11.  Long-Term Debt

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no long-term debt.
Lines of Credit
Susquehanna Bank
At June 30, 2015, the Company had a Master Loan and Security Agreement and Revolving Credit Note with Susquehanna Bank ("Susquehanna").  The Company and its subsidiary, GSE Performance Solutions, Inc., were jointly and severally liable as co-borrowers.  The Loan Agreement provides a $7.5 million revolving line of credit for the purpose of (i) issuing stand-by letters of credit and (ii) providing working capital. Working capital advances bear interest at a rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate of Interest, floating with a floor of 4 1/2%.  The agreement expires on June 30, 2016.
As collateral for the Company's obligations, the Company granted a first lien and security interest in all of the assets of the Company, including but not limited to, accounts receivable, proceeds and products, intangibles, trademarks, patents, intellectual property, machinery and equipment.

On September 9, 2014, the Company signed a Third Comprehensive Amendment to the Master Loan and Security Agreement.  According to the Third Amendment, the Company is to maintain a segregated cash collateral account at Susquehanna Bank equal to the greater of (i) $3.0 million or (ii) the aggregate principal amounts of all Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility (including any issued and outstanding letters of credit, working capital advances, and negative foreign exchange positions) as security for the Company's obligations.  Under this Amendment, Susquehanna Bank shall have complete and unconditional control over the cash collateral account.
On September 30, 2014, Susquehanna Bank collateralized the outstanding letters of credit issued under the line of credit.  At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the cash collateral account totaled $4.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The balances were classified as restricted cash on the balance sheet.

Effective for the quarter ending June 30, 2015, Susquehanna Bank modified the financial covenants in the Company's financing documents.  The amendment to the Master Loan and Security Agreement reduced the number of restrictive covenants from four to two, as depicted below.  The credit agreement still contains certain restrictive covenants regarding future acquisitions and incurrence of debt.
