Revolving Credit Facility

In October 2015, we entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, and a syndicate of lenders for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a line of credit of up to $250 million (with an additional $50 million accordion feature) and a maturity date in October 2020. The new credit agreement replaces our prior credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation, as agent, and the lenders therein. Direct borrowings under the new credit agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% based on our borrowing availability, or floating at the alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% based on our borrowing availability, at our option. The credit agreement is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and secured by certain of our assets.
 
Borrowings under the new credit agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory and certain fixed assets, and those of certain of our subsidiaries. Availability under the credit agreement is based on a formula of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory, eligible equipment and eligible fixed assets. After taking into account outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement, there was an additional $128.5 million available for us to borrow pursuant to the formula at December 31, 2015. Outstanding borrowings under the credit agreements, which are classified as current liabilities, were $47.4 million and $56.6 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Borrowings under the restated credit agreement have been classified as current liabilities based upon the accounting rules and certain provisions in the agreement.
 
At December 31, 2015, the weighted average interest rate on our credit agreement was 1.7%, which consisted of $44 million in direct borrowings at 1.6% and an alternative base rate loan of $3.4 million at 3.8%. At December 31, 2014, the weighted average interest rate under our prior credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation was 1.8%, which consisted of $53 million in direct borrowings at 1.7% and an index loan of $3.6 million at 3.8%. During 2015, our average daily alternative base rate/index loan balance was $4.9 million and during 2014 our average daily index loan balance under our prior credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation was $4.4 million.
 
At any time that our borrowing availability is less than the greater of either (a) $25 million, or 10% of the commitments if fixed assets are not included in the borrowing base, or (b) $31.25 million, or 12.5% of the commitments if fixed assets are included in the borrowing base, the terms of the credit agreement provide for, among other provisions, a financial covenant requiring us, on a consolidated basis, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1:1 at the end of each fiscal quarter (rolling four quarters). As of December 31, 2015, we were not subject to these covenants. The credit agreement permits us to pay cash dividends of $20 million and make stock repurchases of $20 million in any fiscal year subject to a minimum availability of $25 million. Provided specific conditions are met, the credit agreement also permits acquisitions, permissible debt financing, capital expenditures, and cash dividend payments and stock repurchases of greater than $20 million.
 
The new credit agreement also replaces our Canadian Credit Agreement with GE Canada Finance Holding Company. The new agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. allows for a $10 million line of credit to Canada as part of the $250 million available for borrowing.
 
Deferred Financing Costs

We had deferred financing costs of $1.6 million and $2.3 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2015 are related to our revolving credit facility. In connection with the new revolving credit facility agreement entered into in October 2015 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., we incurred and capitalized approximately $0.7 million of deferred financing costs related to bank, legal, and other professional fees which are being amortized through 2020, the term of the agreement. In addition, upon entering into the new agreement, we wrote-off $0.8 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the old agreement. Unamortized deferred financing costs written-off in 2015 were recorded in other non-operating income (expense), net in our consolidated statement of operations.
