Should the Delegate be unwilling or unable to continue to serve as Delegate, or otherwise cease to serve as Delegate (including by reason of its removal as provided in the preceding sentence), then a replacement Delegate shall be selected by the unanimous vote of the Representatives.
(d)    If the Delegate is replaced pursuant to Section 3.4(c), the Delegate may prepare and submit to the Company an invoice for the costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred to transfer its duties, tasks and responsibilities to a successor Delegate. The Company will pay the Delegate’s invoice within 10 days of receipt, whereupon the departing Delegate will cooperate with the transition to the successor Delegate. Within 90 days after the Delegate’s replacement, the Delegate and the Management Committee will finalize the transition cost determination, with the departing Delegate refunding any overpayments made by the Company and with the Company paying any transition costs remaining unpaid.
(e)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, upon the request of any Representative, the Management Committee shall review any determination made by the Delegate that is described in the definition of “Available Cash” or any capital call issued by the Delegate pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(ii). If the Management Committee reviews any such determination or capital call, such determination shall be given effect, or such capital call shall be issued, as applicable, only if approved by Representatives representing at least 33% of the Percentage Interests (excluding any Representative appointed by the Member that is serving, or whose Affiliate is serving, as the Delegate).

Section 3.6    Notice of Management Committee Meetings. After the Effective Date, written notice of all regular meetings of the Management Committee must be given to all Representatives at least 15 days prior to any regular meeting of the Management Committee and two Business Days prior to any special meeting of the Management Committee. Any such notice, or waiver thereof, need not state the purpose of such meeting except as may otherwise be required by Law. Attendance of a Representative at a meeting (including pursuant to Section 3.5(d)) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such Representative attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called.
Section 3.7    Actions by the Management Committee.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all decisions of the Management Committee shall require the vote of the Representatives present at a meeting at which a quorum is present and representing greater than 85% of the Percentage Interests.  Each Representative shall hold a voting right equal to the Percentage Interest of the Member that appointed such Representative.  The Management Committee may establish committees, as needed, from time to time.
Section 3.8    Action by Written Consent.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Management Committee may act without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote so long as Representatives representing greater than 85% of the Percentage Interests shall have executed a written consent or consents with respect to any such Management Committee action taken in lieu of a meeting. 
Section 3.9    Officers.
(a)    Generally. The officers of the Company (the “Officers”) shall include at least a President, a Secretary and a Treasurer. The Delegate may appoint such additional Officers (including Vice Presidents, Assistant Secretaries and Assistant Treasurers) as the Delegate may desire. Any individual may hold two or more offices at the Company.
(b)    Appointment and Term of Office. The Officers shall be appointed by the Delegate at such time, for such term and to perform such duties as the Delegate shall determine within the authority delegated to the Delegate by, or in accordance with, this Agreement.  Any Officer may be removed, with or without cause, by the Delegate.  Vacancies in any office may be filled by the Delegate.  Any Officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Delegate. Any resignation shall take effect at the date of 

18

the receipt of that notice or at any later time specified in that notice; and, unless otherwise specified in that notice, the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any resignation is without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Company under any contract to which the Officer is a party. 
Section 3.10    Failure to Approve Budgets. If the Management Committee fails to timely approve any budget for the Company for any period, (i) the Delegate is hereby authorized to spend such amounts as are necessary or appropriate to meet the Company’s prior commitments and obligations and to conduct and maintain the Company’s operations and properties in a safe and efficient manner in accordance with industry practice, and (ii) the latest Approved Annual Budget for any prior period shall be used, and deemed approved by the Management Committee, for any subsequent period until the new budget (as applicable) for that period is so approved by the Management Committee.

The compensation paid to the Delegate shall be subject to the applicable Approved Annual Budget.
Section 3.12    Indemnification.
(a)    Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than Those by or in the Right of the Company.  Subject to Section 3.12(c), the Company shall indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company), by reason of the fact that such Person is or was an Officer, Delegate, or Representative (collectively, a “Covered Person”), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Covered Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner such Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful.
(b)    Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.  Subject to Section 3.12(c), the Company shall indemnify any Covered Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Covered Person, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Covered Person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner such Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Covered Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or 

19

suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such Covered Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
(c)    Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(b) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former Covered Person is proper in the circumstances because such Covered Person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(b), as the case may be. Such determination shall be made with respect to such Covered Persons by unanimous vote of the Representatives. To the extent that a present or former Covered Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Covered Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Covered Person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.
(d)    Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 3.12(c), a Covered Person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful if such Covered Person’s action was based on the records or books of account of the Company or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such Covered Person by an Officer or an officer of another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 3.12(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a Covered Person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(b), as the case may be.
(e)    Indemnification by a Court. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3.12(c), and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any Covered Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(b). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper in the circumstances because such Covered Person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(b), as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3.12(c) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Covered Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.12(e) shall be given to the Company promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Covered Person seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.
(f)    Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in 

20

this Section 3.12. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former Covered Persons may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate.
(g)    Non-exclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 3.12 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the Covered Persons specified in Section 3.12(a) and Section 3.12(b) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by Law. The provisions of this Section 3.12 shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any Covered Person who is not specified in Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(b) but whom the Company has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Act, or otherwise.
(h)    Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Covered Person against any liability asserted against such Covered Person and incurred by such Covered Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such Covered Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Covered Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 3.12.
(i)    Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 3.12, references to “the Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting enterprise, any constituent enterprise (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any Covered Person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent enterprise, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent enterprise serving at the request of such constituent enterprise as a director, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 3.12 with respect to the resulting or surviving enterprise as such Covered Person would have with respect to such constituent enterprise if its separate existence had continued. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 3.12 shall mean any other limited liability company or any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such Covered Person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent. For purposes of this Section 3.12, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a Covered Person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a Covered Person who acted in good faith and in a manner such Covered Person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Section 3.12.
(j)    Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 3.12 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a Officer, Delegate, or Representative and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a Covered Person.
(k)    Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.12 to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 3.12(e)), the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any Officer, Delegate, or Representative 

