2.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Opco agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article II, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the applicable Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim; provided,

8

however, that in the event GP LLC elects not to cause Opco to pursue a claim for indemnification that Opco is entitled to pursue under this Article II that could result in the payment of any amount by the Indemnifying Party, Bronco shall have the right to cause GP LLC to cause Opco to pursue such claim by delivering written notice of Bronco’s election to GP LLC until the Bronco Fall-Away Date. Promptly following the receipt by GP LLC of Bronco’s written election pursuant to the foregoing proviso, Opco will provide notice thereof in writing to the applicable Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim, and GP LLC shall thereafter cause Opco to diligently pursue such claim in accordance with this Section 2.4. If Opco fails to provide such notice to the Indemnifying Party within ten (10) Business Days or if Opco fails to diligently pursue such claim in accordance with this Section 2.4, then Bronco may notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim directly and may control the pursuit of such claim against the Indemnified Party on behalf of Opco. Both CNP and OGE agree to cause their designated members of the board of directors of GP LLC to approve the actions reasonably requested by Bronco with respect to any such claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties) shall have the right to control at its sole cost and expense all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification under this Article II, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless it includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be.

(c) The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with each Indemnifying Party, with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article II, including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to each Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the Indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to each Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that any Indemnifying Party reasonably considers relevant to such defense, the granting to the Indemnifying Party of reasonable access rights to the properties and facilities of the Indemnified Party and the making available to each Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith each Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records, and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 2.4. In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with each Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article II; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party informed as to the status of any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense.

9

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

(e) To the extent that any indemnification claim under this Article II involves a claim where Opco, on the one hand, and either CNP or OGE, on the other hand, are adverse, Opco’s rights and obligations shall be controlled by the Disinterested Directors. Both CNP and OGE agree to cause their designated members of the board of directors of GP LLC who are not Disinterested Directors to approve the actions of the Disinterested Directors with respect to any such claim.

2.5 Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provisions of this Article II will be the exclusive remedy following the Closing for any breaches or alleged breaches of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Formation Agreement, except with respect to claims or causes of action arising from breaches or alleged breaches of Sections 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.5(c), 6.7(a)(ii), 6.7(b)(ii), 6.8, 6.13, 6.14, 6.15, 6.18 and 9.3 and Article X of the Master Formation Agreement or from fraud or willful misconduct. Each of the Parties, on behalf of itself and its members, officers, directors, employees, stockholders, equityholders, partners and Affiliates, agrees not to bring any actions or proceedings, at law, equity or otherwise against any other Party or its members, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners and Affiliates, in respect of any breaches or alleged breaches of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Formation Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, except pursuant to the express provisions of this Article II and except with respect to claims or causes of action arising from fraud or willful misconduct.

2.6 Other Indemnification Matters.

(a) For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth in this Article II, there is no monetary cap on the amount of indemnity coverage provided by any Indemnifying Party under this Article II.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION HEREUNDER COVER OR INCLUDE CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS SUFFERED BY ANY OTHER PARTY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

(c) THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF NOTWITHSTANDING ANY EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE OR ANY SIMILAR DIRECTIVE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT OR OTHERWISE LIMIT INDEMNITIES BECAUSE OF THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR FAULT OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

EXCLUSIVITY

3.1 Sponsor Party Obligations.

(a) Except as permitted by Section 3.1(b), for so long as either Sponsor Party holds (i) any interest in the general partner of Opco, or (ii) at least 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding common and subordinated units of Opco, except with the written consent of the other Sponsor Party, each Sponsor Party shall be prohibited from, directly or indirectly, owning, operating, acquiring, or investing in any business engaged, wholly or partly, in Midstream Operations (a “Restricted Business”), other than through Opco.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 3.1(a) to the contrary, either Sponsor Party may, without the consent of the other Sponsor Party, acquire a Restricted Business subject to the following restrictions:

(i) if the acquiring Sponsor Party intends to cease using the assets of the Restricted Business in Midstream Operations within 12 months of the acquisition of such Restricted Business, the acquiring Sponsor Party shall promptly following completion of such acquisition deliver written notice to Opco of such event and of such intention; or

