The Credit Agreement refinances the loans and commitments outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Credit Facilities”) and provides for senior secured credit facilities comprised of (x) a $2 billion revolving loan facility and (y) a $900.0 million farm credit term loan A facility, which is partially comprised of term A-1 loans and term A-3 loans that were cashlessly rolled from the Existing Credit Agreement.
