On ~~June 1~~February 4, ~~2007~~2008, ~~Hawaiian Telcom Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) and Hawaiian Telcom Holdco,~~ ~~Inc.,~~ the ~~parent~~Board ~~corporation~~ of ~~the~~Directors Company (“Holdco”), executed an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, and the other agents party thereto, which amended the existing Credit Agreement, dated as of May 2, 2005, among the Company, Holdco, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent for such lenders, and the other agents party thereto (the “Existing Credit Agreement”). Among other things, the Amended Credit Agreement amends financial covenants, provides for senior credit facilities consisting of a $90 million five-year revolving credit facility (reduced from $200 million) and a new $860 million seven-year term loan facility, and permits the disposition (which is subject to regulatory approvals) of the directory publishing business of Hawaiian Telcom ~~Services~~ ~~Company~~Communications, Inc. (the “~~HTSC~~Company”)~~, a~~ ~~wholly-owned~~appointed ~~subsidiary~~Kevin ~~of the Company~~J. ~~The~~ ~~revolving~~Nystrom credit facility matures on April 30, 2012 and provides for letters of credit and a swingline facility. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility can be repaid and reborrowed from time to time. The new term facility matures on April 30, 2012 unless any necessary regulatory approvals are obtained to extend the term to June 1, 2014, and amortizes in equal quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1% per annum, with the balance due at maturity. The new term facility is also subject to mandatory prepayment with the proceeds of specified debt issuances and asset sales, as ~~well as with specified percentages of excess cash flow, subject to exceptions. Borrowings under~~ the new term facility also may be prepaid voluntarily at any time without premium or penalty (other than a 1% premium payable upon specified refinancings or repricings prior to June 1, 2008), and once repaid cannot be reborrowed. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the new term facility bear interest at a per annum rate, at the Company’s ~~election,~~Chief ~~equal~~Operating to an alternate base rate (which is the greater of the prime rate and the federal funds effective rate plus one-half of one percent) or Eurodollar rate, in each case plus a spread determined by reference to a pricing grid which is based on the Company’s total leverage ratioOfficer. The Company also will pay a per annum commitment fee, payable quarterly, on the undrawn amount of the revolving credit facility, which fee will be determined by reference to the pricing grid. The Amended Credit Agreement contains a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a net secured leverage ratio covenant that is tested quarterly if any revolving loans, letters of credit or swingline loans are then outstanding. The Company’s obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon an event of default, which includes non-payment of principal or interest, breach of representation or warranty, breach of covenant, cross-default to other material debt, specified bankruptcy events, material judgments and ERISA events, invalidity of liens or guarantees, and a change in control. The Company borrowed the full amount of the new term facility on June 1, 2007 and used the proceeds to repay the term loan facility under the Existing Credit Agreement and to repay $109 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
