In addition to obtaining the approval of the Board of Directors by written resolution signed by a majority of the Directors, decisions of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall require the approval of a majority of the Directors present at the meeting at which such decision is made. The chairman of the Board of Directors, if any, shall be elected by the Board of Directors.

(a) No later than five Business Days following the Partnership's receipt of written notice (the "Purchase Notice") from ENLK or any Investor requesting that the Partnership purchase Additional Series B Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investors shall take all necessary action to cause the Board of Directors to hold a special meeting to determine whether the Partnership will engage in negotiations with ENLK to purchase such Additional Series B Preferred Units.

(ii) If any of the TPG Investors, on the one hand, or the GS Investors, on the other hand, directly own any Registrable Securities, subject to Section 7.3, such Investor may exercise any rights it may have with respect to participating in (or withdrawing from) a "Piggyback Registration" pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, provided that the Investors will cooperate in good faith to facilitate the sale of Registrable Securities by such Investor, including with respect to any sales in which the TPG Investors and GS Investors both elect to participate in other than on a pro rata basis. Prior to any such exercise, such Investor (the "Notifying Investor") shall provide the other Investors with at least one Business Day's prior notice (a "Piggyback Notice") of the Notifying Investor's intention to include Registrable Securities in any offering pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement. Each Piggyback Notice shall specify the earliest time at which the Notifying Investor intends to include Registrable Securities in any such offering pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, as well as the aggregate number of Registrable Securities to be included by such Notifying Investor in such offering.
(c) Underwritten Offerings.
(i) For so long as the Partnership owns any Registrable Securities and is otherwise entitled to exercise its right to dispose of Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement (each, an "Underwritten Offering Right"), either the TPG Investors, on the one hand, or the GS Investors, on the other hand, upon delivery of a written notice to the Partnership and the other Investor, may request that the Partnership exercise an Underwritten Offering Right and the Partnership, no earlier than one Business Day following receipt of such request, will exercise an Underwritten Offering Right in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the other Investors, neither the TPG Investors, on the one hand, nor the GS Investors, on the other hand, shall have any right to request the Partnership dispose of Registrable Securities in a number of Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 6.2(c)(i) and Section 6.2(c)(ii) that is greater than such Investors' proportionate share (based on such Investors' then-current relative ownership of the Registrable Securities owned by all Investors) of the total number of Underwritten Offerings permitted under Section 2.3(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, rounded to the nearest whole number.
(ii) If any of the TPG Investors, on the one hand, or the GS Investors, on the other hand, directly own any Registrable Securities, subject to Section 7.3, such Investor may exercise any rights it may have as a Selling Holder to dispose of Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering under Section 2.3(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that such Investor provides written notice to the other Investor at least one Business Day prior to making any such request; provided, further, that without the prior written consent of the other Investors, neither the TPG Investors, on the one hand, nor the GS Investors, on the other hand, shall have any right to dispose of Registrable Securities in a number of Underwritten Offerings pursuant to Section 6.2(c)(i) and this Section 6.2(c)(ii) that is greater than such Investors' proportionate share (based on such Investors' then-current relative ownership of the Registrable Securities owned by all Investors) of the total number of Underwritten Offerings permitted under Section 2.3(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, rounded to the nearest whole number.
(d) Sale Procedures. Each Investor shall have the right, for so long as the Partnership owns Registrable Securities and such Investor owns Class A Units, upon delivery of a written notice to the Partnership and the other Investor, to request that the Partnership exercise its rights under Section 2.4(o) of the Registration Rights Agreement to request ENLK include in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information relating to such Investor as is included in such written notice, and the Partnership will make such request promptly following its receipt of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, in addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, if any Investor directly owns any Registrable Securities, such Investor shall be entitled to exercise any rights it may have as a Selling Holder under Section 2.4(o) of the Registration Rights Agreement.
(e) Cooperation. The Investors agree to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cooperate with each other with respect to all actions that the Investors are entitled to take in their capacity as a "Holder" under the Registration Rights Agreement, including, but not limited to, actions that may be taken under Sections 2.6, 2.8 and 2.9 of the Registration Rights Agreement. Additionally, in the event the Partnership or any Investor exercises any of its rights under this Section 6.2 with respect to the inclusion of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement, Piggyback Registration or Underwritten Offering, as applicable, the Investors shall cooperate with each other to include in such Registration Statement, Piggyback Registration or Underwritten Offering, as applicable, such number of Registrable Securities as is reasonably requested by the participating Investors in light of (i) the size of the applicable offering and (ii) each applicable Investor's then-current relative ownership of Registrable Securities as compared to the total Registrable Securities owned by all participating Investors.
Section 6.3. Tracking Events; Sales of Series B Conversion Units by the Partnership.
(a) Prior to the occurrence of each applicable Series B Conversion Date, the Investors agree to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cooperate with each other, and to cause the Partnership to take all action reasonably necessary, to cause an equivalent number of Class A Units to track the Series B Conversion Units issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Units on such Series B Conversion Date (each, a "Tracking Event"); provided, however, that no Investor shall be required to take any such action that such Investor determines is reasonably likely to adversely affect such Investor in a manner disproportionate to any other Investor; provided further, that to the extent that the Partnership elects to convert any Series B Preferred Units into Series B Conversion Units pursuant to the ENLK Partnership Agreement, such Series B Conversion Units shall be allocated among the Investors under Section 3.7 of the Partnership Agreement in accordance with their respective then-current Percentage Equity Interests (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).
(b) Following the occurrence of the initial Tracking Event, either the TPG Investors, on the one hand, or the GS Investors, on the other hand, upon delivery of written notice to the Partnership and the other Investors, may request that the Partnership sell any or all of the Series B Conversion Units held by the Partnership that are tracked by the Class A Units then held by such requesting Investor (each, a "Non-Pro Rata Disposition"). In the event any Investor requests a Non-Pro Rata Disposition, the Investors and the Partnership will cooperate in good faith to effect such Non-Pro Rata Disposition, including taking all necessary action to cause the Partnership to sell such Series B Conversion Units and distribute the proceeds to the requesting Investor in redemption of an equivalent number of the requesting Investor's Class A Units tracking such Series B Conversion Units as provided for in the Partnership Agreement.
ARTICLE VII.
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
Section 7.1. Restrictions on Transfer. Each Investor agrees that such Investor will not, without the prior written consent of the other Investors, Transfer all or any portion of the Securities now owned or hereinafter acquired by such Investor except in connection with, and strictly in compliance with, the terms and conditions of this Article VII.
Section 7.2. Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 7.3 and 7.4 shall not apply to any Transfer of Securities by an Investor to one or more of its Permitted Transferees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto shall avoid the provisions of this Agreement by (a) making one or more Transfers to one or more Permitted Transferees and then disposing of all or any portion of such party's interest in any such Permitted Transferee or (b) Transferring the securities of any entity holding Securities directly or indirectly.
Section 7.3. Tag-Along Rights.
(a) Subject to prior compliance with Section 7.4, if and to the extent applicable, if any Investor proposes to Transfer (each, a "Disposing Investor") any Securities (the "Tag-Along Securities") to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee or pursuant to Section 7.5, such Disposing Investor shall refrain from effecting such Transfer unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the other Investors (the "Tag-Along Investors") shall have been afforded the opportunity to join in such Transfer as provided in this Section 7.3.
