(i)    all Gas owned by Producer that is produced and saved from wells now or hereafter located within the Dedicated Area or on lands pooled or unitized therewith, to the

Page 8

Gas Processing Agreement dated September 1, 2021

Between Altus Midstream Processing LP (Processor) and Apache Corporation (Producer)

extent such Gas is attributable to Interests within the Dedicated Area, now owned or hereafter acquired by Producer and not otherwise delivered or used as permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and

(ii)    with respect to wells now or hereafter located within the Dedicated Area or on lands pooled or unitized herewith for which Producer is the operator, Gas for such wells that is owned by other working interest owners and royalty owners (“Non-Op Gas”) but only to the extent and for the period that Producer has the right or obligation to market such Non-Op Gas;

provided, however, with respect to any such Gas that is subject to a Prior Dedication, such Gas shall not be subject to the dedication hereunder until the expiration or termination of such Prior Dedication; provided further, that following Producer’s acquisition of any Interests subject to a Prior Dedication, Producer shall terminate such Prior Dedication at Producer’s first opportunity following the primary term of such Prior Dedication. Upon the expiration or termination of that Prior Dedication, such additional Interests within the Dedicated Area and such Gas attributable thereto will automatically be subject to the dedication hereunder without any further actions by the Parties. Producer shall notify Processor in writing of any such expiration or termination.

(b)    Covenant Running with the Land. It is the mutual intention of the Parties that, so long as the dedication in Section 2.1(a) is in effect, this Agreement and the dedication under Section 2.1(a) and all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement collectively shall (i) be a covenant running with the Interests within the Dedicated Area and (ii) be binding on and enforceable by Processor and its successors and assigns against Producer and its successors and assigns of the Interests within the Dedicated Area. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the other Party from time to time such additional agreements and instruments as may be reasonably requested by such other Party to more fully effectuate the intention of the Parties set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, including a memorandum of this Agreement in the form set forth on Exhibit G, and in the event of a permanent release or partial assignment of the Interests dedicated hereunder, a memorandum of release in the form set forth on Exhibit H. Producer shall cause any conveyance by it of all or any of the Interests within the Dedicated Area to be made expressly subject to the terms of this Agreement. By January 31 of each year, Producer and Processor shall update Exhibit A to reflect any Interests within the Dedicated Area (1) acquired by Producer, (2) permanently released by Processor, or (3) partially assigned by Producer (and reflected in a Transferee Agreement) during the immediately preceding year, and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such new Interests within the Dedicated Area shall be subject to this Agreement (including Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b)). Contemporaneously with any such update and supplement to this Agreement, Producer shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Processor a supplement to each of the applicable memoranda of this Agreement previously filed for recording in the real property records of each county in which any portion of such new Interests is located.

(b)    Permanent Release. In addition to Section 2.2(a), above, if Producer delivers Gas otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement but Processor does not take and process all or any portion of Producer’s Gas up to the applicable Producer’s Reserved Capacity for delivery at an existing Delivery Point for any reason (including a failure to meet quality requirements for nitrogen, but not including (i) a failure to meet quality requirements other than for nitrogen as set forth above, for which no permanent release shall be available or (ii) a pressure problem, which is addressed in Section 3.5) for a cumulative thirty (30) Days in any ninety (90) Day period, unless such failure is caused by Force Majeure, in which case a cumulative 180 Days in any 365-Day period, or if Processor fails to allocate Producer’s Plant Products pursuant to the fixed recovery rates set forth on Exhibit F for a cumulative thirty (30) Days in any ninety (90) Day period (with no extension if such failure is caused by Force Majeure), then upon Producer’s written notice to Processor, Processor shall have fifteen (15) Days from receipt of such notice to propose a feasible plan to Producer that shall resolve such issue, at Processor’s sole cost and expense, within sixty (60) Days after proposing such plan (the “Resolution Period”). If (A) Processor fails to propose a resolution within the stated fifteen (15) Days, (B) the issue is not resolved after completion of Processor’s resolution, or (C) Processor does not complete such resolution within the Resolution Period (but if Processor’s completion is delayed or prevented by reason of Force Majeure, the Resolution Period shall be extended by an additional 120 Days), Producer may elect within thirty (30) Days following Processor’s failure to propose a resolution, the completion of such inadequate resolution or the expiration of such Resolution Period, as applicable, by giving written notice to Processor, to either (i) a permanent release from dedication as to the affected Delivery Point and the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area associated with such Delivery Point (and such released portion(s) shall be stated in terms of acreage) or (ii) until the issue has been resolved, a [***] percent ([***]%) reduction in the then-existing applicable Fees for a volume of Gas equal to Producer’s good-faith estimate of the volumes that were or would have been delivered to the affected Delivery Points under the Agreement; provided, however, Producer shall not be entitled

Page 11

Gas Processing Agreement dated September 1, 2021

Between Altus Midstream Processing LP (Processor) and Apache Corporation (Producer)

to either of the foregoing remedies to the extent that Producer’s good-faith estimate of the affected volumes exceeds the last 2-Year Forecast Producer delivered to Processor in accordance with Section 2.1(c). If Producer elects a permanent release and Processor’s failure to take and process Producer’s Gas only affects certain, specific Delivery Point(s), Producer’s permanent release shall be limited to such affected Delivery Point(s) and the portion of the Dedicated Area connected upstream of such affected Delivery Point(s), including existing and future wells within such portion of the Dedicated Area. If Producer elects a permanent release and Processor’s failure to take and process Producer’s Gas affects all Delivery Points receiving Processable Gas or all Delivery Points receiving Non-Processable Gas, the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released shall be designated by Producer, acting reasonably and in good faith, provided that Producer shall provide to Processor (subject to the confidentiality and non-use restrictions set forth in this Agreement) reasonable evidence to support Producer’s determination of the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released, and as long as Producer’s determination of the areas to be released is reasonably supported, such determination shall be deemed conclusive. For clarity, this Section 2.2(b) is not applicable to the extent that Producer’s upstream gatherer fails to connect a new Receipt Point.

(c)    Release by Upstream Gatherer. Delivery of Producer’s Gas to Processor hereunder is dependent upon the performance of upstream gathering facilities to which Producer has made a dedication similar to the dedication under this Agreement. To the extent that Producer’s dedication under such upstream contracts is released, Producer shall receive a corresponding release from dedication under this Agreement.

Section 2.3    No Election of Remedies. Producer’s exercise of any right to a release from dedication or Fee reduction under Section 2.2 shall not be deemed as an election of remedies for any unexcused failure of Processor to perform any obligation under this Agreement, and Producer shall be entitled to any and all other remedies, including specific performance and injunctive relief (without the need to post any bond).

Section 2.4    Processing and Related Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Month during the Term Processor shall provide, or cause to be provided the following services, each on a Firm basis (collectively, the “Services”):

(a) receive, or cause to be received, Producer’s Gas (including entrained condensate) at the Delivery Points up to Producer’s Reserved Capacity;

(b) dehydrate, compress, and, if required to meet the Redelivery Point Gas Quality Specifications, treat all of Producer’s Non-Processable Gas at the Central Conditioning Facilities and purchase or deliver for Producer’s account such Producer’s Non-Processable Gas as Residue Gas;

(c) for Producer’s Processable Gas, (i) compress and redeliver such Producer’s Gas into a high pressure gathering system, (ii) during the Gas Lift Redelivery Period and at Producer’s direction, re-accept a portion of Producer’s Gas at a High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Point and redeliver to Producer, and (iii) re-accept such Producer’s Gas, less any Producer Gas redelivered to Producer at a High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Point, at the Cryos;

Page 12

Gas Processing Agreement dated September 1, 2021

Between Altus Midstream Processing LP (Processor) and Apache Corporation (Producer)

(d) dehydrate, compress, treat (if required to meet the Redelivery Point Gas Quality Specifications), and remove Plant Products from all of Producer’s Processable Gas; and purchase or deliver for Producer’s account all Producer’s Residue Gas and Plant Products for volumes attributable to Producer’s Processable Gas;

(e) subject to Section 18.3, expand its Facilities pursuant to the following requirements:

(i) Non-Processable Gas Facilities. Processor shall, at Processor’s sole expense, undertake an expansion of existing infrastructure or construct and/or install new Processor’s Facilities for Non-Processable Gas (including Central Conditioning Facilities) (A) if the then-existing throughput in existing Processor’s Facilities for Non-Processable Gas from all of Processor’s customers exceeds eighty percent (80%) of the design capacity, and (B) if Producer’s 2-Year Forecast plus Third Party Gas for Similarly Situated Customers for Non-Processable Gas exceeds one hundred five percent (105%) of the designated design capacity for existing Processing Facilities for Non-Processable Gas, and such expansion shall be completed within nine (9) months from the date that the conditions in subparts (A) and (B) above are satisfied; provided however, if Processor can secure Firm capacity to offload Non-Processable Gas, Processor shall not be required to expand the Non-Processable Gas facilities pursuant to this Section 2.1(e)(i) as long as Processor can continue to accept all of Producer’s Non-Processable Gas pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including redelivery at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points listed on Exhibit B);

(ii) Processable Gas Facilities. Processor shall, at Processor’s sole expense, undertake an expansion of existing infrastructure or construct and/or install new infrastructure within Processor’s Facilities for Processable Gas (A) if the then-existing throughput in existing Processor’s Facilities for Processable Gas exceeds eighty percent (80%) of the design capacity, and (B) if Producer’s 2-Year Forecast plus Third Party Gas for Similarly Situated Customers for Processable Gas exceeds one hundred five percent (105%) of the designated design capacity for existing Processor’s Facilities for Processable Gas, and such expansion shall be completed within fourteen (14) months from the date that the conditions in subparts (A) and (B) above are satisfied; provided however, if Processor can secure Firm capacity to offload Processable Gas, Processor shall not be required to expand the Processable Gas facilities pursuant to this Section 2.1(e)(ii) as long as Processor can continue to accept all of Producer’s Processable Gas pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including redelivery at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points and the Plant Products Redelivery Points listed on Exhibit B);

(f) perform such other obligations and actions as are described under this Agreement.

Page 13

Gas Processing Agreement dated September 1, 2021

Between Altus Midstream Processing LP (Processor) and Apache Corporation (Producer)

Processor shall perform all Services and operate Processor’s Facilities consistent with industry standard and in a prudent, workmanlike manner.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Producer shall not be entitled to Services on a Firm basis on any Processor’s Facilities, or any portions of the Processor’s Facilities, that have been built by Processor exclusively to service Gas volumes delivered by any Third Party customer.

Section 2.5    Recovery Rates and Take In-Kind Rights.

(a)    Recovery Rates.

(i) Subject to Producer’s Ethane Option, Processor shall determine Producer’s share of Residue Gas and Plant Products from Producer’s Processable Gas based on the fixed recovery rates (which includes any condensate fallout) and the allocation methodology shown on Exhibit F. Any Plant Products that are recovered from Producer’s Processable Gas in excess of the fixed recovery rates described in Exhibit F shall be retained for the account of Processor, and Processor agrees to sell, or cause to be sold, such retained Plant Products (other than condensate fallout) to Enterprise Products Operating LLC or its successor. For clarity, Processor shall include any Drip volumes in the Gas delivered by Producer in its calculation of Producer’s share of Producer’s Plant Products, but Processor shall deliver pentanes in lieu of condensate at the Plant Products Redelivery Points.

(ii) [***]

(b)    Allocation Event. If Processor is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by Force Majeure, to perform or comply with any obligation or condition of this Agreement for more than seventy-two (72) consecutive hours in a given Month that impacts system recoveries of Plant Products (an “Allocation Event”), then for the duration of the Allocation Event, Processor may allocate Plant Products and Residue Gas based on actual recoveries and fuels as described in this Section 2.5(b).

(i) Processor will allocate FL&U consumed in Processor’s Facilities that handle Processable Gas to each Receipt Point based on the ratio of MMBtu of Producer’s Processable Gas received at the Receipt Point to the total MMBtus of Gas received at all applicable receipt points into Processor’s Facilities utilizing the same level of compression service; provided, however, fuel used in the treating of natural gas for the removal of non-hydrocarbon contaminants shall be allocated only to such Receipt Point(s) or receipt points which require the removal of such non-hydrocarbon contaminants in order to meet the quality specifications at the Plant Product Redelivery Points or the Redelivery Point Gas Quality Specifications. The allocation of fuel for such Receipt Point(s) or receipt points requiring removal of non-hydrocarbon contaminants will be further allocated based on such Receipt Point or receipt point volume and the percentage of non-hydrocarbon contaminants contained in each gas stream.

Page 14

Gas Processing Agreement dated September 1, 2021

Between Altus Midstream Processing LP (Processor) and Apache Corporation (Producer)

(ii) For each Receipt Point, Processor will determine the quantity of Plant Products allocated to Producer by multiplying the total quantity of each Plant Product component recovered and sold from the applicable Processor’s Facilities and/or the Cryo by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the gallons of such Plant Product component contained in the Processable Gas delivered by Producer at the Receipt Point less (i) its allocated share of FL&U that is consumed upstream of the Cryo and (ii) Gas delivered to Producer at High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Points, and the denominator of which will be the total gallons of such Plant Product component contained in all Gas delivered to Processor from all sources connected to Processor’s Cryos, less FL&U and buyback gas, if applicable.

(iii) The MMBtu of Residue Gas allocable to Producer shall be determined by multiplying the MMBtu of Residue Gas available from the Cryo by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the theoretical MMBtu of Residue Gas remaining from Producer’s Processable Gas at the Receipt Point less Gas delivered to Producer at High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Points, and the denominator of which will be the total of the theoretical MMBtu of Residue Gas remaining from all gas delivered to Processor from all sources connected to Processor’s Cryos, less buyback gas, if applicable.

