The fair value of the Company's long-term debt was $1,532.4 million at June 28, 2014 and $933.8 million at December 28, 2013. The fair value of long-term debt is based upon quoted market prices in inactive markets or on available rates for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 2). Term Loans On December 19, 2013, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the loans thereunder, the "Term Loans") with a maturity date upon the earlier of (i) December 19, 2019 and (ii) the 91st day prior to the scheduled maturity of the Company's 7.75% Senior Secured Notes; provided that on such 91st day, such 7.75% Senior Secured Notes has an outstanding aggregate principal amount in excess of $150.0 million. The Term Loans provide for a commitment by the lenders to make secured term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $295.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to partially repay amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Bridge Credit Agreement and the Senior Unsecured Bridge Credit Agreement. Borrowings bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, (i) a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus ½ of 1%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Citicorp North America, Inc. as its "prime rate" and (c) the LIBOR rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.0% (provided that in no event shall such base rate with respect to the Term Loans be less than 2.0% per annum), in each case plus an applicable margin of 3.25% or (ii) a LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period (provided that in no event shall such LIBOR rate with respect to the Term Loans be less than 1.0% per annum) plus an applicable margin of 4.25%. The applicable margin for the Term Loans is subject to a 25 basis point step-down upon the achievement of certain a senior secured net leverage ratio. The Company is required to repay installments on the Term Loans in quarterly installments in aggregate amounts equal to 1.0% per annum of their funded total principal amount, with the remaining amount payable on the maturity date. On June 10, 2014, the Company entered into an incremental term loan amendment (the "Incremental Amendment") to the existing Senior Secured Credit Agreement in which the Company obtained $415.0 million of commitments for incremental term loans from the existing lenders. Pursuant to the Incremental Amendment, the Company borrowed $310.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to fund a portion of the consideration paid for the Providência Acquisition. The remaining commitments are available for borrowing until December 31, 2014, the proceeds of which will be used to repay existing indebtedness. Terms of the Incremental Amendment are substantially identical to the terms of the Term Loans. The Term Loans are secured (i) together with the Tranche 2 loans, on a first-priority lien basis by substantially all of the assets of the Company, and any existing and future subsidiary guarantors (other than collateral securing the ABL Facility on a first-priority basis), including all of the capital stock of the Company and each restricted subsidiary (which, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, will be limited to 65% of the capital stock of each first-tier foreign subsidiary) and (ii) on a second-priority basis by the collateral securing the ABL Facility, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans at any time without premium or penalty, other than a prepayment on voluntary prepayments of Term Loans in connection with a repricing transaction on or prior to the date that is six months after the closing date of the Incremental Amendment and customary "breakage" costs with respect to LIBOR loans. The agreement governing the Term Loans, among other restrictions, limit the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) repurchase stock; (v) incur certain liens; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; (vii) merge or consolidate; (viii) enter into agreements that restrict the ability of subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments; (ix) designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and (x) transfer or sell assets. In addition, the Term Loans contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default. Under the credit agreement governing the Term Loans, the Company's ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments, refinancing certain indebtedness, paying dividends and entering into certain merger transactions is governed, in part, by the Company's ability to satisfy tests based on Adjusted EBITDA (defined as Consolidated EBITDA in the credit agreement governing the Terms Loans). Senior Secured Notes In connection with the Merger, the Company issued $560.0 million of 7.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 on January 28, 2011. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis, by each of AVINTIV Specialty Materials Inc's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the notes is paid semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes limits, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) incur certain liens; (v) enter into transactions with affiliates; (vi) merge or consolidate; (vii) enter into agreements that restrict the ability of subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments; (viii) designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and (ix) transfer or sell assets. It does not limit the activities of the parent or the amount of additional indebtedness that Parent or its parent entities may incur. In addition, it also provides for specified events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the Senior Secured Notes to become or to be declared due and payable.

Senior Unsecured Notes In connection with the Providência Acquisition, the Company issued $210.0 million of 6.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019 on June 11, 2014. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by each of AVINTIV Specialty Materials Inc's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the notes is paid semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes limits, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) incur certain liens; (v) enter into transactions with affiliates; (vi) merge or consolidate; (vii) enter into agreements that restrict the ability of subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments; (viii) designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and (iv) transfer or sell assets.

