The Company has the following outstanding credit agreements.

Parent Company Credit Agreement

The Company has a financing agreement (the "Parent Company Financing Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders, Cerberus Business Finance, LLC, as collateral agent, and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the "Parent Company Loans"). The Parent Company Loans consist of: (i) term loans aggregating $75,000,000 (the "Parent Company Term Loans") and (ii) revolving loans of up to $20,000,000, subject to borrowing base restrictions and a $10,000,000 sublimit for letters of credit (the "Parent Company Revolving Loans,"). The Parent Company Loans mature on January 17, 2017. The lenders hold a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company's rotating electrical segment. The Parent Company Financing Agreement only permits the Company to invest up to $20,000,000 in Fenco, which it had done as of December 31, 2012.

In May 2012, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Parent Company Financing Agreement (the "Second Amendment") and borrowed an additional $10,000,000, for an aggregate of $85,000,000 (the "Amended Parent Company Term Loans") in term loans. The Second Amendment, among other things, modified the interest rates per annum applicable to the Amended Parent Company Term Loans. The Amended Parent Company Term Loans will bear interest at rates equal to, at the Company's option, either LIBOR plus 8.5% or a base rate plus 7.5%.

The Amended Parent Company Term Loans require quarterly principal payments of $250,000 beginning on October 1, 2012 and increase to $600,000 per quarter on April 1, 2013 and to $1,350,000 on October 1, 2013 until the final maturity date. Among other things, the Second Amendment provides for certain amended financial covenants, and requires that the Company maintain cash and cash equivalents of up to $10,000,000 in the aggregate until its obligations with respect to a significant supplier have ceased.

In August 2012, the Company entered into a third amendment and waiver to the Parent Company Financing Agreement (the "Third Amendment") which, among other things, (i) permitted the Company to enter into the Fenco Credit Line (as defined herein) described below, (ii) to make additional investments in Fenco in an aggregate amount not to exceed $20,000,000 at any time outstanding, (iii) added additional reporting requirements regarding financial reports and material notices under the Fenco Credit Line described below, and (iv) removed the Second Amendment requirement that the Company maintain cash and cash equivalents of up to $10,000,000.

In December 2012, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the Parent Company Financing Agreement, which, among other things, permitted the Company to repurchase shares pursuant to the stock repurchase agreement with Mel Marks, the Company's founder, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and consultant to the Company, and Melmarks Enterprises LLLP, a limited liability limited partnership controlled by Mr. Marks.

In connection with the option purchase agreement, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to the Parent Company Financing Agreement, which among other things, permitted the Company to purchase Mr. Joffe's stock options pursuant to the option purchase agreement.
 
On June 14, 2013, the Company entered into a sixth amendment to the Parent Company financing Agreement (the "Sixth Amendment"), under the terms of which the agents and lenders agreed to waive any event of default that would otherwise arise under the Parent Company Financing Agreement due to the qualification in the opinion by the Company's certified public accountants with respect to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. In addition, the Sixth Amendment (i) added a reporting requirement with respect to the Company's liquidity levels and certain inventory purchases and (ii) added a financial covenant under which the Company must maintain the folowing levels of liquidity on the following dates unless otherwise consented to by the lenders: on June 28, 2013, an aggregate amount of at least $25,000,000, subject to certain adjustments; on July 31, 2013, an aggregate amount of at least $26,000,000, subject to certain adjustments; and on August 30, 2013, an aggregate amount of at least $27,000,000, subject to certain adjustments.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the lenders under the Parent Company Financing Agreement consented to the purchase by the Company of up to an aggregate of $4,000,000 of inventory for Fenco from the Supplier and the sale of that inventory to Fenco from time to time on a cash-on-delivery basis.

The Parent Company Financing Agreement, as amended, among other things, requires the Company to maintain certain financial covenants including a maximum senior leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and minimum consolidated earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization expenses ("EBITDA"). The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants and reporting requirements under the Parent Company Financing Agreement, as amended, as of March 31, 2013.

