(1) In each case, as amended. MetLife 2014 Note Agreement On March 23, 2020, we entered into the Second Amendment to the MetLife 2014 Note Agreement (the “MetLife Second Amendment”), in order to (i) increase the facility size from $150 million to $300 million, (ii) extend the facility issuance period to December 20, 2022, (iii) make various implementing and administrative changes in order to facilitate a $125 million notes issuance on April 2, 2020 and (iv) allow the amount available to be issued under the facility to equal $300 million, less the amounts outstanding on 2029 Series C Notes and MetLife 2030 Series D Notes. On April 2, 2020, we issued and sold to MetLife and other purchasers $125 million of our unsecured senior notes (the “MetLife 2030 Series D Notes”) pursuant to the MetLife Second Amendment. The entire outstanding principal balance of the MetLife 2030 Series D Notes is due and payable on April 2, 2030, and the MetLife 2030 Series D Notes bear interest at the rate of 2.50% per annum. We used the proceeds received from the MetLife 2030 Series D Notes for general corporate purposes. Prudential 2015 Amended Agreement On April 10, 2020, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Prudential 2015 Amended Agreement (the “Prudential Second Amendment”), in order to (i) increase the facility size to $425 million, (ii) extend the facility issuance period to April 10, 2023, (iii) make various implementing and administrative changes in order to facilitate a $75 million notes issuance on April 14, 2020, (iv) allow the amount available to be issued under the facility to equal $425 million less the amount of notes outstanding from time to time during the issuance period and (v) modify several defined terms, schedules and covenant baskets in the Prudential 2015 Amended Agreement to create additional operating flexibility, and in particular to align such provisions with similar modifications we made substantially concurrently in our other debt facilities. On April 14, 2020, we issued and sold to Prudential and other purchasers $75 million of our unsecured senior notes (the “Prudential 2030 Series D Notes”) pursuant to the Prudential Second Amendment. The entire outstanding balance of the Prudential 2030 Series D Notes is due and payable on April 14, 2030, and the Prudential 2030 Series D Notes bear interest at the rate of 2.50% per annum. We used the proceeds received from the Prudential 2030 Series D Notes for general corporate purposes. NY Life 2013 and 2014 Note Agreements On April 10, 2020, we amended the NY Life 2013 Note Agreement and the NY Life 2014 Note Agreement by entering into two Amendments to Note Purchase Agreement with New York Life Insurance Company and the other parties thereto, which modified several defined terms, schedules and covenant baskets in the NY Life 2013 Agreement and the NY Life 2014 Note Agreement to create additional operating flexibility, and in particular to align such provisions with similar modifications we made substantially concurrently in our other debt facilities. Senior Note Agreements The Senior Note Agreements contain affirmative, negative, and financial covenants customary for agreements of this type. The negative covenants include restrictions on liens, indebtedness of our subsidiaries, priority indebtedness, fundamental changes, investments, transactions with affiliates, certain restrictive agreements, and violations of laws and regulations. The sole financial covenant is a consolidated leverage ratio test that requires our ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition-related expense, and share-based compensation, as defined in the Senior Note Agreements, not to exceed 3.5-to-1. At September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the covenants of the Senior Note Agreements. Should we elect to prepay the Senior Notes, such aggregate prepayment will include the applicable make-whole amount(s), as defined within the applicable Senior Note Agreements. Additionally, in the event of a change in control of the Company or upon the disposition of certain assets of the Company the proceeds of which are not reinvested (as defined in the Senior Note Agreements), we may be required to prepay all or a portion of the Senior Notes. The obligations under the Senior Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the applicable Senior Note Agreement, each of which includes customary events of default including payment defaults, defaults in the performance of the affirmative, negative and financial covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency related defaults, defaults relating to judgments, certain events related to employee pension benefit plans under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the failure to pay specified indebtedness and cross-acceleration to specified indebtedness. Credit Facility On April 14, 2020, we, along with IDEXX Distribution, Inc., IDEXX Operations, Inc., OPTI Medical Systems, Inc., IDEXX Laboratories Canada Corporation, IDEXX Europe B.V., and IDEXX Holding B.V., our wholly-owned subsidiaries (whether directly or indirectly held) (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) relating to a three-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the principal amount of $1 billion, among the Borrowers, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch, as Toronto agent, and the other parties thereto. The Credit Agreement amends and restates that certain second amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of December 4, 2015, (which provided for a $850 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility) to extend the maturity to April 14, 2023 and to increase the aggregate commitments available for borrowing by the Borrowers to $1 billion with the option to increase the aggregate commitments by $250 million, for an aggregate maximum of up to $1.25 billion, subject to the Borrowers obtaining commitments from existing or new lenders and satisfying other conditions specified in the Credit Agreement. Although the Credit Facility does not mature until April 14, 2023, all individual borrowings under the terms of the Credit Facility with an interest rate based on a LIBOR, EURIBOR, or Canadian Dollar rate (as selected by the borrower) have a stated term between 30 and 180 days. At the end of each term, the obligation is either repaid or rolled over into a new borrowing, or replaced by a borrowing based on a published prime rate (where interest is then paid quarterly). The Credit Facility contains a subjective material adverse event notification clause, which allows the debt holders to call the loans under the Credit Facility if we fail to provide prompt written notice to the syndicate of such an event. Based on the stated term and the existence of the subjective material adverse event clause, this Credit Facility is reflected in the current liabilities section of our consolidated balance sheets.
