The
Company’s credit agreements originally provided for a
$1,200,000
term loan B credit facility (Term Loan) and currently include a
$300,000
uncommitted incremental term loan facility. In
November
2016,
the Company amended its Term Loan to extend the maturity date from
May
31,
2020
to
May
31,
2023.
The Term Loan is guaranteed by all of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, and is secured by associated collateral agreements which pledge a
first
priority lien on virtually all of the Company’s assets, including fixed assets and intangibles, other than all cash, trade accounts receivable, inventory, and other current assets and proceeds thereof, which are secured by a
second
priority lien. The Term Loan initially bore interest at rates based upon either a base rate plus an applicable margin of
1.75%
or adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of
2.75%,
subject to a LIBOR floor of
0.75%.
Beginning in the
second
quarter of
2014,
and measured each quarterly period thereafter, the applicable margin related to base rate loans is reduced to
1.50%
and the applicable margin related to LIBOR rate loans is reduced to
2.50%,
in each case, if the Borrower’s net debt leverage ratio, as defined in the Term Loan, falls below
3.00
to
1.00
for that measurement period. The Company’s net debt leverage ratio as of
March
31,
2017
was above
3.00
to
1.00.
As of
March
31,
2017,
the Company is in compliance with all covenants of the Term Loan. There are no financial maintenance covenants on the Term Loan.
 
The Company
’s credit agreements also provide for a
$250,000
senior secured ABL revolving credit facility (ABL Facility). The maturity date of the ABL Facility is
May
29,
2020.
Borrowings under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, and are secured by associated collateral agreements which pledge a
first
priority lien on all cash, trade accounts receivable, inventory, and other current assets and proceeds thereof, and a
second
priority lien on all other assets, including fixed assets and intangibles of the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries. ABL Facility borrowings bear interest at rates based upon either a base rate plus an applicable margin of
0.50%
or adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of
1.50%,
in each case, subject to adjustments based upon average availability under the ABL Facility.
 
In
May
2015,
the Company borrowed
$100,000
under the ABL Facility, the proceeds of which were used as a voluntary prepayment towards the Term Loan. As of
March
31,
2017,
there was
$100,000
outstanding under the ABL Facility, leaving
$138,097
of availability, net of outstanding letters of credit.
 
As
of
March
31,
2017
and
December
31,
2016,
short-term borrowings consisted of borrowings by our foreign subsidiaries on local lines of credit, which totaled
$28,078
and
$31,198,
respectively.
