First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On February 4, 2019, we entered into the First Amendment to our Credit Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment, the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $725.0 million, which includes a $550.0 million Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement and a term loan facility with a principal amount of up to $175.0 million (the "Term Loan Facility" and collectively with the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Credit Facility"), which was added by the First Amendment.

We borrowed the entire principal amount of the Term Loan Facility on February 4, 2019 in order to fund a portion of the purchase price of the CCH acquisition, with the remainder of the purchase price and associated transactional fees and expenses funded by proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility.

The loans issued under the Credit Facility bear interest on a per annum basis, at our election, at either: (i) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Rate. The “Base Rate” means a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (b) the prime rate of interest established by the Administrative Agent, and (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1% per annum. The “Eurodollar Rate” means the quoted rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or a comparable successor rate approved by the Administrative Agent for an interest period of one, two, three or six months (as selected by us). The “Applicable Rate” is based on the consolidated leverage ratio and is presented in the table below. As of September 30, 2019, the Applicable Rate is 0.50% per annum for Base Rate loans and 1.50% per annum for Eurodollar Rate loans. We are also subject to a commitment fee and letter of credit fee under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, as presented in the table below.

The final maturity date of the Credit Facility is February 4, 2024. The Revolving Credit Facility will terminate and be due and payable as of the final maturity date. The Term Loan Facility, however, is subject to quarterly amortization of principal in the amount of (i) 0.625% for the period commencing on February 4, 2019 and ending on March 31, 2020, (ii) 1.250% for the period commencing on April 1, 2020 and ending on March 31, 2023, and (iii) 1.875% for the period commencing on April 1, 2023 and
ending on February 4, 2024. The remaining balance of the Term Loan Facility must be paid upon the final maturity date. In addition to the scheduled amortization of the Term Loan Facility, and subject to customary exceptions and reinvestment rights, we are required to prepay the Term Loan Facility, first, and the Revolving Credit Facility, second, with 100% of all net cash proceeds received by any loan party or any subsidiary thereof in connection with (a) any asset sale or disposition where such loan party receives net cash proceeds in excess of $5 million or (b) any debt issuance that is not permitted under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Amended Credit Agreement requires maintenance of two financial covenants: (i) a consolidated leverage ratio of funded indebtedness to EBITDA, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to cash interest charges, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. Each of these covenants is calculated over rolling four-quarter periods and also is subject to certain exceptions and baskets. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on: incurrence of liens, incurrence of additional debt, sales of assets and other fundamental corporate changes, investments, and declarations of dividends. These covenants contain customary exclusions and baskets as detailed in the Amended Credit Agreement. In connection with our entry into the Amended Credit Agreement, we recorded $0.8 million in deferred debt issuance costs as long-term obligations, less current portion within our condensed consolidated balance sheet during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Amended Credit Agreement requires at all times that we (i) provide guarantees from wholly-owned subsidiaries that in the aggregate represent not less than 95% of our consolidated net revenues and adjusted EBITDA from all wholly-owned subsidiaries and (ii) provide guarantees from subsidiaries that in the aggregate represent not less than 70% of consolidated adjusted EBITDA, subject to certain exceptions.

Our weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our $550.0 million Revolving Credit Facility was 3.8% and 3.9% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Our weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our $175.0 million Term Loan Facility was 3.8% and 3.9% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 and for the period February 4, 2019 to September 30, 2019, respectively.
As of September 30, 2019, our consolidated leverage ratio was 1.0, our consolidated interest coverage ratio was 19.5 and we are in compliance with our covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement. In the event we are not in compliance with our debt covenants in the future, we would pursue various alternatives in an attempt to successfully resolve the non-compliance, which might include, among other things, seeking debt covenant waivers or amendments.
As of September 30, 2019, our availability under our $550.0 million Revolving Credit Facility was $452.8 million as we have $67.0 million outstanding in borrowings and $30.2 million outstanding in letters of credit.
Joinder Agreement
In connection with the CCH acquisition, we entered into a Joinder Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2019, pursuant to which CCH and its subsidiaries were made parties to, and became subject to the terms and conditions of, the Amended Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2018, and the Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2018. Pursuant to the Joinder, the Amended and Restated Security Agreement and the Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement, CCH and its subsidiaries granted in favor of the Administrative Agent a first lien security interest in substantially all of their personal property assets and pledged to the Administrative Agent each of their respective subsidiaries' issued and outstanding equity interests. CCH and its subsidiaries also guaranteed our obligations, whether now existing or arising after the effective date of the Joinder, under the Amended Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Joinder and the Amended Credit Agreement.
