Securities Act relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of the Registrable Securities owned by the Holders in accordance with the plan and method of distribution set forth in the prospectus included in such Form S-3 (the “Shelf
Registration Statement”). Even if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as

defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (a “WKSI”), the Company shall not be required to file the Shelf Registration Statement on an automatic shelf registration
statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) or any successor form thereto, to the extent that the Company would be an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) with respect to a broad plan of distribution
(inclusive of distributions not involving a firm commitment underwriting) customarily included in a shelf registration statement. 

(b) At least ten Business Days prior to the date on which the Company anticipates filing a Shelf Registration Statement, the
Company will deliver written notice (the “Shelf Notice”) thereof to each Holder. Each Holder will have the right to include its Registrable Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement by delivering to the Company a written

document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or

	 	Section 3.	Demand Registration Rights 

 (a) General. At any time following
the Lock-Up Period but subject to any pending lock-up arrangement in accordance with Section 13(b), if the Company shall receive from any Demanding Holder a written request (an “Offering Request”) (i) that the Company
file a registration statement with respect to any of such Demanding Holder’s Registrable Securities (a “Registration Request”) or (ii) in the event that a Shelf Registration Statement covering such Demanding
Holders’ Registrable Securities is already effective, that the Company engage in an underwritten offering (an “Underwriting Request”) in respect of such Demanding Holder’s Registrable Securities, then the Company
shall, within three Business Days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and the Company and the Holders shall comply with the notice and participation procedures set forth in Section 4. Subject to the other
terms of this Section 3, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect, as soon as reasonably practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of the resale of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered
in any Registration Request and/or the underwritten offering of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be offered pursuant to any Underwriting Request. With respect to any Registration Request, the Company shall use reasonable best
efforts to cause any related Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof and to keep such Registration Statement effective until participating Holder or Holders have
completed the distribution described in such Registration Statement. The Demanding Holder may request that the Company register the resale or effect an offering of such Registrable Securities on an appropriate form, including a Shelf Registration
Statement (so long as the Company is eligible to use Form S-3). The Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall be subject to the following limitations and conditions: 

(i) the Company shall not be required to comply with any Offering Request that is received within 90 calendar days after the
closing of any underwritten offering effected by one or more Holders or the Company; 
 (ii) the Company shall not be
required to comply with any Offering Request where the anticipated aggregate offering price of all Registrable Securities requested to be registered or offered by the Demanding Holder (together with any related requests of other Demanding Holders)
is equal to or less than one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000), unless the Demanding Holder’s remaining Registrable Securities have a value less than such one hundred million dollar ($100,000,000) limit, in which case such Demanding Holder
may make a single and final request with respect to its remaining Registrable Securities; or 
 (iii) the Company shall not
be required to comply with any Offering Request, and may suspend its obligations under this Section 3, as applicable, for the duration of any applicable Blackout Period, following its delivery of written notice thereof to the Holders; 

  
 6 

 (iv) the Company shall not be required to comply with any Registration Request
at any time that the Shelf Registration Statement is effective; 
 (v) the Company shall be entitled to postpone any
Offering Request if, in the Company’s good faith judgment, it is not feasible for the Company to proceed with the Offering Request because audited or pro forma financial statements that are required by the Securities Act to be included in any
related registration statement or prospectus are then unavailable, until such time as such financial statements are completed or obtained by the Company; provided, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to complete or
obtain such financial statements as promptly as reasonably practicable; and 
 (vi) the Company shall not be required to
comply with any Registration Request to file a Form S-1 unless such Registration Request is jointly made by EMG, Kelso and Tallgrass KC. 

(b) Demand Procedures. 

(i) Any Offering Request shall specify: (i) the approximate aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be
registered or offered for sale in such Offering Request, (ii) the intended method of disposition in connection with such Offering Request, to the extent then known and (iii) the identity of the Demanding Holder or Demanding Holders. 

