COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION

2017 Credit Agreement

On April 6, 2017, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the "2017 Credit Agreement"), which provided for a $300.0 million term loan facility ("2017 Term Loan") and a $25.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (the "2017 Revolving Credit Facility"). The proceeds of the 2017 Term Loan were used to refinance the Company's existing credit facility and to pay costs and expenses associated with the 2017 Credit Agreement. As described above, on March 16, 2020, as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company incurred an event of default under the Credit Agreement.

Certain portions of the refinancing transaction were considered an extinguishment of debt and certain portions were considered a modification. A total of $5.7 million was paid for debt issuance costs related to the 2017 Credit Agreement. Of the $5.7 million in costs paid, $1.9 million related to the exchange of debt and was expensed, $3.3 million related to 2017 Term Loan third party costs and will be amortized over the 2017 Term Loan and $0.4 million prepaid debt issuance costs related to the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility and will be amortized over the term of the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, $4.8 million of debt discount and debt issuance costs related to the previous credit facility were expensed due to the extinguishment of that credit facility. The maturity date of the 2017 Term Loan is April 6, 2022 and the maturity date of the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility is October 6, 2021. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance of the 2017 Term Loan and the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility were $413.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively. The interest rate on the 2017 Term Loan and the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2019 were 8.0% and 8.7%, respectively.

Borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate. The applicable margin for loans under the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility is 6.0% for loans bearing interest calculated using the base rate ("Base Rate Loans") and 7.0% for loans bearing interest calculated using the adjusted LIBOR rate. The applicable margin for loans under the 2017 Term Loan is 4.75% for Base Rate Loans and 5.75% for adjusted LIBOR rate loans. The base rate is equal to the highest of (a) the adjusted U.S. Prime Lending Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, (b) with respect to term loans issued on the closing date, 2.00%, (c) the federal funds effective rate from time to time, plus 0.50%, and (d) the adjusted LIBOR rate, as defined below, for a one-month interest period, plus 1.00%. The adjusted LIBOR rate is equal to the rate per annum (adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities) at which Eurodollar deposits are offered in the interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable interest period (one, two, three or six months), as quoted on Reuters screen LIBOR (or any successor page or service). The financing commitments of the lenders extending the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility are subject to various conditions, as set forth in the 2017 Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has been in compliance with all covenants.

First Amendment

On June 28, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2017 Credit Agreement ("First Amendment"), by and among the Company, each of the lenders party thereto, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as Administrative Agent. The First Amendment clarified that for all purposes the Company's liabilities pursuant to any lease that was treated as rental and lease expense, and not as a capital lease obligation or indebtedness on the closing date of the 2017 Credit Agreement, would continue to be treated as a rental and lease expense, and not as a capital lease obligations or indebtedness, for all purposes of the 2017 Credit Agreement, notwithstanding any amendment of the lease that results in the treatment of such lease as a capital lease obligation or indebtedness for financial reporting purposes.

Second Amendment

On February 6, 2018, the Company, the Lenders party thereto and Jefferies Finance LLC, as Administrative Agent, entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment") that amended the 2017 Credit Agreement.

The Second Amendment, among other things, amends the 2017 Credit Agreement to (i) permit the Company to incur incremental term loans under the 2017 Credit Agreement of up to $135.0 million to finance the Company's acquisition of SingleHop and to pay related fees, costs and expenses, and (ii) revise the maximum total net leverage ratio and minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio covenants. The financial covenant amendments became effective upon the consummation of the SingleHop acquisition, while the other provisions of the Second Amendment became effective upon the execution and delivery of the Second Amendment. This transaction was considered a modification.

A total of $1.0 million was paid for debt issuance costs related to the Second Amendment. Of the $1.0 million in costs paid, $0.2 million related to the payment of legal and professional fees which were expensed, $0.8 million related to term loan lender fees and will be amortized over the term of the 2017 Credit Agreement.

Third Amendment

On February 28, 2018, INAP entered into the Incremental and Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement among the Company, the Lenders party thereto and Jefferies Finance LLC, as Administrative Agent (the "Third Amendment"). The Third Amendment provides for a funding of the new incremental term loan facility under the 2017 Credit Agreement of $135.0 million (the "Incremental Term Loan"). The Incremental Term Loan has terms and conditions identical to the existing loans under the 2017 Credit Agreement, as amended. Proceeds of the Incremental Term Loan were used to complete the acquisition of SingleHop and to pay fees, costs and expenses related to the acquisition, the Third Amendment and the Incremental Term Loan. This transaction was considered a modification.

