 For purposes of this Section 5.2.10, a “Change of Control” shall occur when: (i) the OP is no longer the sole member of Borrower, (ii) Spirit General OP Holdings, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“Spirit Holdings”) is no longer the sole general partner of the OP, (iii) the REIT’s direct interest in the OP and/or its indirect interest in Borrower falls below 51%, (iv) the

(12) month period immediately prior to the REIT Share Transfer, fail to represent a majority of the Board of Directors of the REIT as of the date of completion of the REIT Share Transfer and for a period of six (6) months
following the REIT Share Transfer, subject to the terms of the last sentence of this paragraph, or (vii) if the REIT enters into a merger, consolidation or other business combination, or a sale of all or substantially all of the REIT’s
assets and/or ownership interests which results in the REIT or the OP not being the surviving entity or Borrower otherwise no longer being controlled by the REIT, or (viii) there is any other change of Control of Borrower, Guarantor, any
Principal or the Property, which is not otherwise permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents or this Agreement. For purposes of determining the occurrence of (vi) above, the following shall be expressly

of the REIT) of the board of directors of the REIT then in office. 
 In addition to the occurrence of any of the
foregoing events causing a “Change of Control,” the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, without first having obtained the prior written consent of Lender, shall also constitute an Event of Default under
Section 8.1(a)(iv) of the Loan Agreement and an event for which Borrower shall be personally liable for the entire Debt under Section 9.4(c) of the Loan Agreement and Guarantor shall be personally liable for the entire Debt under the terms

 8. Borrower Confirmation of Loan
Documents. Neither the consummation of the Requested Actions nor anything contained herein shall limit, impair, terminate or revoke the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, and such obligations shall continue in full force and
effect in accordance with the respective terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, as modified hereby. Borrower hereby ratifies and agrees to pay when due all sums due or to become due or owing under the Note, the Security Instrument, the Loan
Agreement or the other Loan Documents and shall hereafter faithfully perform all of its obligations under and be bound by all of the provisions of the Loan Documents, as modified hereby, and hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of its obligations and
liabilities under the Note, the Security Instrument, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as modified hereby. 
 9.
Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity. 
 (a) Confirmation of Existing Guarantor. Neither the consummation of the
Requested Actions nor anything contained herein shall limit, impair, terminate or revoke the obligations of Existing Guarantor under the Guaranty or under the Environmental Indemnity. The Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity shall continue in
full force and effect in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity. Existing Guarantor hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of its 

  
 14 

 
obligations and liabilities under the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity. The Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity constitute the valid, legally binding obligation of Existing
Guarantor, enforceable against Existing Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms. By Existing Guarantor’s execution hereof, Existing Guarantor waives and releases any and all defenses, affirmative defenses, setoffs, claims,
counterclaims and causes of action of any kind or nature which Existing Guarantor has asserted, or might assert, against any of Lender Parties (as hereinafter defined) which in any way relate to or arise out of the Guaranty or the Environmental
Indemnity or any of the other Loan Documents. 
 (b) Assumption by New Guarantor of Guaranty and Environmental
Indemnity. On the Offering Date, New Guarantor assumes on a joint and several basis with Existing Guarantor and agrees to be liable and responsible for and bound by all of Existing Guarantor’s obligations, agreements and liabilities,
including but not limited to the jury waiver and other waivers set forth therein, under the Guaranty, as amended by the terms hereof, and the Environmental Indemnity as fully and completely as if New Guarantor had originally executed and delivered
such Guaranty, as amended by the terms hereof, and the Environmental Indemnity, as an Indemnitor thereunder. New Guarantor further agrees to pay, perform and discharge each and every obligation of payment and performance of any guarantor under,
pursuant to and as set forth in the Guaranty, as amended by the terms hereof, and the Environmental Indemnity at the time, in the manner and otherwise in all respects as therein provided. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation,
such assumption and agreement of New Guarantor is not limited to obligations, agreements and liabilities arising after the date of this Agreement but relates to and includes all obligations, agreements and liabilities of “Guarantor” under
or in connection with the Guaranty, as amended by the terms hereof, and the Environmental Indemnity without regard to the time period with respect to which the same arose or may hereafter arise, whether prior to, on or as of, or after the date of
this Agreement. New Guarantor’s assumption of the Guaranty, as amended by the terms hereof, and the Environmental Indemnity on a joint and several basis with Existing Guarantor set forth herein (i) is absolute, unconditional and is
not subject to any defenses, waivers, claims or offsets arising prior to the date of this Agreement, and (ii) shall not be affected or impaired by any agreement, condition, statement or representation of any person or entity other than any
written agreement, condition, statement or representation of Lender executed concurrently herewith or after the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing assumption of the Guaranty by New Guarantor on a joint and several basis
with Existing Guarantor, New Guarantor, on the Offering Date, specifically ratifies, reaffirms and confirms the obligations, warranties and representations of “Guarantor” as set forth in the Guaranty, as amended by the terms hereof, and as
an “Indemnitor” as set forth is the Environmental Indemnity. 
 10. Same Indebtedness; Priority of Liens Not
Affected. This Agreement and the execution of the other documents required to be executed in connection herewith do not constitute the creation of a new debt or the extinguishment of the debt evidenced by the Loan Documents, nor will they in any
way affect or impair the liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents. Borrower agrees that the lien and security interests created by the Security Instrument continue to be in full force and effect, unaffected and unimpaired by this
Agreement and that said liens and security interests shall so continue in their perfection and priority until the Indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents is fully discharged. 

