NOTICE OF UNITHOLDER ACTION
BY WRITTEN CONSENT

We Are Not Asking You for a Proxy and
You are Requested Not to Send Us a Proxy

To the Unitholders of EnLink Midstream, LLC:

          This notice (this "Notice") and the accompanying information statement (the "Information Statement") are being furnished to the unitholders of EnLink Midstream, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company"), to notify unitholders of the approval by written consent of GIP III Stetson II, L.P. ("GIP Stetson II"), as the holder (the "Consenting Majority Unitholder") of a majority of the outstanding common units representing limited liability company interests in the Company (the "common units") of an increase in the number of common units (the "Unit Increase") authorized for issuance under the EnLink Midstream, LLC 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Current Plan"), together with an amendment and restatement of the Current Plan to effect such Unit Increase (the Current Plan, as so amended and restated, the "Amended Company Plan"). The Amended Company Plan permits the grant of cash and equity-based awards, which may be awarded in the form of options, restricted unit awards, restricted incentive units, unit appreciation rights, distribution equivalent rights, unit awards, cash awards, and performance awards to the employees, consultants, and independent contractors of the Company and its affiliates, as well as outside directors serving on the Board of Directors (the "Board") of EnLink Midstream Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the managing member of the Company (the "Managing Member").

          The Company was formed in October 2013. On July 18, 2018, subsidiaries of Devon Energy Corporation ("Devon") closed a transaction to sell all of their equity interests in the Company, EnLink Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), and the Managing Member to GIP III Stetson I, L.P. ("GIP Stetson I" and, together with GIP Stetson II, "GIP Stetson") and GIP Stetson II. As a result of the transaction (the "GIP Transaction"), GIP Stetson II acquired all of the equity interests held by subsidiaries of Devon in the Company, which amount to approximately 63.7% of our common units as of December 20, 2018, and GIP Stetson I acquired all of the equity interests held by subsidiaries of Devon in the Partnership and the Managing Member, which amount to 100% of the outstanding limited liability company interests in the Managing Member and approximately 23.0% of the outstanding limited partner interests in the Partnership as of December 20, 2018. Through this transaction, GIP Stetson acquired control of the Company, the Managing Member, and the Partnership, as a result of our indirect ownership of EnLink Midstream GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner").

          On October 21, 2018, the Company, the Managing Member, NOLA Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), the Partnership, and the General Partner, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving as a subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger" and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Transactions"). The Merger is expected to close in late January 2019, subject to such conditions. At the effective time of the Merger, the Company will assume all obligations under the EnLink Midstream GP, LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Partnership Plan") and awards with respect to common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership ("Partnership Common Units") outstanding under the Partnership Plan immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be automatically converted into the right to receive a comparable award with respect to common units of the Company under the Amended Company Plan (the "Award Rollover"). In addition, future grants of equity awards that remain eligible to be issued under the Partnership Plan in respect of Partnership Common Units immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be made under the Amended Company Plan in respect of common units of the Company following the Merger (the "Remaining Available Units Conversion"). Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Amended Company Plan will be further amended and restated to give effect to the Transactions, including the Award Rollover and the Remaining Available Units Conversion, as described in the Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on December 10, 2018 (collectively, the "Transaction Amendments").

          You do not need to do anything in response to this Notice and the Information Statement. The Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan were approved by the Board on December 13, 2018, subject to the requisite unitholder approval as required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Although approval by the unitholders of the Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan is also required by the rules of The New York Stock Exchange, we are not soliciting your vote because, on December 30, 2018, the Consenting Majority Unitholder approved the Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan by written consent without a meeting of the Non-Managing Members of the Company. Such action by written consent is sufficient to approve and adopt the Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan without the affirmative vote of any other unitholders. Accordingly, no other votes are necessary to approve the Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan, and your approval is neither required nor requested.

          This Notice and the Information Statement shall constitute the notice required by our First Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (the "Operating Agreement") and the rules of the Commission. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Notice or the Information Statement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Operating Agreement.

          THIS IS NOT NOTICE OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE NON-MANAGING MEMBERS OF THE COMPANY AND NO SPECIAL MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN.

          If you have any questions, please contact our Legal Department at (214) 953-9500.

Sincerely,

INFORMATION STATEMENT

We Are Not Asking You for a Proxy and
You are Requested Not to Send Us a Proxy

GENERAL

        This information statement (this "Information Statement") is being furnished to the unitholders of EnLink Midstream, LLC (the "Company") of record as of the close of business on December 30, 2018 (the "Record Date") to provide information about the approval by written consent of GIP III Stetson II, L.P. ("GIP Stetson II"), as the holder (the "Consenting Majority Unitholder") of a majority of the outstanding common units representing limited liability company interests in the Company (the "common units") of an increase in the number of common units (the "Unit Increase") authorized for issuance under the EnLink Midstream, LLC 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Current Plan"), together with an amendment and restatement of the Current Plan to effect such Unit Increase (the Current Plan, as so amended and restated, the "Amended Company Plan"). The Amended Company Plan permits the grant of cash and equity-based awards, which may be awarded in the form of options, restricted unit awards, restricted incentive units, unit appreciation rights, distribution equivalent rights, unit awards, cash awards, and performance awards to the employees, consultants, and independent contractors of the Company and its affiliates, as well as outside directors serving on the Board of Directors (the "Board") of EnLink Midstream Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our managing member (the "Managing Member").

        The Company was formed in October 2013. On July 18, 2018, subsidiaries of Devon Energy Corporation ("Devon") closed a transaction to sell all of their equity interests in the Company, EnLink Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), and the Managing Member to GIP III Stetson I, L.P. ("GIP Stetson I" and, together with GIP Stetson II, "GIP Stetson") and GIP Stetson II. As a result of the transaction (the "GIP Transaction"), GIP Stetson II acquired all of the equity interests held by subsidiaries of Devon in the Company, which amount to approximately 63.7% of our common units as of December 20, 2018, and GIP Stetson I acquired all of the equity interests held by subsidiaries of Devon in the Partnership and the Managing Member, which amount to 100% of the outstanding limited liability company interests in the Managing Member and approximately 23.0% of the outstanding limited partner interests in the Partnership as of December 20, 2018. Through this transaction, GIP Stetson acquired control of the Company, the Managing Member, and the Partnership, as a result of our indirect ownership of EnLink Midstream GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner").

        On October 21, 2018, the Company, the Managing Member, NOLA Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), the Partnership, and the General Partner, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving as a subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger" and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Transactions"). The Merger is expected to close in late January 2019, subject to such conditions. At the effective time of the Merger, the Company will assume all obligations under the EnLink Midstream GP, LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Partnership Plan") and awards with respect to common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership ("Partnership Common Units") outstanding under the Partnership Plan immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be automatically converted into the right to receive a comparable award with respect to common units of the Company under the Amended Company Plan (the "Award Rollover"). In addition, future grants of equity awards that remain eligible to be issued under the Partnership Plan in respect of Partnership Common Units immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be


Table of Contents

made under the Amended Company Plan in respect of common units of the Company following the Merger (the "Remaining Available Units Conversion"). Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Amended Company Plan will be further amended and restated to give effect to the Transactions, including the Award Rollover and the Remaining Available Units Conversion, as described in the Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on December 10, 2018 (collectively, the "Transaction Amendments").

        We are not soliciting your approval of the Unit Increase or the Amended Company Plan. The Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan were approved by the Board on December 13, 2018, subject to the requisite unitholder approval as required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"). Although approval by unitholders of the Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan is also required by the rules of the NYSE, we are not soliciting your vote because, on December 30, 2018, the Consenting Majority Unitholder approved the Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan by written consent without a meeting of the Non-Managing Members of the Company. Pursuant to Section 13.11 of our First Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (the "Operating Agreement"), any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Non-Managing Members may be taken without a meeting, without a vote and without prior notice, if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Non-Managing Members owning not less than the minimum percentage of the outstanding common units that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Non-Managing Members entitled to vote at such meeting were present and voted. As of the Record Date, the Company had 181,306,335 common units outstanding and entitled to vote, and each unit is entitled to one vote. As of the Record Date, the Consenting Majority Unitholder held 115,495,669 common units, or approximately 63.7% of the common units outstanding. Delaware law does not afford any unitholder the opportunity to dissent from the action described in this Information Statement.

        The Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan will become effective on the date that is 20 calendar days after the date this Information Statement is first sent or given to our unitholders. This Information Statement will be first sent or given to our unitholders on December 31, 2018. Therefore, the Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan will become effective on January 20, 2019. A copy of the Amended Company Plan is attached hereto as Annex A. Please read this Information Statement carefully and in its entirety as it contains important information.

        In this Information Statement, unless the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to EnLink Midstream, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our principal executive offices are located at 1722 Routh Street, Suite 1300, Dallas, Texas 75201, and our telephone number is (214) 953-9500.

ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED COMPANY PLAN

        On December 13, 2018, the Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan were approved by the Board, subject to the requisite unitholder approval as required by the rules of the NYSE. The Amended Company Plan permits the grant of cash and equity-based awards, which may be awarded in the form of options, restricted unit awards, restricted incentive units, unit appreciation rights, distribution equivalent rights, unit awards, cash awards, and performance awards to the employees, consultants, and independent contractors of the Company and its affiliates, as well as outside directors serving on the Board. The Amended Company Plan will increase the number of common units authorized for issuance from 11,000,000 common units to 17,700,000 common units. The Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan were approved by the Consenting Majority Unitholder on December 30, 2018. Notwithstanding the execution and delivery of the written consent by the Consenting Majority Unitholder, under applicable securities regulations, the Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan will not become effective until the date that is 20 calendar days after the date this Information Statement is first sent or given to our unitholders, which will occur on December 31, 2018. Therefore, the Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan will become effective on January 20, 2019. Following such effectiveness, we intend to file a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on Form S-8 to register the common units authorized to be granted under the Amended Company Plan that were not registered in connection with the Current Plan.

        The following description of the Amended Company Plan is not complete and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Amended Company Plan, which is attached to this Information Statement as Annex A.

