Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On May 12, 2014, the Company entered into an $85 million senior secured credit facilities ("the Facilities") with JP Morgan Chase ("Chase") which included a $10 million revolving credit facility and a $75 million four-year term loan. The facilities were utilized to refinance the existing term debt with Chase, fund the acquisition of LCA and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Interest is determined at Eurodollar plus a margin between 3.25% and 4.50%. The margin is updated quarterly based on the then-current leverage ratio. The facilities are secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on all assets of the Company. All current and future subsidiaries are guarantors on the facilities. There are financial covenants including; a maximum leverage covenant and a minimum fixed charge covenant, which the Company was required to maintain. These covenants will be determined quarterly based on a rolling past four quarters of financial data. As of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, the Company continued to fail to meet both financial covenants and is in default of the credit facilities
On August 4, 2014, the Company received a notice of default and a reservation of rights from Chase and engaged a third-party independent advisor to assist the Company in negotiating a longer term solution to the defaults. The parties had entered into an initial Forbearance Agreement (the "Initial Forbearance Agreement") on August 25, 2014. On November 4, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement (the "Amended Forbearance Agreement") with the lenders that are parties to the Credit Agreement and with Chase, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders.
Effective February 28, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement (the "Second Amended Forbearance Agreement") with the lenders (the "Lenders") that are parties to the Credit Agreement dated May 12, 2014, and with JP Morgan Chase, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders.
Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Events of Default from August 25, 2014 until April 1, 2016, or earlier if an event of default occurs (the "Forbearance Period"). Chase and the Lenders agreed that the Company shall not be obligated to pay the principal amounts set forth in Section 2.08(b) of the Credit Agreement for any date identified therein during the period beginning on February 28, 2015 and ending on the end of the Forbearance Period (the "Effective Period"), and that any failure to do so shall not constitute a default or event of default. Instead, the Lenders and the Company agreed that the Company would make prepayments against the Term Loan of $250,000 on the first business day of each month during the Forbearance Period, which will be applied in direct order of maturity. The Company also agreed that, on or before the fifth calendar day of each month, the Company would pay against the Term Loan $125,000 to the extent that the cash-on-hand exceeds $5 million, and 100% of the cash-on-hand in excess of $7 million, also to be applied to the Term Loan in inverse order of maturity. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company paid $36,482 of principal payments on the loan.
Under the provisions of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, the Company will not have to comply with certain financial covenants contained in Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement for the Forbearance Period, and that any failure to do so shall not constitute a default or event of default. However, the Company will have to meet certain minimum EBITDA targets (as defined in the forbearance agreement) for the quarters ending March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. The Company has met the EBITDA target as of March 31, 2015.
Pursuant to the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, all loans under the Facilities shall, beginning November 1, 2014, bear interest at the CB Floating Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 4.00%. Additionally, following the occurrence and continuance of any default or event of default (other than a Specified Event of Default), the Company's obligations under the Facilities shall, at the option of Chase and the Lenders, bear interest at the rate of 2.00% plus the rate otherwise in effect.
The Company and its subsidiaries have also agreed not to pay in cash any compensation to either the Company's Chief Executive Officer or President that is based on a percentage of sales or another metric other than those officer's base salary, perquisites and standard benefits provided to or on behalf of those executives under the terms of their employment agreements. Those payments may be accrued or deferred and paid in cash only after the repayment of the Facilities in full.
The Company has agreed to provide, on or before May 29, 2015, a strategic business plan for the overall direction of the Company's and its subsidiaries' businesses, including projected income statements, balance sheets, schedules of cash receipts and cash disbursements, payments and month-end balances, and detailed notes and assumptions, projected on a monthly basis through April 1, 2016. The Company has also agreed to provide quarterly updates to that plan by August 31, 2015, November 30, 2015 and February 29, 2016.
The Company continues to retain the services of both Getzler Henrich & Assoc. LLC, a third-party independent business advisor, as well as Canaccord Genuity, Inc., a banking and financial services company, and has also retained the services of Nomura Securities International, Inc., also a banking and financial services company. During the Forbearance Agreement, the Company and these advisors will continue to prepare and distribute offering memoranda and other marketing materials to prospective lenders with regard to a proposed credit facility for the Company, the proceeds of which would be in an amount sufficient to repay in full and in cash the Company's remaining obligations under the Facilities, and to explore other strategic alternatives. The closing of any such refinancing or alternative arrangement would occur no later than the end of the Forbearance Period.
The Company agreed to limit certain capital expenditures to $100,000 per quarter, except for those involving the Company's XTRAC ® or VTRAC ®  medical devices, and will not make investments or acquire any other interests in affiliated companies except as agreed to by the Lenders.
As consideration for the Lender's entry into the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Lenders certain forbearance fees (the "Forbearance Fees"), which are payable on the last business day of each of the specified months: for May and June 2015, $750,000 each month; for July through September 2015, $1,000,000 each month; for October through December 2015, $1,250,000 each month; and for January through March 2016, $1,500,000 each month. However, should the Company complete a capital transaction acceptable to the Lenders that reduces the then-outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan to less than $10 million and repays all Forbearance Fees accrued and unpaid to that date, the monthly Forbearance Fee for the remainder of the Forbearance Period shall be earned and accrued in an amount that is 50% of the amount specified for each of the remaining months. In addition, the $500,000 Forbearance Fee set forth in Section 4.10(b) of the Amended Forbearance Agreement remains due and payable to the Lenders on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the Termination Date of the Forbearance Period. All Forbearance Fees are considered earned and are included in the Obligations under the Credit Agreement. The total Forbearance Fees are being expensed on a straight line basis over the term of the Second Amended Forbearance Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company expensed $1,481 of these forbearance fees.
The Second Amended Forbearance Agreement is also subject to customary covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of or payments on indebtedness to other persons or entities and requirements that the Company provide periodic financial information and information regarding the status of outstanding litigation involving the Company and its subsidiaries to the Lenders.
The following table summarizes the future minimum payments that the Company expects to make for long-term debt:
