UNITED REFINING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. |
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Refining Company and its subsidiaries, United Refining Company of Pennsylvania and its subsidiaries, United Biofuels, Inc. and Kiantone Pipeline Corporation (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company is a petroleum refiner and marketer in its primary market area of Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. Operations are organized into two business segments: wholesale and retail.
The wholesale segment is responsible for the acquisition of crude oil, petroleum refining, supplying petroleum products to the retail segment and the marketing of petroleum products to wholesale and industrial customers. The retail segment operates a network of Company operated retail units under the Red Apple Food Mart® and Country Fair® brand names selling petroleum products under the Kwik Fill®, Citgo® and Keystone® brand names, as well as convenience and grocery items.
The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Refining, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Acquisition Corp., which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Red Apple Group, Inc. (the Parent).
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012.
2. |
Derivative Financial Instruments |
From time to time, the Company uses derivatives to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in crude oil purchase costs and refining margins. Derivative products, historically crude oil option contracts (puts) and crackspread option contracts have been used to hedge the volatility of these items. The Company does not enter such contracts for speculative purposes. The Company accounts for changes in the fair value of its contracts by marking them to market and recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its Statement of Operations. The Company includes the carrying amounts of the contracts in derivative asset or derivative liability in its Consolidated Balance Sheet.
At May 31, 2013, the Company had no derivative investments outstanding as part of its risk management strategy.

As of May 31, 2013, $4,248,000 of contributions has been made to the Company pension plans for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2013.
In November 2011, the Company reached an agreement with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 95, which represents the employees operating the refinery. The new agreement was effective February 1, 2012 and expires on February 1, 2017. Under the new collective bargaining agreement (Agreement), changes were made to healthcare and pension benefits provided by the Company. Effective February 1, 2012, medical benefits in retirement for new hires and active employees covered under the Agreement were eliminated. For employees covered under the Agreement meeting certain age and service requirements, the Company will contribute a defined dollar amount towards the cost of retiree healthcare based upon the employees length of service. Similarly, effective February 1, 2012, benefits under the Companys defined benefit pension plan sponsored for employees covered under the agreement were frozen. The Company will provide an enhanced contribution under its defined contribution 401 (k) plan as well as a transition contribution for older employees. Additionally, deductibles and co-payments will be added to the medical benefits for employees covered under the Agreement.
As a result of the agreement and related plan design changes, a remeasurement of fiscal year 2012 expense pursuant to ASC 715-30 and ASC 715-60 was required, resulting in plan curtailments. As a result of such curtailments during the quarter ended November 30, 2011, the pension liability was reduced by $4,743,000 with a credit to accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) of $4,552,000 and a credit to income of $191,000. Further, the postretirement welfare plan liability was reduced by $12,161,000 and AOCL credited for $12,298,000, with a charge to income of $137,000. The activity in AOCL was recorded net of related income tax effects.

Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements may include, among other things, United Refining Company and its subsidiaries current expectations with respect to future operating results, future performance of its refinery and retail operations, capital expenditures and other financial items. Words such as expects, intends, plans, projects, believes, estimates, may, will, should, shall, anticipates, predicts, and similar expressions typically identify such forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
By their nature, all forward looking statements involve risk and uncertainties. All phases of the Companys operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of the Companys control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect the Companys results of operations and whether the forward looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward looking statements for a number of reasons.
Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge, investors and prospective investors are cautioned that such statements are only projections and that actual events or results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors described in greater detail in the Companys filings with the SEC, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K, reports on Form 8-K, etc. In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Companys actual consolidated quarterly or annual operating results have been affected in the past, or could be affected in the future, by additional factors, including, without limitation:
|
the demand for and supply of crude oil and refined products; |
|
the spread between market prices for refined products and market prices for crude oil; |
|
repayment of debt; |
|
general economic, business and market conditions; |
|
risks and uncertainties with respect to the actions of actual or potential competitive suppliers of refined petroleum products in our markets; |
|
the possibility of inefficiencies or shutdowns in refinery operations or pipelines; |
|

