Modeling Mezzanine Debt

Hi All - I’m working on a transaction that will be financed with some mezzanine debt. I have never worked on one with this financing component so I would appreciate some input regarding how to model it.
 

The debt has a 3% up front payment fee, penny warrants for 2% of the fully diluted equity, 12% cash interest, 1.5% PIK interest, and a 6 year maturity. 
 

Thanks in advance.
