Credit Facility

In November 2014, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions led by CIT Finance, LLC, that provided for a committed $155.0 million revolving credit facility and an additional uncommitted $25.0 million accordion feature that allowed for future increases in the facility. On April 23, 2015, we amended the Credit Facility to provide for a springing lock-box arrangement. On October 20, 2015, in light of current market conditions and our reduced capital plans, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility to reduce aggregate commitments to $125.0 million and modified certain maintenance covenants. On April 14, 2016, we again amended the Credit Facility to reduce aggregate commitments to $85.0 million and further modify certain maintenance covenants. The obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by all of our assets and are unconditionally guaranteed by all of our current and future direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base formula that allows for borrowings of up to 85% of eligible trade accounts receivable not more than 90 days outstanding, plus up to 72.5% of the appraised forced liquidation value of our eligible, completed and owned drilling rigs. This advance rate declines 1.25% per quarter beginning in 2017. Rigs that remain idle for 90 consecutive days or longer are removed from the borrowing base until they are contracted. In addition, rigs are appraised on a semi-annual basis and are subject to upward or downward revisions as a result of market conditions as well as the age of the rig. The Credit Facility matures on November 5, 2018.

At our election, interest under the Credit Facility is determined by reference at our option to either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus 4.5% or (ii) a “base rate” equal to the higher of the prime rate published by JP Morgan Chase Bank or three-month LIBOR plus 1%, plus in each case, 3.5%, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.05%. We also pay, on a quarterly basis, a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the Credit Facility commitment. As of March 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate on our borrowings was 5.22%.

The amended Credit Facility contains various financial covenants including a leverage covenant, springing fixed charge coverage ratio and rig utilization ratio. Additionally, there are restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue disqualified capital stock; transfer or sell assets; pay dividends or distributions; redeem subordinated indebtedness; make certain types of investments or make other restricted payments; create or incur liens; consummate a merger; consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets; and engage in business other than a business that is the same or similar to the current business and reasonably related businesses. The Credit Facility does, however, permit us to incur up to $20.0 million of additional indebtedness for the purchase of additional rigs or rig equipment.

Under the Credit Agreement, as amended, for purposes of calculating EBITDA, non-cash stock-based compensation is added back to EBITDA as well as up to $2.0 million per year of previously capitalized construction costs that may be incurred in 2016 and 2017. At March 31, 2016, our calculated leverage ratio under this covenant was approximately 1.9x.
The Credit Facility provides that an event of default may occur if a material adverse change to the Company occurs, which is considered a subjective acceleration clause under applicable accounting rules. Under ASC 470-10-45, because of the existence of this clause, borrowings under the Credit Facility will be required to be classified as current in the event the springing lock-box event occurs, regardless of the actual maturity of the borrowings. The Fourth Amendment reduces the requirement for a mandatory lock-box trigger from $15 million of availability under the credit facility to $10 million of availability under the Credit Facility.
In addition, in connection with the execution of the Fourth Amendment, the Administrative Agent under our revolving credit facility has agreed to include certain capital spare equipment in the calculation of our borrowing base through December 31, 2016. The addition of such equipment increased our reported borrowing base at March 31, 2016 by approximately $6.3 million to $86.4 million. We had $62.7 million in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2016. Remaining availability under the Credit Facility was $23.7 million at March 31, 2016, based on the amended borrowing base formula, and we are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility.
Capital Lease Obligations
During the first quarter of 2016, our vehicle lease agreements were amended, which resulted in a change in the classification of certain leases from operating leases to capital leases. On the amendment date we recorded $0.8 million in capital lease obligations, representing the lesser of fair market value or the present value of future minimum lease payments on the conversion date. These leases generally have initial terms of 36 months and are paid monthly.
