Note 7 – Debt

 

On August 6, 2008, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Sovereign Business Capital (“Sovereign”), a division of Sovereign Bank, pursuant to which the Company obtained an $8,000 credit facility from Sovereign (the “Sovereign Financing”). The Company and Sovereign entered into a series of amendments to the foregoing Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (as so amended, the “Sovereign Agreement”) which, among other things, increased the Sovereign Financing to $12,850 consisting of (i) a $8,500 asset-based revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) and (ii) a $4,350 term loan facility (“Term Loan”), each expiring on February 1, 2015. The amounts which may be borrowed under the Revolver are based on certain percentages of Eligible Receivables and Eligible Inventory, as such terms are defined in the Sovereign Agreement. The obligations of the Company under the Sovereign Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.

 

Under the Sovereign Agreement, the Revolver bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate announced from time to time by Sovereign (“Prime”) plus 0.75% or the LIBOR rate plus 3.50%. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to Prime plus 1.00% or the LIBOR rate plus 3.75%. Prime was 3.25% at March 31, 2013. LIBOR rate loans under the Sovereign Agreement may be borrowed for interest periods of one, three or six months. The LIBOR rates for interest periods of one-month, three-months and six-months were 0.20%, 0.28% and 0.44%, respectively, at March 31, 2013. The interest rates above became effective on April 1, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amendment described below.

 

On March 27, 2013, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Sovereign (the “Fourth Amendment”), to amend the Sovereign Financing. The Fourth Amendment (i) increased the interest rates applicable to the Revolver and the Term Loan by one half of one percent, effective as of April 1, 2013, subject to being reduced by one quarter of one percent effective as of the date on which the Company delivers to Sovereign its financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2013, evidencing compliance with the Sovereign Agreement and continuing compliance with the Sovereign Agreement through such date of delivery, and further reduced by an additional one quarter of one percent, effective as of the date on which the Company delivers to Sovereign its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, evidencing compliance with the Sovereign Agreement and continuing compliance with the Sovereign Agreement through such date of delivery; (ii) retroactively effective as of December 31, 2012, eliminated the minimum net income covenant and replaced the same with a minimum EBITDA covenant tested as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and as of and for each subsequent fiscal year ending on December 31 thereafter, (iii) modified the definition of Net Income (as defined in the Sovereign Agreement), retroactively effective as of December 31, 2012; and (iv) modified the fixed charge coverage ratio, effective for each of the trailing four fiscal quarters ending in 2013.

 

The outstanding principal balance of the Revolver was $1,745 at March 31, 2013. The Term Loan requires equal monthly principal payments of approximately $18 each, plus interest, with the remaining balance due at maturity. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan was $4,133 at March 31, 2013.

 

The Sovereign Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as affirmative and negative covenants, including certain financial covenants. The Sovereign Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts when due.
