Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on our beliefs and those of our general partner, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us. These forward-looking statements are identified as any statement that does not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this quarterly report, words such as “anticipate,” “project,” “expect,” “plan,” “goal,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “believe,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions and statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we and our general partner believe that the expectations on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, neither we nor our general partner can give assurances that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected. Among the key risk factors that may have a direct bearing on our results of operations and financial condition are:

 

·                  the prices and market demand for crude oil and natural gas liquids;

 

·                  energy prices generally;

 

·                  the price of propane compared to the price of alternative and competing fuels;

 

·                  the general level of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids production;

 

·                  the general level of demand for crude oil and natural gas liquids;

 

·                  the availability of supply of crude oil and natural gas liquids;

 

·                  the level of crude oil and natural gas production in producing basins in which we have water treatment facilities;

 

·                  the ability to obtain adequate supplies of propane and distillates for retail sale in the event of an interruption in supply or transportation and the availability of capacity to transport propane to market areas;

 

·                  actions taken by foreign oil and gas producing nations;

 

·                  the political and economic stability of petroleum producing nations;

 

·                  the effect of weather conditions on demand for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids;

 

·                  the effect of natural disasters or other significant weather events;

 

·                  availability of local, intrastate and interstate transportation infrastructure, including with respect to our truck, rail, and barge transportation services;

 

·                  availability and marketing of competitive fuels;

 

·                  the impact of energy conservation efforts;

 

·                  energy efficiencies and technological trends;

 

·                  governmental regulation and taxation;

 

·                  the impact of legislative and regulatory actions on hydraulic fracturing;

 

·                  hazards or operating risks incidental to the transporting and distributing of petroleum products that may not be fully covered by insurance;

 

·                  the maturity of the propane industry and competition from other propane distributors;

·                  loss of key personnel;

 

·                  the ability to renew contracts with key customers;

 

·                  the fees we charge and the margins we realize for our terminal services;

 

·                  the ability to renew leases for general purpose and high pressure rail cars;

 

·                  the ability to renew leases for underground natural gas liquids storage;

 

·                  the non-payment or nonperformance by our customers;

 

·                  the availability and cost of capital and our ability to access certain capital sources;

 

·                  a deterioration of the credit and capital markets;

 

·                  the ability to successfully identify and consummate strategic acquisitions at purchase prices that are accretive to our financial results;

 

·                  the ability to successfully integrate acquired assets and businesses;

 

·                  changes in laws and regulations to which we are subject, including tax, environmental, transportation and employment regulations or new interpretations by regulatory agencies concerning such laws and regulations and the impact of such laws and regulations (now existing or in the future) on our business operations, including our sales of crude oil, condensate, and natural gas liquids, our processing of wastewater, and transportation and hedging activities; and

 

·                  the costs and effects of legal and administrative proceedings.

 

You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. Except as required by state and federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. When considering forward-looking statements, please review the risks described under “Item 1A — Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

Note 1 — Organization and Operations

 

NGL Energy Partners LP (“we”, “our”, or the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed in September 2010. NGL Energy Holdings LLC serves as our general partner. At the time of formation, our operations included a wholesale natural gas liquids business and a retail propane business. We completed an initial public offering in May 2011. Subsequent to our initial public offering, we significantly expanded our operations through a number of business combinations, including the following:

 

·                  During October 2011, we completed a business combination with E. Osterman Propane, Inc., its affiliated companies, and members of the Osterman family, whereby we acquired retail propane operations in the northeastern United States.

 

·                  During November 2011, we completed a business combination with SemStream, L.P. (“SemStream”), whereby we acquired SemStream’s wholesale natural gas liquids supply and marketing operations and its 12 natural gas liquids terminals.

 

·                  During January 2012, we completed a business combination with seven companies associated with Pacer Propane Holding, L.P., whereby we acquired retail propane operations, primarily in the western United States.

 

·                  During February 2012, we completed a business combination with North American Propane, Inc., whereby we acquired retail propane and distillate operations in the northeastern United States.

 

·                  During the year ended March 31, 2012, we completed three additional separate business combination transactions to acquire retail propane operations.

