6) Long-term Debt and Notes Payable

The Company extended and modified its existing credit facility by entering into Amendment No. 1 dated as of March 27, 2013 (the “Amendment”), to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Amendment provides for an increase in the Company’s revolving credit facility from $35 million to $75 million and for an extension of the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to March 27, 2018.

Interest remained at a rate of LIBOR plus between 1.50% and 2.50% based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio under the Credit Agreement. The credit facility allocates up to $20 million of the $75 million revolving credit line for the issuance of letters of credit, including certain existing letters of credit. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

On July 18, 2013, in connection with the funding of the Peco Acquisition (See Note 19), the Company amended its existing credit facility by entering into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ( the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement continued to provide for a $75 million five-year revolving credit facility and a new $190 million five-year term loan, both expiring on June 30, 2018. The amended facilities carry an interest rate ranging from 225 basis points to 350 basis points above LIBOR, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. Variable principal payments on the term loan will be quarterly through March 31, 2018 with a balloon payment at maturity and with mandatory prepayments being required in certain circumstances. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.25% and 0.50% on the unused portion of the total credit commitment for the preceding quarter, based on the Company’s leverage ratio under the Credit Agreement.

There was nothing outstanding on our revolving credit facility at September 28, 2013 and $ 7.0 million at December 31, 2012 which is reported as long-term. The Company had available on its credit facility $51.5 million at September 28, 2013. At September 28, 2013, outstanding letters of credit totaled $8.8 million.

Scheduled principal payments on the new $190 million term loan are as follows (in thousands):

 

2013

   $ 4,750   

2014

     9,500

2018

     128,250

The proceeds of the term loan were used to finance the Peco Acquisition, pay off the $7.0 million balance outstanding under the existing term loan, pay off the $7.0 million balance outstanding under the existing revolving credit facility, pay off $0.5 million of other term debt and for general corporate purposes.

Covenants were modified on March 27, 2013, to eliminate the maximum capital expenditure limit, the cap on permitted acquisitions was increased to $25 million per acquisition and $50 million in the aggregate and the permitted allowance for share repurchases was increased to $20 million. In addition, the maximum permitted Leverage Ratio has been increased to 3.75 to 1 for each fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2013 and to 3.50 to 1 for each fiscal quarter ending after March 31, 2015. The covenant for minimum fixed charge coverage as defined in the Credit Agreement is to be not less than 1.25 to 1 for each fiscal quarter end. There were no changes in these covenants resulting from the new term note.

In the event of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy of the Company or any subsidiary, all unpaid principal and other amounts owing under the Credit Agreement automatically become due and payable. Other events of default, such as failure to make payments as they become due and breach of financial and other covenants, give the Agent the option to declare all such amounts immediately due and payable.
