ITEM 1.01.         Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Purchase Agreement
On September 24, 2012, BreitBurn Energy
Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "
Partnership
"), BreitBurn Finance Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("
FinCo
" and, together with the Partnership, the "
Issuers
"), and
certain subsidiaries of the Partnership, as guarantors (the "
Guarantors
"), entered into a Purchase Agreement
(the "
Purchase Agreement
") with the initial purchasers as defined therein (the "
Initial Purchasers
"),
pursuant to which the Issuers agreed to sell $200 million in aggregate principal amount of the Issuers' 7.875% Senior
Notes due 2022 (the "
Additional
Notes
") to the Initial Purchasers in a private placement
exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "
Securities Act
").
On January 13, 2012, the Issuers issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the Issuers' 7.875% Senior Notes due
2022 (together with the Additional Notes, the "
Notes
"). The Additional Notes have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, the securities may not be offered or sold in the
United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws. The Additional Notes were resold by the Initial Purchasers to qualified institutional
buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary
representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions under which the Issuers and the Guarantors,
on one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, the Purchase Agreement requires the execution of a registration rights agreement,
described below, relating to the Additional Notes.
In April 2012, the borrowing base under
our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended (the "
Credit Agreement
") was redetermined
at $850 million. As a result of the completion of this offering, our borrowing base under our Credit Agreement was automatically
reduced from $850 million to $800 million.
On September 27, 2012, the Partnership
used the net proceeds of this offering of approximately $202.8 million (after deducting estimated fees and offering expenses) to
reduce borrowings under our Credit Agreement. After repayment of those funds, our outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement was
approximately $30
million as of September 27, 2012.
Indenture
On January 13, 2012, the Issuers entered
into an Indenture (the "
Indenture
"), by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors and U.S. National Bank
Association, as trustee (the "
Trustee
), governing the terms of the Notes.
Interest and Maturity
On January 13, 2012, the Issuers issued
$250 million in aggregate principal amount of the Issuers' 7.875% Senior Notes due 2022 pursuant to the Indenture in a private
placement exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. On September 27, 2012, the Issuers issued the Additional
Notes pursuant to the Indenture in a private placement exempt from registration requirements under the Securities Act. The Notes
will mature on April 15, 2022. The interest payment dates for the Notes are April 15 and October 15 of each year. Interest
will be paid on the Additional Notes from April 15, 2012 until maturity, commencing October 15, 2012.
2
Optional Redemption
Prior to January 15, 2015, the Issuers
may, at any time or from time to time, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the net proceeds
of a public or private equity offering at a redemption price of 107.875% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued
and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, if at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under
the Indenture remains outstanding after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing
of such equity offering. Prior to January 15, 2017, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes at a redemption price equal
to the sum of (i) the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) a make whole premium at the redemption date, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. On or after January 15, 2017, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes
at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 103.938% for the twelve-month period beginning on
January 15, 2017, 102.625% for the twelve-month period beginning January 15, 2018, 101.313% for the twelve-month period beginning
on January 15, 2019 and 100.00% for the twelve-month period beginning on January 15, 2020 and at any time thereafter, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date on the Notes.
Certain Covenants
The Indenture contains customary covenants
that restrict the Partnership's ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to: (i) sell assets including
equity interests in our subsidiaries; (ii) pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase our units or redeem or repurchase our
subordinated debt; (iii) make investments; (iv) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred units;
(v) create or incur certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from our
restricted subsidiaries to us; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; (viii) engage
in transactions with affiliates; (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries; or (x) engage in certain business activities.
These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. If the Notes achieve an investment grade rating
from each of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and no Default (as defined
in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of these covenants will terminate.
Events of Default
The Indenture also contains customary Events
of Defaults. Each of the following is an Event of Default: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on
the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes; (iii) failure by the
Partnership to comply with certain covenants relating to asset sales, repurchases of the Notes, merger or consolidation; (iv) failure
by the Partnership for 180 days after notice to comply with its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; (v) failure by the Partnership for 60 days after notice to comply with any of the other agreements in the Indenture;
(vi) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument governing any indebtedness for money borrowed or guaranteed by the
Partnership or any of its restricted subsidiaries, whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the date
of the Indenture, if such default: (a) is caused by a payment default; or (b) results in the acceleration of such indebtedness
prior to its stated maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of the indebtedness, together with the principal amount of
any other such indebtedness under which there has been a payment default or acceleration of maturity, aggregates $10.0 million
or more, subject to a cure provision; (vii) failure by the Partnership or any of its restricted subsidiaries to pay final
judgments aggregating in excess of $10.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;
(viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any subsidiary guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable
or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force or effect, or any Guarantor, or any person acting on behalf of any Guarantor,
denies or disaffirms its obligations under its subsidiary guarantee; and (ix) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization described in the Indenture with respect to the Issuers or any of the Partnership's restricted subsidiaries
that is a significant subsidiary or any group of restricted subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a significant subsidiary
of the Partnership. Upon a continuing Event of Default, the Trustee, by notice to the Issuers, or the holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, by notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, may declare the Notes immediately due
and payable, except that an Event of Default resulting from entry into a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect
to the Issuers, any restricted subsidiary of the Partnership that is a significant subsidiary or any group of its restricted subsidiaries
that, taken together, would constitute a significant subsidiary of the Partnership, will automatically cause the Notes to become
due and payable.
Registration Rights Agreement
On September 27, 2012, the Issuers entered
into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "
Registration Rights Agreement
"), with the Guarantors and Wells
Fargo Securities, LLC, as representative of the Initial Purchasers in connection with the private placement of the Additional Notes.
3
Under the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Issuers and the Guarantors shall cause to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement with
respect to an offer to exchange the Additional Notes for substantially identical notes that are registered under the Securities
Act. The Issuers and the Guarantors will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such exchange offer registration statement
to become effective under the Securities Act. In addition, the Issuers and the Guarantors will use their commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the exchange offer to be consummated not later than 400 days after January 13, 2012. Under some circumstances,
in lieu of, or in addition to, a registered exchange offer, the Issuers and the Guarantors have agreed to file a shelf registration
statement with respect to the Additional Notes. The Issuers and the Guarantors are required to pay additional interest if they
fail to comply with their obligations to register the Additional Notes within the specified time periods.
Miscellaneous
The descriptions set forth above are qualified
in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, which are filed with this Current
