p.m., New York City Time, on January
18, 2019 (the "Expiration Date"), and revocation rights with
respect to consents validly delivered in respect of the Consenting

conditions set forth in the Statement, each Partnership will pay
eligible holders of the Consenting EEP and SEP Notes who validly
delivered and did not revoke consents on or prior to the Expiration
Date a cash payment equal to $1.00

The supplemental indentures to be executed in connection with
the completion of the consent solicitations will bind all holders
