the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated
to the Partnership’s management, including the principal executive officer(s) and principal financial officer(s) of the General Partner, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure to be made. As of the date of the
Partnership’s most recent audited financial statements included in an SEC Report, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were established. 

Section 3.37 Accounting Controls. The Partnership Entities maintain systems of “internal control over financial
reporting” (as such term is defined in Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that complies with the requirements of the Exchange Act and that has been designed by, or under the supervision of, the General Partner’s principal executive
officer(s) and principal financial officer(s), to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, including, but not limited to, internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization;
(ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability;
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is
taken with respect to any differences; and (v) interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language is prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto. As of the date of the most recent balance
sheet of the Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries reviewed or audited by KPMG LLP, there were no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in the internal controls of the Partnership Entities. 

Section 3.38 Placement Agent Reliance. The Partnership acknowledges that the Placement Agent may rely upon the representations
and warranties made by the Partnership to each Purchaser in this Agreement. 
 Section 3.39 Absence of Price Manipulation.
Neither the Partnership nor, to the knowledge of the Partnership, any of its Affiliates or its or their respective directors or officers, has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably be expected
to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Units to facilitate the sale or resale of the Purchased Units in violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act. 

  
 20 

 Section 3.40 Conveyance. The PSA is legally sufficient to transfer or convey to the
Partnership (i) all of the transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Rice Water Entities and the Water Assets and (ii) all of the ownership interests, assets and rights in and to the Rice Water Entities and the Water Assets
purported to be transferred thereby, subject to the conditions, reservations, encumbrances and limitations contained in the PSA. The Partnership, upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the PSA, directly or indirectly succeeded in all
material respects to the Rice Water Entities and the Water Assets. Furthermore, prior to the execution and delivery hereof by the Purchasers, the Conveyance as contemplated by the PSA has occurred. 

ARTICLE IV 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS 

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Partnership that: 

Section 4.1 Existence. Such Purchaser is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its
jurisdiction of organization, with all requisite power and authority to own, lease, use and operate its properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to have such power or authority would not prevent the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 Section 4.2
Authorization, Enforceability. Such Purchaser has all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement
and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, and the execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such
Purchaser; and this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. 

Section 4.3 No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by such
Purchaser and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material
agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Purchaser is subject, (b) conflict with or result in any violation of the provisions of the Organizational
Documents of such Purchaser, or (c) violate any statute, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such Purchaser or the property or assets of such Purchaser, except in the cases of clauses
(a) and (c), for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults as would not prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. 

  
 21 

 Section 4.4 Certain Fees. No fees or commissions are or will be payable by such
Purchaser to brokers, finders, or investment bankers with respect to the purchase of any of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Such Purchaser agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the
Partnership from and against any and all claims, demands, or liabilities for broker’s, finder’s, placement, or other similar fees or commissions incurred by such Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Units or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 Section 4.5 No Side Agreements. There are no other
agreements by, among or between such Purchaser and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than the Operative Documents nor
promises or inducements for future transactions between or among any of such parties. 
 Section 4.6 Investment. The Purchased
Units are being acquired for such Purchaser’s own account, the account of its Affiliates, or the accounts of clients for whom such Purchaser exercises discretionary investment authority (all of whom such Purchaser hereby represents and warrants
are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act), not as a nominee or agent, and with no present intention of distributing the Purchased Units or any
part thereof, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling or granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same in any transaction in violation of the securities laws of the United States or any state, without prejudice,
however, to such Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Purchased Units under a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such
registration available thereunder (including, without limitation, if available, Rule 144 promulgated thereunder). If such Purchaser should in the future decide to dispose of any of the Purchased Units, the Purchaser understands and agrees
(a) that it may do so only in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities law, as then in effect, including a sale contemplated by any registration statement pursuant to which such securities are being offered, or
pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, and (b) that stop-transfer instructions to that effect will be in effect with respect to such securities. 

Section 4.7 Nature of Purchaser. Such Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Partnership that,
(a) it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act and (b) by reason of its business and financial experience it has such knowledge,
sophistication and experience in making similar investments and in business and financial matters generally so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Purchased Units, is able to bear the economic
risk of such investment and, at the present time, would be able to afford a complete loss of such investment. 
 Section 4.8
Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Units are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Partnership in a transaction not
involving a public offering and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may not be resold absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is
knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144 of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act. 

  
 22 

 Section 4.9 Legend. Such Purchaser understands that the book entry evidencing the
Purchased Units will bear the legend required by the Partnership Agreement as well as a legend substantively consistent with the following legend: “These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”). These securities may not be sold or offered for sale except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder, in each case in
accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions, and in the case of a transaction exempt from registration, such securities may only be transferred if the transfer agent for such securities has received
documentation satisfactory to it that such transaction does not require registration under the Securities Act.” 
 Section 4.10
Company Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company has provided or made available to such Purchaser (through EDGAR, the Company’s website or otherwise) all SEC Reports, as well as all press releases or investor
presentations issued by the Company through the date of this Agreement that are included in a filing by the Company on Form 8-K or clearly posted on the Company’s website. 