Summary of the Amended Company Plan

        Employees, non-employee directors, and other individuals who provide services to us or our affiliates may be eligible to receive awards under the Amended Company Plan. The Amended Company Plan permits the grant of cash and equity-based awards, which may be awarded in the form of options, restricted unit awards, restricted incentive units, unit appreciation rights ("UARs"), distribution equivalent rights ("DERs"), unit awards, cash awards and performance awards.

        On December 30, 2018, the Consenting Majority Unitholder approved the Amended Company Plan, which increases the number of our common units authorized for issuance under the Current Plan by 6,700,000 common units to an aggregate of 17,700,000 common units (without giving effect to the Transaction Amendments, including the Award Rollover and the Remaining Available Units Conversion) and makes certain other technical amendments. Common units subject to an award under the Amended Company Plan that are canceled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash, or otherwise terminated, including withheld to satisfy exercise prices or tax withholding obligations, will again become available for delivery pursuant to other awards under the Amended Company Plan. Of the 17,700,000 common units that may be awarded under the Amended Company Plan, 13,425,275 remain eligible for future grants as of December 27, 2018, assuming that the Unit Increase and the Amended Company Plan become effective. The aggregate market value of the available common units as of December 27, 2018 was approximately $127.3 million. The long-term compensation structure is intended to align the employee's performance with long-term performance for our unitholders.

        In general, the Amended Company Plan is administered by the Governance and Compensation Committee of the Board. With respect to application of the Amended Company Plan to non-employee directors, the Amended Company Plan is administered by the Board. The Governance and Compensation Committee generally has the sole discretion to determine which eligible individuals receive awards under the Amended Company Plan, subject to the review of the Board of awards to

Table of Contents

certain of our executive officers, and the Board has such discretion with respect to which eligible non-employee directors receive awards under the Amended Company Plan.

        The Amended Company Plan will automatically expire on December 30, 2028. The Board may amend or terminate the Amended Company Plan at any time, subject to any requirement of unitholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation. The Governance and Compensation Committee may generally amend the terms of any outstanding award under the Amended Company Plan at any time. However, no such amendment or termination may be effected by the Board or the Governance and Compensation Committee under the Amended Company Plan that would materially and adversely affect the rights of a participant under a previously granted award without the participant's consent.

        The following forms of awards may be awarded under the Amended Company Plan:

Table of Contents

        Upon a change of control of the Company, the Partnership, or the General Partner and except as provided in the award agreement, the Governance and Compensation Committee may cause unit options and UAR grants to be vested, may cause change of control consideration to be paid in respect of some or all of such awards, or may make other adjustments (if any) that it deems appropriate with respect to such awards. With respect to other awards, upon a change of control of the Company and except as provided in the award agreement, the Governance and Compensation Committee may cause

Table of Contents

such awards to be adjusted, which adjustments may relate to the vesting, settlement or the other terms of such awards.

        Approximately 370 employees of the Managing Member and its affiliates are currently eligible to participate in the Amended Company Plan, as well as the "outside directors" (as defined in the Amended Company Plan) serving on the Board.


EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        We do not directly employ any of the persons responsible for managing our business. The Managing Member manages our operations and activities, and its Board and officers make decisions on our behalf. The compensation of the named executive officers and directors of the Managing Member is determined by the Board upon the recommendation of its Governance and Compensation Committee. Our named executive officers also serve as named executive officers of the General Partner. Therefore, the compensation of the named executive officers discussed below reflects total compensation for services with respect to us and all our subsidiaries. We pay or reimburse all expenses incurred on our behalf, including the costs of employee, officer, and director compensation and benefits, as well as all other expenses necessary or appropriate to the conduct of our business. We currently pay a monthly fee to the General Partner to cover our portion of administrative and compensation costs, including compensation costs relating to the named executive officers.

        Based on the information that we track regarding the amount of time spent by each of our named executive officers on business matters relating to the Company, we estimate that such officers devoted the following percentage of their time to the business of the Partnership and to the Company, respectively, for 2017:

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Philosophy and Principles

        Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified executives and align their individual interests with the interests of our unitholders. It is the Governance and Compensation Committee's responsibility to design and administer compensation programs that achieve these goals, and to make recommendations to the Board to approve and adopt these programs. The compensation of each of our executives is primarily comprised of base salary, annual bonus, and equity-based awards under our long-term incentive plans. The Governance and Compensation Committee's philosophy is to generally target the 50th percentile of our Peer Group (discussed below) for base salary and bonus (but retain discretion to reduce or increase bonus amounts to address individual performance) and to provide executives the opportunity to earn long-term incentive compensation, in the form of equity, targeted at the 75th percentile of our Peer Group.

        The Governance and Compensation Committee considers the following principles in determining the total compensation of the named executive officers:

Compensation Methodology

        Annually, the Governance and Compensation Committee reviews our executive compensation program and each individual element of compensation. The review includes an analysis of the compensation practices of other companies in our industry, the competitive market for executive talent, the evolving demands of the business, specific challenges that we may face and individual contributions to us and the Managing Member. The Governance and Compensation Committee recommends to the Board adjustments to the compensation program and to each individual element as determined necessary to achieve our goals. The Governance and Compensation Committee retains compensation consultants to assist in its review and to provide input regarding the compensation program and each individual element.

Role of Compensation Consultant

        The Governance and Compensation Committee has retained Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC ("Meridian") as its independent compensation consultant to conduct a compensation review and advise the Governance and Compensation Committee on certain matters relating to compensation programs applicable to the named executive officers and other employees of the General Partner. In particular, Meridian has assisted the Governance and Compensation Committee's decision-making with respect to named executive officers and director compensation matters, including providing advice on our executive pay philosophy, compensation peer group, incentive plan design, and employment agreement design, providing competitive market studies, and informing the Governance

Table of Contents

and Compensation Committee about emerging best practices and changes in the regulatory and governance environment. Meridian provided information to the Governance and Compensation Committee regarding the compensation programs of the Company and the Partnership for 2017. Meridian's work for the Governance and Compensation Committee did not raise any conflicts of interest in 2017.

Role of Peer Group and Benchmarking

        For 2017, the Governance and Compensation Committee and Meridian collaborated to identify the following companies as our peer companies: Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, L.P., Buckeye Partners, L.P., Enable Midstream Partners, LP, Enbridge Inc., Genesis Energy, L.P., HollyFrontier Corp., Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P., ONEOK Partners, L.P., Pembina Pipeline Corp., Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., Spectra Energy Corp., Sunoco Logistics Partners, L.P., Targa Resources Corp., and Western Gas Partners, L.P. (the "Peer Group"). We believe the Peer Group is representative of the industry in which we operate. The individual companies were chosen based on a number of factors, including each company's relative size/market capitalization, relative complexity of its business, similar organizational structure, competition for similar executive talent, and the roles and responsibilities of its named executive officers. The Governance and Compensation Committee considers the Peer Group companies annually, and historically there have been few changes from year to year. Companies are typically added or removed from the Peer Group as the result of a change in organizational structure or relative size/market capitalization as compared to us.

        When evaluating annual compensation levels for each named executive officer, the Governance and Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Meridian, reviews compensation surveys and publicly available compensation data for executives in our Peer Group, including data on base salaries, annual bonuses, and long-term equity incentive awards. The Governance and Compensation Committee then uses that information to determine individual elements of compensation for the named executive officers in the context of their roles, levels of responsibility, accountability, and decision-making authority within our organization and in the context of company size relative to the other Peer Group members. In addition, Meridian has provided guidance on current industry trends and best practices to the Governance and Compensation Committee relating to all aspects of executive compensation.

        While compensation surveys and Peer Group data are considered, the Governance and Compensation Committee does not attempt to set compensation elements to meet specific benchmarks. Accordingly, other subjective factors are also considered in setting compensation elements, including, but not limited to, (i) effort and accomplishment on a group and individual basis, (ii) challenges faced and challenges overcome, (iii) unique skills, (iv) contribution to the management team, (v) succession planning and retention of our executive officers, and (vi) the perception of both the Board and the Governance and Compensation Committee of our performance relative to expectations and actual market/business conditions.

Elements of Compensation

        For fiscal year 2017, the principal elements of compensation for the named executive officers were the following:

8


Table of Contents

        The Governance and Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations regarding the mix of compensation, both among short- and long-term compensation and cash and non-cash compensation, to establish structures that it believes are appropriate for each of the named executive officers. We believe that the mix of base salary, annual bonus awards, long-term incentive plan equity awards, retirement and health benefits, severance and change of control benefits and perquisites and other compensation fit our overall compensation objectives. We believe this mix of compensation provides opportunities to align and drive performance of our named executive officers in support of our strategic objectives and to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified talent with the skills and competencies that we require.

        Base Salary.    The Governance and Compensation Committee recommends base salaries for the named executive officers based on the historical salaries for services rendered to us and our affiliates, Peer Group data provided by Meridian, compensation surveys and performance and responsibilities of the named executive officers. The base salaries paid to our named executive officers for fiscal year 2017 (and payable for fiscal 2018) are as follows:

 
  Prior Salary   Base Salary
Effective
For 2018

        Bonus Awards.    On March 3, 2017, the Board and the board of directors of the General Partner (the "GP Board") approved various modifications to our short-term incentive program (as modified, the "STI Program") based on recommendations from the Compensation Committee of the Partnership (the "GP Compensation Committee") and the Governance and Compensation Committee. The Board and the GP Board (collectively, the "Boards") along with the GP Compensation Committee and the Governance and Compensation Committee (collectively, the "EnLink Compensation Committees") oversee the STI Program. All employees, including named executive officers of the Company and the Partnership, are eligible to receive annual bonuses under the STI Program. Bonuses awarded to employees and named executive officers under the STI Program are based on the achievement of certain metrics established to measure our success and are subject to the discretion of the Boards and the EnLink Compensation Committees.

