	 	(B)	Downward by the following: 

  

	 	(1)	The amount of all proceeds and revenues relating to the Seller Property received by Seller to the extent such proceeds and revenues are allocable under GAAP to the
period from and after the Calculation Date; 

  

	 	(2)	The amount by which any Imbalance Payables exceeds any Imbalance Receivables as of the Calculation Date; and 

 

	 	(3)	The amount of all accrued paid time-off due to any Transferred Employees as of the Calculation Date which is assumed by Buyer as set forth in Section 25(b) below.

  

	 	(iii)	Not later than three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Preliminary Settlement
Statement”) setting forth the adjustments to the Base Purchase Price and the calculation, in reasonable detail, of the Closing Purchase Price. Prior to delivery of the Preliminary Settlement Statement, Seller shall consult with Buyer as to
the contents thereof and shall negotiate with Buyer in good faith as to any modifications that Buyer proposes to make to the Preliminary Settlement Statement. The Closing Purchase Price payable at the Closing will be the amount set forth in the
Preliminary Settlement Statement. 

  

 -11- 

	 	(iv)	Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Post-Closing Settlement Statement”) setting
forth in reasonable detail any changes to the Preliminary Settlement Statement, each adjustment or payment that was not finally determined as of the Closing Date, the calculation of such adjustments and a proposed Final Purchase Price. Seller shall
provide reasonable supporting documentation with the Post-Closing Settlement Statement. Buyer shall have thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Post-Closing Settlement Statement to object to any amounts contained therein by
delivering a dispute notice (“Buyer’s Dispute Notice”) to Seller indicating any amounts disputed by Buyer contained in the Post-Closing Settlement Statement, and Seller and Buyer shall use good faith efforts to agree on any
such disputed amounts. If Buyer does not deliver a Buyer’s Dispute Notice by such date, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Post-Closing Settlement Statement and the calculation of the Final Purchase Price, and Buyer or Seller, as
applicable, shall pay the other Party the amount owed to such other Party as determined in the Post-Closing Settlement Statement. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on any such disputed amounts within ten (10) days after Buyer’s
delivery of Buyer’s Dispute Notice, then each Party shall deliver to Deloitte Touche LLP (or if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve, another nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed on by the Parties; the accounting firm
ultimately chosen, the “Accountants”) the Preliminary Settlement Statement, Post-Closing Settlement Statement, Buyer Dispute Notice and such work papers and other reports and information relating to the disputed matter(s) as the
Accountants may request and shall be afforded the opportunity to discuss the disputed matter(s) with the Accountants. If such dispute is submitted to the Accountants and a value has been assigned by both Buyer and Seller to any disputed amount that
remains in dispute, then the Parties shall instruct the Accountants not to assign a value to such disputed item that is greater than the greatest value for such disputed amount claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such
disputed amount claimed by either Party. The Accountants shall have thirty (30) days to carry out a review and prepare a written statement of their determination regarding the disputed matter(s) (including a statement regarding the
Accountants’ determination of the prevailing Party in any such disputed matter) which determination shall be final and binding upon the Parties. Any fees and expenses of the Accountants incurred in resolving the disputed matter(s) shall be
borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Seller. Following the resolution of any such dispute by the Parties or by the Accountants, Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall pay the other Party the amount owed to such
other Party as determined by the Parties or the Accountants, as applicable. 

  

	 	(v)	Any post-Closing payments made under this Section 4(g) shall be made by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the
Party receiving the funds within ten (10) days of the date upon which an agreement is reached or the Final Purchase Price is otherwise established as herein provided. If, after Seller’s Post-Closing Settlement Statement is delivered to
Buyer, an invoice or other evidence of an obligation is received which under the terms of this Section 4(g) is partially the obligation of Seller and partially the obligation of Buyer, then the Parties shall consult each other and each Party
shall pay its portion of such obligation to the other Party within fifteen (15) days from the determination of the portion of the obligation due from each Party. Any disputes between the Parties with respect to such invoice, or allocation of
responsibility thereof, shall be handled with the same dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 4(g)(iv) above. 

  

 -12- 

	 	(vi)	For a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date, to the extent a Party receives revenues that are not attributable to, or pays expenditures that are
not required to be borne by, such Party in accordance with this Section 4(g) and such amount is not taken into consideration in the determination of the Closing Purchase Price or Final Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 4(g),
(A) such Party will pay over any such revenues to the other Party and (B) the other Party will reimburse such Party for any expenditures paid. 

  

	 	(vii)	The Closing Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Seller Property for tax and financial accounting purposes by the Parties on or before the Closing Date. Once the
Final Purchase Price is determined, Seller and Buyer agree that the allocation will be adjusted promptly with respect to the Seller Property in a manner that is consistent with the differences between the Closing Purchase Price and the Final
Purchase Price and the items of Seller Property to which such differences relate. Seller and Buyer agree: (A) to report the federal, state and local income and other tax consequences of the transactions contemplated hereby, and in particular to
report the information required by Section 1060(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to jointly prepare their respective Forms 8594 in a manner consistent with such allocation; and
(B) without the consent of the other Party, not to take any position inconsistent therewith upon examination of any tax return, in any refund claim, in any litigation, investigation or otherwise, except as provided by law or any final
determination of any issue relating to such allocation under Code Section 1313 or otherwise. Seller and Buyer agree that each will furnish the other a copy of its Form 8594 proposed to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service by such Party or
any affiliate thereof not less than ten (10) days prior to the filing of such form with the Internal Revenue Service. 

  

	 	(h)	Closing Documents. 

  

	 	(i)	Prior to or at Closing, Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver to the other Party counterparts of: (A) Conveyance of Pipeline Property pertaining to the Seller
Property (other than the Fee Properties) in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit F; (B) a Special Warranty Deed and Bill of Sale pertaining to the Fee Properties in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit G;
(C) one or more Assignments of Easements and Rights-of-Way pertaining to the Seller Easements in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit H; (D) a Transition Services Agreement which shall provide for a period of services
through October 31, 2010 (the “Transition Period”) in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit I; and (E) such other forms, documents, and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to transfer
to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to the Seller Property, subject to the terms of this Agreement (collectively, the “Seller Ancillary Documents”). 

 

 -13- 

	 	(ii)	In addition to the deliveries required by Section 4(h)(i), at the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer: 

 

	 	(A)	a certificate of good standing, existence, or similar document with respect to Seller issued by the appropriate governmental authority of the jurisdiction of its
formation as of a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date; 

  

	 	(B)	a certificate of the Secretary of Seller dated the Closing Date: (1) setting forth the resolutions of the member of Seller authorizing the execution and delivery
by Seller of this Agreement, the Seller Ancillary Documents and the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby, and certifying such resolutions were duly adopted and have not been rescinded or amended as of the Closing Date and
(2) attesting as to the incumbency and signature of each officer of Seller who will execute this Agreement or any Seller Ancillary Documents; and 

  

	 	(C)	(1) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer of the release and discharge of all liens and encumbrances securing any indebtedness with respect to the Seller Property
or (2) executed payoff letters, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, relating to the release and discharge of all liens and encumbrances securing any indebtedness with respect to the Seller Property, and in either case duly
executed instruments of release, partial release or termination, as applicable, in a form acceptable for filing in the appropriate public offices. 

  

	 	(iii)	In addition to the deliveries required by Section 4(h)(i), at the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller: 

 

	 	(A)	a certificate of good standing, existence, or similar document with respect to Buyer issued by the appropriate governmental authority of the jurisdiction of its
formation as of a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date; and 

  

	 	(B)	a certificate of the Secretary of Buyer dated the Closing Date: (1) setting forth the resolutions of the board of managers of Buyer authorizing the execution and
delivery by Buyer of this Agreement, the Seller Ancillary Documents and the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby, and certifying such resolutions were duly adopted and have not been rescinded or amended as of the Closing
Date and (2) attesting as to the incumbency and signature of each officer of Buyer who will execute this Agreement or any Seller Ancillary Documents. 

  

 -14- 

	 	(iv)	In addition to the deliveries required by Section 4(h)(i), at the Closing, Tristream shall deliver to Seller: 

 

	 	(A)	a certificate of good standing, existence, or similar document with respect to Tristream issued by the appropriate governmental authority of the jurisdiction of its
formation as of a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date; and 

  

	 	(B)	a certificate of the Secretary of Tristream dated the Closing Date: (1) setting forth the resolutions of the board of managers of Tristream authorizing the
execution and delivery by Tristream of this Agreement, the Seller Ancillary Documents and the consummation by Tristream of the transactions contemplated hereby, and certifying such resolutions were duly adopted and have not been rescinded or amended
as of the Closing Date and (2) attesting as to the incumbency and signature of each officer of Tristream who will execute this Agreement or any Seller Ancillary Documents. 

 

	 	(v)	Prior to Closing, Seller shall furnish to Buyer an affidavit stating Seller’s taxpayer identification number and that Seller is not a “foreign
person” as provided in Section 1445(b)(2) of the Code. 

  

	 	(i)	Third Party Consents. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents of third parties which are required to be obtained for the
assignment of the Seller Property to Buyer (the “Consents”) prior to the Closing. This obligation shall continue after the Closing with respect to any Consents that are not obtained prior to the Closing. After the Closing and prior
to obtaining the Consents, any of the Seller Properties that are not otherwise assignable or transferable, other than Excluded Contracts (each a “Non-Assigned Asset”), shall, at the option of Buyer, be deemed to be held by Seller
until such Non-Assigned Asset can be assigned (the “Holding Period”). During the Holding Period, Seller shall grant to Buyer an exclusive right and license to use each such Non-Assigned Asset and provide Buyer with the economic
benefits and risks of ownership of the Non-Assigned Assets, the intent of the Parties being to provide Buyer, to the extent the same can be reasonably done, with the same access and ability to utilize such Non-Assigned Assets as if such Non-Assigned
Assets had been included within the Seller Property. To the extent that Buyer is provided the benefits (if any) of any such Non-Assigned Asset (whether from Seller or otherwise), (i) Buyer shall perform for the benefit of any third party the
obligations of Seller arising from and after the Closing thereunder or in connection therewith and (ii) Buyer shall pay, perform and discharge, and Buyer and Tristream shall indemnify Seller against and hold Seller harmless from, all Losses of
Seller relating to such performance or failure to perform; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not include any claims arising from Seller’s failure to obtain any required Consent. Upon receipt of the Consent related to a Non-Assigned
Asset, such Non-Assigned Asset shall automatically be deemed to be part of the Seller Property without the need for any further action on the part of the Parties or any other Person and without the payment of any additional consideration, provided
that, Seller and Buyer will take or cause to be taken such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) with respect to the Non-Assigned Asset as the other Party reasonably may request, all without
further consideration. Buyer shall cooperate in good faith with Seller in connection with the pursuit of the Consents. Buyer shall pay all reasonable and customary fees to any third party for the purpose of obtaining any Consent and all reasonable
and customary costs and expenses of any third party resulting from the process of obtaining such Consents. 

