SCHEDULE 1.01(d)

SUMMARY OF THE INERGY TRANSACTIONS

Parent intends to acquire (the “Inergy Acquisition”) from Inergy, L.P. (“Inergy”) all of the Equity Interests of Inergy Propane, LLC (the “Inergy Target”), including certain wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Inergy Target and the assets of Inergy Sales and Services, Inc. (“Inergy Sales and Services”) pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, dated April 25, 2012 (the “Inergy Acquisition Agreement”), by and among Inergy, Inergy GP, LLC, Inergy Sales and Services and Parent. In connection therewith, it is intended that concurrently with or before the consummation of the Inergy Acquisition:

(i) Up to $600,000,000 of 7.375% Senior Notes of Parent due 2021 will be offered to Inergy’s noteholders in exchange for Inergy’s 6.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “7.375% Suburban Senior Notes”).

(ii) Up to $600,000,000 of 7.500% Senior Notes of Parent due 2018 will be offered to Inergy’s noteholders in exchange for Inergy’s 7.000% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “7.500% Suburban Senior Notes” and, together with the 7.375% Suburban Senior Notes, the “Exchange Notes”), (with the aggregate amount of the Exchange Notes not to exceed $1,000,000,000). There are outstanding in the aggregate $1,200,000,000 of Inergy Notes with each series (the 2018 and 2021 Inergy Senior Notes) having $600,000,000 in principal amount outstanding. Both series of Inergy Series Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Inergy Senior Notes”.

(iii) Up to $200,000,000 in cash is included as part of the exchange offer (the “Cash Consideration”). If all of the Inergy Senior Notes are tendered, each tenderor will receive bonds and all of the $200,000,000 of cash will be allocated among the tenderors. If greater than $1,000,000,000 of Inergy Senior Notes is tendered but less than $1,200,000,000, then each tenderor will get bonds and cash and the unallocated difference between $200,000,000 and the aggregate amount of cash paid to each tenderor will be paid to Inergy. If only $1,000,000,000 on Inergy Senior Notes is tendered, the full amount of the cash consideration will be paid to Inergy. Inergy and the Parent have agreed that any such cash payments due to Inergy shall be satisfied solely through the issuance to Inergy of new Common Units of Parent (the “Additional Equity Consideration”).

(iv) $600,000,000 of Common Units of Parent will be issued to Inergy and Inergy Sales and Services, approximately 99% of which will be distributed by Inergy to Inergy’s unit holders and the remaining portion will be held by Inergy or Inergy Sales and Services (the “Equity Consideration”). The Additional Equity Consideration will not exceed approximately $23,000,000 of new Common Units of Parent, approximately 99% of which will be distributed to Inergy’s common unit holders and the balance retained by Inergy.

(v) The Cash Consideration plus expenses in an amount not to exceed $50,000,000 will be financed with the proceeds of the 2012 Incremental Term Loans and cash on hand.

(vi) Pursuant to that certain Support Agreement, dated August 1, 2012, by and among Parent, Suburban Energy Finance Corp. and Inergy, Inergy will for tax purposes provide a guaranty with respect to the Exchange Notes that mature on October 1, 2018.

Lenders:    The 2012 Incremental Term Facility Lenders shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01 of the Credit Agreement, as amended.
Commitments:   

The 2012 Incremental Term Facility Commitments shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01 of the Credit Agreement, as amended.

 

The 2012 Incremental Term Facility Commitments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis by the amount of Net Cash Proceeds of any sale or issuance of Indebtedness or Equity Interests (other than the Exchange Notes and the Equity Consideration) by any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries after April 25, 2012 and prior to the borrowing of the 2012 Incremental Term Facility Loans. In addition, prior to any borrowing on the First Amendment Closing Date, the Borrower may, at its option, reduce the 2012 Incremental Term Facility Commitments on a pro rata basis.

Once paid or prepaid, the 2012 Incremental Term Loan may not be reborrowed; provided, however, that this paragraph is not intended to limit the ability of the Borrower to establish additional Incremental Term Loan Facilities in accordance with Section 2.16(a) of the Credit Agreement. Section 4.02 of the Credit Agreement shall not apply to the borrowing of the 2012 Incremental Term Loan on the First Amendment Closing Date. The borrowing of the 2012 Incremental Term Loan shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that, both before and after the consummation of the Transactions and the borrowing of the 2012 Incremental Term Loan and any other borrowing under the Credit Agreement on the First Amendment Closing Date, the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that are already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof); provided, however, that the accuracy of such representations and warranties shall not be a condition precedent to the availability of the 2012 Incremental Term Facility, except to the extent that such representations and warranties constitute Specified Representations.
Applicable Rate:   

The Applicable Rate for the 2012 Incremental Term Loans shall be as follows:

 

LIBOR – 3.00%

Base Rate – 2.00%

Maturity Date:    The 2012 Incremental Term Facility Maturity Date shall be the date which is the earlier of (x) the date which is 364 days after the First Amendment Closing Date and (y) November 16, 2013.

This commitment fee shall accrue at all times from June 15, 2012 until the earlier of (i) the termination of the 2012 Incremental Term Facility Commitments and (ii) the extension of the 2012 Incremental Term Facility Loans, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing June 30, 2012.
