New Senior Credit Agreement

On September 29, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a new senior asset-based lending credit agreement with Citizens Bank, N.A. (the “Senior ABL Credit Facility”).

The Senior ABL Credit Facility provides the Company with the following extensions of credit and loans: (1) a Revolving Commitment in the principal amount of $25.0 million (the “Revolving Loan”) and (2) a mortgage-based Term Loan Commitment in the principal amount of $17.5 million (the “Term Loan”). The loans under the Senior ABL Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all domestic assets of the Company and guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries who are not borrowers under the Senior ABL Credit Facility.

The aggregate amount of revolving loans permitted under the Senior ABL Credit Facility may not exceed a borrowing base consisting of: (i) the sum of 85% of certain eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) the lesser of 65% of the value of certain eligible inventory and 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of certain eligible inventory, plus (iii) an amount not to exceed $4.2 million, which amount will be adjusted based on the face amount of certain letters of credit issued to Citizens Bank, N.A. in connection with certain operating leases and capitalized leases, minus (iv) reserves for any amounts which the lender deems necessary or appropriate.

Borrowings under the Senior ABL Credit Facility may be made as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Base Rate loans will bear interest at the fluctuating rate per annum equal to (i) the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1.00%, (b) Citizens own prime rate; and (c) the adjusted Eurodollar rate on such day for an interest period of one (1) month plus 1.00%; and (ii) plus the Applicable Rate, as described below. Eurodollar Rate Loans will bear interest at the rate per annum equal to (i) the ICE Benchmark Administration LIBOR Rate; plus (ii) the Applicable Rate. The “Applicable Rate” will be (a) 2.50% with respect to Base Rate Loans that are Term Loans and 3.50% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Term Loans, and (b) 2.50% with respect to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans and 3.50% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans, in each case until December 31, 2016, and thereafter the Applicable Rate will be adjusted quarterly, responsive to the Company’s Quarterly Average Availability Percentage, ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% with respect to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans and from 2.25% to 2.75% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans. In addition to interest payments on the Senior ABL Credit Facility loans, the Company will pay commitment fees to the lender of 0.375% per quarter on undrawn Revolving Loans. The Company will also pay other customary fees and reimbursements of costs and disbursements to the lender.

The Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan is August 11, 2019, provided, however, upon repayment of Company subordinated indebtedness the maturity date will automatically extend to five years after the Closing Date for Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, and with respect to the Term Loans, the earlier of the date that is (i) ten years after the Closing Date and (ii) the maturity date of the Revolving Loans. The Senior ABL Credit Facility contains certain mandatory prepayment provisions, including mandatory prepayments due in respect of sales of assets, sales of equity securities, events of default and other customary events, with exceptions for non-core business dispositions.

The Senior ABL Credit Facility contains customary covenants and negative covenants regarding operation of the Company’s business, including maintenance of certain financial ratios, as well as restrictions on dispositions of Company assets.

In connection with the Senior ABL Credit Facility, the Company and the Borrowers together with certain subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”), have entered into an Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with Citizens Bank, N.A. dated as of September 29, 2016, which secures all of the loans and credits drawn from the Senior ABL Credit Facility by the Borrowers. The security interests established under the Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement include senior secured liens on substantially all of the assets of the Guarantors. The Guarantors have agreed to guarantee the unconditional payment and performance to the lender of all obligations of the Borrowers under the Senior ABL Credit Facility.

As of October 2, 2016, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the Senior ABL Credit Facility.

Prior Amended & Restated Credit Agreement

On September 29, 2016, the Company refinanced all of the existing long-term debt obligations with Citizens Bank, N.A. into the Senior ABL Credit Facility described above. The Company accounted for the refinancing as an extinguishment of debt and wrote off $0.7 million of previously deferred financing fees.

Subordinated Term Loan Credit Agreement

On November 10, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $20.0 million, five-year Subordinated Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Subordinated Loan Agreement”) with McLarty Capital Partners SBIC, L.P. (“McLarty”), which bears interest at 11% annually. Upon an event of default under the Subordinated Loan Agreement, the interest rate increases automatically by 2.00% annually. The proceeds were used to repay certain outstanding loans under the Company’s previous credit facility. McLarty is indirectly a related party to one of the officers and directors of the Company; therefore, the Board of Directors appointed a special committee consisting solely of independent directors to assure that the Subordinated Loan Agreement is fair and reasonable to the Company and its shareholders.

On April 20, 2016, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement (“McLarty Second Amendment”), as previously amended on December 29, 2014, to modify certain terms including:

(1)

Allows for the exclusion from the fixed charge coverage ratio $1.3 million of certain federal and state taxes paid related to prior years, effective March 27, 2016;

(2)

Modifies the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum total leverage ratio in line with the Company’s current financial expectations, effective March 27, 2016; and

(3)

Establishes mandatory prepayments that will be required upon the completion of asset sales or sale-leaseback transactions, with the amount of the prepayments to be determined based upon achievement of certain leverage ratios.

The Subordinated Loan Agreement has been subordinated to the Senior ABL Credit Facility pursuant to a First Lien Subordination Agreement. The Subordinated Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and prepayment terms that are similar to those contained in the Senior ABL Credit Facility described above.

As of October 2, 2016, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the Subordinated Credit Facility.

Loan Contract

On March 23, 2016, AFT-Hungary Kft. (“AFT Hungary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Loan Contract with Erste Bank Hungary Zrt. in an amount equal to €4.0 million (“Loan Contract”). The initial funding of €4.0 million drawn on the Loan Contract occurred on March 31, 2016. Approximately $3.0 million of the net proceeds from the Loan Contract were used to partially repay obligations outstanding under the Amended & Restated Credit Agreement, with the remaining net proceeds to be used for capital expenditures and other investments to facilitate the export of goods and services provided by AFT Hungary.

The loan matures on March 7, 2021, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 0.98% per annum. The Company is required to make semi-annual principal payments in an amount equal to approximately €400,000 along with monthly interest payments. The Loan Contract is secured by certain of AFT Hungary’s assets, including the real estate and selected machinery and equipment located in Retsag, Hungary.
