(c)Upon receipt of the Offering Notice, the Crestwood Member will have 30 days to make an irrevocable offer to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Units at a specified price by delivering a written notice (a “ROFO Offer”) to the Holdings Member with such details.  If the Holdings Member provides written notice within 30 days of receiving the ROFO Offer, then both parties shall be bound and the purchase of the Offered Units shall occur at the price set forth in the applicable ROFO Offer within 60 days after delivery of such acceptance.

(d)If (i) the Crestwood Member does not deliver a ROFO Offer within the aforementioned 30 day period, (ii) the Holdings Member does not elect timely to accept a ROFO Offer or (iii) the Holdings Member receives a ROFO Offer but (A) the Holdings Member does not receive payment in full of the purchase price for all of the Offered Units within the aforementioned 60 days (provided that such failure to receive payment is not the result of a breach by the Holdings Member of its obligations to consummate the sale of the Offered Units) or (B) the Transfer of all of the Offered Units does not occur for any reason, including the failure to obtain any governmental approvals, but other than due to a breach by the Holdings Member of its obligation to consummate the sale of the Offered Units, then the Holdings Member may, during the 180-day period thereafter (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), Transfer all, but not less than all, of the Offered Units to any Person (subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.02(b), Section 3.02(d) and Section 3.06); provided that, solely if the Holdings Member received a ROFO Offer but did not accept the ROFO Offer, such Transfer is subject to a price greater than the price set forth in the ROFO Offer and other terms and conditions in the aggregate no more favorable to the transferee than those set forth in the ROFO Offer.

(e)If the Holdings Member does not Transfer the Offered Units within such 180 day period (as extended in accordance with Section 3.03(d)), then the Holdings Member must again comply with the provisions set forth in this Section 3.03, to the extent applicable, prior to making any subsequent Transfer of all of its Units other than to a Permitted Transferee.

(f)The Members will take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the sale contemplated by this Section 3.03, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate.

3.04Right of First Offer on Indirect Holdings Member Transfer.

(a)Prior to consummating or permitting the consummation of any Transfer of any equity interest in the Holdings Member or in any of its direct or indirect owners (any such Transfer, other than any Excluded Indirect Holdings Member Transfer, an “Indirect Holdings Member Transfer”), the Holdings Member must first deliver a written offer to the Crestwood Member (the “Indirect Transfer Offering Notice”) of a number of each class or series of Units it holds equal to the product of the aggregate Units of such class or series it holds multiplied by the percentage of equity interests (as of immediately prior to the consummation of such the Indirect Holdings Member Transfer) in the Holdings Member associated with such class or series of Units held directly or indirectly by the member of the Holdings Member whose change in direct or indirect ownership would cause the Indirect Holdings Member Transfer (the number of Units represented by such product, the “Indirect Transfer Offered Units”), in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 3.04.

(b)Upon receipt of the Indirect Transfer Offering Notice, the Crestwood Member will have 30 days to make an irrevocable offer to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Indirect Transfer Offered Units at a specified price by delivering a written notice (an “Indirect Transfer ROFO Offer”) to the Holdings Member with such details.  If the Holdings Member provides written notice to the Crestwood Member accepting the Indirect Transfer ROFO Offer within 30 days of receipt of the Indirect Transfer ROFO Offer, then both Parties shall be bound and the purchase of the Indirect Transfer Offered Units shall occur at the price set forth in the applicable Indirect Transfer ROFO Offer within 60 days after delivery of such acceptance.

