If any objections are submitted to the Referee for resolution, (i) each Party shall furnish to the Referee such work papers and other documents and information relating to such objections as the Referee may request and are available to that Party (or its independent public accountants or other representatives) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Referee any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such determination with the Referee and (ii) the determination by the Referee of the Net Working Capital of SemStream as of the Calculation Date, as set forth in a written notice delivered to each of SemStream and NGL Subsidiary by the Referee, shall be calculated in accordance with the past practices utilized in preparing the most recent Financial Statements, and shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties and, absent manifest error, shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof. The fees and expenses of the Referee shall be allocated to and borne by NGL Subsidiary and SemStream based on the inverse of the percentage that the Referee’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Referee. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $100,000 and the Referee awards $60,000 in favor of SemStream’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by NGL Subsidiary and 40% of the costs would be borne by SemStream. The final Net Working Capital of SemStream as of the Calculation Date, as determined in accordance with this Section 2.4(a), is referred to as the “Final Net Working Capital.”

(b) If the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital (as determined and adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)), SemStream shall pay NGL Subsidiary a cash amount equal to the amount of such shortfall. If the Final Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital (as determined and adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)), NGL shall pay SemStream the amount of such excess in cash.

2.5 Retained Assets. SemStream shall not contribute, sell, transfer, convey or deliver to NGL Subsidiary, and NGL Subsidiary shall not acquire or purchase from SemStream, the Retained Assets.

2.6 Consideration Allocation. Within sixty (60) days of the determination of the Final Net Working Capital, NGL Subsidiary shall provide to SemStream a proposed schedule allocating the Aggregate Consideration (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.4(b) (and relevant

Assumed Liabilities) among the Contributed Assets and the non-compete obligation set forth in the Non-Competition Agreement (the “Consideration Allocation Schedule”). The Consideration Allocation Schedule will be prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code. NGL Subsidiary and SemStream shall make appropriate adjustments to the Consideration Allocation Schedule to reflect any adjustments to Aggregate Consideration or other relevant items. NGL Subsidiary and SemStream agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the Consideration Allocation Schedule and, if agreed, to report for all Tax reporting purposes the transactions in accordance with the mutually agreed Consideration Allocation Schedule, as appropriately adjusted. In the event NGL Subsidiary and SemStream cannot agree on the Consideration Allocation Schedule each Party may allocate the Aggregate Consideration for their respective separate Tax reporting purposes in their discretion.

2.7 Withholding. NGL Subsidiary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement amounts that NGL Subsidiary is required to deduct and withhold under the Code or other provision of any Tax Law, provided, that at least ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing NGL Subsidiary will notify SemStream of any such withholding that NGL Subsidiary believes to be required and give SemStream an opportunity to demonstrate, if it desires, that a lesser amount of withholding is required. All amounts withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as being timely paid.

2.8 NGL Unit Adjustment. The aggregate NGL Common Units issued pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall be subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any unit split, unit dividend, reverse unit split or similar event affecting the NGL Common Units after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date.

To the extent any such Contract or Permit is not capable of being assigned without the consent or waiver of the other party thereto or any Third Party (including any Authority), or if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or a violation of any Law or Order, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment of such Contracts or Permits.

NGL Subsidiary shall pay any incremental premiums for extended coverage under the Title Policies or any endorsements thereto.

5.16 Tax Matters.

(a) SemStream shall timely pay all Excluded Taxes and shall indemnify and hold NGL Subsidiary harmless from all Excluded Taxes.

(b) All Transfer Taxes shall be paid when due by SemStream and NGL Subsidiary will reimburse SemStream for one-half (50%) of the cost thereof.

(c) All refunds for Taxes attributable to the Contributed Assets, the Transferred Employees or the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (and one-half (50%) of all refunds for Transfer Taxes) shall be for the benefit of SemStream; provided, however, any refund for any such Tax that NGL Subsidiary paid that SemStream has not indemnified for under this Agreement (or reserved as a Net Working Capital Closing Statement included in the Final Net Working Capital) shall be for the benefit of NGL Subsidiary. To the extent NGL Subsidiary receives a refund that is for the benefit of SemStream, NGL Subsidiary shall promptly pay the amount of such refund to SemStream (without interest, other than interest received from the applicable Governmental Entity, and net of any out-of-pocket costs or Taxes incurred by NGL Subsidiary with respect to obtaining such refund). All refunds for Taxes attributable to NGL Subsidiary Assets, the Transferred Employees or the Business for any Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for the benefit of NGL Subsidiary. To the extent SemStream receives a refund that is for the benefit of NGL Subsidiary, SemStream shall promptly pay the amount of such refund to NGL Subsidiary (without interest, other than interest received from the applicable Governmental Authority, and net of any out-of-pocket costs or Taxes incurred by SemStream with respect to obtaining such refund).

