To the extent the License of any Easement is not capable of being granted without the consent or waiver of the other party thereto or any third party (including any Governmental Authority) and such consent or waiver is not obtained at or prior to the Closing, or if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or a violation of any Legal Requirement or order, this Agreement shall not constitute a granting of the License or an attempted granting of the License for such Easement.

Section 10.6 Matters Involving Third Parties.
(a) If an Indemnified Party is subject to any Claim by a third party with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder (a Third Party Claim), then the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party with reasonable promptness after receiving notice of such Claim; provided, however, that (i) no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless, and then solely to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby; and (ii) any such notice might be delivered within the time periods set forth in Section 10.1 above.
(b) If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any and all Losses (subject to Section 10.4) that may result from a Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon notice to the Indemnified Party within 15 days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within the time period and otherwise in accordance with the first sentence of this Section, the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (ii) the named parties to the Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party may present such counsel with a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Partys expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Partys possession or under the Indemnified Partys control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) involves a finding or admission of wrongdoing, (ii) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (iii) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder.
27
Section 10.7 Certain Additional Provisions Relating to Indemnification.
(a) After the Closing, except for in the case of fraud, the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 10 shall constitute the sole and exclusive recourse and remedy available to the parties hereto with respect to the breach of this Agreement.
(b) All payments by an Indemnifying Party under this Article 10 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all foreign, federal, state and local income Tax purposes.

THE SYSTEM
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
| Seven (7) Fresh Water Ponds |
The Redtail Fresh Water Storage and Distribution System is a network of 7 interconnected fresh water storage ponds, with a total storage capacity of 2.46 MM BBLs. There are two additional storage ponds (Ponds E and G) that have not been built, but are permitted for an additional 1.5 MM BBLs of storage. The pond sizes vary between 100,000 to 656,000 bbls capacity depending on the pond. Please reference Schedule 2.1(e) for a more detailed description of each pond.
Pond A: | Active | |
Pond B: | Active | |
Pond C: | Active | |
Pond D: | Active | |
Pond F: | Active | |
Pond H: | Active | |
Pond I: | Active |
| Fresh Water Pipeline System |
There are interconnecting HDPE SDR 11 fresh water pipelines ranging from 4-inch to 18-inch in nominal diameter. The MAOP of HDPE SDR 11 in fresh water service is 200 psig with a 1.6X safety factor. These lines are buried at an approximate depth of 5 to 6 ft. to top of pipe.
Pipeline system incorporates air-removal valves located at certain high points in the pipeline system. Air-valves prevent the lines from becoming air-locked and/or flow capacity being restricted due to the presence of air pockets.
Additionally, there are strategically placed surface hydrants located in the interconnecting pipeline right-of-ways so that flatline (temporary surface lines), with or without booster pumps, can be connected and run to the pads where frac jobs are being pumped.
Fresh Water Pipelines

18 | 6.4 miles | HDPE SDR 11 | ||||||
16 | 10.7 miles | HDPE SDR 11 | ||||||
12 | 13.9 miles | HDPE SDR 11 | ||||||
8 | 140 feet | HDPE SDR 11 | ||||||
6 | 51 feet | HDPE SDR 11 | ||||||
4 | 28 feet | HDPE SDR 11 |
| Fresh Water Pump Stations |
There are permanent pumping stations either existing or under construction at four of the ponds. These permanent pumping stations contain pumps with electric motor drivers. Please reference Schedule 5.7 for a more detailed breakdown and status of the electric power at these sites.
These pump stations have the ability to completely pump down the pond levels with minimum piping exposed to freezing conditions.
Pond A, Pond B, Pond H, Pond I are building enclosed pump stations connected to the ponds via concrete wet wells or dry wells, depending on the specific pond in question. The pumping stations are designed with pressurized bladder surge vessels to prevent water hammer in the pipeline system.
Pond C, Pond D, Pond F pumps stations are singe unit open-air pump stations.
Razor-22-North Booster and Razor-28-South Booster pump stations are singe unit open-air pump stations for the purpose of increasing pipeline capacity.

NOTE: 300HP pumps and associated VFD are leased.
| Automation / SCADA |
The fresh water system is remotely monitored and controlled via HMI terminal running Wonderware software accessing the (5) PLCs and associated remote I/O panels. All mechanical systems and valves can be operated remotely. All communications are routed through the Sellers fiber optic network. A valve control PLC is located in the Redtail radio tower building. This PLC is utilized to control valves and 300HP pumps.
PRODUCED WATER SYSTEM
| Produced Water Pipeline System |
The produced water pipeline system ranges from 2-inch to 6-inch in nominal diameter and a description is included below. The MAOP of the produced water pipeline system is 740 psig. The main pipeline system is constructed of flexible steel with laterals constructed of API 5L Carbon Steel. These lines are buried at an approximate depth of 5 feet to 6 feet to top of pipe.
