Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 2, 2010, Papa John’s International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a new unsecured $175 million, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), among the Company; each of its subsidiary guarantors named in the Revolving Credit Facility;  RSC Insurance Services Ltd., a Bermuda company; PNC Bank, National Association, as a lender and in its capacity as administrative agent for the lenders; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as a lender and in its capacity as syndication agent for the lenders; Bank of America, N.A., Fifth Third Bank and U.S. Bank, National Association, each as a lender and in its capacity as co-documentation agent for the lenders; Branch Banking and Trust Company, as a lender; and PNC Capital Markets LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, each as joint lead arranger and as joint bookrunner. The Revolving Credit Facility replaced the Company’s prior revolving credit facility, which was terminated upon closing of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility, which will be used for general corporate purposes, includes a $75 million uncommitted accordion feature. The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries and certain future subsidiaries.  Amounts outstanding under the facility at September 2, 2010 were $99 million.  The interest rates under the Revolving Credit Facility vary based upon LIBOR (as defined in the facility) plus 100 to 175 basis points, or other rates at the Company’s option, subject to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. The increment over LIBOR and the commitment fee, which ranges from 17.5 to 25 basis points, are determined quarterly based upon the Company’s ratio of total indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as defined under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Based on the Company’s ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA at September 2, 2010, drawn amounts bear interest at LIBOR plus 125 basis points, and undrawn amounts are subject to a commitment fee of 20 basis points. The Revolving Credit Facility includes restrictive covenants, which include, among other covenants, maintenance of leverage and interest expense coverage ratios similar to the corresponding covenants under the Company’s prior revolving credit facility.

The foregoing description of the Revolving Credit Facility is intended to be a summary, is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual Revolving Credit Facility, which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 2, 2010, in connection with the closing of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company terminated its unsecured $175 million, five-year revolving credit facility dated January 31, 2006, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, RSC Insurance Services, Ltd., a Bermuda company, the lenders party thereto, PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, National City Bank of Kentucky, as co-documentation agent, Bank of America, N.A., as co-documentation agent, Fifth Third Bank, as co-documentation agent, and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as lead arranger and as sole bookrunner (the “Former Credit Facility”). The Former Credit Facility was scheduled to expire on January 31, 2011; there were no penalties for early termination. Under the Former Credit Facility, outstanding balances accrued interest at 50 to 100 basis points over LIBOR. The commitment fee on the unused balance ranged from 12.5 to 20 basis points. The increment over LIBOR and the commitment fee were determined quarterly based upon the ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA, as defined under the Former Credit Facility.
