GAS PROCESSING CONTRACT
This Gas Gathering and Processing Contract (“Contract”) is entered as of August 1, 2011, between DCP MIDSTREAM, LP (“Supplier”) and DCP MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, LP
(“Processor”).
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. COMMITMENT.
(a) Plant Construction. Processor will cause construction of a new nominal 200 MMcf/Day capacity cryogenic gas processing plant at a 161 acre site in the Southeast Quarter of Survey No. One,
Block No. One of the International & Great Northern Railroad Company Survey, Abstract 000, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx on property previously owned by Supplier (“Site”), to be known as the Eagle Plant
(“Plant”). Supplier has transferred the Plant Site property to its former Affiliate DCP Eagle Plant LLC (“DCP Eagle”) by the terms of a Special Warranty Deed dated August 1, 2011. As of December 29, 2010, Supplier
procured from Valerus Compression Services, LP (“Valerus”) the central processing unit that is to form the core processing unit for the new Plant (the “Eagle Plant Skid”). The Eagle Plant Skid was constructed in 2009 by T.H.
Xxxxxxx and has not previously been placed into operation. Supplier transferred the Eagle Plant Skid to DCP Eagle by a Xxxx of Sale also dated as of August 1, 2011. Supplier sold all of the issued and outstanding ownership interests of DCP
Eagle to Processor under a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated August 1, 2011. Processor agrees to promptly cause DCP Eagle to install the Eagle Plant Skid and to promptly construct the remainder of the Plant at the Site. The plans and
construction activities for installation of the Eagle Plant Skid and all other Plant components, including all specifications and contractor selections, shall be subject to approval by Supplier. Without limitation, the additional Plant components to
be installed will include raw gas delivery point connections with gathering systems of Supplier and the south Texas line of Trunkline Gas Company, LP (“Trunkline”), inlet gas measurement and analysis, dehydration, mol sieves, compression,
Residue Gas delivery points to the facilities of Trunkline, a NGLs pipeline connection with either DCP Sandhills Pipeline, LLC or Wilbreeze Pipeline, LLC, and all other components and equipment deemed necessary or appropriate by the parties. The
Plant design will be consistent with those stated in Exhibit D. Any changes in Exhibit D Plant design specifications and all direct contractor selections will be subject to approval by Supplier. Processor will use all reasonable efforts to cause DCP
Eagle to complete construction of the Plant and to place it into operation no later than November 1, 2012. On or before the In Service Date, Processor will assign this Contract to DCP Eagle. Processor will remain responsible following the
assignment for performance of this Contract notwithstanding the assignment.
(b) Supplier’s Commitment. Supplier owns and controls quantities of
processable gas handled in various south and central Texas gas gathering systems owned by Supplier or its Affiliates. Supplier has agreements with Trunkline to enable deliveries to the Plant of south Texas gas owned or controlled by Supplier and
others. Supplier will use its good faith reasonable efforts to deliver volumes of raw gas to Processor for processing, but Supplier may deliver raw gas to its other area gas processing plants in its sole discretion. Supplier does not guaranty
delivery for processing of any specific minimum quantity of raw gas. Supplier retains title to and may remove from its gathering system and retain all condensate, drips, and Inferior Liquids from the gathering system prior to delivery of raw gas for
processing, and Supplier may handle, sell, and dispose of gathering system liquids independently from this Contract.
(c)
Processor’s Commitment. Processor commits and will cause DCP Eagle to reserve the capacity of the Plant available to Supplier, and within the Plant’s capabilities Processor will receive, process, and return to Supplier or for
Supplier’s benefit all Residue Gas, NGLs, and any other marketable products recovered in Plant operations attributable to gas delivered by Supplier. Processor may undertake to process gas for third parties at the Plant only on a fully
interruptible basis using any capacity not being used from Day to Day for the processing of Supplier’s gas.
(d)
Exhibits. Definitions and General Terms and Conditions included in this Contract are attached as Exhibit A. Certain processing fee adjustment provisions are stated in Exhibit B. Delivery and Redelivery Points are stated in Exhibits C-1
and C-2. Plant design specifications are stated in Exhibit D. All Exhibits referenced herein are attached and incorporated by reference.
