On November 9, 2017 (the “Amendment No. 2 Effective Date”), the Company entered into an amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Financing Agreement. The Second Amendment extended an additional $15.0 million term loan to the Company, thereby increasing the aggregate principal amount of the term loan to $115.0 million. The Second Amendment also increased the amount of available revolving credit by $5.0 million to an aggregate amount of $10.0 million. The additional $15.0 million term loan must be repaid in quarterly principal payments of $187,500 commencing in March 2018. The Second Amendment also granted the Company the ability to use up to $15.0 million to purchase Notes and modified the definition of consolidated EBITDA used in the Leverage Ratio calculation to adjust for expected changes in deferred revenue due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, the new revenue recognition guidance.
