the Partnership Assets on or prior to the Closing Date, including under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6, as it may be amended (or any similar provision of state or local law), and any such Tax liabilities that may result from the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement; and 
 (v) the failure of any Partnership Group
Member to have on the Closing Date any consent, license, permit or approval necessary to allow such Partnership Group Member to own or operate the Partnership Assets in substantially the same manner that the Partnership Assets were owned or operated
immediately prior to the Closing Date. 

  
 11 

 (b) The Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Noble Energy Group from and against
any Losses suffered or incurred by any Noble Energy Group Member by reason of or arising out of events and conditions to the extent associated with the ownership or operation of the Partnership Assets and to the extent occurring after the Closing
Date (other than Covered Environmental Losses which are provided for under Section 2.2(a) and Losses for which the Partnership is indemnifying Noble under Section 2.1(b)), unless such indemnification would
not be permitted by any Partnership Group Member under the Partnership Agreement. 
 (c) The Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Noble Energy Group from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by any Noble Energy Group Member by reason of or arising out of events and conditions, regardless of whether occurring prior to or following the Closing Date (the
“Wells Ranch CGF Indemnity”), to the extent associated with the Surface Lease, dated as of May 18, 2012, by and between Noble, Wells Ranch, LLLP and the other persons named as “Owners” thereunder, covering approximately 61
acres in Weld County, Colorado (the “Original Lease”), as assigned, amended or otherwise modified by that certain Partial Assignment of Surface Lease with Wattenberg Holding, LLC, dated October 22, 2012, pursuant to which a portion
of Noble’s interest in the Surface Lease was assigned to such assignee, as further assigned, amended or otherwise modified by that certain Amendment to Surface Lease, dated June 18, 2013, pursuant to which certain payment terms appearing in the
Surface Lease were modified, as further assigned, amended or otherwise modified by that certain First Amendment to Surface Lease, dated July 3, 2013, pursuant to which certain terms of the Surface Lease were modified, as further assigned, amended or
otherwise modified by that certain Amendment 03 to Surface Lease, dated effective as of January 1, 2015, pursuant to which OpCo became a party to the Original Lease (such Original Lease, and all amendments prior to the date hereof and as such
Original Lease may be further assigned, amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Wells Ranch CGF Surface Lease”). In consideration of this Wells Ranch CGF Indemnity, Noble hereby agrees that it will not sell,
assign, transfer or otherwise modify the Wells Ranch CGF Surface Lease from and after the date hereof without the prior written consent of OpCo. 

(d) The Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Noble Energy Group from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by any
Noble Energy Group Member by reason of or arising out of events and conditions associated with the Partnership’s exercise of the Property Access Rights. 

2.4 Indemnification Procedures. 

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

  
 12 

 (b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any
counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification under this Article II, including the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court
and the settling of any such claim or any matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement for only the payment of money shall be entered into without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless it includes a
full release of the Indemnified Party from such claim; provided, further, that no such settlement containing any form of injunctive or similar relief shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. 
 (c) The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner with the Indemnifying Party with respect to all aspects of the defense of and pursuit of any counterclaims relating to any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article II, including the prompt furnishing to the
Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the Indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense and counterclaims (provided, that
the Indemnified Party has an opportunity to review the use of its name and does not reasonably object to such use), the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that the
Indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense and counterclaims, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Party and the granting to the Indemnifying Party of reasonable access rights to the
properties and facilities of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 2.4. The obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set
forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims and pursuit of any counterclaims with respect to any
claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article II; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense and counterclaims.
The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party informed as to the status of any such defense or counterclaim, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense and
counterclaims so long as the Indemnified Party is still seeking indemnification hereunder. 
 (d) In determining the amount of any loss,
cost, damage or expense for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Party, and such
correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such claim and (ii) all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities
from third Persons. 

  
 13 

 2.5 Limitations Regarding Indemnification. 

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

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

2.6 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, from and after the Closing Date, Section
2.1, Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 contain the Parties’ exclusive remedy against each other with respect to breaches of the covenants of the Parties set forth in Article II. Except for (a) the remedies contained in
Section 2.1, Section 2.2 and Section 2.3, (b) any other remedies available to the Parties at law or in equity for breaches of provisions of this Agreement other than Article II and (c) the remedies available at law
or in equity in connection with any other document delivered by a Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including pursuant to the Contribution Agreement), from and after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law each of the Parties releases, remises and forever discharges the other and its Affiliates and all such Persons’ equity holders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives from any and
all Losses in law or in equity, known or unknown, which such Parties might now or subsequently may have, based on, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 

ARTICLE III 
 SERVICES;
REIMBURSEMENT 
 3.1 General and Administrative Services. 

(a) Noble agrees to provide, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to provide, to the General Partner, for the Partnership Group’s benefit,
the centralized general and administrative services that Noble and its Affiliates have traditionally provided in connection with the ownership and operation of the Partnership Assets, which consist of the services set forth on Schedule B (the
“General and Administrative Services”). 

