“Third Party Claim”), with respect to any matter as to which an Service Provider Indemnified Party or an 

  
 - 7 -

 
Owner Indemnified Party as applicable (each, an “Indemnified Party”) asserts a right to indemnity under the provisions of this Agreement, it will give notice promptly
thereof in writing to the Party against which such a right is being asserted (the “Indemnifying Party”), together with a statement of such information respecting any of the foregoing as it shall have reasonable access to and
including a formal demand for indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnity Demand”). The Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any Indemnity Demand if the
Indemnified Party fails to notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the Indemnifying Party or its counsel to defend against such matter
and to make a timely response thereto including any responsive motion or answer to a complaint, petition, notice or other legal, equitable or administrative process relating to the Indemnity Demand. 

Section 3.5 Right to Contest and Defend Third Party Claims. 

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its cost and expense, to contest and defend, by all appropriate legal proceedings, any
Third Party Claim with respect to which it is called upon to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that notice of its admission that such Third Party Claim is subject to indemnity hereunder and its
intention to so contest shall be delivered by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days from the date of receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Indemnity Demand. Any such contest may be conducted in the name and
on behalf of the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party as may be appropriate. Such contest shall be conducted by reputable counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party and not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party, but the Indemnified
Party shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own choosing at its sole cost and expense. The Indemnifying Party shall have full authority to determine all actions to be
taken with respect to such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not have the authority to subject the Indemnified Party to any obligation, other than the performance of purely ministerial tasks or obligations
not involving material expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to contest and defend any such Third Party Claim as provided herein, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party.
If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms
obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, which releases the Indemnified Party completely and unconditionally in connection with such Third Party Claim, which involves no
finding or admission of liability, violation of Law, or other adverse matter by the Indemnified Party and which would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 3.5(a), the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third Party Claim) if the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnified Party which
the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any related Third Party Claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third Party Claim can be so separated
from that for money damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages. 

  
 - 8 -

 Section 3.6 Cooperation. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified
Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest or, if appropriate, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party
Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person, and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for any expenses incurred by it in so cooperating. At no cost or expense to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall
cooperate with the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim. 
 Section 3.7 Right to
Participate. If the Indemnifying Party does not properly elect to contest and defend a Third Party Claim as provided herein, the Indemnified Party agrees to afford the Indemnifying Party and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to
participate in, conferences with all Persons, including any Governmental Entity, asserting any Third Party Claim against the Indemnified Party or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such Persons. 

Section 3.8 Payment of Damages. The indemnification required hereunder shall be made by periodic payments of the amount
thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, within ten (10) days as and when reasonably specific bills are received or Loss is incurred and reasonable evidence thereof is delivered. In calculating any amount to be paid by an
Indemnifying Party by reason of the provisions of this Agreement, the amount shall be reduced by all cash tax benefits and other cash reimbursements (including insurance proceeds) actually received by the Indemnified Party related to the Losses.

 Section 3.9 Sole Remedy. No Party shall have any liability under this Agreement except as is provided in this
Agreement (other than claims or causes of action arising from fraud). 
 ARTICLE 4

of this Agreement insurance coverage for the Partnership Group and the Owner Assets that Service Provider determines is necessary or appropriate. Such insurance shall be procured from reputable insurance companies with an AM Best Rating of A-/VII or
better.

 Section 4.2 Other Requirements. For insurance coverages obtained pursuant to
Section 4.1, Service Provider will provide that the applicable insurer shall waive any right of recovery, under subrogation or otherwise, which the insurer may have or acquire against Service Provider and its Affiliates, the Partnership
Group and their respective directors, partners, officers, agents or employees for claims under such policies. All such coverage shall, where applicable, name the Partnership Group and its and their respective Affiliates or Service Provider and its
Affiliates, as applicable, as additional insureds, or as named insureds. Such insurance shall, to the extent of Service Provider’s or Owner’s indemnity obligations, be primary and non-contributing to any other insurance that is available
to Owner or Service Provider. All insurance coverage obtained by Service Provider in relation to this Agreement shall be endorsed to provide that cancellation, termination or other material change shall not be effective without thirty (30) days

ARTICLE II. 

