Line of Credit and Bank Term Loan
 
In December 2013, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with BridgeBank (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement had an original term of 27 months set to expire on March 31, 2016. In December 2015, BridgeBank agreed to extend the term to a maturity date of December 31, 2016. The Loan Agreement provides for up to $5 million of revolving credit advances which may be used for acquisitions and working capital purposes. Borrowings are limited to the lesser of (i) $5 million and (ii) 80% of eligible receivables as defined. The Company can borrow up to $1.0 million in out of formula borrowings for specified periods of time.   Borrowings accrued interest at BridgeBank’s prime plus 1.00% (4.25%) through June 1, 2015 and then increased to prime plus 5.00% (8.25%) in accordance with an amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (see below). The prime rate adjusted to 3.5% on December 17, 2015. The Company pays an annual commitment fee of 0.25%. Borrowings are secured by all of the Company’s assets and all of the Company’s intellectual property. The Company is also required to comply with certain financial and reporting covenants including an Asset Coverage Ratio. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had an outstanding balance under the Loan Agreement of $2.5 million. The Company was in compliance with all financial reporting covenants for the period ended December 31, 2015.
 
In December 2014, the Company signed an Amendment to its Loan and Security Agreement with BridgeBank (the “Amendment”). As part of the Amendment Mr. Michael Taglich, a member of the Board of Directors, signed an unconditional guaranty (the “Guaranty”) and promise to pay the Company’s lender, BridgeBank, N.A all indebtedness in an amount not to exceed $1 million in connection with the out of formula borrowings. The Amendment also modified certain monthly financial reporting requirements and financial covenants on a prospective basis commencing as of the effective date of the Amendment. In July 2015, the Company further amended its Loan and Security Agreement with BridgeBank which further extended the Guaranty from Mr. Taglich to an amount not to exceed $2 million in connection with the out of formula borrowings.
 
Under the terms of the Guaranty, the Guarantor authorizes Lender, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder, from time to time to: (a) renew, compromise, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment, or otherwise change the terms, of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, or otherwise change the terms of the Indebtedness; (b) receive and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Indebtedness and exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any such security; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender in its discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute any Guarantor or any one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Indebtedness.
 
To secure all of Guarantor's obligations hereunder, Guarantor assigns and grants to Lender a security interest in all moneys, securities, and other property of Guarantor now or hereafter in the possession of Lender, all deposit accounts of Guarantor maintained with Lender, and all proceeds thereof. Upon default or breach of any of Guarantor's obligations to Lender, Lender may apply any deposit account to reduce the Indebtedness, and may foreclose any collateral as provided in the Uniform Commercial Code and in any security agreements between Lender and Guarantor.
 
At December 31, 2015, the Company had an outstanding short term bank loan with BridgeBank of $500 which was repaid in January 2016. At September 30, 2015, the Company had an outstanding short term bank term loan with BridgeBank of $250 which was repaid in October 2015.
 
Term Notes from Shareholder
s
 
The Company has issued term notes to Mr. Michael Taglich and Mr. Robert Taglich, both of whom are shareholders of the Company. Mr. Michael Taglich is also a Director of the Company. Five term notes totaling $2.25 million have been issued to Michael Taglich from the period of January 7, 2015 through December 3, 2015. Total interest due to Mr. Michael Taglich on his notes is $108 as of December 31, 2015. Term notes totaling $250 were issued to Robert Taglich on December 3, 2015. Total interest due to Mr. Robert Taglich on his note is $2 as of December 31, 2015. On December 23 2015, all of the Term Notes due to Mr. Michael and Mr. Robert Taglich were amended.
The amendments consisted of an increase of 1.5% interest per annum effective January 1, 2016, an extension of the maturity date to March 1, 2017, and a prepayment penalty of 2%. Interest is due and payable for each of the above mentioned notes on the maturity date.
 
In consideration of the loans by Michael Taglich and a personal guaranty delivered by Michael Taglich to BridgeBank, N.A. for the benefit of Bridgeline on December 19, 2014 (the “Guaranty”), on January 7, 2015 the Company issued Michael Taglich a warrant to purchase 60,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price equal to $4.00 per share. On January 7, 2015, Bridgeline also entered into a side letter with Michael Taglich pursuant to which Bridgeline agreed in the event the Guaranty remains outstanding for a period of more than 12 months, on each anniversary of the date of issuance of the Guaranty while the Guaranty remains outstanding Bridgeline will issue Michael Taglich a warrant to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock, which warrant shall contain the same terms as the warrant issued to Michael Taglich on January 7, 2015.
 
Mr. Taglich was also issued warrants in connection with the first four term notes. He was issued 120,000 at an exercise price of $4.00 in conjunction with the second and third Notes and 160,000 at an exercise price of $1.75 in connection with the fourth Note. The warrants have a term of five years and are exercisable six months after the date of issuance. Bridgeline agreed to provide piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants. The fair value of the warrants issued to Mr. Taglich in connection with all of the Term Notes is $270 which was reflected as a debt discount in current liabilities with the offsetting amount recorded to additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The fair market value of the warrants is being amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected life, which was adjusted to coincide with the amendment to the maturity dates.
Amortization of the debt discount is $100 through December 31, 2015.
