Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangement of a Registrant. |
On August 24, 2007, Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. (the Company) entered into a Third Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Citicorp North America, Inc., as
Administrative Agent, and the other lenders named therein. The Credit Agreement refinances the
interim credit facility entered into by the Company on May 7, 2007 and provides for a $200.0
million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility), $125.0 million term loan A (the Term
Loan A) and $850.0 million term loan A-2 (the Term Loan A-2). The Company made initial
borrowings of $1.082 billion under the Credit Agreement to fully refinance the existing
interim credit facility and
pay fees, expenses and other transaction costs in connection with the Credit Agreement. Initial
borrowings under the Credit Agreement consisted of $107 million under the Revolving
Facility, $125
million under Term Loan A and $850 million under Term Loan A-2.
The Revolving
Facility matures on August 24, 2012 and may be used by the Company in the future
to fund acquisitions, issue letters of credit and for other general partnership purposes.
The Revolving Facility offers the following secured loans, each having different interest
requirements: (i) ABR loans (ABR Loans), bearing interest at (a) the Alternative Base Rate (a
rate per annum equal to the greater of (1) the annual interest rate publicly announced by Citibank,
N.A. as its base rate in effect at its principal office in New York, New York (the Prime Rate) in
effect on such day and (2) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%) plus
(b) the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans as noted below; and
(ii) Eurodollar loans (Eurodollar Loans),
bearing interest at a LIBO rate (equal to the rate per annum appearing at Reuters
Reference LIBOR01 page at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two business days prior to the
commencement of such Interest Period, as the rate for dollar deposits with a maturity comparable to
such interest period) plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Loans as noted below.
The
Term Loan A matures on August 24, 2012. All borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan A
will, at our option, be made and maintained as ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination
thereof. Any amount repaid under the Term Loan A may not be reborrowed.
The Term Loan A-2 matures on May 5, 2008. All borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan A-2
will bear interest at a LIBO rate plus 1.75% or if a LIBO rate is not available, the Alternate
Base Rate plus 0.25%. Under certain conditions, the initial lenders
under the Term Loan A-2 may also earn aggregate fees of up to
approximately $500,000 per quarter.
The
Credit Agreement permits the Company to refinance all or a portion of Term Loan A-2 with
the proceeds of a future term loan B (the Term Loan B); provided that
(i) the maturity date of such Term
Loan B shall be at least six (6) months after the Revolving Facility maturity date, (ii) the Term
Loan B may not be amortized in a manner which materially affects the Revolving
Facility and Term Loan A lenders, (iii) the principal amount of the Term Loan B may
not exceed the sum of
principal
of and all accrued and unpaid interest on Term Loan A-2 and in no event will the sum of all
commitments under the
Credit Agreement plus the principal of the Term Loan B exceed $1,200,000,000, (iv) the Term
Loan B is secured on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Facility and Term Loan A loans and is
entitled to pro rata payment, (v) the Administrative Agent or its affiliate is the administrative
agent with respect to the Term Loan B and (vi) the Term Loan B shall be upon the same terms and
conditions as Term Loan A-2 immediately prior to the Company entering into the Term Loan B.
The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature whereby the Company may increase the
Revolving Facility commitments and/or the Term Loan A commitments provided that (i) prior to and
after giving effect to any such increase, no default, event of default or material adverse effect
shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) each such increase is at least $10,000,000, (iii) the
aggregate cumulative increase in Revolving Facility and Term Loan A commitments does not exceed
$300,000,000, (iv) the sum of the commitments of all lenders plus the principal amount of any Term
Loan B does not exceed $1,200,000,000 and (v) the Company prepays the outstanding principal of the
Term Loan A-2 in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the full aggregate amount of such increase or
increases in the Revolving Facility and/or Term Loan A commitments and (b) the outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loan A-2, together with all accrued unpaid interest on the Term Loan
A-2.

Loan A is the rate per annum as follows:
