Item 2.03.   Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
     Senior Secured Notes Offering
     On December 15, 2011, Resources and Coffeyville Finance Inc. (“Finance” and collectively, together with Resources, the “Issuers”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, closed an offering of $200 million aggregate principal amount of 9% first lien senior secured notes due 2015 (the “Notes”). The Notes were sold at issue price of 105% plus accrued interest since October 1, 2011. The Notes were issued as “Additional Notes” pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated April 6, 2010, among the Issuers, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Indenture, which includes a form of note, was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 12, 2010 and is incorporated by reference herein.
     The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries that also guarantee the ABL Credit Facility (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Issuers, the “Indenture Credit Parties”).
     The Notes bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum and mature on April 1, 2015, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Issuers. Interest is payable on the Notes semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year to holders of record at the close of business on March 15 and September 15, as the case may be, immediately preceding each such interest payment date.
     The Issuers will have the right to redeem the Notes at the redemption prices set forth below:
    On or after April 1, 2012, some or all of the Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of 106.750% of the principal amount thereof if redeemed during the twelve-moth period beginning on April 1, 2012, 104.500% of the principal amount thereof if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 1, 2013, and 100% of the principal amount if redeemed on or after April 1, 2014, plus any accrued and unpaid interest;
 
    Prior to April 1, 2012, up to 35% of the Notes issued under the Indenture

      may be redeemed with the proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 109.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest;
 
    Prior to April 1, 2012, some or all of the Notes may be redeemed at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium; and
 
    Prior to April 1, 2012, but not more than once in any twelve-month period, up to 10% of the Notes issued under the Indenture may be redeemed at a price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
     In addition, the Issuers are required to offer to repurchase the Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount upon the occurrence of a change of control, and are required to offer to repurchase the Notes at a purchase price of 100% upon the occurrence of certain asset sales.
     The Indenture contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Issuers and certain of their subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and make distributions on common and preferred stock, make other restricted payments, make investments, incur liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, in each case, subject to exclusions, and other customary covenants. The Indenture also contains customary events of default.
     The obligations of the Indenture Credit Parties under the Notes and the guarantees are secured by (1) a first priority security interest on substantially all of the Indenture Credit Parties’ assets other than inventory and accounts receivable and related assets which secure the ABL Credit Facility on a first priority basis (the “ABL Priority Collateral”) and (2) a second priority security interest on ABL Priority Collateral.
     ABL Credit Facility
     As disclosed under Item 1.01 above, on December 15, 2011, the Credit Parties entered into a $150.0 million Incremental Commitment Agreement pursuant to the ABL Credit Facility. Following the execution and delivery of the Incremental Commitment Agreement, the ABL Credit Facility is a senior secured asset based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400.0 million, together with an incremental facility which permits an increase in borrowings of up to $100.0 million in the aggregate subject to additional lender commitments and certain other conditions. The proceeds of the loans may be used for capital expenditures and working capital and general corporate purposes of Resources and its subsidiaries. The ABL Credit Facility provides for loans and

letters of credit in an amount up to the aggregate availability under the facility, subject to meeting certain borrowing base conditions, with sub-limits of 10% of the total facility commitment for swingline loans and 90% of the total facility commitment for letters of credit.
     The borrowing base at any time equals the lesser of
    the sum of (without duplication):
 
    the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and qualified cash equivalents held in deposit accounts or securities accounts that are subject to a control agreement and a first priority lien, plus
 
    85% of eligible accounts, plus

    prior to the disposition of the fertilizer business of certain Credit Parties, the lesser of (i) 65% of eligible fertilizer inventory and (ii) $10 million or, if an appraisal has been provided within the six months prior to any such date of determination, 85% of such appraised net orderly liquidation value of all eligible fertilizer inventory, plus
 
    80% of eligible in-transit crude oil, plus     
 
    100% of the value of paid but unexpired standby letters of credit, minus     
 
    the aggregate amount of reserves then established; and     
 
    the borrowing base as defined the indentures governing the notes and the existing second lien notes of Resources and Finance, in an amount equal to (i) 90% of all accounts receivables and (ii) 85% of the book value of all inventory.
     All borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of a default and accuracy of representations and warranties.
     Interest Rate and Fees
     Loans under the ABL Credit Facility currently bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the Borrowers’ option, (i) 2.75% plus LIBOR or (ii) 1.75% plus a base rate.
     The Borrowers must also pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the ABL Credit Facility equal to: (i) 0.375% per annum if utilization under the facility is equal to or greater than 66% of the total commitments, (ii) 0.50% per annum if utilization under the facility is equal to or greater than 33% but less

than 66.0% of the total commitments, and (ii) 0.625% per annum if utilization under the facility is less than 33.0% of the total commitments. The Borrowers must also pay customary letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin on LIBOR loans on the maximum amount available to be drawn under, and customary facing fees equal to 0.125% of the face amount of, each letter of credit.
     Mandatory and Voluntary Repayments
     The Borrowers are required to repay amounts outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility under specified circumstances, including with the proceeds of certain asset sales. In addition, the Borrowers are permitted to voluntarily prepay amounts outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility at any time.
     Amortization and Final Maturity
     There is no scheduled amortization under the ABL Credit Facility. All outstanding loans under the facility are due and payable in full on August 22, 2015.
     Guarantees and Security
     The obligations under the ABL Credit Facility and related guarantees are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of Resources’s and Finance’s and the guarantors’ inventory and accounts and a second priority security interest in substantially all of the Credit Parties’ other assets, in each case subject to Permitted Liens, other exceptions and the intercreditor agreements.
     Restrictive Covenants and Other Matters
     The ABL Credit Facility requires Resources in certain circumstances to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio test, and contains other restrictive covenants that limit Resources’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur liens, engage in a consolidation, merger, purchase or sale of assets, pay dividends, incur indebtedness, make advances, investment and loans, enter into affiliate transactions, issue equity interests, or create subsidiaries and unrestricted subsidiaries. We were in compliance with the covenants of the ABL Credit Facility as of September 30, 2011.
     The ABL Credit Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default.
     The description of the ABL Credit Facility above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Incremental Commitment Agreement and the Existing ABL Credit Facility. The Incremental Commitment Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and the ABL Credit Facility was attached to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 28, 2011 as Exhibit 1.1.