(c)    Take In-Kind - Residue Gas. For each Calendar Year during the Term, Producer shall have the right to take its Residue Gas in-kind. Producer elects to take its Residue Gas in-kind at the Residue Gas Redelivery Point as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. This election shall remain in effect until Producer provides notice to Processor at least one hundred eighty (180) Days prior to beginning of the Calendar Year that Producer no longer elects to take its Residue Gas in-kind, and such election to no longer take in-kind shall continue for the remainder of the Term. For any Calendar Year the Producer elects to take its Residue Gas in-kind, Processor shall not be required to pay the Residue Gas Price. Additionally, during any such Calendar Year, the “Take In-Kind Terms” set forth in Article VIII and Exhibit E, as well as the applicable title, possession, and liability provisions of Article XIII and Article XIV shall apply.

(d)    Take In-Kind - Plant Products. For each Calendar Year during the Term, Producer shall have the right to take its Plant Products in-kind. Producer elects to take its Plant Products in-kind at the Plant Products Redelivery Point as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. This election shall remain in effect until Producer provides notice to Processor at least one hundred eighty (180) Days period to the beginning of the Calendar Year that Producer no longer elects to take its Plant Products in-kind, and such election to no longer take in-kind shall continue for the remainder of the Term. For any Calendar Year that Producer elects to take its Plant Products in-kind, Processor shall not be required to pay the Plant Products Price. Additionally, during any such Calendar Year, the “Take In-Kind Terms” set forth in Article IX and Exhibit E, as well as the applicable title, possession, and liability provisions of Article XIII and Article XIV shall apply.

Section 2.6    Modification of System Capacity. Other than during periods of emergency and/or required Maintenance, Processor shall not take, without Producer’s prior written consent, any action that could cause the Plant Capacity to be reduced below the aggregate capacity needed to satisfy all of Processor’s Firm contracts.

Section 2.7    Priority of Gas Services; Curtailment. Processor covenants that it shall not oversubscribe Processor’s Facilities or take additional production into Processor’s Facilities if, as a result, Processor is unable to perform its Service obligations under this Agreement. Processor agrees to not provide services of any kind for any Third Party Gas on a basis that has a priority (i) higher than or (ii) equal to that to which Producer is entitled under this Agreement without Producer’s prior written consent; provided, however, that in the case of (ii), (A) such consent shall not be required as long as capacity equal to the Producer’s Reserved Capacity remains reserved for Producer in Processor’s Facilities (which, for clarity, remains subject to curtailment pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 2.7, including subparts (a) and (b)), and (B) such consent, if required, shall not be unreasonably withheld if the Third Party agreement shall not be reasonably expected to impact Processor’s ability to perform its obligations to Producer under this Agreement. If for any reason, including, without limitation, Force Majeure, maintenance, or constraints at Redelivery Point(s), Processor needs to curtail receipt, processing or delivery of Gas at the Processor’s Facilities, the following procedures shall be followed:

(a) First, Gas deliveries from all customers other than Producer and Similarly Situated Customers shall be curtailed prior to any curtailment or interruption of Producer’s Gas or Gas from Similarly Situated Customers; and

(b)    Second, if additional curtailments are required beyond Section 2.7(a) above, Processor shall notify Producer and the Similarly Situated Customers of such curtailment and require good faith estimates of expected gas volumes from Producer and Similarly Situated Customers. Processor shall then allocate the Plant Capacity at the affected Delivery Point on a pro rata basis based upon Producer’s and each Similarly Situated Customer’s respective good faith estimates for the affected point.

Section 2.8    Third Party Gas. Processor agrees that it shall not accept Third Party Gas into the Processor’s Facilities if such Third Party Gas shall cause Producer’s Gas to not meet the Redelivery Point Gas Quality Specifications.

Section 2.9    Operation and Maintenance of Processor’s Facilities. Processor shall (i) be entitled to complete operational control of the Processor’s Facilities and (ii) construct, install, own, operate, and maintain, at its sole cost, risk and expense, the facilities in accordance with all applicable laws, as a reasonably prudent operator and, to the extent reasonably possible, in a cost-efficient and effective manner for Producer. For the avoidance of doubt, Processor shall have the right to deliver Producer’s Non-Processable Gas to the Cryos as long as Processor settles Producer’s Fees and FL&U based on the Non-Processable Gas terms in this Agreement.

Section 2.10    Commingling. The Parties agree that Producer’s Gas may constitute part of the supply of Gas from multiple sources, and Processor shall have the right, subject to Processor’s obligations under this Agreement, to commingle Producer’s Gas with other Gas, to deliver Residue Gas and Plant Products containing molecules different from those received at the Delivery Points, and to handle the molecules delivered at the Delivery Points in any manner.

Section 2.11     Acquisitions by Affiliates of Producer. If any Affiliate of Producer acquires any fee ownership, working interest ownership, mineral ownership, leasehold ownership, farmout, or other contractual arrangement or arising from any pooling, unitization, or communitization of any of the foregoing rights within the Dedicated Area (“Affiliate Interests”), then Producer shall use its best efforts to cause any applicable Affiliate of Producer who acquires such Affiliate Interests to execute and deliver to Processor (i) a joinder to this Agreement in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto and (ii) a memorandum of this Agreement in the form set forth on Exhibit G. In the event that an Affiliate of Producer becomes a Producer under this Agreement, the liabilities of Producer and each such Affiliate of Producer shall be several and not joint.

Section 2.12    Producer’s Right to Deliver Other Gas. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and availability of capacity, Producer shall have the continuing right to deliver Producer’s equity Gas production and Gas that Producer controls as operator on behalf of non-operating partners from outside of the Dedicated Area to Processor at any one or more Delivery Point(s), and Processor shall provide the Services for such Gas at Processor’s Facilities; provided that such Gas shall not be dedicated under this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

DELIVERY POINTS AND PRESSURE

Section 3.1    Delivery Points. The delivery points for all Producer’s Gas delivered by Producer under this Agreement shall be the location where Producer’s Gas enters the inlet flange of the Processor’s Facilities located at the points identified on Exhibit B of this Agreement (each, a “Delivery Point,” and together, the “Delivery Points”).

Section 3.2    Pressure at Delivery Points. Producer shall cause Producer’s Gas to be delivered to the Delivery Points at a pressure sufficient to enter the Processor’s facilities, provided that Processor maintains the operating pressures at not more than [***] psig at the inlet to any Central Conditioning Facilities and at all other Low Pressure Delivery Points. Processor shall maintain a minimum operating pressure at the inlet to the Cryogenic Processing Facilities and at the High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Points of no less than the minimum pressure for each such point as detailed on Exhibit B. Producer shall not deliver Gas at a pressure in excess of the MAOP at the Delivery Point, as such MAOP may exist from time to time. As of the Effective Date, the MAOP at each Delivery Point shall be listed on Exhibit B, and Processor shall give written notice to Producer at any time thereafter that the MAOP for any Delivery Point changes and for each additional Delivery Point when it is added.

Section 3.3    Pressure at Residue Gas Redelivery Points. If Producer elects to take its Residue Gas in-kind, Processor shall redeliver Residue Gas at a pressure sufficient to enter the receiving facilities at such Residue Gas Redelivery Point, but shall not deliver such Gas at a pressure in excess of the MAOP of such receiving facilities, as such MAOP may exist from time to time.

Section 3.4    Pressure at Plant Product Redelivery Points. If Producer elects to take its Plant Products in-kind, Processor shall redeliver Plant Products at a pressure sufficient to enter the receiving facilities at each Plant Product Redelivery Point, but shall not deliver such Plant Products at a pressure in excess of MAOP of such receiving facilities, as such MAOP may exist from time to time.

Gas Processing Agreement dated September 1, 2021

Between Altus Midstream Processing LP (Processor) and Apache Corporation (Producer)

Section 3.5    Release Rights. At any time that the operating pressure at a Delivery Point is not in compliance with the required operating pressure or is in excess of the MAOP for any reason, including Force Majeure, Producer shall be entitled to an immediate temporary release from dedication and may immediately dispose of and/or deliver to any third Person any of Producer’s Gas available for delivery at such Delivery Point. In the event the operating pressure is not in compliance with the required pressure for a cumulative thirty (30) Days in any ninety (90) Day period for reasons other than Force Majeure, then upon Producer’s written notice to Processor, Processor shall have fifteen (15) Days from receipt of such notice to propose a feasible plan that shall, at Processor’s sole cost and expense, resolve the pressure issue within sixty (60) Days after proposing such plan (the “Resolution Period”) so that the pressure shall be maintained in compliance with the required pressure (including when all available Gas is delivered to the Delivery Point(s), i.e., including all of Producer’s Gas that may have been temporarily released). If (a) Processor fails to propose a resolution within the stated fifteen (15) Days, (b) the issue is not resolved after completion of Processor’s resolution, or (c) Processor does not complete its proposed resolution within the Resolution Period for any reason (but if Processor’s completion is delayed or prevented by reason of Force Majeure, the Resolution Period shall be extended by an additional 120 Days), then Producer may elect, by giving written notice to Processor, to either (i) a permanent release from dedication as to any affected Delivery Point(s) and the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area associated with such Delivery Point(s) (and such released portion(s) may be stated in terms of wells and/or acreage) or (ii) until the pressure issue has been resolved, a [***] percent ([***]%) reduction in the then-existing applicable Fees for a volume of Gas equal to Producer’s good-faith estimate of the volumes that would have been delivered to the affected Delivery Points under this Agreement; provided, however, Producer shall not be entitled to the remedies set forth in either subsection (i) or subsection (ii) to the extent that (x) any Receipt Point(s) upstream of the Delivery Point are in compliance with the Required Pressure (as defined in the Gas Gathering Agreement) for such Receipt Point(s) or (y) Producer’s good-faith estimate of volumes exceeds the last 2-Year Forecast Producer delivered to Processor in accordance with Section 2.1(c). If Producer elects a permanent release and the pressure issue only affects certain, specific Delivery Point(s), Producer’s permanent release shall be limited to such affected Delivery Point(s) and the portion of the Dedicated Area connected upstream of such affected Delivery Point(s), including existing and future wells within such portion of the Dedicated Area. If Producer elects a permanent release and the pressure issue affects all Delivery Points receiving Processable Gas or all Delivery Points receiving Non-Processable Gas, the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released shall be designated by Producer, acting reasonably and in good faith, provided that Producer shall provide to Processor (subject to the confidentiality and non-use restrictions set forth in this Agreement) reasonable evidence to support Producer’s determination of the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released, and as long as Producer’s determination of the areas to be released is reasonably supported, such determination shall be deemed conclusive. Producer’s right to a release from dedication or Fee reduction under this Section 3.5 shall not be deemed an election of remedies, and Producer shall be entitled to any and all other remedies, including specific performance and injunctive relief (without the need to post any bond).

ARTICLE IV

GAS QUALITY

Section 4.1    Gas Quality Specifications. Processable Gas shall meet the Gas Quality Specifications set forth in Exhibit D-1. Non-Processable Gas shall meet the Gas Quality Specifications set forth in Exhibit D-2. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IV to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date, Processor is accepting Producer Gas from certain Sour Gas Receipt Points listed on Exhibit D-1 for Producer’s Processable Gas and Exhibit D-2 for Producer’s Non-Processable Gas that may not conform to the applicable Gas Quality Specifications, and the Parties agree that as long as (i) the concentration of the respective non-conforming Gas Quality Specification or daily delivered volume does not exceed 110% of the Baseline Conditions as stated on Exhibit D-1 for Producer’s Processable Gas and Exhibit D-2 for Producer’s Non-Processable Gas and (ii) the conditions of Section 4.2 are satisfied, Producer Gas delivered from such sources during the Term shall not be considered Off-Spec Gas.

Section 4.2    Non-Conforming Gas. If at any time (i) the weighted average by volume of Producer’s Processable Gas received at all Delivery Points fails to conform to the Gas Quality Specifications set forth in Exhibit D-1, (ii) the weighted average by volume of Producer’s Non-Processable Gas received at all Delivery Points fails to conform to the Gas Quality Specifications set forth in Exhibit D-2, or (iii) Producer’s Gas received at any Receipt Point contains more than one hundred (100) parts per million by volume of hydrogen sulfide or more than six percent (6%) carbon dioxide by volume (in each case, “Off-Spec Gas”), then Processor shall promptly give Producer written notice of the deficiency and shall have the right to cease taking any Off-Spec Gas. In addition, Processor shall give Producer written notice (a “Near Off-Spec Notice”) if Producer’s Gas reaches eighty percent (80%) of the applicable specification for hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen, and such Near Off-Spec Notice shall remain in effect until Producer’s Gas has not exceeded fifty percent (50%) of the applicable specifications for hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen for five (5) consecutive Days; provided, that if the circumstances giving rise to a Near Off-Spec Notice last for more than one Month, Processor shall provide an updated Near Off-Spec Notice for each Month that the situation continues.

Section 4.3    Reimbursement for Costs and Expenses. Producer shall reimburse Processor for actual, reasonable costs and expenses directly resulting from damage to (i) the Processor’s Facilities, (ii) other customers’ Gas, and (iii) all third parties located downstream of Processor’s Facilities, to the extent such damage is directly caused by the delivery to the Processor’s Facilities of Producer’s Gas that is Off-Spec Gas, except when Processor knowingly accepts such Off-Spec Gas into the Processor’s Facilities. Notwithstanding the above or anything else in this Agreement, Producer’s responsibility under this Section 4.3 shall be for actual, direct damages only, and in no event shall this Section 4.3 require Producer to pay or in any way be responsible for the Consequential Damages of any Person.

ARTICLE V

MEASUREMENT

Section 5.1    Equipment and Specifications. Producer’s Gas delivered to the Processor’s Facilities shall be measured by Processor at each Receipt Point, each Delivery Point, each High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Point, and any point on the gathering system upstream of Processor’s

Page 19

Gas Processing Agreement dated September 1, 2021

Between Altus Midstream Processing LP (Processor) and Apache Corporation (Producer)

Facilities where buyback gas is redelivered to Producer, and the Residue Gas and Plant Products shall be measured at the meter(s) at the applicable Redelivery Point(s). The meters and appurtenant facilities shall be installed, operated, and maintained by Processor in accurate working order and condition, in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Article V, with good and workmanlike standards generally practiced by reasonably prudent gas processing operators, and in accordance with all laws.

