Note 7—Borrowings

In August 2010, the Company executed a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") and other definitive documentation for a $35 million secured credit facility (the "Facility"). Silicon Valley Bank ("Bank") is the lender under the Facility. The Facility is comprised of a term loan in the original principal amount of $25 million and a revolving line of credit with availability up to $10 million. The Facility has a final maturity date of June 30, 2014, and borrowings under the Facility bear interest, at the election of the Company, at LIBOR (with a floor of 1.25%) plus a margin of from 2.00% to 3.00% per annum, or at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus a margin of from 1.00% to 2.00% per annum, based upon the Company's maximum funded debt ratio. An unused revolving line fee of 0.375% per annum is payable on the undrawn committed amount of the revolving line of credit. Interest on outstanding borrowings under the term loan and the revolving line of credit is payable no less than quarterly and the outstanding principal of the term loan is amortized over four years and payable quarterly, with any outstanding amount under the Facility to be paid in full on the final maturity date. Borrowings under the Facility are secured by liens over all assets of the Company, including shares of stock in each of the Company's subsidiaries. Ten of the Company's subsidiaries are acting as co-borrowers under the Facility.

The Loan Agreement requires the Company to comply with a number of restrictive covenants, including financial covenants related to maximum funded debt to consolidated EBITDA, liquidity, and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratios; negative pledge requirements; requirements to deliver quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements; requirements to maintain adequate insurances; prohibitions on changes in the business and disposition of the Company's assets; and other customary covenants. The Loan Agreement also requires the Company to obtain a prior written consent from the Bank when the Company determines to pay any dividends on or make any distribution related to its common stock. The Loan Agreement includes usual and customary events of default and remedies for facilities of this nature. In February 2011, the Company and the Bank entered into Amendment No. 1 to Loan and Security Agreement and Limited Waiver ("Amendment"). The Amendment waived the Company's lack of compliance with the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio covenant in the Loan Agreement as of January 1, 2011. The Amendment also amended the definitions of "Baseline Liquidity and Consolidated EBITDA" to more readily accommodate the Company's integration of the WAG acquisition. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility.

The Loan Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, contains the following financial covenants:

 

  •  

Maximum funded debt to consolidated EBITDA. A ratio of aggregate credit extensions outstanding to trailing 12 month consolidated EBITDA of not greater than the following:

 

  •  

2.25:1.00 from effective date through quarter ending September 30, 2010

 

  •  

2.00:1.00 for quarters ending December 31, 2010 through June 30, 2011

 

  •  

1.50:1.00 for quarters ending September 30, 2011 through June 30, 2012

 

  •  

1.00:1.00 for each quarter ending thereafter

 

  •  

Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio for the period set forth below of not less than the ratio set forth below:

 

  •  

1.10:1.00 for two quarters ending December 31, 2010

 

  •  

1.25:1.00 for three quarters ending March 31, 2011

 

  •  

1.25:1.00 for four quarters ending June 30, 2011, September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011

 

  •  

1.50:1.00 for each quarter ending thereafter

 

  •  

Liquidity as follows:

 

  •  

Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (less outstanding advances) should be greater than $7,500,000 plus integration capital expenditures added back.

The Company's financial covenant ratios under the Loan Agreement as of July 2, 2011 were 1.16:1.00 for maximum funded debt to consolidated EBITDA and 1.58:1.00 for consolidated fixed charge coverage. As of July 2, 2011, the Company's required liquidity under the Loan Agreement was $11,400,000, and adding back the integration capital expenditures, the Company's liquidity was $17,362,000.

The Company expects to be in compliance with the financial covenants in the Loan Agreement through the term of the Loan Agreement. However, it is possible that a default under certain financial covenants may occur in the future, should the Company's forecasted EBITDA levels not be achieved. If the Company defaults on any of the covenants under the Loan Agreement and is unable to obtain waivers from the Bank, the Bank will be able to exercise their rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement, including a call provision on outstanding debt, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition.

At July 2, 2011, the LIBOR rate and the margin were 1.25% and 2.50% per annum, respectively. The Company had no borrowings on the revolving line of credit at July 2, 2011. The remaining term loan balance was $21 million as of July 2, 2011 and is to be repaid according to the following schedule (in thousands):

Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of our long-term debt under the facility approximated its carrying amount as of July 2, 2011.
