We entered into a credit agreement on December 21, 2004 with certain lenders
named therein, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Bank of
America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, Suntrust Bank, Harris Trust and Savings Bank,
HSBC Bank USA and LaSalle Bank National Association, as Documentation Agents, and
Wachovia Capital Markets LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner.
The credit agreement provides for a maximum borrowing of $300.0 million and
terminates on December 21, 2009. This maximum borrowing may be reduced from time to
time in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement. The credit agreement
contains a sublimit of $100.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. Amounts
borrowed under the credit agreement may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time
to time until December 21, 2009.
4
Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest, at our option, at either
(a) the banks base rate, described in the credit agreement as the higher of the
annual rate of the lead banks prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or
(b) LIBOR (a publicly published rate) plus, in either case, a spread based upon our
consolidated leverage ratio. Based on our current leverage ratio, borrowings would
be eligible for a spread of 0.0% for revolving borrowings based on prime rate or the
federal funds rate and 1.0% for revolving borrowings based on LIBOR. Under the
credit agreement, we agree to pay a facility fee, payable quarterly, at rates that
range from 0.2% to 0.375% of the unutilized commitments, depending on our leverage
ratio, provided that in the event we are utilizing less than one-third of the
facility, the fee will be 0.375% of the unutilized commitments. Payments under the
credit agreement are guaranteed by most of our subsidiaries.
On September 12, 2005, we amended our credit agreement to allow for the
issuance and sale of up to $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior
subordinated notes and the application of the net proceeds of such notes offering
towards payment for the shares tendered in the Offer. The amendment also amends,
among other things, certain financial covenants in the credit agreement and provides
that a modification of the subordination provisions of the indenture will be a
default under the credit agreement. After giving effect to the amendment we are
required to (1) maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of (a) prior to the
consummation of the tender offer, not greater than 2.75 to 1.00 and (b) after the
tender offer, not greater than 3.00 to 1.00, (2) maintain an interest coverage ratio
of not less than 2.75 to 1.00, as measured at the end of each fiscal quarter and (3)
maintain consolidated tangible net worth, which will be calculated at the end of
each fiscal quarter, of not less than (a) prior to the consummation of the tender
offer, $200.0 million plus 50% of consolidated net income (if positive) from
December 21, 2004 to the date of computation plus 75% of the equity issuances made
from December 21, 2004 to the date of computation and (b) after the consummation of
the tender offer, $50.0 million plus 50% of consolidated net income (if positive)
from the effective date of the amendment to the date of computation plus 75% of the
equity issuances made from the date of the amendment to the date of computation. As
of July 30, 2005, we had no borrowings under the credit agreement and had $37.3
million face amount of letters of credit outstanding under the facility sublimit for
letters of credit. We may borrow up to $50.0 million under the credit agreement to
pay a portion of the shares of our common stock tendered in the Offer.
