On August 27, 2013, VMS entered into an agreement (as amended to date), ("Credit Agreement") with certain lenders and Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”) as administrative agent ("Debt Lenders"). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a five-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million (the “2013 Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million (the “2013 Revolving Credit Facility” and, collectively with the 2013 Term Loan Facility, the “2013 Credit Facility”). The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility also includes a $50 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit and permits swing line loans of up to $25 million. The aggregate commitments under the 2013 Term Loan Facility may be increased by up to $100 million, and the aggregate commitments under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility, may be increased by up to $100 million, subject to certain conditions being met, including lender approval. The Credit Agreement does not require the Company to pledge the stock of any of its subsidiaries. In fiscal year 2016, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to obtain the Debt Lenders' consent to the separation of its Imaging Components business, waive any potential default that may arise as a result of the separation, and increase the maximum consolidated leverage ratio that the Company must maintain. The Credit Agreement will expire in August 2018. The proceeds of the 2013 Credit Facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, Company share repurchases, acquisitions and other corporate purposes.
Borrowings under the 2013 Term Loan Facility accrue interest either (i) based on a Eurodollar Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement (the “Eurodollar Rate”), plus a margin of 0.875% to 1.125% based on a leverage ratio involving funded indebtedness and EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax and depreciation and amortization) or (ii) based upon a base rate of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) BofA’s announced prime rate, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%, whichever is highest, plus a margin of up to 0.125% based on the same leverage ratio, depending upon instructions from the Company.
Borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest either (i) based on the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin of 1.125% to 1.375% based on a leverage ratio involving funded indebtedness and EBITDA or (ii) based upon a base rate of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) BofA’s announced prime rate, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%, whichever is highest, plus a margin of 0.125% to 0.375% based on the same leverage ratio, depending upon instructions from the Company. Borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility have a maturity of approximately 30 days if based on the Eurodollar Rate and the same maturity as the 2013 Term Loan Facility if based on the base rate.
The Company must pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility at a rate from 0.125% to 0.20% based on a leverage ratio. The Company may prepay, reduce or terminate the commitments without penalty. Swing line loans under the 2013 Credit Facility will bear interest at the base rate plus the then applicable margin for base rate loans.
The Credit Agreement contains provisions that limit the Company's ability to, among other things, incur future indebtedness, contingent obligations or liens, guarantee indebtedness, make certain investments and capital expenditures, sell stock or assets and pay dividends, and consummate certain mergers or acquisitions.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries that are typical for credit facilities of this type, and that are subject to materiality and other qualifications, carve-outs, baskets and exceptions. The Company has also agreed to maintain certain financial covenants including (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, involving funded indebtedness and EBITDA, and (ii) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement for all periods within these condensed consolidated financial statements.

VMS’s Japanese subsidiary (“VMS KK”) has an unsecured uncommitted credit agreement with Sumitomo that enables VMS KK to borrow and have outstanding at any given time a maximum of 3.0 billion Japanese Yen (the “Sumitomo Credit Facility”). The Sumitomo Credit Facility will expire in February 2017. Borrowings under the Sumitomo Credit Facility accrue interest based on the basic loan rate announced by the Bank of Japan plus a margin of 0.5% per annum.
