Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
New Revolving Credit Facility
On
Interest on the New Credit Facility will be calculated based on either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.000% to 1.750% per annum based on the Company's credit rating or (b) the greatest of (1) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%, (2) the Prime Rate in effect for such day, and (3) an adjusted LIBOR for a Eurodollar Loan with a one-month interest period that begins on such day plus 1%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin ranging from 0.100% to 0.750% per annum based on the Company's credit rating. The New Credit Facility also includes customary provisions to provide for replacement of LIBOR with an alternative benchmark rate when LIBOR ceases to be available.
Certain subsidiaries of the Company are guarantors of the Company's obligations under the New Credit Facility pursuant to a guaranty agreement executed in connection with the New Credit Facility.
The New Credit Facility contains financial and various other covenants that apply to the Company and its subsidiaries and are common in such agreements, including a maximum ratio of Consolidated Net Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the New Credit Facility) of 5.50 to 1.00, for any four-fiscal-quarter period. Other negative covenants include restrictions on the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' ability to incur debt, grant liens, make fundamental changes or engage in certain transactions with affiliates, or in the case of certain material subsidiaries, permit restrictions on dividends, distributions or making or prepayments of loans to the Company or any guarantor. The New Credit Facility also restricts the Company's ability to make certain restricted payments if an event of default (as defined in the New Credit Facility) has occurred and is continuing or would occur and be continuing.
The New Credit Facility contains customary events of default (in some cases, subject to grace periods), including, among others, (a) non-payment; (b) non-compliance with covenants; (c) payment default under, or acceleration events affecting, certain other indebtedness of the Company or certain of its subsidiaries; (d) bankruptcy or insolvency events involving the Company or certain of its subsidiaries and (e) a change in control of the Company.
If an event of default under the New Credit Facility exists and is continuing, the lenders may terminate their commitments and accelerate the maturity of the Company's outstanding obligations under the New Credit Facility.
Affiliates of certain of the lenders under the New Credit Facility have provided from time to time, and may provide in the future, investment and commercial banking and financial advisory services to the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received, and may receive in the future, customary fees and commissions.
