2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility

On December 11, 2013, we entered into a new $200.0 million five-year senior secured multi-currency revolving credit facility (2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility) agreement (2013 Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of lenders. All obligations under the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by certain domestic subsidiaries. Collateral under the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility includes a 100% stock pledge of domestic subsidiaries and a 65% stock pledge of all first-tier foreign subsidiaries, excluding our Japanese subsidiary. All domestic tangible and intangible personal property, excluding any real property with a value of less than $5 million, are also pledged as collateral.

Borrowings under the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility, other than swingline loans, bear interest at our option of either (i) a spread ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% over the Base Rate (as described below), or (ii) a spread ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% over the LIBOR rate, and in each case fluctuating in accordance with changes in our leverage ratio, as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement. The "Base Rate" is the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, plus 0.50%, (ii) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, and (iii) a daily rate equal to the one-month LIBOR rate, plus 1.00%. Swingline loans bear interest of a spread ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% over the Base Rate. We pay an unused line fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% per annum on the unused portion of the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are subject to various requirements, including covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) a maximum total leverage ratio of 3.00 and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00. We are in compliance with the maximum total leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio as of March 29, 2015. The 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, notice provisions and events of default, including change of control, cross-defaults to other debt, and judgment defaults. Upon a default under the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility, including the non-payment of principal or interest, our obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the assets securing such obligations may be sold.

As of March 29, 2015, $1.4 million issued in letters of credit, were outstanding under the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Financing Liability

In June 2011, we sold, to a financial institution in Spain, rights to future customer receivables resulting from the negotiated extension of previously executed sales-type lease arrangements, whose receivables were previously sold. The 2011 transaction qualified as a legal sale without recourse. However, until the receivables are recognized, the proceeds from the fiscal 2011 legal sale are accounted for as a financing arrangement and reflected as Financing Liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The balance of the financing liability is $30.1 million and $33.1 million as of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively. We impute a non-cash interest charge on the financing liability using a rate of 6.365%, which we recognize as interest expense, until our right to recognize the legal sales permits us to de-recognize the liability and record operating income on the sale. We recognized interest expense related to the financing liability of $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, respectively.
 
During fiscal 2016 through 2018, when we are permitted to recognize the lease receivables upon the commencement of the lease extensions, we expect to de-recognize both the associated receivables and the related financing liability and record other operating income on the sale. At this point, our obligation under the financing liability will have been extinguished.

In March 2015, we again sold rights to future customer receivables to a financial institution in Spain resulting from the negotiated extension of previously executed sales-type lease arrangements. The 2015 transaction qualified as a legal sale without recourse. We recognized $0.4 million of income on the sale recorded as Other Operating Income on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. A portion of the receivables were previously sold to another financial institution and we did not complete the reacquisition of these receivables until after the end of the first quarter. Therefore, a portion of the proceeds from the fiscal 2015 legal sale are accounted for as a financing arrangement and reflected as Financing Liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets until the reacquisition of the receivables is completed in the second quarter. The balance of the financing liability is $1.1 million as of March 29, 2015.
