Section 3.1 System Services. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and rights of all applicable Governmental Authorities, during the Term, Provider shall provide, or cause to be provided, the following services with respect to Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs on the Xxxxxx System, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (collectively, the “System Services”):

(a) “Processing Services”, which means: (i) the receipt of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs Tendered by or on behalf of Customer at the Receipt Points; (ii) the transportation, as applicable, of such Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs to a Plant via the applicable Plant Facilities; (iii) the processing and/or treatment of such Customer Gas; (iv) in the case of applicable Plant Systems, the fractionation, extraction and/or treatment of NGLs; (v) the redelivery of Residue Gas and NGLs produced from the processing, fractionation and/or treatment, as applicable, of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs and allocable to Customer in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof (such Residue Gas, “Customer Residue Gas”, and such NGLs, “Customer NGLs”) at the relevant Delivery Points (as Nominated by Customer) for Customer’s account, with an equivalent thermal content to such Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs, less System Fuel and Losses allocated to Customer in accordance with this Agreement; (vi) the metering of such Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs at the Receipt Points; and (vii) the metering of such Customer Residue Gas and Customer NGLs at the Delivery Points (other than the Loading Points);

(b) “Gas Lift Services”, which means the compressing and redelivery of Customer Residue Gas to the Gas Lift Delivery Points;

(c) “Loading Services”, which means (i) the loading of Customer NGLs onto trucks and rail cars at the Loading Points; and (ii) the metering of Customer NGLs at the Loading Points;

(d) “Transportation Services”, which means the redelivery of Customer Residue Gas at a HNDP Delivery Point; and

(e) those other services to be performed by Provider in respect of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 3.2 Services Standard. Provider agrees to own, operate, and maintain, or cause to be owned, operated and maintained, at its sole cost, risk and expense (as between the Parties), each Plant System and the other facilities, in each case, as are necessary to provide the System Services contemplated in this Agreement with respect to such Plant System in accordance with the then-current Development Plan and System Plan and in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with standards customary in the industry in the geographic area where such Plant System is located.

Section 3.3 Exchange of Information. Each Party agrees to use its reasonable efforts to provide, on a timely basis, such information to the other Party as may be reasonably needed by such other Party to perform its obligations hereunder (including, in the case of Provider, to provide the System Services hereunder).

Section 3.4 Provider’s Discretion to Operate Xxxxxx System; Bypass; Ethane Recovery. As between the Parties, Provider shall have sole and exclusive control, management, and operational discretion in operating the Xxxxxx System. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(a) Any decision by the Provider Group to curtail or Bypass any System Services hereunder (other than such a decision made pursuant to Section 3.4(b)), or alter the recovery parameters of a Plant processing train, shall be undertaken in the manner set forth in the Operating Terms.

(b) With respect to the System Services to be provided on a Wholly-Owned System, Customer shall have the option, at any time during the Term, to request that all or a portion of the applicable Customer Gas Bypass certain System Services on such Wholly-Owned System in order for Customer to meet its obligations under contractual requirements with a Downstream Facility. To the extent that such request would not, in Provider’s sole discretion, be reasonably likely to (i) cause Provider to not be able to deliver such System Services hereunder in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) cause the Provider Group or any portion of the Xxxxxx System (including such Wholly-Owned System), to be unable to comply with any applicable Law, or (iii) cause any adverse effect on the Provider Group, any portion of the Xxxxxx System (including such Wholly-Owned System), or any other asset of the Provider Group, then, in such case, Provider shall consider such request and use its good faith efforts to implement such request.

(c) With respect to the TGP, the base operating mode of such Plant will be “Ethane Recovery Mode”, for the separate recovery of ethane from the Gas and (if applicable) Injected NGL stream. Subject to Section 3.4(c)(i), with respect to each Wholly-Owned Plant other than the TGP, the base operating mode of such Plant will be “Ethane Rejection Mode”, where ethane is not separately recovered from the Gas and/or (if applicable) Injected NGL stream. Subject to

the remainder of this subpart (c), with respect to each Jointly-Owned Plant, Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the base operating mode of such Plant to also be Ethane Rejection Mode. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (I) the Provider Group, in Provider’s sole discretion, believes that continuing to operate any Plant in its “base operating mode” designated above would be reasonably likely to (w) cause Provider to not be able to deliver the System Services hereunder in accordance with this Agreement, (x) cause the Provider Group or any portion of the Xxxxxx System (including any Plant System), to be unable to comply with any applicable Law, (y) cause any adverse effect on the Provider Group, any portion of the Xxxxxx System (including any Plant System) or any other asset of the Provider Group, or (z) result in Customer Residue Gas (other than any Customer Residue Gas constituting System Fuel and Losses) failing to meet any quality specifications of any Downstream Facility (each of the foregoing matters described in subparts (w) through (z), an “Operating Impediment”), then, in any such case, then Provider Group may cause (or use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, in the case of a Jointly-Owned Plant) the applicable Plant to switch operating modes into Ethane Recovery Mode or Ethane Rejection Mode, as applicable, and (II) the operator (if not a member of Provider Group) of any Jointly-Owned Plant makes a decision pursuant to its contractual rights in respect of any Jointly-Owned Plant to switch operating modes into Ethane Recovery Mode or Ethane Rejection Mode, as applicable, then, in any such case, (1) Provider shall give Customer written Notice of such intent as soon as is reasonably practicable following such determination, and (2) the Provider Group shall not be in breach of its obligations hereunder as a result of such decision.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall have the right to request, by delivery of Notice to Provider pursuant to Section 19.2 at least ten Business Days prior to the effective date of any such request, that any Jointly-Owned Plant be operated in a different operating mode than the base operating mode in which it is then-currently being operated, and upon receipt of such request or election, Provider shall, unless Provider believes in its sole discretion that such request would create an Operating Impediment, use its commercially reasonable efforts cause such Jointly-Owned Plant to be operated in the requested mode. Additionally, if (A) the operator of any Jointly-Owned Plant elects, pursuant to its contractual rights related thereto, to switch the then-current operating mode of the applicable Jointly-Owned Plant, (B) Provider Group, pursuant to its contractual rights related thereto, has the ability to elect in or out of such operating mode change proposed to be made by such operator (whether to veto such change or trigger any alternate rights in favor of Provider Group with respect to such operating mode change), and (C) within three Business Days following its receipt of written Notice from Provider of such operating mode change as described in Section 3.4(c) above, Customer elects in writing for the Provider Group to act on the applicable rights described in subpart (B) above, then, upon receipt of such election, Provider shall exercise (or cause to be exercised) such applicable rights in respect of such Jointly-Owned Plant. In connection therewith, should Provider Group be entitled to, and receive, any liquidated amounts pursuant to any contractual arrangement related to a Jointly-Owned Plant in connection with the exercise of any such rights related to such Jointly-Owned Plant, Provider agrees to turn over such liquidated amounts to Customer promptly upon Provider Group’s receipt thereof.

