The Company has had a debt agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) since May 1, 2009. The agreement, as amended, restated and modified, includes a $10,000 term loan which matures on February 2, 2017 and a $10,000 revolving credit facility which matures on April 30, 2014. The agreement, as amended, restated and modified, contains covenants that include, among others, covenants that limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to dispose of assets, enter into mergers or acquisitions, incur indebtedness, incur liens, pay dividends or make distributions on the Company’s capital stock, make investments or loans, and enter into certain affiliate transactions, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. Additional covenants apply when the Company has outstanding borrowings under the revolving loan facility or when the Company achieves specific covenant milestones. Financial covenants under the credit facility, as amended, include a minimum EBITDA, a limitation on capital expenditures, and a minimum liquidity ratio. Further, a minimum fixed charge ratio applies when the Company achieves specific covenant milestones. None of the specific covenant milestones have been met as of December 31, 2013. The occurrence of an event of default could result in an increase to the applicable interest rate by 3.0%, an acceleration of all obligations under the Agreement, an obligation of the Company to repay all obligations in full and a right by SVB to exercise all remedies available to it under the Agreement and related agreements including the Guaranty and Security Agreement.

Effective January 30, 2013 the Company and SVB entered into a Joinder and Loan Modification Agreement and an Export-Import Bank Joinder and Loan Modification Agreement which set forth certain amendments to the Company’s credit facility with the Bank. These Modification Agreements added the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AtriCure, LLC, as a borrower, and such Loan Modification Agreement modified the Company’s timing for submitting a forecast to the Bank and decreased the EBITDA amount the Company must achieve to meet the minimum EBITDA covenant.

Effective March 29, 2013 the Company and SVB entered into a Loan Modification Agreement and an Export-Import Bank Loan Modification Agreement which set forth certain amendments to the Company’s credit facility with the Bank. These Modification Agreements provide for (i) a change in the applicable borrowing rate on the revolving credit facility from 0.25% to 1.25% above the prime rate based on the Company’s Liquidity Ratio to the prime rate during a Streamline Period and prime plus 1.25% during a Non-Streamline Period, (ii) a reduction in the collateral handling fee on the revolving credit facility, (iii) a reduction in the fixed interest rate on the term loan from 6.75% to 4.75% and (iv) modifications to the Liquidity Ratio and EBITDA financial covenants. The interest rate was 4.75% as of December 31, 2013 and 6.75% as of December 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2013 the Company had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility and borrowing availability of $8,299. Also as of December 31, 2013, the Company had $6,333 outstanding under its term loan, which includes $2,000 classified as current maturities of long-term debt. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had no borrowings under its revolving credit facility and borrowing availability of $5,303. Also as of December 31, 2012, the Company had $8,333 outstanding under its term loan, which included $2,000 classified as current maturities of long-term debt.

The Warrant that was issued with the initial SVB agreement had been recorded as a discount on long-term debt at its fair value and was being amortized over the term of the loan. Accelerated amortization expense of $79 was recorded in March 2011 due to the credit facility modification. No amortization expense related to the debt discount was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. In addition to the accelerated amortization of the Warrant, the Company also recorded $74 of expense related to deferred financing costs and other fees as a result of the credit facility modification in March 2011.

As of December 31, 2013 the effective interest rate on borrowings under the modified term loan, including debt issuance costs, was 6.5%, and the book value of the Company’s fixed interest rate debt approximated fair value. The Company has an outstanding letter of credit of €75 issued to its European subsidiary’s corporate credit card program provider which will expire on June 30, 2015. No letters of credit were outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011. In June 2011 the Company cancelled an outstanding letter of credit for $250 issued to its corporate credit card program provider which was to expire on July 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2013 the Company had capital leases for computer equipment that expire at various terms through 2017. The cost of the assets under lease was $153. The assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which equal the terms of the leases. Accumulated amortization on the capital leases was $41 at December 31, 2013.