  
 15 

 11. Release and Covenant Not to Sue. Each of Borrower, Existing Guarantor and New
Guarantor on behalf of itself and its affiliates, heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, “Releasing Parties”), hereby releases and forever discharges Lender, any trustee of the Loan, any servicer of the Loan, each of their
respective predecessors-in-interest and successors and assigns, together with the officers, directors, partners, employees, investors, certificate holders and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Lender Parties”),
from all debts, accountings, bonds, warranties, representations, covenants, promises, contracts, controversies, agreements, claims, damages, judgments, executions, actions, inactions, liabilities, demands or causes of action of any nature, at law or
in equity, known or unknown, which any Releasing Party now has by reason of any cause, matter, or thing through and including the date hereof relating in any manner whatsoever to matters arising out of: (a) the Loan, including, without
limitation, its funding, administration and servicing; (b) the Loan Documents; (c) the Property; (d) any reserve and/or escrow balances held by Lender or any servicers of the Loan; or (e) the Requested Actions. Each of Borrower,
Existing Guarantor and New Guarantor, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, heirs, successors and assigns, covenants and agrees never to institute or cause to be instituted or continue prosecution of any suit or other form of action or proceeding
of any kind or nature whatsoever against any of the Lender Parties by reason of or in connection with any of the foregoing matters, claims or causes of action. 
 12. Indemnity. Borrower and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to reimburse, defend, indemnify and hold Lender Parties harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, damages,
penalties, reasonable expenditures, losses or charges (including, but not limited to, all reasonable legal fees and court costs), which may now or in the future be undertaken, suffered, paid, awarded, assessed or otherwise incurred as a result of or
arising out of any fraudulent conduct of Borrower, Existing Guarantor or New Guarantor in connection with this Agreement or of any breach of any of the representations or warranties made in Section 2(d) or 2(k) hereof in any material respect.

 13. Costs and Expenses. The following fees, costs and expenses charged or incurred by Lender as a result of the Loan
to Borrower in connection with the Requested Actions, this Agreement and the actions contemplated hereunder shall be the obligations of Borrower and paid by Borrower on or prior to the consummation of the Requested Actions (except as otherwise
provided herein): (i) reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Lender’s counsel or Servicer’s counsel; (ii) any mortgage, intangible and like taxes which may be due and payable on account of the Loan; (iii) any title
search fees and premiums for title endorsements required by Lender; (iv) all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender or Servicer, including but not limited to, Lender’s administration fees; (v) a fee in the amount of one
percent (1.0%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Note, half of which was paid to Lender by Borrower prior to the date hereof and the remainder of which shall be paid by Borrower on or before the consummation of the Requested Actions);
and (vi) rating agency fees and expenses, if applicable (collectively, the “Costs and Expenses”). The effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to and conditioned upon payment by Borrower of the foregoing fees, costs and expenses. If
this Agreement becomes null and void, pursuant to Section 3 above, or otherwise, Borrower shall pay the amounts set forth in subsections (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (vi), but shall not have any obligation to pay the remaining half of the amount
set forth in subsection (v) above. To the extent that Borrower fails to satisfy any obligation under this Section 13, Guarantor shall be liable for any and all Costs and Expenses. 

