Each of the XPLR Parties waives, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Service Recipients, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims they may have against the Manager for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Manager shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Service Recipients in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Service Recipients, including the owners, employees or creditors of the Service Recipients.

5.1.1    The Manager shall arrange, or shall arrange for another member of the Manager Group to arrange, for such qualified personnel and support staff to be available to carry out the Services. Such personnel and support staff shall devote such time to the provision of the Services to the Service Recipients as the relevant member of the Manager Group reasonably deems necessary and appropriate in order to fulfill its obligations hereunder. Such personnel and support staff need not have as their primary responsibility the provision of the Services to the Service Recipients or be dedicated exclusively to the provision of the Services to the Service Recipients.

5.1.2    Each of the XPLR Parties shall, and shall cause each of the other Service Recipients to, do all things reasonably necessary on its part as requested by any member of the Manager Group consistent with the terms of this Agreement to enable the members of the Manager Group to fulfill their obligations, covenants and responsibilities and to exercise their rights pursuant to this Agreement.

5.1.3    The Manager covenants and agrees to, and to cause any other member of the Manager Group to, exercise the power and discharge the duties conferred under this Agreement honestly and in good faith, and shall exercise the degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

The Manager shall, or shall cause any other member of the Manager Group to, as applicable, maintain proper books, records and documents on behalf of each Service Recipient in conformity in all material respects with GAAP and all requirements of applicable Laws and in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

Upon reasonable prior notice by the Service Recipients to the relevant member of the Manager Group, the relevant member of the Manager Group will make available to the Service Recipients and their authorized representatives, for examination during normal business hours on any Business Day, all books, records and documents required to be maintained under Section 6.1 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Manager Group shall have any obligation hereunder to provide data for costs, fees or expenses that are not paid or reimbursed pursuant to Section 7.5. Any examination of records will be conducted in a manner which will not unduly interfere with the conduct of the Service Recipients’ activities or of the Manager Group’s business in the ordinary course.

Each of the XPLR Parties shall, and shall cause the other Service Recipients to:

6.3.1    grant, or cause to be granted, to the Manager Group full access to all documentation and information reasonably necessary in order for the Manager Group to perform its obligations, covenants and responsibilities pursuant to the terms hereof, including to enable the Manager Group to provide the Services; and

6.3.2    provide, or cause to be provided, all documentation and information as may be reasonably requested by any member of the Manager Group, and promptly notify the appropriate member of the Manager Group of any material facts or information of which the Service Recipients are aware, including any known, pending or threatened suits, actions, claims, proceedings or orders by or against any member of the XPLR Group before any Governmental Authority, that may affect the performance of the obligations, covenants or responsibilities of the Manager Group pursuant to this Agreement, including maintenance of proper financial records.

The parties acknowledge and agree that conducting the activities and providing the Services contemplated herein may have the incidental effect of providing additional information which may be utilized with respect to, or may augment the value of, business interests and related assets in which any of the Service Providers or any of its Affiliates has an interest and that, subject to compliance with this Agreement, none of the Service Providers or any of their respective Affiliates will be liable to account to the Service Recipients with respect to such activities or results, provided that, in making any use of such additional information, the relevant Service Provider will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, do so in any manner that the relevant Service Provider or its Affiliates knows, or ought reasonably to know, would cause or result in a breach of any confidentiality provision of agreements to which any Service Recipient is a party or is bound.

7.1.1    Management Fee. XPLR Operating LP, on behalf of the Service Recipients, hereby agrees to pay, during the term of this Agreement, the Management Fee. The Management Fee shall be paid in accordance with Section 7.2.

7.1.2    No Reduction in Fees. The Management Fee will not be reduced by the amount of (a) any fees for Operational and Other Services that are paid or payable by any member of the XPLR Group to any member of the Manager Group, (b) any Expenses, (c) any Transaction Fees or (d) any costs, fees or expenses paid by or on behalf of XPLR Operating LP under the CSCS Agreement.

XPLR Operating LP shall remit the Quarterly Fee Amount to the Manager no later than the 15th day following the end of each Quarter. The Manager will compute the Additional Fee Amount for each fiscal year as soon as practicable following the end of the fiscal year with respect to which such payment is due, but in any event no later than January 31 of the immediately succeeding fiscal year. A copy of the computations made will thereafter, for informational purposes only, promptly be delivered to XPLR Operating LP. As soon as practicable following delivery of the computation of an Additional Fee Amount, but in no event later than the 15th day following receipt of such computation, XPLR Operating LP shall remit such Additional Fee Amount to the Manager.