We undertake no obligation to update any information contained herein or to publicly release the results of any revisions to any such forward looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that occur, or which we become aware of, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Recent Developments
The Company continues to be impacted by the volatility in petroleum markets in fiscal 2013. The lagged 3-2-1 crackspread is measured by the difference between the prices of crude oil contracts traded on the NYMEX for the preceding month to the prices of NYMEX gasoline and heating oil contracts in the current trading month. The Company uses a lagged crackspread as a margin indicator as it reflects the margin during the time period between the purchase of crude oil and its delivery to the refinery for processing. The lagged crackspread for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $29.28. Through July 5, 2013 the indicated lagged crackspread for the fourth quarter ending August 31, 2013 was $23.55, a $5.73 decrease from the average for the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
The Company and its lenders recently agreed on the terms of an amendment to the existing capital line of credit in the amount of $175,000,000 (including temporary availability up to $225,000,000). Effective June 18, 2013, the annual Commitment Fee is reduced to .25% and the Letter of Credit Fee, Revolving Credit Base Rate Spread and Revolving Credit Spread have been reduced as described in Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Amendment) dated as of June 18, 2013 attached hereto as Exhibit 10.8. The effect of these changes reduces the cost of future borrowing compared with the original terms of the Credit Agreement dated May 18, 2011. In addition, the Amendment extends the term of the Credit Agreement with the lenders to November 29, 2017 from an original expiration date of May 8, 2016. The Amendment also contains additional terms and conditions primarily of a regulatory, administrative and operational nature.
Results of Operations
The Company is a petroleum refiner and marketer in its primary market area of Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. Operations are organized into two business segments: wholesale and retail.
The wholesale segment is responsible for the acquisition of crude oil, petroleum refining, supplying petroleum products to the retail segment and the marketing of petroleum products to wholesale and industrial customers. The retail segment sells petroleum products under the Kwik Fill®, Citgo® and Keystone® brand names through a network of Company-operated retail units and convenience and grocery items through Company-owned gasoline stations and convenience stores under the Red Apple Food Mart® and Country Fair® brand names.
A discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to the Companys results of operations are presented below. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes, together with the following information, are intended to supply investors with a reasonable basis for evaluating the Companys operations, but does not serve to predict the Companys future performance.

Comparison of Fiscal Quarters Ended May 31, 2013 and 2012
Net Sales
Retail sales decreased during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2013 by $20.3 million or 4.4% from the comparable period in fiscal 2012 from $457.0 million to $436.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to $19.7 million in petroleum sales and $.6 million in merchandise sales. The petroleum sales decrease resulted from a 5.7% decrease in retail selling prices per gallon offset by a .7 million gallon or a .7% increase in retail petroleum volume.
Costs of Goods Sold
Retail costs of goods sold decreased during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2013 by $19.1 million or 4.6% from the comparable period in fiscal 2012 from $416.4 million to $397.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to $19.4 million in petroleum purchase prices and merchandise cost of $.5 million, offset by an increase in freight cost of $.2 million and fuel tax of $.5 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Retail Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2013 by $2.6 million or 8.0% from the comparable period in fiscal 2012 from $32.7 million to $35.3 million. This increase was primarily due to maintenance costs of $.3 million, credit/customer service costs of $.1 million, pension/post-retirement costs of $.2 million and a gain on the sale of fixed assets in fiscal 2012 that reduced SG&A during that period.
20
Comparison of Nine Months Ended May 31, 2013 and 2012
Net Sales
Retail sales decreased during the nine months ended May 31, 2013 by $7.9 million or .6% for the comparable period in fiscal 2012 from $1,277.2 million to $1,269.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to $5.3 million in petroleum sales, and $2.6 million in merchandise sales. The petroleum sales decrease resulted from a 5.3 million gallon or 1.8% decrease in sales volume offset by a 1.4% increase in retail selling prices per gallon.
Costs of Goods Sold
Retail costs of goods sold decreased during the nine months ended May 31, 2013 by $6.5 million or .6% for the comparable period in fiscal 2012 from $1,169.3 million to $1,162.8 million. The decrease was primarily due to $3.8 million in petroleum purchase prices, merchandise costs of $2.2 million and freight costs of $1.3 million offset by an increase in fuel taxes of $.7 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Retail SG&A expenses increased during the nine months ended May 31, 2013 by $5.2 million or 5.2% for the comparable period in fiscal 2012 from $98.9 million to $104.1 million. The increase was due to payroll costs of $.7 million, credit/customer service costs of $.6 million, environmental costs of $.6 million, supply costs of $.2 million, maintenance costs of $.7 million, pension/post-retirement costs of $.5 million and a gain on the sale of fixed assets in fiscal 2012 that reduced SG&A during that period.

