Opinion
Requested:
Evercore has been asked by the Conflicts Committee, whether, in Evercore’s opinion, the Proposed
Consideration to be received in the Proposed Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the
holders of the Partnership’s common units other than Crestwood Gas Services GP LLC, Crestwood Gas
Services Holdings LLC and their respective affiliates
As part of the Proposed Transaction, NRGM has proposed to acquire each CMLP common unit and Class D Unit
outstanding in exchange for: (i) 1.061x NRGM common units and (ii) $0.41 cash assuming no more than a [5.0]% premium to
CMLP’s volume-weighted average closing unit price over the 20 trading days prior to execution of a definitive agreement (“20-
Day VWAP”) as described below and a one-time payment to CMLP unitholders not to exceed $[25.0] million in total
Represents an aggregate CMLP equity value of approximately $1.5 billion based on a 20-Day VWAP as of April 19, 2012
and, including NRGM’s assumption of CMLP’s approximately $787.4 million of net debt projected to be outstanding as
of July 1, 2013, a CMLP enterprise value of approximately $2.3 billion
Pro forma for the Proposed Transaction, CMLP unitholders will own 42.7% of the pro forma entity
Expected announcement on May 6, 2013
Prior to the Proposed Transaction, it is anticipated that NRGY and Crestwood Holdings will enter into a series of transactions
to consolidate the general partner of both entities (together the “GP Consolidation”), including:
Step
1:
NRGY
will
distribute
all
of
its
56.4
million
NRGM
units
to
NRGY
unitholders
Step
2:
Crestwood Holdings will acquire IHGP for a cash payment of [$70 million -$80 million], with the exact amount
of such payment still to be determined based on certain tax and other considerations
Step
3:
NRGY will acquire CMLP’s general partner and IDR interest on a debt-free basis from Crestwood Holdings in
exchange
for
$450
million
in
NRGY
units
(41.6
million
NRGY
units based
20-Day
VWAP
as
of
April
19,
2012)
Step
4:
Crestwood Holdings will contribute a portion of its CMLP units, currently proposed to be 5.5 million CMLP
units,
for
an
equivalent
value
of
NRGY
units
such
that
Crestwood
Holdings
owns
a
29.0%
interest
in
NRGY
on
a
pro
forma basis
While Steps 1 through 4 above are conditions precedent to closing of the Proposed Transaction, closing of the Proposed
Transaction is not a condition precedent to the GP Consolidation

Source: Public partnership filings and CMLP management
During the year ended December 31, 2012, CMLP’s
Barnett Shale EBITDA declined $8.9 million from
2011 levels
Gathering volumes declined from 473.5
MMfcd in 2011 to 433.1 MMcfd in 2012 given
reduced production from existing wells and
well shut-ins on the Alliance System and Lake
Arlington System
Such volume declines were partially offset by
producers connecting 64 new wells during the
year ended December 31, 2012 mostly on the
Cowtown System
During the year ended December 31, 2011,
Quicksilver Resources Inc.’s
(“Quicksilver”)
joint development agreement with Eni SpA
resulted in an increase of approximately 75
MMcfd in gathered volumes and
approximately $16.0 million in revenue
Given the higher NGL content of the natural gas
production in Johnson County, Texas, Devon
Energy Corporation maintained an active drilling
and development plan in 2012

On August 24, 2012, CMLP acquired certain gathering and
processing assets from Devon Corporation (“Devon”) in
west Johnson County, Texas (the “West Johnson County
System”)
The assets acquired consist of a 74-mile low pressure
natural gas gathering system, a 100 MMcfd cryogenic
processing facility and 23,100 horsepower of
compression equipment
Additionally, CMLP entered into a 20-year, fixed-fee
gathering, processing and compression agreement
with Devon, pursuant to which CMLP will gather and
process Devon’s natural gas production from a 20,500
acre dedication
Natural gas production gathered and processed
pursuant to the agreement was approximately 96
MMcfd as of December 31, 2012
The West Johnson County System was operational
from  August 24, 2012 to December 1, 2012
On December 1, 2012, CMLP elected to cease
operating the 100 MMcfd natural gas processing
plant and consolidated natural gas volumes then
on the West Johnson County System onto the
Cowtown System
CMLP is currently evaluating other
potential uses for the 100 MMcfd natural
gas processing plant

