Credit Agreement and Security Agreement The Company's asset-based Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), Security Agreement (“Security Agreement”) and Export Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Export Credit Agreement") are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and a pledge of 66.67% of the stock of its first-tier non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement (as amended by Fifth Amendment (the "Fifth Amendment") described below), consists of a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maximum borrowing of $28,000. The revolving commitment through the Export Credit Agreement, as amended, which lends amounts to the Company on foreign receivables is $7,000. The Credit Agreement also has an accordion feature, which allows the Company to increase maximum borrowings by up to $10,000 upon consent of the Lender (as defined below) or upon additional lenders joining the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement and the Export Agreement were amended on February 19, 2021, when the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "borrowers") entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement and the First Amendment (the "First Amendment") to the Export Credit Agreement, in each case, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking association, (the "Lender"). The combined maximum borrowings remain unchanged at $35,000; however the maximum borrowing under the Credit Agreement was decreased to $28,000 (from $30,000) and the revolving commitment through the Export Agreement was increased to $7,000 (from $5,000). The Fifth Amendment, among other things, extends the maturity date from August 6, 2021 to February 19, 2024. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of defaults. Prior to the Fifth Amendment, the Credit Agreement required the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio ("FCCR") of 1.1:1.0 any time the availability is equal to or less than 12.5% of the revolving commitment. However, the Fifth Amendment provides that the Company will not permit the fixed charge coverage ratio to be less than 1.1 to 1.0 as of the last day of any calendar month; provided that the fixed charge coverage ratio will not be tested unless (i) a default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) when the combined availability was less than or equal to the greater of (x) 10% of the lesser of the combined commitments or (y) 10% of the combined borrowing base, and $2,000, for three or more business days in any consecutive 30 day period. In the event of a default, the Company may not be able to access the revolver, which could impact the ability to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and invest in new business opportunities. The total collateral at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020 was $26,619 and $26,964, respectively and the revolving commitment was $35,000 for both periods. Total availability at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020 was $18,067 and $13,284, respectively, which exceed both the collateral and total commitment threshold. Since the availability was greater than the 10.0% of the revolving commitment as of March 31, 2021 and 12.5% of the revolving commitment at September 30, 2020, the FCCR calculation was not required. Borrowings will bear interest at the Lender's established domestic rate or LIBOR, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Fifth Amendment. The revolver has a rate based on LIBOR plus 1.75% spread, which was 1.87% at March 31, 2021 and a rate based on LIBOR plus 1.5% spread, which was 1.7% September 30, 2020. The Export Credit Agreement has a rate based on LIBOR plus 1.25% spread, which was 1.4% at March 31, 2021 and a rate based on LIBOR plus 1.0% spread, which was 1.2% at September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company also has a commitment fee of 0.25% under the Credit Agreement as amended to be incurred on the unused balance of the revolver. Foreign subsidiary borrowings Foreign debt consists of:
| March 31, 2021 |  | September 30, 2020
Term loan | $ | 2,661 |  |  | $ | 2,670 |
Short-term borrowings | 2,147 |  |  | 2,620 |
Factor | 1,815 |  |  | 469 |
Total debt | $ | 6,623 |  |  | $ | 5,759 |
Less – current maturities | (4,743) |  |  | (3,544) |
Total long-term debt | $ | 1,880 |  |  | $ | 2,215 |
Receivables pledged as collateral | $ | 2,343 |  |  | $ | 1,859 |
Interest rates on foreign borrowings are based on Euribor rates which range from 1.0% to 4.2%. The Company factors receivables from one of its customers. The Company accounts for the pledge of receivables under this agreement as short-term debt and continues to carry the receivables on its consolidated condensed balance sheets. Debt issuance costs The Company incurred debt issuance costs as it pertains to the Fifth Amendment in the amount of $45 and combined the amount with the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs prior to the amendment for a total of $86, which is included in the consolidated condensed balance sheets as a deferred charge in other current assets, net of amortization of $2 and $205 at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Other On April 10, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan to the Company was made through JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking association and the Company’s existing lender. The note has an aggregate principal amount of approximately $5,025, of which $261 was repaid in fiscal 2020 and has a two year term. The interest rate on the PPP Loan is 0.98%, which was deferred for the first six months of the term of the loan. The promissory note evidencing the PPP Loan contains customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owed from the Company, and/or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company. The loan proceeds were received on April 10, 2020 and were used for payroll payments. As of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the PPP loan balance was $4,764. PPP Loan recipients can apply for and potentially be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the Paycheck Protection Program. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payroll costs. As of March 31, 2021, based on guidance from the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Company is in the process of applying for forgiveness for the PPP Loan. However, no assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.
