These excerpts taken from the EYE 10-K filed Feb 24, 2009. Senior Credit Facility The Company has access to a Credit Facility, which is comprised of a $300 million revolving line of credit maturing in April 2013 (the Revolver) and a $450 million Term Loan maturing in April 2014. As of December 31, 2008, the Revolver included outstanding cash borrowings of $100.0 million and commitments to support letters of credit totaling $8.4 million issued on behalf of the Company for normal operating purposes, which resulted in an available borrowing balance of $191.6 million. The outstanding balance of the Term Loan as of December 31, 2008 was $438.9 million. Borrowings under the Credit Facility, if any, bear interest at current market rates plus a margin based upon the Companys ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined. The incremental interest margin on borrowings under the Credit Facility decreases as the Companys ratio of debt to EBITDA decreases to specified levels. During 2008, this interest margin was 1.75% over the applicable LIBOR rate. Additionally, the Company can borrow at the prevailing prime rate of interest plus an interest margin of 0.75%. The average annual rate of interest during 2008, inclusive of incremental margin, was 4.99% and 5.22% for the Revolver and Term Loan, respectively. Under the Credit Facility, certain transactions may trigger mandatory prepayment of borrowings. Such transactions may include equity or debt offerings, certain asset sales and extraordinary receipts. During 2008, the Company generated extraordinary receipts, as defined, which is comprised of net income adjusted for non-cash items, capital expenditures, cash payments for income taxes and interest and changes in working capital. The extraordinary receipts for 2008 resulted in an acceleration of approximately $14.8 million of the balance on the Term Loan at December 31, 2008, which is due within 95 days of year end. This amount is in addition to the $3.3 million the Company voluntarily prepaid on the Term Loan in December 2008. The Revolver contains a material adverse effect clause, which does not trigger mandatory prepayments, but which may limit future borrowings. The Company pays a quarterly fee (1.875% per annum at December 31, 2008) on the average balance of outstanding letters of credit and a quarterly commitment fee (0.50% per annum at December 31, 2008) on the average unused portion of the Revolver. In addition, the Company makes mandatory quarterly amortization payments (1.0% per annum at December 31, 2008) on the outstanding balance of the Term Loan.
