SENIOR LOAN FACILITY
 SENIOR LOAN FACILITY

On June 29, 2016, the Corporation, as borrower, and each of the Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), entered into the Senior Loan Facility with the Supporting Holders of the Senior Secured Notes. In addition to the Supporting Holders, one additional holder of the Senior Secured Notes subsequently elected to participate as a lender in the Senior Loan Facility based on their proportionate ownership of the Senior Secured Notes as discussed in Note 19. The Senior Loan Facility provides funding up to a maximum amount of $30,000. Under the terms of the Senior Loan Facility, $15,000 became immediately available and the remaining $15,000 became available for borrowing based upon receipt by the Corporation of Alaska Tax Credits of not less than $25,000. On October 24, 2016, the lenders amended the Senior Loan Facility to waive the Alaska Tax Credit requirement, thereby allowing the Corporation to immediately access the remaining $15,000 availability. Under the terms of the Senior Loan Facility, the remaining availability can be borrowed on up to three separate dates. As of December 31, 2016 borrowings of $29,995 were outstanding under the Senior Loan Facility. The Senior Loan Facility is secured by a junior first lien on the Corporation's accounts receivable, which includes the Tax Credits and certificates evidencing the Tax Credits. Those Tax Credits and certificates are also pledged on a senior first lien basis to the Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility.   Any proceeds from monetizing the Tax Credits or Tax Credit certificates are paid into an account at the Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility and automatically reduce the amount the Corporation has borrowed under our revolving line of credit.  The Senior Loan Facility requires that once the Corporation has received $15 million in proceeds from the Tax Credits or Tax Credit certificates, unless waived by the lenders (or individual lenders) under the Senior Loan Facility, mandatory payments of proceeds from the Tax Credits or certificates must be made to reduce the amount outstanding under the Senior Loan Facility.

Borrowings under the Senior Loan Facility bear interest at a rate of 10% per year, payable monthly. The Senior Loan Facility has a maturity date of January 2, 2018, unless terminated earlier. In connection with the borrowing, costs totaling $30,082 were recorded as a deferred loan issuance cost on the balance sheet in the year ended December 31, 2016. The deferred loan issuance costs recorded in 2016 included a $600 facility fee, legal and investment banking costs, and $28,425 for the fair value of 2,803,302 shares of the Corporation's common stock issued to the lenders on July 27, 2016. The fair value of the common stock was determined using the probability-weighted expected return method based on a combination of the income and market approaches and a mergers and acquisition scenario. The deferred loan issuance costs are being amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the Senior Loan Facility.

The Senior Loan Facility is secured by substantially all of the collateral securing the obligations under (i) the Revolving Credit Agreement (ii) the Senior Secured Notes and (iii) the Second Lien Notes, including the receivable due to the Corporation discussed in Note 3. This security interest is junior to the security interest in such collateral securing the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility and senior to the security interests in such collateral securing the obligations under the Second Lien Notes and the Senior Secured Notes.

The Senior Loan Facility contains negative covenants that restrict the Corporation’s and the Guarantors’ ability to incur indebtedness, create or incur liens, enter into fundamental changes to the Corporation’s corporate structure or to the nature of the Corporation’s business, dispose of assets, permit a change in control to occur, make certain prepayments, other payments and distributions, make certain investments, enter into affiliate transactions or make certain distributions, and requires that the Corporation maintain and deliver certain financial reports, projections, records and other items. The Senior Loan Facility also contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and other terms and conditions, including relating to the payment of fees to the Senior Loan Facility agent and the lenders, and customary events of default. The Corporation was in compliance with the Senior Loan Facility covenants as of December 31, 2016.


On June 29, 2016, the Corporation, the guarantors party thereto (the “Existing Notes Guarantors”) and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (successor to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee for the Senior Secured Notes (the “Existing Trustee”), entered into a first supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes (the “Existing Indenture”). The Supplemental Indenture modified the Existing Indenture to, among other things, permit the incurrence of additional secured indebtedness pursuant to the Senior Loan Facility and the issuance of the Second Lien Notes in the Exchange Offer. The Supplemental Indenture includes additional changes necessary to give effect to the Restructuring and directed the Existing Trustee, in its capacity as noteholder collateral agent for the Senior Secured Notes, to enter into the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement and the amendment to the Existing Security Agreement, each as described below, on behalf of the Existing Holders. The material terms of the Existing Indenture, other than the amendments summarized above, remain substantially as set forth in the Existing Indenture.

