Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt
 
Bridge Funding Credit Facility
 
On July 30, 2014 Drive Thru entered into a Development Line Loan and Security Agreement with United Capital Business Lending, whose name was changed to Bridge Funding Group in February 2016 (“Lender”), pursuant to which Lender agreed to loan Drive Thru up to $2,100,000 (the “Loan Agreement”) and entered into a Collateral Assignment of Franchise Agreements, Management Agreement and Partnership Interests with Lender.  In addition, on July 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”) with Lender, pursuant to which the Company guaranteed the repayment of the Loan.  The Loan Agreement, Collateral Assignment, Notes (as defined below) and Guaranty Agreement are referred to herein as the “Loan Documents.”
 
In connection with each disbursement under the Loan Agreement, Drive Thru executed a Promissory Note (the “Notes”) in the full amount of each disbursement request.  The Notes incurred interest at a rate of 6.69% per annum, were repayable in monthly installments of principal and interest over 84 months, and contained other customary terms and conditions.  The Notes were subject to certain prepayment fees ranging between 1% and 3% of the unpaid balance at such time if Drive Thru repaid a Note in certain circumstances prior to the thirty-seventh monthly installment under such Note. All promissory notes associated with the Loan Agreement, including all accrued interest, were paid in full on September 9, 2016, and the Loan Agreement with the Lender was terminated.  In connection with the termination of the Loan Agreement, the Company incurred Debt Extinguishment Costs of $57,000 for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2016 as a result of $20,000 of prepayment fees paid to Lender and the write off of $37,000 in unamortized loan fees associated with the Loan Agreement.
 
Cadence Credit Facility
 
On September 8, 2016 the Company entered into a credit agreement with Cadence Bank (“Cadence”) pursuant to which Cadence agreed to loan the Company up to $9,000,000 (the “Cadence Credit Facility”).  The Cadence Credit Facility will mature on September 8, 2019 and accrues commitment fees on the daily unused balance of the facility at a rate of 0.25%.  All borrowings under the Cadence Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate based upon the Company’s election of (i) 3.0% plus the base rate, which is the highest of the (a) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Cadence bank publicly-announced prime rate, and (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%, or (ii) LIBOR, with a 0.125% floor, plus 4.0%.  Interest is due at the end of each calendar quarter if the Company selects to pay interest based on the base rate and at the end of each LIBOR period if it elects to pay interest based on LIBOR.
 
The Cadence Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that the Company considers customary for an agreement of this type, including covenants setting a maximum leverage ratio of 5.35:1 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1. As of December 27, 2016, the Company was in compliance with its covenants.
 
As a result of entering into the Cadence Credit Facility, the Company paid loan origination costs including professional fees of approximately $173,000 and will amortize these costs over the term of the credit agreement.
 
The obligations under the Cadence Credit Facility are collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
As of December 27, 2016 the Company had not yet borrowed against the Cadence Credit Facility.
