Revolving Credit Facility

        On February 23, 2011, we entered into the First Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement ("Amended Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), pursuant to which the interest rate on future borrowings and the unused line fee were reduced, the maturity date was extended until September 30, 2014 and certain covenants were made less restrictive. On September 21, 2011, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended Credit Facility with Wells Fargo, which increased our annual capital expenditures covenant for fiscal 2011 from $2.0 million to $2.5 million. On February 22, 2012, we entered into the Third Amendment to the Amended Credit Facility ("Third Amendment") with Wells Fargo. The Third Amendment increased the total availability of the Amended Credit Facility, which fluctuates based on our level of eligible accounts receivable, by approximately $4.0 million. In addition, the Third Amendment increased our minimum trailing twelve months earnings before taxes financial covenant from a loss of $0.8 million to earnings of $0.25 million. Finally, the Third Amendment added an additional financial covenant which will require us to maintain a minimum excess borrowing base availability of not less than $3.0 million for each reporting period in fiscal 2012 and thereafter. On February 20, 2013, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Amended Credit Facility ("Fourth Amendment") with Wells Fargo. The Fourth Amendment adjusted certain collateral borrowing base calculations associated with our eligible unbilled accounts receivable and is expected to increase our borrowing availability in periods in which our fiscal period ends prior to the calendar month end, which affects our unbilled accounts receivable levels for clients on a calendar month billing cycle. In addition, the Fourth Amendment extended the term of Amended Credit Facility from September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2016. Finally, the Fourth Amendment adjusted our minimum trailing twelve months earnings before taxes financial covenant to a loss of $0.1 million for the period ending March 30, 2013, a loss of $0.3 million for the period ending June 29, 2013 and earnings of $0.25 million for periods thereafter through the expiration of the credit agreement ending on September 30, 2016.

        Under the Amended Credit Facility, Wells Fargo will continue to advance up to $15.0 million to us for working capital purposes and to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit. The total amount available for borrowing under the Amended Credit Facility will fluctuate based on our level of eligible accounts receivable.

        The Amended Credit Facility carries an interest rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.50%-2.50%.depending on our operating results. The credit facility had a one-time origination fee of $150,000, the balance of which is being amortized over the new term of the Amended Credit Facility. The annual unused line fee varies between 0.25%-0.375%, depending on our operating results, and is based on the daily average unused amount. The interest rate effective at the end of fiscal year 2012 was 2.375% and the unused line fee rate was 0.25%. The maturity date of the Amended Credit Facility is September 30, 2016 and may be terminated or reduced by us on 90 days notice in exchange for a termination fee of 0.25% of the maximum line amount or reduction of the maximum line amount through September 30, 2015 and no fee in the final year of the agreement ending on September 30, 2016. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility are secured by all of our assets.

        The Amended Credit Facility requires us to meet certain levels of trailing twelve months earnings before taxes. For fiscal 2012, we were required to exceed minimum trailing twelve months earnings before taxes of $0.25 million. For fiscal 2011, we were required to exceed a minimum trailing twelve months loss before taxes of $0.8 million. Additionally, the Amended Credit Facility limit on our annual capital expenditures was $2.5 million in fiscal 2011 and $2.0 million for each fiscal year thereafter. In fiscal 2012, we were required to maintain a minimum excess borrowing base availability of not less than $3.0 million. The Amended Credit Facility contains customary affirmative covenants, including covenants regarding annual, quarterly and projected financial reporting requirements, collateral and insurance maintenance, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, the facility contains customary negative covenants limiting our ability to grant liens, incur indebtedness, make investments, repurchase our stock, create new subsidiaries, sell assets or engage in any change of control transaction without the consent of Wells Fargo.

        Upon an event of default, Wells Fargo may terminate the facility or declare the entire amount outstanding under the facility to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights under the agreement. The events of default under the facility include, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, a change in control of the Company and bankruptcy events.

        As of December 29, 2012, we were in compliance with all the requirements and had no borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility. Total availability of the Amended Credit Facility, which fluctuates based on our level of eligible accounts receivable, was $10.9 million as of December 29, 2012.
