4. Debt Agreement

On February 18, 2010, the Company entered into an unsecured $50,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders, which expires on March 1, 2013. The Credit Agreement also provides that, under certain circumstances, the Company may increase the aggregate maximum amount of the credit facility by up to an additional $50,000,000.

The Credit Agreement is used by the Company to issue letters of credit and could be used, among other things, to support working capital needs, fund capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. Approximately $3,808,000 in stand-by letters of credit were outstanding as of March 3, 2012 under the Credit Agreement. No advances were outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of March 3, 2012. Accordingly, the total revolving credit availability under the Credit Agreement was $46,192,000 as of March 3, 2012.

The Company’s ability to borrow monies in the future under the Credit Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including compliance with certain covenants and making certain representations and warranties. The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, mergers and acquisitions. In addition, the Company must maintain a minimum leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and minimum consolidated tangible net worth (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of March 3, 2012.

To maintain availability of funds under the Credit Agreement, the Company will pay a 0.25% per annum commitment fee on the revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement.

The interest rates per annum applicable to amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement at March 3, 2012 are, at the Company’s option, either (a) the Base Rate as defined in the Credit Agreement (the “Base Rate”) plus a margin of 0.50% per annum, or (b) the LIBOR Rate as defined in the Credit Agreement (the “LIBOR Rate”) plus a margin of 1.50% per annum. The margin over the Base Rate and the LIBOR Rate under the Credit Agreement may be adjusted quarterly based on the consolidated leverage ratio of the Company, as calculated pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The maximum margin over the Base Rate under the Credit Agreement will be 1.00% per annum; the maximum margin over the LIBOR Rate under the Credit Agreement will be 2.00% per annum. Interest payments under the Credit Agreement are due on the interest payment dates specified in the Credit Agreement.

 

The obligations under the Credit Agreement generally are unsecured, except that, upon a Collateralization Event (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Company will be deemed to have granted a security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to certain specified liens. In certain circumstances, such security interest may be released (and may subsequently spring back into effect) depending on whether the Collateralization Event is continuing (or a new Collateralization Event has occurred). No Collateralization Events occurred during 2012.
