based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion);

discretion, following the date of the acquisition of such Award; 

  
 7 

 (j) to modify, extend or renew an Award, subject to Article XIII and Section
6.4(l), provided, however, that such action does not subject the Award to Section 409A of the Code without the consent of the Participant; and

(which may be on a recourse basis and shall bear interest at the rate the Committee shall provide) to Participants in order to exercise Options under the Plan.

and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan or the exercise of rights granted under the Plan or an Award and (ii) perform all acts, including the delegation of its responsibilities (to the extent permitted
by applicable law and applicable stock exchange rules), as it shall, from time to time, deem advisable; to construe and interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award issued under the Plan (and any agreements relating thereto); and to
otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any agreement relating thereto in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary to
effectuate the purpose and intent of the Plan. The Committee may adopt special guidelines and provisions for Persons who are residing in or employed in, or subject to, the taxes of, any domestic or foreign jurisdictions to comply with applicable tax
and securities laws of such domestic or foreign jurisdictions. To the extent applicable, the Plan is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3, and with respect to Awards intended to be
“performance-based,” the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, and the Plan shall be limited, construed and interpreted in a manner so as to comply therewith.

the Company or any Affiliate and member or former member of the Committee or the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any cost or expense (including reasonable fees of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Committee) or
liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Committee), and advanced amounts necessary to pay the foregoing at the earliest time and to the fullest extent permitted, arising out of any act or omission to act
in connection with the administration of the Plan, except to the extent arising out of such officer’s, employee’s, member’s or former member’s own fraud or bad faith. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any right of
indemnification the employees, officers, directors or members or former officers, directors or members may have under applicable law or under the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company or any

ARTICLE IV 
 SHARE

 4.1 Shares. (a) The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or used for
reference purposes or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall not exceed [        ] shares (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2), which may be
either authorized and unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in or acquired for 

  
 9 

 
the treasury of the Company or both (the “Share Reserve”). The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options may be
granted under the Plan shall be equal to the Share Reserve. With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights and Options settled in Common Stock, upon settlement, only the number of shares of Common Stock delivered to a Participant shall count against the

shall again be available for the purpose of Awards under the Plan. If any shares of Common Stock are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations on an Award issued under the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock withheld shall again be
available for purposes of Awards under the Plan. Shares used to settle a Substitute Award shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock available in the Share Reserve. 

(b) Annual Non-Employee Director Award Limitation. The aggregate grant date fair value
(computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all Awards granted under the Plan to any individual Non-Employee Director in any fiscal year of the Company

$[        ].

the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company or any
Affiliate, (iii) any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock, (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, (v) any sale or transfer of all or
part of the assets or business of the Company or any Affiliate or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding. 
 (b) Subject to the
provisions of Section 12.1: 
 (i) If the Company at any time subdivides (by any split, recapitalization or
otherwise) the outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or combines (by reverse split, combination or otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the respective
exercise prices for outstanding Awards that provide for a Participant elected exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Awards and the aggregate number or kind of securities that thereafter may be issued under the Plan
shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants under the Plan. 

(ii) Excepting transactions covered by Section 4.2(b)(i), if the Company effects any merger, consolidation, statutory
exchange, spin-off, reorganization, sale or transfer of all or substantially all the Company’s assets or business, or other corporate transaction or event in such a manner that the Company’s
outstanding shares of Common Stock are 

  
 10 

 
converted into the right to receive (or the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive in exchange therefor), either immediately or upon liquidation of the Company, securities or other
property of the Company or other entity (each, a “Reorganization”), then, subject to the provisions of Section 12.1, (A) the aggregate number or kind of securities that thereafter may
be issued under the Plan, (B) the number or kind of securities or other property (including cash) to be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan (including as a result of the assumption of the Plan and the obligations hereunder by a
successor entity, as applicable), and (C) the purchase price thereof, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants under the Plan. 

(iii) If there shall occur any change in the capital structure of the Company other than those covered by Section 4.2(b)(i) or
4.2(b)(ii), including by reason of any extraordinary dividend (whether cash or equity), any conversion, any adjustment, any issuance of any class of securities convertible or exercisable into, or exercisable for, any class of equity
securities of the Company, then the Committee shall adjust any Award and make such other adjustments to the Plan to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants under the Plan. 

(iv) Any such adjustment determined by the Committee pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) shall be final, binding and conclusive on the
Company and all Participants and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns. Any adjustment to, or assumption or substitution of, an Award under this Section 4.2(b) shall be intended to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation §1.424-1 (and any amendments thereto), to the extent applicable. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.2
or in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall have no additional rights under the Plan by reason of any transaction or event described in this Section 4.2. 

(v) Fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from any adjustment in Awards pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or this
Section 4.2(b) shall be aggregated until, and eliminated at, the time of exercise or payment by rounding-down for fractions less than one-half and
rounding-up for fractions equal to or greater than one-half. No cash settlements shall be required with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding. Notice of
any adjustment shall be given by the Committee to each Participant whose Award has been adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

6.3 Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no term of the Plan relating to
Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of the
Participants affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422. 
 6.4 Terms of Options.
Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall be in such form and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable:

 (a) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at
the time of grant, provided that the per share exercise price of a Stock Option shall not be less than 100% (or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, 110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the
date of grant. 
 (b) Stock Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, provided that no Stock Option
shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Option is granted; and provided, further that the term of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall not exceed five years. 

(c) Exercisability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.4, Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the 

  
 12 

 
Committee at the time of grant. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable subject to certain limitations (including, without limitation, that such Stock
Option is exercisable only in installments or within certain time periods), the Committee may waive such limitations on the exercisability at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part (including, without limitation, waiver of the
installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such Stock Option may be exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion. 

(d) Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment exercise and waiting period provisions apply under Section 6.4(c), to
the extent vested, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Option term, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be
accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price as follows: (i) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) solely to the extent permitted by applicable law, if the Common Stock is traded
on a national securities exchange, and the Committee authorizes, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to
the purchase price; (iii) having the Company withhold shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Stock Option, or by payment in full or in part in the form of Common Stock owned by the Participant, based on the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock on the payment date as determined by the Committee; or (iv) on such other terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Committee. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until payment therefor, as provided herein, has
been made or provided for. 
 (e) Non-Transferability of Options. No Stock Option shall be
Transferable by the Participant other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or (ii) to family members (within the meaning of Rule 701 of the Securities Act) through gifts or domestic relations orders, as permitted by
Rule 701 of the Securities Act; provided, that with respect to the foregoing clauses such transferee is an “accredited investor”, as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act, and the
transferor remains liable for all obligations under this Plan related to such Transferred Stock Options and any Award Agreement in respect of such Transferred Stock Options; provided, further, that in the case of any Transfer
pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) the transferor retains rights of notice with respect to such Transferred Stock Option, as applicable, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s
lifetime, only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant or thereafter that a Non-Qualified Stock Option that is otherwise not
Transferable pursuant to this Section is Transferable to a Family Member in whole or in part and in such circumstances, and under such conditions, as specified by the Committee. A Non-Qualified Stock Option
that is Transferred to a Family Member pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) may not be subsequently Transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) remains subject to the terms of the Plan and the
applicable Award Agreement. Any shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option by a permissible transferee of a Non-Qualified Stock
Option or a permissible transferee pursuant to a Transfer after the exercise of the Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. 

  
 13 

 (f) Termination by Death or Disability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at
the time of grant, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, if a Participant’s Termination is by reason of death or Disability, all Stock Options that are held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time
of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant (or in the case of the Participant’s death, by the legal representative of the Participant’s estate) at any time within a period of one (1) year from the date
of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Options; provided, however, that, in the event of a Participant’s Termination by reason of Disability, if the Participant dies within such
exercise period, all unexercised Stock Options held by such Participant shall thereafter be exercisable, to the extent to which they were exercisable at the time of death, for a period of one (1) year from the date of such death, but in no
event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Options. 
 (g) Involuntary Termination Without Cause. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee at the time of grant, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, if a Participant’s Termination is by involuntary termination by the Company without Cause, all Stock Options that are held by such
Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant at any time within a period of ninety (90) days from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the
expiration of the stated term of such Stock Options. 
 (h) Voluntary Resignation. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at
the time of grant, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, if a Participant’s Termination is voluntary (other than a voluntary termination described in Section 6.4(i)(y) hereof), all Stock Options
that are held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant at any time within a period of ninety (90) days from the date of such Termination, but in no
event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Options. 
 (i) Termination for Cause. Unless otherwise determined by
the Committee at the time of grant, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, if a Participant’s Termination (x) is for Cause or (y) is a voluntary Termination (as provided in Section 6.4(h)) after the
occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a Termination for Cause, all Stock Options, whether vested or not vested, that are held by such Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination. 

(j) Unvested Stock Options. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, or if no rights of the Participant are
reduced, thereafter, Stock Options that are not vested as of the date of a Participant’s Termination for any reason shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination. 

(k) Incentive Stock Option Limitations. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the
Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar year under the Plan and/or any other stock option plan of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent exceeds
$100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. In addition, if an Eligible Employee does not remain employed by the Company, any Subsidiary or

  
 14 

 
any Parent at all times from the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted until three months prior to the date of exercise thereof (or such other period as required by applicable law), such
Stock Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Should any provision of the Plan not be necessary in order for the Stock Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or should any additional
provisions be required, the Committee may amend the Plan accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the stockholders of the Company. 

(l) Form, Modification, Extension and Renewal of Stock Options. Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the
Plan, Stock Options shall be evidenced by such form of agreement or grant as is approved by the Committee, and the Committee may (i) modify, extend or renew outstanding Stock Options granted under the Plan (provided that the rights of a
Participant are not reduced without such Participant’s consent and provided, further that such action does not subject the Stock Options to Section 409A of the Code without the consent of the Participant), and (ii) accept the
surrender of outstanding Stock Options (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new Stock Options in substitution therefor (to the extent not theretofore exercised). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an outstanding Option
may not be modified to reduce the exercise price thereof nor may a new Option at a lower price be substituted for a surrendered Option (other than adjustments or substitutions in accordance with Section 4.2), unless such
action is approved by the stockholders of the Company. 
 (m) Deferred Delivery of Common Stock. The Committee may in its discretion
permit Participants to defer delivery of Common Stock acquired pursuant to a Participant’s exercise of an Option in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, which shall be intended
to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (n) Early Exercise. The Committee may provide that a Stock Option
include a provision whereby the Participant may elect at any time before the Participant’s Termination to exercise the Stock Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option prior to the full vesting of the
Stock Option and such shares shall be subject to the provisions of Article VIII and be treated as Restricted Stock. Unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any
other restriction the Committee determines to be appropriate. 
 (o) Other Terms and Conditions. The Committee may include a
provision in an Award Agreement providing for the automatic exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option on a cashless basis on the last day of the term of such Option if the Participant has failed to exercise the
Non-Qualified Stock Option as of such date, with respect to which the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Non-Qualified Stock Option exceeds
the exercise price of such Non-Qualified Stock Option on the date of expiration of such Option, subject to Section 15.4. Stock Options may contain such other provisions, which shall
not be inconsistent with any of the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

7.1 Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted
under the Plan. 
 7.2 Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder
shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined from time to time by the Committee, and the following: 

(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to a Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the
Committee at the time of grant, provided that the per share exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of grant. 

(b) Term. The term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Committee, but shall not be greater than 10 years after the
date the right is granted. 
 (c) Exercisability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 7.2, Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant. If the
Committee provides, in its discretion, that any such right is exercisable subject to certain limitations (including, without limitation, that it is exercisable only in installments or within certain time periods), the Committee may waive such
limitations on the exercisability at any time at or after grant in whole or in part (including, without limitation, waiver of the installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such right may be exercised), based on such
factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion. 
 (d) Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment
exercise and waiting period provisions apply under Section 7.2(c), Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised in whole or in part at any time in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement, by giving written notice of exercise to the
Company specifying the number of Stock Appreciation Rights to be exercised. 
 (e) Payment. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation
Right a Participant shall be entitled to receive, for each right exercised, up to, but no more than, an amount in cash and/or Common Stock (as chosen by the Committee in its sole discretion) equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of
one share of Common Stock on the date that the right is exercised over the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date that the right was awarded to the Participant. 

(f) Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant or, if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter,
subject to the provisions of the applicable Award Agreement and the Plan, upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason, Stock Appreciation Rights will remain exercisable following a Participant’s Termination on the same basis as Stock
Options would be exercisable following a Participant’s Termination in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.4(f) through 6.4(j). 

(g) Non-Transferability. No Stock Appreciation Rights shall be Transferable by the Participant
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all such rights shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant. 

  
 16 

 7.3 Other Terms and Conditions. The Committee may include a provision in an
Award Agreement providing for the automatic exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right on a cashless basis on the last day of the term of such Stock Appreciation Right if the Participant has failed to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right as of such
date, with respect to which the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Stock Appreciation Right exceeds the exercise price of such Stock Appreciation Right on the date of expiration of such Stock Appreciation Right, subject
to Section 15.4. Stock Appreciation Rights may contain such other provisions, which shall not be inconsistent with any of the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem appropriate. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 RESTRICTED
STOCK 
 8.1 Awards of Restricted Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in addition to
other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the Participants, to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock shall be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the
Participant (subject to Section 8.2), the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the Awards. 

The Committee may condition the grant or vesting of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of specified performance targets (including the
Performance Goals) or such other factor as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, including to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. 

8.2 Awards and Certificates. Participants selected to receive Restricted Stock shall not have any right with respect to
such Award, unless and until such Participant has delivered a fully executed copy of the agreement evidencing the Award to the Company, to the extent required by the Committee, and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions of
such Award. Further, such Award shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (a) Purchase Price. The purchase price of Restricted
Stock shall be fixed by the Committee. Subject to Section 4.3, the purchase price for shares of Restricted Stock may be zero to the extent permitted by applicable law, and, to the extent not so permitted, such purchase
price may not be less than par value. 
 (b) Acceptance. Awards of Restricted Stock must be accepted within a period of 60 days (or
such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant) after the grant date, by executing a Restricted Stock Award Agreement and by paying whatever price (if any) the Committee has designated thereunder. 

  
 17 

 (c) Legend. Each Participant receiving Restricted Stock shall be issued a stock
certificate in respect of such shares of Restricted Stock, unless the Committee elects to use another system, such as book entries by the transfer agent, as evidencing ownership of shares of Restricted Stock. Such certificate shall be registered in
the name of such Participant, and shall, in addition to such legends required by applicable securities laws, bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the following
form: 
 “The anticipation, alienation, attachment, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge of the shares of stock
represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the Vine Resources Inc. (the “Company”) 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and an Agreement entered into between the registered owner
and the Company dated                     . Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the principal office of the Company.” 

(d) Custody. If stock certificates are issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require that any stock
certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any grant of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a duly signed stock power or
other instruments of assignment (including a power of attorney), each endorsed in blank with a guarantee of signature if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company, which would permit transfer to the Company of all or a portion of the shares
subject to the Restricted Stock Award in the event that such Award is forfeited in whole or part. 
 8.3 Restrictions and
Conditions. The shares of Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions: 

(a) Restriction Period. (i) The Participant shall not be permitted to Transfer shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan
during the period or periods set by the Committee (the “Restriction Period”) commencing on the date of such Award, as set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement and such agreement shall set forth a
vesting schedule and any event that would accelerate vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock. Within these limits, based on service, attainment of Performance Goals pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(ii) and/or such other factors or
criteria as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, the Committee may condition the grant or provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments in whole or in part, or may accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any
Restricted Stock Award and/or waive the deferral limitations for all or any part of any Restricted Stock Award. 
 (ii) If the grant of
shares of Restricted Stock or the lapse of restrictions is based on the attainment of Performance Goals, the Committee shall establish the objective Performance Goals and the applicable vesting percentage of the Restricted Stock applicable to each
Participant or class of Participants in writing prior to the beginning of the applicable fiscal year or at such later date as otherwise determined by the Committee and while the outcome of the Performance Goals are substantially uncertain. Such
Performance Goals may incorporate provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other

  
 18 

 
similar type events or circumstances. With regard to a Restricted Stock Award that is intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent that any such provision would create
impermissible discretion under Section 162(m) of the Code or otherwise violate Section 162(m) of the Code, such provision shall be of no force or effect. 

(b) Rights as a Stockholder. Except as provided in Section 8.3(a) and this Section 8.3(b) or as otherwise
determined by the Committee in an Award Agreement, the Participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to
receive dividends, the right to vote such shares and, subject to and conditioned upon the full vesting of shares of Restricted Stock, the right to tender such shares. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine at the time of grant that the
payment of dividends shall be deferred until, and conditioned upon, the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period. 
 (c)
Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant or, if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, subject to the applicable provisions of the Award Agreement and the Plan, upon a Participant’s Termination
for any reason during the relevant Restriction Period, all Restricted Stock still subject to restriction will be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at grant or thereafter. 