A total of $5.0 million was paid for debt issuance costs related to the Third Amendment. Of the $5.0 million in costs paid, $0.1 million related to the payment of legal and professional fees which were expensed, $4.9 million related to term loan lender fees and will be amortized over the term of the 2017 Credit Agreement.

Fourth Amendment

On April 9, 2018, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to 2017 Credit Agreement, among the Company, the Lenders party thereto and Jefferies Finance LLC, as Administrative Agent (the "Fourth Amendment"). The Fourth Amendment amends the 2017 Credit Agreement to lower the interest rate margins applicable to the outstanding term loans under the 2017 Credit Agreement by 1.25%. This transaction was considered a modification.

Sixth Amendment

On May 8, 2019, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to the 2017 Credit Agreement, among the Company, the Lenders party thereto and Jefferies Finance LLC, as Administrative Agent (the “Sixth Amendment”). The Sixth Amendment (i) adjusted the applicable interest rates under the 2017 Credit Agreement, (ii) modified the maximum total net leverage ratio requirements and the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio requirements and (iii) modified certain other covenants.

Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, the applicable margin for the alternate base rate loan was increased from 4.75% per annum to 5.25% per annum and for the Eurodollar loan was increased from 5.75% per annum to 6.25% per annum, with such interest payable in cash, and in addition such term loans bear interest payable in kind at the rate of 0.75% per annum.

The Sixth Amendment also made the following modifications:


•	Added an additional basket of $500,000 for finance lease obligations.


•	The maximum amount of permitted asset dispositions was decreased from $150,000,000 to $50,000,000.

The table below sets forth information with respect to the current financial covenants as well as the calculation of our performance in relation to the covenant requirements at December 31, 2019.

A summary of our credit agreement as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is as follows (dollars in thousands):



	December 31,
	2019			2018
Outstanding principal balance on the term loan, less unamortized discount and prepaid costs of $12.5 million and $13.5 million, respectively	$	413,311		$	415,599
Outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility	20,000			—
Letters of credit issued	4,810			4,187
Surety bonds issued	131			131
Borrowing capacity on revolving credit facility	10,059			30,682
Interest rate – term loan	8.0		%	8.2		%
Interest rate – drawn amounts under revolving credit facility	8.7		%	—		%

The total balance outstanding on the term loan of $425.9 million, as well as the total amount drawn under the revolving line of credit of $20.0 million, are each due in 2020 because of the event of default.

The terms of our 2017 Credit Agreement specify certain events which would be considered an event of default. These events include if we do not comply with the financial covenants, a failure to make a payment under the credit agreement, a change of control of the Company or other proceedings related to insolvency. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, after completion of any applicable grace or cure period, lenders may demand immediate payment in full of all indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility, terminate their obligations to make any loans or advances or issue any letter of credit, set off and apply any and all deposits held by any lender for the credit or account of any borrower. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that accelerated the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, as a result of which the principal and interest due thereunder became immediately due and payable. The ability of the lenders to enforce such payment obligations under the Credit Agreement is automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the lenders’ rights of enforcement in respect of obligations under the Credit Agreement are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

The 2017 Credit Agreement, as amended, includes customary representations, warranties, negative and affirmative covenants.

Asset Retirement Obligations

In prior years, we recorded AROs related to future estimated removal costs of leasehold improvements for certain data center leased properties. We were able to reasonably estimate the liabilities on these properties in order to record the ARO and the corresponding asset retirement cost in our data center services segment at its fair value. We calculated the fair value by discounting the estimated amount to present value using the applicable Treasury bill rate adjusted for our credit non-performance risk. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the balance of the present value ARO was $2.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the entire balance was included in "Other long-term liabilities." We included all asset retirement costs in "Property and equipment, net" in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and depreciated those costs using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the related lease.

We have other finance lease agreements that require us to decommission physical space for which we have not yet recorded an ARO. Due to the uncertainty of specific decommissioning obligations, timing and related costs, we cannot reasonably estimate an ARO for these properties and we have not recorded a liability at this time for such properties.

Other Commitments

We have entered into commitments primarily related to IP, telecommunications and data center services. Future minimum payments under these service commitments having terms in excess of one year were as follows at December 31, 2019 (in thousands):



2020	$	2,390
2021	796
2022	140
2023	19
2024	—
Thereafter	—
	$	3,345

Litigation

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Each of these matters is inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or its subsidiaries or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. The Company does not believe that any of these pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

On March 16, 2020, the Company filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. For information on the Chapter 11 Cases, see Note 1, "Description of the Company and Nature of Operations."