(ii) In connection with any Offering Request, the Demanding Holder(s) and Company management shall jointly participate in the
process of selecting the investment banking firms that will serve as lead and co-managing underwriters with respect to such underwritten offering. In addition, the Company (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through
such underwriting) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, if the managing underwriter(s)
advise the Demanding Holder(s) in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten in a Holder-initiated registration or offering, the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that
would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as follows: 

(A) first, among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities
requested by such Holders to be included in the registration or underwritten offering; 
 (B) second, to the Company; and

 (C) third, if there remains availability for additional securities to be included in such registration or underwritten
offering, pro rata among any other Persons who have been granted registration rights, or who have requested participation in such registration or underwritten offering. 

  
 7 

	 	Section 4.	Piggyback Registrations and Participation Rights 

 (a) General.
If, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Company proposes to register the sale of any of its securities or conduct an offering of registered securities for its own account or for the account of any third Person (including any
Demanding Holder(s) or other Holders pursuant to this Agreement) on a form which would permit the registration or offering of Registrable Securities, except as otherwise provided herein, the Company will: 

(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and 

(ii) include in such registration or offering, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made
within seven calendar days after delivery of such written notice from the Company, by any Holders (except that (A) if the managing underwriter(s) or the Person initiating the registration or offering determine that marketing factors require a
shorter time period and so inform each Holder in the applicable written notice, such written request or requests must be made within three calendar days and (B) in the case of an “overnight” offering or a “bought deal,” such
written request or requests must be made within one Business Day), except as set forth in Section 3(c) or Section 4(b); provided, however, that the Company may withdraw any registration or offering initiated by the Company at any time before any
related registration statement becomes effective, or postpone or terminate any offering of securities under such registration statement initiated by the Company, without obligation or liability to any Holder. The absence of any requirement to
provide such notice shall have no effect on the rights of any Holder to participate in any offering following such registration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Additionally, the Company shall not have to provide notice of any
registration of securities proposed by the Company to any Holder to the extent such Holder does not hold a sufficient number of Registrable Securities to meet the minimum participation level set forth in Section 4(c) of this Agreement. 

(b) Underwriting. The piggyback and participation rights of any Holder pursuant to Section 3 or this Section 4 shall be
conditioned upon such Holder’s acceptance of the terms of, and participation in, the underwriting arrangements as agreed to by the Company and the managing underwriter(s). All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through
such underwriting shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provisions in this
Agreement, each Holder, in its capacity as a Holder, shall not be required by any underwriting agreement (or other agreement in connection with such offering) (i) to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or
the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, the ownership of such Holder’s Registrable Securities and such 

  
 8 

 
Holder’s intended method or methods of disposition and any other representation required by law or (ii) to furnish any indemnity to any Person which is broader than the indemnity
furnished by such Holder pursuant to Section 8(b). In the event of any registration or offering initiated by the Company, the Company shall select the underwriters to participate in such registration or offering in its sole discretion.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, if the managing underwriter(s) determine that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten in a Company-initiated registration or offering, the Company shall
so advise all Holders whose securities would otherwise be registered or offered pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration or underwritten offering shall be so limited and, except as
otherwise provided herein, shall be allocated as follows: 
 (i) first, to the Company; 

(ii) second, if there remains additional availability for additional Registrable Securities to be included in such
registration or underwritten offering, among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included in the registration or underwritten offering; and 

(iii) third, if there remains availability for additional securities to be included in such registration or underwritten
offering, pro rata among any other Persons who have been granted registration rights, or who have requested participation in such registration or underwritten offering. 

If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any underwriting related to any underwritten offering effected pursuant to Section 3 or this Section
4, the Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter(s). If by the withdrawal of such Registrable Securities a greater number of shares of Registrable Securities held by other Holders may be
included in such registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the managing underwriter(s)), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included Registrable Securities in the registration or underwritten offering the right
to include additional shares of Registrable Securities in the same proportion used in determining the participation limitation in Section 3(c) or this Section 4(b). 

(c) Minimum Participation Level. To the extent a Holder has Registrable Securities included in an effective Shelf
Registration Statement, such Holder may not exercise its piggyback or participation rights pursuant to this Section 4 unless such Holder requests the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the applicable registration or underwritten offering with a
gross anticipated offering price that is equal to or greater than ten million dollars ($10,000,000), unless the Holder’s remaining Registrable Securities have a value less than such ten million dollar ($10,000,000) limit, in which case such
Holder may make a single and final request with respect to its remaining Registrable Securities. 

