Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 28, 2013, Crosstex Energy, L.P. (the "Partnership") entered into an Eighth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement Amendment"), which amended that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2010 (the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Partnership, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer, and the other lenders party thereto, as amended by First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 2, 2011 (the "First Amendment"), Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 11, 2011 (the "Second Amendment"), Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 24, 2012 (the "Third Amendment"), Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2012 (the "Fourth Amendment"), Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated  Credit Agreement, dated as of August 3, 2012 (the "Fifth Amendment"), Sixth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 30, 2012 (the "Sixth Amendment") and Seventh Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 28, 2013 (the "Seventh Amendment" and, together with the Credit Agreement, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment and the Credit Agreement Amendment, the "Amended Credit Agreement"). A copy of the Credit Agreement Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Current Report").
The Credit Agreement Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) allow the Partnership to make additional investments in joint ventures and subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Partnership's obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement, (ii) decrease the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, being generally computed as the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges to consolidated interest charges) to 2.25 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014, with a minimum ratio of 2.50 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, and (iii) increase the maximum permitted consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, being generally computed as the ratio of total funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges) to 5.50 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, with a maximum ratio of 5.25 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter.
Upon the closing of the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Partnership had $60.0 million of outstanding borrowings and $62.3 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement, leaving the Partnership with approximately $512.7 million available capacity for additional borrowings and letters of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement.  In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Partnership paid a consent fee to the lenders party thereto.
The description set forth above is qualified in its entirety by (i) the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Partnership's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 16, 2010, (ii) the First Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Partnership's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 3, 2011, (iii) the Second Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit
2
