Effective as of July 23, 2015 
  

	SECTION 1.	Background; Purpose of the Plan. 

 QEP Midstream Partners GP, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“QEPM General Partner”), adopted the QEP Midstream Partners, LP 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan effective as of August 8, 2013, to promote the interests of QEP Midstream Partners, LP (“QEPM”)
and QEPM General Partner by providing incentive compensation awards denominated in or based on QEPM common units to their employees, consultants and directors to encourage superior performance. 

On April 6, 2015, QEPM entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Tesoro Logistics LP, a
Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership (the “Company”), QEP Field Services, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, TLLP Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), and QEPM General Partner. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time
(as defined in the Merger Agreement) Merger Sub will merge with and into QEPM, with QEPM surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership (the “Merger”). 

The Plan is hereby amended and restated as set forth herein to (a) transfer and assign sponsorship and administration of the Plan to the
Company, (b) substitute common units of the Partnership for common units of QEPM, (c) extend eligibility to employees of the Company and the Partnership and their respective subsidiaries to the extent permissible by applicable laws and
NYSE rules, and (d) make certain other conforming changes. 
 The Plan is intended to promote the interests of the Partnership and the
Company by providing incentive compensation awards denominated in or based on Units to Employees, Consultants and Directors to encourage superior performance. The Plan is also intended to enhance the ability of the Partnership, the Company and their
Affiliates to attract and retain the services of individuals who are essential for the growth and profitability of the Partnership, the Company and their Affiliates and to encourage them to devote their best efforts to advancing the business of the
Partnership, the Company and their Affiliates.

to the charter, if any, of the Committee as approved by the Board. Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, and in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Committee by the Plan, the Committee shall have full
power and authority to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to a Participant; (iii) determine the number of Units to be covered by Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions
of any Award; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be settled, exercised, canceled, or forfeited; (vi) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to an Award made

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law and the rules of any securities exchange on which the Units are listed, quoted or traded, the

under applicable provisions of the Code and applicable securities laws and the rules of any securities exchange on which the Units are listed, quoted or traded. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to such restrictions and limitations as the
Board or Committee, as applicable, specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Board or Committee, as applicable, may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this
Section 3(b) shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Board and the Committee. 
  

	SECTION 4.	Units. 

 (a) Limits on Units Deliverable. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 4(c), the number of Units that may be delivered with respect to Awards under the Plan on and after the Effective Date shall be 1,633,411. If any Award is forfeited, cancelled, exercised, paid, or otherwise terminates or expires without
the actual delivery of Units pursuant to such Award (for the avoidance of doubt, the grant of Restricted Units is not a delivery of Units for this purpose unless and until such Restricted Units vest and any restrictions placed upon them under the
Plan lapse), the Units subject to such Award shall again be available for Awards under the Plan. To the extent permitted by applicable law and securities exchange rules, Substitute Awards and Units issued in assumption of, or in substitution for,
any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Partnership or any Affiliate thereof shall not be counted against the Units available for issuance pursuant to the Plan. There shall not be any limitation on the number
of Awards that may be paid in cash. 

  
 5 

 (b) Sources of Units Deliverable Under Awards. Any Units delivered pursuant to an Award
shall consist, in whole or in part, of Units acquired in the open market, from the Partnership, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person, or Units otherwise issuable by the Partnership, or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the
Committee in its discretion. 
 (c) Anti-dilution Adjustments. 

(i) Equity Restructuring. With respect to any “equity restructuring” event that could result in an additional
compensation expense to the Company or the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 718 if adjustments to Awards with respect to such event were discretionary, the Committee shall equitably adjust the number and type of Units covered by
each outstanding Award and the terms and conditions, including the exercise price and performance criteria (if any), of such Award to equitably reflect such event and shall adjust the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with
respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan after such event. With respect to any other similar event that would not result in an ASC Topic 718 accounting charge if the adjustment to Awards with respect to such event were subject to
discretionary action, the Committee shall have complete discretion to adjust Awards and the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan in such manner as it deems appropriate
with respect to such other event. 
 (ii) Other Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any non-cash distribution,
Unit split, combination or exchange of Units, merger, consolidation or distribution (other than normal cash distributions) of Partnership assets to unitholders, or any other change affecting the Units of the Partnership, other than an “equity
restructuring,” the Committee may make equitable adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to (A) the aggregate number and kind of Units that may be issued under the Plan; (B) the number and kind of Units (or other
securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; (C) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); and (D) the grant or
exercise price per Unit for any outstanding Awards under the Plan. 
  

