Debt

On January 19, 2010, we entered into a four-year revolving credit and term loan agreement with SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”). The SunTrust credit facility initially consisted of a $15.0 million committed revolving credit facility and a $15.0 million term loan. The SunTrust term loan required quarterly principal payments of $0.8 million beginning in March 2010, and a final principal payment of $3.0 million due in January 2014 that we paid in December 2013. The SunTrust credit facility is guaranteed by the Company and all of its material domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Prior to the January 2014 amendment to the SunTrust credit facility described below, amounts available under the SunTrust revolver were based on eligible accounts receivable and other factors. Interest on both the revolver and term loan was payable monthly and accrued at an index rate using the one-month LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin as determined by the loan agreement. The applicable interest rate margin varied from 2.25% per annum to 3.5% per annum, dependent on our consolidated leverage ratio, and was determined in accordance with a pricing grid under the SunTrust loan agreement. We also paid a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the $15.0 million SunTrust revolving credit facility.

On January 17, 2014, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility that increased the committed revolving credit facility from $15.0 million to $25.0 million, lowered the applicable margin to a fixed rate of 1.75%, eliminated the provision limiting availability under the revolving credit facility based on eligible accounts receivable and extended the scheduled maturity of the revolving credit facility to January 16, 2015 (subject to earlier termination as provided therein). We also paid a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the SunTrust revolving credit facility through the next amendment date.

On December 23, 2014, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility that reduced the committed revolving credit facility from $25.0 million to $20.0 million. The credit facility bears interest at a rate per annum comprised of a specified index rate based on one-month LIBOR, plus an applicable margin (which was set at 1.75% per annum pursuant to this amendment). The index rate is determined as of the first business day of each calendar month with the provision of a fixed applicable margin of 1.75% per the amendment of the SunTrust credit facility. The credit facility included two financial covenants (a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio) that would apply only if we had borrowings under the credit facility that arose or remained outstanding during the final 30 calendar days of any fiscal quarter. These financial covenants also will be tested, on a modified pro forma basis, in connection with each new borrowing under the credit facility. This amendment also extended the scheduled maturity of the revolving credit facility to December 23, 2017 and lowered the commitment fee to 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The weighted-average interest rate for the commitment fee due on the revolving credit facility was 0.25% in 2016 and 2015.

On December 21, 2016, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility in order to clarify certain definitions and other terms of the facility.

On October 31, 2016, the Company borrowed $3.6 million from its credit facility to finance the acquisition of Lavante, Inc. On February 27, 2017 the Company borrowed $10.0 million from its credit facility to finance the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Cost & Compliance Associates, LLC and Cost & Compliance Associates Limited. Total borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2017 were $13.6 million.

On May 4, 2017, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility, that, among other things, (i) increased the aggregate principal amount of the committed revolving credit facility from $20.0 million to $35.0 million through December 31, 2018, which will be reduced to $30.0 million thereafter, (ii) extended the maturity date of the credit facility to December 31, 2019, (iii) added customary provisions to reflect European Union “bail-in” directive compliance language, and (iv) modified the financial covenants applicable to the Company during the remaining term of the credit facility by (A) revising the maximum leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and (B) adding an additional financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum amount of consolidated adjusted EBITDA.

In addition, the applicable margin used to determine the interest rate per annum on outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, and the ongoing commitment fee payable on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility commitment, both of which previously had been fixed percentages per annum, have been amended and both now will vary based upon our quarterly leverage ratio calculation under the SunTrust credit facility. The applicable margin per annum on interest accruing on all borrowings under the credit facility outstanding on or after May 4, 2017, and the applicable percentage per annum commitment fee accruing on and after that date, respectively will be determined as follows:



Pricing Level	Leverage Ratio	Applicable Margin for LIBOR Index Rate Loans	Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans	Applicable Percentage for Commitment Fee
I	Less than 1.25:1.00	2.25% per annum	1.25% per annum	0.250% per annum
II	Greater than or equal to 1.25:1.00 but less than 1.75:1.00	2.50% per annum	1.50% per annum	0.375% per annum
III	Greater than or equal to 1.75:1.00	2.75% per annum	1.75% per annum	0.375% per annum

As of June 30, 2017 there was $13.6 million in debt outstanding under the revolving SunTrust facility that will be due December 31, 2019. The amount available for additional borrowing under the SunTrust credit facility was $21.4 million as of June 30, 2017. Based on the terms of the credit facility, as amended, the applicable interest rate at June 30, 2017 was approximately 3.50%. As of June 30, 2017 we were required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the revolving SunTrust credit facility.

The SunTrust credit facility includes customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants binding on the Company, including delivery of financial statements and other reports, maintenance of existence, and transactions with affiliates. The negative covenants limit the ability of the Company, among other things, to incur debt, incur liens, make investments, sell assets or declare or pay dividends on its capital stock. The financial covenants included in the credit facility, among other things, limit the amount of capital expenditures the Company can make, set forth maximum leverage and net funded debt ratios for the Company and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and also require the Company to maintain a minimum amount of consolidated EBITDA. In addition, the credit facility includes customary events of default. The Company was in compliance with the covenants in the SunTrust credit facility as of June 30, 2017.