  
 14 

 (b) Absent the written agreement of the Parties to the contrary, the Parties agree that the
General and Administrative Services will be received by the General Partner, for the benefit of the Partnership Group, at the places of business of the General Partner and its subsidiaries. 

(c) The Parties acknowledge that the Administrative Fee, together with the other costs and expenses of the General and Administrative Services
described herein, will be allocated among the Partnership Group Members (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes each of the Subsidiaries of the Partnership that own the real property interests and physical assets of the Partnership Group
Members) based on any reasonable allocation methodology as determined by the General Partner. 
 (d) For the avoidance of doubt, the General
and Administrative Services provided by Noble pursuant to this Article III will be in addition to, and not in duplication of, the services that will be provided to the Partnership Parties by Noble and NESI under the Operational
Services and Secondment Agreement and the functions performed by the employees seconded to the Partnership Parties under the Operational Services and Secondment Agreement, and neither Noble nor NESI shall not be entitled to reimbursement under this
Agreement for any costs or expenses for which Noble or NESI is entitled to payment or reimbursement under the Operational Services and Secondment Agreement. 

3.2 Administrative Fee. 

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

(b) If any officer of the General Partner is not covered by the amount paid under the Operational Services and Secondment Agreement, then the
Partnership Group shall be allocated an amount in consideration for the services of such employees of Noble Energy Group in their capacities as officers of the General Partner and the Partnership Group Members and such allocated amount shall be
included in the Administrative Fee. 

  
 15 

 (c) Concurrently with the annual rate redetermination process under the Revenue Agreements, Noble
shall submit to the Board of Directors of the General Partner its good faith estimate of the cost of the General and Administrative Services to be provided to the Partnership Group for the coming 12-month period, which may be adjusted to reflect,
among other things, the contribution, acquisition or disposition of assets to or by the Partnership Group or to reflect any change in the cost of providing General and Administrative Services to the Partnership Group due to changes in any law, rule
or regulation applicable to Noble and its Affiliates or the Partnership Group, including any interpretation of such laws, rules or regulations. The Board of Directors of the General Partner shall review the proposed Administrative Fee and shall
submit any disputes to Noble as promptly as reasonably practicable. If Noble and the Board of Directors of the General Partner are unable to agree on the Administrative Fee for any year, Noble and the Partnership shall submit the proposed
Administrative Fee and supporting documentation to an independent auditing firm for review, and the determination of the independent auditing firm with respect to all items included in the Administrative Fee shall be binding on Noble and the
Partnership. 
 (d) The Administrative Fee shall be invoiced and paid as follows: 

(i) Within 20 days following the end of each month (or the next succeeding business day) beginning with the first full month
after the Closing Date and continuing through the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.4 (the “NEI Invoice Delivery Date”), Noble will submit to the Partnership Group an invoice of the amounts due for such
month for the Administrative Fee. Each invoice will be as detailed as the General Partner may require, acting reasonably, including (if requested) support of amounts set forth in the invoice and such other supporting detail as requested. 

(ii) The Partnership Group will pay the Administrative Fee within 10 days after the receipt of the invoice therefor (the
“Partnership Invoice Payment Date”). The Partnership Group shall not offset any amounts owing to it by Noble or any of its Affiliates against the Administrative Fee payable hereunder. 

3.3 Reimbursement of General and Administrative Expenses. In addition to the Administrative Fee payable under
Section 3.2, to the extent that Noble and its Affiliates incur direct third-party expenses for the exclusive benefit of the Partnership Group, the Partnership Group will reimburse Noble and its Affiliates for such
additional out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred (so long as such amounts are invoiced within three months of incurrence). 

3.4 Transition Services. Following the consummation of the IPO, Noble shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend, assign or
otherwise modify the Remaining Vendor Contracts such that a Partnership Group Member is directly contracting with the applicable Third Party vendor under such Remaining Vendor Contracts. Until such time as Noble is able to enter into the
amendments referenced in the foregoing sentence, Noble shall make payments to the vendors under the Remaining Vendor Contracts, and the Partnership shall reimburse Noble for 

  
 16 

 
any such payments made on its behalf. Noble shall provide an invoice to OpCo of all payments made pursuant to the Remaining Vendor Contracts by the NEI Invoice Delivery Date for the
applicable month, and OpCo shall reimburse Noble for all such payments on or before the Partnership Invoice Payment Date for the applicable month. 

ARTICLE IV 
 RIGHT OF
FIRST REFUSAL AND RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER 
 4.1 Right of First Refusal to Purchase Certain Assets. 

