~~Section~~On September 4, 2009, Guangzhou Termbray Electronics Technology Company Limited (“GZTET”), a Chinese subsidiary of Viasystems, Inc. (the “Company”), consummated a credit facility contract, the terms of which were agreed by the parties on August 17, 2009, and received a lending commitment for a 200 million Renminbi 5(approximately -US ~~Corporate~~$29.3 ~~Governance~~million) revolving credit facility (the “Guangzhou 2009 Credit Facility”) from China Construction Bank, Guangzhou Economic and ~~Management~~Technical Development District Branch (“CCB”). The Guangzhou 2009 Credit Facility provides for borrowings denominated in Renminbi and foreign currencies, including the U.S. Dollar. The borrowings under the Guangzhou 2009 Credit Facility are secured by a mortgage lien on the buildings and land lease at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Guangzhou, China. This revolving credit facility is renewable annually beginning on June 30, 2010. Loans under the credit facility will bear interest at the rate of (i) LIBOR plus a margin negotiated prior to each US dollar denominated loan or (ii) the interest rate quoted by the Peoples Bank of China minus 10% for Renminbi denominated loans. The Guangzhou 2009 Credit Facility agreement has certain restrictions and other covenants that are customary for similar credit arrangements. There are no financial covenants contained in the 2009 Guangzhou Credit Facility. The Guangzhou 2009 Credit Facility provides for customary events of default including breaches of statutory or contractual obligations, bankruptcy or insolvency events, transfers of material assets, mergers or acquisitions of GZTET, suspension of operations of GZTET, failure to pay debts when due, loss of mortgaged property, and invalidation of CCB’s security interests.

2On September 8, 2009, the Company issued a press release, which is filed as Exhibit 99.9 hereto and incorporated by reference, announcing the execution of the Guangzhou 2009 Credit Facility.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 4, 2009, in connection with the execution of the Guangzhou 2009 Credit Facility the Company provided a notice to voluntarily prepay and cancel the credit agreement that we had previously entered into as of August 17, 2006 (the “2006 Credit Agreement”) with UBS AG Hong Kong Branch and UBS AG, Singapore Branch (together “UBS”). The 2006 Credit Agreement was for a term of four years and provided a $60 million revolving credit facility and a $20 million term loan facility.

Borrowings under the 2006 Credit Agreement bore interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2% per annum. The 2006 Credit Agreement contained customary business covenants that set limits on our ability to pay dividends, to acquire companies, to invest in joint ventures, to dispose of assets and to incur additional debt, among other customary limitations. Customary financial covenants also defined a maximum Net Debt-to-EBITDA ratio, a minimum EBITDA-to-Net Interest Expense ratio and a maximum annual limits on capital expenditures.

As a result of the prepayment and cancellation of the 2006 Credit Agreement, we will take a charge in the third quarter of 2009 of approximately $0.7 million in conjunction with the write off of related unamortized deferred financing costs.