Under the indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes, the Company's ability to engage in certain activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments, refinancing certain indebtedness, paying dividends and entering into certain merger transactions is governed, in part, by the Company's ability to satisfy tests based on Adjusted EBITDA (defined as EBITDA in the indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes). ABL Facility On January 28, 2011, the Company entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility which was amended and restated on October 5, 2012 (the "ABL Facility") to provide for borrowings not to exceed $50.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability. The ABL Facility provides borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and borrowings on a same-day basis and is comprised of (i) a revolving tranche of up to $42.5 million (“Tranche 1”) and (ii) a first-in, last out revolving tranche of up to $7.5 million (“Tranche 2”). Provided that no default or event of default was then existing or would arise therefrom, the Company had the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $20.0 million. The facility matures on October 5, 2017. On November 26, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility which increased the Tranche 1 revolving credit commitments by $30.0 million (for a total aggregate revolving credit commitment of $80.0 million) as well as made certain other changes to the agreement. In addition, the Company increased the amount by which the Company can request that the ABL Facility be increased at the Company's option to an amount not to exceed $75.0 million. The effectiveness of the amendment was subject to the satisfaction of certain specified closing conditions by no later than January 31, 2014, all of which were satisfied prior to such date. Based on current average excess availability, the borrowings under the ABL Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either (A) British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (“LIBOR”) (adjusted for statutory reserve requirements) plus a margin of (i) 2.00% in the case of Tranche 1 or (ii) 4.00% in the case of Tranche 2; or (B) the higher of (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A. as its "prime rate" and (b) the federal funds effective rate plus ½ of 1.0% (“ABR”) plus a margin of (x) 1.00% in the case of Tranche 1 or (y) 3.00% in the case of the Tranche 2. As of June 28, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility. The borrowing base availability was $57.9 million, however, outstanding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $13.2 million left $44.7 million available for additional borrowings. The aforementioned letters of credit were primarily provided to certain administrative service providers and financial institutions. None of these letters of credit had been drawn on as of June 28, 2014. The ABL Facility contains certain restrictions which limit the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional debt; (ii) pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) repurchase stock; (v) incur certain liens; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; (vii) merge or consolidate or other fundamental changes; (viii) enter into agreements that restrict the ability of subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments; (ix) designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; (x) transfer or sell assets and (xi) prepay junior financing or other restricted debt. In addition, it contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the ABL Facility would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the ABL Facility and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. Under the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility, the Company's ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments, refinancing certain indebtedness, paying dividends and entering into certain merger transactions is governed, in part by, the Company's ability to satisfy tests based on Adjusted EBITDA (defined as Consolidated EBITDA in the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility). Nacion Facility In January 2007, the Company's subsidiary in Argentina entered into an arrangement with banking institutions in Argentina in order to finance the installation of a new spunmelt line at its facility near Buenos Aires, Argentina. The maximum borrowings available under the facility, excluding any interest added to principal, were 33.5 million Argentine pesos with respect to an Argentine peso-denominated loan and $26.5 million with respect to a U.S. dollar-denominated loan. The loans are secured by pledges covering (i) the subsidiary's existing equipment lines; (ii) the outstanding stock of the subsidiary; and (iii) the new machinery and equipment being purchased, as well as a trust assignment agreement related to a portion of receivables due from certain major customers of the subsidiary. The interest rate applicable to borrowings under these term loans is based on LIBOR plus 290 basis points for the U.S. dollar-denominated loan and Buenos Aires Interbanking Offered Rate plus 475 basis points for the Argentine peso-denominated loan. Principal and interest payments began in July 2008 with the loans maturing as follows: annual amounts of $3.5 million beginning in 2011 and continuing through 2015, and the remaining $1.7 million in 2016. In connection with the Merger, the Company repaid and terminated the Argentine peso-denominated loan. In addition, the U.S. denominated loan was adjusted to reflect its fair value as of the date of the Merger. As a result, the Company recorded a contra-liability in Long-term debt and will amortize the balance over the remaining life of the facility. At June 28, 2014, the face amount of the outstanding indebtedness under the U.S. dollar-denominated loan was $6.9 million, with a carrying amount of $6.7 million and a weighted average interest rate of 3.13%.

Borrowings will bear interest at 15.25%. As of June 28, 2014, the outstanding balance under the facility was $2.5 million. The remainder of the upgrade is expected to be financed by existing cash balances and cash generated from operations.

The interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Hygiene Facility is based on three-month LIBOR plus an amount to be determined at the time of funding based on the lender's internal head office lending rate (520 basis points at the time the credit agreement was executed). The maximum borrowings available under the facility, excluding any interest added to principal, were $25.0 million. At December 28, 2013, the outstanding balance under the Hygiene Facility was $24.9 million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.46%.