(ii) if the Restricted Business acquired has an Allocated Value (a “Covered Acquisition”) (A) in excess of $50 million or (B) in excess of $100 million in the aggregate with the acquiring Sponsor Party’s other Restricted Businesses, then (1) the acquiring Sponsor Party shall promptly following completion of such acquisition deliver written notice to Opco of such event, and (2) Opco may elect (subject to any applicable approvals for a Related Party Transaction (as defined in the General Partner LLC Agreement)), within 60 days of receipt of such notice, to purchase all of such Restricted Businesses for a price equal to the Allocated Value and on other terms and conditions reasonably similar to the terms and conditions on which the acquiring Sponsor Party purchased such Restricted Businesses, by delivering written notice of such election to such Sponsor Party. In the event Opco timely elects to acquire such Restricted Businesses from such Sponsor Party, the Parties shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to complete the sale of such Restricted Businesses to Opco promptly. In the event Opco does not so elect, such Sponsor Party shall be permitted to own and operate such Restricted Businesses and such Restricted Businesses shall not be included in the calculation of the aggregate value of such Sponsor Party’s Restricted Businesses for purposes of clause (B) above; provided, however, that if the fair market value of the Midstream Operations included in the Restricted Business in a Covered Acquisition (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the acquiring Sponsor Party) is greater than 66 2/3% of the fair market value of the Covered Acquisition (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the acquiring Sponsor Party), then the acquiring Sponsor Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of the Restricted Business within 24 months of the date on which Opco’s option to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) expired.

(c) Except as set forth in this Section 3.1, no Party shall have any right to seek to enjoin, restrict or prevent any transaction undertaken by a Sponsor Party due to the fact such transaction involves Midstream Operations.

11

(d) The Sponsor Party obligations set forth in this Section 3.1 shall not restrict or otherwise encumber any Person that acquires a Sponsor Party or such acquiror’s Subsidiaries (other than the Sponsor Party and its Subsidiaries).

(e) For purposes of this Section 3.1, “Allocated Value” shall mean (i) with respect to any transaction in which there is a bona fide value specifically allocated to the Restricted Business, the value so allocated in such transaction, or (ii) with respect to any transaction in which there is no such allocation of value to the Restricted Business, (A) the value agreed between the acquiring Sponsor Party and Opco (subject to any applicable approvals for a Related Party Transaction) or (B) if there is no agreement on value, then the acquiring Sponsor Party and Opco shall submit the determination of the “Allocated Value” to arbitration by a mutually agreed nationally recognized investment bank which shall determine such matter (the arbitration shall be “baseball” arbitration, with each party submitting a proposed resolution of the “Allocated Value” and the arbitrator selecting the proposal of one of the parties).

(f) Opco’s rights and obligations under this Section 3.1 shall be controlled by the Disinterested Directors. Both CNP and OGE agree to cause their designated members of the board of directors of GP LLC who are not Disinterested Directors to approve the actions of the Disinterested Directors with respect to any such transaction.

Bronco shall hold in strict confidence any Confidential Information it receives and

12

may not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person other than another Party, except for disclosures (i) to comply with any Laws (including applicable stock exchange or quotation system requirements), (ii) to Bronco and its Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisers or representatives, but only if the recipients of such information have agreed to be bound by confidentiality provisions that are no less stringent than those set forth in this Section 4.2, (iii) to existing and prospective lenders, existing and prospective investors, attorneys, accountants, consultants and other representatives of Bronco or its Affiliates with a need to know such information (including a need to know for Bronco’s own purposes), provided, however, that Bronco shall be responsible for such representatives’ use and disclosure of any such information, or (iv) in connection with any proposed “transfer” (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of Bronco’s “Units” (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), to Persons to which such interest may be transferred as permitted by the Partnership Agreement, but only if the recipients of such information have agreed in writing to be bound by confidentiality provisions that are no less stringent than those set forth in this Section 4.2. Bronco shall not use any Confidential Information, and shall restrict any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisers or representatives to whom Confidential Information has been disclosed pursuant to this Section 4.2 from using any such Confidential Information, for the benefit of any Person (other than a Group Member) in which Bronco or an Affiliate of Bronco has an economic interest in any manner that could have a material detriment on any Group Member. The obligations set forth in the preceding sentence shall expire on the date that is two (2) years after the Bronco Fall-Away Date; provided, that if, prior to the Bronco Fall-Away Date, Opco notifies Bronco that specified Confidential Information is subject to a contractual obligation of Opco to cause Persons that receive such Confidential Information not to use such Confidential Information in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence for a longer period, then the obligations of Bronco in the preceding sentence shall remain in effect with respect to such specified Confidential Information until the expiration of such longer period.

4.5 Insurance.

(a) At Opco’s request, each of CNP and OGE agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assert and diligently pursue all rights to insurance coverage under the CNP Midstream Insurance Policies and Enogex Insurance Policies and any other past insurance policies of each of CNP and OGE relating to the business or the assets of the CNP Midstream Entities or the Enogex Entities (such insurance policies collectively referred to herein as the “Insurance Policies”) with respect to insured claims asserted prior to the Closing and any such claims asserted following the Closing that are covered under an applicable Insurance Policy (collectively, the “Assumed Claims”). Each of CNP and OGE shall remit to Opco all insurance proceeds obtained after Closing with respect to the Assumed Claims. Furthermore, each of CNP and OGE agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with each of its respective insurance companies in order to provide Opco the benefit of the coverage under the policies for all claims asserted on or after the Closing Date and to cooperate with Opco with any efforts to obtain “tail” coverage, at Opco’s sole cost, with respect to any “claims made policies.” Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any recovery of insurance proceeds by Opco shall be net of all cost and expenses of CNP and OGE, respectively, and (ii) any deductibles or self-insured retentions paid by CNP or OGE under applicable Insurance Policies that are recovered by an insurer (whether under any right of subrogation or otherwise) shall be for the benefit of CNP, OGE or their respective Affiliates, to the extent such party paid such deductible or self-insured retention, and shall not be retained by Opco. Each of CNP and OGE shall give Opco access to all of the non-privileged information relating to these matters and shall consult with Opco on the progress thereof from time to time.

(b) After the Closing, Opco shall be responsible for, and neither CNP, OGE nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any responsibility for, the payment of any deductible amounts or underlying limits attributable to the Insurance Policies to the extent related to the Assumed Claims. Opco acknowledges that certain of the Insurance Policies may require CNP or OGE or any of their respective Affiliates to provide an indemnity to the insurance carrier for deductible amounts and to provide collateral to secure such indemnity obligations. Opco shall enter into an indemnification agreement in form mutually acceptable to Opco, CNP and OGE wherein Opco agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of CNP and OGE or any of their respective Affiliates (as applicable) for any and all of the costs of maintaining such collateral and for any charges made against such collateral or indemnification payments in connection with claims arising or alleged to arise from the operations of the business of the CNP Midstream Entities or the Enogex Entities required to be paid by CNP or OGE of any of their respective Affiliates (as applicable) under or with respect to such Insurance Policies from and after the Closing Date.

(c) Neither CNP nor OGE makes any representation or warranty with respect to the applicability, validity or adequacy of any Insurance Policies, and neither CNP nor OGE shall be responsible to Opco or any member of the Opco Group for the failure of any insurer to pay under such Insurance Policy.

14

(d) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to provide or shall be construed as providing a benefit or release to any insurer or claims service organization of any obligation under any Insurance Policy. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating or permitting any insurer or claims service organization the right of subrogation against CNP, OGE, Opco or any of their respective Affiliates in respect of payments made by one to the other under any Insurance Policy.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY (A) CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, INCLUDING THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY IN AND FOR NEW CASTLE COUNTY (THE “DELAWARE COURTS”) FOR ANY ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (AND AGREES NOT TO COMMENCE ANY LITIGATION RELATING THERETO EXCEPT IN SUCH COURTS), (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION IN THE DELAWARE COURTS AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY DELAWARE COURT THAT SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT THEREIN HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN ANY INCONVENIENT FORUM AND (C) ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

5.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties relating to the matters contained herein, superseding all prior contracts or agreements, whether oral or written, relating to the matters contained herein.

17

5.4 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by the written agreement of all the Parties hereto. Each such instrument shall be reduced to writing.

5.5 Assignment. No Party shall have the right to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other Parties hereto; provided, however, that Bronco may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Bronco Successor (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) that is not a Midstream Successor (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and upon such assignment, Bronco shall no longer be entitled to exercise any of such rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided further that any assignment by Bronco to a Bronco Successor shall not relieve Bronco of its obligations under Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

5.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatory parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument.

5.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

5.8 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each signatory party hereto agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such transactions.

5.9 Specific Performance. Damages in the event of breach of this Agreement by a Party may be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and it is therefore agreed that each such Party, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, will have the right to an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach, and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and each of the Parties hereby waives any and all defenses it may have on the ground of lack of jurisdiction or competence of the court to grant such an injunction or other equitable relief. The existence of this right will not preclude any such Party from pursuing any other rights and remedies at law or in equity which such Party may have.

5.10 Enforcement; Rights of Limited Partners after IPO Closing Date. The provisions of this Agreement are enforceable solely by the Parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) the provisions of Section 3.1 are enforceable only by the Sponsor Parties and (b) if the IPO Closing Date occurs, no limited partner of Opco shall have the right, separate and apart from Opco, to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to compel any Party to this Agreement to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

5.11 Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and to their respective successors and assigns.
