constitutes a payment event with respect to any Award which provides for the deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A or such compensation otherwise would be subject to Section 409A if the foregoing definition of

and the rules of any securities exchange on which the Units are listed, quoted or traded. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to such restrictions and limitations as the Board or Committee, as applicable, specifies at the time of such
delegation, and the Board or Committee, as applicable, may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 3(b) shall serve in such capacity at the

 SECTION 4.
Units. 
 (a) Limits on Units Deliverable. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the number of
Units that may be delivered with respect to Awards under the Plan is [                    ]. If any Award or portion thereof is forfeited, cancelled,
exercised, paid, or otherwise terminates or expires without the actual delivery of Units pursuant to such Award (for the avoidance of doubt, except after the 10th anniversary of the Effective Date, the grant of Restricted Units is not a delivery of
Units for this purpose unless and until such Restricted Units vest and any restrictions placed upon them under the Plan lapse), the Units subject to such Award that are not actually delivered pursuant to such Award shall again be available for
Awards under the Plan. Units that are tendered by a Participant to the Company in connection with the exercise of an Award or withheld from issuance in connection with a Participant’s payment of tax withholding liability shall be available for
Awards under the Plan. To the extent permitted by applicable law and securities exchange rules, Substitute Awards and Units issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity (including an existing Affiliate of the
Partnership) that is (or whose securities are) acquired in any form by the Partnership or any Affiliate thereof shall not be counted against the Units available for issuance pursuant to the Plan. There shall not be any limitation on the number of
Awards that may be paid in cash. 
 (b) Sources of Units Deliverable Under Awards. Any Units delivered pursuant to an Award shall
consist, in whole or in part, of Units acquired in the open market, from the Partnership, the Company, any Affiliate of either of the foregoing or any other Person, or Units otherwise issuable by the Partnership, or any combination of the foregoing,
as determined by the Committee in its discretion. 
 (c) Anti-dilution Adjustments. 

(i) Equity Restructuring. With respect to any “equity restructuring” event (within the meaning of ASC Topic
718) that could result in an additional compensation expense to the Company or the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 718 if adjustments to Awards with respect to such event were discretionary, the Committee

  
 6 

 
shall equitably adjust the number and type of Units covered by each outstanding Award and the terms and conditions, including the exercise price and performance criteria (if any), of such Award
to equitably reflect such event and shall adjust the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan after such event. With respect to any other similar event that would not
result in an ASC Topic 718 accounting charge if the adjustment to Awards with respect to such event were subject to discretionary action, the Committee shall have complete discretion to adjust Awards and the number and type of Units (or other
securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan in such manner as it deems appropriate with respect to such other event. 

(ii) Other Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any non-cash distribution, Unit split, combination or exchange of
Units, merger, consolidation or distribution (other than normal cash distributions) of Partnership assets to unitholders, or any other change affecting the Units of the Partnership, other than an “equity restructuring,” the Committee may
make equitable adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to (A) the aggregate number and kind of Units that may be issued under the Plan; (B) the number and kind of Units (or other securities or property) subject to
outstanding Awards; (C) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); and (D) the grant or exercise price per Unit for any
outstanding Awards under the Plan. 
 SECTION 5. Eligibility. 

Any Employee, Consultant or Director shall be eligible to be designated a Participant and receive an Award under the Plan. 

SECTION 6. Awards. 
 (a)
Options and UARs. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Options and/or UARs shall be granted, the number of Units to be covered by each Option or UAR, the exercise price therefor,
the Restricted Period and other conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option or UAR, including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. Options that are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(A) and UARs that are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(B) or, in each
case, any successor regulation, may be granted only to Employees, Consultants or Directors performing services on the date of grant for the Partnership or a corporation or other type of entity in a chain of corporations or other entities in which
each corporation or other entity has a “controlling interest” in another corporation or entity in the chain, starting with the Partnership and ending with the corporation or other entity for which the Employee, Consultant or Director
performs services. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “controlling interest” means (i) in the case of a corporation, ownership of stock possessing at least 50% of total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such
corporation entitled to vote or at least 50% of the total value of shares of all classes of stock of such corporation; (ii) in the case of a partnership, ownership of at least 50% 

  
 7 

 
of the profits interest or capital interest of such partnership; (iii) in the case of a sole proprietorship, ownership of the sole proprietorship; or (iv) in the case of a trust or
estate, ownership of an actuarial interest (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(ii)) of at least 50% of such trust or estate. Options and UARs that are otherwise exempt from or compliant with Section 409A may be
granted to any eligible Employee, Consultant or Director. 
 (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Unit
purchasable under an Option or subject to a UAR shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option or UAR is granted but, except with respect to a Substitute Award, may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of
grant of the Option or UAR. 
 (ii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the exercise
terms and any applicable Restricted Period with respect to an Option or UAR, which may include, without limitation, provisions for accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals and/or other events, and the method or methods
by which payment of the exercise price with respect to an Option or UAR may be made or deemed to have been made, which may include, without limitation, cash, check acceptable to the Company, withholding Units having a Fair Market Value on the
exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price from the Award, a “cashless” exercise through procedures approved by the Company, or any combination of the foregoing methods. 

(iii) Exercise of Options and UARs on Termination of Service. Each Option and UAR Award Agreement shall set forth
the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option or UAR following a termination of the Participant’s Service. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if the Participant’s Service is terminated for
Cause, the Participant’s right to exercise the Option or UAR shall terminate as of the start of business on the effective date of the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, to the extent the Option or UAR
is not vested and exercisable as of the termination of Service, the Option or UAR shall terminate when the Participant’s Service terminates. 

(iv) Term of Options and UARs. Each Option or UAR shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (A) the
date(s) for termination of the Option or UAR set forth herein or in the Award Agreement; and (B) the date that is ten (10) years from the grant date of the Option or UAR. 

(v) Committee Discretion. Subject to the limits of Section 6(a)(iv), the Committee shall provide in
each Award Agreement when each Option expires and becomes unexercisable. 
 (b) Restricted Units and Phantom Units. The Committee
shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Restricted Units and/or Phantom Units shall be granted, the number of Restricted Units or Phantom Units to be granted to each such Participant, the applicable
Restricted Period, the conditions under which the Restricted Units or Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited and such other terms and conditions, including, without limitation, restrictions on transferability and distributions, as the
Committee may establish with respect to such Awards. 

