Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On July 12, 2010, EnergySolutions, Inc. (the “Company”), EnergySolutions, LLC (the “Borrower”) and Duratek, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Duratek”), entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to (i) the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “ES Credit Agreement”), dated as of September 23, 2009 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of January 14, 2010), among the Company, the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and (ii) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Duratek Credit Agreement” and together with the ES Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), dated as of September 23, 2009 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of January 14, 2010), among Duratek, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this report shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the respective Credit Agreement, as applicable.

 

After giving effect to the Amendment, the Applicable Margins applicable to Loans under each Credit Agreement will be based on the Leverage Ratio and the applicable long-term credit or corporate family rating assigned to the Company by S&P and Moody’s.  After giving effect to the Amendment, each Credit Agreement provides for a minimum Base Rate of 3.25% and a minimum Eurodollar Rate of 1.75%.

 

Although the Company is still in the process of preparing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, it has entered into the Amendment to ensure that it remains in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreements.  Pursuant to the Amendment, the lenders waived the requirement not to exceed a maximum First Lien Leverage Ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The Company incurred fees of approximately $2.2 million in connection with the Amendment, which will be amortized over the expected remaining life of the Credit Agreements.

transaction; volatility in the financial and credit markets; and unforeseen changes in economic, business, competitive, regulatory, technological, strategic or other circumstances that may prevent or delay the transaction.