Section 5.2    Gas Meter Standards. Orifice meters installed in such measuring stations for Gas shall be constructed and operated in accordance with ANSI/API 2530 API 14.3, AGA Report No. 3, Orifice Metering of Natural Gas and Other Related Hydrocarbon Fluids (including as it may be revised from time to time) and shall include the use of flange connections and, where necessary, straightening vanes, flow conditioners and/or pulsation dampening equipment. Ultrasonic meters or Coriolis meters installed in such measuring stations shall be constructed and operated in accordance with AGA Report No. 9, Measurement of Gas by Ultrasonic Meters, First Edition, and AGA Report No. 11, Measurement of Natural Gas by Coriolis Meter, respectively; and any subsequent modification and amendment thereof generally accepted within the Gas industry. Electronic flow computers shall be used and the Gas shall have its volume, mass, and/or heat content computed in accordance with the applicable AGA standards including, but not limited to, AGA Report Nos. 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and API 21.1 “Flow Measurement Using Electronic Metering Systems” and any subsequent modifications and amendments thereof generally accepted within the Gas industry. When Gas chromatographs are used they shall be installed, operated, maintained, and verified according to industry standards (GPA 2261, GPA 2145, GPA 2172, and GPA 2177).

Section 5.3    Notice of Measurement Equipment Inspection and Calibration. Each Party shall give seventy-two (72) hours’ notice to the other Party in order that the other Party may, at its option, have representatives present to observe any reading, inspecting, testing, calibrating, or adjusting of measuring equipment used in measuring or checking the measurement of receipts or deliveries of Gas under this Agreement. The official electronic data from such measuring equipment shall remain the property of the measuring equipment owner, but copies of such records shall, upon written request, be submitted, together with calculations and flow computer configurations therefrom, to the requesting Party for inspection and verification.

Section 5.4    Measurement Accuracy Verification. Each Party shall verify the accuracy of all transmitters, flow computers, and other equipment used in the measurement of the Gas hereunder at intervals not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) Days and cause such equipment to be adjusted or calibrated as necessary. Testing frequency shall be based upon each Delivery Point flow rate (Mcf/Day). Any flow rate at a Delivery Point that is: (x) greater than 1,000 Mcf/Day shall be tested Monthly, (y) between 101 and 1,000 Mcf/Day shall be tested quarterly, and (z) less than 100 Mcf/Day shall be tested semi-annually. Neither Party shall be required to cause adjustment or calibration of such equipment more frequently than once every Month, unless a special test is requested pursuant to Section 5.5. If, upon testing, (i) no adjustment or calibration error is found that results in an incremental adjustment to the calculated flow rate through each meter run in excess of two percent (2%) of the adjusted flow rate (whether positive or negative and using the adjusted flow rate as the percent error equation denominator) or (ii) any quantity error is not greater than two hundred fifty (250) Mcf per Month, then any previous recordings of such equipment shall be considered accurate in computing deliveries but such equipment shall be adjusted or calibrated at once. If, during any test of the measuring equipment, an adjustment or

Page 20

Gas Processing Agreement dated September 1, 2021

Between Altus Midstream Processing LP (Processor) and Apache Corporation (Producer)

calibration error is found that results in (i) an incremental adjustment to the calculated flow rate through each meter run in excess of two percent (2%) of the adjusted flow rate (whether positive or negative and using the adjusted flow rate as the percent error equation denominator) and (ii) a quantity error greater than two hundred fifty (250) Mcf per Month (“Material Measurement Error”), then any previous recordings of such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period during which the error existed (and which is either known definitely or agreed to by the Parties) and the total flow for such period shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.6. If the period of error condition cannot be determined or agreed upon between the Parties, such correction shall be for a period extending over the last one half (1/2) of the time elapsed since the date of the last test.

Section 5.5    Special Tests. In the event a Party desires a special test (a test not scheduled by a Party under the provisions of Section 5.4) of any measuring equipment, seventy-two (72) hours’ advance notice shall be given to the other Party and, after providing such notice, such test shall be promptly performed. If no Material Measurement Error is found, the Party requesting the test shall pay the costs of such special test including any labor and transportation costs pertaining thereto. If a Material Measurement Error is determined to exist, the Party responsible for such measurement shall pay such costs and perform any corrections required under Section 5.4.

Section 5.6    Metered Flow Rates in Error. If, for any reason, any measurement equipment is (i) out of adjustment, (ii) out of service, or (iii) out of repair, and, in each case, a Material Measurement Error exists as a result thereof, the total quantity of Gas delivered shall be determined in accordance with the first of the following methods which is feasible:

(a)    by using the registration of any mutually agreeable check metering facility, if installed and accurately registering (subject to testing as provided for in Section 5.4);

(b)    where multiple meter runs exist in series, by calculation using the registration of such meter run equipment; provided that they are measuring Gas from upstream and downstream headers in common with the faulty metering equipment, are not controlled by separate regulators, and are accurately registering; or

(c)    by estimating the quantity, based upon deliveries made during periods of similar conditions when the meter was registering accurately.

Section 5.7    Record Retention. Processor shall retain and preserve all test data, charts, and similar records for any Calendar Year for a period of at least sixty (60) Months, unless any applicable Law requires a longer time period or Processor has received written notification of a dispute involving such records, in which case all records shall be retained until the related issue is resolved.

(d)    In determining the volume of Gas, when electronic transducers and flow computers are used, the Gas shall have its volume, mass and/or energy content continuously integrated in accordance with the applicable AGA standards including, but not limited to, AGA report Nos. 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and any subsequent modification and amendments thereof generally accepted within the Gas industry.

(e)    In calculating the volume of Gas, deviation from Boyle’s Law at the pressure, specific gravity, and temperature for each measurement shall be determined by use of AGA Report No. 8, Compressibility Factors for Natural Gas and Other Related Hydrocarbon Gases, published by the AGA in conjunction with Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 3 and amendments thereto generally accepted within the Gas industry.

(f)    Whenever the conditions of pressure and temperature differ from the standards described herein, conversion of the volume from these conditions to the standard conditions shall be made in accordance with the Ideal Gas Laws, corrected for deviation by the methods set forth in the AGA Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 3, as said report may be amended from time to time.

Section 5.9    Exception to Gas Measurement Basis. If at any time the basis of measurement set out in this Agreement should conflict with any Law, then the basis of measurement provided for in such Law shall govern measurements hereunder.

Section 5.10    Gas Sampling. Receipt Point meters downstream of new wells or wells that have been changed due to a workover or other well bore alteration that could alter the Gas composition shall be sampled Monthly until the analyses demonstrate reasonable consistency. After such time, said meters shall then be sampled at the stated calibration frequency. Processor shall install and maintain a Gas composite sampler at each of the Receipt Points.

(a)    Receipt Points and Delivery Points. The composition, specific gravity and Gross Heating Value of Producer’s Gas shall be determined by the measuring party taking a sample at the same frequency as the meter calibration test. The sample shall be acquired through an on-line chromatograph or a composite sampler. The analytical results shall be applied at the beginning of the Month the sample is taken until a subsequent representative sample is applied.

(b)    Residue Gas Redelivery Points. The composition, specific gravity, and Gross Heating Value of Producer’s Residue Gas shall be determined by the measuring party taking a sample at the same frequency as the meter calibration test. The sample shall be acquired through either an on-line Gas chromatograph or a composite sampler. The analytical results shall be applied at the beginning of the Month the sample is taken until a subsequent representative sample is applied.

(d)    The Gross Heating Value shall be measured by Gas chromatographic analysis or component analysis of the samples of the Gas taken for test purposes as provided above, or by such other method as shall be mutually agreed upon.

(e)    The Gas received by Processor at Delivery Points other than those at the inlet of a Cryogenic Processing Facility shall be deemed as saturated with water and the Gas shall be measured and settled as saturated at base pressure and base temperature.

Section 5.11    Modifications to Measurement Procedures. In the event the measurement procedures herein cease to be reflective of actual operations or become inequitable in any respect, such measurement procedures shall be modified to reflect actual operations and to remove such inequities, as long as such modified measurement procedures are consistently applied to Producer and all other customers at the Processor’s Facilities.

Section 5.12    Substitute Measurement and Sampling. Notwithstanding anything in this Article V to the contrary, for any of the Receipt Point(s) where Producer has installed a meter in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 5.2, Processor shall not be obligated to install its own meter and may use the measurements and samples taken by Producer at the Receipt Point(s). Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Article V to the contrary, Processor is not obligated to install its own meter at a Delivery Point and may use aggregate measurements and samples taken at all Receipt Points upstream of such Delivery Point. When relying on Producer’s Receipt Point meters, Processor shall have the right to witness meter provings and have access to raw measurement data collected. For the avoidance of doubt, if Processor installs its own Receipt Point meters or any upstream gatherer installs a Receipt Point meter and makes it available to Processor, then Processor shall use such meters, as appropriate, for custody transfer measurement under this Agreement.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 17.1    Negotiation. Prior to submitting any dispute for resolution by a court, a Party shall provide written notice of such dispute to the other Party. If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days after such notice is given, the Parties shall seek to resolve the dispute by negotiation between senior management personnel of each Party. Such personnel shall endeavor to meet and attempt to amicably resolve the dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute for any reason within thirty (30) Business Days after the original notice of dispute was given, then either Party shall be entitled to pursue any available remedies; provided, however, this Section 17.1 shall not limit a Party’s right to initiate litigation prior to the expiration of the time periods set forth in this Section 17.1 if application of such limitations would prevent a Party from filing a Claim within the applicable period for filing lawsuits (e.g. statutes of limitation, prescription, etc.) or would otherwise prejudice or harm a Party.

Section 17.2    Jurisdiction and Venue.

(a)    Each Party agrees that the appropriate, exclusive and convenient forum for any disputes between the Parties arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be in any state or federal court in Tarrant County, Texas, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts solely in respect of any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties further agree that the Parties shall not bring suit with respect to any disputes arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court or jurisdiction other than the above specified courts.

(b)    Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection (including, without limitation, the defense of inconvenient forum) which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court referred to in paragraph (a) above.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Parties agree that there is not an adequate remedy at law for any breach of these confidentiality and non-use restrictions and, therefore, Producer shall be entitled (without the posting of any bond) to specific performance and injunctive relief restraining any breach hereof, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have or be entitled.

Section 19.2    Independent Contractor. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Processor undertakes its obligations under this Agreement as an independent contractor, at its sole risk, and all Persons carrying out any of Processor’s obligations set forth herein for or on behalf of Processor are or shall be deemed employees, contractors, subcontractors, agents, and/or representatives of Processor, subject to the direction and control of Processor. Processor is to determine the manner, means, and methods in which such Persons shall carry out their work to attain the results contemplated by this Agreement, consistent with the general coordinative efforts and suggestions of Producer with respect to the work. Nothing in this Agreement or inferred from any action of either Party shall be taken to establish the relationship of master and servant or principal and agent between Producer and Processor.

Section 19.3    Rights; Waivers. The failure of either Party to exercise any right granted hereunder shall not impair nor be deemed a waiver of that Party’s privilege of exercising that right at any subsequent time or times. No waiver by either Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly provided.

Section 19.4    Applicable Laws. This Agreement is subject to all valid present and future Laws of any Governmental Authority(ies) now or hereafter having jurisdiction over the Parties, this Agreement, or the Services performed or the facilities utilized under this Agreement.

Section 19.5    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas, without regard to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO LAW, THEORY, OR PUBLIC POLICY SHALL BE GIVEN EFFECT WHICH WOULD UNDERMINE, DIMINISH, OR REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EACH PARTY’S WAIVER OF SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, AND EXEMPLARY DAMAGES SET FORTH IN SECTION 19.9 OR WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 19.10, IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENT, UNDERSTANDING, AND AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES THAT SUCH WAIVERS ARE TO BE GIVEN THE FULLEST EFFECT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PRE-EXISTING CONDITION OR THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT, OR CONCURRENT), GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER LEGAL FAULT OF ANY PARTY HERETO, OR OTHERWISE.

Section 19.6    Assignments. This Agreement, including any and all renewals, extensions, and amendments hereto, and all rights, title, and interests contained herein, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, and assigns, the assigns of all or any part of Processor’s right, title, or interest in the Processor’s Facilities, and the assigns of all or any part of Producer’s Interests in the Dedicated Area, and each Party’s respective obligations hereunder shall be covenants running with the lands underlying or included in any such assets. Neither Party shall Transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned; provided, however, that either Party may Transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party and that, in connection with a Transfer of all or any portion of the Dedicated Area, Producer shall Transfer its corresponding rights and obligations under this Agreement without the need for the prior written consent of Processor. If Producer Transfers a portion but not all of the Dedicated Area, Producer shall notify Processor of the allocation between Producer and its transferee of the reduced $0.345 Cryogenic Processing Fee listed in Exhibit C, the aggregate of which among Producer and all transferees shall not exceed 220,000 Mcf/d, and instead of acquiring this Agreement, the transferee of such Interests shall execute an agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Transferee Agreement”), Processor shall likewise execute such Transferee Agreement, and such Transferred portion of the Dedicated Area shall be removed from dedication under this Agreement. Any Transfer of this Agreement shall expressly require that the assignee assume and agree to discharge the duties and obligations of its assignor under this Agreement, and the assignor shall be released from the duties and obligations arising under this Agreement which accrue after the effective date of such Transfer. Processor shall not Transfer its rights and interests in the Processor’s Facilities, in whole or in part, unless the transferee of such interests agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Transfer of this Agreement or of any interest of either Party shall be binding on the other Party until such other Party has been notified in writing of such Transfer and furnished with reasonable evidence of same. No such Transfer of this Agreement or of any interests of either Party shall operate in any way to enlarge, alter, or modify any obligation of the other Party hereto. Any Person that succeeds by purchase, merger, or consolidation with a Party hereto shall be subject to the duties and obligations of its predecessor in interests under this Agreement or a Transferee Agreement, as applicable.