2. DELIVERY AND REDELIVERY POINTS. Supplier’s Plant inlet Delivery Points and Plant outlet Redelivery Points are stated in Exhibits C-1 and C-2, respectively. Title to the portion of
the gas delivered that is to be used by Processor for Plant fuel use and Supplier’s pro rata share of any Plant unaccountable volumes will pass to and vest in Processor at the Delivery Points. Supplier otherwise reserves and retains title to
all gas delivered and to the Residue Gas and NGLs attributable to Supplier’s deliveries.
3. DELIVERY AND
REDELIVERY PRESSURES. Supplier will deliver or cause delivery of the gas at the Delivery Points at a pressure sufficient to enable it to enter Processor’s Facilities against the working pressure at reasonably uniform rates of delivery.
The design of the
2
gathering system and Plant are for delivery pressures at 500 psig at the Plant inlet. Changes from this operating standard must be agreed by both parties. Processor will deliver Residue Gas at
the Redelivery Points at a pressure sufficient to enable them to enter the downstream pipelines against the working pressure at reasonably uniform rates of delivery, not to exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure established by the
downstream pipelines, up to a maximum pressure for Residue Gas of 1100 psig and 1345 psig for NGLs.
4. QUANTITY.
(a) Firm Quantity Deliveries. Supplier may deliver, and within Plant capacity, operating conditions, and capabilities Processor shall take all of Supplier’s gas tendered by Processor at the Delivery Points. Processor will use
commercially reasonable efforts to operate its facilities in an effort to maintain consistent takes of all available quantities.
(b) Supplier to take and market Residue Gas and NGLs. Supplier shall take its share of Residue Gas and NGLs in kind timely at the Redelivery Points. The parties recognize that Processor has
no Residue Gas storage and very little if any NGL storage. Processor agrees to deliver to or for the account of Supplier Supplier’s Residue Gas and allocable NGLs. Supplier’s must receive and transport or cause to be received and
transported when produced and available the Residue Gas and NGLs allocable to Supplier’s raw gas deliveries. Supplier is solely responsible for all arrangements for receipt and transportation of its in kind Residue Gas, any bypassed gas, and
NGLs. Supplier shall make or cause its customers to make all arrangements with the downstream gas and NGL pipelines, and shall ensure that its desired nominations for downstream transportation are properly and timely placed with the downstream
pipelines in accordance with their nomination and confirmation procedures. Each party will endeavor to provide the other party prompt notice of scheduled maintenance, construction, and other material operational events (other than weather) that will
affect volumes materially, including but not limited to facility outages and operational changes.
(c) Volumes Not Taken
or Marketed by Supplier. If Supplier fails, for any reason, to take in kind or otherwise dispose of all or any part of Supplier’s share of Residue Gas or NGLs, to avoid curtailing or discontinuing operation of the Plant, Processor shall
have the option, but not the obligation, to sell or otherwise dispose in any manner necessary Supplier’s share of Residue Gas or NGLs not timely taken in kind or otherwise disposed of by Supplier; provided that Processor shall account to and
timely pay Supplier for any proceeds received by Processor from a sale or disposition less reasonable transportation, storage, fractionation, and other charges and marketing fees paid by Processor to third parties. Supplier recognizes these sales
may be distress sales at below market prices.
3
(d) Gas Not Taken By Processor. Supplier may dispose of any gas not taken by
Processor at the Delivery Points for any reason, including events of Force Majeure, subject to Processor’s right to resume takes at any subsequent time.
5. PROCESSING CONSIDERATION.
5.1 Processing
Consideration. As full consideration for Processor’s receipt, processing, redelivery, and accounting for the gas and all its components delivered to Processor each month, Supplier shall pay Processor:
(a) Commencing on the In Service Date, a monthly firm processing capacity reservation charge of $[***] per Mcf times [***]
MMcf/Day ($[***]/day) subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.1(e) and (f) below (“Demand Charge”). Supplier shall not be entitled to a suspension or adjustment in the Demand Charge due to: (i) an event of
Force Majeure claimed by Supplier, (ii) any failure of supply or inability on the part of Trunkline to deliver gas to the Plant, (iii) the inability of downstream service providers to accept gas or NGLs conforming to the quality
specifications, or (iv) a downstream Force Majeure event.
