Terms, is referred to as this “Contract.” 
  

	1.	QUANTITY OF GAS, DEDICATION, AND GATHERING SYSTEM. 

  

	 	1.1	Dedication Area, Dedicated Properties, Dedicated Gas, and Dedicated Wells. 


 

	 	(a)	“Dedication Area” means each of the geographic areas described in Exhibit B. 


 

	 	(b)	“Dedicated Properties” means all interests of Producers and their Affiliates (and their successors and assigns) in oil, gas, or mineral leases,
contractual agreements, or other legal rights, insofar, and only insofar, as such interests (i) cover lands located within the Dedication Area and (ii) relate to the Applicable Formations, whether owned on the Effective Date or acquired
after the Effective Date, save and except as reserved and excepted under Section 1.2 (Reservations from Dedication) of this Base Contract. 


 

	 	(c)	“Dedicated Gas” means all Gas owned or Controlled by Producers or their Affiliates and produced from the Dedicated Properties through Dedicated Wells,
save and except Gas reserved and excepted under Section 1.2 (Reservations from Dedication) of this Base Contract. If for any reason the contractual right of Producers or any of their Affiliates to Control any such Gas terminates,
expires, or is suspended (as used in this Section 1.1(c), “Subject Gas”), then the Subject Gas will cease to constitute Dedicated Gas upon such termination or expiration and during any period of suspension.


  

	 	(d)	“Dedicated Wells” means all oil and gas wells, whether existing on or drilled after or acquired after the Effective Date, located on the surface of the
lands within the Dedication Area, and from which Producers or their Affiliates have the right to produce Gas from the Dedicated Properties, including the oil and gas wells listed in Exhibit B. 


 

	 	1.2	Reservations From Dedication. The following are reserved and excepted from Dedicated Properties and Dedicated Gas: 


 

	 	(a)	Gas used upstream of the Receipt Points that a reasonable and prudent operator would deem useful or necessary to develop Dedicated Wells on the Dedicated Properties and
Gas that any Producer is expressly required to deliver under oil and gas leases, contractual agreements or other legal rights under which the Dedicated Gas is produced, but not including Gas used for secondary recovery, tertiary recovery or other
similar enhanced oil recovery operations, provided that, Producers (i) will be and are obligated under this Contract to promptly provide notice of Dedicated Wells pursuant to Section 2.5(a) of the General Terms and to
cooperate with Gatherer diligently and in good faith to allow Gatherer to connect the Dedicated Wells to the System and (ii) will only flare Gas from a Dedicated Well once connected to the System to remedy emergency situations;

HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**). 

 


	 	(b)	Dedicated Properties and Gas that have been dedicated pursuant to a gathering agreement with a third party prior to the Effective Date and listed on Exhibit
B-1, until such prior dedication expires or terminates; 

  

	 	(c)	Dedicated Properties and Gas from lands, leases, or wells within the Dedication Area acquired after the Effective Date from a Person (other than an Affiliate of
Producers) that are subject to dedication under a third party non-Affiliate gathering agreement that was made prior to the date of acquisition, until such prior dedication expires or terminates; 


 

	 	(d)	Gas from wells (i) that are not connected to a Receipt Point on the Effective Date, (ii) that are not operated by any of the Producers or any of their
Affiliates, and (iii) in which the working interests of Producers and their Affiliates in such wells, taken together with any working interests in such wells that were acquired by a Person, directly or indirectly (whether by asset sale, stock
sale, merger, or otherwise), from Producers or their Affiliates after the date hereof, is, in the aggregate, less than **%; and 

  

	 	(e)	all rights of Producers and their Affiliates in the Dedicated Properties to substances other than Gas. 


 

	 	1.3	Producers’ Dedication and Covenants. Producers: 

  

	 	(a)	exclusively dedicate and commit to the performance of this Contract the Dedicated Properties and the Dedicated Gas;

HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**). 

 


	 	1.4	Certain Agreements. If Producers are required under the Participation Agreement dated **, among certain of the Producers, **
(“Participant”) and others, to assign to Participant an undivided interest in Dedicated Properties acquired after the Effective Date, Producers and their Affiliates may assign to Participant up to **% of the undivided interest
acquired by Producers and their Affiliates in those Dedicated Properties. If Participant actually acquires such undivided interest under the Participation Agreement within ** Days of the date on which Producers acquired them, the assigned interest
will be released from this Contract, including the dedication under Section 1 of this Base Contract, and Section 1.3(f) of this Base Contract will not apply to the assignment. 


 

	 	1.5	Quantity. Each of the Producers agrees to deliver to Gatherer all of Producer’s Dedicated Gas. Producers reserve all processing rights to the
Dedicated Gas. 

  

	 	1.6	Minimum Volume Commitment. 

  

	 	(a)	Producers’ Obligation. Producers agree to deliver, in each Year of the MVC Period, a volume of Dedicated Gas no less than the MVC for the applicable
Year. 

  

	 	(b)	Deficit Volumes. If Annual Volumes in any Year of the MVC Period are less than the Adjusted MVC for that Year, then Producers will pay Gatherer the lesser
of (i) the Contract Fee multiplied by the difference between the Adjusted MVC and the Annual Volumes for that Year or (ii) the amount, if any, by which the Reserved Capacity multiplied by the Contract Fee exceeds total revenue from the
System before taking into account any payment under this Section 1.6(b) (“MVC Deficiency Payment”). 

  

	 	(c)	Adjusted MVC. The “Adjusted MVC” will be determined for each Year in the MVC Period, solely for purposes of the calculation under
Section 1.6(b) of the Base Contract, as follows: for each Year the MVC will be, without duplication, 

  

	 	(i)	decreased by (w) any Third Party Credit Volume delivered in the Year, (x) any Maintenance Suspension Volume not delivered in the Year, (y) any
Curtailed Volume not delivered in the Year, and (z) any Delayed Connection Volume or Force Majeure Volume not delivered in the Year and 

  

	 	(ii)	increased by any Delayed Connection Volume and Force Majeure Volume that previously had been deducted under clause (i)(z); provided, however, that the
amount of Force Majeure Volume that increases the MVC in any Year under this Section 1.6(c)(ii) will not exceed **% of the MVC for that Year, and provided further that any increase to the MVC in any Year under this
Section 1.6(c)(ii) for Delayed Connection Volume from a prior Year shall be limited in order to reasonably reflect the change in the production curve of the Additional Well affected by the delay resulting from shifting production from
the Year in which the connection was to occur but for the delay, to a subsequent Year. 

  

	 	(d)	 Post MVC Treatment. Any Force Majeure Volume not credited pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(ii) during a Year because of the **%
limit will continue to be credited in subsequent Years in a like manner up to the **% limit for each Year and any Delayed Connection Volume not credited pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(ii) during a Year because of the limit due to shifting
production will continue to be credited in subsequent Years in a like manner (limited in order to take into account the shifted production period); provided, however that if Producers deliver volume in excess of the Adjusted MVC in a Year,
any Delayed Connection Volume or Force Majeure Volume remaining to be credited under Section 1.6(c)(ii) will be reduced by the amount of the excess, without duplication. After

the MVC Period, any remaining Delayed Connection Volume or Force Majeure Volume that has not yet been credited to the MVC pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(ii) and not reduced by volumes of
gas delivered in excess of the Adjusted MVC pursuant to this Section 1.6(d) will be added to the Base Volume Forecast in the first Year following the expiration of the MVC Period (divided evenly between the twelve (12) Monthly
Volumes). 

  

	 	(e)	No Suspension. Producer’s obligation to deliver the MVC, or, in the alternative, to pay the MVC Deficiency Payment, will not be excused for any
reason (although the MVC may be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.5 (Release of Reserved Capacity) of the Base Contract); provided that, Producer’s liability for failure to deliver the MVC will be limited solely to the
payment of the MVC Deficiency Payment. 

  

	 	1.7	System. “System” means the gathering or pipeline system and related facilities owned and operated by Gatherer, or its designee, and used
to perform the Services, which System is generally known as the Mansfield System, in or near Caddo, DeSoto, Red River, and Sabine Parishes, Louisiana and Shelby County, Texas (“Mansfield System”) and the Football System in
Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, as the System now exists and as modified or extended. The “North DeSoto System” means that part of the Mansfield System that is designed to gather sweet gas, located in the northern half of DeSoto
Parish and the “Converse System” means that part of the Mansfield System designed to gather sour gas, located in the southern half of DeSoto Parish and the northern half of Sabine Parish. 


 

	2.	RECEIPT AND DELIVERY POINTS. 

  

	 	2.1	Receipt Points. Producers will deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Dedicated Gas to Gatherer at the upstream flanges of Gatherer’s metering
facilities located at or near the Dedicated Wells or other locations as described on Exhibit B (“Receipt Points”) at pressures sufficient to enter the System at each Receipt Point; provided that Producers will not be
required to install or maintain compression necessary to make deliveries under this Contract. Gatherer will from time to time add new Receipt Points (and revise Exhibit B accordingly) at the request of a Producer acting through CEMI or
its successor agent, subject to the terms of Section 2.5 (Additional Wells) of the General Terms. 

  

	 	2.2	Delivery Points. 

  

	 	(a)	Gatherer will deliver Equivalent Quantities of Gas to Producers to the Delivery Points on Exhibit B (“Delivery Points”).


  

	 	(b)	If and to the extent it is necessary to provide the Reserved Capacity, Gatherer will, at its cost and expense, expand existing Delivery Points.


  

	 	(c)	Gatherer also may from time to time add new Delivery Points, or expand the capacity of existing Delivery Points, at its cost and expense, and, if it does so, the new or
increased capacity in excess of the Reserved Capacity will be used and allocated by the Gatherer at its discretion. 

  

	 	(d)	 Producers may request that Gatherer expand an existing Delivery Point or add a new Delivery Point on the System, and if it is operationally feasible
for Gatherer to do so, then Gatherer will expand the existing Delivery Point or construct the new Delivery Point. Producers will reimburse Gatherer for the costs and expenses associated with (i) the expansion of an existing Delivery Point to
the extent the expansion is not otherwise required by Section 2.2(b) above and (ii) the construction of the interconnection and

facilities necessary for the new Delivery Point. Gatherer may expand an existing Delivery Point or construct a new Delivery Point with greater capacity than that requested by Producers, and, if
Gatherer does so, the additional increased capacity will be allocated by the Gatherer at its discretion and Gatherer and Producers will share in the costs and expenses associated with the expansion of an existing Delivery Point or construction of
the new Delivery Point in proportion to the capacity requested by each Party. Producers will be entitled to Priority 1 Service at any new or expanded Delivery Point in the proportion of the costs and expenses reimbursed to Gatherer for the
construction and interconnection of any new or expanded Delivery Point to the total costs of construction of the expanded or new Delivery Point, and, if Gatherer curtails Priority 1 Service at that Delivery Point, then Dedicated Gas will be
curtailed (a) in the case of a new Delivery Point, in the same proportion of costs and expenses paid by Producers relative to the total costs and expenses of that Delivery Point and (b) in the case of an expanded Delivery Point,
(i) in accordance with Section 5.6 as to the capacity for that Delivery Point immediately prior to the expansion and (ii) in the same proportion of costs and expenses paid by Producers relative to the total costs and expenses
of the expanded capacity of that Delivery Point. 

  

	 	(e)	Gatherer will operate all equipment necessary to effect deliveries to Downstream Transporter at the Delivery Points, unless otherwise approved by Producers, with such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld. 

  

	 	(f)	When new Delivery Points are added, Gatherer will revise Exhibit B to include the new Delivery Points. 


 

	3.	PRESSURE; UNIFORM RATES OF FLOW. 

  

	 	3.1	MAOP. Producers will not deliver, and Gatherer will not be required to accept, any Gas for which the delivery pressures exceed the maximum allowable
operating pressures for the System, which, as of the date of this Contract, is ** PSIG. Gatherer will notify Producers as soon as is reasonably practicable if the maximum allowable operating pressures for the System change and of the reason for the
change. Producers may dispute a change to the maximum allowable operating pressures by Gatherer. 

