In June 2012, the Company entered into the Second Loan Modification Agreement (as amended, the "Revolving Loan Facility") with Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000 for working capital purposes. In October 2012, the Revolving Loan facility with SVB was terminated in connection with repayment of outstanding amounts due and replaced with a revolving line of credit with Comerica Bank (the "Comerica Revolver"), pursuant to which the Company can borrow, for working capital needs, an amount up to the lesser of (i) 80% of eligible accounts receivable and (ii) $3.0 million. The Comerica Revolver bears interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate (as defined in the Comerica Loan Agreement) plus 2.00%. The prime rate was 3.25% as of December 31, 2012. The Comerica Revolver is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and secured guarantees executed by GP Communications, LLC, and Affinity. The Comerica Loan Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and investments, restricted payments and dispositions. The Comerica Loans are subject to certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, covenants that require the Company to maintain a total funded debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, to maintain a senior funded debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio and to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the agreement. The Comerica Loan Agreement also provides for events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to pay other obligations within ten days after becoming due, failure to comply with covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, default under certain other indebtedness, certain insolvency events affecting the Company, the occurrence of certain material judgments or if any guaranty of the Company’s obligations ceases to be in full force and effect. On March 28, 2013, the Company and Comerica Bank mutually agreed to amend the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Amendment”), which Amendment required the consent of Escalate Capital Partners SBIC I, L.P. ("Escalate").  In consideration of Escalate's consent to the Amendment and entrance into an Affirmation, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to Escalate.  The Amendment established revised financial covenants for future minimum levels of liquidity and EBITDA to be more consistent with the Company's continuing operations.  The financial covenants affected by the Amendment were (i) the total funded debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, (ii) the senior funded debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio and (iii) the fixed charge coverage ratio.  The Amendment also added two new financial covenants, a minimum cash requirement and an extraordinary expenses limitation.  Further, the Amendment reduced funds available to the Company under the Comerica Revolver so that advances under the Comerica Revolver cannot exceed the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, less in each case any amount outstanding under the Comerica Revolver up to $1,500,000. The outstanding balance of the Comerica Term Loan on October 1, 2012 shall be payable in 24 equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, beginning on November 1, 2013. The Comerica Revolver matures on April 1, 2014. As of December 31, 2012, we had unused borrowing availability of approximately $2,220,000.

In connection with the Affinity acquisition, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Comerica Loan Agreement”) with Comerica Bank, providing the Company with a $2.0 million term loan (the “Comerica Term Loan”). The Comerica Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate (as defined in the Comerica Loan Agreement) plus 3.00%. The prime rate was 3.25% as of December 31, 2012. The proceeds of the Comerica Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the Affinity acquisition. The Comerica Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and secured guarantees executed by GP Communications, LLC and Affinity. The Comerica Loan Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and investments, restricted payments and dispositions. The Comerica Term Loan is subject to certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, covenants that require the Company to maintain a total funded debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, to maintain a senior funded debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio and to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the agreement. The Comerica Loan Agreement also provides for events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to pay other obligations within ten days after becoming due, failure to comply with covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, default under certain other indebtedness, certain insolvency events affecting the Company, the occurrence of certain material judgments or if any guaranty of the Company’s obligations ceases to be in full force and effect. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants. The Comerica Term Loan matures on November 1, 2015.

The Company also entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Escalate Loan Agreement”) with Escalate, providing the Company with a $6.5 million term loan (the “Escalate Term Loan”) for a term of 60 months. The Escalate Term Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 12.0% per annum, with interest-only payable monthly for the first 24 months and, commencing after such interest-only period, monthly payments of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued interest, for the remainder of the term. The proceeds of the Escalate Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the Affinity acquisition. The Escalate Term Loan is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and secured guarantees executed by GP Communications and Affinity, and is subordinated to the Comerica Loans. The Escalate Loan Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and investments, restricted payments and dispositions. The Escalate Loan Agreement also provides for events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay principal when due, failure to pay interest within three business days after becoming due, failure to pay other obligations within ten days after becoming due, failure to comply with covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, default under certain other indebtedness, certain insolvency events affecting the Company and its subsidiaries or the occurrence of certain material judgments. The Escalate Loan Agreement also provides for certain management rights for Escalate, including (i) the ability for Escalate to consult with and advise management of the Company on significant business issues, including management’s proposed annual operating plans and (ii) the ability for Escalate to examine the books and records of the Company and inspect the Company’s facilities during normal business hours with reasonable notice. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants.

In connection with the Escalate Term Loan, the Company issued to Escalate 295,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Escalate Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.01 per share on October 1, 2012. Escalate received standard piggyback and demand registration rights with respect to the Escalate Shares. The shares were valued at $611,000 using the October 1, 2012, stock price of $2.08 less the purchase price and is reflected as a debt discount to the Escalate Term Loan. The cost is being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the loan through the maturity date.

The Revolving Loan Facility, Comerica Loans and Escalate Term Loans financing costs of $651,000 and $28,000 are included in Other Assets in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. The financing costs are being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of each loan through each maturity date. During the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 there was $153,000 and $62,000, respectively, of amortization of financing costs.

On October 1, 2012, the Company also issued a promissory note (the “Note”), in favor of the Stockholder Representative, in original principal amount of $2.33 million, due and payable on December 31, 2014. The principal amount of the Note accrues interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, and such interest shall be payable in arrears in quarterly payments commencing on April 1, 2013. Beginning on April 1, 2013 and on the first day of each month thereafter, if the Company has achieved a minimum EBITDA (as defined the Comerica Loan Agreement), the Company shall make a principal payment in the amount of $50,000. The Company shall make additional payments on the principal amount on each of June 30, 2013, December 31, 2013, June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 in amount equal to 40% of the Company’s trailing six month EBITDA (as defined in the Comerica Loan Agreement) less $3.0 million, provided that the June 30, 2013 principal payment shall only be made if the Company is in compliance with the Fixed Charge Ratio (as defined in the Note).
