LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

6. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

At September 30, 2012, the Company had no long-term obligations.  At December 31, 2011, the Company had long-term obligations of $5,000, which consisted of equipment and other notes payable.  Certain equipment was pledged as collateral under the Company’s equipment notes payable.

Credit Facility and Other Obligations

At September 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $0.8 million in non-cancelable operating lease obligations.

Credit Facility

On April 6, 2010, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with First Tennessee Bank National Association for a $20.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and on December 21, 2011 the credit facility was renewed and our unsecured revolving credit facility was increased to $25.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and financial, affirmative and negative covenants for loan agreements of this kind. Covenants under the Credit Facility restrict the payment of cash dividends if the Company would be in violation of the minimum tangible net worth test or the leverage ratio test in the current loan agreement as a result of the dividends, among various other restrictions.

In the absence of a default, all borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the LIBOR Rate plus 1.50% per annum. The Company will pay a non-usage fee under the current loan agreement in an annual amount between 0.15% and 0.35% of the unused amount of the Credit Facility, which fee shall be paid quarterly. The Credit Facility is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2014.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates affect the interest paid on indebtedness under the Credit Facility because outstanding amounts of indebtedness under the Credit Facility are subject to variable interest rates. Under the Credit Facility, the non-default rate of interest was equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.50% per annum (for a rate of interest of 1.71% at September 30, 2012). Because there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, a one percent change in the interest rate on our variable-rate debt would not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012.
