Long Term Debt
 
On
January 22, 2018,
in connection with the closing of the Denville Transaction, the Company terminated the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement), among the Company, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. and each of the other lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, as administrative agent. All outstanding amounts under the agreement were repaid in full using a portion of the proceeds of the Denville Transaction. At the time of repayment, there was approximately
$11.9
million outstanding.
 
On
January 31, 2018,
the Company entered into a financing agreement by and among the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company parties thereto, as borrowers (collectively, the Borrower), certain subsidiaries of the Company parties thereto, as guarantors, various lenders from time to time party thereto (the Lenders), and Cerberus Business Finance, LLC, as collateral agent and administrative agent for the Lenders (the Financing Agreement).
 
On
August 16, 2018,
the Company and Cerberus Business Finance, LLC entered into a First Amendment to the Financing Agreement, which such amendment modified certain provisions related to the borrowing base and reporting, among other things.
 
On
November 4, 2019,
the Company and Cerberus Business Finance, LLC entered into a Second Amendment to the Financing Agreement, which modified certain provisions effective as of
September 30, 2019
related to the Company’s quarterly leverage ratio financial covenant amongst other provisions.
 
The Financing Agreement provided for senior secured credit facilities (the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) comprised of a
$64.0
million term loan and up to a
$25.0
million revolving line of credit. The proceeds of the term loan and
$4.8
million of advances under the revolving line of credit were used to fund a portion of the DSI acquisition, and to pay fees and expenses related thereto and the closing of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. In addition, the revolving facility is available for use by the Company and its subsidiaries for general corporate and working capital needs, and other purposes to the extent permitted by the Financing Agreement. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities matures in
2023.
 
Commencing on
March 31, 2018,
the outstanding term loans began to amortize in equal quarterly installments equal to
$0.4
million per quarter on such date and during each of the next
three
quarters thereafter,
$0.6
million per quarter during the next
four
quarters thereafter and
$0.8
million per quarter thereafter, with a balloon payment at maturity. Furthermore, within
ten
days of the Company’s delivery of its audited annual financial statements each year, the term loans are permanently reduced pursuant to certain mandatory prepayment events including an annual “excess cash flow sweep” of
50%
of the consolidated excess cash flow; provided that, in any fiscal year, any voluntary prepayments of the term loans shall be credited against the Company’s “excess cash flow” prepayment obligations on a dollar-for-dollar basis for such fiscal year. During the year ended
December 31, 2019,
the Company made an excess cash flow payment of
$4.0
million and a payment of
$1.0
million in connection with the release of an escrow amount associated with the Denville Transaction discussed in Note
5
as required by the Financing Agreement.
 
The obligations of the Borrower under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s existing and subsequently acquired or organized subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities and related guarantees are secured on a
first
-priority basis (subject to certain liens permitted under the Financing Agreement) by a lien on substantially all the tangible and intangible assets of the Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors, including all of the capital stock held by such obligors (subject to a
65%
limitation on pledges of capital stock of foreign subsidiaries), subject to certain exceptions.
 
Interest on all loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is paid monthly. Borrowings under the Financing Agreement accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the Borrower’s option, a base rate plus
4.75%
or a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate plus
6.25%.
The loans are also subject to a
1.25%
interest rate floor for LIBOR loans and a
4.25%
interest rate floor for base rate loans.
 
The Financing Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries and also contains certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, limitations on the incurrence of additional debt, liens on property, acquisitions and investments, loans and guarantees, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, asset sales, dividends and other payments in respect of the Company’s capital stock, prepayments of certain debt, transactions with affiliates and modifications of organizational documents, material contracts, affiliated practice agreements and certain debt agreements. The Financing Agreement contains customary events of default and is subject to covenant and working capital borrowing restrictions. The Company had available borrowing capacity under the revolving line of credit of
$8.7
million as of
December 31, 2019.
 
As of
December 31, 2019,
the weighted effective interest rate, net of the impact of the Company’s interest rate swap, on its borrowings was
8.48%.
The carrying value of the debt approximates fair value because the interest rate under the obligation approximates market rates of interest available to the Company for similar instruments. 
 
As of
December 31, 2019,
and
December 31, 2018,
the Company’s borrowings were comprised of:
