Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Effective December 20, 2018, Rhino Energy LLC (“Rhino Energy”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rhino Resource Partners LP (the “Partnership”), certain of Rhino Energy’s subsidiaries identified as Borrowers (together with Rhino Energy, the “Borrowers”), the Partnership and certain other Rhino Energy subsidiaries identified as Guarantors (together with the Partnership, the “Guarantors”), entered into a limited waiver and consent (the “Waiver”) to the Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) originally executed on December 27, 2017 with Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent, CB Agent Services LLC, as Origination Agent and the parties identified as Lenders therein (the “Lenders”). The Waiver relates to the sales by Rhino Energy of certain real property in Western Colorado, the net proceeds of which are required to be used to reduce the Borrowers’ debt under the Financing Agreement. To date, Rhino Energy has sold 9 individual lots in smaller transactions for a total of approximately $380,000. Rather than transmitting net proceeds with respect to each individual transaction, the Borrowers and Lenders agreed in principle to delay repayment until an aggregate payment could be made at the end of 2018. The Waiver (i) contains a ratification by the Lenders of the sale of the individual lots to date and waives the associated technical defaults under the Financing Agreement for not making immediate payments of net proceeds therefrom, (ii) permits the sale of certain specified additional lots and (iii) subject to Lender consent, permits the sale of other lots on a going forward basis. The net proceeds of future sales will be held by Rhino Energy until a later date to be determined by the Lenders.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Waiver, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.