(b) A throughput fee of $[***]per Mcf of gas delivered
by Supplier to Processor for processing at the Plant, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.1(e) below (“Throughput Fee”).
(c) A monthly electricity cost recovery payment of the actual amount of all electricity costs incurred by Processor for operation of the Plant for the month times the fraction whose numerator is the
month’s gas quantities supplied by Supplier and whose denominator is the month’s gas quantities supplied to the Plant by all persons making deliveries to the Plant including Supplier.
(d) The fees under (a) and (b) above will be adjusted on the first anniversary of the In Service Date and on each annual
anniversary date thereafter by a percentage equal to [***] of the annual percentage of change in the Producer Price Index – Finished Goods, Unadjusted published by U.S. Department of Labor or its successor (“PPI”), comparing
the latest published data with the comparable data for the previous year, provided the Demand Charge and Throughput Fee shall never be less than the initial amounts set for them in Section 5.1(a) and (b).
(e) The Demand Charge and Throughput Fee shall be adjusted as of the In Service Date based on the actual construction cost of the Plant
as set forth in Exhibit B.
(f) The Demand Charge shall be reduced for any Day in which the gas volumes delivered by Supplier
are curtailed in whole or in part due to the unavailability of the Plant for reasons of Force Majeure, maintenance, a casualty loss, or otherwise; provided the lack of availability of processing
4
service exceeds more than 12 hours in a Day and occurs for more than 12 Days on a cumulative basis over the Contract year beginning as of the In Service Date or its current anniversary. Once the
cumulative 12 Days is reached in a Contract year, the Demand Charge will be reduced for each applicable Day of the remainder of the Contract year by a fraction whose numerator is the negative difference between [***] MMcf/Day and the
Day’s volume actually processed and whose denominator is [***] MMcf, times the Section 5.1(a) Demand Charge component of $[***] per Mcf as adjusted for the current Contract year.
5.2 In Kind Redeliveries. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Contract, Processor will
redeliver in kind to Supplier or its nominee at the applicable Redelivery Point 100% of the Residue Gas and NGLs attributable to Supplier’s gas deliveries. No separate payment or value calculation is to be made under this Contract for helium,
sulfur, CO2, or other non-hydrocarbons.
5.3 Allocation of Residue Gas and NGLs. If Processor has no third party customers, Processor will allocate all Residue Gas
and NGLs from the Plant to Supplier. If Processor has third party customers delivering gas for processing during the month, Processor will determine the Residue Gas and NGLs attributable to Supplier using the following definitions and procedures.
Additional definitions are in Section A of Exhibit A. From time to time upon notice to Supplier, Processor may make changes and adjustments in its allocation methods as necessary to improve accuracy or efficiency.
(a) NGLs Allocable to Supplier. Processor will determine the quantity of each NGL component allocable to
Supplier’s gas by multiplying the total quantity of each NGL component recovered at the Plant by a fraction. The numerator will be the gallons of that NGL component contained in the gas delivered by Supplier, determined by chromatographic
analysis or other accepted method in the industry, and the denominator will be the total gallons of that component contained in all gas delivered to Processor from sources connected directly at the inlet to Processor’s Facilities.
(b) Residue Gas Allocable to Supplier.
(i) Processor will determine the MMBtus of “Residue Gas allocable to Supplier” by multiplying the MMBtus
of “Residue Gas available” from Processor’s Facilities by a fraction. The numerator will be the “theoretical MMBtus of Residue Gas remaining from Supplier’s gas” delivered by Supplier, and the denominator will be the
total of the theoretical MMBtus of Residue Gas remaining from all gas delivered to Processor from the common sources connected to Processor’s Facilities. “Residue Gas available” means all remaining Residue Gas available from
Processor’s Facilities, net of gas used for the operation of Processor’s Facilities (including Plant fuel use and lost/unaccounted for volumes).
“Theoretical MMBtus of Residue Gas remaining from Supplier’s gas” means the sum of the MMBtus of methane and heavier hydrocarbons contained in Supplier’s gas, determined by
chromatographic analysis or other accepted method in the industry, less the MMBtus of recovered NGLs attributable to Supplier’s gas.
5
5.4 Taxes and Assessments. Processor may increase its fees as necessary to
recover the cost of any tax, assessment, or other charge imposed by a governing authority on Processor directly relating to the handling of Supplier’s gas or to the ownership or operation of Processor’s Facilities, other than ad valorem
taxes and taxes based on Processor’s income or right to do business.
5.5 Plant Operations. Processor
reserves the right temporarily to suspend, alter, or modify Plant operations at any time and from time to time for any reason without liability or obligation to Supplier, subject to Section 5.1(a) and (f). However, Processor will operate the
Plant as a prudent operator, consistently with the Plant design in Exhibit D, and in ways that maximize the value of Supplier’s Gas and NGLs; including, but not limited to preventive maintenance, promptly making needed repairs, and acting in
accordance with Supplier’s reasonable requests regarding any bypass of gas around the Plant and operations in an ethane rejection mode rather than in an ethane recovery mode.
5.6 New Delivery Points, Plant Modifications, and Expansions. Supplier may request that Processor construct new Residue Gas
and NGLs Delivery Points, other Plant modifications, and Plant expansions from time to time, and Processor will promptly make the requested changes in return for an adjustment in the Processing Fees that appropriately compensates Processor for its
incremental investment in those projects, to be negotiated in good faith between the parties at the time in a manner consistent with the initial negotiation of this Contract.
6. TERM. This Contract shall be in force for a primary term of 15 years from the In Service Date, and from year to year thereafter until canceled by either party as of the end of the primary
term, or any subsequent anniversary, on three years’ advance written notice.
7. ADDRESSES AND NOTICES.
Either party may give notices to the other party by first class mail postage prepaid, by overnight delivery service, or by facsimile with receipt confirmed at the following addresses or other addresses furnished by a party by written notice. Unless
Supplier objects in writing, Processor may also use Supplier’s current address for invoices for notice purposes. Any telephone numbers below are solely for information and are not for Contract notices. The parties opt out of electronic delivery
of notices and amendments under this Contract, except that notices and hand-signed amendments may be delivered by facsimile with receipt confirmed as stated above.

will either arrange promptly to provide compression at a reasonable fee and actual fuel charge to be negotiated between the parties.
C. RESERVATIONS OF SUPPLIER
Omitted.
D. METERING AND MEASUREMENT
D.1 Processor to Install Meters. Processor will own, maintain, and operate orifice meters or other measuring devices of standard make at or near the Delivery Points. Except as otherwise
stated in this Section D, Processor will install orifice meters or other measurement devices and compute volumes in accordance with accepted industry practice. A party providing compression facilities will also provide sufficient pulsation dampening
equipment to prevent pulsation from affecting measurement at the Delivery Points. The parties will use electronic recording devices. Supplier will have
A - 1
access to Processor’s metering equipment at reasonable hours, but only Processor will calibrate,
adjust, operate, and maintain it.
D.2 Unit of Volume. The unit of volume will be one cubic foot of gas at a base temperature of
60° F. and at a pressure base of 14.73 psia. Computations of volumes will follow industry accepted practice.
D.3 Pressure,
Temperature. Processor may measure the atmospheric pressure or may assume the atmospheric pressure to be 14.7 psia. Processor may determine the gas temperature by using a recording thermometer; otherwise, the temperature will be assumed to
be 60° F.
D.4 Check Meters. Supplier may install, maintain, and operate in accordance with accepted industry practice at
its own expense pressure regulators and check measuring equipment of standard make using separate taps. Check meters shall not interfere with operation of Processor’s equipment. Processor will have access to Supplier’s check measuring
equipment at all reasonable hours, but only Supplier will calibrate, adjust, operate, and maintain it. If Supplier chooses not to install check measurement, Processor will give Supplier access to data for Supplier’s SCADA.