  
 9 

	 	Section 5.	Registration Expenses 

 The Company will cause all Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with any registration, filing, qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 2, 3 and 4 to be borne by Tallgrass Equity, regardless of whether any Registration Statement becomes effective. All Selling Expenses relating to the sale of
securities registered by the Holders shall be borne by the Holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so sold. 
  

	 	Section 6.	Further Obligations 

 (a) In connection with any registration of the sale
of shares of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will consult with each Holder whose Registrable Securities are to be included in any such registration concerning the form of underwriting agreement

with respect to the registration statement and the related securities offering) as such Holder shall reasonably request in connection with its participation in such registration. The Company will furnish each Registering Holder whose Registrable
Securities are registered thereunder and each underwriter, if any, with a copy of the registration statement and all amendments thereto and will supply each such Registering Holder and each underwriter, if any, with copies of any prospectus forming
a part of such registration statement (including a preliminary prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Prospectus”), in such quantities as may be reasonably requested for the purposes of the proposed sale
or distribution covered by such registration. In the event that the Company prepares and files with the Commission a registration statement on any appropriate form under the Securities Act (a “Registration Statement”)

thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to such Prospectus;

therein by reference containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 

(iii) use reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement;

relating to the sale of such Registrable Securities, including without limitation information with respect to the amount of Registrable Securities being sold to such underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriters and with
respect to any other terms of the underwritten (or best efforts underwritten) offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as
notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
 (v) furnish to such
Registering Holder and each managing underwriter at least one signed copy of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all
exhibits (including those incorporated by reference) (provided, however, that any such document made available by the Company through EDGAR shall be deemed so furnished); 

(vi) deliver to such Registering Holders and the underwriters, if any, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each
preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; 
 (vii) prior to
any public offering of Registrable Securities, register or qualify or cooperate with the Registering Holders, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities
for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Registering Holder or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable
the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, 

  
 11 

 
however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so required to be qualified or to take any action which would subject
it to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 
 (viii) cooperate
with the Registering Holders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement and not bearing any
restrictive legends, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters may request at least one Business Day prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the underwriters;

 (ix) if any fact described in subparagraph (a)(ii)(E) above exists, promptly prepare and file with the Commission a
supplement or post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the
Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 

(x) cause all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange or

all such other reasonable actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including, in the case of underwritten offerings, (i) customary participation of management;
provided that senior management of the Company shall not be required to dedicate an unreasonably burdensome amount of time in connection with roadshow and related marketing activities for any underwritten offering, (ii) using reasonable
efforts to cause its counsel to issue opinions of counsel in form, substance and scope as are customary in underwritten offerings, including a standard “10b-5” opinion for such offering, addressed and delivered to the underwriter(s),
(iii) if requested, using reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered, immediately prior to the pricing of any underwritten offering, immediately prior to effectiveness of each Registration Statement (and, in the case of an underwritten
offering, at the time of closing of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto), letters from the Company’s independent registered public accountants addressed to each underwriter, if any, stating that such accountants are independent
public accountants within the 

  
 12 

 
meaning of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and otherwise in customary form and covering such financial and accounting matters as
are customarily covered by letters of the independent registered public accountants delivered in connection with underwritten public offerings and (iv) delivering a standard officer’s certificate from the chief executive officer or chief
financial officer, or other senior officers serving such functions, of the general partner of the Company addressed to each underwriter, if any; 

(xiii) make available for inspection by a representative of the Registering Holders whose Registrable Securities are being
sold pursuant to such Registration Statement, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Registering Holders or underwriter, all financial and other records
and any pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company reasonably requested by such representative, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that any records, information or
documents that are designated by the Company in writing as confidential shall be kept confidential by such Persons or entities unless disclosure of such records, information or documents is required by law, legal process or regulatory requirements;
provided, further, that a Registering Holder will be responsible for all breaches or releases of this confidential information made by any representative, underwriter, attorney or accountant to which the Registering Holder provides such records,
information or documents; provided, further, that information shall not be deemed confidential information for purposes of this Section 6(a)(xiii), if such information (i) is already known to such Party (or its representatives), having been
disclosed to such Party (or its representatives) by a third Person without such third Person having an obligation of confidentiality to the Company, (ii) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of such Party (or its
representatives), or (iii) is independently developed by such Party (or its representatives) without reference to any confidential information disclosed to such Party under this Agreement; and 

