Sterling National Bank ("SNB") On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a new loan facility ("SNB Facility") with Sterling National Bank, ("SNB") expiring on December 30, 2022. The new loan facility provides for a $16,000,000 revolving loan ("SNB revolving line of credit") and a term loan ("SNB term loan"). Proceeds from the SNB Facility repaid the Company's outstanding loan facility ("PNC Facility") with PNC Bank N.A. ("PNC"). The formula to determine the amounts of revolving advances permitted to be borrowed under the SNB revolving line of credit is based on a percentage of the Company's eligible receivables and eligible inventory (as defined in the SNB Facility). Each day, the Company's cash collections are swept directly by SNB to reduce the SNB revolving loan balance and the Company then borrows according to a borrowing base formula. The Company's receivables are payable directly into a lockbox controlled by SNB (subject to the terms of the SNB Facility). The initial repayment terms of the SNB term loan provided for monthly principal installments in the amount of $45,238, payable on the first business day of each month, beginning on February 1, 2020, with a final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on December 30, 2022. In addition, for so long as the SNB term loan remains outstanding, if Excess Cash Flow (as defined) is a positive number for any fiscal year, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2020, the Company shall pay to SNB an amount equal to the lesser of (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the term loan. Such payment shall be made to SNB and applied to the outstanding principal balance of the term loan, on or prior to April 15 of the Fiscal Year immediately following such Fiscal Year. On November 6, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement ("First Amendment"). The terms of the agreement increase the Term Loan to $5,685,000. The repayment terms of the term loan were amended to provide monthly principal installments in the amount of $67,679 beginning on December 1, 2020, with a final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on December 30, 2022. Additionally, the date by which certain subordinated third-party notes need to be extended by was changed from September 30, 2020 to November 30, 2020. The Company has paid an amendment fee of $20,000. The Company may voluntarily prepay balances under the SNB Facility. Any prepayment of less than all of the outstanding principal of the SNB term loan is applied to the principal of the SNB term loan. The terms of the SNB Facility require that, among other things, the Company maintain a specified Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 at the end of each Fiscal Quarter beginning with the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2020. In addition, the Company is limited in the amount of Capital Expenditures it can make. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants. The SNB Facility also restricts the amount of dividends the Company may pay to its stockholders. Substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged as collateral under the SNB Facility. The aggregate payments for the term note at December 31, 2020 are as follows:
For the year ending |  | Amount |
December 31, 2021 |  | $ | 812,000 |
December 31, 2022 |  |  | 4,805,000 |

Under the terms of the SNB Facility, both the SNB revolving line of credit and the SNB term loan bear an interest rate equal to 30-day LIBOR, plus 2.5% (with a floor of 3.5%). As of December 31, 2020, the Company's debt to SNB in the amount of $21,207,000 consisted of the SNB revolving line of credit note in the amount of $15,649,000 and the SNB term loan in the amount of $5,558,000.

No interest expense was incurred on the SNB Facility during 2019. PNC Bank N.A. ("PNC") The Company previously maintained a financing facility with PNC. Under such facility, substantially all of the Company's assets were pledged as collateral. The PNC Facility provided for a $15,000,000 revolving line of credit ("PNC revolving line of credit") and a term loan ("PNC term loan"). Interest expense related to the PNC Facility amounted to approximately $1,860,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