On June 29, 2016, Wells Fargo, in its capacity as lender and collateral agent under the Revolving Credit Facility, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (successor to U.S. Bank National Association), in its capacity as trustee and collateral agent for the Senior Secured Notes ("Noteholder Collateral Agent"), and Delaware Trust Corporation, in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Senior Loan Facility, amended and restated the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2014, by and between Wells Fargo and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association) (the “Existing Intercreditor Agreement” and as amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement”), to govern the relationship of the Existing Holders, the holders of Second Lien Notes, and the lenders under the Corporation’s Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Loan Facility, with respect to the collateral and certain other matters. The Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, among other things, modifies the terms of the Existing Intercreditor Agreement to (i) establish the relative priorities, rights, obligations and remedies with respect to the collateral among the Existing Holders, the holders of the Second Lien Notes, the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, the lenders under the Senior Loan Facility, the holders of future debt that is permitted to share the security interests currently held by them and the collateral agents of the foregoing (collectively, the “Secured Parties”); and (ii) modify the terms of the Existing Intercreditor Agreement to permit the holders of obligations under the Senior Loan Facility and the Second Lien Notes to share the security interests currently held by the Existing Holders and Wells Fargo as the lender under the Revolving Credit Facility as follows:

the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by all of the existing collateral on a senior first lien priority basis;
the obligations under the Senior Loan Facility are secured by all of the existing collateral on a junior first lien priority basis;
the obligations under the Second Lien Notes are secured by substantially all of the existing collateral on a second lien priority basis; and
the obligations under the Senior Secured Notes are secured by substantially all of the existing collateral on a third lien priority basis.

In addition, the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement provides that, following a triggering event, as among the Secured Parties, the Senior Representative (defined below) will have the right (subject to a purchase option by the other Secured Parties) to, or the right to direct any other collateral agent to, adjust or settle insurance policies or claims in the event of any loss thereunder relating to insurance proceeds with respect to collateral, to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting such insurance proceeds and to enforce rights, exercise remedies and discretionary rights and powers with respect to collateral. The Secured Parties agreed that if the Corporation or any guarantor becomes subject to a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Secured Parties will only be permitted to object to a debtor-in-possession financing or the use of cash collateral if the Secured Parties for which the Senior Representative is the collateral agent also object. The “Senior Representative” under the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement is Wells Fargo as the Revolving Credit Facility agent, until the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility have been discharged in full, after which the Senior Loan Facility agent will be the Senior Representative; and once the Revolving Credit Facility agent and the Senior Loan Facility agent each cease to be the Senior Representative and the obligations under each of the Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Loan Facility have been discharged in full, the Senior Representative will be Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as the New Noteholder Collateral Agent. The material terms of the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, other than those summarized above, remain substantially as set forth in the Existing Intercreditor Agreement, except that the Noteholder Collateral Agent will no longer have a first-priority security interest in the “Noteholder Priority Collateral” (as such term is defined in the Existing Intercreditor Agreement).

On June 29, 2016, the Corporation and the Senior Secured Notes Guarantors, as pledgors, also entered into an amendment (the “Security Agreement Amendment”) to the Security Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2014 (as amended from time to time, the “Existing Security Agreement”), with Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as Noteholder Collateral Agent for the Senior Secured Notes. The Security Agreement Amendment introduced conforming changes to reflect the provisions incorporated into the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement.

Senior Secured Notes

On July 2, 2014, the Corporation entered into an Indenture ("Indenture") under which it issued $150,000 of senior secured notes due July 15, 2019, in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. On June 19, 2015, all outstanding senior secured notes were exchanged for an equal amount of new senior secured notes ("Senior Secured Notes"), which are substantially identical in terms to the existing senior secured notes except that the Senior Secured Notes are registered under the Securities Act.

The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 10% payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2015. The proceeds from the original issuance of the Senior Secured Notes were used to pay the amounts outstanding under the 2012 Credit Agreement, pay the note payable to the Corporation's former common stockholders, pay related fees and expenses, fund the purchase of equipment related to the Corporation’s Alaska operations, and for general corporate purposes.

On August 26, 2015, the Corporation entered into a privately-negotiated exchange agreement with certain funds managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Holders") to exchange $10,000 principal amount of Senior Secured Notes ("Exchanged Notes") for 2,366,307 shares of the Corporation’s common stock ("Exchanged Stock"), as determined using a 30-day volume weighted average share price as of August 26, 2015. In connection with the exchange, the Corporation paid all accrued unpaid interest on the Exchanged Notes to the Holders in cash, and the Exchanged Notes were canceled. The Exchanged Stock was valued at $6,602 based on the $2.79 average share price on August 27, 2015, the closing date of the exchange. The exchange resulted in a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $3,014 in the year ended December 31, 2015, consisting of the difference between the principal amount of the Exchanged Notes less the fair value of the Exchanged Stock, reduced by the Exchanged Notes prorata portion of the Senior Secured Notes unamortized deferred loan issuance costs on the closing date of $343 and legal fees of $41.

