The credit agreement provides for a $300 million revolving credit facility commitment, with the option of requesting the lenders to increase the commitment by $100 million subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the credit agreement. The credit agreement, which matures November 9, 2021, provides Vector Security with a significant increase in its borrowing capacity, along with an appealing cost of borrowing.  The new credit agreement contains customary covenants, representations and warranties, and events of default.
