On October 1, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Comerica Loan Agreement") with Comerica Bank, providing the Company with a $2,000,000 term loan (the "Comerica Term Loan") and a revolving line of credit (the "Comerica Revolver"), pursuant to which the Company could borrow, for working capital needs, an amount up to the lesser of (i) 80% of eligible accounts receivable and (ii) $3,000,000 (the "Comerica Loans"). 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 Loans are subject to certain financial covenants, including without limitation, financial 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. 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 mutually agreed to amend the Comerica Loan Agreement (the "Amendment"). The Amendment established revised definitions and ratios relating to the three financial covenants discussed above to reflect the Company's projections of EBITDA and liquidity. The Amendment also provided that the Company maintain a restricted cash balance of $400,000 in a collateral account at Comerica Bank and limit extraordinary expenses in connection with acquisitions. As of March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants under the Comerica Loan Agreement.

The Comerica Revolver bears interest on outstanding borrowings at a rate equal to the Prime Rate (as defined in the Comerica Loan Agreement, or 3.25% as of March 31, 2013) plus 2.00%. The Amendment reduced funds available to the Company under the Comerica Revolver so that advances under the Comerica Revolver cannot exceed the lesser of (i) $3,000,000 and (ii) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, less in each case any amount outstanding under the Comerica Term Loan up to $1,500,000. As of March 31, 2013, we had outstanding borrowings under the Comerica Revolver of $780,000 and we had unused borrowing availability of approximately $419,000. The Comerica Revolver matures on April 1, 2014.

The Comerica Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate (3.25% as of March 31, 2013) plus 3.00%. As of March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance under the Comerica Term Loan was $2,000,000. The outstanding balance of the Comerica Term Loan on October 1, 2013 shall be payable in 24 equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, beginning on November 1, 2013. The Comerica Term Loan matures on November 1, 2015.

On October 1, 2012, in connection with the Affinity acquisition, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Escalate Loan Agreement”) with Escalate Capital Partners SBIC I, L.P. ("Escalate"), providing the Company with a $6,500,000 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. The outstanding balance of the Escalate Term Loan shall be payable in 36 equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, beginning on October 31, 2014. 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. 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 were reflected as a debt discount to the Escalate Term Loan. The Comerica Amendment discussed above required the consent of 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 shares were valued at $147,000 using the March 28, 2013 stock price of $1.47 and were reflected as a debt discount to the Escalate Term Loan. The total debt discount was $697,000 as of March 31, 2013 and is being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the loan through the maturity date. As of March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants.

On October 1, 2012, in connection with the Affinity acquisition, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Note”), in favor of the prior stockholders of Affinity (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). During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Note was reduced by $240,000 in accordance with the terms of the Note in connection with severance obligations the Company incurred related to the acquisition of Affinity resulting in an equal and offsetting reduction in Goodwill. Approximately $237,000 of these severance obligations remain payable and are recorded in Accrued Expenses in the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2013.
