Credit Facility

On June 23, 2017, we entered into a Credit Agreement with First Internet Bank of Indiana (“FIB”), which Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2019 had been amended on July 2, 2018, September 6, 2018, September 28, 2018 and May 1, 2019 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).  The Credit Agreement includes three term loans (the “Initial Term Loan”, “Subsequent Term Loan,” and "New Term Loan," respectively), a revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility”), a construction draw loan (the “Construction Draw Loan”), an equipment draw loan (the “Equipment Draw Loan”), and a capital expenditure line of credit (the "Capex Line").

The Initial Term Loan for $4,500 bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.99%, with monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $33. The Initial Term Loan matures in June 2022. The balance on the Initial Term Loan at June 30, 2019 was $4,048. We used the proceeds from the Initial Term Loan to satisfy our indebtedness with Huntington Bank and terminated the related interest rate swap.

The July 2, 2018 amendment to the Credit Facility provided the Company with the Subsequent Term Loan in the amount of $5,500, the proceeds of which were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition of Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC. Amounts outstanding under the Subsequent Term Loan bear interest at a fixed per annum rate of 5.06%, with monthly principal and interest payments equal to $78. The Subsequent Term Loan matures July 2, 2023 and the balance on the Subsequent Term Loan at June 30, 2019 was $4,887.

The Revolving Facility provides a line of credit for up to $3,500 which the Company may borrow from time to time, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, including as may be limited by the amount of the Company’s outstanding eligible receivables. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at the Prime Rate (generally defined as the highest rate identified as the “Prime Rate” in The Wall Street Journal “Money Rates” column on the date the interest rate is to be determined, or if that date is not a publication date, on the publication date immediately preceding) less Twenty-five (25) Basis Points (0.25%). The balance on the Revolving Facility was $572 and $0 as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. We must pay accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding balance under the Revolving Facility on a monthly basis.

The September 28, 2018 amendment provided the Company with the Construction Draw Loan in a principal amount not to exceed $4,445 and the Equipment Draw Loan in a principal amount not to exceed $1,429. The Construction Draw Loan and Equipment Draw Loan each mature on March 28, 2025. As of June 30, 2019, there was a $2,012 balance on the Construction Draw Loan and a $499 balance on the Equipment Draw Loan.

Subject to certain conditions precedent, a Construction Draw Loan and an Equipment Draw Loan each permit the Company to obtain advances aggregating up to the maximum principal amount available for such loan through March 28, 2020. Amounts outstanding under these loans bear interest at a fixed per annum rate of 5.20%. The Construction Draw Loan and the Equipment Draw Loan each require monthly payments of accrued interest on amounts outstanding through March 28, 2020, and thereafter monthly payments of principal and interest on amounts then outstanding through maturity.

In connection with the Smithers Avanza Acquisition, on May 1, 2019, as described in Note 9, the Company and FIB entered into a fourth amendment (the "Fourth Amendment") to the Credit Agreement to (i) extend the term of the Company's Revolving Facility to June 30, 2020, (ii) provide the Company with an additional term loan (the "New Term Loan") in the amount of $1,271, the proceeds of which were used to fund the cash consideration for the Smithers Avanza Acquisition, and (iii) provide for an additional line of credit in the principal amount of $1,100 (the "Capex Line"), which the Company may borrow from time to time, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The New Term Loan and the Capex Line mature November 1, 2025 and June 30, 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the balances on the New Term Loan and Capex Line were $1,271 and $460, respectively.

Amounts outstanding under the New Term Loan bear interest at a fixed per annum rate of 4.63%, while interest accrues on the principal balance of the Capex Line at a floating per annum rate equal to the sum of the Prime Rate plus Fifty Basis Points (0.5)%, which rate shall change concurrently with the Prime Rate. Commencing June 1, 2019, the New Term Loan requires monthly interest only payments until December 1, 2019, from which time payments of principal and interest in monthly installments of $20 become due, with all accrued but unpaid interest, cost and expenses due and payable at the maturity date. The Company is required to pay accrued but unpaid interest on the Capex Line on a monthly basis commencing on June 1, 2019, until June 30, 2020, at which time the entire balance of the Capex Line, together with accrued but unpaid interest, costs and expenses, shall be due and payable in full. a unsecured promissory note in the initial principal amount of $810 made by the Smithers Avanza Purchaser and guaranteed by the Company. The promissory note bears interest at 6.5%. 

Following its amendment, the Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by BAS Evansville, Inc. ("BASEV"), Seventh Wave Laboratories, LLC ("Seventh Wave"), as well as BASi Gaithersburg LLC (“BASi Gaithersburg”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement and BASEV's, Seventh Wave's and the BASi Gaithersburg’s obligations under their respective Guaranties are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company, BASEV, Seventh Wave and the BASi Gaithersburg respectively, as well as mortgages on the Company's and BASEV's facilities in West Lafayette, Indiana and Evansville, Indiana, respectively, and pledges of the Company's ownership interests in its subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including restrictions on the Company's ability to dispose of assets, make acquisitions or investments, incur debt or liens, make distributions to shareholders or repurchase outstanding stock, enter into related party transactions and make capital expenditures, other than upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain (i) a minimum debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 for the period ended June 30, 2019 (with ratios ranging from 1.25 to 1.0 to 1.15 to 1.0 for the periods thereafter) and (ii) beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2020, a cash flow coverage ratio whereby, the ratio of the Company’s total funded debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter to its EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the 12 months ended on such date may not exceed 4.50 to 1.00 (5.0 to 1.0 for the period ended March 31, 2020). Upon an event of default, which includes certain customary events such as, among other things, a failure to make required payments when due, a failure to comply with covenants, certain bankruptcy and insolvency events, and defaults under other material indebtedness, FIB may cease advancing funds, increase the interest rate on outstanding balances, accelerate amounts outstanding, terminate the agreement and foreclose on all collateral. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2019. The Company has also agreed to obtain a life insurance policy in an amount not less than $2,000 for its President and Chief Executive Officer and to provide FIB an assignment of such life insurance policy as collateral.

Additionally as part of the Smithers Avanza Acquisition, we have an unsecured promissory note payable to the Smithers Avanza Seller in the initial principal amount of $810 made by BASi Gaithersburg and guaranteed by the Company. The promissory note bears interest at 6.5%.
