 Exhibit 10.1 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO 

OMNIBUS AGREEMENT 

This Amendment No. 1, dated as of June 1, 2010 (this “Amendment”), to the Omnibus Agreement entered into and
effective as of July 2, 2007 (the “Original Agreement”), is entered into by and among Spectra Energy Corp, a Delaware corporation (“Spectra”), Spectra Energy Partners GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“GP LLC”), Spectra Energy Partners (DE) GP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “General Partner”) and Spectra Energy Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”).
The above-named entities are sometimes referred to in this Agreement each as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” 

WHEREAS, The Original Agreement provides for the provision of certain services and indemnities by the General Partner; and 

WHEREAS, The Parties desire by their execution of this Amendment to modify the previous agreement set forth in the Original Agreement,
with respect to the amount to be paid by the Partnership for certain general and administrative services to be performed by Spectra and its Affiliates (as such term is defined in the Original Agreement); 

NOW, THERETOFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Amendments.

  

	 	A.	Effective as of the date hereof, Section 3.1(c) of the Original Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows: 

“The amount for which Spectra shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership Group pursuant to
Section 3.1(b) for Corporate Governance services shall not exceed $3.6 million per calendar year (the “G&A Expenses Limit”) for a period from July 2, 2010 through December 31, 2013, which amount shall be pro-rated
during the period from July 2, 2010 through December 31, 2010. The G&A Expenses Limit shall be increased for the calendar years 2012 and 2013 by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index – All Urban Consumers, U.S. City
Average, Not Seasonally Adjusted over the prior year period based on the most recent information available from the U.S. Department of Labor. In the event that the Partnership Group makes any acquisitions of assets or businesses or the business of
the Partnership Group otherwise expands during the first three (3) years following the date of this Agreement, then the G&A Expenses Limit shall be appropriately increased in order to account for adjustments in the nature and extent of the
Corporate Governance services provided by Spectra to the Partnership Group, with any such increase in the G&A Expenses Limit subject to the approval of the Conflicts Committee. After 

 

 1 

 
December 31, 2013, the G&A Expenses Limit will no longer apply and the General Partner will determine the amount of expenses for Corporate Governance services that will be properly
allocated to the Partnership in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The G&A Expenses Limit shall not apply to reimbursement for direct expenses of the Partnership as provided in Section 3.2.” 

 

	 	B.	Effective as of the date hereof, the Original Agreement shall be amended by adding a new Section 3.1(e) which shall read in its entirety as follows:

 “During the period for which a G&A Expenses Limit is in effect pursuant to
Section 3.1(c), payments for reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.1(b) shall be made on or prior to the tenth day following the end of each month, beginning on August 10, 2010 (each a “Payment Date”). On each Payment
Date, the Partnership Group shall make a payment to Spectra or its designee equal to one-twelfth the G&A Expenses Limit in effect during the month prior to such Payment Date; provided that payments with respect to any partial period shall be
pro-rated for the actual number of days in such period. Following the end of each fiscal year for which payments are made under this Section 3.1(e), Spectra shall timely prepare a schedule of the actual amounts due under Section 3.1(c) for
such fiscal year. If such amounts are less than the G&A Expenses Limit in effect for such period, Spectra shall repay the difference between the reimbursable amounts and the amounts paid by the Partnership Group to Spectra. Any repayment may be
satisfied by offsetting amounts from subsequent payments made pursuant to this Section.” 
 2. Miscellaneous. Except
as herein provided, the Original Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same amendatory instrument and any
of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Texas.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement on, and effective as of, this
1st day of June, 2010.

 The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of
Directors of Kohl’s Corporation (“Kohl’s”) has approved granting to the Executive named above (“Executive”) a nonstatutory option (“Option”) to purchase shares of Kohl’s common stock on the terms and

Kohl’s grants to Executive the right and option to purchase, in the aggregate, the number of shares of Kohl’s $0.01 par value common stock
(“Common Shares”) shown above at the option price per share shown above. Except as provided by this Agreement, the Option granted shall be irrevocable. The Common Shares which Executive is entitled to purchase will be either Kohl’s
authorized but unissued common stock or Kohl’s treasury shares. The Option granted is not intended to be treated, and will not be treated, as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. Except as provided herein, the Option shall impose no obligation on Executive to exercise such Option. 
  

	2.	Time Limitations on Exercise of Option. 

Except as provided in Kohl’s 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) or in this Agreement, and unless the Committee establishes
otherwise, Executive may exercise his/her Option to purchase, in whole or in part, not more than that portion of the total number of Common Shares shown above according to the percentages and the anniversary dates specified below:

 Except as provided in the Plan, an employment agreement, executive compensation agreement, or other similar

Date”). This Option may not be exercised for fractional Common Shares. 
  

	3.	Termination of Employment. 

 Except as
provided in an employment agreement, executive compensation agreement, or other similar agreement between Executive and Kohl’s: 
 (a)
If Executive, on a permanent basis, ceases to be actively employed by Kohl’s as a full time employee for any reason other than Retirement, Disability or death, Executive shall have until the earlier of: (i) the Expiration Date;
(ii) ninety (90) days following the date of termination of Executive’s employment with Kohl’s; or (iii) ninety (90) days following the date Executive ceases to be a full time employee, to exercise this Option to the
extent Executive is otherwise entitled to exercise it as provided in Paragraph 2; and 
 (b) To the extent Executive is not entitled to
exercise this Option at the time Executive ceases to be actively employed by Kohl’s as a full time Employee, the outstanding and unexercised portion of the Option shall immediately lapse and Executive shall have no further rights with respect
to it. 
 Nothing contained herein shall limit Kohl’s right to terminate the employment of Executive at any time for any reason. 

