(a) If the capacity and/or the volume of water in the Fresh Water System is insufficient for water to be made available at the flow rates
desired by Producer at one or more Frac Water Delivery Points, Producer may, at its option and subject to the fees in Section  

  
 9 

 
6.1(a)(ii), provide supplemental Fresh Water by truck to the Service Provider at the applicable Impoundment Facility or Fresh Water or Produced Water to Service Provider’s facilities
at the applicable Well Pad so that the desired flow rates can be achieved. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 14.1(a)(ii), Service
Provider shall not have any liability whatsoever for its inability to make water available at the flow rates desired by Producer. 

Section 3.5 Development Plan; Fresh Water Facilities Plan; Exchange and Review of Information. 

(a) The Initial Development Plan describes Producer’s planned development and drilling activities relating to the Service Area Properties
through December 31, 2017 (such plan, as updated as hereinafter provided, the “Development Plan”). Following the Effective Date, on or before the last Day of each Month, Producer shall provide Service Provider an updated
Development Plan describing the planned development and drilling activities relating to the Service Area Properties for the 24-Month period commencing on the date of such updated Development Plan. Each Development Plan will include
(i) information as to the Wells that Producer expects will be drilled during such period (each such Well reflected in a Development Plan, a “Planned Well”), which may be by reference to Well Pads and the number of Wells
to be drilled at such Well Pads, information as to the Well Pads expected to be constructed during such period and the approximate locations thereof, and the earliest date on which one or more Planned Wells at each such Well Pad are expected to be
hydraulically fractured, and (ii) good faith and reasonable forecasts of the periods of time during which Fresh Water will be required at each Well Pad for the purpose of hydraulic fracturing operations for all Planned Wells on such Well Pad
and the volumes of Fresh Water and the rates of flow that will be required for hydraulic fracturing operations on such Well Pad during the 24-Month period following the date of such Development Plan. Producer shall make its representatives available
to discuss the Development Plan from time to time with Service Provider and its representatives, in order to facilitate advance planning for expansion or improvement of the Fresh Water System and/or the planning of the Fresh Water Services and to
address other matters relating to the construction and installation of additions to the Fresh Water System. Producer may provide updated or amended Development Plans to Service Provider at any time and shall provide its then-current Development Plan
to Service Provider from time to time on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after Service Provider’s request therefor. 

(b) Service Provider has provided to Producer a Fresh Water System plan describing and/or depicting the Fresh Water System, including all Take
Points, pipelines, Impoundment Facilities, rights of way for surface Fresh Water lines, and all pumping stations and other major physical facilities, together with their locations, sizes and other physical specifications, operating parameters,
capacities, and other relevant specifications, and together with a schedule for completing the construction and installation of the planned portions thereof, in each case as currently in existence, under construction, or planned, together with
information about the High Rate Transfer Facilities, including the number and capacity of ASTs and high rate transfer pumps, that will be utilized to perform the High-Rate Transfer Services at each Well Pad (such plan, as updated as hereinafter
provided, the “Fresh Water Facilities Plan”). Based on the Development Plans and such other information about the expected development of the Service 

  
 10 

 
Area Properties as shall be provided to Service Provider by or on behalf of Producer, Service Provider shall periodically update the Fresh Water Facilities Plan. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Service Provider shall ensure that the Fresh Water Facilities Plan reflects all Required Connection Wells included in each Monthly Development Plan not later than 30 Days after such Development Plan is delivered to Service
Provider. Service Provider shall make the Fresh Water Facilities Plan available for inspection by Producer and its representatives from time to time and shall make representatives of Service Provider available to discuss the Fresh Water Facilities
Plan from time to time with Producer and its representatives. Service Provider shall provide Producer updates not less frequently than Monthly on the progress of work on all facilities necessary to connect the Fresh Water System to the Well Pads on
which the Required Connection Wells are or are to be located as set forth in the then-current Fresh Water Facilities Plan. 
 (c) The Parties
recognize that the plans for the development of the Service Area Properties set forth in each Development Plan, as well as all information provided by Producer to Service Provider regarding its intentions with respect to the development of the
Service Area Properties, are subject to change and revision at any time at the discretion of Producer, and that such changes may impact the timing, configuration, and scope of the planned activities of Service Provider. The exchange of such
information and any changes thereto shall not give rise to any rights or liabilities as between the Parties except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and Service Provider shall determine at its own risk the time at which it begins to work on
and incur costs in connection with projects to expand the Fresh Water System and its other facilities and capacities, including the acquisition of rights of way, equipment, and materials. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Producer
has no obligation to Service Provider under this Agreement to develop or produce any Hydrocarbons from the Service Area Properties or to pursue or complete any drilling or development on the Service Area Properties, whether or not envisioned in the
Development Plan. 
 Section 3.6 Expansion of Fresh Water System; Connection of Well Pads. 

(a) The Service Provider shall design and develop the Fresh Water System at least to the capacity of the Minimum Flow Rate for the purpose of
providing Fresh Water Services as and when needed for hydraulic fracturing operations on the Required Connection Wells, and Service Provider shall be obligated, at its sole cost and expense, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to plan,
procure, construct, install, own, and operate the Fresh Water System so as to timely extend the Fresh Water System to all Wells Pads on which Required Connection Wells are located and timely deliver such quantities of Fresh Water to the Wells Pads
so as to permit Service Provider to commence providing the full scope of Services with respect to all the Required Connection Wells in accordance with this Section 3.6; provided, that the foregoing shall not preclude Service
Provider from also designing and developing the Fresh Water System to provide services to third parties. 
 (b) Producer shall from time to
time give notice, in the form of Exhibit A hereto (or in such form as the Parties shall otherwise agree from time to time), to Service Provider of each Planned Well that Producer intends to drill and complete in the Service Area (a
“Connection Notice”). Each Connection Notice shall set forth the target commencement date for starting the hydraulic fracturing of such Well (the “Target Commencement Date”). 

  
 11 

 (c) On or before the 30th Day after delivery of a Connection Notice for a Planned Well, Service
Provider shall, by notice to Producer, (i) (A) acknowledge that the Planned Well covered by such Connection Notice is a Required Connection Well and provide anticipated aggregate Take Point flow rate availability or (B) acknowledge
that such Planned Well is not a Required Connection Well but nonetheless commit to extend the Fresh Water System to the Well Pad on which such Planned Well is or will be located and, in each case, make Fresh Water available for such Planned Well for
the Delivery Fee defined in Section 6.1(a), and provide anticipated aggregate Take Point flow rate availability, or (ii) state that it has determined that such Planned Well is not a Required Connection Well or that, whereas such
Planned Well is within the Two Mile Perimeter and/or was included in the Initial Development Plan, making Fresh Water available for such Planned Well is not commercially economical, as solely determined by Service Provider, and in either case state
the Delivery Fee that it would charge for extending the Fresh Water System to the Well Pad on which such Planned Well is located and making Fresh Water available for such Planned Well. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Service Provider does not
control the availability of Fresh Water at each Take Point and Service Provider’s written notice in response to each Connection Notice shall be subject to change due to fluctuations of Fresh Water availability at any Take Point. Service
Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such fluctuations at any Take Point and shall promptly provide written notice to Producer of any material change in anticipated aggregate Take Point flow rate based on Service
Provider’s prior notice to Producer. 
 (d) If Service Provider delivers the notice referred to in Section 3.6(c)(i)(A) with
respect to a Connection Notice for a Planned Well, such Planned Well shall be deemed a Required Connection Well. If Service Provider delivers the notice referred to in Section 3.6(c)(i)(B) with respect to a Connection Notice for a
Planned Well, Producer may, by notice to Service Provider, accept Service Provider’s proposed Delivery Fee, in which case such Planned Well shall be deemed a Required Connection Well from and after the date of Producer’s notice, and the
Delivery Fee proposed in Service Provider’s notice shall be charged for Fresh Water made available at the Frac Water Delivery Point at the Well Pad on which such Planned Well is located. 

(e) If Service Provider delivers the notice referred to in Section 3.6(c)(ii) with respect to a Connection Notice for a Planned
Well, and if Producer desires to have the Fresh Water System extended to the Well Pad on which such Planned Well is located but does not agree to the proposed Delivery Fee stated in such notice, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period
not to exceed 30 Days from the date of such notice and use reasonable efforts to reach agreement on a Delivery Fee that would be applicable to Fresh Water made available for such Planned Well. If the Parties agree in writing on such Delivery Fee,
such Planned Well shall be deemed a Required Connection Well from and after the date of such agreement, and the Delivery Fee agreed by the Parties shall be charged for Fresh Water made available at the Frac Water Delivery Point at the Well Pad on
which such Planned Well is located. If the Parties do not reach agreement within such 30-day period, Producer may, at its option by notice to Service Provider, (i) withdraw the Connection Notice with respect to such Planned Well, in which case
Producer may source Fresh Water for hydraulic fracturing operations on such Planned Well from such source as Producer may determine, or (ii) agree to pay the incremental costs incurred by Service Provider to extend the Fresh Water System to the
Well Pad on which such Planned Well is located above the costs that would be incurred by Service Provider to extend the Fresh Water 

  
 12 

 
System to such Well Pad if it were located at the point on the Two Mile Perimeter, as of the date of the Connection Notice for such Planned Well, that is nearest such Well Pad, in which case such
Planned Well shall become a Required Connection Well from and after the date of Producer’s notice, and the Delivery Fee defined in Section 6.1(a) shall apply to Fresh Water made available for such Planned Well. 

(f) Service Provider shall cause the necessary facilities to be constructed to extend the Fresh Water System to the Well Pad on
which each Required Connection Well is located and to make Fresh Water available for such Required Connection Well. Such facilities shall be available to make Fresh Water available to such Required Connection Well as soon as reasonably practicable
following the Connection Notice with respect to such Well and in any event on or before the later to occur of (1) the Target Commencement Date with respect to such Well, (2) the date that is 365 Days after the Connection Notice for such
Well, and (3) the date on which such Well is ready for hydraulic fracturing (the later of such dates, with respect to such Well, the “Completion Deadline”). Service Provider shall provide Producer notice promptly upon
Service Provider’s becoming aware of any reason to believe that it may not be able to complete the extension of the Fresh Water System to the Well Pad on which a Required Connection Well is located by the Target Commencement Date therefor or to
otherwise complete all facilities necessary to make Fresh Water available for such Well by the Target Commencement Date therefor. If and to the extent Service Provider is delayed in completing and making available such facilities by a Force Majeure
event or any action of Producer that is inconsistent with the cooperation requirements of Section 3.9, then the Completion Deadline for such connection shall be extended for a period of time equal to that during which Service
Provider’s completion and making available of such facilities was delayed by such events or actions. If such facilities are not completed and made available by the Completion Deadline, as Producer’s sole and exclusive remedies for such
delay, 
 (i) Producer may, until such time as the Fresh Water System is extended to such Well Pad and Fresh
Water can be made available from the Fresh Water System to such Well, source Fresh Water for hydraulic fracturing operations at such Well from such source as it may determine; and 

(ii) Producer shall have the right to complete the procurement, construction and/or installation of any rights or facilities
necessary to extend the Fresh Water System to such Well Pad and/or to permit Fresh Water from the Fresh Water System to be made available at the Frac Water Delivery Point at such Well Pad, in which case Service Provider shall pay to Producer an
amount equal to 115% of all reasonable actual and verifiable costs and expenses incurred by Producer in so procuring, constructing, and/or installing such rights and facilities, and Producer shall convey all such rights and facilities to Service
Provider and such rights and facilities shall thereafter be part of the Fresh Water System. 
 The remedies set forth in clauses (i) and
(ii) above shall be applicable to Wells with Completion Deadlines that are on or after December 22, 2015. 
 (g) Producer has
previously delivered a Connection Notice to Service Provider with respect to the Required Connection Wells set forth on Exhibit C. Such Connection Notice shall be deemed to have been given for each such Required Connection Well 365 Days prior
to the Target Commencement Date specified for such Well in such notice. 

  
 13 

 Section 3.7 Installation and Operation of High-Rate Transfer Facilities. 

(a) Service Provider shall be obligated, directly or through subcontractors, to engineer, procure, transport to the Well Pad or other
applicable site, and erect or install on the Well Pad or on such site on or prior to the Completion Deadline all necessary High-Rate Transfer Facilities to enable Fresh Water to be transferred from the Fresh Water System, such Fresh Water to be
mixed with Produced Water in accordance with Producer’s instructions, and to transfer Frac Water through the High-Rate Transfer Facilities to the Frac Water Delivery Points. Service Provider shall ensure that all such High-Rate Transfer
Facilities remain on the Well Pad or on such site and be available to perform the High-Rate Transfer Services at all times during which Producer has notified Service Provider in accordance with Section 9.1 that hydraulic fracturing
operations will be carried out on such Well Pad until such time as Producer has advised Service Provider that all hydraulic fracturing operations have been completed on all Planned Wells at such Well Pad. Service Provider shall have the right to
remove and re-install or re-erect such High Rate Transfer Facilities from time to time as long as no delay or disruption in Producer’s hydraulic fracturing operations results therefrom. 

(b) Producer shall provide sufficient space on the Well Pad for all necessary High-Rate Transfer Facilities other than ASTs to be located on
such Well Pad. Producer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide sufficient space on the Well Pad, or if sufficient space on such Well Pad is not available, on the nearest reasonably available site, in any event, within one mile of the
Well Pad, for the erection and installation of all ASTs required by Service Provider for the performance of the High-Rate Transfer Services on such Well Pad, together with rights of access to such site from a public road and easements or rights of
way over which Service Provider may run hoses and temporary Fresh Water lines to the Well Pad. If Producer, through the use of commercially reasonable efforts, has been unable, by the date that is at least 180 days prior to the Target Commencement
Date for such Well Pad, to obtain such a site and such rights of access and easements, Producer shall promptly notify Service Provider, and Service Provider shall be responsible for obtaining such site and the related access rights and easements.

 (c) Service Provider shall be responsible for the operation, maintenance, repair, and removal of all High-Rate Transfer Facilities,
including the operation of the applicable ASTs, ensuring that such ASTs and other High-Rate Transfer Facilities are operating properly and that the Fresh Water is transferred from such ASTs at proper flow rates (such that such ASTs do not overflow),
and necessary coordination with Producer’s and its hydraulic fracturing contractors’ personnel. 
 (d) If Service Provider fails to
perform its obligations to timely engineer, procure, transport, erect, and install the High-Rate Transfer Facilities by the Completion Date or fails to ensure that such High-Rate Transfer Facilities remain on the Well Pad or other applicable site in
each case in accordance with Section 3.7(a) or fails to perform the High-Rate Transfer Services in connection with the hydraulic fracturing of Wells on a Well Pad in accordance with Section 3.1(d), then, as Producer’s
sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, Producer shall 

  
 14 

 
have the right to complete the engineering, procurement, transportation, erection and/or installation (including through one or more subcontractors) of replacement facilities and/or to carry out
such activities itself (including through one or more subcontractors), in which case Service Provider shall pay, within 30 days after presentment of an invoice therefor, to Producer an amount equal to 115% of all reasonable, actual and verifiable
out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Producer in so engineering, procuring, transporting, erecting, and installing such facilities and carrying out such activities, and upon receipt of payment by Producer therefor, Producer shall convey all
such rights (including rights under third party contracts) and facilities owned or under the control of Producer to Service Provider (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any applicable consents triggered by such assignment). 

Section 3.8 Right of Way and Access. Service Provider is responsible for the acquisition of rights of way, crossing
permits, licenses, use agreements, access agreements, leases, fee parcels, and other rights in land necessary to construct, own, and operate the Fresh Water System, and all such rights in land shall be solely for use by Service Provider and shall
not be shared with Producer, except as otherwise agreed by Service Provider; provided, however, that if Producer’s rights to take Fresh Water from any Take Point (or any other surface use or other agreements of Producer) also provide Producer
the right to use any lands for the purpose of installing facilities to take Fresh Water, Producer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such rights available to Service Provider; and provided, further, that Producer agrees to grant
and/or to cause each Rice Entity to grant, without warranty of title, either express or implied, to the extent that it has the right to do so without the incurrence of material expense, an easement and right of way upon all lands covered by the
Service Area Properties, for the purpose of installing, using, maintaining, servicing, inspecting, repairing, operating, replacing, disconnecting, and removing all or any portion of the Fresh Water System, including all pipelines, meters, and other
equipment necessary for the performance of this Agreement; provided, further, that the exercise of these rights by Service Provider shall not unreasonably interfere with Producer’s or such Rice Entity’s lease operations or with the rights
of owners in fee, and will be subject to Producer’s safety and other reasonable access requirements applicable to Producer’s personnel. Neither Producer nor such Rice Entity shall have a duty to maintain the underlying agreements (such as
leases, easements, and surface use agreements) that such grant of easement or right of way to Service Provider is based upon, and such grants of easement or right of way will terminate if Producer or such Rice Entity, as applicable, loses its rights
to the property, regardless of the reason for such loss of rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Producer will assist Service Provider to secure replacements for such terminated grants of easement or right of way, in a manner consistent
with the cooperation requirements of Section 3.9, (ii) to the extent that Producer agrees that Service Provider’s Measurement Facilities may be located on Producer’s Well Pad sites, Producer shall be responsible for
obtaining any necessary rights to locate such Measurement Facilities on such Well Pad sites, and (iii) Producer shall use reasonable efforts to involve Service Provider in Producer’s negotiations with the owners of lands covered by the
Service Area Properties so that Producer’s surface use agreements and Service Provider’s rights of way with respect to such lands can be concurrently negotiated and obtained. 

Section 3.9 Cooperation. Because of the interrelated nature of the actions of the Parties required to obtain the necessary
Governmental Approvals from the appropriate Governmental Authorities and the necessary consents, rights of way and other authorizations 

  
 15 

 
from other Persons necessary to drill and complete each Planned Well and construct the required extensions of the Fresh Water System to each Well Pad, the Parties agree to work together in good
faith to obtain such Governmental Approvals, authorizations, consents and rights of way as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, all as provided herein. The Parties further agree to cooperate with each other and to communicate regularly regarding
their efforts to obtain such Governmental Approvals, authorizations, consents and rights of way. 
 ARTICLE 4 

CERTAIN PROVISIONS REGARDING PRODUCED WATER SERVICES 

Section 4.1 Access to Produced Water Receipt Points. Producer shall be responsible for ensuring that Service Provider and
its subcontractors have safe road access to all Produced Water Receipt Points from public roadways suitable for travel by highway trucking equipment. As between Producer and Service Provider, Producer shall be responsible for all maintenance of and
damage to (and all payments in respect thereof) all access roads from public roadways to the Produced Water Receipt Points. 

Section 4.2 Dispatch Procedures. 

(a) Service Provider shall install, regularly inspect, maintain, and operate, at Service Provider’s cost, in Producer’s Produced
Water tanks located at or in the vicinity of each Well Pad, water-level sensors connected to a remote monitoring system capable of making available to Service Provider on an hourly or more frequent basis data regarding the level of Produced Water in
each such tank. Producer hereby grants Service Provider the right, and agrees to provide access for, Service Provider to install, regularly inspect, maintain and operate such sensors. Service Provider shall be responsible for the timely dispatch of
trucks to all Wells at which such sensors and monitoring systems are installed and operating properly to collect Produced Water from the tanks at such Wells. In the event that Service Provider is notified or otherwise has knowledge of any outage of
or malfunction in any such sensors at any such tanks or any outage of or malfunction in such monitoring system, Service Provider shall use reasonable efforts to timely dispatch trucks to collect Produced Water based on historical flow rates or on
information provided by Producer but shall not otherwise be liable for any failure to timely dispatch trucks to any affected tank during any period of any such outage or malfunction. 

Section 4.3 Designated Receiving Facilities. 

(a) Service Provider shall treat, recycle, release, sell for re-use, or otherwise dispose of, or shall cause an Affiliate or subcontractor of
Service Provider to treat, recycle, release, sell for re-use, or otherwise dispose of, all Produced Water collected by Service Producer at the Produced Water Receipt Points in the Service Area through facilities, including Service Provider’s or
its Affiliates’ own facilities, that have been designated by Service Provider and approved by Producer (each such facility, a “Designated Receiving Facility”). If Producer approves a facility as a Designated Receiving
Facility, it shall have the right, at any time upon notice to Service Provider, to withdraw such approval, and such facility shall cease to be a Designated Receiving Facility effective upon the
60th Day after such notice; provided, however, that Producer shall reimburse Service Provider for all costs reasonably incurred by Service Provider in order to utilize such facility as a
Designated Receiving Facility and shall indemnify Service Provider and its Affiliates for any contractual liability incurred by Service Provider to a third party as a result of its not being able to utilize such facility as a Designated Receiving
Facility. 

