9.  Line of Credit:

 

On January 30, 2012, the Company’s Line of Credit with The PrivateBank and Trust Company and BMO Harris Bank N.A. was amended to, among other things, provide the consent of the lenders for the payment of the Special Dividend and to amend certain financial covenant calculations to remove the effect of the Special Dividend in such calculations.

 

On February 29, 2012, the Line of Credit was amended to, among other things, increase the aggregate commitments from $30.0 million to $35.0 million and extend the termination date from July 31, 2014 to February 29, 2016.

 

During the nine months ended September 29, 2012, the Line of Credit was used to finance in part the Special Dividend (as indicated above) and has been and will continue to be used for general corporate purposes.  Borrowings under the Line of Credit are subject to certain borrowing base limitations, and the Line of Credit is secured by a lien against substantially all of the Company’s assets, contains customary financial conditions and covenants, and requires maintenance of minimum levels of debt service coverage and tangible net worth and maximum levels of leverage (all as defined within the Line of Credit).  As of September 29, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants and the Company’s borrowing availability under the Line of Credit was $35.0 million (the lesser of the borrowing base or the aggregate commitments).  There were $10.7 million in borrowings outstanding under the Line of Credit bearing interest ranging from 2.97% to 3.75%, leaving $24.3 million available for additional borrowings.
