The existence of this right will not preclude any Party from pursuing any other rights and remedies at law or in equity that such Party may have.

Section 11.2 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 Section 11.3 and Article 15.

Force Majeure

Section 12.1 Force Majeure. If either Midstream Co or Producer is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to carry out, in whole or part, its obligations under this Agreement and such Party gives notice (which notice may initially be delivered orally so long as written notice is delivered as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) and reasonably full details of the event (including the nature, extent, effect, and likely duration of the event or circumstances constituting the Force Majeure 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 Party affected by the event shall be canceled or suspended, as applicable, to the extent required; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in the

22 Third Amended and Restated Crude Oil Treating Agreement

foregoing to the contrary, no Party shall be relieved from any indemnification obligation or any obligation to make payments, as the result of Force Majeure, regardless of which Party is affected; provided further that if the Force Majeure impacts only a particular Individual System, then the suspension of obligations described in this sentence shall apply only to the applicable Individual System and not to the obligations owing in connection with the rest of the System. The Party affected by Force Majeure 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.

Section 12.2 Extension Due to Force Majeure.

(b) Producer shall accept or reject, in its sole discretion, Midstream Co’s proposed increase to the Individual Fee within 30 Days after receiving such proposal from Midstream Co. If Producer fails to provide notice of such acceptance or rejection within such 30-Day period, then Producer shall be deemed to have accepted such increase. If Producer rejects the amount of the proposed increase, then Midstream Co shall release the Wells, Receipt Points, and Dedicated Production that would have been affected by such increase in accordance with Section 2.4(a)(viii). The Parties will amend, update, or revise the applicable Agreement Addendum in accordance with this Agreement to reflect any changes in the applicable Individual Fees agreed to in accordance with this Section 13.1.

(c) Producer and Midstream Co shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to comply with new and amended applicable Laws and new interpretations of existing Laws.

23 Third Amended and Restated Crude Oil Treating Agreement

Section 13.2 Unprofitable Operations and Rights of Termination.

(a) Cessation of Services. If, in the sole discretion of Midstream Co, (i) the polishing, processing or treating of Product at any Individual System, or (ii) the delivery of Processed Crude Oil to any Delivery Point, under this Agreement, is or becomes uneconomical due to its volume, quality, or for any other cause, then Midstream Co shall not be obligated to provide the applicable Services so long as such condition exists.

(i) If Midstream Co suspends Services under this Section 13.2(a) as a result of Producer’s (A) negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement, or (B) delivery of Product that fails to meet the quality specifications required by Section 7.1, then Midstream Co may resume providing such Services at any time, upon two months’ advance written notice delivered to Producer, and the affected Wells, facilities, Receipt Points, and Dedicated Production shall only be permanently released as a result of suspension under this clause by mutual agreement of the Parties under Section 2.4(a)(iv).

(ii) If Midstream Co suspends Services under this Section 13.2(a) for any reason other than as specified in clause (i) above and (x) such suspension continues for six consecutive Months or (y) Midstream Co delivers notice to Producer that such suspension shall be permanent, then the applicable Wells, facilities, Receipt Points, and Dedicated Production shall be permanently released as specified in Section 2.4(a)(ix).

(b) Reserved.

(c) Start of Suspension of Services. Midstream Co shall cause any suspension of Services permitted by this Section 13.2 to commence on the first Day of a Month and not on any other Day.

(d) Supporting Documentation. As soon as Midstream Co determines that continuing to provide Services at existing facilities has been rendered uneconomic, Midstream Co shall communicate the same to Producer. Such notice shall be delivered to Producer at least 60 Days in advance of any proposed curtailment under this Section 13.2 and such notice shall be accompanied by documentation supporting its claim that certain Services have become uneconomical. Nothing in this Section 13.2(d) shall give Producer a right to consent to a suspension under this Section 13.2.

(e) No Obligation to Drill or Operate. Nothing herein shall be construed to require Producer to drill any Well or to continue to operate any Well that a prudent operator would not in like circumstances drill or continue to operate.

Article 14

Regulatory Status

Section 14.1 Non-Jurisdictional System. The Services being provided by Midstream Co hereunder are intended to be processing and treatment services, and no Governmental Authority currently establishes the rates or terms of service relating to the Services. This Agreement is subject to all valid present and future Laws of Governmental Authorities now or hereafter having jurisdiction over the Parties, this Agreement, the Services performed, or the

24 Third Amended and Restated Crude Oil Treating Agreement

System. It is the intent of the Parties that no Governmental Authority shall alter any provisions in the Agreement in such a way that would have the effect of altering the economic benefits of either Party, as originally contemplated under this Agreement. The Parties shall (a) vigorously defend and support in good faith the enforceability of this Agreement and the continuance, without alternation, of the Services in any and all proceedings before any Governmental Authority in which this Agreement is subject to review and (b) not initiate or support, either directly or indirectly, any challenge with any Governmental Authorities to the rates provided herein or any other modification to this Agreement that would alter the economic benefits of a Party as originally contemplated under this Agreement.

