| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
Closing of 6.875% Senior Notes Offering
On October 6, 2017, PBF Logistics LP (the “Partnership”), a consolidated subsidiary of PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”), entered into the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 6, 2017 (the “Supplemental Indenture) to the Indenture dated May 12, 2015 (as amended from time to time, the “Base Indenture,” together with the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Partnership, PBF Logistics Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership (“PBF Logistics 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 $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Additional Notes”), pursuant to a private placement transaction conducted under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $175.0 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses, and intends to use such proceeds to repay a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes.
The Additional Notes were issued as additional notes under the Base Indenture, pursuant to which the Issuers previously issued $350.0 million of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Existing Notes”, and together with the Additional Notes, the “notes”). Interest on the Additional Notes accrues beginning on May 15, 2017 at a rate of 6.875% per year. Interest on the Additional Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2017, and the Additional Notes mature on May 15, 2023. The Additional Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of the Partnership’s existing subsidiaries (other than PBF Logistics Finance Corporation) and certain of the Partnership’s future restricted subsidiaries. In addition, PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”), a consolidated subsidiary of PBF Energy, has provided a limited guarantee of collection of the principal amount of the Additional Notes, but is not otherwise subject to the covenants of the Indenture. The Additional 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 Partnership’s revolving credit facility and the Existing Notes. The Additional Notes will be senior to any future subordinated indebtedness the Issuers may incur. The Additional Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including the Partnership’s revolving credit facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing that secured debt and will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness of the Partnership’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.
The Additional Notes are expected to be treated as a single series with the Existing Notes and will have the same terms as those of the Existing Notes, except that (i) the Additional Notes will be subject to a separate registration rights agreement and (ii) the Additional Notes will be issued initially under CUSIP numbers different from the Existing Notes. The Additional Notes and the Existing Notes will vote as one class under the Indenture. Holders who exchange their Additional Notes in a future registered exchange offer will receive registered notes that are expected to share a single CUSIP number with the Additional Notes, and the Issuers expect that such registered notes and the Existing Notes will thereafter be fungible. Prior to that, the Additional Notes will trade separately from the Existing Notes.
The Base Indenture contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants include limitations on the Partnership’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 the Partnership’s 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.
At any time prior to May 15, 2018, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Additional Notes in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.875% of the principal amount of the Additional Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. On or after May 15, 2018, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the Additional Notes, in each case at the redemption prices described in the Base Indenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. In addition, prior to May 15, 2018, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the Additional Notes at a “make-whole” redemption price described in the Base Indenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. If the Partnership undergoes certain change of control events, holders of the Additional Notes will have the right to require the Issuers to purchase all or any part of the Additional Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Additional Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. In connection with certain asset dispositions, the Issuers will be required to use the net cash proceeds of the asset dispositions (subject to a right to reinvest such net cash proceeds) to make an offer to purchase the Additional Notes at 100% of the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The Issuers may issue additional notes from time to time pursuant to the Base Indenture.
The foregoing summaries of the Indenture and the Additional Notes do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Base Indenture, which includes the form of the certificate for the Additional Notes, a copy of which was previously filed as Exhibit 4.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 18, 2015 and incorporated herein by reference, and the Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Guaranty of Collection
On October 6, 2017, PBF LLC entered into an Amended and Restated Guaranty of Collection (the “Guaranty”) in favor of the Issuers for the benefit of the holders of the notes and the Trustee under the Indenture. Pursuant to the Guaranty, PBF LLC has provided a limited guarantee of collection of the principal amount of the notes outstanding under the Indenture. Under the Guaranty, 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 the Issuers with respect to such payment obligation, and holders of the notes are still owed amounts in respect of the principal of the notes. PBF LLC will not otherwise be subject to the covenants of the Indenture.
The foregoing description is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Guaranty, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

9. No Waiver . No delay or omission on the part of the Trustee or any of the Holders in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such rights or any other rights, and no waiver of any right on any one occasion shall result in a waiver of such right on any future occasion or of any other rights; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

principal amounts guaranteed under the Other Guarantees (without duplication of any reduction in the determination of net assets on account of such guarantees). In the event the Parent Guarantor disposes of, transfers or conveys any of its material
assets (except with respect to distributions permitted in
Section
12(b)
below) (the “
Disposed Assets
”) and such disposal, transfer, or conveyance causes the Parent Guarantor to be unable to make the
representation in the previous sentence on a pro forma basis, the Parent Guarantor shall promptly replace the Disposed Assets with assets having a net fair market value (after taking into account any indebtedness to be assumed by the Parent
Guarantor in connection with any such transaction) sufficient to enable the Parent Guarantor to be able to make the representation in the previous sentence on a pro forma basis. Parent Guarantor shall provide a certificate (the “
NAV
Certificate
”) to PBF Logistics LP and the Trustee on an annual basis (beginning on the first anniversary of this Agreement and until the Guaranteed Obligations or the Supported Debt, as the case may be, have been paid in full) providing
that it is in full compliance with this
Section
12(a)
.
(b) Distributions . The Parent Guarantor shall be entitled to make distributions of available cash with respect to its equity interests provided the Parent Guarantor shall not make a distribution of cash or property to the extent such distribution would constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance (as defined in Section 14 ) in light of the Parent Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee or Other Guarantees or otherwise impair the Parent Guarantor’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Guarantee or Other Guarantees.
13. Covenants of PBF Logistics LP and the Parent Guarantor to Maintain Tax Treatment . For so long as this Agreement is in effect, PBF Logistics LP and the Parent Guarantor hereby agree that:
(a) It is the intent of the parties to treat the Parent Guarantor as the sole partner bearing the economic risk of loss with respect to the Supported Debt pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.752-2 and, for federal income tax purposes, PBF Logistics LP as the sole borrower. Neither PBF Logistics LP nor any partner of PBF Logistics LP shall take a position inconsistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by a change in applicable law after the date hereof.
(b) It is the intent of the parties, that any distribution to the Parent Guarantor by PBF Logistics LP of any portion of the proceeds of the Supported Debt be treated as a distribution under Section 731 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and neither PBF Logistics LP nor any partner of PBF Logistics LP shall take a position inconsistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by a change in applicable law after the date hereof.
(c) Neither PBF Logistics LP nor the Parent Guarantor shall (i) modify this Agreement so as to eliminate or limit the ultimate recourse liability (for purposes of Section 752 of the Code) of the Parent Guarantor with respect to the Supported Debt, or (ii) except as required by the Senior Notes Indenture, cause or permit any other corporation, partnership, person or entity to assume, guarantee, indemnify against or otherwise incur any liability with respect to any Supported Debt.
7
(d) In the event a subsidiary of PBF Logistics LP that is regarded as separate and apart from PBF Logistics LP for U.S. federal income tax purposes becomes a Subsidiary Parent Guarantor (as such term is defined in the Senior Notes Indenture) of the Supported Debt or otherwise guarantees the Supported Debt, the Parent Guarantor agrees to indemnify such subsidiary for any amounts that the subsidiary is required to pay pursuant to its guarantee of the Supported Debt.
(e) In the event a partner of PBF Logistics LP guarantees or otherwise incurs any liability with respect to the Supported Debt, the Parent Guarantor agrees to indemnify such partner for any amounts that the partner is required to pay pursuant to its guarantee or liability with respect to the Supported Debt.
14. Fraudulent Conveyance . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that neither this Agreement nor the guaranty of collection provided for herein constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance (as defined below). Consequently, the Parent Guarantor agrees that if this Guarantee would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, this Agreement (and the guaranty of collection provided for herein) shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause this Agreement (and the guaranty of collection provided for herein) to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times. For purposes of this Section 14 , the term “ Fraudulent Conveyance ” means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time.
15. Representations and Warranties . The Parent Guarantor represents and warrants that
(a) it (i) is duly formed, validly existing and, as applicable, in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and (ii) has all requisite power and authority and all requisite governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(b) the execution, delivery and performance by the Parent Guarantor of this Agreement (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action, and (ii) do not and will not (A) contravene the terms of its organizational documents; (B) conflict in any material respect with or result in any material breach or contravention of (1) any material contractual Obligation to which it is a party or affecting it or its properties or (2) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any governmental authority or any arbitral award to which it or its property is subject; or (D) violate any material law applicable to it or its property in any material respect;
8
(c) no material approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any governmental authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with (i) the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, the Parent Guarantor of this Agreement or (ii) the exercise by the Trustee (on behalf of the Holders) of their rights hereunder except for authorizations, approvals, actions, notices and filings which have been duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect;
(d) this Agreement when delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered by the Parent Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Parent Guarantor, enforceable against the Parent Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and general equitable principles; and
(e) by virtue of the Parent Guarantor’s relationship with the Issuers, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is for the direct benefit of the Parent Guarantor and the Parent Guarantor has received adequate consideration for this Agreement.
16. Expenses; Indemnity .

9

The agreements in this Section 16 shall survive the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Supported Debt and all other amounts payable under the Senior Notes Indenture and the Notes and the resignation or removal of the Trustee under the Indenture. No Indemnitee shall be liable to any Issuer Party, their Affiliates or any other Person, and the Issuer Parties and their Affiliates will not be liable to any Indemnitee, its Affiliates or any other Person, for any claim on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided that, nothing contained in this Section 16(c) shall limit the Issuers’ indemnification obligations with respect to indirect, consequential or punitive damage claims, to the extent of the indemnification provided in Section 16(c) (but only to the extent asserted against any Indemnitee by a third party (other than another Indemnitee)). No Indemnitee referred to in Section 16(b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
