Amended Credit Agreement

On December 14, 2018, the Company refinanced its credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., and other bank lenders (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement amended and restated an existing credit agreement dated April 27, 2016 and now expires on December 14, 2023. The Amended Credit Agreement increased the revolving credit facility from $325.0 million to $600.0 million, and permits the Company to borrow up to $250.0 million in approved foreign currencies, including Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, pounds sterling, and euros ($138.3 million, or €126.0 million drawn at March 31, 2020).

On December 19, 2019, the Company entered into an Incremental Joinder and Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) of the Amended Credit Agreement with several banks, which provided an incremental term loan in the amount of $300.0 million, which the Company borrowed to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of CURT. The term loan is required to be repaid in an amount equal to 1.25% of original principal amount of the term loan for the first eight quarterly periods commencing March 31, 2020, and then 1.875% of the original principal amount of the term loan for each quarter thereafter, until the maturity date of December 14, 2023. In addition, Amendment No. 1 modified the credit agreement to allow the Company to request an increase to the facility of up to an additional $300.0 million as an increase to the revolving credit facility or one, or more, incremental term loan facilities upon approval of the lenders and the Company receiving certain other consents. As a result of the new incremental term loan, the total borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement was increased from $600.0 million to $900.0 million.

Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility and incremental term loan are designated from time to time by the Company as either (i) the Alternate Base Rate (defined in the Amended Credit Agreement as the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 percent, and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) for a one month interest period plus 1.0 percent), plus additional interest ranging from 0.0 percent to 0.625 percent (0.4 percent at March 31, 2020) depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a period equal to one, two, three, six, or twelve months (with the consent of each lender) as selected by the Company, plus additional interest ranging from 1.000 percent to 1.625 percent (1.000 percent at March 31, 2020) depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. At March 31, 2020, the Company had $2.7 million in

issued, but undrawn, standby letters of credit under the revolving credit facility. Availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility was $191.7 million at March 31, 2020.

Shelf-Loan Facility

On February 24, 2014, the Company entered into a $150.0 million shelf-loan facility (as amended and restated, the “Shelf-Loan Facility”) with PGIM, Inc. (formerly Prudential Investment Management, Inc.) and its affiliates (“Prudential”). On March 20, 2015, the Company issued $50.0 million of Senior Promissory Notes (“Series A Notes”) to Prudential for a term of five years, at a fixed interest rate of 3.35 percent per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. On March 29, 2019, the Company issued $50.0 million of Series B Senior Notes (the “Series B Notes”) to certain affiliates of Prudential for a term of three years, at a fixed interest rate of 3.80 percent per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, of which the entire amount was outstanding at March 31, 2020. The net proceeds of the Series B Notes were used to repay the Series A Notes. On November 11, 2019, the Company amended and restated the Shelf-Loan Facility to provide for a new $200.0 million shelf facility pursuant to which the Series B Notes are currently outstanding and to conform certain covenants to the Amended Credit Agreement. On March 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Consent and Amendment to the Shelf-Loan Facility to join certain Company subsidiaries that were acquired in the CURT acquisition as guarantors and permit other internal restructuring matters related to certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The Shelf-Loan Facility expires on November 11, 2022.

The Shelf-Loan Facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, additional Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million (excluding the Company’s Series B Notes already outstanding). Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential.

General

At March 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt under the Amended Credit Agreement and the Shelf-Loan Facility approximates the carrying value, as estimated using quoted market prices and discounted future cash flows based on similar borrowing arrangements.

Borrowings under both the Amended Credit Agreement and the Shelf-Loan Facility are secured on a pari-passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement and Shelf-Loan Facility, the Company shall not permit its net leverage ratio to exceed certain limits, shall maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio, and must meet certain other financial requirements. At March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements.

The Amended Credit Agreement and the Shelf-Loan Facility include a maximum net leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness that the Company may incur on a trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined. This limitation did not impact the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness under its revolving credit facility at March 31, 2020. The remaining availability under the revolving credit facility and Shelf-Loan Facility was $341.7 million at March 31, 2020. The Company believes the availability under the revolving credit facility and Shelf-Loan Facility, along with its cash flows from operations, are adequate to finance the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.