(c)If (i) the Crestwood Member does not deliver an Indirect Transfer ROFO Offer within the aforementioned 30 day period, (ii) the Holdings Member does not elect timely to accept an Indirect Transfer ROFO Offer or (iii) the Holdings Member receives an Indirect Transfer ROFO Offer but (A) the Holdings Member does not receive payment in full of the purchase price for all of the Indirect Transfer Offered Units within the aforementioned 60 days (provided that such failure to receive payment is not the result of a breach by the Holdings Member of its obligations to consummate the sale of the Indirect Transfer Offered Units) or (B) the Indirect Holdings Member Transfer does not occur for any reason, including the failure to obtain timely any required governmental approvals, but other than due to a breach by the Holdings Member of its obligation to consummate the sale of the Indirect Transfer Offered Units, then the Holdings Member may, during the 180-day period thereafter (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), consummate or permit the consummation of such Indirect Holdings Member Transfer (subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.02(b), Section 3.02(d), and Section 3.06); provided that, solely if the Holdings Member received but did not accept an Indirect Transfer ROFO Offer, then the value ascribed to the Indirect Transfer Offered Units in the Indirect Holdings Member Transfer must be equal or greater than the price set forth in the Indirect Transfer ROFO Offer.

(d)If the applicable Indirect Holdings Member Transfer does not occur within such 180 day period (as extended in accordance with Section 3.04(c)), then the Holdings Member

-24-

must again comply with the provisions set forth in this Section 3.04, to the extent applicable, prior to consummating or permitting the consummation of another Indirect Holdings Member Transfer. 

(e)The Members will take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the sale contemplated by this Section 3.04, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate.

3.05Company Sale Procedure.

(a)Subject to the rights of Crestwood Member pursuant to this Article III, including Section 3.03, and Article IV, at any time after December 31, 2023, Holdings Member will have the right to cause the Company to effect a Company Sale in accordance with this Section 3.05. If Holdings Member desires to initiate a Company Sale, it must first deliver written notice to Crestwood Member (the “Negotiation Period Notice”) and for a period of three months after delivery of such Negotiation Period Notice (the “Negotiation Period”), Holdings Member and Crestwood Member shall negotiate in good faith with each other for the purchase by Crestwood Member of all of Holdings Member’s Units. On or prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period, Crestwood Member may deliver a written offer (the “Crestwood Offer”) to purchase all (and not less than all) of Holdings Member’s Units, which Crestwood Offer shall be irrevocable until at least the later of 30 days from receipt by the Holdings Member thereof or the expiration of the Negotiation Period and shall set forth Crestwood Member’s proposed purchase price (the “Crestwood Floor Price”). If Crestwood Member makes a Crestwood Offer within the Negotiation Period, Holdings Member shall deliver written notice to Crestwood Member within the later of (a) 30 days after receipt of the Crestwood Offer or (b) the expiration of the Negotiation Period stating whether it desires to accept the Crestwood Offer or to reject the Crestwood Offer and instead initiate the Company Sale process (the “Holdings Member Response”). If the Holdings Member Response timely accepts the Crestwood Offer, then (a) both Parties shall be bound and the purchase by Crestwood Member of Holdings Member’s Units shall occur at the Crestwood Floor Price within 60 days after delivery of such acceptance in the Holdings Member Response and Holdings Member shall be required to make no other representations other than in relation to its due organization, title to the securities it is selling, its authority and capacity to effect the transfer and the absence of any conflict under law or its organizational documents or any contract that would prevent or delay the transfer and (b) the Crestwood Floor Price shall be paid by Crestwood Member in cash or CEQP Units, valued at the CEQP Unit Price calculated as of close of business on the day prior to the closing of such sale or a combination thereof; provided that (A) the option for Crestwood Member to fund the purchase price with CEQP Units shall not be available if any of the CEQP Unit Issuance Limitations would be triggered in such proposed issuance, (B) CEQP shall comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such CEQP Units so issued, and (C) that the number of CEQP Units issued pursuant to this Section 3.05(a) shall not exceed the Maximum Redemption Units.