Table of Contents

        The metrics employed by the STI Program contemplate that bonuses may be earned based primarily upon the achievement of certain core goals (collectively, the "Primary Bonus Components"), which may change from year-to-year. As reflected in the table below, a separate weighting is applied for each of the Primary Bonus Components. The Primary Bonus Components for 2017 and associated information are as follows:

        Each year, performance under the Primary Bonus Components will be measured, as applicable, on an interpolated "threshold/target/maximum" or "does-not-meet/meets/exceeds" basis. Each year, a range of bonus pool values for the STI Program will be established to account for various levels of performance under the Primary Bonus Components, as applied on a weighted average basis. These bonus pool values are a framework, and are subject to the application of the discretion of the Boards and the EnLink Compensation Committees, to determine the bonus amounts that are ultimately payable under the STI Program, including to our named executive officers, as further described below.

        The EnLink Compensation Committees and the Boards, with input from management, set the annual weightings for each Primary Bonus Component and any additional weightings that apply with respect to the features comprising a particular Primary Bonus Component. In addition, the EnLink Compensation Committees and the Boards, with input from management, set, as applicable, the "threshold/target/maximum" and the "does-not-meet/meets/exceeds" standards that apply to the Primary Bonus Components. These standards are based on a number of considerations, including, but not limited to, reasonable market expectations, internal company forecasts, available growth opportunities, company performance, leading indicators, and industry standards.

        The Boards, based on recommendations of the EnLink Compensation Committees, initially establish the target bonus awards that may be earned and ultimately determine the final bonus amounts, if any, that are payable under the STI Program for our named executive officers. Initial bonus award amounts for consideration by the EnLink Compensation Committees and the Boards for the named executive officers will be established by multiplying (x) the relevant named executive officer's target bonus percentage by (y) the relevant named executive officer's base salary (subject to certain adjustments to account for, among other things, mid-year changes in base salary or a mid-year hiring or termination) by (z) an achievement percentage for the relevant year.

        The EnLink Compensation Committees believe that a portion of executive compensation for named executive officers must remain discretionary. Therefore, the STI Program contemplates that the EnLink Compensation Committees and the Boards retain discretion with respect to target bonus awards and the final bonus amounts for named executive officers. In this regard, the EnLink Compensation Committees may exercise such discretion to recommend to the Boards a reduction or increase of the target bonus or the final bonus amounts for a particular named executive officer to reward or address extraordinary individual performance, challenges, and opportunities not reasonably

foreseeable at the beginning of a performance period, internal equities, and external competition or opportunities.

        The final amount of bonus for each named executive officer was approved by the Boards based upon the EnLink Compensation Committees' recommendation and assessment of whether such officer met his or her performance objectives established at the beginning of the performance period. These performance objectives included the quality of leadership within the named executive officer's assigned area of responsibility, the achievement of technical and professional proficiencies by the named executive officer, the execution of identified priority objectives by the named executive officer, and the named executive officer's contribution to, and enhancement of, the desired company culture. These performance objectives were reviewed and evaluated by the EnLink Compensation Committees as a whole. All named executive officers met or exceeded their minimum personal performance objectives for 2017. Accordingly, the EnLink Compensation Committees and the Boards awarded bonuses to the named executive officers as follows:

In August 2018, the Board appointed Mr. Lamb to Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Prior to August 2018, Mr. Lamb served as Executive Vice President, North Texas and Oklahoma.

        Target adjusted EBITDA was based upon a standard of reasonable market expectations and our performance and varies from year to year. For 2017, our adjusted EBITDA levels for bonuses were $818.0 million for minimum threshold bonuses, $875.0 million for target bonuses and $945.0 million for maximum bonuses. For 2017, the STI Program provided for named executive officers to receive bonus payouts of 45% to 62.5% of base salary at the minimum threshold, 90% to 125% of base salary at the target level and 180% to 250% of base salary at the maximum level.

        Long-Term Incentive Plans.    Our named executive officers and outside directors are eligible to participate in the EnLink Midstream GP, LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "GP Plan") and the Current Plan, and will be eligible to participate in the Amended Company Plan. Finally, certain directors, officers, and employees participate, to the extent consistent with terms and agreed in connection with the Business Combination (as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the "2017 10-K")), in the EnLink Midstream, LLC 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan").

        The Board, upon the recommendation of the Governance and Compensation Committee, approves the grants of equity awards to our named executive officers. The Governance and Compensation Committee believes that equity awards should comprise a significant portion of a named executive officer's total compensation and considers a number of factors when determining the grants to each individual named executive officer. The factors considered include: the general goal of allowing the

11


Table of Contents

named executive officer the opportunity to earn aggregate equity compensation (comprised of our units and Company units) targeted at the 75th percentile of our Peer Group; the amount of unvested equity held by the individual named executive officer; the named executive officer's performance; and other factors as determined by the Governance and Compensation Committee.

        A discussion of each plan follows:

        Amended Company Plan.    See "Summary of the Amended Company Plan" above for a description of the Current Plan, which except as otherwise affected by the Unit Increase, includes the same provisions as are set forth in the Amended Company Plan.

        EnLink Midstream 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan.    The 2009 Plan provides for the award of options, restricted units, restricted incentive units, and other awards (collectively, "Awards"). As a result of the consummation of the Business Combination, however, it is anticipated that no future Awards will be granted under the 2009 Plan. The Governance and Compensation Committee administers the 2009 Plan and has the authority to grant waivers of the applicable plan terms, conditions, restrictions, and limitations. As of December 31, 2017, no common units were reserved for issuance pursuant to additional awards under the 2009 Plan. Only unexercised options are outstanding under the 2009 Plan.

        The Governance and Compensation Committee may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the 2009 Plan, except that no amendment that would impair the rights of any participant to any Award may be made without the consent of such participant, and no amendment requiring unitholder approval under any applicable legal requirements will be effective until such approval has been obtained.

        EnLink Midstream GP, LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan.    EnLink Midstream GP, LLC has adopted the GP Plan for employees, consultants, and independent contractors of EnLink Midstream GP, LLC and its affiliates and outside directors of the GP Board who perform services for the Partnership and us. The GP Plan is administered by the GP Compensation Committee and permits the grant of awards, which may be awarded in the form of restricted incentive units or options. On May 9, 2013, the Partnership's unitholders approved the amendment and restatement of the GP Plan, which increased the number of Partnership Common Units authorized for issuance under the GP Plan by 3,470,000 Partnership Common Units to an aggregate of 9,070,000 Partnership Common Units and made certain other technical amendments. Effective April 6, 2016, the Partnership's unitholders approved the amendment and restatement of the GP Plan, which increased the number of Partnership Common Units authorized for issuance under the GP Plan by 5,000,000 Partnership Common Units to an aggregate of 14,070,000 Partnership Common Units and other technical changes. Partnership Common Units subject to an award under the GP Plan that are forfeited or are otherwise terminated or canceled will again become available for delivery pursuant to other awards under the GP Plan. Of the 14,070,000 Partnership Common Units that may be awarded under the GP Plan, 3,420,180 Partnership Common Units remain eligible for future grants as of December 20, 2018. The long-term compensation structure of the GP Plan is intended to align the performance of participants with long-term performance for our unitholders.

        The GP Plan will automatically expire on March 3, 2026. The GP Board, in its discretion, may terminate or amend the GP Plan at any time with respect to any units for which a grant has not yet been made. The GP Board or GP Compensation Committee also has the right to alter or amend the GP Plan or any part of the GP Plan from time to time, including increasing the number of units that may be granted subject to the approval requirements of the exchange upon which the Partnership Common Units are listed at that time. The GP Compensation Committee may generally amend the terms of any outstanding award under the GP Plan at any time. However, no action may be taken by the GP Board or the GP Compensation Committee under the GP Plan that would materially reduce the benefits of a participant under a previously granted award without the participant's consent.

        The following forms of awards may be awarded under the GP Plan:

Table of Contents

        Performance Unit Awards.    Beginning in 2015, the Managing Member and the General Partner granted performance awards under the Current Plan and the GP Plan, respectively. The performance award agreements provide that the vesting of restricted incentive units granted under the GP Plan and the Current Plan is dependent on the achievement of certain total shareholder return ("TSR") performance goals relative to the TSR achievement of a peer group of companies (the "Peer Companies") over the applicable performance period. The performance award agreements contemplate that the Peer Companies for an individual performance award (the "Subject Award") are the companies comprising the Alerian MLP Index for Master Limited Partnerships ("AMZ"), excluding the Company and the Partnership, on the grant date for the Subject Award. The performance units will vest based on the percentile ranking of the average of our and the Partnership's TSR achievement ("EnLink TSR") for the applicable performance period relative to the TSR achievement of the Peer Companies.

        At the end of the vesting period, recipients receive distribution equivalents, if any, with respect to the number of performance units vested. The vesting of units ranges from 0% to 200% of the units granted depending on the EnLink TSR as compared to the Peer Companies on the vesting date. The fair value of each performance unit is estimated as of the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions used for all performance unit grants made under the plan: (i) a risk-free interest rate based on United States Treasury rates as of the grant date; (ii) a volatility assumption based on the historical realized price volatility of our common units and the designated Peer Companies securities; (iii) an estimated ranking of us among the designated Peer Companies, and (iv) the distribution yield. The fair value of the unit on the date of grant is expensed over a vesting period of approximately three years.

        The total value of the equity compensation granted to our executive officers generally has been awarded 50% in Partnership restricted incentive units and 50% in restricted incentive units of the Company for fiscal year 2017. In addition, our executive officers may receive additional grants of equity compensation in certain circumstances, such as promotions. For fiscal year 2017, the General Partner granted 48,544, 35,060, 32,362, 102,482 and 35,060 performance and restricted incentive units to Messrs. Garberding, Hummel, Lamb, Davis, and Hoppe, respectively. In addition, for fiscal year 2017, the Managing Member granted 45,226, 32,664, 30,150, 95,478 and 32,664 performance and restricted incentive units to Messrs. Garberding, Hummel, Lamb, Davis, and Hoppe, respectively. All performance and restricted incentive units that we grant are charged against earnings according to FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718—"Compensation—Stock Compensation" (FASB ASC 718).

        Retirement and Health Benefits.    All eligible employees are offered a variety of health and welfare and retirement programs. The named executive officers are generally eligible for the same programs on the same basis as other employees. The Partnership maintains a tax-qualified 401(k) retirement plan that provides eligible employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax deferred basis. In 2017, the Partnership matched 100% of every dollar contributed for contributions of up to 6% of salary made by eligible participants plus a 2% non-discretionary contribution (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law). The retirement benefits provided to the named executive officers were allocated to us as general and administration expenses.

