This Amendment No. 9 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D first filed August 14, 2014, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 filed on December 8, 2014, that certain Amendment No. 2 filed on May 15, 2015, that certain Amendment No. 3 filed on February 17, 2016, that certain Amendment No. 4 filed on April 6, 2016, that certain Amendment No. 5 filed on April 13, 2016, that certain Amendment No. 6 filed on May 2, 2016, that certain Amendment No. 7 filed on August 12, 2016, and that certain Amendment No. 8 filed on January 13, 2017 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), and as amended by this Amendment No. 9 (this “Schedule 13D”), and is being filed jointly by the Filing Parties with respect to the Common Units, Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units of SXE (as hereinafter defined).  Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Original Schedule 13D, as previously amended.

Item 1.   Security and Issuer

The second paragraph of Item 1 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 
“Southcross Holdings Borrower LP (“SHB”) owns of record 26,492,074 Common Units and all 18,019,811 Class B Convertible Units and 12,213,713 Subordinated Units that are outstanding.  SHB is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Southcross Holdings LP (“Holdings”).  Holdings, through its indirect ownership of SHB, controls the activities of SHB.  Southcross Holdings GP LLC (“Holdings GP”) is the general partner of Holdings and in such capacity, controls the activities of Holdings.  Holdings GP is managed by a board of directors (the “Holdings GP Board”) who have the power and authority to manage and control the business and affairs of Holdings GP, including its control of the activities of Holdings.”

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The fourth paragraph of Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“On November 5, 2014, February 9, 2015, May 8, 2015, August 10, 2015, November 9, 2015, May 9, 2016, August 10, 2016, November 14, 2016, February 14, 2017, May 11, 2017, and August 11, 2017, Holdings received 256,078, 260,558, 265,118, 269,758, 274,478, 284,191, 289,165, 294,226, 299,375, 304,615, and 309,946, respectively, Class B PIK Units from the Issuer as distributions on the Class B Convertible Units pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement.  SHB was entitled to receive from the Issuer, within forty-five (45) days after the quarter ending December 31, 2015, a Class B Quarterly Distribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), consisting of a payment-in-kind distribution on outstanding Class B Convertible Units of additional Class B Convertible Units (the “Class B PIK Units”), in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.   However, the Issuer did not timely make such Class B Quarterly Distribution.  The Partnership Agreement provides that, notwithstanding the Issuer’s failure to make such Class B Quarterly Distribution, the holders entitled to the unpaid Class B PIK Units shall be entitled (i) to Class B Quarterly Distributions in subsequent quarters on such unpaid Class B PIK Units and (ii) to all other rights under the Partnership Agreement as if such unpaid Class B PIK Units had in fact been distributed on the date due (“Unpaid Class B PIK Rights”).  On February 14, 2016, SHB acquired Unpaid Class B PIK Rights equivalent to 279,303 Class B Convertible Units. The Issuer subsequently determined to issue such Class B Convertible Units and issued the 279,303 Class B Convertible Units on May 9, 2016.  As of August 15, 2017, Holdings had received a total of 3,386,811 Class B PIK Units from the Issuer as distributions on the Class B Convertible Units.”

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4(b) of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“SHB acquired 2,116,400 of the Common Units, Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units as part of the consideration for SXE to acquire TexStar’s Rich Gas System through the Drop-Down Contribution as described in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D and to establish a structure for common ownership and control of the Common Units, Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units through Holdings, as a new holding company of SXE, and its general partner Holdings GP, both of which are owned by EIG, Aggregator and the Lenders (as defined in Item 1(g) below). SHB acquired an additional 4,500,000 Common Units as part of the consideration for SXE to acquire certain assets through the Holdings Drop-Down Contribution.  SHB acquired an additional 3,386,811 Class B PIK Units as distributions on the Class B Convertible Units, as described in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D. SHB acquired an additional 8,389,188 Common Units pursuant to the Equity Cure Agreement as an equity cure, as further described in Item 3 and Item 6.  SHB acquired an additional 11,486,486 Common Units in connection with the Fifth Amendment and pursuant to the Equity Cure Agreement, as further described in Item 3 and Item 6. As a result of the relationship of Aggregator to Holdings and Holdings GP, and the relationship of the Filing Parties among themselves, as described in Item 2 and Item 5 of this Schedule 13D, each of the Filing Parties may be deemed to have shared power to vote, or direct the disposition of, and to dispose, or direct the disposition of, the Common Units, Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units held of record by SHB.”

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(a and b) As of August 15, 2017, 48,559,258 Common Units, 18,019,811 Class B Convertible Units and 12,213,713 Subordinated Units are outstanding.  The Class B Convertible Units convert into Common Units at the Class B Conversion Rate on the Class B Conversion Date; the initial Class B Conversion Rate is 1.0 (i.e., one Common Unit for each Class B Convertible Unit). The Subordinated Units convert into Common Units on a one-for-one basis on the expiration of the Subordination Period. Because such Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units were acquired in connection with transactions having the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of SXE, such Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units are considered converted for purposes of the calculations of the amounts noted under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result of the relationship of the Filing Parties to SHB, each of the Filing Parties is deemed to be the beneficial owner, with shared power to vote or direct the vote and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition, of 56,725,598   Common Units, which constitutes approximately 72.0% of the outstanding Common Units (giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units).

SHB was entitled to receive from the Issuer, within forty-five (45) days after the quarter ending December 31, 2015, a Class B Quarterly Distribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), consisting of a payment-in-kind distribution on outstanding Class B Convertible Units of Class B PIK Units, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. However, the Issuer did not timely make such Class B Quarterly Distribution. The Partnership Agreement provides that, notwithstanding the Issuer’s failure to make such Class B Quarterly Distribution, the holders entitled to the unpaid Class B PIK Units shall be entitled to Unpaid Class B PIK Rights. On February 14, 2016, SHB acquired Unpaid Class B PIK Rights equivalent to 279,303 Class B Convertible Units.  The Issuer subsequently determined to issue such Class B Convertible Units and issued the 279,303 Class B Convertible Units on May 9, 2016.
