ME20210127 1 CustomerlD:C000092402 jburroug ME PL PSF 011615 2.03. GRANTEE HAS INSPECTED THE PHYSICAL AND TOPOGRAPHIC CONDITION OF THE PREMISES AND ACCEPTS THE SAME"AS IS",IN ITS EXISTING PHYSICAL AND TOPOGRAPHIC CONDITION. THE GRANTOR DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE, AND ANY OTHER WARRANTY WHATSOEVER NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE GRANTOR AND GRANTEE HEREBY AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE USE OF THE TERM "GRANT" IN NO WAY IMPLIES THAT THIS EASEMENT IS FREE OF LIENS, ENCUMBRANCES AND/OR PRIOR RIGHTS. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN TO GRANTEE THAT ANY PRIOR GRANT AND/OR ENCUMBRANCE MAY BE OF RECORD,AND GRANTEE TAKES SUBJECT TO ANY SUCH PRIOR GRANT AND/OR ENCUMBRANCE.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE EXPIRATION OR EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS EASEMENT. ARTICLE III. TERM 3.01. This Agreement is for a period of ten (10)years, beginning on September 1, 2021, and ending on August 31, 2031, unless renewed, amended, or sooner terminated as authorized by law or as set forth herein. 3.02. Provided that Grantee has complied with all provisions of this Agreement,Grantee shall have the right to extend and renew this Agreement pursuant to 31 TAC §13.17(c) and(d) for an additional like term based on the then current rate schedule and on the terms and conditions provided hereunder, by taking the following actions: (i) providing written notice to the GRANTOR of Grantee's intent to renew the Agreement not less than ninety (90)days prior to expiration of the term of this Agreement; and (ii) completing and submit to the GRANTOR for approval, an application for renewal within thirty (30) days following the notice provided in Section 3.02(i); and (iii) paying the applicable renewal fee,pursuant to the rate schedule in effect at the time of renewal; and (iv) providing documentation showing the current location of the Improvements. This documentation shall include spatial coordinates sufficient for determining that the pipeline(s) lie within the approved Premises. Such information may be in the form provided to the U.S. Department of Transportation, provided that such documentation includes the current location and spatial coordinates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that the pipeline has been in place for at least twenty(20)years(an "older pipeline"), Grantee may, in lieu of providing such actual dimensions and spatial coordinates,satisfy the requirements of this subsection (iv) by providing a certified written statement by a Professional Engineer which states that the engineer, despite having employed best efforts to do so, can not ascertain the burial depth and/or location coordinates of such existing pipeline from Grantee's existing records and documentation. Any such certified statement shall also include any documentation in Grantee's possession relating to either the actual dimensions or spatial coordinates of the Improvements. If Grantee,at any time,later discovers or determines the actual burial depth and/or location coordinates of an older pipeline,Grantee agrees to submit such documentation to GRANTOR. If either GRANTOR or Grantee determine that an older pipeline is not actually located within the right of way described in this Agreement, both GRANTOR and Grantee will enter into an amendment to this Agreement to correct the right of way description provided such right of way is located on State-owned land. In any event, Grantee will indemnify GRANTOR pursuant to Section 8.01 of this Agreement even if some or all of the Improvements are not located on State-owned land. 3.03. In the event that Grantee shall fail to comply with the requirements of Section 3.02, Grantee shall be in default hereunder; however, the Easement shall not terminate until GRANTOR provides notice of such failure and allows a period of thirty (30) days for Grantee to cure such failure and default. Grantee's failure to comply with Section 3.02, even if subsequently cured to GRANTOR's satisfaction,shall be deemed a forfeiture of any right Grantee may have to renew the Agreement. GRANTOR may require (i)the full then-current fee as calculated for a new easement, or, (ii) ME20210127 2 CustomerlD:0000092402 jburroug ME PL PSF 011615 the applicable renewal fee pursuant to the rate schedule in effect at the time of renewal, plus an administrative penalty as determined by GRANTOR. ARTICLE IV. CONSIDERATION AND TAXES 4.01. A. As consideration(Consideration)for the granting,or if applicable,renewal of this easement,Grantee agrees to pay the GRANTOR (payable to the Commissioner of the General Land Office at Austin, Texas) the sum of One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000.00), due and payable upon the execution of this Agreement. B. Past due Consideration and other past due payments shall bear interest as provided in TEX. NAT. RES. CODE Section 51.301, as amended from time to time. Failure of Grantee to make a payment on or before the date the same becomes due shall be deemed an act of default and, at the GRANTOR's option,cause all payments to become due and payable immediately; provided, however, GRANTOR shall give Grantee notice of such default and allow a period of thirty (30)days within which to cure the default before exercising such option to accelerate such payments. 4.02. In addition to the above,Grantee shall pay and discharge any and all taxes,general and special assessments, and other charges which during the term of this Agreement may be levied on or assessed against Grantee's interest in the Premises or on the Improvements constructed thereon. 4.03.

