10. Credit Agreement

        On April 24, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement that provides the Company with a $125.0 million revolving credit facility and a $15 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Company may use the proceeds of the revolving credit loans to provide working capital and for other general corporate purposes. The Company may repay any borrowings under the revolving credit facility at any time, but no later than April 24, 2018. Upon entering into the agreement, the Company borrowed $15.0 million under the revolving credit facility, which it used, together with cash on hand, to repay in full all indebtedness outstanding under the Company's previous credit agreement, whereupon such agreement was terminated. The Company also borrowed an additional $2.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 under the multi-currency portion of the credit agreement. There was no amount outstanding under this revolving line of credit as of September 28, 2013 as the Company repaid $12.2 million and $5.1 million during the second quarter and third quarter of fiscal 2013, respectively,

        As of September 28, 2013, the amount available under this revolving line of credit was reduced by certain letters of credit outstanding, which amounted to $0.4 million. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum of either (i) the adjusted base rate, as defined in the credit agreement, plus an applicable margin, which varies between 0.50% and 1.50% depending on the Company's total leverage ratio as determined under the credit agreement, or (ii) the adjusted eurocurrency rate, as defined in the credit agreement, plus an applicable margin, which varies between 1.50% and 2.50% depending on the Company's total leverage ratio. The Company is required to pay a fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility at a rate per annum that varies between 0.25% and 0.375% depending on its total leverage ratio. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by 100% of the stock of certain of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of certain of its foreign subsidiaries, which represent approximately $4.9 million in net assets as of September 28, 2013.

        Under the credit agreement, the Company must comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. Compliance with these financial covenants is tested on a fiscal quarterly basis. Any indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility may become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of stated events of default, including the Company's failure to pay principal, interest or fees or a violation of any financial covenant. The financial covenants require the Company to maintain a consolidated interest expense to adjusted consolidated EBITDA ratio of not more than 2.5 to 1.0 and to comply with a consolidated debt to adjusted consolidated EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0. The non-financial covenant restrictions of the senior credit agreement include, but are not limited to, the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in acquisitions or dispositions, and enter into business combinations.
