Revolving Line of Credit

 

In April 2015, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Original Loan Agreement”) with East West Bank, or EWB, pursuant to which, the Company may request advances in an aggregate outstanding amount at any time up to the lesser of $7,500,000, which is referred to as the revolving line, or an amount equal to its borrowing base, in each case, less the aggregate outstanding principal amount of prior advances. So long as there is no event of default, the Company may make a one-time request to increase the revolving line by up to $2,500,000, which EWB may accept or decline. In March 2016, the Company and EWB entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Original Loan Agreement. The Original Loan Agreement as amended by the First Amendment is referred to as the “Amended Loan Agreement.” Under the Amended Loan Agreement, through March 31, 2017, the Company may request advances in an aggregate outstanding amount at any time up to the lesser of (a) the revolving line (or $7,500,000) or (b) the sum of $2,000,000 (which the Company refers to as the “sublimit”) plus the amount equal to the Company’s borrowing base, in each case, less the aggregate outstanding principal amount of prior advances. On March 31, 2017, the sublimit becomes zero. If the aggregate amount of advances as of March 31, 2017 exceeds the lesser of the revolving line or the amount equal to the Company’s borrowing base, then it must pay EWB the amount of such excess.

 

Under the Original Loan Agreement, the Company’s borrowing base was, as of the date of determination, an amount equal to the product of: (a) the average monthly recurring revenue for the immediately preceding three months; times (b) one plus the average churn rate for the immediately preceding three months (not to exceed zero); times (c) 300%. The churn rate, with respect to any month, is the quotient of the Company’s monthly net revenue change calculated with respect to such month, divided by its monthly revenue from subscriptions for the month. The manner in which the borrowing base is determined is unchanged under the Amendment, except that the monthly recurring revenue is limited to all recurring subscription revenue attributable to software that the Company sold or licensed and all recurring revenue relating to services it delivered and 50% of all revenue attributable to the Company’s “Stump” product line.

 

In addition, under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company is required to meet a minimum adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), target and churn rate targets, in each case, as specified in the Amended Loan Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is the sum (a) net profit (or loss), after provision for taxes, plus (b) interest expense, plus (c) to the extent deducted in the calculation of net profit (or loss), depreciation expense and amortization expense, plus (d) income tax expense, plus (e) non-cash stock compensation expenses, plus (f) other non-cash expenses and charges, plus (g) to the extent approved by the EWB, other one-time charges, plus (h) to the extent approved by the EWB, any losses arising from the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of assets not in the ordinary course of business. Under the Original Loan Agreement, the Adjusted EBITDA target was measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter with respect to the immediately prior six-month period. Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Adjusted EBITDA target is measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter with respect to the immediately prior three-month period. The churn rate targets, which were unchanged in the Amendment, are measured on a monthly and trailing three-month basis. The Company met the Adjusted EBITDA and the trailing three-month churn rate targets as of the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The Company did not meet the monthly churn rate for the month ended January 31, 2016, which constituted an event of default under the Original Loan Agreement, however, EWB waived that event of default.

 

The Amended Loan Agreement requires: (a) that the Company maintain a balance on deposit with the EWB equal to (i) on March 31, 2017, 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the advances at such time, and (ii) at all times after March 31, 2017, an amount determined by EWB based on the Company’s 2017 financial projections; and (b) that the sum of the following be not less than $2,000,000: (i) the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash that the Company holds in accounts maintained with EWB and (ii) the amount available to the Company under the Amended Loan Agreement.

 

Under the Amended Loan Agreement, all then-outstanding advances are due on December 31, 2017 (under the Original Loan Agreement, the due date was April 14, 2018). On or before March 31, 2017, advances will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the rate of either (A) a variable rate per annum equal to the prime rate as set forth in The Wall Street Journal plus 2.75%, up from 1.25% under the original terms, or (B) at a fixed rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate for the interest period for the advance plus 5.50%, up from 4.00% under the original terms. After March 31, 2017, the interest rates will revert to their original terms.

 

On December 30, 2016, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the loan and security agreement with EWB. Under the terms of the Second Amendment, the due date of all advances under the revolving line was extended from December 31, 2017 to January 15, 2018. No other terms of the Loan Agreement were changed under the Second Amendment.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company requested and received advances in the aggregate of $6,500,000, all of which were advanced at the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin with a three-month interest period. Each time the interest period expired on these advances, the Company elected to renew the advance at the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin with a three-month interest period. Prior to the Amendment, the interest rate on advances ranged from 4.313% to 4.688% per annum. The interest rate on advances since the Amendment have ranged from 6.125% to 6.50% per annum. As of December 31, 2016, $6,500,000 remained outstanding under this credit facility, of which, $2,000,000 is recorded in current portion of long-term debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company had approximately $97,000 available to borrow as of December 31, 2016 based on its borrowing base calculated as of that date. The Company used approximately $3,381,000 of the total amount borrowed under this credit facility to pay down existing indebtedness that was owed to an equipment lender (see “—Equipment Notes Payable,” below). Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the amount that the Company may owe under its current financing arrangement with that equipment lender is not limited to any specified amount. In addition, with EWB’s consent, the Company may incur additional indebtedness with other equipment lenders of up to $2,000,000 in the aggregate for equipment financing.

 

Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company continues to grant and pledge to EWB a first-priority security interest in all the Company’s existing and future personal property.

 

The Company paid $37,500 to EWB as a facility fee at the time of closing in April 2014, and has incurred approximately $9,000 for fees associated with the amendments. An additional facility fee (equal to the product of (x) 0.50% of the increase in the revolving line times (y) the quotient of the number of days remaining between the effective date of such increase and January 15, 2018, divided by 1,095) will be due if the revolving line is increased pursuant to the Company’s request. The Company also pays an unused line fee equal to 0.50% per year of the difference between the amount of the revolving line as in effect from time to time and the average monthly balance in each month, which is payable monthly in arrears. The average monthly balance is calculated by adding the ending outstanding balance under the revolving line for each day in the month divided by the number of days in the month.

 

On February 28, 2017, the Company entered into a third amendment to the loan and security agreement with EWB. See Note 17 for more information.

 

Equipment Notes Payable

 

In May 2013, the Company entered into a financing arrangement with a lender under which the Company may borrow funds to purchase certain equipment. Initially, the maximum amount the Company could borrow under this financing arrangement was $500,000. Over time, the lender increased that maximum amount, and as of December 31, 2016, the maximum amount was $9,690,000, all of which has been borrowed.

 

In April 2015, the Company used approximately $3,381,000 of the proceeds received from the East West Bank credit facility to pay down a portion of the principal amount the Company had borrowed under this financing arrangement, accrued interest and a prepayment fee. As of December 31, 2016, approximately $1,611,000 of principal remained outstanding under this financing arrangement, of which $975,000 is recorded in current portion of long-term debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company was able to borrow up to the maximum amount available under this financing arrangement in tranches as needed. Each tranche borrowed through August 2015 incurred interest at 8.32% per annum; the interest for tranches borrowed thereafter was reduced to rates between 7.32% to 8.05% per annum. With respect to the first $1,000,000 in the aggregate borrowed, principal and interest payments are due in 36 equal monthly installments. With respect to amounts borrowed in excess of the first $1,000,000 in the aggregate, the first monthly payment will be equal to 24% of the principal amount outstanding, and the remaining principal and interest due is payable in 35 equal monthly installments. The Company granted the lender a first security interest in the equipment purchased with the funds borrowed. This equipment lender entered into a subordination agreement with East West Bank.
