(“ONEOK Partners GP”), the Partnership’s sole general partner, amended certain provisions of Section 4.12 of ONEOK Partners GP’s Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, which relates to “interested directors.” Among other things, the amendments clarify provisions relating to contracts or transactions involving an interested director and the circumstances in which a director will be deemed to have a financial interest in another company. The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to such amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report, and is incorporated herein by reference.
