During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we entered into an amendment of the Company's existing $100.0 million committed revolving credit facility. The amount of the facility was increased to $125.0 million, the expiration date was extended to December 2019; the letter of credit facility was reduced to $40.0 million from $50.0 million, the outstanding amounts of which decrease the available commitment; and the maximum debt-to-EBITDA ratio was increased to 3.00. No other provisions of the original agreement were materially amended by the amended credit agreement. No borrowings were outstanding under the facility as of February 28, 2015 or March 1, 2014. Letters of credit issued under the facility decrease the amount of available commitment; $101.5 million was available under the facility at February 28, 2015 and $76.5 million was available at March 1, 2014.

The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.00. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. The Company’s ratio was 0.22 at February 28, 2015. The credit facility also requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth, as defined in the credit facility, based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit facility at February 28, 2015 was $318.8 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $382.5 million. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At February 28, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company entered into a Canadian Dollar $4.0 million revolving demand facility available to our Canadian operation. Borrowings under the facility are made available at the sole discretion of the lender and are payable on demand. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at rates specified in the credit agreement for the facility. Outstanding balances under this demand facility are classified as long-term debt, since outstanding amounts can be refinanced through our committed revolving credit facility. No borrowings were outstanding as of February 28, 2015.
