The Managing Member will determine in its reasonable discretion whether the foregoing conditions have been satisfied and may, in its reasonable discretion, determine to waive any such conditions to the extent permitted by applicable law.

following the Company’s receipt of such notice, forward such notice to the Crestwood Member and the EFS Member and specify in writing (such communication, the “Capital Call Notice”) (x) the amount of such Required Jackalope Contribution required to be funded by each of the Crestwood Member and the EFS Member through contributions to the Company, as determined in accordance with Section 4.01(c)(iii), and (y) the date on which such contributions are due to the Company (which date will not be less than four Business Days after the date of the Company’s delivery of the Capital Call Notice).

(ii) Following the Company’s commencement of any Agreed Midstream Services, at least five Business Days prior to the first day of each calendar month, the Managing Member shall deliver to the Crestwood Member and the EFS Member a written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of Required Non-Jackalope Contributions required to be funded by each of the Crestwood Member and the EFS Member, as determined in accordance with Section 4.01(c)(iii), for the applicable calendar month, which contributions shall be made by each of the Crestwood Member and the EFS Member on or before the first day of such calendar month.

Upon the Company’s receipt of any such Post-Waterfall Election Contribution, the Adjusted Distribution Ratio in effect as of the making of such Post-Waterfall Election Contributions shall be automatically adjusted as of such date to equal the ratio of (A) the Adjusted EFS Balance to (B) the Adjusted Crestwood Balance.

A Deficiency Event shall not relieve the Crestwood Member of its obligation to make any Crestwood Additional Capital Contributions subsequent thereto.

(e) Failure of EFS Member to Make an EFS Additional Capital Contribution. If the EFS Member fails to fund 100% of any EFS Additional Capital Contribution when due and fails to cure such default within three (3) Business Days after such due date (any such failure, an “EFS Default”), then the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than three Business Days after the due date for such EFS Additional Capital Contribution, provide written notice of such failure to the Crestwood Member, and the Crestwood Member shall have the option, in its sole discretion and as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, to fund the amount of such deficiency,

-19-

including any interest due and payable to Jackalope LLC pursuant to Section 3.1(d) of the Jackalope LLC Agreement as a result of such deficiency (any such amount funded by the Crestwood Member, a “Default Contribution”). Immediately upon receipt of any Default Contribution by the Company, the Company shall issue to the Crestwood Member a number of Series C Preferred Units equal to the amount of such Default Contribution divided by the Series C Unit Price. An EFS Default shall not relieve the EFS Member of its obligation to make any EFS Additional Capital Contributions subsequent thereto.

Except as provided in this Agreement, including Sections 4.04 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.

4.03 Further Contributions. 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.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to Section 4.04(c), the right of the EFS Member and the Crestwood Member to have any Deficiency Preferred Units redeemed pursuant to this Section 4.04(a) will be senior in right of payment to all distributions to Members or redemptions of Units by the Company.

Upon the occurrence of a Crestwood Change of Control prior to the Waterfall Adjustment Date, if any, the EFS Member may elect by written notice to the Crestwood Member (the “Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to require the Company to redeem from the EFS Member all then-outstanding Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units.

The closing of any redemption or acquisition pursuant to this Section 4.04(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 pursuant to this Section 4.04(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.

(ii) At any time on or after the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date but prior the commencement of the EFS Option Period or the Waterfall Adjustment Date, the Crestwood Member may (A) cause the Company to redeem some or all of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units in exchange for the Company’s paying the EFS Member cash, (B) acquire some or all of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units by the issuance to the EFS Member or its designee as consideration a number of CMLP Units, valued at the CMLP Unit Price, or (C) effect a combination of the actions described in clauses (A) and (B) above,

At any time following the delivery of a Sale Option Notice pursuant to this Section 4.04(d)(ii)(B), the EFS Member shall have the option to cause the Company to engage a nationally recognized investment bank to undertake a process to effect a Liquidation Transaction, which process will be controlled by the EFS Member after reasonable consultation with the Crestwood Member, and the Crestwood Member and the Company hereby agree to take all actions and grant all approvals reasonably requested by the EFS Member in connection with any such process. Upon receipt of the Liquidation Proceeds, the Company shall promptly, but in any event not more than five Business Days following such receipt, use such Liquidation Proceeds to redeem from the EFS Member for cash all then-outstanding Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units at prices per Series A Preferred Unit and Series B Preferred Unit required to provide the EFS Member an IRR equal to [***] on each such Series A Preferred Unit and Series B Preferred Unit so redeemed.

