5.              Credit Agreement

 

In connection with our acquisition of HDI, we entered into a five year, revolving and term secured credit agreement, which we refer to as the 2011 Credit Agreement, with certain financial institutions and Citibank, N.A. as Administrative Agent. In May 2013, we amended and restated the 2011 Credit Agreement and entered into a $500 million five-year, amended and restated revolving credit agreement, which we refer to as the 2013 Credit Agreement.

 

The 2013 Credit Agreement provides for an initial $500 million revolving credit facility, and, under specified circumstances, the revolving credit facility can be increased or one or more incremental term loan facilities can be added, provided that the incremental credit facilities do not exceed in the aggregate the sum of (a) $75 million plus (b) an additional amount not less than $25 million, so long as our total secured leverage ratio, calculated giving pro forma effect to the requested incremental borrowing and other customary and appropriate pro forma adjustment events, including any permitted acquisitions, is no greater than 2.5:1.0.

 

The 2013 Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default.  The 2013 Credit Agreement requires us to comply, on a quarterly basis, with certain principal financial covenants, including  a maximum consolidated leverage ratio reducing from 3.50:1.00 to 3.25:1.00 over the next five years and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00:1.00.

 

The interest rates applicable to the revolving credit facility are, at our option, either (a) the LIBOR  multiplied by the statutory reserve rate plus an interest margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% based on our  consolidated leverage ratio, or (b) a base rate (which is equal to the greatest of (a) Citibank’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) the one-month LIBOR  plus 1.00% plus an interest margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.25% based on our  consolidated leverage ratio).  We will pay an unused commitment fee on the revolving credit facility during the term of the 2013 Credit Agreement ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum based on our consolidated leverage ratio.

 

Our obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default, which includes customary events of default including, without limitation, payment defaults, failures to perform affirmative covenants, failure to refrain from actions or omissions prohibited by negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross-defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency related defaults, defaults relating to judgments, defaults due to certain ERISA related events and a change of control default.  As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all the terms of the 2013 Credit Agreement.

 

Borrowings under the 2013 Credit Agreement were used to refinance  the outstanding principal and unpaid interest of $323.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, under the term loan facility of the 2011 Credit Agreement. We paid lender fees of $2.9 million in connection with amending and restating the Credit Agreement.

 

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for debt modification and extinguishment, we expensed $0.5 million of debt issuance costs and loan origination fees relating to the portion of the term loan that was extinguished by 2013 Credit Agreement. This expense was reported within “Interest expense” in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $2.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of interest expense.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $5.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively, of interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $0.2 million of commitment fees on the unused revolving credit facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we incurred $0.3 million of commitment fees.

 

The loan origination fees of $2.9 million in connection with the 2013 Credit Agreement were deferred and are being amortized over the remaining term of the 2013 Credit Agreement using the straight line method.  At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the unamortized balance of deferred origination fees and debt issue costs were $9.8 million and $9.2 million, respectively.  For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we amortized $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of interest expense related to our deferred origination fees and debt issue costs.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we amortized $2.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of interest expense related to our deferred origination fees and debt issue costs.

 

As part of our contractual agreement with a client, we have an outstanding irrevocable letter of credit or Letter of Credit for $4.6 million, which we established against our existing revolving credit facility.
