Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

The information provided in Item 2.03 below is incorporated herein by reference, as applicable.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On August 4, 2022, OPAL Fuels Intermediate Holdco 2 LLC ("OPAL Intermediate Holdco 2"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OPAL Fuels Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") with OPAL Intermediate Holdco 2 as the Borrower, direct and indirect subsidiary of the Borrower as Guarantors, the lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"), Bank of Montreal as the administration agent, and Wilmington Trust as collateral and depositary agent. The Credit Agreement provides for an approximately two year delayed term loan facility (the "DDTL Facility") of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million and Debt Service Reserve facility (the "DSR Facility") of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million. The proceeds of the DDTL Facility are to be used to fund a portion of the construction of the RNG projects owned, either in full or through a joint venture with a third party, by the subsidiary Guarantors and the proceeds of DSR Facility are to be used solely to satisfy the balance to be maintained in the debt service reserve account. The Company has the ability, during the DDTL Facility availability period and subject to the satisfaction of certain credit and project related conditions precedents and the $100.0 million maximum aggregate facility cap, also to join other newly acquired wholly owned subsidiaries with comparable RNG landfill projects in development under the Credit Agreement for comparable funding.

The outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the benchmark rate of adjusted Term SOFR plus (i) for the period from closing to the earlier of the date of conversion of the construction loan to a term loan (the "Conversion Date") or September 30, 2024, a spread of 3.5%, and (ii) thereafter a spread of 3.75%. Accrued interest on amounts outstanding under the DDTL Facility must be paid on the last day of each applicable interest period. The outstanding principal amount of the DDTL Facility is subject to quarterly amortization payments commencing September 30, 2024 equal to 2.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding term loan balance as of the Conversion Date, subject to adjustment based on certain mandatory prepayments, with the balance due at maturity. The DSR Facility is due at maturity. The Credit Agreement matures on August 4, 2027.

The Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of their personal property assets and by a non-recourse pledge of the membership interests of the Borrower

The Credit Agreement requires the Borrower to maintain a consolidated debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.2:1.0, as tested on a trailing four fiscal basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing as of the Conversion Date.
Finally, the Credit Agreement includes certain customary and project related affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on distributions, and events of default, including payment defaults,; breaches of covenants; changes of control; materially incorrect or misleading representations or warranties; bankruptcy or other events of insolvency;and certain project related defaults.

This summary of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.
