On November 13, 2013, the Company, together with each of its subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Resource Capital Fund V L.P. (“RCF”), whereby RCF agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, to provide a secured convertible loan facility of up to $15.0 million to the Company. The facility initially consisted of three tranches of $5.0 million each. RCF advanced $3.0 million of the first $5.0 million tranche shortly following the closing of the Loan Agreement and on January 29, 2014, the Company’s stockholders, excluding RCF, approved the Loan Agreement and the issuance of shares thereunder. Following such approval, RCF advanced the remaining $2.0 million of the first tranche on February 4, 2014. On April 29, 2014, the Company and RCF executed an amendment to the Loan Agreement which reduced the amount available thereunder from $15.0 million to $8.0 million, and on April 30, 2014, the Company requested, and RCF advanced, the final $3.0 million available under the Loan Agreement.  The total amount drawn under the Loan Agreement is $8.0 million as of June 30, 2014.

 

Amounts drawn under the Loan Agreement mature on December 31, 2016 and bear interest at 12% per annum through January 29, 2014 and 10% per annum thereafter, payable quarterly in arrears in shares of the Company’s common stock or, at RCF’s election, in cash.  Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee quarterly equal to 1% of the amount available, but not drawn, under the Loan Agreement.  In connection with the Loan Agreement the Company also paid, in shares of the Company’s common stock, a 2% loan establishment fee in the amount of $300,000 to RCF. The number of shares to be issued as payment for interest and fees is determined based upon the volume weighted-average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days preceding the last day of each quarter for interest payments and commitment fees and the 20 trading days preceding October 17, 2013 for the loan establishment fee.  Accordingly, the Company has issued the following shares of common stock for settlement of interest expense, commitment fees and the establishment fee:

As of June 30, 2014, the interest expense and commitment fee of $183,889 relating to the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 was included in accrued liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Also as of June 30, 2014, the Company has no additional amount available for advance under the Loan Agreement and, as a result, no longer incurs the commitment fee.

 

The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by pledges on the equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries and a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the amounts drawn under the Loan Agreement without penalty, subject to a minimum prepayment amount of $5.0 million or (if lower) the full amount then outstanding. Prepaid amounts may not be redrawn. The loan agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default and grants RCF the right to designate two nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors so long as any obligations remain outstanding under the Loan Agreement.

 

RCF may convert amounts drawn under the Loan Agreement into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to maturity on December 31, 2016. The conversion price is initially set at $2.60 per share and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and further downward adjustment, subject to a floor of $1.00 per share, in case of certain equity issuances by the Company before November 13, 2014. As of August 8, 2014, RCF owned approximately 6.7 million shares or 27% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. If RCF were to convert the entire $8.0 million outstanding under the Loan Agreement, assuming a conversion price of $2.60 per share, RCF would receive approximately 3.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock, and RCF’s ownership percentage in the Company would increase to approximately 35%.