Overview of CMLP
Antero Resources LLC (“Antero”) is the only producer on
CMLP’s Marcellus Shale assets
Based upon Antero’s current 2013 drilling plan in the eastern
part of CMLP’s dedicated acreage:
CMLP management expects 60 to 70 new well connections
in 2013
CMLP management expects to expand its low pressure
gathering systems with an additional 18 miles of pipeline
In addition to the four compressor stations acquired from
Enerven in January 2013 for $95.0 million, CMLP also
expects to add at least two new compressor stations during
2013
CMLP is in early discussions with Antero regarding the
accelerated development of midstream infrastructure in the
western part of CMLP’s dedicated acreage including the addition
of incremental compressor stations to increase total gathering
capacity
CMLP’s Marcellus Shale assets gather natural gas production that
Evercore believes, given well costs and production profile,
generate 20.0% + IRRs for producers down to a $3.50 per
MMBtu natural gas price

Overview of CMLP
Fayetteville segment EBITDA increased approximately $7.9 million
during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 2011 and
gathering volume increased by 22.5 MMcfd in 2012 compared to
2011
During the year ended December 31, 2012, BHP connected
six new wells on the Twin Groves System
The Fayetteville System’s volumes are supported by long-term
fixed-fee contracts with producers with approximately 100,000
acres dedicated to CMLP
These contracts have initial terms that extend through 2020
and include an option, by either party to the contract, to
extend the contract through 2025
Primary producer, BHP, acquired CHK’s Fayetteville Shale
upstream assets on February 22, 2011 for $4.25 billion
On August 3, 2012, BHP took a $2.84 billion writedown on its
Fayetteville assets, and BHP’s CEO Marius Kloppers stated, “The
Fayetteville charge reflects the fall in United States domestic gas
prices and the company’s decision to adjust its development plans
by shifting drilling from dry gas to more liquids rich fields”

approximately $0.8 million lower than in 2011,
primarily due to lower product sales margin and
higher operations and maintenance expenses while
volumes on the system increased by 5.2 MMcfd, or
41.4%, versus 2011
Lower margins earned on percent-of-
proceeds contracts, which primarily resulted
from lower NGL and natural gas prices
coupled with relatively consistent costs per
volume
Higher gathering revenues from new wells
connected by Sabine Oil and Gas LLC
(“Sabine”) partially offset the decline in
product sales margin in 2012

Research Analyst Commentary
Overview of CMLP
32
“In our opinion, given our assumption of an improving sector growth outlook, a weak natural gas but strong crude oil and
NGL commodity price environment, additional organic growth projects coming on-line, as well as contributions from the
recent acquisitions and CMLP’s increased growth capex budget, we believe CMLP is well positioned to achieve a
distribution growth rate of 5.6% CAGR over the 2013-15 period, and thereafter at a higher rate.
Ladenburg Thalmann, Eduardo Seda; February 27, 2013
We expect CMLP's valuation to improve as investors better appreciate the partnership's growing geographic footprint,
stable cash flow (98% fee-based), strong sponsor support, and potential upside tied to future acquisitions and organic
investments.
We forecast CMLP to grow distributions at a 5-year CAGR of approximately 4% supported by volume growth in
liquids-rich areas.”

Ratings Agency Commentary

Overview of CMLP
Standard & Poor’s – B/Stable (Nora Pickens & Michael V. Grande March 29, 2013)
“CMLP’s aggressive growth strategy, customer concentration to Quicksilver Resources Inc., and potential
cash flow volatility due to lower natural gas throughput characterize the partnership's “weak” business
profile. High financial leverage and the master limited partnership structure, which gives CMLP much
incentive to pay out most of its cash flow after maintenance capital spending to unitholders each quarter,
reflect the aggressive financial profile. CMLP’s mostly fee-based contract mix and minimal direct
commodity exposure partly offset these risks.”
“We could lower the rating if a debt-financed acquisition or a decrease in volumes causes cash flow to
decline and financial ratios to deteriorate,
stand-alone and fully consolidated basis, respectively, for an extended period”
“A higher rating is unlikely at this time because of CMLP’s limited scale and high consolidated leverage,
but is attainable if we believe it will maintain consolidated leverage at 4x or less.”
Moody’s – B2/Stable (Jonathan Kalmanoff & Steven Wood March 28, 2013)
“Crestwood's B2 corporate family rating is supported by fixed fee contracts that avoid direct commodity
price exposure, a moderate degree of basin and customer diversification, exposure to producing basins with
liquids production, minimum volume commitments for a portion of throughput, a management team with
extensive experience in the midstream sector, and a private equity sponsor with the industry knowledge and
financial capacity to support the company's growth ambitions. 
concentration relative to rated midstream peers, volumes driven by E&P drilling activity which is
indirectly tied to commodity prices, and high consolidated leverage.”

