Credit Facility

The Company’s revolving credit facility expired and was repaid in full on September 29, 2011. On September 29, 2011, the Company entered into a five year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as lender, providing for revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100 million. Subject to certain conditions the Company has the right to request an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility or optional incremental term loans. The Facility has a maturity date of September 29, 2016, at which time any principal amounts outstanding are due. Obligations under the Facility are secured and are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain domestic and foreign subsidiaries of the Company.

The Company may select either a base rate loan or a LIBOR based loan. Base rate loans are computed at the highest of (a) the national prime interest rate as announced by Wells Fargo, (b) the sum of the Federal fund rate plus 0.5%, or (c) the LIBOR rate for an interest period of one month plus 1.0%, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.25%. LIBOR based loans are computed at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25%. The margins are dependent upon the Company’s total leverage ratio at the end of each quarter. The initial borrowing rate on September 29, 2011 was set using the LIBOR rate option, effecting a rate of 1.74%. Interest is due and payable quarterly.

The interest rate in effect at September 30, 2011 was 1.74%. There is also an unused commitment fee to be paid quarterly of 0.25% to 0.40% based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The initial principal borrowings of $75 million were outstanding at September 30, 2011. The amount of unused borrowings actually available under the Facility varies in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

 

The Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, asset dispositions, acquisitions, investments, dividends and other restricted payments, liens and transactions with affiliates. The Facility also contains financial covenants relating to maximum permitted leverage ratio and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. At September 30, 2011, (and at all times during the period) the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. The Facility does not contain any subjective acceleration features and does not have any required payment or principal reduction schedule and is included as long-term in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
