ARTICLE 3

SYSTEM SERVICES; PROVIDER COVENANTS

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, 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 NGLs to the Plant via the Plant Facilities; (iii) the processing and/or treatment of such Customer Gas; (iv) the fractionation 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, at its sole cost, risk and expense, the TGP System and the other facilities, in each case, as are necessary to provide the System Services contemplated in this Agreement 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 the TGP 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 TGP System; Bypass; Ethane Recovery. Provider shall have sole and exclusive control, management, and operational discretion in operating the TGP System. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(a) Any decision by Provider 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 the processing train, shall be undertaken in the manner set forth in the Operating Terms.

(b) Customer shall have the option, at any time during the Term, to request that all or a portion of the Customer Gas Bypass certain System Services 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 the System Services hereunder in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) cause Provider, or the TGP System, to be unable to comply with any applicable Law, or (iii) cause any adverse effect on Provider, the TGP System or any other asset of Provider, then, in such case, Provider shall consider such request and use its good faith efforts to implement such request.

(c) The base operating mode of the Plant will be “Ethane Recovery Mode”, for the separate recovery of ethane from the Gas and Injected NGL stream. If Provider, in its sole discretion, believes that operating in Ethane Recovery Mode 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 Provider, or the TGP System, to be unable to comply with any applicable Law, (y) cause any adverse effect on Provider, the TGP System or any other asset of Provider, 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, then, in any such case, Provider may cause the Plant to operate in “Ethane Rejection Mode”. Should Provider intend to cause the Plan to operate in Ethane Rejection Mode pursuant to the preceding sentence, Provider shall give Customer written Notice of such desire as soon as is reasonably practicable following such determination.

(i) Assuming that all Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs Tendered by or on behalf of Customer at the 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 TGP System to (A) achieve the recovery rates set forth in Exhibit G-3 under the heading “Ethane Recovery Mode” when operating in Ethane Recovery Mode, and (B) achieve the recovery rates set forth in Exhibit G-3 under the heading “Ethane Rejection Mode” when operating in Ethane Rejection Mode.

(ii) 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 Plant will be “Sulfur Recovery Mode”, for the separate recovery of sulfur from the Gas and Injected NGL stream. 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 Provider, or the TGP System, to be unable to comply with any applicable Law, (C) cause any adverse effect on Provider, the TGP System or any other asset of Provider, 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 contain less than a total of ** percent (**%) by volume of hydrogen sulfide, then, in any such case, Provider may cause the Plant to cease operating in Sulfur Recovery Mode. Provider shall give Customer written Notice of any determination made by Provider to cease operating the Plant in Sulfur Recovery Mode as far in advance as is reasonably possible from the date upon which Provider intends to cease operating the Plant in Sulfur Recovery Mode.

Section 3.5 Third Party Facilities. Except for situations of Force Majeure, or as may be required by necessary repairs, maintenance, or outages on the TGP 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 TGP System for performance of the System Services under this Agreement, and then only with notice to Customer as soon as reasonably practical.

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) Customer Gas that Customer owns or Controls through one of the contracts described on Exhibit B-2, which Exhibit shall be updated at least annually by the Parties as part of the Development Plan and System Plan processes pursuant to Article 5 (such contracts, the “Dedicated Contracts”). Pending any formal amendment of Exhibit B-2 to update the list of Dedicated Contracts contained thereon, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Customer’s delivery of Notice to Provider pursuant to Section 19.2 indicating Customer’s intent to dedicate a contract to Provider under this Agreement as a “Dedicated Contract” shall be sufficient to classify (A) such contract as a “Dedicated 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 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 “Dedicated Production” for all purposes hereunder.

(b) All Dedicated Producer Gas and all Customer Gas subject to a Dedicated 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 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 Contract pursuant to its terms, or (B) the removal of any individual well from the coverage of any such Dedicated 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 TGP System (each, a “Conflicting Dedication”) that (a) is in effect as of January 1, 2017 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, 2017. 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, 2017, 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 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 TGP 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 TGP 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 TGP 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(d) 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.

ARTICLE 6

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 TGP System a minimum volume 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 2017 are set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto. Following Year 2016, the MVC with respect to any Quarter occurring in the then-subsequent three Year period shall be equal to 80% of the applicable Dedicated Production Estimate for such Quarter contained in the then-currently agreed Development Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and regardless of the Dedicated Production 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). 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 Dedicated Production Estimate 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.

(a) 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.