(b)If, in the Holdings Member Response, the Holdings Member rejects the Crestwood Offer, or if no Crestwood Offer is timely delivered by Crestwood Member, then Holdings Member may cause the Company to effect a Company Sale, provided that (a) the definitive agreements related to such Company Sale (“Company Sale Definitive Agreements”) shall be

-25-

executed within fifteen (15) months after the date on which the Negotiation Period Notice was delivered (the “Marketing Period”) and (b) only if Crestwood Member has timely submitted a Crestwood Offer, the consideration received in the Company Sale by Holdings Member (or distributed in accordance with this Agreement to Holdings Member in the case of a sale of the assets of the Company) must exceed the Crestwood Floor Price by 10%. If the Company Sale Definitive Agreements are not executed during the Marketing Period or if Holdings Member terminates the Company Sale prior to the expiration of the Marketing Period and provides notice of such termination to Crestwood Member, (i) Holdings Member shall return to Crestwood Member all documents in the possession of Holdings Member executed by Crestwood Member in connection with the proposed Company Sale, and all the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement or otherwise applicable at such time with respect to such Units owned by Crestwood Member shall again be in effect and (ii) Holdings Member shall not have the right to initiate another Company Sale process (which would initiate, for the avoidance of doubt, a new Negotiation Period) for a period of 12 months after the expiration of the Marketing Period or, if earlier, the termination of such Company Sale. Holdings Member shall use reasonable efforts to prioritize transactions with cash and marketable securities constituting the consideration to be received for a Company Sale.

(c)Holdings Member shall manage the Company Sale process and the Company and Crestwood Member shall cooperate as reasonably requested by Holdings Member, including by participating in management presentations and providing information related to the Company and reasonably requested by Holdings Member. Holdings Member shall be permitted to engage financial and other advisors on behalf of itself or the Company in connection with a Company Sale at any time during the Negotiation Period or thereafter and such engagement or other advising in preparation for a possible Company Sale (other than distribution of marketing materials to potential purchasers or other public marketing of the Company) during the Holding Member Units Purchase Period shall not constitute evidence of lack of good faith by Holdings Member. Holdings Member will provide to Crestwood Member copies of all documentation to be entered into in connection with the Company Sale process prior to their execution by Holdings Member and Crestwood Member will be provided a reasonable opportunity to provide input and comment with respect to such documentation, including any Confidential Information Memorandum and marketing materials, any merger or purchase and sale agreement and other transaction documents and correspondence with potential purchasers. Subject to Crestwood Member’s continued reasonable cooperation with the Company Sale, Holdings Member will provide notice to Crestwood Member of, and Crestwood Member will have the right to have a representative present at, all meetings and conferences (including teleconferences) with the financial advisor engaged in connection with such Company Sale and with potential buyers in such Company Sale.

(d)Upon the consummation of a Company Sale, all of the Members will be entitled to receive the same form of consideration to the extent consideration is a combination of cash, marketable securities, and/or non-marketable securities, with all such consideration (as well as other forms of consideration) being distributed in a manner that such Member would have received if such aggregate consideration with respect to the Units had been distributed by the Company to the Members in accordance with Section 10.02; provided, that no consideration for any additional agreements entered into in connection with such transaction, such as non-competition agreements, be included in the amount of consideration and if any Members are given an option as to the form

-26-

and amount of consideration to be received, all Members participating therein will be given the same option pro rata.

(e)Subject to Crestwood Member’s right to receive documentation and participate in the Company Sale process pursuant to Section 3.05(c), Crestwood Member shall enter into any agreement or instrument reasonably agreed to by Holdings Member in connection with a Company Sale, and shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as Holdings Member makes or provides in connection with the Company Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to Holdings Member, Crestwood Member shall only be required to make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to itself); provided, that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by Holdings Member and Crestwood Member severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation shall be pro rata based on the consideration received by Holdings Member and Crestwood Member, in each case in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by Holdings Member and Crestwood Member in connection with the Company Sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Crestwood Member shall vote in favor of the Company Sale conducted in accordance with this Section 3.05 and take all actions to waive any dissenters, appraisal or other similar rights.