21

(or his or her heirs, executors, or legal representatives) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Covered Person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized under this Section 3.12.
(l)    Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Company’s President or Chief Executive Officer or by a vote of the Representatives representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interests, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents (other than Covered Persons) of the Company and employees or agents (other than Covered Persons) of the Company that are or were serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, similar to those conferred in this Section 3.12 to Covered Persons.
Section 3.13    Insurance. The Management Committee shall determine on an annual basis or more often, as necessary, (a) coverage limits, deductibles and policy forms for the Company’s insurance coverage (collectively, the “Insurance Program”) and (b) a market-based premium for any insurance coverage that is part of the Insurance Program and that the Members obtain on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Section 3.13 (the “Premium Amount”).   Each Member may be required to make a Capital Contribution to the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(c) in connection with the Insurance Program. Without limiting any Member’s obligations under Section 6.1(c), each Member shall obtain on behalf of the Company insurance policies (on terms acceptable to such Member in its sole discretion) covering its respective Percentage Interest of any risks associated with the Insurance Program that the Management Committee has elected not to have the Company procure directly, and each such policy that a Member obtains shall name the Company as an additional insured, or if a Member elects to insure the Company with a captive insurance company of such Member or any of its Affiliates, a separate policy in the Company’s name will be issued. If a loss shall occur that the Company believes constitutes an Insurance Payment Event, the Company shall notify the Members of such occurrence as soon as reasonably practicable and shall cause a Qualified Adjuster to determine whether such loss constitutes an Insurance Payment Event and the Qualified Adjuster shall determine the Insurance Payment Amount applicable thereto.

(a)    Except to the extent permitted pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5(a) and as provided by Section 10.3(a), no Member may Transfer (or grant a Lien on) all or any portion of its Company Interest to any Person, unless (i) it has first received prior written consent from all of the other Members, and (ii)  such Transfer (or grant of a Lien on) is made in accordance with applicable Law.
(b)    Any purported Transfer of (or grant of a Lien on) all or any portion of a Member’s Company Interest in breach of the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall not recognize any such prohibited Transfer (or such grant of a Lien).
(c)    The Members agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, until the occurrence of the In-Service Date, no Member shall Transfer all or any portion of its Company Interest to any Person other than to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 5.4, unless such Transfer has first been approved in writing by both the Spectra Member and the Phillips Member.
(d)    Upon any Transfer of all or part of a Member’s Company Interest in accordance with this Agreement, such transferee shall be admitted as a Member upon such transferee becoming a party to this Agreement by executing an assumption and adoption agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to all of the other Members.  
Section 5.2    Transfers of Equity Interests of Members; Right of First Offer.
(a)    Except to the extent provided in Section 5.5(b), if the holder of any Equity Interest in the Spectra Member or the Phillips Member desires to Transfer all or any portion of such Equity Interest to any Person other than to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent of such Member, then prior to effecting or making such Transfer, the Spectra Member (if the subject Equity Interest is in the Spectra Member) or the Phillips Member (if the subject Equity Interest is in the Phillips Member) (the “Transfer Member”) shall 

24

notify in writing all of the other Members (the “Non-Transfer Members”) of the proposed Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”).
(b)    Any Transfer Notice shall include the terms and conditions upon which such Transfer is proposed to be effected (including all material price and non-price terms and conditions).  Each Non-Transfer Member (i) shall have the right to cause a wholly-owned Subsidiary of its Parent (a “Subject Subsidiary”) to acquire such Non-Transfer Member’s ROFO Percentage of the Equity Interest of the Transfer Member that is the subject of such Transfer Notice (the “Subject Equity Interest”) on the same terms and conditions as are set forth in such Transfer Notice, and, if such Non-Transfer Member exercises such right, (ii) shall cause such Subject Subsidiary to acquire the ROFO Percentage allocable to any other Non-Transfer Member that does not elect to exercise its right to purchase such interest under this Section 5.2(b), or who (having elected to purchase) fails to comply with the notice, offer or closing requirements of this Section 5.2(b).  Each Non-Transfer Member shall have thirty (30) days following delivery of the Transfer Notice to notify the Transfer Member and all other Non-Transfer Members whether or not it desires to exercise such right of first offer to purchase the Subject Equity Interest.  If a Non-Transfer Member does not respond during the applicable period set forth above for exercising its purchase right under this Section 5.2(b), said Non-Transfer Member shall be deemed to have waived its right to purchase the portion of the Subject Equity Interest allocable to it.  
(c)    If a Non-Transfer Member elects to cause the Subject Subsidiary to purchase the ROFO Percentage of the Subject Equity Interest as described in Section 5.2(b), the closing of such purchase shall occur at the Principal Office of the Company on the tenth (10th) day following the first date on which all applicable conditions precedent have been satisfied or waived (but in no event shall such closing take place later than the date that is sixty (60) days (subject to extension for regulatory approvals, but in no event more than 180 days) following the date on which such Non-Transfer Member exercises its right to cause the Subject Subsidiary to so purchase such Subject Equity Interest.  The Transfer Member agrees, and the applicable Non-Transfer Member agrees to cause the Subject Subsidiary, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any applicable conditions precedent to be satisfied as expeditiously as possible.  At the closing (i) the Transfer Member shall cause the holder of the Subject Equity Interest to execute and deliver to the Subject Subsidiary (A) an assignment of the applicable portion of the Subject Equity Interest, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Subject Subsidiary, and (B) any other instruments reasonably requested by the Subject Subsidiary to give effect to such purchase; and (ii) each Non-Transfer Member shall cause the Subject Subsidiary to deliver to the holder of such Subject Equity Interest the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice in immediately available funds or other consideration as specified in the Transfer Notice.  
(d)    If no Non-Transfer Member elects to have purchased the Subject Equity Interest pursuant to Section 5.2(b), or having so elected fails to do so within the required time periods under Section 5.2(c), the holder of such Subject Equity Interest may for one hundred eighty (180) days after expiration of the offer period referred to above or the date of such failure, as applicable, enter into a definitive written agreement with a Person regarding the Transfer of the Subject Equity Interest on terms and conditions that satisfy the following criteria (the “Third Party Transfer Agreement”):
(i)    the amount of consideration to be paid by the purchasing party may not be less than the consideration set forth in the Transfer Notice;