XPLR Operating LP, on behalf of the Service Recipients, hereby agrees to pay to the Manager or its permitted transferees, until the dissolution of XPLR Operating LP in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the IDR Fee as computed under Section 7.4; provided however, that no IDR Fee shall be earned or paid in respect of any Quarter within the IDR Fee Suspension Period. Any IDR Fee earned pursuant to Section 7.4 in respect of any Quarter outside of the IDR

Fee Suspension Period will be paid quarterly concurrently with the payment of distributions by XPLR Operating LP to holders of its Common Units in accordance with the Partnership Agreement or promptly thereafter.

7.4.1    For each Quarter in which XPLR Operating LP has Adjusted Available Cash equal to or greater than the Maximum Incentive Amount, then the IDR Fee in respect of such Quarter shall be paid based on the hypothetical distributions of Adjusted Available Cash by XPLR Operating LP to holders of its Common Units as set forth below:

7.4.1.1    First, XPLR Operating LP will pay $39,250,000.00 of such Adjusted Available Cash to the Manager and will be deemed to distribute any remaining Adjusted Available Cash to holders of its Common Units until the aggregate amount so paid and deemed to be distributed pursuant to this Section 7.4.1.1 with respect to such Quarter is equal to the Maximum Incentive Amount; and

7.4.1.2    Second, XPLR Operating LP will be deemed to distribute one-hundred percent (100%) of any remaining Adjusted Available Cash to holders of its Common Units.

7.4.2    For each Quarter in which XPLR Operating LP has Adjusted Available Cash equal to or greater than the Base Incentive Amount but less than the Maximum Incentive Amount, then the IDR Fee in respect of such Quarter shall be paid based on the hypothetical distributions of Adjusted Available Cash by XPLR Operating LP to holders of its Common Units as set forth below:

7.4.2.1    First, XPLR Operating LP will pay $14,039,546.64 of such Adjusted Available Cash to the Manager and will be deemed to distribute any remaining Adjusted Available Cash to holders of its Common Units until the aggregate amount so paid and deemed to be distributed pursuant to this Section 7.4.2.1 with respect to such Quarter is equal to the Base Incentive Amount; and

7.4.2.2    Second, XPLR Operating LP will pay twenty-five percent (25%) of any remaining Adjusted Available Cash to the Manager and will be deemed to distribute seventy-five percent (75%) of such remainder to holders of its Common Units;

provided that, in each case, the IDR Fee for such quarter shall be paid as contemplated by this Section 7.4.2 until (x) the aggregate deemed per Common Unit distribution to holders of its Common Units pursuant to this Section 7.4.2 equals (y) the per Common Unit distribution declared by XPLR Operating LP to holders of its Common Units in accordance with the Partnership Agreement for the applicable Quarter; provided further that the aggregate IDR Fee payable for such quarter pursuant to this Section 7.4.2 shall in no event exceed $39,250,000.00.

7.4.3    For each Quarter in which XPLR Operating LP has Adjusted Available Cash less than the Base Incentive Amount, the IDR Fee in respect of such Quarter shall be paid based on hypothetical distributions of Adjusted Available Cash by XPLR Operating LP to holders of its Common Units as set forth below; provided that the payment of the IDR Fee and the hypothetical distributions to holders of its Common Units set forth below shall be calculated on the basis of the Base Unit Amount:

7.4.3.1    First, XPLR Operating LP will pay fifteen percent (15%) of any Adjusted Available Cash to the Manager and will be deemed to distribute eighty-five percent (85%) to holders of its Common Units until the aggregate amount so paid and deemed to be distributed pursuant to this Section 7.4.3.1 with respect to such Quarter is equal to the First Incentive Tier Amount;

7.4.3.2    Second, XPLR Operating LP will pay twenty-five percent (25%) of any remaining Adjusted Available Cash to the Manager and will be deemed to distribute seventy-five percent (75%) to holders of its Common Units until the aggregate amount so paid and deemed to be distributed pursuant to this Section 7.4.3.2 with respect to such Quarter is equal to the Second Incentive Tier Amount; and

7.4.3.3    Third, XPLR Operating LP will pay fifty percent (50%) of any remaining Adjusted Available Cash to the Manager and will be deemed to distribute fifty percent (50%) to holders of its Common Units;

provided that, in each case, the IDR Fee for such quarter shall be paid as contemplated by this Section 7.4.3 until (x) the aggregate deemed per Common Unit distribution to holders of its Common Units pursuant to this Section 7.4.3 equals (y) the per Common Unit distribution declared by XPLR Operating LP to holders of its Common Units in accordance with the Partnership Agreement for the applicable Quarter; provided further that the aggregate IDR Fee payable for such quarter pursuant to this Section 7.4.3 shall in no event exceed $14,039,546.64.