(f)Promptly after the consummation of a Company Sale pursuant to this Section 3.05, Holdings Member shall notify Crestwood Member thereof, and if not remitted directly to Crestwood Member, remit or cause to be remitted (including by a distribution from the Company) to Crestwood Member the total consideration to which the Member is entitled with the cash portion of the purchase price paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions provided by Crestwood Member and furnish such other evidence of the completion and the date of completion of such transfer and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by Crestwood Member. If not remitted directly to Crestwood Member, Holdings Member shall promptly remit or cause to be remitted to Crestwood Member any additional consideration payable upon the release of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price with respect to the Units of Crestwood Member Transferred pursuant to such Company Sale.

(g)The reasonable and documented fees and expenses of Holdings Member incurred on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company (or the Members generally and not solely for the Holdings Member) in connection with a Company Sale shall be shared by the Holdings Member and the Crestwood Member pro rata based on their relative ownership in Common Units (including, with respect to Holdings Member, the percentage of Common Units into which any Series A Preferred Units held by the Holdings Member on the date of the Negotiation Period Notice convert), in each case, such amount shall be deducted from the proceeds thereof that would otherwise be distributed to each of the Holdings Member and the Crestwood Member.

3.06Requirements Applicable to All Transfers. Except in connection with a Company Sale or a redemption of Preferred Units effected pursuant to Sections 4.06, 5.01 or 10.02, if requested by any Member, a Member Transferring Units must deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member, to the effect that such

-27-

Transfer is either exempt from the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of any state or that such registration requirements have been complied with. Any Person acquiring Units from a Member (other than pursuant to a Company Sale) shall be obligated to execute an adoption agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member (whether such Transfer resulted by operation of law or otherwise). Without limiting the foregoing, even if any such Person fails to execute such an adoption agreement, such Person and such Units shall nevertheless be subject to this Agreement in the same manner as the Member holding such Units immediately prior to such Transfer. The Managing Member will determine in its reasonable discretion whether the foregoing requirements have been satisfied and may, in its reasonable discretion, determine to waive any such requirements to the extent permitted by applicable law.

3.07Additional Members. In connection with any Transfer or issuance of Interests permitted hereunder, additional Persons may be admitted to the Company as Members and Units may be created and issued to such Persons as determined by the Managing Member on such terms and conditions as the Managing Member may determine at the time of admission which may include making a Capital Contribution, subject, solely to extent applicable pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(vi), 6.02(a)(xxiii) or 6.02(a)(xxiv) or Section 6.02(b)(v) or 6.02(b)(xxi), to the approval by the Holdings Member. As a condition to being admitted as a Member of the Company, any Person must agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering a counterpart signature page to this Agreement, and must make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.08 to the extent applicable as of the date of such Person’s admission to the Company. To the extent legally permissible and reasonably practicable, the Crestwood Member shall provide such information in its possession, access and cooperation, in each case at the Holding Member’s sole expense, as reasonably requested by the Holdings Member in connection with any proposed, bona fide Transfer of Preferred Units or Common Units permitted by this Agreement by the Holdings Member to a purchaser of such Preferred Units or Common Units; providedhowever, in no event shall the Crestwood Member be required to (i) take any action to obtain or provide information or access that it does not have in its possession or have the right to request, in each case at the time of such request by the Holdings Member, (ii) take any action that the Crestwood Member determines in its reasonable judgment would result in the loss of the protection of any attorney-client or other privilege held by any Person or the breach of any written agreement of the Company, the Crestwood Member or any of their respective Affiliates or (iii) initiate, or threaten to initiate, any action, proceeding or litigation in order to enforce any rights that the Company has to receive access in respect of any Agreed Midstream Project.

3.08Representations and Warranties. Each Party hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a)such Party has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder;

(b)the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement do not conflict with any other agreement or arrangement to which such Party is a party or by which it is or its assets are bound; and

-28-

(c)such Party, if such Party is a Member, is and will be acquiring its Interest in the Company for investment purposes only for its own account and not with a view to the distribution, reoffer, resale, or other disposition not in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

3.09Liability to Third Parties. No Member will have any personal liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Company, whether such liabilities arise in contract, tort or otherwise, except to the extent that any such liabilities or obligations are expressly assumed in writing by such Member.

3.10Representations and Warranties Made by Crestwood Member. 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.

3.11Tag-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-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 3.11.

(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

-29-

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.

(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 3.11, 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 IVCAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTIONS OF PREFERRED UNITS

4.01Interests.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 A-3 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-1 Preferred Units (as defined in the Prior LLC Agreement) issued under the Prior LLC Agreement were redeemed and extinguished on the Issue 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.

4.02Capital Contributions.

(a)Capital Contributions. On the Issue Date, all of the Series A-1 Preferred Units (as defined in the Prior LLC Agreement) issued under the Prior LLC Agreement were redeemed and extinguished and the Company issued 175,000,000 Series A-2 Preferred Units to the Holdings Member. On the Effective Date, the Company issued the number of Series A-3 Preferred Units to the Holdings Member as set forth opposite the Holdings Member’s name on Exhibit A, and the

-30-

aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made by the Holdings Member in respect of such Series A-3 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 $462,406,523 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 occurrence of 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) (the total amount required from all Members to fund any such Agreed Midstream Project being the “Total Project Capital Contribution”). 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, (A) the Holdings Member will be required to fund an amount equal to the product of the then-current Aggregate Conversion Ratio and the Total Project Capital Contribution (subject to any approvals or other limitations as may be set out in the applicable Project Request) by making Capital Contributions to the Company (Holdings Member’s share of each such capital contribution, an “Accordion Capital Contribution”), it being understood that the amount of such Accordion Capital Contribution that is equal to the product of the A-2 Conversion Ratio and the Total Project Capital Contribution shall be borne by the holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Units and the amount of such Accordion Capital Contribution that is equal to the product of the A-3 Conversion Ratio and the Total Project Capital Contribution shall be borne by the holders of the Series A-3 Preferred Units, and (B) 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 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 a Conversion, then after such Conversion, such Accordion Capital Contribution or Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution will continue to be required to be made (and Section 4.02(b)(i) shall be disregarded with respect thereto) except that, instead of issuing Series A-2 Preferred Units or Series A-3 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), 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, or (ii) causes the Company to pursue a De Minimis Midstream Project Opportunity or Crestwood Scheduled Project pursuant to Section 6.03(e) and Section 6.03(f), respectively, any Capital Contribution required in connection therewith shall be considered a Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution.

-31-

(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 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 attributable to the outstanding Series A Preferred Units 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 the product of the Aggregate Conversion Ratio and 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. Except as provided in the penultimate sentence of Section 4.02(b)(i), immediately upon receipt by the Company of: (A) any Accordion Capital Contribution by the Company, the Company shall issue to the Holdings Member (1) a number of Series A-2 Preferred Units equal to the amount of such Accordion Capital Contributions made by the Holdings Member in respect of its Series A-2 Preferred Units divided by the Series A-2 Preferred Unit Price and (2) a number of Series A-3 Preferred Units equal to the amount of such Accordion Capital Contribution made by the Holdings Member in respect of its Series A-3 Preferred Units divided by the Series A-3 Preferred Unit Price and (B) any Crestwood Additional Capital Contribution, the Company shall issue to the 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 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 Preferred Units, and the Maximum Holdings Member Accordion Amount shall be reduced proportionately to adjust for the percentage of Series A 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.

-32-

(iv)Before a Conversion, in connection with any capital requirements of the Company, other than an Agreed Midstream Project or Crestwood Scheduled 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, 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 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.

4.03Funding 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

-33-

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 (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 (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.

(c)Failure of a Member to Fund a Post-Conversion Capital Contribution.

(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, 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 (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”), 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).