25

(ii)    the form of consideration may not be materially different from that set forth in the Transfer Notice, except to the extent any change in the form of consideration makes the terms of the transaction less favorable from the purchaser's standpoint; and
(iii)    the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Transfer Agreement, when considered together with the form and amount of consideration to be paid by such purchasing party, may not render the terms of such transaction, taken as a whole, materially inferior (to the holder of the Subject Equity Interest from an economic standpoint) to those set forth in the Transfer Notice (it being agreed that the granting by the holder of the Subject Equity Interest of representations, warranties and indemnities with respect to the business or properties of the Company, as applicable, or any of its Subsidiaries that are different from or in addition to any such provisions referenced in the Transfer Notice shall not be considered to be more favorable to the purchaser for purposes of this clause (iii)).
If such Third Party Transfer Agreement is entered into with a Person within such time period, the holder of the Subject Equity Interest shall be free for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days following the execution of such definitive written agreement to consummate the Transfer of the Subject Equity Interest in accordance with the terms thereof.  If such Transfer is not consummated within such time period in accordance with the terms of such Third Party Transfer Agreement, the requirements of this Section 5.2 shall apply anew to any further efforts by the holder of the Subject Equity Interest to Transfer such Equity Interest.
(e)    The Members agree that no holder of any Equity Interest in the DCP Member shall Transfer all or any portion of such Equity Interest to any Person other than a wholly-owned Subsidiary of DCP Midstream, LLC that is a disregarded entity for tax purposes, unless such Transfer has first been approved in writing by both the Spectra Member and the Phillips Member.
(f)    The Members agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, until the occurrence of the In-Service Date, no holder of any Equity Interest in the Spectra Member or the Phillips Member shall Transfer all or any portion of such Equity Interest to any Person other than a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Member, unless such Transfer has first been approved in writing by both the Spectra Member and the Phillips Member.
Section 5.3    Change of Control of a Member.
(a)    Except to the extent provided in Section 5.5(c), if (i) a Change of Control occurs with respect to the Spectra Member other than pursuant to Section 5.2, the Phillips Member shall have the option to purchase the Spectra Member’s Company Interest for Fair Market Value pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.3(b), 5.3(c) and 5.3(d), or (ii) a Change of Control occurs with respect to the Phillips Member other than pursuant to Section 5.2, the Spectra Member shall have the option to purchase the Phillips Member’s Company Interest for Fair Market Value pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.3(b), 5.3(c) and 5.3(d).
(b)    In the event of a transaction giving rise to a Change of Control of either the Spectra Member or the Phillips Member other than pursuant to Section 5.2, the Member who has suffered such a Change of Control (the “Changing Member”) shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) days of the consummation of such transaction) deliver notice (the “Control Notice”) to all of the other Members (the “Non-Changing Members”) of such Change of Control transaction. The Non-Changing Member other than the DCP Member (the “Option Holder”) shall have the right, to be exercised by notice to the Changing Member and all other Members (the “Control Acceptance”) on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following receipt of the Control Notice (the “Control Offer Period”), to elect to purchase the Company Interest of the 

