INDEBTEDNESS

On February 19, 2014, the Company and BMO Harris Bank N.A. entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “BMO Credit Agreement”),  which provides the Company a $27.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $3.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The proceeds of the Company’s initial borrowing under the BMO Credit Agreement were used to repay the PrivateBank Loan and Security Agreement (the “PB Loan Agreement”), finance the acquisition of FTW (as defined in Note 17), and pay certain fees and expenses related to the negotiation and consummation of the BMO Credit Agreement and the acquisition of FWP. All extensions of credit under the BMO Credit Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in and lien upon substantially all present and future assets and properties of the Company.

The BMO Credit Agreement has an expiration date of February 17, 2017 and its borrowing base is determined by eligible inventory and accounts receivable, machinery and equipment and owned real estate, amounting to $25.4 million at December 31, 2014. The borrowing base under the BMO Credit Agreement is reduced by the outstanding amount of standby and commercial letters of credit. Currently, the Company’s largest letters of credit relate to its casualty insurance programs. Total outstanding letters of credit were $1.1 million at December 31, 2014. There was $22.0 million outstanding under the BMO Credit Agreement and $7.7 million outstanding under the PB Loan Agreement as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the Borrower’s option, (a) the Base Rate plus applicable Base Rate Margin, which varies from 0.50% to 1.00% based on average excess availability, or (b) reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin, which varies from 1.50% to 2.00% based on average excess availability. The Base Rate is the greatest of (i) BMO Harris’ prime commercial rate as in effect on such day, (ii) the sum of the Fed Funds rate for such day plus 0.5%, and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate for one month plus 1.50%. The Eurodollar Rate is the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate, as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source) with a term equivalent to the applicable one, two, three or six month interest period. An unused commitment fee of 25 basis points per annum is payable quarterly on the average unused amount of the BMO Credit Agreement. The BMO Credit Agreement includes financial covenants regarding fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum annual capital expenditures. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants at December 31, 2014.

The BMO Credit Agreement requires a lockbox agreement which provides receipts (subject to certain exceptions) to be swept daily to reduce borrowings outstanding and allows for certain credit reserves to be set from time to time. These provisions in the BMO Credit Agreement cause the BMO Credit Agreement to be classified as a current liability, per guidance in the Accounting Standards Codification established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The Company does not expect to repay, or be required to repay, within one year, the balance of the BMO Credit Agreement, which is classified as a current liability. The BMO Credit Agreement does not expire or have a maturity date within one year, but rather has a final expiration date of February 17, 2017.

All of the debt under the BMO Credit Agreement is re-priced to current rates at frequent intervals.  Therefore, its fair value approximates its carrying value at December 31, 2014.  For the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had amortization of debt issuance costs, included within interest expense, of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

The PB Loan Agreement, as amended, was a $15.0 million revolving credit facility. The proceeds of the Borrowers’ initial borrowing under the PB Loan Agreement were used to repay the Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, as amended (“PNC Credit Agreement”), with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”) and pay fees and expenses associated with the negotiation and consummation of the credit facility.  All extensions of credit under the PB Loan Agreement were collateralized by a first priority security interest in and lien upon substantially all present and future assets and properties of the Company and the Borrowers.  The Company guaranteed the obligations of the Borrowers under the PB Loan Agreement.  There was $7.7 million outstanding under the PB Loan Agreement as of December 31, 2013. The PB Loan Agreement had an expiration date of September 29, 2014 and its borrowing base was determined by eligible inventory and accounts receivable, amounting to $12.0 million at December 31, 2013.  The Company’s borrowing base under the PB Loan Agreement is reduced by the outstanding amount of standby and commercial letters of credit. The PB Loan Agreement required the Company to have a minimum level of availability such that eligible collateral must exceed the sum of its outstanding borrowings and letters of credit by $1.3 million. Total outstanding letters of credit were $1.4 million at December 31, 2013. Our unused borrowing availability at December 31, 2013 under the PB Loan Agreement was $1.6 million. Borrowings under the PB Loan Agreement beared interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Prime Rate Revolving Loans Applicable Margin plus the Prime Rate (each as defined in the PB Loan Agreement), or an aggregate of 4.75% at December 31, 2013.  An unused commitment fee of 50 basis points per annum is payable monthly on the average unused amount of the PB Loan Agreement. The PB Loan Agreement included a financial covenant regarding fixed charge coverage ratio.
