The Company has a revolving Senior Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks that is used for the Company’s general corporate purposes and those of its subsidiaries, including working capital and capital expenditures. On April 25, 2014, the Senior Credit Facility was amended and the maximum borrowing amount was reduced from $225 million to $175 million. The primary reasons for amending the Senior Credit Facility were to extend the termination date from January 2015 to April 2019 and to reduce fees and interest rates. Under this facility, which does not require amortization of principal, revolving loans may be drawn, repaid and reborrowed up to the amount available under a borrowing base calculated with reference to specified percentages of the Company’s eligible credit card and trade receivables and inventory, which may be reduced by the lender in its reasonable discretion. The Company must maintain availability under the facility of at least the greater of 10% of the aggregate amount that may be advanced against eligible credit card receivables, trade receivables and inventory or $10 million. As of January 31, 2015, the Company had a borrowing availability of $72.8 million, which includes $25 million for letters of credit.

Interest under the Senior Credit Facility is at variable rates plus specified margins that are determined based upon the Company’s excess availability from time to time. The Company is also required to pay monthly commitment fees based on the unused amount of the Senior Credit Facility and a monthly fee with respect to outstanding letters of credit. As of January 31, 2015, the interest rate on LIBOR Rate borrowings was 2.44% and the interest rate on base rate borrowings was 4.5%.

All obligations of the Company related to the Senior Credit Facility are secured by first priority perfected security interests in all personal and real property owned by the Company, including without limitation 100% (or, in the case of excluded foreign subsidiaries, 66%) of the outstanding equity interests in the subsidiaries. The Company is subject to customary limitations on its ability to, among other things, pay dividends and make distributions, make investments and enter into joint ventures, and dispose of assets. The Company was in compliance with all financial and operating covenants as of January 31, 2015.

In addition, the Company has outstanding unsecured debt obligations as follows:

(i)a promissory note in the principal amount of $35 million, (the “QKD Note”) held by Quality King Distributors, Inc. ("Quality King"), which provides for payment of principal in quarterly installments between July 31, 2019 and October 31, 2022, with a final installment on October 31, 2022 of the remaining balance, and payment of interest in quarterly installments commencing on January 31, 2011 at the then current senior debt rate, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, plus 1% per annum;

(ii)promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $85.4 million held by six estate trusts established by Glenn, Stephen and Arlene Nussdorf (the “Nussdorf Trust Notes”), which provide for payment of the principal in full on July 31, 2019 and payments of interest in quarterly installments commencing on July 31, 2012 at the then current senior debt rate plus 2% per annum; and

(iii)a promissory note in the principal amount of $5 million held by Glenn and Stephen Nussdorf (the “2004 Note”), which provided for payment in January 2009 and is currently in default because of the restrictions on payment described below, resulting in an increase of 2% in the nominal interest rate, which is the prime rate plus 1%.

These notes are subordinated to the Senior Credit Facility. No principal may be paid on any of them until three months after the Senior Credit Facility terminates and is paid in full, and payment of interest is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the Company’s maintaining excess availability under the Senior Credit Facility of the greater of $17.5 million or 17.5% of the borrowing base certificate after giving effect to the payment, and a fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, of 1.1:1.0. As a result of the April 2014 amendment to the Senior Credit Facility discussed above, these notes were amended and no principal payments may be made on any of these notes until three months after the Senior Credit Facility's new termination date of April 25, 2019. Interest expense on these notes was approximately $5.8 million and $6.2 million for fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, and is included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. No payments of principal or interest have been made on the QKD Note or the Nussdorf Trust Notes. On the 2004 Note, no payments of principal have been made and no interest payments have been made since October 2008. Accrued interest payable due at January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014 on the Nussdorf Trust Notes, the Quality King Note, and the 2004 Note was approximately $39.5 million and $33.7 million, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014, respectively.
