Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, which matures on September 25, 2018, the Company can borrow up to a combined $15.0 million in the U.S. and Canada, subject to borrowing base availability from secured domestic and certain Canadian assets, such as accounts receivable and inventory, and other requirements, under a revolving line of credit. The Credit Agreement covenants restrict debt, liens, share repurchases and investments, and require achieving a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio with respective performance metrics as defined by the Credit Agreement if a minimum availability is not met. In a seventh amendment to the Credit Agreement executed on December 14, 2017, the lenders increased the borrowing limit for the Company’s Canadian subsidiary and adjusted minimum availability requirements for borrowers in the U.S. and Canada with a limited waiver of related covenant non-compliance retroactive to October 31, 2017.
