Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | 29. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On February 26, 2014, we sold our remaining 50% ownership interest in Asphalt JV to Lindsay Goldberg, and Lindsay Goldberg now owns 100% of Asphalt JV. Since we no longer own any part of Asphalt JV, we ceased applying the equity method of accounting. Upon the sale, the NuStar JV Facility was converted from a revolving credit agreement into a term loan (the Term Loan) with a reduced principal, and the Term Loan will continue to step down from $190.0 million over time: first, to $175.0 million on December 31, 2014 and then to $150.0 million on September 30, 2015. While the Term Loan does not provide for any scheduled amortization payments, Asphalt JV is required to use all of its excess cash, as defined in the agreement, to repay the Term Loan. Like the NuStar JV Facility, the Term Loan must be repaid in full on September 28, 2019. NuStar Logistics’ obligation to provide credit support will be reduced in two years. This entire support obligation will terminate no later than September 28, 2019. Also at the time of the sale, the parties agreed to: terminate the service agreements for our terminals in Rosario, NM, Catoosa, OK and Houston, TX, amend the terminal services agreements for the Baltimore, MD and Jacksonville, FL terminals, and transfer the title to both the Wilmington, NC and Dumfries, VA terminals to Asphalt JV.
