(2)	In connection with the initial public offering (the "IPO") of Targa Resources Corp. ("Targa"), all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert, immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO, into shares of common stock, based on (a) the 10 to 1 conversion ratio applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock plus (b) the accreted value per share, which includes accrued and unpaid dividends of the Series B Preferred Stock divided by the IPO price for Targa's offering of common stock after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case giving effect to a reverse stock split of Targa's common stock based on a ratio that is dependent on the IPO price offered to the public.

(3)	Mr. Whalen may exercise the options to purchase common stock at any time while he continues to remain an employee of Targa, and the options to purchase common stock will generally terminate and cease to be exercisable at such time as Mr. Whalen is no longer an employee of Targa.
