6. Credit Facility

On February 21, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America"), pursuant to which Bank of America agreed to lend the Company up to $20.0 million pursuant to a revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) and up to $30.0 million pursuant to a five-year term loan (the “Term Loan”), which was used to finance the Company's $55.0 million tender offer for its shares in March 2012. See Note10 for further information.

On August 27, 2013, the Company amended and restated the credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America to finance a tender offer for shares of its common stock completed in October 2013. See Note 10 for further information. The Credit Agreement was amended and restated to:

·

To provide for up to an additional $17.0 million of borrowing under the Term Loan (the "Amended Term Loan" and together with the Revolver, the "Credit Facility"). As of September 26, 2014, the Amended Term Loan had $24.5 million principal amount outstanding with no additional availability remaining and the Revolver had $2.5 million principal amount outstanding with an additional $17.5 million availability remaining.

·

To extend the maturity date on the Revolver and the Amended Term Loan to August 27, 2018,  five years from the date of the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement.

The obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the active existing and future material U.S. subsidiaries of the Company and are secured by substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of the Company (subject to certain exceptions).

The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Facility will be, at the Company’s option, equal to either a base rate or a LIBOR base rate, plus an applicable margin percentage. The applicable margin percentage is based on the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of September 26, 2014, the applicable margin percentage was 2.00% per annum based on the consolidated leverage ratio, in the case of LIBOR rate advances, and 1.00% per annum, in the case of base rate advances. 

The Term Loan requires the amortization of principal payments in equal quarterly installments beginning December 31, 2013 through August 27, 2018, unless payments are made in advance. The Company is subject to certain covenants, including total consolidated leverage, fixed cost coverage and liquidity requirements, each as set forth in the Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.