        Perquisites.    We generally do not pay for perquisites for any of the named executive officers, other than payment of dues, sales tax, and related expenses for membership in an industry-related private lunch club (totaling less than $2,500 per year per named executive officer).

        All of our named executive officers and certain members of senior management have entered into amended change in control agreements (the "Change in Control Agreements") with EnLink Midstream

14


Table of Contents

Operating, LP (the "Operating Partnership") and amended severance agreements (the "Severance Agreements" and collectively with the Change in Control Agreements, the "Agreements") with the Operating Partnership. Additionally, as certain individuals become members of senior management, the individual may become a party to a change in control agreement and/or a severance agreement in substantially the same form as the applicable Agreement.

        The Agreements restrict the officers from competing with us, the Managing Member, the Operating Partnership, the Partnership, the General Partner and their respective affiliates and subsidiaries (the "Company Group") during the term of employment. The Agreements also restrict the officers from disclosing confidential information of the Company Group and disparaging any member of the Company Group, in each case, during or after the term of their employment. In addition, the Agreements restrict the officers, both during their employment and for varying periods following the termination of employment, from (i) soliciting other employees to terminate their employment with any member of the Company Group or accept employment with a third party and (ii) diverting the business of a client or customer of any member of the Company Group or attempting to convert a client or customer of any member of the Company Group. The Agreements provide the Operating Partnership with equitable remedies and with the right to clawback benefits if the restrictions described in this paragraph are breached by the officer. In the event of a termination, the terminated employee is required to execute a general release of the Company Group in order to receive any benefits under the Agreements.

        Under the Severance Agreements, if an officer's employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the Severance Agreement) or is terminated by the officer for good reason (as defined in the Severance Agreement), such officer will be entitled to receive (i) his or her accrued base salary up to the date of termination, (ii) any unpaid annual bonus with respect to the calendar year ending prior to the officer's termination date that has been earned as of such date, (iii) a prorated amount of the bonus (to the extent such bonus would have otherwise been earned by such officer) for the calendar year in which the termination occurs, (iv) such other fringe benefits (other than any bonus, severance pay benefit or medical insurance benefit) normally provided to employees that are already earned or accrued as of the date of termination (the foregoing items in clauses (i) - (iv) are referred to as the "General Benefits"), (v) certain outplacement services (the "Outplacement Benefits"), (vi) a lump sum severance equal to the sum of (A) the officer's then-current base salary and (B) any target bonus (as defined in the applicable Agreement) for the year that includes the date of termination (the "Severance Benefit") times two for the officer (other members of senior management are each entitled to one times the Severance Benefit), plus (vii) an amount equal to the cost to the officer to extend his or her then-current medical insurance benefits for 18 months following the effective date of the termination (the "Medical Severance Benefit").

        In connection with the GIP Transaction, certain outstanding performance unit agreements were modified to increase the minimum vesting of units from zero to 100% as described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on July 23, 2018, as part of a voluntary waiver by the holders of such performance units of the right to accelerated vesting as a result of the consummation of a change in control in connection with the GIP Transaction. The modified performance units retained the original vesting schedules.

        Under the Change in Control Agreements, if, within a period that begins 120 days prior to and ends 24 months following a change in control (as defined in the Change in Control Agreement), an officer's employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the Change in Control Agreement) or is terminated by the officer for good reason (as defined in the Change in Control Agreement), such officer will be entitled to the General Benefits, the Outplacement Benefits, the Medical Severance Benefit and the Severance Benefit; provided, however, that the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") would

15


Table of Contents

be entitled to three times the Severance Benefit, and the other officers would be entitled to two times the Severance Benefit. Other members of senior management do not receive an increase in the Severance Benefit if they are terminated in connection with a change in control.

        In addition, the Agreements provide for the General Benefits upon the officer's termination of employment due to his or her death or disability (as defined in the Agreements).

        The Agreements provide that an officer may only become entitled to payments under the Severance Agreement or the Change in Control Agreement, but not under both Agreements. Upon execution of a Severance Agreement, the Severance Agreement will continue in effect until (i) the first anniversary of the execution date; provided that the term will be automatically renewed for additional one-year periods beginning on the day following the first anniversary of the execution date (each, a "Renewal Date"), unless the GP Board or the GP Compensation Committee, as applicable, provides the officer with written notice (a "Non-Renewal Notice") of the Operating Partnership's election not to renew the term at least 30 days prior to any Renewal Date or (ii) the termination of the officer's employment; provided that an officer's employment may not be terminated by the Operating Partnership for any reason other than cause (as defined in the Severance Agreement) for the 90-day period that follows the termination of the Severance Agreement pursuant to a Non-Renewal Notice. Upon execution of a Change in Control Agreement, the Change in Control Agreement will continue in effect until (i) the applicable Renewal Date and be automatically renewed for additional one-year periods unless the GP Board or the GP Compensation Committee, as applicable, provides the officer with a Non-Renewal Notice at least 90 days prior to any Renewal Date or (ii) the termination of the officer's employment, except that a Change in Control Agreement may not be terminated for a period that begins 120 days prior to, and ends 24 months following, a change in control.

        If the payments and benefits provided to an officer under the Agreements (i) constitute a "parachute payment" as defined in Section 280G of the IRC and exceed three times the officer's "base amount" as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the IRC, and (ii) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the IRC, then the officer's payments and benefits will be either (A) paid in full, or (B) reduced and payable only as to the maximum amount that would result in no portion of the payments and benefits being subject to such excise tax, whichever results in the receipt by the officer on an after-tax basis of the greatest amount (taking into account the applicable federal, state, and local income taxes, the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the IRC and all other taxes, including any interest and penalties, payable by the officer).

        With respect to the long-term incentive plans, the amounts to be received by our named executive officers in the event of a change of control (as defined in the long-term incentive plans) will be automatically determined based on the number of units underlying any unvested equity incentive awards held by a named executive officer at the time of a change of control. The terms of the long-term incentive plans were determined based on past practice and the applicable compensation committee's understanding of similar plans utilized by public companies generally at the time we adopted such plans. The determination of the reasonable consequences of a change of control is periodically reviewed by the applicable compensation committee.

        Upon a change of control, and except as provided in the award agreement, the applicable compensation committee may cause options and UAR grants to be vested, may cause change of control consideration to be paid in respect of some or all of such awards, or may make other adjustments (if any) that it deems appropriate with respect to such awards. With respect to other awards, upon a change of control and except as provided in the award agreement, the applicable compensation committee may cause such awards to be adjusted, which adjustments may relate to the vesting, settlement or the other terms of such awards.

        The potential payments that may be made to the named executive officers upon a termination of their employment or in connection with a change of control as of December 31, 2017 are set forth in the table in the section below entitled "Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control."

Table of Contents

        The Board, upon recommendation of the Governance and Compensation Committee, determines the compensation payable to each of the named executive officers. None of the named executive officers serves as a member of the Governance and Compensation Committee. The CEO makes recommendations regarding the compensation of his leadership team with the Governance and Compensation Committee, including specific recommendations for each element of compensation for each of the named executive officers. The CEO does not make any recommendations regarding his personal compensation.

        We have structured the compensation program in a manner intended to be exempt from, or to comply with Section 409A of the IRC. If an executive is entitled to nonqualified deferred compensation benefits that are subject to Section 409A, and such benefits do not comply with Section 409A of the IRC, then the benefits are taxable in the first year they are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. In such case, the service provider is subject to regular federal income tax, interest and an additional federal excise tax of 20% of the benefit includible in income.

CEO Pay Ratio

        For fiscal year 2017, the annual total compensation for the then Chairman of our Board and CEO, Barry E. Davis, was $6.8 million and for the median employee was $111,319. The resulting ratio of annual total compensation of the CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee was 61:1. This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. As a result of our methodology for determining the pay ratio, which is described below, our pay ratio may not be comparable to the pay ratios of other companies in our industry or in other industries because other companies may rely on different methodologies or assumptions, or may make adjustments that we do not make.

        To determine the pay ratio, we first identified a median employee by examining 2017 W-2 Box 1 Federal Taxable Wages (the "Taxable Wages Measure") for all of our employees, excluding the CEO, who were employed on December 29, 2017, the last business day of the 2017 fiscal year. We included all employees whether employed as full-time, part-time or on a seasonal basis, and compensation was annualized for any full-time employee that was not employed for all of fiscal year 2017. We use the Taxable Wages Measure because it is consistently applied for all employees and because we believe it reasonably reflects the annual compensation of our employees. After identifying the median employee, we calculated annual total compensation for the median employee using the same methodology used for calculating the annual total compensation of our named executive officers as set forth in the 2017 Summary Compensation Table above.

Governance and Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Governance and Compensation Committee was comprised of Rolf A. Gafvert and David A. Hager. As described in our 2017 10-K, Mr. Hager is an executive officer of Devon and may have had an interest in the transactions among Devon, the Partnership and us. Please see "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions" in our 2017 10-K.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

        The Board has no policy that requires that the positions of the Chairman of the Board (the "Chairman") and the CEO be separate or that they be held by the same individual. The Board believes that this determination should be based on circumstances existing from time to time, including the composition, skills, and experience of the Board and its members, specific challenges faced by us or the industry in which we operate, and governance efficiency. Based on these factors, the Board determined that having Barry E. Davis serve as the CEO and Chairman up to January 2018 was in our best interest, and that such arrangement made the best use of Mr. Davis' unique skills and experience in the industry. In January 2018, the Board appointed Mr. Davis to Executive Chairman of the Board and Mr. Garberding to President and CEO, thereby separating the positions of Chairman and CEO.