  

 -15- 

	5.	Disclaimer of Warranties. 

  

	 	(a)	Condition of Seller Property. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE CONDITION OF THE SELLER PROPERTY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WHETHER ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER SHALL ACCEPT THE SELLER PROPERTY IN AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” CONDITION, WITH ALL FAULTS OR DEFECTS, BOTH PATENT AND LATENT. BUYER AND TRISTREAM HAVE MADE OR SHALL MAKE PRIOR TO CLOSING SUCH
INSPECTIONS AS BUYER AND TRISTREAM DEEM APPROPRIATE; PROVIDED THAT ANY SUCH INSPECTION SHALL NOT RELIEVE SELLER FROM ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR INDEMNIFICATION CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT FOR ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF SELLER
EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE SELLER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT THERETO, BUYER AND TRISTREAM RELEASE SELLER FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR LATENT AND PATENT FAULTS OR DEFECTS IN, OR RELATED TO, THE SELLER
PROPERTY, REGARDLESS OF HOW SUCH FAULTS WERE CAUSED OR CREATED (BY SELLER’S NEGLIGENCE, ACTIONS, OMISSIONS OR FAULT, OR OTHERWISE). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will warrant title to the Seller Property against claims arising by,
through, or under Seller, but not otherwise, and that the Seller Property is free and clear of all liens, security interests, and other encumbrances, except for Permitted Encumbrances, as defined herein. “Permitted Encumbrances”
means (i) liens, security interests and other encumbrances for taxes or governmental assessments not yet due and payable; (ii) such liens, imperfections in title, charges, easements, restrictions, encumbrances or other matters that are due
to zoning or subdivision laws or regulations (A) that do not materially and adversely affect the specific Seller Property to which they relate for the use to which they are put or the ability to transfer, assign, pledge, mortgage or otherwise
hypothecate any such Seller Property and (B) which are of a nature that would be reasonably acceptable to a prudent operator of assets and facilities related to the gathering, treating, processing, and transportation of natural gas and natural
gas liquids of a type similar to the Seller Property; (iii) mechanics’, carriers’, workers’, repairers’, landlords’, and other similar liens arising or incurred in the ordinary course of business for amounts that are
not delinquent and would not, or would not reasonably be expected to, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller Property; and (iv) such other liens, imperfections in title, charges, easements, restrictions, encumbrances or
other matters (A) that do not materially and adversely affect (x) the Seller Property, or the operations thereof, as a whole, (y) the ability to transfer, assign, pledge, mortgage or otherwise hypothecate any material components of
the Seller Property, or (z) the ability of Buyer to own, operate and maintain the Seller Property after Closing in the ordinary course of business consistent with Seller’s past practices and (B) which are of a nature that would be
reasonably acceptable to a prudent operator of assets and facilities related to the gathering, treating, processing, and transportation of natural gas and natural gas liquids of a type similar to the Seller Property. 

 

 -16- 

	 	(b)	Evaluation/Investigation. Buyer and Tristream acknowledge that Buyer is purchasing the Seller Property without relying upon any representations or warranties by
Seller concerning the condition of the Seller Property except for the express representations and warranties provided in this Agreement. In making the decision to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer and Tristream have
relied and will rely solely upon their independent investigation to determine the status of the Seller Property, the representations and warranties of Seller made in this Agreement, and the covenants and undertakings of Seller in this Agreement.

  

	 	(c)	NORM, Wastes and Other Substances. Buyer and Tristream acknowledge that the Seller Property has been used for the transportation, treating and processing of oil
and gas and that there may be petroleum, produced water, wastes, or other substances or materials located in, on or under the Seller Property or associated with the Seller Property. Equipment and sites included in the Seller Property may contain
asbestos, naturally occurring radioactive materials (“NORM”) or other Constituents of Concern. “Constituent of Concern” means any substance defined as a hazardous substance, hazardous waste, hazardous material,
pollutant or contaminant by any Environmental Law, any petroleum hydrocarbon and any degradation product of a petroleum hydrocarbon, friable asbestos, or PCBs, the handling, storage, treatment or exposure of or to which is subject to regulation
under any Environmental Law. NORM may affix or attach itself to the inside of wells, materials, and equipment as scale, or in other forms. The materials and equipment included in the Seller Property may contain NORM and other wastes or Constituents
of Concern. NORM containing material and/or other wastes or Constituents of Concern may have come in contact with various environmental media, including without limitation, water, soils or sediment. Special procedures may be required for the
assessment, remediation, removal, transportation, or disposal of environmental media, wastes, asbestos, NORM and other Constituents of Concern from the Seller Property. This Section 5(c) does not relieve or release Seller from any
representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, indemnification, or other express commitment contained in this Agreement by Seller regarding compliance with Environmental Laws and the presence or release of any Constituents of Concern.

  

 -17- 

	6.	Depreciation, Damage or Condemnation. 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to Seller’s obligations under Section 4(c)(i)(A), Buyer shall be responsible for all risk of loss with respect to, and any depreciation or change in
the condition of, the Seller Property from the Calculation Date until Closing due to ordinary wear and tear. 

  

	 	(b)	Prior to Closing, if any portion of the Seller Property is destroyed by fire or other casualty or is taken in condemnation or under right of eminent domain
(“Casualty Loss”), Seller shall promptly, and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing, notify Buyer in writing of such Casualty Loss including such information as is reasonably available (the
“Casualty Statement”). 

  

	 	(c)	Upon a Casualty Loss, Seller and Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as herein provided. If following any Casualty Loss Seller elects to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6, then Seller shall notify Buyer thereof in the Casualty Statement. If, and only if, Seller does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6, it shall notify Buyer thereof in
the Casualty Statement and the Buyer shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of the Casualty Statement to notify Seller, in writing, if the Buyer elects to proceed with the Closing or to terminate this Agreement. At
all times following the Casualty Loss, Seller shall grant Buyer reasonable access to the site of the Casualty Loss in accordance with the provisions of Section 15(b) to allow Buyer to evaluate the extent of the Casualty Loss.

  

	 	(d)	In the event either Buyer or Seller elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(c) above, Seller shall retain the Seller Property, be responsible for
the repair or replacement of any damage caused by the Casualty Loss and be entitled to retain all insurance proceeds payable as a result of such Casualty Loss.` 

 

	 	(e)	In the event neither Seller nor Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(c) above, Buyer will, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions set forth in Section 4(f), purchase the Seller Property at the Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price; provided, however, Seller will assign to Buyer the right to receive all insurance proceeds payable as a result of such
Casualty Loss. 

  

 -18- 

	7.	Seller Indemnification. 

  

	 	(a)	Definitions Relating to Indemnification Generally. 

  

	 	(i)	Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the term “Buyer Indemnitees” means Buyer, Tristream and their affiliates, and each of their
respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, shareholders, representatives, agents, employees, consultants, attorneys, successors, transferees and permitted assignees. As used in this Agreement, the term “Seller
Indemnitees” means Seller and its affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, shareholders, representatives, agents, employees, consultants, attorneys, successors, transferees and permitted
assignees. 

  

	 	(ii)	Notice and Defense, Survival of Indemnity Obligations. If any claim, loss or costs for which a Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) would be liable
to the other Party under Section 7(b) or Section 8(a) (an “Indemnified Party”) is asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Party by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable
promptness notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand, but the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 7(b) or Section 8(a), except to the extent the
Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such claim or demand is prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the above notice from the Indemnified Party (the “Notice
Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand; provided, that the Indemnified
Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not prejudicial to the
Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such claim or demand, (A) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the claimant delivers a written full and absolute release of any and all claims against the Indemnified Party and its affiliates related to such claim or demand and unless
the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (B) the Indemnified Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its written consent (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense of any such claim or demand with counsel of its own
choice and if it is determined that the claim or demand was a matter for which the Indemnifying Party is required to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense;
provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such claim or demand if indemnification is to be sought hereunder, without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7(a)(ii), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear
its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. Except as otherwise provided below, the representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 9 hereof, and Seller’s obligations to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant
to Section 7(b)(i), shall survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. The representations and warranties of Seller in Sections 9(a), 9(c), and 9(g) and 9(m)(ii) (as to title to personal property only),
and Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) with respect thereto, shall survive the Closing indefinitely. The representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 9(j), and
Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) with respect thereto, shall survive the Closing for the period of the applicable statute of limitations (plus any extension or waivers thereof). The
representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 9(l), and Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) with respect thereto, shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months
following the Closing. All covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms do not contemplate performance after the Closing and the indemnification obligations with respect thereto, shall survive for a period of six (6) months
following the Closing. All covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part subsequent to the Closing and the indemnification obligations with respect thereto, shall survive the Closing in
accordance with their terms; provided, that any such covenant or agreement which does not have an express duration shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months. Seller’s indemnification obligations pursuant to
Section 7(b)(iii) shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. The period of time a representation or warranty or covenant or agreement survives the Closing pursuant to this Section 7(a)(ii)
shall be the “Survival Period” with respect to such representation or warranty or covenant or agreement. In the event notice of any claim for indemnification under this Agreement shall have been asserted in writing within the
applicable Survival Period and such claim has not been finally resolved by the expiration of such Survival Period, the representations or warranties or covenants or agreements that are the subject of such claim shall survive, but only to the extent
of the underlying facts of the claim (so long as the facts or circumstances alleged to give rise to such claim have been specified in reasonable detail and are not based on speculative facts, circumstances or other events) as made prior to the
expiration of the Survival Period, until such claim is finally resolved. For purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement giving rise to a claim for indemnification under
Section 7(b)(i) or Section 8(a)(i), all qualifications and exceptions in the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement relating to materiality or words of similar meaning (including “Material Adverse
Effect”) or any qualification or requirement that a matter be or not be “reasonably expected to occur” or words of similar meaning should be disregarded. 

 

 -19- 

	 	(iii)	Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be net of any insurance proceeds realized by and paid to the Indemnified Party in respect of such
claim, and the amount of any Loss shall take into account any tax benefits attributable to the circumstance or event giving rise to such Loss. 

  

	 	(iv)	THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE LOSSES IN QUESTION AROSE OR RESULTED SOLELY OR IN PART FROM THE
SOLE, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT OR VIOLATION OF LAW OF OR BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY. BUYER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS STATEMENT COMPLIES WITH THE EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE AND IS
CONSPICUOUS. 

  

	 	(b)	Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing Date, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any and
all Losses (as herein defined) resulting from, arising out of, imposed upon, or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee in connection with: 

  

	 	(i)	any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement or the certificate delivered by Seller pursuant to
Section 4(h)(ii)(B); 

  

	 	(ii)	any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement; and 

 

	 	(iii)	the Excluded Property. 

 For
purposes of this Agreement, “Losses” shall mean all losses, costs, charges, expenses (including interest and penalties due and payable with respect thereto, and reasonable attorney’s fees and other professional fees and
expenses in connection with any claim, action or proceeding), obligations, liabilities, settlement payments, awards, judgments, fines, penalties, assessments, deficiencies, demands, claims, causes of action, actions or proceedings. 

 

 -20- 

	 	(c)	Buyer and Tristream each acknowledge and agree that, other than with respect to claims for fraud by Seller, claims for equitable or injunctive relief relating to any
breach of a covenant or obligation to be performed by Seller after the Closing Date, and the rights of the Parties set forth in Section 16, the indemnification provisions of Seller set forth in Section 7(b) shall be the sole and exclusive
rights and remedies of Buyer, Tristream and any Buyer Indemnitee after Closing against Seller arising out of or with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or any Losses of any kind or nature incurred by Buyer, Tristream
or any Buyer Indemnitee relating to or arising out of the Seller Property. Buyer and Tristream further acknowledge and agree that only Seller is obligated to perform under this Agreement and the indemnification obligations hereunder, and that Buyer
and Tristream shall have no recourse against Seller’s parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates, or any of Seller’s or their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, shareholders, representatives, agents, employees,
consultants, attorneys, successors, transferees and permitted assigns for obligations hereunder. WITHOUT LIMITING THE PRIOR SENTENCE, EFFECTIVE UPON THE CLOSING, BUYER AND TRISTREAM SHALL IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, RELEASE, AND DISCHARGE
SELLER AND ITS AFFILIATES FROM, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE THE SELLER INDEMNITEES UPON, ANY PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER PURSUANT TO COMMON OR STATUTORY LAW OR OTHERWISE, THAT RELATES IN ANY MANNER TO ANY BREACH BY SELLER
OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY LOSSES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE INCURRED BY BUYER, TRISTREAM OR ANY BUYER INDEMNITEE RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE SELLER PROPERTY, EXCEPT FOR BUYER’S AND TRISTREAM’S RIGHTS OF INDEMNIFICATION SET FORTH IN
SECTION 7(b); PROVIDED THAT THIS SENTENCE AND ANY LIMITATION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 7(c) SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO (i) CLAIMS FOR FRAUD BY SELLER AND (ii) CLAIMS FOR EQUITABLE OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF
ANY COVENANT OR OBLIGATION OF SELLER TO BE PERFORMED AFTER THE CLOSING DATE. 

