Pursuant to the First Amendment, the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility was extended from June 30, 2016 to May 9, 2017.

Second Amendment to Senior Credit Agreement to Add Term Loan A Facility

Also on May 9, 2012, SBA Senior Finance II entered into the Second Amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement, among SBA Senior Finance II, the Incremental Tranche A Term Lenders (as defined therein) and Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, as administrative agent, TD Securities (USA) LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint lead arrangers, and TD Securities (USA) LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, RBS Securities Inc., Citibank, N.A. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as bookrunners, pursuant to which SBA Senior Finance II exercised its right to request additional term loans and borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $200 million under senior secured term loans (the “ Term Loan A ”). The Term Loan A accrues interest, at SBA Senior Finance II’s election, at either the Base Rate plus a margin that ranges from 1.00% to 1.50% or the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin that ranges from 2.00% to 2.50%, in each case based on the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Annualized Borrower EBITDA (calculated in accordance with the Senior Credit Agreement). Principal of the Term Loan A will be repaid in quarterly installments on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on September 30, 2012, in an amount equal to $2.5 million for each of the first eight quarters, $3.75 million for the next four quarters and $5.0 million for each quarter thereafter. SBA Senior Finance II has the ability to prepay any or all amounts under the Term Loan A without premium or penalty. To the extent not previously paid, the Term Loan A will be due and payable on May 9, 2017. The Term Loan A was issued at par with upfront fees in the amount of $1.0 million. Proceeds from the Term Loan A were used to pay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Supplements to Senior Credit Agreement to Increase Revolving Credit Facility

In addition, on May 9, 2012, SBA Senior Finance II exercised its right to upsize the aggregate principal amount of its Revolving Credit Facility from $600 million to $700 million. All other terms of the Senior Credit Agreement remained the same.
