The Crestwood Member hereby represents and warrants that the Company is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and that, except in connection with (a) its formation and organization, (b) the negotiation and execution of the Prior Agreement, this Agreement, the Marketing Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Jackalope Interest PSA or (c) its ownership interests in Jackalope LLC, the Company has not engaged in any business activities, acquired any assets or incurred any liabilities since its formation on June 4, 2013 under the Act.

3.10 Tag-Along Right.

(a) Following a Conversion, if the Crestwood Member desires to Transfer, or effect or permit an indirect transfer of, all or any portion of its Units in the Company other than to an Affiliate and other than pursuant to an Excluded Indirect Crestwood Transfer, then (i) the Holdings Member shall have the right (but not the obligation) (the “Tag-Along Right,” and the Units held by the Crestwood Member, the “Tag Interest”) to participate in the proposed transaction (the “Tag-

-24-

Along Transfer”) and (ii) the Crestwood Member shall make an offer (a “Tag-Along Offer”) by an irrevocable written notice to the Holdings Member, to include in the Tag-Along Transfer, on terms and conditions set forth in such notice (which must be at least as favorable to the Holdings Member as to the Crestwood Member), a number of the Holdings Member’s Units in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.10.

(b) Pursuant to the Tag-Along Right, (i) in the case of a Tag-Along Transfer that is a Transfer of Units, the Holdings Member shall have the right to Transfer in such Tag-Along Transfer the same percentage of its Units as the percentage of the Crestwood Member’s aggregate Units that the Crestwood Member is proposing to Transfer and (ii) in the case of a Tag-Along Transfer that is an indirect transfer, the Holdings Member shall have the right to Transfer in such Tag-Along Transfer the same percentage of its Units as the percentage of equity interests in the Crestwood Member being directly or indirectly transferred in such Tag-Along Transfer. If the Crestwood Member is unable to cause the transferee to purchase all of the Units proposed to be sold directly or indirectly by the Crestwood Member and the Holdings Member, then the Crestwood Member and the Holdings Member shall reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amount of such Units that each otherwise would have sold so as to permit the Crestwood Member and the Holdings Member to sell directly or indirectly the number of Units (determined in accordance with such pro rata basis) that the proposed transferee is willing to purchase.

(c) The Tag-Along Offer may be accepted by the Holdings Member at any time within 30 days after the Holdings Member’s receipt of the Tag-Along Offer (such period, the “Tag-Along Notice Period”), which acceptance must be made by delivery of a written notice indicating such acceptance to the Crestwood Member (such notice, the “Tag-Along Acceptance”). If the Holdings Member exercises the Tag-Along Right, then the Holdings Member’s Units shall be purchased on the same terms and conditions as the Tag Interest (provided, that in the case of a Tag-Along Transfer involving the direct or indirect transfer of an equity interest in which the equity interest being transferred represents an ownership interest in anything other than an indirect ownership interest in the Crestwood Member’s Units, then the purchase price to be paid in respect of the Holdings Member’s Units shall equal the Fair Market Value thereof); provided that any representations and warranties relating specifically to any Member shall be made only by such Member.

(d) If (i) the Holdings Member does not deliver a Tag-Along Acceptance within the Tag-Along Notice Period or (ii) the Tag-Along Transfer fails to close for any reason other than due to a breach by the Crestwood Member of its obligation to consummate the Tag-Along Transfer, then the Crestwood Member (or the applicable indirect transferor) may, during the 180-day period following the expiration of the Tag-Along Notice Period (which period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional 60 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any required government or other third party approvals) (the “Tag-Along Transfer Period”) consummate the Tag-Along Transfer with only the Tag Interest; provided that, in either such case, the Tag-Along Transfer is subject to a price no greater than the price set forth in the Tag-Along Offer and on other terms and conditions in the aggregate no more favorable to the transferee than those set forth in the Tag-Along Offer.

-25-

(e) If the Crestwood Member (or the applicable indirect transferor) does not sell the Tag Interest in the Tag-Along Transfer Period, the Crestwood Member must again comply with the provisions set forth in this Section 3.10, to the extent applicable, prior to making any subsequent sale of all or any portion of its Units or effecting or permitting any indirect transfer of all or any portion of Units.

ARTICLE IV
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTIONS OF PREFERRED UNITS

4.01 Interests. Each Member’s Interest in the Company will be represented by its Capital Account and by Units issued by the Company to such Member. The classes of authorized Units as of the Effective Date are the Series A-2 Preferred Units, the Series B Preferred Units, the Series C Preferred Units and the Common Units (it being understood that all of the Series A Preferred Units issued under the Prior LLC Agreement were redeemed and extinguished on the Effective Date). Except as expressly set forth herein, the Units have no voting rights and do not confer the right to vote on matters related to the Company or otherwise. The obligations of each Member hereunder shall be several and not joint, and no Member shall be obligated to make any of the Capital Contributions of another Member.

4.02 Capital Contributions.

(a) Initial Capital Contributions. On the Effective Date, all of the Series A Preferred Units issued under the Prior LLC Agreement were redeemed and extinguished and the Company issued the number of Series A-2 Preferred Units set forth opposite the Holdings Member’s name on Exhibit A, and the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made by the Holdings Member in respect of such Series A-2 Preferred Units is also set forth opposite the Holdings Member’s name on Exhibit A. As of the Effective Date, the Crestwood Member has contributed $139,906,373 to the Company and holds the number of Common Units set forth opposite the Crestwood Member’s name on Exhibit A.

(b) Pre-Conversion Capital Contributions by Members.

(i) Until the earlier to occur of (A) the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date and (B) a Conversion, the Crestwood Member may, in its sole discretion, elect to require the Holdings Member to fund any Agreed Midstream Project as set forth in this Section 4.02(b)(i). Any such election shall be exercised by delivering a written notice in compliance with Section 4.02(d) to the Holdings Member. If the Crestwood Member makes such an election and delivers such notice, then, on the funding dates set out in such notice, the Holdings Member will be required to fund 49.99% of all amounts required in connection with the Agreed Midstream Project (including any Required Jackalope Contribution in connection with an Agreed Midstream Project, but subject to any approvals or other limitations as may be set out in the applicable Project Request) by making Capital Contributions to the Company (each such required contribution, an “Accordion Capital Contribution”), and the Crestwood Member will be required to fund the balance of all amounts required in connection with such Agreed Midstream Project by making Capital Contributions to the Company (each such required contribution, a “Crestwood Additional