There was no outstanding balance on the Parent Company Revolving Loans at March 31, 2013 and 2012. As of March 31, 2013, $18,878,000 was available under the Parent Company Revolving Loans. The Company had reserved $626,000 of the Parent Company Revolving Loans for standby letters of credit for workers' compensation insurance and $1,179,000 for commercial letters of credit as of March 31, 2013.

In connection with the Second Amendment, the Company issued a warrant (the "Cerberus Warrant") to Cerberus Business Finance, LLC. Pursuant to the Cerberus Warrant, Cerberus Business Finance, LLC, may purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an initial exercise price of $17.00 per share for a period of five years. The exercise price is subject to adjustments, among other things, for sales of common stock by the Company at a price below the exercise price. As a result of the issuance of the Supplier Warrant (as defined herein) in August 2012 (as described below) at an initial exercise price of $7.75 per share, the exercise price of the Cerberus Warrant was reduced to $7.75 per share. As the exercise price of the Cerberus Warrant was reduced, the number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be purchased upon the exercise of the Cerberus Warrant was increased to 219,355 so that the aggregate exercise price of the Cerberus Warrant after the adjustment is the same as the aggregate exercise price prior to the adjustment. The fair value of the Cerberus Warrant using the Monte Carlo simulation model was $607,000 at May 24, 2012 and $375,000 at March 31, 2013. This amount was recorded as a warrant liability which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013.During the year ended March 31, 2013, a gain of $232,000 was recorded in general and administrative expenses due to the change in the fair value of the warrant liability.

Fenco Credit Agreement

The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, FAPL and Introcan, as borrowers (the "Fenco Borrowers"), entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, dated May 6, 2011 (the "Fenco Credit Agreement") with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company as lead arranger, M&T Bank as lender and administrative agent and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (the "Fenco Lenders"). Pursuant to the Fenco Credit Agreement, the Fenco Lenders have made available to the Fenco Borrowers a revolving credit facility in the maximum principal amount of $50,000,000 (the "Fenco Revolving Facility") and a term loan in the principal amount of $10,000,000 (the "Fenco Term Loan"). The availability of the Fenco Revolving Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation consisting of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory.

In August 2012, Fenco entered into a second amendment to the Fenco Credit Agreement with the Fenco lenders which, among other things, (i) extended the maturity date to October 6, 2014, (ii) amended the maximum amount of the revolving facility to (y) $55,000,000 for the period up to and including December 31, 2012 and (z) $50,000,000 for the period on or after January 1, 2013 through October 6, 2014, (iii) replaced the repayment schedule and the amounts for the term loan to require quarterly principal payments of $500,000 beginning on June 30, 2013 and increasing to $1,000,000 per quarter beginning December 31, 2013 through September 30, 2014, with the remaining unpaid principal amount being due on the final maturity date, (iv) provided for certain mandatory prepayments of the term loan, and (v) revised certain financial covenants regarding minimum EBITDA, minimum fixed charge coverage, unused borrowing availability under the Fenco revolving credit facility, and maximum capital expenditures.  The maturity date may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an insolvency event or event of default under the Fenco Credit Agreement.

In February 2013, Fenco entered into a third amendment to the Fenco Credit Agreement with the Fenco lenders which, among other things,(i) amended the maximum amount of the revolving facility available after February 1, 2013 from $50,000,000 to $50,712,000, (ii) removed the excess availability requirement, and (iii) amended the revolving facility margin limit.

The outstanding balance on the Fenco Revolving Facility was $49,277,000 and $48,884,000 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of March 31, 2013, approximately $712,000 was reserved for standby commercial letters of credit and $118,000 was reserved for certain expenses. In addition, $300,000 of this Fenco Revolving Facility was reserved for Canadian operations use. As of March 31, 2013, the Fenco Borrowers exceeded the borrowing capacity by $5,795,000 under the Fenco Revolving Facility. The Fenco Lenders hold a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the undercar product line segment.

The Fenco Borrowers may receive advances under the Fenco Revolving Facility by any one or more of the following options: (i) swingline advances in Canadian or US dollars; (ii) Canadian dollar prime-based loans; (iii) US dollar base rate loans; (iv) LIBOR loans; or (v) letters of credits.

