Long Term Debt and Notes Payable to Bank
LONG TERM DEBT AND NOTES PAYABLE TO BANK
On February 21, 2014, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”) with Fifth Third Bank (the “Bank”) which amended the July 30, 2010 Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), including the First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of April 14, 2011, the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of November 16, 2011, the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of March 2, 2012, the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of August 13, 2012, the Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of November 14, 2012 and the Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of April 1, 2013 (collectively, the "Previous Amendments") as follows. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Bank has provided the Companies a revolving credit facility and a term loan described below. The Seventh Amendment extended the maturity date of both the revolving credit facility and the term loan from April 30, 2014 to July 31, 2015. The Seventh Amendment decreased the interest rate on both the revolving credit facility and term loan by 1.00% to equal the one month LIBOR plus four hundred basis points (4.00%) through June 30, 2014. The interest rate will increase effective July 1, 2014 by 2.00% to equal the one month LIBOR plus six hundred basis points (6.00%) through September 30, 2014. The interest rate will increase effective October 1, 2014 by an additional 2.00% to equal the one month LIBOR plus eight hundred basis points (8.00%) and continuing thereafter. The Seventh Amendment decreased the maximum revolving commitment by $10.0 million to $15.0 million until September 30, 2014. On October 1, 2014, the maximum revolving commitment will decrease by $2.5 million to $12.5 million through the termination date. The Seventh Amendment increased the eligible inventory available for calculating the borrowing base effective February 21, 2014 to 60.0% of up to $12.5 million in eligible inventory. The Seventh Amendment decreased the principal payment on the term loan by $80.0 thousand to $25.0 thousand per month on March 1, and April 1, 2014. Principal payments then increase by $25.0 thousand to $50.0 thousand, payable on the first day of each month until the sale of certain real estate owned by ISA, at which time a new payment will be calculated based on net proceeds from the sale. The Seventh Amendment reduced the ratio of adjusted EBITDA for the preceding twelve months to aggregate cash payments of interest expense and scheduled payment of principal in the preceding twelve months (the "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio") to no less than 1.0 to 1.0 for the period ending September 30, 2014. The Seventh Amendment also provided a waiver of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant default for the quarters ended June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2013.  The Seventh Amendment requires that unfunded capital expenditures should not exceed $500.0 thousand. The Seventh Amendment also requires that the sum of the Company's cash balances plus the amount of unused revolving line of credit availability under the borrowing base equal or exceed a specified amount in the aggregate for certain time periods ("Minimum Liquidity Covenant") as follows: $200.0 thousand for any month end beginning February 28 and ending on June 30, 2014; $500.0 thousand for any month end beginning on July 31 and ending on December 31, 2014; and $1.0 million for any month end beginning on or after January 31, 2015. The Seventh Amendment added a minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA ("Minimum EBITDA") requirement stating that the Minimum EBITDA shall not fall below (i) $250.0 thousand for the calendar year to date period ending on March 31, 2014, (ii) $500.0 thousand for the calendar year to date period ending on June 30, 2014 (iii) $750.0 thousand for the calendar year to date period ending on September 30, 2014, and (iv) $1.0 million for each calendar year to date ending on or after December 31, 2014. The Seventh Amendment requires ISA to periodically provide the Bank with a business plan and its strategy for obtaining certain growth metrics. In addition, the Company also agreed to perform other customary commitments and pay a fee totaling $200.0 thousand to the Bank by the end of the year.  All other terms of the Credit Agreement and Previous Amendments remain in effect. In connection with the Seventh Amendment, the Company amended and restated both the term loan not (the "Amended and Restated Term Loan Note") and the revolving loan note (the "Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Note"), issued to the Bank under the Credit Agreement.
On October 15, 2013, WESSCO, LLC ("WESSCO"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, signed two promissory notes (collectively, the "KY Bank Notes") in favor of The Bank of Kentucky, Inc. ("KY Bank"), one in the amount of $3.0 million (the "Term Note") and one in the amount of $1.0 million (the "Line of Credit Note"). The Company used the proceeds from the Term Note to pay the Bank $3.0 million against the Company’s loan from that bank (the “Fifth Third Loan”). WESSCO expects to use the Line of Credit Note to purchase additional equipment.  The Company is a guarantor of the KY Bank Notes.  The Company has also signed a $3.0 million demand promissory note (the “Company Note”) in favor of WESSCO in exchange for the proceeds of WESSCO’s Term Note.

In connection with these transactions, WESSCO executed a Reaffirmation of Guaranty and Security (the “Fifth Third Security Document”), through which it guarantees the Fifth Third Loan and grants Fifth Third Bank a security interest in its assets.