(ii) Assuming that all Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs Tendered by or on behalf of Customer at the applicable Receipt Points meet the respective quality specifications contained in Section 1.1 of the Operating Terms, Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Plant(s) to (A) achieve the recovery rates set forth in Exhibit G-3 (as such Exhibit may be updated from time to time by the Parties, whether to account for additional Plants or otherwise) for the applicable Plant under the heading “Ethane Recovery Mode” when operating in Ethane Recovery Mode, and (B) achieve the recovery rates set forth in Exhibit G-3 (as such Exhibit may be updated from time to time by the Parties, whether to account for additional Plants or otherwise) for the applicable Plant under the heading “Ethane Rejection Mode” when operating in Ethane Rejection Mode.

(iii) To the extent that ethane is not recovered (or is recovered but returned to the Residue Gas stream), it shall be accounted for to Customer as part of Customer Residue Gas. To the extent that ethane is separately recovered (and not returned to the Residue Gas stream), then ethane shall be accounted for to Customer as a Customer NGL.

(d) The base operating mode of the TGP (and any other applicable Plant that has such capabilities) will be “Sulfur Recovery Mode”, for the separate recovery of sulfur from the Gas and Injected NGL stream delivered thereto. If (i) Provider, in its sole discretion, believes that operating in Sulfur Recovery Mode would be reasonably likely to (A) cause Provider to not be able to deliver the System Services hereunder in accordance with this Agreement, (B) cause the Provider Group or any portion of the Xxxxxx System (including such Plant System), to be unable to comply with any applicable Law, (C) cause any adverse effect on the Provider Group, any portion of the Xxxxxx System (including such Plant System) or any other asset of the Provider Group, or (D) result in any Customer Residue Gas (other than any Customer Residue Gas constituting System Fuel and Losses) or NGLs failing to meet any quality specifications of any Downstream Facility, or (ii) the Customer Gas and/or Customer Injected NGLs delivered hereunder to the Receipt Points applicable to such Plant contain less than a total of ** percent (**%) by volume of hydrogen sulfide, then, in any such case, Provider may cause such Plant to cease operating in Sulfur Recovery Mode. Provider shall give Customer written Notice of any determination made by Provider to cease operating any applicable Plant in Sulfur Recovery Mode as far in advance as is reasonably possible from the date upon which Provider intends to cease operating such Plant in Sulfur Recovery Mode.

Section 3.5 Third Party Facilities; Xxxxxx System Facilities. Except for situations of Force Majeure, or as may be required by necessary repairs, maintenance, anticipated curtailments, or outages on any Plant System, or as otherwise agreed by the Parties, Provider shall not utilize or substitute any Gas processing and/or NGL fractionation facilities other than the Xxxxxx System for performance of the System Services under this Agreement, and then only with notice to Customer as soon as reasonably practical. For the avoidance of doubt, Provider shall be entitled, to the extent necessary to address (a) situations of Force Majeure or (b) necessary repairs,

maintenance, outages, or other curtailment events, in each case, to provide the System Services with respect to the Customer Gas and/or Customer Injected NGLs delivered hereunder at any applicable Plant System, notwithstanding the fact that Customer Nominated such Customer Gas and/or Customer Injected NGLs to a different Plant System.

Section 3.6 Reports. Provider shall file all necessary reports and/or notices required by applicable Laws with respect to the performance by Provider of the System Services pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4

DEDICATION OF PRODUCTION; CUSTOMER COVENANTS

Section 4.1 Dedication.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 through Section 4.4 and Article 17, Customer exclusively dedicates and commits to deliver to Provider under this Agreement all:

(i) Customer Gas formerly owned or Controlled by Producer and produced from those oil and gas properties located in the area described on Exhibit B-1 (such area, as the same may be modified from time to time by the Parties hereunder, the “Dedicated Area”) that are operated by Producer or that are not operated by Producer, but from which Producer has elected to take its applicable production in-kind (such Gas, “Dedicated Producer Gas”); and

(ii) Effective as of January 1, 2019, Customer Gas that Customer owns or Controls through one of the Third Party Contracts described on Exhibit B-2 attached hereto (such Third Party Contracts, the “Dedicated Third Party Contracts”). Customer shall have the right from time to time during the Term to add additional Third Party Contracts as Dedicated Third Party Contracts under this Agreement by delivery of Notice to Provider pursuant to Section 19.2 indicating Customer’s intent to add a Third Party Contract to Exhibit B-2 as a Dedicated Third Party Contract. Pending any formal amendment of Exhibit B-2 to update the list of Dedicated Third Party Contracts contained thereon, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Customer’s delivery of Notice to Provider pursuant to this Section 4.1(a)(ii) and Section 19.2 indicating Customer’s intent to dedicate a Third Party Contract under this Agreement as a “Dedicated Third Party Contract” shall be sufficient to classify (A) such Third Party Contract as a “Dedicated Third Party Contract” for all purposes hereunder until Exhibit B-2 is formally amended to include the same, and (B) all volumes owned or Controlled by Customer pursuant to such Third Party Contract and delivered to Provider hereunder (to the extent such volumes were delivered from and after the last update of Exhibit B-2 and prior to the delivery of such written notice or after the delivery of such notice) as “Third Party Volumes” for all purposes hereunder;

provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to all periods prior to January 1, 2019, the definition of “Dedicated Contract” contained in the A&R Agreement and the provisions of the A&R Agreement pertaining to “Dedicated Contracts” shall, in each case, remain applicable hereunder with respect to the System Services provided during such period, and all volumes of Customer Gas that Customer owned or Controlled pursuant to any “Dedicated Contract” shall explicitly constitute “Tariff Volumes” hereunder with respect to such period.