7.4.4    If the Minimum Quarterly Distribution is adjusted in accordance with Section 6.6 of the Partnership Agreement, the Maximum Incentive Threshold, the Base Target Quarterly Distribution, the First Target Quarterly Distribution, the Second Target Quarterly Distribution and the Third Target Quarterly Distribution will each be adjusted correspondingly in the same proportion as the amount by which the Minimum Quarterly Distribution is so adjusted relative to the Minimum Quarterly Distribution prior to such adjustment.

7.4.5    If the Minimum Quarterly Distribution has been reduced to zero pursuant to Section 6.6 of the Partnership Agreement and the Base Target Quarterly Distribution, the First Target Quarterly Distribution, the Second Target Quarterly Distribution and the Third Target Quarterly Distribution have also been reduced to zero pursuant to Section 7.4.4, the IDR Fee will be payable solely in accordance with Section 7.4.3.3 in respect of Adjusted Available Cash that is deemed to be Operating Surplus under the Partnership Agreement. For the purposes of any IDR Fee payable pursuant to this Section 7.4.5 and in accordance with Section 7.4.3.3 as described in the immediately

preceding sentence, the final two provisos of Section 7.4.3 shall not apply to the calculation of such IDR Fee.

7.4.6    Upon the dissolution of XPLR Operating LP in accordance with Article XII of the Partnership Agreement, to the extent that XPLR Operating LP receives cash in excess of that required to discharge liabilities as provided in Section 12.4 of the Partnership Agreement, XPLR Operating LP will not pay the IDR Fee to the Manager on any such excess.

7.5.1    The Manager acknowledges and agrees that the Service Recipients will not be required to reimburse any member of the Manager Group for the salaries and other compensation of the management, personnel or support staff of the Manager Group who provide the Services to such Service Recipients or overhead for such persons, except as otherwise provided by Section 7.5.2.10.

7.5.2    XPLR Operating LP, on behalf of the Service Recipients, shall reimburse the Manager for all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses, including those of any third party (other than those contemplated by Section 7.5.1 hereof (except as otherwise provided by Section 7.5.2.10)) (“Expenses”), incurred by the Manager or any member of the Manager Group in connection with the provision of the Services, provided that, if any Expenses arise from Services that are shared with the Manager or any member of the Manager Group, the Manager shall in good faith determine the portion of Expenses allocable to members of the Manager Group. Expenses are expected to include, among other things:

7.5.2.1    Public Company Expenses;

7.5.2.2    fees, costs and expenses relating to any debt or equity financing (including the arrangement thereof) for any member of the XPLR Group;

7.5.2.3    out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with operation and maintenance services to the extent not otherwise provided in the Operating and Administrative Agreements;

7.5.2.5    amounts paid by the relevant member of the Manager Group under indemnification, contribution or similar arrangements;

7.5.2.6    fees, costs and expenses relating to financial reporting, regulatory filings, investor relations and similar activities and the fees, costs and expenses of agents, advisors, consultants and other Persons who provide Services to or on behalf of a Service Recipient;

7.5.2.7    any other fees, costs and expenses incurred by any member of the Manager Group that are reasonably necessary for the performance by the Manager of its duties and functions under this Agreement;

7.5.2.8    fees, expenses and costs incurred in connection with the investigation, acquisition, holding or disposal of any asset or business (including with respect to any Acquired Assets) that is made or that is proposed to be made by the Service Recipients, provided that, where the acquisition or proposed acquisition involves an investment that is made alongside one or more other Persons (including NextEra Energy, Inc. and its Affiliates (other than members of the XPLR Group)), the Manager shall allocate such fees, expenses and costs in proportion to the notional amount of the investment made (or that would have been made in the case of an unconsummated acquisition) among members of the XPLR Group and such other Persons;

7.5.2.9    premiums, deductibles and other costs, fees and expenses for insurance policies covering assets of the Service Recipients and other members of the XPLR Group, together with other applicable insurance in respect of the members of the XPLR Group against other risks; and

7.5.2.10    to the extent the Manager determines in good faith that additional operational staff is needed for the proper provision of the Services to the Service Recipients after the date hereof, the salaries and other compensation of such staff.