  
 8 

 (i) Payment of Phantom Units. The Committee shall specify the
conditions and dates or events upon which the cash or Units underlying an award of Phantom Units shall be issued, which dates or events shall not be earlier than the date on which the Phantom Units vest and become nonforfeitable and which conditions
and dates or events shall be intended to be compliant with or otherwise exempt from Section 409A. 
 (ii) Vesting
of Restricted Units. Upon or as soon as reasonably practicable following the vesting of each Restricted Unit, subject to satisfying the tax withholding obligations of Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to have the
restrictions removed from his or her Unit certificate (or book-entry account, as applicable) so that the Participant then holds an unrestricted Unit. 

(c) DERs. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom DERs are granted,
whether such DERs are tandem or separate Awards, whether the DERs shall be paid directly to the Participant, be credited to a bookkeeping account (with or without interest in the discretion of the Committee), any vesting restrictions and payment
provisions applicable to the DERs, and such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion, all of which shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreements. Distributions in respect of DERs shall be credited as
of the distribution dates during the period between the date an Award is granted to a Participant and the date such Award vests, is exercised, is distributed, is forfeited or expires, as determined by the Committee. Such DERs shall be converted to
cash, Units, Restricted Units and/or Phantom Units by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Committee. Tandem DERs may be subject to the same or different vesting restrictions as the tandem Award,
or be subject to such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DERs shall only be paid in a manner that is intended to be compliant with or otherwise exempt from
Section 409A. 
 (d) Unit Awards. Awards of Units may be granted under the Plan (i) to such Employees, Consultants and
Directors and in such amounts as the Committee, in its discretion, may select, and (ii) subject to such other terms and conditions, including, without limitation, restrictions on transferability, as the Committee may establish with respect to
such Awards. 
 (e) Profits Interest Units. An Award consisting of Profits Interest Units may be granted to an Employee, Consultant
or Director for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership (i) in the Participant’s capacity as a partner of the Partnership, (ii) in anticipation of the Participant becoming a partner of the Partnership, or
(iii) as otherwise determined by the Committee. At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify the date or dates on which the Profits Interest Units shall, if subject to vesting, vest and become nonforfeitable, and may specify such
conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate. Profits Interest Units shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may impose. 

  
 9 

 (f) Other Unit-Based Awards. Other Unit-Based Awards may be granted under the Plan to such
Employees, Consultants and Directors as the Committee, in its discretion, may select. An Other Unit-Based Award shall be an award denominated or payable in, valued in or otherwise based on or related to Units, in whole or in part. The Committee
shall determine the terms and conditions of any Other Unit-Based Award. Upon vesting, an Other Unit-Based Award may be paid in cash, Units (including Restricted Units) or any combination thereof as provided in the Award Agreement. 

(g) Substitute Awards. Awards may be granted under the Plan in substitution of similar awards held by individuals who are or who become
Employees, Consultants or Directors in connection with a merger, consolidation or acquisition by the Partnership or an Affiliate of another entity or the securities or assets of another entity (including in connection with the acquisition by the
Partnership or one of its Affiliates of additional securities of an entity that is an existing Affiliate of the Partnership). Such Substitute Awards that are Options or UARs may have exercise prices less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the
date of the substitution if such substitution complies with Section 409A and other applicable laws and securities exchange rules. 

(h) General. 

(i) Award Agreements. Each Award shall be evidenced in writing in an Award Agreement that shall reflect any
vesting conditions or restrictions imposed by the Committee covering a period of time specified by the Committee and shall also contain such other terms, conditions and limitations as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
Where signature or electronic acceptance of the Award Agreement by the Participant is required, any such Awards for which the Award Agreement is not signed or electronically accepted shall be forfeited. 

(ii) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of an Award Agreement, upon termination of a
Participant’s Service for any reason during an applicable Restricted Period, all outstanding, unvested Awards held by such Participant shall be automatically forfeited by the Participant for no consideration. Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence, the Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part such forfeiture with respect to any such Award; provided, that any such waiver shall be effective only to the extent that such waiver is intended not to cause
(i) any Award intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A to fail to satisfy such requirements or (ii) any Award intended to be exempt from Section 409A to become subject to and to fail to satisfy such requirements. 

(iii) Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted
either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate thereof. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other
Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate thereof may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards. 

  
 10 

 (iv) Limits on Transfer of Awards. 

(A) Except as provided in paragraph (C) below, each Option and UAR shall be exercisable only by the Participant (or
the Participant’s legal representative in the case of the Participant’s Disability or incapacitation) during the Participant’s lifetime, or by the person to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent
and distribution. 
 (B) Except as provided in paragraph (C) below, no Award and no right under any such Award
may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer
or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company, the Partnership or any Affiliate thereof. 
 (C) The
Committee may provide in an Award Agreement or in its discretion that an Award may, on such terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish, be transferred by a Participant without consideration to any “family member”
of the Participant, as defined in the instructions to use of the Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act, as applicable, or any other transferee specifically approved by the Committee after taking into account any state, federal,
local or foreign tax and securities laws applicable to transferable Awards. In addition, vested Units may be transferred to the extent permitted by the Partnership Agreement and not otherwise prohibited by the Award Agreement or any other agreement
or policy restricting the transfer of such Units. 
 (v) Term of Awards. Subject to
Section 6(a)(iv) above, the term of each Award, if any, shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee. 

(vi) Unit Certificates. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or
regulation, neither the Company nor the Partnership shall deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Units issued in connection with any Award and instead such Units shall be recorded in the books of the Partnership (or, as applicable, its
transfer agent or equity plan administrator). All certificates for Units or other securities of the Partnership delivered under the Plan and all Units issued pursuant to book entry procedures pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be
subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and/or other requirements of the SEC, any securities exchange upon which such Units or other securities are
then listed, and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be inscribed on any such certificates or book entry to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

(vii) Consideration for Grants. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Awards may be granted for such
consideration, including services, as the Committee shall determine. 

  
 11 

 (viii) Delivery of Units or other Securities and Payment by Participant of
Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting
of any Award, unless and until the Board or the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance of such Units is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements
of any securities exchange on which the Units are listed or traded, and the Units are covered by an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the
Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the delivery of Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award may be deferred for any period during which, in the good faith determination of the Committee, the Company is not reasonably able to
obtain or deliver Units pursuant to such Award without violating applicable law or the applicable rules or regulations of any governmental agency or authority or securities exchange. No Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any
Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement (including, without limitation, any exercise price or tax withholding) is received by the Company. 

SECTION 7. Amendment and Termination; Certain Transactions. 

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law: 

(a) Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by applicable law or the rules of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which
the Units are traded and subject to Section 7(b) below, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan in any manner at any time for any reason or for no reason without the consent of any
partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or any other Person. The Board shall obtain securityholder of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or securities exchange listing standards or rules.

