2.3 Indemnification Procedures. 

(a) The Indemnified Party agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for
indemnification under this Article II, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim. 

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims
brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification under this Article II, including the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such claim or any
matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement for only the payment of money shall be entered into without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless it includes a full release of the Indemnified
Party from such claim; provided, further, that no such settlement containing any form of injunctive or similar relief shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
delayed or withheld. 
 (c) The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner with the
Indemnifying Party with respect to all aspects of the defense of and pursuit of any counterclaims relating to any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article II, including the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any
correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the 

  
 9 








 
Indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense and counterclaims (provided, that the Indemnified Party has an opportunity to review the use of its name and does not
reasonably object to such use), the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense and counterclaims, the making available
to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Party and the granting to the Indemnifying Party of reasonable access rights to the properties and facilities of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection
therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by
the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 2.3. The obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be construed as imposing upon the
Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims and pursuit of any counterclaims with respect to any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article II; provided,
however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense and counterclaims. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified
Party informed as to the status of any such defense or counterclaim, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense and counterclaims so long as the Indemnified Party is still seeking indemnification
hereunder. 
 (d) In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Party, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental insurance
premium that becomes due and payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such claim and (ii) all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons. 

2.4 Limitations Regarding Indemnification. 

(a) CONE Gathering shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Group Member under this Agreement until such time as the
total aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Partnership Group for such Losses exceeds $500,000 (the “Deductible”), at which time CONE Gathering shall be obligated to indemnify the Partnership Group for the amount of such Losses
in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that, with respect to any Losses incurred by any Group Member attributable to those matters identified on Schedule B, the Deductible shall be zero. 

(b) None of the Partnership, DevCo I LP, DevCo II LP or DevCo III LP shall be obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless CONE Gathering
under Section 2.2(a), Section 2.2(b), Section 2.2(c) and Section 2.2(d), respectively, of this Agreement until such time as the total aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the CONE Gathering Group for
such Losses exceeds the Deductible, at which time the Partnership, DevCo I LP, DevCo II LP or DevCo III LP, as applicable, shall be obligated to indemnify CONE Gathering for the amount of such Losses in excess of the Deductible. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Deductible shall apply and be calculated separately for each of the Partnership, DevCo I LP, DevCo II LP and DevCo III 

  
 10 








 
LP, and indemnifiable Losses attributable to the Partnership, DevCo I LP, DevCo II LP and DevCo III LP shall not be aggregated for purposes of calculating the Deductible for each such entity.

 (c) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) there is no monetary cap on the amount of indemnity coverage provided by any Indemnifying Party
under this Article II and (ii) the obligation of CONE Gathering to indemnify any Group Member under this Agreement shall be limited to the extent of the Losses incurred by the Partnership with respect to its direct or indirect ownership
interest in such Group Member. 
 (d) The indemnities set forth in Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(b),
Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(d), Section 2.1(e) and Section 2.1(f) shall terminate on the third anniversary of the Closing Date. The indemnities set forth in Section 2.1(g) shall terminate
on the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date. The indemnities set forth in Section 2.2 shall survive the Closing without time limit, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no termination of
any bona fide claim asserted pursuant to the indemnities in Section 2.1 prior to the date of termination for such indemnity. 

(e) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION HEREUNDER COVER OR INCLUDE
CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS (INCLUDING ANY DIMINUTION IN VALUE OF ANY PARTY’S RESPECTIVE INVESTMENT IN THE PARTNERSHIP) SUFFERED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BY ANY OTHER
PARTY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT AS A REIMBURSEMENT FOR ANY SUCH DAMAGES AS ARE PAID TO A GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY OR OTHER THIRD PARTY. 

2.5 Express Negligence. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE INDEMNIFICATION, RELEASE, ASSUMPTION AND WAIVER PROVISIONS PROVIDED
FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE LIABILITIES IN QUESTION ARISE AS A RESULT OF THE STRICT LIABILITY OR NEGLIGENCE (JOINT, SEVERAL, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, SOLE OR CONCURRENT) OF OR BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY. THE PARTIES

 ARTICLE III 

SERVICES; REIMBURSEMENT 

3.1 General and Administrative Services. 

(a) Each of the Sponsors agrees to provide, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to provide, to the General Partner, for the Partnership
Group’s benefit, the general and administrative services that have been traditionally provided in connection with the ownership and operation of the Assets, which consist of the services set forth on Schedule C (the “General and
Administrative Services”). 
 (b) Absent the written agreement of the Parties to the contrary, the Parties agree that the General
and Administrative Services will be received by the General Partner, for the benefit of the Partnership Group, at the General Partner’s principal place of business. 