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

(b) The Parties acknowledge that all potential Transfers of ROFR Assets pursuant to this Section 4.1 are subject to obtaining any
and all required written consents of Third Parties, including Governmental Authorities. 
 (c) The Partnership shall have the right, in its
sole discretion, to assign its rights under this Section 4.1 to any Affiliate of the Partnership. 
 4.2 ROFR
Procedures and Exceptions.  
 (a) Asset Sale Procedures. The following sets forth the procedure for
Noble to undertake to honor the right of first refusal with respect to the ROFR Assets. Noble’s actions described in this Section 4.2(a) shall be taken by Noble, or Noble shall cause the applicable Noble Energy Group Member to take
such actions. 
 (i) If Noble proposes to Transfer one or more ROFR Assets to any Third Party, then Noble shall promptly give
written notice (a “Disposition Notice”) thereof to the Partnership. The Disposition Notice shall set forth the following information in respect of the proposed Transfer: (1) the name and address of any prospective acquirors
(collectively, the “Proposed Transferee”), (2) the ROFR Assets subject to the Disposition Notice (the “Sale Assets”), (3) the purchase price offered by such Proposed Transferee or, if no Proposed Transferee has
been identified, a commercially reasonable price in the opinion of Noble, in either case including any non-cash consideration (either price described in this clause (3), the “Offer Price”), (4) reasonable detail concerning any
non-cash portion of the Offer Price, if any, to allow the Partnership to reasonably determine the fair market value of such non-cash consideration, and a statement of the estimate of the fair market value of any non-cash consideration in the opinion
of Noble (such term in this Section 4.2 to refer, collectively, to both Noble and the Noble Energy Group Member Transferring the applicable ROFR Asset), and (5) all other material terms and conditions of the Transfer that are then
known to Noble and its Affiliates. To the extent a Proposed Transferee’s offer consists of consideration other than cash (or in addition to cash) the Offer Price shall be deemed equal to the amount of any such cash plus the fair market value of
such non-cash consideration. 

  
 17 

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

(iii) In the event (1) the Offer Price contains non-cash consideration and the Partnership’s determination of the fair
market value of such non-cash consideration described in the Disposition Notice (to be determined by the Partnership on or prior to the First ROFR Asset Acceptance Deadline) is less than the fair market value of such consideration as determined by
Noble in the Disposition Notice and (2) the Partnership and Noble are unable to mutually agree upon the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on or prior to the date that is 15 days after the First ROFR Asset Acceptance Deadline, Noble
and the Partnership shall engage a mutually agreed upon valuation firm to determine the fair market value of the non-cash consideration. If the Partnership and Noble do not agree on the appointment of such valuation firm, each of the Partnership and
Noble shall appoint an independent third party and shall instruct such third party, together with the independent third party appointed by the other Party, to select a valuation firm to perform the valuation hereunder. Such valuation firm shall be
instructed to notify the Partnership and Noble of its decision within 30 days after all material information is submitted thereto, which decision shall be final and binding. The fees of the valuation firm will be split equally between Noble and the
Partnership. The Partnership will provide written notice of its decision regarding the exercise of its right of first refusal to purchase the Sale Assets to Noble within 15 days after the valuation firm has submitted its determination (the
“Second ROFR Asset Acceptance Deadline”). Failure to provide such notice on or prior to the Second ROFR Asset Acceptance Deadline shall be deemed to constitute an affirmative decision by the Partnership not to purchase the Sale
Assets, subject to Section 4.2(f). 
 (iv) If the Partnership fails to exercise a right during any applicable
period set forth in this Section 4.2(a), the Partnership shall be deemed to have waived its right with respect to such proposed disposition of the Sale Assets (subject to Section 4.2(f)), but such waiver shall not extend to
any ROFR Assets that were not Sale Assets. 
 (b) Services Procedures. The following sets forth the procedure for Noble to undertake
to honor the right of first refusal with respect to ROFR Services. Noble’s actions described in this Section 4.2(b) shall be taken by Noble or Noble shall cause the applicable Noble Energy Group Member to take such actions. 

(i) If a Noble Energy Group Member proposes to (x) contract with any Third Party for the provision of ROFR Services to such
Noble Energy Group Member on specified acreage that is ROFR Acreage or (y) continue, extend or renew any existing 

  
 18 

 
contract other than a Revenue Agreement for the provision of ROFR Services to such Noble Energy Group Member on acreage that is ROFR Acreage (either contract described in clauses (x) or (y), a
“Services Contract”), then Noble shall promptly give written notice (a “Services Notice”) thereof to the Partnership. The Services Notice shall set forth the following information in respect of the Services
Contract: (1) the name and address of any prospective provider of ROFR Services (collectively, the “Proposed Provider”), (2) a detailed description of the services subject to the Services Notice (the “Proposed
Services”), (3) the rate proposed to be charged by such Proposed Provider or, if no Proposed Provider has been identified, a commercially reasonable price in the opinion of the Noble Energy Group (either price described in this clause (3),
the “Service Rate”), (4) a description of the area in which the Proposed Services are required (the “Proposed Service Acreage”), (5) the in-service date required by the applicable Noble Energy Group Member, (6)
reasonable detail of any required capital commitments or the build costs to acquire or build any assets necessary to provide the Proposed Services that have been proposed by the Proposed Provider, or, if no Proposed Provider has been identified,
commercially reasonable capital commitments or build costs to acquire or build any assets necessary to provide the Proposed Services in the opinion of the Noble Energy Group; and (7) all other material terms and conditions that have been negotiated
between such Noble Energy Group Member and such Proposed Provider, or, if no Proposed Provider has been identified, any other commercially reasonable terms and conditions in the opinion of the Noble Energy Group. 