	SECTION 5.	Eligibility. 

 Any Employee, Consultant or Director shall be eligible to be designated a
Participant and receive an Award under the Plan. 
  

	SECTION 6.	Awards. 

 (a) Options and UARs. The Committee shall have the authority to
determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Options and/or UARs shall be granted, the number of Units to be covered by each Option or UAR, the exercise price therefor, the Restricted Period and other conditions and limitations
applicable to the exercise of the Option or UAR, including the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. Options which are
intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(A) and UARs 

  
 6 

 
which are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(B) or, in each case, any successor regulation, may be granted only if the requirements of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii), or any successor regulation, are satisfied. Options and UARs that are otherwise exempt from or compliant with Section 409A may be granted to any eligible Employee, Consultant or Director. 

(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Unit purchasable under an Option or subject to a UAR shall be determined by
the Committee at the time the Option or UAR is granted but, except with respect to a Substitute Award, may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of the date of grant of the Option or UAR. 

(ii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the exercise terms and any applicable Restricted Period
with respect to an Option or UAR, which may include, without limitation, provisions for accelerated vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals and/or other events, and the method or methods by which payment of the exercise price
with respect to an Option or UAR may be made or deemed to have been made, which may include, without limitation, cash, check acceptable to the Company, withholding Units having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise
price from the Award, a “cashless” exercise through procedures approved by the Company, or any combination of the foregoing methods. 

(iii) Exercise of Options and UARs on Termination of Service. Each Option and UAR Award Agreement shall set forth the
extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option or UAR following a termination of the Participant’s Service. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if the Participant’s Service is terminated for cause (as
such term may be defined in an Award Agreement or, otherwise, as may be determined by the Committee), the Participant’s right to exercise the Option or UAR shall terminate as of the start of business on the effective date of the
Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, to the extent the Option or UAR is not vested and exercisable as of the termination of Service, the Option or UAR shall terminate when the Participant’s Service
terminates. 
 (iv) Term of Options and UARs. The term of each Option and UAR shall be stated in the Award Agreement,
provided, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. 
 (b) Restricted Units and Phantom
Units. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants and Directors to whom Restricted Units and/or Phantom Units shall be granted, the number of Restricted Units or Phantom Units to be granted to each such
Participant, the applicable Restricted Period, the conditions under which the Restricted Units or Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited and such other terms and conditions, including, without limitation, restrictions on transferability, as
the Committee may establish with respect to such Awards. 
 (i) Payment of Phantom Units. The Committee shall specify,
or permit the Participant to elect in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, the conditions and dates or events upon which the cash or Units underlying an award of Phantom Units shall be issued, which dates or events shall not be
earlier than the date on which the Phantom Units vest and become nonforfeitable and which conditions and dates or events shall be subject to compliance with Section 409A (unless the Phantom Units are exempt therefrom). 

(ii) Vesting of Restricted Units. Upon or as soon as reasonably practicable following the vesting of each Restricted
Unit, subject to satisfying the tax withholding obligations of Section 8(b), the Participant shall be entitled to have the restrictions removed from his or her Unit certificate (or book-entry account, as applicable) so that the Participant then
holds an unrestricted Unit. 

