Revolving Credit Facility

Indebtedness through December 31, 2015. On November 20, 2014, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Second Amended Credit Agreement) with Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T), as a Lender, Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer; Citibank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., each as a Lender, and BB&T Capital Markets, as Lead Arranger. The Second Amended Credit Agreement amended and restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Prior Credit Agreement) dated as of January 6, 2012 by and among the Company, as borrower; BB&T as Lender, Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer and a Collateral Agent; Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as a Lender and a Collateral Agent; and BB&T Capital Markets, as Lead Arranger, and as further amended. Under the Prior Credit Agreement, BB&T and Wells Fargo provided the Company with one or more revolving loans in a collective maximum principal amount of $100 million. The Second Amended Credit Agreement terminated the Revolver Notes and Swing Advance Notes under the Prior Credit Agreement. No additional fees were due or owing as a result of the termination of the aforementioned agreements.

The Second Amended Credit Agreement provides the Company with one or more revolving loans in a collective maximum principal amount of $150 million from January 1 through June 30 of each year and a maximum principal amount of $100 million from July 1 through December 31 of each year (Revolving Loan Limit) throughout the term, which ends November 20, 2019.

 

Included within the Revolving Loan Limit are sublimits for a letter of credit facility in an amount not to exceed $15 million and swing advances in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $5 million. The Revolver Loans, the Letter of Credit Facility and the Swing Advance loans are for the purpose of raising working capital and supporting general business operations. The Company is not obligated to borrow any amount under the Revolving Loan Limit. Additionally, within the Revolving Loan Limit, the Company may borrow, repay, and reborrow, at any time or from time to time while the Second Amended Credit Agreement is in effect.

Base Rate Advances (as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement) under the Revolver Loans and the Swing Advances accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement) and Euro-dollar Advances for the Revolver Loans and Swing Advances accrue interest at the Adjusted London InterBank Offered Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement). Repayment of all then outstanding principal, interest, fees and costs is due on November 20, 2019.

The Company shall reimburse BB&T for all amounts payable, including interest, under a Letter of Credit at the earlier of (i) the date set forth in the application, or (ii) one business day after the payment under such Letter of Credit by BB&T.

The Second Amended Credit Agreement is secured by interest in real property owned by us and certain collateral (as described in the Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement and Intellectual Property Security Agreement).

At December 31, 2015, the Company had $7.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolver Loans and additional available borrowing capacity of approximately $93.0 million.

Indebtedness after December 31, 2015. On January 12, 2016, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and also the First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (together, the Third Amended Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A. (BOA) as Lender, Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer; and certain other lenders including Citibank, N.A., Capital One, N.A., and SunTrust Bank (collectively, Lenders) arranged by Bank of America Merrill Lynch as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner. The Third Amended Credit Agreement amended and restated the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

Under the Third Amended Credit Agreement, the Lenders agree to provide the Company with one or more revolving loans in a collective maximum principal amount of $250 million from January 1 through June 30 of each year and a maximum principal amount of $200 million from July 1 through December 31 of each year throughout the term, which ends January 12, 2021. Included within the revolving loan limit are sublimits for a letter of credit facility in an amount not to exceed $15 million and swing line loans in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $5 million. The revolving loans, the letter of credit facility and the swing line loans are for the purpose of funding working capital needs and supporting general business operations.

 

The Company has the option to select interest rates for each loan request at the Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate. Base rate loans under the revolving loans and the swing line loans accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. Eurodollar Rate Loans for the revolving loans and swing line loans accrue interest at the Adjusted London InterBank Offered Rate plus the Applicable Rate. The Base Rate for any day is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to 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 BOA as its prime rate, and (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. The Applicable Rate means the following percentages per annum, based upon the Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio as set forth in the most recent Compliance Certificate received by the Administrative Agent as set forth in the Third Amended Credit Agreement:

Repayment of all then outstanding principal, interest, fees and costs is due on January 12, 2021.

The Company shall reimburse BOA for all amounts payable, including interest, under a letter of credit at the earlier of (i) the date set forth in the application, or (ii) one business day after the payment under such letter of credit by BOA.

The Third Amended Credit Agreement is secured by property with respect to which liens in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other holders of the obligations, are purported to be granted pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the collateral documents as referenced in the Third Amended Credit Agreement.

Compliance with Debt Covenants and RestrictionsThe Company’s ability to make scheduled principal and interest payments, borrow and repay amounts under any outstanding revolving credit facility and continue to comply with any loan covenants depends primarily on its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations. To remain in compliance with financial covenants, the Company is required to maintain specified financial ratios based on levels of debt, fixed charges, and earnings (excluding extraordinary gains and extraordinary non-cash losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, all of which are subject to the risks of the business, some of which are discussed in this report under “Risk Factors.” The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in Second Amended Credit Agreement at December 31, 2015. Under the Second Amended Credit Agreement and the Third Amended Credit Agreement, the material financial covenants and restrictions are as follows:

 

(a) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio – The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is not permitted to be less than 1.5 to 1.0, measured as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2014.

 

(b) Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio – The Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio is not permitted to exceed 3.0 to 1.0 measured as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter (and in the case of Consolidated EBITDA, for the four-quarter period ending on such date).

Failure to comply with the financial covenants could be considered a default of repayment obligations and, among other remedies, could accelerate payment of any amounts outstanding.
