Long-term Debt and Note Payable to Bank
 
The Company has credit facilities consisting of a real estate term loan, as amended and restated (the “Virginia Real Estate Loan”), a supplemental real estate term loan, as amended and restated (the “North Carolina Real Estate Loan”) and a revolving credit note.
 
On
December
21,
2016,
the Company entered into a Loan Modification Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Bank of North Carolina (“BNC”) to modify the Credit Agreement dated
April
26,
2016
entered into between the Company and BNC, the Revolving Credit Note dated
April
26,
2016
payable by the Company to BNC and the term loans dated
April
26,
2016
payable by the Company to BNC.
 
The Agreement with BNC lowered the interest rate of the Virginia Real Estate Loan and the North Carolina Real Estate Loan to
3.75%
effective
January
1,
2017
and resulted in lower monthly installment payments. The real estate loans continue to be secured by a
first
priority lien on all of the Company’s personal property and assets, all money, goods, machinery, equipment, fixtures, inventory, accounts, chattel paper, letter of credit rights, deposit accounts, commercial tort claims, documents, instruments, investment property and general intangibles now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company and wherever located, as well as a
first
lien deed of trust on the Company’s real property.
 
Long-term debt as of
January
31,
2017
and
October

2015
consists of the following:

The Revolving Credit Note (“Revolver”) with BNC provides the Company with a
$7.0
million revolving line of credit (“Revolving Loan”) for the working capital needs of the Company. Under the Agreement and Revolver, BNC provides the Company with
one
or more revolving loans in a collective maximum principal amount of
$7.0
million. The Company
may
borrow, repay, and reborrow at any time or from time to time while the Revolving Loan is in effect.
 
The Agreement with BNC also resulted in the lowering of the applicable margin in the Revolving Credit Note and established a floor on the interest rate for the Revolving Credit Note such that the LIBOR Adjusted rate will never be less than
2.50%
per annum. The Revolving Loan accrues interest at adjusted LIBOR plus
2.50%
(resulting in a
3.16%
rate at
January
31,
2017).
The Revolving Loan is payable in monthly payments of interest only with principal and any outstanding interest due and payable at maturity.

On
February
28,
2017,
subsequent to the Company’s fiscal
first
quarter, the Company entered into a Second Loan Modification Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) extending the maturity date of the Revolver to
March
31,
2019,
and removing certain previously existing provisions of the Revolving Loan that required reductions in availability originally contemplated to occur on
February
28,
2017
and
2018.
As a result, the collective maximum principal amount of the Revolving Loan will remain at
$7.0
million. All other terms of the Revolving Loan remain unaltered and remain in full force and effect. Within the revolving loan limit of the Revolving Loan and the Modification Agreement, the Company
may
borrow, repay, and reborrow, at any time or from time to time until
March
31,
2019.
 
The Revolving Loan continues to be secured by a perfected
first
lien security interest on all assets, including but not limited to, accounts, as-extracted collateral, chattel paper, commodity accounts, commodity contracts, deposit accounts, documents, equipment, fixtures, furniture, general intangibles, goods, instruments, inventory, investment property, letter of credit rights, payment intangibles, promissory notes, software and general tangible and intangible assets owned now or later acquired. The Revolving Loan is also cross-collateralized with the Company’s real property.