Comparison of Fiscal Quarters Ended May 31, 2013 and 2012
Net Sales
Wholesale sales decreased during the three months ended May 31, 2013 by $32.0 million or 6.7% from the comparable period in fiscal 2012 from $478.8 million to $446.8 million. The decrease was due to a 6.7% decrease in wholesale prices offset by a 2.7% increase in wholesale volumes.

Wholesale costs of goods sold increased during the three months ended May 31, 2013 by $8.4 million or 2.4% from the comparable period in fiscal 2012 from $346.4 million to $354.8 million. The increase in wholesale costs of goods sold during this period was primarily due to an increase in cost and volume of raw materials.
Losses / (Gains) on Derivative Contracts

The increase was primarily due to payroll costs and professional services.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended May 31, 2013 and 2012
Net Sales
Wholesale sales decreased during the nine months ended May 31, 2013 by $10.1 million or .7% from the comparable period in fiscal 2012 from $1,451.5 million to $1,441.4 million. The decrease was due to a .3% decrease in wholesale prices and volumes.
Costs of Goods Sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
Wholesale costs of goods sold decreased during the nine months ended May 31, 2013 by $112.2 million or 9.3% for the comparable period in fiscal 2012 from $1,208.7 million to $1,096.5 million. The decrease in wholesale costs of goods sold was primarily due to a decrease in the cost of raw materials and volumes.
Losses / (Gains) on Derivative Contracts
For the nine months ended May 31, 2013, the Company recognized $2.3 million and $(37.5) million of losses/(gains) in its Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. See also Footnote 2 to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.

The increase was primarily due to payroll costs and professional services.
Consolidated Expenses:
Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and fiscal 2012 remained relatively consistent at $9.9 million.
Net interest expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 decreased $.3 million or 5% from the comparable period in fiscal 2012 from $29.3 million to $29.0 million.
Income Tax Expense
The Companys effective tax rate for both the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately 39% and 41%, respectively. This change is primarily due to the recognition of permanent book to tax adjustments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We operate in an environment where our liquidity and capital resources are impacted by changes in the price of crude oil and refined petroleum products, availability of credit, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. Included in such factors are, among others, the level of customer product demand, weather conditions, governmental regulations, worldwide political conditions and overall market and economic conditions.

Primary sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing availability under a revolving line of credit. We believe available capital resources are adequate to meet our working capital, debt service, and capital expenditure requirements for existing operations.
Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and investments in money market funds. These investments have staggered maturity dates, none of which exceed three months. They have a high degree of liquidity since the securities are traded in public markets.

