Revolving Credit Facility

On October 16, 2013, the Partnership entered into a Credit Agreement among the Partnership, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Well Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility, expiring October 16, 2018, that includes a $25.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swing line loans. The revolving credit facility will be available to fund working capital, acquisitions, distributions and capital expenditures and for other general partnership purposes. The Partnership also has the ability to increase the maximum amount of the revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $200.0 million, for a total facility size of up to $500.0 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from lenders or other financial institutions and satisfaction of certain conditions.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at either a base rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75%, or a Eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%. The applicable margin will vary based upon the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the unused portion of the revolving credit facility will be subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.50%, based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Partnership and its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee debt, grant liens on their assets, make investments, make cash distributions, redeem or repurchase units, amend material contracts, engage in business activities (other than lines of business as of October 16, 2013), engage in mergers, consolidations and other organizational changes, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets or enter into burdensome agreements or enter into non-arms-length transactions with affiliates.

Obligations under the Credit Agreement and certain cash management and hedging obligations will be guaranteed by all subsidiaries of the Partnership as of the date hereof and, with certain exceptions, any subsidiaries formed or acquired after the date hereof, and will be secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Partnership’s and such subsidiaries’ material assets.

The Credit Agreement requires the Partnership to maintain the following financial ratios, each tested on a quarterly basis for the immediately preceding four quarter period then ended: (a) consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to interest expense of at least 2.50 to 1.00, (b) funded debt (net of up to $20 million of unrestricted cash) to consolidated EBITDA of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00 (or 4.50 to 1.00 at any time after the Partnership has issued at least $100 million of unsecured notes) and (c) after the Partnership has issued at least $100 million of unsecured notes, funded debt secured by liens (net of up to $20 million of unrestricted cash) to consolidated EBITDA of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00.

The Credit Agreement contains events of default, including, but not limited to (and subject to grace periods in certain circumstances), the failure to pay any principal, interest or fees when due, failure to perform or observe any covenant contained in the Credit Agreement or related documentation, any representation or warranty made in the Credit Agreement or related documentation being untrue in any material respect when made, default under certain material debt agreements, commencement of bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, certain changes in ownership of the Partnership or the ownership or board composition of the general partner of the Partnership and material judgments or orders. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the lenders may, among other things, terminate their commitments, declare any outstanding loans to be immediately due and payable and/or exercise remedies against the loan parties and the collateral as may be available to the lenders under the Credit Agreement and related documentation or applicable law.
