LONG-TERM DEBT |
On
May 13, 2011, the Company, certain of the Company’s wholly
owned subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the
“Borrowers”), and Everest Group LLC
(“Lender”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the
“Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed
to loan the Borrowers an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000
(the “Loan”). The Loan was funded to the
Borrowers on May 16, 2011. The Borrowers used the
proceeds of the Loan for working capital and other general
corporate purposes.
The
Loan Agreement provides for a one-year term, unless terminated
earlier pursuant to its terms or extended upon the mutual agreement
of all parties. Subject to applicable law, the Borrowers
will pay an annual interest rate equal to 18% on the unpaid
principal balance of the Loan. Interest will be payable
monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month (unless
such day is not a business day, in which case interest will be
payable on the next succeeding business day) commencing June 1,
2011. Commencing on November 1, 2011, and on the first
day of each subsequent calendar month, the Borrowers will be
required to make $50,000 monthly installment payments of principal
on the Loan, with the unpaid principal balance to be due and
payable on the termination date of the Loan.
Pursuant
to a General Security Agreement (the “Security
Agreement”) also entered into on May 13, 2011, and as a
condition to closing the Loan and the other transactions
contemplated by the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers granted to Lender
a security interest in certain of their assets, including (without
limitation) their accounts receivable, books, tort claims, deposit
accounts, equipment, general intangibles, inventory, investment
property, negotiable collateral, property and the proceeds
thereof. Certain Borrowers, including the Company, also
entered into agreements with Lender and their banking institutions
to grant Lender certain rights and remedies with respect to their
deposit accounts.
The
Loan Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants
of the parties that are customary for transactions similar to the
Loan. These include:
The
Loan Agreement defines certain events of default, including (among
other things) (i) the Borrowers’ failure to make any payment
required under the Loan Agreement when due (subject to a
five-business-day cure period), (ii) the Borrowers’ failure
to comply with their covenants and agreements under the Loan
Agreement and other Loan documents and (iii) the occurrence of a
change of control with respect to the Company. Upon an
event of default, Lender would be entitled to immediately
accelerate all amounts due and payable in respect of the Loan and a
cash default fee of $20,000. Prepayment may not occur in
full or in part without the consent of Lender within the first six
months of the term. After November 1, 2011, upon the
payment to Lender of a prepayment fee equal to the present values
of prospective payments of interest without the prepayment of the
Loan, the Borrowers may prepay all or any portion of the unpaid
principal amount of the Loan prior to the termination
date.
In
connection with closing the Loan, the Borrowers paid Lender a
$20,000 cash origination fee and also reimbursed Lender for $20,000
in closing costs, including attorneys’ fees and other
out-of-pocket expenses related to the negotiation of the Loan
Agreement. Both the cash origination fee and the closing
costs were expensed in the third fiscal quarter of
2011.
