9. Related-party arrangements

In October 2007, the Company entered into a $350.0 million loan arrangement with its principal stockholder. In February 2009, the promissory note underlying the loan arrangement was revised as a result of the Company’s principal stockholder being subject to the licensing requirement under the California Finance Lenders Law. Accordingly, the lender was changed to The Mann Group. Until January 1, 2013, interest on outstanding principal amounts accrued at a fixed rate equal to the one-year LIBOR as reported by the Wall Street Journal on the date of such advance plus 3% per annum. The promissory note underlying the loan arrangement was amended at various dates during 2012. The most recent amendment occurred in October 2012 to extend the maturity date to January 1, 2014, extend the date through which the Company can borrow under the promissory note to September 30, 2013, and adjust the annual interest rate on all outstanding principal to the one-year LIBOR on December 31, 2012 plus 5%. Effective January 1, 2013, the borrowing rate for all borrowings under the promissory note with The Mann Group was set at 5.84%.

As of June 30, 2013, the total principal amount outstanding under the credit facility was $119.6 million, and the amount available for future borrowings was $125.4 million. Interest is due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter for the preceding quarter, or at such other time as the Company and The Mann Group mutually agree. All or any portion of accrued and unpaid interest that becomes due and payable may be paid-in-kind and capitalized at any time upon mutual agreement of both parties. The Mann Group can require the Company to prepay up to $200.0 million in advances that have been outstanding for at least 12 months. If The Mann Group exercises this right, the Company will have 90 days after The Mann Group provides written notice (or the number of days to maturity of the note if less than 90 days) to prepay such advances (see discussion regarding letter agreement below).

In August 2010, the Company entered into a letter agreement confirming a previous commitment by The Mann Group to not require the Company to prepay amounts outstanding under the amended and restated promissory note if the prepayment would require the Company to use its working capital resources. In the event of a default, all unpaid principal and interest either becomes immediately due and payable or may be accelerated at The Mann Group’s option, and the interest rate will increase to the one-year LIBOR calculated on the date of the initial advance or in effect on the date of default, whichever is greater, plus 5% per annum. All borrowings under the loan arrangement are unsecured. The loan arrangement contains no financial covenants. There are no warrants associated with the loan arrangement.

In February 2012, concurrent with an the underwritten public offering (see Note 7 — Common and preferred stock), pursuant to The Mann Group Common Stock Purchase Agreement, The Mann Group agreed to purchase $77.2 million worth of restricted shares or 31,250,000 restricted shares of common stock, which were issued in June 2012 in exchange for cancellation of principal indebtedness of $77.2 million under the revolving amended and restated loan arrangement.

In October 2012, concurrent with an underwritten public offering (see Note 7 — Common and preferred stock), pursuant to The Mann Group Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, The Mann Group agreed to purchase for an aggregate purchase price of $107.4 million, 40,000,000 restricted shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 30,000,000 restricted shares of common stock, which were issued in October 2012 in exchange for cancellation of principal indebtedness of $107.4 million under the revolving amended and restated loan arrangement. The Mann Group warrants are exercisable at $2.60 per share and expire in October 2013.

The restricted shares sold to The Mann Group in both the June and October 2012 transactions may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred unless (i) the shares have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or (ii) the restricted shares are exempt from SEC registration requirements and the company has obtained an opinion from the company’s counsel that the shares may be sold lawfully without registration.

The cancelled principal amount became available for reborrowing. Additionally, in accordance with the terms of the note, the Company elected to capitalize the accrued and unpaid interest on the cancelled principal amount that became due upon the closing (see Note 7 – Common and preferred stock). During the first and second quarters of 2013, there were no borrowings under or amendments to The Mann Group loan arrangement.