Section 4.11 Placement Agent Reliance. Such Purchaser agrees that the Placement Agent may rely upon the representations and
warranties made by such Purchaser to the Company in this Agreement. 
 Section 4.12 Short Selling. Such Purchaser represents
that it has not entered into any Short Sales of the Common Units owned by it since the time it first began discussions with the Partnership or the Placement Agent about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided,
however, subject to such Purchaser’s compliance with its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws and its internal policies, the above shall not apply, in the case of a Purchaser that is a large multi-unit investment or
commercial banking organization, to activities in the normal course of trading units of such Purchaser; provided, further, that subject to such Purchaser’s compliance with its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws and
its internal policies: (a) such Purchaser, for purposes hereof, shall not be deemed to include any employees, subsidiaries or Affiliates that are effectively walled off by appropriate “Chinese Wall” information barriers approved by
such Purchaser’s legal or compliance department (and thus have not been privy to any information concerning this transaction) (a “Walled Off Person”) and (b) the foregoing representations in this paragraph shall not apply to any
transaction by or on behalf of such Purchaser that was effected by a Walled Off Person in the ordinary course of trading without the advice or participation of such Purchaser or receipt of confidential or other information regarding this transaction
provided by such Purchaser to such entity. 
 ARTICLE V 

COVENANTS 

Section 5.1 Taking of Necessary Action. Each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to take
or cause to be taken all action and 

  
 23 

 
promptly to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Partnership and each Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings and obtain all consents of Governmental Authorities that may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the other
parties, as the case may be, advisable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. The Partnership shall promptly and accurately respond, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer
agent to respond, to reasonable requests for information (which is otherwise not publicly available) made by a Purchaser or its auditors relating to the actual holdings of such Purchaser or its accounts; provided, that the Partnership shall not be
obligated to provide any such information that could reasonably result in a violation of applicable law or conflict with the Partnership’s insider trading policy or a confidentiality obligation of the Partnership. The Partnership shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to reasonably cooperate with each Purchaser to ensure that the Purchased Units are validly and effectively issued to such Purchaser and that such Purchaser’s ownership of the Purchased
Units following the Closing is accurately reflected on the appropriate books and records of the Partnership’s transfer agent. 

Section 5.2 Other Actions. The Partnership shall file prior to the Closing a supplemental listing application with the NYSE to
list the Purchased Units. 
 Section 5.3 Expenses. The Partnership shall pay up to $75,000 of legal fees of Baker Botts L.L.P.,
counsel to the Purchasers, incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, provided that any request for such
payment is accompanied by a satisfactory written invoice for such expenses. If any action at law or equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of any Operative Document, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s
fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such Party may be entitled. Any legal fees of Baker Botts L.L.P. in excess of $75,000 shall be paid pro rata by all the Purchasers in proportion to the number of
Purchased Units purchased by each. 
 ARTICLE VI 

INDEMNIFICATION 

Section 6.1 Indemnification by the Partnership. The Partnership agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and its Representatives
(collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in
connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way
related to the breach of any 

  
 24 

 
of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Partnership contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations or warranties
is made prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representations or warranties; and provided further, that no Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive
damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value of the Purchased Units, which is specifically included in damages covered by Purchaser Related Parties’ indemnification
above. 
 Section 6.2 Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify the
Partnership, the General Partner and their respective Representatives (collectively, “Partnership Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations,
litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or
involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of such Purchaser contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a
breach of the representations and warranties is made prior to the expiration of such representations and warranties; and provided further, that no Partnership Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost
profits or diminution in value) or punitive damages. 
 Section 6.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under this Article VI of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Article VI, notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under Sections 6.1 or
6.2 of this Article VI except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Article VI. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party
thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Article VI for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ
counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party and those other indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising

  
 25 

 
out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article VI if (i) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the
indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party and its directors, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
the indemnified parties or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall (x) without the prior written consent of the
indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all
liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (y) be liable for any settlement of
any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an
indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel to the extent required by Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified
party in accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement. 

ARTICLE VII

given by any Purchaser, such action shall be in such Purchaser’s sole discretion unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. If any provision in the Operative Documents is held to be illegal, invalid, not binding, or unenforceable, such
provision shall be fully severable and the Operative Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of the Operative Documents, and the remaining provisions

a writing by the parties, regardless of any purported general termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 7.3 No Waiver;
Modifications in Writing. 
 (a) Delay. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power, or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. The remedies provided for
herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a party at law or in equity or otherwise. 
 (b)
Specific Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification, or termination of any provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Document shall be effective unless signed by each of the parties
hereto or thereto affected by such amendment, waiver, consent, modification, or termination. 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 Partnership from the terms of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no
notice to or demand on the Partnership in any case shall entitle the Partnership to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

  
 27 

 Section 7.4 Binding Effect; Assignment. 

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Partnership, the Purchasers, and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 

(b) Assignment of Rights. All or any portion of the rights and obligations of any Purchaser under this Agreement may be transferred by
such Purchaser to any Affiliate of such Purchaser without the consent of the Partnership. No portion of the rights and obligations of any Purchaser under this Agreement may be transferred by such Purchaser to a non-Affiliate without the written
consent of the Partnership (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Partnership). 
 Section 7.5
Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that any Purchaser has executed or is otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement in favor of the Partnership, such Purchaser shall continue to be bound by
such confidentiality agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, telecopy, air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery or personal delivery to the following addresses:

 28 

 Section 7.7 Removal of Legend. The Partnership, at its sole cost, shall remove the
legend described in Section 4.9 (or instruct its transfer agent to so remove such legend) from the certificates evidencing Purchased Units issued and sold to each Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement if (i) such Purchased Units are
sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) such Purchased Units are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Partnership), or (iii) such Purchased Units
are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Partnership to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such securities and without volume or
manner of sale restrictions. In connection with a sale of the Purchased Units by a Purchaser in reliance on Rule 144, the applicable Purchaser or its broker shall deliver to the transfer agent and the Partnership a customary broker representation
letter providing to the transfer agent and the Partnership any information the Partnership deems reasonably necessary to determine that the sale of the Purchased Units is made in compliance with Rule 144, including, as may be appropriate, a
certification that the Purchaser is not an Affiliate of the Partnership and regarding the length of time the Purchased Units have been held. Upon receipt of such representation letter, the Partnership shall promptly direct its transfer agent to
remove the legend referred to in Section 4.9 from the appropriate book-entry accounts maintained by the transfer agent, and the Partnership shall bear all costs associated therewith. After any Purchaser or its permitted assigns have held
the Purchased Units for such time as non-Affiliates are permitted to sell without volume limitations under Rule 144, if the certificate for such Purchased Units still bears the restrictive legend referred to in Section 4.9, the
Partnership agrees, upon request of the Purchaser or permitted assignee, to take all steps necessary to promptly effect the removal of the legend described in Section 4.9 from the Purchased Units, and the Partnership shall bear all costs
associated therewith, regardless of whether the request is made in connection with a sale or otherwise, so long as such Purchaser or its permitted assigns provide to the Partnership any information the Partnership deems reasonably necessary to
determine that the legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state laws, including a certification that the holder is not an Affiliate of the Partnership (and a covenant to inform the Partnership if it should thereafter
become an Affiliate and to consent to exchange its certificates for certificates bearing an appropriate restrictive legend) and regarding the length of time the Purchased Units have been held. 

Section 7.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the other agreements and documents referred to
herein are 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 hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein.
There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein or the other Operative Documents with respect to the rights granted by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates or any
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates set forth herein or therein. This Agreement, the other Operative Documents and the other agreements and documents referred to herein or therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties
with respect to such subject matter. 

  
 29 

 Section 7.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of laws principles (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law). 

Section 7.10 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. In the event that any
signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the
same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. 
 Section 7.11
Termination. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated at any time at or prior to the
Closing by any Purchaser (with respect to such Purchaser only), upon a breach in any material respect by the Partnership of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall automatically terminate at any time at or prior to the Closing 

(i) if a statute, rule, order, decree or regulation shall have been enacted or promulgated, or if any action shall have been
taken by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that permanently restrains, permanently precludes, permanently enjoins or otherwise permanently prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or makes the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal; or 
 (ii) if the Closing shall not have occurred by November 13,
2015. 
 (c) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section 7.11, this Agreement shall forthwith
become null and void. In the event of such termination, there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto, except as set forth in Article VI of this Agreement. 

Section 7.12 Recapitalization, Exchanges, Etc. Affecting the Common Units. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the
full extent set forth herein with respect to any and all equity interests of the Partnership or any successor or assign of the Partnership (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange
for or in substitution of, the Common Units, and shall be appropriately adjusted for combinations, unit splits, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing.

effective, supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for the resale of all Registrable Securities by the Holders until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have ceased to be
Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Registration Statement when effective (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the
case of any prospectus contained in such Registration Statement or documents incorporated therein by reference, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made). As soon as practicable following the date that the Registration
Statement becomes effective, but in any event within two (2) Business Days of such date, the Partnership shall provide the Holders with written notice of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. 

(b) Failure to Go Effective. If the Registration Statement required by Section 2.01(a) is not declared effective within 90
days of the Closing Date, then each Holder shall be entitled to a payment (with respect to the Purchased Units of each such Holder), as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, of 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period, that
shall accrue daily, for the first 30 days following the 90th day, increasing by an additional 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period, that shall accrue daily, for each
subsequent 30 days, up to a maximum of 1.00% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period (the “Liquidated Damages”) payable within ten (10) Business Days after the end of each such 30-day period. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the aggregate of all Liquidated Damages payable by the Partnership hereunder exceed 5.00% of the aggregate price at which the Partnership offered the Purchased Units for sale pursuant to
the Common Unit Purchase Agreement. Any Liquidated Damages shall be paid to each Holder in immediately available funds; provided, however, if the Partnership certifies that it is unable to pay Liquidated Damages in cash because such
payment would result in a breach under a credit facility or other debt instrument, then the Partnership shall pay such Liquidated Damages using as much cash as is permitted without causing a breach of or default under such credit facility or other
debt instrument and may pay the balance of any such Liquidated Damages in kind in the form of the issuance of additional Common Units. Upon any issuance of Common Units as Liquidated Damages, the Partnership shall promptly (i) prepare and file
an amendment to the Registration Statement prior to its effectiveness adding such Common Units to such Registration Statement as additional Registrable Securities and (ii) prepare and file a supplemental listing application with the NYSE (or
such other national securities exchange on which the Common Units are then listed and traded) to list such additional Common Units. The determination of the number of Common Units to be issued as Liquidated Damages shall be equal to the amount of
Liquidated Damages divided by the volume-weighted average closing price of the Common Units on the NYSE, or any other national securities exchange on which the Common Units are then traded, for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding
the date on which the Liquidated Damages payment is due, less a discount to such average closing price of 2.00%. The payment 

  
 4 

 
of Liquidated Damages to a Holder shall cease at the earlier of (i) the Registration Statement becoming effective or (ii) when such Holder no longer holds Registrable Securities,
assuming that each Holder is not an Affiliate of the Partnership, and any payment of Liquidated Damages shall be prorated for any period of less than 30 days in which the payment of Liquidated Damages ceases. If the Partnership is unable to cause a
Registration Statement to go effective within 90 days after the Closing Date as a result of an acquisition, merger, reorganization, disposition or other similar transaction, then the Partnership may request a waiver of the Liquidated Damages, and
each Holder may individually grant or withhold its consent to such request in its discretion. 
 Section 2.02 Piggyback Rights.

 (a) Participation. If the Partnership proposes to file (i) a shelf registration statement other than the Registration
Statement contemplated by Section 2.01(a), (ii) a prospectus supplement to an effective shelf registration statement, other than the Registration Statement contemplated by Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement and Holders
may be included without the filing of a post-effective amendment thereto, or (iii) a registration statement, other than a shelf registration statement, in each case, for the sale of Common Units in an Underwritten Offering for its own account
and/or another Person, then as soon as practicable following the engagement of counsel by the Partnership to prepare the documents to be used in connection with an Underwritten Offering, the Partnership shall give notice (including, but not limited
to, notification by electronic mail) of such proposed Underwritten Offering to each Holder (together with its Affiliates) holding at least $15 million of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities (based on the Common Unit Price) and such notice
shall offer such Holders the opportunity to include in such Underwritten Offering such number of Registrable Securities (the “Included Registrable Securities”) as each such Holder may request in writing; provided, however,
that if the Partnership has been advised by the Managing Underwriter that the inclusion of Registrable Securities for sale for the benefit of the Holders will have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Units in the
Underwritten Offering, then (A) if no Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the Managing Underwriter, the Partnership shall not be required to offer such opportunity to the Holders or (B) if
any Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the Managing Underwriter, then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders shall be determined based on the provisions of
Section 2.02(b). Any notice required to be provided in this Section 2.02(a) to Holders shall be provided on a Business Day pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof and receipt of such notice shall be confirmed and kept
confidential by the Holder until such proposed Underwritten Offering is (i) publicly announced or (ii) such Holder receives notice that such proposed Underwritten Offering has been abandoned, which such notice shall be provided promptly by
the Partnership to each Holder. Each such Holder shall then have two (2) Business Days (or one (1) Business Day in connection with any overnight or bought deal Underwritten Offering) after notice has been delivered to request in writing
the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering. If no written request for inclusion from a Holder is received within the specified time, each such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Underwritten Offering.
If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to undertake an Underwritten Offering and prior to the closing of such Underwritten Offering, the Partnership shall determine for any reason not to undertake or to delay such Underwritten
Offering, the Partnership may, at its election, give written notice of 

  
 5 

 
such determination to the Selling Holders and, (x) in the case of a determination not to undertake such Underwritten Offering, shall be relieved of its obligation to sell any Included
Registrable Securities in connection with such terminated Underwritten Offering, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay such Underwritten Offering, shall be permitted to delay offering any Included Registrable Securities for the same
period as the delay in the Underwritten Offering. Any Selling Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Selling Holder’s request for inclusion of such Selling Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering by giving
written notice to the Partnership of such withdrawal at or prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. Any Holder may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Partnership requesting that such Holder not
receive notice from the Partnership of any proposed Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from a Holder (unless subsequently
revoked), the Partnership shall not be required to deliver any notice to such Holder pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) and such Holder shall no longer be entitled to participate in Underwritten Offerings by the Partnership pursuant to this
Section 2.02(a). The Holders indicated on Schedule A hereto as having opted out shall each be deemed to have delivered an Opt-Out Notice as of the date hereof. 

(b) Priority. If the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering advises the Partnership that the total
amount of Registrable Securities that the Selling Holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or
distribution of the Common Units offered or the market for the Common Units, then the Common Units to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall include the number of Registrable Securities that such Managing Underwriter or Underwriters advises
the Partnership can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) first, to the Partnership, (ii) second, to holders of registration rights pursuant to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement in
accordance therewith and (iii) third, pro rata among the Selling Holders who have requested participation in such Underwritten Offering and, except as provided in clauses (i) and (ii), any other holder of securities of the Partnership
having rights of registration that are neither expressly senior nor subordinated to the Registrable Securities (the “Parity Securities”). The pro rata allocations for each Selling Holder who has requested participation in such
Underwritten Offering shall be the product of (a) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such Underwritten Offering multiplied by (b) the fraction derived by dividing (x) the number of Registrable
Securities owned on the Closing Date by such Selling Holder by (y) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned on the Closing Date by all Selling Holders plus the aggregate number of Parity Securities owned on the Closing Date by all
holders of Parity Securities that are participating in the Underwritten Offering. 
 (c) Termination of Piggyback Registration
Rights. Each Holder’s rights under Section 2.02 shall terminate upon such Holder (together with its Affiliates) ceasing to hold at least $15 million of Registrable Securities (based on the Common Unit Price). Each Holder shall
notify the Partnership in writing when such Holder holds less than $15 million of Registrable Securities (based on the Common Unit Price). 

  
 6 

 Section 2.03 Delay Rights. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Partnership may, upon written notice to any Selling Holder whose Registrable
Securities are included in the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, suspend such Selling Holder’s use of any prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement or other registration
statement (in which event the Selling Holder shall discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement but may settle any previously made sales of
Registrable Securities) if, in the General Partner’s good faith determination, such use would (a) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, reorganization, financing or other similar transaction involving the Partnership,
(b) require premature disclosure of material information that the Partnership has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (c) render the Partnership unable to comply with applicable securities laws; provided,
however, in no event shall the Selling Holders be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or other registration statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of 60 days in any 180-day period or 105
days in any 365-day period, in each case, exclusive of days covered by any lock-up agreement executed by a Selling Holder in connection with any Underwritten Offering. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described
above, the Partnership shall provide prompt notice to the Selling Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, and shall promptly terminate any
suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other reasonable actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement. 

If (i) the Selling Holders shall be prohibited from selling their Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement or other
registration statement contemplated by this Agreement as a result of a suspension pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph in excess of the periods permitted therein or (ii) the Registration Statement or other registration statement
contemplated by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but, during the Effectiveness Period, shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded within 30 Business Days by a
post-effective amendment thereto, a supplement to the prospectus or a report filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or l5(d) of the Exchange Act, then, until the suspension is lifted or a post-effective amendment,
supplement or report is filed with the Commission, but not including any day on which a suspension is lifted or such amendment, supplement or report is filed and declared effective, if applicable, the Partnership shall pay the Selling Holders an
amount equal to the Liquidated Damages, following the earlier of (x) the date on which the suspension period exceeded the permitted period and (y) the thirty-first (31st) Business
Day after the Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement ceased to be effective or failed to be useable for its intended purposes, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (for purposes of calculating
Liquidated Damages, the date in (x) or (y) above shall be deemed the “90th day,” as used in the definition of Liquidated Damages). For purposes of this paragraph, a suspension shall be deemed lifted on the date that notice that
the suspension has been terminated is delivered to the Selling Holders. Liquidated Damages pursuant to this paragraph shall cease to accrue upon the Purchased Units of such Holder becoming eligible for resale without restriction and without the need
for current public information under any section of Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act, assuming that each Holder is not an Affiliate of the Partnership, and any payment of Liquidated Damages shall be
prorated for any period of less than 30 days in which the payment of Liquidated Damages ceases.

 Section 2.04 Underwritten Offerings. 

(a) General Procedures. In connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Agreement, the Partnership shall be entitled to select
the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters. In connection with an Underwritten Offering contemplated by this Agreement in which a Selling Holder participates, each Selling Holder and the Partnership shall be obligated to enter into an underwriting
agreement that contains such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations as are customary in underwriting agreements for firm commitment offerings of securities. No Selling Holder may participate in such Underwritten
Offering unless such Selling Holder agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in such underwriting agreement and completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents reasonably required
under the terms of such underwriting agreement. Each Selling Holder may, at its option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Partnership to and for the benefit of such
underwriters also be made to and for such Selling Holder’s benefit and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement also be conditions precedent to its obligations. No
Selling Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Partnership or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Selling Holder, its authority to enter into such
underwriting agreement and to sell, and its ownership of, the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by Law. If any Selling Holder disapproves of the terms of an
underwriting, such Selling Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by notice to the Partnership and the Managing Underwriter; provided, however, that such withdrawal must be made up to and including the time of pricing of such Underwritten
Offering. No such withdrawal or abandonment shall affect the Partnership’s obligation to pay Registration Expenses. The Partnership’s management may but shall not be required to participate in a roadshow or similar marketing effort in
connection with any Underwritten Offering. 
 (b) No Demand Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Holder
shall be entitled to any “demand” rights or similar rights that would require the Partnership to effect an Underwritten Offering solely on behalf of the Holders. 