(b) All Dedicated Producer Gas and all Customer Gas subject to a Dedicated Third Party Contract that (i) is not described in Section 4.1(c)(i), (ii) is not subject to a Conflicting Dedication, (iii) has not been reserved and utilized by Customer pursuant to Section 4.3, and (iv) has not been released (either temporarily or permanently) from dedication pursuant to Section 4.4, is referred to collectively hereunder as “Dedicated Production”.

(i) any Dedicated Producer Gas (A) that is produced from a well that was drilled and completed, and is operated, in each case, by a Non-Party that is not an Affiliate of Customer, and (B) that such Non-Party operator (and not Customer or any of Customer’s Affiliates) markets under applicable contractual arrangements with respect to such well and such Customer Gas, shall not be considered “Dedicated Production” hereunder; and

(ii) no Dedicated Third Party Contract may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented by Customer such that the volume of Dedicated Production resulting therefrom would be reduced without the prior written consent of Provider, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that such restrictions shall not apply to (A) any termination or expiration of any such Dedicated Third Party Contract pursuant to its terms, or (B) the removal of any individual well from the coverage of any such Dedicated Third Party Contract that, on average, produces less than 100 Mcf of Gas a Month.

Section 4.2 Conflicting Dedications. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Customer shall have the right to comply with each processing, fractionation or transportation agreement or any commitment or arrangement (including any volume commitment) that would require any Customer Gas to be processed or fractionated at any processing or fractionation facility other than the Xxxxxx System (each, a “Conflicting Dedication”) that (a) is in effect as of January 1, 2018 and is described in Exhibit C, or (b) that is applicable and in effect as of the date that Customer acquires Control of any Gas produced from lands covered by the Dedicated Area that was not under the Control of Customer as of January 1, 2018. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall only have the right to comply with the applicable Conflicting Dedication up to and until the first Day of the Month following the termination of such Conflicting Dedication (without giving effect to any right of Customer to renew or extend the term of such Conflicting Dedication). For the avoidance of doubt, any Customer Gas that, but for a Conflicting Dedication, would be considered “Dedicated Production” hereunder, shall, automatically upon the termination of the applicable Conflicting Dedication, be considered “Dedicated Production” hereunder. As of January 1, 2018, Customer represents that, except as set forth in Exhibit C, the Dedicated Production is not subject to any Conflicting Dedication.

Section 4.3 Customer’s Reservations. Customer reserves the following rights respecting Dedicated Producer Gas and all Customer Gas subject to a Dedicated Third Party Contract for itself: to deliver or furnish to the applicable lessors and holders of other burdens on production such Customer Gas as is required to satisfy the terms of the applicable oil and gas leases or other applicable instruments.

Section 4.4 Releases from Dedication.

(a) If Provider has failed to complete the facilities necessary to connect a Planned Receipt Point to the Xxxxxx System within:

(i) 90 Days of the applicable Target Completion Date contained in the then-currently agreed System Plan, then, upon written Notice from Customer to Provider, Customer shall be entitled to:

(A) in the case of any such written Notice delivered during the Initial Term: (1) request a temporary Recalculation Election pursuant to Section 7.1(g)(y), in which case (x) the Dedicated Production Estimate that is applicable to such Planned Receipt Point will be deemed deleted from the Dedicated Production Estimate contained in the then-currently agreed Development Plan, (y) the Committed Build-Out at issue (and all Committed Build-Out Costs related thereto) will be deleted from the then-currently agreed System Plan, and (z) the Fees resulting from such Recalculation Election will be utilized, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.4(a)(i)(A), for the remainder of the then-current Year, and (2) a temporary reduction in the then-applicable MVC to reflect the deletion of the applicable portion of the Dedicated Production Estimate, which reduction in MVC will remain in effect, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.4(a)(i)(A), for the remainder of the then-current Year. Any such temporary Recalculation Election and reduction in MVC shall, in each case, be terminated, and the Fees and MVC shall each revert back to their respective levels prior to such election, upon the completion of the connection of the Planned Receipt Point to the Xxxxxx System; or

(B) in the case of any such written Notice delivered from and after the beginning of the Secondary Term: receive a temporary (1) release from the dedication hereunder of the Dedicated Production Estimate that is applicable to such Planned Receipt Point, and (2) reduction in the then-applicable MVC to reflect the temporary release of the applicable portion of the Dedicated Production Estimate, which temporary release and reduction in MVC will remain in effect, in each case, until the earlier of (x) the end of then-current Year, or (y) the completion of the connection of the applicable Planned Receipt Point to the Xxxxxx System; or

(ii) 180 Days of the applicable Target Completion Date contained in the then-currently agreed System Plan, then, upon written Notice from Customer to Provider, the volumes of Dedicated Production applicable to such Planned Receipt Point shall be permanently released from the dedication under this Agreement and Customer may deliver and commit such Customer Gas that was formerly Dedicated Production to such other processor or fractionator as it shall determine in its sole discretion.

(b) Certain Dedicated Production may also be temporarily released from dedication under this Agreement in the event of:

(i) any curtailment or interruption of the System Services to be provided to Customer as set forth in Section 8.5(e) or in Section 1.5 of the Operating Terms, in each case, other than any Bypass election;

(ii) a material breach of this Agreement by Provider as provided in Section 13.1(b); or

(iii) an order of a Governmental Authority that causes the curtailment of System Services to Customer as provided in Section 8.2.

(c) In the event that any “Dedicated Production” (as such term is defined in the GGA) is released from the dedication under the GGA, Customer shall have the right to request that the corresponding Dedicated Production also be released from the dedication hereunder. Any such request shall be subject to Provider’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Any such release from dedication hereunder shall last for the duration specified in the request from Customer, but in no event shall such release hereunder be longer than the applicable release under the GGA (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the release requested hereunder may be permanent if the corresponding release from dedication under the GGA is permanent); provided, however, that no such release of Dedicated Production permitted pursuant to this Section 4.4(c) shall result in a reduction in the MVC pursuant to Section 6.1.

MINIMUM VOLUME COMMITMENT; SHORTFALL CREDITS

Section 6.1 MVC. For each Quarter during the Term, Customer shall be obligated to Tender for delivery into the Xxxxxx System certain minimum volumes of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs (each such minimum amount, a “Minimum Volume Commitment” or “MVC”). The MVC for the Quarters occurring in Year 2018 are set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto.

