Article III

CAPITALIZATION; ADMISSION OF MEMBERS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

3.1 Capitalization.

(a) Units; Capitalization. Each Member’s interest in the Company, including such Member’s interest, if any, in the capital, income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses of the Company shall be represented by units of limited liability company interest (each a “Unit”). As of the Effective Time, the Company shall have one authorized class of Units. All Units shall have identical rights and privileges in all respects. The Company shall have the authority to issue an unlimited number of Units. The ownership by a Unitholder of Units shall invest such Unitholder with the Economic Interest therein (except to the extent Transferred to an Assignee). For purposes of this Agreement, Units held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed not to be outstanding. The Company may issue fractional Units, and all Units shall be rounded to the fourth decimal place.

(b) Issuance of Units in IPO Transactions. At the Effective Time, all of the Prior LLC Interests held by each Member immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the number of Units of the Company set forth opposite each Member’s name in Schedule A. Immediately after the IPO, TEGP will contribute the Equity Proceeds to the Company in exchange for Units, and, if and to the extent the IPO Underwriters exercise their option to purchase Option Shares pursuant to the terms of the IPO Underwriting Agreement, TEGP will issue additional Class A Shares and use the net proceeds thereof to purchase an equal number of Units from the Original Members.

(c) Issuance of Additional Units. The Managing Member shall have the right to cause the Company to issue and/or create and issue at any time after the date hereof, and for such amount and form of consideration as the Managing Member may determine, additional Units or other Equity Securities of the Company (including creating classes or series thereof having such powers, designations, preferences and rights as may be determined by the Managing Member), subject to Section 11.3. The Managing Member shall have the power to make such amendments to this Agreement in order to provide for such powers, designations, preferences and rights as the Managing Member in its discretion deems necessary or appropriate to give effect to such additional authorization or issuance in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.1(c) and Section 11.3.

(i) If, following the IPO, TEGP issues Class A Shares (other than an issuance of the type covered by Section 3.1(c)(ii)), TEGP shall promptly contribute to the Company all the net proceeds (if any) received by TEGP with respect to such Class A Shares. Upon the contribution by TEGP to the Company of all of such net proceeds (if any) so received by TEGP, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to issue a number of Units equal to the number of Class A Shares issued, registered in the name of TEGP, such that, at all times, the number of Units held by TEGP equals the number of outstanding Class A Shares.

(ii) At any time TEGP issues one or more Class A Shares in connection with an equity incentive program, whether such share or shares are issued upon exercise (including cashless exercise) of an option, settlement of a restricted stock unit, as restricted stock or otherwise, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to issue an equal number of Units, registered in the name of TEGP; provided that TEGP shall be required to contribute all (but not less than all) the net proceeds (if any) received by TEGP from or otherwise in connection with such issuance of one or more Class A Shares, including the exercise price of any option exercised, to the Company. If any such Class A Shares so issued by TEGP in connection with an equity incentive program are subject to vesting or forfeiture provisions, then the Units that are issued by the Company to TEGP in connection therewith in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 3.1(c)(ii) shall be subject to vesting or forfeiture on the same basis; if any of such Class A Shares vest or are forfeited, then an equal number of Units issued by the Company in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 3.1(c)(ii) shall automatically vest or be forfeited.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 3.1(c), “net proceeds” means gross proceeds to TEGP from the issuance of Class A Shares or other securities less all bona fide out-of-pocket expenses of TEGP, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries in connection with such issuance.

(d) Repurchase or Redemption of Class A Shares. If, at any time, any Class A Shares are repurchased or redeemed (whether by exercise of a put or call, pursuant to an open market purchase, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by TEGP for cash and subsequently cancelled, then the Managing Member shall cause the Company, immediately prior to such repurchase or redemption of Class A Shares, to redeem an equal number of Units held by TEGP, at an aggregate redemption price equal to the aggregate purchase or redemption price of the Class A Shares being repurchased or redeemed by TEGP (plus any expenses related thereto) and upon such other terms as are the same for the Class A Shares being repurchased or redeemed by TEGP.

(e) Changes in Class A Shares. Any subdivision (by stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of Class A Shares shall be accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of Units.

(f) Safe Harbor Election.

(i) By executing this Agreement, each Member authorizes and directs the Company to elect to have the “safe harbor” described in the proposed Revenue Procedure set forth in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-43 (the “Notice”) apply to any interest in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company on or after the effective date of such Revenue Procedure in connection with services provided to the

Company. For purposes of making such safe harbor election, the Tax Matters Member is hereby designated as the “partner who has responsibility for federal income tax reporting” by the Company and, accordingly, for execution of a “safe harbor election” in accordance with Section 3.03(1) of the Notice. The Company and each Member hereby agree to comply with all requirements of the safe harbor described in the Notice, including the requirement that each Member shall prepare and file all federal income tax returns reporting the income tax effects of each safe harbor partnership interest issued by the Company in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Notice.

(ii) Each Member authorizes the Tax Matters Member to amend Section 3.1(f) of this Agreement to the extent necessary to achieve substantially the same tax treatment with respect to any interest in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company in connection with services provided to the Company as set forth in Section 4 of the Notice (e.g., to reflect changes from the rules set forth in the Notice in subsequent Internal Revenue Service or Treasury Department guidance); provided that such amendment is not materially adverse to any Member (as compared with the after-tax consequences that would result if the provisions of the Notice applied to all interests in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company in connection with services provided to the Company).

3.2 Admission of Members; Additional Members.

(a) Schedule of Members. The Company shall maintain and keep at its principal executive office a schedule of Members (attached hereto as Schedule A) on which it shall set forth the names and address of each Member and the aggregate number of Units held by each Member.

(b) Addition or Withdrawal of Members. The Managing Member shall cause Schedule A to be amended from time to time to reflect the admission of any Additional Member, the withdrawal or termination of any Member, receipt by the Company of notice of any change of address of a Member or the occurrence of any other event requiring amendment of Schedule A.

3.3 Capital Accounts.

(a) The Company shall maintain a separate capital account for each Unitholder according to the rules of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) (each a “Capital Account”). The Capital Account of each Unitholder shall be credited initially with an amount equal to such Unitholder’s cash contributions and the initial Gross Asset Value of property contributed to the Company by the Unitholder (net of any liabilities securing such contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to).

(b) The Capital Account of each Unitholder shall (i) be credited with all Income and Net Income allocated to such Unitholder pursuant to Section 5.1 and Section 5.2, and with the amount of cash and the initial Gross Asset Value of property contributed to the Company by the Unitholder (net of any liabilities securing such contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to), and (ii) be debited with all Loss and Net Loss allocated to such Unitholder pursuant to Section 5.1 and Section 5.2, and with the amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by such Unitholder and liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed by the Company to such Unitholder.

(c) The Company may, upon the occurrence of the events specified in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), increase or decrease the Capital Accounts of the Unitholders in accordance with the rules of such Regulations and Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) to reflect a revaluation of Company property.

3.4 Negative Capital Accounts. No Unitholder shall be required to pay to any other Unitholder or the Company any deficit or negative balance that may exist from time to time in such Unitholder’s Capital Account (including upon and after dissolution of the Company).

3.5 No Withdrawal. No Person shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Person’s Capital Contributions or Capital Account or to receive any Distribution from the Company, except as expressly provided herein.

3.6 Loans From Unitholders. Loans by Unitholders to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions. If any Unitholder shall loan funds to the Company, then the making of such loans shall not result in any increase in the Capital Account balance of such Unitholder. The amount of any such loans shall be a debt of the Company to such Unitholder and shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans are made.

3.7 No Right of Partition. No Unitholder shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of law of any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, be entitled to Distributions of specific assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

3.8 Non-Certification of Units; Legend; Units Are Securities.

(a) Units shall be issued in non-certificated form; provided that the Managing Member may cause the Company to issue certificates to a Unitholder representing the Units held by such Unitholder. If any Unit certificate is issued, then such certificate shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

This certificate evidences Units representing an interest in Tallgrass Equity, LLC and shall be a security within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

The interest in Tallgrass Equity, LLC represented by this certificate is subject to restrictions on transfer set forth in that certain Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Tallgrass Equity, LLC, dated as of , 2015, by and among Tallgrass Equity, LLC and each of the members from time to time party thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time.

(b) The Company hereby irrevocably elects that all Units will be deemed to be “securities” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(15) and as provided by Section 8-103(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware or analogous provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any other jurisdiction.

Article IV

DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Distributions. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law and hereunder, all Available Cash and other applicable property shall be distributed to the Members on a quarterly basis as declared by the Managing Member out of funds legally available therefor in such amounts and on such terms (including the payment dates of such distributions) as the Managing Member shall determine using such record date as the Managing Member may designate; such distribution shall be made to the Members on a pro rata basis (except that repurchases or redemptions made in accordance with Section 3.1(d) need not be on a pro rata basis) in accordance with the number of Units owned by each Member as of the close of business on such record date; and provided further that, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no distributions shall be made to any Member to the extent such distribution would render the Company insolvent. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, insolvency means the inability of the Company to meet its payment obligations when due. Promptly following the designation of a record date and the declaration of a distribution pursuant to this Section 4.1, the Managing Member shall give notice to each Member of the record date, the amount and the terms of the distribution and the payment date thereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 4.1 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Available Cash with respect to the Quarter in which the first date on which the Class A Shares are sold by TEGP to the IPO Underwriters pursuant to the provisions of the IPO Underwriting Agreement (the “Closing Date”) occurs shall be distributed as follows: (i) a portion of the Available Cash, calculated by multiplying Available Cash for such Quarter by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Quarter before the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Quarter, shall be distributed to the Exchange Right Holders pro rata; and (ii) the remaining Available Cash for such Quarter shall be distributed to TEGP and the Exchange Right Holders pro rata.

