The Credit Agreement matures on December 8, 2026, except that if any portion of the Senior Notes 2026 are outstanding on December 31, 2025, the Credit Agreement will mature on December 31, 2025.
The Credit Agreement has an aggregate commitment of $1.6 billion (subject to availability under our borrowing base). The Partnership’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the guarantors party to the Credit Agreement, which currently consists of all of the Partnership’s subsidiaries. In addition, under the Credit Agreement the Partnership’s Secured Obligations (as defined therein) are secured by: (i) substantially all of the Partnership’s assets and substantially all of the assets of the guarantors party to the Credit Agreement, excluding real property and other customary exclusions; and (ii) all of the equity interests of the Partnership’s U.S. restricted subsidiaries (subject to customary exceptions).
As of March 31, 2023, we had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement of $709.1 million, $890.9 million of availability and, subject to compliance with the applicable financial covenants, available borrowing capacity of $374.5 million. Our weighted-average interest rate in effect for all borrowings under the Credit Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was 7.15%, and our weighted-average interest rate under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2023, was 7.38%. There were no letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2023. We pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.375% on the unused portion of the aggregate commitment.
The Credit Agreement permits us to make distributions of available cash to unitholders so long as (i) no default under the facility has occurred, is continuing, or would result from the distribution; (ii) immediately prior to and after giving effect to such distribution, we are in compliance with the facility’s financial covenants; and (iii) immediately prior to and after giving
effect to such distribution, (a) on or before September 30, 2023, we have availability under the Credit Agreement of at least $250 million and (b) after September 30, 2023, we have availability under the Credit Agreement of at least $100 million.
The Credit Agreement also contains various financial covenants, including covenants requiring us to maintain:
a minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) interest coverage ratio of 2.5 to 1.0, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, with EBITDA and interest expense annualized for the most-recent fiscal quarter;
a ratio of total secured indebtedness to EBITDA not greater than 3.0 to 1.0 or less than 0.0 to 1.0, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, with EBITDA annualized for the most-recent fiscal quarter; and
a maximum funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter with EBITDA annualized for the most-recent fiscal quarter, of (i) 5.50 to 1.00 through the third quarter of 2023 and (ii) 5.25 to 1.00 thereafter. In addition, the Partnership may increase the applicable ratio by 0.25 for any fiscal quarter during which a Specified Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs and for the following two fiscal quarters, but in no event shall the maximum ratio exceed 5.50 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter as a result of such increase.
As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement is a “revolving credit facility” that includes a lockbox arrangement, whereby remittances from customers are forwarded to a bank account controlled by the administrative agent and are applied to reduce borrowings under the facility.
