PetroLogistics LP
 
We currently own and operate the only U.S. propane dehydrogenation facility producing propylene from propane. Propylene is one of the basic building blocks for petrochemicals and is utilized in the production of a variety of end uses including paints, coatings, building materials, clothing, automotive parts, packaging and a range of other consumer and industrial products. We are the only independent, dedicated “on-purpose” propylene producer in North America. We are strategically located in the vicinity of the Houston Ship Channel which is situated within the largest propylene consumption region in North America. We also have access to the leading global fractionation and storage hub for propane located at Mt. Belvieu, Texas. Our location provides us with excellent access and connectivity to both customers and feedstock suppliers. Our facility currently has an annual production capacity of approximately 1.4 billion pounds of propylene.

The Exchange Offer
 
   
On March 28, 2013, we completed a private offering of $365.0 million aggregate principal amount of the old notes.  As part of this private offering, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the old notes in which we agreed, among other things, to deliver this prospectus to you and to use our reasonable best efforts to complete the exchange offer no later than 30 days after the date on which the registration statement, of which the prospectus forms a part of, is declared effective by the SEC. The following is a summary of the exchange offer.
 
 
 
Old Notes
On March 28, 2013, we issued $365.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2020.
 
 
 
 
New Notes
The terms of the new notes are identical to the terms of the old notes, except that the new notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and will not have restrictions on transfer, registration rights or provisions for additional interest.  The new notes offered hereby, together with any old notes that remain outstanding after the completion of the exchange offer, will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The new notes will have a CUSIP number different from that of any old notes that remain outstanding after the completion of the exchange offer.
 
 
 
 
Exchange Offer
We are offering to exchange up to $365.0 million aggregate principal amount of new notes for an equal amount of the old notes to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement that we entered into when we issued the old notes in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
 
 
 
 
Expiration Date
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                , 2014, unless we decide to extend it.
 
 
 
 
Conditions to the Exchange Offer
The registration rights agreement does not require us to accept old notes for exchange if the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of the old notes, would violate any applicable law or interpretation of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The exchange offer is not conditioned on a minimum aggregate principal amount of old notes being tendered. Please read “Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” for more information about the conditions to the exchange offer.
 
 
 
 
Procedures for Tendering Old Notes
To participate in the exchange offer, you must follow the procedures established by The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, for tendering notes held in book-entry form. These procedures for using DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program, or ATOP, require that (i) the exchange agent receive, prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer, a computer generated message known as an “agent’s message” that is transmitted through ATOP, and (ii) DTC confirms that:
 
 
 
 
 
·
DTC has received your instructions to exchange your notes; and
 
 
 
·
you agree to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal.
 
 
 
 
 
 
For more information on tendering your old notes, please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled “Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer,” “—Procedures for Tendering,” and “Description of Notes—Book-Entry, Delivery and Form.”
 
 
 
 
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
None.
 
 
 
 
Withdrawal of Tenders
You may withdraw your tender of old notes at any time prior to the expiration date.  To withdraw, you must submit a notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent using ATOP procedures before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer.  Please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled “Exchange Offer—Withdrawal of Tenders.”
 
 
 
 
Acceptance of Old Notes and Delivery of New Notes
If you fulfill all conditions required for proper acceptance of old notes, we will accept any and all old notes that you properly tender in the exchange offer on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. We will return any old notes that we do not accept for exchange to you without expense promptly after the expiration date and acceptance of the old notes for exchange. Please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled “Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer.”
 
 
 
 
Fees and Expenses
We will bear expenses related to the exchange offer.  Please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled “Exchange Offer—Fees and Expenses.”
 
 
 
 
Use of Proceeds
The issuance of the new notes will not provide us with any new proceeds.  We are making this exchange offer solely to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement.
 
 
 
 
Consequences of Failure to Exchange Old Notes
If you do not exchange your old notes in this exchange offer, you will no longer be able to require us to register the old notes under the Securities Act, except in limited circumstances provided under the registration rights agreement.  In addition, you will not be able to resell, offer to resell or otherwise transfer the old notes unless we have registered the old notes under the Securities Act, or unless you resell, offer to resell or otherwise transfer them under an exemption from the registration requirements of, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act.
 
 
 
 
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The exchange of old notes for new notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Please read “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

Finance Corp. is our wholly-owned direct subsidiary that was incorporated in Delaware for the purpose of serving as a co-issuer of debt securities issued by us.  Finance Corp. has no material assets and does not conduct any operations.  As a result, you should not expect Finance Corp. to participate in servicing the interest and principal obligations on the notes.

$365.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2020.
 
 
Maturity
April 1, 2020.
 
 
Interest
Interest on the new notes will accrue at a rate per annum equal to 6.25%.  Interest on the new notes will accrue from October 1, 2013, the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the old notes.
 
 
 
Interest Payment Dates
April 1 and October 1 of each year.
 
 
Ranking
The new notes will be our general unsecured obligations. The notes will:
 
 
 
·
rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness;
    
 
·
be effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including our guarantee of any borrowings under the restated revolver to the extent of the value of the assets securing the indebtedness;
    
     
 
·
be structurally subordinated to all future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of any of our future subsidiaries that are not issuers or guarantors of the notes; and
  
    
 
·
rank senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated indebtedness.
 
   
Subsidiary Guarantees
The new notes will initially be guaranteed, by PL Propylene, our wholly-owned subsidiary, and will be jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of our future subsidiaries. Any such guarantees will be full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions contained in the indenture. The subsidiary guarantees will:
 
 
 
·
rank equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of our guarantor subsidiaries;
 
   
 
·
be effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of our guarantor subsidiaries, including the initial guarantor’s borrowings under the restated revolver, to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness;
 
   
 
·
be structurally subordinated to all future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of any of our future non-guarantor subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and other liabilities owed to us, if any); and

rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of our guarantor subsidiaries.
 
   
  See ‘‘Description of notes—Subsidiary Guarantees.’’
 
Optional Redemption
We will have the option to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 1, 2016, in each case at the redemption prices described in this prospectus under the heading ‘‘Description of Notes—Optional Redemption,’’ together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
 
   
 
Prior to April 1, 2016, we may redeem the notes, in whole or part, at a ‘‘make-whole’’ redemption price described in this prospectus under the heading ‘‘Description of Notes—Optional Redemption,’’ together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
 
   
Equity Offering Optional Redemption
Before April 1, 2016, we may, at any time or from time to time, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes in an amount not greater than the net proceeds of a public or private equity offering at 106.25% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, if at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued under the indenture remains outstanding after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of a portion of equity offering.
 
   
Change of Control
When a change of control event occurs, each holder of notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of its notes at a price equal to at least 101% of the principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. See ‘‘Description of Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders.’’
 
   
Covenants
The indenture governing the notes contains certain covenants limiting our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to, under certain circumstances:

sell assets;

RISK FACTORS
 
Investing in our notes involves risk.  Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the following risk factors and all of the other information included, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus or to which we refer you, including the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of Part I of our 2012 Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.  If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.  In that case, you could lose all or part of your investment.  Also, please read “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
 
Risks Related to Investing in the New Notes
 
If you do not properly tender your old notes, you will continue to hold unregistered old notes and your ability to transfer old notes will remain restricted and may be adversely affected.
 
We will only issue new notes in exchange for old notes that you timely and properly tender.  Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the old notes, and you should carefully follow the instructions on how to tender your old notes.  Neither we nor the exchange agent is required to tell you of any defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of old notes.
 
If you do not exchange your old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer, the old notes you hold will continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions.  In general, you may not offer or sell the old notes except under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.  We do not plan to register old notes under the Securities Act unless our registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the old notes requires us to do so.  Further, if you continue to hold any old notes after the exchange offer is consummated, you may have trouble selling them because there will be fewer of these notes outstanding.
 
Future acquisitions and completion of expansion projects will require significant amounts of debt and equity financing which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
 
We plan to fund our acquisitions and expansion capital expenditures, including any future expansions we may undertake, with proceeds from sales of our debt and equity securities and borrowings under our $170 million revolver (or the restated revolver); however, we cannot be certain that we will be able to issue our debt and equity securities on terms or in the proportions that we expect, or at all, and we may be unable to refinance the restated revolver when it expires on March 28, 2018.  Global financial markets and economic conditions have been, and continue to be, disrupted and volatile, which may make it difficult to obtain funding in the future on satisfactory terms or
 
at all.  In addition, we may be unable to obtain adequate funding under the restated revolver because our lending counterparties may be unable to meet their funding obligations.
 
A significant increase in our indebtedness, or an increase in our indebtedness that is proportionately greater than our issuances of equity, or a deterioration in the condition of the credit or broader financial markets or the economy, could negatively impact our credit ratings or our ability to remain in compliance with the financial covenants under the restated revolver or the indenture governing the notes, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to fund acquisitions or capital expansion projects and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  If the cost of capital becomes too expensive, or contractual restrictions prevent us from issuing debt or equity, our ability to develop or acquire strategic and accretive assets will be limited.
 
We are a holding company and depend upon our subsidiary for our cash flow.
 
