Consolidated EBITDA in any period shall be increased by each of the following:

(a) the amount of the general and administrative expenses of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such period paid by WEG Acquisitions, L.P. during or with respect to such period in accordance with the terms of the New Omnibus Agreement (as defined below) that, in accordance with the terms of the New Omnibus Agreement, is not required to be reimbursed to WEG Acquisitions, L.P. by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, provided that such increase in Consolidated EBITDA shall not exceed the amount by which Consolidated Net Income of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries was reduced for such period as a result of the inclusion of such amount of general and administrative expenses on the income statement of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such period;

(b) the amount of payments made by any of TWC, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Services LLC, or WEG Acquisitions, L.P. to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries during or with respect to such period in accordance with Article IV of the New Omnibus Agreement or Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) as indemnification for Covered Environmental Losses (as defined in the New Omnibus Agreement) or environmental remediation obligations, provided that such increase in Consolidated EBITDA shall not exceed the amount by which Consolidated Net Income of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries was reduced for such period as a result of the treatment of such payments under GAAP as capital contributions rather than income;

(c) the sum of (i) the amount of Implementation Costs (as defined in the Purchase Agreement and, when added to all Implementation Costs previously incurred by Borrower and its Subsidiaries, not exceeding $2,000,000 in the aggregate) that are incurred by Borrower and its Subsidiaries during such period and that, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, are required to be borne by WEG Acquisitions, L.P., the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) the amount of such Implementation Costs in excess of such $2,000,000 aggregate amount that are incurred by Borrower and its Subsidiaries during such period and that, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, either (x) are not required to be borne by WEG Acquisitions, L.P., the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) are reimbursed to WEG Acquisitions, L.P., the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that in the case of this clause (ii) such increase in Consolidated EBITDA shall not exceed the amount by which Consolidated Net Income of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries was reduced for such period as a result of the inclusion of the Implementation Costs referred to in this clause (ii) on the income statement of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for such period;.

(d) with respect to any period encompassing the period in which the Proposed Transaction (as defined in the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement) occurs, the amount (if any) by which Consolidated Net Income of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries was reduced for such period as a result of the GAAP treatment of certain retiree healthcare (FAS 106), pension (FAS 87), and accrued paid-time off costs related to the employment by WEG Acquisitions, L.P. and its affiliates of former employees of TWC that were formerly involved, and that will continue to be involved, in providing services to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(e) with respect to any period encompassing the period in which the Proposed Transaction occurs, the amount of expenses that are deemed to be incurred by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries

during or with respect to such period as a result of the accelerated vesting of certain Phantom Units (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Transaction or events related to the consummation of the Proposed Transaction.

For purposes of this Schedule, (i) the term “Purchase Agreement” means the Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2003, by and among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Services, LLC, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Natural Gas Liquids, Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ LLC, and WEG Acquisitions, L.P., as such agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified after the date hereof, (ii) the term “New Omnibus Agreement” means the New Omnibus Agreement, to be entered into in connection with the Proposed Transaction, by and among WEG Acquisitions, L.P., TWC, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Natural Gas Liquids, Inc., and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Services, LLC, as such agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified after the date hereof, and (iii) all references to any payment, reimbursement, cost or expense made or incurred by Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall include, without limitation, any such payment, reimbursement, cost or expense made or incurred by the MLP and properly allocable to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries.
