On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") by and among the Company, the other Borrowers party thereto, the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, which amended and restated the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2010, by and among the Company and the other parties named therein, as amended (the “Prior Credit Agreement”).

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things, provides for the following:


•	An increase in the maximum leverage ratio for the first three quarters of 2014, with quarterly ratios as described in the following table:



Fiscal Quarter Ending	Maximum Leverage Ratio
March 31, 2014	4.75	to	1.00
June 30, 2014	4.50	to	1.00
September 30, 2014	4.00	to	1.00
December 31, 2014 and thereafter	3.50	to	1.00

The quarterly minimum interest coverage ratio remains 3.50 to 1.00 in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.


•	In calculating the Company’s EBITDA for purposes of determining the leverage and interest coverage ratios, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement allows the Company to add back to EBITDA up to $20,000,000 for one-time cash restructuring charges incurred after May 30, 2013, which is an incremental increase of $5,000,000 from the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement.


•	A decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility to $100,000,000 from $250,000,000 through the maturity date of the facility in October 2015, as well as reductions in the facility’s swing line loan, optional currency and foreign borrower sublimits.


•	Reductions in the allowances under the facility for capital expenditures (down to $25,000,000 annually), dividends, other indebtedness and liens.


•	Further restrictions on acquisitions, share repurchases, certain investments and repurchases of convertible debt until after the Company confirms compliance with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement following the quarter ending December 31, 2014.


•	An increase of 25 basis points in the margin applicable to determining the interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

As a result of the amendment, the Company incurred $351,000 in fees in the first quarter of 2014 which were capitalized and are being amortized through October, 2015. In addition, as a result of reducing the capacity of the facility from $250,000,000 to $100,000,000, the Company wrote-off $1,070,000 in fees previously capitalized in the first quarter of 2014, which is reflected in the expense of the North America / HME segment.

In 2007, the Company issued $135,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2027. The debentures are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, pay interest at 4.125% per annum on each February 1 and August 1, and are convertible upon satisfaction of certain conditions into cash, common shares of the Company, or a combination of cash and common shares of the Company, subject to certain conditions. The debentures allow the Company to satisfy the conversion using any combination of cash or stock, and at the Company’s discretion. The Company intends to satisfy the accreted value of the debentures using cash. Assuming adequate cash on hand at the time of conversion, the Company also intends to satisfy the conversion spread using cash, as opposed to stock.

The Company may from time to time seek to retire or purchase its 4.125% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2027, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material.

The liability components of the Company’s convertible debt consist of the following (in thousands):



	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
Principal amount of liability component	$	13,350		$	13,350
Unamortized discount	(2,539		)	(2,709		)
Net carrying amount of liability component	$	10,811		$	10,641

The Company is a party to an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert a portion of floating rate revolving credit facility debt to fixed rate debt to avoid the risk of changes in market interest rates. Specifically, an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $12,000,000 through April 2014 was entered into that fixed the LIBOR component of the interest rate on that portion of the revolving credit facility debt at a rate of 0.54% for an effective aggregate rate 2.79%. As of March 31, 2014, the weighted average floating interest rate on revolving credit borrowings was 2.41% compared to 2.39% as of December 31, 2013.