We are a holding company.  All of our operations are conducted and all of our assets are owned by PL Propylene, our wholly-owned subsidiary.  Consequently, our cash flow and our ability to meet our debt service obligations will depend upon the cash flow of our subsidiary and the payment of funds by our subsidiary to us in the form of dividends or otherwise.  The ability of our subsidiary to make any payments to us will depend on its earnings, the terms of its indebtedness, including the terms of any credit facilities, and legal restrictions.  In particular, future credit facilities incurred at our subsidiary may impose significant limitations on the ability of our subsidiary to pay distributions to us and consequently our ability to service our debt obligations.
Our indebtedness may limit our ability to borrow additional funds, make distributions to our unitholders, or capitalize on acquisition or other business opportunities, in addition to impairing our ability to fulfill our debt obligation under our notes.
 
As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $365.0 million of total outstanding indebtedness.  We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including secured indebtedness.  Our leverage, various limitations in the restated revolver, other restrictions governing our indebtedness and the indenture governing the notes may reduce our ability to incur additional indebtedness, to engage in some transactions and to capitalize on acquisition or other business opportunities.
 
Our indebtedness and other financial obligations could have important consequences.  For example, they could:
 
· make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes;
 
· impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general partnership purposes or other purposes;
 
· result in higher interest expense in the event of increases in interest rates since some of our debt is, and will continue to be, at variable rates of interest;
 
· have a material adverse effect on us if we fail to comply with financial and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements and an event of default occurs as a result of that failure that is not cured or waived;
 
· require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments of our indebtedness and other financial obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general partnership requirements;
 
· limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the propane industry; and
 
· place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have proportionately less debt.
 
If we are unable to meet our debt service obligations and other financial obligations, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our indebtedness and other financial transactions, seek additional equity capital or sell our assets.  We may then be unable to obtain such financing or capital or sell our assets on satisfactory terms, if at all.
 
Any increase in interest rates would make our debt service obligations more burdensome and increase our financing costs, which could adversely affect our cash flow.
 
Borrowings under the restated revolver will bear interest at variable rates, and we cannot predict how interest rates will react to changing market conditions.  If market interest rates increase, such variable-rate debt will create higher debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our cash flow.  Interest rates on the restated revolver, future credit facilities and debt offerings could be higher than current levels, causing our financing costs to increase accordingly.
 
Our ability to make scheduled debt payments, to refinance our obligations with respect to our indebtedness and to fund capital and non-capital expenditures necessary to maintain the condition of our operating assets, properties and systems software, as well as to provide capacity for the growth of our business, depends on our financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, competitive, legal and other factors.
If our operating results are not sufficient to service our current or future indebtedness, we will be forced to take actions such as reducing distributions, reducing or delaying our business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our debt, or seeking additional equity capital or bankruptcy protection.
 
We do not have the same flexibility as other types of organizations to accumulate cash which may limit cash available to service the notes or to repay them at maturity.
 
The board of directors of our general partner has adopted a policy pursuant to which we will distribute all of the available cash we generate each quarter.  Available cash for each quarter will be determined by the board of directors of our general partner following the end of such quarter.  We expect that available cash for each quarter will generally equal our cash flow from operations for the quarter, less cash needed for capital expenditures, debt service and other contractual obligations, reserves for future operating or capital needs that the board of directors of our general partner deems necessary or appropriate and reserves to fund quarterly distributions to our unitholders during future periods of decreased production associated with planned maintenance turnarounds.  As a result, we do not accumulate significant amounts of cash and thus do not have the same flexibility as corporations or other entities that do not pay dividends or have complete flexibility regarding the amounts they will distribute to their equity holders.  The timing and amount of our distributions could significantly reduce the cash available to pay the principal, premium (if any) and interest on the notes.
 
Although our payment obligations to our unitholders are subordinate to our payment obligations to you, the value of our units will decrease in correlation with decreases in the amount we distribute per unit.  Accordingly, if we experience a liquidity problem in the future, we may not be able to issue equity to recapitalize or refinance our existing indebtedness.
 
Payment of principal and interest on the notes will be effectively subordinated to our senior secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing the debt as well as structurally subordinated to the indebtedness of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.
 
The notes will be our senior unsecured debt and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future unsubordinated debt.  The notes will be effectively junior to all our existing and future secured debt and to the existing and future secured debt of any subsidiaries that guarantee the notes.  Holders of our secured obligations, including obligations under the restated revolver, will have claims that are prior to claims of holders of the notes with respect to the assets securing those obligations.  In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, bankruptcy or any similar proceeding, our assets and those of our subsidiaries will be available to pay obligations on the notes and the guarantees only after holders of our senior secured debt have been paid the value of the assets securing such debt.
 
In addition, although PL Propylene will initially guarantee the notes, under certain circumstances, subsidiary guarantees are subject to release, and we may have subsidiaries that are not guarantors.  In that case, the notes would be structurally junior to the claims of all creditors, including trade creditors and tort claimants, of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors.  In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, bankruptcy or similar proceeding of the business of a subsidiary that is not a guarantor, creditors of that subsidiary would generally have the right to be paid in full before any distribution is made to us or the holders of the notes.  Accordingly, there may not be sufficient funds remaining to pay amounts due on all or any of the notes.
 
The subsidiary guarantees could be deemed fraudulent conveyances under certain circumstances, and a court may try to subordinate or void the subsidiary guarantees.
 
Under U.S. bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee can be voided, or claims under a guarantee may be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee:
 
· intended to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditor or received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the guarantee;
 
· was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;
· was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
 
· intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they mature.
 
In addition, any payment by that guarantor under a guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor.  The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred.  Generally, however, a subsidiary guarantor would be considered insolvent if:
 
· the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;
 
· the present saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability, including contingent liabilities, on existing debts as they become absolute and mature; or
 
· it could not pay its debts as they became due.
 
We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control.
 
Upon occurrence of specific change of control events affecting us, you will have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part of your notes with a cash payment equal to at least 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest.  Our ability to repurchase the notes upon such a change of control would be limited by our access to funds at the time of the repurchase and the terms of our other debt agreements.  Upon a change of control event, we may be required immediately to repay the outstanding principal, any accrued interest on and any other amounts owed by us under the restated revolver, the notes and other outstanding indebtedness.  The source of funds for these repayments would be our available cash or cash generated from other sources.  However, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient funds available or that we will be permitted by our other debt instruments to fulfill these obligations.  Furthermore, certain change of control events would constitute an event of default under the restated revolver.
 
The change of control put right might not be enforceable.
 
The Chancery Court of Delaware has raised the possibility that a change in control put right occurring as a result of a failure to have “continuing directors” comprising a majority of a board of directors may be unenforceable on public policy grounds.
 
Many of the covenants contained in the indenture will terminate if the notes are rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing.
 
Many of the covenants in the indenture governing the notes will terminate if the notes are rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing.  These covenants will not be restored if the notes are later rated below investment grade.  These covenants restrict, among other things, our ability to pay distributions on our units, incur debt and enter into certain other transactions.  Termination of these covenants would allow us to engage in certain transactions that would not be permitted while these covenants were in force.  See “Description of Notes— Certain Covenants—Covenant Termination.”
 
We require a significant amount of cash to service our indebtedness.  Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.
 
Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including these notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures depends on our ability to generate cash in the future.  This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.
We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under the restated revolver or otherwise in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including these notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs.  We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the notes, on or before maturity.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including the restated revolver and the notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
 
Your ability to transfer the notes may be limited by the absence of a trading market.
 
The notes will be new securities for which currently there is no trading market.  We do not currently intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities exchange or stock market.  Although the initial purchasers have informed us that they currently intend to make a market in the notes, they are not obligated to do so.  In addition, they may discontinue any such market making at any time without notice.  The liquidity of any market for the notes will depend on the number of holders of those notes, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in those notes and other factors.  Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the development or liquidity of any market for the notes.  Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the notes.  We cannot assure you that the market, if any, for the notes will be free from similar disruptions.  Any such disruption may adversely affect the note holders.
 
Future trading prices of the notes and the exchange notes will depend on many factors, including:
 
· our subsidiaries’ operating performance and financial condition;
 
· our ability to complete the offer to exchange the notes for the exchange notes, if required by the registration rights agreement;
 
· the interest of the securities dealers in making a market in the notes (or exchange notes, if any); and
 
· the market for similar securities.
EXCHANGE OFFER
 
Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer
 
We sold the old notes on March 28, 2013 pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated as of March 22, 2013, by and among us, our subsidiary guarantors and the initial purchasers named therein. The old notes were subsequently offered by the initial purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
 
We sold the old notes in transactions that were exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the old notes are subject to transfer restrictions. In general, you may not offer or sell the old notes unless either they are registered under the Securities Act or the offer or sale is exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
 
In connection with the sale of the old notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the old notes. In that agreement, we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to file an exchange offer registration statement after the closing date following the offering of the old notes. Now, to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement, we are offering holders of the old notes who are able to make certain representations described below the opportunity to exchange their old notes for the new notes in the exchange offer. The exchange offer will be open for a period of at least 20 business days. During the exchange offer period, we will exchange the new notes for all old notes properly surrendered and not withdrawn before the expiration date. The new notes will be registered under the Securities Act, and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and provisions for additional interest relating to the old notes will not apply to the new notes.
 