D.5 Meter Tests. At least monthly, Processor will verify the accuracy of Processor’s measuring equipment, and Supplier will verify the
accuracy of any check measuring equipment. If Supplier or Processor notifies the other that it desires a special test of any measuring equipment, they will cooperate to secure a prompt verification of the accuracy of the equipment. If either party
at any time observes a variation between the delivery meter and the check meter, it will promptly notify the other, and both will then cooperate to secure an immediate verification of the accuracy of the equipment. Processor will give Supplier
reasonable advance notice of the time of all special tests and calibrations of meters and of sampling for determinations of gas composition and quality, so that Supplier may have representatives present to witness tests and sampling or make joint
tests and obtain samples with its own equipment. Supplier will give reasonable advance notice to Processor of the time of tests and calibrations of any check meters and of any sampling by Supplier for determination of gas composition and quality.
D.6 Correction of Errors. If at any time any of the measuring or testing equipment is found out of service or registering
inaccurately in any percentage, the measuring party will adjusted it promptly to read accurately within the limits prescribed by the manufacturer. If any measuring equipment is found to be inaccurate or out of service by an amount exceeding the
greater of (i) 2.0 percent at a recording corresponding to the average hourly rate of flow for the period since the last test, or (ii) 100 Mcf per month, the measuring party will correct previous readings to zero error for any known or
agreed period. Processor will determine the volume of gas delivered during that period by the first feasible of the following methods:
(i) Using the data recorded by any check measuring equipment if registering accurately;
(ii) Correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration,
test, or mathematical calculation; or
(iii) Using deliveries under similar conditions during a period when the equipment was
registering accurately.
No adjustment will be made for inaccuracies unless they exceed the greater of (i) 1.0 percent of affected
volumes, or (ii) 100 Mcf per month.
D.7 Meter Records. The parties will preserve for a period of at least two years all
test data, charts, and similar measurement records. The parties will raise metering questions as soon as practicable after the time of production. No party will have any obligation to preserve metering records for more than two years except to the
extent that a metering question has been raised in writing and remains unresolved.
E. DETERMINATION OF GAS
COMPOSITION, GRAVITY, AND
HEATING VALUE
Processor will obtain a
representative samples of Supplier’s gas delivered at each Delivery Point using on-line chromatography. By chromatography or other accepted method in the industry, Processor will determine the composition, gravity, and gross heating value of
the hydrocarbon components of Supplier’s gas in Btu per cubic foot on a dry basis at standard conditions, then adjust the result for the water vapor content of the gas (by either the volume or Btu content method) using an industry accepted
practice. No heating value will be credited for Btus in H2S
or other non-hydrocarbon components. Processor will make the first determination of Btu content for Supplier’s deliveries within a reasonable time after deliveries of gas begin.
F. QUALITY OF GAS
F.1 Quality Specifications. The gas delivered and redelivered shall be merchantable natural gas, at all times complying with the following
quality requirements. The gas shall be commercially free of crude oil, water in the liquid phase, brine, air, dust, gums, gum-forming constituents, bacteria, and other objectionable liquids and solids, and not contain more than:

determination unless it shows the original test or determination to have been materially inaccurate.
F.3 Separation Equipment.
Supplier will install condensate receiving and stabilization equipment immediately upstream of the Delivery Points.
| F.4 |
Rights as to Off Specification Gas. |
If any of the gas delivered by Supplier fails to meet the quality specifications stated in this Section, Processor may at its option accept delivery of the gas or discontinue or curtail taking of gas at
any Delivery Point whenever its quality does not conform to the quality specifications. If Processor accepts delivery of off specification gas from Supplier or incurs costs relating to inferior gas quality in its gathering system, Processor may
charge or deduct from the proceeds otherwise payable a reasonable fee for monitoring the gas quality and treating and handling the gas. Processor typically adjusts gas quality deduction levels annually, but may do so more often if needed.
