Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 2, 2009 (the "Effective Date"), Coffeyville Resources, LLC (the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Energy, Inc. ("CVR"), entered into the Third Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the "Amendment"), which amended the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2006 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). The Amendment permits the Company to incorporate a "FIFO Adjustment" (as defined in the Credit Agreement) into its financial covenant calculations through the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. Previously, the use of the FIFO Adjustment was only permitted on a short-term basis. In addition, the Amendment, among other things, (1) decreases the percentage of excess cash flow during any fiscal year that must be used to prepay the loans,
(2) permits the Company to terminate the Swap Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with J. Aron & Company and to return to the lenders $60 million of funded letter of credit deposits in connection therewith, (3) enables the Company to pay dividends to CVR to allow CVR to make interest payments on any indebtedness it may incur, subject to certain conditions, (4) requires the Company to pay a premium on certain voluntary prepayments and mandatory prepayments of the term loans in an amount equal to (a) 2.00 % for the 1-year period after the Effective Date and (b) 1.00% for the period beginning at the end of such 1-year period and ending on the second anniversary of the Effective Date, (5) provides greater flexibility with respect to the financial covenants by adjusting the Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) to 2.75% and 3.00% respectively, through the remaining term of the Credit Agreement, (6) increases the interest rate margin applicable to the loans by 0.50% if the Company's credit rating drops to the equivalent of a CCC+ or worse and (7) amends the definition of "Change of Control". The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Amendment and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
