The New Term Loans shall be considered a “Term Loan” and the borrowing of such amounts shall be considered a “Term Loan Borrowing” under the Credit Agreement and governed by all of the terms of the Credit Agreement applicable to the “Term Loan Facility”, “Term Loans” and “Loans”. The making of the New Term Loans is a “Credit Event” and therefore subject to all of the terms and conditions with respect to a Credit Event under the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to the submission of a Notice of Term Loan Borrowing pursuant to Paragraph 2.03(c) and compliance with Paragraph 3.02.

The quarterly installments of principal shall be in the amount of ONE MILLION SEVENTY-ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY-NINE AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,071,429.00);

“(iii) If, for Borrower’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, or any fiscal year thereafter, Borrower has Excess Cash Flow based on the annual fiscal year end audited financial statements for such fiscal year, within one hundred and eighty (180) days after such fiscal year end Borrower shall prepay the Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to: (1) fifty percent (50%) of such Excess Cash Flow if the Leverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 4.00 to 1.00; or (2) zero percent (0%) of such Excess Cash Flow if the Leverage Ratio is less than 4.00 to 1.00 (“Excess Cash Flow Recapture”), with all mandatory prepayments made by Borrower pursuant to this clause (iii) applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans payable by Borrower on the then remaining Term Loan Installment Dates in inverse order of maturity. For avoidance of doubt, the Excess Cash Flow and Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining the Excess Cash Flow Recapture shall be based on the full 2015 calendar year.”

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, from May 15, 2015 (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”) through and including May 31, 2015, Borrower may at any time make a single cash distribution (the “Special Distribution”) to its member of up to $19,000,000.00 from cash on hand and $7,900,000.00 from Term Loan proceeds (comprised of the Holdback and the $3,900,000.00 in New Term Loans), for a total Special Distribution of up to $26,900,000.00 in the aggregate; provided that (i) Borrower shall provide the Agent with prompt notice of the date and proposed amount of such Special Distribution, and (ii) the balance of cash held by Borrower in accounts maintained with Agent, unencumbered except with respect to Liens in favor of the Agent, as of three (3) days prior to such Special Distribution shall be in an amount that is at least $3,000,000.00 in excess of the intended Special Distribution.” Borrower has provided to Agent Borrower’s March 31, 2015 balance sheet (“Balance Sheet”) which reflects a tax liability of approximately $9,000,000.00 due to Borrower’s ultimate parent entity, Par Petroleum Corporation (the “Tax Liability”). Borrower agrees that, concurrently with the Special Distribution, the Tax Liability will be satisfied. Borrower represents to Lenders that, as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, and prior to giving effect to the transactions contemplated to occur on the Second Amendment Effective Date (i.e., the advance of Term Loans, the Special Distribution and the satisfaction of the Tax Liability), there has been no material, adverse change to the financial condition of the Borrower as reflected on the Balance Sheet.”
