SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
NOTE 7 – SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
 
On March 24, 2014, Fordham Capital Partners, LLC (“Fordham”) extended a $500,000 revolving loan (the “Equipment Loan”) to Z Trim Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) evidenced by an Equipment Revolving Note (the “Note”) issued by the Company to Fordham.  The Note requires monthly payments of principal of $10,417 plus interest, commencing on April 24, 2014 and continuing until February 24, 2015, followed by a final balloon payment of the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note and all accrued and unpaid interest on March 24, 2015.  The interest on the Note is calculated at a fixed rate of 20% per annum.  The Note may be prepaid in full at any time; provided that if the Company prepays the Note prior to September 24, 2014 (such six-month period, the “Guaranteed Interest Period”), it must pay a prepayment penalty equal to the amount by which (i) the aggregate interest that Fordham would have received on the Note during the Guaranteed Interest Period had there been no prepayment exceeds (ii) the aggregate interest paid by the Company prior to the date of prepayment.
 
Pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated March 24, 2014, between the Company and Fordham (the “Security Agreement”), the Equipment Loan is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s equipment (as more specifically defined in the Security Agreement, the “Collateral”).  The Security Agreement also contains customary restrictive covenants, including without limitation, covenants prohibiting the Company from (i) granting additional liens in the Collateral, (ii) selling, leasing or transferring the Collateral, (iii) entering into certain merger, consolidation or other reorganization transactions, and (iv) creating, incurring or assuming additional indebtedness, in each case subject to certain exceptions.  The Security Agreement also contains customary events of default.  If an event of default under the Security Agreement occurs and is continuing, Fordham may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable.  After an event of default, interest on the Note would accrue at a rate of 25% per annum.
 
Additionally, pursuant to the Factoring Agreement, dated March 24, 2014, between the Company and Fordham, Fordham may purchase any Accounts of the Company (the “Factoring Agreement”).  To secure payment and performance of the Company’s liabilities and obligations to Fordham, including obligations under the Factoring Agreement, the Company granted Fordham a security interest in all of the Company’s (i) Accounts, (ii) Inventory, (iii) Chattel Paper, Deposit Accounts, Documents, Equipment, Financial Assets, Fixtures, General Intangibles, Instruments, Investment Property, Letter-of-Credit Rights, Securities, Software and Supporting Obligations, (iv) books and records of Seller which relate to Accounts, (v) all amounts owing to the Company under the Factoring Agreement, and (vi) Proceeds of the foregoing.  The Factoring Agreement terminates at any time that the Equipment Loan is paid in full.
 
On July 16, 2014, the Company and Fordham Capital Partners, LLC entered into an Amended and Restated Equipment Revolving Note (the “Amended Note”) in the amount of $582,841.63.  The Amended Note requires monthly payments of principal of $12,143 plus interest, commencing on July 24, 2014 and continuing until February 24, 2015, followed by a final balloon payment of the entire unpaid principal balance of the Amended Note and all accrued and unpaid interest on March 24, 2015.  The interest on the Amended Note is calculated at a fixed rate of 22% per annum.
 
Also on July 16, 2014, the Company and Fordham Capital Partners, LLC entered into a First Amendment to Security Agreement in which the Amended Note is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s equipment under substantially the same terms and covenants as stated in the original Security Agreement indicated above.
 
On July 25, 2014, the Company and Fordham Capital Partners, LLC entered into an Amended and Restated Equipment Revolving Note (the “Second Amended Note”) in the amount of $668,750.  The Second Amended Note requires one monthly payment of principal of $12,143 plus interest, commencing on July 25, 2014 followed by successive monthly installments of principal of $13,679 plus interest and continuing until February 24, 2015, followed by a final balloon payment of the entire unpaid principal balance of the Second Amended Note and all accrued and unpaid interest on March 24, 2015.  The interest on the Second Amended Note is calculated at a fixed rate of 22% per annum.
