On June 27, 2014, the Company entered into the Loan Agreement with GECC.  Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, GECC provided the Company with a 48-month secured term loan in the amount of $7,500,000 (the “Term Loan”) and a Revolving Loan in the maximum amount of $2,500,000 (the “Revolver”).  The Term Loan and the Revolver each mature on June 27, 2018.  The obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all assets of the Company.

 

The Term Loan bears interest on the outstanding daily balance at a fixed rate of 9.29%.  Under the Term Loan, 36 equal payments of $202,703 commence on July 1, 2015, with one final payment due in an amount equal to the remaining principal balance on the final maturity date. Principal payments under the Term Loan may be deferred for an additional six months if the Company reaches certain financial targets at April 30, 2015.

 

Revolver advances will bear interest at a floating rate equal to 5.5% plus the higher of 1.5% per annum or GECC’s base rate determined by a LIBOR-based formula.  Maximum borrowings under the Revolver are based upon the Company’s eligible accounts receivable as defined in the Loan Agreement. The amount available for borrowing under the Revolver as of September 30, 2014, was $1,645,000. There were no borrowings under the Revolver as of September 30, 2014.

 

The Company has the right to prepay loans under the Loan Agreement in whole or in part at any time.  If the Term Loan is prepaid prior to maturity, an additional fee of 2% of the Term Loan amount is due if such prepayment takes place within one year from the closing date. Thereafter, the additional fee declines to 1% for any prepayment taking place after such first anniversary and prior to the scheduled maturity date.  Upon repayment of the Term Loan at any time, GECC is entitled to an additional fee equal to 4% of the Term Loan amount, or $300,000.

 

The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, including covenants regarding the payment of taxes and other obligations, maintenance of insurance, reporting requirements, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, the Loan Agreement contains customary negative covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, among other things, to grant liens on the pledged collateral, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments and acquisitions, and dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business. The Loan Agreement also contains a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a continuing level of cash plus available borrowing capacity based on a formula. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with the Loan Agreement’s covenants as of September 30, 2014.


In connection with the Loan Agreement executed on June 27, 2014, the Company issued to GECC’s affiliate, GE Capital Equity Investments, Inc., a warrant pursuant to which GE Capital Equity Investments, Inc. received the right to purchase 114,213 shares of Company common stock for a ten-year period,  expiring on June 27, 2024, at an exercise price of $1.97 per share. The shares associated with the warrant were fully vested at the time of issuance. The value of the warrant was estimated  on the date of grant to be $1.67 per share, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming a weighted-average expected stock price of volatility of 86.1%, an expected warrant life of ten years, an average risk-free interest rate of 2.63%, and a 0.0% average dividend yield. The warrant cost of $190,840 as calculated above was capitalized to other assets as a deferred financing cost and will be recognized as interest expense over the 48 months of the Loan Agreement.

 

The Company’s secured term loan with East West Bank was repaid in full at the closing, and the revolving line-of-credit with East West Bank, which had no outstanding balance, was terminated. East West Bank continues to hold warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 163,590 shares of the Company’s common stock which were fully vested at the time of issuance. The unamortized cost of $75,796 at June 27, 2014, pertaining to the warrants, was recorded to interest expense.
