintenance, repair and modification operations with the operations of Producer and, in any case, will use its reasonable efforts to schedule maintenance, repair and modification operations so as to avoid or
minimize to the greatest extent possible service curtailments or interruptions. 
 (ii) Midstream Co shall provide Producer
(x) with 60 Days prior notice of any upcoming normal and routine maintenance, repair and modification projects that Midstream Co has planned that would result in a curtailment or interruption of Producer’s deliveries and the estimated time
period for such curtailment or interruption and (y) with six Months prior notice of any maintenance (A) of which Midstream Co has knowledge at least six Months in advance and (B) that is anticipated to result in a curtailment or interruption of
Producer’s deliveries for five or more consecutive Days. 
 (iii) On or before January 1, 2017, Midstream Co shall
provide a schedule of the expected planned maintenance for the System for the subsequent 12 Months.

Thereafter, on or before October 1 of each Year, starting October 1, 2017, Midstream Co shall deliver a schedule of the expected planned maintenance for the System for the subsequent 12
Months. The delivery of this plan is intended as a tool to assist the Parties in planning and does not replace the notices required in the foregoing clauses and in no way commits Midstream Co to adhere to the schedule set forth in such 12-Month
plan. 
 Section 5.6 Marketing and Transportation. As between the Parties, Producer shall make all necessary arrangements at and
downstream of the Delivery Points, for the receipt, further transportation, and marketing of Producer’s owned and Controlled Product. 

Section 5.7 No Prior Flow of Product in Interstate Commerce. Producer represents and warrants that at the time of Tender, none of
the Product delivered at a Receipt Point hereunder has flowed in interstate commerce. 
 Article 6 

Fees 
 Section 6.1
Fees. Producer shall pay Midstream Co each Month in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for all Services provided by Midstream Co with respect to Dedicated Production received by Midstream Co from Producer or for Producer’s
account during such Month, an amount, for each Individual System, equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) the Net Standard Volume of Product, stated in Barrels, received by Midstream Co from Producer or for Producer’s account at the
applicable Receipt Points for such Product within the applicable Individual System during such Month, multiplied by (y) the applicable Individual Fee, (ii) (reserved) and (iii) an amount equal to Producer’s allocated portion of
the actual costs incurred by Midstream Co for electricity required to provide Services, such allocation to be based upon the aggregate quantities of Product received by Midstream Co. 

Section 6.2 Fee Adjustments. 

(a) Redetermination. 

(i) Redetermination Proposal. Between November 1 and December 31 of any Year, Midstream Co shall prepare and
deliver to Producer for its review and comment a written proposal (each, a “Redetermination Proposal”) to redetermine each Individual Fee (unless the Parties mutually agree not to redetermine any particular Individual Fee) in
accordance with this Section 6.2(a). Each Redetermination Proposal shall include relevant supporting documentation based upon the latest updated Development Report and System Plan and shall take into account future items including projected
production volumes, operating revenue projections, and budgeted amounts for capital expenditures and all estimated operating expenses that Midstream Co believes will be necessary to provide the applicable Services as contemplated by the latest
updated Development Report and System Plan; provided that a redetermined Individual Fee as agreed to by the Parties (a “Redetermined Individual Fee”) shall not recoup the difference between (A) estimated operating expenses or
revenues and (B) actual operating expenses or revenues for periods prior to the effective date of such Redetermined Individual Fee. The Parties may agree to redetermine a particular Individual Fee without obligation to agree to redetermine any other
Individual Fee. 
 (ii) Subsequent Redetermination Timing. Any Redetermined Individual Fee agreed to by the Parties on
or prior to the last Business Day of February of the applicable Adjustment Year (“Redetermination Deadline”) shall become effective as of the first Day of the Month following the Month in which agreement has been reached. If the
Parties fail to agree upon a redetermination of any Individual Fee set forth in the applicable Redetermination Proposal on or prior to the Redetermination Deadline, such Individual Fee shall remain in effect without redetermination pursuant to this
Section 6.2(a). For purposes of this Section 6.2(a)(ii), the Year immediately after the Year during which a Redetermination Proposal is delivered is herein the “Adjustment Year.”

 (b) Annual Escalation. Effective as of July 1 of each Year, the Individual Fee will
be increased by multiplying the then-applicable Individual Fee by the Escalation Percentage (herein, the “Increase in Fee”) and adding the then-applicable Individual Fee to the Increase in Fee; provided that Reimbursed
Amounts shall not be subject to this Section 6.2(b). Such annual increase to the Individual Fee shall become effective on July 1 of the applicable Year, even if such Individual Fee was redetermined pursuant to Section 6.2(a),
with an effective date during the same Year. 
 (c) Downtime Events. If during any Month (as applicable, the “Applicable
Month”), (i) one or more Downtime Events occur with respect to a Facility Segment, (ii) such Downtime Events caused the Downtime Percentage for such Facility Segment during the Applicable Month to exceed the lowest percentage specified
on Exhibit B during such Month, and (iii) Producer has waived its right to a temporary release of Dedicated Production under Section 2.4(b), then the Individual Fee for the applicable Facility Segment shall be reduced by the
reduction percentage corresponding to the applicable Downtime Percentage on the chart on Exhibit B during each hour in which such Facility Segment is available to provide Services (an “Operating Hour”) during the subsequent
Month until the reduced Individual Fee has been applied to an aggregate number of Operating Hours equal to the aggregate number of Downtime Hours during the Applicable Month. If the aggregate number of Operating Hours during the subsequent Month is
less than the aggregate number of Downtime Hours during the Applicable Month, the applicable reduced Individual Fee shall be applied to Operating Hours during the next-subsequent Month or Months until the reduced Individual Fee has been applied to
an aggregate number of Operating Hours equal to the aggregate number of Downtime Hours during the Applicable Month. A reduced Individual Fee that would otherwise apply during any Month subsequent to an Applicable Month shall not be applied until all
Downtime Hours from previous Applicable Months have been addressed as provided in this Section. 
 Section 6.3 Treatment of Byproducts,
System Gains/Losses, Fuel and Related Matters. No separate fee shall be chargeable by Midstream Co and no refund or reduction in the Individual Fee shall be chargeable by or owed to Producer for the hydrocarbons or services described in
this Section 6.3, except as provided in Section 6.3(d). 
 (a) Drip Condensate and Recovered Oil. Midstream Co
shall deliver to Producer, each Month, all Drip Condensate and Recovered Oil allocated to Producer or for Producer’s account to the extent Producer and Midstream Co have agreed in writing to require such allocation.