-34-

(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, 250% 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 interest at a 10% 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.

(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.

4.04Withdrawal 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.

4.05Further 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 either of the Subscription Agreements with respect to Losses (as defined in each of the Subscription Agreements) 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 either of the Subscription Agreements with respect to Losses (as defined in each of the Subscription Agreements) 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

-35-

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 each of the Subscription Agreements) giving rise to such indemnification obligation (an “Indemnification Payment”) shall be deemed (x) to the extent that an Indemnification Payment is made on account of Losses (as defined in the Series A-2 Subscription Agreement) under the Series A-2 Subscription Agreement, a distribution to the Crestwood Member for purposes of the definition of Series A-2 Adjusted Capex Amount and (y) to the extent that an Indemnification Payment is made on account of Losses (as defined in the Series A-3 Subscription Agreement) under the Series A-3 Subscription Agreement, a distribution to the Crestwood Member for purposes of the definition of Series A-3 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 each of the Subscription Agreements) shall not be a Capital Contribution for the purposes of the definition of Series A-2 Adjusted Capex Amount, Series A-3 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 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.

4.06Redemption 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

-36-

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 20% 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 20% 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. In the event of a Crestwood Change of Control, the Crestwood Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Holdings Member with no less than 30 days advance written notice of such Crestwood Change of Control, and within five Business Days following such Crestwood Change of Control, 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 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”) indicating whether (i) the Company has elected to redeem the then-outstanding Series A 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 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 (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 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 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 Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units

-37-

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)Company Change of Control. In the event of a Company Change of Control, the Crestwood Member shall use commercially reasonably efforts to provide the Holdings Member with no less than 30 days advance written notice of such Company Change of Control, and within five Business Days following such Company Change of Control, if any, the Holdings Member may elect by delivery of a Change of Control Redemption Notice to require the Company to redeem from the Holdings Member all then-outstanding Series A 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 a Consideration Election Notice to the Holdings Member indicating whether (i) the Company has elected to redeem the then-outstanding Series A 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 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 day prior to such redemption, (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 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 or (iv) the Company has elected to redeem the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units using the cash proceeds from a sale of some or all of the operating assets of the Company, including interests in any of the Company’s Subsidiaries (an “Asset Sale”) and to the extent the cash proceeds from an Asset Sale are less than the Change of Control Redemption Price payable to Holdings Member, 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 day prior to such redemption; provided, however, that (A) the options set forth in the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) shall not be available if any of the CEQP Unit Issuance Limitations would be triggered in such proposed issuance, (B) the number of CEQP Units issued pursuant to this Section 4.06(c) 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 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.

(g)Effect of Redemption or Purchase of Preferred Units. To the extent that any Series A 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 Preferred Unit or Series B Preferred Unit will be immediately cancelled and retired by the Company. Upon the acquisition of any Series A Preferred Unit or Series B Preferred Unit by the Crestwood Member pursuant to this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 3.04), immediately following such acquisition, such Preferred Unit shall be automatically converted into, and shall be treated in all respects as, one Common Unit. Upon the acquisition of any Series A Preferred Unit, Series B Preferred Unit or other Unit by the Crestwood Member pursuant to Section 3.04), 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(f)), 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

-41-

time as 100% of the Series A 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 3.08, 3.09, 3.10, 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 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 Preferred Units or Series B Preferred Units, as applicable, are redeemed prior to the redemption of any later-issued Series A Preferred Units or Series B Preferred Units.

(h)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 3.05, Section 4.06(b), Section 4.06(c), Section 4.06(d), Section 4.06(e) and Section 4.06(f) (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.

