Amendment and Restatement of Credit Facility

On May 6, 2013, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “credit agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”). The credit agreement has a scheduled maturity date of May 4, 2018.

Pursuant to the credit agreement, the Lenders have committed to provide advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000 at any one time outstanding, and the Company has the option to request increases in the aggregate commitments provided that the aggregate commitments never exceed $1,500,000. For any such increase, the Company may ask one or more Lenders to increase their existing commitments and/or invite additional eligible lenders to become Lenders under the credit agreement. As part of the aggregate commitments under the facility, the credit agreement provides for letters of credit to be issued at the request of the Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate commitments and for swing line loans to be issued at the request of the Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed a $25,000 sublimit.

Interest accrues on advances, at the Company’s option, at a LIBOR rate or a base rate plus an applicable margin for each interest period. The issuing fees for all letters of credit are also based on an applicable margin. The applicable margin used in connection with interest rates and fees is based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The applicable margin for LIBOR rate loans and letter of credit fees ranges from 1.125% to 1.750% and the applicable margin for base rate loans and swing line loans ranges from 0.125% to 0.750%. The Company will also pay a fee based on its consolidated leverage ratio on the actual daily unused amount of the aggregate commitments. The borrowings under the credit agreement are not collateralized. Proceeds of the borrowings under the credit agreement were used to refinance the previous credit facility, under which $680,000 was outstanding and which had a maturity of July 2016, and future borrowings will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions.

The credit agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, including a change of control event of default and limitations on incurrence of indebtedness and liens, new lines of business, mergers, transactions with affiliates and restrictive agreements. The credit agreement also includes covenants limiting, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (a) the ratio of the consolidated funded debt as of such date to the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement), measured for the preceding 12 months, to not more than 3.50 to 1.00 and (b) the ratio of Consolidated EBIT (as defined in the credit agreement) to consolidated interest expense, in each case, measured for the preceding 12 months, to not less than 2.75 to 1.00. During the continuance of an event of default, the Lenders may take a number of actions, including declaring the entire amount then outstanding under the credit agreement due and payable.

Amendment to Term Loan Agreement

On May 6, 2013, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to its term loan facility, which changed the range of the additional interest margin applicable to borrowings under the term loan facility to 1.375% to 2.375%, from 1.375% to 2.500%, with respect to LIBOR borrowings and to 0.375% to 1.375%, from 0.375% to 1.500%, with respect to base rate borrowings. All other original terms remain applicable.
