This Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $200 million revolving credit facility and a five-year $230 million term loan facility (the Term Loan), both with a maturity date of November 12, 2020. |  |  |

Credit Agreement capacity |  |  | 430,000 |
Possible increase to total commitments under Credit Agreement | $ 150,000 |  |  |
Description of variable interest rate basis | Interest on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrues, at our option, at (a) the adjusted London interbank offered rate as administered by the ICE Benchmark Administration (LIBO) plus 1.25% to 2.25%, or (b) the alternative base rate plus 0.25% to 1.25%, and is payable quarterly in arrears. The alternative base rate is equal to the highest of (i) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the adjusted LIBO rate plus 1.00%. The margin on the interest rates fluctuates based upon the ratio of Benchmark’s debt to its consolidated EBITDA (the Total Leverage Ratio). |  |  |
Credit Agreement collateral | The Credit Agreement is generally secured by a pledge of (a) all the capital stock of Benchmark’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of Benchmark’s foreign subsidiaries, (b) any indebtedness owed to Benchmark and its subsidiaries and (c) all or substantially all other personal property of Benchmark and its domestic subsidiaries (including, accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets of Benchmark and its domestic subsidiaries), in each case, subject to customary exceptions and limitations. |  |  |

Credit Agreement covenant terms | The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants as to debt leverage and interest coverage, and certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on our ability to incur additional debt and liens, pay dividends, repurchase shares, sell assets and merge or consolidate with other persons. Amounts due under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon specified events of default, including a failure to pay amounts due, breach of a covenant, material inaccuracy of a representation, or occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency, subject, in some cases, to cure periods. |  |  |
