The weighted average interest rate of all debt was 2.06% and 2.82% for fiscal years 2013 and 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 has a five-year term and provides for an $80 million secured revolving line of credit, which may be increased up to $120 million subject to the Company’s pro forma compliance with certain 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.
On January 31, 2012, the Company entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “First Amendment”) amending the Agreement.
The First Amendment continues 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") amending 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 certain financial covenants, the administrative agent's approval and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase.

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 reduces the interest rate margin on LIBOR loans from 2.5% to 1.5% and maintains 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.

The Second Amendment also amends the maximum leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Second Amendment has 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 reduces 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") amending 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 certain financial covenants, the administrative agent's approval and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase.
    
On October 25, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, The PrivateBank and Trust Company, Compass Bank and RBS Citizens, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents, and the other lender parties thereto. The Company's domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed certain of the Company's obligations under the Agreement.

The Credit Agreement has a five-year term and provides for a $300 million secured revolving line of credit (which may be increased up to an additional $100 million subject to the Company’s compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and pro forma compliance with certain financial covenants, notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase). Funds borrowed from the Credit Agreement were used to payoff borrowed funds under the Third Amendment.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at LIBOR plus the applicable rate as referenced in the Credit Agreement or at the option of the Company the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. as its prime rate or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%. In addition to interest charges, the Company will pay in arrears a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.20% - 0.35% based on the Company’s daily revolving exposure.

The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive and financial covenants, including covenants regarding the Company’s outstanding indebtedness and maximum leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also contains standard provisions relating to conditions of borrowing. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including the non-payment of obligations by the Company and the bankruptcy of the Company. If an event of default occurs, all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated and become immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants as of October 31, 2013.

After considering letters of credit of $2,441 that the Company has issued, available funds under the Credit Agreement were $180,159 at October 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% and requires monthly payments of $68 through April 2014. As of October 31, 2013, $405 remained outstanding under this agreement and was classified as current debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On September 2, 2013, the Company entered into an equipment security note that bears interest at a fixed rate of 2.47% and requires monthly payments of $44 through September 2018. As of October 31, 2013, $2,461 remained outstanding under this agreement and $477 was classified as current debt and $1,984 was classified as long term debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
