Credit Agreement

On the Effective Date, Cumulus Media New Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”) and an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries, entered into the Credit Agreement with the holders of claims with respect to the Predecessor Term Loan under the Canceled Credit Agreement, as term loan lenders. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders party thereto were deemed to have provided Holdings and its subsidiaries that are party thereto as co-borrowers with a $1.3 billion senior secured Term Loan.

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 4.50%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, or (ii) the Alternative Base Rate (as defined below) plus an applicable margin of 3.50%, subject to an Alternative Base Rate floor of 2.00%. The Alternative Base Rate is defined, for any day, as the per annum rate equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the rate identified as the “Prime Rate” and normally published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. At June 30, 2019, the Term Loan bore interest at a rate of 6.91% per annum.

Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan amortize in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan with the balance payable on the maturity date. The maturity date of the Term Loan is May 15, 2022.

The Credit Agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature. Events of default in the Credit Agreement include, among others: (a) the failure to pay when due the obligations owing thereunder; (b) the failure to comply with (and not timely remedy, if applicable) certain covenants; (c) certain defaults and accelerations under other indebtedness; (d) the occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency events; (e) certain judgments against Holdings or any of its subsidiaries; (f) the loss, revocation or suspension of, or any material impairment in the ability to use, any one or more of, any material FCC licenses; (g) any representation or warranty made, or report, certificate or financial statement delivered, to the lenders subsequently proven to have been incorrect in any material respect; and (h) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of, or upon the request of, the required lenders, accelerate the Term Loan and exercise any of its rights as a secured party under the Credit Agreement and the ancillary loan documents provided, that in the case of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events with respect to a borrower, the Term Loan will automatically accelerate.

The Credit Agreement does not contain any financial maintenance covenants. The Credit Agreement provides that Holdings will be permitted to enter into either a revolving credit facility or receivables facility providing commitments of up to $50.0 million, subject to certain conditions (see below).

On May 16, 2019, the Credit Agreement was amended to permit the issuance of indebtedness to the extent the proceeds of such indebtedness are used to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loan, subject to certain conditions as described more fully therein.

The borrowers may elect, at their option, to prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement without premium or penalty. The borrowers may be required to make mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan upon the occurrence of specified events as set forth in the Credit Agreement, including upon the sale of certain assets and from Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement). On October 11, 2018, the Company purchased $50.2 million of face value of the Term Loan for $50.0 million, a discount to par value of 0.40%. On June 5, 2019, with the proceeds from the EMF Sale and cash on hand, the Company made a $115.0 million voluntary prepayment at par on the Term Loan. On June 26, 2019, the Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 6.75% Senior Notes (see below) to make a $492.7 million voluntary prepayment at par on the Term Loan. On July 22, 2019, with the proceeds from the KLOS Sale (see Note 16 - Subsequent Events) and cash on hand, the Company made a $50.0 million voluntary prepayment at par on the Term Loan.

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Cumulus Media Intermediate Inc. (“Intermediate Holdings”), which is a subsidiary of the Company, and the present and future wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdings that are not borrowers thereunder, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Credit Agreement (the “Guarantors”) and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the subsidiaries of Holdings party to the Credit Agreement as borrowers, and the Guarantors. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On August 17, 2018, Holdings entered into a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), dated as of August 17, 2018, with certain subsidiaries of Holdings as borrowers, Intermediate Holdings as a guarantor, certain lenders, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch as a lender and Administrative Agent.

The Revolving Credit Facility matures on August 17, 2023. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is generally determined by a borrowing base formula that is based on 85% of the accounts receivable of the borrowers and the guarantors, subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, up to $10.0 million of availability may be drawn in the form of letters of credit.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the option of Holdings, based on (i) LIBOR plus a percentage spread (ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%) based on the average daily excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility or (ii) the Alternative Base Rate (as defined below) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%) based on the average daily excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Alternative Base Rate is defined, for any day, as the per annum rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the rate identified as the “Prime Rate” and normally published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. In addition, the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% based on the utilization of the facility.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature. Events of default in the Revolving Credit Agreement include, among others: (a) the failure to pay when due the obligations owing thereunder; (b) the failure to comply with (and not timely remedy, if applicable) certain covenants; (c) certain defaults and accelerations under other indebtedness; (d) the occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency events; (e) certain judgments against Holdings or any of its subsidiaries; (f) the loss, revocation or suspension of, or any material impairment in the ability to use, any one or more of, any material Federal Communications Commission licenses; (g) any representation or warranty made, or report, certificate or financial statement delivered, to the lenders subsequently proven to have been incorrect in any material respect; and (h) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans then outstanding and exercise any of their rights under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the ancillary loan documents as a secured party.

The Revolving Credit Agreement does not contain any financial maintenance covenants with which the Company must comply. However, if average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is less than the greater of (a) 12.50% of the total commitments thereunder or (b) $5.0 million, the Company must comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0.

Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Intermediate Holdings and the present and future wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdings that are not borrowers thereunder, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver Guarantors”) and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the subsidiaries of Holdings party to the Credit Agreement as borrowers, and the Revolver Guarantors.

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, $4.1 million and $2.8 million were outstanding in the form of letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

6.75% Senior Notes

On June 26, 2019, Holdings (the “Issuer”) entered into an indenture, dated as of June 26, 2019 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto (the “Senior Notes Guarantors”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, governing the terms of the Issuer’s $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Secured First-Lien Notes due 2026 (the “6.75% Senior Notes”). The 6.75% Senior Notes were issued on June 26, 2019. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 6.75% Senior Notes were applied to partially repay existing indebtedness under the Term Loan (see above).

Interest on the 6.75% Senior Notes is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2020. The 6.75% Senior Notes mature on July 1, 2026.

The Issuer may redeem some or all of the 6.75% Senior Notes at any time, or from time to time, on or after July 1, 2022, at the following prices:

Prior to July 1, 2022, the Issuer may redeem all or part of the 6.75% Senior Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at 100% of the principal amount of the 6.75% Notes redeemed plus a "make whole" premium.

The 6.75% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Senior Notes Guarantors, subject to the terms of the Indenture. Other than certain assets secured on a first priority basis under the Revolving Credit Facility (as to which the 6.75% Senior Notes are secured on a second-priority basis), the 6.75% Senior Notes and related guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis pari passu with the Term Loan (subject to certain exceptions) by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and the Guarantors. The Guarantors consist of Intermediate Holdings and each of the Issuer’s direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries that guarantees the Credit Agreement which governs the Term Loan.

The Indenture contains representations, covenants and events of default customary for financing transactions of this nature. At June 30, 2019, the Issuer was in compliance with all required covenants under the Indenture. A default under the 6.75% Senior Notes could cause a default under the Credit Agreement.

The 6.75% Senior Notes have not been and will not be registered under the federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction. The Company is not required to register the 6.75% Senior Notes for resale under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and are not required to exchange the 6.75% Senior Notes for notes registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and we have no present intention to do so. As a result, Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC is not applicable and no separate financial statements are required for the guarantor subsidiaries.
