Credit Agreements

Term Loan
On October 19, 2020, the Company refinanced the 2016 credit agreements (comprised of (i) a first lien term loan credit agreement, as amended; (ii) a second lien term loan credit agreement, as amended; and (iii) a revolving credit facility, as amended, each dated as of October 26, 2016) (the “2016 Credit Agreements”) and entered into new senior secured credit facilities (the “2020 Credit Agreements”). The 2020 Credit Agreements provide for borrowings up to $890.0 million. The 2020 Credit Agreements established a $740.0 million term loan facility maturing in October 2027 priced at LIBOR plus a spread of 4.5%, a $150.0 million delayed draw term loan facility maturing in October 2027 priced at LIBOR plus a spread of 4.5% (together the “First Term Loan”), and a $175.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2020 ABL Credit Agreement”) maturing in October 2025 priced at LIBOR plus a spread of 1.8% to 2.3%.
The 2020 Credit Agreements require the Company to comply with specified financial covenants under certain circumstances, including the maintenance of certain leverage ratios.
The 2020 Credit Agreements also contain various non-financial covenants, including affirmative covenants with respect to reporting requirements and maintenance of business activities, and negative covenants that, among other things, may limit or impose restrictions on the Company’s ability to alter the character of the business, consolidate, merge, or sell assets, incur liens or additional indebtedness, make investments, and undertake certain additional actions.
PAE was in compliance with the financial covenants under the 2020 Credit Agreements as of June 27, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Equipment Note
The Company, through DZSP, entered into a line of credit with Bank of America for the financing of program specific equipment through the issuance of secured loan notes. Each note represents a separate and independent financing of equipment. As of June 27, 2021, PAE has one outstanding equipment loan note (the “Equipment Note”) totaling to $5.0 million with a maturity date of March 2028.
The interest rate per annum applicable to the Equipment Note is equal to a fixed rate of 2.8%.

Interest Rates on Credit Agreements
The interest rate per annum applicable to amounts borrowed under the First Term Loan is equal to either the Base Rate (as defined below) or the LIBO Rate (as defined below), in either case, plus (i) 4.5% in the case of the Base Rate loans and (ii) 3.5% in the case of LIBO Rate loans.
The “Base Rate” is defined as a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus one half of one percent, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America (“BofA”) as its “prime rate,” and (c) the LIBO Rate for a LIBO Rate Term Loan with a one month interest period commencing on such day plus 1.0%. The “prime rate” is a rate set by BofA based upon various factors including BofA’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors. The “LIBO Rate” is defined as the rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate or a comparable or successor rate, whichever rate is approved by the Administrative Agent (as that term is defined in the 2020 Credit Agreements).
As of June 27, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the applicable interest rate on the amounts borrowed under the First Term Loan was 5.3% for each period, respectively.
The interest rate per annum applicable to the 2020 Credit Agreements is equal to either a Base Rate or a LIBO Rate plus (i) a range of 0.8% to 1.3% in the case of Base Rate loans and (ii) a range of 1.8% to 2.3% in the case of LIBO Rate loans, each based on average availability as of the first day of each quarter.
As of June 27, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the applicable interest rate on amounts borrowed under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility was 4.0% for each period, respectively.

In addition, the LIBO Rate is the subject of recent national, international, and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform and replacement. In July 2017, the Chief Executive of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “U.K. FCA”), which regulates LIBO Rate, announced that the U.K. FCA will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the LIBO Rate benchmark after 2021. This announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBO Rate on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021, and it appears likely that LIBO Rate will be discontinued or modified. The consequences of the discontinuance of the
LIBO Rate benchmark cannot be entirely predicted but could include an increase in the cost of our variable rate indebtedness.
Letters of Credit
The Company had ten outstanding letters of credit for program and insurance requirements totaling approximately $23.4 million as of June 27, 2021 and 13 outstanding letters of credit for program and insurance requirements totaling approximately $23.9 million as of December 31, 2020.
