In June 2011 the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.2 million as a result of the refinancing of the Hercules Term Loan and Credit FacilityThe loss included $1.0 million of unamortized loan costs and $0.8 million of warrant discounts on notes payable that were associated with the borrowings under the Hercules Term Loan and Credit Facility.  Additionally, the Company was assessed prepayment fees of $0.4 million.

 

In June 2011 the Company entered into the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement. The Wells Fargo Credit Agreement consists of a $12.0 million Term Note A, a $4.0 million Term Note B, and a revolving credit note agreement whereby Wells Fargo would provide up to $8.0 million. The Term Note A, Term Note B, and revolving line of credit have interest rate of LIBOR plus 5.00%, 10.00% and 5.00%, respectively. The minimum LIBOR used in the interest rate is 1.50% for Term Note A and the revolving line of credit and 2.00% for Term Note B. The Company capitalized $0.6 million of loan costs related to Wells Fargo Credit Agreement.

 

The Wells Fargo Credit Agreement requires ongoing compliance with certain affirmative and negative covenants. The affirmative covenants include, but are not limited to: (i) maintenance of existence and conduct of business; (ii) compliance with laws; (iii) use of proceeds; and (iv) books and records and inspection.

The Wells Fargo Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including without limitation events of default based on payment obligations, repudiation of guaranty obligations, material inaccuracies of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, insolvency proceedings, monetary judgments in excess of certain amounts, change in control, certain ERISA events, and defaults under certain other obligations.

 

 

 

The Company is obligated to maintain certain minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA levels, certain minimum liquidity levels, certain total leverage ratios, and certain fixed charge coverage ratios, all as calculated in accordance with the terms and definitions determining such amounts as contained in the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement.