Section 19.7    Entire Agreement and Termination of Prior Processing Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, representations, and/or warranties by or among the Parties, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. No other representations, warranties, understandings, or agreements shall have any effect on this Agreement. The Prior Processing Agreement is hereby terminated and replaced by this Agreement. The termination of the Prior Processing Agreement shall not affect any claims and rights of either Party under the Prior Processing Agreement that relate to events prior to the Effective Date, [***].

Section 19.8    Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by a written document signed by both Parties that expressly amends this Agreement.

Section 19.9    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (COLLECTIVELY, “CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES”) RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH THEREOF OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, EACH PARTY RELEASES THE OTHER PARTY AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT OF RECOVERY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SUCH PARTY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE CAUSED BY THE OTHER PARTY’S NEGLIGENCE (AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR GROSS), FAULT, OR LIABILITY WITHOUT FAULT. PROCESSOR UNDERSTANDS THAT PRODUCER IS RELYING ON PROCESSOR’S PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO ENABLE PRODUCER TO MEET ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER DOWNSTREAM CONTRACTS, AND PROCESSOR EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED BY PRODUCER UNDER ANY SUCH DOWNSTREAM CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF PROCESSOR’S UNEXCUSED FAILURE TO PERFORM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSIDERED DIRECT DAMAGES.

Section 19.10    RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS AGREEMENT THAT MAY BE CONSTRUED TO THE CONTRARY, A PARTY’S SOLE REMEDY AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY FOR NON-PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CLAIM OF WHATSOEVER NATURE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OUT OF ANY ACTION OR INACTION BY A PARTY IN RELATION HERETO SHALL BE IN CONTRACT AND EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OTHER REMEDY IT MAY HAVE IN LAW OR EQUITY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY REMEDY IN TORT.

Section 19.11    Replacement Indices. In the event a published index or rate required hereunder is not available, the Parties shall promptly agree upon an alternative index or rate to be utilized, upon either Party giving written notice to the other that an alternative index or rate is needed. Such alternative index or rate shall be effective retroactively to the date on which the original index or rate ceased to be available. If the Parties have not agreed on an alternative index or rate by the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day after notice was given, then each Party shall, by the end of the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the notice was given, prepare a list of three alternative published and industry recognized indices or rates to replace the index or rate that has become unavailable. The first common item that appears on each of the lists shall be the alternative index or rate. If there is more than one common item on both lists, the one appearing first on both lists, giving priority to the list first submitted by one Party to the other, shall be the alternative index or rate. If no common item appears on the lists, each Party may strike in turn, one item from

Page 37

Gas Processing Agreement dated September 1, 2021

Between Altus Midstream Processing LP (Processor) and Apache Corporation (Producer)

the other Party’s list until only one item remains on each list. The alternative index or rate will then be determined from the two remaining items by coin flip. If either Party fails to deliver a list, the first item appearing on the submitting Party’s list will govern and prevail to determine the alternative index or rate.

Section 19.12    No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create an association, trust, partnership, or joint venture or impose a trust, fiduciary, or partnership duty, obligation, or liability on or with regard to either Party.

(d)    the word “includes” and its syntactical variants mean “includes, but is not limited to” and corresponding syntactical variant expressions; and

(e)    the plural shall be deemed to include the singular and vice versa, as applicable.

Section 19.14    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for Persons expressly indemnified hereunder, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and shall not inure to the benefit of any other Person, it being the intention of the Parties that no third Person shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Section 19.15    Further Assurances. Each Party shall take such acts and execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably required to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 19.16    No Inducements. No director, employee, or agent of any Party shall give or receive any commission, fee, rebate, gift, or entertainment of significant cost or value in connection with this Agreement.

Section 19.17    Counterpart Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original, and all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument.

Section 19.18    Survival. The terms of this Agreement which by their nature should reasonably be expected to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive, including, without limitation, Article XI (Audit Rights), Article XIII (Indemnification), Article XVII (Dispute Resolution), Section 19.1 (Confidentiality), Section 19.5 (Governing Law), Section 19.9 (Limitation of Liability), Section 19.10 (Rights and Remedies), this Section 19.18 (Survival), and the obligations of either Party under any provision of this Agreement to make payment hereunder.

TAKE IN-KIND TERMS

For any Calendar Year during which Producer elects under Section 2.5 of the Agreement to take its Residue Gas and/or Plant Products in-kind, the following terms shall apply:

I. Nominations. Processor and Producer agree that scheduling and commencement of service shall be consistent with the downstream receiving pipeline or transporter nomination requirements. Whenever Producer’s Residue Gas is to be scheduled or nominated hereunder, each Party shall provide to the other Party all information required for such nominations and confirmations with upstream and downstream pipelines or transporters. Producer shall provide Processor with Plant Product nominations on or before the 15^th Day of the Month prior to delivery.

(a)    Delivery Point Nominations. Producer shall not be required to provide Processor with nominations of the Producer’s Gas at the Delivery Point(s), however, Producer shall provide volume forecast information pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Agreement, for Processor’s general capacity planning purposes by Delivery Point.

(b)    Operational Information. Processor shall use reasonable efforts to provide daily information related to Delivery Point volume, Plant Product composition, and historical volume information in order to assist with Producer’s nominations below. Processor shall use reasonable efforts to make nomination changes as necessary, based on the information provided by Producer, at the Redelivery Points to minimize imbalances. Producer and Processor will each make good faith efforts to coordinate nominations to match physical flow in order to minimize any daily and monthly imbalances.

(c)    Redelivery Point Nominations.

i.    Producer shall make all necessary arrangements with pipelines or other third parties downstream of the Residue Gas Redelivery Points in order to help manage Processor’s delivery of Producer’s Residue Gas. Those arrangements must be coordinated with Processor, and Processor shall coordinate such arrangements with Producer and such downstream pipelines or other third parties.

ii.    Residue Gas. No later than 12:00 PM on the fifth (5^th) Business Day prior to the beginning of each Month Processor shall notify Producer of the estimated quantity of Producer’s Residue Gas per Day at the Residue Gas Redelivery Point(s), provided that nominations at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points are subject to confirmation by the downstream pipeline. By 7:00 AM on the day prior to gas flow, Processor shall notify Producer of the estimated quantity of Producer’s Residue Gas available for next day’s flow for the Residue Gas Redelivery Point(s). By 12:30 PM on the day prior to gas flow, Producer shall provide a nomination form to Processor, indicating downstream pipeline contract number, downstream delivery point and counterparty. If

Exhibit E – Page 1

Producer does not provide a nomination form to Processor, the prior nomination shall remain in effect until such time as Producer provides notice to Processor to revise the prior nomination. Processor will use reasonable efforts to confirm any nomination change requested by Producer after the nomination deadline. Processor reserves the right, from time to time, to revise its nomination procedures, subject to Producer’s consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

iii.    Producer will make all necessary arrangements with pipelines or other third parties downstream of the Plant Products Redelivery Points in order to facilitate Processor’s delivery of Plant Products. No later than one (1) Business Day prior to the nomination deadline each Month for the applicable downstream pipeline(s) receiving Plant Products, Producer will notify Processor of the estimated quantity of Plant Products per Day, provided that nominations at each Redelivery Point are subject to confirmation by the downstream pipeline. At any time, Producer may adjust its nomination prospectively for the remainder of such Month by providing Processor notice prior to the nomination deadline of the applicable downstream pipeline.

(d)    Processor and Producer shall immediately inform each other of any discovered unanticipated changes in deliveries at either the Delivery Point(s) or Redelivery Point(s). Nominations may be made by telephone, but shall be confirmed in writing by e-mail, facsimile, or other electronic means to Processor’s Gas Control Department.

II.    Pipeline Balancing. Subject to the provisions of the Agreement, Processor shall accept a Daily quantity of Producer’s Gas at the Delivery Points and redeliver Producer’s Residue Gas and Producer’s Plant Products allocated to such Producer’s Gas at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points and Plant Products Redelivery Point, respectively. All quantities received in accordance with the Agreement at the Delivery Points and all deliveries of Producer’s Residue Gas in accordance with this Agreement at the Residue Gas Redelivery Point shall be balanced on a Btu basis, and all such quantities referred to in the Agreement shall be adjusted for the Gross Heating Value thereof.

Imbalances may occur due to the difference between (1) Producer’s nomination to the downstream receiving pipeline at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points (the “Takeaway Pipeline”), which as of the Effective Date is Altus Midstream Pipeline LP, and (2) the allocated quantity of Residue Gas attributable to Producer’s Gas as calculated pursuant to Exhibit F (“Production Imbalance”). Any Production Imbalance shall be settled between Processor and Producer in the same manner that imbalances are settled between Processor and Takeaway Pipeline in their operational balancing agreement at each Residue Gas Redelivery Point (“Processor OBA”). Processor shall use its best efforts to enter into, and maintain in good standing, the Processor OBA. The Processor OBA shall not impose balancing guidelines that are more stringent on Producer than the operational balancing agreement between Takeaway Pipeline and the receiving pipelines immediately downstream of the Takeaway Pipeline (the “Downstream Receiving Pipeline”), which as of the Effective Date are El Paso Natural Gas Company, L.L.C., Roadrunner Gas Transmission, LLC, and Comanche Trail Pipeline, LLC (all such OBAs between the Takeaway Pipeline and a Downstream Receiving Pipeline, a “Takeaway Pipeline OBA”). Until such time as the Processor OBA is executed, Production Imbalances shall be settled between Processor and Producer in the same manner that imbalances are settled in the Takeaway Pipeline OBAs. Processor shall provide an invoice to Producer for settlement of Production Imbalances in accordance with this Section II along with documentation to substantiate the data on the invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, Processor shall provide Producer reasonable flexibility in adjusting nominations; provided however, that providing Producer such flexibility in adjusting nominations shall be subject to Processor not incurring financial harm or loss as a result of Producer’s actions.

Exhibit E – Page 2

The Parties acknowledge that there are times that it is in the best interest of Producer, Processor, and/or Takeaway Pipeline to seek an exception to any cashout provision that may exist in the Processor OBA and/or the Takeaway Pipeline OBA(s) by requesting that an imbalance temporarily roll rather than to cashout (“Temporary Rolling Imbalance”). If an event outside the control of Producer occurs that may have a material adverse financial impact on Producer, Producer may request Processor seek a Temporary Rolling Imbalance with the Takeaway Pipeline or a Downstream Receiving Pipeline, and Processor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate this change. If a Temporary Rolling Imbalance is effectively negotiated with Takeaway Pipeline or Downstream Receiving Pipeline, Producer shall obtain the benefit of the Temporary Rolling Imbalance.

III.    Plant Balancing and Cash Outs. Because of dispatching and other operational causes outside of Processor’s reasonable control, imbalances may occur between (1) the total heating value of the Residue Gas actually delivered to the Takeaway Pipeline at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points for Producer’s account and (2) the allocated quantity of Residue Gas attributable to Producer’s Gas as calculated pursuant to Exhibit F. Similarly, imbalances may occur between (1) the volumes of Producer’s Plant Products that are actually delivered to downstream pipelines at the Plant Products Redelivery Points for Producer’s account and (2) the allocated Plant Products attributable to Producer’s Gas as calculated pursuant to Exhibit F.

(a) Residue Gas Redelivery Point. Imbalance events at Residue Gas Redelivery Points caused by the events described in this Section III shall be cashed out at the simple average of (i) Inside F.E.R.C’s Gas Market Report in its first publication of the delivery month for “Prices of Spot Gas Delivered to Pipeline” for El Paso West Texas and (ii) Inside F.E.R.C’s Gas Market Report in its first publication of the delivery month for “Prices of Spot Gas Delivered to Pipeline” for West Texas Waha.

(b) Plant Products Redelivery Points. For imbalance events at Plant Products Redelivery Points, the Parties agree to settle imbalances through a monthly cash out. The monthly cash out price shall be based on Producer’s weighted average sales price for that month.

IV.    Curtailment. Processor shall use reasonable efforts to provide timely notification to Producer by telephone, with subsequent e-mail notification, of the potential size and duration of any unscheduled capacity disruption. If Producer does not adjust its nomination within two hours after receiving notification from Processor, then Processor may adjust Producer’s nomination and/or not confirm the nominations requested by Producer in the next nomination cycle. If Producer does not adjust its nomination as reasonably requested by Processor, and such failure to adjust nominations could materially impact operations at the Processor’s Facilities, Processor may curtail or shut in Gas for a reasonable period of time.

to

Gas Processing Agreement dated September 1, 2021, between

Altus Midstream Processing LP (“Processor”) and

Apache Corporation (“Producer”)

ALLOCATION METHODOLGIES

1.    Plant Products Allocable to Producer. The quantity of each Plant Product component allocable to Producer’s Processable Gas that was delivered to the Cryogenic Processing Facilities shall be determined by multiplying the theoretical gallons of that Plant Product component contained in the Plant Inlet Volume by the applicable Recovery Rate outlined in Section 2.5 for each component contained in Producer’s Processable Gas.

	Recovery Rate			Rejection Rate
C2		93	%		25	%
C3		97	%		95	%
C4		98	%		98	%
C5+		99	%		99	%

Producer may elect each month to have Producer’s Plant Products settled in ethane recovery mode or ethane rejection mode (“Ethane Option”). Such election must be made by five (5) days prior to the Month for which the election applies. Producer’s election of the Ethane Option shall continue to apply for successive Months until Producer provides notice otherwise to Processor at least 5 Days prior to the beginning of a Month.

