NOTE 8:                      LONG-TERM DEBT

On April 22, 2008, the Company entered into a three year Modified and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Capital One, N.A. (“Capital One” as the “Bank”) as successor to North Fork Bank, pursuant to which the Bank agreed to make revolving loans to the Company of up to $5 million until May 1, 2011. Interest on the unpaid principal balance on this facility accrued at either (i) the LIBOR rate plus 2.00% or (ii) the Bank’s prime rate minus .25%. This agreement contained certain financial and other covenants. Borrowings were collateralized by the Company’s assets.

The amount available under this Credit Agreement was $5,000,000. On May 9, 2011 the Company and the Bank agreed to an extension of the Credit Agreement until August 1, 2011, on the same terms and conditions as previously agreed to, during which time it intended to negotiate a new agreement. On August 1, 2011, the Company let this Credit Agreement which had no borrowings outstanding, expire.

On August 5, 2011, the Company entered into a $9.1 million credit agreement with HSBC Bank, USA, N.A., (“HSBC”), to replace its $5.0 million Revolving Credit Agreement and $2.1 million of existing mortgages previously held by Capital One Bank, N.A., which was secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property. This new agreement consists of a $7 million revolving credit facility and a $2.1 million five (5) year term loan.  The revolving credit facility permits the Company to borrow on a revolving basis until August 5, 2014. Interest on the unpaid principal balance on this facility accrues at either (i) the LIBOR Rate plus 1.75% or (ii) the bank’s prime rate minus 0.50%. The term loan is being used to pay off the existing mortgages previously held by Capital One Bank, N.A. Interest on the unpaid principal balance accrues at a fixed rate of 3.045%. Borrowings under this term loan are additionally collateralized by $1 million, provided that, so long as no event of default has occurred and is then continuing, HSBC will release $200,000 of the collateral on each anniversary of the closing date. This restricted cash is a separate line item on the balance sheet. The credit agreement also contains certain financial covenants which the Company was in compliance with at September 30, 2011.