(a) Beginning in Year 2019, the MVC with respect to any Quarter occurring in the then-subsequent three Year period shall be equal to 80% of the sum of the (i) applicable Tariff Volume Estimate for such Quarter contained in the then-currently agreed Development Plan, and (ii) the applicable Third Party Volume Estimate for such Quarter contained in the then-currently agreed Development Plan.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing and regardless of the Tariff Volume Estimates and the Third Party Volume Estimates with respect to any such Quarter included in any Updated Development Plan thereafter, the MVC for such Quarter contained in any prior Development Plan shall not be reduced by such Updated Development Plan (but the applicable MVC volumes may be increased).

(c) Should any Dedicated Production be released (either permanently or temporarily) from the dedication contained in this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4 (other than pursuant to Section 4.4(c)), the then-applicable MVC shall be proportionately reduced by the portion of the then-current Tariff Volume Estimate and/or Third Party Volume Estimate (as applicable) so released. Should any such temporary release from dedication expire, then, upon such expiration, the then-applicable MVC shall be proportionately increased by the portion of the applicable Dedicated Production Estimate that is no longer released from dedication hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to all periods prior to January 1, 2017, the definition of “MVC” contained in the Original Agreement and the MVC mechanisms contained in Section 6.1 of the Original Agreement shall, in each case, remain applicable hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to all periods after January 1, 2017 and prior to January 1, 2019, the definition of “MVC” and the MVC mechanisms contained in Section 6.1 of the A&R Agreement shall, in each case, remain applicable hereunder.

Section 6.2 MVC Shortfall Credits. If Customer pays any Shortfall Fee with respect to any Quarter in the Secondary Term or thereafter, then, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.2, for a period of four full Quarters from the end of the Quarter in which such Shortfall Fee was accrued, Customer shall be entitled to a credit with respect to the Combined Processing Fees payable by Customer during any such Quarter in connection with volumes of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs Tendered by Customer or for Customer’s account into the Receipt Points during any such Quarter, but only to the extent such volumes are in excess of the aggregate Dedicated Production Estimate for such Quarter (each such volume credit, stated in Mcfs, a “MVC Shortfall Credit”).

(a) During any subsequent Quarter in which an earned MVC Shortfall Credit may be utilized by Customer, Customer may only utilize such MVC Shortfall Credit for volumes of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs delivered in excess of the aggregate Dedicated Production Estimate for such Quarter as contained in the then-currently agreed Development Plan.

(b) The use of a MVC Shortfall Credit shall result in Customer not being obligated to pay any Combined Processing Fee attributable to volumes of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs delivered into the Receipt Points, but only up to the amount of such MVC Shortfall Credit and only with respect to volumes of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs in excess of the aggregate Dedicated Production Estimate for such Quarter as contained in the then-currently agreed Development Plan.

(c) Each MVC Shortfall Credit shall expire at the end of the fourth full Quarter following the date on which the applicable Shortfall Fee was accrued.

(d) Provider shall be responsible for keeping records and balances of any applicable MVC Shortfall Credits that have been earned by Customer and providing such balances to Customer upon Customer’s request.

(e) The Parties agree that, as of December 31, 2016, there were no outstanding “MVC Shortfall Credits” (as such term is defined in the Original Agreement), and any such amounts that (i) had accrued on or prior to December 31, 2016 pursuant to the Original Agreement, but (ii) were not utilized by Customer hereunder with respect to Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs Tendered to the TGP System prior December 31, 2016, shall be of no further force and effect and shall not be given any application hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to the first sentence of this Section 6.2(f), with respect to all periods prior to January 1, 2017, the definition of “MVC Shortfall Credits” contained in the Original Agreement and the MVC Shortfall Credit mechanisms contained in Section 6.2 and elsewhere of the Original Agreement shall, in each case, remain applicable hereunder.

(e) For any Quarter, beginning in Year 2019, should Customer fail to Tender an aggregate volume of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs to the Provider Group at the Receipt Points equal to the MVC for such Quarter, then Customer shall pay to Provider the following fees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as a result of such shortfall (such fee, a “Shortfall Fee”): (i) (A) the then-applicable MVC, minus (B) the aggregate volumes, stated

in Mcfs or MCFEs, as applicable, of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs actually delivered into the Xxxxxx System at the Receipt Points by Customer or for Customer’s account during such Quarter, minus (C) the aggregate volumes, stated in Mcfs or MCFEs, as applicable, of Dedicated Production and Customer Injected NGLs Tendered for delivery by Customer or on Customer’s account into the Xxxxxx System at the Receipt Points during such Quarter but not received into the Xxxxxx System by the Provider Group due to reasons of Force Majeure or curtailment, minus (D) the aggregate volumes, stated in Mcfs, of Dedicated Producer Gas not Tendered for delivery by Customer or on Customer’s account into the Xxxxxx System at the Receipt Points during such Quarter due to reasons of a Force Majeure event affecting Customer that Provider has accepted as a Force Majeure event hereunder, multiplied by (ii) the Combined Processing Fee.

(f) Beginning in Year 2019, if the aggregate Tariff Volume Estimate contained in any Updated Development Plan is at least 15% greater than the aggregate Tariff Volume Estimate contained in the most recent, previously agreed-upon Development Plan, then the then-current Return on Capital shall be permanently increased by two percent (2%) for each 15% increase represented by such aggregate increased Tariff Volume Estimate.

(g) (x) at any time on or prior to January 15^th of each Year, either Party may make an election to have the then-currently agreed Fees recalculated with respect to such Year (a “Recalculation Election”); provided, that, prior to the date such Recalculation Election is made, the Parties shall have agreed upon an Updated Development Plan for such Year or the Parties shall have been unable to agree upon an Updated Development Plan for such Year, and (y) Customer shall have the right, in accordance with Section 4.4(a)(i), to make a temporary Recalculation Election with respect to the remainder of the current Year. Upon a Recalculation Election being made pursuant to this Section 7.1(g), the Fees will be recalculated based upon such then-currently agreed Development Plan. Any such recalculation shall be based on the model attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, which takes into account:

(i) (A) the aggregate Tariff Volumes contained in a Tariff Volume Estimate that have actually been delivered by Customer into the Receipt Points, in each case, prior to such Year during the Term, and (B) with respect to Recalculation Elections related to the Fees for Year 2019 and thereafter, the aggregate Third Party Volumes contained in a Third Party Volume Estimate that have actually been delivered by Customer into the Receipt Points, in each case, prior to such Year during the Term; provided, however, that such Tariff Volumes and Third Party Volumes, in the aggregate, shall not, for purposes of the recalculation (1) exceed the applicable Dedicated Production Estimates for such Years as contained in the applicable Development Plans or (2) be deemed to be lower than the applicable MVC for such Years as contained in the applicable Development Plans;

(a) If Customer fails to pay pursuant to Section 12.2 any Invoice rendered pursuant to Section 12.1 and such failure is not remedied within five Business Days of written Notice of such failure to Customer by Provider, Provider shall have the right to suspend performance under this Agreement until such amount, including interest at the Interest Rate, is paid in full.