G. BILLING AND PAYMENT
G.1 Statement and Payment Date. Processor will render to Supplier on or before the last Day of each month a statement showing for the preceding month:
| (a) |
the volumes of gas delivered by Supplier, |
| (b) |
Supplier’s MMBtu quantities of Residue Gas, |
| (c) |
Supplier’s NGL gallons by component, |
| (d) |
the status of the cumulative imbalance between Supplier’s or its nominees’ taking in kind of Supplier’s allocable Residue Gas and NGLs, if any, and
|
| (e) |
any quality fees due to Processor. |
Supplier’s payment to Processor will be due within 10 Days of issuance of the statement as to all gas delivered during the preceding month. As
between the parties, late payments and recoupments or refunds from Supplier will carry simple interest at the lower of (a) the prime rate posted at noon on the first Day of the month in which the delinquency occurs by X.X. Xxxxxx
Xxxxx & Co., New York, New York, plus 1%, per annum or (b) the maximum lawful interest rate; provided that no interest will accrue as to monthly principal amounts of less than $1,000 due for less than one year when paid. The
parties waive any rights to differing interest rates. Except as limited in Section G.2 below, Processor may recover any overpayments or collect any amounts due from Supplier to Processor for any reason at any time under this or other transactions by
deducting them from any proceeds payable to Supplier or its Affiliates.
| G.2 |
Audit Rights; Time Limit to Assert Claims. |
(a) Each party will have the right during reasonable business hours to examine the books, records and charts of the other party to the extent necessary to verify performance of this Contract and the
accuracy of any statement, charge, or computation upon execution of a reasonable confidentiality agreement. If any audit examination or review of the party’s own records reveals an inaccuracy in any payment, Processor will promptly make the
appropriate adjustment.
(b) No adjustment for any billing or payment shall be made, and payments shall be final after the lapse of two
years from their due date except as to matters that either party has noted in a specific written objection to the other party in writing during the two year period, unless within the two year period Processor has made the appropriate correction.
However, Supplier’s responsibilities for severance taxes and third party liabilities and related interest are not affected by this subsection.
(c) No party will have any right to recoup or recover prior overpayments or underpayments that result from errors that occur in spite of good faith performance if the amounts involved do not exceed
$10/month/meter. Either party may require prospective correction of such errors.
A - 3
| G.3 |
Lack of Payment; Creditworthiness. |
(a) If Supplier is in arrears in its payments, or is otherwise in breach of this Contract, upon ten Days advance written notice Processor may suspend
services under this Contract unless payment is forthcoming within the notice period. If Supplier remains in default after notice to pay or otherwise perform as to any fee or imbalance, or if Processor is insecure of Supplier’s performance,
without prejudice to other remedies Processor may (i) refuse to receive or deliver gas, (ii) suspend performance pending adequate assurance of payments, (iii) demand an irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, or other reasonable
security for payment, (iv) require advance payment in cash or payment on a more frequent billing cycle than monthly, (v) collect any amounts due from Supplier to Processor or its Affiliates for any reason at any time under this or other
transactions by deducting them from any proceeds payable to Supplier or Affiliates of Supplier, or (vi) take other action as Processor deems reasonable under the circumstances to protect its interests.
(b) Processor may also require Supplier at any time to supply Processor credit information, including but not limited to bank references, financial
statements, and names of persons with whom Processor may make reasonable inquiry into Supplier’s creditworthiness and obtain adequate assurance of Supplier’s solvency and ability to perform.
(c) Supplier hereby grants Processor a security interest in gas owned or controlled by Supplier in Processor’s possession to secure payment of all
fees and other amounts due under this Contract, and following a Supplier default. Processor may foreclose this possessory security interest in any reasonable manner. Upon request Supplier will execute a UCC-1 or similar Financing Statement suitable
for recording describing this security interest and lien.
(d) If Supplier in good faith disputes the amount of any billing, Supplier shall
nevertheless pay to Processor the amounts it concedes to be correct and provide Processor an explanation and documentation supporting Supplier’s position regarding the disputed billing. Processor may then continue service for a reasonable time
pending resolution of the dispute.
G.4 Metering Records Availability. Processor is not required to furnish
gas volume records relating to electronic recording devices other than daily volume information except to the extent that there are indications the meter was not operating properly.
H. FORCE MAJEURE
H.1
Suspension of Performance. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Contract, if either party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by Force Majeure to carry out its obligations under this Contract, other than to make payments

claiming suspension and which by the exercise of reasonable diligence the party is unable to prevent or overcome.
H.3 Labor Matters
Exception. The settlement of strikes or lockouts will be entirely within the discretion of the party having the difficulty, and settlement of strikes, lockouts, or other labor disturbances is not required when the affected party considers it
inadvisable.
I. WARRANTY OF TITLE