  
 7 

 (c) DERs. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees, Consultants
and/or Directors to whom DERs are granted, whether such DERs are tandem or separate Awards, whether the DERs shall be paid directly to the Participant, be credited to a bookkeeping account (with or without interest in the discretion of the
Committee), any vesting restrictions and payment provisions applicable to the DERs, and such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion, all of which shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreements.
Distributions in respect of DERs shall be credited as of the distribution dates during the period between the date an Award is granted to a Participant and the date such Award vests, is exercised, is distributed or expires, as determined by the
Committee. Such DERs shall be converted to cash, Units, Restricted Units and/or Phantom Units by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Committee. Tandem DERs may be subject to the same or different
vesting restrictions as the tandem Award, or be subject to such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DERs shall only be paid in a manner that is either exempt from or in
compliance with Section 409A. 
 (d) Unit Awards. Awards of Units may be granted under the Plan (i) to such Employees,
Consultants and/or Directors and in such amounts as the Committee, in its discretion, may select, and (ii) subject to such other terms and conditions, including, without limitation, restrictions on transferability, as the Committee may
establish with respect to such Awards. 
 (e) Profits Interest Units. Any Award consisting of Profits Interest Units may be granted
to an Employee, Consultant or Director for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership (i) in the Participant’s capacity as a partner of the Partnership, (ii) in anticipation of the Participant becoming a
partner of the Partnership, or (iii) as otherwise determined by the Committee. At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify the date or dates on which the Profits Interest Units shall vest and become nonforfeitable, and may specify such
conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate. Profits Interest Units shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may impose. 

(f) Other Unit-Based Awards. Other Unit-Based Awards may be granted under the Plan to such Employees, Consultants and/or Directors as
the Committee, in its discretion, may select. An Other Unit-Based Award shall be an award denominated or payable in, valued in or otherwise based on or related to Units, in whole or in part. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of
any Other Unit-Based Award. Upon vesting, an Other Unit-Based Award may be paid in cash, Units (including Restricted Units) or any combination thereof as provided in the Award Agreement. 

(g) Substitute Awards. Awards may be granted under the Plan in substitution of similar awards held by individuals who become Employees,
Consultants or Directors as a result of a merger, consolidation or acquisition by the Partnership or an Affiliate of another entity or the assets of another entity. Such Substitute Awards that are Options or UARs may have exercise prices less than
the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the date of the substitution if such substitution complies with Section 409A and other applicable laws and securities exchange rules. 

  
 8 

 (h) General. 

(i) Forfeitures. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of an Award Agreement, upon termination of a
Participant’s Service for any reason during an applicable Restricted Period, all outstanding, unvested Awards held by such Participant shall be automatically forfeited by the Participant. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or
in part such forfeiture with respect to any such Award; provided, that any such waiver shall be effective only to the extent that such waiver will not cause any Award intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A to fail to satisfy such
requirements. 
 (ii) Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be
granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other
Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards. 

(iii) Limits on Transfer of Awards. 

(A) Except as provided in paragraph (C) below, each Option and UAR shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the
Participant’s lifetime, or by the person to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

(B) Except as provided in paragraph (C) below, no Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated,
pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void
and unenforceable against the Company, the Partnership or any Affiliate. 
 (C) The Committee may provide in an Award
Agreement that an Award may, on such terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish, be transferred by a Participant without consideration to any “family member” of the Participant, as defined in the instructions to
use of the Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act, as applicable, or any other transferee specifically approved by the Committee after taking into account any state, federal, local or foreign tax and securities laws applicable to
transferable Awards. In addition, vested Units may be transferred to the extent permitted by the Partnership Agreement and not otherwise prohibited by the Award Agreement or any other agreement restricting the transfer of such Units. 

(iv) Term of Awards. Subject to Section 6(a)(iv) above, the term of each Award, if any, shall be for such period as
may be determined by the Committee. 
 (v) Unit Certificates. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required
by any applicable law, rule or regulation, neither the Company nor the Partnership shall deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Units issued in connection with any Award and instead such Units shall be recorded in the books of the
Partnership (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or equity plan administrator). All 

  
 9 

 
certificates for Units or other securities of the Partnership delivered under the Plan and all Units issued pursuant to book entry procedures pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall
be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and/or other requirements of the SEC, any securities exchange upon which such Units or other securities are
then listed, and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be inscribed on any such certificates or book entry to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

(vi) Consideration for Grants. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Awards may be granted for such consideration,
including services, as the Committee shall determine. 
 (vii) Delivery of Units or other Securities and Payment by
Participant of Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, subject to compliance with Section 409A, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book
entries evidencing Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting of any Award, unless and until the Board or the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance of such Units is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of
governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Units are listed or traded, and the Units are covered by an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration. In addition
to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to
comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the delivery of Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award may be deferred for any period during which, in the good faith
determination of the Committee, the Company is not reasonably able to obtain or deliver Units pursuant to such Award without violating applicable law or the applicable rules or regulations of any governmental agency or authority or securities
exchange. No Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement (including, without limitation, any exercise price or tax
withholding) is received by the Company. 
  

	SECTION 7.	Amendment and Termination; Certain Transactions. 

 Except to the extent prohibited by
applicable law: 
 (a) Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by applicable law or the rules of the principal securities
exchange, if any, on which the Units are traded and subject to Section 7(b) below, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan in any manner without the consent of any partner, Participant, other
holder or beneficiary of an Award, or any other Person. The Board shall obtain securityholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or securities exchange listing standards or rules. 

(b) Amendments to Awards. Subject to Section 7(a) above, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms
of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided that no change, other than pursuant to Section 7(c) below, in any Award shall materially reduce the rights or benefits of a Participant with respect to an Award without the consent of such
Participant. 

  
 10 

 (c) Actions Upon the Occurrence of Certain Events. Upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control, any transaction or event described in Section 4(c) above, any change in applicable laws or regulations affecting the Plan or Awards hereunder, or any change in accounting principles affecting the financial statements of the Company or
the Partnership, the Committee, in its sole discretion, without the consent of any Participant or holder of an Award, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, may take any one or more of the following actions: 

(i) provide for either (A) the termination of any Award in exchange for a payment in an amount, if any, equal to the
amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under such Award (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of such transaction or event, the Committee
determines in good faith that no amount would have been payable upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such
Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion having an aggregate value not exceeding the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights had
such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested; 
 (ii) provide that such Award be assumed by the successor
or survivor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or be exchanged for similar options, rights or awards covering the equity of the successor or survivor, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind
of equity interests and prices; 
 (iii) make adjustments in the number and type of Units (or other securities or property)
subject to outstanding Awards, the number and kind of outstanding Awards, the terms and conditions of (including the exercise price), and/or the vesting and performance criteria included in, outstanding Awards; 

(iv) provide that such Award shall vest or become exercisable or payable, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan
or the applicable Award Agreement; and 
 (v) provide that the Award cannot be exercised or become payable after such event
and shall terminate upon such event. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) with respect to an above event that constitutes an
“equity restructuring” that would be subject to a compensation expense pursuant ASC Topic 718, the provisions in Section 4(c) above shall control to the extent they are in conflict with the discretionary provisions of this
Section 7, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7(c) or Section 4(c) above shall be construed as providing any Participant or any beneficiary of an Award any rights with respect to the “time value,” “economic
opportunity” or “intrinsic value” of an Award or limiting in any manner the Committee’s actions that may be taken with respect to an Award as set forth in this Section 7 or in Section 4(c) above; and (ii) no action
shall be taken under this Section 7 which shall cause an Award to result in taxation under Section 409A, to the extent applicable to such Award.

	SECTION 8.	General Provisions. 

 (a) No Rights to Award. No Person shall have any claim to be
granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, including the treatment upon termination of Service. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

 (b) Tax Withholding. Unless other arrangements have been made that are acceptable to the Company, the Company or any Affiliate
thereof is authorized to deduct or withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award, or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash or Units,
including Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to such Award or other property) of any applicable taxes payable in respect of an Award, including its grant, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions thereon, or any payment or transfer
thereunder or under the Plan, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes. In the event that Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to an
Award are used to satisfy such withholding obligations, the number of Units which may be so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Units which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of
such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. 

(c) No Right to Employment or Services. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained
in the employ of the Company, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, continue consulting services or to remain on the Board, as applicable. Furthermore, the Company, the Partnership and/or an Affiliate thereof may at any time dismiss a
Participant from employment or consulting free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any Award Agreement or other written agreement between any such entity and the Participant. 

(d) No Rights as Unitholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a unitholder with
respect to Units covered by any Award unless and until the Participant becomes the record owner of such Units. 
 (e)
Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall include the terms and conditions required by
Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date (as
defined in Section 9 below), the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, adopt other policies and procedures (including
amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), and/or take any other actions that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the Award, including without limitation, actions
intended to (i) exempt the Award from Section 409A, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A; provided, however, that nothing herein shall create any obligation on the part of the Committee, the Partnership, the
Company or any of their Affiliates to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action, nor shall the Committee, the Partnership, the Company or any of their Affiliates have any liability for failing to do so.
Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the time of payment with respect to any Award that is subject to Section 409A shall not be accelerated, except as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4). 

  
 12 

 (f) Lock-Up Agreement. Each Participant shall agree, if so requested by the Company or the
Partnership and any underwriter in connection with any public offering of securities of the Partnership or any Affiliate, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or
contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Units held by it for such period, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the relevant registration
statement filed under the Securities Act in connection with such public offering, as such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith. The Company or the Partnership may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject
to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such 180-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 180-day period may be extended in the discretion of the Company for up to such number of additional days
as is deemed necessary by such underwriter or the Company or Partnership to continue coverage by research analysts in accordance with FINRA Rule 2711 or any successor or other applicable rule. 

(g) Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of Units and the
payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state, federal and foreign
securities law and margin requirements), the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Units are listed, quoted or traded, and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company or the Partnership, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the Person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by
the Company or the Partnership, provide such assurances and representations to the Company or the Partnership as the Company or the Partnership may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. In the event an Award is granted to or held by a Participant who is
employed or providing services outside the United States, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the Plan or of such Award as they pertain to such Participant to comply with applicable foreign law or to recognize
differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The Committee may also impose conditions on the grant, issuance, exercise, vesting, settlement or retention of Awards in order to comply with such foreign law and/or to minimize the Company’s or
the Partnership’s obligations with respect to tax equalization for Participants employed outside their home country. 
 (h)
Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

 (i) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes, or is deemed to be, invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be
construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such
Award shall remain in full force and effect. 

  
 13 

 (j) Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or other
consideration under an Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, the rules of the principal securities exchange on which
the Units are then traded, or entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the
exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. 
 (k) No Trust or Fund
Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and a Participant
or any other Person, on the other hand. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Partnership or any participating
Affiliate of the Partnership. 
 (l) No Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or
any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Units or whether such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or
otherwise eliminated. 
 (m) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to
facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision hereof. 

(n) No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. None of the Board, the Committee, the Company or the Partnership provides or has provided any tax
advice to any Participant or any other Person or makes or has made any assurance, commitment or guarantee that any federal, state or local tax treatment will (or will not) apply or be available to any Participant or other Person. 

(o) Clawback. To the extent required by applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listing standards, or as otherwise
determined by the Committee, Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards shall be subject to the provisions of any clawback policy implemented by the Company, which clawback policy may provide for forfeiture, repurchase
and/or recoupment of Awards and amounts paid or payable pursuant to or with respect to Awards. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Company reserves the right, without the consent of any Participant,
to adopt any such clawback policies and procedures, including such policies and procedures applicable to this Plan or any Award Agreement with retroactive effect. 

(p) Facility Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any Person under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the Committee, is
unable to manage properly his or her financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such Person, or may be applied for the benefit of such Person in any manner that the Committee may select, and the Partnership, the Company and all of
their Affiliates shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts. 
  

	SECTION 9.	Term of the Plan. 

 The Plan was originally effective as of August 8, 2013, the date
on which the Plan was adopted by the board of managers of QEPM General Partner. This amendment and 

  
 14 

 
restatement of the Plan is effective immediately following consummation of the Merger (the “Effective Date”); provided, however, that this amendment and restatement
shall be null, void and of no force or effect if the Merger Agreement terminates without consummation of the Merger. The Plan shall continue until the date terminated by the Board. However, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the
authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date.
