Revolving Credit Facility The Credit Agreement has an aggregate commitment of $1.6 billion (subject to availability under our borrowing base), with a further potential increase of up to $200 million. The Partnership's obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the guarantors party to the Credit Agreement, which currently consists of all of the Partnership's subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement matures on December 8, 2026, except that if any portion of the Senior Notes 2026 are outstanding on December 31, 2025, the Credit Agreement will mature on December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2022, we had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement of $565.5 million, $1.0 billion of borrowing base availability and, subject to compliance with the applicable financial covenants, available borrowing capacity of $224.4 million. Our weighted-average interest rate in effect for all borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2022 was 3.17%, with a weighted-average interest rate of 2.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. There were no letters of credit issued as of March 31, 2022. We pay a commitment fee of 0.375% on the unused portion of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement permits us to make distributions of available cash to unitholders so long as (i) no default under the facility has occurred, is continuing or would result from the distribution, (ii) immediately prior to and after giving effect to such distribution, we are in compliance with the facility’s financial covenants, and (iii) immediately prior to and after giving effect to such distribution, (a) on or before September 30, 2023, we have availability under the Credit Agreement of at least $250 million and (b) after September 30, 2023, we have availability under the Credit Agreement of at least $100 million. The Credit Agreement also contains various financial covenants, including covenants requiring us to maintain: •a minimum EBITDA to interest coverage ratio of 2.5 to 1.0, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, with EBITDA and interest expense annualized for the fiscal quarter most recently ended; •a ratio of total secured indebtedness to EBITDA not greater than 3.0 to 1.0 or less than 0.0 to 1.0, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, with EBITDA annualized for the fiscal quarter most recently ended; and •a maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter with EBITDA annualized for the fiscal quarter most recently ended, (i) 5.75 to 1.00 through the second fiscal quarter of 2022, (ii) 5.50 to 1.00 from the third quarter of 2022 through the third quarter of 2023 and (iii) 5.25 to 1.00 thereafter. In addition, the Partnership may increase the applicable ratio by 0.25 for any fiscal quarter during which a Specified Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs and the following two fiscal quarters, but in no event shall the maximum ratio exceed 5.50 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter as a result of such increase. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is a “revolving credit facility” that includes a lock box arrangement, whereby remittances from customers are forwarded to a bank account controlled by the administrative agent and are applied to reduce borrowings under the facility.
