In April 2012, the Company, certain of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as sole lender and administrative agent entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provided for a revolving commitment in an aggregate principal amount of up to $40,000 (the “Credit Facility”), which is subject to a borrowing base derived from certain receivables, inventory and property and equipment. In August 2013, the Company, certain of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and JPMorgan entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Third Amended Credit Agreement”) amending the Credit Agreement to, among other things, reduce the revolving commitment to $20,000 (which was subsequently increased to $25,000, see "Note 13 - Subsequent Events") and, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, provide that the Company has the right to increase the revolving commitment up to $40,000. On August 4, 2014, the Company, certain of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and JPMorgan entered into a fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Fourth Amended Credit Agreement”) amending the Credit Agreement to, among other things, amend certain definitions to allow for additional add-backs to adjusted EBITDA for fiscal quarters ended June 28, 2014 and September 27, 2014.
The Credit Facility matures on April 26, 2017. At September 27, 2014, our outstanding revolving loan balance was $10,869. 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. However, considering the recurring losses experienced by the Company, a current classification of our revolving loan payable was required.
Loans drawn under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a per annum rate equal to either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.50%, or (b) an “alternate base rate” minus an applicable margin of 0.50%. Each applicable margin as set forth in the prior sentence is subject to increase or decrease by 0.25% per annum based upon the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. At September 27, 2014, the Company’s LIBOR based interest rate was 1.69% (on $10,350 principal) and the Company’s prime based rate was 2.75% (on $519 principal). A commitment fee, based upon undrawn availability under the Credit Facility bearing interest at a rate of 0.20% 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 $6,000, as defined. The dominion period will continue until, during the preceding 60 consecutive days, no event of default existed and, excess availability has to be greater than $7,000 at all times. The Company’s excess availability was $7,149 at September 27, 2014. As of the date hereof, the cash dominion period has not been in effect; accordingly no principal payments are currently due.
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 without payment of a premium. 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. Concurrent with the Company’s issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”), the Company, certain of its domestic subsidiaries and JPMorgan entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Second Amended Credit Agreement”) amending the Credit Agreement to, among other things, allow the Company to pay cash dividends on the Series A Preferred in an aggregate amount of up to $400 per year and pay cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares upon conversion of or in payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred, each subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Second Amended Credit Agreement but without having to satisfy certain other conditions that would have otherwise applied to the payment of such dividends.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is not required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, unless excess availability is less than $6,000, as defined, whereby a ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 will be required (See also "Note 13 - Subsequent Events," which describes instances where other minimum fixed charges may apply). 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 September 27, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
As of September 27, 2014, the Company had total capital leases payable of $9,601. The present value of the net minimum payments on capital leases as of September 27, 2014 was as follows (in thousands):
