(i) Within 120 days after the consummation of such an acquisition, the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity shall notify the General
Partner in writing of such acquisition. Such notice shall include an offer (the “Offer”) by the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity to sell the Subject Assets to the MLP, accompanied by a proposed definitive agreement to effectuate
the purchase and sale of the Subject Assets (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement shall set forth the material terms of the Offer, including the proposed purchase price, any liabilities to be assumed by the Partnership
Group and the other material terms of the Offer; provided that the representations and warranties regarding the Subject Assets shall be substantially consistent with the terms contained in the definitive purchase agreement pursuant to which
the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity acquired the Subject Assets, subject to such adjustments as the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity reasonably determines are necessary to reflect the

  

 6 








 
differences in the transaction. In addition, if any Crestwood Holdings Entity desires to utilize the Subject Assets, the Offer may include commercially reasonable terms on which the Partnership
Group will provide services to such Crestwood Holdings Entity to enable it to utilize the Subject Assets. 
 (ii) As soon as
practicable after the Offer is made, the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity will deliver to the MLP all information prepared by or on behalf of or in the possession of any Crestwood Holdings Entity related to the Subject Assets and reasonably
requested by the MLP, except for such information determined in good faith by such Crestwood Holdings Entity to be necessary to preserve any applicable privilege (including the attorney-client privilege). As soon as practicable, but in any event
within 60 days after receipt of the Offer accompanied by the form of Purchase Agreement, the General Partner shall notify the Crestwood Holdings Entity in writing that either: (x) the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership Group,
has elected (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) not to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the Crestwood Holdings Entities shall be forever free to continue to own, operate dispose of or
otherwise deal in such Subject Assets, or (y) the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership Group, has elected (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which
event sub-clauses (iii) and (iv) shall apply. 
 (iii) In the event that the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity and
the General Partner (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) within 60 days after receipt by the General Partner of the Offer are able to agree on the fair market value of the Subject Assets that are subject to the Offer accompanied by
the form of Purchase Agreement and the other terms of the Offer including, without limitation, the terms, if any, on which the Partnership Group will provide services to any Crestwood Holdings Entity to enable it to utilize the Subject Assets, a
Partnership Group Member shall purchase the Subject Assets for the agreed upon fair market value as soon as commercially practicable after such agreement has been reached (and otherwise on the terms and conditions of the agreed Purchase Agreement)
and, if applicable, enter into an agreement with any Crestwood Holdings Entity to provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer (as modified based on the agreement of the Parties and the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee). 

(iv) In the event that the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity and the General Partner (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee)
are unable to agree within 60 days after receipt by the General Partner of the Offer on the fair market value of the Subject Assets that are subject to the Offer or the other terms of the Offer including, if applicable, the terms on which the
Partnership Group will provide services to any Crestwood Holdings Entity to enable it to utilize the Subject Assets, the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity and the General Partner will engage a mutually agreed upon independent investment banking
firm or other independent Person that is an expert in valuing midstream assets like the Subject Assets (such firm or Person, the “Subject Assets Valuation Expert”) to determine the fair market value of the Subject Assets and/or the
other terms on which the General Partner and the Crestwood Holdings Entity are unable to agree. Such Subject Assets Valuation Expert will determine the fair market value of the Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the General Partner and
the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity are unable to agree within 30 days of its engagement and furnish the applicable 
  


 7 








 
Crestwood Holdings Entity and the General Partner its determination. The fees of the Subject Assets Valuation Expert will be split equally between Crestwood Holdings and the MLP. Once the Subject
Assets Valuation Expert has submitted its determination of the fair market value of the Subject Assets and/or the other terms on which the Partnership Group and the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity are unable to agree, the General Partner will
have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee, to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets pursuant to the Offer as modified by the determination of the Subject Assets Valuation
Expert. The Partnership Group Member will provide written notice of its decision to the Crestwood Holdings Entity within 30 days after the Subject Assets Valuation Expert has submitted its determination. Failure to provide such notice within
such 30-day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision not to purchase the Subject Assets. If the General Partner elects to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, then the Partnership Group Member shall purchase the
Subject Assets pursuant to the Offer as modified by the determination of the Valuation Expert as soon as commercially practicable after such determination and, if applicable, enter into an agreement with the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity to
provide services in a manner consistent with the Offer, as modified by the determination of the Subject Assets Valuation Expert, if applicable. 

(b) In the event that a Crestwood Holdings Entity determines to construct Subject Assets, then the applicable Crestwood Holdings
Entity may construct or cause to be constructed such Subject Assets without first offering the opportunity to construct and own same to the MLP if such Crestwood Holdings Entity complies with the following procedures: 

(i) Within 120 days after the completion of construction and the commencement of commercial service of such Subject Assets by a
Crestwood Holdings Entity, the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity shall notify the General Partner in writing of such construction and offer the Partnership Group the opportunity to purchase such Subject Assets in accordance with this
Section 2.3(b) (the “Construction Offer”). The Construction Offer shall set forth the Crestwood Holdings Entity’s good faith estimate of (A) the actual Construction Costs for the Subject Assets incurred by the
applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity, and (B) the fair market value of such Subject Assets, which fair market value shall constitute the proposed purchase price for the Subject Assets, together with the other proposed terms relating to the
purchase of the Subject Assets, and, if any Crestwood Holdings Entity desires to utilize the Subject Assets, the Construction Offer may also include commercially reasonable terms on which the Partnership Group will provide services to such Crestwood
Holdings Entity to enable it to utilize the Subject Assets (collectively, the “Other Construction Terms”). 

