Material Changes Versus Prior Period
On February 2, 2023, the Partnership entered into the Eighth Amendment to its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The primary material change is a reallocation of $150 million from the Aggregate WC Commitment to the Aggregate Revolver Commitment. The total aggregate commitment amount remains the same.
- Previous Structure: Aggregate WC Commitments were $1.1 billion; Aggregate Revolver Commitment was $450 million (implied by the $150 million shift).
- New Structure: Aggregate WC Commitments reduced to $950 million; Aggregate Revolver Commitment increased to $600 million.
- Operational Flexibility: The amendment permits borrowers to request up to two reallocations per calendar year, with a minimum reallocation amount of $50 million.

Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the total outstanding debt and utilization rates of the WC and Revolver facilities in the most recent 10-Q or 10-K to understand the impact of this reallocation on liquidity.
- Confirm the interest rate terms and covenants associated with the $600 million Revolver Commitment, as these may differ from the WC facilities.
- Review the full text of the Eighth Amendment (Exhibit 10.1) for any changes to financial covenants or default provisions not summarized in the 8-K.
