Assets with the same useful lives and similar characteristics are depreciated using the same rate. The individual components of certain assets, such as tanks, are grouped together into a composite asset. Those assets are depreciated using a composite rate. The depreciation rates for our pipeline assets are approved and regulated by the FERC.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Expenditures to replace existing assets are capitalized and the replaced assets are retired.

The Operating Company’s credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) provides for a revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $600.0 million, which is expandable to $1.0 billion upon the Operating Company’s election, subject to obtaining additional lender commitments and satisfaction of customary conditions. Loan principal may be optionally repaid from time to time without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage), and is required to be paid at the maturity date of May 28, 2024. The loan is guaranteed by the Partnership, Tall Towers, Rattler OMOG LLC, Rattler Ajax Processing LLC, Rattler WTG LLC and the Holding Company and is secured by substantially all of the Partnership’s, the Operating Company’s and the other guarantors’ assets. On October 22, 2021, Rattler WTG LLC became a guarantor and restricted subsidiary under the credit agreement. On December 21, 2021, the Operating Company entered into the third amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) permit the Reorganization, including, without limitation, the formation of the Holding Company and the Contribution and (ii) provide for the addition of the Holding Company as a Guarantor and Restricted Subsidiary (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement).</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:31.6pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:109%">As of December 31, 2021, the Operating Company had $195.0 million of outstanding borrowings and $405.0 million available for future borrowings under the Credit Agreement.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:31.6pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:31.6pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:109%">The outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate elected by the Operating Company that is based on the prime rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin.

The Operating Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% per annum on the unused portion of the commitment, which fee is also dependent on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio.

a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets which results from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets. Express U.S. concurrently recognizes a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset that is depreciated over the life of the asset. The fair value of the asset retirement obligation is estimated using the expected cash flow approach that reflects a range of possible outcomes discounted at a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Subsequent to the initial measurement, the asset retirement obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. Changes in the obligation due to the passage of time are recognized in income as an operating expense using the interest method. Changes in the obligation due to changes in estimated cash flows are recognized as an adjustment of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset that is depreciated over the remaining life of the asset.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As the fair value of future removal

We capitalize certain environmental expenditures required in obtaining rights-of-way, regulatory approvals or permitting as part of the construction of facilities we use in our business operations. We accrue and expense environmental costs that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation. We generally do not discount environmental liabilities to a net present value, and we record environmental liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and we can reasonably estimate the costs. Generally, our recording of these accruals coincides with our completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action.

As an owner or operator of these facilities, we must comply with United States laws and regulations at the federal, state, and, in some cases, local levels that relate to worker safety, air and water quality, solid and hazardous waste storage, management, transportation and disposal, and other environmental matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing, and operating pipelines incorporates compliance with environmental laws and regulations, worker safety standards, and safety standards applicable to our various facilities. In addition, there is increasing focus from (i) city, state and federal regulatory officials and through litigation, on hydraulic fracturing and the real or perceived environmental impacts of this technique, which indirectly presents some risk to the available supply of natural gas and the resulting supply of NGLs, (ii) federal regulatory agencies regarding pipeline system safety which could impose additional regulatory burdens and increase the cost of our operations, and (iii) regulatory bodies and communities that could prevent or delay the development of fossil fuel energy infrastructure such as pipeline and associated facilities used in our business. Failure to comply with various health, safety and environmental laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil, and potentially criminal enforcement measures, including citizen suits, which can include the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements, and the issuance of injunctions or restrictions on operation. Management believes that, based on currently known information, compliance with these existing laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.</span></div>

We had no accruals for environmental matters as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.</span></div><div style="text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Regulatory Matters</span></div><div style="text-indent:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We periodically have regulatory proceedings with the FERC and, while the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, based upon our evaluation and experience to date, we do not expect the ultimate resolution of these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:115%;padding-left:9.67pt">Related Party Transaction</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:3pt;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We are managed and operated by ENLK and its affiliates.