Section 14.2 Government Authority Modification. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.1, if the rates are changed or required to be changed or any other modification to this Agreement that alters the economic benefits of a Party, as originally contemplated under this Agreement, in response to any order, regulation, or other mandate of a Governmental Authority, then no such change or modification shall constitute a breach or other default under the terms of this Agreement, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to enter into such amendments to this Agreement or a separate arrangement in order to give effect, to the greatest extent possible, the economic benefit as originally contemplated in this Agreement. If, in the reasonable opinion of Midstream Co’s counsel, a Governmental Authority’s regulation of Midstream Co’s results in (a) Midstream Co not having the same economic benefits as originally contemplated under this Agreement or (b) Midstream Co’s or any of its Affiliate’s pipelines becoming subject to additional legal requirements or regulation, and the Parties have not mutually agreed as to how to mitigate or alleviate the foregoing, then Midstream Co shall have the right, without liability, to terminate this Agreement.

Article 15

Indemnification and Insurance

Section 15.1 Reciprocal Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and except as otherwise set forth in Section 7.3:

(a) Producer Indemnification. Producer shall release, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Midstream Co Group from and against all Losses directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with bodily injury, death, illness, disease, or loss or damage to property of Producer or any member of Producer Group in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, directly or indirectly. THIS RELEASE, DEFENSE AND INDEMNITY OBLIGATION SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF FAULT OF MIDSTREAM CO GROUP OR ANY OTHER PERSONS.

(b) Midstream Co Indemnification. Midstream Co shall release, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Producer Group from and against all Losses directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with bodily injury, death, illness, disease, or loss or damage to property of Midstream Co or any member of Midstream Co Group in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, directly or indirectly. THIS RELEASE, DEFENSE AND INDEMNITY OBLIGATION SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF FAULT OF PRODUCER GROUP OR ANY OTHER PERSONS.

25 Third Amended and Restated Crude Oil Treating Agreement

(c) Regardless of Fault. AS USED IN THE PRECEDING TWO SUBCLAUSES, THE PHRASE “REGARDLESS OF FAULT” SHALL MEAN, WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOSS THAT IS CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR OTHERWISE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER FAULT, OF ANY MEMBER OF MIDSTREAM CO GROUP OR THE PRODUCER GROUP, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CAUSE OR CAUSES THEREOF AND WITHOUT LIMITATION OF SUCH LOSS AND WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION.

Section 15.2 Indemnification Regarding Third Parties. Each Party shall release, protect, defend, indemnify and hold the other Party harmless against any Loss by a Third Party that is not a member of the Producer Group or Midstream Co Group, to the extent such Loss (a) is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of said indemnifying Party or such Party’s Group, or (b) in the case of Producer as indemnifying Party, results from claims by a Third Party of title, rights, or encumbrances in or to Product delivered by Producer to a Receipt Point.

Section 15.3 Penalties. Producer shall release, protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Midstream Co from any Losses resulting from penalties imposed by a Downstream Facility in any transportation contracts or service agreements associated with, or related to, Producer’s owned or Controlled Product, including any penalties imposed pursuant to the Downstream Facility’s tariff.

Section 15.4 Insurance. Midstream Co and Producer shall (a) carry and maintain no less than the insurance coverage set forth in Exhibit D, and (b) cause such insurance to be (i) the primary coverage without any right of contribution from any other insurance held by the other Party to the extent of the insured Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder, and (ii) written and endorsed to include waivers of all subrogation rights of the insurers against Midstream Co and its Group (in the case of Producer’s insurance) or Producer and its Group (in the case of Midstream Co’s insurance). Unless Producer is Original Producer, Producer shall also cause the insurance carried and maintained by it pursuant to this Section 15.4 to be endorsed to name Midstream Co and its Group as additional insureds or provide blanket additional insured status that covers Midstream Co and its Group as additional insureds, except in the case of worker’s compensation insurance. Any insurance provided by OpCo on behalf of Midstream Co that comports with this Section 15.4 shall be deemed to satisfy these requirements.