 (b) Flash Gas. Midstream Co shall deliver to Producer, each Month, all Flash Gas
allocated to Producer or for Producer’s account by delivering such Flash Gas into the Gas System to the extent Producer and Midstream Co have agreed in writing to require such allocation. At all times during the Term, either (x) Midstream
Co and Producer shall be party to both this Agreement and another Transaction Document that covers Gas (in which case Producer shall not owe any amount under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which Midstream Co is a Party as a
result of Flash Gas being transported through the Gas System) or (y) the Parties shall set forth in the Agreement Addendum or an appropriate amendment to this Agreement the methodology for Midstream Co to deliver Flash Gas to Producer and any
fee applicable thereto. 
 (c) System Gains/Losses. 

(i) Midstream Co will perform a Monthly material balance for each Individual System based on comparison of Product delivered,
Product inventory change within Midstream Co’s facilities, and the theoretical Product (after removal of Associated Water and Flash Gas) received into the Individual System at Receipt Points (or measured if Associated Water and Flash Gas of
Product at Receipt Points meets Oil Quality specifications of Downstream Facilities or markets without treatment by Midstream Co). Actual System gains or losses from the material balance will be allocated back to Producer’s Receipt Points
to determine allocated quantities of Product received at Receipt Points for each Month. 
 (ii) If, during any Month, System
Gains/Losses on an Individual System allocated to Producer in accordance with this Agreement exceeds 2.00% of the total quantities of Producer’s owned or Controlled Product delivered to the Individual System in such Month, then Midstream Co
will, for the respective Individual System, obtain updated test data (i.e. sample results, meter proves, etc.) from Receipt Points involved in calculating theoretical Product (after removal of Associated Water and Flash Gas) received into the System
at Receipt Points on the Individual System and conduct a field-wide (on an Individual System basis) meter inspection and proving, if necessary, followed by an updated balance. If Midstream Co determines that a repair to the Individual System is
needed to reduce the System Gains/Losses below 2.00%, Midstream Co shall undertake such repairs in a commercially reasonable manner and as soon after making such determination as is commercially reasonable. 

(iii) Midstream Co shall provide Producer with prior notice of, and reasonable access to observe, any such field-wide meter
balance. 
 (d) Other System Fuel. Midstream Co may elect to use Other System Fuel as fuel to operate the Individual System, or to
generate electricity for the operation of the Individual System and shall account for any Other System Fuel used by Midstream Co. Producer, at its sole cost and expense, shall procure all fuel except diesel, in addition to Other System Fuel
used by Midstream Co, if any, required to operate the Individual System or to generate electricity for the operation of the Individual System and arrange for transportation of such fuel to the Individual System. 

(e) Associated Water. Midstream Co shall deliver to Producer, each Month, all Associated Water allocated to Producer or for
Producer’s account by delivering such Associated Water into the Water System. The Parties acknowledge that there is no separate fee chargeable by Midstream Co hereunder for Services with respect to Associated Water and that the fees chargeable
by Midstream Co hereunder for Product sufficiently compensate Midstream Co for Services with respect to Associated Water. The Monthly Loss/ Gain Report shall include a statement of the Associated Water separated from the Product and delivered to
Producer into the Water System.

 Article 7 

Quality 
 Section 7.1
Quality Specifications. 
 (a) Each Individual System will be operated as a field System, and as such, Product received from Producer
at the Receipt Points shall conform to the following quality specifications, provided that the following may be varied or adjusted as described in this Section 7.1 or by express language set forth in the applicable Agreement
Addendum. Midstream Co will not accept any Product unless it meets the specifications listed in the chart below and unless other properties of such Product (viscosity, pour point, and other properties) are such that it will be readily susceptible to
transportation through Midstream Co’s pipeline system. These specifications may be applied to each Barrel of Producer’s nomination and not be limited to the composite sample of the nomination.

 (b) Reserved  

(c) All Product delivered by Producer to Midstream Co shall have a maximum temperature of one hundred forty degrees (140o) Fahrenheit at
the Receipt Point. 
 (d) From time to time, Midstream Co may require that Producer furnish certified laboratory reports showing the results
of quality tests on the Product tendered for gathering. Midstream Co may also from time to time obtain samples for laboratory analysis to check compliance with the specifications cited above.