(b) In the event a Party fails to perform or comply with any material warranty, covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement (other than as provided in Section 13.1(a)), and such failure has not been remedied within 30 Days after receipt of written Notice from the other Party of such failure, then the non-defaulting Party shall have the right to suspend its performance under this Agreement; provided, however, that if such failure to perform or comply with any material warranty, covenant or obligation affects only a certain Plant System (or Plant Systems), and does not affect all Plant Systems or the Xxxxxx System as a whole, the non-defaulting Party shall only have the right to suspend its performance under this Agreement with regard to such affected Plant System(s). If Customer elects to suspend performance as the result of Provider’s uncured material default, then the Dedicated Production affected by such default shall be deemed to be temporarily released from the terms of this Agreement during the period of such suspension of performance.

Section 13.2 No Election. In the event of a default by a Party under this Agreement, the other Party shall be entitled in its sole discretion to pursue one or more of the remedies set forth in this Agreement, or such other remedy as may be available to it under this Agreement, at Law or in equity, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Article 16. No election of remedies shall be required or implied as the result of a Party’s decision to avail itself of any remedy under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 14

FORCE MAJEURE

Section 14.1 Events of Force Majeure. An event of “Force Majeure” means, an event that (a) is not within the reasonable control of the Party claiming suspension (the “Claiming Party”), (b) that prevents the Claiming Party’s performance or fulfillment of any obligation of the Claiming Party under this Agreement (other than the payment of money), and (c) that by the exercise of due diligence the Claiming Party is unable to avoid or overcome in a reasonable manner. An event of Force Majeure includes, but is not restricted to: (i) acts of God; (ii) wars (declared or undeclared); (iii) insurrections, hostilities, riots, industrial disturbances, blockades or civil disturbances; (iv) epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, washouts, floods, fires, storms or storm warnings; (v) acts of a public enemy, acts of terror, or sabotage; (vi) explosions, breakage or accidents to machinery or lines of pipe; (vii) hydrate obstruction or blockages of any kind of lines of pipe; (viii) freezing of xxxxx or delivery facilities, partial or entire failure of xxxxx, and other events beyond the reasonable control of Customer that affect the timing of production

or production levels; (ix) mining accidents, subsidence, cave-ins and fires; and (x) action or restraint by any Governmental Authority (so long as the Claiming Party has not applied for or assisted in the application for, and has opposed where and to the extent reasonable, such action or restraint). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an event of Force Majeure specifically excludes the following occurrences or events: (A) the loss, interruption, or curtailment of interruptible transportation on any Downstream Facility necessary to take delivery of Customer Residue Gas or Customer NGLs at any Delivery Point, unless and only to the extent the same event also curtails firm transportation at the same Delivery Point; (B) increases or decreases in Customer Gas or Customer Injected NGL supply (other than any such increase or decrease caused by the actions described in subpart (x) above), allocation or reallocation of Customer Gas or Customer Injected NGL production by the applicable well operators; (C) loss of markets; (D) loss of supply of equipment or materials; (E) failure of specific, individual xxxxx or appurtenant facilities in the absence of an event of Force Majeure broadly affecting other xxxxx in the same geographic area; and (F) price changes due to market conditions with respect to the purchase or sale of Hydrocarbons or the economics associated with the delivery, connection, receipt, gathering, compression, dehydration, treatment, processing, fractionation, transportation or redelivery of such Hydrocarbons.

Section 14.2 Actions. If either Provider or Customer is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to carry out, in whole or part, its obligations under this Agreement and such Claiming Party gives Notice and reasonably full details of the event to the other Party as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the event, then, during the pendency of such Force Majeure, but only during that period, the obligations of the Claiming Party shall be canceled or suspended, as applicable, to the extent required; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, neither Party shall be relieved from any indemnification obligation or any obligation to make any payments hereunder as the result of Force Majeure, regardless which Party is affected. The Claiming Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the Force Majeure condition with all reasonable dispatch, shall give Notice to the other Party of the termination of the Force Majeure, and shall resume performance of any suspended obligation promptly after termination of such Force Majeure. If the Claiming Party is Customer and such Force Majeure is an event affecting a Delivery Point (but not all Delivery Points), such commercially reasonable efforts shall require, to the extent of capacity available to Customer at the applicable Downstream Facilities, Customer to Nominate Customer Residue Gas or Customer NGLs for redelivery at those Delivery Points not affected by such Force Majeure. For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent Provider is delayed in completing any Committed Build-Outs or System Acquisitions by a Force Majeure event, then the Target Completion Date applicable thereto shall be extended for a period of time equal to that during which such obligations of Provider were delayed by such events.

Section 14.3 Strikes, Etc. The settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the Claiming Party, and any obligation hereunder to remedy a Force Majeure event shall not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of the opposing Person(s) when such course is inadvisable in the sole discretion of the Claiming Party.

Concurrently with the execution of the Original Agreement, Customer delivered to TGP LLC a guarantee from Xxxx Corporation, the indirect owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Customer (“Customer Parent”), which guarantee provides a guarantee of all of Customer’s obligations under this Agreement. The Customer Parent guaranty was assigned from TGP LLC to Provider concurrently with the assignment of the A&R Agreement.

Appendix I - Page 9

(d) The specific gravity of Gas will be determined by spot samples or continuous sampling analyzed by gas chromatograph following recommended industry practice.

(e) If a continuous sampling method is used, the gravity to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) will be determined once a Month from a Gas analysis. The result will be applied during the Month for the determination of Gas volumes delivered.

(f) If a spot sample is used, the gravity to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) will be determined at least once each quarter and will be applied until the next spot sample is taken for the determination of Gas volumes delivered.

