LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT WITH CHEROKEE FINANCIAL, LLC

On March 26, 2015, the Company entered into a LSA with Cherokee Financial, LLC (the “Cherokee LSA”). The purpose of the Cherokee LSA was to refinance, at a better interest rate, the Company’s Series A Debentures and Cantone Asset Management Bridge Loan (both of which matured on February 1, 2015), as well as the Company’s Mortgage Consolidation Loan with First Niagara Bank (“First Niagara”). The loan is collateralized by a first security interest in real estate and machinery and equipment. Under the Cherokee LSA, the Company was provided the sum of $1,200,000 in the form of a 5-year Note at an annual interest rate of 8%. The Company is making interest only payments quarterly on the Cherokee Note, with the first interest payment paid on May 15, 2015. The Company also is also required to make an annual principal reduction payment of $75,000 on each anniversary of the date of the closing; with the first principal reduction payment being made on February 15, 2016 and the most recent principal reduction payment being made on February 16, 2017. A final balloon payment is due on March 26, 2020. In addition to the 8% interest, the Company pays Cherokee Financial, LLC (“Cherokee”) a 1% annual fee for oversight and administration of the loan. This oversight fee is paid in cash and is paid contemporaneously with the quarterly interest payments. The Company can pay off the Cherokee Note at anytime with no penalty; except that a 1% administration fee would be required to be paid to Cherokee to close out all participations.

The Company issued 1.8 million restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to Cherokee for payment of fees. In addition, if the loan was not repaid in full as of March 19, 2016, the Company was required to issue another 600,000 restricted shares of common stock to Cherokee. The Company issued these additional shares as required.

As placement agent for the transaction, Cantone Research, Inc. (“CRI”) received a 5% cash fee on the $1.2 million, or $60,000, and 200,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, if the loan was not repaid in full as of March 19, 2016, the Company was required to issue another 196,000 restricted shares of common stock to CRI. The Company issued these additional shares as required.

The Company received net proceeds of $80,000 after $1,015,000 of debt payments, $60,000 in placement agent fees, $19,000 in legal fees, $19,000 in expenses, $3,000 in state filing fees and $4,000 in interest expense (for 8% interest on $511,000 in new participations received from February 24, 2015 through March 25, 2015). With the adoption of ASU No. 2015-03 in the First Quarter 2016, these transaction costs (with the exception of the interest expense) are now being deducted from the balance on the Cherokee LSA and are being amortized over the term of the debt. The First Quarter 2017 and 2016 include reclassifications to reflect the new presentation required under ASU 2015-03.

From these net proceeds, in April 2015, the Company also paid $15,000 in interest expense related to 15% interest on $689,000 in Series A Debentures and CAM Bridge Loan for the period of February 1, 2015 through March 25, 2015.

The Company recognized $39,000 in interest expense in the First Quarter 2017 related to the Cherokee LSA (of which $23,000 is debt issuance cost amortization recorded as interest expense as a result of the adoption of new accounting standards in the First Quarter 2016). The Company had $11,000 in accrued interest expense at March 31, 2017.

The Company recognized $43,000 in interest expense in the First Quarter 2016 related to the Cherokee LSA (of which $19,000 is debt issuance cost amortization recorded as interest expense as a result of the adoption of new accounting standards in the First Quarter 2016). The Company had $13,000 in accrued interest expense at March 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2017, the balance on the Cherokee LSA is $1,050,000, however the discounted balance is $776,000. As of December 31, 2016, the balance on the Cherokee LSA was $1,125,000, however the discounted balance, net of debt discount and debt issuance costs was $828,000.

LINE OF CREDIT WITH CRESTMARK BANK (“CRESTMARK”)

On June 29, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a three-year Loan and Security Agreement (“LSA”) with Crestmark, a new Senior Lender, to refinance the Company’s Line of Credit with Imperium Commercial Finance, LLC (“Imperium”). The Crestmark Line of Credit is used for working capital and general corporate purposes. (See “Note G – Subsequent Event” for information related to the term of the Crestmark Line of Credit).

Under the LSA, Crestmark is providing the Company with a Line of Credit of up to $1,500,000 (“Maximum Amount”) with a minimum loan balance requirement of $500,000. The Line of Credit is secured by a first security interest in the Company’s inventory, and receivables and security interest in all other assets of the Company (in accordance with permitted prior encumbrances).

The Maximum Amount is subject to an Advance Formula comprised of: 1) 90% of Eligible Accounts Receivables (excluding, receivables remaining unpaid for more than 90 days from the date of invoice and sales made to entities outside of the United States), and 2) up to 40% of eligible inventory plus up to 10% of Eligible Generic Packaging Components not to exceed the lesser of $500,000 (“Inventory Sub-Cap Limit”), or 100% of the Eligible Accounts Receivable. Starting August 1, 2015, the Inventory Sub-Cap Limit was reduced by $10,000 per month. This reduction of $10,000 per month continued until October 1, 2016, when the Inventory Sub-Cap Limit reached $350,000; where it will stay fixed.

So long as any obligations are due to Crestmark, the Company must comply with a minimum Tangible Net Worth (“TNW”) Covenant. Under the LSA, as amended, the Company must maintain a TNW of at least $650,000. Additionally, if a quarterly net income is reported, the TNW covenant will increase by 50% of the reported net income. If a quarterly net loss is reported, the TNW covenant will remain the same as the prior quarter’s covenant amount. TNW is defined as: Total Assets less Total Liabilities less the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of non-trade accounts receivables, including accounts receivables from affiliated or related persons, (ii) prepaid expenses, (iii) deposits, (iv) net lease hold improvements, (v) goodwill and (vi) any other asset that would be treated as an intangible asset under GAAP; plus Subordinated Debt. Subordinated Debt means any and all indebtedness presently or in the future incurred by the Company to any creditor of the Company entering into a written subordination agreement with Crestmark. The Company is in compliance with this covenant at March 31, 2017.

If the Company terminates the LSA prior to June 29, 2018 (the 3-year anniversary of the LSA), an early exit fee of 2% of the Maximum Amount (plus any additional amounts owed to Crestmark at the time of termination) would be due.

In the event of a default of the LSA, which includes but is not limited to, failure of the Company to make any payment when due and non-compliance with the TNW covenant, Crestmark is permitted to charge an Extra Rate. The Extra Rate is the Company’s then current interest rate plus 12.75% per annum.

Under the LSA, interest on the Crestmark Line of Credit is at a variable rate based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 2% with a floor of 5.25%. The WSJ prime rate was increased another .25% effective March 16, 2017, so as of the date of this report, the interest only rate on the Crestmark Line of Credit is 6.00%. In addition to the interest rate, on the Closing Date and on each one-year anniversary date thereafter, the Company will pay Crestmark a Loan Fee of 0.50%, or $7,500, and a Monthly Maintenance Fee of 0.30% of the actual average monthly loan balance from the prior month will be paid to Crestmark. As of the date of this report, the interest rate in effect is 10.68% (with all fees; including the weighted annual fee, which is charged on the closing date anniversary and is $7,500 regardless of our balance on the line of credit).

In addition to the Loan Fee paid to Crestmark on the Closing Date, the Company had to pay a Success Fee (i.e. early termination fee) to Imperium in the amount of $50,000 on the Closing Date, and a Broker’s Fee of 5%, or $75,000, to Landmark Pegasus Inc. Prior to the Closing, the Company paid $12,000 in due diligence fees to Crestmark. The Company also incurred $3,000 of its own legal costs related to the Crestmark Line of Credit. With the exception of the early term fee ($50,000) paid to Imperium (which was expensed fully in the year ended December 31, 2015), these expenses are all being amortized over the term of the Crestmark Line of Credit, or three years. The Company recognized $8,000 of this expense in the First Quarter 2017 and $8,000 of this expense in the First Quarter 2016.

The Company recognized $26,000 in interest expense related to the Crestmark Line of Credit in the First Quarter 2017 (of which $8,000 is debt issuance cost amortization recorded as interest expense as a result of the adoption of new accounting standards in the First Quarter 2016).

The Company recognized $24,000 in interest expense related to the Crestmark Line of Credit in the First Quarter 2016 (of which $8,000 is debt issuance cost amortization recorded as interest expense as a result of the adoption of new accounting standards in the First Quarter 2016). Given the nature of the administration of the Crestmark Line of Credit, at March 31, 2017, the Company had $0 in accrued interest expense related to the Crestmark Line of Credit, and there is $0 in additional availability under the Crestmark Line of Credit.

As of March 31, 2017, the balance on the Crestmark Line of Credit was $750,000, and as of December 31, 2016, the balance on the Crestmark Line of Credit was $639,000.
