Long Term— – 
On December 13, 2023, UG Construction, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an interest only asset based revolving Loan Agreement (the “Line of Credit”) with Gemini Finance Corp. (“Lender”) pursuant to which Lender extended to UG Construction a secured line of credit in an amount not to exceed $10,000,000, to be used to assist UG Construction and the Company with cash management. Lender will consider requests for advances under the Line of Credit, which Lender may accept or reject in its discretion, until September 12, 2024 (the “Initial Term”), subject to an automatic extension for an additional nine-month term until May 12, 2025, provided that UG Construction is in compliance with all the terms of the applicable loan documents and Lender has not sent a written notice of non-renewal at least 60 days prior to expiration of the Initial Term. The Line of Credit contains standard events of default and representations and warranties by UG Construction and the Lender and the Company have entered into a Continuing Guaranty pursuant to which the Company will guarantee repayment of the loans associated with the Line of Credit (the “Guaranty Agreement”).
Loans made under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note - Revolving issued by UG Construction to the Lender (the “Promissory Note”), and each draw on the Promissory Note shall be due and payable on or before 180 days after such draw is funded to UG Construction; provided that, such draw is also subject to a mandatory prepayment upon UG Construction’s receipt of payment for any invoice previously submitted and approved for financing by Lender. Lender will receive a security interest in UG Construction’s Collateral (as defined in the “Security Agreement” entered into as part of the Line of Credit). The Promissory Note earns interest at a monthly rate of one and seventy-five hundredths percent (1.75%).
In connection with entering in the Line of Credit, the Company has agreed to issue to Bancroft Capital, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) cash and warrant compensation in two separate tranches, the first being earned upon closing of the Line of Credit and the remainder of which will be due if and when UG Construction draws more than $4,500,000 from the Line of Credit. Both instances are detailed as follows:
1.At closing of the Line of Credit, the Placement Agent earned a cash fee of $200,000. In addition to the cash fee, the Company will issue to the Placement Agent or its designees, $200,000 worth of warrants (the “Placement Agent’s Warrants”) to purchase the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to 110% of the daily volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq exchange for a period consisting of ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on and inclusive of the trading day of the Closing. The Placement Agent’s Warrants will be exercisable at any time
and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four and a half-year period commencing six (6) months from the date of issuance. The Placement Agent’s Warrants will provide for registration rights (including a one-time demand registration right and unlimited piggyback rights), cashless exercise and customary anti-dilution provisions (for stock dividends and splits) and anti-dilution protection (adjustment in the number and price of such warrants and the shares underlying such warrants) resulting from corporate events (which would include dividends, reorganizations, mergers, etc.).
2.If and when Emerald draws more than $4,500,000 from the Line of Credit, the Placement Agent will earn an additional cash fee of $200,000, and an additional $200,000 worth of Placement Agent’s Warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to 110% of the daily volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq exchange for a period consisting of ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on and inclusive of the trading day of the date that the draws exceeding $4,500,000 were to take place.
As part of the Asset Purchase Agreement of DVO, a non-negotiable promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,806,250, payable to DVO was issued effective November 1, 2022 (the "DVO Promissory Note"). The principal amount, together with the simple interest accrued on the unpaid principal amount outstanding was to be paid by the Company on a quarterly basis for the first four consecutive quarters, with the first payment paid in January 2023, and the remaining three payments due ten days following the end of each subsequent fiscal quarter thereafter until the earlier of the end of the fourth full fiscal quarter following the closing date December 31, 2023 or the payment in full of all amounts due. In the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, a portion of that quarter’s note payment was extended to the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. The DVO Promissory Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty; provided, that each payment shall be accompanied by payment of all unpaid costs, fees and expenses, if any, which are due plus all accrued and unpaid interest due as of the date of such prepayment.
The outstanding principal balance under the DVO Promissory Note shall bear simple interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the rate of interest most recently published by JP Morgan Chase & Co. as the "prime rate" (the "Prime Rate"). Initially, interest will accrue at the Prime Rate as of the date of the DVO Promissory Note. The interest rate will be adjusted on a quarterly basis as of the first day of each full fiscal quarter following the first full fiscal quarter after the closing date to the then current Prime Rate. In connection with the extension of the DVO Promissory Note payment to the first quarter ended March 31, 2024, the interest rate was revised to a fixed rate of 10%, with principal and interest to be paid on a weekly basis.
The other financing agreements relate to short-term financing of the Company's insurance policies and are at an average interest rate of 13.6%.