SECONDMENT 

Section 2.1 Seconded Employees. 
 The electronic record of all active DCP Midstream employees, maintained by the DCP Midstream Human Resources Department in the electronic database known as the Human Resources Information System (the
“Seconded Employee Schedule”), sets forth a true, complete and accurate list of each employee (each such employee and each other employee who is subsequently seconded to DCP Partners in accordance with this Agreement, a
“Seconded Employee” and collectively, the “Seconded Employees”) who, beginning on the Effective Date or the date after the Effective Date on which the Seconded Employee is Seconded, and when they are
performing duties at DCP Partners assets or facilities or are otherwise working on behalf of DCP Partners, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, DCP Midstream agrees to second to DCP Partners, and DCP Partners agrees to accept such secondment
(the “Secondment”). 
 The Seconded Employees will remain at all times employees of DCP Midstream, but,
in addition, when they are performing duties at DCP Partners assets or facilities or are otherwise working on behalf of DCP Partners then they will also be joint employees of DCP Partners during the Period of Secondment (as defined below) and shall,
subject to Section 2.4, at all times during the Period of Secondment, work under the ultimate direction, supervision and control of DCP Partners. Those active employees whose titles in the Human Resources Information System reflect that
they serve as supervisors or managers and who are called upon to oversee the work of Seconded Employees working at DCP Partners assets or facilities or to provide management support on behalf of DCP Partners are designated by DCP Partners as
supervisors (each, a “DCP Partners Supervisor,” and collectively, “DCP Partners Supervisors,”) to act on the behalf of DCP Partners in directing, supervising, and controlling the Seconded Employees.
Any Seconded Employee so designated will be acting on the behalf of DCP Partners when directing, supervising, or controlling the work of the Seconded Employees or when they are otherwise providing management or executive support on behalf of DCP
Partners. 
 DCP Midstream retains the right to hire or discharge the Seconded Employees with respect to their employment with
DCP Midstream. Subject to the provisions in Sections 2.2 and 2.4, none of DCP Midstream or any other DCP Midstream Entity will otherwise exercise direction, supervision or control over the Seconded Employees. For each Seconded
Employee, the “Period of Secondment” shall be that period of time as set forth in Section 2.2. Subject to the above proviso and Section 2.3, individuals may be added to or removed from the Seconded
Employee Schedule from time to time by the addition or deletion of such persons in the electronic record of all active DCP Midstream employees, supervisors, managers and executives, maintained by the DCP Midstream Human Resources Department in the
electronic database 

  
 -4-

 
known as the Human Resources Information System, when they are ceasing employment, when they are starting employment, or are performing duties at DCP Partners assets or facilities or are
otherwise working on behalf of DCP Partners, which will be fully binding on the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement. 

Section 2.2 Period of Secondment. 
 DCP Midstream will second to DCP Partners each Seconded Employee on the Effective Date, as described with respect to the Seconded Employee Schedule, and continue to second, during the period that the
Seconded Employee is performing services for DCP Partners, until the earliest of: 
 (a) the end of the term of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 6.1; 
 (b) a resignation or termination of employment with respect to such Seconded
Employee; 
 (c) a termination of Secondment for such Seconded Employee by DCP Partners under Section 2.3;

 (d) the date on which DCP Midstream ceases to own, directly or indirectly, the general partner of DCP Partners. 

At the end of the Period of Secondment for any Seconded Employee, such Seconded Employee will no longer be subject to the direction of
DCP Partners with regard to the Seconded Employee’s day-to-day activities unless such individual thereafter otherwise becomes employed by DCP Partners. 
 Section 2.3 Termination of Secondment. 
 DCP Partners will have
the right to terminate the Secondment to it of any Seconded Employee for any reason at any time, upon prior written notice to DCP Midstream (such terminated Seconded Employees are referred to as “Removed Employees”). Upon the
termination of a Secondment, the Seconded Employee will cease performing services for DCP Partners. At no time will DCP Partners have the right to terminate the employment with DCP Midstream of the Seconded Employees. DCP Midstream shall in its sole
discretion determine whether the employment by DCP Midstream of any such Removed Employee shall be terminated following the termination of such Removed Employee’s Secondment or whether such Removed Employee shall be redeployed by DCP Midstream.
DCP Partners shall be responsible for any severance or other benefits accruing to any Removed Employee not redeployed by DCP Midstream. 
 Section 2.4 Supervision. 
 In the course and scope of
performing any Seconded Employee’s job functions for DCP Partners, the Seconded Employee will report into DCP Partners’ management structure, and will be under the direct management and supervision of DCP Partners. 

  
 -5-

 Section 2.5 Seconded Employee Qualifications. 

DCP Midstream will consistent with past practice and DCP Midstream hiring processes and qualification in effect from time to time provide
suitably qualified and experienced Seconded Employees. DCP Midstream does not warrant that the Secondment of the Seconded Employees will permit DCP Partners to achieve any specific results. 

Section 2.6 Benefit Plan Participation. 
 None of DCP Partners or any of its Subsidiaries shall be a participating employer in any Benefit Plan during the Period of Secondment. Subject to DCP Partners’s reimbursement obligations hereunder,
DCP Midstream and its Affiliates (other than DCP Partners and its Subsidiaries) shall remain solely responsible for all obligations and Liabilities arising under the express terms of the Benefit Plans, and during the Period of Secondment, none of
DCP Partners or any of its Subsidiaries shall assume any Benefit Plan or have any obligations or Liabilities arising under the express terms of the Benefit Plans, in each case except for cost reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement. 

