Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant On April 3, 2007, we entered into a loan agreement with Amalgamated Bank. The loan agreement provides for a five-year secured term credit facility in the amount of $10.0 million. Borrowings under the facility have been used to refinance $5,000,000 under our existing $15.0 million revolving credit facility with Amalgamated Bank and the balance for working capital purposes. As of the date hereof, we had $10,000,000 in borrowings under the term note and $8.5 million under the $15.0 million revolving credit facility. The initial interest rate on borrowings under the term facility is equal to 3.00% plus the applicable LIBOR rate. Interest is payable monthly, quarterly or semi-annually, at our election, in arrears not later than the end of each such period. The credit facility requires that all principal be repaid in $1.0 million semi-annual payments beginning October 4, 2007. The facility is secured by a first priority lien on our accounts receivable, equipment, inventory and deposit accounts. The obligations under the term credit facility are also guaranteed by each of our current and future subsidiaries. The term credit facility contains the same covenants under our $15.0 million revolving credit facility which restrict our ability to, among other things: (1) incur or guarantee additional debt; (2) make any investments (other than in the ordinary course); (3) engage in any asset sales or dispose of any assets (other than in the ordinary course); (4) engage in transactions with affiliates; (5) incur liens; and (6) declare or pay dividends. The credit facility also requires us not to exceed a maximum total leverage ratio, to maintain a minimum consolidated EBITDA, to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and to maintain minimum deposit balances with the lender (unless certain revenue and EBITDA thresholds are met). The credit facility also provides for customary events of default, including non-payment defaults and covenant defaults. Additionally, we agreed with Amalgamated Bank to amend the tern note and loan agreement associated with the $15.0 million revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the facility to October 31, 2007. The descriptions of the credit facility and loan agreement are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the loan agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
