Capitalize on Organic Growth Opportunities Associated with Our Strategically Located Assets.
We own and operate assets servicing four of the largest basins in the United States, including some of the most productive shale plays in these basins. We intend to grow our business and cash available for distribution by developing new midstream infrastructure projects to support new and existing customers if they expand beyond our current footprint. As a result of this strategy, we completed the Bradley Plant, a 200 MMcf/d processing facility located in Grady County, Oklahoma, during the first quarter of 2015.
We are constructing two cryogenic processing facilities to connect to our super-header system in Grady County, Oklahoma and Garvin County, Oklahoma, which are expected to add 400 MMcf/d of combined natural gas processing capacity. The first of the two new plants (the Bradley II Plant, formerly referred to as the Grady County Plant) is a 200 MMcf/d plant which is expected to be completed in the
second
quarter of 2016. The second plant (the Wildhorse Plant) is a 200 MMcf/d plant that is expected to be completed in
late 2017
.
To support these new processing facilities and other organic growth opportunities, we are also constructing natural gas gathering and compression infrastructure, natural gas transportation infrastructure and crude oil gathering infrastructure. In 2015, we finalized contracts for an expansion of EGT’s Line AD which will result in 75 MMcf/d of firm capacity deliveries to the Perryville Hub and Bennington, Oklahoma. For the year ended
December 31, 2015
, we invested $789 million in expansion capital expenditures, including the $80 million acquisition of assets from
Monarch Natural Gas, LLC
.
|
•
|
Continue to Minimize Direct Commodity Price Exposure Through Long-Term, Fee-Based Contracts.
We continually seek ways to minimize our exposure to commodity price risk, and management believes that our focus on fee-based revenues reduces our direct commodity price exposure and is essential to maintaining stable cash flows and increasing our quarterly distributions over time. For the year ended
December 31, 2015
,
81%
of our gross margin was generated from fee-based contracts. As we grow, we intend to maintain our focus on increasing the percentage of long-term, fee-based contracts with our customers.
|
•
|
Maintain Strong Customer Relationships to Attract New Volumes and Expand Beyond Our Existing Asset Footprint and Business Lines.
We plan to grow our business through our strong relationships with existing customers. Management believes that we have built a strong and loyal customer base through exemplary customer service and reliable project execution. We have invested in several organic growth projects in support of our existing and new customers. We work to maintain and build relationships with key producers and suppliers in an effort to attract new volumes and expansion opportunities.
|
•
|
Grow Through Accretive Acquisitions and Disciplined Development.
We plan to pursue accretive acquisitions of complementary assets that provide attractive potential returns in new operating regions or midstream business lines. We will continue to analyze acquisition opportunities using disciplined financial and operating practices, including a process for evaluating and managing risks to cash distributions.
|
•
|
Leverage the Scale of Our Existing Assets to Realize Synergies.
Given the complementary features of our assets, we expect operating synergies from the interconnection and optimization of our systems to increase our cash flows over time.

Anadarko Basin (Oklahoma, Texas Panhandle).
We currently operate in the liquids-rich Granite Wash, Cleveland, Tonkawa, Cana Woodford, SCOOP, STACK and Mississippi Lime plays. As of
December 31, 2015
, our assets include approximately
7,700
miles of natural gas gathering pipelines and
ten
natural gas processing plants with approximately
1.6
Bcf/d of processing capacity. We also have
two
processing plants under construction that will add
400
MMcf/d of processing capacity. For the year ended
December 31, 2015
, this system had average daily gathered throughput of approximately
1.59
TBtu/d of natural gas and produced
58.50
MBbl/d of NGLs. We currently serve over
200
producers in these areas and have secured
4.6 million
gross acres dedicated under fee-based long-term contracts in this basin. These contracts provide for gathering and compression services, which are typically fee-based, and processing services under fee-based, percent-of-liquids, percent-of-proceeds or keep-whole structures.

|
Arkoma Basin (Oklahoma, Arkansas).
In Oklahoma, we operate in the rich and lean gas areas of the western portion of the Arkoma basin. In Arkansas, we operate in the eastern Arkoma and the Fayetteville Shale play. As of
December 31,
|
•
|
Ark-La-Tex Basin (Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas).
In Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas, we operate primarily in the Haynesville, Cotton Valley and the lower Bossier plays. As of
December 31, 2015
, our assets include approximately
1,700
miles of natural gas gathering pipelines,
two
natural gas processing plants with approximately
545
MMcf/d of processing capacity, an NGL fractionation facility and approximately
40
miles of ethane pipelines. For the
year ended
December 31, 2015
,
this system had average daily gathered throughput of approximately
0.88
TBtu/d of natural gas and produced
10.07
MBbl/d of NGLs. We currently serve over
90
producers in these areas and have secured over
0.7 million
gross acres dedicated under long-term contracts in this basin. Additionally, in the lean gas area of the Haynesville Shale we have secured contracts that contain minimum volume commitment features, providing minimum revenues in periods of time when natural gas prices are depressed.