Section 2.05 Sale Procedures. In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Partnership will, as
expeditiously as possible: 
 (a) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the
prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect
to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; 
 (b) if a prospectus or prospectus supplement will
be used in connection with the marketing of an Underwritten Offering from the Registration Statement and the Managing 

  
 8 

 
Underwriter at any time shall notify the Partnership in writing that, in the sole judgment of such Managing Underwriter, inclusion of detailed information to be used in such prospectus or
prospectus supplement is of material importance to the success of the Underwritten Offering of such Registrable Securities, the Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include such information in such prospectus or prospectus
supplement; 
 (c) furnish to each Selling Holder (i) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing the Registration
Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document
incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the Commission), and provide each such Selling Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Selling Holder and its plan of
distribution that is contained therein and make the corrections reasonably requested by such Selling Holder with respect to such information prior to filing the Registration Statement or such other registration statement or supplement or amendment
thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of the Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the prospectus or prospectus supplement included therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as such Selling Holder may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or other registration statement; 

(d) if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the Managing Underwriter, shall reasonably
request; provided, however, that the Partnership will not be required to qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is not then required to so qualify or to take any action that would subject it to general service of
process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 
 (e) promptly notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered by any of them under the Securities Act, of (i) the filing of the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement
to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and
(ii) the receipt of any written comments from the Commission with respect to any filing referred to in clause (i) and any written request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any other
registration statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto; 
 (f) promptly notify each Selling Holder of (i) the
happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus supplement contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which a 

  
 9 

 
statement is made); (ii) the issuance or express threat of issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any other registration
statement contemplated by this Agreement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (iii) the receipt by the Partnership of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for
sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the provision of such notice, the Partnership agrees to as promptly as practicable amend or supplement the prospectus or prospectus supplement or take other
appropriate action so that the prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
the light of the circumstances then existing and to take such other commercially reasonable action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, threat thereof or proceedings related thereto; 

(g) upon request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish to each Selling Holder copies of any and all transmittal
letters or other correspondence with the Commission or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such offering of Registrable
Securities; 
 (h) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, furnish upon request, (i) an opinion of counsel for the Partnership dated
the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement and (ii) a “comfort” letter, dated the pricing date of such Underwritten Offering and a letter of like kind dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, in
each case, signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Partnership’s financial statements included or incorporated by reference into the applicable registration statement, and each of the opinion and the
“comfort” letter shall be in customary form and covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement included therein) as have been customarily covered in
opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to the underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership and such other matters as such underwriters and Selling Holders may reasonably request; 

(i) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make
available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder; 

(j) make available to the appropriate representatives of the Managing Underwriter and Selling Holders access to such information and
Partnership personnel as is reasonable and customary to enable such parties to establish a due diligence defense under the Securities Act; provided, that the Partnership need not disclose any non-public information to any such representative
unless and until such representative has entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Partnership; 
 (k) cause all such Registrable
Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Partnership are then listed; 

  
 10 

 (l) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Partnership to enable the Selling Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 

(m) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement not later than the effective
date of such registration statement; 
 (n) enter into customary agreements and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the
Selling Holders or the underwriters, if any, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; and 
 (o)
if requested by a Selling Holder, (i) incorporate in a prospectus or prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement such information as such
Selling Holder reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being
paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering and (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus or prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the
matters to be incorporated in such prospectus or prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment. 
 The Partnership shall not name a
Holder as an underwriter as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act in any registration statement without such Holder’s consent. If the staff of the Commission requires the Partnership to name any Holder as an underwriter as
defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and such Holder does not consent thereto, then such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall not be included on the Registration Statement (or any other registration statement contemplated by
this Agreement), such Holder shall no longer be entitled to receive Liquidated Damages under this Agreement with respect thereto, the Partnership shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Holder
and such Holder shall have been deemed to have terminated this Agreement with respect to such Holder. 
 Each Selling Holder, upon receipt
of notice from the Partnership of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection (f) of this Section 2.05, shall forthwith discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or
prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus or prospectus supplement contemplated by subsection (f) of this Section 2.05 or until it is advised in
writing by the Partnership that the use of the prospectus or prospectus supplement may be resumed and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus or prospectus supplement, and, if so
directed by the Partnership, such Selling Holder will, or will request the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, to deliver to the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) all copies in their possession or control, other than
permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the prospectus or prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. 

  
 11 

 Section 2.06 Cooperation by Holders. The Partnership shall have no obligation to
include Registrable Securities of a Holder in the Registration Statement or in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.02(a) who has failed to timely furnish such information that the Partnership determines, after consultation
with its counsel, is reasonably required in order for the registration statement or prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act. 

Section 2.07 Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, if
requested by the underwriters of an Underwritten Offering, to enter into a customary letter agreement with such underwriters providing such Holder will not effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities during the 60 calendar day
period beginning on the date of a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the Commission with respect to the pricing of any Underwritten Offering, provided that (i) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer
than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters on the Partnership or the officers, directors or any other Affiliate of the Partnership on whom a restriction is imposed and (ii) the restrictions set forth in
this Section 2.07 shall not apply to any Registrable Securities that are included in such Underwritten Offering by such Holder. In addition, this Section 2.07 shall not apply to any Holder that is not entitled to participate
in such Underwritten Offering, whether because such Holder delivered an Opt-Out Notice prior to receiving notice of the Underwritten Offering or because such Holder holds less than $15 million of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities. 

Section 2.08 Expenses. 