2.    Residue Gas Allocable to Producer. The MMBtus of Residue Gas allocable to Producer’s Non-Processable Gas that was delivered to the Delivery Points and Producer’s Processable Gas that was delivered to the Cryogenic Processing Facilities shall be determined by the following equation:

PRG = [A – S – Rich FL&U] + [B – Lean FL&U]

where:

PRG = Producer’s Residue Gas in MMBtus

A = The aggregate volume of Producer’s Processable Gas measured at all low pressure Receipt Points less Processable Gas redelivered to Producer upstream of the low pressure Delivery Point and less Processable Gas redelivered to Producer at the High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Point(s)

Exhibit F – Page 1

S = Producer’s allocated share of Shrinkage as defined in Exhibit F, Paragraph 3

Rich FL&U = Processable Gas FL&U

B = The aggregate volume of Producer’s Non-Processable Gas measured at all low pressure Receipt Points less Non-Processable Gas redelivered to Producer upstream of the low pressure Delivery Point and less Non-Processable Gas redelivered to Producer at the High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Point(s)

Lean FL&U = “Non-Processable Gas FL&U

3.    Cryogenic Processing Facilities Shrinkage (“Shrinkage”). Producer’s share of shrinkage at the Cryos will be determined by converting each individual component of Producer’s Plant Products allocated to Producer to its respective heating value (as measured in MMBtu) by using the conversion factors published in the Gas Processor’s Association GPA Publication 2145-16, or any subsequent revision thereof in effect at the time such calculation is performed, and adjusted to a pressure base of 14.65 psia and a temperature of 60° Fahrenheit.

(a) Dedication. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and solely for the purpose of this Agreement, Producer hereby dedicates for the Services to be provided by Processor under this Agreement and shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the Delivery Point(s) the following:

(i)    all Gas owned by Producer that is produced and saved from wells now or hereafter located within the Dedicated Area or on lands pooled or unitized therewith, to the extent such Gas is attributable to Interests within the Dedicated Area and not otherwise delivered or used as permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and

(ii)    with respect to wells now or hereafter located within the Dedicated Area or on lands pooled or unitized herewith for which Producer is the operator, Gas for such wells that is owned by other working interest owners and royalty owners (“Non-Op Gas”) but only to the extent and for the period that Producer has the right or obligation to market such Non-Op Gas.

(b)    Covenant Running with the Land. It is the mutual intention of the Parties that, so long as the dedication in Section 2.1(a) is in effect, this Agreement and the dedication under Section 2.1(a) and all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement collectively shall (i) be a covenant running with the Interests within the Dedicated Area and (ii) be binding on and enforceable by Processor and its successors and assigns against Producer and its successors and assigns of the Interests within the Dedicated Area. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the other Party from time to time such additional agreements and instruments as may be reasonably requested by such other Party to more fully effectuate the intention of the Parties set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, including a memorandum of this Agreement in the form set forth on Exhibit G, and in the event of a permanent release or partial assignment of the Interests dedicated hereunder, a memorandum of release in the form set forth on Exhibit H. Producer shall cause any conveyance by it of all or any of the Interests within the Dedicated Area to be made expressly subject to the terms of this Agreement. By January 31 of each year, Producer and Processor shall update Exhibit A to reflect any Interests within the

Exhibit I – Page 11

Dedicated Area (1) permanently released by Processor or (2) partially assigned by Producer during the immediately preceding year. Contemporaneously with any such update and supplement to this Agreement, Producer shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Processor a supplement to each of the applicable memoranda of this Agreement previously filed for recording in the real property records of each county in which any portion of such new Interests is located.

(c)    Forecasts. On or before August 1st of each Year during the Term, Processor shall deliver to Producer a map showing each current Processor’s Facilities. Subject to Processor’s delivery of such map and Processor’s compliance with the confidentiality and restricted use requirements set forth in Section 19.1 on or before October 1st of each Year during the Term, Producer shall deliver to Processor a 2-Year Forecast with respect to the Producer’s Gas. Producer may also periodically provide updated 2-Year Forecasts during the Year if Producer has a good faith belief that its estimated production volumes have materially changed; provided, however, any updated 2-Year Forecast provided by Producer after October 1^st shall not be applicable in Section 2.2(b) or Section 3.5 of this Agreement until October 1^st of the next Calendar Year. “2-Year Forecast” shall mean Producer’s good faith estimate (expressed in Mcf per Day) and associated gas analysis of Producer’s Gas, to be produced from the Dedicated Area, broken down by Processor’s Facilities, and delivered to the Delivery Points for each Month for the next two (2) years of the Term of the Agreement, which forecasts shall be based on Producer’s most recent engineering and planning data. At Processor’s request, but no more than once per quarter, Producer and Processor will meet to discuss changes in the forecast to ensure that Processor will have adequate capacity in place to meet Producer’s requirements. For the sake of clarity, Processor acknowledges that Producer shall not at any time be required to deliver any of Producer’s internal budget information to Processor. Producer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts and information available to it to create the 2-Year Forecasts, but, given the inherent nature of the estimates involved in creating such Forecasts, Producer cannot guarantee the accuracy of any 2-Year Forecast.

(d)    Producer’s Reservations.

(i)    Gas for Lessors or Royalty Owners. Producer shall have the right to utilize Gas as may be required to be delivered to lessors or royalty owners under the terms of leases or other agreements or as required for Producer’s operations within the Dedicated Area or lands pooled or unitized therewith, as determined by Producer in its sole discretion.

(ii)    Pooling or Units. Producer may form, dissolve, and/or participate in pooling agreements or units encompassing all or any portions of the Dedicated Area, as determined by Producer in its sole discretion.

(iii)    Operational Control of Wells. Producer reserves the right to operate its leases and wells in any manner that it desires, as determined by Producer in its sole discretion and free of any control by Processor, including without limitation, (i) shutting-in, cleaning out, reworking, modifying, deepening, or abandoning any such wells, (ii) using any efficient, modern, or improved method for the production of its wells, (iii) flaring, burning, or venting Gas and (iv) surrendering, releasing, or terminating its leases or Interests or allowing such leases or Interests to expire at any time.

Exhibit I – Page 12

(iv)    Well Development and Operations. Producer reserves the right to use Gas (including the Plant Products in such Gas), above ground or below, to develop and operate its leases and wells, including, without limitation, for Gas lift, fuel, pressure maintenance, or other re-injection purposes, secondary and tertiary recovery, drilling or cycling, operation of Producer’s facilities, and/or any other legitimate use in connection with the development and/or operation of its leases and wells that are now or hereafter become subject to the terms of this Agreement. Additionally, for Gas used for fuel, Producer has the right to remove and dispose of liquid hydrocarbons from such Gas by means it deems necessary, including via low temperature separation.

(v)    No Obligation to Develop. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement that may be construed to the contrary, Producer reserves the right to develop and operate its leases and wells as it sees fit, in its sole discretion, and Producer shall have no obligation to Processor under this Agreement to develop or otherwise produce Gas or other hydrocarbons from any properties owned by it, including any properties now or hereafter located within the Dedicated Area or the lands pooled or unitized therewith.

Section 2.2    Release from Dedication.

(a)    Immediate Temporary Release. If for any reason including Force Majeure and Producer’s Gas being Off-Spec Gas (but not including a pressure problem which is addressed in Section 3.5), Producer delivers Gas otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement but Processor does not take all or any portion of Producer’s Gas delivered or otherwise available for delivery at a Delivery Point, Producer shall be entitled to an immediate temporary release from dedication of such volume of Producer’s Gas, and may dispose of such Gas in any manner it sees fits, subject to Processor’s right to resume receipts at a subsequent time when Processor is able to take all of Producer’s Gas available for delivery at the Delivery Point in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided however if during such temporary release period Producer secures a different temporary market, Processor may resume receipts only upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice and only as of the beginning of a Month, unless otherwise agreed.

(b)    Permanent Release. In addition to Section 2.2(a), above, if Producer delivers Gas otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement but Processor does not take and process all or any portion of Producer’s Gas up to the applicable Producer’s Reserved Capacity for delivery at an existing Delivery Point for any reason (including a failure to meet quality requirements for nitrogen, but not including (i) a failure to meet quality requirements other than for nitrogen as set forth above, for which no permanent release shall be available or (ii) a pressure problem, which is addressed in Section 3.5) for a cumulative thirty (30) Days in any ninety (90) Day period, unless such failure is caused by Force Majeure, in which case a cumulative 180 Days in any 365-Day period, or if Processor fails to allocate Producer’s Plant Products pursuant to the fixed recovery rates set forth on Exhibit F for a cumulative thirty (30) Days in any ninety (90) Day period (with no extension if such failure is caused by Force Majeure), then upon Producer’s written notice to Processor, Processor shall have fifteen (15) Days from receipt of such notice to propose a feasible plan to Producer that shall resolve such issue, at Processor’s sole cost and expense, within sixty

Exhibit I – Page 13

(60) Days after proposing such plan (the “Resolution Period”). If (A) Processor fails to propose a resolution within the stated fifteen (15) Days, (B) the issue is not resolved after completion of Processor’s resolution, or (C) Processor does not complete such resolution within the Resolution Period (but if Processor’s completion is delayed or prevented by reason of Force Majeure, the Resolution Period shall be extended by an additional 120 Days), Producer may elect within thirty (30) Days following Processor’s failure to propose a resolution, the completion of such inadequate resolution or the expiration of such Resolution Period, as applicable, by giving written notice to Processor, to receive a permanent release from dedication as to the affected Delivery Point and the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area associated with such Delivery Point (and such released portion(s) shall be stated in terms of acreage); provided, however, Producer shall not be entitled to the foregoing remedy to the extent that Producer’s good-faith estimate of the affected volumes exceeds the last 2-Year Forecast Producer delivered to Processor in accordance with Section 2.1(c). If Producer elects a permanent release and Processor’s failure to take and process Producer’s Gas only affects certain, specific Delivery Point(s), Producer’s permanent release shall be limited to such affected Delivery Point(s) and the portion of the Dedicated Area connected upstream of such affected Delivery Point(s), including existing and future wells within such portion of the Dedicated Area. If Producer elects a permanent release and Processor’s failure to take and process Producer’s Gas affects all Delivery Points receiving Processable Gas or all Delivery Points receiving Non-Processable Gas, the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released shall be designated by Producer, acting reasonably and in good faith, provided that Producer shall provide to Processor (subject to the confidentiality and non-use restrictions set forth in this Agreement) reasonable evidence to support Producer’s determination of the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released, and as long as Producer’s determination of the areas to be released is reasonably supported, such determination shall be deemed conclusive. For clarity, this Section 2.2(b) is not applicable to the extent that Producer’s upstream gatherer fails to connect a new Receipt Point.

(c)    Release by Upstream Gatherer. Delivery of Producer’s Gas to Processor hereunder is dependent upon the performance of upstream gathering facilities to which Producer has made a dedication similar to the dedication under this Agreement. To the extent that Producer’s dedication under such upstream contracts is released, Producer shall receive a corresponding release from dedication under this Agreement.

Section 2.3    No Election of Remedies. Producer’s exercise of any right to a release from dedication under Section 2.2 shall not be deemed as an election of remedies for any unexcused failure of Processor to perform any obligation under this Agreement, and Producer shall be entitled to any and all other remedies, including specific performance and injunctive relief (without the need to post any bond).

Section 2.4    Processing and Related Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Month during the Term Processor shall provide, or cause to be provided the following services, each on a Firm basis (collectively, the “Services”):

(a) receive, or cause to be received, Producer’s Gas (including entrained condensate) at the Delivery Points up to Producer’s Reserved Capacity;

Exhibit I – Page 14

(b) dehydrate, compress, and, if required to meet the Redelivery Point Gas Quality Specifications, treat all of Producer’s Non-Processable Gas at the Central Conditioning Facilities and purchase or deliver for Producer’s account such Producer’s Non-Processable Gas as Residue Gas;

(c) for Producer’s Processable Gas, (i) compress and redeliver such Producer’s Gas into a high pressure gathering system, (ii) during the Gas Lift Redelivery Period and at Producer’s direction, re-accept a portion of Producer’s Gas at a High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Point and redeliver to Producer, and (iii) re-accept such Producer’s Gas, less any Producer Gas redelivered to Producer at a High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Point, at the Cryos;

(d) dehydrate, compress, treat (if required to meet the Redelivery Point Gas Quality Specifications), and remove Plant Products from all of Producer’s Processable Gas; and purchase or deliver for Producer’s account all Producer’s Residue Gas and Plant Products for volumes attributable to Producer’s Processable Gas; and

(e) perform such other obligations and actions as are described under this Agreement.

Processor shall perform all Services and operate Processor’s Facilities consistent with industry standard and in a prudent, workmanlike manner.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Producer shall not be entitled to Services on a Firm basis on any Processor’s Facilities, or any portions of the Processor’s Facilities, that have been built by Processor exclusively to service Gas volumes delivered by any Third Party customer.

Section 2.5    Recovery Rates and Take In-Kind Rights.

(a)    Recovery Rates. Subject to Producer’s Ethane Option, Processor shall determine Producer’s share of Residue Gas and Plant Products from Producer’s Processable Gas based on the fixed recovery rates (which includes any condensate fallout) and the allocation methodology shown on Exhibit F.

Any Plant Products that are recovered from Producer’s Processable Gas in excess of the fixed recovery rates described in Exhibit F shall be retained for the account of Processor, and Processor agrees to sell, or cause to be sold, such retained Plant Products (other than condensate fallout) to Enterprise Products Operating LLC or its successor. For clarity, Processor shall include any Drip volumes in the Gas delivered by Producer in its calculation of Producer’s share of Producer’s Plant Products, but Processor shall deliver pentanes in lieu of condensate at the Plant Products Redelivery Points.

(b)    Allocation Event. If Processor is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by Force Majeure, to perform or comply with any obligation or condition of this Agreement for more than seventy-two (72) consecutive hours in a given Month that impacts system recoveries of Plant Products (an “Allocation Event”), then for the duration of the Allocation Event, Processor may allocate Plant Products and Residue Gas based on actual recoveries and fuels as described in this Section 2.5(b).

