The Credit Agreement provided for a $100.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the �Term�Loan Facility�) and a $125.0 million senior secured revolving loan facility (the �Revolving Loan Facility�), each of which was scheduled to mature on August�29, 2018.�At the time of termination, there was approximately $73.8 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, no principal balance outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility and an outstanding standby letter of credit with a face amount of approximately $1.4 million. The Company used cash on hand to pay all outstanding principal, interest and other amounts owing under the Credit Agreement as of the termination date, and to cash collateralize the outstanding standby letter of credit.

The Credit Agreement contained customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including certain financial covenants requiring maintenance of a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio. By terminating the Credit Agreement, the Company eliminated the fees, interest and other costs associated with the facility and will no longer be subject to the covenants contained therein. Certain of the lenders and agents under the Credit Agreement, or their affiliates, have provided, currently provide and/or may provide commercial banking, investment banking, trustee and/or other financial services to the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.
