NOTE 5 - FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

Bank Credit Facility

     The Company has a credit facility with Square 1 Bank comprised of a term loan and a revolver that provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $12 million. The maturity date of the credit facility is August 15, 2014. The revolver borrowing limit is equal to the lesser of (a) $12 million minus the term loan principal outstanding at any point in time, or (b) 85% of eligible accounts receivable. At November 30, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolver, and the amount available to borrow at that date amounted to $9,800,000. The term loan, which had an outstanding principal balance of $2,200,000 at November 30, 2012, is repayable at the rate of $100,000 per month. All borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at Square 1 Bank's prime rate plus 1.0% per annum, and are secured by substantially all assets of the Company. At November 30, 2012, the effective interest rate on the revolver and bank term loan was 4.25%. Interest on borrowings under the credit facility is payable monthly.

     The bank credit facility contains a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain minimum levels of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation and other noncash charges (commonly known as EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA) on a rolling six-month basis and a minimum debt coverage ratio. At November 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the credit facility. The credit facility also provides for a number of customary events of default, including a provision that a material adverse change constitutes an event of default that permits the lender, at its option, to accelerate the loan. Among other provisions, the credit facility requires a lock-box and cash collateral account whereby cash remittances from the Company's customers are directed to the cash collateral account and which amounts are applied to reduce the revolving loan principal balance.

Debt

     Debt is comprised of the following (in thousands):

     The Navman note is payable in the form of a 15% rebate on certain products sold by the Company to Navman under the Supply Agreement. The unpaid balance of the Navman note would become immediately due and payable upon any termination of the Supply Agreement by the Company before the end of its five-year term (other than as a result of an uncured breach of the Supply Agreement by Navman), except that in the case of such acceleration the note balance would be subordinated to the Company’s bank debt pursuant to the provisions of a debt subordination agreement. In the absence of an acceleration event, the Navman note is payable solely in the form of a rebate on products sold by CalAmp to Navman under the Supply Agreement. After all rebates have been applied to pay down the note balance, and assuming that an acceleration event has not occurred, any unpaid balance remaining on the Navman note would be forgiven at the later of May 7, 2017 or the final date to which the Supply Agreement is extended pursuant to a force majeure event. During the quarter ended November 30, 2012, the Company made a payment of $160,000 on the note.
