On July 31, 2014, the Company entered into a sixth amendment and restatement of the credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement, among other things, increases the revolving credit facility to $230.0 million, provides a term loan for $16.1 million and extends the maturity date of the borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement to July 31, 2019. The revolving credit facility includes a Canadian sub-limit of $15.0 million and a European sub-limit of $10.0 million (which may be increased to $25.0 million) for borrowings in those locations.

At the Company’s election, domestic amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed at either:

LIBOR plus 1.5% to 2.5%; or
the bank’s prime lending rate minus 0.25% to 1.25%.

At the Company's election, amounts borrowed under the term loan may be borrowed at either:

LIBOR plus 2.0% to 3.0%; or
the bank’s prime lending rate minus 0.75% to plus 0.25%.

The LIBOR-based interest rate is dependent on the Company’s debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement.

Amounts borrowed under the Canadian revolving credit facility provided by the Amended Credit Agreement may be borrowed at either:

the Canadian deposit offered rate plus 1.5% to 2.5%;
the Canadian prime lending rate plus 0.0% to 1.0%; or
the US base rate plus 0.0% to 1.0%.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The term loan is amortized based on a seven-year schedule with the balance due at maturity. The Amended Credit Agreement also reduced the commitment fee for the revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Company has the option, pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, to increase the availability under the revolving credit facility by $50.0 million.

The Amended Credit Agreement was further amended in accordance with Amendment No. 1 to the Amended Credit Agreement, dated October 24, 2014 (the “Amendment”). The Amendment:

increases the revolving credit facility from $230.0 million to $250.0 million;
increases the inventory advance rate from 50% to 60%, reducing back to 50% on a pro-rata quarterly basis over 36 months commencing April 1, 2015;
reloads the term loan up to $35.0 million from $15.5 million, of which $25.0 million has been borrowed and is outstanding as of October 24, 2014;
increases the Canadian sub-limit up to $25.0 million from $15.0 million;
increases the European sub-limit up to $25.0 million from $10.0 million; and
provides minor pricing adjustments including pricing the first $22.0 million drawn on the revolver at LIBOR + 3.50%, reducing automatically on a pro-rata quarterly basis over 36 months commencing April 1, 2015.

Prior to entering into the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company was a party to a credit and security agreement, dated November 5, 2003, as amended and restated (the “Credit Agreement”), with a group of banks, under which it may borrow or issue standby letters of credit or commercial letters of credit. On March 23, 2012, the Credit Agreement was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the revolving loan commitment from $200.0 million to $220.0 million, and provide a term loan for $25.0 million that is secured by certain real estate and machinery and equipment. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed at either (1) LIBOR plus 1.75% to 2.75% or (2) the bank’s prime lending rate minus 0.25% to 1.00%, at the Company’s election. The LIBOR-based interest rate is dependent on the Company’s debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. On April 3, 2013, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the advance rate on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Interest on the term loan is at either (1) LIBOR plus 2.75% or (2) the bank’s prime lending rate plus 0.25%, at the Company’s election. The term loan is amortized based on a seven-year schedule with the balance due at maturity (April 7, 2016).