|
Williston Basin (North Dakota)
. In November 2013, we commenced operations on our initial crude oil gathering pipeline system, located in Dunn and McKenzie Counties in North Dakota, within the Bakken Shale formation. Additionally, in February 2014, we executed an agreement to gather crude oil production through a new system in Williams and Mountrail Counties in North Dakota which commenced operations in the second quarter of 2015.
The remaining portion of the system is expected to be placed in service during 2016 and 2017.
These systems will have a combined capacity of
49,500
barrels per day. A portion of these systems have contracts that contain minimum volume commitment features, providing minimum revenues when crude oil prices are depressed, and the remaining portion of these systems are supported by over
0.2 million
gross acres dedicated under long-term contracts with XTO Energy Inc. (XTO), an affiliate of Exxon Mobil Corporation, to provide crude oil gathering along with water transportation and other complementary services. For the
year ended
December 31, 2015
,
these crude oil gathering systems had average daily throughput of approximately
13.9
MBbl/d.

Neither our partnership agreement nor any other agreement requires CenterPoint Energy or OGE Energy to pursue a business strategy that favors us. The directors and officers of CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy have a fiduciary duty to make decisions in the best interests of the stockholders of their respective companies, which may be contrary to our interests. CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy may choose to shift the focus of their investment and growth to areas not served by our assets.
|
•
|
Our general partner is allowed to take into account the interests of parties other than us, such as CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy, in resolving conflicts of interest.
|
•
|
Some of the directors of our general partner are also directors of CenterPoint Energy or OGE Energy and will owe fiduciary duties to their respective companies. These individuals may also devote significant time to the business of CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy.
|
•
|
Our partnership agreement replaces the fiduciary duties that would otherwise be owed to us by our general partner with contractual standards governing its duties, limits our general partner’s liabilities and restricts the remedies available to our unitholders for actions that, without such limitations, might constitute breaches of fiduciary duty.
|
•
|
Except in limited circumstances, our general partner has the power and authority to conduct our business without unitholder approval.
|
•
|
Disputes may arise under our commercial agreements with CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy.
|
•
|
Our general partner determines the amount and timing of asset purchases and sales, borrowings, issuances of additional partnership units and the creation, reduction or increase of cash reserves, each of which can affect the amount of distributable cash flow.
|
•
|
Our general partner determines the amount and timing of any capital expenditures and whether a capital expenditure is classified as a maintenance capital expenditure, which reduces operating surplus, or an expansion or investment capital expenditure, which does not reduce operating surplus. This determination can affect the amount of cash that is distributed to our unitholders and the ability of the subordinated units to convert to common units.
|
•
|
Our general partner determines which costs incurred by it and its affiliates are reimbursable by us.
|
•
|
Our general partner may cause us to borrow funds in order to permit the payment of cash distributions, even if the purpose or effect of the borrowing is to make a distribution on the subordinated units, to make incentive distributions or to accelerate the expiration of the subordination period.
|
•
|
Our partnership agreement permits us to classify up to $300 million as operating surplus, even if it is generated from asset sales, non-working capital borrowings or other sources that would otherwise constitute capital surplus. This cash
|
•
|
Our partnership agreement does not restrict our general partner from causing us to pay it or its affiliates for any services rendered to us or entering into additional contractual arrangements with any of these entities on our behalf.
|
•
|
Our general partner intends to limit its liability regarding our contractual and other obligations.
|
•
|
Our general partner may exercise its right to call and purchase all of the common units not owned by it and its affiliates if they own more than
90% of the common units. If our general partner and its affiliates reduce their ownership percentage to below 70% of the outstanding units, the ownership threshold to exercise the call right will be permanently reduced to 80%
.
|
•
|
Our general partner controls the enforcement of the obligations that it and its affiliates owe to us.
|
•
|
Our general partner decides whether to retain separate counsel, accountants or others to perform services for us.
|
•
|
Our general partner may transfer its incentive distribution rights without unitholder approval.
|
•
|
Our general partner may elect to cause us to issue common units to it in connection with a resetting of the target distribution levels related to our general partner’s incentive distribution rights without the approval of the conflicts committee of the Board of Directors or our unitholders. This election may result in lower distributions to our common unitholders in certain situations.
|
•
|
how to allocate corporate opportunities among us and its other affiliates;
|
•
|
whether to exercise its limited call right;
|
•
|
whether to seek approval of the resolution of a conflict of interest by the conflicts committee of the Board of Directors;
|
•
|
whether to elect to reset target distribution levels;
|
•
|
whether to transfer the incentive distribution rights to a third party; and
|
•
|
whether or not to consent to any merger or consolidation of the Partnership or amendment to the partnership agreement.
|
•
|
whenever our general partner, the Board of Directors or any committee thereof (including the conflicts committee) makes a determination or takes, or declines to take, any other action in their respective capacities, our general partner, the Board of Directors and any committee thereof (including the conflicts committee), as applicable, is required to make such determination, or take or decline to take such other action, in good faith, meaning that it subjectively believed that the decision was in the best interests of the Partnership, and, except as specifically provided by our partnership agreement, will not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by our partnership agreement, Delaware law, or any other law, rule or regulation, or at equity;
|
•
|
our general partner will not have any liability to us or our unitholders for decisions made in its capacity as a general partner so long as such decisions are made in good faith;
|
•
|
our general partner and its officers and directors will not be liable for monetary damages to us or our limited partners resulting from any act or omission unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that our general partner or its officers and directors, as the case may be, acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the conduct was criminal; and
|
•
|
our general partner will not be in breach of its obligations under the partnership agreement (including any duties to us or our unitholders) if a transaction with an affiliate or the resolution of a conflict of interest is:
|
•
|
approved by the conflicts committee of the Board of Directors, although our general partner is not obligated to seek such approval;
|
•
|
approved by the vote of a majority of the outstanding common units, excluding any common units owned by our general partner and its affiliates;
|
•
|
determined by the Board of Directors to be on terms no less favorable to us than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties; or
|
•
|
determined by the Board of Directors to be fair and reasonable to us, taking into account the totality of the relationships among the parties involved, including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to us.
|
•
|
our existing unitholders’ proportionate ownership interest in us will decrease;
|
•
|
the amount of distributable cash flow on each unit may decrease;
|
•
|
because a lower percentage of total outstanding units will be subordinated units, the risk that a shortfall in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution will be borne by our common unitholders will increase;
|
•
|
because the amount payable to holders of incentive distribution rights is based on a percentage of the total distributable cash flow, the distributions to holders of incentive distribution rights will increase even if the per unit distribution on common units remains the same;
|
•
|
the ratio of taxable income to distributions may increase;
|
•
|
the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding unit may be diminished; and
|
•
|
the market price of the common units may decline.
|
•
|
we were conducting business in a state but had not complied with that particular state’s partnership statute; or
|
•
|
a unitholder's right to act with other unitholders to remove or replace our general partner, to approve some amendments to our partnership agreement or to take other actions under our partnership agreement constitutes “control” of our business.

