terms of repayment of the $8.5 million originally due on February 28, 2022 until February 28, 2023 and waive and/or otherwise extend compliance with certain other terms of the Credit Agreement in order to allow the Loan Parties adequate time to comply with such terms. In July 2022, the Company and Whitehawk agreed that the notice had inadvertently included the default with respect to the failure to repay $8.5 million of the facility. As a result, notwithstanding the notice, both WhiteHawk and the Company have agreed that the Company was not in default in making the February 2022 Payment to WhiteHawk.
The principal elements of the April amendment included (a) an extension of time to repay $8.5 million of the principal amount of the term loan from February 28, 2022 to February 28, 2023, and (b) forbearance on $3,500,000 in over advances until May 16, 2022 to allow the Company to come into compliance with the borrowing base requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement. In such connection, the Loan Parties have obtained credit insurance on certain key customers whose principal offices are located in the European Union and Australia as, without the credit insurance, their accounts owed to the Loan Parties had been deemed ineligible for inclusion in the borrowing base calculation primarily due to the perceived inability of the Collateral Agent to enforce security interests on such accounts. In addition, the Lender and Collateral Agent agreed to (i) reduce, through June 30, 2022, the minimum cash reserve requirement for the Loan Parties, (ii) reduce the interest rate by 50 basis points (to Libor plus+ 9.75%) after delivery of the Loan Parties’ June 30, 2023 financial statements, subject to the Loan Parties maintaining 1.75 EBITDA coverage ratio, and (iii) waive all prior Events of Default under the Credit Agreement. In conjunction with the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the parties entered into an amended and restated fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to prepayment premiums of (i) 5% for payments made on or before December 31, 2022, (ii) 4% for payments made between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023, and (iii) 2% for payments made between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2025 a. Furthermore, the parties agreed that no prepayment premiums would be payable with respect to the first $5.0 million paid under the Term Loan, any payments made in relation to the $8.5 million due on or before February 28, 2023, any required amortization payments under the Credit Agreement and any mandatory prepayments by way of ECF or casualty events.
On June 21, 2022, the Company and substantially all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”), entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the four year term loan credit facility, originally entered into December 31, 2021 and as amended on April 4, 2022 (the “Credit Agreement”), with the Collateral Agent and Lender.
The Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement was entered into for purposes of the Lender funding a $2.5 million delayed draw term loan and adjusting certain terms to the Credit Agreement, including adjusting the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Second Amendment) to 13.25% for LIBOR Rate Loans and 12.25% for Reference Rate Loans, increasing the definition of change of control from 33% voting power to 40% voting power, requiring the Company to engage a financial advisor, and allowing additional time, until July 15, 2022, for the Company to come into compliance with certain borrowing base requirements set forth in the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, among other adjustments.
During the six-month period ending June 30, 2022, the Company repaid principal of $1.3 million and interest of $3.6 million to Whitehawk.
