**Exhibit 10.7****DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT**     This Director and Officer Indemnification Agreement, dated as of____________, 2007(this ***“Agreement”***), is made by and between Quicksilver Gas Services GP LLC, a Delaware limitedliability company (the “***Company***”), and ____________(***“Indemnitee”***).**RECITALS**:     A. The Company is the general partner of Quicksilver Gas Services LP, a Delaware limitedpartnership (the “***Partnership***”), which intends to issue securities to the public in an offeringregistered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Indemnitee is **[an officer/a director/adirector and officer]**of the Company.     B. Section 9 of the Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “***LLC Agreement***”) of the Companyprovides that the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction ofthe Board of Directors of the Company.     C. Significant authority with respect to the management of the Company and, accordingly, thePartnership, has been delegated to the officers of the Company.     D. Thus, it is critically important to the Company that it be able to attract and retain themost capable persons reasonably available to serve as directors and officers of the Company.     E. The Delaware courts have recognized that indemnification by a company serves the dualpolicies of (1) allowing company officials to resist unjustified lawsuits, secure in the knowledgethat, if vindicated, the company will bear the expense of litigation and (2) encouraging capablewomen and men to serve as company directors and officers, secure in the knowledge that the companywill absorb the costs of defending their honesty and integrity.     F. The number of lawsuits challenging the judgment and actions of directors and officers ofDelaware companies, the costs of defending those lawsuits, and the threat to directors’ andofficers’ personal assets have all materially increased over the past several years, chilling thewillingness of capable women and men to undertake the responsibilities imposed on company directorsand officers.     G. Recent federal legislation and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission andthe national securities exchanges have imposed additional disclosure and company governanceobligations on directors and officers of public companies and have exposed such directors andofficers to new and substantially broadened civil liabilities.     H. These legislative and regulatory initiatives have also exposed directors and officers ofpublic companies to a significantly greater risk of criminal proceedings, with attendant defensecosts and potential criminal fines and penalties.
 

 
     I. Indemnitee is a director or officer of the Company and does not regard the protectionafforded to him or her by Delaware law and the LLC Agreement as adequate, and his/her willingnessto serve in such capacity is predicated, in substantial part, upon (1) the Company’s willingness toprovide protection to him/her pursuant to express contract rights providing for the Company toindemnify him/her in accordance with the principles reflected above, to the fullest extentpermitted by Delaware law, and (2) the other undertakings set forth in this Agreement.     J. Therefore, in recognition of the need to provide Indemnitee with substantial protectionagainst personal liability, in order to procure Indemnitee’s continued service as a director orofficer of the Company and to enhance Indemnitee’s ability to serve the Company in an effectivemanner, and in order to provide such protection pursuant to express contract rights (intended to beenforceable irrespective of, among other things, any amendment to the Company’s certificate offormation or the LLC Agreement (collectively, the ***“Constituent Documents”***), any change in thecomposition of the Company’s Board of Directors (the ***“Board”***) or any change-in-control or businesscombination transaction relating to the Company), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreementfor (1) the indemnification of and the advancement of Expenses (as defined in Section 1(g)) toIndemnitee as set forth in this Agreement and (2) the continued coverage of Indemnitee under theCompany’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies.

Absent a proper and timelyobjection, the person or firm so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such writtenobjection is properly and timely made and substantiated, (i) the Independent Counsel so selectedmay not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court hasdetermined that such objection is without merit and (ii) the non-objecting party may, at
8

 
its option, select an alternative Independent Counsel and give written notice to the otherparty advising such other party of the identity of the alternative Independent Counsel so selected,in which case the provisions of the two immediately preceding sentences and clause (i) of thissentence shall apply to such subsequent selection and notice.

Presumption of Entitlement.**In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person orpersons making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicablestandard of conduct, and the Company may overcome such presumption only by its adducing clear andconvincing evidence to the contrary. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse toIndemnitee may be challenged by Indemnitee in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Nodetermination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) thatIndemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to any Claim byIndemnitee for indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Companyhereunder or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.     **9. No Other Presumption.**For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim byjudgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a pleaof *nolo contendere*or its equivalent, will not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meetany applicable standard of conduct or that indemnification hereunder is otherwise not permitted.     **10. Non-Exclusivity.**The rights of Indemnitee hereunder will be in addition to any otherrights Indemnitee may have under the Constituent Documents, or the substantive laws of theCompany’s jurisdiction of incorporation, any other contract or otherwise (collectively, ***“OtherIndemnity Provisions”***); *provided*, *however*, that (a) to the extent that Indemnitee otherwise wouldhave any greater right to indemnification under any Other Indemnity Provision, Indemnitee will bedeemed to have such greater right hereunder and (b) to the extent that any change is made to anyOther Indemnity Provision which permits any greater right to indemnification than that providedunder this Agreement as of the date hereof, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater righthereunder.

TheCompany will not adopt any amendment
9