For each old note surrendered to us pursuant to the exchange offer, the holder of such old note will receive a new note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered old note.  Interest on each new note will accrue from October 1, 2013, the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the surrendered old note.  The registration rights agreement also provides an agreement to include in the prospectus for the exchange offer certain information necessary to allow a broker-dealer who holds old notes that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other ordinary course trading activities (other than old notes acquired directly from us or one of our affiliates) to exchange such old notes pursuant to the exchange offer and to satisfy the prospectus delivery requirements in connection with resales of new notes received by such broker-dealer in the exchange offer.  We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the exchange offer registration statement for these purposes for a period ending on the earlier of 180 days from the date on which the exchange offer registration statement is declared effective and the date on which the broker-dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities.
 
The preceding agreement is needed because any broker-dealer who acquires old notes for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities is required to deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act.  This prospectus covers the offer and sale of the new notes pursuant to the exchange offer and the resale of new notes received in the exchange offer by any broker-dealer who held old notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, other than old notes acquired directly from us or one of our affiliates.
 
Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the new notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer would in general be freely tradable after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act.  However, any purchaser of old notes who is an “affiliate” of ours or who intends to participate in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing the related new notes:
 
· will not be able to rely on the interpretation of the staff of the SEC;
 
· will not be able to tender its old notes in the exchange offer; and
 
· must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any sale or transfer of the old notes unless such sale or transfer is made pursuant to an exemption from such requirements.
Each holder of the old notes (other than certain specified holders) who desires to exchange old notes for the new notes in the exchange offer will be required to make the representations described below under “—Procedures for Tendering—Your Representations to Us.”
 
We further agreed to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement to register for public resale old notes held by any holder who provides us with certain information for inclusion in the shelf registration statement if the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy or if the exchange offer is for any reason not consummated on or before March 17, 2014.
 
Under the registration rights agreement, the issuers and the guarantors have agreed to file and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the notes for substantially identical notes (other than with respect to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate for failure to comply with the registration rights agreement) that are registered under the Securities Act so as to permit the exchange offer to be consummated by the 360th day after March 28, 2013.
 
If the exchange offer is not completed (or, if required, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective) on or before the date 360 days after the issuance of the notes, the annual interest rate borne by the notes will be increased by 1.0% per annum until the exchange offer is completed or the shelf registration statement is declared effective.
 
Holders of the old notes will be required to make certain representations to us pursuant to the registration rights agreement (as described below) in order to participate in the exchange offer and will be required to deliver information to be used in connection with the shelf registration statement and to provide comments on the shelf registration statement within the time periods set forth in the registration rights agreement in order to have their old notes included in the shelf registration statement.
 
If we effect the registered exchange offer, we will be entitled to close the registered exchange offer 20 business days after its commencement as long as we have accepted all old notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer and no brokers or dealers continue to hold any old notes.
 
This summary of the material provisions of the registration rights agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the registration rights agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
 
Except as set forth above, after consummation of the exchange offer, holders of old notes that are the subject of the exchange offer will have no registration or exchange rights under the registration rights agreement.  See “—Consequences of Failure to Exchange.”
 
Terms of the Exchange Offer
 
Subject to the terms and conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange any old notes properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.  We will issue new notes in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of old notes surrendered in the exchange offer.  Old notes may be tendered only for new notes and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
 
The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of old notes being tendered for exchange.
 
As of the date of this prospectus, $365.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the old notes is outstanding.  This prospectus and the letter of transmittal are being sent to all registered holders of old notes.  There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of old notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.
 
We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement, the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Old notes that the holders thereof do not tender for exchange in the exchange offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest.  These old notes will continue to be entitled to the rights and benefits such holders have under the indenture relating to the notes and the registration rights agreement.
We will be deemed to have accepted for exchange properly tendered old notes when we have given oral or written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent and complied with the applicable provisions of the registration rights agreement.  The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the new notes from us.
 
If you tender old notes in the exchange offer, you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of old notes.  We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offer.  It is important that you read the section “—Fees and Expenses” for more details regarding fees and expenses incurred in connection with the exchange offer.
 
We will return any old notes that we do not accept for exchange for any reason without expense to their tendering holder promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.
 
Expiration Date
 
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                   , 2014, unless, in our sole discretion, we extend it.
 
Extensions, Delays in Acceptance, Termination or Amendment
 
We expressly reserve the right, at any time or various times, to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open.  We may delay acceptance of any old notes by giving oral or written notice of such extension to their holders at any time until the exchange offer expires or terminates.  During any such extensions, all old notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer, and we may accept them for exchange.
 
In order to extend the exchange offer, we will notify the exchange agent orally or in writing of any extension.  We will notify the registered holders of old notes of the extension by a press release issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.
 
Any such notice relating to the extension of the exchange offer will disclose the number of securities tendered as of the date of the notice, as required by Rule 14e-1(d) under the Exchange Act:  We expressly reserve the right, at our sole discretion:
 
· to delay accepting the old notes, provided that any such delay is done in a manner consistent with Rule 14e-1(c) of the Exchange Act;
 
· to extend the exchange offer;
 
· to terminate the exchange offer and not accept old notes not previously accepted if any of the conditions listed under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” are not satisfied or waived by us, by giving oral or written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent; or
 
· to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.
 
Following the commencement of the exchange offer, we anticipate that we would only delay accepting old notes tendered in the exchange offer due to an extension of the expiration date.  We will follow any delay in acceptance, extension or termination as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice to the exchange agent.
 
Any such delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof to the registered holders of old notes.  If we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose such amendment by means of a prospectus supplement.  The prospectus supplement will be distributed to the registered holders of the old notes.  Depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, we may extend the exchange offer.  In the event of a material change in the exchange offer, including the waiver by us of a material condition, we will extend the exchange offer period, if necessary, so that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer period following notice of the material change.
If we delay accepting any old notes or terminate the exchange offer, we will promptly pay the consideration offered, or return any old notes deposited, pursuant to the exchange offer as required by Rule 14e-1(c).
 
Conditions to the Exchange Offer
 
We will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange any new notes for, any old notes if the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of old notes, would violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC.  Similarly, we may terminate the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before accepting old notes for exchange in the event of such a potential violation.
 
In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the old notes of any holder that has not made to us the representations described under “—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer,” “—Procedures for Tendering” and “Plan of Distribution” and such other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to allow us to use an appropriate form to register the issuance of the new notes under the Securities Act.
 
We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer, and to reject for exchange any old notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions to the exchange offer specified above.  We will give prompt oral or written notice of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the holders of the old notes as promptly as practicable.
 
These conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them or waive them in whole or in part at any time or at various times in our sole discretion prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.  If we fail at any time to exercise any of these rights, this failure will not mean that we have waived our rights.  Each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.
 
In addition, we will not accept for exchange any old notes tendered, and will not issue new notes in exchange for any such old notes, if at such time any stop order has been threatened or is in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indenture relating to the notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).
 
Procedures for Tendering
 
In order to participate in the exchange offer, you must properly tender your old notes to the exchange agent as described below.  We will only issue new notes in exchange for old notes that you timely and properly tender.  Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the old notes, and you should follow carefully the instructions on how to tender your old notes.  It is your responsibility to properly tender your notes.  We have the right to waive any defects.  However, we are not required to waive defects and are not required to notify you of defects in your tender.
 
If you have any questions or need help in exchanging your notes, please call the exchange agent, whose address and phone number are set forth in “Prospectus Summary—The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent.”
 
All of the old notes were issued in book-entry form, and all of the old notes are currently represented by global certificates held for the account of DTC.  We have confirmed with DTC that the old notes may be tendered using the Automated Tender Offer Program, or ATOP, instituted by DTC.  The exchange agent will establish an account with DTC for purposes of the exchange offer promptly after the commencement of the exchange offer, and DTC participants may electronically transmit their acceptance of the exchange offer by causing DTC to transfer their old notes to the exchange agent using the ATOP procedures.  In connection with the transfer, DTC will send an “agent’s message” to the exchange agent.  The agent’s message will state that DTC has received instructions from the participant to tender old notes and that the participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal.
By using the ATOP procedures to exchange old notes, you will not be required to deliver a letter of transmittal to the exchange agent.  However, you will be bound by its terms just as if you had signed it.
 
There is no procedure for guaranteed late delivery of the notes.
 
Determinations under the Exchange Offer
 
We will determine, in our sole discretion, all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt, acceptance of tendered old notes and withdrawal of tendered old notes.  Our determination will be final and binding.  We reserve the absolute right to reject any old notes not properly tendered or any old notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful.  We also reserve the right to waive any defect, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular old notes.  Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties.  Unless waived, all defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes must be cured within such time as we shall determine.  Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to give such notification.  Tenders of old notes will not be deemed made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived.  Any old notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly following the expiration date of the exchange.
 
