Up to $250 million of the revolving loan facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit, subject to certain conditions including issuing lender participation.  Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and limitations, the New ABL Credit Facility allows for the addition of incremental revolving commitments and/or incremental term loans.

Also, subject to certain limitations and conditions, the New ABL Credit Facility permits the incurrence of future secured debt on a basis either pari passu with, or subordinated to, the liens securing the New ABL Credit Facility.
Interest
The interest rates applicable to any loans under the New ABL Credit Facility will be based, at the option of the borrowers, on (x) a floating rate based on LIBOR (for loans denominated in U.S. dollars) or CDOR (for loans denominated in Canadian dollars) plus an initial margin of 1.50% per annum or (y) a base rate plus an initial margin of 0.50%, in each case, where margin is adjusted under the New ABL Credit Facility based on the quarterly average excess availability under the New ABL Credit Facility.
Covenants
The New ABL Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and their subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness, make dividends and other restricted payments, create or incur liens, make acquisitions and other investments, engage in mergers, consolidations or sales of assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and enter into certain restrictive agreements limiting the ability to create
