Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement
On September 10, 2019, Enterprise Products Operating LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“EPO”) and the operating subsidiary of Enterprise Products Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), entered into a 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement among EPO, as Borrower; Citibank, N.A. as Administrative Agent; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Mizuho Bank, Ltd., MUFG Bank, Ltd., Suntrust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Co-Syndication Agents; Barclays Bank PLC, Royal Bank of Canada, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Houston Branch, and The Toronto-Dominion Bank, New York Branch, as Co-Documentation Agents; and the lenders party thereto (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”). Under the terms of the 364-Day Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $1.5 billion (which may be increased by up to $200 million to $1.7 billion at EPO’s election, provided certain conditions are met) at a variable interest rate for a term of 364 days, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.
The 364-Day Credit Agreement replaces EPO’s existing 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2018 (which provided for an aggregate borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion and had a maturity date of September 11, 2019), among EPO, Citibank N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto.  EPO may use the proceeds from loans under the 364-Day Credit Agreement for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other company purposes.
EPO’s obligations under the 364-Day Credit Agreement are not secured by any collateral; however, they are guaranteed by the Partnership pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement (the “364-Day Guaranty Agreement”). Amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement mature on September 8, 2020, although EPO may, between 15 and 60 days prior to the maturity date, elect to have the entire principal balance then outstanding continued as non-revolving term loans for a period of one additional year, payable on September 8, 2021.
In addition to interest payments on outstanding borrowings, on a quarterly basis, EPO is required to pay a facility fee on each lender’s commitment irrespective of commitment usage. The facility fee amount and the applicable rate spread for loans under the 364-Day Credit Agreement will vary based on EPO’s senior debt credit rating.
The 364-Day Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants (affirmative and negative) and events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lenders to accelerate the maturity date of amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement. The 364-Day Credit Agreement also restricts EPO’s ability to pay cash distributions to the Partnership if an event of default (as defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing at the time such distribution is scheduled to be paid or would result therefrom.
The descriptions of the 364-Day Credit Agreement and the 364-Day Guaranty Agreement in this Item 1.01 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 364-Day Credit Agreement and the 364-Day Guaranty Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

First Amendment to Multi-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

On September 10, 2019, EPO entered into a First Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement among EPO, as Borrower; Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent; Citibank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Mizuho Bank, Ltd., MUFG Bank, Ltd., and Suntrust Bank, as Co-Syndication Agents; Barclays Bank PLC, Royal Bank of Canada, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Houston Branch, and The Toronto-Dominion Bank, New York Branch, as Co-Documentation Agents; and the lenders party thereto (the “First Amendment”).  The First Amendment amends that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated September 13, 2017 among the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Multi-Year Credit Agreement”).  The First Amendment reduces the borrowing capacity under the Multi-Year Credit Agreement from $4.0 billion to $3.5 billion (which may be increased by up to $500 million to $4.0 billion at EPO’s election provided certain conditions are met) and extends the maturity date out five years to September 10, 2024, although the maturity date may be extended at EPO’s request (up to two requests) for a one-year extension of the maturity date by delivering a request prior to the maturity date and with the consent of required lenders as set forth under the Multi-Year Credit Agreement.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