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 Processing Fees payable by Customer during any such Quarter in connection with volumes of Customer Gas 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 applicable 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 delivered in excess of the applicable 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 Processing Fee attributable to volumes of Customer Gas, stated in Mcfs, 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 in excess of the applicable 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 shall be no outstanding “MVC Shortfall Credits” (as such term is defined in the Original Agreement), and any such amounts that (i) have accrued on or prior to December 31, 2016 pursuant to the Original Agreement, but (ii) have not (or cannot) be 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(e), 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.

ARTICLE 7

(b) Each Month, Customer shall pay to Provider a fee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the Gas Lift Services provided by Provider with respect to Customer Gas received by Provider from Customer or for Customer’s account during such Month that is determined as follows: (i) the aggregate volume of Customer Gas utilizing the Gas Lift Services, stated in Mcfs, multiplied by (ii) the Gas Lift Fee.

(c) Each Month, Customer shall pay to Provider fees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the Loading Services provided by Provider with respect to Customer NGLs during such Month that is determined as follows:

(i) with respect to Customer NGLs utilizing the Loading Services at the Truck Delivery Points: (A) the aggregate volume of Customer NGLs utilizing the Loading Services at the Truck Delivery Points during such Month, stated in Barrels, multiplied by (B) the Truck Loading Fee; and

(ii) with respect to Customer NGLs utilizing the Loading Services at the Rail Car Delivery Points: (A) the aggregate volume of Customer NGLs utilizing the Loading Services at the Rail Car Delivery Points during such Month, stated in Barrels, multiplied by (B) the Rail Loading Fee.

(d) Each Month, Customer shall pay to Provider a fee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the Transportation Services provided by Provider with respect to Customer Gas received by Provider from Customer or for Customer’s account during such Month that is determined as follows: (i) an amount equal to (A) the aggregate volume of Customer Gas delivered to the HNDP Fee Points during such Month, stated in Mcfs, less (B) the aggregate volume of Customer Gas utilizing the Gas Lift Services during such Month, stated in Mcfs, multiplied by (ii) the HNDP Fee.

(e) For any Quarter, should Customer fail to Tender an aggregate volume of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs to Provider 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 TGP 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 TGP System at the Receipt Points during such Quarter but not received into the TGP System by Provider 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 TGP 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 Processing Fee.

(f) If any Updated Development Plan contains, for any Year, a Dedicated Production Estimate that is at least 15% greater than the Dedicated Production Estimate for such Year 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 Dedicated Production 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) the aggregate volumes of Dedicated Production and Customer Injected NGLs (including volumes of Dedicated Production, Customer Injected NGLs and other Customer Gas that Customer intends to dedicate pursuant to a new Dedicated Contract but for which Exhibit B-2 has not yet been amended pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(ii)) contained in a Dedicated Production 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 aggregate volumes shall not, for purposes of the recalculation (A) exceed the applicable Dedicated Production Estimates for such Years as contained in the applicable Development Plans or (B) be deemed to be lower than the applicable MVC for such Years as contained in the applicable Development Plans;

(ii) any Committed Build-Out Costs actually incurred by Provider prior to such Year during the Term, regardless whether or not such amounts are less than, equal to or greater than the applicable Committed Build-Out Estimates for such Years;

(iii) the Committed Build-Out Estimates contained in the then-current System Budget for the current and future Years;

(iv) the Maintenance Capital Estimates (A) for the previous Years of the Term as contained in the System Budgets applicable to such Years, and (B) contained in the then-current System Budget for the current and future Years;

(v) the Operating Expense Estimates (A) for the previous Years of the Term as contained in the System Budgets applicable to such Years, and (B) contained in the then-current System Budget for the current and future Years;

(vi) the Historical Capital Expenditures;

(vii) the Dedicated Production Estimates;

(viii) the then-current Return on Capital; and

(ix) the percentage change, from the preceding Year, in the Consumer Price Index as published by the Department of Labor, in the subsection titled “Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers” (such index, the “CPI”). For purposes of any Recalculation Election and notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, (A) no increase or decrease to any Fee resulting solely from a CPI adjustment shall exceed 3.0% for any given Year, and (B) no Fee shall ever be decreased as a result of any applicable CPI percentage change below the original amount of such Fee set forth in Exhibit G-1 for Year 2014.

(h) Except as set forth in Section 4.4(a)(i), any Fees recalculated under Section 7.1(g) shall apply as of January 1^st of the Year to which the relevant Updated Development Plan leading to such Recalculation Election first applies, and shall remain in effect for the remainder of the Term until such Fees may subsequently be re-calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(g).

(i) Following any (i) Recalculation Election made pursuant to Section 7.1(g), (ii) determination of any Fee pursuant to Section 7.1(j) (once such Section of this Agreement becomes applicable hereunder), or (iii) other agreement by the Parties upon any changes to any Fee hereunder, whether such changes are agreed pursuant to an agreed Updated Development Plan and related updated System Plan or otherwise, in each case, the Parties shall update Exhibit G-1 to reflect such updated Fee amount(s).

(ii) the provisions of Section 5.2(b)(iv), Section 7.1(f), Section 7.1(g) and Section 7.1(h) shall no longer be applicable hereunder and such Sections shall be disregarded for all purposes of this Agreement.

(k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to all periods prior to January 1, 2017, the definition of “Fee” and its constituent sub-definitions contained in the Original Agreement and the Fee mechanisms set forth in Section 7.1(a) through 7.1(j) of the Original Agreement shall, in each case, remain applicable hereunder with respect to the System Services provided prior to January 1, 2017.

Section 7.2 Charges. Each Month, Customer shall pay to Provider an amount equal to Customer’s allocated portion of the actual costs incurred by Provider for electricity required for the ownership, maintenance and operation of the TGP System, such allocation to be based upon the aggregate volumes of (a) Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs Tendered by Customer at the Receipt Points and received by Provider into the TGP System during such Month, and (b) Non-Party Gas and Non-Party Injected NGLs tendered by a Non-Party at the Receipt Points and received by Provider into the TGP System during such Month; provided, that costs for electricity required for compression will be allocated proportionately among only that Customer Gas and Non-Party Gas that require the use of such compression (such amount as allocated to Customer for a Month, the “Charges”).

Section 7.3 Flaring. In the event that (a) any volume of Customer Gas (including any Customer Residue Gas) is flared after being delivered into the TGP System, and (b) (i) such flaring was caused by the Operational Failure of the TGP System or by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Provider, then Customer shall (A) nevertheless be entitled to count such flared volumes of Customer Gas as having been Tendered to the TGP System for purposes of meeting any applicable MVC, and (B) shall not be required to pay any applicable Fees with respect to such flared volumes of Customer Gas (with such volumes of Gas for which Customer is not obligated to pay Fees to be reflected in the applicable Invoice for such Month), or (ii) such flaring was caused by any other reason, then Customer shall not be entitled to any credit or other reduction in Fees as a result of such flaring. Notwithstanding the above, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to minimize overall flaring in the TGP System.

Section 7.4 System GL&U. Customer acknowledges that certain volumetric losses and/or gains of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs (and/or the resulting Customer Residue Gas and Customer NGLs) will occur even if the System Services are conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2, and such gains and/or losses attributable to System GL&U shall be shared and allocated among all customers on the TGP System in the proportion that each such customer Tenders Gas and Injected NGLs to the Receipt Points on the TGP System. Customer’s allocated share of the System GL&U shall be based on actual gains and losses attributable to System GL&U and shall not be subject to any minimum or maximum limits.

Section 7.5 System Fuel. Reductions in volumes of Customer Gas (including any Customer Residue Gas) due to the usage of Customer Gas as measured System Fuel shall be shared and allocated among all customers on the TGP System in the proportion that each such customer Tenders Gas to the Receipt Points on the TGP System. Customer’s allocated share of the System Fuel shall be based on actual usage of System Fuel and shall not be subject to any minimum or maximum limits.

Section 7.6 NGLs and Residue Gas. All NGLs and Residue Gas recovered from the operation of the TGP System and the provision of the Processing Services that are allocated to Customer in accordance with Section 1.7 of the Operating Terms (including any System GL&U) shall be the property of Customer, and Provider shall have no claim of ownership with respect thereto.

(b) All Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs that are not Dedicated Production shall, only to the extent such volumes of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs (together with all quantities of Dedicated Production Tendered to the TGP System) are both (i) needed by Customer to fulfill the then-applicable MVC, and (ii) less than or equal to **% of the then-current total capacity of the TGP System, be entitled to Anchor Customer Firm Service.

(c) All Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs that are not Dedicated Production shall, to the extent such Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs (together with all other quantities of Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs Tendered to the TGP System, including any Dedicated Production) is in excess of the then-applicable MVC, but less than or equal to **% of the then-current total capacity of the TGP System, be entitled to Firm Service.

(d) All Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs not described in subsections (a) through (c) above shall only be entitled to Interruptible Service.

