DAMI Credit Facility

In connection with the October 15, 2015 acquisition of DAMI, the Company assumed the loan and security agreement, dated as of May 18, 2011 (as amended), which provides for a secured revolving credit facility in an amount not to exceed $85.0 million in outstanding principal balance (the "DAMI credit facility"). In addition, the loan and security agreement includes an uncommitted incremental facility increase option (an "accordion facility") which, subject to certain terms and conditions, permits DAMI at any time prior to the maturity date to request an increase in extensions of credit available thereunder by an aggregate additional principal amount of up to $25.0 million.

On June 30, 2016, DAMI, and HC Recovery, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DAMI, entered into the twelfth amendment (the "Twelfth Amendment") to the DAMI credit facility. The Twelfth Amendment amends the DAMI credit facility to, among other things, (i) remove the financial covenant that requires DAMI to maintain a certain earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio, (ii) include a financial covenant that requires DAMI to meet certain trailing twelve month and fiscal quarter EBITDA thresholds, (iii) include a minimum tangible net worth requirement for DAMI, and (iv) include a financial covenant that DAMI shall maintain a monthly Cash Collection Percentage (as defined in the DAMI credit facility) of greater than or equal to 5.0%. The Twelfth Amendment also amends the definition of "Permitted Indebtedness" in the DAMI credit facility to include non-interest bearing debt owed to the Company and certain of its affiliates under certain circumstances.

The DAMI credit facility includes financial covenants that, among other things, require DAMI to maintain a senior debt to capital base ratio of not more than 2.0 to 1.0. Furthermore, the DAMI credit facility restricts DAMI's ability to transfer funds by limiting intercompany dividends to an amount not to exceed the amount of capital the Company has invested in DAMI. The aggregate amount of such dividends made in a calendar year are limited to 75% of DAMI's net income for the immediately preceding calendar year. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants, the Company will be in default under these agreements, and all amounts could become due immediately. The Company is in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2016.

As amended, borrowings under the DAMI credit facility bear interest at 4.375% plus one-month LIBOR, provided that the applicable margin will increase by 0.25% if Monthly Excess Availability (as defined in the DAMI credit facility) is less than 20%. The interest rate for secured revolving credit borrowings as of December 31, 2016 was 5.00%. As of December 31, 2016, $7.6 million was available for borrowing under the DAMI credit facility.

The DAMI credit facility is currently set to mature on October 15, 2017 and contains representations, warranties and covenants consistent with those of other facilities of similar size and type. Collateral under the loan and security agreement is limited to the assets and operations of DAMI.

DAMI pays a non-refundable monthly unused line fee on the line of credit which ranges from 0.5% to 0.75% as determined by DAMI's average daily unused commitments.

Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan

The revolving credit and term loan agreement, which expires December 9, 2019, permits the Company to borrow, subject to certain terms and conditions, on an unsecured basis up to $225.0 million in revolving loans. The revolving credit and term loan agreement also provides for an accordion facility that permits the Company at any time prior to the maturity date to request an increase in credit extensions thereunder (whether through additional term loans and/or revolving credit commitments or any combination thereof) by an aggregate additional principal amount of up to $200.0 million, with such additional credit extensions provided by one or more lenders thereunder at their sole discretion.

The revolving credit borrowings and term loans bear interest at the lower of the lender's prime rate or one-month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% as determined by the Company's ratio of total debt to EBITDA, and interest is payable quarterly. The interest rate for revolving credit borrowings and term loans outstanding as of December 31, 2016 was 2.52%. For the term loan facility, as amended, installment payments of $3.1 million commenced on December 31, 2014 and are due quarterly, with the remaining unpaid principal balance due at maturity on December 9, 2019.

The Company pays a commitment fee on unused balances, which ranges from 0.15% to 0.30% as determined by the Company's ratio of total debt to EBITDA. As of December 31, 2016, $225.0 million was available for borrowings under the revolving credit agreement.

The revolving credit and term loan agreement, senior unsecured notes discussed below and franchise loan program discussed in Note 9 contain financial covenants. These covenants include requirements that the Company maintain ratios of (i) EBITDA plus lease expense to fixed charges of no less than 2.00 to 1.00 and (ii) total debt to EBITDA of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00. In each case, EBITDA refers to the Company’s consolidated net income before interest and tax expense, depreciation (other than lease merchandise depreciation), amortization expense and other non-cash charges, and it excludes the results of DAMI.

If the Company fails to comply with these covenants, the Company will be in default under these agreements, and all amounts could become due immediately. Under the Company’s revolving credit and term loan agreement, senior unsecured notes and franchise loan program, the Company may pay cash dividends in any year so long as, after giving pro forma effect to the dividend payment, the Company maintains compliance with its financial covenants and no event of default has occurred or would result from the payment.

At December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the revolving credit and term loan agreement, senior unsecured notes and franchise loan program.

Pursuant to the note purchase agreement dated as of July 5, 2011, as amended, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as co-obligors previously issued $125.0 million in senior unsecured notes to the purchasers in a private placement.

On April 14, 2014, the Company entered into the third amendment which revised the 2011 note purchase agreement to, among other things, replace the interest rate of 3.75% per year with an interest rate of 3.95% commencing April 28, 2014, conform the covenants, representations, warranties and events of default to the changes reflected in the revolving credit and term loan agreement, to contemplate the acquisition of Progressive and to authorize the new 2014 senior unsecured notes.

Payments of interest are due quarterly, commencing July 14, 2014, with principal payments of $60.0 million each due annually commencing April 14, 2017.

On September 21, 2015, the Company entered into the fifth amendment to the 2011 note purchase agreement and the second amendment to the 2014 note purchase agreements to, among other things, exclude DAMI financial information from the calculation of financial debt covenants.
