ARTICLE I

The Merger and the Second Step Merger

Section 1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DLLCA, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), the separate limited liability company existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will continue its existence as a limited liability company under Delaware Law as the surviving company in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”).

Section 1.2. Closing. Subject to the provisions of Article VI, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, 700 Louisiana Street, Suite 1700, Houston, Texas 77002 at 10:00 A.M., Houston, Texas time, on the second (2nd) business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), or at such other place, date and time as the Company and Parent shall agree. Each of the Merger, the KMP Merger and the EPB Merger shall be consummated substantially concurrently on the same date in the sequence set forth on Section 1.2 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date”.

Section 1.3. Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company and Parent will cause each of a certificate of merger, executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the LLC Agreement and the DLLCA (the “Certificate of Merger”), and the Charter Amendment, executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, to be duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by the Company and Parent in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”). The Charter Amendment shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger and shall become effective at or prior to the Effective Time.

Section 1.4. Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement, the LLC Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DLLCA.

2

Section 1.5. Organizational Documents of the Surviving Company. At the Effective Time, (i) the limited liability company agreement of the Company shall be amended and restated to be the same as the limited liability company agreement of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and, as so amended, shall be the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company (except that the name of the Surviving Company shall be “Kinder Morgan Management, LLC”), until thereafter further duly amended as provided therein or in accordance with applicable Law, and (ii) the certificate of formation of the Company shall be amended and restated to be the same as the certificate of formation of Merger Sub as is in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that the name of the Surviving Company shall be “Kinder Morgan Management, LLC”) and as so amended shall be the certificate of formation of the Surviving Company, until thereafter further amended as provided therein or by applicable Law, in each of clauses (i) and (ii) consistent with the obligations set forth in Section 5.8(b).

Section 1.6. Organizational Documents of Parent. The certificate of incorporation of Parent shall be amended prior to the Effective Time as set forth in Exhibit A (the “Charter Amendment”), and the certificate of incorporation of Parent, as amended by such Charter Amendment, shall be the certificate of incorporation of Parent until thereafter amended or changed as provided herein or by applicable Law, consistent with the obligations set forth in Section 5.8(b).

Section 1.7. Second Step Merger. Parent may, in its sole discretion and immediately following the Effective Time (but subject to the delivery of opinions required by Section 6.2(c) and Section 6.3(c), in each case, incorporating the Second Step Merger) cause the Surviving Company to be merged with and into a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent that is a “disregarded entity” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(b)(1)(i)(A) (“Second Step Merger Sub”), with Second Step Merger Sub surviving such merger (the “Second Step Merger”). No consideration shall be issued in the Second Step Merger. If Parent causes the Second Step Merger to occur in accordance with this Section 1.7, references herein to the Surviving Company shall refer to Second Step Merger Sub.

ARTICLE II

Effect on Company Securities

Section 2.1. Effect of Merger. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holder of any securities of the Company or Merger Sub:

(a) Conversion of Listed Shares and Voting Shares. Subject to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.2(h) and Section 2.3, each Listed Share and Voting Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive 2.4849 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Class P Stock (the “Exchange Ratio” and such consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

3

(b) Equity of Merger Sub. The membership interests in Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding membership interests in the Company (as the Surviving Company). At the Effective Time, the books and records of the Company shall be revised to reflect admission of Parent as the sole Shareholder or sole member of the Company and the simultaneous withdrawal of all other Shareholders of the Company and Parent shall continue the existence of the Company (as the Surviving Company) without dissolution.

(c) Treatment of Company-Owned Company Securities. All Company Securities, other than issued and outstanding Voting Shares owned by the KMP General Partner which shall be converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a), that are owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the KMP General Partner shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange for such canceled Company Securities.

(d) Certificates. As of the Effective Time, all Voting Shares and Listed Shares converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Listed Shares or Voting Shares (a “Certificate”) or non-certificated Listed Shares or Voting Shares represented in book-entry form immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(g) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(h), in each case to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.2(c), without interest.

