| Section 3. | Demand Registration Rights |
(a) General. At any time following the Lock-Up Period but subject to any pending lock-up arrangement in accordance with Section 13(b), if the Company shall receive from any Demanding Holder a written request (an “Offering Request”) (i) that the Company file a registration statement with respect to any of such Demanding Holder’s Registrable Securities (a “Registration Request”) or (ii) in the event that a Shelf Registration Statement covering such Demanding Holders’ Registrable Securities is already effective, that the Company engage in an underwritten offering (an “Underwriting Request”) in respect of such Demanding Holder’s Registrable Securities, then the Company shall, within three Business Days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and the Company and the Holders shall comply with the notice and participation procedures set forth in Section 4. Subject to the other terms of this Section 3, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect, as soon as reasonably practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of the resale of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered in any Registration Request and/or the underwritten offering of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be offered pursuant to any Underwriting Request. With respect to any Registration Request, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any related Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof and to keep such Registration Statement effective until participating Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in such Registration Statement. The Demanding Holder may request that the Company register the resale or effect an offering of such Registrable Securities on an appropriate form, including a Shelf Registration Statement (so long as the Company is eligible to use Form S-3). The Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall be subject to the following limitations and conditions:
(i) the Company shall not be required to comply with any Offering Request that is received within 90 calendar days after the closing of any underwritten offering effected by one or more Holders or the Company;

(iii) the Company shall not be required to comply with any Offering Request, and may suspend its obligations under this Section 3, as applicable, for the duration of any applicable Blackout Period, following its delivery of written notice thereof to the Holders;
6
(iv) the Company shall not be required to comply with any Registration Request at any time that the Shelf Registration Statement is effective;
(v) the Company shall be entitled to postpone any Offering Request if, in the Company’s good faith judgment, it is not feasible for the Company to proceed with the Offering Request because audited or pro forma financial statements that are required by the Securities Act to be included in any related registration statement or prospectus are then unavailable, until such time as such financial statements are completed or obtained by the Company; provided, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to complete or obtain such financial statements as promptly as reasonably practicable; and
(vi) the Company shall not be required to comply with any Registration Request to file a Form S-1 unless such Registration Request is jointly made by EMG, Xxxxx and Tallgrass KC.
(b) Demand Procedures.
(i) Any Offering Request shall specify: (i) the approximate aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered or offered for sale in such Offering Request, (ii) the intended method of disposition in connection with such Offering Request, to the extent then known and (iii) the identity of the Demanding Holder or Demanding Holders.
(ii) In connection with any Offering Request, the Demanding Holder(s) and Company management shall jointly participate in the process of selecting the investment banking firms that will serve as lead and co-managing underwriters with respect to such underwritten offering. In addition, the Company (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, if the managing underwriter(s) advise the Demanding Holder(s) in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten in a Holder-initiated registration or offering, the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as follows:
(A) first, among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included in the registration or underwritten offering;
(B) second, to the Company; and
(C) third, if there remains availability for additional securities to be included in such registration or underwritten offering, pro rata among any other Persons who have been granted registration rights, or who have requested participation in such registration or underwritten offering.

| Section 4. | Piggyback Registrations and Participation Rights |
(a) General. If, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Company proposes to register the sale of any of its securities or conduct an offering of registered securities for its own account or for the account of any third Person (including any Demanding Holder(s) or other Holders pursuant to this Agreement) on a form which would permit the registration or offering of Registrable Securities, except as otherwise provided herein, the Company will:
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and
(ii) include in such registration or offering, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within seven calendar days after delivery of such written notice from the Company, by any Holders (except that (A) if the managing underwriter(s) or the Person initiating the registration or offering determine that marketing factors require a shorter time period and so inform each Holder in the applicable written notice, such written request or requests must be made within three calendar days and (B) in the case of an “overnight” offering or a “bought deal,” such written request or requests must be made within one Business Day), except as set forth in Section 3(c) or Section 4(b); provided, however, that the Company may withdraw any registration or offering initiated by the Company at any time before any related registration statement becomes effective, or postpone or terminate any offering of securities under such registration statement initiated by the Company, without obligation or liability to any Holder. The absence of any requirement to provide such notice shall have no effect on the rights of any Holder to participate in any offering following such registration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Additionally, the Company shall not have to provide notice of any registration of securities proposed by the Company to any Holder to the extent such Holder does not hold a sufficient number of Registrable Securities to meet the minimum participation level set forth in Section 4(c) of this Agreement.
