TCW Credit Agreement
On December 23, 2019, the Company, entered into a financing agreement (the “TCW Agreement”) with TCW (‘Lenders’) consisting of a $150,000 multi-draw term loan in aggregate, of which the first draw was for a principal amount of $95,000, with a maturity date of December 23, 2024. Additionally, on the same day, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (‘LOC’) with an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $15,000. Undrawn balances available under the revolving credit facility are subject to commitment fees of 1%. These facilities are guaranteed and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
On January 11, 2023, the Company executed a Ninth Amendment to the financing agreement with TCW, wherein Wingspire Capital LLC ("Wingspire") became a party to the TCW Agreement. Wingspire funded an additional $15,000 of term loan commitment on top of the already outstanding Term Loan. Additionally, the Ninth Amendment split the term loan with TCW into two loans. Term Loan A will be represented by Wingspire with an outstanding principal balance of $30,000 and Term Loan B will be represented by TCW with an outstanding principal balance of $137,753. Additionally, pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, Wingspire consented to take over the TCW line of credit for a principal amount not to exceed $15,000.
Until January 11, 2024, the Company has the option to increase Term Loan A by $20,000 under two conditions: (i) the Company must have a trailing 12-month EBITDA of at least $25,000; and (ii) the Company must draw in increments of at least $5,000.
On January 31, 2023, we executed a tenth amendment to the TCW Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”). The Tenth Amendment (1) set forth the terms on which we could acquire Orinter, pursuant to that certain Share Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2023, among us, Mondee Brazil, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mondee Brazil”), OTT Holdings Ltda. (“OTT Holdings”), Orinter, and the other parties named therein (the “Orinter Purchase Agreement”); (2) set forth the terms on which we could pay the earn-out payment contemplated to be paid to OTT Holdings and certain key executives of OTT Holdings pursuant to the Orinter Purchase Agreement; (3) required that Mondee Brazil join as a party to the TCW Agreement and the Security Agreement (as defined in the TCW Agreement); (4) required that Mondee, Inc. pledge 100% of the equity interests of Mondee Brazil; and (5) required that Mondee Brazil and Mondee Inc. pledge 100% of the equity interests of Orinter.
The effective interest on Term Loan B for the periods ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022 is 24% and 16%, respectively. The effective interest on the Term Loan A for the period ended March 31, 2023 is 16%.
As of March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, the total estimated fair value of the Company’s TCW Credit Agreement was $124,704 and $183,852, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the total estimated fair value of the Company's Wingspire loan was $27,381. The fair value of debt was estimated based on Level 3 inputs.
Canadian Loans (“Other Government Loans”)

Canada Emergency Business Account

In April and June 2020, the Company was granted an interest free loan from Royal Bank of Canada in the aggregate amount of $50 CAD (equivalent $39 USD), pursuant to the Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”) loan forgiveness, funded by the Government in Canada. Additionally in 2021, the Company was granted another CEBA loan with the Canadian government of $20 CAD (equivalent $16 USD). As the legal form of the CEBA loan is debt, the Company accounted for the loan as debt under ASC 470. The loan is provided to qualifying businesses to cover short term operating expenses, payroll, and non-deferrable expenses. The Company will be eligible for 25% loan forgiveness if the loan amount equal to 75% of the highest amount drawn from the CEBA until March 31, 2021 is repaid by December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding loan balance of $70 CAD (equivalent $52 USD).

The Company concluded that it was appropriate to account for the CEBA as debt until receipt of formal approval for loan forgiveness from the government of Canada, at which time the Company will extinguish the CEBA loan as debt and recognize a gain on loan extinguishment on the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021, the Company had not submitted payment for any portion of the outstanding loan, and as such the loan continues to be accounted for as debt.

Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program

On August 12, 2021, the Company was granted a Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program (“HASCAP”) loan with the Canadian government of $250 CAD (equivalent to $198 USD). The proceeds should be used to exclusively fund the operational cash flow needs of the Company. Loan payments are deferred for 13 months after drawdown with a maturity date of 10 years and 4% fixed interest rate. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding loan balance of $236 CAD (equivalent $175 USD).
