The weighted average interest rate of all debt was 2.03% and 2.81% for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, respectively.
On April 19, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders led by The Privatebank and Trust Company, as co-lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative agent, and PNC Capital Markets, LLC, as co-lead arranger, and PNC Bank, National Association, as syndication agent. The Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2008.
The Agreement had a five-year term and provided for an $80 million secured revolving line of credit, which could be increased to up to $120 million subject to the Company’s pro forma compliance with financial covenants, the administrative agent’s approval and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase. The Company is permitted to prepay the borrowings under the revolving credit facility without penalty.
The Agreement specifies that upon the occurrence of an event or condition deemed to have a material adverse effect on the business or operations of the Company, as determined by the administrative agent of the lending syndicate or the required lenders, defined as 51% of the aggregate commitment under the Agreement, the outstanding borrowings become due and payable at the option of the required lenders. The Company does not anticipate at this time any change in business conditions or operations that could be deemed a material adverse effect by the lenders.

Borrowings under the Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of foreign subsidiaries.
On January 31, 2012, the Company entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to the Agreement.

The First Amendment continued the Company's revolving line of credit up to $80 million through April 2016 with a modification to the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio to allow for payment of a special dividend declared on February 1, 2012 and other modifications to allow the Company to participate in certain customer-sponsored financing arrangements allowing for early, discounted payment of Company invoices.

On December 26, 2012, the Company entered into a Second Amendment Agreement (the "Second Amendment") to the Agreement. The Second Amendment extends the commitment period to December 25, 2017 and increases the Company's revolving line of credit to $120 million, which may be increased to up to $200 million subject to the Company's pro forma compliance with financial covenants, the administrative agent's approval and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase.
    
The Second Amendment also amends the maximum leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Second Amendment increased the permitted leverage ratio from 2.25 to 2.85 and specifies that the leverage ratio shall not exceed 2.85 to 1.00 to the conclusion of the Agreement. Further, the Second Amendment reduced the fixed charge coverage ratio from 2.50 to 2.00 and specifies that the fixed charge coverage ratio shall not be less than 2.00 to 1.00 to the conclusion of the Agreement.

On June 4, 2013, the Company entered into a Third Amendment Agreement (the "Third Amendment") to the Agreement. The Third Amendment increases the Company's revolving line of credit to $175 million, which may be increased to up to $255 million subject to the Company's pro forma compliance with financial covenants, the administrative agent's approval and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants as of July 31, 2013.
 
Borrowings under the Agreement, as amended, bear interest, at the Company's option, at the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or the base (or “prime”) rate established from time to time by the administrative agent, in each case plus an applicable margin. The Second Amendment reduced the interest rate margin on LIBOR loans from 2.5% to 1.5% and maintained a 0% rate margin on base rate loans through March 31, 2013. Thereafter, the interest rate margin on LIBOR loans will be 1.5% to 2.5% and on base rate loans will be 0% to 1.0%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio.
After considering letters of credit of $1,748 that the Company has issued, available funds under the Agreement were $90,252 at July 31, 2013.
Borrowings under the Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of foreign subsidiaries.
In July 2013, the Company entered into a finance agreement with an insurance broker for various insurance policies that bears interest at a fixed rate of 2.15% requiring an initial down payment of $186 due with the first monthly payment of $68. The monthly payments extend through April 2014. As of July 31, 2013, $860 remained outstanding under this agreement.
Scheduled repayments under the terms of the Agreement plus repayments of other debt for the next five years are listed below:
