have been granted the above number of Performance Units with
respect to Common Units (“Common Units” or
“Units”) of Targa Resources Partners LP (the
“MLP”) under the Targa Resources Investments Inc. Long
Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A Performance Unit is
a notional Common Unit of the MLP. Each Performance Unit also
includes a tandem Distribution Equivalent Right
(“DER”). A DER is a right to receive an amount equal to
the cash distributions made with respect to a Common Unit during
the Performance Period (set forth on Attachment A) as described in
Section 4. The terms of the grant are subject to the terms of
the Plan and this Performance Unit Grant Agreement (this
“Agreement”), which includes Attachment A
hereto.
2.
Performance Goal and Payment . Subject to the further
provisions of this Agreement, if, and to the extent, the
Performance Goal (set forth on Attachment A) is achieved for the
Performance Period, then as soon as reasonably practical following
the end of the Performance Period (but in no event later than the
15th day of March following the end of the year during which the
Performance Period ends), you will receive, in cancellation of your
Performance Units, an amount of cash equal to the product of
(i) your number of Performance Units times (ii) the
Performance Percentage (set forth in Item II on Attachment A)
for the Performance Period times (iii) the Fair Market Value
of a Common Unit on the last day of the Performance Period. In
addition, you will receive cash relating to the amount of the DER
that you are entitled to as described in Section 4. If,
however, the minimum Performance Goal is not achieved for the
Performance Period, all of your Performance Units and DERs will be
cancelled automatically without payment at the end of the
Performance Period.

purposes of this Agreement, “employment with the
Company” shall include being an employee or a Director of, or
a Consultant to, the Company.
(b) If you cease
to be employed by the Company during the Performance Period as a
result of your death or a disability that entitles you to
disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability
plan, or your employment is terminated by the Company other than
for Cause, you will be vested in any Performance Units that you are
otherwise qualified to receive payment for based on achievement of
the Performance Goal at the end of the Performance Period. If you
