On March 29, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a commercial bank which was subsequently amended on June 29, 2018 and on December 28, 2020 (“Credit Agreement”). The amended Credit Agreement, which expires on December 28, 2023, provides for a $14.0 million committed credit facility that can be increased to $18 million upon the Company's request. The proceeds of the Credit Agreement may be utilized as follows: (i) $6.0 million for working capital, letters of credit (up to $2.0 million) and general corporate purposes, (ii) $8.0 million for acquisitions and (iii) an additional $4 million for working capital, upon the Company's request. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets with advances outstanding under the working capital portion of the credit facility at any time limited to a Borrowing Base (as defined in the Credit Agreement) equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 50% of eligible inventory and (ii) $3.0 million. Advances under the acquisition portion of the credit facility are limited to 75% of the purchase price of an acquired company and convert to a five-year term note at the time of the borrowing. Borrowings bear interest at the greater of (a) one-half percent or (b) the One Month ICE LIBOR plus a LIBOR Margin of 2.5%. The LIBOR Margin may increase to as high as 3.0% depending on the Company’s cash flow leverage ratio. The interest rate as of March 31, 2021 was approximately 3.0%. The Company pays a fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused amount of the committed credit facility.

On August 21, 2019, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Construction and Term Loan Agreement and a Master Equipment Finance Agreement with its existing commercial bank (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for a five-year, $3.2 million facility, the proceeds of which are to be utilized for expenditures to facilitate future growth at the Company’s treatment facility in Carthage, Texas (the “Texas Treatment Facility”) as follows: (i) $2.0 million for planned improvements and (ii) $1.2 million for equipment. Indebtedness under the Loan Agreement is secured by the Company’s real estate investment and equipment at the Texas Treatment Facility. Advances under the Loan Agreement mature five years from the Closing Date ("August 21, 2019") with monthly payments beginning in the month after the advancing period ends. The advancing period extended through January 15, 2021 and August 2020 for the real estate portion and the equipment portion of the Loan Agreement, respectively. Borrowings during the advancing period for the real estate portion and for the entire term of the equipment portion of the Loan Agreement bear interest computed at the One Month ICE LIBOR, plus two-hundred and fifty (250) basis points which was a rate of 2.74% on March 31, 2021. The Company has entered into a forward rate lock which fixed the rate on the real estate portion of the Loan Agreement at the expiration of the advancing period at 4.15%.

On January 22, 2021, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company entered into a real estate term loan agreement (the "Real Estate Loan Agreement") with its existing commercial bank. The Real Estate Loan Agreement provides for a five-year, $0.9 million facility, the proceeds of which have been utilized to purchase the property in Pennsylvania which had previously been leased by the Company for its operations. The Real Estate Loan Agreement matures five years from January 22, 2021 with monthly payments based on a 20-year amortization and bears interest at 4.0%.

On April 20, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $2.2 million under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under a promissory note from its existing commercial bank (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP, established as part of the CARES Act, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest may be forgivable providing that the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels.

The application for these funds requires the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. Some of the uncertainties related to the Company’s operations that are directly related to COVID-19 include, but are not limited to, the severity of the virus, the duration of the outbreak, governmental, business or other actions (which could include limitations on operations or mandates to provide products or services), impacts on the supply chain, and the effect on customer demand or changes to operations. In addition, the health of the Company’s workforce, and its ability to meet staffing needs in its route-based, treatment and distribution operations and other critical functions are uncertain and is vital to its operations.

The PPP Loan certification further requires the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. While the Company does have availability under its Credit Agreement, $8.0 million of such availability can only be used for acquisitions and the $6.0 million that is available is in place to support working capital needs, along with current cash on hand. Further, the Company has a limited market capitalization and lack of history of being able to access the capital markets and as a result, the Company believes it meets the certification requirements.

The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on our future adherence to the forgiveness criteria. The term of the Company’s PPP Loan is two years. The Company has applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan via its existing commercial bank under the guidelines provided by the Small Business Administration ("SBA") and the Department of Treasury. The annual interest rate on the PPP Loan is 1.0% and no payments of principal or interest are due while the application for forgiveness is under review. If the application for forgiveness is denied, equal monthly payments of principal and interest will be made through the maturity date of April 2022. The PPP Loan is subject to any new guidance and new requirements released by the Department of the Treasury who has indicated that all companies that have received funds in excess of $2.0 million will be subject to a government (SBA) audit to further ensure PPP loans are limited to eligible borrowers in need.

The Credit and Loan Agreements contain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a maximum cash flow leverage ratio of no more than 3.0 to 1.0 and a minimum debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00. The Credit and Loan Agreements also contain customary events of default which, if uncured, may terminate the agreements and require immediate repayment of all indebtedness to the lenders.
