Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 31, 2005, the Company entered a new Credit Agreement with
its existing lenders, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as the
Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as the Syndication Agent, and
SunTrust Bank, as the Documentation Agent. The new Credit Agreement increases
the Company's revolving credit capacity to $50 million (an increase from its $35
million line of credit prior to the new Agreement), provides for an accordion
feature to allow expansion of the facility to $90 million under certain
conditions, and provides a sublimit for a "swingline" line of credit of $8
million to cover short term credit needs. The new agreement continues to provide
a $5 million sublimit for standby letters of credit. The maturity date was
extended to November 1, 2010.
Loans under this new Credit Agreement may, at the Company's option,
bear interest at either the alternate base rate, which is the greater of the
administrative agent's prime rate or the federal funds rate, or the adjusted
LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period, plus an applicable interest
margin in each case. The new Agreement provides for reduced interest margins of
between 0.00% and 0.50% for alternate base rate loans and between 0.75% and
1.75% for LIBOR rate loans. The interest margin will vary depending on our total
leverage ratio for each interest rate option. The new Credit Facility presents
improvements in the covenant requirements from the previous Agreement. The new
Agreement removes the borrowing base calculation requirements.
