On May 31, 2013, we amended our $120 million credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to (i) extend the maturity date to May 31, 2018; (ii) change the allocation between the term loan (the “Term Loan”) and the revolving loan (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) to $30 million and $90 million, respectively; (iii) modify the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage ratio to exclude distributions made when the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00 from the fixed charge component of such ratio; (iv) revise the interest rates and commitment fees, as set forth below; (v) remove the cap on additional business acquisitions if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00, and if equal to or greater than such amount, cap such acquisitions at $35 million subject to certain conditions; and (vi) remove the cap on the annual aggregate of dividends, distributions, and stock redemptions if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00, and if equal to or greater than such amount, such annual aggregate amount becomes subject to a pro forma covenant compliance.
 
We had $70 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2013. The unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and related transaction expenses and permitted stock buybacks.
 
The Term Loan principal amortizes in equal installments of 5% of the Term Loan during each year, however, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, as defined in the Credit Facility, no amortization payment is required. The Credit Facility is also subject to mandatory prepayment requirements, including but not limited to, certain sales of assets, certain insurance proceeds, certain debt issuances and certain sales of equity. Optional prepayments of the Credit Facility are permitted without any premium or penalty, other than certain costs and expenses. As of June 30, 2013, we have no required amortization payment.
 
Interest rates under the Credit Facility are payable, at our option, at alternatives equal to LIBOR (0.19535% at June 28, 2013) plus 1.25% to 2.25% (0.2117% at December 31, 2012, plus 1.50% to 2.75%) or the base rate plus 0.25% to 1.25% (0.50% to 1.75% at December 31, 2012). The spread over LIBOR and the base rate vary from time to time, depending upon our financial leverage. We also pay quarterly commitment fees of 0.25% to 0.35% per annum (0.25% to 0.375% per annum at December 31, 2012) on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility.
 
We have pledged substantially all of our assets (excluding our FCC licenses and certain other assets) in support of the Credit Facility and each of our subsidiaries has guaranteed the Credit Facility and has pledged substantially all of their assets (excluding their FCC licenses and certain other assets) in support of the Credit Facility.
 
The Credit Facility contains a number of financial covenants (all of which we were in compliance with at June 30, 2013) which, among other things, require us to maintain specified financial ratios and impose certain limitations on us with respect to investments, additional indebtedness, dividends, distributions, guarantees, liens and encumbrances.
