The amount of the TD facility shown has been reduced by $503,000 for an outstanding letter of credit at March 31, 2016.
Corporate and Real Estate Debt
TD Bank, N.A. (“TD Bank”).  In March 2011, the Company entered into a line of credit loan agreement with TD Bank that, through April 24, 2014, allowed for borrowings up to $7.5 million with interest at either (a) the prime rate plus 2.25% or (b) a specified London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 3%. The interest rate used varies from one to six month LIBOR depending upon the period of the borrowing. In April 2014, the Company amended the TD Bank facility to (i) extend the maturity date to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the Company's management agreement with RSO or (b) December 31, 2017, (ii) increase the maximum borrowing amount to $11.5 million provided that the Company maintains an aggregate value of pledged securities of $6.0 million and (iii) require that the Company have no cash advances outstanding for thirty consecutive days during each one-year period beginning on April 25, 2014. In January 2016, due to a market decline in the value of the pledged securities, availability under the line of credit was reduced to $7.5 million.
The Company is charged an annual fee of 0.5% on the unused facility amount as well as a 5.25% fee on a $503,000 outstanding letter of credit. Borrowings are secured by a first priority security interest in certain of the Company's assets and the guarantees of certain subsidiaries, including (i) the present and future fees and investment income earned in connection with the management of, and investments in, sponsored CDOs and CLOs, (ii) a pledge of 18,972 shares of TBBK common stock, and (iii) a pledge of 540,168 shares of RSO common stock held by the Company.      
There were no borrowings outstanding on the TD facility as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Republic First Bank (“Republic Bank”). In February 2011, the Company entered into a $3.5 million revolving credit facility with Republic Bank.  The facility bears interest at the prime rate of interest plus 1% with a floor of 4.5%.  The loan is secured by a pledge of 175,000 shares of RSO common stock held by the Company and a first priority security interest in an office building located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (see Note 5).  Availability under this facility is limited to the lesser of (a) the sum of (i) 25% of the appraised value of the real estate, based upon the most recent appraisal delivered to the bank and (ii) 100% of the cash and 75% of the market value of the pledged RSO shares held in the pledged account; and (b) 100% of the cash and 100% of the market value of the pledged RSO shares held in the pledged account.  The loan has an unused annual facility fee equal to 0.25%. In November 2013, the Company further amended this facility to extend the maturity date to December 28, 2016 and increase the unused annual facility fee to 0.5%. There were no borrowings under this facility as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the availability was $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
Senior Notes
The Company's $10.0 million of 9% senior notes (the "Senior Notes") mature on March 31, 2018. The effective interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 was 9.1% and 9.1%, respectively. The Company may early redeem all or part of the Senior Notes upon notification to the note holders at the redemption price plus any accrued and unpaid interest through to the date of such redemption. The redemption price prior to March 31, 2017 is at a 101% premium to par.
Other Debt - Real Estate and Corporate
Real estate - mortgage. The Company has a mortgage on its hotel property in Savannah, Georgia. The 6.36% fixed rate mortgage matures in September 2021 and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $71,331. The principal balance outstanding as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $9.8 million and $9.9 million, respectively.

Covenants
The TD Bank credit facility is subject to certain financial covenants, which are customary for the type and size of the facility, including debt service coverage and debt to equity ratios. The debt to equity ratio restricts the amount of recourse debt the Company can incur based on a ratio of recourse debt to net worth.
The covenant for the mortgage on the Company's hotel property requires maintaining a minimum debt coverage ratio. In addition, although non-recourse in nature, the loan is subject to limited standard exceptions (or "carveouts") which the Company has guaranteed. These carveouts will expire as the loan is paid down over the next five years. The Company has control over the operations of the underlying property, which mitigates the potential risk associated with these carveouts and, accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. To date, the Company has not been required to make any carveout payments.
The Company was in compliance with all of its financial debt covenants as of March 31, 2016.
