Table 9.2: Future Minimum Principal Payments Due Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreements Amount Due (in thousands) July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 $ 1,368 2018 2,736 2019 2,736 2020 2,736 2021 2,736 Thereafter 259,945 Total Payments $ 272,257 Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain covenants, including among others, the limitation of indebtedness, limitation on liens, and limitations on certain cash distributions. One single financial covenant governs all of the Company’s debt and only applies if the outstanding borrowings of the Revolver plus outstanding letters of credit are greater than $22.5 million as of the end of the quarter. The financial covenant is a total leverage ratio calculation, in which total debt less outstanding cash is divided by adjusted earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization. As the sum of outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and outstanding letters of credit were less than $22.5 million at June 30, 2017 , the total leverage ratio of no greater than 5.0 under the financial covenant was not applicable at June 30, 2017 . |
