Item 1.01. Entry into A Material Definitive Agreement


Item 1.02. Termination of A Material Definitive Agreement

On November 3, 2009, KBR , Inc. entered into a new syndicated, unsecured $1.075 billion three-year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), replacing the existing Five Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of December 16, 2005 among KBR Holdings LLC and the lenders party thereto (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), which was terminated at the same time as the closing of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement will be used for working capital and up to $830 million of letters of credit for general corporate purposes. Amounts drawn under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at variable rates based either on (i) the London interbank offered rate plus 3%, or (ii) a base rate plus 2%, with the base rate being equal to the highest of (x) reference bank’s publicly announced base rate, (y) the Federal Funds Rate plus, 0.5%, or (z) the London interbank offered rate plus 1%. The Credit Agreement provides for fees on the undrawn amounts of letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility of 1.5% for performance and commercial letters of credit and 3% for all others. KBR will pay a commitment fee on any unused portions of the Credit Agreement of 0.625%. In addition to covenants similar to those of the Prior Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring maintenance of a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA of 3.5 to 1 and a minimum consolidated net worth of $2 billion plus 50% of consolidated net income for each quarter ending after September 30, 2009 and 100% of any increase in shareholders equity attributable to the sale of equity securities.
 
A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Credit Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Credit Agreement.
