Borrowings and Credit Facilities

On July 29th, 2014, we entered into a revolving credit agreement that matures on July 29, 2019 (the "Credit Agreement"). On December 14, 2015, we entered into an amendment to our Credit Agreement that increases the maximum consolidated leverage ratio from a limit of 3.0x beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and continuing through the first quarter of fiscal 2018, with a maximum ratio of 4.5x for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 through the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The amendment also reduced the aggregate amount of revolving commitments of the lenders from $1.0 billion to $850.0 million and added a letter of credit sublimit of $500.0 million. In addition, we also agreed to limit priority debt (secured indebtedness and the unsecured indebtedness of our foreign subsidiaries) to 10% of consolidated net worth and to limit cash dividends to $25.0 million per year in the aggregate. We may continue to request an increase of up to $250.0 million of additional aggregate revolving commitments, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility based on our credit rating. Letters of credit issued under applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement represent an unfunded utilization of the Credit Agreement for purposes of calculating the periodic commitment fee due. Eurodollar rate loans bear interest for a period from the applicable borrowing date until a date one week or one, two, three or six months thereafter, as selected by the Company, at the corresponding Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 2.0% depending on the Company's credit rating. Base rate loans bear interest from the applicable borrowing date at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced by the administrative agent as its "prime rate," or (c) a daily rate equal to the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus (ii) a margin that varies according to the Company's credit rating. Swing line loans bear interest at either the base rate described above or the daily floating Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin, as selected by the Company. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also restricts payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders if the consolidated leverage ratio exceeds the maximum amount set forth therein. As of January 29, 2016, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement.

As of January 29, 2016, there were no direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Total interest expense recognized for direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement for the quarters ended January 29, 2016 and January 30, 2015 was $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, which count toward the $0.9 billion credit limit, totaled $141.9 million. As of January 29, 2016, there was $708.1 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

On July 29, 2014, we also entered into a term loan agreement that matures July 29, 2019 and provides for a commitment of up to $375.0 million. The Term Loan replaced our prior term loan, dated as of June 16, 2011. The Prior Term Loan had been scheduled to mature on July 16, 2016 and provided an initial commitment of $500.0 million, which had been drawn in full in conjunction with our fiscal 2011 acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies, Inc. and had been amortized to $375.0 million at the date that we entered into the Term Loan. We utilized the $375.0 million commitment under the Term Loan to repay the balance outstanding under the Prior Term Loan. On December 14, 2015, the Term Loan was amended to be consistent with the revolving Credit Agreement with respect to the maximum leverage ratio, restrictions on priority debt and dividends, and other restricted payments. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments beginning in fiscal 2016, of which $4.7 million was paid during the quarter ended January 29, 2016, and contains terms and conditions that are the same as the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of January 29, 2016, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Term Loan.

On October 12, 2011, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due in 2021 (the "2021 Notes") in an offering that was registered under the Securities Act. Interest on the 2021 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, and the 2021 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.5%.

In November 2006, we issued Senior Notes for an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million at 6.625% due 2036 (the "2036 Notes"). Interest on the 2036 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, and the 2036 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. The 2036 Notes were originally issued in a private placement under an exemption from registration provided by the Securities Act. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the 2036 Notes were exchanged for substantially identical 2036 Notes in an exchange that was registered under the Securities Act. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2036 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.375% for the 2036 Notes.

Our borrowings also include amounts related to transfers of certain receivables under factoring arrangements with recourse related to our French operations.
