6.  Debt

On September 14, 2020 the Company entered into a secured revolving credit facility pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement, which was amended by a First Amendment on July 2, 2021 (as amended, the "Loan Agreement") with Bridgewater Bank (“Bridgewater”). The Loan Agreement provides for availability under a secured revolving credit facility of up to $25 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility was $10 million and zero as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base that equals 80% of the margin value of securities collateral that has been pledged to Bridgewater. The Revolving Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on September 14, 2021, but the Company extended the maturity to September 14, 2022, as permitted under the Loan Agreement. The maturity date may be extended by the Company for up to one additional extension period of twelve months subject to certain conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Company's obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its material subsidiaries' assets, other than intellectual property, real estate and foreign assets, including equity in foreign subsidiaries. The Company has also pledged the stock of certain of its subsidiaries to secure such obligations. Interest under the Loan Agreement accrues at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) 3.25% per annum and (ii) the 90-day interest rate yield for U.S. Government Treasury Securities plus 2.75% per annum. A facility fee is payable on unused commitments at a rate of 0.075% quarterly. For fiscal 2021, unused commitment fees, reported within interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations, totaled $0.1 million.

The Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for a transaction of this type which, among other things, require the Company to meet certain financial tests, including (i) minimum liquidity, (ii) minimum current ratio, (iii) minimum adjusted EBITDA, and (iv) minimum tangible net worth. The Loan Agreement also contains covenants which, among other things, limit the Company's ability to incur additional debt, make certain investments, create or permit certain liens, create or permit restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions, consolidate or merge and engage in other activities customarily restricted in such agreements, in each case subject to exceptions permitted by the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the Bank to terminate its commitment and accelerate the Revolving Credit Facility.