(g) Adjustments to measured Gas volumes for the effects of super compressibility will be made in accordance with accepted American Gas Association standards. Provider or its designee will obtain appropriate carbon dioxide and nitrogen mole fraction values for the Gas delivered as may be required to compute adjustments in accordance with standard testing procedures. At Provider’s or its designee’s option, equations for the calculation of super compressibility may be taken from either the API Chapter 14.2 or American Gas Association Report No. 8, Compressibility and Super Compressibility for Natural Gas and Other Hydrocarbon Gases, latest revision.

(h) For purposes of measurement and meter calibration, the average atmospheric pressure for each Receipt Point and Delivery Point is assumed to be 13.5 pounds per square inch absolute. If the pressure transmitter being used is capable of measuring actual atmospheric pressure, then actual atmospheric pressure may be used.

(i) The Gross Heating Value of Gas delivered at Receipt Points and Delivery Points will be determined at least once each quarter using either a continuous sampler, spot sampler or gas chromatograph; provided, however, that when Daily deliveries of Gas at any Receipt Point or Delivery Point average five thousand (5,000) Mcf per Day or greater during any Month, the Gross Heating Value of the Gas delivered at that Receipt Point or Delivery Point will be taken at least Monthly at a suitable point on the facilities to be representative of the Gas being metered.

(j) The physical constants used in Btu computation for a perfect Gas will be derived from the “Table of Physical Constants of Paraffin Hydrocarbons and Other Compounds” as published in the GPA Standard 2145-03 and superseding revisions thereof. The analysis will be complete and individual values in mole percent or fraction of each Hydrocarbon compound will be listed through C6. The C6+ values will be as stated in GPA standard 2261, 7.3.6 Table IV (as may be revised from time to time) or, at Provider’s option, by use of an extended analysis. The analysis will further include the mole fraction or percent individually of additional compounds contained in chromatographically measurable quantities contained in the sample. The method to be used for chromatographic analysis will be that contained in GPA standard 2261, Analysis for Natural Gas and Similar Gaseous Mixtures by Gas Chromatography, latest revision.

Appendix I - Page 10

(k) Other tests to determine water content, sulfur, and other impurities in the Gas will be conducted in accordance with standard industry testing procedures when requested by either Party. The Party requested to perform those tests shall bear the cost of those tests only if the Gas tested is determined not to be within the quality specifications set forth in this Agreement. If the Gas is within such quality specifications, the requesting Party will bear the cost of the tests.

(l) If, during the Term, a new method or technique is developed with respect to Gas measurement or the determination of the factors used in Gas measurement, then, in Provider’s commercially reasonable discretion, the new method or technique may be substituted for the applicable method set forth in this Section 1.4 of the Operating Terms, provided that the new method or technique is in accordance with accepted standards of the American Gas Association, and applied uniformly to all customers processing Gas on the Xxxxxx System.

(m) Unless the Plant and Plant System characteristics of any System Acquisition (or any contractual obligations of the Provider Group with respect to such System Acquisition) would necessitate a change from the measurement standards outlined above in this Section 1.4 of the Operating Terms, such measurement standards shall apply to each System Acquisition. Should Provider believe, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that any deviation from the above described measurement standards would be appropriate in respect of any System Acquisition, Provider shall deliver written notice to Customer of such deviations and new measurement standards, including reasonable details in support thereof, and after receipt of such notice by Customer, such updated measurement standards shall be deemed to control in respect of such System Acquisition hereunder.

1.5 Curtailment and/or Bypass of Hydrocarbons. If (a) capacity on the Xxxxxx System is interrupted, curtailed or reduced, or (b) capacity is insufficient for the needs of all customers desiring to use such capacity, the holders of Interruptible Service will be curtailed or subject to Bypass, as applicable, first, the holders of Firm Service shall be curtailed or subject to Bypass, as applicable, second, and the holders of Anchor Customer Firm Service shall be curtailed or subject to Bypass, as applicable, last. As among the holders of each of Firm Service and Anchor Customer Firm Service, the capacity available on the Xxxxxx System to each such class of service under the preceding sentence shall be allocated among the holders of the applicable class of service on a pro rata basis, based on the percentage derived by dividing the Daily average volume of Gas or Injected NGLs, as applicable, actually Tendered by each holder of the applicable class of service to Receipt Points on the Xxxxxx System during the prior 90 Day period by the total volume of such Gas or Injected NGLs, as applicable, actually Tendered by all holders of the applicable class of service during such period to Receipt Points on the Xxxxxx System. As among holders of Interruptible Service, the capacity available to such service, if any, shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of such service based on the percentage derived by dividing the Daily average volume of Gas or Injected NGLs, as applicable, actually Tendered by each holder of Interruptible Service to Receipt Points on the Xxxxxx System during the prior 60 Day period by the total volume of such Gas or Injected NGLs, as applicable, actually Tendered by all holders of Interruptible Service to Receipt Points on the Xxxxxx System during such period. During periods of curtailment on the Xxxxxx System, the Parties shall meet to review alternative options for Customer to optimize its overall

Appendix I - Page 11

volume throughput and related revenues in light of the specific constraints causing such curtailment on the Xxxxxx System. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) such curtailment does not affect all Plant Systems, and (ii) sufficient capacity exists on the non-affected Plant System(s) to service the curtailed volumes, then Provider shall be entitled to provide such System Services to Customer hereunder (and the other customers on the Xxxxxx System) using such other Plant System(s) and Customer shall not be entitled to any release from dedication or other remedies hereunder with respect to such curtailment.

1.6 Allocations of System Fuel, System GL&U and Shrinkage. Allocations required for determining payments or Fees due under this Agreement shall be made by Provider. This Section 1.6 of the Operating Terms shall be based upon the measurements taken and quantities determined for the applicable Month.

(a) The following definition shall be applicable: “Fuel Point” means a point on the Xxxxxx System where System Fuel is measured, sampled, calculated or consumed.

(b) System Fuel shall be allocated to each Receipt Point upstream of the applicable Fuel Point by multiplying (i) the System Fuel, stated in Mcfs, measured at the applicable Fuel Point during the applicable Month by (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the volume of Gas, stated in Mcfs, received into the Xxxxxx System at such Receipt Point during such Month, and (B) the denominator of which is the aggregate volume of Gas, stated in Mcfs, received into the Xxxxxx System at all Receipt Points upstream of the applicable Fuel Point during such Month.

