Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In order to provide the Company with additional liquidity and flexibility, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on October 21, 2016, among the Company, the Subsidiary Co-Borrowers, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent (the “Seventh Amendment” and the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by the Seventh Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). Specifically, the Existing Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) modify certain financial covenants to allow for the add-back of certain cash and non-cash charges, (ii) increase the maximum permitted total leverage ratio and senior secured leverage ratio financial covenants commencing with the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2017, (iii) permit the sale of certain specified assets so long as the Company applies 65% of the net proceeds received from such sales to the outstanding term loan, pro rata across all maturities, (iv) establish a new higher pricing tier for the interest rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee pricing provisions, (v) increase the interest rate and letter of credit fee pricing provisions for several of the lower tiers of the pricing grid, (vi) establish the interest rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee pricing at the highest pricing tier until the Company delivers its compliance certificate for its fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017, and (vii) extend the period during which the increased minimum revolver availability threshold test and the decreased maximum senior secured leverage ratio threshold test are in effect in connection with the Company making certain permitted investments, certain additional permitted dividends, permitted acquisitions and permitted payments of certain types of indebtedness to the date the Company delivers its compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement and related documents continue to be secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2013, among the Company, the domestic subsidiaries of the Company party thereto and the Administrative Agent, and certain other collateral documents.

The foregoing description of the Seventh Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Seventh Amendment, which is expected to be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016.
