The term loan matures on June 7, 2018. It has a $100 million accordion feature.

The initial interest rate is Libor plus 150 basis points. The margin over Libor ranges from 112.5 bps to 225 bps based on the company's leverage ratio.

Amortization payments are due on an annual basis beginning June 30, 2014.

Union Bank, NA, BBVA Compass, HSBC Bank USA, NA, Keybank NA, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. and Wells Fargo Bank, NA are the syndication agents.

The company used about $675 million of the proceeds to repay debt under its prior term loan facility and about $72 million of the proceeds to pay down debt under its revolving credit facility and other short-term debt.

The credit agreement requires the company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 times and a maximum leverage ratio of 3 times.

The company's obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed by some of its subsidiaries. The loans are unsecured.

In connection with the term loans, the company amended its revolving credit facility with Bank of America as administrative agent to conform some of its provisions to the applicable provisions in the term credit agreement.