Section 2.2. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective Time, but in no event more than five (5) business days following the Effective Time, Parent will send, or will cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of record of Company Securities as of the Effective Time whose Company Securities were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and, to the extent commercially practicable, to make available for collection by hand, during customary business hours commencing immediately after the Effective Time, if so elected by such holder of record), a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that, with respect to certificated Listed Shares and Voting Shares, the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(i)) to the Exchange Agent) in such customary forms as the Company and Parent may reasonably agree prior to the Effective Time, including, as applicable, instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(i)) and Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent in exchange for the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of any fractional

4

shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(h) and any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(g).

(b) Deposit. At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Company Securities whose Company Securities are converting into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time, shares of Parent Class P Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is specifically requested, following the Effective Time, by the holder of such shares of Parent Class P Stock), payable upon due surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(i) with respect to certificated Company Securities) or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Following the Effective Time, Parent agrees to make available to the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, cash in U.S. dollars or other consideration as applicable sufficient to pay any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(g) and any shares of Parent Class P Stock sufficient to pay any Merger Consideration, in each case, that may be payable from time to time following the Effective Time. All cash and book-entry shares representing Parent Class P Stock and any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(g) deposited with the Exchange Agent or representing share proceeds obtained pursuant to Section 2.2(h) shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions delivered by Parent at or prior to the Effective Time, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be issued or paid pursuant to this Article II out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to pay such Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(h) and any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(g).

(c) Exchange. Each holder of Company Securities that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, upon delivery to the Exchange Agent of a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto and surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(i) with respect to certificated Company Securities) or Book-Entry Shares and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent (including with respect to Book-Entry Shares), will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) the number of shares of Parent Class P Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is specifically requested, following the Effective Time, by the holder of such shares of Parent Class P Stock) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Parent Class P Stock that such holder has the right to receive in accordance with the provisions of this Article II, (ii) a check denominated in U.S. dollars in the amount of cash that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article II (including any cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(h)) and (iii) such dividends or other distributions as such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(g). The Merger Consideration and such other amounts as reflected in the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid as promptly as practicable after receipt by the Exchange Agent of the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(i) with respect to certificated Company Securities) or any applicable documentation with respect to the surrender of Book-Entry Shares and letter of transmittal in accordance with the foregoing. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares or on any unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall,

5

after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration and such other amount as contemplated by Section 2.2(g).

(d) Other Payees. If any cash payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the making of such cash payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition to the registration thereof that the surrendered Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other similar Taxes required as a result of such registration in the name of a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) No Further Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration on the books of the Company of transfers of Company Securities converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing Company Securities converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Securities, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article II.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Securities converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged his, her or its Company Securities for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.2 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for delivery of the Merger Consideration in respect of such holder’s Company Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall not be liable to any holder of Company Securities for any Merger Consideration duly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property Laws. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Securities immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Dividends and Distributions. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Class P Stock issued in the Merger shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares until such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are surrendered as provided in this Section 2.2. Following such surrender, subject to the effect of

6

escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, there shall be paid, without interest, to the record holder of the shares of Parent Class P Stock, if any, issued in exchange therefor (i) at the time of such surrender, all dividends and other distributions payable in respect of any such shares of Parent Class P Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of such surrender and not previously paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such shares of Parent Class P Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to such surrender. For purposes of dividends or other distributions in respect of shares of Parent Class P Stock, all shares of Parent Class P Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be entitled to dividends pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as if issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time.

(h) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Class P Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Company Securities converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Class P Stock (after taking into account all Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(i)) or Book-Entry Shares to be delivered by such holder) shall be entitled to receive, from the Exchange Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2(h), a cash payment, without interest, in lieu of such fractional shares representing such holder’s proportionate interest, if any, in the proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent (reduced by reasonable and customary fees of the Exchange Agent attributable to such sale) (as so reduced, the “share proceeds”) in one or more transactions of a number of shares of Parent Class P Stock, such number equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Class P Stock to be delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) over (ii) the aggregate number of whole shares of Parent Class P Stock to be distributed to the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares pursuant to Section 2.2(c) (such excess being, the “Excess Shares”). The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash share proceeds in lieu of issuing certificates or scrip for fractional shares was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, as agent for the holders of the Company Securities that would otherwise receive fractional shares of Parent Class P Stock, shall sell the Excess Shares at then-prevailing prices on the NYSE in the manner provided in this Section 2.2(h) and shall execute such sales in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the share proceeds of such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of such Company Securities, or the Exchange Fund is terminated, the Exchange Agent shall hold such share proceeds in trust for the benefit of the holders of such Company Securities (the “Fractional Share Proceeds”). The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of the Fractional Share Proceeds to which each holder of such Company Securities shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate share proceeds comprising the Fractional Share Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional shares to which such holder of such Company Securities would otherwise be entitled and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional shares to which all holders of such Company Securities would otherwise be entitled. To the extent applicable, each holder of Company Securities shall be deemed to have consented for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and to the extent applicable, state or local income tax purposes) to