26

Changing Member for Fair Market Value as of the date of the Change of Control. The Control Acceptance shall set forth the name of a nationally recognized appraisal firm (which shall be an investment banking, accounting or other firm that performs appraisal and valuation services) designated by the Option Holder as its appraisal firm (the “Non-Changing Member Appraiser”).
(c)    If the Option Holder timely delivers the Control Acceptance during the Control Offer Period, within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the Control Acceptance, the Changing Member shall notify the Option Holder in writing of the name of an appraisal firm (which shall be an investment banking, accounting or other firm that performs appraisal and valuation services) designated as the Changing Member’s appraisal firm (the “Changing Member Appraiser”). The Non-Changing Member Appraiser and the Changing Member Appraiser shall jointly choose a third appraisal firm (which shall be an investment banking, accounting or other firm that performs appraisal and valuation services) within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the Changing Member Appraiser (provided, however, that if they fail to select a third appraisal firm within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the Changing Member Appraiser, such third firm (which shall be an investment banking, accounting or other firm that performs appraisal and valuation services) will be selected by the American Arbitration Association at the request of either party within ten (10) days after such request) (the “Neutral Control Appraiser”, and together with the Changing Member Appraiser and the Non-Changing Member Appraiser, the “Control Appraiser Committee”). Once the Control Appraiser Committee has been chosen, each of the Changing Member and Option Holder shall submit proposed Fair Market Values of the Changing Member’s Company Interest to the Control Appraiser Committee, together with any supporting documentation such Member deems appropriate, as soon as practicable, but in no event earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of the Control Acceptance nor later than thirty (30) days after the date of selection of the Neutral Control Appraiser. If either Member fails to submit its proposed Fair Market Value within the required time period, the Fair Market Value proposed by the other Member (assuming such other Member has submitted its proposed value within the required time period) shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Value of the Changing Member’s Company Interest for purposes of this Section 5.3. If both Members submit their respective proposed values on a timely basis, the Control Appraiser Committee shall determine, by majority vote, the Fair Market Value as of the date of the Change of Control of the Changing Member’s Company Interest as promptly as possible (and in any event on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after submittal of the competing proposals), which determination shall be final and binding on the Members. The cost of such appraisal shall be paid in equal portions by the Spectra Member and the Phillips Member. Each of the Changing Member and the Option Holder shall provide to the other and, if applicable, the Control Appraisal Committee, all information reasonably requested by them.
(d)    The closing of the Option Holder’s acquisition of the Changing Member’s Company Interest shall be consummated on or before the sixtieth (60th) day after the determination of the Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 5.3(c). The acquisition shall be consummated at a closing held at the Principal Office of the Company (unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Changing Member and the Option Holder) at which time the purchase price, payable in the form of immediately available funds, shall be delivered to the Changing Member, and the Changing Member shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Option Holder (or at the election of the Option Holder, its designee) such transfer documentation reasonably acceptable to the Option Holder as shall be required to evidence the transfer of the Changing Member’s Company Interest free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except those created under this Agreement.
(e)    The Members agree that no Change of Control shall occur with respect to the DCP Member, unless such Change of Control has first been approved in writing by both the Spectra Member and the Phillips Member.

27

(f)    The Members agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, until the occurrence of the In-Service Date, no Change of Control shall occur with respect to the Spectra Member or the Phillips Member, unless such Change of Control has first been approved in writing by both the Spectra Member and the Phillips Member.
Section 5.4    Transfers to Wholly Owned Subsidiaries.  A Member may Transfer all (but not less than all) of its Company Interest to a wholly-owned Subsidiary (i) of the Parent of the Spectra Member (in the case of the Spectra Member), (ii) of the Parent of the Phillips Member (in the case of the Phillips Member), or (iii) of DCP Midstream, LLC (in the case of the DCP Member), and such wholly-owned Subsidiary shall be admitted as a substitute Member, all without the consent of the other Members, provided that (x) reasonable advance notice of such Transfer is provided to all of the other Members, including for purposes of effecting the provisions of Section 10.3(a), (y) such wholly-owned Subsidiary becomes a party to this Agreement by executing an assumption and adoption agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to all of the other Members, and (z) such Member remains fully liable for the fulfillment of its obligations hereunder.  In the case of the DCP Member, the wholly-owned Subsidiary referenced to in clause (iii) above must be a disregarded entity for tax purposes.
Section 5.5    Transfers to Controlled MLPs.
(a)    After the In-Service Date, the Spectra Member and the Phillips Member may each Transfer all or any portion of its Company Interest to a Person that is a publicly traded master limited partnership, or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Person, if such Person is an Affiliate (i) of the Spectra Member (in the case of the Spectra Member), or (ii) of the Phillips Member (in the case of the Phillips Member), and such transferee shall be admitted as a substitute Member in the case all of such Company Interest is Transferred, or as an additional Member in the case a portion of such Company Interest is Transferred, all without the consent of the other Members, provided that (x) reasonable advance notice of such Transfer is provided to all of the other Members, including for purposes of effecting the provisions of Section 10.3(a), (y) such transferee becomes a party to this Agreement by executing an assumption and adoption agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to all of the other Members, and (z) such transferring Member remains fully liable for the fulfillment of its obligations hereunder.  
(b)    After the In-Service Date, the holder of any Equity Interest in the Spectra Member or the Phillips Member may Transfer all or any portion of such Equity Interest to a Person that is a publicly traded master limited partnership, or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Person, if such Person is an Affiliate (A) of the Spectra Member (in the case of the Spectra Member), or (B) of the Phillips Member (in the case of the Phillips Member), without triggering or having to comply with the right of first offer provisions of Section 5.2.
(c)    After the In-Service Date, a Change of Control may occur with respect to the Spectra Member or the Phillips Member without triggering or having to comply with the Change of Control option provisions of Section 5.3 if such Change of Control results in the Spectra Member or the Phillips Member, as applicable, becoming Controlled by a Person that is a publicly traded master limited partnership and such Person is an Affiliate (1) of the Spectra Member (in the case of the Spectra Member), or (2) of the Phillips Member (in the case of the Phillips Member).
(d)    If, after the In-Service Date, the Spectra Member or the Phillips Member wish to Transfer all or any portion of its Company Interest pursuant to Sections 5.5(a), (b), or (c) to a Person that is a publicly traded master limited partnership, or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Person, upon written request of the Spectra Member or the Phillips Member, as applicable, all Members shall negotiate in good 

