On January 16, 2015, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), which provides for an asset-based lending senior secured revolving credit facility that matures in January 2018. The New Credit Agreement was entered into by and among the Company, certain of the Company’s direct and indirect domestic and Canadian subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), certain other of the Company’s direct and indirect domestic and Canadian subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., KeyBank National Association, and Citizens Bank, National Association (the “Lenders”). PNC is the administrative agent under the New Credit Agreement (the “Administrative Agent”). The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic and Canadian assets, other than real estate.
The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants; however it does not contain financial covenants that would require the Company to not exceed a maximum leverage ratio or to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio similar to those under the Company’s Prior Credit Agreement.
The New Credit Agreement provides the Company and the other Borrowers with the ability to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000, subject to availability based on a borrowing base formula, under a senior secured revolving credit, letter of credit and swing line loan facility (the “Credit Facility”). Up to $25,000,000 of the Credit Facility will be available for issuance of letters of credit, which amount is subject to an initial $10,000,000 sublimit under the terms of the New Credit Agreement. The aggregate principal amount of the Credit Facility may be increased by up to $25,000,000 to the extent requested by the Company and agreed to by any Lender or new financial institution approved by the Administrative Agent. The aggregate borrowing availability under the Credit Facility is determined based on a borrowing base formula set forth in the New Credit Agreement and summarized below.
Under the New Credit Agreement, the aggregate usage under the Credit Facility may not exceed an amount equal to the sum of (a) 85% of eligible U.S. accounts receivable plus (b) the lesser of (i) 70% of eligible U.S. inventory and eligible foreign in-transit inventory and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible domestic inventory and eligible foreign in-transit inventory (not to exceed $4,000,000), plus (c) the lesser of (i) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of domestic eligible machinery and equipment and (ii) $2,924,000 (subject to reduction as provided in the New Credit Agreement), plus (d) 85% of eligible Canadian accounts receivable, plus (e) the lesser of (i) 70% of eligible Canadian inventory and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible Canadian inventory, less (f) swing loans outstanding under the Credit Facility, less (g) letters of credit issued and undrawn under the Credit Facility, less (h) a $10,000,000 minimum availability reserve, less (i) other reserves required by the Administrative Agent, and in each case subject to the definitions and limitations in the New Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenant requirements. The Company had borrowing capacity of $38,500,000 as of March 31, 2015.
Interest will accrue on outstanding indebtedness under the New Credit Agreement at the LIBOR rate, plus a margin ranging from 2.25% to 2.75%, or at the alternate base rate, plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%, as selected by the Company. The margin that will apply for the first six months of the Credit Facility is 2.75% for LIBOR rate loans and 1.75% for alternate base rate (Prime) loans, and after the first six months will be adjusted quarterly based on utilization. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to commitment fees of 0.25% or 0.375% per year, depending on utilization. As of March 31, 2015, the weighted average floating interest rate on revolving credit borrowings was 3.16% compared to 2.25% as of December 31, 2014.
Exceptions to the operating covenants in the New Credit Agreement provide the Company with flexibility to, among other things, enter into or undertake certain sale/leaseback transactions, dispositions of assets, additional credit facilities, sales of receivables, additional indebtedness and intercompany indebtedness, all subject to limitations set forth in the New Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement also contains a covenant requiring the Company to maintain minimum availability under the Credit Facility of not less than (i) 11.25% of the maximum amount that may be drawn under the Credit Facility for five (5) consecutive business days, or (ii) $10,000,000 on any business day.
The New Credit Agreement contains customary default provisions, with certain grace periods and exceptions, which provide that events of default that include, among other things, failure to pay amounts due, breach of covenants, representations or warranties, bankruptcy, the occurrence of a material adverse effect, exclusion from any medical reimbursement program, and an interruption of any material manufacturing facilities for more than 10 consecutive days.

The proceeds of the Credit Facility were used to repay and terminate the Company’s Prior Credit Agreement, which was scheduled to mature in October 2015.

As a result of the New Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $1,391,000 in fees which were capitalized and are being amortized through January 2018. In addition, as a result of terminating the prior credit agreement, which was scheduled to mature in October 2015, the Company wrote-off $668,000 in previously capitalized fees in the first quarter of 2015, which is reflected in the expense of the North America / HME segment. In comparison, the Company wrote-off $1,070,000 in fees previously capitalized in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of a reduction in the borrowing capacity under the Company's prior credit agreement.

In 2007, the Company issued $135,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2027. The debentures are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, pay interest at 4.125% per annum on each February 1 and August 1, and are convertible upon satisfaction of certain conditions into cash, common shares of the Company, or a combination of cash and common shares of the Company, subject to certain conditions. The debentures allow the Company to satisfy the conversion using any combination of cash or stock, and at the Company’s discretion. The Company intends to satisfy the accreted value of the debentures using cash. Assuming adequate cash on hand at the time of conversion, the Company also intends to satisfy the conversion spread using cash, as opposed to stock.