(xiv) in the event any Holder could reasonably be deemed to be an “underwriter” (as defined in Section 2
(a)(11) of the Securities Act) in connection with such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereof, reasonably cooperate with such Holder in allowing such Holder to conduct customary “underwriter’s due diligence”
with respect to the Company and satisfy its obligations in respect thereof. In addition, at any Holder’s request, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to furnish to such Holder, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as such Holder may reasonably request, (A) subject to such Holder’s delivery of any letter required by the Company’s independent certified public accountants, a “cold
comfort” letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering
addressed to such Holder, (B) an opinion, dated as 

  
 13 

 
of such date, of counsel representing the Company, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, including a standard “10b-5” opinion for such
offering, addressed to such Registering Holder and (C) a standard officer’s certificate from the chief executive officer or chief financial officer, or other senior officers serving such functions, of the general partner of the Company
addressed to the Holder. 
 (b) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of an
event of the kind described in Section 6(a)(ii)(B) through Section 6(a)(ii)(E), such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of shares of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement until such stop order is vacated or
such Holder receives a copy of the supplemented or amended Prospectus. If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the reasonable expense of the Company) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies
then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such shares of Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. 
  

	 	Section 7.	Further Information Furnished by Holders 

 It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2 through 6 that the Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of distribution of
such securities as shall be required to effect the registration or offer and sale of their Registrable Securities and in each case such information shall be provided at least thirty-six hours prior to any required filing deadline. The Company and
the Holders of the Registrable Securities, in their capacities as Holders, hereby acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by such Holders, the only information furnished or to be furnished to the Company for use
in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or in any amendment, supplement or preliminary materials associated therewith are statements specifically relating to (a) transactions between such Holder and
its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, (b) the beneficial ownership of TEGP Class A Shares or TEGP Class B Shares held by such Holder and its Affiliates and (c) the name and address of such Holder. If any
additional information about such Holder or the plan of distribution (other than for an underwritten offering) is required by law to be disclosed in any such document, then such Holder shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement referred to in the
immediately preceding sentence of this Section 8(b). 
  

	 	Section 8.	Indemnification 

 In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration
statement under Sections 2, 3 or 4: 
 (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold
harmless each Holder and underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each of the officers, directors, partners and agents of each such Holder and underwriter, and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning
of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or 

  
 14 

 
liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any officer, director, employee, advisor or affiliate thereof of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state
securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, officer, director, partner or agent, underwriter or controlling Person for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied), nor shall the
Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly
for use in connection with such registration or offering by or on behalf of any such Holder or underwriter. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of any Holder or underwriter or any officer, director or controlling Person of such Holder or underwriter and shall survive the transfer of securities. 

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder severally, and not jointly, will, if shares of Registrable Securities
held by such Person are included in the securities as to which such registration or offering is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, each legal counsel and independent accountant of the
Company, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Company’s securities covered by such registration or offering, any Person who
controls such underwriter, and any other Holder selling securities in such registration and each of its directors, officers, partners or agents or any Person who controls such Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or
several) to which the Company or any such underwriter, other Holder, director, officer, partner or agent or controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration or offering, and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such underwriter, other Holder,
officer, director, partner or agent or controlling Person in 

  
 15 

 
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(b) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied); and provided, that
in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 8(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including
any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party
shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided,
however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that representation of such indemnified
party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of any
indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under
this Section 8 only to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially prejudice the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the
indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. 
 (d) If
the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu
of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. No party shall be liable for contribution under this Section 8 except to the extent and under
such circumstances as such party would have been liable for indemnification under this Section 8 if such indemnification were enforceable under applicable law. 

  
 16 

 (e) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 8 shall
survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement. 
 (f) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any registration or offering provided for under Section 2, Section 3 or Section 4 are in
conflict with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, the provisions in such underwriting agreement shall control. 
  

	 	Section 9.	Rule 144 Reporting 

 The Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder following an exchange of Tallgrass Equity
Units and TEGP Class B Shares for TEGP Class A Shares to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable
Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 
  

	 	Section 10.	Assignment of Rights 

 The provisions hereof will inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the successors and assigns of each of the Parties hereto, except as otherwise provided herein. Any Holder may Transfer all or a portion of its Registable Securities to another Holder (to the extent such Transfer is otherwise permissible under
this Agreement) in connection with an assignment of its rights hereunder with respect thereto. In the event of any Transfer by any Holder of all or a portion of its Registrable Securities to any third party other than a Holder, all rights under this
Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities so Transferred shall cease and terminate; provided, however, that the registration rights granted hereby may be transferred to any Person to whom a Holder transfers Registrable Securities pursuant
to a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with the terms of the Tallgrass Equity LLC Agreement; provided further, that any such transferee shall not be entitled to rights pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4 hereof unless such transferee of
registration rights hereunder agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof and executes and delivers to the Company an acknowledgment and agreement to such effect; and provided further that a Demanding Holder’s right to make a single
and final request with respect to its remaining Registrable Securities may not be assigned to any transferee unless the transferee acquires Registrable Securities having a fair market value at the time of transfer of the last prior transfer of
Registrable Securities, of at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000). Any Holder transferring Registrable Securities shall provide notice of any such transfer to the Company, including the identity and notice information for the transferee. 

  
 17 

 In the event that EMG, Kelso, Tallgrass KC, Wylie or Hobbs effect a Transfer in accordance with
the terms of the Tallgrass Equity LLC Agreement, notwithstanding any such Transfer, EMG, Kelso, Tallgrass KC, Wylie or Hobbs, as applicable, shall act as the representative of such transferees for all purposes under this Agreement and thereafter
remain the notice party for all purposes under this Agreement with respect to such transferees, and EMG, Kelso, Tallgrass KC, Wylie or Hobbs, as applicable, shall be responsible for providing notices to, and delivering response from, such
transferees. 
  

	 	Section 11.	Amendment of Registration Rights 

 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any
provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a
majority of the Registrable Securities. 
 Annex A hereto may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Company to reflect
any Transfers that result in Registrable Securities no longer qualifying as Registrable Securities or Transfers involving an assignment of Registrable Securities effected in accordance with Section 10, and any such amendment or supplement shall not
be considered an amendment of this Agreement. Upon the reasonable request of the Company from time to time, each Holder hereby agrees to provide a certification to the Company as to the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder. 

 

	 	Section 12.	Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights 

 From and after the date of this Agreement
and so long as the original Parties to this Agreement continue to own at least ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Securities initially subject to this Agreement, the Company shall not, without approval of the Holders of at least a majority of
the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are equivalent to or more favorable than
the registration rights granted to holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, or which would reduce the amount of Registrable Securities the holders can include in any registration filed or offering effected pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4
hereof, unless such rights are subordinate to those of the Holders of Registrable Securities. 
  

	 	Section 13.	Transfer Restrictions; “Market Stand-off” Agreement 

(a) During the Lock-Up Period, each Holder hereby agrees not to, and hereby agrees to cause its respective Affiliates
not to, directly or indirectly, Transfer any TEGP Class A Shares issuable upon exchange of their Tallgrass Equity Units and TEGP Class B Shares; provided that the foregoing Persons may effect any Transfer to a Permitted Transferee (as
such term is defined in the Tallgrass Equity LLC Agreement) so long as any transferee in such Transfer agrees in writing to be subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 13 for the remaining term of the Lock-Up Period. 