28

faith in an effort to, within 90 days of such request, (i) agree to the terms of an operating services agreement for the System and (ii) amend this Agreement in order to: (A) address the governance, management and insurance provisions of Article III and further detail the voting rights of the Members and any new members of the Company; (B) modify the liquidity and transfer restrictions in Article V; and (C) otherwise revise the governance provisions of this Agreement so as not to unduly burden the ability of the Spectra Member or the Phillips Member to Transfer either directly or indirectly all or a portion of its Company Interest to such Person.
Section 5.6    Tax Termination Make-Whole Payments.  In connection with any Transfer of a Company Interest, Transfer of any Equity Interest in a Member, or a Change of Control with respect to a Member (a “Change Event”), the Members desire to address the possibility of a constructive termination of the Company under §708(b)(1)(B) of the Code (a “Tax Termination”) and to allocate responsibility for any damages resulting therefrom.
(a)    From the In-Service Date through December 31, 2014, the economic effect of any Tax Termination Events caused by any transactions permitted in Section 5.5 will be borne by each Member in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest in the Company.  Except to the extent provided in the forgoing sentence, the Member whose Change Event causes a Tax Termination Event (a “Terminating Member”) will pay to all of the other Members an amount of damages calculated in accordance with Section 5.6(b).  Notwithstanding the foregoing in this clause (a), no payments under this clause (a) shall be due from a Terminating Member (i) for any Change Event pursuant to exercise of a preferential purchase right (including the right of first offer described in Sections 5.2 and 5.3), (ii) for any Change Event in connection with a transaction, or a series of related transactions, where all of the selling Members are Affiliates of each other and all of the buying Members are already Members at the time of the sale and not Affiliates of any of the selling Members, or (iii) for any Change Event where such Change Event is in connection with a transaction, or a series of related transactions, where all of the selling Members collectively are selling 100% of the Company Interests in the Company and all of the buying parties are not already Members at the time of the sale and not Affiliates of any of the selling Members. 
(b)    If a Tax Termination Event occurs, except as provide in the first sentence of Section 5.6(a), the Terminating Member shall pay to the other Members at the date of the Tax Termination Event with respect to the Tax Termination given rise to by such Tax Termination Event, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the sum of (a) a damage amount calculated as the product of (i) the difference between (A) the net present value as of the date of such Tax Termination, using a discount rate equivalent to the Base Rate, of the amount of tax depreciation allocable to a Member from the Company for each future taxable period calculated as if such Tax Termination had not occurred but with all other facts unchanged, minus (B) the net present value as of the date of such Tax Termination, using a discount rate equivalent to the Base Rate, of the amount of tax depreciation allocable to such Member from the Company for each future taxable period calculated taking into account such Tax Termination, multiplied by (ii) the sum of the highest marginal federal income tax rate as a percentage of taxable income applicable to a U.S. corporation for the taxable year in which the Tax Termination occurs, and four percent (4%) (as a proxy for applicable state income taxes) (collectively, the “Aggregate Tax Rate”); (such product of clause (a)(i) and clause (a)(ii) the “Damage Amount”) and (b) a gross-up amount calculated as (i) the Damage Amount divided by 1.0 minus the Aggregate Tax Rate, (ii) minus the Damage Amount.
(c)    A Terminating Member shall make any payment required under this Section 5.6 to the other Members upon the earlier of (i) five (5) days prior to the date any estimated tax payment is required to be paid by the other Members under Internal Revenue Code §6655 as a result of a Tax Termination, or (ii) within forty-five (45) days after the end of the month in which the relevant Tax Termination occurs.

The Member’s direct obligation will be reduced  by any proceeds received by the Company from the Member’s captive insurance company, any Affiliate captive insurance company or under insurance coverage obtained by such Member on behalf of the Company pursuant to Section 3.13 associated with such Insurance Payment Event.
(d)    The Delegate will issue any additional capital calls to the Members that are approved and requested by the Management Committee, and the Members shall make additional Capital Contributions to the Company in accordance with such capital calls.

Section 6.4    Return of Contributions.

No Member will be required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s Capital Contributions.
ARTICLE VII
PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 7.1    Allocation of Profits and Losses. 
(a)    In General. This Article VII sets forth the general rules for book allocations to the Members and shall apply to allocations with respect to the operations and liquidation of the Company, maintaining the books and records of the Company and computing the Members’ Capital Accounts or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to this Agreement, in each case as required for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Code Section 704(b) and the Regulations thereunder. These provisions do not apply to the requirement that the Company maintain books and records for financial reporting purposes in accordance with Section 4.1.
(b)    Profits and Losses. For Fiscal Years, or portions thereof, in each case, beginning after the First Amendment Date, Profits and Losses shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the Company.
(c)    Insurance. In the event that a Member obtains insurance pursuant to Section 3.13, items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be specially allocated to the Members to the extent necessary to cause the Capital Account of each Member to equal, as quickly as possible, what the Capital Account of such Member would have been if (i) the insurance obtained by each Member instead had been obtained by the Company related to such insurance coverage, (ii) no Capital Contribution was made under Section 6.1(c), and (iii) no distribution was made under Section 7.6(a)(ii).

31

Section 7.2    Limitations on Allocations. Notwithstanding the general allocation rules set forth in Section 7.1 hereof, the following special allocation rules and limitations shall apply with respect to maintaining the Company’s books and records and computing the Members’ Capital Accounts or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to this Agreement, in each case as required for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Code Section 704(b) and the Regulations thereunder.
(a)    Limitations on Loss Allocations. The Losses allocated to any Member pursuant to Section 7.1(b) hereof with respect to any Fiscal Year shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such Fiscal Year. In the event some but not all of the Members would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 7.1(b) hereof, the limitation set forth in this Section 7.2(a) shall be applied on a Member-by-Member basis and any such Losses not allocable to a Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances so as to allocate the maximum possible Losses to each Member under Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
(b)    Qualified Income Offset. If in any Fiscal Year a Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), and such adjustment, allocation, or distribution causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for such Member, then, before any other allocations are made under this Article VII or otherwise, such Member shall be allocated items of income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) shall be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article VII have been made as if this Section 7.2(b) were not in this Agreement.  This Section 7.2(b) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” as provided in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c)    Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, then, except as provided in Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), or (5), each Member shall be allocated items of income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Member’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during such Fiscal Year. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto and the items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). To the extent that this Section 7.2(c) is inconsistent with Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) or incomplete with respect to such Regulations, the Partnership Minimum Gain chargeback provided for herein shall be applied and interpreted in accordance with such Regulation.
(d)    Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, then, except as provided in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), each Member with a share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be allocated items of income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Member’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during such Fiscal Year. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto and the items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)

32

(2). To the extent that this Section 7.2(d) is inconsistent with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) or incomplete with respect to such Regulation, the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain chargeback provided for herein shall be applied and interpreted in accordance with such Regulation.
(e)    Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Members in proportion to each of their respective Percentage Interests in the Company. This provision is to be interpreted in a manner consistent with Regulation Sections 1.704-2(b)(1) and 1.704-2(e).
(f)    Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with the ratios in which the Members share the economic risk of loss for the Partner Nonrecourse Debt that gave rise to those deductions. This allocation is intended to comply with the requirements of Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith.
(g)    Limited Effect and Interpretation. The special rules set forth in Sections 7.2(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) shall be applied only to the extent required by applicable Regulations for the resulting allocations provided for in this Section 7.2, taking into account such Regulatory Allocations, to be respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Regulatory Allocations are intended to comply with the requirements of Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b), 1.704-2 and 1.752-1 through 1.752-5, inclusive, and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith.
(h)    Offsetting Allocations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to divide Company Profits, Losses, and other similar items. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 7.2(h). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Company shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in a manner such that, after the offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof. 
Section 7.3    Restoration of Negative Capital Accounts. At no time shall a Member with a negative balance in its Capital Account have any obligation to the Company or to any other Member to restore such negative balance.
Section 7.4    Interim Allocations Relating to Transferred Company Interests. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event of a change in a Member’s Percentage Interest in the Company as a result of a Transfer or deemed Transfer of a Member’s Company Interest or as a result of a contribution of assets by a Member to the Company or a distribution of assets by the Company to a Member during a Fiscal Year, the allocations required under this Article VII shall be made with respect to the Members for the portions of the Fiscal Year through the date of the Transfer, contribution or distribution and after the date of the Transfer, contribution or distribution based on an interim closing of the Company’s books. The effective date of any such Transfer, contribution or distribution shall be the actual date of the Transfer, contribution or distribution as recorded on the books of the Company. This Section 7.4 shall also apply for purposes of computing a Member’s Capital Account. 
Section 7.5    Code Section 704(c) Allocations.

33

(a)    In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company that is treated as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Book Value (computed in accordance with the definition of Book Value) using the “Remedial Method of Allocation” as defined in Regulation Section 1.704-3(d).
(b)    In the event the Book Value of any asset of the Company (or any Subsidiary thereof that is treated as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is adjusted pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of Book Value or otherwise pursuant to Code Section 704(b) and the Regulations thereunder, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any such asset so adjusted shall take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c), the Regulations thereunder and Section 7.5(a).
(c)    Allocations pursuant to this Section 7.5 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses or other items allocated under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2.
Section 7.6    Distributions. 
(a)    Distributions Other Than in Liquidation of the Company. Except as provided in Section 7.6(b) below (and taking into account deemed distributions, if any, under Section 8.1 which are not re-contributed pursuant to Section 8.1), Distributions of cash of the Company shall be made at the end of each quarterly accounting period of the Company to each Member of the Company in the following amounts:
(i)    100% of Available Cash to the Members in proportion to each of their respective Percentage Interests; 
(ii)    the Premium Amount to the Members in proportion to each of their respective Percentage Interests for all insurance coverage provided by the Members under Section 3.13, of which an amount equal to the premiums actually paid by a Member to obtain on behalf of the Company insurance policies covering risks associated with the Insurance Program shall be treated as a reimbursement by the Company of a Company expense borne by such Member; and 
(iii)    if the Company receives any insurance proceeds in respect of a particular Insurance Payment Event under any insurance policies obtained by a Member under Section 3.13, the excess (if any) from time to time of (A) the sum of (1) such insurance proceeds and (2) any Capital Contributions made by such Member under Section 6.1(c) in respect of such Insurance Payment Event over (B) such Member’s Percentage Interest of the Insurance Payment Amount associated with such Insurance Payment Event.
(b)    Distributions in Liquidation of the Company. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the proceeds of sale of the properties and assets of the Company that have been sold in liquidation, and all other properties and assets of the Company not otherwise sold (and valued at their fair market value), shall be applied and distributed as follows, and in the following order of priority:  (i) first, to the payment of all debts and liabilities of the Company and the expenses of liquidation not otherwise adequately provided for; (ii) second, to the setting up of any reserves that are reasonably necessary for any contingent unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the Members arising out of or in 

