On June 22, 2016, Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation (the “Company”), and certain other subsidiaries of the Company entered into (i) an amended and restated $1.2 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $200.0 million and a swing line sub facility of $75.0 million, and (ii) a $400.0 million delayed draw term loan (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan), all pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Second Amended and Restated Refinancing Credit Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2016 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, Wabtec Cooperatief UA, as borrowers, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors and the lenders party thereto and PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, PNC Capital Markets LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., HSBC Bank, USA, National Association and Société Générale, as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, Bank of America, National Association and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents, and HSBC Bank USA, National Association and Société Générale, as Co-Documentation Agents. The Revolving Credit Facility contains an uncommitted accordion feature allowing the Company to request increases to the borrowing commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility of up to $400.0 million in the aggregate.

The Revolving Credit Facility matures on June 22, 2021 and is unsecured. The obligations of the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility have been guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Delayed Draw Term Loan matures on June 22, 2019 and is unsecured. The applicable interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Agreement includes interest rate spreads based on the Company’s total debt to EBITDA ratio that range between 0.75% and 1.75% for LIBOR-based borrowings and 0.00% and 0.75% for Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) based borrowings.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) with respect to, among other things, indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates. So long as no event of default exists, the Company is permitted to (i) pay dividends and (ii) repurchase common stock or repurchase indebtedness without limitation, so long as in each case the Company is in compliance with financial statement ratios after giving effect to such payments or repurchases.

The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default, including a failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due, failure to comply with covenants, the fact that any representation or warranty made by any of the Loan Parties is materially incorrect, the occurrence of an event of default under certain other indebtedness of Loan Parties, the commencement of certain insolvency or receivership events affecting any of the Loan Parties and the occurrence of a change in control of any of the Loan Parties (subject to certain permitted transactions as described in the Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the commitments of the lenders may be terminated, and all outstanding obligations of the Loan Parties under the Revolving Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable.

The foregoing is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and not a complete discussion of the document. Accordingly, the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. In addition, on June 23, 2016, the Company issued a press release regarding the Credit Agreement.