(b) Prior to the consummation of any proposed Transfer of Tag-Along Securities, the Disposing Stockholder shall cause the Person or group of Persons that proposes to acquire such Securities (the "Proposed Purchaser") to offer (the "Purchase Offer") in writing to purchase from the other Investors a number of Securities of the same class as the Tag-Along Securities such that the number of Securities so offered to be purchased from such Investor shall be equal to the product of (i) the total number of the applicable Securities of such class then owned by such Investor multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Securities of such class proposed to be purchased by the Proposed Purchaser from all Investors and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Securities of such class then held by all Investors (for these purposes, all securities and other rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such Securities shall be deemed to have been so converted, exchanged, or exercised). Such purchase shall be made at the same price per Security and on such other terms and conditions as the Proposed Purchaser has offered to purchase the Tag-Along Securities to be sold by the Disposing Investor. Each Tag-Along Investor shall have five Business Days from the date of receipt of the Purchase Offer to accept such Purchase Offer (and, for the avoidance of doubt, each Tag-Along Investor shall be entitled to sell any number of Securities up to the number specified in the Purchase Offer), and the closing of such purchase shall occur simultaneously with the purchase of the Tag-Along Securities from the Disposing Investor. Unless the Proposed Purchaser agrees to purchase 100% of the Securities of such class offered to be sold by the Disposing Investor and the Tag-Along Investors, the number of such Securities to be sold to the Proposed Purchaser by the Disposing Investor shall be reduced by the aggregate number of such Securities purchased by the Proposed Purchaser from the Tag-Along Investors pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.3(b).
(c) Any Transfer of Securities by a Tag-Along Investor to the Proposed Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be on the same terms and conditions (including price, time of payment and form of consideration) as the Transfer of the Tag-Along Securities by the Disposing Investor to the Proposed Purchaser, provided that, in order to be entitled to exercise its tag along right pursuant to this Section 7.3, each Tag-Along Investor must agree to make to the Proposed Purchaser the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as those made by the Disposing Investor in connection with the relevant transaction and agree to the same conditions to the relevant transaction as will be agreed by the Disposing Investor, provided, however, that any indemnity provided by a Disposing Investor shall be limited to the proceeds actually received by such Disposing Investor in such transaction.
(d) The Investors agree that this Section 7.3 shall apply to any Rule 144 Transfers proposed to be undertaken by any Investor, and the Investors agree to cooperate in good faith to facilitate any such Rule 144 Transfers subject to, and in accordance with, the limitations of Section 144(e) of the Securities Act.
(e) The obligation to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.3 as a Disposing Investor shall not apply to any proposed Transfer of ENLK Units by an Investor if either (i) the TPG Investors (in their capacity as a Disposing Investor and not as a Tag-Along Investor) in the aggregate do not hold at least 10% of the ENLK Units to which the TPG Investors were entitled as of the Closing or (ii) the GS Investors (in their capacity as a Disposing Investor and not as a Tag-Along Investor) in the aggregate do not hold at least 10% of the ENLK Units to which the GS Investors were entitled as of the Closing.
(f) The requirements of this Section 7.3 shall not apply to (i) any Transfer of Securities by an Investor to one or more of its Permitted Transferees, (ii) any Transfer of Securities pursuant to Section 6.2 or the Registration Rights Agreement, and (iii) any Transfers of Securities to address a Regulatory Concern (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
Section 7.4. Right of First Offer.
(a) If any Investor (the "Transferring Holder") desires to Transfer (including indirectly by any of their direct or indirect equityholders) any Partnership Securities or shares of Common Stock, or any Series B Preferred Units (i) to address a Regulatory Concern (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or (ii) pursuant to a Transfer approved by ENLK, in each of (i) and (ii), pursuant to Section 5.05 of the Purchase Agreement (as applicable, the "ROFO Securities"), to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee of such Transferring Holder (other than pursuant to Section 7.5), then each non-transferring Investor (each, a "ROFO Offeree") shall have a right of first offer over such ROFO Securities, which shall be exercised in the following manner:
(i) The Transferring Holder shall provide the ROFO Offeree with written notice (a "ROFO Notice") of its desire to Transfer the ROFO Securities. The ROFO Notice shall set forth the number and type of ROFO Securities the Transferring Holder wishes to Transfer, the form of consideration to be received in respect thereof and any other terms and conditions material to the sale.
(ii) The ROFO Offeree shall have a period of up to 15 Business Days following receipt of the ROFO Notice (the "ROFO Election Period") to give the Transferring Holder a binding written offer (the "ROFO Offer") to purchase (or, at the option of the ROFO Offeree, to cause one or more of its Affiliates to purchase) all but not less than all of the ROFO Securities described in the ROFO Notice on the terms and subject to the conditions set specified in the ROFO Notice. The ROFO Offer shall include the price per ROFO Security, including the form of consideration in respect thereof (the "Transfer Consideration") and shall remain open and binding for 15 Business Days or such greater period of time as may be specified in the ROFO Offer.
