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.

 

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 Amended Credit Facility may be terminated or reduced by us on 90 days notice in exchange for a termination fee of 1.0% of the maximum line amount through September 30, 2011, 0.50% of such amount thereafter until September 30, 2012, 0.25% of such amount thereafter until September 30, 2013 and no fee in the final year. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility are secured by all of our assets.

 

The Amended Credit Facility requires us to meet certain levels of year-to-date earnings before taxes. The Amended Credit Facility limit on our annual capital expenditures is $2.5 million for fiscal 2011 and $2.0 million for each fiscal year thereafter. The 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 October 1, 2011, 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 $7.1 million as of October 1, 2011.