4.2 Successors. For purposes of determining the amount of Distributions, each Unitholder shall be treated as having made the Capital Contributions and as having received the Distributions made to or received by its predecessors in respect of any of such Unitholder’s Units.

4.3 Distributions In-Kind. To the extent that the Company distributes property in-kind to the Unitholders, the Company shall be treated as making a Distribution equal to the Fair Market Value of such property for purposes of Section 4.1 and such property shall be treated as if it were sold for an amount equal to its Fair Market Value. Any resulting gain or loss shall be allocated to the Unitholders’ Capital Accounts in accordance with Section 5.1 and Section 5.2.

Article V

ALLOCATIONS

5.1 Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2, Net Income and Net Loss (and, if necessary in the Fiscal Year in which the Company commences liquidation and all subsequent Fiscal Years, individual items of Income and Loss) shall be allocated annually (and at such other times as the Managing Member determines) to the Unitholders in such manner that the Capital Account balance of each Unitholder shall, to the greatest extent possible, be equal to the amount, positive or negative, that would be distributed to such Unitholder (in the case of a positive amount) or for which such Unitholder would be liable to the Company under this Agreement (in the case of a negative amount), if (a) the Company were to sell the assets of the Company for their Gross Asset Values, (b) all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Values of the assets securing such liability), (c) the Company were to distribute the proceeds of sale pursuant to Section 4.1 and (d) the Company were to dissolve pursuant to Article X, minus such Unitholder’s share of Company Minimum Gain or Member Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.

5.2 Special Allocations.

(a) Loss attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated in the manner required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a taxable year in Member Minimum Gain, Income for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent taxable years) shall be allocated to the Unitholders in the amounts and of such character as is determined according to Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 5.2(a) is intended to be a “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” provision that complies with the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2(a), if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any taxable year, each Unitholder shall be allocated Income for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent taxable years) in the amounts and of such character as is determined according to Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 5.2(b) is intended to be a “minimum gain chargeback” provision that complies with the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(c) If any Unitholder that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any taxable year, computed after the application of Section 5.2(a) and Section 5.2(b) but before the application of any other provision of Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, then Income for such taxable year shall be allocated to such Unitholder in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. This Section 5.2(c) is intended to be a “qualified income offset” provision as described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(d) “Nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulations §§ 1.704-2(b)(l) and (c)) shall be allocated among the Unitholders pro rata in accordance with the number of Units owned by each of them.

(e) No Loss or Net Loss shall be allocated to a Unitholder to the extent such allocation would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for such Unitholder. Instead, such Loss or Net Loss shall be allocated among the other Unitholders in the same ratios that such other Unitholders are allocated Net Loss for such year under Section 5.1.

(f) Income and Loss described in clause (d) of the definition of Gross Asset Value shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner that the adjustments to the Capital Accounts are required to be made pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

(g) The allocations set forth in Section 5.2(a) through Section 5.2(f) inclusive (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Section 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Unitholders intend to allocate Income and Loss of the Company or to make Distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, items of Income and Loss of the Company shall be allocated among the Unitholders so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Account balances of the Unitholders to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Income and Loss had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Unitholders anticipate that this shall be accomplished by specially allocating other Income and Loss among the Unitholders so that the net amount of Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Unitholder is zero.

5.3 Tax Allocations.

(a) The income, gains, losses and deductions of the Company shall be allocated for federal, state and local income tax purposes among the Unitholders in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses and deductions among the Unitholders for purposes of computing their Capital Accounts; except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, then the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses and deductions for tax purposes shall be allocated among the Unitholders so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

(b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company prior to the Effective Time shall be allocated among the Unitholders in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value using the remedial method described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(d). Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company after the Effective Time shall be allocated among the Unitholders in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value using the remedial method described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).

(c) If the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c). If the Gross Asset Value of any Company assets is adjusted on or after the Effective Time pursuant to the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value using the remedial method described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).

(d) Tax credits, tax credit recapture and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Unitholders according to their interests in such items as reasonably determined by the Managing Member taking into account the principles of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii) and 1.704-1T(b)(4)(xi).

(e) Depreciation, depletion, intangible drilling cost, and amortization recapture amounts under Sections 1245, 1250 or 1254 of the Code, if any, resulting from any sale or disposition of tangible or intangible depreciable, depletable, or amortizable property shall be allocated to the Unitholders in the same proportions that the depreciation, depletion, intangible drilling cost, or amortization being recaptured was allocated.

(f) Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3 are solely for the purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Unitholder’s Capital Account or share of Income, Loss, Distributions or other Company items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

5.4 Determination of Tax Items. For purposes of determining the items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit allocable to any Unitholder with respect to any period, such items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Managing Member using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. Each Unitholder hereby agrees to be bound by such determination of the Managing Member and to report on his, her, or its tax return consistently therewith.

5.5 Unitholders’ Tax Reporting. The Unitholders acknowledge and are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made pursuant to this Article V and, except as may otherwise be required by applicable law or regulatory requirements, hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article V in reporting their shares of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal, state and local income tax purposes.

