NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1) Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. (the Company) included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The Companys results are subject to seasonal fluctuations therefore the results shown on an interim basis are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance to simplify how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. The guidance permits an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
(3) FCC Broadcasting Licenses
The change in the carrying amount of FCC broadcasting licenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is as follows:
Balance as of December 31, 2011 |

On January 17, 2012, the Company began using a translator to rebroadcast the programming of one of its radio stations in Augusta, GA. The Company acquired the translator license from Edgewater Broadcasting, Inc. for $45,000. Translator licenses are generally granted for renewable terms of eight years. The licenses are not amortized but are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

BEASLEY BROADCAST GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
As of December 31, 2011, the old credit facility consisted of a term loan with a remaining balance of $71.9 million and a revolving credit loan with a maximum commitment of $65.0 million. The old credit facility carried interest, based on LIBOR, at 3.81% as of December 31, 2011.
On August 9, 2012, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC, entered into two new credit agreements with a syndicate of financial institutions for a $110.0 million first lien facility and a $25.0 million second lien facility. Proceeds from the new credit facilities were primarily used to repay the old credit facility. In connection with the new credit agreements, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of long-term debt of $2.6 million during the third quarter of 2012.
As of September 30, 2012, the first lien facility consists of a term loan with a remaining balance of $88.9 million and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of $20.0 million. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $15.0 million in remaining commitments available under its revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility includes a $5.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. At the Companys election, the first lien facility may bear interest at either (i) the adjusted LIBOR rate, as defined in the first lien credit agreement, plus a margin of 5.0% on the term loan and the adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 3.5% to 5.0% on the revolving credit facility that is determined by the Companys consolidated total debt ratio or (ii) the base rate, as defined in the first lien credit agreement, plus a margin of 4.0% on the term loan and the base rate plus a margin ranging from 2.5% to 4.0% on the revolving credit facility that is determined by the Companys consolidated total debt ratio. Interest on adjusted LIBOR rate 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 first lien facility carried interest, based on the adjusted LIBOR rate, at 5.19% as of September 30, 2012 and matures on August 9, 2017.
The first lien credit agreement requires mandatory prepayments equal to 50% of consolidated excess cash flow, as defined in the first lien credit agreement, when the Companys consolidated total debt is equal to or greater than three times its consolidated operating cash flow. The mandatory prepayments decrease to 25% of excess cash flow when the Companys 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 first lien facility requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants which are defined in the first lien credit agreement. These financial covenants include:
| Consolidated Total Debt Ratio. The Companys consolidated total debt on the last day of each fiscal quarter through March 31, 2013 must not exceed 5.25 times its consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters then ended. For the period from April 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, the maximum ratio is 5.0 times. For the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, the maximum ratio is 4.5 times. For the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, the maximum ratio is 4.0 times. For the period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, the maximum ratio is 3.5 times. For the period from January 1, 2017 through maturity, the maximum ratio is 3.0 times. |
| Interest Coverage Ratio. The Companys 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 first lien facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Companys assets and the assets of each of its subsidiaries and is guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and all of its subsidiaries. The guarantees were issued to the Companys lenders for repayment of the outstanding balance of the first lien facility. If the Company defaults under the terms of the first lien credit agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries may be required to perform under their guarantees. As of September 30, 2012, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company and its subsidiaries would have had to make in the event of default was $93.9 million. The guarantees for the first lien facility expire on August 9, 2017.
As of September 30, 2012, the second lien facility consists of a term loan of $25.0 million. At the Companys election, the second lien facility may bear interest at either the adjusted LIBOR rate or base rate, each as defined in the second lien credit agreement, plus a margin of 10.0% on an adjusted LIBOR rate loan and a margin of 9.0% on a base rate loan. The adjusted LIBOR rate for the second lien facility may not be less than 1.25%. Interest on adjusted LIBOR rate 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 second lien facility carried interest, based on the adjusted LIBOR rate, at 11.25% as of September 30, 2012 and matures on August 9, 2018.

