Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 14, 2008, Holly Corporation (the “Borrower”) entered into an Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and
L/C issuer, PNC Bank, National Association and Guaranty Bank, as co-documentation agents, Union
Bank of California, N.A. and Compass Bank, as co-syndication agents, and certain other lenders from
time to time party thereto. The Credit Agreement amends and restates the existing senior secured
credit agreement of the Borrower in its entirety.
The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility that
may be used for revolving credit loans and letters of credit from time to time in an initial
maximum principal amount not to exceed $175 million. The Credit Agreement is available to fund
capital expenditures, acquisitions and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Borrower has the right to request an increase in the maximum amount of the Credit
Agreement of $125 million, which would bring the maximum amount of the Credit Agreement to a total
of $300 million. The request will become effective if (a) certain customary conditions specified in
the Credit Agreement are met and (b) one or more existing lenders under the Credit Agreement or
other financial institutions approved by the administrative agent commit to lend the increased
amounts under the Credit Agreement.
The Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by the inventory and
accounts receivable of the Borrower and its wholly-owned subsidiaries designated as Restricted
Subsidiaries in the Credit Agreement. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is recourse to the
Borrower and guaranteed by the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Borrower designated as Restricted
Subsidiaries in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrower may prepay all loans at any time without penalty, except for payment of certain
breakage and related costs.
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement bears interest, at the Borrower’s option, at either
(a) the reference rate as announced by the administrative agent plus an applicable margin (ranging
from 0.25% to 1.00%) or (b) at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate plus an applicable
margin (ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%). In each case, the applicable margin is based upon the ratio
(the “Leverage Ratio”) of our consolidated indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined in the Credit
Agreement) for a given period. The Borrower incurs a commitment fee on the unused portion of the
Credit Agreement at a rate ranging from 0.30% to 0.50% based upon the Leverage Ratio for the four
most recently completed fiscal quarters. At March 31, 2008, we are subject to the 0.30% rate on the
$175,000,000 of the unused commitment on the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures on
March 14, 2013. At that time, the Credit Agreement will terminate and all outstanding amounts
thereunder will be due and payable.
The Credit Agreement imposes certain requirements, including: limitations on investments
(including distributions to Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement));
limitations on our ability to incur debt, make loans, acquire other companies, change the nature of
our business, enter a merger or consolidation, or sell assets; and covenants that require
maintenance of a specified Leverage Ratio and a specified EBITDA to interest expense ratio.
Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an event of default, including but not
limited to nonpayment of principal when due, failure to perform or observe certain terms, covenants
or agreements under the Credit Agreement, and certain defaults of other indebtedness, the
administrative
agent may terminate the obligation of the lenders under the Credit Agreement to make advances
and issue letters of credit and declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement
immediately due and payable. In addition, in the event of insolvency (as defined in the Credit
Agreement), the obligation of each lender to make advances and issue letters of credit shall
automatically terminate and any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement shall
immediately become due and payable.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement
of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the transactions contemplated
by the Credit Agreement. The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1
and is incorporated herein by reference.