(b) Underwriting. The piggyback and participation rights of any Holder pursuant to Section 3 or this Section 4 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s acceptance of the terms of, and participation in, the underwriting arrangements as agreed to by the Company and the managing underwriter(s). All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, each Holder, in its capacity as a Holder, shall not be required by any underwriting agreement (or other agreement in connection with such offering) (i) to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, the ownership of such Holder’s Registrable Securities and such
8
Holder’s intended method or methods of disposition and any other representation required by law or (ii) to furnish any indemnity to any Person which is broader than the indemnity furnished by such Holder pursuant to Section 8(b). In the event of any registration or offering initiated by the Company, the Company shall select the underwriters to participate in such registration or offering in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, if the managing underwriter(s) determine that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten in a Company-initiated registration or offering, the Company shall so advise all Holders whose securities would otherwise be registered or offered pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration or underwritten offering shall be so limited and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be allocated as follows:
(i) first, to the Company;
(ii) second, if there remains additional availability for additional Registrable Securities to be included in such registration or underwritten offering, among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included in the registration or underwritten offering; and
(iii) third, if there remains availability for additional securities to be included in such registration or underwritten offering, pro rata among any other Persons who have been granted registration rights, or who have requested participation in such registration or underwritten offering.
If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any underwriting related to any underwritten offering effected pursuant to Section 3 or this Section 4, the Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter(s). If by the withdrawal of such Registrable Securities a greater number of shares of Registrable Securities held by other Holders may be included in such registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the managing underwriter(s)), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included Registrable Securities in the registration or underwritten offering the right to include additional shares of Registrable Securities in the same proportion used in determining the participation limitation in Section 3(c) or this Section 4(b).
(c) Minimum Participation Level. To the extent a Holder has Registrable Securities included in an effective Shelf Registration Statement, such Holder may not exercise its piggyback or participation rights pursuant to this Section 4 unless such Holder requests the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the applicable registration or underwritten offering with a gross anticipated offering price that is equal to or greater than ten million dollars ($10,000,000), unless the Holder’s remaining Registrable Securities have a value less than such ten million dollar ($10,000,000) limit, in which case such Holder may make a single and final request with respect to its remaining Registrable Securities.

The Company and the Holders of the Registrable Securities, in their capacities as Holders, hereby acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by such Holders, the only information furnished or to be furnished to the Company for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or in any amendment, supplement or preliminary materials associated therewith are statements specifically relating to (a) transactions between such Holder and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, (b) the beneficial ownership of TEGP Class A Shares or TEGP Class B Shares held by such Holder and its Affiliates and (c) the name and address of such Holder. If any additional information about such Holder or the plan of distribution (other than for an underwritten offering) is required by law to be disclosed in any such document, then such Holder shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement referred to in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 8(b).
| Section 8. | Indemnification |
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 2, 3 or 4:
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each of the officers, directors, partners and agents of each such Holder and underwriter, and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
14
liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any officer, director, employee, advisor or affiliate thereof of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, officer, director, partner or agent, underwriter or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration or offering by or on behalf of any such Holder or underwriter. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or underwriter or any officer, director or controlling Person of such Holder or underwriter and shall survive the transfer of securities.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder severally, and not jointly, will, if shares of Registrable Securities held by such Person are included in the securities as to which such registration or offering is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, each legal counsel and independent accountant of the Company, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Company’s securities covered by such registration or offering, any Person who controls such underwriter, and any other Holder selling securities in such registration and each of its directors, officers, partners or agents or any Person who controls such Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such underwriter, other Holder, director, officer, partner or agent or controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration or offering, and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such underwriter, other Holder, officer, director, partner or agent or controlling Person in
15
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied); and provided, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 8(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 8 only to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially prejudice the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. No party shall be liable for contribution under this Section 8 except to the extent and under such circumstances as such party would have been liable for indemnification under this Section 8 if such indemnification were enforceable under applicable law.
16
(e) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 8 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any registration or offering provided for under Section 2, Section 3 or Section 4 are in conflict with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, the provisions in such underwriting agreement shall control.
