Note Payable
 
Effective May 30, 2012, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC entered into a variable rate credit agreement (the "2012 Mortgage") with Rabobank, N.A., to refinance a pre-existing mortgage.  The 2012 Mortgage has an original principal balance of $16.1 million and bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%.  One month LIBOR was 0.20% at April 30, 2013. The 2012 Mortgage matures in June 2022 and is secured by the Company's headquarters located in Santa Barbara, California. In conjunction with the 2012 Mortgage, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC entered into an interest rate swap with Rabobank, N.A. The swap agreement has an initial notional amount of $16.1 million and a schedule matching that of the underlying loan that synthetically fixes the interest rate on the debt at 4.31% for the entire term of the 2012 Mortgage. The terms of the 2012 Mortgage provide for QAD Ortega Hill, LLC to make net monthly payments of $88,100 consisting of principal and interest and one final payment of $11.7 million. The unpaid balance as of April 30, 2013 was $15.8 million.
 
Credit Facility

On July 8, 2011, the Company entered into an unsecured credit agreement with Rabobank, N.A. (the "Facility"). The Facility provided a one-year commitment through July 15, 2012 for a $20 million line of credit for working capital or other business needs. The Company paid a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum of the daily average of the unused portion of the $20 million Facility. Borrowings under the Facility bore interest at a rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 0.75%. On July 13, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the Facility that extended the maturity of the Facility from July 15, 2012 to July 15, 2014. The amendment did not provide for any change in the variable rate of interest or debt covenants.

The Facility provides that the Company maintain certain financial and operating ratios which include, among other provisions, minimum liquidity on a consolidated basis of $25 million in cash and equivalents at all times, a current ratio (calculated using current liabilities excluding deferred revenue) of not less than 1.3 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, a leverage ratio of not more than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal year. The Facility also contains customary covenants that could restrict the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness. At April 30, 2013, the effective borrowing rate would have been 0.95%.

As of April 30, 2013, there were no borrowings under the Facility and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.