The Fenco Term Loan bears interest at the LIBOR plus an applicable margin. Outstanding advances under the Revolving Facility bear interest as follows:

(i)
in respect of swingline advances in Canadian dollars and Canadian dollar prime-based loans, at the reference rate announced by the Royal Bank of Canada plus an applicable margin;
(ii)
in respect of swingline advances in US dollars and US dollar base rate loans, at a base rate (which shall be equal to the highest of (x) M&T Bank's prime rate, (y) the Federal Funds Rate plus ½ of 1%, or (z) the one month LIBOR) plus an applicable margin;
(iii)
in respect of LIBOR loans, at the LIBOR plus an applicable margin.

The Fenco Credit Agreement, among other things, requires the Fenco Borrowers to maintain a minimum EBITDA of not less than $6,100,000 for the period from September 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, the Fenco Borrowers were not in compliance with this financial covenant under the Fenco Credit Agreement. As a result of this noncompliance, the Fenco Revolving Facility and the Fenco Term Loan of $49,277,000 and $10,000,000, respectively, have been classified as debt in default within current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013.

During May 2013, Fenco appointed a new board of independent directors, hired an independent chief restructuring officer and all its previously existing officers resigned from FAPL. As a result of the loss of control of Fenco, the Company will likely deconsolidate the financial statements of Fenco from its consolidated financial statements during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. On June 10, 2013, Fenco filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As of March 31, 2013, Fenco's financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect future adverse effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Neither the Parent Company Financing Agreement nor the Fenco Credit Agreement contain any cross default provisions with respect to the other agreement.

Strategic Cooperation Agreement

In August 2012, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement (the "Agreement") with Wanxiang America Corporation (the "Supplier") and Fenco. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Supplier agreed to provide a revolving credit line for purchases of automotive parts and components by Fenco in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $22,000,000 (the "Fenco Credit Line"), of which $2,000,000 would only be available for accrued interest and other amounts payable (the "Obligations"). Payment for all purchases would be due and payable 120 days after the date of the bill of lading. Any amounts remaining unpaid following the due date would bear interest at a rate of 1% per month. The Fenco Credit Line will mature on July 31, 2017. Among other things, the Agreement requires that Fenco, on an annual basis, purchase at least approximately $33,000,000 of new automotive parts and components. After July 1, 2014, the Supplier has the right to settle up to $8,000,000 (the "Receivable Sale Option") of the Company's outstanding Obligations in exchange, at the Company's option, for (i) shares of the Company's common stock valued at $7.75 per share, subject to certain adjustments, or (ii) cash in an amount equal to 135% of the amount of the outstanding Obligations sold to the Company. Any outstanding Obligations settled by the Supplier would reduce the Fenco Credit Line. The Obligations under the Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the guarantee, the Supplier also has the right to sell accrued interest to the Company for shares of the Company's common stock (the "Unpaid Interest Sale Option") at a price, subject to certain adjustments, that is the lower of (i) $7.75 per share and (ii) 105% of the market value of the Company's common stock, which market value is defined in the terms of the guarantee.

In connection with this Agreement, the Company also issued a warrant (the "Supplier Warrant") to the Supplier to purchase up to 516,129 shares of the Company's common stock for an initial exercise price of $7.75 per share exercisable at any time after two years from August 22, 2012 and on or prior to September 30, 2017. The exercise price is subject to adjustments, among other things, for sales of common stock by the Company at a price below the exercise price. Any outstanding Obligations settled by the Supplier will reduce the Fenco Credit Line. The Company is obligated to issue no more than an aggregate of 1,032,258 shares of its common stock in connection with the Receivable Sale Option and Supplier Warrant, and no more than an aggregate of 1,572,342 shares of the Company's common stock in connection with the Unpaid Interest Sale Option. The Obligations under this Agreement are subordinated to the Company's obligations under the Parent Company Financing Agreement. The fair value of the Supplier Warrant using the Monte Carlo simulation model was $1,018,000 at August 22, 2012, and $1,639,000 at March 31, 2013. This amount was recorded as a warrant liability which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013. During the year ended March 31, 2013, a loss of $621,000 was recorded in general and administrative expenses due to the change in the fair value of the warrant liability.
