On November 22, 2010, this agreement was amended to increase the availability under the facility to $100,000. On April 2011, the Company entered into an additional amendment to increase the availability under the facility to $150,000 and extend the maturity date to October 23, 2015. |  |  |  |  |
Line of Credit Facility, Description |  |  |  |  | The WF Credit Agreement replaced the Company's existing $185,000 senior secured financing agreement with Fortress Credit Corp., as collateral agent, Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as administrative agent. Advances under the WF Credit Agreement will bear interest as follows: (a)(i) LIBOR Rate Loans bear interest at the LIBOR Rate and (ii) Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Base Rate, plus (b) an applicable margin. The initial applicable margin for borrowing is 2.25% in the case of Base Rate Loans and 2.50% in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans. The applicable margin may be reduced subject to the Company achieving certain trailing twelve month earning levels, as defined. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the WF Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay an unused revolver fee to lenders under the WF Credit Agreement in respect of unused commitments thereunder. |  |  |  |  |
Amendment To Credit Agreement |  |  |  |  | On July 30, 2012, the Company entered into a further amendment to the WF Credit Agreement.