5.6 Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Unitholder. If the Company is required by applicable law to make any payment to a Governmental Entity that is specifically attributable to a Unitholder or a Unitholder’s status as such (including federal withholding taxes, state or local personal property taxes and state or local unincorporated business taxes), then such Unitholder shall indemnify the Company in full for the entire amount paid (including interest, penalties and related expenses). The Managing Member may offset Distributions to which a Person is otherwise entitled under this Agreement against such Person’s obligation to indemnify the Company under this Section 5.6. A Unitholder’s obligation to indemnify the Company under this Section 5.6 shall survive termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company, and for purposes of this Section 5.6, the Company shall be treated as continuing in existence. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Unitholder under this Section 5.6, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such indemnification, with interest calculated at a rate equal to 10 percentage points per annum (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by applicable law).

Article VI

RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF MEMBERS; OFFICERS

6.1 Management.

(a) Management of the Company. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by the Managing Member consistent with this Agreement and the TEGP Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated on or about the date hereof (the “TEGP LP Agreement”). Subject to the express limitations contained in any provision of this Agreement, including Section 6.8, the Managing Member shall have complete and absolute control of the affairs and business of the Company, and shall possess all powers necessary, convenient or appropriate to carrying out the purposes and business of the Company, including, without limitation, doing all things and taking all actions necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Subject to the rights and powers of the Managing Member and the limitations thereon contained herein, the Managing Member may delegate to any person any or all of its powers, rights and obligations under this Agreement and may appoint, contract or otherwise deal with any person to perform any acts or services for the Company as the Managing Member may reasonably determine. Any delegation pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) may be revoked at any time and for any reason or no reason by the Managing Member. The Managing Member is specifically authorized to execute, sign, seal and deliver in the name of and on behalf of the Company any and all agreements, certificates, instruments or other documents requisite to carrying out the intentions and purposes of this Agreement and of the Company.

(b) Fiduciary Duties.

(i) Subject to, and as limited by the provisions of this Agreement, the Managing Member, in performance of its duties as such, shall make any determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards (including fiduciary standards) imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the laws of the State of Delaware or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. A determination or other action or inaction will conclusively be deemed to be in “good faith” for all purposes of this Agreement, if the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action subjectively believe that the determination or other action or inaction is in the best interests of the Company and its Members.

(ii) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute any Member an agent or legal representative of any other Member or to create any fiduciary relationship for any purpose whatsoever, apart from such obligations between the members of a limited liability company as may be created by the Act. The Managing Member shall not have any authority to act for, or to assume any obligation or responsibility on behalf of, any other Member.

(iii) In performing its duties, the Managing Member shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the provisions of this Agreement and on information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, profits or losses of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions to Unitholders might properly be paid), of the following other Persons or groups: (A) one or more Officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (B) any attorney, independent accountant or other Person employed or engaged by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or (C) any other Person who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in each case, as to matters which such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in Section 18-406 of the Act.

(iv) No individual acting on behalf of the Managing Member shall be personally liable under any judgment of a court, or in any other manner, for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company, whether that liability or obligation arises in contract, tort or otherwise solely by reason of acting on behalf of the Managing Member.

6.2 Liability of Unitholders.

(a) No Personal Liability. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as expressly set forth in this Agreement (including in Section 9.3), no Unitholder shall have any personal liability whatsoever in such Unitholder’s capacity as a Unitholder, whether to the Company, to any of the other Unitholders, to the creditors of the Company or to any other third Person for the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise (including those arising as a Unitholder or an equityholder, an owner or a shareholder of another Person). Each Unitholder shall be liable only to make such Unitholder’s Capital Contribution to the Company, if applicable, and the other payments provided for expressly herein.

(b) Return of Distributions. Under the Act, a Unitholder of a limited liability company may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Unitholder. It is the intent of the Unitholders that no Distribution to any Unitholder pursuant to Article IV or Article X shall be deemed to constitute money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Act, and the Unitholders agree that each such Distribution shall constitute a compromise of the Unitholders within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act, and the Unitholder receiving such Distribution shall not be required to return to any Person any such money or property, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. If, however, any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Unitholder is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Unitholder and not of the other Unitholders.