(c) The System GL&U in any Month shall be determined by subtracting (i) the sum of (A) thermal content of all volumes of Customer Residue Gas and Customer NGLs actually delivered to the Delivery Points on the Xxxxxx System during such Month, and (B) thermal content of all volumes of Gas consumed as System Fuel measured at all Fuel Points on the Xxxxxx System during such Month, from (ii) thermal content of all volumes of all Gas and Injected NGLs received into the Xxxxxx System at all Receipt Points.

(d) Total Shrinkage on a Plant System shall be calculated using industry standard Btu shrinkage factors for each component of NGLs recovered from the total Gas and Injected NGL stream delivered into the Receipt Points. Customer’s share of Shrinkage shall be allocated based on the ratio used to allocate Customer’s share of NGLs.

1.7 Allocations of Residue Gas and NGLs. Subject in each case to the contractual obligations of Provider and its Affiliates in respect of any Jointly-Owned System, Provider shall determine the volume of Customer Residue Gas and Customer NGLs by proportionally allocating to Customer its ratable share of all Residue Gas and NGLs recovered in the Xxxxxx System based on the proportion that the Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs delivered to the Receipt Points contributes to the total volume of Gas and Injected NGLs delivered to the Receipt Points by all customers, as more fully described below.

Appendix I - Page 12

(a) Provider will, at least Monthly, measure (whether at the Receipt Point or by combining all individual measurements) the total actual NGL gallon content of the total inlet stream of Gas and Injected NGLs at all Receipt Points (per Mcf or MCFE, as applicable) of ethane, propane, butane, and C5+ by chromatographic analysis or gas sampling.

(b) Customer will be allocated its share of recovered NGLs (on a component basis) as Customer NGLs based on the ratio that its delivered gallons of each component into the Receipt Points bears to the total gallons of such component delivered into the Receipt Points.

(c) Customer will be allocated its share of recovered Residue Gas equal to the (i) MMBtus of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs delivered at the Receipt Points, less (ii) the sum of (A) Customer’s allocated share of Shrinkage, plus (B) Customer’s allocated share of System Fuel, plus or minus (C) Customer’s allocated share of System GL&U.

1.8 Imbalances.

(a) The intent of the Parties to this Agreement is that Gas and Injected NGLs be received and Residue Gas and NGLs be redelivered hereunder at the same rate and Provider and Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep Gas balanced on a Daily basis. Provider and Customer agree to communicate promptly in the event an imbalance situation starts to develop so that corrective measures may be taken to minimize an imbalance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that an exact Daily balancing of receipts and deliveries may not be possible due to the inability of the Parties to control precisely such receipts and deliveries. However, Provider, to the fullest extent practicable, will deliver each Day a volume of Residue Gas with a thermal content equal to the Gas volume received for that Day. Any imbalance at the end of a Month will be corrected, if possible, volumetrically, the following Month.

(b) If the Downstream Facility at any Residue Gas Delivery Point being utilized by Customer requires that imbalances between Provider and such Downstream Facility be eliminated by a cash settlement at the end of each Month in lieu of by the delivery or reduction in deliveries of Residue Gas at such Residue Gas Delivery Point, Provider may eliminate any imbalance of Customer by cash settlement. If an imbalance is eliminated by cash settlement, the imbalance settlement amount charged to Customer by Provider will be Customer’s share of the cash settlement amount charged by the Downstream Facility in accordance with such Downstream Facility’s FERC tariff. If the imbalance was caused by Customer’s failure to submit timely and proper Nominations in accordance with the requirements of the Downstream Facility at such Delivery Point or Customer’s failure to deliver to Provider quantities of Customer Gas in accordance with such Nominations, then Provider may charge Customer for Customer’s share of the cash settlement amount actually charged by such Non-Party Downstream Facility. If the imbalance was caused by Provider’s failure to deliver to such Delivery Point a volume of Residue Gas with a thermal content equivalent to the thermal content of the Gas volume received for that Day, then, to such extent, Provider will bear and pay any imbalance charges, penalties, cash-out payments or other amounts due and owing to the Downstream Facility as a result of the imbalance caused by Provider. Upon request, Provider will provide Customer with a copy of each Downstream Facility cash settlement statement and invoice, as well as documentation supporting Provider’s allocation of imbalances to Customer and the calculation of Customer’s share of each cash settlement invoice.

TARIFF FEE RECALCULATION MODEL

Calculation Methodology prior to January 1, 2019

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to all periods prior to January 1, 2019, the provisions of Exhibit G-2 set forth in the A&R Agreement shall, in each case, remain applicable hereunder with respect to such period.

Calculation Methodology as of January 1, 2019

•

The production profile used will be based on the Current Development Plan (or agreed, Updated Development Plan with respect to Year 2019, as applicable). To the extent appropriate, the production profile is adjusted by an operating factor of **% to reflect realistic operations. Further, the Current Development Plan will be adjusted to reflect major maintenance and turnarounds.

•

Initial capital (opening balance) is based upon net book value as of December 31, 2013.

•

Committed Build-Out Costs, Maintenance Capital Estimates and System Acquisition Cost Estimates are based on the Current System Plan (or agreed, updated System Plan with respect to Year 2019, as applicable).

•

Operating Expense Estimates are derived from the Current System Plan (or agreed, updated System Plan with respect to Year 2019, as applicable).

•

Includes projected public company and executive management costs allocated on a pro rata basis to the assets.

•

Includes major maintenance and turnaround expenses

•

“Residual Value” equals (a) the sum of initial capital, Committed Build-Out Costs and System Acquisition Costs over the Initial Term (10 years), multiplied by (b) (i) one, minus (ii) (A) the ratio of cumulative throughput from the Current Development Plan (or agreed, Updated Development Plan with respect to Year 2019, as applicable) in the Initial Term (10 years), divided by (B) the cumulative throughput from the Current Development Plan (or agreed, Updated Development Plan with respect to Year 2019, as applicable) over the full plan period (20 years).

•

The Return on Capital (unadjusted), using a mid-year convention, was utilized.

•

Tariff Processing Fee and Rail Loading Fee are expressed as an escalating $/Mcf or MCFE (Tariff Processing Fee) or $/Barrel (Rail Loading Fee), as applicable, figure required to achieve the Return on Capital.

Exhibit G-2 - Page 1

•

The Tariff Processing Fee and Rail Loading Fee are each escalated based on the average annual percentage change in the CPI for the 10 years prior to each Recalculation Election date and will be expressed on an annual basis in forward years.

