Our long-term debt is comprised of our Term A Loan and our Term B Loan, which we collectively refer to as our “Term A and B Loans”. On November 5, 2013 we amended the credit agreements for the Term A and B Loans (the “Amendment”). The Amendment extends the maturity dates of our Term A and B Loans to August 31, 2016, and also provides that the Term A and B Loans each bear interest in cash at 9.0% per annum payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, the Amendment provides us with greater flexibility to sell assets and use the resulting proceeds for purposes other than repaying the Term A and B Loans after repayment of our 2014 Debentures.
Upon the occurrence of certain change in control events, the holders of the Term A and B Loans may require us to redeem all or a portion of the loans at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
We have the right to optionally prepay the Term A and B Loans in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, subject to the payment of a prepayment fee. The prepayment fee is 3% for prepayments made on or after October 30, 2014 but prior to October 30, 2015, and 2% for prepayment made on or after October 30, 2015. We are required to maintain an unrestricted cash balance of $8.0 million and achieve minimum quarterly revenues of $10.0 million. The Term A and B Loans are collateralized by substantially all of our assets.
The credit agreement for the Term A and B Loans provided the lenders with the right to convert the Term B Loan into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $4.95 per share through October 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Term B Loan would have resulted in the issuance of 1.9 million shares of common stock. On October 31, 2014, the conversion right expired unexercised.
In connection with Amendment, we paid the lenders a consent fee of $0.3 million and we repurchased $13.7 million principal amount of our 2014 Debentures at 107% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million due to the repurchase. After this transaction, $32.8 million principal amount of 2014 Debentures remained outstanding.
As of September 30, 2014, our current debt consisted of our 2014 Debentures. During fiscal year 2014, cash of $0.7 million was restricted for payment of the 2014 Debentures under the terms of the indenture following the sale of assets. At September 30, 2014, conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the 2014 Debentures would have resulted in the issuance of 7.3 million shares of common stock. We repaid the outstanding principal of $32.8 million of our 2014 Debentures, plus accrued interest, on October 30, 2014, the maturity date of the debentures.
The compound embedded derivative related to the 2014 Debentures, which expired October 30, 2012, was comprised of the conversion option and a make-whole payment for foregone interest if the holder converted the debenture early. Upon expiration of the make-whole payment for forgone interest, the compound embedded derivative no longer met the criteria for bifurcation as all components of the conversion feature were indexed to our own stock. A final valuation was completed on October 30, 2012. We recorded a gain of $0.8 million into earnings due to the change in value and reclassified the final liability value of $2.1 million, from other long-term liabilities, to equity.
The credit agreement for the Term A and B Loans provide for customary restrictions and limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness and liens on property, make restricted payments or investments, enter into mergers or consolidations, conduct asset sales, pay dividends or distributions and enter into specified transactions and activities, and also contain other customary default provisions. We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2014.