(d) Lapse of Restrictions. If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock, the
certificates for such shares shall be delivered to the Participant. All legends shall be removed from said certificates at the time of delivery to the Participant, except as otherwise required by applicable law or other limitations imposed by the
Committee. 
 ARTICLE IX 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 

9.1 Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Units to Participants, subject to the
following terms and conditions: 
 (a) Award and Restrictions. Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions (which
may include a risk of forfeiture) as the Committee may impose, if any, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or at earlier specified times (including based on achievement of one or more performance goals and/or future
service requirements), separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. 
 (b) Dividend
Equivalents. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at date of grant, Dividend Equivalents on the specified number of shares of Common Stock covered by an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be either (A) paid with respect to such
Restricted Stock Units on the dividend payment date in cash or in shares of unrestricted Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, or (B) deferred with respect to such Restricted Stock Units and the amount or value
thereof automatically deemed reinvested in additional Restricted Stock Units. 

  
 19 

 (c) Settlement. Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units shall occur upon expiration of
the deferral period specified for such Restricted Stock Units by the Committee (or, if permitted by the Committee, as elected by the Participant). Settlement of Restricted Stock Units shall be made by delivery of (A) a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units for which settlement is due, (B) cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the specified number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Restricted Stock Units, or (C) a
combination thereof, as determined by the Committee at the date of grant or thereafter. 
 ARTICLE X 

PERFORMANCE AWARDS 

10.1 Performance Awards. The Committee may grant a Performance Award to a Participant payable upon the attainment of specific
Performance Goals. If the Performance Award is payable in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be transferable to the Participant upon attainment of the relevant Performance Goal in accordance with Article VIII. If the Performance Award
is payable in cash, it will be paid upon the attainment of the relevant Performance Goals in cash or, to the extent provided in an Award Agreement, in shares of Common Stock or Restricted Stock (based on the then current Fair Market Value of such
shares). Each Performance Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form that is not inconsistent with the Plan and that the Committee may from time to time approve. 

10.2 Terms and Conditions. Performance Awards awarded pursuant to this Article X shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions: 
 (a) Earning of Performance Award. At the expiration of the applicable Performance Period, the Committee
shall determine the extent to which the Performance Goals established pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(ii) are achieved and the percentage of each Performance Award that has been earned. 

(b) Non-Transferability. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Award Agreement and the
Plan, Performance Awards may not be Transferred during the Performance Period. 
 (c) Dividends. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee at the time of grant, amounts equal to dividends declared during the Performance Period with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock covered by a Performance Award will not be paid to the Participant. 

(d) Payment. Following the Committee’s determination in accordance with Section 10.2(a), the Company shall settle
Performance Awards, in such form (including, without limitation, in shares of Common Stock or in cash) as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to such Participant’s earned Performance Awards. 

(e) Termination. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Award Agreement and the Plan, upon a Participant’s Termination for
any reason during the Performance Period for a given Performance Award, the Performance Award in question will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at grant. 

(f) Accelerated Vesting. Based on service, performance and/or such other factors or criteria, if any, as the Committee may determine,
the Committee may, at or after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any Performance Award. 

  
 20 

 ARTICLE XI 

OTHER AWARDS 
 11.1
Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant to Participants Other Stock-Based Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or
related to shares of Common Stock, including but not limited to, shares of Common Stock awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to restrictions or conditions, shares of Common Stock in payment of the amounts due under an incentive or performance
plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate, stock equivalent units, and Awards valued by reference to book value of shares of Common Stock. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with
other Awards granted under the Plan. 
 Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority to determine the
Participants, to whom, and the time or times at which, such Awards shall be made, the number of shares of Common Stock to be awarded pursuant to such Awards, and all other conditions of the Awards. The Committee may also provide for the grant of
Common Stock under such Awards upon the completion of a specified Performance Period. 
 The Committee may condition the grant or vesting of
Other Stock-Based Awards upon the attainment of specified Performance Goals as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion. Such Performance Goals may incorporate provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods,
corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar type events or circumstances. 

11.2 Terms and Conditions. Other Stock-Based Awards made pursuant to this Article XI shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions: 
 (a) Non-Transferability. Subject to the applicable
provisions of the Award Agreement and the Plan, shares of Common Stock subject to Awards made under this Article XI may not be Transferred prior to the date on which the shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any applicable
restriction, performance or deferral period lapses. 
 (b) Dividends. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of
Award, subject to the provisions of the Award Agreement and the Plan, the recipient of an Award under this Article XI shall not be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, dividends or dividend equivalents in respect of the
number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Award. 
 (c) Vesting. Any Award under this Article XI and any Common Stock
covered by any such Award shall vest or be forfeited to the extent so provided in the Award Agreement, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. 

(d) Price. Common Stock issued on a bonus basis under this Article XI may be issued for no cash consideration. Common Stock
purchased pursuant to a purchase right awarded under this Article XI shall be priced, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

  
 21 

 11.3 Bonus Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant Common Stock as a
bonus, or to grant Common Stock or other Awards in lieu of obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under the Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements, provided that, in the case of Participants subject to section 16 of the
Exchange Act, the amount of such grants remains within the discretion of the Committee to the extent necessary to ensure that acquisitions of Common Stock or other Awards are exempt from liability under section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Common
Stock or Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to such other terms as shall be determined by the Committee. 
 11.4
Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to a Participant, entitling the Participant to receive cash, Common Stock, other Awards, or other property equal in value to dividends paid with respect to
a specified number of shares of Common Stock, or other periodic payments. Dividend Equivalents may be awarded on a free-standing basis or in connection with another Award other than an Award of Restricted Stock). The Committee may provide that
Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Common Stock, Awards, or other investment vehicles, and subject to such restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture,
as the Committee may specify. 
 11.5 Annual Incentive Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Annual Incentive
Awards under the Plan. 
 (a) Potential Annual Incentive Awards. The Committee shall determine the Participants who will potentially
receive Annual Incentive Awards, and the amounts potentially payable thereunder, for that fiscal year, either out of an Annual Incentive Award pool established by such date under Section 11.5(b) hereof or as individual Annual Incentive
Awards. The amount potentially payable, with respect to Annual Incentive Awards, shall be based upon the achievement of a performance goal or goals based on one or more of the business criteria set forth in Article X hereof in the given
performance year, as specified by the Committee, in accordance with Section 11.5(b) hereof. 
 (b) Annual Incentive Award
Pool. The Committee may establish an Annual Incentive Award pool, which shall be an unfunded pool, for purposes of measuring performance of the Company in connection with Annual Incentive Awards. The amount of such Annual Incentive Award pool
shall be based upon the achievement of a Performance Goal or Performance Goals based on one or more of the business criteria set forth in Exhibit A hereof during the given performance period, as specified by the Committee in accordance with
Article X hereof. The Committee may specify the amount of the Annual Incentive Award pool as a percentage of any of such business criteria, a percentage thereof in excess of a threshold amount, or as another amount which need not bear a
strictly mathematical relationship to such business criteria 
 (c) Payout of Annual Incentive Awards. After the end of each
applicable performance period, the Committee shall determine the amount, if any, of (A) the Annual Incentive Award pool, and the maximum amount of the potential Annual Incentive Award payable to each Participant in the Annual Incentive Award
pool, or (B) the amount of the Annual Incentive Award payable to each Participant. To the extent provided in an Award Agreement, 

  
 22 

 
the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the amount payable to any Participant as a final Annual Incentive Award shall be reduced from the amount of his or her potential Annual
Incentive Award, including a determination to make no final Award whatsoever. The Committee shall specify the circumstances in which an Annual Incentive Award shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination of employment by the Participant
prior to the end of the applicable year or settlement of such Annual Incentive Award. 
 11.6 Substitute Awards; No Re-Pricing. Awards may be granted under the Plan in substitution for similar awards held by individuals who become Participants as a result of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of another entity or the
assets of another entity by or with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. Such Substitute Awards referred to in the immediately preceding sentence that are Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may have an exercise price that is less than the
Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of the substitution. Except as provided in this Section 11.6 or in Article XII, the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price or
grant price of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or to cancel outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price or grant price that is
less than the exercise price or grant price of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights without the approval of the shareholders of the Company. 

ARTICLE XII 
 CHANGE IN
CONTROL PROVISIONS 
 12.1 Benefits. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below), and
except as otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, a Participant’s unvested Award shall not vest automatically and a Participant’s Award shall be treated in accordance with one or more of the following methods as
determined by the Committee: 
 (a) Awards, whether or not then vested, shall be continued, assumed, or have new rights substituted
therefor, as determined by the Committee in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and restrictions to which shares of Restricted Stock or any other Award granted prior to the Change in Control are subject shall not
lapse upon a Change in Control and the Restricted Stock or other Award shall, where appropriate in the sole discretion of the Committee, receive the same distribution as other Common Stock on such terms as determined by the Committee; provided that
the Committee may decide to award additional Restricted Stock or other Awards in lieu of any cash distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of Incentive Stock Options, any assumed or substituted Stock Option shall
comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1 (and any amendment thereto). 

(b) The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the purchase of any Awards by the Company or an Affiliate for an amount of cash
equal to the excess (if any) of the Change in Control Price (as defined below) of the shares of Common Stock covered by such Awards, over the aggregate exercise price of such Awards. For purposes hereof, “Change in Control
Price” shall mean the highest price per share of Common Stock paid in any transaction related to a Change in Control of the Company.

 (c) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate all outstanding and unexercised Stock
Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, or any Other Stock-Based Award that provides for a Participant elected exercise, effective as of the date of the Change in Control, by delivering notice of termination to each Participant at least twenty
(20) days prior to the date of consummation of the Change in Control, in which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of the Change in Control, each such Participant shall have
the right to exercise in full all of such Participant’s Awards that are then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the Award Agreements), but any such exercise shall be contingent on the
occurrence of the Change in Control, and, provided that, if the Change in Control does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant thereto shall be null and void. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for accelerated vesting or
lapse of restrictions, of an Award at any time. 
 12.2 Change in Control. Unless otherwise determined by
the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement with a Participant approved by the Committee, a “Change in Control” shall mean the first (and only the first) to occur of the following:

 (a) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act of direct
or indirect beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the following acquisitions (collectively, the
“Excluded Acquisitions”) shall not constitute a Change in Control (it being understood that shares acquired in an Excluded Acquisition may nevertheless be considered in determining whether any subsequent
acquisition by such individual, entity or group (other than an Excluded Acquisition) constitutes a Change in Control): (i) any acquisition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related
trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) any acquisition by an underwriter temporarily holding Company securities pursuant to an offering of such securities; or (iv) any acquisition in connection with
a Business Combination (as hereinafter defined) which, pursuant to subparagraph (c) below, does not constitute a Change in Control; 

(b) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved
by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any
such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on
behalf of an individual, entity or group other than the Board; 

  
 24 

 (c) consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or other business combination (any of
the foregoing, a “Business Combination”) of the Company or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company with any entity, in any case unless: 

(i) the Outstanding Company Voting Securities outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination, immediately following such Business
Combination, continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or being converted into voting securities of the resulting or surviving entity or any ultimate parent thereof) two-thirds or more of the
outstanding common stock and of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company (or its successor) or any ultimate parent thereof; 

(ii) after such Business Combination, no Person has direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than 50% of either (X) the then
outstanding shares of common stock of the ultimate parent company of the company surviving such Business Combination or (Y) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the ultimate parent company of the company
surviving such Business Combination; and 
 (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company (or its
successor) or any ultimate parent thereof in such Business Combination consists of individuals (“Continuing Directors”) who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior to consummation of such Business
Combination (excluding from Continuing Directors for this purpose, however, any individual whose election or appointment to the Board was at the request, directly or indirectly, of the entity which entered into the definitive agreement with
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company providing for such Business Combination); 
 (d) consummation of a sale or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, other than to a corporation with respect to which, following such sale or other disposition, at least two-thirds of, respectively, the then outstanding
shares of common stock of such corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all
or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such sale or other disposition in substantially the same proportion as their
ownership, immediately prior to such sale or other disposition, of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities; or 
 (e) shareholder approval
of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
 The term “the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company” shall mean a sale or other disposition transaction or series of related transactions involving assets of the Company or of any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company (including the stock of any direct or indirect
subsidiary of the Company) in which the value of the assets or stock being sold or otherwise disposed of (as measured by the purchase price being paid therefore 

  
 25 

 
or by such other method as the Board determines is appropriate in a case where there is no readily ascertainable purchase price) constitutes more than
two-thirds of the fair market value of the Company (as hereinafter defined). The “fair market value of the Company” shall be the aggregate market value of the then Outstanding Company Voting
Securities (on a fully diluted basis) plus the aggregate market value of the Company’s other outstanding equity securities. The aggregate market value of the shares of Outstanding Company Voting Securities shall be determined by multiplying the
number of shares of Outstanding Company Voting Securities (on a fully diluted basis) outstanding on the date of the execution and delivery of a definitive agreement with respect to the transaction or series of related transactions (the
“Transaction Date”) by the average closing price of the shares of Outstanding Company Voting Securities for the ten trading days immediately preceding the Transaction Date. The aggregate market value of any
other equity securities of the Company shall be determined in a manner similar to that prescribed in the immediately preceding sentence for determining the aggregate market value of the shares of Outstanding Company Voting Securities or by such
other method as the Board shall determine is appropriate. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Award that is characterized as
“nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, an event shall not be considered to be a Change in Control under the Plan for purposes of payment of such Award unless such event is also a “change
in ownership,” a “change in effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. 

12.3 Initial Public Offering not a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the Plan, the
occurrence of the Registration Date shall not be considered a Change in Control. 
 ARTICLE XIII 

TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend, in whole or in part, any or all of
the provisions of the Plan (including any amendment deemed necessary to ensure that the Company may comply with any regulatory requirement referred to in Article XV or Section 409A of the Code), or suspend or terminate it entirely,
retroactively or otherwise; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law or specifically provided herein, the rights of a Participant with respect to Awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension or termination, may
not be impaired without the consent of such Participant and, provided further, that without the approval of the holders of the Company’s Common Stock entitled to vote in accordance with applicable law, no amendment may be made
that would (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of Section 4.2); (ii) change the classification of individuals eligible to receive Awards
under the Plan; (iii) decrease the minimum option price of any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right; (iv) extend the maximum option period under Section 6.4; (v) alter the Performance Goals for Restricted
Stock, Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards as set forth in Exhibit A hereto; (vi) award any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right in replacement of a canceled Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right with
a higher exercise price than the replacement award; or (vii) require stockholder approval in order for the Plan to continue 

  
 26 

 
to comply with the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code or, to the extent applicable to Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of the Code. In no event may the Plan be amended
without the approval of the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Delaware to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan, decrease the minimum
exercise price of any Award, or to make any other amendment that would require stockholder approval under Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules and regulations or the rules of any exchange or system on which the Company’s
securities are listed or traded at the request of the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Board may amend the Plan or any Award Agreement at any time without a Participant’s consent to comply with applicable law
including Section 409A of the Code. The Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Article IV or as otherwise specifically provided herein, no such amendment or other
action by the Committee shall impair the rights of any holder without the holder’s consent. 
 ARTICLE XIV 

UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN 

The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payment as to
which a Participant has a fixed and vested interest but which are not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any right that is greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the
Company. 
 ARTICLE XV 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 

15.1 Legend. The Committee may require each Person receiving shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other
Award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof. In addition to any legend required by the Plan, the certificates for such shares may
include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on Transfer. All certificates for shares of Common Stock delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the
Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed or any national securities exchange system upon whose system
the Common Stock is then quoted, any applicable federal or state securities law, and any applicable corporate law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 15.2 Other Plans. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional
compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 

15.3 No Right to Employment/Directorship/Consultancy. Neither the Plan nor the grant of any Option or other Award
hereunder shall give any Participant or other employee, 

  
 27 

 
Consultant or Non-Employee Director any right with respect to continuance of employment, consultancy or directorship by the Company or any Affiliate, nor
shall there be a limitation in any way on the right of the Company or any Affiliate by which an employee is employed or a Consultant or Non-Employee Director is retained to terminate such employment,
consultancy or directorship at any time. 
 15.4 Withholding of Taxes. The Company, or an Affiliate, as applicable,
shall have the right to deduct from any payment to be made pursuant to the Plan, or to otherwise require, prior to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock or the payment of any cash hereunder, payment by the Participant of, any federal,
state or local taxes required by law to be withheld. Upon the vesting of Restricted Stock (or other Award that is taxable upon vesting), or upon making an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, a Participant shall pay all required withholding to
the Company. Any minimum statutorily required withholding obligation with regard to any Participant may be satisfied, subject to the consent of the Committee, by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable or by delivering
shares of Common Stock already owned. Furthermore, at the discretion of the Committee, any additional tax obligations of a Participant with respect to an Award may be satisfied by further reducing the number of shares of Common Stock,
otherwise deliverable with respect to such Award, to the extent that such reductions do not result in any adverse accounting implications to the Company, as determined by the Committee. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock required to satisfy any
such tax obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be paid instead in cash by the Participant. 
 15.5 No
Assignment of Benefits. No Award or other benefit payable under the Plan shall, except as otherwise specifically provided by law or permitted by the Committee, be Transferable in any manner, and any attempt to Transfer any such benefit shall
be void, and any such benefit shall not in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any Person who shall be entitled to such benefit, nor shall it be subject to attachment or legal process for
or against such Person. 
 15.6 Listing and Other Conditions. 

(a) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, as long as the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or system sponsored
by a national securities association, the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award shall be conditioned upon such shares being listed on such exchange or system. The Company shall have no obligation to issue such shares unless and
until such shares are so listed, and the right to exercise any Option or other Award with respect to such shares shall be suspended until such listing has been effected. 

(b) If at any time counsel to the Company shall be of the opinion that any sale or delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Option or
other Award is or may in the circumstances be unlawful under the statutes, rules or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company shall have no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any application or to effect or to
maintain any qualification or registration under the Securities Act or otherwise, with respect to shares of Common Stock or Awards, and the right to exercise any Option or other Award shall be suspended until, in the opinion of said counsel, such
sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company. 

  
 28 

 (c) Upon termination of any period of suspension under this
Section 15.6, any Award affected by such suspension which shall not then have expired or terminated shall be reinstated as to all shares available before such suspension and as to shares which would otherwise have become
available during the period of such suspension, but no such suspension shall extend the term of any Award. 
 (d) A Participant shall be
required to supply the Company with certificates, representations and information that the Company requests and otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining any listing, registration, qualification, exemption, consent or approval the Company
deems necessary or appropriate. 
 15.7 Governing Law. The Plan and actions taken in connection herewith shall be
governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable Delaware principles of conflict of laws). 

15.8 Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Any suit, action or proceeding with respect to the Plan or any Award Agreement,
or any judgment entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in respect of any thereof, shall be resolved only in the courts of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the appellate
courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts. In that context, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and each Participant shall irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submit in any proceeding relating to the
Plan or any Award Agreement, or for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof (a “Proceeding”), to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware, the court of the United States of America
for the District of Delaware, and appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from any of the foregoing, and agree that all claims in respect of any such Proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Delaware State court or, to the
extent permitted by law, in such federal court, (b) consent that any such Proceeding may and shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that the Company and each Participant may now or thereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction
of any such Proceeding in any such court or that such Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agree not to plead or claim the same, (c) waive all right to trial by jury in any Proceeding (whether based on contract, tort or
otherwise) arising out of or relating to the Plan or any Award Agreement, (d) agree that service of process in any such Proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar
form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party, in the case of a Participant, at the Participant’s address shown in the books and records of the Company or, in the case of the Company, at the Company’s principal offices, attention General
Counsel, and (e) agree that nothing in the Plan shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. 

15.9 Construction. Wherever any words are used in the Plan in the masculine gender they shall be construed as though they
were also used in the feminine gender in all cases where they would so apply, and wherever words are used herein in the singular form they shall be construed as though they were also used in the plural form in all cases where they would so apply.

 15.10 Other Benefits. No Award granted or paid out under the Plan shall be deemed compensation for purposes of
computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or its Affiliates nor affect any benefit under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of
compensation. 

  
 29 

 15.11 Costs. The Company shall bear all expenses associated with
administering the Plan, including expenses of issuing Common Stock pursuant to Awards hereunder. 
 15.12 No Right to Same
Benefits. The provisions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant, and such Awards to individual Participants need not be the same in subsequent years. 

15.13 Death/Disability. The Committee may in its discretion require the transferee of a Participant to supply it with
written notice of the Participant’s death or Disability and to supply it with a copy of the will (in the case of the Participant’s death) or such other evidence as the Committee deems necessary to establish the validity of the transfer of
an Award. The Committee may also require that the agreement of the transferee to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. 

15.14 Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. All elections and transactions under the Plan by Persons subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act involving shares of Common Stock are intended to comply with any applicable exemptive condition under Rule 16b-3. The Committee may establish and adopt written
administrative guidelines, designed to facilitate compliance with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, as it may deem necessary or proper for the administration and operation of the Plan and the transaction of business thereunder. 

15.15 Section 409A of the Code. The Plan is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the
Code and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, it shall be paid in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including
proposed, temporary or final regulations or any other guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any provision in the Plan that is
inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code shall be deemed to be amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and to the extent such provision cannot be amended to comply therewith, such provision shall be null and void. The Company shall have no
liability to a Participant, or any other party, if an Award that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee or the Company and, in the event that
any amount or benefit under the Plan becomes subject to penalties under Section 409A of the Code, responsibility for payment of such penalties shall rest solely with the affected Participants and not with the Company. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision in the Plan or Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) that are otherwise required to be made under the Plan to a “specified employee” (as
defined under Section 409A of the Code) as a result of such employee’s separation from service (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A of the Code) shall be delayed for the first six (6) months following such separation
from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the Award Agreement) upon expiration of such delay period. 

  
 30 

 15.16 Successor and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding on all successors and
permitted assigns of a Participant, including, without limitation, the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate. 

15.17 Severability of Provisions. If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included. 

15.18 Payments to Minors, Etc. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent Person or other
Person incapable of receipt thereof shall be deemed paid when paid to such Person’s guardian or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such Person, and such payment shall fully discharge the Committee, the
Board, the Company, its Affiliates and their employees, agents and representatives with respect thereto. 
 15.19 Lock-Up Agreement. As a condition to the grant of an Award, if requested by the Company and the lead underwriter of any public offering of the Common Stock (the “Lead
Underwriter”), a Participant shall irrevocably agree not to sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, transfer the economic risk of ownership in, make any short sale of, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose
of, any interest in any Common Stock or any securities convertible into, derivative of, or exchangeable or exercisable for, or any other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock (except Common Stock included in such public offering or acquired on
the public market after such offering) during such period of time following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act that the Lead Underwriter shall specify (the
“Lock-Up Period”); provided, however, that such Lock-Up Period shall not
exceed or be greater than any Lock-Up Period imposed upon on Vine Investment LLC, Vine Investment II LLC or any affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P., which holds Common Stock, with respect to such public
offering of Common Stock. The Participant shall further agree to sign such documents as may be requested by the Lead Underwriter to effect the foregoing and agree that the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to Common
Stock acquired pursuant to an Award until the end of such Lock-Up Period. 
 15.20
Headings and Captions. The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan. 

15.21 Company Recoupment of Awards. A Participant’s rights with respect to any Award hereunder shall in all events
be subject to (i) any right that the Company may have under any Company recoupment policy or other agreement or arrangement with a Participant, or (ii) any right or obligation that the Company may have regarding the clawback of
“incentive-based compensation” under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

SECTION 3. DEDICATION AND SERVICE 

3.1 Dedication. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Shipper commits to this Agreement and agrees to deliver to the
Receipt Points for Gathering and Treating, (i) all Gas produced by Shipper from the Haynesville and Bossier formations which is attributable to Interests owned by Shipper within the lands and acreage described on Exhibit A attached
hereto (referred to as the “Committed Area”) during the Term and (ii) with respect to wells located on the Committed Area in which Shipper is the operator, Gas produced from such wells during the Term which is
attributable to the Interests of other working interest owners, overriding royalty interest owners, and royalty owners which is not taken “in-kind” by such owners and for which Shipper has the right
and/or obligation to market or deliver such Gas, for only so long as such Gas is not taken “in-kind” (collectively, the “Dedication”). 

(a) The following shall be excluded from the Dedication: 

(i) Gas produced by Shipper reasonably required for Shipper’s operations on the Committed Area and consumed by Shipper
prior to delivery to a Receipt Point; 
 (ii) Gas delivered to the gathering system owned by
Tri-State North Louisiana Midstream, LLC (“Tri-State”) pursuant to that certain Gas Gathering Agreement between Shipper and Tri-State dated. September 8, 2008, as amended by the First Amendment and Second Amendment thereto (the “Tri-State Agreement”) to fulfill volume
commitments in the Tri-State Agreement in effect until April 1, 2010 if such volume commitments are satisfied by such date; if the volume commitments are not satisfied by April 1. 2010, then

  
 2 

 
the volume commitments may be extended to April 1, 2011. After the volume commitment is satisfied, this Tri-State Agreement Gas will be subject to the
Dedication, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties and Gatherer shall have no further obligation to deliver Shipper Gas to Tri-State; 

(iii) Interests acquired by Shipper after the Effective Date that are subject to commitments or dedications in existence prior
to Shipper’s acquisition of the Interests; provided, however, Shipper at its sole option may include such Gas upon the expiration of such commitments or dedications; and 

(iv) By written request of Shipper, and approved by Gatherer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Gas
produced by Shipper from wells located in the Committed Area that are not operated by Shipper or Shipper Partner. 
 (b) Gatherer shall
deliver Shipper’s untreated Gas to the Tri-State Redelivery Points as identified in Exhibit I. This Gas delivered to Tri-State shall initially be excluded
from the Dedication as per Section 3.1(a)(ii) and any Gatherer’s fees that are provided for in Section 4. Shipper shall continue to pay the applicable fees to Tri-State until Shipper’s required
volume commitments to Tri-State are met. Upon Shipper’s satisfaction of its volume commitments to Tri-State, the Gas previously delivered to Tri-State shall become part of the Dedication and all terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply to the Gas. 

(c) Shipper has a Gas treating agreement with Hawk Field Services LLC (“Petrohawk”). Subject to prevailing pressures
allowing flow at the Petrohawk Redelivery Point, identified as such on Exhibit I, Gatherer shall deliver untreated Shipper Gas to the Petrohawk Redelivery Point if: (1) Gatherer has insufficient capacity to Treat Shipper Gas at its WOR
Plant; or (2) Shipper has more Gas than there is Treating capacity on the WOR Magnolia Gathering System, and in either event Shipper shall pay a reduced Gathering Fee of [***] per MMBtu for Gas redelivered to the Petrohawk Redelivery Point in
addition to the applicable Petrohawk fee. Shipper is responsible for all fees due to Petrohawk under the Petrohawk agreement for Treating as provided in this Section 3.1(c). 

(d) If Gatherer for any reason other than reasons caused by Shipper, events of Force Majeure, or the provisions of Section 3.3, or 8.4, is
unable for fifteen (15) consecutive days to Gather or Treat all or any portion of the Gas produced by Shipper within the Committed Area as required by this Agreement, Shipper shall notify Gatherer in writing of Shipper’s desire to
implement the provisions of this Section 3.1(d). If, within thirty (30) days of Gatherer’s receipt of such notice, Gatherer has not cured the failure to take all, or the affected portion, of Shipper’s Gas, then that portion of such
Gas that Gatherer is not Gathering or Treating shall be temporarily released from the Dedication. Gatherer acknowledges that Shipper may enter into alternative gathering or treating arrangements with third parties, provided that the duration of such
agreements will not exceed six (6) Months, unless otherwise agreed. The temporary release from the Dedication shall remain in place until the later on (i) such point in time as Gatherer demonstrates to Shipper’s reasonable
satisfaction that it is able to Gather or Treat the Gas as the case may be; or (ii) the expiration of the third party gathering or treating arrangements consistent with the preceding sentence.

 (e) Notwithstanding the Dedication. Shipper expressly reserves unto itself, its successors and
assigns the following: (i) the right to operate within the Committed Area free from any control by Gatherer, including, without limitation, the right (but never the obligation) to drill new wells, to repair, rework, deepen, plug back and
recomplete wells, to surrender. release or terminate any lease (in whole or in part) covering the affected land; (ii) the right to deliver at the well production to lessors of leases on such lands in quantities to fulfill lease obligations from
time to time, including the right to take royalty in kind; (iii) the right to use production for development and operation of such lands; (iv) the exclusive right to process Shipper Gas and Undedicated Shipper Gas in facilities not on the
Magnolia Gathering System for recovery and removal of certain liquefiable hydrocarbons, and (v) the right to own any Plant Products or Condensate. 

3.2 Gathering and Treating Services. 

(a) Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, Preferential Capacity (as defined below), Gatherer agrees
to Gather at the Receipt Points, Treat, dehydrate and provide redelivery compression to the Interconnecting Pipelines as more fully described below and deliver to Shipper, or for the account of Shipper, at the Redelivery Points, the total Thermal
Content of the Shipper Gas and Undedicated Shipper Gas received from Shipper at the Receipt Points, less Fuel as described in Section 3.4. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1,
Gatherer shall redeliver the Gas that it is required to redeliver to Shipper, or for Shipper’s account, at Redelivery Points at a quality meeting the specifications as of the Effective Date required by the Interconnecting Pipelines receiving
Shipper Gas and Undedicated Shipper Gas. To the extent that the specifications by said Interconnecting Pipeline(s) become more restrictive after the Effective Date and require additional services or Treatment to redeliver Shipper’s Gas or
Undedicated Shipper Gas hereunder, the parties shall follow the applicable provisions of Section 7, Additional Services. Gatherer shall redeliver Shipper Gas and Undedicated Shipper Gas at pressures sufficient to enter any applicable
Interconnecting Pipeline at a pressure not to exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure of such applicable Interconnecting Pipeline. Gatherer will be solely responsible for redelivery compression to the Interconnecting Pipelines, dehydration,
and amine treatment of the Gas Gathered pursuant to this Agreement. Gatherer shall be responsible for operating, maintaining, and repairing the Magnolia Gathering System in a timely manner and, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, for all
costs and expenses associated with the operation, maintenance, and repair of the Magnolia Gathering System. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Agreement, Gatherer’s obligations hereunder will be suspended to the extent affected by any delay or obstacle resulting from the delay or failure by Shipper to assign to Gatherer any
“Non-Assignable Agreement” pursuant to the terms of the PSA. The suspension(s) shall commence at the start of such delay or obstacle and end on the date(s) such delay(s) or obstacle(s) is cured.
Gatherer shall give written notice to Shipper within three (3) Business Days following the start of such delay or obstacle claimed by Gatherer to excuse performance pursuant to this Section 3.2(b). 

3.3 Plant Inlet Specifications. Shipper shall be required to comply with the Gas Specifications. Notwithstanding these Gas
Specifications, the Parties acknowledge and agree that if Gas exceeds (i) five percent (5%) CO2 or (ii) over twenty parts per million (20 ppm) H2S at 

  
 4 

 
the Plant inlets (“Plant Inlet Specifications”), then the capacity of such Plants may be reduced. In such event, Gatherer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
blend Shipper Gas with other Gas available on the Magnolia Gathering System to comply with the Plant Inlet Specifications. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.3 of the General Terms and Conditions, in the event that (i) Gatherer is
unable to blend Shipper Gas to comply with the Plant Inlet Specifications up to the capacity of the Initial Build Conditions, (ii) Gatherer is not able to obtain consents from the Shipper and any other Preferential Capacity Shippers to make
necessary and reasonable adjustments to bring the Gas within the Plant Inlet Specifications and (iii) Plant capacity is reduced, then Gatherer shall curtail Gas in the following order: (x) Gas delivered by third party shippers and
(y) Gas from a particular Receipt Point or Points not meeting the Plant Inlet Specifications, provided that in the event that more than one Receipt Point has Gas that exceeds the Plant Inlet Specifications, the Receipt Point containing the
greatest amount of CO2 and H2S will be curtailed first. The Parties acknowledge and agree that no breach of this Agreement shall occur, and no penalty or termination right is created, when the capacity of a particular Plant is reduced when Shipper
delivers Gas to the Receipt Points that does not meet the Plant Inlet Specifications to the extent, and only to the extent, that the delivery of such Gas causes the reduction in capacity of the applicable Plant. If Additional Services are provided
pursuant to Section 7, with respect to the Gas Specifications, Gatherer and Shipper shall amend the Plant Inlet Specifications as necessary to take into account the Additional Services. 