When We Will Issue New Notes
 
In all cases, we will issue new notes for old notes that we have accepted for exchange under the exchange offer only after the exchange agent timely receives:
 
· a book-entry confirmation of such old notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC; and
 
· a properly transmitted agent’s message.
 
Return of Old Notes Not Accepted or Exchanged
 
If we do not accept any tendered old notes for exchange or if old notes are submitted for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, the unaccepted or non-exchanged old notes will be returned without expense to their tendering holder.  Such non-exchanged old notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC.  These actions will occur promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.
 
Your Representations to Us
 
By agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things:
 
· any new notes that you receive will be acquired in the ordinary course of your business;
 
· you have no arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution of the new notes;
 
· you are not our “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act;
 
· if you are a broker-dealer that will receive new notes for your own account in exchange for old notes, you acquired those notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and you will deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus) in connection with any resale of such new notes; and
 
· if you are a broker-dealer that participates in the exchange offer with respect to old notes acquired for your own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with us or any of our “affiliates” to distribute the new notes.
Withdrawal of Tenders
 
Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.  For a withdrawal to be effective, you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC’s ATOP system.  Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with withdrawn old notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC.
 
We will determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility and time of receipt of notice of withdrawal.  Our determination shall be final and binding on all parties.  We will deem any old notes so withdrawn not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer.
 
Any old notes that have been tendered for exchange but are not exchanged for any reason will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for the old notes.  This crediting will take place promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer.  You may retender properly withdrawn old notes by following the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering” above at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer.
 
Fees and Expenses
 
We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders.  The principal solicitation is being made by electronic mail; however, we may make additional solicitation by facsimile, telephone, mail or in person by our officers and regular employees and those of our affiliates.
 
We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to broker-dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer.  We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reimburse it for its related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
 
We will pay the cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer.  They include:
 
· all registration and filing fees and expenses;
 
· all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state “blue sky” or securities laws;
 
· accounting and legal fees, disbursements and printing, messenger and delivery services, and telephone costs; and
 
· related fees and expenses.
 
Transfer Taxes
 
We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of old notes under the exchange offer.  The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person, if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes under the exchange offer.
 
Consequences of Failure to Exchange
 
If you do not exchange new notes for your old notes under the exchange offer you will remain subject to the existing restrictions on transfer of the old notes.  In general, you may not offer or sell the old notes unless the offer or sale is either registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.  Except as required by the registration rights agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the old notes under the Securities Act.
Accounting Treatment
 
We will record the new notes in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the old notes.  This carrying value is the aggregate principal amount of the old notes less any bond discount, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange.  Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes in connection with the exchange offer.
 
Other
 
Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary and you should carefully consider whether to accept.  You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take.
 
We may in the future seek to acquire untendered old notes in open market or privately-negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise.  We have no present plans to acquire any old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered old notes.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement.  We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the new notes in the exchange offer.  In consideration for issuing the new notes as contemplated by this prospectus, we will receive old notes in a like principal amount.  The form and terms of the new notes are identical in all respects to the form and terms of the old notes, except the new notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not contain restrictions on transfer, registration rights or provisions for additional interest.  Old notes surrendered in exchange for the new notes will be retired and cancelled and will not be reissued.  Accordingly, the issuance of the new notes will not result in any change in outstanding indebtedness.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
 
We are offering up to $365.0 million aggregate principal amount of our new 6.25% senior notes due 2020, which have been registered under the Securities Act, referred to in this prospectus as the “new notes,” for any and all of our outstanding unregistered 6.25% senior notes due 2020, referred to in this prospectus as the “old notes,” that we issued on March 28, 2013 in a transaction not requiring registration under the Securities Act.  We are offering you new notes in exchange for old notes in order to satisfy our registration obligations from this initial sale of the old notes.  The new notes will be treated as a single class with any old notes that remain outstanding after the completion of the exchange offer. The old notes and the new notes are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “notes.”  The old notes were issued, and the new notes will be issued, under an Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated March 28, 2013 among the Issuers, PL Propylene LLC, as the initial guarantor of the notes, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).  The terms of the notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).
 
The notes are unsecured obligations of the Partnership and Finance Corp. Finance Corp is a finance subsidiary that is wholly-owned by the Partnership.  Finance Corp and the Partnership do not have any material independent assets or operations.  The notes are guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis by the operating company and will be jointly and severally guaranteed by our future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Any such guarantees will be full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions contained in the indenture.  There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Partnership to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.
 
You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading “—Certain Definitions.” In this description, the term “Company,” “us,” “our” or “we” refers only to PetroLogistics LP and not to any of its subsidiaries, the term “Finance Corp.” refers to PetroLogistics Finance Corp. and the term “Issuers” refers to the Company and Finance Corp. Reference to the "Operating Company" are to PL Propylene LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture.  It does not restate that agreement in its entirety.  We urge you to read the indenture agreement because it, and not this description, define your rights as holders of the notes.  Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under “—Certain Definitions” have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture. Only registered holders have rights under the indenture, and all references in this description to “Holders” or “noteholders” are to registered holders of notes.
 
Brief Description of the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees
 
The Notes
 
The notes are:
 
· general unsecured obligations of either of the Issuers;
 
· non-recourse to our general partner;
 
· equal in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Debt of either of the Issuers;
 
· senior in right of payment to all future subordinated Indebtedness of either of the Issuers;
 
· unconditionally guaranteed, subject to certain customary release provisions contained in the indenture, by the initial Guarantor and any future Guarantors on a senior unsecured basis; and
 
· structurally subordinated to all obligations of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes and effectively subordinated to the secured Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, which is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Issuers and the sole initial Guarantor, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that Indebtedness.  See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Investing in the New Notes—Payment of principal and interest on the notes will be effectively subordinated to our senior secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing the debt as well as structurally subordinated to the indebtedness of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.”
 
The Subsidiary Guarantees
 
The notes are currently guaranteed only by the Operating Company.  The Operating Company and Finance Corp. are our only existing Subsidiaries.
Each guarantee of the notes:
 
· will be a general unsecured obligation of the Guarantor;
 
· will be equal in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Debt of that Guarantor;
 
· will be senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of that Guarantor; and
 
· will be effectively subordinated to all secured Indebtedness of the Guarantor, including its Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that Indebtedness.
 
As of September 30, 2013 the Issuers and the Operating Company had total debt of $365.0 million, consisting solely of the notes (and the related guarantee).
 
The Indenture permits the Issuers and any Guarantors to incur additional Indebtedness, including Senior Debt.  As of September 30, 2013, the Operating Company had $170.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the restated revolver.  Any such borrowing would rank effectively senior to the Operating Company’s guarantee of the notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing such borrowings.  Similarly, the Issuers’ guarantees of any indebtedness under the Credit Agreement would rank effectively senior to their obligations under the notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing the indebtedness.
 
Currently, only the Operating Company guarantees the notes.  However, under the circumstances described below under the subheading “—Certain Covenants—Additional Subsidiary Guarantees,” one or more of any Subsidiaries we organize or acquire in the future may not guarantee the notes.  In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor Subsidiaries, the non-guarantor Subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us.
 
As of the date of this prospectus, both of our Subsidiaries are “Restricted Subsidiaries.” However, under the circumstances described below under the subheading “—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries,” we will be permitted to designate certain of our Subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture.  Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee the notes.
 
Principal, Maturity and Interest
 
The Issuers issued the old notes in an aggregate principal amount of $365.0 million.  In addition to the new notes offered hereby and the old notes, the Issuers may issue additional notes from time to time after this offering, provided that the additional notes are fungible with the initial notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes so that such additional notes will trade as part of a single class with the initial notes.  Any offering of additional notes is subject to the covenant described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Equity Interests.” Any old notes remaining outstanding after the completion of the exchange offer and any additional notes subsequently issued under the Indenture, together with all new notes, will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.  The Issuers will issue notes in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The notes will mature on April 1, 2020.
 
Interest on the notes accrues at the rate of 6.25% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year.  The Issuers will make each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15.
 
In the case of the new notes, all interest accrued on the old notes from the most recent interest payment date, October 1, 2013, will be treated as having accrued on the new notes that are issued in exchange for the old notes.  Additional interest may accrue on the notes as liquidated damages in certain circumstances described below under “—Registration Rights; Additional Interest,” and all references to “interest” in this description include any additional interest that may be payable on the notes.  Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes
 
If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuers, the Issuers will pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that Holder’s notes in accordance with those instructions.  All other payments on the notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Issuers elect to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders.
 
Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes
 
The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar.  The Issuers may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the notes, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.
 
Transfer and Exchange
 
A Holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the indenture.  The registrar and the trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes.  No service charge will be imposed by the Issuers, the trustee or the registrar for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes, but Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer.  The Issuers are not required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption (except in the case of a note to be redeemed or repurchased in part, that portion not to be redeemed or repurchased).  Also, the Issuers are not required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.
 