Grantee shall not change (i) the operation of the pipeline in any material respect or(ii)the category of products therein,without GRANTOR's written permission, such permission not to be unreasonably withheld. It shall not be unreasonable for GRANTOR to withhold its consent for reasons that include,but are not limited to, Grantee's request for: a change in the category of products to be transported that is more "sour" (with reference to hydrogen sulfide content), or that is more volatile, than the original product category to be transported as contemplated by the Agreement; or, a change to a category of products that includes any non-hydrocarbon substances. Also, it shall not be unreasonable for GRANTOR to(a)condition its consent on Grantee procuring and providing proof to GRANTOR of adequate insurance to protect the Premises and (b) charge fees for(i) additional pipelines, and (ii) changes in use operation, including but not limited to, a use separate and apart from the original use contemplated by the Agreement, e.g. fiber optics and reverse flow. GRANTOR agrees to grant or deny such permission within thirty (30) days following Grantee's request for a category use change, provided such request includes all information necessary for GRANTOR to make an informed decision. 5.02. A. The GRANTOR and Grantee hereby acknowledge and agree that each shall have reciprocal rights of ingress and egress to and from the Premises across contiguous or adjacent Permanent School Fund land or land owned by Grantee, provided in the exercise of this right the GRANTOR and Grantee agree not to unreasonably interfere with the other party's (or that party's agents, assignees, or designees) use of its property. At its sole cost, risk, and expense, Grantee shall have the right of ingress and egress for the purposes authorized by Section 5.01 and such right is not granted for any other purpose. Grantee and the GRANTOR mutually agree to coordinate the use of contiguous or adjacent Permanent School Fund land or land owned by Grantee,respectively,and to exercise such right of use only to the extent and in the manner allowed by the respective interests of the parties in the subjects lands and for the length of time necessary to provide access to and from the Premises. Notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary, no easement is created by this Section 5.02; instead, a license is granted to the parties and their respective officers, employees, agents and contractors for the limited purposes set forth herein. ME20210127 3 CustornerlD:C000092402 jburroug ME PL PSF 01 1615 B. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the GRANTOR's right of ingress and egress described in Section 5.02.A. of this Agreement shall be and remain in effect as long as the Improvements and any other structure placed on the Premises by Grantee remain on the Premises,as necessary for the GRANTOR to confirm the removal (in whole or in part) of the Improvements, and/or until any claims of liability against GRANTOR arising in connection with the Improvements are finally resolved. Such right of ingress and egress shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement,but only for so long as the Improvements remain on the Premises and/or any claims for liability have not been finally resolved. 5.03. A. Grantee's use of the Premises is subject to and contingent upon compliance with the following covenants, obligations and conditions(the"Special Conditions"): 1. Grantee is responsible for maintaining all structures authorized under this contract in good repair and safe condition,and in compliance with all existing state and federal regulations governing such work. 2. Grantee is required to perform mitigation and/or pay surface damage fees according to the GRANTOR's policy in effect at the time damages occur for any and all surface damages resulting from actions of Grantee's employees, contractors,and/or agents during the term of this easement. If mitigation is required Grantee will be notified in writing by the GRANTOR of the terms and conditions under which the mitigation shall be conducted. Such mitigation and/or payment of damage fees shall be performed in the manner and within the time frame specified in written notice provided by the GRANTOR to Grantee following said damages. B. Prior to any construction, installation, repair, or other activities on the Premises, Grantee shall provide written notice of all the terms of this Agreement relating to the particular activity to any contractor and/or agent involved in any such activity. On request, Grantee shall send a copy of such notice to the General Land Office, ATTN: Leasing Operations, 1700 North Congress Avenue,Austin,Texas 78701-1495. 