Long-term Debt

4. Long-term Debt

On January 4, 2013, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as lender and agent (as subsequently amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $115 million, allows for the payment of dividends, has a maturity date of January 4, 2017, and provides that we may repurchase up to $10 million worth of our common stock. The Credit Agreement also provides that we may repurchase additional shares of our common stock in the event we meet certain criteria set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement includes certain debt and acquisition limitations and requires a minimum Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that is greater than or equal to $10 million at all times. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company and our subsidiary and are guaranteed by our subsidiary.

The amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement is limited by a borrowing base predicated on the sum of (a) 85% of Eligible Credit Card Receivables plus (b) either (i) at all times during the year, other than those stated in (ii), 90% of the liquidation value of eligible inventory or (ii) from September 1st through and including December 27th of each year, 92.5% of the liquidation value of eligible inventory, less (c) Availability Reserves and is limited to a ceiling of $115 million, less a minimum availability reserve that is greater than or equal to 10% of the lesser of (a) the Borrowing Base, or (b) the Revolving Credit Ceiling (each term as defined in the Credit Agreement), provided however that we must also maintain Availability that is greater than or equal to $10 million at all times. The lender may increase specifically defined reserves to reduce availability in the event of adverse changes in our industry or our financial condition that are projected to impact the value of our assets pledged as collateral. The lender must exercise reasonable judgment and act in good faith with respect to any changes in the specifically defined reserves.

Interest under the Credit Agreement will accrue, at our election, at a Base Rate or Libor Rate, plus, in each case, an Applicable Margin, which is determined by reference to the level of Availability as defined in the Credit Agreement, with the Applicable Margin for Libor Rate loans ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% and the Applicable Margin for Base Rate (each term as defined in the Credit Agreement) loans ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%. In addition, unused line fees ranging from 0.30% to 0.375% (determined by reference to the level of usage under the Credit Agreement) are also payable on unused commitments.

We utilize standby letters of credit to support certain insurance policies. The aggregate amount of the letters of credit at July 31, 2013, was approximately $0.7 million, which reduces the excess availability under the Credit Agreement.

At July 31, 2013, we had approximately $47.3 million in excess availability, after the availability reserve, under the Credit Agreement. The average rate of interest incurred for the three months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 was 2.5%. The average rates of interest incurred for the six months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 was 2.5%. Deferred financing costs that were amortized into interest expense during the three and six months ended July 31, 2013 are excluded from the calculation of the average rate of interest for each respective period.
