On
December 16, 2021, GIP III Stetson I, L.P., in its capacity as the sole member of EnLink Midstream Manager, LLC (the “Manager”),
the managing member of EnLink Midstream, LLC (“ENLC”), increased the size of the Board of Directors of the Manager (the “Manager
Board”) from eight to nine and elected and appointed Tiffany (“TJ”) Cepak as a director to serve on the Manager Board.
Ms. Cepak
will serve as an independent director. As an independent director, Ms. Cepak will be paid an annual retainer fee of $97,500 and
receive an annual equity award valued at $115,000. Directors do not receive an attendance fee for each regularly scheduled quarterly
board meeting or each additional meeting that they attend. In addition, directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with service on the Manager Board. Ms. Cepak will serve on the Audit Committee and on the Conflicts
Committee of the Manager Board.
Ms. Cepak most recently
served as the Chief Financial Officer of Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc., an oil and natural gas development and production company,
from August 2017 until its sale in October 2018. Ms. Cepak also served as the Chief Financial Officer of KLR Energy Acquisition
Corp. (and, subsequent to its business combination, Rosehill Resources Inc.) from January 2015 to June 2017
and as Chief Financial Officer of EPL Oil & Gas, Inc. from 2010 until June 2014, when EPL was sold. Ms. Cepak
previously held a number of other positions with EPL, since joining them in 2001, including Treasurer, Director of Investor Relations,
and Director of Corporate Reserves. Ms. Cepak began her career as a Senior Reservoir Engineer with Exxon Production Company and Exxon
Mobil Company with operational roles, including reservoir and subsurface completion engineering. Ms. Cepak currently serves on the

October 2015 to October 2016. Ms. Cepak holds a B.S. in Engineering from the University of Illinois and an MBA from Tulane
University. Ms. Cepak was selected to serve as a director due to, among other factors, her extensive experience in the energy
sector and her engineering, operational and finance experience.
Indemnification Agreement
ENLC has a practice of
entering into indemnification agreements (the “Indemnification Agreements”) with each of the Manager’s directors and
executive officers (collectively, the “Indemnitees”). In connection with her appointment to the Manager Board, ENLC entered
into an Indemnification Agreement with Ms. Cepak. Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreements, ENLC has agreed to indemnify
and hold the Indemnitee harmless, subject to certain conditions, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments,
fines, taxes (including ERISA excise taxes), penalties (whether civil, criminal, or other), interest, assessments, amounts paid or payable
in settlements, or other amounts and any and all “expenses” (as defined in the Indemnification Agreements) arising from any
and all threatened, pending, or completed claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, or alternative dispute mechanisms, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, arbitrative, investigative, or otherwise, whether made pursuant to federal, state, or local law, whether formal
or informal, and including appeals (each, a “proceeding”), in each case, in which the Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened
to be involved, as a party, a witness, or otherwise, including any inquiries, hearings, or investigations that the Indemnitee determines
might lead to the institution of any proceeding, related to the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director, manager, or officer of
ENLC or the Manager, or is or was serving at the request of ENLC or the Manager, each as applicable, as a manager, managing member, general
partner, director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, or agent of any other entity, organization, or person of any nature. ENLC has also agreed
to advance the expenses of an Indemnitee relating to the foregoing. To the extent that a change in the laws of the State of Delaware permits
greater indemnification under any statute, agreement, organizational document, or governing document than would be afforded under the
Indemnification Agreements as of the date of the Indemnification Agreements, the Indemnitee shall enjoy the greater benefits so afforded
by such change.
The
foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the complete text of the Form of Indemnification Agreement, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to ENLC’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 17, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2018,
and which is incorporated herein by reference.
