THIS RESTRICTED
STOCK AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made this 20th day of February, 2018, between Home Bistro, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and Zalmi Scher Duchman (the "Executive").

RECITALS

WHEREAS,
the Executive and the Company have entered into that certain Executive Employment Agreement, of even date herewith, providing for
the employment of Executive by the Company (“Employment Agreement”); and

WHEREAS,
the Company and the Executive wish to further provide for the terms and conditions upon which the Company will issue certain shares
of its common stock to Executive.

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
of which is mutually acknowledged, the Company and the Executive (individually a “Party” and together the “Parties”)
agree as follows:

1.                 
Purchase of Shares.

The Company shall
issue and sell to the Executive (and to Executive’s wife, as tenants by entirety, if Executive so choses), and the Executive
shall purchase from the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, sixteen thousand one-hundred
and seventy-three shares (the "Shares") of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company ("Common Stock"),
at a total purchase price of $10.00. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares shall be paid by the Executive by check payable
to the order of the Company or such other method as may be acceptable to the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of payment for
the Shares, the Company shall issue to the Executive (and to Executive’s wife, as tenants by entirety, if Executive so choses)
one or more certificates in the name of the Executive and Executive’s wife for that number of Shares purchased by the Executive.
The Executive agrees that the Shares shall be subject to the purchase options set forth in Sections 2 and 5 of this Agreement and
the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement. The number and price per share of Shares shall be subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 11.

2.                 
Purchase Option.

(a)              
In the event that the Executive ceases to be the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company due to termination
with cause or Executive terminates his employment, the Company shall have the right and option (the "Purchase Option")
to purchase from the Executive, for the value paid by Executive and Executive’s nominee (the "Option Price).

If the Executive
ceases to be the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company anytime during the first year of the Term (as defined in
the Employment Agreement), all of the Stock shall be exercisable with the Purchase Option.

    

     

    

 

If the Executive
ceases to be the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company anytime during the second year of the Term (as defined in
the Employment Agreement), two-thirds (2/3) all of the Stock shall be exercisable with the Purchase Option.

If the Executive
ceases to be the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company anytime during the third year of the Term (as defined in
the Employment Agreement), one-third (1/3) of the Stock shall be exercisable with the Purchase Option.

(b)              
In the event that the Executive's service as President & CEO of the Company is terminated by reason of death or disability,
the number of the Shares for which the Purchase Option becomes exercisable shall be applicable as described in Section 2.(a) herein.
For this purpose, "disability" shall have the meaning set forth in the Employment Agreement.

3.                 
Exercise of Purchase Option and Closing.

(a)              
The Company may exercise the Purchase Option by delivering or mailing to the Executive within 10 days after the termination
of the Executive's service to the Company, a written notice of exercise of the Purchase Option. Such notice shall specify the number
of Shares to be purchased. If and to the extent the Purchase Option is not so exercised by the giving of such a notice within such
10-day period, the Purchase Option shall automatically expire and terminate effective upon the expiration of such 10-day period.

(b)              
Within 10 days after delivery to the Executive of the Company's notice of the exercise of the Purchase Option pursuant to
subsection (a) above, the Executive (or his estate) shall, pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Escrow Instructions referred
to in Section 7 below, tender to the Company at its principal offices the certificate or certificates representing the Shares which
the Company has elected to purchase in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, duly endorsed in blank or with duly endorsed
stock powers attached thereto, all in form suitable for the transfer of such Shares to the Company. Promptly following its receipt
of such certificate or certificates, the Company shall pay to the Executive the aggregate Option Price for such Shares (provided
that any delay in making such payment shall not invalidate the Company's exercise of the Purchase Option with respect to such Shares).

(c)              
After the time at which any Shares are required to be delivered to the Company for transfer to the Company pursuant to subsection
(b) above, the Company shall not pay any dividend to the Executive on account of such Shares or permit the Executive to exercise
any of the privileges or rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, but shall, in so far as permitted by law, treat the
Company as the owner of such Shares.

(d)              
The Option Price may be payable, at the option of the Company, in cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness
of the Executive to the Company or in cash (by check) or both.

(e)              
The Company shall not purchase any fraction of a Share upon exercise of the Purchase Option, and any fraction of a Share
resulting from a computation made pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement shall be rounded to the nearest whole Share (with any
one-half Share being rounded upward).

(f)               
The Company may assign its Purchase Option to one or more persons or entities.

(g)              
The number or Purchase Options and the Option Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11.

4.                 
Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)              
The Executive shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise
(collectively "transfer") any Shares, or any interest therein, that are subject to the Purchase Option, except that the
Executive may transfer such Shares (i) to or for the benefit of any spouse, children, parents, uncles, aunts, siblings, grandchildren
and any other relatives approved by the Board of Directors (collectively, "Approved Relatives") or to a trust approved
by the Board of Directors established solely for the benefit of the Executive and/or Approved Relatives (“Approved Trust”),
provided that such Shares shall remain subject to this Agreement (including without limitation the restrictions on transfer
set forth in this Section 4, the Purchase Option and the right of first refusal set forth in Section 5) and such permitted transferee
shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument confirming that such transferee shall be bound
by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) as part of the sale of all or substantially all of the shares of capital
stock of the Company (including pursuant to a merger or consolidation), provided that the securities or other property received
by the Executive in connection with such transaction shall remain subject to this Agreement.

(b)              
The Executive shall not transfer any Shares, or any interest therein, that are no longer subject to the Purchase Option,
except in accordance with Section 5 below.

5.                 
Right of First Refusal.

(a)              
If the Executive proposes to transfer any Shares that are no longer subject to the Purchase Option (either because they
are no longer Unvested Shares or because the Purchase Option expired unexercised) and such transfer would be to a bona fide purchaser,
then the Executive shall first give written notice of the proposed transfer (the "Transfer Notice") to the Company. The
Transfer Notice shall name the proposed transferee and state the number of such Shares the Executive proposes to transfer (the
"Offered Shares"), the price per share and all other material terms and conditions of the transfer.

(b)              
For 10 days following its receipt of such Transfer Notice, the Company shall have the option to purchase all or part of
the Offered Shares at the price and upon the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. In the event the Company elects to purchase
all or part of the Offered Shares, it shall give written notice of such election to the Executive within such 10-day period. Within
10 days after receipt of such notice, the Executive shall tender to the Company at its principal offices the certificate or certificates
representing the Offered Shares to be purchased by the Company, duly endorsed in blank by the Executive or with duly endorsed stock
powers attached thereto, all in a form suitable for transfer of the Offered Shares to the Company. Promptly following receipt of
such certificate or certificates, the Company shall deliver or mail to the Executive a check in payment of the purchase price for
such Offered Shares; provided that if the terms of payment set forth in the Transfer Notice were other than cash against
delivery, the Company may pay for the Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions as were set forth in the Transfer Notice;
and provided further that any delay in making such payment shall not invalidate the Company's exercise of its option to
purchase the Offered Shares.

(c)              
If the Company does not elect to acquire all of the Offered Shares, the Executive may, within the 30-day period following
the expiration of the option granted to the Company under subsection (b) above, transfer the Offered Shares which the Company has
not elected to acquire to the proposed transferee, provided that such transfer shall not be on terms and conditions more
favorable to the transferee than those contained in the Transfer Notice. Notwithstanding any of the above, all Offered Shares transferred
pursuant to this Section 5 shall remain subject to this Agreement (including without limitation the restrictions on transfer set
forth in Section 4 and the right of first refusal set forth in this Section 5) and such transferee shall, as a condition to such
transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument confirming that such transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.

    3

     

    

 

(d)              
After the time at which the Offered Shares are required to be delivered to the Company for transfer to the Company pursuant
to subsection (b) above, the Company shall not pay any dividend to the Executive on account of such Offered Shares or permit the
Executive to exercise any of the privileges or rights of a stockholder with respect to such Offered Shares, but shall, insofar
as permitted by law, treat the Company as the owner of such Offered Shares.

(e)              
The following transactions shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section 5:

(1)              
a transfer of Shares to or for the benefit of any Approved Relatives, or to an Approved Trust established solely for the
benefit of the Executive and/or Approved Relatives;

(2)              
any transfer pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"); and

(3)              
the sale of all or substantially all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (including pursuant to a
merger or consolidation),

provided, however,
that in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (1) above, such Shares shall remain subject to this Agreement (including without
limitation the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4 and the right of first refusal set forth in this Section 5) and
such transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument confirming that such transferee
shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(f)               
The Company may assign its rights to purchase Offered Shares in any particular transaction under this Section 5 to one or
more persons or entities.

(g)              
The provisions of this Section 5 shall terminate upon the earlier of the following events:

(1)              
the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration
statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act; or

(2)              
the sale of all or substantially all of the outstanding shares of capital stock, assets or business of the Company, by merger,
consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise (other than a merger or consolidation in which all or substantially all of the individuals
and entities who were beneficial owners of the Company's voting securities immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own,
directly or indirectly, more than 50% (determined on an as-converted basis) of the outstanding securities entitled to vote generally
in the election of directors of the resulting, surviving or acquiring corporation in such transaction).

(h)              
The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any of the Shares which shall have been sold or transferred
in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to pay dividends
to any transferee to whom any such Shares shall have been so sold or transferred.

The Executive agrees,
in connection with an underwritten initial public offering of the Company's securities pursuant to a registration statement under
the Securities Act, (a) not to sell, make short sale of, loan, grant any options for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any
shares of Common Stock held by the Executive (other than those shares included in the offering) without the prior written consent
of the Company or the underwriters managing such initial underwritten public offering of the Company's securities for a period
of 180 days from the effective date of such registration statement, and (b) to execute an agreement to effect the substance of
clause (a) above as may be requested by the Company or the managing underwriters at the time of such offering.

7.                 
Escrow.

The Executive shall,
upon the execution of this Agreement, execute Joint Escrow Instructions in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2.
The Joint Escrow Instructions shall be delivered to the Secretary (or duly authorized officer) of the Company, as escrow agent
thereunder. The Executive shall deliver to such escrow agent a stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, in the form attached to
this Agreement as Exhibit 3, and hereby instructs the Company to deliver to such escrow agent, on behalf of the Executive,
the certificate(s) evidencing the Shares issued hereunder. Such materials shall be held by such escrow agent pursuant to the terms
of such Joint Escrow Instructions.

8.                 
Restrictive Legends.

All certificates
representing Shares shall have affixed thereto legends in substantially the following form, in addition to any other legends that
may be required under federal or state securities laws:

"The shares of stock represented
by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer and an option to purchase set forth in a certain Restricted Stock Agreement
between the corporation and the registered owner of these shares (or her predecessor in interest), and such Agreement is available
for inspection without charge at the office of the Secretary of the corporation."

"The shares represented by
this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the corporation
to the effect that such registration is not required."

9.                 
Investment Representations.

The Executive represents, warrants and
covenants as follows:

(a)              
The Executive is purchasing the Shares for his and his wife’s own account for investment only, and not with a view
to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act, or any rule or regulation
under the Securities Act.

(b)              
The Executive has had such opportunity as he has deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the Company such information
as is necessary to permit him to evaluate the merits and risks of her investment in the Company.

(c)              
The Executive has sufficient experience in business, financial and investment matters to be able to evaluate the risks involved
in the purchase of the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such purchase.

(d)              
The Executive can afford a complete loss of the value of the Shares and is able to bear the economic risk of holding such
Shares for an indefinite period.

(e)              
The Executive understands that (i) the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and are "restricted
securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; (ii) the Shares cannot be sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is then available;
and (iii) there is now no registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to any stock
of the Company and the Company has no obligation to register the Shares under the Securities Act.

    5

     

    

 

10.             
Taxes; Section 83(b) Election.

The Executive has
reviewed with the Executive's own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Executive is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations
of the Company or any of its agents. The Executive understands that the Executive (and not the Company) shall be responsible for
the Executive's own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
The Executive understands that it may be beneficial in many circumstances to elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are purchased
rather than when and as the Company's Purchase Option expires by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 with the I.R.S. within 30 days from the date of purchase.

THE EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT IS SOLELY THE EXECUTIVE'S RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF
THE EXECUTIVE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE EXECUTIVE'S BEHALF.

11.             
Changes to the Company; Adjustments.

(a)              
The existence of outstanding Shares or Purchase Options shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or
its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, stock splits, reorganizations or other changes
in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issuance of bonds,
debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution
or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act
or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

(b)              
If the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock
dividend, stock split or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding, without receiving
consideration therefore in money, services or property, then the number, class, and per share price of shares of Common Stock subject
to outstanding Shares or Purchase Options hereunder, and the maximum number of shares for which Shares or Purchase Options may
be exercised, repurchased or issued hereunder, shall be appropriately and proportionately adjusted.