3.4 Fuel. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Gatherer may use Shipper Gas as Fuel in accordance with, and subject to the limitations
of, the provisions of this Section 3.4. 
 (a) Gathering Fuel. During, the Term, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Shipper shall
provide Fuel in kind to Gatherer for operation of the Gathering Facilities equal to [***], in terms of MMBtus, of the Gas delivered to Gatherer by Shipper for Gathering each Day at each Receipt Point (“Gathering Firer”). For
purposes hereof, Gathering Fuel shall include Lost and Unaccounted for Gas. 
 (b) Plant Fuel. In addition to Gathering Fuel described in
3.4(a) above, Shipper shall provide actual Fuel in kind to Gatherer equal to the amount of Gas (allocated pro-rata based on the amount of Gas delivered at the Receipt Points by any party during any given
month), in terms of MMBtus, which is retained and metered by Gatherer and consumed by the Plants for regeneration of the amine, generators for Plant power generation subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, Plant emission reduction
requirements, and fuel necessary to combust any H2S leaving vents in order to provide safe working conditions (“Plant Fuel”). 

SECTION 4. FEES AND CONSIDERATION 

4.1 Gathering Fee. Subject to the other terms and conditions herein, Gatherer shall charge and Shipper shall pay a fee for the
Gathering, compression, dehydration, Treatment, and redelivery of Gas hereunder a fee (the “Gathering Fee”) equal to [***] per MMBtu of Shipper Gas or Undedicated Shipper Gas delivered to Gatherer by Shipper. 

4.2 Fee Adjustment. The Gathering Fee shall escalate annually One Cent ($0.01) per MMBtu per year, commencing on the fifth anniversary
of the Effective Date and on the same day every year thereafter through and including the first (.1st) day of the ninth anniversary of the 

  
 5 

 
Effective Date, after which such annual escalations shall cease. After the ninth anniversary of the Effective Date, the Gathering Fee shall remain subject to changes pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 6 (Expansion Capacity). 7 (Additional Services and Interconnections) 8 (Gatherer Pressure Requirements), 9 (Annual Volume Commitments), and 10 (Favored Nations). 

4.3 Decrease in Gathering Fees. On the eleventh anniversary of the Effective Date, the Gathering Fee then in effect will be reduced
[***] per MMBtu, but will remain subject to the applicable fee changes referenced in Section 4.2 above. 
 4.4 Change in Laws.
Except as provided for in Section 17, if there is a material change in any law, rule or regulation imposed by any governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over Gatherer or the Magnolia Gathering System (a “Change in
Laws”), and such Change in Laws directly results in the imposition on Gatherer of an additional tax or fee (other than the income taxes of Gatherer) (a “New Tax”) or a cost or expense in relation to the services
provided by Gatherer hereunder that increases the cost of providing Gathering or Treating hereunder by more than 10% of the then-effective Gathering Fee (the “Threshold”), then: 

 

	 	(i)	Gatherer will provide Shipper with prompt notice of any Change in Laws as soon as practicable after Gatherer becomes aware of such; and 

 

	 	(ii)	if the Change in Laws: 

  

	 	(X)	results in a New Tax, Shipper shall reimburse Gatherer for the actual cost to Gatherer of the New Tax over and above the Threshold; 

  

	 	(Y)	otherwise results in an additional cost or expense to Gatherer, Shipper will reimburse Gatherer for the actual, direct and provable increase in Gatherer’s cost of providing Gathering or Treating, as applicable,
hereunder resulting directly from the Change in Laws over and above the Threshold; or 

  

	 	(Z)	at Shipper’s election, Gatherer and Shipper will negotiate in good faith to select and implement the most cost-effective solution available to satisfy the Change in Laws. If Shipper elects this option (Z), the
Parties agree to make any necessary amendments to the Agreement to: (i) preserve, to the greatest extent practicable, the economic benefits and risk allocation contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) implement the most cost effective
solutions to the Change in Laws. The Parties acknowledge that nothing in this Section 4.4 is intended to guarantee Gatherer’s rate of return. 

SECTION 5. CONSTRUCTION OF THE MAGNOLIA GATHERING SYSTEM AND PREFERENTIAL CAPACITY 

5.1 Magnolia Gathering System. Gatherer shall design and construct a new Gathering system that will incorporate portions of existing
gathering and treating facilities and additional new facilities and that will be capable of Gathering and Treating 500 MMcf per Day on the East side of the Red River (“EOR”), and, subject to the limitations described below,
200 MMcf per 

  
 6 

 
Day on the West side of the Red River (“WOR”), all such facilities FOR and WOR shown on the attached Exhibit B (collectively, these existing and new facilities
comprise the “Magnolia Gathering System”). The Magnolia Gathering System shall consist of the facilities described in the attached Exhibit C and shall be constructed in accordance with the schematics, plans, time
periods, and Initial Build Conditions attached as Exhibits B, C and D in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction. Gatherer shall utilize commercially
reasonable efforts to complete construction of the Magnolia Gathering System by or before December 31, 2010 (the “Gathering System Completion Date”) provided that no later than June 30, 2010, all Receipt Points have
been designated as per Section 5.6. Gatherer shall deliver to Shipper written notice of the Gathering System Completion Date within three (3) Business Days after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties
acknowledge that the Magnolia Gathering System shall have the following limitations with respect to capacity: (i) the portion of the Magnolia Gathering System FOR shall not be capable of Gathering and Treating 500 MMcf per Day until such time
as Plant 2 at the Magnolia site is operational as shown on Exhibit D; and, (ii) the portion of the Magnolia Gathering System WOR shall be capable of Gathering and Treating 200 MMcf per Day. 

5.2 Initial Build Conditions and Milestone Completion Dates. The Magnolia Gathering System, as constructed pursuant to this
Section 5, shall comply with the “Initial Build Conditions” set forth on the attached Exhibits B and C. In addition, Gatherer shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to complete construction of the
specific construction milestones for the Magnolia Gathering System detailed in the attached Exhibit D (the “Milestone Completion Dates”), which may be revised upon mutual agreement of the Preferential Capacity Shippers
and Gatherer. If Gatherer anticipates, in its reasonable judgment and opinion, that it will not meet a Milestone Completion Date, then Gatherer shall provide Shipper as much advance notice as reasonably possible. 

5.3 Remedies for Failure to Meet Milestone Completion Dates. In the event that Gatherer fails to meet a Milestone Completion Date in the
absence of Force Majeure, Shipper shall be entitled to the cumulative remedies set forth in Sections 5.3(a) and (b) below: 
 (a) For
each Day that Shipper is prevented from delivering any Gas to the Magnolia Gathering System, Shipper shall, in addition to the remedies provided for in Section 5.3(b) below, be entitled to one (1) Day of Gathering service without paying the
associated Gathering Fee then in effect for such well or wells impacted as a result of the failure to meet the applicable Milestone Completion Date, beginning with the first delivery of Gas from the well or wells, with such Days of Gathering service
without paying the associated Gathering Fee not to exceed ninety (90) Days of Gathering service for such well or wells; and, 
 (b)
Subject to the provisions of Section 18.1, Shipper may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to complete construction of those portions of the Magnolia Gathering System for which Gatherer has not met an applicable Milestone Completion Date at
Shipper’s sole cost and expense and elect to either: (i) retain ownership of such constructed facilities, in which case Gatherer shall provide necessary access and cooperate with Shipper to facilitate the construction and operation of such
facilities, provided that to the extent Shipper retains ownership, Gatherer shall be compensated by Shipper for the actual cost of constructing the relevant portions of the Magnolia Gathering System through the date such election is exercised; or.
(ii) convey ownership of such constructed facilities to Gatherer and recover from Gatherer the actual costs to construct the facilities (including but not limited cost of equipment and labor). 

  
 7 

 5.4 Construction Plans. Upon acceptance by Gatherer and the Preferential Capacity Shippers
of the schematics, plans and time periods identified on Exhibit D, and the Initial Build Conditions, or the applicable schematics, plans, time periods and specifications for any new facilities excluding the Receipt Points, which are provided
for in Section 5.6 (collectively the “Construction Plan(s)”) to be constructed pursuant to this Agreement, Gatherer will proceed with the applicable Construction Plan in a good and workmanlike manner, consistent with
prudent industry practices, customary engineering practices, to Gatherer’s specifications and in compliance with the Initial Build Conditions and all applicable laws, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction.
Furthermore, Gatherer will use its best efforts to complete the work under any applicable Construction Plans in accordance with the mutually agreeable timelines provided therein (including the Expansion Completion Deadlines provided for in
Exhibit E). Such Construction plans for Expansion Capacity or new facilities shall also have mutually agreeable Milestone Completion Dates similar to those described in Section 5.2 above, and the remedies under Sections 5.3 and 11.(b)
shall apply, as applicable, to such Expansions or new facilities. 
 5.5 Periodic Planning Meetings. The Parties and Shipper Partner
shall meet no less often than monthly to: (i) discuss Shippers drilling plans, (ii) review the progress of construction, (iii) review Shipper’s good faith production forecasts, (iv) review the facility requirements,
including potential Receipt Points, for the Magnolia Gathering System and any required or desirable changes in the design scope; (v) any changes to the construction performance and operations performance as per the requirements and timelines
agreed upon as part of this Agreement; and (vi) any other matters concerning the Parties’ performance under the Agreement. Gatherer will make available on a monthly basis, in addition to the daily readings Shipper can access on Gatherers
operational data acquisition system, a report detailing operational data as decided upon by the Parties during the initial and on-going weekly planning meetings as provided in this Section 5.5. The
purpose of these meetings is to provide meaningful communication and advance planning for facilities on the Magnolia Gathering system. The Parties shall each designate a representative to participate in the Parties weekly planning meetings and serve
as a single point of contact for all planning, operations and coordination aspects of this Agreement. 
 5.6 Method of Selecting Receipt
Points and Construction of Initial Build Laterals. At any time during the Term, either of the Preferential Capacity Shippers may designate a Receipt Point up to the collective number of Receipt Points identified on Exhibit C in each of
the governmental sections within the Committed Area from which Gatherer will receive Shipper Gas (“Receipt Points”). Upon Gatherer’s receipt of such Preferential Capacity Shipper’s written notice designating such
Receipt Points and the designated operator of such Receipt Points (the “Receipt Point Notice”), Gatherer shall commence and diligently acquire the necessary
rights-of-way and permits in order to construct the lateral Gathering pipelines to connect the designated Receipt Points (the “Initial Build
Laterals” as further defined in the General Terms and Conditions) and will use its best efforts to have the applicable Receipt Point and Initial Build Lateral operational and ready to receive Gas (the “Service
Date”) on the date that is ninety (90) days from Gatherer’s receipt of such Preferential Capacity Shipper’s notice, If Gatherer is unable 

  
 8 

 
to complete the Receipt Point by the Service Date. then the provisions of Section 5.3 (a) and (b) are applicable to the Receipt Point and initial Build Laterals in accordance with
Exhibit D. Gatherer and the Preferential Capacity Shippers have agreed the initial Build Laterals that extend off the Core Lines consist of 6” pipelines. The Initial Build Laterals include a total of 119.33 miles of six-inch diameter pipeline as detailed in Exhibits B and C. Anytime on or before March 1, 2010, the Preferential Capacity Shippers may elect to utilize up to 119.33 miles of six-inch diameter pipe in an alternate fashion than as that initially designed, as long as the total mileage of six inch pipe used by the Preferential Capacity Shippers collectively does not exceed 119.33 miles. The
119.33 miles of six-inch diameter pipeline maximum is exclusive of: (i) Red River bores; (ii) city limit pipelines assuming designated Receipt Point locations are within a city limit; and
(iii) any laterals, Trunk Lines, flow lines and facilities required under Section 6 of this Agreement and (iv) any laterals, Trunk Lines, flow lines and facilities required under Section 7 of this Agreement. If more than 119.33
miles of six-inch diameter pipelines are required by the Preferential Capacity Shippers for Initial Build Laterals, then such laterals will be completed under the provisions provided in Section 7. 

5.7 Interconnections as part of Initial Build. The Parties acknowledge that part of the assets acquired pursuant to the PSA include two
existing Interconnections with Gulf South Pipeline Company’s Legacy System, one on each WOR and EOR. Gatherer will: (i) redeliver Shipper Gas produced from EOR wells or WOR wells to those existing Interconnections with Gulf South Pipeline
Company’s Legacy System; and (ii) construct in total for Preferential Capacity Shippers three (3) additional EOR Interconnections and two (2) additional WOR Interconnections (for a total of five new Interconnections) as described
on Exhibit L One of the three new Interconnections EOR will be to Gulf South Pipeline Company’s Legacy System downstream of Gulf South’s Hall Summit compressor station at a location near the area known as the “Magnolia
Site” located in Section 3, Township 14, Range 9, Red River Parish, Louisiana. The location of the remaining points of Interconnection shall be subject to Gatherer’s sole discretion, reasonably exercised. These five new
Interconnections shall be constructed as part of the Initial Build. For purposes of clarification and avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, Shipper Gas may be re-delivered to any Redelivery Point
as nominated by Shipper up to the Interconnection’s stated capacity in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each of the five Interconnections referenced above are designed to accommodate a capacity of two hundred fifty
(250) MMcf per Day. Gatherer will so construct or arrange the Plants to provide for future Interconnections to reduce potential downtime. 

5.8 Power In-Service Date for Magnolia Gathering System. Gatherer shall use reasonable efforts
to acquire commercial power for the Plants as soon as reasonably possible following the Effective Date. If after one (1) year from the Effective Date the applicable commercial power company does not provide power or Gatherer determines that it
is not economically feasible for Gatherer to purchase such power, then Gatherer shall bear the costs associated with the actual fuel required to operate the generators after such date. 

5.9 Preferential Capacity. Shipper Partner and Shipper (Shipper Partner and Shipper shall collectively be referred to as
“Preferential Capacity Shippers”) shall collectively have the exclusive preferential right over all third parties to the complete and total available capacity as provided herein, including, without limitation, blending
capacity. of the Magnolia Gathering System (inclusive of the Treating Plants. for the avoidance of doubt) in complete preference to 

  
 9 

 
and without any shared or proportional decrease in the Preferential Capacity Shippers’ Gas with any other shipper on the Magnolia Gathering System (inclusive of the Treating Plants, for the
avoidance of doubt) in event of Force Majeure, Plant Maintenance or other partial or full curtailment (the “Preferential Capacity”). Gatherer shall be entitled to use any portion of the Preferential Capacity, on an
interruptible basis, not necessary for the receipt and Treatment of the Preferential Capacity Shipper’s Gas, without restriction or obligation to the Preferential Capacity Shippers other than to provide the Preferential Capacity Shippers with
the Preferential Capacity. Preferential Capacity shall be allocated between Preferential Capacity Shippers on a pro rata basis based on the applicable Annual Volume Commitment of the Preferential Capacity Shippers. Initially, there shall be only two
Preferential Capacity Shippers on the Magnolia Gathering System–Shipper and Shipper Partner; provided, however, in the event that Shipper assigns less than all its interest in this Agreement to a third party, then Shipper shall be entitled, at
its election, to apportion all, some or none of the applicable Volume Commitment and/or Preferential Capacity between Shipper and its assignee. Upon apportionment of all or some Preferential Capacity to an assignee of Shipper, such assignee shall
become a Preferential Capacity Shipper. 
 5.10 Multi-line Rights of Way. 

(a) With respect to any multi-line rights of way that are obtained by Gatherer from Shipper pursuant to the PSA, Gatherer will assign to
Shipper the right to construct and operate the pipelines identified on Exhibit K. Such pipeline(s) shall be constructed and operated (a) at the sole risk and expense of Shipper, (b) pursuant to spacing specifications and
requirements of Gatherer and in a manner that does not interfere with Gatherer’s operations, (c) at a location and within a specific area, approved in writing by Gatherer. Gatherer shall assign to Shipper the right to construct and operate
pipelines in addition to those referenced in Exhibit K provided that such pipelines comply with requirements (a)-(c) in the foregoing sentence of this Section and do not adversely affect Gatherer’s future plans and anticipated needs in
order to provide service under this Agreement. 
 (b) Gatherer will use its reasonable efforts to obtain multi-line and multi-use rights of way where possible. In the event multi-line rights are obtained by Gatherer, Shipper may request the assignment of the right to construct and operate one or more pipelines pursuant to such
multi-line rights. Gatherer shall consent to such request for assignment by Shipper, unless such assignment would adversely affect Gatherer’s future plans and anticipated needs in order to provide service under this Agreement. Gatherer shall
consider a request for assignment by Shipper in good faith based on Gatherer’s future plans and anticipated needs, but Gatherer in its sole discretion shall determine whether to comply with such request for assignment. In the event Gatherer has
the authority to do so and grants to Shipper the right to construct and operate one or more additional pipelines pursuant to the multi-line rights, such pipeline(s) shall be constructed and operated (i) at the sole risk and expense of Shipper,
(ii) pursuant to spacing specifications and requirements of Gatherer, (iii) at a location and within a specific area, approved in writing by Gatherer, and (iv) so as not to interfere with Gatherer’s operations. 

