INTERNAL COMMUNICATION

TO:

   ALL CRESTWOOD AND INERGY EMPLOYEES

FROM:

   THE MERGER INTEGRATION STEERING COMMITTEE

DATE:

   JULY 19, 2013

Since the May 6 announcement, we have made significant progress in combining the Crestwood and Inergy organizations into a premier, shale-focused midstream partnership. The first major step of the transaction, the consolidation of the Inergy Midstream (“NRGM”) and Crestwood Midstream Partners (“CMLP”) general partners, was completed on June 19. This resulted in Crestwood Holdings, which is owned and controlled by First Reserve, taking control of Inergy, L.P. (“NRGY”) and Bob Phillips, the current chairman and CEO of CMLP, being appointed to the additional roles of Chairman and CEO of NRGY and NRGM. In addition, we have filed documentation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are working with the SEC to finalize documentation and proceed with the CMLP unit holder vote, which is the last step in the merger process. We continue to expect to complete the merger of CMLP and NRGM in September/October 2013.