Rich natural gas volumes from the Marcellus, Barnett, Granite Wash and Avalon are expected to grow at a 5-year
compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 10.9% based on forecasts provided by producers and management’s
estimates of drilling activity corresponding to current 5-year commodity strip pricing
Dry natural gas volumes are expected to grow at a 5-year CAGR of 11.6% based on management’s estimate of two to
three rigs working in the Fayetteville Shale for BHP beginning in 2014E, one to two rigs working in the Barnett Shale
beginning in 2014E and an average of one half of one rig per year working in the Haynesville beginning in 2014E
Operations and maintenance expenses were derived from a bottom-up forecast provided by CMLP operations managers
2013E includes full-year expenses for CMM, West Johnson County and Enerven assets and a partial year of
expenses for new Marcellus compressor stations in addition to the incremental costs of 18 new full time employees
Fixed costs assumed to increase at 3% per year after 2013E

45
Indicative Valuation of CMLP
Methodology
Description
Metrics/Assumptions
Values CMLP common units based on the concepts of the time
value of money
Utilizing the CMLP Management Financial Projections as
previously reviewed herein, Evercore:
Utilized varying weighted average cost of capital
(“WACC”) discount rates and applied various
perpetuity growth rates to derive after-tax valuation
ranges for CMLP
Calculated terminal values based on a range of
multiples of EBITDA derived from precedent
transactions as well as assumed perpetuity growth
rates
Tax depreciation based on schedule provided by CMLP management
EBITDA exit multiple of 9.0x to 11.0x and a perpetuity growth rate of 0.5% to 1.5%
For the terminal value, tax depreciation assumed to be equal to maintenance capital
expenditures
Weighted average cost of capital based on mid-point of the Capital Asset Pricing Model
(“CAPM”)
Tax rate of 35.0% based on unitholders’
tax rates
Discounted the projected cash flows to the assumed July 1, 2013 effective date
Values the CMLP common units based on the concepts of the time
value of money
Utilizing projected distributions per unit from the CMLP
Management Financial Projections as previously reviewed herein,
Evercore:
Utilized varying total expected market return discount
rates and calculated a terminal value based on various
terminal exit yields
Terminal exit yield range of 7.0% to 10.0%
Cost of equity of 8.5% to 9.5% based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model utilizing betas
from selected publicly-traded peers
Cost of equity of 13.5% to 14.5% based on the expected market total return of selected
publicly-traded peers
Valuation for the CMLP common units based on multiples of
transaction value to EBITDA in historical transactions involving
other natural gas gathering and processing assets
Based on transaction value / EBITDA
Enterprise value / EBITDA multiples applied to 2013E and 2014E EBITDA with the
resulting value discounted at an 8.0% discount rate, the midpoint of the weighted average
cost of capital range based on the assumed July 1, 2013 effective date
Growth capital expenditures discounted at an 8.0% discount rate

business, we expect NRGM’s storage and transportation revenues to continue to comprise over 90% of 2013 revenues. As a whole, fee-based revenues,
which will increase with the Rangeland acquisition are expected to comprise the large majority of the company’s revenues. The company takes
negligible commodity price risk in the storage and transportation business, providing good visibility into
cash flow and debt servicing capability. With such a large base of fee-based revenues, NRGM’s credit risk
is lower than that of many other midstream companies.
Moody’s; November 29, 2012
Credit Rating: Ba3
“If a default occurs, we believe that NRGM would retain the greatest value by reorganizing. To value NRGM, we apply an EBITDA multiple of 7x to
our estimated postdefault run-rate EBITDA of $120 million, which assumes a 40% reduction from our 2013 EBITDA estimate. These valuation
assumptions are slightly more favorable than those used for peers because a significant portion of the partnership's revenues are derived from fee-based firm
contracts. This leads us to a gross enterprise value of $840 million for NRGM.”
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services; December 13, 2012
Credit Rating: BB

Values NRGM based on the concepts of the time value of money
Utilizing the NRGM Management Financial Projections as previously
reviewed herein, Evercore:
Utilized varying weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”)
discount rates and applied various perpetuity growth rates to
derive after-tax valuation ranges for NRGM
Calculated terminal values based on a range of multiples of
EBITDA derived from precedent transactions as well as
assumed perpetuity growth rates
Values the NRGM common units based on the concepts of the time value of
money
Utilized varying total expected market return discount rates and
calculated a terminal value based on a various terminal exit yields
Valuation for the NRGM common units based on current market enterprise
value multiples of relevant EBITDA for selected comparable publicly-traded
entities
Valuation for the NRGM common units based on the most recent research 
analyst price targets of firms covering NRGM
Tax depreciation based on a 15-year MACRS schedule and a full
step-up in tax basis
Terminal exit yield range of 6.0% to 8.0%
Cost of equity of 7.5% to 9.5% based on the Capital Asset Pricing
Model utilizing betas from selected publicly-traded peers
Cost of equity of 9.0% to 11.0% based on the expected market total
return of selected publicly-traded peers

For the terminal value, tax depreciation assumed to be equal to
maintenance capital expenditures
Weighted average cost of capital based on mid-point of the Capital
Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”) and distribution yields and expected
growth in distributions for entities with comparable assets
Discounted the projected cash flows to the assumed July 1, 2013
effective date
Utilizing projected distributions per unit from the NRGM Management
Financial Projections as previously reviewed herein, Evercore:
Valuation for the NRGM common units based on multiples of transaction
value to EBITDA in historical transactions involving other natural gas storage
and pipeline assets
Tax rate of 35.0% based on unitholders’ tax rates
Enterprise value / EBITDA multiples applied to 2013E and 2014E

Summary Pro Forma Impact
DRAFT


Confidential
DRAFT
Evercore analyzed the pro forma impact to NRGM unitholders and CMLP unitholders from the Proposed Transaction,
utilizing
the
CMLP
Management
Financial
Projections
and
the
NRGM
Management
Financial
Projections
previously
reviewed
herein
NRGM acquires CMLP assuming a 5.0% premium to CMLP’s 20-Day VWAP of $24.11 as of April 19, 2013, or $25.31
per unit, plus $0.41 in cash for a total value of $25.73 per CMLP unit, representing a total enterprise value of $2.3 billion
or 10.9x 2014E EBITDA
CMLP’s projected total debt outstanding of $787.4 million as of July 1, 2013 assumed by NRGM, without triggering
change of control provisions
Assumes one-time change of control payments to NRGM management of $10.0 million and one-time integration
expenses of $150.0 million are funded with borrowings from NRGM’s existing revolver
Assumes a total distribution coverage equal to NRGM’s standalone distribution coverage pro forma for the Proposed
Transaction
Assumes NRGM and CMLP (excluding CMM) growth capital expenditures are funded 50.0% with equity issued to the
public at an all-in discount of 8.0% to the then-current projected unit price assuming NRGM’s current yield of 6.81%
Transaction fees and expenses of $20.0 million are funded with borrowings on NRGM’s existing revolver
Assumes $10.0 million and $15.0 million of annual synergies in 2013E and 2014E, respectively, and $20.0 million of
annual synergies in each of 2015E, 2016E and 2017E
Evercore analyzed the pro forma impact to distributable cash flow per current CMLP unit and distribution per current
CMLP unit utilizing sensitivities related to: (i) incremental EBITDA at NRGM pro forma for the Proposed Transaction
(in excess of the annual synergies previously reviewed herein) ranging from ($15.0) to $15.0 million and (ii) an offer
price premium to CMLP’s 20-Day VWAP ranging between 0.0% and 25.0%
Evercore also analyzed the pro forma NRGM yield necessary for the CMLP implied pro forma projected price to equal
the CMLP standalone projected price based on CMLP’s current yield utilizing sensitivities related to an offer price
premium to CMLP’s 20-Day VWAP ranging between 0.0% and 25.0% per unit
Assumptions
94
Summary Pro Forma Impact
Transaction assumed to be financed with NRGM common equity issued directly to CMLP common unitholders
and the $25.0 million of cash consideration financed with borrowings from NRGM’s existing revolver
Implies a 1.061x NRGM/CMLP exchange ratio, assuming NRGM’s 20-Day VWAP of $23.55
CMM growth capital expenditures are funded 100.0% with borrowings on CMM’s revolving credit facility

Certain Benefits and Issues for Consideration With Respect
to the Proposed Transaction

DRAFT
Benefits
Certain Benefits and Issues for Consideration With Respect to the Proposed Transaction
109
Overview
Proposed Transaction provides larger scale and more
diversified business mix
Combined entity would be 48.4% gathering &
processing, 28.4% storage and transportation,
19.1% NGL and crude supply logistics and 4.1%
other
Expanded footprint to all the major U.S. shale
plays, excluding the Eagle Ford Shale
Reduces Quicksilver and Antero to 28.1% and
29.1%, respectively, of pro forma 2013E
EBITDA
Potentially improved cost of capital
NRGM is currently rated ‘BB’
with a “fair”
business
risk
profile
and
“significant”
financial
risk
profile
as
compared
to
CMLP’s
‘B’
credit
rating and “Weak/Aggressive”
profiles
NRGM currently has a 6.8% common unit yield
versus CMLP’s current 8.2% common unit yield
Creates a platform that may be better positioned to
compete for new projects
Vertically integrated across the natural gas and
NGL value chain
Potentially improved cost of capital
Considerations
Ability of CMLP to execute on CMLP Management
Financial Projections and risk of not executing on that
set of projections
Distribution of pro forma distributable cash flow per
unit and distribution per unit for CMLP units
Likely pro forma yield and ability to provide
incremental value for CMLP unitholders despite
dilution
Benefits of potential asset transfers from NRGY
Future accretion in distributable cash flow per
unit
Ability to support pro forma distribution and
credit ratios
