Borrowings
The Company maintains an asset-based revolving credit facility that provides for, among other things a revolving commitment in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25,000, which is subject to a borrowing base derived from certain receivables, inventory and property and equipment. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company has the right to increase the revolving commitment to up to $40,000. The Company, to date, has not requested such increases. The credit facility matures on April 26, 2017. At January 3, 2015, our outstanding revolving loan balance was $11,022. The customary events of default under the credit facility (discussed below) include certain subjective acceleration clauses, which management has determined the likelihood of such acceleration is more than remote, considering the recurring losses experienced by the Company, therefore a current classification of our revolving loan payable was required.
The Company entered into a sixth amendment to the credit facility effective January 2, 2015. Pursuant to the Amendment, the following amendments to the Credit Agreement were made, among others:
The net orderly liquidation value inventory advance rate was increased from 85% to 90%.

The Company’s required excess availability related to the “Covenant Testing Trigger Period” (as defined under the Credit Agreement) under the revolving commitment under the Credit Agreement was reduced to less than $2,000 from less than $4,000 for the period commencing on any day that excess availability is less than $2,000 and continuing until excess availability has been greater than or equal to $2,000 for 45 consecutive days.
The period during which the Company is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio begins after June 30, 2016 and the applicable testing period would begin for a 5 month period ending May 31, 2016 or fiscal year 2016 rather than a trailing twelve month period. The full trailing twelve month testing period would begin with the twelve month period ending December 31, 2016.

Certain negative covenants applicable to the Company and AutoMD, a subsidiary of the Company, related to certain contractual and financial tests to permit the Company and AutoMD to consummate certain obligations set forth in the agreements entered into by the Company and AutoMD on October 8, 2014 (the “Financing Documents”) in connection with the sale of AutoMD common stock to certain investors (the “AutoMD Financing”) have been revised where the availability requirements are no longer applicable until after June 30, 2016 and further revised reducing the availability requirement to $2,000 before and after giving effect to the consummation of such obligations.
The trigger, requiring the Company to provide certain reports under the Credit Agreement, relating to excess availability under the revolving commitment under the Credit Agreement, has been reduced to less than $4,000 from less than $6,000 and continuing until excess availability has been greater than or equal to $4,000 for 45 consecutive days.
Loans drawn under the credit facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a per annum rate equal to either (a) one month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.25%, or (b) an “alternate base rate” plus an applicable margin of 0.25%. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, each applicable margin as set forth in the prior sentence is subject to reduction by up to 0.50% per annum based upon the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. At January 3, 2015, the Company’s LIBOR based interest rate was 2.44% (on $11,000 principal) and the Company’s prime based rate was 3.50% (on $22 principal). A commitment fee, based upon undrawn availability under the Credit Facility bearing interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum, is payable monthly. Under the terms of the credit agreement, cash receipts are deposited into a lock-box, which are at the Company’s discretion unless the “cash dominion period” is in effect, during which cash receipts will be used to reduce amounts owing under the Credit Agreement. The cash dominion period is triggered in an event of default or if excess availability is less than $4,000 at any time, as defined, and will continue until, during the preceding 45 consecutive days, no event of default existed and excess availability has been greater than $4,000 at all times. The Company’s excess availability was $8,329 at January 3, 2015.
Certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are co-borrowers (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) under the Credit Agreement, and certain other domestic subsidiaries are guarantors (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”) under the Credit Agreement. The Borrowers and the Guarantors are jointly and severally liable for the Borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Loan Parties’ obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured, subject to customary permitted liens and certain exclusions, by a perfected security interest in (a) all tangible and intangible assets and (b) all of the capital stock owned by the Loan Parties (limited, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, to 65% of the capital stock of such foreign subsidiaries). The Borrowers may voluntarily prepay the loans at any time with payment of a premium equal to the aggregate revolving commitments multiplied by 0.5% if such termination of the commitments occurs prior to January 2, 2016. If prepayment occurs after January 2, 2016 no premium is required. The Borrowers are required to make mandatory prepayments of the loans (without payment of a premium) with net cash proceeds received upon the occurrence of certain “prepayment events,” which include certain sales or other dispositions of collateral, certain casualty or condemnation events, certain equity issuances or capital contributions, and the incurrence of certain debt.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, investments, dispositions, prepayment of other indebtedness, mergers, and dividends and other distributions.
The period during which the Company is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio begins after June 30, 2016 and the applicable testing period would begin for a five month period ending May 31, 2016 or fiscal year 2016 rather than a trailing twelve month period. The full trailing twelve month testing period would begin with the twelve month period ending December 31, 2016. During the period when the Company is not subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio an “Availability Block” (as defined under the Credit Agreement) of $2,000 will be in effect, and thereafter the “Availability Block” will be eliminated. Beginning July 1, 2016, in the event that “excess availability” (as defined under the Credit Agreement) is less than $2,000, the Company shall be required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. Events of default under the Credit Agreement include: failure to timely make payments due under the Credit Agreement; material misrepresentations or misstatements under the Credit Agreement and other related agreements; failure to comply with covenants under the Credit Agreement and other related agreements; certain defaults in respect of other material indebtedness; insolvency or other related events; certain defaulted judgments; certain ERISA-related events; certain security interests or liens under the loan documents cease to be, or are challenged by the Company or any of its subsidiaries as not being, in full force and effect; any loan document or any material provision of the same ceases to be in full force and effect; and certain criminal indictments or convictions of any Loan Party. As of January 3, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
As of January 3, 2015, the Company had total capital leases payable of $$9,539. The present value of the net minimum payments on capital leases as of January 3, 2015 is as follows:
