The Company amended the Credit Agreement on July 23, 2009 (the Third Amendment). The Credit Agreement was set to expire on July 31, 2009, and rather than let it expire, the Company elected to amend the agreement and reduce the amount of the Credit Facility from $20 million to $1.5 million. The Credit Facility also includes a $1.285 million limit on letters of credit, which was reduced from the original $2 million limit. The Company elected to reduce its Credit Facility because it believed the higher amount associated with the original line was not needed and an unnecessary cost. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Companys Credit Facility was extended through April 30, 2010. Under the Third Amendment, substantially all representations, warranties, covenants, rights, duties and obligations set forth in the original agreement continued to apply. The interest rate for advances under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2010, was at LIBOR plus 2.0% and subject to change based upon the fixed charge coverage ratio.
