Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On March 10, 2008, Massey Energy Company’s (the Registrant’s) wholly owned and sole, direct operating subsidiary, A. T. Massey Coal Company, Inc. (the “Company”), acting as administrative borrower, individually and as agent on behalf of the other loan parties, entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated August 15, 2006 among the Company, The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc., as collateral agent and security trustee (the Collateral Agent”), UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the required lenders, which provides for available borrowings, including letters of credit, of up to $175 million (as amended previously on March 12, 2007 and July 19, 2007, the “Credit Agreement”).
The Third Amendment was entered into to extend the date the Company is required to deliver an Inventory Appraisal (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent at the end of each fiscal year.
Several of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have various relationships with the Registrant, the Company and its subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services, including investment banking, commercial banking, advisory, cash management, custody and trust services, for which they have received customary fees, and may do so again in the future.
A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and is hereby incorporated into this Item 1.01.