5.04. GRANTOR shall have the right to use or to permit the use of any or all of the Premises for any purpose deemed, in GRANTOR's sole discretion, not to be inconsistent with Grantee's easement grant. GRANTOR, its agents, representatives and employees shall have the right to enter upon the Premises at any reasonable time (or any time in case of emergency)for purposes of inspection,repair,and any other purpose necessary to protect GRANTOR's interests therein. Except in the event of an emergency, in which case no notice is required by GRANTOR, if GRANTOR reasonably believes that a repair is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public,the environment,or the value of GRANTOR's property, GRANTOR shall give Grantee reasonable prior written notice of the necessary repair. If GRANTOR gives such notice,and Grantee does not initiate immediate action to pursue to completion such repair with diligence, GRANTOR may, but shall not be obligated to,undertake that repair,all costs of which shall be immediately due and payable by Grantee on GRANTOR's demand. This Section 5.04 is for the sole purpose of providing a mechanism for GRANTOR to respond to a situation in which immediate action is required to protect the State and/or public interest and such immediate action has not been initiated by or on behalf of Grantee. 5.05. Grantee shall not use, or permit the use of the Premises for any illegal purpose.

STATE OF TEXAS Ua ' FIRM REGISTRATION NO. 10108800 SHEET 2 OF 2 Exhibit C Instructions For Preparing Exhibits ME20210127 For the Following General Land Office Applications: Miscellaneous Easements(Pipeline) Maps (or plats) showing the location of proposed and as-built projects on state-owned lands are required as part of the General Land Office (GLO) application process. The following instructions are to be followed when applying for new work (proposed project), or for reporting as-built conditions for a previously approved project, when the activity is a Miscellaneous Easement (Pipeline/Right-of-Way)on state land. The information specified below represents minimum requirements of the GLO; additional information may be requested on a project-by-project basis to facilitate a full evaluation of the proposed activity. The information should be submitted along with the required application form and processing fees. Each map or plat must conform to the specifications contained herein. An application is not considered complete, and processing of the application will not be initiated,until all information requested has been submitted and GLO staff has determined that it is adequate. NOTE: Surveys and survey plats required by other entities,Federal, State, County and/or City, are PERMISSIBLE and USABLE for GLO applications provided they meet the following requirements. IF SUBMITTING SURVEY PLATS DIGITALLY,PLEASE PROVIDE THE INFORMATION IN ONE OF THE FOLLOWING FORMATS: 1. In an ESRI format(i.e. Shape file, EDO,or Geodatabase) 2. AutoDesk Map 6 or earlier version in a DWG format. 3. And Projection Information of the data set submitted. A. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL APPLICATIONS: 1. Each map or plat should be 8-1/2" x 11". 2. A one-inch margin should be left at the top edge of each sheet for binding purposes. 3. Any shading used to identify specific areas must be reproducible by ordinary copy machines. 4. Each map or plat submitted must have a title block identifying,at a minimum: (a)applicant name;(b)applicant address; (c)project name;(d)date of preparation;(e)name of preparer,and(f)project location as follows: (1) if on state-owned uplands, then provide county, survey name (original grantee) and, as applicable, survey or section number,block number,township number,subdivision name,lot or tract number,and abstract number; (2) if on submerged land,then provide county name,waterbody name,and state tract number. 5. The scale for each map or plat must be clearly indicated both digitally and by graphic scale. 6. Vicinity Map -- Exhibit A for each project application must be a Vicinity Map showing the general location of the proposed work. The Vicinity Map must be produced using a U.S.G.S. 7.5-minute topographic map, a Texas Department of Transportation County Road Map, or navigation chart as its base layer. The project location should be indicated by a prominent arrow on the map. An 8 1/2" x 11" Xerox copy from the original Topo, county map, or navigation chart showing the project location is sufficient. It is not necessary to submit the entire Topo or county map, so long as the map is appropriately identified as to the origin of the base information(e.g.,name,and date of base map information used). This is most easily accomplished by copying the legend of the base map and making it part of the Vicinity Map. 7. Project Site Map--Exhibit B for each project application should be a Project Site Map(in Survey Plat format)which provides specific