  
 16 

 (b) Producer shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to visit and observe operations
at each Designated Receiving Facility operated by Service Provider, in each case during normal business hours, on reasonable notice, and subject to such reasonable safety procedures as shall be reasonably required by Service Provider. Such visits
and observations shall be carried out in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with operations at such Designated Receiving Facility. Service Provider shall use reasonable efforts to afford Producer the opportunity to visit and observe
operations at each Designated Receiving Facility operated by a Service Provider subcontractor and shall at the request of Producer perform such visits and observations and use reasonable efforts to include a representative of Producer among its
representatives on any such visit. 
 Section 4.4 Non-Conforming Produced Water. If the
Produced Water quality at any Produced Water Receipt Point does not conform to the Produced Water Quality Standards, then Service Provider will have the right to immediately discontinue taking Produced Water at such Produced Water Receipt Point so
long as the Produced Water at such Produced Water Receipt Point continues to be non-conforming. In the event that Service Provider takes receipt of non-conforming Produced Water at any Produced Water Receipt Point, Producer agrees to be responsible
for, and to defend, indemnify, release, and hold Service Provider and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, representatives, and invitees harmless from and against, all claims and losses of whatever kind and nature
resulting from such non-conforming Produced Water, including claims and losses resulting from any negligent acts or omissions of any indemnified party, but excluding claims and losses to the extent caused by or arising out of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the indemnified party. “Produced Water Quality Standards” means, with respect to any Produced Water, that such Produced Water is free from any contamination or any substances that would result in such
Produced Water not meeting any requirements imposed by Applicable Law for transportation by truck or any quality standards of a Designated Receiving Facility. 

Section 4.5 Transportation Services Equipment. Service Provider shall provide, or cause to be provided, all equipment
necessary to perform the Transportation Services. The equipment shall (a) be suitable for the performance of the Transportation Services, (b) comply with the specifications for equipment used for services equivalent to the Transportation
Services as required by Applicable Law, including the regulations of the USDOT, and (c) be maintained in a good, safe, and serviceable condition. Service Provider shall only use subcontractors to perform the Transportation Services that
maintain a USDOT safety rating of “Satisfactory”.

 ARTICLE 6 

FEES AND CONSIDERATION 

Section 6.1 Fees. 

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Producer shall pay Service Provider each Month in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, for all Services provided by Service Provider during such Month, an amount equal to the sum of the following: 

(i) the aggregate volume of Fresh Water stated in Gallons delivered by Service Provider to the Frac Water Delivery Points, as
measured at the Fresh Water Measurement Points, during such Month multiplied by the tiered fee set forth below (as may be otherwise agreed in accordance with Section 3.6(a) or increased or decreased in accordance with
Section 6.1(c), the “Delivery Fee”): 
  

					
	 For volumes up to and including the first 8,250,000 Gallons per Well
	  	$	0.07 per Gallon	  
	 For Volumes above 8,250,000 Gallons up to and including 13,250,000 Gallons per Well
	  	$	0.03 per Gallon	  
	 For volumes above 13,250,000 Gallons per Well
	  	$	0.01 per Gallon	  

 Volumes of supplemental Fresh Water delivered by Producer to Service Provider at an Impoundment Facility or
supplemental Fresh Water delivered by Producer to Service Provider at the Well Pad during such Month as contemplated in Section 3.4 shall not be subject to the Delivery Fee and shall not be included in the volumes of Fresh Water
delivered to a Frac Water Delivery Point and used in hydraulic fracturing operations for purposes of determining the appropriate Delivery Fee tier. 

(ii) an amount equal to $0.01 per Gallon of supplemental Fresh Water delivered by Producer to Service Provider at
an Impoundment Facility or Service Provider’s facilities at the applicable Well Pad during such Month as contemplated in Section 3.4 (the “Supplemental Water Fee”); and 

  
 18 

 (iii) an amount equal to the sum of (A) all third party out-of-pocket costs
actually incurred by Service Provider in performing the Produced Water Services (“Reimbursable Produced Water Services Costs”), plus (B) 2% of the amount of such costs. 

(b) If the Minimum Aggregate Fresh Water Volume for any calendar quarter exceeds the actual aggregate volume of Fresh Water measured at the
Fresh Water Measurement Points during such calendar quarter (such excess, the “Aggregate Shortfall Volume”), then (1) the Aggregate Shortfall Volume for such calendar quarter shall be allocated to each Well having a Well
Shortfall Volume for such calendar quarter pro rata based on the volumes of Fresh Water measured at the applicable Fresh Water Measurement Point and Produced Water measured at the applicable Produced Water Delivery Point and, in each case, delivered
to each such Well as Frac Water and (2) the aggregate Delivery Fee payable for such calendar quarter shall be recalculated, treating the Aggregate Shortfall Volume as allocated to each such Well for purposes of such recalculation as Fresh Water
subject to the Delivery Fee. For an example calculation, see Exhibit E. The excess of the amount of the Delivery Fee for such calendar quarter as so recalculated over the amount of the Delivery Fee otherwise payable for such calendar quarter
shall be included in Service Provider’s invoice for the last Month of such calendar quarter and shall be paid by Producer to Service Provider. The following terms used in this Section 6.1(b) have the following meanings: 

(i) “Minimum Aggregate Fresh Water Volume” for any calendar quarter means 70% of the sum of
(i) the aggregate volumes of Fresh Water measured at the Fresh Water Measurement Points during such calendar quarter plus (ii) the aggregate volumes of Produced Water measured at the Produced Water Measurement Points during such calendar
quarter. 
 (ii) “Minimum Fresh Water Volume” means, with respect to any Well and any calendar
quarter, 70% of the sum of (i) the volumes of Fresh Water measured at the applicable Fresh Water Measurement Point during such calendar quarter and delivered as Frac Water to such Well plus (ii) the aggregate volumes of Produced Water
measured at the applicable Produced Water Measurement Point and delivered as Frac Water to such Well during such calendar quarter. 

(iii) “Well Shortfall Volume” means with respect to any calendar quarter the excess of the Minimum
Fresh Water Volume for such Well over the actual volume of Fresh Water measured at the applicable Fresh Water Measurement Point and delivered as Frac Water to such Well. 

(c) The Delivery Fee and the Supplemental Water Fee shall be adjusted up on an annual basis in proportion to the percentage change, from the
preceding year, in the All Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the U.S. City Average, 1982-84 = 100, as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (“CPI”). Such
adjustment shall be made effective upon the first Day of each Contract Year commencing 

  
 19 

 
in the Contract Year beginning in 2016, and shall reflect the percentage change in the CPI as it existed for June of the preceding Contract Year from the CPI for the second immediately preceding
June; provided, however, that the Delivery Fee and the Supplemental Water Fee shall never be less than the initial fees stated in Section 6.1(a) and such fees shall not be increased by more than 4% in any given Contract Year. 

(d) Service Provider shall have the right to pass through to Producer and its other customers, on a pro rata basis based on aggregate Monthly
Fresh Water deliveries through the relevant facilities, any heating costs incurred by Service Provider to prevent pipeline freezing. 

ARTICLE 7

 DELIVERY RATES 

Section 8.1 Delivery Rates. The Fresh Water System, including the Impoundment Facilities, will be designed to permit Fresh
Water to be made available at the points on interconnection with the High-Rate Transfer Facilities at a minimum flow rate of 60 Barrels per minute, assuming that Fresh Water will be made available for hydraulic fracturing operations on only one Well
per trunkline at any given time (the “Minimum Flow Rate”). 
 Section 8.2 Producer Facilities.
Producer, at its own expense, directly or through subcontractors, shall construct, equip, maintain, and operate all facilities necessary to receive Frac Water at the Frac Water Delivery Points at the required rates of flow. 

ARTICLE 9 
 NOMINATION

 Section 9.1 Fresh Water Delivery Nominations. Producer shall regularly communicate to Service Provider the dates
on which Producer plans to carry out hydraulic fracturing operations on each Well Pad and shall by notice to Service Provider not less than five Business Days in advance specify the dates on which Service Provider is to commence deliveries of Fresh
Water at the Frac Water Delivery Points at such Well Pad. 
 Section 9.2 Changes in Fresh Water Delivery Rates. If
Producer desires that Service Provider make Frac Water available on any Day at the Frac Water Delivery Point on any Well Pad at flow rates greater than or less than the Frac Water delivery rate specified for such Well Pad in the Connection Notice
for such Well Pad, Producer may, on not less than 5 Business Days’ notice to Service Provider, increase or decrease the Frac Water delivery rate for such Well Pad.

 ARTICLE 10 

MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES 

Section 10.1 Equipment. Service Provider shall install, own, operate, and maintain Measurement Facilities to measure the
volumes of Fresh Water made available on each Day at each Fresh Water Measurement Point and the volumes of Produced Water delivered by truck on each Day at each Produced Water Measurement Point for mixing with Fresh Water in the High-Rate Transfer
Facilities. Producer shall have the right to install check Measurement Facilities at each Measurement Point. The changing and integration of the charts (if utilized for measurement purposes hereunder) and calibrating and adjusting of Service
Provider’s Measurement Facilities at each Measurement Point shall be performed by Service Provider. 
 Section 10.2
Notice of Measurement Facilities Inspection and Calibration. Each Party shall give reasonable notice to the other Party in order that the other Party may, at its option, have representatives present to observe any reading, inspecting,
testing, calibrating or adjusting of Measurement Facilities or other facilities or equipment used in measuring or checking the measurement of volumes of Fresh Water or Produced Water under this Agreement (including Producer’s or its hydraulic
fracturing contractor’s equipment collecting data regarding Fresh Water volumes delivered hereunder). The official electronic data from such Measurement Facilities or other facilities or equipment shall remain the property of the owner thereof,
but copies of such records shall, upon request, be submitted, together with calculations and flow computer configurations therefrom, to the requesting Party for inspection and verification. 

Section 10.3 Measurement Accuracy Verification. 

(a) Each Party shall verify the accuracy of all Measurement Facilities or other equipment or facilities used in measuring or checking the
measurement of volumes of Fresh Water or Produced Water under this Agreement owned by such Party no less frequently than twice per year, unless a special test is requested pursuant to Section 10.4. 

(b) If, during any test of such Measuring Facilities, an adjustment or calibration error is found which results in an incremental adjustment to
the calculated flow rate through each meter run in excess of two percent (2%) of the adjusted flow rate (whether positive or negative and using the adjusted flow rate as the percent error equation denominator), then any previous recordings of
such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period during which the error existed (and which is either known definitely or agreed to by the Parties) and the total flow for the period redetermined in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.5. If the period of error condition cannot be determined or agreed upon between the Parties, such correction shall be made over a period extending over the last one half of the time elapsed since the date of the prior test
revealing the two percent (2%) error. 
 (c) If, during any test of any Measurement Facilities, an adjustment or calibration error is
found which results in an incremental adjustment to the calculated hourly flow rate which does not exceed two percent (2%) of the adjusted flow rate, all prior recordings and electronic flow computer data shall be considered to be accurate for
volume determination purpose. 

