Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 3, 2016, Crestwood Pipeline and Storage Northeast LLC (“Crestwood Pipeline”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Crestwood Midstream Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Crestwood Midstream”), and Con Edison Gas Pipeline and Storage Northeast, LLC (“CEGPS”), a New York limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc., a New York corporation, closed on certain transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by the previously announced Contribution Agreement dated April 20, 2016 (the “Contribution Agreement”). As contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, Crestwood Pipeline contributed to Stagecoach Gas Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Stagecoach”), (i) 100% of the equity interests in Stagecoach Pipeline & Storage Company, LLC, a New York limited liability company, Arlington Storage Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Crestwood Gas Marketing LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Crestwood Storage Inc., a Delaware corporation, and (ii) 20% of the equity interests in Stagecoach Operating Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. CEGPS contributed to Stagecoach approximately $944.5 million (the “Initial CEGPS Contribution”) in exchange for a 50% equity interest in Stagecoach. Stagecoach thereafter distributed to Crestwood Pipeline an amount in cash equal to the Initial CEGPS Contribution.

Stagecoach LLC Agreement

In connection with the initial closing of the Transactions (the “Initial Closing”), on June 3, 2016, the parties amended and restated Stagecoach’s limited liability company agreement (the “Company Agreement”). The Company Agreement governs the rights and obligations of the Stagecoach members, distributions and the members’ respective capital contribution obligations. The Company Agreement provides that each member is entitled to appoint two directors, who will vote in accordance with their respective ownership interests. Certain actions to be taken by Stagecoach will require the consent of the board of directors, including, without limitation, the incurrence of indebtedness; the sale, transfer, lease or disposition of assets or equity interests; approval or amendment of the annual budget; authorization of certain capital contributions; and removal of the operator. Among other things, the Company Agreement provides that (i) CEGPS will receive a disproportionate share of the cash distributions made by Stagecoach during the first three years following the Initial Closing, and (ii) capital contributions will be required by the Stagecoach members based on their ownership interests.

The foregoing description of the Company Agreement is summary in nature and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information required by this Item 2.01 is included under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
