On June 22, 2006, our wholly-owed subsidiary, Enterprise Products Operating L.P. (the Operating Partnership), executed a second amendment (the Second Amendment) to its Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) dated as of August 25, 2004. The Operating Partnerships borrowings under its Credit Agreement are unsecured general obligations of the Operating Partnership that are non-recourse to our general partner. We have guaranteed repayment of amounts due under the Credit Agreement through an unsecured guarantee.
The Second Amendment extends the maturity date of amounts borrowed under the Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility from October 2010 to October 2011 with respect to $1.2 billion of the commitments. Borrowings with respect to the remaining $48 million in commitments mature in October 2010.
The Second Amendment also increases the aggregate principal amount of swingline loans available to the Operating Partnership from $20 million to $75 million (without increasing the overall $1.25 billion of commitments under the Credit Agreement). The swingline loans will bear interest at LIBOR plus the applicable spread prior to the acquisition by any lender of a participation therein, and will bear interest at the greater of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50% upon and following the acquisition by any lender of a participation therein.
In addition, the Second Amendment modifies the Operating Partnership's financial covenants to, among other things, allow the Operating Partnership to include in the calculation of its Consolidated EBITDA pro forma adjustments for material projects.
The parties to the Credit Agreement are Enterprise Products Operating L.P., Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, CitiBank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Co-Syndication Agents, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., SunTrust Bank and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Co-Documentation Agents, Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, CitiGroup Global Markets Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Securities, Inc., as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners, and the Lenders party thereto.