Without limiting Section 7.5 above, XPLR Operating LP, on behalf of the Service Recipients, shall pay or reimburse the relevant member of the Manager Group for all sales taxes, use taxes, value added taxes, withholding taxes or other similar taxes, customs duties or other governmental charges (“Governmental Charges”) that are levied or imposed by any Governmental Authority by reason of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated by this Agreement, or the fees or other amounts payable hereunder or thereunder, except for any income taxes, corporate taxes, capital gains taxes or other similar taxes payable by any member of the Manager Group. Any failure by the Manager Group to collect monies on account of these Governmental Charges shall not constitute a waiver of the right to do so.

Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, the Manager shall, or shall cause the other Service Providers to, prepare statements (each, an “Expense Statement”) documenting the Expenses and Governmental Charges incurred or paid during such calendar month that are to be reimbursed pursuant to this Article 7 and shall deliver such statements to XPLR Operating LP and the relevant Service Recipient, provided that, if the Manager fails to include Expenses and Governmental Charges for any calendar month in the Expense Statement for such month, then the Manager shall be entitled to include such Expenses and Governmental Charges in a subsequent Expense Statement. All Expenses and Governmental Charges reimbursable pursuant to

this Article 7 shall be reimbursed by XPLR Operating LP no later than the date that is thirty (30) days after receipt of an Expense Statement. The provisions of this Section 7.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8.1.1    it is validly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware;

8.1.6    no authorization, consent or approval of, or filing with or notice to, any Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by it of this Agreement; and

8.1.7    this Agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other laws of general application limiting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally and (b) general principles of equity, including standards of materiality, good faith, fair dealing and reasonableness, equitable defenses and limits as to the availability of equitable remedies, whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

Each of the XPLR Parties hereby represents and warrants to the Manager that:

8.2.1    it (and, if applicable, its managing member or general partner) is validly organized and existing under the Laws governing its formation and organization;

8.2.2    it, or the relevant Service Recipient, holds such Permits necessary to own and operate the projects and entities that it directly or indirectly owns or operates from time to time and is not aware of any reason why such Permits might no longer be valid;

9.1.1    The XPLR Parties hereby jointly and severally agree, to the fullest extent

9.1.2    permitted by applicable Laws, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and to cause each other Service Recipient to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, each member of the Manager Group and any directors, officers, agents, members, partners, stockholders and employees and other

representatives of each member of the Manager Group (each, a “Manager Indemnified Party”) from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses (including legal fees) (“Liabilities”) incurred by them or threatened in connection with any and all actions, suits, investigations, proceedings or claims of any kind whatsoever, whether arising under statute or action of a Governmental Authority or otherwise or in connection with the business, investments and activities of the Service Recipients or in respect of or arising from this Agreement or the Services provided hereunder (“Claims”), including any Claims arising on account of the Governmental Charges contemplated by Section 7.6 hereof, provided that no Manager Indemnified Party shall be so indemnified with respect to any Claim to the extent that such Claim is finally determined by a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Manager Indemnified Party’s bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct or recklessness or, in the case of a criminal matter, conduct undertaken with actual knowledge that the conduct was unlawful.

9.1.3    If any action, suit, investigation, proceeding or claim is made or brought by any third party with respect to which a Service Recipient is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the Manager Indemnified Party will have the right to employ its own counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, as well as the reasonable costs (excluding an amount reimbursed to such Manager Indemnified Party for the time spent in connection therewith) and out-of-pocket expense incurred in connection therewith, shall be paid by or on behalf of the XPLR Parties as incurred, but shall be subject to recoupment by the XPLR Parties if ultimately they are not liable to pay indemnification hereunder.

9.1.4    The Manager shall, or shall cause the applicable Manager Indemnified Party to, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any Third Party Claim, notify the XPLR Parties in writing of the commencement of such Third Party Claim (provided that any unintentional failure to provide any such notice will not prejudice the right of any such Manager Indemnified Party hereunder) and, throughout the course of such Third Party Claim, such Manager Indemnified Party will use its reasonable best efforts to provide copies of all relevant documentation to the XPLR Parties, to keep the XPLR Parties apprised of the progress thereof and to discuss with the XPLR Parties all significant actions proposed.

9.1.5    The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that the right to indemnity provided in this Section 9.1 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other liability which the XPLR Parties or other Service Recipients in any particular case may have or of any other right to indemnity or contribution which any Manager Indemnified Party may have by statute or otherwise at law.

9.1.6    The indemnity provided in this Section 9.1 shall survive the completion of Services rendered under, or any termination or purported termination of, this Agreement.