  

	 	3.2	Target Pressure. 

  

	 	(a)	Gatherer will endeavor to maintain pressure at the Receipt Points across the System at ** PSIG (“Target Pressure”). Gatherer will design all well pad
connections for Additional Wells to allow Dedicated Gas to flow from them at the Target Pressure at a maximum of ** MMCF/Day for each such pad, provided the System can support a pressure drop on the pad connection pipeline of ** PSIG per mile. If
Producers request a reduction in the Target Pressure, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to establish new Target Pressure or Pressures, with associated fees to be paid by Producers, and Gatherer will thereafter maintain pressure at the Receipt
Points across the System at the new Target Pressure or Pressures subject to the terms of the Parties’ negotiated agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	 The Parties recognize that the Target Pressure may increase on a System lateral where Gatherer connects one or more Additional Wells. Producers will
cooperate with Gatherer to manage the timing of connections to and deliveries of Gas from Additional Wells to the associated System lateral to minimize exceedances of the Target Pressure, and Gatherer will be excused from any liability to Producers
for pressure-related issues that arise as a result of Producers’ failure or inability to do so. Gatherer will cooperate

with Producers to manage the timing of connections to and deliveries of Gas from third party wells to the associated System lateral to minimize exceedances of the Target Pressure.


  

	 	3.3	Uniform Rates of Flow. The Parties recognize the desirability of maintaining a uniform rate of flow of Gas to the System over each twenty-four
(24) hour period of each Day throughout each Month. Producers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to regulate their producing schedules so that the Dedicated Gas will be made available to Gatherer’s System at as uniform a rate of
flow as is reasonably practicable throughout each Day and Month. 

  

	4.	SERVICES AND PRODUCERS’ RESERVED CAPACITY 

  

	 	4.1	 Services. Gatherer will connect the Dedicated Gas within the Dedication Area, accept it at each Receipt Point, dehydrate it, treat it for
H2S and CO2 as and to the extent specified in Section 5.1(b) of the
General Terms, compress it, and redeliver it each Day to the Delivery Points, all as set forth in this Contract (“Services”). 


  

	 	4.2	Commingling. Dedicated Gas will constitute part of the Gas supply in the System from all sources connected to it, and Gatherer has the right to commingle
Dedicated Gas with Gas owned by other Persons. 

  

	 	4.3	Sales of Drip Liquids. Producers acknowledge that certain reductions in volumes of Dedicated Gas will occur due to shrinkage from Drip Liquids in the
System, and such reductions attributable to Drip Liquids will be shared and allocated among Producers and other third parties whose Gas is gathered on the System in proportion to the C5+ constituents contained in the Gas delivered by each such
shipper on the System. Those allocations will be based on the most recent quality analysis available to Gatherer for the Gas. Producers will retain the right to all Drip Liquids collected on the System by Gatherer and allocated to Producers. To the
extent reasonably practicable, Gatherer will provide advance notice to Producers from time to time of the quantities of Drip Liquids collected on the System attributable to Dedicated Gas that are available for removal by Producers or their
contractor to allow up to 72 hours for Producers or their contractor to collect the available Drip Liquids. Upon receipt of notice from Gatherer, Producers will cause their Drip Liquids to be collected and removed from Gatherer’s tanks by the
date specified in Gatherer’s notice, at Producers’ sole cost, risk, and expense and if they do not, Gatherer will either contact Producers’ Drip Liquids purchaser directly to remove Producers’ Drip Liquids from Gatherer’s
tanks, or sell them to a third party and remit to Producers the proceeds from the sales, net of any reasonable costs incurred by Gatherer in connection with the removal and sale. Measurement of Producers’ allocated share of Drip Liquids will be
based on measurements made by Producers’ Drip Liquids purchaser. 

  

	5.	PRODUCERS’ RESERVED CAPACITY. 

  

	 	5.1	Producers’ Reserved Capacity. Producers will be entitled to daily Priority 1 Service on the System up to **% of the volumes shown in Exhibit
F (“Reserved Capacity”), as those volumes may be adjusted under Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5, divided by 365 (but calculated pro rata for 2012) (“Maximum Daily Quantity” or “MDQ”),
except that (i) Producers’ daily Priority 1 Service on the Converse System on any Day will be **% of the MDQ (“Converse MDQ”) and (ii) Producers’ daily Priority 1 Service for Dedicated Gas flowing on the 24-inch
pipeline segment connecting the Converse System to the North DeSoto System on any Day will be the amount, if any, by which ** MMCF exceeds the confirmed and flowing Dedicated Gas volumes on the North DeSoto System on that Day (“Cross-Flow
MDQ”). 

  

	 	5.2	 Additional Cross-Flow. If Producers’ volume forecast provided to Gatherer reasonably shows (consistent with Producers’ drilling
activity in the Dedication Area) that aggregate deliveries of

Dedicated Gas to Receipt Points on the North DeSoto and Converse Systems will exceed **/Day, then Gatherer, at Gatherer’s sole cost and expense, will commence and diligently complete
construction of a second 24-inch pipeline connecting the Converse System to the North DeSoto System. Upon completion of this second 24” pipeline, the Cross-Flow MDQ on each Day will be the amount, if any, by which ** MMCF exceeds the confirmed
and flowing Dedicated Gas volumes on the North DeSoto System on that Day. Producers will not pay a Capacity Surcharge on any increase in the Cross-Flow MDQ. 


 

	 	5.3	Additional Priority 1 Service. Producers may request in writing that Gatherer provide additional Priority 1 Service on the System above the MDQ (with a
corresponding increase in the Reserved Capacity) in increments of ** MMCF/Day for a minimum term of ** years. If the ** MMCF/Day incremental increase in the MDQ is in effect: 


 

	 	(a)	after the MVC Period and for Monthly Volumes below **% of the Base Volume Forecast, then, commencing at the end of the MVC Period, Producers will pay $**/MMBTU (in 2012
unescalated fees) on total Monthly Volume below **% of the Base Volume Forecast for each ** MMCF/Day incremental increase in the MDQ requested by Producers (“Capacity Surcharge”) or 


 

	 	(b)	during the MVC Period or after the MVC Period for Monthly Volumes above **% of the Base Volume Forecast, then the Parties will agree upon the incremental volume
commitment needed to justify the expansion without an increase in the Contract Fee. 

 Upon receipt of any request
for expansion under this Section 5.3 (and if Section 5.3(b) above is applicable, upon reaching agreement as provided in Section 5.3(b)), Gatherer will commence and diligently complete, at Gatherer’s sole cost and
expense, the construction and installation of the equipment and facilities necessary to provide such additional Priority 1 Service, including any additional capacity necessary at existing Delivery Points. This additional Priority 1 Service will
commence on, and the Capacity Surcharge will be incurred from, the first Day of the Month following the date on which Gatherer provides written notice to Producers that Gatherer has completed the construction and installation of these facilities and
equipment on the System. 
  

	 	5.4	Adjustments to Reserved Capacity. After the end of the MVC Period, the Reserved Capacity may be adjusted as follows: 


 

	 	(a)	If the quantity of Dedicated Gas delivered to the System in a Year is less than **% of the Reserved Capacity for that Year, then Gatherer, at its option, may elect to
reduce the Reserved Capacity for the remainder of the Initial Term by the same amount that the delivered quantity of Dedicated Gas is below **% of the Reserved Capacity in that Year divided by **%, with a corresponding reduction in the Base Volume
Forecast. 

  

	 	(b)	If the quantity of Dedicated Gas delivered to the System in a Year is greater than **% of the Reserved Capacity for that Year, then, to the extent Priority 1 Service is
available, Producers, at their option, may elect to increase the Reserved Capacity for the remainder of the Initial Term by the same amount that the delivered quantity of Dedicated Gas is above **% of the Reserved Capacity in that Year divided by
**%, with a corresponding increase in the Base Volume Forecast. 

  

	 	5.5	Release of Reserved Capacity. At any time, Gatherer may request that Producers release a portion of the Reserved Capacity. If Producers agree to do so,
then, during the term of the release, the MVC will be reduced by the product of the capacity Producers agree to release and the MVC Percentage (“MVC Reduction Amount”) and the Base Volume Forecast will be reduced by the amount of
capacity released by Producers. Producers will have no MVC Deficiency Payment obligation to Gatherer for the MVC Reduction Amount during the term of the release and the reduced Base Volume Forecast will be used to calculate the Contract Fee in
Section 6.1(b) during the term of the release.

 SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS
HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**). 

 


	 	5.6	Curtailment and Release. 

  

	 	(a)	Gatherer will not curtail Dedicated Gas up to the Cross-Flow MDQ on the 24-inch pipeline segment connecting the Converse System to the North DeSoto System until all
other shippers have been curtailed. Additionally, Gatherer will not curtail Dedicated Gas up to the MDQ or the Converse MDQ, as a result of having insufficient capacity on the System for all Priority 1 shippers caused by Gatherer subscribing
Priority 1 Service on the System to other shippers, and Gatherer will reasonably consider System capacity when subscribing third party shippers. Any curtailments of Priority 1 Service will be accomplished as follows (i) during the Month in
which curtailment begins, ratably based on each shipper’s most recent confirmed nomination for Priority 1 Gas prior to such curtailment (any new or increased nominations from such shipper on the curtailed System will not be accepted or
confirmed by Gatherer for the remainder of the Month during the curtailment), and (ii) if the curtailment continues into the next Month, then each such shipper’s share of capacity for each Month after the Month in which the curtailment
occurred on the System will be determined ratably based on each such shipper’s most recent confirmed nomination prior to the curtailment; provided that, if a new well that is capable of producing Gas dedicated to the System is connected
to the System after such curtailment and such shipper desires to deliver Gas from the new well into the System, then such shipper may make reasonable nominations for its share of Gas from the new well, and those nominations will be deemed to have
been made in the most recent confirmed nomination prior to the curtailment. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Dedicated Gas is interrupted or curtailed on the System for any reason, including suspension of Service pursuant to Sections 9.1 or 9.2 of the General
Terms, Gatherer will temporarily release all of the Dedicated Gas so affected for the duration of the interruption or curtailment. Each Producer may resume deliveries of such Producer’s Dedicated Gas to Gatherer at either of the following
times, in Producers’ sole discretion: (i) the end of the interruption or curtailment, or (ii) the first Day of the second Month immediately following the end of the interruption or curtailment. 


 

	 	(c)	If Dedicated Gas within the MDQ (including any additional Priority 1 Service agreed to pursuant to Section 5.3 (Additional Priority 1 Service)) is
interrupted or curtailed on the System for more than ** Days in any 365-Day period, other than interruptions or curtailments by Gatherer that are (i) excused by the terms and conditions of this Contract, (ii) attributable to Producers,
and/or (iii) attributable to a Downstream Transporter, then the Dedicated Gas volumes so affected will be permanently released from the Contract upon the written request of Producers. 


 

	6.	CONTRACT FEE 

  

	 	6.1	As full consideration for all services to be performed by Gatherer under Section 4.1 of this Contract, Producers will pay to Gatherer each Month an amount
equal to (i) the Monthly Volume for the preceding Month multiplied by (ii) a fixed fee per MMBTU (“Contract Fee”) that equals: 

  

	 	(a)	During the MVC Period, $**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees). 

  

	 	(b)	After the expiration of the MVC Period and until the expiration of the Initial Term, a fee per MMBTU to be determined as follows and including Third Party Credit Volume
in the Monthly Volume solely for the purpose of determining the applicable fee tier pursuant to this Section 6.1(b):

 SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS
HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**). 

