[ Title of Security ]

 

	1.  	Indenture

 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidence
of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Issuer of the series hereinafter specified, which series
is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to [$]____________, all of such Securities issued and to be issued under
an Indenture dated as of ________, _____ (the “Indenture”) between the Issuer and __________________________ as trustee
(the “Trustee”).  Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated.  The
terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the Indenture.  The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are
referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of all such terms.  To the extent permitted by
applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Security and the terms of the Indenture, the terms
of the Indenture shall control.

 

This Security is one of a series of Securities designated pursuant to the Indenture [and
an [Supplemental Indenture] dated _____, _____, issued pursuant to Section 2.01 and Section 2.03 thereof (the “Supplement”)]
as ________________.  The Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Issuer.  The Issuer may, subject
to the provisions of the Indenture and applicable law, issue additional Securities of any series under the Indenture.

 

	2.  	Method of Payment.

 

The Issuer shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted
interest) to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Interest Record Date immediately preceding
the Interest Payment Date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Security subsequent to such Interest Record Date and
prior to such Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Securities to the Trustee to collect principal payments. The Issuer
shall pay Principal and interest in money of [the United States] that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts. [However, the payments of interest, and any portion of the Principal (other than interest payable
at maturity or on any redemption or repayment date or the final payment of Principal) shall be made by the Paying Agent, upon receipt
from the Issuer of immediately available funds by __________ [a./p.m.], New York City time (or such other time as may be
agreed to between the Issuer and the Paying Agent or the Issuer), directly to a Holder (by Federal funds wire transfer or otherwise)
if the Holder has delivered written instructions to the Trustee 15 days prior to such payment date requesting that such payment
will be so made and designating the bank account to which such payments shall be so made and in the case of payments of Principal
surrenders the same to the Trustee in exchange for a Security or Securities aggregating the same principal amount as the unredeemed
principal amount of the Securities surrendered.]

 

	3.  	Redemption.

 

[The Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time [on
or after ______, ______], as a whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer, upon mailing notice of such redemption not
less than 30 and not more than 60 days to the Holders of such Securities, at a redemption price equal to ___________.]

 

	4.  	Paying Agent and Security Registrar

 

Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Security Registrar.  The
Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Security Registrar without notice to the Holders.

 

	5.  	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

 

    	 

     

    

The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations
of [$1,000] and multiples of [$1,000]. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange Securities in accordance
with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents
and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture.
[The Issuer need not register the transfer of or exchange (a) any Securities for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the
first mailing of notice that such Securities are to be redeemed, or (b) any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption
in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be so redeemed.]

 

	6.  	Persons Deemed Owners.

 

The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as the owner
of it for all purposes.

 

	7.  	Unclaimed Funds.

 

If funds for the payment of principal or interest remain unclaimed
for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will repay the funds to the Issuer. After that, all liability of the Trustee and
such Paying Agent with respect to such funds shall cease.

 

	8.  	Defeasance.

 

The Indenture [as amended by the Supplement] contains provisions
for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Issuer on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants
and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Issuer with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions [apply]
to this Security.

 

	9.  	Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Securities of this series, [the
Supplement] and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Securities of this series may be amended or supplemented with the
written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series then outstanding,
and any existing Default or Event of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal amount of or interest on the Securities
of this series, or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of all the Securities of this series, then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties
thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency,
provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, or make any other change that does
not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Security.

 

	10.  	Defaults and Remedies.

 

If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default
with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series then outstanding (voting as a separate class) by notice in writing to the Issuer (and also to the
Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders) may declare [the entire principal] of the Securities of this series and
the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then [the entire principal] of the
Securities then outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall become due and payable immediately in the manner and with
the effect provided in the Indenture.  Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it has received indemnity
satisfactory to it. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may
withhold from Holders of Securities notice of certain continuing Defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest.

 

    	 

     

    

	11.  	Subordination.

 

Reference is made to the Indenture, including, without limitation,
provisions subordinating the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to the prior payment in
full of all Senior Indebtedness as defined in the Indenture.  Such further provisions shall for all purposes have the
same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

 

	12.  	Trustee Dealings with Issuer.

 

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity,
may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer as if it were not the Trustee.