  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Seller shall have no obligation or liability under Section 7(b)(i) of this Agreement to the
Buyer Indemnitees for any Losses arising under Section 7(b)(i) as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty unless the aggregate of all such Losses exceeds two percent (2%) of the Final Purchase Price (“Aggregate
Deductible”), and in such event, Seller’s obligation and liability with respect thereto shall be applicable only to the extent that such Losses exceed the Aggregate Deductible, and (ii) Seller shall have no obligation or liability
under Section 7(b) of this Agreement to the Buyer Indemnitees for Losses in excess of five percent (5%) of the Final Purchase Price in the aggregate. The Aggregate Deductible and the limitation of liability set forth in clause (ii) of
the preceding sentence shall not apply to any Losses and claims for indemnification arising under Section 7(b)(ii) or Section 7(b)(iii). 

  

 -21- 

	8.	Buyer Indemnification. 

  

	 	(a)	Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer and Tristream agree to jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller
Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses resulting from, arising out of, imposed upon or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee in connection with: 

  

	 	(i)	any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer or Tristream set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement, the certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant to
Section 4(h)(iii)(B) or the certificate delivered by Tristream pursuant to Section 4(h)(iv)(B);

	 	(iii)	the Assumed Liabilities. 

  

	 	(b)	Seller acknowledges and agrees that, other than with respect to claims for fraud by Buyer or Tristream, claims for equitable or injunctive relief relating to any breach
of a covenant or obligation to be performed by Buyer or Tristream after the Closing Date, and the rights of the Parties set forth in Section 16, the indemnification provisions of Buyer and Tristream set forth in Section 8(a) shall be the
sole and exclusive rights and remedies of Seller and any Seller Indemnitee after Closing against Buyer or Tristream arising out of or with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or any Losses of any kind or nature
incurred by Seller or any Seller Indemnitee relating to or arising out of the Seller Property. Seller further acknowledges and agrees that only Buyer and Tristream are obligated to perform under this Agreement and the indemnification obligations
hereunder, and that Seller shall have no recourse against, Buyer’s or Tristream’s respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, shareholders, representatives, agents, employees, consultants, attorneys, successors,
transferees and permitted assigns for obligations hereunder. WITHOUT LIMITING THE PRIOR SENTENCE, EFFECTIVE UPON THE CLOSING, SELLER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, RELEASES, AND DISCHARGES BUYER AND TRISTREAM AND THEIR AFFILIATES FROM, AND
COVENANTS NOT TO SUE THE BUYER INDEMNITEES UPON, ANY PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER PURSUANT TO COMMON OR STATUTORY LAW OR OTHERWISE, THAT RELATES IN ANY MANNER TO ANY BREACH BY BUYER OR TRISTREAM OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY
LOSSES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE INCURRED BY SELLER OR ANY SELLER INDEMNITEE RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE SELLER PROPERTY, EXCEPT FOR SELLER’S RIGHTS OF INDEMNIFICATION SET FORTH IN SECTION 8(a); PROVIDED THAT THIS SENTENCE AND ANY LIMITATION

OR TRISTREAM AFTER THE CLOSING DATE.

	9.	Seller’s Representations and Warranties. As of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (unless a specific date is set forth in such representation or
warranty, in which case such representation or warranty must be true and correct as of such specific date), Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer or Tristream as follows. 

 

	 	(a)	Organization. Seller is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly
qualified to do business and in good standing in Texas, possessing the authority to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. 

  

	 	(b)	No Conflict. Except as set forth on Schedule 9(b), the execution of this Agreement and the Seller Ancillary Documents and the consummation by Seller
of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder will not: (i) violate or conflict with any provision of its limited liability company agreement, or other governing documents; (ii) result in the breach of any term or condition of,
or constitute (with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both) a default under, or give rise (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) to any right of termination, cancellation, modification or
acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party or by which Seller or any Seller Property is otherwise bound; (iii) result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance on the Seller Property; or
(iv) violate or conflict with any judgment, decree, order, permit, law, rule, or regulation applicable to Seller or the Seller Property, except, in the instance of clause (ii), for any such breach, default, violation, termination, cancellation,

	 	(c)	Authorization. Seller has the requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Seller Ancillary Documents
and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, this Agreement has been duly executed by Seller and constitutes, and the Seller Ancillary Documents and any
other documents executed and delivered at Closing will constitute, a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except to the extent (i) such enforcement may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court
before which any proceedings therefore may be brought. 

  

 -23-

lapse of time or both would constitute a breach or default by Seller, or permit termination, modification, or acceleration, under any Assumed Contract. Except as set forth in Schedule 9(e) and to Seller’s Knowledge, no other party is in
breach or default, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a breach or default by any such other party, or permit termination, modification or acceleration under any Assumed Contract. All Assumed

as to enforceability, to the effect of general principles of equity. Seller has not waived any material rights under any Assumed Contract. For purposes of this Agreement, “Seller’s Knowledge” means the actual knowledge of Chris
Rozzell, Steven Meisel, David T. Miller and Troy Sturrock, without the requirement of further investigation.

	 	(f)	Litigation. There are no claims, actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened (i) against Seller with
respect to and affecting the Seller Property, or (ii) against Seller which would have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller. Seller is not, as it relates to the Seller Property, subject to any continuing court or administrative order, writ,

	 	(g)	Brokers. Seller is not a party to, or in any way obligated under, any contract or other agreement for the payment of any broker’s or finder’s fee in

 -25- 

	 	(k)	Pipeline Status. Except as set forth on Schedule 9(k), Seller does not own or operate any part of the Seller Property in a manner which would
(i) subject Seller or any part of the Seller Property to jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or (ii) cause Seller to be treated as a “gas utility” or “utility” under any of the laws,

Laws” means all laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, decrees or orders of any governmental authority or body governing or relating to pollution or protection of human health and safety (including worker health and safety) or the
environment (including ambient air, surface water, ground water, land surface or subsurface strata, and natural resources), including: (i) those providing liability in connection with or imposing cleanup, investigatory, removal, remediation or
regulatory compliance obligations relative to any Release or threatened Release of Constituents of Concern; and (ii) those otherwise relating to any environmental aspect of the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage,

environmental condition of any of the Seller Property. 

  

 -26- 

	 	(m)	Title, Status and Sufficiency of Seller Property. 

  

	 	(i)	Exhibit B-3 sets forth a list of each parcel of real property relating to the Eustace System in which Seller has a fee ownership interest. Seller owns and has
good and marketable title to the Fee Properties free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances and the liens identified in Schedule 9(m)(i), which will be released on or before the Closing (with respect
to the liens identified in Schedule 9(m)(i)). 

  

	 	(ii)	Seller owns and has good and marketable title to all material personal property that is used in connection with the operation of the Eustace System, including all
material portions of the Seller Property, in each case free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances and liens identified in Schedule 9(m)(ii), which will be released on or before the Closing (with
respect to the liens identified in Schedule 9(m)(ii)). 

  

	 	(iii)	Exhibit B-1 sets forth a list of each Seller Easement and also contains a complete list of all agreements and instruments evidencing the Seller Easements (the
“Real Property Agreements”). Each Real Property Agreement is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, and there have been no material modifications or amendments thereof not made available to Buyer. All payments due
thereunder prior to the date of this Agreement have been paid, and all payments due thereunder prior to the Closing Date will be paid by Seller on or before the Closing Date. Seller is not in breach of or in default under, nor has any event occurred
which, with or without giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default by Seller under any Real Property Agreement except as in each case could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller
Property, and Seller has not received any written notice from any other party to any Real Property Agreement alleging such breach or default. To Seller’s Knowledge, no other party to any Real Property Agreement is in breach of or default
thereunder, nor has any assertion been made by Seller of any such breach or defaults. 

  

 -27- 

	 	(iv)	Except as set forth in Schedule 9(m)(iv) and as provided in Section 26 or as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Seller Property, all of the continuous length of the Seller Pipeline is covered by the Real Property Agreements and Fee Properties, and the Real Property Agreements purport to be from the owners of the land covered thereby and purport to grant to
Seller (or its predecessors in title) the right to construct, operate and maintain the Eustace System in, over, under, and across such land, provided that certain licenses and permits from railroads, utilities and from the State of Texas or local
governmental authorities may not be recorded. 

  

	 	(v)	Except for the Excluded Property, the Seller Property constitutes all of the real and personal properties, or interests (including leasehold interests) therein, owned,
used or held for use by Seller exclusively in the operation of the Eustace System and are sufficient for the continued conduct of the business related thereto after the Closing in substantially the same manner as conducted by Seller prior to the
Closing. To Seller’s Knowledge, Seller has not withheld pursuant to Section 2(i), any data or information material to the ongoing operation of the Seller Property. Except as set forth in Schedule 9(m)(v), the Seller Property is
in good operating condition and repair, normal wear and tear excepted. 

  

	 	(n)	Labor and Employment. Schedule 9(n) contains a list of all Potential Employees (as defined herein) that operate, maintain or work at the Seller
Property, years of service with Seller or its affiliates, current salary, wages and benefits including accrued vacation time, bonuses and other compensation items. There are no employment agreements or non-compete agreements between Seller, or any
of its affiliates, and any of the Potential Employees. No labor union represents any of the Potential Employees and no collective bargaining is currently being negotiated by Seller, or any of its affiliates, with respect to the Potential Employees.
With respect to the Potential Employees, Seller and its affiliates are each in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations respecting employment and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment, wages and hours, immigration, and non-discrimination. There is no charge pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened against Seller, or any of its affiliates, with respect to the Potential Employees alleging unlawful
discrimination in employment practices before any court or agency and there is no charge of or proceeding with regard to any unfair labor practice or other violation of any employment law, statute, rule or regulation against Seller with respect to
the Potential Employees pending before any court or agency. 

  

 -28- 

	 	(o)	Employee Benefits. 

  

	 	(i)	Each employee benefit plan or program (and the associated trust or funding source, if any) maintained for the benefit of the current or former employees of Seller, or
its affiliates, engaged in the operation of the Seller Property or with respect to which Seller or any of its affiliates, has or may have any actual or contingent liability or with respect to which the Seller Property is or may become subject to any
claim or lien (collectively, the “Employee Plans”) has been and is currently documented, funded, operated and maintained in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and the requirements of each such Employee
Plan. Each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified or tax exempt under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations thereunder (the “Code”) or other applicable law has received and
is currently subject to and in compliance with an effective applicable favorable determination letter or other comparable document from the applicable governmental authority. 

 

	 	(ii)	Except as disclosed in Schedule 9(o), full payment has been made of all amounts that are required under the terms of each Employee Plan to be paid as
contributions, remittances and premiums with respect to all periods prior to and including the last day of the most recent fiscal year of such Employee Plan ended on or before the date of this Agreement and all periods thereafter prior to the
Closing Date, and no accumulated funding deficiency or liquidity shortfall has been incurred with respect to any such Employee Plan, whether or not waived. Neither Seller nor any of its affiliates is required to provide security to an Employee Plan
under Section 401(a)(29) of the Code or any other law. No “reportable event” (as defined in Section 4043 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and for which the 30
day notice requirement has not been waived) has occurred with respect to an Employee Plan within the last six years. 

  

	 	(iii)	Neither Seller nor any entity, trade or business (whether or not incorporated) which is treated under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code as a
single employer with Seller has any liability or obligation, and to Seller’s Knowledge, there are no facts or circumstances that might give rise to any liability or obligation, and the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any
liability or obligation, (A) for the termination, partial termination of or withdrawal from any Employee Plan under applicable law, (B) for any lien imposed under Section 302(f) of ERISA, Section 412(n) of the Code or other
applicable law, (C) for any interest payments required under Section 302(e) of ERISA, Section 412(m) of the Code or other applicable law, (D) for any excise tax imposed by Section 4971 of the Code or other applicable law,
(E) for any minimum funding contributions under Section 302(c)(11) of ERISA, Section 412(c)(11) of the Code or other applicable law, (F) for withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan under Section 4201 of ERISA, or (G) a
tax or penalty imposed under Section 4975 of the Code, Section 502(l) of ERISA or a violation of Section 406 of ERISA. 

