The aggregate principal amount of $200 million is available under the Credit Facility through: (i) a $110 million five-year revolving credit facility (U.S. Revolving Credit Facility); (ii) the Australian dollar equivalent of a $40 million five-year revolving credit facility (Australian Sub-Facility); and (iii) a $50 million term loan facility (Term Loan Facility).
