Syndicated Credit Agreement
 
On February 23, 2015, we entered into a five-year $150,000 syndicated credit agreement (“credit facility”) which amended and replaced in its entirety our prior syndicated credit facility entered into on December 11, 2011. The new credit facility allows for revolving loans of $90,000 in US dollars, $10,000 in alternate currencies and a $50,000 US dollar term loan facility. The term loan facility is available in a single advance and expires 364 days after the February 23, 2015 closing date. If drawn, the term loan is amortizable in quarterly installments as follows: 10% of principal is due in each of years one and two, 20% of principal is due in each of years three and four and 30% of principal is due in year five with the remaining balance due at maturity. The new facility has a $100,000 accordion feature to increase the commitments in any of the three previous loan classes subject to approval by applicable lenders. We entered into the credit facility with a syndicate of four banks, with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. acting as administrative agent for the U.S. and Canadian dollar loans and JP Morgan Europe Ltd. acting as administrative agent for the Euro and other alternate currency loans. The syndicated credit facility is secured by the assets of DMC including accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets, as well as guarantees and share pledges by DMC and its subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the $90,000 revolving loan and $50,000 term loan can be in the form of Alternate Base Rate loans (“ABR” borrowings are based on the greater of adjusted Prime rates, adjusted CD rates, or adjusted Federal Funds rates) or one, two, three, or six month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) loans. ABR loans bear interest at the defined ABR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 1.25%) and LIBOR loans bear interest at the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.25%).

Borrowings under the $10,000 Alternate Currency revolving loans can be in Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling and any other currency that is freely transferable and convertible to U.S. Dollars. Alternative currency borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be comprised of Canadian Dealer Offered Rate (“CDOR”) Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, at our option, and bear interest at the CDOR rate plus applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.25%) or the applicable Canadian Prime Rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 1.25%), respectively. Alternative currency borrowings denominated in Euros shall be comprised of Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) loans and bear interest at the EURIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.25%). Alternative currency borrowings denominated in any other alternate currency shall be comprised of Eurocurrency loans and bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.25%).
