     1.  Performance Unit Grant . I am pleased to inform you that you 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.

     3.  Vesting.

     (a) If you cease to be employed by Targa Resources Investments Inc. and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Company”) during the Performance Period for any reason other than as provided below, all Performance Units and tandem DERs awarded to you shall be automatically forfeited without payment upon your termination. For 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 are a party to an agreement with the Company in which the term cause is defined, that definition of cause shall apply for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. Otherwise, “Cause” means (i) failure to perform assigned duties and responsibilities (ii) engaging in conduct which is injurious (monetarily or otherwise) to the Company or any of its Affiliates, (iii) breach of any corporate policy or code of conduct established by the Company or breach of any agreement between the Company and you, or (iv) conviction of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or a felony.