Exhibit I – Page 15

(i) Processor will allocate FL&U consumed in Processor’s Facilities that handle Processable Gas to each Receipt Point based on the ratio of MMBtu of Producer’s Processable Gas received at the Receipt Point to the total MMBtus of Gas received at all applicable receipt points into Processor’s Facilities utilizing the same level of compression service; provided, however, fuel used in the treating of natural gas for the removal of non-hydrocarbon contaminants shall be allocated only to such Receipt Point(s) or receipt points which require the removal of such non-hydrocarbon contaminants in order to meet the quality specifications at the Plant Product Redelivery Points or the Redelivery Point Gas Quality Specifications. The allocation of fuel for such Receipt Point(s) or receipt points requiring removal of non-hydrocarbon contaminants will be further allocated based on such Receipt Point or receipt point volume and the percentage of non-hydrocarbon contaminants contained in each gas stream.

(ii) For each Receipt Point, Processor will determine the quantity of Plant Products allocated to Producer by multiplying the total quantity of each Plant Product component recovered and sold from the applicable Processor’s Facilities and/or the Cryo by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the gallons of such Plant Product component contained in the Processable Gas delivered by Producer at the Receipt Point less (i) its allocated share of FL&U that is consumed upstream of the Cryo and (ii) Gas delivered to Producer at High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Points, and the denominator of which will be the total gallons of such Plant Product component contained in all Gas delivered to Processor from all sources connected to Processor’s Cryos, less FL&U and buyback gas, if applicable.

(iii) The MMBtu of Residue Gas allocable to Producer shall be determined by multiplying the MMBtu of Residue Gas available from the Cryo by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the theoretical MMBtu of Residue Gas remaining from Producer’s Processable Gas at the Receipt Point less Gas delivered to Producer at High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Points, and the denominator of which will be the total of the theoretical MMBtu of Residue Gas remaining from all gas delivered to Processor from all sources connected to Processor’s Cryos, less buyback gas, if applicable.

(c)    Take In-Kind - Residue Gas. For each Calendar Year during the Term, Producer shall have the right to take its Residue Gas in-kind. Producer elects to take its Residue Gas in-kind at the Residue Gas Redelivery Point as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. This election shall remain in effect until Producer provides notice to Processor at least one hundred eighty (180) Days prior to beginning of the Calendar Year that Producer no longer elects to take its Residue Gas in-kind, and such election to no longer take in-kind shall continue for the remainder of the Term. For any Calendar Year the Producer elects to take its Residue Gas in-kind, Processor shall not be required to pay the Residue Gas Price. Additionally, during any such Calendar Year, the “Take In-Kind Terms” set forth in Article VIII and Exhibit E, as well as the applicable title, possession, and liability provisions of Article XIII and Article XIV shall apply.

Exhibit I – Page 16

(d)    Take In-Kind - Plant Products. For each Calendar Year during the Term, Producer shall have the right to take its Plant Products in-kind. Producer elects to take its Plant Products in-kind at the Plant Products Redelivery Point as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. This election shall remain in effect until Producer provides notice to Processor at least one hundred eighty (180) Days period to the beginning of the Calendar Year that Producer no longer elects to take its Plant Products in-kind, and such election to no longer take in-kind shall continue for the remainder of the Term. For any Calendar Year that Producer elects to take its Plant Products in-kind, Processor shall not be required to pay the Plant Products Price. Additionally, during any such Calendar Year, the “Take In-Kind Terms” set forth in Article IX and Exhibit E, as well as the applicable title, possession, and liability provisions of Article XIII and Article XIV shall apply.

Section 2.6    Modification of System Capacity. Other than during periods of emergency and/or required Maintenance, Processor shall not take, without Producer’s prior written consent, any action that could cause the Plant Capacity to be reduced below the aggregate capacity needed to satisfy all of Processor’s Firm contracts.

Section 2.7    Priority of Gas Services; Curtailment. Processor covenants that it shall not oversubscribe Processor’s Facilities or take additional production into Processor’s Facilities if, as a result, Processor is unable to perform its Service obligations under this Agreement. Processor agrees to not provide services of any kind for any Third Party Gas on a basis that has a priority higher than that to which Producer is entitled under this Agreement without Producer’s prior written consent; provided, however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if the Third Party agreement shall not be reasonably expected to impact Processor’s ability to perform its obligations to Producer under this Agreement. If for any reason, including, without limitation, Force Majeure, maintenance, or constraints at Redelivery Point(s), Processor needs to curtail receipt, processing or delivery of Gas at the Processor’s Facilities, the following procedures shall be followed:

(a) First, Gas deliveries from all customers other than Producer and Similarly Situated Customers shall be curtailed prior to any curtailment or interruption of Producer’s Gas or Gas from Similarly Situated Customers; and

(b) Second, if additional curtailments are required beyond Section 2.7(a) above, Processor shall notify Producer and the Similarly Situated Customers of such curtailment and require good faith estimates of expected gas volumes from Producer and Similarly Situated Customers. Processor shall then allocate the Plant Capacity at the affected Delivery Point on a pro rata basis based upon Producer’s and each Similarly Situated Customer’s respective good faith estimates for the affected point.

Section 2.8    Third Party Gas. Processor agrees that it shall not accept Third Party Gas into the Processor’s Facilities if such Third Party Gas shall cause Producer’s Gas to not meet the Redelivery Point Gas Quality Specifications.

Exhibit I – Page 17

Section 2.9    Operation and Maintenance of Processor’s Facilities. Processor shall (i) be entitled to complete operational control of the Processor’s Facilities and (ii) construct, install, own, operate, and maintain, at its sole cost, risk and expense, the facilities in accordance with all applicable laws, as a reasonably prudent operator and, to the extent reasonably possible, in a cost-efficient and effective manner for Producer. For the avoidance of doubt, Processor shall have the right to deliver Producer’s Non-Processable Gas to the Cryos as long as Processor settles Producer’s Fees and FL&U based on the Non-Processable Gas terms in this Agreement.

Section 2.10    Commingling. The Parties agree that Producer’s Gas may constitute part of the supply of Gas from multiple sources, and Processor shall have the right, subject to Processor’s obligations under this Agreement, to commingle Producer’s Gas with other Gas, to deliver Residue Gas and Plant Products containing molecules different from those received at the Delivery Points, and to handle the molecules delivered at the Delivery Points in any manner.

ARTICLE III

DELIVERY POINTS AND PRESSURE

Section 3.1    Delivery Points. The delivery points for all Producer’s Gas delivered by Producer under this Agreement shall be the location where Producer’s Gas enters the inlet flange of the Processor’s Facilities located at the points identified on Exhibit B of this Agreement (each, a “Delivery Point,” and together, the “Delivery Points”).

Section 3.2    Pressure at Delivery Points. Producer shall cause Producer’s Gas to be delivered to the Delivery Points at a pressure sufficient to enter the Processor’s facilities, provided that Processor maintains the operating pressures at not more than [***] psig at the inlet to any Central Conditioning Facilities and at all other Low Pressure Delivery Points. Processor shall maintain a minimum operating pressure at the inlet to the Cryogenic Processing Facilities and at the High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Points of no less than the minimum pressure for each such point as detailed on Exhibit B. Producer shall not deliver Gas at a pressure in excess of the MAOP at the Delivery Point, as such MAOP may exist from time to time. As of the Effective Date, the MAOP at each Delivery Point shall be listed on Exhibit B, and Processor shall give written notice to Producer at any time thereafter that the MAOP for any Delivery Point changes and for each additional Delivery Point when it is added.

Section 3.3    Pressure at Residue Gas Redelivery Points. If Producer elects to take its Residue Gas in-kind, Processor shall redeliver Residue Gas at a pressure sufficient to enter the receiving facilities at such Residue Gas Redelivery Point, but shall not deliver such Gas at a pressure in excess of the MAOP of such receiving facilities, as such MAOP may exist from time to time.

Section 3.4    Pressure at Plant Product Redelivery Points. If Producer elects to take its Plant Products in-kind, Processor shall redeliver Plant Products at a pressure sufficient to enter the receiving facilities at each Plant Product Redelivery Point, but shall not deliver such Plant Products at a pressure in excess of MAOP of such receiving facilities, as such MAOP may exist from time to time.

Exhibit I – Page 18

Section 3.5    Release Rights. At any time that the operating pressure at a Delivery Point is not in compliance with the required operating pressure or is in excess of the MAOP for any reason, including Force Majeure, Producer shall be entitled to an immediate temporary release from dedication and may immediately dispose of and/or deliver to any third Person any of Producer’s Gas available for delivery at such Delivery Point. In the event the operating pressure is not in compliance with the required pressure for a cumulative thirty (30) Days in any ninety (90) Day period for reasons other than Force Majeure, then upon Producer’s written notice to Processor, Processor shall have fifteen (15) Days from receipt of such notice to propose a feasible plan that shall, at Processor’s sole cost and expense, resolve the pressure issue within sixty (60) Days after proposing such plan (the “Resolution Period”) so that the pressure shall be maintained in compliance with the required pressure (including when all available Gas is delivered to the Delivery Point(s), i.e., including all of Producer’s Gas that may have been temporarily released). If (a) Processor fails to propose a resolution within the stated fifteen (15) Days, (b) the issue is not resolved after completion of Processor’s resolution, or (c) Processor does not complete its proposed resolution within the Resolution Period for any reason (but if Processor’s completion is delayed or prevented by reason of Force Majeure, the Resolution Period shall be extended by an additional 120 Days), then Producer may elect, by giving written notice to Processor, to receive a permanent release from dedication as to any affected Delivery Point(s) and the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area associated with such Delivery Point(s) (and such released portion(s) may be stated in terms of wells and/or acreage); provided, however, Producer shall not be entitled to a permanent release to the extent that (x) any Receipt Point(s) upstream of the Delivery Point are in compliance with the Required Pressure (as defined in the Gas Gathering Agreement) for such Receipt Point(s) or (y) Producer’s good-faith estimate of volumes exceeds the last 2-Year Forecast Producer delivered to Processor in accordance with Section 2.1(c). If Producer elects a permanent release and the pressure issue only affects certain, specific Delivery Point(s), Producer’s permanent release shall be limited to such affected Delivery Point(s) and the portion of the Dedicated Area connected upstream of such affected Delivery Point(s), including existing and future wells within such portion of the Dedicated Area. If Producer elects a permanent release and the pressure issue affects all Delivery Points receiving Processable Gas or all Delivery Points receiving Non-Processable Gas, the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released shall be designated by Producer, acting reasonably and in good faith, provided that Producer shall provide to Processor (subject to the confidentiality and non-use restrictions set forth in this Agreement) reasonable evidence to support Producer’s determination of the portion(s) of the Dedicated Area to be released, and as long as Producer’s determination of the areas to be released is reasonably supported, such determination shall be deemed conclusive. Producer’s right to a release from dedication shall not be deemed an election of remedies, and Producer shall be entitled to any and all other remedies, including specific performance and injunctive relief (without the need to post any bond).

Exhibit I – Page 19

ARTICLE IV

GAS QUALITY

Section 4.1    Gas Quality Specifications. Processable Gas shall meet the Gas Quality Specifications set forth in Exhibit D-1. Non-Processable Gas shall meet the Gas Quality Specifications set forth in Exhibit D-2. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IV to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date, Processor is accepting Producer Gas from certain Sour Gas Receipt Points listed on Exhibit D-1 for Producer’s Processable Gas and Exhibit D-2 for Producer’s Non-Processable Gas that may not conform to the applicable Gas Quality Specifications, and the Parties agree that as long as (i) the concentration of the respective non-conforming Gas Quality Specification or daily delivered volume does not exceed 110% of the Baseline Conditions as stated on Exhibit D-1 for Producer’s Processable Gas and Exhibit D-2 for Producer’s Non-Processable Gas and (ii) the conditions of Section 4.2 are satisfied, Producer Gas delivered from such sources during the Term shall not be considered Off-Spec Gas.

Section 4.2    Non-Conforming Gas. If at any time (i) the weighted average by volume of Producer’s Processable Gas received at all Delivery Points fails to conform to the Gas Quality Specifications set forth in Exhibit D-1, (ii) the weighted average by volume of Producer’s Non-Processable Gas received at all Delivery Points fails to conform to the Gas Quality Specifications set forth in Exhibit D-2, or (iii) Producer’ Gas received at any Receipt Point contains more than one hundred (100) parts per million by volume of hydrogen sulfide or more than six percent (6%) carbon dioxide by volume. (in each case, “Off-Spec Gas”), then Processor shall promptly give Producer written notice of the deficiency and shall have the right to cease taking any Off-Spec Gas. In addition, Processor shall give Producer written notice (a “Near Off-Spec Notice”) if Producer’s Gas reaches eighty percent (80%) of the applicable specification for hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen, and such Near Off-Spec Notice shall remain in effect until Producer’s Gas has not exceeded fifty percent (50%) of the applicable specification for hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen for five (5) consecutive Days; provided, that if the circumstances giving rise to a Near Off-Spec Notice last for more than one Month, Processor shall provide an updated Near Off-Spec Notice for each Month that the situation continues.

Section 4.3    Reimbursement for Costs and Expenses. Producer shall reimburse Processor for actual, reasonable costs and expenses directly resulting from damage to (i) the Processor’s Facilities, (ii) other customers’ Gas, and (iii) all third parties located downstream of Processor’s Facilities, to the extent such damage is directly caused by the delivery to the Processor’s Facilities of Producer’s Gas that is Off-Spec Gas, except when Processor knowingly accepts such Off-Spec Gas into the Processor’s Facilities. Notwithstanding the above or anything else in this Agreement, Producer’s responsibility under this Section 4.3 shall be for actual, direct damages only, and in no event shall this Section 4.3 require Producer to pay or in any way be responsible for the Consequential Damages of any Person.

