Senior Credit Facility

 

On October 2, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as co-syndication agents, U.S. Bank National Association, First Hawaiian Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation, as co-documentation agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”).

 

Pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to the Company a new secured Senior Credit Facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) that permits aggregate borrowings of $450,000 consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $200,000 at any time outstanding, which includes a letter of credit facility that is limited to $100,000 at any time outstanding, and (ii) a term loan facility of $250,000. The Senior Credit Facility matures on October 2, 2017.

 

The Company may be required to make mandatory repayments of principal within 90 days of each fiscal year-end provided that certain excess cash is available, as defined within the Credit Agreement.  In the event the Company is required to make mandatory repayments of principal pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the aggregate borrowings available under the Senior Credit Facility are reduced by the amount of mandatory principal repayments made by the Company.  In March 2014, the Company made a mandatory principal repayment of $7,940, as provided under the Credit Agreement.  There were no mandatory repayments of principal required under the Credit Agreement in 2013.

 

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to comply with the financial and operational covenants, the occurrence of any cross default event, non-compliance with other loan documents, the occurrence of a change of control event, and bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Lenders holding a majority of the commitments and outstanding term loan under the Credit Agreement have the right, among others, to (i) terminate the commitments under the Credit Agreement, (ii) accelerate and require the Company to repay all the outstanding amounts owed under the Credit Agreement and (iii) require the Company to cash collateralize any outstanding letters of credit.

 

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, as of September 30, 2014, the Company is required to maintain a maximum consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio of not greater than 3.75:1.0.  There are certain future step downs as described in the Credit Agreement; decreasing to 3.5:1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after July 1, 2015 through and including June 30, 2016 and 3.25:1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after July 1, 2016.   In addition, as of September 30, 2014, the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.35:1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending after July 1, 2014.

 

The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2014.

 

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $78,364 of borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement, of which the Company could have borrowed $28,355 on September 30, 2014 and remained in compliance with the above described covenants as of such date.  The additional borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement is limited only as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end by the covenant restrictions described above. At September 30, 2014, the Company had $55,136 of letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, with aggregate borrowings against the Senior Credit Facility of $263,560 (excluding original discount on borrowings of $2,571).

 

Interest Rate Swap Transactions

 

On October 25, 2012, the Company entered into Interest Rate Swap transactions (collectively, the “Interest Rate Swaps”) with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. in an initial aggregate Notional Amount of $150.0 million (the “Notional Amount”). The Interest Rate Swaps have an effective date of October 31, 2012 and a termination date of September 30, 2017. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the interest rate on an amount of variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement, originally equal to the Notional Amount at 0.7525% per annum plus the applicable margin rate for LIBOR loans under the Credit Agreement, determined based upon the Company’s consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio. The Notional Amount is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization that coincides with quarterly prepayments of principal under the Credit Agreement. These Interest Rate Swaps are classified as cash flow hedges, and the Company assesses the effectiveness of the hedge on a monthly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings as an increase of interest expense. As of September 30, 2014, no ineffectiveness of the hedge has been recognized. See Note 12. Fair Value Measurement for the fair value of the interest rate swap as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than for cash flow hedging purposes.
