    Reimbursement
Obligations

     

    2.1 Reimbursement
for Allocated General and Administrative Expenses; Limitations on
Reimbursement.

     

    (a) Targa
hereby agrees to continue to provide the Partnership Group with certain general
and administrative services, such as legal, accounting, treasury, insurance,
risk management, health, safety and environmental, information technology, human
resources, credit, payroll, internal audit, taxes, engineering and
marketing.  These general and administrative services shall be
substantially identical in nature and quality to the services of such type
previously provided by Targa in connection with their management and operation
of the North Texas
Assets prior to their acquisition by the Partnership.  In the
event that the Partnership Group makes any acquisitions of assets or businesses
from Targa or its Affiliates during the first three years following the Closing
Date, Targa will similarly provide general and administrative services that are
substantially identical in nature and quality to the services of such type
previously provided by Targa in connection with their management and operation
of such assets or businesses prior to their acquisition by the
Partnership.

     

    (b) Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.1(c) below, the Partnership Group hereby agrees
to reimburse Targa for all expenses and expenditures Targa or its Affiliates
incur or payments they make on behalf of the Partnership Group for these general
and administrative services.

     

    (c) The
amount for which Targa shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership
Group pursuant to Section 2.1(b) for general and administrative expenses shall
not exceed $5.0 million annually for a period of three (3) years following the
Closing Date (the “G&A
Expenses Limit”).  Following the first anniversary of this
Agreement, the G&A Expenses Limit shall be increased annually over the next
two years by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index – All Urban
Consumers, U.S. City Average, Not Seasonally Adjusted for the applicable year
(the “CPI
Index”).  In making such adjustment, the G&A Expenses Limit
shall be increased on the first anniversary of this Agreement by the CPI Index
for the prior year period based on the most recent information available from
the U.S. Department of Labor and similarly increased on the second anniversary
of this Agreement by the CPI Index for the prior year period.  In the
event that the Partnership Group makes any acquisitions of assets or businesses
or the business of the Partnership Group otherwise expands during the first
three years following the Closing Date, then the G&A Expenses Limit shall be
appropriately increased in order to account for adjustments in the nature and
extent of the general and administrative services by Targa to the Partnership
Group, with any such increase in the G&A Expenses Limit subject to the
approval of the Conflicts Committee.  From and after the date first
set forth above, the G&A Expenses Limit is increased by the actual amount of
general and administrative expenses allocated by Targa for the services provided
to Targa Texas Field Services LP and Targa Louisiana Field Services LLC (the
“SAOU/LOU Business”), according to the allocation methodology utilized by
Targa.  After the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the G&A
Expenses Limit will no longer apply and the General Partner will determine the
amount of

     

    
      
        
          

          - 

        

         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    general
and administrative expenses that will be properly allocated to the Partnership
in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.  The
G&A Expenses Limit shall not apply to reimbursement for direct expenses of
the Partnership as provided in Section 2.2.

     

    2.2 Reimbursement
for Direct Expenses.

     

    (a) The
Partnership Group hereby agrees to reimburse Targa and its Affiliates for all
direct expenses and expenditures they incur or payments they make on behalf of
the Partnership Group, including, but not limited to, (i) salaries of
operational personnel performing services on the Partnership Group’s behalf, the
cost of employee benefits for such personnel and general and administrative
expense associated with such personnel, (ii) capital expenditures, (iii)
maintenance and repair costs, (iv) taxes and (v) direct expenses, including
operating expenses and certain allocated operating expenses, associated with the
ownership and operation of the North Texas Assets and the SAOU/LOU
Business.

     

    (b) The
Partnership Group hereby agrees to reimburse Targa and its Affiliates for all
expenses and expenditures they incur or payments they make as a result of the
Partnership becoming a publicly traded entity, including costs associated with
annual and quarterly reports, tax return and Schedule K-1 preparation and
distribution, independent auditor fees, registrar and transfer agent fees, legal
fees and independent director compensation.

     

    (c) The
obligation of the Partnership Group to reimburse Targa and its Subsidiaries
pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall not be subject to any monetary limitation,
including the G&A Expenses Limit contained in Section 2.1.

    (i) the
failure of the Partnership Group to be the owner of valid and indefeasible

North Texas Assets were owned and operated by Targa and its Affiliates
immediately prior to the Closing Date as described in the Registration
Statement;

     

    (iii) all

for three (3) years from the Closing Date; and that in the case of clause (iii)

indemnified with respect to any such Losses under Section 3.2(a).

     

    3.3 Indemnification
Procedures.

     

    (a) The
Indemnified Party agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it
becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to
this Article III, they will provide notice thereof in writing to the
Indemnifying Party specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim;
provided, however, that the Indemnified
Party shall not submit claims more frequently than once a calendar quarter (or
twice in the case of the last calendar quarter prior to the expiration of the
applicable indemnity coverage under this Agreement).

     

    (b) The
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of
(and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the
Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification set forth in this
Article III, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel,
determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court or similar
authority and the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto;
provided, however, that no such
settlement shall be entered into without the consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Indemnified Party unless
it includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues,
as the case may be.

     

    (c) The
Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party with
respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the
indemnification set forth in this Article III, including, without limitation,
the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other
notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the
names of the Indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense,
the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other
information of the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party considers
relevant to such defense and the

     

    
      
        
          

          - 

        

         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    making
available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that in connection
therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize
the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees
to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information
furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.3. In no event
shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying
Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as
imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in
connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set
forth in this Article III; provided, however, that the Indemnified
Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in
connection with any such defense. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such
counsel hired by the Indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status of
any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole
control over such defense.

     

    (d) In
determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the
Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross
amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds
realized by the Indemnified Party, and such correlative insurance benefit shall
be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the
Indemnified Party as a result of such claim and (ii) all amounts recovered by
the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third
Persons.
