The Credit Agreement is given in amendment to, restatement of and substitution for the Prior Credit Agreement, and does not constitute a novation of any indebtedness or other obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement.
Credit Agreement
Under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to provide the Company with one or more Revolving Loans in a collective maximum principal amount of $700,000,000 (Loan Limit) throughout the term, which ends March 26, 2031 (Term). Previously, under the Prior Credit Agreement, BOA, TD Bank, N.A. as a Lender and Syndication Agent; and PNC Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association agreed to provide the Company with one or more revolving loans in a collective maximum principal amount of $550,000,000 throughout the term, which would have ended on December 22, 2026 if not replaced by the Credit Agreement.
Included within the Loan Limit are sublimits for a Letter of Credit facility in an amount not to exceed $60,000,000; and Swing Line Loans in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $40,000,000. The proceeds of the Credit Extensions may be used (i) to refinance certain existing indebtedness of the Company, including under the Prior Credit Agreement, (ii) for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and other lawful corporate purposes, (iii) for the issuance of Letters of Credit, and (iv) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement.
The Notes and Interest Rates
The Notes provide the Company, in the aggregate, the ability to borrow an amount up to the Loan Limit during the Term. The Company is not obligated to borrow any amount under the Loan Limit. Within the Loan Limit, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow at any time or from time to time while the Notes are in effect.
Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Revolving Loans and the Swing Line Loans accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Term SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loan for the Revolving Loans accrue interest at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Term SOFR Loans/ Term SOFR Daily Floating Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
The Base Rate for any day is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by BOA as its prime rate, and (c) the Term SOFR plus 1.0% subject to certain interest rate floors.
The Applicable Rate means the following percentages per annum, based upon the Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio as set forth in the most recent Compliance Certificate received by BOA as the Administrative Agent and as set forth in the Credit Agreement:
