HealthMont of Missouri, LLC owns and operates Callaway Community Hospital (“Callaway”) in Fulton, Missouri. The Loan Agreement consists of a $4,000 term loan and $1,000 construction loan. The $4,000 term loan was drawn in its entirety at closing. As of March 31, 2013, $1,000 has been drawn on the $1,000 construction loan in connection with the construction and improvement projects described below.

The Callaway RDA Loan has a term of 25 years with monthly payments of principal and interest. The Callaway RDA Loan bears interest at a floating interest rate computed as the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 2% (5.25% at March 31, 2013). The Callaway RDA Loan is collateralized by Callaway’s real estate and equipment and is partially guaranteed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development Business and Industry Program. Of the Callaway RDA Loan proceeds, $3,250 was applied as payment against the Company’s then outstanding Credit Facility. Approximately $1,000 of the Callaway RDA Loan proceeds were used to finance improvements, including to provide an inpatient geriatric psychiatry unit and an emergency department upgrade, with the remainder of the Callaway RDA Loan proceeds used for working capital and closing costs. Drawn but unused loan proceeds of $254 are included on the balance sheet at March 31, 2013 as cash in escrow. The Callaway RDA Loan contains certain financial covenants with respect to the ratio of current assets to current liabilities and debt service coverage, all as defined in the Callaway RDA Loan Agreement and measured at the end of each fiscal year. The Callaway RDA Loan is guaranteed by HLLC and the Company.

Trace RDA Loan and Trace Working Capital Loan – On July 11, 2012, SunLink, MedCare South, LLC (formerly known as SunLink Healthcare, LLC) (“MedCare”) and Southern Health Corporation of Houston, Inc. (“SHCH”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, closed on a $9,975 Mortgage Loan Agreement dated as of July 5, 2012 (“Trace RDA Loan”) and up to a $1,000 Working Capital Loan Agreement dated as of July 5, 2012 (“Trace Working Capital Loan”) with a bank. SHCH owns and operates Trace Regional Hospital “Trace”) in Houston, Mississippi.

The Trace RDA Loan has a term of 15 years with monthly payments of principal and interest until repaid. The Trace RDA Loan bears a floating rate of interest equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 1.5%, or (ii) 6% (6.0% at March 31, 2013). The Trace RDA Loan is collateralized by Trace’s real estate and equipment and is partially guaranteed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development Business and Industry Program. Approximately $8,500 of the Trace RDA Loan proceeds was used to repay a portion of the Company’s senior debt under the Term Loan under the then outstanding Credit Facility. Approximately $850 of the Trace RDA Loan proceeds are being used for improvements to the hospital and its medical office building with the remainder of the loan proceeds used for working capital and closing costs. Drawn but unused loan proceeds of $381 are included on the balance sheet at March 31, 2013 as cash in escrow.

The Trace Working Capital Loan provides for a revolving line of credit to SHCH equal to the lesser of (i) a Borrowing Base equal to eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Accounts Receivable (as defined in the Working Capital Loan Agreement) or (ii) $1,000. At March 31, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Trace Working Capital Loan. Both the Trace RDA Loan and the Trace Working Capital Loan are guaranteed by the Company and SunLink Healthcare LLC (“SHL”), a wholly-owned intermediate holding company.

The Trace RDA Loan contains various terms and conditions, including financial restrictions and limitations, and affirmative and negative covenants. The covenants include financial covenants measured on a quarterly basis which require SHCH to meet a ratio of current assets to current liabilities, debt service coverage, fixed charge coverage, and funded debt to EBITDA, all as defined in the Trace RDA Loan. At December 31, 2012, SHCH was not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio. On May 14, 2013, the non-compliance was waived as part of the “Amendment and Waiver to Loan Agreement” between SHCH and the lender (“Amendments”) for each of the Trace RDA and Working Capital Loans. The Amendments also permanently modified certain financial covenants of the Loans. No action was taken by the lender as a result of this non-compliance under the Loans prior to the waiver being issued. At March 31, 2013, SHCH was in compliance with all the financial covenants of the loan. The ability of SHCH and the Company, respectively, to make the required debt service under the Trace RDA Loan or the guarantee depends on, among other things, the respective ability of SHCH and the Company to generate sufficient cash flows, including from operating activities. If SHCH or the Company are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet debt service or other financial covenants on the Trace RDA loan or the guarantee, including in the event the lender were to declare an event of default and accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness, such failure could have material adverse effects on the Company.

SHPP RDA Loan – On November 6, 2012, SunLink Healthcare Professional Property, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into and closed on a $2,100 term loan dated as of October 31, 2012 (the “SHPP RDA Loan”) with a bank. SHPP owns and leases a medical office building to Southern Health Corporation of Ellijay, Inc. (“SHC Ellijay”). SHC Ellijay owns and operates North Georgia Medical Center (“North Georgia”), located in Ellijay, Georgia.

The SHPP RDA Loan has a term of 25 years with monthly payments of principal and interest until repaid. The SHPP RDA Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 2.0%, or (ii) 5% (5.25% at March 31, 2013). The SHPP RDA Loan is collateralized by SHPP’s real estate, equipment and leases and is partially guaranteed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development Business and Industry Program. Of the SHPP RDA Loan proceeds, $1,800 was used by SHC Ellijay to acquire a medical office building in Ellijay, Georgia which was then sold to SHPP, with the remainder of the SHPP RDA Loan proceeds used by SHPP for working capital and closing costs. The SHPP RDA Loan contains certain financial covenants with respect to the ratio of current assets to current liabilities and debt service coverage, all as defined in the SHPP RDA Loan Agreement, which SHPP must maintain and that are measured at the end of each fiscal year. The SHPP RDA Loan is guaranteed by the Company and MedCare.