project location information. The Project Site Map should be produced at sufficient scale and detail to enable field inspectors to locate the project on the ground with minimal difficulty. Demographic features such as road numbers, stream names,railroad crossings,corporate city limits,and other prominent locative features should be included on the Project Site Map. The project location should be indicated by a prominent arrow on the map and a North arrow must be provided. Annotation may be included on the map regarding distance of the project from known points (e.g., highway intersections, road stream crossings, etc.). Additional requirements for preparing Project Site Maps are provided in Section B of this document. 8. Detailed Project Plan if available -- Exhibit C for each project application should be a Detailed Project Plan, consisting of an aerial plan-view drawing and a cross-sectional drawing of all proposed or existing structures on state-owned lands at the project site. Page 1 of the Detailed Project Plan should contain,at a minimum: a. Location of the shoreline or banks if the project is on or adjacent to tidally influenced waters or crosses a state-owned river,stream,creek,or bayou. b. The direction of ebb and flow if in or adjacent to tidal waters, or the direction of water flow if the project crosses a river,creek,stream,or bayou. c. A North arrow. d. The location of state tract lines(on tidally influenced lands),survey lines,or property lines,as applicable. e. The location of any marshes, submerged grass flats, oyster reefs, mud or sand flats, or other sensitive natural/cultural resources known to exist in the project area. f. The lines of mean high water and mean low water when applicable. g. The Detailed Project Plan cross-sectional drawing must include notation as to the outside diameter(OD)of all pipelines covered by the easement, and the relationship of the pipeline(s) to any other pipeline(s) in the immediate vicinity. h. The registration, easement, or lease numbers for any structures at the site previously authorized by the GLO (available from GLO field offices upon request). i. Any applicable Corps of Engineers application numbers covering the proposed work, as soon as that application number is available,but,in any event,prior to issuance of the easement. Page 2 of the Detailed Project Plan should contain,as applicable,an explanation of construction methodology,techniques, and equipment that will be used at the site. 9. As-Built Survey -- A survey showing the depth of burial must be furnished for all projects on state-owned tidally influenced lands (Gulf of Mexico,bays, estuaries, etc.), crossings of state-owned rivers/streams/creeks/bayous. The survey shall show plan view only for projects on state-owned upland tracts. Failure to provide this information is,by terms of the state contract,grounds for termination of the easement and removal of the structure from state-owned land. New Pipeline Installations: Each application for installation of a new pipeline must include with the application a profile drawing showing the proposed depth of burial at not less than 36"below the surface. GLO will issue an easement using the proposed ROW and depth of burial information. Following installation of the pipeline, however, the applicant is required by terms of the GLO contract to provide a survey of actual burial depth measurements for that portion of the ROW length occupying state-owned land. The spacing between depth-of-burial measurement points is a function of the length of ROW. If the easement length is less than 500 feet,the depth of cover of the structure and waterway bottom elevation shall be determined at intervals not to exceed 50 feet. If the easement length is greater than 500 feet but less than 5,000 feet the interval between measurement points shall be 100 feet. Easements greater than 5,000 feet in length shall be surveyed at 250-foot intervals. All work shall be performed under the supervision of, and sealed by, a registered professional land surveyor. All submitted drawings must be sealed by the supervising registered public land surveyor. All elevations must be referenced to a common datum (Mean Sea Level, National Geodetic Vertical Datum, Mean Low Water, etc.) and grid coordinates must reference Texas State Plane coordinate System of 1927 or 1983. The accuracy of the waterway bottom and pipeline elevations shall be +/-one-half(.5')foot for the waterway bottom and+/-one-half(0.5')foot for depth of burial less than or equal to 10 feet and +/-fifteen(15%)percent for depth of burial greater than ten(10)feet. Manual probing and electronic means(both active and passive)of survey type shall be acceptable for depth of burial determinations. Existing Pipelines: At time of renewal of a contract for an existing underground pipeline easement, provide the data as required under Section 3.02.