(1) Southcross Holdings Borrower LP (Borrower) owns 26,492,074 common units representing limited partner interests (Common Units), 18,019,811 Class B convertible units representing limited partner interests (Class B Convertible Units) and 12,213,713 subordinated units representing limited partner interests (Subordinated Units) in the Issuer. Borrower is owned of record 100% by Southcross Holdings Guarantor LP (Guarantor), and its non-economic general partner interest is held by Southcross Holdings Borrower GP LLC, which is owned of record 100% by Guarantor. Guarantor is owned of record 99.98% by Southcross Holdings LP (Holdings), and its 0.02% general partner interest is held by Southcross Holdings Guarantor GP LLC, which is owned of record 99% by Holdings and 1% by Southcross Holdings Intermediary LLC, which is owned 100% by Holdings. Southcross Holdings GP LLC (Holdings GP) is the non-economic general partner of Holdings. Therefore, Holdings GP may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Common Units, Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units held by Borrower. The Class B Convertible Units convert into Common Units at the Class B Conversion Rate (as defined in the Issuers Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated August 4, 2014 (the Partnership Agreement), which is incorporated by reference herein) on the Class B Conversion Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). The Subordinated Units convert into Common Units on a one-for-one basis on the expiration of the Subordination Period (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). Because such Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units were acquired in connection with transactions having the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer, such Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units are considered converted for purposes of the calculations of the amounts noted under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(2) Based upon 48,559,258 Common Units, 18,019,811 Class B Convertible Units and 12,213,713 Subordinated Units outstanding as of August 15, 2017. For purposes of this calculation, the initial Class B Conversion Rate of 1.0 (i.e., one Common Unit for each Class B Convertible Unit) was used, although the Class B Conversion Rate may vary. See Item 1 of the Schedule 13D to which this cover page relates for a description of the securities to which this Schedule 13D relates.

The Subordinated Units convert into Common Units on a one-for-one basis on the expiration of the Subordination Period (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). Because such Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units were acquired in connection with transactions having the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer, such Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units are considered converted for purposes of the calculations of the amounts noted under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(2) Based upon 48,559,258 Common Units, 18,019,811 Class B Convertible Units and 12,213,713 Subordinated Units outstanding as of August 15, 2017. For purposes of this calculation, the initial Class B Conversion Rate of 1.0 (i.e., one Common Unit for each Class B Convertible Unit) was used, although the Class B Conversion Rate may vary. See Item 1 of the Schedule 13D to which this cover page relates for a description of the securities to which this Schedule 13D relates.
This Amendment No. 7 (this Amendment) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on August 14, 2014, as amended on May 21, 2015, February 18, 2016, April 6, 2016, May 5, 2016, August 17, 2016, and January 12, 2017 (as amended, the Original Schedule 13D and, as amended by this Amendment, this Schedule 13D), and is being jointly filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Common Units, Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units of Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. (SXE). This Amendment reports and reflects the acquisition of additional Class B Convertible Units. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The fifth paragraph of Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
On November 5, 2014, February 9, 2015, May 8, 2015, August 10, 2015, November 9, 2015, May 9, 2016, August 10, 2016, November 14, 2016, February 14, 2017, May 11, 2017, and August 11, 2017, Holdings received 256,078, 260,558, 265,118, 269,758, 274,478, 284,191, 289,165, 294,226, 299,375, 304,615, and 309,946 respectively, Class B PIK Units from the Issuer as distributions on the Class B Convertible Units pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Borrower was entitled to receive from the Issuer, within forty-five (45) days after the quarter ending December 31, 2015, a Class B Quarterly Distribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), consisting of a payment-in-kind distribution on outstanding Class B Convertible Units of additional Class B Convertible Units (the Class B PIK Units), in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. However, the Issuer did not timely make such Class B Quarterly Distribution. The Partnership Agreement provides that, notwithstanding the Issuers failure to make such Class B Quarterly Distribution, the holders entitled to the unpaid Class B PIK Units shall be entitled (i) to Class B Quarterly Distributions in subsequent quarters on such unpaid Class B PIK Units and (ii) to all other rights under the Partnership Agreement as if such unpaid Class B PIK Units had in fact been distributed on the date due (Unpaid Class B PIK Rights). On February 14, 2016, Borrower acquired Unpaid Class B PIK Rights equivalent to 279,303 Class B Convertible Units. The Issuer subsequently determined to issue such Class B Convertible Units and issued the 279,303 Class B Convertible Units on May 9, 2016. As of August 15, 2017, Holdings had received a total of 3,386,811 Class B PIK Units from the Issuer as distributions on the Class B Convertible Units.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The second paragraph of Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The Reporting Persons acquired 2,116,400 of the Common Units, Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units as part of the consideration for SXE to acquire TexStars Rich Gas System through the Drop-Down Contribution and to establish a structure for common ownership and control of the Common Units, Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units through Holdings, as a new holding company of SXE, and its general partner Holdings GP, both of which are owned by SELLC, EIG, and Aggregator. The Reporting Persons acquired an additional 4,500,000 Common Units as part of the consideration for SXE to acquire certain assets through the Holdings Drop-Down Contribution. The Reporting Persons acquired an additional 3,386,811 Class B PIK Units as distributions on the Class B Convertible Units, as described in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons acquired an additional 8,389,188 Common Units pursuant to the Equity Cure Agreement as an equity cure, as further described in Item 3 and Item 6. The Reporting Persons acquired an additional 11,486,486 Common Units in connection with the Fifth Amendment and pursuant to the Equity Cure Agreement, as further described in Item 3 and Item 6. As a result of the relationships described in Item 2 and Item 5 of this Schedule 13D, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared power to vote, or direct the disposition of, and to dispose, or direct the disposition of, the Common Units, Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units held of record by Borrower.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a and b) As of August 15, 2017, 48,559,258 Common Units, 18,019,811 Class B Convertible Units and 12,213,713 Subordinated Units are outstanding. The Class B Convertible Units convert into Common Units at the Class B Conversion Rate on the Class B Conversion Date; the initial Class B Conversion Rate is 1.0 (i.e., one
Common Unit for each Class B Convertible Unit). The Subordinated Units convert into Common Units on a one-for-one basis on the expiration of the Subordination Period. Because such Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units were acquired in connection with transactions having the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of SXE, such Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units are considered converted for purposes of the calculations of the amounts noted under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result of the relationship of the Reporting Persons, each of the Reporting Persons is deemed to be the beneficial owner, with shared power to vote or direct the vote and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition, of 56,725,598 Common Units, which constitutes approximately 72.0% of the outstanding Common Units (giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units).
Borrower was entitled to receive from the Issuer, within forty-five (45) days after the quarter ending December 31, 2015, a Class B Quarterly Distribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), consisting of a payment-in-kind distribution on outstanding Class B Convertible Units of Class B PIK Units, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. However, the Issuer did not timely make such Class B Quarterly Distribution. The Partnership Agreement provides that, notwithstanding the Issuers failure to make such Class B Quarterly Distribution, the holders entitled to the unpaid Class B PIK Units shall be entitled to Unpaid Class B PIK Rights. On February 14, 2016, Borrower acquired Unpaid Class B PIK Rights equivalent to 279,303 Class B Convertible Units. The Issuer subsequently determined to issue such Class B Convertible Units and issued the 279,303 Class B Convertible Units on May 9, 2016.
