Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, we and certain of our subsidiaries (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”) entered into a Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent (the “Agent”) for the lenders party thereto from time to time, including WB Delta, Ltd., Waterstone Offshore ER Fund, Ltd., Prime Capital Master SPC, GOT WAT MAC Segregated Portfolio, Waterstone Market Neutral MAC51, Ltd., Waterstone Market Neutral Master Fund, Ltd., Waterstone MF Fund, Ltd., Nomura Waterstone Market Neutral Fund, ZCOF Par Petroleum Holdings, L.L.C. and Highbridge International, LLC (collectively, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to extend credit to us in the form of term loans (each, a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) of up to $30.0 million. We borrowed $13.0 million on the Emergence Date in order to, along with the proceeds from the Contribution Agreement, (i) repay the loans and obligations due under the Predecessor’s secured debtor-in-possession credit facility, and (ii) pay allowed but unpaid administrative expenses to the Debtors related to the Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we borrowed an additional $8.0 million for general corporate use. As of March 31, 2013, we have approximately $9.0 million available for future borrowings.

Below are certain of the material terms of the Loan Agreement:

Interest. At our election, any Loans will bear interest at a rate equal to 9.75% per annum payable either (i) in cash, quarterly, in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter or (ii) in-kind, accruing quarterly. In addition, all repayments due under the Loan Agreement will be charged a minimum of a 3% repayment premium. Accordingly, we will accrete amounts due for the minimum repayment premium over the term of loan using the effective interest method.  

At any time after an event of default under the Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) all outstanding obligations will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 11.75% and (ii) all interest accrued and accruing will be payable in cash on demand.

Prepayment. We may prepay Loans at any time, in any amount. Such prepayment is to include all accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of the obligations being prepaid through the prepayment date. If at any time within the twelve months following the Emergence Date, we prepay the obligations due, in whole, but not in part, then in addition to the repayment of 100% of the principal amount of the obligations being prepaid plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, we are required to pay the interest that would have accrued on the prepaid amount through the first anniversary of the Emergence Date plus a 6% prepayment premium.

In addition to the above described prepayment premium, we will pay a repayment premium equal to the percentage of the principal repaid during the following periods:

 

Period

 

Repayment Premium

 

From the Emergence Date through the first anniversary of the Emergence Date....................................................................................

                              6%

From the day after the first anniversary of the Emergence Date through the second anniversary of the Emergence Date...............

                              5%

At all times from and after the day after the second anniversary of the Emergence Date.............................................................................

                              3%

We are also required to make certain mandatory repayments after certain dispositions of property, debt issuances, joint venture distributions from Piceance Energy, casualty events and equity issuances, in each case subject to customary reinvestment provisions. These mandatory repayments are subject to the prepayment premiums described above.

The contingent repayments described above are required to be accounted for as an embedded derivative. The estimated fair of the embedded derivative at issuance was approximately $65,000 and was recorded as a derivative liability with the offset to debt discount. Subsequent changes in fair value are reflected in earnings.

Collateral. The Loans and all obligations arising under the Loan Agreement are secured by (i) a perfected, first-priority security interest in all of our assets other than our equity interest in Piceance Energy held by Par Piceance Energy Equity, LLC, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries “Par Piceance Energy Equity”, pursuant to a pledge and security agreement made by us and certain of our subsidiaries in favor of the Agent, and (ii) a perfected, second-lien security interest in our equity interest in Piceance Energy held by Par Piceance Energy Equity, pursuant to a pledge agreement by Par Piceance Energy Equity in favor of the Agent. The priority of the Lenders’ security interest in our assets is specified in that certain intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the First Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the Agent, as administrative agent for the Second Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the Company and Par Piceance Energy Equity.

Guaranty. All of our obligations under the Loan Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.

Fees and Commissions. We agreed to pay the Agent an annual nonrefundable administrative fee that was earned in full on the Emergence Date. In addition, we agreed to pay the Lenders a nonrefundable closing fee that was earned in full on the Emergence Date.

Warrants. As consideration for granting the Loans, we have also issued warrants to the Lenders to purchase shares of our common stock as described under “– Warrant Issuance Agreement” below.

Term. All loans and all other obligations outstanding under the Loan Agreement are payable in full on August 31, 2016.

Covenants. The Loan Agreement has no financial covenants that we are required to comply with; however, it does require us to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting our business and operations which we were in compliance with at March 31, 2013.

Amendment to the Loan Agreement—Tranche B Loan

On December 28, 2012, in order to fund a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of Texadian Energy, the Loan Parties entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement with the Agent and the Lenders, pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to extend additional borrowings to us (the “Tranche B Loan”). The total commitment of the Tranche B Loan of $35.0 million was drawn at closing. In addition to funding a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of Texadian, the Tranche B Loan provides cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Facility with Compass Bank (as described below).

Set forth below are certain of the material terms of the Tranche B Loan:

Interest. At our election, the Tranche B Loan bears interest at a rate equal to 9.75% per annum payable either (i) in cash or (ii) in-kind. At any time after an event of default has occurred and is continuing, (i) all outstanding obligations will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 11.75% and (ii) all interest accrued and accruing will be payable in cash on demand.

Prepayment. We may prepay the Tranche B Loan at any time, provided that any prepayment is in an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000 or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Loan.

Maturity date. The maturity date is July 1, 2013.

Collateral. The Tranche B Loan is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and our subsidiaries, including Texadian, but excluding our equity interests in Piceance Energy.