        The Board is responsible for risk oversight. Management has implemented internal processes to identify and evaluate the risks inherent in our business and to assess the mitigation of those risks. The Audit Committee will review the risk assessments with management and provide reports to the Board regarding the internal risk assessment processes, the risks identified and the mitigation strategies planned or in place to address the risks in the business. The Board and the Audit Committee each provide insight into the issues, based on the experience of their members, and provide constructive challenges to management's assumptions and assertions.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Amended Company Plan

        The following is a general discussion of the current federal income tax consequences of awards under the Amended Company Plan with respect to participants who are classified as United States residents for federal income tax purposes. This discussion is based upon the current provisions of the IRC, existing final and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the IRC, administrative rulings, and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Changes in these authorities may cause the tax consequences to vary substantially from the consequences described below. We have not sought a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") with respect to any of the tax matters discussed below, and the IRS would not be precluded from taking positions contrary to those described herein. As a result, no assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with all of the tax characterizations and the tax consequences described below. Different or additional rules may apply with respect to participants who are subject to income tax in a foreign jurisdiction and/or are subject to state or local income tax in the United States.

        Unit Options.    The grant of a unit option will not result in taxable income to the participant and the individual's employer will not be entitled to an income tax deduction. Upon the exercise of a nonqualified unit option, a participant will realize ordinary taxable income on the date of exercise. Such taxable income will equal the difference between the option price and the fair market value of our common units underlying the option on the date of exercise. The entity employing the participant will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount included in the participant's ordinary income.

        Restricted Incentive Units.    The grant of restricted incentive units does not result in taxable income to the participant. Following each vesting event, the participant will generally realize ordinary income at the time the participant receives our common units free of any substantial risk of forfeiture, and the

26


Table of Contents

amount of such income will be equal to the fair market value of such common units at such time over the participant's cost, if any, and the same amount is then deductible by the entity employing the participant.

        DERs which are paid in respect of a restricted incentive unit are taxed (and are deductible) as additional compensation rather than dividend income.

        Withholding; Deductions.    Generally, the participant's ordinary income is subject to applicable withholding taxes, to the extent the participant is an employee. In general, a federal income tax deduction is allowed to the entity employing the participant in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by a participant with respect to awards under the Amended Company Plan; provided, that such amount constitutes an ordinary and necessary business expense, that such amount is reasonable and that the entity employing the participant satisfies any withholding obligation with respect to such income. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Section 409A of the IRC generally provides that any deferred compensation arrangement must satisfy specific requirements, both in operation and in form, regarding (i) the timing of payment, (ii) the advance election of deferrals, and (iii) restrictions on changes to the time of payment. Failure to comply with Section 409A may result in the early taxation (plus interest) to the participant of deferred compensation and the imposition of a 20% penalty on the participant on such deferred amounts included in the participant's income. Awards under the Amended Company Plan are structured in a manner intended to be exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A.


INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR OPPOSITION TO MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

        Our named executive officers are eligible to receive awards under the Current Plan and will be eligible to receive awards under the Amended Company Plan. The tables above under "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End for Fiscal Year 2017" provide information concerning all outstanding equity awards made to a named executive officer as of December 31, 2017, including, but not limited to, awards made under the Current Plan. The number of common units that may be awarded under the Amended Company Plan for future grants is 13,425,275 as of December 27, 2018, assuming the Unit Increase and Amended Company Plan become effective.

        3.2    Authority of Administrator.     The Committee shall have total and exclusive responsibility to control, operate, manage and administer the Plan in accordance with its terms. The Committee shall have all the authority that may be necessary or helpful to enable it to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, but subject to the limitation that none of the enumerated powers of the Committee shall be deemed to include any action that would intentionally (A) cause a tax to be imposed on a Participant pursuant to Section 409A of the Code or (B) cause an Award that is intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code to not so qualify, the Committee shall have the exclusive right to: (i) interpret the Plan and the Award Agreements executed hereunder; (ii) determine eligibility for participation in the Plan; (iii) decide all questions concerning eligibility for, and the amount of, Awards granted under the Plan; (iv) construe any ambiguous provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement; (v) prescribe the form of the Award Agreements embodying Awards granted under the Plan; (vi) correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award Agreement; (vii) issue administrative guidelines as an aid to administering the Plan and make changes in such guidelines as the Committee from time to time deems proper; (viii) make regulations for carrying out the Plan and make changes in such regulations as the Committee from time to time deems proper; (ix) determine whether Awards should be granted singly or in combination; (x) to the extent permitted under the Plan, grant waivers of Plan terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations; (xi) accelerate the exercise, vesting or payment of an Award when such action or actions would be in the best interests of the Company; (xii) grant Awards in replacement of Awards previously granted under the Plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Company; and (xiii) take any and all other actions the Committee deems necessary or advisable for the proper operation or administration of the Plan.

A-8


distribution, unit split, extraordinary cash distribution, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of Units), the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or UARs or cancel, exchange, substitute, buyout or surrender outstanding Options or UARs in exchange for cash, other awards or Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or UARs without unitholder approval.

        3.3    Discretionary Authority.     The Committee shall have full discretionary authority in all matters related to the discharge of its responsibilities and the exercise of its authority under the Plan, including, without limitation, its construction of the terms of the Plan and its determination of eligibility for participation and Awards under the Plan.

ARTICLE IV.
UNITS SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

        4.1    Available Units.     The maximum number of Units that shall be available for grant of Awards under the Plan shall not exceed a total of 17,700,000 Units, subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.3. In each calendar year for which Section 162(m) of the Code applies to EnLink Midstream, during any part of which this Plan is in effect, a Participant who is a "covered employee" within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code may not be granted (a) Awards (other than Awards designated to be paid only in cash or the settlement of which is not based on a number of Units) relating to more than 300,000 Units, subject to adjustment in a manner consistent with any adjustment made pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.3 and (b) Awards designated to be paid only in cash, or the settlement of which is not based on a number of Units, having a value determined on the Grant Date in excess of $3,000,000. All Units available for issuance hereunder may be issued as Incentive Unit Options.

        4.2    Adjustments for Recapitalizations and Reorganizations.     

        (a)   The Units with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan are Units as presently constituted, but if, and whenever, prior to the expiration or satisfaction of an Award theretofore granted, EnLink Midstream shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of Units or the payment of a distribution on Units in the form of EnLink Midstream Units without receipt of consideration by EnLink Midstream, the number of Units with respect to which such Award may thereafter be exercised or satisfied, as applicable, (i) in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding Units, shall be proportionately increased, and the exercise price per Unit shall be proportionately reduced, and (ii) in the event of a reduction in the number of outstanding Units, shall be proportionately reduced, and the exercise price per Unit shall be proportionately increased.

        (b)   If EnLink Midstream recapitalizes or otherwise changes its capital structure, thereafter upon any exercise or satisfaction, as applicable, of an Award theretofore granted the Participant shall be entitled to (or entitled to purchase, if applicable) under such Award, in lieu of the number of Units then covered by such Award, the number and class of units or other securities to which the Participant would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, immediately prior to such

A-9


recapitalization, the Participant had been the holder of record of the number of Units then covered by such Award.

        (c)   In the event of changes in the outstanding Units by reason of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of Units or property), exchange, or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the Grant Date of any Award and not otherwise provided for by this Section 4.2, any outstanding Awards and any Award Agreements evidencing such Awards shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee in its absolute discretion as to the number, price and kind of units or other consideration subject to, and other terms of, such Awards to reflect such changes in the outstanding Units.

        (d)   In the event of any changes in the outstanding Units provided for in this Section 4.2, the aggregate number of Units available for grant of Awards under the Plan shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive. Any adjustment provided for in this Section 4.2 shall be subject to any required unitholder action.

        4.3    Adjustments for Awards.     The Committee shall have full discretion to determine the manner in which Units available for grant of Awards under the Plan are counted. Without limiting the discretion of the Committee under this Section 4.3, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the following rules shall apply for the purpose of determining the number of Units available for grant of Awards under the Plan:

        (a)    Unit-Based Awards.     The grant of Awards other than Awards settled in cash shall reduce the number of Units available for grant of Awards under the Plan by the number of Units subject to such Award.

        (b)    Termination.     If any Award referred to in paragraph (a) above is canceled or forfeited, or terminates, expires or lapses for any reason, the Units then subject to such Award shall again be available for grant of Awards under the Plan.

        (c)    Payment of Exercise Price and Withholding Taxes.     If previously acquired Units are used to pay the exercise price of an Award or Units are withheld in payment of such exercise price, the number of Units available for grant of Awards under the Plan shall be increased by the number of Units delivered as payment of such exercise price. If previously acquired Units are used to pay withholding taxes payable upon exercise, vesting or payment of an Award, or Units that would be acquired upon exercise, vesting or payment of an Award are withheld to pay withholding taxes payable upon exercise, vesting or payment of such Award, the number of Units available for grant of Awards under the Plan shall be increased by the number of Units delivered or withheld as payment of such withholding taxes. For purposes of this Section 4.3(c), if any Units delivered or withheld could not again be available for Awards to a particular Participant under any applicable law or regulation, such Units shall be available exclusively for Awards to Participants who are not subject to such limitation.

        (d)    Fractional Units.     If any such adjustment would result in a fractional security being (i) available under the Plan, such fractional security shall be disregarded or (ii) subject to an Award, EnLink Midstream shall pay the holder of such Award, in connection with the first vesting, exercise or settlement of such Award in whole or in part occurring after such adjustment, an amount in cash determined by multiplying (x) the fraction of such security (rounded to the nearest hundredth) by (y) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the vesting, exercise or settlement date over the exercise price, if any, of such Award.

A-10



ARTICLE V.
ELIGIBILITY

        All Employees, Consultants and Outside Directors are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Committee shall recommend, from time to time, Participants from those Employees, Consultants and Outside Directors who, in the opinion of the Committee, can further the Plan purposes. Once a Participant is recommended for an Award by the Committee, the Committee shall determine the type and size of Award to be granted to the Participant and shall establish in the related Award Agreement the terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations applicable to the Award, in addition to those set forth in the Plan and the administrative rules and regulations, if any, established by the Committee.


