Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Financial Obliga
On March 23, 2009, Mattel, Inc. ("Mattel") entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "credit facility"), by and among Mattel, as borrower, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, Banc of America Securities LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole book manager, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Plc, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Société Générale, as co-syndication agents, Citicorp USA, Inc., Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. and Merchants & Traders Trust Company, as co-managing agents, and the other financial institutions party thereto.
The credit facility amended and restated Mattel's Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2005, to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the credit facility to March 23, 2012, (ii) reduce aggregate commitments under the credit facility to $880 million, with an "accordion feature," which would allow Mattel to increase the aggregate availability under the credit facility to $1.08 billion under certain circumstances, (iii) add an interest rate floor equal to 30 day LIBOR plus 1.00% for base rate loans under the credit facility, (iv) increase the applicable interest rate margins to a range of 2.00% to 3.00% above the applicable base rate for base rate loans, and 2.5% to 3.5% above the applicable LIBOR rate for Eurodollar rate loans, in each case depending on Mattel's senior unsecured long term debt rating, (v) increase commitment fees to a range of 0.25% to 0.75% of the unused commitments under the credit facility (treating purchases of receivables under the receivables sales facility (described below) as uses of commitments), and (vi) replace the consolidated-debt to capital ratio that Mattel is required to maintain under the credit facility with a consolidated-debt to EBITDA ratio.
On March 23, 2009, in connection with the execution of the credit facility, Mattel executed Amendment No. 3 to First Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement (the "receivables sales facility"), by and among Mattel Factoring, Inc., as transferor, Mattel, as servicer, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto. If receivables are sold under the receivables sales facility, the use of that facility reduces availability under the credit facility. The amendment to the receivables sales facility, among other things, (i) extended the maturity date of the receivables sales facility to March 23, 2012, and (ii) incorporated the credit facility's increased applicable interest rate margins described above.
Bank of America and its affiliates have various banking arrangements with Mattel in the ordinary course of business, for which Bank of America and its affiliates receive customary fees and expenses.
The foregoing summary of the amendments to the credit facility and to the receivables sales facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual texts of such agreements, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

(b) Pro forma financial information: None
(c) Shell company transactions: None
