Explanation of Responses:

1. The common units representing limited partnership interests and subordinated units representing limited partnership interests were issued to Crosstex Energy Holdings Inc. upon the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering December 17, 2002.

2. Jack M. Lafield is the Senior Vice President--Business Development of Crosstex Energy GP, LLC, the general partner of Crosstex Energy, L.P., which is the general partner of the Issuer. Mr. Lafield beneficially owns securities in Crosstex Energy Holdings Inc., representing approximately 0.44% of the voting power thereof. Crosstex Energy Holdings Inc., directly and indirectly, owns the general partner of the Issuer, which owns a 2% general partner interest in the Issuer. In addition, Crosstex Energy Holdings Inc. owns 333,000 of the Issuer's common units representing limited partner interests and 4,667,000 of the Issuer's subordinated units representing limited partnership interests. As a result, Jack M. Lafield may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of a portion of the common units and subordinated units owned by Crosstex Energy Holdings Inc.

3. These securities convert on a 1 for 1 basis.

4. The subordination period will end once the financial tests are met in the Issuer's partnership agreement. When the subordination period ends, each remaining subordinated unit will convert into one common unit.

5. 25% of these units will vest on each of the third and fourth anniversary of July 31, 2003, and the remaining 50% will vest on the fifth anniversary of July 31, 2003.

6. This option vests in three equal installments on December 17, 2003, 2004, and 2005.
