Senior Notes
On November 9, 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million at par of aggregate principal Senior Notes, due January 2029, which are unsecured and bear interest at 3.875% per annum, payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the issuer’s current and, subject to certain exceptions, future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the issuer’s senior credit facility, term loan facility, or certain other debt of the issuer or the subsidiary guarantors.
The 2020 Senior Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 15, 2023, at the redemption prices specified under “Description of Notes—Optional Redemption”, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, such redemption date. At any time and from time to time prior to November 15, 2023, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of 100% the principal amount thereof, plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, the issuer may redeem up to 40% of the notes at any time and from time to time before November 15, 2023, with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 103.875%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Senior Notes, the Company incurred $5.8 million of direct issuance costs, which have been capitalized in unamortized debt issuance costs and are being amortized to Interest expense, net over the term of the 2020 Senior Notes.
During 2019, the Company issued $600.0 million at par of aggregate principal Senior Notes, due July 2024, which are unsecured and bear interest at 5.375% per annum, payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s current domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s Senior Credit Facility. The Indenture limits the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur certain liens, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets.
The 2019 Senior Notes will be redeemable, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after July 15, 2021, at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture along with accrued interest. At any time prior to July 15, 2021, the Senior Notes may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a “make-whole” premium, and accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes at any time before July 15, 2021, with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 105.375%, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In connection with the issuance of the 2019 Senior Notes, the Company incurred $7.1 million of debt issuance costs, which have been capitalized in unamortized debt issuance costs and are being amortized to Interest expense, net over the term of the 2019 Senior Notes.

In the event of both a change of control of the Company and a rating downgrade by the rating agencies, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding 2020 and 2019 Senior Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Indentures contains customary events of default, which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of other agreements in the Indenture; failure to pay certain other indebtedness; certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; failure to pay certain final judgments; and failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable.
Credit Agreement
The Company maintains a Credit Agreement which, as amended, provided for a term loan facility of $950 million and a revolving credit facility of $1.2 billion. On February 25, 2020, the Company executed a Fifth Amendment, which amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things:
increase the maximum allowable Consolidated Leverage Ratio to 5.00 to 1.00 until December 31, 2021 and 4.50 to 1.00 thereafter.
upon the consummation of the divestiture of the Environmental Solutions business, each of the foregoing maximum permitted Consolidated Leverage Ratio levels were reduced to 4.75 to 1.00 until December 31, 2021 and 4.25 to 1.00 thereafter.
allow for continuation of the $200.0 million of cash add backs to EBITDA through December 31, 2020, and addbacks of $100.0 million until December 31, 2021, with no further addbacks thereafter.
increase the leverage ratio pricing tier of greater than 4.50 to 1.00 by 0.125%.
grant a first-priority security interest to the administrative agent for the benefit of the lenders in substantially all of the personal property of the Company and certain of its material domestic subsidiaries, including certain equity interests held by those entities.

In the year ended December 31, 2020 and in connection with the Fifth Amendment, the Company incurred issuance costs of $1.7 million, of which $0.4 million has been charged to Interest expense, net. The remainder was capitalized as unamortized debt issuance costs and is being amortized to Interest expense, net over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement.

The Company may make prepayments against the amended Senior Credit Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The Company would be required to prepay certain outstanding amounts in the event of certain circumstances or transactions.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with its Credit Agreement Debt Leverage Ratio covenant, with an actual ratio of 3.54 to 1.00, which was below the allowed maximum ratio of 4.75 to 1.00 as set forth in the Fifth Amendment. On April 6, 2020, the Company completed the divestiture of the Environmental Solutions business. Therefore, effective April 6, 2020, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio decreased by 0.25 to 4.75 to 1.00 for fiscal quarters ending on or before December 31, 2021 and 4.25 to 1.00 for fiscal quarters ending on or after March 31, 2022.
Given our current leverage position, we believe we should be able to operate within our covenant thresholds, but due to the unpredictability of the COVID-19 pandemic and situations outside our control, it is reasonably likely we could exceed this Consolidated Leverage Ratio threshold at some point in the next 12 months. This risk can be mitigated and potentially managed through appropriate spending controls, divestitures, restructuring the Company’s existing indebtedness, amending the Credit Agreement, or seeking temporary relief from the Consolidated Leverage Ratio covenant from the Company’s lenders.
A failure to comply with these covenant provisions could result in an event of default. Upon an event of default, unless waived, the lenders could elect to terminate their commitments, cease making further loans, and/or cause their loans to become due and payable in full, foreclose against the assets securing the debt under our Credit Agreement, and force us and our subsidiaries into bankruptcy or liquidation.
