Dear Sirs

We are pleased to confirm that we are prepared to provide to you a loan facility on the following
terms and conditions:
	 
	 	1.       The facility (“the loan”) shall solely be used for general corporate purposes (including
funding future acquisitions) and for providing working capital to Chandlers Garage
Holdings Limited (registered under company number 03211322).

Failure by you to comply with this shall not prejudice our rights and we shall not be
responsible for monitoring or ensuring the use or application by you of the facility.

	 
	 	2.       The maximum aggregate principal amount of the facility shall be £10,000,000 or such
lower amount which represents 80% of the market valuation of the Property referred to
in clause 9.2 (“ the Property”) available for drawdown subject to the condition precedent
that we have notified you that we have received all the documents and that all the other
matters in the schedule to this letter have occurred or been satisfied, in form, content and
extent satisfactory to us. Our obligation to make the advance is also conditional on your
being in compliance at the relevant time with the terms and conditions of, and there
being no breach or default under, this letter or the legal charge to be registered over the
Property (“Legal Charge”) in our favour or any other security document referred to in the
schedule to this letter (all such documents being referred to as the “Security
Documents”).

	 	 

	 	3.       Subject to the above conditions, you may draw amounts (each an “Advance”) in stages
provided that:

	 
	 	          3.1       you shall have given to us, not later than 10 am on the second Business Day
before the date of the proposed “Drawdown Date” (or at such later time as we

	 	 	 	may acting reasonably agree), notice of the intended drawing, such notice to be
irrevocable and in a form acceptable to us
	 
	 	3.2	 	In this letter, “Drawdown Date” means the date on which an Advance is made to
you under this facility and “Business Day” means a day (not being Saturday or
Sunday) on which clearing banks are open in London for normal business.
	 
	 	3.3	 	If the Loan has not been fully drawn down by 28 February 2010 the remainder
of the facility shall be cancelled unless you have received from us prior approval to
draw down after this date.
	 
	 	3.4	 	The minimum amount for each Advance shall be £200,000, or such lesser amount
as we may agree from time to time.

	 	 	 	 	 
	4.

	 	4.1
	 	Unless and to the extent the Loan is not fully drawn or is prepaid in
accordance with the terms of this facility letter in which case the scheduled repayment
amounts detailed in this clause shall be adjusted accordingly and shall reduce pro rata by the
amount of the Loan drawn down and/or prepaid, the Loan shall be repaid by you by a first
monthly instalment of principal of £98,061 followed by
101 consecutive monthly instalments of
principal of £98,039 each commencing on the first day of March 2010 and thereafter on the
first day of each succeeding month provided always that the Loan shall be repaid in full by
you no later than 31 August 2018. If any payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day it
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with interest to the actual date of payment.
Payments shall be made by direct debit on your bank account or by such other means as we may
in our discretion require. We shall notify you promptly and in any event within 10 Business
Days of any adjustment to the scheduled repayment amounts in accordance with this clause.

	 	 	You may, if you give us not less than 2 days’ prior irrevocable written notice (for amounts
of up to £1,000,000) or 10 days’ (or such shorter period as we may agree) prior irrevocable
written notice (for amounts over £1,000,000), prepay or cancel the whole or any part of the
Loan (being a minimum amount of £50,000 or such lesser amount as the Lender may agree).
	 
	 	 	Any prepayment made in accordance with this clause 4 shall, unless otherwise stipulated, be
applied:
	 
	(a)	 	first in payment of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Lender hereunder;
	 
	(b)	 	second, in payment to the Lender of accrued interest, fees and other amounts (excluding
principal) due but unpaid hereunder; and
	 
	(c)	 	third, in payment to the Lender of principal hereunder.

interest on the amount prepaid but otherwise without premium or penalty.

	 	4.2	 	If you cease to be an authorised dealer of BMW (UK) Limited
at any time in the future we reserve the right to review this facility and if,
acting reasonably, we believe your ceasing to be an authorised dealer of BMW
(UK) Limited will have a material adverse effect upon your ability to meet your
payment obligations under this facility letter in full we may demand repayment
of the loan and all amounts due under this facility letter on 28 days’ notice.

	 	5.	 	Interest on the principal amount of the Loan outstanding from time to time
shall be payable at the rate of 1.0% per annum above the highest of the following:

	 	5.1	 	three-month Sterling BBA LIBOR as published on the 1st of each and every
month during the term of the Loan or the next Business Day if these dates fall on
a non Business Day (BBA LIBOR is the British Banking Association fixing of the
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate. It is based on offered inter-bank deposit rates
contributed in accordance with the Instructions to BBA LIBOR Contributor Banks);

	 	 	 	or

	 	5.2	 	3.00% per annum

	 	 	 	(the “Applicable Base Rate”) or at such other rate or rates of interest as we may from
time to time agree with you by not less than one month’s notice in writing to you.
Interest shall accrue from day to day both before and after judgement and shall be
calculated on the basis of a 365 day year and shall be debited to your account on the
last day of each calendar month and shall then be immediately due and payable by you
by direct debit on your bank account or by such other means as we may in our
discretion agree.

	 	6.	 	If any amount owing by you under this letter (whether principal, interest or
otherwise) is not paid on the due date or if a direct debit is rejected you shall pay
interest on that amount or the amount of the direct debit (as the case may be) from the
due date for payment thereof or from the date of rejection of the direct debit (as the
case may be) to the date that that amount is received by us at the rate of 5% per annum
above the Finance House Base Rate, as published by the Finance & Leasing Association,
from time to time (provided that no reduction in the Finance House Base Rate below 3%
shall be taken into account).
	 
	 	7.	 	All payments to be made by you under the facility shall be paid without any
deduction, set off or withholding whatsoever (except as required by law). If you are
required by law to deduct any taxes from any amounts paid by you under this letter you
shall pay those taxes when due and deliver to us evidence satisfactory to us (including
all tax receipts) that the payment has been remitted to the appropriate authority.

	 	 	then the whole amount of the outstanding Loan and all accrued interest and other
amounts owing under the Loan shall so long as any such default is continuing
become repayable forthwith on demand in writing being made by us at any time.
	 
	12.	 	12.1 You will, within three Business Days of a demand by us, pay
to us the amount of any increased cost incurred by us or any holding company of ours
as the result of the imposition of or any change in, or any change in the
interpretation or application of, taking effect after the date of this letter any
law or regulation or directive (including any law or regulation or directive
relating to taxation, or reserve asset, special deposit, cash ratio, liquidity or
capital adequacy requirements or any other form of monetary control) in England or
Germany or any other relevant jurisdiction.

In this letter “increased cost” means:

	 	(a)	 	an additional cost incurred by us (or any
holding company of ours) as a
result of us having entered into, or performing or maintaining or
funding
each advance and our other obligations under this letter; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	a reduction in any amount payable to us or the
effective return to us (or to
any holding company of ours) under this letter or on our capital (or
that of
any holding company of ours); or
	 
	 	(c)	 	the amount of any payment made by us, or the
amount of any interest
foregone by us, calculated by reference to any amount received or
receivable by us from you. We shall, in consultation with you, take
all
reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which
would result in any amount becoming payable under or pursuant to
this
clause 12.
	 
	 	 	 	We confirm we are beneficially entitled to interest payable to us in
respect of an advance under this facility letter and we are a
company resident in the United Kingdom for United Kingdom tax
purposes.

	 	12.2	 	(a)    If more than one currency or currency unit is

	 	(ii)	 	any translation from one currency
or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of
exchange recognised by the Bank of England (or any other relevant
supervisory body) for the conversion of that currency or currency
unit into the other;

	 	(b)	 	If a change in Sterling occurs (including, without limitation, in
consequence of European Monetary Union) the terms of this letter and
Security Documents will be amended in the manner specified by us acting
reasonably to reflect the change in currency and to put us in the same
position, as far as possible, as we would have been had no change
occurred and to ensure that we suffer no additional cost, expense,
liability or reduction in our rate of return under this letter as a
result.

	 	12.3	 	If we seek to exercise our rights under paragraph 12.1, you will
be entitled at any time on five Business days’ written notice to us to repay the
Loan in whole together with accrued interest thereon without penalty.

	13.	13.1	At any time when you are in default in paying any sums due under
this letter, or we reasonably consider that the value of the Property has materially
fallen we may obtain any independent report or valuation on or of the Property from any
person selected by us in our discretion. Subject to Clause 13.2, the cost (inclusive of
any applicable VAT) of any such report or valuation shall be for your account and
payable to us on demand.

	 	13.2	 	If we require more than one report or valuation on or of the
Property in any
period of twelve months we shall bear the cost of any additional valuations
unless you are at the time of our requisitioning the report or valuation in
breach
of any of your obligations under this letter or we are entitled under
paragraph 11
to demand early repayment of the Loan.
	 
	 	 	 	You will comply or procure compliance with any requirement in respect of the
report or valuation within seven days after receiving notice of the
requirements (and for the avoidance of doubt any failure so to comply or
procure compliance will constitute an irremediable breach of this letter for
the purposes of paragraph 11.2 above).
	 
	 	13.3	 	If we obtain any valuation of the Property which indicates that the
Loan exceeds
85% of the open market value of your interest in the Property at such time,
then
we may so long as such conditions subsist at our option by notice in writing
to you
do any one or more of the following, namely:

	 	     (a)	 	require you to pay or discharge to us such part of Loan not
exceeding the excess as we may specify; or

	 	 	 	You will comply or procure compliance with any such notice within seven days
after the date of the notice (and for the avoidance of doubt any failure so
to comply or procure compliance constitutes an irremediable breach of this

	14.	 	You will pay to us on demand all expenses (including legal and out-of-pocket
expenses and together with Value Added Tax) on a full indemnity basis incurred by us in
connection with the negotiation and preparation and execution of this letter and the
Security Documents, the fulfilment of all the conditions precedent set out in the
schedule to this letter and any amendment or extension of and the granting of any waiver
or consent under this letter and or any Security Document and you shall also pay to us

expenses and together with Value Added Tax) on a full indemnity basis by us in
connection with the enforcement of or the preservation of any rights under this letter
or any of the Security Documents.
	 
