NOTE
9
:
     
LONG-TERM DEBT
     
 
On
December 5, 2018,
we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with each of Sprott Resource Lending Partnership, as agent, and our remaining lenders and participants (collectively, the “Lenders”), whereby we and the Lenders agreed to certain further amendments to the
$20,000,000
Credit Facility.
 
The key terms of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are summarized as follows:
 
 
extension of the maturity date from
January 1, 2020
to
January 31, 2022
;
 
deferral of the prior monthly principal payments until the new maturity date of
January 31, 2022;
 
issuance of
third
extension fee shares equal to
7%
of the principal balance outstanding or
$1,400,000
paid to the Lenders by way of the issuance of
1,180,328
shares of the Company; and
 
payment of anniversary fees to the Lenders on each of
November 30, 2019,
2020
and
2021,
of
7%,
6.5%
and
6%,
respectively, of the principal balance then outstanding, if any, payable at the option of the Company in cash or shares of the Company with a price per share calculated as a
10%
discount to the
five
trading-day volume-weighted average price of the Company’s shares immediately prior to the applicable date.
 
Under the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Credit Facility remains non-revolving with an amended term of
8.5
years maturing on
January 31, 2022,
subject to an interest a rate of
8%
per annum, compounded and payable on a monthly basis. An underlying effective interest rate of
16.67%
has been calculated under the assumption that the Company will carry the full principal balance of
$20,000,000
to its contractual maturity on
January 31, 2022
without exercising the prepayment feature; and therefore, the anniversary fee payments of
$1,400,000,
$1,300,000
and
$1,200,000,
which are calculated on the principal balance then outstanding and can be made in shares or cash at the Company’s discretion, will become due on each of
November 30, 2019,
2020
and
2021,
respectively.
 
The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement supersedes, in their entirety, the prior Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated and effective
February 9, 2016,
the prior Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated and effective
March 13, 2014
and the prior Credit Agreement dated and effective
July 30, 2013.
