Term Facilities and Revolving Credit Facility
On January 15, 2014, EWT Holdings III Corp. (“EWT III”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreements” or, after the prepayment and termination of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the “First Lien Credit Agreement” or “Credit Agreement”) among EWT III, EWT Holdings II Corp., the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse AG as administrative agent and collateral agent. The First Lien Credit Agreement provided for a seven-year term loan facility, and the Second Lien Credit Agreement provided for an eight-year term loan facility. The term loan facilities originally consisted of the “First Lien Term Loan” and “Second Lien Term Loan” in aggregate principal amounts of $505,000 and $75,000, respectively. The First Lien Credit Agreement also made available to the Company a $75,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), which provided for a letter of credit sub-facility up to $35,000.

During fiscal years 2017 and 2018, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into amendments to the Credit Agreement which provided for, among other things, the refinancing of the term loans, extension of the maturity date to December 20, 2024, the reduction in the interest rate spreads to 3.00% and an additional $150,000 borrowed in incremental term loans. In addition, the revolving credit commitment and letters of credit sublimit was increased to $125,000 and $45,000, respectively. The Company makes quarterly principal payments of $2,369. At December 31, 2019, the interest rate on borrowings was 4.70%, comprised of 1.70% LIBOR plus the 3.00% spread.

Total deferred fees related to the First Lien Term Loan were $11,623 and $12,138, net of amortization, as of December 31, and September 30, 2019, respectively. These fees were included as a contra liability to debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following summarizes the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, and September 30, 2019, respectively.

The First Lien Credit Agreement contains limitations on incremental borrowings, is subject to leverage ratios and allows for optional prepayments. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to remit excess cash flows as defined based upon exceeding certain leverage ratios. The Company did not exceed such ratios during the three months ended December 31, 2019, does not anticipate exceeding such ratios during the year ending September 30, 2020, and therefore does not anticipate any additional repayments during the year ending September 30, 2020.