 (e) If any Product Tendered by Producer to the Individual System fails at any time to conform to
the applicable specifications, then Midstream Co will have the rights specified in Section 7.2. 
 (f) If Producer’s Product
delivered to the Receipt Points complies with such quality specifications, then all Product redelivered at the Delivery Points by Midstream Co to Producer shall meet the quality specifications of the applicable Downstream Facility. Midstream Co may
commingle Product received into the Individual System with other Product shipments and, subject to Midstream Co’s obligation to redeliver to Producer at the Delivery Points Product that satisfies the applicable quality specifications of the
Delivery Points, (a) such Product shall be subject to such changes in quality, composition and other characteristics as may result from such commingling and the removal of Associated Water and Flash Gas (if any), (b) Midstream Co shall
have no other obligation to Producer associated with changes in quality of Product as the result of such commingling and Associated Water and Flash Gas removal, and (c) Midstream Co shall have the right to change the quality specifications to
comply with any changes in the Downstream Facility specifications. 
 Section 7.2 Failure to Meet Specifications. If any Product
Tendered by Producer to the Individual System fails at any time to conform to the applicable specifications, then Midstream Co will have the right to discontinue receipt of such non-conforming Product. Unless such non-conforming Product creates
a safety hazard or may damage existing infrastructure (in the opinion of Midstream Co), Midstream Co shall provide notice (which notice may be verbal initially, followed by written confirmation) to Producer twenty-four (24) hours prior to such
discontinuation, and Producer shall cease delivery of Product until such time as the Product Tendered by Producer will again conform to the applicable specifications. If Producer fails to comply with the discontinuation notice (or deliver a formal
dispute, as specified in the following sentence) prior to the expiration of twenty-four (24) hours after receiving such notice from Midstream Co, then Midstream Co shall be entitled to unilaterally cease receiving Product. If Producer disputes
Midstream Co’s determination that any Product fails to conform to the applicable specifications, then Producer shall (a) notify Midstream Co thereof within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving such notice from Midstream Co, (b) submit
the applicable Product to a mutually agreed upon Third Party laboratory, and (c) cause such laboratory to analyze the Product within seventy-two (72) hours after Producer’s receipt of Midstream Co’s notice of non-conformance (during which
time Midstream Co shall continue to accept deliveries from Producer, unless Midstream Co believes such deliveries present a safety hazard or may damage installed infrastructure). If the results of such analysis provide that the applicable Product is
non-conforming, the costs and expenses associated with such analysis shall be borne by Producer; if the results of such analysis provide that the applicable Product conforms to the specifications, then Midstream Co shall reimburse Producer for all
reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by Producer to cause such Third Party laboratory to perform such analysis. Producer will promptly undertake commercially reasonable measures to eliminate the cause of such non-conformance.
Midstream Co, in its sole discretion, may accept receipt, or continue to receive, non-conforming Product if the blending and commingling of such Producer’s non-conforming Product with other Product in the Individual System does not materially
affect the System and the ability of Midstream Co to deliver Product at Delivery Points within applicable Delivery Point specifications. Midstream Co’s continued taking of non-conforming Product shall not relieve Producer of the responsibility
to undertake commercially reasonable measures to eliminate the cause of such non-conformance. 
 Section 7.3 Indemnification Regarding
Quality. PRODUCER SHALL RELEASE, PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS MIDSTREAM CO GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ALL LOSSES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR IN ANY MANNER ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE FAILURE OF THE
PRODUCT DELIVERED BY PRODUCER TO THE INDIVIDUAL SYSTEM TO MEET THE QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, INCLUDING DISPOSAL COSTS, DAMAGE TO OR SUSTAINED BY THE INDIVIDUAL SYSTEM (INCLUDING THE EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENT PARTS), COSTS EXPENDED BY
MIDSTREAM CO OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES TO RETURN THE INDIVIDUAL SYSTEM AND RELATED FACILITIES TO SERVICES, CLAIMS OF OTHER PRODUCERS ON THE INDIVIDUAL SYSTEM, AND CLAIMS OF OWNERS OF ALL DOWNSTREAM FACILITIES.

other circumstances, as between the Parties, Producer shall be deemed to have custody and control of, and be responsible for, such Product. 

Article 10 
 Billing and
Payment 
 Section 10.1 Statements. 

(a) Ordinary Course. Midstream Co shall submit invoices to Producer on or before the 25th Day after the end of a Month (the
“Invoice Month”). Each invoice shall be accompanied by supporting information for all amounts charged by such invoice. All amounts owed for Services provided during an Invoice Month shall be reflected on the applicable invoice for
such Invoice Month; provided that to the extent any amount appearing on an invoice is in respect of an amount paid by Midstream Co to a Third Party (collectively, the “Reimbursed Amount”) or the calculation of such amount is
contingent on information provided by a Third Party (collectively, the “Conditional Amount”), such Reimbursed Amount and Conditional Amount, shall be reflected on an invoice within 90 Days after the end of the Month in which such
Reimbursed Amount was paid by Midstream Co. 
 (b) Reserved. 

(c) Detail. Midstream Co shall cause its invoices and supporting information to include information reasonably sufficient
to explain and support any estimates and charges reflected therein, the reconciliation of any estimates made in a prior Month to the actual measurements for such Month, and any adjustments to prior period volumes and quantities. 

(d) Monthly Loss/ Gain Report. Midstream Co shall deliver to Producer, on or before the close of business of the 40th Day
after the applicable Invoice Month a Monthly Loss/ Gain Report. If Midstream Co elects, it may deliver such Monthly Loss/ Gain Report concurrently with the applicable invoice. 

(e) One Invoice; Netting. To the extent that Midstream Co and Producer are party to this Agreement and one or more other
Transaction Documents, one invoice may be delivered in respect of all amounts owing under such Transaction Documents. The Parties shall net all undisputed amounts due and owing or past due and owing arising under the Transaction Documents to
which Producer and Midstream Co are parties such that the Party owing the greater amount shall make a single payment of the net amount to the other Party. No amounts owing to or by any Midstream Co may be set off against amounts owing to or by
any other Midstream Co. No amounts owing to or by any Producer may be set off against amounts owing to or by any other Producer. To the extent possible, all fee adjustments set forth in Article 6 shall be accomplished by setoff or netting.

 Section 10.2 Payments. 

(a) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, all invoices under this Agreement shall be due and payable in accordance with each invoice’s
instructions on or before the later of the 30th 

  
 Texas Crude Oil
Gathering Agreement 
 - 38 - 









 
Day of each Month and the 10th Day after receipt of the invoice or, if such Day is not a Business Day, then on the next Business Day. All payments by Producer under this Agreement shall be
made by electronic funds transfer to the account designated by Midstream Co. Any amounts not paid by the due date will be deemed delinquent and, with respect to amounts owed to Midstream Co, will accrue interest at the Interest Rate, such
interest to be calculated from and including the due date but excluding the date the delinquent amount is paid in full. 
 (b) If Producer,
in good faith, disputes the amount of any invoice of Midstream Co, Producer will pay Midstream Co such amount, if any, that is not in dispute and shall provide Midstream Co notice, no later than 30 Days after the date that payment of such invoice
would be due under Section 10.2(a), of the disputed amount accompanied by reasonable documentation to support Producer’s dispute. If Producer fails to provide notice of dispute within such 30-Day period, then Producer shall be deemed to
have waived its right to dispute the applicable invoice, except for a dispute following an audit conducted in accordance with Section 10.4. Following Midstream Co’s receipt of such dispute notice, Producer and Midstream Co shall
endeavor in good faith to resolve such dispute, and if the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within a reasonable time, such dispute may be resolved in accordance with Section 17.6 of this Agreement. Upon resolution of the
dispute, any required payment shall be made within 15 Days after such resolution, and, if such amount shall be paid to Midstream Co, such amount shall be paid along with interest accrued at the Interest Rate from and including the due date but
excluding the date paid. 
 Section 10.3 Adequate Assurances. If (a) Producer fails to pay according to the provisions hereof
and such failure continues for a period of 5 Business Days after written notice of such failure is provided to Producer, (b) Producer is not the Original Producer or (c) Midstream Co has reasonable grounds for insecurity regarding the performance by
Producer of any obligation under this Agreement, then Midstream Co, by notice to Producer, may, singularly or in combination with any other rights it may have, demand Adequate Assurance of Performance from Producer. “Adequate Assurance of
Performance” means, at the option of Producer, any of the following, (x) advance payment in cash by Producer to Midstream Co for Services to be provided under this Agreement in the following Month or (y) delivery to Midstream Co by
Producer of an irrevocable standby letter of credit or a performance bond, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Midstream Co, issued by a Credit-Worthy Person, in an amount equal to not less than the aggregate proceeds due from Producer
under Section 10.1 for the prior 2-Month period. Promptly following the termination of the condition giving rise to Midstream Co’s reasonable grounds for insecurity or payment in full of amounts outstanding, as applicable, Midstream
Co shall release to Producer the cash, letter of credit, bond or other assurance provided by Producer (including any accumulated interest, if applicable, and less any amounts actually applied to cover Producer’s obligations hereunder). 