The Corporation has the right to redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount to be redeemed) set forth below, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, if redeemed on or after January 15, 2017 as indicated:
Period
Percentage
On or after January 15, 2017 and prior to July 15, 2017
107.5%
On or after July 15, 2017 and prior to July 15, 2018
105.0%
On and after July 15, 2018
100.0%
 

Subject to certain exceptions, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), each holder of Senior Secured Notes will have the right to require the Corporation to purchase that holder’s Senior Secured Notes for a cash price equal to 101% of the principal amounts to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. Upon the occurrence of an Asset Sale (as defined in the Indenture), each holder of Senior Secured Notes will have the right to require the Corporation to purchase that holder’s Senior Secured Notes for a cash price equal to 100% of the principal amounts to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase from any proceeds from the Asset Sale in excess of $7.5 million that are not otherwise used by the Corporation to either reduce its debt, reinvest in assets or acquire a permitted business.
 
The Indenture, which was amended in connection with the Exchange Offer described below, contains covenants which include limitations on the Corporation's ability to: (i) transfer or sell assets; (ii) pay dividends, redeem subordinated indebtedness or make other restricted payments; (iii) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or, with respect to the Corporation's restricted subsidiaries, issue preferred stock; (iv) create or incur liens; (v) incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting its restricted subsidiaries; (vi) consummate a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its or its subsidiaries’ assets; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (viii) engage in business other than its current business and reasonably related extensions thereof; and (ix) take or omit to take any actions that would adversely affect or impair in any material respect the collateral securing the Senior Secured Notes. The Corporation is in compliance with the Indenture covenants as of December 31, 2016.

Exchange of Senior Secured Notes for 10% Second Lien Notes

As discussed in Note 2, the Corporation commenced an offer on June 24, 2016 to exchange each $1 of the Senior Secured Notes for (i) $0.50 of newly issued 10% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2019 and (ii) 46.41 shares of newly issued Corporation common stock (giving effect to a 135-for-1 reverse stock split that was effected in connection with closing of the Exchange Offer). The Exchange Offer closed on July 27, 2016. On the Closing Date, a total of $138,128 face value of the Senior Secured Notes were exchanged for (i) $76,523 Second Lien Notes, including $7,459 Second Lien Notes representing accrued and unpaid interest and (ii) 6,410,502 shares of Corporation common stock.

The exchange was accounted for as a modification during the year ended December 31, 2016. The Second Lien Notes were recorded at the net carrying value of the Senior Secured Notes exchanged of $134,522, less the fair value of the Corporation common stock issued to participating noteholders of $65,003, plus the accrued and unpaid interest of $7,459 included in the exchange. The resulting $455 excess of carrying value over face value of the Second Lien Notes is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Second Lien Notes. The fair value of the common stock was determined using the probability-weighted expected return method based on a combination of the income and market approaches and a mergers and acquisition scenario. Costs incurred by the participating noteholders during the exchange of $345 were recognized as debt discount and are being amortized over the term of the Second Lien Notes.

In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Corporation also completed a consent solicitation to make certain proposed limited amendments to the terms of the indenture for the Senior Secured Notes, the related security documents and the existing intercreditor agreement to permit the Restructuring as discussed in Note 7. The Second Lien Notes terms are substantially similar to the Senior Secured Notes with the following modifications:
 
The Second Lien Notes have a maturity date of September 24, 2019, provided that, if any of the Senior Secured Notes remain outstanding as of March 31, 2019, the maturity date of the Second Lien Notes will become April 14, 2019 upon the vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Second Lien Notes.

The liens securing the Second Lien Notes are junior to the liens securing the Senior Loan Facility and senior to the liens securing the Senior Secured Notes after the Closing Date.

In addition to the exchange consideration, each participating holder received accrued and unpaid interest on its tendered Senior Secured Notes that were accepted for exchange from their last interest payment date of January 15, 2016 to, but not including, the settlement date, which was paid in the form of Second Lien Notes with a principal amount equal to the amount of such accrued and unpaid interest totaling $7,459.

Interest on the Second Lien Notes is payable quarterly. The Corporation may elect to pay interest on the Second Lien Notes in kind with additional Second Lien Notes for the first twelve months of interest payment dates following the Closing Date, provided that, if the Corporation makes this election, the interest on the Second Lien Notes for such in kind payments will accrue at a per annum rate 1% percent higher than the cash interest rate of 10%. The Corporation elected to pay interest during the year ended December 31, 2016 of $3,619 in kind.
 
The Second Lien Notes have a special redemption right at par of up to $35 million of the issuance to be paid out of the proceeds of the Alaska Tax Credit certificates and is conditioned upon payment in full of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Senior Loan Facility.

The Second Lien Notes include a make-whole provision requiring that if the Second Lien Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due and payable prior to their stated maturity due to an Event of Default (including but not limited to a bankruptcy or liquidation of the Corporation (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), then the applicable premium payable with respect to an optional redemption will also be immediately due and payable, along with the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest on, the Second Lien Notes and constitutes part of the obligations in respect thereof as if such acceleration were an optional redemption of the Second Lien Notes, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each holder’s lost profits as a result thereof.