6.3 Non-Disclosure. Each Member agrees that, except as otherwise consented to by the board of the general partner of the Managing Member (the “Board”) in writing, all non-public and confidential information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement regarding the Tallgrass Group will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed by such Member, or by any of its agents, representatives or employees, in any manner whatsoever (other than to any member of the Tallgrass Group, another Member or any Person designated by the Company), in whole or in part, except that (a) each Member shall be permitted to disclose such information to those of its agents, representatives and employees who need to be familiar with such information in connection with such Member’s investment in the Company (collectively, “Representatives”) and are apprised of the confidential nature of such information, (b) each Member shall be permitted to disclose information to the extent required by law, legal process or regulatory requirements, so long as such Member shall have used its reasonable efforts to first afford the appropriate member of the Tallgrass Group with a reasonable opportunity to contest the necessity of disclosing such information, (c) each Member shall be permitted to disclose such information to possible purchasers of all or a portion of the Member’s Membership Interest, provided that such prospective purchaser shall execute a suitable confidentiality agreement in a form approved by the Company containing terms not less restrictive than the terms set forth herein, (d) each Member shall be permitted to disclose information to the extent necessary for the enforcement of any right of such Member arising under this Agreement and (e) each Member shall be permitted to report to its shareholders, limited partners, members or other owners, as applicable, regarding the general status of its investment in the Company (without disclosing specific confidential information of the Tallgrass Group); provided, however, that information shall not be deemed confidential information for purposes of this Section 6.3 or Section 6.4, where such information (i) was already known to such Member (or its Representatives) at the time of disclosure, (ii) later becomes known to such Member by having been disclosed to such Member (or its Representatives) by a third Person without any obligation of confidentiality imposed on such third Person, (iii) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of such Member (or its Representatives), or (iv) is independently developed by such Member (or its Representatives) without reference to any confidential information disclosed to such Member under this Agreement. Each Member shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 6.3 by its Representatives.

6.4 Non-Competition. Each of the Members hereby acknowledges that the Tallgrass Group operates in a competitive business and competes with other Persons operating in the oil and gas industry for acquisition and business opportunities. Each of the Members agrees that during the period that it is a Member, it shall not, directly or indirectly, use any of the confidential information regarding the Tallgrass Group it receives as a Member of the Company or as an observer to (a) compete with, or (b) engage in or become interested financially in as a principal, employee, partner, shareholder, agent, manager, owner, advisor, lender, guarantor of any Person that competes in North America with, the business conducted by the Tallgrass Group; provided, however, that when a Member engages in such activities, there shall be no presumption of misuse of such confidential information solely because a Representative of such Member may retain a mental impression of any such confidential information.

The Company and the Members acknowledge that a Member may have in conception or development technology or business opportunities which may be very similar or even identical to the Tallgrass Group’s confidential information and, as long as such Member abides by Section 6.3, such Member shall not have any other restriction on such technology or business opportunities and the Company and the other Members shall have no rights in such technology or business opportunities. Each of the Members also agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Primary Investors and their Affiliates manage investments in the energy industry in the ordinary course of business (such investments “Institutional Investments”) and that the Primary Investors and their Affiliates may make Institutional Investments, even if such Institutional Investments are competitive with the Tallgrass Group’s business; and (ii) each Primary Investor and its Affiliates (A) shall not be prohibited, by virtue of its status as a Member, from pursuing or engaging in such Institutional Investments described in clause (i) above; (B) shall not be obligated, or have a duty, to inform or present to the Tallgrass Group, of any opportunity, relationship or investment (and no other Member will acquire or be entitled to any interest or participation in any such opportunity, relationship or investment) and shall not be bound by the doctrine of corporate opportunity (or any analogous doctrine); and (C) shall not be deemed to have a conflict of interest with, or to have breached this Section 6.4 or any duty (if any), whether express or implied by law, to the Tallgrass Group or any other Member by reason of such Member’s (or any of its representative’s or equity holder’s) involvement in such activities or interests; provided, that, in all cases, such Institutional Investments, activities or interests are not in violation of the provisions of Section 6.3 or the second sentence of this Section 6.4. Each of the Members confirms that the restrictions and limitations in this Section 6.4 are reasonable and valid and all defenses to the strict enforcement thereof are hereby waived by each of the Members.

6.5 Damages. Each of the Members acknowledges that damages may not be an adequate compensation for the losses which may be suffered by the Company as a result of the breach by such Member of the covenants contained in this Article VI and that the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief with respect to any such breach in lieu of or in addition to any recourse in damages without the posting of a bond or other security.

6.6 Limitations. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction decides that the limitations set forth in Section 6.4 hereof are too broad, such limitations shall be reduced to those limitations that such court deems reasonable.

6.7 Meetings. No meetings of the Members are required to be held.

6.8 Actions Requiring Member Approval. The prior written consent of the Managing Member and Members holding a majority of the Units (other than those held by the Managing Member) shall be required for the following:

(a) any amendment to the Certificate other than an amendment to change the name of the Company, which amendment may be approved by the Managing Member in its sole discretion;

(b) any amendment to this Agreement except as otherwise provided in this Agreement;

(c) redeem, acquire or otherwise purchase any Unit or other Equity Security of the Company except pursuant to an Exchange or in connection with the IPO Transactions;

(d) commence a Bankruptcy with respect to, or wind-up or dissolve the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change that will result in the Company no longer being a pass through entity for tax purposes;

(f) allow to occur a sale of substantially all the assets of the Company, merge or consolidate with or into another Person, or enter into any other business combination (except, in the case of any Subsidiary of the Company, with another Subsidiary of the Company);

(g) other than Distributions authorized in this Agreement, declare or pay any Distribution; or

(h) agree to do any of the foregoing.

