Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	This Form 4 is jointly filed by (1) CONE Gathering LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("CONE") and owner of all the membership interests of CONE Midstream GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Issuer ("General Partner") and (2) Noble Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a 50% owner of CONE ("Noble").
(2)	In connection with the formation transactions of the Issuer and the Issuer's initial public offering ("IPO"), CONE was issued 9,038,121 common units and 29,163,121 subordinated units in the Issuer. Immediately following the closing of the IPO, CONE distributed to Noble, as its 50% member, 4,519,061 common units and 14,581,560 subordinated units representing Noble's previous indirect ownership interest in the Issuer. Thus, Nobel's indirect interest in 4,519,061 common units and 14,581,560 subordinated units was converted to a direct interest upon such distribution by CONE. As a result of the distribution, CONE no longer has a pecuniary interest in these units.
(3)	Following the closing of the IPO and the distribution described above, CONE owns CONE Midstream GP LLC, which in turn owns: (i) the 2% general partner interest in the Issuer, and (ii) incentive distribution rights in the Issuer.
(4)	Each subordinated unit will convert into one common unit at the end of the subordination period, as described in the Registration Statement.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
