6. LONG-TERM DEBT

On March 21, 2012, the Company entered into a credit facility amendment (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides for an additional draw on its Term A Loan of $25,000 such that the outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loan was increased from $52,369 to $77,369. The incremental loan has the same terms and covenants as the existing senior credit facility. The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants including leverage ratios, fixed charge ratios, capital expenditures as well as other customary affirmative and negative covenants. Quarterly principal payments were increased from $131 to $194.

On March 21, 2012, the Company used the proceeds of the loan to pay a $2,000 termination payment to Goode Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”) to terminate its advisory agreement with the Company, $575 in estimated fees and expenses related to the incremental loan, and $22,474 to repurchase shares of the Company’s common and preferred stock. The shares were repurchased in a repurchase offer made to all stockholders of record of the Company as of March 8, 2012. Each stockholder was entitled to sell their pro rata share of the 1,655,662 shares being repurchased based on percentage ownership of the Company’s capital stock. Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the selling stockholders, each stockholder was also entitled to sell their pro rata share of the aggregate difference between the total number of shares being repurchased and the number of shares initially tendered. The stock repurchase closed on April 6, 2012.

In connection with the IPO, the Company used the proceeds from the offering to repay approximately $79.4 million of the Company’s loans outstanding under the Company’s credit facility.

As a result of the repayment of outstanding loans with the proceeds from the offering, the Company recorded an expense of $1.6 million to write off the unamortized loan origination fees related to the portion of long term debt that was repaid. The Company will continue to amortize the remaining $100 of loan origination costs over the remaining term of the credit agreement.
