Credit Agreement On September 7, 2022 (the “Ninth Amendment Effective Date”), Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (“Booz Allen Hamilton”), Booz Allen Hamilton Investor Corporation (“Investor”), and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Booz Allen Hamilton, entered into the Ninth Amendment (the “Ninth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of July 31, 2012, as amended (the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with certain institutional lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Issuing Lender, Refinancing Revolver Lender, New Refinancing Tranche A Term Lender and 2022 Supplemental Tranche A Lender. As of December 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement provided Booz Allen Hamilton with a $1,639.7 million Term Loan A (“New Term Loan A”) and a $1,000.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with a sub-limit for letters of credit of $200.0 million (collectively, the “Secured Credit Facility”). Booz Allen Hamilton’s obligations and the guarantors’ guarantees under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets (including capital stock of subsidiaries) of Booz Allen Hamilton, Investor and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement and related documentation; such security is expected to be released in connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, (i) $1,000.0 million of revolving commitments outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement were refinanced by a new tranche of revolving commitments (the “New Revolving Commitments” and the revolving credit loans made thereunder, the “New Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate amount of $1,000.0 million, with a sublimit for letters of credit of $200.0 million and (ii) approximately $1,225.3 million of Term Loan A loans (the “Existing Term Loan A Loans”) and $379.3 million of Term Loan B loans (the “Existing Term Loan B Loans”) outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement were refinanced by a new tranche of Term Loan A loans in an aggregate amount, along with additional new tranche A term loans advanced by certain lenders, totaling $1,650.0 million. The majority of the proceeds of the New Term Loan A were used to prepay in full all of the Existing Term Loan A Loans and Existing Term Loan B Loans. The Ninth Amendment extended the maturity of the New Term Loan A and the New Revolving Commitments to September 7, 2027. Voluntary prepayments of the New Term Loan A and the New Revolving Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty. The New Term Loan A will amortize in consecutive quarterly installments in an amount equal to (i) on the last business day of each full fiscal quarter that begins after the Ninth Amendment Effective Date but on or before the two year anniversary of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, 0.625% of the stated principal amount of the New Term Loan A and (ii) on the last business day of each full fiscal quarter that begins after the two year anniversary of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date but before the five year anniversary of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, 1.25% of the stated principal amount of the New Term Loan A. The remaining balance of the New Term Loan A will be payable upon maturity. The rate at which the New Term Loan A and the New Revolving Loans bear interest will be based either on Term SOFR (subject to a 0.10% adjustment and a floor of zero) for the applicable interest period or a base rate (equal to the highest of (i) the administrative agent’s prime corporate rate, (ii) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) three-month Term SOFR (subject to a 0.10% adjustment and a floor of zero) plus 1.00%), in each case plus an applicable margin, payable at the end of the applicable interest period and in any event at least quarterly. The applicable margin for the New Term Loan A and the New Revolving Loans ranges from 1.00% to 2.00% for Term SOFR loans and zero to 1.00% for base rate loans, in each case based on the lower of (i) the applicable rate per annum determined pursuant to a consolidated total net leverage ratio grid and (ii) the applicable rate per annum determined pursuant to a ratings grid. Unused New Revolving Commitments are subject to a quarterly fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.35% based on the lower of (i) the applicable fee rate per annum determined pursuant to a consolidated total net leverage ratio grid and (ii) the applicable fee rate per annum determined pursuant to a ratings grid. Booz Allen Hamilton has also agreed to pay customary letter of credit and agency fees. In connection with the Ninth Amendment, the Company accelerated the amortization of ratable portions of the Debt Issuance Costs, or DIC, and Original Issue Discount, or OID associated with the prior senior secured loan facilities of $3.4 million.These expenses are reflected in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, the Company expensed third party debt issuance costs of $6.9 million that did not qualify for deferral, which are reflected in general and administrative costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, Booz Allen Hamilton is required to meet a financial covenant at each quarter end based on a consolidated net total leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, Booz Allen Hamilton was in compliance with all financial covenants associated with its debt and debt-like instruments. In connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P, activities restricted by certain negative covenants are expected to be permitted subject to pro forma compliance with the financial covenants and no events of default having occurred and continuing. The following table summarizes interest payments made on the Company’s term loans:
| Three Months Ended December 31, |  | Nine Months Ended December 31,
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
New Term Loan A | $ | 24,845 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 24,845 |  |  | $ | — |

Total | $ | 24,845 |  |  | $ | 6,528 |  |  | $ | 44,219 |  |  | $ | 20,598 |
Borrowings under the New Term Loan A, and if used, the Revolving Credit Facility, incur interest at a variable rate. As of December 31, 2022, Booz Allen Hamilton had interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $550.0 million. These instruments hedge the variability of cash outflows for interest payments on the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility. The Company's objectives in using cash flow hedges are to reduce volatility due to interest rate movements and to add stability to interest expense (See Note 9, “Derivatives,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements). Senior Notes For information on the terms, conditions, and restrictions of the Company's 4.000% Senior Notes due July 1, 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029”) and 3.875% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Notes due 2028”, and, together with the Senior Notes due 2029, the “Senior Notes”), see Note 10, “Debt,” of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the fiscal 2022 Form 10-K. In connection with Booz Allen Hamilton obtaining investment grade ratings from both Moody's and S&P, certain negative covenants in the indentures governing the Senior Notes were suspended, and guarantees of the Senior Notes were released.