We require a substantial investment in working capital which is susceptible to large variations during the year resulting from purchases of inventory and seasonal demands. Inventory purchasing activity is a function of sales activity and turnaround cycles for the different refinery units.
Maintenance and non-discretionary capital expenditures have averaged approximately $6.0 million annually over the last three years for the refining and marketing operations. Management does not foresee any increase in these maintenance and non-discretionary capital expenditures during fiscal year 2013 at this time.
Future liquidity, both short and long-term, will continue to be primarily dependent on realizing a refinery margin sufficient to cover fixed and variable expenses, including planned capital expenditures. We expect to be able to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, contractual obligations, letter of credit and debt service requirements out of cash flow from operations, cash on hand and borrowings under our Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility of $175,000,000. This provides the Company with flexibility relative to its cash flow requirements in light of market fluctuations, particularly involving crude oil prices and seasonal business cycles and will assist the Company in meeting its working capital, ongoing capital expenditure needs and for general corporate purposes. The agreement expires on May 18, 2016. Under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility, the applicable margin is calculated on the average unused availability as follows: (a) for base rate borrowing, at the greater of the Agent Banks prime rate or the Federal Funds Open Rate plus 1.5%; or the Daily LIBOR rate plus 3%; plus an applicable margin of 0% to .5%; (b) for euro-rate based borrowings, at the LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75% to 3.25%. The Agent Banks prime rate at May 31, 2013 was 3.25%.
The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility is secured primarily by certain cash accounts, accounts receivable and inventory. Until maturity, we may borrow on a borrowing base formula as set forth in the facility. We had standby letters of credit of $6.5 million as of May 31, 2013 and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility resulting in net availability of $168.5 million. As of July 15, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility and there were standby letters of credit in the amount of $6.5 million, resulting in a net availability of $168.5 million and the Company had full access to it. The Companys working capital ratio was 4.2 as of May 31, 2013.
The Company and its lenders recently agreed on the terms of an amendment to the existing capital line of credit in the amount of $175,000,000 (including temporary availability up to $225,000,000). Effective June 18, 2013, the annual Commitment Fee is reduced to .25% and the Letter of Credit Fee, Revolving Credit Base Rate Spread and Revolving Credit Spread have been reduced as described in Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Amendment) dated as of June 18, 2013 attached hereto as Exhibit 10.8. The effect of these changes reduces the cost of future borrowing compared with the original terms of the Credit Agreement dated May 18, 2011. In addition, the Amendment extends the term of the Credit Agreement with the lenders to November 29, 2017 from an original expiration date of May 8, 2016. The Amendment also contains additional terms and conditions primarily of a regulatory, administrative and operational nature.
Although we are not aware of any pending circumstances which would change our expectation, changes in the tax laws, the imposition of and changes in federal and state clean air and clean fuel requirements and other changes in environmental laws and regulations may also increase future capital expenditure levels. Future capital expenditures are also subject to business conditions affecting the industry. We continue to investigate strategic acquisitions and capital improvements to our existing facilities.
Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment affect nearly all of our operations. As is the case with all the companies engaged in similar industries, we face significant exposure from actual or potential claims and lawsuits involving environmental matters. Future expenditures related to environmental matters cannot be reasonably quantified in many circumstances due to the uncertainties as to required remediation methods and related clean-up cost estimates. We cannot predict what additional environmental
25
legislation or regulations will be enacted or become effective in the future or how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted with respect to products or activities to which they have not been previously applied.
Seasonal Factors
Seasonal factors affecting the Companys business may cause variation in the prices and margins of some of the Companys products. For example, demand for gasoline tends to be highest in spring and summer months, while demand for home heating oil and kerosene tends to be highest in winter months.
As a result, the margin on gasoline prices versus crude oil costs generally tends to increase in the spring and summer, while margins on home heating oil and kerosene tend to increase in the winter.
Inflation
The effect of inflation on the Company has not been significant during the last five fiscal years.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. |
The Company uses its Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility to finance a portion of its operations. This on-balance sheet financial instrument, to the extent it provides for variable rates, exposes the Company to interest rate risk resulting from changes in the Agent Banks Prime rate, the Federal Funds or LIBOR rate. As of July 15, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility.
From time to time, the Company uses derivatives to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in crude oil purchase costs and refining margins. Derivative products, specifically crude oil option contracts and crack spread option contracts are used to hedge the volatility of these items. The Company accounts for changes in the fair value of its contracts by marking them to market and recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its Statement of Operations.
At the quarter ended May 31, 2013, the Company had no derivative investments outstanding as part of its risk management strategy. See also Footnote 2 to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
Controls and Procedures. |
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2013. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2013, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There have not been any changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.

Amendment of Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement. Section 2.10 [Defaulting Lenders] of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.10 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(b) (i) except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.10, Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Ratable Share, and no Ratable Share of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Credit Loans required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of
principal of any type of Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Credit Loans of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with their Ratable Share; provided, that, Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lenders benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.
(ii) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3 [Commitment Fees];
(iii) if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letter of Credit Obligations (or drawings under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed) exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:
(1) all or any part of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares but only to the extent that (x) the Revolving Facility Usage does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders Revolving Credit Commitments, and (y) no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;
(2) if the reallocation described in clause (1) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such outstanding Swing Loans, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender the Borrowers obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lenders Letter of Credit Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (1) above) in a deposit account held at the Administrative Agent for so long as such Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding;
(3) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lenders Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to clause (2) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] with respect to such Defaulting Lenders Letter of Credit Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lenders Letter of Credit Obligations are cash collateralized;
(4) if the Letter of Credit Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (1) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders Ratable Share; and
(5) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lenders Letter of Credit Obligations are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] with respect to such Defaulting Lenders Letter of Credit Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lender (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lenders then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(iii), and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.10(b)(iii)(1) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
(c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Administrative Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Loan Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Loan Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of Required Lenders, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Loans or a Ratable Share; provided, that this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification described in Sections 11.1.1 [Increase of Commitment] or 11.1.2 [Extension of Payment; Reduction of Principal Interest or Fees; Modification of Terms of Payment] of this Agreement.
(d) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.10, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Administrative Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.
(e) If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue, or (ii) PNC or the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless PNC or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to PNC or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
(f) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, PNC and the Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and the Ratable Share of the Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lenders Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Ratable Share.
Amendment of Section 4.4.2 of the Credit Agreement. Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
4.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if at any time any Lender shall have determined that:
(i) any Applicable Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 4.4.2, the term Lender shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate) to make or maintain its Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate, or
(ii) such LIBOR Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or
(iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market,
then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agents and Lenders Rights].
Amendment of Section 4.4.3 of the Credit Agreement. Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agents and Lenders Rights] of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
4.4.3 Administrative Agents and Lenders Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrowers thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given the obligation of Lenders (or such affected Lender) to make Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Administrative Agent, either pay all such affected Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate or convert such affected Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate into loans of another type. If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] and the Borrowers have previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a LIBOR Rate Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], the Borrowers shall, subject to each Borrowers indemnification Obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrowers of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this section submitted by Lenders to Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Amendment of Section 5.8.1 of Credit Agreement. Section 5.8.1 [Increased Costs] of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
5.8.1 Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law or any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 5.8.1, the term Lender shall include Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, any Issuing Lender or Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, any Lender or Issuing Lender and the office or branch where Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, any Lender or Issuing Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Official Body, shall:
(a) subject Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, any Lender or Issuing Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan subject to the LIBOR Rate, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, such Lender or Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 5.9 [Taxes] and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, such Lender or the Issuing Lender);
(b) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, Issuing Lender or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or
(c) impose on Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, any Lender or Issuing Lender or the London interbank LIBOR market any other condition, loss or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Loan Document or any Loans made by any Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, any Lender or Issuing Lender of making, converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Loans hereunder by an amount that Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or such Lender or Issuing Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Loans by an amount that Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or such Lender or Issuing Lender deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or such Lender or Issuing Lender, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or such Lender or Issuing Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the LIBOR Rate, as the case may be. Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or such Lender or Issuing Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to the Borrowers, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