 

	13.  	No Recourse Against Others.

 

No stockholder, director, officer, employee or incorporator, past,
present or future as such, of the Issuer or any predecessor or successor corporation thereof shall have any liability for any obligation
under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
Each Holder of a Security by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

 

	14.  	Authentication.

 

This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs
the certificate of authentication on this Security.

 

	15.  	Abbreviations and Defined Terms.

 

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a
Security or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants
with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

 

	16.  	CUSIP Numbers.

 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the
Holders of the Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Securities and reliance
may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

 

	17.  	Governing Law.

 

The laws of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture and
this Security thereof, and for all purposes this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such
State without regard to any principle of conflict of laws that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other
jurisdiction, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law.

(vii) Non-Extension of Term by Company. Company may give notice of non-extension to Executive pursuant to
Section 2(b). For the avoidance of doubt, non-extension of the Term by Company shall not constitute termination by Company without Cause. 

(viii) Non-Extension of Term by Executive. Executive may give notice of non-extension to Company pursuant to
Section 2(b). For the avoidance of doubt, non-extension of the Term by Executive shall not constitute resignation for Good Reason. 

(b) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment by Company or by Executive under this Section 4
(other than a termination pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) above) shall be communicated by a written notice to the other party: (i) indicating the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) except with
respect to a termination pursuant to Sections 4(a)(iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii)), setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision
so indicated, and (iii) specifying a Date of Termination which, if submitted by Executive (or, in the case of a termination described in Section 4(a)(ii), by Company), shall be at least 30 days following the date of such notice (a
“Notice of Termination”); provided, however, 

  
 6 

 
that a Notice of Termination delivered by Company pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) shall not be required to specify a Date of Termination, in which case the Date of Termination shall be
determined pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii); and provided, further, that if Executive delivers a Notice of Termination (other than a notice of non-extension under Section 4(a)(viii) above) to Company, Company may,
in its sole discretion, accelerate the Date of Termination to any date that occurs following the date of Company’s receipt of such Notice of Termination (even if such date is prior to the date specified in such Notice of Termination). A Notice
of Termination submitted by Company may provide for a Date of Termination on the date Executive receives the Notice of Termination, or any date thereafter elected by Company in its sole discretion. The failure by Company or Executive to set forth in
the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause or Good Reason shall not waive any right of Company or Executive hereunder or preclude Company or Executive from asserting such fact or circumstance in
enforcing Company’s or Executive’s rights hereunder. 
 5. Company Obligations Upon Termination of Employment. 

(a) In General. Upon a termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive (or Executive’s estate) shall be
entitled to receive: (i) any portion of Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination not theretofore paid, (ii) any expenses owed to Executive under Section 3(d), or (e), and (iii) any accrued
and unused PTO owed to Executive pursuant to Section 3(c) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5(b) below, the payments described in this Section 5(a) shall be the only payments and benefits payable in the
event of Executive’s termination of employment for any reason. 
 (b) Severance Payment. 

(i) If Executive’s employment shall be terminated by Company without Cause pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv) or by
Executive’s resignation for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4(a)(v), then, in addition to the payments and benefits described in Section 5(a) above, Company shall, during the Severance Period, pay to Executive (the
“Severance Payment”) the remainder, if any of the Annual Base Salary for the then current Term (for the avoidance of doubt, no Severance Payment is owed if Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause, by Executive
without Good Reason or due to the nonrenewal of the Term); provided, however, if such termination by the Company without Cause pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv) or by Executive’s resignation for Good Reason pursuant to
Section 4(a)(v) occurs following a Change in Control, then the Severance Payment shall be the Annual Base Salary for the Restricted Period. 

(ii) The Severance Payment shall be in lieu of notice or any other severance benefits to which Executive might otherwise be
entitled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) no portion of the Severance Payment shall be paid unless, on or prior to the 60th day following the Date of Termination,
Executive timely executes a general waiver and release of claims agreement in the form attached to this Agreement with only such changes as are needed to reflect the actual Severance Payment (and any other severance arrangements) or which outside
counsel to the Company opines are required to comply with then applicable law (the “Release”), which Release shall not have been revoked by Executive and all applicable revocations periods shall have expired, and (B)

  
 7 

 
as of the first date on which Executive violates any covenant contained in Section 7, any remaining unpaid portion of the Severance Payment shall thereupon be forfeited. Subject to
the provisions of Section 9, the Severance Payment shall be paid in a lump sum, at the same time and in the same manner as the Annual Base Salary would have been paid no later than the
60th day following the Date of Termination, in accordance with Company’s normal payroll practices in effect on the Date of Termination. 

(c) Provisions of this Section 5 shall supersede in their entirety any severance payment provisions in any severance plan, policy,
program or other arrangement maintained by Company and any of its Affiliates, including the Letter Agreement. 
 6. Equity Awards. Executive
shall be awarded 12,500 B Units under the B Plan on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, all vesting and payment terms relating to equity awards granted to Executive under the B Plan
and held by Executive as of immediately prior to a Change in Control, shall be determined pursuant to the terms and provisions of the B Plan and any award agreement relating thereto. 

7. Restrictive Covenants. 
 (a) In
consideration of the promise of Company to provide Executive with Proprietary Information (as defined below), Executive shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly engage in, have any equity interest in, or manage or
operate any person, firm, corporation, partnership, business or entity (whether as director (excluding any directorship consented to by the Board in accordance with Section 2(c)), officer, employee, agent, representative, partner,
security holder, consultant or otherwise) that engages in (either directly or through any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof) any business or activity (i) relating to midstream assets (including, without limitation, the gathering, processing and
transportation of natural gas and the transportation and storage of refined products other than natural gas) in any county in the State of Texas that is within any of District 1, 2, 3 or 4 of the Oil & Gas Division of the Railroad
Commission of Texas, which competes with the business of Company or any entity owned by Company, or (ii) which Company or any of its Affiliates has taken active steps to engage in or acquire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be
permitted to acquire a passive stock or equity interest in such a business; provided that such stock or other equity interest acquired is not more than two percent of the outstanding interest in such business. 

(b) Executive shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly, either for himself or on behalf of any other
entity, (i) recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any employee, customer, subscriber or supplier of Company to terminate its employment or arrangement with Company, or otherwise change its relationship with Company, or (ii) hire, or cause
to be hired, any person who was employed by Company at any time during the 3-month period immediately prior to the date of hire of such person or who thereafter becomes employed by Company (but Executive may hire any person who was employed, but
whose employment has been terminated, by Company). 

  
 8 

 (c) Provisions contained in Sections 7(a) and (b) may be altered and/or waived
to be made less restrictive on Executive with the prior written consent of the Board or the Compensation Committee. 
 (d) During the Term,
in connection with Executive’s employment with Company, Company promises to provide Executive with Proprietary Information in support of Executive’s employment duties. Except as Executive reasonably and in good faith determines to be
required in the faithful performance of Executive’s duties hereunder or in accordance with Section 7(f), Executive shall, during the Term and after the Date of Termination, maintain in confidence and shall not directly or
indirectly, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for Executive’s benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity, any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of or relating to Company,
including, without limitation, information with respect to Company’s operations, processes, protocols, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs,
prices, contractual relationships, regulatory status, compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment (“Proprietary Information”), or deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, any document, record,
notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such Proprietary Information. Executive’s obligation to maintain and not use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for Executive’s benefit or the benefit of any
person, firm, corporation or other entity, any Proprietary Information after the Date of Termination will continue so long as such Proprietary Information is not, or has not by legitimate means become, generally known and in the public domain (other
than by means of Executive’s direct or indirect disclosure of such Proprietary Information) and continues to be maintained as Proprietary Information by Company. The parties hereby stipulate and agree that as between them, the Proprietary
Information identified herein is important, material and affects the successful conduct of the businesses of Company (and any successor or assignee of Company). 

(e) Upon termination of Executive’s employment with Company for any reason, Executive will promptly after such termination deliver to
Company all correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, financial documents, or any other documents concerning Company’s customers, business plans, marketing strategies, products or
processes. 
 (f) Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process but shall give Company (if lawfully permitted
to do so) the earliest possible notice thereof, and shall, as much in advance of the return date as possible, make available to Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought, and shall assist such counsel in resisting or
otherwise responding to such process. Upon notification from Executive of such subpoena or other legal process, Company shall, at its reasonable expense, retain mutually acceptable legal counsel to represent Executive in connection with
Executive’s response to any such subpoena or other legal process. Executive may also disclose Proprietary Information if: (i) in the reasonable written opinion of counsel for Executive furnished to Company, such information is required to
be disclosed for Executive not to be in violation of any applicable law or regulation or (ii) Executive is required to disclose such information in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement or any other agreements
between Executive and Company. 

  
 9 

 (g) Executive agrees not to disparage Company, any of its products or practices, or any of its
directors, officers, agents, representatives, equity holders or Affiliates, either orally or in writing, at any time; provided that Executive may confer in confidence with Executive’s legal representatives, make truthful statements to
any government agency in sworn testimony, or make truthful statements as otherwise required by law. Company agrees that, upon the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, it shall advise its directors and executive officers not to
disparage Executive, either orally or in writing, at any time; provided that they may confer in confidence with Company’s and their legal representatives and make truthful statements as required by law. 

(h) Prior to accepting other employment or any other service relationship during the Restricted Period, Executive shall provide a copy of this
Section 7 to any recruiter who assists Executive in obtaining other employment or any other service relationship and to any employer or person with which Executive discusses potential employment or any other service relationship. 

(i) In the event the terms of this Section 7 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by
reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be
enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action. 

(j) As used in this Section 7, the term “Company” shall include Company, its parent, related entities, and
any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. 
 8. Injunctive Relief. Executive recognizes and acknowledges that a breach of the
covenants contained in Section 7 may cause irreparable damage to Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate.
Accordingly, Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 7, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, Company will be entitled to specific performance and
injunctive relief. 
 9. Section 409A. 

(a) General. The parties acknowledge and agree that, to the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with,
and incorporate the terms and conditions required by, Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Company determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be immediately taxable to
Executive under Section 409A, Company reserves the right to (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Executive for failure to do so) (i) adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt such other policies and procedures (including
amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect) that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement and
to avoid less favorable accounting or tax consequences for 

  
 10 

 
Company and/or (ii) take such other actions it determines to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with
the requirements of Section 409A from Executive or any other individual to Company or any of its Affiliates, employees or agents or as a guarantee by Company or any of its Affiliates of any particular tax result for Executive with respect to
any income recognized by Executive in connection with this Agreement. 
 (b) Separation from Service under Section 409A;
Section 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) no termination or other similar payments and benefits hereunder shall be payable unless Executive’s termination of employment constitutes a
“separation from service” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Department of Treasury Regulations; (ii) if Executive is deemed at the time of Executive’s separation from service to be a “specified
employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of any termination or other similar payments and benefits to which Executive may be entitled hereunder (after taking into
account all exclusions applicable to such payments or benefits under Section 409A) is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of such payments and benefits shall not be
provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (x) the expiration of the 6-month period measured from the date of Executive’s “separation from service” with Company (as such term is defined in the Department of Treasury
Regulations issued under Section 409A) or (y) the date of Executive’s death; provided that upon the earlier of such dates, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 9(b)(ii) shall be paid in a lump
sum to Executive, and any remaining payments and benefits due hereunder shall be provided as otherwise specified herein; (iii) the determination of whether Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the time of Executive’s separation from service shall be made by Company in accordance with the terms of Section 409A (including, without limitation, Section 1.409A-1(i) of the
Department of Treasury Regulations and any successor provision thereto); (iv) to the extent that any Installment Payments under this Agreement are deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of
Section 409A, for purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Department of Treasury Regulations), each such payment that Executive may be eligible to receive under this
Agreement shall be treated as a separate and distinct payment; and (v) to the extent that any reimbursements or corresponding in-kind benefits provided to Executive under this Agreement are deemed to constitute “deferred compensation”
under Section 409A (A) such reimbursements or benefits shall be provided reasonably promptly, but in no event later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred, and in any event in accordance with
Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) of the Department of Treasury Regulations and (B) the amount of any such payments or expense reimbursements in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses or in-kind benefits eligible for payment or
reimbursement in any other calendar year, other than an arrangement providing for the reimbursement of medical expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code, and Executive’s right to such payments or reimbursement of any such expenses
shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. 

  
 11 

 10. Assignment and Successors. Company may assign its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to any entity, including any successor to all or substantially all the assets of Company, by merger or otherwise, and may assign or encumber this Agreement and its rights hereunder as security for indebtedness of Company and its
Affiliates. Executive may not assign Executive’s rights or obligations under this Agreement to any individual or entity. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Company, Executive and their respective successors,
assigns, personnel and legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable. 
 11. Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Texas, without reference to the principles of conflicts of law of Texas or any other jurisdiction, and where
applicable, the laws of the United States.

Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same Agreement. 
 15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement
(together with any other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby or referred to herein) is intended by the parties to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the employment of Executive by Company and may not be
contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement (including, without limitation, any term sheet or offer letter). The parties further intend that this Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and
that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial, administrative, or other legal proceeding to vary the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement expressly supersedes the Letter Agreement and Executive agrees and acknowledges
that the Letter Agreement is no longer in force or effect. 
 16. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or
terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by Executive and a duly authorized officer of Company and approved by the Board, which expressly identifies the amended provision of this Agreement. By an instrument in writing similarly executed
and approved by the Board, Executive or a duly authorized officer of Company may waive compliance by the other party or parties with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform; provided,
however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure to comply or perform. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power hereunder shall preclude any
other or further exercise of any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity. 
 17. No Inconsistent Actions. The
parties shall not voluntarily undertake or fail to undertake any action or course of action inconsistent with the provisions or essential intent of this Agreement. Furthermore, it is the intent of the parties to act in a fair and reasonable manner
with respect to the interpretation and application of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 18. Construction. This Agreement shall be deemed
drafted equally by both of the parties. Its language shall be construed as a whole and according to its fair meaning. Any presumption or principle that the language is to be construed against any party shall not apply. The headings in this Agreement
are only for convenience and are not intended to affect construction or interpretation. Any references to paragraphs, subparagraphs, sections or subsections are to those parts of this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary.
Also, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, (a) the plural includes the singular and the singular includes the plural; (b) “and” and “or” are each used both conjunctively and disjunctively;
(c) “any,” “all,” “each,” or “every” means “any and all,” and “each and every”; (d) “includes” and “including” are each “without limitation”;
(e) “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other similar compounds of the word “here” refer to the entire Agreement and not to any particular paragraph, subparagraph, section or subsection; and (f) all
pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the identity of the entities or persons referred to may require. 

  
 13 

 19. Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy based on, arising under or relating to this Agreement
shall be settled exclusively by final and binding arbitration, conducted before a single neutral arbitrator in Dallas, Texas in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (the
“AAA”) then in effect. Arbitration may be compelled, and judgment may be entered on the arbitration award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that Company shall be entitled to seek a restraining
order or injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any continuation of any violation of the provisions of Section 7, and Executive hereby consents that such restraining order or injunction may be granted without
requiring Company to post a bond. Only individuals who are (a) lawyers engaged full-time in the practice of law and (b) on the AAA roster of arbitrators shall be selected as an arbitrator. Within 20 days of the conclusion of the
arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall prepare written findings of fact and conclusions of law. The arbitrator shall be entitled to award any relief available in a court of law. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees in
connection with an arbitration; provided that Company shall bear the cost of the arbitrator and the AAA’s administrative fees. 
 20.
Enforcement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be
construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a portion of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in
terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable. 
 21. Withholding. Company
shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement, any federal, state, local or foreign withholding or other taxes or charges which Company is required to withhold. Company shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of counsel
if any questions as to the amount or requirement of withholding shall arise. 
 22. Absence of Conflicts; Executive Acknowledgement. Executive
hereby represents that from and after the Effective Date the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder will not breach any other agreement to which Executive is a party. Executive acknowledges that Executive has read and understands this
Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, has not acted in reliance upon any representations or promises made by Company other than those contained in writing herein, and has entered into this Agreement freely based on Executive’s own
judgment. 
 23. Survival. The expiration or termination of the Term shall not impair the rights or obligations of any party which shall have
accrued prior to such expiration or termination. 
 24. Indemnification. During the Term and thereafter, the Company agrees to indemnify and
hold Executive harmless in connection with actual, potential or threatened actions or 

  
 14 

 
investigations related to Executive’s services for, or employment by, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and the Partnership to the maximum extent provided in the
Company’s Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement and the Partnership’s Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership and to be covered by D&O insurance to the maximum extent, and length, of
coverage of any other officer or director of the Company or the Partnership during his employment with the Company and thereafter, as in effect as of the Date of Termination.