 


	 	(i)	If the Monthly Volume is equal to the Base Volume Forecast, $**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees); if the Monthly Volume is at or below **% of the Base Volume Forecast,
$**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees); if the Monthly Volume is below the Base Volume Forecast but above **% of the Base Volume Forecast, an amount which will interpolate between $**/MMBTU and $**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees); if the Monthly
Volume is above the Base Volume Forecast but below **% of the Base Volume Forecast, an amount which will interpolate between $**/MMBTU and $**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees); and if the Monthly Volume is at or above **% of the Base Volume
Forecast, $**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees) for that portion of the Monthly Volume which totals **% of the Base Volume Forecast and $**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees) for any additional Monthly Volume above **% of the Base Volume Forecast.


  

	 	(ii)	By way of example, if the Monthly Volume for a given month is **% of the Base Volume Forecast, the fee would be $**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees), calculated as
follows: 

  

							
		 	Fee	  	=	  	(**-**)/(**-**) * $**/MMBTU + (**-**)/(**-**) * $**/MMBTU
		 		  	=	  	** * $**/MMBTU + ** * $**/MMBTU
		 		  	=	  	$**/MMBTU + $**/MMBTU
		 		  	=	  	$**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees)

 Likewise, if the Monthly Volume for a given month is **% of the Base Volume Forecast, the fee would be
$**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees), calculated as follows: 
  

							
		 	Fee	  	=	  	(**-**)/(**-**) * $**/MMBTU + (**-**)/(**-**) * $**/MMBTU
		 		  	=	  	** * $**/MMBTU + ** * $**/MMBTU
		 		  	=	  	$**/MMBTU + $**/MMBTU
		 		  	=	  	$**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees)

 For further example, if the Monthly Volume for a given month is **% of the Base Volume Forecast, the fee
would be $**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees), calculated as follows: 
  

							
		 	Fee	  	=	  	**/** * $**/MMBTU + (**-**)/** * $**/MMBTU
		 		  	=	  	$**/MMBTU + $**/MMBTU
		 		  	=	  	$**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees)

 While if the Monthly Volume for a given month is **% of the Base Volume Forecast, the fee would be
$**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees). 
  

	 	(c)	During any Renewal Term, a fee per MMBTU, determined for: 

  

	 	(i)	 the first Renewal Term, as the average of the Contract Fees applicable to the thirty-six (36) Months immediately preceding the beginning of such
Renewal Term, with such fees first escalated pursuant to Section 6.2 below, with the fees applicable to the Months from the year which is three (3) years back escalated three (3) times, the fees applicable to the Months from
the year which is two (2)

years back escalated two (2) times, and the fees applicable to the Months from the year which is one (1) year back escalated one (1) time, so as to bring the historical fees used
for the calculation current to the beginning of such Renewal Term; and 

  

	 	(ii)	each subsequent Renewal Term, if any, as the fee for the immediately preceding Renewal Term, escalated pursuant to Section 6.2 below.


  

	 	6.2	The Contract Fees set out in Section 6.1 and the Capacity Surcharge set out in Section 5.3 will be escalated by 2.5% annually, commencing on
January 1, 2013 and continuing until the end of the last Renewal Term. 

  

	 	6.3	In addition to the Contract Fees, Producers will pay (a) any Capacity Surcharge due under Section 5.3 (Additional Priority 1 Service) of this
Contract and (b) after the end of each Year, any MVC Deficiency Payment due Gatherer under Section 1.6 (Minimum Volume Commitment) of this Contract for the previous Year following receipt of an invoice for any MVC Deficiency
Payment due in accordance with Section 8.1 (“Statement”) of the General Terms. 

  

	 	6.4	The Contract Fee plus any Capacity Surcharge will not exceed $**/MMBTU (in 2012 unescalated fees) in any Month in which the Monthly Volume exceeds the Base Volume
Forecast. 

  

	7.	TERM. This Contract will remain in effect for an initial term of twenty (20) years, beginning on the Effective Date and ending on June 30, 2032
(“Initial Term”), and will renew automatically for successive twelve (12) Month terms (“Renewal Term”) unless terminated by Producers or Gatherer by written notice to the other Party at least ninety
(90) Days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term and provided that in no case will the term of this Contract exceed ninety-nine (99) years. 


 

	8.	SPECIAL PROVISIONS. 

  

	 	8.1	Fuel Caps and Electric Costs. 

  

	 	(a)	The cap on Fuel is **% of total Gas volumes compressed on the System per stage of compression performed (excluding volumes compressed by electric drive compressors) and
the cap on L&U is **% of total Gas volume at the Receipt Points. If Fuel and L&U in the aggregate in any quarter year exceeds the aggregate cap (excluding fuel attributable to treating, flash gas, and vapor recovery compression) (a
“Cap Exceedance”), then Gatherer will pay Producers the sum equal to the product of (a) Producers’ pro rata share of the volume of the Cap Exceedance, multiplied by (b) the Index Price per MMBTU within ninety
(90) Days after the end of the calendar quarter. 

  

	 	(b)	Gatherer will bill Producers each Month for, and Producers will pay, Producers’ allocated portion of electric costs used for electric compression of Dedicated Gas,
with the understanding that electric costs used for electric compression of Dedicated Gas each Month will neither be subject to a cap nor considered in determining whether there has been a Cap Exceedance. 


 

	 	8.2	 Gas Lift Operations. At the written request of Producers, Gatherer will install, own, and operate meters and other necessary facilities,
pipe, and equipment at any Dedicated Well pad on lands within the Dedication Area to deliver Dedicated Gas from the Dedicated Well pad or, if there is insufficient Dedicated Gas from the Dedicated Well pad, other Gas for Gas Lift Operations
(collectively, “Gas Lift Facilities”). At Producers’ request, Gatherer will relocate the Gas Lift Facilities to another Dedicated Well pad as directed by Producers if it is no longer in use at an existing pad. Producers will,
within thirty (30) Days of invoicing, reimburse Gatherer

for all costs incurred by Gatherer to install, operate, maintain, relocate, remove, and abandon any Gas Lift Facilities. Gatherer will not remove the meters at the Gas Lift Facilities without the
prior written consent of Producers. Producers assume all risk of loss and liability for the Gas used for Gas Lift Operations. Each Day, Producers will adjust their nominations to specified Delivery Points such that the sum of the Receipt Point
volumes for the System less the sum of measured Gas Lift Gas volumes in the System equals, as nearly as is practicable taking into account Fuel, L&U, and shrinkage due to Drip Liquids, the sum of the volumes at the delivery meters for the
specified Delivery Points. If the sum of the Receipt Point volumes less measured Gas Lift Gas volumes is negative, then Producers will be required to purchase Gas of substantially the same quality as the Dedicated Gas in order to meet such deficits,
or gas imbalances will be cashed out at the Index Price. For billing purposes, the volume at any Receipt Point (net of measured Gas Lift Gas volumes) will not be less than zero and Receipt Points will not be netted against others. Gas Lift Gas
sourced from the pad will not be compressed, dehydrated, or treated by Gatherer and, accordingly, will not incur the Contract Fee. 

  

	 	8.3	Measurement Data. 

  

	 	(a)	Allocated Producers Data. Gatherer will make available to Producers, including through electronic access as available, information containing Producers’
previous Day’s volumes (in MMBTU) delivered to each Receipt Point, as well as daily Gas Lift Gas information for each Receipt Point. Gatherer will also provide Producers, including through electronic access as available, access to its
preliminary daily measurement data for the Day that Dedicated Gas was actually received at each Receipt Point as allocated by the Dedicated Gas flow in MMBTU/Day to help Producers minimize Imbalances. All such information for a Day will be provided
by Gatherer on or before forty-eight (48) hours after the end of such Day, unless Gatherer is unable to do so for reasons beyond its reasonable control, in which case Gatherer will provide Producers such data as soon as reasonably practicable
under the circumstances. 

  

	 	(b)	Measurement Data. Gatherer will make available to Producers, including through electronic access as available, information containing the previous Day’s
volumes (MMBTU) and a spot flow rate in MMBTU/Day at the time of the latest poll of the measurement station. All such information for a Day will be provided by Gatherer on or before two (2) hours after the end of such Day, unless Gatherer is
unable to do so for reasons beyond its reasonable control, in which case Gatherer will provide Producers such data as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances. 


 

	 	8.4	Agency. For all purposes of this Contract, Producers appoint CEMI as their agent to receive and make all notices, invoices, payments, and other
communications under this Contract from or applicable to Producers and to make, withhold, grant, and take all approvals, consents, decisions, and actions required or permitted of Producers under or in connection with this Contract. Gatherer will
deal directly with CEMI for all matters under this Contract and will be fully protected, indemnified, and held harmless by Producers in acting in reliance upon any and all acts and things done or performed under this Contract by CEMI as
Producers’ agent as fully and effectively as though Producers had done the same until Producers designate a different agent in writing to Gatherer. A Producer may, at any time, terminate CEMI as its agent in which event such Producer will
notify Gatherer of the replacement agent, failing which Gatherer will be entitled to direct all notices and invoices to, and expect payment from, such Producer. If CEMI is terminated as agent for all Producers and a new agent is appointed and
becomes subject to this Contract, or if CEMI no longer owns or Controls any Dedicated Gas or any Dedicated Properties, then CEMI will be relieved of any further liability under this Contract with respect to events, acts, or omissions arising after
the effective date of the termination or the date CEMI no longer owns or Controls any Dedicated Gas or any Dedicated Properties.

	 	8.5	Dedication Area Exchange. 

  

	 	(a)	If Producers wish to make a like-kind exchange of oil, gas, and mineral leases comprising Dedicated Properties (“Transferred Property”) for
non-dedicated oil, gas, and mineral leases within the Dedication Area (“Received Property”) that have comparable Gas reserves, quantity, and quality as the Transferred Properties, and the Transferred Properties are not included in
the Allocated Acreage for a Dedicated Well, then the Parties will discuss such proposed exchange. If Gatherer agrees to any such exchange, in its sole discretion, the Transferred Property will be released and no longer be Dedicated Properties, and
the Received Property will then become Dedicated Properties. 

  

	 	(b)	If Gatherer does not agree to the proposed exchange, Producers may elect to exclude up to ** Net Acres of Received Properties from becoming Dedicated Properties under
this Section 8.5, and the remainder of the Received Properties will become Dedicated Properties notwithstanding Gatherer’s rejection of the exchange.

 EXHIBIT A-2 – GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

 

	1.	INCORPORATION OF GENERAL TERMS. 

 These General Terms are incorporated into and are part of the Contract. 
  

	2.	CONSTRUCTION AND OWNERSHIP OF FACILITIES AND CONNECTION OF ADDITIONAL WELLS. 


 

	 	2.1	Producers’ Facilities. Producers, at their sole cost and expense, will, as to all Dedicated Wells, construct, install, maintain, and operate any and
all facilities and equipment necessary for the proper, safe, and efficient operation of the Dedicated Wells and to enable Producers to make delivery of the Dedicated Gas to Gatherer at the Receipt Points for the Dedicated Wells (such equipment to
include the valves and fittings necessary to permit Gatherer to make its connection at the Receipt Points for separate wellhead gas and flash gas where applicable and pressure relief valves to protect equipment from excessive delivery pressures) in
accordance with this Contract. Producers will not be required to install or maintain compression facilities to enable Dedicated Gas to be delivered to a Receipt Point. 


 

	 	2.2	Gatherer’s Facilities. Gatherer, at its sole cost and expense, will construct, install, maintain, and operate any and all facilities and equipment,
including, but not limited to, treating, measurement and dehydration, necessary to accept Dedicated Gas at the well pad location of each Receipt Point and will deliver Equivalent Quantities of Dedicated Gas at each Delivery Point in accordance with
this Contract. 

  

	 	2.3	Ownership. All material and equipment furnished and installed by Gatherer will remain the property of Gatherer, and all material and equipment furnished
and installed by Producers will remain the property of Producers. Each Party will have the right to remove equipment installed by it within a reasonable time after termination of this Contract. 


