U.S. Credit Agreement

In August 2015, PFSweb, Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Regions Bank, as agent for itself and one or more lenders now or hereafter made a party thereto (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s previously existing credit facilities with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) and Comerica Bank (“Comerica”).  During the three months ended September 30, 2015, as contemplated by the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement was expanded to also include Bank of America N.A. and HSBC Bank USA, National Association.  Under the Credit Agreement, and subject to the terms set forth therein, the Lenders have agreed to provide PFS with a revolving loan facility for up to $32.5 million and a term loan facility for up to $30 million through August 5, 2020.  Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, PFS has the ability to increase the total loan facilities to $75 million.  Availability under the revolving loan facility may not exceed a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable (as defined).  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at a variable rate, plus an applicable margin.  As of September 30, 2015, the interest rate for the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement was 4.5%.  Advances under the revolving loan potion of the Credit Agreement are due and payable on August 5, 2020.  Term loan advances amortize during the five year term of the Credit Agreement based upon scheduled percentage payments with the then remaining balance owed (60% of the amount borrowed) due on August 5, 2020.  In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company paid $0.6 million of fees, which are being amortized through the life of the Credit Agreement and are reflected as a net reduction in debt. The Credit Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the shares of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.  The Credit Agreement contains cross default provisions, various restrictions upon the Company’s ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to subsidiaries, affiliates and related parties, make capital expenditures, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, as well as financial covenants, as defined, of a minimum consolidated fixed charge ratio and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio.

Loan and Security Agreement – Supplies Distributors

Supplies Distributors had a loan and security agreement with Wells Fargo that provided financing for eligible accounts receivable in the United States and Canada. Borrowings under the Wells Fargo facility accrued interest at prime rate plus 0.25% to 0.75% or Eurodollar rate plus 2.5% to 3.0%, dependent on excess availability and subject to a minimum of 3.0%, as defined. As of December 31, 2014, the interest rate was 3.75% for $2.3 million of outstanding borrowings and 3.0% for $1.0 million of outstanding borrowings. This agreement included a monthly service fee and contained cross default provisions, various restrictions upon the ability of Supplies Distributors to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to related parties (including entities directly or indirectly owned by PFSweb, Inc.), provide guarantees, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure and pay dividends. This agreement also contained financial covenants, such as minimum net worth, as defined, and was secured by all of the assets of Supplies Distributors, as well as a collateralized guaranty of PFS. Additionally, PFS was required to maintain a Subordinated Note receivable balance from Supplies Distributors of no less than $2.5 million, could not maintain restricted cash of more than $5.0 million and was restricted with regard to transactions with related parties, indebtedness and changes to capital stock ownership structure. Supplies Distributors had entered into blocked account agreements with its banks pursuant to which a security interest was granted to Wells Fargo for all U.S. and Canadian customer remittances received in specified bank accounts. In August 2015, the Company replaced this Wells Fargo facility with the new Credit Agreement described above.  There were no material costs associated with the retirement of the Wells Fargo facility.

Loan and Security Agreement – PFS

PFS had a Loan and Security Agreement (“Comerica Agreement”) with Comerica. The Comerica Agreement provided for up to $17.0 million ($20.0 million during certain seasonal peak months) of eligible accounts receivable financing (“Working Capital Advances”). The Comerica Agreement also provided for up to $2.0 million of eligible equipment advances (“Equipment Advances”). Effective March 31, 2014, borrowings under the Working Capital Advance portion of the Comerica Agreement accrued interest at prime rate plus 1% while the Equipment Advances accrued interest at prime rate plus 1.5%. The Comerica Agreement included a monthly service fee and contained cross default provisions and various restrictions upon PFS’ ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to related parties (including entities directly or indirectly owned by PFSweb, Inc.), make capital expenditures, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, as well as financial covenants of a minimum tangible net worth of $20 million, as defined, a minimum earnings before interest and taxes, plus depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation accruals, if any, as defined, and a minimum liquidity ratio, as defined. The Comerica Agreement restricted the amount of the Subordinated Note receivable from Supplies Distributors to a maximum of $5.0 million. The Comerica Agreement was secured by all of the assets of PFS, as well as a guarantee of PFSweb, Inc.  In August 2015, the Company replaced this Comerica facility with the new Credit Agreement described above. There were no material costs associated with the retirement of the Comerica facility.

Debt Covenants

To the extent the Company or any of its subsidiaries fail to comply with its covenants applicable to its debt or vendor financing obligations, including the financial covenant requirements, such as profitability and cash flows, as defined, the Company would be required to obtain a waiver from the lender or the lender would be entitled to accelerate the repayment of any outstanding credit facility obligations, and exercise all other rights and remedies, including sale of collateral and enforcement of payment under the Company parent guarantee. Any acceleration of the repayment of the credit facilities may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and no assurance can be given that the Company would have the financial ability to repay all of such obligations. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Master Lease Agreements

The Company has various agreements that provide for leasing or financing transactions of equipment and other assets and will continue to enter into such arrangements as needed to finance the purchasing or leasing of certain equipment or other assets. Borrowings under these agreements, which generally have terms of three to five years, are generally secured by the related equipment, and in certain cases, by a Company parent guarantee.