 (b) Amendments to Awards. Subject to Section 7(a) above, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend
any terms of, or alter any Award or Award Agreement theretofore granted, provided that no change, other than pursuant to Section 7(c) below, in any Award shall materially reduce the rights or benefits of a Participant with respect
to an Award without the consent of such Participant. 
 (c) Actions Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events. Upon the occurrence of a
Change in Control, any transaction or event described in Section 4(c) above, any change in applicable laws or regulations affecting the Plan or Awards hereunder, or any change in accounting principles affecting the financial statements
of the Company or the Partnership, the Committee, in its sole discretion, without the consent of any Participant or holder of an Award, 

  
 12 

 
and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, which need not be uniform with respect to all Participants or all Awards, may take any one or more of the following actions: 

(i) provide for either (A) the termination of any Award in exchange for a payment in an amount, if any, equal to the
amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under such Award (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of such transaction or event, the Committee
determines in good faith that no amount would have been payable upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such
Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion having an aggregate value not exceeding the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights had
such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested; 
 (ii) provide that such Award be assumed by the successor
or survivor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or be exchanged for similar options, rights or awards covering the equity of the successor or survivor, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind
of equity interests and prices; 
 (iii) make adjustments in the number and type of Units (or other securities or property)
subject to outstanding Awards, the number and kind of outstanding Awards, the terms and conditions of (including the exercise price), and/or the vesting and performance criteria included in, outstanding Awards; 

(iv) provide that such Award shall vest or become exercisable or payable, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan
or the applicable Award Agreement; and 
 (v) provide that the Award cannot be exercised or become payable after such event
and shall terminate upon such event. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) with respect to an above event that constitutes an
“equity restructuring” that would be subject to a compensation expense pursuant to ASC Topic 718, the provisions in Section 4(c) above shall control to the extent they are in conflict with the discretionary provisions of this
Section 7, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7(c) or Section 4(c) above shall be construed as providing any Participant or any beneficiary of an Award any rights with respect to the “time
value,” “economic opportunity” or “intrinsic value” of an Award or limiting in any manner the Committee’s actions that may be taken with respect to an Award as set forth in this Section 7 or in
Section 4(c) above; and (ii) no action shall be taken under this Section 7 which shall cause an Award to result in taxation under Section 409A, to the extent applicable to such Award.  

SECTION 8. General Provisions. 

(a) No Rights to Award. No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity
of treatment of Participants, including the treatment upon termination of Service or pursuant to Section 7(c). The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 

  
 13 

 (b) Tax Withholding. Unless other arrangements have been made that are acceptable to the
Company, the Company or any Affiliate thereof is authorized to deduct or withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award, or from any compensation or other amount owing to a
Participant the amount (in cash or Units, including Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to such Award or other property) of any applicable taxes payable in respect of an Award, including its grant, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions
thereon, or any payment or transfer thereunder or under the Plan, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes. In the event that Units that
would otherwise be issued pursuant to an Award are used to satisfy such withholding obligations, the number of Units which may be so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Units which have a Fair Market Value on the date of
withholding equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. 

(c) No Right to Employment or Services. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained
in the employ or service of the Company, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates. Furthermore, the Company, the Partnership and/or an Affiliate thereof may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or consulting free from any liability or
any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any Award Agreement or other written agreement between any such entity and the Participant. 

(d) No Rights as Unitholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a unitholder with
respect to Units covered by any Award unless and until the Participant becomes the record owner of such Units. 
 (e)
Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the
Effective Date (as defined in Section 9 below), the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, adopt other policies and
procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), and/or take any other actions that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the Award, including without
limitation, actions intended to (i) exempt the Award from Section 409A, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A; provided, however, that nothing herein shall create any obligation on the part of the Committee,
the Partnership, the Company or any of their Affiliates to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action, nor shall the Committee, the Partnership, the Company or any of their Affiliates have any liability for failing
to do so. If any termination of Service constitutes a vesting or payment event with respect to any Award, such termination of Service must also constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Notwithstanding
any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the time of payment with respect to any Award that is subject to Section 409A shall not be accelerated, except as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4). Notwithstanding any
provision of this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of 

  
 14 

 
Section 409A as of the date of such Participant’s termination of Service and the Company determines that immediate payment of any amounts or benefits under this Plan would cause a
violation of Section 409A, then any amounts or benefits which are payable under this Plan upon the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A that: (i) are subject to the provisions of
Section 409A; (ii) are not otherwise exempt under Section 409A; and (iii) would otherwise be payable during the first six-month period following such separation from service, shall be paid, without interest, on the first business
day following the earlier of: (1) the date that is six months and one day following the date of termination; or (2) the date of the Participant’s death. Each payment or amount due to a Participant under this Plan shall be considered a
separate payment, and a Participant’s entitlement to a series of payments under this Plan is to be treated as an entitlement to a series of separate payments. 

(f) Lock-Up Agreement. Each Participant shall agree, if so requested by the Company or the Partnership and any underwriter in
connection with any public offering of securities of the Partnership or any Affiliate, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option,
right or warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Units held by it for such period, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the relevant registration statement filed under the
Securities Act in connection with such public offering, as such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith. The Company or the Partnership may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing
restrictions until the end of such 180-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 180-day period may be extended for up to such number of additional days as is deemed necessary by such underwriter or the
Company or Partnership to continue coverage by research analysts in accordance with FINRA Rule 2711 or any successor rule. 
 (g)
Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of Units and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all
applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state, federal and foreign securities law and margin requirements), the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which
the Units are listed, quoted or traded, and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or the Partnership, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any
securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the Person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company or the Partnership, provide such assurances and representations to the Company or the Partnership
as the Company or the Partnership may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the
extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. In the event an Award is granted to or held by a Participant who is employed or providing services outside the United States, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify the
provisions of the Plan or of such Award as they pertain to such Participant to comply with applicable foreign law or to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The Committee may also impose conditions on the grant, issuance,
exercise, vesting, settlement or retention of Awards in order to comply with such foreign law and/or to minimize the Company’s or the Partnership’s obligations with respect to tax equalization for Participants employed outside their home
country. 

  
 15 

 (h) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and
regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. 

(i) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes, or is deemed to be, invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be
construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such
Award shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (j) Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or other
consideration under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, the rules of the principal securities exchange on which
the Units are then traded, or entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise
of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. 
 (k) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither
the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and a Participant or any other Person,
on the other hand. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Partnership or any participating Affiliate of the
Partnership. 
 (l) No Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the
Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Units or whether such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.

