Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On June 1, 2009, Gevity HR, Inc. (the “Company” or “Gevity”) entered into that certain Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement by and among the financial institutions from time to time signatory thereto, Comerica Bank, as Administrative Agent, Co-Lead Arranger, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent, KeyBank National Association, as Co-Lead Arranger, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, TriNet HR Corporation (“TriNet HR”), as a Borrower, Gin Acquisition, Inc. (“Gin”), as a Borrower, Gevity (as successor by merger to Gin), as a Borrower (TriNet HR and Gevity, collectively, “Borrowers”), and TriNet Group, Inc. (“Parent”), as a Guarantor (the “Comerica Credit Agreement”).
     The Comerica Credit Agreement provides for (i) a three-year term loan facility of $60,000,000 and (ii) a three-year revolving credit facility of $20,000,000, which includes a $16,400,000 letter of credit subfacility. The proceeds of the term loans were used to finance a portion of the Merger (as defined below). A portion of proceeds of the revolving credit facility were used to issue letters of credit.
     Loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at a rate equal to either the Eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 4.25% per annum, or a base rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 3.25% per annum. The Term Loans bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at a rate equal to either the Eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 5.00% per annum, or a base rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 4.00% per annum. Borrowers must also pay (i) a revolving credit facility fee equal to 0.75% per annum of the aggregate revolving credit commitment, and (ii) a letter of credit fee equal to 4.25% per annum with respect to the undrawn amount of each letter of credit under the Comerica Credit Agreement.
     Borrowers’ obligations under the Comerica Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of Parent’s existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. The obligations of the Borrowers and the subsidiary guarantors under the Comerica Credit Agreement and the related guarantees are secured, subject to customary permitted liens and other agreed upon exceptions, by (1) a first priority pledge of all of the equity interests of each of Parent’s direct and indirect subsidiaries, and (2) a perfected first priority interest in all tangible and intangible assets of Parent, Borrowers and each subsidiary guarantor (subject to certain exclusions), except, in the case of a foreign subsidiary, to the extent such pledge would be prohibited by applicable law or would result in materially adverse tax consequences (limited, in the case of a foreign subsidiary, to 65% of the voting stock of such foreign subsidiary).
     The Comerica Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Borrowers and their subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on liens, indebtedness, investments, loans, acquisitions, mergers, dissolution, sale of assets, restricted payments, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, sale-leaseback transactions, prepayment of debt, and subordinated debt. The Comerica Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require Borrowers to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed coverage ratio, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, a maximum consolidated total liabilities to consolidated effective tangible net worth ratio, a