  

 -29- 

	 	(iv)	Seller and its affiliates have, at all times, complied, and currently comply, in all material respects with the applicable continuation requirements for its welfare
benefit plans under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (“COBRA”) and other applicable laws. 

  

	 	(p)	FCC Licenses. Exhibit D sets forth a true and complete list of all Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) Licenses held by Seller
and any of Seller’s affiliates used in the operation of the Seller Property (the “Seller FCC Licenses”); and Seller has made available to Buyer a true and correct copy of each Seller FCC License. Each Seller FCC License is
validly issued and in full force and effect, and there is no action or proceeding pending before the FCC, or to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened, with respect to any Seller FCC License. No application with respect to any Seller FCC License is
currently pending with the FCC. 

  

	 	(q)	Subsequent Events. Except as set forth on Schedule 9(q) since May 31, 2010, (1) there has not been any Material Adverse Effect upon the
Seller Property; and (2) the Seller Property has been operated in all material respects only in the ordinary course of business. 

  

	 	(r)	Financial and Operational Information. 

  

	 	(i)	Schedule 9(r)(i) contains copies of the unaudited statement of revenues and expenses of the Eustace System as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2009, and as of and for the five month period ended May 31, 2010 (collectively, “Financial Information”). The Financial Information has been prepared on a consistent basis (except as may be noted therein) and presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of the Eustace System as of the dates set forth therein, except that the Financial Information does not include footnotes that would be required by GAAP. 

 

	 	(ii)	Schedule 9(r)(ii) sets forth summary historical residue natural gas sales, condensate sales, natural gas liquid sales, other hydrocarbon sales and sulfur sales
from the Seller Property for the periods January 1, 2009 through May 31, 2010. To Seller’s Knowledge as of the Closing Date, such data and information is correct and complete in all material respects with respect to such periods.

  

	10.	Buyer’s and Tristream’s Representations and Warranties. As of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (unless a specific date is set forth in such
representation or warranty, in which case such representation or warranty must be true and correct as of such specific date), Buyer and Tristream jointly and severally hereby represent and warrant to Seller as follows. 

 

 -30- 

	 	(a)	Organization. 

  

	 	(i)	Buyer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and possesses the authority to
conduct its business as it is now being conducted. 

  

	 	(ii)	Tristream is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and possesses the authority to
conduct its business as it is now being conducted. 

  

	 	(iii)	Tristream is the record and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Buyer. 

 

	 	(b)	No Conflict. The execution of this Agreement and the Seller Ancillary Documents and the consummation by Buyer and Tristream of the transactions contemplated
hereunder and under the Seller Ancillary Documents will not: (i) violate or conflict with any provision of their respective governing documents; (ii) result in the breach of any term or condition of, or terminate or constitute a default or
cause the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement or instrument to which Buyer or Tristream is a party or is otherwise bound; or (iii) subject to necessary filings with the Texas Railroad Commission, violate or conflict with any
applicable judgment, decree, order, permit, law, rule, or regulation. 

  

	 	(c)	Authorization. Buyer and Tristream each has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to enter into and, subject to necessary filings with the
Texas Railroad Commission, perform all obligations under this Agreement and the Seller Ancillary Documents. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Seller, this Agreement has been duly executed by Buyer and Tristream and
constitutes, and the Seller Ancillary Documents and any other agreement or document executed and delivered by Buyer and/or Tristream hereunder will constitute, a legal, valid, binding obligation of Buyer and Tristream enforceable against Buyer and
Tristream (as applicable) in accordance with its terms, except to the extent (i) such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, and (ii) the remedy of specific
performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefore may be brought. 

 

	 	(d)	Consents. Except as provided in Schedule 10(d) or as would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Buyer, no consent approval, order, waiver or
authorization of or by, or filing with, any other Person or entity is required to be made or obtained by Buyer or Tristream in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, or enforceability of this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions provided for in this Agreement. 

  

 -31- 

	 	(e)	Brokers. Seller does not and shall not directly or indirectly have any responsibility, liability or expense, as a result of any contract or other agreement of
Buyer or Tristream, for the payment of any broker’s or finder’s fee in connection with the origination, negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 

 

	 	(f)	Litigation. There are no claims, actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations pending or, to the actual knowledge of Kendall A. Purgason, Anthony B. Catalano
and J. Michael Urban, threatened against Buyer or Tristream. Neither Buyer nor Tristream is subject to any continuing court or administrative order, writ, injunction, or decree of any court or federal, state, municipal, or other governmental
department, commission, board, agency or instrumentality (other than general regulation and general regulatory orders). 

  

	 	(g)	Expert Status. Buyer and Tristream acknowledge that the Seller Property consists of pipeline assets that are used in connection with transporting natural gas and
other petroleum products and may contain residual amounts thereof or other hazardous substances. Buyer and Tristream each certifies that it is an expert in handling such products and the transportation thereof. Buyer and Tristream each further
represents and warrants that it has completed its due diligence, and other evaluations and assessments necessary for it to evaluate the risks involved in the transportation of such products. The foregoing representation by Buyer and Tristream shall
not in any manner relieve or release Seller from any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement and Buyer’s and Tristream’s right to indemnification based upon the representations and warranties of Seller will not be affected
by any such investigation by Buyer or Tristream. 

  

	 	(h)	HSR Act. As of the Closing Date, Tristream “controls” Buyer (within the meaning of 16 C.F.R. § 801.1(b)). As of the Closing Date, no
“person” or “entity” (as such terms are defined in 16 C.F.R. § 801.1(a)(1) and 16 C.F.R. § 801.1(a)(2)) “controls” Tristream (within the meaning of 16 C.F.R. § 801.1(b)). As of the Closing
Date, Tristream is its own “ultimate parent entity” (as defined in 16 C.F.R. § 801.1(a)(3)). As of the Closing Date, Tristream does not satisfy the size-of-person test set forth in Section 15 U.S.C.
§ 18a(a)(2)(B)(ii). The aggregate dollar value of assets acquired by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and any other acquisitions made by Buyer and/or Tristream that are required to be aggregated therewith pursuant to the rules promulgated
under the HSR Act does not exceed $253.7 million. Buyer has thus concluded, on the basis of a good faith analysis, that the filing of a Premerger Notification Report Form under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement is not required by Buyer. 

  

 -32- 

	11.	Seller Marks. Neither Buyer nor Tristream shall obtain any right, title, interest, license or any other right whatsoever to use the word
“Regency” or any trademarks containing or comprising the foregoing, or any trademark confusingly similar thereto or dilutive thereof (collectively, the “Seller Marks”). From and after the Closing, each of Buyer and
Tristream agree that it shall (a) cease using the Seller Marks in any manner, directly or indirectly, except for such limited uses as cannot be promptly terminated (e.g., signage), and to cease such limited usage of the Seller Marks as
promptly as possible after the Closing and in any event within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date and (b) remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate all Seller Marks from all Seller Property and all other materials owned,
possessed or used by Seller or its affiliates, except those Seller Property that the general public does not see (i.e., marks on a pipeline where there is no public access). The Parties agree, because damages would be an inadequate remedy,
that Seller shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any breach thereof in addition to other remedies available at law or in equity. This covenant shall survive indefinitely without limitation as to time.

  

	12.	Books and Records. 

  

	 	(a)	Records. Subject to the provisions of Section 16, Seller and its respective affiliates may retain a copy of any or all of the Records relating to the use or
ownership of Seller Property before the Closing Date. 

  

	 	(b)	Delivery and Retention of Records. On or before October 31, 2010 (or the termination of any Transition Services Agreement), Seller will make available to
Buyer for delivery all Records. Buyer and Tristream shall preserve and keep a copy of all Records that relate to the use or ownership of Seller Property before the Closing Date in Buyer’s or Tristream’s possession for a period of at least
five (5) years after the Closing Date. For a period of one (1) year after the expiration of such five-year period, before Buyer or Tristream shall dispose of any such Records, Buyer and Tristream shall give Seller at least ninety
(90) days’ prior notice to such effect, and Seller shall be given an opportunity, at its cost and expense, to remove and retain all or any part of such Records as Seller may select. If Seller does not remove the Records within such ninety
(90) day period, Buyer and Tristream may dispose of such Records. Buyer and Tristream shall provide to Seller, at no cost or expense to Seller, reasonable access to the Records that relate to the use or ownership of Seller Property before the
Closing Date as remain in Buyer’s or Tristream’s possession and reasonable access to employees of Buyer and Tristream in connection with matters relating to the Seller Property before the Closing Date and any disputes relating to this
Agreement; provided that such access will not be construed to require the disclosure of any Records that would cause the waiver of any attorney-client, work product or like privilege. 

 

	13.	Taxes. 

  

	 	(a)	Property Taxes. Seller and Buyer shall mutually agree at Closing to a proration of property taxes in respect of the Seller Property for the tax year in which
Closing occurs based on the most recent property tax information available. If such agreed upon amount differs more than twenty percent (20%) from actual property taxes payable for such year, upon request by either Party, the other Party shall
pay, or, if already paid by the overpaying Party, reimburse such requesting Party for, the difference between the agreed upon proration and the actual calculated prorated share of such taxes. 

 

 -33- 

	 	(b)	Other Taxes. Seller shall be responsible for all transfer taxes and charges (including sales taxes), and related interest or penalties, associated with the
purchase and sale of the Seller Property. 

  

	 	(c)	Exemption. The purchase and sale of the Seller Property is intended to qualify as an “occasional sale” exempt from Texas state and local sales
taxes. The Parties shall each take such actions and execute and deliver such documents, certificates, and agreements as necessary to maintain such exemptions from sales taxes on the tangible assets. 

 

	14.	Termination of Agreement. By written notice given prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated as follows: 

 

	 	(a)	by Buyer and Tristream at any time if there has been a breach or inaccuracy of Seller’s representations and warranties in this Agreement (without giving effect to
any amendment or supplement to such representations and warranties under Section 29) or a failure by Seller to perform its covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, that has prevented the satisfaction of, or would result on the
Closing Date of the failure of, any condition to the obligations of Buyer set forth in Section 4(f), provided that if such breach is of a character that it is capable of being cured, such breach has not been cured by Seller within five
(5) Business Days after written notice thereof from Buyer; 

  

	 	(b)	by Seller at any time if there has been a breach or inaccuracy of Buyer’s or Tristream’s representations and warranties in this Agreement or a failure by
Buyer or Tristream to perform their respective covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, that has prevented the satisfaction of, or would result on the Closing Date of the failure of, any condition to the obligations of Seller set forth
in Section 4(e), provided that if such breach is of a character that it is capable of being cured, such breach has not been cured by Buyer within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof from Seller; 

 

	 	(c)	by Buyer if any condition precedent set out in Section 4(f) has not been satisfied as of the fourteenth (14th) day after HSR Approval has occurred, or if
satisfaction of such a condition by such date is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Buyer to comply with its obligations under this Agreement), and Buyer has not waived such condition on or before such date;

  

	 	(d)	by Seller if any condition precedent set forth in Section 4(e) has not been satisfied as of the fourteenth (14th) day after HSR Approval has occurred, or if
satisfaction of such condition by such date is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement), and Seller has not waived such condition on or before such date;

  

 -34- 

	 	(e)	by mutual consent of the Parties as evidenced in writing signed by each of Buyer, Tristream and Seller; 

 

	 	(f)	by any Party if a final, non-appealable order, decree, ruling or injunction (other than a temporary restraining order) has been issued or any other action permanently
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been taken; 

  

	 	(g)	by any Party if the Closing Date has not occurred on or before July 31, 2010, or such later date as the Parties may agree upon; provided, however, that
(i) either Buyer and Tristream or Seller may, at its sole discretion, extend such date on one or more occasions for an aggregate period not to exceed thirty (30) days if all of the conditions to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are satisfied or capable of then being satisfied, and the sole reason that such transactions have not consummated by such date is that the conditions set forth in Sections 4(e)(iii) and 4(f)(iii) have not been
satisfied, and (ii) this right to terminate shall not be available to any Party if its breach of or failure to perform under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;

  

	 	(h)	by Seller or Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Section 6; or 

  

	 	(i)	by Seller in the event Buyer’s Lender, for any reason, fails to fund the Commitment for debt financing in the full amount of the Commitment.

 If this Agreement is terminated under this Section 14, all further obligations of the Parties under this
Agreement will terminate without further liability or obligation of any Party to the other Parties hereunder; provided, however, nothing herein shall (a) prejudice the ability of the non-breaching Party from (i) seeking damages from the
breaching Party for any actual fraud involving a knowing and intentional misrepresentation or omission of a material fact or willful or intentional breach of this Agreement, including attorneys’ fees, or (ii) pursuing any equitable rights
or remedies or (b) relieve any Party to this Agreement of liability for any breach of Section 15(b) or Section 16 of this Agreement occurring prior to any termination, or for breach of any provision of this Agreement that specifically
survives termination hereunder. The Confidentiality Agreement shall not be affected by a termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that if this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 14(i)
above, such termination shall not be considered to be a termination as a result of any breach of this Agreement by Buyer and/or Tristream, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, and neither Seller nor Buyer and/or Tristream shall have any
right to seek any damages from Buyer or Tristream, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, as applicable, as a result of such termination. 
  

	15.	Access. 

  

	 	(a)	Records. From and after the date hereof until Closing, Seller will make the Records available to Buyer and Tristream and their representatives for inspection and
review during normal business hours at Seller’s offices or in a secure electronic data room in order to permit Buyer and Tristream to perform their due diligence review. Seller shall furnish to Buyer and Tristream all Records as they may
reasonably request. Buyer and Tristream may inspect the Records and such additional information only to the extent such inspection does not violate any contractual commitment of Seller to any third party; provided, however, that Seller shall use
commercially reasonable efforts, without the expenditure of funds, to obtain the consent of any such third party to the disclosure of such information. 

 

 -35- 

	 	(b)	Seller Property. Seller grants Buyer and Tristream access to the Seller Property and to Seller’s personnel who provide services related to the Seller
Property during reasonable business hours, so Buyer and Tristream may conduct, at their sole risk and expense, their due diligence review including on-site inspections and environmental assessments of the Seller Property; provided that neither Buyer
nor Tristream may conduct any sampling, testing or other invasive analyses of the Seller Property without the prior written consent of Seller which Seller may grant or deny in its sole discretion. If Buyer, Tristream or their agents prepares an
environmental assessment of any Seller Property, Buyer or Tristream shall immediately furnish copies thereof to Seller and shall otherwise keep such assessment confidential and not share any information obtained through such assessment with any
governmental authority or third party. In connection with any on-site inspections, Buyer and Tristream (i) shall not interfere with the normal operation of the Seller Property, (ii) shall comply with Seller’s reasonable requirements
for access to the Seller Property and (iii) represent that each is adequately insured. In the event that the Closing does not occur for any reason, Buyer and Tristream shall destroy all remaining copies of such assessments. Buyer and Tristream
waive, and release Seller from, and shall indemnify Seller (and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, employees, agents and representatives) against, all Losses, including without limitation, personal injury, death and/or property damage,
arising from Buyer’s or Tristream’s activities on the Seller Property, except to the extent such liabilities or damages are caused by Seller’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or pre-existing condition of the Seller Property.
The provisions of this section shall survive termination of this Agreement. 

  

	16.	Confidentiality. 

  

	 	(a)	The terms of this Section 16 are in addition to, and are not intended to replace, that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2010, by
and between Tristream and Seller (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). All nonpublic data and information, whether written or oral, obtained from Seller in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, whether before
or after the execution of this Agreement, and data and non-privileged information generated by Tristream or Buyer in connection with the transaction, including pursuant to the access granted to it under Section 15 of this Agreement
(collectively, the “Information”), is deemed by the Parties to be confidential and proprietary to Seller. Until the Closing (and for a period of two (2) years if Closing should not occur for any reason), except as required by
law, Buyer and Tristream, and their respective managers, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives will hold in strict confidence the terms of this Agreement and all Information, except any Information which:

  

	 	(i)	at the time of disclosure to Tristream or Buyer by Seller was available to Tristream or Buyer on a nonconfidential basis; 

 

 -36- 

	 	(ii)	after disclosure to Tristream or Buyer by Seller becomes part of the public domain by publication or otherwise, except by breach of this commitment by Tristream or
Buyer; 

  

	 	(iii)	Tristream or Buyer can establish by competent proof was rightfully in its possession at the time of disclosure to Tristream or Buyer by Seller;

  

	 	(iv)	Tristream or Buyer rightfully receives from third parties who, to the knowledge of Tristream or Buyer, are not bound by a confidentiality obligation to Seller;

  

	 	(v)	is disclosed to Tristream’s or Buyer’s consultants, investors and lenders and those engaged by Tristream or Buyer to operate the Seller Property who similarly
agree in writing to protect the confidentiality of such Information and agree to use such Information only for their due diligence evaluation of the Seller Property; 

 

	 	(vi)	is developed independently by Tristream or Buyer, provided that the person or persons developing the data will not have had access to the Information; or

  

	 	(vii)	is required to be disclosed under applicable securities laws or the rules and regulations of any applicable securities exchange. 

 

	 	(b)	If Closing does not occur for any reason, Tristream and Buyer will: 

 

	 	(i)	upon request by Seller, return to Seller all copies of the Information in their possession or control; 

 

	 	(ii)	not utilize or permit the utilization of the Information to compete with Seller; and 

 

	 	(iii)	destroy any and all notes, reports, studies, data or analyses based on or generated when incorporating or analyzing the Information or exercising the access provided in
Section 15. 

  

 -37- 

	 	(c)	Following the Closing Date and for a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, Seller will not, and will cause each of its or its affiliates’
officers, directors, managers, consultants, employees and advisors not to, directly or indirectly, (i) use or disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person, any Eustace System Information (as defined below) other than: (x) to
authorized officers, directors, consultants, employees and advisors of Seller or its affiliates that have a reasonable need to know and that agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Eustace System Information in accordance with this Agreement
and (y) as reasonably required, to exercise any rights or obligations or in connection with any dispute under this Agreement or (ii) use or otherwise exploit any Eustace System Information for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone
other than Buyer. Seller will not have any obligation to keep confidential any Eustace System Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by law,
Seller shall, to the extent reasonably possible, provide Buyer with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order. For purposes of this Section 16(c), “Eustace
System Information” shall mean any confidential information that applies to the Seller Property, including, to the extent applicable, customers, customer lists, products, prices, fees, costs, trade secrets, plans, suppliers, competitors,
markets or other specialized information or proprietary matters. “Eustace System Information” does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is generally available to the
public on the Closing Date or (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Seller not otherwise permissible under this Agreement. 

 

	 	(d)	Each Party agrees that it will not have an adequate remedy at law if any other Party violates any of the terms of this Section 16. In such event, the Parties agree
that the non-breaching Party will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of the terms of Section 16, and to obtain specific enforcement of such terms.

  

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation of confidentiality, Seller may disclose, without Buyer’s or Tristream’s consent, the terms of this Agreement to the
holders of the Consents set forth on Exhibit C, to the extent necessary in order to obtain such Consents. 

  

	 	(f)	Effective immediately upon the Closing, Seller shall assign to the Buyer all rights under any confidentiality and/or nondisclosure agreements entered into in connection
with any attempt by Seller to market or sell the Seller Property that is assignable without consent. From and after the Closing, upon Buyer’s written request and at Buyer’s sole cost, Seller will reasonably cooperate with Buyer to enforce
any agreements with other Persons that are not assignable without consent with respect to the confidentiality and nondisclosure of the Eustace System Information. 

 

	17.	Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. No waiver by any Party of any breach or
default of any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default whether of a like or different character. 

 

 -38- 

	18.	Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement
will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. 

 

	19.	Construction. The headings of Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation.
“Section” refers to the corresponding Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified herein. 

  

	20.	Binding Agreement/Assignability. No Party shall assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other
Parties, and any attempt to do so will be null and void, except that a Party may assign its rights to an affiliate without such consent. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of Seller, Buyer and
Tristream and their successors and permitted assigns. No assignment of this Agreement or a Party’s rights or obligations hereunder without obtaining the prior written consent of the other Parties shall excuse, terminate, or otherwise affect the
obligations of the assigning Party to the other Parties hereunder. 

  

	21.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement and all exhibits and schedules attached hereto and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement and
understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the Parties. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an
instrument signed by all of the Parties. 

  

	22.	Cooperation. After the Closing, the Parties shall, from time to time and without further consideration, execute and deliver such instruments of transfer,
conveyance, and assignment, in addition to those specifically delivered under this Agreement, and take such other action, as reasonably necessary, to more effectively transfer, convey, and assign to and vest in each Party all rights contemplated
herein. 

  

	23.	Notices. All notices required under this Agreement shall be deemed made when in writing and personally delivered, received by overnight mail, received by

	24.	Counterparts and Conflicts. This Purchase and Sale Agreement and all exhibits and schedules attached hereto shall, in their entirety constitute the Agreement of
the parties. In the event of a conflict between a provision contained within this Purchase and Sale Agreement and a provision contained within any exhibits or schedules attached hereto, the provision in this Purchase and Sale Agreement shall
control. 

  

	25.	Employee Matters. 

  

	 	(a)	From and after the date hereof, Buyer shall have the opportunity to meet with the employees of Seller or its affiliates who work at, operate and/or maintain the Seller
Property and listed on Schedule 9(n) (the “Potential Employees”) to discuss potential employment opportunities with Buyer in connection with the Seller Property, and Buyer may make offers to any or all of the Potential
Employees. If the Closing shall occur concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall promptly make offers of employment to any or all of the Potential Employees following the Closing. All Potential Employees who are offered
employment and who accept employment with Buyer and execute and deliver the Employee Release (as herein defined) are referred to as “Transferred Employees”. All Transferred Employees will become employees of Buyer effective as of
12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Potential Employees who do not accept Buyer’s offer of employment and/or who do not execute and deliver the Employee Release as required by Buyer (an “Excluded Employee”) will not be considered
as a Transferred Employee. The offers of employment to the selected Potential Employees shall (i) remain open for acceptance until the later to occur of (A) 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, or (B) the expiration of two (2) days
after such offer is made, (ii) provide base compensation at a rate substantially similar to such Transferred Employee’s base compensation rate immediately prior to the Closing and benefits substantially similar to the benefits provided to
similarly situated employees of Buyer, (iii) provide that Buyer will pay severance to Transferred Employees that are terminated without cause within the six (6) month period immediately following the Closing Date consistent with
Buyer’s then-existing policies for other similarly situated employees, (iv) to the extent permitted under applicable laws and the terms of any plan maintained by Buyer, provide that such Transferred Employees will be eligible to
participate in Buyer’s employee benefit plans and to take into account for purposes of eligibility, vesting and for purposes of severance, vacation and sick leave benefit accrual under any Buyer benefit plan, the length of service of such
Transferred Employee with Seller prior to the Closing Date, and (v) be conditioned upon the Employee’s execution and delivery of the Employee Release. Prior to Closing (or if Closing shall occur concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement, promptly following the Closing Date), Buyer shall provide to Seller (i) a list of all Transferred Employees who have timely accepted the offer of employment, and (ii) a detailed summary of the offers made to each Potential
Employee (including each Transferred Employee), which summary shall include, to the extent applicable, the base salary, the bonus structure and benefits, including, without limitation, defined contributions plans, insurance, severance pay, paid time
off, vacation entitlement, service awards and long and short term disability. Without limiting or otherwise affecting Seller’s responsibility for Excluded Liabilities, Buyer shall not assume any of Seller’s employee benefit plans or
programs and, except as set forth in Section 25(b) below, Buyer shall have no liability or obligation with respect to the Transferred Employees and any such employee benefit plans or programs provided by Seller. Seller has or will provide to
Buyer copies of job descriptions and salary ranges for the Potential Employees. Seller shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes, rules and regulations in connection with the termination of the Transferred Employees as of the Closing Date
including, without limitation, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. Buyer shall, upon five (5) business days notice, reimburse Seller for any and all severance costs or expenses, consistent with the policies or arrangements
disclosed on Schedule 25(a), associated with Potential Employees who are not, other than for good reason (such as immigration status, failure to pass any drug test or refusal to execute and deliver an Employee Release), offered
employment by Buyer in connection with the Closing. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence or Section 25(b) below, Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any and all unpaid salary, wages, retention bonuses or other amounts due
Seller’s employees who are entitled to such benefits through the Closing Date. This Agreement (including the provisions of this Section) is a covenant between Buyer and Seller and shall not, in any manner, (i) create any contractual right
of employment for any employee of Seller or (ii) prevent, restrict, or limit Buyer, following the Closing, from modifying or terminating any of its benefit plans, programs or policies from time to time as it may deem appropriate.