(d) If any Tax (or Tax refund) relates to a period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date, the parties shall use the following conventions for determining the portion of such Tax (or Tax refund) that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and which relates to a Post-Closing Tax Period: (A) in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount of Taxes (or Tax refunds) attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period, and the remaining amount of such Taxes (or Tax refunds) shall be attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period; and (B) in the case of all other Taxes, the amount of Taxes (or Tax refunds) attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined as if a separate return was filed for the period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology,” and the remaining amount of the Taxes (or Tax refunds) for such period shall be attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period.

(e) NGL Subsidiary and SemStream shall (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return (including any claim for a Tax refund); (ii) assist in any audit or other proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns; (iii) make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns; (iv) provide any information required to allow NGL Subsidiary to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Tax Laws; and (v) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return that are necessary or appropriate to establish an

Without limiting the foregoing, on or prior to the Closing, SemStream shall provide to NGL Subsidiary a schedule that sets forth (i) the adjusted tax basis in each Contributed Asset (as determined immediately prior to Closing) and (ii) the depreciation life, method, conventions and history of each such asset (the “Tax Basis Schedule”).

(f) SemStream and the NGL Group Entities agree that the allocation of the assets contributed by SemStream to each of NGL Subsidiary and Holdings, respectively, in exchange for the consideration to be received by SemStream from NGL Subsidiary and Holdings, respectively, as set forth in Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(d), reflects the fair market value of the assets contributed and received. For all Tax reporting purposes, SemStream and each of NGL and Holdings agree to report the transactions in accordance with such allocation and agreed fair market value. Holdings agrees that to the extent the “gross asset value” (as defined in the Holdings LLC Agreement) of any Holdings asset is increased as a result of SemStream’s contribution of cash to Holdings pursuant to Section 2.1(d), the increase will not exceed the amount contributed by SemStream as set forth in Section 2.1(d) [i.e., $22,500], as appropriately adjusted to reflect SemStream’s percentage ownership of membership interests in Holdings.

(g) For purposes of Holdings making allocations of items income, gain, loss, deduction and credit that take into account the varying percentage membership interests in Holdings in calendar year 2011 resulting from the issuance of the Holdings Interests, Holdings shall adopt a closing of the books method.

5.17 Phase I Reports.

(a) Prior to the Closing, SemStream covenants and agrees to cooperate in good faith with NGL so as to allow NGL to obtain (at NGL’s sole cost and expense) Phase I Reports for each parcel of Real Property prior to Closing, in form and substance satisfactory to NGL. SemStream reserves the right to engage its own environmental consultant, reasonably acceptable to NGL (whose approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), to perform Phase I activities and review the results of NGL’s environmental consultant’s Phase I Report. In the event that NGL’s environmental consultant’s Phase I Report for any parcel of Owned Real Property recommends that a Phase II be performed for such parcel of Owned Real Property, NGL shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to exclude such parcel of Owned Real Property from the Contributed Assets at Closing and such parcel shall be a “Retained Parcel” and constitute a “Retained Asset”. In the event NGL elects to exclude such parcel at Closing, the parties covenant and agree to enter into a lease agreement with respect to such parcel pursuant to commercially reasonable terms and at fair market value, which shall include an option to purchase such parcel at the applicable Retained Property Value and provide for a ten (10) year term with two optional extensions of ten (10) years each.

(b) Any obligation of NGL to purchase a Retained Parcel shall be conditioned upon SemStream engaging an environmental consultant to perform a Phase II investigation, and, in the event the Phase II investigation identifies Environmental Conditions which would require investigative, monitoring, remedial or corrective actions pursuant to Environmental Law (“Remedial Actions”), SemStream performing (and paying for) any required Remedial Actions identified in the Phase II report in accordance with applicable Law.

