Long-Term and Short-Term Financing Arrangements

Credit Agreement
On January 7, 2011, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Loan Parties") entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which was further amended on February 17, 2011 (as so amended, the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement matures on January 7, 2016. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $380.0 million, subject to the calculated borrowing base restrictions, and provides for an increase at the Company's option (a) by up to $150.0 million from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement (the "general purpose accordion feature") and (b) by an additional $150.0 million on or before February 28, 2011 (the "designated event accordion feature"), in both instances subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and the willingness of existing or new lenders to assume the increase. Effective February 17, 2011, the Loan Parties exercised the $150.0 million designated event accordion feature to fund the acquisition of ASG, increasing the aggregate amount available under the Credit Agreement from $380.0 million to $530.0 million. On February 17, 2011, ASG and TBMC, the sole domestic subsidiary of ASG, became borrowers under the Credit Agreement. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the acquisition of ASG. Borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement is limited to the lesser of the total commitments and the borrowing base, which is based on stated percentages of the sum of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, as defined, less applicable reserves. Under the Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties' obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in all accounts receivable, inventory and certain other collateral.

Interest on borrowings is at variable rates based on the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") or the prime rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus a spread. The interest rate and fees for letters of credit varies based upon the level of excess availability under the Credit Agreement. There is an unused line fee payable on the unused portion under the facility and a letter of credit fee payable on the outstanding face amount under letters of credit.
 
The Credit Agreement limits the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments or specified payments, give guarantees, pay dividends, make capital expenditures and merge or acquire or sell assets. In addition, certain additional covenants would be triggered if excess availability were to fall below specified levels, including fixed charge coverage ratio requirements. Furthermore, if excess availability falls below the greater of (i) 15.0% of the lesser of (x) the borrowing base or (y) the total commitments and (ii) $35.0 million for three consecutive business days, or an event of default occurs, the lenders may assume dominion and control over the Company's cash (a "cash dominion event") until such event of default is cured or waived or the excess availability exceeds such amount for 30 consecutive days.
 
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults in excess of a certain threshold, the failure of any guaranty or security document supporting the agreement to be in full force and effect and a change of control event. In addition, if the excess availability falls below the greater of (i) 12.5% of the lesser of (x) the borrowing base or (y) the total commitments and (ii) $35.0 million, and the fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0, the Company would be in default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains certain other covenants and restrictions. The Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions under the Credit Agreement as of July 30, 2011.
 
At July 30, 2011, the Company had $250.0 million in borrowings outstanding and $9.3 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Total additional borrowing availability was $270.7 million at July 30, 2011.

$200 Million Senior Notes Due 2019
On April 27, 2011, the Company announced that it had priced an offering of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "2019 Senior Notes") in a private placement (the "Offering"). The Offering closed on May 11, 2011. The 2019 Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the subsidiaries of the Company that is an obligor under the Credit Agreement. Interest on the 2019 Senior Notes is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year beginning on November 15, 2011. The 2019 Senior Notes mature on May 15, 2019.  Prior to May 15, 2014, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2019 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the 2019 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a "make whole" premium.  After May 15, 2014, the Company may redeem all or a part of the 2019 Senior Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on May 15 of the years indicated below:

Year
Percentage
2014
105.344%
2015
103.563%
2016
101.781%
2017 and thereafter
100.000%

In addition, prior to May 15, 2014, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the 2019 Senior Notes with the proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 107.125% of the principal amount of the 2019 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the redemption date.

The net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $193.7 million after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and other Offering expenses. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to purchase $99.2 million of the Company's outstanding $150.0 million 8.75% senior notes due in 2012 (the "2012 Senior Notes") that were tendered pursuant to a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") and pay other fees and expenses in connection with the Tender Offer. The Company called and redeemed the remaining $50.8 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2012 Senior Notes. The Company used the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repaying amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

The 2019 Senior Notes also contain certain other covenants and restrictions that limit certain activities including, among other things, levels of indebtedness, payments of dividends, the guarantee or pledge of assets, certain investments, common stock repurchases, mergers and acquisitions and sales of assets. As of July 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions relating to the 2019 Senior Notes.

On August 3, 2011, the Company launched an exchange offer, allowing the holders of the 2019 Senior Notes to exchange their notes for a like amount of registered 2019 Senior Notes.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the second quarter of 2011, the Company completed a cash tender offer for the 2012 Senior Notes and called for redemption and repaid the remaining notes that were not tendered. The Company incurred a loss on early extinguishment costs to retire the 2012 Senior Notes prior to maturity totaling $1.0 million, of which approximately $0.6 million was non-cash.
