Disclaimers FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation includes certain statements, estimates and projections concerning expectations for the future that are forward looking within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These “forward-looking” statements appear in a number of places in this presentation and include, without limitation, any statement that may project, indicate or imply future results, events, performance or achievements, and may contain the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, or future conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.” They also include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Summit’s plans, intentions, beliefs, expectations and assumptions, as well as other statements that are not historical facts. Generally, these statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including “will,” “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” or other similar words. When considering these “forward-looking” statements, you should keep in mind that a number of factors that are beyond Summit’s control could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by any such forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, the following risks and uncertainties: fluctuations in oil, natural gas and NGL prices; the extent and quality of natural gas volumes produced within proximity of Summit’s assets; failure or delays by Summit’s customers in achieving expected production in their natural gas projects; competitive conditions in Summit’s industry and their impact on Summit’s ability to connect natural gas supplies to its gathering and processing assets or systems; actions or inactions taken or nonperformance by third parties, including suppliers, contractors, operators, processors, and shippers; Summit’s ability to successfully integrate recently acquired assets including but not limited to the Drop Down Assets; operating hazards, natural disasters, weather-related delays, casualty losses and other matters beyond Summit’s control; Summit’s ability to control the costs of construction, including costs of materials, labor and right-of-way and other factors that may impact Summit’s ability to complete projects within budget and on schedule; the results or outcome of any legal matters or governmental investigations related to the January 2015 pipeline rupture at Mountaineer Midstream; and the effects of existing and future laws and governmental regulations, including environmental requirements on Summit’s business or operations. Forward-looking statements contain known and unknown risks and uncertainties (many of which are difficult to predict and beyond management’s control) that may cause SMLP’s actual results in future periods to differ materially from anticipated or projected results. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include statements regarding the necessity of accessing the debt and equity capital markets, financial guidance with respect to distribution growth, distribution coverage ratios, adjusted EBITDA, expected commodity prices and adjusted distributable cash flow, and the expected amount of the Deferred Payment. An extensive list of specific material risks and uncertainties affecting SMLP is contained in its 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K as updated and superseded by the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 6, 2016, and as amended and updated from time to time. Any forward-looking statements in this presentation are made as of the date of this presentation and SMLP undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or events. All of the forward-looking statements made in this document are qualified by these cautionary statements, and Summit cannot assure you that actual results or developments that Summit anticipates will be realized or, even if substantially realized, will have the expected consequences to, or effect on, Summit or its business or operations. Although the expectations in the forward-looking statements are based on Summit’s current beliefs and expectations, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date hereof. Summit expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Furthermore, the “forward-looking” statements reflect various assumptions by Summit concerning anticipated results, which assumptions may or may not prove to be correct. Neither Summit nor any of its affiliates has undertaken any independent investigation or evaluation of such assumptions to determine their reasonableness.

ECP Defines a Supportive Sponsor More Capital Committed Today Since December 2015, ECP has implemented a $100MM open market unit purchase program Willing to invest more to support SMLP growth objectives and other strategic initiatives Four Drop Downs at Attractive Valuations Four drop down transactions since SMLP IPO in 2012 Assets dropped at EBITDA multiples ranging from 6.5x – 9.3x GP assumed development and financing risk, enabling SMLP to participate in growth that it would not have been able to pursue independently “Fund II” 2010 Vintage Reviewing ECP’s Track Record of Support Flexibility in Consideration Mix Transactions have been structured with a mix of cash and equity consideration to maximize value to SMLP In conjunction with the first drop down in 2Q 2013, the GP took back $50MM of equity consideration, at-the-market In conjunction with the 2013 acquisition of Mountaineer Midstream, the GP invested $100MM of equity, at-the-market During 1Q 2016, the GP dropped down all operating assets to SMLP, pursuant to a long-dated Deferred Payment structure Capital Markets Support IPO proceeds primarily used to reduce SMLP’s debt to provide leverage capacity, enabling SMLP to pursue organic development and drop downs Willing to take back additional units for the Deferred Payment in 2020

II. 2016 Drop Down Review

GRAPHIC

 


Market Perception vs. Reality Summit Investments’ ownership of approximately 30 million SMLP units and 100% of the IDRs provides ECP with a powerful economic incentive to drop down assets from Summit Investments to SMLP on an accretive basis to facilitate future distribution growth. Our goal is to structure drop downs in a manner that eliminates the equity capital market risk in 2016 for SMLP, strengthens growth and coverage of SMLP and improves the long term credit profile of the partnership. - Summit Investments Press Release, December 11, 2015 What We Said – December 2015 What We Did – February 2016 Market Perception of SMLP in 2H ’15 investor response puts downward pressure on SMLP unit price. 1. ORPHAN RISK Prevailing fear among investors that ECP’s strategic review would result in the sale of Utica assets to a Third Party, leaving SMLP without a growth catalyst 2. CAPITAL MARKETS RISK Even if Utica assets aren’t sold to a Third Party, the capital markets are unavailable or equity prices unattractive to drop down assets on an accretive basis 3. DISTRIBUTION RISK Distribution coverage ratio of 0.85x in 3Q 2015 together with weakening commodity prices leads to concern that distribution may be cut

Transformational Drop Down Positions SMLP for Future Growth Further Diversifies Business Expands operating footprint into the Utica and DJ while enhancing Williston presence Adds additional high quality customers Diversifies overall customer exposure and reduces individual producer risk profile Utica assets situate SMLP in the core of one of the largest and most prospective natural gas plays in the United States Assets dropped to SMLP in February 2016 - at the low point in the recent commodity cycle Positions SMLP to capitalize on a recovery in commodity prices through new organic and acquisition growth opportunities Offers Significant Growth Opportunities Highly attractive valuation and structural protections demonstrate ECP’s commitment to SMLP As the largest single owner of SMLP, the GP is highly incentivized to “make SMLP work” Structure and enhanced economic alignment alleviates the Street’s prior concerns regarding orphan risk and ECP’s commitment to SMLP Illustrates ECP’s Continued Support of SMLP Structure allows SMLP to avoid accessing the public debt and equity capital markets Increases scale and improves distribution coverage with 2016 YTD distribution coverage of 1.27x Transaction allowed SMLP to increase its liquidity revolver position to more than $500 million and enhance its credit profile in a challenging macro environment Strengthens Capital Position Compelling valuation with consideration for Drop Down Assets based on a 6.5x multiple of average LTM EBITDA actually generated during 2018 and 2019 Estimated $1.1 billion total net investment represents a book value multiple of ~1.0x Structure offers substantial downside protection to SMLP with development and asset performance risk retained by the GP Highly Attractive Valuation and Structure to SMLP

Financing the Deferred Payment The 2016 Drop Down structure allows SMLP to “pick its spots” to finance the Deferred Payment Ability to opportunistically access the debt and equity capital markets with proceeds used to prepare the balance sheet for the Deferred Payment in 2020 SMLP intends to structure the consideration mix of debt and equity to target the following pro forma metrics: 4.0x leverage 1.10x – 1.20x distribution coverage While the Deferred Payment structure reduces SMLP’s financing risk, by providing additional time and optionality to pre-fund, it does not eliminate the risk entirely The financing and capital markets risks are further mitigated given that the Deferred Payment may include equity issued directly to the GP for up to 100% of the consideration
