Revolving Credit Facility-On October 12, 2011, we entered into a new credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders led by Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The credit agreement provides for a $500.0 million revolving credit facility, with a $25.0 million letter of credit sublimit and a $30.0 million swing line loan sublimit. The credit agreement also contains an accordion feature that permits the Company to arrange with the lenders for the provision of up to $250.0 million in additional commitments. We incurred $3.9 million in debt issuance costs related to the new credit agreement, which have been deferred and amortized over the term of the agreement. The maturity date for this agreement is October 12, 2016.

Borrowings under our credit agreement are collateralized by substantially all the assets of ManTech and its Material Subsidiaries (as defined in the credit agreement) and bear interest at one of the following variable rates as selected by the Company at the time of borrowing: a LIBOR based rate plus market-rate spreads (initially 1.50%, then 1.25% to 2.25% based on the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio) or the lender's base rate plus market spreads (initially 0.50%, then 0.25% to 1.25% based on the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio). The aggregate annual weighted average interest rates were 0.00% and 0.60% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The terms of the credit agreement permit prepayment and termination of the loan commitments at any time, subject to certain conditions. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with specified financial covenants, including the maintenance of a certain consolidated total leverage ratio, senior secured leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. The credit agreement also contains various covenants, including affirmative covenants with respect to certain reporting requirements and maintaining certain business activities, and negative covenants that, among other things, may limit or impose restrictions on our ability to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, make investments, make acquisitions and undertake certain additional actions. As of, and during, December 31, 2011 and 2010, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the credit agreement.

On October 12, 2011, in connection with the entry of the Company into the credit agreement, we terminated the commitments under our prior credit agreement, dated April 30, 2007.

There was no outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2011 and 2010. The weighted average borrowings under the revolving portion of the facility during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $0 and $38.2 million, respectively. The maximum available borrowing under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2011 was $498.8 million. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, we were contingently liable under letters of credit totaling $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, which reduces our availability to borrow under our revolving credit facility.

The following table summarizes the activity under our revolving credit facility for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

7.25% Senior Unsecured Notes-Effective April 13, 2010, the Company issued $200.0 million of 7.25% senior unsecured notes in a private placement that were resold inside the United States to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.

Pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the 7.25% senior unsecured notes, on August 19, 2010, ManTech completed the exchange of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior unsecured notes due 2018 that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 for all of the then outstanding unregistered 7.25% senior unsecured notes due 2018.

The 7.25% senior unsecured notes mature on April 15, 2018 with interest payable semi-annually starting on October 15, 2010. The 7.25% senior unsecured notes were issued at 100% of the aggregate principal amount and are effectively subordinate to the Company's existing and future senior secured debt (to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt), including debt outstanding under our senior revolving credit facility. The 7.25% senior unsecured notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time, at the option of the Company subject to certain conditions specified in the indenture governing the 7.25% senior unsecured notes. The 7.25% senior unsecured notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by each of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that also guarantees debt obligations under our senior revolving credit facility.

The fair value of the 7.25% senior unsecured notes as of December 31, 2011 was approximately $204.0 million based on quoted market prices.

The Company incurred approximately $4.9 million in issuance costs, which are being amortized to interest expense over the contractual life of the 7.25% senior unsecured notes using the effective interest rate method, resulting in an effective rate of 7.67%.

The indenture governing the 7.25% senior unsecured notes contains customary events of default, as well as restrictive covenants, which, subject to important exceptions and qualifications specified in such indenture, will, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries that guarantee the 7.25% senior unsecured notes to: pay dividends or distributions, repurchase equity, prepay subordinated debt or make certain investments; incur additional debt or issue certain disqualified stock and preferred stock; incur liens on assets; merge or consolidate with another company or sell all or substantially all assets; and allow to exist certain control provisions. An event of default under the indenture will allow either the trustee of the notes or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding notes to accelerate, or in certain cases, will automatically cause the acceleration of, the amounts due under the notes. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants under the indenture.
