Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On
Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow and may obtain letters of credit for general corporate purposes for its own account or the account of its subsidiaries, in each case, in
The Credit Agreement replaces the Company's former credit agreement, dated as of
The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the Credit Agreement from time to time until the expiration of the Credit Agreement on the date that is five years after the Closing Date, on which date all of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest will become due. The Credit Agreement may be increased, at the Company's election, to provide for up to an additional
At the Company's option, any loan under the Credit Agreement may be a base rate loan or a benchmark rate loan. Interest on base rate loans, which will be
The Company may select interest periods of one or three months for term rate loans (which, as of the Closing Date will be all benchmark rate loans other than SONIA loans), subject to availability. Interest on term rate loans shall be payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly. Interest on base rate loans and SONIA loans shall be payable quarterly.
The Company will also pay (i) a facility fee at a rate that varies with the Company's long-term debt ratings and that is calculated on the aggregate amount of the commitments under the Credit Agreement, (ii) letter of credit fees calculated on the aggregate amount of undrawn letters of credit, and (iii) certain other fees incurred by the Lenders. During an event of default, interest on overdue amounts will accrue at a rate equal to 2% above the interest rates otherwise applicable to such amounts.
The Credit Agreement is unsecured but contains representations and warranties, and affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including restrictions related to, among other things, indebtedness, liens, asset dispositions, merger or consolidation, consolidated net worth and the ratio of consolidated indebtedness to total capitalization. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default for facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable), including, among other things the non-paymentof principal, interest and fees, breaches of covenants, inaccuracies of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events and material judgments. An event of default would permit the Lenders to require immediate payment of all amounts due under the Credit Agreement, including principal and accrued interest, terminate their commitments and enforce any and all rights, subject to cure provisions, where applicable. Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains cross-acceleration provisions, which would make outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement immediately payable in the event of non-paymentof other material indebtedness when due, and any other event which results in the acceleration of the maturity of material indebtedness.
The Credit Agreement also provides that upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (i) one or more Lenders may withdraw from the Credit Agreement, and (ii) if agreed upon by a majority of the Lenders, the Credit Agreement will terminate and the Company must prepay all outstanding amounts owing thereunder and cash collateralize any outstanding letters of credit.
Some of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and/or their affiliates have or may have had various relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries involving the provision of a variety of financial services, including investment banking, underwriting, commercial banking and letters of credit, for which the Lenders and/or affiliates receive customary fees and, in some cases, out-of-pocketexpenses.
The foregoing description is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the Credit Agreement. Since the terms of the Credit Agreement may differ from the general information contained herein, you should only rely on the actual terms of the Credit Agreement, which is filed with this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
