On February 22, 2011, the Registrant entered into a new $2.25 billion Four-Year Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders to support commercial paper borrowings and for other general corporate purposes. This new facility will expire in February 2015 and replaces the Registrant’s $2.25 billion Amended and Restated Five-Year Credit Agreement (filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Registrant’s Form 8-K dated March 31, 2006), which expired on February 22, 2011. Under the new facility, the Registrant has the option to borrow at LIBOR-based rates plus a spread, subject to a cap and a floor that vary with the Registrant’s debt rating, depending on the credit default swap spread applicable to the Registrant’s senior, unsecured, non-credit enhanced long-term debt. The former facility’s borrowing rate depended upon the Registrant’s senior unsecured debt rating. The remaining provisions of the new facility, including representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, are substantially similar to the provisions of the former facility. In particular, the new facility contains only one financial covenant, relating to interest coverage, and specifically excludes certain entities, including Euro Disney and Hong Kong Disneyland, from any representations, covenants or events of default.
A copy of the new Four-Year Credit Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