Subsidiary Guarantees
 
The Operating Company guarantees the notes on a senior unsecured basis.  Any Restricted Subsidiaries that we organize or acquire in the future will be required to guarantee the notes under the circumstances described under “—Certain Covenants—Additional Subsidiary Guarantees.” Any Subsidiary Guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the Guarantors.  The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law, although this limitation may not be sufficient to prevent the Subsidiary Guarantees from being voided in bankruptcy.  See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The subsidiary guarantees could be deemed fraudulent conveyances under certain circumstances, and a court may try to subordinate or void the subsidiary guarantees.”  A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:
 
 
(1)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
 
 
(2)
either:
 
 
(i)
the Person acquiring the properties or assets in any such sale or other disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture substantially in the form specified in the indenture, under the notes, the indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee on terms set forth therein; or
 
 
(ii)
such sale or other disposition does not violate the “Asset Sales” provisions of the indenture.
 
The Operating Company's guarantee of the notes is, and the guarantee of any future Guarantor Subsidiaries will be, full and unconditional, however the Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released in accordance with the following customary release provisions contained in the indenture:
 
 
(1)
in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the “Asset Sales” provisions of the indenture;
 
(2)
in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the “Asset Sales” provisions of the indenture and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of such sale or other disposition;
 
 
(3)
if the Company designates that Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture;
 
 
(4)
upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance as described below under the caption “—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” or upon satisfaction and discharge of the indenture as described below under the caption “—Satisfaction and Discharge”; or
 
 
(5)
at such time as that Guarantor ceases to guarantee any other Indebtedness of either of the Issuers or another Guarantor, provided that it is then no longer an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness under any Credit Facility; provided, further, however, that if, at any time following such release, that Guarantor incurs or guarantees Indebtedness under a Credit Facility, then such Guarantor shall be required to provide a Subsidiary Guarantee at such time.
 
Optional Redemption
 
At any time prior to April 1, 2016, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture at a redemption price of 106.25% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Company, provided that:
 
 
(1)
at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries); and
 
 
(2)
the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.
 
On and after April 1, 2016, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the notes, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below:

Prior to April 1, 2016, the Issuers may on one or more occasions redeem all or part of the notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of:
 
 
(1)
the principal amount thereof, plus
 
 
(2)
the Make Whole Premium at the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).
Selection and Notice
 
If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee will select notes for redemption as follows:
 
 
(1)
if the notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the notes are listed; or
 
 
(2)
if the notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of global notes, the notes represented thereby will be selected in accordance with DTC’s prescribed method).
 
No notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part.  Notices of optional redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that optional redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.  Notices of redemption may not be conditional, except that any redemption described in the first paragraph under “—Optional Redemption” may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to completion of the related Equity Offering.
 
If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note that is to be redeemed.  A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the Holder of notes upon cancellation of the original note.  Notes called for redemption without a condition precedent will become due on the date fixed for redemption.  On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on notes or portions of them called for redemption.
 
Mandatory Redemption
 
Except as set forth below under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders,” neither of the Issuers is required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes or to repurchase the notes at the option of the Holders.
 
Repurchase at the Option of Holders
 
Change of Control
 
If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in the indenture.  In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a change of control payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to at least 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes repurchased, to the date of settlement (the “Change of Control Settlement Date”), subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Settlement Date.  Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder and the trustee describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase notes on the Change of Control Settlement Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the indenture and described in such notice.
 
The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of such conflict.
On or before the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.  Promptly thereafter on the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Company will:
 
 
(1)
deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered; and
 
 
(2)
deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes properly accepted together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased by the Company.
 
On the Change of Control Settlement Date, the paying agent will mail to each Holder of notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes (or, if all the notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of DTC), and the trustee will authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Settlement Date.
 
The Credit Agreement provides that certain change of control events with respect to the Company and the General Partner would constitute a default or require repayment of the Senior Debt outstanding thereunder.  Any future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Senior Debt to which the Company or any Guarantor becomes a party may contain similar restrictions and provisions.  The indenture provides that, prior to complying with any of the provisions of this “Change of Control” covenant, but in any event no later than the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Company or any Guarantor must either repay all of its other outstanding Senior Debt or obtain the requisite consents, if any, under all agreements governing such Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of notes required by this covenant.
 
The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the indenture are applicable.  Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture will not contain provisions that permit the Holders of the notes to require that the Company repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.
 
The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice to redeem all outstanding notes has been given pursuant to the indenture as described above under “—Optional Redemption,” unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.
 
A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer.  Notes repurchased by the Issuers pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will have the status of notes issued but not outstanding or will be retired and cancelled, at either of the Issuers’ option.  Notes purchased by a third party pursuant to the preceding paragraph will have the status of notes issued and outstanding.
 
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.  Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law.  Accordingly, the ability of a Holder of notes to require the Company to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.
In the event that Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Company (or the third party making the Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company) purchases all of the notes held by such Holders, the Issuers will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes that remain outstanding, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).
 
Asset Sales
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
 
 
(1)
the Company (or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and
 
 
(2)
at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Asset Sale and all other Asset Sales since the date of the indenture is in the form of cash.  For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:
 
 
(i)
any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet, of the Company or such Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a novation agreement that releases the Company or such Subsidiary from further liability; and
 
 
(ii)
any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 90 days after the Asset Sale, converted by the Company or such Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion.
 
Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following:
 
 
(1)
to repay, redeem or otherwise permanently retire Senior Debt, including notes;
 
 
(2)
to acquire all or substantially all of the properties or assets of a Person primarily engaged in a Permitted Business;
 
 
(3)
to acquire a majority of the Voting Stock of a Person primarily engaged in a Permitted Business;
 
 
(4)
to make capital expenditures; or
 
 
(5)
to acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.
 
Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowing or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture.  Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds.”
When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds then exceeds $25.0 million, within 10 days the Company will make a pro rata offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of notes, and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase the maximum principal amount of notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds.  The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of settlement, subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of settlement, and will be payable in cash.  If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds allocated to the purchase of notes, the trustee will select the notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased).  Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.
 
The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the “Asset Sales” provisions of the indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the “Asset Sales” provisions of the indenture by virtue of such conflict.
 
Certain Covenants
 
Restricted Payments
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
 
 
(1)
declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interest) of the Company or payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company);
 
 
(2)
purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company;
 
 
(3)
make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, except a payment of interest or principal within 180 days of the Stated Maturity thereof; or
 
 
(4)
make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, no Default (except a Reporting Default) or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment and either:
 
 
(5)
if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment is not less than 1.75 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4) and (5) of the next succeeding paragraph) with respect to the quarter for which such Restricted Payment is made, is less than the sum, without duplication, of:
 
(i)
Available Cash with respect to the Company’s preceding fiscal quarter, plus
 
 
(ii)
100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company (including the fair market value of any Permitted Business or long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business to the extent acquired in consideration of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Equity Interest)) after the date of the indenture as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Equity Interest) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Equity Interest or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Company that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Equity Interest or debt securities) sold to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), plus
 
 
(iii)
to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the date of the indenture is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of (i) the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (ii) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment, plus
 
 
(iv)
the net reduction in Restricted Investments resulting from dividends, repayments of loans or advances, or other transfers of assets in each case to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from any Person (including, without limitation, Unrestricted Subsidiaries) or from redesignations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent such amounts have not been included in Available Cash for any period commencing on or after the date of the indenture (items (b), (c) and (d) being referred to as “Incremental Funds”), minus
 
 
(v)
the aggregate amount of Incremental Funds previously expended pursuant to this clause (1) and clause (2) below; or
 
 
(6)
if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment is less than 1.75 to 1.00, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4) and (5) of the next succeeding paragraph) with respect to the quarter for which such Restricted Payment is made (such Restricted Payments for purposes of this clause (2) meaning only distributions on limited partnership interests of the Company), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:
 
 
(i)
$150.0 million less the aggregate amount of all prior Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (2)(a) since the date of the indenture, plus
 
 
(ii)
Incremental Funds to the extent not previously expended pursuant to this clause (2) or clause (1) above.
 
So long as no Default (except a Reporting Default) or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby (except with respect to clause (1) below under which the payment of a distribution or dividend is permitted), the preceding provisions will not prohibit:
 
 
(1)
the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the date of its declaration, if at the date of declaration the payment would have complied with the provisions of the indenture;
 
(2)
the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor or of any Equity Interests of the Company in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent (a) contribution (other than from a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to the equity capital of the Company or (b) sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Equity Interest), with a sale being deemed substantially concurrent if such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value occurs not more than 120 days after such sale; provided, however, that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value will be excluded or deducted from the calculation of Available Cash and Incremental Funds;
 
 
(3)
the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of, or in exchange for, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;
 
 
(4)
the payment of any dividend or distribution by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis; or
 
 
(5)
the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to any director or employee equity subscription agreement or equity option agreement or other employee benefit plan or to satisfy obligations under any Equity Interests appreciation rights or option plan or similar arrangement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such purchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $5.0 million in any calendar year, with unused amounts in any calendar year being carried over to succeeding calendar years subject to a maximum of $15.0 million in any calendar year.
 
