WORKING CAPITAL LOAN AGREEMENT

 

WORKING CAPITAL LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of January __, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), between MGG MIDSTREAM HOLDINGS, L.P., a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with principal offices at One Williams Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74172 (“Lender”) and MAGELLAN MIDSTREAM HOLDINGS, L.P., a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with principal offices at One Williams Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74172 (“Borrower”).

 

1. Loan. Lender shall make revolving loans (“Loans”) to Borrower during the term of this Agreement in an aggregate principal amount outstanding of up to, but not exceeding, [$5,000,000] at any time. There shall be no more than five (5) Loans outstanding at any time.

 

2. Term. Borrower may borrow Loans from Lender up to the total loan commitment of [$5,000,000] at any time from the Effective Date to [December 31, 2006] (the “Maturity Date”). Borrower hereby promises to pay to Lender all outstanding principal, interest and other payments owing under this Agreement in full on the Maturity Date.

 

3. Revolving Nature and Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may increase or decrease Loans under this Agreement by making borrowings, repayments and further borrowings.

 

4. Procedure for Borrowing. Borrower may borrow in amounts of not less than $50,000.00, and in integral multiples of not less than $5,000.00 in excess thereof, by giving written notice to Lender. Each borrowing shall be requested with a same-day notice by 10:00 a.m. (Tulsa time) the day of the proposed borrowing, and Lender shall make such borrowing available to Borrower by 12:00 noon (Tulsa time) on such day.

 

5. Conditions of Loans. The obligation of Lender to make the Loans described herein is subject to the following conditions:

 

(a) no Default (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing;

 

(b) the proceeds of the proposed Loan are, at the date of the relevant request, to be used by Borrower for working capital purposes, as reasonably determined by Borrower; and

 

(c) Lender has received the notice of borrowing.

 

6. Interest. Each Loan made hereunder shall bear interest from the date made to the date paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate (as defined below) in effect from time to time plus [2.125]% per annum. If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing sentence plus 2%. Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

 

Borrower promises to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of any Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the last day of each calendar month of Borrower that such Loan is outstanding, or (ii) the date that the applicable Loan is repaid. All payments of principal and interest shall be payable in lawful currency of the United States of America at the office of Lender as provided above or such other address as the holder hereof shall have designated to Borrower, in immediately available funds.

For each calendar month of Borrower, the “LIBOR Rate” shall mean the rate per annum determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States Dollars for a period equal to one month commencing on the first day of such calendar month, which rate appears on Bloomberg page BBAM two business days prior to the first day of each calendar month. In the event that such rate does not appear on the Bloomberg page BBAM screen (or otherwise on such screen), the “LIBOR Rate” for purposes of this definition shall be determined by reference to such other comparable publicly available service for displaying LIBOR rates as may be selected by Lender.

 

7. Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender a commitment fee on the daily average unused amount of the commitment for the period from and including the Effective Date up to, but excluding, the Maturity Date at a rate of 0.25% per annum. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter of Borrower and on the Maturity Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

 

8. Prepayment; Termination. Borrower may prepay all or part of any Loan outstanding hereunder at any time without payment of penalty. Any partial prepayment, however, shall not be made in amounts of less than $5,000.00. Borrower may terminate this Agreement and the Commitment at any time by notice to Lender and repayment of any Loans and any accrued interest and accrued fees hereunder.

 

9. Default. Borrower shall be in default (“Default”) if any of the following events occur and continue:

 

(a) Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when due in accordance with the terms hereof; or Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan, or any other amount payable hereunder, within five days after any such interest or other amount becomes due in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; or

 

(b) Borrower defaults in the performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section) and such default continues for 30 days after notice thereof from Lender; or
