On May 15, 2012, the Company entered into a five-year, $250 million senior unsecured credit facility that terminates on May 15, 2017 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility includes a $160 million revolving credit facility and a $90 million term loan. The revolving credit facility may be increased by $100 million (the "increase option") to $260 million generally by mutual agreement of the Company, the lenders, the letter of credit issuers and the administrative agent named in the related credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), subject to certain customary conditions. The Credit Facility was used to refinance the Company's then-existing $100 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (no amounts were outstanding as of May 15, 2012) and its $150 million senior unsecured term loan (balance of $90.0 million as of May 15, 2012), both of which were scheduled to mature on April 4, 2013 (the “Prior Credit Facility”), and for general corporate purposes. Quarterly principal repayments of the Credit Facility term loan of $3.75 million per quarter began June 29, 2012 and end on March 28, 2013. The final $75.0 million payment is due on May 15, 2017. As of September 29, 2012, the Company had term loan borrowings of $82.5 million outstanding under the Credit Facility, and the Company had $97.5 million of term loan borrowing outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility as of October 1, 2011. There were no revolving borrowings under either credit facility as of September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011.
The financial covenants (as defined under the Credit Facility) require that the Company maintain, as of each fiscal quarter end, a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. As of September 29, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility, at the Company's option, bear interest at a defined base rate or the LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin based upon the Company's leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. Rates would increase upon negative changes in specified Company financial metrics and would decrease upon reduction in the current total leverage ratio to no less than LIBOR plus 1.0% or base rate plus 0%. As of September 29, 2012, the Company had a borrowing rate of LIBOR plus 1.13%. The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee on the unused revolver credit commitment based on the Company's leverage ratio; the fee was 0.2% as of September 29, 2012.

In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company incurred approximately $0.9 million in new debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over the five-year term of the Credit Facility.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors and issued $175 million in principal of 5.20% Senior Notes, due on June 15, 2018 (the “Notes”). The Company had $175 million principal of Notes outstanding as of both September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011. The Note Purchase Agreement includes operational and financial covenants which include a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens and dispositions, all as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement. As of September 29, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
Cash paid for interest in fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $16.4 million, $8.6 million and $9.2 million, respectively.