 (m) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such
headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision hereof. 

(n) No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. None of the Board, the Committee, the Company or the Partnership provides or has provided any tax
advice to any Participant or any other Person or makes or has made any assurance, commitment or guarantee that any federal, state, local or other tax treatment will (or will not) apply or be available to any Participant or other Person and assumes
no liability with respect to any tax or associated liabilities to which any Participant or other Person may be subject. 
 (o)
Clawback. To the extent required by applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listing standards, or as otherwise determined by the Committee, Awards and amounts 

  
 16 

 
paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards shall be subject to the provisions of any clawback policy implemented by the Company, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, which
clawback policy may provide for forfeiture, repurchase and/or recoupment of Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Company, the
Partnership and their Affiliates reserve the right, without the consent of any Participant, to adopt any such clawback policies and procedures, including such policies and procedures applicable to this Plan or any Award Agreement with retroactive
effect. 
 (p) Unit Retention Policy. The Committee may provide in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to applicable law, that
any Units received by a Participant in connection with an Award granted hereunder shall be subject to a unit ownership, unit retention or other policy restricting the sale or transfer of units, as the Committee may determine to adopt, amend or
terminate in its sole discretion from time to time. 
 (q) Limitation of Liability. No member of the Board or the Committee or
employee to whom the Board or the Committee has delegated authority in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Plan shall be liable for anything done or omitted to be done by him or her by any member of the Board or the
Committee or by any employee in connection with the performance of any duties under this Plan, except for his or her own willful misconduct or as expressly provided by statute. 

(r) Facility Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any Person under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the Committee, is
unable to manage properly his or her financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such Person, or may be applied for the benefit of such Person in any manner that the Committee may select, and the Partnership, the Company and all of
their Affiliates shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts. 
 SECTION 9. Term of the Plan. 

The Plan shall be effective on the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue
until the date terminated by the Board. However, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or
rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date.

(i) any violation of Environmental Laws associated with or arising from the ownership or operation of the Partnership Assets
prior to the Closing Date; 
 (ii) any environmental event, condition or matter associated with or arising from the ownership
or operation of the Partnership Assets as in effect prior to the Closing Date (including the presence of Hazardous Substances on, under, about or migrating to or from the Partnership Assets or the disposal or the release of Hazardous Substances
generated by operation of the Partnership Assets at locations not constituting Partnership Assets), including (A) the cost and expense of any investigation, assessment, evaluation, monitoring, containment, cleanup, repair, restoration,

required or necessary under Environmental Laws as in effect prior to the Closing Date; and 
 (iii) any environmental event,
condition or matter associated with or arising from the Retained Assets, whether occurring before, on or after the Closing Date and whether occurring under Environmental Laws as in effect prior to, at or after the Closing Date; 

provided, however, that with respect to any violation of Environmental Laws subject to Section 2.1(a)(i) or
any environmental event, condition or matter subject to Section 2.1(a)(ii), Noble will be obligated to indemnify such Partnership Group Member only to the extent that such violation or environmental event, condition or matter
(x) was caused by the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement or commenced, occurred or existed before the Closing Date under Environmental Laws as in effect prior to the Closing Date and (y) Noble is
notified in writing of such violation or environmental event, condition or matter prior to the Identification Deadline. For the avoidance of doubt, Noble shall have no indemnification obligations under Sections 2.1(a)(i) and 2.1(a)(ii)
with respect to any claims based on additions to or modifications of Environmental Laws enacted or promulgated after the Closing Date. Losses subject to indemnification in this Section 2.1(a)(i) are referred to collectively as

harmless the Noble Energy Group from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by such Partnership Group Member, directly or indirectly, by reason of or arising out of:

Indemnification. Noble shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Partnership Group Member from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by such Partnership Group Member by reason of or arising out of the following (“Covered

use agreements, rights-of-way, surface leases, other easement rights or other real property interests in and to the lands on which any of the Partnership Assets conveyed or contributed to such Partnership Group Member on the Closing Date is located
as described in the Registration Statement, and such failure (i) renders such Partnership Group Member liable to a third party or unable to use or operate the Partnership Assets in substantially the same manner that the Partnership Assets were
used and operated by Noble immediately prior to the Closing Date or (ii) renders such Partnership Group Member unable to use the applicable real property interest for its intended purpose;

in the Partnership Assets to cross the roads, waterways, railroads and other areas upon which any such pipeline is located as of the Closing Date or (ii) the Transfer of any of the Partnership Assets to the Partnership Group, in each case,
where such failure renders the Partnership Group liable to a third party or unable to use or operate the Partnership Assets in substantially the same manner that the Partnership Assets were used and operated as described in the Registration
Statement; and 

  
 9 

 (c) the cost of curing any condition set forth in Section
2.2(a) or (b) that does not allow any Partnership Assets to be operated in accordance with prudent industry practice; 

provided, however, in each case, to the extent Noble is notified in writing of any of the foregoing prior to the Identification Deadline and in each
case other than in respect of which the Partnership has indemnified Noble for the Wells Ranch CGF Indemnity. 
 2.3 Additional
Indemnification. 
 (a) In addition to and not in limitation of the indemnification provided under Section 2.1(a) and

 (v) the failure of any
Partnership Group Member to have on the Closing Date any consent, license, permit or approval necessary to allow such Partnership Group Member to own or operate the Partnership Assets in substantially the same manner that the Partnership Assets were
owned or operated immediately prior to the Closing Date. 
 (b) The Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Noble Energy Group
from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by any Noble Energy Group Member by reason of or arising out of events and conditions to the extent associated with the ownership or operation of the Partnership Assets and to the extent occurring
after the Closing Date (other than Covered Environmental Losses which are provided for under Section 2.2(a) and Losses for which the Partnership is indemnifying Noble under Section 2.1(b)), unless such indemnification
would not be permitted by any Partnership Group Member under the Partnership Agreement. 

