EXPLANATORY NOTE:
Northern Border Partners, L.P. files this amended report to correct one
typographical error in a report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April
4, 2006. In the interest of clarity, this amended report amends and restates in
its entirety that previously filed report. The previously filed report
incorrectly described the Northern Border Pipeline Company Revolving Credit
Agreement as a "$200 million Revolving Credit Agreement," when the Northern
Border Pipeline Company Revolving Credit Agreement should be described as a
"$175 million Revolving Credit Agreement."
ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
Northern Border Partners, L.P. owns a 70 percent general partner interest in
Northern Border Pipeline Company. On March 29, 2005, Northern Border Pipeline
Company ("Northern Border Pipeline"), entered into an amendment (the "First
Amendment") to their $175 million Revolving Credit Agreement with the lenders
named therein and with Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative
Agent, SunTrust Bank, as Syndication Agent, Harris Nesbit Financing, Inc.,
Barclays Bank PLC, and Citibank, N.A. as Co-Documentation Agents; and Wachovia
Capital Markets, LLC and SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc. as Co-Lead Arrangers and
Book Managers ( the "NBPL Amended Credit Agreement"). As of April 4, 2006, $7
million in borrowings were outstanding under the NBPL Amended Credit Agreement.
The First Amendment amends the definition of "Change in Control" to modify the
requirement that Northern Border Partners, L.P. own an interest in Northern
Border Pipeline Company from greater than 50% to at least a 50% interest.
The description of the First Amendment set forth under this Item 1.01 is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of
the First Amendment itself, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is
incorporated herein by reference.
