LONG-TERM DEBT

On August 14, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a real estate backed term loan agreement (as amended by the First Amendment Agreement, dated April 29, 2016, and the Second Amendment Agreement, dated September 1, 2016, the "Existing Term Loan Agreement"). The total initial borrowings under our term loan facility were $150.0 million. The Company is required to make $2.5 million principal payments quarterly. Under the Existing Term Loan Agreement, the Company at its option may request the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments in increments of at least $10.0 million, but not to exceed $50.0 million in total, subject to the approval of the lenders electing to participate in such incremental loans and the satisfaction of the conditions required by the Existing Term Loan Agreement. Proceeds from this Existing Term Loan Agreement were used to pay down borrowings under the Existing ABL Loan Agreement.

Borrowings under the Existing Term Loan Agreement bear interest at rates that, at the Company's option, can be either: (1) a base rate generally defined as the sum of (i) the highest of (x) the administrative agent's prime rate, (y) the average overnight federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (z) one-month LIBOR plus one percent (1%) per annum and (ii) a margin of 0.75%; or, (2) a LIBOR rate generally defined as the sum of (i) LIBOR (as published by Reuters or other commercially available sources) for one, two, three or six months or, if approved by all affected lenders, nine months (all as selected by the Company), and (ii) a margin of 1.75%. Interest accrued on borrowings under the Existing Term Loan Agreement is payable in arrears. Interest accrued on any LIBOR loan is payable on the last day of the interest period applicable to the loan and, with respect to any LIBOR loan of more than three (3) months, on the last day of every three (3) months of such interest period. Interest accrued on base rate loans is payable on the first day of every month. The Company is also required to pay certain customary fees to the administrative agent. The borrowers' obligations under the Existing Term Loan Agreement are secured by certain parcels of the borrowers' real property.

The Existing Term Loan Agreement includes financial covenants that require (i) the ratio of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) minus the unfinanced portion of Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to the Company’s consolidated Fixed Charges (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to be at least 1.20 to 1.00 as of the end of any period of four fiscal quarters, (ii) the ratio of the Company’s Consolidated Funded Debt (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to the Company’s EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters most recently ended to be not more than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter and (iii) the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the Company’s outstanding principal balance under the Loans (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement), divided by the Mortgaged Property Value (as defined in the Existing Term Loan Agreement) to be not more than 75% at any time. As of July 28, 2018, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of its Existing Term Loan Agreement.

On August 22, 2018, the Company notified its lenders that it intends to prepay its borrowings outstanding under its Existing Term Loan Agreement on October 1, 2018, which were approximately $110.0 million as of July 28, 2018. The Existing Term Loan Agreement was previously scheduled to terminate on the earlier of (a) August 14, 2022 and (b) the date that is ninety days prior to the termination date of the Existing ABL Loan Agreement. Concurrently with the prepayment of borrowings outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Agreement, the Company intends to draw on its Existing ABL Loan Agreement in an amount equal to its Existing Term Loan Agreement prepayment amount.

During the fiscal year ended August 1, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to an existing lease agreement for the office space utilized as the Company's corporate headquarters in Providence, Rhode Island. The amendment provides for additional office space to be utilized by the Company and extends the lease term for an additional 10 years. The lease qualifies for capital lease treatment pursuant to ASC 840, Leases, and the estimated fair value of the building was originally recorded on the consolidated balance sheet with the capital lease obligation included in long-term debt. A portion of each lease payment reduces the amount of the lease obligation, and a portion is recorded as interest expense at an effective rate of approximately 12.05%.

During the fiscal year ended July 28, 2012, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a new distribution facility in Aurora, Colorado. At the conclusion of the fiscal year ended August 3, 2013, actual construction costs exceeded the construction allowance as defined by the lease agreement, and therefore, the Company determined it met the criteria for continuing involvement pursuant to FASB ASC 840, Leases, and applied the financing method to account for this transaction during the fourth quarter fiscal 2013. Under the financing method, the book value of the distribution facility and related accumulated depreciation remains on the consolidated balance sheet. The construction allowance is recorded as a financing obligation in "Long-term debt." A portion of each lease payment reduces the amount of the financing obligation, and a portion is recorded as interest expense at an effective rate of approximately 7.32%.

As of July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017, the Company's long-term debt consisted of the following:
