Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Seven Year Fixed Facility
On July 31, 2018, Shell Midstream Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) and Shell Treasury Center (West) Inc. (“STCW”), an affiliate of the Partnership, entered into a seven-year fixed rate credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $600.0 million (the “Seven Year Fixed Facility”). The Partnership incurred an issuance fee of $1.3 million, which will be paid on or about August 7, 2018. The Seven Year Fixed Facility bears an interest rate of 4.06% per annum and matures on July 31, 2025. The Seven Year Fixed Facility contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lender to accelerate the maturity date of amounts borrowed under the Seven Year Fixed Facility. The Seven Year Fixed Facility was fully drawn on August 1, 2018 and the borrowings were used to partially repay borrowings under the Partnership’s five year revolving credit facility with STCW due December 2022.
The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Seven Year Fixed Facility, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Borrowings under the Five Year Revolver due July 2023 will still bear interest at LIBOR rate plus a margin. There is no issuance fee associated with this amendment. All other material terms and conditions of the Five Year Revolver due July 2023 were unchanged.
The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment and restatement to the Five Year Revolver due July 2023, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

9.1
Absence of quotations
Subject to Clause 9.2, if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11 a.m. on the Quotation Day, the 3 month LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

9.2
Market disruption
(a)
In this Third Amended and Restated Agreement " Market Disruption Event " means at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period if the Screen Rate is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Lender to determine 3 month LIBOR for US Dollars.

If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the rate notified to the Borrower by the Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Loan, to be that which expresses the latest Screen Rate available before 11 a.m. on the Quotation Day for the offering of deposits in US Dollars for a three (3) month period.

10.
INCREASED COSTS

10.1
Increased costs
(a)
Subject to Clause 10.2 the Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days of a demand by the Lender, pay the amount of any Increased Costs incurred by the Lender or any of its Affiliates as

10.2
Exceptions

12.
MITIGATION BY THE LENDER