  
 16 

 14. Notices. With respect to all notices or other written communications hereunder,
such notice or written communication shall be given, and shall be deemed effective, pursuant to Section 10.6 of the Loan Agreement, as amended by this Agreement. 
 15. Loan Documents. This Agreement and all other documents executed in connection herewith shall each constitute a Loan Document for all purposes under the Note, the Security Instrument, the Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. All references in each of the Loan Documents to the Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to the Loan Agreement as amended by this Agreement and as the same may be further amended, restated,
replaced, supplemented, renewed, extended or otherwise modified from time to time. All references in each of the Loan Documents to the Loan Documents or to any particular Loan Document shall be deemed to be a reference to such Loan Documents as
amended by this Agreement, and as the same may be further amended, restated, replaced, supplemented, renewed, extended or otherwise modified from time to time. All references in the Loan Documents to a particular section of a Loan Document shall be
deemed to be a reference to the particular section of such Loan Document as amended by this Agreement, and as the same may be further amended, restated, replaced, supplemented, renewed, extended or otherwise modified from time to time. 

16. No Other Amendments. Except as expressly amended hereby, each Original Loan Document shall remain in full force and effect in
accordance with its terms and provisions, without any waiver, amendment or modification of any provision thereof. 
 17. No
Further Modifications. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or otherwise changed in any manner except by a writing executed by all of the parties hereto. 
 18. Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to have been modified to the extent necessary to make it valid,
legal and enforceable. The validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 19. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their administrators, executors, and successors and assigns; provided,
however, that each of Borrower and each Guarantor may only assign its rights hereunder to the extent permitted in the Loan Documents.

effect on (i) the business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, earnings, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, considered as one

Customers”). The Partnership’s relations with its Material Suppliers and Material Customers are good, and the Partnership has received no notice, and is not otherwise aware, of any anticipated dispute with any of its Material Suppliers
and Material Customers, or that (i) any Material Supplier intends to cease or reduce its supply to the Partnership or (ii) any Material Customer intends to cease or reduce its purchases from the Partnership.

“reportable transaction” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4). In the event the Issuers determine to take any action inconsistent with such intention, they will promptly notify the Initial Purchasers thereof.
Accordingly, the Issuers acknowledge that each Initial Purchaser may treat its purchase and resale of Notes as part of a transaction that is subject to Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112-1, and such Initial Purchaser will maintain the lists
and other records required by such Treasury Regulation.

or Affiliate of the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation

by such persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the
mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of
anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA; and the Issuers, their
subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Issuers, their Affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to
continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith.

the USA PATRIOT Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no
action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of the
Issuers, threatened. 
 (sss) None of the Issuers, any of their subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Issuers,
any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury
(“OFAC”); and the Issuers will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the Offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the
purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC. 

(ttt) The Issuers have not taken any action or omitted to take any action (such as issuing any press release relating to
any securities without an appropriate legend) which may result in the loss by the Initial Purchasers of the ability to rely on any stabilization safe harbor provided by the Financial Services Authority under the Financial Services and Markets Act
2000 (the “FSMA”). The Issuers have been informed of the guidance relating to stabilization provided by the Financial Services Authority, in particular in Section MAR 2 Annex 2G of the Financial Services Handbook. 