As security for the KY Bank Notes, WESSCO provided KY Bank a first priority security interest in all of its assets, including the Company Note, pursuant to a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”). The KY Bank Notes impose a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Covenant on WESSCO under which: (i) the sum of (a) WESSCO’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, rent, and interest expense, less distributions and (b) unfunded capital expenditures, divided by (ii) the sum of (x) the current portion of long term debt due for the period, (y) interest expense and (z) rent expense is required to be at least 1.15 to 1 at all times.  KY Bank will test this ratio annually measured for periods starting January 1 and ending December 31. The Security Agreement also contains other customary covenants.

The interest rate on the KY Bank Notes and the Company Note is equal to the one month LIBOR plus three and one-half percent (3.50%) adjusted automatically on the first day of each month during the term of the KY Bank Notes, which have a final maturity date of October 14, 2019.  As of December 31, 2013, the interest rate was 3.67%. In the event of a default, the interest rate under the KY Bank Notes (but not the Company Note) will increase by five percent (5.00%).  Events of default under the KY Bank Notes include (a) the failure to pay (i) any installment of principal or interest payable pursuant to the Term Note or the Line of Credit Note on the date when due, or (ii) any other amount payable to KY Bank under the KY Bank Notes, the Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents within five (5) days after the date when any such payment is due in accordance with the terms thereof; (b) the occurrence of any default under the Fifth Third Security Document; (c) the occurrence of any default under any of the documents evidencing or securing any other loan made to WESSCO or the Company (except that if there is an event of default under the documents evidencing the Fifth Third Loan, it will not constitute an event of default under the KY Bank Notes if Fifth Third Bank and the Company enter into a forbearance agreement within sixty (60) days of that event of default); and (d) the occurrence of any other “Event of Default” under the Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The only event of default under the Company Note is the failure of the Company to pay all funds due to WESSCO on demand.

The principal under the Term Note is payable in sixty (60) monthly installments as follows: $45.3 thousand for the first year, $47.5 thousand for the second year, $49.9 thousand for the third year, $52.4 thousand for the fourth year, and $54.4 thousand for the eleven months of the final year. Interest will be calculated as noted above and paid each month. The first payment commenced November 1, 2013, and the final unpaid principal amount of $60.0 thousand, together with  all accrued and unpaid interest, charges, fees, or other advances, if any, is to be paid on November 1, 2018. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Term Note was $2.9 million. With respect to the Line of Credit Note, WESSCO may request advances up to $1.0 million for twelve (12) months after the effective date of the Line of Credit Note (the "Draw Period").  Advances are limited to eighty percent (80%) of the purchase price for equipment.  Advances made to WESSCO that have been repaid may be re-borrowed during the Draw Period. During the Draw Period, interest-only payments in the amount of all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Line of Credit Note must be made monthly. The total of all advances, less any repayments, through the end of the Draw Period, will equal the principal balance of the Line of Credit Note, and no further advances may be made after the Draw Period.  At the conclusion of the Draw Period, the principal and interest is payable in sixty (60) monthly installments commencing on the first day of the month immediately following the end of the Draw Period. Any unpaid principal amount due, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, charges, fees, or other advances, if any, must be paid by October 14, 2019. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Line of Credit Note was $307.7 thousand.

WESSCO cannot make demand for payment of the Company Note before December 31, 2016. In connection with these transactions, WESSCO paid loan fees totaling $20.0 thousand and other customary fees.
The Sixth Amendment extended the maturity date of both the revolving credit facility and the term loan from October 31, 2013 to April 30, 2014. The Sixth Amendment also provided a waiver of the ratio of debt to adjusted EBITDA for the preceding twelve months (the "Senior Leverage Ratio") and the ratio of adjusted EBITDA for the preceding twelve months to aggregate cash payments of interest expense and scheduled payment of principal in the preceding twelve months (the "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio") covenant defaults for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. The Sixth Amendment eliminated the Senior Leverage Ratio for the remaining term of the loan. The Sixth Amendment reduced our covenant to maintain the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to 0.6 to 1.0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This ratio was calculated using a trailing 3-month basis for that quarter. Beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement returned to 1.20 to 1.0 and was tested on a trailing 12-month basis as of each quarter end date. The Sixth Amendment increased our interest rate on both the revolving credit facility and term loan by 1.75% and 1.50%, respectively, to equal the one month LIBOR plus five hundred basis points (5.00%) per annum, adjusted monthly on the first day of each month. For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Sixth Amendment required a Minimum Liquidity Covenant of at least $3.0 million. The Sixth Amendment decreased the eligible inventory available for calculating the borrowing base effective April 1, 2013 to 57.5% of eligible inventory up to $12.5 million, and then to 55.0% of eligible inventory up to $12.5 million effective June 18, 2013 upon the delivery of the May 31, 2013 borrowing base certificate.