(ii) The Partnership will provide written notice of its decision regarding the exercise or non-exercise of its right of first
refusal to provide the Proposed Services within 60 days after its receipt of the Services Notice (the “ROFR Services Acceptance Deadline”). Failure to provide such notice prior to the ROFR Services Acceptance Deadline shall be
deemed to constitute an affirmative decision not to provide the Proposed Services with respect to the Proposed Service Acreage, subject to Section 4.2(f). 

(iii) If the Partnership fails to exercise a right during any applicable period set forth in this Section 4.2(b),
the Partnership shall be deemed to have waived its rights to provide the Proposed Services on the Proposed Service Acreage (subject to Section 4.2(f)), but such waiver shall not extend to ROFR Services that were not described in the
Services Notice and shall not extend to ROFR Acreage that was not included in the Proposed Service Acreage. 
 (c) If the Partnership
chooses to exercise its right of first refusal under Section 4.2(a), the Partnership and Noble shall enter into a definitive agreement for the purchase of the Sale Assets, which shall include the relevant terms included in the
Disposition Notice and other reasonable and customary closing terms and conditions, including the following: 
 (i) with
respect to any Sale Assets, the Partnership will agree to deliver cash for the Offer Price (unless the Partnership and Noble agree that consideration will be paid by means of non-cash consideration); 

  
 19 

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

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

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

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

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

  
 20 

 (e) Noble and the Partnership shall cooperate in good faith in obtaining all necessary approvals,
waivers and consents from Third Parties, including Governmental Authorities, required in connection with the exercise of the Partnership’s rights under this Article IV. 

(f) If (i) the Transfer to any Third Party of any Sale Assets is not consummated on terms substantially similar to the terms set forth in the
Disposition Notice or (ii) the entry into a definitive agreement providing for the provision of Proposed Services by a Third Party has not occurred on terms substantially similar to the terms set forth in the Services Notice, in each case within the
later of (A) 120 days after the last applicable Acceptance Deadline, and (B) 10 days after the satisfaction of all approval or filing requirements with Governmental Authorities, if any, the ROFR Notice shall be deemed to lapse, and no member of
the Noble Energy Group may Transfer any of the Sale Assets or contract with a Third Party to provide the Proposed Services, as applicable, described in the ROFR Notice without complying again with the provisions of this Article IV, and any
purported Transfer to such Third Party or contract for Proposed Services with a Third Party not in compliance with this Article IV shall be null and void. 

(g) If, after the Partnership has waived its rights pursuant to this Article IV or has allowed an Acceptance Deadline to lapse without
the exercise of its rights pursuant to this Article IV, any Noble Energy Group Member proposes to Transfer Sale Assets to a Third Party or contract for the provision of Proposed Services by a Third Party, and such transaction is proposed on
terms materially more favorable to such Third Party than those set forth in the applicable ROFR Notice, such ROFR Notice shall be deemed ineffective, and no member of the Noble Energy Group may effect such Transfer of Sale Assets or contract for
such provision of Proposed Services, as applicable, without complying again with the provisions of this Article IV. 
 (h)
Notwithstanding anything provided herein, the Noble Energy Group shall be allowed to comply with all preexisting dedications, preferential transfer rights, rights of first refusal (or similar encumbrance) and contracts for service that are in
existence on the date that this Agreement becomes effective and on the date that the applicable acreage or asset is acquired by Noble Energy Group (so long as such dedication or contract was not entered into in contemplation of such acquisition).
For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a preexisting encumbrance in favor of a Beneficiary Prohibits Noble from obtaining the applicable ROFR Service from an “affiliate” or Transferring the applicable ROFR Asset to an
“affiliate”, Noble may enter into a Services Contract or applicable Transfer documentation without offering the applicable opportunity to the Partnership Group. As used in this paragraph: 

(i) “Beneficiary” refers to a Person that is not a Noble Energy Group Member or an Partnership Group Member
that is the beneficiary of an encumbrance granted by a Noble Energy Group Member; 
 (ii) “Prohibit”
includes: (x) an express prohibition, (y) requirements that would cause Noble to be in default of a preexisting encumbrance if Noble contracted with an “affiliate”, and (z) requirements that would cause Noble to lose any material benefit
of the applicable encumbrance as a result of contracting with an “affiliate”; 

  
 21 

 (iii) an “affiliate” of Noble shall include the Partnership
Group Members so long as the Beneficiary would consider the Partnership Group Members to be “affiliates”; and 

(iv) an example of a “loss of material benefit” includes: a situation where a preexisting right of first
refusal would permit Noble to contract with an unaffiliated third party but such right of first refusal would convert to a dedication in favor of the Beneficiary in the event that Noble attempted to contract with an “affiliate”. 