	15.	 	If we receive any payment from you which is insufficient to discharge all the
amounts then due and payable by you under this letter, we shall apply that payment
towards your obligations under this letter in such order as we may, in our sole and
absolute discretion, consider appropriate and that application shall override any
application made by you.
	 
	16.	 	Our rights under this letter and the Security Documents:

	 	(a)	 	may be exercised as often as necessary;
	 
	 	(b)	 	are cumulative and not exclusive of our rights under the
general law; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	may be waived only in writing and specifically.
	 
	 	Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right is not a waiver of that right.

	17.	 	You may not assign, transfer, novate or dispose of any of, or any interest in,
your rights and/or obligations under this letter or any of the Security Documents. We
may assign or transfer all or any part of our rights and/or obligations under this
letter or any of the Security Documents under prior advice to you. We may disclose to

Omnibus Agreement on, and effective as of August 20, 2007.

     B. As a result of a reorganization that occurred on May 31, 2008 (the “Reorganization”), EI
was merged with and into EES.

     C. The Parties desire to amend Section 3.2(a) of the Omnibus Agreement to (i) increase
the maximum selling, general and administrative costs that may be allocated to the Partnership to
take into account the contribution of certain compression services agreements and compression

into account the New Assets.

     E. The Parties desire to restate Schedules A, B, C and D of the Omnibus Agreement to reflect

     FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledge, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. Omnibus Agreement Amendment.

     (a) The definition of “Limit Period” in Section 1.1 of the Omnibus Agreement is
hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

     “ “Limit Period” means the period commencing on July 1, 2008 and ending on December 31,
2009.”

     (b) The definition of “Cost of Sales” in Section 1.1 of the Omnibus Agreement
is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

     “ “Cost of Sales” means any costs incurred of the type included in the “Cost of sales
(excluding depreciation expense)” line item in the consolidated statement of operations of
the Partnership prepared in accordance with GAAP, as applied as of the Effective Date.”

     (c) The Omnibus Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Section 3.2(a) in its
entirety with the following:

“Notwithstanding Section 3.1, the amount that the Exterran Entities are entitled to receive
from the Partnership Group pursuant to Section 3.1 for selling, general and administrative
costs during any particular quarter commencing with the quarter in which the Transaction is
consummated during the Limit Period shall not exceed $6.0 million (the “SG&A Limit”);
provided, that with respect to the quarter during which the Transaction is consummated, it
means the sum of (i) the product of $4.75 million multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator is the number of days in such period prior to consummation of the Transaction and
of which the denominator is 91 or 92 as applicable and (ii) the product of $6.0 million
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of days in such period on and
after consummation of the Transaction and of which the denominator is 91 or 92 as
applicable. The SG&A Limit shall be reduced by any cash selling, general and administrative
costs incurred directly by the Partnership Group during the applicable period. In the event
that during the Limit Period the Partnership Group makes any additional acquisitions of
assets or businesses or the business of the Partnership Group otherwise expands after
consummation of the Transaction, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith any
appropriate increase in the SG&A Limit in order to account for any adjustments in the nature
and extent of the selling, general and administrative services provided by the Exterran
Entities to the Partnership Group, with any such increase in the SG&A Limit subject to the
approval of the Conflicts Committee.”

     (d) The Omnibus Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Section 3.2(b) in its
entirety with the following:

“Notwithstanding Section 3.1, the amount that the Exterran Entities are entitled to receive
from the Partnership Group pursuant to Section 3.1 for Cost of Sales during any

2

 

particular quarter during the Limit Period shall not exceed $21.75 times the Average
Horsepower of the Partnership Group during such quarter (the “Cost of Sales Limit”). The
Cost of Sales Limit shall be reduced by any Cost of Sales incurred directly by the
Partnership Group during the applicable period. In the event that during the Limit Period
the Partnership Group makes any additional acquisitions of assets or businesses or the
business of the Partnership Group otherwise expands after the Effective Date, then the
Parties shall negotiate in good faith any appropriate increase in the Cost of Sales Limit in
order to account for any adjustments in the Cost of Sales of the Partnership Group (on a per
horsepower basis) as a result of such acquisition or expansion, with any such increase in
the Cost of Sales Limit subject to the approval of the Conflicts Committee.”

     (e) The Omnibus Agreement is hereby amended by deleting all references to EI and by
replacing all references to UCO LLC with references to GP LLC.

     (f) The Omnibus Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Schedules A, B, C and D with the
respective schedules attached to this Amendment.

     2. Acknowledgement. Except as amended hereby, the Omnibus Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect as previously executed, and the Parties hereby ratify the Omnibus Agreement as
amended hereby.

     3. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more
counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties hereto and delivered (including by facsimile)
to the other Parties.
