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 $30,000, which is subject to a borrowing base derived from certain receivables, inventory and property and equipment. At December 31, 2016, our outstanding revolving loan balance was $0. 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.
On November 15, 2016, the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) entered into the Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Third Amendment to Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amended the Credit Agreement previously entered into by the Company, certain of its domestic subsidiaries and JPMorgan on April 26, 2012 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) and the Pledge and Security Agreement previously entered into by the Company, certain of its domestic subsidiaries and JPMorgan on April 26, 2012. Pursuant to the Amendment, letters of credit can be issued if after giving effect to such issuance, the letters of credit exposure shall not exceed $20,000, which was an increase from the previously agreed upon $15,000. As of December 31, 2016, our outstanding letters of credit balance was $11,658.
The following amendments to the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement were also made under the Tenth
Amendment:
•The aggregate additional principal amount of indebtedness that is permitted related to capital leases was increased from $2,000 to $3,500.
•The Company’s letters of credit exposure was increased from $15,000 to $20,000.
•Under the terms of the Security 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 the $3,600 for three consecutive business days, and will continue until, during the preceding 60 consecutive days, no event of default existed and excess availability has been greater than $3,600 at all times (with the trigger subject to adjustment based on the Company’s revolving commitment).
•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 is less than $2,400 for the period commencing on any day that excess availability is less than $2,400 for three consecutive business days, and continuing until excess availability has been greater than or equal to $2,400 at all times for 45 consecutive days (with the trigger subject to adjustment based on the Company’s revolving commitment).
•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 is less than $3,600 for the period commencing on any day that excess availability is less than $3,600 for three consecutive business days, and continuing until excess availability has been greater than or equal to $3,600 at all times for 45 consecutive days (with the trigger subject to adjustment based on the Company’s revolving commitment).
Loans drawn under the credit facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.25%, or (b) a “base rate” subject to an increase or reduction by up to 0.25% per annum based on the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio. At December 31, 2016, the Company’s LIBOR based interest rate was 2.06% (on $0 principal) and the Company’s prime based rate was 3.50% (on $0 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.
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. 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.
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 December 31, 2016, the Company had capital leases payable of $10,312. The present value of the net minimum payments on capital leases as of December 31, 2016 is as follows:
