  9. DEBT

 

As described above, in connection with the Tenth Amendment, the Company and BankUnited agreed to amend the Credit Agreement by (a) amending the maximum leverage ratio applicable for the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2022, and (b) consenting to and waiving certain covenant non-compliance under the Credit Agreement. Under the Tenth Amendment, there are no changes to interest rates or repayment schedule and the terms pertaining to interest rates and repayment schedule remain the same as described below as per the Ninth Amendment. The Tenth Amendment had no effect on the interest rates on the Revolving Term Loan or Term Loan.

 

As described above, in connection with the Ninth Amendment, the Company and BankUnited agreed to extend the maturity dates of the Revolving Loan and Term Loan to September 30, 2023, provide for the repayment of an additional $750,000 of the principal balance of the term loan in three installments of $250,000 on September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 (in addition to the $750,000 in additional principal payments as required by the Eighth Amendment due on November 30, 2021, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022), as well as the $200,000 regular monthly principal payments paid monthly through maturity, increase the interest on the Revolving Loan, Term Loan, and the Amendment Fee as follows: through June 30, 2022, Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.5%; from July 1, 2022 through August 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 5%; from September 1, 2022 through October 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 6%; from November 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, Prime Rate plus 7%; and from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023, Prime Rate plus 8%, waive or consent to certain covenant non-compliance, and waive temporarily or consented to, late delivery of certain financial information and waived permanently late delivery of certain pro-forma budget information. The BankUnited Facility, as amended, requires us to maintain the financial covenants described in the preceding note.

 

The Company paid to BankUnited, commitment and agent fees in the amount of $250,000 in 2021, together with out of pocket costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by BankUnited in connection with the Eighth Amendment. The Company paid to BankUnited, commitment and agent fees in the amount of $107,540 in 2020, together with out of pocket costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by BankUnited in connection with the Sixth Amendment. The Company has cumulatively paid approximately $846,000 of total debt issuance costs in connection with the BankUnited Facility of which approximately $265,000 is included in other assets at December 31, 2021.

 

On April 10, 2020, we entered into the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan, with BNB Bank (now part of Dime Community Bank) as the Lender, in an aggregate principal amount of $4,795,000, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act. The PPP Loan was evidenced by the Note. Subject to the terms of the Note, the PPP Loan bore interest at a fixed rate of one percent (1%) per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred, had an initial term of two years, and was unsecured and guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA). The Note provided for customary events of default including, among other things, cross-defaults on any other loan with the Lender. The PPP Loan could have been accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.

 

On November 2, 2020, the Company applied to the Lender for full forgiveness of the PPP Loan as calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act, as modified by the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act. We were notified by our lender that our application was accepted and forwarded to the SBA. All amounts have been classified as current or long term in accordance with the Note terms.

 

 

 

On July 13, 2021, the Company received notification through Dime that the PPP Loan and accrued interest thereon were fully forgiven by the SBA and that the forgiveness payment date was July 1, 2021. The forgiveness of the PPP Loan was recognized during the Company’s third fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021.

 

The SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP Loan, for eligibility and other criteria, regardless of size. These audits may occur after forgiveness has been granted. In accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), all borrowers are required to maintain their PPP loan documentation for six years after the PPP Loan was forgiven and to provide that documentation to the SBA upon request.

 

The maturities of the long-term debt (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) as of December 31, 2021, are as follows:
