In addition, from and after the date on which the Stadco Term Loan becomes, or at Berkshire Bank’s option, could become due and payable (whether accelerated or not), at maturity, upon default or otherwise, interest shall accrue and shall be immediately due and payable at the default rate equal to 5% per annum greater than the interest rate otherwise in effect, but in no event higher than the maximum interest rate permitted by law.

Small Business Administration Loan On May 8, 2020, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Ranor, issued a promissory note, or the PPP Note, evidencing an unsecured loan in the amount of $1,317,100 made to Ranor under the Paycheck Protection Program, or the PPP. The PPP was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration, or the SBA. The loan to Ranor was made through Berkshire Bank. Principal and accrued interest were set to be payable monthly in equal installments commencing in September 2021 and continuing through the maturity date, unless the PPP Note was forgiven as described below. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loan granted under the PPP, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs, certain group health care benefits and insurance premiums, and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. On June 5, 2020, the PPP was amended to give borrowers more time to spend loan proceeds and still obtain loan forgiveness. The amendments extended the length of the covered period as defined in the CARES Act from eight to twenty-four weeks, while allowing borrowers that received PPP loans before June 5, 2020 to elect to use the original eight-week covered period. The Company applied for loan forgiveness with the SBA under the Paycheck Protection Program on March 26, 2021. On May 12, 2021, as authorized by Section 1106 of the CARES Act, the SBA remitted to Berkshire Bank, the lender of record, a payment of principal and interest in the amount of $1,317,100 and $13,207, respectively, for forgiveness of the Company’s PPP loan. The funds credited to the bank paid this loan off in full. Loan forgiveness is recorded as a gain under other income and expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. |
