Item 5.   Other Events.

 

On September 25, 2003, we entered into a $10,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with Commerce Bank, N.A. to replace our $10,000,000 senior secured term loan facility with another lender. The revolving credit facility enables us to more efficiently use our cash by borrowing, repaying and re-borrowing funds from the bank from time to time up to the $10,000,000 limit, thereby lowering our effective cost of funds. The revolving credit facility has a three-year term, and the bank may agree to extend the term for a longer period, but no later than June 15, 2008. The revolving credit facility is secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets. Subject to giving the bank proper notice, we may elect to pay interest on outstanding principal under the credit facility at a rate equal to either 1% over the prime rate as published daily in the Wall Street Journal or at 4% over the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement). Interest is payable monthly in arrears. In addition to covenants similar to those in the indenture governing our Senior Subordinated Notes, the credit facility requires, among other things, that we (i) maintain certain 12-month trailing Operating EBITDA levels (Operating EBITDA is a defined term in the Loan and Security Agreement); (ii) have certain minimum accounts receivable as of the end of each quarter; (iii) have not less than $200 million of rep contract value as of the end of each quarter; and (iv) have not less than $2 million of cash and cash equivalents as of the end of each quarter.

 

Please see our press release and the loan documents attached to this Report as exhibits for additional information regarding this credit facility.
