Credit Agreement

On March 4, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NIL Funding Corporation to provide a $3 million revolving line of credit for working capital purposes which was subsequently amended and restated on two occasions as described below. The Agreement provides for a borrowing formula based upon eligible accounts receivable and is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. Borrowings under the Agreement bore interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum. The Agreement also provides for an unused commitment fee equal to .5% per annum. The Agreement includes provisions that are customarily found in similar financing agreements. NIL Funding Corporation is an affiliate of The InterTech Group, whose Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Julian A. Tiedemann, serves as the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.

On August 18, 2016, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with NIL Funding Corporation which increased the $3 million revolving line of credit to $6 million. Under the Amended Agreement, the facility was to mature on October 2, 2018 and consisted of two credit lines of $4 million and $2 million which bore interest at rates of 6.95% per annum and 8.25% per annum, respectively. The $4 million line of credit was subject to a borrowing formula based upon eligible accounts receivable. The Amended Agreement also provided for an initial commitment fee of $60,000, which was paid at closing, as well as an unused commitment fee equal to .5% per annum. The Amended Agreement includes a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a specified minimum tangible net worth, as defined, and is otherwise substantially similar to the original Agreement with NIL Funding Corporation. At March 31, 2017, the Company was not in compliance with this covenant. As of March 31, 2017, outstanding borrowings under the Amended Agreement were $2,750,000.

On April 20, 2017, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Agreement”) with NIL Funding Corporation, under which only $2 million of the $6 million facility is subject to a borrowing formula, effectively providing the Company with $2 million of additional borrowing availability. The Second Amended Agreement also extends the maturity date of the credit facility to April 2, 2019, and reduces the Company’s minimum tangible net worth requirement, but is otherwise substantially similar to the Amended Agreement.

In connection with the Second Amended Agreement, NIL Funding was issued a three-year warrant to purchase 1.5 million shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $.40 per share.
