Covenant description                   The credit facility contains certain financial, operational and legal covenants. Among other things, these covenants include maintaining a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to EnLink's consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit facility, which definition includes projected EnLink EBITDA from certain capital expansion projects) of no more than 5.0 to 1.0. If EnLink consummates one or more acquisitions in which the aggregate purchase price is $50 million or more, the maximum allowed ratio of consolidated indebtedness to EnLink's consolidated EBITDA will increase to 5.5 to 1.0 for the quarter of the acquisition and the three following quarters.   The financial covenants will be tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter, and include (i) maintaining a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility, but generally computed as the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges) of 4.00 to 1.00, provided that the maximum consolidated leverage ratio is 4.50 to 1.00 during an acquisition period (as defined in the credit facility) and (ii) maintaining a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility, but generally computed as the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges to consolidated interest charges) of 2.50 to 1.00 at all times prior to the occurrence of an investment grade event (as defined in the credit facility).
