The Company maintains a revolving credit facility with certain lenders under its Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. The aggregate commitments from lenders under such revolving credit facility is$100,000,000 and, subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to request an increase in aggregate commitments of up to an additional $50,000,000. The revolving credit agreement requires us to maintain various financial covenants including a minimum EBIT to interest expense ratio, a minimum leverage ratio and a minimum asset coverage ratio. The agreement also contains various covenants relating to limitations on indebtedness, limitations on investments and acquisitions, limitations on sale of properties and limitations on liens and capital expenditures. The revolving credit agreement also contains other customary covenants, representations and events of defaults. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the revolving credit facility. The termination date of the revolving credit facility is March 28, 2016. As of December 31, 2012, no amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility. On December 31, 2012, $1,335,000 of the revolver capacity was committed to irrevocable standby letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business as required by vendors’ contracts resulting in $98,665,000 in available borrowings. Alamo Group Europe Limited renewed its facility with Lloyd’s TSB Bank plc.. The facility was renewed effective November 12, 2012 and any outstanding balance would bear interest at Lloyd’s Base Rate plus 2.0% per annum. The facility is unsecured but guaranteed by the U.K. subsidiaries of Alamo Group Europe Limited.

The carrying amount approximates fair value.
