The Amended Credit Agreement totals $665 million, including a $15 million first-in, last-out facility (the "FILO Facility"), and matures in July 2017. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement (excluding the FILO Facility) are limited to a borrowing base equal to 90 percent of the appraised liquidation value of eligible inventory (less certain reserves that may be established under the agreement), plus 90 percent of eligible credit card receivables. Borrowings under the FILO Facility are limited to a borrowing base equal to the lesser of: (i) 2.5 percent of the appraised liquidation value of eligible inventory or (ii) $15 million. The Amended Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority security interest and lien on merchandise inventory, credit card receivables and certain other assets and a second priority security interest and lien on all other assets.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> Based on the most recent inventory appraisal, the monthly borrowing rates calculated from the cost of eligible inventory range from 69 to 72 percent for the period of August through September 2013, 81 to 83 percent for the period of October through December 2013 and 68 to 73 percent for the period of January through July 2014.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement (excluding the FILO Facility) bear interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin (ranging from 175 to 225 basis points) or (ii) the base rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin (ranging from 75 to 125 basis points). Borrowings under the FILO Facility bear interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin (ranging from 350 to 400 basis points) or (ii) the base rate plus the applicable margin (ranging from 250 to 300 basis points). We are also required to pay a quarterly unused commitment fee of 37.5 basis points based on the preceding quarter's unused commitment.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> In September 2013, we executed interest rate swaps with Bank of America, N.A. to hedge the variability of cash flows resulting from fluctuations in the one-month LIBOR associated with our Amended Credit Agreement. The interest rate swaps will replace the one-month LIBOR with the fixed interest rates shown in the table below and will be settled monthly. The swaps qualify as cash flow hedges and, to the extent effective, changes in their fair values will be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> Interest rate swaps executed in September 2013 are as follows:</font></p> <div style="POSITION: relative; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0pt; WIDTH: 70%; PADDING-RIGHT: 0pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 15%; PADDING-TOP: 0pt;"> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"><!-- COMMAND=ADD_TABLEWIDTH,"100%" --></font></p> <!-- User-specified TAGGED TABLE --> <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="text-align:left;"> <tr style="padding:0;"><!-- TABLE COLUMN WIDTHS SET --> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" align="left"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" width="12"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" width="7" align="right"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" width="81"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" width="12"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" width="7" align="right"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" width="39"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" width="12"></td><!-- TABLE COLUMN WIDTHS END --></tr> <tr style="padding:0;" valign="bottom"> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" nowrap="nowrap" align="left"> <div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1pt solid; WIDTH: 23pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt;"><font size="1"><b>Period <!-- COMMAND=ADD_SCROPPEDRULE,23pt --></b></font></div></th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="1"> </font></th> <th style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1pt solid; FONT-FAMILY: times;" colspan="2" align="center"><font size="1"><b>Notional Amount<br /> (in thousands)</b></font></th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="1"> </font></th> <th style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1pt solid; FONT-FAMILY: times;" colspan="2" align="center"><font size="1"><b>Fixed<br /> Interest<br /> Rate</b></font></th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="1"> </font></th></tr> <tr style="padding:0;" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom"> <p style="TEXT-INDENT: -10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times; MARGIN-LEFT: 10pt;"><font size="2">October 2013 - July 2014</font></p></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom"><font size="2"> </font></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom" align="right"><font size="2">$</font></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom" align="right"><font size="2">215,000</font></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom"><font size="2"> </font></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom"><font size="2"> </font></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom" align="right"><font size="2">0.29</font></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom"><font size="2">%</font></td></tr> <tr style="padding:0;" valign="top" bgcolor="white"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom"> <p style="TEXT-INDENT: -10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times; MARGIN-LEFT: 10pt;"><font size="2">August 2014 - July 2016</font></p></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom"><font size="2"> </font></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom" align="right"><font size="2">$</font></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom" align="right"><font size="2">215,000</font></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom"><font size="2"> </font></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom"><font size="2"> </font></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom" align="right"><font size="2">1.19</font></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times;" valign="bottom"><font size="2">%</font></td></tr></table></div> <!-- end of user-specified TAGGED TABLE --></div> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> If excess availability (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) falls below certain levels we will be required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0. Borrowing availability was approximately $242 million as of July 31, 2013, which exceeded the excess availability requirement by $185 million. The fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.72 as of July 31, 2013. The Amended Credit Agreement contains various other covenants including restrictions on the incurrence of certain indebtedness, payment of dividends, liens, investments, acquisitions and asset sales. As of July 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> We incurred debt issuance costs associated with the revolving credit agreement totaling $12.1 million, which consisted of $5.6 million of costs related to the Amended Credit Agreement and $6.5 million of unamortized costs associated with the prior agreement. The debt issuance costs are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the five-year life of the agreement.