Click to edit Master title style 2014 RBC Capital Markets’ MLP Conference Cautionary Statements 2 This presentation contains forward-looking statements and information. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may project, indicate or imply future results, events, performance or achievements, and may contain the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” and similar expressions, or future conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.” In addition, any statement concerning future financial performance (including future revenues, earnings or growth rates), ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible actions taken by us or our subsidiaries, are also forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve external risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K (as updated by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014). Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of our management team. All forward-looking statements in this presentation and in any other written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or to persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, among others:  the volatility of natural gas, crude oil and NGL prices and the price and demand of products derived from these commodities;  competitive conditions in our industry and the extent and success of producers increasing production or replacing declining production and our success in obtaining new sources of supply;  industry conditions and supply of pipelines, processing and fractionation capacity relative to available natural gas from producers;  our dependence upon a relatively limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues;  actions taken, inactions or non-performance by third parties, including suppliers, contractors, operators, processors, transporters and customers;  our ability to effectively recover NGLs at a rate equal to or greater than our contracted rates with customers;  our ability to produce and market NGLs at the anticipated differential to NGL index pricing;  our access to markets enabling us to match pricing indices for purchases and sales of natural gas and NGLs;  our ability to complete projects within budget and on schedule, including but not limited to, timely receipt of necessary government approvals and permits, our ability to control the costs of construction and other factors that may impact projects;  our ability to consummate acquisitions, successfully integrate the acquired businesses and realize anticipated cost savings and other synergies from any acquisitions, including in respect of our acquisition of the TexStar rich gas system assets;  our ability to manage over time changing exposure to commodity price risk;  the effectiveness of our hedging activities or our decisions not to undertake hedging activities;  our access to financing and ability to remain in compliance with our financing covenants;  our ability to generate sufficient operating cash flow to fund our quarterly distributions;  changes in general economic conditions;  the effects of downtime associated with our assets or the assets of third parties interconnected with our systems;  operating hazards, fires, natural disasters, weather-related delays, casualty losses and other matters beyond our control;  the failure of our processing and fractionation plants to perform as expected, including outages for unscheduled maintenance or repair;  the effects of laws and governmental regulations and policies;  the effects of existing and future litigation; and  other financial, operational and legal risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Developments in any of these areas could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or projected, affect our ability to maintain distribution levels and/or access necessary financial markets, or cause a significant reduction in the market price of our common units. The foregoing list of risks and uncertainties may not contain all of the risks and uncertainties that could affect us. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation may not, in fact, occur. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

Click to edit Master title style 2014 RBC Capital Markets’ MLP Conference Non-GAAP Financial Measures 20 We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income/loss, plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, equity in losses of joint venture investments, certain non-cash charges (such as non-cash unit-based compensation, impairments, loss on extinguishment of debt and unrealized losses on derivative contracts), major litigation costs net of recoveries, transaction-related costs, revenue deferral adjustment, loss on sale of assets and selected charges that are unusual or non-recurring; less interest income, income tax benefit, unrealized gains on derivative contracts, equity in earnings of joint venture investments and selected gains that are unusual or non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess: • the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; • the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to support our indebtedness and make future cash distributions; • operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing or capital structure; and • the attractiveness of capital projects and acquisitions and the overall rates of return on investment opportunities. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows from operations. Net income/loss is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income/loss is included in this presentation. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as an analytical tool because each excludes some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.
