11. CREDIT AGREEMENT

On October 31, 2014, the Company; its wholly-owned subsidiary, CEC Educational Services, LLC (“CEC-ES”); and the subsidiary guarantors thereunder entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 30, 2013 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO Harris”), in its capacities as the initial lender and letter of credit issuer thereunder and the administrative agent for the lenders which from time to time may be parties to the Credit Agreement, to among other things, increase the revolving credit facility to $120.0 million. The revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on June 30, 2016. The Credit Agreement requires that fees and interest are payable monthly and quarterly in arrears, respectively, and principal is payable at maturity. Any borrowings bear interest at fluctuating interest rates based on either the base rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus the applicable rate based on the type of loan.

We may prepay amounts outstanding, or terminate or reduce the commitments, under the Credit Agreement upon three or five business days’ prior notice, respectively, in each case without premium or penalty. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants, including a requirement to maintain a three month average balance of cash, cash equivalents and permitted investments in our domestic accounts of at least $190.0 million at all times, subject to adjustment for certain cash payments made by the Company in connection with buyouts of leases for campus locations and other facilities. The loans and letter of credit obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by 100% cash collateral. The agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and rights and remedies upon the occurrence of any event of default, including rights to accelerate the loans, terminate the commitments and rights to realize upon the collateral securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement.

We have $10.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2014, pursuant to the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement. The full amount borrowed as of December 31, 2014 is classified as short-term borrowings on our consolidated balance sheet.
