On April 18, 2011, the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors (the Board) of Crestwood Gas
Services GP LLC (the General Partner), the general partner of Crestwood Midstream Partners LP
(the Partnership), and the Management Committee (the Management Committee) of Crestwood Holdings
Partners, LLC (Holdings) adopted the Holdings 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2011
Plan). The 2011 Plan provides for awards of annual cash and equity bonuses to employees of
Holdings, including the named executive officers of the General Partner, who provide services to
the General Partner for the benefit of the Partnership.
Bonuses under the 2011 Plan will be based on an employees annual performance
appraisal and the Partnerships performance, which performance will be based on key performance
indicators (KPIs). The Management
Committee and the Board has established relative weight (the weighting factor) to be accorded to each
KPI and the various target levels within each KPI. The KPIs for the Partnership for the 2011 Plan include: certain gathering
volumes, adjusted distributable cash flow, certain operating expenses, certain third party volumes,
environmental, health and safety measures, and financing, commercial and value added
events. Eighty percent of the bonus pool will be allocated to the Partnerships actual performance
compared to the KPIs and weighting factors while the remaining twenty percent of the bonus pool
will be allocated at the discretion of the Management Committee and the Board. An eligible employees annual cash bonus is
generally calculated by multiplying the employee target incentive percentage times the percent
awarded for KPIs times the weighting factor times the employee performance rating. The Board and
the Management Committee have not made a final determinative regarding the target and maximum bonus levels to be paid
under the 2011 Plan. Any future grant of incentive compensation will be consistent with the 2011
Plan.
