Amendment to DEP-EPO Loan Agreement
On June 1, 2010, Duncan Energy Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”), as borrower, entered into a loan agreement with Enterprise Products Operating LLC (“EPO”), as lender (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Partnership may borrow up to $200 million. EPO is a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and beneficially owns 100% of DEP Holdings, LLC, which is our general partner.
On August 20, 2010, the Partnership and EPO executed the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”), extending the maturity date under the Loan Agreement from September 28, 2010 to December 31, 2010. The Amendment provides that the Partnership must repay the principal balance of the loan (together with accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts outstanding) under the amended Loan Agreement on the earliest of: (i) December 31, 2010; (ii) the date on which maturity may have been accelerated in accordance with the Loan Agreement; or (iii) the date on which EPO’s commitment is terminated in accordance with the Loan Agreement. All other terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement remain unchanged. As of August 19, 2010, there were $75 million in borrowings outstanding under the Loan Agreement. A copy of the Amendment is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
