Item
1.01. Entry into a Material
Definitive Agreement.
On
October 23, 2008, the registrant and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility (the "Amended and
Restated Revolving Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A., a national
banking association, individually, as agent, issuer and a lender thereunder, and
the other financial institutions party thereto. The Amended and
Restated Revolving Credit Facility amends and restates the registrant’s
Revolving Credit Agreement, dated August 3, 2005, as amended, among Bank of
America, N.A., the registrant and its subsidiaries party thereto, to provide for
an increase in the facility size and certain other changes.
The
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility provides for maximum borrowings
of up to $60,000,000 and includes a standby and commercial letter of credit
sub-limit of $10,000,000. The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit
Facility is scheduled to expire on October 1, 2011 unless earlier terminated by
the agent thereunder following an event of default. Borrowings under
the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the
registrant's option, at the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus 1.75% to
3.25%, or a base rate, plus a margin rate ranging from 0% to 1.0%, which is the
higher of (i) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% or (ii) Bank of America, N.A.'s
publicly announced prime rate. The margin rates are based on certain leverage
ratios, as provided in the facility documents. The registrant is subject to
compliance with certain financial covenants set forth in the Amended and
Restated Revolving Credit Facility, including a maximum ratio of total funded
indebtedness to EBITDA, minimum levels of interest coverage and net worth and
limitation on capital expenditures, as defined.
The
registrant’s and the other borrowers’ obligations under the Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Facility are secured by the grant of security interests over
substantially all of their respective assets. In addition, certain of
the registrant’s foreign subsidiaries have, subject to certain limitations,
provided guarantees of the borrowers’ obligations under the Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Facility.
Item
2.03. Creation of a Direct
Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of
a Registrant.
The
disclosure in Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.
