13. FINANCING AGREEMENTS

In December 2007, the Company entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility that provided for maximum borrowings of $250,000, including up to a $50,000 sublimit for letters of credit. On August 31, 2009, with the objective of availing itself of the benefits of an improved credit market in an ongoing unstable macroeconomic environment, the Company amended certain terms and increased its borrowing capability under its existing credit agreement (the “First Amended Credit Agreement”). The First Amended Credit Agreement maintained the Company’s existing $250,000 revolving credit facility and provided for a new $50,000 term loan facility, for a total of $300,000 in credit available to the Company. On March 22, 2012, the First Amended Credit Agreement was further amended and restated in its entirety (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”). The Second Amended Credit Agreement provides the Company with a $225,000 revolving credit facility and a $100,000 term loan facility, providing for a total of $325,000 in credit available to the Company. The borrowings under the Second Amended Credit Agreement were used to satisfy the obligations under the First Amended Credit Agreement of $172,500 for the revolving credit facility and $40,000 for the term loan. The revolving credit facility and the term loan facility each mature on March 22, 2015. The Second Amended Credit Agreement does not qualify as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470, Debt, and all financing fees incurred will be deferred and amortized through March 2015.

The Company is required to make quarterly amortization payments on the outstanding principal amount of the term loan with $1,875 payable on each of December 31, 2013, and March 31, 2014, $2,500 payable on each of June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2014, and the remaining balance of the term loan due at maturity.

Borrowings under the Second Amended Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to either (i) the British Bankers Association LIBOR (“BBA LIBOR”) Rate plus a margin ranging from 250 basis points to 325 basis points depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio or (ii) the sum of (A) the highest of (1) the agent’s prime rate, (2) the sum of 0.50% plus the overnight federal funds rate on such day or (3) the BBA LIBOR plus 1.0%, and (B) a margin ranging from 150 basis points to 225 basis points depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, the Company will be required to pay the following fees: (i) a fee on all outstanding amounts of letters of credit at a rate per annum ranging from 250 basis points to 325 basis points (depending on the consolidated leverage ratio); and (ii) a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility at a rate per annum ranging from 35 basis points to 50 basis points (depending on the consolidated leverage ratio). The Company may repay outstanding borrowings at any time during the term of the credit facility without any prepayment penalty.

 

The Second Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain: (i) a consolidated leverage ratio of no more than 3.00 to 1.00; and (ii) an interest charge coverage ratio of at least 3.00 to 1.00. The Second Amended Credit Agreement also contains various other negative covenants, including restrictions on incurring indebtedness, creating liens, mergers, dispositions of property, dividends and stock repurchases, acquisitions and other investments and entering into new lines of business. The Second Amended Credit Agreement also contains various affirmative covenants, including covenants relating to the delivery of financial statements and other financial information, maintenance of property, maintenance of insurance, maintenance of books and records, and compliance with environmental laws. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in full compliance with its covenants.

At September 30, 2013, the utilized portion of this credit facility was $91,250 in borrowings on the term loan facility, $97,700 of borrowings on the revolving credit facility, and $454 in outstanding letters of credit. The portion of the term loan that is due within one year is $8,750 and is classified as short-term in the consolidated balance sheet. The remaining amount outstanding on the term loan and the utilized portion of the revolving credit facility is classified as long-term in the consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2013, based on the calculation of the maximum consolidated leverage ratio, $126,846 of the Company’s revolving credit facility was available. At September 30, 2013, the one month BBA LIBOR rate, the agent’s prime rate, and the overnight federal funds rate were 0.18%, 3.25% and 0.06%, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, the Company used the one month BBA LIBOR rate for the interest rate on these borrowings with an interest rate of 2.93%.

In 2011 and 2012, the Company’s former subsidiaries in China entered into two short term unsecured revolving credit facilities whereby the Company provided a repayment guarantee in support of the first credit facility and the Company provided for a standby letter of credit in support of the second credit facility. These credit facilities provided for maximum borrowings of the Renminbi equivalent of $7,574 and $5,049, respectively. On February 5, 2013, the Company sold our interest in our subsidiaries in China including the entity that is the primary obligor on the credit facilities. As part of the sale transaction, the Company agreed to liquidate these outstanding loans to the lender and on June 13, 2013, these loans were liquidated in full.
