RECITALS

     A. Pursuant to the terms of that certain Credit Agreement dated as of January 31, 2007 (as amended, the “Original Midstream Credit Agreement”), among Bluestem, as borrower, QMLP, as guarantor, Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and lenders Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), Fortis Capital Corp. (“Fortis”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), U.S. Bank National Association (“US Bank”), and Comerica Bank (“Comerica”; RBC, Fortis, Wells Fargo, US Bank and Comerica individually an “Original Midstream Lender” and collectively called the “Original Midstream Lenders”), the Original Midstream Lenders made certain loans and other financial accommodations in an aggregate amount up to $75,000,000 to Bluestem, as evidenced by the Original Midstream Credit Agreement.

     B. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.07 of the Original Midstream Credit Agreement and Assignment and Assumption Agreements each dated as of November 1, 2007, each of Fortis, Wells Fargo, US Bank and Comerica assigned all of their rights and obligations under the Original Midstream Credit Agreement (including all of their respective commitments and loans and participations in letters of credit thereunder and all liens and security interests granted as security for indebtedness under the Original Credit Agreement) to RBC and RBC became the sole lender under the Original Midstream Credit Agreement.

     C. The Original Midstream Credit Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Midstream Credit Agreement dated as of November 1, 2007 (the Original Midstream Credit Agreement, as so amended and restated, and as thereafter amended, the “Midstream Credit Agreement”), among QMLP, as co-borrower, Bluestem, as co-borrower, RBC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and RBC, as sole lender. RBC, as sole lender, agreed to make certain loans and other financial accommodations to QMLP and Bluestem, as evidenced

Midstream Loan
Transfer Agreement

by the Midstream Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount up to $135,000,000, as evidenced by the Midstream Credit Agreement. As specified in Section 10.20 of the Midstream Credit Agreement, to the extent of the aggregate commitment outstanding under the Original Midstream Credit Agreement ($75,000,000), nothing contained in the Midstream Credit Agreement was to be deemed a novation of or a repayment or new advance of any obligation of Bluestem under the Original Midstream Credit Agreement. Only to the extent of the $60,000,000 increase in the aggregate commitment was there to be deemed to be a new advance by RBC to QMLP and Bluestem, as borrowers, under the Midstream Credit Agreement. Section 10.20 of the Midstream Credit Agreement further provided that the indebtedness owing under the Original Midstream Credit Agreement was renewed, rearranged, extended and carried forward by the Midstream Credit Agreement and all of the liens and security interests securing the “Obligations” (as defined in the Original Midstream Credit Agreement) were carried forward and secured, without interruption or loss or priority, the “Obligations” (as defined in the Midstream Credit Agreement).

     D. The Original Midstream Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by the Midstream Credit Agreement, was secured by mortgages granted on Bluestem’s pipeline and gathering system located in the Cherokee Basin as described in Part A of Exhibit B hereto (the “Bluestem Gathering System”). In connection with the Midstream Credit Agreement, the mortgages filed against the Bluestem Gathering System were amended to describe the increase in the indebtedness secured thereby and to include the Midstream Credit Agreement as being secured thereby. Additionally, in connection with the Midstream Credit Agreement, QMLP acquired 100% of the limited liability company interests in each of Midcoast Kansas Pipeline, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“MKP”), and Midcoast Kansas General Partner, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“MGP”). MKP owned a 0.1% general partnership interest and MGP owned a 99.9% general partnership interest in Enbridge Pipelines (KPC), a Kansas general partnership, which owned an interstate natural gas pipeline of approximately 1,120 miles in length. Upon their acquisition, MKP’s name was changed to Quest Kansas Pipeline, L.L.C., MGP’s name was changed to Quest Kansas General Partner, L.L.C. and Enbridge Pipelines (KPC)’s name was changed to Quest Pipelines (KPC)(“QPKPC”). The Midstream Credit Agreement was additionally secured by mortgages granted by QPKPC on the KPC pipeline and gathering system as described in Part B of Exhibit B hereto (the “KPC Pipeline”).

     E. Pursuant to Assignments and Assumptions dated November 19, 2007 from RBC in favor of each of Fortis, Comerica, US Bank, Guaranty Bank (“Guaranty”), SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”) and Bank of Oklahoma (“BOK”; RBC, Fortis, Comerica, US Bank, Guaranty, SunTrust and BOK collectively called the “Midstream Lenders” and individually a “Midstream Lender”), RBC assigned a portion of its $135,000,000 commitment and loans to each of the other Midstream Lenders and the Borrowers executed and delivered promissory notes to each Midstream Lender in the amounts set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Midstream Notes”).

     F. The aggregate of the indebtedness outstanding under the Midstream Notes and the Midstream Credit Agreement, except and excluding therefrom $15,000,000 of the indebtedness currently owed by Borrowers to RBC (the “Retained Debt”), is hereafter collectively referred to as the “Assigned Debt;” the documents securing, guaranteeing or otherwise pertaining to the indebtedness under the Midstream Notes and the Midstream Credit Agreement (except and excluding therefrom the Retained Debt) described on Exhibit C attached hereto are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Bluestem Loan Documents”, and all property described in the Bluestem Loan Documents as collateral securing such Assigned Debt is hereafter collectively referred to as the “Bluestem Collateral”.

     G. The Midstream Agent and the Midstream Lenders (except RBC, to the extent of the Retained Debt) (collectively, “Assignors” and, each individually, an “Assignor”) have agreed to irrevocably sell, transfer and assign to the Borrowing Base Facility Agent (in such capacity,” Assignee”) for the benefit of (i) the lenders party to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
