This new credit facility provides a revolving line of credit for a five year term, expiring September 30, 2020. This facility allows us to request an increase in the total commitment of up to $250 million, to request a one year extension of the maturity date, and requires us to maintain certain covenants and financial ratios. Borrowing costs are based on LIBOR, or a Base Rate, plus an applicable margin and other fees. The new credit facility contains customary default provisions and remedies, including a right to accelerate the payment of outstanding obligations. The terms and conditions are contained in the Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1. This credit facility will be used for equipment purchases, to repurchase our common stock and other working capital purposes. This new credit facility replaced a $500 million&nbsp;Credit&nbsp;Agreement dated August 12, 2011, by and among J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. as borrower, J.B.

CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION

We entered into a new $500 million Credit Agreement dated September 30, 2015, by and among J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. as borrower, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. as parent guarantor, the lenders named therein, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. This new credit facility provides a revolving line of credit for a five year term, expiring September 30, 2020. This facility allows us to request an increase in the total commitment of up to $250 million, to request a one year extension of the maturity date, and requires us to maintain certain covenants and financial ratios. Borrowing costs are based on LIBOR, or a Base Rate, plus an applicable margin and other fees. The new credit facility contains customary default provisions and remedies, including a right to accelerate the payment of outstanding obligations. The terms and conditions are contained in the Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1. This credit facility will be used for equipment purchases, to repurchase our common stock and other working capital purposes. This new credit facility replaced a $500 million Credit Agreement dated August 12, 2011, by and among J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. as borrower, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. as parent guarantor, the lenders named therein, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent.
