Senior Secured Credit Facility - Revolver and Term Loans
On March 4, 2022, we entered into the fifth amended and restated senior secured credit facility with five banks, which included the following amendments:
increased the aggregate amount of total commitments from $245,000 to $495,000,
increased the aggregate amount of the revolving commitments from $180,000 to $200,000,
increased the existing term loan A from $65,000 to $75,000,
extended the maturity date of the revolving commitment and term loan A from June 28, 2024 to March 4, 2025,
added a delayed draw term loan A for up to $220,000 through a September 4, 2023 maturity date,
increased the total funded debt to EBITDA covenant ratio from a maximum of 3.50 to 4.50 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022; 4.25 for the quarter ending June 30, 2022, 4.00 for the quarters ending September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022; and 3.50 thereafter,
specified the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of (a) cash flow of the core Ameresco companies, to (b) debt service of the core Ameresco companies as of the end of each fiscal quarter to be less than 1.5, and
increased our limit under an energy conversation project financing to $650,000, which provides us with flexibility to grow our federal business further.
The revolving credit facility may be increased by an amount up to an additional $100,000 in increments of at least $25,000 at the approval of the lenders, subject to certain conditions.
We accounted for this amendment as a modification and at closing we incurred $2,048 in lenders fees which were reflected as debt discount and $352 in third party fees which were reflected as debt issuance costs. The unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of the previous agreement are being amortized over the remaining term of the amended agreement, with the exception of $96 of costs relating to a previous syndicated lender which did not participate in this amendment. These costs were expensed in other expenses, net during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
On June 9, 2022, we entered into the first amendment to the fifth amended and restated senior secured credit facility, which increased the maximum indebtedness incurred under an energy conservation project financing from $650,000 to $725,000 from and after April 1, 2022, to and including December 30, 2022.
June 2022 Term Shelf Notes
On July 27, 2021, we entered into a non-recourse debt agreement with a group of lenders. The financing facility consisted of senior secured first lien term notes due March 2046, floating rate senior secured second lien term notes due July 2030, and a shelf facility of up to $60,000 available until July 2024.
On June 28, 2022, two senior secured notes (“Shelf Notes”) due March 31, 2042 were issued under our shelf facility, with gross proceeds of $7,113. The Shelf Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.45% per annum and are payable quarterly commencing September 30, 2022.
At closing, we incurred $103 in lender fees and debt issuance costs. In connection with the Shelf Notes, we recorded a derivative instrument for make-whole provisions with an initial value of $1,088, which was recognized in debt discount. See Note 11 for additional information.

Non-recourse Construction Revolvers
Construction Revolver, Commencement Date June 2020
On April 29, 2022, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours executed a joinder agreement to the June 2020 construction revolver, which added it as an additional borrower under the master construction loan agreement. At closing, we borrowed $9,800 for a solar and storage project.
In June 2022, we entered into a fifth amendment to the June 2020 construction revolver to extend this facility from June 2022 to September 2022. All remaining unpaid amounts outstanding under the facility are due at that time. As of June 30, 2022, $28,807 is outstanding under the revolver and $71,193 was available for borrowing under this facility.
Construction Revolver, Commencement Date July 2020
As of June 30, 2022, $24,145 was available for borrowing under the July 2020 construction revolver. On July 15, 2022, we signed an extension of this instrument through September 15, 2022.