(c) The Parties acknowledge that the costs and expenses of General and Administrative Services will be allocated among the Group Members
(which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes DevCo I LP, DevCo II LP and DevCo III LP) based on any reasonable allocation methodology as determined by the Sponsor providing such General and Administrative Services. 

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the fees, costs and expenses subject to this Article III shall
be in addition to, and not in duplication of, any amounts owed to CONSOL by the Partnership pursuant to the Operational Services Agreement. 

3.2 Administrative Fee. 

(a) As consideration for CONSOL’s and its Affiliates’ provision of the General and Administrative Services, the Partnership Group
will pay to CONSOL an annual fee that will reflect the costs incurred by CONSOL and its Affiliates in providing such General and Administrative Services (other than those costs for which CONSOL and its Affiliates are entitled to reimbursement
pursuant to Section 3.3), as determined in good faith by CONSOL in accordance with Schedule C (the “CNX Administrative Fee”). As consideration for Noble’s and its Affiliates’ provision of the General and
Administrative Services, the Partnership Group will pay to Noble an annual fee that will reflect the costs incurred by Noble and its Affiliates in providing such General and Administrative Services (other than those costs for which Noble and its
Affiliates are entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.3), as determined in good faith by Noble in accordance with Schedule C (the “NBL Administrative Fee” and, together with the CNX Administrative Fee,
the “Administrative Fee”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is the intent of the Parties that the General and Administrative Services be provided based on an arm’s-length standard and that each of the CNX
Administrative Fee and the NBL Administrative Fee is intended to reflect such standard. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Fee will cover the fully burdened cost of the General and
Administrative Services provided by the Sponsors and their Affiliates to the 

  
 12 








 
Partnership Group, as well as any third-party costs actually incurred by the Sponsors and their Affiliates on behalf of the Partnership Group in providing such General and Administrative Services
(other than those costs for which the Sponsors and their Affiliates are entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.3), including the following: 

(i) the compensation and employee benefits of employees of the Sponsors or their Affiliates (and any employment, payroll or
similar taxes related thereto), to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform General and Administrative Services for the Partnership Group’s benefit. With respect to employees that do not devote all of their business time to
the Partnership Group, such compensation and employee benefits (and any withholding or payroll taxes related thereto) shall be allocated to the Partnership Group based on the annual weighted average of time spent and number of employees devoting
services to the Partnership Group; 
 (ii) any expenses incurred or payments made by the Sponsors or their Affiliates on
behalf of the Partnership Group for insurance coverage with respect to the Assets or the business of the Partnership Group; 

(iii) all expenses and expenditures incurred by the Sponsors or their Affiliates on behalf of the Partnership Group as a result
of the Partnership becoming and continuing as a publicly traded entity, including costs associated with the following: annual, quarterly and current reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission; tax return and Schedule K-1 preparation and
distribution; Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance; listing on the New York Stock Exchange; independent auditor fees; legal fees; investor relations expenses; transfer agent and registrar fees; outside director fees; and insurance expenses; and 

(iv) all sales, use, excise, value added or similar taxes, if any, that may be applicable from time to time with respect to the
General and Administrative Services provided by the Sponsors and their Affiliates to the Partnership Group pursuant to Section 3.1. 

(b) As part of the Administrative Fee, the Partnership Group shall pay to each of the Sponsors a fixed fee, in the amount shown on Schedule
C, in consideration for the services of certain employees of such Sponsor and its Affiliates in their capacities as officers of the General Partner and the Group Members. 

