Item 1.01                      Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 11, 2013, Copano Energy, L.L.C. ("Copano"), Copano Energy Finance Corporation ("Copano Finance" and, together with Copano, the "Issuers"), certain of Copano's subsidiaries, as guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), entered into a Fourth Supplemental Indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture") to the Indenture, dated April 5, 2011, by and among the Issuers, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee, as amended (the "Indenture ") following Copano's receipt of the requisite consents of the holders of its 7.125% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "Notes") pursuant to a consent solicitation that commenced on March 28, 2013.
As previously announced, on January 29, 2013, Copano and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. ("Kinder Morgan") entered into a definitive merger agreement, pursuant to which Copano will become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Kinder Morgan.  Completion of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including approval by Copano's unitholders.  The Supplemental Indenture amends the Indenture to:
·
modify the reporting covenant in Section 5.03 of the Indenture to provide that, in the event Kinder Morgan guarantees the Notes, the reports that Kinder Morgan files with the SEC will be required to be furnished to the Trustee and holders of Notes in lieu of Copano's SEC reports; and
·
add provisions regarding the unconditional guarantee of the Notes by Kinder Morgan.
Kinder Morgan has undertaken to the Trustee to guarantee the Notes subject to the completion of the merger.
Copies of the Supplemental Indenture and a press release announcing the completion of Copano's consent solicitation are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 99.1, respectively, to this report.