(ii) As soon as practicable, but in any event within 60 days after receipt of such written notification, the General Partner shall
notify the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity in writing that either (x) the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership Group, has elected (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) not to cause a Partnership Group Member to
purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the Crestwood Holdings Entities shall be forever free to continue to own, operate dispose of or otherwise deal in such Subject Assets, or (y) the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership Group,
has elected (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, in which event the following procedures shall apply: 

 

 8 








 (iii) In the event that the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity and the General Partner
(with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee) within 60 days after receipt by the General Partner of the Construction Offer are able to agree on the fair market value of the Subject Assets that are subject to the Construction Offer and the
Other Construction Terms of the Construction Offer, a Partnership Group Member shall purchase the Subject Assets for the agreed upon fair market value as soon as commercially practicable after such agreement has been reached and, if applicable,
enter into an agreement with the Crestwood Holdings Entity to provide services in a manner consistent with the Construction Offer (as modified based on the agreement of the Parties and the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee). 

(iv) In the event that the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity and the General Partner (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee)
are unable to agree within 60 days after receipt by the General Partner of the Construction Offer on the fair market value of the Subject Assets that are subject to the Construction Offer, the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity and the
General Partner will engage a mutually agreed upon independent investment banking firm or other independent Person that is an expert in valuing midstream assets such as the Subject Assets that are the subject of the Construction Offer (the
“Independent Expert”), to determine the fair market value of the Subject Assets. Such Independent Expert will determine the fair market value of the Subject Assets within 30 days of its engagement and furnish the applicable
Crestwood Holdings Entity and the General Partner its determination, which determination shall be a final and binding determination of the fair market value. The fees of the Independent Expert will be split equally between Crestwood Holdings and the
MLP. 
 (v) If the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity and the General Partner are unable to agree within 60 days after
receipt by the General Partner of the Construction Offer on all of the Other Construction Terms, the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity and the General Partner will obtain a good faith proposal from a mutually agreed upon third party engaged in
the business to which such Other Construction Terms relate in order to determine the Other Construction Terms on which the General Partner and the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity are unable to agree. Such third party will submit a good faith
proposal regarding the Other Construction Terms on which the General Partner and the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity are unable to agree within 30 days of its engagement to the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity and the General Partner, which
proposal shall be a final and binding determination of the Other Construction Terms. The fees of the third party will be split equally between the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity and the Partnership Group. 

(vi) Once the fair market value and the Other Construction Terms have been finally determined pursuant to sub-clauses (iv) or
(v) above, the General Partner will have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee, to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets pursuant to the Construction Offer as modified
by the determination of the Independent Expert and/or the third party submitting a proposal, as applicable. The Partnership Group Member will provide written notice of its decision to the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity within 30 days
after the later of the date on which the Independent Expert and/or the third party submitting a proposal, as applicable, has submitted its determination. Failure to provide such notice within such 30-day period shall be deemed to

  

 9 








 
constitute a decision not to purchase the Subject Assets. If the General Partner elects to cause a Partnership Group Member to purchase the Subject Assets, then the Partnership Group Member shall
purchase the Subject Assets pursuant to the Construction Offer as modified by the agreement of the Parties, the determination of the Independent Expert and/or the third party submitting a proposal, as applicable, as soon as commercially practicable
after such determination and, if applicable, enter into an agreement with the applicable Crestwood Holdings Entity to provide services in a manner consistent with the Construction Offer, as modified by the determination of the third party submitting
a proposal, if applicable.

such case indemnification would not be permitted under the MLP Agreement by reason of one of the provisos contained in Section 7.7 of the MLP Agreement. 

3.2 Indemnification Procedures. 

(a) The Indemnified Party agrees that within thirty (30) days after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for
indemnification pursuant to this Article III, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party’s failure to

 10 








 
such matter except in the event and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. 

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any
claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article III, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the

 (c) The
Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to the

other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.2. In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be
construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article III; provided, however, that the Indemnified
Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status of any such
defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense.

Person hereunder. Failure on the part of a Party to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its rights hereunder until the
applicable statute of limitations period has run. 
 5.6 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may be amended
or modified from time to time only by the written agreement of all the Parties; provided, however, that the MLP may not, without the prior approval of the Conflicts Committee, agree to any amendment or modification of this Agreement that, in
the reasonable discretion of the General Partner, will have an adverse effect on the holders of Common Units. Each such instrument shall be reduced to writing and shall be designated on its face an “Amendment” or an “Addendum” to
this Agreement. 
 5.7 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. No Party shall have the right to assign its rights
or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Each of the Parties hereto specifically intends that each entity comprising the Crestwood Holdings Entities and the Partnership Entities, as applicable,
whether or not a Party to this Agreement, shall be entitled to assert rights and remedies hereunder as third-party beneficiaries hereto with respect to those provisions of this Agreement affording a right, benefit or privilege to any such entity.

 5.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all
signatory Parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

5.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be held
invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this

Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. 

5.10 Gender, Parts, Articles and Sections. Whenever the context requires, the gender of all words used in this Agreement
shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and the number of all words shall include the singular and plural. All references to Article numbers and Section numbers refer to Articles and Sections of this Agreement. 

5.11 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Party
agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all
such transactions. 
 5.12 Withholding or Granting of Consent. Each Party may, with respect to any consent or
approval that it is entitled to grant pursuant to this Agreement, grant or withhold such consent or approval in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, with or without cause, and subject to such conditions as it shall deem appropriate. 

5.13 Laws and Regulations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Party shall be required to
take any act, or fail to take any act, under this Agreement if the effect thereof would be to cause such Party to be in violation of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation. 

5.14 Negation of Rights of Limited Partners, Assignees and Third Parties. Except as set forth in Section 5.7, the
provisions of this Agreement are enforceable solely by the Parties, and no limited partner, member, or assignee of Crestwood Holdings or the MLP or other Person shall have the right, separate and apart from Crestwood Holdings or the MLP, to enforce
any provision of this Agreement or to compel any Party to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