  
 10 

 SECTION 6. EXPANSION CAPACITY 

6.1 Expansion Capacity Request. During the first five years of the Term, and upon written notice from Shipper (each notice being an
“Expansion Capacity Request”) for an expansion of the capacity of the Magnolia Gathering System (“Expansion Capacity”), Gatherer shall expand the Magnolia Gathering System under the terms of this
Section 6. Within the time periods provided on the attached Exhibit E, Gatherer shall commence and acquire the necessary rights-of-way and permits, and
execute until complete, construction of Gathering lines, including necessary laterals, facilities and Plants necessary to increase the capacity of the Magnolia Gathering System (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is inclusive of the Initial Build
Laterals) in minimum of 100 MMcf per Day increments up to a maximum additional capacity of 500 MMcf per Day to the FOR system and 500 MMcf per Day to the WOR system. Each 100 MMcf per Day increment may not be divided between FOR and WOR. The
Expansion Capacity Request will specify Shipper’s requested additional capacity increase amount (in 100 MMcf per Day increments) and the location in the Committed Area, if any, the Shipper is requesting Gatherer to expand. Shipper may elect
more than one 100 MMcf per Day increment at any one time. The Gathering Fee for all Gas delivered and Gathered through the Magnolia Gathering System shall adjust upon the in service date of Expansion Capacity, as specified in the attached Exhibit
F (the “Revised Gathering Fee”). Shipper and Shipper Partner may make joint or separate Expansion Capacity Requests as long as the total capacity request meets the 100 MMcf per Day increment requirements for Expansion
Capacity. Furthermore, in the event of an Expansion Capacity Request, then the provisions of Section 6.2 below shall apply with respect to both Shipper and Shipper Partner, regardless of whether Shipper or Shipper Partner make an Expansion
Capacity Request. 
 6.2 Gathering Fees Associated with Expansion Capacity. Gathering Fees as a result of Expansion Capacity Requests
occurring in the first five years after the Effective Date and up to a total of 1,000 MMcf per Day for FOR and a total of 700 MMcf per Day for WOR shall be calculated pursuant to Exhibit F. The Revised Gathering Fees that result from any
Expansion will remain subject to the annual escalation, if applicable, and all other provisions herein which may further change the Gathering Fee from time-to-time.
Detailed examples of how the Revised Gathering Fee is calculated with different expansion elections is illustrated in Exhibit F. Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall the Gathering Fee for the term of the Agreement exceed [***] or be
less than [***] excluding adjustments to the Gathering Fee that result from operation of the following provisions in the Gathering and Treating Agreement: Subsection 4.2 (Annual Escalation), Subsection 9.2 (Annual Volume Commitments), Subsection 10
(Favored Nations), and Subsection 8.1(c) (Pressure), Section 6 (Expansion Capacity), and Section 7 (Additional Services). The Base Fees listed on Exhibit F are based upon specific design conditions and assumptions such as the time
of construction, facilities, location of the facilities, flow rate, ratable volumes, etc. A copy of these design conditions/assumptions are found on Exhibit C and Exhibit D to this Agreement. 

6.3 Expansion Capacity Annual Volume Commitment. Shipper covenants and agrees that during the first ten (10) years from the date of
completion of any increment of additional capacity requested by Shipper, in addition to and apart from any Annual Volume Commitment (as defined in Section 9.1) made herein, Shipper will deliver to Gatherer for Gathering from the Committed Area
a minimum quantity of Gas each Contract Year equal to the amount of 

  
 11 

 
additional incremental capacity requested pursuant to an Expansion Capacity Request (an “Expansion Capacity Annual Volume Commitment”) (and, to the extent that Shipper
delivers an amount of Gas up to the Expansion Capacity Annual Volume Commitment, then that quantity of Gas shall be designated herein as “Incremental Gas” for purposes of Section 9.8). By way of example. if Shipper
requests a 100 MMcf per Day expansion of incremental capacity. then the Expansion Capacity Annual Volume Commitment will be: (i) the thermal equivalent in MMBtu’s of 100 MMcf per Day; times (ii) three hundred sixty-five (365). For
purposes of the Expansion Capacity Annual Volume Commitment, the Gross Heating Value of the Gas will be deemed to be nine hundred fifty (950) MMBtu’s per Mcf. Subject to Sections 9.5 and 9.6, in any year that Shipper fails to meet the
total of all outstanding Expansion Capacity Annual Volume Commitments for that year (an “Expansion Capacity Volume Shortfall”), Shipper shall at its sole election, (i) remit a payment to Gatherer calculated by
multiplying the Expansion Capacity Volume Shortfall for the applicable contract year by the Gathering Fees in effect during the corresponding year (the “Expansion Capacity Volume Shortfall Payment”); or (ii) pay an
amount of money, paid in twelve (12) equal monthly installments, equal to the Expansion Capacity Volume Shortfall Payment plus interest at a rate that is the greater of: (X) [***]; or (Y) [***] plus the difference between: (i) the 10 Year
U.S. Treasury Note Yield Curve Rates (as published in the “Commodities Report” in the Wall Street Journal for each day (the “10 Year Note Yield”)) for the last Business Day of the applicable Contract Year, and
(ii) the 10 Year Note Yield as of the Effective Date. Gatherer shall calculate the Expansion Capacity Volume Shortfall and Expansion Capacity Volume Shortfall Payment, if any, within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Contract
Year in which the shortfall occurred, and the results shall be promptly provided in writing to Shipper. Shipper shall remit the Expansion Capacity Volume Shortfall Payment or first Expansion Capacity Volume Shortfall Payment monthly installment, if
any, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice containing the Expansion Capacity Volume Shortfall Payment calculation. Subsequent Expansion Capacity Volume Shortfall and Expansion Capacity Volume Shortfall Payment calculations and
payments shall be made in the same manner upon expiration of each successive Contract Year. 
 6.4 Exchange of Information. To the
extent permitted by applicable law as well as any contractual limitations with third parties, the Parties will periodically exchange information regarding future utilization of the Magnolia Gathering System by Shipper, Shipper Partner and/or Third
Party Gas. 
 SECTION 7. ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND INTERCONNECTIONS 

7.1 Additional Services. At any time during the Term, Shipper can request that Gatherer provide Additional Services or construct
Additional Interconnections under this Agreement. The term “Additional Services” shall mean the provision of additional services or the installation of additional facilities that are not contemplated by Sections 5 and 6 of
this Agreement. Additional Services may include, but are not limited to, such services or facilities necessary to increase capacity (to the extent not covered in Sections 5 and 6), to reduce pressures as requested by Shipper, including, without
limitation, adding of additional pipe, looping of lines, or additional compression, and any additional Treating, processing services, or Additional Interconnections. The term “Additional Interconnections” shall mean the
addition of Interconnections in excess of those contemplated in Section 5.7 of this Agreement. 

  
 12 

 7.2 Notice of Request for Additional Services and Gatherer Proposal. If Shipper desires
Additional Services or Additional Interconnections, then Shipper shall deliver written notice to Gatherer that describes the Additional Services or Additional Interconnections requested by Shipper. Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such
notice, or as soon as reasonably possible after Gatherer receives all cost estimates from Interconnecting Pipelines or third parties if such cost estimates are not received within the 15-day period, Gatherer
shall submit to Shipper a proposal for such Additional Services or Additional Interconnections and the additional Gathering Fee. if applicable, in connection therewith (the “Additional Services Proposal”). The additional
Gathering Fee, if applicable, which shall become effective upon completion of the construction of the Additional Services, shall be calculated based on the following factors: (i) the remaining term of the Agreement; (ii) capital
expenditures for the Additional Services; and, (iii) the greater of: (X) Gatherer’s [***] internal required rate of return; or (Y) Gatherer’s [***] internal required rate of return plus the difference between: (i) the
10 Year Note Yield on the date of calculation; less (ii) the 10 Year Note Yield as of the Effective Date. An example of this calculation is provided in Exhibit G. Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Additional Services
Proposal, Shipper shall notify Gatherer in writing either (x) to commence construction for such Additional Services or Additional Interconnections, (y) that Shipper shall construct such Additional Services or Additional Interconnections as
provided in Section 7.3 below or (z) that Shipper has elected not to require construction of the requested Additional Services or Additional Interconnections at such time. If Shipper notifies Gatherer to commence construction for such
Additional Services or Additional Interconnections, Gatherer and Shipper shall mutually agree on a written build schedule and construction milestones for the Additional Services or Additional Interconnections. Upon such mutual agreement, Gatherer
shall commence and acquire the necessary rights-of-way and permits, and execute until complete, construction for such Additional Services or Additional Interconnections,
including following the procedures for failure to meet the Milestone Completion Dates as provided for in Section 5.3. 
 7.3 Shipper
Construction of Additional Facilities or Additional Interconnections. In the event that Shipper elects the option set forth in Section 7.2(y) above, then Shipper shall complete the construction for such Additional Services or Additional
Interconnections at its sole cost and expense, in which case Shipper shall either (i) own those facilities so constructed by Shipper and Gatherer shall provide necessary access and cooperate with Shipper to facilitate the construction and
operation of such facilities or (ii) subject to Gatherer’s approval at Gatherer’s sole discretion, convey ownership and operatorship of such Additional Facilities or Additional Interconnections to Gatherer and recover from Gatherer
the actual costs to construct such facilities (including but not limited to cost of equipment and labor). 
 SECTION 8. GATHERER
PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS 
 8.1 Pressure Requirements. Gatherer shall maintain the following daily pressure requirements on the
Magnolia Gathering System (collectively, the “Pressure Requirements”): 
 (a) The daily average pressure at any
individual Receipt Point shall not exceed 1,100 psig (the “Maximum Pressure”). 
 (b) The daily average pressure at
all Receipt Points shall not exceed 975 psig (“Average Pressure”). 

  
 13 

 (c) Reduction in Gathering Fees for Failure to Comply With Pressure Requirements During the
Primary Term. In the event that any of the Pressure Requirements are exceeded for any reason other than (i) Force Majeure, (ii) Plant Maintenance (but not any other maintenance) and/or (iii) the delivery of volumes by Shipper which
cause hydraulic constraints pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.4 below, then the Gathering Fees shall be reduced as follows: (i) in the event that the average daily pressure at any Receipt Point exceeds the Maximum Pressure for a
cumulative fifteen (15) days in any Contract Year, the Gathering Fee then in effect shall be reduced by [***] per MMBtu with respect to the volume of Shipper Gas delivered to the particular Receipt Point during the applicable year; and,
(ii) in the event that the average daily pressure at all Receipt Points exceeds the Average Pressure for a cumulative fifteen (15) days in any Contract Year, the Gathering Fee then in effect shall be reduced by [***] per MMBtu with respect
to the volume of Shipper Gas delivered to all Receipt Points during the applicable year. If both preceding Gathering Fee reductions (i) and (ii) apply, only the greater of the two potential Gathering Fee reductions will apply. Within thirty
(30) Days of the end of the applicable Contract Year, Gatherer will refund to Shipper the amount due pursuant to the applicable fee reduction. 

8.2 Relief from Pressure Requirements. The Parties agree to waive the Pressure Requirements during the time the compression facilities
described on Exhibit C are being installed and made operational in accordance with the schedule attached on Exhibit D during which time the average daily pressure at any Receipt Point shall not exceed 1,325 psig. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the waiver of the Pressure Requirements will not otherwise relieve the Parties of the obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to meet the Gathering System Completion Date or the Milestone Completion
Dates. 
 8.3 Permanent Release of Shipper Gas for Failure to Comply with the Pressure Requirements. If the daily average pressure at
any Receipt Point exceeds the Pressure Requirements applicable to such Receipt Point (and Gatherer is not otherwise relieved of the obligation to maintain the Pressure Requirements pursuant to Section 8.2) for any thirty (30) consecutive
Day period, and such excess pressure persists after notice to Gatherer and the opportunity for Gatherer to cure the same within a commercially reasonable time, then Shipper shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify Gatherer in writing
of its intent to immediately and permanently release from the Dedication any or all volumes of Shipper Gas delivered through the Receipt Points at which Gatherer was unable to comply with the Pressure Requirements for a period of thirty
(30) consecutive Days. If the daily average pressure at all of the Receipt Points exceeds the Pressure Requirements (and Gatherer is not otherwise relieved of the obligation to maintain the Pressure Requirements pursuant to Section 8.2)
and such excess pressure persists after notice to Gatherer and the opportunity for Gatherer to cure the same, then Shipper shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify Gatherer in writing of its intent to terminate this Agreement, which
termination shall become effective thirty (30) Days from the date of such notice. 
 8.4 Relief From Pressure
Requirements Due To Hydraulic Constraints. Gatherer and Shipper have mutually agreed to the size of the Trunk Lines, Core Lines, and Initial Build Laterals. In the event that delivery of volumes by Shipper causes hydraulic constraints that
prevent Gatherer from complying with the Pressure Requirements, then all Receipt Points affected by such constraints will be excluded from the Pressure Requirements until such time as 

  
 14 

 
such constraints no longer occur. Gatherer will notify Shipper within a reasonable time with a list of the Receipt Points that are affected by such constraints. Shipper may request Gatherer to
remedy the hydraulic constraints, in which such remedies would comply with the terms and provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement. 

SECTION 9. ANNUAL VOLUME COMMITMENTS 

9.1 Volume Commitments. During the first ten (10) years of this Agreement, Shipper will deliver to Gatherer for Gathering from the
Committed Area the following minimum quantities of Gas each year (each an “Annual Volume Commitments”): 
  

			
	Contract Year 1: [***] MMBtu	  	Contract Year 6: [***] MMBtu
	Contract Year 2: [***] MMBtu	  	Contract Year 7: [***] MMBtu
	Contract Year 3: [***] MMBtu	  	Contract Year 8: [***] MMBtu
	Contract Year 4: [***] MMBtu	  	Contract Year 9: [***] MMBtu
	Contract Year 5: [***] MMBtu	  	Contract Year 10: [***] MMBtu

 9.2 Fee Reduction for Meeting Total Volume Commitment. The total volume commitment is [***] MMBtu (the
“Total Volume Commitment”). If Shipper meets its Total Volume Commitment during Contract Years 1-9, which commitment shall include the application of Third Party Gas as provided below,
the Gathering Fee then in effect will be reduced [***] per MMBtu effective the first (1st) day of the Month following the date Shipper meets its Total Volume Commitment, but will remain subject to any other provision herein that operates to change
the Gathering Fee thereafter. 
 9.3 Calculation of Volume Shortfalls. The Contract Year 1 Volume Commitment shall commence on the
Effective Date and shall run through the first anniversary of the Effective Date. Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.5 and 9.6, if in any Contract Year that Shipper fails to meet the Annual Volume Commitment (a “Volume
Shortfall”), Shipper shall elect in writing to either: (i) remit a payment to Gatherer calculated by multiplying the Volume Shortfall for the applicable Contract Year by the Gathering Fee then in effect during the corresponding
Contract Year (the “Volume Shortfall Payment”); or (ii) pay an amount of money, divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments, equal to the Volume Shortfall Payment plus interest at a rate that is the greater
of: (X) [***], or (Y) [***] plus the difference between: (i) the 10 Year Note Yield on the last Business Day of the applicable Contract Year; less (ii) the 10 Year Note Yield as of the Effective Date. Gatherer shall calculate the Volume
Shortfall and Volume Shortfall Payment, if any, within sixty (60) days after the expiration of Contract Year in which the shortfall occurred, and the results shall be promptly provided in writing to Shipper. Shipper shall remit the Volume
Shortfall Payment or first Volume Shortfall Payment monthly installment, if any, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice containing the Volume Shortfall Payment calculation. Subsequent Volume Shortfall and Volume Shortfall Payment
calculations and payments shall be made in the same manner upon expiration of each successive Contract Year. 
 9.4 Third Party Gas to be
Applied to Volume Commitments. Any and all Undedicated Shipper Gas and any Gas delivered by a party other than the Preferential Capacity Shippers (collectively, “Third Party Gas”), shall be treated as
Shipper Gas for purposes of calculating the Annual Volume Commitments and Total Volume Commitment. Gatherer shall apply Third Party 

  
 15 

 
Gas to the Shipper Gas Volume Commitment solely on a MMBtu to MMBtu (i.e.. 1:1) basis. Gas delivered by Preferential Capacity Shippers from outside the Committed Area will first be credited to
the respective Shipper or Shipper Partner. The balance of Third Party Gas shall be allocated between Shipper and Shipper Partner calculated as a ratio: (i) the numerator of which is Shipper Gas delivered to the Magnolia Gathering System, and
(ii) the denominator of which is (x) Gas delivered by Shipper Partner from within the Committed Area plus (y) Shipper Gas delivered to the Magnolia Gathering System. Any amount by which the volume of actual Gas delivered by Shipper in
a Contract Year exceeds the Annual Volume Commitment for the corresponding year (“Excess Delivered Volumes”) shall be deemed part of the volume of actual Gas delivered for the next annual Volume Shortfall calculation.
Unapplied Excess Delivered Volumes shall continue to carry forward until used to satisfy a committed quantity or until all commitment years have elapsed. If Shipper has met its Total Volume Commitments under the terms of this Section 9 and/or
Section 6 of this Agreement, then such Excess Delivered Volumes shall be applied to Shipper Partner’s Annual Volume Commitments. 

9.5 Reduction in Volume Commitment in the Event of Permanent Release. In the event of a permanent release of Gas from the Dedication
pursuant to this Agreement, then the Annual Volume Commitments or any Expansion Capacity Annual Volume Commitments shall be proportionately reduced to reflect such release from the Dedication. 

9.6 Reduction in Volume Commitment for Failure to Meet Pressure Requirements. Except for reasons of (i) Force Majeure,
(ii) Plant Maintenance (but not any other maintenance), (iii) the delivery of Shipper Gas in excess of the Gas Specifications, (iv) Shipper delivering Gas in a manner that causes hydraulic constraints, or (v) violation by Shipper of
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event that Shipper is unable to produce Gas as a result of a violation of the Pressure Requirements hereunder and/or Gatherer is unable to receive all Shipper Gas tendered to the Magnolia Gathering
System, then Shipper’s Annual Volume Commitments and/or any Expansion Volume Commitments shall be credited by an amount equal to the product of the following: (i) the Annual Volume Commitment and/or Expansion Capacity Annual Volume
Commitment divided by 365 and (ii) the total volume of Shipper Gas tendered to, but not accepted on, the Magnolia Gathering System divided by the total capacity of the Magnolia Gathering System. 

9.7 Reduction in Annual Volume Commitment, Generally. Except as expressly provided for in Sections 9.5 and 9.6 above, the Annual Volume
Commitments and/or Expansion Capacity Annual Volume Commitment shall be reduced by any Gas that Gatherer is not able to receive from Shipper on any Day that Shipper is capable of delivering within the Initial Build Conditions, whether or not such
failure is caused by Force Majeure. 
 9.8 Incremental Gas Volumes. Any Incremental Gas delivered pursuant to Section 6 shall
count to satisfy the Total Volume Commitment required to achieve the Fee Reduction in Section 9.2. 

  
 16 

 SECTION 10. FAVORED NATIONS 

If at any time Gatherer provides terms to any third party delivering Gas into the Magnolia Gathering System with respect to a combination of
services substantially similar to those provided hereunder that are more favorable than those received (or to be received) by Shipper, then Gatherer shall notify Shipper thereof, and the terms of this Agreement will be deemed amended, retroactive to
the date of the execution of the documents between Gatherer and the third party, to provide the same economics and deal terms to Shipper. 

SECTION 11. PARENT GUARANTY AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES 

11.1 Parent Guaranty. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Gatherer shall deliver to Shipper a guaranty in the form of
Exhibit H attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes (the “Guaranty”), executed by Guarantor, pursuant to which Guarantor guarantees to Shipper the timely payment and performance of Gatherer’s
obligations under this Agreement. 
 11.2 Timely Completion of the Magnolia Gathering System. The Parties acknowledge and agree that
Shipper’s successful development of the Committed Area depends upon the timely completion of the Magnolia Gathering System. In addition, it may be difficult to calculate the amount of damages or Losses Shipper incurs in the event that the
Magnolia Gathering. System is not completed by the Gathering System Completion Date and in a manner that complies with the Initial Build Conditions. The Parties agree that, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Shipper hereunder,
Shipper is entitled to: 
 (a) If Gatherer has not completed the Magnolia Gathering System by the Gathering System Completion Date and any
portion of such failure to complete is due to any reason other than Force Majeure or Shipper’s breach of this Agreement, then Shipper shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and purchase the existing assets comprising the Magnolia
Gathering System, as well as the assets acquired pursuant to the PSA, at the (i) actual tax book value of such assets, as determined from the books and records of Gatherer, in the case of newly constructed facilities, and (ii) the purchase
price paid by Gatherer, in the case of the assets acquired pursuant to the PSA; without limiting the foregoing, if the Magnolia Gathering System is not completed by the Gathering System Completion Date as extended by reason of Force Majeure or
Shipper’s breach of this Agreement the same remedy as provided in this Section 11.2(a) shall apply; or, 
 (b) If the Magnolia Gathering
System has not been completed within ninety (90) Days after the Gathering System Completion Date (the “Liquidated Damages Date”), and to the extent that neither party has previously exercised its termination rights under
this Agreement, then for each day after the applicable Liquidated Damages Date in which the Magnolia Gathering System completion has not occurred, Gatherer shall pay Shipper liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, in the amount of [***] per Day
following the Liquidated Damages Date (“Liquidated Damages”). Liquidated Damages which may be owed by Gatherer for any Day shall be proportionately reduced based upon the proportionate volume of Shipper Gas that Gatherer can
Gather and Treat on the Magnolia Gathering System under this Agreement for that particular Day to the daily capacity of the Initial Build Conditions for the Magnolia Gathering System. Liquidated Damages shall not be owed for a period of greater than
one year; provided, however, in the event that the Magnolia Gathering System has not been completed by the first anniversary of the Liquidated Damages Date, Shipper may exercise the rights provided in Section 11.2(a) above. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 11.2(b), the 

  
 17 

 
Liquidated Damages Date shall be extended for any Day, and Gatherer shall have no obligation to pay Liquidated Damages for such Day, in which Gatherer is excused from performance under the terms
of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Force Majeure, Plant Maintenance (but not any other maintenance), the failure to designate all Receipt Points as required in Section 5.1, or the delivery by Shipper of volumes in excess of the
capacity of the Magnolia Gathering System. or if the delay is otherwise caused by Shipper. 
 SECTION 12. NOTICES 

All notices, statements, invoices or other communications required or permitted between the Parties shall be in writing and shall he
considered as having been given if delivered by mail, e-mail, courier, hand delivery, or facsimile to the other Party at the designated physical address, e-mail address
or facsimile numbers. Date of service by mail, courier, or hand delivery is the date on which such notice is received by the addressee, and date of service by e-mail or facsimile is the date sent (as evidenced
by the sender’s electronic records if by e-mail or fax machine generated confirmation of transmission if by facsimile); provided, however, if such date received is not a Business Day, then date of receipt
will be on the next date that is a Business Day, and if an e-mail or facsimile is received after 5:00 pm local time, then date of receipt will be the next Business Day. Normal operating instructions can be
delivered by telephone or other agreed means. Notice of events of Force Majeure may initially be made by telephone and shall be confirmed in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after the telephonic notice. Monthly statements, invoices,
payments and other communications shall be deemed delivered when actually received or when receipt is refused. Either Party may change its physical address, e-mail address or facsimile or telephone numbers
upon written notice to the other Party, but such change shall not be effective until thirty (30) days after receipt by the other Party.

SECTION 13. COUNTERPARTS 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original, and all of which shall be
considered one instrument. 
 SECTION 14. REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES 

Shipper and Gatherer each represent and warrant to each other that on and as of the effective date hereof: 

(a) it is duly formed and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of jurisdiction or formation, with power and

Shipper will negotiate in good faith to select and implement the most cost-effective solution available to satisfy the governmental authorities’ requirements, including the Gatherer and Shipper offsetting such costs by using CO2 Credits as
defined below. 

  
 24 

 17.4 CO2 Credits. 

(a) Gatherer shall convey to Shipper at no cost to Gatherer, any present or future right, title, credit, offset, unit, claim, allowance,
acknowledgement, allocated pollution right, benefit, value, or interest in or related, in whole or in part, to the processing, transporting and Treatment of Shipper’s Gas or other rights that may reduce the cost to Shipper of any CO2 Tax
(“CO2 Credits”) generated, earned or otherwise acquired by the Magnolia Gathering System facilities. 
 (b) Shipper
may, at its sole option, in lieu of paying any such CO2 Tax, satisfy or avoid such CO2 Tax by the use of CO2 Credits which Shipper controls. If Gatherer has any CO2 Credits or offsets and uses them for customers or contract obligations of a
substantially similar nature to the operations it is performing for Shipper, it will use such CO2 Credits or offsets on a pro rata basis among all such similar operations in meeting its obligations under this Agreement.

and to operate and reconfigure its facilities in a manner which, in Gatherer’s reasonable business judgment, is consistent with its obligations APPENDIX A — Page under this Agreement. Gatherer will operate the Magnolia Gathering System
consistent with the standards of prudent operators of gas gathering and treating systems. 
 (b) If Gatherer determines that the operation of
all or any portion of the Magnolia Gathering System will cause injury or harm to persons or property or to the integrity of the Magnolia Gathering System, Gatherer may take such actions as are reasonably necessary for the protection of life, limb
and property or the integrity of the Magnolia Gathering. System up to and including shutting-in or causing the shut-in of Shipper’s wells. 

3.2 Plant Maintenance. Gatherer shall perform all inspections, maintenance, testing, alterations, modifications, expansions,
connections, repairs or replacements to its Plants and Plant-related facilities as Gatherer deems necessary to perform its obligations under the Agreement (“Plant Maintenance”). No less than thirty (30) Days prior to the
beginning of each Contract Year, Gatherer shall provide Shipper in writing with an estimated schedule of the Plant Maintenance to be performed during the succeeding Contract Year. Gatherer anticipates annual Plant Maintenance activities up to the
following approximate durations (the “Maximum Maintenance”): (i) up to ten (10) Days per year of partial or full capacity curtailment for preventative maintenance and safety adjustments with respect to the Plants; and,
(ii) up to twenty (20) Days partial or full capacity curtailment with respect to each Plant every four (4) years for Plant overhaul. Plants will be rotated over the four (4) year cycle to minimize volume impact. Gatherer shall be
entitled, without liability, to interrupt its performance hereunder to perform Maximum Maintenance, except in cases of emergency where Plant Maintenance is immediately required in the reasonable judgment and opinion of Gatherer. 

3.3 Capacity Allocations. If the quantity of Shipper Gas and all other Gas available for delivery into a Receipt Point, Plant inlet or
any other point on the Magnolia Gathering System exceeds the capacity of the Magnolia Gathering System at any such point, then, except with respect to Plant capacity constraints resulting from the violation by violation of Plant Inlet Specifications
(which Plant capacity shall be allocated in accordance with the process established in Section 3.3 of this Agreement (and not Section 3.3 of these General Terms and Conditions)), Gatherer shall interrupt or curtail receipts of Shipper Gas
in accordance with the following: 
 (a) First, Gatherer shall curtail all Interruptible Gas prior to curtailing Preferential Capacity Gas.

  
 APPENDIX A-9 

 (b) Second, if additional curtailments arc required beyond Section 3.3(a) above, Gatherer shall
curtail Preferential Capacity Gas. In the event Gatherer curtails some, but not all Preferential. Capacity Gas on a particular Day, Gatherer shall allocate the capacity of the Magnolia Gathering System available to such Preferential Capacity
Shippers on a pro rata basis based upon Shipper’s and the other Preferential Capacity Shipper’s average of the confirmed nominations for the previous 14 Day period of Preferential Capacity Gas prior to the event causing the curtailment.

 SECTION 4. FACILITIES 

4.1 Measurement Facilities. Gatherer shall be responsible for the installation, operation and maintenance of all Measurement
Facilities. Gatherer shall install electronic flow measurement (“EFM”) and automation on all Receipt Points. 
 4.2

to Shipper’s facilities. Gatherer shall provide Shipper real time internet access to Shipper Receipt Point flow rates. 
 4.3 Title
in Facility. Unless as otherwise provided in this Agreement, title to all facilities and equipment placed by Gatherer on Shipper’s (including its designees) premises or on premises of others pursuant to rights or licenses held by Shipper
shall remain in Gatherer, with the unqualified right of removal, and no charge shall be made for use of the premises occupied by same. Shipper shall ensure that Gatherer has reasonable access to all such facilities and to such premises at any
reasonable time for any purpose connected with the provision of service hereunder. 
 SECTION 5. RECEIPT POINTS 

5.1 Receipt Points. Shipper shall deliver Shipper Gas to the Receipt Points. 

5.2 Rate of Flow. Shipper shall deliver Shipper Gas at a reasonably uniform rate of flow. 

5.3 Pressure at Receipt Points. Shipper shall deliver Shipper Gas hereunder to each Receipt Point at a pressure sufficient to enter the
Magnolia Gathering System at the prevailing pressures required under this Agreement, but such Gas shall not be delivered at pressures in excess of the maximum allowable operating pressure of the Magnolia Gathering System. 

SECTION 6. NOMINATIONS AND BALANCING PROCEDURES 

6.1 Notice of Available Capacity. On or before the 20th day of each calendar month, Gatherer shall provide written notice to Shipper of
Gatherer’s good faith estimate of any capacity allocations or curtailments anticipated, based on then currently available information, to be required or necessary during the next succeeding calendar month. In the event that the 20th day of the
calendar month is a weekend or holiday, such notice will be provided on the last Business Day preceding the 20th day of such calendar month. 

  
 APPENDIX A-10 

 6.2 Nomination Procedures. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the nomination
procedures detailed in this Section will be utilized by Shipper with respect to Gathering of Gas hereunder. All nominations must be made by Shipper or Shipper’s designee. Should Interconnecting Pipelines receiving Gas revise their nomination
requirements in a manner that conflicts with the nomination procedures herein, the Parties agree to negotiate changes to the nomination procedures herein as are reasonably required. 

(a) Shipper’s nomination(s) shall be accepted and scheduled for delivery by Gatherer to the extent that (i) Gas is sufficient to
support the nominations, (ii) Shipper has sufficient capacity in the Gathering System, as the case may be, allocated to Shipper pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. and (iii) the party receiving Gas at the Redelivery
Points accepts Shipper’s nominations. Upon being scheduled for delivery, Gatherer’s dispatcher shall thereupon advise Shipper in writing, via fax, e-mail or
web-based nomination process, of the quantity scheduled for Gathering (a “Scheduled Nomination”) and the reason for any failure to schedule any Gas nominated by Shipper. 

(b) The designated operator of each Receipt Point will provide Gatherer with the percentage of Gas attributable to each Shipper at each Receipt
Point on the Gathering System. Gatherer will apply such percentages to determine Shipper’s volume in MMBtus of Gas received by Gatherer at the Receipt Point(s). Such percentages may be updated upon notice from the designated operator to
Gatherer at any time. 
 (c) Each nomination shall be made in conformance with the North American Energy Standards Board timeline as follows,
which may change from time to time (all timelines are stated in Mountain Time): 
  

					
	 	  	Nomination Due:	  	For Flow at:
	 Cycle 1 (Timely)
	  	10:30 AM	  	8:00 AM Next Day
	 Cycle 2 (Evening)
	  	5:00 PM	  	8:00 AM Next Day
	 Cycle 3 (Intra-day 1)
	  	9:00 AM	  	4:00 PM Same Day
	 Cycle 4 (Intra-day 2)
	  	4:00 PM	  	8:00 PM Same Day

 (d) Shipper shall provide to Gatherer’s dispatcher in writing, via fax,
e-mail, or web-based nomination process the actual daily nominations of the quantities to be delivered by Gatherer for Shipper’s account at each .Redelivery Point
in accordance with Gatherer’s requirements. Such nominations shall include the information requested by Gatherer, and Gatherer shall maintain a record of such nominations. By July 1, 2010, Gatherer shall incorporate a web-based electronic bulletin board nomination system which will allow Shipper nominations during each nomination cycle identified in Section 6.2.(c). From the Effective Date until such time that the web-based electronic bulletin board nomination system is fully operational, Gatherer will provide Shipper the opportunity to make nomination changes each cycle via e-mail or
facsimile correspondence. 
 (e) Gatherer may, but is not obligated to, accept (i) any nomination which exceeds Shipper’s allocated
capacity on the Gathering System, as the case may be, or (ii) any revisions to a prior nomination which result in an increase in quantities of Gas Shipper desires to deliver to a Redelivery Point which are not supported by increased deliveries
of Gas to the Gathering System, as the case may be. 

  
 APPENDIX A-11 

 6.3 Shipper Gas Balancing. 

(a) Imbalances. If the number of MMBtus of Gas received by Gatherer at the Receipt Points, after subtracting Fuel, do not equal
Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s), an imbalance exists. If the number of MMBtus of Gas received by Gatherer at the Receipt Point(s), after subtracting Fuel are less than Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s), a negative imbalance exists. If
the number of MMBtus of Gas received by Gatherer at the Receipt Point(s), after subtracting, Fuel, are greater than Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s), a positive imbalance exists. The term balance or balancing refers to equalizing the number of
MMBtus of Gas received by Gatherer at the Receipt Point(s) with the number of MMBtus constituting Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s) plus Fuel. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to minimize these imbalances and agree to make the daily and
monthly adjustments as outlined herein. At Gatherer’s sole discretion, Gatherer may decline such nomination if necessary to balance Shipper. 