The Partnership uses the market approach to fair value its gas imbalance assets and liabilities at individual, or where appropriate an average of, current market indices applicable to the Partnership’s operations, not to exceed net realizable value. Gas imbalances held by EOIT are valued using an average of the Inside FERC Gas Market Report for Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Co. (Texas, Oklahoma Mainline), ONEOK (Oklahoma) and ANR Pipeline (Oklahoma) indices. There were
no
netting adjustments as of
December 31, 2015
and
2014
.
|
(2)
|
Gas imbalance assets exclude fuel reserves for under retained fuel due from shippers of
$6 million
and
$4 million
at
December 31, 2015
and
2014
, respectively, which fuel reserves are based on the value of natural gas at the time the imbalance was created and which are not subject to revaluation at fair market value.
|
(3)
|
Gas imbalance liabilities exclude fuel reserves for over retained fuel due to shippers of
$5 million
and
$1 million
at
December 31, 2015

Amounts in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value amount of the Partnership equity based unit awards granted to each named executive officer. The grant date fair value amount is computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 based on the probable achievement level of the underlying performance conditions as of the grant date. Please refer to the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table for 2015 and the accompanying footnotes. Assuming achievement of the performance goals at the maximum level, the grant date fair value of the performance units granted in 2015 and included in this column would be $797,150 for Ms. Farmer, $1,765,939 for Mr. Sailor, $797,150 for Mr. Schroeder and $1,882,952 for Mr. Weissgarber. Assuming achievement of the performance goals at the maximum level, the grant date fair value of the performance units granted in 2014 and included in this column would be $2,076,006 for Mr. Sailor and $692,019 for Mr. Schroeder. Awards granted to Ms. Farmer in 2014 are restricted unit awards and calculated
based on the closing price of the Partnership's common units, as reported on the NYSE on the grant date.

In connection with Mr. Bourdon’s May 29, 2015 departure, Mr. Bourdon and the Partnership negotiated a severance agreement that was consistent with the severance terms agreed upon at the time of his hiring, which terms provided for a lump-sum cash payment equal to his annual salary of $600,000; his annual target bonus of $600,000; plus an allowance of $7,241 representing 6 months of the Partnership portion of COBRA insurance coverage. This lump-sum payment was offset by $50,801 for an erroneous payment made prior to his departure. In addition, the remaining 150,000 restricted common units granted to Mr. Bourdon at the time of his hire that had not yet vested were accelerated at a value of $2,127,000, and 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 were vested at a value of $1,335,000. The lump-sum cash payment is reflected in All Other Compensation, but the accelerated vesting is included in the 2015 Option Exercises and Stock Vested Table.