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the CNX Administrative Fee and/or the NBL Administrative Fee may change each calendar year, as
determined by the applicable Sponsor in good faith, to accurately reflect the degree and extent of the General and Administrative Services provided to the Partnership Group by such Sponsor and may be adjusted to reflect, among other things, the
contribution, acquisition or disposition of assets to or by the Partnership Group or to reflect any change in the cost of providing General and Administrative Services to the Partnership Group due to changes in any law, rule or regulation applicable
to the Sponsors and their Affiliates or the Partnership Group, including any interpretation of such laws, rules or regulations. 

  
 13 








 (d) On or prior to January 1 of each calendar year during the term of this Agreement, each
of CONSOL and Noble will notify the General Partner of the estimated amount of the CNX Administrative Fee and Noble Administrative Fee, respectively (including, in each case, both the fixed and variable portions of such fee as described in
Schedule C), to be paid by the Partnership Group for such calendar year. For the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, such estimate shall be made on or prior to the Closing Date and shall pertain only to the remainder of such
calendar year. Commencing with the first full month following the Closing Date, each of the CNX Administrative Fee and the Noble Administrative Fee shall be invoiced and paid as follows: 

(i) Within 20 days following the end of each month during the term of this Agreement, each of CONSOL and Noble will submit to
the Partnership Group an invoice of the amounts due for such month for the CNX Administrative Fee and the Noble Administrative Fee, respectively. Each invoice will contain reasonably satisfactory support of such amounts and such other supporting
detail as the General Partner may reasonably require. 
 (ii) The Partnership Group will pay the CNX Administrative Fee and
the NBL Administrative Fee within 10 days after the receipt of the invoice therefor. The Partnership Group shall not offset any amounts owing to it by the Sponsors or any of their Affiliates against the Administrative Fee payable hereunder. 

3.3 Reimbursement of General and Administrative Expenses. In addition to the Administrative Fee payable under Section 3.2,
the Partnership Group will reimburse the Sponsors and their Affiliates on a monthly basis for any additional out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by the Sponsors and their Affiliates in providing the General and Administrative
Services, as well as any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership Group, including any employment, payroll or similar taxes paid by the Sponsors and their Affiliates in connection with any long-term incentive plan (or
similar compensation plan) of the General Partner or the Partnership Group. 
 ARTICLE IV 

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER 
 4.1
Right of First Offer to Purchase Certain Assets. 
 (a) CONE Gathering hereby grants to the Partnership a right of first
offer, exercisable during the ROFO Period, to purchase all or any part of the ROFO Assets to the extent that CONE Gathering proposes to Transfer all or any part of any ROFO Asset; provided, however, that CONE Gathering may Transfer all or any
part of any ROFO Asset to a member of the CONE Gathering Group that agrees in writing that such ROFO Asset remains subject to the provisions of this Article IV and such CONE Gathering Group member assumes the obligations of CONE Gathering
under this Article IV with respect to such ROFO Asset, and such Transfer shall not be subject to the Partnership Group’s right of first offer.  

(b) The Parties acknowledge that any Transfer of all or any part of any ROFO Asset pursuant to the Partnership’s right of first offer is
subject to the terms of all existing agreements 

  
 14 








 
with respect to the ROFO Assets and shall be subject to and conditioned on the obtaining of any and all necessary consents of securityholders, Governmental Authorities, lenders or other third
parties; provided, however, that CONE Gathering hereby represents and warrants that, to its knowledge after reasonable investigation, there are no terms in such agreements that would materially impair the rights granted to the
Partnership Group pursuant to this Article IV with respect to any ROFO Asset. 
 4.2 Procedures. 