(b) Daily Balancing. Each Day Shipper shall cause the number of MMBtus of Gas being delivered at the Receipt Point(s) to equal as
closely as practicable Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s) plus Fuel. Whenever the number of MMBtus of Gas being delivered at the Receipt Point(s) is insufficient to support Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s) plus Fuel, Shipper shall promptly
decrease its daily Scheduled Nomination. Whenever the number of MMBtus of Gas being delivered at the Receipt Point(s) exceeds Shipper’s Scheduled Nomination(s) plus Fuel, Shipper shall promptly increase Scheduled Nominations. If Shipper does
not adjust such nomination, Gatherer may, in its sole discretion, decline such nomination if necessary to balance Shipper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shipper may request the right to create a daily imbalance when necessary to counteract a prior
daily imbalance. Whether such request will be granted is within the sole discretion of Gatherer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Shipper will not be required to reduce the Scheduled Nomination below the number of MMBtu’s of Gas
received by Gatherer less Fuel or increase the Scheduled Nomination above the number of MMBtu received by Gatherer less Fuel. 
 (c)
Monthly Balancing. At the end of each month, the cumulative imbalance shall be designated as “Cash Out Quantities” and reduced to zero volume by cash out. The cash out price will be the 100% cash out index price calculated pursuant
to the respective Interconnecting Pipeline’s Pipeline Tariff on which the imbalance occurred, exclusive of any imbalance penalties. For avoidance of doubt, any and all penalties and other charges including charges resulting from Gatherer being
cashed out at a price above or below the 100% cash out index price pursuant to the Pipeline Tariff from the Interconnecting Pipelines shall be incurred by Gatherer, and Shipper shall be held harmless from paying any such penalties or charges. 

(d) Third Party Cooperation. Both Parties recognize that Gatherer’s ability to balance Shipper is dependent upon the cooperation of
the Parties and third parties. 
 (e) Interconnecting Pipelines. Whenever an Interconnecting Pipeline requires Gatherer to balance,
Gatherer may require Shipper to make adjustments to nominations as imposed by the Interconnecting Pipeline. 

  
 APPENDIX A-12 

 (f) Duty to Maintain Balance. Gatherer shall use reasonable efforts to require all
shippers using the Gathering System to maintain balance thereon in accordance with this Section 1.3 of these General Terms and Conditions. 

6.4 Curtailment Losses. Gatherer shall not be liable for Losses caused by any curtailment imposed by Gatherer unless such curtailment is
due to negligence of Gatherer. 
 SECTION 7. GAS QUALITY 

7.1 Receipt Point Gas Specifications. Shipper Gas delivered by Shipper to the Receipt Points shall meet the following specifications
(collectively, the “Gas Specifications”): 
 (a) commercially free from dust, gum,
gum-forming constituents and solid or liquid matter which might interfere with its merchantability or cause injury to or interfere with proper operation of the Magnolia Gathering System or the Interconnecting
Pipelines; 
 (b) free of hydrocarbons and water in their liquid state; 

(c) commercially free from crude oil, mineral seal, distillate and other impurities that would adversely affect Gatherer’s deliveries to

(k) Free Water – Shall contain no free water; 

(l) Nitrogen – not to exceed three percent (3%) by volume; 

(m) Oxygen – 0 ppm by volume; and, 

(n) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, Shipper Gas shall meet the most restrictive quality specifications required from time to time
by the facilities receiving Shipper Gas at the Redelivery Points and/or the Interconnecting Pipelines. 

  
 APPENDIX A-13 

 The blend of Shipper Gas received from all Receipt Points on the Magnolia Gathering System shall meet the
following additional quality specifications: 
 (a) Hydrogen Sulphide—not to exceed twenty (20) PPM; and. 

(b) Carbon Dioxide—not to exceed five (5%). 

7.2 Non-conforming Gas. If at any time Gatherer becomes aware that Shipper Gas at the Receipt
Points fails to conform to the Gas Specifications. then (i) Gatherer shall give Shipper written notice or the deficiency and Shipper shall immediately remedy the deficiency and (ii) Gatherer may, in addition to any other rights and
remedies that Gatherer has hereunder or at law or in equity, take any combination of the following actions: 
 (a) take receipt of the non-conforming Shipper Gas; or 
 (b) immediately cease receiving the
non-conforming Shipper Gas from Shipper by shutting in the sources of such nonconforming Shipper Gas or by other appropriate means and shall notify Shipper that Gatherer has ceased, or will cease, receiving
the non-conforming Shipper Gas, Gatherer shall operate the system to curtail Shipper Gas in such a fashion as to maximize total production volumes of Shipper Gas on the Magnolia Gathering System. 

Acceptance by Gatherer of Shipper Gas that does not conform to the Gas Specifications shall not constitute a waiver of the Gas Specifications by Gatherer in
regard to Shipper Gas delivered under this Agreement in the future, nor shall acceptance without an express written waiver constitute a waiver of any claim for damage resulting from delivery of Shipper Gas not meeting the Gas Specifications. 

If Gatherer is unable to take non-conforming Gas for a period of thirty (30) cumulative days in a year, and
Gatherer does not intend to modify or expand the Gathering Facilities, or provide Additional Services under Section 7 of this Agreement, in order to enable Gatherer to receive such non-conforming Gas,
then, without limiting any other applicable provisions of the Agreement, such non-conforming Gas shall be permanently released from the Dedication at the election of Shipper. 

SECTION 8. MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES 

8.1 Measurement. The quantity and “Gross Heating Value” of Gas received and delivered hereunder shall be
determined based on the gross number of Btus that would be contained in the volume of such Gas with actual water vapor and at the Contract Pressure and Contract Temperature determined by methods in general use by Gatherer, or its designee, from time-to-time and in accordance with good engineering practices; provided, however, if the Gas as delivered contains seven (7) pounds of water or more per one million
cubic feet, such Gas shall be assumed to be saturated with water vapor. 
 8.2 Installation and Operation of Measuring Facilities.
Gatherer or its designee shall have the right to install, own, operate, modify and maintain measuring facilities (which shall include facilities used for sampling) used for purposes of measuring the Gas received and delivered by Gatherer at any
Receipt Point or Redelivery Point. Where used, orifice meters shall 

  
 APPENDIX A-14 

 
employ dual chamber orifice meter runs built to meet API 14.3 and shall be installed and operated in accordance with the referenced AGA Measurement Committee Report No. 3 ANSI/API 2530, as
amended from time-to-time or such other standards in general use by Gatherer. If turbine meters are used, they shall be installed and operated in accordance with the AGA
Transmission Measurement Committee Report No. 7, as amended from time-to-time or such other standards in general use by Gatherer. If other types of measurement
devices or instruments are used, the installation and operation of such facilities shall be in accordance with terms and procedures acceptable to Gatherer. When Gatherer determines that pulsation problems or other measurement inaccuracies result
from the activities of Shipper or other third parties, in addition to any remedies otherwise available to it, Gatherer shall have the right to require Shipper to install pulsation bottles or take such other corrective action as Gatherer deems
necessary or require Shipper to cause the third parties to take such action, or Gatherer may make appropriate adjustments. 
 8.3 Meter
Testing. The measuring equipment (which shall for avoidance of doubt include any equipment used for sampling) shall be calibrated by the Gatherer at reasonable intervals, and, if requested, in the presence of representatives of the Shipper. All
meters averaging over 5 MMcf per Day will be tested monthly, those averaging less than 5 MMcf per Day but more that 1 MMcf per Day will be test quarterly, meters averaging less than 1 MMcf per Day will be tested semi annually Readings, calibrations,
tests, repairs and adjustments of the Gatherer’s metering and testing equipment, and changing of charts, shall be done only by the Gatherer or its representative and in accordance with good engineering practice as often as found necessary in
operation. Gatherer shall not be required to calibrate any equipment more frequently than once per year if the average monthly volume of the equipment for any three (3) month period is less than 0.1 MMcf per Day. Subject to the limitations of
8.2 of these General Terms and Conditions, upon Shipper’s request, the Gatherer shall test and calibrate at a mutually agreeable time, if necessary, any particular meter or other equipment, the cost of such special test, or any other test or
adjustment requested by the Shipper and agreed to by the Gatherer, to be borne by the Shipper, unless the percentage of inaccuracy exceeds one percent (1%). If upon any test the total inaccuracy from meter or auxiliary equipment error exceeds one
percent (1%), previous readings shall be corrected, but not beyond one-half the period of time since the last test or three (3) Months, whichever is less. If the total inaccuracy is not more than one
percent (1%), previous readings shall be considered correct, but immediately following the test the equipment shall be adjusted, if necessary, to read accurately. Any measurement error resulting from the inaccuracy of a meter or auxiliary equipment
shall be corrected for Shipper’s account through prospective allocations only. If any meter or auxiliary equipment is out of service or repair or registering inaccurately for a period of time so that the amount of Gas cannot be computed from
the reading thereof, the Gas delivered during such period shall be estimated on the basis of the first of the following methods feasible in Gatherer’s reasonable judgment: (a) correct the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable
by calibration, test or mathematical calculation; or (b) estimate the volume on the basis of deliveries during preceding or subsequent periods under similar conditions when the equipment was registering accurately. 

  
 APPENDIX A-15 

 8.4 Receipt Point and Delivery Point Sampling. Gatherer shall sample the flowing Gas
stream at the Receipt Point utilizing one of the following methods: 
 (a) Accumulated Sample or an
On-line Chromatograph – Receipt Points with an average production greater than 50,000 Mcf per Day during the previous six (6) mouths or a current monthly average volume greater than 50,000 Mcf per
Day shall utilize either an accumulated sample or on-line chromatograph. If an accumulated sample is utilized the application of Gas quality in the volume calculation will be the time period that the Gas
sample was accumulated. Such Accumulated Sample shall be analyzed once a month. Accumulated samples or on-line chromatograph for Receipt Point volumes less than the above stated volume can be utilized if the
Parties mutually agree. 
 (b) Spot Sample – Receipt Points with an average production during. the previous six (6) months or a
current monthly average volume less than or equal to 50,000 Mcf per day shall utilize a Spot Sample. If this method is utilized the application of Gas quality in the volume calculation will be the time period beginning on the date the sample was
obtained until the next sample is obtained. 
 (i) A Spot Sample shall be analyzed once a month if Receipt Point average
production during the previous six (6) Months or a current monthly average volume is greater than or equal to 5,000 Mcf per day. 

(ii) A Spot Sample shall be analyzed once a quarter if Receipt Point average production during the previous six (6) Months
or a current monthly average volume is less than 5,000 Mcf per day. 
 (iii) Delivery Point samples timing and methodology
shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Downstream Transporter, but shall utilize either an Accumulated Sample or On-line Chromatography and a monthly sampling process. 

(iv) Plant Inlet samples shall be based on daily readings of Gatherer’s operational data acquisition system. 

8.5 Access to Tests and Test Records. Each party shalt have the right to be present at the time of any installing, testing, calibrating
or adjusting done in connection with the other’s equipment used in the measurement and sampling of deliveries made available hereunder. Upon written request, the measuring party shall make its hourly measurement information if electronic flow
measurement or sampling is used, to the other party for examination, the same to be returned within twenty (20) Days; provided, however, that the measuring party shalt not be required to provide any such charts or information more often than
once in any three (3) Month period. 
 8.6 Preservation of Records. Each party shall preserve for a period of at least twenty
four (24) Months copies of all test data, charts and other similar records. 

  
 APPENDIX A-16 

 SECTION 9. PAYMENTS 

9.1 Invoices. Gatherer shall provide Shipper with a detailed statement and supporting documentation for all amounts payable by either
Party under the terms of this Agreement not later than the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the Month following the Month for which the amounts are due, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Shipper shall remit payment thereon to Gatherer as
shown on such statement no later than thirty (30) days after such statement is sent to Shipper. In addition, any amounts owed to Shipper under this Agreement shall be paid no later than thirty (30) days after an invoice is sent to
Gatherer. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered by Gatherer to Shipper in writing from time to time. Gatherer’s current wire transfer instructions are as follows: 

JPMorgan Chase Bank, Houston, Texas 

ABA No. 113000609

 Account
No. 0010-341-4059 
 9.2 No Netting. Except in
the event of a payment default by the other Party, neither Party may net amounts owed to it under this Agreement against amounts owed under any other agreements among the Parties. 

9.3 Audit Rights. Either Party, on thirty (30) days prior written notice, shall have the right at its expense, at reasonable times
during normal business hours, to audit the books and records of the other Party to the extent necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, allocation, measurement, computation, charge, or payment made under or pursuant to this Agreement. The
scope of any audit shall be limited to transactions affecting Shipper, including aggregated Third Party Gas volumes and Shipper Partner volumes hereunder and shall be limited to the twenty-four (24) calendar month period immediately prior to
the calendar month in which the notice requesting an audit was given. However, no audit may include any time period for which a prior audit hereunder was conducted, and no audit may occur more frequently than once each twelve (12) calendar
months. All statements, allocations, measurements, computations, charges, or payments made in any period prior to the twenty-four (24) calendar month period immediately prior to the calendar month in which the audit is requested or made in any
twenty-four (24) calendar month period for which the audit is requested but for which a written claim for adjustments is not made within ninety (90) days after the audit is requested shall he conclusively deemed true and correct and shall
be final for all purposes. To the extent that the foregoing varies from any applicable statute of limitations, the Parties expressly waive all such other applicable statutes of limitations. 

9.4 Right to Suspend on Failure to Pay. 

(a) Subject to Section 9.5 below of the General Terms and Conditions, if any undisputed amount due hereunder remains unpaid for ninety
(90) days after the due date, Gatherer shall have the right to suspend or discontinue services hereunder until any such past due amount is paid. Following any such ninety (90) day period, if Shipper remains in default, Gatherer may, in
addition to requiring payment of all sums then due, require Shipper to, at Shipper’s option: (i) prepay an amount equal to Gatherer’s reasonable estimate of the fees 

  
 APPENDIX A-17 

 
Shipper would incur for two (2) Months of service hereunder; (ii) furnish an irrevocable letter of credit in a form acceptable to Gatherer in the amount of the required prepayment; or
(iii) provide any other mutually acceptable form of security ((i), (ii) or (iii) being, as applicable, the “Default Security”). If Shipper makes timely payment of all undisputed amounts due under this Agreement for
a period of one (1) year following the date that any Default Security is tendered, the Default Security shall be returned to Shipper. At such time as Shipper pays all undisputed amounts and, if applicable, provides Default Security, Gatherer
shall immediately resume providing services hereunder. 
 (b) Upon request of either Party, the other Party, or in the case of Gatherer,
Gatherer shall deliver for itself and Guarantor, within thirty (30) days of such request: (i) audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year; (ii) if the Party providing the information does not have audited
financial statements, then certified consolidated unaudited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year; or (iii) a copy of the relevant quarterly report containing unaudited consolidated financial statements for the latest fiscal
quarter (“Financial information”). In all cases the statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, provided, however, that should any such statements not be available on a timely
basis due to a delay in preparation or certification, such delay shall not be an event of default so long as the Party diligently pursues the preparation, certification and delivery of the statements. 

(c) If Gatherer reviews the Financial Information and has reasonable grounds for insecurity concerning Shipper’s ability to pay the
amounts due for services under this Agreement in a timely manner, Gatherer will send written notice to Shipper of Gatherer’s desire to meet with Shipper. Gatherer and Shipper will negotiate in good faith to determine if Shipper should be
required to provide Default Security, notwithstanding that Shipper may not be, at such time, in default as set forth in Section 9.4(a), above. If Gatherer thereafter determines that it has a reasonable basis to question Shipper’s ability to pay
for amounts due for services under this Agreement, Shipper will post Default Security. If Shipper makes timely payment of all undisputed amounts due under this Agreement for a period of one (1) year following the date that any Default Security
is tendered, the Default Security shall be returned to Shipper. 
 9.5 Payment Disputes. In the event of any dispute with respect to
any payment hereunder, Shipper shall make timely payment of all undisputed amounts. 
 9.6 Interest on Late Payments. In the event
that Shipper or Gatherer shall fail to make timely payment of any sums, except those contested in good faith or those in a good faith dispute, when due under this Agreement, interest will accrue at an annual rate equal to the prime rate as published
in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal plus one percent (1%) from the dare payment is due until the date payment is made. 

