Neither the
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. In addition, CenterPoint Energy is the holder of our Series A Preferred Units and may favor its interests in voting in favor of actions relating to such units, including voting in favor of making distributions on such Series A Preferred Units even if no distributions are made on the common units.
|
•
|
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 officers and/or 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 or OGE Energy, respectively.
|
•
|
The
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.
|
•
|
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 incentive distributions.
|
•
|
The
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 may be used to fund distributions to our general partner in respect of the incentive distribution rights.
|
•
|
The
Partnership Agreement
does not prohibit 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 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.

Under a firm arrangement, a customer agrees to pay a fixed fee for a contractually agreed upon pipeline or storage capacity, which results in performance obligations for each individual period of reservation. Once the services have been completed, or the customer no longer has access to the contracted capacity, revenue is recognized.
|
•
|
Under a minimum volume commitment arrangement, a customer agrees to pay the contractually agreed upon gathering, compressing and treating fees for a minimum volume of natural gas or crude oil irrespective of whether or not the minimum volume of natural gas or crude oil is delivered, which results in performance obligations for each individual unit of volume. If the actual volumes exceed the minimum volume of natural gas or crude oil, the customer pays the contractually agreed upon gathering, compressing and treating fees for the excess volumes in

Contract assets reflected in Total Accounts Receivable include accrued minimum volume commitments. Contract assets decreased
$21 million
compared to January 1, 2018 due to increased throughput on certain minimum volume commitment arrangements resulting in lower recognized contract assets as of
December 31, 2018
. Total Accounts Receivable does not include
$3 million
of contract assets related to firm transportation contracts with tiered rates, which are reflected in Other Assets.

Total Accounts Receivable includes Accounts receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and Accounts receivable—affiliated companies.

|
Under certain firm arrangements, customers pay their demand fee prior to the month of contracted capacity. These fees are applied to the subsequent month’s activity and are included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
|
•
|
Under certain demand and volume dependent arrangements, customers make contributions of aid in construction payments. For payments that are related to contracts under ASC 606, the payment is deferred and amortized over the life of the associated contract and the unamortized balance is included in other current or long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Natural gas and natural gas liquids purchase arrangements - For certain arrangements within our gathering and processing segment, the Partnership purchases and controls the entire hydrocarbon stream at the point of receipt. As of January 1, 2018, these arrangements are considered supplier contracts rather than contracts with customers. Therefore, beginning January 1, 2018, the gathering and processing fees for these arrangements that were previously recognized as Service revenues under ASC 605 are recognized as reductions to Cost of natural gas and natural gas liquids.
|
•
|
Percent-of-proceeds and percent-of-liquids processing arrangements - Under percent-of-proceeds and percent-of-liquids arrangements within our gathering and processing segment, the Partnership has previously recognized the value of natural gas and natural gas liquids received in our purchase cost within Cost of natural gas and natural gas liquids. As of January 1, 2018, the Partnership recognizes the value of the natural gas and NGLs received as Service revenues and as an increase to Cost of natural gas and natural gas liquids when the natural gas or NGLs are sold and Product sales are recognized.
|
•
|
Keep-whole arrangements - Under keep-whole arrangements within our gathering and processing segment, the Partnership has previously recognized the value of NGLs received in Product sales and the value of the thermally equivalent quantity of natural gas provided in our purchase cost within Cost of natural gas and natural gas liquids. As of January 1, 2018, the Partnership recognizes the value of the NGLs received less the value of the thermally equivalent volume of natural gas provided as Service revenues and as an increase to Cost of natural gas and natural gas liquids when the NGLs are sold and Product sales are recognized.
|
•
|
Fixed fuel arrangements - Under certain gathering arrangements within our gathering and processing segment as well as under certain transportation arrangements within our transportation and storage segment we receive a fixed amount of fuel regardless of actual fuel usage. Previously, revenue for fuel in excess of actual usage was recognized when such fuel was received, and additional revenue was recognized when such fuel was sold. As of January 1, 2018, fuel in excess of actual usage is treated as a byproduct obtained through the fulfillment of a contract, and

|
Natural gas and natural gas liquids sales arrangements - For certain arrangements within our gathering and processing segment, the Partnership sells the entire hydrocarbon stream at the point of delivery to a third-party processing facility. As of January 1, 2018, these arrangements are considered sales once control has transferred to the third-party processing facility. Therefore, beginning January 1, 2018, the costs and fees for these arrangements that were previously recognized as a component of cost of gas and natural gas liquids, are recognized as reductions to the transaction price under ASC 606.

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 of performance unit awards 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
2018
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
2018
and included in this column would be $3,318,502 for Mr. Sailor, $1,295,888 for Mr. Laws, $749,524 for Ms. Farmer, $1,057,009 for Mr. C. Harris, and $748,852 for Mr. Schroeder. Assuming achievement of the performance goals at the maximum level, the grant date fair value of the performance units granted in
2017
and included in this column would be $2,969,584 for Mr. Sailor, $1,020,578 for Mr. Laws, $698,191 for Ms. Farmer, $668,129 for Mr. C. Harris, and $696,572 for Mr. Schroeder. Assuming achievement of the performance goals at the maximum level, the grant date fair value of the performance units granted in
2016
and included in this column would be $4,324,134 for Mr. Sailor, $1,324,256 for Mr. Laws, $975,938 for Ms. Farmer, $1,498,802 for Mr. C. Harris, and $975,938 for Mr. Schroeder. The grant date fair value amount of phantom unit awards is computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.

Amounts in columns (c), (d) and (e) of the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table for
2018
above represent the threshold, target and maximum amounts that would be payable to named executive officers pursuant to the
2018
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 target (50%), operations & maintenance and general & administrative expense (30%) and an aggregate 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 to the extent earned. Due to their variable nature, accumulated distribution equivalent rights are not disclosed in the table above. The conditions of the
2018
award provide that the executive officer will receive from 0% to 200% of the performance units awarded depending upon the Partnership’s total unitholder return of a group of 16 peer companies over a performance period from January 1,
2018
through December 31,
2020
. Total unit holder return includes both price appreciation and cash distributions over the performance period. Price appreciation is determined by comparing the average closing price of units of the Partnership or any company in the peer group for the 20 trading days preceding the performance period and for the last 20 trading days during the performance period. Cash distributions for the Partnership or any company in the peer group are assumed to have been reinvested in additional units on the date two days prior to the distribution record date. At the end of the performance period, the terms of these performance units provide for payout of 100% 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% 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% 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 in column (i) above represent the number of phantom unit awards granted to each of our named executive officers under the Enable Midstream Partners, LP Long-Term Incentive Plan.
|
(4)
|
Amounts reflect the grant date fair value based on a probable value of these awards or target value, of 100% payout. See Note 18 to the financial statements for further information.

Number of Performance Units
. You have been granted the target number of Performance Units of
[Number of Awards Granted]
(“
Target Performance Units
”), subject to your acceptance of this Award as provided in Section 16 below. Appendix I describes the manner in which the total number of Performance Units (if any) that you earn will be calculated (subject to the vesting requirements described below). The actual number of Performance Units earned under this Award may be more or less depending on the Partnership’s performance as described in this Agreement and Appendix I.
|
2.
|
Date of Grant
. The grant date of the Performance Units is
[Grant Date]
(“
Date of Grant
”).
|
3.
|
Vesting and Payment of Award
. The Performance Units are subject to a vesting requirement (in addition to the performance requirement described in Appendix I). The Performance Units earned as described in Appendix I shall become vested on the distribution date of the Award following the end of the Performance Period as determined by the Committee (the “
Vesting Date
”), provided that your Employment continue at all times from the Date of Grant up to and including the Vesting Date. 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 with the Plan Administrator (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.
|
4.
|
Termination of Employment Prior to Vesting Date
.
|
a.
|
Forfeiture of Performance Units Upon Termination
. In the event your Employment is terminated for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination or Retirement prior to the Vesting Date, the Performance Units shall automatically and immediately be forfeited and cancelled on the date of such termination.
|
b.
|
Disability or Termination Due To Death
. If, prior to Vesting Date, you experience a Disability or a Qualifying Termination as a result of your death, then you will earn your Target Performance Units as of the date of your Qualifying Termination or Disability. Units equal to your Target Performance Units will be paid to you or your beneficiary (and your Performance Units will be cancelled upon such payment date) by transfer to your Brokerage Account, along with a cash payment to you or your beneficiary in the amount of the DERs (as described in Section 3), as soon as practicable following, but in no event more than 30 days after, such termination date or disability date.
|
c.
|
Retirement
.
|
i.
|
If you terminate your Employment due to your Retirement prior to the end of the Performance Period, then you will earn a pro rata number of the Performance Units as provided in Appendix I and the resulting Units will be paid to you (and the Performance Units will be cancelled) as otherwise provided in Section 3. The number of Performance Units that you will earn will be determined by multiplying the full number of Performance Units as provided in Appendix I by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the period beginning on the first day of the Performance Period and ending on the date of your Retirement and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days during the Performance Period (rounded up to the next whole number).
|
ii.
|
If you terminate your Employment due to your Retirement after the end of the Performance Period but prior to the Vesting Date, then you will earn the Performance Units as provided in Appendix I and the resulting Units will be paid to you (and the Performance Units will be cancelled) as otherwise provided in Section 3.
|
5.
|
Change of Control Event
. If a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period and (i) your Employment has not terminated as of the Vesting Date or (ii) you experience a Qualifying Termination other than due to death before the Vesting Date, then you will earn Performance Units equal to the greater of: (1) your Target Performance Units or (2) the number of Performance Units earned as provided in Appendix I and the resulting Units will be paid to you (and the Performance Units will be cancelled) as provided in Section 3.