Amounts in columns (c), (d) and (e) of the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table for 2015 above represent the threshold, target and maximum amounts that would be payable to named executive officers pursuant to the 2015 annual incentive awards made under the Enable Midstream Partners, LP Short- Term Incentive Plan. The short-term incentive plan was designed with a funding trigger that requires threshold performance for the plan to payout. If threshold performance is not met, no payments will be made. For each performance measure, established thresholds were set (at which 50% payout would be made), a target level of performance (at which a 100% payout would be made) and a maximum level of performance (at or above which a 150% payout would be made) based on eligible earnings. The award may be increased or decreased at the Compensation Committee's discretion based on the performance of the named executive officer, but the award may not exceed 200% of the named executive officer's target. As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above, the amount that each executive officer will receive is dependent upon Partnership performance against a distributable cash flow per unit target (50%), operations & maintenance expense (30%) and a safety target (20%).
|
(2)
|
Amounts in columns (f), (g) and (h) above represent awards of performance units under Enable Midstream Partners, LP Long-Term Incentive Plan. All payouts of such performance units will be made in units and any accumulated distribution equivalent rights will be paid in cash. Due to their variable nature, accumulated distribution equivalent rights are not disclosed in the table above. The conditions of the 2015 award entitle the named executive officer to receive from 0 percent to 200 percent of the performance units granted depending upon the Partnership’s total unitholder return over a three-year period (defined as unit price increase (decrease) since December 31, 2014 plus distributions paid, divided by unit price at December 31, 2014) measured against the total unitholder return for such period of our performance peer group consisting of 18 companies. At the end of the three-year period (i.e., December 31, 2017), the terms of these performance units provide for payout of 100 percent of the performance units initially granted if the Partnership's total unitholder return is at the 50th percentile of the peer group, with higher payouts for performance above the 50th percentile up to 200 percent of the performance units granted if total unitholder return is at or above the 90th percentile of the peer group. The terms of these performance units provide for payouts of less than 100 percent of the performance units granted if the Partnership's total unitholder return is below the 50th percentile of the peer group, with no payout for performance below the 30th percentile.
|
(3)
|
Amounts reflect the grant date fair value based on a probable value of these awards or target value, of 100% payout. See Note 17 to the financial statements for further information.
|
(4)
|
This award was received upon Mr. Weissgarber's employment with the Partnership, which was effective on January 5, 2015. This award was forfeited upon Mr. Weissgarber’s resignation on February 11, 2016.

The Administrator will establish and maintain such other records and accounts, as it decides in its discretion to be reasonably required or appropriate to discharge its duties under the Plan.
|
6.2
|
Credits to Account.
A Participant’s Account will be credited for each Plan Year with the amount of his elective deferrals under Section 4.1 at or within a reasonable time following the time the amount subject to the deferral election would otherwise have been payable to the Participant and the amount of Employer contributions treated as allocated on his behalf under Article 5.
|

|

The amount credited to each Account shall be treated as invested in the investment options designated for this purpose by the Administrator.
|
7.2
|
Adjustment of Accounts.
The amount credited to each Account shall be adjusted for hypothetical investment earnings, expenses, gains or losses in an amount equal to the earnings, expenses, gains or losses attributable to the investment options selected by the party designated in Section 9.01 of the Adoption Agreement from among the investment options provided in Section 7.1. If permitted by Section 9.01 of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary after the death of the Participant) may, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator, select the investments from among the options provided in Section 7.1 to be used for the purpose of calculating future hypothetical investment adjustments to the Account or to future credits to the Account under Section 6.2 effective as of the Valuation Date coincident with or next following notice to the Administrator. Each Account shall be adjusted as of each Valuation Date to reflect: (a) the hypothetical earnings, expenses, gains and losses described above; (b) amounts credited pursuant to Section 6.2; and (c) distributions or withdrawals. In addition, each Account may be adjusted for its allocable share of the hypothetical costs and expenses associated with the maintenance of the hypothetical investments provided in Section 7.1.
|

