Credit Facilities and Long Term Debt

The Company maintains a $125.0 million (which may be increased to $200.0 million, subject to certain conditions) secured revolving credit agreement with a group of financial institutions which provides for borrowings in the United States.  The credit facility has a five year term and expires in October 2015.  Availability is subject to a borrowing base formula that takes into account eligible receivables and eligible inventory.  Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets, subject to limited exceptions.  The credit agreement contains certain operating, financial and other covenants, including limits on annual levels of capital expenditures, availability tests related to payments of dividends and stock repurchases and fixed charge coverage tests related to acquisitions.  The borrowings under the agreement are subject to borrowing base limitations of up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and up to 40% of qualified inventories.  The interest rate under this facility is computed at applicable market rates based on LIBOR or the Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin.  The revolving credit agreement requires that a minimum level of availability be maintained.  If such availability is not maintained, the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined).  The applicable margin varies based on borrowing base availability.  As of March 31, 2012, eligible collateral under the agreement was $119.5 million, total availability was $110.4 million, total outstanding letters of credit were $9.1 million and there were no outstanding advances.  The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under this facility as of March 31, 2012.

 
The Company’s Inmac-WStore subsidiary maintains a secured revolving credit agreement with a financial institution in France which is secured by Inmac-WStore accounts receivable balances.  Available amounts for borrowing under this facility include all accounts receivable balances not over 60 days past due reduced by the greater of €4.0 million or 10% of the eligible accounts receivable.  As of March 31, 2012, there was availability under this credit facility of approximately €19.2 million ($25.6 million) and there were no outstanding borrowings.  Under this agreement the Company is subject to certain non-financial covenants with which it was in compliance at March 31, 2012.  This credit facility will be terminated on June 9, 2012.

The Company (through a subsidiary) has an outstanding Bond financing with the Development Authority of Jefferson, Georgia (the “Authority”).  The Bonds were issued by the Authority and purchased by GE Government Finance Inc., and mature on October 1, 2018.   The proceeds from Bond were used to finance capital equipment purchased for the Company’s distribution facility located in Jefferson, Georgia. The purchase and installation of the equipment for the facility was completed by December 31, 2011.  Pursuant to the transaction, the Company transferred to the Authority, for consideration consisting of the Bonds proceeds, ownership of the equipment and the Authority leased the equipment to the Company’s subsidiary pursuant to a capital equipment lease expiring October 1, 2018. Under the capital equipment lease the Company has the right to acquire ownership of the equipment at any time for a purchase price sufficient to pay off all principal and interest on the Bonds, plus $1.00. As of March 31, 2012 there was approximately $7.2 million outstanding against this lease facility.