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

Failure to comply with financial covenants, scheduled interest payments, scheduled principal repayments, or any other terms of its credit agreements could result in the acceleration of the maturity of its outstanding debt. As of September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under its credit agreements.
(5) Derivative Financial Instruments
On August 24, 2012, the Company entered into two interest rate cap agreements to limit its cost of variable rate debt on a portion of its term loans. The interest rate cap agreements have an aggregate notional amount of $57.5 million and cap LIBOR at 1% on an equivalent amount of the Companys term loans. The interest rate cap agreements terminate in September 2014. The interest rate caps were not designated as hedging instruments. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of the interest rate caps, reported in other assets, was approximately $34,000. The fair values of the interest rate caps were determined using observable inputs (Level 2). The inputs were quotes from the counterparties to the interest rate cap agreements. The change in fair value, reported in interest expense, was approximately $54,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Previously, the Company used interest rate swap agreements to fix its cost of variable debt on a portion of its old credit facility. These interest rate swap agreements, which expired in 2011, were designated as cash flow hedges of its variable rate debt. A summary of activity relating to the expired interest rate swap agreements is as follows:

(6) Stock-Based Compensation
The Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the 2007 Plan) permits the Company to issue up to 4.0 million shares of Class A common stock. The 2007 Plan allows for eligible employees, directors and certain consultants of the Company to receive shares of restricted stock, stock options or other stock-based awards. The restricted stock awards that have been granted under the 2007 Plan generally vest over one to five years of service.
A summary of restricted stock activity under the 2007 Plan is as follows:
Shares | Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
|||||||
Unvested as of July 1, 2012 |
135,901 | $ | 3.98 | |||||

|
|
As of September 30, 2012, there was $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock granted under the 2007 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years.
The 2000 Equity Plan of Beasley Broadcast Group. Inc. (the 2000 Plan) was terminated upon adoption of the 2007 Plan, except with respect to outstanding awards. The remaining stock options expire ten years from the date of grant. No new awards will be granted under the 2000 Plan. As of September 30, 2012, there were 178,084 exercisable stock options outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $13.92. The weighted-average remaining contractual term was 1.2 years and the aggregate intrinsic value was zero.
(7) Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate was approximately 40% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 40% and 39% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, which differ from the federal statutory rate of 34% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain of the Companys expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.
(8) Non-Cash Operating and Investing Activities
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company finalized the terms of a long-term lease agreement for a radio tower in Boston, MA. The terms of the agreement resulted in a $1.3 million reclassification of leasehold improvements previously reported in property and equipment to long-term prepaid rent in other assets.

Recent Developments
On August 10, 2012, we exercised our option to acquire the assets of KOAS-FM in Las Vegas, NV from GGB Las Vegas, LLC, which is owned by George G. Beasley, for $4.5 million. The acquisition was financed with $2.0 million in cash and a $2.5 million note payable to GGB Las Vegas, LLC.

Proceeds from the new credit facilities were primarily used to repay the old credit facility. The first lien facility consists of a term loan of $90.0 million and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of $20.0 million. The revolving credit facility includes a $5.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. At our election, the first lien facility may bear interest at either (i) the adjusted LIBOR rate, as defined in the first lien credit agreement, plus a margin of 5.0% on the term loan and the adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 3.5% to 5.0% on the revolving credit facility that is determined by our consolidated total debt ratio or (ii) the base rate, as defined in the first lien credit agreement, plus a margin of 4.0% on the term loan and the base rate plus a margin ranging from 2.5% to 4.0% on the revolving credit facility that is determined by our consolidated total debt ratio. Interest on adjusted LIBOR rate 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 first lien facility matures on August 9, 2017. The second lien facility consists of a term loan of $25.0 million. At our election, the second lien facility may bear interest at either the adjusted LIBOR rate or base rate, each as defined in the second lien credit agreement, plus a margin of 10.0% on an adjusted LIBOR rate loan and a margin of 9.0% on a base rate loan.

Financial Statement Presentation
The following discussion provides a brief description of certain key items that appear in our financial statements and general factors that impact these items.
Net Revenue. Our net revenue is primarily derived from the sale of advertising airtime to local and national advertisers. Net revenue is gross revenue less agency commissions, generally 15% of gross revenue. Local revenue generally consists of advertising airtime and digital sales to advertisers in a radio stations local market either directly to the advertiser or through the advertisers agency. National revenue generally consists of advertising airtime sales to agencies purchasing advertising for multiple markets. National sales are generally facilitated by our national representation firm, which serves as our agent in these transactions.
Our net revenue is generally determined by the advertising rates that we are able to charge and the number of advertisements that we can broadcast without jeopardizing listener levels. Advertising rates are primarily based on the following factors:
| a radio stations audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers as measured principally by quarterly reports issued by the Arbitron Ratings Company; |
| the number of radio stations, as well as other forms of media, in the market competing for the attention of the same demographic groups; |
| the supply of, and demand for, radio advertising time; and |
| the size of the market. |
Our net revenue is affected by general economic conditions, competition and our ability to improve operations at our market clusters. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are also common in the radio broadcasting industry and are primarily due to variations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our revenues are typically lowest in the first calendar quarter of the year.
We use trade sales agreements to reduce cash paid for operating costs and expenses by exchanging advertising airtime for goods or services; however, we endeavor to minimize trade revenue in order to maximize cash revenue from our available airtime.
We also continue to invest in interactive support services to develop and promote our radio station websites. We derive revenue from our websites through the sale of advertiser promotions and advertising on our websites and the sale of advertising airtime during audio streaming of our radio stations over the internet.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses consist primarily of (1) programming, engineering, sales, advertising and promotion, and general and administrative expenses incurred at our radio stations, (2) general and administrative expenses, including compensation and other expenses, incurred at our corporate offices, and (3) depreciation and amortization. We strive to control our operating expenses by centralizing certain functions at our corporate offices and consolidating certain functions in each of our market clusters.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:
| it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and |
| changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. |
13
Our critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the third quarter of 2012.