  
 10

against any Losses suffered or incurred by any Noble Energy Group Member by reason of or arising out of events and conditions, regardless of whether occurring prior to or following the Closing Date (the “Wells Ranch CGF Indemnity”),
to the extent associated with the Surface Lease, dated as of May 18, 2012, by and between Noble, Wells Ranch, LLLP and the other persons named as “Owners” thereunder, covering approximately 61 acres in Weld County, Colorado (the
“Original Lease”), as assigned, amended or otherwise modified by that certain Partial Assignment of Surface Lease with Wattenberg Holding, LLC, dated October 22, 2012, pursuant to which a portion of Noble’s interest in the
Surface Lease was assigned to such assignee, as further assigned, amended or otherwise modified by that certain Amendment to Surface Lease, dated June 18, 2013, pursuant to which certain payment terms appearing in the Surface Lease were
modified, as further assigned, amended or otherwise modified by that certain First Amendment to Surface Lease, dated July 3, 2013, pursuant to which certain terms of the Surface Lease were modified, as further assigned, amended or otherwise
modified by that certain Amendment 03 to Surface Lease, dated effective as of January 1, 2015, pursuant to which OpCo became a party to the Original Lease (such Original Lease, and all amendments prior to the date hereof and as such Original
Lease may be further assigned, amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Wells Ranch CGF Surface Lease”). In consideration of this Wells Ranch CGF Indemnity, Noble hereby agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer or
otherwise modify the Wells Ranch CGF Surface Lease from and after the date hereof without the prior written consent of OpCo. 
 (d) The
Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Noble Energy Group from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by any Noble Energy Group Member by reason of or arising out of events and conditions associated with the
Partnership’s exercise of the Property Access Rights. 
 2.4 Indemnification Procedures. 

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

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

  
 11 

 
pursuit of any counterclaims relating to any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article II, including the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or
other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the Indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense and counterclaims (provided, that the Indemnified Party has an opportunity to
review the use of its name and does not reasonably object to such use), the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense
and counterclaims, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Party and the granting to the Indemnifying Party of reasonable access rights to the properties and facilities of the Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that in connection therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files,
records and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 2.4. The obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not
be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims and pursuit of any counterclaims with respect to any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this
Article II; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense and counterclaims. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel
hired by the Indemnified Party informed as to the status of any such defense or counterclaim, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense and counterclaims so long as the Indemnified Party is still
seeking indemnification hereunder. 
 (d) In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the Indemnified Party is
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Party, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental
insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such claim and (ii) all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons. 

2.5 Limitations Regarding Indemnification. 

(a) Noble shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Partnership Group Member under this Agreement until such time as
the total aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Partnership Group exceeds $500,000 (the “Deductible”), in the aggregate for all types of Losses, at which time Noble shall be obligated to indemnify the Partnership Group for the
amount of such Losses in excess of the Deductible. 
 (b) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) there is no monetary cap on the amount of
indemnity coverage provided by any Indemnifying Party under this Article II, and (ii) the Partnership’s indemnification obligations under this agreement shall be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis pro rata relative to Noble’s
direct or indirect ownership interest in the Partnership Group Member that owns or leases or otherwise controls the Partnership Assets with respect to which an indemnification obligation for Losses exists. 

  
 12 

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

Section 2.1, Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 contain the Parties’ exclusive remedy against each other with respect to breaches of the covenants of the Parties set forth in Article II. Except for
(a) the remedies contained in Section 2.1, Section 2.2 and Section 2.3, (b) any other remedies available to the Parties at law or in equity for breaches of provisions of this Agreement other than
Article II and (c) the remedies available at law or in equity in connection with any other document delivered by a Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including pursuant to the Contribution Agreement), from and

employees, agents, advisors and representatives from any and all Losses in law or in equity, known or unknown, which such Parties might now or subsequently may have, based on, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. 
 ARTICLE III 

SERVICES; REIMBURSEMENT 

3.1 General and Administrative Services. 

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

(c) The Parties acknowledge that the Administrative Fee, together with the other costs and expenses of the General and Administrative Services
described herein, will be allocated among the Partnership Group Members (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes each of the Subsidiaries of the Partnership that own the real property interests and physical assets of the Partnership Group
Members) based on any reasonable allocation methodology as determined by the General Partner. 

  
 13 

 (d) For the avoidance of doubt, the General and Administrative Services provided by Noble
pursuant to this Article III will be in addition to, and not in duplication of, the services that will be provided to the Partnership Parties by Noble under the Operational Services and Secondment Agreement and the functions
performed by the employees seconded to the Partnership Parties under the Operational Services and Secondment Agreement, and Noble shall not be entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement for any costs or expenses for which Noble is entitled to
payment or reimbursement under the Operational Services and Secondment Agreement. 
 3.2 Administrative Fee. 

(a) As consideration for Noble’s and its Affiliates’ provision of the General and Administrative Services, the Partnership Group will
pay to Noble an annual flat fee that will initially be equal to $6,850,000 per year (and prorated for the portion of year following the consummation of the IPO) (the “Administrative Fee”), which will be payable in monthly
installments. The Parties acknowledge that the fixed fee reflects the costs expected to be incurred by Noble and its Affiliates in providing the General and Administrative Services (other than those costs for which Noble and its Affiliates are
entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.3 below). The Parties further acknowledge and agree that it is the intent of the Parties that the General and Administrative Services be provided based on an arm’s-length standard and
that the Administrative Fee is intended to reflect such standard. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Fee will cover the fully burdened cost of the General and Administrative Services
provided by Noble and its Affiliates to the Partnership Group, as well as any third-party costs actually incurred by Noble and its Affiliates on behalf of the Partnership Group in providing such General and Administrative Services (other than those
costs for which the Noble and its Affiliates are entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.3), including all sales, use, excise, value added or similar taxes, if any, that may be applicable from time to time with respect to the
General and Administrative Services provided by Noble and its Affiliates to the Partnership Group pursuant to Section 3.1. 

(b) If any officer of the General Partner is not covered by the amount paid under the Operational Services and Secondment Agreement, then the
Partnership Group shall be allocated an amount in consideration for the services of such employees of Noble Energy Group in their capacities as officers of the General Partner and the Partnership Group Members and such allocated amount shall be
included in the Administrative Fee. 
 (c) Concurrently with the annual rate redetermination process under the Revenue Agreements, Noble
shall submit to the Board of Directors of the General Partner its good faith estimate of the cost of the General and Administrative Services to be provided to the Partnership Group for the coming 12-month period, which may be adjusted to reflect,
among other things, the contribution, acquisition or disposition of assets to or by the Partnership Group or to reflect any change in the cost of providing General and Administrative Services to the Partnership Group due to changes in any law, rule
or regulation applicable to Noble and its Affiliates or the Partnership Group, including any interpretation of such laws, rules or regulations. The Board of Directors of the General Partner shall review the proposed Administrative Fee and shall
submit any disputes to Noble as promptly as reasonably practicable. If Noble and the Board of Directors of the General Partner are unable to agree on the Administrative Fee for any year, 

  
 14 

 
Noble and the Partnership shall submit the proposed Administrative Fee and supporting documentation to an independent auditing firm for review, and the determination of the independent auditing
firm with respect to all items included in the Administrative Fee shall be binding on Noble and the Partnership. 
 (d) The Administrative
Fee shall be invoiced and paid as follows: 
 (i) Within 20 days following the end of each month (or the next succeeding
business day) beginning with the first full month after the Closing Date and continuing through the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.4 (the “NEI Invoice Delivery Date”), Noble will submit to the
Partnership Group an invoice of the amounts due for such month for the Administrative Fee. Each invoice will be as detailed as the General Partner may require, acting reasonably, including (if requested) support of amounts set forth in the invoice
and such other supporting detail as requested. 
 (ii) The Partnership Group will pay the Administrative Fee within 10 days
after the receipt of the invoice therefor (the “Partnership Invoice Payment Date”). The Partnership Group shall not offset any amounts owing to it by Noble or any of its Affiliates against the Administrative Fee payable hereunder.

