Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 23, 2013, JetBlue Airways Corporation (“JetBlue” or “the Company”) entered into a secured revolving credit facility as described in Item 2.03 of this Form 8-K, which description is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On April 23, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2013 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is among JetBlue, as borrower, the subsidiaries of JetBlue party thereto from time to time, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent.  The Credit Facility consists of a $350 million revolving credit and letter of credit facility.
The Credit Facility provides that JetBlue may from time to time prior to April 23, 2016, borrow, repay and reborrow loans, and have letters of credit issued up to an aggregate amount of $75 million, in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time of up to $350 million. JetBlue has not made any drawings under the Credit Facility as of the date of this report. Any borrowings that JetBlue might in the future make under the Credit Facility are due and payable on April 23, 2016, at which time the Credit Facility terminates.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to the London interbank offering rate, known as LIBOR, plus a margin of 3.75% per annum, or another rate based on certain market interest rates, plus a margin of 2.75% per annum.
The obligations of JetBlue under the Credit Facility are secured by liens on certain take-off and landing rights of JetBlue at John F. Kennedy International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, LaGuardia Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and certain related assets (the “Collateral”).  
The Credit Facility includes affirmative and negative covenants that restrict the Company's ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock or pay dividends. In addition, the Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and unused commitments available under all revolving credit facilities (including the Credit Facility) aggregating not less than $550 million and to maintain a minimum ratio of the borrowing base of the Collateral (determined as the sum of a specified percentage of the appraised value of each type of Collateral) to outstanding obligations under the Credit Facility of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. If the Company does not meet the minimum collateral coverage ratio, it must either provide additional Collateral to secure its obligations under the Credit Facility or repay the loans under the Credit Facility by an amount necessary to maintain compliance with the collateral coverage ratio.
The Credit Facility contains events of default customary for similar financings. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding obligations under the Credit Facility may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately. In addition, if certain change of control events occur with respect to JetBlue, each lender under the Credit Facility has the right to require the Company to repay any loan that it has made under the Credit Facility.
