Line of Credit | 7. Line of Credit On July 31, 2012, each of our subsidiaries Gaiam Americas, Inc., SPRI Products, Inc., GT Direct, Inc., and Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment (collectively the “Borrowers”) entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, N.A. (“PNC”), as agent and lender. Borrowings are secured by a pledge of the Borrowers’ assets and our ownership interests in the Borrowers. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $35 million ($26 million April 1 st through June 30 th of each calendar year), subject to borrowing base and related limitations. Subject to certain limitations, the principal amount of the revolving loan is due and payable on the earlier of July 30, 2015 or upon the termination of the Credit Agreement. For advances that are not Eurodollar rate loans, referred to as “domestic rate loans” in the Credit Agreement, annual interest will accrue at a rate equal to 0.75% plus the higher of (i) PNC’s stated commercial lending rate in effect on such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Open Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement; essentially the daily federal funds open rate as quoted by ICAP North America, Inc. (or any successor) as published by Bloomberg) in effect on such day plus 0.5%, and (iii) the sum of the Daily LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement; essentially the rate resulting from dividing (x) the daily London Interbank Offered Rates published in the Wall Street Journal for a one month period by (y) a number equal to 1.00 minus the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s reserve percentage with respect to eurocurrency funding) in effect on such day plus 1.0%. The Borrowers may also obtain Eurodollar rate loans under the revolving line of credit. Eurodollar rate loans will accrue annual interest at a rate equal to the sum of 2.25% plus the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement; essentially the rate resulting from dividing (x) the rates at which US dollar deposits are offered by leading banks in the London interbank deposit market as published by Bloomberg, by (y) a number equal to 1.00 minus the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s reserve percentage with respect to eurocurrency funding). Interest will be payable monthly in arrears for domestic rate loans and at the end of each interest period for Eurodollar rate loans. Upon and after the occurrence of an event of default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of PNC or at the direction of a certain specified number of lenders, outstanding advances will bear interest at the interest rate set forth above for domestic rate loans plus 2% per year. The Borrowers paid a fee of $175,000 to PNC in consideration for entering into the Credit Agreement, which is being recognized over the term of the Credit Agreement, and will pay PNC a fee equal to 0.5% per year on the undrawn amount of the revolving line of credit. The Credit Agreement permits voluntary prepayments of amounts borrowed and reductions or terminations of the revolving commitments pursuant to notice requirements. The Borrowers must also prepay the advances in amounts equal to the net proceeds of certain sales of collateral and the net proceeds of certain issuances of equity interest or indebtedness. The Borrowers must pay an early termination fee equal to 2% of the maximum amount of the revolving line of credit if the Borrowers prepay all advances before July 31, 2013, and an early termination fee equal to 1% of the maximum amount of the revolving line of credit if the Borrowers prepay all advances before July 31, 2014. The Credit Agreement subjects the Company to certain customary affirmative covenants and customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, pay dividends, and merge. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, and covenant defaults. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, amounts due under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the rights and remedies of the lenders under the Credit Agreement may be exercised. In conjunction with entering into the Credit Agreement, on August 1, 2012, we paid in full the outstanding balance owed to our prior senior lender, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in the amount of approximately $14.1 million and terminated the underlying Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated July 29, 2005, between Gaiam and Wells Fargo. As of December 31, 2012, the outstanding borrowings on the Credit Agreement were approximately $16.2 million at an average annual interest rate of approximately 3.53% and the amount reserved for outstanding letters of credit and other reserves was $12.6 million.