 

	 	2.4	Right of Way. 

  

	 	(a)	Upon written request from Gatherer, Producers will grant Gatherer the right to lay and maintain lines and install equipment, according to Producers’ then-current
construction standards, on leases from which Dedicated Gas is produced that are necessary for the receipt of the Dedicated Gas, and Gatherer or Gatherer’s designee will have the right of free entry thereon during the term of this Contract; but
(i) only to the extent Producers’ leases or rights so permit, and (ii) only to the extent Gatherer’s activities on the relevant lands do not unreasonably interfere with Producers’ operations, in Producers’ sole
discretion. If it becomes necessary to relocate Gatherer’s pipeline and equipment, in the sole discretion of Producers, Gatherer will relocate such pipeline and equipment at Gatherer’s sole cost and expense. Gatherer will indemnify,
release, defend and hold harmless Producers and their Affiliates from any and all claims arising out of or incident to Gatherer’s use of such lands pursuant to this Section 2.4(a), WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER THE ACT, OCCURRENCE,
OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO ANY SUCH INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION IS THE RESULT OF THE SOLE, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF DUTY (STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE), OR OTHER FAULT OF OR VIOLATION OF ANY LAW
BY ANY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR ENTITY, PROVIDED THAT NO SUCH INDEMNIFICATION WILL BE APPLICABLE TO THE EXTENT OF ANY GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR ENTITY. 


 

	 	(b)	 Gatherer will grant Producers the right to lay and maintain water lines and install related equipment, according to Gatherer’s then-current
construction standards, on rights of way owned by Gatherer within the Dedication Area that are necessary for Producers’ operations related to the Dedicated Gas, and Producers or their designee will have the

right of free entry thereon during the term of this Contract, but, (i) only to the extent Gatherer’s rights so permit, and (ii) only to the extent Producers’ activities on the
relevant lands do not unreasonably interfere with Gatherer’s operations in Gatherer’s sole discretion. If it becomes necessary to relocate Producers’ pipeline and equipment, in the sole discretion of Gatherer, Producer will relocate
such pipeline and equipment at Producers’ sole cost and expense. Producers will indemnify, release, defend and hold harmless Gatherer and its Affiliates from any and all claims arising out of or incident, to Producers’ use of such rights
of way pursuant to this Section 2.4(b), WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER THE ACT, OCCURRENCE, OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO ANY SUCH INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION IS THE RESULT OF THE SOLE, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF DUTY (STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE), OR OTHER FAULT OF OR VIOLATION OF ANY LAW BY ANY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR ENTITY, PROVIDED THAT NO SUCH INDEMNIFICATION WILL BE APPLICABLE TO THE EXTENT OF ANY GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR ENTITY. 

  

	 	2.5	Additional Wells.  

  

	 	(a)	 On or before the
15th Day of each Month, Producers, if a Producer or an
Affiliate of a Producer is the well operator, will provide to Gatherer a report that provides: (i) good faith estimates of the expected spud dates, rig release dates, and dates for connection to the System of Dedicated Wells during the ** Month
period following the Month in which the report is provided (“Additional Wells”), with the understanding that if data for ** Months is not available, Producers will provide as much data as is available and will provide the additional
data as soon as it is available and with the further understanding that in no event will Producers provide the required information for less than ** Months following the Month in which the report is provided; (ii) the location of each of the
Additional Wells and their respective pads; and (iii) actual dates of the commencement of operations which occurred in the immediately prior Month. 



 

	 	(b)	Gatherer will use commercially reasonable efforts to connect each Additional Well to the System on or before the Day that such Additional Well is ready to commence
production, and in any event, will connect such Additional Well to the System on or before the Day that is the later of (i) ** Days (in the case of a well within ** miles of the existing System) or ** Days (in the case of a well more than **
miles from the existing System) after delivery by Producers of written notice to Gatherer to proceed with connection or (ii) ** Days after the date the well is capable of flowing (“Connection Deadline”). The Connection Deadline
for an Additional Well will be extended for each Day that Producers’ operations interfere with Gatherer’s ability to connect the Additional Well, in whole or in part. 


 

	 	(c)	If Gatherer fails to meet the Connection Deadline during the MVC Period, then Producers, as their sole remedy, will be entitled to a delay in their obligations with
respect to the MVC as provided in Section 1.6(c) of the Base Contract for Delayed Connection Volume. If Gatherer fails to meet the Connection Deadline after the MVC Period and its failure is not excused by Force Majeure or
Section 9.2 of these General Terms (a “Delayed Connection”), then Producers will, as their sole remedy (other than a release pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 2.5(c)), be entitled to a penalty for
each Delayed Connection equal to $** per Day for the first 15 Days, $** per Day for Day 16 thru 30, $** per Day for Day 31 thru 45, and $** for every Day thereafter, up to a cap of $**. If a Delayed Connection continues for ** Days, the affected
Additional Well and the Gas produced from it will be permanently released from this Contract. 

  

	 	(d)	 Notwithstanding Section 2.5(c) above, if Gatherer fails to meet the Connection Deadline due to Force Majeure or as excused pursuant to
Section 9.2 of these General Terms for 



  
 Exhibit A-2

 SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS
HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**). 

 


	 	
an Additional Well, then Producers will have the right to request that Gatherer connect up to ten (10) Additional Wells that have been so delayed to a third party pipeline. Upon receipt of
such a request, Gatherer will connect each of those Additional Wells to the third party pipeline, so long as and provided that the capital expenditures and other costs to be incurred by Gatherer to make the third party connection are not more than
the capital expenditures and other costs estimated by Gatherer to connect the Additional Well to the System. Once and if connected, Producer will pay the Contract Fee to Gatherer for Monthly Volumes delivered through the connection to the third
party pipeline. 

  

	 	(e)	If Gatherer connects an Additional Well and the Additional Well does not flow for at least ** during the ** year period after the connection has been completed, then
Producers will reimburse Gatherer for all costs and expenses associated with the connection to that Additional Well, including, without limitation, the direct, out-of-pocket cost of any pipe and measurement, treating or compression facilities
installed by Gatherer in connection with the Additional Well and, in such event, at Producers’ request, Gatherer will assign title to Producer to all pipe, measurement, treating and compression facilities and other equipment for which Gatherer
received reimbursement from Producer on an “as is, where is” basis. 

  

	3.	DOWNSTREAM TRANSPORTERS, NOMINATIONS AND PRIORITY. 

  

	 	3.1	Responsibility. Producers will have the sole responsibility for delivering the Dedicated Gas to the Receipt Points. Gatherer will have the sole
responsibility for accepting the Dedicated Gas from the Receipt Points and delivering Equivalent Quantities to the Delivery Points. 

  

	 	3.2	Transport Rules. The Parties recognize that Gatherer must coordinate its actions with those of the Downstream Transporters. Accordingly, the Parties will
negotiate in good faith to modify the provisions of this Contract through an amendment in order to implement standards adopted by the Downstream Transporters after the Effective Date or to otherwise harmonize the provisions of this Contract with the
operating procedures, conditions, rules and tariffs of any Downstream Transporter. 

  

	 	3.3	 Gas Nominations. At or before 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day before the earliest first-of-Month nomination deadline for all Downstream
Transporters, or 3 Days before the next Month, whichever is earlier, Producers will submit to Gatherer a nomination via Gatherer’s electronic bulletin board (“EBB”), or when such EBB is unavailable, via email, specifying in
MMBTU the quantity of Gas Producers propose to deliver to each Receipt Point and Delivery Point during the next Month. The nomination will include: (a) Producers’ name(s) and Gatherer’s contract number; (b) the daily quantity of
Gas to be delivered to Gatherer at each Receipt Point; (c) the quantity of Gas to be delivered by Gatherer to each Delivery Point and further designating the quantity of Gas for which Priority 1 Service is requested and the quantity for which
Priority 2 Service is requested; (d) start and end dates for such nominations; and (e) all upstream and downstream shipper codes associated with such nominations. The aggregate quantity listed on Producers’ Receipt Point nominations
will, as nearly as is practicable taking into account Gas Lift Gas volumes, Fuel, L&U, and shrinkage due to Drip Liquids, the sum of the specified delivery meters for the System, equal the aggregate quantity listed on Producers’ Delivery
Point nominations each Day. If Gatherer determines that there exists sufficient capacity on the System to permit Producers’ nomination to be accepted at the Receipt Points and delivered at the Delivery Points, Gatherer will confirm
Producers’ nominated quantity by email or facsimile (in each case, a “Scheduled Nomination”); otherwise Producers will revise their prevailing nomination. Producers will be entitled to revise their Scheduled Nomination for the
remainder of a Month at any time during such Month, subject to capacity availability on the System and on the systems of the Downstream Transporters. Any revision to the Scheduled Nomination will be effective with such notice as will be necessary in
order for the Downstream Transporter to take the revised nominations into account. If any discrepancy exists between Producers’ Scheduled Nomination and the quantity confirmed by the Downstream Transporter at any Delivery Point,




  
 Exhibit A-2
– Page 3 









 SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS
HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**). 

 


	 	
then Gatherer will notify Producers and Producers will be responsible for correcting the discrepancy and will timely re-nominate the corrected quantity. In the event that the discrepancy is not
resolved on a timely basis, Producers’ Scheduled Nomination will be deemed to be equal to the lesser of the delivery quantity nominated by Producers or the quantity confirmed by the Downstream Transporter. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Gatherer will not be obligated to provide service on any Day on which Producers do not make a timely and properly matched nomination pursuant to the procedures in this Contract. 


 

	 	3.4	Maintain Balance. Producers will be responsible for the marketing, scheduling, nominating, and nomination adjustments required each Month with the
Downstream Transporter. Producers will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep all Imbalances to a minimum and will not intentionally create or fail to avoid any Imbalances in order to take advantage of changes in the market price of Gas.
Gatherer will be entitled to manage its receipts from and deliveries to Producers so as to keep any Imbalances as near to zero (0) as practicable, in its sole discretion. Imbalances will be carried over from Month to Month. If Downstream
Transporter requires Gatherer to cash out Imbalances or imposes a penalty for any Imbalance, then Producers will pay to Gatherer, or receive from Gatherer, Producers’ pro rata share of the Imbalance cash-out amount and penalty. If the
Downstream Transporter requires Gatherer to resolve Imbalances by in-kind balancing, then Producers will adjust Producers’ nomination to comply with Downstream Transporter’s requirements. 


 

	4.	TAXES AND ROYALTIES. 

  

	 	4.1	Charges. Producers will pay or cause to be paid, and agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Gatherer harmless from and against the payment of, all taxes,
fees, charges, or impositions of every kind and character with respect to Dedicated Gas and the handling thereof prior to receipt thereof by Gatherer at the Receipt Points and after redelivery thereof by Gatherer at the Delivery Points. Subject to
Section 4.2, Gatherer will pay or cause to be paid all taxes, fees, charges, or impositions, if any, imposed upon Gatherer for the activity of gathering Dedicated Gas after receipt at the Receipt Point and prior to redelivery thereof by
Gatherer at the Delivery Points. 

  

	 	4.2	Taxes and Assessments. Producers will reimburse Gatherer for Producers’ allocable share of any new, additional, increased, or subsequently applicable
taxes, assessments, fees or other charges implemented or imposed after the Effective Date that are lawfully levied on or paid by Gatherer with respect to its performance under this Contract or on any part of the System, including any such
assessments, fees or other charges arising from any carbon tax or cap and trade law, rule or regulation adopted after the Effective Date but excluding any income taxes and any real or personal property or other ad valorem taxes imposed on the
System. Producers’ allocable share of any such amounts will be based on the ratio that Producers’ Dedicated Gas (expressed in MMBTU) received at the Receipt Points in the State or States in which such amounts are imposed bears to the total
volume of Gas (expressed in MMBTU) received at all System receipts points in such State or States, in each case during the applicable period for which such taxes, assessments, fees or other charges are incurred or imposed, as the case may be. To the
extent that any of Gatherer’s activities pursuant to this Contract produce or result in the generation of or otherwise qualify for any emission reduction credits or emission offset credits or bonus emission allowances (collectively,
“Greenhouse Gas Credits”) and Producers have paid for an allocable share of the costs of such activities pursuant to this Section 4.2, then Producers will be entitled to receive, and Gatherer will obtain and convey to
Producers, its allocable share of any such Greenhouse Gas Credits, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Gatherer will, as soon as practicable, notify Producers following Gatherer obtaining knowledge of any increase in or any new taxes,
assessments or fees or other charges in order to afford Producers the opportunity to contest any such charges and Gatherer agrees to cooperate with Producers in the event Producers elect to do so. 