| Section 9. | Rule 144 Reporting |
The Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder following an exchange of Tallgrass Equity Units and TEGP Class B Shares for TEGP Class A Shares to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
| Section 10. | Assignment of Rights |
The provisions hereof will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the Parties hereto, except as otherwise provided herein. Any Holder may Transfer all or a portion of its Registable Securities to another Holder (to the extent such Transfer is otherwise permissible under this Agreement) in connection with an assignment of its rights hereunder with respect thereto. In the event of any Transfer by any Holder of all or a portion of its Registrable Securities to any third party other than a Holder, all rights under this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities so Transferred shall cease and terminate; provided, however, that the registration rights granted hereby may be transferred to any Person to whom a Holder transfers Registrable Securities pursuant to a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with the terms of the Tallgrass Equity LLC Agreement; provided further, that any such transferee shall not be entitled to rights pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4 hereof unless such transferee of registration rights hereunder agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof and executes and delivers to the Company an acknowledgment and agreement to such effect; and provided further that a Demanding Holder’s right to make a single and final request with respect to its remaining Registrable Securities may not be assigned to any transferee unless the transferee acquires Registrable Securities having a fair market value at the time of transfer of the last prior transfer of Registrable Securities, of at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000). Any Holder transferring Registrable Securities shall provide notice of any such transfer to the Company, including the identity and notice information for the transferee.
17
In the event that EMG, Xxxxx, Tallgrass KC, Xxxxx or Xxxxx effect a Transfer in accordance with the terms of the Tallgrass Equity LLC Agreement, notwithstanding any such Transfer, EMG, Xxxxx, Tallgrass KC, Xxxxx or Xxxxx, as applicable, shall act as the representative of such transferees for all purposes under this Agreement and thereafter remain the notice party for all purposes under this Agreement with respect to such transferees, and EMG, Xxxxx, Tallgrass KC, Xxxxx or Xxxxx, as applicable, shall be responsible for providing notices to, and delivering response from, such transferees.
| Section 11. | Amendment of Registration Rights |
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities.
Annex A hereto may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Company to reflect any Transfers that result in Registrable Securities no longer qualifying as Registrable Securities or Transfers involving an assignment of Registrable Securities effected in accordance with Section 10, and any such amendment or supplement shall not be considered an amendment of this Agreement. Upon the reasonable request of the Company from time to time, each Holder hereby agrees to provide a certification to the Company as to the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder.
| Section 12. | Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights |
From and after the date of this Agreement and so long as the original Parties to this Agreement continue to own at least ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Securities initially subject to this Agreement, the Company shall not, without approval of the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are equivalent to or more favorable than the registration rights granted to holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, or which would reduce the amount of Registrable Securities the holders can include in any registration filed or offering effected pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 hereof, unless such rights are subordinate to those of the Holders of Registrable Securities.
| Section 13. | Transfer Restrictions; “Market Stand-off” Agreement |
(a) During the Lock-Up Period, each Holder hereby agrees not to, and hereby agrees to cause its respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, Transfer any TEGP Class A Shares issuable upon exchange of their Tallgrass Equity Units and TEGP Class B Shares; provided that the foregoing Persons may effect any Transfer to a Permitted Transferee (as such term is defined in the Tallgrass Equity LLC Agreement) so long as any transferee in such Transfer agrees in writing to be subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 13 for the remaining term of the Lock-Up Period.
(b) In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder hereby agrees, subject to and following its receipt of notice from
18
the Company, that it (i) will not, to the extent requested by the Company and any underwriter, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities, except securities included in such offering or certain Transfers of securities to Permitted Transferees pursuant to the Tallgrass Equity LLC Agreement, during the 45 calendar days (or such other time period as the underwriters may reasonably request) beginning on the date of a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed in connection with the pricing of such offering, and (ii) will enter into agreements with the underwriter in connection with any such sale to give effect to the foregoing. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each such Holder (and the shares or securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such 45-calendar-day period (or such other time period as the underwriters may reasonably request).
| Section 14. | Miscellaneous |
(a) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing or be delivered via e-mail (which shall also constitute written notice) and shall be deemed to have been duly given and received when, if in writing, delivered by overnight courier or hand delivery, when sent via e-mail, receipt of such e-mail is confirmed by the recipient thereof (either by e-mail or orally), when sent by fax, or three Business Days after mailing if sent by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) postage prepaid, to the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for any Party as shall be specified by like notices, provided that notices of a change of address shall be effective only upon receipt thereof).

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(c) Headings. The section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
(d) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
19
(e) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the Parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the Parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the Parties as a final expression of their agreement, and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein, with respect to the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to Registrable Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior written or oral agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter.
(g) Securities Held by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or its subsidiaries shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.
(h) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate when no shares of Registrable Securities remain outstanding; provided that Sections 8 and 14 shall survive any termination hereof.
(i) Aggregation of Registrable Securities. All Registrable Securities held or acquired by Persons who are Affiliates of one another shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement.
(j) Specific Performance. The Parties hereto recognize and agree that money damages may be insufficient to compensate the Holders of any Registrable Securities for breaches by the Company of the terms hereof and, consequently, that the equitable remedy of specific performance of the terms hereof will be available in the event of any such breach.
