LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

On March 24, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the expiration date of its revolving credit facility with two banks from March 17, 2016 to March 16, 2020. The facility provides for a revolving line of credit under which the maximum credit available to the Company at any one time automatically adjusts upwards and downwards on a periodic basis among “low”, “medium” and “high” levels (each a “Commitment Level”), as follows:
 
Commitment Period Description
 
Commitment Period Time Frame
 
Commitment Level
Low
 
February 1 to June 30 (5 months)
 
$50,000,000
Medium
 
July 1 to October 31 (4 months)
 
$100,000,000
High
 
November 1 to January 31 (3 months)
 
$150,000,000

The Company has the option to increase the Commitment Level during part of any Low Commitment Period from $50,000,000 to an amount not less than $62,500,000 and not in excess of $125,000,000; provided, however, that the Commitment Level must remain at $50,000,000 for at least three consecutive months during each Low Commitment Period. The Company has the option to increase the Commitment Level during all or part of any Medium Commitment Period from $100,000,000 to an amount not in excess $125,000,000. Fifteen days prior written notice is required for the Company to exercise an option to increase the Commitment Level with respect to a particular Low Commitment Period or Medium Commitment Period. The Company may exercise an option to increase the Commitment Level no more than three times each calendar year. The Company may issue up to $20,000,000 of letters of credit under the facility.
Interest on the facility accrues at per annum rates equal to, at the Company’s option, either one-, two-, or three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 0.95%, or the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 0.95%. In addition to interest, the Company is required to pay “unused” fees equal to 0.275% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment Level that is then applicable. As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no amounts outstanding under the facility and there were no borrowings under the facility during fiscal 2017 and 2016. Outstanding letters of credit under the facility were $1,097,000 and $1,570,000 at March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These letters of credit guarantee funding of workers compensation claims in fiscal 2017 and 2016 and also guarantee the funding of obligations to a certain vendor in fiscal 2016.
The agreement governing the facility contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain as of the last day of each fiscal quarter: (i) a tangible net worth of not less than $170,000,000, and (ii) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.50 to 1.00.  The facility also contains covenants that address, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness; grant liens on their assets; engage in mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and/or sale–leaseback transactions; pay dividends and make other distributions in respect of their capital stock; make investments and capital expenditures; and enter into “negative pledge” agreements with respect to their assets. The restriction on the payment of dividends applies only upon the occurrence and continuance of a Company default under the facility, or when a dividend payment would give rise to such a default. The Company is in compliance with all financial debt covenants as of March 31, 2017.
The Company leases certain equipment under capital leases. The future minimum annual lease payments, including interest, associated with the capital lease obligations are as follows (in thousands):
