Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be repaid at any time, but no later than June 29, 2013. Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue, at the Company's election, at (i) the Eurocurrency rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus additional percentage points based on the Company's leverage ratio or (ii) the Base Rate (a rate based on the prime rate announced from time-to-time by Bank of America, N.A., or the Federal Reserve System's federal funds rate; Base Rate is defined in detail in the Credit Agreement), plus additional percentage points based on the Company's leverage ratio.
Repayments under the Credit Agreement can be accelerated by the lenders upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including, without limitation, a failure to pay any principal, interest or other amounts in respect of loans when due, breach by the Company (or its subsidiaries) of any of the covenants or representations contained in the Credit Agreement or related loan documents, failure of the Company (or its material subsidiaries) to pay any amounts owed with respect to other significant indebtedness of the Company or such subsidiary, or a bankruptcy event with respect to the Company or any of its material subsidiaries.
The indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's tangible and intangible assets, including, without limitation, the Company's intellectual property. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Knoll Overseas, Inc. and Spinneybeck Enterprises, Inc., have also guaranteed the Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement and pledged substantially all of their tangible and intangible assets as security for their obligations under such guarantee. As additional security for the indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement, the Company, Knoll Overseas, Inc. and Spinneybeck Enterprises, Inc. have pledged the equity of their U.S. subsidiaries and a portion of the equity of certain of their first-tier international subsidiaries. Edelman Leather, LLC will join as a guarantor under the Credit Agreement and its tangible and intangible assets will be pledged to the lenders as collateral thereunder.
The Credit Agreement was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 29, 2007 (the "June 8-K").
