Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
DEBT INDEBTEDNESS
In connection with our acquisition of Opengear, we entered into a syndicated credit agreement with BMO Harris Bank N.A. ("BMO") on December 13, 2019. This agreement provides us with committed credit facilities (the "Credit Facility") totaling $150 million. The Credit Facility includes: (i) a $50 million term loan (the "Term Loan") and (ii) a $100 million revolving loan (the "Revolving Loan").
Prior to May 4, 2020, borrowings under the Credit Facility bore interest rates based on an underlying variable benchmark plus applicable margin based on our total leverage ("ABR"); this interest rate was reset quarterly. Effective May 4, 2020, borrowings under the Credit Facility bear a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin spread from 3.25% to 1.25%. The amount of the applicable margin spread is a function of our leverage ratio and is reset monthly. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee on the non-utilized commitments thereunder which is also reported in interest expense. Our weighted average interest rate at September 30, 2020 was 0.7%.
We also incurred debt issuance costs under the Credit Facility of $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. These issuance costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the loan and reported in interest expense.
Amounts under the Term Loan will be repaid in quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter. Amortization is 5% in the first two years, 7.5% in the next two years and 10% in the final year. The remaining outstanding balance will mature on December 13, 2024. The Revolving Loan is due in a lump sum payment at maturity on December 13, 2024.
The fair values of the Term Loan and Revolving Loan approximated carrying value at September 30, 2020.

Covenants and Security Interest
The agreements governing the Credit Facility contain a number of covenants. Among other thing, these covenants require us to maintain certain financial ratios (net leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge ratio). At September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with our debt covenants. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
On April 14, 2020, we were granted a loan for $9.0 million under the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). Based on our evaluation of additional rules for the PPP established after the grant acceptance, on May 4, 2020 we voluntarily repaid the full amount of the loan of $9.0 million, plus interest.