Exhibit I – Page 20

ARTICLE V

MEASUREMENT

Section 5.1    Equipment and Specifications. Producer’s Gas delivered to the Processor’s Facilities shall be measured by Processor at each Receipt Point, each Delivery Point, each High Pressure Gas Lift Redelivery Point, and any point on the gathering system upstream of Processor’s Facilities where buyback gas is redelivered to Producer, and the Residue Gas and Plant Products shall be measured at the meter(s) at the applicable Redelivery Point(s). The meters and appurtenant facilities shall be installed, operated, and maintained by Processor in accurate working order and condition, in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Article V, with good and workmanlike standards generally practiced by reasonably prudent gas processing operators, and in accordance with all laws.

Section 5.2    Gas Meter Standards. Orifice meters installed in such measuring stations for Gas shall be constructed and operated in accordance with ANSI/API 2530 API 14.3, AGA Report No. 3, Orifice Metering of Natural Gas and Other Related Hydrocarbon Fluids (including as it may be revised from time to time) and shall include the use of flange connections and, where necessary, straightening vanes, flow conditioners and/or pulsation dampening equipment. Ultrasonic meters or Coriolis meters installed in such measuring stations shall be constructed and operated in accordance with AGA Report No. 9, Measurement of Gas by Ultrasonic Meters, First Edition, and AGA Report No. 11, Measurement of Natural Gas by Coriolis Meter, respectively; and any subsequent modification and amendment thereof generally accepted within the Gas industry. Electronic flow computers shall be used and the Gas shall have its volume, mass, and/or heat content computed in accordance with the applicable AGA standards including, but not limited to, AGA Report Nos. 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and API 21.1 “Flow Measurement Using Electronic Metering Systems” and any subsequent modifications and amendments thereof generally accepted within the Gas industry. When Gas chromatographs are used they shall be installed, operated, maintained, and verified according to industry standards (GPA 2261, GPA 2145, GPA 2172, and GPA 2177).

Section 5.3    Notice of Measurement Equipment Inspection and Calibration. Each Party shall give seventy-two (72) hours’ notice to the other Party in order that the other Party may, at its option, have representatives present to observe any reading, inspecting, testing, calibrating, or adjusting of measuring equipment used in measuring or checking the measurement of receipts or deliveries of Gas under this Agreement. The official electronic data from such measuring equipment shall remain the property of the measuring equipment owner, but copies of such records shall, upon written request, be submitted, together with calculations and flow computer configurations therefrom, to the requesting Party for inspection and verification.

Section 5.4    Measurement Accuracy Verification. Each Party shall verify the accuracy of all transmitters, flow computers, and other equipment used in the measurement of the Gas hereunder at intervals not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) Days and cause such equipment to be adjusted or calibrated as necessary. Testing frequency shall be based upon each Delivery Point flow rate (Mcf/Day). Any flow rate at a Delivery Point that is: (x) greater than 1,000 Mcf/Day shall be tested Monthly, (y) between 101 and 1,000 Mcf/Day shall be tested quarterly, and (z) less than 100 Mcf/Day shall be tested semi-annually. Neither Party shall be required to cause adjustment or calibration of such equipment more frequently than once every Month, unless a special test is requested pursuant to Section 5.5. If, upon testing, (i) no adjustment or calibration error is found that results in an incremental adjustment to the calculated flow rate through each meter run in excess of two percent (2%) of the adjusted flow rate (whether positive or negative and using the adjusted flow rate as the percent error equation denominator) or (ii) any quantity

Exhibit I – Page 21

error is not greater than two hundred fifty (250) Mcf per Month, then any previous recordings of such equipment shall be considered accurate in computing deliveries but such equipment shall be adjusted or calibrated at once. If, during any test of the measuring equipment, an adjustment or calibration error is found that results in (i) an incremental adjustment to the calculated flow rate through each meter run in excess of two percent (2%) of the adjusted flow rate (whether positive or negative and using the adjusted flow rate as the percent error equation denominator) and (ii) a quantity error greater than two hundred fifty (250) Mcf per Month (“Material Measurement Error”), then any previous recordings of such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period during which the error existed (and which is either known definitely or agreed to by the Parties) and the total flow for such period shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.6. If the period of error condition cannot be determined or agreed upon between the Parties, such correction shall be for a period extending over the last one half (1/2) of the time elapsed since the date of the last test.

Section 5.5    Special Tests.

Section 5.8    Correction Factors for Volume Measurement. The computations of the volumes of Gas measured shall be made as follows:

(a)    The hourly orifice coefficient for each meter shall be calculated at the base pressure of fourteen and sixty-five hundredths (14.65) psia and the base temperature of sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit. All Gas volume measurements shall be based on a local atmospheric pressure assumed to be thirteen and seven-tenths (13.7) psia.

(b)    The flowing temperature of the Gas shall be continuously measured. In the case of electronic metering, such temperature measurement shall be used as continuous input to the flow computer for calculation of Gas volume, mass and/or energy content in accordance with the applicable AGA or API 21.1 standards including, but not limited to, AGA Report Nos. 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and any subsequent modification and amendments thereof generally accepted within the Gas industry.

(c)    Measurements of inside diameters of pipe runs and orifices shall be obtained by means of a micrometer to the nearest one-thousandth of an inch, and such measurements shall be used in computations of coefficients.

(d)    In determining the volume of Gas, when electronic transducers and flow computers are used, the Gas shall have its volume, mass and/or energy content continuously integrated in accordance with the applicable AGA standards including, but not limited to, AGA report Nos. 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and any subsequent modification and amendments thereof generally accepted within the Gas industry.

(e)    In calculating the volume of Gas, deviation from Boyle’s Law at the pressure, specific gravity, and temperature for each measurement shall be determined by use of AGA Report No. 8, Compressibility Factors for Natural Gas and Other Related Hydrocarbon Gases, published by the AGA in conjunction with Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 3 and amendments thereto generally accepted within the Gas industry.

(f)    Whenever the conditions of pressure and temperature differ from the standards described herein, conversion of the volume from these conditions to the standard conditions shall be made in accordance with the Ideal Gas Laws, corrected for deviation by the methods set forth in the AGA Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 3, as said report may be amended from time to time.

Section 5.9    Exception to Gas Measurement Basis. If at any time the basis of measurement set out in this Agreement should conflict with any Law, then the basis of measurement provided for in such Law shall govern measurements hereunder.

Section 5.10    Gas Sampling. Receipt Point meters downstream of new wells or wells that have been changed due to a workover or other well bore alteration that could alter the Gas composition shall be sampled Monthly until the analyses demonstrate reasonable consistency. After such time, said meters shall then be sampled at the stated calibration frequency. Processor shall install and maintain a Gas composite sampler at each of the Receipt Points.

(a)    Receipt Points and Delivery Points. The composition, specific gravity and Gross Heating Value of Producer’s Gas shall be determined by the measuring party taking a sample at the same frequency as the meter calibration test. The sample shall be acquired through an on-line chromatograph or a composite sampler. The analytical results shall be applied at the beginning of the Month the sample is taken until a subsequent representative sample is applied.

Exhibit I – Page 23

(b)    Residue Gas Redelivery Points. The composition, specific gravity, and Gross Heating Value of Producer’s Residue Gas shall be determined by the measuring party taking a sample at the same frequency as the meter calibration test. The sample shall be acquired through either an on-line Gas chromatograph or a composite sampler. The analytical results shall be applied at the beginning of the Month the sample is taken until a subsequent representative sample is applied.

(c)    The specific gravity of Gas at all applicable measurement points shall be determined by a Gas chromatographic component analysis to the nearest one thousandth (0.001) of the samples of the Gas taken for test purposes as provided above, or by such other method as shall be mutually agreed upon.

(d)    The Gross Heating Value shall be measured by Gas chromatographic analysis or component analysis of the samples of the Gas taken for test purposes as provided above, or by such other method as shall be mutually agreed upon.

(e)    The Gas received by Processor at Delivery Points other than those at the inlet of a Cryogenic Processing Facility shall be deemed as saturated with water and the Gas shall be measured and settled as saturated at base pressure and base temperature.

Section 5.11    Modifications to Measurement Procedures. In the event the measurement procedures herein cease to be reflective of actual operations or become inequitable in any respect, such measurement procedures shall be modified to reflect actual operations and to remove such inequities, as long as such modified measurement procedures are consistently applied to Producer and all other customers at the Processor’s Facilities.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 19.1    Confidentiality. Producer’s 2-Year Forecast delivered to Processor pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and all other information received by Processor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which involves or in any way relates to Producer’s production estimates, development plans, and/or other similar information, and information related to Producer’s actual production at any individual Receipt Point, including, without limitation, information relating to production rates, volumes, composition, heating value, or other similar or dissimilar information, shall be kept strictly confidential by Processor, and Processor shall not disclose any such information to any third Person or use any such information for any purpose other than performing under this Agreement, provided, however, Processor may disclose such information to those of its legal counsel, accountants, and other representatives with a specific need to know such information for purposes of Processor’s performance under this Agreement or enforcement of this Agreement or as required by applicable Law, provided such third Persons have likewise agreed in writing to the confidentiality and non-use restrictions set forth herein. In the event Processor is required by Law to disclose any such information, Processor shall first notify Producer in writing as soon as practicable of any proceeding of which it is aware that may result in disclosure and shall use all reasonable efforts to prevent or limit such disclosure. Producer’s confidential information shall not include information that Processor can satisfactorily demonstrate was: (a) rightfully in the possession of Processor prior to Producer’s disclosure hereunder, (b) in the public domain prior to Producer’s disclosure hereunder, (c) made public by any Governmental Authority; (d) supplied to Processor without restriction by a third party who is under no obligation to Producer to maintain such confidential information in confidence; or (e) independently developed by Processor. The confidentiality requirements and non-use restrictions set forth herein shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement for two (2) Years after such termination or expiration. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Parties agree that there is not an adequate remedy at law for any breach of these confidentiality and non-use restrictions and, therefore, Producer shall be entitled (without the posting of any bond) to specific performance and injunctive relief restraining any breach hereof, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have or be entitled.

Section 19.2    Independent Contractor. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Processor undertakes its obligations under this Agreement as an independent contractor, at its sole risk, and all Persons carrying out any of Processor’s obligations set forth herein for or on behalf

Exhibit I – Page 35

of Processor are or shall be deemed employees, contractors, subcontractors, agents, and/or representatives of Processor, subject to the direction and control of Processor. Processor is to determine the manner, means, and methods in which such Persons shall carry out their work to attain the results contemplated by this Agreement, consistent with the general coordinative efforts and suggestions of Producer with respect to the work. Nothing in this Agreement or inferred from any action of either Party shall be taken to establish the relationship of master and servant or principal and agent between Producer and Processor.

Section 19.3    Rights; Waivers. The failure of either Party to exercise any right granted hereunder shall not impair nor be deemed a waiver of that Party’s privilege of exercising that right at any subsequent time or times. No waiver by either Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly provided.

Section 19.4    Applicable Laws. This Agreement is subject to all valid present and future Laws of any Governmental Authority(ies) now or hereafter having jurisdiction over the Parties, this Agreement, or the Services performed or the facilities utilized under this Agreement.

Section 19.5    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas, without regard to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO LAW, THEORY, OR PUBLIC POLICY SHALL BE GIVEN EFFECT WHICH WOULD UNDERMINE, DIMINISH, OR REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EACH PARTY’S WAIVER OF SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, AND EXEMPLARY DAMAGES SET FORTH IN SECTION 19.9 OR WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 19.10, IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENT, UNDERSTANDING, AND AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES THAT SUCH WAIVERS ARE TO BE GIVEN THE FULLEST EFFECT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PRE-EXISTING CONDITION OR THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT, OR CONCURRENT), GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER LEGAL FAULT OF ANY PARTY HERETO, OR OTHERWISE.

Section 19.6    Assignments. This Agreement, including any and all renewals, extensions, and amendments hereto, and all rights, title, and interests contained herein, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, and assigns, the assigns of all or any part of Processor’s right, title, or interest in the Processor’s Facilities, and the assigns of all or any part of Producer’s Interests in the Dedicated Area, and each Party’s respective obligations hereunder shall be covenants running with the lands underlying or included in any such assets. Neither Party shall Transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned; provided, however, that either Party may Transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party and that, in connection with a Transfer of all or any portion of the Dedicated Area, Producer shall Transfer its corresponding rights and obligations under this Agreement without the need for the prior written consent of Processor; provided that in the event of a partial assignment by Producer, the aggregate volume of Producer’s and its transferee’s New Well Gas that receives the reduced [$0.345] Cryogenic Processing Fee shall not exceed [list incentive volume that Producer has]. Any Transfer of this Agreement shall expressly

Exhibit I – Page 36

require that the assignee assume and agree to discharge the duties and obligations of its assignor under this Agreement, and the assignor shall be released from the duties and obligations arising under this Agreement which accrue after the effective date of such Transfer. Processor shall not Transfer its rights and interests in the Processor’s Facilities, in whole or in part, unless the transferee of such interests agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Transfer of this Agreement or of any interest of either Party shall be binding on the other Party until such other Party has been notified in writing of such Transfer and furnished with reasonable evidence of same. No such Transfer of this Agreement or of any interests of either Party shall operate in any way to enlarge, alter, or modify any obligation of the other Party hereto. Any Person that succeeds by purchase, merger, or consolidation with a Party hereto shall be subject to the duties and obligations of its predecessor in interests under this Agreement.

Section 19.7    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, representations, and/or warranties by or among the Parties, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. No other representations, warranties, understandings, or agreements shall have any effect on this Agreement.

Section 19.8    Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by a written document signed by both Parties that expressly amends this Agreement.

