The foregoing description of the Indenture is included to provide you with a summary of its key terms. It does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On February 14, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Borrower entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) among the Borrower, the Company, each lender from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The Term Loan Agreement provides for total term loan commitments of $950.0 million.
The Term Loan Agreement amended and restated the Borrower’s existing credit agreement governing its term loan facility to, among other things, (1) provide for aggregate principal amount of $950.0 million of term loans and (2) reflect certain changes to incremental capacity, covenants and other terms as set forth in the Term Loan Agreement.
Interest Rate
Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Borrower’s option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) the LIBO rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00% or (2) the LIBO rate determined by reference to the London interbank offered rate for dollars for the applicable interest period length as elected by the Borrower. The applicable margin for base rate borrowings is 4.0% per annum and the applicable margin for LIBO rate borrowings is 5.0% per annum.
Amortization and Final Maturity
The Borrower is required to make quarterly amortization payments under the Term Loan Agreement in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of term loans outstanding on the Closing Date. The remaining principal amount outstanding under the term loan facility will be due and payable in full on (x) if the Springing Maturity Condition does not apply, December 31, 2025 and (y) if the Springing Maturity Condition does apply, the 2023 Springing Maturity Date. The “Springing Maturity Condition” applies if, on the 2023 Springing Maturity Date, an aggregate principal amount of the Borrower’s 7.625% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) in excess of $125.0 million are either outstanding or have not been repaid or redeemed with certain qualifying proceeds specified in the Term Loan Agreement. The “2023 Springing Maturity Date” means the date that is 91 days before the maturity date with respect to the 2023 Notes.
Guarantees and Collateral
Obligations under the Term Loan Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and each of the Borrower’s existing and future U.S. wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries (with certain exceptions for immaterial subsidiaries) and are secured by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and the guarantors, in each case, now owned or later acquired, including a pledge of all of the Borrower’s capital stock, the capital stock of substantially all of the Borrower’s U.S. wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of certain of the Borrower’s foreign restricted subsidiaries, subject in each case to the exclusion of certain assets and additional exceptions.