Section 8.2 Governmental Action. In the event any Governmental Authority issues an order requiring Provider to allocate capacity on the TGP System to another customer, Provider shall do so by (a) first, reducing Hydrocarbons entitled to Interruptible Service, (b) second, reducing Hydrocarbons entitled to Firm Service, and shall only curtail Hydrocarbons entitled to Firm Service (which curtailment shall be done in accordance with Section 8.5) to the extent necessary to allocate such capacity as required by the Governmental Authority to such other customer, after complete curtailment of Interruptible Service, and (c) third, reducing Hydrocarbons entitled to Anchor Customer Firm Service, and shall only curtail Hydrocarbons entitled to Anchor Customer Firm Service (which curtailment shall be done in accordance with Section 8.5) to the extent necessary to allocate such capacity as required by the Governmental Authority to such other customer, after complete curtailment of Interruptible Service and Firm Service. In such event Provider shall not be in breach or default of its obligations under the Agreement and shall have no liability to Customer in connection with or resulting from any such curtailment; provided, however, that Provider shall, at Customer’s request, temporarily release from the dedication under this Agreement all of Customer’s volumes of Dedicated Production

(including the resulting Customer Residue Gas and Customer NGLs) interrupted or curtailed as the result of such allocation, but only for the duration of such mandated allocation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any Governmental Authority issue an order requiring Provider to allocate capacity on the TGP System to a customer other than Customer, Provider agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with, and support, Customer in such actions that Customer may in good faith take against such Governmental Authority and/or order; provided, however, that Provider shall not be required to cooperate in any such undertaking that Provider, in its good faith opinion, believes would materially and adversely affect Provider or the TGP System.

Section 8.3 Tender of Dedicated Production, Customer Injected NGLs and Additional Gas. Subject to Article 14 and all applicable Laws, each Day during the Term Customer shall Tender to the TGP System at each applicable Receipt Point all of the Dedicated Production and Customer Injected NGLs available to Customer at such Receipt Point up to the applicable capacity of such Receipt Point. Customer shall have the right to Tender to Provider for System Services under this Agreement Additional Gas; provided that, subject to Section 8.1, any such Additional Gas shall only be entitled to Interruptible Service unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties.

Section 8.4 Nominations, Scheduling and Curtailment. Nominations and scheduling of Hydrocarbons available for, and interruptions, Bypass and curtailment of, System Services under this Agreement shall be performed in accordance with the applicable Operating Terms set forth in Appendix I.

Section 8.5 Suspension/Shutdown of Service.

In such cases, Provider shall have no liability to Customer, except to the extent such shut down is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Provider (and then Provider shall have liability only to the extent of such gross negligence or willful misconduct).

(b) Provider shall have the right to curtail or interrupt receipts and deliveries of Gas and/or Injected NGLs (including the resulting Residue Gas and NGLs) for brief periods to perform necessary maintenance of and repairs or modifications to (including modifications required to perform its obligations under this Agreement) the TGP System; provided, however, that Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) coordinate its maintenance, repair, and modification operations on the TGP System with the operations of Customer and (ii) schedule maintenance, repair, and modification operations on the TGP System so as to avoid or minimize, to the greatest extent possible, service curtailments or interruptions on the TGP System. Provider shall provide Customer with (A) 60 Days prior Notice of any upcoming

normal and routine maintenance, repair, and modification projects that Provider has planned that would result in a curtailment or interruption of Customer’s deliveries of Customer Gas and/or Customer Injected NGLs (including the resulting Customer Residue Gas and Customer NGLs) on the TGP System and the estimated time period for such curtailment or interruption, whether or not such maintenance, repair or modifications activities are contained in the then-current System Budget, and (B) Notice of any amendment, modification or other change to the schedule of maintenance, repair or modifications activities contained in the then-current System Budget.

(c) It is specifically understood by Customer that operations and activities on facilities upstream or downstream of the TGP System beyond Provider’s control may impact operations on the TGP System, and the Parties agree that Provider shall have no liability therefor unless any such impact was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Provider (and then Provider shall have liability only to the extent of such gross negligence or willful misconduct). Customer is required to obtain, maintain or otherwise secure capacity on or into the Downstream Facilities applicable to each Delivery Point that is sufficient to accommodate the volumes of Customer Residue Gas and/or Customer NGLs that were Nominated by Customer to such Delivery Points. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.6, should Customer fail to arrange such adequate downstream transportation, Provider may (i) cease receipts of Customer Gas and/or Customer Injected NGLs at the Receipt Points, or (ii) may continue receipts of Customer Gas and/or Customer Injected NGLs at the Receipt Points and then deliver and sell any Residue Gas or NGLs allocable to such Customer Gas and/or Customer Injected NGLs to any purchaser at its sole discretion, accounting to Customer for the net value received from the sale of such Hydrocarbons (after costs of transportation, taxes, and other costs of marketing).

