Long-term debt and short-term debt at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted of the following:

Borrowings under our $100,000 revolving credit facility bearing interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR (0.25% at March 31, 2013) plus an applicable margin of 1.50% at March 31, 2013, expiring October 26, 2017.	$	32,229	$	38,087

On October 26, 2012, we amended our $100,000 revolving credit facility agented by KeyBank and our fixed rate notes with Prudential Capital in order to take advantage of lower interest rates, to extend the maturity of the revolving credit facility to October 26, 2017, and to remove certain restrictions on acquisitions, payments of dividends and stock repurchases. The amended interest rates on our revolving credit facility are LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.25% to 2.25% (depending on the level of debt to earnings before taxes, interest and depreciation (“EBITDA”)). Prior to the October 26, 2012 amendment, the $100,000 revolving credit facility interest rate was LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50% to 3.50% (depending on the level of debt to EBITDA). The interest rate on our $40,000 aggregate fixed rate notes, of which $11,429 was outstanding as of March 31, 2013, was reduced from 5.39% to 4.89%. The amended agreements allow us to undertake acquisitions, pay dividends, and repurchase stock provided we are in compliance with specified covenants. Additionally, the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio will remain at “not to be less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter” for the full terms of the amended agreements.

The $100,000 revolving credit facility may be expanded upon our request with approval of the lenders by up to $35 million, under the same terms and conditions. The loan agreement contains customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens on our assets, sales or transfers of assets, investments, issuance of equity securities, and merger, acquisition and other fundamental changes in our business including a “material adverse change” clause, which if triggered would give the lenders the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. The facility has a $10 million swing line feature to meet short term cash flow needs. Any borrowings under this swing line are considered short term. Costs associated with entering into the revolving credit facility were capitalized and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the facility. As of March 31, 2013, $1,915 of net capitalized loan origination costs related to the revolving credit facility were recorded on the balance sheet within other non-current assets.

The $40,000 and $20,000 fixed rate agreements contain customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens on our assets, sales or transfers of assets, investments, issuance of equity securities, and mergers, acquisitions and other fundamental changes in our business including a “material adverse change” clause, which if triggered would give the lenders the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. We incurred costs as a result of issuing these notes which have been recorded on the balance sheet within other non-current assets and are being amortized over the term of the notes. The unamortized balance at March 31, 2013 was $117.