ARTICLE VI.
FORM OF AWARDS

        Awards may, at the Committee's sole discretion, be granted under the Plan in the form of Options, UARs, Restricted Unit Awards, Restricted Incentive Units, Unit Awards, Cash Awards, Performance Awards or a combination thereof. All Awards shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations of the Plan. The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, subject any Award to such other terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations (including, but not limited to, the time and conditions of exercise, vesting or payment of an Award, restrictions on transferability of any Units issued or delivered pursuant to an Award, and forfeiture of Awards in the event of termination of employment by the Participant, or termination of the Participant's service relationship with the Company), provided they are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

Any combination of Awards may be granted at one time and on more than one occasion to the same Participant.


ARTICLE VII.
OPTIONS

        7.1    General.     Awards may be granted to Employees, Consultants and Outside Directors in the form of Options. Options granted under the Plan may be Incentive Unit Options or Nonqualified Unit Options, or a combination of both; provided, however, that Incentive Unit Options may be granted only to Employees.

        7.2    Terms and Conditions of Options.     An Option shall be exercisable in whole or in such installments and at such times as may be determined by the Committee. The price at which a Unit may be purchased upon exercise of a Nonqualified Unit Option shall be determined by the Committee, but such exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Unit on the Grant Date. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.3, the term of each Option shall be as specified by the Committee; provided, however, that, no Options shall be exercisable later than ten years from the Grant Date. Options may be granted with respect to Restricted Units or Units that are not Restricted Units, as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion. In no event shall an Award of Options include any right to receive distributions or DERs in connection with the Units that are subject to such Options or with respect to periods occurring prior to the exercise of such Options.

        7.3    Restrictions Relating to Incentive Unit Options.     Options granted in the form of Incentive Unit Options (including any UAR in tandem therewith) shall, in addition to being subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.2, comply with Section 422(b) of the Code. Accordingly, no Incentive Unit Options shall be granted later than ten years from the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the respective Incentive Unit Option is granted) of Units with respect to which Incentive Unit Options are exercisable for the first time by an individual during any calendar year under all incentive unit option plans of EnLink

A-11


Midstream and its Affiliates exceeds $100,000, such excess Incentive Unit Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Unit Options. The Committee shall determine, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code, which of a Participant's Incentive Unit Options will not constitute Incentive Unit Options because of such limitation and shall notify the Participant of such determination as soon as practicable after such determination. The price at which a Unit may be purchased upon exercise of an Incentive Unit Option shall be determined by the Committee, but such exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the Grant Date. No Incentive Unit Option shall be granted to an Employee under the Plan if, at the time such Option is granted, such Employee owns Units possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of units of EnLink Midstream or an Affiliate, within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code, unless (i) on the Grant Date of such Option, the exercise price of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Units subject to the Option and (ii) such Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the Grant Date of the Option.

        7.4    Additional Terms and Conditions.     The Committee may subject any Award of an Option to such other terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations as it determines are necessary or appropriate, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan.

        7.5    Exercise of Options.     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of exercise to EnLink Midstream, setting forth the number of Units with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for such Units.

        (a)   Upon exercise of an Option, the exercise price of the Option shall be payable to EnLink Midstream in full either: (i) in cash or an equivalent acceptable to the Committee, or (ii) in the absolute discretion of the Committee and in accordance with any applicable administrative guidelines established by the Committee, by tendering one or more previously acquired nonforfeitable Units that have been owned by the Participant or by reducing the number of Units issuable upon exercise of the Option, in either case having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total exercise price (including an actual or deemed multiple series of exchanges of such Units), or (iii) in a combination of the forms of payment specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above.

        (b)   From and after such time as EnLink Midstream registers the Units under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, payment of the exercise price of an Option may also be made, in the absolute discretion of the Committee, by delivery to EnLink Midstream or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer to sell or margin a sufficient portion of the Units with respect to which the Option is exercised and deliver the sale or margin loan proceeds directly to EnLink Midstream to pay the exercise price and any required withholding taxes.

        (c)   As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of written notification of exercise of an Option and full payment of the exercise price and any required withholding taxes, EnLink Midstream shall deliver to the Participant, in the Participant's name, a unit certificate or certificates in an appropriate amount based upon the number of Units purchased under the Option.

        8.3    Rights Related to Options.     A UAR granted pursuant to an Option shall entitle a Participant, upon exercise, to surrender that Option or any portion thereof, to the extent unexercised, and to receive payment of an amount computed pursuant to Section 8.3(b). That Option shall then cease to be exercisable to the extent surrendered. UARs granted in connection with an Option shall be subject to the terms of the Award Agreement governing the Option, which shall comply with the following provisions in addition to those applicable to Options:

        (a)   A UAR granted in connection with an Option shall be exercisable only at such time or times and only to the extent that the related Option is exercisable and shall not be transferable except to the extent that the related Option is transferable.

        (b)   Upon the exercise of a UAR related to an Option, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company of an amount determined by multiplying: (1) the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise price with respect to a Unit specified in the related Option from the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the date of exercise of the UAR, by (2) the number of Units as to which that UAR has been exercised.

        8.4    Right Without Option.     A UAR granted independent of an Option shall be exercisable as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement governing the UAR, which Award Agreement shall comply with the following provisions:

        (a)   Each Award Agreement shall state the total number of Units to which the UAR relates.

        (b)   Each Award Agreement shall state the time or periods in which the right to exercise the UAR or a portion thereof shall vest and the number of Units for which the right to exercise the UAR shall vest at each such time or period.

        (c)   Each Award Agreement shall state the date at which the UARs shall expire if not previously exercised.

        (d)   Each UAR shall entitle a Participant, upon exercise thereof, to receive payment of an amount determined by multiplying: (1) the difference obtained by subtracting the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the Grant Date of the UAR from the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the date of exercise of that UAR, by (2) the number of Units as to which the UAR has been exercised.

        8.5    Terms.     Except as otherwise provided herein, the Committee shall determine at the Grant Date or thereafter, the time or times at which and the circumstances under which a UAR may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by or forms in which Units will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants, whether or not a UAR shall be in tandem or in combination with any other Award, and any other terms and conditions of any UAR. Subject to Section 409A of the Code, UARs may be either freestanding or in tandem with other Awards. In no event shall an Award of UARs include any right to receive distributions or DERs in connection with the Units that are subject to such UARs or with respect to periods occurring prior to the exercise of such UARs.

        9.3    UDRs.     To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, a grant of Restricted Units may provide that the distributions made by the Company with respect to the Restricted Units shall be subject to the same forfeiture and other restrictions as the Restricted Unit and, if restricted, such distributions shall be held, without interest, until the Restricted Unit vests or is forfeited with the UDR being paid or forfeited at the same time, as the case may be. In addition, the Committee may provide that such distributions be used to acquire additional Restricted Units for the Participant. Such additional Restricted Units may be subject to such vesting and other terms as the Committee may prescribe. Absent such a restriction on the UDRs in the Award Agreement, UDRs shall be paid to the holder of the Restricted Unit without restriction at the same time as cash distributions are paid by the Company to its unitholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, UDRs shall only be paid in a manner that is either exempt from or in compliance with the requirements under Section 409A of the Code.

        9.4    Other Terms and Conditions.     Restricted Units awarded to a Participant under the Plan shall be represented by a unit certificate registered in the name of the Participant or, at the option of EnLink Midstream, in the name of a nominee of EnLink Midstream. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, a Participant to whom Restricted Units have been awarded shall have the right to vote the Restricted Units and to enjoy all other unitholder rights with respect thereto, except that (i) the Participant shall not be entitled to possession of the unit certificate representing the Restricted Units until the Restriction Period has expired, (ii) EnLink Midstream shall retain custody of the Restricted Units during the Restriction Period, (iii) the Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Units during the Restriction Period, and (iv) a breach of the terms and conditions established by the Committee pursuant to the Award of the Restricted Units shall cause a forfeiture of the Restricted Units.

        10.4    Other Terms and Conditions.     At the time of an Award of Restricted Incentive Units, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, prescribe additional terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations applicable to the Restricted Incentive Units prior to expiration of the Restriction Period.

Restricted Incentive Units shall be satisfied by the delivery of cash or Units in the amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the specified number of Units covered by the Restricted Incentive Units, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee on the Grant Date or thereafter.


ARTICLE XI.

        11.2    Bonus Units and Awards in Lieu of Obligations.     For the avoidance of doubt, the Committee is authorized to grant Units as a bonus, or to grant Units or other Awards in lieu of obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under this Plan or under other bonus plans or compensatory arrangements, provided that, in the case of Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the amount of such grants remains within the discretion of the Committee to the extent necessary to ensure that acquisitions of Units or other Awards are exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Units or Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to such other terms as shall be determined by the Committee. In the case of any grant of Units to an officer of the Company in lieu of salary or other cash compensation, the number of Units granted in place of such compensation shall be reasonable, as determined by the Committee.


ARTICLE XII.
CASH AWARDS; DERS

        12.1    General; Terms and Conditions.     An Award may be in the form of a Cash Award. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any Cash Awards granted pursuant to this Plan shall be determined by the Committee.

        12.2    DERs.     To the extent provided by the Committee, in its discretion, an Award (other than a Restricted Unit, Option or UAR) may include a tandem DER grant, which may provide that such DERs shall be paid directly to the Participant, be reinvested into additional Awards, be credited to a bookkeeping account (with or without interest in the discretion of the Committee) subject to the same vesting restrictions as the tandem Award, or be subject to such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion. Absent a contrary provision in the Award Agreement, DERs shall be paid to the Participant without restriction at the same time as ordinary cash

A-15


distributions are paid by the Company to its unitholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DERs shall only be paid in a manner that is either exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.


ARTICLE XIII.
PERFORMANCE AWARDS

        13.1    General.     Without limiting the type or number of Awards that may be made under the other provisions of this Plan, an Award may be in the form of a Performance Award. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any Performance Award granted to Participants pursuant to this Plan shall be determined by the Committee, subject to the limitations specified below. In no event shall a Performance Award include any right to receive distributions or DERs during periods occurring prior to the vesting of such Performance Award. The Committee shall set Performance Goals in its sole discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value and/or amount of Performance Awards that will be paid out to the Participant and/or the portion of an Award that may be exercised.