  

 -40- 

	 	(b)	Buyer and Seller agree that with respect to any Potential Employee who accepts employment with Buyer as a Transferred Employee effective as of the Closing Date and to
the extent such amount is included as an adjustment to the Base Purchase Price under Section 4(g), Buyer shall assume all accrued paid time off of such Transferred Employee in connection with Buyer’s employment of such Transferred Employee
on or after the Closing Date. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, in connection with Buyer’s employment of each Transferred Employee, a release (the “Employee Release”) of any
and all claims to payments of vacation pay from Seller in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto. 

  

	 	(c)	For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, Seller will not, directly or indirectly, hire or attempt to hire or retain any Transferred Employee or
otherwise induce any such Transferred Employee to terminate his or her employment or agency with Buyer; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions shall not prevent Seller from hiring or retaining or attempting to hire or retain (i) any
such person who responds to an advertisement or other general solicitation for employment not targeted to the Transferred Employees or (ii) any Transferred Employee terminated by Buyer. 

 

	 	(d)	Buyer and Seller agree that during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on October 31, 2010, for each Transferred Employee who elects to enroll in
continuation coverage under Seller’s group health plan as permitted by COBRA, Buyer may elect to pay all such COBRA premiums through delivery of a direct payment to Seller on behalf of each such Transferred Employee. Buyer shall deliver the
first set of COBRA premiums within five (5) business days immediately following the date upon which the plan administrator of the Seller’s group health plan notifies Buyer of the name of each Transferred Employee and other qualified
beneficiary electing coverage, the date of such election for continuation coverage, the amount of the premium owed for each such Transferred Employee and other qualified beneficiary, and the period such initial premium covers. Buyer shall deliver
each future set of COBRA premiums, if any, on the last business day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month during which such coverage will be provided. 

 

 -41- 

	 	(e)	Seller shall, in connection with the Closing, cause the Regency 401(k) Plan to fully vest the individual accounts for each Transferred Employee as of the Closing Date.
Buyer shall, within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, establish a new 401(k) plan (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) and will cause that plan to accept tax-free rollovers of “eligible rollover distributions” within
the meaning of Section 402(c) of the Code. Within ten (10) business days immediately following the Closing Date, Buyer shall , upon the request of any individual listed on Schedule 25(e), make a loan to such individual in the amount
set forth on Schedule 25(e), to enable such individual to repay participant loans under the Regency 401(k) Plan. Buyer’s obligation to make any such loan shall be conditioned upon such individual executing a promissory note and such
other documentation as reasonably required by Buyer. 

  

	 	(f)	With respect to each Transferred Employee who has been approved to receive a truck allowance from Seller prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall, for a period of not
less than one (1) year following the Closing Date, provide a truck allowance to such Transferred Employee in the same amount as that provided by Seller prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to provide,
or may otherwise terminate, such allowance if: (i) the Transferred Employee receiving such allowance consents to the termination or modification of any such allowance, (ii) the employment of such Transferred Employee is terminated or
(iii) Buyer determines, due to the condition of such vehicle, that it is no longer economically practical to use the vehicle in connection with the operations of the Seller Property. 

 

	26.	Rights-of-Way. From and after the Closing, Seller shall, at Seller’s expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to acquire on behalf of Buyer any
additional rights-of-way required for the operation of the pipeline running from the Fletcher Compressor Station to the Holland Blockvalve, such additional rights-of-way being located in the following abstracts in Wood County, Texas: P. Dillsworth,
A-150; I. Simpson, A-519; S. Hatfield, A-316; and S. McDonald, A-392 (the “Fletcher Line”). Buyer agrees to promptly execute all right-of-way documents tendered by Seller to the extent that such documents are in a form and substance
consistent with Seller’s historical practice related to right-of-way acquisition for the Fletcher Line. In addition, consistent with Section 4(i) above, Seller shall solicit Consents to assignment from any landowner to the extent such
Consents are required and notify landowners of assignment to the extent that Consent is not required. Buyer shall pay all reasonable and customary fees to any landowner or third party relating to, and all reasonable and customary costs and expenses
associated with obtaining any Consents. 

  

 -42- 

	27.	Louis Dreyfus Energy Services LP Agreement. Seller is a party to that certain Natural Gas Liquids Purchase Agreement dated October 1 2008 (the “LDES
Agreement”) with Louis Dreyfus Energy Services LP (“LDES”) pursuant to which Seller is committed to sell natural gas liquids from the Seller Property. Following the Closing, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in either
obtaining a partial assignment of the LDES Agreement to Buyer or establishing an acceptable arrangement to provide Buyer with the economic benefits of the LDES Agreement, including, without limitation, rights to any linefill pursuant to the LDES
Agreement. In the event the LDES Agreement is not partially assigned to Buyer, Seller agrees (a) that upon written request of Buyer, Seller shall cause the LDES Agreement to be terminated with respect to the Seller Property upon the expiration
of the initial term or any month-to-month extension thereof, and (b) that if Seller intends to terminate the LDES Agreement with respect to any other originating facility covered thereby, Seller will give Buyer written notice thereof not less
than thirty (30) days prior to Seller’s delivery of any notice of termination to LDES. 

  

	28.	FCC Filing. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall file or cause to be filed with the FCC all appropriate applications with
respect to the transfer of control to Buyer of the Seller FCC Licenses (the “FCC Transfer Applications”). The FCC Transfer Applications and any supplemental information furnished in connection therewith shall be in substantial
compliance with the FCC rules and regulations or be responsive to a request of the FCC. Buyer and Seller shall furnish to each other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably require in connection with the
preparation, filing and prosecution of the FCC Transfer Applications. Buyer and Seller shall bear their own expenses in connection with the preparation, filing and prosecution of the FCC Transfer Applications. Buyer and Seller shall each use their
commercially reasonable efforts to prosecute the FCC Transfer Applications and shall furnish to the FCC any documents, materials or other information reasonably requested by the FCC. If the FCC Transfer Applications shall not have been approved by
final order of the FCC to the extent necessary to permit the transfer of the Seller FCC Licenses to Buyer at Closing, then upon such FCC Transfer Applications being so approved, Seller shall transfer and assign the Seller FCC Licenses to Buyer.

  

	29.	Schedules. 

  

	 	(a)	Unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms used in the Schedules shall have the respective meanings assigned in this Agreement. No disclosure in the
Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. The inclusion of any information in the Schedules
shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by Seller, in and of itself, that such information is material to or outside the ordinary course of the business or required to be disclosed on the Schedules. Each disclosure in the Schedules
shall be deemed to qualify other representations and warranties of Seller notwithstanding the lack of a specific cross-reference where the relevance of such disclosure to such other representation and warranty is reasonably apparent or if the fact
or item or its contents are reasonably related to such other representation or warranty. 

  

 -43- 

	 	(b)	Seller may by written notice to Buyer and Tristream revise or supplement the Schedules at any time prior to the Closing Date to reflect information that either
(i) existed on the date hereof and should have been included on one or more items of the Schedules but was not, or (ii) came into existence after the date hereof and would have been required to be disclosed on one or more items of the
Schedules if such information was in existence on the date of this Agreement. Buyer and Tristream shall have five (5) Business Days to review such supplement or amendment and the Closing Date shall be postponed as necessary for Buyer and
Tristream to do so. No such supplement or amendment will affect the rights and obligations of Buyer and Tristream under Section 4(f)(i) or Section 14 of this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing, but if the Closing occurs, any such
supplement or amendment of any Schedule will be effective to cure and correct for all purposes (including, but not limited to indemnification obligations set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement) any breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement that would otherwise have existed by reason of Seller not having made such amendment or supplement. 

  

	30.	Miscellaneous Provisions. 

  

	 	(a)	Expenses. Subject to the specific provisions in this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto shall pay all costs and expenses of its performance of and compliance
with this Agreement, and shall pay the fees and expenses incurred with its own legal counsel and other advisors in connection with negotiating, investigating and closing this transaction. This provision in no way acts to disallow the collection of
costs and expenses expressly permitted by another Section of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Governing Law/Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its
conflict of laws provisions. The Parties further agree that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any document relating hereto may be brought only in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in Dallas, Texas.
Each Party hereby irrevocably waives any objection, including, but not limited to, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non-convenience, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of such action or proceeding
in any such respective jurisdiction. 

  

	 	(c)	Time. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence. If the time for performance of any obligation
set forth in this Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of Texas, compliance with such obligation on the next Business Day following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday shall be deemed acceptable. For purposes of
this Agreement, a “Business Day” is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of Texas. 

  

 -44- 

	 	(d)	Execution of Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all
of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and signature pages by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in “portable document format” shall
constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement for all purposes. Signatures transmitted by facsimile or by electronic mail in “portable document format” shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all intents

faith attempt to resolve any questions or disagreements. If the Owner Representative and the Buyer agree on changes to the Companies’ proposed Estimated Closing Statement (including the Expenses, the Debt Payoff Amount, the calculation of the
Estimated Effective Time Net Working Capital, the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Estimated Net Income Amount, the Estimated Reimbursable Amount, or the Closing Payment Amount set forth therein) based on such discussions, then
the Closing Payment Amount to be paid at Closing shall be determined by giving effect to such changes (and the Estimated Closing Statement, as so adjusted, shall be deemed to be the Estimated Closing Statement for all purposes herein). If the Owner
Representative and the Buyer do not agree on changes to such amounts, then the Closing Payment Amount to be paid at Closing shall be determined based on the amounts set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement initially delivered by the Companies.
In either such case, appropriate adjustments to the Merger Consideration shall be made after the Closing pursuant to Sections 2.9(c) and 2.9(d). 

(c) Post-Closing Merger Consideration Reconciliation. 

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than 60 days after the
Closing Date, the Buyer Parties shall prepare in good faith and deliver to the Owner Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”), setting forth (A) Expenses, the Debt Payoff Amount and a reasonably detailed proposed
final calculation of (1) the Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (“Effective Time Net Working Capital”) calculated in the same manner as the calculation of the Balance Sheet Date Net Working Capital set forth on
Exhibit 2.9(a), (2) the Net Income Amount calculated in the same manner as the calculation on Exhibit 2.9(b) and (3) the Reimbursable Amount, 

 

 20 

 
together with reasonably detailed supporting information, (B) based on such Effective Time Net Working Capital, the Working Capital Adjustment Amount and (C) based on such amounts, the
Merger Consideration Surplus or the Merger Consideration Deficit. 
 (ii) From and after the delivery of the
Closing Statement, the Buyer Parties shall provide the Owner Representative and its Representatives reasonable access to the records and employees of the Buyer Parties and their Affiliates and shall cause the employees of the Buyer Parties and their
Affiliates to cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Owner Representative in connection with its review of such work papers and other documents and information relating to the calculation of Expenses, the Debt Payoff Amount, the Reimbursable
Amount, the Effective Time Net Working Capital and the Net Income Amount, as the Owner Representative shall reasonably request and that are available to the Buyer Parties and their Affiliates. 