 

	 	4.3	 Royalties. As between the Parties, Producers are responsible and liable for the payment of all royalties, overriding royalties, bonus
payments, production payments, payments for interests in 



  
 Exhibit A-2
– Page 4 









 SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS
HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**). 

 


	 	
production, and other payments due on production in any way relating to or concerning the Dedicated Gas (“Royalties”). Gatherer will have no responsibility or liability for, and,
as between the Parties, Producers assume full responsibility and liability for all Royalties, and will indemnify, defend, and hold Gatherer harmless from any and all Claims of any kind or character concerning Royalties. 


 

	5.	QUALITY. 

  

	 	5.1	Specifications. 

  

	 	(a)	The Gas delivered by Producers to Gatherer at each Receipt Point (i) will be commercially free of objectionable odors, dust, rust, gum, gum forming constituents,
free liquids, corrosion inhibitors, chemicals, treating chemicals, antifreeze agents, and all matters (other than those which comply with the specifications stated in clause (iii) below) that might adversely affect its merchantability or
Gatherer’s or Downstream Transporter’s pipeline facilities; (ii) will not contain any substance (other than those which comply with the specifications stated in clause (iii) below) that is determined to be, or that would be
classified as a contaminant or hazardous waste or substance under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 1857, et seq., as amended from time to time, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq., as amended from time to time, and the regulations issued thereunder, including, but not limited to, 40 C.F.R. Parts 302 and 355, together with any other applicable state or federal
environmental, health, or safety standards; and (iii) will conform to the most stringent quality specifications of any Downstream Transporter, other than with respect to water vapor, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, which are addressed in
Section 5.1(b) below. 

  

	 	(b)	Except as provided in this Section 5.1(b) or in Section 5.1(c) below, Gatherer will not treat Gas delivered by Producers and will have no
obligation to deliver Gas which fails to meet the specifications of any Downstream Transporter. Provided Producers deliver Gatherer Gas conforming to the quality specifications of this Section 5.1, Gatherer will deliver Equivalent
Quantities of Gas to each Delivery Point in accordance with Producers’ nominations and in compliance with each Downstream Transporter’s specification. Gatherer will treat Gas delivered by Producers to reduce water vapor to seven
(7) pounds per MMCF, the carbon dioxide content to 2%, and the hydrogen sulfide to 4 ppm of hydrogen sulfide or less; provided, however, that Gatherer’s obligation to so treat is contingent on Producers’ delivery to it, on an
average volume-weighted basis, of Gas that does not exceed ** ppm of hydrogen sulfide and **% for carbon dioxide at the North DeSoto Receipt Points, and ** ppm for hydrogen sulfide and **% for carbon dioxide at the Converse Receipt Points. If
Dedicated Gas exceeds those specifications, the Parties may negotiate a fee for Gatherer to provide any additional treating services necessary to reduce the carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulfide to the levels required above or another
mutually-agreeable level. 

  

	 	(c)	If any Downstream Transporter adopts quality specifications required at any Delivery Point that are more stringent than the specifications at which Gatherer is
delivering Gas to the Downstream Transporter, Gatherer will provide an estimate to Producers of the cost to install any additional facilities necessary to enable Gatherer to meet the Downstream Transporter’s specifications for Producers’
Gas. If Producers agree to reimburse Gatherer for the incremental costs and expenses associated with those additional facilities, Gatherer will construct, install and operate the additional facilities. 


 

	 	5.2	Non-Conforming Gas. 

  

	 	(a)	 If Gatherer is aware that Producers have tendered Non-Conforming Gas at any Receipt Point, Gatherer will notify Producers of the Non-Conforming Gas as
soon as is 



  
 Exhibit A-2
– Page 5 









 SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS
HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**). 

 


	 	
reasonably practicable. Gatherer may, in addition to exercising any remedies available to it (including those provided by Sections 6.2 and 6.3 of these General Terms), refuse to accept
delivery of Non-Conforming Gas; provided that, other than with respect to hydrogen sulfide, Gatherer will use commercially reasonable efforts to blend the Non-Conforming Gas with other Gas in its System so that it meets the applicable
specifications. If the Non–Conforming Gas cannot be brought into compliance with blending, then Gatherer will, subject to Section 6.2 of these General Terms, continue to accept and redeliver the Non-Conforming Gas to any Delivery
Points that will accept it, so long as Gatherer, in its reasonable discretion, determines that no harm will be done to the System, no harm will be done to other shippers on the System or their Gas, and no other shipper will be prevented from
nominating Gas to its preferred Delivery Point. 

  

	 	(b)	If Gatherer determines that the blending option described above is not feasible, then Producers may: (i) request Gatherer to bring such Gas into conformity with
applicable specifications, upon the Parties mutually agreeing on the fees to be paid by Producers to Gatherer for that service; or (ii) install any necessary equipment upstream of the Receipt Point in order to bring the Non-Conforming Gas into
conformity in accordance with this Contract. 

  

	 	(c)	The acceptance by Gatherer of Gas that does not meet the specifications of this Section will not be deemed a waiver of its right to require future deliveries to conform
to said specifications, nor does the acceptance, knowing or unknowing, of Non-Conforming Gas constitute a waiver for any claim for damage, defense, or indemnity resulting from accepting, or otherwise caused by, Non-Conforming Gas, except that if
Gatherer knowingly accepts Non-Conforming Gas, then Producers will not be liable for any claim for damage to Gatherer’s System resulting from the Non-Conforming Gas. Producers’ indemnity to Gatherer in Section 6.2 of these
General Terms will remain in effect in respect of any damage to third parties resulting from the Non-Conforming Gas, whether or not Gatherer knowingly accepts the Non-Conforming Gas. 


 

	 	(d)	Producers will be responsible for payment to Gatherer for their allocable share of the third party costs incurred and paid by Gatherer for handling and disposal of
associated saltwater and other objectionable liquids (excluding liquids collected during normal routine pigging operations) if Producers deliver those liquids into the System, with all such costs being allocated among all shippers on the System on a
Monthly basis based on the quantities of Gas delivered by each shipper to the System during that Month compared to the total quantities of Gas delivered by all shippers to the System during that Month. 


 

	6.	REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, INDEMNITY, TITLE, RESPONSIBILITY FOR INJURY. 


 

	 	6.1	Dedicated Gas. Producers represent and warrant that, with respect to the Gas tendered by Producers at any Receipt Point, they have and that they will
have, at the time of Gatherer’s receipt of Gas at the Receipt Points, to the best of their knowledge, complied with all applicable environmental, health, and safety statutes and regulations. Producers warrant that they will have, at the time of
Gatherer’s receipt of Gas at the Receipt Points, good title to or the full right and authority to tender such Gas to Gatherer free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, and claims that will have an adverse impact on Gatherer. Title to the Gas

resulting from, or attributable to any Non-Conforming Gas, including, but not limited to, the costs associated with the cleanup and repair of the System and the facilities of others affected by
such Non-Conforming Gas. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Producers will release, defend, indemnify, and hold Gatherer, its Affiliates, and its and their officers, employees, and agents harmless from and against any and all
Claims arising from personal injury, death, damage, pollution or contamination, or violation of or the need to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or other legal requirements, caused by, resulting from, or attributable to Non-Conforming Gas;
WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER THE ACT, OCCURRENCE, OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO ANY SUCH INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION IS THE RESULT OF THE SOLE, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF DUTY (STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE), OR OTHER FAULT OF OR VIOLATION OF ANY LAW BY ANY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON, PROVIDED THAT NO SUCH INDEMNIFICATION WILL BE APPLICABLE TO THE EXTENT OF ANY GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE INDEMNIFIED PERSON.


  

	 	6.3	Possession and Control. Under this Contract, Producers will be in exclusive control and possession of the Gas until such Gas has been received by
Gatherer at the Receipt Points and after redelivery of the Gas by Gatherer to Producers at the Delivery Points. Under this Contract, Gatherer will be in exclusive control and possession of the Gas between the Receipt Points and Delivery Points. The
Party that is in exclusive control and possession of the Gas will be responsible for all injury, damage, pollution, or contamination, or violation of or the need to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or legal requirement caused thereby,
except (a) to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the other Party and (b) with respect to Non-Conforming Gas (for which Producers will retain all liability arising from the Non-Conforming Gas except as
provided in Sections 5.2(c) and 6.2 of these General Terms with regard to Gatherer’s knowing acceptance of Non-Conforming Gas). Further, but also subject to Section 6.2 of these General Terms, the Party having
responsibility for Gas under the preceding sentences (except to the extent such Gas is Non-Conforming Gas, for which Producers retain all liability arising from the Non-Conforming Gas except as provided in Sections 5.2(c) and 6.2 of

of standard make and design commonly acceptable in the industry. Each new meter installed at the Receipt Points will be a meter acceptable in the industry and each meter at the Receipt Points
will be fabricated, constructed, installed, and operated in accordance with the requirements of applicable industry provisions at a minimum, but not limited to the following standards: 


 

	 	(a)	Orifice Measurement - American Gas Association (“AGA”) Report Number 3, dated 2000 or the most recent edition as soon as practicable.


  

	 	(b)	Turbine Measurement - AGA Report Number 7, dated 1996 or the most recent edition as soon as practicable. 


 

	 	(c)	Positive Measurement - American National Standards Institute B109.2, dated 2000 or the most recent edition as soon as practicable. 


 

	 	(d)	Ultrasonic Measurement - AGA Report Number 9, dated 2003 or the most recent edition as soon as practicable. 


 

	 	(e)	Coriolis Measurement - AGA Report Number 11, dated 2003 or the most recent edition as soon as practicable. 


 

	 	7.2	Gas Quantity Determination. Gas quantities at the Receipt Points will be calculated by Gatherer using electronic flow measurement equipment
(“EFM”) for Gas that is designed, installed, and operated as described in American Petroleum Institute Report Number 21, Part 1, Flow Measurement using Electronic Metering Systems, most recent edition (“API 21.1”).
As new editions of API 21.1 are released, pre-existing EFM equipment will be grandfathered unless updates and enhancements are mutually agreed to by the Parties. Any existing Circular Chart Recorders used as secondary measurement devices are
grandfathered, and Gatherer will use industry practices and standards for the integration and processing of volume, pressure and temperature. All fundamental constants, observations, records, calculations, and procedures involved in the
determination and/or verification of the quantity and other characteristics of Gas measured hereunder at the Receipt Points will be in accordance with the applicable provisions as outlined in the “Gas Measurement and Installation
Requirements” section in these General Terms, or by any other method commonly used in the industry and mutually acceptable to the Parties. Factors required in the computations of Gas delivered hereunder at the Receipt Points will be determined
in the following manner: 

  

	 	(a)	Temperature. For the installation of all new meters installed during the term of this Contract, the temperature of Gas flowing through each meter will be
measured using a continuous temperature recording system. In the event that a pre-existing meter was installed without a temperature recording device, Producers may request, and Gatherer will install, at Producers’ expense, equipment (a RTD,
new meter tube, etc.) to achieve continuous temperature measurement. If a meter does not have a temperature recording device, Gatherer will use an average temperature derived from similarly situated meter installations in the same geographic area.


  

	 	(b)	Base Pressure. The base pressure that will be used for all Gas measurement under this Contract will be fourteen and seventy-three hundredths (14.73) PSIA.