-26-

Capital Contribution”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Accordion Capital Contribution or Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution with respect to an Agreed Midstream Project has been approved but not fully funded prior to the earlier to occur of the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date and Conversion, then in each case such Accordion Capital Contribution or Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution will continue to be required to be made (and Section 4.02(b)(i)(A) or (B), as applicable, shall be disregarded with respect thereto) except that, in the case of a Conversion, instead of issuing Series A-2 Preferred Units to any Member that is funding an Accordion Capital Contribution (or Common Units based on the Common Unit Price in respect of Crestwood Additional Capital Contributions), instead the Company shall issue to each Member that is so funding a number of Common Units equal to the amount of such Accordion Capital Contribution or Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution made by such Member (as the case may be) divided by the Fair Market Value of a Common Unit. In the event that, prior to a Conversion, the Crestwood Member (i) does not elect to require an Accordion Capital Contribution in respect of an Agreed Midstream Project, (ii) causes the Company to pursue a Midstream Project Opportunity undertaken by Jackalope LLC or its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 6.03(d)(ii)(A) or (iii) causes the Company to pursue a De Minimis Midstream Project Opportunity pursuant to Section 6.03(e), any Capital Contribution required in connection therewith shall be considered a Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, once the Holdings Member has made aggregate Accordion Capital Contributions at least equal to the Maximum Holdings Member Accordion Amount, the Holdings Member will have no further obligation to make any further Accordion Capital Contributions to the Company, and the Holdings Member shall not be required to make Accordion Capital Contributions at any time at which either any Series B Preferred Units are outstanding or any Series A-2 Quarterly Distribution required to have been distributed in cash has not been paid in full in accordance with Section 5.01(a). For the avoidance of doubt, (I) if (x) the Crestwood Member makes an election to require the Holdings Member to fund any Agreed Midstream Project at a time at which the aggregate amount of all Accordion Capital Contributions as of immediately prior to such election (the “Prior Aggregate Accordion Amount”) does not exceed the Maximum Holdings Member Accordion Amount and (y) the excess of the Maximum Holdings Member Accordion Amount minus the Prior Aggregate Accordion Amount is an amount less than 49.99% of all amounts required in connection with an Agreed Midstream Project, then the Accordion Capital Contribution of the Holdings Member pursuant to such election shall be reduced to such excess amount and the Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution relating to such Agreed Midstream Project shall be increased accordingly and (II) the Maximum Holdings Member Accordion Amount shall not be reduced by any Series A-2 PIK Distribution. Immediately upon receipt of any Accordion Capital Contribution by the Company, except as provided in the penultimate sentence of Section 4.02(b)(i), the Company shall issue to the Holdings Member a number of Series A-2 Preferred Units equal to the amount of such Accordion Capital Contribution divided by the Series A-2 Preferred Unit Price. Immediately upon receipt of any Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution by the Company, except as provided in the penultimate sentence of Section 4.02(b)(i), the Company shall issue to the

-27-

Crestwood Member a number of Common Units equal to the amount of such Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution divided by the Common Unit Price.

(iii) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, immediately following any acquisition of Series A-2 Preferred Units by the Crestwood Member pursuant to Section 3.04, all obligations of the “Holdings Member” set forth in the foregoing provisions of Section 4.02(b) to fund Accordion Capital Contributions shall become obligations of both the Crestwood Member and the Holdings Member, and such obligations shall be performed pro rata in proportion to each of such Member’s respective ownership of outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units, and the Maximum Holdings Member Accordion Amount shall be reduced proportionately to adjust for the percentage of Series A-2 Preferred Units no longer held by the Holdings Member. Immediately upon the receipt of any Accordion Capital Contribution by the Crestwood Member, except as provided in the penultimate sentence of Section 4.02(b)(i), the Company shall issue to the Crestwood Member a number of Series A-2 Preferred Units equal to the amount of such Accordion Capital Contribution made by the Crestwood Member divided by the Series A-2 Preferred Unit Price.

(iv) Before a Conversion, in connection with any capital requirements of the Company, other than an Agreed Midstream Project, the Managing Member shall fund the amount of such capital requirement (A) out of the operating cash flows of the Company (but only to the extent of Available Cash) and/or (B) by drawing on a credit facility approved in accordance with Section 6.02(a)(xvi), as applicable, except to the extent that the Managing Member has determined that it is commercially reasonable to fund all or a portion of such capital requirements with Capital Contributions from the Crestwood Member. To the extent that the Managing Member has determined to fund any such capital requirements pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above in this Section 4.02(b)(iv), and such funding sources are not sufficient to satisfy the full capital requirement, the remaining amount of such capital requirement shall be made by the Crestwood Member in exchange for a number of Common Units equal to the amount of such contribution divided by the Common Unit Price.

(c) Post-Conversion Capital Call For Capital Contribution. Without limiting the obligations of the Members pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Section 4.02(b)(i), subject to Section 6.02 and Section 6.03, at any time after a Conversion, the Managing Member may request that the Members make additional Capital Contributions by issuing a notice to the Members in accordance with Section 4.02(d). Each Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to make Capital Contributions pursuant to such a notice. Within 30 days after the receipt of such notice, each Member shall notify the Managing Member whether it elects to fund its pro rata portion of the requested Capital Contribution. If any Member does not notify the Managing Member of such election within such 30 days, then such Member will be deemed to have elected not to fund its pro rata portion, and the Member that has elected to fund will have the option to fund the entire Capital Contribution amount and/or may allow another Person to make all or any portion of the Capital Contribution.

(d) Capital Call Notices. Prior to any request for Capital Contributions, the Managing Member shall send each Member a written notice setting forth (i) in reasonable detail

-28-

the Agreed Midstream Project or other project giving rise to such request for Capital Contributions, (ii) the amount of such Capital Contribution requested (and, if applicable, the amount of any future anticipated requests for Capital Contributions in connection with such Agreed Midstream Project or other project), (iii) the portion of such requested Capital Contribution that each Member is obligated or requested to contribute, (iv) if after Conversion, the Fair Market Value of the Common Units to be issued in exchange for such Capital Contributions and (v) the date on which such Capital Contributions must occur, which shall in each case be no less than 30 days after the date of such notice.

4.03 Funding Defaults

(a) Failure of the Crestwood Member to Make a Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution. If, prior to a Conversion, the Crestwood Member fails to fund 100% of any Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution when due and fails to cure such default within three Business Days after such due date (any such failure, a “Deficiency Event”), then the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than three Business Days after the due date for such Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution, provide written notice of such failure to the Holdings Member, and the Holdings Member shall have the option, in its sole discretion and as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, to fund the amount of such deficiency, including any interest payable to Jackalope LLC pursuant to Section 3.1(d) of the Jackalope LLC Agreement as a result of such deficiency (any such amount funded by the Holdings Member, a “Deficiency Contribution”). Immediately upon receipt of any Deficiency Contribution by the Company, the Company shall issue to the Holdings Member a number of Series B Preferred Units equal to the amount of such Deficiency Contribution divided by the Series B Preferred Unit Price. A Deficiency Event shall not relieve the Crestwood Member of its obligation to make any Crestwood Additional Capital Contributions subsequent thereto.

