Credit Agreement

The Company’s Credit Agreement provides for a $15,000 five-year Revolving Credit Facility and a $50,000 five-year Term Loan (collectively the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities are subject to terms defined in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings bear interest at either the Base Rate plus a margin of 0.25% to 2.00% (currently 1.50%) or the Eurocurrency Rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 3.00% (currently 2.00%), in each case depending on the Company’s ratio of total funded indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (the “Total Leverage Ratio”).

Principal installments are payable on the Term Loan in varying percentages quarterly through September 30, 2018 with a balloon payment at maturity. The Senior Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The average outstanding borrowings for 2015 for the Senior Credit Facilities were $41,000. At December 31, 2015, there was approximately $15,000 available under the Senior Credit Facilities.

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants related to maximum leverage and minimum fixed charge coverage. The Credit Agreement also includes other covenants and restrictions, including limits on the amount of certain types of capital expenditures. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2015.

Under the Company’s Note Agreement, the Company sold $30,000 of 14.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due October 18, 2019 (the “Notes”) to Prudential Capital Partners IV, L.P. and its affiliates in a private placement. The interest rate on the Notes is 14.50% with 13.00% payable in cash and 1.50% payable in-kind, quarterly in arrears and the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest is due on October 18, 2019. The Company may prepay the Notes at any time after October 18, 2016, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Deferred Financing Fees
