DEBT

On June 19, 2014, the Company entered into a senior Credit and Security Agreement with KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank"), as administrative agent and lender, which was amended on June 30, 2014 principally to add a syndicate of additional lenders (as so amended, the "Credit and Security Agreement" or "CSA").  The maturity date of the CSA is June 18, 2019.
The CSA consists of (i) a $50 million revolving credit facility ("Revolver"), (ii) a $145 million term loan facility ("Term Loan") and (iii) a $70 million delayed draw term loan ("DDTL").  Under the terms of the CSA, the Company is entitled, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to request additional commitments under the revolving credit facility or term loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million to the extent that existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional commitments and/or term loans.
The obligations of the Company under the CSA are guaranteed by certain of the Company's material U.S. subsidiaries (together with the Company, the "Loan Parties") and are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of the Loan Parties, certain material real property of the Loan Parties and certain of the Loan Parties' material U.S. subsidiaries, including 65% of the voting capital stock of certain of the Loan Parties' direct foreign subsidiaries.
The borrowings under the CSA will bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, either (1) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.75% per annum to 3.00% per annum depending on the Company's leverage ratio, or (2)(a) an "Alternate Base Rate," which is the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) KeyBank's prime rate and (iii) the LIBOR rate with a maturity of one month plus 1.00%, plus (b) a margin ranging from 0.75% per annum to 2.00% per annum, depending on the Company's leverage ratio. The interest rate in effect at December 31, 2015 was 3.19%, which consisted of LIBOR of 0.44% plus the Company's margin of 2.75%.  The interest rate in effect at December 31, 2014 was 2.94%, which consisted of LIBOR of 0.19% plus the Company's margin of 2.75%.
The CSA contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default and financial covenants that measure (i) the ratio of the Company's total funded indebtedness, on a consolidated basis, to the amount of the Company's consolidated EBITDA, as defined, ("Leverage Ratio") and (ii) the ratio of the amount of the Company's consolidated EBITDA to the Company's consolidated fixed charges ("Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio"). If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the CSA would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due thereunder and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.  At December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants, including its most restrictive covenant, the Leverage Ratio.  The unused credit available under the credit facility at December 31, 2015 was $50.0 million.

Concurrent with its entry into the CSA on June 19, 2014, the Company borrowed $145.0 million under the Term Loan to complete its acquisition of Power Solutions.  In July 2014, in connection with the acquisition of Connectivity Solutions, the Company borrowed an additional $90.0 million under the CSA ($70.0 million through the DDTL and $20.0 million under the Revolver).  During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded $5.8 million in deferred financing costs which will be amortized over the five-year term.

In connection with its outstanding borrowings and amortization of the deferred financing costs described above, the Company incurred $7.6 million and $4.0 million of interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  At December 31, 2015 and 2014, borrowings outstanding related to the term loans (Term Loan and DDTL combined) were $187.2 million and $209.6 million, respectively, and borrowings outstanding under the revolver were $0 and $23.0 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2013, the Company maintained a $30 million line of credit with Bank of America (the "Credit Agreement"), which was due to expire on October 14, 2016.  At December 31, 2013, the borrowings under the line of credit amounted to $12.0 million.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company repaid the full $12.0 million balance outstanding and terminated the Credit Agreement.