  
 22 

 Section 10.4 Special Tests. In the event a Party desires a special test (a
test not scheduled by a Party under the provisions of Section 10.3) of any Measurement Facilities used in measuring or checking the measurement of volumes of Fresh Water or Produced Water under this Agreement, seventy-two (72) hours
advance notice shall be given to the other Party and both Parties shall cooperate to secure a prompt test of the accuracy of such equipment. If the Measurement Facilities tested are found to be within the range of accuracy set forth in
Section 10.3(b), then the Party that requested the test shall pay the costs of such special test including any labor and transportation costs pertaining thereto. If the Measurement Facilities tested are found to be outside the range of
accuracy set forth in Section 10.3(b), then the Party that owns such Measurement Facilities shall pay such costs and perform the corrections according to Section 10.5. 

Section 10.5 Metered Flow Rates in Error. If, for any reason, any Measurement Facilities used in measuring or checking the
measurement of volumes of Fresh Water or Produced Water under this Agreement are (i) out of adjustment, (ii) out of service, or (iii) out of repair and the total calculated flow rate through each meter run is found to be in error in
excess of two percent (2%) of the adjusted flow rate as described in Section 10.3, the total volumes of Fresh Water or Produced Water, as applicable, made available shall be determined in accordance with the first of the following
methods which is feasible: 
 (a) By using the registration of any mutually agreeable check metering facility, if installed and accurately
registering (subject to testing as provided for in Section 10.3); 
 (b) Where multiple meter runs exist in series, by
calculation using the registration of such meter run equipment; provided that they are measuring Fresh Water or Produced Water, as applicable, in common with the faulty metering equipment, are not controlled by separate regulators, and are
accurately registering; 
 (c) By correcting the error by re-reading of the official data, or by straightforward application of a correcting
factor to the volumes recorded for the period (if the net percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, tests or mathematical calculation); or 

(d) By estimating the volumes, based upon volumes made available during periods of similar conditions when the meter was registering
accurately. 
 Section 10.6 Record Retention. The Party owning the Measurement Facilities shall retain and preserve all
test data, flow metering data, and similar records for any calendar year for a period of at least twenty-four (24) Months following the end of such calendar year unless Applicable Law requires a longer time period or the Party has received
written notification of a dispute involving such records, in which case records shall be retained until the related issue is resolved.

the Party claiming relief has not applied for or assisted in the application for, and has opposed where and to the extent reasonable, such action or restraint, and as long as such action or restraint is not the result of a failure by the claiming
Party to comply with any Applicable Law). 
 Section 13.3 Settlement of Strikes and Lockouts. It is understood and agreed
that the settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party affected thereby, and that the above requirement that any Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement
of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of the opposing party when such course is inadvisable in the sole discretion of the Party having the difficulty. 

Section 13.4 Payments for Fresh Water Made Available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is specifically understood and
agreed by the Parties that an event of Force Majeure will in no way affect or terminate Producer’s obligation to make payment for Services performed.

RICE GUARANTY 

This Parent Guaranty (this “Agreement”) dated as of November 4, 2015 is made by Rice Energy Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of each of Rice Water Services (OH) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Rice OH”), and Rice Water Services (PA) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Rice PA” and, together with Rice OH, each a “Beneficiary” and together the “Beneficiaries”), as set forth below. The Guarantor and the Beneficiaries are sometimes referred to
together herein as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party.” 
 INTRODUCTION

 WHEREAS, this Agreement is being executed and delivered in connection with that certain (i) Amended & Restated Water
Services Agreement, by and between Rice Drilling D LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Drilling D”), and Rice OH, dated as of November 4, 2015 (the “Rice OH Agreement”); and
(ii) Amended & Restated Water Services Agreement, by and between Rice Drilling B LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Drilling B”), and Rice PA, dated as of November 4, 2015 (the “Rice PA
Agreement” and, together with the Rice OH Agreement, the “Water Services Agreements” and each a “Water Services Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each of Drilling B and Drilling D is a subsidiary of the Guarantor, and the Guarantor acknowledges that
(a) it will substantially benefit from the Water Services Agreements and (b) this Agreement is necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business of each of Drilling B and Drilling D; 

WHEREAS, (i) to induce Rice OH to enter into the Rice OH Agreement, Rice OH desires that the Guarantor guarantee the performance of
Drilling D under the Rice OH Agreement and (ii) to induce Rice PA to enter into the Rice PA Agreement, Rice PA desires that the Guarantor guarantee the performance of Drilling B under the Rice PA Agreement, each upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein; and 
 WHEREAS, the Guarantor desires to guarantee the performance of (i) Drilling D under the Rice OH Agreement and
(ii) Drilling B under the Rice PA Agreement, each upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 AGREEMENT 

For and in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the Guarantor hereby stipulates and agrees as follows: 
 1. The Guaranty. 

(a) Subject to the last sentence of Section 1(c), the Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally
guarantees to Rice OH the full and timely performance and discharge (including the payment of money) by Drilling D of all 

  
 Exhibit D – Page 1

 
obligations and liabilities of Drilling D now existing or hereafter arising under the Rice OH Agreement (the “Drilling D Guaranteed Obligations”) and hereby agrees that if
Drilling D shall fail to (i) pay any amount when and as the same shall be due and payable by Drilling D to or for the benefit of Rice OH or any subsidiary thereof or (ii) timely perform and discharge in full any other obligation or
liability in accordance with the terms of the Rice OH Agreement, the Guarantor shall forthwith pay to or for the benefit of Rice OH or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, such amount or perform and discharge, or cause to be performed and
discharged, any such obligation or liability, as the case may be, as such payment or performance and discharge is required to be made or done by Drilling D pursuant to the terms thereof. 

(b) Subject to the last sentence of Section 1(c), the Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally
guarantees to Rice PA the full and timely performance and discharge (including the payment of money) by Drilling B of all obligations and liabilities of Drilling B now existing or hereafter arising under the Rice PA Agreement (the
“Drilling B Guaranteed Obligations” and, together with the Drilling D Guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) and hereby agrees that if Drilling B shall fail to (i) pay any amount
when and as the same shall be due and payable by Drilling B to or for the benefit of Rice PA or any subsidiary thereof or (ii) timely perform and discharge in full any other obligation or liability in accordance with the terms of the Rice PA
Agreement, the Guarantor shall forthwith pay to or for the benefit of Rice PA or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, such amount or perform and discharge, or cause to be performed and discharged, any such obligation or liability, as the case may
be, as such payment or performance and discharge is required to be made or done by Drilling B pursuant to the terms thereof. 

(c) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the guarantees set forth in Sections (1)(a)
and (1)(b) is an absolute, present and continuing guarantee of payment and of performance of obligations and not of collectibility and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from Drilling B or Drilling D, as
applicable, or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. It shall not be necessary for any Beneficiary in order to enforce such payment or performance by the Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against
Drilling B or Drilling D, as applicable, the Guarantor or any other person or entity liable with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations. 

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, as to any Guaranteed Obligation which the Guarantor is
called upon to pay, perform, or discharge, Guarantor reserves to itself the right to assert any and all claims, counterclaims, defenses, setoffs and other rights to the same extent that Drilling D or Drilling B, as applicable, could assert any such
claim, counterclaim, defense, setoff or other right against the applicable Beneficiary with respect to such Guaranteed Obligation, except for those arising out of any of the events described in Section 2(d) hereof. 

2. Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Guarantor with respect to each Beneficiary hereunder shall be absolute,
continuing and unconditional and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by any of the following: 
  

  
 Exhibit D – Page 2

 (a) any amendment to, modification of, or supplement to the applicable Water
Services Agreement or any assignment or transfer of any rights or obligations thereunder; 
 (b) any extension of the time
for the payment of all or any portion of any sums payable under the applicable Water Services Agreement or the extension of time for the performance of any obligations under, arising out of or in connection with the applicable Water Services
Agreement; 
 (c) any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of the applicable Beneficiary or any other
person or entity to enforce, assert or exercise, or any waiver of, any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred on such Beneficiary or any other person or entity by the applicable Water Services Agreement, or any action on the part of such
Beneficiary or such other person or entity granting indulgence or extension of any kind; 
 (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
readjustment, composition, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding or any other defense that may arise in connection with any such proceeding with respect to Drilling B, Drilling D, the Guarantor or any other person or entity; 

(e) any change in the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure, existence or ownership of Drilling B (as
applicable), Drilling D (as applicable), the Guarantor (as applicable), Rice OH (as applicable) or Rice PA (as applicable), or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Drilling B (as applicable), Drilling D (as applicable), the
Guarantor (as applicable), Rice OH (as applicable) or Rice PA (as applicable) to any person or entity; 
 (f) any failure on
the part of, as applicable, Drilling B or Drilling D for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with the Guarantor; 

(g) any law, regulation or order hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of the rights under or terms of the
applicable Water Services Agreement; or 
 (h) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of the Guarantor. 
 3. Waiver. With respect to each Beneficiary, the Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law: (a) notice of acceptance hereof, of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon, of demand, and of any defaults by, as applicable, Drilling B or Drilling D in the payment or performance of the applicable Guaranteed
Obligations, and of any of the matters referred to in Section 2; (b) all notices that may otherwise be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any of the rights of such Beneficiary against the Guarantor, including
presentment to or demand for payment from Drilling B (as applicable), Drilling D (as applicable) or the Guarantor, or notice to, as applicable, Drilling B or Drilling D of claims with a court in the event of the bankruptcy of, as applicable,
Drilling B or Drilling D; (c) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise by such Beneficiary of any right, power or remedy conferred in this Agreement or the applicable Water Services Agreement; (d) any requirement of

  
 Exhibit D – Page 3

 
diligence on the part of such Beneficiary; and (e) any other act or omission (including any delay by such Beneficiary or any other person or entity in the taking of any action) that might in
any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or that might otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor. 
 4.
Reinstatement of Guaranty. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent at any time any payment, in whole or in part, made by any of Drilling B, Drilling D or the Guarantor to any
Beneficiary in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by such Beneficiary upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of such entity, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to any such entity or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, in such event, the Guarantor shall pay such Beneficiary an amount equal to the payment that has been rescinded or returned. No Beneficiary shall be required to litigate or otherwise dispute its obligation to make such repayments if
it in good faith believes that such obligation exists. 
 5. Subrogation. The Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert or
enforce any right of contribution, reimbursement, indemnity, subrogation or any other right to payment from Drilling B or Drilling D as a result of the Guarantor’s performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any other claim
Guarantor may have against either Drilling B or Drilling D until all Guaranteed Obligations are performed or paid in full. 
 6.
Representations. The Guarantor represents, as of the date hereof, as follows: 
 (a) the Guarantor has received, or
will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Agreement and the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (b) the
Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed, the books and records regarding the financial condition of both Drilling B and Drilling D and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, but the Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition, the collateral or the agreement of any other party to become a surety as an inducement to enter into this Agreement; 

(c) except to the extent contained in the Water Services Agreements, neither Beneficiary nor any other party has made any
representation, warranty or statement to the Guarantor in order to induce the Guarantor to execute this Agreement; 
 (d) as
of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Agreement and the contingent obligation evidenced hereby, the Guarantor is, and will be, solvent, and has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities and debts,
and has and will have property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities; 

  
 Exhibit D – Page 4

 (e) neither execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the
transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, will contravene any provision of applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or any judgment, decree, franchise, order or permit applicable to the Guarantor or
will conflict or be inconsistent with, or will result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, security interest, charge or
encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which the Guarantor may be bound; and 

(f) there are no unsatisfied judgments against the Guarantor and no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against

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

  
 Exhibit D – Page 5

 
the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law will be deemed to refer to such statute or law, as amended, and also to refer to all rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Any reference to a Party will also include such Party’s permitted successors and assigns. The words “including,” “includes,” and
“include” will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, will include all other genders; the singular will

9. Severability. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory provision of
applicable laws, the applicable provision of applicable law will control. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement
and the application of that provision to other persons or circumstances will not be affected thereby and that provision will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by applicable laws. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to replace any
such invalid provision with a valid provision having similar effect. 
 10. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement is
intended by the Parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions,
promises, representations, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein in respect of the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with
respect to such subject matter, whether verbal or written. Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by the Guarantor, Rice OH
or Rice PA from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective (i) only if it is made or given in writing and signed by the Parties, in the case of an amendment, supplement or modification, and by the Party granting the waiver
or consent in the case of a waiver or consent, and (ii) only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. 

11. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and all guarantees, covenants and agreements of the Guarantor contained herein shall continue in
full force and effect and shall not be discharged until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have terminated or expired, or shall be indefeasibly paid or otherwise performed and discharged in full. 

12. Governing law; Jurisdiction. 

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania without regard to choice of law principles. 
 (b) The Parties agree that the appropriate, exclusive and
convenient forum for any disputes between the Parties arising out of this Agreement or the transactions 

  
 Exhibit D – Page 6

 
contemplated hereby shall be in any state or federal court in the City and County of Washington, Pennsylvania, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts
solely in respect of any proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement. The Parties further agree that the Parties shall not bring suit with respect to any disputes arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in
any court or jurisdiction other than the above specified courts. 
 13. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or other
proceedings to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. 

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when executed, will be deemed an original,
and all of which will constitute but one and the same instrument.

and other major physical facilities, together with their locations, sizes and other physical specifications, operating parameters, capacities, and other relevant specifications, and together with
a schedule for completing the construction and installation of the planned portions thereof, in each case as currently in existence, under construction, or planned, together with information about the High Rate Transfer Facilities, including the
number and capacity of ASTs and high rate transfer pumps, that will be utilized to perform the High-Rate Transfer Services at each Well Pad (such plan, as updated as hereinafter provided, the “Fresh Water Facilities Plan”).
Based on the Development Plans and such other information about the expected development of the Service Area Properties as shall be provided to Service Provider by or on behalf of Producer, Service Provider shall periodically update the Fresh Water
Facilities Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Service Provider shall ensure that the Fresh Water Facilities Plan reflects all Required Connection Wells included in each Monthly Development Plan not later than 30 Days after such
Development Plan is delivered to Service Provider. Service Provider shall make the Fresh Water Facilities Plan available for inspection by Producer and its representatives from time to time and shall make representatives of Service Provider
available to discuss the Fresh Water Facilities Plan from time to time with Producer and its representatives. Service Provider shall provide Producer updates not less frequently than Monthly on the progress of work on all facilities necessary to
connect the Fresh Water System to the Well Pads on which the Required Connection Wells are or are to be located as set forth in the then-current Fresh Water Facilities Plan. 

(c) The Parties recognize that the plans for the development of the Service Area Properties set forth in each Development Plan, as well as all
information provided by Producer to Service Provider regarding its intentions with respect to the development of the Service Area Properties, are subject to change and revision at any time at the discretion of Producer, and that such changes may
impact the timing, configuration, and scope of the planned activities of Service Provider. The exchange of such information and any changes thereto shall not give rise to any rights or liabilities as between the Parties except as expressly set forth
in this Agreement, and Service Provider shall determine at its own risk the time at which it begins to work on and incur costs in connection with projects to expand the Fresh Water System and its other facilities and capacities, including the
acquisition of rights of way, equipment, and materials. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Producer has no obligation to Service Provider under this Agreement to develop or produce any Hydrocarbons from the Service Area Properties or
to pursue or complete any drilling or development on the Service Area Properties, whether or not envisioned in the Development Plan. 

Section 3.6 Expansion of Fresh Water System; Connection of Well Pads. 

(a) The Service Provider shall design and develop the Fresh Water System at least to the capacity of the Minimum Flow Rate for the purpose of
providing Fresh Water Services as and when needed for hydraulic fracturing operations on the Required Connection Wells, and Service Provider shall be obligated, at its sole cost and expense, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to plan,
procure, construct, install, own, and operate the Fresh Water System so as to timely extend the Fresh Water System to all Wells Pads on which Required Connection Wells are located and timely deliver such quantities of Fresh Water to the Wells Pads
so as to permit Service Provider to commence providing the full scope of Services with respect to all the Required Connection Wells in accordance with this Section 3.6; provided, that the foregoing shall not preclude Service
Provider from also designing and developing the Fresh Water System to provide services to third parties. 

  
 11 

 (b) Producer shall from time to time give notice, in the form of Exhibit A hereto (or in
such form as the Parties shall otherwise agree from time to time), to Service Provider of each Planned Well that Producer intends to drill and complete in the Service Area (a “Connection Notice”). Each Connection Notice shall
set forth the target commencement date for starting the hydraulic fracturing of such Well (the “Target Commencement Date”). 

(c) On or before the 30th Day after delivery of a Connection Notice for a Planned Well, Service Provider shall, by notice to Producer,
(i) (A) acknowledge that the Planned Well covered by such Connection Notice is a Required Connection Well and provide anticipated aggregate Take Point flow rate availability or (B) acknowledge that such Planned Well is not a Required
Connection Well but nonetheless commit to extend the Fresh Water System to the Well Pad on which such Planned Well is or will be located and, in each case, make Fresh Water available for such Planned Well for the Delivery Fee defined in
Section 6.1(a), and provide anticipated aggregate Take Point flow rate availability, or (ii) state that it has determined that such Planned Well is not a Required Connection Well or that, whereas such Planned Well is within the Two
Mile Perimeter and/or was included in the Initial Development Plan, making Fresh Water available for such Planned Well is not commercially economical, as solely determined by Service Provider, and in either case state the Delivery Fee that it would
charge for extending the Fresh Water System to the Well Pad on which such Planned Well is located and making Fresh Water available for such Planned Well. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Service Provider does not control the availability of
Fresh Water at each Take Point and Service Provider’s written notice in response to each Connection Notice shall be subject to change due to fluctuations of Fresh Water availability at any Take Point. Service Provider shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to minimize such fluctuations at any Take Point and shall promptly provide written notice to Producer of any material change in anticipated aggregate Take Point flow rate based on Service Provider’s prior notice to Producer.

 (d) If Service Provider delivers the notice referred to in Section 3.6(c)(i)(A) with respect to a Connection Notice for a
Planned Well, such Planned Well shall be deemed a Required Connection Well. If Service Provider delivers the notice referred to in Section 3.6(c)(i)(B) with respect to a Connection Notice for a Planned Well, Producer may, by notice to
Service Provider, accept Service Provider’s proposed Delivery Fee, in which case such Planned Well shall be deemed a Required Connection Well from and after the date of Producer’s notice, and the Delivery Fee proposed in Service
Provider’s notice shall be charged for Fresh Water made available at the Frac Water Delivery Point at the Well Pad on which such Planned Well is located. 

(e) If Service Provider delivers the notice referred to in Section 3.6(c)(ii) with respect to a Connection Notice for a Planned
Well, and if Producer desires to have the Fresh Water System extended to the Well Pad on which such Planned Well is located but does not agree to the proposed Delivery Fee stated in such notice, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period
not to exceed 30 Days from the date of such notice and use reasonable efforts to reach agreement on a Delivery Fee that would be applicable to Fresh Water made available for such Planned Well. If the Parties agree in writing on such Delivery Fee,
such Planned Well shall 

  
 12 

 
be deemed a Required Connection Well from and after the date of such agreement, and the Delivery Fee agreed by the Parties shall be charged for Fresh Water made available at the Frac Water
Delivery Point at the Well Pad on which such Planned Well is located. If the Parties do not reach agreement within such 30-day period, Producer may, at its option by notice to Service Provider, (i) withdraw the Connection Notice with respect to
such Planned Well, in which case Producer may source Fresh Water for hydraulic fracturing operations on such Planned Well from such source as Producer may determine, or (ii) agree to pay the incremental costs incurred by Service Provider to
extend the Fresh Water System to the Well Pad on which such Planned Well is located above the costs that would be incurred by Service Provider to extend the Fresh Water System to such Well Pad if it were located at the point on the Two Mile
Perimeter, as of the date of the Connection Notice for such Planned Well, that is nearest such Well Pad, in which case such Planned Well shall become a Required Connection Well from and after the date of Producer’s notice, and the Delivery Fee
defined in Section 6.1(a) shall apply to Fresh Water made available for such Planned Well. 
 (f) Service Provider shall cause
the necessary facilities to be constructed to extend the Fresh Water System to the Well Pad on which each Required Connection Well is located and to make Fresh Water available for such Required Connection Well. Such facilities shall be available to
make Fresh Water available to such Required Connection Well as soon as reasonably practicable following the Connection Notice with respect to such Well and in any event on or before the later to occur of (1) the Target Commencement Date with
respect to such Well, (2) the date that is 365 Days after the Connection Notice for such Well, and (3) the date on which such Well is ready for hydraulic fracturing (the later of such dates, with respect to such Well, the
“Completion Deadline”). Service Provider shall provide Producer notice promptly upon Service Provider’s becoming aware of any reason to believe that it may not be able to complete the extension of the Fresh Water System
to the Well Pad on which a Required Connection Well is located by the Target Commencement Date therefor or to otherwise complete all facilities necessary to make Fresh Water available for such Well by the Target Commencement Date therefor. If and to
the extent Service Provider is delayed in completing and making available such facilities by a Force Majeure event or any action of Producer that is inconsistent with the cooperation requirements of Section 3.9, then the Completion
Deadline for such connection shall be extended for a period of time equal to that during which Service Provider’s completion and making available of such facilities was delayed by such events or actions. If such facilities are not completed and
made available by the Completion Deadline, as Producer’s sole and exclusive remedies for such delay, 
 (i) Producer
may, until such time as the Fresh Water System is extended to such Well Pad and Fresh Water can be made available from the Fresh Water System to such Well, source Fresh Water for hydraulic fracturing operations at such Well from such source as it
may determine; and 
 (ii) Producer shall have the right to complete the procurement, construction and/or installation of any
rights or facilities necessary to extend the Fresh Water System to such Well Pad and/or to permit Fresh Water from the Fresh Water System to be made available at the Frac Water Delivery Point at such Well Pad, in which case Service Provider shall
pay to Producer an amount equal to 115% of all reasonable actual and verifiable costs and expenses incurred by Producer in so procuring, 

  
 13 

 
constructing, and/or installing such rights and facilities, and Producer shall convey all such rights and facilities to Service Provider and such rights and facilities shall thereafter be part of
the Fresh Water System. 
 The remedies set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be applicable to Wells with Completion Deadlines that are on
or after December 22, 2015. 
 (g) Producer has previously delivered a Connection Notice to Service Provider with respect to the
Required Connection Wells set forth on Exhibit C. Such Connection Notice shall be deemed to have been given for each such Required Connection Well 365 Days prior to the Target Commencement Date specified for such Well in such notice. 