Each certificate signed by any officer of the Issuers or the Guarantors and delivered to the Initial Purchasers or to counsel for the Initial Purchasers
shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Issuers or the Guarantors, as the case may be, to the Initial Purchasers as to the matters covered thereby.

extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 7. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and such indemnified party notifies the relevant indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and,
to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the named parties in any such action
(including impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have concluded, based on advice of outside counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other
indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them,
the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf
of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from an indemnifying party to an indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, such
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof, unless (i) such indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence or (ii) such indemnifying party does not promptly retain counsel satisfactory to such
indemnified party or (iii) such indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for such indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. After such notice from an indemnifying party to an indemnified party, such
indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the written consent of such indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an
indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by (i), (ii) or (iii) of the third sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees
that it shall be liable for any settlement of 

  
 -28-

 
any proceeding effected without its written consent if (x) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and
(y) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle
or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party or any other person that may be
entitled to indemnification hereunder is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party and such other persons from all liability arising
out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. 
 (d) (i) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the
preceding paragraphs of this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses
incurred in connection with defending or investigating any action or claim) (or actions in respect thereof) (“Losses”), the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in order to provide
for just and equitable contribution, agree to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses to which the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, may be
subject, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation
provided by the foregoing clause (i) is unavailable for any reason, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in connection with the
statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses. The relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers from the Issuers in connection with the purchase of the Notes
hereunder as set forth in the Offering Memorandum. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers, the parties’ intent, relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and
any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method
of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), the Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the
aggregate exceed the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers from the Issuers in connection with the purchase of the Notes hereunder, and no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person,

  
 -29-

 
if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each other person listed in Section 7(a)
hereof shall have the same rights to contribution as an Initial Purchaser, and each affiliate, director or officer of the Issuers or any Guarantor and each person, if any, who controls the Issuers within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers and the Guarantors. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7(d) are several and not joint.

 (e) The obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any obligations or
liabilities which the Issuers and the Guarantors may otherwise have and the obligations of the Initial Purchasers under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any obligations or liabilities which the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have.

 8. Survival. The respective representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements of
the Issuers, the Guarantors, their respective officers, and the Initial Purchasers set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of
(i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Issuers, the Guarantors, their respective officers or directors or any controlling person referred to in Section 7 hereof or the Initial Purchasers and (ii) delivery of and payment for
the Notes. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in Sections 5, 7 and Sections 10-15 hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

 9. Termination. (a)The Initial Purchasers may terminate this Agreement with respect to the Notes by notice to the
Issuers at any time on or prior to the Closing Date in the event that the Issuers shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform in any material respect all obligations and satisfy in any material respect all conditions on their part to be
performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or if, at or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ National Market or in the over-the-counter market, or trading in any
securities of the Issuers on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market, shall have been suspended or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or market; (ii) there has been a material disruption in
commercial banking or securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States; (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New York, North Carolina or United States authorities or (iv) there shall have been
(A) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, (B) an outbreak or escalation of any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States, (C) the occurrence of any other
calamity or crisis involving the United States or (D) any change in general economic, political or financial conditions which has an effect on the U.S. financial markets that, in the case of any event described in this clause (iv), in the sole
judgment of Wells Fargo, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes as disclosed in the Preliminary Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum, exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto.

 (b) Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability of any party to any other party
except as provided in Sections 5 and 7 hereof. 

  
 -30-

 10. Information Supplied by Initial Purchasers. The statements set forth in the
second and fourth sentences of the third paragraph, the second sentence of the fifth paragraph and the sixth paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, to the extent such
statements relate to the Initial Purchasers, constitute the only information furnished by the Initial Purchasers to the Issuers for the purposes of Sections 1(a) and 7 hereof. 
 11. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, if sent to any of the Initial Purchasers, shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission and confirmed in writing to
Wells Fargo Securities, One Wells Fargo Center, 301 South College Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28288-0604, Attention: Transaction Management Department, with a copy to Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, 80 Pine Street, New
York, New York 10005, Attention: Noah B. Newitz, and if sent to the Issuers, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission and confirmed in writing to the Issuers at Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P., Westpointe Corporate Center
One, 1550 Coraopolis Heights, Moon Township, Pennsylvania 15108, Attention: Trey Karlovich, with a copy to Ledgewood, 1900 Market Street, Suite 750, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, Attention: Lisa A Ernst. 

12. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Issuers and the
Guarantors and their respective successors and legal representatives, and nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect
of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Initial Purchasers, the Issuers and the Guarantors and their
respective successors and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, except that (i) the indemnities of the Issuers contained in Section 7 of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of any person or persons who
control an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and (ii) the indemnities of the Initial Purchasers contained in Section 7 of this Agreement shall also be for
the benefit of the affiliates, directors and officers of the Issuers and the Guarantors, and any person or persons who control the Issuers or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act. No purchaser of Notes from an Initial Purchasers shall be deemed a successor to such Initial Purchaser because of such purchase. 
 13. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. 
 14. Submission to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) Any claim, controversy or dispute relating to or arising out of this Agreement (“Claim”),
directly or indirectly, may be commenced, prosecuted or continued in any court of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which courts shall have
exclusive jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters, and each Issuer, each Initial Purchaser and each of the Subsidiaries and Guarantors consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect thereto.

  
 -31-

 (b) Each party agrees that any service of process or other legal summons in connection with
any Proceeding may be served on it by mailing a copy thereof by registered mail, or a form of mail substantially equivalent thereto, postage prepaid, addressed to the served party at its address as provided for in Section 11 hereof. Nothing in
this Section shall affect the right of the parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 (c) Each Issuer (on
its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its stockholders, partners and affiliates), each Initial Purchaser and each of the Subsidiaries and Guarantors waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each Issuer and each of the Subsidiaries and Guarantors agree that a final judgment in any such proceeding brought in any such
court shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in any other courts in the jurisdiction of which it is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment. 
 15. Defaulting Initial Purchasers. If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be
obligated to purchase the Notes that such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date (the “Remaining Notes”) in the respective proportions that the principal amount of the
Notes set opposite the name of each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser in Schedule I hereto bears to the total number of the Notes set opposite the names of all the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in Schedule I hereto; provided,
however, that the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Notes on the Closing Date if the total amount of Notes which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to
purchase on such date exceeds 10% of the total amount of Notes to be purchased on the Closing Date. If the foregoing maximum is exceeded, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or those other purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers who so
agree, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all the Remaining Notes. If the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or other Initial Purchasers satisfactory to the Initial
Purchasers do not elect to purchase the Remaining Notes, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or the Issuers, except that the Issuers will continue to be liable for the payment of
expenses to the extent set forth herein. 
 16. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve a defaulting Initial
Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Issuers for damages caused by its default. If other purchasers are obligated or agree to purchase the Notes of a defaulting or withdrawing Initial Purchaser, the Issuers or Wells Fargo may postpone the
Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes in the Transaction Documents or in any other document or arrangement that, in the opinion of counsel for the Issuers or Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, may be
necessary. 
 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 FORM OF OPINION OF LEDGEWOOD LAW FIRM 
 The opinion of Ledgewood, P.C. to be

B. The Finance Co has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction
of its incorporation. 
 C. The Partnership and Finance Co are duly qualified to do business and are in good standing under the
laws of each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Memorandum, to enter into the Transaction Documents and to carry out its obligations thereunder.

Partnership and each other Guarantor has been duly organized, is validly existing as a limited liability company or limited partnership in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, has the entity power and authority to own
its property and to conduct its business as described in the Offering Memorandum and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property
requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the issued equity interests of each subsidiary of the Partnership have been duly and
validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, and are owned directly by the Partnership, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims (A) in respect of which a financing statement under the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of Delaware or Oklahoma or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania naming the applicable owner of such Subsidiary as debtor is on file in the office of the Secretary of State of Delaware or Oklahoma or the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, or (B) otherwise known to such counsel, without independent investigation, other than those created by or arising under the Credit Facility, the Delaware LLC Act, the DGCL, the Pennsylvania Limited Liability Company Act, or the
Oklahoma Limited Liability Company Act. 
 F. To such counsel’s best knowledge such counsel does not know of any legal or