(a) If CONE Gathering proposes to Transfer all or any part of any ROFO Asset (other than to a CONE Gathering Group member in accordance with
Section 4.1(a)) during the ROFO Period (a “Proposed Transaction”), CONE Gathering shall, prior to entering into any such Proposed Transaction, first give notice in writing to the Partnership (the “ROFO
Notice”) of its intention to enter into such Proposed Transaction. The ROFO Notice shall include any material terms, conditions and details that would be necessary for the Partnership to make a responsive offer to enter into the Proposed
Transaction with CONE Gathering, which terms, conditions and details shall at a minimum include any terms, conditions or details that CONE Gathering would propose to provide to non-Affiliates in connection with the Proposed Transaction. If the
Partnership determines to purchase the ROFO Assets, the Partnership shall have 60 days following receipt of the ROFO Notice to propose an offer to enter into the Proposed Transaction with CONE Gathering (the “ROFO Response”). The
ROFO Response shall set forth the terms and conditions (including the purchase price the Partnership proposes to pay for the ROFO Asset and the other terms of the purchase) pursuant to which the Partnership would be willing to enter into a binding
agreement for the Proposed Transaction. If no ROFO Response is delivered by the Partnership within such 60-day period, then the Partnership shall be deemed to have waived its right of first offer with respect to such ROFO Asset, subject to
Section 4.2(c). 
 (b) Unless the ROFO Response is rejected pursuant to written notice delivered by CONE Gathering to the
Partnership within 60 days of the delivery to CONE Gathering of the ROFO Response, such ROFO Response shall be deemed to have been accepted by CONE Gathering, and CONE Gathering shall enter into an agreement with the Partnership providing for the
consummation of the Proposed Transaction upon the terms set forth in the ROFO Response. Unless CONE Gathering and the Partnership otherwise agree, the terms of the purchase and sale agreement will include the following: 

(i) the Partnership will deliver the agreed purchase price (in cash, Partnership Interests, an interest-bearing promissory note
or any combination thereof); 
 (ii) the closing date for the purchase of the ROFO Asset shall occur no later than 180 days
following receipt by CONE Gathering of the ROFO Response pursuant to Section 4.2(a); 
 (iii) each of CONE
Gathering and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to effectuate the consummation of any transactions contemplated by this
Section 4.2(b), including causing its respective Affiliates to execute, deliver and perform all documents, notices, amendments, certificates, instruments and consents required in connection therewith; and 

(iv) neither CONE Gathering nor the Partnership shall have any obligation to consummate the Proposed Transaction if any consent
referred to in Section 4.1(b) has not been obtained. 

  
 15 








 (c) If the Partnership has not timely delivered a ROFO Response as specified above with respect
to a Proposed Transaction that is subject to a ROFO Notice, CONE Gathering shall be free to enter into a Proposed Transaction with any third party on terms and conditions no more favorable to such third party than those set forth in the ROFO Notice.
If CONE Gathering rejects a ROFO Response with respect to any Proposed Transaction, CONE Gathering shall be free to enter into a Proposed Transaction with any third party (i) on terms and conditions (excluding those relating to price) that are
not more favorable in the aggregate to such third party than those proposed in respect of the Partnership Group in the ROFO Response and (ii) at a price equal to no less than 100% of the price offered by the Partnership in the ROFO Response to
CONE Gathering. 
 (d) The Partnership can assign its rights and obligations under this Article IV to any Group Member. 

ARTICLE V 
 MISCELLANEOUS

 5.1 Confidentiality. 

(a) From and after the Closing Date, each Party (each, a “Receiving Party”) in possession of another Party’s (each, a
“Disclosing Party”) Confidential Information shall (i) hold, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, and other representatives (each, a

Party’s confidential and proprietary information, (ii) not use such Confidential Information, except as expressly permitted by such Disclosing Party and (iii) not release or disclose such Confidential Information to any other Person,

Information of a Disclosing Party by a Governmental Authority or applicable law, or is required to disclose such Confidential Information pursuant to the listing standards of any applicable national securities exchange on which the Receiving
Party’s securities are listed or quoted, the Receiving Party shall promptly advise, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Disclosing Party of such requirement or obligation to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the Receiving
Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective in order that, where possible, the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the Disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the


  
 16 








 
circumstances. The Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it is required or obligated to disclose and shall cooperate with
the Disclosing Party in allowing the Disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief. 
 (c) Each Party acknowledges that a
Disclosing Party would not have an adequate remedy at law for the breach by a Receiving Party of any one or more of the covenants contained in this Section 5.1 and agrees that, in the event of such breach, the Disclosing Party may, in
addition to the other remedies that may be available to it, apply to a court for an injunction to prevent breaches of this Section 5.1 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Section 5.1. Notwithstanding

Parties to the dispute or claim. In connection with any mediation pursuant to this Section 5.2, the mediator shall be jointly appointed by the Parties to the dispute or claim and the mediation shall be conducted in Houston, Texas unless

Section 5.2(b), to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Party agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this
