At the Effective Time, the General Partner adopted the Tenth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of ENLK (the “Amended Partnership Agreement”). The Amended Partnership Agreement reflects, among other things, (i)the elimination of the incentive distribution rights previously held by the General Partner, (ii)certain modifications to the terms of the ENLK SeriesB Units, as described below, which prior to the Effective Time were convertible into ENLK Common Units, and (iii)other miscellaneous revisions, including the removal of certain provisions that are no longer applicable as a result of the consummation of the Merger. The Amended Partnership Agreement provides, among other things, that the ENLK SeriesB Units will be exchangeable, in the circumstances described below, for a number of ENLC Common Units equal to the product of the number of ENLK SeriesB Units being exchanged multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (subject to certain adjustments) (the “SeriesB Exchange Ratio” and such resulting number of ENLC Common Units, the “SeriesB Exchange Amount”), subject to ENLK’s redemption election described below. The ENLK SeriesB Units are exchangeable into ENLC Common Units at the SeriesB Exchange Ratio, (a)in full, at ENLK’s option, if the daily volume-weighted average closing trading price of the ENLC Common Units (the “Exchange VWAP”) over the 30-trading day period ending two trading days prior to ENLK’s delivery of the exchange notice is greater than the quotient of 150% of the $15.00 issue price of the ENLK SeriesB Units (the “Issue Price”) divided by the Exchange Ratio or (b)in full or in part, at Enfield’s option.

In addition, upon (i)certain events involving a change of control of the General Partner or the Manager or (ii)any transaction resulting in GIP, GIP III Stetson II, L.P., or any of their respective subsidiaries, becoming the beneficial owner of 75% or more of the outstanding ENLC Common Units (in either case, a “Change of Control”), all of the ENLK SeriesB Units will automatically be exchanged, subject to ENLK’s redemption election described below, into a number of ENLC Common Units equal to the greater of (a)the SeriesB Exchange Amount, and (b)the number of ENLK SeriesB Units to be exchanged multiplied by the quotient of (x)an amount equal to the quotient of (A)140% of the Issue Price divided by (B)the Exchange Ratio, divided by (y)the Exchange VWAP over the 30-trading day period ending two trading days prior to such exchange (such resulting number of ENLC Common Units, the “SeriesB Change of Control Amount”).

In lieu of an exchange of ENLK SeriesB Units for ENLC Common Units, at ENLK’s sole election, it is entitled to instead redeem for cash the applicable ENLK SeriesB Units by paying an amount equal to (i)in the event of an optional exchange by ENLK or Enfield, the product of (a)the SeriesB Exchange Amount multiplied by (b)the Exchange VWAP over the 10-trading day period ending two trading days prior to the notice of exchange by ENLK or Enfield, as applicable, and (ii)in the event of a Change of Control, the product of (x)the Series

B Change of Control Amount and (y)the Exchange VWAP over the 10-trading day period ending two trading days prior to the date of such redemption.

Beginning with the quarter ending March31, 2019, the holder of the ENLK SeriesB Units will be entitled to quarterly cash distributions and distributions in-kind of additional ENLK SeriesB Units as described below. The quarterly in-kind distribution (the “SeriesB PIK Distribution”) will equal the greater of (A)0.0025 ENLK SeriesB Units per ENLK SeriesB Unit and (B)the number of ENLK SeriesB Units equal to the quotient of (x)the excess (if any) of (1)the distribution that would have been payable by ENLC had the ENLK SeriesB Units been exchanged for ENLC Common Units but applying a one-to-one exchange ratio (subject to certain adjustments) instead of the SeriesB Exchange Ratio, over (2)an amount equal to $0.28125 per ENLK SeriesB Unit (the “Cash Distribution Component”), divided by (y)the Issue Price. The quarterly cash distribution will consist of the Cash Distribution Component plus an amount in cash that will be determined based on a comparison of the value (applying the Issue Price) of (i)the SeriesB PIK Distribution and (ii)the ENLK SeriesB Units that would have been distributed in the SeriesB PIK Distribution if such calculation applied the SeriesB Exchange Ratio instead of the one-to-one ratio (subject to certain adjustments). As described above, for each additional ENLK SeriesB Unit issued by ENLK to the Amended Partnership Agreement, ENLC will issue an additional ClassC Common Unit to the applicable holder of such ENLK SeriesB Unit to the Amended Operating Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Amended Partnership Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full textof the Amended Partnership Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report as Exhibit3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
