Debt Refinancing

On May 24, 2012, the Company entered into a $150,000 senior secured credit facility (“ABL Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”). The ABL Facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (“ABL Revolver”) and a $50,000 term loan (“ABL Term Loan”). In addition, the Company entered into a $30,000 term loan (“Term B Loan”) with MacKay Shields LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in its capacity as investment advisor or subadviser with investment authority for certain discretionary client accounts. Wilmington Trust National Association (“Wilmington Trust”) serves as the administrative agent under the Term B Loan. The purpose of the new ABL Facility and the Term B Loan was to, among other things, refinance the Company's then existing indebtedness. The ABL Facility and the Term B Loan each have a maturity date of May 24, 2017. The Company has the ability to request that the borrowing capacity of the ABL Revolver be increased to as much as $150,000, at the discretion of the participating lenders.

ABL Facility

The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all owned or hereafter acquired property and assets, together with all proceeds and products thereof, of Unifi, Inc., Unifi Manufacturing, Inc. and its subsidiary guarantors (the “Loan Parties”) other than the assets to which the Loan Parties have a second-priority lien. It is also secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of the stock of (or other ownership interests in) each of the Loan Parties (other than the Company) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties; provided, that only 65% of the stock of (or other ownership interests in) first tier controlled foreign corporations are pledged, together with all proceeds and products thereof. The ABL Facility is further secured by a second-priority lien on the Company's indirect limited liability company membership interest in Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”).

The ABL Facility includes representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are usual and customary for financings of this type. Should excess availability under the ABL Revolver fall below the greater of $10,000 or 15% of maximum availability, an ABL Facility financial covenant requiring the Loan Parties to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.0 becomes effective. In addition, the ABL Facility contains certain restricted payment and restricted investment provisions, including a restriction on the payment of dividends and share repurchases, unless excess availability is greater than $20,000 for the entire thirty day period prior to the making of such a distribution or excess availability is greater than $10,000 for the entire thirty day period prior to the making of such a distribution and the fixed charge coverage ratio for the most recent twelve month period (as calculated on a pro forma basis as if the payment and any revolving loans made in connection therewith were made on the first day of such period) is at least 1.0 to 1.0. As of September 23, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants and had a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.40.

The Company's ability to borrow under the ABL Revolver will be limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to certain conditions and limitations. ABL Revolver borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (the “LIBOR Rate”) plus an applicable margin of 1.75% to 2.25% or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% to 1.25% with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. The applicable margin is based on the average quarterly excess availability under the ABL Revolver. The Base Rate means the greatest of (i) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) the LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. There is also an unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25% to 0.375% of the unused line amount which is paid monthly.

The Company had $2,175 of standby letters of credit at September 23, 2012, none of which have been drawn upon. As of September 23, 2012, the Company had $30,226 of excess availability under the ABL Revolver.

Under the terms of the ABL Facility, the Company is required to hedge at least $50,000 of variable interest rate exposure so long as the outstanding principal of all indebtedness having variable interest rates exceeds $75,000. The weighted average interest rate for the ABL Revolver as of September 23, 2012, including the effects of all interest rate swaps, was 3.2%.

The ABL Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.25% to 2.75% or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% to 1.75% depending upon the Company's level of excess borrowing availability with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. The weighted average interest rate for the ABL Term Loan as of September 23, 2012, including the effects of all interest rate swaps, was 3.3%. The ABL Term Loan will be repaid in quarterly scheduled principal installments of $1,800 which commenced on September 1, 2012 and a balloon payment of $14,000 in May 2017. Subject to certain provisions, the ABL Term Loan may be prepaid at par, in whole or in part, at any time before the maturity date, at the Company's discretion.

Term B Loan

The Term B Loan is secured by a first-priority lien on the Company's limited liability company membership interest in PAL and a second-priority lien on the ABL Facility first-priority collateral described above. The Term B Loan also contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default comparable to those included in the ABL Facility.

The Term B Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 7.50% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.25%) with interest payable monthly. The Term B Loan does not amortize and prepayments are only required if after-tax distributions from PAL are received by the Company (100% of such distributions up to the first $3,000 per calendar year and 50% thereafter), the Company sells all or any part of its membership interest in PAL or under certain other circumstances. The Company may prepay, in whole or in part, the Term B Loan at any time subject to certain provisions, with a call premium of 3% during the first year, 2% during the second year, 1% during the third year and at par thereafter.