 3.3 Reimbursement of General and Administrative Expenses. In addition to the Administrative Fee payable under
Section 3.2, to the extent that Noble incurs direct third-party expenses for the exclusive benefit of the Partnership Group, the Partnership Group will reimburse Noble and its Affiliates for such additional out-of-pocket costs and
expenses actually incurred (so long as such amounts are invoiced within three months of incurrence). 
 3.4 Transition Services.
Following the consummation of the IPO, Noble shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend, assign or otherwise modify the Remaining Vendor Contracts such that a Partnership Group Member is directly contracting with the applicable third party
vendor under such Remaining Vendor Contracts. Until such time as Noble is able to enter into the amendments referenced in the foregoing sentence, Noble shall make payments to the vendors under the Remaining Vendor Contracts, and the Partnership
shall reimburse Noble for any such payments made on its behalf. Noble shall provide an invoice to OpCo of all payments made pursuant to the Remaining Vendor Contracts by the NEI Invoice Delivery Date for the applicable month, and OpCo shall
reimburse Noble for all such payments on or before the Partnership Invoice Payment Date for the applicable month. 
 ARTICLE IV 

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER 

4.1 Right of First Refusal to Purchase Certain Assets. 

(a) Beginning on the date hereof and terminating on the Rights Termination Date, Noble Energy Group hereby grants to the Partnership a right of
first refusal on (i) any proposed Transfer of ROFR Assets (other than a grant of a security interest to a bona fide third-party lender or a Transfer to the Noble Energy Group Member; provided that such Noble Energy Group Member shall
remain bound by this Section 4.1(a) of the ROFR Assets); and (ii) the provision of ROFR Services on the ROFR Acreage. 

  
 15 

 (b) The Parties acknowledge that all potential Transfers of ROFR Assets pursuant to this
Section 4.1 are subject to obtaining any and all required written consents of Governmental Authorities. 
 (c) The Partnership
shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to assign its rights under this Section 4.1 to any Affiliate of the Partnership. 

4.2 ROFR Procedures. 
 (a)
Asset Sale Procedures. The following sets forth the procedure for Noble to undertake to honor the right of first refusal with respect to the ROFR Assets. The actions described herein shall be taken by Noble or Noble shall cause the applicable
Noble Energy Group Member to take such actions required by this Section 4.2(a). 
 (i) If Noble proposes to
Transfer one or more ROFR Assets to any third-party (other than a Partnership Group Member), then Noble shall promptly give written notice (a “Disposition Notice”) thereof to the Partnership. The Disposition Notice shall set forth
the following information in respect of the proposed Transfer: (1) the name and address of any prospective acquirors (collectively, the “Proposed Transferee”), (2) the assets subject to the Disposition Notice (the
“Sale Assets”), (3) the purchase price offered by such Proposed Transferee or, if no Proposed Transferee has been identified, a commercially reasonable price in the opinion of Noble (either price described in this clause (3),
the “Offer Price”), (4) reasonable detail concerning any non-cash portion of the proposed consideration, if any, to allow the Partnership to reasonably determine the fair market value of such non-cash consideration and a
statement of the estimate of the fair market value of any non-cash consideration in the opinion of Noble (such term in this Section 4.2 to refer, collectively, to both Noble and the Noble Energy Group Member Transferring the applicable
ROFR Asset), and (5) all other material terms and conditions of the disposition that are then known to Noble and its Affiliates. To the extent a Proposed Transferee’s offer consists of consideration other than cash (or in addition to cash)
the Offer Price shall be deemed equal to the amount of any such cash plus the fair market value of such non-cash consideration. 

(ii) The Partnership will provide written notice of either (1) its intent to dispute the Offer Price, as provided in
Section 4.2(a)(iii) below or (2) its decision regarding the exercise or non-exercise of its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets within 60 days of its receipt of the Disposition Notice (the “First ROFR Asset
Acceptance Deadline”). Failure to provide such notice on or prior to the First ROFR Asset Acceptance Deadline shall be deemed to constitute an affirmative decision not to purchase the Sale Assets. 

(iii) In the event (1) the Offer Price is based upon an offer from a third-party and such Offer Price contains non-cash
consideration and the Partnership’s determination of the fair market value of such non-cash consideration described in the Disposition Notice (to be determined by the Partnership on or prior to the First ROFR Asset Acceptance Deadline) is less
than the fair market value of such consideration as determined by Noble in the Disposition Notice and (2) the Partnership and Noble are 

  
 16 

 
unable to mutually agree upon the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on or prior to the First ROFR Asset Acceptance Deadline, Noble and the Partnership shall engage a mutually
agreed upon valuation firm to determine the fair market value of the non-cash consideration. Such valuation firm shall be instructed to notify the Partnership and Noble of its decision within 30 days after all material information is submitted
thereto, which decision shall be final and binding. The fees of the valuation firm will be split equally between Noble and the Partnership. The Partnership will provide written notice of its decision regarding the exercise of its right of first
refusal to purchase the Sale Assets to Noble within 15 days after the valuation firm has submitted its determination (the “Second ROFR Asset Acceptance Deadline”). Failure to provide such notice on or prior to the Second ROFR Asset
Acceptance Deadline shall be deemed to constitute an affirmative decision by the Partnership not to purchase the Sale Assets. 

(iv) If the Partnership fails to exercise a right during any applicable period set forth in this Section 4.2(a),
the Partnership shall be deemed to have waived its right with respect to such proposed disposition of the Sale Assets, but such waiver shall not extend to any ROFR Assets that were not Sale Assets. 

(b) Services Procedures. The following sets forth the procedure for Noble to undertake to honor the right of first refusal with respect
to ROFR Services. The actions described herein shall be taken by Noble or Noble shall cause the Noble Energy Group Member to take such actions required by this Section 4.2(b). 