Article 16

Assignment

Section 16.1 Assignment of Rights and Obligations under this Agreement.

(a) Assignment. Except as specifically otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Party shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part) to another Person except with the prior consent of Midstream Co (in the case of an assignment by Producer) or Producer (in the case of an assignment by Midstream Co), which consent may be withheld at such Party’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Producer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person to whom Producer assigns or transfers an interest in any of the Dedicated Properties insofar as this

26 Third Amended and Restated Crude Oil Treating Agreement

Agreement relates to such Dedicated Properties without the consent of Midstream Co; provided that (A) such Person assumes in writing the obligations of Producer under this Agreement insofar as it relates to the portion of the Dedicated Properties so assigned or transferred, such writing shall take the form of an Agreement Addendum, executed by the applicable Midstream Co and the Producer Assignee (and others, if appropriate) and such writing shall be recorded in the real property records of the counties in which the Dedication Area is located, (B) such assignment is made subject to this Agreement, (C) if such assignment or transfer is made to an Affiliate of Original Producer, the Original Producer shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Agreement, and (D) if such transfer or assignment is to a Person that is not an Affiliate of Original Producer (a “Third Party Assignment”): (1) the Original Producer shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Dedicated Properties so assigned or transferred, (2) at least thirty (30) Days prior to the closing date of the Third Party Assignment (or, if the period between signing and closing is less than thirty (30) Days, as early as possible and in no event less than two Business Days prior to the closing of the Third Party Assignment), Producer shall have provided Midstream Co with notice of the closing date of the Third Party Assignment, and (3) prior to or on the closing date of the Third Party Assignment, the Producer Assignee shall deliver to Midstream Co (x) a copy of the writing pursuant to which the Third Party Assignment is occurring, and (y) documentation of any Conflicting Dedication affecting any Product of the Producer Assignee that would otherwise be considered Dedicated Production. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the addition of facilities, or any modification, expansion or alteration of any Individual System or any facilities, is required, necessary or convenient (in the opinion of Midstream Co) to accept, measure, account for, or treat Product from, and otherwise provide the Services to, Producer Assignee, then Midstream Co, may elect, in its sole discretion, not to make such addition, modification, expansion or alteration, and not to provide the applicable Services with respect to Dedicated Properties so assigned or transferred under this Section 16.1(a). If Midstream Co elects not to make such addition, modification, expansion or alteration, Midstream Co shall notify Producer of its election prior to the closing date of the Third Party Assignment and the Services associated with the Dedicated Properties so assigned or transferred shall cease on the closing date of such Third Party Assignment, and Midstream Co shall execute and deliver, pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(x), a release of all of the Dedicated Properties and Dedicated Production so assigned or transferred under this Section 16.1(a). At Midstream Co’s election, such release may be delivered either to the Producer selling the applicable acreage or to Producer Assignee, in either case, substantially concurrently with Midstream Co’s cessation of Services.

(b) Notice; Binding Effect. Within 30 Days prior to the date of execution of a permitted assignment by Producer, Producer shall give Midstream Co notice of any assignment of this Agreement or Dedicated Properties. Midstream Co shall give Producer written notice of any assignment of this Agreement within 30 Days after the date of execution of such permitted assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Parties. Any attempted assignment made without compliance with the provisions set forth in this Section 16.1 shall be null and void ab initio.

(c) Releases not Assignments. Any release of any of the Dedicated Properties from the Dedications pursuant to Section 2.4 shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of such Dedicated Properties for the purposes of this Article 16.

27 Third Amended and Restated Crude Oil Treating Agreement

Section 16.2 Pre-Approved Assignments. Each Party shall have the right without the prior consent of the others to (a) mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise impress a lien or security interest upon its rights and interest in and to this Agreement, and (b) make a transfer pursuant to any security interest arrangement described in (a) above, including any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure and any assignment from the holder of such security interest to another Person.

Section 16.3 Change of Control. Except as provided in Section 16.1, nothing in this Article 16 shall prevent Producer’s members or owners from transferring their respective interests (whether equity or otherwise and whether in whole or in part) in Producer and nothing in this Article 16 shall prevent Midstream Co’s members or owners from transferring their respective interests (whether equity or otherwise and whether in whole or in part) in Midstream Co. However, if a change of control of a Party gives rise to a reasonable basis for insecurity on the part of the other Party, such change of control may be the basis for a request of Adequate Assurance of Performance. Each member or owner of Producer or Midstream Co, as applicable, shall have the right to assign and transfer such member’s or owner’s interests (whether equity or otherwise and whether in whole or in part) in Producer or Midstream Co, as applicable, without restriction contained in this Agreement.

