2017 Credit Facility - BCP 1

On June 22, 2017, BCP Raptor, LLC (“BCP I”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BCP and the parent of EagleClaw Midstream Ventures, LLC (“EagleClaw”), entered into a credit agreement with its lenders and with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, for a term loan in and initial aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion with a tenor of seven years, maturing on June 22, 2024. Fixed principal payments equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount are required to be paid quarterly. Interest is paid on the term loan periodically at a rate equal to 4.25% plus LIBOR subject to a floor of 1.0%. The Company paid scheduled principal payments on this term loan of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. BCP I repurchased $2.9 million of the outstanding term loan during the first quarter of 2021. No repurchase was made for this term loan during the first quarter of 2022.

In addition, contemporaneously with the credit agreement described above, BCP I entered into a super-priority revolving credit agreement with its lenders and with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, in an initial aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million with a tenor of five years, maturing on June 22, 2022. On January 16, 2020, BCP I entered into an amendment to the revolving credit agreement that increased the revolving commitment in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, thereby increasing the aggregate revolving credit commitments of all lenders to $125 million. On January 4, 2021, BCP I entered into an amendment to extend the maturity date from June 22, 2022 to November 3, 2023.

Interest is paid on the revolver periodically at a rate equal to LIBOR (0% floor) plus 4.00%, which decreases to LIBOR (0% floor) plus 3.75% when BCP I’s consolidated net leverage ratio is no greater than 4.50 to 1.00. BCP I must pay commitment fees quarterly in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum, which decreases to 0.375% per annum when BCP I’s consolidated net leverage is no greater than 4.50 to 1.00, in each case on the unused portion of the commitment. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $59.0 million and $52.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, respectively.

2018 Credit Facilities - BCP II and Partnership

In November 2018, the Partnership entered into a revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes that matures in November 2023 (subject to two, one year extension options) (“Corporate Facility”). The agreement for this revolving credit facility provides aggregate commitments from a syndicate of banks of $800.0 million. The aggregate commitments include a letter of credit subfacility of up to $100.0 million and a swingline loan subfacility of up to $100.0 million. The Partnership may increase commitments up to an aggregate $1.5 billion by adding new lenders or obtaining the consent of any increasing existing lenders. As of March 31, 2022, there were $657.0 million of borrowings and $2.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under this facility.

At the Partnership’s option, the interest rate per annum for borrowings under this facility is either a base rate, as defined, plus a margin, or LIBOR, plus a margin. The Partnership also pays quarterly a facility fee at a rate per annum on total commitments. At March 31, 2022, the base rate margin was 0.05%, the LIBOR margin was 1.05%, and the facility fee was 0.20%. In addition, a commission is payable quarterly to the lenders on the face amount of each outstanding letter of credit at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR margin then in effect.

Contemporaneous with the close of the CR Permian acquisition on November 1, 2018, BCP Raptor II, LLC (“BCP II”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BCP and the parent of CR Permian, entered into a credit agreement with its lenders and with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, for a term loan in an initial aggregate principal amount of $690.0 million with a tenor of seven years, maturing on November 3, 2025.

Any unpaid interest and principal are due at maturity. BCP II also pays quarterly commitment fees of 0.50% on the unused portion of the commitment.
