9. Notes Payable

Senior Secured Notes

On April 10, 2017, the Company issued $250,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.0% senior secured notes due 2024 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 10, 2017, among the Company, certain of its domestic subsidiaries party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral agent (the “Indenture”). The Senior Secured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Guarantors, and are secured on a first priority basis by (i) pledges of capital stock of certain of the Company’s directly- and indirectly-owned subsidiaries; and (ii) substantially all of the other property and assets of the Company and the Guarantors, to the extent a first priority security interest is able to be granted or perfected therein, and subject, in all cases, to certain specified exceptions, and an intercreditor agreement with the collateral agent for the Company’s revolving credit facility described below. Interest payments are due on the Senior Secured Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, beginning October 1, 2017.

The Company has the option to redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at any time on or after April 1, 2020, at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The Company also had the option to redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at any time before April 1, 2020 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In addition, at any time before April 1, 2020, the Company could have redeemed up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, with the proceeds from certain equity issuances.

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends, make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock; (iii) prepay, redeem or repurchase certain indebtedness; (iv) make loans and investments; (v) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; (vi) incur or permit to exist certain liens; (vii) enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; (viii) enter into agreements restricting the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and (ix) consolidate, amalgamate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets; subject, in all cases, to certain specified exceptions. Such limitations have various exceptions and baskets as set forth in the Indenture, including the incurrence by the Company and its restricted subsidiaries of indebtedness under potential new credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $50,000.

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $5,431. For the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, amortization of the debt issuance costs was $194 and $582, respectively.  The Company recorded charges of $5,194 and $15,582 to interest expense on its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the Senior Secured Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility

 

On December 18, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”), as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25,000 for working capital and general corporate purposes and matures on December 18, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). On June 25, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a first amendment to the senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Amendment”) with JPMorgan Chase, as administrative agent. The primary purpose of the Amendment was to modify the maximum net leverage ratio (total funded debt less cash and cash equivalents (up to $50,000) divided by trailing 12-months adjusted EBITDA) and minimum interest coverage ratio (trailing 12-months adjusted EBITDA divided by trailing 12-months cash interest expense) to provide the Company with access to additional liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic and to increase the applicable interest margins.  Effective June 25, 2020, at the Company’s election, extensions of loans under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at an alternative base rate or an adjusted LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 2.50% in the case of alternative base rate loans and 3.50% in the case of adjusted LIBOR loans. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets under a security agreement among the Company, its subsidiaries and JPMorgan Chase, subject to an intercreditor agreement with the indenture trustee for the Senior Secured Notes. The Revolving Credit Facility has no scheduled principal amortization until the Maturity Date. Subject to the terms set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time prior to the Maturity Date.

 

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, conditions to funding, covenants and events of default. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends, make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock; (iii) prepay, redeem or repurchase certain indebtedness; (iv) make loans and investments; (v) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; (vi) incur or permit to exist certain liens; (vii) enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; (viii) enter into agreements restricting the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and (ix) consolidate, amalgamate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets; subject, in all cases, to certain specified exceptions. Such limitations have various baskets as set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company must also comply with covenants of not exceeding a specific leverage ratio and maintaining a minimum interest coverage ratio. Failure to comply with the covenants could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could allow the lenders, to require repayment in full of all principal outstanding and interest accrued under the Revolving Credit Facility or could create a cross default under the Senior Secured Notes. If the Company fails to repay such amounts, the noteholders or lenders, as applicable, may foreclose on substantially all of the Company’s assets which the Company has pledged. If the Company is unable to cure the default, the Company may need to repay the debt and find other sources of financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

At September 30, 2020, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

 

Paycheck Protection Program

As previously reported, during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company received proceeds from a loan in the amount of $7,588 (the “PPP Loan”) from JPMorgan Chase, as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The Company believes that it qualified to apply for and receive the PPP Loan pursuant to the PPP under the provisions of the CARES Act and the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) guidance in effect at that time. In light of the Company entering into the amendment to its Revolving Credit Facility to provide it with access to additional liquidity, its improved outlook on its ability to generate cash from operations in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the evolving requirements and the new guidance issued by the SBA subsequent to its receipt of the PPP Loan, the Company repaid the full amount of the PPP Loan received and any accrued interest on June 25, 2020. The PPP Loan was prepayable at any time prior to the maturity date without any prepayment penalties.
