Item 1.01.                                        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Crosstex Energy, Inc. (the “Registrant”) owns the general partner interest, the incentive distribution rights and a portion of the limited partner interests in Crosstex Energy, L.P. (the “Partnership”).

On May 10, 2013, the Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BMO Capital Markets Corp. (“BMOCM”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Partnership may sell from time to time through BMOCM, as the Partnership’s sales agent, common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership having an aggregate offering price of up to $75,000,000 (the “Units”). Sales of the Units, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions through the facilities of the Nasdaq Global Select Market LLC at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed by the Partnership and BMOCM.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Partnership may also sell Units from time to time to BMOCM as principal for its own account at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of Units to BMOCM as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate terms agreement between the Partnership and BMOCM.

The offer and sale of the Units will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the Partnership’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-188047) (the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2013.

In the Agreement, the Partnership agreed to indemnify BMOCM against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that BMOCM may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

The Agreement replaces the previous Equity Distribution Agreement, dated March 1, 2013, between BMOCM and the Partnership.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