-23-

acquisition of fewer than all of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units may be effected pursuant to this Section 4.04(d)(iii) unless the aggregate value of the cash paid to the EFS Member or the CMLP Units issued to the EFS member in such redemption or acquisition pursuant to this Section 4.04(d)(iii) equals or exceeds $30,000,000; and provided further, that in connection with any election by the Crestwood Member to exercise its rights under this Section 4.04(d)(iii), (A) the number of CMLP Units shall not exceed the Maximum Redemption Units (it being acknowledged and agreed that the issuance of the Maximum Redemption Units, if applicable, shall redeem in full all of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units and no further cash or other consideration shall be required to be paid in connection therewith) and (B) the Crestwood Member shall comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such CMLP Units so issued.

At any time during the Waterfall Election Period, the EFS Member may elect, in its sole discretion, upon written notice to the Crestwood Member (such notice, the “Waterfall Election Notice”), to cause the Company, effective as of the date set forth in the Waterfall Election Notice (the “Waterfall Adjustment Date”), to make certain changes set forth herein with respect to the manner in which distributions are to be made to the Members in respect of their respective holdings of Units (such election, a “Waterfall Election”); provided, however, that (i) the Waterfall Adjustment Date must occur during the Waterfall Election Period, and (ii) the Crestwood Member may exercise its rights to acquire or cause the redemption of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units in accordance with Section 4.04(c)(ii) at any time prior to the Waterfall Adjustment Date.

(f) 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, immediately following such acquisition, such Preferred Unit shall be automatically be converted into, and shall be treated in all respects as, one Common Unit. Further, and provided that as of such time, EFS has made aggregate Capital Contributions to the Company equal to the Maximum EFS Contribution Obligation, at such time as 100% of the Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units held by the EFS Member have been redeemed in full by the Company or acquired by the Crestwood Member in accordance with this Agreement, the EFS Member shall immediately cease to be both a Member and a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that the rights and obligations of the EFS Member under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, Article V, 6.03(e), 6.04(c), (d), (e) and (f), 6.05, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05, 8.01, 8.03 and 9.01 and Article XI (the “Surviving Provisions”) shall survive the EFS 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 4.04, 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.

-25-

(A) First, pro rata to the EFS Member and the Crestwood Member in accordance with their then-current respective aggregate capital account balances as of the making of such distribution, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP; 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 EFS 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 EFS Member with respect to such Fiscal Quarter; and

(B) Second, upon the receipt by the EFS Member pursuant to Section 5.01(b)(ii)(A) of an amount of distributions in respect of each outstanding Series A Preferred Unit equal to (1) the amount required to provide to the EFS Member an IRR equal to (x) in connection with any distribution effected prior to the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date, [***] on each such outstanding Series A Preferred Unit, or (y) in connection with any distribution effected on or following the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date, [***] on each such outstanding Series A Preferred Unit, less (2) the Series A Unit Price, then, 100% to the Crestwood Member in respect of the Common Units.

(iii) In addition to fulfilling the conditions set forth in Section 5.01(b)(i)(A), (B), (C) and (D), to the extent that the Crestwood Member has not made Crestwood Capital Contributions equal to at least $125,000,000 as of the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, then the distribution of any Available Cash with respect to any Fiscal Quarter ending after the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the commencement of the EFS Option Period or the Waterfall Adjustment Date, will, subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence, only be permitted to be made as follows:

(A) First, 100% to the Crestwood Member in respect of the Common Units in an aggregate amount not to exceed the PCD Cap; and

(B) Second, (1) 50% to the Crestwood Member in respect of the Common Units, and (2) 50% to the EFS Member to redeem Series A Preferred Units; provided that a Series A Preferred Unit will be redeemed pursuant to clause (2) upon the EFS Member’s receipt of cash in respect of such Series A Preferred Unit in the amount required to provide the EFS Member an IRR equal to (x) [***] with respect to such Series A Preferred Unit to the extent such redemption occurs prior to the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date and (y) [***] with respect to such Series A Preferred Unit to the extent such redemption occurs on or after the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date;

-26-

provided, however, that, following the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, to the extent that the amount of cash distributable to the EFS Member in connection with a distribution of 100% of Available Cash for the applicable Fiscal Quarter in accordance with Section 5.01(b)(ii) would exceed the amount of cash distributable to the EFS Member in accordance with a distribution of 100% of Available Cash effected in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 5.01(b)(iii), the distribution of 100% of Available Cash with respect to such Fiscal Quarter shall be effected in accordance with Section 5.01(b)(ii) instead of in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 5.01(b)(iii).

(iv) To the extent that the EFS Member makes a Waterfall Election, commencing on the Waterfall Adjustment Date, the Managing Member may cause the Company to make a distribution of 100% of all Available Cash in respect of a particular Fiscal Quarter to the EFS Member and the Crestwood Member in accordance with the Adjusted Distribution Ratio.

(c) Special Proceeds. The Company shall use any Special Proceeds solely as follows: (x) first, to the extent that such Special Proceeds are not proceeds of a debt financing transaction undertaken by the Company or Jackalope LLC, to make (or be reserved for the making of) Required Jackalope Contributions or Required Non-Jackalope Contributions; and (y) second, (I) to the extent that the Managing Member reasonably determines that no Required Jackalope Contributions or Required Non-Jackalope Contributions will be required to be made at any time during the twelve months immediately following the Company’s receipt of such Special Proceeds, or (II) in the case that such Special Proceeds result from a debt financing transaction undertaken by the Company or Jackalope LLC, then the Managing Member shall (A) to the extent that such Special Proceeds are received by the Company on or following any Waterfall Adjustment Date, distribute such Special Proceeds in accordance with Section 5.01(b)(iv) or (B) to the extent such Special Proceeds are received by the Company prior to any Waterfall Adjustment Date, cause the Company to redeem Series A Preferred Units in cash as follows:

(i) at any time prior to the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, pursuant to Section 4.04(c)(i) as if the Crestwood Member had elected to cause the Company to make such redemption solely for cash;

(ii) at any time on or after the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date but prior the commencement of the EFS Option Period, pursuant to Section 4.04(c)(ii)(A) as if the Crestwood Member had elected to cause the Company to make such redemption solely for cash; or

5.02 Allocations.

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

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

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.

-28-

(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 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.

-29-

(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).

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

(ii) Tax items with respect to any Company asset that has a Book Value that differs from its adjusted tax basis will be allocated among the Members for federal income tax purposes in a manner consistent with the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) so as to take into account such difference as determined appropriate in the reasonable discretion of the Managing Member.

(iii) As provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(4), special allocations of taxable income, gain, deduction or loss shall be made among the Members in the manner determined appropriate by the Managing Member, with the consent of the EFS Member, to take into account any reallocations of Capital Account balances occurring as a result of a Waterfall Election pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3) and the definition of Capital Account hereunder.

-30-

(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 EFS 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 EFS 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 EFS 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.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing herein shall require the Crestwood Member or the EFS Member (or any of their respective Affiliates) to bring any Non-Jackalope Midstream Project or other opportunity to the Company, and the Members (and their respective Affiliates) may engage or invest in, and devote their time to, any other business venture or activity of any nature and description, whether or not such activities are considered competitive with the Company or its business (the “Right to Compete”), and neither the Company nor any other Member will have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the relationship created hereby in or to such other venture or activity (or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom), and the pursuit of such other venture or activity will not be deemed wrongful or improper. The Right to Compete of each Member (and its Affiliates) does not require notice to, approval from, or other sharing with, any of the other Members or the Company, and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including in Section 6.04, the legal doctrines of “corporate opportunity,” “business opportunity” and similar doctrines will not be applied to any such competitive venture or activity of a Member (and its Affiliates), including any Member serving as the Managing Member, and are hereby disclaimed by the Company and the Members.

