NOTES PAYABLE

In September 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America. Pursuant to the agreement, Bank of America agreed to loan the Company $8,500,000 in the form of a term loan and to provide the Company with an additional $10,000,000 in the form of a revolving line of credit.

In May 2014, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Bank of America. The amended credit agreement amended and restated the prior credit agreement entered into with Bank of America in September 2012. Pursuant to the agreement, Bank of America agreed to loan the Company up to $20,000,000 in the form of a revolving line of credit, subject to certain terms and lending ratios, to be used for feedstock purchases and general corporate purposes. The line of credit bears interest at the option of the Company of either the lender's prime commercial lending rate then in effect between 1.25% and 2% per annum or the Bank of America LIBOR rate plus between 2.35% and 3% (both ranges dependent upon the Company's leverage ratio from time to time). Accrued and unpaid interest on the revolving note is due and payable monthly in arrears and all amounts outstanding under the revolving note are due and payable on May 2, 2017.  The balance on the revolving line of credit was $0 at September 30, 2014.

The financing arrangement discussed above is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets and securities of our direct and indirect subsidiaries other than E-Source Holdings, LLC. The loan includes various covenants binding upon the Company, including, requiring that the Company comply with certain reporting requirements, provide notices of material corporate events and forecasts to Bank of America, and maintain certain financial ratios relating to debt leverage, consolidated EBITDA, maximum debt exposure, and minimum liquidity, including maintaining a ratio of quarterly consolidated EBITDA to certain fixed charges.
During the three month period ended September 30, 2014, an event of default occurred under the financing agreement (as described below and in Note 13) but we are currently working with our lenders to develop new amendments or modifications to our current agreements that would facilitate a mutually beneficial resolution. The default occurred as a result of our failure to satisfy certain requirements of the Credit Agreement including, but not limited to, the following:

The Company failed to make a prepayment of the term loan under the Goldman Sachs Credit Agreement in the amount of $6,299,567 which was due on August 31, 2014, which was required because the Company did not maintain a less than 4:1 Ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve month period ending on August 31, 2014 (The actual Ratio of Consolidated Total Debt for the twelve months ending August 31, 2014 was 4.6:1) and;

The Company failed to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 for the period ending September 30, 2014 (the actual fixed charge coverage ratio for the period ending September 30, 2014 was 1.00 to 1.00).    

On May 2, 2014, the Company entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA. Pursuant to the agreement, Goldman Sachs Bank USA loaned the Company $40,000,000 in the form of a term loan. As set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Company has the option to select whether loans made under the Credit Agreement bear interest at (a) the greater of (i) the prime rate in effect, (ii) the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System plus ½ of 1%, (iii) the sum of (A) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate and (B) 1%, and (iv) 4.5% per annum; or (b) the greater of (i) 1.50% and (ii) the applicable ICE Benchmark Administration Limited interest rate, divided by (x) one minus, (y) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate. Interest on the Credit Agreement is payable monthly in arrears. Amortizing principal payments are due on the Credit Agreement Loan in the amount of $300,000 per fiscal quarter for June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, and $800,000 per fiscal quarter thereafter until maturity on May 2, 2019. The balance on the term loan was $39,400,000 at September 30, 2014.

The Goldman Sachs Bank USA financing arrangement is secured by all of the assets of the Company, but subordinate to the aforementioned Bank of America credit agreement. Amounts outstanding under this agreement have been recorded as current on the September 30, 2014 balance sheet.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants for facilities of similar nature and size as the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also includes various covenants binding the Company including limits on indebtedness the Company may incur and maintenance of certain financial ratios relating to consolidated EBITDA and debt leverage. During the three month period ended September 30, 2014, an event of default occurred, under the credit facility (as a result of, among other things, the cross default of the Bank of America facility described above, see Note 13), and we are currently working with our lenders to develop new amendments or modifications to our current agreements that would facilitate a mutually beneficial resolution. The Agent and Lenders have also communicated their intent to carefully monitor the situation to determine additional remedies.

On May 2, 2014, in connection with the closing of the Omega Refining acquisition, the Company assumed two capital leases totaling $3,154,860. Payments of $2,549,418 were made and the balance was $605,442 at September 30, 2014.

The Company has notes payable to various financial institutions, bearing interest at rates ranging from 5% to 6.35%, maturing from November 2015 to April 2023. The balance of the notes payable is $2,341,572 at September 30, 2014.

The Company financed insurance premiums through various financial institutions bearing interest rates from 4% to 4.52%. All such premium finance agreements have maturities of less than one year and have a balance of $862,409 at September 30, 2014.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company purchased an additional 19% ownership interest in E-Source Holdings, LLC ("E-Source") of which it had previously acquired 51%. In consideration for the additional interest the Company will pay $854,050 of which $200,000 was paid on April 11, 2014 and the remainder is to be paid monthly in $72,672 installments through December 31, 2014. The balance of the note payable is $218,016 at September 30, 2014.
