This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D modifies and supplements the Schedule 13D initially filed on July 3, 2008, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Statement filed on October 14, 2008 and Amendment No. 2 to the Statement filed on January 27, 2009 (the "Statement"), with respect to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Energy Partners, Ltd. (the “Company”). Except to the extent supplemented by the information contained in this Amendment No. 3, the Statement, as amended as provided herein, remains in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Statement.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons are participants in an ad hoc committee of holders of notes issued by the Issuer (the "Ad Hoc Committee"). The Reporting Persons believe that the Ad Hoc Committee is not a "group" for purposes of Rule 13D. One other member of the Ad Hoc Committee is a reporting person under Rule 13D based upon Common Stock that it holds in the Issuer. The Ad Hoc Committee has retained counsel, engaged in discussions with representatives of the Issuer and with stakeholders of the Issuer, proposed that the Ad Hoc Committee and the Issuer negotiate the terms of a transaction in which notes issued by the Issuer would be exchanged for equity in the Issuer and made proposals to the Issuer with respect to the composition of the Issuer's board of directors and other matters. The Reporting Persons anticipate that the Ad Hoc Committee will continue to engage in discussions and/or negotiations with representatives of the Issuer and with other stakeholders of the Issuer in the future. In addition, the Reporting Persons have engaged in discussions with other stakeholders of the Issuer and with representatives of the Issuer, including among others, members of the board of directors of the Issuer and anticipate that they will continue to engage in such communications in the future with such persons. The foregoing communications concerned, and such future communications are anticipated to concern, the performance and prospects of the Issuer, the views of the Ad Hoc Committee and of the Reporting Person's regarding such performance and prospects, proposals for a financial restructuring of the Issuer and other matters.

Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its position and/or change its purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