(i) Each of the applicable Noble Energy Group Member and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done
all things that may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the consummation of any transactions between a Noble Energy Group Member and a Partnership Group Member contemplated by this Section 4.2, including causing its
respective Affiliates to execute, deliver and perform all documents, notices, amendments, certificates, and consents required in connection therewith. 

4.3 Right of First Offer. 

(a) Noble, on behalf of itself and the Noble Energy Group, hereby grants to the Partnership Group a right of first offer, exercisable at any
time prior to the Rights Termination Date, to purchase all or any part of the ROFO Equity to the extent that Noble proposes to Transfer all or any part of any ROFO Equity; provided, however, that Noble may Transfer all or any part of any ROFO
Equity to a Noble Energy Group Member that agrees in writing that such ROFO Equity remains subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3 and such Noble Energy Group Member assumes the obligations of Noble under this Section 4.3
with respect to such ROFO Equity, and such Transfer shall not be subject to the Partnership Group’s right of first offer. 
 (b) The
Parties acknowledge that any Transfer of all or any part of any ROFO Equity pursuant to the Partnership’s right of first offer is subject to the terms of all existing agreements with respect to the ROFO Equity and shall be subject to and
conditioned on the obtaining of any and all necessary consents of securityholders, Governmental Authorities, lenders or other Third Parties; provided, however, that Noble hereby represents and warrants that, to its knowledge after reasonable
investigation, there are no terms in such agreements that would materially impair the rights granted to the Partnership Group pursuant to this Section 4.3 with respect to any ROFO Equity. 

(c) The Partnership shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to assign its rights under this Section 4.3 to any Affiliate of the
Partnership. 
 4.4 ROFO Procedures. The following sets forth the procedure for Noble and the applicable Noble Energy Group Member to
undertake to honor the right of first offer on the ROFO Equity. Noble’s actions described in this Section 4.4 shall be taken by Noble, or Noble shall cause the applicable Noble Energy Group Member to take such actions. 

(a) If the applicable Noble Energy Group Member proposes to Transfer all or any part of any ROFO Equity to a Third Party prior to the Rights
Termination Date (a “Proposed ROFO Transaction”), the applicable Noble Energy Group Member shall, prior to entering into any such Proposed ROFO Transaction, first give notice in writing to the Partnership (the

  
 22 

 
“ROFO Notice”) of its intention to enter into such Proposed ROFO Transaction. The ROFO Notice shall include any material terms, conditions and details that would be necessary for
the Partnership to make a responsive offer to enter into the Proposed ROFO Transaction with the applicable Noble Energy Group Member, which terms, conditions and details shall at a minimum include any terms, conditions or details that the applicable
Noble Energy Group Member would propose to provide to non-Affiliates in connection with the Proposed ROFO Transaction. If the Partnership determines to purchase the ROFO Equity, the Partnership shall have 60 days following receipt of the ROFO
Notice to propose an offer to enter into the Proposed ROFO Transaction with the applicable Noble Energy Group Member (the “ROFO Response”). The ROFO Response shall set forth the terms and conditions (including the purchase price the
Partnership proposes to pay for the ROFO Equity and the other terms of the purchase) pursuant to which the Partnership would be willing to enter into a binding agreement for the Proposed ROFO Transaction. If no ROFO Response is delivered by the
Partnership within such 60-day period, then the Partnership shall be deemed to have waived its right of first offer with respect to such ROFO Equity subject to Section 4.3. 

(b) Unless the ROFO Response is rejected pursuant to written notice delivered by the applicable Noble Energy Group Member to the Partnership
within 60 days after the delivery to the applicable Noble Energy Group Member of the ROFO Response, such ROFO Response shall be deemed to have been accepted by the applicable Noble Energy Group Member, and the applicable Noble Energy Group Member
shall enter into a definitive agreement with the Partnership providing for the consummation of the Proposed ROFO Transaction upon the terms set forth in the ROFO Response. Unless the applicable Noble Energy Group Member and the Partnership otherwise
agree, the terms of the definitive agreement will include reasonable and customary terms and conditions, including the following: 

(i) the Partnership will deliver the agreed purchase price (in cash, Partnership Interests, an interest-bearing promissory note
or any combination thereof); 
 (ii) the closing date for the purchase of the ROFO Equity shall occur no later than 120 days
following receipt by the applicable Noble Energy Group Member of the ROFO Response pursuant to Section 4.3(a); 

(iii) each of the applicable Noble Energy Group Member and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do or
cause to be done all things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to effectuate the consummation of any transactions between a Noble Energy Group Member and a Partnership Group Member contemplated by this Section 4.4, including
causing its respective Affiliates to execute, deliver and perform all documents, notices, amendments, certificates, instruments and consents required in connection therewith; and 

