Executive Summary
As
part
of
the
Proposed
Transaction,
NRGM
has
proposed
to
acquire
each
CMLP
common
unit
and
Class
D
Unit
outstanding
in
exchange
for:
(i)
1.089x
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 $1.6 billion based on a 20-Day VWAP as of April 25, 2013 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 $2.4 billion
Pro forma for the Proposed Transaction, CMLP unitholders will own 43.3% 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
(40.2
million
NRGY
units
based
on
the
20-Day
VWAP
as
of
April
25,
2013)
Step
4:
Crestwood
Holdings
will
contribute
a
portion
of
its
CMLP
units,
currently
proposed
to
be
6.3
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
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

Overview of CMLP
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

The primary producer on the system, Quicksilver, represented

On March 29, 2013, Quicksilver announced that it had executed an
agreement to sell an undivided 25.0% interest in its Barnett Shale oil
and gas assets for $485.0 million to TG Barnett Resources LP, a
U.S. subsidiary of Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd.
Future development spending will be shared in proportion to
each party’s working interest

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
The West Johnson County System was operational from 
August 24, 2012 to December 1, 2012
Natural gas production gathered and processed
pursuant to the agreement was approximately 96
MMcfd as of December 31, 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

Fayetteville Shale (10.5% of 2013E EBITDA Excluding Corporate
Expenses)
25
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”

Granite Wash (1.8% of 2013E EBITDA Excluding Corporate Expenses)
26
Overview of CMLP
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Granite
Wash segment’s EBITDA was 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

Ladenburg Thalmann, Eduardo Seda; February 27, 2013
Price Target: $32.50
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.”

The CMLP Management Financial Projections as provided by CMLP management and utilized herein by Evercore, incorporate the
following assumptions:
Marcellus volumes are expected to increase 101.2% year-over-year from 227.2 MMcfd in 2012A to 457.1 MMcfd in 2013E
based on Antero’s volume forecast provided to CMLP management
Barnett rich natural gas volumes are expected to increase 32.2% year-over-year from 163.5 MMcfd in 2012A to 216.1 MMcfd
in 2013E based on a full year contribution from Devon and increasing offload point volumes from Empire Pipeline
Corporation (“Empire”)
Empire is as a natural gas utility serving Parker, western Tarrant, northern Hood and western Johnson Counties, Texas
operating over 240 miles of low-pressure gathering and transmission pipeline
Barnett dry natural gas volumes are expected to decline by 12.5%
year-over-year from 268.4 MMcfd in 2012A to 234.9
MMcfd in 2013E due to limited anticipated 2013E drilling activity and no well completions by Quicksilver
Fayetteville dry natural gas volumes are expected to increase by
12.9% year-over-year from 86.7 MMcfd in 2012A to 97.9
MMcfd in 2013E due to 23 new BHP wells expected to be connected to the CMLP gathering system
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 3.0% per year after 2013E

which incorporate the following assumptions:
Operating and financial projections for the year ending December
31, 2013 assumed to equal the operating and financial
projections in the CMLP Management Financial Projections
Rich natural gas volumes from the Barnett, Granite Wash and Avalon are assumed to equal the projections in the CMLP
Management Financial Projections
Expected to grow at a 5-year CAGR of 10.9%
Natural gas processing volumes from the Barnett and Granite Wash
are assumed to equal the projections in the CMLP
Management Financial Projections
Marcellus rich natural gas volume 5-year CAGR of 14.4% in the CMLP Management Financial Projections decreased to 3.6%
in the CMLP Downside Financial Projections based on a CMLP management case of Antero’s drilling schedule deceleration
Marcellus compression volume 5-year CAGR of 24.4% in the CMLP Management Financial Projections decreased to
12.8% in the CMLP Downside Financial Projections due to the lower gathering volumes assumed
Dry natural gas volumes 5-year CAGR of 11.6% in the CMLP Management Financial Projections decreased to (2.4%) in the
CMLP Downside Financial Projections
Operations and maintenance expenses were derived from a bottom-up forecast provided by CMLP operations managers

The NRGM Downside Financial Projections as provided by CMLP management and utilized herein by Evercore are based off the
NRGM Management Financial Projections and adjusted by the following assumptions:
Firm storage is re-contracted at an average rate of $0.085 per [maximum storage quantity per month] with a $0.01 increase
each year beginning in fiscal 2015E
Hub Services EBITDA remains flat at $11.0 million following 2013E
A reduction of 100 MMcfd  of Marc I unsubscribed firm transportation volume at $0.192/Dekatherm beginning the third
quarter of fiscal 2013E through the end of fiscal 2014E
Assumes 50.0% of 100 Mcfd capacity is utilized beginning in 2015E and thereafter
All COLT contracts roll to mid-2016E at current take-or-pay rates
COLT contracts roll to volumetric recovery upon expiration at 60.0% utilization thereafter
Elimination of the Seneca Lake Gas Storage Expansion project in 2015E and associated growth capital expenditures
Delay of Watkins-Glen NGL storage by one quarter from Q4 2013 to Q1 2014
Elimination of COLT Hub Phase II project in 2015E and associated
growth capital expenditures, while COLT Hub Phase I is
assumed to secure long-term take-or-pay contracts at current projected rates
Elimination of the Commonwealth Pipeline expansion project in 2016E and associated growth capital expenditures
Assumes the same total distribution coverage that was assumed in
the NRGM Management Financial Projections

Methodology
Description
Metrics/Assumptions
Discounted Cash Flow
Analysis:
Financials Projections
Values NRGM based on the concepts of the time value of money
Utilizing the NRGM Management Financial Projections and the NRGM
Downside 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
Tax depreciation based on a 15-year MACRS schedule and a full step-up
in tax basis
EBITDA exit multiple of 11.5x to 13.5x 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”) and distribution yields and expected growth in
distributions for entities with comparable assets
Tax rate of 35.0% based on unitholders’
tax rates
Discounted the projected cash flows to the assumed July 1, 2013
effective date

Summary Pro Forma Impact
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 $24.42 as of April 25, 2013, or $25.64 per
unit, plus $0.41 in cash for a total value of $26.06 per CMLP unit, representing a total enterprise value of $2.4 billion or 11.0x
2014E EBITDA
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 1.089x NRGM/CMLP exchange ratio, assuming NRGM’s 20-Day VWAP of $23.55
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
$15.0 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 6.48%
CMM growth capital expenditures are funded 100.0% with borrowings on CMM’s revolving credit facility
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

Summary Pro Forma Impact
Evercore analyzed the pro forma impact to NRGM unitholders and CMLP unitholders from the Proposed Transaction, utilizing the
CMLP Downside Financial Projections and the NRGM Downside Financial Projections previously reviewed herein
NRGM acquires CMLP assuming a 5.0% premium to CMLP’s 20-Day VWAP of $24.42 as of April 25, 2013, or $25.64 per
unit, plus $0.41 in cash for a total value of $26.06 per CMLP unit, representing a total enterprise value of $2.4 billion or 11.0x
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
$15.0 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 6.48%
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
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 1.089x 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


Confidential
DRAFT
Benefits
Certain Benefits and Issues for Consideration With Respect to the Proposed Transaction
139
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 6.5% common unit yield
versus CMLP’s current 8.1% 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