In the event that Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or any Lender shall have determined that any Applicable Law or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any Change in Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Official Body, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, Issuing Lender or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 5.8.2, the term Lender shall include Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, Issuing Lender or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or any Lender and the office or branch where Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or any Lenders capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder (including the making of any Swing Loans) to a level below that which Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Administrative Agents, PNCs, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, and each Lenders policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or any Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrowers shall pay upon demand to Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 5.8.2 shall be available to Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender and each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the Applicable Law, rule, regulation, guideline or condition.
(b) A certificate of Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or such Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender or such Lender with respect to Section 5.8.2(a) hereof when delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Amendment of Section 5.9 of the Credit Agreement. Section 5.9 [Taxes] of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
5.9 Taxes.
5.9.1 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligations hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, Lender, Issuing Lender or Participant, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law.
5.9.2 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.9.1 above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law.

Each Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, each Lender, and the Issuing Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Administrative Agent, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, such Lender, or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by any Lender, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
5.9.4 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Official Body, the Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
5.9.5 Status of Lenders.

Notwithstanding the submission of such documentation claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under §1.1441-7(b) of the United States Income Tax Regulations or other Applicable Law. Further, Administrative Agent is indemnified under §1.1461-1(e) of the United States Income Tax Regulations against any claims and demands of any Lender, Issuing Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender or Issuing Lender for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under §1441 of the Code. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender (or other Lender) shall deliver to the Borrowers and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender (or other Lender) becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender (or other Lender) is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN,
(iv) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, or
(v) to the extent that any Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall submit to Administrative Agent two (2) originals of an IRS Form W-9 or any other form prescribed by Applicable Law demonstrating that such Lender is not a Foreign Lender.
5.9.6 Delivery of Certificate. If a payment made to a Lender, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, Participant, Issuing Lender, or Administrative Agent under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Person fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender, PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, Participant, Issuing Lender, or Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (in the case of PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, a Lender, Participant or Issuing Lender) and the Borrowers (A) a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller of such Person, and (B) other documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Borrower sufficient for Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that PNC, in its capacity as Swing Loan lender, such Lender, Participant, Issuing Lender, or Administrative Agent has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Derivative Financial Instruments |
From time to time, the Company uses derivatives to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in crude oil purchase costs and refining margins. Derivative products, historically crude oil option contracts (puts) and crackspread option contracts have been used to hedge the volatility of these items. The Company does not enter such contracts for speculative purposes. The Company accounts for changes in the fair value of its contracts by marking them to market and recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its Statement of Operations. The Company includes the carrying amounts of the contracts in derivative asset or derivative liability in its Consolidated Balance Sheet. At May 31, 2013, the Company had no derivative investments outstanding as part of its risk management strategy.
The fair value and balance sheet classification of our derivative instruments at May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 are as follows:
During the three months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $0 and $1,957,000 of losses in its Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. For the nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $2,319,000 and $(37,495,000) of losses/(gains) in its Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. |
