As defined in the agreement, the LC Participation Fee ranges from 1.25% to 2.0% depending on the Company’s debt rating and the Fronting Fee is equal to 0.25% .

In November 2015, PBF Holding increased the maximum availability under the Revolving Loan to $2,600,000 and in December 2015 it was increased to $2,635,000 , in accordance with its accordion feature. In addition, the amended and restated agreement reduced the interest rate on advances and the commitment fee paid on the unused portion of the facility. At the option of PBF Holding, advances under the Revolving Loan will bear interest either at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the agreement.

Interest is paid in arrears, either quarterly in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans or at the maturity of each Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan. Advances under the Revolving Loan, plus all issued and outstanding letters of credit may not exceed the lesser of $2,635,000 or the Borrowing Base, as defined in the agreement. The Revolving Loan can be prepaid, without penalty, at any time. The Revolving Loan has a financial covenant which requires that if at any time Excess Availability, as defined in the agreement, is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of the then existing Borrowing Base and the then aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders (the Financial Covenant Testing Amount), and (ii) $100,000 , and until such time as Excess Availability is greater than the Financial Covenant Testing Amount and $100,000 for a period of 12 or more consecutive days, PBF Holding will not permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the agreement and determined as of the last day of the most recently completed quarter, to be less than 1.1 to 1.0 . PBF Holding’s obligations under the Revolving Loan (a) are guaranteed by each of its domestic operating subsidiaries that are not Excluded Subsidiaries (as defined in the agreement) and (b) are secured by a lien on (x) PBF LLC’s equity interest in PBF Holding and (y) certain assets of PBF Holding and the subsidiary guarantors, including all deposit accounts (other than zero balance accounts, cash collateral accounts, trust accounts and/or payroll accounts, all of which are excluded from the collateral), all accounts receivable, all hydrocarbon inventory (other than the intermediate and finished products owned by J. Aron pursuant to the Inventory Intermediation Agreements) and to the extent evidencing, governing, securing or otherwise related to the foregoing, all general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, letter of credit rights and supporting obligations; and all products and proceeds of the foregoing. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , and standby letters of credit were $351,511 and $400,262 , respectively. PBFX Credit Facilities On May 14, 2014, in connection with the closing of the PBFX Offering, PBFX entered into a five -year, $275,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “PBFX Revolving Credit Facility”) and a three -year, $300,000 term loan facility (the “PBFX Term Loan”), each with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $275,000 to $325,000 in December 2014. The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility is available to fund working capital, acquisitions, distributions and capital expenditures and for other general partnership purposes. PBFX can increase the maximum amount of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount of up to $275,000 , to a total facility size of $600,000 , subject to receiving increased commitments from lenders or other financial institutions and satisfaction of certain conditions. The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility includes a $25,000 sublimit for standby letters of credit and a $25,000 sublimit for swingline loans. Obligations under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and certain cash management and hedging obligations designated by PBFX are guaranteed by its restricted subsidiaries, and are secured by a first priority lien on PBFX’s assets (including PBFX’s equity interests in Delaware City Terminaling Company LLC) and those of PBFX’s restricted subsidiaries (other than excluded assets and a guaranty of collection from PBF LLC). The maturity date of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility may be extended for one year on up to two occasions, subject to certain customary terms and conditions. Borrowings under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75% , or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% . The applicable margin will vary based upon PBFX’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility. The PBFX Term Loan was used to fund a distributions to PBF LLC and is guaranteed by a guaranty of collection from PBF LLC and secured at all times by cash, U.S. Treasury or other investment grade securities in an amount equal to or greater than the outstanding principal amount (refer to Note 12 “Marketable Securities” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Borrowings under the PBFX Term Loan bear interest either at the Base Rate (as defined in the PBFX Term Loan), or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin equal to 0.25% . The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for revolving credit facilities of this nature which, among other things, limit or