 

·                  On June 19, 2012, we completed a business combination with High Sierra Energy, LP and High Sierra Energy GP, LLC (collectively, “High Sierra”), whereby we acquired all of the ownership interests in High Sierra. High Sierra’s businesses include crude oil gathering, transportation and marketing; water treatment, disposal, and transportation; and natural gas liquids transportation and marketing.

 

·                  On November 1, 2012, we completed a business combination whereby we acquired Pecos Gathering & Marketing, L.L.C. and certain of its affiliated companies (collectively, “Pecos”).

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 include our accounts and those of our controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 is derived from audited financial statements. We have made certain reclassifications to the prior period financial statements to conform with classification methods used in the current fiscal year. These reclassifications had no impact on previously-reported amounts of total assets, liabilities, partners’ equity, or net income.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim consolidated financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, unless otherwise disclosed herein. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual consolidated financial statements. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Due to the seasonal nature of our natural gas liquids operations and other factors, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Our significant accounting policies are consistent with those disclosed in Note 2 of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We record revenues from product sales at the time title to the product transfers to the purchaser, which typically occurs upon receipt of the product by the purchaser. We record terminaling, storage and service revenues at the time the service is performed and we record tank and other rentals over the term of the lease. Revenues for the wastewater disposal business are recognized upon receipt of the wastewater at our disposal facilities.

 

We report taxes collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities, such as sales and use taxes, on a net basis. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are included in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs associated with product sales are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

We enter into certain contracts whereby we agree to purchase product from a counterparty and to sell the same volume of product to the same counterparty at a different location or time. When such agreements are entered into concurrently and are entered into in contemplation of each other, we record the revenues for these transactions net of the cost of sales.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We apply fair value measurements to certain assets and liabilities, principally our commodity derivative instruments and assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based upon assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and risks inherent in valuation techniques and inputs to valuations. This includes not only the credit standing of counterparties and credit enhancements but also the impact of our own nonperformance risk on our liabilities. Fair value measurements assume that the transaction occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability (the market for which the reporting entity would be able to maximize the amount received or minimize the amount paid). We evaluate the need for credit adjustments to our derivative instrument fair values in accordance with the requirements noted above. Such adjustments were not material to the fair values of our derivative instruments.

 

We use the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

 

·                  Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

·                  Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity price swap and option contracts and interest rate protection agreements. The majority of our fair value measurements related to our derivative financial instruments were categorized as Level 2 at September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 (see Note 11). We determine the fair value of all our derivative financial instruments utilizing pricing models for significantly similar instruments. Inputs to the pricing model include publicly available prices and forward curves generated from a compilation of data gathered from third parties.

 

·                  Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. We did not have any fair value measurements categorized as Level 3 at September 30, 2013 or March 31, 2013.

 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement determines the applicable level in the fair value

hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

Business Combination Measurement Period

 

We record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at their acquisition date fair values. Pursuant to GAAP, an entity is allowed a reasonable period of time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. As described in Note 3, certain of our acquisitions during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and during the six months ended September 30, 2013 are still within this measurement period, and as a result, the acquisition date values we have recorded for the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are subject to change.

 

Also as described in Note 3, we made certain adjustments during the six months ended September 30, 2013 to our estimates of the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in certain business combinations that occurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. Due to the immateriality of these adjustments, we did not retroactively adjust the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013 or the consolidated statements of operations for periods during the year ended March 31, 2013 for these measurement period adjustments.

 

Note 3 — Acquisitions

 

Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2014

 

Oilfield Water Lines, LP

 

On August 2, 2013, we completed a business combination with OWL, whereby we acquired water disposal and transportation assets in Texas. We issued 2,463,287 common units, valued at $68.6 million, and paid $167.7 million of cash, net of cash acquired, in exchange for OWL. The acquisition agreements also contemplate a post-closing payment for certain working capital items. The acquisition agreements also include a provision whereby the purchase price may be increased if certain performance targets are achieved. If the acquired assets generate Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the acquisition agreements, in excess of $3.3 million during any one of the six months following the acquisition, the purchase price will be increased by seventy-two times the amount by which this target is exceeded. The maximum potential increase to the purchase price under this provision is $60 million. We incurred and charged to general and administrative expense during the six months ended September 30, 2013 approximately $0.7 million of costs related to the OWL acquisition.

 

We are in the process of identifying and determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in the acquisition of OWL. The estimates of fair value reflected as of September 30, 2013 are subject to change, and such changes could be material. We expect to complete this process prior to finalizing our financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 2014. We have preliminarily estimated the fair value of the assets acquired (and useful lives) and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands):

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for the acquired business over the fair value of the individual assets acquired, net of liabilities. Goodwill primarily represents the value of synergies between the acquired entities and the Partnership, the opportunity to use the acquired businesses as a platform for growth, and the acquired assembled workforce. We estimate that all of the goodwill will be deductible for federal income tax purposes.

 

As described above, the agreements with the former owners of OWL contain a provision whereby the purchase price may be increased if the business meets a specified performance target during the six months subsequent to the acquisition. In order to determine an estimate of the fair value of this contingent consideration at the acquisition date, we identified the variables most likely to impact this performance target. Using historical and projected data, we prepared a Monte-Carlo type simulation and applied an option pricing model. We concluded that the fair value of the contingent consideration approximated zero, and as a result, we did not record a liability at the acquisition date for the contingent consideration. We performed a similar calculation at September 30, 2013, and concluded that the fair value of the contingent consideration continued to approximate zero at September 30, 2013. We will evaluate the fair value of the contingent consideration again at December 31, 2013, and if we conclude that the contingent consideration has a fair value at that date, we will record a liability and a corresponding expense during the three months ending December 31, 2013.

 

The operations of OWL have been included in our consolidated statement of operations since OWL was acquired on August 2, 2013. Our consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2013 include revenues of $7.3 million and operating income of $0.5 million that was generated by the operations of OWL. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated data below is presented for the six months ended September 30, 2013 as if the OWL acquisition had been completed on April 1, 2013 (in thousands, except per unit amounts). The pro forma earnings per unit are based on the common and subordinated units outstanding as of September 30, 2013.

The pro forma consolidated data in the table above was prepared by adding the historical results of operations of OWL to our historical results of operations and making certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments include: (i) replacing the historical depreciation and amortization expense of OWL with pro forma depreciation and amortization expense, calculated using the estimated fair values of long-lived assets recorded in the acquisition accounting; (ii) replacing the historical interest expense of OWL with pro forma interest expense; and (iii) excluding professional fees and other expenses incurred by us that were directly related to the acquisition. In order to calculate pro forma earnings per unit in the table above, we assumed that: (i) the same number of limited partner units outstanding at September 30, 2013 had been outstanding throughout the period shown in the table, and (ii) all of the common units were eligible for distributions related to the period shown in the table. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed on April 1, 2013, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined operations. We have not presented pro forma data for periods during the prior fiscal year, as certain of the assets we acquired in the acquisition of OWL had not yet been developed as of September 30, 2012.

 

Other Water Services Acquisitions

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we completed two separate acquisitions of businesses to expand our water services operations in Texas. On a combined basis, we issued 222,381 common units, valued at $6.8 million, and paid $151.5 million of cash, net of cash acquired, in exchange for the assets and operations of these businesses. The agreements for the

As part of one of these business combinations, we entered into a development agreement with the seller of the business. Under this agreement, we have the option to purchase water treatment facilities that are developed by the other party to the agreement during the five years following the business combination. We recorded an intangible asset of $14.0 million at the acquisition date related to this development agreement.

 

As part of the other business combination, we entered into an option agreement with the seller of the business whereby we have the option to purchase a water treatment facility that is currently under construction. We recorded an intangible asset of $2.5 million at the acquisition date related to this option agreement.