(b) Failure of Holdings Member to Make an Accordion Capital Contribution. If, prior to a Conversion, the Holdings Member fails to fund 100% of any Accordion Capital Contribution when due and fails to cure such default within three Business Days after such due date (any such failure, a “Holdings Member Default”), then the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than three Business Days after the due date for such Accordion Capital Contribution, provide written notice of such failure to the Crestwood Member, and the Crestwood Member shall have the option, in its sole discretion and as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, to fund the amount of such deficiency, including any interest due and payable to Jackalope LLC pursuant to Section 3.1(d) of the Jackalope LLC Agreement as a result of such deficiency (any such amount funded by the Crestwood Member, a “Default Contribution”). Immediately upon receipt of any Default Contribution by the Company, the Company shall issue to the Crestwood Member a number of Series C Preferred Units equal to the amount of such Default Contribution divided by the Series C Unit Price. A Holdings Member Default shall not relieve the Holdings Member of its obligation to make any Accordion Capital Contributions subsequent thereto.

(i) If, following a Conversion, either Member elects to fund in response to a request for Capital Contributions (or is required to fund pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Section 4.02(b)(i)) but fails to fund such amount when due, and in either case,

-29-

fails to cure such default within three Business Days after such due date (such Member, a “Non-Funding Member,” and any such failure, a “Post-Conversion Default”), then the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than three Business Days after the due date for such Capital Contribution, provide written notice of such failure to the non-defaulting Member, and such non-defaulting Member shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to fund the amount of such Post-Conversion Default, including any interest due and payable to Jackalope LLC pursuant to Section 3.1(d) of the Jackalope LLC Agreement as a result of such deficiency (any such amount funded by such Member in accordance with this Section 4.03(c)(i), a “Post-Conversion Default Contribution”). Any Member that funds a Post-Conversion Default Contribution in accordance with this Section 4.03(c) is referred to herein as a “Funding Member” and shall be entitled to certain amounts as set forth in this Section 4.03(c).

(ii) If a Post-Conversion Default Contribution is made by the Funding Member, and the Total Amount in Default with respect thereto is paid by or on behalf of a Non-Funding Member to the Company within 30 days after the applicable Post-Conversion Default (a “Payment Cure”, and such 30 day period, the “Cure Period”), then the Company shall pay to the Funding Member, within five Business Days of receipt, an amount equal to the Total Amount in Default less any distributions already paid to the Funding Member pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(iii).

(iii) From and after a Post-Conversion Default, the applicable Non-Funding Member’s right to receive distributions pursuant to this Agreement shall be suspended and paid to the Funding Member or retained by the Company, as applicable, until the earlier of a Payment Cure and the time at which such aggregate distributions withheld from the Non-Funding Member (together with any additional contributions made by the Non-Funding Member pursuant to the following sentence) equal either (x) if a Funding Member funded the Post-Conversion Default Contribution, *** of the Total Amount in Default or (y) if no Funding Member funded the Post-Conversion Default Contribution, the amount of the Post-Conversion Default Contribution plus any interest owed or distributions foregone pursuant to the Jackalope LLC Agreement as a result of any failure to make any Capital Contribution to Jackalope LLC as and when due plus interest at a *** interest rate on the sum of the foregoing amounts in this clause (y). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-Funding Member shall have the right, at any time prior to the suspension of distributions referenced above terminating, to accelerate the date on which such suspension terminates by paying to the Company such amounts as are necessary to achieve the threshold identified in foregoing clause (x) or (y), as applicable, and if it does so, then such thresholds will be deemed satisfied and such funds shall be paid to the Funding Member or retained by the Company, as applicable, and then such suspension of distributions shall immediately cease.

-30-

(iv) A Post-Conversion Default shall not relieve the Non-Funding Member of its obligation to fund its pro rata portion of any other Capital Contributions that it elected or is required to fund.

4.04 Withdrawal or Return of Capital. Except as provided in this Agreement, including Sections 4.06 and 5.01, no Member is entitled to the return of or has the right to withdraw any part of its Capital Contribution from the Company prior to its liquidation and termination pursuant to Article X hereof. No Member is entitled to be paid interest in respect of either its Capital Account or its Capital Contributions. Any unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of the other Members. A Member is not required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any other Member’s Capital Contributions.

4.05 Further Contributions. (a) If the Company becomes obligated to make an indemnification payment (or to expend funds, or to make payments to third parties) pursuant to the Subscription Agreement with respect to Losses (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) and it does not at such time have sufficient Available Cash after payment of all amounts otherwise due or owing at such time, then the Crestwood Member shall promptly make a contribution of immediately available funds into the Company in an amount sufficient to permit the Company promptly to make such indemnification payment (or to pay such expense, or to pay any such third party) in full, and the Company shall promptly make such indemnification payment (or pay such expense, or pay any such third party) upon receipt; provided, however, that, following a Conversion, indemnification payments (as well as payments of expenses and payments to third parties) pursuant to the Subscription Agreement with respect to Losses (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) shall not be made by the Company from Available Cash but instead the Crestwood Member shall promptly make a contribution of immediately available funds into the Company in an amount sufficient to make the full amount of such indemnification or other payments in full from such contributed funds. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) any such indemnification payment made by the Company from Available Cash (or any funds expended by the Company, or paid by the Company to a third party from a source other than a contribution by the Crestwood Member to the Company pursuant to this Section 4.05(a)) with respect to Losses (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) giving rise to such indemnification obligation shall be deemed a distribution to the Crestwood Member for purposes of the definition of Adjusted Capex Amount and shall not be a distribution to the Holdings Member for any purpose under this Agreement and (ii) any contribution by the Crestwood Member to the Company to permit the Company to make such an indemnification payment (or to fund such an expense, or such a payment to a third party) with respect to Losses (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) shall not be a Capital Contribution for the purposes of the definition of Adjusted Capex Amount or for the purposes of Section 5.01(b)(ii)(A). Without any effect on the foregoing, if the Crestwood Member makes any contribution to the Company pursuant to this Section 4.05(a), then the Company shall (I) issue to the Crestwood Member a number of Common Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the amount of such contribution by either (x) the Common Unit Price, if such contribution occurs prior to a Conversion or (y) the Fair Market Value per Common Unit, if such contribution occurs following a Conversion

-31-

and (II) if such contribution by the Crestwood Member occurs following a Conversion, issue to the Holdings Member a number of Common Units equal to the product of the number of Common Units issuable to the Crestwood Member pursuant to the foregoing clause (I)(y) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Units held by the Holdings Member as of immediately prior to such contribution and the denominator of which is the number of Common Units held by the Crestwood Member as of immediately prior to such contribution. For the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of Common Units as contemplated by the preceding sentence shall not be a Capital Contribution for purposes of, and shall not be subject to, Section 4.02 or Section 4.03, and neither Member shall be required to make any contributions with respect thereto (other than the obligation of the Crestwood Member expressly referenced in this Section 4.05).

