Credit Agreement

On November 27, 2013, in anticipation of the completion of the Dover Acquisition and to fund a portion of the purchase price therefor the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Everett Charles Technologies LLC (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), Silicon Valley Bank, as lender, administrative agent and issuing lender (“SVB”), and the several lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $55 million (the “Facility”).

 

The Facility consists of a term loan facility for $50 million that was advanced to the Company on November 27, 2013 (the “Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility (including a letter of credit facility) for up to $5 million (the “Revolving Loan” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Loans”) that is available from time to time for five years after November 27, 2013 (the “Closing Date”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, not more than one time during the period commencing on the Closing Date until the close of business on the date that is one day prior to the 42-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Facility may be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed $20 million through an additional facility on a pari passu basis with the Term Loan, subject to specified conditions and the agreement of one or more Lenders to participate therein. At July 31, 2014, approximately $1.0 million was outstanding in the form of standby letters of credit. The standby letters of credit have various expiration dates, of which the latest is January 2015.

All obligations under the Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Borrowers’ existing and future assets, including a pledge of the stock or other equity interests of the Borrowers’ domestic subsidiaries and of any first tier foreign subsidiaries, provided that not more than 66% of the voting stock of any such foreign subsidiaries shall be required to be pledged.

The Credit Agreement requires that the Term Loan be repaid in quarterly installments, with 5% of the principal due the first year, 7.5% of principal due the second year, 10% of principal due the third year, 12.5% of principal due the fourth year, 15% of principal due the fifth year, and a final payment of $25 million due on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”). All outstanding Loans under the Facility mature on the Maturity Date unless earlier payment is required under the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan is subject to optional and mandatory prepayment in whole and part as described in the Credit Agreement, subject to certain criteria. Loans outstanding under the Facilities may, at the Borrowers’ option, be prepaid at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, if any, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Facility bear interest, at a base rate plus a margin of up to 2.50% per annum, or at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of up to 3.50% per annum, in either case based on the Company’s ratio of consolidated senior debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) (the “Leverage Ratio”), or at a LIBOR rate plus a margin (such margin not to exceed a per annum rate of 3.50%) based on the Leverage Ratio. The selection of the interest rate formula is at the Company’s discretion. The interest rate otherwise payable under the Facility will be subject to increase by 2.0% per annum during the continuance of a payment default and may be subject to increase by 2.0% per annum during the continuance of any other event of default under the Credit Agreement. Certain customary fees and expenses are also payable in connection with the Facility. At July 31, 2014, the interest rate in effect on the Facility was 3.73%.

The obligations of the Company under the Facility may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, which includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, the failure to comply with covenants, ERISA defaults, judgment defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and cross defaults to material indebtedness.

Covenants

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, subject in certain cases to baskets and exceptions, including negative covenants with respect to indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, dispositions, restricted payments, investments, ERISA matters, matters relating to subordinated debt, affiliate transactions, sale and leaseback transactions, swap agreements, accounting changes, negative pledge clauses, clauses restricting subsidiary distributions, lines of business, amendments to certain documents and use of proceeds. The Credit Agreement also contains customary reporting and other affirmative covenants. The Credit Agreement contains a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, consolidated leverage ratio and liquidity requirements. The Credit Agreement required the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended January 31, 2014. At January 31, 2014, the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio exceeded this ratio threshold, resulting in an event of default under the Credit Agreement. On April 15, 2014, the Company executed a First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Waiver (the “Credit Agreement Amendment and Waiver”) pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed, among other things, to waive the occurrence of the event of default resulting from the Company’s failure to meet the above described financial covenant in the Credit Agreement provided, that the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio for the four fiscal quarters ended January 31, 2014 did not exceed 3.66 to 1.00. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement Amendment and Waiver, the parties also agreed to modify the definition of “consolidated net income” to include, in the calculation of consolidated net income for periods following the closing of the Dover Acquisition, net income (or loss) attributable to the Acquired Businesses for specified periods prior to the closing of the Dover Acquisition.

As of July 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement and Credit Agreement Amendment and Waiver, including the consolidated leverage ratio.

Seller Financing—Promissory Notes

As described in Note 3 above, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in connection with the closing of the Dover Acquisition, the Company issued promissory notes having an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million to certain of the Sellers.

Subject to certain conditions, the original principal amount of the promissory notes are subject to reduction upon written certification from the Company to Dover prior to January 1, 2015 of certain specified events related to the Company’s relocation from or refurbishment of certain properties of the Acquired Businesses, or the prepayment of the promissory notes in full prior to such date. In January 2014, the Company executed leases for two new facilities, and in February 2014, the Company provided written certification to Dover of a planned relocation from certain properties of the Acquired Businesses. Consequently, the original amount principal amount of the promissory notes issued to Dover was reduced by $2.0 million. [The promissory notes may be reduced by an additional $1.75 million upon certification from the Company to Dover of other specified events that have not yet occurred.] As of July 31, 2014, the aggregate principal amount of the promissory notes is $18.0 million. The promissory notes accrue interest on the unpaid balance for each day that they remain outstanding after December 1, 2014 at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR plus 10%, and may be prepaid by the Company at any time without penalty prior to May 1, 2019. The promissory notes are subject to repayments of $1.3 million on December 1 and June 1 of each year starting in June 2015, until the notes are paid in full.

Bank Term Loan—Commerzbank

In May 2014, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Commerzbank to finance the purchase of the Company’s leased facility in Rosenheim, Germany. The principal amount of the term loan is 2.9 million euro ($3.9 million, using a July 31, 2014 exchange rate), payable over 10 years at an annual interest rate of 2.35%. Principal plus accrued interest is due quarterly over the duration of the term loan.