6.9 Officers. The Board shall have the power to appoint any Person or Persons as the Company’s officers (the “Officers”) to act for the Company and to delegate to such Officers such of the powers as are granted to the Board hereunder. Any decision or act of an Officer within the scope of the Officer’s designated or delegated authority shall control and shall bind the Company (and any business entity for which the Company exercises direct or indirect executory authority). The Officers may have such titles as the Board shall deem appropriate, which may include (but need not be limited to) President, Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President, Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Controller or Secretary. Except for matters set forth in Article VI and unless the authority of an Officer is limited by the Board, any Officer so appointed shall have the same authority to act for the Company as a corresponding officer of a Delaware corporation would have to act for a Delaware corporation in the absence of a specific delegation of authority. The Officers shall hold office until their respective successors are chosen and qualify or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. Any Officer elected or appointed by the Board may be removed at any time by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company shall be filled by a majority of the Board. Nothing in this Section 6.9 is intended to conflict with, and is in all cases subordinate to, any employment or similar agreement, if any, entered into between the Company and any Officer.

Article VII

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities, joint and several, expenses of any nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal and including appeals, in which an Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of his, her or its status as an Indemnitee, regardless of whether an Indemnitee continues to be an Indemnitee at the time any such liability or expense is paid or incurred, unless it is determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee, with respect to the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such Indemnitee had knowledge that his, her or its conduct was unlawful.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding

subject to Section 7.1(a) shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final and non-appealable disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 7.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to advance any expenses to the Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.1 if an absolute majority of the members of the Board (excluding the Indemnitee, if applicable) reasonably determines in good faith, within 30 days of the Indemnitee’s request to be advanced expenses pursuant to this Section 7.1, that the facts known to them at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his, her or its conduct was unlawful.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 7.1 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled pursuant to any approval of the Board, as a matter of law or equity, under this Agreement, any other agreement, or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, and administrators of such Indemnitee. The Company shall not be required to indemnify any Member in connection with any losses, claims, demands, actions, disputes, suits or proceedings, of any Member against any other Member.

(d) The Company may purchase and maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance or similar coverage for its Officers or such other Persons as the Board shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the Company’s activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Company, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement, in such amounts and with such deductibles or self-insured retentions as determined in the sole discretion of the Board.

(e) Any indemnification hereunder shall be satisfied only out of the assets of the Company, and the Members shall not be personally liable for indemnification under this Section 7.1 and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.

(f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.1 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Subject to Section 7.1(c), the provisions of this Section 7.1 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(h) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.1 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company, nor the obligations of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.1 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

The Tax Matters Member shall determine whether to make or revoke any other available election on behalf of the Company pursuant to the Code. Each Member will upon request supply any information necessary to give proper effect to such election.

8.3 Tax Controversies.

Each Member agrees to cooperate reasonably with the Company and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Company with respect to the conduct of such proceedings. The Tax Matters Member shall keep the Members reasonably informed of the progress of any examinations, audits or other proceedings, and shall provide the Members with information on a full and timely basis.

Article IX

TRANSFER OF UNITS; SUBSTITUTE MEMBERS; EXCHANGE

9.1 Restrictions on Transfers.

(a) Transfer Restrictions. Other than as provided for below in this Section 9.1, no Member may sell, assign, transfer, grant a participation in, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of (such transaction being herein collectively called a “Transfer”) all or any portion of its Membership Interest except with the written consent of the Managing Member, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion. Without the consent of the Managing Member (but otherwise in compliance with Section 9.1), a Member may, at any time, (a) Transfer any portion of such Member’s Membership Interest pursuant to Section 9.4, or (b) Transfer any portion of such Member’s Membership Interest to a Permitted Transferee of such Member. Any purported Transfer of all or a portion of a Member’s Membership Interest not complying with this Section 9.1 shall be void ab initio and shall not create any obligation on the part of the Company or the other Members to recognize that purported Transfer or to recognize the Person to which the Transfer purportedly was made as a Member. A Person acquiring a Member’s Membership

Interest pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall not be admitted as a substituted or Additional Member except in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.2, but such Person shall, to the extent of the Membership Interest transferred to it, be entitled to such Member’s (i) share of distributions, (ii) share of profits and losses, including Net Profits and Net Losses, and (iii) Capital Account in accordance with Section 3.3. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Member Transfers all or any portion of its Membership Interest after the designation of a record date and declaration of a distribution pursuant to Section 4.1 and before the payment date of such distribution, the transferring Member (and not the Person acquiring all or any portion of its Membership Interest) shall be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of such transferred Membership Interest.

(b) Transfer of TEGP’s Interest. TEGP may not Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest, except with the written consent of Members other than the Managing Member that, in the aggregate, own more than 50% of the Percentage Interests owned by all such other Members.

9.2 Recognition of Transfer; Substituted and Additional Members.

(a) Except for transfers made pursuant to Section 9.4, no direct or indirect Transfer of all or any portion of a Member’s Membership Interest may be made, and no purchaser, assignee, transferee or other recipient of all or any part of such Membership Interest shall be admitted to the Company as a substituted or Additional Member hereunder, unless:

(i) the provisions of this Article IX, as applicable, shall have been complied with;

(ii) in the case of a proposed Substituted or Additional Member that is (i) a competitor or potential competitor of TEP, TEGP, the Company or their Subsidiaries, (ii) a Person with whom TEP, TEGP, the Company or their Subsidiaries has had or is expected to have a material commercial or financial relationship or (iii) likely to subject TEP, TEGP, the Company or their Subsidiaries to any material legal or regulatory requirement or obligation, or materially increase the burden thereof, in each case as determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion, the admission of the purchaser, assignee, transferee or other recipient as a Substituted or Additional Member shall have been approved by the Managing Member;

(iii) the Managing Member shall have been furnished with the documents effecting such Transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member, executed and acknowledged by both the seller, assignor or transferor and the purchaser, assignee, transferee or other recipient, and the Managing Member shall have executed (and the Managing Member hereby agrees to execute) any other documents on behalf of itself and the Members required to effect the Transfer;

(iv) the Managing Member shall be reasonably satisfied that such Transfer will not (A) result in a violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable law; or (B) result in the Company being subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act;

(v) such Transfer would not cause the Company to lose its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Transfer shall not be effected on or through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof,” as such terms are used in Section 1.7704-1 of the Treasury Regulations;

(vi) the Managing Member shall have received the opinion of counsel, if any, required by Section 9.2(c) in connection with such Transfer; and

(vii) all necessary instruments reflecting such Transfer and/or admission shall have been filed in each jurisdiction in which such filing is necessary in order to qualify the Company to conduct business or to preserve the limited liability of the Members.

(b) Each Substituted Member and Additional Member shall be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement. Each Substituted Member and Additional Member, as a condition to its admission as a Member, shall execute and acknowledge such instruments (including a counterpart of this Agreement or a joinder agreement in customary form), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member, as the Managing Member reasonably deems necessary or desirable to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such Substituted or Additional Member to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Membership Interest acquired by such substituted or Additional Member. The admission of a Substituted or Additional Member shall not require the consent of any Member other than the Managing Member (if and to the extent such consent of the Managing Member is expressly required by this Article IX). As promptly as practicable after the admission of a Substituted or Additional Member, the books and records of the Company and Schedule A shall be changed to reflect such admission.

(c) As a further condition to any Transfer of all or any part of a Member’s Membership Interest, other than Transfers pursuant to Section 9.4, the Managing Member may, in its discretion, require a written opinion of counsel to the transferring Member reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member, obtained at the sole expense of the transferring Member, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Managing Member, as to such matters as are customary and appropriate in transactions of this type, including, without limitation (or, in the case of any Transfer made to a Permitted Transferee, limited to an opinion) to the effect that such Transfer will not result in a violation of the registration or other requirements of the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities laws. No such opinion, however, shall be required in connection with a Transfer made pursuant to Section 9.4.

9.3 Expense of Transfer; Indemnification. Except as otherwise provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated , 2015, by and between TEGP and the parties listed on Annex A thereto, all costs and expenses incurred by the Managing Member and the Company in connection with any Transfer of a Member’s Membership Interest, including any filing and recording costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the transferring Member. In addition, the transferring Member hereby indemnifies the Managing Member and the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Managing Member, the Company, or any of their Affiliates may become subject arising out of or based upon any false representation or warranty made by, or breach or failure to comply with any covenant or agreement of, such transferring Member or such transferee in connection with such Transfer.

9.4 Exchange of Units for Class A Shares.

(a) From and after the Start Date, each Member (other than TEGP) shall be entitled at any time and from time to time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to surrender Units and a corresponding number of Class B Shares to the Company in exchange for

the delivery to such Member of a number of Class A Shares that is equal to the number of Units surrendered (such exchange, an “Exchange”); provided that any such Exchange is for a minimum of the lesser of 5,000 Units or all of the Units held by such Member, or such lesser amount as TEGP determines to be acceptable, in its sole discretion. If, in connection with the initial public offering of the Class A Shares, the IPO Underwriters exercise their option to purchase Option Shares within 30 days of the initial public offering (the “Option”), the Members (other than TEGP) shall be required to sell (in the aggregate) a number of Units (and a corresponding number of Class B Shares) to TEGP equal to the number of Option Shares issued at the closing of such Option, in exchange for a cash payment per Unit surrendered equal to the net per share cash price (i.e., net of underwriting discounts and commissions) received by TEGP for the Option Shares issued. The portion of the aggregate number of Units (and corresponding number of Class B Shares) that each Member (other than TEGP) is required to sell shall be pro rata to their respective ownership interest in the Company (excluding Units owned by TEGP).