(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, no further Capital Contributions will be required from any Member without such Member’s prior written consent, and no Member shall have any obligation to restore any deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account.

4.06 Redemption of Preferred Units.

(a) Deficiency Preferred Units. Following the issuance of any Deficiency Preferred Units and until the earlier of the date that such Deficiency Preferred Units have been redeemed in full in accordance with this Agreement, 100% of all Adjusted Available Cash on hand and thereafter received by the Company shall immediately be paid over to the Holdings Member and the Crestwood Member, pro rata in accordance with their respective holdings of Deficiency Preferred Units, to redeem all outstanding Deficiency Preferred Units; provided that (i) a Series B Preferred Unit will be redeemed pursuant to the foregoing clause upon the Holdings Member’s receipt of cash in respect of such Series B Preferred Unit in the amount required to provide the Holdings Member an IRR equal to *** with respect to such Series B Preferred Unit and (ii) a Series C Preferred Unit will be redeemed pursuant to the foregoing clause upon the Crestwood Member’s receipt of cash in respect of such Series C Preferred Unit in the amount required to provide the Crestwood Member an IRR equal to *** with respect to such Series C Preferred Unit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right of the Holdings Member and the Crestwood Member to have any Deficiency Preferred Units redeemed pursuant to this Section 4.06(a) will be senior in right of payment to all distributions to Members or redemptions of Units by the Company.

(b) Crestwood Change of Control; Company Change of Control. Within five Business Days following a Crestwood Change of Control or a Company Change of Control, in each case, if any, the Holdings Member may elect by written notice to the Crestwood Member (the “Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to require the Company to redeem from the Holdings Member all then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units. Within five Business Days following delivery of the Change of Control Redemption Notice, the Crestwood Member shall deliver written notice to the Holdings Member (the “Consideration Election Notice”)

-32-

indicating whether (i) the Company has elected to redeem the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units for cash, (ii) in lieu of such redemption, the Crestwood Member will acquire from the Holdings Member the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units through the issuance to the Holdings Member or its designee as consideration a number of CEQP Units, valued at the CEQP Unit Price calculated as of the date of such Crestwood Change of Control or Company Change of Control, or (iii) it elects to effect a combination of the actions described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any case, in an amount per Series A-2 Preferred Unit equal to the Change of Control Redemption Price and an amount per Series B Preferred Unit equal to the Change of Control Redemption Price; provided, however, that (A) the options set forth in the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) shall not be available at any time at which an RRA Suspension Right would be, or would reasonably likely to be, exercisable by CEQP pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement if the Holdings Member were to exercise a demand registration right pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Registration Rights Agreement immediately following the issuance of CEQP Units to the Holdings Member, (B) the number of CEQP Units issued pursuant to this Section 4.06(b) shall not exceed the Maximum Redemption Units (it being acknowledged and agreed that the issuance of the Maximum Redemption Units, if applicable, shall redeem in full all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units and no further cash or other consideration shall be required to be paid in connection therewith) and (C) CEQP shall comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such CEQP Units so issued. The closing of any redemption or acquisition pursuant to this Section 4.06(b) shall occur no later than the tenth Business Day following the delivery of the Change of Control Redemption Notice; provided, however, that in the event that the Crestwood Member fails to deliver a Consideration Election Notice prior to the fifth Business Day following the delivery of the Change of Control Redemption Notice, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to redeem the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 4.06(b) in cash and the closing for such redemption shall occur no later than the tenth Business Day following the delivery of the Change of Control Redemption Notice.

(c) Crestwood Option for Redemption. At any time following the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to Section 4.06(a) in respect of the redemption of Deficiency Preferred Units, by delivery of 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to each of the Company and the Holdings Member, the Crestwood Member may elect to cause the Company to redeem some or all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units effective as of the 10th Business Day following delivery of such notice (the “Redemption Effective Date”) for an amount per Series A-2 Preferred Unit equal to the product of (i) *** and (ii) the Series A-2 Liquidation Amount calculated as of close of business on the day prior to the Redemption Effective Date; provided, that such aggregate amount payable may be satisfied by the Crestwood Member’s (1) causing the Company to redeem some or all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units in exchange for the Company’s paying the Holdings Member cash, (2) acquiring some or all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units by the issuance to the Holdings Member or its designee as consideration a number of CEQP Units, valued at the CEQP Unit Price calculated as of close of business on the day prior to the Redemption Effective Date, or (3) acquiring some or all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units by a combination of the actions described in clauses (1) and (2) above, subject to compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however,that no redemption or acquisition of fewer than all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units

-33-

owned by the Holdings Member may be effected pursuant to this Section 4.06(c) unless the sum of the aggregate cash paid to the Holdings Member plus the aggregate value of the CEQP Units issued to the Holdings Member in such redemption or acquisition pursuant to this Section 4.06(c) equals or exceeds ***; provided further, that (A) the options set forth in the foregoing clauses (2) and (3) shall not be available (x) if the aggregate value of the CEQP Units issued to the Holdings Member in such redemption or acquisition does not equal or exceed *** or (y) at any time at which an RRA Suspension Right would be, or would reasonably likely to be, exercisable by CEQP pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement if the Holdings Member were to exercise a demand registration right pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Registration Rights Agreement immediately following the issuance of CEQP Units to the Holdings Member and (B) CEQP shall comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such CEQP Units so issued; provided further, that such notice shall state the number of Series A-2 Preferred Units and/or Series B Preferred Units that the Crestwood Member has elected to cause the Company to redeem.