Section 3.7 Installation and Operation of High-Rate Transfer Facilities. 

(a) Service Provider shall be obligated, directly or through subcontractors, to engineer, procure, transport to the Well Pad or other
applicable site, and erect or install on the Well Pad or on such site on or prior to the Completion Deadline all necessary High-Rate Transfer Facilities to enable Fresh Water to be transferred from the Fresh Water System, such Fresh Water to be
mixed with Produced Water in accordance with Producer’s instructions, and to transfer Frac Water through the High-Rate Transfer Facilities to the Frac Water Delivery Points. Service Provider shall ensure that all such High-Rate Transfer
Facilities remain on the Well Pad or on such site and be available to perform the High-Rate Transfer Services at all times during which Producer has notified Service Provider in accordance with Section 9.1 that hydraulic fracturing
operations will be carried out on such Well Pad until such time as Producer has advised Service Provider that all hydraulic fracturing operations have been completed on all Planned Wells at such Well Pad. Service Provider shall have the right to
remove and re-install or re-erect such High Rate Transfer Facilities from time to time as long as no delay or disruption in Producer’s hydraulic fracturing operations results therefrom. 

(b) Producer shall provide sufficient space on the Well Pad for all necessary High-Rate Transfer Facilities other than ASTs to be located on
such Well Pad. Producer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide sufficient space on the Well Pad, or if sufficient space on such Well Pad is not available, on the nearest reasonably available site, in any event, within one mile of the
Well Pad, for the erection and installation of all ASTs required by Service Provider for the performance of the High-Rate Transfer Services on such Well Pad, together with rights of access to such site from a public road and easements or rights of
way over which Service Provider may run hoses and temporary Fresh Water lines to the Well Pad. If Producer, through the use of commercially reasonable efforts, has been unable, by the date that is at least 180 days prior to the Target Commencement
Date for such Well Pad, to obtain such a site and such rights of access and easements, Producer shall promptly notify Service Provider, and Service Provider shall be responsible for obtaining such site and the related access rights and easements.

 (c) Service Provider shall be responsible for the operation, maintenance, repair, and removal of all High-Rate Transfer Facilities,
including the operation of the applicable ASTs, ensuring that such ASTs and other High-Rate Transfer Facilities are operating properly and that the Fresh Water is transferred from such ASTs at proper flow rates (such that such ASTs do not overflow),
and necessary coordination with Producer’s and its hydraulic fracturing contractors’ personnel. 

  
 14 

 (d) If Service Provider fails to perform its obligations to timely engineer, procure, transport,
erect, and install the High-Rate Transfer Facilities by the Completion Date or fails to ensure that such High-Rate Transfer Facilities remain on the Well Pad or other applicable site in each case in accordance with Section 3.7(a) or
fails to perform the High-Rate Transfer Services in connection with the hydraulic fracturing of Wells on a Well Pad in accordance with Section 3.1(d), then, as Producer’s sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, Producer shall
have the right to complete the engineering, procurement, transportation, erection and/or installation (including through one or more subcontractors) of replacement facilities and/or to carry out such activities itself (including through one or more
subcontractors), in which case Service Provider shall pay, within 30 days after presentment of an invoice therefor, to Producer an amount equal to 115% of all reasonable, actual and verifiable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Producer in
so engineering, procuring, transporting, erecting, and installing such facilities and carrying out such activities, and upon receipt of payment by Producer therefor, Producer shall convey all such rights (including rights under third party
contracts) and facilities owned or under the control of Producer to Service Provider (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any applicable consents triggered by such assignment). 

Section 3.8 Right of Way and Access. Service Provider is responsible for the acquisition of rights of way, crossing
permits, licenses, use agreements, access agreements, leases, fee parcels, and other rights in land necessary to construct, own, and operate the Fresh Water System, and all such rights in land shall be solely for use by Service Provider and shall
not be shared with Producer, except as otherwise agreed by Service Provider; provided that Producer agrees to grant and/or to cause each Rice Entity to grant, without warranty of title, either express or implied, to the extent that it has the right
to do so without the incurrence of material expense, an easement and right of way upon all lands covered by the Service Area Properties, for the purpose of installing, using, maintaining, servicing, inspecting, repairing, operating, replacing,
disconnecting, and removing all or any portion of the Fresh Water System, including all pipelines, meters, and other equipment necessary for the performance of this Agreement; provided, further, that the exercise of these rights by Service Provider
shall not unreasonably interfere with Producer’s or such Rice Entity’s lease operations or with the rights of owners in fee, and will be subject to Producer’s safety and other reasonable access requirements applicable to
Producer’s personnel. Neither Producer nor such Rice Entity shall have a duty to maintain the underlying agreements (such as leases, easements, and surface use agreements) that such grant of easement or right of way to Service Provider is based
upon, and such grants of easement or right of way will terminate if Producer or such Rice Entity, as applicable, loses its rights to the property, regardless of the reason for such loss of rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Producer
will assist Service Provider to secure replacements for such terminated grants of easement or right of way, in a manner consistent with the cooperation requirements of Section 3.9, (ii) to the extent that Producer agrees that
Service Provider’s Measurement Facilities may be located on Producer’s Well Pad sites, Producer shall be responsible for obtaining any necessary rights to locate such Measurement Facilities on such Well Pad sites, and (iii) Producer
shall use reasonable efforts to involve Service Provider in Producer’s negotiations with the owners of lands covered by the Service Area Properties so that Producer’s surface use agreements and Service Provider’s rights of way with
respect to such lands can be concurrently negotiated and obtained. 

  
 15 

 Section 3.9 Cooperation. Because of the interrelated nature of the actions of
the Parties required to obtain the necessary Governmental Approvals from the appropriate Governmental Authorities and the necessary consents, rights of way and other authorizations from other Persons necessary to drill and complete each Planned Well
and construct the required extensions of the Fresh Water System to each Well Pad, the Parties agree to work together in good faith to obtain such Governmental Approvals, authorizations, consents and rights of way as expeditiously as reasonably
practicable, all as provided herein. The Parties further agree to cooperate with each other and to communicate regularly regarding their efforts to obtain such Governmental Approvals, authorizations, consents and rights of way.

and approved by Producer (each such facility, a “Designated Receiving Facility”). If Producer approves a facility as a Designated Receiving Facility, it shall have the
right, at any time upon notice to Service Provider, to withdraw such approval, and such facility shall cease to be a Designated Receiving Facility effective upon the 60th Day after such notice;
provided, however, that Producer shall reimburse Service Provider for all costs reasonably incurred by Service Provider in order to utilize such facility as a Designated Receiving Facility and shall indemnify Service Provider and its Affiliates for
any contractual liability incurred by Service Provider to a third party as a result of its not being able to utilize such facility as a Designated Receiving Facility. 

(b) Producer shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to visit and observe operations at each Designated Receiving Facility
operated by Service Provider, in each case during normal business hours, on reasonable notice, and subject to such reasonable safety procedures as shall be reasonably required by Service Provider. Such visits and observations shall be carried out in
a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with operations at such Designated Receiving Facility. Service Provider shall use reasonable efforts to afford Producer the opportunity to visit and observe operations at each Designated Receiving
Facility operated by a Service Provider subcontractor and shall at the request of Producer perform such visits and observations and use reasonable efforts to include a representative of Producer among its representatives on any such visit. 

Section 4.4 Non-Conforming Produced Water. If the Produced Water quality at any Produced Water
Receipt Point does not conform to the Produced Water Quality Standards, then Service Provider will have the right to immediately discontinue taking Produced Water at such Produced Water Receipt Point so long as the Produced Water at such Produced
Water Receipt Point continues to be non-conforming. In the event that Service Provider takes receipt of non-conforming Produced Water at any Produced Water Receipt Point, Producer agrees to be responsible for, and to defend, indemnify, release, and
hold Service Provider and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, representatives, and invitees harmless from and against, all claims and losses of whatever kind and nature resulting from such non-conforming Produced
Water, including claims and losses resulting from any negligent acts or omissions of any indemnified party, but excluding claims and losses to the extent caused by or arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified
party. “Produced Water Quality Standards” means, with respect to any Produced Water, that such Produced Water is free from any contamination or any substances that would result in such Produced Water not meeting any
requirements imposed by Applicable Law for transportation by truck or any quality standards of a Designated Receiving Facility. 

Section 4.5 Transportation Services Equipment. Service Provider shall provide, or cause to be provided, all equipment
necessary to perform the Transportation Services. The equipment shall (a) be suitable for the performance of the Transportation Services, (b) comply with the specifications for equipment used for services equivalent to the Transportation
Services as required by Applicable Law, including the regulations of the USDOT, and (c) be maintained in a good, safe, and serviceable condition. Service Provider shall only use subcontractors to perform the Transportation Services that
maintain a USDOT safety rating of “Satisfactory”. 

  
 17 

 Section 4.6 Contract Carrier Status. Producer and Service Provider intend to
rely on their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and, if it would otherwise be applicable, expressly waive any and all rights and remedies under Part B, Subtitle IV of Title 49 of the United States Code that may be waived as
provided in 49 USC § 14101(b)(1). Producer and Service Provider intend that the contractual arrangement documented by this Agreement be that of a contract motor carrier and for the terms and conditions of this Agreement to take precedence
over any terms and conditions which might apply to a shipper and common carrier. Any use of form bills of lading, or other freight documents referring to “common carriers” and/or “tariffs”, shall not alter the contract
relationship created hereunder between the Parties. 
 ARTICLE 5 

TERM 
 Section 5.1
Term. This Agreement, unless terminated earlier by mutual agreement of the Parties, shall continue in effect until December 22, 2029, and from Month to Month thereafter (with the initial term of this Agreement deemed extended for
each of any such additional Month) until such time as this Agreement is terminated, by notice from either Party to the other Party, effective on the last day of the Month specified in such notice, which notice shall be given not less than 30 days
before the effective date of such termination. 
 ARTICLE 6 

FEES AND CONSIDERATION 

Section 6.1 Fees. 

