On November 1, 2011, we entered into a credit agreement for a new credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), through our wholly-owned Steiner U.S. Holdings, Inc. subsidiary (the "Borrower"), with a group of lenders including SunTrust Bank, our then existing lender. The Credit Facility consists of a $60.0 million revolving credit facility with a $5.0 million Swing Line sub-facility and a $5.0 million Letter of Credit sub-facility, (referred to collectively as the "Revolving Facility"), with a termination date of November 1, 2016, and a term loan facility, (referred to as the "Term Facility"), in the aggregate principal amount equal to $165.0 million and with a maturity date of November 1, 2016.  Concurrently with the effectiveness of the Credit Facility, our then existing facility was terminated. On the closing of the Credit Facility, the entire amount of the Term Facility was drawn to finance a portion of the acquisition (the "Merger Transaction") of Ideal Image. In addition, extensions of credit under the Credit Facility were used to pay certain fees and expenses associated with the Credit Facility and the Merger Transaction and may in the future be used (i) for capital expenditures, (ii) to finance acquisitions permitted under the credit agreement, and (iii) for working capital and general corporate purposes, including letters of credit.

Interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility accrues at either a base rate, an Adjusted LIBO Rate or an Index Rate, at Borrower's election, plus, in each case, an applicable margin.  In the case of Adjusted LIBO Rate Loans, the applicable margin ranges from 1.75% - 2.75% per annum, based upon the Company's and its subsidiaries' financial performance.  Unpaid principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, is due on the maturity date, November 1, 2016. Interest on all outstanding Adjusted LIBO Rate loans is payable on the last day of each interest period applicable thereto, and, in the case of any Adjusted LIBO Rate loans having an interest period in excess of three (3) months or ninety (90) days, respectively, on each day which occurs every three (3) months or ninety (90) days, as the case may be, after the initial date of such interest period, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date November 1, 2016, or earlier, pursuant to certain events, as described in the credit agreement or the maturity date, as the case may be.  Interest on each base rate loan and LIBOR Index Rate Loan is payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month and on the maturity date of such Loan, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.  Interest on any loan which is converted from one interest rate to another interest rate or which is repaid or prepaid is payable on the date of the conversion or on the date of any such repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid) of such loan. Principal under the Term Facility is payable in quarterly installments beginning March 31, 2012. At December 31, 2011, our borrowing rate was 3.75%.

All of Borrower's obligations under the Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.  The obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our present and future assets.

The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including limitations on dividends, capital expenditures and funded debt, and requirements to maintain prescribed interest expense and fixed charge coverage ratios. We are in compliance with these covenants as of the date of this report.  Our prior credit agreement contained similar covenants and as of December 31, 2011, and through the termination of that facility, we were in compliance with these covenants. Other limitations on capital expenditures, or on other operational matters, could apply in the future under the credit agreement.

All of our long-term debt is denominated in U.S. dollars. Future maturities as of December 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):
