Unsecured Term Notes We entered into a note agreement dated August 11, 2008 that provided for the issuance of $11.0 million of unsecured term notes with a fixed interest rate of 8.01% and a term of seven years. Principal payments of $2.2 million per year were due on the notes beginning August 11, 2011. Any principal prepayments would be assessed a penalty as defined in the agreement. The agreement contains customary financial and other covenants as defined in the agreement. On August 11, 2015, we paid our last annual payment of $2.2 million and this agreement has been paid in full. Revolving Credit Agreement –United States At May 3, 2015, our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo provided for an unsecured revolving loan commitment of $10.0 million to be used to finance working capital and general corporate purposes. Interest was charged at a rate (applicable interest rate of 1.78% at May 3, 2015) equal to the one-month LIBOR rate plus a spread based on the ratio of debt to EBITDA as defined in the agreement. The Credit Agreement contained customary financial and other covenants as defined in the agreement and was set to expire August 31, 2015. Effective July 10, 2015, we amended the Credit Agreement to extend the expiration date to August 31, 2017 and maintain the annual capital expenditure limit of $12 million. We entered into a Second Amendment to our Credit Agreement dated March 10, 2016. The terms of the Second Amendment include, among other things, provisions that (i) increase our line of credit under the Credit Agreement to $30 million, (ii) increase the annual limit on capital expenditures by the company to $15 million, (iii) add a new financial covenant to establish a minimum level of unencumbered liquid assets, (iv) eliminate certain financial covenants, (v) amend the pricing matrix that provides for interest payable on obligations under the agreement as a variable spread over LIBOR, based on the company’s ratio of debt to EBITDA (applicable interest rate of 1.89% at May 1, 2016), and (vi) provide that obligations under the Credit Agreement are to be secured by a pledge of 65% of the common stock of Culp International Holdings Ltd, our subsidiary located in the Cayman Islands. The purpose of the increase in our revolving credit line with Wells Fargo is to support potential short term cash needs in different jurisdictions within our global operations, mitigate our risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, and support repatriation of earnings and profits from our foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. for various strategic purposes. At May 1, 2016, and May 3, 2015, there were $250,000 in outstanding letters of credit (all of which related to workers compensation) provided by the Credit Agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding under the agreement at May 1, 2016, and May 3, 2015. Revolving Credit Agreement - China At May 3, 2015, we had an unsecured credit agreement associated with our operations in China that provided for a line of credit up to 40 million RMB and was set to expire on February 9, 2016. On March 8, 2016, we renewed this credit agreement. This renewal extended the expiration date to March 8, 2017 and maintained the existing available line of credit of 40 million RMB ($6.2 million USD). This agreement has an interest rate determined by the Chinese government and there were no outstanding borrowings as of May 1, 2016 and May 3, 2015. Overall Our loan agreements require, among other things, that we maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. At May 1, 2016, the company was in compliance with these financial covenants. Interest paid during 2016, 2015, and 2014 totaled $95,000, $268,000, and $466,000, respectively.
