Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A.

On June 26, 2013, the Company amended its credit facility with Bank of America, N.A by executing the First Amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Facility”).

The Credit Facility provides for an increase in the maximum committed borrowings from $75 million to $100 million. The Credit Facility continues to include, pursuant to an accordion feature, the ability to increase the Amended Credit Facility by an additional $50 million upon the request of the Company and the agreement of the lender(s) participating in the increase. The Credit Facility includes a sublimit of $20 million for commercial and standby letter of credits or the sublimit of up to $15 million for Swingline Loans. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is determined using an availability formula based on eligible assets. The maturity date of the Credit Facility was extended from November 10, 2014 to June 26, 2018. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on all of its assets.

Borrowings made pursuant to the Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate (determined as the highest of (a) Bank of America N.A.’s prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the one month LIBOR rate) plus a varying percentage, based on the Company’s borrowing base, of 0.50%-0.75% (a decrease from 1.00%-1.25%) for prime-based borrowings and 1.50%-1.75% (a decrease from 2.00%-2.25%) for LIBOR-based borrowings. The Company is also subject to an unused line fee of 0.25% (a decrease from 0.375%).

At August 3, 2013, the Company’s prime-based interest rate was 3.75%. The Company had approximately $5.0 million of its outstanding borrowings in LIBOR-based borrowings with an interest rate of 1.65%. The LIBOR-based borrowings expired August 6, 2013. When a LIBOR-based borrowing expires, the borrowings revert back to prime-based borrowings unless the Company enters into a new LIBOR-based borrowing arrangement.

At August 3, 2013, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $12.3 million. Outstanding standby letters of credit were $1.8 million and documentary letters of credit were $1.1 million. Unused excess availability at August 3, 2013 was $78.1 million. Average borrowings outstanding under this facility during the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $8.7 million, resulting in an average unused excess availability of approximately $67.2 million. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is determined using an availability formula based on eligible assets, with increased advance rates based on seasonality.

The fair value of the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility at August 3, 2013 approximated the carrying value.