  

	 	7.3	Atmospheric Pressure. The average absolute atmospheric will be assumed to be the pressure value as reasonably determined for each meter location pursuant
to generally accepted practices such as from published local data or by calculating from a local elevation. If the pressure transmitter being used is capable of measuring actual atmospheric pressure, then actual atmospheric pressure may be used by
Gatherer.

	 	(a)	Water Vapor Correction. The volume and total energy content will be adjusted by Gatherer if the water vapor of the Gas is determined or assumed to be greater
than seven (7) pounds of water vapor per MMCF. This “As Delivered” total energy will include corrections as outlined in GPA 2172-09 or latest edition (as soon as practicable) and will be considered saturated at flowing conditions of
temperature and pressure. 

  

	 	(b)	New Measurement and Gas Quality Technologies. If at any time a new industry accepted method or technique is developed with respect to Gas measurement or quality
or the determination of the factors used in such Gas measurement or quality, such new method or technique may, if mutually agreed by both Parties, be substituted. 


 

	 	7.4	Gas Quality Determination. Tests for oxygen, carbon dioxide, sulfur, and hydrogen sulfide content of the Gas delivered pursuant to this Contract will be
made as often as deemed necessary by Gatherer, by means commonly used and accepted in the industry. Gas Analysis Samples will be taken by Gatherer at the time of meter inspection and verification or at more frequent periods as agreed. These samples
will be used to determine the heating value and specific gravity to be used in computations in the measurement of Gas until the next regular test, or until changed by special test. For the purpose of determining initial heating value, all BTUs
determined will be based upon dry water vapor content at the same base pressure and base temperature conditions. No heating value will be credited for BTU’s attributable to hydrogen sulfide or other non-hydrocarbon components. All heating
values must be applied to the calculated volumes at the same base pressure. Any adjustments to MMBTU or quality based on water vapor condition will be performed as outlined in the “Water Vapor Correction” section in the Standards for Gas
Measurement Computations in these General Terms. Unless otherwise supported by a representative extended gas analysis, Gatherer will assume that C6+ components from a Gas analysis sample are broken down as follows: 60% normal Hexane, 30% normal
Heptane, and 10% normal Octane. Gatherer will sample and determine the Gross Heating Value, relative density, and compressibility by utilizing the latest edition of the following industry standards: 


 

	 	(a)	Gas Processors Association (“GPA”) 2166, Obtaining Natural Gas Samples for Analysis by Gas. 


 

	 	(b)	GPA 2261, Analysis for Natural Gas and Similar Gaseous Mixtures by Gas Chromatography. 


 

	 	(c)	GPA 2145, Physical Constants for Paraffin Hydrocarbons and Other Components of Natural Gas. 


 

	 	(d)	GPA 2172, Calculation of Gross Heating Value, Relative Density, and Compressibility of Natural Gas Mixtures from Compositional Analysis. 


 

	 	(e)	AGA Report Number 8, Compressibility Factors of Natural Gas and Other Related Hydrocarbon Gases. 


Gatherer will sample the flowing Gas stream utilizing one of the following methods: 

 

	 	(a)	On-line Chromatography - If this method is utilized, an industry accepted Gas chromatograph with full audit and error logging must be used, and maintained and
calibrated by qualified personnel. 

  

	 	(b)	Accumulated Sample (also known as Composite Sample) - If this method is utilized, the application of Gas quality in the volume calculation will be the time period
mutually agreeable to both Parties and will be valid until the next sample is obtained.

 SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS
HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**). 

 


	 	(c)	Spot Sample - If this method is utilized, the application of Gas quality in the volume calculation will be the time period mutually agreeable to both Parties and will
be valid until the next sample is obtained. Samples for the first Month of flow (first flow sample) will be applied from the date of first Gas flow until the next sample is obtained. Spot sampling will be performed at a minimum of the same frequency
of inspection and verification and the frequency will be determined based upon the average daily flow rate at the Receipt Point as outlined in the “Meter Inspection and Verification” section of these General Terms.


  

	 	(d)	Upon mutual agreement of the Parties, other types of BTU per cubic foot measuring devices may be installed and operated, and the Gross Heating Value will be computed in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions for same and consistent with industry-accepted practices for transmission BTU per cubic foot measurement. 


 

	 	7.5	Meter Inspection and Verification. All meters at the Receipt Points will be inspected and verified for accuracy by Gatherer, ensuring that the meter
inspection and verification frequency is in compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards. All testing equipment will be provided by Gatherer at Gatherer’s expense. Notification of scheduled inspections and verifications will
be made to all interested Parties and reasonable effort will be made to accommodate each Party’s schedule; however, inspection and verification by Gatherer will proceed at the scheduled time regardless of attendees. If either Party, at any
time, desires a special test of any of the meters at the Receipt Points, the Party will promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties will then cooperate to secure a test and a joint observation of any adjustments, and the meter will then be
adjusted to accuracy. The costs of special tests will be borne by the requesting Party unless the meter is found to be more than two percent (2%) in error, in which case Gatherer will pay the costs. Gatherer will give Producers notice of the
time of all regular tests of its meters and other tests at the Receipt Points, sufficiently in advance to allow Producers to have their representative present. Frequency will comply with any regulatory requirements but, at a minimum, will be based
on the following schedule, depending on the average daily flow of the meter: 

  

			
	Yearly	  	Less than 1,000 MCFD
		
	Semi-Annual	  	Between 1,000 and 5,000 MCFD
		
	Quarterly	  	Between 5,000 and 20,000 MCFD
		
	Monthly	  	Greater than 20,000 MCFD

  

	 	7.6	Measurement Equipment Inaccuracy. 

  

	 	(a)	Errors Less Than to 2%. If, upon any test, the measurement equipment at a Receipt Point in the aggregate is found to be in error by less than two percent (2%),
previous recordings of such equipment will not be adjusted by the amount of the error, but such equipment will be adjusted to a condition of accuracy. 

  

	 	(b)	Errors Greater Than or Equal to 2%. If, upon any test, the metering equipment at a Receipt Point in the aggregate is found to be inaccurate by two percent
(2%) or greater, registration thereof or any payment based upon such registration will be corrected to the date of such inaccuracy which is definitely known or agreed upon, or if not known or agreed upon, then for a period extending back
one-half of the time elapsed since the previous calibration, using the order of preference set forth in the section “Measurement Equipment Out of Service or Repair” in these General Terms. Following any test, measurement equipment found
inaccurate will be adjusted to a condition of accuracy. 

  

	 	7.7	Measurement Equipment Out of Service or Repair. If the measurement equipment at a Receipt Point is found to be measuring inaccurately and the amount of
Gas delivered cannot be ascertained or computed from the reading, then the Gas delivered will be estimated and agreed upon by the Parties based on the best data available, using the first available of the following: 


 

	 	(a)	The registration of any check meter or meters if installed and accurately registering; 


  
 Exhibit A-2

 SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS
HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**). 

 


	 	(b)	The correction of the errors, if the percentage of error is ascertainable by meter calibration, test, or mathematical calculation; and 


 

	 	(c)	The estimation based on comparison of the quantity of deliveries with deliveries during preceding periods under similar conditions when the meter was registering
accurately. 

  

	 	7.8	Check Meters and Data Sharing. Producers may, at their option and sole expense, install, maintain, and operate check meters at the Receipt Points of a
suitable type and other equipment to check Gatherer’s meters; provided, however, that such check meters and other equipment will be installed so as not to interfere with the operation of any of Gatherer’s facilities. Gatherer will
purchase dual pressure tap meter fittings for facilitation of Producers installed piggyback check measurement. Producers will have limited access to Gatherer’s EFM equipment for each Receipt Point to read flowing variables, flow rates,
accumulated volume and other generally accepted readings available for external EFM display. If a second set of pressure taps are not available on an existing meter, on a case by case basis, Gatherer may allow sharing of primary element taps for
piggybacked EFM equipment on Gatherer’s primary meter device and may allow an electronic signal or communication device to access a communication port. Producers will also have the right to access, for monitoring purposes, data at
Gatherer’s Receipt Point meters for the Dedicated Gas by way of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system, so long as the same does not interfere with Gatherer’s meters or other portions of the System. Additionally, at
Producers’ or CEMI’s request, Gatherer will provide an electronic monthly volume statement of all gross volumes by Receipt Point meter. 

  

	 	7.9	Witnessing and Inspection. Gatherer and Producers will have limited access to each other’s measuring equipment at all times during business hours,
but the reading, calibrating, and adjustment thereof will be done only by the employees or agents of Gatherer and Producers, respectively, as to meters or check meters so installed pursuant to this Contract (provided that nothing in this
sentence will be deemed a limitation of Producers’ right to measurement data provided elsewhere in this Contract). Either Party will have the right to be present at the time of any installing, reading, cleaning, changing, repairing, inspecting,
calibrating or adjusting done in connection with the equipment used in measuring Gas pursuant to this Contract at the Receipt Points. The original records from such measuring equipment will remain the property of their owner, but, upon request,
either Party may request copies of measurement related records and calculations. 

  

	 	7.10	Records. EFM data, tests, and inspection records pertaining to measurement under this Contract will be retained for a period of two (2) years (or
longer to the extent required by law) for the mutual use of the Parties. Original meter fabrication and specification records will be kept for the life of the meter. 


 

	 	7.11	Pulsation. Production equipment upstream of the Receipt Points will be designed and operated in a manner that will not interfere with acceptable
measurement standards. If such interference is detected, Gatherer will notify Producers and they will have sixty (60) Days to correct, or cause to be corrected, the problems causing measurement errors due to pulsation, vibration, or harmonic
wave distortion caused by compressors, pumps, or other production equipment upstream of the Receipt Points. Either Party will have the right to conduct pulsation or Square Root Error (SRE) tests on orifice meters as they deem prudent, at the testing
Party’s sole risk and expense. Inaccuracies greater than or equal to one half of one percent (0.5%) SRE at typical operating conditions that are found to be the result of pulsation, vibration, or harmonic wave distortion caused by compressors,
pumps, or other production equipment upstream of the Receipt Points will be corrected.

	8.	BILLING AND PAYMENT. 

  

	 	8.1	 Statement. On or before the fifteenth (15th) Day of each Month, Gatherer will provide to Producers a statement showing, with respect to the previous Month:



  

	 	(a)	Monthly Volume (in MMBTU) of Gas accepted from Producers at the Receipt Points; 


 

	 	(b)	the Third Party Credit Volume (in MMBTU) of Gas accepted by Gatherer at the Receipt Points; 


 

	 	(c)	the Equivalent Quantities redelivered at the Delivery Points; 

  

	 	(d)	the amount in dollars due from Producers to Gatherer under this Contract for treating and gathering of Gas accepted from Producers at the Receipt Points;


  

	 	(e)	the amount in dollars of any other fees charged by Gatherer to Producers authorized pursuant to this Contract, including any MVC Deficiency Payment;


  

	 	(f)	a statement showing Imbalances; and 

  

	 	(g)	reasonable supporting documentation for the matters set forth on the statement as reasonably requested in writing by CEMI or its successor agent, and, if so requested
by CEMI or its successor agent, then such information will be included in all future statements. 

 Additionally,
during the MVC Period, Gatherer will provide to Producers for each Year a statement showing Curtailed Volume, Delayed Connection Volume, Force Majeure Volume and Maintenance Suspension Volume, if any, for that Year and Gatherer will provide
estimates of such volumes quarterly to the extent available. 
  

