pay, perform and discharge all of the South Texas Asset Liabilities, to the full extent that
Enterprise GC has been heretofore or would have been in the future obligated to pay, perform and
discharge the South Texas Asset Liabilities were it not for such contribution and the execution and
delivery of this Agreement; provided, however, that said assumption and agreement to duly and
timely pay, perform and discharge the South Texas Asset Liabilities shall not (a) increase the
obligation of STX NGL with respect to the South Texas Asset Liabilities beyond that of Enterprise
GC, (b) waive any valid defense that was available to Enterprise GC with respect to the South Texas
Asset Liabilities or (c) enlarge any rights or remedies of any third party under any of the South

execute an amendment to the limited liability company agreement of STX NGL or such other agreements
as necessary to evidence the issuance of the STX NGL membership interest to Enterprise GC as
consideration for the contributions made
pursuant to Section 2.1 and the distributions of such membership interests pursuant to

ARTICLE V
FURTHER ASSURANCES
FURTHER ASSURANCES
5.1 Further Assurances. From time to time after the date hereof, and without any further consideration, the Parties
agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver all such additional deeds, assignments, bills of sale,
conveyances, instruments, notices, releases, acquittances and other documents, and will do all such
other acts and things, all in accordance with applicable Law, as may be necessary or appropriate
(a) more fully to assure that STX NGL own all of the properties, rights, titles, interests,
estates, remedies, powers and privileges granted by this Agreement, or which are intended to be so
granted, (b) more fully and effectively to vest in STX NGL and their respective successors and
assigns beneficial and record title to the interests contributed and assigned by this Agreement or
intended so to be and (c) to more fully and effectively carry out the purposes and intent of this
Agreement.
5.2 Other Assurances. From time to time after the date hereof, and without any further consideration, each of the
Parties shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such additional instruments, notices and other
documents, and will do all such other acts and things, all in accordance with applicable Law, as
may be necessary or appropriate to more fully and effectively carry out the purposes and intent of
this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the
Parties have used their good faith efforts to attempt to identify all of the assets being
contributed to STX NGL as required in connection with this Agreement. However, due to the age of
some of those assets and the difficulties in locating appropriate data with
respect to some of the assets it is possible that assets intended to be contributed to STX NGL
were not identified and therefore are not included in the assets contributed to STX NGL. It is the
express intent of the Parties that STX NGL own all assets necessary to operate the assets that are
identified in this Agreement and in the Registration Statement. To the extent any assets were not
identified but are necessary to the operation of assets that were identified, then the intent of
the Parties is that all such unidentified assets are intended to be conveyed to STX NGL. To the
extent such assets are identified at a later date, the Parties shall take the appropriate actions
required in order to convey all such assets to STX NGL. Likewise, to the extent that assets are
identified at a later date that were not intended by the parties to be conveyed as reflected in the
Registration Statement, the Parties shall take the appropriate actions required in order to convey
all such assets to the appropriate party.

ARTICLE VI
POWER OF ATTORNEY
POWER OF ATTORNEY
6.1 Enterprise GC. Enterprise GC hereby constitutes and appoints STX NGL and its successors and assigns, its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution for it and in its name, place and
stead or otherwise on behalf of Enterprise GC and its successors and assigns, and for the benefit
of STX NGL and its successors and assigns, to demand and receive from time to time the South Texas
Assets and to execute in the name of Enterprise GC and its successors and assigns, instruments of
conveyance, instruments of further assurance and to give receipts and releases in respect of the

ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Order of Completion of Transactions. The transactions provided for in Article II and Article III of this Agreement shall be
completed on the Effective Date in the following order:
First, the transactions provided for in Article II shall be completed in the order set
forth therein; and
Second, the transactions provided for in Article III shall be completed in the order
set forth therein.
7.2 Consents; Restriction on Assignment. If there are prohibitions against or conditions to the contribution and conveyance of one or
more of the South Texas Assets without the prior written consent of third parties, including,
without limitation, governmental agencies (other than consents of a ministerial nature which are
normally granted in the ordinary course of business), which if not satisfied would result in a
breach of such prohibitions or conditions or would give an outside party the right to terminate
rights of STX NGL to whom the applicable South Texas Assets were intended to be conveyed with
respect to such portion of the South Texas Assets (herein called a “Restriction”), then any
provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the transfer of title to or
interest in each such portion of the South Texas Assets (herein called the “Restriction
Asset”) pursuant to this Agreement shall not become effective unless and until such Restriction
is satisfied, waived or no longer applies. When and if such a Restriction is so satisfied, waived
or no longer applies, to the extent permitted by
- 8 -
applicable Law and any applicable contractual
provisions, the assignment of the Restriction Asset subject thereto shall become effective
automatically as of the Effective Time, without further action on the part of any Party. Each of
the applicable Parties that were involved with the conveyance of a Restriction Asset agree to use
their reasonable best efforts to obtain on a timely basis satisfaction of any Restriction
applicable to any Restriction Asset conveyed by or acquired by any of them. The description of any
portion of the South Texas Assets as a “Restriction Asset” shall not be construed as an admission
that any Restriction exists with respect to the transfer of such portion of the South Texas Assets.
In the event that any Restriction Asset exists, the applicable Party agrees to continue to hold
such Restriction Asset in trust for the exclusive benefit of the applicable Party to whom such
Restriction Asset was intended to be conveyed and to otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to
provide such other Party with the benefits thereof, and the party holding such Restriction Asset
will enter into other agreements, or take such other action as it may deem necessary, in order to
ensure that the applicable Party to whom such Restriction Asset was intended to be conveyed has the
assets and concomitant rights necessary to enable the applicable Party to operate such Restriction
Asset in all material respects as it was operated prior to the Effective Time.
7.3 Costs. STX NGL shall pay all sales, use and similar taxes arising out of the contributions,
conveyances and deliveries to be made hereunder, and shall pay all documentary, filing, recording,
transfer, deed, and conveyance taxes and fees required in connection therewith. In addition, STX
NGL shall be responsible for all costs, liabilities and expenses (including court costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the satisfaction or waiver of any
Restriction pursuant to Section 7.2 to the extent such Restriction was disclosed to STX NGL
on or before the Effective Date.
7.4 Headings; References; Interpretation. All Article and Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be
deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this
Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this
Agreement. All references herein to Articles and Sections shall, unless the context requires a
different construction, be deemed to be references to the Articles and Sections of this Agreement,
respectively, and all such Schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein and made a part
hereof for all purposes. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the
masculine, feminine or neuter gender, shall include all other genders, and the singular shall
include the plural and vice versa. The use herein of the word “including” following any general
statement, term or matter shall not be construed to limit such statement, term or matter to the
specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters,
whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation,” “but not limited to,” or words
of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other
items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general
statement, term or matter.
7.5 Successors and Assigns. The Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns.
7.6 No Third Party Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to bind the Parties hereto as to each other
and are not intended to and do not create rights in any other
- 9 -
person or confer upon any other
person any benefits, rights or remedies and no person is or is intended to be a third party
beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
7.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which together shall
constitute one agreement binding on the parties hereto.
7.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State
of Texas applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly within such state without giving
effect to conflict of law principles thereof, except to the extent that it is mandatory that the
Law of some other jurisdiction, wherein the interests are located, shall apply.
7.9 Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held by any court of competent jurisdiction
to contravene, or to be invalid under, the Laws of any political body having jurisdiction over the
subject matter hereof, such contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Agreement.
Instead, this Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the particular provision or
provisions held to be invalid, and an equitable adjustment shall be made and necessary provision
added so as to give effect to the intention of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement at the
time of execution of this Agreement.
7.10 Deed; Xxxx of Sale; Assignment. To the extent required and permitted by applicable Law, this Agreement shall also constitute
a “deed,” “xxxx of sale” or “assignment” of the South Texas Assets.
7.11 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by the written agreement of
all the Parties hereto and affected thereby.
7.12 Integration. This Agreement and the instruments referenced herein supersede all previous understandings
or agreements among the Parties, whether oral or written, with respect to its subject matter. This
Agreement and such instruments contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof. No understanding, representation, promise or agreement, whether
oral or written, is intended to be or shall be included in or form part of this Agreement unless it
is contained in a written amendment hereto executed by the Parties hereto after the date of this
Agreement.
