Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
On August 12, 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement and a line of credit note (collectively, Credit Agreement) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $150 million unsecured revolving line of credit, under which the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow loans from time to time prior to its scheduled maturity date of August 12, 2017 (Maturity Date). Proceeds of loans made under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The Company may prepay the loans under the Credit Agreement in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs. The Company’s existing and future material domestic subsidiaries are required to guarantee its obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either a daily one month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate or a LIBOR rate, each as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and in each case plus a spread of 0.70% to 1.45% (depending on a ratio of funded debt to Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement). Principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable on the Maturity Date. The default rate under the Credit Agreement is an additional 4% per annum over the otherwise applicable rate.
The Company is also obligated to pay a quarterly fee, payable in arrears, based on the daily unused amount of the line of credit at a rate of 0.08% to 0.18%, with such rate determined based on the ratio described above.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including the required compliance with financial covenants described below, as well as customary events of default. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to EBITDA equal to or less than 3.00 to 1.00, and a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to interest expense greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00, in each case determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