|
Vesting.
A Participant, at all times, has a 100% nonforfeitable interest in the amounts credited to his Account attributable to his elective deferrals made in accordance with Section 4.1.
|
8.2
|
Death.
The Plan Sponsor may elect to accelerate vesting upon the death of the Participant in accordance with Section 7.01(c) of the Adoption Agreement and/or to accelerate distributions upon Death in accordance with Section 6.01(b) or Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement. If the Plan Sponsor does not elect to accelerate distributions upon death in accordance with Section 6.01(b) or Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement, the vested amount credited to the Participant’s Account will be paid in accordance with the provisions of Article 9.
|
8.3
|
Disability.
If the Plan Sponsor has elected to accelerate vesting upon the occurrence of a Disability in accordance with Section 7.01(c) of the Adoption Agreement and/or to permit distributions upon Disability in accordance with Section 6.01(b) or Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement, the determination of whether a Participant has incurred a Disability shall be made by the Administrator in its sole discretion in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
|
9.1
|
Amount of Benefits.
The vested amount credited to a Participant’s Account as determined under Articles 6, 7 and 8 shall determine and constitute the basis for the value of benefits payable to the Participant under the Plan.
|
9.2
|
Method and Timing of Distributions.
Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9, distributions under the Plan shall be made in accordance with the elections made or deemed made by the Participant under Article 4. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.6 requiring a six month delay for certain distributions to Key Employees, distributions following a payment event shall commence at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement. If permitted by Section 6.01(g) of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may elect, at least twelve months before a scheduled distribution event, to delay the payment date for a minimum period of sixty months from the originally scheduled date of payment, provided the election does not take effect for at least twelve months from the date on which the election is made. The distribution election change must be made in accordance with procedures and rules established by the Administrator. The Participant may, at the same time the date of payment is deferred, change the form of payment but such change in the form of payment may not effect an acceleration of payment in violation of Code Section 409A or the provisions of Reg. Sec. 1.409A-2(b). For purposes of this Section 9.2, a series of installment payments is always treated as a single payment and not as a series of separate payments.
|
9.3
|
Unforeseeable Emergency.
A Participant may request a distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency if the Plan Sponsor has elected to permit Unforeseeable Emergency withdrawals under Section 8.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement. The request must be in writing and must be submitted to the Administrator along with evidence that the circumstances constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. The Administrator has the discretion to require whatever evidence it deems necessary to determine whether a distribution is warranted, and may require the Participant to certify that the need cannot be met from other sources reasonably available to the Participant. Whether a Participant has incurred an Unforeseeable Emergency will be determined by the Administrator on the basis of the relevant facts and circumstances in its sole discretion, but, in no event, will an Unforeseeable Emergency be deemed to exist if the hardship can be relieved: (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (b) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (c) by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. A distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need and may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, foreign or local income taxes and penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. The distribution will be made in the form of a single lump sum cash payment. If permitted by Section 8.01(b) of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant’s deferral elections for the remainder of the Plan Year will be cancelled upon a withdrawal due to an Unforeseeable Emergency. If the payment of all or any portion of the Participant’s vested Account is being delayed in accordance with Section 9.6 at the time he experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, the amount being delayed shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 9.3 until the expiration of the six month period of delay required by section 9.6.
|
9.4
|
Payment Election Overrides.
If the Plan Sponsor has elected one or more payment election overrides in accordance with Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement, the following provisions apply. Upon the occurrence of the first event selected by the Plan Sponsor, the remaining vested amount credited to the Participant’s Account shall be paid in the form designated to the Participant or his Beneficiary regardless of whether the Participant had made different elections of time and /or form of payment or whether the Participant was receiving installment payments at the time of the event.
|
9.5
|
Cashouts Of Amounts Not Exceeding Stated Limit.
If the vested amount credited to the Participant’s Account does not exceed the limit established for this purpose by the Plan Sponsor in Section 6.01(e) of the Adoption Agreement at the time he incurs a Separation from Service for any reason, the Employer shall distribute such amount to the Participant at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement in a single lump sum cash payment following such Separation from Service regardless of whether the Participant had made different elections of time or form of payment as to the vested amount credited to his Account or whether the Participant was receiving installments at the time of such termination. A Participant’s Account, for purposes of this Section 9.5, shall include any amounts described in Section 1.3.
|
9.6
|
Required Delay in Payment to Key Employees
. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.6, a distribution made on account of Separation from Service (or Retirement, if applicable) to a Participant who is a Key Employee as of the date of his Separation from Service (or Retirement, if applicable) shall not be made before the date which is six months after the Separation from Service (or Retirement, if applicable). If payments to a Key Employee are delayed in accordance with this Section 9.6, the payments to which the Key Employee would otherwise have been entitled during the six month period shall be accumulated and paid in a single lump sum at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement after the six month period elapses.

