The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides the Borrower with the option to request an uncommitted increase in the revolving loan commitments by, and/or add an uncommitted term loan in, an aggregate principal amount of $350 million.
The Company has entered into an amendment and restatement of its guaranty (the “Amended and Restated Parent Guaranty”) pursuant to which the Company has reaffirmed its existing guarantee and absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, for the benefit of the lenders party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as and when due and payable.
The description set forth in this Item 1.01 under the heading “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement” does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which is also attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and the Amended and Restated Parent Guaranty, which is also attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
