2012 Credit Agreement Debt and Related Amendments
On December 28, 2012, Emmis Operating Company (“EOC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Emmis, entered into a credit facility (the “2012 Credit Agreement”) to provide for total borrowings of up to $100 million, including (i) an $80 million term loan and (ii) a $20 million revolver, of which $5 million may be used for letters of credit. On June 10, 2014, Emmis entered into a new Credit Agreement (the "2014 Credit Agreement"). In connection with the execution of the 2014 Credit Agreement, the 2012 Credit Agreement was terminated effective June 10, 2014, and all amounts outstanding under that agreement were paid in full. See Note 11 for more discussion of the 2014 Credit Agreement.

On August 9, 2013, Emmis entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, Security Agreement and Subsidiary Guarantee (“First Amendment”) which allowed for the formation of NextRadio LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emmis, as an excluded subsidiary under the Credit Agreement and facilitated the transactions contemplated by the agreement with Sprint/United Management Company dated August 9, 2013. No financial covenants were impacted by the First Amendment and total costs were less than $0.1 million.

On May 6, 2014, Emmis entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Limited Consent (“Second Amendment”) which permitted Emmis to acquire majority control of Digonex Technologies, Inc. ("Digonex") for total consideration not to exceed $6.0 million. In addition, the Second Amendment permits the exclusion of certain transaction-related costs associated with the acquisition of WBLS-FM and WLIB-AM in an aggregate amount not in excess of $1.25 million. No financial covenants were impacted by the Second Amendment and total costs were less than $0.1 million. See Note 11 for more discussion of the acquisition of Digonex and the acquisition of WBLS-FM and WLIB-AM.

The notes bear interest at 4.1%.
