Revolving Credit Facilities
REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES:
CNX Resources Corporation (CNX)
On March 8, 2018, CNX amended and restated its senior secured revolving credit facility, which expires on March 8, 2023.
The CNX credit facility increased lenders' commitments from $1,500,000 to $2,100,000 with an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the commitments to $3,000,000. The initial borrowing base increased from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000, and the letters of credit aggregate sub-limit remained unchanged at $650,000. Effective August 20,2018, as part of the semi-annual redetermination, the borrowing base was reduced to $2,100,000 primarily based on the sale of substantially all of CNX's Ohio Utica Joint Venture Assets and shallow oil and gas assets (See Note 6 - Acquisitions and Dispositions for additional information). The credit facility matures on March 8, 2023, provided that if the aggregate principal amount of our existing 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022 and certain other publicly traded debt securities outstanding 91 days prior to the earliest maturity of such debt (such date, the "Springing Maturity Date") is greater than $500,000, then the credit facility will mature on the Springing Maturity Date.

The CNX credit facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of CNX and certain of its subsidiaries. Fees and interest rate spreads are based on the percentage of facility utilization, measured quarterly. Availability under the facility is limited to a borrowing base, which is determined by the lenders' syndication agent and approved by the required number of lenders in good faith by calculating a value of CNX's proved natural gas reserves.
The CNX credit facility contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants that include, among others, covenants that, except in certain circumstances, limit the Company and the subsidiary guarantors' ability to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist indebtedness, create or permit to exist liens on properties, dispose of assets, make investments, purchase or redeem CNX common stock, pay dividends, merge with another corporation and amend the senior unsecured notes. The Company must also mortgage 80% of the value of its proved reserves and 80% of the value of its proved developed producing reserves, in each case, which are included in the borrowing base, maintain applicable deposit, securities and commodities accounts with the lenders or affiliates thereof, and enter into control agreements with respect to such applicable accounts.

The CNX credit facility also requires that CNX maintain a maximum net leverage ratio of no greater than 4.00 to 1.00, which is calculated as the ratio of debt less cash on hand to consolidated EBITDA, measured quarterly. CNX must also maintain a minimum current ratio of no less than 1.00 to 1.00, which is calculated as the ratio of current assets, plus revolver availability, to current liabilities, excluding borrowings under the revolver, measured quarterly. The calculation of all of the ratios exclude CNXM. CNX was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2018.

At September 30, 2018, the CNX credit facility had $439,000 of borrowings outstanding and $251,342 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $1,409,658 of unused capacity. At December 31, 2017, the facility had no borrowings outstanding and $239,072 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $1,260,928 of unused capacity.

CNX Midstream Partners LP (CNXM)
On March 8, 2018, CNXM entered into a new $600,000 senior secured revolving credit facility that matures on March 8, 2023. The CNXM credit facility replaced its prior $250,000 senior secured revolving credit facility.
The CNXM credit facility includes restrictions on the ability of CNXM, its subsidiary guarantors and certain of its non-guarantor, non-wholly-owned subsidiaries, except in certain circumstances, to: (i) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist indebtedness; (ii) create or permit to exist liens on their properties; (iii) prepay certain indebtedness unless there is no default or event of default under the facility; (iv) make or pay any dividends or distributions in excess of certain amounts; (v) merge with or into another person, liquidate or dissolve; or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any going concern or going line of business or acquire all or a substantial portion of another person’s assets; (vi) make particular investments and loans; (vii) sell, transfer, convey, assign or dispose of its assets or properties other than in the ordinary course of business and other select instances; (viii) deal with any affiliate except in the ordinary course of business on terms no less favorable to CNXM than it would otherwise receive in an arm’s length transaction; (ix) amend in any material manner its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or other organizational documents without giving prior notice to the lenders and, in some cases, obtaining the consent of the lenders.

In addition, CNXM is obligated to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter (x) a maximum total leverage ratio of no greater than between 4.75 to 1.00 ranging to no greater than 5.50 to 1.00 in certain circumstances; (y) a maximum secured leverage ratio of no greater than 3.50 to 1.00 and (z) a minimum interest coverage ratio of no less than 2.50 to 1.00. CNXM was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2018.

The CNXM credit facility also contains customary events of default, including, but not limited to, a cross-default to certain other debt, breaches of representations and warranties, change of control events and breaches of covenants. The obligations under the facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of CNXM and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. CNX is not a guarantor under the facility.

At September 30, 2018, the CNXM credit facility had $44,000 of borrowings outstanding.
