Item 6 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

On April 30, 2013, the general partner of the Issuer entered into Amendment No. 4 (the “ETP LPA Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Issuer. The ETP LPA Amendment is attached as Exhibit T hereto. Under the ETP LPA Amendment, ETE, as the owner of the Issuer’s general partner, will forego incentive distributions relating to the distributions made on the Common Units issued in the Holdco Transaction for each of the first eight consecutive quarters beginning with the second quarter of 2013, as well as incentive distributions relating to the distributions made on 50% of the Common Units issued in the Holdco Transaction for each of the following eight consecutive quarters.

On March 23, 2012, ETE entered into a Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with Credit Suisse AG, as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Term Lenders”), which became effective on March 26, 2012. The Term Loan Agreement has a scheduled maturity date of March 26, 2017, with an option for ETE to extend the term subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. Pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, the Term Lenders have provided senior secured financing in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000,000. ETE shall not be required to make any amortization payments with respect to the term loans under the Term Loan Agreement. Under certain circumstances, ETE is required to repay the term loan in connection with asset sales yielding net proceeds in excess of $25,000,000.

On August 2, 2012, in connection with the Sigma Merger, ETE, certain subsidiaries of ETE, the several banks and other financial institutions party thereto (collectively, the “Consenting Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders entered into the Amendment No. 1 to the Term Loan Agreement (the “First Term Loan Amendment”) filed as Exhibit U hereto.

The First Term Loan Amendment amended the Term Loan Agreement to, among other matters:

 

   

permit the general partner of ETP to relinquish incentive distribution rights as contemplated by the Sigma Merger;

 

   

permit ETE and certain of its subsidiaries to relinquish incentive distribution rights in connection with future transactions provided that such relinquishment and proposed transaction, collectively, are not expected to adversely affect Pro Forma Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement);

 

   

amend the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) to include distributions received from non-wholly owned subsidiaries of ETE and entities that may be acquired in the future; and

 

   

amend the calculation of value for purposes of the loan to value covenant to account for non-wholly owned subsidiaries of ETE and entities that may be acquired in the future.

On April 25, 2013, in connection with the Holdco Transaction, ETE, certain subsidiaries of ETE, the several banks and other financial institutions party thereto (collectively, the “Consenting Term Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Term Lenders (the “Term Loan Administrative Agent”) entered into the Amendment No. 2 to the Term Loan Agreement (the “Second Term Loan Amendment”) filed as Exhibit V hereto.

The Second Term Loan Amendment amended the Term Loan Agreement to, among other matters:

 

   

delete the restrictions on ETE’s ability to transfer its indirect ownership of Southern Union Company (“Southern Union”);

 

   

reset the baskets for permitted sales of units in each of ETP and Regency Energy Partners LP (“Regency”) to reflect the amount owned directly or indirectly by ETE after giving effect to the Holdco Transaction;

 

   

permit the general partner of ETP to relinquish incentive distribution rights in connection with the Holdco Transaction; and

 

   

waive any mandatory prepayment under the Term Loan Agreement resulting from the receipt of proceeds from the Holdco Transaction; provided that, ETE applies such proceeds instead to repay amounts outstanding under each of the Bridge Loan Agreement (defined below) and ETE’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (defined below) to the extent set forth in the Second Term Loan Amendment.

The Term Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, including a change of control event of default and limitations on incurrence of liens, new lines of business, mergers, transactions with affiliates and restrictive agreements. The Term Loan Agreement also includes covenants limiting, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the ratio of the funded debt of ETE to the EBITDA (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) of ETE, measured for the preceding twelve months, to not more than 5.50 to 1.00. This requirement is subject to a provision for increases to 6.00 to 1.00 in connection with certain future acquisitions. In addition, the Term Loan Agreement includes a covenant limiting, as of the last day of each quarter, the ratio of EBITDA of ETE to fixed charges of ETE, measured for the preceding twelve months, to not less than 1.50 to 1.00. During the continuance of an event of default, the Term Lenders may take a number of actions, including declaring the entire amount then outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement due and payable.


CUSIP NO. 29273R109   SCHEDULE 13D/A   Page 9 of 12

 

All of the Common Units of ETP held directly by ETE are pledged as collateral under ETE’s Term Loan Agreement.

On April 1, 2013, ETE entered into a Senior Secured Bridge Term Loan Agreement attached as Exhibit W hereto (the “Bridge Loan Agreement”) with Credit Suisse AG, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Bridge Lenders (defined below)(the “Bridge Loan Administrative Agent”). The Bridge Loan Agreement provides ETE with secured financing in an aggregate principal amount of up to $275,000,000.

The maturity date of the Bridge Loan Agreement is June 28, 2013. ETE shall not be required to make any amortization payments with respect to the loans under the Bridge Loan Agreement. Amounts borrowed under the Bridge Loan Agreement will bear interest at either LIBOR or base rate plus an applicable margin based on the election of ETE for each interest period. The applicable margin for LIBOR rate loans is 2.50% and the applicable margin for base rate loans is 1.50%.

On April 25, 2013, ETE, certain subsidiaries of ETE, the several banks and other financial institutions party thereto (collectively, the “Consenting Bridge Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Bridge Lenders (as defined below) (the “Bridge Loan Administrative Agent”) entered into the Amendment No. 1 to the Bridge Loan Amendment by and among ETE, the Consenting Bridge Lenders (together with the other banks and financial institutions party thereto, the “Bridge Lenders”) and the Bridge Loan Administrative Agent attached as Exhibit X hereto.

delete the restrictions on ETE’s ability to transfer its indirect ownership of Southern Union;

 

   

reset the baskets for permitted sales of units in each of ETP and Regency to reflect the amount owned directly or indirectly by ETE after giving effect to the Holdco Transaction; and

 

   

permit the general partner of ETP to relinquish incentive distribution rights in connection with the Holdco Transaction.

ETE may voluntarily prepay the loans at any time without premium or penalty, subject to any applicable breakage costs for loans bearing interest at LIBOR. Under certain circumstances, ETE is required to repay the term loan in connection with (i) asset sales yielding net proceeds in excess of $25,000,000, (ii) the issuance by ETE of any indebtedness for borrowed money or (iii) the sale of any equity interests of ETE. The Bridge Loan Agreement also includes certain customary (i) affirmative covenants, including delivery of financial and other information to the administrative agent, notice to the administrative agent upon the occurrence of certain material events, preservation of existence, payment of material taxes and other claims, maintenance of properties and insurance, maintenance of books and records, access to properties and records for inspection by administrative agent and lenders, further assurances and provision of additional guarantees and (ii) negative covenants, including restrictions on ETE and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, grant liens or security interests on assets, make acquisitions, loans, advances or investments, pay dividends, sell or otherwise transfer assets, modify terms of organization documents or certain material agreements or enter into transactions with shareholders or affiliates, in each case substantially similar to the affirmative and negative covenants in ETE’s existing Term Loan Agreement. The Bridge Loan Agreement also requires the maintenance of (i) a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of 5.5 to 1.0 at any time with respect to ETE (subject to increases to 6.0 to 1.0 in connection with certain future specified acquisitions), and (ii) a minimum EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges ratio, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of 1.5 to 1.0 at any time. During the continuance of an event of default, the lenders under the Bridge Loan Agreement may take a number of actions, including declaring the entire amount then outstanding under the Bridge Loan Agreement due and payable.
