Credit Facilities
RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility
As of December 31, 2011, the outstanding balance under the amended and restated RHDI credit facility (“RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility”) totaled $947.2 million. The RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires quarterly principal and interest payments at our option at either:
The highest (subject to a floor of 4.00%) of (i) the Prime Rate (as defined in the RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility), (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility) plus 0.50%, and (iii) one month LIBOR plus 1.00% in each case, plus an interest rate margin for base rate loans. The interest rate margin for base rate loans is initially 5.25% per annum, and such interest rate margin adjusts pursuant to a pricing grid that provides for a margin equal to 5.25% per annum if RHDI’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00, and equal to 5.00% per annum if RHDI’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than 4.25 to 1.00; or
The higher of (i) LIBOR rate and (ii) 3.00%, in each case, plus an interest rate margin for Eurodollar loans. The interest rate margin for Eurodollar loans is initially 6.25% per annum, and such interest rate margin adjusts pursuant to a pricing grid that provides for a margin equal to 6.25% per annum if RHDI’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00, and equal to 6.00% per annum if RHDI’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than 4.25 to 1.00. RHDI may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR borrowings.

The RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility matures on October 24, 2014. The weighted average interest rate of outstanding debt under the RHDI Amended and Restated Credit Facility was 9.0% at December 31, 2011.

Dex Media East Amended and Restated Credit Facility
As of December 31, 2011, the outstanding balance under the amended and restated Dex Media East credit facility (“Dex Media East Amended and Restated Credit Facility”) totaled $651.6 million.

The interest rate margin for base rate loans is initially 1.50% per annum, and such interest rate margin adjusts pursuant to a pricing grid that provides for a margin equal to 1.50% per annum if DME Inc.’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00, equal to 1.25% per annum if DME Inc.’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 but less than 2.75 to 1.00 and equal to 1.00% per annum if DME Inc.’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00; or
The LIBOR rate plus an interest rate margin for Eurodollar loans. The interest rate margin for Eurodollar loans is initially 2.50% per annum, and such interest rate margin adjusts pursuant to a pricing grid that provides for a margin equal to 2.50% per annum if DME Inc.’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00, equal to 2.25% per annum if DME Inc.’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 but less than 2.75 to 1.00 and equal to 2.00% per annum if DME Inc.’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00.

The Dex Media West Amended and Restated Credit Facility matures on October 24, 2014. The weighted average interest rate of outstanding debt under the Dex Media West Amended and Restated Credit Facility was 7.2% at December 31, 2011.

Each of the amended and restated credit facilities described above includes an uncommitted revolving credit facility available for borrowings up to $40.0 million. The availability of such uncommitted revolving credit facility is subject to certain conditions including the prepayment of the term loans under each of the amended and restated credit facilities in an amount equal to such revolving credit facility.

The amended and restated credit facilities contain provisions for prepayment from net proceeds of asset dispositions, equity issuances and debt issuances subject to certain exceptions, from a ratable portion of the net proceeds received by the Company from asset dispositions by the Company, subject to certain exceptions, and from a portion of excess cash flow.

Each of the amended and restated credit facilities described above contain certain covenants that, subject to exceptions, limit or restrict each borrower and its subsidiaries’ incurrence of liens, investments (including acquisitions), sales of assets, indebtedness, payment of dividends, distributions and payments of certain indebtedness, sale and leaseback transactions, swap transactions, affiliate transactions, capital expenditures and mergers, liquidations and consolidations. Each amended and restated credit facility also contains certain covenants that, subject to exceptions, limit or restrict each borrower’s incurrence of liens, indebtedness, ownership of assets, sales of assets, payment of dividends or distributions or modifications of the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes. Each borrower is required to maintain compliance with a consolidated leverage ratio covenant. RHDI and DMW Inc. are also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated interest coverage ratio covenant. DMW Inc. is also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio covenant. The Dex Media West Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes an option for additional covenant relief under the senior secured leverage covenant through the fourth quarter of 2011, subject to increased amortization of the loans through the first quarter of 2012, an increase in the excess cash flow sweep for 2011 and payment of a 25 basis point fee ratably to the lenders under the Dex Media West Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. On March 31, 2010, the Company exercised the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio Election, as defined in the Dex Media West Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company incurred a fee of $2.1 million to exercise this option.

The obligations under each of the amended and restated credit facilities are guaranteed by our subsidiaries and are secured by a lien on substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible assets, including a pledge of the stock of their respective subsidiaries, as well as a mortgage on certain real property, if any.

Pursuant to a shared guaranty and collateral agreement and subject to an intercreditor agreement among the administrative agents under each of the amended and restated credit facilities, the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, certain subsidiaries of the Company, guaranty the obligations under each of the amended and restated credit facilities and the obligations are secured by a lien on substantially all of such guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets (other than the assets of the Company’s subsidiary, Dex One Digital), including a pledge of the stock of their respective subsidiaries, as well as a mortgage on certain real property, if any.

Notes
Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes
On the Effective Date, we issued the $300.0 million Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes in exchange for the Dex Media West 8.5% Senior Notes due 2010 and 5.875% Senior Notes due 2011. Interest on the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually on March 31st and September 30th of each year, commencing on March 31, 2010 through January 29, 2017. The Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes accrue interest at an annual rate of 12% for cash interest payments and 14% if the Company elects paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest payments. The Company may elect, no later than two business days prior to the beginning of any such semi-annual interest period, whether to make each interest payment on the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes (i) entirely in cash or (ii) 50% in cash and 50% in PIK interest, which is capitalized as incremental or additional senior subordinated notes. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company made interest payments entirely in cash. In September 2011, the Company elected to pay interest amounts on the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes 50% in cash and 50% in PIK interest in lieu of making interest payments entirely in cash for the semi-annual interest period ending March 31, 2012, as permitted by the indenture governing the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes. For subsequent semi-annual interest periods, the Company may make this election within the prescribed timeframe noted above. In the absence of such an election for any subsequent semi-annual interest period, interest on the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes will be payable in the form of the interest payment for the semi-annual interest period immediately preceding such subsequent semi-annual interest period. The interest rate on the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes may be subject to adjustment in the event the Company incurs certain specified debt with a higher effective yield to maturity than the yield to maturity of the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes. The Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company, effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future secured debt, including Dex One’s guarantee of borrowings under each of the amended and restated credit facilities and are structurally subordinated to any existing or future liabilities (including trade payables) of our direct and indirect subsidiaries.

The indenture governing the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes contains certain covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, among other things, limit or restrict the Company’s (and, in certain cases, the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’) incurrence of indebtedness, making of certain restricted payments, incurrence of liens, entry into transactions with affiliates, conduct of its business and the merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its property. The indenture governing the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes also requires the Company to offer to repurchase the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes at par after certain changes of control involving the Company or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company. Holders of the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes also may cause the Company to repurchase the Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes at a price of 101% of the principal amount upon the incurrence by the Company of certain acquisition indebtedness.

The Dex One Senior Subordinated Notes with a remaining face value of $300.0 million at December 31, 2011 are redeemable at our option at the following prices (as a percentage of face value):

Impact of Fresh Start Accounting
In conjunction with our adoption of fresh start accounting, an adjustment was established to record our outstanding debt at fair value on the Fresh Start Reporting Date. The Company was required to record our amended and restated credit facilities at a discount as a result of their fair value on the Fresh Start Reporting Date. Therefore, the carrying amount of these debt obligations is lower than the principal amount due at maturity. A total discount of $120.2 million was recorded upon adoption of fresh start accounting associated with our amended and restated credit facilities, of which $63.2 million remains unamortized at December 31, 2011, as shown in the following table.