(d) Holdings Member Option Period. From and after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and until such time as there are no Series A-2 Preferred Units or Series B Preferred Units outstanding (such period, the “Holdings Member Option Period”), subject to Section 4.06(a) in respect of the redemption of Deficiency Preferred Units and subject also to Section 4.06(e), the Holdings Member may elect at any time when there are no Series C Preferred Units outstanding for one or more of the following three options by delivery of written notice to the Crestwood Member stating the chosen option and the anticipated closing date for the applicable transaction for such chosen option, and, no later than two Business Days following the delivery of such notice to the Crestwood Member by the Holdings Member, the Crestwood Member shall deliver a written notice to the Holdings Member indicating whether an RRA Suspension Right would be, or would reasonably likely to be, exercisable by CEQP (and also indicating the anticipated period of suspension) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement if the Holdings Member were to exercise a demand registration right pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Registration Rights Agreement immediately following the issuance of CEQP Units to the Holdings Member, provided that, if the Holdings Member’s election notice opted for clause (ii) below and the Crestwood Member’s notice indicates that an RRA Suspension would be, or would reasonably likely to be, so exercisable, then the Holdings Member shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion by delivery of another written notice to the Crestwood Member, to elect to amend its prior election notice in order to choose an alternative option set forth below or to delay the issuance of CEQP Units until the expiration of the suspension period:

(i) for 100% of all Adjusted Available Cash on hand and thereafter received by the Company to immediately be paid over to the Members owning Class A-2 Preferred Units to redeem all outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units; provided that (A) a Series A-2 Preferred Unit will be redeemed pursuant to this Section 4.06(d)(i) upon the applicable Member’s receipt of cash in respect of such Series A-2 Preferred Unit in the amount required to provide such Member an IRR equal to *** with respect to such Series A-2 Preferred Unit, taking into account all Series A-2 Quarterly Distributions (including

any Series A-2 PIK Distributions) paid by the Company as of such date of determination, (B) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the right of the Holdings Member to have the Series A-2 Preferred Units redeemed pursuant to this Section 4.06(d)(i) will be senior in right of payment to all distributions to Members or redemptions of Units by the Company, other than in respect of the redemption of Deficiency Preferred Units pursuant to Section 4.06(a) or redemption of Series A-2 Preferred Units held by the Crestwood Member pursuant to this Section 4.06(d)(i) and (C) if the Holdings Member elects for this Section 4.06(d)(i), then, following such election, the Holdings Member shall have the right to elect for Section 4.06(d)(ii) or Section 4.06(d)(iii) at a later time; or

(ii) to require the Crestwood Member to acquire, on or before the tenth Business Day following the Holdings Member’s delivery of such notice, some or all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units in exchange for the issuance to the Holdings Member or its designee as consideration the number of CEQP Units, valued at the CEQP Unit Price, required to provide to the Holdings Member an IRR equal to (A) *** on each Series A-2 Preferred Unit so purchased, taking into account all Series A-2 Quarterly Distributions (including any Series A-2 PIK Distributions) paid by the Company as of such date of determination, and (B) *** on each Series B Preferred Unit so acquired; provided, however, that (I) in no event shall the number of CEQP Units issued pursuant to this Section 4.06(d)(ii) exceed the Maximum Redemption Units (it being acknowledged and agreed that the issuance of the Maximum Redemption Units pursuant to this Section 4.06(d)(ii), if applicable, shall redeem in full all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units) and (II) CEQP shall comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such CEQP Units so issued; and provided further, however, that (x) with respect to any Partial Redemption, such notice shall state the number of Series A-2 Preferred Units and/or Series B Preferred Units that the Holdings Member has elected to require the Crestwood Member to acquire, (y) there shall be no more than one Partial Redemption (it being understood that, subject to the succeeding clause (z), following a Partial Redemption, any exercise by the Holdings Member of its rights under this Section 4.06(d)(ii) shall be for all (but not less than all) of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units owned by the Holdings Member) and (z) for 180 days following a Partial Redemption, the Holdings Member shall be prohibited from exercising its rights under this Section 4.06(d)(ii) in respect of the remainder of its Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units; or

-35-

to pay third party expenses, the “Sale Proceeds”); provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that, the Crestwood Member may, at any time prior to the consummation of any such Sale Transaction, exercise its rights arising under Section 4.06(e). At any time following the delivery of a Sale Option Notice pursuant to this Section 4.06(d)(iii), the Holdings Member shall have the option to cause the Company to engage a nationally recognized investment bank to undertake a process to effect a Sale Transaction, which process will be controlled by the Crestwood Member (unless the Crestwood Member determines that the process will be controlled by the Holdings Member) after reasonable consultation with the Holdings Member, and the Crestwood Member and the Company hereby agree to take all actions and grant all approvals reasonably requested by the Holdings Member in connection with any such process. Upon receipt of the Sale Proceeds, the Company shall promptly, but in any event not more than five Business Days following such receipt, use such Sale Proceeds to redeem for cash all then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units at prices per Series A-2 Preferred Unit and Series B Preferred Unit required to provide the holder thereof an IRR equal to *** on each such Series A-2 Preferred Unit so redeemed, taking into account all Series A-2 Quarterly Distributions (including any Series A-2 PIK Distributions) paid by the Company as of such date of determination and an IRR equal to *** on each such Series B Preferred Unit so redeemed. All of the remaining Sale Proceeds, if any, after the redemption of all then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units, shall be distributed to the Crestwood Member in respect of the Common Units and thereafter the Company will be terminated pursuant to Section 10.03. If the Sale Proceeds are insufficient to provide for the redemption of all then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units in full, then the Holdings Member shall have the right to elect the remedies set out in Section 4.06(d)(ii) as to any shortfall in amounts required to achieve such IRR thresholds unless all of the following occur: (x) the Crestwood Member, upon receipt of the Sale Option Notice, responded within five days that it was granting the Holdings Member the sole and exclusive right to run and control the Sale Transaction, (y) following such grant by the Crestwood Member, the Holdings Member failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the greatest amount of Sale Proceeds reasonably available to the Company in a Sale Transaction and (z) the Crestwood Member and the Company used commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as were reasonably requested by the Holdings Member in connection therewith. If the foregoing conditions set forth in clauses (x), (y) and (z) are all satisfied, then, upon completion of the Sale Transaction, all then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units shall be deemed to have been redeemed in full for the Sale Proceeds.