5.18 Compliance Audits. Prior to the Closing, and without limitation of the provisions of Section 5.2 hereof, SemStream covenants and agrees to cooperate in good faith with NGL so as to allow NGL and its agents (at NGL’s cost and expense) to perform a physical inspection of the Real Property identified on Section 5.18 of the NGL Disclosure Schedule and deliver a report setting forth safety, compliance and engineering recommendations with respect thereto (an “Compliance Audit Report”). In the event any such Compliance Audit Report identifies safety, compliance or engineering deficiencies requiring correction or remediation so as to bring such facility into material compliance with applicable Law, SemStream covenants and agrees to perform such corrective or remedial actions identified in the Compliance Audit Report as promptly as practical at SemStream’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, SemStream shall have the right to consult in good faith with an engineering consultant to confirm such recommendations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, SemStream hereby consents to the use of the name “SemStream” and the “SemStream” logo, and any trade name, trademark, service mark, logo, domain name or any other source designator incorporating the name “SemStream” by NGL Subsidiary from the Closing Date through December 31, 2012 in connection with the Business.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from and after the Closing, SemStream shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the NGL Group Entities and their respective Subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “NGL Indemnified Parties”) from and against all liability, demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Damages”) asserted against or incurred (or reasonably likely to be incurred) by any NGL Indemnified Party as a result of or arising out of or under:

(i) a breach of the SemStream Fundamental Representations; provided, however, that solely for purposes of this Section 7.2(a)(i), in determining whether there has occurred a breach of any such representation or warranty, the provisions of such representations and warranties shall be read and interpreted as if the words “Material Adverse Effect,”“in all material respects” and other materiality qualifications were not contained therein;

(ii) a breach of any of the SEM Group Entities’ covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement; and

(iii) any Excluded Liability; provided, however, SemStream’s obligation to indemnify any NGL Indemnified Party with respect to any Excluded Liability of the type set forth in Section 2.3(i) or (vi) shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket Damages incurred thereby.

THIS INDEMNIFICATION IS EXPRESSLY INTENDED TO APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY ON THE PART OF ANY OF THE NGL INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

(b) The obligation of SemStream to indemnify the NGL Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) is subject to the following limitations:

(i) In no event shall SemStream’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the NGL Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) and (ii) exceed $15,000,000 (the “Cap”) in the aggregate; provided, in no event shall the Cap be applicable to a claim for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach.

(ii) SemStream shall have no obligation or liability under Section 7.2(a)(i) or (ii) with respect to SemStream’s Pre-Closing Covenants unless and until the aggregate amount of the Damages suffered by the NGL Indemnified Parties for which SemStream is obligated to indemnify the NGL Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a)(i) or (ii) exceeds $1,500,000 (the “SEM Deductible”); provided, however, that once the amount of such Damages suffered exceeds the SEM Deductible, SemStream shall be obligated to indemnify the NGL Indemnified Parties only to the extent that such Damages exceed, and only in amounts that exceed, the SEM Deductible; provided, further, in no event shall the SEM Deductible be applicable to any claim for fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or intentional breach.

(iii) SemStream shall be obligated to indemnify the NGL Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) only for those claims giving rise to Damages of the NGL Indemnified Parties as to which a NGL Indemnified Party has given SemStream written notice prior to the end of the applicable Survival Period, if any. Any written notice delivered by a NGL Indemnified Party to SemStream with respect to Damages of the NGL Indemnified Parties shall set forth with as much specificity as is reasonably practicable the basis of the claim for Damages of the NGL Indemnified Parties and, to the extent reasonably practicable, a reasonable estimate of the amount thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including Section 7.1), the Survival Period shall not be applicable with respect to any claim for Damages arising for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach.

(iv) SemStream shall have no obligation or liability for breaches of Section 5.1(a) or (b) to the extent SemStream had no Knowledge of any such event described therein.