ARTICLE III. 
 DCP PARTNERS EMPLOYEE SERVICES 
 Section 3.1 DCP Partners
Employee Services. 
 Those services provided by the Seconded Employees shall be referred to herein as the “DCP
Partners Employee Services”. 
 Section 3.2 Cancellation of DCP Partners Employee Services.

 DCP Partners may terminate any of DCP Partners Employee Services on 30 days’ prior written notice to DCP Midstream.
In the event DCP Partners terminates DCP Partners Employee Services, DCP Partners shall pay DCP Midstream the monthly installment for the last month (or portion thereof) in which it received such terminated services, and shall also include any
accrued benefits that might be triggered or become due and payable for such Seconded Employees. Upon payment thereof, DCP Partners shall have no further services payment obligations to DCP Midstream pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such
terminated services. 
 Section 3.3 Workers’ Compensation. 

During the Period of Secondment, DCP Midstream will maintain workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance (either
through an insurance company or qualified self-insured program) which shall include and afford coverage to the Seconded Employees including during when they are under Secondment. DCP Midstream will name DCP Partners as a named insured under such
insurance policies or qualified self-insured programs. Subject to Article IV, DCP Midstream will use the Services Reimbursement paid by DCP Partners to pay an appropriate and commensurate amount of the workers’ compensation and
employer’s liability insurance premiums for DCP Partners’ purposes, using a form or pro-ration methodology based on salaries and loading allocated to DCP Partners, to be defined and agreed to between DCP Partners and DCP Midstream, and DCP
Midstream will pay from its own funds the balance of the amount due 

  
 -6-

 
of such insurance premiums for DCP Midstream’s purposes. For the purposes of workers’ compensation and employer’s liability laws and coverage, DCP Midstream and DCP Partners will
be joint employers of the Seconded Employees. Each Seconded Employee is to acknowledge that the Seconded Employee, when under Secondment, is an employee of both DCP Midstream and DCP Partners and that for any work place injury, the Seconded
Employee’s sole remedy against either DCP Midstream or DCP Partners will be under the workers’ compensation insurance policy or qualified self-insured program of DCP Midstream. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude a
Seconded Employee from participating in benefit programs generally available to employees of DCP Midstream. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement has any effect on the right of a Seconded Employee to prosecute a workers’
compensation claim against DCP Midstream, DCP Partners, or both. 
 Section 3.4 This Agreement Predominates;
Statutory Employer Relationship 
 The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is entered into in conjunction with the
Services Agreement, but that where any conflict is found between this Agreement and the Services Agreement, this Agreement shall predominate. Subject to the forgoing sentence, the Parties acknowledge that the services provided for under this
Agreement and under the Services Agreement are an integral part of and essential to the ability of DCP Partners to generate the goods, products, and services of DCP Partners, and to enable DCP Partners to fulfill its business and commercial
contracts, which are the core of its business. By executing this Agreement and the Services Agreement, DCP Partners undertakes to execute work that is part of its trade, business, and occupation. The Parties expressly recognize DCP Partners as the
statutory employer of DCP Midstream’s employees for workers’ compensation purposes, whether those employees be direct employees or statutory employees of DCP Midstream. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4, DCP Partners
remains the joint employer, with DCP Midstream, of the Seconded Employees when under Secondment, and should any conflict be found between this Section 3.4 and Section 3.3, Section 3.3 shall predominate.

 ARTICLE IV. 
 SERVICES REIMBURSEMENT 
 Section 4.1 Operational,
Management, Reporting and Routine Maintenance Expenses. 
 DCP Partners shall periodically reimburse DCP Midstream upon
request (in a form mutually agreed upon by DCP Partners and DCP Midstream) for all reimbursable expenses under Section 4.2 incurred by DCP Midstream with respect to the Seconded Employees in connection with the performance of DCP
Partners Employee Services during the preceding period (the “Services Reimbursement”). 

Section 4.2 Seconded Employees. 
 4.2.1 Services Reimbursement. The Services Reimbursement for each period during the Period of Secondment shall include all costs and expenses incurred for such period by DCP Midstream for the
Seconded Employees, including but not limited to the costs and expenses set forth below.

ARTICLE V. 

PAYMENT 

Section 5.1 Payment. 
 DCP Partners and DCP Midstream acknowledge and agree that DCP Midstream shall be responsible for paying the Seconded Employee Expenses (or providing the employee benefits with respect thereto, as
applicable) to the Seconded Employees, but that DCP Partners shall be responsible for reimbursing DCP Midstream for the Seconded Employee Expenses to the extent provided under Section 4.2 of this Agreement. Subject to DCP Partners’s
responsibility to so reimburse DCP Midstream, DCP Midstream agrees to indemnify and hold DCP Partners and its subsidiaries harmless from any and all Losses incurred by such entities related to DCP Midstream’s failure to carry out its duties for