If the Plan Sponsor has elected to permit distributions upon a Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply. A distribution made upon a Change in Control will be made at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement in the form elected by the Participant in accordance with the procedures described in Article 4. Alternatively, if the Plan Sponsor has elected in accordance with Section 11.02 of the Adoption Agreement to require distributions upon a Change in Control, the Participant’s remaining vested Account shall be paid to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement as a single lump sum payment. A Change in Control, for purposes of the Plan, will occur upon a change in the ownership of the Plan Sponsor, a change in the effective control of the Plan Sponsor or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Plan Sponsor, but only if elected by the Plan Sponsor in Section 11.03 of the Adoption Agreement. The Plan Sponsor, for this purpose, includes any corporation identified in this Section 9.7. All distributions made in accordance with this Section 9.7 are subject to the provisions of Section 9.6.
|
(a)
|
Relevant Corporations.
To constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the Plan, the event must relate to (i) the corporation for whom the Participant is performing services at the time of the Change in Control, (ii) the corporation that is liable for the payment of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan (or all corporations liable if more than one corporation is liable) but only if either the deferred compensation is attributable to the performance of services by the Participant for such corporation (or corporations) or there is a bona fide business purpose for such corporation (or corporations) to be liable for such payment and, in either case, no significant purpose of making such corporation (or corporations) liable for such
|
(b)
|
Stock Ownership.
Code Section 318(a) applies for purposes of determining stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the individual who owns the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option). If, however, a vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(b) and (j)) the stock underlying the option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option.
|
(c)
|
Change in the Ownership of a Corporation.
A change in the ownership of a corporation occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of such corporation. If any one person or more than one person acting as a group is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of a corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation (or to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation as discussed below in Section 9.7(d)). An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the corporation acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock. Section 9.7(c) applies only when there is a transfer of stock of a corporation (or issuance of stock of a corporation) and stock in such corporation remains outstanding after the transaction. For purposes of this Section 9.7(c), persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time or as a result of a public offering. Persons will, however, be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the corporation. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a corporation only with respect to ownership in that corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.
|
(d)
|
Change in the effective control of a corporation.
A change in the effective control of a corporation occurs on the date that either (i) any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the corporation possessing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of such corporation, or (ii) a majority of members of the corporation’s board of directors is replaced during any twelve month
|
(e)
|
Change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets.
A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined in accordance with rules similar to those set forth in Section 9.7(d)), acquires (or has acquired during the twelve month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the corporation that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the corporation or the value of the assets being disposed of determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. There is no Change in Control event under this Section 9.7(e) when there is a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the transferring corporation immediately after the transfer. A transfer of assets by a corporation is not treated as a change in ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to (i) a shareholder of the corporation (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock, (ii) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, (iii) a person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the corporation, or (iv) an entity, at least fifty (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in Section 9.7(e)(iii). For purposes of the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided, a person’s status is determined immediately after the transfer of assets.
|
9.8
|
Permissible Delays in Payment.
Distributions may be delayed beyond the date payment would otherwise occur in accordance with the provisions of Articles 8 and 9 in any of the following circumstances as long as the Employer treats all payments to similarly situated Participants on a reasonably consistent basis.
|
(a)
|
The Employer may delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that its deduction with respect to such payment would be limited or eliminated by the application of Code Section 162(m). Payment must be made during the Participant’s first taxable year in which the Employer reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if the payment is made during such year the deduction of such payment will not be barred by the application of Code Section 162(m) or during the period beginning with the Participant’s Separation from Service and ending on the later of the last day of the Employer’s taxable year in which the Participant separates from service or the 15th day of the third month following the Participant’s Separation from Service. If a scheduled payment to a Participant is delayed in accordance with this Section 9.8(a), all scheduled payments to the Participant that could be delayed in accordance with this Section 9.8(a) will also be delayed.
|
(b)
|
The Employer may also delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws provided payment is made at the earliest date on which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation.
|
(c)
|
The Employer reserves the right to amend the Plan to provide for a delay in payment upon such other events and conditions as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.
|
9.9
|
Permitted Acceleration of Payment
.
The Employer may permit acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment or amount scheduled to be paid pursuant to a payment under the Plan provided such acceleration would be permitted by the provisions of Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(j)(4), including the following events:
|
(a)
|
Domestic Relations Order.
A payment may be accelerated if such payment is made to an alternate payee pursuant to and following the receipt and qualification of a domestic relations order as defined in Code Section 414(p).
|
(b)
|
Compliance with Ethics Agreements and Legal Requirements.