7.3 NGL’s Agreement to Indemnify.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from and after the Closing, NGL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SemStream and its Subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “SEM Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Damages asserted against or incurred by (or reasonably likely to be incurred by) any SEM Indemnified Party as a result of or arising out of:

(i) a breach of any NGL Fundamental Representation provided, however, that solely for purposes of this Section 7.3(a)(i), in determining whether there has occurred a breach of any such representation or warranty, the provisions of such representations and warranties shall be read and interpreted as if the words “Material Adverse Effect,”“in all material respects” and other materiality qualifications were not contained therein;

(ii) a breach of any of the NGL Group Entities’ covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement; and

(iii) any Assumed Liability.

(b) The obligation of NGL to indemnify the SEM Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.3(a) is subject to the following limitations:

(i) In no event shall NGL’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the SEM Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) and (ii) exceed the Cap in the aggregate; provided, in no event shall the Cap be applicable to a claim for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach.

(ii) NGL shall have no obligation or liability under Section 7.3(a)(i) and (ii) with respect to NGL’s Pre-Closing Covenants unless and until the aggregate amount of the Damages suffered by the SEM Indemnified Parties for which NGL is obligated to indemnify the SEM Indemnified Parties under Section 7.3(a)(i) and (ii) exceeds $1,500,000 (the “NGL Deductible”); provided, however, that once the amount of such Damages suffered exceeds the NGL Deductible, NGL shall be obligated to indemnify the SEM Indemnified Parties only to the extent that such Damages exceed, and only in amounts that exceed, the NGL Deductible; provided, further, in no event shall the NGL Deductible be applicable to any claim for fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or intentional breach.

(iii) NGL shall be obligated to indemnify the SEM Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) and (ii) only for those claims giving rise to Damages of the SEM Indemnified Parties as to which a SEM Indemnified Party has given NGL Subsidiary written notice prior to the end of the Survival Period, if any. Any written notice delivered by a SEM Indemnified Party to NGL with respect to Damages of the SEM Indemnified Parties shall set forth with as much specificity as is reasonably practicable the basis of the claim for Damages of the SEM Indemnified Parties and, to the extent reasonably practicable, a reasonable estimate of the amount thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including Section 7.1), the Survival Period shall not be applicable with respect to any claim for Damages arising for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach.

(iv) NGL shall have no obligation or liability for breaches of Section 5.23 to the extent NGL had no Knowledge of any such event described therein.

7.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be

made against the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article VII. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party), and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Article VII for any legal expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party or any other expenses of the Indemnified Party, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7.4, or if the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7.4 but fails diligently to prosecute the proceedings related to such claim as herein provided then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party (if the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder), such claim by all appropriate proceedings. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought under this Article VII (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

(b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a third-party claim, the Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, an estimate of the amount of damages attributable to such claim to the extent feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in the Indemnity Notice shall be deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party provides notice within such time period that it disputes the claim, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request.

(c) In determining the amount of any Damages for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party and (ii) all amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons.

(d) The date on which notification of a claim for indemnification is received as provided in Section 9.1 by the Indemnifying Party shall determine whether such claim is timely made.

7.5 No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. In this regard, there shall be no duplication of recovery under Article VII.

7.6 Exclusive Remedies.

(a) Except as provided in Section 5.2 and Section 8.3 and except with respect to claims or causes of action arising from fraud or willful misconduct or for breach of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree that, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of any Party or their respective Affiliates with respect to this Agreement or any other claims relating to the events giving rise to this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein or contemplated hereby (including the Bill of Sale and Assignment Agreement) shall be limited to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII.

(b) The Parties intend that the indemnification procedures and limitations contained in Section 7.4, Section 7.5 and Section 7.7 shall not apply to the indemnity obligations of the parties in Section 5.2.

7.7 Recourse against SemStream. Any claims for indemnification against SemStream shall be paid in cash by SemStream. The obligations of SemStream under this Article VII shall be guaranteed by the Limited Partner pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Parent Guaranty. Any claims for indemnification against NGL shall be paid in cash by NGL. Any payments made by NGL hereunder shall be increased to account for SemStream’s ownership in NGL by multiplying the payment due by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the total number of NGL Common Units outstanding and the denominator of which shall be the total number of NGL Common Units outstanding and not owned by SemStream or its Affiliates.