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Producer shall pay Service Provider each Month in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, for all Services provided by Service Provider during such Month, an amount equal to the sum of the following: 

(i) the aggregate volume of Fresh Water stated in Gallons delivered by Service Provider to the Frac Water Delivery Points, as
measured at the Fresh Water Measurement Points, during such Month multiplied by the tiered fee set forth below (as may be otherwise agreed in accordance with Section 3.6(a) or increased or decreased in accordance with
Section 6.1(c), the “Delivery Fee”): 
  

					
	 For volumes up to and including the first 12,500,000 Gallons per Well
	  	$	0.08 per Gallon	  
	 For Volumes above 12,500,000 Gallons up to and including 20,000,000 Gallons per Well
	  	$	0.04 per Gallon	  
	 For volumes above 20,000,000 Gallons per Well
	  	$	0.02 per Gallon	  

 Volumes of supplemental Fresh Water delivered by Producer to Service Provider at an Impoundment Facility or
supplemental Fresh Water delivered by Producer to Service Provider at the Well Pad during such Month as contemplated in Section 3.4 shall not be 

  
 18 

 
subject to the Delivery Fee and shall not be included in the volumes of Fresh Water delivered to a Frac Water Delivery Point and used in hydraulic fracturing operations for purposes of
determining the appropriate Delivery Fee tier. 
 (ii) an amount equal to $0.01 per Gallon of supplemental Fresh Water
delivered by Producer to Service Provider at an Impoundment Facility or Service Provider’s facilities at the applicable Well Pad during such Month as contemplated in Section 3.4 (the “Supplemental Water
Fee”); and 
 (iii) an amount equal to the sum of (A) all third party out-of-pocket costs actually incurred
by Service Provider in performing the Produced Water Services (“Reimbursable Produced Water Services Costs”), plus (B) 2% of the amount of such costs. 

(b) If the Minimum Aggregate Fresh Water Volume for any calendar quarter exceeds the actual aggregate volume of Fresh Water measured at the
Fresh Water Measurement Points during such calendar quarter (such excess, the “Aggregate Shortfall Volume”), then (1) the Aggregate Shortfall Volume for such calendar quarter shall be allocated to each Well having a Well
Shortfall Volume for such calendar quarter pro rata based on the volumes of Fresh Water measured at the applicable Fresh Water Measurement Point and Produced Water measured at the applicable Produced Water Delivery Point and, in each case, delivered
to each such Well as Frac Water and (2) the aggregate Delivery Fee payable for such calendar quarter shall be recalculated, treating the Aggregate Shortfall Volume as allocated to each such Well for purposes of such recalculation as Fresh Water
subject to the Delivery Fee. For an example calculation, see Exhibit F. The excess of the amount of the Delivery Fee for such calendar quarter as so recalculated over the amount of the Delivery Fee otherwise payable for such calendar quarter shall
be included in Service Provider’s invoice for the last Month of such calendar quarter and shall be paid by Producer to Service Provider. The following terms used in this Section 6.1(b) have the following meanings: 

(i) “Minimum Aggregate Fresh Water Volume” for any calendar quarter means 70% of the sum of
(i) the aggregate volumes of Fresh Water measured at the Fresh Water Measurement Points during such calendar quarter plus (ii) the aggregate volumes of Produced Water measured at the Produced Water Measurement Points during such calendar
quarter. 
 (ii) “Minimum Fresh Water Volume” means, with respect to any Well and any calendar
quarter, 70% of the sum of (i) the volumes of Fresh Water measured at the applicable Fresh Water Measurement Point during such calendar quarter and delivered as Frac Water to such Well plus (ii) the aggregate volumes of Produced Water
measured at the applicable Produced Water Measurement Point and delivered as Frac Water to such Well during such calendar quarter. 

(iii) “Well Shortfall Volume” means with respect to any calendar quarter the excess of the Minimum
Fresh Water Volume for such Well over the actual volume of Fresh Water measured at the applicable Fresh Water Measurement Point and delivered as Frac Water to such Well. 

  
 19 

 (c) The Delivery Fee and the Supplemental Water Fee shall be adjusted up on an annual basis in
proportion to the percentage change, from the preceding year, in the All Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the U.S. City Average, 1982-84 = 100, as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics (“CPI”). Such adjustment shall be made effective upon the first Day of each Contract Year commencing in the Contract Year beginning in 2016, and shall reflect the percentage change in the CPI as it existed for June
of the preceding Contract Year from the CPI for the second immediately preceding June; provided, however, that the Delivery Fee and the Supplemental Water Fee shall never be less than the initial fees stated in
Section 6.1(a) and such fees shall not be increased by more than 4% in any given Contract Year. 
 (d) Service Provider shall
have the right to pass through to Producer and its other customers, on a pro rata basis based on aggregate Monthly Fresh Water deliveries through the relevant facilities, any heating costs incurred by Service Provider to prevent pipeline freezing.

Pad. 
 ARTICLE 10 

MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES 

Section 10.1 Equipment. Service Provider shall install, own, operate, and maintain Measurement Facilities to measure the
volumes of Fresh Water made available on each Day at each Fresh Water Measurement Point and the volumes of Produced Water delivered by truck on each Day at each Produced Water Measurement Point for mixing with Fresh Water in the High-Rate Transfer
Facilities. Producer shall have the right to install check Measurement Facilities at each Measurement Point. The changing and integration of the charts (if utilized for measurement purposes hereunder) and calibrating and adjusting of Service
Provider’s Measurement Facilities at each Measurement Point shall be performed by Service Provider. 
 Section 10.2
Notice of Measurement Facilities Inspection and Calibration. Each Party shall give reasonable notice to the other Party in order that the other Party may, at its option, have representatives present to observe any reading, inspecting,
testing, calibrating or adjusting of Measurement Facilities or other facilities or equipment used in measuring or checking the measurement of volumes of Fresh Water or Produced Water under this Agreement (including Producer’s or its hydraulic
fracturing contractor’s equipment collecting data regarding Fresh Water volumes delivered hereunder). The official electronic data from such Measurement Facilities or other facilities or equipment shall remain the property of the owner thereof,
but copies of such records shall, upon request, be submitted, together with calculations and flow computer configurations therefrom, to the requesting Party for inspection and verification. 

Section 10.3 Measurement Accuracy Verification. 

(a) Each Party shall verify the accuracy of all Measurement Facilities or other equipment or facilities used in measuring or checking the
measurement of volumes of Fresh Water or Produced Water under this Agreement owned by such Party no less frequently than twice per year, unless a special test is requested pursuant to Section 10.4. 

(b) If, during any test of such Measuring Facilities, an adjustment or calibration error is found which results in an incremental adjustment
to the calculated flow rate through each meter run in excess of two percent (2%) of the adjusted flow rate (whether positive or negative and using the adjusted flow rate as the percent error equation denominator), then any previous recordings
of such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period during which the error existed (and which is either known definitely or agreed to by the Parties) and the total flow for the period redetermined in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.5. If the period of error condition cannot be determined or agreed upon between the Parties, such correction shall be made over a period extending over the last one half of the time elapsed since the date of the prior test
revealing the two percent (2%) error. 
 (c) If, during any test of any Measurement Facilities, an adjustment or calibration error is
found which results in an incremental adjustment to the calculated hourly 

  
 22 

 
flow rate which does not exceed two percent (2%) of the adjusted flow rate, all prior recordings and electronic flow computer data shall be considered to be accurate for volume determination
purpose. 
 Section 10.4 Special Tests. In the event a Party desires a special test (a test not scheduled by a Party
under the provisions of Section 10.3) of any Measurement Facilities used in measuring or checking the measurement of volumes of Fresh Water or Produced Water under this Agreement, seventy-two (72) hours advance notice shall be given
to the other Party and both Parties shall cooperate to secure a prompt test of the accuracy of such equipment. If the Measurement Facilities tested are found to be within the range of accuracy set forth in Section 10.3(b), then the Party
that requested the test shall pay the costs of such special test including any labor and transportation costs pertaining thereto. If the Measurement Facilities tested are found to be outside the range of accuracy set forth in
Section 10.3(b), then the Party that owns such Measurement Facilities shall pay such costs and perform the corrections according to Section 10.5. 

Section 10.5 Metered Flow Rates in Error. If, for any reason, any Measurement Facilities used in measuring or checking the
measurement of volumes of Fresh Water or Produced Water under this Agreement are (i) out of adjustment, (ii) out of service, or (iii) out of repair and the total calculated flow rate through each meter run is found to be in error in
excess of two percent (2%) of the adjusted flow rate as described in Section 10.3, the total volumes of Fresh Water or Produced Water, as applicable, made available shall be determined in accordance with the first of the following
methods which is feasible: 
 (a) By using the registration of any mutually agreeable check metering facility, if installed and accurately
registering (subject to testing as provided for in Section 10.3); 
 (b) Where multiple meter runs exist in series, by
calculation using the registration of such meter run equipment; provided that they are measuring Fresh Water or Produced Water, as applicable, in common with the faulty metering equipment, are not controlled by separate regulators, and are
accurately registering; 
 (c) By correcting the error by re-reading of the official data, or by straightforward application of a correcting
factor to the volumes recorded for the period (if the net percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, tests or mathematical calculation); or 

(d) By estimating the volumes, based upon volumes made available during periods of similar conditions when the meter was registering
accurately. 
 Section 10.6 Record Retention. The Party owning the Measurement Facilities shall retain and preserve all
test data, flow metering data, and similar records for any calendar year for a period of at least twenty-four (24) Months following the end of such calendar year unless Applicable Law requires a longer time period or the Party has received
written notification of a dispute involving such records, in which case records shall be retained until the related issue is resolved.

ARTICLE 13 
 FORCE
MAJEURE 
 Section 13.1 Suspension of Obligations. In the event a Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by
Force Majeure to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to make payments then or thereafter due hereunder, and such Party promptly gives notice and reasonably full particulars of such Force Majeure in writing to
the other Party promptly after the occurrence of the cause relied on, then the obligations of the Party giving such notice, so far as and to the extent that 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 by the Party claiming Force Majeure. 

Section 13.2 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 relief and which, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, such Party is unable to prevent or overcome, including acts of God, strikes, lockouts or other industrial
disturbances, acts of the public enemy, acts of terror, sabotage, wars, blockades, military action, insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, subsidence, lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms or storm warnings, crevasses, floods, washouts, civil
disturbances, explosions, breakage or accident to wells, machinery, equipment or lines of pipe, the necessity for testing or making repairs or alterations to wells, machinery, equipment or lines of pipe, freezing of wells, equipment or lines of

applied for or assisted in the application for, and has opposed where and to the extent reasonable, such action or restraint, and as long as such action or restraint is not the result of a failure by the claiming Party to comply with any Applicable
Law). 
 Section 13.3 Settlement of Strikes and Lockouts. It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes or
lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party affected thereby, and that the above requirement that any Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding
to the demands of the opposing party when such course is inadvisable in the sole discretion of the Party having the difficulty. 

Section 13.4 Payments for Fresh Water Made Available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is specifically understood and
agreed by the Parties that an event of Force Majeure will in no way affect or terminate Producer’s obligation to make payment for Services performed.

together herein as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party.” 
 INTRODUCTION

 WHEREAS, this Agreement is being executed and delivered in connection with that certain (i) Amended & Restated Water
Services Agreement, by and between Rice Drilling D LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Drilling D”), and Rice OH, dated as of November 4, 2015 (the “Rice OH Agreement”); and
(ii) Amended & Restated Water Services Agreement, by and between Rice Drilling B LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Drilling B”), and Rice PA, dated as of November 4, 2015 (the “Rice PA
Agreement” and, together with the Rice OH Agreement, the “Water Services Agreements” and each a “Water Services Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each of Drilling B and Drilling D is a subsidiary of the Guarantor, and the Guarantor acknowledges that
(a) it will substantially benefit from the Water Services Agreements and (b) this Agreement is necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business of each of Drilling B and Drilling D; 

WHEREAS, (i) to induce Rice OH to enter into the Rice OH Agreement, Rice OH desires that the Guarantor guarantee the performance of
Drilling D under the Rice OH Agreement and (ii) to induce Rice PA to enter into the Rice PA Agreement, Rice PA desires that the Guarantor guarantee the performance of Drilling B under the Rice PA Agreement, each upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein; and 
 WHEREAS, the Guarantor desires to guarantee the performance of (i) Drilling D under the Rice OH Agreement and
(ii) Drilling B under the Rice PA Agreement, each upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 AGREEMENT 

For and in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the Guarantor hereby stipulates and agrees as follows: 
 1. The Guaranty. 

(a) Subject to the last sentence of Section 1(c), the Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally
guarantees to Rice OH the full and timely performance and discharge (including the payment of money) by Drilling D of all 

  
 Exhibit D – Page 1

 
obligations and liabilities of Drilling D now existing or hereafter arising under the Rice OH Agreement (the “Drilling D Guaranteed Obligations”) and hereby agrees that if
Drilling D shall fail to (i) pay any amount when and as the same shall be due and payable by Drilling D to or for the benefit of Rice OH or any subsidiary thereof or (ii) timely perform and discharge in full any other obligation or
liability in accordance with the terms of the Rice OH Agreement, the Guarantor shall forthwith pay to or for the benefit of Rice OH or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, such amount or perform and discharge, or cause to be performed and
discharged, any such obligation or liability, as the case may be, as such payment or performance and discharge is required to be made or done by Drilling D pursuant to the terms thereof. 

(b) Subject to the last sentence of Section 1(c), the Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally
guarantees to Rice PA the full and timely performance and discharge (including the payment of money) by Drilling B of all obligations and liabilities of Drilling B now existing or hereafter arising under the Rice PA Agreement (the
“Drilling B Guaranteed Obligations” and, together with the Drilling D Guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) and hereby agrees that if Drilling B shall fail to (i) pay any amount
when and as the same shall be due and payable by Drilling B to or for the benefit of Rice PA or any subsidiary thereof or (ii) timely perform and discharge in full any other obligation or liability in accordance with the terms of the Rice PA
Agreement, the Guarantor shall forthwith pay to or for the benefit of Rice PA or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, such amount or perform and discharge, or cause to be performed and discharged, any such obligation or liability, as the case may
be, as such payment or performance and discharge is required to be made or done by Drilling B pursuant to the terms thereof. 

(c) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the guarantees set forth in Sections (1)(a)
and (1)(b) is an absolute, present and continuing guarantee of payment and of performance of obligations and not of collectibility and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from Drilling B or Drilling D, as
applicable, or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. It shall not be necessary for any Beneficiary in order to enforce such payment or performance by the Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against
Drilling B or Drilling D, as applicable, the Guarantor or any other person or entity liable with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations. 

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, as to any Guaranteed Obligation which the Guarantor is
called upon to pay, perform, or discharge, Guarantor reserves to itself the right to assert any and all claims, counterclaims, defenses, setoffs and other rights to the same extent that Drilling D or Drilling B, as applicable, could assert any such
claim, counterclaim, defense, setoff or other right against the applicable Beneficiary with respect to such Guaranteed Obligation, except for those arising out of any of the events described in Section 2(d) hereof. 

2. Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Guarantor with respect to each Beneficiary hereunder shall be absolute, continuing and
unconditional and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by any of the following: 
 (a) any amendment to,
modification of, or supplement to the applicable Water Services Agreement or any assignment or transfer of any rights or obligations thereunder; 

  
 Exhibit D – Page 2

 (b) any extension of the time for the payment of all or any portion of any sums
payable under the applicable Water Services Agreement or the extension of time for the performance of any obligations under, arising out of or in connection with the applicable Water Services Agreement; 

(c) any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of the applicable Beneficiary or any other person or entity
to enforce, assert or exercise, or any waiver of, any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred on such Beneficiary or any other person or entity by the applicable Water Services Agreement, or any action on the part of such Beneficiary or such
other person or entity granting indulgence or extension of any kind; 
 (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment,
composition, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding or any other defense that may arise in connection with any such proceeding with respect to Drilling B, Drilling D, the Guarantor or any other person or entity; 

(e) any change in the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure, existence or ownership of Drilling B (as
applicable), Drilling D (as applicable), the Guarantor (as applicable), Rice OH (as applicable) or Rice PA (as applicable), or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Drilling B (as applicable), Drilling D (as applicable), the
Guarantor (as applicable), Rice OH (as applicable) or Rice PA (as applicable) to any person or entity; 
 (f) any failure on
the part of, as applicable, Drilling B or Drilling D for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with the Guarantor; 

(g) any law, regulation or order hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of the rights under or terms of the
applicable Water Services Agreement; or 
 (h) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of the Guarantor. 
 3. Waiver. With respect to each Beneficiary, the Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law: (a) notice of acceptance hereof, of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon, of demand, and of any defaults by, as applicable, Drilling B or Drilling D in the payment or performance of the applicable Guaranteed
Obligations, and of any of the matters referred to in Section 2; (b) all notices that may otherwise be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any of the rights of such Beneficiary against the Guarantor, including
presentment to or demand for payment from Drilling B (as applicable), Drilling D (as applicable) or the Guarantor, or notice to, as applicable, Drilling B or Drilling D of claims with a court in the event of the bankruptcy of, as applicable,
Drilling B or Drilling D; (c) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise by such Beneficiary of any right, power or remedy conferred in this Agreement or the applicable Water Services Agreement; (d) any requirement of

  
 Exhibit D – Page 3

 
diligence on the part of such Beneficiary; and (e) any other act or omission (including any delay by such Beneficiary or any other person or entity in the taking of any action) that might in
any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or that might otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor. 
 4.
Reinstatement of Guaranty. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent at any time any payment, in whole or in part, made by any of Drilling B, Drilling D or the Guarantor to any
Beneficiary in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by such Beneficiary upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of such entity, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to any such entity or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, in such event, the Guarantor shall pay such Beneficiary an amount equal to the payment that has been rescinded or returned. No Beneficiary shall be required to litigate or otherwise dispute its obligation to make such repayments if
it in good faith believes that such obligation exists. 
 5. Subrogation. The Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert or enforce any
right of contribution, reimbursement, indemnity, subrogation or any other right to payment from Drilling B or Drilling D as a result of the Guarantor’s performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any other claim Guarantor may
have against either Drilling B or Drilling D until all Guaranteed Obligations are performed or paid in full.

The Guarantor represents, as of the date hereof, as follows: 
 (a) the Guarantor has received, or will receive, direct or
indirect benefit from the making of this Agreement and the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (b) the Guarantor is familiar with, and
has independently reviewed, the books and records regarding the financial condition of both Drilling B and Drilling D and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations, but the Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition, the collateral or the agreement of any other party to become a surety as an inducement to enter into this Agreement; 

(c) except to the extent contained in the Water Services Agreements, neither Beneficiary nor any other party has made any
representation, warranty or statement to the Guarantor in order to induce the Guarantor to execute this Agreement; 
 (d) as
of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Agreement and the contingent obligation evidenced hereby, the Guarantor is, and will be, solvent, and has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities and debts,
and has and will have property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities; 
 (e) neither
execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the terms and provisions 

  
 Exhibit D – Page 4

 
hereof, will contravene any provision of applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or any judgment, decree, franchise, order or permit applicable to the Guarantor or will conflict or be
inconsistent with, or will result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of
the property or assets of the Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which the Guarantor may be bound; and

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

  
 Exhibit D – Page 5

 
the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law will be deemed to refer to such statute or law, as amended, and also to refer to all rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Any reference to a Party will also include such Party’s permitted successors and assigns. The words “including,” “includes,” and
“include” will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, will include all other genders; the singular will
include the plural, and vice versa; and the term “shall” means “will,” and vice versa. The terms “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereinafter,” and other equivalent
words refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not solely to the particular portion of the Agreement in which such word is used. 
 9.
Severability. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory provision of applicable laws, the applicable provision of applicable law will control. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other persons or circumstances will not be affected thereby and that
provision will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by applicable laws. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to replace any such invalid provision with a valid provision having similar effect. 

10. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement is intended by the Parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be
a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or
referred to herein in respect of the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter, whether verbal or written. Any amendment, supplement or
modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by the Guarantor, Rice OH or Rice PA from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective
(i) only if it is made or given in writing and signed by the Parties, in the case of an amendment, supplement or modification, and by the Party granting the waiver or consent in the case of a waiver or consent, and (ii) only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. 
 11. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and all guarantees,
covenants and agreements of the Guarantor contained herein shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be discharged until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have terminated or expired, or shall be indefeasibly paid or otherwise
performed and discharged in full. 
 12. Governing law; Jurisdiction. 

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania without regard to choice of law principles. 
 (b) The Parties agree that the appropriate, exclusive and
convenient forum for any disputes between the Parties arising out of this Agreement or the transactions 

  
 Exhibit D – Page 6

 
contemplated hereby shall be in any state or federal court in the City and County of Washington, Pennsylvania, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts
solely in respect of any proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement. The Parties further agree that the Parties shall not bring suit with respect to any disputes arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in
any court or jurisdiction other than the above specified courts. 
 13. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or other
proceedings to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. 

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when executed, will be deemed an original,
and all of which will constitute but one and the same instrument.
