Pursuant to the Amendment, the interest rate margin applicable to LIBOR-based term loans made under the Credit Facility (“Term Loans”) was reduced from 4.50% to 3.00%, and the interest rate floors used to determine the LIBOR and Base Rate reference rates for Term Loans was reduced from 1.50% to 1.25% for LIBOR-based Term Loans and from 2.50% to 2.25% for Base Rate-denominated Term Loans. In addition, the Amendment increased the lender commitments under the Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) available under the Credit Facility from $50 million to $75 million. The Amendment also modified certain restrictive covenants of the Credit Agreement, including those relating to repurchases of other debt securities, permitted acquisitions and payments on equity.

The Company paid $12.3 million in fees and costs related to the Amendment, of which $7.4 million in fees paid to lenders was recorded as additional discount on debt and $0.8 million of costs related to the increase in the Revolving Credit Facility was recorded as deferred financing costs.