(b) A Member shall exercise its right to Exchange Units as set forth in the first sentence of Section 9.4(a) above by delivering to TEGP and to the Company a written election of exchange in respect of the Units to be Exchanged substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (an “Exchange Notice”), duly executed by such holder or such holder’s duly authorized attorney. As promptly as practicable following the delivery of an Exchange Notice, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the offices of the then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Class A Shares or, if there is no then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Class A Shares, at the principal executive offices of TEGP, the number of Class A Shares deliverable upon such Exchange, registered in the name of the relevant Member. To the extent the Class A Shares are settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, TEGP will, subject to Section 9.4(c) below, upon the written instruction of a Member, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver the Class A Shares deliverable to such Member, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such Member. TEGP shall take such actions as may be required to ensure the performance by the Company of its obligations under Section 9.4(a) and this Section 9.4(b), including the issuance of Class A Shares to or for the account of the Exchanging Member in exchange for the delivery to TEGP of a number of Units that is equal to the number of Units surrendered by an Exchanging Member.

(c) The Company and each Member shall bear their own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated, except that the Company shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange; provided, however, that if any Class A Shares are to be delivered in a name other than that of the Member that requested the Exchange, then such Member and/or the person in whose name such shares are to be delivered shall pay to the Company the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent TEGP or the Company shall determine that interests in the Company do not meet the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 1.7704-1(h), TEGP or the Company may impose such restrictions on Exchange as TEGP or the Company may determine to be necessary or advisable so that the Company is not treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Exchange shall be permitted (and, if attempted, shall be void ab initio) if, in the good faith determination of TEGP or of the Company, such an Exchange would pose a material risk that the Company would be a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Member shall not be entitled to Exchange Units to the extent TEGP determines that such Exchange (i) would be prohibited by law or regulation (including, without limitation, the unavailability of any requisite registration statement filed under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or (ii) would not be permitted under any other agreements with TEGP or its subsidiaries to which such Member may be party or any written policies of TEGP related to unlawful or improper trading (including, without limitation, the policies of TEGP relating to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇).

(f) Immediately upon the Exchange of any Unit (or the payment of cash for any Unit) pursuant to Section 9.4(a) or (b), an equal number of outstanding Class B Shares beneficially owned by the relevant Member automatically shall be deemed cancelled without any action on the part of any Person, including TEGP. Any such cancelled Class B Shares shall no longer be outstanding, and all rights with respect to such shares shall automatically cease and terminate in accordance with the terms of the TEGP LP Agreement.

9.5 Adjustment. If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Shares are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, then upon any subsequent Exchange, each Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such Member would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Shares are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, this Section 9.5 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property. This Agreement shall apply to the Units and Class B Shares held by the Members and their Permitted Transferees as of the date hereof, as well as any Units and Class B Shares hereafter acquired by a Member and his or her or its Permitted Transferees. This Agreement shall apply to, mutatis mutandis, and all references to “Units” and “and Class B Shares” shall be deemed to include, any security, securities or other property of the Company which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for or in substitution of Units or Class B Shares by reason of any distribution or dividend, split, reverse split, combination, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, exchange (other than an Exchange) or other transaction.

Article X

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

10.1 Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Members or Substituted Members. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) an election by the Managing Member to dissolve, wind up or liquidate the Company;

(b) the sale, disposition or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;

(d) at any time there are no members of the Company, unless the Company is continued in accordance with the Act.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 10.1, the Company is intended to have perpetual existence. An Event of Withdrawal shall not cause dissolution of the Company, and the Company shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

10.2 Liquidation and Termination.

(a) On the dissolution of the Company, the Managing Member shall act as liquidator or (in its sole discretion) may appoint one (1) or more representatives, Members or other Persons as liquidator(s). The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidators shall continue to operate the Company with all of the power and authority of the Managing Member. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidators are as follows:

(i) the liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine); and

(ii) after payment or provision for payment of all of the Company’s liabilities has been made in accordance with Section 10.2, all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed in accordance with Section 4.1, after giving effect to all prior Distributions, and a final allocation of all items of income, gain, loss and expense shall, to the extent possible, be made in such a manner that, immediately before distribution of such remaining assets, the balance of each Unitholder’s Capital Account shall be equal to the respective net amounts, positive or negative, that would be distributed to such Unitholder or for which such Unitholder would be liable to the Company as provided herein and in the Act.

10.3 Complete Distribution. The distribution to a Unitholder in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 constitutes a complete return to the Unitholder of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Unitholder of its interest in the Company and all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Unitholders have consented within the meaning of the Act.

10.4 Cancellation of Certificate. On completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided herein, the Company is terminated (and the Company shall not be terminated prior to such time), and the Managing Member (or such other Person or Persons as the Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to this Agreement that are or should be canceled and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company. The Company shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is terminated pursuant to this Section 10.4.

10.5 Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 10.2 to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

10.6 Return of Capital. The liquidators shall not be personally liable for the return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to the Unitholders (it being understood that any such return shall be made solely from Company assets).

10.7 HSR Act. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event that the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of l976 (the “HSR Act”) is applicable to any Unitholder by reason of the fact that any assets of the Company shall be distributed to such Unitholder in connection with the dissolution of the Company, the dissolution of the Company shall not be consummated until such time as the applicable waiting periods (and extensions thereof) under the HSR Act have expired or otherwise been terminated with respect to each such Unitholder.

Article XI
