The Company has a credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., and Capital One, N.A. that provides for a revolving line of credit and a $150,000 Term Loan A and $400,000 Term Loan B (“credit facility”). The credit agreement also provides for issuances of letters of credit of up to $10,000 and swingline loans up to $20,000.  On July 19, 2019, the Company agreed to a first amendment to the credit facility, effective August 6, 2019, which permanently reduced the commitment on its revolving line of credit from $250,000 to $200,000. In addition, the first amendment modified the financial debt covenants for the total net leverage ratio and the interest coverage ratio for the period September 30, 2019 through December 31, 2020. The first amendment makes these financial debt covenants less restrictive during the stated period and thereafter returns to the originally agreed upon ratios. The revolving line of credit and Term Loan A mature on December 20, 2022 and Term Loan B matures on December 20, 2024.

Interest on the revolving line of credit and Term Loan A is accrued at a rate equal to (i) the monthly LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (ii) a base rate that is the highest of the U.S. prime rate, federal funds rate (plus ½ of 1 percent) and LIBOR (plus 1 percent), at the Company’s option. The applicable margin is adjusted quarterly based on the Company’s leverage ratio. At September 30, 2019, the applicable margin was 2.50 percent for LIBOR loans and 1.50 percent for base rate loans. Interest on the Term Loan B is accrued similarly to Term Loan A, except the applicable margin is fixed at 4.50 percent for LIBOR loans and 3.50 percent for base rate loans.  The Company’s Term Loan A and Term Loan B interest rates were 4.55 percent and 6.55 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2019 and 4.78 percent and 7.03 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2018. The interest rate on the revolving line of credit was 4.55 percent and 5.19 percent at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company is charged a monthly unused commitment fee ranging from 0.3 percent to 0.4 percent on the average unused daily balance on its $200,000 revolving line of credit.

The Company had weighted average borrowings on its revolving line of credit of $137,521 and $163,380 and maximum borrowings on its revolving line of credit of $196,300 and $231,200 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company had $95,000 and $73,700 available to borrow on its revolving line of credit at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  The revolving line of credit-related unamortized debt issuance costs were $4,964 and $4,246 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  In July 2019, the Company incurred $2,346 in debt issuance costs with the first amendment and wrote-off $731 in debt issuance costs, due to the permanent reduction in the borrowing commitment under the credit facility, to interest expense.  Such debt issuance costs, are classified within “Other noncurrent assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Term Loan A and Term Loan B requires quarterly principal payments of $1,875 and $1,000, plus accrued interest, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company made a voluntary prepayment of $74,000 on the Term Loan B.

The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets.  The credit facility contains covenants that requires the Company, among other things, to provide financial and other information reporting, and to provide notice upon certain events. These covenants also place restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness,

pay dividends or make other distributions, redeem or repurchase capital stock, make investments and loans, and enter into certain transactions, including selling assets, engaging in mergers or acquisitions, or engaging in transactions with affiliates. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of September 30, 2019. Although the Company was in compliance with its financial debt covenants at September 30, 2019, it was in compliance due to the modification of the financial debt covenants that became effective in August 2019.  As disclosed in Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation, Liquidity and Going Concern,” management believes it is probable that the Company will be in violation of the less restrictive covenants at December 31, 2019.  Therefore, the Company has classified the outstanding balance under Term Loan A and Term Loan B as of September 30, 2019 as current in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
