THIRD AMENDMENT TO RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
THIS DOCUMENT is entered into to be effective as of January 30, 1998,
between KANEB PIPE LINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership
('BORROWER'), Lenders, and CHASE BANK OF TEXAS, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (formerly
known as Texas Commerce Bank National Association, ('AGENT') as Agent for
Lenders.
Borrower, Agent, and Lenders are party to the Restated Credit Agreement
(as amended through the date of this document and as further renewed, extended,
amended, and restated, the ('CREDIT AGREEMENT') dated as of December 22, 1994
providing for a $15,000,000 revolving credit facility (the 'REVOLVING FACILITY')
and the issuance of letters of credit up to an aggregate face amount of
$4,118,000. Borrower, Agent, and Lenders have agreed, upon the following terms
and conditions, to amend the Credit Agreement to provide for (a) an extension of
the stated date of maturity for the Revolving Facility, (b) an increase in the
maximum amount available under the Revolving Facility, and (c) modification of
certain pricing terms. Accordingly, for adequate and sufficient consideration,
Borrower, Agent, and Lenders agree as follows:
1. TERMS AND REFERENCES. Unless otherwise stated in this document, terms
defined in the Credit Agreement have the same meanings when used in
this document.
2. AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT. The Credit Agreement is amended as
follows:
(A) CLAUSE (B) in the definition of LIBOR RATE in SECTION 1 is amended as
follows:
(b) A margin of interest that, for any day, is determined on
the basis of the ratio of the KPP Companies consolidated Funded Debt
to EBITDA, as follows:
RATIO OF FUNDED DEBT TO EBITDA MARGIN
3.00 to 1.00 or more 0.875%
Less than 3.00 to 1.00, but 2.50 to 1.00 or more 0.625%
Less than 2.50 to 1.00, but 2.00 to 1.00 or more 0.500%
Less than 2.00 0.375%
For purposes of calculating that ratio, EBITDA is calculated
for the KPP Companies' most recently-completed-four-fiscal quarters,
and Funded Debt is determined as of the day the margin of interest is
determined. EBITDA is determined from the Current Financials and
related Compliance Certificate then most recently delivered to Agent,
effective as of the date received by Agent. If Borrower fails to timely
furnish to Agent any Financial Statements and related Compliance
Certificates required by this agreement, then the margin of 1.125%
shall apply and remain in effect until Borrower furnishes them to
Agent.
(B) SECTION 1.1 is further amended by entirely amending the definition of
STATED TERMINATION DATE, as follows: STATED TERMINATION DATE means
January 31, 2001.
(C) SECTION 2.1(B) is entirely amended, as follows:
(b) the Principal Debt (other than for payments under LCs) may
never exceed $25,000,000,
(D) SECTION 4.3 is entirely amended, as follows:
4.3 Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the
account of Lenders (based on their respective Commitment Percentages) a
commitment fee, payable as it accrues from the date of this agreement
as of the last day of each February, May, August, and November
(commencing February 28, 1998), and on the Termination Date, equal to
the Applicable Percentage (per annum) of the amount by which (a) the
total Commitments exceeds (b) the average-daily Commitment Usage,
determined for the calendar quarter (or portion of a calendar quarter
commencing on the date of this agreement or ending on the Termination
Date) preceding and including the date it is due.
For purposes of this SECTION 4.3, the term, 'APPLICABLE
PERCENTAGE' means, for any day, a commitment fee percentage subject to
adjustment (upwards or downwards, as appropriate), based on the ratio
of the KPP Companies' Funded Debt to EBITDA, as follows:
RATIO OF FUNDED DEBT TO EBITDA PERCENTAGE
Greater than 2.50 to 1.00 0.20%
Less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 0.15%
For purposes of calculating that ratio, EBITDA is calculated
for the KPP Companies' most recently-completed-four-fiscal quarters,
and Funded Debt is determined as of the day the commitment fee is due.
EBITDA is determined from the Current Financials and related Compliance
Certificate then most recently delivered to Agent, effective as of the
date received by Agent. If Borrower fails to timely furnish to Agent
any Financial Statements and related Compliance Certificates required
by this agreement, then the percentage of .20% shall apply and remain
in effect until Borrower furnishes them to Agent.