(iii) Within 30 days after the Owner Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement, the Owner Representative
shall notify the Buyer if the Owner Representative disagrees with the Closing Statement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement (the “Objection Notice”). If the Owner Representative
provides a notice of agreement or does not deliver to the Buyer an Objection Notice within such 30-day period, then the Owner Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the calculations and the amounts set forth in the Closing Statement
delivered by the Buyer, which shall then be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. If any such Objection Notice is timely delivered, then the Owner Representative and the Buyer shall each endeavor in good faith for a period of
30 days thereafter to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculations in the Closing Statement. 

(iv) If, at the end of the 30-day resolution period, the Owner Representative and the Buyer are unable to resolve any
disagreement between them with respect to the preparation of the Closing Statement, then each such Party shall deliver simultaneously to PricewaterhouseCoopers (or if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve, another nationally recognized
accounting firm mutually agreed on by such Parties, the accounting firm ultimately chosen, the “Accountants”) the Objection Notice, the Closing Statement and any engagement, indemnity and other agreements as the Accountants may
require as a condition to such engagement (each a “Submission”) within 5 days of retaining the Accountants (the “Closing Statement Submission Deadline”). Such Parties shall instruct the Accountants to deliver
to the Parties a written determination (such determination to include a worksheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and to be based solely on information provided to the Accountants by the Parties, or
their respective Affiliates) of, and the Accountants’ engagement shall be limited to the resolution of, disputed amounts set forth in the Closing Statement that have been identified by the Owner Representative in the Objection Notice, which
resolution shall be in 
  

 21 

 
accordance with this Agreement, and no other matter relating to the Closing Statement shall be subject to determination by the Accountants except to the extent affected by resolution of the
disputed amounts. In resolving any disputed item, the Accountants shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by the Buyer or the Owner Representative or less than the smallest value for such item
claimed by the Buyer or the Owner Representative. Such Parties shall cooperate diligently with any reasonable request of the Accountants in an effort to resolve any disputed matter as soon as reasonably possible after the Accountants are engaged. If
possible, the decision of the Accountants shall be made within 20 days after the Closing Statement Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be allocated by the Accountants between the Buyer Parties, on the one hand,
and the Zephyr Owners, on the other hand, and in accordance with their Zephyr Owner Percentage (which the Owner Representative must first pay out of the Owner Representative Reserve, to the extent available), so that the aggregate amount of such
fees and expenses paid by the Zephyr Owners bears the same proportion to the total fees and expenses as the aggregate dollar amount of items unsuccessfully disputed by the Owner Representative, if any (as determined by the Accountants), bears to the
total dollar amount of items in dispute, and the Buyer Parties shall pay the remainder of such fees and expenses, if any. The determination of the Accountants shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder, absent manifest error
or fraud. 
 (d) True-Up Payment. If the Final Adjustment Amount is less than the Estimated Adjustment
Amount (the amount of such shortfall, if any, the “Merger Consideration Deficit”), the Owner Representative and Buyer Parties shall, within 5 Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Statement, promptly
deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent, instructing the Escrow Agent to (i) pay to Buyer from the Escrow Account, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer, an amount equal to the Merger
Consideration Deficit and (ii) pay to an account or accounts designated by the Owner Representative in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to $9,250,000.00 less the Merger Consideration Deficit (if such
difference is a positive number). If the Final Adjustment Amount is more than the Estimated Adjustment Amount (the amount of such excess, the “Merger Consideration Surplus”), (i) Buyer shall, within 5 Business Days after
the final determination of the Closing Statement, promptly pay to an account or accounts designated by the Owner Representative in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Merger Consideration Surplus and
(ii) Owner Representative and Buyer Parties shall, within 5 Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Statement, promptly deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent, instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to an account or
accounts designated by the Owner Representative from the Escrow Account, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to $9,250,000.00. Any payment due either Buyer or the Owner Representative under this
Section 2.9(d) shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the Agreed Rate, which interest shall begin to accrue on the Closing Date and end on the date such payment is made.  

 

 22 

 (e) No Duplicative Effect. The provisions of this
Section 2.9 shall apply in such a manner so as not to give the components and calculations duplicative effect to any item of adjustment and, the Parties covenant and agree that no amount shall be (or is intended to be) included, in whole
or in part (either as an increase or reduction) more than once in the calculations of (including any component of) Net Working Capital or any other calculated amount pursuant to this Agreement if the effect of such additional inclusion (either as an
increase or reduction) would be to cause such amount to be overstated or understated for purposes of such calculation. 
 2.10
Closing Date. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP, at 10:00 a.m., Houston, Texas time no later than five
(5) Business Days after all conditions precedent set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions precedent that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing) or
at such other date and time as the Parties may agree. The date on which the Closing shall occur is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

(c) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws, and the Companies and all ERISA
Affiliates have satisfied all of their statutory, regulatory, financial and contractual obligations with respect to each such Plan, in each case except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. No Proceeding is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Companies, threatened with respect to any Plan (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course of business). 

(d) There has been no prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the

contrary, Section 3.9 (Taxes), Section 3.12 (Employee Benefit Plans) and Section 3.13 (Environmental Matters), shall be the exclusive representations and warranties with respect to Tax, employee benefits and
environmental matters, respectively, and no other representations or warranties are made with respect to such matters, including without limitation pursuant to this Section 3.14. 

3.15 Insurance. Schedule 3.15 contains a true, correct and complete list of all policies of property, fire and
casualty, product liability, workers’ compensation, title, general liability, fiduciary liability, directors’ and officers’ liability, malpractice liability, theft and other forms of insurance held by the Companies. Each of the
insurance policies set forth on Schedule 3.15 is in full force and effect, all premiums due and payable thereon have been paid and no written notice of cancellation or termination has been received by either Company with respect thereto.
There are no outstanding claims under any such insurance policies and, to the Companies’ Knowledge, no event has occurred, and no circumstance or condition exists, that has given rise to or serves as the basis for or (with or without notice or
lapse of time) reasonably would be expected to give rise to or serve as the basis for any such claim under any such policy. Neither Company has received any written or, to the Companies’ Knowledge, oral notice from any insurer or reinsurer of
any reservation of rights with respect to pending or paid claims. Neither Company is a party to any Contract, and the insurance policies listed on Schedule 3.15 do not contain any provision, that would affect the rights of either Company

ARTICLE VI 

TAX MATTERS 

6.1 Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns, Payment of Taxes. 

(a) Pre-Closing Tax Returns. The Owner Representative shall prepare all Tax Returns required to be filed by or with
respect to each Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (“Pre-Closing Tax Returns”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Owner Representative shall cause to be prepared and timely filed the federal income Tax Returns for the Companies on
IRS Form 1065 and all corresponding state income Tax Returns for the period that ends on the Closing Date. The Pre-Closing Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice except to the extent otherwise required by applicable
Law. Not later than twenty (20) days prior to the due date for filing any such Tax Return, the Owner Representative shall deliver a copy of such Tax Return, together with all supporting documentation and workpapers, to Buyer for its review and
reasonable comment. The Buyer will cause such Tax Return (as revised to incorporate Buyer’s reasonable comments) to be timely filed and will provide a copy to the Owner Representative. Not later than five (5) days prior to the due date for
payment of Taxes with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Return, the Zephyr Owners shall pay to the Buyer the amount of any Zephyr Owner Taxes with respect to such Tax Return. 

(b) Straddle Period Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns of the Companies for
all Straddle Periods (“Straddle Tax Returns”). Such Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law. Buyer shall file, or cause to be filed, all
Straddle Tax Returns. Buyer shall provide a copy of each Straddle Tax Return, together with all supporting documentation and workpapers, to the Owner Representative at least twenty (20) days before the due date for such Tax Return. Prior to the
filing of any Straddle Tax Return, Buyer shall make any revisions or adjustments reasonably requested by the Zephyr Owners. Not later than five (5) days prior to the due date for payment of Taxes with respect to any Straddle Tax Return, the
Zephyr Owners shall pay to the Buyer the amount of any Zephyr Owner Taxes with respect to such Tax Return for the amounts owed by the Zephyr Owners as calculated in the following sentence. Liability for Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall
be apportioned between Buyer and Zephyr Owners as follows: (i) property and similar ad valorem Taxes shall be apportioned to the Zephyr Owners for the period up to and including the Closing Date and to the Buyer for the period after the Closing
Date on a ratable daily basis; and (ii) all other Taxes shall be apportioned between Buyer and Zephyr Owners based on an interim closing of the books of each of the Companies as of the Closing Date. For this purpose, any margin or franchise Tax
paid or payable with respect to the Companies shall be allocated to the 
  

 44 

 
taxable period during which the income, receipts, operations, assets or capital comprising the base of such Tax is measured, regardless of whether the right to do business for another taxable
period is obtained by the payment of such Tax. 
 6.2 Responsibility for Tax Audits and Contests. The Zephyr Owners shall
control any audit or contest with respect to any Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that the Party with the greater potential Tax liability shall control any audit or contest with respect to a Straddle Period; provided
further, that the Party so in control of an audit or contest with respect to a Straddle Period shall allow the other Party to participate at such other Party’s cost and expense. The Party in control of an audit or controversy shall keep the
other Party informed of the status of the audit or controversy (including providing copies of correspondence and pleadings). Neither Buyer nor the Zephyr Owners shall settle any audit or contest in a way that would adversely affect the other Party
without the other Party’s written consent, which the other Party shall not unreasonably withhold. 
 6.3 Cooperation on
Tax Matters. The Buyer, the Zephyr Owners and the Owner Representative shall cooperate fully as and to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit or contest with respect to Taxes
imposed on or with respect to the assets, operations or activities of the Companies. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any
such Tax Return or audit or contest. The Owner Representative further agrees, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to
mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on the Buyer or the Companies (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). 

6.4 Amended Tax Returns. Unless required by applicable Law or as set forth below, Buyer agrees not to amend any of the
Companies’ previously filed Tax Returns without Zephyr Owners’ prior consent if such amended Tax Return or settlement would increase (other than a de minimis amount) the amount of Zephyr Owner Taxes. Notwithstanding the above, Buyer may
file or cause to be filed an amended Tax Return even if not required by applicable Law without the consent of the Zephyr Owners, provided that any additional Taxes resulting therefrom will not be deemed to constitute Zephyr Owner Taxes. 

6.5 Tax Refunds. The Zephyr Owners shall be entitled to any refund of Taxes paid with respect to Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax
Period. Buyer shall be entitled to all other refunds except that refunds for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Buyer and the Zephyr Owners in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 6.1(b). If a Party
receives a refund to which the other Party is entitled, the Party receiving the refund shall pay it to the Party entitled to the refund within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt, net of any costs or expenses incurred by such party or its
Affiliates in procuring such refund. 
 6.6 Transfer Taxes. All state or local transfer, sales, use, stamp, registration
or other similar Taxes resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, together with any interest, penalties or additions thereto, shall be borne equally by Buyer and the Zephyr Owners. 

 

 45 

 6.7 Merger Consideration Allocation. At least five (5) days prior to the
Closing, the Owner Representative shall deliver a proposed Allocation (as defined below) to the Buyer. The Owner Representative and Buyer shall thereafter use their best efforts to agree on the Allocation. The Merger Consideration (together with the
liabilities of the Companies assumed by the Buyer) shall be allocated among the assets of the Companies subject to any applicable Code sections and Treasury regulations (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, as appropriate) (the
“Allocation”). The Zephyr Owners and Buyer shall report the transactions contemplated hereby on all Tax Returns, including, but not limited to Form 8594, as applicable, in a manner consistent with the Allocation. If the Merger
Consideration is subsequently adjusted for any reason such that an adjustment to the Allocation is needed in order for such Allocation to comply with this Section 6.7, the Owner Representative shall prepare such adjustment to the
Allocation which adjustment shall be submitted to Buyer, and the Owner Representative and Buyer shall use their best efforts to agree on the final adjustment within thirty (30) days after the determination of the adjusted Merger Consideration.
Buyer and its Affiliates shall timely and properly prepare, execute, file, and deliver all such documents, forms, and other information as the Owner Representative may reasonably request in preparing any required adjustment to the Allocation. If,
contrary to the intent of the parties hereto as expressed in this Section 6.7, any Taxing authority makes or proposes an allocation different from the Allocation determined under this Section 6.7, the Owner Representative and
Buyer shall cooperate with each other in good faith to contest such Taxing authority’s allocation (or proposed allocation), provided, however, that, after consultation with the party (or parties) adversely affected by such allocation (or
proposed allocation), the other party (or parties) hereto may file such protective claims or Tax Returns as may be reasonably required to protect its (or their) interests. 