	4.	Rights in the Event of Retirement or Disability. 

If Executive’s employment with Kohl’s is terminated due to Retirement (or due to an early retirement approved by the Committee) or
Disability (as each of those terms are defined in the Plan), Executive shall have until the earlier of: (i) the Expiration Date; or (ii) one (1) year from the effective date of such Retirement or Disability to exercise this Option to
the extent to which Executive would otherwise be entitled to exercise it on the effective date of such Retirement or Disability. To the extent Executive is not entitled to exercise any portion of this Option prior to Executive’s Retirement or
Disability, such outstanding and unexercised portion of the Option shall immediately lapse on the date of Executive’s Retirement or Disability. 
  

	5.	Rights In the Event of Executive’s Death. 

In the event of Executive’s death: (i) while actively employed by Kohl’s as a full time employee; or (ii) during any period
following Executive’s Retirement or Disability during which any then outstanding and unexercised Option is exercisable by Executive pursuant to Paragraph 4, the term during which the Option is exercisable shall be the earlier of:

 (a) the expiration of the period during which the Option is exercisable pursuant to Paragraph 4; 

(b) twelve (12) months after the date of Executive’s death; or 

(c) the Expiration Date. 
 In the
event of Executive’s death while actively employed by Kohl’s as a full time employee, the number of Common Shares for which the Option may be exercised shall be the total number of Common Shares granted to Executive pursuant to this Option
Agreement (irrespective of whether they are exercisable on or before the date of Executive’s death) that remain outstanding and unexercised on the date of Executive’s death. In the event of Executive’s death following Executive’s
Retirement or Disability, the number of Common Shares for which the Option may be exercised shall be limited to that number of Common Shares for which Executive would otherwise be entitled to exercise this Option on the date of Executive’s
Retirement or Disability, as provided in Paragraph 4. In the event of Executive’s death, the Option may be exercisable by the beneficiary designated by Executive, if any, or the personal representative, administrator or other representative of
Executive’s estate. 
  

	6.	Rights in the Event of a Change in Control. 

In the event of a Change in Control, the Option shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 19 of the Plan, any references to “cause”
and “good reason” used in Paragraph 19 of the Plan shall be interpreted by applying the definitions of “cause” and “good reason” set forth in any employment agreement, executive compensation agreement, or any similar
agreement between Kohl’s and the Executive in effect as of the date of the Change in Control. 
  

	7.	Method of Exercising Option. 

 The Executive
may exercise the Option on or after the appropriate anniversary date (and before an event of termination) in whole or in part, from time to time in accordance with any manner permitted by Kohl’s in effect on the date of exercise. The Executive
may contact the office of Kohl’s Executive Vice President of Human Resources at the address specified in Paragraph 9 to receive details regarding the manner(s) of exercise permitted by Kohl’s which are in effect on the date of exercise.

 Executive shall not acquire any rights or privileges as a shareholder of Kohl’s for any Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Option
until such Common Shares have been duly issued by Kohl’s. Kohl’s shall have the right to delay the issue or delivery of any Common Shares to be delivered hereunder until (i) the completion of such registration or qualification of such
shares under federal or state law, ruling or regulation as Kohl’s deems to be necessary or advisable; and (ii) receipt from Executive of such documents and information as Kohl’s deems necessary or appropriate in connection with such
registration or qualification or the issuance of Common Shares hereunder. 
  

	8.	Prohibition Against Transfer, Pledge, and Attachment. 

This Option, and the rights and privileges conferred by it, is personal to Executive and, absent a binding court order, may not be transferred,
assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) during Executive’s lifetime and shall be exercisable only by Executive. Executive may transfer this Option, and the rights and privileges conferred by it,
upon Executive’s death, either by will or under the laws of descent and distribution, or by beneficiary designation made in such form and subject to such limitations as may from time to time be acceptable to the Committee and delivered to and
accepted by the Committee. All distributees shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as would Executive if still alive. This Option, and the rights and privileges conferred by it, may not be subjected
to execution, attachment or similar process. 
  

	9.	Notices. 

 Any notice to be given to
Kohl’s under the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the attention of Kohl’s Executive Vice President of Human Resources, N56 W17000 Ridgewood Drive, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin 53051, and any notice to be given to Executive may
be sent to Executive’s address as it appears on the payroll records of Kohl’s, or at such other addresses as either party may designate in writing to the other. 
  

  

	10.	Provisions of the Plan Control. 

 This Option
is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the terms and conditions of the Plan under which it is granted, a copy of which may be obtained from Kohl’s Executive Vice President of Human Resources and the provisions of the Plan
shall be incorporated into and be a part of this Option Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. The Plan empowers the Committee to make interpretations, rules and
regulations under it. Determinations made by the Committee with respect to the Plan shall be binding upon Kohl’s and Executive. 
  

	11.	Taxes. 

 Executive shall pay all taxes
applicable to the grant or exercise of this Option. Kohl’s may require payment of or withhold any tax which it believes is required to be the obligation of Executive as a result of the grant or exercise of this Option, and Kohl’s may defer
making delivery of Common Shares or cash payable hereunder until arrangements satisfactory to Kohl’s have been made for such tax obligations. 
  

	12.	Choice of Law. 

 This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the majority of Executive’s job responsibilities are carried out as of the date of this Agreement. 

Kohl’s has caused this Agreement to be executed and Executive has executed the same as evidence of Executive’s acceptance hereof and upon
the terms and conditions herein set forth as of the grant date shown above.