(iv) neither the applicable Noble Energy Group Member nor the Partnership shall have any obligation to consummate the Proposed
ROFO Transaction if any consent referred to in Section 4.3 has not been obtained. 
 (c) If the Partnership has not timely delivered
a ROFO Response as specified in this Section 4.4 with respect to a Proposed ROFO Transaction that is subject to a ROFO Notice, the 

  
 23 

 
applicable Noble Energy Group Member shall be free to enter into a Proposed ROFO Transaction with any Third Party on terms and conditions no more favorable to such Third Party than those set
forth in the ROFO Notice. If the applicable Noble Energy Group Member rejects a ROFO Response with respect to any Proposed ROFO Transaction, the applicable Noble Energy Group Member shall be free to enter into a Proposed ROFO Transaction with any
Third Party (i) on terms and conditions (excluding those relating to price) that are not more favorable in the aggregate to such Third Party than those proposed by the Partnership Group in the ROFO Response and (ii) at a price equal to no less than
100% of the price offered by the Partnership in the ROFO Response to the applicable Noble Energy Group Member. If a Proposed ROFO Transaction with a Third Party is not consummated as provided in this Section 4.4(c) within the later of
(A) 180 days after the expiration of the 60-day period set forth in Section 4.4(a) or the applicable Noble Energy Group Member’s delivery of notice rejecting the ROFO Response, as applicable, and (B) 10 days after the satisfaction of all
approval or filing requirements with Governmental Authorities, if any, the ROFO Notice shall be deemed to lapse, and no member of the Noble Energy Group may enter into a Proposed ROFO Transaction with a Third Party without complying again with the
provisions of this Article IV, and any purported consummation of a Proposed ROFO Transaction with a Third Party not in compliance with this Article IV shall be null and void.

extent permitted by law, the Disclosing Party of such requirement or obligation to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the Receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective in order that, where
possible, the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the Disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. The Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential
Information that it is required or obligated to disclose and shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party in allowing the Disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief.

more of the covenants contained in this Section 6.1 and agrees that, in the event of such breach, the Disclosing Party may, in addition to the other remedies that may be available to it, apply to a court for an injunction

 ARTICLE 2 

SECONDMENT 
 2.1
Noble shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Partnership Parties the Seconded Persons to (a) perform the activities related to the Partnership Parties’ respective obligations under each of the agreements listed in Exhibit A and
(b) otherwise perform the day-to-day management of the business conducted, or to be conducted, by the Partnership Parties, as described in Exhibit A and (c) to design, build, construct and otherwise install the infrastructure required by (or
necessary or convenient to provide the services required under) the agreements listed in Exhibit A ((a) through (c) collectively referred to herein as the “Services”). 

2.2 Subject to Noble’s right to be reimbursed for such expenses in accordance with this Agreement, Noble shall pay (or shall cause
NESI to pay) all expenses incurred by it in connection with the retention of the Seconded Persons, including, but not limited to, Seconded Employee compensation, salaries, wages and overhead and administrative expenses, charged to or incurred by
Noble or NESI, and, if applicable, social security taxes, workers compensation insurance, retirement and insurance benefits and other such expenses. Any Seconded Employees retained by the Noble Entities may be union or non-union employees, and the
Noble Entities shall have the sole right to negotiate the terms and provisions of any labor or other agreements with the unions to which such employees belong. 

2.3 Noble shall provide, or cause to be provided, such suitably qualified and experienced Seconded Persons as Noble is able to make
available to the Partnership Parties, and the Partnership Parties shall have the right to approve such Seconded Persons. 
 2.4
During the term of this Agreement, Noble or NESI shall second employees of the Noble Entities that provide the Services to the Partnership Parties. Each employee who Noble or NESI seconds to the Partnership Parties shall, during the time that such
employee is seconded to the Partnership Parties under this Agreement (the “Period of Secondment”), be referred to individually herein as a “Seconded Employee” and, collectively, as the “Seconded
Employees.” 
 2.5 During the term of this Agreement, Noble shall second, or cause to be seconded, contractors of the Noble
Entities that provide the Services to the Partnership Parties. Each such contractor shall, during the Period of Secondment, be referred to individually herein as a “Seconded Contractor” and, collectively, as the “Seconded
Contractors,” and together with the Seconded Employees, the “Seconded Persons.” 
 2.6 The Seconded
Employees will remain at all times employees of the Noble Entities, but, in addition, during the Period of Secondment, they will also be joint employees of the Partnership Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that Seconded
Persons may, during the Period of Secondment, be called upon to perform services for both the Partnership Parties and the Noble Entities. The Noble Entities retain the right to terminate the Secondment of any Seconded Persons for any reason at any
time or to discharge the Seconded Employees with respect to their employment with the Noble Entities. The Partnership Parties will have the right to terminate the Secondment to it of any Seconded Persons for any reason at any time, upon prior
written notice to Noble, but at no time will the Partnership Parties have the right to terminate any Seconded Employee’s employment by a Noble Entity or a Seconded Contractor’s independent contractor relationship with a Noble Entity. Upon
the termination of the Secondment of any Seconded Persons, such Seconded Persons will cease performing Services for the Partnership Parties. 

2.7 In the course and scope of performing any job functions for the Partnership Parties, each Seconded Employee will report into the
Partnership Parties’ management structure, and will be under the 

  
 4 

 
direct management, supervision and control of the Partnership Parties with respect to such Seconded Employee’s performance of the Services, with Seconded Contractors remaining at the
direction of the respective contractor. No Seconded Persons shall have the authority or apparent authority to act on behalf of any Noble Entity in connection with the performance of the Services during any Period of Secondment. 

2.8 Those Seconded Employees who serve as supervisors or managers and who are called upon to oversee the work of other Seconded
Employees providing or to otherwise provide management support on behalf of the Parties are designated by the Partnership Parties as supervisors to act on the behalf of the Partnership Parties in supervising the Seconded Employees pursuant to
Section 2.7 above. Any such Seconded Employee will be acting on the behalf of the Partnership Parties when supervising the work of the Seconded Employees or when they are otherwise providing management or executive support on behalf of the
Partnership Parties. 
 2.9 Noble shall, or shall cause a Noble Entity to, obtain workers’ compensation coverage as defined and
required by law on behalf of both the Noble Entities and the Partnership Parties. 
 2.10 The Partnership Parties may terminate any
of the Services performed by Seconded Persons on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Noble. In the event the Partnership Parties, or any of them, terminates such Services, the Partnership Parties shall pay Noble the Services Reimbursement
(as defined below) for the last month (or portion thereof) in which it received such terminated Services. Upon payment thereof, the Partnership Parties shall have no further Services payment obligations to Noble pursuant to this Agreement with
respect to such terminated Services. 
 2.11 No member of the Partnership Parties shall be deemed to be a participating employer in
any Benefit Plans during the Period of Secondment. Subject to the Partnership Parties’ reimbursement obligations hereunder, Noble (or another Noble Entity) shall remain solely responsible for all obligations and liabilities arising under the
express terms of the Benefit Plans, and the Seconded Employees will be covered under the Benefit Plans subject to and in accordance with their respective terms and conditions, as they may be amended from time to time. Noble and its ERISA Affiliates
may amend or terminate any Benefit Plans in whole or in part at any time (subject to the applicable provisions of any collective bargaining agreement covering Seconded Employees, if any). During the Period of Secondment, no member of the Partnership
Parties shall assume any Benefit Plans or have any obligations, liabilities or rights arising under the express terms of the Benefit Plans, in each case except for cost reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement. 

ARTICLE 3 
 EXPENSE
REIMBURSEMENT 
 3.1 The Partnership Parties shall reimburse Noble or NESI, as applicable, for all reimbursable expenses under
Section 3.2 incurred by the Noble Entities with respect to Seconded Persons, as applicable (including, where applicable, former Seconded Employees), in connection with the performance of the Services during the preceding period (the
“Services Reimbursement”). The Services Reimbursement shall be made on a monthly basis or at such other intervals as the Parties may agree from time to time. 

3.2 (a) The Services Reimbursement with respect to Seconded Employees for each period during the Period of Secondment shall include all
reasonable costs and expenses (including administrative costs) incurred for such period by Noble Entities for the Seconded Employees (including, where applicable, former Seconded Employees), including but not limited to the following costs and
expenses set forth below: 
  

	 	(i)	salary, wages and cash bonuses (including payroll and withholding taxes associated therewith); 

  
 5 

	 	(ii)	amounts paid with respect any Seconded Employee’s paid leave of absence; 

  

	 	(iii)	contributions made by a Noble Entity towards any Benefit Plans; 

  

	 	(iv)	the value of equity-related compensation granted to Seconded Employees during the Period of Secondment; 

  

	 	(v)	any other employee benefit or compensation arrangement customarily provided to all employees by Noble for which Noble incurs costs with respect to Seconded Employees; and 

 

	 	(vi)	business travel expenses and other business expenses reimbursed in the normal course by Noble, such as subscriptions to business-related periodicals and dues to professional business organizations. 

The costs and expenses described in this Section 3.2(a) are referred to as “Seconded Employee Expenses.” Where it is not reasonably
practicable to determine the amount of such a cost or expense, the Partnership Parties and Noble shall mutually agree on the method of determining or estimating such cost or expense. If the actual amount of any cost or expense, once known, varies
from the estimate used for billing purposes hereunder, the difference, once determined, shall be reflected as either a credit or additional charge in the next monthly invoice issued by a Noble Entity, or in such manner as may be otherwise agreed
between Noble and the GP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that to determine the value of a Second Employee’s non-wage benefits described in subsections (iii) and (v) of this Section 3.2(a), they will apply an agreed percentage
benefit load, based on the value of employee benefits provided to all employees of the Noble Entities. 
 (b) The Services Reimbursement with respect to
Seconded Contractors for each period during the Period of Secondment shall include, on a pass-through basis, all costs and expenses attributable to the performance of the Services incurred for such period by Noble Entities with respect to the
Seconded Contractors. The costs and expenses described in this Section 3.2(b) are referred to as “Seconded Contractor Expenses,” and together with the Seconded Employee Expenses, the “Seconded Person Expenses.” 

