PRELIMINARY CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY Process Update on Arkose Midstream GP Structural Alternatives  Immediately following the March 9th Board presentation, the Special Committee and its financial and legal advisors conducted a detailed review of structural alternatives available to GP. The review included: — — Due diligence with management on the status quo Upstream, Midstream, and GP financial plans Examination of major trends in the midstream and MLP capital markets, the broader energy market, and the recent structural simplifications that have occurred in the midstream sector Financial and capital market comparisons of two different structural alternatives to the status quo plan: i) GP acquiring Midstream using all stock, and ii) a recapitalization of the IDRs held by the GP using Midstream LP units —  As a result of our review, the Special Committee observes the following with regard to the market environment: — There is notable stress in the midstream capital markets for companies such as Midstream that chose to be structured as limited partnerships: – The Alerian MLP index – as a proxy for the midstream sector --is 46% lower over the last 5 years, 26% lower over the last 1 year, and 13% lower year-to-date A steep drop-off in liquidity has occurred for both primary and secondary midstream equity capital Significant and wide-spread distribution/dividend cuts have occurred across the sector over the last 5 years as growth has decelerated and as equity capital has become scarce – – — Since 2013, we have identified 16 MLP simplifications that share similarities to the alternatives we evaluated –Increasingly these simplification transactions are being undertaken proactively rather than defensively to eliminate IDRs or the trading of MLPs entirely –There is a critical mass of precedent for a GP-Buys-Midstream style transaction. Of the 16 transaction noted above, 7 transactions involved a GP-entity acquiring their MLP in a taxable transaction primarily for stock (1) (1) Kinder Morgan – Kinder Morgan Partners (Aug-2014); Kinder Morgan-El Paso Energy Partners (Aug-2014); Targa-Targa Resource Partners (Nov-2015); Semgroup-Rose Rock Midstream (May-2016); ONEOK-ONEOK Partners (Feb-2017); Archrock-Archrock Partners (Jan-2018); and Tallgrass GP-Tallgrass Energy Partners (Apr-2018) 4 Executive Summary

PRELIMINARY CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY Process Update on Arkose Midstream GP Structural Alternatives (Cont’d)  These market factors favor structural simplification versus the status quo. Preliminary analysis suggests a GP-Buys-Midstream structure is preferable to an IDR recapitalization (or the status quo plan), driven by a number of factors, including: — Combination of separate pools of equity into a single, larger, and common pool of 1099 equity, which is attractive to a broader group of investors Significant accretion in cash distributions and distributable cash flow per GP common share — – – Transaction accelerates GP’s economic ownership of Midstream distributed cash flow, potentially by many years Meaningful tax synergies increases the total amount of cash available for distribution for GP and Midstream without any corresponding reduction in distribution coverage GP common shareholders will have economic ownership of Midstream’s pre-coverage distributable cash flow (versus relying on actual cash distributions being paid by Midstream in order to receive cash at the GP entity) – — The pro forma GP entity will remain the highest growth midstream equity in the sector, with cash accretion helping to further offset any adverse effects on valuation of a “blending-down” of the GP distribution growth rate as a result of the deal  The Special Committee also examined the potential market reactions and shareholder base implications for a GP-Buys Midstream transaction. Our preference for a single 1099 equity as the future form of ownership is driven by: — — Broader universe of investors for a 1099 equity, especially those outside of dedicated midstream/MLP funds Larger follow-on offerings have been executed for 1099 versus K-1 equities, and generally there appears to be greater daily trading liquidity for 1099s than K-1s after adjusting for market cap/float However, a major “prize” for a 1099 stock is index inclusion, which generates required index investor buying. Our pro forma GP-entity would have 3 significant “red flags” preventing index eligibility: — – – – i) Partnerships are specifically not eligible, a change in form to a true C-Corp would be required; ii) non-traditional governance arrangements make inclusion highly unlikely, and iii) S&P has a 50% float requirement (versus an expected ~45% float on a pro forma basis) 5 Executive Summary

PRELIMINARY CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY Process Update on Arkose Midstream GP Structural Alternatives (Cont’d)  Given these various considerations, the Special Committee is continuing to evaluate a GP-Buys-Midstream transaction. The main features of the transaction would be: — — Issuance of GP stock to acquire all outstanding LP units of Midstream Transaction would be taxable to Midstream LP unitholders in order to generate a tax basis step-up to shield cash taxes for a period of time at the surviving GP entity Simplification of all equity interests in Midstream, including the IDRs and the Series B interest in IDR LLC, into one single equity security Status quo partnership form and governance arrangements (i.e., no “NewCo C-Corp” structure) — —  In order for the Special Committee to move forward with the determination of an initial exchange ratio to propose to Midstream, we wish to reach a common and clear understanding with the GP Board of the framework for Series B compensation — — The Series B have significant economic value to the holders of those interests Conversion of the Series B into common shares as suggested in the March 9th presentation represents a meaningful portion of the overall equity in the pro forma GP entity –25mm shares represents ~4 - 5% pro forma ownership in the combined entity 6 Executive Summary
