Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Regulation FD Disclosure,


Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Agreement.

On September 10, 2008, DCP Midstream Partners, LP (the "Partnership") entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the "Purchase Agreement") with Ganesh Energy, LLC ("Ganesh") and Gas Processing & Pipeline, LLC ("GPP"; Ganesh and GPP together called "Seller"). Under the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Partnership will acquire from Seller all of the membership interests (the "Membership Interests") of Michigan Pipeline & Processing, LLC, that owns and operates certain natural gas gathering, treating, and pipeline assets in Michigan (the "Assets").

The Partnership will pay Seller a purchase price of $145 million in cash for the Membership Interests, subject to certain customary post-closing purchase price adjustments (the "Acquisition"). In addition, the Partnership and Seller have entered into a separate Contingent Payment Agreement that becomes effective at closing and provides for a potential payment by the Partnership to Seller of up to an additional $15 million depending upon the amount of earnings generated by the Assets after a three year period. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Acquisition is expected to close in October 2008, subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including, among others the termination of any applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The Partnership intends to pay for the Assets with debt.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Partnership and an affiliate of Seller have also entered into a separate Natural Gas Treating Agreement that provides Seller's affiliate with available treating capacity on certain of the Assets. This agreement becomes effective at closing and provides for Seller's affiliate to pay the Partnership up to $1.5 million annually for up to nine years for this service; however, this agreement may be terminated earlier if certain performance criteria concerning the Assets are satisfied. The payment obligation under this agreement is supported by a letter of credit from the Seller and its affiliates.
