U.S. Bank term loan and revolving loan agreement

In October 2014, we entered into a syndicated senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”) with U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank" or the "Administrative Bank") and certain other banks in connection with the construction of our new corporate headquarters (the "Project"). The Facility is governed by a Loan Agreement dated as of October 24, 2014 which provides for an aggregate credit amount of $55.8 million, consisting of (i) a senior secured real estate loan of $45.8 million (the “Real Estate Loan”) to be used to finance a portion of the Project and (ii) a three-year $10.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loan”) for working capital and capital expenditures, but not for the Project. The Real Estate Loan and the Revolving Loan are both secured by the Project, our inventory and accounts receivable, substantially all of our deposit accounts and related assets. We began borrowing under the facility in October 2015.
    
On or about January 1, 2017 (but no later than 90 days thereafter), the Real Estate Loan was designed to convert into an approximately 6.75-year term loan due October 1, 2023 (the “Term Loan”) subject to certain conditions. As described further in Note 22. Subsequent Events, at January 1, 2017, the conditions to conversion were satisfied and the Real Estate Loan converted into the Term Loan. The aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan is $45.8 million.

Amounts outstanding under the Real Estate Loan and the Term Loan carry an interest rate based on one-month LIBOR plus 2.00% or an Alternate Base Rate plus 1.00%. However, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements designed to fix our interest rate on the Real Estate Loan and the Term Loan at approximately 4.6% annually (see Derivative financial instruments in Note 2. Accounting Policies). Monthly payments of interest only were due and payable on the Real Estate Loan prior to conversion. Following conversion, we are required to make monthly payments of principal estimated to be $1.1 million annually plus interest, with a balloon payment of all unpaid principal (estimated to be $38.0 million) and interest on October 1, 2023. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan will carry an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 2.00% or an Alternate Base Rate plus 1.00%.

We are required to maintain compliance as of the end of each calendar quarter with the following financial covenants:

a fixed charge coverage ratio on a trailing 12-month basis of no less than 1.15 to 1.00;
a cash flow leverage ratio on a trailing 12-month basis not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 during the Construction Phase (as defined in the Loan Agreement);
a cash flow leverage ratio not greater than 2.50 to 1.00 following the Construction Phase, and
minimum liquidity of at least $50.0 million.

At December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with the financial covenants. In addition to the financial covenants described above, we are required to comply with a number of covenants relating to the Project and our business, including covenants limiting certain indebtedness. Notwithstanding, the Loan Agreement permits us to incur up to $20 million of additional senior-secured indebtedness for equipment financing (as described under U.S. Bank master lease agreement below), and other senior-secured indebtedness provided that the aggregate principal amount of such other senior-secured indebtedness does not exceed ten percent of our consolidated assets. The Loan Agreement includes customary events of default in addition to events of default relating specifically to the Project. The Real Estate Loan and the Revolving Loan are cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized. In the event of a default, the default rate of interest would be 2.00% above the otherwise applicable rate. Unless it terminates earlier or is extended with the consent of the Administrative Bank and all of the Banks, the Revolving Loan facility will terminate on October 24, 2017.

As of December 31, 2016 we had borrowed $45.8 million under the Real Estate Loan. We have not borrowed any amounts under the Revolving Loan. Our liability under the Real Estate Loan approximates fair value. Amounts outstanding under the Real Estate Loan are presented net of discount and issuance costs in our consolidated balance sheets.

Future principal payments on the Facility as of December 31, 2016, are as follows (in thousands):

U.S. Bank master lease agreement

In November 2015, we entered into a Master Lease Agreement and a Financial Covenants Rider (collectively, the “Master Lease Agreement”) with U.S. Bank Equipment Finance, a division of U.S. Bank National Association (“Lessor”). Under the Master Lease Agreement we are able to sell certain assets (the "Leased Assets") to the Lessor and simultaneously lease them back for a period of 60 months. We are also able to finance certain software licenses (inclusive in the "Leased Assets") for a period of 60 months. We have the right to repurchase the Leased Assets and terminate the Master Lease Agreement twelve months following the initial term. We have the right to repurchase the Leased Assets at the end of the term for $1.00. Payments on the Master Lease Agreement are due monthly. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we received proceeds under the Master Lease Agreement of $11.4 million. The average interest rate for amounts outstanding under the Master Lease Agreement was approximately 3.60%.

We have accounted for the Master Lease Agreement as a financing transaction and amounts owed are included in Finance Obligations, current and non-current in the consolidated balance sheets. We recorded no gain or loss as a result of this transaction. The Master Lease Agreement allows for lease financing of up to $20 million. Our liability under the Master Lease Agreement approximates fair value.

In connection with the Master Lease Agreement, and as long as any obligations remain outstanding under the Master Lease Agreement, we are required to maintain compliance with the same financial covenants as the Term Loan agreement with U.S. Bank described above. At December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.

Future principal payments of finance obligations as of December 31, 2016, are as follows (in thousands):

U.S. Bank letters of credit
 
At December 31, 2016 and 2015, letters of credit totaling $430,000, were issued on our behalf collateralized by compensating cash balances held at U.S. Bank, which are included in Restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
U.S. Bank commercial purchasing card agreement
 
We have a commercial purchasing card (the “Purchasing Card”) agreement with U.S. Bank. We use the Purchasing Card for business purpose purchasing and must pay it in full each month. At December 31, 2016, $811,000 was outstanding and $4.2 million was available under the Purchasing Card. At December 31, 2015, $641,000 was outstanding and $4.4 million was available under the Purchasing Card.