	 	8.2	Payment. Producers will make payment by wire transfer to Gatherer of all amounts due under Section 8.1 by the date that is twenty
(20) Days following receipt of Gatherer’s statement. If Producers, in good faith, dispute the amount of any statement of Gatherer’s or any part thereof, Producers will pay Gatherer such amount, if any, that is not in dispute and will
provide Gatherer written notice, no later than within 30 Days after the date that payment of such invoice would be due under this Section, of the disputed amount accompanied by supporting documentation acceptable in industry practice to support the
disputed amount. If the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute, either Party may pursue any remedy available at law or in equity to enforce its rights under this Contract. If notice of a disputed invoice is not furnished to Gatherer by the date
above, Producers will be deemed to have waived the right to dispute such invoice, subject to Producers’ rights under Section 8.3 below. If Producers fail to pay the undisputed amount of any statement rendered by Gatherer when such
amount is due, interest will accrue on the unpaid balance from the date due until the date of payment at a rate equal to the lower of (a) the then-effective prime rate of interest published under “Money Rates” by The Wall Street
Journal, plus two percent (2%) per annum; or (b) the maximum applicable lawful interest rate. 

  

	 	8.3	Audit. Each Party will have the right, at its own expense, at all reasonable times and during normal business hours, to examine the books and records of
the other Party and its designees responsible for carrying out such Party’s obligations, to the extent necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, charge, computation, or demand made under or pursuant to this Contract. Each Party agrees
to keep, and agrees to cause its designees responsible for carrying out such Party’s obligations to keep, records and books of the account in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in the industry. Each statement
will be final as to both Parties unless questioned in writing to the other Party within twenty-four (24) Months following receipt.

	 	8.4	Adequate Assurance of Performance. If (i) Producers fail to pay any amounts due under this Contract according to the provisions hereof and such
failure continues for a period of ** Business Days after notice of such failure is provided to Producers or (ii) Gatherer has reasonable grounds for insecurity regarding the ability of Producers to pay any amounts due or to become due under
this Contract or to meet any other financial obligation of Producers under this Contract, then Gatherer, by notice to Producers, may, singularly or in combination with any other rights it may have, demand Adequate Assurance of Performance by
Producers. “Adequate Assurance of Performance” means at the option of Producers, advance payment in cash by Producers to Gatherer for Services to be provided under this Contract in the following Month, or delivery to Gatherer by
Producers of an Acceptable Letter of Credit in an amount equal to not less than the aggregate proceeds due from Producers under the Contract for the prior two-Month period. If Producers fail to provide Adequate Assurance of Performance to Gatherer
within ** Business Days after receipt of Gatherer’s Notice, then Gatherer will have the right to suspend or reduce all Services under this Contract without prior notice and without limiting any other rights or remedies available to it under
this Contract or otherwise. If Gatherer is entitled to Adequate Assurance of Performance and exercises the right to suspend or reduce services under this Section 8.4, then Producers will not be entitled to take, or cause to be taken, any
action under this Contract or otherwise against Gatherer for such suspension or reduction. Failure of Gatherer to exercise its right to suspend or reduce service as provided in this Section will not constitute a waiver by Gatherer of any rights or
remedies Gatherer may have under the contract, applicable law, or otherwise. 

  

	9.	FORCE MAJEURE AND TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF OBLIGATIONS. 

  

	 	9.1	Force Majeure. 

  

	 	(a)	Failure to Perform. Except with regard to a Party’s obligation to make payments due under this Contract, no Party will be liable to the other for failure to
perform its obligations under this Contract to the extent such failure was caused by Force Majeure. 

  

	 	(b)	Definition of Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” will include acts of God, strikes, lockouts, or other industrial disputes or disturbances, acts of
the public enemy, wars, blockades, insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, storms, and warnings for any of the foregoing which may necessitate the precautionary shut-down of wells, plants,
pipelines, gathering systems (including the System), or other related facilities, floods, washouts, arrests, and restraints of governments and people, civil disturbances, explosions, sabotage, freezing of wells or lines of pipe, electric power
shortages, necessity for compliance with any court order, or any law, statute, ordinance, regulation or order promulgated by a governmental authority having or asserting jurisdiction, inclement weather that necessitates extraordinary measures and
expense to construct facilities or maintain operations, and any other event or cause, including mechanical failure, structural failure, breakage of or accident to machinery, lines of pipe, or wells, or the inability or failure of Downstream
Transporter to receive Gas, not within the reasonable control of the Party claiming suspension, other than events subject to Section 9.2 below. “Force Majeure” will also include any event qualifying as aforesaid and
occurring with respect to the facilities or services of either Party’s service providers providing a service or providing any equipment, goods, supplies, or other services or items necessary to the performance of such Party’s obligations
under this Contract, but in each case only to the extent such event is not within the reasonable control of the affected Person. 

  

	 	(c)	Remedy of Event. No Party will be entitled to the benefit of the provisions of Force Majeure to the extent the Party claiming Force Majeure has failed to remedy
the condition and to overcome the circumstances claimed to be Force Majeure and to resume the performance of such covenants or obligations with reasonable diligence and dispatch.

	 	(d)	Strikes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, the Parties agree that the settlement of strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances
will be within the sole discretion of the Party experiencing such disturbance. 

  

	 	(e)	Notice. The Party whose performance is prevented by Force Majeure must provide notice to the other Parties. Initial notice may be given orally. Written notice
with reasonably full particulars of the event or occurrence, as well as such Party’s plans for addressing the Force Majeure event, is required as soon as reasonably practicable. Upon providing written notice of Force Majeure to the other
Parties, the affected Party will be relieved of its obligation, from the onset of the Force Majeure, to make or accept delivery and redelivery of Gas, as applicable, to the extent and for the duration of Force Majeure, and no Party will be deemed to
be in breach of its obligations under this Contract to the extent that the fulfillment of such obligations is prevented by reason of an event of Force Majeure. 


 

	 	(f)	Remedy. If Gatherer suspends its performance of Services under this Contract due to an event of Force Majeure affecting Gatherer, then Producers, as their sole
remedy, will be entitled to a delay in their obligations with respect to the MVC as provided in Section 1.6(c) of the Base Contract for Force Majeure Volume and to a temporary release of Force Majeure Volumes as provided by
Section 5.6(b) of the Base Contract. 

  

	 	9.2	Other Excused Suspensions of Service. 

  

	 	(a)	In addition to Force Majeure, Gatherer also may temporarily suspend its performance of Services under this Contract without liability to Producers due to:
(i) inspections, alterations, or repairs to any part of the System or any required relocations or modifications of pipelines and other equipment and facilities comprising part of the System necessary or desirable in the Gatherer’s judgment
acting as a reasonably prudent operator; (ii) in those instances where Gatherer is required to obtain servitudes, rights-of-way, grants, surface rights, permits, or licenses to enable it to fulfill its obligations under this Contract, its
inability to acquire, or delay in acquiring (at commercially reasonable cost and after the exercise of reasonable diligence) such servitudes, rights-of-way, grants, surface rights, permits, or licenses; and (iii) in those instances where
Gatherer is required to furnish labor, materials, or supplies for the purpose of constructing or maintaining facilities or is required to secure permits or permissions from any governmental authority to enable it to fulfill its obligations under
this Contract, its inability to acquire, or delays on its part of in acquiring (at commercially reasonable cost and after the exercise of reasonable diligence) the labor, materials, supplies, permits, and permissions. 


 

	 	(b)	Gatherer will provide notice to Producers if Gatherer’s performance is suspended by any event under Section 9.2(a). Initial notice may be given orally.
Written notice with reasonably full particulars of the event or occurrence, as well as Gatherer’s plans for addressing the reason for the suspension, is required as soon as reasonably practicable. Upon providing written notice of the event to
Producers, Gatherer will be relieved of its obligation, from the onset of the event, to accept delivery and make redelivery of Gas, to the extent and for the duration of the event; provided that Gatherer will not be entitled to the benefit of
the provisions of this Section 9.2 to the extent Gatherer fails to commence or resume the performance of the Services subject to the suspension with reasonable diligence and dispatch. 


 

	10.	MISCELLANEOUS.

Texas, without regard to the conflicts of law rules thereof. To the extent that the rights of the Parties are not resolved by the Dispute Resolution Procedure attached as Exhibit E,
each Party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Texas and the federal courts of the United States of America located in Dallas County, Texas over any dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Contract
or any of the transactions contemplated by this Contract, and each Party irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or proceeding will be heard and determined in such courts. Each Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Contract or any of the transactions contemplated by this Contract brought in such court or any defense of
inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute or action. A judgment in any dispute heard in the venue specified by this Section may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable

	 	10.2	Delivery of Notices. All invoices and other communications made pursuant to this Contract will be in writing and will be made to the addresses specified
in Exhibit A-1 or as otherwise specified in writing by the respective Parties from time to time. Notices will be deemed to have been served when received on a Business Day, or on the Business Day first following receipt in the event of
receipt on a non-Business Day. In the absence of proof of the actual receipt date, the following presumptions will apply. Notices sent by facsimile will be deemed to have been received upon the sending Party’s receipt of its facsimile
machine’s confirmation of successful transmission. If the Day on which such facsimile is received is not a Business Day or the time of receipt is after five p.m. on a Business Day, then such facsimile will be deemed to have been received on the
next following Business Day. Notice by overnight mail or courier will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day after it was sent or such earlier time as is confirmed by the receiving Party. Notice by first class mail will be
considered delivered 5 Business Days after mailing. 

  

	 	10.3	Reports to Government Agencies. Gatherer does not represent or warrant that any information it may furnish to Producers under the provisions of this
Contract will satisfy any of the requirements that may be imposed by any applicable state or federal laws and by any applicable orders, rules, and regulations of any governmental agency having jurisdiction. Further, Gatherer does not assume the
responsibility for the making of any reports to any governmental agencies that are required to be made by or on behalf of Producers, though Gatherer will provide any reasonable assistance requested by Producers in connection with making any such
reports. 

  

	 	10.4	Waiver. No waiver by any Party of any default by any other Party in the performance of any provision, condition, or requirement in this Contract will be
deemed to be a waiver of, or in any manner release the other from, performance of any other provision, condition, or requirement in this Contract, nor deemed to be a waiver of, or in any manner release the other from, future performance of the same
provision, condition, or requirement; nor will any delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right under this Contract in any manner impair the exercise of any such right or like right accruing to it thereafter. 


 

	 	10.5	Assignment. 

  

	 	(a)	This Contract and the dedication in this Contract to Gatherer will constitute covenants that run with the land for the full term of this Contract and will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, personal representatives, administrators, and heirs of the respective Parties. 

  

	 	(b)	 Gatherer may not assign this Contract unless (i) Gatherer is transferring its ownership in the System to the same assignee, (ii) Gatherer

unreasonably withheld or delayed. Gatherer may not assign, transfer, or convey ownership of the System unless (1) it is made subject to this Contract and (2) the receiving party
provides to CEMI, or its successor as agent under this Contract, the receiving party’s acknowledgement of this Contract. 

  

	 	(c)	Producers may not assign this Contract except to the extent that the assigning Party’s corresponding ownership interest in the Dedicated Properties is transferred
and the assigning Party obtains the prior written consent of Gatherer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

  

	 	(d)	Following an assignment as set forth in (b) or (c) above, the assignor and its Affiliates will be relieved of any further liability under this Contract with
respect to events, acts, or omissions arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assets, rights, and ownership interests (as applicable) transferred. 


 

	 	(e)	This Contract is for the exclusive use of the Parties and their successors and assigns permitted pursuant to this Section 10.5, and will not be assignable
in whole or in part to other persons, heirs, administrators, successors or assigns. 

  

	 	(f)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, (i) a Party may assign this Contract in whole (but not in part) to any Affiliate of such Party without the consent
of the other Party, provided that the assigning Party will remain liable for all obligations of the assignee under this Contract and (ii) Gatherer may assign this Contract in whole (but not in part) without Producers’ consent to any
reasonably qualified operator with a credit rating comparable to the credit rating of Gatherer’s ultimate parent on the Effective Date. 

  

	 	(g)	For purposes of this Section 10.5, a Change of Control with respect to a Producer will be considered an assignment of this Contract by such Producer.


  

	 	(h)	For purposes of this Section 10.5, a Change of Control with respect to Gatherer will be considered an assignment of this Contract by Gatherer.


  

	 	10.6	Illegal, Invalid, or Unenforceable Terms. If any provision of this Contract is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under the present or future
laws effective during the term of this Contract, (i) such provision will be fully severable, (ii) this Contract will be construed and enforced thenceforth as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part
of this Contract, and (iii) the remaining provisions of this Contract will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Contract. Furthermore,
(1) in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, with a view to maintaining or restoring the commercial balance between the Parties, there will be added as a part of this Contract a provision as similar in terms to such
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and as may be legal, valid, and enforceable and which preserves the economic benefits of this Contract consistent with the original intent of the parties and (2) such illegality,
invalidity, or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of this Contract. If the parties cannot agree on replacement terms, then either party may terminate this Contract by giving
the other party written notice of termination. Such termination will be effective no earlier than 60 Days after the date of the notice. 

  

	 	10.7	Multiple Counterparts. It is recognized and agreed that this Contract may be executed in any number of counterparts, no one of which need be executed by
all Parties, or may be ratified, adopted, or consented to by separate instrument, in writing specifically referring to this Contract. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Contract by facsimile transmission will be equally effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This Contract will not become effective unless and until a counterpart hereof has been executed by all Parties.

	 	10.8	No Partnership, Association, Etc. Nothing contained in this Contract will be construed to create an association, trust, partnership, joint venture or
other business entity between the Parties or impose a trust or partnership duty, obligation, or liability on or with regard to any Party. 

  

	 	10.9	No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Contract, expressed or implied, will give or be construed to give any person, other than the Parties and

will be for the sole benefit of the Parties. 

  

	 	10.10	Designees and Representatives. Each Party will be entitled to use designees and representatives when fulfilling its obligations and availing itself of its
rights under this Contract. Each Party’s performance in favor of another Party’s duly nominated designee for such purpose will be construed as performance in favor of such other Party. 


 

	 	10.11	LIABILITIES. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY HAVE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTIES FOR REMOTE OR INDIRECT CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES, OR
PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUE AND LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFIT (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LOSS OF REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFIT IS ALSO DIRECT, ACTUAL DAMAGES), IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THE LOSSES OR
DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE, RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF THE PERFORMANCE, DEFECTIVE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE BY ANY OR ALL OF THE PARTIES OF ITS OR THEIR OBLIGATION(S) UNDER THIS CONTRACT, OR THE RESULT OF THE SOLE, ACTIVE, PASSIVE,
CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF DUTY (STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE), OR OTHER FAULT OF OR VIOLATION OF ANY LAW OF THE PARTY WHOSE LIABILITY IS BEING WAIVED, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARE OWED TO A THIRD
PARTY PURSUANT TO A CLAIM FOR WHICH A PARTY IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AN INDEMNITY UNDER THIS CONTRACT. 

  

	 	10.12	Entire Contract. This Contract constitutes the entire Contract between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and the same supersedes any prior
understandings or written or oral agreements relative to said matter. This Contract may be amended, supplemented or modified only by a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of each Party. 


 

	 	10.13	Joint Drafting. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Contract. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or
interpretation arises, this Contract will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Contract.


  

	 	10.14	Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree (i) that each Party would be irreparably harmed by a breach by the other Party of any of
their obligations under this Contract and (ii) that there would be no adequate remedy at law or damages to compensate the non-breaching Party for any such breach. The Parties agree that the non-breaching Party will be entitled to injunctive
relief requiring specific performance by the breaching Party of its obligations under this Contract, and the Parties hereby consent and agree to the entry of such injunctive relief. 


 

	 	10.15	 Confidentiality. The terms of this Contract (and the information that will be provided under it) that have not been publicly disclosed
with the prior written consent of all of the Parties (“Information”) are confidential and proprietary information of the Parties. Accordingly, each Party represents that it has not and agrees that it will not and will cause its
shareholders, members, directors, officers, agents, advisors and Affiliates not to, disclose to any person any Information or confirm any statement made by third parties regarding Information unless all Parties have provided their prior written
consent to such disclosure. Furthermore, the Parties

agree that they will make no use of the Information except as specifically authorized by or otherwise required to perform or comply with this Contract. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
under this Section 10.15, Information will not include information that: (i) is in the public domain; (ii) is previously known or independently developed by the Party; or (iii) is acquired by the Party from any third party
having a right to disclose such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Section 10.15: 

  

	 	(a)	a Party may disclose Information to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable law, regulation, governmental order, or by the rules of any stock exchange upon
which shares of the disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates are registered or are in the process of being registered, which rules require the disclosure to be made; 


 

	 	(b)	each Party may transmit Information to its partners, shareholders, potential investors, purchasers and potential purchasers, lenders or potential lenders, and their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives, including attorneys, accountants and consultants (collectively, “Representatives”), but only to such Representatives who are informed of the confidential nature
of the Information and who agree to treat such Information as confidential; 

  

	 	(c)	a Party may disclose Information to the extent necessary to comply with a regulatory agency’s reporting requirements; and 


 

	 	(d)	a Party may disclose Information to the extent necessary to comply with any legal process (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents,
subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) but will promptly notify the other Party, prior to disclosure to the extent possible and legally allowed, and will cooperate (consistent with the disclosing Party’s legal obligations)
with the other Party’s efforts to obtain protective orders or similar restraints with respect to such disclosure at the expense of the other Party. 

 The existence of this Contract is not subject to this confidentiality obligation. The entry into, or filing of a memorandum in the applicable public records with respect to, this Contract will not
constitute a breach of this Section. 
  

	 	10.16	Representations and Authority. Each Party represents to the other Party as of the Effective Date: (i) there are no suits, proceedings, judgments, or
orders by or before any governmental authority that materially adversely affect its ability to perform this Contract or the rights of the other Parties under this Contract; (ii) it is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, and it has the legal right, power and authority and is qualified to conduct its business, and to execute and deliver this Contract and perform its obligations under this Contract; (iii) the making
and performance by it of this Contract is within its powers, and has been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part; (iv) this Contract constitutes a legal, valid, and binding act and obligation of it, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, and other laws affecting creditor’s rights generally, and with regard to equitable remedies, to the discretion of the court before which proceedings to obtain same
may be pending; and (v) there are no bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or other arrangement proceedings pending or being contemplated by it. Producers and Gatherer jointly acknowledge and agree that (a) the movement of
Dedicated Gas on the System under this Contract constitutes (and is intended to constitute for purposes of all applicable laws in effect in each state) a movement of the Dedicated Gas that is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission pursuant to the Natural Gas Act [15 US Code § 717, et seq.] or Natural Gas Policy Act Section 311 [15 US Code § 3371], (b) the fees have been freely negotiated and agreed upon as a result of good
faith negotiations and are not discriminatory or preferential, but are just, fair, and reasonable in light of the Parties’ respective covenants and undertakings in this Contract during the term of this Contract, and (c) neither Producers
nor Gatherer had an unfair advantage over the other during the negotiation of this Contract.

	 	10.17	Good Faith Performance. Without expanding the application of the Texas Business & Commerce Code to this Contract, should it apply at all, the
Parties expressly agree to perform and enforce this Contract in a manner consistent with the obligation of good faith which Section 1.304 of the Texas Business & Commerce Code imposes on contracts to which it does apply, with the
understandings and limitations that (a) it will not be a violation of this provision to take a position or action, or to fail to act, in circumstances which benefit only one Party or work to the detriment of the other; (b) the Parties will
not under any circumstances be deemed to have fiduciary duties to each other or to have any kind of special relationship of trust or confidence, all of which is expressly disclaimed; (c) a Party claiming that the other Party violated this
provision has the burden to establish that the other Party acted in bad faith and unfairly; and (d) a Party’s good faith and fairness will be judged based only on what they expressly knew or reasonably anticipated at the time of such
position, action, or omission. 

  

	 	10.18	Changes in Laws. If following the date of this Contract there is a change in any law, regulation, or legal requirement affecting the Services provided by
Gatherer which, in the reasonable judgment of Gatherer, materially adversely affects the economics for Gatherer of the Services provided under this Contract, then, upon notice by Gatherer to Producers, the Parties will as promptly as practicable
meet to negotiate in good faith such changes to the terms of this Contract as may be necessary or appropriate to preserve and continue for the Parties the rights and benefits originally contemplated for the Parties by this Contract, with such
amendment to this Contract to be effective no later than the effective date of such new or amended applicable law. Change in law, regulation, or legal requirement will not include (i) any changes relating to taxes or assessments which are
addressed in Section 4.2 of these General Terms, (ii) any changes relating to income and any real or personal property or other ad valorem tax or (iii) those applying to business or the public in general that do not have a
disproportionate impact on the Services provided by Gatherer.

(a) with respect to a Person, the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other beneficial interests, by
contract or otherwise and (b) with respect to Gas, Gas owned by Persons other than Producers or their Affiliates, and produced from the Dedicated Properties through Dedicated Wells during the period that one or more of Producers or their

“Dedicated Properties” means all interests of Producers and their Affiliates (and their successors and
assigns) in oil, gas, or mineral leases, contractual agreements, or other legal rights, insofar, and only insofar, as such interests (i) cover lands located within the Dedication Area and (ii) relate to the Applicable Formations, whether
owned on the Effective Date or acquired after the Effective Date, save and except as reserved and excepted as described in Section 5 below. 
 “Dedicated Wells” means all oil and gas wells, whether existing on or drilled after or acquired after the Effective Date, located on the surface of the lands within the Dedication Area,

definition or description of the Haynesville zone or formation made by the State of Louisiana Office of Conservation for the relevant well, lease, unit or field, as may be amended from time to time. The Haynesville zone or formation typically lies
below the Cotton Valley zone or formation and above the Smackover zone or formation and, for purposes of the Contract, is considered separate from any similarly situated Bossier zone or formation which may lie above the Haynesville zone or
formation. This definition of Haynesville Shale Formation will specifically exclude any sub-surface interval defined as the Cotton Valley zone or formation, with primary reference made to any particularized definition or description of the Cotton
Valley zone or formation made by the State of Louisiana Office of Conservation for the relevant well, lease, unit or field, as may be amended from time to time.

 2. Notice. Notice is
hereby given of the existence of the Contract and all of its terms, provisions, covenants and conditions to the same extent as if the Contract was fully set forth herein. Certain provisions of the Contract are summarized in Sections 3 through

transferred Dedicated Properties being made subject to the dedication obligation and the Contract and (b) at the time of any such transfer, the transferor will provide to Gatherer the transferee’s acknowledgement of the dedication and the
Contract, including Gatherer’s right to file memoranda of the Contract and the transferee’s acknowledgment in local land records; and (vii) covenanted to take such further action and to execute and deliver all such other agreements,
certificates, instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Gatherer in furtherance of the intent of and to accomplish and evidence the purposes of the Contract and the dedication, including providing such information
and making such additional, revised, or amended memoranda of the Contract and any other filings to meet the requirements of any state, county, parish, or other jurisdiction for filing and with respect to the validity and enforceability of the
dedication.

 EXHIBIT E 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE 
 The Parties will attempt to resolve any dispute promptly by negotiation between executives who have authority to settle the controversy and who are at a comparable or higher level of management than the
persons who have been involved in the negotiation of this Contract. Any Party may give another Party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within fifteen (15) Days after delivery of the notice, the
receiving Party will submit to such other Party a written response. The notice and response will include (i) a statement of that Party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (ii) the name and title of the
executive who will represent that Party and of any other person who will accompany the executive. Within thirty (30) Days after delivery of the initial notice, the executives of the Parties involved in a dispute will meet at a
mutually-acceptable time and place, and thereafter continue to meet as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to use their good faith and reasonable efforts to attempt to resolve the dispute. All negotiations pursuant to this clause will be
confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the Parties have not resolved the dispute within sixty (60) Days after the initial Notice, either Party may pursue any
remedies available to it in respect of such dispute, subject to Section 10.1 of the General Terms.
