Debt Instrument, Covenant Description |  |  |  |  |  |  | Among other things, these covenants include maintaining a ratio of indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA, as defined in our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement, adjusted for all noncash charges and increased for projected EBITDA from certain lender-approved capital expansion projects). In June 2020, we amended our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement by, among other things, modifying the leverage ratio so that we may net up to $700 million of cash on hand against our consolidated indebtedness for purposes of calculating the ratio’s numerator for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2020. In October 2020, we acquired additional interest in one of our equity investments and a related asset for $27 million, which allowed us to elect an acquisition adjustment period under our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement and, as a result, increased our leverage ratio covenant to 5.5 to 1 for the fourth quarter 2020 and the two following quarters. Thereafter, the covenant will decrease to 5.0 to 1. Our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement includes a $100 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $200 million sublimit for swingline loans. Under the terms of our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement, we may request an increase in the size of the facility to an aggregate of $3.5 billion by either commitments from new lenders or increased commitments from existing lenders. Our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement contains provisions for an applicable margin rate and an annual facility fee, both of which adjust with changes in our credit ratings. Based on our current credit ratings, borrowings, if any, will accrue at LIBOR, or alternate benchmark rate, plus 110 basis points, and the annual facility fee is 15 basis points. At December 31, 2020, our ratio of indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA was 4.6 to 1, and we were in compliance with all covenants under our $2.5 Billion Credit Agreement. |  |

Debt Instrument, Covenant Description |  |  |  |  |  |  | Our senior notes are governed by indentures containing covenants, including among other provisions, limitations on our ability to place liens on our property or assets and to sell and leaseback our property. The indentures governing our 6.875% senior notes due 2028 include an event of default upon acceleration of other indebtedness of $15 million or more, and the indentures governing the remainder of our senior notes include an event of default upon the acceleration of other indebtedness of $100 million or more. Such events of default would entitle the trustee or the holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding senior notes to declare those senior notes immediately due and payable in full. The indenture for the 7.5% notes due 2023 also contains a provision that allows the holders of the notes to require ONEOK to offer to repurchase all or any part of their notes if a change of control and a credit rating downgrade occur at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. |  |
Debt instrument call feature |  |  |  |  |  |  | We may redeem our senior notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to their maturity at a redemption price equal to the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium.
