Credit Facility
 
On
November 2, 2018
the Company (together with its subsidiaries, and collectively the “Borrower”) entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”).  The Credit Facility consists of a
$10.0
million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and up to
$30.0
million revolving line of credit, including
$1.0
million letter of credit availability (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).  To secure the Credit Facility the Company pledged all personal property assets of Borrower, including, but
not
limited to accounts receivable, coal inventory, and certain surface mining equipment. Real property and improvements are excluded from the collateral package and are
not
encumbered in connection with the Credit Facility. The Company used the Credit Facility to repay the existing Equipment Note, Additional Equipment Note and the Ramaco Coal Note, and provide working capital. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of
November 2, 2021.
 
The Revolving Credit Facility interest rate is based on LIBOR +
2.35%
or Base Rate +
1.75
%.  The Term Loan credit interest rate is based on LIBOR +
4.75%
or Base Rate +
3.75%.
  Base Rate is the highest of (i) KeyBank’s prime rate, (ii) Federal Funds Effective Rate +
0.5%,
or (iii) LIBOR +
1%.
  Both loans are initially base rate loans, but
may
be converted to LIBOR rate loans at certain times at the Company’s discretion.
 
The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan is required to be repaid in monthly installments of approximately 
$0.4
million until fully repaid. As of
December 31, 2018,
the outstanding principal balance was
$9.6
million and the carrying amount was
$9.5
million.
 
The Credit Facility contains usual and customary representations and warranties and usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including but
not
limited to, limitations on liens, additional indebtedness, investments, restricted payments, asset sales, mergers, affiliate transactions and other customary limitations, as well as financial covenants. As of
December 31, 2018,
the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility.
 
Notes payable
 
In 
February 2018,