Crude Oil Logistics Acquisitions

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we completed two separate acquisitions of businesses to expand our crude oil logistics business in Texas and Oklahoma. On a combined basis, we issued 175,211 common units, valued at $5.3 million, and paid $67.8 million of cash, net of cash acquired, in exchange for the assets and operations of these businesses. The agreement for the acquisition of one of these businesses contemplates a post-closing payment for certain working capital items. We incurred and charged to general and administrative expense during the six months ended September 30, 2013 approximately $0.2 million of costs related to these acquisitions.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for the acquired business over the fair value of the individual assets acquired, net of liabilities. Goodwill primarily represents the value of synergies between the acquired entities and the Partnership, the opportunity to use the acquired businesses as a platform for growth, and the acquired assembled workforce. We estimate that all of the goodwill will be deductible for federal income tax purposes.

 

Retail Propane Acquisitions

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2013, we completed three acquisitions of retail propane businesses. On a combined basis, we paid $5.9 million of cash to acquire these assets and operations. The agreements for the acquisitions of these businesses contemplate post-closing payments for certain working capital items. We are in the process of identifying and determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in these three business combinations, and as a result the estimates of fair value reflected as of September 30, 2013 are subject to change. We expect to complete this process prior to finalizing our financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.

Pecos Combination

 

On November 1, 2012, we completed a business combination whereby we acquired Pecos. The business of Pecos consists primarily of crude oil marketing and logistics operations in Texas and New Mexico. We paid $132.4 million of cash (net of cash acquired) and assumed certain obligations with a value of $10.2 million under certain equipment financing facilities. Also on November 1, 2012, we entered into a call agreement with the former owners of Pecos pursuant to which the former owners of Pecos agreed to purchase a minimum of $45.0 million or a maximum of $60.0 million of common units from us. On November 12, 2012, the former owners purchased 1,834,414 common units from us for $45.0 million pursuant to this call agreement.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we completed the acquisition accounting for this business combination.

Third Coast Combination

 

On December 31, 2012, we completed a business combination transaction whereby we acquired all of the membership interests in Third Coast for $43.0 million in cash. The business of Third Coast consists primarily of transporting crude oil via barge. Also on December 31, 2012, we entered into a call agreement with the former owners of Third Coast pursuant to which the former owners of Third Coast agreed to purchase a minimum of $8.0 million or a maximum of $10.0 million of common units from us. On January 11, 2013, the former owners of Third Coast purchased 344,680 common units from us for $8.0 million pursuant to this agreement.

 

We are in the process of identifying and determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in the acquisition of Third Coast. The estimates of fair value reflected as of September 30, 2013 are subject to change, and such changes could be material. We expect to complete this process prior to finalizing our financial statements for the three months ending December 31, 2013. We have preliminarily estimated the fair value of the assets acquired (and useful lives) and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands):

Other Crude Oil Logistics and Water Services Business Combinations

 

During the year ended March 31, 2013, we completed four separate acquisitions to expand the assets and operations of our crude oil logistics and water services businesses. On a combined basis, we paid $52.6 million in cash and assumed $1.3 million of long-term debt in the form of non-compete agreements. We also issued 516,978 common units, valued at $12.4 million, as partial consideration for one of these acquisitions.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we completed the acquisition accounting for these business combinations. The following table presents the final calculation of the fair value of the assets acquired (and useful lives) and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of these businesses (in thousands):

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for the acquired business over the fair value of the individual assets acquired, net of liabilities. Goodwill primarily represents the value of synergies between the acquired entities and the Partnership, the opportunity to use the acquired businesses as a platform for growth, and the acquired assembled workforce. We estimate that all of the goodwill will be deductible for federal income tax purposes.

 

We estimated the fair value of the customer relationship intangible assets using the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.

Credit Agreement

 

On June 19, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The Credit Agreement includes a revolving credit facility to fund working capital needs (the “Working Capital Facility”) and a revolving credit facility to fund acquisitions and expansion projects (the “Expansion Capital Facility,” and together with the Working Capital Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

 

The Working Capital Facility had a total capacity of $325.0 million for cash borrowings and letters of credit at September 30, 2013. At September 30, 2013, we had outstanding cash borrowings of $229.5 million and outstanding letters of credit of $85.9 million on the Working Capital Facility, leaving a remaining capacity of $9.6 million at September 30, 2013. The Expansion Capital Facility had a total capacity of $725.0 million for cash borrowings at September 30, 2013. At September 30, 2013, we had outstanding cash borrowings of $416.5 million on the Expansion Capital Facility, leaving a remaining capacity of $308.5 million at September 30, 2013. The capacity available under the Working Capital Facility may be limited by a “borrowing base,” as defined in the Credit Agreement, which is calculated based on the value of certain working capital items at any point in time. At September 30, 2013, the borrowing base provisions of the Credit Agreement did not have any impact on the capacity available under the Working Capital Facility.

