On November 9, 2016, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement ("Credit Facility") with its Lender. The Credit Facility matures on June 25, 2020 and consisted of secured loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $39,871. The Credit Facility was comprised of (i) a senior secured revolving credit facility of a maximum borrowing amount of $35,000, including swing line loans and letters of credit provided by the Lender and (ii) senior secured term loan facility in the amount of $4,871 (the "Term Facility"). The new Term Facility is repayable in monthly installments of $81, which commenced December 1, 2016. The terms of the Credit Facility contain both a lockbox arrangement and subjective acceleration clause. As a result, the amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility are classified as a short-term liability. The amounts borrowed under the Amended and Restated Agreement were used to repay the amounts outstanding under the Company's 2015 Credit Agreement, for working capital, for general corporate purposes and to pay fees and expenses associated with this transaction. In connection with entering into the Credit Facility, the Company terminated its interest rate swap agreement with the Lender, as referenced in Note 1 - D. Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company entered into its First Amendment Agreement ("First Amendment") to the Credit Facility on February 16, 2017. The First Amendment assigned its Lender as Administrative Agent and assigned a portion of its Credit Facility to a participating Lender.
Borrowings bear interest at the LIBOR rate, prime rate, or the eurocurrency reference rate depending on the type of loan requested by the Company, in each case, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Amended and Restated Agreement. The revolver has a rate based on LIBOR plus a 3.75% spread and a prime rate, which resulted in a weighted average rate of 4.6% at June 30, 2017 and the term loan has a rate of 5.3% at June 30, 2017, which was based on LIBOR plus a 4.25% spread. This rate becomes an effective fixed rate of 5.8% after giving effect to the interest rate swap agreement. There is also a commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.375% to be incurred on the unused balance.

Under the Company's Credit Facility, the Company is subject to certain customary loan covenants. These include, without limitation, covenants that require maintenance of certain specified financial ratios, including that the Company meeting a minimum EBITDA and the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio to commence on September 30, 2017. On August 4, 2017, the Company entered into its Second Amendment Agreement ("Second Amendment") with its lender to (i) amend certain definitions within its Credit Facility to, among other things, effect the changes described herein and to reset the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) to build to a trailing four quarters in each of the fiscal 2018 quarters, commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2017; (ii) replace certain of its financial covenants outlined in the description of Credit Facility and amend its financial covenants with a revised minimum EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2017 and to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio commencing on December 31, 2017; (iii) reduce its maximum revolving amount of $35,000 to $30,000; and (iv) the Company must use its cash proceeds from the sale of the Irish building discussed in Note 1 Asset Held for Sale to reduce the Term Facility by $700 and use the remaining proceeds to reduce the revolver. The Second Amendment, as described above, waived compliance requirements with its loan covenants as of June 30, 2017.
On June 26, 2015, the Company entered a Credit and Security Agreement (the "2015 Credit Agreement") with its Lender. The credit facility was comprised of (i) a five-year revolving credit facility with a maximum borrowing amount of up to $25,000, which reduced to $20,000 on January 1, 2016, and (ii) a five-year term loan of $20,000.  Amounts borrowed under the credit facility were secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the stock of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. The term loan was repayable in quarterly installments of $714 starting September 30, 2015. The amounts borrowed under the 2015 Credit Agreement were used to repay the Company's previous revolver and term note, to fund the acquisition of the Maniago, Italy location and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The 2015 Credit Agreement also had an accordion feature, which allowed the Company to increase the availability by up to $15,000 upon consent of the existing lenders or upon additional lenders being joined to the facility. Borrowings bore interest at the LIBOR rate, prime rate, or the eurocurrency reference rate depending on the type of loan requested by the Company, in each case, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Foreign subsidiary borrowings
As of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the total foreign debt borrowings (excluding capital leases) were $9,158 and $9,540, respectively, of which $6,481 and $5,833, respectively is the current portion. Current debt as of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, consist of $3,856 and $3,262 of short-term borrowings, $1,483 and $2,014 is the current portion of long-term debt, and $1,142 and $557 of factoring. Interest rates on the term note are based on Euribor rates which range from 1.0% to 4.0%. The factoring programs are uncommitted, whereby the Company offers receivables for sale to an unaffiliated financial institution, which are then subject to acceptance by the unaffiliated financial institution. Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the unaffiliated financial institution, the receivables are not isolated from the Company, and effective control of the receivables is not passed to the unaffiliated financial institution, which does not have the right to pledge or sell the receivables. The Company accounts for the pledge of receivables under this agreement as short-term debt and continues to carry the receivables on its consolidated condensed balance sheet. The carrying value of the receivables pledged as collateral were $1,790 and $1,156 at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

Debt issuance costs
The Company incurred debt issuance costs related to its 2015 Credit Agreement in the amount of $724. However, with the Credit Facility, the Company incurred an additional $498 of costs in November 2016 and wrote off $241 of debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2016 due to debt modification accounting for deferred financing costs as it relates to the term note, which is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements. Total debt issuance cost in the amount of $786 is split between the Term Facility and the revolving credit facility. The portion noted above within debt table relates to the Term Facility in the amount of $61, net of amortization of $10 at June 30, 2017. The remaining $725 of debt issuance cost relates to the revolving credit facility. This portion is shown in the consolidated condensed balance sheet as a deferred charge in other current assets, which was reclassed from other long-term assets due to the classification of the revolving credit facility noted above, net of amortization of $232 at June 30, 2017.
