RBL Capital Group, LLC
 
Effective
June 30, 2014,
TOT Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries as co-borrowers, TOT Payments, LLC, TOT BPS, LLC, TOT FBS, LLC, Process Pink, LLC, TOT HPS, LLC and TOT New Edge, LLC (collectively, the “co-borrowers”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Credit Facility”) with RBL Capital Group, LLC (“RBL”), as lender (the “RBL Loan Agreement”). The original terms provided us with an
18
-month,
$10
million credit facility with interest at the higher of
13.90%
per annum or the prime rate plus
10.65%.
Interest on drawn amounts outstanding after
November 30, 2015
carry interest at an additional
three
percent per annum until repaid in full, with other amounts, obligations or payments due carrying an annual default rate
not
to exceed the lesser of (i) the prime rate plus
13%
per annum and (ii)
18.635%
per annum. On
May 2, 2016,
we renewed our Credit Facility with RBL, increasing the facility from
$10
million to
$15
million and extending the term through
February 2019. 
At
December 31, 2019,
we had approximately
$5.6
 million available under the Credit Facility, subject to certain terms, conditions, and covenants, stipulated by the lender.  At this time, this Credit Facility cannot be utilized for general working capital purposes or to support the growth of the co-borrowers, due to certain restrictive covenants on the use of proceeds which are subject to the terms and conditions, as defined.
 
The co-borrowers’ obligations to RBL pursuant to the RBL Loan Agreement are secured by a
first
priority security interest in all of the co-borrowers’ tangible and intangible assets, including but
not
limited to their merchants, merchant contracts and proceeds thereof, and all right title and interest in co-borrowers’ processing contracts, contract rights, and portfolio cash flows with all processors of the co-borrowers.
 
           During
2018,
borrowings from the Credit Facility in the amounts of
$3,315,000,
$400,000
and
$250,000
were previously converted into RBL term notes. Effective
March 20, 2018,
we entered into a single note with a principal balance of
$4,544,087
with RBL to effectively refinance all previously issued outstanding RBL notes, including certain additional term notes entered into with RBL through
August 2017.
The refinanced and combined note provides for
four

14.19%,
