Bank Line of Credit
The Company has outstanding borrowings under a syndicated working capital facility with banks for a total commitment of up to $250.0 million. The working capital facility is secured by substantially all of the unencumbered assets of the Company, as well as ownership interests in certain subsidiaries of the Company.
Under the terms of the working capital facility, the Company is required to meet various restrictive covenants, such as the completion and presentation of audited consolidated financial statements, maintaining a minimum unencumbered liquidity of at least $25.0 million in the aggregate as of the last day of each calendar month and maintaining a modified interest coverage ratio of 2.00 or greater, measured quarterly as of the last day of each quarter. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2017.
As of June 30, 2017, the balance under this facility was $247.0 million with a maturity date in April 2018. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s cash balance was $211.3 million and as such, the Company does not currently have the funds required to fully repay the debt. As this facility has a three year term, the Company is in the process of negotiating refinancing options and plans to extend the maturity date of the facility. Although there is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so, the Company believes that it is probable that it will be able to extend or otherwise refinance the facility prior to maturity.
Syndicated Credit Facilities
Each of the Company's syndicated credit facilities contain customary covenants including the requirement to maintain certain financial measurements and provide lender reporting. Each of the syndicated credit facilities also contain certain provisions in the event of default which entitle lenders to take certain actions including acceleration of amounts due under the facilities and acquisition of membership interests and assets that are pledged to the lenders under the terms of the credit facilities.

Solar Asset-Backed Notes
As of June 30, 2017, a subsidiary of the Company has an outstanding balance of $98.9 million on solar asset-backed notes ("Notes") secured by associated customer contracts (“Solar Assets”) held by a special purpose entity (“Issuer”).

The Notes were issued at a discount of 0.08%.
In connection with the transaction, the Company modified two lease pass-through arrangements with an investor. The modified lease-pass through arrangements require the majority of the cash flows generated by the Solar Assets to be passed on to the Issuer through monthly lease payments from the Fund investor. Those cash flows are used to service the monthly principal of the Notes and interest payments and satisfy the Issuer’s expenses, and any residual cash flows are retained by the Fund investor and recorded as a reduction in the remaining financing obligation. The Company recognizes revenue earned from the associated Customer Agreements in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. The assets and cash flows generated by the Solar Assets are not available to the other creditors of the Company, and the creditors of the Issuer, including the Note holders, have no recourse to the Company’s other assets. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2017.
