all claims and demands whatsoever. The limited liability company agreement of the General Partner provides that the General Partner will, to the extent deemed advisable by the board of directors of the General Partner, indemnify any person who is or
was an officer or director of the General Partner, the record holder of the General Partner&#146;s voting shares, and any person who is or was an officer, director or affiliate of the record holder of the General Partner&#146;s voting shares, from

any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such indemnitee&#146;s conduct was unlawful. Such liabilities include any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint or several), expenses (including, without limitation, legal
fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements and other amounts. Officers and directors of the General Partner are also indemnified by the Registrant. </P>

improper personal benefit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The General Partner has also entered into Indemnification Agreements (each, an &#147;Indemnification

agreement or as such laws may be amended to increase the scope of such permitted indemnification, against certain claims and losses incurred in connection with such indemnitee&#146;s service to the General Partner. The Indemnification Agreement also
provides that the General Partner must advance payment of certain expenses to the indemnitee, including fees of counsel, subject to receipt of an undertaking from the indemnitee to return such advance if it is ultimately determined that the
indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the General Partner pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the General Partner has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. </P>

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Plan provides that the committee that administers the Plan (the "Committee") and each member thereof shall be entitled to, in
good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or employee of the Registrant, Crestwood Equity GP LLC (the "General Partner"), or any of their respective affiliates, the legal counsel of
the Registrant or its General Partner, independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of the Plan. Members of the Committee and any officer or employee of the Registrant, its General Partner, or any of their
affiliates acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified
and held harmless by the Registrant with respect to any such action or determination.
Crestwood Equity GP LLC
Section 18-108
of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that, subject to such
standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and
all claims and demands whatsoever. The limited liability company agreement of the General Partner provides that the General Partner will, to the extent deemed advisable by the board of directors of the General Partner, indemnify any person who is or
was an officer or director of the General Partner, the record holder of the General Partner's voting shares, and any person who is or was an officer, director or affiliate of the record holder of the General Partner's voting shares, from
liabilities arising by reason of such person's status, provided that the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which such indemnitee believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the General Partner and, with respect to
any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. Such liabilities include any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint or several), expenses (including, without limitation, legal
fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements and other amounts. Officers and directors of the General Partner are also indemnified by the Registrant.
The general effect of the foregoing is to provide indemnification to officers and directors for liabilities that may arise by reason of their
status as officers or directors, other than liabilities arising from willful or intentional misconduct, acts or omissions not in good faith, unlawful distributions of corporate assets or transactions from which the officer or director derived an
improper personal benefit.
The General Partner has also entered into Indemnification Agreements (each, an "Indemnification
Agreement") with each officer and director of the General Partner pursuant to which the General Partner will indemnify and hold harmless each such indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law in effect on the date of the
agreement or as such laws may be amended to increase the scope of such permitted indemnification, against certain claims and losses incurred in connection with such indemnitee's service to the General Partner. The Indemnification Agreement also
provides that the General Partner must advance payment of certain expenses to the indemnitee, including fees of counsel, subject to receipt of an undertaking from the indemnitee to return such advance if it is ultimately determined that the
indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the General Partner pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the General Partner has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Crestwood Equity Partners LP
Section 17-108
of the Delaware LP Act provides that, subject to such standards and restrictions,
if any, as are set forth in its partnership agreement, a Delaware limited partnership may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. The
partnership agreement provides that, in most circumstances, the Registrant will indemnify the following persons, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against all losses, claims, damages or similar events:
•
the General Partner;
•
any departing general partner;
•
any person who is or was an affiliate of the General Partner or any departing general partner;
•
any person who is or was a member, partner, officer, director employee, agent or trustee of the General Partner
or any departing general partner or any affiliate of the General Partner or any departing general partner; or
•
any person who is or was serving at the request of the General Partner or any departing general partner or any
affiliate of the General Partner or any departing general partner as an officer, director, employee, member, partner, agent or trustee of another person.
The general effect of the foregoing is to provide indemnification to officers and directors for liabilities that may arise by reason of their
status as officers or directors, other than liabilities arising from willful or intentional misconduct, acts or omissions not in good faith, unlawful distributions of corporate assets or transactions from which the officer or director derived an
improper personal benefit.
Any indemnification under these provisions will only be out of the Registrant's assets. The General
Partner or any other general partner will not be personally liable for, or have any obligation to contribute or loan funds or assets to the Registrant to enable the Registrant to effectuate, indemnification. The Registrant has purchased insurance
covering its officers and directors against liabilities asserted against and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with their activities as officers and directors of the General Partner or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