Net Revenue. The $0.3 million increase in net revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to additional net revenue of $0.4 million from KOAS-FM in Las Vegas, which was acquired during the third quarter of 2012. Net revenue at our remaining market clusters was comparable to the same period in 2011.
Station Operating Expenses. The $1.7 million decrease in station operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster as a result of continuing cost containment measures. In addition, station operating expenses decreased an aggregate amount of $0.8 million across ten of our eleven market clusters as a result of the BMI fee settlement in the second quarter of 2012.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were comparable to the same period in 2011.
Interest Expense. The $1.6 million decrease in interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was due to repayments of borrowings under our credit facility and the expiration of interest rate swap agreements during the first and third quarters of 2011.
Loss on Extinguishment of Long-Term Debt. In connection with the new credit agreements we recorded a loss on extinguishment of long-term debt of $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Income Tax Expense. Our effective tax rate was approximately 40% and 39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively, which differ from the federal statutory rate of 34% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain of our expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.
Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $0.7 million as a result of the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview. Our primary sources of liquidity are internally generated cash flow and our revolving credit facility. Our primary liquidity needs have been, and for the next twelve months and thereafter are expected to continue to be, for working capital, debt service, and other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and radio station acquisitions. Historically, our capital expenditures have not been significant. In addition to property and equipment associated with radio station acquisitions, our capital expenditures have generally been, and are expected to continue to be, related to the maintenance of our studio and office space and the technological improvement, including upgrades necessary to broadcast HD Radio, and maintenance of our broadcasting towers and equipment. We have also purchased or constructed office and studio space in some of our markets to facilitate the consolidation of our operations.
Our credit agreements permit us to pay cash dividends and to repurchase additional shares of our common stock, subject to compliance with financial covenants, up to an aggregate amount of $2.0 million from August 9, 2012 to December 31, 2012. The aggregate amount is $4.0 million for 2013, $5.0 million for 2014 and 2015, and $6.0 million for each year thereafter. We did not pay any cash dividends during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We paid $0.1 million to repurchase 32,587 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
We expect to provide for future liquidity needs through one or a combination of the following sources of liquidity:
| internally generated cash flow; |
| our credit facilities; |
15
| additional borrowings, other than under our existing credit facilities, to the extent permitted thereunder; and |
| additional equity offerings. |
We believe that we will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to permit us to provide for our liquidity requirements and meet our financial obligations for the next twelve months. However, poor financial results, unanticipated acquisition opportunities or unanticipated expenses could give rise to defaults under our credit facilities, additional debt servicing requirements or other additional financing or liquidity requirements sooner than we expect and we may not secure financing when needed or on acceptable terms.
Our ability to reduce our consolidated total debt ratio, as defined by our credit agreements, by increasing operating cash flow and/or decreasing long-term debt will determine how much, if any, of the remaining commitments under our revolving credit facility will be available to us in the future. Poor financial results or unanticipated expenses could result in our failure to maintain or lower our consolidated total debt ratio and we may not be permitted to make any additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
The following summary table presents a comparison of our capital resources for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 with respect to certain of our key measures affecting our liquidity. The changes set forth in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was comparable to the same period in 2011. A $1.6 million decrease in interest payments were offset by a $1.2 million increase in income tax payments and a $0.3 million decrease in cash receipts from the sale of advertising airtime.
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a payment of $2.0 million for the acquisition of KOAS-FM in Las Vegas, NV and payments of $1.3 million for capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities for the same period in 2011 was primarily due to payments of $1.0 million for capital expenditures and $0.8 million for investments.
Net Cash Used In Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to repayments of $7.9 million under our credit facilities, payments of $4.1 million of loan fees related to the new credit facilities, and a repayment of $2.5 million under a note payable to related party for the acquisition of KOAS-FM in Las Vegas, NV. Net cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2011 was primarily due to repayments of $9.4 million under our credit facility.
Credit Facilities. As of October 26, 2012, the aggregate outstanding balance of our credit facilities was $118.9 million. On August 9, 2012, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC, entered into two new credit agreements with a syndicate of financial institutions for a $110.0 million first lien facility and a $25.0 million second lien facility. Proceeds from the new credit facilities were primarily used to repay the old credit facility. In connection with the new credit agreements, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of long-term debt of $2.6 million during the third quarter of 2012.
As of September 30, 2012, the first lien facility consists of a term loan with a remaining balance of $88.9 million and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of $20.0 million. As of September 30, 2012, we had $15.0 million in remaining commitments under our revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility includes a $5.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. At our election, the first lien facility may bear interest at either (i) the adjusted LIBOR rate, as defined in the first lien credit agreement, plus a margin of 5.0% on the term loan and the adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 3.5% to 5.0% on the revolving credit facility that is determined by our consolidated total debt ratio or (ii) the base rate, as defined in the first lien credit agreement, plus a margin of 4.0% on the term loan and the base rate plus a margin ranging from 2.5% to 4.0% on the revolving credit facility that is determined by our consolidated total debt ratio. Interest on adjusted LIBOR rate 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 first lien facility carried interest, based on the adjusted LIBOR rate, at 5.19% as of September 30, 2012 and matures on August 9, 2017.

The first lien credit agreement requires mandatory prepayments equal to 50% of consolidated excess cash flow, as defined in the first lien credit agreement, when our consolidated total debt is equal to or greater than three times our consolidated operating cash flow. The mandatory prepayments decrease to 25% of excess cash flow when our consolidated total debt is less than three times our 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 first lien facility requires us to comply with certain financial covenants which are defined in the first lien credit agreement. These financial covenants include:
| Consolidated Total Debt Ratio. Our consolidated total debt on the last day of each fiscal quarter through March 31, 2013 must not exceed 5.25 times our consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters then ended. For the period from April 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, the maximum ratio is 5.0 times. For the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, the maximum ratio is 4.5 times. For the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, the maximum ratio is 4.0 times. For the period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, the maximum ratio is 3.5 times. For the period from January 1, 2017 through maturity, the maximum ratio is 3.0 times. |
| Interest Coverage Ratio. Our 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 our consolidated cash interest expense for the four quarters then ended. |
The first lien facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Companys assets and the assets of each of its subsidiaries and is guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and all of its subsidiaries. The guarantees were issued to our lenders for repayment of the outstanding balance of the first lien facility. If we default under the terms of the first lien credit agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries may be required to perform under their guarantees. As of September 30, 2012, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company and its subsidiaries would have had to make in the event of default was $93.9 million. The guarantees for the first lien facility expire on August 9, 2017.
The second lien facility consists of a term loan of $25.0 million. At our election, the second lien facility may bear interest at either the adjusted LIBOR rate or base rate, each as defined in the second lien credit agreement, plus a margin of 10.0% on an adjusted LIBOR rate loan and a margin of 9.0% on a base rate loan. The adjusted LIBOR rate for the second lien facility may not be less than 1.25%. Interest on adjusted LIBOR rate 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 second lien facility carried interest, based on the adjusted LIBOR rate, at 11.25% as of September 30, 2012 and matures on August 9, 2018.
The second lien facility requires us to comply with certain financial covenants which are defined in the second lien credit agreement. These financial covenants include:
| Consolidated Total Debt Ratio. Our consolidated total debt on the last day of each fiscal quarter through March 31, 2013 must not exceed 6.0 times our consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters then ended. For the period from April 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, the maximum ratio is 5.75 times. For the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, the maximum ratio is 5.25 times. For the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, the maximum ratio is 4.75 times. For the period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, the maximum ratio is 4.25 times. For the period from January 1, 2017 through maturity, the maximum ratio is 3.75 times. |
| Interest Coverage Ratio. Our consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter through maturity must not be less than 1.7 times our consolidated cash interest expense for the four quarters then ended. |
The second lien facility is secured by a second-priority lien on substantially all of the Companys assets and the assets of each of its subsidiaries and is guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and all of its subsidiaries. The guarantees were issued to our lenders for repayment of the outstanding balance of the first lien facility. If we default under the terms of the first lien credit