3.3 With respect to those Seconded Persons who perform services for both the Noble Entities and the Partnership Parties, the Parties
will determine in good faith the percentage of such Seconded Person’s time spent providing services to the Partnership Parties (the “Allocation Percentage”). For each month, or other time interval agreed to by the Parties,
during the Period of Secondment, the amount of the Services Reimbursement payable by the Partnership Parties with respect to each Seconded Person shall be calculated by multiplying the Seconded Person Expenses for such Seconded Person times the
Allocation Percentage for such Seconded Person; provided, however, that travel expenses and other expenses incurred with respect to and/or reimbursable to a Seconded Person shall be paid by the Party for whom the Seconded Person was working at the
time they were incurred, except that expenses related to activities that benefit both the Partnership Parties and Noble Entities (e.g. some types of training) shall be shared by the affected Parties in accordance with the Allocation Percentage (or
such other allocation as may be agreed between the affected Parties). 
 3.4 The Partnership Parties and Noble acknowledge and agree
that Noble shall be responsible for paying the Seconded Employee Expenses (or providing the employee benefits with respect thereto, as 

  
 6 

 
applicable) to the Seconded Employees and that the Noble Entities may be responsible for paying the Seconded Contractor Expenses to the respective contractor, but that the Partnership Parties
shall be responsible for reimbursing the Noble Entities for the Seconded Person Expenses (as part of the Services Reimbursement) to the extent provided under Section 3.2 of this Agreement. 

3.5 This Agreement does not address the reimbursement of any costs or expenses associated with Services other than the Services
Reimbursement. To the extent that a Noble Entity incurs any out-of-pocket expenses (other than the Services Reimbursement) in connection with the provision of Services, such Noble Entity may be entitled to reimbursement therefor under the terms of
the Partnership Agreement, the Omnibus Agreement or other documentation. 
 ARTICLE 4 

ALLOCATION; RECORDS 
 Noble
will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) establish the Allocation Percentage and to the document the basis for such allocation and (ii) maintain a schedule reflecting the direct and indirect costs of the Seconded Person Expenses based on the
Services that the Seconded Persons have provided to the Partnership Parties. The Partnership Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep and maintain books/records reflecting the hours worked in connection with each of the Seconded
Persons. Each Party will have the right to audit such records maintained by the other during regular business hours and on reasonable prior notice. 

ARTICLE 5 
 TERM 

The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue for an initial period of fifteen (15) years (the
“Initial Term”). Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, the term of this Agreement shall automatically extend for successive one year extension terms, unless either Party provides at least thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice to the other Party prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any extension term that the Party wishes for this Agreement to expire at the end of the Initial Term or the then-current extension term, as applicable. Upon proper
notice by a Party to the other Party, in accordance with this Article 5, that the Party wishes for this Agreement to expire on the expiration of the applicable period, this Agreement shall not automatically extend, but shall instead expire
upon the expiration of the applicable period and only those provisions that, by their terms, expressly survive this Agreement shall so survive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership Parties may terminate this Agreement at any time upon
written notice to Noble stating the date of termination and only those provisions that, by their terms, expressly survive this Agreement shall so survive. 

ARTICLE 6 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS 
 6.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes and expresses the entire agreement between the
Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. All previous discussions, promises, representations and understandings relative thereto are hereby merged in and superseded by this Agreement. 

6.2 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Texas without regard to principles of conflict of laws. 

  
 7 

 6.3 Amendment. Any actions or agreement by the Parties to amend, modify or
supplement this Agreement, in whole or in part, shall be binding upon the Parties, so long as such modification shall be in writing and shall be executed by all Parties with the same formality with which this Agreement was executed. 

6.4 Waiver. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended,
by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently given for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any Party, it is in writing signed by an authorized representative of such Party. The
failure of any Party to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, or in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to
enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. 

6.5 Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision or provisions shall be ineffective to the
extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable. 

6.6 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their
successors and permitted assigns. The successors and permitted assigns hereunder shall include any permitted assignee under Section 6.10 as well as the successors in interest to such permitted assignee (whether by merger, liquidation
(including successive mergers or liquidations) or otherwise). 
 6.7 Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of
this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Noble Entities and the Partnership Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall not confer upon any third party any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement or other
right. In furtherance but not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to provide any Seconded Employee or Seconded Contractor with a right to continued Secondment or employment; and (ii) nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an amendment to any Benefit Plans or limit in any way the right of Noble and/or its ERISA Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate, in whole or in part, any Benefit Plans which may be in effect from time to
time. 
 6.8 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in