(e) Rights of Crestwood Member During Holdings Member Option Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.06, if the Holdings Member has delivered a written notice pursuant to Section 4.06(d) (and provided that neither an acquisition pursuant to Section 4.06(d)(ii) nor a Sale Transaction pursuant to Section 4.06(d)(iii) has been consummated), then, from and after the delivery of such notice by the Holdings Member and until the expiration of the Holdings Member Option Period, the Crestwood Member may elect by delivering 10 Business

-36-

Days’ prior written notice to the Holdings Member to (i) cause the Company to redeem all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units in exchange for the Company’s paying the Holdings Member cash, (ii) acquire all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units owned by the Holdings Member by the issuance to the Holdings Member or its designee as consideration a number of CEQP Units, valued at the CEQP Unit Price, in either case, effective as of the 10th Business Day following delivery of such notice and as required to provide to the Holdings Member an IRR equal to *** on each Series A-2 Preferred Unit so redeemed or acquired, taking into account all Series A-2 Quarterly Distributions (including any Series A-2 PIK Distributions) paid by the Company as of such date of determination and *** on each Series B Preferred Unit so redeemed or acquired, or (iii) acquire all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units owned by the Holdings Member by a combination of the actions described in clauses (i) and (ii) above; provided, however, that, solely with respect to the Series A-2 Preferred Units and the Series B Preferred Units subject to a Partial Redemption, the references to “all” in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.06(e) shall instead be deemed to refer to the number of Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units that the Holdings Member elected to require the Crestwood Member to acquire in such Partial Redemption; and provided further, that in connection with any election by the Crestwood Member to exercise its rights under this Section 4.06(e), (A) the options set forth in the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) shall not be available at any time at which an RRA Suspension Right would be, or would reasonably likely to be, exercisable by CEQP pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement if the Holdings Member were to exercise a demand registration right pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Registration Rights Agreement immediately following the issuance of CEQP Units to the Holdings Member, (B) the number of CEQP Units shall not exceed the Maximum Redemption Units (it being acknowledged and agreed that the issuance of the Maximum Redemption Units, if applicable, shall redeem in full all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units and no further cash or other consideration shall be required to be paid in connection therewith) and (C) CEQP shall comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such CEQP Units so issued; and provided further, for the avoidance of doubt, that, if the Holdings Member has not delivered a written notice pursuant to Section 4.06(d), then the Crestwood Member shall not have the right to elect from among the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) in this Section 4.06(e).

(f) Effect of Redemption or Purchase of Preferred Units. To the extent that any Series A-2 Preferred Unit or Series B Preferred Unit is redeemed in full by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, at the time of such redemption, such Series A-2 Preferred Unit or Series B Preferred Unit will be immediately cancelled and retired by the Company. Upon the acquisition of any Series A-2 Preferred Unit or Series B Preferred Unit by the Crestwood Member pursuant to this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 3.04 (Right of First Offer on Indirect Holdings Member Transfer)), immediately following such acquisition, such Preferred Unit shall be automatically be converted into, and shall be treated in all respects as, one Common Unit. Upon the acquisition of any Series A-2 Preferred Unit, Series B Preferred Unit or other Unit by the Crestwood Member pursuant to Section 3.04 (Right of First Offer on Indirect Holdings Member

-37-

Transfer), such Units shall remain outstanding but, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Units (and the Crestwood Member as the owner of such Units) shall not have any redemption rights (other than pursuant to Section 4.06(d)(i), Section 4.06(d)(iii), or Section 5.01(c)), voting rights, governance rights or other rights hereunder but instead shall only have economic rights with respect thereto (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right to receive distributions in accordance with Article V) and the conversion rights set forth in Section 4.07. Further, at such time as 100% of the Series A-2 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units held by the Holdings Member have been redeemed in full by the Company or acquired by the Crestwood Member in accordance with this Agreement, the Holdings Member shall immediately cease to be both a Member and a Party; provided, however, that the rights and obligations of the Holdings Member under Sections 3.07, 3.08, 3.09, Article V, Sections 6.03(c)(ii), 6.04(c), (d), (e) and (f), 6.05, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05, Article VIII, Section 9.01 and Article XI (the “Surviving Provisions”) shall survive the Holdings Member’s termination as a Member subject to any time limitations expressly set forth in any of the foregoing sections. In connection with any redemption or acquisition of less than all of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units or Series B Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 4.06, such redemption or acquisition shall be effected in a manner such that the earliest-issued, then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units or Series B Preferred Units, as applicable, are redeemed prior to the redemption of any later-issued Series A-2 Preferred Units or Series B Preferred Units.

(g) CEQP Guaranty. CEQP hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to be jointly and severally liable for the full, complete and timely performance by the Crestwood Member of the obligation to deliver CEQP Units to the Holdings Member under Section 4.06(b), Section 4.06(c), Section 4.06(d)(ii) and Section 4.06(e) (the “CEQP Guaranty”), and CEQP’s obligations under the CEQP Guaranty shall be primary and not secondary to the obligations of the Crestwood Member. The CEQP Guaranty is absolute, continuing and independent of, and in addition to, any and all rights and remedies of the Holdings Member under this Agreement, and shall not in any way be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by any of the following, each of which is hereby waived by CEQP: (a) any release or waiver of, or delay in, the enforcement of any rights of the Holdings Member, or (b) any requirements for promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor or any other notice or similar requirement.

4.07 Conversion of Preferred Units.

(a) Conditional Conversion Option. For so long as any outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units are issued and outstanding and until the later of the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date and 30 days following the date on which no Series B Preferred Units are outstanding (such later date, the “Conversion Notice Deadline”), (i) if an Exit Event occurs, (ii) if the CWN TTM EBITDA Condition is satisfied or (iii) at any time following the third anniversary of the Effective Date, the Holdings Member may elect in each case by written notice to the Crestwood Member (the “Conversion Notice”) to cause the Company to convert all, but not less than all, of the then-outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units into an aggregate number of Common Units that, following such Conversion, shall equal 49.99% of the aggregate number of outstanding Common Units as of immediately following such Conversion (the “Conversion”), which Common Units shall be issued to the Holdings Member (or, if the Crestwood Member acquired any Series A-2 Preferred Units

-38-

pursuant to Section 3.04 (Right of First Offer on Indirect Holdings Member Transfer), then to the Holdings Member and the Crestwood Member in proportion to their respective ownership of all Series A-2 Preferred Units); provided, however, that (x) the Holdings Member’s right to effect a Conversion shall be limited solely to the extent required to be limited by applicable law and (y) if any of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) has not been satisfied prior to the date that is 45 days prior to the Conversion Notice Deadline, but subsequently is satisfied prior to the Conversion Notice Deadline and the Holdings Member notifies the Company in writing that it desires to deliver a Conversion Notice prior to the Conversion Notice Deadline, and expiration or earlier termination of any applicable waiting period under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is required in order for the Conversion to occur (“HSR Approval”), then the Conversion Notice Deadline shall automatically be extended until the earlier of (A) receipt of HSR Approval and (B) 45 days following the satisfaction of such condition.

(b) Effectiveness of Conversion; Rights of Holdings Member Upon Conversion. A Conversion shall be effective immediately, and without any payment of consideration or further action by the Company, or the Members, upon the delivery by the Holdings Member of a Conversion Notice to the Crestwood Member. Upon a Conversion, the rights of the Holdings Member (and if applicable, the Crestwood Member) in its capacity as a holder of Series A-2 Preferred Units or Series B Preferred Units shall cease with respect to such Units, including any rights under this Agreement with respect to such Units.

(c) Reimbursement Obligation of the Holdings Member Following Conversion. No later than 10 Business Days following a Conversion, the Crestwood Member shall deliver a written notice to the Holdings Member setting forth the Adjusted Capex Amount and wire transfer instructions for the account to which the Holdings Member should deliver the funds required (if any) pursuant to this Section 4.07(c). No later than 10 Business Days following the receipt of such notice, the Holdings Member shall deliver to the Crestwood Member a written notice agreeing to one of the following three options: (i) to pay to the Crestwood Member the Adjusted Capex Amount in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Crestwood Member, (ii) having the Company reduce the number of Common Units held by the Holdings Member following the Conversion by a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (A) the Adjusted Capex Amount divided by (B) the Common Unit Price or (iii) electing to pay a portion of the Adjusted Capex Amount and instructing the Company to reduce the number of Common Units held by the Holdings Member following the Conversion by a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (A) the balance of the Adjusted Capex Amount, divided by (B) the Common Unit Price. If the Holdings Member elects options (i) or (iii), then the Holdings Member shall deliver the Adjusted Capex Amount (or in the case of option (iii) the reduced amount thereof) to the Crestwood Member no later than 10 Business Days following the delivery of such notice to the Crestwood Member. If the Holdings Member elects options (ii) or (iii), then, without any further action by the Company, the board or the Members, the number of Common Units held by the Holdings Member shall automatically be reduced as instructed, effective upon the Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Crestwood Member be required to pay any Adjusted Capex Amount to the Holdings Member.

ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

5.01 Distributions.

(a) Quarterly Series A-2 Preferred Distributions. Commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ending on March 31, 2018 and ending upon the earlier to occur of a Conversion or the redemption of all of the Series A-2 Preferred Units, the holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive cumulative distributions (each, a “Series A-2 Quarterly Distribution”), prior to any other distributions made in respect of any Common Units or other Interests other than any outstanding Deficiency Preferred Units, in the amount set forth in this Section 5.01(a) in respect of each Series A-2 Preferred Unit outstanding as of the end of such Fiscal Quarter. All such distributions shall be paid within 30 days after the end of each such Fiscal Quarter and, except as provided in the immediately following sentence, in cash in an amount equal to the Series A-2 Coupon Amount; provided, however, that the Series A-2 Coupon Amount shall be equal to zero for each Fiscal Quarter in respect of which there are Series C Preferred Units outstanding as of end of such Fiscal Quarter. For the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2018, and for each Fiscal Quarter thereafter through and including the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2019, the Series A-2 Quarterly Distribution may, at the election of the Company, be paid through the issuance to the Holdings Member of a number of Series A-2 Preferred Units (a “Series A-2 PIK Distribution”) equal to the quotient resulting from the division of (A) the Series A-2 Coupon Amount, by (B) the Series A-2 Preferred Unit Price. For purposes of this Agreement, a Series A-2 PIK Distribution shall be treated as a distribution of the Series A-2 Coupon Amount followed by an immediate contribution to the Company of such amount by the Holdings Member.

(b) Distributions of Available Cash.

(i) Subject to Section 5.01(b)(ii), the Managing Member shall cause the Company to make a distribution of 100% of all Available Cash in respect of a particular Fiscal Quarter to the Common Members in respect of the Common Units outstanding as of the end of such Fiscal Quarter (it being understood that, as of the Effective Date, the Crestwood Member shall be the only Common Member), provided that, if such distribution is prior to a Conversion, immediately prior to making such distribution (A) the Company has distributed any Series A-2 Quarterly Distribution required with respect to such Fiscal Quarter, (B) there are no Series A-2 Quarterly Distributions required to have been distributed pursuant to Section 5.01(a) with respect to any concluded Fiscal Quarter that remain unpaid, (C) no Series B Preferred Units are outstanding and (D) the Managing Member and the Company have each provided the Holdings Member with a written certificate in the form attached as Exhibit B at least three Business Days prior to making such distribution specifying that as of such time, no Material Adverse Change has occurred, nor will any Material Adverse Change occur as a result of the Company’s making such distribution.

(ii) If a Conversion has not yet occurred, in addition to fulfilling the conditions set forth in the proviso of Section 5.01(b)(i), at any time after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to make a distribution of 100% of all Available Cash in respect of a particular Fiscal Quarter as follows:

-40-

(A) First, pro rata to the Holdings Member and the Crestwood Member in accordance with their then-current respective aggregate Capital Contributions (but disregarding any contributions as contemplated by Section 4.05) as of the making of such distribution; provided that, for the purpose of this Section 5.01(b)(ii), (1) “Available Cash” shall include the aggregate amount of the Series A-2 Quarterly Distribution required to be distributed in respect of the Series A-2 Preferred Units with respect to such Fiscal Quarter and (2) the amount of Available Cash deemed to have been distributed to the Holdings Member for purposes of this Section 5.01(b)(ii) shall include the amount of any such Series A-2 Quarterly Distribution required to be distributed to the Holdings Member with respect to such Fiscal Quarter; and

(B) Second, upon the receipt by the Holdings Member pursuant to Section 5.01(b)(ii)(A) of an amount of distributions in respect of each outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Unit equal to (1) the amount required to provide to the Holdings Member an IRR equal to *** on each such outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Unit, less (2) the Series A-2 Preferred Unit Price, then, 100% to the Crestwood Member in respect of the Common Units.

(c) Special Proceeds. The Company shall use any Special Proceeds solely as follows: (A) first, to the extent that such Special Proceeds are not proceeds of a debt financing transaction undertaken by the Company or Jackalope LLC, to make (or be reserved for the making of) Required Jackalope Contributions; and (B) second, (I) to the extent that the Managing Member reasonably determines that no Required Jackalope Contributions will be required to be made at any time during the twelve months immediately following the Company’s receipt of such Special Proceeds, or (II) in the case that such Special Proceeds result from a debt financing transaction undertaken by the Company or Jackalope LLC, then the Managing Member shall cause the Company to redeem Series A-2 Preferred Units, pro rata from the Members in accordance with their respective ownership percentages of the aggregate outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Units, in cash as follows:

(i) at any time prior to the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, pursuant to Section 4.06(b) as if the Crestwood Member had elected to cause the Company to make such redemption solely for cash in connection with a Company Change of Control;

(ii) at any time on or after the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date but prior the commencement of the Holdings Member Option Period, pursuant to Section 4.06(c) as if the Crestwood Member had elected to cause the Company to make such redemption solely for cash; or

(iii) at any time after the commencement of the Holdings Member Option Period, pursuant to Section 4.06(e)(i) as if the Crestwood Member had elected to cause the Company to make such redemption solely for cash.

-41-

(d) Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Managing Member, in connection with and subject to the consent of the Holdings Member (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), shall determine the amounts of any required tax withholdings. In connection therewith, the Managing Member may retain or withhold amounts (including any amounts imposed pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code) and make tax payments, including interest and penalties thereon, on behalf of or with respect to any Member (“Tax Advances”). All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Member shall, at the option of the Managing Member, (i) be promptly paid to the Company by the Manager on whose behalf such Tax Advances were made or (ii) be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation of the Company otherwise payable to such Member. Whenever the Managing Member selects option (ii) pursuant to the preceding sentence for repayment of a Tax Advance by a Member, for all other purposes of this Agreement, such Member shall be treated as having received all distributions unreduced by the amount of such Tax Advance. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the liabilities and obligations of each Member under this Section 5.01(d) shall survive any deemed Transfer of an interest in the Company by such Member or such Member ceasing to be a Member under this Agreement.

(e) Distributions in Error. Any distributions pursuant to this Section 5.01 made in error or in violation of Section 18-607(a) of the Act, will, upon good faith demand by the Managing Member (or the Holdings Member, if such distribution in error was received by the Managing Member), be returned to the Company.

5.02 Allocations.

(a) In General. Except as provided in Section 5.02(b), for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts, items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for each applicable accounting period (taking into account, for this purpose, any positive adjustments to the Book Values of Company assets in the same manner as if such adjustments were items of income or gain and any negative adjustments to the Book Values of Company assets in the same manner as if such adjustments were items of deduction or loss) shall be allocated among the Members in a manner that will, as nearly as possible, cause the Capital Account balance of each Member at the end of such period to equal the amount (which may be negative) determined for such Member by subtracting item (ii) from item (i) below:

(i) the amount that would be distributed to such Member (other than any amounts treated as a guaranteed payment under Section 707(c) of the Code) if: (A) all Company assets were sold for cash equal to their Book Values; (B) all Company obligations were satisfied in cash according to their terms (limited, with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability or Member Nonrecourse Debt, to the Book Values of the assets securing or subject to such liability); and (C) the net proceeds thereof (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 10.02(c) (ignoring, for this purpose, Section 10.02(c)(ii)(B)(1), and applying Section 10.02(c)(ii)(B)(2) as if it applied at any time prior to the commencement of the Holdings Member Option Period); over

-42-

(ii) the sum of: (A) such Member’s share of the Company Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g) computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale described above, (B) such Member’s share of Member Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale described above and (C) the amount, if any, that such Member is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company computed after the hypothetical events described in Section 5.02(a)(i) above;

provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.02(a), the amount of items of Company deduction and loss allocated to any Member pursuant to this Section 5.02(a) shall not exceed the maximum amount of such items that can be so allocated without causing such Member to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of any Tax Year or other applicable accounting period. Items of deduction and loss in excess of such limitation shall be allocated to the Members who do not have deficit balances in their Adjusted Capital Accounts, pro rata, in proportion to the amounts that may be so allocated to them without causing them to have such deficit balances.

(b) Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.02(a), the following special allocations will be made in the following order of priority:

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during an applicable accounting period, then each Member will be allocated items of Company income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, for subsequent periods) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). This Section 5.02(b)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any applicable accounting period, each Member who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5) will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2) and (j)(2)(ii). This Section 5.02(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation, or distribution of the type contemplated by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of income and gain will be allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any resulting deficit balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.02(b)(iii) shall be made if and only to the extent that

-43-

such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.02(b)(iii) were not in this Agreement. It is intended that this Section 5.02(b)(iii) qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(iv) Certain Additional Adjustments. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its Interest, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss will be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their Interests in the Company in the event that Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to whom such distribution was made in the event that Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(v) Nonrecourse Deductions. The Nonrecourse Deductions for each Tax Year will be allocated to holders of Common Units in proportion to the relative number of Common Units held.

(vi) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions will be allocated to the Members that bear the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-2) for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable.

(vii) Curative Allocations. The allocations contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02(b), and any allocations required following the proviso in Section 5.02(a), are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704. It is the intent of the Members and the Company that, to the extent possible, all such allocations shall be offset either with other such allocations or with special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.02(b)(vii), so that after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if no such allocations had been made and all items were allocated pursuant to Section 5.02(a) (not including the allocations required following the proviso in Section 5.02(a)).

(viii) Noncompensatory Option. Items of income, gain, loss or deduction resulting from a restatement of the Book Values of Company assets pursuant to clause (b)(iii) of the definition of Book Value shall be allocated among the Members in the manner described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(2).

-44-

(i) Except as provided in Section 5.02(c)(ii) hereof, to the maximum extent possible, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for purposes of any state or local income or franchise tax that follows the federal treatment), each item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction will be allocated among the Members in the same manner as the correlative item of income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts pursuant to this Article V.

(ii) Tax items with respect to any Company asset that has a Book Value that differs from its adjusted tax basis will be allocated among the Members for federal income tax purposes in a manner consistent with the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) so as to take into account such difference utilizing the remedial allocation method under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).

(d) Other Provisions. The Members, their respective Affiliates and Permitted Transferees, and the Company, intend and agree to treat the Preferred Units as equity interests in the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the Company as a partnership, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable law following a final “determination” under Code Section 1313 or as otherwise agreed by all of the Members (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Holdings Member to the extent such treatment is relevant to the treatment of the Company or any holder of a Preferred Unit for any Tax Year or portion thereof in which the Holdings Member, any of its Affiliates or Permitted Transferees, is or was a Member).

11.07 Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict-of-laws rule or principle (whether under the laws of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that might refer the governance or the construction of this Agreement to the law of another jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement or its application to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will not be affected thereby, and such provision will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

11.10 Title to Company Property. All assets shall be deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity, and no Member, individually, shall have any ownership of such property.

11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document. All counterparts will be construed together and constitute the same instrument.

11.12 Electronic Transmissions. Each of the Parties agrees that (a) any signed consent or signed document transmitted by electronic transmission shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original written document, (b) any such consent or document shall be considered to have the same binding and legal effect as an original document and (c) at the request of any Party, any such consent or document shall be re-delivered or re-executed, as appropriate, by the relevant Party or Parties in its original form.

injunctive relief, or any other equitable relief against any threatened or actual breach by a Party without the need to post bond or other security in connection therewith.
