6. DEBT

The Company’s debt consists of a revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness, and the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 1.3%.

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 20, 2014, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”) with Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BB&T”), as a Lender, Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer; Citibank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., each as a Lender, and BB&T Capital Markets, as Lead Arranger. The Second Amended Credit Agreement amended and restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 6, 2012 by and among the Company, as borrower; BB&T as Lender, Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer and a Collateral Agent; Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as a Lender and a Collateral Agent; and BB&T Capital Markets, as Lead Arranger, and as further amended (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). Under the Prior Credit Agreement, BB&T and Wells Fargo provided the Company with one or more revolving loans in a collective maximum principal amount of $100 million. The Second Amended Credit Agreement terminated the Revolver Notes and Swing Advance Notes under the Prior Credit Agreement. No additional fees were due or owing as a result of the termination of the aforementioned agreements.

The Second Amended Credit Agreement provides the Company with one or more revolving loans in a collective maximum principal amount of $150 million from January 1 through June 30 of each year, reducing to a maximum principal amount of $100 million from July 1 through December 31 of each year (the “Revolving Loan Limit”) throughout the term, which ends November 20, 2019.

Included within the Revolving Loan Limit are sublimits for a letter of credit facility in an amount not to exceed $15 million and swing advances in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $5 million. The Revolver Loans, the Letter of Credit Facility and the Swing Advance loans are for the purpose of raising working capital and supporting general business operations. The Company is not obligated to borrow any amount under the Revolving Loan Limit. Additionally, within the Revolving Loan Limit, the Company may borrow, repay, and reborrow, at any time or from time to time while the Revolving Loans are in effect.

 

Base Rate Advances (as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement) under the Revolver Loans and the Swing Advances accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement) and Euro-dollar Advances for the Revolver Loans and Swing Advances accrue interest at the Adjusted London InterBank Offered Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement). Repayment of all then outstanding principal, interest, fees and costs is due on November 20, 2019.

The Company shall reimburse BB&T for all amounts payable, including interest, under a Letter of Credit at the earlier of (i) the date set forth in the application or (ii) one business day after the payment under such Letter of Credit by BB&T.

The Second Amended Credit Agreement is secured by interest in real property owned by us and certain collateral (as described in the Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement and Intellectual Property Security Agreement).

At December 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver Loans and additional available borrowing capacity of approximately $100 million.

Compliance with Debt Covenants and Restrictions. The Company’s ability to make scheduled principal and interest payments, borrow and repay amounts under any outstanding revolving credit facility and continue to comply with any loan covenants depends primarily on its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations. To remain in compliance with financial covenants in the Second Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain specified financial ratios based on levels of debt, fixed charges, and earnings (excluding extraordinary gains and extraordinary non-cash losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, all of which are subject to the risks of the business, some of which are discussed in this report under “Risk Factors.” The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in Second Amended Credit Agreement at December 31, 2014. Under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, the material financial covenants and restrictions are as follows:

 

  (a) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is not permitted to be less than 1.5 to 1.0, measured as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2014.

 

  (b) Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio. The Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio is not permitted to exceed 3.00 to 1.0 measured as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter (and in the case of Consolidated EBITDA, for the four-quarter period ending on such date).

Failure to comply with the financial covenants in the Second Amended Credit Agreement could be considered a default of repayment obligations and, among other remedies, could accelerate payment of any amounts outstanding under the Second Amended Credit Agreement.
