Remarks:

The Reporting Person is a director of Marlin Midstream GP, LLC, the general partner of the Issuer (the "General Partner"). The Issuer is managed by the directors and officers of the General Partner. The Reporting Person has an indirect interest in Azure Midstream Holdings LLC, which is the sole owner of Azure Midstream Energy LLC ("Azure"), which is the sole member of the General Partner. Pursuant to that certain Option Agreement, dated February 27, 2015, between Azure and NuDevco Midstream Development, LLC ("NuDevco"), Azure has the option to acquire from NuDevco 387,935 common units of the Issuer and 1,744,909 subordinated units of the Issuer (or, if such subordinated units have been converted in to common units of the Issuer, then an equivalent number of common units) (collectively, the "Option Units"). The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Option Units except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.

No securities are beneficially owned.