The Fifth Amendment decreased our maximum revolving commitment by $5.0 million to $25.0 million and provided a waiver of the Senior Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant defaults for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

The Fourth Amendment decreased our maximum revolving commitment by $10.0 million to $30.0 million and extended the maturity date of both the revolving credit facility and the term loan from July 31, 2013 to October 31, 2013. The Fourth Amendment also provided a waiver of the Senior Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant defaults for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The Fourth Amendment also changed our covenant to maintain the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio from not less than 1.20 to 1 to not less than 1.0 to 1 for the third quarter of 2012, and to not less than 1.50 to 1 for the fourth quarter of 2012. The Fourth Amendment also increased the interest rate for both the revolving credit facility and the term loan by fifty basis points (0.50%) to 3.50% and 3.75%, respectively.
The Third Amendment redefined the calculation period for the purpose of measuring compliance with our Senior Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio such that each ratio would be calculated quarterly for the period beginning January 1, 2012 through the end of each quarter of 2012. Prior to the Third Amendment, the ratios were calculated on a rolling 12-month basis. The Third Amendment also changed the Senior Leverage Ratio. The Third Amendment also increased the unused line fee by 0.25% to 0.75% and provided a waiver of the Senior Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant defaults for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
The First Amendment (i) increased the maximum revolving commitment and the maximum amount of eligible inventory advances in the calculation of the borrowing base, (ii) changed the due date of the first excess cash flow payment to April 30, 2012, and (iii) amended certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement and certain of the other loan documents. Under the April Amendment, the Company was permitted to borrow the lesser of $45.0 million (the "Maximum Revolving Commitment") or the borrowing base, consisting of the sum of 85% of eligible accounts plus 60% of eligible inventory up to $18.0 million. The Second Amendment decreased our Maximum Revolving Commitment to $40.0 million.
Under the original Credit Agreement, we were permitted to borrow via a revolving credit facility the lesser of $40.0 million or the borrowing base, consisting of the sum of 85% of eligible accounts plus 60% of eligible inventory up to $17.0 million. Eligible accounts are generally those receivables that are less than ninety days from the invoice date. As security for the revolving credit facility, we provided the Bank a first priority security interest in the accounts receivable from most of our customers and in our inventory. We also cross collateralized the revolving line of credit with an $8.8 million term loan, entered into to replace several notes payable with another bank. Proceeds of the original revolving credit facility in the amount of $33.4 million were used to repay the outstanding principal balance of the prior obligations with another bank. We used additional proceeds of the revolving credit facility to pay closing costs and for funding temporary fluctuations in accounts receivable of most of our customers and inventory.
With respect to the revolving credit facility, the interest rate at December 31, 2013 was one month LIBOR plus five hundred basis points (5.00%) per annum, adjusted monthly on the first day of each month. As of December 31, 2013, the interest rate was 5.25%. We also paid a fee of 0.75% on the unused portion. Under the Seventh Amendment the revolving credit facility expires on July 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit was $13.3 million.
Beginning with the Sixth Amendment, the original $8.8 million term loan provides for an interest rate that is equal to the interest rate for the revolving credit facility and was 5.25% as of December 31, 2013. Principal and interest is payable monthly, originally in 36 consecutive installments of approximately $125.0 thousand. The first such payment commenced September 1, 2010 and continued through February 2014. The Seventh Amendment then changed the payment schedule as described above. In addition, the term loan agreement provides that we are to make an annual payment equal to 25% of (i) our adjusted EBITDA, minus (ii) our aggregate cash payments of interest expense and scheduled payments of principal (including any prepayments of the term loan), minus (iii) any non-financed capital expenditures, in each case for the Company’s prior fiscal year. Based on 2013 operating results, no annual payment will be required in 2014 for the 2013 fiscal year. The next annual payment will be due on April 30, 2015 (or earlier, upon completion of the Companies' financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014). Any such payments will be applied to remaining installments of principal under the term loan in the inverse order of maturity and to accrued but unpaid interest thereon. As security for the term loan, we provided the Bank a first priority security interest in all equipment other than the rental fleet that we own. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the term loan was $1.5 million.
In addition, we provided a first mortgage on the property at the following locations: 3409 Campground Road, 6709, 7023, 7025, 7101, 7103, 7110, 7124, 7200 and 7210 Grade Lane, Louisville Kentucky, 1565 East Fourth Street, Seymour, Indiana and 1617 State Road 111, New Albany, Indiana. The Company also cross collateralized the term loan with the revolving credit facility and all other existing debt the Company owes to the Bank.
