Note 5 – Debt

On August 2, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of VAC Holding, the Company terminated its revolving credit facility and the Kokkola Credit Facility and entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The borrowers under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are the Company and Harko C.V., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the Netherlands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Harko"). The Senior Secured Credit Facility was used to (i) finance a portion of the purchase price of VAC Holding, (ii) repay existing indebtedness of the Company under its former revolving credit facility, (iii) repay VAC Holding's indebtedness outstanding on the date of the acquisition on behalf of the seller, (iv) pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the VAC Holding acquisition and will be used to fund working capital and for general corporate purposes as needed.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for (i) a $100 million term loan A facility (the "Term A Facility"), which was fully drawn on August 2, 2011, (ii) a $350 million term loan B facility (the "Dollar Term B Facility"), which was fully drawn on August 2, 2011, (iii) a €175 million term loan facility (the "Euro Term B Facility" and, together with the Dollar Term B Facility, the "Term B Facility" and, together with the Term A Facility, the "Term Loan Facility"), which was fully drawn on August 2, 2011, and (iv) a $200 million undrawn revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), of which up to $100 million may be denominated in Euros.

The obligations of the Company under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and all of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries. In addition, the obligations of the Company under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the voting capital stock of the Company's direct foreign subsidiaries. The obligations of Harko under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The obligations of Harko under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of Harko and the Company's subsidiaries and a 100% pledge of the voting capital stock of the Company's subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, including limitations relating to German capital maintenance rules and other financial assistance limitations in certain foreign jurisdictions.

The Company has the option to specify that interest be calculated based on either a London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") or on a variable base rate, plus, in each case, a calculated applicable margin. The interest rate for base rate loans will be the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) Bank of America's prime rate or (iii) LIBOR plus 1.00%. The applicable margins for the Term A Facility, the Dollar Term B Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility range from 2.75% to 3.25% for base rate loans and 3.75% to 4.25% for LIBOR loans. The margin for the Euro Term B Facility is 4.75%. The LIBOR rates under the Term B Loan Facility are subject to a floor of 1.5%. At September 30, 2011, the weighted average interest rate for the outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 5.7%.

The Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility mature on August 2, 2016. The Term B Facility matures on August 2, 2017. In addition, the Term Loan Facility requires mandatory prepayments of principal based on certain percentages of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility), beginning in 2013, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, subject to certain thresholds and exceptions, the Company will be required to prepay the loans outstanding under the Term Loan Facility with all of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales and from the issuance or incurrence of additional debt of the Company.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties and certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; (iii) make investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from restricted subsidiaries to the Company; (vi) incur or suffer to exist liens securing indebtedness; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets; and (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facility contains financial covenants that limit capital expenditures in any fiscal year and that measure (i) the ratio of the Company's total indebtedness to the amount of the Company's consolidated EBITDA, and (ii) the ratio of the amount of the Company's consolidated EBITDA to the Company's cash interest expense.

The Company incurred fees and expenses of $29.3 million related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility. These fees and expenses were deferred and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