(a) Expenses. The Partnership will pay all reasonable Registration Expenses as determined in good faith, including, in the case of an
Underwritten Offering, whether or not any sale is made pursuant to such Underwritten Offering. Each Selling Holder shall pay its pro rata share of all Selling Expenses in connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder. In addition,
except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09 hereof, the Partnership shall not be responsible for professional fees incurred by Holders in connection with the exercise of such Holders’ rights hereunder. 

(b) Certain Definitions. “Registration Expenses” means all expenses incident to the Partnership’s performance
under or compliance with this Agreement to effect the registration of Registrable Securities on the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or an Underwritten Offering covered under this Agreement, and the disposition of such
Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, securities exchange listing and NYSE fees, all registration, filing, qualification and other fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, fees of
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, fees of transfer agents and registrars, all word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, any transfer taxes and the fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the
Partnership, including the expenses of any special audits or “comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance. “Selling Expenses” means all underwriting fees, discounts and selling commissions
or similar fees or arrangements allocable to the sale of the Registrable Securities. 

  
 12 

 Section 2.09 Indemnification. 

(a) By the Partnership. In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Agreement, the Partnership will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder thereunder, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, employees or agents (collectively, the “Selling Holder Indemnified Persons”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (in the case of any prospectus or prospectus supplement, in the light of the circumstances
under which such statement is made) contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, preliminary prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or final
prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or prospectus supplement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and will reimburse each such Selling Holder Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss or actions or proceedings; provided, however, that the Partnership will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out
of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Selling Holder Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the Registration
Statement or such other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, preliminary prospectus, preliminary prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus, or final prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, or any amendment or
supplement thereof. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder. 

(b) By Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the
General Partner, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, employees and agents, to the same
extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in the Registration
Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, preliminary prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or final prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, or any amendment or
supplement thereof; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder shall not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of the
Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. 
 (c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be 

  
 13 

 
made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that
it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.09. In any action brought against any indemnified party, it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to
assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 2.09 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the
indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the
indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the
indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable
expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnifying party shall settle any action brought against any indemnified party with respect to
which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the indemnified party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete and unconditional release from all
liability of, the indemnified party. 
 (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.09 is
held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold them harmless in respect of any Losses, then each such indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of such indemnified party on
the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall such Selling Holder be required to contribute an
aggregate amount in excess of the dollar amount of proceeds (net of Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and the indemnified party on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been made by,
or relates to, information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an indemnified
party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and 

  
 14 

 
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any Loss that is the subject of this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

(e) Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.09 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification
or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise. 
 Section 2.10 Rule 144
Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Partnership agrees to: 

(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information regarding the Partnership available, as those terms are understood
and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after the date hereof; 
 (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to
file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Partnership under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and 

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish, (i) to the extent accurate, forthwith upon request, a written statement
of the Partnership that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and (ii) unless otherwise available via EDGAR, to such Holder forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Partnership, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration. 

Solely for purposes of this Section 2.10, the term “Registrable Securities” shall be read without regard to the
limitation set forth in Section 1.02(e). 
 Section 2.11 Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights
to cause the Partnership to register Registrable Securities granted to the Purchasers by the Partnership under this Article II may be transferred or assigned by any Purchaser to one or more transferees or assignees of Registrable Securities;
provided, however, that (a) unless the transferee or assignee is an Affiliate of, and after such transfer or assignment continues to be an Affiliate of, such Purchaser, the amount of Registrable Securities transferred or assigned to such
transferee or assignee shall represent at least $15 million of Registrable Securities (based on the Common Unit Price), (b) the Partnership is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each
such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (c) each such transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the
obligations of such Purchaser under this Agreement and (d) the transferor or assignor is not relieved of any obligations or liabilities hereunder arising out of events occurring prior to such transfer. 

Section 2.12 Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date hereof, the Partnership shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Holders of a majority of 

  
 15 

 
the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any current or future holder of any securities of the Partnership that would allow such current or future holder to require the
Partnership to include securities in any registration statement filed by the Partnership on a basis other than pari passu with, or expressly subordinate to the rights of, the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder.

by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be
incurred by any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the Purchasers or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general

 Schedule A to Exhibit
A of the Common Unit Purchase Agreement 

 Exhibit B – Form of Opinion of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. 

Based on the foregoing and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: 

 

	 	(a)	Each of the Partnership Entities has been duly formed and is validly existing as a limited partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with all
limited partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, power and authority necessary to (A) conduct its business as described in the SEC Reports, and (B) enter into and perform its obligations under the PSA, the Purchase

	 	(b)	Each of the Partnership Entities is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, in good standing in all jurisdictions listed on Annex A hereto;

  

	 	(c)	The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership and owns a noneconomic general partner interest in the Partnership; the General Partner Interest has been duly authorized and validly issued in
accordance with the Partnership Agreement, is fully paid (to the extent required under the Partnership Agreement) and conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the SEC Reports; and the General Partner Interest is
owned free and clear of any Liens (1) in respect of which a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware naming the General Partner as debtor is on file in the office of the Delaware Secretary of State or
(2) otherwise known to us, without independent investigation, other than (A) restrictions on transferability contained in the Partnership Agreement and (B) Liens created by or arising under the Delaware LP Act; 

