Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Term Loan Credit Facility
On November 13, 2012, Alon USA Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Term Loan”) by and among the Company, as Borrower, the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.
Borrowings under the Term Loan are available as a single borrowing on the closing date of the Term Loan (the “Closing Date”) in an aggregate principal amount of $450 million. The loan under the Term Loan will mature on the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date.
Proceeds received by the Company under the Term Loan were used to repay the Company's existing term loan indebtedness of approximately $422 million and for general corporate purposes.
Obligations under the Term Loan are jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries except for our retail subsidiaries and those subsidiaries established in conjunction with our acquisition of the Krotz Springs, Louisiana refinery. The Term Loan is secured by a second lien on cash, accounts receivable and inventory and a first lien on most of our remaining assets. Liens securing the Term Loan exclude the assets of our retail subsidiaries and those subsidiaries established in conjunction with the Krotz Springs refinery acquisition.
The Term Loan includes customary events of default and restrictions on the activities of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate equal to, at the election of the Company, either (i) the Eurodollar rate plus 8.75% or (ii) the Prime rate plus 7.75%.
A copy of the Term Loan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Term Loan contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Term Loan.
Amendment to Israel Discount Bank of New York Credit Facility
In conjunction with the execution of the Term Loan, the Company entered into an Eleventh Amendment to the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Eleventh Amendment”) by and among the Company and Israel Discount Bank of New York, as administrative agent, co-arranger and collateral agent, Bank Leumi USA, as co-arranger, and certain other guarantor companies and financial institutions from time to time named therein. The Eleventh Amendment contained technical changes required to accommodate execution of the Term Loan described above.
A copy of the Eleventh Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Eleventh Amendment contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Eleventh Amendment.
On November 16, 2012, the Company entered into a Twelfth Amendment to Amended Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Twelfth Amendment") by and among the Company and Israel Discount Bank of New York, as administrative agent, co-arranger and collateral agent, Bank Leumi USA, as co-arranger, and certain other guarantor companies and financial institutions from time to time named therein. The Twelfth Amendment contained technical changes required to accommodate the previously-announced initial public offering of common units representing limited partnership interests of Alon USA Partners, LP.
A copy of the Twelfth Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Twelfth Amendment contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Twelfth Amendment.






The pro forma consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2012, reflects the current and long-term debt classification of existing term loan indebtedness at September 30, 2012 as if the Term Loan was entered into before the Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012 was filed on November 6, 2012.