9.2    Limitation of Liability

9.2.1    Neither the Manager nor any other member of the Manager Group assumes any responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the Services in good faith, and no member of the Manager Group will be responsible for any action of a Service Recipient (including its Governing Body) in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendations of the relevant Service Provider.

9.2.2    No Manager Indemnified Party will be liable to a Service Recipient, a Service Recipient’s Governing Body (including, for greater certainty, a director or officer of a Service Recipient or another individual with similar function or capacity) or any security holder or partner of a Service Recipient for any Liabilities that may occur as a result of any acts or omissions by the Manager Indemnified Party pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement.

9.2.3    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the maximum amount of the aggregate liability of the Manager Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement will be equal to the amounts of Management Fees previously paid in respect of Services pursuant to this Agreement in the most recent calendar year by the Service Recipients pursuant to Article 7 (but will be no less than four million U.S. dollars ($4,000,000).

9.2.4    For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall survive the completion of the Services rendered under, or any termination or purported termination of, this Agreement.

This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until January 1, 2068 and shall be automatically renewed for each successive five-year period thereafter unless, no later than ninety (90) days prior to the date of any such renewal, XPLR Operating LP or the Manager provides written notice to the other that it does not wish for this Agreement to be renewed, provided that XPLR Operating LP shall not be permitted to provide any such notice that it does not wish for this Agreement to be renewed without the prior written consent of the Manager if, at the time this Agreement would terminate following the provision of such notice, any of the Operating and Administrative Agreements would remain in effect, provided further that this Agreement may be earlier terminated in accordance with Section 10.2 or Section 10.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, Section 7.3, Section 7.4 and Article 9 (in respect of the Manager) shall remain in full force and effect until the later of (a) the termination of this entire Agreement in accordance with Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 and (b) the dissolution of XPLR Operating LP in accordance with Section 12.1 of the Partnership Agreement.

10.2.1    XPLR Operating LP on behalf of the Service Recipients may, subject to Section 10.2.2, terminate this Agreement effective upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of termination to the Manager without payment of any termination fee if:

10.2.1.1    the Manager defaults in the performance or observance of any material term, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement in a manner that results in material harm to the Service Recipients and such default continues for a period of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof is given to the Manager specifying such default and requesting that the same be remedied in such ninety (90) day period;

10.2.1.2    the Manager engages in any act of fraud, misappropriation of funds or embezzlement against any Service Recipient that results in material harm to the Service Recipients;

10.2.1.4    the Manager makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, institutes proceedings to be adjudicated voluntarily bankrupt, consents to the filing of a petition of bankruptcy against it, is adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction as being bankrupt or insolvent, seeks reorganization under any bankruptcy law or consents to the filing of a petition seeking such reorganization or has a decree entered against it by a court of competent jurisdiction appointing a receiver liquidator, trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or in insolvency; or

10.2.1.5    the board of directors of XPLR determines in good faith that the Manager has intentionally or willfully defaulted in the performance of its obligations under Section 3.4.2, such default has caused, or would reasonably be expected to cause, material harm to XPLR and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and such default continues for a period of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof is given to the Manager specifying such default and requesting that the same be remedied in such ninety (90) day period.

10.2.2    This Agreement may only be terminated pursuant to Section 10.2.1 above by XPLR Operating LP with the prior written approval of the board of directors of XPLR and the Conflicts Committee.

10.2.3    This Agreement may not be terminated by any of the XPLR Parties due solely to the poor performance or underperformance of any of its Subsidiaries or the Business or any investment made by any member of the XPLR Group on the recommendation of any member of the Manager Group or any change of control of the Manager.

The Manager may terminate this Agreement without payment of any termination fee, effective one hundred eighty (180) days after written notice of termination has been given to the XPLR Parties:

10.3.1    if any XPLR Party defaults in the performance or observance of any material term, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement in a manner that results in material harm to any member of the Manager Group and such default continues for a period of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof specifying such default and requesting that the same be remedied in such ninety (90) day period;

10.3.2    if, with respect to any Service Recipient and its Subsidiaries (but solely with respect to such Service Recipient and its Subsidiaries), such Service Recipient makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, institutes proceedings to be adjudicated voluntarily bankrupt, consents to the filing of a petition of bankruptcy against it, is adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction as being bankrupt or insolvent, seeks reorganization under any bankruptcy law or consents to the filing of a petition seeking such reorganization or has a decree entered against it by a court of competent jurisdiction appointing a receiver liquidator, trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or in insolvency; or

10.3.3    if neither NextEra Energy, Inc. nor any of its controlled Affiliates Controls each of XPLR and XPLR Operating LP (without regard to the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement).