Section 10.4 Audit. Each Party has the right, at its sole expense and during normal working hours, to examine the records of the
other Party to the extent reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, charge or computation made pursuant to the provisions of the Transaction Documents. The scope of such examination will be limited to the 24 Months preceding
the date such notice of audit, statement, charge or computation was presented. No Party may conduct more than one audit (taking all Transaction Documents to which Producer is a party together) of another Party during any Year (except that, if a
Party is in default hereunder, 

  
 Texas Crude Oil
Gathering Agreement 
 - 39 - 









 
additional audits may be conducted during the continuance of such default). If any such examination reveals any inaccuracy in any statement or charge, the necessary adjustments in such
statement or charge and the payments necessitated thereby shall be made within 60 Days of resolution of the inaccuracy. This provision of this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement for the later of (a) a period of 24
Months from the end of the Year in which the date of such termination occurred or (b) until a dispute initiated within the 24 Month period is finally resolved, in each case for the purpose of such statement and payment objections. 

Article 11 
 Remedies

 Section 11.1 Suspension of Performance; Temporary Release from Dedication. 

(a) Suspension by Midstream Co as Remedy for Payment Default. If Producer fails to pay any invoice rendered under
Article 10, such failure is not due to a good faith dispute by Producer in accordance with Section 10.2(b), and such failure is not remedied within 5 Business Days after Producer’s receipt of written notice of such failure
from Midstream Co, Midstream Co shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to (i) suspend performance (including withholding any payments that are owed by Midstream Co to Producer, and such withheld amounts shall not be subject to setoff
under Section 10.1(e)) under this Agreement until such amount, including interest at the Interest Rate, is paid in full or (ii) continue performing the Services under this Agreement, and, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, sell
any Product delivered by Producer to the Receipt Points on Producer’s behalf, and use the proceeds therefrom to reimburse Midstream Co for any amounts due and owing to Midstream Co, and, at Producer’s election, either (y) remit any
excess amounts received under such sale to Producer or (z) reduce the Services Fee due from Producer to Midstream Co for the following Month by the amount of such excess. 

(b) Additional Suspensions as Remedies. If a Party fails to perform or comply with any material warranty, covenant or obligation
(other than as provided in Section 11.1(a) or Section 2.4(a)(i)) contained in this Agreement and such failure has not been remedied within 60 Days after its receipt of written notice from the other Party of such failure, then the non-defaulting
Party shall have the right to suspend performance of its obligations under this Agreement that are affected by such failure or non-compliance (including withholding any payments that are owed to the other Party, and such withheld amounts shall not
be subject to netting or setoff under Section 10.1(e)); provided that Producer may not withhold any payments that are owed to Midstream Co for Services actually performed by Midstream Co. Original Producer’s failure to accurately track,
calculate and timely provide support of the total Net Acres sold pursuant to Section 16.2(b)(ii) shall constitute a material breach of Original Producer’s obligations hereunder. 

(c) Specific Performance and Declaratory Judgments. Damages in the event of breach of this Agreement by a Party hereto may be
difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. Therefore, each Party, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, will have the right to seek a declaratory judgment and will have the right to an injunction or other
equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach, and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and each of the Parties hereto hereby waives any 

  
 Texas Crude Oil
Gathering Agreement 
 - 40 - 









 
and all defenses it may have on the ground of lack of jurisdiction or competence of the court to grant such an injunction or other equitable relief. The existence of this right will not preclude
any Party from pursuing any other rights and remedies at law or in equity that such Party may have. 
 Section 11.2 No
Election. In the event of a default by a Party under this Agreement, the other Party shall be entitled in its sole discretion to pursue one or more of the remedies set forth in this Agreement, or such other remedy as may be available to it
under this Agreement, at Law or in equity, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 11.3 and Article 15. No election of remedies shall be required or implied as the result of a Party’s decision to avail itself of
a remedy under this Agreement. 
 Section 11.3 DIRECT DAMAGES. A PARTY’S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A BREACH OR VIOLATION OF
ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, AGREEMENT OR CONDITION CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES AND SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY OTHER LOSS OR DAMAGE,
INCLUDING INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, PRODUCTION, OR REVENUES, AND EACH PARTY RELEASES THE OTHER PARTY FROM ALL SUCH CLAIMS FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE OTHER THAN ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES;
PROVIDED THAT THIS LIMITATION TO DIRECT DAMAGES SHALL NOT LIMIT THE PARTIES’ INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER Section 3.5(c), Section 7.3, AND Article 15. 