(i)Asset Sale. If the Crestwood Member elects (or is deemed to have elected) to cause an Asset Sale to fund all or any portion of the applicable redemption price pursuant to Section 4.06(c), 4.06(d), 4.06(e) or 4.06(f), it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Asset Sale as promptly as practicable after the date of such election or deemed election. If the Asset Sale is not consummated within twelve months after the date of such election or deemed election, then, without modifying or altering the other provisions of Section 4.06(c), 4.06(d), 4.06(e) or 4.06(f) (including payment of any shortfall if the Asset Sale does not yield sufficient proceeds to fund the applicable redemption price), the Holdings Member shall have the option to take over the administration and control of the Asset Sale process and the Crestwood Member shall reasonably cooperate with the Holdings Member in connection therewith.

4.07Conversion of Preferred Units.

(a)Conditional Conversion Option.

(i)At any time after December 31, 2020 but prior to December 31, 2023, the Holdings Member may elect by written notice to the Crestwood Member (the “Initial Period Conversion Notice”) to cause the Company to convert all, but not less than all, of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Units into an aggregate number of Common Units

-42-

that, following such Conversion, shall equal the product of (x) the Aggregate Conversion Ratio multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of outstanding Common Units as of immediately following such Conversion (the “Initial Period Conversion”), which Common Units shall be issued to the Holdings Member (or, if the Crestwood Member acquired any Series A Preferred Units pursuant to Section 3.04, then to the Holdings Member and the Crestwood Member in proportion to their respective ownership of all Series A Preferred Units); provided, however, that the Holdings Member’s right to effect a Conversion shall be limited solely to the extent required to be limited by applicable law.

(ii)At any time after December 31, 2023, the Holdings Member may elect by written notice to the Crestwood Member (the “Secondary Period Conversion Notice”) to cause the Company to (A) convert all, but not less than all, of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Units into an aggregate number of Common Units that, following such Conversion, shall equal the product of (x) the Aggregate Conversion Ratio multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of outstanding Common Units as of immediately following such Conversion (the “Secondary Period Full Conversion”), (B) 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 the product of (x) the A-2 Conversion Ratio multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of outstanding Common Units as of immediately following such Conversion (the “Secondary Period A-2 Conversion”), or (C) convert all, but not less than all, of the then-outstanding Series A-3 Preferred Units into an aggregate number of Common Units that, following such Conversion, shall equal the product of (x) the A-3 Conversion Ratio multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of outstanding Common Units as of immediately following such Conversion (the “Secondary Period A-3 Conversion”), in each case which Common Units shall be issued to the Holdings Member (or, if the Crestwood Member acquired any Series A Preferred Units pursuant to Section 3.04, then to the Holdings Member and the Crestwood Member in proportion to their respective ownership of all Series A Preferred Units); provided, however, that the Holdings Member’s right to effect a Conversion shall be limited solely to the extent required to be limited by applicable law. In the event that the Secondary Period Conversion Notice elects either a Secondary Period A-2 Conversion or a Secondary Period A-3 Conversion, the other series of Series A Preferred Units not being converted shall be redeemed in accordance with Section 4.06(f) and the delivery of the Secondary Period Conversion Notice shall be deemed to be a Holdings Member Redemption Notice with respect to such other series of Series A Preferred Units.

(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 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.

If the Holdings Member elects options (i) or (iii), then the Holdings Member shall deliver the Applicable 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. If the Holdings Member fails to deliver a written notice within such 10 Business Day period or otherwise fails to fund the Applicable Adjusted Capex Amount, the Holdings Member shall be deemed to have elected option (ii), and the number of Common Units held by the Holdings Member shall be reduced in accordance with the provisions thereof.

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.

(iii)In the event the Company has insufficient funds to pay in full the Series A-2 Quarterly Distribution and the Series A-3 Quarterly Distribution, all amounts available for such payment shall be shared pro rata among the Series A-2 Preferred Units and the Series A-3 Preferred Units based on the total number of Series A Preferred Units then outstanding.

