10. Borrowing facilities:

Effective October 31, 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated revolving credit facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”) which replaced a previous agreement extended beyond its original expiration date of June 2019. The Company participated with ATEL Capital Group and certain subsidiaries and affiliated entities as borrowers, with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders. The Credit Facility is comprised of a working capital sub-facility, an acquisition sub-facility, institutional leasing sub-facility, and a venture line sub-facility. The Company participates in the acquisition sub-facility and the institutional leasing sub-facility, on a several, but not joint, basis (i.e., the Company is liable only for the amount of the advances extended to the Company under those sub-facilities, and not as to amounts extended to any co-borrower).

The aggregate amount of the Credit Facility is $55 million, with sub-limits for each sub-facility, and currently expires June 30, 2021 (unless extended). The lending syndicate providing the Credit Facility has a blanket lien on all of the Company’s assets as collateral for any and all borrowings extended to the Company under the acquisition sub-facility or the institutional leasing sub-facility, on a several, but not joint, basis. The Credit Facility includes certain financial covenants made by the Company, as is customarily found in credit facilities of similar size and nature.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, borrowings under the Credit Facility were as follows (in thousands):


	2019		2018
Total available under the financing arrangement	$	55,000	$	75,000
Amount borrowed by the Company under the acquisition facility		—		(1,200)
Amount borrowed by affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies under the venture, acquisition, and warehouse facilities.		(850)		(910)
Total remaining available under the working capital, acquisition and warehouse facilities	$	54,150	$	72,890

The Company and its affiliates pay an annual commitment fee to have access to this line of credit. As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of the Credit Facility is potentially available to the Company, subject to certain sub-facility and borrowing-base limitations. However, as amounts are drawn on the Credit Facility by each of the Company and the affiliates who are borrowers under the Credit Facility, the amount remaining available to all borrowers to draw under Credit Facility is reduced. As the Warehousing Facility is a short term bridge facility, any amounts borrowed under the Warehousing Facility, and then repaid by the affiliated borrowers (including the Company) upon allocation of an acquisition to a specific purchaser, become available under the Warehouse Facility for further short term borrowing.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s Tangible Net Worth requirement under the Credit Facility was $10.0 million, the permitted maximum leverage ratio was not to exceed 1.25 to 1, and the required minimum interest coverage ratio was not to be less than 2 to 1. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants under the Credit Facility with a minimum Tangible Net Worth, leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as calculated per the Credit Facility agreement of $14.7 million, 0.24 to 1, and 18.67 to 1, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. As such, as of December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all material financial covenants, and with all other material conditions of the Credit Facility. The Company does not anticipate any covenant violations nor does it anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict its operations or its ability to procure additional financing.

Fee and interest terms

The interest rate on the Credit Facility is based on either the LIBOR plus 2.25% or the bank’s Prime rate, which re-prices daily. Principal amounts of loans made under the Credit Facility that are prepaid may be re-borrowed on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth under the Credit Facility. There were no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Warehouse facility

To hold the assets under the Warehousing Facility prior to allocation to specific investor programs, a Warehousing Trust has been entered into by the Company, AFS, ALC, and certain of the affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies. The Warehousing Trust is used by the Warehouse Facility borrowers to acquire and hold, on a short-term basis, certain lease transactions that meet the investment objectives of each of such entities. Each of the leasing programs sponsored by AFS and ALC is a pro rata participant in the Warehousing Trust, as described below. When a program no longer has a need for short-term financing provided by the Warehousing Facility, it is removed from participation, and as new leasing investment entities are formed by AFS and ALC and commence their acquisition stages, these new entities

are added.

As of December 31, 2019, the investment program participants were the Company, ATEL 15, LLC and ATEL 16, LLC. Pursuant to the Warehousing Trust, the benefit of the lease transaction assets, and the corresponding liabilities under the Warehouse Facility, inure to each of such entities based upon each entity’s pro-rata share in the Warehousing Trust estate. The “pro-rata share” is calculated as a ratio of the net worth of each entity over the aggregate net worth of all entities benefiting from the Warehousing Trust estate, excepting that the trustees, AFS and ALC, are both jointly and severally liable for the pro-rata portion of the obligations of each of the affiliated limited liability companies participating under the Warehouse Facility. Transactions are financed through this Warehouse Facility only until the transactions are allocated to a specific program for purchase or are otherwise disposed by AFS and ALC. When a determination is made to allocate the transaction to a specific program for purchase by the program, the purchaser repays the debt associated with the asset, either with cash or by means of proceeds of a draw under the Acquisition Facility, and the asset is removed from the Warehouse Facility collateral, and ownership of the asset and any debt obligation associated with the asset are assumed solely by the purchasing entity.