The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value, on the date of the Restricted Payment, of the Restricted Investment proposed to be made or the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment, except that the fair market value of any non-cash dividend or distribution paid within 60 days after the date of its declaration shall be determined as of such date.  The fair market value of any Restricted Investment, assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant shall be determined in accordance with the definition of that term.  For purposes of determining compliance with this “Restricted Payments” covenant, (x) in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in the clauses (1) through (5) of the next preceding paragraph of this covenant, or is permitted pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) on the date made or later reclassify such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant; and (y) in the event a Restricted Payment is made pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company will be permitted to classify whether all or any portion thereof is being (and in the absence of such classification shall be deemed to have classified the minimum amount possible as having been) made with Incremental Funds.
 
Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Equity Interests
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, issue any Disqualified Equity Interests; provided, however, that the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Equity Interests, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Equity Interest are issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or Disqualified Equity Interest had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.
The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”) or the issuance of any Disqualified Equity Interests described in clause (11) below:
 
 
(1)
the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (including letters of credit) under one or more Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) after giving effect to such incurrence (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed $170.0 million plus an amount equal to the greater of $120.0 million and 20.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets;
 
 
(2)
the incurrence by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness under clause (3));
 
 
(3)
the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by (a) the notes issued and  sold in this offering and the related Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued on the date of the indenture and (b) the Exchange Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees issued pursuant to any registration rights agreement;
 
 
(4)
the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (or Capital Stock of an entity owning such), provided that after giving effect to any such incurrence, the principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4) and then outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), does not exceed the greater of (a) $40.0 million or (b) 5.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at such time;
 
 
(5)
the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund Indebtedness that was permitted by the indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clause (2) or (3) of this paragraph or this clause (5);
 
 
(6)
the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:
 
 
(i)
if the Company is the obligor on such Indebtedness and a Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the notes, or if a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and neither the Company nor another Guarantor is the obligee, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor; and
 
 
(ii)
(i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither the Company nor a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);
 
 
(7)
the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations;
 
(8)
the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Acquired Debt in connection with a merger or consolidation meeting any one of the financial tests set forth in clause (4) under the caption “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets”;
 
 
(9)
the guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the notes, then the guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;
 
 
(10)
the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of bid, performance, surety and similar bonds issued for the account of the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, including guarantees and obligations of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to letters of credit supporting such obligations (in each case other than an obligation for money borrowed);
 
 
(11)
the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any preferred securities; provided, however, that:
 
 
(i)
any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred securities being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and
 
 
(ii)
any sale or other transfer of any such preferred securities to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred securities by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (11); and
 
 
(12)
the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount then outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (a) $40.0 million or (b) 5.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.
 
The Company will not incur, and will not permit Finance Corp.  or any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company, Finance Corp.  or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the notes and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness of a Person will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of such Person solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis.
 
For purposes of determining compliance with this “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Equity Interests” covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (12) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant.  Any Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities on the date of the indenture shall be considered incurred under clause (1) of the second paragraph of this covenant and will not later be reclassified.
 
The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Equity Interest in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Equity Interest will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Equity Interest for purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.  Further, the accounting reclassification of any obligation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as Indebtedness will not be deemed an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant.
Liens
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness or Attributable Debt upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless the notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, is secured on an equal and ratable basis with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of obligations subordinated in right of payment to the notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be) the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien (other than Permitted Liens).
 
Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:
 
 
(1)
pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the priority that any series of preferred securities of a Restricted Subsidiary has in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions before dividends or liquidating distributions are paid in respect of common stock of such Restricted Subsidiary shall not constitute a restriction on its ability to make dividends or distributions on its Capital Stock for purposes of this covenant;
 
 
(2)
make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary will not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or
 
 
(3)
transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.
 
However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:
 
 
(1)
agreements as in effect on the date of the indenture (including the Credit Agreement) and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements or the Indebtedness to which they relate, provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend, distribution and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of the indenture;
 
 
(2)
the indenture, the notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees;
 
 
(3)
applicable law;
 
 
(4)
any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was otherwise permitted by the terms of the indenture to be incurred;
 
(5)
customary non-assignment provisions in Hydrocarbon purchase and sale or exchange agreements or similar operational agreements or in licenses or leases, in each case entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;
 
 
(6)
Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;
 
 
(7)
any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;
 
 
(8)
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;
 
 
(9)
Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described above under the caption “—Liens” that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;
 
 
(10)
provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;
 
 
(11)
any agreement or instrument relating to any property or assets acquired after the date of the indenture, so long as such encumbrance or restriction relates only to the property or assets so acquired and is not and was not created in anticipation of such acquisitions;
 
 
(12)
restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;
 
 
(13)
any instrument governing Indebtedness of an FERC Subsidiary, provided that such Indebtedness was otherwise permitted by the terms of the indenture to be incurred;
 
 
(14)
with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary, any encumbrance or restriction contained in the terms of any Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness was incurred if either (a) the encumbrance or restriction applies only in the event of a Payment Default or a default with respect to a financial covenant in such Indebtedness or agreement or (b) the Company determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the notes, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the General Partner, whose determination shall be conclusive; and
 
 
(15)
any other agreement governing Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is permitted to be incurred by the covenant described under “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Equity Interests”; provided, however, that such encumbrances or restrictions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the indenture or the Credit Agreement as it exists on the date of the indenture.
 
Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets
 
Neither of the Issuers may, directly or indirectly:  (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not such Issuer is the survivor); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to another Person; unless:
 
 
(1)
either:  (a) such Issuer is the survivor; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided, however, that Finance Corp.  may not consolidate or merge with or into any Person other than a corporation satisfying such requirement so long as the Company is not a corporation;
 
(2)
the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made expressly assumes all the obligations of such Issuer under the notes, the indenture and the registration rights agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee;
 
 
(3)
immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists;
 
 
(4)
in the case of a transaction involving the Company and not Finance Corp., either:
 
 
(i)
the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made will, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Equity Interests”; or
 
 
(ii)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made will be equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately before such transaction; and
 
 
(5)
such Issuer has delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or disposition and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the indenture and all conditions precedent therein relating to such transaction have been satisfied.
 
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Company is permitted to reorganize as any other form of entity in accordance with the following procedures provided that:
 
 
(1)
the reorganization involves the conversion (by merger, sale, contribution or exchange of assets or otherwise) of the Company into a form of entity other than a limited partnership formed under Delaware law;
 
 
(2)
the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
 
 
(3)
the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization assumes all the obligations of the Company under the notes, the indenture and the registration rights agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee;
 
 
(4)
immediately after such reorganization no Default or Event of Default exists; and
 
 
(5)
such reorganization is not materially adverse to the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the notes (for purposes of this clause (5) a reorganization will not be considered materially adverse to the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the notes solely because the successor or survivor of such reorganization (a) is subject to federal or state income taxation as an entity or (b) is considered to be an “includible corporation” of an affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504(b) of the Code or any similar state or local law).
A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless the transaction results in either an assumption or release of its Subsidiary Guarantee as described above under “—Subsidiary Guarantees.”
 
Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law.  Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of a Person.
 
Transactions with Affiliates
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:
 
 
(1)
the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and
 
 
(2)
the Company delivers to the trustee, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the General Partner set forth in an officers’ certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with the preceding clause (1) of this covenant and has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner.
 
The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:
 
 
(1)
any employment, equity award, equity option or equity appreciation agreement or plan entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and any payments or awards pursuant thereto;
 
 
(2)
transactions between or among any of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;
 
 
(3)
transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns an Equity Interest in such Person;
 
 
(4)
transactions permitted by the terms of (a) the Partnership Agreement with respect to accounting, treasury, information technology, insurance and other corporate services, general overhead and other administrative matters, (b) the Services Agreement and (c) the Brock Maintenance Contracts, in each case as such agreements are in effect on the date of the indenture, and any amendment or replacement of any of such agreements so long as such amendment or replacement agreement is no less advantageous to the Company in any material respect than the agreement so amended or replaced;
 
 
(5)
customary compensation, indemnification and other benefits made available to officers, directors or employees of the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or the General Partner, including reimbursement or advancement of out-of-pocket expenses and provisions of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance;
 
(6)
sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interest) to Affiliates of the Company; and
 
 
(7)
Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments that are permitted by the provisions of the indenture described above under the caption “—Restricted Payments.”
 
Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries
 
The Board of Directors of the General Partner may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default or Event of Default.  If a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be either (a) an Investment made as of the time of the designation that will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption “—Restricted Payments” or (b) a Permitted Investment, as determined by the Company.  That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Subsidiary so designated otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
 
The Board of Directors of the General Partner may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described above under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Equity Interests,” calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period, and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.
 
Additional Subsidiary Guarantees
 
If, after the date of the indenture, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not already a Guarantor guarantees any other Indebtedness of either of the Issuers or any Guarantor, then that Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the trustee within ten Business Days of the date on which it guaranteed or incurred such Indebtedness, as the case may be; provided, however, that the preceding shall not apply to Subsidiaries of the Company that have properly been designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the indenture for so long as they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding the preceding, any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Restricted Subsidiary that was incurred pursuant to this paragraph will be released in the circumstances described in clause (5) under “—Subsidiary Guarantees.”
 