(c)              
If the Company is merged or consolidated with another entity or sells or otherwise disposes of substantially all of its
assets to another company while Shares or Purchase Options remain outstanding under this Agreement, unless provisions are made
in connection with such transaction for the continuance of this Agreement and/or the assumption or substitution of such Shares
or Purchase Options with new options or shares of stock covering the stock of the successor company, or parent or subsidiary thereof,
with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices, then all outstanding Shares or Purchase Options which
have not been continued, assumed or for which a substituted issuance has not been made shall, whether or not vested or then exercisable,
terminate immediately as of the effective date of any such merger, consolidation or sale.

(d)              
Except as previously expressly provided, neither the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services either upon direct sale or upon
the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible
into such shares or other securities, nor the increase or decrease of the number of authorized shares of stock, nor the addition
or deletion of classes of stock, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number,
class or price of shares of Common Stock then subject to outstanding Shares or Purchase Options.

    6

     

    

 

12.             
Miscellaneous.

(a)              
No Rights to Service as CEO. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of the Shares pursuant to Section
2 hereof is earned only by continuing service as President & CEO of the Company (not through the act of purchasing shares hereunder).
The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein
do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued service to the Company for the vesting period, for any period, or
at all.

(b)              
Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable
to the extent permitted by law.

(c)              
Waiver. Any provision for the benefit of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived, either generally
or in any particular instance, by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(d)              
Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Executive and
their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, subject to the restrictions on
transfer set forth in Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement.

(e)

or addresses as either party shall designate to the other in accordance with this Section 12(e).

(f)               
Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine,
feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa.

(g)              
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(h)              
Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both the Company and
the Executive.

(i)                
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of Delaware without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.

(j)                
Executive's Acknowledgments. The Executive acknowledges that he: (i) has read this Agreement; (ii) has been represented

Exhibit 10.5

SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE SUCH TERMS ARE BOTH NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO EQUITRANS MIDSTREAM CORPORATION AND EQM MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, LP IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.  THESE REDACTED TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED IN THIS EXHIBIT AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH THREE ASTERISKS [***].
CREDIT LETTER AGREEMENT
This agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) is made as of February 26, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and between EQT Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (“EQT”), and EQM Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“EQM”).  EQT and EQM are referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” and each, individually, as a “Party.” 
WHEREAS, EQT, EQT Energy, LLC (“EE”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of EQT, EQT Production Company (“EQT Production”), a Pennsylvania corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of EQT, and Rice Drilling B LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of EQT (collectively, the “EQT Parties”), and EQM Gathering Opco, LLC (“EQM Gathering Opco”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of EQM, entered into that certain Gas Gathering and Compression Agreement, effective as of April 1, 2020 (the “GGA”), whereby the EQT Parties dedicated production in West Virginia and Pennsylvania for gathering by EQM Gathering Opco in exchange for certain commercial terms; 
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the terms relating to credit support obligations with respect to certain existing agreements between each of EQT and EQM and certain of their affiliates;
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the terms relating to credit support obligations with respect to certain other existing agreements between each of EQT and EQM and certain of their affiliates; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth certain additional agreements relating to credit support obligations under that certain Second Restated Credit Agreement, effective as of December 20, 2017, by and between EE and Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC, Series A, a Delaware limited liability company operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of EQM (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “MVP Agreement”). 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein and in the GGA, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
ARTICLE 1
CREDIT SUPPORT AGREEMENTS
Section 1.1    Amendments to the EQM Controlled Agreements. 