restrict PBFX’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee debt, incur liens, make investments, make restricted payments, amend material contracts, engage in business activities, engage in mergers, consolidations and other organizational changes, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets or enter into burdensome agreements or enter into transactions with affiliates on terms which are not arm’s length. The PBFX Term Loan contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for term loans of this nature which, among other things, limit PBFX’s use of the proceeds and restrict PBFX’s ability to incur liens and enter into burdensome agreements. Additionally, under the terms of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility is required to maintain the following financial ratios, each tested on a quarterly basis for the immediately preceding four quarter period then ended (or such shorter period as shall apply, the “Measurement Period”): (a) until such time as PBFX obtains an investment grade credit rating, Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility) of at least 2.50 to 1.00 ; (b) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00 (or 4.50 to 1.00 at any time after (i) PBFX has issued at least $100,000 of unsecured notes and (ii) in addition to clause (i), upon the consummation of a Material Permitted Acquisition (as defined in the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility) and for two-hundred seventy days immediately thereafter (an “Increase Period”), if elected by PBFX by written notice to the administrative agent given on or prior to the date of such acquisition, the maximum permitted Consolidated Total Coverage Ratio shall be increased by 0.50 to 1.00 above the otherwise relevant level (the “Step-Up”) provided that Increase Periods may not be successive unless the ratio has been complied with for at least one Measurement Period ending after such Increase Period (i.e., without giving effect to the Step-Up)) and (c) after PBFX has issued at least $100,000 of unsecured notes, the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00 . The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility generally prohibits PBFX from making cash distributions (subject to certain exceptions) except for so long as no default or event of default exists or would be caused thereby, and only to the extent permitted by PBFX’s partnership agreement, PBFX may make cash distributions to its unit holders up to the amount of PBFX’s Available Cash (as defined in the partnership agreement). The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and the PBFX Term Loan contain events of default customary for transactions of their nature, including, but not limited to (and subject to any applicable grace periods in certain circumstances), the failure to pay any principal, interest or fees when due, failure to perform or observe any covenant contained in the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility or related documentation, any representation or warranty made in the agreements or related documentation being untrue in any material respect when made, default under certain material debt agreements, commencement of bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, certain changes in PBFX’s ownership or the ownership or board composition of PBF GP and material judgments or orders. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the agreements, the lenders may, among other things, terminate their commitments, declare any outstanding loans to be immediately due and payable and/or exercise remedies against PBFX and the collateral as may be available to the lenders under the agreements and related documentation or applicable law. The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and the PBFX Term Loan may be repaid, from time-to-time, without penalty. As of December 31, 2015 , there were $24,500 of borrowings and $2,000 of letters of credit outstanding under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility, and $234,200 outstanding under the PBFX Term Loan. At December 31, 2014 , there were borrowings of $275,100 outstanding under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and $234,900 outstanding under the PBFX Term Loan. PBFX Senior Notes On May 12, 2015, PBFX entered into an indenture among the Partnership, PBF Logistics Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership (“PBF Finance,” and together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”), the Guarantors named therein and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, under which the Issuers issued $350,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “PBFX Senior Notes”). The initial purchasers in the offering purchased $330,090 aggregate principal amount of the PBFX Senior Notes pursuant to a private placement transaction conducted under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and certain of PBF Energy’s officers and directors and their affiliates and family members purchased the remaining $19,910 aggregate principal amount of the PBFX Senior Notes in a separate private placement transaction. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $343,000 from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses, and used such proceeds to pay $88,000 of the cash consideration due in connection with the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack Acquisition and to repay $255,000 of outstanding indebtedness under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility. PBF LLC agreed to a limited guarantee of collection of the principal amount of the PBFX Senior Notes, but is not otherwise subject to the covenants of the indenture. The PBFX Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and are equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and PBFX Term Loan. The PBFX Senior Notes will be senior to any future subordinated indebtedness the Issuers may incur. The PBFX Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and PBFX Term Loan, to the extent of the value of the assets securing that secured debt and will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness of PBFX’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the PBFX Senior Notes. The PBFX indenture contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for transactions of this nature. These covenants include limitations on PBFX’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: (i) make investments, (ii) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred units, (iii) pay dividends or make distributions on units or redeem or repurchase its subordinated debt, (iv) create liens, (v) incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries, (vi) sell assets, (vii) merge or consolidate with other entities and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. PBFX has optional redemption rights to repurchase all or a portion of the PBFX Senior Notes at varying prices no less than 100% of the principal amount of the PBFX Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the PBFX Senior Notes have repurchase options exercisable only upon a change in control, certain asset dispositions, or in event of default as defined in the indenture. PBF LLC, exclusive of its consolidating subsidiaries, provides a limited guarantee of collection of the principal amount of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility, the PBFX Term Loan and the PBFX Senior Notes. Under the PBF LLC parent company limited guarantee, PBF LLC would not have any obligation to make principal payments with respect to the notes unless all remedies, including in the context of bankruptcy proceedings, have first been fully exhausted against PBFX with respect to such payment obligation, and holders of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility, the PBFX Term Loan and the PBFX Senior Notes are still owed amounts in respect of the principal of the notes. PBF LLC is not otherwise subject to the covenants of the indenture governing the notes. As a result of the limited guarantee the following PBF LLC parent company balance sheets and statements of operations support the limited guarantee of collection.

The primary purpose of the Rail Facility is to fund the acquisition by PBF Rail of coiled and insulated crude tank cars and non-coiled and non-insulated general purpose crude tank cars (the “Eligible Railcars”) before December 2015. The amount available to be advanced under the Rail Facility is equals to 70% of the lesser of the aggregate Appraised Value of the Eligible Railcars, or the aggregate Purchase Price of such Eligible Railcars, as these terms are defined in the Rail Facility. On the first anniversary of the closing, the advance rate adjusts automatically to 65% . At any time prior to maturity PBF Rail may repay and re-borrow any advances without premium or penalty. At PBF Rail’s election, advances bear interest at a rate per annum equal to one month LIBOR plus the Facility Margin for Eurodollar Loans, or the Corporate Base Rate plus the Facility Margin for Base Rate Loans (the Corporate Base Rate is equal to the higher of the prime rate as determined by CA-CIB, the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points, or one month LIBOR plus 100 basis points), all as defined in the Rail Facility. In addition, there is a commitment fee on the unused portion. Interest and fees are payable monthly. The lenders received a perfected, first priority security interest in all of PBF Rail’s assets, including but not limited to (i) the Eligible Railcars, (ii) all railcar marks and other intangibles, (iii) the rights of PBF Rail under the Transportation Services Agreement (“TSA”) entered into between PBF Rail and PBF Holding, (iv) the accounts of PBF Rail, and (v) proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Eligible Railcars, including insurance proceeds. In addition, the lenders received a pledge of the membership interest of PBF Rail held by PBF Transportation Company LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding. The obligations of PBF Holding under the TSA are guaranteed by each of Delaware City Refining, Paulsboro Refining, and Toledo Refining. On April 29, 2015, PBF Rail entered into the First Amendment to the Rail Facility. The amendments to the Rail Facility include the extension of the maturity to April 29, 2017, the reduction of the total commitment from $250,000 to $150,000 , and the reduction of the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Rail Facility. On the first anniversary of the closing of the amendment, the advance rate adjusts automatically to 65% . There was $67,491 and $37,270 outstanding under the Rail Facility at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. Senior Secured Notes On February 9, 2012, PBF Holding completed the offering of $675,500 aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Senior Secured Notes”). The net proceeds, after deducting the original issue discount, the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions, and the fees and expenses of the offering, were used to repay all of the outstanding indebtedness plus accrued interest owed under the Toledo Promissory Note, the Paulsboro Promissory Note, and the Term Loan, as well as to reduce the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loan. On November 24, 2015, PBF Holding and PBF Holding’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Finance Corporation completed an offering of $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Senior Secured Notes”, and together with the 2020 Senior Secured Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes”). The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $490,000 after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. The Company intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to fund a portion of the purchase price for the pending acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets. The 2023 Senior Secured Notes include a registration payment arrangement whereby the Company has agreed to file with the SEC and use reasonable efforts to cause to become effective within 365 days of the closing date, a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange the 2023 Senior Secured Notes for an issue of registered notes with terms substantially identical to the notes. The Company fully intends to file a registration statement for the exchange of the 2023 Senior Secured Notes within the 365 day period following the closing of the 2023 Senior Secured Notes. In addition, there are no restrictions or hindrances that the Company is aware of that would prohibit it from filing such registration statement and maintaining its effectiveness as stipulated in the registration rights agreement. As such, the Company asserts that it is not probable that it will have to transfer any consideration as a result of the registration rights agreement and thus no loss contingency was recorded. The Senior Secured Notes are secured on a first-priority basis by substantially all of the present and future assets of PBF Holding and its subsidiaries (other than assets securing the Revolving Loan). Payment of the Senior Secured Notes is jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of PBF Holding’s subsidiaries. PBF Holding has optional redemption rights to repurchase all or a portion of the Senior Secured Notes at varying prices no less than 100% of the principal amounts of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the Senior Secured Notes have repurchase options exercisable only upon a change in control, certain asset sale transactions, or in event of a default as defined in the indenture agreement. In addition, the Senior Secured Notes contain covenant restrictions limiting certain types of additional debt, equity issuances, and payments. At all times after (a) a covenant suspension event which requires that the Senior Secure Notes have investment grade ratings from both Moody’s Investment Services, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s), or (b) a Collateral Fall-Away Event, as defined in the indenture, the Senior Secured Notes will become unsecured. Catalyst Leases Subsidiaries of the Company have entered into agreements at each of its refineries whereby the Company sold certain of its catalyst precious metals to major commercial banks and then leased them back. The catalyst is required to be repurchased by the Company at market value at lease termination. The Company treated these transactions as financing arrangements, and the lease payments are recorded as interest expense over the agreements’ terms. The Company has elected the fair value option for accounting for its catalyst lease repurchase obligations as the Company’s liability is directly impacted by the change in value of the underlying catalyst. The fair value of these repurchase obligations as reflected in the fair value of long-term debt outstanding table below is measured using Level 2 inputs. Details on the catalyst leases at each of our refineries as of December 31, 2015 are included in the following table: Annual lease fee Annual interest rate Expiration date Paulsboro catalyst lease $ 180 1.95 % December 2016 * Delaware City catalyst lease $ 322 1.96 % October 2016 * Toledo catalyst lease $ 326 1.99 % June 2017 Chalmette catalyst lease $ 185 3.85 % November 2018 * The Paulsboro and Delaware catalyst leases are included in long-term debt as of December 31, 2015 as the Company has the ability and intent to finance these debts through availability under other credit facilities if the catalyst leases are not renewed at maturity. Long-term debt outstanding consisted of the following: December 31, December 31, 2020 Senior Secured Notes $ 669,644 $ 668,520 2023 Senior Secured Notes 500,000 — PBFX Revolving Credit Facility 24,500 275,100 PBFX Term Loan 234,200 234,900 PBFX Senior Notes 350,000 — Rail Facility 67,491 37,270 Catalyst leases 31,802 36,559 Unamortized deferred financing costs (41,282 ) (32,280 ) 1,836,355 1,220,069 Less—Current maturities — — Long-term debt $ 1,836,355 $ 1,220,069 Debt Maturities Debt maturing in the next five years and thereafter is as follows: Year Ending December 31, 2016 $ 17,252 2017 311,364 2018 4,877 2019 24,500 2020 669,644 Thereafter 850,000 $ 1,877,637 |
