SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Second Amendment”) is made and entered into as of August 24, 2007, by and among BUCKEYE PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the Lenders (as defined below) party hereto, and SUNTRUST BANK, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the several banks and other financial institutions party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 13, 2006 (as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement as amended hereby), pursuant to which the Lenders have made certain financial accommodations available to the Borrower; and
WHEREAS, Buckeye Gas Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower (“BGS”), and certain other parties entered into a Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, BGS agreed to purchase the membership interests of Lodi Gas Storage, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Lodi”); and
WHEREAS, the closing under the Purchase Agreement (the “Lodi Closing”) is subject to, among other things, the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and
WHEREAS, because Lodi and its Subsidiaries have incurred secured indebtedness that will not be paid off at the Lodi Closing, absent an amendment to, or waiver under, the Credit Agreement, the consummation of Lodi Closing would constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders are willing to do so;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of all of which are acknowledged, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:
1. Amendments.
(a) Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new definitions of “BGS,” “Lodi”, “Lodi Closing” and “Second Amendment Closing Date” in the
appropriate alphabetical order and by replacing the definitions of “EBITDA,” “Fee Letters,” “Restricted Subsidiary”, and “Termination Date” in their entirety with the following:
“BGS” shall mean Buckeye Gas Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower.
“EBITDA” shall mean, for any Person for any period commencing before October 1, 2006, the sum of (i) Consolidated Net Income of such Person and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such period plus (ii) the following expenses or charges to the extent deducted from Consolidated Net Income for such period: interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and GP Incentive Compensation Payments plus (iii) with respect to the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, Material Project EBITDA Adjustments, if any, of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries. EBITDA shall mean, for any Person for any period commencing on or after October 1, 2006, the sum of (i) Consolidated Net Income of such Person and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such period plus (ii) the following expenses or charges to the extent deducted from Consolidated Net Income for such period: interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization plus (iii) with respect to the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, Material Project EBITDA Adjustments, if any, of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries. With respect to the Borrower, if during any period the Borrower or any Subsidiary acquires any Person and such acquired Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, or the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary acquires all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, the EBITDA attributable to such Person or assets for such period determined on a pro forma basis (as reasonably diligenced by the Borrower) may be included in EBITDA for the calculation of the Funded Debt Ratio. From and after the Lodi Closing, EBITDA shall include, as a positive amount, the amount, if any, by which the accounting expense associated with any ground lease obligations of Lodi and its Subsidiaries exceeds the cash expenditures payable with respect to such lease obligations.
“Fee Letters” shall mean (i) that certain letter agreement among SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc., SunTrust and the Borrower, dated August 1, 2007 and (ii) that certain letter agreement among Wachovia Capital Markets, Inc., Wachovia Bank, National Association and the Borrower, dated July , 2007, in each case as the same may be amended or replaced from time to time, concerning certain fees in connection with this Agreement and any agreements or instruments executed in connection herewith.
“Lodi Closing” shall mean the consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain Purchase Agreement dated as of July 24, 2007, among BGS and certain other parties, pursuant to which, among other things, BGS agreed to purchase all of the membership interests in Lodi.
“Lodi” shall mean Lodi Gas Storage, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company.
“Restricted Subsidiary” shall mean those Persons listed on Exhibit D-1 and any Subsidiary of the Borrower or of any Restricted Subsidiary that has not been designated by the Borrower, within 30 days after its creation or acquisition, as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Borrower may thereafter redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, and it will thereafter be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that such Restricted Subsidiary may not thereafter be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, and provided, further, that no Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary at any time other than within 30 days after its creation or acquisition. Each Restricted Subsidiary (other than Laurel Pipe Line Company, L.P., WesPac Pipelines-Reno, LLC and BGS) in existence prior to the Second Amendment Closing Date shall have executed a Guaranty. To qualify as a Restricted Subsidiary, each other Unrestricted Subsidiary designated by the Borrower as a Restricted Subsidiary shall be in a line of business as is permitted for the Borrower under the Borrower Partnership Agreement, and at the time such Subsidiary is designated as a Restricted Subsidiary no Default shall exist or result from such designation.