 

The commitments under the Credit Agreement expire on June 19, 2017. We have the right to pre-pay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement without incurring any penalties, and pre-payments of principal may be required if we enter into certain transactions to sell assets or obtain new borrowings.

As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, and for the

Three Months and Six Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

 

All borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at (i) an alternate base rate plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.75% per annum or (ii) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.75% to 3.75% per annum. The applicable margin is determined based on our consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2013, the interest rate in effect on outstanding LIBOR borrowings was 3.19%, calculated as the LIBOR rate of 0.19% plus a margin of 3.0%. At September 30, 2013, the interest rate in effect on outstanding base rate borrowings was 5.25%, calculated as the base rate of 3.25% plus a margin of 2.0%. Commitment fees are charged at a rate ranging from 0.38% to 0.50% on any unused credit. At September 30, 2013, our outstanding borrowings and interest rates under our Revolving Credit Facility were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets. The Credit Agreement specifies that our “leverage ratio,” as defined in the Credit Agreement, cannot exceed 4.25 to 1.0 at any quarter end. At September 30, 2013, our leverage ratio was less than 2.5 to 1. The Credit Agreement also specifies that our “interest coverage ratio,” as defined in the Credit Agreement, cannot be less than 2.75 to 1 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. At September 30, 2013, our interest coverage ratio was greater than 7.5 to 1.

 

The Credit Agreement contains various customary representations, warranties, and additional covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on fundamental changes and limitations on indebtedness and liens. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated following certain events of default (subject to applicable cure periods), including, without limitation, (i) the failure to pay principal or interest when due, (ii) a breach by the Partnership or its subsidiaries of any material representation or warranty or any covenant made in the Credit Agreement, or (iii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.

 

At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

 

As described in Note 14, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement during November 2013. This amendment increased the capacity on the Expansion Capital and Working Capital facilities, extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement, and reduced the interest rate on LIBOR rate borrowings.

 

Senior Notes

 

On June 19, 2012, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) whereby we issued $250 million of Senior Notes in a private placement (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million and bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.65%. Interest is payable quarterly. The Senior Notes are required to be repaid in semi-annual installments of $25.0 million beginning on December 19, 2017 and ending on the maturity date of June 19, 2022. We have the option to pre-pay outstanding principal, although we would incur a pre-payment penalty. The Senior Notes are secured by substantially all of our assets and rank equal in priority with borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

 

The Note Purchase Agreement contains various customary representations, warranties, and additional covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to (subject to certain exceptions): (i) incur additional debt, (ii) pay dividends and make other restricted payments, (iii) create or permit certain liens, (iv) create or permit restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us, (v) enter into transactions with affiliates, (vi) enter into sale and leaseback transactions and (vii) consolidate or merge or sell all or substantially all or any portion of our assets. In addition, the Note Purchase Agreement contains the same leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio requirements as our Credit Agreement, which are described above.

 

The Note Purchase Agreement provides for customary events of default that include, among other things (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods): (i) non-payment of principal or interest, (ii) breach of certain covenants contained in the Note Purchase Agreement or the Senior Notes, (iii) failure to pay certain other indebtedness or the acceleration of certain other indebtedness prior to maturity if the total amount of such indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $10 million, (iv) the rendering of a judgment for the payment of money in excess of $10 million, (v) the failure of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Senior Notes, or the guarantees by the subsidiary guarantors to be in full force and effect in all material respects and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs (subject to certain exceptions), the trustee or the holders of at least 51% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Notes of any series may declare all of the Senior Notes of such series to be due and payable immediately.

 

At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Senior Notes.
