New Credit Facility

 

On May 14, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement ("Agreement") with The Huntington National Bank ("Huntington"). The Agreement includes both a term loan and a revolving loan and is secured by mortgages on our facilities and personal property in West Lafayette and Evansville, Indiana. 

 

The term loan for $5,500 bears interest at LIBOR plus 325 basis points with monthly principal payments of approximately $65 plus interest. The term loan matures in May 2019. On May 15, 2014, we used the proceeds from the term loan to pay off the Regions replacement note payable.

 

The revolving loan for $2,000 matures in May 2016 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points with interest paid monthly. The revolving loan also carries a facility fee of .25%, paid quarterly, for the portion of the revolving loan unused. Pursuant to the Agreement, the revolving loan also carries an annual clean-up provision that requires the Company to maintain a balance of not more than 20% of the maximum loan of $2,000 for a period of 30 days in any 12 month period while the revolving loan is outstanding.

 

The Agreement requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00 and a maximum total leverage ratio of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 from the date of the Agreement through September 30, 2015 and 2.50 to 1.00 commencing after October 1, 2015 until maturity. The Agreement also contains various other covenants, including restrictions on the incurrence of certain indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions, and asset sales. Failure to comply with these covenants in future quarters would be a default under the Huntington Agreement, requiring us to negotiate with Huntington regarding loan modifications or waivers. If we are unable to obtain such modifications or waivers, Huntington could accelerate the maturity of the loans.

 

We entered into an interest rate swap agreement with respect to the above loans to fix the interest rate with respect to 60% of the value of the term loan at approximately 5.0%. We entered into this derivative transaction to hedge interest rate risk of the related debt obligation and not to speculate on interest rates.