 H. Each of the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by, and is a valid and binding agreement of, each Issuer and each Guarantor party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally
and general principles of equity and except as rights to indemnification and contribution under the Registration Rights Agreement may be limited under applicable law. 
 I. The Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed, endorsed and delivered and are valid and binding agreements of each Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable

will be valid and binding obligations of the Issuers, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity, and will be
entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 K. The Exchange Securities have been duly
authorized by the Issuers and, if any are issued, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and Registration Rights Agreement and delivered to the noteholders in exchange for the Notes in accordance with the
terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Issuers, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and
general principles of equity, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 L.
The statements in, or incorporated by reference into, the Offering Memorandum under the captions “Risk Factors — The covenants in the indenture governing the notes impose, and covenants contained in agreements governing
indebtedness we incur in the future may impose, restrictions that may limit our operating and financial flexibility,” “Risk Factors — The subsidiary guarantees could be deemed fraudulent conveyances under certain
circumstances, and a court may try to subordinate or void the subsidiary guarantees,” “Description of Other Indebtedness,” “Description of Notes,” “Exchange Offer; Registration Rights” and “Notice to
Investors” and the statements in the documents incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum under the captions “Business”, “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance” “Executive Compensation,”
“Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence,” insofar as such statements constitute summaries of legal matters or documents, fairly summarize in all material respects such matters or documents. 

M. The statements in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences,”
insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the United States federal tax laws referred to therein, are accurate and fairly summarize in all material respects the United States federal tax laws referred to therein. 

  
 Ex. A-2

 N. Based upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Issuers in Sections
1(hhh), 1(iii), 1(jjj) and 1(kkk), 4(g), 4(h), 4(i) and 4(j) of the Purchase Agreement and of the Initial Purchasers in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement, it is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes to the
Initial Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement or in connection with the initial resale of such Notes by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement to register the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933 or to
qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, it being understood that no opinion is expressed as to any subsequent resale of any Notes. 
 O. The execution and delivery by each Issuer of, and the performance by each Issuer and each Guarantor of its obligations under, the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement
and the Notes will not contravene the certificate of incorporation, operating agreement or by-laws of any Issuer or any provision of applicable law or any agreement or other instrument binding upon any Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or any
judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over any Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, and no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency is
required for the performance by the Issuers and their respective subsidiaries and each other Guarantor of their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Notes, except such as may be
required by the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes and by Federal and state securities laws with respect to the obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under the Registration
Rights Agreement. 
 P. None of the Issuers nor any Guarantor is, nor after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Notes
and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Offering Memorandum will be, an “investment company,” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. 
 Q. The Preliminary Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum comply as to form in all material respects
with requirements of Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933 (except for the financial statements and notes and financial schedules and other financial and accounting data contained or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel
expresses no opinion). To the best knowledge of such counsel, there are no contracts or other documents that would be required by the Securities Act to be disclosed in a prospectus were the Notes being issued and sold in a public offering registered
on Form S-3 under the Securities Act that are not so disclosed in the Preliminary Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum. 
 R.
The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum at the time they were filed with the Commission complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. 

  
 Ex. A-3

 In addition, Ledgewood, P.C. shall include in its opinion or a separate letter the following
language: 
 In our capacity as counsel to the Issuers, we have examined a copy of the Offering Memorandum
(including the documents incorporated by reference therein). We have also reviewed and participated in discussions concerning the preparation of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum with certain officers and employees of the
Partnership, with its auditors and with representatives of and counsel to the Initial Purchasers. The limitations inherent in the independent verification of factual matters and in the role of outside counsel are such, however, that we cannot and do
not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of any of the statements made in the Offering Memorandum, except as set forth in paragraphs L and M of our opinion addressed to you, dated the date hereof. 

Subject to the limitations set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, we advise you that, on the basis of the
information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, no facts came to our attention which give us reason to believe that the Offering Memorandum (including the documents incorporated by reference therein) (other than the
financial statements and schedules and other financial data included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we have not been requested to express a view) as of the Time of Sale and as of the date hereof and the Final Memorandum (other than the
financial statements and schedules and other financial data included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we have not been requested to express a view), as of its date or the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
