The Term Loan B facility bears an interest rate of LIBOR + 425 basis points and has a five-year term with 1.0% amortization profile and was issued at 98%. Navios Partners used the net proceeds of the Term Loan B facility to: i) prepay $101,614 of the July 2012 Credit Facility; ii) fully repay the outstanding balance $41,225 of the August 2012 Credit Facility; iii) $98,179 held in escrow, to partially finance part of the acquisition of four new vessels; and iv) cover fees and expenses. As of June 30, 2013, the outstanding balance was $245,000, net of discount and it is repayable in 20 installments of $625 with a final payment $237,500.

The Term Loan B facility is secured by first priority mortgages covering certain vessels owned by subsidiaries of Navios Partners, in addition to other collateral and guaranteed by each subsidiary of Navios Partners. The Term Loan Agreement requires maintenance of a loan to value ratio of 0.8 to 1.0, and other restrictive covenants customary for facilities of this type (subject to negotiated exceptions and baskets), including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and investments, restricted payments and dispositions. The Term Loan Agreement also provides for customary events of default.

The July 2012 Credit Facility bears interest at rates ranging from 180 to 205 bps per annum (depending on the loan amount compared to the security value) plus, depending on the length of the interest period, either LIBOR or the actual cost of funds. The refinancing of this facility was accounted for as debt modification in accordance with ASC470 Debt and an amount of $1,319 was written-off from the deferred financing fees.

In June 2013, Navios Partners fully repaid the outstanding balance of $41,225 of the August 2012 Credit facility from the proceeds of the Term Loan B facility. The refinancing of this facility was accounted for as debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC470 Debt and the remaining unamortized balance of $707 was written-off from the deferred financing fees.

As of June 30, 2013, the total borrowings under the Navios Partners' credit facilities were $345,031. As of June 30, 2013, Navios Partners was in compliance with the financial covenants of its credit facilities.

The July 2012 Credit Facility also requires Navios Partners to comply with the ISM Code and ISPS Code and to maintain valid safety management certificates and documents of compliance at all times.
