In addition, amounts prepaid and eligible for reborrowing are subject to an unused line fee of 0.325% per annum times the average daily amount of the unused commitments.
The Term Loan Amendment sets forth procedures for reborrowing and also amends certain provisions relating to permitted indebtedness and refinancing of the Company’s indebtedness and certain provisions related to the Company’s $350 million senior unsecured notes issued on August 29, 2016.
