Credit Facilities
On November 21, 2012, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a group of lenders (the “2012 Credit Facility”). This credit facility provides for unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.4 billion, comprised of a five-year revolving loan facility of $700.0 million and a five-year $700.0 million term loan facility. Subject to the terms of the 2012 Credit Facility, the revolving loan facility may be increased, and/or additional term loan commitments may be established, in an aggregate principal amount up to $300.0 million. The Company also has two $75 million uncommitted revolving loan facilities (the “Uncommitted Facilities”), which are callable by the bank at any time and have no covenants. The interest rate for the Uncommitted Facilities is 0.9% to 1.00% plus either LIBOR or the bank’s cost of funds or as otherwise agreed upon by the bank and the Company.
As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, total debt was comprised primarily of a term loan of $638.8 million. Of the total outstanding balance, $577.5 million of the term loan is classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The funds available under the 2012 Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, the financing of certain acquisitions and the payment of transaction fees and expenses related to such acquisitions. Under the 2012 Credit Facility, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the revolving loan facility until its maturity on November 21, 2017, at which time the revolving facility will terminate, and all outstanding loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, must be repaid. Amounts not borrowed under the revolving facility will be subject to a commitment fee, to be paid in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter, ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum depending on the Company's leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The term loan will be repaid in quarterly installments, with the last quarterly payment to be made on September 29, 2017, with the remaining outstanding balance being due and payable at maturity on November 21, 2017. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the term loan facility totaling $8.8 million for the remainder of fiscal 2014, $70.0 million in fiscal 2015, $70.0 million in fiscal 2016, and the remaining balance of $490.0 million in fiscal 2017. The term loan may be prepaid in whole or in part, subject to certain minimum thresholds, without penalty or premium. Amounts repaid or prepaid with respect to the term loan facility may not be reborrowed.
The Company may borrow funds under the 2012 Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars, Euros or in certain other agreed currencies, and borrowings will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either: (i) a floating per annum base rate based on the administrative agent’s prime rate or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 0.00% and 1.00%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter, or (ii) a reserve-adjusted fixed per annum rate based on LIBOR, EURIBOR, or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 1.00% and 2.00%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. Interest will be paid on the last day of each fiscal quarter with respect to borrowings bearing interest based on a floating rate, or on the last day of an interest period, but at least every three months, with respect to borrowings bearing interest at a fixed rate. The Company's obligations under the 2012 Credit Facility are guaranteed by several of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.
The 2012 Credit Facility contains various customary representations and warranties by the Company, which include customary use of materiality, material adverse effect and knowledge qualifiers. The 2012 Credit Facility also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including, among other requirements, negative covenants that restrict the Company's ability to dispose of assets, create liens, incur indebtedness, repurchase stock, pay dividends, make acquisitions and make investments. Further, the 2012 Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require the maintenance of minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. Specifically, the Company must maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of (a) EBITDA (as defined in the 2012 Credit Facility) to (b) interest expenses for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not less than 3.00 to 1. The Company must also maintain, at the end of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of (x) total indebtedness to (y) EBITDA (as defined in the 2012 Credit Facility) for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not greater than 3 to 1; provided, that on the completion of a material acquisition, the Company may increase the ratio by 0.25 for the fiscal quarter during which such acquisition occurred and each of the three subsequent fiscal quarters.
The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014.
The 2012 Credit Facility contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, breach of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments and events constituting a change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, interest on the obligations will accrue at an increased rate and the lenders may accelerate the Company's obligations under the 2012 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.
The weighted average interest rate on the current portion of the long-term debt outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility and Uncommitted Facilities was 1.41% and 1.31% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively. The interest rate on the non-current debt outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility was 1.41% and 1.67% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively.
Promissory Notes and Other Debt
As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, the Company had promissory notes and other debt totaling approximately $8.0 million and $8.5 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty.
