In connection with Mr. Bourdon’s departure from Enable GP, Mr. Bourdon and the Partnership agreed to negotiate a severance agreement that is consistent with the severance terms agreed upon at the time of his hiring.

On July 15, 2015, the Partnership and Mr. Bourdon entered into a separation agreement that is consistent with the severance terms agreed upon at the time of his hiring. The terms of the separation agreement provide for cash payments of (i) $1,200,000, which is equal to his annual salary of $600,000 plus his annual target bonus of $600,000 and (ii) $7,242, which constitutes the Partnership’s portion of COBRA coverage at active employee rates for six months. In addition, (i) the remaining 150,000 restricted common units granted to Mr. Bourdon at the time of his hire that have not yet vested will vest, and (ii) one-half of the 150,000 restricted common units granted to Mr. Bourdon in connection with the Partnership’s initial public offering in April 2014 will vest, in accordance with the terms of the grants for termination without cause. The separation agreement also includes noncompetition and nonsolicitation restrictions for six months, as well as confidentiality and cooperation provisions. Pursuant to the cooperation provisions, Mr. Bourdon has agreed to make himself reasonably available to the Partnership to respond to requests for information and to assist and cooperate in connection with legal proceedings, if any.