A payment may be accelerated as may be necessary to comply with ethics agreements with the Federal government or as may be reasonably necessary to avoid the violation of Federal, state, local or foreign ethics law or conflicts of laws, in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
|
(c)
|
De Minimis Amounts.
A payment will be accelerated if (i) the amount of the payment is not greater than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B), (ii) at the time the payment is made the amount constitutes the Participant’s entire interest under the Plan and all other plans that are aggregated with the Plan under Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c)(2).
|
(d)
|
FICA Tax.
A payment may be accelerated to the extent required to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(2) of the Code with respect to compensation deferred under the Plan (the “FICA Amount”). Additionally, a payment may be accelerated to pay the income tax on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 of the Code on the FICA Amount and to pay the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding Code Section 3401 wages and taxes. The total payment under this subsection (d) may not exceed the aggregate of the FICA Amount and the income tax withholding related to the FICA Amount.
|
(e)
|
Section 409A Additional Tax.
A payment may be accelerated if the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A; provided that such payment may not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
|
(f)
|
Offset.
A payment may be accelerated in the Employer’s discretion as satisfaction of a debt of the Participant to the Employer, where such debt is incurred in the ordinary course of the service relationship between the Participant and the Employer, the entire amount of the reduction in any of the Employer’s taxable years does not exceed $5,000, and the reduction is made at the same time and in the same amount as the debt otherwise would have been due and collected from the Participant.
|
(g)
|
Other Events.
A payment may be accelerated in the Administrator’s discretion in connection with such other events and conditions as permitted by Code Section 409A.
|
10.1
|
Amendment by Plan Sponsor.
The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend the Plan (for itself and each Employer) through action of its Board of Directors. No amendment can directly or indirectly deprive any current or former Participant or Beneficiary of all or any portion of his Account which had accrued and vested prior to the amendment.
|
10.2
|
Plan Termination Following Change in Control or Corporate Dissolution.
If so elected by the Plan Sponsor in 11.01 of the Adoption Agreement, the Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan and distribute all amounts credited to all Participant Accounts within the 30 days preceding or the twelve months following a Change in Control as determined in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 9.7. For this purpose, the Plan will be treated as terminated only if all agreements, methods, programs and other arrangements sponsored by the Related Employer immediately after the Change in Control which are treated as a single plan under Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c)(2) are also terminated so that all participants under the Plan and all similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve months of the date the Plan Sponsor irrevocably takes all necessary action to terminate the arrangements. In addition, the Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan within twelve months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code Section 331 or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U. S. C. Section 503(b)(1)(A) provided that amounts deferred under the Plan are included in the gross incomes of Participants in the latest of (a) the calendar year in which the termination and liquidation occurs, (b) the first calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (c) the first calendar year in which payment is administratively practicable.
|
10.3
|
Other Plan Terminations.
The Plan Sponsor retains the discretion to terminate the Plan if (a) all arrangements sponsored by the Plan Sponsor that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Code Section 409A and Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c)(2) are terminated, (b) no payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the arrangements if the termination had not occurred are made within twelve months of the termination of the arrangements, (c) all payments are made within twenty-four months of the date the Plan Sponsor takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the arrangements, (d) the Plan Sponsor does not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder at any time within the three year period following the date of termination of the arrangement, and (e) the termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Plan sponsor. The Plan Sponsor also reserves the right to amend the Plan to provide that termination of the Plan will occur under such conditions and events as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.
|
11.1
|
Establishment of Trust.
The Plan Sponsor may but is not required to establish a trust to hold amounts which the Plan Sponsor may contribute from time to time to correspond to some or all amounts credited to Participants under Section 6.2. In the event that the Plan Sponsor wishes to establish a trust to provide a source of funds for the payment of Plan benefits, any such trust shall be constructed to constitute an unfunded arrangement that does not affect the status of the Plan as an unfunded plan for purposes of Title I of ERISA and the Code.
If the Plan Sponsor elects to establish a trust in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Adoption Agreement, the provisions of Sections 11.2 and 11.3 shall become operative.
|
11.2
|
Rabbi Trust.
Any trust established by the Plan Sponsor shall be between the Plan Sponsor and a trustee pursuant to a separate written agreement under which assets are held, administered and managed, subject to the claims of the Plan Sponsor’s creditors in the event of the Plan Sponsor’s insolvency. The trust is intended to be treated as a rabbi trust in accordance with existing guidance of the Internal Revenue Service, and the establishment of the trust shall not cause the Participant to realize current income on amounts contributed thereto. The Plan Sponsor must notify the trustee in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency.
|
11.3
|
Investment of Trust Funds.
Any amounts contributed to the trust by the Plan Sponsor shall be invested by the trustee in accordance with the provisions of the trust and the instructions of the Administrator. Trust investments need not reflect the hypothetical investments selected by Participants under Section 7.1 for the purpose of adjusting Accounts and the earnings or investment results of the trust need not affect the hypothetical investment adjustments to Participant Accounts under the Plan.
|
12.1
|
Powers and Responsibilities of the Administrator.
The Administrator has the full power and the full responsibility to administer the Plan in all of its details, subject, however, to the applicable requirements of ERISA. The Administrator’s powers and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
(a)
|
To make and enforce such rules and procedures as it deems necessary or proper for the efficient administration of the Plan;

