6. Line of Credit

We have a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, which was amended and restated in March 2012 to, among other things, lower the interest rate and extend the maturity date (as so amended and restated, the “ABL”). As a result of this amendment, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 for the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the ABL. The ABL provides senior secured financing of up to $225 million, subject to a borrowing base. Availability under the ABL is subject to the assets of the Company, any subsidiary co-borrowers and any subsidiary guarantors that are available to collateralize the borrowings thereunder, and is reduced by the level of outstanding letters of credit. As of August 3, 2013, there was $39.9 million of commercial and standby letters of credit outstanding and no borrowing outstanding. As of August 3, 2013, availability under the ABL was approximately $139.4 million. There were no borrowings during the 13 and 26 week periods ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012.

The ABL provides us the right to request up to $125 million of additional commitments under this facility (or, if less, the amount permitted under the Term Loan described in Note 7), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Principal amounts outstanding under the ABL are due and payable in full in March 2017. Borrowings under the ABL bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (3) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00% or (b) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs (“Adjusted LIBOR”), in each case plus an applicable margin. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the ABL, we are required to pay a commitment fee on unutilized commitments thereunder, which is 0.375% per annum under the amended ABL, and was 0.5% per annum prior to March 2012.

If at any time the aggregate amount of outstanding loans, unreimbursed letter of credit drawings and undrawn letters of credit under the ABL exceeds the lesser of (a) the commitment amount and (b) the borrowing base, we will be required to repay outstanding loans and/or cash collateralize letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, with no reduction of the commitment amount. The ABL contains financial and other covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends. As of August 3, 2013, we were in compliance with these covenants. The obligations under the ABL are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all of our assets. We and our 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed our obligations under the ABL.
