Certain Provisions of the Partnership Agreement
(8) Certain Provisions of the Partnership Agreement

(a) ENLK Series B Preferred Units

Prior to the closing of the Merger, Series B Preferred Unit distributions were payable quarterly in cash at an amount equal to $0.28125 per Series B Preferred Unit (the “Cash Distribution Component”) plus an in-kind distribution equal to the greater of (A) 0.0025 Series B Preferred Units per Series B Preferred Unit and (B) an amount equal to (i) the excess, if any, of the distribution that would have been payable had the Series B Preferred Units converted into ENLK common units over the Cash Distribution Component, divided by (ii) the issue price of $15.00 (the “Issue Price”).

Following the closing of the Merger, and beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the holder of the Series B Preferred Units will be entitled to quarterly cash distributions and distributions in-kind of additional Series B Preferred Units as described below.  The quarterly in-kind distribution (the “Series B PIK Distribution”) will equal the greater of (A) 0.0025 Series B Preferred Units per Series B Preferred Unit and (B) the number of Series B Preferred Units equal to the quotient of (x) the excess (if any) of (1) the distribution that would have been payable by ENLC had the Series B Preferred Units been exchanged for ENLC common units but applying a one-to-one exchange ratio (subject to certain adjustments) instead of the exchange ratio of 1.15 ENLC common units for each Series B Preferred Unit, subject to certain adjustments (the “Series B Exchange Ratio”), over (2) the Cash Distribution Component, divided by (y) the Issue Price.  The quarterly cash distribution will consist of the Cash Distribution Component plus an amount in cash that will be determined based on a comparison of the value (applying the Issue Price) of (i) the Series B PIK Distribution and (ii) the Series B Preferred Units that would have been distributed in the Series B PIK Distribution if such calculation applied the Series B Exchange Ratio instead of the one-to-one ratio (subject to certain adjustments).

A summary of the distribution activity relating to the Series B Preferred Units during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is provided below:

(b)
ENLK Series C Preferred Units

Distributions on the Series C Preferred Units accrue and are cumulative from the date of original issue and payable semi-annually in arrears on the 15th day of June and December of each year through and including December 15, 2022 and, thereafter, quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September, and December of each year, in each case, if and when declared by the General Partner out of legally available funds for such purpose. The initial distribution rate for the Series C Preferred Units from and including the date of original issue to, but not including, December 15, 2022 is 6.0% per annum. On and after December 15, 2022, distributions on the Series C Preferred Units will accumulate for each distribution period at a percentage of the $1,000 liquidation preference per unit equal to an annual floating rate of the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.11%.

(d)
Allocation of ENLK Income

Prior to the closing of the Merger and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, net income was allocated to the General Partner in an amount equal to its incentive distribution rights. Prior to the closing of the Merger, ENLK was required to pay the General Partner incentive distributions in the amount of 13.0% of ENLK distributions in excess of $0.25 per unit, 23.0% of ENLK distributions in excess of $0.3125 per unit, and 48.0% of ENLK distributions in excess of $0.375 per unit. The General Partner was not entitled to incentive distributions with respect to (i) distributions on the Series B Preferred Units until such units converted into common units or (ii) the Series C Preferred Units. At the closing of the Merger, the General Partner’s incentive distribution rights in ENLK were eliminated.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the General Partner’s share of net income consisted of incentive distribution rights to the extent earned, a deduction for unit-based compensation attributable to ENLC’s restricted units, and the percentage interest of ENLK’s net income adjusted for ENLC’s unit-based compensation specifically allocated to the General Partner. The net income allocated to the General Partner is as follows (in millions):