        13.2    Nonqualified Performance Awards.     Performance Awards granted to Employees, Consultants or Outside Directors that are not intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be based on achievement of such Performance Goals and be subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee or its delegate shall determine.

        13.3    Qualified Performance Awards.     Performance Awards granted to Executive Officers under this Plan that are intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be paid, vested or otherwise deliverable solely on account of the attainment of one or more pre-established, objective Performance Goals established and administered by the Committee in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code prior to the earlier to occur of (x) 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the Performance Goal relates and (y) the lapse of 25% of the period of service (as scheduled in good faith at the time the goal is established), and in any event while the outcome is substantially uncertain. A Performance Goal is objective if a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether the goal is met. Achievement of Performance Goals in respect of such Performance Awards shall be measured over a performance period of up to ten years, as specified by the Committee.

        (a)   Such a Performance Goal may be based on one or more business and individual performance criteria that apply to an Executive Officer, one or more business units, divisions or sectors of the Company, or the Company as a whole, and if so desired by the Committee, by comparison with a peer group of companies. A Performance Goal need not be the same for each Executive Officer:

A-16


        (b)   Unless otherwise stated, such a Performance Goal need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo, performance relative to a peer group determined by the Committee or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to Performance Goals and qualified Performance Awards, it is the intent of this Plan to conform with Section 162(m) of the Code, including, without limitation, Treasury Regulation §1.162-27(e)(2)(i), as to grants to Executive Officers and the Committee in establishing such goals and interpreting the Plan shall be guided by such provisions. Prior to the payment of any compensation based on the achievement of Performance Goals applicable to qualified Performance Awards, the Committee must certify in writing that applicable Performance Goals and any of the material terms thereof were, in fact, satisfied. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to any qualified Performance Awards made pursuant to this Plan shall be determined by the Committee to the extent permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code.

        (c)   After the end of each performance period, the Committee shall determine the amount, if any, of the amount of the potential Performance Award payable to each Participant. Settlement of such Performance Awards shall be in cash, Units, other Awards or other property, in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in connection with such Performance Awards, but may not exercise discretion to increase any such amount payable to an Executive Officer in respect of a Performance Award subject to this Section 13.3(c). The Committee shall specify the circumstances in which such Performance Awards shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination of employment by the Participant prior to the end of a performance period or settlement of Performance Awards.

        (d)   The Committee shall adjust the Performance Goals (either up or down) and the level of the Performance Award that a Participant may earn under this Plan, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code, if it determines that the occurrence of external changes or other unanticipated business conditions have materially affected the fairness of the goals and have unduly influenced the Company's ability to meet them, including without limitation, events such as material acquisitions, changes in the capital structure of the Company, and extraordinary accounting changes. In addition, Performance Goals and Performance Awards shall be calculated without regard to any changes in accounting standards that may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board after such Performance Goals are established. Further, in the event a period of service to which a Performance Goal relates is less than twelve months, the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to adjust the Performance Goals and the level of Performance Award opportunity.


ARTICLE XIV.
CHANGE OF CONTROL

        14.1    Definition of Change of Control.     A "Change of Control" means: (a) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of EnLink Midstream, EnLink Midstream GP, LLC or EnLink Midstream Partners, LP with or into another entity or any other transaction, the result of which is that any person (other than EnLink Midstream, EnLink Midstream GP, LLC or EnLink Midstream Partners, LP (or

A-17


their subsidiaries)) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly of 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding securities of each of (i) the continuing or surviving entity and (ii) any direct or indirect parent entity of such continuing or surviving entity; (b) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; or (c) a change in the composition of the Board as result of which fewer than 50% of the incumbent directors are directors who either (i) had been directors of the EnLink Manager on the date 12 months prior to the date of the event that may constitute a Change of Control (the "original directors") or (ii) were elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the aggregate of the original directors who were still in office at the time of the election or nomination and the directors whose election or nomination was previously so approved.

        14.2    Effect on Outstanding Awards.     Upon a Change of Control, and except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, the Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any holder, shall affect one or more of the following alternatives, which may vary among individual holders and which may vary among Options or UARs (collectively "Grants") held by any individual holder: (i) accelerate the time at which Grants then outstanding may be exercised so that such Grants may be exercised in full for a limited period of time on or before a specified date (before or after such Change of Control) fixed by the Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Grants and all rights of holders thereunder shall terminate, (ii) require the mandatory surrender to the Company by selected holders of some or all of the outstanding Grants held by such holders (irrespective of whether such Grants are then exercisable under the provisions of this Plan) as of a date, before or after such Change of Control, specified by the Committee, in which event the Committee shall thereupon cancel such Grants and pay to each holder an amount of cash (or other consideration including securities or other property) per Unit equal to the excess, if any, of the amount calculated in Section 14.3 (the "Change of Control Price") of the Units subject to such Grants over the exercise price(s) under such Grants for such Units (except that to the extent the exercise price under any such Grant is equal to or exceeds the Change of Control Price, in which case no amount shall be payable with respect to such Grant), or (iii) make such adjustments to Grants then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change of Control; provided, however, that the Committee may determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment is necessary to Grants then outstanding; provided, further, however, that the right to make such adjustments shall include, but not require or be limited to, the modification of Grants such that the holder of the Grant shall be entitled to purchase or receive (in lieu of the total number of Units as to which an Option or UAR is exercisable (the "Total Units") or other consideration that the holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase or receive under the Grant (the "Total Consideration")), the number of units, other securities, cash or property to which the Total Consideration would have been entitled to in connection with the Change of Control (a) (in the case of Options), at an aggregate exercise price equal to the exercise price that would have been payable if the Total Units had been purchased upon the exercise of the Grant immediately before the consummation of the Change of Control and (b) in the case of UARs, if the UARs had been exercised immediately before the occurrence of the Change of Control.

        14.3    Change of Control Price.     The "Change of Control Price" shall equal the amount determined in the following clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), whichever is applicable, as follows: (i) the price per Unit offered to holders of Units in any merger or consolidation, (ii) the per Unit Fair Market Value of the Units immediately before the Change of Control without regard to assets sold in the Change of Control and assuming the Company has received the consideration paid for the assets in the case of a sale of the assets, (iii) the amount distributed per Unit in a dissolution transaction, (iv) the price per Unit offered to holders of Units in any tender offer or exchange offer whereby a Change of Control takes place, or (v) if such Change of Control occurs other than pursuant to a transaction described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) of this Section 14.3, the Fair Market Value per Unit that may otherwise be obtained with respect to such Grants or to which such Grants track, as determined by the Committee as of the date determined by the Committee to be the date of cancellation and surrender of

A-18


such Grants. In the event that the consideration offered to unitholders of the Company in any transaction described in this Section 14.3 or in Section 14.2 consists of anything other than cash, the Committee shall determine the fair cash equivalent of the portion of the consideration offered which is other than cash and such determination shall be binding on all affected Participants to the extent applicable to Awards held by such Participants.

        14.4    Impact of Corporate Events on Awards Generally.     In the event of a Change of Control or changes in the outstanding Units by reason of a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the date of the grant of any Award and except as otherwise provided for by this Section 14 or in an Award Agreement,, any outstanding Awards and any Award Agreements evidencing such Awards shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee at its discretion, which adjustment may, in the Committee's discretion, be described in the Award Agreement and may include, but not be limited to, adjustments as to the number and price of Units or other consideration subject to such Awards, accelerated vesting (in full or in part) of such Awards, conversion of such Awards into awards denominated in the securities or other interests of any successor Person, or the cash settlement of such Awards in exchange for the cancellation thereof; provided however, if such Awards are unvested, they may be canceled without consideration. In the event of any such change in the outstanding Units, the aggregate number of Units available under this Plan may be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive.


ARTICLE XV.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

        15.1    Plan Amendment and Termination.     The Board may at any time suspend, terminate, amend or modify the Plan, in whole or in part; provided, however, that no amendment or modification of the Plan shall become effective without the approval of such amendment or modification by the unitholders of EnLink Midstream (i) if such amendment or modification increases the maximum number of Units subject to the Plan (except as provided in Article IV) or changes the designation or class of persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, or (ii) if counsel for EnLink Midstream determines that such approval is otherwise required by or necessary to comply with applicable law. The Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the termination of the Plan by the Board, or (ii) the expiration of ten years from December 30, 2018. Upon termination of the Plan, the terms and provisions of the Plan shall, notwithstanding such termination, continue to apply to Awards granted prior to such termination. No suspension, termination, amendment or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the consent of the Participant (or the permitted transferee) holding such Award.

        15.2    Award Amendment.     The Committee may amend the terms of any outstanding Award granted pursuant to this Plan, but no such amendment shall adversely affect in any material way the Participant's (or a permitted transferee's) rights under an outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant (or the permitted transferee) holding such Award; provided, however, that no amendment shall be made that would cause the exercise price of an Option to be less than the Fair Market Value of the Unit subject to the Option on the Grant Date.


ARTICLE XVI.
MISCELLANEOUS

        16.1    Award Agreements and Termination of Employment.     After the Committee grants an Award under the Plan to a Participant, EnLink Midstream and the Participant shall enter into an Award Agreement setting forth the terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations applicable to the Award and such other matters as the Committee may determine to be appropriate. The terms and provisions of the respective Award Agreements need not be identical. All Award Agreements shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the event of any conflict between an Award Agreement and the Plan,

A-19


the terms of the Plan shall govern. Except as provided herein, the treatment of an Award upon a termination of employment or any other service relationship by and between a Participant and the Company shall be specified in the Award Agreement controlling such Award.

        16.2    Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Awards.     Awards granted under this Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to and subject to Section 409A of the Code, in tandem with, or, subject to Section 3.2, in substitution or exchange for, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of the Company, or of any business entity to be acquired by the Company, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company. Notwithstanding Article VII, such additional, tandem and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any time. Such substitute Awards that are Options or Unit Appreciation Rights may have exercise prices less than the Fair Market Value of a Unit on the date of the substitution if such substitution complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and other applicable laws and exchange rules. If an Award is granted in substitution or exchange for another Award, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award in consideration for the grant of the new Award.

