Debt and Financing Arrangements

On September 27, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain banks and agents.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company is borrower under a $150,000,000 senior revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $150,000,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is entitled, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to further request an additional aggregate principal amount of up to $75,000,000. In addition, the Company is entitled, subject to certain terms and conditions, to the benefit of swing loans from amounts otherwise available under the Revolving Facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000,000 and to request Letters of Credit from amounts otherwise available under the Revolving Facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000,000. The obligations of the Company under the Credit agreement are not secured, but are subject to certain covenants (see below).

The interest rates per annum applicable to loans, other than swing loans, under the Credit Agreement will be, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, equal to either a base rate or a LIBOR rate for one, two, three or six-month interest periods chosen by the Company, plus an applicable margin percentage. The base rate will be the highest of; (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%; (ii) the agent’s prime rate or; (iii) the LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. The LIBOR rate will be equal to the London interbank offered rates for U.S. Dollars quoted by Bloomberg or the appropriate successor, divided by a number equal to 1 minus the maximum percentage in effect on such day for determining reserve requirements, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The applicable margin percentage is based on the leverage ratio of the Company. The range of the applicable margin percentage is 1.00% per annum to 1.75% per annum in the case of the LIBOR rate and 0.00% per annum to 0.75% per annum in the case of the base rate.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company is borrowing funds using the one month LIBOR option, and based on the Company's leverage ratio as of March 31, 2014, the interest rate on it's borrowings is equal to 1.16%.

A one percent increase in the Company's borrowing rate, would increase interest expense paid by the Company on it's borrowings by approximately $2.7 million dollars on an annual basis, based on loan balances as of March 31,2014.

The Revolving Facility expires and the Term Loan matures on September 27, 2018.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; (iii) sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of certain assets; (iv) make certain investments; (v) incur or suffer to exists liens securing indebtedness; (vi) dissolve, liquidate, consolidate, merge or wind-up its affairs; (vii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; or (viii) make certain other negative pledges. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that limit capital expenditures in any fiscal year and that measure; (i) the ratio of the Company’s total funded indebtedness net of certain cash to the amount of the Company’s consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"); and (ii) the ratio of the amount of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to the Company’s cash interest expense. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default.

In connection with the HomeLink® acquisition completed on September 27, 2013, the Company borrowed $275 million related to the Credit Agreement, ($125 million under the revolving facility and $150 million on the term loan). During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company made a partial repayment of $1.9 million, plus accrued interest, on the Term Loan, and accrued interest on the Revolving facility. The Company used cash and cash equivalents to fund the payment. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had availability of $25 million under the Credit Agreement (not including additional aggregate principal amounts which can be requested).

Cash paid for interest expenses for three months ended March 31, 2014, which were netted within the "Other, net" section of the income statement were $0.9 million. There was no cash paid for interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