(iii) If any ROFO Offeree makes a ROFO Offer within the ROFO Election Period and the Transferring Holder accepts such ROFO Offer during the period described in Section 7.4(a)(ii) above, such purchase shall be consummated on the later of (A) a mutually agreed Business Day within 15 days of the date on which the Transferring Holder notifies such ROFO Offeree of such acceptance, and (B) the fifth Business Day following the expiration or termination of all applicable periods under the requirements of the HSR Act or applicable foreign antitrust laws or satisfaction of other applicable legal requirements.
(iv) If no ROFO Offeree makes a ROFO Offer within the ROFO Election Period, or if the Transferring Holder does not accept the ROFO Offer, the Transferring Holder may Transfer all of the ROFO Securities specified in the ROFO Notice at any time within 120 days following the delivery of the ROFO Offer, or if no ROFO Offer was delivered, within 150 days of the delivery of the ROFO Notice (subject to extension as necessary to comply with the requirements of the HSR Act or applicable foreign antitrust laws or other applicable legal requirements) (A) at a price that is not less than 103% of the purchase price specified in the ROFO Offer and on economic terms and conditions that, taken as a whole, are not more favorable to the purchaser than those specified in the ROFO Offer (it being understood and agreed that the purchase price per ROFO Security shall be determined without regard to any agreed upon survival of representations or warranties, covenants, escrows or holdbacks or indemnification obligations that the Transferring Holder may agree to), or (B) if no ROFO Offer was delivered, at a price determined by the Transferring Holder, and on such other terms and conditions that are not more favorable to the purchaser than those specified in the ROFO Notice. Following the expiration of any time periods set forth in this Section 7.4(a)(iv), the Transferring Holder may not Transfer any such ROFO Securities without first following the procedures set forth in this Section 7.4.
(b) The receipt of Transfer Consideration by any Transferring Holder selling ROFO Securities pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Transferring Holder that: (i) such Transferring Holder has full right, title and interest in and to such ROFO Securities; (ii) such Transferring Holder has all necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary actions to sell such ROFO Securities as contemplated by this Section 7.4; and (iii) such ROFO Securities are free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances and other restrictions (other than the Transfer restrictions set forth herein, and restrictions created by any applicable federal or state securities laws).
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the requirements of this Section 7.4 shall only apply for so long as the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 5.05 of the Purchase Agreement are in effect.
Section 7.5. Call Right with Respect to Company Common Stock.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall have the right (the "Call Right"), at any time that an Investor and its Affiliates collectively cease to own a Minimum Ownership Percentage, to acquire all, but not less than all, of the shares of Common Stock owned by such Investor and its Affiliates for the aggregate purchase price paid by such Investor and its Affiliates for such shares. The Company may exercise the Call Right by providing an irrevocable written notice (the "Call Notice") to such Investor and its applicable Affiliates at least 30 days prior to the desired effective date of such purchase, which notice shall include (i) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Call Right and (ii) the aggregate purchase price to be paid for such shares. After delivery of such notice, (x) upon the approval of the Board of Directors, the Company may request an additional capital contribution from any Investor that, together with its Affiliates, continues to collectively own a Minimum Ownership Percentage in order to fund the Call Price, (y) the Company (or its designee) shall be obligated to pay the Call Price and close on such exercise of the Call Right as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and (z) such Investor (and its applicable Affiliates) shall promptly Transfer the applicable shares to the Company, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances and other restrictions, other than the Transfer restrictions set forth herein and restrictions created by any applicable federal or state securities laws, along with any other documentation reasonably requested by the Company to effect such Transfer.
(b) Each certificate representing shares of Common Stock, if any, shall bear substantially the following legend:
"The securities evidenced hereby are subject to a Call Right as set forth in that certain Coordination and Securityholders' Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2016, as amended, supplemented, modified or restated, from time to time (the "Securityholders' Agreement"). If such Call Right is exercised, the Company has the right (but not the obligation) to require certain holders of shares of Common Stock to tender all or a portion of their shares of Common Stock in exchange for the purchase price paid for such shares by such holders. Upon the Company's exercise of the Call Right, all of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Call Right shall be automatically transferred to the Company, without any further action required from any other holder of shares of Common Stock."
Section 7.6. Permitted Transferees. Any Permitted Transferee to which Securities are Transferred from an Investor shall be subject to the terms and conditions of, and be entitled to enforce, this Agreement to the same extent, and in the same capacity, as the Investor that Transferred such Securities to such Permitted Transferee. Subject to the foregoing, prior to the Transfer of any Securities to any Permitted Transferee, each holder of Securities effecting such Transfer shall (a) cause such Permitted Transferee to deliver to the other Investors its written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Investor, to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent described in the preceding sentence and (b) remain directly liable for the performance by the Permitted Transferee of all obligations of such Permitted Transferee under this Agreement. Each Permitted Transferee of any Investor to which Securities are Transferred shall, and such Investor shall cause such Permitted Transferee to, Transfer back to such Investor (or to another Permitted Transferee of such Investor) any Securities it owns if such Permitted Transferee ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such Investor.
Section 7.7. Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges that it shall be inadequate or impossible, or both, to measure in money the damage to the other parties hereto, if any of them or any Transferee fails to comply with any of the restrictions or obligations imposed by this Article VII, that every such restriction and obligation is material, and that in the event of any such failure, the parties shall not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Therefore, each party hereto consents to the issuance of an injunction or the enforcement of other equitable remedies against such party at the suit of an aggrieved party without the posting of any bond or other security, to compel specific performance of all of the terms of this Article VII and to prevent any Transfer of Securities in contravention of any terms of this Article VII, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, waives any defenses thereto, including the defenses of: (a) failure of consideration; (b) breach of any other provision of this Agreement; and (c) availability of relief in damages.
ARTICLE VIII.
DEADLOCK
Section 8.1. Disputes. If (a) a majority of the Directors are unable to reach agreement regarding any action pursuant to Section 6.1(b) hereof or (b) the Investors are unable to agree on the proper course of action with respect to any matter requiring the approval of the Investors as set forth in Article VI (each, a "Dispute"), then, upon receipt of a written request from any party, the TPG Investors, on the one hand, and the GS Investors, on the other hand, will consult and negotiate with each other in good faith to resolve the Dispute. If the Investors are unable to resolve such Dispute, then such Dispute shall be deemed to be a "Deadlock" and either Investor may initiate the procedures set forth in Section 8.2.
Section 8.2. Deadlock. If there is a Deadlock (and non-binding mediation is not sought by any party or such non-binding mediation has not resolved the applicable Dispute), the TPG Investors, on the one hand, or the GS Investors, on the other hand, shall have the right, upon delivery of written notice to the other Investors, to cause the Partnership to (a) distribute all of the ENLK Units held by the Partnership to its limited partners, (b) redeem all of the Partnership Securities owned by the Investors and (c) dissolve the Partnership, all in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The parties agree that the Company and the Investors will take all necessary action to cause the Partnership to effect the transactions contemplated by the preceding sentence as soon as reasonably practicable, and the parties will cooperate in good faith to ensure an orderly dissolution and winding up of the Partnership; provided, however, that the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, including, without limitation, Articles I, VI, VII and IX.
ARTICLE IX.
MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 9.2. No Restriction on Other Investor Activities.

Section 9.4. Regulatory Proceedings. The Partnership shall keep the Investors informed, on a current basis, of any events, discussions, notices or changes with respect to any tax (other than ordinary course communications which could not reasonably be expected to be material to the Partnership), criminal or regulatory investigation or action involving the Partnership, and shall reasonably cooperate with the Investors and their respective Affiliates in an effort to avoid or mitigate any cost or regulatory consequences to them that might arise from such investigation or action (including by reviewing written submissions in advance, attending meetings with authorities and coordinating and providing assistance in meeting with regulators).
