LOAN PAYABLE UNDER CREDIT AGREEMENT

6. LOAN PAYABLE UNDER CREDIT AGREEMENT

On March 6, 2015, FlexShopper, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (“Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time-to-time, the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as paying agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto and WE 2014-1, LLC, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC, as administrative agent and lender (“Lender”). The Borrower is permitted to borrow funds under the Credit Agreement based on FlexShopper’s cash on hand and the Amortized Order Value of its Eligible Leases (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) less certain deductions described in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Borrower may borrow up to $57,500,000 from the Lender until the Commitment Termination Date and must repay all borrowed amounts one year thereafter, on the date that is 12 months following the Commitment Termination Date (unless such amounts become due or payable on an earlier date pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement). The Lender was granted a security interest in certain leases as collateral under this Agreement.

On January 29, 2021, the Company and the Lender signed an Omnibus Amendment to the Credit Agreement. This Amendment extended the Commitment Termination Date to April 1, 2024, amended other covenant requirements, partially removed indebtedness covenants and amended eligibility rules. The interest rate charged on amounts borrowed is LIBOR plus 11% per annum. At December 31, 2021, amounts borrowed bear interest at 11.25%.

The Credit Agreement provides that FlexShopper may not incur additional indebtedness (other than expressly permitted indebtedness) without the permission of the Lender and also prohibits payments of cash dividends on common stock. Additionally, the Credit Agreement includes covenants requiring FlexShopper to maintain a minimum amount of Equity Book Value, maintain a minimum amount of liquidity and cash and maintain a certain ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value (each capitalized term, as defined in the Credit Agreement). Upon a Permitted Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement), FlexShopper must refinance the debt under the Credit Agreement, subject to the payment of an early termination fee. A summary of the covenant requirements, and FlexShopper’s actual results at December 31, 2021, follows:

		December 31, 2021
		Required Covenant				Actual Position
Equity Book Value not less than		$	8,000,000			$	16,143,619
Liquidity greater than			1,500,000				5,094,642
Cash greater than			500,000				5,094,642
Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value ratio not to exceed			5.25				3.40

The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including, among others, failures to make payment of principal and interest, breaches or defaults under the terms of the Credit Agreement and related agreements entered into with the Lender, breaches of representations, warranties or certifications made by or on behalf of FlexShopper in the Credit Agreement and related documents (including certain financial and expense covenants), deficiencies in the borrowing base, certain judgments against FlexShopper and bankruptcy events.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $5,268,566 available under the Credit Agreement. Credit availability is subject to a borrowing base which is redetermined from time to time and based on specific advance rates on eligible current assets. As the Company continues to originate lease agreements, new leases will be eligible for the borrowing base and this will open more availability under the Credit Agreement.

Interest expense incurred under the Credit Agreement amounted to $4,323,830 for the year ended December 31, 2021, and $3,192,019 for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $50,475,000 as of December 31, 2021 and was $37,195,696 as of December 31, 2020. Such amount is presented in the consolidated balance sheet net of unamortized issuance costs of $413,076 at 2021 and $61,617 at 2020. Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding balance of the amounts borrowed. No principal is expected to be repaid in the next twelve months due to the Commitment Termination Date having been extended to April 1, 2024, or from reductions in the borrowing base. Accordingly, all principal is shown as a non-current liability at December 31, 2021.

On March 5, 2021, the applicable regulators announced that LIBOR will cease to be provided and will no longer be representative (i) immediately after December 31, 2021 for all sterling, euro, Swiss franc and Japanese yen settings, and the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar settings and (ii) immediately after June 30,2023 for the remaining U.S. dollar settings. The Company’s debt bears interest based on the one-month LIBOR rate. If there is a LIBOR Disruption Event as defined in the Credit Agreement, LIBOR will be replaced with the Prime Rate.
