     On February 22, 2011, Coffeyville Resources, LLC (“CRLLC”), Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC, Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC, Coffeyville Resources Pipeline, LLC, Coffeyville Resources Crude Transportation, LLC and Coffeyville Resources Terminal, LLC (collectively, together with CRLLC, the “Borrowers”), and certain of CRLLC’s holding companies and other subsidiaries (collectively, together with the Borrowers, the “Credit Parties”) entered into a credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“Deutsche Bank”) as administrative agent and collateral agent.

     The ABL Credit Facility is a senior secured asset based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250.0 million with an incremental facility, which permits an increase in borrowings of up to $250.0 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 CRLLC 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

	o		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

     Furthermore, 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

     At the Borrowers’ option, loans under the ABL Credit Facility initially bear interest at an annual rate equal to (i) 3.00% plus LIBOR or (ii) 2.00% plus a base rate, subject to a 0.25% step-down based on the previous quarter’s excess availability.

     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.
