Line of Credit
 
We are party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other financial institutions, which reflects the maturity of February 25, 2016. The credit facility is in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000, with an option to increase the principal amount by an additional $25,000 subject to customary conditions and approval of the lender(s) providing new commitment(s). The credit facility provides for variable rates of interest based on the type of borrowing and the Company's debt to EBITDA financial ratio. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The interest rate on the credit agreement is 1.5% plus LIBOR. At April 28, 2012, we were in compliance with the covenants of the agreement. During fiscal 2012, we had borrowings of $52,000 and payments of $4,700, which includes $700 of interest under this credit facility. As of April 28, 2012, there were outstanding balances against the credit facility of $48,000.  There was $27,000 available to borrow under the credit agreement as of April 28, 2012, which does not include the option to increase the principal amount. We believe the fair value approximates the carrying amount as of April 28, 2012.