        16.3    Listing Conditions.     

        (a)   As long as the Units are listed on a national securities exchange or system sponsored by a national securities association, the issuance of any Units pursuant to an Award shall be conditioned upon such Units being listed on such exchange or system and in compliance with the rules of such exchange. EnLink Midstream shall have no obligation to issue such Units unless and until such Units are so listed and the issuance would be in compliance with the rules of the exchange, and the right to exercise any Option or other Award with respect to such Units shall be suspended until such listing and compliance has been effected.

        (b)   If at any time counsel to EnLink Midstream or its Affiliates shall be of the opinion that any sale or delivery of Units pursuant to an Award is or may in the circumstances be unlawful or result in the imposition of excise taxes on EnLink Midstream or its Affiliates under the statutes, rules or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, EnLink Midstream or its Affiliates shall have no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any application or to effect or to maintain any qualification or registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or otherwise, with respect to Units or Awards, and the right to exercise any Option or other Award shall be suspended until, in the opinion of said counsel, such sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not result in the imposition of excise taxes on EnLink Midstream or its Affiliates.

        (c)   Upon termination of any period of suspension under this Section 16.3, any Award affected by such suspension which shall not then have expired or terminated shall be reinstated as to all Units available before such suspension and as to Units which would otherwise have become available during the period of such suspension, but no such suspension shall extend the term of any Award.

        16.4    Additional Conditions.     

        (a)   Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary: (i) EnLink Midstream may, if it shall determine it necessary or desirable for any reason, at the time of grant of any Award or the issuance of any Units pursuant to any Award, require the recipient of the Award or such Units, as a condition to the receipt thereof, to deliver to EnLink Midstream a written representation of present intention to acquire the Award or such Units for his or her own account for investment and not for distribution; (ii) the certificate for Units issued to a Participant may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer, and (iii) all certificates for Units delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which the Units are then quoted, any applicable federal or state securities law, and any applicable corporate law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

A-20


        (b)   Each Participant to whom an Award is granted under this Plan may be required to agree in writing as a condition to the granting of such Award not to engage in conduct in competition with the Company for a period after the termination of such Participant's employment with the Company as determined by the Committee (a "Non-Competition Agreement"); provided, however, to the extent a legally binding right to an Award within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code is created with respect to a Participant, the Non-Competition Agreement must be entered into by such Participant within 30 days following the creation of such legally binding right.

        16.5    Transferability.     

        (a)    Permitted Transferees.     The Committee may, in its discretion, permit a Participant to transfer all or any portion of an Option or UAR, or authorize all or a portion of an Option or UAR to be granted to a Participant to be on terms which permit transfer by such Participant; provided that, in either case the transferee or transferees must be any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, in each case with respect to the Participant, an individual sharing the Participant's household (other than a tenant or employee of the Company), a trust in which any of the foregoing individuals have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which any of the foregoing individuals (or the Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which any of the foregoing individuals (or the Participant) own more than 50% of the voting interests (collectively, "Permitted Transferees"); provided further that, (X) there may be no consideration for any such transfer and (Y) subsequent transfers of Options or UARs transferred as provided above shall be prohibited except subsequent transfers back to the original holder of the Option or UAR and transfers to other Permitted Transferees of the original holder. Agreements evidencing Options or UARs with respect to which such transferability is authorized at the time of grant must be approved by the Committee, and must expressly provide for transferability in a manner consistent with this Section 16.5.

        (b)    Domestic Relations Orders.     An Option, UAR, Restricted Incentive Unit Award, Restricted Unit Award or other Award may be transferred, to a Permitted Transferee, pursuant to a domestic relations order entered or approved by a court of competent jurisdiction upon delivery to the Company of written notice of such transfer and a certified copy of such order.

        (c)    Other Transfers.     Except as expressly permitted by Sections 16.5(a) and 16.5(b), Awards shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16.5, an Incentive Unit Option shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

        (d)    Effect of Transfer.     Following the transfer of any Award as contemplated by Sections 16.5(a), 16.5(b) and 16.5(c), (1) such Award shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that the term "Participant" shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, the recipient under a domestic relations order described in Section 16.5(b), or the estate or heirs of a deceased Participant or other transferee, as applicable, to the extent appropriate to enable the Participant to exercise the transferred Award in accordance with the terms of this Plan and applicable law and (2) the provisions of the Award relating to exercisability shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Participant and, following the occurrence of any applicable events described therein the Awards shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee, the recipient under a qualified domestic relations order, or the estate or heirs of a deceased Participant, as applicable, only to the extent and for the periods that would have been applicable in the absence of the transfer.

        (e)    Procedures and Restrictions.     Any Participant desiring to transfer an Award as permitted under Sections 16.5(a), 16.5(b) or 16.5(c) shall make application therefor in the manner and time specified by the Committee and shall comply with such other requirements as the Committee may

A-21


require to assure compliance with all applicable securities laws. The Committee shall not give permission for such a transfer if (1) it would give rise to short swing liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or (2) it may not be made in compliance with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws.

        (f)    Registration.     To the extent the issuance to any Permitted Transferee of any Units issuable pursuant to Awards transferred as permitted in this Section 16.5 is not registered pursuant to the effective registration statement of the Company generally covering the Units to be issued pursuant to this Plan to initial holders of Awards, the Company shall not have any obligation to register the issuance of any such Units to any such transferee.

        16.6    Withholding Taxes.     The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any payment made under the Plan, regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment, may require the Participant to pay to the Company such withholding taxes prior to and as a condition of the making of any payment or the issuance or delivery of any Units under the Plan, and shall be entitled to deduct from any other compensation payable to the Participant any withholding obligations with respect to Awards under the Plan. In accordance with any applicable administrative guidelines it establishes, the Committee may allow a Participant to pay the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld from or with respect to an Award by (i) withholding Units from any payment of Units due as a result of such Award, or (ii) permitting the Participant to deliver to the Company previously acquired Units, in each case having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required withholding taxes. No payment shall be made and no Units shall be issued pursuant to any Award unless and until the applicable tax withholding obligations have been satisfied.

        16.7    No Fractional Units.     No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award granted hereunder, and except as otherwise provided herein, no payment or other adjustment shall be made in respect of any such fractional Unit.

        16.8    Notices.     All notices required or permitted to be given or made under the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made if (a) delivered personally, (b) transmitted by first class registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (c) sent by prepaid overnight courier service, or (d) sent by telecopy or facsimile transmission, answer back requested, to the person who is to receive it at the address that such person has theretofore specified by written notice delivered in accordance herewith. Such notices shall be effective (i) if delivered personally or sent by courier service, upon actual receipt by the intended recipient, (ii) if mailed, upon the earlier of five days after deposit in the mail or the date of delivery as shown by the return receipt therefor, or (iii) if sent by telecopy or facsimile transmission, when the answer back is received. EnLink Midstream or a Participant may change, at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the other, the address that it or such Participant had theretofore specified for receiving notices. Until such address is changed in accordance herewith, notices hereunder or under an Award Agreement shall be delivered or sent (x) to a Participant at his or her address as set forth in the records of the Company or (y) to EnLink Midstream at the principal executive offices of EnLink Midstream clearly marked "Attention: LTIP Administrator."

        16.9    Binding Effect.     The obligations of EnLink Midstream under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of EnLink Midstream, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of EnLink Midstream. The terms and conditions of the Plan shall be binding upon each Participant and his or her heirs, legatees, distributees and legal representatives.

        16.10    Severability.     If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan or

A-22


such agreement, as the case may be, but such provision shall be fully severable and the Plan or such agreement, as the case may be, shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein or therein.

        16.11    No Restriction of Corporate Action.     Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent EnLink Midstream or any Affiliate from taking any corporate action (including any corporate action to suspend, terminate, amend or modify the Plan) that is deemed by EnLink Midstream or such Affiliate to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any Awards made or to be made under the Plan. No Participant or other person shall have any claim against EnLink Midstream or any Affiliate as a result of such action.

        16.12    Governing Law.     The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the principles relating to conflicts of laws) of the State of Delaware except as superseded by applicable federal law.

        16.13    No Right, Title or Interest in Company Assets.     No Participant shall have any rights as a unitholder of EnLink Midstream as a result of participation in the Plan until the date of issuance of a unit certificate in his or her name and, in the case of Restricted Units, unless and until such rights are granted to the Participant pursuant to the Plan. To the extent any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured general creditor of the Company, and such person shall not have any rights in or against any specific assets of the Company. All of the Awards granted under the Plan shall be unfunded.

        16.14    Risk of Participation.     Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed either as a guarantee by EnLink Midstream or its Affiliates, or their respective unitholders, directors, officers or employees, of the value of any assets of the Plan or as an agreement by EnLink Midstream or its Affiliates, or their respective unitholders, directors, officers or employees, to indemnify anyone for any losses, damages, costs or expenses resulting from participation in the Plan.

        16.15    Section 409A of the Code.     All Awards under this Plan are intended either to be exempt from, or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and this Plan and all Awards shall be interpreted and operated in a manner consistent with that intention. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if any Plan provision or Award under this Plan would result in the imposition of an applicable tax under Section 409A of the Code, that Plan provision or Award shall be reformed to avoid imposition of the applicable tax and no such action shall be deemed to adversely affect the Participant's rights to an Award.

        16.16    No Guarantee of Tax Consequences.     No person connected with the Plan in any capacity, including, but not limited to, EnLink Midstream and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees, makes any representation, commitment or guarantee that any tax treatment, including, but not limited to, federal, state and local income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to any Awards or payments thereunder made to or for the benefit of a Participant under the Plan or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to a Participant on account of participation in the Plan.

        16.17    Continued Employment or Service.     Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the employ or service of the Company, or interfere in any way with the rights of the Company to terminate a Participant's employment or service at any time, with or without cause.

        16.18    Miscellaneous.     Headings are given to the articles and sections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction of the Plan or any provisions hereof. The use of the masculine gender shall also include within its meaning the feminine. Wherever the context of the Plan dictates, the use of the singular shall also include within its meaning the plural, and vice versa.
