In addition, certain covenants and terms of the Credit Agreement were amended. As of March 20, 2013, the principal amounts outstanding on the Term Loan A and Revolving Facility were approximately $975 million and $0, respectively.
Effective today, amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A and the Revolving Facility initially bear interest, at the Company's option, at: (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.00% per annum or (ii) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate/LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum.