Sale and Leaseback Transactions
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction; provided, however, that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if:
 
 
(1)
the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Equity Interests” and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to the covenant described above under the caption “—Liens”;
 
 
(2)
the gross cash proceeds of that Sale and Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value, as determined in accordance with the definition of that term; and
 
 
(3)
the transfer of assets in that Sale and Leaseback Transaction is permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with, the covenant described above under the caption “—Redemption at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales.”
Business Activities
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Permitted Business, except to such an extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
 
Finance Corp.  may not incur Indebtedness unless (1) the Company is a co-obligor or guarantor of such Indebtedness or (2) the net proceeds of such Indebtedness are loaned to the Company or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries, used to acquire outstanding debt securities issued by the Company or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries or used to repay Indebtedness of the Company or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries as permitted under the covenant described about under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Equity Interests.” Finance Corp.  may not engage in any business not related directly or indirectly to obtaining money or arranging financing for the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries.
 
Reports
 
Whether or not required by the SEC, so long as any notes are outstanding, the Company will file with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing), and the Company will furnish to the trustee and, upon its prior request, to any of the Holders or Beneficial Owners of notes, within five Business Days of filing, or attempting to file, the same with the SEC:
 
 
(1)
all quarterly and annual financial and other information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s certified independent accountants; and
 
 
(2)
all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.
 
The availability of the foregoing information on the SEC’s website will be deemed to satisfy the foregoing delivery requirements.
 
If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then, to the extent material, the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company.
 
In addition, the Issuers and the Guarantors have agreed that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, they will furnish to the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors in the notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
 
Any and all Defaults or Events of Default arising from a failure to furnish or file in a timely manner any information or report required by this covenant shall be deemed cured (and the Company shall be deemed to be in compliance with this covenant) upon furnishing or filing such information or report as contemplated by this covenant (but without regard to the date on which such information or report is so furnished or filed); provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the Holders under “—Events of Default and Remedies” if principal, premium, if any, and interest have been accelerated in accordance with the terms of the indenture and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure.
Covenant Termination
 
If at any time (a) the rating assigned to the notes by both S&P and Moody’s is an Investment Grade Rating, (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture and (c) the Issuers have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate certifying to the foregoing provisions of this sentence, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the provisions of the indenture described above under the caption “Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales” and the following provisions of the indenture described above under the caption “—Certain Covenants”:
 
· “—Restricted Payments,”
 
· “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Equity Interests,”
 
· “—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries,”
 
· “—Transactions with Affiliates,” and
 
· “—Business Activities.”
 
However, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will remain subject to the provisions of the indenture described above under the caption “Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control,” and the following provisions of the indenture described above under the caption “—Covenants”:
 
· “—Liens,”
 
· “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” (other than the financial test set forth in clause (4) of such covenant),
 
· “—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries,”
 
· “—Additional Subsidiary Guarantees,”
 
· “—Reports,”
 
· “—Sale and Leaseback Transactions” (other than the financial tests set forth in clauses (1)(a) and (1)(b) of such covenant), and
 
· the covenant respecting payments for consent described below in the last paragraph under the caption “—Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.”
 
There can be no assurance that the notes will ever be assigned or maintain an Investment Grade Rating.
 
Events of Default and Remedies
 
Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:
 
 
(1)
default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the notes;
 
 
(2)
default in payment when due (at final maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the notes;
 
 
(3)
failure by the Company or any Guarantor to comply with the provisions described under the captions “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales,” “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control” or “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets”;
 
(4)
failure by the Company for 180 days after notice to comply with the provisions described under “—Certain Covenants—Reports”;
 
 
(5)
failure by the Company for 60 days after notice to comply with any of the other agreements in the indenture;
 
 
(6)
default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the indenture, if that default:
 
 
(i)
is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or
 
 
(ii)
results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity,
 
and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $30.0 million or more; provided that if any such Payment Default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such Indebtedness is repaid, within a period of 30 days from the continuation of such Payment Default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration of the notes shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree;
 
 
(7)
failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $30.0 million (to the extent not covered by insurance by a reputable and creditworthy insurer as to which the insurer has not disclaimed coverage), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;
 
 
(8)
except as permitted by the indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; and
 
 
(9)
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization described in the indenture with respect to Finance Corp., the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company.
 
In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to Finance Corp., the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, all outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.  If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately.
 
Holders of the notes may not enforce the indenture or the notes except as provided in the indenture.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The trustee may withhold notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default from Holders of the notes if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the notes.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding by notice to the trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the notes.
 
The Issuers are required to deliver to the trustee annually an officers’ certificate regarding compliance with the indenture.  Upon any officer of the General Partner or Finance Corp.  becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers are required to deliver to the trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
 
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Unitholders and No Recourse to General Partner
 
Neither the General Partner nor any director, officer, partner, employee, incorporator, manager or unitholder or other owner of Capital Stock of the Issuers, the General Partner or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or any Guarantor under the notes, the indenture or the Subsidiary Guarantees, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes.  The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
 
Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
 
The Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have all of their obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantees (“Legal Defeasance”), except for:
 
 
(1)
the rights of Holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, and interest or premium, if any, on such notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;
 
 
(2)
the Issuers’ obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;
 
 
(3)
the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee, and the Issuers’ obligations in connection therewith; and
 
 
(4)
the “Legal Defeasance” provisions of the indenture.
 
In addition, the Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have their obligations released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes.  In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events) described under “—Events of Default and Remedies” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes.  If the Issuers exercise either their Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance option, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and any security for the notes (other than the trust) will be released.
 
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:
 
 
(1)
the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding notes on the date of fixed maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers must specify whether the notes are being defeased to the date of fixed maturity or to a particular redemption date;
 
(2)
in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that:
 
 
(i)
the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or
 
 
(ii)
since the date of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,
 
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
 
 
(3)
in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
 
 
(4)
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);
 
 
(5)
such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;
 
 
(6)
the Issuers must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of preferring the Holders of notes over the other creditors of the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuers or others; and
 
 
(7)
the Issuers must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.
 
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
 
Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the indenture or the notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the indenture or the notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes).
 
Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any notes held by a non-consenting Holder):
 
 
(1)
reduce the principal amount of notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
 
(2)
reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the notes (other than provisions relating to the covenants described above under the caption “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders”);
 
 
(3)
reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any note;
 
 
(4)
waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding and a waiver of the Payment Default that resulted from such acceleration);
 
 
(5)
make any note payable in currency other than that stated in the notes;
 
 
(6)
make any change in the provisions of the indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or Events of Defaults or the rights of Holders of notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the notes (other than as permitted in clause (7) below);
 
 
(7)
waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any note (other than a payment required by one of the covenants described above under the caption “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders”);
 
 
(8)
release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or the indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the indenture; or
 
 
(9)
make any change in the preceding amendment, supplement and waiver provisions.
 
Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any Holder of notes, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the trustee may amend or supplement the indenture or the notes:
 
 
(1)
to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
 
 
(2)
to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of notes in registered, certificated form (“Certificated Notes”);
 
 
(3)
to provide for the assumption of an Issuer’s obligations to Holders of notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of such Issuer’s properties or assets;
 
 
(4)
to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the indenture of any such Holder, provided that any change to conform the indenture to this prospectus will not be deemed to adversely affect such legal rights;
 
 
(5)
to secure the notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees pursuant to the requirements of the covenant described above under the subheading “—Certain Covenants—Liens”;
 
 
(6)
to provide for the issuance of additional notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the indenture;
 
 
(7)
to add any additional Guarantor or to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee, in each case as provided in the indenture;
 
 
(8)
to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;
 
(9)
to provide for the reorganization of the Company as any other form of entity in accordance with the second paragraph under “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets”; or
 
 
(10)
to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the indenture of a successor trustee.
 
Satisfaction and Discharge
 
The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the notes and as otherwise specified in the indenture), when:
 
 
(1)
either:
 
 
(i)
all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or
 
 
(ii)
all notes that have not been delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise and the Issuers or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of fixed maturity or redemption (provided that if such redemption is made as provided in the last paragraph under “—Optional Redemption,” (x) the amount of cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, that must be irrevocably deposited will be determined using an assumed Make Whole Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit and (y) the depositor must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the redemption date as necessary to pay the Make Whole Premium as determined by such date);
 
 
(2)
in the case of clause (1)(b) above, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings), and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material agreement or instrument (other than the agreements or instruments governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;
 
 
(3)
the Issuers or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the indenture; and
 
 
(4)
the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the trustee under the indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the notes at fixed maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.
 
In addition, the Issuers must deliver an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel to the trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Concerning the Trustee
 
If the trustee becomes a creditor of an Issuer or any Guarantor, the indenture will limit its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise.  The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act) after a Default has occurred and is continuing, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue or resign.
 
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain exceptions.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its powers, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs.  Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any Holder of notes, unless such Holder has offered to the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.
 
Governing Law
 
The indenture, the notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
 
Additional Information
 
Anyone who receives this prospectus may obtain a copy of the indenture and registration rights agreement without charge by writing to PetroLogistics LP at 600 Travis Street, Houston, Texas 77002, Attention:  Chief Financial Officer.
 
