Term Loan Credit Facility - due June 2024

On June 14, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto (as defined therein) that provides for a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $561,800 with a maturity date of June 14, 2024 (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”). Principal repayments equal to approximately $1,405 are due each March, June, September and December (commencing with September 30, 2019) with the final principal repayment installment repaid on the maturity date and in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount outstanding on such date. The Term Loan Credit Facility bears an interest rate per annum based on the character of the loan (defined as either “Base Rate Loan” or “Eurocurrency Rate Loan”). Each loan type bears interest at a rate per annum comprised of a base rate (as defined) plus an applicable percentage (6.00% for Base Rate Loans and 7.00% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date and 7.00% or 8.00% thereafter (the “Applicable Rate”)). The Eurocurrency base rate is subject to a 2.00% floor. Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan is payable in arrears on the last business day of each March, June, September and December and the maturity date. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Rate Loan is payable in arrears on the last day of each interest period as defined therein. As of March 31, 2020, the borrowings made under the Term Loan Credit Facility were comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an interest rate of 9.00%, calculated as the eurocurrency rate during the period plus an applicable rate of 7.00%. As of March 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Term Loan Credit Facility was $539,158, with $5,618 classified as current, within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the term loan credit facility was $538,765, with $5,618 classified as current, within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

All obligations under the Term Loan Credit Facility are substantially guaranteed by the Company’s existing wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, and are required to be guaranteed by the Company’s future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. Certain obligations under the Term Loan Facility are secured by a senior lien, subject to certain exceptions (including the ABL Priority Collateral described below), by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s subsidiary guarantors (“Term Loan Priority Collateral”), in each case subject to exceptions. The obligations under the Term Loan Credit Facility are also secured by a junior lien, again subject to certain exceptions, against the ABL Priority Collateral. The Term Loan Facility contains negative and affirmative covenants including certain financial covenants that are more flexible than the covenants on the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 9, 2018. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under this agreement as of March 31, 2020.

Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement

On November 9, 2018, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement which includes a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”). Under the ABL Facility, the Company may borrow cash from the Lenders (as defined therein) or cause the L/C Issuers (as defined therein) to issue letters of credit, on a revolving basis, in an aggregate amount of up to $225,000, of which no more than $200,000 may be drawn through letters of credit. Any borrowings under the ABL Facility will have a maturity date of April 3, 2022 and will bear interest based on the character of the loan (defined as either “Base Rate Loan” or “Eurocurrency Rate Loan”) plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% for Base Rate Loans and 2.00% to 2.50% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, depending on the amount of credit available. Pursuant to terms of the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement at each notice period, the Company elects the character of the loan, the interest period, and may provide notice of continuation or conversion of the borrowed principal amount with the ability to repay the borrowed principal amount in advance of the maturity date without penalty. On March 20, 2020, the Company borrowed $57,500 principal amount under the ABL Facility. The funds were borrowed to augment the Company’s short-term operational flexibility in the face of uncertainty created by the current spread of the COVID-19 virus and its potential effects (see further discussion in Note 1). As of March 31, 2020, the borrowings made under the ABL Facility were comprised of Base Rate Loans with an interest rate of 4.25%, calculated as the base rate during the period plus an applicable rate of 1.0%; the borrowings will be subject to a continuation or conversion election of both the applicable rate selection and the interest period determination on September 20, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the carrying value of the ABL Facility was $57,500 with all amounts classified as non-current within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the maturity date of the ABL Facility. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no borrowings under the ABL Facility.

Any letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility will bear a commitment fee rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% depending on the amount of availability per terms of the agreement, and a fronting fee of 0.25% of the face amount under each letter of credit, payable to the ABL Facility’s administrative agent. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $119,676 and $99,876 letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility, respectively.

The Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, and related documents contain negative and affirmative covenants including certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under these agreements as of March 31, 2020.
