The effective interest rate for 2014 and 2013 was 9.3% and 9.7%, respectively.

Covenants
The TD Bank credit facility is subject to certain financial covenants, which are customary for the type and size of the facility, including debt service coverage and debt to equity ratios. The debt to equity ratio restricts the amount of recourse debt the Company can incur based on a ratio of recourse debt to net worth.
The covenant for the mortgage on the Company's hotel property requires maintaining a minimum debt coverage ratio. Although non-recourse in nature, the loan is subject to limited standard exceptions (or “carveouts”) which the Company has guaranteed.  These carveouts will expire as the loan is paid down over the next ten years.  The Company has control over the operations of the underlying property, which mitigates the potential risk associated with these carveouts and, accordingly, no liabilities for these obligations have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.  To date, the Company has not been required to make any carveout payments.
The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of December 31, 2014.