Book-Entry, Delivery and Form
 
Except as set forth below, notes will be issued in registered, global form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
 
The Global Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.  Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for Certificated Notes except in the limited circumstances described below.  See “—Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes.”  Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of  beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical certificates.
 
Depository Procedures
 
The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience.  These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them.  We take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.
 
DTC has advised the Issuers that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the “Participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between the Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants.  The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations.  Access to DTC’s system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the “Indirect Participants”).  Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants.  The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.
DTC has also advised the Issuers that, pursuant to procedures established by it:
 
 
(1)
upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of the Participants designated by the initial purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and
 
 
(2)
ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes).
 
Investors in the Global Notes who are Participants in DTC’s system may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the Global Notes who are not Participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations (including Euroclear and Clearstream) which are Participants in such system.  Euroclear and Clearstream may hold interests in the Global Notes on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositories, which are Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of Euroclear, and Citibank, N.A., as operator of Clearstream.  All interests in a Global Note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems.
 
The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own.  Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that extent.  Because DTC can act only on behalf of the Participants, which in turn act on behalf of the Indirect Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.
 
Except as described below, owners of a beneficial interest in the Global Notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of Certificated Notes and will not be considered the registered owners or “Holders” thereof under the indenture for any purpose.
 
Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered Holder under the indenture.  Under the terms of the indenture, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes.  Consequently, neither the Issuers, the Guarantors, the trustee nor any agent of an Issuer or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:
 
 
(1)
any aspect of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or
 
 
(2)
any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.
 
DTC has advised the Issuers that its current practice, at the due date of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes, is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date.  Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the notes as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee or the Issuers.  Neither the Issuers nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and the Issuers and the trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.
Subject to the transfer restrictions set forth under “Notice to Investors,” transfers between the Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC’s procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.
 
Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the notes described herein, cross-market transfers between the Participants in DTC, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its depository; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system.  Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its depository to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.
 
DTC has advised the Issuers that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a Holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction.  However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for Certificated Notes, and to distribute such notes to its Participants.
 
Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Rule 144A Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes among participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and may discontinue such procedures at any time.  None of the Issuers, the trustee or any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants, or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.
 
Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes
 
A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, if:
 
 
(1)
DTC (a) notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Note or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and in either event the Issuers fail to appoint a successor depositary within 90 days; or
 
 
(2)
there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default and DTC notifies the trustee of its decision to exchange the Global Note for Certificated Notes.
 
In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and will bear the restrictive legend referred to in “Notice to Investors,” unless that legend is not required by applicable law.
 
Exchange of Certificated Notes for Global Notes
 
Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any Global Note (except in the limited circumstances provided in the indenture).
Same-Day Settlement and Payment
 
The Issuers will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Global Note Holder.  The Issuers will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders of the Certificated Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such Holder’s registered address.  The notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to be eligible to trade in DTC’s same-day funds settlement system, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds.  The Issuers expect that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.
 
Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised the Issuers that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a Participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.

(2)
the Consolidated Cash Flow attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations or businesses disposed of prior to the Calculation Date, will be excluded;
 
(3)
the Fixed Charges attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations or businesses disposed of prior to the Calculation Date, will be excluded, but only to the extent that the obligations giving rise to such Fixed Charges will not be obligations of the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries following the Calculation Date;
 
 
(4)
any Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary of the specified Person on the Calculation Date will be deemed to have been a Restricted Subsidiary of the specified Person at all times during such four-quarter period;
 
 
(5)
any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the specified Person on the Calculation Date will be deemed not to have been a Restricted Subsidiary of the specified Person at any time during such four-quarter period; and

(2)

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
You may transfer new notes issued under the exchange offer in exchange for the old notes if:
 
· you acquire the new notes in the ordinary course of your business;
 
· you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of such new notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act; and
 
· you are not our “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act).
 
Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for old notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes.  This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities.
 
If you wish to exchange new notes for your old notes in the exchange offer, you will be required to make representations to us as described in “Exchange Offer—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer” and “—Procedures for Tendering—Your Representations to Us” in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.  In addition, if you are a broker-dealer who receives new notes for your own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired by you as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you will be required to acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale by you of such new notes.
 
We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of new notes by broker-dealers.  New notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in any of the following ways:
 
· in the over-the-counter market;
 
· in negotiated transactions;
 
· through the writing of options on the new notes or a combination of such methods of resale;
 
· at market prices prevailing at the time of resale;
 
· at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or
 
· at negotiated prices.
 
Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such new notes.
 
Any broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for old notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of new notes received by it in the exchange offer.  The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.  We agreed to permit the use of this prospectus for a period of up to 180 days after the completion of the exchange offer by such broker-dealers to satisfy this prospectus delivery requirement.  Furthermore, we agree to amend or supplement this prospectus during such period, if so requested, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any new notes by broker-dealers.
 
We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer, other than fees and expenses of counsel to the holders and brokerage commissions and transfer taxes, if any, and will indemnify the holders of the old notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to the exchange of old notes for new notes, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects.  The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Treasury Regulations, Internal Revenue Service rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which may be subject to change at any time by legislative, judicial or administrative action.  These changes may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of new notes.  We cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described in this discussion, and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel with respect to the U.S. federal tax consequences described herein.  Some holders, including financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or currencies, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, or persons who hold the notes as part of a hedge, conversion transaction, straddle or other risk reduction transaction may be subject to special rules not discussed below.
 
We recommend that each holder consult his own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences of exchanging such holder’s old notes for new notes, including the applicability and effect of any foreign, state, local or other tax laws or estate or gift tax considerations.
 
We believe that the exchange of old notes for new notes will not be an exchange or otherwise a taxable event to a holder for United States federal income tax purposes.  Accordingly, a holder will not recognize gain or loss upon receipt of a new note in exchange for an old note in the exchange, and the holder’s basis and holding period in the new note will be the same as its basis and holding period in the corresponding old note immediately before the exchange.
 
LEGAL MATTERS
 
The validity of the new notes offered in this exchange offer will be passed upon for us by Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., New York, New York.

The undersigned hereby acknowledges receipt of the Prospectus, dated              , 2014 (the “Prospectus”), of PetroLogistics LP and PetroLogistics Finance Corp. (collectively, the “Issuers”), and this Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which together describe the Issuer’s offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange its issued and outstanding 6.25% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “old notes”) for a like principal amount of its 6.25% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “new notes”) that have been registered under the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meaning given to them in the Prospectus.
The Issuers reserve the right, at any time or from time to time, to extend the Exchange Offer at their discretion, in which event the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest date to which the Exchange Offer is extended.  In order to extend the exchange offer, we will notify the exchange agent orally or in writing of any extension. We will notify the registered holders of old notes of the extension by a press release issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.
 
This Letter of Transmittal is to be used by holders of the old notes.  Tender of old notes is to be made according to the Automated Tender Offer Program, or ATOP, of the Depository Trust Company, or DTC, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the prospectus under the caption “Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering.” DTC participants that are accepting the Exchange Offer must transmit their acceptance to DTC, which will verify the acceptance and execute a book-entry delivery to the Exchange Agent’s DTC account.  DTC will then send a computer-generated message known as an “agent’s message” to the exchange agent for its acceptance.  For you to validly tender your old notes in the Exchange Offer, the Exchange Agent must receive, prior to the Expiration Date, an agent’s message under the ATOP procedures that confirms that:
 
· DTC has received your instructions to tender your old notes; and
 
· you agree to be bound by the terms of this Letter of Transmittal.
 
BY USING THE ATOP PROCEDURES TO TENDER OLD NOTES, YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO DELIVER THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT.  HOWEVER, YOU WILL BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS, AND YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IT CONTAINS, JUST AS IF YOU HAD SIGNED IT.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
Item 20.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
The section of the prospectus entitled "The Partnership Agreement—Indemnification" is incorporated herein by reference and discloses that we will generally indemnify the directors and officers of our general partner to the fullest extent permitted by law against all losses, claims, damages or similar events. Subject to any terms, conditions or restrictions set forth in our partnership agreement, Section 17-108 of the Delaware Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against all claims and demands whatsoever.
 
Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that a Delaware limited liability company may indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. The limited liability company agreement of PetroLogistics GP LLC, our general partner, provides for the indemnification of its directors and officers against liabilities they incur in their capacities as such. We may enter into indemnity agreements with each of its current directors and officers to give these directors and officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in our general partner's limited liability company agreement and to provide additional procedural protections.
 
Any underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the sale of the securities offered pursuant to this registration statement will provide for indemnification of officers and directors of the general partner, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item 22.  Undertakings.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by any registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of a registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, such registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
Each registrant hereby undertakes:
 
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
 
 
(a)
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
 
(b)
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(c)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement, or any material change to such information in this registration statement.
 
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if such registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
That, for the purpose of determining liability of such registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of such registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
 
(a)
any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
 
(b)
any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of such registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrants;
 
 
(c)
the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrants or their securities provided by or on behalf of such registrant; and
 
 
(d)
any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by such registrant to the purchaser.
 
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of a registrant annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
To respond to requests for information that are incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means.  This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
 
To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
