Credit Facility

On March 24, 2020, we entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"), which amended the Credit Agreement dated May 24, 2018 (the "Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Facility originally provided for a $500 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), a $50 million U.S. dollar senior secured term loan A made available to the Company (the "USD Term Loan") and a $250 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) Canadian dollar senior secured term loan A made available to BWXT Canada Ltd. (the "CAD Term Loan" and together with the USD Term Loan, the "Term Loans").

The Amendment, among other things, (1) provided additional commitments to increase the Revolving Credit Facility by $250 million, such that the Revolving Credit Facility is now $750 million; (2) extended the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility to March 24, 2025; (3) removed BWXT Canada Ltd. as a borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility; (4) modified the applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to be, at the Company's option, either (i) the Eurocurrency rate plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 1.75% per year or (ii) the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.75% per year, in each case depending on the Company's leverage ratio; (5) modified the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility to range from 0.15% to 0.225% per year, depending on the Company's leverage ratio; and (6) modified the letter of credit fee with respect to each financial letter of credit and performance letter of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility to range from 1.0% to 1.75% and 0.75% to 1.05% per year, respectively, in each case, depending on the Company's leverage ratio.

The Term Loans are scheduled to mature on May 24, 2023, and all obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are scheduled to mature on March 24, 2025. The proceeds of loans under the Revolving Credit Facility are available for working capital needs, permitted acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

The Credit Facility allows for additional parties to become lenders and, subject to certain conditions, for the increase of the commitments under the Credit Facility, subject to an aggregate maximum for all additional commitments of (1) the greater of (a) $250 million and (b) 65% of EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility, for the last four full fiscal quarters, plus (2) all

voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans, plus (3) additional amounts provided the Company is in compliance with a pro forma first lien leverage ratio test of less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00.

The Company's obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all of the Company's present and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries. The obligations of BWXT Canada Ltd. under the CAD Term Loan are guaranteed, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all of the Company's present and future wholly owned Canadian and domestic restricted subsidiaries.

The Credit Facility is secured by first-priority liens on certain assets owned by the Company and its subsidiary guarantors (other than its subsidiaries comprising its Nuclear Operations Group segment and a portion of its Nuclear Services Group segment); provided that (1) the Company's domestic obligations are only secured by assets and property of the domestic loan parties and (2) the obligations of BWXT Canada Ltd. and the Canadian guarantors are secured by assets and property of the Canadian guarantors and the domestic loan parties.

The Credit Facility requires interest payments on revolving loans on a periodic basis until maturity. We began making quarterly amortization payments on the Term Loans in amounts equal to 1.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of each loan in the third quarter of 2018. We may prepay all loans under the Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary Eurocurrency breakage costs), subject to notice requirements.

The Credit Facility includes financial covenants that are tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The maximum permitted leverage ratio is 4.00 to 1.00, which may be increased to 4.50 to 1.00 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters after a material acquisition. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio is 3.00 to 1.00. In addition, the Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants, including with respect to debt, liens, investments, mergers, acquisitions, dividends, equity repurchases and asset sales. As of March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Credit Facility.

The Term Loans bear interest at our option at either (1) the Eurocurrency rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.0% per year or (2) the base rate or Canadian index rate, as applicable (described in the Credit Facility as the highest of (a) with respect to the base rate only, the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the one-month Eurocurrency rate plus 1.0% and (c) the administrative agent's prime rate or the Canadian prime rate, as applicable), plus, in each case, a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.0% per year. Outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at our option at either (1) the Eurocurrency rate plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 1.75% per year or (2) the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.75% per year. We are charged a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, and that fee ranges from 0.15% to 0.225% per year. Additionally, we are charged a letter of credit fee of between 1.0% and 1.75% per year with respect to the amount of each financial letter of credit issued under the Credit Facility, and a letter of credit fee of between 0.75% and 1.05% per year with respect to the amount of each performance letter of credit issued under the Credit Facility. The applicable margin for loans, the commitment fee and the letter of credit fees set forth above will vary quarterly based on our leverage ratio. Based on the leverage ratio applicable at March 31, 2020, the margin for Eurocurrency rate and base rate or Canadian index rate term loans was 1.375% and 0.375%, respectively, the margin for Eurocurrency rate and base rate revolving loans was 1.25% and 0.25%, respectively, the letter of credit fee for financial letters of credit and performance letters of credit was 1.25% and 0.825%, respectively, and the commitment fee for the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility was 0.175%.

As of March 31, 2020, borrowings outstanding totaled $254.1 million and $280.0 million under the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, and letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $65.7 million. As a result, we had $404.3 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility for borrowings or to meet letter of credit requirements as of March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility was 2.40%.

The Credit Facility generally includes customary events of default for a secured credit facility. Under the Credit Facility, (1) if an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events occurs with respect to the Company, all related obligations will immediately become due and payable; (2) if any other event of default exists, the lenders will be permitted to accelerate the maturity of the related obligations outstanding; and (3) if any event of default exists, the lenders will be permitted to terminate their commitments thereunder and exercise other rights and remedies, including the commencement of foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.

If any default occurs under the Credit Facility, or if we are unable to make any of the representations and warranties in the Credit Facility, we will be unable to borrow funds or have letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility.
