NOTE 11: INDEBTEDNESS

On February 3, 2012, the Company amended and restated its existing credit facility, dated June 29, 2007, with a new $450.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on February 3, 2017. The Company may use the revolving line of credit for general corporate purposes, including strategic acquisitions, stock buy-backs and cash dividends. Under the Company’s amended credit agreement, the Company can increase its revolving credit facility by up to $200.0 million subject to certain limitations and satisfaction of certain conditions, including compliance with certain financial covenants.

Loans made pursuant to the revolving credit facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time until February 3, 2017, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions on the date of any such borrowing. Obligations under the credit facility are secured by a first priority security interest in (i) the capital stock of each present and future subsidiary (with limitations on foreign subsidiaries) and (ii) all present and future property and assets of the Company (with various limitations and exceptions).  Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, at (i) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), plus additional percentage points based on the Company’s leverage ratio or (ii) the Base Rate (a rate based on the higher of (a) the prime rate announced from time-to-time by Bank of America, N.A., (b) the Federal Reserve System’s federal funds rate, plus .50% or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%; Base Rate is defined in detail in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), plus additional percentage points based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

The senior credit agreement contains a letter of credit subfacility that allows for the issuance of letters of credit and swing-line loans. Subject to the ability to increase the credit facility by up to $200.0 million as mentioned above, the sum of the outstanding revolver balance plus any outstanding letters of credit and swing-line loans cannot exceed $450.0 million. The amount available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility is reduced by the total outstanding letters of credit and swing-line loans.

The Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee equal to a rate per annum calculated as the product of the applicable rate based upon the Company’s leverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement, times the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. In addition, the Company is required to pay an annual letter of credit fee equal to the applicable rate as set forth in the credit agreement times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such letter of credit.

In addition, the credit agreement also contains various affirmative and negative covenants that among other things, limit, subject to certain exceptions, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and capital expenditures in excess of a specified amount in any fiscal year. The Company was in compliance with the credit agreement covenants at June 30, 2012.

In connection with the refinancing of the credit facility during the first quarter of 2012, the Company wrote-off $0.5 million of unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the previous credit facility and incurred $2.8 million in new fees that will be amortized as a component of interest expense over the life of the facility.
