Credit Agreement
On June 18, 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Credit Agreement”). On May 31, 2022 the Company executed an amended and restated Credit Agreement (the “First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) to extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement on substantially the same terms and conditions as the original credit facility. The First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for
a $60.0 
million principal amount senior secured revolving credit facility that is guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Credit Facility”), which was scheduled to mature on August 1, 2022. Prior to the maturity date, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement principally on the same terms, to further extend the maturity date to June 1, 2025. Refer to Note 13 – “
Subsequent Events”
for additional information.
The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the Credit Facility until its maturity date, at which time all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility must be repaid in full. 
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are available for general corporate purposes and working capital. The Credit Facility includes a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit of which $533,000 was utilized at June 30, 2022. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at the Daily Simple SOFR rate plus a spread of between 1.00% to 1.25% depending on the Company’s total funded debt to EBITDA as defined in the Credit Agreement. In connection with the amendments of the Credit Agreement, the Company paid bank fees and other expenses,
 
which
 
are being amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. The Company pays a commitment fee of up t
o 0.1%
per annum, payable quarterly, based on the amount of unutilized commitments under the Credit Facility. The amortization and commitment fee is included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income and wa
s $22,000 and $20,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $47,000 and $44,000,
respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. As of June 30, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including financial and other covenant reporting requirements and events of default. Financial covenants require the Company, on a combined basis with its guarantors, to maintain (i) an EBITDAR Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.25:1.0 as of each quarter end, determined on a rolling four-quarter basis, and (ii) total funded debt to EBITDA not greater than 2.0:1.0 as of each quarter end, determined on a rolling four-quarter basis, and also limits investments in foreign entities and certain other loans. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company, including pledges of 100% of the stock or other equity interest of each subsidiary except for the capital stock of a controlled foreign corporation (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), in which case no such pledge is required. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all financial and
non-financial
covenants and has not experienced any limitation in its operations as a result of the covenants.
Strategic Alliance
The Company, in connection with the Strategic Alliance with MTRCC, has agreed to provide loan opportunities that may be funded through MTRCC’s agreement with Fannie Mae and which requires MTRCC to guarantee a portion of each funded loan. On
a loan-by-loan basis,
the Company, at its option, can indemnify a portion of MTRCC’s guarantee obligation of loan opportunities presented to and closed by MTRCC. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has agreed to a maximum aggregate guarantee obligation of $25.4 million relating to loans with an unpaid balance of $152.6 million. The maximum guarantee obligation is not representative of the actual loss the Company would incur. The Company would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans for which it is providing a guarantee to MTRCC were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement.
Other
In connection with certain agreements with investment sales and financing professionals, the Company may agree to advance amounts to such professionals upon reaching certain time and performance goals. Such commitments as of June 30, 2022 aggregated to $20.9 million.