Guaranty. All of our obligations under the Tranche B Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors, including, Texadian.

Fees and Commissions. We agreed to pay the Lenders a nonrefundable exit fee equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate amount of the Tranche B Loan. The exit fee is earned in full and payable on the maturity date of the Tranche B Loan or, if earlier, the date on which the Tranche B Loan is paid in full. Accordingly, we will accrete amounts due for the nonrefundable exit fee over the term of loan using the effective interest method.

On April 19, 2013, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to our Loan Agreement (see Note 13).

Letter of Credit Facility

On December 27, 2012, we entered into a letter of credit facility agreement with Compass Bank, as the lender (the “Compass Letter of Credit Facility”). The Compass Letter of Credit Facility, which matures on December 26, 2013, provides for a letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million that is available for the issuance of cash-collateralized standby letters of credit for us or any of our subsidiaries’ account. Letters of credit issued under the Compass Letter of Credit Facility are secured by an amount of cash pledged and delivered by us to Compass equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit. We agreed to pay a letter of credit fee equal to one and one half percent (1.5%) per annum of the stated face amount of each letter of credit for the number of days such letter of credit is to remain outstanding plus standard and customary administrative fees. The Compass Letter of Credit Facility does not contain any financial covenants; however, it does require us to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting our business and operations, which we are in compliance with at March 31 2013.

In connection with the acquisition of Texadian, Compass Bank issued an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit in favor of SEACOR Holdings, Inc. in the amount of $11.71 million (the “Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit”). The Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit secured SEACOR Holdings, Inc. in the event that either of the following letters of credit is drawn: (i) the letter of credit issued by DNB Bank, ASA in favor of Suncor Energy Marketing Inc., with an original maturity date of February 5, 2013; or (ii) the letter of credit issued by DNB Bank, ASA in favor of Cenovus Energy Marketing Services Limited, with an original maturity date of February 5, 2013. Those letters of credit have been terminated and released.

Cross Default Provisions

Included within each of the Company’s debt agreements are customary cross default provisions that require the repayment of amounts outstanding on demand should an event of default occur and not be cured within the permitted grace period, if any.

Warrant Issuance Agreement

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, we issued to the Lenders warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,592,125 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant Shares”). In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, we also entered into a Warrant Issuance Agreement, dated as of the Emergence Date (the “Warrant Issuance Agreement”). Subject to the terms of the Warrant Issuance Agreement, the holders are entitled to purchase shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants at an exercise price of $0.01 per share of common stock (the “Exercise Price”), subject to certain adjustments from time to time as provided in the Warrant Issuance Agreement. The Warrants expire on the earlier of (i) August 31, 2022 or (ii) the occurrence of certain merger or consolidation transactions specified in the Warrant Issuance Agreement. A holder may exercise the Warrants by paying the applicable exercise price in cash or on a cashless basis.

The number of Warrant Shares issued on the Emergence Date was determined based on the number of shares of our common stock issued as allowed claims on or about the Emergence Date by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Plan. The Warrant Issuance Agreement provides that the number of Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in the event that any additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock (the “Unresolved Bankruptcy Shares”) are authorized to be issued under the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court after the Emergence Date as a result of any unresolved bankruptcy claims under the Plan. Upon each issuance of any Unresolved Bankruptcy Shares, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (x) 147,655,815 and (y) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (1) 147,655,815 and (2) and the number of additional Unresolved Bankruptcy Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan. Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to the number of shares determined by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares which could be obtained upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. In the event that any Lender or its affiliates fails to fund its pro rata portion of any Loans required to be made under the Loan Agreement, then the number of Warrant Shares exercisable under the Warrants held by such Lender will be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares initially exercisable under the Warrant held by the Lender and (ii) a fraction equal to one minus the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of Loans previously made under the Loan Agreement by such Lender by (y) such Lender’s full commitment for Loans. From the Emergence Date through March 31, 2013, we issued an additional 1,925,865 Unresolved Bankruptcy Shares. This entitles the Lenders to receive an additional 125,109 Warrant Shares, for a total of 9,717,234 Warrant Shares, based on the formula described above.

The Warrant Issuance Agreement includes certain restrictions on the transfer by holders of their Warrants, including, among others, that (i) the Warrants and the notes under the Loan Agreement are not detachable for transfer purposes, and for as long as obligations under the Loan Agreement are outstanding, the notes and Warrants may not be transferred separately, and (ii) in the event that any holder desires to transfer any pro rata portion of the notes and Warrants, then such holder must provide the other Lenders and/or holders of the Warrants with a right of first offer to make an election to purchase such offered notes and Warrants.

The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the exercise prices of the Warrants will be adjusted in connection with certain issuances or sales of shares of the Company’s common stock and convertible securities, or any subdivision, reclassification or combinations of common stock. Additionally, in the case of any reclassification or capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, the holder of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such reclassification or reorganization shall have the right to receive upon exercise of the applicable Warrant, the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash or other property that such holder would have received if such Warrant had been exercised.

Based on certain anti-dilution provisions in the Warrant Issuance Agreement, we have concluded that the Warrants are not indexed to our equity. Accordingly, we have estimated the fair value of the Warrants on the date of grant to be approximately $6.6 million and recorded the estimated fair value of the Warrants as a derivative liability with the offset to debt discount. The debt discount will be amortized over the life of the Loan Agreement, using the effective interest method. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the Warrants will be reflected in earnings.