(i) If a Noble Energy Group Member proposes to (x) contract with any third party (other than a Partnership Group Member)
for the provision of ROFR Services on specified acreage that is ROFR Acreage or (y) continue, extend or renew any existing contract for ROFR Services on acreage that is ROFR Acreage (either contract described in clauses (x) or (y), a
“Services Contract”), then Noble shall promptly give written notice (a “Services Notice” and, together with a Disposition Notice, a “ROFR Notice”) thereof to the Partnership. The Services Notice
shall set forth the following information in respect of the Services Contract: (1) the name and address of any prospective provider of ROFR Services (collectively, the “Proposed Provider”), (2) a detailed description of
the services subject to the Services Notice (the “Proposed Services”), (3) the rate proposed to be charged by such Proposed Provider or, if no Proposed Provider has been identified, a commercially reasonable price in the
opinion of the Noble Energy Group (either price described in this clause (3), the “Service Rate”), (4) a description of the area in which the Proposed Services are required (the “Proposed Service Acreage”),
(5) the in-service date required by Noble, (6) reasonable detail of any required capital commitments or the build costs to acquire or build any assets necessary to provide the Proposed Services and (7) all other material terms and
conditions that Noble will require in connection with the Proposed Services. 
 (ii) The Partnership will provide written
notice of its decision regarding the exercise or non-exercise of its right of first refusal to provide the Proposed Services within 60 days of its receipt of the Services Notice (the “ROFR Services Acceptance Deadline” and, together
with the First ROFR Asset Acceptance Deadline and the Second ROFR Asset Acceptance Deadline, as applicable, the “Acceptance Deadline”). Failure 

  
 17 

 
to provide such notice prior to the ROFR Services Acceptance Deadline shall be deemed to constitute an affirmative decision not to provide the Proposed Services with respect to the Proposed
Service Acreage. 
 (iii) If the Partnership fails to exercise a right during any applicable period set forth in this
Section 4.2(b), the Partnership shall be deemed to have waived its rights to provide the Proposed Services on the Proposed Service Acreage, but such waiver shall not extend to ROFR Services that were not described in the Services Notice
and shall not extend to ROFR Acreage that was not included in the Proposed Service Acreage. 
 (c) If the Partnership chooses to exercise
its right of first refusal under Section 4.2(a), the Partnership and Noble shall enter into a definitive agreement for the purchase of the Sale Assets, which shall include the following terms: 

(i) with respect to any Sale Assets, the Partnership will agree to deliver cash for the Offer Price (unless the Partnership and
Noble agree that consideration will be paid by means of non-cash consideration); 
 (ii) Noble will represent that it has
good and indefeasible title to the Sale Assets, subject to all recorded matters and all physical conditions in existence on the closing date for the purchase of the Sale Assets, plus any other such matters as the Partnership may approve, which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If the Partnership desires to obtain any title insurance with respect to the Sale Assets, the full cost and expense of obtaining the same (including the cost of title examination, document duplication and
policy premium) shall be borne by the Partnership; 
 (iii) Noble will grant to the Partnership the right, exercisable at the
Partnership’s risk and expense, to make such surveys, tests and inspections of the Sale Assets as the Partnership may deem desirable, so long as such surveys, tests or inspections do not damage the Sale Assets or interfere with the activities
of Noble and its Affiliates (other than the Partnership Group) thereon and so long as the Partnership has furnished Noble with evidence that adequate liability insurance is in full force and effect; 

(iv) The Partnership will have the right to terminate its obligation to purchase the Sale Assets under this Article if the
results of any searches, surveys, tests or inspections conducted pursuant to Section 4.2(c)(ii) or Section 4.2(c)(iii) above are, in the reasonable opinion of the Partnership, unsatisfactory; 

(v) the closing date for the purchase of the Sale Assets shall occur no later than 120 days following receipt by Noble of
written notice by the Partnership of its intention to exercise its option to purchase the Sale Assets pursuant to Section 4.2(a); 

(vi) Noble shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver to the Partnership a special warranty deed, assignment of easement, or
comparable document, as appropriate, in the applicable jurisdiction, on the closing date for the purchase of the Sale Assets constituting real property interests, conveying the Sale Assets to the Partnership free and clear of all encumbrances
created by Seller and its Affiliates other than those set forth in Section 4.2(c)(ii) above; and 

  
 18 

 (vii) neither Noble nor the Partnership shall have any obligation to sell or buy
the Sale Assets if any of the material consents referred to in Section 4.1(b) have not been obtained. 
 (d) If the Partnership
chooses to exercise its right of first refusal under Section 4.2(b), the Partnership and Noble shall enter into a definitive agreement for the provision of the Proposed Services on the Proposed Service Acreage. 

(e) Noble and the Partnership shall cooperate in good faith in obtaining all necessary governmental and other third party approvals, waivers
and consents required in connection with the exercise of the Partnership’s rights under this Article IV. 
 (f) If (i) the
Transfer to any third party (other than a Partnership Group Member) of any Sale Assets is not consummated on terms substantially similar to the terms set forth in the Disposition Notice or (ii) the entry into a definitive agreement providing
for the provision of Proposed Services with a third party (other than a Partnership Group Member) has not occurred on terms substantially similar to the terms set forth in the Services Notice, in each case within the later of (A) 120 days after
the later of the applicable Acceptance Deadline, and (B) 10 days after the satisfaction of all governmental approval or filing requirements, if any, the ROFR Notice shall be deemed to lapse, and Noble may not Transfer any of the Sale Assets or
contract with a third party to provide the Proposed Services, as applicable, described in the ROFR Notice without complying again with the provisions of this Article IV. 

(g) If, after the Partnership has waived its rights pursuant to this Article IV or has allowed an Acceptance Deadline to lapse without
the exercise of its rights pursuant to this Article IV, any Noble Energy Group Member proposes to Transfer Sale Assets to a third party (other than a Partnership Group Member) or contract for the provision of Proposed Services with a third
party (other than a Partnership Group Member), and such transaction is proposed on terms materially more favorable to such third party than those set forth in the applicable ROFR Notice, such ROFR Notice shall be deemed ineffective, and Noble may
not effect such Transfer of Sale Assets or contract for such provision of Proposed Services, as applicable, without complying again with the provisions of this Article IV. 

