Interest rates on the Company's line of credit remain variable and are based on the lender's national prime rate less 0.50% with a 3.50% interest rate minimum or floor. Interest rates on the Company's term loan remain variable and based on the lender's national prime rate less 0.75% with a 3.00% interest rate minimum or floor. Monarch's unsecured credit commitment consists of a $17.8 million term loan maturing December 31, 2014 and a $15.0 million line of credit maturing February 3, 2012. The Company owed $9.0 million on the term loan and $4.8 million on the revolving line of credit as of December 31, 2011.
