See Note 4, Short-Term Borrowings, for discussion of the Revolver. The Company's debt agreements, including the Revolver, contain covenants that restrict the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedne ss, pay dividends on the Company's capital stock, make other restricted payments, including investments, sell the Company's assets, incur liens, transfer all or substantially all of the Company's assets and enter into consolidations or mergers. The Company's debt agreements also require the Company to meet certain financial covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Revolver also contains borrowing base requirements related to a ccounts receivable and inventories. These financial requirements and ratios generally become more restrictive over time and are subject to allowances for seasonal fluctuations. The most restrictive financial covenant in the debt agreements is the fixed charge coverage ratio within the Master Reimbursement Agreement with G eneral E lectric Commercial Finance, which relates to the Secured Industrial Revenue Development Bonds. In connection with the Company's decision to adopt the LIFO method of inventory accounting, effective December 30, 2007, the Company executed amendments to its debt agreements, which enable the Company to compute its financial covenants as if the Company were on the FIFO method of inventory accounting. The Company was in compliance with all such financial covenants as of March 31, 201 4. The Company's debt agreement s limit the payment of dividends and other distributions. There is an annual total distribution limitation of $50,000, less aggregate annual dividend payments totaling $23,000 that the Company presently pays on two outstanding classes of preferred stock. The Company has four o utstanding Industrial Revenue Development Bonds (“IRBs”), totaling $22.6 million that are secured by direct pay letters of credit. The interest rates shown for these IRBs in the table above reflect the costs of the direct pay letters of credit and amortization of other related costs of those IRBs. A Master Reimbursement Agreement with G eneral E lectric Commercial Finance, which provides for the direct pay letters of credit, expires in July 2016. In 2013, the Company reached an agreement to extend the term of its $5.1 million Wayne County Industrial Revenue Development Bonds included in the IRBs from June 1, 2012 to June 1, 2017. The carrying value of assets pledged for secured debt, including the Revolver, is $6 5 0.2 million. Debt repayment requirements for the next five fiscal years are (in thousands):