(h) Notwithstanding anything provided herein, the Noble Energy Group shall be allowed to comply with all preexisting dedications, preferential
transfer rights, rights of first refusal (or similar encumbrance) and contracts for service that are in existence on the date that this Agreement becomes effective and on the date that the applicable acreage or asset is acquired by Noble Energy
Group (so long as such dedication or contract was not entered into in contemplation of such acquisition). 
 4.3 Right of First
Offer. 
 (a) Noble Energy Group hereby grants to the Partnership Group a right of first offer, exercisable at any time prior to the
Rights Termination Date, to purchase all or any part of the ROFO Equity to the extent that Noble proposes to Transfer all or any part of any ROFO Equity; provided, however, that Noble may Transfer all or any part of any ROFO Equity to a Noble
Energy Group Member that agrees in writing that such ROFO Equity remains subject to the 

  
 19 

 
provisions of this Section 4.3 and such Noble Energy Group Member assumes the obligations of Noble under this Section 4.3 with respect to such ROFO Equity, and such
Transfer shall not be subject to the Partnership Group’s right of first offer. 
 (b) The Parties acknowledge that any Transfer of all
or any part of any ROFO Equity pursuant to the Partnership’s right of first offer is subject to the terms of all existing agreements with respect to the ROFO Equity and shall be subject to and conditioned on the obtaining of any and all
necessary consents of securityholders, Governmental Authorities, lenders or other third parties; provided, however, that Noble hereby represents and warrants that, to its knowledge after reasonable investigation, there are no terms in such
agreements that would materially impair the rights granted to the Partnership Group pursuant to this Section 4.3 with respect to any ROFO Equity. 

4.4 ROFO Procedures. The following sets forth the procedure for Noble and NBL Midstream to undertake to honor the right of first offer
on the ROFO Equity. The actions described herein shall be taken by Noble or NBL Midstream, or Noble shall cause the applicable Noble Energy Group Member to take such actions required by this Section 4.4. 

(a) If NBL Midstream proposes to Transfer all or any part of any ROFO Equity (other than to a Noble Energy Group member in accordance with
Section 4.3(a)) prior to the Rights Termination Date (a “Proposed ROFO Transaction”), NBL Midstream shall, prior to entering into any such Proposed ROFO Transaction, first give notice in writing to the Partnership (the
“ROFO Notice”) of its intention to enter into such Proposed ROFO Transaction. The ROFO Notice shall include any material terms, conditions and details that would be necessary for the Partnership to make a responsive offer to enter
into the Proposed ROFO Transaction with NBL Midstream, which terms, conditions and details shall at a minimum include any terms, conditions or details that NBL Midstream would propose to provide to non-Affiliates in connection with the Proposed ROFO
Transaction. If the Partnership determines to purchase the ROFO Equity, the Partnership shall have 60 days following receipt of the ROFO Notice to propose an offer to enter into the Proposed ROFO Transaction with NBL Midstream (the “ROFO
Response”). The ROFO Response shall set forth the terms and conditions (including the purchase price the Partnership proposes to pay for the ROFO Equity and the other terms of the purchase) pursuant to which the Partnership would be willing
to enter into a binding agreement for the Proposed ROFO Transaction. If no ROFO Response is delivered by the Partnership within such 60-day period, then the Partnership shall be deemed to have waived its right of first offer with respect to such
ROFO Equity subject to Section 4.3. 
 (b) Unless the ROFO Response is rejected pursuant to written notice delivered by NBL
Midstream to the Partnership within 60 days of the delivery to NBL Midstream of the ROFO Response, such ROFO Response shall be deemed to have been accepted by NBL Midstream, and NBL Midstream shall enter into a definitive agreement with the
Partnership providing for the consummation of the Proposed ROFO Transaction upon the terms set forth in the ROFO Response. Unless NBL Midstream and the Partnership otherwise agree, the terms of the definitive agreement will include the following:

 (i) the Partnership will deliver the agreed purchase price (in cash, Partnership Interests, an interest-bearing promissory
note or any combination thereof); 

  
 20 

 (ii) the closing date for the purchase of the ROFO Equity shall occur no later
than 120 days following receipt by NBL Midstream of the ROFO Response pursuant to Section 4.3(a); 
 (iii) each
of NBL Midstream and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to effectuate the consummation of any transactions contemplated by this
Section 4.4, including causing its respective Affiliates to execute, deliver and perform all documents, notices, amendments, certificates, instruments and consents required in connection therewith; and 

(iv) neither NBL Midstream nor the Partnership shall have any obligation to consummate the Proposed ROFO Transaction if any
consent referred to in Section 4.3(b) has not been obtained. 
 (c) If the Partnership has not timely delivered a ROFO Response
as specified in this Section 4.4 with respect to a Proposed ROFO Transaction that is subject to a ROFO Notice, NBL Midstream shall be free to enter into a Proposed ROFO Transaction with any third party on terms and conditions no more
favorable to such third party than those set forth in the ROFO Notice. If NBL Midstream rejects a ROFO Response with respect to any Proposed ROFO Transaction, NBL Midstream shall be free to enter into a Proposed ROFO Transaction with any third party
(i) on terms and conditions (excluding those relating to price) that are not more favorable in the aggregate to such third party than those proposed in respect of the Partnership Group in the ROFO Response and (ii) at a price equal to no
less than 100% of the price offered by the Partnership in the ROFO Response to NBL Midstream. 
 (d) The Partnership may assign its rights
and obligations under this Article IV to any Partnership Group Member. 
 ARTICLE V 

ACCESS RIGHTS 
 5.1
Access Rights. For the term of this Agreement, Noble hereby grants the Partnership Group access and use rights with respect to certain items of real and personal property related to the Retained Assets set forth on Schedule E, and such
rights shall include automation services. 
 ARTICLE VI 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 6.1
Confidentiality. 
 (a) From and after the Closing Date, each Party (each, a “Receiving Party”) in possession of

Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party by a Governmental Authority or applicable law, or is required to disclose such Confidential Information pursuant to the listing standards of any applicable national securities exchange on which the
Receiving Party’s securities are listed or quoted, the Receiving Party shall promptly advise, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Disclosing Party of such requirement or obligation to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the
Receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective in order that, where possible, the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the Disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the
circumstances. The Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it is required or obligated to disclose and shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party in allowing the Disclosing Party
to obtain such protective order or other relief. 
 (c) Each Party acknowledges that a Disclosing Party would not have an adequate remedy at
law for the breach by a Receiving Party of any one or more of the covenants contained in this Section 6.1 and agrees that, in the event of such breach, the Disclosing Party may, in addition to the other remedies that may be available to
it, apply to a court for an injunction to prevent breaches of this Section 6.1 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Section 6.1. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the provisions of this Section 6.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two years.
