Secured Credit Agreement [Abstract] |
Secured Credit Agreement | 6. SECURED CREDIT AGREEMENT On March 27, 2023, we entered into a new credit agreement (the 2023 Credit Agreement) with KeyBank National Association (KeyBank) leading a group of financial institutions (collectively, the Lenders), which replaced our previous credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the 2019 Credit Agreement). KeyBank will act as the sole administrative and collateral agent under the 2023 Credit Agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides up to $70.0 million in total credit, of which $7.5 million was used to replace the outstanding term loan balance from the 2019 Credit Agreement. The remaining $62.5 million will be available as a revolving line of credit or for future term loans. Principal payments on our existing term loan consist of quarterly principal payments of $1.25 million that are due and payable on the last business day of each March, June, September, and December until the term loan obligation is repaid. These payment conditions on the term loan are essentially the same as the 2019 Credit Agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement matures on March 27, 2028, and interest on term loan borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement is due and payable on the principal payment dates. Interest on all other borrowings is due the last day of each month. The interest rate for all borrowings on the 2023 Credit Agreement is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and is a tiered structure that varies according to the Leverage Ratio calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter. On August 31, 2023, the interest rate on our term loan and revolving line of credit was 6.9 percent and we are charged an unused credit commitment fee of 0.2 percent per annum, which is paid quarterly. The interest rate on our term loan at August 31, 2022 was 4.2 percent. The Leverage Ratio as defined by the 2023 Credit Agreement is Funded Debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) and determines the applicable interest rate as shown below:
Leverage Ratio |  | Interest Rate
Less than 1.00 |  | SOFR plus 1.50%
Between 1.00 and 2.00 |  | SOFR plus 1.75%
Between 2.01 and 2.50 |  | SOFR plus 2.25%
Greater than 2.51 |  | SOFR plus 2.75%
The 2023 Credit Agreement also contains representations, warranties, and certain covenants. While any amounts are outstanding under the 2023 Credit Agreement, we are subject to a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants regarding dispositions of property, investments, forming or acquiring subsidiaries, and business combinations or acquisitions, among other customary covenants, subject to certain exceptions. As defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement, we are (i) required to maintain a Leverage Ratio of less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio greater than 1.15 to 1.00; and (ii) we are restricted from making certain distributions to stockholders, including repurchases of common stock. However, we are permitted to make distributions, including through purchases of outstanding common stock, provided that we are in compliance with the Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenants before and after such distribution. In the event of noncompliance with these financial covenants and other defined events of default, the Lender is entitled to certain remedies, including acceleration of the repayment of amounts outstanding under the 2023 Credit Agreement. At August 31, 2023, we believe that we were in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the 2023 Credit Agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets and certain of our subsidiaries, and provides for standard events of default, such as for non-payment and failure to perform or observe covenants, and contains standard indemnifications benefitting the Lenders. In connection with the 2023 Credit Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as applicable, also entered into a Security Agreement, Intellectual Property Security Agreement, and Guaranty of Payment. We did no t have any borrowings on our revolving line of credit facilities at either of August 31, 2023 or 2022.
