Revolving Credit Facility

 

On February 20, 2013, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit and Security Agreement (“Amended Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). The Fourth Amendment adjusted certain collateral borrowing base calculations associated with our eligible unbilled accounts receivable and is expected to increase our borrowing availability in periods in which our fiscal period ends prior to the calendar month end, which affects our unbilled accounts receivable levels for clients on a calendar month billing cycle. In addition, the Fourth Amendment extended the term of the Amended Credit Facility from September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2016. Finally, the Fourth Amendment adjusted our minimum trailing twelve months earnings before taxes financial covenant to a loss of $0.1 million for the period ending March 30, 2013, a loss of $0.3 million for the period ending June 29, 2013 and earnings of $0.25 million for periods thereafter through the expiration of the credit agreement ending on September 30, 2016.

 

Under the Amended Credit Facility, Wells Fargo will continue to advance up to $15.0 million to us for working capital purposes and to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit. The total amount available for borrowing under the Amended Credit Facility will fluctuate based on our level of eligible accounts receivable.

 

The Amended Credit Facility carries an interest rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.50% - 2.50%, depending on our operating results. The credit facility had a one-time origination fee of $150,000, the balance of which is being amortized over the new term of the Amended Credit Facility. The annual unused line fee varies between 0.25% - 0.375%, depending on our operating results, on the daily average unused amount. The interest rate effective at the end of fiscal year 2012 was 2.375% and the unused line fee rate was 0.25%. The maturity date of the Amended Credit Facility is September 30, 2016 and may be terminated or reduced by us on 90 days notice in exchange for a termination fee of 0.25% of the maximum line amount or reduction of the maximum line amount through September 30, 2015 and no fee in the final year of the agreement ending on September 30, 2016. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility are secured by all of our assets.

 

The Amended Credit Facility limits our annual capital expenditures to $2.0 million. We are required to maintain a minimum excess borrowing base availability of not less than $3.0 million. The Amended Credit Facility contains customary affirmative covenants, including covenants regarding annual, quarterly and projected financial reporting requirements, collateral and insurance maintenance, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, the facility contains customary negative covenants limiting our ability to grant liens, incur indebtedness, make investments, repurchase our stock, create new subsidiaries, sell assets or engage in any change of control transaction without the consent of Wells Fargo.

 

Upon an event of default, Wells Fargo may terminate the facility or declare the entire amount outstanding under the facility to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights under the agreement. The events of default under the facility include, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, a change in control and bankruptcy events.

 

As of March 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all the requirements and had no outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility. Total availability under the Amended Credit Facility, which fluctuates based on our level of eligible accounts receivable, was $12.1 million as of March 30, 2013.
