On October 27, 2014, in connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into the Loan Agreement, a guaranty and a pledge and security agreement with certain funds and accounts managed by Greenlight, our largest shareholder. Greenlight beneficially owns approximately 49.9% of the voting power of the Company. The Loan Agreement provides for a five year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million which funded part of the Transaction (the “Term Loan Facility”). Certain subsidiaries of the Company guarantee obligations under the Term Loan Facility pursuant to the guaranty.

The Term Loan Facility bears interest at 9.0% per annum, payable quarterly, from October 27, 2014 through the first anniversary thereof and 10.0% per annum thereafter. The Company has a one-time right to elect to pay up to four consecutive quarters’ interest in kind. The Term Loan Facility is subject to mandatory prepayment with 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the incurrence of certain debt by the Company or the issuance of certain equity securities. Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan Facility is permitted at any time. All prepayments made prior to October 27, 2016 are subject to a 1.0% prepayment premium.

The Term Loan Facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets and substantially all of the assets, subject to certain exceptions, of each of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The costs associated with the issuance of the Term Loan Facility of $0.4 million were deferred and are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We are amortizing these debt issuance costs to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan Facility using the effective interest method.

The Term Loan Facility is subject to customary affirmative covenants, including affirmative covenants relating to: reporting requirements; preservation of existence; payment of liabilities, including taxes; maintenance of insurance; visitation rights; keeping of records and books of accounts; compliance with laws; use of proceeds; further assurance; additional security; environmental compliance; and accounting and financial management.

The Term Loan Facility is also subject to customary negative covenants, including negative covenants relating to limits on: incurrence of indebtedness and liens; investments; dividends and related distributions; liquidations; mergers and acquisitions; disposition of assets or subsidiaries; transactions with affiliates; change in business; change of fiscal year; issuance of stock by subsidiaries; amendments to organizational documents; entering into inconsistent agreements; foreign subsidiaries; and entering into hedging arrangements.

In addition, the Term Loan Facility requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, tested quarterly, of no more than (a) 0.80 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter in which all or a portion of the interest on the facility for such fiscal quarter is paid-in kind for the previous four quarter period ending prior to such date or (b) 1.00 to 1.20 as of the last day of any other fiscal quarter for the previous four quarter period ending prior to such date.

We were in compliance with all covenants of the Term Loan Facility at March 31, 2015.
