8. Credit Facilities

In July 2013, we entered into a $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility through newly-created, wholly-owned special purpose subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”). The terms of the credit facility are set forth in the Loan Agreement (G&I) (the “G&I Loan Agreement”) and the Loan Agreement (PF) and related amendments as described below (the “PF Loan Agreement”, and together with the G&I Loan Agreement, the “Loan Agreements”).

Since that time, we have entered into a number of amendments intended to increase the flexibility and borrowing capability of the credit facility as described below:

We have guaranteed the obligations of the Borrowers under each of the Loan Agreements pursuant to (x) a Continuing Guaranty, dated July 19, 2013, and (y) a Limited Guaranty, dated July 19, 2013. As part of our August and December 2014 amendments, we entered into amended and restated versions of these guaranties.

The Loan Agreements, as amended, provide for senior secured revolving credit facilities with total maximum advances of $1.35 billion (i) in the case of the G&I Loan Agreement, in the principal amount of $125 million to be used to leverage certain qualifying government and institutional financings entered into by us, with maximum total advances (without giving effect to prepayments or repayments) of $375 million, and (ii) in the case of the PF Loan Agreement, in the principal amount of $325 million to be used to leverage certain qualifying project financings entered into by us, with maximum total advances (without giving effect to prepayments or repayments) of $975 million. The scheduled termination date of each of the Loan Agreements is July 19, 2019. Loans under the G&I Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.50% or, under certain circumstances, the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.50%. Loans under the PF Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.50% or, under certain circumstances, the Federal Funds Rate plus 2.50%, or a specifically negotiated rate on certain loans as approved by the administrative agent. Under the PF Loan Agreement, we also have the option to borrow at a fixed rate of interest until the expiration of the credit facility in July 2019. The fixed rate is determined by agreement with the Administrative Agent and is based on the prevailing US SWAP rate of an equivalent term to the average-life of the fixed rate portion of the borrowing plus an agreed upon margin.

Any financing we propose to be included in the borrowing base as collateral under the Loan Agreements is subject to the approval of the administrative agent in its sole discretion. As part of the December 2014 amendment, we agreed to pay a placement fee of $20,000 for each financing added to the borrowing base after the date of the amendment. The amount eligible to be drawn under the Loan Agreements for purposes of financing such investments will be based on a discount to the value of each investment or an applicable valuation percentage. Under the G&I Loan Agreement, the applicable valuation percentage for non-delinquent investments is 80% in the case of a U.S. federal government obligor, 75% in the case of an institutional obligor or a state and local obligor, and with respect to other obligors or in certain circumstances, such other percentage as the administrative agent may prescribe. Under the PF Loan Agreement, the applicable valuation percentage is 67% or such other percentage as the administrative agent may prescribe. The sum of approved financings after taking into account the valuation percentages and any changes in the valuation of the financings in accordance with the Loan Agreements determines the borrowing capacity, subject to the overall facility limits described above.

We had outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities of $315.7 million and $77.1 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We pledged $422.4 million and $114.3 million of financing receivables as collateral for the credit facility as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The weighted average short-term borrowing rate of our credit facilities was 2.4% and 2.6% as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We incurred approximately $10.8 million of costs associated with the Loan Agreements that have been capitalized (included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets) and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Loan Agreements. On each monthly payment date, the Borrowers shall also pay to the administrative agent, for the benefit of the lenders, certain availability fees for each Loan Agreement equal to 0.50%, divided by 360, multiplied by the excess of the available borrowing capacity under each Loan Agreement over the actual amount borrowed under such Loan Agreement.

Each Loan Agreement contains terms, conditions, covenants, and representations and warranties that are customary and typical for a transaction of this nature. The Loan Agreements contain various affirmative and negative covenants, and limitations on the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, investments, fundamental organizational changes, dispositions, changes in the nature of business, transactions with affiliates, use of proceeds and stock repurchases.

Each Loan Agreement also includes customary events of default, including the existence of a default in more than 50% of underlying financings. The occurrence of an event of default may result in termination of the Loan Agreements, acceleration of amounts due under both Loan Agreements, and accrual of default interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50% in the case of the G&I Loan Agreement and at a rate of LIBOR plus 5.00% in the case of the PF Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreements require that we maintain the following financial covenants:

We were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Loan Agreements at each reporting date that such covenants were applicable.

We repaid our Predecessor’s credit facility and a related interest rate swap and cap in April 2013 from the proceeds of the IPO. The facility had a balance of $4.6 million as of September 30, 2012. Interest paid under the facility was $0.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2012.