 

	 	(d)	As of the date hereof, immediately after the offer, issuance and sale of the Purchased Units to the Purchasers in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the issued and outstanding limited partner interests in the

Purchase Agreement), and (3) the Incentive Distribution Rights issued to RMH; and such limited partner interests conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the SEC Reports; other than as described in any SEC
Report, the equity holders of the Partnership have no preemptive rights with respect to the Common Units under federal law, the Delaware LP Act or any agreement or instrument filed as an exhibit to an SEC Report; 

  
 Exhibit B to Common

	 	(e)	RMH owns all of the Incentive Distribution Rights and all of the Sponsor Units; the Incentive Distribution Rights and the Sponsor Units, and the limited partner interests represented thereby, have been duly authorized

LLC Agreement) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 18-607 and 18-804 of the Delaware LLC Act); and such limited liability company interests are owned
free and clear of all Liens (1) in respect of which a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware naming Rice OpCo as debtor is on file in the office of the Delaware Secretary of State or (2) otherwise
known to us, without independent investigation, other than (A) restrictions on transferability contained in the Rice Poseidon LLC Agreement and (B) Liens created by or arising under the Delaware LLC Act; 

 

	 	(i)	After giving effect to the Conveyance, the Partnership is the sole member of the Rice Water Entities and owns 100% of the limited liability company interests in the Rice Water Entities; such limited liability company

from the sale of the Purchased Units, in each case, do not and will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of the
Partnership Entities pursuant to (1) the Organizational Documents of any of the Partnership Entities, (2) the Delaware LLC Act, the Delaware LP Act or applicable U.S. federal law or any order, judgment, decree or injunction known to us of
any U.S. federal or Delaware court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Partnership 

  
 Exhibit B to Common
Unit Purchase Agreement 

	 	
Entities or any of their properties in a proceeding in which any of them or their respective properties is a party or (3) any agreement or instrument filed as an exhibit to the SEC Reports;
except in the case of clauses (2) and (3) for such breaches, violations, defaults and Liens as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, it being understood with respect to clause (2) above, we
express no opinion as to the application of any federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws or federal or state antifraud laws, rules or regulations; 

  

	 	(l)	No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any person (including any governmental agency or body or any court) is required to be obtained or made by any of the Partnership Entities in connection
with the Conveyance or the execution, delivery and performance by the Partnership Entities of the PSA, the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, except (A) for the approvals required by the Commission in connection with the
Partnership’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) such as have been obtained or made, or (C) such as may be required under federal or state securities laws or by the FINRA rules, in each case except where the
failure to obtain such consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of the Partnership Entities to consummate the Conveyance or the transactions contemplated by the
PSA, the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement; 

  

	 	(m)	Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each of the Purchasers and the Partnership contained in the Purchase Agreement, the sale and issuance of the Purchased Units by the Partnership to the

	 	(n)	None of the Partnership Entities is now and, after giving effect to the issuance and sale of the Purchased Units by the Partnership and the application of the proceeds therefrom, none of the Partnership Entities will be

listed on Annex A hereto. 
 (ii) The opinions expressed herein are limited to matters arising under the federal laws of the United
States of America and, as applicable, the laws of the State of New York and the Delaware LP Act, the Delaware LLC Act and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

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.

 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

 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.

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.

and the invoice therefor has been paid, Service Provider shall refund any amount of overcharge, and Producer shall pay any amount of undercharge, within thirty (30) Days after final determination thereof, provided, however, that no retroactive
adjustment will be made beyond a period of twenty-four (24) Months from the date of a statement hereunder.

(60) Days after the due date, Service Provider shall have the right to suspend or discontinue Services hereunder until any such past due amount is paid.

(30) Days prior written notice to the other Party, shall have the right at its expense, at reasonable times during normal business hours, but in no event more than twice in any period of twelve (12) consecutive Months, to audit the books
and records of the other Party to the extent necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, allocation, measurement, computation, charge, payment made under, or obligation or right pursuant to this Agreement. The scope of any audit shall be
limited to transactions affecting Fresh Water volumes hereunder and shall be limited to the twenty-four (24) Month period immediately prior to the Month in which the notice requesting an audit was given. All statements, allocations,
measurements, computations, charges, or payments made in any period prior to the twenty-four (24) Month period immediately prior to the Month in which the audit is requested shall be conclusively deemed true and correct and shall be final for
all purposes. 
 Section 12.4 Payment Disputes. In the event of any dispute with respect to any payment hereunder,

involuntary petition has not been settled or otherwise dismissed within ninety (90) Days of such filing; or

evidenced. 
 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 

  
 26 

 
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 pipe, inability of any Party hereto to obtain, after the exercise of reasonable diligence, necessary materials, supplies, or Governmental Approvals, any action or restraint by any Governmental Authority (so long as
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.

(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
or affecting the Guarantor before any court or before any governmental or administrative body or agency that might result in any materially adverse change in the operations, business, property or assets or in the condition (financial or otherwise)

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

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. 
 15. Headings. The headings herein are included for convenience
of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction and interpretation of this Agreement.
