The Tenth Amendment and Fourth Amendment are referred to collectively herein as the "2021 Amendments." The term loan A facility under the Term Loan A Agreement is referred to herein as the "Term Loan A Facility". The term loan B facility and revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement are referred to herein as the "Term Loan B Facility" and "Revolving Credit Facility", respectively. The 2021 Amendments: •extend the maturity for approximately$237 million of the approximately$434 million balance of the Term Loan A Facility (the "Extended Term Loan A Facility") after giving effect to the application of a$250 million pay down of the Term Loan A Facility using a portion of the net proceeds from theJanuary 11, 2021 issuance of the 5.75% Senior Notes due 2029, fromFebruary 2023 toFebruary 2025 , subject to the foregoing: •if on or beforeMarch 2, 2023 , the 4.875% Senior Notes have not been extended, refinanced or replaced to have a maturity date afterMay 10, 2025 (or are not otherwise discharged, defeased or repaid byMarch 2, 2023 ), the maturity date of the Extended Term Loan A Facility will beMarch 2, 2023 ; •if on or beforeNovember 9, 2024 , the Term Loan B Facility is not extended, refinanced or replaced to have a maturity date afterMay 10, 2025 (or otherwise repaid prior toNovember 9, 2024 ), the maturity date of the Extended Term Loan A Facility will beNovember 9, 2024 ; •extend the maturity of approximately$948 million of the$1,425 million Revolving Credit Facility (the "Extended Revolving Credit Facility") fromFebruary 2023 toFebruary 2025 , subject to the earlier springing maturity dates applicable to the Extended Term Loan A Facility described above; and •make certain modifications to the Credit Agreement and Term Loan A Agreement, including amendments that reduce the maximum permitted senior secured leverage ratio (the financial covenant under such agreements) for the applicable trailing twelve-month period to below the levels that had been permitted under the amendments to the Credit Agreement and Term Loan A Agreement that we entered into onJuly 24, 2020 (collectively, the "2020 Amendments"), as follows: Fiscal Quarter Ending Senior Secured Leverage RatioDecember 31, 2020 toJune 30, 2021 5.25 to 1.00September 30, 2021 toMarch 31, 2022 5.00 to 1.00June 30, 2022 and thereafter 4.75 to 1.00
Th
The other covenants in the Credit Agreement and Term Loan A Agreement that were tightened under the 2020 Amendments will remain in place under the 2021 Amendments until the Company issues its financial results for the third quarter of 2021 and concurrently delivers an officer's certificate to its lenders showing compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio set forth in the above table, subject to earlier termination, which we refer to as the covenant period. IfRealogy Group's senior secured leverage ratio does not exceed 5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter endingJune 30, 2021 (as compared to 5.50 to 1.00 under the 2020 Amendments), the covenant period will end at the timeRealogy Group delivers the compliance certificate to the lenders for such period; however, in either instance, the gradual step down in the senior secured leverage ratio described above will continue to apply. As was the case under the 2020 Amendments,Realogy Group also may elect to end the covenant period at any time, provided the senior secured leverage ratio does not exceed 4.75 to 1.00 as of the most recently -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ended quarter for which financial statements have been delivered. In such event, the senior secured leverage ratio will reset to the pre-amendment level of 4.75 to 1.00 thereafter. Under the 2021 Amendments, quarterly amortization payments are required on the Extended Term Loan A Facility, commencing with the quarter endingJune 30, 2021 , based on a percentage of the principal amount of Extended Term Loan A Facility outstanding as of the date of the Fourth Amendment, as follows: 0.625% per quarter fromJune 30, 2021 toMarch 31, 2022 ; 1.25% per quarter fromJune 30, 2022 toMarch 31, 2023 ; 1.875% per quarter fromJune 30, 2023 toMarch 31, 2024 ; and 2.50% per quarter for periods ending on or afterJune 30, 2024 , with the balance of the Extended Term Loan A Facility due at maturity. No amortization payments are required on the portion of the Term Loan A Facility that was not extended.
