Senior Secured Notes

On October 4, 2010, the Company issued $175,000 of senior secured notes which are included as a component of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets. These senior secured notes bear interest at an annual rate of 9.5% and mature on October 15, 2017. The senior secured notes were issued at a 2.5% discount to the initial purchasers. The debt discount at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $3,807 and $4,375, respectively. The senior secured notes are redeemable, at the Company’s option, beginning October 15, 2014 at 104.75%. Interest payments commenced on April 15, 2011, and are payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, thereafter. The senior secured notes indenture limits the amount of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries’ indebtedness, restricts certain payments and includes various other non-financial restrictive covenants. The senior secured notes are guaranteed by all of the Company’s existing domestic restricted subsidiaries. All other restricted subsidiaries that guarantee any indebtedness of the Company or the guarantors will also guarantee the senior secured notes. The proceeds from the senior secured notes issuance were used to extinguish the Company’s previously existing senior notes.

On September 20, 2010, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its senior notes. The consent payment deadline was October 1, 2010, and the tender offer expired on October 18, 2010. For senior notes tendered before the consent payment deadline, the note holders received $1,002.50 for each $1,000.00 of principal amount of notes tendered. There was $109,733 of senior notes tendered prior to the consent payment deadline and an additional $154 tendered after the consent payment deadline but before the tender offer deadline. Holders tendering senior notes after the consent payment deadline were eligible to receive only the tender offer consideration of $1,000.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount of senior notes. On November 4, 2010, all senior notes which were not tendered were redeemed by the Company at par. In conjunction with the 2010 extinguishment, the Company recognized a loss of $1,346 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The 2010 loss was comprised of a non-cash charge of $1,022 related to the write-off of deferred finance costs and a cash charge of $324 which represents premiums that were paid to extinguish the senior notes and professional fees that were paid related to the tender offer.

Credit Facilities

On November 2, 2007, the Company entered into an asset-based credit facility (the “credit facility”), which permits borrowing up to a maximum level of $100,000. In connection with the senior secured notes issuance, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”) relating to the credit facility on September 20, 2010 which became effective on October 4, 2010. In addition, on December 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Agreement (i) provided certain consents necessary for the issuance of the senior secured notes, (ii) extended the expiration date of the credit facility to November 1, 2012 and (iii) granted the facility agent, for the benefit of the lenders, second priority liens and security interests in the collateral subject to first priority liens and security interests in favor of the collateral agent for the holders of the senior secured notes. The Second Amended and Restated Agreement extended the termination date of the credit facility to December 1, 2016 (approximately a four-year extension), increased the borrowing base by increasing the sublimit on eligible inventory located at Mexican facilities and made changes to certain covenants relating to, among other things, guarantees, investments, capital expenditures and permitted indebtedness. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were $38,000 and $0 in borrowings outstanding on this credit facility, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on the borrowings outstanding was 1.7% at December 31, 2011. The borrowings are included as a component of short-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets and are expected to be repaid over the next twelve months. The available borrowing capacity on this credit facility is based on eligible current assets, as defined. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had undrawn borrowing capacity of $29,540 and $61,251, respectively, based on eligible current assets. The credit facility does not contain financial performance covenants which would constrain the Company’s borrowing capacity. However, restrictions do include limits on capital expenditures, operating leases, dividends and investment activities in a negative covenant which limits investment activities to $15,000 minus certain guarantees and obligations. The credit facility expires on December 1, 2016 and requires a commitment fee of 0.375% on the unused balance. Interest is payable quarterly at either (i) the higher of the prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, plus a margin of 0.00% to 0.25% or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.75%, depending upon the Company’s undrawn availability, as defined. The Company received a waiver and amendment to extend the delivery of certain documents required for the Company’s acquisition of an additional interest in PST. Other than this waiver, the Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

On October 13, 2009, the Company’s majority owned consolidated subsidiary, BCS, entered into a master revolving note (the “Revolver”), which permits borrowing up to a maximum level of $3,000. On September 30, 2011, BCS amended the Revolver to extend the maturity date to September 28, 2012 and maintained the interest rate margin at 2.0%. The available borrowing capacity on the Revolver is based on an advance formula, as defined. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, BCS had additional borrowing capacity of $0 and $1,089 based on the advance formula. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, BCS had $1,181 and $742 in borrowings outstanding on the Revolver, respectively, which are included on the consolidated balance sheets as a component of short-term debt. Interest is payable monthly at the prime referenced rate plus a 2.0% margin. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the interest rate on the Revolver was 5.25%. The Company is a guarantor of BCS as it relates to the Revolver. The Revolver contains certain financial restrictive covenants. BCS violated the fixed charge and tangible net worth covenants related to the Revolver during the first quarter of 2011 and during the fourth quarter of 2010. BCS received waivers for those covenant violations. Subsequent to these violations, the fixed charge and tangible net worth covenants have been eliminated from the Revolver through its expiration.