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> Interest paid under the revolving credit agreement during fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $10.6 million, $14.3 million and $10.4 million, respectively.</font></p> <ul> <li style="list-style: none;"> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"><b><i>Amended and Restated Senior Secured Term Loan</i></b></font></p></li></ul> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> On July 24, 2012, we amended and restated our senior secured term loan (the "Amended Term Loan") with Z Investment Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Golden Gate Capital. The Amended Term Loan totals $80.0 million, matures in July 2017 and is subject to a borrowing base equal to: (i) 107.5 percent of the appraised liquidation value of eligible inventory plus (ii) 100 percent of credit card receivables and an amount equal to the lesser of $40 million or 100 percent of the appraised liquidation value of intellectual property minus (iii) the borrowing base under the Amended Credit Agreement. In the event the outstanding principal under the Amended Term Loan exceeds the Amended Term Loan borrowing base, availability under the Amended Credit Agreement would be reduced by the excess. As of July 31, 2013, the outstanding principal under the Amended Term Loan did not exceed the borrowing base. The Amended Term Loan is secured by a second priority security interest on merchandise inventory and credit card receivables and a first priority security interest on substantially all other assets.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> Borrowings under the Amended Term Loan bear interest at 11 percent payable on a quarterly basis. We may repay all or any portion of the Amended Term Loan with the following penalty prior to maturity: (i) the present value of the required interest payments that would have been made if the prepayment had not occurred during the first year; (ii) 4 percent during the second year; (iii) 3 percent during the third year; (iv) 2 percent during the fourth year and (v) no penalty in the fifth year. The Amended Credit Agreement restricts our ability to prepay the Amended Term Loan if the fixed charge coverage ratio is not equal to or greater than 1.0 after giving effect to the prepayment.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> The Amended Term Loan includes various covenants which are consistent with the covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement, including restrictions on the incurrence of certain indebtedness, payment of dividends, liens, investments, acquisitions, asset sales and the requirement to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 if excess availability thresholds under the Amended Credit Agreement are not maintained. As of July 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> We incurred costs associated with the Amended Term Loan totaling $4.4 million, of which approximately $2 million was recorded in interest expense during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. The remaining $2.4 million consists of debt issuance costs included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the five-year life of the agreement. We also incurred a $3.0 million prepayment premium related to the $60.5 million prepayment on the prior term loan. The $3.0 million prepayment premium was recorded in interest expense during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> In fiscal year 2011, we recorded a charge to interest expense totaling $45.8 million as a result of an amendment to the prior term loan on September 24, 2010. In accordance with ASC 470-50,</font> <font size="2"><i>Debt–Modifications and Extinguishments</i></font><font size="2">, the amendment was considered a significant modification which required us to account for the prior term loan and related unamortized costs as an extinguishment and record the loan at fair value. The charge consisted of $20.3 million related to the unamortized discount associated with the warrants (see below) issued in connection with the prior term loan, a $12.5 million amendment fee, $10.3 million related to unamortized debt issue costs and $2.7 million related to a prepayment premium and other costs.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> Interest paid under the term loan during fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $8.9 million, $20.8 million and $21.7 million, respectively.</font></p> <ul> <li style="list-style: none;"> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"><b><i>Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement</i></b></font></p></li></ul> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> In connection with the execution of the senior secured term loan in May 2010, we entered into a Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") with Z Investment Holdings, LLC. Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, we issued 6.4 million A-Warrants and 4.7 million B-Warrants (collectively, the "Warrants") to purchase shares of our common stock, on a one-for-one basis, for an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The Warrants, which are currently exercisable and expire in May 2017, represented 25 percent of our common stock on a fully diluted basis (including the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and excluding certain out-of-the-money stock options) as of the date of the issuance. The A-Warrants were exercisable immediately; however, the B-Warrants were not exercisable until the shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of the B-Warrants were approved by our stockholders, which occurred on July 23, 2010. The number of shares and exercise price are subject to customary antidilution protection. The Warrant Agreement also entitles the holder to designate two, and in certain circumstances three, directors to our board. The holders of the Warrants may, at their option, request that we register for resale all or part of the common stock issuable under the Warrant Agreement.</font></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> The fair value of the Warrants totaled $21.3 million as of the date of issuance and was recorded as a long-term liability, with a corresponding discount to the carrying value of the prior term loan. On July 23, 2010, the stockholders approved the shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of the B-Warrants. The long-term liability associated with the Warrants was marked-to-market as of the date of the stockholder approval resulting in an $8.3 million gain during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. The remaining amount of $13.0 million was reclassified to stockholders' investment and is included in additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The remaining unamortized discount totaling $20.3 million associated with the Warrants was charged to interest expense as a result of an amendment to the prior term loan on September 24, 2010.</font></p> <ul> <li style="list-style: none;"> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"><b><i>Capital Lease Obligations</i></b></font></p></li></ul> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: times;"><font size="2"> We enter into capital leases related to vehicles for our field management.

Capital leases, net of accumulated depreciation, included in property and equipment as of July 31, 2013 and 2012 totaled $2.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively.</font></p> </div> </NonNumbericText> |