1

(a)The Parties acknowledge and agree that, effective as of the Effective Date, each of the agreements set forth on Exhibit A-1 (the “Controlled Agreements”) shall be deemed amended as necessary to include the credit support terms set forth under Section 5.5 of the GGA (including the Minimum Credit Standard) (such terms, the “GGA Credit Support Obligations”), mutatis mutandis, other than with respect to the amount of any credit support obligation under any Controlled Agreement (which shall not be deemed amended).  To the extent any adequate assurance provision or other credit support obligations set forth in any Controlled Agreement conflict with the GGA Credit Support Obligations, then the GGA Credit Support Obligations shall control to the extent of such conflict.  The amendment of each Controlled Agreement under this Section 1.1(a) shall be effective until the earlier of: (i) the execution of the formal amendment of such Controlled Agreement pursuant to Section 1.1(b) and (ii) the expiration of this Letter Agreement pursuant to Section 2.2.
(b)    On or prior to March 27, 2020, the Parties shall prepare and execute (or cause their applicable affiliate(s) to execute) a formal amendment to each Controlled Agreement replacing all existing credit support obligations (other than the amount of any credit support) with the GGA Credit Support Obligations; provided that the amount of any credit support obligations as set forth in the formal amendment to each Controlled Agreement shall be reasonably determined by the Parties consistent with how the credit support amount was determined by the Parties in the GGA.  
Section 1.2    Amendment to the JV Agreements.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that within 15 days following the Effective Date, the Parties shall prepare an amendment to each of the agreements set forth on Exhibit A-2 (the “JV Agreements”) replacing the credit support obligations set forth in each such JV Agreement (other than the amount of any credit support obligations thereunder) with the GGA Credit Support Obligations (each, a “JV Agreement Amendment”).  EQM and EQT shall each cooperate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable counterparties to each JV Agreement to approve and execute each of the JV Agreement Amendments on or before March 27, 2020; provided that EQT acknowledges that EQM does not control the actions of certain of the counterparties to the JV Agreements and EQM shall have no liability to EQT (other than for failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 1.2) in the event that the Parties are unable to successfully negotiate for an amendment to any of the JV Agreements in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.2.
Section 1.3    Cooperation on Amendment of MVP Credit Obligations.  EQM acknowledges and agrees that concurrently with the execution of this Letter Agreement, EQM shall execute and cause its applicable subsidiaries to execute, a Letter Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “MVP Letter Agreement”) amending EQT’s credit support obligations under the MVP Agreement.  Following the Effective Date, EQM shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of the counterparties set forth in the MVP Letter Agreement to execute such MVP Letter Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date or, if such counterparties refuse to sign the MVP Letter Agreement, EQM shall continue to use reasonable best efforts to cause such counterparties (including Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC) to execute an amendment to the MVP Agreement that provides for the same credit support obligations of EQT as set forth in the MVP Letter Agreement; provided that EQT acknowledges that EQM does not control certain actions of such counterparties (including Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC) and EQM shall have no liability (other than for failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 1.3) 

2

to EQT in the event that the Parties are unable to successfully execute the MVP Letter Agreement or otherwise amend the MVP Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.3.
Section 1.4    Guarantees.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that following the execution hereof, the guarantees set forth on Exhibit B shall remain in effect and unchanged.
ARTICLE 2
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 2.1    Defined Terms.  Defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the GGA. 
Section 2.2    Term.  This Letter Agreement shall remain in effect until the earlier of (i) the date on which each of the amendments in Section 1.1, and Section 1.2 have been executed or (ii) the termination of the GGA in accordance with its terms. 
Section 2.3    Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
(a)    This Letter 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 among any of the Parties arising out of this Letter Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be in any state or federal court in the City of Pittsburgh and County of Allegheny, 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 Letter Agreement.  The Parties further agree that the Parties shall not bring suit with respect to any disputes arising out of this Letter Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court or jurisdiction other than the above specified courts.
Section 2.4    Limitation of Liability.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS LETTER AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SUCH PARTY RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF THIS LETTER AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH THEREOF OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, INDEMNITY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, INCREASED COST OF OPERATIONS, LOSS OF PROFIT OR REVENUE, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS.
Section 2.5    Counterpart Execution.  This Letter Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original, and all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument.

This Letter Agreement, including all exhibits hereto, integrates the entire understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter covered and supersedes all prior understandings, drafts, discussions, or statements, whether oral or in writing, expressed or implied, dealing with the same subject matter.  This Letter Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by a written document signed by the Parties that expressly amends this Letter Agreement.  No waiver by a Party of any of the provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly provided.  No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the Party to be charged with such waiver.
Section 2.7    Exhibits.  All exhibits to this Letter Agreement are incorporated into this Letter Agreement as if set forth in full herein. 
Section 2.8    Miscellaneous Provisions. The provisions of Article 18 of the GGA, other than Sections 18.2, 18.3, 18.7, 18.8, 18.15, 18.16 and 18.17, shall apply to this Letter Agreement mutatis mutandis.