(b) In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder hereby agrees, subject to and
following its receipt of notice from 

  
 18 

 
the Company, that it (i) will not, to the extent requested by the Company and any underwriter, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities, except securities included
in such offering or certain Transfers of securities to Permitted Transferees pursuant to the Tallgrass Equity LLC Agreement, during the 45 calendar days (or such other time period as the underwriters may reasonably request) beginning on the date of
a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed in connection with the pricing of such offering, and (ii) will enter into agreements with the underwriter in connection with any such sale to give effect to the foregoing. In order to enforce the
foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each such Holder (and the shares or securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing
restriction) until the end of such 45-calendar-day period (or such other time period as the underwriters may reasonably request). 
  

	 	Section 14.	Miscellaneous 

 (a) Notices. All notices and other
communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing or be delivered via e-mail (which shall also constitute written notice) and shall be deemed to have been duly given and received when, if in writing, delivered by overnight
courier or hand delivery, when sent via e-mail, receipt of such e-mail is confirmed by the recipient thereof (either by e-mail or orally), when sent by fax, or three Business Days after mailing if sent by registered or certified mail (return receipt
requested) postage prepaid, to the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for any Party as shall be specified by like notices, provided that notices of a change of address shall be effective only upon receipt
thereof).

 (b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

(c) Headings. The section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and
shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 (d) Governing Law. THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER
JURISDICTION. 

  
 19 

 (e) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction
of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no
way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the Parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the Parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable. 
 (f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the
Parties as a final expression of their agreement, and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions,
promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein, with respect to the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to Registrable Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior written or oral
agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter. 
 (g) Securities
Held by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or its subsidiaries shall not be counted

 (h)
Termination. This Agreement shall terminate when no shares of Registrable Securities remain outstanding; provided that Sections 8 and 14 shall survive any termination hereof. 

(i) Aggregation of Registrable Securities. All Registrable Securities held or acquired by Persons who are
Affiliates of one another shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement. 

(j) Specific Performance. The Parties hereto recognize and agree that money damages may be insufficient to
compensate the Holders of any Registrable Securities for breaches by the Company of the terms hereof and, consequently, that the equitable remedy of specific performance of the terms hereof will be available in the event of any such breach.

director compensation; 
 it being agreed, however, that to the extent any reimbursable costs or expenses incurred by the Holdings Entities consist of an

Holdings.

 ARTICLE III 

License of Name and Mark 

3.1 Grant of License. Upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Article III, Holdings hereby grants and conveys to
each of the entities currently or hereafter comprising a part of the Partnership Group and to the General Partner a shared, nontransferable, nonexclusive, royalty free right and license (“License”) to Holdings’s right to
use the name “Tallgrass” (the “Name”) and any associated or related marks (the “Marks”). 

3.2 Ownership and Quality. The Partnership and the General Partner agree that ownership of the Name and the Marks and the goodwill
relating thereto shall remain vested in Holdings both during the term of this License and thereafter, and the Partnership and the General Partner further agree, and agree to cause the other Partnership Entities, never to challenge, contest or
question the validity of Holdings’s ownership of the Name and the Marks or any registration thereto by Holdings. In connection with the use of the Name and the Marks, the Partnership, the General Partner and any other Partnership Entity shall
not in any manner represent that they have any ownership in the Name and the Marks or registration thereof except as set forth herein, and the Partnership and the General Partner, on behalf of itself and the other Partnership Entities, acknowledge
that the use of the Name and the Marks shall not create any right, title or interest in or to the Name and the Marks, and all use of the Name and the Marks by the Partnership, the General Partner or any other Partnership Entity, shall inure to the
benefit of Holdings. The Partnership and the General Partner agree, and agree to cause the other Partnership Entities, to use the Name and Marks in accordance with such quality standards established by Holdings and communicated to the Partnership
and the General Partner from time to time, it being understood that the products and services offered by the Partnership Entities immediately before the Closing Date are of a quality that is acceptable to Holdings and justifies the License. In the
event any Partnership Entity is determined by Holdings to be using the Name and the Marks in a manner not in accordance with quality standards established by Holdings, Holdings shall provide written notice of such unacceptable use including the
reason why applicable quality standards are not being met. If acceptable proof that quality standards are met is not provided to Holdings within thirty (30) days of such notice, the entity’s license to use the Name and the Marks shall
terminate and shall not be renewed absent written authorization from Holdings. 
 3.3 Termination. In the
event of termination of this Agreement, pursuant to Section 4.4 or otherwise, or the termination of the License, the Partnership Entities’ right to utilize or possess the Name and the Marks licensed under this Agreement shall
automatically cease, and no later than ninety (90) days following such termination, (a) the Partnership Entities shall cease all use of the Name and the Marks and shall adopt trademarks, service marks, and trade names that are not
confusingly similar to the Name and the Marks, provided, however, that any use of the Name or the Marks during such 90-day period shall continue to be subject to Section 3.2, (b) at Holdings’s request, the Partnership
Entities shall destroy all materials and content upon which the Name or the Marks continue to appear (or otherwise modify such materials and content such that the use or appearance of the Name or the Marks ceases) that are under the Partnership
Entities’ control, and certify in writing to Holdings that the Partnership Entities have done so, and (c) each Partnership Entity shall change its legal name so that there is no reference therein to the name “Tallgrass” or d/b/a
then used by any Holdings Entity or any variation, derivation or abbreviation thereof, and in connection therewith, shall make all necessary filings of certificates with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and to otherwise amend its
organizational documents by such date.

