New Credit Agreement

On April 3, 2013, the Company terminated its Forth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Prior Senior Credit Facility"), which consisted of a Term Loan A, Term Loan A-2, Term Loan A-3, Term Loan B ("Prior Term Loans) and a Revolver ("Prior Revolver"), and entered into a new credit agreement by and among GEO and GEO Corrections Holdings, Inc., as Borrowers, BNP Paribas, as Administrative Agent, and the lenders who are, or may from time to time become, a party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement consists of a $300 million Term Loan B (the “Term Loan B”) bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%), and a $700 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) currently bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% (with no LIBOR floor). The Revolver component is scheduled to mature on April 3, 2018 and the Term Loan B component is scheduled to mature on April 3, 2020. The Term Loan B and Revolver may be prepaid in whole or in part by the Company at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions.

The Company has accounted for the termination of the Prior Term Loans component of its Prior Senior Credit Facility as an extinguishment of debt and has accounted for the termination of the Prior Revolver component of the Prior Senior Credit Facility based upon the borrowing capacity accounting guidance for modification of revolving credit arrangements. Loan costs of $10.2 million were incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement transaction, of which $1.1 million was expensed as incurred as this amount was associated with the extinguishment of the Prior Term Loan component, and $9.1 million has been capitalized as deferred financing fees and is included in Other Non-Current Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013, and will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest method throughout the term of the Revolver or Term Loan B as applicable. In addition, the Company wrote off $1.1 million in unamortized debt discount and $3.3 million of unamortized deferred financing costs pertaining to the Prior Term Loans related to the termination of the Prior Senior Credit Facility. The remaining unamortized deferred financing fees pertaining to the Prior Revolver will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest method throughout the term of the Revolver.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $300.0 million in aggregate borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan B, $295.0 million in borrowings under the Revolver, and approximately $58.2 million in letters of credit which left $346.8 million in additional borrowing capacity under the Revolver. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2013 was 3.0%.

Indebtedness under the Revolver bears interest based on the Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, as of the most recent determination date, as defined, in each of the instances below at the stated rate:




LIBOR borrowings		LIBOR plus 1.75% to 2.75%.
Base rate borrowings		Prime Rate plus 0.75% to 1.75%.
Letters of credit		1.75% to 2.75%.
Unused Revolver		0.35% to 0.375%.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, and certain customary covenants that restrict the Company's ability to, among other things, (i) create, incur or assume indebtedness, (ii) create, incur, assume or permit liens, (iii) make loans and investments, (iv) engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, (v) make restricted payments, (vi) issue, sell or otherwise dispose of capital stock, (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates, (viii) allow the total leverage ratio or senior secured leverage ratio to exceed certain maximum ratios or allow the interest coverage ratio to be less than a certain ratio, (ix) cancel, forgive, make any voluntary or optional payment or prepayment on, or redeem or acquire for value any senior notes, (x) alter the business the Company conducts, and (xi) materially impair the Company's lenders' security interests in the collateral for its loans.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants as follows: (i) the Company must not exceed a Total Leverage Ratio (as defined) of 5.75 to 1.00; (ii) the Company must not exceed a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined) of 3.50 to 1.00; (iii) there is an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined) under which the lenders will not permit a ratio of less than 3.00 to 1.00 relative to (a) Adjusted EBITDA for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to (b) Interest Expense, less that attributable to non-recourse debt of unrestricted subsidiaries.

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to, (i) the Company's failure to pay principal or interest when due, (ii) the Company's material breach of any representations or warranty, (iii) covenant defaults, (iv) liquidation, reorganization or other relief relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, (v) cross default under certain other material indebtedness, (vi) unsatisfied final judgments over a specified threshold, (vii) material environmental liability claims which have been asserted against the Company, and (viii) a change in control. All of the obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the Company's present and future tangible and intangible assets and all present and future tangible and intangible assets of each guarantor, including but not limited to (i) a first-priority pledge of substantially all of the outstanding capital stock owned by the Company and each guarantor, and (ii) perfected first-priority security interests in substantially all of the Company's, and each guarantors, present and future tangible and intangible assets and the present and future tangible and intangible assets of each guarantor. The Company's failure to comply with any of the covenants under its Credit Agreement could cause an event of default under such documents and result in an acceleration of all outstanding senior secured indebtedness. The Company believes it was in compliance with all of the covenants of the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2013.
