Credit Facility

On February 11, 2016, we entered into a First Amendment to our June 3, 2013 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Amended and Restated Security Agreement (collectively the “Credit Agreement”) for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility that matures on February 11, 2021 with an initial maximum aggregate commitment of $900.0 million, and an accordion feature of up to $1.2 billion in the aggregate, if certain conditions are satisfied. At our discretion, direct borrowing options under the Credit Agreement include Eurodollar loans, overnight base rate loans, and alternate currency loans. The Credit Agreement also provides for a foreign subsidiary borrowing capacity sub-limit for loans or letters of credit of up to 50% of the total commitment amount, in both U.S. dollars and certain foreign currencies.

Base rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the greatest of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime rate, (ii) one half of 1% in excess of the federal funds effective rate, and (iii) 1.25% in excess of the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”); plus in each case a margin of 0% to 0.75 based on our net leverage ratio. Eurodollar loans bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.0% to 1.75% based on our net leverage ratio. Alternate currency loans bear interest at rates applicable to their respective currencies.

The applicable margins from February 11, 2016 until a compliance certificate is provided by us in connection with the delivery to the lenders of our quarterly financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, are 0.000% per annum for base rate loans and 1.000% per annum for Eurodollar loans or alternate currency loans.

Letter of credit fees are one eighth of 1% of the stated amount of the letter of credit on the date of issuance, renewal or amendment, plus an annual fee equal to the borrowing margin for Eurodollar loans. 

The Credit Facility commitment fees are payable to the lenders in an amount equal to the unused portion of the Credit Facility multiplied by 0.125% per annum from February 11, 2016 until a compliance certificate is provided by us in connection with the delivery to the lenders of our quarterly financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, and thereafter at a rate of 0.250% to 0.125% based on our net leverage ratio.

Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries and is collateralized by (subject to permitted liens) the U.S. accounts receivable and cash of our Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. The indebtedness may also be collateralized by tangible assets of our Company and its domestic subsidiaries, if borrowings by foreign subsidiaries exceed $100.0 million and the total net leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00. We also pledged 65% of the voting stock and all of the non-voting stock, if any, of certain of our material foreign subsidiaries.

In addition, the Company is obligated to maintain a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1.00, and a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 2.50 to 1.00.

The Company primarily utilizes its Credit Agreement to fund working capital, general operations, stock repurchases, dividends, and other strategic activities, such as the acquisitions described in Note 2. As of December 31, 2015, and 2014, the Company had borrowings of $100.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, under its Credit Agreement, and its average daily utilization was $319.6 million and $285.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. After consideration for issued letters of credit under the Credit Agreement, totaling $3.4 million, based on the current level of availability based on the covenant calculations the Company’s remaining borrowing capacity was approximately $415 million as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under its Credit Agreement.

From time-to-time, the Company has unsecured, uncommitted lines of credit to support working capital for a few foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, no foreign loans were outstanding.