(iv)of this easement contract. CERTIFICATION BY A TEXAS REGISTERED PUBLIC LAND SURVEYOR IS REQUIRED ON ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DIRECTIONALLY DRILLED WELL BORE LOGS. 2 B. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS: Maps or Survey Plats to be submitted as the Project Site Map and/or the Detailed Project Plan(see A7 and 8 above)must contain the information described below. Upland survey data should be reported to normal boundary land surveying minimum standards. Offshore or submerged sites shall be located to a specified accuracy of+/-5 feet of any reported location. 1. Projects located on Tidally Influenced State-owned lands (Including the Gulf of Mexico, bay tracts, and the tidally influenced portions of rivers,creeks,streams,and bayous): Coordinates must be provided at the beginning and ending points of the Rights-of-Way (ROWs) centerline, or on the principal point or points of tracts described by other means (directional well bores, etc.). These coordinates must be based on the Texas State Plane Coordinate System of 1927 or 1983. Courses and distances must be specified as either grid or geodetic for all centerlines and perimeter lines, and ties must be made from specific improvements (e.g., well heads, platforms, pilings, etc.) to a corner or corners of the lease or easement tract. All submerged state land tracts crossed by any part of the ROW must be shown and identified, and the points of each ROW crossing of a state-tract boundary identified in the Texas State Plane Coordinate System of 1927 or 1983. The distance between crossings of a state-tract boundary must be indicated in both feet and rods on the plat. As-built plats (and confirmation surveys at time of renewal) must give bearing and distance between angle points along the easement route. In the event no angle points exist along the course of the ROW,the plat shall provide a minimum of one identified point for each 1,000 feet of ROW length. A ROW less than 1,000 feet long but greater than 500 feet in length requires one mid-point to be identified on the survey plat. 2. Projects Across State-owned Upland Property,or the state-owned portion of a river,creek,stream,or bayou above the limit of tidal influence: a.Upland Tract(State Fee Lands): For new project applications, information provided for projects on state-owned upland tracts shall include the beginning and end points of the easement centerline, identified by coordinates on the Texas State Plane Coordinate System of 1927 or 1983, and shall include course and distance of all segments of the proposed easement centerline. Course and distance from one end of the easement to the nearest survey corner or subdivision survey corner shall be included, along with the survey name (original grantee), and as applicable, survey or section number, block number, township number, subdivision name,lot or tract number,and abstract number of all surveys abutting the easement. At completion of construction, or at time of renewal, an as-built plat or confirmation survey (whichever is applicable) must be submitted. This plat must give bearing and distance between angle points along the easement route. In the event no angle points exist along the course of the easement route, the plat shall provide a minimum of one identified point for each 1,000 feet of length. For easement routes, fewer than 1,000 feet long but greater than 500 feet long, one mid-point shall be identified on the survey plat. b.Crossing the State-owned portion of a river,creek,stream,or bayou above the limit of tidal influence. Information provided for projects crossing non-tidal state-owned rivers, creeks, streams, or bayous shall include an identification of the stream or water body by local and any other names known(historic,from topographic or other maps, etc.). In addition,the beginning and end points of the easement centerline, identified by coordinates on the Texas State Plane Coordinate System of 1927 or 1983, and shall include course and distance of all segments of the easement centerline. Course and distance from one end of the easement to the nearest survey corner or subdivision survey corner shall be included, along with a cross section or profile of the crossing between the top of the high banks, survey name (original grantee), and as applicable, survey or section number, block number, township number, subdivision name, lot or tract number,and abstract number of all surveys abutting the easement. 3 FILED AND RECORDED Instrument Number: 2022027701 Recording Fee: 90.00 Number Of Pages: 18 Filing and Recording Date: 04/25/2022 2:58PM I hereby certify that this instrument was FILED on the date and time stamped hereon and RECORDED in the OFFICIAL PUBLIC RECORDS of Galveston County, Texas.