(d) If at any time Provider interrupts or curtails receipts and deliveries of Customer Gas and/or Customer Injected NGLs pursuant to this Section 8.5 (other than Section 8.5(c)) for a period of 30 consecutive Days, then, at Customer’s written request, the affected volumes of Dedicated Production shall be temporarily released from dedication to this Agreement for a period commencing as of the date of such request and ending as of the next first Day of a Month following the expiration date of Customer’s mitigating commercial arrangement for such Dedicated Production; provided that, in any event, such period shall end no more than 180 Days following Customer’s receipt of Notice from Provider that such receipts and deliveries are no longer interrupted or curtailed.

Section 8.6 Hydrocarbon Marketing and Transportation. As between the Parties, Customer shall be solely responsible for, and shall make all necessary arrangements at and downstream of the Delivery Points for, receipt, further transportation, processing, and marketing of Customer Residue Gas and Customer NGLs.

Section 8.7 Downstream Delivery Points. Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain, and shall act as a reasonable and prudent operator in maintaining, all interconnect and operating agreements with Non-Parties reasonably necessary to facilitate the redelivery of Customer Residue Gas and Customer NGLs to Customer at the Delivery Points.

Section 8.8 Loading Point Vetting. Customer shall have the obligation to ensure that procedures are in place such that all trucks and rail cars receiving Customer NGLs at a Loading Point meet the Applicable Requirements and all Plant Rules. Provider shall advise Customer of such standards and any changes thereto.

ARTICLE 9

QUALITY AND PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS

Section 9.1 Quality Specifications. All Gas and Injected NGLs delivered at the Receipt Points by Customer to Provider shall meet the applicable quality specifications set forth in Section 1.1 of the Operating Terms.

(a) Provided that Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs delivered to the Receipt Points complies with the applicable quality specifications set forth in Section 1.1 of the Operating Terms, all Customer Residue Gas and Customer NGLs that are redelivered at the Delivery Points by Provider to Customer shall meet the quality specifications of the applicable Downstream Facilities at the relevant Delivery Points; provided, however, that in the event any such quality specifications of the applicable Downstream Facilities change from and after the date of this Agreement, Provider’s obligations under this Section 9.1(a) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 1.1(b) of the Operating Terms.

(b) The Parties recognize and agree that Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs received into the TGP System may be commingled with other Gas and Injected NGL receipts and, subject to Provider’s obligation set forth in Section 9.1(a), (i) such Hydrocarbons shall be subject to such changes in quality, composition and other characteristics as may result from such commingling, and (ii) Provider shall have no other obligation to Customer associated with changes in quality of Hydrocarbons as the result of such commingling.

Section 9.2 Pressure. Customer shall Tender or cause to be Tendered Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs to each applicable Receipt Point at sufficient pressure to enter the TGP System against its contractual operating pressure, but not in excess of the maximum operating pressure for such Receipt Point. Provider shall redeliver Customer Residue Gas and Customer NGLs at each applicable Delivery Point at pressures not in excess of the maximum operating pressure for such Delivery Point.

(a) Customer shall have the means to ensure that Customer Gas and Customer Injected NGLs are prevented from entering the TGP System at pressures in excess of the applicable maximum operating pressure, and Provider shall have the obligation and right to restrict the flow of Gas and Injected NGLs into the TGP System to protect the TGP System from over pressuring.

(b) Provider’s obligation to redeliver Customer Residue Gas and Customer NGLs to a given Delivery Point shall, subject to Provider’s compliance with Section 8.7, be subject to the operational limitations of the Downstream Facility receiving such Customer Residue Gas or Customer NGLs, including the Downstream Facility’s capacity, measurement capability, operating pressures and any operational balancing agreements as may be applicable.

