On May 6, 2013, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with a new lender consisting of (1) a $20 million revolving credit facility which matures on May 1, 2016 (“Line of Credit”), (2) a term loan in the amount of $3,450,000 which matures on May 1, 2020 (“Term Loan A”) and (3) a term loan in the amount of $1,550,000 which matures on May 1, 2020 (Term Loan B and together with Term Loan A, the “Term Loans”). The Loan Agreement provided funds to refinance all existing indebtedness to the Company’s previous lender and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The interest rate on Term Loan A, after consideration of related interest rate swap agreements, is a fixed rate per annum equal to 4.875%, and effective August 1, 2017, such rate converts to a fixed rate per annum of 4.37%.
