Revolving Credit Facility

On April 1, 2013, the Company amended its secured senior revolving credit facility (the "amended senior credit facility"). The amended senior credit facility extends the maturity date of the facility to April 1, 2018 and provides for a maximum of $110,000 of revolving credit, subject to borrowing base availability, including limited amounts of credit in the form of letters of credit and swingline loans. The borrowing base is equal to specified percentages of the Company's eligible accounts receivable, inventories, fixed assets and real property less reserves established, from time to time, by the administrative agent under the facility.

At the Company's election, revolving loans under the amended senior credit facility bear interest at annual rates equal to either (a) LIBOR for 1, 2 or 3 month periods, as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin of either 1.50%, 1.75% or 2.00%, or (b) the higher of the prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, or a daily LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin of either 0.50%, 0.75% or 1.00%. The applicable margin is determined based on availability under the amended senior credit facility with margins increasing as availability decreases. The Company also pays an unused line fee on the average amount by which the aggregate commitments exceed utilization of the senior credit facility equal to 0.375% per annum.

The amended senior credit facility includes certain affirmative and negative covenants that impose restrictions on the Company's financial and business operations, including limitations on debt, liens, investments, fundamental changes in the Company's business, asset dispositions, dividends and other similar restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, payments and modifications of certain existing debt, future negative pledges, and changes in the nature of the Company's business. The Company is also required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0 during any period that borrowing availability is less than $12,100.

On July 1, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of Robertex, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to its senior credit facility to include the relevant assets in the Company's borrowing base, as well as, allow for the seller-financed note within the Robertex securities purchase agreement.

On July 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment to its senior credit facility. The amendment increased the size of the revolver portion of the credit facility by $20,000 to a maximum of $130,000 (contingent on availability). In addition, the amendment provided for an increase in the fixed asset and real property borrowing bases, an increase in the level of the availability “trigger level” to $14,440 from $12,100, and extended the term of the facility to August 1, 2018.

The Company can use the proceeds of the amended senior credit facility for general corporate purposes, including financing acquisitions and refinancing other indebtedness. As of September 28, 2013, the unused borrowing availability under the amended senior credit facility was $26,374.

Mortgage Note Payable

On April 1, 2013, in connection with the amended senior credit facility, the Company terminated the five-year $11,063 mortgage loan which had a balance of $9,833. The mortgage loan was secured by the Company's Susan Street real estate and liens secondary to the senior credit facility. The mortgage loan was scheduled to mature on September 13, 2016. Prior to the termination, the mortgage loan bore interest at a variable rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 3.00% and was payable in equal monthly installments of principal of $61, plus interest calculated on the declining balance of the mortgage loan, with a final payment of $7,436 due on maturity.
