11. Other Obligations

Capital Equipment Lease Obligations

From time to time, we enter into capital leases on equipment under various lease schedules, which are subject to a master lease agreement, and are pre-payable at our option. Interest on the leases is based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.95% for a current rate of 2.13% as of June 30, 2015. The gross value of property, plant and equipment under capital leases was $11.4 million as of June 30, 2015 and related primarily to mining equipment. The accumulated depreciation for these items was $2.5 million at June 30, 2015, and changes thereto have been included in the Depreciation and depletion line in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Due to the variable nature of the imputed interest, fair value is equal to carrying value.

Future payments on capital equipment lease obligations are as follows (in thousands):

Accounts Receivable Securitization

On February 11, 2013, we executed an Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility (“A/R Securitization Program”) with a committed capacity of up to $75.0 million, which was due to expire on February 11, 2015. On January 23, 2015, we entered into an agreement extending the term of the A/R Securitization Program until January 23, 2018. All other terms of the program have remained substantially the same. Certain of our subsidiaries are parties to the A/R Securitization Program. In January 2013, we formed Cloud Peak Energy Receivables LLC (the “SPE”), a special purpose, bankruptcy-remote 100% owned subsidiary, to purchase, subject to certain exclusions, in a true sale, trade receivables generated by certain of our subsidiaries without recourse (other than customary indemnification obligations for breaches of specific representations and warranties) and then transfer undivided interests in up to $75.0 million of those accounts receivable to a financial institution for cash borrowings for our ultimate benefit. The total borrowings are limited by eligible accounts receivable, as defined under the terms of the A/R Securitization Program. At June 30, 2015, the A/R Securitization Program would have allowed for $32.1 million of borrowing capacity. There were no borrowings outstanding from the A/R Securitization Program at June 30, 2015. The SPE is consolidated into our financial statements.

Credit Facility

On February 21, 2014, Cloud Peak Energy Resources LLC entered into a five-year Credit Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders, which was amended on September 5, 2014 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides us with a senior secured revolving credit facility with a capacity of up to $500 million that can be used to borrow funds or issue letters of credit. The borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement is reduced by the amount of letters of credit issued, which may be up to $250 million. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we may elect to increase the size of the revolving credit facility and/or request the addition of one or more new tranches of term loans in an amount up to the greater of (i) $200 million or (ii) our EBITDA (which is defined in the Credit Agreement) for the preceding four fiscal quarters. The Credit Agreement provides for the designation of a foreign restricted subsidiary as a borrower, subject to certain conditions and approvals.

The financial covenants under the Credit Agreement require us to maintain (a) a ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the preceding four fiscal quarters to consolidated net cash interest expense equal to or greater than 1.50 to 1 and (b) a ratio of secured funded debt less unrestricted cash and marketable securities (net secured debt) to EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters equal to or less than 4.00 to 1. This credit facility and capital leases are considered secured funded debt under the covenant calculations whereas federal coal lease obligations, accounts receivable securitizations, and senior notes are not considered secured funded debt. The Credit Agreement also contains other non-financial covenants, including covenants related to our ability to incur additional debt or take other corporate actions. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default with customary grace periods and thresholds. Our ability to access the available funds under the credit facility may be prohibited in the event that we do not comply with the covenant requirements or if we default on our obligations under the Credit Agreement.

Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.00% to 2.75%, depending on our net total leverage to EBITDA ratio. We pay the lenders a commitment fee between 0.375% and 0.50% per year, depending on our net total leverage to EBITDA ratio, on the unused amount of the credit facility. Letters of credit issued under the credit facility, unless drawn upon, will incur a per annum fee from the date at which they are issued between 2.00% and 2.75% depending on our net total leverage to EBITDA ratio. Letters of credit that are drawn upon are converted to loans. In addition, in connection with the issuance of a letter of credit, we are required to pay the issuing bank a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum.

As of June 30, 2015, no borrowings or letters of credit were outstanding under the credit facility, and we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. Our aggregate borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement and the A/R Securitization Program was approximately $532.1 million at June 30, 2015.
