Summary of SPECTRA ENERGY PARTNERS, LP

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 7, 2009, Spectra Energy Partners OLP, LP ("SEP OLP"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spectra Energy Partners, LP ( "SEP"), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent LLC ("APMC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. ("Atlas"), pursuant to which SEP OLP agreed to acquire all of the ownership interests of NOARK Pipeline System, Limited Partnership ("NOARK") from APMC for total cash consideration of approximately $300 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. NOARK's assets consist of 100% ownership interests in Ozark Gas Transmission, L.L.C. ("OGT") and Ozark Gas Gathering, L.L.C. ("OGG").

OGT is a 565-mile, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulated interstate natural gas transmission pipeline system that extends from southeast Oklahoma through Arkansas into southeast Missouri. OGT services natural gas production in the Arkoma basin and the Fayetteville Shale and offers access to important Midwest and Northeast markets. It also interconnects with the Texas Eastern interstate pipeline, an asset held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spectra Energy Corp ("Spectra Energy"), the indirect owner of SEP's general partner. OGG is a 365-mile, fee-based, state regulated natural gas gathering system located in eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions. Consummation of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including Hart-Scott-Rodino approval. There can be no assurance that these closing conditions will be satisfied. SEP currently expects the transactions to close in the second quarter of 2009. SEP expects long-term financing for the transaction to be a combination of debt and equity consistent with its current capital structure. Pending long-term financing, SEP expects to finance the closing of the transaction using funds borrowed under SEP OLP's existing credit facility and under a credit agreement entered into on April 7, 2009 (the "Credit Agreement") by SEP OLP, as borrower, and Spectra Energy Capital, LLC ("SE Capital"), as lender, a subsidiary of Spectra Energy. Under the Credit Agreement, SEP OLP may borrow up to $150 million from SE Capital for the purpose of funding the closing of the transaction. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement mature within 364 days and carry interest at an annual rate of 9.75%. The descriptions of each of the Purchase Agreement and the Credit Agreement contained in this report are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copy of the Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and the copy of the Credit Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report, each of which are incorporated by reference into this Item.
