Credit Agreement (Successor): In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, all indebtedness under STG Group’s prior credit facility was repaid in full and the agreement was terminated. The Company replaced the prior credit facility and entered into a new facility (the Credit Agreement) with a different lending Group. The Credit Agreement provides for (a) a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $81.8 million; (b) a $15 million asset-based revolving line-of-credit; and (c) an uncommitted accordion facility to be used to fund acquisitions of up to $90 million. Concurrent with the consummation of the Business Combination, the full amount of the term loan was drawn and there were no amounts drawn on the other two facilities. Each facility matures on November 23, 2020. The Company recorded $6.4 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the new facility as a reduction to the carrying amount of the new term loan. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the term loan.
 
The principal amount of the term loan amortizes in quarterly installments which increase after each annual period. The quarterly installments range from 0.625% to 2.500% of the original principal amount and are paid through the quarter ending September 30, 2019. The remaining unpaid principal is due on the maturity date of November 23, 2020.
 
At the Company’s election, the interest rate per annum applicable to all the facilities is based on a fluctuating rate of interest. The interest rate in effect as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 was 10.30% and 8.80%, respectively. The Borrowers may elect to use either a Base Rate or a Eurodollar Rate. The interest rate per annum for electing the Base Rate will be equal to the sum of 6.80% plus the Base Rate, which is equal to the highest of: (a) the base commercial lending rate of the Collateral Agent as publicly announced to be in effect from time to time, as adjusted by the Collateral Agent; (b) the sum of 0.50% per annum and the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement); (c) the daily one month LIBOR as published each business day in The Wall Street Journal for a one month period divided by a number equal to 1.00 minus the Reserve Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 100 basis points, as of such day and; (d) 2.00%.
 
The interest rate per annum for electing the Eurodollar Rate will be equal to the sum of 7.80% plus the Eurodollar Rate, which is equal to the highest of: (a) the amount calculated by dividing (x) the rate which appears on the Bloomberg Page BBAM1, or the rate which is quoted by another authorized source, two business days prior to the commencement of any interest period as the LIBOR for such an amount by (y) a number equal to 1.00 minus the Reserve Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and; (b) 1.00%.
 
Advances under the revolving line-of-credit are limited by a borrowing base which may not exceed the lesser of (x) the difference between $15 million and amounts outstanding under letters of credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement; and (y) an amount equal to the sum of: (i) up to 85% of certain accounts receivable of the Company plus (ii) up to 100% of unrestricted cash on deposit in the Company’s accounts with the Collateral Agent, minus (iii) amounts outstanding under letters of credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement, minus (iv) reserves established by the Collateral Agent from time to time in its reasonable credit judgment exercised in good faith. The amount available under the line-of-credit was $15 million at December 31, 2016 (subject to lender consent) and 2015.
 
The Company is also subject to certain provisions which will require mandatory prepayments of its term loan and has agreed to certain minimums for its fixed charge coverage ratio and consolidated EBITDA and certain maximums for its senior secured leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2016, the Company did not meet the required consolidated senior secured leverage ratio and minimum consolidated EBITDA. The Company remained in compliance with the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2016 by using a provision of the Credit Agreement that allowed the Company to cure (the "Cure Right") certain covenant non-compliance by issuances of common stock for cash and use of the proceeds to reduce the principal balance of the term loan.
 
On November 14, 2016, the Company entered into Common Stock Purchase Agreements with Simon S. Lee Management Trust, for which Simon Lee, Chairman, is Trustee, and Phillip E. Lacombe, President and Chief Operating Officer (collectively, the “Investors”), that provided for the sale to the Investors of 462,778 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $3.60 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.7 million. The Company used the proceeds to reduce the principal balance of the term loan as required to effect the Cure Right.
 
