Organic Nonmenclature

I have a few molecules I'm "iffy" about the IUPAC names for, if anyone can help me out.

 

 

Here's the first one...

 

The name I came up with is

 

1-chloro-3-ethyl-7(1-methylethyl)-6-methyldec-4-ene

On the first one, where the Cl is isn't a carbon, so you can't start from there. Start on the furthest to the left.

 

The second one looks like it should be in the heptane family.
