We made voluntary principal prepayments of $7.5 million each on our senior secured term loan on September 27, 2013, April 30, 2013 and March 28, 2013.

On March 28, 2013, we executed an amendment to our Credit Agreement dated June 11, 2011 (“Credit Agreement”) which completed a repricing of our senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility. The repricing reduced the interest rate spread on the senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility by 50 basis points and the interest rate floor by 25 basis points. In connection with this repricing, we recognized $0.5 million of financing and legal costs which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2013.

At September 28, 2013, we had $58.4 million of unused borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility, after deducting $1.6 million for standby letters of credit.

At September 28, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants required by the Credit Agreement. At September 28, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding that would have triggered the leverage covenant under the Credit Agreement. However, we would have been in compliance with such leverage covenant. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, if, during a given fiscal quarter, (i) the sum of (a) any amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility plus (b) the amount drawn under any letters of credit exceeds $1.0 million; or (ii) the aggregate amount of outstanding letters of credit exceeds $5.0 million, the revolving credit facility will be subject to a maximum total leverage ratio.

On October 18, 2013, we executed an amendment to our Credit Agreement, which increases the maximum leverage ratio, as defined, by 0.75 in all future periods.

The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value, except for the senior unsecured notes for which the fair value was $223.5 million. Fair value was estimated using Level 2 inputs, based on the terms of the related debt, recent transactions and estimates using interest rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