As of December 31, 2016, the Company did not satisfy the covenants related to its required consolidated senior secured leverage ratio and minimum consolidated EBITDA. The Credit Agreement does not allow the Company to exercise the Cure Right in consecutive fiscal quarters; therefore, on February 24, 2017, the Company entered into a limited forbearance to credit agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with MC Admin Co LLC and the other lenders under the Credit Agreement. In the Forbearance Agreement, the lenders agreed to forbear from exercising rights and remedies (including enforcement and collection actions), for which we agreed to pay a fee of up to $750,000, related to our failure to comply with covenants related to the fixed charge coverage ratio, consolidated EBITDA and the senior secured leverage ratio, for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016 (the “Specified Financial Covenants”). The Forbearance Agreement requires us to obtain lender consent prior to use of our revolving credit facility during the period of forbearance. The forbearance period expired on March 31, 2017. The Company has also agreed to pay an additional two percent (2%) per annum in interest on the amount outstanding under the loan sunder the Credit Agreement from January 1, 2017 until the earlier of (1) the date on which all loans under the Credit Agreement are repaid and (2) the date on which the non-compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants is are waived by the lenders.
 
The Company entered into a Limited Waiver (“the Waiver”) from MC Admin Co LLC and other lenders under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2017, pursuant to which the lenders waived the Company’s noncompliance with the Specified Financial Covenants as of December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the Waiver:
 
 
·
Loans under the Credit Agreement are subject to additional interest at a rate of  2% per annum until the earliest of (x) the date on which all loans are repaid and all commitments under the Credit Agreement are terminated, (y) the date we deliver the financial statements and certificates for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 showing that we are not in default under the Credit Agreement or (z) the date on which default interest is otherwise due under the Credit Agreement; 
 
 
 
 
·
We must obtain lender consent prior to use of our revolving credit facility; and
 
 
·
We cannot effect a Cure Right in respect of the quarter ending March 31, 2017.
 
The Credit Agreement also provides that the minimum consolidated EBITDA requirement will be increased on June 30, 2017. If our business continues to perform at the current level through that period, we do not expect to satisfy that covenant or the senior secured leverage ratio at that time, and it is likely that we will be in non-compliance at March 31, 2017. An inability to meet the required covenant levels could have a material adverse impact on us, including the need for us to effect an additional Cure Right or obtain additional forbearance or an amendment, waiver, or other changes in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement does not allow the Company to exercise the Cure Right in consecutive fiscal quarters, more than three fiscal quarters in the aggregate, in more than two of any four fiscal quarters or for the quarter ending March 31, 2017. The amount allowed under the Cure Right may not exceed the lesser of $2.5 million and 20% of consolidated EBITDA. The aggregate of Cure Rights may not exceed $5 million. The Waiver does not apply to covenant non-compliance after December 31, 2016 or to covenants other than the Specified Financial Covenants. Any additional forbearance, amendment or waiver under the Credit Agreement may result in increased interest rates or premiums and more restrictive covenants and other terms less advantageous to us, and may require the payment of a fee for such forbearance, amendment or waiver. Although we anticipate that we will be able to renegotiate the financial covenants either through a new credit agreement in connection with the anticipated financing of our planned acquisition of PSS or in the event the acquisition of PSS is not completed, through an amendment of the existing financial covenants under our current Credit Agreement, if we are unsuccessful in executing an amendment to the existing financial covenants, we may not be able to obtain a forbearance, waiver or effect a cure, on terms acceptable to us. 
 
If we are not able to effect an amendment to the Credit Agreement, any future covenant non-compliance will give rise to an event of default thereunder if we are unable to effect a Cure Right or otherwise obtain forbearance or a waiver in which case the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement could be declared immediately due and payable, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
In accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and withstanding no acceleration of repayment of the debt, future annual maturities of long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2016, are as follows (in thousands):

Line-of-credit (Predecessor): Until consummation of the Business Combination, the Company maintained a bank line-of-credit agreement, whereby the Company could borrow up to the lesser of either (1) the sum of its billed accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable, less the balance in its doubtful accounts; or (2) $15 million up through the date of the Business Combination. Borrowings under this facility were secured by all assets of the Company. This facility bore interest at London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.75%. This facility was closed on November 23, 2015 as a result of the Business Combination described further in Note 2.