ARTICLE 10

TERMINATION

Section 10.1 Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated in its entirety as follows:

(i) by Provider upon written Notice to Customer, 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 30 Days of written Notice of such failure to Customer by Provider;

(ii) by one Party upon written Notice to the other Party, if such second Party fails to perform or comply with any material warranty, covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement (other than (A) as provided above in Section 10.1(a)(i), (B) for reasons of Force Majeure in accordance with Article 14, or (C) with respect to any material warranty, covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement for which this Agreement expressly sets forth a specific remedy or consequence (other than termination) as a result of any breach of, or failure to comply with, such material warranty, covenant or obligation), and such failure has not been remedied within 60 Days after receipt of written Notice from the non-defaulting Party of such failure;

(iii) by Provider upon written Notice to Customer, if Customer or Customer Parent (A) makes an assignment or any general arrangement for the benefit of creditors, (B) files a petition or otherwise commences, authorizes, or acquiesces in the commencement of a proceeding or cause under any bankruptcy or similar Law for the protection of creditors or has such petition filed or proceeding commenced against either of them, or (C) otherwise becomes bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced);

(iv) by Provider upon written Notice to Customer pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.4(c); and

(v) by Provider upon written Notice to Customer pursuant to the provisions of Section 18.2.

(b) This Agreement may be terminated if the TGP System is Uneconomic during any six consecutive Months, by Provider upon written Notice to Customer delivered within 180 Days following the end of such sixth consecutive Month.

(i) As used herein, “Uneconomic” means that (A) the total direct operating costs and expenses incurred by Provider in the operation of the TGP System (including general and administrative expenses, insurance costs and any out of pocket repair and/or maintenance costs and expenses) exceeds (B) the total net revenues received by Provider for the operation of the TGP System, all as determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

(ii) Should Provider reasonably believe that the TGP System will be Uneconomic for more than three consecutive Months, Provider shall advise Customer of such belief and shall provide Customer with supporting documentation reasonably necessary to confirm such Uneconomic status.

(iii) Promptly following Provider advising Customer of such potential Uneconomic status, the Parties shall meet to discuss Provider’s belief and related calculations and any measures that may be taken by the Parties to mitigate and/or reverse the Uneconomic status of the TGP System.

(iv) Should (A) the Parties fail to reach agreement upon any such appropriate mitigation measures prior to the date upon which Provider would otherwise be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(b), (B) the Parties reasonably believe that agreement upon such mitigation measures will nevertheless be possible, and (C) Customer makes Provider whole during any such Uneconomic periods occurring during such negotiation period such that, due to Customer’s payment efforts, the operation of the TGP System is not Uneconomic to Provider (whether through Customer paying of the operating costs of the TGP System or otherwise), then for so long as subparts (B) and (C) of this Section 10.1(b)(iv) remain true, Provider shall not be entitled to exercise its termination rights pursuant to this Section 10.1(b).

(v) Upon the implementation of any such mitigating measures hereunder, should (A) the Uneconomic condition cease to exist for three consecutive Months, and (B) the reversion of any such mitigating measures not be reasonably likely to cause such Uneconomic condition to return, then any terms of this Agreement affected by such mitigating measures will revert back to the terms in effect prior to Provider’s declaration of Uneconomic status pursuant to this Section 10.1(b).

Section 10.2 Effect of Termination or Expiration of the Term.

(a) Upon the end of the Term (whether pursuant to a termination pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or otherwise), this Agreement shall forthwith become void and the Parties shall have no liability or obligation under this Agreement, except that (i) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any Party from any expense, liability or other obligation or remedy therefor which has accrued or attached prior to the date of such termination, and (ii) the provisions of Section 16.2 through Section 16.5, and Article 19 (other than Section 19.3), and such portions of Appendix II as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing, shall, in each case, survive such termination and remain in full force and effect indefinitely.

(b) Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(b), this Agreement shall forthwith become void and the Parties shall have no liability or obligation under this Agreement, except that (i) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any Party from

Section 10.3 Damages for Early Termination. If a Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(i), Section 10.1(a)(ii), Section 10.1(a)(iii), or Section 10.1(a)(v), then such terminating Party may pursue any and all remedies at law or in equity for its claims resulting from such termination, subject to Section 16.4.

ARTICLE 11

TITLE AND CUSTODY

Section 11.1 Title. A Nomination (or Tendering without a Nomination) of Gas or Injected NGLs by Customer shall be deemed a warranty of title to such Gas or Injected NGLs (including any Customer Residue Gas or Customer NGLs resulting therefrom) by Customer, or a warranty of the right of Customer to deliver such Gas or Injected NGLs (including any Customer Residue Gas or Customer NGLs resulting therefrom) for processing and fractionation under this Agreement. By Nominating Gas and/or Injected NGLs for delivery into the TGP System at the Receipt Point(s), Customer also agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Provider harmless from any and all Losses resulting from any claims by a Non-Party of title or rights to such Gas or Injected NGLs (including any Customer Residue Gas or Customer NGLs resulting therefrom), other than any claims arising out of Provider’s breach of its warranty made in the succeeding sentence of this Section 11.1. By receiving Customer Gas and/or Customer Injected NGLs at the Receipt Points, Provider (a) warrants to Customer that Provider has the right to accept and redeliver such Gas or Injected NGLs (including any Customer Residue Gas or Customer NGLs resulting therefrom), less any System Fuel and Losses, free and clear of any title disputes, liens or encumbrances arising by, through or under Provider, but not otherwise, and (b) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from any and all Losses resulting from title disputes, liens or encumbrances arising by, through or under Provider, but not otherwise. Title to Customer’s share of System Fuel and Losses shall be transferred to Provider at the Receipt Points. Title to any water, contaminants, inerts or other components of Customer Gas or Customer Injected NGLs that are removed pursuant to the System Services and not returned to Customer or for its account under this Agreement shall transfer to Provider at the Receipt Points.

Section 11.2 Custody. From and after the delivery of Customer Gas or Customer Injected NGLs to Provider at the Receipt Point(s), until Provider’s redelivery of Customer Residue Gas and/or Customer NGLs resulting from such Customer Gas to or for Customer’s account at the applicable Delivery Point(s), as between the Parties, Provider shall have custody and control of such Hydrocarbons. In all other circumstances, as between the Parties, Customer shall be deemed to have custody and control of such Hydrocarbons.

ARTICLE 12

BILLING AND PAYMENT

Section 12.1 Invoices. On or before the 25^th Day of each Month, Provider will render to Customer an invoice (each, an “Invoice”) for all Fees (including the calculations thereof) owed for System Services provided to Customer for the preceding Month, all Charges attributable to the preceding Month and any other amounts as may be due under this Agreement for the preceding Month, net of (a) any deductions to which Customer is entitled in respect of flaring in accordance with Section 7.3, and (b) any other credits or deductions to which Customer is entitled hereunder, including any MVC Shortfall Credit. Each Invoice shall also contain the volumes of all System Fuel and Losses allocated to Customer in accordance with this Agreement. Provider shall include with each Invoice such information in its possession as is reasonably sufficient to explain and support both the amounts due and any adjustments to amounts previously invoiced.

Section 12.2 Payments. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, payments of amounts included in any Invoice delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be due and payable, in accordance with each Invoice’s instructions, on or before the later of (a) the last Day of each Month, and (b) the date that is ten Business Days after Customer’s receipt of the applicable Invoice. All payments by Customer under this Agreement shall be made by electronic funds transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Provider in the applicable Invoice. Any amounts not paid by the due date will be deemed delinquent and will accrue interest at the Interest Rate, such interest to be calculated from and including the due date but excluding the date the delinquent amount is paid in full. All Invoices shall be paid in full, but payment of any disputed amount shall not waive the payor’s right to dispute the Invoice in accordance with this Section 12.2. Customer may, in good faith (i) dispute the correctness of any Invoice or any adjustment to an Invoice rendered under this Agreement or (ii) request an adjustment of any Invoice for any arithmetic or computational error, in each case, within 24 Months following the date on which the applicable Invoice (or adjustment thereto) was received by Customer. Any dispute of an Invoice by Customer or Invoice adjustment requested by Customer shall be made in writing and shall state the basis for such dispute or adjustment. Upon resolution of the dispute, any required payment shall be made within ten Business Days of such resolution, along with interest accrued at the Interest Rate from and including the due date but excluding the date paid.

Section 12.3 Audit. Each Party has the right, at its sole expense and during normal working hours, to examine the records of the other Party to the extent reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, charge or computation made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The scope of such examination will be limited to the previous 24 Months calculated following the end of the Month in which such Notice of audit, statement, charge or computation was presented. No Party shall have the right to conduct more than one audit during any Year. If any such examination reveals any inaccuracy in any statement or charge, the necessary adjustments in such statement or charge and the payments necessitated thereby shall be made within ten Business Days of resolution of the inaccuracy. This Section 12.3 will survive

any termination of the Agreement for the later of (a) a period of 24 Months from the end of the Month in which the date of such termination occurred and (b) until a dispute initiated within such 24 Month period is finally resolved, in each case for the purpose of such statement and payment objections.

ARTICLE 13

REMEDIES

Section 13.1 Suspension of Performance; Release from Dedication.

(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. 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 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.

Appendix I - Page 8

(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.

Appendix I - Page 9

(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 TGP System.

1.5 Curtailment and/or Bypass of Hydrocarbons. If (a) capacity on the TGP 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 TGP 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 TGP 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 TGP 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 TGP 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 TGP System during such period. During periods of curtailment on the TGP System, the Parties shall meet to review alternative options for Customer to optimize its overall volume throughput and related revenues in light of the specific constraints causing such curtailment on the TGP System.

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 TGP 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 TGP 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 TGP System at all Receipt Points upstream of the applicable Fuel Point during such Month.

Appendix I - Page 10

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

(d) Total Shrinkage on the TGP 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. 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 TGP 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.

(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

Appendix I - Page 11

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.

1.9 Mcf Equivalents. For purposes of this Agreement, an NGL “Mcf Equivalent” or “MCFE” will be calculated as follows:

For purposes of the formula included above, the following abbreviations have the meanings set forth below.

(a) “A” = MCFE of NGLs.

PLANT

Tioga Gas Plant

The Plant is located in Tioga, North Dakota, and consists of a 250,000 Mcf/Day cryogenic Gas processing facility with ethane recovery capabilities that produces low Btu, pipeline-quality natural gas and a 60,000 Barrels/Day fractionation facility with NGL fractionation capabilities for ethane, propane and butane and natural gasoline. The Plant is capable of processing sour gas and can recover up to 225 long tons per day of sulfur.

The Plant was initially constructed in 1954. The Plant subsequently underwent a large-scale expansion, refurbishment and optimization project that was completed in late March 2014, during which a new cryogenic processing train with a nameplate processing capacity of 250,000 Mcf/Day was installed.

As used herein, the “Plant” and the “TGP System” specifically exclude the CNG terminal that is under construction at the Plant Site.

PLANT FACILITIES

Hess North Dakota Natural Gas Pipeline

The TGP System includes the Hess North Dakota Natural Gas Pipeline, an approximately 60-mile 10.75-inch Residue Gas pipeline that connects the Plant to the interstate Northern Border Pipeline at Cherry Creek, North Dakota. This pipeline was constructed in 1992 and is capable of delivering 65,000 Mcf/Day of Residue Gas to the Northern Border Pipeline at Cherry Creek and up to 25,000 Mcf/Day of Residue Gas to gas lift operations in XxXxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx Counties, North Dakota.

3rd Party Residue Gas Line Interconnections

The TGP System also includes direct Residue Gas pipeline connections to both the Alliance Pipeline and the Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline.

The total Residue Gas offtake capacity from the TGP System into the Hess North Dakota Natural Gas Pipeline, Alliance Pipeline and the Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline is approximately 190,000 Mcf/Day.

NGL Truck Loading Racks, NGL Storage, and Refined Product Line Interconnections

The TGP System also includes four NGL truck loading racks with an aggregate loading capacity of 11,000 Barrels/Day of propane to serve the local propane market, as well as 22 NGL bullet storage tanks and five NGL storage tanks with a combined shell capacity of approximately 36,000 Barrels of propane, 18,000 Barrels of butane and 34,000 Barrels of natural gasoline.

Plant Inlet Gas and NGL Pipelines from Silurian and Xxxxxxx Truck Facility

The TGP System also includes pipelines delivering inlet Gas and NGLs from the Silurian and Xxxxxxx Truck Facility areas. This includes a 7.5 mile 16” high pressure Gas pipeline from Silurian, a 1 mile section of 10” Gas pipeline from the Xxxxxxx Truck Facility to Silurian, a 9 mile 12” high pressure Gas pipeline from the Xxxxxxx Truck Facility to the Plant, and 7.5 miles of 8” NGL pipeline from Silurian to the Plant.

FEE RECALCULATION MODEL

Original Methodology

•

The production profile used will be based on the Current Development Plan. 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 and Maintenance Capital Estimates are based on the Current System Plan.

•

Operating Expense Estimates are derived from the Current System Plan.

•

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 and Committed Build-Out 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 in the Initial Term (10 years), divided by (B) the cumulative throughput from the Current Development Plan over the full plan period (20 years).

•

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

•

Fees are expressed as an escalating $/Mcf or $/Barrel, as applicable, figure required to achieve the Return on Capital.

•

Fees are 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.

Exhibit G-2 - Page 1

Redetermination Methodology

Each year, if a Recalculation Election is made pursuant to Section 7.1(g), the Fees will be recalculated to reflect:

•

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

•

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 TGP System.

•

Adjusted Residual Value based on latest Updated Development Plan.

•

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