•

Market-based Fees not subject to target return calculation but subject to CPI escalation:

•

Truck Loading Fee

•

HNDP Fee

•

Gas Lift Fee

•

If applicable, pass-through costs (power and utilities, other) and market-based revenue streams (compression fees, short-haul/injection fees, other) are set to offset costs to be recovered.

Combined Processing Fee:

•

The “Tariff Processing Fee” will be as calculated for each Year beginning with 2019 pursuant to this Exhibit G-2.

•

The “Third Party Processing Fee” will be as calculated for each Year beginning with 2019 pursuant to this Exhibit G-2.

•

The “Combined Processing Fee” will be as calculated for each Year beginning with 2019 pursuant to this Exhibit G-2.

Exhibit G-2 - Page 2

Redetermination Methodology

Each year, if a Recalculation Election is made pursuant to Section 7.1(g), the Tariff Processing Fee (and therefore Combined Processing Fee), Loading Fees, Gas Lift Fee and HNDP Fee will be recalculated to reflect:

•

The enumerated items in Section 7.1(g)(i) through (xi).

•

Should Provider and its Affiliates transfer, sell or otherwise dispose, in whole or in part, of any System Acquisition, then the System Acquisition Costs and System Acquisition Cost Estimates applicable to such portion of such System Acquisition so disposed shall be deducted from the recalculation model as of the Year of such disposition, regardless if the cash or non-cash consideration received by Provider and its Affiliates in respect of such sale or other disposition is equal to in excess of such System Acquisition Costs and System Acquisition Cost Estimates applicable to such portion of such System Acquisition so disposed.

•

The present value of prior year(s) revenue and throughput will be subtracted from the “Required Cost Recovery” and “Escalating Tariff Throughput” (as each such term is used in the following example calculations) calculations so that the new Fees reflect costs to be recovered over the remaining Term coupled with expected throughput.

•

Operating Expense Estimates based upon the latest updated System Plan for the applicable year and subsequent years. Prior year(s) operating expenses will not be trued-up to actuals.

•

Projected public company and executive management costs allocated on a pro rata basis to the assets.

•

Major maintenance and turnaround expenses not otherwise included in the above listed items.

•

Any scheduled downtime of the Xxxxxx System.

•

Adjusted Residual Value based on latest Updated Development Plan.

•

Should this Agreement be terminated in part, but not in whole, pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(ii) with respect to only a certain Plant System (or Plant Systems), then in connection with any Recalculation Election made following such termination, all Fees, Committed Build-Out Estimates, Committed Build-Out Costs, Dedicated Production Estimates, volumetric throughput, Maintenance Capital Estimates, Maintenance Capital Expenditures, Operating Expense Estimates, operating expenses, System Acquisition Costs Estimates, System Acquisition Costs, Historical Capital Expenditures and all other costs, fees and/or revenue attributable to such Plant System(s) shall be excluded from such recalculation determination pursuant to Section 7.1(g) and this Exhibit G-2.

Exhibit G-2 - Page 3

•

All other assumptions will be the same as the Original Methodology set forth above.

Exhibit G-2 - Page 4

Each Year beginning in 2019, the Third Party Processing Fee and Combined Processing Fee will be calculated (or recalculated, as applicable) as follows:

•

The Third Party Processing Fee for each Year beginning in 2019 shall be calculated (or recalculated, as applicable) for such Year (irrespective of whether a Recalculation Election is made) as follows for such Year: (a) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Third Party Contract Fee for each Material Dedicated Third Party Contract for such Year, multiplied by (ii) the Third Party Volume Estimate (only to the extent such estimate relates to the Material Dedicated Third Party Contracts) for such Year associated with such Material Dedicated Third Party Contract; divided by (b) the total Third Party Volume Estimate (only to the extent such estimate relates to the Material Dedicated Third Party Contracts) for such Year. An example of such calculation is included below.

•

The Combined Processing Fee for each Year beginning in 2019 shall be calculated (or recalculated, as applicable) for such Year (irrespective of whether a Recalculation Election is made) as follows for such Year: (a) (i) an amount equal to (A) the Third Party Processing Fee for such Year, multiplied by (B) the Third Party Volume Estimate for such Year; plus (ii) an amount equal to (A) the Tariff Volume Estimate for such Year, multiplied by (B) the then-applicable Tariff Processing Fee; divided by (b) an amount equal to (i) the Third Party Volume Estimate for such Year, plus (ii) the Tariff Volume Estimate for such Year. An example of such calculation is included below.

Exhibit G-2 - Page 5

SECONDARY TERM FEE

Effective as of the first Year of the Secondary Term, the Tariff Processing Fee, Rail Loading Fee, Truck Loading Fee, Gas Lift Fee and HNDP Fee shall be calculated in the following manner:

1. For the first Year of the Secondary Term, each such Fee shall be an amount equal to the simple average of: (a) an amount equal to (i) the amount of such Fee for the eighth Year of the Initial Term, increased by (ii) the percentage change in the CPI from the eighth Year of the Initial Term to the first Year of the Secondary Term, (b) an amount equal to (i) the amount of such Fee for the ninth Year of the Initial Term, increased by (ii) the percentage change in the CPI from the ninth Year of the Initial Term to the first Year of the Secondary Term, and (c) an amount equal to (i) the amount of such Fee for the tenth Year of the Initial Term, increased by (ii) the percentage change in the CPI from the tenth Year of the Initial Term to the first Year of the Secondary Term.

2. For each Year during the Term following the first Year of the Secondary Term, each such Fee shall be an amount equal to: (a) the amount of such Fee for the immediately preceding Year (as calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(j)), increased by (b) the percentage change in the CPI from the then-immediately preceding Year to such current Year.

3. For purposes of determining any such Fee pursuant to this Exhibit G-4 during the Secondary Term and thereafter (a) no increase to any such Fee resulting from any application of the CPI adjustment described above in subpart (2)(b) shall exceed 3.0% for any given Year, and (b) no such Fee shall ever be decreased as a result of any application of the CPI adjustment described above in subpart (2)(b) to an amount less than the amount of such Fee as calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(j) for the prior Year.

For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Third Party Processing Fee and Combined Processing Fee for each such Year shall each remain as set forth on Exhibit G-2 (other than the Tariff Processing Fee applicable to such calculations, which will instead be as determined pursuant to this Exhibit G-4 instead of Exhibit G-2).
