Short-term debt

On November 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amended Cash Flow Revolver") that provides for a committed $375 million secured delayed draw term loan. The delayed draw term loan is available to be drawn through June 30, 2019. Proceeds from the delayed drawn term loan can only be used to repay the Company's senior secured notes due June 2019.

On April 5, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended Cash Flow Revolver that increased the amount available under the facility from $500 million to $700 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including repayment in full of the Company’s senior secured notes due June 2019. The revolving commitments under the Amended Cash Flow Revolver expire on November 30, 2023. Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining additional commitments from existing and/or new lenders, the Company may increase the revolver commitments under the Amended Cash Flow Revolver by up to an additional $200 million.

Loans under the Amended Cash Flow Revolver bear interest, at the Company's option, at either the LIBOR or a base rate, in each case plus a spread determined based on the Company's credit rating. Interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to base rate loans and at the end of an interest period in the case of LIBOR loans. Once borrowed, a portion of the principal amount of the delayed draw term loan is required to be repaid in quarterly installments. The outstanding principal amount of all loans under the Amended Cash Flow Revolver, including, if drawn, the delay draw term loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest, is due on the maturity date.

Certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are required to be guarantors in respect of the Amended Cash Flow Revolver. The Company and the subsidiary guarantors’ obligations under the Amended Cash Flow Revolver are secured by property of the Company and such guarantors, including, but not limited to cash, accounts receivables, inventory and the shares of the Company's subsidiaries, subject to limited exceptions.

The Amended Cash Flow Revolver requires the Company to comply with a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, measured at the end of each fiscal quarter, and at all times a maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The Amended Cash Flow Revolver contains customary affirmative covenants, including covenants regarding the payment of taxes and other obligations, maintenance of insurance, reporting requirements and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

As of March 30, 2019, there were $250 million of borrowings and $8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Amended Cash Flow Revolver.

As of March 30, 2019, certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company had a total of $72 million of short-term borrowing facilities, under which no borrowings were outstanding.

Debt covenants

The Company's Amended Cash Flow Revolver requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants. In addition, the Company's debt agreements contain a number of restrictive covenants, including restrictions on incurring additional debt, making investments and other restricted payments, selling assets, paying dividends and redeeming or repurchasing capital stock and debt, subject to certain exceptions. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 30, 2019.
