As of October 31, 2016, the company had a $150,000 unsecured senior five-year revolving credit facility that expires in October 2019. Included in this $150,000 revolving credit facility is a sublimit of $20,000 for standby letters of credit and a sublimit for swingline loans of $20,000. At the election of the company, and the approval of the named borrowers on the revolving credit facility and the election of the lenders to fund such increase, the aggregate maximum principal amount available under the facility may be increased by an amount up to $100,000 in aggregate. Funds are available under the revolving credit facility for working capital, capital expenditures, and other lawful purposes, including, but not limited to, acquisitions and stock repurchases. Interest expense on this credit line is determined based on a LIBOR rate (or other rates quoted by the Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A.) plus a basis point spread defined in the credit agreement. The company's non-U.S. operations also maintain unsecured short-term lines of credit in the aggregate amount of $9,130. These facilities bear interest at various rates depending on the rates in their respective countries of operation. Under the company's lines of credit, there was no outstanding debt as of October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015. The credit agreement that contains the revolving credit facility and term loan, which is described in more detail in Note 7, contains standard covenants, including, without limitation, financial covenants, such as the maintenance of minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") ratios; and negative covenants, which among other things, limit loans and investments, disposition of assets, consolidations and mergers, transactions with affiliates, restricted payments, contingent obligations, liens, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. Most of these restrictions are subject to certain minimum thresholds and exceptions. Under the revolving credit facility, the company is not limited in the amount for payments of cash dividends and stock repurchases as long as the debt to EBITDA ratio from the previous quarter compliance certificate is less than or equal to 3.25, provided that immediately after giving effect of any such proposed action, no default or event of default would exist. In fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, the company was not limited in the amount for payments of cash dividends and stock repurchases as its debt to EBITDA ratio was below the thresholds. The company was in compliance with all covenants related to the lines of credit described above as of October 31, 2016 and 2015.
