As of December 31, 2014, the credit facility consisted of a term loan with a remaining balance of $97.7 million and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of $20.0 million. The credit facility carried interest, based on adjusted LIBOR, at 3.4% as of December 31, 2014.

On November 30, 2015, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC, entered into a new credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions. Proceeds from the new credit facility were primarily used to repay the old credit facility. In connection with the new credit agreement, the Company recorded a loss on modification of long-term debt of $0.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2015.

As of December 31, 2015, the credit facility consisted of a term loan with a remaining balance of $89.0 million and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of $20.0 million. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $20.0 million in available commitments under its revolving credit facility. At the Company’s option, the credit facility may bear interest at either (i) the LIBOR rate, as defined in the credit agreement, plus a margin ranging from 2.5% to 4.5% that is determined by the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio, as defined in the credit agreement or (ii) the base rate, as defined in the credit agreement, plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 3.5% that is determined by the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio. Interest on adjusted LIBOR loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period and, for those interest periods with a duration in excess of three months, the three month anniversary of the beginning of such interest period. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears. The credit facility carried interest, based on LIBOR, at 3.9% as of December 31, 2015 and matures on November 30, 2020.

The credit agreement requires mandatory prepayments equal to 50% of consolidated excess cash flow, as defined in the credit agreement, when the Company’s consolidated total debt is equal to or greater than three times its consolidated operating cash flow, as defined in the credit agreement. Prepayments of excess cash flow are not required when the Company’s consolidated total debt is less than three times its consolidated operating cash flow. Mandatory prepayments of consolidated excess cash flow are due 120 days after year end. The credit agreement also requires mandatory prepayments for defined amounts from net proceeds of asset sales, net insurance proceeds, and net proceeds of debt issuances.

The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants which are defined in the credit agreement. These financial covenants include:

•

Consolidated Total Debt Ratio. The Company’s consolidated total debt on the last day of each fiscal quarter through September 30, 2016 must not exceed 4.5 times its consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters then ended. For the period from October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017, the maximum ratio is 4.25 times. For the period from April 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, the maximum ratio is 4.0 times. The maximum ratio is 3.75 for 2018, 3.5 times for 2019, and 3.0 times for 2020.

•

Interest Coverage Ratio. The Company’s consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter through maturity must not be less than 2.0 times its consolidated cash interest expense for the four quarters then ended.

The new credit facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of substantially all of its subsidiaries and is guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries. If the Company defaults under the terms of the credit agreement, the Company and its applicable subsidiaries may be required to perform under their guarantees. As of December 31, 2015, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company and its applicable subsidiaries would have been required to make in the event of default was $89.0 million. The guarantees for the credit facility expire on November 30, 2020.

Failure to comply with financial covenants, scheduled interest payments, scheduled principal repayments, or any other terms of the Company’s credit agreement could result in the acceleration of the maturity of its outstanding debt, which could have a material adverse effect on its business or results of operations. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under its credit agreement.

The Company has two capital leases related to radio towers. The obligations recorded as of December 31, 2015 represent the fair value of one tower and the present value of future lease payments under the lease agreements for the other tower. See Note 15 for additional information on the capital leases.

On February 23, 2016, a waiver was granted by the lenders party to the Company’s credit agreement which allowed the Company to enter certain lease agreements with related parties. See Note 15 for additional information on the lease transactions.

The aggregate scheduled principal repayments of the credit facility and capital lease obligations for the next five years are as follows:
