U.S.-Based. On March 9, 2015, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) revolving credit loans in the amount of $1.05 billion (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with an up to $20.0 million subfacility for swingline loans (the “Swingline Loan”), and an up to $10.0 million subfacility for letters of credit, and (ii) the Term Loan in the amount of $231.3 million. The Credit Agreement expires and is due and payable on May 17, 2018. The Credit Agreement amended and restated that certain credit agreement, dated as of May 17, 2013, as amended (the “Prior Agreement”).

On August 8, 2016, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "First Amendment"). The First Amendment adds two new levels to the applicable margin pricing grid used to calculate the interest rate that is applicable to base rate loans and LIBOR rate loans under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and increases the applicable margin at each pricing level for LIBOR rate loans by 25 basis points and for base rate loans by 25 basis points. Additionally, the First Amendment provides for the net cash proceeds from certain debt issuances by the Company in excess of $25.0 million to be applied, first, to prepay the term loans under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and, for the excess, if any, to prepay the revolving credit loans under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility with a corresponding reduction in the revolving credit commitment by the amount of such excess proceeds. The First Amendment also modifies the negative covenant on restricted payments set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility in such a manner as to prohibit the Company's ability to make open market repurchases of the Company's common stock. Furthermore, the First Amendment changes the consolidated total leverage ratio that the Company must comply with from 2.50:1.00 to 3.25:1.00. In connection with the First Amendment, the Company and certain of its material domestic subsidiaries entered into a Collateral Agreement in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, pursuant to which the Company and such subsidiaries granted liens on all or substantially all of their assets in order to secure the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other loan documents (the “Obligations”). Additionally, certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries entered into a Guaranty Agreement in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, pursuant to which such subsidiaries guarantee the payment and performance of the Obligations.

Amounts outstanding under the Swingline Loan under the Credit Agreement or upon any drawing under a letter of credit bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin. Interest based upon the base rate is payable quarterly in arrears. Interest based upon the LIBOR rate is payable on the last day of the applicable interest period.

As of August 8, 2016, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at (i) the base rate (defined as the highest of (a) the prime rate publicly announced by Wells Fargo, (3.75% at fiscal year end 2016), (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and (c) the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") (0.69% at fiscal year end 2016) for an interest period of one month plus 1.0%) plus the base rate applicable margin (which varies, based upon the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, from 0.50% if the consolidated total leverage ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00, to 1.75%, if the consolidated total leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00) or (ii) the LIBOR rate (defined as the quotient obtained by dividing (a) LIBOR by (b) 1.00 minus the Eurodollar reserve percentage) plus the LIBOR rate applicable margin (which varies, based upon the consolidated total leverage ratio, from 1.50%, if the consolidated total leverage ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00, to 2.75%, if the consolidated total leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00). Amounts outstanding under the Swingline Loan under the Credit Agreement or upon any drawing under a letter of credit bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin. Interest based upon the base rate is payable quarterly in arrears. Interest based upon the LIBOR rate is payable on the last day of the applicable interest period. Financial covenants governing the Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain (i) a consolidated total leverage ratio no greater than 3.25 to 1.00 and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio no less than 3.50 to 1.00.

The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused amounts of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement, payable quarterly in arrears, ranging from 0.20% to 0.45%, based on the consolidated total leverage ratio. In connection with any letter of credit, the Company is required to pay (i) a letter of credit commission, payable quarterly in arrears, in an amount equal to the daily amount available to be drawn under such letter of credit multiplied by the applicable margin with respect to revolving credit loans that are LIBOR rate loans, (ii) a fronting fee, payable quarterly in arrears, as set forth in the applicable letter of credit application or as otherwise separately agreed by the Company and the issuing lender and (iii) normal and customary costs and expenses incurred or charged by the issuing lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering the letter of credit.

Loans under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, in minimum principal amounts of (i) $2.0 million or increments of $1.0 million in excess thereof, with respect to a base rate loan under the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) $5.0 million or increments of $1.0 million in excess thereof, with respect to a LIBOR rate loan under the Revolving Credit Facility, (iii) $5.0 million or increments of $1.0 million in excess thereof, with respect to the Term Loan and (iv) $0.1 million or increments of $0.1 million in excess thereof, with respect to a Swingline Loan. Loans under the Credit Agreement must be repaid with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales or insurance and condemnation events. The Company may permanently reduce the revolving credit commitment at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, in a minimum aggregate principal amount of not less than $3.0 million or increments of $1.0 million in excess thereof.

The repayment obligation under the Credit Agreement can be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default, including the failure to pay principal or interest, a material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty, violation of covenants, cross-default, change in control, bankruptcy events, failure of a loan document provision, certain ERISA events and material judgments.
