10. | LINES OF CREDIT
Revolving Credit Agreement –United States Our credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) provides a revolving loan commitment of $30 million. Interest was charged at a rate (applicable interest rate of 2.45% and 1.89% at April 30, 2017 and May 1, 2016, respectively) as a variable spread over LIBOR based on our ratio of debt to EBITDA. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial and other covenants as defined in the agreement and is set to expire on August 15, 2018. The purpose of our revolving credit line 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. Outstanding borrowings are secured by a pledge of 65% of the common stock of Culp International Holdings, Ltd. (our subsidiary located in the Cayman Islands), as required by the Credit Agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement at April 30, 2017 and May 1, 2016, respectively. At April 30, 2017 and May 1, 2016, there were $250,000 in outstanding letters of credit (all of which related to workers compensation) provided by the Credit Agreement. Effective August 1, 2016, we entered into a Third Amendment to our Credit Agreement that will allow us to issue letters of credit not to exceed $7.5 million. On August 3, 2016, we issued a $5.0 million letter of credit (all of which is currently outstanding and in addition to the $250,000 letter of credit noted above) for the construction of a new building associated with our mattress fabrics segment (see Note 11 for further details). This $5.0 million letter of credit will automatically be reduced in increments of $1.25 million on August 1, 2017, November 1, 2017, February 1, 2018, and May 15, 2018, respectively. Revolving Credit Agreement - China We have an unsecured credit agreement associated with our operations in China that provided for a line of credit up to 40 million RMB ($5.8 million USD at April 30, 2017) and is set to expire on February 15, 2018.This agreement has an interest rate determined by the Chinese government and there were no outstanding borrowings as of April 30, 2017 and May 1, 2016. Overall Our loan agreements require, among other things, that we maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. At April 30, 2017, the company was in compliance with these financial covenants. Interest paid during fiscal years 2017, 2016, and 2015 totaled $114,000, $95,000, and $268,000, respectively.
