	(b)
	Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation. The Participant acknowledges and recognizes his status as a key executive and management employee of the Company, his possession of the Company’s trade secret and confidential and/or proprietary information which would be valuable or useful to the Company’s competitors, and the highly competitive nature of the business of the Company and the other members of the Tallgrass Group.  Participant further acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the immediate interests of the Company and the other members of the Tallgrass Group in that any violation of these restrictions would cause substantial injury to the Company and the other members of the Tallgrass Group.  Therefore, in consideration of the Participant’s continued employment with the Company or any Affiliate and the benefits provided to Participant under this Award, and to further protect the proprietary, trade secret, and confidential information of the Tallgrass Group, the Participant agrees that, during the Prohibited Period the Participant will not:

		
	(i)
	engage in a Prohibited Activity; or

		
	(ii)
	solicit, entice, induce or in any manner influence any person who has an employee or independent contractor relationship with any member of the Tallgrass Group and with whom the Participant had contact, directly or indirectly, during the term of the Participant's employment, to change or end such relationship or hire, recruit, or attempt to hire or recruit, any such person to provide services for an affiliate of the Participant.

		
	(c)
	Non-disparagement. So long as the Participant is an employee of the Company or any Affiliate and thereafter (including after the termination of the Participant's employment), the Participant will not make any comments, in any format, whether written, electronic or oral, disparaging of any member of the Tallgrass Group or critical of the business performance, methods, practices, operations, decisions or plans of any member of the Tallgrass Group to any third party.

		
	(d)
	Protected Disclosures. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Participant from reporting possible violations of law or regulation to any 

governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Additionally, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Participant does not need the prior authorization of the Company or any member of the Tallgrass Group to make any such reports or disclosures and the Participant is not required to notify the Company or any member of the Tallgrass Group that the Participant has made such reports or disclosures.
		
	(e)
	Specific Performance. Recognizing that irreparable damage will result to the Company and the Tallgrass Group in the event of the breach of any of the foregoing covenants and assurances by the Participant contained in Section 8, and that the Company's remedies at law for any such breach or threatened breach will be inadequate, the Company, in addition to such other remedies that may be available to it, will be entitled to an injunction, including a mandatory injunction, to be issued by any court of competent jurisdiction ordering compliance with this Agreement or enjoining and restraining the Participant, and each and every person and entity acting in concert or participation with him, from the continuation of the breach. The Company will not be required to obtain a bond in an amount greater than $1,000. The covenants and obligations of the Participant set forth in Section 8 are in addition to and not in lieu of or exclusive of any other obligations and duties of the Participant to the Company or any member of the Tallgrass Group, whether express or implied in fact or in law.

		
	(f)
	Reformation. The Company and the Participant agree that the foregoing geographic, duration and other restrictions contained in this Agreement are fair, reasonable, and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests, given the geographic scope of the Company’s business operations, the competitive and specialized nature of the Company’s business, and the nature of Participant’s position with the Company and that any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 8 would cause irreparable injury to the Tallgrass Group. The Participant expressly represents that enforcement of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 8 will not impose an undue hardship upon the Participant or any person or entity affiliated with the Participant. The Participant understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit the Participant’s ability to engage in Prohibited Activities during the Prohibited Period, but acknowledges that the Participant will receive sufficiently high remuneration and other benefits from the Company to justify such restriction. Further, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant’s skills are such that the Participant can be gainfully employed in non-competitive employment, and that the restrictive covenants will not prevent the Participant from earning a living. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions herein set forth to be modified by the court making such determination so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced.

		
	9.
	No Employment Guaranteed.  No provision of this Agreement shall confer any right upon the Participant to continued employment with the Company or any Affiliate, and Participant acknowledges that Participant's employment with the Company or any Affiliate is on an at-will basis.  

		
	10.
	Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, except with respect to Section 8, which shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas.

		
	11.
	Amendment.  This Agreement cannot be modified, altered or amended, except by an agreement, in writing, signed by both the Company and the Participant.

		
	12.
	Continuing Obligations; Entire Agreement. Participant acknowledges and agrees that Participant continues to remain bound by, and is required to continue to comply with, the (i) Confidentiality Agreement and Assignment of Inventions dated [________] between Participant and the Company (the "Confidentiality Agreement") and (ii) Acceptance Statement dated [________] (the "Acceptance Agreement") and that such agreements remain in full force and effect, unchanged by the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement and the Acceptance Agreement, constitutes and expresses the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may be modified only by written agreement signed by the parties.

		
	13.
	Section 409A. The Equity Participation Units granted pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A, as a "short-term deferral," and ambiguous provisions hereof, if any, shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.  No payment, benefit or consideration shall be substituted for the Equity Participation Units if such action would result in the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A.  

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Plan provision or this Agreement results in the imposition of an additional tax under Code Section 409A, that Plan provision or provision of this Agreement shall be reformed, to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A, to avoid imposition of the additional tax, and no such action shall be deemed to adversely affect the Participant's rights to the Equity Participation Units.

(b)    Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the applicable Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by:  (A) telephone (in the case of Swing Line Loans issued by Bank of America only) or (B) a Swing Line Loan Notice.

13
    
    
    

Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time (in the case of Dollar-denominated Swing Line Loans) or 3:00 p.m. London time (in the case of Euro-denominated Swing Line Loans) on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the applicable Borrower by wire transfer to the account specified by the applicable Borrower in its Swing Line Loan Notice.
(c)    Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i)    The applicable Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the applicable Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the applicable Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Tranche 1 Lender make a Eurocurrency Rate Loan (with a one-month Interest Period) in the applicable currency in an amount equal to such Tranche 1 Lender’s Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Tranche 1 Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  The applicable Swing Line Lender shall furnish the applicable Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Tranche 1 Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in such currency not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Tranche 1 Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Eurocurrency Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Swing Line Lender.
(ii)    If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Eurocurrency Rate Loans submitted by the applicable Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the applicable Swing Line Lender that each of the Tranche 1 Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Tranche 1 Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii)    If any Tranche 1 Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender any 

14
    
    
    

amount required to be paid by such Tranche 1 Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the applicable Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Tranche 1 Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the applicable Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable  Overnight Rate (in the case of Dollar-denominated Swing Line Loans) or the Euro Overnight Rate (in the case of Euro-denominated Swing Line Loans) from time to time in effect, plus any administrative processing or similar fees customarily charged by the applicable Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Tranche 1 Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Tranche 1 Lender’s Tranche 1 Loan included in the relevant Tranche 1 Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of the applicable Swing Line Lender submitted to any Tranche 1 Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)    Each Tranche 1 Lender’s obligation to make Tranche 1 Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Tranche 1 Lender may have against the applicable Swing Line Lender, the applicable Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Tranche 1 Lender’s obligation to make Tranche 1 Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d)    Repayment of Participations.  
(i)    At any time after any Tranche 1 Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the applicable Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the applicable Swing Line Lender (through the Administrative Agent) will distribute to such Tranche 1 Lender its Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the applicable Swing Line Lender.
(ii)    If any payment received by the applicable Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by such Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Tranche 1 Lender shall pay to such Swing Line 

15
    
    
    

Lender its Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate (in the case of Dollar-denominated Swing Line Loans) or the Euro Overnight Rate (in the case of Euro-denominated Swing Line Loans).  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the applicable Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of the Tranche 1 Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e)    Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender.  Each Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the applicable Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans made by it.  Until each Tranche 1 Lender funds its Eurocurrency Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Tranche 1 Lender’s Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Tranche 1 Percentage shall be solely for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender.
(f)    Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender.  The applicable Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of its Swing Line Loans directly to the applicable Swing Line Lender.
(u)    Section 2.05(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

5.    Treatment of Outstanding Loans and Commitments.  (a)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders party to this Amendment (which constitute all of the Lenders after giving effect to the replacement of the Amendment No. 1 Non-Consenting Lender on the Interim Effective Date), (1) agree that their respective Commitments after the Amendment Effective Date are as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and (2) consent to the increase in the Aggregate Commitments provided for under this Amendment without the need to comply with the provisions of Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement.
(b)    Each of Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and HSBC Bank USA, N.A., which is not a Lender under the Credit Agreement prior to the Interim Effective Date, agrees (1) to become party to the Credit Agreement as a Lender with effect on and after the Interim Effective Date, (2) to be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) as a Lender thereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender thereunder, and (3) that its Commitments after the Amendment Effective Date (including after giving effect to the Assignment and Assumption from the Amendment No. 1 Non-Consenting Lender on the Interim Effective Date) are as set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

31