Article 17

Other Provisions

Section 17.1 Relationship of the Parties. The execution and delivery of an Agreement Addendum shall create a binding agreement between the Parties signatory thereto consisting of the terms set forth in such Agreement Addendum together with the terms set forth in these Agreement Terms and Conditions. The signatories of one Agreement Addendum shall not be bound to or otherwise in privity of contract with the signatories of any other Agreement Addendum, and the execution and delivery of each Agreement Addendum shall form a separate and distinct contract. This Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to create, a partnership, joint venture or association or a trust between Producer and Midstream Co or the persons party to any other Agreement Addendum. This Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to authorize any Party to act as an agent, servant or employee for any other Party for any purpose whatsoever except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement.

There are no warranties, representations, or other agreements between Producer and Midstream Co relating to the subject matter hereof except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, including the exhibits hereto, and no Party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise, inducement, or statements of intention not so set forth.

Section 17.4 Waivers; Rights Cumulative. Any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof may be waived only by a written instrument executed by or on behalf of the Person waiving compliance. No course of dealing on the part of any Party, or their respective officers, employees, agents, or representatives, nor any failure by a Party to exercise any of its rights under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or affect in any way the right of such Party at a later time to enforce the performance of such provision. No waiver by any Party of any condition, or any breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of any breach of any other term or covenant. The rights of Producer and Midstream Co under this Agreement shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude the exercise of any other right.

Section 17.5 Amendment.

(b) This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed (except as otherwise set forth in this Section 17.5) by Producer and Midstream Co and expressly identified as an amendment or modification.

(c) In the event of a conflict between (i) these Agreement Terms and Conditions or any exhibit to this agreement, on the one hand, and (ii) an applicable Agreement Addendum, on the other, the applicable Agreement Addendum shall control.

Section 17.6 Governing Law; Arbitration. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State, excluding any conflicts of law rule or principle that might refer construction of such provisions to the laws of another jurisdiction.

29 Third Amended and Restated Crude Oil Treating Agreement

with the Rules. The arbitrator is not empowered to award consequential, indirect, special, punitive or exemplary damages, and each Party irrevocably waives any damages in excess of actual damages. Arbitration shall be held in the English language in the State, and the decision of the arbitration panel shall include a statement of the reasons for such decision, and the award shall be final and binding on Producer and Midstream Co. Awards shall be final and binding on Producer and Midstream Co from the date they are made and judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State, excluding any conflicts of law rule or principle that might refer construction of such provisions to the laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 17.7 Parties in Interest. Except for parties indemnified hereunder, nothing in this Agreement shall entitle any Person other than the Parties to any claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind.

Section 17.8 Preparation of Agreement. The Parties and their respective counsel participated in the preparation of this Agreement. In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, no presumption shall arise based on the identity of the draftsman of this Agreement.

Section 17.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any adverse manner to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, Producer and Midstream Co shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of Producer and Midstream Co as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible. A ruling of invalidity, illegality or unenforceability as to one Agreement shall only be applicable to that Agreement, not all the Agreements covered by these Agreement Terms and Conditions.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all of such counterparts shall constitute for all purposes one agreement. Any signature hereto delivered by a Party by electronic mail shall be deemed an original signature hereto; provided that the originals of any such electronically provided signatures shall be provided by the signatory, if requested by the other Party within a week of exchanging signatures.

Section 17.11 Confidentiality. All data and information exchanged by the Parties (other than the terms and conditions of this Agreement) and all pricing terms shall be maintained in strict and absolute confidence and no Party shall disclose, without the prior consent of the other Parties, any such data, information or pricing terms unless the release thereof is required by Law (including any requirement associated with an elective filing with a Governmental Authority) or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange on which any securities of the Parties, or any Affiliates thereof are traded. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Parties from disclosing whatever information in such manner as may be required by applicable Law; nor shall any Party be prohibited by the terms hereof from disclosing information acquired under this Agreement to any financial institution or investors providing or proposing financing to a Party,

30 Third Amended and Restated Crude Oil Treating Agreement

or to any Person proposing to purchase the equity in any Party or the assets owned by any Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions in this Section 17.11 will not apply to data or information that (i) is in the possession of the Person receiving such information prior to disclosure by the other Party, (ii) is or becomes known to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or (iii) becomes available to a Party a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other Party, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other fiduciary obligations of confidentiality to, the other Party. This Section will survive any termination of this Agreement for a period of 24 Months from the end of the Year in which the date of such termination occurred.