In our original Credit Agreement with the Bank, we agreed to certain covenants, including (i) maintenance of the Senior Leverage Ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1 (or, if measured as of December 31 of any fiscal year, 4.0 to 1), (ii) maintenance of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1, and (iii) a limitation on capital expenditures of $4.0 million in any fiscal year. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Senior Leverage Ratio increased to 4.25 to 1 for the period ended March 31, 2012. The Senior Leverage Ratio decreased to 3.50 to 1 for the period ended June 30, 2012. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the Senior Leverage Ratio increased to 4.75 to 1 for the period ended September 30, 2012 and decreased to 3.25 to 1 for the period ended December 31, 2012. The Senior Leverage Ratio was eliminated after December 31, 2013 by the Sixth Amendment. In 2012, the Senior Leverage Ratio was, in each quarter, calculated using a measurement period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending at the end of the quarterly measurement period. The Sixth Amendment reduced the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirements and added a Minimum Liquidity Covenant requirement, as noted above. The Seventh Amendment decreased our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, decreased the limitation on capital expenditures, added Minimum Liquidity Covenant requirements and added Minimum EBITDA requirements, as noted above.
As of December 31, 2013, we were not in compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage ratio for the quarter due to insufficient earnings. As of December 31, 2013, our ratio of adjusted EBITDA to aggregate cash payments of interest expense and scheduled principal payments was (0.58) and our capital expenditures totaled $1.1 million. As of December 31, 2013, we have $1.1 million under our existing credit facilities that we can use based on the bank waiver received.
On April 12, 2011, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with the Bank pursuant to which the Bank agreed to provide the Company with a Promissory Note (the “April Note”) in the amount of $226.9 thousand for the purpose of purchasing operating equipment. The interest rate is 5.68% per annum. Principal and interest is payable in 48 equal monthly installments of $5.3 thousand, each due on the 20th day of each calendar month. Payment commenced on the 20th day of May, 2011, and the entire unpaid principal amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, charges, fees or other advances, if any, comes due on or before April 20, 2015. As security for the April Note, we granted the Bank a first priority security interest in the equipment purchased with the proceeds of the April Note. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of the April Note was $75.3 thousand.
On August 9, 2011, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “August Agreement”) with the Bank pursuant to which the Bank agreed to loan the Company funds pursuant to a Promissory Note (the “August Note”) in the amount of $115.0 thousand for the purpose of purchasing operating equipment. The interest rate is 5.95% per annum. Principal and interest is payable in 48 equal monthly installments of $2.7 thousand. The first such payment commenced on September 12, 2011, and the entire unpaid principal amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, charges, fees or other advances, if any, becomes due no later than August 12, 2015. As security for the August Note, we granted the Bank a first priority security interest in the equipment purchased with the proceeds of the Note. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of the August Note was $51.3 thousand.
On October 19, 2010, we entered into a Promissory Note (the “October Note”) with the Bank in the amount of $1.3 million for the purpose of purchasing equipment. The interest rate is 5.20% per annum. Principal and interest is payable in 48 equal monthly installments of $30.5 thousand with the first such payment commencing November 15, 2010, and the final unpaid principal amount due, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, charges, fees, or other advances, if any, to be paid on October 15, 2014. As security for the October Note, we provided the Bank a first priority security interest in the equipment purchased with the proceeds. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the October Note was $297.9 thousand.
In previous years, we entered into three interest rate swap agreements with BB&T swapping variable rates based on LIBOR for fixed rates. The first swap agreement covers approximately $3.6 million in debt and commenced April 7, 2009 and matures on April 7, 2014. The second swap agreement commenced October 15, 2008 and no longer covers any debt as it matured on May 7, 2013. The third swap agreement commenced October 22, 2008 and no longer covers any debt as it matured on October 22, 2013. The one remaining swap agreement with BB&T fixes our interest rate at 5.89%. At December 31, 2013, we recorded the estimated fair value of the liability related to the remaining swap at approximately $49.1 thousand. We maintain a cash account on deposit with BB&T which serves as collateral for the swap agreement. As of December 31, 2013, the balance in this account was $75.6 thousand.
In October 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with KY Bank swapping a variable rate based on LIBOR for a fixed rate. This swap agreement covers approximately $2.9 million in debt, commenced October 17, 2013 and matures on October 1, 2018. The swap agreement fixes our interest rate at 4.74%. At December 31, 2013, we recorded the estimated fair value of the liability related to this swap at approximately $22.2 thousand.
We entered into the swap agreements for the purpose of hedging the interest rate market risk for the respective notional amounts and forecasted amounts. See Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Derivative and Hedging Activities” for additional information about these derivative instruments.