34

connection with the Company; (iii) third, to the Members in proportion to the positive balances of each of their respective Capital Accounts after all allocations have been made to such Capital Accounts pursuant to this Agreement, until the remaining balances of such Capital Accounts are zero; and (iv) fourth, the remaining proceeds to the Members in proportion to each of their Percentage Interests in the Company.
ARTICLE VIII
WITHHOLDING TAX MATTERS; TAX STATUS AND TREATMENT
Section 8.1    Withholding. The Company shall comply with all withholding requirements under U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax Laws and shall remit amounts withheld to, and file required forms with, such applicable Governmental Entity. To the extent that the Company withholds and pays over any amounts to any Governmental Entity with respect to the distributions or allocations to any Member, the amount withheld (or credited against withholding tax otherwise due) shall be treated as a Distribution to such Member in the amount of the withholding (or credit). In the event of any claimed overwithholding by the Company, if the Company is required to take any action in order to secure a refund or credit for the benefit of a Member in respect of any amount withheld by it, it will take any such action including applying for such refund on behalf of the Member and paying it over to such Member. If any amount required to be withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions made to a Member, the Member to which the Distribution was made shall reimburse the Company for such withholding. In the event of any underwithholding by the Company to a Member, each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries from and against any liability, including interest and penalties, with respect to such underwithholding to such Member. Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Company to assist the Company in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, the Company’s withholding obligations, if any. The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall be applied in a manner, taking into consideration any tiered partnership structure that the Company may be part of, that reflects the relative economic interests of each Member in the Company.
Section 8.2    Tax Status.
(a)    The Company is intended to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and each of the Subsidiaries of the Company organized under the laws of the United States, a State of the United States or any political subdivision thereof (the “Flow Through Subsidiaries”) is intended to be treated as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(b)    Each of the Members and the Company shall take no action or position inconsistent with (or that could reasonably be expected to be viewed by the Internal Revenue Service as inconsistent with), and shall make or cause to be made all applicable elections with respect to: (i) the treatment of the Company (or any successor thereto) as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the treatment of each of the Flow Through Subsidiaries (or any successor thereto) as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (ii) the treatment of the Company as not being a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Section 8.3    Tax Matters Partner; Tax Elections.
(a)    The Company hereby elects to have a “tax matters partner” as provided under Code Section 6231(a)(7)(B) (the “Tax Matters Partner”). The Tax Matters Partner must be a Member and, subject to the provisions of Sections 8.3(d) and 8.3(e) below, DCP Member is hereby designated as the Tax Matters Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, except for the making of the elections described in Sections 8.3(b)(i), 

35

8.3(b)(ii), 8.3(b)(iii)  and 8.3(c), the Tax Matters Partner shall not (1) take any action without the approval of the Tax Committee or (2) fail to take any action that it is directed to take by the Tax Committee.
(b)    The Company shall make all elections required under U.S. federal income tax Laws and Regulations and any similar state statutes and shall make the following elections:
(i)    Adopt the calendar year as the annual accounting period; 
(ii)    Adopt the accrual method of accounting; and

(d)    The Management Committee shall establish a separate committee responsible for tax matters (the “Tax Committee”). The Tax Committee shall have three (3) members, one each shall be appointed by the Parent of each Member. The Tax Committee shall be responsible for, and shall determine all actions to be taken with respect to, all tax matters of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all open taxable periods, including (i) approving all elections under U.S. federal, state and local and foreign tax Laws and regulations other than the elections made pursuant to Sections 8.3(b)(i), 8.3(b)(ii), 8.3(b)(iii) and 8.3(c), (ii) reviewing tax returns (including all federal income tax returns), (iii) controlling tax audits and (iv) making any adjustments to taxable income, deductions and allocations. The Company shall provide the Tax Committee and each Member with drafts of each IRS Form 1065 (U.S. Return of Partnership Income), Schedule K-1, and any other significant federal, state, local or foreign tax return at least three and one-half months prior to the due date (including extensions) thereof for review and approval by the Tax Committee. The Members and the members of the Tax Committee shall have thirty (30) days to review such returns and provide comments thereon. All decisions of the Tax Committee shall be unanimous.

If, at the end of twenty one (21) days, the members of the Tax Committee have been unable to resolve the disputed issue, the Chief Financial Officers of the Parent of each Member (the “CFOs”) shall endeavor in good faith for a period of twenty one (21) days to resolve the issue. If, at the end of twenty one (21) days, the CFOs have been unable to resolve the disputed issue, such issue shall be referred to the Neutral Firm, which shall resolve the dispute in accordance with this Agreement in a timely manner as directed by the Tax Committee.

[Attached Behind this Page]

DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC
Delegation of Authority Policy

EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 3, 2013

1

Policy Language
Purpose and Scope
This Delegation of Authority Policy (“Delegation of Authority”), which shall be effective as of the Effective Date, defines authorities delegated by the Members to the Delegate.  Business matters involving the Company (which, for all purposes of this Delegation of Authority, shall include any Subsidiaries of the Company) outside of, or greater than, the scope of authorities expressly delegated to the Delegate by (i) the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC dated as of September 3, 2013 (the “Agreement”) or (ii) this Delegation of Authority require approval by the Management Committee or, in certain circumstances, the Members.  This Delegation of Authority only pertains to the delegation of authority from the Members to the Delegate, and all delegations to other Persons acting on behalf of the Delegate are covered by other documentation maintained by or on behalf of the Delegate.  Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings stated in the Agreement.
General Guidelines
		
	1.
	When determining the appropriate category of authority for a Business matter, the associated descriptions and notes must be reviewed. 

		
	2.
	Limits stated in this Delegation of Authority apply to matters that will be funded within the Company’s Approved Annual Budget.  Matters outside of the applicable Approved Annual Budget requires approval of the Management Committee.

		
	3.
	Limits stated in this document are based on the Company’s net commitment or exposure.

		
	4.
	This Delegation of Authority should be interpreted and applied consistently with, and not construed to amend, the Agreement or any resolutions or other actions adopted by the Management Committee.

		
	5.
	Authority for all expenditures required in order to respond to emergencies and response thereto (e.g. fire, hurricane, spill, etc.) is delegated to the Delegate.  This authority is limited to Company actions to prevent further injury or damage to life, property, and the environment.  The associated rebuilding of assets, remediation activities, and settlement of claims must be separately addressed under this Delegation of Authority, the Agreement or approved  by the Management Committee and not handled as an emergency or response thereto.

Delegation of Authority Category Descriptions
Commodities
Other than pursuant to an Operational Transaction, the Delegate is not authorized to buy, sell, trade or deal in commodities without express authorization by the Management Committee on a case-by-case basis.
Goods and Services and Revenue Transactions
This category includes expenditures associated with procuring goods and services necessary to facilitate the ongoing operations of the Company, and transactions entered into in the conduct of the Business to generate revenue.  A goods and services transaction, and a revenue transaction, must be approved based on total expenditures or revenues; for example, the authority level required for a multi-year contract is the sum of each annual amount.  Authority delegated to the Delegate for a goods and services transaction, and a revenue transaction, is $35 million per transaction, regardless whether the transaction is market-based and irrespective of the term of the transaction.  This category also includes all expenditures or revenues generated from the Business that are not explicitly identified elsewhere in this Delegation of Authority.
The authority for “change orders” or contract modifications is also $35 million.  This authority level applies to the amount of the change in the total expenditures, or total revenues, for the remainder of the contract.
Capital Projects and Investments
Authority delegated to the Delegate for approval of capital projects and Authorization for Expenditures (“AFEs”) included in the Approved Annual Budget is $35 million. Authority levels should be measured based on total AFE project cost which includes capital expenditure and operating expense.
Entry into or investments in new lines of business, new geographic regions, or outside of the U. S. Lower 48 are prohibited without prior approval by the Management Committee.
Business transactions that might pose unusual or unique contingent exposure or risk to the Company or any of its Affiliates, as determined by the Delegate, will be presented to the Management Committee for approval.  Resolutions of the Management Committee relating to specific transactions will supersede existing authority limits set forth herein.
Capital Project Overruns
Projects that are expected to exceed the original approved AFE budget, in accordance with the following criteria, require approval of the expenditure overrun through submission of an amended AFE.  Approval of an amended AFE is subject to this Delegation of Authority.  An AFE should be supplemented as soon as the overrun is anticipated and can be estimated and the overrun amount is equal to the greater of $500,000 or 10% of the current approved project budget.  The Delegate is authorized to approve cost overruns for a project in a total 

3

amount equal to the greater of $20 million or 10% of the original AFE amount, provided that the total dollar amount of the overrun may not exceed $20 million.
Acquisitions, Partnerships, and Joint Ventures
Entry into any partnership or joint venture is subject to approval of the Management Committee.  Authority is delegated to the Delegate for the acquisition of assets if (i) the amount of such acquisition is within the capital expenditures provided for under an Approved Annual Budget and (ii) the value of such acquisition does not exceed $35 million per transaction.  
Leases
Authority is delegated to the Delegate for the lease of equipment, pipeline or pipeline capacity and office buildings if (i) such lease is provided for under or contemplated by an Approved Annual Budget or (ii) the gross dollar value of payments for the combined lease transaction does not exceed $35 million.  A term limit of six years applies to all leases, except those approved by the President and CEO of DCP Midstream, LLC.
Disposition of Assets
Must be in adherence to the Investment Recovery Policy maintained by the Delegate or its Affiliates.  Authority must be determined using the greater of net book and fair market value.  Authority is delegated to the Delegate for the disposition of assets if (i) such disposition is provided for under or contemplated by an Approved Annual Budget or (ii) the greater of net book and fair market value of the assets which are the subject of the disposition does not exceed $35 million. 
Philanthropic Contributions
No philanthropic contributions may be made without the approval of the Management Committee. 
Financial Transactions
Issuance of Debt
No incurrence of Indebtedness for Borrowed Money is permitted without the approval of the Management Committee. 
Extension of Credit
Detailed guidelines for the extension of credit are contained in the Credit Risk Policy maintained by the Delegate or its Affiliates.  The policy establishes standards for effective and efficient credit risk management. 
Non-Commercial Payments to Parent Companies
Any Officer of the Company can approve payments to Members for distributions supported by a Management Committee resolution or otherwise in accordance with the Agreement.  Commercial payments to Members or their Affiliates are governed by the appropriate Delegation of Authority category (e.g. Goods and Services); any agreement with or 

4

commercial payment to a Member or its Affiliate outside the ordinary course of the conduct of the Company’s business, other than an Operational Transaction, requires approval of the Management Committee.
Intercompany Cash Settlements
This category covers transfers between bank accounts of the Company’s various Subsidiaries, and is not governed by this Delegation of Authority.
