On February 8, 2017, the Company entered into Loan and Security Agreements with East West Bank (“EWB”) and Venture Lending & Leasing VII, Inc. and Venture Lending VIII, Inc. (collectively referred to as “VLL7 and VLL8”). The Loan and Security agreement, as amended, with EWB provided a $16.0 million revolving loan facility (“Revolving Loan Facility”), and the Loan and Security Agreement with VLL7 and VLL8 provided a $10.0 million term loan facility (“Term Loan”). All amounts due under the Term Loan were paid in full in May 2018.

 

On February 6, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Tenth Amendment”) to its Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, with EWB which increased the Revolving Loan Facility from $16.0 million to $20.0 million, lowered the interest rate from prime rate plus 1.0% to prime rate plus 0.75%, extended the maturity date to February 8, 2021, and amended certain financial covenants, including covenants with respect to minimum EBITDA levels. On March 27, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Eleventh Amendment”) which modified certain financial covenants.

On January 28, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Twelfth Amendment”) to its Loan and Security Agreement with EWB, which provided a new term loan facility (“EWB Term Loan”) in a principal amount of $4.5 million, which was received on January 28, 2020, and reduced the Revolving Loan Facility under the Loan and Security Agreement from $20.0 million to $15.5 million. The EWB Term Loan has an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus 2.25%, began to amortize on February 1, 2020, with principal in the amount of $250,000 due monthly through the first anniversary of the Term Loan, and the remainder due on such first anniversary. In addition, certain definitions in the Loan and Security Agreement were amended pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment, including the definition of EBITDA and Borrowing Base, and a new fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant was added. Upon repayment of the EWB Term Loan in full, the Revolving Loan Facility will be increased to $20.0 million and the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant will no longer apply. Legal and administrative costs of $90,000 were recorded as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the EWB Term Loan and are being amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the Loan and Security Agreement with EWB.

On May 5, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Thirteenth Amendment”) to its Loan and Security Agreement with EWB. Under the Thirteenth Amendment, certain definitions were amended, including the definitions of Permitted Indebtedness and EBITDA, and certain financial covenants were amended, including reducing from $4.0 million to $3.0 million the amount of unrestricted cash that must be held in the Company’s accounts with EWB during the period from May 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020 and providing for minimum trailing six-month EBITDA of at least $0.6 million during such period and of $0.3 million thereafter. In addition, the Company is not required to make monthly principal payments on the EWB Term Loan for the three payment dates of May 1, 2020, June 1, 2020 and July 1, 2020. In addition, as discussed in Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity, the Company amended the EWB Warrant. The Company calculated the fair value of the amended EWB Warrant using the Black Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions: estimated volatility of 63.2%, risk free interest rate of 0.24%, no dividend yield, and an expected life of three years. The fair value of the amended EWB Warrant of $42,000, as well as legal and administrative costs of $92,000, were recorded as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the Revolving Loan Facility and are being amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the Loan and Security Agreement with EWB.

The Company may voluntarily prepay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility, without prepayment charges. In the event the Revolving Loan Facility is terminated prior to its maturity, the Company would be required to pay an early termination fee in the amount of 1.0% of the revolving line. Additional borrowing requests under the Revolving Loan Facility are subject to various customary conditions precedent, including satisfaction of a borrowing base test as more fully described in the Revolving Loan Facility.

The Revolving Loan Facility contains customary representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, limits or restrictions on the Company's ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make certain restricted payments, merge or consolidate and dispose of assets, and various financial and liquidity covenants. In addition, the Revolving Loan Facility contains customary events of default that entitle EWB to cause any or all of the Company's indebtedness under the Revolving Loan Facility to become immediately due and payable. The events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), include, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and material judgment defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, EWB may terminate its lending commitment and/or declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of all loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan and Security Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Revolving Loan Facility.

On May 5, 2020, the Company issued secured subordinated promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million (the “Notes”) to 21 April Fund, LP and 21 April Fund, Ltd. (collectively referred to as the “April 21 Funds”) pursuant to a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement entered into with the April 21 Funds (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). The Notes are secured by the Company’s assets, but subordinate to the Company’s obligations to EWB under its Loan and Security Agreement.  Proceeds from the sale of the Notes must be used for expenses incurred by the Company in connection with its provisions of goods and services under a statement of work with a third party.  The Notes have an initial term of nine months and do not bear interest during this period. However, if the Notes are not repaid on or before the nine-month anniversary of issuance, (a) the Notes will thereafter bear interest of 8% per annum, payable quarterly, and (b) additional warrants to purchase common stock would be issuable to the April 21 Funds for each month all or a portion of the Notes remain unpaid, as further detailed in the Note Purchase Agreement.  In the event the Notes are not paid in full by the first anniversary of their issuance, May 5, 2021, they shall thereafter bear interest of 12% per annum, payable quarterly, and additional warrants would be issuable to the April 21 Funds. As discussed in Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity, the fair value of the warrants issued to April 21 Funds was  calculated using the Black Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions: estimated volatility of 63.2%, risk free interest rate of 0.24%, no dividend yield, and an expected life of three years. The relative fair value of the warrants of $290,000 was recorded as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the Notes and is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the April 21 Funds promissory notes.

 

On April 9, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) under the Paycheck Protection Program established under Section 1102 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The Note is dated April 8, 2020 with EWB. The Company borrowed a principal amount of approximately $2.9 million. The interest on the Note is 1.00% per annum. The Note is payable two years from the date of the Note, and there is no prepayment penalty. All interest which accrues during the initial six months of the loan period is deferred and payable on the maturity date of the Note. Notes issued under the CARES Act may be eligible for forgiveness in whole or in part in accordance with Small Business Administration rules established for the Paycheck Protection Program. The principal amount outstanding, including accrued interest, is included in current portion – financial liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, as the Company expects all amounts outstanding will be forgiven in the first quarter of 2021.
