On May 25, 2006, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended, the “Previous Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”). The Previous Credit Agreement provided for a $125 million unsecured revolving line of credit maturing on October 1, 2017. The Previous Credit Agreement was used to provide for working capital needs, capital improvements, future acquisitions and letter of credit needs.

On March 27, 2013, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America and other lenders. The Credit Agreement replaced the Previous Credit Agreement, which terminated effective March 27, 2013, and provides for a $75 million term facility and a $225 million revolving credit facility, subject to a $75 million “accordion” feature. The Credit Agreement is used to provide for working capital needs, capital improvements, future acquisitions and letter of credit needs. The Credit Agreement provides for an applicable margin on the revolving credit facility ranging from 1.0% to 2.0% over the Eurodollar Rate and Commitment Fees ranging from .20% to .30% depending on our Leverage Ratio. The revolving credit facility matures on March 27, 2018. The $75 million term facility requires quarterly principal and interest payments commencing on June 30, 2013 and matures on March 27, 2018.

The Credit Agreement provides various financial covenants requiring us, among other things, to a) maintain on a consolidated basis net worth equal to at least the sum of $230.0 million, plus 50% of future net income, b) maintain on a consolidated basis a Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not to exceed 3.25:1.0, c) maintain on a consolidated basis a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 1.75:1.0 and d) not to make Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Credit Agreement) on a consolidated basis in an amount in excess of $60 million during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014 and $50 million during any subsequent year.

At February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, we had no outstanding debt against the revolving credit facility provided under the Previous Credit Agreement. As of February 28, 2013, we had letters of credit outstanding under the Previous Credit Agreement in the amount of $13.9 million, which left approximately $111.1 million of additional credit available under the Previous Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for the assumption of these letters of credit outstanding under the Previous Credit Agreement, and these letters of credit, together with any additional letters of credit that became effective after February 28, 2013, reduce the available credit under the Credit Agreement.

On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.24% unsecured Senior Notes (the “2008 Notes”) due March 31, 2018 through a private placement (the “2008 Note Offering”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company’s payment obligations with respect to the 2008 Notes may be accelerated upon any Event of Default, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement. In connection with the 2008 Note Offering, the Company obtained the consent of Bank of America to the 2008 Note Offering and the agreement of Bank of America that the 2008 Note Offering will not constitute a default under the Credit Agreement.

The Company entered into an additional Note Purchase Agreement on January 21, 2011 (the “2011 Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company issued $125 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.42% unsecured Senior Notes (the “2011 Notes”), due in January of 2021, through a private placement (the “2011 Note Offering”). Pursuant to the 2011 Agreement, the Company’s payment obligations with respect to the 2011 Notes may be accelerated under certain circumstances. In connection with the 2011 Note Offering, the Company obtained the consent of Bank of America to the 2011 Note Offering and the agreement of Bank of America that the 2011 Note Offering will not constitute a default under the Credit Agreement.

The 2008 Notes and the 2011 Notes each provide for various financial covenants requiring us, among other things, to a) maintain on a consolidated basis net worth equal to at least the sum of $116.9 million plus 50% of future net income; b) maintain a ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA (as defined in Note Purchase Agreement) not to exceed 3.25:1.00; c) maintain on a consolidated basis a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of at least 2.0:1.0; d) not at any time permit the aggregate amount of all Priority Indebtedness (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) to exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Worth (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement).

As of February 28, 2013, the Company is in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

On October 28, 2011, the Company entered into a Private Shelf Agreement by and among the Company, Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”) and the other purchasers identified therein (the “Private Shelf Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, through one or more private placement transactions, up to $100 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes (the “Shelf Notes”) with interest rates to be agreed upon by the Company and Prudential immediately prior to each issuance and sale of Shelf Notes (each, a “Note Offering” and together, the “Note Offerings”). Pursuant to the Private Shelf Agreement, the Company's payment obligations with respect to the Shelf Notes may be accelerated upon any Event of Default, as defined in the Private Shelf Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, undertaking the Note Offerings will not otherwise constitute a default under the Credit Agreement. We have not undertaken any Note Offerings under the Private Shelf Agreement.
