Ms. Cepak will serve as an independent director. As an independent director,

incurred in connection with service on the Manager Board. Ms. Cepak will serve
on the Audit Committee and on the Conflicts Committee of the Manager Board.
Ms. Cepak most recently served as the Chief Financial Officer of Energy XXI Gulf

University of Illinois and an MBA from Tulane University. Ms. Cepak was selected
to serve as a director due to, among other factors, her extensive experience in

Indemnification Agreement
ENLC has a practice of entering into indemnification agreements (the
"Indemnification Agreements") with each of the Manager's directors and executive
officers (collectively, the "Indemnitees"). In connection with her appointment
to the Manager Board, ENLC entered into an Indemnification Agreement with
Ms. Cepak. Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreements, ENLC has agreed to
indemnify and hold the Indemnitee harmless, subject to certain conditions, from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines,
taxes (including ERISA excise taxes), penalties (whether civil, criminal, or
other), interest, assessments, amounts paid or payable in settlements, or other
amounts and any and all "expenses" (as defined in the Indemnification
Agreements) arising from any and all threatened, pending, or completed claims,
demands, actions, suits, proceedings, or alternative dispute mechanisms, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, investigative, or otherwise,
whether made pursuant to federal, state, or local law, whether formal or
informal, and including appeals (each, a "proceeding"), in each case, in which
the Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party, a
witness, or otherwise, including any inquiries, hearings, or investigations that
the Indemnitee determines might lead to the institution of any proceeding,
related to the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director, manager, or
officer of ENLC or the Manager, or is or was serving at the request of ENLC or
the Manager, each as applicable, as a manager, managing member, general partner,
director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, or agent of any other entity,
organization, or person of any nature. ENLC has also agreed to advance the
expenses of an Indemnitee relating to the foregoing. To the extent that a change
in the laws of the State of Delaware permits greater indemnification under any
statute, agreement, organizational document, or governing document than would be
afforded under the Indemnification Agreements as of the date of the
Indemnification Agreements, the Indemnitee shall enjoy the greater benefits so
afforded by such change.