7

report the cash received for fractional shares in the Merger as a sale of a portion of the holder’s Company Securities to Parent.

(i) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Company Securities represented by such Certificate as contemplated by this Article II and any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(g)

(j) Withholding Taxes. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts, if any, as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law (and to the extent deduction and withholding is required, such deduction and withholding shall be taken in Parent Class P Stock and Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be treated as having sold such consideration for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such consideration at the time of such deemed sale and paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate taxing authority). To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding was made.

Section 2.3. Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article II to the contrary, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the number of outstanding Listed Shares, Voting Shares or shares of Parent Class P Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class or series by reason of the occurrence or record date of any share dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, split-up, share distribution, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction (other than regular quarterly distributions of Listed Shares and Voting Shares as required by the LLC Agreement as of the date hereof), the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect fully the effect of such share dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, split-up or share distribution, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction and to provide the holders of Listed Shares or Voting Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

Section 2.4. No Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties of the Company

Except as disclosed in (a) the Company SEC Documents filed or publicly furnished with the SEC on or after December 31, 2013 and prior to the date of this Agreement (but excluding any disclosure contained in any such Company SEC Documents under the heading “Risk

Factors” or “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” or similar heading (other than any factual information contained within such headings, disclosure or statements)) or (b) the disclosure letter delivered by the Company to Parent (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”) prior to the execution of this Agreement (provided that (i) disclosure in any section of such Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed with respect to any other section of this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that it is applicable to such other section notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross reference thereto and (ii) the mere inclusion of an item in such Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had, would have or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect), the Company represents and warrants to Parent as follows:

Section 3.1. Organization, Standing and Corporate Power.

(a) For purposes of this Section 5.8, (i) “Indemnified Person” shall mean any person who is now, or has been or becomes at any time prior to the Effective Time, an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and also with respect to any such Person, in their capacity as a director, officer, employee, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, foundation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (whether or not such other entity or enterprise is affiliated with the Company) serving at the request of or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators and (ii) “Proceeding” shall mean any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise and whether or not such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation results in a formal civil or criminal litigation or regulatory action.

39

Persons to the fullest extent authorized or permitted under applicable Law and (ii) honor the provisions regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses contained in the Organizational Documents of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time and ensure that the Organizational Documents of the Company shall, for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company than are presently set forth in such Organizational Documents. Any right of an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 5.8(b) shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified at any time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of such Indemnified Person as provided herein.

(c) Parent shall cause the Company to, and the Company shall, maintain in effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time with respect to Indemnified Persons (provided that the Company may substitute therefor policies with reputable carriers of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the Indemnified Persons); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to expend pursuant to this Section 5.8(c) more than an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance (the “Maximum Amount”). In the event that, but for the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company would be required to expend more than the Maximum Amount, the Company shall obtain the maximum amount of such insurance as is available for the Maximum Amount. If the Company in its sole discretion elects, then, in lieu of the obligations of Parent under this Section 5.8(c), the Company may, prior to the Effective Time, purchase a “tail policy” with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time that were committed or alleged to have been committed by such Indemnified Persons in their capacity as such; provided that in no event shall the cost of such policy exceed six (6) times the Maximum Amount.

(d) The rights of any Indemnified Person under this Section 5.8 shall be in addition to any other rights such Indemnified Person may have under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any indemnification agreements or the DLLCA.

If Parent and/or the Company, or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of their businesses or assets to any other Person, then, in each such case, to the extent necessary, a proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and/or the Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations of Parent and the Company set forth in this Section 5.8.

Section 5.9. Securityholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any securityholder litigation against the

40
