Senior Credit Facilities Asset Based Lending Facility HDS’s Senior Asset Based Lending Facility (“Senior ABL Facility”) provides for senior secured revolving loans and letters of credit of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1,500 million (subject to availability under a borrowing base). Extensions of credit under the Senior ABL Facility are limited by a borrowing base calculated periodically based on specified percentages of the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, subject to certain reserves and other adjustments. A portion of the Senior ABL Facility is available for letters of credit and swingline loans. As of August 2, 2015, HDS has $1,334 million of additional available borrowings under the Senior ABL Facility (after giving effect to the borrowing base limitations and approximately $34 million in letters of credit issued and including $52 million of borrowings available on qualifying cash balances). At HDS’s option, the interest rates applicable to the loans under the Senior ABL Facility are based (i) in the case of U.S. dollar-denominated loans, either at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin or Prime Rate plus an applicable margin and (ii) in the case of Canadian dollar-denominated loans, either the BA rate plus an applicable margin or the Canadian Prime Rate plus an applicable margin. The margins applicable for each elected interest rate are subject to a pricing grid, as defined in the Senior ABL Facility agreement, based on average excess availability for the previous fiscal quarter. The Senior ABL Facility also contains a letter of credit fee computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (as defined in the agreement) then in effect for LIBOR Loans and an unused commitment fee subject to a pricing grid, as included in the Senior ABL Facility agreement, based on the Average Daily Used Percentage (as defined in the agreement). The Senior ABL Facility also permits HDS to add one or more incremental term loan facilities to be included in the Senior ABL Facility or one or more revolving credit facility commitments to be included in the Senior ABL Facility. The Senior ABL Facility will mature on June 28, 2018 (or the maturity date under HDS’s Term Loan Facility, if earlier). Senior Secured Term Loan Facility HDS’s Senior Term Facility consists of a senior secured Term Loan Facility (the ‘‘Term Loan Facility,’’ the term loans thereunder, the ‘‘Term Loans’’) providing for Term Loans in an original aggregate principal amount of $1,000 million. The Term Loan Facility will mature on June 28, 2018 (the ‘‘Term Loan Maturity Date’’). The Term Loans amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility with the balance payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date. See “Note 14, Subsequent Event” for information on the August 2015 amendment of the Term Loan Facility. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and in accordance with the annual excess cash flow (“ECF”) provisions of the Term Loan Facility, the Company offered a prepayment of $34 million based on the ECF calculation for fiscal year 2014. The lenders in the Term Loan Facility accepted $16 million, which the Company paid on March 30, 2015. The Term Loans bear interest at LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1%) plus a borrowing margin of 3% or Prime plus a borrowing margin of 2% at HDS’s election, payable at the end of each calendar quarter with respect to Prime rate draws or at the maturity of each LIBOR draw (unless a draw is for a six-, nine-, or twelve-month period, then interest shall be paid quarterly). The Term Loans may be repaid at any time without penalty or premium. On February 6, 2014, HDS amended its Term Loan Facility to reduce the applicable margin for borrowings by 25 basis points and reduce the LIBOR floor from 1.25% to 1.00%. The amendment also extended the maturity of the Term Loans by approximately nine months, to June 28, 2018.
