On July 31, 2012, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) entered into a $230 million five-year Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which consisted of a $100 million Term Loan Facility and a $130 million Revolving Credit Facility (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). On July 24, 2015, the Company and the Guarantors amended the Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) in order to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $300 million, eliminate the Term Loan Facility and extend the maturity date to five years from the closing date. On July 24, 2015, the Company borrowed $82.5 million under the Amended Credit Agreement and paid off the remaining balance of its Term Loan Facility.

 

The Amended Credit Agreement includes a $25 million letter of credit sublimit and a $10 million swingline loan sublimit. The Company also has an option to increase the size of the borrowing capacity by up to an aggregate of $200 million in additional commitments, subject to certain conditions.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility, other than swingline loans, will bear interest at the Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin or, at the option of the Company, a base rate (defined as the highest of the Wells Fargo prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% and the Eurodollar Base Rate plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin. Swingline loans accrue interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin for base rate loans. The applicable margins for the Eurodollar rate loans range from 1.25% to 2.00% and for base rate loans range from 0.25% to 1.00%, depending in each case, on the leverage ratio as defined in the Agreement.

 

The Amended Credit Agreement contains various conditions, covenants and representations with which the Company must be in compliance in order to borrow funds and to avoid an event of default, including financial covenants that the Company must maintain a leverage ratio (funded debt/EBITDA) of no more than 3.00 to 1 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (EBITDA/interest payments, income taxes and capital expenditures) of no less than 1.25 to 1. As of April 2, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and the Guarantors.

 

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

 

In connection with the $100 million borrowed under the Credit Facilities, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement as a hedge against the Eurodollar portion of such variable interest payments. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Company effectively converted the Eurodollar portion of the interest on the Credit Facilities to a fixed interest rate of 0.764% through July 2017. As of April 2, 2016, the combined interest rate of the Credit Facilities (which includes an applicable margin) and the interest rate swap was 2.264%.
