EXPLANATORY NOTE
          This Amendment No. 14 (this “Amendment”) to Schedule 13D/A last filed on August 2, 2010 (the “Schedule 13D/A”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relates to the common units (the “Common Units”) of Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Issuer”). The total number of Common Units reported as beneficially owned in the Schedule 13D/A is 25,061,874, which constitutes approximately 29.9% of the total number of Common Units outstanding. The beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons reported in the Schedule 13D/A are calculated based on (i) the outstanding number of Common Units on September 30, 2010, as reported by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 and filed with the SEC on November 2, 2010, and (ii) the number of Common Units issuable upon exercise of the warrants described in Items 4 and 5 below (the “Warrants”) held by such Reporting Person. The Schedule 13D/A is hereby amended and supplemented by the Reporting Persons as set forth below in this Amendment. Unless set forth below, all previous Items of the Schedule 13D/A are unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D/A.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Item 1 shall be deemed to amend and restate Item 1 in its entirety:
