The facility matures in October of 2019. Interest on base rate loans is charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin, which depends on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter, over the applicable base interest rate. Interest on LIBOR-based loans and fees for letters of credit are charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin, which also depends on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter, over the applicable LIBOR rate. In addition, the Company pays a commitment fee per annum (depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter) on the unused portion of the Facility. As of October 4, 2015, the Company had $200 million of term loan borrowing and $32.5 million of revolving loan borrowings outstanding under the Facility, and had $3.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.
