In
February 2015,
we entered into a multiple advance term loan agreement and related agreements with MHW SPV II, LLC (‘‘MHW’’), an entity affiliated with the Chairman of our Board of Directors, for a loan in the maximum amount of
$2
million. We borrowed
$945,000
under this loan agreement on
February 3, 2015
and executed a promissory note to evidence this loan and the terms of repayment which requires interest-only payments until maturity.
 
In
July 2017,
we amended and restated the terms of this multiple advance term loan agreement whereby we increased the maximum principal amount of loans to
$2.5
million for up to
sixty
days, and
$2
million thereafter. The term of the loan was modified to be
five
years from the date of modification, thereby extending the term of the
$945,000
loan to
July 19, 2022.
As part of this modification, the interest rate on the
$945,000
loan remains at a fixed annual rate of
12%,
however it was changed so that
6%
is paid in cash monthly in arrears, and
6%
is payable in kind, to be evidenced by additional promissory notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the accrued but unpaid interest. We can prepay the loan at any time, subject to a prepayment fee of (a)
4%
if the prepayment is made prior to
July 20, 2018, (
b)
2%
if the prepayment is made between
July 20, 2018
and
July 19, 2019,
and (c)
1%
if the prepayment is made between
July 20, 2019
and
July 19, 2020.
 
The obligations under the loan are secured by substantially all of our assets pursuant to the terms of a security agreement. In connection with the receivables financing agreement described below, MHW executed a subordination agreement to evidence its agreement that its security interest is subordinated to the security interest of RTS Financial Services, Inc. in all of the Company’s present and future accounts receivable and all proceeds thereof.
 
In conjunction with entering into the loan agreement, the Company and MHW also entered into a warrant granting MHW the right to purchase up to
1,115,827
shares of the Company’s common stock. As part of the
July 2017
modification, we also modified the warrant to change the exercise price of the shares and to extend the term of the warrant to
July 19, 2022.
The warrant is now exercisable for a period of
five
years from
July 19, 2017
at an exercise price of
$0.10
for the
first
390,539
shares,
$0.20
for the next
390,539
shares and
$0.30
for the final
334,749
shares. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction. The fair value of the modified warrant was determined to be approximately
$167,000
and the incremental value of the warrant compared to the original warrant was approximately
$6,000.
This amount was added to the remaining unamortized value of the original warrant such that approximately
$93,000
will be amortized using the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest rate method) over the term of the loan.
$5,000
and
$8,000
was amortized during each of the
three
-month periods ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017,
respectively, for this warrant.
 
On
July 19, 2017,
we also borrowed an additional
$650,000
from MHW Partners, an entity affiliated with MHW. This loan ranks parri-passu with the
$945,000
promissory note held by MHW and is subject to the same loan agreement. Similar to the note held by MHW, this note issued to MHW Partners bears interest at
12%
per annum payable in cash monthly in arrears at a rate of
6%
per annum and payable in kind at a fixed rate of
6%
per annum and has a maturity date of
July 19, 2022.
We can prepay the note issued to MHW Partners at any time, subject to a prepayment fee of (a)
4%
if the prepayment is made prior to
July 20, 2018, (
b)
2%
if the prepayment is made between
July 20, 2018
and
July 19, 2019,
and (c)
1%
if the prepayment is made between
July 20, 2019
and
July 19, 2020.
 
The obligations under the loan agreement and this promissory note are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated security agreement. This security agreement amends and restates the security agreement entered into with MHW in
February 2015.
 
In conjunction with entering into this new loan, we entered into a warrant granting MHW Partners the right to purchase up to
767,500
shares of our common stock. The warrant is exercisable for a period of
5
years from
July 19, 2017,
at an exercise price of
$0.10
for the
first
268,625
shares,
$0.20
for the next
268,625
shares and
$0.30
for the final
230,250
shares. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of this warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transactions. The fair value of the warrant granted was approximately
$115,000.
Using the relative-fair value allocation method, the debt proceeds were allocated between the debt value and the fair value of the warrants, resulting in a recognition of a discount on the loan of approximately
$98,000
and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. This discount will be amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loan. Approximately
$5,000
was amortized during the
three
-month period ended
March 31, 2018.
 
Peter H. Woodward, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, is a principal of MHW Capital Management LLC, which is the investment manager of MHW and MHW Partners. MHW Capital Management LLC is entitled to a performance related fee tied to any appreciation in the valuation of the common stock in excess of the applicable strike price under the warrant.
 
On
October 6, 2017,
we entered into an amendment to our multiple advance term loan agreement and the related security agreement with MHW and MHW Partners, to add new lenders to the loan and security agreements. Upon execution, Mr. Glen Ikeda and Mr. Andrew Berg became new lenders to the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Amendment, Mr. Ikeda then provided a loan in the amount of
$300,000
and Mr. Berg provided a loan in the amount of
$100,000
(collectively the “New Loans”).
 
The New Loans have a maturity date of
July 19, 2022.
The New Loans do
not
bear interest and we are permitted to make optional prepayments at any time without premium or penalty, provided that if we prepay the outstanding principal amount of a New Loan prior to the
second
anniversary of the date of the applicable note, then the total amount of such prepayment will
not
exceed
95%
of the total principal amount of the applicable note and any remaining principal amount under the note shall be fully and finally cancelled, extinguished, forgiven and terminated without further action of any party.
 
The New Loans include customary affirmative covenants for secured transactions of this type, including compliance with laws, maintenance of insurance, maintenance of assets, timely payments of taxes and notice of adverse events. The loan agreement and ancillary documents include customary negative covenants including limitations on liens on assets of the Company.
 
Concurrent with the new loans, we entered into a warrant with Mr. Ikeda granting Mr. Ikeda the right to purchase up to
954,231
shares of our common stock. This warrant is exercisable until
July 19, 2022,
at an exercise price of
$0.10
for the
first
498,981
shares,
$0.20
for the next
273,981
shares and
$0.30
for the final
181,269
shares. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of this warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction.
 
Concurrent with the new loans, we entered into a warrant with Mr. Berg granting Mr. Berg the right to purchase up to
318,077
shares of our common stock. This warrant is exercisable until
July 19, 2022,
at an exercise price of
$0.10
for the
first
166,327
shares,
$0.20
for the next
91,327
shares and
$0.30
for the final
60,423
shares. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of this warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction.
 
The fair value of the
two
warrants granted in connection with the New Loans was approximately
$367,000.
Using the relative fair-value allocation method, the debt proceeds were allocated between the debt value and the fair value of the warrants, resulting in a recognition of a discount on the new loans of approximately
$191,000,
with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. This discount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan using the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest rate method). Approximately
$10,000
was amortized during the
three
-month period ended
March 31, 2018.