4.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties relating to the matters contained herein,
superseding all prior contracts or agreements, whether oral or written, relating to the matters contained herein. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, the provisions of
the Partnership Agreement shall control. 
 4.4 Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, (i) if the General Partner is removed as general partner of the Partnership under circumstances where Cause does not exist and the Class A Shares and Class B Shares held by the General Partner and its Affiliates are not voted in
favor of such removal, then this Agreement, other than the provisions set forth in Section 3.3, may at any time thereafter be terminated by Holdings by written notice to the other Parties, or (ii) if a Change of Control of the
Partnership occurs, then this Agreement, other than the provisions set forth in Section 3.3, may at any time thereafter be terminated by Holdings by written notice to the other Parties.  

4.5 Effect of Waiver or Consent. No waiver or consent, express or implied, by any Party to or of any breach or default by any
Person in the performance by such Person of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such Person of the same or any other obligations of such 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. 
 4.6 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 Partnership 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, would be adverse in any material respect to the holders of Class A Shares. Each such instrument shall be reduced to
writing and shall be designated on its face an “Amendment” or an “Addendum” to this Agreement.

 4.7 Assignment; Third-Party Beneficiaries. No Party shall have the right to assign
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other Parties hereto. Each of the Parties hereto specifically agrees that each member of the Partnership Group, 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. Except as contemplated by the preceding sentence,
this Agreement does not create any rights or benefits for any entity or individual other than the Parties. 
 4.8
Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and to their respective successors and assigns. 

4.9 Continuation of Work During Dispute. Notwithstanding any dispute, it shall be the responsibility of each Party to continue to
perform its obligations under this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute. 
 4.10 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including facsimile or portable document format (.pdf) 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. 
 4.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction, 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. 
 4.12 Rules of
Construction. 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. Unless otherwise specifically indicated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “include,” “includes” and “including” as used in this
Agreement shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” 
 4.13 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. 

4.14 Withholding or Granting of Consent. Unless otherwise provided herein, 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.

 4.15 Laws and Regulations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, no Party shall take any act, or fail to take any act, under this Agreement which would violate any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation. 

4.16 Negation of Rights of Limited Partners, Assignees and Third Parties. Except as set forth in Section 4.7, the
provisions of this Agreement are enforceable solely by the Parties, and no stockholder, limited partner, member or assignee of a Party shall have the right, separate and apart from such Party, to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to compel
any Party to comply with the terms of this Agreement. 
 4.17 No Recourse Against Officers or Directors. For the
avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Agreement shall not give rise to any right of recourse against any officer or director of Holdings, the General Partner, the Partnership, Tallgrass Equity or any member of the Partnership Group.

 4.18 Legal Compliance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, and all services provided under this
Agreement, are intended to comply with any and all laws and legal obligations and that this Agreement should be construed and interpreted with this purpose in mind.
