On July 21, 2005, AE Supply and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a secured term loan facility (the “New AE Supply Term Loan”) of $1.07 billion. The New AE Supply Term Loan matures in 2011 and has an initial interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.75%. The interest rate will improve to LIBOR plus 1.50% if AE Supply’s credit ratings improve from current levels. Proceeds from the New AE Supply Term Loan were used, in part, to refinance approximately $738 million outstanding under the prior AE Supply loan.

Proceeds from the New AE Supply Term Loan were also used on August 22, 2005 to redeem AE Supply’s 10.25% Senior Notes due 2007, which had a principal amount outstanding of approximately $331 million. Also on August 22, 2005, AE Supply used cash on hand to redeem its 13.0% Senior Notes due 2007, which had a principal amount outstanding of approximately $35 million.
