DEBT AND CREDIT AGREEMENT
DEBT AND CREDIT AGREEMENT
 
We are party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other financial institutions. On September 21, 2012, we entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which increased the maximum principal amount of the credit facility from $75,000 to $100,000, with an option to increase the principal amount by up to an additional $50,000, subject to customary conditions and approval of the lender(s) providing new commitment(s). The amendment also extended the maturity date from February 25, 2016 to September 21, 2017. The credit facility provides for variable rates of interest based on the type of borrowing and the Company's debt to EBITDA financial ratio. At January 26, 2013, the interest rate on the credit facility is 1.5% plus LIBOR. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. At January 26, 2013, we were in compliance with the covenants of the agreement. During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, we had borrowings of $28,500 and payments of $37,233, which includes interest of $733 under this credit facility. As of January 26, 2013, there were outstanding balances against the credit facility of $40,000.  There was $60,000 available to borrow under the credit facility as of January 26, 2013, which does not include the option to increase the principal amount. We believe the fair value approximates the carrying amount as of January 26, 2013.