(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

-45-

is prior to a Conversion, immediately prior to making such distribution (A) the Company has distributed any Series A Quarterly Distribution required with respect to such Fiscal Quarter, (B) there are no Series A 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 December 31, 2023, 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:

(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 Quarterly Distribution required to be distributed in respect of the Series A 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 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 equal to (1) in respect of each outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Unit equal to (x) the amount required to provide to the Holdings Member an IRR equal to 10% on each such outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Unit, less (y) the Series A-2 Preferred Unit Price, and (2) in respect of each outstanding Series A-3 Preferred Unit equal to (x) the amount required to provide to the Holdings Member an IRR equal to 10% on each such outstanding Series A-3 Preferred Unit, less (y) the Series A-3 Preferred Unit Price, then 100% to the Crestwood Member in respect of the Common Units.

(c)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 Member on whose behalf such Tax Advances

-46-

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(c) 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.

(d)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.

5.02Allocations.

(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

(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;

-47-

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 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

-48-

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).

(c)Tax Allocations.

(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.

-49-

(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). In the event that it is determined upon audit by the Internal Revenue Service that the Company, the Crestwood Member, or any of its Affiliates or Permitted Transferees, is required to treat the rights and obligations represented by the Preferred Units as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Members, their respective Affiliates and Permitted Transferees, and the Company agree to revise the provisions of this Agreement and take such other action as may be reasonably requested by either Member to minimize the effect of such treatment on all of the Members.

(e)Compliance with Subchapter K. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the discretion of the Managing Member, with the consent of the Holdings Member, the Company may diverge from the allocations described herein as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of subchapter K of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

Any notice, request or consent to CEQP will be given to the following address: 811 Main Street, Suite 3400, Houston, Texas 77002, Attention: General Counsel.

11.02Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, together with its Exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties relating to the Company and supersedes all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the Company, whether oral or written. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors, personal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that Nonparty Affiliates are intended to be third-party beneficiaries with rights to enforce the provisions of Section 6.05 as though a Party.

11.03Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company will not constitute a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to determine any Person to be in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long such failure continues,

will not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable limitations period has expired.

11.04Amendment or Modification. Except for any amendments to Exhibit A made solely to reflect issuances of additional Units or admission of Members in accordance with this Agreement, which amendments may be made by the Managing Member, this Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by a written instrument executed by each of the Crestwood Member and the Holdings Member; provided, however, that following the termination of the Holdings Member as a Member in accordance with this Agreement, the Holdings Member’s consent shall only be required to amend or modify the Surviving Provisions or to otherwise amend or modify the Agreement in a manner that would negatively affect the Holdings Member’s rights under the Surviving Provisions.

11.05Survivability of Terms. The terms and provisions of the obligations or agreements of the Members under Sections 3.08, 3.09, 3.10, 6.04, 6.05, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05, Article VIII and Section 9.01 and Article XI herein shall survive any termination of this Agreement and will be construed as agreements independent of any other provisions of this Agreement.

11.06Binding Effect. Subject to Article III, this Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective legal representatives and trustees.

11.07Governing 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.

11.08Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. THE COMPANY AND THE PARTIES VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, OVER ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES OR THE COMPANY AND THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE COMPANY AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL SUCH CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH COURTS. THE COMPANY AND THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT OR ANY DEFENSE OF INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH DISPUTE. THE COMPANY AND EACH PARTY AGREES THAT A JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

-68-

EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATED THERETO BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

11.09Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, each Party will execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and such transactions.

11.10Title 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.

11.11Counterparts. 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.

11.12Electronic 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. Each of the Parties further agrees that they will not raise the transmission of a consent or document by electronic transmission as a defense in any proceeding or action in which the validity of such consent or document is at issue and hereby forever waives such defense. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “electronic transmission” means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

11.13Equitable Relief. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Agreement are necessary to protect the Company’s and the Members’ legitimate business interests, and that breaches of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and injury to the Company and the Members, which cannot adequately be remedied through damages at law. Accordingly, the Parties agree that the remedies of the Company and of the Members may include specific performance, a temporary restraining order, preliminary and permanent 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.