“Second Amendment Closing Date” shall mean August 24, 2007.
“Termination Date” shall mean shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Second Amendment Closing Date, or, if the Borrower has requested an extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.11, the first anniversary of the then applicable Extension Effective Date, and (ii) the date that the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or 10.02; provided, however, that the Termination Date of any Lender that is a Declining Lender with respect to any requested extension pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be the earlier of (x) the Termination Date in effect immediately prior to such extension and (y) the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or 10.02.
(b) Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Subsection (c)(i) with the following Subsection (c)(i):
(i) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing both on the date of such request and on the effective date of such increase, from time to time after the Closing Date, Borrower may, upon at least 30 days’ written notice to the Agent, who shall promptly notify the Lenders, propose to increase the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment by an amount not to exceed $200,000,000 less the principal amounts of any commitments provided on the Closing Date in excess of $600,000,000 (the amount of any such increase, the “Additional Revolving Credit Commitment Amount”). Each Lender shall have the right for a period of 15 days following receipt of such notice, to elect by written notice to the Borrower and the Agent to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment by a principal amount equal to or less than its Percentage Share of the Additional Revolving Credit Commitment Amount. No Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any decision by a
Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender.
(c) Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the first sentence of such section in its entirety with the following sentence:
From time to time, but at least 45 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect, the Borrower may (but in no event more than once per calendar year or twice in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement), by written notice to the Agent, request that the scheduled Termination Date then in effect be extended for a twelve-month period, effective as of a date selected by the Borrower (the “Extension Effective Date”); the Extension Effective Date shall be at least 45 days, but not more than 60 days, after the date such extension request is received by the Agent (the “Extension Request Date”).
(d) Sections 8.04, 8.10 and 9.19 of the Credit Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety.
(e) Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended deleting the word “and” from the end of Subsection (g), by replacing Subsection (h) with the following Subsection (h) and by adding the following Subsection (i) to such Section:
(h) Other unsecured Debt of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries so long as at the time such Debt is incurred, and after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence and applications of the proceeds thereof, the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants contained in Section 9.12 and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and provided that no Restricted Subsidiary which is not also a Guarantor shall incur third-party debt in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate; and
(i) From and after the Lodi Closing, Debt of Lodi and its Subsidiaries (the “Lodi Debt”); provided that such Debt will be repaid within 15 Business Days of the Lodi Closing.
(f) Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended deleting the word “and” from the end of Subsection (c), by removing the period and inserting the word “and” at the end of Subsection (d) and by adding the following Subsection (e) to such Section:
(e) Liens securing the Lodi Debt; provided that such Liens are terminated within 15 Business Days of the Lodi Closing.
(g) Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing such section in its entirety with the following:

The Borrower will not permit the Funded Debt Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter to be greater than 5.00 to 1.00 (the “Required Threshold”),
provided, however, that for a period of up to three consecutive quarters within any twelve-month period, the Funded Debt Ratio may exceed the Required Threshold for such period (an “Increased Funded Debt Ratio Period”) as a result of any acquisitions consummated by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary during such Increased Funded Debt Ratio Period with an aggregate purchase price in excess of $25,000,000, but shall in no event exceed 5.50 to 1.00 during such Increased Funded Debt Ratio Period; provided, further, that no Increased Funded Debt Ratio Period shall occur sooner than two consecutive quarters after the end of any other Increased Funded Debt Ratio Period.
(h) Annex I of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing such Annex in its entirety with the Annex I attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(i) Exhibit D-1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing such Exhibit in its entirety with the Exhibit D-1 attached hereto as Exhibit B.
(j) Schedule 9.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing such Schedule in its entirety with the Schedule 9.03 attached hereto as Exhibit C.
2. Release from Guaranty. Laurel Pipe Line Company, L.P. is hereby released from all Obligations, whether past, present or future, including its Contribution Obligation (as such term is defined in the Guaranty) under that certain Guaranty dated on or about January 30, 2007 (the “Laurel Guaranty”) by certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower in favor of the Administrative Agent for the Lenders.

3. Conditions to Effectiveness of this Second Amendment.
