10.	NOTES PAYABLE TO BANKS

The Company has a $350 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America Securities, LLC, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc, and Regions Capital Markets as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, and a syndicate of other lenders. The facility includes a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company’s 100% owned domestic subsidiaries whose assets equal substantially all of the consolidated assets of RPC and its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries of the Company that are not guarantors are considered minor.

The facility has a general term of five years with a maturity date of January 17, 2019 and provides for an unsecured line of credit of up to $350 million, which includes a $50 million letter of credit subfacility, and a $35 million swingline subfacility.

The Company incurred loan origination fees and other debt related costs associated with the facility in the aggregate of approximately $3.0 million. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the five year loan, and the net amount of $1.1 million at March 31, 2015 is classified as non-current other assets.

Revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at one of the following two rates, at the Company’s election:

●

the Base Rate, which is the highest of Bank of America’s “prime rate” for the day of the borrowing, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, and a rate per annum equal to the one (1) month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%; in each case plus a margin that ranges from 0.125% to 1.125% based on a quarterly debt covenant calculation; or

●

with respect to any Eurodollar borrowings, Adjusted LIBOR (which equals LIBOR as increased to account for the maximum reserve percentages established by the U.S. Federal Reserve) plus a margin ranging from 1.125% to 2.125%, based upon a quarterly debt covenant calculation.

In addition, the Company pays an annual fee ranging from 0.225% to 0.325%, based on a quarterly debt covenant calculation, of the unused portion of the credit facility.

The facility contains customary terms and conditions, including certain financial covenants and restrictions on indebtedness, dividend payments, business combinations and other related items. Further, the facility contains financial covenants limiting the ratio of the Company’s consolidated debt-to-EBITDA to no more than 2.5 to 1, and limiting the ratio of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to interest expense to no less than 2 to 1. The Company was in compliance with these covenants for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $155.6 million under the facility, and letters of credit outstanding relating to self-insurance programs and contract bids totaling $29.3 million; therefore, a total of $165.1 million of the facility was available.
