SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 31, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with three lenders, Alostar Bank of Commerce (“Alostar”), HPF Holdco, LLC and Rushing Creek 4, LLC, led by HPF Service, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”), for an aggregate principal amount of $45 million (the “Loan”).  The Loan consists of a $30 million term loan from HPF Holdco, LLC and Rushing Creek 4, LLC secured by a first priority lien in favor of the Agent on substantially all of the real and personal property owned by the Company, and a $15 million term loan from Alostar secured by a $15.3 million cash collateral account controlled by Alostar. At the Borrowers’ request, a percentage of the cash collateral may be released to the Borrowers in the Agent’s sole discretion and with the consent of Alostar upon the satisfaction of certain criteria as outlined in the New Credit Agreement. The Loan, which matures on July 31, 2019, replaces the Company’s prior $20 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. and other lenders, which was due to expire on April 5, 2016.  The prior revolving credit facility was terminated concurrently with the effective date of the New Credit Agreement on July 31, 2015 (the “Closing Date”); however, letters of credit in the aggregate amount of approximately $7.1 million issued by Bank of America, N.A. under the revolving credit facility remain outstanding following the termination of the revolving credit facility.
 
A portion of the proceeds of the Loan were used by the Company to (i) repay approximately $6.3 million in outstanding principal, accrued interest and fees due under the existing revolving credit facility, (ii) fund the $15.3 million cash collateral account securing the portion of the Loan provided by Alostar, (iii) fund approximately $7.4 million in a cash collateral account securing the letters of credit issued under the prior revolving credit facility that remain outstanding after the termination of the revolving credit facility and (iv) pay transaction expenses in connection with the Loan and the termination of the prior revolving credit facility.  The remaining proceeds of the Loan of approximately $13.8 million may be used by the Borrowers to finance capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes consistent with the terms of the New Credit Agreement.

Interest will accrue on the Loan at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 11% and (ii) 90-day LIBOR plus 9%  determined monthly by the Agent and will be payable monthly in arrears.  The principal balance of the Loan will be repaid in equal monthly installments, commencing on August 1, 2017, determined as the quotient of (i) 10% of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of July 2, 2017 divided by (ii) 12.  A final installment of principal and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due on the maturity date of the Loan.

The Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, subject to the payment of a prepayment premium equal to (i) 5% of the principal amount prepaid at any time up to but not including the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) 3% of the principal amount prepaid at any time commencing on the second anniversary of the Closing Date up to but not including the third anniversary of the Closing Date.  In the event of any sale or other disposition of a school or real property by the Company permitted under the New Credit Agreement, the net proceeds of such sale or disposition must be used to prepay the Loan in an amount determined pursuant to the New Credit Agreement, subject to the applicable prepayment premium; provided, however, that no prepayment premium will be due with respect to up to $15 million of aggregate repayments of the Loan made during the first year that the Loan is outstanding.  A portion of the net cash proceeds of any disposition of a school in an amount determined pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Agreement, must be deposited and held as cash collateral in a deposit account controlled by the Agent until the conditions for release set forth in the New Credit Agreement are satisfied.

The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants such as minimum financial responsibility composite score, cohort default rate, and other financial covenants, including minimum liquidity, minimum capital expenditures, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum EBITDA, as well as affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for facilities of this type.

Also, in connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Company paid to the Agent a commitment fee of $1.0 million and is required to pay to the Agent other customary fees for facilities of this type.
