On March 9, 2016, we and certain of our wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiaries entered into a new term loan agreement with Crystal Financial LLC as Term Agent, and the term lenders party thereto (the “Crystal Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the term lenders made a term loan to us in the amount of $17.0 million. The net proceeds from the term loan (after payment of the fees and expenses of the Term Agent), along with $2.9 million of cash on hand, were used to repay the $19.4 million outstanding debt under the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) Loan Agreement and pay related transaction fees. We recorded a charge of $0.3 million to loss on extinguishment of debt for unamortized deferred financing costs related to the SVB Loan Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

The maturity date of the term loan is March 9, 2020. We are required to make regular quarterly principal payments of $637,500 beginning September 1, 2017 with the balance due on the maturity date, if not otherwise repaid earlier by way of voluntary prepayments, or upon the occurrence of certain Prepayment Events or Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Crystal Loan Agreement), or as a result of acceleration of the loan as a result of an event of default. Prepayments of the loan are subject to a prepayment penalty of 3% of the amount prepaid if prepayment occurs prior to the first anniversary of the closing date and 2% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after the first anniversary of the closing date but prior to the second anniversary date of the closing date. There is no prepayment penalty for prepayments that occur on or after the second anniversary of the closing date. The interest rate payable on the outstanding loan amount is determined by reference to LIBOR plus a margin established in the agreement. At March 31, 2016, the applicable interest rate was 9.1%.

 

Our obligations under the Crystal Loan Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. In addition, we are required to meet certain financial and other restrictive covenants customary with this type of facility, including maintaining a minimum Adjusted EBITDA, minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage, maximum subscriber Churn, and minimum Liquidity, all of which are defined in the Crystal Loan Agreement. We are also prohibited from incurring indebtedness, disposing of or permitting liens on our assets and making restricted payments, including cash dividends on shares of our common stock, except as expressly permitted under the Crystal Loan Agreement. The agreement contains customary events of default. If a default occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure period or is not waived, any outstanding obligations under the agreement may be accelerated. As of March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants.