To decide all questions concerning the Plan and the eligibility of any person to participate in the Plan;
|
(d)

(g)
|

|
(i)
|
To appoint such agents, counsel, accountants, and consultants as may be required to assist in administering the Plan;
|
(j)
|
By written instrument, to allocate and delegate its responsibilities, including the formation of an Administrative Committee to administer the Plan.
|

|
Claims and Review Procedures.
|
(a)
|
Claims Procedure.
|
(b)
|
Review Procedure.
|
(c)
|
Exhaustion of Claims Procedures and Right to Bring Legal Claim
|
12.3
|
Plan Administrative Costs.
All reasonable costs and expenses (including legal, accounting, and employee communication fees) incurred by the Administrator in administering the Plan shall be paid by the Plan to the extent not paid by the Employer.
|
13.1
|
Unsecured General Creditor of the Employer.
Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of the Employer. For purposes of the payment of benefits under the Plan, any and all of the Employer’s assets shall be, and shall remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Employer. Each Employer's obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.
|
13.2
|
Employer’s Liability
.
Each Employer’s liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan shall be defined only by the Plan and by the deferral agreements entered into between a Participant and the Employer. An Employer shall have no obligation or liability to a Participant under the Plan except as provided by the Plan and a deferral agreement or agreements. An Employer shall have no liability to Participants employed by other Employers.
|
13.3
|
Limitation of Rights
.
Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any amendment thereof, nor the creation of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits, will be construed as giving to the Participant or any other person any legal or equitable right against the Employer, the Plan or the Administrator, except as provided herein; and in no event will the terms of employment or service of the Participant be modified or in any way affected hereby.
|
13.4
|
Anti-Assignment
.
Except as may be necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order within the meaning of Code Section 414(p), none of the benefits or rights of a Participant or any Beneficiary of a Participant shall be subject to the claim of any creditor. In particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such benefits and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment, or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary. Neither the Participant nor his or her Beneficiary shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any of the payments which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan, except the right to designate a Beneficiary to receive death benefits provided hereunder. Notwithstanding the preceding, the benefit payable from a Participant’s Account may be reduced, at the discretion of the administrator, to satisfy any debt or liability to the Employer.
|
13.5
|
Facility of Payment
.
If the Administrator determines, on the basis of medical reports or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrator, that the recipient of any benefit payments under the Plan is incapable of handling his affairs by reason of minority, illness, infirmity or other incapacity, the Administrator may direct the Employer to disburse such payments to a person or institution designated by a court which has jurisdiction over such recipient or a person or institution otherwise having the legal authority under State law for the care and control of such recipient. The receipt by such person or institution of any such payments therefore, and any such payment to the extent thereof, shall discharge the liability of the Employer, the Plan and the Administrator for the payment of benefits hereunder to such recipient.
|
13.6
|
Notices.
Any notice or other communication to the Employer or Administrator in connection with the Plan shall be deemed delivered in writing if addressed to the Plan Sponsor at the address specified in Section 1.03 of the Adoption Agreement and if either actually delivered at said address or, in the case or a letter, 5 business days shall have elapsed after the same shall have been deposited in the United States mails, first-class postage prepaid and registered or certified.
|
13.7
|
Tax Withholding
.
If the Employer concludes that tax is owing with respect to any deferral or payment hereunder, the Employer shall withhold such amounts from any payments due the Participant or from amounts deferred, as permitted by law, or otherwise make appropriate arrangements with the Participant or his Beneficiary for satisfaction of such obligation. Tax, for purposes of this Section 13.7 means any federal, state, local or any other governmental income tax, employment or payroll tax, excise tax, or any other tax or assessment owing with respect to amounts deferred, any earnings thereon, and any payments made to Participants under the Plan.
|
13.8
|
Indemnification.
(a) Each Indemnitee (as defined in Section 13.8(e)) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Employer for all actions taken by him and for all failures to take action (regardless of the date of any such action or failure to take action), to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the jurisdiction in which the Employer is incorporated, against all expense, liability, and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (as defined in Subsection (e)). No indemnification pursuant to this Section shall be made, however, in any case where (1) the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness or (2) there is a settlement to which the Employer does not con-sent.
|
(b)
|
The right to indemnification provided in this Section shall include the right to have the expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in defending any Proceeding paid by the Employer in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the jurisdiction in which the Employer is incorporated; provided that, if such law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only on delivery to the Employer of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced without interest if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not en-titled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise.
|
(c)
|
Indemnification pursuant to this Section shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be such and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors, and admin-istrators. The Employer agrees that the undertakings made in this Section shall be binding on its successors or assigns and shall survive the termination, amendment or restatement of the Plan.
|
(d)
|
The foregoing right to indemnification shall be in addition to such other rights as the Indemnitee may enjoy as a matter of law or by reason of insurance coverage of any kind and is in addition to and not in lieu of any rights to indemnifi-cation to which the Indemnitee may be entitled pursuant to the by-laws of the Employer.
|
(e)
|
For the purposes of this Section, the fol-lowing definitions shall apply:
|
(1)
|
"Indemnitee" shall mean each person serving as an Administrator (or any other person who is an employee, director, or officer of the Employer) who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding, by reason of the fact that he is or was performing administrative functions under the Plan.
|
(2)
|
"Proceeding" shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding (including, without limitation, an action, suit, or proceeding by or in the right of the Employer), whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or through arbitration.
|
13.9
|
Successors
.
The provisions of the Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Plan Sponsor, the Employer and their successors and assigns and the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries.
|
13.10
|
Disclaimer.
It is the Plan Sponsor’s intention that the Plan comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. Neither the Plan Sponsor nor the Employer shall have any liability to any Participant should any provision of the Plan fail to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A.
|
13.11

The Vesting Date will be no earlier than January 1st and no later than June 30th, each of the calendar year immediately following the end of the Performance Period. The foregoing notwithstanding, if you have a Qualifying Termination (as defined below) before the Vesting Date, you may vest in all or portion of this Award as described in Section 4. On the Vesting Date you will be paid Units equal to the number of earned Performance Units (and your Performance Units will be cancelled on the Vesting Date), which will be transferred to a third-party non-retirement brokerage account established for you at Fidelity (your “
Brokerage Account
”). In addition, at the time of such payment in respect of the earned Performance Units, you will also be paid a cash distribution equivalent payment in an amount equal to the product of: (i) the number of Units paid to you; and (ii) the aggregate amount of DERs for the DER Period, without interest.

|
(c)
|
If you terminate your Employment prior to the Vesting Date due to your Retirement, then the pro rata portion of the Phantom Units will vest on the date of your Retirement.

|
(d)
|
The Phantom Units granted pursuant to this Agreement are intended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and ambiguous provisions hereof, if any, shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, if your Award is considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and as of the date of your Retirement or Qualifying Termination (other than due to death) you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) as determined by the Partnership, then payment of the Units earned by you due to your Retirement or Qualifying Termination (other than due to death) will be paid to you on the earlier of (1) the date that is six months and two days following the date of your Retirement or Qualifying Termination (other than due to death) or (2) the date of your death.
