NOTE D – NOTES PAYABLE

On August 4, 2011, the Company entered into a $28.7 million Credit Facility with its existing lender, which amended its $24.3 million credit facility that was set to mature on August 7, 2011. The Credit Facility includes a $3.7 million term loan on its Tampa headquarters, and a revolving loan of up to $25.0 million for working capital, letters of credit, capital expenditures and other purposes. Actual amounts available under the revolving loan are determined by a defined borrowing base calculation. As a result of the borrowing base calculation as of December 31, 2011, the Company had $18.4 million available for advances, of which the Company had used $13.2 million of the revolving loan, including $9.3 million of advances, $3.8 million of availability for letters of credit to support the Company's future raw materials purchases and self-insurance policies, and $0.1 million maintained as a required reserve. As a result, at December 31, 2011, the Company had excess availability of $5.2 million. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $3.6 million outstanding on the term loan, which is classified as a mortgage payable, and amortizes based on a 20-year schedule. The Credit Facility matures on August 4, 2016.

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The interest rate on the revolving and term loans varies between 50 and 250 basis points over the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) or LIBOR depending on the level of the fixed charge coverage ratio. The type of interest rate is an election the Company periodically makes. As of December 31, 2011, $7.5 million of the outstanding revolving loan was based on LIBOR plus 2.50% (3.0% as of December 31, 2011) and the remaining outstanding revolving loan balance of approximately $1.8 million was at the Prime Rate plus 1.00% (4.25% at December 31, 2011). As of December 31, 2011, $3.5 million of the outstanding term loan was based on LIBOR plus 2.50% (3.0% as of December 31, 2011) and the remaining outstanding term loan balance of approximately $65,000 was at the Prime Rate plus 1.00% (4.25% at December 31, 2011).

The Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with (a) a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 through March 31, 2012 and 1.1 to 1.0 thereafter; (b) a funded debt to EBITDA ratio not to exceed 2.0 to 1.0; (c) a limit on annual capital expenditures of $2.0 million each year through December 31, 2013 increasing to $2.5 million annually for 2014 and 2015; and (d) a limit on annual reusable surgical product capital expenditures of $9.0 million each year through December 31, 2013, increasing to $10.0 million annually in 2014 and $11.0 million annually in 2015.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company did not comply with the required fixed charge coverage ratio under the Credit Facility. On February 28, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility with its lender, under which the Company's lender waived this default. Additionally, the interest rate on the revolving and term loans increased to between 250 and 450 basis points over the Base Rate or LIBOR depending on the level of the fixed charge coverage ratio, which represents a 200 basis point increase. The Company's fixed charge coverage ratio will not be tested on January 31, 2012 or February 29, 2012 and the Company must maintain a minimum excess availability of not less than $2.5 million during the period February 1, 2012 through and including five business days following the Company's lender's receipt of required monthly compliance information from the Company for the period ending March 31, 2012. Should the Company not be in compliance with any of the Credit Facility covenants at a future date, the Company believes that it would be able to obtain a waiver or amendment from its lender or have alternative financing options available to the Company.

The Credit Facility includes typical provisions restricting the Company from paying dividends, incurring additional debt, making loans and investments, encumbering its assets, entering into a new business, or entering into certain merger, consolidation, or liquidation transactions.
