The amended credit agreement provides for credit facilities in an initial aggregate principal amount of $ 1,007.5 million, consisting of (1) a senior secured revolving credit facility with a term of five years of $ 400.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (2) a $ 142.5 million senior secured term loan facility to replace the Company’s existing senior secured term loan facility, maturing September 25, 2024 (the “A-1 Term Loan Facility”), (3) a five-year senior secured term loan facility of $ 315 million (the “A-2 Term Loan Facility”) and (4) a 364-day senior secured term loan facility of $ 150 million (the “364 Day Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the A-1 Term Loan Facility and the A-2 Term Loan Facility, the “Facilities”).

In addition, a commitment fee accumulates on the unused amount of the revolving credit facility at an annual rate of 0.225%, which rate is also subject to a gradual increase or decrease based on a ratio of consolidated net leverage. The amended credit agreement contains the usual replacement provisions for LIBOR.

The A-1 term loan facility will be amortized on a quarterly basis for an annual amount equal to 2.5% of the initial principal of the A-1 term loan facility ($ 150.0 million) during the first year after closing, 5.0% of this initial capital in the second year and 1.25% of this initial capital during each of the first three quarters of the third year, the outstanding capital being payable at the due date. The A-2 term loan facility will amortize quarterly at an annual amount equal to 2.5% of the original principal amount of the A-2 term loan facility in each of years one to three. 5.0 % of this initial capital in the fourth year and 1.25% of this initial capital during each of the first three quarters of the fifth year, the balance of the outstanding capital being payable at maturity. The 364 day facility will not be amortized and will be payable in full at maturity. The facilities are subject to prepayment with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, accident or conviction events and unauthorized debt issuances.
