(“PNC”) The Company has a Loan Facility with PNC that has been amended many times during its term. Substantially all of its assets are pledged as collateral under the Loan Facility. The Company is required to maintain a lockbox account with PNC, into which substantially all of its cash receipts are paid. The Loan Facility provides for a $15,000,000 revolving loan and a term loan with a balance of $1,572,000 at December 31, 2018 (the “Term Loan”). The repayment terms of the Term Loan provide for monthly principal installments in the amount of $123,133, payable on the first business day of each month, with a final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on the scheduled maturity date. The terms of the Loan Facility require, among other things, that the Company maintain a specified Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and maintain a minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Facility) for specified periods. In addition, we are limited in the amount of Capital Expenditures it can make. The Company is also limited to the amount of dividends it can pay as defined in the Loan Facility. The Loan Facility has been amended many times during its term, most recently on May 30, 2018 (the “Sixteenth Amendment”), January 2, 2019 (the “Seventeenth Amendment”) and February 8, 2019 (the “Eighteenth Amendment”). The Sixteenth Amendment waived Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant violations for the periods ending September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018. The Sixteenth Amendment imposes minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) covenants of not less than (i) $75,000 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2018, (ii) $485,000 for the six month period ending June 30, 2018, and (iii) $1,200,000 for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2018. The Company complied with these new covenants for the three-months ended March 31, 2018, the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. In addition, the Company is prohibited from paying dividends to its stockholders and limits capital expenditures. Under the terms of the Seventeenth Amendment, the revolving loan and the Term Loan bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus four percent (4%). In addition to the amounts available as revolving loans secured by inventory and receivables pursuant to the formula set forth in the Loan Agreement, PNC has agreed to permit the revolving advances to exceed the formula amount by $1,000,000 as of December 31, 2018, provided that we reduce the “Out-of-Formula Loan” by $25,000 per week commencing April 1, 2019, with the unpaid balance payable in full on December 31, 2019. The indebtedness under the revolving loan and the Term Loan are classified with the current portion of notes and capital lease obligations. Both the revolving loan, inclusive of the Out-of Formula Loan, and the Term Loan mature on December 31, 2019. As a condition to its agreement to extend the maturity of the obligations due under the Loan Agreement (the “Obligations”), we are obligated to pay PNC an extension fee of (i) $250,000 on the earlier of (a) the date the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full or (b) June 30, 2019, (ii) $125,000 on the earlier of (a) the date the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full or (b) December 31, 2019, which amount is deemed earned in full if the Obligations have not been satisfied as of July 1, 2019, (iii) $125,000 on the earlier of (a) the date the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full or (b) December 31, 2019, which amount is deemed earned in full if the Obligations have not been satisfied as of October 1, 2019 (iv) $500,000 on December 31, 2019, which amount is deemed earned in full if the Obligations have not been satisfied as of December 31, 2019.

Payment of the principal and accrued interest on the 8% Notes are junior and subordinate in right of payment to our indebtedness under the Loan Facility. Interest on the 2018 Notes is payable on the outstanding principal amount thereof at the annual rate of 8%, payable quarterly commencing February 28, 2017, in cash, or at our option, in additional 2018 Notes, provided that if accrued interest payable on $1,269,000 principal amount of the 2018 Notes issued in December 2016 is paid in additional 2018 Notes, interest for that quarterly interest payment shall be calculated at the rate of 12% per annum. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, interest shall accrue at the rate of 12% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we issued $297,000 principal amount of 8% Notes in lieu of cash payment of accrued interest. As of September 30, 2018, we had outstanding $4,775,000 principal amount of 8% Notes, of which $2,575,000 principal amount was due on November 30, 2018 and $2,200,000 principal amount was due on February 28, 2019. In September 2018, holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the 8% Notes consented to an amendment to the terms of the 8% Notes to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2020 and to provide that interest on the 8% Notes, as amended (the “Amended Notes”), shall accrue and be paid on the due date of the Amended Notes or, if earlier, upon conversion of the Amended Notes into shares of common stock. At September 30, 2018, Michael Taglich, Robert Taglich and Taglich Brothers (collectively, the “Taglich Parties”) owned $1,300,000, $650,000 and $382,000, respectively, principal amount of 8% Notes, with accrued interest thereon from the date of issuance through September 30, 2018 of $203,613, $120,097 and $68,294, respectively. In consideration for waiving all defaults in payment of principal and accrued interest on the 8% Notes through the date of the amendment, the conversion price of the Amended Notes owned by the Taglich Parties and the other holders of the Amended Notes has been reduced to $1.50 per share, subject to the anti-dilution adjustments set forth in the Amended Notes and the 8% Notes, and the Company issued to the Taglich Parties and the other holders of the 8% Notes such number of shares of common stock calculated based upon a value of $1.39 per share, the closing market price of common stock on the NYSE American on September 28, 2018, the date immediately prior to the date the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the 8% Notes approved the amendment as is equal to the interest accrued on their 8% Notes from the date of issuance through September 30, 2018. As a result, the Company issued to Michael Taglich, Robert Taglich and Taglich Brothers 146,484 shares, 86,401 shares and 49,132 shares, respectively, of common Stock. From and after September 30, 2018, interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Amended Notes shall accrue and be paid at the rate of six (6%) percent per annum, if paid in cash, or at the rate of eight (8%) percent per annum if converted into common stock. For soliciting noteholders in connection with the adoption of the amendments, the Company agreed to pay Taglich Brothers $95,550, representing a fee equal to 2% of the outstanding principal amount of Notes whose registered holders (other than Taglich Brothers) received shares of common stock in lieu of cash payment of accrued interest on the 8% Notes as of September 30, 2018. |
