On April 29, 2016, Spectra Energy Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to its amended and restated revolving credit agreement dated as of November 1, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement” and, as amended by Amendment No. 1 as of December 11, 2014 and Amendment No. 2, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with a new lender named in Amendment No. 2, and the initial lenders and issuing banks named in the Credit Agreement and Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent. Amendment No. 2 extends the termination date of the revolving credit facility to April 29, 2021, which may be extended for up to two additional one-year periods at the request of the Partnership (subject to the agreement of the lenders having commitments representing more than 50% of the aggregate commitments of all lenders and of each lender extending its commitment). Additionally, Amendment No. 2 increases the aggregate commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement to $2.5 billion. Interest rates on borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement will be based on prevailing interest rates and the credit ratings of the Partnership, as described in the Amended Credit Agreement.

Certain of the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement and their respective affiliates perform various financial advisory, investment banking and commercial banking services from time to time for the Partnership and its affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expense reimbursement.
