As described above, in connection with the Twelfth Amendment, the Company and BankUnited agreed to amend the Credit Agreement by: (a) extending the maturity date of the Company’s existing revolving line of credit and its existing term loan to November 30, 2024 (under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the outstanding principal balance of the term loan will be repaid by June 30, 2023); (b) providing for reduction of the aggregate maximum principal amount of all revolving line of credit loans to $20,520,000 from October 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, $19,800,000 from January 1, 2024 through March 31, 2024, $19,080,000 from April 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024, $18,360,000 from July 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024, and $17,640,000 from October 1, 2024 and thereafter, and for payments to be made by the Company to comply therewith (if any such payments are necessary), on the first day of each such period; and (c) payment of a $250,000 capitalized fee incurred in connection with the Eighth Amendment to the Credit Agreement in two installments, the first installment to be paid on June 1, 2023 in the amount of $116,667 and the second installment to be paid July 1, 2023 in the amount of $133,333, together with all unpaid interest accrued at the term loan interest rate on the capitalized fee through each such date.

 

As described above, in connection with the Eleventh Amendment, the Company and BankUnited agreed to amend the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan to November 30, 2023 or with respect to the Term Loan, if earlier, until the outstanding principal balance is paid in full (the “Term Loan Maturity Date”), (b) providing for regular monthly principal payments of $200,000 on the Term Loan from January 1, 2023 through the Term Loan Maturity Date (in addition to the Company’s existing obligation to make two principal payments on the term loan of $250,000 on each of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023) and (c) decreasing the interest rate on the Revolving Loan, the Term Loan and the Amendment Fee to the Prime Rate plus 3.5% effective as of November 1, 2022.

 

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.

 

In 2022, as consideration for the lenders entering into the Ninth Amendment, the Company paid a $62,833 fee to the lenders. In 2021, the Company paid to BankUnited, commitment and agent fees in the amount of $250,000, together with out of pocket costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by BankUnited in connection with the Eighth Amendment. The Company has cumulatively paid approximately $908,000 of total debt issuance costs in connection with the BankUnited Facility of which approximately $131,000 is included in other assets at December 31, 2022.

 

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 Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“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 as other income during the year ended December 31, 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 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, 2022, are as follows:

 

Year ending December 31,        
2023     $ 1,719,766  
2024       44,498  
2025       26,483  
Total     $ 1,790,747  

 

Included in the long-term debt are financing leases and notes payable totaling $207,414 and $422,595 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, including a current portion of $136,433 and $215,181, respectively.

 

The BankUnited Facility is secured by all of the Company’s assets and both the Revolving Loan and Term Loan bear interest at the Prime Rate + 3.50%. The Prime Rate was 7.50% as of December 31, 2022 and as such, the Company’s interest rate on the Revolving Loan and Term Loan was 11.00% as of December 31, 2022.

 

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Term Loan had an aggregate principal balance due of $1,583,333 and $4,483,333, respectively, payable in monthly installments, as defined in the Credit Agreement.
