364-DAY UNCOMMITTED REVOLVING LOAN AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
Execution Version
This 364-DAY UNCOMMITTED REVOLVING LOAN AGREEMENT (as the same may be amended, supplemented and restated from time to time, this “Agreement”) is made as of October 26, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), between EQT Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”) and EQT Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”).
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Lender and Borrower agree as follows:
1.Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from time to time prior to the Maturity Date (together with other capitalized terms not defined in the body of this Agreement, as defined in Exhibit A), Borrower may request that Lender make revolving loans (“Loans”) to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount outstanding not to exceed $500,000,000 at any time (the “Maximum Facility Amount”). The funding of any such Loans is within the sole and absolute discretion of Lender. Borrower may request that any Loans be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided and defined herein.
2.Repayment of the Loans.
(a) Promise to Pay. Borrower promises to pay the then-outstanding principal balance of the Loans, together with interest accrued and outstanding thereon and any other sums due hereunder, on the Maturity Date, as such Maturity Date may be extended as set forth in this Section 2.
(b) Extension of Maturity Date. So long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) a non-renewal notice has not been delivered by Lender in accordance with Section 9 at least 60 days prior to the then-effective Maturity Date, the Maturity Date shall automatically be extended for an additional 364-day period (with no limit on the number of such successive automatic annual extensions under this Section 2(b) prior to the termination hereof). If Lender delivers a non-renewal notice at least 60 days prior to the then-effective Maturity Date, then on such Maturity Date Borrower shall pay in full the unpaid principal amount of all Loans owing to Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to Lender under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any such extension of the Maturity Date, Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any time by repaying in full the unpaid principal amount of all Loans owing to Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due to Lender under this Agreement. As a condition to such termination, Borrower shall provide notice to Lender specifying the date of such termination. Upon payment in full of all outstanding amounts owed to Lender hereunder on the date specified in such termination notice, this Agreement will automatically terminate (other than the provisions that by their express terms survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and termination of this Agreement).
3.Procedure for Requesting a Borrowing. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including Section 7, Borrower may request to borrow Loans (or continue Eurodollar Rate
Loans or convert Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans) on any Business Day; but Borrower shall provide a written request (each a “Borrowing Request”) to Lender no later than 11:00 am (Pittsburgh time) on the Business Day that is at least three Business Days before the date of the proposed funding of a Loan or the date of the conversion or continuation of any Loan (each a “Borrowing Date”), which must be a Business Day. Borrower shall give such request in a form acceptable to Lender and each such Borrowing Request shall specify (i) whether Borrower is requesting a Loan, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) the location and number of Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed. If Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Borrowing Request or if Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then to the extent Lender agrees to make a Loan, the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If Borrower requests a borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Borrowing Request, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. A Loan may only be made in US Dollars. If Lender in its sole discretion agrees to make any Loan, Lender will make such Loans available to Borrower by promptly crediting such amounts to the account of Borrower designated by Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request. If Lender in its sole discretion decides to not make any Loan requested by Borrower, Lender will notify Borrower of its decision to not make such Loan by 11:00 am (Pittsburgh time) on the Business Day before the proposed Borrowing Date.
4.Interest.
(a) Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) Default Interest. If any amount payable by Borrower under this Agreement is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws (including the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania). Furthermore, while any Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws (including the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania). Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c) Interest Payment Dates. Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified
2
herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.
5.Increased Costs; Taxes; Prepayments of Loans; Guarantee Requirement.
(a) Increased Costs. Borrower shall pay increased costs on the Loans and taxes in connection with the Loans, in each case in accordance with the procedures and terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement as if the Loans were loans thereunder and Lender were a lender thereunder.
(b) Prepayment. Borrower may, at its option, as provided in this Section 5, at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, upon notice to Lender specifying (i) the date and amount of prepayment and (ii) the respective amounts to be prepaid in respect of such Loans. The payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified. All prepayments pursuant to this Section 5 shall include accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of prepayment.
(c) Guarantee Requirement. If any Subsidiary of Borrower provides a guarantee of Borrower’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement, then Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to promptly guarantee the obligations of Borrower hereunder pursuant to a guarantee agreement in form and substance substantially similar to the guarantee agreement delivered under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
6.Borrower’s Representations and Warranties. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender, on the date of this Agreement and on the date of each Borrowing Request in respect of the funding of a Loan and on the Borrowing Date when a Loan is funded, that:
(a) Borrower (i) has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (ii) is qualified to do business as a foreign entity in good standing in each jurisdiction of the United States in which the ownership of its properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and where the failure to so qualify would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;
(b) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights; and
(c) the sum of (i) the principal amount of such Loan requested on a Borrowing Date plus (ii) the principal amount of all other Loans outstanding on such Borrowing Date, does not exceed the Maximum Facility Amount.
