On March 10, 2011, Allegiant Travel Company and its subsidiaries (the "Company") entered into a Credit Agreement with certain lenders, Citadel Securities Trading, LLC as administrative agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as collateral agent. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed $125.0 million under a senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) secured by all property and assets of the Company with certain exceptions. The Term Loan has a six-year term and bears interest based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or prime rate with interest payable quarterly or more frequently until maturity. The Term Loan contains a maximum leverage covenant and covenants relating to maximum annual capital expenditures and limitations on indebtedness, liens, sale and leaseback transactions, guarantees, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, restricted payments, transactions with affiliates and investments. In addition to quarterly principal payments equal to 0.25% of the initial loan, the Term Loan also provides for mandatory and optional prepayment provisions.