6.8 Disputes over Tax Provisions. The Accountants shall resolve any dispute between Buyer and the Zephyr Owners over the
calculation of Taxes and under this Article VI substantially in the manner described in Section 2.9(c)(iv).

against whom such indemnification may be sought prior to such time; provided that such right of indemnity shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnification hereunder only until the related claim for indemnification is

(a) From and after the Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, the Zephyr Owners will
jointly and severally (except for Individual Claims as provided in Section 8.2(a)(ii), which shall be several and not joint subject to Section 8.2(c)) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Parties and their officers,

the indemnification obligations of all other Zephyr Owners to the extent of any Losses incurred solely to the extent that there are funds remaining in the Escrow Account to cover such Losses. To the extent that there are insufficient funds remaining

Consideration actually received by such Zephyr Owner (taking into account any distributions from the Escrow Account for Individual Claims with respect to such Zephyr Owner).

 (g) Buyer is not
entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII in respect of the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount, or matters reflected in the calculation thereof, except to the extent that a value used in the calculation of Final Adjustment
Amount is inaccurate because of the failure of a representation or warranty made by Companies in this Agreement to be true and correct as of the Closing. If the Buyer Parties are entitled to indemnification due to the exception set forth in the
previous sentence, the Buyer Parties’ claim shall be limited to the amount that exceeds the inaccurate value reflected in the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount, and is subject to the limitations on indemnification hereunder, including
without limitation the Basket and Ceiling; provided that if any difference between the Estimated Adjustment Amount and the Final Adjustment Amount is the direct result of such a failure, Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification for such
failure under this Article VIII. 
 8.4 Procedures. Claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be
asserted and resolved as follows: 
 (a) If any Person who or which is entitled to seek indemnification under
Section 8.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any claim asserted against an Indemnified Party by a third party (“Third-Party Claim”) in respect of any matter
that is subject to indemnification under Section 8.2, the Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Party(ies) obligated to indemnify (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Third-Party Claim and (ii) transmit
to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third-Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), the Indemnified Party’s best
estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to the Third-Party Claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure to timely provide such Claim Notice shall not affect the right of the
Indemnified Party’s indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay or omission. 

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim at the
Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim (such election to be without prejudice to the right of the
Indemnifying Party to dispute whether such claim is an indemnifiable Loss under this Article VIII), then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (who shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), by all appropriate proceedings, to a final conclusion or settlement at the discretion of the Indemnifying 

 

 56 

 
Party in accordance with this Section 8.4(b). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof;
provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement agreement without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided further, that
such consent shall not be required if (i) the settlement agreement contains a complete and unconditional general release by the third party asserting the claim to all Indemnified Parties affected by the claim, (ii) the settlement agreement
does not contain any sanction or restriction upon the conduct of any business by, and does not contain an injunction or other equitable relief upon, the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel to represent the Indemnified Party if the Indemnified Party is advised by outside counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party that a conflict of interest exists that requires the Indemnified
Party to be represented by separate counsel under the applicable rules of professional responsibility or if the court in which such Third-Party Claim is pending determines that a conflict of interest exists such that the Indemnifying Party’s
counsel is prohibited by such court or otherwise unable to represent the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim or if there is one or more defenses that could be asserted by the Indemnified Party that could not be asserted by the
Indemnifying Party or the Indemnifying Party’s counsel (on the Indemnified Party’s behalf), and, in the event the Indemnified Party has the right to employ separate counsel for the reasons set forth in this sentence, the reasonable
expenses and fees of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnifying
Party and its counsel in contesting any Third-Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including the making of any related counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third-Party Claim or any cross complaint against any Person.
The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8.4(b), and the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and
expenses with respect to such participation. 
 (c) Unless and until the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, and be reimbursed for its reasonable cost and expense (but only if the
Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder) in regard to the Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party), by all appropriate proceedings,
which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnified Party. In such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall defend any such Third-Party Claim in good faith and have full control of such defense and proceedings; provided,
however, that the Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim if indemnification is to be sought hereunder, without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.4(c), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own
costs and expenses with respect to such participation. 
  

 57 

 (d) Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of Losses that does not
result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of
such Direct Claim. Such notice by the Indemnified Party will describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, will include copies of all available material written evidence thereof and will indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of
Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will have a period of five (5) Business Days within which to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond
within such period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party subject to the provisions of this
Agreement. 
 (e) Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be net of any insurance
proceeds realized by and paid to the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim. 
 8.5 Characterization of Payments. For
all applicable income Tax purposes, the parties agree to treat (and will cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnification payment under this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration. 

8.6 Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred
and the amount of Losses suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party, upon a breach of any representation or warranty of the Companies or a Zephyr Owner, each representation and warranty set forth in Article III (other than in any defined
terms such as “Material Contract”), shall be read without regard to and without giving effect to any “material,” “materiality,” Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications that may be contained in any such
representation or warranty. 
 ARTICLE IX

abandoned: 
 (a) by the mutual consent of the Buyer Parties and Companies as evidenced in writing signed by each
of the Buyer Parties and the Companies; 
 (b) by the Buyer by written notice to the Companies, if there has been
a breach by any Company of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement (except where such breach would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect) that has prevented the satisfaction of any
condition to the obligations of the Buyer Parties at the Closing and, if such breach is of a character that it is capable of being cured, such breach has not been cured by the Companies within

  

 58 

 
20 days after written notice thereof from the Buyer Parties; provided, however, if such breach is capable of being cured but is not capable of being cured within such
20 day period, it shall be sufficient for the Companies to commence the cure within such 20 day period and use Reasonable Efforts to continue to cure; 

(c) by the Companies by written notice to the Buyer Parties, if there has been a breach by any Buyer Party of any
representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement (except where such breach would not reasonably be expected to have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect) that has prevented the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of the
Companies at the Closing and, if such breach is of a character that it is capable of being cured, such breach has not been cured by the Buyer Parties within 20 days after written notice thereof from the Companies; provided,
however, if such breach is capable of being cured but is not capable of being cured within such 20 day period, it shall be sufficient for the Buyer Parties to commence the cure within such 20 day period and use Reasonable Efforts to
continue to cure, except that this additional cure period shall not apply to a breach regarding the failure or inability of a Buyer Party to pay any portion Merger Consideration or a breach of the representation set forth in Section 4.6;

 (d) by either the Buyer Parties or the Companies by written notice to the other, if any Governmental Authority
having competent jurisdiction has issued a final, non-appealable Order, decree, ruling or injunction (other than a temporary restraining order) or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and such other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that no Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.1(d) if such Party has not first
complied with its obligations under Section 5.4; 
 (e) by either the Buyer Parties or the Companies
by written notice to the other, if the transactions contemplated hereby have not been consummated by 90 days from the date of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”), provided, that neither the Buyer Parties nor the
Companies will be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) if such Person’s breach of this Agreement has prevented the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or 

(f) by the Buyer Parties or the Companies by written notice to the other as provided in Section 7.4 with
respect to a Casualty Loss. 
 9.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated under Section 9.1,
all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate without further liability or obligation of either Party to the other Parties hereunder; provided, however, that no Party will be released from liability hereunder if
this Agreement is terminated and the transactions abandoned by reason of (a) failure of such Party to have performed its material obligations under this Agreement or (b) any material misrepresentation made by such Party of any matter set
forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 9.2 will relieve any Party to this Agreement of liability for breach of this Agreement occurring prior to any termination, or for breach of any provision of this Agreement that
specifically survives termination hereunder. The Confidentiality Agreement shall not be affected by a termination of this Agreement.

(b) After appointment by the Zephyr Owners, the Owner Representative will act as the sole point of contact between the
Buyer Parties and the Zephyr Owners, to take any and all actions required or permitted to be taken by the Owner Representative under or in connection with this Agreement and to do all things and execute any and all documents which may be necessary,
convenient or appropriate to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and for the following additional purposes: (A) to give and receive notices and communications to or from the Buyer Parties relating to

 63 

 
Account once such funds are eligible for distribution therefrom; (F) to establish a reserve in the amount of $250,000.00 from the Merger Consideration with respect to the Zephyr Owners based
upon their respective Zephyr Owner Percentage, to fund potential expenses of the Owner Representative in carrying out its authorized duties hereunder (the “Owner Representative Reserve”); (G) on behalf of the Zephyr Owners, to
initiate or to refrain from initiating or to dispute or to refrain from disputing any indemnity or other claim under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as the Owner Representative, in its reasonable discretion, determines to be necessary
or desirable; (H) on behalf of the Zephyr Owners, to negotiate, compromise and resolve any dispute which may arise under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, as the Owner Representative, in its reasonable discretion, determines to be
necessary or desirable; (I) on behalf of the Zephyr Owners, to exercise or refrain from exercising remedies available under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to sign any release or other document with respect to such dispute or
remedy, as the Owner Representative, in its reasonable discretion, determines to be necessary or desirable; (J) to consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, as the Owner Representative, in its reasonable
discretion, determines to be necessary or desirable; (K) to execute and deliver waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as the Owner Representative, in its reasonable discretion, determines to be
necessary or desirable; and (L) to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the reasonable discretion of the Owner Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any
Zephyr Owner, and (ii) agrees to be bound by all agreements and determinations made by and documents executed and delivered by the Owner Representative pursuant to the authority granted to it hereunder. The Owner Representative shall have no
duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Letter of Transmittal. 

(c) After appointment by the Zephyr Owners, the Owner Representative will be authorized to act on a Zephyr Owners behalf,
notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement between any Zephyr Owner and the Owner Representative, and each Indemnified Party and any other Person shall be entitled to rely on any and all actions taken by the Owner Representative under this
Agreement without any liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any of the Zephyr Owners. Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement,
resolution or instruction of, the Owner Representative that is within the scope of the Owner Representative’s authority under this Section 10.12 shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to
act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Zephyr Owners and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Zephyr Owner. Each Indemnified Party and any other Person shall be
entitled to rely upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action,
failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Zephyr Owner. 
  

 64

the Buyer Parties and by providing the Buyer Parties with the name of the successor Owner Representative as designated by action of the Zephyr Owners who hold a majority of the Zephyr Owner Percentage. If for any reason no successor has been
appointed pursuant to the foregoing within sixty (60) days, then the Buyer Parties shall have the right to appoint a successor (which successor shall be independent of the Buyer Parties and their Affiliates). 

(e) The authorizations of the Owner Representative shall be effective until its rights and obligations under this
Agreement terminate by virtue of the termination of any and all obligations of the Owner Representative and the Buyer under this Agreement. 

(f) The Buyer Parties shall be entitled to deal exclusively with, and rely upon the authority of, the Owner Representative
to act as the agent of the Zephyr Owners. 
 10.13 Specific Performance. The Parties recognize that in the event that the
Companies or the Owner Representative should refuse to perform under the provisions of this Agreement, monetary damages alone will not be adequate. The Buyer Parties shall therefore be entitled to seek, in addition to any other remedies which may be
available, including money damages, and without requirement by the Zephyr Owners or the Buyer Parties to post bond or prove actual damages have resulted or would result in the absence thereof, to obtain specific performance of the terms of this
Agreement. In the event of any action to enforce this Agreement specifically, the Companies and the Owner Representative hereby waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