7.8 No Exemplary or Punitive Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS ARTICLE VII OR OTHERWISE IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH PARTY SUFFERS SUCH DAMAGES TO AN UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, IN WHICH EVENT SUCH DAMAGES SHALL BE RECOVERABLE.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

8.1 Termination of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated at any time before the Closing as follows:

(a) By the mutual written agreement of each of SemStream and NGL;

(b) By either SemStream or NGL if any Governmental Entity shall have issued a final and nonappealable order, injunction or other legal restraint permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by Article II of this Agreement, provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) shall have complied with its obligations in Section 5.6 in all material respects;

(c) By SemStream if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of the NGL Subsidiary, which breach or inaccuracy, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 that is not capable of being satisfied or cured by the End Date and has not been cured by NGL within ten (10) days of NGL’s receipt of written notice thereof from SemStream;

(d) By NGL if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of SemStream, which breach or inaccuracy, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.3 that is not capable of being satisfied or cured by the End Date and has not been cured by SemStream within ten (10) days of SemStream’s receipt of written notice thereof from NGL; or

(e) By NGL or SemStream, if the transactions contemplated this Agreement shall not have been consummated on or prior to January 15, 2012 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) shall not be available to any such Party whose failure to perform or observe in any material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement proximately caused the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or before the End Date.

8.2 Effect of Certain Terminations. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VIII, all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate, except the provisions of Section 5.2, Section 5.10, Section 5.11, Article VIII and Article IX shall survive such termination; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from any liability for any intentional or willful and material breach by such Party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement and all rights and remedies of a non-breaching Party under this Agreement in the case of such intentional or willful and material breach, at law or in equity, shall be preserved.

8.3 Enforcement of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that an award of money damages would be inadequate for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and any such breach would cause the non-breaching Parties irreparable harm. Accordingly, the

Parties agree that prior to the termination of this Agreement, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by one of the Parties, the Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law, will also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, provided such Party is not in material default hereunder. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to each of the Parties.

ARTICLE IX

9.2 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Each of the Parties agrees that this Agreement involves at least $100,000 and that this Agreement has been entered into in express reliance upon 6 Del. C. §2708. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally confirms and agrees (i) that it is and shall continue to be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and of the federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, and (ii)(A) to the extent that such Party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Delaware as such Party’s agent for acceptance of legal process and notify the other Parties of the name and address of such agent, and (B) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that service of process may also be made on such Party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing receipt validated by the U.S. Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service, and that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, service made pursuant to (ii)(A) or (B) above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY 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

9.3 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement, the exhibits and schedules hereto and the Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between and among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties, and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements between or among the Parties in connection with the subject matter hereof except as set forth specifically herein or contemplated hereby. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the SEM Disclosure Schedule, the NGL Disclosure Schedule and in any agreement delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof (including the representations and warranties set forth in Articles III and IV), (i) the Parties acknowledge and agree that none of the Parties or any other Person has made, and the Parties are not relying upon, any covenant, representation or warranty, written or oral, statutory, expressed or implied, as to the SEM Group Entities or the NGL Group Entities, as applicable, or as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding any Party furnished or made available to any other Party and (ii) no Party shall have or be subject to any liability to any other Person, or any other remedy in connection herewith, based upon the distribution to any other Person of, or any other Person’s use of or reliance on, any such information or any information, documents or material made available to such Person in any “data rooms,” “virtual data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby. No supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound thereby. The failure of a Party to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed or constitute a waiver of such right or remedy in the future. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (regardless of whether similar), nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

9.4 Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights, benefits or obligations hereunder, except as set forth in Article VII. No Party hereto may assign, transfer, dispose of or otherwise alienate this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement (whether by operation of Law or otherwise), provided, however, that NGL Subsidiary may assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (a) to any Person that is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by NGL Subsidiary or is an Affiliate of NGL Subsidiary or (b) after the Closing, to any Person to whom NGL Subsidiary sells all or substantially all the Contributed Assets; provided, further, that at any time any Party may collaterally assign its rights hereunder to any Person or Persons providing financing to such Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Any attempted assignment, transfer, disposition or alienation in violation of this Agreement shall be null, void and ineffective.

9.5 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable such term or provision as to any other jurisdiction or any of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in that or any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

9.6 Risk of Loss. Risk of loss, damage or destruction to the Contributed Assets shall be upon SemStream until the Closing and shall thereafter be upon NGL Subsidiary.

9.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one instrument.