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Article 10, such termination will be without any further liability or obligation of any party hereto, except for any rights or obligations that accrued prior to such termination and except as provided in Section 6.4, Section 7.3, Article 9 and this Article 10.

10.5.1    From and after the effective date of the termination of this Agreement, the Manager shall not be entitled to receive the Management Fee for further Services under this Agreement, but will be paid all compensation and reimbursed for all Expenses and Governmental Charges accruing up to and including the date of termination.

10.5.2    Upon any termination of this Agreement, the Manager shall forthwith:

10.5.2.1    deliver to the Service Recipients a full accounting covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Service Recipients; and

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment of, supplement to or waiver of this Agreement will be binding unless the amendment, supplement or waiver is executed in writing by each party to be bound thereby, provided, however, that XPLR Operating LP may not, without the prior approval of the Conflicts Committee, agree to any amendment of, supplement to or waiver of this Agreement that, in the determination of the board of directors of XPLR, would be materially adverse to the holders of XPLR Common Units.

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. A party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

11.3.1 This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Manager without the prior written consent of the board of directors of XPLR (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), except (a) pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, (b) in the case of assignment to a Person that is the Manager’s successor by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or other similar transaction, in which case the successor shall be bound under this Agreement and by the terms of the assignment in the same manner as the Manager is bound under this Agreement, or (c) to an Affiliate of the Manager or a Person that, in the reasonable and good faith determination of the board of directors of XPLR and the Conflicts Committee, is an experienced and reputable manager, in which case the Affiliate or assignee shall be bound under this Agreement and by the terms of the assignment in the same manner as the Manager is bound under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude (i) any pledge, hypothecation or other transfer or assignment of the Manager’s rights, title and interest under this Agreement, including any amounts payable to the Manager under this Agreement, to a bona fide Financing Party as security for debt financing to the Manager or any other member of the Manager Group, or (ii) the assignment of such rights, title and interest under this Agreement upon exercise of remedies by a Financing Party following a default by the Manager or any other member of the Manager Group under financing agreements entered into with the Financing Parties.

11.3.2    This Agreement shall not be assigned by any of the Service Recipients without the prior written consent of the Manager, except in the case of assignment by any such Service Recipient to a Person that is its successor by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, in which case the successor shall be bound under this Agreement and by the terms of the assignment in the same manner as such Service Recipient is bound under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude (i) any pledge, hypothecation or other transfer or assignment of any XPLR Party’s rights, title and interest under this Agreement, including any amounts payable to such XPLR Party or any other member of the XPLR Group under this Agreement, to a bona fide Financing Party as security for debt financing to and interest under

this Agreement upon exercise of remedies by a Financing Party following a default by such XPLR Party or any other member of the XPLR Group under financing agreements entered into with the Financing Parties.

11.3.3    Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 11.3.1 and Section 11.3.2, the Manager may assign its right to receive the IDR Fee hereunder, in whole or in part, to any person without the consent of any other party hereto.

11.3.4    Any purported assignment of this Agreement in violation of this Article 11 shall be null and void.

Any amount payable by any XPLR Party to any member of the Manager Group hereunder that is not remitted when so due will remain due (whether on demand or otherwise), and interest will accrue on such overdue amounts (both before and after judgment) at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate.

Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a declaration of invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties waive any provision of law that renders any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect. The parties will engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision that is declared invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable provision that it replaces.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. There are no warranties, conditions, or representations (including any that may be implied by statute), and there are no agreements in connection with such subject matter, except as specifically set forth or referred to in this Agreement. No reliance is placed on any warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact made prior to, contemporaneously with, or after entering into, this Agreement by any party to this Agreement or its directors, officers, employees or agents, to any other party to this Agreement or its directors, officers, employees or agents, except to the extent that the same has been reduced to writing and included as a term of this Agreement, and none of the parties to this Agreement has been induced to enter into this Agreement by reason of any such warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact. Accordingly, there will be no liability, either in tort or in contract, assessed in relation to any such warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact, except to the extent contemplated above.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement should be construed or interpreted as an amendment, modification or termination of, or conflict with, any of the Operating and

Administrative Agreements. Each such agreement, and all its terms, including payments to be made thereunder, shall survive the entry into this Agreement and shall terminate in accordance with its terms.