(e) The EFS Member agrees that any information furnished to the EFS Member or its advisors in a Project Request or by or on behalf of the Crestwood Member in connection with the EFS Member’s evaluation of any Non-Jackalope Midstream Project (such information, “Evaluation Material”) shall be used by the EFS Member and its Affiliates, on or before the second anniversary of the date such Evaluation Material is furnished to the EFS Member, solely for the purpose of evaluating the Company’s undertaking the Non-Jackalope Midstream Project and implementing any Non-Jackalope Midstream Project that becomes an Agreed Midstream Project; provided, however, that Evaluation Material shall not include any information to the extent that such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the EFS Member, (ii) was or becomes available to the EFS Member from a source other than the Crestwood Member or its Affiliates, advisors or other representatives or (iii) was independently developed by the EFS Member or its Affiliates without reference to or otherwise using the Evaluation Material.

6.04 Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.

(a) Subject to Section 6.04(b), (i) a Member, in its capacity as such, shall have no fiduciary or other duty to the Company, any other Member or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement other than the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing and (ii) such Member shall not be liable in damages to the Company, any other Member or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement by reason of, or arising from or relating to the operations, business or affairs of, or any action taken or failure to act on behalf of, the Company, except to the extent that it is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that any of the foregoing was caused by (x) a breach or violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing or the duties imposed by Section 6.04(b), (y) actual fraud or willful misconduct, or, (z) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, conduct of a Member that such Member had reasonable cause to believe was unlawful.

-35-

(b) Except with respect to the Managing Member’s Right to Compete and the fiduciary duties related thereto, which such duties are hereby expressly disclaimed, the Managing Member shall have fiduciary duties of loyalty and care to the Company similar to that of directors and officers of for-profit corporations organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

(c) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, but subject to the provisions of this Section 6.04, the Members and the Managing Member (each an “Indemnitee”), each as provided below, will not be liable for, and will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against, any and all claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, and costs of investigation, actually and reasonably incurred by any such Indemnitee (collectively, “Indemnified Losses”) arising from any civil, criminal or administrative proceedings in which such Indemnitee may be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its being a Member or the Managing Member, whether or not it continues to be such at the time any such Indemnified Loss is paid or incurred, except to the extent that any of the foregoing is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to (i) with respect to the Managing Member, have been caused by any breach of the duties imposed by Section 6.04(b), (ii) with respect to all Indemnities, have been caused by a willful breach of the terms of this Agreement or the actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such persons, or (iii) with respect to criminal matters, have occurred in connection with activity that an Indemnitee had reason to believe was unlawful. IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENT OF THE COMPANY THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO ANY LOSS THAT HAS RESULTED FROM OR IS ALLEGED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE OR THE SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE.

(d) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any proceeding (except a proceeding by or in the right of the Company or brought by any of the Members against such Indemnitee), will be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding, upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if such Indemnitee is determined pursuant to this Section 6.04 or adjudicated to be ineligible for indemnification, which undertaking will be an unlimited general obligation of the Indemnitee but need not be secured unless so determined by the Managing Member.

(e) Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.04 will be made only out of the assets of the Company and will in no event cause any Member to incur any personal liability nor shall it result in any liability of the Members to any third party.

(f) The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 6.04 are in addition to any rights to which an Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled by contract (including advancement of expenses) or as a matter of law.

Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by law, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise; and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.04, a Member may disclose information about the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to potential Transferees of Units; provided, however, such potential Transferee must execute a confidentiality agreement in customary form prior to such disclosure which (A) requires the recipient to keep the information confidential and (B) prohibits the recipient from using the information for any purpose other than evaluating the potential Transfer.

This Agreement, together with its Exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement of the Members relating to the Company and supersedes all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the Company, whether oral or written.

11.07 Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict-of-laws rule or principle (whether under the laws of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that might refer the governance or the construction of this Agreement to the law of another jurisdiction.

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.

-44-

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

11.12 Electronic Transmissions. Each of the parties hereto 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 hereto, 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.
