SENIOR TERM LOANS

Senior Facilities Agreement

On November 14, 2011, the Company entered into a senior facilities agreement (the “Senior Facilities Agreement”) with Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and all significant subsidiaries of Sirona as original borrowers and original guarantors. As of November 16, 2011, Sirona fully repaid its obligations under the Prior Senior Facilities Agreement. Initial borrowings under the Senior Facilities Agreement were used to retire the outstanding borrowings under the Company's previous credit facilities.

The Senior Facilities Agreement includes:

a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million ("Facility A Term Loan") available to Sirona or Sirona Dental, as borrower;
a 120 million Euro revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility B”) available to Sirona Dental Systems GmbH and Sirona Dental Services GmbH, as initial borrowers; and
a $100 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility C”) available to Sirona or Sirona Dental, as initial borrowers.

The Revolving Facility B is available for borrowing in Euro or any other freely available currency agreed to by the facility agent. The facilities are made available on an unsecured basis. Subject to certain limitations, each European guarantor guarantees the performance of each European borrower, except itself, and each U.S. guarantor guarantees the performance of each U.S. borrower, except itself. There are no cross-border guarantees.

Of the amount borrowed under the Facility A Term Loan, 30% is due on November 16, 2015, and the balance is due on November 16, 2016. The loans under the New Senior Facilities Agreement bear interest of EURIBOR, for Euro-denominated loans, and LIBOR for the other loans, plus an initial margin of 160, 85 and 110 basis points for the Facility A Term Loan, Revolving Facility B and Revolving Facility C, respectively.

The Senior Facilities Agreement contains a margin ratchet. Pursuant to this provision, which applies from March 31, 2012 onwards, the applicable margin varies depending on the Company’s leverage multiple (i.e. the ratio of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA as defined in the Senior Facilities Agreement) between 160 basis points and 215 basis points for the Facility A Term Loan, 85 basis points and 140 basis points for the Revolving Facility B, and 110 basis points and 165 basis points for the Revolving Facility C.

The Senior Facilities Agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit Sirona's ability to make loans, to incur additional indebtedness, and to make disposals, subject to agreed-upon exceptions. The Company has agreed to certain financial debt covenants in relation to the financing. The covenants stipulate that the Company must maintain certain ratios in respect of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA. If the Company breaches these covenants, the loans will become repayable on demand.

On November 16, 2011, Sirona entered into 5-year payer interest rate swaps to fully hedge its 3-month LIBOR exposure for the Facility A Term Loan. The terms of the swap reflect the term structure of the underlying loan. The effective nominal interest rate is 1.2775% plus the applicable margin. Settlement of the swaps is required on a quarterly basis.

Debt issuance costs of $2.8 million were incurred in relation to the financing in November 2011 and have been capitalized as deferred charges and are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the loans.

As of September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, the Facility A Term Loan was fully drawn to the amount of $75.0 million. The Revolving Facilities B and C remained undrawn as of September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014.