Section 19.9    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (COLLECTIVELY, “CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES”) RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH THEREOF OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, EACH PARTY RELEASES THE OTHER PARTY AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT OF RECOVERY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SUCH PARTY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE CAUSED BY THE OTHER PARTY’S NEGLIGENCE (AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR GROSS), FAULT, OR LIABILITY WITHOUT FAULT. PROCESSOR UNDERSTANDS THAT PRODUCER IS RELYING ON PROCESSOR’S PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO ENABLE PRODUCER TO MEET ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER DOWNSTREAM CONTRACTS, AND PROCESSOR EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED BY PRODUCER UNDER ANY SUCH DOWNSTREAM CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF PROCESSOR’S UNEXCUSED FAILURE TO PERFORM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSIDERED DIRECT DAMAGES.

Section 19.10    RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS AGREEMENT THAT MAY BE CONSTRUED TO THE CONTRARY, A PARTY’S SOLE REMEDY AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY FOR NON-PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CLAIM OF

Exhibit I – Page 37

WHATSOEVER NATURE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OUT OF ANY ACTION OR INACTION BY A PARTY IN RELATION HERETO SHALL BE IN CONTRACT AND EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OTHER REMEDY IT MAY HAVE IN LAW OR EQUITY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY REMEDY IN TORT.

Section 19.11    Replacement Indices. In the event a published index or rate required hereunder is not available, the Parties shall promptly agree upon an alternative index or rate to be utilized, upon either Party giving written notice to the other that an alternative index or rate is needed. Such alternative index or rate shall be effective retroactively to the date on which the original index or rate ceased to be available. If the Parties have not agreed on an alternative index or rate by the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day after notice was given, then each Party shall, by the end of the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the notice was given, prepare a list of three alternative published and industry recognized indices or rates to replace the index or rate that has become unavailable. The first common item that appears on each of the lists shall be the alternative index or rate. If there is more than one common item on both lists, the one appearing first on both lists, giving priority to the list first submitted by one Party to the other, shall be the alternative index or rate. If no common item appears on the lists, each Party may strike in turn, one item from the other Party’s list until only one item remains on each list. The alternative index or rate will then be determined from the two remaining items by coin flip. If either Party fails to deliver a list, the first item appearing on the submitting Party’s list will govern and prevail to determine the alternative index or rate.

Section 19.12    No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create an association, trust, partnership, or joint venture or impose a trust, fiduciary, or partnership duty, obligation, or liability on or with regard to either Party.

Section 19.13    Rules of Construction. In construing this Agreement, the following principles shall be followed:

(a)    no consideration shall be given to the fact or presumption that one Party had a greater or lesser hand in drafting this Agreement;

(b)    the headings and captions in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms and/or conditions hereof;

(c)    examples shall not be construed to limit, expressly or by implication, the matter they illustrate;

(d)    the word “includes” and its syntactical variants mean “includes, but is not limited to” and corresponding syntactical variant expressions; and

(e)    the plural shall be deemed to include the singular and vice versa, as applicable.

Section 19.14    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for Persons expressly indemnified hereunder, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and shall not inure to the benefit of any other Person, it being the intention of the Parties that no third Person shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Exhibit I – Page 38

Section 19.15    Further Assurances. Each Party shall take such acts and execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably required to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 19.16    No Inducements. No director, employee, or agent of any Party shall give or receive any commission, fee, rebate, gift, or entertainment of significant cost or value in connection with this Agreement.

Section 19.17    Counterpart Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original, and all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument.

Section 19.18    Survival. The terms of this Agreement which by their nature should reasonably be expected to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive, including, without limitation, Article XI (Audit Rights), Article XIII (Indemnification), Article XVII (Dispute Resolution), Section 19.1 (Confidentiality), Section 19.5 (Governing Law), Section 19.9 (Limitation of Liability), Section 19.10 (Rights and Remedies), this Section 19.18 (Survival), and the obligations of either Party under any provision of this Agreement to make payment hereunder.

Section 19.20    Changes in Laws. If following the Effective Date there is a change in any Law or legal requirement affecting the Services provided by Processor which, in the reasonable judgment of Processor, materially adversely affects the economics for Processor of the Services provided under this Agreement, then, upon notice by Processor to Producer, the Parties will as promptly as practicable meet to negotiate in good faith such changes to the terms of this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate to preserve and continue for the Parties the rights and benefits originally contemplated for the Parties by this Agreement, with such amendment to this Agreement to be effective no later than the effective date of such new or amended applicable Law. If the Parties cannot agree on replacement terms, then either party may terminate this Agreement by giving the other party written notice of termination. Such termination will be effective no earlier than sixty (60) Days after the date of the notice.

TAKE IN-KIND TERMS

For any Calendar Year during which Producer elects under Section 2.5 of the Agreement to take its Residue Gas and/or Plant Products in-kind, the following terms shall apply:

I. Nominations. Processor and Producer agree that scheduling and commencement of service shall be consistent with the downstream receiving pipeline or transporter nomination requirements. Whenever Producer’s Residue Gas is to be scheduled or nominated hereunder, each Party shall provide to the other Party all information required for such nominations and confirmations with upstream and downstream pipelines or transporters. Producer shall provide Processor with Plant Product nominations on or before the 15^th Day of the Month prior to delivery.

(a)    Delivery Point Nominations. Producer shall not be required to provide Processor with nominations of the Producer’s Gas at the Delivery Point(s), however, Producer shall provide volume forecast information pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Agreement, for Processor’s general capacity planning purposes by Delivery Point.

(b)    Operational Information. Processor shall use reasonable efforts to provide daily information related to Delivery Point volume, Plant Product composition, and historical volume information in order to assist with Producer’s nominations below. Processor shall use reasonable efforts to make nomination changes as necessary, based on the information provided by Producer, at the Redelivery Points to minimize imbalances. Producer and Processor will each make good faith efforts to coordinate nominations to match physical flow in order to minimize any daily and monthly imbalances.

(c)    Redelivery Point Nominations.

i.    Producer shall make all necessary arrangements with pipelines or other third parties downstream of the Residue Gas Redelivery Points in order to help manage Processor’s delivery of Producer’s Residue Gas. Those arrangements must be coordinated with Processor, and Processor shall coordinate such arrangements with Producer and such downstream pipelines or other third parties.

ii.    Residue Gas. No later than 12:00 PM on the fifth (5^th) Business Day prior to the beginning of each Month Processor shall notify Producer of the estimated quantity of Producer’s Residue Gas per Day at the Residue Gas Redelivery Point(s), provided that nominations at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points are subject to confirmation by the downstream pipeline. By 7:00 AM on the day prior to gas flow, Processor shall notify Producer of the estimated quantity of Producer’s Residue Gas available for next day’s flow for the Residue Gas Redelivery Point(s). By 12:30 PM on the day prior to gas flow, Producer shall provide a nomination form to Processor,

Exhibit I – Page 46

indicating downstream pipeline contract number, downstream delivery point and counterparty. If Producer does not provide a nomination form to Processor, the prior nomination shall remain in effect until such time as Producer provides notice to Processor to revise the prior nomination. Processor will use reasonable efforts to confirm any nomination change requested by Producer after the nomination deadline. Processor reserves the right, from time to time, to revise its nomination procedures, subject to Producer’s consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

iii.    Producer will make all necessary arrangements with pipelines or other third parties downstream of the Plant Products Redelivery Points in order to facilitate Processor’s delivery of Plant Products. No later than one (1) Business Day prior to the nomination deadline each Month for the applicable downstream pipeline(s) receiving Plant Products, Producer will notify Processor of the estimated quantity of Plant Products per Day, provided that nominations at each Redelivery Point are subject to confirmation by the downstream pipeline. At any time, Producer may adjust its nomination prospectively for the remainder of such Month by providing Processor notice prior to the nomination deadline of the applicable downstream pipeline.

(d)    Processor and Producer shall immediately inform each other of any discovered unanticipated changes in deliveries at either the Delivery Point(s) or Redelivery Point(s). Nominations may be made by telephone, but shall be confirmed in writing by e-mail, facsimile, or other electronic means to Processor’s Gas Control Department.

II.    Pipeline Balancing. Subject to the provisions of the Agreement, Processor shall accept at the Delivery Point a Daily quantity of Producer’s Gas at the Delivery Points and redeliver Producer’s Residue Gas and Producer’s Plant Products allocated to such Producer’s Gas at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points and Plant Products Redelivery Point, respectively. All quantities received in accordance with the Agreement at the Delivery Points and all deliveries of Producer’s Residue Gas in accordance with this Agreement at the Residue Gas Redelivery Point shall be balanced on a Btu basis, and all such quantities referred to in the Agreement shall be adjusted for the Gross Heating Value thereof.

Imbalances may occur due to the difference between (1) Producer’s nomination to the downstream receiving pipeline at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points (the “Takeaway Pipeline”), which as of the Effective Date is Altus Midstream Pipeline LP, and (2) the allocated quantity of Residue Gas attributable to Producer’s Gas as calculated pursuant to Exhibit F (“Production Imbalance”). Any Production Imbalance shall be settled between Processor and Producer in the same manner that imbalances are settled between Processor and Takeaway Pipeline in their operational balancing agreement at each Residue Gas Redelivery Point (“Processor OBA”). Processor shall use its best efforts to enter into, and maintain in good standing, the Processor OBA. The Processor OBA shall not impose balancing guidelines that are more stringent on Producer than the operational balancing agreement between Takeaway Pipeline and the receiving pipelines immediately downstream of the Takeaway Pipeline (the “Downstream Receiving Pipeline”), which as of the Effective Date are El Paso Natural Gas Company, L.L.C., Roadrunner Gas Transmission, LLC, and Comanche Trail Pipeline, LLC (all such OBAs between the Takeaway Pipeline and a Downstream Receiving Pipeline, a “Takeaway Pipeline OBA”). Until such time as the Processor OBA is executed, Production Imbalances shall be settled between Processor and Producer in the same manner that imbalances are settled in the Takeaway Pipeline OBAs. Processor shall provide an invoice to Producer for settlement of Production Imbalances in accordance with this Section II along with documentation to substantiate the data on the invoice.

Exhibit I – Page 47

For the avoidance of doubt, Processor shall provide Producer reasonable flexibility in adjusting nominations; provided however, that providing Producer such flexibility in adjusting nominations shall be subject to Processor not incurring financial harm or loss as a result of Producer’s actions.

The Parties acknowledge that there are times that it is in the best interest of Producer, Processor, and/or Takeaway Pipeline to seek an exception to any cashout provision that may exist in the Processor OBA and/or the Takeaway Pipeline OBA(s) by requesting that an imbalance temporarily roll rather than to cashout (“Temporary Rolling Imbalance”). If an event outside the control of Producer occurs that may have a material adverse financial impact on Producer, Producer may request Processor seek a Temporary Rolling Imbalance with the Takeaway Pipeline or a Downstream Receiving Pipeline, and Processor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate this change. If a Temporary Rolling Imbalance is effectively negotiated with Takeaway Pipeline or Downstream Receiving Pipeline, Producer shall obtain the benefit of the Temporary Rolling Imbalance.

III.    Plant Balancing and Cash Outs. Because of dispatching and other operational causes outside of Processor’s reasonable control, imbalances may occur between (1) the total heating value of the Residue Gas actually delivered to Takeaway Pipeline at the Residue Gas Redelivery Points for Producer’s account and (2) the allocated quantity of Residue Gas attributable to Producer’s Gas as calculated pursuant to Exhibit F. Similarly, imbalances may occur between (1) the volumes of Producer’s Plant Products that are actually delivered to downstream pipelines at the Plant Products Redelivery Points for Producer’s account and (2) the allocated Plant Products attributable to Producer’s Gas as calculated pursuant to Exhibit F.

(a) Residue Gas Redelivery Point. Imbalance events at Residue Gas Redelivery Points caused by the events described in this Section III shall be cashed out at the simple average of (i) Inside F.E.R.C’s Gas Market Report in its first publication of the delivery month for “Prices of Spot Gas Delivered to Pipeline” for El Paso West Texas and (ii) Inside F.E.R.C’s Gas Market Report in its first publication of the delivery month for “Prices of Spot Gas Delivered to Pipeline” for West Texas Waha.

(b) Plant Products Redelivery Points. For imbalance events at Plant Products Redelivery Points, the Parties agree to settle imbalances through a monthly cash out. The monthly cash out price shall be based on Producer’s weighted average sales price for that month.

IV.    Curtailment. Processor shall use reasonable efforts to provide timely notification to Producer by telephone, with subsequent e-mail notification, of the potential size and duration of any unscheduled capacity disruption. If Producer does not adjust its nomination within two hours after receiving notification from Processor, then Processor may adjust Producer’s nomination and/or not confirm the nominations requested by Producer in the next nomination cycle. If Producer does not adjust its nomination as reasonably requested by Processor, and such failure to adjust nominations could materially impact operations at the Processor’s Facilities, Processor may curtail or shut in Gas for a reasonable period of time.

ALLOCATION METHODOLGIES

1.    Plant Products Allocable to Producer. The quantity of each Plant Product component allocable to Producer’s Processable Gas that was delivered to the Cryogenic Processing Facilities shall be determined by multiplying the theoretical gallons of that Plant Product component contained in the Plant Inlet Volume by the applicable Recovery Rate outlined in Section 2.5 for each component contained in Producer’s Processable Gas.

	Recovery Rate			Rejection Rate
C2		93	%		25	%
C3		97	%		95	%
C4		98	%		98	%
C5+		99	%		99	%

Producer may elect each month to have Producer’s Plant Products settled in ethane recovery mode or ethane rejection mode (“Ethane Option”). Such election must be made by five (5) days prior to the Month for which the election applies. Producer’s election of the Ethane Option shall continue to apply for successive Months until Producer provides notice otherwise to Processor at least 5 Days prior to the beginning of a Month.

2.    Residue Gas Allocable to Producer. The MMBtus of Residue Gas allocable to Producer’s Non-Processable Gas that was delivered to the Delivery Points and Producer’s Processable Gas that was delivered to the Cryogenic Processing Facilities shall be determined by the following equation:

PRG = [A – S – Rich FL&U] + [B – Lean FL&U]

where:
