Note 7 — Debt

Through June 4, 2014, the Company maintained a credit facility with J.P. Morgan Chase, N.A. and NBT Bank, N.A. (on behalf of itself and as successor by merger to Alliance Bank, N.A.) consisting of $20.0 million in working capital lines of credit (with the option to increase to $30.0 million), which expired in June 2014.  This agreement allowed the Company, at its option, to borrow funds at the LIBOR rate plus the applicable interest rate spread or at the bank's prime lending rate.  This credit facility was secured by certain assets of the Company.

On June 5, 2014, the Company executed an amendment to its then existing credit facility to provide for the renewal of the facility through June 2017, with terms generally consistent to those of its prior facility.  This facility provided the Company with capital of up to $20.0 million (with the option to increase to $30.0 million) in the form of a revolving line of credit.  This agreement allowed the Company, at its option, to borrow funds at the LIBOR rate plus the applicable interest rate spread or at the bank's prime lending rate.
 
On September 9, 2014, the Company terminated its existing credit facilities with J.P. Morgan Chase, N.A. and NBT Bank, N.A. (on behalf of itself and as successor by merger to Alliance Bank, N.A.) consisting of $20.0 million in working capital lines of credit, and the Company and its domestic subsidiaries entered into a new three-year credit facility with J.P. Morgan Chase, N.A (the Credit Facility). The terms of the Credit Facility provide for up to $25 million of a line of credit, with borrowing availability based on a percentage of value of various assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The new agreement bears interest at the applicable bank rate (3.25% at December 31, 2015) or, at the Company's option, at the LIBOR rate plus the applicable interest rate spread (range of 1.5% – 2.0%).  At December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any outstanding balance on this line of credit.  The weighted average interest rate paid by the Company was approximately 3.50% during fiscal year 2015.   The new agreement contains traditional asset based loan covenants and includes covenants regarding earnings before interest, tax, depreciation & amortization (“EBITDA”) and a fixed charge coverage ratio, and provides for acceleration upon the occurrence of customary events of defaults.

On March 19, 2015, the Company amended  the Credit Facility to reduce the EBITDA requirement and extend the fixed charge coverage ratio.  The amendment provides the Company flexibility to continue investing in the Company’s future product offerings while maintaining certain covenant thresholds as defined in the amendment.  On March 16, 2016, the Company received a notice of defaults under its current Credit Facility due to unauthorized investments made during 2015 by the company’s former Chief Financial Officer, which were not permitted investments as defined in the lending agreement.  See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on these unauthorized investments.  These unauthorized investments involved cash transfers totaling $776,000, which amounts have been written off by the Company as of December 31, 2015 (the “Unauthorized Transactions”).  On March 24, 2016 the lender provided waivers of the defaults, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the waiver, including entry by the Company into a fourth amendment to the Company’s Credit Agreement.
 
On March 24, 2016, based on the waiver received, the Company executed the fourth amendment to its existing Credit Agreement.  Under the terms and conditions of this amendment, the Company has undertaken to engage, and has engaged,  an independent consultant to review its  internal controls relating to financial reporting and authorization procedures for financial transactions (including, without limitation, investments) initiated by the Company’s officers (the “Internal Control Review”).  The company has agreed to deliver to the lender a report prepared by Company’s consultant that sets forth, in reasonable detail, the results of the Internal Control Review, together with a summary of any recommended changes to the Company’s internal control procedures (the “ICR Report”).  To the extent the ICR Report sets forth recommended changes to Borrowers’ internal control procedures (“IC Recommendations”), The Company has agreed to promptly take steps to implement the IC Recommendations in all material respects.  The Company has agreed to provide periodic updates to the lender relating to the Internal Control Review, implementation of IC Recommendations and any ongoing investigations related to the Unauthorized Transactions
 
In addition to the credit facility described above, the Company has a mortgage loan, collateralized by certain real estate, with a balance of $746,000 and $919,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  This mortgage matures on November 1, 2019.  The Company's fixed interest rate was 4.05% through October 1, 2014.  Beginning on October 1, 2014, the fixed rate was converted to a new rate equal to the then-current five year fixed advanced rate charged by the New York Federal Home Loan bank, plus 225 basis points.  Effective November 1, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement that fixed the interest rate at 4.00% through the maturity date of the loan.  The annual mortgage payment including interest through November 1, 2019 totals $206,000.

In connection with the acquisition of Brink Software on September 18, 2014, the Company recorded indebtedness to the former owners of Brink under the stock purchase agreement.  At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the principal balance of the note payable was $2.0 million and $5.0 million and it had a carrying value of $1.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively.  The carrying value was based on the note’s estimated fair value at the time of acquisition.  The note does not bear interest and repayment terms are $3.0 million, which was paid on the first anniversary of close, September 18, 2015, and $2.0 million payable on the second anniversary of close, September 18, 2016.

The Company’s future principal payments under the stock purchase agreement and its mortgage are as follows (in thousands):
