On the closing date, there were $180.5 million of term loans outstanding, $6 million of revolving loans outstanding under the Original Facility. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Original Facility was replaced with a $350 million revolving credit line with the option to increase the line by up to $150 million. The outstanding balances in the Original Facility, were rolled into the Agreement on the date of entry. In addition, the maturity date of the loans under the Agreement is now September 26, 2019.

Covenants in the Agreement have been modified to where the maximum permitted leverage ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) is 3.5 to 1, increasing to 4.0 to 1 for up to two fiscal quarters following the closing of an acquisition permitted under the Agreement. The Company will pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the facility at a rate equal to one, three or six month Libor plus between 137.5 basis points and 225 basis points based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company will also pay a commitment fee to the Lenders in an amount equal to between 17.5 basis points and 35 basis points on the undrawn portion of the credit facility, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The fixed charge coverage ratio under the Original Facility has been replaced with a minimum interest coverage ratio (EBITDA to interest expense) of 3.0 to 1 for the term of the Agreement. EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, is the sum of consolidated net income plus fees and expenses incurred in connection with a permitted acquisition for financing to the extent reducing consolidated net income, consolidated interest expense, provisions for taxes based on income, total depreciation expense, total amortization expense, other non-cash items reducing consolidated net income and any reduction of consolidated net income resulting from the fair valuation adjustment to inventory cost in connection with any permitted acquisition, less other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income for such period.
