In connection with the Proposal submitted by Blackstone Infrastructure Advisors L.L.C., an affiliate of the Reporting Persons, on behalf of the Sponsors, to the Conflicts Committee on August 27, 2019, Blackstone Infrastructure Advisors L.L.C. (together with its controlled affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Class A Acquiror, the Up-C Acquirors and the Prairie Secondary Acquirors), but expressly excluding the Issuer, the general partner of the Issuer and their respective subsidiaries and controlled affiliates, the BIA Sponsor) entered into a standstill agreement with the Conflicts Committee on September 25, 2019 (the Standstill Agreement), pursuant to which the BIA Sponsor agreed that it will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Conflicts Committee, in any manner after the effective date of the Standstill Agreement (Effective Date) through the date of termination, as described below, (i) acquire, agree to acquire or make any proposal or offer to acquire (except as contemplated by the Proposal), any additional securities or property of or interests in the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, or any rights or options to acquire any such securities, property or interests; (ii) enter into, or make any proposal or offer with respect to (except as contemplated by the Proposal), any merger, consolidation, business combination, reorganization or similar transaction involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) amend or propose to amend the organizational documents of the Issuer, the general partner of the Issuer or of any subsidiary of the Issuer; (iv) make, or in any way participate in, any solicitation of proxies, to vote or consent, or enter into or seek to enter into, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, or seek to advise or influence another person with respect to the voting of, or granting of a consent with respect to, any securities of or interests in the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (v) cause the general partner of the Issuer or the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries to issue any additional securities or interests (other than the issuance of securities issued on account of awards outstanding under employee benefit plans existing as of the date of the Standstill Agreement) or to take or propose to take, directly or indirectly, any action described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv); (vi) vote in favor of, or give consent with respect to any security of or interest in the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries in favor of, any transaction, proposal, offer or amendment described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) if such transaction, proposal, offer or amendment was not approved and recommended to security holders or interest holders by the Conflicts Committee; (vii) form, join or in any way participate in a group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any securities of or interests in the Issuer (except to the extent that no member of such group beneficially owns any securities of or interests in the Issuer that are not already beneficially owned by the BIA Sponsor as of the Effective Date); (viii) provide, or act as agent for the purpose of obtaining, debt or equity financing for any transaction, other than the transaction contemplated by the Proposal (the Proposed Transaction), that would violate or contribute to a violation of the Standstill Agreement; (ix) disclose any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with the foregoing; (x) disclose to any person, other than any Representative (as defined below), any undisclosed terms or conditions of the Proposed Transaction; (xi) propose, agree to, promote, solicit or publicly announce its willingness to undertake or support any of the foregoing, or advise, assist or encourage any other person in connection with any of the foregoing; or (xii) propose or agree to eliminate the Conflicts Committee, revoke or diminish its authority, or remove or cause the removal of any director that is a member of the Conflicts Committee.


Notwithstanding the above, the foregoing does not restrict the ability of the BIA Sponsor, any of its affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, equityholders and advisors (including financial advisors, attorneys, accountants and other consultants and potential financing sources) (each, a Representative) from (A) privately making any proposal with respect to and privately negotiating the terms of the Proposed Transaction or any alternative thereto with the Conflicts Committee, (B) privately disclosing or discussing any information regarding the Proposed Transaction or any alternative thereto being negotiated with the Conflicts Committee to any Representative of the BIA Sponsor or any of its affiliates, or negotiating or entering into any agreements or arrangements with any such person with respect to the Proposed Transaction or any alternative thereto being discussed with the Conflicts Committee or (C) disclosing any information that the BIA Sponsor determines, based upon the advice of outside counsel, is required by applicable law, rules, regulations or other applicable legal process or requested by a governmental authority; provided, further, that clauses (iv) and (vii) above do not limit or otherwise restrict any action taken by the BIA Sponsor at any time after the Effective Date to vote or give consent with respect to securities of or interests in the Issuer held by the BIA Sponsor of record on the Effective Date in a manner which does not otherwise violate the Standstill Agreement.

These prohibitions will terminate on the earliest of (VV) 120 days from the Effective Date; (WW) the entry into a definitive agreement related to the Proposed Transaction that the Conflicts Committee has approved and which contains provisions similar to the prohibitions contained in Section 1 of the Standstill Agreement that are effective until the conclusion of the vote of the limited partners of the Issuer on the Proposed Transaction; (XX) the date on which the Conflicts Committee determines, in its sole discretion, to discontinue discussions with respect to the Proposed Transaction and the Conflicts Committee makes a public announcement with respect thereto; (YY) the date on which the BIA Sponsor determines, in its sole discretion, to discontinue discussions with respect to the Proposed Transaction and the BIA Sponsor makes a public announcement with respect thereto; provided, that such date will not be prior to 60 days from the Effective Date; or (ZZ) the date on which the Conflicts Committee and the BIA Sponsor publicly announce their mutual agreement to discontinue discussions with respect to the Proposed Transaction.

The foregoing description of the Standstill Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such agreement, which is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