Article 12 
 Force
Majeure 
 Section 12.1 Force Majeure. If either Midstream Co or Producer is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to
carry out, in whole or part, its obligations under this Agreement and such Party gives notice (which notice may initially be delivered orally so long as written notice is delivered as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) and reasonably full
details of the event (including the nature, extent, effect, and likely duration of the event or circumstances constituting the Force Majeure event) to the other Party as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the event, then, during the
pendency of such Force Majeure, but only during that period, the obligations of the Party affected by the event shall be canceled or suspended, as applicable, to the extent required; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in
the foregoing to the contrary, no Party shall be relieved from any indemnification obligation or any obligation to make payments, as the result of Force Majeure, regardless of which Party is affected; provided further that if the Force
Majeure impacts only a particular Facility Segment or Individual System, then the suspension of obligations described in this sentence shall apply only to the applicable Facility Segment or Individual System and not to the obligations owing in
connection with the rest of the System. The Party affected by Force Majeure shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the Force Majeure condition with all reasonable dispatch, shall give notice to the other Party of the termination of
the Force Majeure, and shall resume performance of any suspended obligation promptly after termination of such Force Majeure. 
 Section
12.2 Extension Due to Force Majeure. If a Party is unable to meet any deadline set forth herein as a result of a Force Majeure, then provided that such Party complies with the provisions of Section 12.1, such deadline shall be extended
for a period of time equal to the period of time during which such Party is delayed due to the Force Majeure.

 Article 13 

Change in Law; Uneconomic Service 

Section 13.1 Changes in Applicable Law. 

(a) If any new Laws are enacted or amended or any new interpretations in respect of previously existing Laws are issued after the Effective
Date that require Midstream Co to make capital expenditures with respect to the System, then Midstream Co may propose an increase to the applicable Individual Fee as may be necessary or appropriate to preserve and continue for the Parties the rights
and benefits originally contemplated for the Parties by this Agreement; provided, however, that no increase to the applicable Individual Fee pursuant to this Section 13.1 shall be applicable unless and until, in the reasonable judgment
of Midstream Co, Midstream Co would be required to make capital expenditures with respect to the System in order to comply with such new Law that materially and adversely affects the economics of the Services provided, fees received, or the other
economic benefits of this Agreement for Midstream Co. 
 (b) Producer shall accept or reject, in its sole discretion, Midstream Co’s
proposed increase to the Individual Fee within 30 Days after receiving such proposal from Midstream Co. If Producer fails to provide notice of such acceptance or rejection within such 30-Day period, then Producer shall be deemed to have accepted
such increase. If Producer rejects the amount of the proposed increase, then Midstream Co shall release the Wells, Separator Facilities, Receipt Points, Spacing Units, and Dedicated Production that would have been affected by such increase in
accordance with Section 2.4(a)(viii). The Parties will amend, update, or revise the applicable Agreement Addendum in accordance with this Agreement to reflect any changes in the applicable Individual Fees agreed to in accordance with this
Section 13.1. 
 (c) Producer and Midstream Co shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to comply with new and amended
applicable Laws and new interpretations of existing Laws. 
 Section 13.2 Unprofitable Operations and Rights of Termination. 

(a) Cessation of Services. If, in the sole discretion of Midstream Co, (x) the gathering of Product from any Wells, Separator
Facilities or Receipt Points, (y) the delivery of Product to any Delivery Points or (z) the provision of any other Service under this Agreement, is or becomes uneconomical due to its volume, quality, or for any other cause, then Midstream Co shall
not be obligated to provide the applicable Services so long as such condition exists. 
 (i) If Midstream Co suspends
Services under this Section 13.2(a) as a result of Producer’s (A) negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement, (B) delivery of Product that fails to meet the quality specifications required by Section
7.1, or (C) execution of a plan of development that deviates from the then-applicable Development Report, then Midstream Co may resume providing such Services at any

time, upon two months’ advance written notice delivered to Producer, and the affected Wells, Separator Facilities, Receipt Points, Spacing Units and Dedicated Production shall only be
permanently released as a result of suspension under this clause by mutual agreement of the Parties under Section 2.4(a)(iv). 

(ii) If Midstream Co suspends Services under this Section 13.2(a) for any reason other than as specified in clause (i)
above and (x) such suspension continues for six consecutive Months or (y) Midstream Co delivers notice to Producer that such suspension shall be permanent, then the applicable Wells, Separator Facilities, Receipt Points, Spacing Units, and
Dedicated Production shall be permanently released as specified in Section 2.4(a)(viii). 
 (b) Election not to Expand
System. If Midstream Co determines, in its discretion, that an expansion of the Individual System to satisfy the needs of Producer, as described in Section 3.2 hereof, would be uneconomical, then Midstream Co shall neither be
obligated to undertake such expansion nor to provide the applicable Services. Producer shall be entitled to a release of the applicable Planned Wells, Planned Separator Facilities and Dedicated Production pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(ix)
immediately upon Midstream Co’s delivery of a System Plan (marked as “Final”) indicating that a requested expansion would be uneconomical pursuant Section 13.2(d). 

(c) Start Date of Suspension of Services. Midstream Co shall cause any suspension of Services permitted by this
Section 13.2 to commence on the first Day of a Month and not on any other Day. 
 (d) Supporting Documentation and Management
Discussions. As soon as Midstream Co determines that an expansion of the Individual System will not be economic or that continuing to provide Services at existing facilities has been rendered uneconomic, Midstream Co shall communicate the
same to Producer. 
 (i) With respect to existing facilities, such notice shall be delivered to Producer at least 180 Days in
advance of any proposed curtailment under this Section 13.2 and such notice shall be accompanied by documentation supporting its claim that certain Services have become uneconomical. Commencing on the date on which such notice is
delivered and continuing for 180 Days, Midstream Co shall participate in Meetings of Senior Management if so requested by Producer, so long as such Meetings of Senior Management are scheduled at mutually agreeable times and locations, in order to
negotiate a transition of Services that will not materially adversely affect Producer. Such discussions may include the following matters and such other matters aimed at ameliorating the detrimental effects of Midstream Co ceasing to provide
Services: (A) purchase by Producer from Midstream Co of the pipe, rights of way or other assets necessary for the types of services that otherwise would have been performed under this Agreement, (B) a continuation of the provision of
Services hereunder by Midstream Co for a period of time longer than the 180 Days required hereby in order to permit Producer sufficient time to take over operations or find an alternate midstream service provider and (C) adjustments to the
Development Plan or rework certain Wells in order to address the concerns of Midstream Co with respect to providing Services thereto. In no event shall 

  
 Texas Crude Oil
Gathering Agreement 
 - 43 - 









 
Midstream Co’s obligation to be available for Meetings of Senior Management create an obligation on Midstream Co to continue providing services past the 180 Days required hereby, and
Midstream Co is under no obligation to agree to any amendments to this Agreement or modifications to the Services provided in order to accommodate requests of Producer during such negotiations. However, both Parties have an obligation to negotiate
in good faith during such discussions. 
 (ii) With respect to planned facilities, Midstream Co shall indicate that providing
Services to Planned Wells or Planned Separator Facilities is uneconomical by failing to include the necessary expansion projects in the applicable System Plan and shall provide supporting documentation for its determination that such expansion would
be uneconomical, if requested by Producer. If Midstream Co delivers a System Plan (marked as “Final”) describing the necessary expansion projects, such delivery shall be deemed to be a commitment by Midstream Co to complete such expansion
without exercising its rights under Section 13.2(b), so long as conditions (including anticipated throughput, pricing, the ability to obtain rights-of-way, Producer’s continued execution of the Development Report, and any other factors
deemed material by Midstream Co) do not materially change; provided, however that upon the initiation of Services through such expansion project or through a component part of such expansion project, such expansion (or applicable portion
thereof) shall be considered “existing facilities” for purposes of this Section 13.2 and Midstream Co shall have all of the rights set forth herein with respect to existing facilities that become uneconomical. Nothing in this
Section 13.2(d) shall give Producer a right to consent to a suspension under this Section 13.2. 
 (e) No Obligation to
Drill or Operate. Without limiting the right of Producer to revise the Development Report to eliminate any proposed Wells or Separator Facilities, nothing herein shall be construed to require Producer to drill any Well, to continue to
operate any Well, to place any new Separator Facility into service or to maintain the operation of any Separator Facility that a prudent operator would not in like circumstances drill or continue to operate. 

Article 14 
 Regulatory
Status 
 Section 14.1 Non-Jurisdictional System. The Services being provided by Midstream Co hereunder are intended to be
gathering services, and no Governmental Authority currently establishes the rates or terms of service relating to the Services. This Agreement is subject to all valid present and future Laws of Governmental Authorities now or hereafter having
jurisdiction over the Parties, this Agreement, the Services performed, or the System. It is the intent of the Parties that no Governmental Authority shall alter any provisions in the Agreement in such a way that would have the effect of
altering the economic benefits of either Party, as originally contemplated under this Agreement. The Parties shall (a) vigorously defend and support in good faith the enforceability of this Agreement and the continuance, without alternation, of the
Services in any and all proceedings before any Governmental Authority in which this Agreement is subject to review and (b) not initiate or support, either directly or indirectly, any challenge with any Governmental Authorities to the rates provided
herein or any other modification to this Agreement that would alter the economic benefits of a Party as originally contemplated under this Agreement.

 Section 14.2 Government Authority Modification. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 14.1, if the rates are changed or required to be changed or any other modification to this Agreement that alters the economic benefits of a Party, as originally contemplated under this Agreement, in response to any order, regulation,
or other mandate of a Governmental Authority, then no such change or modification shall constitute a breach or other default under the terms of this Agreement, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to enter into such amendments to this
Agreement or a separate arrangement in order to give effect, to the greatest extent possible, the economic benefit as originally contemplated in this Agreement. If, in the reasonable opinion of Midstream Co’s counsel, a Governmental
Authority’s regulation of Midstream Co’s results in (a) Midstream Co not having the same economic benefits as originally contemplated under this Agreement or (b) Midstream Co’s or any of its Affiliate’s pipelines becoming subject
to additional legal requirements or regulation, and the Parties have not mutually agreed as to how to mitigate or alleviate the foregoing, then Midstream Co shall have the right, without liability, to terminate this Agreement. 

Article 15 

Indemnification and Insurance 

Section 15.1 Reciprocal Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and except as otherwise set forth in
Section 3.5(c) and Section 7.3: 
 (a) Producer Indemnification. Producer shall release, protect,
defend, indemnify and hold harmless Midstream Co Group from and against all Losses directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with bodily injury, death, illness, disease, or loss or damage to property of Producer or any member of
Producer Group in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, directly or indirectly. THIS RELEASE, DEFENSE AND INDEMNITY OBLIGATION SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF FAULT OF MIDSTREAM CO GROUP OR ANY OTHER PERSONS. 

(b) Midstream Co Indemnification. Midstream Co shall release, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Producer Group from and
against all Losses directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with bodily injury, death, illness, disease, or loss or damage to property of Midstream Co or any member of Midstream Co Group in any way arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, directly or indirectly. THIS RELEASE, DEFENSE AND INDEMNITY OBLIGATION SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF FAULT OF PRODUCER GROUP OR ANY OTHER PERSONS. 

(c) Regardless of Fault. AS USED IN THE PRECEDING TWO SUBCLAUSES, THE PHRASE “REGARDLESS OF FAULT” SHALL MEAN, WITH
RESPECT TO ANY LOSS THAT IS CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR OTHERWISE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER FAULT, OF ANY MEMBER OF MIDSTREAM CO GROUP OR THE
PRODUCER GROUP, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CAUSE OR CAUSES THEREOF AND WITHOUT LIMITATION OF SUCH LOSS AND WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION. 

  
 Texas Crude Oil
Gathering Agreement 
 - 45 - 









 Section 15.2 Indemnification Regarding Third Parties. Each Party shall release,
protect, defend, indemnify and hold the other Party harmless against any Loss by a Third Party that is not a member of the Producer Group or Midstream Co Group, to the extent such Loss (a) is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
said indemnifying Party or such Party’s Group, or (b) in the case of Producer as indemnifying Party, results from claims by a Third Party of title, rights, or encumbrances in or to Product delivered by Producer to a Receipt Point.

 Section 15.3 Penalties. Producer shall release, protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Midstream Co from any Losses
resulting from penalties imposed by a Downstream Facility in any transportation contracts or service agreements associated with, or related to, Producer’s owned or Controlled Product, including any penalties imposed pursuant to the Downstream
Facility’s tariff. 
 Section 15.4 Insurance. Midstream Co and Producer shall (a) carry and maintain no less than the
insurance coverage set forth in Exhibit D, and (b) cause such insurance to be (i) the primary coverage without any right of contribution from any other insurance held by the other Party to the extent of the
insured Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder, and (ii) written and endorsed to include waivers of all subrogation rights of the insurers against Midstream Co and its Group (in the case of Producer’s insurance) or Producer and
its Group (in the case of Midstream Co’s insurance). Unless Producer is Original Producer, Producer shall also cause the insurance carried and maintained by it pursuant to this Section 15.4 to be endorsed to name Midstream Co and
its Group as additional insureds or provide blanket additional insured status that covers Midstream Co and its Group as additional insureds, except in the case of worker’s compensation insurance. Any insurance provided by OpCo on behalf of
Midstream Co that comports with this Section 15.4 shall be deemed to satisfy these requirements. 
 Article 16 

Assignment 
 Section 16.1
Assignment of Rights and Obligations under this Agreement. 
 (a) Assignment. Except as specifically otherwise provided in
this Agreement, no Party shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part) to another Person except with the prior consent of Midstream Co (in the case of an assignment by Producer) or Producer (in
the case of an assignment by Midstream Co), which consent may be withheld at such Party’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Producer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person to whom Producer assigns
or transfers an interest in any of the Dedicated Properties insofar as this Agreement relates to such Dedicated Properties without the consent of Midstream Co; provided that (A) such Person assumes in writing the obligations of Producer under
this Agreement insofar as it relates to the portion of the Dedicated Properties so assigned or transferred, such writing shall take the form of an Agreement Addendum, executed by the applicable Midstream Co and the Producer Assignee (and others, if
appropriate) and such writing shall be recorded in the real property records of the counties in which the Dedication Area is located, (B) such assignment is made subject to this Agreement, (C) if such assignment or transfer is made to an
Affiliate of Producer, the Original Producer shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Agreement, and (D) if such transfer or assignment is to a Producer Assignee (a “Third Party 


  
 Texas Crude Oil
Gathering Agreement 
 - 46 - 









 
Assignment”): (1) the Original Producer shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Dedicated Properties so assigned or transferred,
(2) at least thirty (30) Days prior to the closing date of the Third Party Assignment (or, if the period between signing and closing is less than thirty (30) Days, as early as possible and in no event less than two Business Days prior to the
closing of the Third Party Assignment), Producer shall cause the proposed Producer Assignee to deliver an updated Development Report to Midstream Co and (3) prior to or on the closing date of the Third Party Assignment, the Producer Assignee
shall deliver to Midstream Co (x) a copy of the writing pursuant to which the Third Party Assignment is occurring, and (y) documentation of any Conflicting Dedication affecting any Product of the Producer Assignee that would otherwise be
considered Dedicated Production. 
 (b) Notice; Binding Effect. Within 30 Days prior to the date of execution of a permitted
assignment by Producer, Producer shall give Midstream Co notice of any assignment of this Agreement or Dedicated Properties. Midstream Co shall give Producer written notice of any assignment of this Agreement within 30 Days after the date of
execution of such permitted assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Parties. Any attempted assignment made without compliance with the provisions
set forth in this Section 16.1 shall be null and void ab initio. 
 (c) Releases not Assignments. Any release of
any of the Dedicated Properties from the Dedications pursuant to Section 2.4 shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of such Dedicated Properties for the purposes of this Article 16. 

Section 16.2 Pre-Approved Assignments. 

(a) Each Party shall have the right without the prior consent of the others to (i) mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise impress a lien
or security interest upon its rights and interest in and to this Agreement, and (ii) make a transfer pursuant to any security interest arrangement described in (i) above, including any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure and any assignment from the
holder of such security interest to another Person. 
 (b) Original Producer (but not any subsequent Producer) may Transfer Dedicated
Properties free of the terms, conditions and obligations of this Agreement in a Transfer: 
 (i) where such Transfer is an
exchange of undeveloped Dedicated Properties (the “Outbound Acreage”) for properties of a Third Party located in the Dedication Area, which such properties become subject to the Dedications under this Agreement; provided that
Producer shall reimburse Midstream Co in full for all actual costs and expenses incurred by Midstream Co to install, build, construct, or otherwise place into service infrastructure for the Outbound Acreage, so long as Midstream Co had informed
Producer of its intention to install, build, construct or otherwise place into service the applicable infrastructure by inclusion of the same in a System Plan delivered prior to the closing of the applicable Transfer; or 

(ii) where such Transfer (x) is not of the type described in Section 16.2(b)(i), (y) pertains solely to Dedicated
Properties outside of the boundary shown on Annex A to Midstream Addendum 07, and (z) would not cause the number of Net Acres of Dedicated 

  
 Texas Crude Oil
Gathering Agreement 
 - 47 - 









 
Properties Transferred pursuant to this Section 16.2(b)(ii) during the Term of this Agreement, on an aggregate basis, to exceed 3,500 Net Acres. Original Producer shall be responsible
for tracking the total acreage sold under this Section 16.2(b)(ii) and the number of Net Acres Transferred beginning on the Effective Date and continuing through the end of the Term and shall, upon request of Midstream Co, provide
evidence supporting Original Producer’s calculation thereof. 
 Section 16.3 Change of Control. Except as provided in
Section 16.1, nothing in this Article 16 shall prevent Producer’s members or owners from transferring their respective interests (whether equity or otherwise and whether in whole or in part) in Producer and nothing in this
Article 16 shall prevent Midstream Co’s members or owners from transferring their respective interests (whether equity or otherwise and whether in whole or in part) in Midstream Co. However, if a change of control of a Party gives rise
to a reasonable basis for insecurity on the part of the other Party, such change of control may be the basis for a request of Adequate Assurance of Performance. Each member or owner of Producer or Midstream Co, as applicable, shall have the
right to assign and transfer such member’s or owner’s interests (whether equity or otherwise and whether in whole or in part) in Producer or Midstream Co, as applicable, without restriction contained in this Agreement. 

Article 17 
 Other
Provisions 
 Section 17.1 Relationship of the Parties. The execution and delivery of an Agreement Addendum shall create a
binding agreement between the Parties signatory thereto consisting of the terms set forth in such Agreement Addendum together with the terms set forth in these Agreement Terms and Conditions. The signatories of one Agreement Addendum shall not
be bound to or otherwise in privity of contract with the signatories of any other Agreement Addendum, and the execution and delivery of each Agreement Addendum shall form a separate and distinct contract. This Agreement shall not be deemed or
construed to create, a partnership, joint venture or association or a trust between Producer and Midstream Co or the persons party to any other Agreement Addendum. This Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to authorize any Party to act as
an agent, servant or employee for any other Party for any purpose whatsoever except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement. In their relations with each other under this Agreement, the Parties shall not be considered fiduciaries. 

Section 17.2 Notices. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable provision, all notices, consents, approvals, requests, and
other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered personally, or sent by bonded overnight courier, mailed by U.S. Express Mail or by certified or registered United States Mail with all
postage fully prepaid, return receipt requested, or, except in the case of notices of breach or default, sent by electronic mail (including with a PDF of the notice or other communication attached), in each case, addressed (i) if to Producer, at the
address set forth on the applicable Agreement Addendum and (ii) if to Midstream Co, at the address set forth on the applicable Agreement Addendum; provided that in the case of any notice by electronic mail, such notice is confirmed by
communication via another method permitted by this Section 17.2. Any notice, consent, approval, request, or other communication (“Communications”) given in accordance herewith shall be deemed to have been given when (a)
actually received or rejected by the

 - 48 - 









 
addressee in person or by courier, (b) (reserved), or (c) actually received or rejected by the addressee upon delivery by overnight courier or United States Mail, as shown in the
tracking report or return receipt, as applicable. Communications may not be transmitted by electronic mail, except for ordinary course business communications that shall be deemed to be received, if transmitted during normal business hours on
such Business Day, or if transmitted after normal business hours, on the next Business Day. Any Person may change their contact information for notice by giving notice to the other Party in the manner provided in this Section 17.2. 

Section 17.3 Entire Agreement; Conflicts. This Agreement (consisting of these Agreement Terms and Conditions and the applicable
Agreement Addendum) constitutes the entire agreement of Producer and Midstream Co pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, of Producer and
Midstream Co pertaining to the subject matter hereof. There are no warranties, representations, or other agreements between Producer and Midstream Co relating to the subject matter hereof except as specifically set forth in this Agreement,
including the exhibits hereto, and no Party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise, inducement, or statements of intention not so set forth. 

Section 17.4 Waivers; Rights Cumulative. Any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof may be waived only by a written
instrument executed by or on behalf of the Person waiving compliance. No course of dealing on the part of any Party, or their respective officers, employees, agents, or representatives, nor any failure by a Party to exercise any of its rights
under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or affect in any way the right of such Party at a later time to enforce the performance of such provision. No waiver by any Party of any condition, or any breach of any term or covenant
contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of any breach of any other term or
covenant. The rights of Produce and Midstream Co under this Agreement shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude the exercise of any other right. 

Section 17.5 Amendment. 

(a) This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed (except as otherwise set forth in this Section 17.5)
by Producer and Midstream Co and expressly identified as an amendment or modification. 
 (b) In the event of a conflict between (i) these
Agreement Terms and Conditions or any exhibit to this agreement, on the one hand, and (ii) an applicable Agreement Addendum, on the other, the applicable Agreement Addendum shall control. 

Section 17.6 Governing Law; Arbitration. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State,
excluding any conflicts of law rule or principle that might refer construction of such provisions to the laws of another jurisdiction. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be finally settled by
arbitration in accordance with the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration then in effect (the “Rules”) by a sole arbitrator appointed in accordance


  
 Texas Crude Oil
Gathering Agreement 
 - 49 - 









 
with the Rules. The arbitrator is not empowered to award consequential, indirect, special, punitive or exemplary damages, and each Party irrevocably waives any damages in excess of actual
damages. Arbitration shall be held in the English language in the State, and the decision of the arbitration panel shall include a statement of the reasons for such decision, and the award shall be final and binding on Producer and Midstream
Co. Awards shall be final and binding on Producer and Midstream Co from the date they are made and judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State, excluding any
conflicts of law rule or principle that might refer construction of such provisions to the laws of another jurisdiction. 
 Section 17.7
Parties in Interest. Except for parties indemnified hereunder, nothing in this Agreement shall entitle any Person other than the Parties to any claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind. 

Section 17.8 Preparation of Agreement. The Parties and their respective counsel participated in the preparation of this
Agreement. In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, no presumption shall arise based on the identity of the draftsman of this Agreement. 

Section 17.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by
any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any
adverse manner to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, Producer and Midstream Co, as applicable, shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to
effect the original intent of Producer and Midstream Co as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible. A ruling of invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability as to one Agreement shall only be applicable to that Agreement, not all the Agreements covered by these Agreement Terms and Conditions. 

Section 17.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall
be deemed to be an original instrument, but all of such counterparts shall constitute for all purposes one agreement. Any signature hereto delivered by a Party by electronic mail shall be deemed an original signature hereto; provided that the
originals of any such electronically provided signatures shall be provided by the signatory, if requested by the other Party within a week of exchanging signatures. 

Section 17.11 Confidentiality. All data and information exchanged by the Parties (other than the terms and conditions of this
Agreement) and all pricing terms shall be maintained in strict and absolute confidence and no Party shall disclose, without the prior consent of the other Parties, any such data, information or pricing terms unless the release thereof is required by
Law (including any requirement associated with an elective filing with a Governmental Authority) or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange on which any securities of the Parties or any Affiliates thereof are traded. Nothing in this
Agreement shall prohibit the Parties from disclosing whatever information in such manner as may be required by Applicable Law; nor shall any Party be prohibited by the terms hereof from disclosing information acquired under this Agreement to any
financial institution or investors providing or proposing financing to a Party or

to any Person proposing to purchase the equity in any Party or the assets owned by any Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions in this Section 17.11 will not apply to
data or information that (i) is in the possession of the Person receiving such information prior to disclosure by the other Party, (ii) is or becomes known to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or
(iii) becomes available to a Party a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other Party, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other fiduciary obligations of confidentiality to, the
other Party. This Section will survive any termination of this Agreement for a period of 24 Months from the end of the Year in which the date of such termination occurred.