SECTION 10. FORCE MAJEURE 

10.1 MI Definition of Force Majeure. The term “Force Majeure” as used in this Agreement shall mean any cause or
causes not reasonably within the control of the Party claiming suspension and which, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, such Party is unable to prevent or overcome. To the extent not reasonably within the control of the Party claiming 

  
 APPENDIX A-18 

 
suspension and which, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, such Party is unable to prevent or overcome, examples of Force Majeure may include, but are not be limited to: Acts of God; acts,
omissions to act and/or delays in action of federal, state or local government or any agency thereof; strikes, lockouts, work stoppages or other industrial disturbances; acts of the public enemy; acts of terrorism; wars; blockades; insurrections;
sabotage; riots; epidemics; landslides; lightning; earthquakes; fires; storms; floods; washouts; arrests or restraint of governments, rulers or peoples; civil or criminal disturbances; interruptions by governmental or court orders; present and
future valid orders of any regulatory body having jurisdiction; explosions; mechanical failures; breakage or accident to equipment. machinery or lines of pipe. compressors or plants (not due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Party) and
subsequent repairs; freezing or blockage of lines of pipe, partial or entire failure of production facilities or equipment, treating plants, processing plants, or transportation facilities or separation facilities; partial or entire failure or
refusal of operators of downstream pipelines or facilities to receive Shipper Gas or increases in pressure of downstream pipelines or facilities; governmental regulations; curtailment of, or other inability to obtain, equipment, labor, materials or
supplies and/or services and/or electric power used in making and/or receiving deliveries hereunder; the inability of either Party to acquire, or the delays on the part of a Party in acquiring, at reasonable cost and after the exercise of reasonable
diligence, approvals, permits, consents, easements and/or rights-of-way; and compliance with applicable environmental statutes. 

10.2 Effect of Force Majeure. In the event either Party is rendered, wholly or in part, by Force Majeure, unable to carry out its
obligations under this Agreement, other than to make payments of any amount due hereunder, it is agreed upon such Party giving notice and full particulars of such Force Majeure, in writing, including the estimated duration of the Force Majeure
event, to the other Party as soon as possible after the occurrence of the causes relied on, then the obligation of the Party giving such notice, so far as they are affected by such Force Majeure, shall be suspended during the continuance of any
inability so caused, but for no longer period, and such cause shall, so far as reasonably possible, be remedied with all reasonable dispatch; provided, however, that this provision shall not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding
to the demands of the opposing parties when such course is inadvisable at the discretion of the Party having the difficulty. If Shipper experiences an event of Force Majeure, Shipper shall change its nomination as quickly as possible in order to
minimize imbalances on the Magnolia Gathering System, as the case may be, and the impact of Shipper’s Force Majeure condition on downstream allocations. 

SECTION 11. LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION 

11.1 Shipper Liability and Indemnification. 

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1(b) and 11.2, unless Gatherer accepts Shipper’s Gas pursuant to Section 3.3 of the

 EXHIBIT F 

Revised Gathering Fee Calculations 
 Upon
an Expansion Request by a Shipper pursuant to Section 6, the Gathering Fee will be re-calculated pursuant to the Revised Gathering Fee Calculation in this Exhibit F and shall be effective upon the in-service date for the relevant. Expansion Capacity. For any Expansion, the applicable Base Fee identified in the tables below will be the Base Fee that corresponds to the amount of applicable EOR or WOR System
Capacity (as the case may be) resulting from the Expansion (the “Applicable Base Fee”). If Expansion Capacity includes EOR and WOR Expansions, the Applicable Base Fee shall be the lower of the respective Base Fees identified in the EOR and
WOR tables below, irrespective of the resulting EOR or WOR System Capacities; unless simultaneous expansions are made, then the applicable Base Fee in the Simultaneous Expansion Table below applies. Unless otherwise agreed, Expansions shall be made
in multiples of 100 MMcf/d up to 500 MMcf/d for each system, EOR and WOR, at any given time within the first five (5) years after the Effective Date. 

Notwithstanding the calculations for Revised Gathering Fees in this Exhibit F, the Revised Gathering Fees shall continue to be subject to escalation
and de-escalation factors as per Section 4, 7, and 9.2 of the Agreement.

 Whereas the Revised Gathering Fee will be calculated as follows: 

(a) The Revised Gathering Fee = 

(i) The sum of: 
 Initial
Capacity*Applicable Base Fee + 
 Incremental Capacity for 1st election (if any) *
Applicable Base Fee * Inflator # 1 + 
 Incremental Capacity for 2nd election (if any) *
Applicable Base Fee * Inflator # 2 + 
 Incremental Capacity for 3rd election (if any) *
Applicable Base Fee * Inflator # 3 + 
 Incremental Capacity for 4th election (if any) *
Applicable Base Fee * Inflator # 4 + 
 Incremental Capacity for 5th election (if any) *
Applicable Base Fee * Inflator # 5 
 (ii) Divided by the total System Capacity of either the FOR or WOR system, whichever system generated
the Applicable Base Fee, except in the case of a simultaneous expansion of the WOR and EOR Systems. Where there is a simultaneous Expansion of the EOR and WOR Systems, the total System Capacity shall include the total capacity of each system
including expansion volumes for both WOR and FOR Systems.. For avoidance of doubt, the total System Capacity shall include the current Expansion and any previous Expansions from the applicable System. 

Where the Inflator attributable to each Expansion shall be determined by the formula below: 

Inflator = 1 + (Future Cost Index – Initial Cost Index) * 75% 

Initial Cost Index 
 Where “Cost
Index” is the Producer Price Index Industry Data (Series Id: PCU2111112111113) for the Crude Petroleum & Natural Gas Extraction Industry, under the Natural gas (from the well head) product category, Base Date 198406 published by
the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics. 
 Where the “Initial Cost Index” is Cost Index averaged for the
12-month period prior to August 2009. 
 Where the “Future Cost Index” is the average of the Cost
Index for the 12-month period immediately prior to the month the election of incremental capacity was made. Each Expansion will have a unique Future Cost Index that will not change once established. 

In the event of more than one Expansion, the new Applicable Base Fee will apply to the calculation of the current Expansion and each preceding Expansion. The
new Inflator however shall only be applied to the calculations applicable to the Year the current Expansion is taking place. The previous Inflators used during earlier Expansion(s) shall be multiplied by the new Applicable Base Fee for the portions
of the calculation applicable to the year such inflator was established. 

  
 F-2 

 Example, illustrating Revised Gathering Calculation for Expansions made on the EOR system: 

Year 1 – 200 MMcf/d EOR, assumed Future Cost Index is 10% higher than the Initial Cost Index for purposes of example (e.g. ((Future Cost Index –
Initial Cost Index)/(Initial Cost Index)) =10% 
 Year 2 – 100 MMcf/d EOR, assumed Future Cost Index is 10% higher than the Initial Cost Index for
purposes of example =10% 
 Year 3 – 200 MMcf/d EOR, assumed Future Cost Index is 15% higher than the Initial Cost Index for purposes of example =15%

 The Revised Gathering Fee for Year 1, where the EOR System is expanded by 200 MMcf/d increasing the EOR System Capacity to 700 MMcf/d is calculated as
follows: 
 Applicable Base Fee = [***] 
 Revised
Gathering Fee = [***] 
 Revised Gathering Fee = [***]/MMBtu; the Revised Gathering Fee applies to Gas flowing on both the EOR and WOR Systems 

The Revised Gathering Fee for Year 2, where the EOR System is expanded by an incremental 100 MMcf/d increasing the EOR System Capacity to 800 MMcf/d is
calculated as follows: 
 Applicable Base Fee = [***] 

Revised Gathering Fee after 1st Expansion of [***] 
 Revised
Gathering Fee for 2nd Expansion – [***] 
 Revised Gathering Fee = [***] MMBtu; the Revised Gathering Fee applies to Gas flowing on both the EOR and
WOR Systems 
 The Revised Gathering Fee for Year 3 where, the EOR System is expanded by an incremental 200 MMcf/d increasing the FOR System Capacity
to 1,000 MMcf/d is calculated as follows: 
 Applicable Base Fee = [***] 

Revised Gathering Fee for 1st Expansion of [***] 
 Revised
Gathering Fee for 2nd Expansion of incremental [***] 

  
 F-3 

 Revised Gathering Fee for 3rd Expansion = [***] Revised Gathering Fee = [***]/MMBtu; the Revised Gathering Fee
applies to Gas flowing on both the EOR and WOR Systems. 
 Example, illustrating Revised Gathering Fee Calculation for Simultaneous Expansions:

 If a simultaneous expansion of 400 MMcf/d occurs for both WOR and EOR, assumed Future Cost Index is 10% higher than the Initial Cost Index
for purposes of example (e.g. ((Future Cost Index Initial Cost Index)/(Initial Cost Index)) –10% 
 The Revised Gathering Fee is calculated as
follows: 
 Applicable Base Fee = [***] 
 Revised
Gathering Fee for WOR and EOR after Expansion of 400 MMcf/d (each side) = [***] 
 Revised Gathering Fee = [***]/MMBtu; the Revised Gathering Fee
applies to Gas flowing on both the EOR and WOR Systems

GUARANTY 
 THIS GUARANTY
is made this 1st day of September, 2009 (the “Effective Date”) by CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (“Guarantor”), to and for the benefit of EnCana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc., and its successors and assigns (“EnCana”) under
that certain Gas Gathering and Treating Agreement (the “GGA”) dated September 1, 2009 between EnCana, as Shipper, and CenterPoint Energy Field Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Guarantor, as Gatherer (“CEFS”) relating to the
provision of gathering and treating services with respect to natural gas produced by EnCana in Red River and DeSoto Parishes, Louisiana. 

WITNESSETH: 
 For good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are acknowledged by Guarantor, including, without limitation, the benefits that Guarantor will derive from CEFS’s entry into the GGA, Guarantor agrees as follows: 

 

	1.	Subject to and not exceeding the Maximum Guaranty (defined below), Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to EnCana (a) to fund CEFS’ obligations under the GGA and (b) the punctual
payment in full of any and all financial obligations, including, without limitation, those relating to indemnity, due and payable to EnCana under the GGA (collectively, the “Obligations”). The Obligations expressly exclude and Guarantor
shall not be liable for (1) indirect, special or consequential damages or (2) punitive or exemplary damages. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty is a guarantee of the Obligations and that Guarantor is primarily liable and responsible for
the Obligations. It is not necessary for EnCana, in order to enforce the Obligations by Guarantor under this Guaranty, first or contemporaneously to institute suit or exhaust remedies against CEFS or others liable for any of the Obligations. In
addition to Guarantor’s liability for the Obligations herein. Guarantor agrees to pay any losses, damages, or expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by EnCana in enforcing any rights under the GGA or this Guaranty. Unless
otherwise specifically defined in this Guaranty. defined terms herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the GGA. 

  

	2.	Guarantor’s maximum obligation under this Guaranty with respect to the Obligations (the “Maximum Guaranty”) shall be the sum of the Initial Guaranty Amount. the Expansion Capacity increment
Guaranty Amounts, and Additional Services Guaranty Amounts, as such amounts may change from time to time, and as such amounts are calculated below: 

  

	 	a.	Initial Guaranty Amount. As of the Effective Date, Guarantor guarantees to EnCana the Obligations up to Two Hundred Million U.S. Dollars (U.S. $200,000,000.00) of the Obligations (“Initial Guaranty
Amount”). Effective on the Gathering System Completion Date, the Initial Guaranty Amount shall become Fifty Million U.S. Dollars (U.S. $50,000,000.00) until this Guaranty terminates. 

  
 H-1 

	 	b.	Expansion Capacity Increment Guaranty Amounts. 

  

	 	i.	Pursuant to Section 6 of the GGA, as such Section may be modified from time to time, EnCana may notify CEFS through “Expansion Capacity Requests” to expand the capacity of CEFS’ Magnolia Gathering
System. 

  

	 	ii.	For each 100 MMcf per day increment in any Expansion Capacity Request made by EnCana pursuant to Section 6.1 of the GGA, as such Section may be modified from time to time, Guarantor’s Maximum Guaranty pursuant
to this Guaranty shall increase by Thirty-Five Million U.S. Dollars (U.S. $35,000,000.00) (each an “Expansion Capacity Increment Guaranty Amount” and collectively the “Expansion Capacity Increment Guaranty Amounts”).

  

	 	iii.	Guarantor’s guarantee to EnCana with respect to the Obligations up to each Expansion Capacity increment Guaranty Amount shall commence on the effective date of the applicable Expansion Capacity Request and
terminate upon completion of the construction and installation of the corresponding Expansion Capacity facilities. An example of a calculation of the Maximum Guaranty is provided in Schedule 1 to this Guaranty. 

 

	 	iv.	For each Expansion Capacity Increment Guaranty Amount, such Amount shall be increased above $35 million on the date EnCana notifies CEFS of the Expansion Capacity Request, using the formula for the Inflator
provided for in Exhibit F of the GGA to calculate the Revised Gathering Fee, such Inflator to be calculated as of the date of the request. 

  

	 	c.	Additional Services Guaranty Amount. 

  

	 	i.	Pursuant to Section 7 of the GGA, as such Section may be modified from time to time. EnCana may request CEFS to provide Additional Services or Additional interconnections on CEFS’ Magnolia Gathering System,
following which request CEFS shall provide to EnCana a proposal for such Additional Services or Additional Interconnections and the Additional Gathering Fee in connection therewith (an “Additional Services Proposal”). 

 

	 	ii.	For each accepted Additional Services Proposal, Guarantor’s Maximum Guaranty pursuant to this Guaranty shall increase by the amount of the capital expenditure used to perform the calculation of the Additional
Gathering Fee pursuant to the formula in Exhibit G of the GGA (each an “Additional Services Guaranty Amount” and collectively the “Additional Services Guaranty Amounts”). 

 

	 	iii.	Guarantor’s guarantee to EnCana of the Obligations up to each Additional Services Guaranty Amount shall commence on the effective date of EnCana’s notice under Section 7.2(x) of the GGA to commence
construction of the Additional Services requested and terminate upon completion of the construction and installation of the corresponding Additional Services facilities. 

  
 H-2 

	 	d.	Other Cost Increases. 

 In the event that EnCana reasonably believes that CEFS’
costs for the Initial Build or any Expansion Capacity or Additional Services may be materially in excess of the respective Maximum Guaranty provided pursuant to sections 2.a, 2.b, or 2.c, then EnCana may request, and Guarantor hereby agrees, to
negotiate in good faith an increase in the respective Maximum Guaranty to provide a revised Maximum Guaranty which revised Maximum Guaranty would approximate the anticipated cost of the respective construction project (i.e., the Initial Build, the
Expansion Capacity, the Additional Services, respectively); provided, however, unless mutually agreed between Guarantor and EnCana, Guarantor shall not be obligated to increase the Maximum Guaranty. 

 

	 	e.	Decreases in Maximum Guaranty Due to Capital Expenditures Made by CEFS. 

 If Guarantor
reasonably believes that the Maximum Guaranty may be materially in excess of CEFS’s remaining capital expenditures for completion of the Initial Build, Expansion Capacity and Additional Services provided for in section 2.a, 2.b, or 2.c, then
Guarantor may request, and EnCana hereby agrees, to negotiate in good faith a decrease in the Maximum Guaranty to provide a revised Maximum Guaranty which revised Maximum Guaranty would approximate the remaining anticipated capital expenditures for
the respective construction projects (i.e., the Initial Build, the Expansion Capacity, the Additional Services, respectively); provided, however, unless mutually agreed between Guarantor and EnCana, EnCana shall not be obligated to decrease the
Maximum Guaranty. 
  

	3.	EnCana may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice to or consent by Guarantor, and without in any way releasing, altering, impairing, or discharging the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor under
this Guaranty, from time to time (a) waive compliance with or any default under the provisions of the GGA; (b) enter into such modifications, extensions, amendments, supplements, or other agreements respecting the GGA as CEFS and EnCana

 SCHEDULE 1 

TO GUARANTY DATED SEPTEMBER 1, 2009 BY CENTERPOINT ENERGY, INC. TO 

AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF ENCANA OIL & GAS (USA) INC. 

(Example of Calculation of Maximum Guaranty) 

If EnCana requests expansion of the capacity of the Magnolia Gathering System of 200 MMcf per day on the West side of the Red River, the corresponding
Expansion Capacity Increment Guaranty Amount will be $70 million. If EnCana then provides an Expansion Capacity request for an additional 100 MMcf per day on the East side of the Red River, the Expansion Capacity Increment Guaranty Amount will
increase to a total of $105 million. If CEFS thereafter completes the facilities that accommodate only one of the 100 MMcf per day increments, the Expansion Capacity Increment Guaranty Amounts shall decrease from $105 million to
$70 million as of the date the 100 MMcf per day Expansion is completed.
